Chapter 185: King Lijun ascends the throne
Wei Xi's brows loosened invisibly, and after a while, the expression on his face became heavy again.
"The prince went to see the princess, I'm afraid that after a long time, Weichen can't hold it off."
Wei Ci nodded, and then looked at Sheng Mingzhu and Guan Ping. Guan Ping got up from his position and said, "If something like this happened to the princess, the prince was sad when he thought about it, so my wife and I stayed for a while." Sheng Mingzhu also got up from his position, Wei Xi made a gesture to send the two out of the mansion, Sheng Mingzhu frowned slightly, "The prince still goes to see the county lord first, and we can leave the mansion by ourselves." β
Wei Ci's gaze fell on Sheng Mingzhu, and quickly turned away again.
When they entered the house again, Sheng Mingzhu and Guan Ping had already gotten up to get up. When she looked outside, she could just see through the corner of the screen - she couldn't see it clearly, she only vaguely saw the hem of Wei Xi's clothes, and a pair of feet belonging to a woman, and the faint smell of blood in the room, it seemed that she could see it.
Outside the door, when the night breeze blew, there was nothing.
ββ
returned to the mansion with Guan Ping, and Sheng Mingzhu was still thinking about Jiang Runyan.
In the past, when she was a girl, she had a very unhappy quarrel with Jiang Runyan, and even you lived and died. But now that she is in such a situation, Sheng Mingzhu can't say that she is sympathetic, but she is not gloating. It's just that I always feel that her premature birth is really weird, especially thinking about a stillborn baby today, and she is blue and black.
She is about to become a mother, and when she thinks of that scene, Sheng Mingzhu always feels very uncomfortable.
On the side, Guan Pingxu saw her thoughts, and said, "The imperial doctor said that it was poisoned, instead of thinking in a complicated direction, it is better to think simply, who is the person who doesn't want this child the most." β
Sheng Mingzhu looked at him, "But Jiang Runyan also-didn't Wei Xi still count on the eldest princess to help him?" Now that the master of Najiang County is gone, and the child is gone, can the princess still help him? β
Guan Ping only shook his head and smiled, "Don't you understand Wei Ci?" Now that the crown prince has invited himself to guard the imperial mausoleum, he is the only prince left who His Majesty can stand. In his heart, whether the eldest princess helps or not, he is the future prince. Maybe I will need to use the power of the eldest princess to suppress me in the future, but at that time he was already the emperor, and his status with the eldest princess was not as unequal as it is now. β
In Wei Ci's heart, it is naturally Menqing'er.
Sheng Mingzhu thought about it, and his heart suddenly cooled. In the end, it was still a pity, not for Jiang Runyan, for the sake of the child in her womb, and looked at Guan Ping, thinking about what he said just now, "Now that the throne has been suspended for so long, what are you going to do?" Do you really want Wei Ci to be the emperor? β
Sheng Mingzhu naturally didn't like Wei Xi in his heart.
"It looks like it's just him." Guan Ping Road.
Sheng Mingzhu's brows furrowed, but Guan Ping stroked her eyebrows and smiled again, "Even if it's just him, it won't be him." "A person who covets his wife, let alone the emperor, or the puppet emperor, has no part in him. Sheng Mingzhu frowned, "But as soon as you go to court tomorrow, those courtiers will probably have opinions." β
Guan Ping only touched her abdomen, "You don't have to worry about these, I'll take care of it." β
After thinking about it again, now that he has just come back, he wants to accompany her all the time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to deal with so many things in the court, so he said, "If you don't go back to your mother-in-law these days, I'm afraid I won't have so much time to accompany you." With my mother-in-law by my side, I am also relieved. β
Sheng Mingzhu nodded, "It's okay, these days, my mother is probably worried about me." β
ββ
The next day, the Seven Kings' Mansion was already mourned. Jiang Runyan died as soon as he came out of the womb, so naturally he couldn't mourn, so he just mourned the princess.
Wei Ci took a breath of relief after a long time, he gave Jiang Runyan that the poison was not light, and the doctor said that there must be two deaths, but he didn't expect that the imperial doctor still had some skills, and almost saved Jiang Runyan. There is no proof of death, he is not afraid of his aunt, but if Jiang Runyan or the eldest princess will sue, he will not be able to say anything.
