Chapter 216: The Emperor Taishang Returns to the Dynasty
On October 20, the tenth year of orthodoxy, there was a coup d'Γ©tat in Baibe, and Queen Zhulan led everyone to break into the tent of King Danshang and killed King Danshang, and Queen Zhulan waited on the throne and called Queen Baibe.
Queen Zhulan expressed her sincerity in making friends with Da Xin, and said that she would return the Emperor Taishang, just hoping that Da Xin could recognize Queen Zhulan's orthodox throne.
Earlier, when the first king of Baibe was still alive, Zhulan and Danshang were two brothers and sisters, and Zhulan was born to the queen of the first king of Baibe, with a noble status, and was favored by the first king of Baibu since she was a child, and she was the most noble woman in Baibe. And the king of Danshang is just the son of a concubine, and there are several outstanding brothers above, but later due to various reasons, these princes were killed or injured, and it was only Danshang's turn to inherit the throne.
And Zhulan was originally a princess who protected the country, and she was married to a warrior on the grassland, but if Zhulan Fujun died early, Princess Zhulan could only be alone. Later, for the sake of the stability of the regime, only brother and sister could get married, although it was against the tradition of etiquette, but it was not uncommon for Hakube to have such a precedent earlier.
After getting married, Bai Bu just said to the outside world: "The king and the queen are very affectionate, and they are very affectionate." β
No one would have imagined that there would be such a day when husbands and wives would compete for royal power.
It's just that, it's naturally a good thing for Daxin.
However, any good thing does not necessarily become a good thing if it is thought to be artificially promoted. For example, this is a matter of only an edict from Emperor Li Ming, but there are always people who will use the rhetoric of "the dynasty rules the world with Confucius, Mencius, benevolence and filial piety", and turn an originally simple matter into an extremely discussable matter.
"Queen Baibe Zhulan was originally the princess of the protector of the country appointed by the first king of Baibe, and in terms of birth ability, everything was above King Nadanshang, and King Baibe even thought of making Queen Zhulan the princess, but later she gave up for various reasons. But in the end, it is justifiable for Queen Zhulan to be the queen, and as the daughter of the white prince, she can naturally get the throne. β
What does that mean? Will the princess be able to take the throne? There is no reason for women to be in power in this world. β
"But this is the rule of Daxin, the land of the white department, naturally there are the rules of the land of the white department. There is no male or female defense in the white department. β
"Having said that, since Queen Zhulan is married, her identity is not the Bai family, but with the first queen of Bai Bu, Tang Kuo's family, and the woman is married, and her previous identity is naturally not important. In this world, whether it is Daxin or Fanbang, there is no reason for the queen to kill the king and become the queen herself. β
After such an argument, the edict recognizing the orthodox throne of the Queen of Zhulan has been delayed, and the Emperor Taishang is naturally difficult to return to the court.
At this point, Emperor Li Ming's intention of not wanting Emperor Taishang to return to the dynasty has become more and more clear.
"Your Majesty will not allow the emperor to return to the court, otherwise it will really be true." Ying Shu communicated this topic with Shen Bin in private, and Shen Bin was very surprised, "How do you know?" Did you enter the palace to meet your big sister? β
Ying Shu shook her head and snuggled up to Shen Bin like a little squirrel, "You know, it's not easy for me to enter the palace these days, especially when something like this happens, it's not good for me to teach my big sister to be caught in the middle." β
Shen Bin nodded and hugged Yingshu, "I know." It's not easy for you to do it. β
Ying Shu said, "I miss our children." β
Shen Bin looked at Ying Shu: "That's ...... Pick up the kids? β
"No, now that the situation is unclear, I don't dare to take the child back."
In fact, Ying Shu is very guilty, to a certain extent, this can be regarded as the absence of the role of parents, after all, the child was born not long ago, at such a critical age, he and Shen Bin should have given the child the most needed care and accompanied the child to grow up. However, in fact......
"Alas, that's it, let's wait until the emperor returns to the court."
Just when the ministers were arguing and discussing the comings and goings to no avail, the land of the White Department first came with a letter and an edict issued in the name of the Emperor Li Jing.
It was an edict of self-sin, in which Emperor Li Jing counted his own mistakes, including credulity in Wang Zhen, love of soldiers, unclear judgment, etc., and said that the current emperor Li Ming was ordered to turn the tide when the country was in danger, and he was the wise saint of Daxin, so the emperor said that he was determined to give up the throne, and from now on Li Ming is the only emperor of this great Xin.
After Emperor Li Ming saw the edict, he burst into tears under the recitation of the ceremonial officials, expressing his reverence and longing for the Emperor Taishang, and bowed in the direction of the Emperor Taishang in the west, and said very firmly: "I will do my best to welcome the Emperor Taishang back to the court." β
At this point, the matter of the emperor's return to the dynasty can be regarded as settled, because this is a great return to the court, so the pomp and circumstance is extremely important, but it can also be called a major etiquette, and the two countries have to discuss for a long time before it can be finalized.
