Chapter 135: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne
It was perhaps the most childish rebellion ever made, with no bloodshed and no deaths, and it looked like a farce. If it weren't for the fact that the small officials found a large amount of blood when they were arranged to clean the imperial study, and if it weren't for the fact that the forbidden army was nervously searching for the whereabouts of Huangfu Zongyi, this rebellion would have seemed to have never happened. Only those parties understand the thrilling twists and turns and turbulent undercurrents.
Two days later, Huangfu Zong, who pretended to be a forbidden army and wanted to escape from the palace, was arrested and put in prison, and the matter came to an end, and the forbidden army also lifted the blockade of the harem.
The third prince, Qin Jingyu, walked out of the harem proudly, but he had been suffocated in the past two days, but thinking that he would soon be the crown prince of the Great Qin Kingdom, he suddenly smiled.
However, soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because Qin Yixuan sent someone to invite him to the imperial study.
Qin Yixuan asked the internal official to give him the holy decree, and said with a smile: "Third brother, my father has already named you the king of Duan, and you will accompany you." I also hope that the third brother will hurry back to pack up and take his family to go to the Shuzhou Palace with his father. ”
"What? No way! Where is the father? Qin Jingyu couldn't believe what he heard.
"Father is cleaning up, this holy order has been read out in the morning today, I have another one here, and I will go to the harem to read it later."
"This is not true! You must have done some trick! Having said that, Qin Jingyu still quickly opened the holy decree in his hand, it was his father's handwriting, and the seal on it was also real. He looked at it word by word, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. The general content reads: abdicate on the same day, become the emperor, and move to the Shuzhou Palace. The crown prince Yixuan succeeded to the throne, and the third prince Jingyu was named the king of Duan, and moved to the palace of Shuzhou to accompany him.
"Smack-" With a shake of his hand, the holy decree fell to the ground, seeing Qin Yixuan looking at him and smiling, Qin Jingyu hurriedly bent down to pick up the holy decree and carefully brushed off the dust on it. In fact, the imperial study was cleaned very clean, and there was no dust, he just didn't want to charge himself with one more crime.
Although he is not as smart as Qin Yixuan, he is also knowledgeable about current affairs. Since Qin Yixuan is now sitting alone in this imperial study, the content of this holy decree is beyond doubt. It's just that I didn't expect that this Qin Yixuan could actually let his father take the initiative to abdicate, and with this means, he was lucky to be able to save a small life.
At that moment, he changed his expression, bowed down and said, "Thank you Brother Huang for reminding me." The younger brother congratulated the royal brother on his success. "Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood, the most important thing is to save your life at the moment, and you will care about the rest in the future.
Seeing that he knew the current affairs, Qin Yixuan didn't want to worry about it anymore, and said with a smile: "Go quickly, third brother, don't let your father wait in a hurry." ”
On the first day of the crown prince Qin Yixuan's succession, the harem of the Great Qin Palace set off stormy waves. The decree has been given, whether you want it or not, you can only obey it. Fortunately, Emperor Daqin was not obsessed with women, the number of concubines was not large, and the emperor's children were not many, just two sons and three daughters. Qin Yixuan is the eldest son, so it is logical to become the crown prince.
For his three younger sisters, Qin Yixuan was not embarrassed, but still left them in the palace and gave them a good horse in the future. His mother, Empress Dowager Jiang, after several considerations, chose to go to the Shuzhou Palace to accompany her. When her son is older and has her own opinions, she won't keep it to add to the chaos, and this harem will be left to his future queen to take care of. It's better to go to the palace, and you can also help the emperor pay attention to whether there will be any changes between Emperor Taishang and King Duan.
Because the enthronement ceremony was very cumbersome, there was no time to prepare for it, so it was set for 20 days, and even so, the harem departments were still too busy to touch the ground. The minds of some ministers began to liven up, and after asking the new emperor to be established on the same day, Qin Yixuan was noncommittal.
