The prince's words made the emperor silent, he never expected that the prince would refuse to take over the throne at this time.

Is he doing this for Xiao Wei?

The emperor leaned on the big pillow and looked at the prince with a pair of inquiring eyes, and the prince's face on the kneeling ground was firm and persistent, as if this was his decision after careful consideration.

"Why?" He asked, and then added, "Get up." ”

The prince stood up silently, clutching the holy decree,

"Since the time of Taizu, the Chai family's country has always been inherited by the elders, and when it came to the father, the inheritance was broken."

"In the past, there was no one in the lineage, but now that people are standing here, why don't they go off the wrong path and go on the right path?"

The prince raised his lips and looked at Xiao Wei on the side,

"As a descendant of the Chai family, Gu has always looked forward to the longevity of Dongyuan Guozuo, and even more hopes that Dongyuan can prosper."

"What's the good of killing these people here? They are the great generals of the border, and only with their country can they be stable. ”

"There are also good people who are loyal to the imperial court, if they are really killed, Lone is not trying to live for a good reputation, and they also have to consider whether they will go to hell after death."

"Everything in the past is a passing thing, why don't all the grievances and hatreds end here?"

"And I don't want to take over this position, I want to keep this life and take my daughter-in-law to live in seclusion in the countryside and live a comfortable life."

"Father, my son is obviously having a better life, why should he sink himself into the quagmire of the palace?"

This is not only not to kill them, but also not to take the throne, and even the two princes don't want it, as long as they are ordinary people and live in peace.

The people present, whether they were as young as Xu Han or Xu Jun who had deep experience, did not quite understand the trend of the events in front of them.

A father and son, who were fathers back then, sat in this position with all their hearts, and they had a lot of burdens in their hearts.

But today, the son not only does not want the throne, but also the glory and wealth.

Xiao Wei looked at the prince who was standing quietly in front of him, and he didn't know what to say.

He did think about fighting, and if he got to that point, he would get back what belonged to him.

But it's definitely not like today, to be honest, let him fully accept everything in front of him, and he really can't do it for a while.

He was speechless for a while, and then turned his eyebrows to the prince,

"I don't understand why you are doing this, if you feel that your majesty has forced you in the past, shouldn't you prove yourself even more? And why give up everything? ”

"All I wanted was a way to live, a clear answer."

He wanted to ask the emperor the truth about what happened back then, and now, everything was clear.

He couldn't say anything about the rebellion that year.

In a sense, the emperor and he are enemies, and it is difficult for the emperor to understand what the emperor has done to him over the years.

Half love, half hate.

He's the one who gets torn in the middle.

In terms of treating the people and courtiers, the emperor is undoubtedly good, even in the matter of Concubine Yu.

The emperor is also considered good.

It can only be said that all this is a mistake.

He couldn't even think of a reason to keep the hatred he had so deep for him.

If you have to say that there is a certain emotion, come to think of it, it can be described as pity.

It's just that let him accept what the prince said like this, he is 10,000 unwilling.

Recalling everything he had suffered, Xiao Wei was not angry, but at this moment, what was the use of him dwelling on these things?

If you count them one by one, who owes whom first? Who owes more to whom?

Perhaps, in the end, the best outcome is to resolve hatred, rather than destroying it.

The prince's body did not move, but his hands were behind his back,

"I know that you don't have the slightest idea about this country and the throne, but I also believe that you are absolutely capable of carrying this country."

He paced two steps and continued, "I can also do this, I also have ambitions, and I will have enough confidence to take care of this country." ”

"But in that sense, you're more convincing than me is in this position."

"Now, in my heart, my wife is all in my heart, as for my revenge, please do it for me as a younger brother."

"I am the proudest thing in my life to be able to hand over to you the country that our fathers have brought down."

"I'm sure so is my father."

Xiao Wei lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the emperor on the couch, there was no information on his face, he just chuckled lightly and said quietly,

"It seems that good people have made you father and son do it."

"This world is the world of the Chai family, as the Chai family, as a father who was robbed and killed, and my mother ......"

Xiao Wei paused, "I don't say that I will take over the throne today, or I will rebel directly, and that will be regarded as a famous teacher." ”

"From the day I decided to take revenge, I was destined to follow this path."

"At the moment, your meditation position is of no use to me at all."

"Regardless of whether your father and son have a routine or not, of course you won't really be stupid about me, because you don't dare."

"Your scruples about me are real, and I can even know the light of what you say about it all."

"If you are really willing to give me the throne, you won't let so many people stay, you just want to retreat decently."

"I don't have any ambitions, but I don't want to be a fool!"

Xiao Wei's words were sentence by sentence, which made the prince's face a little ugly, and even the emperor on the couch turned pale.

