"King Beijun, this is a happy event, and you are in good spirits!"

"Then Miss Xie Er is a famous beauty and talented girl in the capital, and the king of Beijun is really a blessing!"

The ministers gathered around Liu Cheng, the king of Beijun, to congratulate, and Liu Cheng calmly enjoyed these praises and congratulations.

At this time, I saw Liu Changqing coming towards him, and several people bowed their hands.

"I've seen Your Highness. ”

"No need to be polite. Liu Chang said lightly, he glanced at Liu Cheng, "Uncle Huang's new marriage is really gratifying, although my father is still fighting bloodily on the front line, but I will be very happy to know about Uncle Huang's marriage." It's a pity that the front line is tight now, otherwise he would definitely reward Uncle Huang with some more things. ”

Liu Cheng's face changed slightly, it is indeed an extraordinary period in Northern Xia, and it is indeed a little out of place for him to get married at this time, but the prince is so ironic in the Ming Dynasty, which makes his face a little unbearable.

"The Northern Xia army is invincible, not to mention that His Majesty is personally conscripted, it won't take long, presumably Southern Chu and Western Wei will inevitably be defeated. The minister also knows that this is an extraordinary time, and this marriage can naturally be saved and will not add any trouble, so His Royal Highness can rest assured. Liu Cheng smiled faintly, "It's a pity that when we were married, His Royal Highness was busy with official affairs and didn't come to attend, which is a pity." ”

Liu Changqing smiled lightly, glanced at a few people, and said: "This marriage is the king of Beijun, you are also happy and slack off together, don't forget what time it is, hurry up the things at hand, don't let your father worry about the things here in the front, do you understand?"

"Yes. ”

Liu Changqing left with his hands in his hands, and several ministers looked at each other: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in a good mood, is there something going on ahead?"

"I haven't heard of it!"

Liu Cheng smiled, he had also heard about the matter between the prince and his new wife, and now that his sweetheart married someone else, he was naturally unhappy. But so what?

Fengqi Palace.

"The little sister's marriage is completed, and the stone in the heart of this palace can be regarded as landing. Xie Xuan said, "She is still a member of the Xie family, and her heart is still towards the Xie family." ”

Xie Di lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea in silence, then raised his eyes to look at Xie Xuan, and asked with a smile, "Don't you have worries in your heart?"

"What do you mean?" Xie Xuan paused slightly, "Isn't it a good thing for my little sister to get married?"

"The crown prince is in charge of the country, if His Majesty returns victoriously this time, I am afraid that the prince's position will really be difficult to shake, how much help can a king of Beijun bring to the Xie family?" Xie Di sneered, "Empress, you should worry about the future of yourself and the little prince." ”

"I don't know what this palace can do, but what can this palace do now?" Xie Xuan sighed, "Although the crown prince is young, he has good means, and he has never made any mistakes during his imprisonment in the country." The minister left by His Majesty to him is also loyal, what do you say we can do now!"

Xie Di's eyes showed a cold color: "Do you dare to gamble?"

"Big brother, what do you mean by this, what are you betting?" Xie Xuan asked suspiciously and nervously.

"After Your Majesty comes back, it will be very difficult for us to make any moves, now Your Majesty is pinned down by the armies of Southern Chu and Western Wei, and we can't get out for at least a few months, how to make everything here a foregone conclusion before that, then Your Majesty will be helpless after he returns. ”

"What do you want to do?" Xie Xuan asked with a frown.

"Take a gamble for Yu'er!" Xie Di said fiercely, "Have you forgotten the killer feature in our hands? That is the life experience of the prince, we have been investigating silently for a few years, the prince is not His Majesty's species, you and I both know, now we just need to let everyone in the world know! He is not His Majesty's son, how can he inherit the unification? Not to mention that the prince's character is still in doubt! Your Majesty is now unable to withdraw from the border pass, you are **, if the identity of the prince cannot be convincing to the public, then you will be in charge of the overall situation here!"

