Chapter 425: The Battle for the Throne 1
Gu Huaisheng lowered his head and pecked her, laughing and teasing, "Does A-Ning miss me too?" ”
"Not really." She retorted urgently, not daring to look at his gaze, don't look over, to the point that there is no silver three hundred taels here.
After this farewell, Gu Huaisheng noticed that her snow-white neck was white without a trace of flaws, which made people especially want to leave traces.
From the time she found out that she was pregnant, they hadn't been together for a long time, even if they could grind their ears and temples, but it was still not as beautiful as her, he really missed her, this kind of thing, when the marrow knows the taste and then forbears, it is actually very torturous.
Especially at this energetic age.
He struggled, lowered his head and rubbed her lips hard, took his hand out of her clothes, got up to help her tidy up, and said fiercely: "Wait a few more days, wait a few days and give it to you." ”
Tang Yanning's face turned red.
Gu Huaisheng helped her tidy up and said, "Next time I come out dressed like this, I will be punished." ”
Thinking of the man who had just filled the room, she rushed in, her neckline was slightly open, he saw her little clothes, and he didn't know if the guards saw it, he felt angry when he thought about it.
Tang Yanning knew that he was really reckless just now, and he didn't dare to argue anything, so he obediently responded.
Gu Huaisheng calmed down for a while before he dared to hug the person into his arms and slowly tell what happened yesterday.
After the death of the emperor, the civil officials were the leaders, and Tang Heng took the lead in standing up, thinking that the country could not be left without an owner for a day, and suggested that the prince should choose a day to ascend the throne as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of the people.
As soon as he spoke up, the ministers who were looking forward to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally followed suit, and everything seemed to be a smooth thing, but the five princes made a look.
There was a little eunuch in Xingde Palace who understood and came out with a holy decree, saying that it was the edict of the first emperor, and everyone in the court listened to the decree.
The ministers knelt down one after another to listen to the little eunuch read the decree.
The content of the decree is that the emperor wants to change the five princes as the crown prince, saying that the prince is unkind, and intends to imprison him in order to seize power, and that Zhao Jingxiu is from a humble background after all, and the mother concubine is a slave, if he really ascends to the throne, it will definitely provoke ridicule from all countries, so I thought about it again and again and decided to change the fifth prince Zhao Jingxuan as the crown prince.
The holy decree briefly praised the five princes again, what kindness and love, the common people, the moral integrity, etc., after the praise and consolidated a few sentences, I know that time is short, I hope that after I leave, all Aiqing can assist the five princes together, govern the Great Wei with one heart, and seek the well-being of the people.
After reading the holy decree, the princeling party was naturally unconvinced, and began to question, leaving aside the question of birth, the crime of imprisonment alone was not established, the emperor was just seriously ill, and he was more and more lazy to move around, not the prince's imprisonment, this matter was justified, and it was not allowed to spray people with blood, so the two parties began to fight on the basis of reason, and the court and China were divided into two factions for a while.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no expression after hearing this, or it could be said that he was indifferent, his eyebrows and eyes were faint, with a trace of disdain, he looked at the arguments of the ministers under the court for a long time, and waved his hand at Ran's father-in-law, and Ran Gonggong also went to get a holy decree.
As soon as the bright yellow scroll was spread out, the five princes inexplicably felt uneasy, but it was Rong Taishi, who was still there.
Generally, many of the holy decrees issued are written by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the emperor only needs to seal them at the end, but this holy decree of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed written by the emperor himself.
The content of the holy decree wrote the plan of the five princes to a drip, stating that the tea given to him by the five princes was quenched with the poison of the Western Regions psychedelic flower powder, so that he unconsciously became dependent, and the toxicity was deep, and it lasted for two years, invading the bone marrow, and returning to the sky was weak, I knew that time was short, so I had to leave an edict in advance to stabilize the position of the prince, and after I went, I hoped that the ministers would work together to assist the prince, so that the Great Wei would be magnificent again.
The emperor even wrote in advance that only this holy decree is true, and everything else will be invalidated.
Because he himself can feel that he has less and less time to be awake, and most of the time is muddy, in order to prevent being used by the five princes, he specially left this edict as evidence.
In an instant, the ministers understood, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to check the cause of the death of the former emperor just now, but the fifth prince refused to stop him, it turned out that the poison was caused by him.
Thinking of the filial piety of the five princes before, the filial piety of picking the tea leaves served by himself was praised by many people, but what was sent was poison, which made people feel chills down their spines when they thought about it.
This was Rong Taishi's first strategy, and he didn't need to use a single soldier to take the throne, so he asked Xuan'er to quench the psychedelic pollen of the emperor's filial piety tea early, and the amount was increased in turn, and in the end, when the old emperor relied on it, let him cover the jade seal on the holy decree of changing the prince.
The two holy decrees are different, the five princes are obviously at a disadvantage, their eyebrows and eyes are no longer as indisputable as before, elegant and leisurely, and they begin to show a fierce gaze and ambition for power.
He shook the pot first, saying that he would never give his father the medicine, picking tea every year, accompanied by palace people, he had witnesses, and then he threw out a real hammer evidence, that is, his father had given him the jade seal in private.
If the emperor gave the jade seal to the five princes, the holy decree of the five princes must be more believable, and the holy decree of His Royal Highness the prince will be subject to study.
The prince didn't move, and said lightly: "Then take it up and let the people have a look." After saying that, he didn't look at the five princes, his eyes kept staring at the incense burner of the double dragon playing with pearls on the side of the case, the white smoke was wafting, there was a faint fragrance of flowers, the prince had been busy with court affairs recently, this was the condensing incense sent by Imperial Doctor Shen, His Royal Highness the prince had been placed for many days, and the ministers had long been used to it.
The fifth prince had already asked people to pick it up when he was talking, and a little eunuch hurriedly went out and came back in a hurry, holding an extremely delicate and valuable sandalwood brocade box in his hand, and after opening it, there was a jade seal inside.
The ministers gasped.
Is the emperor really so mediocre? actually gave the heirloom jade seal to the prince.
The prince's performance in the court during this period of time is obvious to everyone, but anyone who really thinks about Dawei and is a reasonable official knows that His Royal Highness the prince is the most suitable candidate, why, why is the emperor so confused?
Zhao Jingxiu didn't even glance at the jade seal of the brocade box, and waved his hand to let Grandpa Ran also take a brocade box out, and when he opened it, it was also a jade seal.
The luster is translucent, turquoise and shiny, and there is a feeling of authenticity at a glance.
Gonggong Ran pinched his thin voice and mocked: "The real jade seal is here, Fifth Highness, haven't you noticed that the seal under your jade seal is missing a corner?" ”
The five princes' eyes widened, and he hurriedly turned over the jade seal to see that it was indeed missing a corner, very small is a corner, he was very excited at the time, he didn't pay attention to it, besides, he never had the opportunity to look at the jade seal carefully, but he saw a little different at that time, and he was afraid that he couldn't remember that this jade seal was a fake.
