Chapter 619: Confession
The emperor was silent for a moment, and then looked at Wei Wan with an uncertain expression:
"What does the queen mean?"
"Either the emperor will stop calling his concubines 'Cheng Huan' in the future, or he will decree that the princess of King Qin will change her name. ”
Wei Wan said solemnly, when the emperor looked at him with puzzled eyes, there was stubbornness in his eyes that would not back down.
The Emperor saw that she was serious.
But this name - there have always been subjects who avoid the emperor's name, and some who avoid the names of the sages and elders, but the queen's name has never been so particular, because the woman's name will no longer be called often after marriage.
It is impossible for him to call her name again, but at this time, he ordered Bai Chenghuan to change his name, which is not very tenable in principle.
The emperor could almost predict how much criticism he would attract if he asked Bai Chenghuan to change his name.
Besides, in his previous life, Cheng Huan had never cared about this kind of thing at all.
Seeing that the emperor hesitated, Wei Wan didn't say much, and retired with a cold expression.
The emperor did not follow her wishes in everything as he did these days, and then kept her.
Even looking at her disappearing figure outside the door, the emperor felt a little tired.
person, it seems that she is still the same person, everything she can remember is right, but the magnanimous, virtuous and intelligent Cheng Huan in her previous life is gone.
He has paid so much, borne countless infamy, and would rather bear the world, and finally got his wish - but he actually felt that it was not so satisfactory.
Such a feeling...... What went wrong?
The emperor's heart was soon known by Fang Handong.
In order to show the favor of the other party, the emperor has officially decreed that Fang Handong will replace Song Wenru as the prime minister until Song Wenru recovers.
Having said that, anyone with a discerning eye can see that now Song Wenru has had a stroke in bed, even if he takes care of it well, it will not be good for a year or two, and Fang Handong, the prime minister, is afraid that he will have to sit down all the time.
Fang Handong received such favor from the emperor, since he knew the emperor's heart, he naturally wanted to repay the favor.
Fang Handong quickly gave full play to his old profession of the Ministry of Rites, rummaged through the history books, and actually found an example for him of subjects wanting to avoid the queen's name, and happily mentioned it in the early dynasty, proving that the princess of King Qin should change her name!
"Han Gaozu Liu Bang Empress Lu Pheasant, in order to avoid her words, the subjects all do the word 'pheasant' when they meet 'pheasant', so since the princess of the Qin Dynasty is in conflict with the queen's name, she should avoid it!"
As soon as Fang Handong's words came out, the emperor's face was much better after being gloomy for several days, and he nodded again and again.
Fang Handong's nemesis, Zhao Shizhen, suddenly let out a sneer:
"Lord Fang is not confused, what are the two words of the queen's name?"
"Nature is a ...... of joy"
Zhao Shizhen cut it off: "But how do I remember that the queen's surname is Wei Mingwan?"
"That's right, Xu Chenghuan, the queen of Xiaoyuan, has been buried in the imperial mausoleum, how can she avoid it?" Wu Zhengmao, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, couldn't see Fang Handong's face the most, and he also refuted it.
"This ......"
Fang Handong looked at the emperor helplessly, but the emperor was also speechless.
Yes, if you want to avoid it, you have to have a basis for avoiding it!
When she was canonized as the queen, she did not use Cheng Huan's name anymore, but her current name.
Wu Zhengmao suppressed the anger in his heart and persuaded:
"The emperor has a clear understanding, the matter of the queen's resurrection has never happened since ancient times, it is a matter of evasion, and it cannot be discussed as a precedent, if you really want to let the princess of King Qin change her name, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"
Who knows, it's okay if Wu Zhengmao doesn't persuade him, but when he persuades the emperor, he is instantly annoyed:
"It's just a small name, why can't it be changed? I want to see how bold the Qin Wangfu is to dare to be disrespectful to the queen!"
The edict ordering the princess of the Qin Dynasty to change her name was sent by Liu Defu to the Qin Palace.
"Today, there is the princess of the Qin Dynasty, Bai, whose name 'Cheng Huan' should avoid the name of Empress Xiaoyuan, and the imperial decree was changed. ”
Liu Defu raised his head with his chest straight, and finished reading the emperor's dictation in a loud voice, before he lowered his shoulders and looked humbly at the princess of King Qin who knelt down to listen to the announcement:
"Princess, you have also understood the emperor's will...... It's just a name, hey, for the good of the palace, you are wronged!"
Bai Chenghuan knew about this from the time Wei Wan started to be a moth, and thought it was just a small trick by Wei Wan, but he didn't expect Wei Wan to be ambitious and want to bite back.
She stood up, straightened her skirt, and unceremoniously refused:
"Even if it's just a name, the princess of this world is not subject to this grievance, and she also bothers her father-in-law to go back to the palace to tell the emperor, this will, the princess of this world will not accept it. ”
"Princess, you ...... Are you going to resist?"
Liu Defu is in a hurry, why is this related to Weibei Houfu, one is harder than the other, and he wants to resist the decree?
Bai Chenghuan knew about this and couldn't complain about Liu Defu, but who made him Xiao Shaoyun's most trusted eunuch, who was embarrassed if he wasn't embarrassed?
She smiled slightly, her eyes full of arrogance:
"Gonggong Liu said that it was a protest decree, that is, a protest decree, you go back and tell the emperor that if you want the princess of this world to change her name, then first ask all the subjects in the world who have collided with Empress Xiaoyuan to change their names before they speak, otherwise, the princess of this world will never be oppressed for such no reason!"
Liu Defu looked at the woman in front of him who suddenly became unruly in a daze, and he was speechless - this is good, he is no longer wronged, he has become oppressed for no reason!
After Liu Defu left, Bai Chenghuan returned to the inner courtyard, and before the breath in his heart had subsided, Qiu Yue came in and said that Mr. Yuan and Fu Han asked to see each other.
Bai Chenghuan's stomach was full of anger and there was no place to spill it, so he snorted coldly and went to see them in the flower hall where he was discussing on weekdays.
When Bai Chenghuan walked in, Fu Han was mocking Mr. Yuan.
"Yuan Zhaoxian, aren't you capable? Aren't you attacking the heart? What about now? This little chess piece has been bullied on the master's head, why don't you attack the heart?"
Mr. Yuan didn't say a word in the face of Fu Han's embarrassment, and stood in place with his eyes squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.
It wasn't until Bai Chenghuan went in that he bowed down with Fu Han and greeted Bai Chenghuan.
Bai Chenghuan's tone was not good at all:
"Did you propose to find Wei Wan, or did His Royal Highness the Prince ask someone to find him himself?"
Ever since she knew from Zhan Shichun that Wei Wan was the person found by the Qin Palace, she had always had an indescribable disgust in her heart.
Mr. Yuan didn't know why the princess suddenly asked this, and replied honestly:
"It was his subordinates who suggested that the prince and His Royal Highness the prince find it. ”
When he said this, he immediately noticed that the anger in the princess's expression had gone a little.
"You are a person who is very good at grasping people's hearts, and it is not easy to find such a person. ”
Bai Chenghuan finally sighed, but his expression was still as deep as the bottom of the sea, and Mr. Yuan couldn't hear whether this was a compliment or a mockery.
I only heard Bai Chenghuan ask again:
"Now that Wei Wan's matter has come to this point, I don't know what Mr. Yuan thinks?"
