Chapter 149: The Edict
Although it shows that everyone knows that the emperor has not lived long, he didn't expect to leave so suddenly, and this front foot said that the person woke up, but he vomited blood and died without leaving a word. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
At that time, the emperor reacted, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and ask the clan relatives and noble ministers outside to say that the emperor is awake, and he can't say anything to explain!" ”
I thought that since the emperor had woken up, it must be a little better, but he had been in his palace these days, and he was almost obedient to himself, and he relented early to make her son the crown prince, she wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so that the emperor could quickly settle the matter, but she didn't want to, but she was still a step late to fall into the current situation.
If the emperor woke up and finished speaking, it would not be too bad, but the clan relatives and ministers here could not have arrived, and just knelt down to ask An before he could say the last sentence, a word, the emperor began to vomit blood and convulsions, and the imperial doctor was useless after several rescues, and finally he died and drove to the west.
This really almost made Fu Anrong faint alive, and she almost almost succeeded at this point!
Now that the great cause has not been accomplished and the success has fallen short, how can she accept it?
Fortunately, although the emperor died suddenly, there is no clear judgment on the storage position, this time it is not that she can plan well in the future, and it will not be just like this, and there will be no day to turn over.
In this way, she was a little more relieved.
Only then did he have the spirit to deal with the next emperor's funeral, and it was also an occasion where he had to do things on the surface perfectly.
Fu Anrong knew that from this day on, her days of arrogance and frivolity and crisscrossing the six palaces were over.
This time the emperor failed to set up the crown prince before he died, then her situation as the emperor's favorite concubine was the most disadvantageous, she suddenly lost the emperor's blessing, and she made a lot of enemies on weekdays......
So now she has to be very careful every step of the way, although she has her mother's support, but this is not a long-term solution after all.
Tang Younian has been operating in the court for many years, and his strength should not be underestimated, although the second prince said that he was unconscious, but now he is the only adult prince, according to the practice of the Yan Dynasty, on the day of the burial of Emperor Daxing, the prince will be announced to be enthroned.
If there is no crown prince, then all the royal family and the interior ministers must consult with each other, and if there is a will, act according to the edict, if not, it will be a contentious scuffle.
The situation is more or less the same now, so there is really not much time left for her.
The emperor left suddenly, and before he died, although he said perfunctorily that he would set up a prince, he did not actually put it into action, that is, it was not possible to leave an edict.
Since there is no will, then the battle for the throne depends entirely on the votes of the clan relatives and ministers.
In this way, it will be extremely unfavorable to her, the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion is also the one she has been favored for a few years before gaining power, naturally it is not as good as Tang Younian's step by step, steady and steady, and Chen Wei has a heavy army, who knows if he will make dangerous moves and do something earth-shattering.
These need to be measured well, Fu Anrong only felt a headache.
"Niangniang, this is a mourning dress sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The close-fitting palace maid put down her clothes, and when she saw that she was contemplative, she didn't dare to disturb, and just wanted to retreat quietly, she was called by Fu Anrong: "Qiu Yan, come here." ”
The little palace maid hurriedly stepped forward, half kneeling down to obey the order, Fu Anrong whispered a few words in her ear.
On the second day, the Marquis of Jinyang and his eldest son hurriedly entered the palace and stayed for less than a moment before leaving in a hurry.
"Big brother, just in case, sister hopes you can-"
Fu Anbo stopped Fu Anrong's next words, and said softly: "Niangniang is cautious," after a pause, he said, "Rong'er, eldest brother understands." ”
Fu Anrong took Fu Anbo's hand and said, "Father, eldest brother, we have no way out by now, and the only way out is to give it a go." ”
The Marquis of Jin Yang was still silent as always, and Fu Anrong's heart was also heavy as if he was suppressing this, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and hesitated for a long time before he said: "Don't tell the second brother about this matter first......
The Marquis of Jinyang lowered his eyes: "Please also ask Niangniang not to be distracted by the affairs in the house, the phoenix body is important, as for the rest of the trivial matters, Weichen will deal with it on his behalf." ”
Fu Anrong held the hands of her father and brother respectively, and said earnestly: "Father, eldest brother, all I can rely on now is you." ”
Fu Anbo has always loved his little sister, and he has always responded to her requests, so he comforted her immediately: "Rong'er, don't worry, big brother will not let anyone hurt you." ”
Fu Anrong glanced at him deeply, revealing a somewhat pitiful expression, and said: "The eldest brother's love for the younger sister, Rong'er naturally understands, but Sister Gu has a deep prejudice against Rong'er now, I'm afraid it's ......."
