Chapter 167: Reclaiming the Throne
Chu Lixue was holding the edict that had been being searched for in her hand, and it was hidden in her wedding dress, no wonder Empress Dowager Bai and the people who respected the king didn't find the edict no matter how they searched for it, but if this edict was taken out at that time, maybe the current emperor is Nangong Yihan, if that's really the case, then nothing can happen between them.
She will not travel here, nor will she marry him twice, she is destined to accompany him all the way to the throne, and she is destined to never be able to stay with him until she is old. But in any case, now that the original edict has been found, it means that it is time for Yihan to regain the throne.
"Remnant Snow, Remnant Moon, Li Ping." Chu Lixue said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the three of them appeared in front of Chu Lixue at a very fast speed, "The three of you, go to Dingnan Wangfu, Ningwangfu, and Jiang Guogong Mansion respectively, and say that I have important matters to discuss with the prince, and after the people are invited, please directly enter the Yayuan." ”
"Yes." The three of them were ordered to go out, and Chu Lixue took Ning Xiang to Yayuan together.
Yayuan is King Chen's own courtyard, and there are heavy soldiers, so others naturally can't listen to the news inside. Wanyue and the other three left the palace, each chose a direction and left. There is no need to negotiate, this is the tacit understanding between them.
Chu Lixue came to King Chen's study and took out the edict, King Chen saw the edict and just smiled faintly, "It's not important anymore, if it was before, maybe I would care about the throne, but now that you are by my side, it's enough." ”
Hearing King Chen say this, Chu Lixue's heart was sweet, she didn't expect King Chen to want the country for her, she originally thought that when she took the edict of the former emperor to King Chen, King Chen would choose the country, or he would have to make his own suggestions, or he would be eager to find someone to discuss, but she didn't expect King Chen to really give up for her.
"Lord Wang, will you regret it?" Chu Lixue looked at King Chen's eyes and said softly.
"No, it won't." King Chen also looked at Chu Lixue with sincere eyes.
Chu Lixue believed that King Chen would not lie to her, because she saw sincerity in his eyes, in this case, Chu Lixue was willing to accompany King Chen forever, even if he really wanted to ascend the throne one day, because King Chen did not belong to her Chu Lixue alone, but to the people of the world.
At this time, King Ning, King Dingnan, Jiang Guogong and Jiang Tian all came to King Chen's mansion, Chu Lixue took out the edict, King Ning is the younger brother of the former emperor, naturally he is familiar with the other party's notes, this edict is well preserved, and it is coated with waterproof things, it seems that this is specially hidden by Chu Xiang.
But wasn't that edict burned by the Queen Mother? How can it still appear? And it appeared in Princess Chen's wedding dress, thinking of this, King Ning couldn't help but look at Chu Lixue with scrutinizing eyes.
"Princess Chen, can you explain to this king, how can there be the edict of the emperor in your wedding dress?"
Hearing this, Chu Lixue pursed her lips, she knew that one day her truth would no longer be able to be hidden, since she hoped that King Ning could help King Chen, then she also had to show a sincere attitude.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, I am Chu Lixue, Chu Duyun's second daughter, when the Queen Mother forced my sister to marry King Chen, but my sister had a marriage contract, so I was Li Dai Taozhuang, and I also hid it for a while, and then the prince went to Southern Chu, I escorted grain and grass, and was attacked and chased on the way, I didn't want them to catch me and threaten the prince with my faith, so I chose to die, but after I jumped off the cliff, I was washed downstream by the river, and I happened to meet people from the Medicine King Valley passing by, they rescued me back, and taught me poison skills, Later, I met the eldest princess and his wife, and you also know what happened after that. ”
Chu Lixue briefly told the story, King Ning was very shocked, he didn't expect that the life of jumping off the cliff was already a miracle, but this person came back with a new identity, and no one found out, it was even more unbelievable, it seems that there is really a destiny in the dark.
"So what do Yalan and Wen Ding know about this matter?" King Ning said in an affirmative tone. Seeing Chu Lixue nodding slightly, her heart was clear, his sister Princess Yalan naturally would not casually recognize a strange woman as a righteous daughter, think about it carefully, Yalan has a knot with the Queen Mother in her heart, if she thinks about it, she must know Chu Lixue's true identity.
King Ning's eyes looked at Shangguan Tianyu and Jiang Tian again, and saw that the two of them looked indifferent, knowing that these two people also knew about it a long time ago, and they were also acting with them, which really deceived the eyes of many people.
"Is it difficult, but does anyone doubt your identity?" King Ning said with some concern. Chu Lixue's work for people, King Ning is very appreciative, especially Chu Lixue contributed all the grain and grass of King Chen's Mansion to the disaster area, and she can also come up with ideas to let those rich armor in the city donate together, she is really a smart woman.
"So what do you mean?" King Ning naturally supported King Chen's ascension to the throne as the emperor, and he also knew that it was the empress dowager's edict tampered with, at that time, he was still fighting with the moonlit night country between Beichen and Dongyu, and failed to come back in time, when he came back, Chu Xiang was actually decapitated for tampering with the edict.
