Chapter 183: Tanuki for Prince
"Not human?"
The emperor stared at the queen angrily, and asked sadly,
The incident back then was not only the matter of the six princes, mother and son, but the emperor realized a terrible thing in that matter, that is, as an emperor, his authority back then was threatened, which may be nothing for the traitor, but for a high-ranking and powerful emperor, it is simply an insult.
"yes, you saw it back then, too."
The queen looked at the emperor in a daze, only to see the emperor walk to Ning Xuanli's side, stared at the queen again, and asked in a deep voice, "See clearly?" This is my youngest son, the one who should have sat on the throne of the crown prince back then. ”
"No, how could it be him? He was clearly a crumpled raccoon ......."
The queen mother who said this stopped suddenly, shook her head and said in fear: "Impossible, that child is recuperating in the National Temple, how can it be the young master of the General's Mansion?" ”
Gong Xuanjing looked at Ning Xuanli in a daze, and asked in disbelief: "Father, what do you mean by this?" This is clearly Ning Gongzi, the young master of the General's Mansion, how can it be my sixth brother? ”
"You must not ask your good queen mother yet."
Gong Xuanjing, who heard this, looked at his mother, only to see the queen trembling and falling at the emperor's feet: "Throughout last year, you have been pouring all your power into fighting the forces of the three princes and the five princes, and the concubines still think that you are paving the way for the crown prince, and now it seems that all this you are doing is for the six princes, right?" ”
"Yes."
"In order to protect the six princes from becoming the common enemies of all the princes, even if you have prepared the holy decree in private, you have kept the position of the prince of Jing'er for a long time, so that the third child will regard my Jing'er as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, right?"
The emperor was not annoyed by the queen's questioning, but was very frank: "I do anything, why do I have to explain to a woman like you, although you are the queen, but the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, for so many years, you have only focused on the previous dynasty, staring at my princes, you don't know?" ”
"Hahaha, you really still hold a grudge against the things of the year, the concubine was helpless back then, the concubine she gave birth to is not a normal person, the concubine is the queen of a country, so she naturally has the right to deal with this matter."
"Your so-called disposition is to execute the noble concubine and then the child, isn't it?"
Ning Xuanli's eyes looked at her calmly, and his tone was calm and calm, but the atmosphere in the room suddenly became low, and when the emperor saw Ning Xuanli talking, he didn't speak again, and sat aside.
"This palace did not execute the noble concubine back then, and the death of the noble concubine has nothing to do with the concubine's body, Your Majesty. When the concubine mentioned the matter of the tanuki changing the prince, and exchanged the safety of the tanuki for the position of the prince of my mirror, you agreed, and the front foot issued a holy decree, and the back foot you sent the newborn tanuki to the national temple overnight, and then the concubine never dealt with the matter of the noble concubine. The concubine really didn't execute the concubine. ”
"Then you mean, the noble concubine committed suicide?"
Back then, the noble concubine gave birth to a child desperately, and before she even had time to look at it, she was taken away by the queen's people, as a mother, how could she commit suicide?
However, when the concubine was in confinement, the medicine she drank every day was given chronic poison, and the confinement was full, but the person became thinner and thinner, and died in a few days.
The emperor was furious and personally checked what was strange in the medicine he drank every day, but after checking and checking, the people in the hospital shirked and shirked, and there was not a word of truth in everyone's mouth, and after a long time, they couldn't find out.
"This palace really doesn't know, although this palace was derelict in its duties back then, and didn't take care of that noble concubine, but don't forget, the emperor, back then, you were angry with the concubine because of this matter, deprived the concubine of the right to take charge of the six palaces, and confined the concubine to Kunning Palace for two whole months, during which time you mentioned the Jing concubine to assist the sixth palace."
"Huh."
Ning Xuanli only snorted coldly when he heard this, but that look told the few people present that he didn't believe it.
Gong Xuanjing listened to it, what happened back then was understood at this moment, he didn't believe that the civet cat in his mother's mouth would be the Ning Xuanli in front of him, he got up and walked to Ning Xuanli, and knelt down with a plop, startling several people present.
"Sixth brother, I used to think that the relationship between us was unusual, I was just reading books day and night, but I never thought that you were really my own brother. What happened back then, it was my mother who did wrong, for so many years, I occupied your position as the crown prince, and now I pay you back, you don't resent my queen mother anymore. ”
Ning Xuanli helped the person up, pursed his thin lips, and looked at Gong Xuanjing fixedly: "I can finally call you second brother." ”
As soon as these words were spoken, Gong Xuanjing breathed a sigh of relief, patted Ning Xuanli's shoulder and said, "It's still Gong Xuanli who listens to it." ”
Seeing these two children like this, the queen's face was not very good-looking, although the emotions in her heart turned upside down, but after all, she didn't say anything more, if she had been in the past, she might still fight, but this palace mirror can come back from the dead, it is the happiest thing in her life,
"Gong Xuanli, you are very good, very good!!"
