Chapter 6: Succession to the throne and reign as emperor

6

The eunuch's shrill voice echoed in the palace for a long time. The Queen Mother of the Palace of Recuperation knew about this and fainted on the spot, and the imperial doctor was busy rescuing.

Father-in-law Ren was the head of the inner house, the queen mother fell ill, the throne was vacant, and the situation was very serious at this time, so he immediately went to the Sujin palace to report the matter and asked him to come out to preside over the overall situation.

In the imperial court, hundreds of officials were in chaos.

For the future, everyone is very panicked, the emperor has died, and there is no heir under his knees, at this time, it seems that the person who will take over the throne should be the emperor's eldest son Xue Qingqiu.

Hundreds of officials presided over the funeral on the one hand, and on the other hand, they asked the king of Su Jin to be the master, and welcomed the king back to the dynasty.

In the affairs of the court, he has always been in charge, but the Queen Mother is still there, and she has to ask her what she means.

After the queen mother woke up, the hundred officials who heard it wanted to respect the king, and suddenly lost all their elegance and scolded, "These conscienceless eight lambs, the emperor's bones are not cold, they are thinking about finding a home for themselves, King Sujin." ā€

Xue Dingshan said respectfully: "The minister is here, and the Queen Mother has something to say." ā€

"The mourning family, please don't allow you to establish the emperor's eldest son no matter what."

Xue Dingshan was puzzled: "But the Queen Mother, according to the rules of the ancestors, establish a successor and a long ......" He thought the Queen Mother would understand.

The Queen Mother snorted, "Didn't you say it, stand up for the long term." Xue Dingshan felt that the Queen Mother's gaze was like a knife scraping over his old face, and the Queen Mother was referring to him?

He hurriedly knelt down and said, "The old minister has no such intention. ā€

"King Sujin, don't misunderstand the mourning family, the mourning family has never felt that you have any improper thoughts, but when it comes to establishing a concubine, you are the younger brother of the former emperor, but the position of this concubine is also true. If you don't want to, then the prince can do it, you and the emperor are brothers, the mourning family and the princess are sisters, and the prince and the emperor are like brothers. ā€

She can't tolerate Xue Qingqiu entering Beijing, the son of that evil woman, if she wants to be the Ninth Five-Year Honor, it depends on whether she agrees or not. If King Jing is allowed to succeed to the throne, will there be her days in the future? The Queen Mother vaguely told Xue Dingshan of this meaning.

Xue Dingshan was determined to make up his mind for a while, and the Queen Mother did not force him. only said: "The obituary that wants to come to the court will go down soon, and King Gong will receive the news, and he is afraid that he will rush here non-stop!" You must guard the capital well, and don't let him lead troops into the capital. ā€

Xue Dingshan said: "Okay, the Queen Mother can rest assured." ā€

After Xue Dingshan left, the Queen Mother sent someone to the Splendid Palace, announced the Queen Mother's decree, and asked Xu Guifei to prepare so that she could accompany the Emperor on the road.

The white silk, neatly stacked in the vermilion tray, was very dazzling. Xu Shutong said: "The concubine thanked the Queen Mother for her love. ā€

She couldn't get out anymore.

Xu Shutong slowly walked towards the white silk, picked it up, and threw it on the hanging beam, the white silk passed through the hanging beam, she took the stool, went up to tie a knot, and wanted to hang herself firmly on it.

At this time, Cun Xi came in from outside, and saw Xu Shutong about to hang himself on the white silk, and hurriedly shouted: "Niangniang! ā€

Xu Shutong looked at her with a smile in his eyes. "It's a pity, all the time, thank you, there are still some gold and silver jewelry in this palace, which are all rewarded by the emperor, and this palace is useless, so I will leave it to you!" As she spoke, she was about to hang her neck.

Cun Xi went to hug her calves, "Niangniang, you slow down, the slave has something to say, the slave has a holy decree given by the emperor, and the emperor said that he wants you to live well." ā€

She hurriedly took it and handed it to the eunuch who had come to oversee it. "Report to the Queen Mother."

The eunuch held the holy decree in his hand, did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly reported it.

In the Yangxi Palace, there are hundreds of civil and military officials kneeling below. asked the Queen Mother to abolish Concubine Xu, it was because of her that the emperor died young. The Queen Mother closed her eyes and waited for the result in the splendid palace.

But I heard the girl report in her ear that the bright yellow holy decree had already been handed in, and the queen mother saw it, her face changed greatly, and she slapped it on the coffee table next to her.

"This adulterous concubine has already asked for a holy decree of pardon from the emperor, and even the mourning family has moved her, so she has to spare her life, but if something goes wrong in the future, the mourning family will not be spared."

The officials looked at each other, dumbfounded.

It seems that this adulterous concubine can't be abolished, and she can't be expelled from the palace, so there will be no benefit to them. How understood the officials, they immediately changed the direction of the wind and asked the queen mother, the candidate for the new emperor.

The Queen Mother looked at everyone with a smile and asked, "What do the Qing family think?" ā€

There has long been a statement that the official has come out to play, "If you go back to the queen mother, according to the legal code of our dynasty, you will establish a successor, and now the emperor has no heirs, and he can only choose from his brothers." ā€

The Queen Mother said: "What you said is true, dare to ask Lord Xu, which one do you think is more suitable?" ā€

Xu Yanguan said: "Among the emperor's brothers, there is also the eldest son of the emperor, and the meaning of Weichen is to make the eldest son of the emperor the new emperor." Xu Yanguan said very sincerely, but was spit on by the Queen Mother.