As soon as he heard this long-lost name, Fu Anbo was stunned, lowered his eyelids, and said softly: "Rong'er, don't be afraid, the eldest brother will protect you no matter what," his voice was low and heavy, word by word: "Death to those who stand in my way." ”
Fu Anrong felt relieved when she heard this, and immediately smiled, it was inconvenient for the Marquis of Jinyang and Fu Anbo to stay in the palace and hurriedly retired before they finished drinking a cup of tea.
It just so happened that she had just come out of the palace gate of Zhaoyang Hall and ran into Gu Yan's sedan chair, at that time she had just come back from the Shangqing Palace, her body was very tired, and she was half-asleep when she heard someone say goodbye:
"Weichen see the concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu."
"See the end of the ...... Guifei Niangniang, Niangniang Jin'an. ”
Gu Yan woke up at this time, opened the curtain slightly, condescendingly, glanced at the father and son kneeling on the ground, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a sneer: "Marquis of Jinyang, General Fuyuan doesn't need to be polite, please get up." ”
Fu Anbo got up and raised his head, and for a moment, the person who had been in love with him for so many years finally came into view again.
Suddenly, mixed feelings are indescribable.
Gu Yan saw that his eyes fell on him, but he also looked at him calmly, and it was not easy for his eyes to meet.
Yan'er, how are you after all these years?
Although it has long been understood that the positions of the two sides are contradictory at this moment, they are like fire and water, and they are incompatible. But after all, it is the first love of a young man, and they promise each other for life, how can they easily forget each other.
Fu Anbo still remembers that she came out of the attic of the Lu Mansion with the emperor, and at that moment the sky was spinning, the sun and the moon fell together, it was really heartbreaking, and it was not enough to describe the pain.
You are so ruthless, so resolute, and you have reciprocated my affection in a way that is most difficult for me to accept, although I am sad but I don't blame you.
Later, I also knew that your life in the palace was still smooth, and I was relieved in my heart, but more of a loss, you are now a high-ranking concubine, with a noble status, and I am still old after all, and my state of mind cannot go back to the past.
How well Gu Yan knew Fu Anbo, just from his eyes, he could see the feelings he tried his best to hide but was powerless to discredit.
If it had been a few years ago, she would probably have been moved to tears of joy by this, but now......
Hehe, Fu Anbo, are you still satisfied with today's situation?
I want you to deeply remember that all this is because of you, although it is hateful, it is not enough for me to hate you, but what did I do to embrace you left and right?
If you are a concubine, what difference does it make if you marry someone?
You're so arrogant. It's disgusting!
Thinking of this, Rao is Gu Yan was also uneasy, and he didn't care about them at the moment and went straight back to the palace.
What else is there to say between them now?
It's just that it doesn't stop dying!
********
Qingjia was a little surprised when he heard the news of the emperor's death, because Liu Zhongmou had mentioned slightly before that the emperor was suffering from a stroke, because there was some slight hemorrhage in the skull, so he had been fainting, although the situation was not optimistic, but it had been delayed for so long, so there was no reason for him to die suddenly.
Chen Wei didn't want her to worry about these trivial matters, the emperor died when he died, and it was a blessing for the common people to die early for such a faint monarch, he didn't want Qingjia to bother a little bit about such a person, even if it was just gossip, it was not okay to talk about boring things.
It just so happened that Ye Xiuyu came to the house to discuss things with Chen Wei, and stayed for dinner in the evening, during the banquet, Qingjia talked about Gu Yan's jokes, she didn't take it seriously, but the two men who didn't want to be present changed their faces when they heard it.
"She's not idle in the palace all day long and doing some idiot dreams," Chen Wei said in a very bad tone: "If you have this idle time, then you might as well think about your future plans." ”
Ye Xiuyu hugged Chen Xi and his faction, and was funny from time to time: "Xi'er, would you like to have a prince or the emperor's brother-in-law in the future, huh?" ”
Chen Xi likes others to talk to him the most, no matter what he says, he is very happy whether he understands it or not, and he can't tell whether he agrees or opposes it.
Ye Xiuyu liked to tease him very much, and took a piece of sweet cake to tempt him: "Good, Xi'er, call uncle." ”
Chen Wei watched coldly from the sidelines, don't be stupid, this kid can't even call his father and mother now, where is his turn to come here.
I don't want Chen Xi to open his mind or what, his small mouth pouted and made a 'chirp' sound similar to a birdsong, Ye Xiuyu smiled with satisfaction: "...... That's fine. ”
After finishing it, he took the child in his arms and kissed him before handing him over to the nurse who was waiting to breastfeed the child.
The child withdrew, and now Chen Wei and Ye Xiuyu can finally talk about some serious things.
"It's time to enter the mausoleum tomorrow, I'm afraid that the second prince's side should make some moves at that time, so it's best to prepare early."
