Chapter 119: The Last Decree
Yunlou shook his head and waved his hand, "Yin'er is kind...... But she ...... Not necessarily. ”
"Your Majesty, you have always been the most distressed concubine, and this time, please ask the emperor to take back his life for Yin'er." Chu Yin knelt down straight.
"Tone ...... Yin'er! cough cough cough ......"
"Your Majesty, take care of your body." Chu Yin hurriedly stepped up and patted Yunlou's back.
She slowly said: "Your Majesty, Yin'er knows that the emperor feels sorry for Yin'er, and Yin'er is not a stupid person, Yin'er begs the emperor not to make Jue'er the prince, if the emperor is worried about Yin'er and Jue'er's future, Yin'er has an idea, is the emperor willing to listen to it?" ”
Yun Lou looked at Chu Yin and nodded slowly.
Chu Yin stepped forward and spoke softly.
The people outside the hall were waiting in a hurry, and they didn't know what the situation was in the cloud building inside.
Suddenly.
The door of the hall creaked, and it was opened, only to see Chu Yin walking out of the hall with tears on his face.
"How is the emperor?"
Chu Yinyu's eyelashes trembled violently, and tears kept falling out of his eyes, "Your Majesty, you're dead." ”
Rumble!
Like a thunderclap, it fell down.
"What?! Emperor! Liu Fangfei stumbled into the hall.
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Fangfei let out a long sigh after entering the hall. Everyone immediately knelt down and leaned down, "Your Majesty! ”
———
Yunlou died, the whole country mourned, the palace was full, and Chang'an City was full of mourning.
The concubine and the prince knelt outside the Chengming Palace, holding a funeral, crying was everywhere, white pressed the crowd, Chu Yin lowered her head, lowered her eyes, her eyes were red, but not a single tear fell.
After the funeral, Liu Fangfei wiped the tears on her face, "Neiguan Zhu, please ask the emperor to come." ”
Zhu Neiguan bowed his head, entered the Chengming Palace, and took the holy decree of the prince.
"Carried by heaven, the emperor summoned ......"
Everyone listened to the decree quietly and waited for Zhu Neiguan to finish reading the decree.
It has always been a rule for the crown prince to be the next prince.
Liu Fangfei lowered her eyes, and there was a relieved smile on her sad face.
After so many twists and turns, her Feng'er finally sat on this throne!
"Wait."
Suddenly, a voice interjected, "It is a rule for the crown prince to succeed the prince, but the first emperor had the intention of deposing the prince before his death, and I am afraid that this throne still needs to be weighed and discussed." ”
It was Lord Zhou, an important minister in the court, who spoke.
"This statement is wrong, the first emperor's edict is clearly written, the crown prince succeeded the prince, since the first emperor did not depose the prince, the prince obeyed the succession, and the name is justified."
The voices on both sides came out, and the courtiers kneeling on the ground suddenly formed two factions.
"The first emperor has long had the intention of deposing the crown prince, even when he was seriously ill, everyone saw it, if it wasn't for the illness like a wind, the first emperor of this edict was afraid that it would have been changed long ago, and the prince's virtue was lost, and this successor candidate should not be reckless."
The courtiers were at loggerheads.
"Fifth brother, it's good now, I'm afraid it's not so easy for the prince to ascend the throne." Yunhuang said in a low voice.
Yun Rongjue listened to the dispute among the courtiers, his eyes fell on Chu Yin, who looked peaceful, and his thoughts were heavy.
Moment.
"Mrs. Chu is the last person the first emperor saw before his death, I wonder if the first emperor can explain anything to Mrs. Chu?"
"Lord Wu, look at what you asked, although Mrs. Chu was the last person to be with the first emperor, if Mrs. Chu said something, would it be anything?"
"Yes, who doesn't know that in addition to the crown prince, the emperor relies on His Royal Highness King Lin'an, listening to Mrs. Chu's words, it is too hasty, and the truth still needs to be weighed."
Several people had another dispute.
Chu Yin's expression was indifferent, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Your Excellency, listen to what this palace says. ”
Everyone was quiet, and they all looked towards Chu Yin.
Chu Yin sniffled, covered it with a handkerchief, and said in a nasal voice: "The first emperor died suddenly, the palace was heartbroken, the first emperor had a lot of love for the palace during his lifetime, and after the death of the first emperor, the palace cannot violate his last wish." ”
As soon as Chu Yin's words came out, almost everyone's nerves tensed, and Liu Fangfei stared at Chu Yin.
