Emperor Huiping fainted, and the imperial doctors panicked. Since he summoned Cui Zhan, Emperor Huiping has been sick with his heart, and many messy things are blocked in his heart, this body is barely supported, and now that the nine-story platform has been burned, how can he still bear it?

Now that there is no queen, although the concubine is taking care of the affairs in the palace, she does not dare to call the shots in major matters, and immediately invited Concubine Cui to the Lama Palace.

Concubine Cui has experienced the ups and downs of the two dynasties, and in the end, she was able to stabilize it, so she asked the imperial doctor to step up the diagnosis and treatment, and she did not announce that Xu Yan or any of the princes came in.

After a hurry, Emperor Huiping came to his senses, and his eyes were a little confused. In a blink of an eye, he saw Concubine Cui sitting next to him, so he said, "The fire has been saved?" ”

"Saved." Concubine Cui nodded, and didn't dare to tell Emperor Huiping the details immediately - not only did the nine-story platform burn to ashes, but the three palaces next to it also turned into ashes, if it wasn't saved in time, I am afraid that even the orchid room full of famous paintings would be destroyed.

This nine-story platform has already caused a lot of discussion, and this time there was a thunderstorm in the east and a piece of the palace was burned, and those people didn't scold Emperor Huiping into a sieve?

Concubine Cui sighed silently and persuaded: "No one expected such a thing, the winter is already dry, and charcoal fires have been used more in the palaces recently, and it is not surprising that the water is gone, and the emperor should still take care of himself." ”

Emperor Huiping couldn't listen to it, his eyes were stunned, "Concubine, I have lived for decades, and I have only heard of thunder in winter, where have I really seen it?" This time it happened to burn the nine-story platform, concubine, are you saying that God is punishing me? ”

The tone was full of exhaustion and confusion, a world away from the hard work he had made when he ascended the throne at the beginning of that year.

Concubine Cui knew that he was in a daze, and no matter how much she persuaded him, it was useless, so she could only sigh.

When Emperor Huiping raised him for two days and was able to go to court, the folds he had saved in the past two days were moved to the desk and turned over, almost making him vomit blood again - those bastards who stood and talked without backache in Yushitai were actually mixed up with Qin Tianjian this time, and chased dozens of folds in this matter!

Thunder in winter is a strange thing, not to mention that this time God split the nine-story platform that cost a lot of precious wood and lost a lot of financial resources, which is the treasure of Emperor Huiping, which was burned by a fire from the sky, which is naturally the monarch's immorality!

Besides, this winter's weather is different from previous years, and God warned early, this time the fire is angry punishment!

Those imperial historians are really interested in scolding people, and they are not afraid of being cut off their heads, and they quote scriptures and classics freely, and many visions of heaven throughout the ages are the lord and the monarch has lost his morality, so he almost pointed at Emperor Huiping's nose and scolded him for his obsession.

Emperor Huiping covered his heart and looked at a few folds, and was so angry that he swept all the stacks of folds on the ground with a flick of his sleeves.

Swept his eyes to the side, and pulled out a fold casually, this time it was not so heartwarming, although the above was also talking about this fire, saying that this was of course a fire from the sky to warn Emperor Huiping, but in terms of the root cause, in fact, the root is still in the prince.

Since then, the prince has been counted in various acts of loss of virtue over the years, from lack of talent and virtue, to connivance with domestic slaves, arrogance and lasciviousness, and then to the waste of the court, useless in the country, narrow-minded, and framing meritorious heroes.

Finally, I made a summary, saying that in fact, the East Palace was immoral and unworthy of inheriting the throne in the future, so God would warn in advance and give Emperor Huiping a reminder.

Otherwise, Emperor Huiping has been in power for nearly ten years, and he used to be fine, why is this year so strange?

A letter of recital saw Emperor Huiping Shutai a lot, and thought about it carefully, this fire is indeed strange, so is there something wrong with him, or is it really as this letter says, is it the loss of morality in the East Palace?

Emperor Huiping has seen what the prince has done in recent years, and aside from his mediocre qualifications, the absurd things that the prince did in the early years were already very out of line, but Emperor Huiping has always been partial, so that he can firmly occupy the position of the East Palace. In the past two years alone, Emperor Huiping has two knots in his heart that cannot be solved-

One is the death of King Wei, although it is also the King of Wei himself who is not angry, but the prince's hands and feet behind his back, his benefits Emperor Ping can see clearly. The other is the rebellion of the eldest princess of Leyang, the prince was used as a chess piece and didn't realize it, he was critically ill and lying on the couch, he didn't say that he was filial piety, but conspired with the queen and Lan Daoshi, and only thought about the throne.

No matter how partiality is, how can you not chill when you encounter such a thing?

Later, the eldest princess of Leyang raised troops to rebel, Xu Yan bothered to plan and maintain the stability of the court, but the prince not only did not exert any strength, but wantonly poured dirty water on Xu Yan after turning from danger to safety.

Emperor Huiping deliberately avoided these things before, and he didn't think about them carefully, but now he can't help but think deeply-

A fire from heaven is a loss of morality on the part of the Lord. So who is this black cauldron for?

