Chapter 142: The King Captures and Discusses the New Emperor
Qianhua slowly sat up straight, looked at the woman in red in front of her, closed her eyes, and didn't say a word.
……
"None of these questions make sense. Looking at Qianhua's eyes, Luan Ge didn't flinch at all, and looked directly at her and said, "I have already said that I will leave after this matter, and I will not interfere in the affairs of Chu State again." So Li De is not ****, but I am willing to keep my promise, and please don't let me down. ”
After that, Luan Ge didn't look at Qianhua anymore, took a few steps forward and walked towards King Heng, and said, "His Royal Highness King Heng, you have stolen the throne for many years, and now at this time, is it time to return it?"
In the discussion of everyone, the idea of setting up a new emperor has been mentioned, so when Luan Ge said this, everyone didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and even felt that someone dared to say what they thought out loud, like drowsiness and sending a pillow, and weighing it to their hearts.
"Stealing the throne?!Joke! The prince will have a kind of Xiangning! This son has always been the incompetent, he Chu Huaiyuan is incompetent, how can he blame me for replacing him?! Besides, you want to support the new emperor? Who is she??" King Heng suddenly pointed to Qianhua on the side, as if he was telling some joke:
"Let her be the empress of a foreign-married woman, but don't forget, the current Chu Qianhua is the princess of the Qi State, do you want to give my Great Chu country to the Qi State?"
"So many princes are not ornaments......," someone muttered quietly.
When King Heng heard this, he smiled even more cheerfully: "Prince?!Hahahahaha! Now the princes and princesses in the palace, except for Chu Qianhua, are the daughters of Chu Huaiyuan. Which of the rest is not my own child?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Yes, even if a new emperor is established, the people to choose are all the children of King Heng. Emperor Shengzhao has only one brother, and there are no suitable descendants in the clan, so in the end, he took the throne of Lao Tzu and handed it to his son, making such a big fuss. Not only will it not attract people's joy, but it may also be tabooed by the new emperor......
No matter how you look at it, it's a flattering thing.
"Jade can't be cut into a weapon. A person's character is cultivated in the day after tomorrow, and how can the emperor's uncle believe that the new emperor has the same heart as you? There are still long and short points of the five fingers of a person, not to mention the relationship between father and son. ”
Qianhua, who had not spoken, smiled and stepped forward. Standing in front of Luan Ge, staring straight at King Heng.
"Besides, did my father guess it? Whether you are worthy of being this emperor or not, some historians comment, but I don't know when you, a person who doesn't even care about flesh and blood, will also have the qualifications to comment?!"
"You!" King Heng was angry, pointing at Qianhua to scold, but was stopped by Qianhua's higher voice: "My lords, this palace is a foreign woman, but it is the only bloodline of Emperor Shengzhao, so this palace supports Chu Yunyan, the fifth prince, as the new emperor." Do you have any objections?"
Luan Ge didn't expect Qianhua to take the initiative to stand up, nor did she expect her to say such things so readily. But in the end, she knew that her words had an effect on her, so the corners of her lips couldn't help curling.
At this time, King Heng was already furious, and he was about to slash towards Qianhua with the sword on his waist, but when he saw Zhu Yun's sharp eyes, he took the lead in knocking the sword scabbard in his hand on King Heng's mouth, and caught him at the moment when the long sword fell.
"Let go of me, Zhu Yun, you thief! You ...... Hmm I don't know what Zhu Yun did, and King Heng, who was still clamoring, was left with only a voice.
Everyone's hearts trembled, is this going to do it?
"Princess...... But these five princes are the biological ...... of His Royal Highness King Heng," someone kindly reminded.
"This is naturally known to Hongu. Qianhua nodded, and then continued:
"But as Uncle Huang said before, which of these princes and princesses is not his own child? Although there is a precedent for empresses in the Chu State, it was because Gaozu had no children that Emperor Yuan was enthroned, and now that there are men in the clan, it is natural to consider it among the princes.
"The second prince died early, although the fourth prince is generous, and he is now the first choice of the so-called chief, but he is not clever enough to take on the big task, maybe he is a loyal minister and a good general, but he is not a temporary candidate, and it is easy to be manipulated; the seventh prince is young, arrogant and untamable, and has been pampered by Concubine Zhen for many years, and it is even more difficult to take responsibility, and the new emperor is young, if he has a mother's family, he is afraid of giving birth to a threatened relative; so in contrast, whether it is from the conduct or from the family background, the five princes who are humble and polite, and whose mother is just a little palace maid, are the best candidates. ”
When Qianhua said this, he paused, looked at Wanqing, the secretary of the military department in the crowd, and said with a smile: "Lord Wan, do you say yes or no?"
Wan Qing couldn't help but be shocked.
Ever since he realized that something was wrong, he had never spoken, secretly observing the reactions of all parties, and he didn't want to be pointed out by the eldest princess at this time, the only reason was that the mother of the seventh prince, Concubine Zhen, was his daughter of Wanqing. In order to show that he has no dictatorship from his relatives, he can only respond to Qianhua, but in this way, it means that the Seven Princes, who were still a little probable, will completely miss the throne!
If it was before, Wan Qing would definitely hide his edge without hesitation and refuse, but at this time, thinking of the forces in his hands, he decided to give it a go.
"Her Royal Highness the princess said this too absolutely, Wei Chen has always been loyal to His Majesty, how could he have the idea of autocratic power because he is a relative? Moreover, the seventh prince has a pure temperament, but he is young and naïve, and he is used by uneducated people, so he has a notorious reputation of arrogance and untamedness, and the minister really does not dare to agree. ”
"Oh? Lord Wan means that this palace has eyes and does not know the pearl, and even deliberately slandered the seventh cousin? But there is something in this palace that I want to sue Lord Sù Wan, your so-called uneducated person is now being raised by the queen's mother, do you think that the palace raised by the queen's mother is also an uneducated person?" Qianhua saw through Wan Qing's mind at a glance, and couldn't help sneering.
"The five princes are raised by the queen's mother?" Not only Wan Qing, but everyone except Luan Ge and Qianhua were surprised, this is something they have never heard of!
"This palace has just said something wrong, it's not the prince, it's the prince - the son of the emperor's uncle, how can he be called the prince?" Qianhua looked at Wan Qing and sneered, reminding him that he also reminded everyone that these so-called princes are just descendants of the Chu clan, not the biological bloodline of Emperor Shengzhao!
"The fifth son-the queen mother remembered the early death of his mother's concubine, and she had already given birth to the idea of raising him by her side, but because it was taboo for outsiders to say that the queen had no children and wanted to take power for this selfishness, she quietly raised her fifth cousin, but she kept it from everyone. Otherwise, what do you think, why did the palace make friends with the two people of the Yongluan Palace when it was still in the boudoir?" Qianhua's face did not change and his heart did not skip a beat.
Now even Luan Ge couldn't help but admire her.
Yun Yan was raised by the queen's mother, but it was only after Qianhua got married, and now when she says this, it seems that she has had the queen's blue eyes since she was a child.
Wan Qing's face turned pale, but he still spoke: "The queen mother is nowhere to be found now, so naturally the princess has the final say." ”
The implication is that I don't believe Qianhua's words.
Qianhua's face was cold, this Wanqing, she really didn't shed tears when she didn't see the coffin, compared to the seventh prince who had such an ancestor, she now wanted Yun Yan to be the emperor, not only to let Luan Ge leave the Chu State, but also out of the comparison of pros and cons.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard a somewhat threatening voice from the door: "This palace has been here for so long, how can it be regarded as missing?" )