Chen Wei sneered: "It's really timely enough for you to say this word 'early' now." ”
Since we all know that tomorrow is the big funeral, isn't it too late to remind us now?
Ye Xiuyu didn't care, smiled lightly, and showed his grace: "Hey, I know that the general has always been strategizing and winning thousands of miles, even if he didn't have my mouth, he must have been prepared, and he was just a kind reminder." ”
Qingjia raised her cheeks, looking at the two of them who came and went, she felt like she was looking at fools: "Do you two have to talk so strangely?" ”
Chen Wei was helpless when he heard this, there was no way, Ye Xiuyu was like this, and he always couldn't be calm when talking to him.
Ye Xiuyu touched her sister's head with a smile, and said seriously: "Don't talk during dinner, do you know?" ”
Qingjia is depressed, obviously you are also talking!
So I ignored them and buried her head in hard work, but recently her appetite has improved a lot, and she is always hungry!
Sleep when you eat, eat when you sleep, all day long in the house, the emperor died This kind of thing is faint when she hears it, but she still can't bear it slightly in her heart Gu Yan will ...... when he is young
Alas, now I only hope that Gu Yan can finally get what he wants.
"By the way, third brother, brother, who do you think will be the emperor next?"
Only then did the little woman who realized it think about this question, although she didn't care much about it, but she was also a little curious.
"If Gu Yan didn't have that mind, how could she dare to say such words in front of you," Ye Xiuyu said slowly: "A mere prince always doesn't dare to make such a request. ”
Although Chen Wei still only has one child now, Chen Xi still has one child, but who knows what will happen in the future, if it is true that the Chen family has a woman who has just grown up, first throw away the dignity of identity and status, it will be very difficult for Chen Wei to pass that level alone.
Boys are already so loved by him, if they are girls, how can they be described as a pearl in the palm of their hands.
If you say that you are afraid of falling off in the palm of your hand, it is not surprising if you hold it in your mouth for fear of melting.
Qingjia also rejoiced for Gu Yan when she heard this, as she herself said, she always has to get one for love and power.
Maybe there is no blessing in this life to be treated sincerely by someone, but if she can have a noble and incomparable status as compensation, then she will not suffer in vain.
Therefore, if Gu Yan can get what she wants, she is really happy for her.
*******
On the day that Emperor Daxing entered the mausoleum, as expected, the second prince took out the 'edict' in front of the golden coffin, indicating that he was the emperor's favorite choice before his death.
For a while, everyone was shocked.
But some people immediately questioned it, saying that the emperor left suddenly, and did not disclose the fact that he left an edict before his death, and now the second prince stood up and said that the emperor had already entrusted, so there was some room for discussion.
This is a very polite statement, but the suspicion in his tone is unquestionable.
Yes, now that the emperor is dead, the emperor is a piece of fat who doesn't want to grab it, and you suddenly stand up and say that you are the candidate for the prince, then there must be someone who doesn't believe it and doesn't accept it.
So everyone's reactions were expected, but fortunately, today Tang Younian finally got out of house arrest. After all, it was a day like the emperor's entry into the mausoleum, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces all had to kneel to mourn.
Seeing that the second prince of the eyelids was questioned so much, it was time for Taishi Tang to stand up and say, "Please listen to me, my lords." ”
Sure enough, although the dispute was still hot a moment ago, as soon as Tang Younian came out, the people present immediately died down, which shows that although he has gone through a house arrest, his power is still quite scrupulous.
Chen Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, silently, and looked at his explanation.
I saw Tang Younian's solemn complexion, very solemn, and said in a loud voice: "The matter of the prince is related to the country, and you adults should be suspicious, after all, the sudden departure of the first emperor is really unexpected, and now the second prince has the last order of the first emperor in his hands, if all the adults still have doubts," he held up the edict and said: "You can find out the ink treasure before the first emperor for comparison." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at each other, and Tang Younian's appearance of being a bamboo in his chest made them all a little suspicious.
Chen Wei said at the right time: "Since the Taishi said so, then let's go to the Shangqing Palace together, if it is really as the Taishi said, then it can also avoid a storm, so as not to make the first emperor's soul restless, and worry about the unrest of the family and country." ”
Everyone hurriedly agreed: "What the general said is very true. ”
Tang Younian saw Chen Wei's indifferent appearance, and he felt uneasy in his heart for some reason.
Seeing that the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, as if he was smiling, and there was a looming edge flashing in his eyes, which made his heart a little heavy.
He followed his words so calmly, didn't he already notice something?
Or is there fraud in this?
It's a pity that no one can give him a definite answer, now it's difficult to ride a tiger, the arrow is on the string, and he has to send it, he just needs to force down the uneasiness in his heart and take people to the Shangqing Palace.
Everything is in one fell swoop, and God blesses it. (To be continued.) )