If there is still King Wei here, maybe he can push it there, but now that the crown prince and the emperor can afford such a big crime, who should bear it, isn't it obvious?

Emperor Huiping used to favor the crown prince for the sake of his inner obsession, rather than how much he really liked and loved the prince. It's not that hard to make a choice nowadays.

When you think about it, many things come naturally.

In the eyes of Emperor Huiping, who was already a little stunned, the reunion with Meng Shu in the Baiyun Temple was actually an opportunity given to him by God, and Meng Shu had persuaded him to let go of the past and concentrate on politics, but although he listened to it, he failed to completely investigate it, so he reprimanded the prince on the one hand, and on the other hand, he couldn't make up his mind to abolish the prince.

So this time God no longer gave him a chance, and directly sent a fire.

After thinking about it for a long time, the courtiers and concubines who asked for peace outside were gone, he locked himself in the quiet room, put aside the obsession of these years, and seriously thought about it, feeling that Xu Chengen was indeed not a good monarch.

Then, let's abolish the prince.

Since the decision had been made, Emperor Huiping was even exempted from the procedure of finding someone to discuss, and when the spirit was restored to the court, without waiting for the courtiers to speak, he took the lead in mentioning the strange fire a few days ago.

Sin is inevitable, a little repentance, he began to reprimand the prince, picked out a few things he had done in public over the years, and then said that his body is leaning westward, if the prince is still so virtuous, how can he afford the great cause of the world in the future? This time the heavenly fire is a warning from heaven, the prince must reflect on it, and go back to think about it behind closed doors for three months.

In such a disposition, almost all the charges were put on the crown prince's head.

The courtiers looked at each other, and the words they had prepared were useless, so there was a brief silence.

However, the court is full of human spirits, and now Emperor Huiping's attitude has changed abruptly, and some people on the side have smelled the strangeness, so they tried to visit the prince when the court said a few words, and Emperor Huiping actually listened to them all, and reprimanded the prince.

This signal is too obvious, although the prince is aggrieved and half dead, the courtiers here who have a spirit began to ponder after they returned. So within a few days, there was an excerpt handed to Emperor Huiping's case, counting the prince's mistakes over the years, and finally saying that the prince was immoral and no longer worthy of the position of the East Palace, so Emperor Huiping was asked to depose the prince and choose another virtuous -

There is now a fifth prince Xu Chengping in the palace, although he has been unknown all these years, but he is diligent and inquisitive, although he is not involved in political affairs, he has a good reputation under the praise of Taifu and other great Confucians.

Although Emperor Huiping kept this fold and did not send it, when he went to the court, he praised the courtier a few words, rewarded him with a grace, and gave him the newly vacated position of the servant of the ministry.

At this moment, the attitude was even clearer, so many people who were originally hesitant did not dare to delay any longer, and began to besiege the prince together, asking Emperor Huiping to choose another lord of the East Palace.

Xu Chengen is in the position of the East Palace, he has been mediocre and absurd for many years, he has not done a few good things, but there are a lot of bad things, and if he wants to find him, it is easier than picking up a small stone on the road.

So for more than ten days, the content of going to the court every day was to visit the prince, scold the prince, and demand the abolition of the prince.

In this voice, at the end of October, Emperor Huiping finally issued an edict to His Excellency, saying that Xu Cheng'en was not talented and moral, and that he was deposed of the East Palace. In the end, he still retains the relationship between father and son, leaving his throne and ensuring that he is a rich idler.

There was a storm in the court, and although Xu Yan did not participate in a single star, he could see it clearly from beginning to end.

Xu Chengen was abolished, a big stone in his heart finally fell, and on the night of the second day of the first day of November, the entire Duanwang Mansion was boiled by good news - Shen Yu worked hard to conceive a baby for ten months, and after a whole day of painful suffering, she finally gave birth to a healthy and healthy child!

This is even more exciting than the news of the abolished prince!

At that time, Xu Yan was standing outside the delivery room, although he was violently pushed out by Mrs. Shen and his grandmothers several times when he broke into the delivery room, and he could not accompany Shen Yan all the time, but when he heard the child's loud first cry outside the window, Xu Yan almost burst into tears.

The midwinter night was already extremely cold, and there were snowflakes floating all over the ground outside, but Xu Yan's body seemed to be steaming hot, so that the snow flakes were melted before they could get close.

He had been outside since Shen Yan began to suffer from labor pains, and from early morning to night, every heart-rending cry was clearly seared on his heart. He stood outside through a layer of tulle, not allowed to step into the delivery room, and didn't dare to poke a hole in the window to make Shen Yan blow the cold wind, so he could only cling to the outside of the screen window and watch the figures inside come and go and sway.

There were two times in the middle when Shen Yu fainted, he couldn't help but rush into the door, and when Shen Yu woke up, he was kicked out again. The palms of the calluses that had been held for many years had already been pinched by themselves and bloodstained, and he stood in the courtyard sweating profusely, his heart almost in his throat.

When the midwife reported the safety of the mother and child, the grandmothers outside were busy spreading the good news everywhere, but Xu Yan suddenly raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes, and flew into the house.