Gong Xuanli should have calculated this, unless the queen is crazy, so this situation will force that Gong Xuanjing to compete for the position of prince.
After saying two good things in a row, her eyes looked at the emperor, and she sarcastically said unceremoniously: "It's really embarrassing for you, the emperor, arranged for this palace Xuanli to be the prince's companion since childhood, the same Taifu master, received the same education as the prince, and practiced the same royal etiquette, he now has this plan, and you and the palace are calculated, and Jing'er has no hope of ascending the throne, which is in line with your mind for so many years, right?" ”
"Hehe, the young master of the General's Mansion."
The queen didn't know who she was sarcastic, she stared at Gong Xuanli for a moment, and said with a smile like a little crazy: "General Ning has a heavy army, since the little emperor, you have already divided such a big force into Gong Xuanli's sphere of influence, you are really eccentric, you are really patient enough, this plan you have been lurking for fifteen years, you will send people to the National Temple on the front foot, and you will send the general's mansion on the back foot, paving the back road for Gong Xuanli early in the morning, and hiding it so without leaking traces, it is really difficult for you." ”
"The same is true for you, the queen, you have not bothered much in the previous dynasty for so many years, and now that Jing'er has become the king of the domain, you have nothing to do, you can also collect your heart, and learn how to go to Zen and worship the Buddha with Concubine Jing."
The queen just smiled sarcastically when she heard this, she was full of exhaustion, slumped on the rattan chair, barely able to stabilize her body, so many years of hard work, I thought that Gong Xuanjing was dead, and all my efforts were in vain.
However, now that her son is still standing in front of her eyes, she has also weakened her determination to have her son ascend the throne, and the emperor has already laid out a plan since fifteen years ago, where can she be allowed to disrupt it.
"Yes, the concubine obeys."
"Okay, Jing'er, you send your mother back to the palace, take your family early tomorrow morning, and be escorted to Jiangnan by the Imperial Forest Army."
"Yes, my son is commanded."
Gong Xuanjing glanced at Gong Xuanli, and then helped his mother out of the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, he was going to leave early tomorrow morning, leaving them only one night for their mother and son to talk about intimate words.
The moon outside was dark and the wind was high, and the strong wind was howling, Ning Xuanli glanced at the night outside, and estimated that it was already time.
"Father, my son has a request."
The emperor was also a little tired, and seeing that he had a rare request, he nodded and asked, "What request?" ”
"Erchen wants you to give a decree to marry the sixth prince and the young lady of the general's mansion Ning Zimo as soon as possible," Ning Xuanli knelt down, as if the emperor didn't agree, he would kneel for a night.
Seeing his firm expression, the emperor nodded and said: "Naturally, I want to give a decree to give marriage, after all, she is now pregnant with your child, and if she doesn't give her a name, her face is really disgraceful, and besides, this is the heir of our royal family, how can we tolerate such wild speculation from those untouchables." ”
Hearing this, Gong Xuanli knew, the unbearable rumors spread to the palace, the emperor's ears and eyes were numerous, how everyone spread it, the emperor couldn't have known. But this matter can't be rushed, tomorrow I will have a message, the prince's funeral will stop, and tomorrow I will receive the prince of Yanbei, there are many things, and when the prince of Yanbei leaves Beijing, I will give you a decree to marry. ”
"Yes, thank you in advance."
When Ning Xuanli heard these affirmative words, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his chest, and he smiled like a stupid boy, but the emperor felt that it was inappropriate when he saw this, and thought of the time before, this palace Xuanli deliberately ran to him and asked him not to give the general's mansion Miss Yan to others.
The throne in the future, the emperor is going to give this palace Xuanli, as an emperor, there can be such a dedicated person in his heart, such a deep feeling, an emperor should not have, if this palace Xuanli is just an ordinary prince, but now Gong Xuanli is going to take over the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in his hands in the future, and he really shouldn't be like this because of a woman.
As soon as he thought of this, he whispered and reproached: "You are also going to be the person who is going to be the emperor, and you are so unhappy and unproportionate."
Gong Xuanli was only happy in his heart, and he didn't hear what the emperor said, and he was anxious to tell the news to the woman in the general's mansion, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left the palace overnight.
When Eunuch Kui came in, he saw that the emperor was rubbing his eyes, and hurriedly walked over: "Your Majesty, you have rested, it's been three watches, and you still have to receive the prince of Yanbei tomorrow, I heard that this afternoon, the prince of Yanbei has arrived in the capital and is being arranged in the post station." ”
The emperor didn't pay attention to Eunuch Kui's words, but he was still thinking about his own affairs, and only whispered after a while: "That woman is already pregnant, so she will definitely follow her man with all her heart, even if it is a side concubine, I don't dare to disrespect the general's mansion." ”