"The first emperor said a lot of things to the palace before his death, and also talked about the storage position," Chu Yin said slowly, "How important is the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it is not allowed to be hasty, and there is a last holy decree left on the occasion of the death of the first emperor." ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Mrs. Chu, don't be sad and confused, here are the princes and concubines, as well as the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Mrs. Chu speaks, but think twice, don't mess up your mind and talk nonsense."
"Yes, where is this holy purpose? Mrs. Chu knew that if it was a false proclamation, it would be a great crime to forge the holy decree. ”
Chu Yin calmed down, said a few words to Zhu Neiguan, and asked him to go to Changle Palace to get the holy decree.
Zhu Neiguan took the holy decree, and everyone looked at the prime minister from afar.
"Whether this holy decree is true or not, whether it is written by the first emperor himself, and the seal, the ministers will know at a glance," Chu Yin said, "It's troublesome for Zhu Neiguan." ”
"It's so decent, why do you have more holy decrees?" Yun Huang frowned.
Yun Rongjue's face was calm, and his eyes fell on Chu Yin's side, although Chu Yin had tears on his face, his eyes were ......
Zhu Neiguan read out the holy decree.
There was silence down there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this holy decree is the emperor's own handwriting, that is, this seal is true, if you don't believe it, you can take a look." Zhu Neiguan said as he walked to the side of several important ministers with the holy decree.
"Several ministers have also seen it in person, do they still think that this holy decree was forged by this palace?" Chu Yin said.
"The ministers receive the emperor's holy decree, long live my emperor."
"The ministers receive the emperor's holy decree, long live my emperor."
……
Yun Rongjue's eyes were calm, the hands that fell on both sides slowly tightened, and Yun Huang beside him looked even more anxious, "This ...... Imperial Brother?! How did my father make such a holy decree! ”
The last holy decree of Yunlou was not to depose the crown prince Yun Feng, but to establish Yun Rongjue as the emperor's younger brother, and imprisoned Liu Fangfei in the palace, not to step out of the palace gate for half a step, and the new emperor succeeded to the throne and enshrined Chu Yin as the queen mother.
"Impossible! Chu Yin, this is a false decree you fabricated, right! The emperor has not deposed Feng'er, how can he imprison this palace, and only respect you as the queen mother! Liu Fangfei was in a hurry.
"This is the holy decree of the first emperor, the handwriting and seals can be appraised by the ministers, the concubine does not have the courage to forge the holy decree, as for what the queen said, the concubine is not the first emperor, the decision of the first emperor is like this, and the concubine cannot control it." Chu Yin said.
The handwriting and seals on the decree are all correct, and the ministers have no negative voices.
Ten days later, the new emperor ascended the throne.
————
Yun Feng ascended the throne, complied with the edict of the first emperor, and honored Mrs. Chu as the queen mother.
"The Queen Mother, the Garment Bureau has sent you a new crown dress made by the Queen Mother, take a look." Caitang walked in.
Chu Yin only glanced at it, and then asked people to put it away, she walked to the window, there was snow falling outside, the snow scene was very beautiful, but if it was touched, it was cold to the bone.
In front of her eyes, it was the picture of Yunlou after he finished writing the holy decree that day.
At the last moment, she took off all her disguises, and in her eyes, there was only hatred for him!
"Yin'er, you...... You're still blaming me......"
"Shouldn't the concubine blame you?! If it weren't for you, how could I be at this point today, imprisoned in the four heavens! ”
"You want to leave ......"
"Yes, I never wanted to be here! But you, you locked me up in this palace! It was you who ruined me and ruined all my happiness! ”
"Happiness? Yin'er, are you still thinking about that man?! Yun Lou's eyes were angry.
Chu Yin laughed, "Do you think I forgot?" I can't forget him in my life, if you hadn't taken me with royal power, he and I could have been an ordinary couple and loved each other for a lifetime! You ruined me! ”
"Ahem, ahem...... Yin'er, I am infatuated with you, over the years, except for you, I have never really treated other women! Ahem, he's been dead for years, you shouldn't ...... You shouldn't still be thinking about him! ”
Chu Yin's eyes were full of cold light: "It is impossible for me to forget him in my life, Yunlou, every day by your side, I am extremely disgusted and disgusting, and every moment I am by your side, I am wearing a false mask." ”
"You-"
"Do you think that when I have your child, I can change all this? I'm disgusted with you, even your child, I'm disgusting, it's ridiculous that you are smart all your life, but you have been led by my nose, your attitude towards Yun Rongjue depends on my mood, it's really ridiculous. ”
"When he was nine years old, I persuaded you to send him to Nanjiang as a hostage for various reasons, and you agreed, do you know what kind of life your good son is living over there? Heh......"
Every word of Chu Yin's ridicule and words that revealed the truth was like one sharp blade after another plunging straight into Yunlou's heart.