It is true that everything today is designed, from the last conversation between the emperor and the crown prince, to the later exposure of Concubine Hui's affairs, after the emperor asked Jinyiwei to find out everything, he learned that Concubine Yu was pushing everything inside, and immediately planned with the prince.

Designed to make it what it is today.

The crown prince had already had the idea of retreating when the crown princess was sent to Huangjue Temple, and at that time, he only thought that Xiao Wei was the emperor's illegitimate son.

If you can, it's not impossible to return to the sect, as long as you return to the sect, you can pass the throne to him.

But he didn't expect that Xiao Wei was indeed a member of the Chai family, but not a half-brother, but the son of Prince Fengxian and his cousin.

At that time, the prince thought that maybe there was a providence in the underworld, and this world was destined to return to the line of Prince Fengxian.

The last time the emperor asked him what would happen if he returned the throne to Xiao Wei, no matter whether the emperor was tempted or what, he had already decided to let the emperor do it.

"I know it's selfish and even shameless. Forgive us, though, because if we hadn't, you wouldn't have agreed to the decision to sit in this position. ”

The prince still said these things in a firm tone, but his attitude was no longer as calm as before.

Xiao Wei shook his head, "No, your father and son think that they can give me this position, but I won't accept it, because I have a better step." ”

The faces of the emperor and the crown prince and the father and son were all defeated, like a king who had lost his territory on the battlefield.

After Xiao Wei finished speaking, he turned outward, raised his hand and high-fived, and as the applause fell, many people came in from outside the door, led by the eldest princess of Shuyang, followed by the Marquis of Yong'an, the remaining three elders of the cabinet, the scholars of the six ministries, etc., the important ministers in the court.

Soon, an inner sanctum became crowded.

Why did so many ministers enter the palace and no one reported it, in fact, it can also be imagined that there is the eldest princess Shuyang here, taking the ministers into the palace, and there are people brought by Huo Qi from the camp in the eastern suburbs, it is indeed easy to enter the palace.

Although Yong'an Hou was the commander of the Praetorian Guard, when he was opposed to the people in the eastern suburbs, there was no reason to die.

All the people stood there in rows, and the eldest princess of Shuyang was dressed in a commanding dress, and the whole person was dressed very solemnly, as if it was the most solemn ceremony.

She slowly walked to the emperor's couch and sat down.

"Since you no longer have the intention of continuing to govern, and Zheng'er has returned to the sect, as the head of the line, and you have the world in mind, then, this throne will be succeeded by Zheng'er, I don't know if you have any objections?"

No one objected, and they all seconded it.

Xiao Wei has been brilliant since childhood, and although he later played the role of a gentleman for many years, in fact, under the cover of his dazzling aura, he has quietly grown into a qualified leader who is willing to follow.

In the case that he doesn't have much foundation, he can hold the pro-army Twelve Guards Jin Yuwei in his hands, and when he is the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, he seems to be lazy, but in fact, he has a thorough understanding of Jinyiwei's set of processes.

Even in the northern Xinjiang, in the end, he went into the depths of the grassland with Huo Qi and cut off the royal court of the Northern Barbarians.

All of this, as Xu Han said that day, he was a natural king.

The emperor looked at Xiao Wei in a daze, with a gloomy face, he originally wanted to win Xiao Wei.

Back then, and even for more than 20 years, he had been unable to defeat the eldest brother in his heart, Prince Fengxian, so he thought that he could get some dignity in the end.

But what he did to Xiao Wei before, as well as Xiao Wei as a person, he is destined not to get this glory again.

He didn't expect that everything that was designed did make Xiao Wei fall into the set, and in a blink of an eye, he also fell into Xiao Wei's set.

He didn't even know when Xiao Wei arranged all this, and he didn't even leave him a little leeway!

He reluctantly sat up from the couch and glanced at the ministers in front of him,

"Since all of you Aiqing unanimously think that this is feasible, then, I am also approved."

In this way, the throne of Xiao Wei was not given by their father and son, but by the ministers.

When the sky was white, the imperial city, which had been noisy all night, finally quieted down.

The summer sun rises from the sky, and the yellowish sunlight shines into the main hall, bright and golden.

The ancient Miyagi is about to usher in another spring not far away in this summer.

The marks of these rings, those joys and sorrows, those love and hatred, are like the morning dew in this summer, which is dissipated into the air by the sun.

This night, I'm afraid few people in the capital fell asleep.

After dawn, Xu Gelao's rebellion was like a thunderbolt on the ground that exploded at every gateway of the capital, blowing up the entire court of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty.

From the moment Xu Ge Lao rebelled, Mrs. Xu expelled Xu Xiuyan and Xu Yuelian from the family tree, and the rest of the Xu Mansion except for the two of them were imprisoned.