Now in such a situation, she suspects that he can also use many excuses to prevaricate the past.
Thinking like this, he put on his court clothes and prepared to go to court under the service of the people in the house. At today's court meeting, he has already agreed with his subordinates, this prince will be established today, and there was such a thing as the prince before, presumably the courtiers have a wake-up call in their hearts, and they will not think of a second time.
There will inevitably be pressure on Guan Ping's side.
But as Wei Xi thought, above today's court meeting, the position of the prince has been established, and it is also him who is elected by everyone, otherwise what else? But just when he was full of satisfaction and thought that his throne was a certainty, Guan Ping suddenly pulled out a holy decree, saying that it was the will of the first emperor.
If he is appointed as the emperor, Guan Ping will definitely not take this will out in one more move.
It was the King of Lijun who was appointed as the emperor - the king of Lijun was also the son of Emperor Wei, but he had passed on to Emperor Wei's brother many years ago. It's not that he doesn't like King Lijun, but because King Lijun was Emperor Wei's favorite son when he was young, so he passed on to his childless brother. Emperor Wei's half-brother had a very close relationship with Emperor Wei, and even the cause of death was because he saved Emperor Wei on the battlefield.
Perhaps only by passing on his favorite son to him did Emperor Wei feel that it was a compensation.
Now that the king of Lijun has been established, many courtiers couldn't figure it out at first, but soon thought of the past many years ago. There's nothing to worry about - King Lijun has not been involved in the court for many years, and now so many people's eyes are suddenly around him, and he is still stunned for a while.
"Since there is a holy decree, why didn't the Marquis of Dingguo take it out before? It has only been taken out until now, and the king of Lijun has already passed to the emperor's uncle, according to the rules of the Great Wei, it is natural that he cannot inherit the throne, and if the father wants the prince of the county to inherit the throne, he will not be succeeded many years ago. β
Wei Xi knew that since Guan Ping had revealed this holy decree, he had already made a perfect plan.
But it's like a boiled duck that has reached its mouth, and suddenly someone picks it up and takes it away, and I can't suppress this feeling, so I ask such a question.
Guan Ping only smiled and said, "This holy decree was written by His Majesty himself" and looked at Song Ge Lao again, "Ge Lao has been His Majesty's teacher before, and if you want to come to Your Majesty's handwriting, Ge Lao should know it." As he spoke, he put the holy decree in the hands of the old man who sent the pavilion.
Song Ge took it cautiously, looked at it again, and after a while, his throat trembled, and his eyes were slightly red, "The old minister has been with His Majesty for so many years, and he will not mistake His Majesty's handwriting." This is what His Majesty wrote in his own handβthe King of Lili County is the emperor. After that, he looked at King Lijun again.
King Lijun was passed out a long time ago, maybe he was a little unwilling before, but now he has long been away from the imperial power, and he has been an idle prince for so many years, and he slammed such a big cake on his head, in addition to being unbelievable or unbelievable, he looked at Wei Xi on the side.
The prince and Wei Xi have been fighting for all these years, and they have earned their heads and blood, and now they have fallen on their heads so lightly?
King Lijun was still a little incredulous, but Guan Ping had already read out the holy decree in front of many courtiers, and asked Wang Fu, who had been serving in front of Emperor Wei before, to come out and give the holy decree to everyone one by one. Wei Xi only relied on the eldest princess, to put it bluntly, what he was thinking about before was that there was no prince available in the court.
He will surely be able to ascend the throne.
But I didn't expect that now Guan Ping's bottom of the kettle is drawing salary, and he actually found such a person as King Lijun. Now whether this holy decree is true or not, it doesn't matter to the courtiers, what matters is who Guan Ping wants to support - today's originally high-spirited Wei Xi suddenly withered.
In the end, the imperial power can't be seen or touched, but it is what he has always wanted with such evil thoughts, and now it has come to naught in an instant, and then what Guan Ping said, Wei Xi didn't listen seriously.
ββ
The enthronement ceremony of the new emperor was three days later.
