Chapter 229: Enthronement
No one would have thought that Empress Hu would take the initiative to come here.
After all, since the incident of that year, she has been unhappy to see Rui Kangdi, even if Rui Kangdi was angry and vomited blood at this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, she did not want to see him.
But now, she's here?
Ye Jingxing glanced at Queen Hu, saw that she was dressed in plain clothes, and was busy getting up to salute her, but Queen Hu waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite." ”
After saying this to Ye Jingxing, Queen Hu looked directly at Duan Wang and said, "This matter is the handiwork of the Liu family. ”
As soon as Empress Hu's words came out, King Duan and Ye Jingxing understood.
It's just that the two of them will be a little puzzled, and they don't understand why Queen Hu took the initiative to investigate this matter.
Queen Hu didn't care about the faces of the two of them, and directly said the evidence she had investigated, and after finishing speaking, she looked at King Duan and said: "The palace has been ordered to be guarded, what is going on here, King Duan can investigate again if he is not at ease." After saying this, Queen Hu paused before continuing: "But no matter what, we must ensure that the fifth child ascends the throne smoothly." ”
Dropping these words, Empress Hu didn't even look at Rui Kangdi, who had already lost her breath, and turned around and left here directly.
It wasn't until Queen Hu's figure disappeared that Ye Jingxing looked at Duan Wang and said, "Uncle Wang, what the queen mother just said ......"
"I'll find out for myself." King Duan naturally didn't worry about handing over this matter to others, and now it was his own brother who was killed, and his own brother who had been protecting him for many years.
Forget it if he didn't have a clue before, now that he has clues, he will definitely investigate carefully.
Even if this clue is given by someone else, he will investigate it carefully and distinguish the truth from the false.
Hearing the meaning of King Duan's words, Ye Jingxing was silent and did not speak again.
He was thinking about the last words that Empress Hu said before leaving just now, and understood that she really let herself ascend the throne.
Thinking of this, Ye Jingxing sighed in his heart, and suddenly felt that his original decision was really too correct.
When the emperor died, the funeral was naturally not simply done.
Although Rui Kangdi was killed by someone, but this matter did not spread, after all, Rui Kangdi's body had been bad before, and now he suddenly went, although the courtiers were puzzled, but King Duan, Queen Hu and Ye Jingxing came forward at the same time, and they did not dare to raise doubts.
After all, Emperor Ruikang had chosen an heir before his death, and now that the country has a prince, they just need to wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne.
The original date of the Zen throne was the beginning of February, but now although Emperor Ruikang died directly, the new emperor's accession to the throne is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
It was supposed to be a happy event, but because of the sudden death of Rui Kangdi, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony did not look so joyful.
And Ye Jingxing, who had already put on the dragon robe and ascended the throne as the emperor, would be very irritable.
His irritability is not because there are too many political affairs, during this time, even if there is really something, as long as it is not too urgent, the courtiers will not report it, or they are worried that the new emperor is in a bad mood.
So Ye Jingxing's mood is not good, and it has nothing to do with political affairs at all.
"Uncle Wang, don't ask about this matter again."
The new emperor Ye Jingxing was still very respectful to King Duan, but he didn't expect that Uncle Wang would suddenly know about Yan Ye in the past two days.
As soon as King Duan saw Ye Jingxing's expression, he knew that what was said in the letter he received was true.
Ye Jingxun's eldest son is really alive.
King Duan really wanted to ask Ye Jingxing what was going on in this matter, did he forget how good Ye Jingxun was to him in the first place.
Since he knew that his brother's son was still alive, why didn't he say it, why did he hide it from his brother?
His brother obviously asked him about this before, but he was pretending to be stupid at that time?
Duan Wang wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask.
He didn't know how he managed to get to the palace after receiving this letter today.
Because he understands that although the nephew in front of him is a junior, he is also the new emperor.
He can rely on Uncle Wang's identity to talk to him once or twice with a questioning attitude, so what about the future?
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, even if he is the king of Duan, he has to think about the children and grandchildren of the family.
The previous saint was his own brother, and the two were related by blood, and after two or three generations, his descendants and his brother's lineage were just ordinary clan brothers.
Ye Jingxing could actually see that King Duan wanted to speak, but he was really not good at saying anything about this matter.
Just as the awkward atmosphere between Ye Jingxing and Duanwang was spreading, a notice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Holy Lord, the Queen Mother is here."
Now the palace can be called the queen mother, that is, the biological mother of Queen Hu and Ye Jingxing, and the former concubine.
It's just that the former Concubine De, and now the Queen Mother of the Virgin almost don't go out, not only respectful of the Queen Mother everywhere, but also told her son not to visit her often.
Although the Queen Mother was cautious, for fear of upsetting the Queen Mother, the former Queen Mother and the current Queen Mother Hu didn't seem to take her to heart at all.
This Empress Dowager Hu came here, Ye Jingxing and King Duan immediately put away the look on their faces, one of them was weak-hearted, and the other was worried about letting the imperial sister-in-law see something, after all, the one who had the news was her own grandson.
Who knew that after Empress Dowager Hu came in, she glanced at Ye Jingxing directly, and then looked at Duan Wang and said: "Yan'er's news is not allowed by the Holy Lord from the palace." ”
"What?"
