The eldest prince Nangong Mo Ze went straight to Nanhua Palace to have breakfast with his father...

The third prince Nangong Wenhao took a deep look at Duanmujie, and then went to Concubine De's palace to pay his respects to his mother.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess Duanmujie left the palace to meet friends.

After the return of the eldest prince Nangong Moze, the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom seemed to have changed. He became ascetic and no longer visited the concubines in the harem. He only had a son like Nangong Moze in his eyes. The father and son, except Nangong Mo,

Ze occasionally went out of the palace to do business, and spent 2 hours a day studying with Master Sugliao. The rest of the time, father and son were together almost every day, handling memorials together, discussing important court affairs together, eating together, and when they became interested, they also wrote poems and paintings together.

...The emperor personally taught the eldest prince Nangong Moze those imperial academics. The emperor also thoroughly analyzed the situation of all the forces and families, and told the eldest prince Nangong Moze everything...

Because the late emperor of the Southern Kingdom loved collecting beauties, he canonized four queens during his lifetime, namely the four queen mothers who are still alive today: Empress Dowager Dugu, Empress Dowager Qin, Empress Dowager Gongsun, and Empress Dowager Chen.

Speaking of which, the reason why the Southern Emperor was unable to protect Nangong Moze's mother and queen was because the rights of the Southern Royal Family were too eroded and penetrated by their relatives, and the constraints between the various forces were too complicated.

The four queen mothers, Empress Dowager Dugu, Empress Dowager Qin, Empress Dowager Gongsun, and Empress Dowager Chen, were not the biological mothers of the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom. It was just because the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom's biological mother died young and they were adopted under the name of the Queen Mother Dugu when she was young. The Queen Mother Dugu herself had only one child with the late emperor.

As a princess, when the Southern Emperor became the prince, he had the opportunity to inherit the throne in the name of the eldest prince.

Empress Dowager Dugu is the aunt of Empress Qin (the now demoted Chief Envoy of Qin and the prince’s biological mother).

The Queen Mother of Qin was the aunt of the original Queen Qin.

Empress Dowager Gongsun is the direct aunt of the current eldest prince, Gongsun Youlan, and the cousin of the third prince, Gongsun Rouya.

The Queen Mother Chen is the princess of a very small country in the vassal country of the Southern Kingdom. She is the Queen Mother who has the least interference from her natal family. The Queen Mother Chen is the biological aunt of Prince Ning. Prince Ning Nangong Chen Ning's biological mother is just a comparison of the late Emperor's status.

My little concubine has passed away long ago.

On the surface, southern folk customs attach great importance to filial piety and respect for teachers. Therefore, after the southern emperor succeeded to the throne, in order to avoid being attacked by the words of the literati and to avoid being criticized by the courtiers and the people, he had to treat the four queen mothers well no matter what.

On the surface, it was the Qin family who took the lead and forced the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom to kill his former queen (Nangong Moze's biological mother, the emperor's true love). But in fact? I guess other relatives and families were involved, but they did it more.

Being secretive and leaving no trace, the Qin family became a thorn in the emperor's heart and a thorn in his side.

Isn't it the first time you shoot someone with a gun?

The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom has worked hard for many years, and now he wants to uproot the entire Qin family.

In fact, the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom was a very capable and ambitious emperor. When he ascended the throne at the beginning of the year, his relatives interfered in politics, and the imperial power was suppressed by his relatives. In such a harsh environment, he was still able to develop the Southern Kingdom to be as strong as it is now, step by step, and finally finally

Holding real power, he has completely and completely controlled the imperial power of the Southern Kingdom until now, controlling most of the military power, and the political forces are also under the supervision of the Southern Emperor.

Note: This world has strong clan feudal forces and the characteristics of martial arts families! Therefore, Jianghu forces are also very important and have a place in the prince's fight for the heir.

The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom was adopted into the name of Empress Dugu (now the Empress Dowager Dugu) since she was a child, and she was nominally the legitimate mother. In fact, the Empress Dowager Dugu was a few years older than the emperor. The emperor was handsome in his youth, and the Empress Dowager Dugu was also young and beautiful. This mother and son

The age difference between the two was not big, and they had been together for a long time... As things went by, the secrets of the palace happened... The official history will not record these, but in reality, there were many people in the harem, the emperor had too many wives and concubines, and there were too many sons.

Things cannot be avoided, and monitoring cannot be so tight... While the emperor enjoys the favor of thousands of beauties in his harem, he is also the man with the greenest head...

Of course, in terms of the orthodoxy of the royal bloodline and the protection of the prince's life, the control is still very strong! Almost all ancient royal families have their own perfect set of secret techniques and methods for detecting royal bloodline.

The bloodline of the royal family is unmistakable. Which concubine did the emperor have in a certain year, month and day? The Internal Affairs Office has detailed records.

As for the many women in the harem, who occasionally stole a few times, had affairs, and other secrets of the palace, even if the emperor wanted to control them, he was really unable to control them... There are too many women, right?

