Chapter 603: Acting as the Crown Prince
Watching those ministers rush in, Duanmu Qing stood under the eaves of the corridor not far away, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, it is today, and finally everything has become settled.
Baimei finally had to enter the palace, standing next to Duanmu Qing, I don't know what she was smiling at this time, but I just felt that there was a sense of relief in her smile.
Such a smile swept away the haze of the days.
"Miss, what are you laughing at?" After a long time, Bai Mei couldn't help but ask.
"I'm waiting for news." Duanmu Qing didn't immediately turn his face to look at her, and only after a while did he answer with a smile that was plausible.
"Huh?" Bai Mei really didn't understand, "What do you mean?" ”
smiled and shook his head and said, "You are not Lan'er after all, otherwise, I think she will be able to know what I mean by this at this time." ”
"Now, I'm just afraid that it may not be, she is now worried about her stomach every day, and after a while, she is afraid of giving birth to a monster, I really don't know what to do with her."
A man's voice broke in, and the two of them turned around to see that it was Meng Qing.
"So, did King Luo hide here? This is not very good, maybe the second lady is crying at home at this time! Don't you really go back to comfort and comfort? ”
"In the past, I only thought that Lan'er's temperament was too good, but now that she has become a parent, she is pregnant with a child like this, I am afraid that the rebels who have been suppressed in my heart for many years ran out, and then happened to be bumped into by the emperor's uncle."
Although Meng Qing was complaining in his mouth, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, and sure enough, one thing fell into this world.
"Why isn't Uncle Huang in here?" Duanmu Qing only reacted to this question at this time, and asked curiously.
"What's so strange about this, I don't need it at all." Meng Qing shook his head with a smile, "If I go again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to step down." ”
Baimei only felt that these two people didn't say anything good, and they wanted to play dumb riddles here, and she felt irritable in her heart.
After a long time, they still didn't come out, Bai Mei simply brought out a lot of food, and the three of them chatted and ate.
It wasn't until the sun was falling that the door of the main hall opened.
The ministers left one after another, all with expressions of unknown meaning on their faces.
Han Lingxian and Zhou Yu were the last to come out, he walked straight to them, and when he saw them enjoying themselves, he couldn't help but laugh: "I really don't know what to say about you, I'm in the mood to eat snacks here." ”
Duanmu Qing smiled and said, "What if you don't dare?" Do you want to jump on your feet? ”
Han Ling had nothing to say, so he had to laugh.
Meng Qing hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Why Does It Take So Long? Is there anyone who disagrees? ”
Glancing at the three of them, Han Ling said wantonly: "Actually, there really is, because although the prince said that he died violently, after all, some people still knew that he was hidden by the queen and went to the people."
Therefore, there are really two people who ask the queen to hand him over. ”
"I guess one of these two people must be Guo Shizhong." Duanmu Qing said with a smile.
Han Lingyan immediately nodded: "Sure enough, it was a guess, but the queen insisted that the prince had already died violently, and they had no choice but to accept the queen's excuse."
Later, it was decided whether this matter could be so hasty, some people said that it was to wait until Han Yuan woke up, but the queen said that after the joint consultation of the Tai Hospital, the chances of waking up were not very high.
Then Prime Minister Murong elaborated on a few points about the tense situation between Xiqi and Dongli, which was given this matter. ”
Everyone was not surprised by this result, but they didn't expect that there would be so many curves in the middle, which was unexpected.
Baimei still hasn't made much of a fuss, but she doesn't plan to understand more, so she stretched her waist and asked, "I only care about when we can go back."
I've been in this palace for days, and I feel like I'm going to be restrained to death. ”
Han Lingyan glanced at Duanmu Qing, and just as her eyes also came, between the two smiles, they knew each other's intentions tacitly.
That night, Duanmu Qing went back to King Hao's Mansion and came back with Baimei.
For so many days in the palace, although I ate well, dressed well, and lived well, I still didn't feel as comfortable as my own home.
I got a good night's sleep and woke up the next day with my meal ready.
At this time, Han Lingxi and Duanmu Qing were both having breakfast at home, which was really a bit unusual.
But the two masters obviously didn't plan to explain well, so no one would ask, only dare to mumble in their stomachs.
The mystery was revealed half an hour after breakfast.
The bright yellow decree stained everyone's cheeks, and everyone seemed to be a little incredulous, just like that, their own prince was named the prince? The princess became the crown princess?