"What if Your Majesty knows about this?" Xie Xuan asked, "What if Your Majesty doesn't care about what lies ahead and suddenly comes back?"

"Wouldn't it be good not to let Your Majesty know?" Xie Di smiled, "From here to the border pass, the road is dangerous, how many people can reach it alive?"

"And what about when Your Majesty returns?"

"At that time, the crown prince had already committed suicide in fear of sin, and Yu'er would be His Majesty's only son, and you were the biological mother of the future prince, would Your Majesty really kill the prince's biological mother with his own hands?" Xie Di sneered, "Moreover, Your Majesty may not be able to come back alive!"

Xie Xuan was startled, hurriedly got up, and said with a white face: "You are not allowed to do anything to Your Majesty!"

"I don't need to do anything to Your Majesty, how dangerous it is on the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable. Xie Di said, "I used a gambling word, indicating that I am not sure of winning, if the bet is lost, the Xie family will be defeated, anyway, after the crown prince ascends the throne, the Xie family will still be defeated, now it is just a little earlier! If the bet wins, then Yu'er will become the emperor of Northern Xia! There is only one chance, do you do it or not?"

"Think about it!" Xie Xuan's mind was a little confused, "If you really do this, it will be impossible for this palace and Your Majesty!"

"My silly sister, haven't you yet recognized the reality? There was no possibility between you and His Majesty, not from the beginning! Don't forget, how did you become his wife, you were full of calculations from the beginning, do you think there is still a real affection between you? Even I was just a tool he used, I thought at first that as long as the Xie family was loyal enough, he would at least give you and the Xie family some decency, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless, wanting to trample the Xie family to the end, in the end, at this point, he forced it out step by step!"

"But my life is still in Jiang Liu's hands. Xie Xuan said with a pale face.

Xie Di's eyes narrowed: "Okay, forget it, accept your fate!"

"No, for Yu'er, I can't accept my fate!" Xie Xuan suddenly raised his eyes and said, "I want him to become the emperor!"

"But you ......"

"As long as Yu'er can become the emperor, what if I die!" she looked at her brother feverishly and firmly, "Brother, you let it go, let's bet on this brother and sister, and bet on a future for Yu'er!"

Xie Di nodded: "I know, I will plan this matter well, I will definitely let Yu'er ascend the throne!"

Xie Di left, and Xie Xuan collapsed in his chair.

At this time, the palace maid came to greet the little prince with him, and when he heard his son's voice, Xie Xuan suddenly ran over and hugged his son tightly in his arms.

"Queen Mother, you let go of your son, your son can't breathe!" the little prince complained.

Xie Xuan held his son's face and said: "Yu'er, everything the queen mother does is for you, for you!

Soon after, some rumors about the crown prince spread among the people one after another.

These rumors are mainly some wrong things that the prince did before becoming the prince, although he was just a child at that time, but he was still criticized by everyone, questioning the prince's character.

And one of the two biggest problems is that when the court's gambling ban came down, he opened a casino to make money, and the other was that he actually stabbed his mother-in-law Yang.

Although the two things have not been spread because of His Majesty's protection, it is an indisputable fact that the prince is greedy for money and unfilial piety, so both the ministers and the people are talking about whether the prince is a genius or everything is played by the prince? Could it be that after the prince ascended the throne, he wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment? Could it be that the prince has a different heart for His Majesty and will take the opportunity to usurp the throne in the future?

These rumors spread so quickly that it is hard to say that someone is not fanning the flames behind them.

Of course, these words inevitably reached Liu Changqing's ears, needless to say, he knew who was making trouble behind, but the other party was obviously prepared, he wanted to block the mouths of Youyou, but let the rumors get stronger and stronger.

But at this time, he was not flustered, after all, no matter how he was dressed outside, he was the crown prince of his father's service, and no one could shake his status except for his father. At the moment, these rumors are not the most important thing, and the most important thing is that there is no chaos in the rear, as long as he waits for his father to come back, and then thoroughly investigates the rumors, he will naturally find out all the people who are hiding behind the rumors, and he can't mess with himself at this time.

