Chapter 611: Crisis (4)

That day in the Qianqing Palace, he faced the cold-faced Emperor Xian, even if he was protected by guards and the Emperor was surrounded by heavily, he still did not dare to face the cold and ruthless eyes of the Emperor.

He didn't even dare to compete for the jade seal in the hands of the first emperor.

It was a nightmare.

The nightmare that Emperor Longqing didn't want to recall, had tormented him for many years, and only the woman's warm and supple body could make him forget the humiliation he had had.

Therefore, at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he indulged in beauty, and his harem was filled with talented women.

The first emperor knew that Emperor Longqing would not let go of the prince, and only asked him to keep the prince's bloodline, otherwise their father and son would be dead.

Although the first emperor was sick and his life was short, if he really worked hard with the son of the ** palace, Emperor Longqing might not be able to win completely.

Therefore, in front of the first emperor, Emperor Longqing could only kneel and swear a poisonous oath to ensure that the prince's bloodline continued.

The father still loves the crown prince the most, and of course the King of Qi, the most doted son of the first emperor during his lifetime.

He promised the first emperor that as long as the king of Qi did not rebel, he would not touch a single hair of the king of Qi.

However, Emperor Longqing also allowed the Queen Mother to rub the biological mother of King Qi and the concubine, and watched from the sidelines that King Qi and his wife were tortured and their livelihood was difficult.

When the prince of the dynasty, in addition to having the title of prince, the first emperor Longzi could only eat the most shabby food every month, and was often bullied by the small officials.

The people of the world have forgotten how beautiful King Qi was when the first emperor was alive.

The queen mother saw that the emperor didn't want to talk anymore, she leaned on the pillow, her face changed again and again, and she looked at the door of the main hall frequently, "All the people who come into contact with her should die, and the emperor can't show mercy to his subordinates." ”

Emperor Longqing was silent, and the Queen Mother was chattering.

His fingers tapped lightly on the kang table, the sound of the knock was neither light nor heavy, and his closed eyes were even more majestic.

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and stopped.

Emperor Longqing did not say that he had dreamed of making a poisonous oath again recently.

In the dream, the face of the first emperor was blurred, but the first emperor's eyes were always staring at him.

Everything around him was blurred, as if he was the only one kneeling in the open space, and he couldn't even see his former face, only the vows he had made echoed in his ears over and over again.

The roof of the Qianqing Palace suddenly became transparent, and the oath was like wings, flying to the sky full of gods and Buddhas.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Emperor Longqing was shocked, and suddenly woke up, and his trance-like eyes became clear when he saw the person in front of him and the familiar furnishings.

"Zheng'er?!"

"You're asleep." Lu Zheng half-knelt and reminded softly: "The commander of the Jinyi Guard has already arrested the person, and now he is waiting outside the palace?" ”

Emperor Longqing sighed, the corner of his eyes swept over the Eighth Prince, and grabbed Lu Zheng's arm, "Zheng'er is with me...... Would you like to come back to me? ”

The Eighth Prince and the Queen Mother shivered at the same time, and the elegant and handsome face of the Eighth Prince could not hide the gloom and nervousness.

"Emperor, this ...... Not. ”

Emperor Longqing waved his hand to shut up the Queen Mother, looked into Lu Zheng's eyes similar to him, and said hoarsely: "When you were crowned, I asked you once, Zheng'er, this is the most time I have asked you." ”

Lu Zheng replied calmly: "The minister's answer has never changed. ”

"You ......" Emperor Longqing was a little disappointed, and there was also a little indescribable strange emotion, and said dejectedly: "That's it, it's up to you." ”

The best son is not in his name and has no right to inherit the throne.

Could it be that the poisonous oath that changed hands in the end will really be fulfilled?

There are several adult princes under his knees, some of whom are unbearable, and some of whom are only ambitious and have no ability to govern the country, but the eighth prince, the fourth prince, the second prince, the tenth prince and a few others are carefully adjusted, and they may not be able to be a conservative emperor.

