Chapter 169
It seems that overnight, the capital has changed.
King Qing died, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor fell ill.
The courtiers were panicked, on the one hand, they inquired about the emperor's condition, and on the other hand, they cautiously tried to ask the elder of the pavilion, asking whether they wanted to ask the emperor to appoint the three princes as the prince as soon as possible, in case they were needed from time to time......
Under the scorching sun, the sweltering heat of the capital makes people breathless.
Qu Muge personally played a fan for Emperor Yong in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, guarding He Yizheng to treat Emperor Yong's illness.
After an acupuncture session, Emperor Yong woke up.
With a breath in his throat, he exhaled a few heavily, and after seeing Qu Muge, he remembered what happened before he vomited blood.
He asked hoarsely, "Y-How do you know?" ”
Qu Muge knew that Emperor Yong would definitely ask, so he called his father-in-law Ying to wait outside the Heart Cultivation Hall early.
She summoned people in, and her father-in-law knelt in front of the palace and told the past.
“…… Ke Liangren was originally the eldest palace maid in front of the Queen Mother, and because she often sent food and clothes to the former prince for the Queen Mother, she secretly had an affair with the former prince. After the first prince fell off a horse and died, Ke Liangren found out that she was pregnant, which was to lose her life in the palace, she gave birth to a plan in order to survive, and asked for the grace of the queen mother and became your concubine. Later, she successfully slept and gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, but Queen Yu couldn't tolerate her, so Ke Liangren had to tell the Empress Dowager Yu and Empress Yu about the life of the emperor's eldest son for protection, but the Empress Dowager poisoned both Empress Yu and Ke Liangren in order to keep this secret......"
After listening to this, Emperor Yong closed his eyes and leaned on the bed, and he couldn't relax for a long time.
Queen Yu was killed by the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother framed him for killing Song Changle, and forced Song Changle to marry the Gu family in a hurry.
Qu Muge looked at Emperor Yong, who was getting thinner, and felt aggrieved for him.
Emperor Xian, Mr. Song, Empress Yu, Concubine Zuo, Prince Xian, King Qing...... He killed none of them, but he had to carry them.
Can a supreme person really be able to withstand so many grievances and pressures?
She couldn't bear it.
After Qu Muge asked Father-in-law Ying to step down, he whispered in Emperor Yong's ear: "King Qing, you are not dead...... After knowing his background, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to return to Beijing, and fled to Qiuqiong...... Gu Hou took this opportunity to attack Yanbei, and just happened to force the Queen Mother's party to show its original form...... Don't take it too seriously. ”
Emperor Yong was really relieved in his heart.
Although he doesn't love King Qing, after all, he has been raised as a son for twenty years, if he really dies, how can he not be sad?
After knowing the truth, Emperor Yongdi was finally able to sleep peacefully after drinking the medicine.
But at this moment, the former dynasty is already treacherous.
King Qing's "death" also hit the Bai family quite hard, Bai Lingting cried and fainted in King Qing's mansion, and was taken back to the Bai family by Tao to take care of it.
Old Madam Bai originally thought that Changfang had been hit hard by this, and she would definitely not have the energy to take care of the illegal profit-making case of Sanfang, who knew that Bai Yuanhui not only urged the people of the Criminal Department to handle the case, but also encouraged the clan elders to give up the Bai family's property in Yanbei.
Bai Huahua's silver is just gone, and Mrs. Bai will not do it anyway, but the clan elders all feel that something big is going to happen in Yanbei, and they can't let the whole family fall into a desperate situation for the sake of greedy money.
Mrs. Bai came up with the idea of dividing the family and let the third room take Yanbei's property out.
Bai Yuanhui did not object to this idea, but he asked Mrs. Bai to go back to your hometown in Youyang with Sanfang to run the industry, so as not to cause trouble in the capital.
The case of the Criminal Department was about to be investigated on Bai Yicheng's head, he wanted to go back to his hometown to hide, this idea was just what he wanted, so he made the decision for Mrs. Bai and went back to Youyang with Sanfang at night.