In the end, Yunlou died of anger.
Syllable!
"! Your hands are bleeding! Caitang saw her hold off the branch in her hand, and the sharp place of the branch pierced her palm with blood.
Chu Yin let Caitang clean her wounds for her.
After Yun Rongjue was named the emperor's younger brother, his status was even more noble.
"Brother Huang, it sounds like an extremely noble and prominent identity." Yuan Jing said.
"Brother Huang, eh, I can't figure it out, obviously my father is so dissatisfied with the crown prince, and he has the intention of deposing him, and he has given such an order to the queen, why didn't he abolish the prince, but still let the prince ascend the throne, leaving only the fifth brother as a royal brother." Yun Huang said.
Yun Rongjue stroked the edge of the tea bowl, his eyes dark.
Yuan Jing raised his head, looked at Yun Rongjue, who had a slightly heavy look in his eyes, and sighed lightly, "Fifth brother, our situation will be more dangerous in the future." ”
The imperial brother is extremely noble in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, the imperial prince can be a candidate for the throne, that is to say, the imperial prince is likely to succeed to the throne.
It is precisely because of this layer that people in this position are even more in danger.
The current emperor is Yun Feng, if Yun Feng has a good relationship with them, and it doesn't matter, but partially, they are opponents, Yun Rongjue is in the position of the emperor's younger brother, for Yun Feng, it is a threat!
Before Yun Feng ascended the throne, he was afraid of Yun Rongjue everywhere, and now that he has ascended to that high position, that fear will only increase, not less.
"My father has always favored the fifth brother, even if he wants to raise the identity of the fifth brother, he shouldn't put the fifth brother in danger like this, what does the father think." Yunhuang muttered.
Yunlou has passed away, and naturally no one can tell them this reason.
The night is getting deeper.
Jiang Wu made the mattress for Yun Rongjue, she walked outside and saw Yun Rongjue standing against the door, "Your Highness, the mattress has been laid, it's late at night, Your Highness should rest early." ”
Yun Rongjue turned around and saw the little girl's delicate and clean eyebrows. He unconsciously raised his hand and ran his fingertips slightly over her eyelids, "My sister's eyes are clear, it's so good." ”
"Huh?" Jiang Wu was slightly flustered, a little puzzled by his sudden words.
Yun Rongjue didn't say anything more, and took the little girl's hand and walked inside.
This night, he hugged her and slept in her arms.
Jiang Wuwo leaned on his arms, she raised her head lightly, and the two looked at each other, "Your Highness is very tired." "His exhaustion during this time is clearly visible.
The first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and he was named the emperor's younger brother, and many things gathered on him.
"Hmm." He snorted.
Only in front of her can he relax and be at ease, without concealment.
She didn't understand the affairs of the court, and she couldn't help him if she wanted to, so she raised her little hand and touched his eyebrows, "The slave maid helps His Highness rub it." ”
Yun Rongjue chuckled and let the little girl move.
In the end, rubbing and rubbing, the little girl in her arms was Goo Dong and fell asleep by herself.
Yun Rongjue looked at it, his eyes were soft, and after staring for a moment, he leaned over, his thin lips fell a shallow kiss, and his thick big palm and her small hand were tightly clasped.
……
After Yun Feng ascended the throne, according to the will of the emperor, he respected Chu Yin as the queen mother, and also respected Chu Yin.
"I heard that you are busy during this time, and you have lost a lot of weight, eat more." Chu Yin took a chopstick dish and put it on the small plate in front of Yun Rongjue.
"Thank you for your mother's care."
Although the two are mother and son, this is too polite and alienated, and they don't look like a biological mother and son.
"Now that you are the emperor's younger brother, your identity is different, you should pay more attention, and you must also assist the emperor in handling the government well." Chu Yin nodded.
"Yes, Erchen knows."
Chu Yin chuckled and nodded, "This imperial brother is not easy to have, you are the grace of the emperor." ”
"Grace? The queen mother, the identity of the emperor's younger brother came really suddenly, and when the father died, only the queen mother was by his side, I don't know if this grace was given by the father or ...... The queen mother kindly asked for her son's ministers. ”
Chu Yin paused, and after a while, he said slowly, "It's okay, you are now the emperor's younger brother, and there is no point in studying too much about the rest." ”
Yun Rongjue drank a glass of wine, "Mother concubine, do you know that in addition to his noble status, the imperial brother also has one point, and it is also the most fatal point?" ”
Chu Yin was silent, and Yun Rongjue continued: "Throughout the ages, there have not been many emperors' younger brothers, and among the only three people, two of them died in the hall. ”
"Although the status of the emperor's younger brother is noble, he is also the easiest to be feared by the emperor, doesn't the queen mother know?"