Emperor Longqing pressed his bulging temples, was it due to the influence of dreams?

If his descendants cannot inherit the throne, how will his posthumous name be maintained?

Even his spiritual position may not be able to be enshrined in the Taimiao Emperor Pavilion.

Just as he attributed the spiritual position of the former emperor and the crown prince to an ordinary clan, few people would pay tribute, tampered with the history books of the first emperor's dynasty, tried his best to belittle the first emperor and the crown prince, and proved with a large number of 'facts' that he was the son of heaven to whom the destiny of heaven belonged.

Outside the screen, Gu Zhan's aggrieved voice came, "The Queen Mother misunderstood, you don't know the temperament of your father, he is a good old man who is loyal to the emperor, and no one can offend, so as to gain a foothold in the court." ”

"You said that he was loyal to the crown prince of the first emperor, Prince Rong posthumously by His Majesty, and the minister has never heard him mention Prince Rong since he can remember."

While Emperor Longqing was napping, the Queen Mother called Gu Zhan and sharply asked if the old marquis Gu was related to Prince Rong.

"You don't use these words to prevaricate the mourners." The Queen Mother found that Emperor Longqing had woken up, so she simply stopped lowering her voice, "You have deceived Your Majesty for many years, and until now you still want to deceive Your Majesty, the Mourning family has mistaken you, Gu Zhan!" ”

"Don't think that the mourning family doesn't know that your father once went to the East Palace, and the children born in Prince Rong's outer room are ......"

"Ahh

Gu Siye was surprised and said, "Does Prince Rong also need to raise an outer room?" ”

The Queen Mother snapped for a moment, slapped Gu Zhan fiercely, and said that the emperor was all taken by Gu Zhan.

"The minister is stupid, I don't understand the deep meaning of her queen, Prince Rong was still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that day, and the minister's father was the courtier of the former emperor, was sent to the East Palace to visit His Royal Highness the Prince, is there something wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died of illness, the first emperor was grief-stricken, and after passing the throne to His Majesty, he passed on the throne to His Majesty, and handed over all the heavy responsibilities of the country to His Majesty. And His Majesty did not live up to the first emperor, now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, when the minister entered the palace, he also heard that the Northwest Fan State submitted to His Majesty, and offered the holy daughter of the world. ”

Gu Siye was not nervous, he tried to empty his mind as much as possible, and his eyes were pure, "Even if Prince Rong has an orphan alive, His Majesty will take good care of it and will not allow others to bully him." ”

The Queen Mother's index finger pointed at Gu Zhan, the loose muscles on her face trembled, and she couldn't say a word.

Gu Siye lowered his head, and said: "As a son, you shouldn't say that your father is not, Niangniang seems to regard her father as a capable minister, and she thinks that her father is very capable and can influence Prince Rong." ”

"You have a deep misunderstanding of your father, your father has no achievements in the first imperial dynasty, if he has the ability, it will not be that the marquis will not be able to pass on to the eldest brother."

"The only commendable thing about the minister's father is to be kind to others and not to offend others, but this character is the most unproductive and is looked down upon."

Emperor Longqing stood behind the screen and listened for a long time, then said with a smile: "Queen Mother, don't be embarrassed about Gu Zhan anymore, he didn't even know about standing beside me in the court before, and he was not qualified in the court, what can he understand?" ”

"The Emperor's ......"

"I believe in Gu Zhan's loyalty, and I also believe that Gu Zhan's father is a good man."

Emperor Longqing faced the Queen Mother, "Prince Rong is my imperial brother, always will be, I hope that he will have a bloodline heir to inherit out of sincerity, after all, my father's heart is this matter, I did not disappoint my father in state affairs, and I should also treat my brother well." ”

"I'll call King Qi into the palace in a while, I haven't seen King Qi for a while."