On the other hand, the Xiang family also convened family meetings again and again to discuss the matter of establishing a prince.
King Qing "died" unexpectedly, the second prince was imprisoned, the fourth prince had no mother, and was raised by his grandmother in the Zongren Mansion, only the third prince who was raised by Xiao Xiang Concubine, although his biological mother Da Xiang Concubine was abolished, but comparatively speaking, he was the most qualified to inherit the throne.
Some members of the Xiang family were eager to try, but Xiao Xiang Concubine guarded the three princes tightly, did not allow the three princes to contact any foreign ministers, and wrote a note to the Xiang family.
"Only the Holy Ear."
She only listened to the emperor's wishes.
Xiang Ge Lao frowned, and the lines on his forehead were stacked several layers.
He said to several humerus members of the Xiang family: "Although Concubine Xiang is timid and cautious, her consideration is reasonable. If, as we think, only the three princes are qualified, then what are we anxious about? It should be ours, naturally it is ours, if we are in a hurry, there is the eldest prince and the second prince as a reference, do we have to repeat the mistakes of the past? I'm afraid now, I'm just afraid, the emperor doesn't plan to choose the prince among the princes! ”
Another person said, "Could it really be that you really want Si Chen?" ”
Nodding to the elder: "The decree to give the princess's mansion has been drafted, and Princess Taixuan is going to set up her own door before she leaves the pavilion, what do you think the emperor means?" ”
Everyone talked about it, and they all said that it would definitely not work.
Xiang Ge Lao said: "For the sake of today's plan, only by supporting the constitutional reform can the three princes have a greater chance of winning......
After the constitutional reform, the monarch will be changed to a constitutional monarchy, and there are not too many requirements for the ability of the person on the throne, as long as they can get the support of the courtiers and the clan, and have excellent cabinet ministers.
This is very suitable for the third prince, that is, it can make up for his lack of ability, and he has the support of the Xiang family and the clan.
After many discussions, Xiang Jia finally decided not to participate in the dispute between the establishment of the reserve, but to work with the Shilin people to promote the constitutional reform.
And since Empress Dowager Yu completely tore her face with Emperor Yong, she has been a little unscrupulous.
She has mastered the royal clan for many years, and secretly spread rumors that Emperor Yongdi killed her relatives, and now she is telling people everywhere that King Qing was killed by Emperor Yong, and many people believe it!
The remarks criticizing the unworthiness of Yong Dide gradually increased, and several princes who shared the Taizu in the clan also moved around frequently.
At the last court meeting at the end of May, Emperor Yongdi dragged his sick body to the court, officially proposed to change the ancestral system, and proposed to establish the Taixuan Emperor and the princess to inherit the unification of Sheji.
The ministers above suddenly fell to their knees, and nine out of nine were opposed.
The reform faction led by Xiang Ge Lao supported the constitutional reform and the establishment of a parliamentary system.
The old school led by Yu Shitai Yu Yushi pushed King Kang to the front of the people, saying that King Kang would govern the fief smoothly and had the talent to govern the world.
King Kang is the cousin of Emperor Yong, and at the beginning of Emperor Yong's succession, the Queen Mother wanted to change to a new emperor.
After Emperor Yongdi calmed down the turmoil of the Empress Dowager's abolition of the emperor, he did not embarrass King Kang, and also chose a large fief for him in Ludi.
Emperor Yong did not reprimand him on the spot, but said with a blank face: "Whether King Kang is willing to take on the big responsibility, I need to consult with him, pass on the decree, and declare King Kang to enter Beijing to discuss politics." ”
A holy decree was announced, and Master Yu found out that he had been fooled!
King Kang received the holy decree, whether he came or not, this is a proposition!
In addition to the reformists and conservatives, it is rare for Ge Zheng to stand up and lead the rising stars in the court to support Emperor Yong's enthronement of the imperial princess, known as the reformists.
The forces of the DPRK and China are divided into three factions, and there are endless debates. 2k reading web