I didn't expect that a few years have passed, and this edict can still reappear in the world, it seems that God can't get used to Nangong's comfortable approach, and wants to change the dynasty.
"Uncle Wang, it's enough for me to have Lixue by my side now, if they want the throne, then give it to them." King Chen said lightly.
"What? You don't want the country for the sake of beauty? Look at what the current Beichen Kingdom has become, the ministers of the court, the civil and political affairs, the martial arts do not think about war, Nangong Anyi is just thinking about enjoying all day long, and now he often lingers in the harem, do you want to let the country of Beichen be defeated in his hands? King Ning said angrily.
Among his nephews, King Chen is his favorite nephew, if the Queen Mother didn't do that, it would be okay for Nangong Anyi to be his prince, but their mother and son, for their own desires, ignored tens of millions of people, and his strength alone was irreparable.
Now it's different, Chu Lixue has the handwritten edict of the first emperor in her hand, which can prove that the Empress Dowager Bai and Nangong Anyi are plotting to usurp the throne.
"His Royal Highness King Chen, can you listen to me?" Jiang Tian said softly.
King Chen bowed slightly, signaling Jiang Tian to continue, Jiang Tian smiled faintly, "Since the throne originally belonged to the prince, then the prince should take it back, now the atmosphere in the court is very bad, the emperor is indulging in pleasure, and the people have already complained, could it be that the prince thinks that someone really can't stand it anymore, and he raises troops to destroy Nangong Anyi?" At that time, I am afraid that the wish in the prince's heart will also be disappointed. As for the princess, she is a smart woman, and we in Beichen also need such a benevolent queen, but we need to plan and act before we can do it. ”
Listening to Jiang Tian's words, King Chen nodded slightly, he admitted that Jiang Tian's words were very right, but if he became the emperor, then he needed to marry those women he didn't like into the palace in order to consolidate the imperial power and balance the forces of all parties, so he promised Chu Lixue a lifetime and a couple, and he couldn't fulfill it, no, he is now a dishonest person, isn't Bai Ruyan in the backyard a living example?
"Yihan, uncle doesn't want our Nangong family to fall into the hands of that kid An Yi like this, this throne is your responsibility." King Ning said coldly.
Hearing this, King Chen looked at Chu Lixue, he really didn't want the world of the Nangong family to fall like this, and he didn't want to see the scene of wolf smoke everywhere and the lives of the people were devastated.
How could Chu Lixue not know that King Chen is a person who cares about the world, such a person is destined to stand in a high place, that dazzling position, how can she be selfish to make him give up the ideal in her heart, if so, they will not be happy in the future.
Thinking of this, Chu Lixue said lightly: "Lord, the concubine also supports you to fight with him for this throne, but if we fight for it now, it will be said to be a rebellion, and the concubine body doesn't want you to have such a stain on your body." Today's emperor is indulged in pleasure and never cares about the people, such an emperor, his throne is already crumbling, it is better for us to secretly prepare and wait for him to take the initiative to give up the throne. ”
"Let him voluntarily give up the throne? A person like him who loves power, if he really has the people in his heart, he will not create any public resentment boiling. King Ning said coldly. He only felt that Chu Lixue was worried about his position in King Chen's heart, and if he didn't fight for it now, he was clearly making excuses for his selfishness.
Chu Lixue naturally saw King Ning's thoughts and knew that he must have misunderstood himself. Then he said: "Uncle Ning, I, Chu Lixue, am not a person who is greedy for power, but if we publicize this edict now, it will only be accused of plotting rebellion by someone with a heart, even if the current emperor is not in a thousand ways, then he is also the emperor, and the queen mother was able to tamper with the edict smoothly and support her son to ascend the throne, and there is evidence that the edict in my father's hand is fake, it is enough to show that the power behind her cannot be underestimated, if it only relies on the ability of the Bai family's mother, I don't believe that she dares to do this." ”
"What do you mean......" King Ning frowned, he didn't think about the huge power behind the Empress Dowager Bai, but what could someone who could help her like this get?
King Jing and Empress Dowager Bai, many old people in the court know, but will King Jing really help the Bai family tamper with the edict? What's in it for King Jing? Isn't he still a prince like before, as for the military power, the talisman that came to his hand has not yet been warmed, but was it designed by Chu Lixue and returned to the Jiang family? Jiang Guogong or Jiang Tian, no matter who holds the military power, it is loyal to Beichen Kingdom, and he absolutely believes this.
Just look at Chu Lixue's invitation to the Jiang family's father and son today, and secretly healed Jiang Tian's legs, it can be seen that Chu Lixue is also a person who is good at employing people, such a woman is destined to assist Fujun to sit in the world together.
"Uncle Wang knows very well that if the Bai clan has no one to help, then it is impossible for her to seize the throne no matter what, and King Jing also does not have this strength."
Thinking of this, King Ning had to admire the teenage girl in front of him, he had lived for so many years, he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, at this time, he was not as far-reaching as this girl, it seemed that he was really old.
"So, tell me, what are we going to do?" King Ning looked at Chu Lixue with a faint smile.