"Aiqing knows that the most taboo thing in the court is that the central government has collusion with the vassal king, and today Aiqing is to respect the king, isn't it colluding with him, so he will speak for him?" The queen mother did not allow the officials to distinguish, so she had already let people drag them out and beat them hard.

If there are people who want to build yƬ at the bottom, they will immediately shut up. They all looked at the Queen Mother, waiting for her to explain.

Since the Queen Mother doesn't want to be the eldest son of the emperor, who is this candidate?

"There are no other sons in law among the emperor's peers, but King Sujin is the brother of the former emperor, even if he is long, he should be the king of Sujin."

Since it is the king of Su Jin, the hundred officials suddenly realized. This King Su Jin is the emperor's own uncle, he is in a high position, and he has a lot of troops in his hands, and everyone doesn't want to die, so he obediently shut up.

The candle also seemed to bow down and said: "The Queen Mother is wise." ā€

King Su Jin became the new emperor, which made Xue Qingqiu, the respectful king who had just arrived at the gate of the capital, almost spit blood and scolded: "This old horseman. ā€

If you don't feel happy in your heart, you won't be happy, but King Su Jin is older than him, and he has heavy troops in his hands, so with his current level, he really doesn't want to fight with others.

What to do?

King Su Jin is not young anymore, do you want to wait patiently, wait for this old horseman to die, and then raise an army?

But three days later, there was a new change in the imperial court. King Sujin decreed that he would be promoted to the crown prince, and he abdicated to become the emperor.

King Su Jin has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't have time to be the emperor, so this top priority actually fell on Xue Yinong.

As soon as he became the crown prince, he immediately became the emperor, and at this speed, he was about to catch up with an aircraft carrier.

Xue Yinong was stunned, but Concubine He was sad. When I came to my daughter's house, I sat there for a long time, wringed a handkerchief for a long time, and my face was very solemn.

"Inno."

"Mother, you say."

"Hey! The queen mother is sorry for you, what can you do in the future, if your father knows that you are a woman, or someone else finds out your identity, won't the world be in chaos, or the queen mother will give your father a concubine! "She's old and can't give birth, but a young girl can always be, although the king of Su Jin is a little more than sixty, but the military general is in good shape, and now he is still very tough, and the old couple can sometimes be several times a night, it should be no problem reads;.

This is also a way to do it, just wait for the concubine to give birth to a son and give him the position, and then Yinong will be safe.

Xue Yinong knew what Concubine He meant, but if she did this, it would inevitably be troublesome, and once her identity was revealed. It is difficult to say whether Concubine He and Xue Dingshan can be safe and sound, after all, the most taboo thing in the relationship is 'deception', and she will not ruin the relationship between husband and wife for her sake.

Moreover, Concubine Guanhe's face was also reluctant, otherwise she would have been able to take a concubine for Xue Dingshan back then, why bother to come to this drama where a woman dresses up as a man.

"The queen mother is too worried, why take a concubine, the first thing you do is to arouse the suspicion of your father, according to my will, it is better to keep quiet, this matter is already like this, let it be wrong. What's more, I also have a younger sister, I don't have children, shouldn't my sister have any? When the time comes, it will be the same to pass the child into my name. ā€

Concubine He thought about it, but said with great emotion: "It's just difficult for you." "She doesn't know what her daughter is suffering. Her face showed a slight bitterness, and it was because of her that it was difficult to ride a tiger now.

"I'm not embarrassed."

"Then if you have someone you like, remember to tell the queen mother, the queen mother will definitely make decisions for you, it's a big deal, abdicate and let the virtuous be." Concubine He said very sincerely, and Xue Yinong nodded slightly.

She doesn't think that she will like others, after all, liking is a luxury, and there are few people in this world who are immersed in the happiness of love. In modern times, she's just a bachelor.

However, within a few days, the new emperor was selected. The road was far away, almost following the emperor's obituary, and after the vassal kings got the news, they rushed to the capital.

Xue Yinong sat on the throne, except for her biological parents, as well as the Queen Mother, everyone in the court knelt down to her and shouted long live. She sat on the dragon chair and felt that her back was slightly cold, the so-called: the height is not cold.

"Let's get flat!"

"Thank you."

Xue Yinong got up to meet his parents and the Queen Mother, and then took a seat. First arranged Xue Qingyi's funeral, and then issued a holy decree to people, "The imperial brother passed away, this matter after the election, I had to stop, I am very sorry, let the women have hope, empty return, all those who participate in the selection, the road is far away to distribute the travel expenses, and the road is close to also have small gifts to give......"

The Queen Mother sat down behind the dragon chair, separated by a bead curtain, watching Xue Yinong sit in the court, seeing that she was not acting badly, she was relieved in her heart, she was worried that she was young and couldn't suppress these old fritters in the court, but now she came over.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Xue Yinong specially mourned for Xue Qingyi, and he was benevolent and righteous. Whether it's true or not, make a look at it.

The vassal kings from all over the country came one after another, and some brought their daughters.

Xue Yinong met them one by one, the harem matter, she thought about it, or handed it over to Xu Shutong to manage, the queen mother is old, and the pain of losing a child, it is not appropriate to work too hard.

In the harem, a holy decree was moved down, allowing women of the right age to marry out of the palace, and women who had not received grace to leave the palace, and a small half of the women in the palace came out.

Those who have had grace and nothing have come out, those who want to leave have been given arrangements and a way out, and those who want to stay have also been demarcated with a place to live.

Some people refuse to die in the palace, and they will get a holy decree, and they will pay a lot of money, so they will naturally go outside to live. There are also those who refuse to leave, after all, the emperor also has it, and new expectations can start again.