And he didn't want the things in the rear here to affect his father's decision-making, so he didn't send anyone to report these things that happened in Beijing to Liu Xu.

However, what he didn't expect was that there was a wave of even more violent rumors that he was not His Majesty's biological son, but the son of the former prince.

When he heard the news, Liu Changqing was so flustered for the first time, this matter was just a vague conjecture he had had over the years, there was no evidence, and his father's attitude towards him, if he doubted it again, he really had no conscience. But I didn't expect that there would be other people talking about it, isn't he really his father's child?

The outbreak of this matter was in a court council, and on this day the queen came to the previous dynasty in person, and there should always be a deal to deal with the rumors about the prince's life in recent days, and the rumors can no longer be allowed to continue to spread.

The first person who stood up to doubt the prince's background was Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and he came up with several pieces of evidence to prove that the prince was not born to Concubine Su, but a woman named Bai Chengcheng was his mother.

"The old slave has been serving Miss Bai back then, and he watched Miss Bai's belly grow bigger day by day, and it was also the old slave who looked at the child's birth. Back then, Miss Bai fell in love with the first prince, so the child must be the first prince, but the relationship between the two was very hidden and no one knew about it. Later, Miss Bai went to the border to find His Majesty who was still King Qi while pregnant, it was when the first prince had an accident, and at that time, Concubine Su had always been by Miss Bai's side, and she was not pregnant, so judging from His Royal Highness's date of birth, it could not be born to Concubine Su!" An old woman said in the hall, "Later, Miss Bai died of dystocia, and the old slave returned to his hometown to care for the elderly, and he never saw the child again!"

Hearing this, Liu Changqing was shocked, he had always only suspected that he might not be born to his father, but he didn't expect that he might not be his mother's child!

Who are he, and who are his real parents?

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu continued: "It must be that His Majesty and the former prince had a deep brotherly relationship, and they couldn't bear to let the only blood of their brother flow outside, so they staged a play with Concubine Su, which not only saved the child's life, but also allowed the child's royal status to be continued. The minister admires His Majesty's pride in order to preserve the blood of the former prince, but the facts are the facts, the prince is indeed not His Majesty's own son, no matter what, whether it is the courtiers or the people, they have the right to get the truth!"

"There is no basis for what you say, it was more than ten years ago, can you remember it wrong?" Xie Xuan asked as he looked at the old woman kneeling in the hall.

"It's impossible to be mistaken, the old slave remembers that incident very clearly, the old slave clearly remembers that when Miss Bai gave birth, it was the old slave who delivered the baby with Concubine Su, and at that time her belly was flat, and it was impossible to get pregnant. "Also, the old slave remembers that the child was born with a red birthmark on his armpit." ”

"Yes, there is indeed a red birthmark under the armpit of this palace, but what kind of evidence is this?" Liu Chang smiled lightly, "There are so many people who have served this palace since childhood, and it is not impossible to tell the characteristics of this palace, and then be written down by some people who are attentive!"

He glanced at everyone and said, "Could it be that just by a few words from this old woman, you believe that this palace was not born to Concubine Su, and not to her father? If your father just wants to save one of her lives, why should he make this palace the crown prince? Is this palace not born to His Majesty, isn't it the father who knows best?"

This is indeed irrefutable, why would a person who is not his own son be appointed as the crown prince, is there really such a selfless emperor in the world?

"Of course, there is more than one witness......

"Shut up!" Liu Changqing scolded, "Lord Liu, what are your intentions? Do you suspect the identity of this palace, do you suspect that your father deceived the emperor back then?"

"I don't dare, but now that rumors are spreading, if we can explain the suspicious points one by one, those rumors will naturally be self-defeating! If we don't make the suspicious things clear at the moment, this matter will be a hidden danger, and I don't know if it will be taken out to make a fuss in the future!"

"This palace thinks that Lord Liu has a point!" Xie Xuan said, "As the queen, this palace naturally has the responsibility to figure out the matter of the bloodline of the emperor's heir, Lord Liu, what evidence do you have?"