The emperor was not willing to wait for a day, and after dawn, he directly issued an edict, because the emperor was not in good health, and the prince had no heir, and Zen was located in His Royal Highness the King of Han who had just returned to the sect.

threw all the aftermath brought about by Xu Ge's rebellion to Xiao Wei.

The 12 guards of the pro-army, Jin Wuwei, Jin Yuwei, the Praetorian Guard, and the fifty percent of the soldiers and horses all moved, surrounding the mansions of many powerful ministers, some of them were charged with rebellious ministers and thieves, and some were imprisoned.

Compared with these, the news that the emperor ceded the throne to Xiao Wei was like a thunderstorm.

In an instant, the news spread throughout the capital.

All the people were talking.

"Your Majesty actually passed the throne to King Han......"

"How can it be King Han, isn't there a prince? In the case of the crown prince, there is another layer of generational relationship......"

"Hey, yes, I actually passed the throne to my nephew, Your Majesty really deserves to be Mingjun......"

In the teahouse and restaurant, everyone was full of emotion, and the old masters, young scholars, and even ordinary people were all surprised and admired the emperor.

Therefore, this is the people of the world, many real things do not know, maybe these truths, after a long time, under the records of historians, there will be a day when the truth will be revealed.

But now, who cares?

Some people remember that Xinjun was the son of Chengen Gong in the past, and he was also a ridiculous romantic character.

It's just that, thinking of this matter, people found that over the years, when the prince of Chengen and the little prince of Zhenbei were together, they had become very low-key.

It doesn't seem to be doing anything out of tune, and it can even be said that he is young and promising.

The merits of those northern frontiers were infinitely magnified at this moment.

Thinking about it this way, the new monarch who is about to ascend the throne is also a very good person.

Of course, there will be people who find it inappropriate.

"The father died and the son succeeded, hey, don't say that the emperor didn't die, even the crown prince is not very old, although he said that there is no heir, won't there be one in the future? As long as the harem is widespread......"

"If you don't have a nephew or a son, you can't say anything."

"With this example, it's all messed up in the future, so what should I do?"

Not to mention the crown prince, there are five princes and four princes, why did the emperor give up the throne to King Han?

Of course, there are also people who talk to Xiao Wei.

"Isn't it nice to establish the king of Han? King Han is the first line of Prince Fengxian, and he is also the head of the line, and this dynasty has always established a lineage of the head of the line. ”

"That's all in their place. What's more, with the merits of King Han in the northern Xinjiang, maybe the Northern Barbarians can be taken by us in the future, and even the bandits on the various islands in the south can be unified by His Royal Highness the King of Han. ”

"His Royal Highness King Han used to follow the eldest princess and his wife in Shuyang, and they were a prestigious ...... in the Southern Army."

All kinds of remarks spread rapidly in the capital, but no one doubted Xiao Xiao's qualifications to succeed to the throne.

……

Not only the people, but even the high-ranking families have different conjectures in their hearts.

It is impossible for the emperor to change his Zen to his nephew when there is a prince, but when the armies besieged the palace, he felt that there must be a turbulent wave in the palace.

However, the edict has been announced, and even the crown prince and others have no unusual voices, so everything is natural.

Every household is thinking about whether they have offended His Royal Highness King Han in the past, or whether it is around him, such as the Zhenbei Palace.

The most frightening thing must be the Cheng'en Mansion.

When the holy decree was delivered to the Cheng'en Mansion, Cheng'en Justice was having breakfast, and although the rebels attacked the city on the first night, it was suppressed not long after.

There was silence ensuing, but Cheng Engong was still frightened.

It was a little late this morning.

Hearing the news, the chopsticks in Cheng Engong's hand fell on the table for a while, making a 'snap' sound.

"What...... Miscellaneous...... What...... Who will succeed him? Who is the new emperor? ”

Cheng Engong stumbled and asked.

His breath was short, and everything he had just eaten was coming up.

"Master, it's His Royal Highness King Han." The housekeeper who came to deliver the news was frightened by Cheng Engong's appearance, and hurriedly helped him to sit down.

After a long while, Cheng Engong reacted, his face turned pale, and his hands covered his neck, as if he was being pinched by someone.

"Oops...... What's going on...... What to do? …… His Royal Highness King Han...... How could it be that he ......"

Cheng Engong couldn't believe it.

At the beginning, the orphan identity of Prince Fengxian had been digested by him for a long time, and now, just after he came out of the identity of King Han, he was thrown into another whirlpool.

Cheng Engong felt so innocent.

But Cheng Engong's place, that is, the Duchess Cheng'en, and the grandmother, are all scared silly.