The next morning, Qin Yixuan sat on the dragon chair, and the ministers shouted long live.
Once the son of heaven and a courtier, the new emperor ascended the throne, rewarded the meritorious ministers, and the previous prince's faction naturally benefited.
Unexpectedly, Li Gaowo, the owner of Wanjian Villa, was named a national teacher, given a large mansion, and did not need to go to court every day, which is a great honor. In the past, people in the rivers and lakes were rewarded, at most some silver taels were given, and a false name of the leader of the martial arts alliance was given.
The second holy decree is even more surprising: thoroughly investigate the former squire Su Guobang's collaboration with the enemy, and return the Su family to innocence. Everyone can't help but speculate, could it be that the abdication of Emperor Taishang is still related to the Su Guobang case? However, some old ministers remembered that it was Huangfu Zongyi who convicted Su Guobang back then, and the emperor was settling accounts together.
As soon as Qin Yixuan retired from the dynasty and returned to the imperial study, the internal official reported to the national teacher to ask for a meeting.
Li Gaowo was about to kneel, but Qin Yixuan stopped: "When there are only you and me, the national teacher is exempt from kneeling." ”
Li Gaowo bowed down and said: "Thank you to the emperor, the emperor can rest assured that my Wanjian Villa will definitely not harm the imperial court." ”
Qin Yixuan said with a smile: "Why did the national teacher suddenly mention this, I trust the national teacher." ”
"Li Gaowo has always been free and casual, has no heart to enter the ranks, and just wants to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes. When I go back this time, I will restrain the people of Wanjian Villa and other forces in the rivers and lakes, and ask the emperor to take back his order. ”
"National teacher, I named you an official, just because you have made a lot of contributions this time, and you have no other thoughts. If I have to say that there is, I also want to create a good birth for my future queen. ”
"What Li Gaowo wants is only to correct the name of the Su family, which was negotiated at the beginning, and everything Wanjian Villa does is only for the agreement, and there is no credit. If the emperor is still not at ease, Wanjian Villa can help the emperor reorganize Tianyi Pavilion and train new twelve secret guards. ”
"Tianyi Pavilion, how can it be compared to Wanjian Villa, and in the future, Wanjian Villa will replace the position of Tianyi Pavilion, what does the national teacher think? As for the twelve dark guards, then there is Lao Guoshi. ”
"This ......"
"I don't hinder the national teacher from living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, but there are many talented people in Wanjian Villa, if they have the heart to contribute to the country, I can't chill their hearts."
"What the emperor said is very true, when the ministers go back to make arrangements, they will leave a group of people to live in the National Teacher's Mansion and wait for the emperor to send them." Li Gaowo understood that if Wanjian Villa could be used by the imperial court, Qin Yixuan would not make any moves. It's just that Wanjian Villa is too powerful, Qin Yixuan has to guard against it, and the best way is to let Qing'er enter the palace as the queen. He can serve the imperial court, but Qing'er, he will never be reluctant.
"That's very good." 12
Since Bingyan's death, Xue Qing has been running to the hospital every day, and she is very disappointed to hear the doctor say that everything is normal. Now, she especially hopes that she can get pregnant and leave a child for Bingyan, but God doesn't fulfill her wish.
She regretted that she didn't keep that child, if she insisted on not drinking abortion pills, she wouldn't be poisoned, and at this moment she and Bingyan would be very happy to live in the plum garden, with their children.
On this day, Li Gaowo came to pick her up and took her back to the National Teacher's Mansion. Along the way, she didn't have a superfluous expression, nor did she say a word, as if the person opposite was just a stranger. This person used to be her dearest father, and it was also this person who single-handedly controlled the entire game and indirectly killed Ice Flame. She couldn't smile at him like she used to.
Soon after arriving, an internal official came to pass it on, and the emperor summoned him. Xue Qing simply cut her hair and followed her into the palace.
