Chapter 613: Dark Tide
Two major events have recently taken place in Beijing.
The first thing was the sensational wedding held in the capital in mid-September - Kou Changqing, known as the victorious general, married Zheng Huarui, the sister of the imperial concubine.
Although the victorious general can no longer be called the victorious general, he can't bear the holy grace is still there! On the day of the wedding, ten miles of red makeup was spread from the Zhengguo Mansion to the Shenwu General's Mansion, and the sedan chair traveled around most of the capital, and there were thousands of empty alleys and crowds of people everywhere.
The pomp and circumstance were unprecedented, and many days passed and were still talked about, until another major event happened.
Now he has been on the throne for more than seven years, and no heir has been born so far. The East Palace is vacant, there is no prince in the court, the emperor is anxious, the ministers are more anxious than the emperor, one persuasion in three days and one advice on five days, all of which persuade the emperor to accept the harem and rain and dew.
In this regard, Emperor Wande is not a person who can't listen to words, no, he has chosen two shows in seven years.
The first time also paid attention to the appearance, family background, morality, words, and merit, etc., and in the second time, "good birth" directly became the primary standard.
It's ridiculous, but when the eyebrows are burned, who cares?
After two times, the harem has been so full that it can no longer be filled, and Emperor Wande has changed the spiritual head of the territory a few years ago to a battlefield, and he has no choice but to let him work intensively, but there is no harvest.
This harvest refers to the prince, and the prince still gave birth to several after another, but most of them died young, and only two or three survived.
The folk have begun to spread that the reason why the dynasty has no queen is because of the various actions of the emperor after he ascended the throne, which violated the will of heaven and hurt yin morality.
What's more, nursery rhymes are sung that allude to his improper position......
When Emperor Wande first heard it, he was simply thunderous and angry, but there were so many singers that there was no way to pursue it.
Since then, he has been more urgent as if to prove something. It's just that his body has been hollowed out, and the freshness has gradually been lost, and he once got to the point where he had a headache when he saw a woman, and he had to rely on some side doors......
The hard work paid off, and after more than half a year of silence, good news came from the palace again - Concubine Zheng Guifei has it!
Concubine Zheng was also pregnant once when she was in the palace, but she accidentally flowed out, and she was a formed male fetus.
After many years, her stomach moved again, and Emperor Wande was overjoyed and determined that this baby must be the prince.
Not long after, news came out in the palace that Concubine Zheng Guifei was undoubtedly pregnant with a male fetus.
Those rumors about Emperor Wande's lack of virtue and morality gradually disappeared into invisibility.
Recently, the prisoner of Qin Tianjian observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that the celestial phenomena were abnormal. Purple Qi gathers in the east, and the bucket handle points to the east - that is to say, a new Emperor Star has appeared.
Except for the one in Concubine Zheng's stomach, no one thought about it.
After doing the math, it's almost five months, and by the spring of next year, the Great Zhou Dynasty will usher in a new prince.
At this time, an even more sensational news exploded above the capital - the orphan of King Min was found!
Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperors of the past dynasties have not been very prosperous in their children, and the situation of single seedlings has appeared from time to time.
The first emperor only had one son, King Min, and for some reason, he divided the people to the remote southwest.
When the first emperor was on his way, only King Gong at that time, who was now Emperor Wande, served him, but coincidentally, the throne was finally passed to him.
It's not that no one has questioned it, it's just that he has the book of succession in his hand, and he has Concubine Jing who served the sick together as proof. Coupled with the news of the death of King Min not long after, it was logical to inherit the unification.
When Emperor Wande ascended the throne, he made a vow in front of his ministers with tears in his eyes - King Min has a trace of blood in the world, and he will abdicate and give way.
came to this play, in addition to wanting to show that he was in danger, it was the first emperor who insisted on bypassing his own son and handing over the burden of Jiangshan Sheji to him, the imperial nephew. I want to show that I have never coveted the throne, and I will not be nostalgic.
But when King Min died, Princess Min had just given birth, and she went with King Min in grief, and the child never survived, it is said that he died of illness, where is the blood now?
Emperor Wande took this opportunity to put on a posture, and also washed away the suspicion and won the hearts of the people. How could he have imagined that seven years had passed, and King Min would suddenly pop out.
That dead child, who came back to life?
Emperor Wande refused to believe it, but the child was found by Renzong's cousin, the highly respected Lao Anwang. And without any precautions in advance, he directly poked it out in the early dynasty and caught Emperor Wande off guard.
That day, the early dynasty completely exploded, and in the face of the excited ministers, Emperor Wande had no choice but to summon people to the palace.
Many old ministers had tears in their eyes at the first sight of the child, and with all the physical evidence, it was even more conclusive after repeated verification.
Emperor Wande never mentioned the vow he made that year, and only ordered someone to send the child to the earlier Min Wangfu for settlement.
But he didn't mention it, someone did.
First of all, Yushitai admonished, only followed the six departments, and in the end, even Taixue jointly petitioned.
The Son of Heaven is full of words, how can he not recognize what he says? If he loses his faith, he will lose the hearts of hundreds of officials and scholars in the world, so how can he, the emperor, stand?
It is difficult for Emperor Wande to ride a tiger, but Concubine Zheng is also about to give birth......
"It is said that it is the year of the great murder, and it is not appropriate to canonize the prince, let the child inherit the throne of King Min first, and then canonize it next year."
"Concubine Zheng will also give birth next year, who will live in the East Palace? If something happens again......"
"Horse urine is too much, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Look at you cowardly, there are no outsiders here...... Do you think, it's not a big child, you live in the palace, and there is no one to take care of you, where is the long-term? ”
"Why is there no one to take care of it? Although the crown prince can only be canonized next year, the subordinate officials of the East Palace have been prepared early in the morning, which is just in handy. ”
"Then Concubine Zheng can't be angry? for his own son. ”
"What's even more infuriating! Didn't they talk about celestial changes and the appearance of the new emperor star a few days ago? Originally, everyone thought that they were talking about the child in Concubine Zheng Guifei's womb, but now it is difficult to say. ”
"Really...... As soon as Qin Tianjian said this, King Min's descendants were found, didn't it just right? ”
"Wait and see, there will be a good show to watch in the future......"
In the corners of the capital, such conversations occur from time to time, and the mouths of the people cannot be blocked.
Under the calm surface of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is already a dark tide.
Min Wangfu.
Early in the morning, there was a crackling sound of broken porcelain in the inner room.
"Trouble again?"
The little eunuch guarding the door was relieved to see that it was Teng Ying.
"Father-in-law, go and take a look, he won't eat the food, and if he smashes anything, he will hurt several people......
"We know, open the door."
The little eunuch pushed the door open, and as soon as Teng Ying stepped in, a round stool smashed at him.
At the same time, the voice of the teenager was so hoarse that he could barely hear it
"I want to see her!"