In the harem, there are strict rules and regulations for the women in the harem! But those who have been lonely for too long... are hard to guard against!

There was an affair between the Queen Mother Dugu and the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, which was one of the important factors why the Queen Mother Dugu and the Dugu family supported the emperor's ascension to the throne.

Now, the emperor's wings have hardened and he no longer listens to the words of the Queen Mother Dugu. The Queen Mother Dugu originally wanted a girl from the Dugu family to marry the eldest prince Nangong Moze as the royal concubine. She promised the emperor the attitude of the Dugu family in marriage, but the emperor refused.

The daughter of the Dugu family could not get the position of the principal concubine, not even the position of the side concubine.

The main reason why the emperor arranged for the eldest prince Nangong Moze to appoint Gongsun Youlan as his concubine was not just because of Gongsun's family, nor to give Gongsun the empress dowager face, but to reuse a talented person, Gongsun Nanfeng. Gongsun Youlan was Gongsun Nan.

Feng's biological sister.

Therefore, Queen Mother Dugu has been making trouble with the emperor recently, using various methods and strange methods...

The emperor and the eldest prince, Nangong Moze, and his son finished their breakfast and chatted about government affairs for a while. Then, the emperor began to care about his son's backyard.

The relationship between the royal heir and his family is also a major matter, related to the court and the balance between the various forces.

The emperor rinsed his mouth with tea and said to his son: "Mo Ze, I heard that after your wedding, you still haven't consummated your marriage with your princess. What's the reason?"

Nangong Moze said calmly: "Returning to my father, my son and Gongsun Youlan didn't know each other and had no feelings at all. They were just married to each other to give them the face of Gongsun's family and Gongsun Youlan's status. That's all.

enough!"

The emperor persuaded, saying: "How can we be husband and wife in name only? Mo Ze, you should at least show some sincerity! Since you know that you are married to the Gongsun family, we have to use Gongsun Nanfeng to work for us, so naturally you should

Be kind to his biological sister!"

Nangong Moze said with a serious face: "Father, think about it? Since we need to reuse Gongsun Nanfeng and use the Gongsun family to deal with the Qin family, we can't suppress the Qin family and support another Gongsun? Like this

What a mistake! Now we need to use them and give them enough status on the surface! My future eldest son cannot come from the deep-rooted and intricate ancient families like ours in the South!"

The emperor pondered for a moment and said: "Ze'er, do you want to... kill the donkey?"

Nangong Moze said: "In this way, we can prevent new relatives from interfering in the government affairs and prevent the relatives from eroding the rights of our royal family."

The emperor nodded in agreement and said: "Ze'er is more thoughtful than my father! However, this... it is still necessary to consummate the marriage!"

Nangong Moze frowned and remained silent for a while...

The emperor sighed deeply and said: "You are my son, who are you thinking about? Of course I know it! But that little girl is still a little girl now... You are already in your twenties, so you can't keep doing this.

Wait? Mo Ze, my father can understand your feelings! After all, it was your mother who arranged the marriage for you! Besides, Mo Lan’s little girl is really well-behaved and cute. You can tell she is a beauty at a young age.

Dude, in my opinion, if nothing happens in the future, that girl will be as charming as your mother and queen. After all, your uncle Yan (Yan Linjun) and your mother and queen have been friends for generations and have had countless marriages.

The first time I saw that little girl, I found that the eyebrows and eyes of little Molan and my Ze'er were very similar. Ze'er's eyebrows were like your mother's.

Others are like me, father! In the future, when the overall situation has been decided, if you want to change your wife? Father, I have no objection! However, in the current situation, Ze'er, you still need to put the overall situation first!"

Nangong Moze said to the emperor: "Father! I know it! I know how to deal with things in the backyard! I also know how to make use of those clans and useful talents now! I will not do that to Gongsun Nanfeng in the future.

Let's get rid of the matter of killing the donkey. Now that Gongsun Nanfeng is working for us, in the future, his sons and ministers will naturally reward Gongsun Nanfeng for his meritorious service! The exchange of interests with the aristocratic family will also be put on the bright side! The rights and interests of our royal family

But it’s not up to the clan to control or dictate at all!”

The emperor was quite satisfied with his beloved son Nangong Moze! The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He smiled and said: "Father will always support Ze'er! There are some things that Ze'er cannot do for the sake of Ze'er's reputation! Let father

Come and do it!”

Nangong Moze said respectfully: "Thank you very much, father!"

The emperor looked at Nangong Moze with a fatherly look and said: "My father only has one son in his heart, Ze'er! My father will never be sorry for your mother..."

Nangong Moze said calmly: "My mother has passed away many years ago. Father, don't be sad about what happened in the past... Father, please take care of your dragon body now!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Don't worry, Ze'er! I won't fall until my father can help you clear those obstacles! Only after I avenge your mother can I have the face to see your mother. Back then, I was in front of your mother's body.
Chapter completed!