In the end, the auspicious day of the third day of the twelfth month was set, and Bai Bugong sent the emperor back to the court.
On the third day of the twelfth month, Emperor Li Ming personally led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city gate to greet the Emperor Taishang.
Emperor Taishang, who had been stranded in the white department for a long time, had gone through the hard years of the white department, and now it was not as good as before, and his face was more tired of wind and frost, and he saw the emperor Li Ming bowing, so he hurriedly got off the sedan chair and stepped forward to personally help Li Ming, and said: "These days, thanks to the five younger brothers presiding over the government, Daxin will not enter the crisis, the fifth brother is the hero of Daxin, and the emperor of Daxin." I'm just a sinner, how can I be worthy of the five younger brothers' bows? β
Emperor Li Ming said respectfully: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, the imperial brother is the emperor, more noble than me." The minister had to bow and respect, the imperial brother came from afar and it was really hard, and the minister had nothing to do, so he could only lead the civil and military officials to greet him personally. β
The two brothers who have been reunited for a long time have said that they are hugging their heads and crying, telling the love of brothers, friends and brothers, telling each other's deep love for Daxin, and even thinking of the love that the two brothers grew up together in the past.
And the civil and military officials who followed Emperor Li Ming to greet the Emperor Taishang saw that the two emperors were so brotherly, and they were all moved, and they all covered their sleeves and wept, admiring the brotherhood of the two emperors.
"God bless the Great Xin, God bless the Emperor, God bless Your Majesty."
In the end, under the touching scene where all the people were moved, Emperor Li Ming personally helped the Emperor Taishang to get on the sedan chair, and walked on the side of the Taishang Emperor's sedan chair to accompany the Emperor Taishang into the palace.
When Shen Bin told Ying Shu about the scene at that time, Ying Shu naturally imagined that kind of picture, and remembered the fake crying of those ministers, which was ironic.
One second it's a brother, a friend, a brother, and a second later, maybe something will happen.
"Is the Emperor Taishang living in the South Palace?" Yingshu asked.
"Hmm." Shen Bin replied: "The Emperor himself said that the current Emperor of Daxin is still His Majesty, and the major affairs of the state are completely handed over to His Majesty. β
It seems to be the best arrangement, but in fact......
"Emperor Taishang said that he took the initiative to give up the throne and government, but he also said that he would not threaten His Majesty's current position; His Majesty mentioned everywhere that he didn't want to be the emperor when he was ordered to be in danger, and the words were just ignored dissatisfaction, looking at the deep brotherhood, but in fact, how much true love is there? Ying Shu said lazily, but she was concerned, so she looked listless.
"What are you afraid of?" Shen Bin noticed Ying Shu's strangeness and said with concern.
"I ......" The fear in her heart seemed to spread and recur regularly, and she would give herself a heavy blow at any time, Ying Shu thought about it, and became more and more aware that the six gods had no master, so she nervously grabbed Shen Bin and said, "I'm afraid...... Whether the Emperor really wants to give up the throne or not, His Majesty ...... I'm afraid I won't be lenient with the emperor. β
"What did you say?" Shen Bin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately felt the fear, "Isn't it ......"
"No matter what, we have to support the Emperor, if Your Majesty wants the throne, he will want a throne that can be inherited. If you want to keep the position of His Royal Highness the Prince, you have to keep the Emperor, we have no chance to hesitate, we can only do so. β
"But ......" Shen Bin suddenly felt that his brain couldn't turn a little bit, he looked at Ying Shu with a resolute expression, but he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and even more pity: "But ...... But Your Majesty and the Queen are your brothers-in-law and sisters, and you ......"
"I ......" Ying Shu was stunned for a while, and her heart hesitated again and again, and after careful consideration, she felt a splitting headache, and even felt pain in her heart.
"Big sister is not that kind of person. If Your Majesty has the heart of disrespecting the emperor, I am afraid that the eldest sister will not agree to the first one. β
Ying Shu made a difficult choice, naturally she was also on the premise of knowing Ying Huan's temperament, "The eldest sister has been raised by her father since she was a child, and she will not know right from wrong." And the eldest sister has a strong personality, and she will never have such a heart. β
As she spoke, tears appeared in the corners of Ying Shu's eyes, and she leaned on Shen Bin, feeling that she had no strength in her body: "But Shen Bin, you have to promise me that you will help my eldest sister no matter what you want in the future." Even if Your Majesty is concerned, you can't teach my eldest sister to be angry with the Emperor. β
Speaking of which, in fact, it is still a matter of consideration between a selfish emperor and a petty emperor, or perhaps, the key to the problem is not the two emperors, but the heirs of these two emperors.
In fact, everyone believes that only the crown prince Li Yuan is the most suitable person to be the emperor under the current circumstances.
If Daxin now looks strong on the outside and empty on the inside, if he hands it over to Li Ming to toss again, he is afraid that he will ......
So after thinking about it, only by keeping the emperor first can we obtain the possibility of the crown prince Li Yuan ascending the throne.
