Chapter 444, enter the East Palace
The queen only has two sons, and now the first son is hopeless to succeed to the throne, if the emperor dislikes the second son again, I am afraid that it will cheapen others.
So listening to the emperor's words, he obviously has let go of the mustard in his heart. The heart that the queen has been carrying these days has finally let go.
"Yang'er is kind by nature, although he is angry and doesn't think about his siblings, he still can't bear it after all, and he sees his head in a different place. ”
When the emperor heard the queen's words, he also nodded in agreement.
"Chi'er is confused, acting too aggressively, and it is difficult to make a big deal. I want Yang'er to inherit the crown prince's throne, does the queen think it's good?"
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the ancestral system. But the emperor and the queen are young couples, so they are naturally different from those concubines in the harem.
"For his own selfishness, Chi'er does not think of brotherhood, abandons the people to live and die, and has long lost the will of the king. The emperor is the foundation of everything in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he should naturally choose a virtuous person to succeed him. ”
The emperor is not only the two sons of King Gu and King Han, the queen understands that even if the emperor loves her, she dares to violate the ancestral system. Not to mention that a son who is not his own does not make such a statement.
"The queen is virtuous, and it is my blessing. ”
"The emperor's heart is the world, which is the blessing of the people. It is the blessing of the concubines to be able to serve the emperor. ”
The emperor was very satisfied with the queen's answer, even if he had decided to make the king of Han the crown prince, he did not want the queen to only care about his son. He did not mince words about King Zhao and other princes.
The emperor rested in the middle palace that night, and issued an order the next day. The king of the valley entered his body because of the evil wind, and he was delirious and bewitched by the villain, so he acted biasedly.
He deprived himself of the throne and was demoted to the king of Xiansi County, taking Xiansi and introspection, hoping that he could reform himself. and ordered the people of the Mansion to be all claustrophobic in the palace of Jingzhong County.
And the royal family stepped forward to distribute a pension of silver taels to appease the people of the South China Sea and the northern border.
The emperor's son, even if he killed someone, was only demoted and imprisoned in the end. And those who died can only consider themselves unlucky.
Fortunately, for the sake of royal face, the emperor also gave a certain amount of compensation. After Lu Ruxue heard about it, she couldn't even eat. It's not worth it for those who died.
But it is also known that she is powerless to turn things around on her own.
As the dust settled on the matter of the king of the valley, the emperor finally issued an order to crown the king of Han as the crown prince and enter the East Palace. Lu Ruxue was also named the crown princess, and Liting'er was the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the family moved into the East Palace.
Not only that, the emperor took Beiping as the place of rejuvenation, first changed Beiping Mansion to Shuntian Mansion, and then planned to edict Beiping as Beijing, and planned to move the capital here.
Many courtiers objected, believing that Beiping was close to the Huzhu Pass, and setting up the capital in a dangerous place would make the court turbulent and helpless in everything.
But the emperor is still haunted by the fact that he ignored the edict of his ancestors and established himself as emperor. Unwilling to stay in the palace of Ying Tianjingshi, he stayed by the side of the filial piety tomb every day. Therefore, despite the opposition of the courtiers, he insisted on moving the capital.
Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Chen Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Peace, were ordered to recruit millions of craftsmen and people to officially build a palace in Beijing.
And gave the daughter of Pingjiang Bo Chen Xuan, as the prince's side concubine, and immediately married to the prince's East Palace.
And on the grounds that the crown princess suffered from soul disorder, he ordered the queen to issue a decree, and Concubine Yu and Concubine Chen, who had just entered the palace, were in charge of the affairs of the East Palace.
Although the emperor appointed his second son as the crown prince, he was still annoyed with him in the end, first for a woman, and almost missed the fighter. Later, for the sake of this woman, he was forced to condemn himself to the eldest son.
In the emperor's eyes, women are just dispensable playthings, how can they compare to the heirs of the bloodline.
Mu Xuanyang wanted to write a book to intercede for his wife because of this. was dissuaded by Lu Ruxue.
One is that she really can't remember the past, and it is really reluctant to let her take charge of the East Palace.
The second is that she thinks that she may leave this body at any time. Rather than letting the prince be sandwiched between the emperor and her, it is better to obey the emperor's wishes, so as not to make the emperor dissatisfied with the prince.
Concubine Yu has been looking forward to it for so long, seeing that the emperor is dissatisfied with the crown princess, and the crown princess is about to lose power, her opportunity has come. But I didn't want to have another Concubine Chen to share her favor. But at present, the crown princess is still a big problem for her.
Before Concubine Chen entered the palace, her father had many admonitions, asking her to respect the crown princess. The crown princess saved the prince's life several times, and even helped the queen defend the city and made military achievements. It's just that this life-saving grace and the righteousness of helping each other are incomparable to their Chen Mansion no matter what.
But no matter how much Concubine Chen listens to her father's words, she is a woman after all. And since she entered the palace, the prince has never even come to accompany her at night in the cave. thinks that the crown princess is the only pet of the special room, and the dissatisfaction with the princess in my heart is no less than that of Concubine Yu.
However, what she hid was deeper than Concubine Yu. Every day, according to the hour, I went to say hello to the crown princess.
The queen was afraid that the crown princess would be dissatisfied with the emperor's will, so when the crown princess came to ask for peace for three days in a row, she made many suggestions.
"The mother is too worried. "Don't say that this is what the emperor means, that is, what the queen means, Lu Ruxue will not resist the decree. She doesn't have any nostalgia for this position.
"Although the old injury of the daughter-in-law is good, the body is suffering a lot of loss, and it is just this time to take advantage of this time to recuperate her body. ”
"The East Palace is troublesome, and the daughter-in-law is also powerless, but now the father and the queen mother are compassionate, but they have tired Concubine Yu and Concubine Chen, so they have to worry a lot. ”
Seeing that the crown princess was still as sensible and reasonable as before, the queen breathed a sigh of relief. The prince's love for the crown princess is as deep as the sea, and everyone in the country knows it.
The emperor was afraid that the crown princess would mislead the country, so he had this will, and it was also for the good of the prince.
Fortunately, Mu Xuanyang listened to persuasion, as long as it was his wife, he would listen to it, this is what he owes his wife.
After losing her memory, Lu Ruxue is very unaccustomed to life in the palace. Every day when I look up is the sky of the four directions, except for going to the queen to say goodbye, most of the time, I can only stay in my bedroom to read.
And she doesn't like to socialize, and she is tired of the intrigue between the concubines in the palace. However, she hated sitting even more, and waited for Mu Xuanyang to return to the palace.
When he was bored, he pulled his son every day to relieve his boredom by his side.
"Picking cotton, I asked you if you would like to enter the palace with me. Naturally, it is not easy for you to serve the Lord faithfully. But the days in this palace are really boring. If you want to leave, I'll do it for you. ”
Seeing the princess asking, a few people who picked cotton hurriedly knelt down and replied, "The slave and maid thank the princess for her grace." ”
"But there are crises everywhere in this palace, step by step, how can there be fewer faithful people around the crown princess. ”
"The slaves and maids and the pickers were originally orphans. can serve the crown princess, that is the creation of slaves and maids. The slaves and maids did not want to leave the palace, but only wanted to serve the princess for the rest of their lives. ”
This is also from a sincere heart, but it also has a sense of flattery. How could Lu Ruxue let these people accompany him for a lifetime.