Originally, it shouldn't have been in such a hurry, it was always necessary to let someone calculate an auspicious day of the zodiac, and arrange everything needed before the enthronement ceremony. But in the end, the throne has been hanging for so long, and these days the people of the Great Wei Dynasty have also been in turmoil, and now the new emperor has ascended the throne, which can be regarded as a long drought and nectar, giving the people of the Great Wei a reassurance.
Guan Ping handed over the enthronement to the Ministry of Rites, and hurriedly went to deal with some side matters, and hurriedly returned to the house.
Sheng Mingzhu is still living in the Guanfu now, because she is pregnant, Yun Niang will worry about her food every day, Shen Rong has nothing to do in the Guanfu, these days
A few days ago, Lingzhu also came back from the academy, and the original little group has now become a slim girl. Sheng Mingzhu was sitting in the courtyard with Yun Niang eating freshly picked fruits, so she looked at Huang's mother coming over, and looked at what was in the tray from a distance. Sheng Mingzhu's eyes hadn't touched it, he only smelled a smell of medicine, and his brows furrowed.
"I'm about to be a mother, and I'm still so small" Yun Niang caught a glimpse of the expression on her daughter's face, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
"I'm still upset when my sister sees me", Lingzhu came out from behind Huang's mother. These days, she always goes out to participate in some poetry clubs and book clubs, and when she looks at the current dress, she is dressed in a white shirt, and there is no jewelry on her head, but a white hairband ties up her black hair, and she knows that she has just come back from outside.
Sheng Mingzhu smiled, "Where did you go this early in the morning?" β
Lingzhu has loved reading since she was a child, and now that she is older, the bookish breath on her body is heavier. is different from the previous Song Yu, Song Yu is a scholarly temperament engraved in his bones, while Lingzhu is different, sometimes more like Sheng Qian. Sheng Mingzhu thought of those things in the dream again, and looked at the Lingzhu who was now bowing her head and drinking water, could she really become the first female appearance of Da Wei, her sister?
"This morning, Song Ge gave a lecture, so I went to listen." Lingzhu Road.
Now that a month has passed, Sheng Mingzhu has not yet shown her pregnancy. However, every day at home, he is fed and fed by Yun Niang, and now his face is rounded. Lingzhu looked at her sister and sighed, "Now that the dust has settled, my brother-in-law is fine." Otherwise, my sister was picked up by the prince, and I don't know what will happen in the future? β
Shen Rong also said, "Don't talk about that incident at that time, I'm angry when I think of it, that grandma is really holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and I have never seen such a reasonable and bold minion." β
Sheng Mingzhu shook his head, "Now that the Prince's Mansion is gone, there is nothing to worry about if you want to worry about those things." β
As if thinking of something, Sheng Mingzhu sighed again. Lingzhu raised his eyes on the side, maybe there will always be some heart-to-heart connection between sisters
place, "Is my sister thinking about Yongning?" "The prince's family said that they invited themselves to guard the imperial mausoleum, but everyone knows what the state of the imperial mausoleum is.
After all, it's a royal family, and you might be able to live a life full of servants over there. But in the end, it can't be compared with the capital of Great Wei.
Especially after all these years of living this prosperous life on the side of Dawei, I suddenly went there, and I must be a little unacceptable psychologically.
"Yongning is a good girl, and it's easy to get along with people, but it's a pity." Shen Rong said on the side.
Sheng Mingzhu didn't say anything more. It would be inappropriate to say some sympathetic words, after all, everything in the Prince's Mansion was caused by her husband now, and although she and Yongning were friends, they couldn't interfere with these things - maybe it was like this now, Yongning was a simple person, whether she grew up in the capital or in the imperial tomb, there was always her way.
Sheng Mingzhu didn't like the prince back then, because of Sheng Guogong.
But now I also know that my grandfather's death has nothing to do with the prince, and now he just looks at a passerby. Now that the prince's family has gone to the imperial mausoleum, it is not as good as here in the capital, and it should be a rich life.
"There are too many things in this world, and you can control yourself, but you can't control others."
Yun Niang was afraid that Sheng Mingzhu was pregnant and thinking too many things, so she said. Soon got up again, and followed Huang's mother to leave, "It's time for the master to come back in a while, I'll go and see if the things in the kitchen are ready?" You girls talk a little bit together. β