Almost at the moment when Empress Dowager Hu's voice fell, King Duan exclaimed.
Empress Dowager Hu was not shocked at all by King Duan's reaction, she looked at King Duan, bowed her head slightly, and then continued: "This palace has long known the news that Yan'er is still alive, but this palace and Yan'er's thoughts are the same, and I don't want him to be involved in royal affairs anymore. After saying this, Empress Dowager Hu paused before continuing: "This palace is now such a grandson, but I don't want him to be in danger again, so I told the saint not to say it." ”
King Duan didn't expect that the imperial sister-in-law not only knew about this matter for a long time, but also prevented her nephew from telling the imperial brother about it.
Thinking of the content of the letter, King Duan thought about it, looked at Empress Dowager Hu and said, "So the matter between Brother Yan and the girl of the Xu family is true?" ”
Ye Jingxing and Empress Dowager Hu didn't expect that King Duan would know about this matter, but it was also because King Duan opened his mouth to talk about this matter, and the two of them thought of someone at the same time.
Ye Jingxing and Empress Dowager Hu glanced at each other quickly, and they both understood each other's meaning from each other's eyes.
However, neither of them mentioned this matter, but Empress Dowager Hu looked at Duan Wang and said: "This palace now only hopes that Yan'er can be a rich man in the future." ”
After saying this to King Duan, Empress Dowager Hu looked at Ye Jingxing again and said, "This palace is coming today, in addition to talking about Yan'er, there is one more thing to say to the saint." ”
"What does the Queen Mother command?"
Ye Jingxing's attitude towards Empress Dowager Hu was not good, after all, he could not successfully ascend to this position without her help.
Empress Dowager Hu didn't feel that Ye Jingxing had any problems with her attitude towards her, and after hearing his words, she bowed her head slightly and said, "This palace wants to go to Linggu Temple to fast for three years. ”
As soon as Empress Dowager Hu said this, Ye Jingxing thought of what Xu Shiqiu had said to him behind his back.
The queen intends to leave the palace after the saint goes up, and it is estimated that she will find an excuse to stay outside for a few years, as if she wants to go to see her great-grandson and granddaughter-in-law. ’
But he knew before that as long as Empress Dowager Hu didn't mention it for a day, he wouldn't mention it, but he didn't expect that he originally thought that Empress Dowager Hu would not speak until his father was in the ground, who would have thought that she would open her mouth now.
King Duan didn't know what Empress Dowager Hu was going to do, and when he heard that she was going to Linggu Temple to fast for three years, he wanted to ask.
But as soon as he looked up, he found that there was something wrong with Ye Jingxing's expression.
Thinking of this, King Duan, who suddenly had some hard guesses, hurriedly looked at Empress Dowager Hu and said, "Imperial sister-in-law, ...... you?"
When Empress Dowager Hu saw King Duan asking, she didn't want to hide her dislike of Rui Kangdi at all, and said directly: "Since the fifth child has ascended the throne, this palace also wants to live the life he wants in peace." ”
Empress Dowager Hu didn't want to hide her thoughts, now in the entire palace, she is the biggest, and the new emperor and his mother respect her.
It can be said that she is much more wanton in the palace now than she was when Rui Kangdi was there.
But so what?
There are no grandchildren, no granddaughters-in-law, and no great-grandchildren who are about to be born!
Empress Dowager Hu is very wanton now, no matter how King Duan and Ye Jingxing reacted after hearing her words, she directly dropped the news that she would leave the day after tomorrow, and then turned around and left here directly.
Seeing Empress Dowager Hu leave like this, King Duan thought for a long time before looking at Ye Jingxing and said, "Your mother, do you want to leave the capital?" ”
Ye Jingxing had to admire his Uncle Wang, and he could guess this reason.
It's just that he can't talk about this matter in detail, it's not good to say that my nephew, your nephew, made her belly bigger when my eldest niece didn't get along.
Now your sister-in-law, my mother-in-law is in such a hurry to leave the palace, in fact, she wants to guard the birth of her great-grandson.
Ye Jingxing couldn't say this.
However, he thought about it, and finally looked at King Duan and said seriously: "The queen mother ...... to her father, and you also understand this matter, Uncle Wang." Now that my father is gone, the queen mother wants to go and relax, and I can't say anything. ”
What Ye Jingxing said was that even King Duan couldn't say anything.
After all, what happened at the beginning was indeed what his imperial brother did wrong, and now that the imperial brother is no longer there, she insists on forcing the imperial sister-in-law to stay in the palace, she must be unhappy.
What's more, there is an eldest grandson outside who is not willing to continue to mix with the royal family, and if it were him, he would not want to stay in the palace.
Because the news that Empress Dowager Hu was leaving the palace was really not good to say, Ye Jingxing looked at King Duan a little embarrassed, so he could only ask: "Can Uncle Wang tell his nephew, how did you know this news?" ”
As soon as he heard Ye Jingxing's words, King Duan immediately came back to his senses, looked at him and said, "Do you think there is something wrong with this?" ”
Duan Wang had just finished saying this, and before Ye Jingxing could speak, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly walked in at this time.
Seeing Xu Shiqiu approaching in such a hurry, Ye Jingxing and Duanwang immediately noticed that something was wrong, and without the two of them asking, Xu Shiqiu said directly: "Ye Jingde is gone." ”
