Chapter 1729: Eldest Son

"The ambitions of the Min King are flourishing, he will be the first person to go to war with the dynasty. I estimate that he wants to be the first one to conquer the dynasty, claim the imperial seal, and establish himself as the emperor," Cui Mo said.
Ge Zhaoyuan sat opposite Cui Mo and said, "Although the Dynasty is showing signs of turmoil, even a dead elephant has its weight. No matter how strong Minguo is, in order to conquer the Dynasty, they would have to shed some blood. Luguo and Suguo clearly want Minguo and the Dynasty to fight first, and then reap the benefits without haste in taking over Yuguo and Xiaguo."
Xiao Jin glanced through the document, which contained recent news from the Kingdom of Min.
The current King of Min ascended the throne two years ago at the age of eighteen. He is an ambitious but impulsive young man. Since the previous King of Min passed away two years ago, the current king has appointed only his close associates to positions of power in the royal court.
Loyalty is unquestionable, but ability is uncertain.
The secret guard once found something about a favored concubine beside King Min. It seems she is from a potential kingdom hidden beside King Min.
Xiao Jin asked about the deployment of Min's military forces, and then asked, "Has there been any news of sending gifts to the envoy of the Imperial Dynasty?"
Although expelled from the Imperial Dynasty by the Emperor, Xiao Jin still adheres to the etiquette and sends gifts to the Imperial Palace on major holidays.
Emperor has been bedridden for a long time, so Xiao Jin asked Mi Yue to prepare some medicine for the Emperor.
However, every time the medicine was sent to the Emperor, it was intercepted and thrown away before it could reach the imperial palace.
Previously, people were afraid that Xiao Jin would poison the medicine. Now that Mi Yue has become famous, there are some individuals in the dynasty who do not want the Emperor to recover or even live. They refuse to accept the medicine sent by Xiao Jin, and they silently avoid mentioning Mi Yue's role in treating the Emperor's illness.
The Minister of Rites replied, "Since the Crown Prince intercepted it, it should be a reflection of the Empress Dowager's intention..."
"I think it's the Crown Prince's own intention," the Minister of Rites coldly remarked.
The crown prince has finally ascended to the throne, how could he allow the crown grandchild to have a chance to show his presence in front of the empress? What if the empress gets older, has a change of temperament, and starts to value blood ties and kinship again? If Xiao Hui returns to the dynasty, should he give up his position as the crown prince?
The courtiers all showed anger and resentment, especially the old courtiers who had come from the imperial dynasty. Although Yu Nation had developed well in recent years, they still felt heartbroken over the expulsion of Xiao Hui, the rightful heir to the imperial dynasty. If things had gone according to rightful, Xiao Hui would have been the crown prince of the imperial dynasty, and the current dynasty would not be in such turmoil.
Xiao Jin frowned slightly. He knew the queen's intentions and had been keeping an eye on the situation of the dynasty.
The queen never openly discussed political affairs, but she was the one who instigated the internal conflicts within the dynasty, like a sharp knife inserted into the decaying dynasty, causing it to collapse rapidly.
He thought that the queen incited the princes to fight each other out of revenge for her son, causing the emperor to experience the pain of losing a child. However, based on the information he obtained and from the actions of the country's uncle, the Duke of Anguo, it was not just that.
The queen and the national uncle seem to be plotting a bigger game.
But what is this game?
Xiao Jin's eyes fell on the memorial about the changes in various places in the imperial court, sinking into contemplation.
Only for a moment, the mischief of the child in his left hand caught Xiao Jin's attention.
This is their eldest son with Mi Yue.
Originally, the two of them did not plan to have a child so early, but they accidentally got pregnant and gave birth.
Their eldest son is named Xiao Can, just turned one year old.
在带孩子上面,萧溍的经验比宓月丰富得多了,故而孩子生下来后,多是萧溍在带着。
加上这三年间,王宫几乎没进过宫奴,人手也不够,萧溍便时常把长子带在身边,像今日这样带来处理国事是常见的事。