Especially the eldest grandmother, she grabbed a maid's hand with trembling hands,

"That'...... Wild...... That kid, is he really an emperor? Will he ......"

The eldest grandmother opened her mouth, and the maid trembled with fright, and her soul flew away, so she hurriedly interrupted,

"My grandmother, you can't talk nonsense in the future, if this word spreads, you will die."

The eldest grandmother's face turned pale, she slapped herself, and cried with a sad face,

"I'm just a broken mouth, and I'm talking too fast."

It can also be said that these are actually deeply ingrained in her heart.

If she knew that Xiao Wei was that identity, she would have today, where would she dare to go against Xiao Wei?

She didn't even have time to stutter.

Now that the emperor has issued an edict, then everything becomes so logical.

In the palace, Xu Han accompanied Concubine Yu, and after that day, Concubine Yu fell ill.

She endured it for more than 20 years, just to take revenge, and in the end, all this was empty talk.

Even these last revenge are pushed by someone, and that is just a trap.

Concubine Yu couldn't accept it, and she fell ill.

Xu Han has been accompanying Concubine Yu, looking at Concubine Yu who is immersed in self-blame, and doesn't know how to comfort her.

Xu is her appearance in the eyes of Concubine Yu,

"I know, you have your thoughts, I'm tired of watching things in this palace, conspiracies, struggles, never stop for a day."

"My own life is a mess, and I have no right to let you follow me in a mess."

"So, you just have to live your life well."

"I won't blame you guys anyway."

Since Concubine Yu has started, Xu Han's silence in the past two days has also ended, she looked at Concubine Yu calmly,

"Mother, Ah Wei has succeeded to the throne, and there should be an explanation for your identity."

She can't control others, but Concubine Yu is here, Xiao Wei must want to be justified.

Concubine Yu sighed, hesitated for a while, and couldn't make up her mind,

"If I were to continue to follow the emperor, I didn't really want to, but if it was anything else, didn't the courtiers know it? Will it bring shame to A-Ran? ”

She must be reluctant to leave Xiao Wei, and wanted to watch him in the palace, but she experienced a rebellion with Xu Gelao, so that Concubine Yu didn't know how to face the emperor.

Since it is a Zen position, the prince can leave the palace, but it is impossible for the emperor to leave the palace, and he will live in the palace as the emperor.

What's more, the emperor's body ......

Xu Han asked her,

"What shame, where is it the mother's fault? It is the Emperor Taishang who should be disgraced, even if he bears the stigma. ”

"If you are a victim, you should be upright, just because Ah Wei will be the emperor in the future, and you want to set an example for the people of the world."

"The one who has been hurt should not bear the humiliation. Mother, you should straighten your waist and make the women of the world more courageous. ”

Concubine Yu and Xiao Wei have been separated for more than 20 years, and they finally got together, so they naturally refused to leave him, and they wanted to make up for the time they owed.

After agreeing on these, Xu Han left, and after she left, Concubine Yu was about to close her eyes and rest, and the people in the outer palace said that the emperor had come.

Concubine Yu was silent for a long time, and finally got up and saw the emperor.

The people on the main hall all bowed respectfully, the doors of the five connected maki were wide open, and there was green smoke curling in the gold-dotting flower smoker in the corner of the house.

The emperor looked sick, and Concubine Yu dressed up in the dormitory, looking still graceful and luxurious.

The emperor stared at the twelve floor-to-ceiling screens of the rosewood landscape pavilion in the distance, as if exhaling a breath from his heart,

"I missed you back then, and at that time I wanted to break my mind, but I didn't think about it later, as if God wanted to pity me and give me such a chance."

"When you entered the palace twenty years ago, I said that I would let you live a good rest of your life, and I fulfilled my promise."

"After all these years, a stone has been warmed in your arms, don't you really have a little affection for me?"

Concubine Yu's eyes were stunned,

"I don't want to hear you say this, because I will never forget the death of Prince Fengxian in the first place."

"We've only been husband and wife for a year, and we've been separated by yin and yang."

"You are good to me, I know, but I don't care about that, and I don't want this."

Affection, she didn't know it, she really wanted revenge at first, and at that time she wanted to kill this man all the time.

It's just that Zheng'er was still young at that time, and even if he killed him, it was just to make a wedding dress for someone else.

When year after year passed, revenge was still engraved in her bones, but the blood slowly cooled down.

The better he treats her, the more she tortures herself.

She is a human being, she also has feelings, she is not a wolf-hearted person, if it were not for the death of the old colt, perhaps, she would have given up revenge.

For the guilt of Prince Fengxian, let's wait until I go to the underworld in the future to tell him in person.

Let these grievances end, no longer spread, and do not be pursued.

But the old horse died, which made Concubine Yu wake up from that deep affection.