Chu Yin lowered his eyes and was silent.
After a long time, he softened, "This wine is strong, Jue'er is confused, Caixia, bring a bowl of sobering soup to His Highness." ”
Chu Yin was pretending to be stupid, pretending not to know, he could see it.
After Caixia brought the decanting soup, Yun Rongjue drank it, "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters have retired first." ”
Chu Yin bowed his head, and Yun Rongjue left.
It's snowing outside.
Return to Lin'an Palace.
There was peace in the palace.
As I approached the courtyard, I heard the sound of laughter.
When I got closer, it was the little girl and a few maidservants who were building a snowman, "Your Highness! ”
"Your Highness!"
Yun Rongjue approached, "This snowman is built well." ”
Jiang Wu looked at him with a smile, "It's snowing today, why don't you try it too, it's fun." ”
Yun Rongjue chuckled, didn't respond, and walked straight towards the back room.
Jiang Wu hurriedly followed.
Yun Rongjue sat on the side, supporting his forehead with one hand, his eyebrows frowning, and he was in a displeasured mood.
Jiang Wu was guarding and watching, she knew that he had entered the palace to see the Queen Mother today, and the relationship between their mother and son had always been bad.
Yun Rongjue, who had been silent for a while, said, "Bring some wine." ”
Jiang Wu was slightly stunned, when he came back, the smell of alcohol on his body was already obvious.
"Is Your Highness in a bad mood?" She asked, crouching down, leaning over.
Yun Rongjue looked at her, "My sister is obedient." ”
Jiang Wu's lips bulged, and he reached out to take his hand and stood up, "Your Highness and the slave maid are here." ”
Yun Rongjue stood up, puzzled, but still followed the little girl.
Walking outside the house, Jiang Wu squatted down and picked up a ball of snow with both hands, kneaded it into a snow ball, and then leaned in front of Yun Rongjue, "If Your Highness feels that you are in a bad mood, you can play a snowball, so it will be much better to vent it!" ”
"Snowballing?" Yun Rongjue lowered his eyes.
"yes, it's like this!"
Jiang Wu picked up his little arm and waved it hard, throwing the snowball out. Bang!
Yu Lie, who was standing not far away, was hit by a snowball and froze in place.
Jiang Wu sneered, "It's like this, Your Highness try." She picked up another hand of snow.
Yun Rongjue looked down at the little girl in front of her, the little girl's eyebrows and eyes were clear, and her talking eyes were full of light, which made it impossible to refuse.
He took the snow from the little girl's hand, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it away.
Syllable!
The snowball smashed into Yu Lie again.
Yu Lie: "......"
Jiang Dance Group threw a small snowball at Yu Lie as well.
Yu Lie: "......"
Yu Lie walked over and casually picked up a snowball and smashed it directly on Jiang Wu.
"Yikes!"
Jiang Wu refused to admit defeat, and followed suit and lost Yu Lie's mess.
The two of you come and go, Yun Rongjue watched the little girl lose to Yu Lie, and threw out the snowballs in her left and right hands.
snapped twice, and Yu Lie was hit.
"Sister continues." Yun Rongjue raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jiang Wu smiled happily, and with Yun Rongjue's support, she threw it even more happily.
Jiang Wu lost Yu Lie, Yu Lie lost Jiang Wu, and Yun Rongjue helped Jiang Wu lose Yu Lie.
Yu Lie said that it is so difficult to be a man!
Laughter filled the entire palace.
After the play, Yun Rongjue's whole person was much more relaxed.
Jiang Wu leaned in front of him, "Your Highness, don't you feel a lot more relaxed, this kind of catharsis is no worse than drinking, and it doesn't hurt your body." ”
Yun Rongjue chuckled and nodded.
After that, Jiang Wu prepared hot water for Yun Rongjue and waited for him to finish bathing.
"Only at this time can the main hall really relax." Yun Rongjue leaned on the couch, his eyes slightly closed, and his voice was not as heavy as just now.
"Your Highness......"
Jiang Wu raised his eyes and looked at Yun Rongjue.
Since the death of the first emperor, his emotions seem to have become heavier, and he seems to be very tired every day.
Jiang Wu felt sorry for him.
————
After Yun Feng succeeded to the throne, he followed the example of the first emperor to govern the country and stabilize the dynasty and the outside.
But this stability only lasted for two months. Yun Feng began to implement his own new policy.
It is also common for the new emperor to promote the new policy, but the new policy promoted by Yun Feng has many drawbacks.
The courtiers discussed it and hoped that it would be changed, but Yun Feng heard it and didn't listen.
