Chapter 144: Inheriting Orthodoxy
When the enthronement ceremony was held, on the Golden Palace, King Jing made it difficult in every way, and Xue Yier suddenly appeared at the moment of crisis, and presented the edict of the first emperor to the throne, which solved the difficulties of the five princes.
Emperor Cheng ('Five Princes' is the successor to the throne, the country is called the first year of Dacheng, it is for Emperor Cheng, and since then, the 'Five Princes' is Emperor Cheng, and Emperor Cheng is the 'Five Princes'.) Asked the cabinet ministers to identify the authenticity of the two edicts, and did not want the five ministers to show surprise after reading the edict, and they were sincerely frightened, Emperor Cheng couldn't help but be curious, and ordered the eunuch to take the edict to the dragon book case, and his face changed greatly after unfolding the edict!
Emperor Cheng's eyes fell on Xue Yi'er, who was standing in the middle of the court, his eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.
It turned out that these two edicts were written by the emperor himself, but the edict taken out by Xue Yier was indeed the edict of the succession, and it was written very clearly in the edict: Xiao Luochen, the fifth prince, is smart and valuable, and he bows deeply, and succeeds to the throne of the emperor.
Emperor Cheng just wondered, when did the first emperor make this edict to inherit the throne? How could it fall into the hands of a straw coward?
Emperor Cheng stared at Xue Yi'er, and Xue Yi'er also stared at Emperor Cheng with a smug expression, as if to say that there are still a lot of things you don't know!
Emperor Cheng's eyes fell on the so-called edict of succession offered by Prince Jing again, the edict is indeed the handwriting of the first emperor, but this edict is secretly mysterious, at first glance it is indeed the inheritance of the throne and the second prince Xiao Yichen, but look carefully, but it is another meaning, the edict also reads: The second prince Xiao Yichen has a noble character, and he bows deeply. The second prince in this edict was blank before the two words, and careful people can see that this is not a mistake, but a deliberate act by the person who wrote the letter.
Emperor Cheng stared at the blank space on the edict tightly and racked his brains and couldn't see why, suddenly remembered the concubine Yuan behind him, and hurriedly got up to ask Concubine Yuan for advice, the concubine took the edict, looked at it for a moment, and whispered something in Emperor Cheng's ear, but seeing that Emperor Cheng's face turned from blue to white, it seemed that there was something special.
Emperor Cheng ordered the eunuch to bring the candlestick and bake the holy decree against the candle flame for a while, but when he saw that the blank space was as Concubine Yuan said, the word "non" slowly appeared! In this way, the meaning of this edict could not be more obvious! As long as the five princes are not the second prince Xiao Yichen, anyone can succeed to the throne!
In other words, the first emperor had to write this edict, but he didn't really want to pass the throne to the second prince Xiao Yichen, even if Xiao Yichen held the edict, it would be debunked!
Emperor Cheng stared at this edict carefully, and recognized that this was the edict given by the emperor to the second prince Xiao Yichen when he was in Beiling, and his hands holding the edict trembled, and his eyes were full of tears. What do you mean?! β
At this time, Prince Jing also had a premonition that something was wrong, and he picked up the edict with trembling hands, and looked at the big one. Non' word, I can't help but complain about my son, it turns out that this edict is the son of King Jing South China Hou Xiao Quan got by chance, he knows that the five princes are upright, jealous and hateful, in the frontier to defend the city for these years, deep people's hearts, more ambitious to reorganize the mountains and rivers, and Xiao Quan is greedy and lustful, selling officials and lords everywhere, he knows that if the five princes ascend the throne, he will not be able to get benefits, so he pleaded with the old father to go to the court to mess around, because he knows that the five princes attach great importance to family affection, even if the old father can't make trouble, with the five princes' house hearts, he will definitely not be angry, but he doesn't want him to touch the interests of the imperial power, no one can shake itοΌ
Emperor Cheng threw off the sleeves of his robe and sat back on the dragon chair, and ordered the official to pass the decree.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict
The first emperor collapsed suddenly, returned to the five elements, inherited the emperor's order, the holy Hongxiu, and followed the last order of the Daxing Emperor. The civil and military ministers inside and outside the country and the elderly soldiers and civilians combined words to persuade them to advance, and as for the repeated resignation, they refused to get it, and I would like to tell heaven and earth at this time, that is, the emperor's throne. Thinking deeply about the weight of entrustment, earnest and conscientious, but my emperor and nephew are the emperor, and the fortune is prosperous, and the industry is prosperous. If you want to prosper and govern, you must reform the old and make the new. Everything is based on the old chapter, and it is also based on the ancestors. Self-only Liangde, still rely on pro-sage, and try to rule the new country. It takes next year as the first year of Dacheng. Amnesty for the world, and change with the people. All matters related to the merger are listed below!
Chin this"
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
The herald's voice was backward, and the courtiers knelt down.
Emperor Cheng spread his hands evenly and said loudly: "Zhongqing is flat." β
"There is a book, there is no book, there is no book, and the court is .......," the eunuch shouted.
"The old minister has a book," Shangshu Li Qin walked out of the court and knelt on top of the court.
"Long live the minister, the minister has the book, South China Hou Xiao Quan deceived the king, sold the official mantle, embezzled and sold the law to all costs, and built a powder room in the South China Villa fifty miles outside Shuangyang City, and forcibly abducted the people's daughters in case he was lustful from time to time, the minister please thoroughly investigate and severely punish the South China Hou." Li Qin held the chapter above his head, and the eunuch on the side put the chapter on the dragon book case.
