Chapter 533 Fighting for the title
Duke Enguo told the queen in the letter that if he failed to kill Nanny An, he would ask the queen to find someone to shut up Nanny An.He could ask the Zhao family and his wife to talk to him in secret. If he added Aunt An, he would be afraid of arousing suspicion, so he gave it to the queen.
Nanny An was in Yun Shang's hands, and Yun Shang would give her medicine and send her to the mine. This Nanny followed the Zhao couple and did many evil things.
Finally, Duke Enguo also mentioned what happened back then.
When she saw this, a flash of pain flashed through the Queen's heart, and she still couldn't forget it even after so many years.She could never forget the death of her sister and her child.
But the other party hid it too deeply, and she has not been able to track down the murderer for so many years.
The letter said that he had tried many times and the person who poisoned her was probably not the Zhao family.
The queen's eyes narrowed. She was suspicious of the Zhao family, but the suspicion was relatively small. Concubine Zhao happened to be pregnant at that time, and if she gave birth to a prince, it would be a competitive relationship.
However, the status of the Zhao family at that time was far less than it is now, and it was not stable in the court. I am afraid that the Zhao family was still thinking of relying on the Duke's government at that time, and wanted to compete for the merit of serving the dragon.
The Zhao family probably hoped that her child would become a prince, so there was no need to poison him.
What Duke Enguo said in the letter also confirmed her speculation.
Finally, Duke Enguo explained some other trivial matters. After the queen read all the letters, she sighed, "Brother has been burdened with too much these years."
She just felt that her brother had changed, but she didn't know why.
It turned out that he was still the brother in his memory who smiled and silently protected their sisters.
Yun Shang also felt a little emotional in her heart. It was really difficult to choose between the position and status of Duke Enguo.
"What are you going to do, Queen Mother?"
The queen closed her eyes and thought for a while, and when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were very determined, "It is understandable that the eldest brother killed the Zhao family. Originally, I planned to ask the emperor to pass the title to the prince.
now--
Chang Shang, the queen mother wants the emperor to take back the title of the Duke of Guo. "
The title of the Duke's Mansion was obtained by the ancestors. Normally, it can be passed down to two more generations. After meritorious services are made, the rewards can be continued.
Only with the title of nobility can the Duke's Mansion continue to be prosperous.
However, Duke Enguo was of the Zhao family's blood after all, and his heirs could not be allowed to inherit the title.There is also a second brother in the house. The queen does not like this second brother. He is a little clever, but he cannot be on the stage.
The transfer of the title to him will only cause the Duke's mansion to decline faster.
After learning these truths, the queen felt that the Duke's Palace could no longer afford the title, and that the title was a burden to them.
It's better to take back the title, bide your time and start from scratch, which will also put the next generation of the Duke's house in some danger. They can study hard and make a name for themselves by their own abilities.
Yun Shang nodded, "The Queen Mother's decision is right."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of the queen's lips, and she knew that Yun Shang would understand.
After all, the Duke's Mansion is her natal family, Xiao Che's maternal family.Having this title is beneficial to them.Now that the Zhao family is gone, the government's reorganization can be a help to them.
But for the long-term plan of the Duke's government, it would be better to seize the title.
The queen wanted Xiao Che to become the prince. After all, the prince's position was originally his.
Others might not be able to understand her and feel that she has no plans for her son, but Yun Shang can understand.
Hey, I just don’t know when my son will come back, so I can work hard to get the little girl to like him as soon as possible.
Yun Shang chatted with the queen for a while. She had been in the palace for a long time, so she got up and left.Before she left, the queen stopped her, sighed, and gave her another warning.
"Shang Shang, my sister-in-law is not bad. You can persuade her on behalf of your mother."
Judging from the current situation, the Enguo Guild was inherited by Hao's eldest son, and the queen would probably be resented if she allowed the emperor to seize the title.
The queen wanted Xiao Che to win over the Hao family and did not want to be misunderstood by the Hao family.
What she meant was to ask Yunshang to tell Mr. Hao the truth.
*
Yun Shang went to Duke Guo's Mansion the next day. Ever since Duke En Guo killed the two couples of the Zhao family and left evidence for the Zhao family to be executed, the Duke En Guo's Mansion has been completely deserted.There were not many people who came to express condolences, and most of them were loyal and loyal people in the court.
Yun Shang came here two days ago, but now that Duke Enguo has been buried, the house is even more deserted.
The mourning hall built by the Duke of Guo in the courtyard has been evacuated impatiently, and even the elegiac couplets have been torn off. From the outside, it is impossible to tell that anyone has died in the Palace of the Duke of Guo.
"Princess, please come this way."
Yun Shang decided to see Mr. Hao first and asked her servants to take her there directly.
"Sister-in-law, no matter what, the Zhao family is our in-laws. If something happens over there, the Duke's Palace will be implicated. Why don't you try to persuade the eldest brother? And the poor fifth aunt, grandma, will be beheaded. My mother was reduced to tears."
As soon as Yun Shang walked to the door of Hao's courtyard, she heard a mean voice coming from inside.
She thought for a while and stood still at the door, wanting to hear what else was coming from inside.
"Sister-in-law, it is indeed my eldest brother's fault this time. The emperor has not agreed to inherit the title until now, for fear of venting his anger on my eldest brother."
The voice that spoke this time was a man's, presumably Zhou Jinkang, the second eldest son of the Zhou family.
This time Yun Shang understood why these two people were here. The Zhao family gave birth to two sons in total, and the eldest son inherited the title of Duke.Now that Mr. Enguo is gone, his son should inherit.
But Duke Enguo killed someone, and now some people couldn't sit still.
The Zhao family is probably still blaming their son for harming his parents' family and will not side with Duke En Guo. Zhou Jinkang will have a chance.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Yun Shang's lips. She wondered how the nominal second uncle would feel after learning that the queen had decided to propose to the emperor to seize the title.
His brother had just died. Even though he killed someone, he also exposed the Zhao family.Outsiders can criticize and misunderstand, but as his younger brother, shouldn't he stand on his brother's side at this time?
There was a funeral, but even before it was over, people came over anxiously to snatch the title.
No wonder the queen would rather let the emperor take back the title than let this younger brother inherit it.
"Second brother, Aye will not inherit the title of Duke. He will take the initiative to give up the title."
Hao's voice was calm, as if he had already thought about it.
A hint of joy flashed in Zhou Jinkang's eyes. He brought Mrs. Liu here today just to let the eldest family give up his title. He didn't expect it to be so easy.
Mrs. Liu also had a happy face, "Sister-in-law, if we don't talk to each other as a family, I'll tell you straight, will Dafang really give up this title?"
The Hao family and the Liu family had always been at odds with each other because they had helped their parents' family lose their right to run the family. Later I found out that it was the Liu family who filed the complaint.She was very proud after taking over Zhongfang from Mrs. Liu and often showed off her power in front of her. She looked down upon Mr. Liu very much.
My husband had just been buried, and these two people couldn't wait to come over, and they looked down on him even more.