After receiving the holy decree, Han Lingxi took Duanmu Qing into the palace once, naturally to thank the emperor and empress, and then to meet the first emperor.
It's just that Han Yuan is still sick and can't wake up at the moment, so everything is simple, originally he still had to sacrifice to the sky, but now he obviously doesn't need it.
After becoming the crown prince, it is naturally more straightforward to deal with things, relatively speaking, it seems that the prince has more power to handle government affairs than the queen.
And Zhou Yu was unusual, at this time, she seemed very indifferent to the imperial power, and almost handed over everything to Han Lingxi, and she completely became the shopkeeper.
After the prince's affairs were implemented, the entire court was much more stable.
At the same time, Xiqi's affairs took a turn at this time, originally Zhao Yuheng died after Dongli, and Dongli immediately sent envoys to Xiqi.
But it was obvious that the Empress Dowager Xiqi was unwilling to accept Dongli's apology, and after killing three envoys in a row, she immediately gathered the army and went directly to Dongli to kill.
Compared with Zhou Yu, the queen mother has investigated more than 108,000 miles, just like the madness of a mother who loves her son after losing her child, and attacks Dongli.
Under such circumstances, Dongli naturally won many battles against them, not to mention that the Chu family army stationed at the border was still the most domineering Chu family army in the entire Dongli.
Xiqi has lost a lot of money in recent years because of Zhao Yuheng's poor management, and then there have been several natural disasters, and many places have long been in poverty.
Under such circumstances, Empress Dowager Tong launched a war, which was actually the greatest harm to the people of Xiqi.
The death of an emperor who has done nothing may make the people feel sad, but if their son is forcibly conscripted into the army, the grain that has been harvested with great difficulty is about to be stored well for the winter, and suddenly it is requisitioned again, which is obviously more likely to make people angry.
In this way, the army loses its morale in the first place, and all the soldiers do not know what they are fighting for, as if they are just trying to eat three meals in the army.
How can such an army not retreat?
How can such a war not arouse the resentment of the people?
Under such circumstances, there was civil strife in Xiqi.
The cause is a bit absurd, it turned out to be a white peacock in the early hall of Xiqi, and the peacock held a branch in its mouth, and a trace similar to the character "three" grew on the branch.
It seems like a miracle, the world is so big, there are so many forests, and the trees are different, so you don't know what they will look like.
But to be able to be held in the mouth by such a white peacock, and then appear accurately on the main hall, this is incredible.
In fact, anyone who is a little smarter knows that it is not very difficult to accomplish this, but this matter has spread so carelessly, and it has spread very quickly among the people like a plague.
In this way, everything that was originally nothing suddenly became mysterious.
And just when the entire Xiqi was in turmoil, one person stood up at the right time, and that was Zhao Yufeng, the third prince before Xiqi.
He has disappeared in the entire Xiqi for a long, long time, if it weren't for this incident, if he didn't happen to be recognized, everyone would hardly know that Xiqi once had a gentle and jade-like third prince.
And the three of the three princes seem to correspond to the three on the branch that the peacock holds in its mouth.
At the same time, some good people reopened the events of the year, and the matter of Zhao Yufeng's rebellion immediately got a reasonable explanation, or even just a misunderstanding.
In this way, the slogan that the country cannot be without a king for a day has become louder and louder.
It seems that all of a sudden, the ministers who were originally very honest in the court suddenly woke up, reminding everyone that there is still a third prince in this world.
And the people even learned that after the third prince left for many years, he was still able to get such a high voice, which shows that the third prince is really a monarch worthy of trust.
Therefore, even the people have spontaneously produced many groups to support the Three Princes.
Zhao Yufeng seems to be logical like this, and it seems that he has become the emperor of Xiqi step by step.
It didn't even take more than a month.
Duanmu Qing read the letter written by Duanmu He, and after seeing his analysis of the cause and effect of this matter, he didn't know what to do.
Unexpectedly, after going around and around for two lifetimes, this Zhao Yufeng actually became the emperor, and suddenly remembered what he said to himself that morning, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
In the past two days, she herself felt a little uncomfortable, so Zhou Yu let her come back, and was about to lie down at this time, but Baimei hurriedly ran in: "Princess! Oh no. ”
Since Han Lingyan was named the crown prince, she no longer called herself "Miss", but replaced it with "Crown Princess", which sounds more atmospheric.
"What's the matter, tell me slowly."
"Han Yuan is dying." 638