"Li Aiqing and return to the court, this matter will be discussed in the court in three days."
"The minister has his own music."
"The minister has the book!"
Not long after, there were more than a dozen ministers who were all participating in the performance of Xiao Quan in South China, and Emperor Cheng looked at King Jing lying in the court, and sneered: "King Jing, have you heard clearly what the ministers are playing?!" It turns out that you did everything you could to obstruct my accession to the throne because you were worried about the future of the title of South China Hou! Hmph, someone! Emperor Cheng shouted, and a warrior from the corner of the palace came up.
"Spread my will, you can seal up the South China Houfu, without my will, the people of the Hou Mansion are not allowed to enter and leave without authorization to communicate with the outside world, wait for me to find out the facts, and then make a decision! Retreat! Emperor Cheng didn't wait for the ministers to play the book again, stood up and retreated to the back hall.
After retiring from the dynasty, the two edicts were still hovering in Emperor Cheng's mind, he only felt depressed, and slowly paced towards the imperial garden, the chief eunuch of the five princes has been following Emperor Cheng's left and right, Emperor Cheng sat beside the Taiqing Pond in the imperial garden, pondering in the wind.
The fifth father-in-law put on a black fox fur coat for Emperor Cheng, and said to himself: "The first emperor likes nothing and likes to be alone in a daze with the lake, it seems that there are a lot of things on his mind, and we naturally don't dare to worry about the sacred heart as slaves, but we know that this son is already suffering, and there is really no need to add some troubles to myself." β
Emperor Cheng knew that the five fathers were persuading him to open more, and when he didn't enter the palace, he already knew the character of the people in the palace, and knew that these five fathers were very loyal, and nodded: "I just don't understand why my father would make such an edict, if he returns, wouldn't he be able to justifiably ask for this throne with me?" It's also about the four princes in the prison, can you also come to me and ask for this dragon chair?! β
The fifth prince shook his head and smiled: "It turns out that the Lord is worried about these things again, no, the first emperor once chatted with the old slave, this great prince is loyal, his ambition is not on the throne, let alone in the palace, he will definitely not come to fight, as for the fourth prince, his power has been wiped out when he killed the king, and it is impossible to resurrect it again!" The fifth duke hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Long live the lord, don't you still understand the good intentions of the first emperor? He was worried that the second prince and the long live lord would compete for the throne, so he made two edicts to pass on the throne, one was to stabilize the second prince, and the other was that even if the second prince succeeded, someone would come up with this real edict to bring him down! β
Emperor Cheng was shocked in his heart, and there was a smile on his face that suddenly realized: "So that's the case, then presumably Xue Yi'er is not a mountain grass coward?" β
The fifth duke nodded: "Xue Yi'er was originally the emperor's personal guard, because the person was extremely ugly, and was excluded by others, once the first emperor occasionally saw him kicking and beating a straw man in the corner, so he took him by his side, and after several tests to ensure that this person was available, he handed him the edict of succession, and took him out of the palace, and found a suitable opportunity to make friends with Banzai, and then sent the edict back after the first emperor made a big trip." β
Emperor Cheng nodded, it turned out that this was the case, it turned out that the robbery in the mountains was a deliberately arranged "coincidence", no wonder this Xue Yi'er was willing to recognize himself as his godfather and father-in-law at his age, it turned out that he had already known his identity and today's accession to the throne, so wouldn't he be a prince in one step? Emperor Cheng sneered in his heart.
"The old slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"
"Speak."
"I don't know how this General Xue can call Long Live Lord his father-in-law?" The fifth father-in-law asked with some concern.
"It's a long story, Fifth Father-in-law, you can rest assured, I will stop in moderation, I have already planned this matter, and I will deal with this matter properly after the matter of South China is over." Emperor Cheng saw that the five fathers were really worried about him, and he also explained the hearts of the five fathers.
"There is one more thing, but I don't know what the Lord of Long Live is going to do with the Heavenly Treasure Prince?" The fifth father-in-law seemed to have something to say, but after glancing at Emperor Cheng, he didn't say anything after all.
Emperor Cheng also stared at the pattern on the lake in silence, he didn't think about how to deal with the Tianbao King, originally he could have pushed Xiao Yishuo out of the noon gate and beheaded him with a holy decree, but in that case, his crime of killing the monarch would be revealed to the world, and the cause of the emperor's death would also be revealed to the world, which he didn't want to see.
"The first emperor once said that tiger poison does not eat children." The fifth father-in-law said softly.
Emperor Cheng nodded: "What the fifth duke means, I know, it's not too early, let's go back to the palace." β
The two went straight to Yuhua Palace, and just walked into the palace gate, Emperor Cheng saw a palace maid in three steps on both sides, and a female official in five steps, frowned and asked the fifth prince: "Are these palace maids a little old?" β
The fifth father-in-law said with a smile: "Yes, this is still the palace maid chosen by the first emperor, and it has never been changed, it stands to reason that the long live lord should get married and then succeed to the throne, but it was in a hurry, and this concubine wedding can only wait for the first emperor to sleep." β
Emperor Cheng smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry. In his mind, Xue Yi appeared in plain clothes, with long eyebrows and a slight smile.
Emperor Cheng looked at the Yuwang Mansion and guessed what Xue Yi was doing at this time?