Entering the imperial study, I saw Xia Hongying, no, it should be said that His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin was standing in the center of the main hall, although he was only wearing a white regular dress at the moment, the whole person's bearing was still different from before.
Xue Qing was about to bow down, but he had already greeted her and stopped her movements: "Xue Qing, you are here, come here, I will show you something." ”
At this time, he gave Xue Qing a different feeling, as if he was no longer the high-ranking Emperor His Majesty, but still the original Xia Hongying.
He smiled and pulled Xue Qing to the desk, picked up a scroll of holy decrees and handed it to her: "Come, look! ”
Xue Qing opened it, it was about Wanjian Villa, it was nothing more than Wanjian Villa's meritorious rescue and reward.
"Haven't you already appreciated it, how can you still have it? Daddy doesn't want this. Xue Qing handed him back the holy decree.
"Then look at this again." Qin Yixuan handed her another volume of holy decrees, "This has not been printed yet, I hope you can cover it personally." ”
Xue Qing slowly opened it and looked at it word by word.
"Smack-"
"Your Majesty forgives your sins!" Xue Qing knelt down and picked up the fallen decree.
"Xueqing, what are you doing here? Get up! Seeing her like this, Qin Yixuan felt very uncomfortable.
"The people have the courage to beg Your Majesty to take back your life!" Xue Qing bowed deeply, respectful as never before.
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Yixuan said word by word, and the meaning of displeasure became even more obvious.
"The daughter of the people is the daughter of a criminal minister, and His Majesty has not pursued it, but it is already the emperor's grace, and he has no shame to accept the reward again. The women did not dare to insult His Majesty's wisdom. Xue Qing said slowly but firmly.
Qin Yixuan stepped forward to help her: "You are Li Xueqing, the daughter of Wanjian Villa, the daughter of the great hero Li Guoshi, you deserve to be rewarded, and you deserve it." ”
The holy decree reads "Li Xueqing is the queen", and he did this because he had her in his heart, and at the same time, the strength of Wanjian Villa exceeded his expectations, making him jealous. married Xue Qing, not only got the beauty that he longed for, but also choked the throat of Wanjian Villa, and got the power of most of the rivers and lakes.
Xue Qing didn't take advantage of the situation to get up, and kowtowed again: "If Your Majesty is going to give a reward, the people have the courage to exchange rewards with Your Majesty." If His Majesty can fulfill it, the people will be grateful, and they will be loyal in this life. ”
Xue Qing also knew Xia Hongying's thoughts, she was the daughter of the rebellious Emperor Fu Zongyi, to put it nicely, she was the daughter of Wanjian Villa. With such an identity, even if you love her again, giving her the title of a concubine is already the limit.
Since she expressed her loyalty, then as long as Li Gaowo still controls Wanjian Villa, Wanjian Villa will definitely not have friction with the imperial court. She wanted to use this bargaining chip to make Xia Hongying give up the idea of marrying her, and took the opportunity to make the request she wanted to mention.
Qin Yixuan leaned down to help her: "You get up first." ”
When he saw it, he accepted it, and this time Xue Qing stood up according to his meaning: "Your Majesty can forgive the people's daughters......"
"Xueqing, don't meet me like this." Qin Yixuan interrupted her.
"Brother Sakura, I beg you...... Give my father a way to live, and also give Bingyan's closest relatives a way to live. I promise, I'll make them disappear forever......"
"You're deliberately embarrassed!" This time, he called himself me, and until then, he had been talking about me. He was telling Xue Qing that if he talked about personal matters, he was Xia Hongying; But if it is to talk about official business, he is His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qin State.
Xue Qing couldn't guess his thoughts, but she knew better that if this matter was discussed as a business matter, there would be no possibility of recovery.
"Brother Hongying, Bingyan is gone, he is my only blood relative, please look at the previous relationship......"
"Xue Qing, why do you have to embarrass me......" Qin Yixuan's words were already a little angry.
