Chapter 123: Long Live My Emperor
The bad news spread throughout the palace in a moment, and there was a sad wail in the palace from the time of the subordinates. After all, the emperor did not survive the New Year.
The inside and outside of the emperor's dormitory were surrounded by guards on the inner and outer three floors, and several trusted ministers were waiting with solemn eyes, because until now, no one knew which prince won the final victory.
When Ye Yufu learned the news, her reaction was calmer than she expected. Although he didn't cry loudly, his heart was very depressed. Alone for a long time, he hurriedly went to mourn Ye Duanli with the rest of the harem.
Lehi knelt on the ground and silently looked at Ye Duanli, who was lying on the collapse with a peaceful face. This great victorious virtuous monarch finally returned to the west with a crane and left with the thought of his deceased wife.
When Ye Duanli closed his eyes, he was talking about Song Cai, the long-deceased Song Guifei.
Li Hai kowtowed a few times, and his heart was also full of pain, although his real master was Ye Yugui, but Ye Duan treated him well, and when Ye Yugui was sent to the throne, he could also resign and return to his hometown.
After he finally looked back at Ye Duan, who was dressed in a bright yellow imperial robe, he finally stroked his robe and pushed open the closed door.
A group of people knelt down outside the door, the scene was spectacular, several princes knelt in the first row, and even the prince who was locked up in confinement lowered his head at the moment and resisted the urge to cry.
The rows of concubines in the back were crying uncontrollably, and some even fainted from crying. Spent delicate makeup. And among them, the most calm are Queen Wang and Concubine Song Shu, who are the role models of the harem.
Queen Wang has changed into a silver-white plain dress, only a white chrysanthemum is pinned to her high bun, her face is pale and her lips are pursed, and her eyes have glanced at Ye Yugui, the seventh prince who is kneeling in front of her.
And Song Wei is also plain, and her eyes are closed, and she finally seems to be chanting some scriptures, but her crumbling body also shows her current sadness.
Lehi looked at the heavy man who was kneeling on the ground, and it took a long time for him to cough a few times and then say loudly.
"The emperor drove the crane back to the west, and before he died, he told the old ministers that the holy decree with the name of the new emperor was placed behind the plaque in the middle of the study."
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a deep breath, and no one dared to speak first. Later, Liu Taibao, Liu Shang, who was the most trusted by the emperor, took down the holy decree behind the plaque in the study with the guards.
Liu Shang trembled and held the holy decree, and was a little flustered for a while, and now no one knows whose name is written on this holy decree.
Li Hai took the holy decree, cleared his throat, and then slowly opened it, and the golden bronzing cloth was Ye Duanli's own handwriting. What is clearly written on it is the name of the Seven Princes Ye Yugui.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Yu Wen Huangtian's fate is not normal, but it is only due to virtue. The seventh son of the emperor, Ye Yu, returned to Wen Taowu, with a pure temperament, frugality, benevolence and filial piety. Respect the relatives of heaven and earth, and love the people of the world. There is the appearance of Yao Shun, the ability of the sage, worrying about the national plan, Zhenshuo Dynasty, and being an artifact. I plan for the blessings of the common people in the world. He was established as the new emperor, the emperor of Zhaoji, and the people of the heavens. The whole world celebrates, amnesties the world, and ascends the throne after the throne of Zen. ”
No matter how much Ye Duanli didn't like Ye Yugui's child, in the end, he still chose to compromise for the sake of the entire Shengjiang society.
Ye Yugui kowtowed, then took the holy decree that symbolized the throne and slowly stood up from the ground. The next turn, the face has become quite majestic.
Ye Yufu and the princesses knelt on the ground, their eyes closed, feeling the cold touch coming from the floor of the hall to their knees. Listening to Ye Yugui's speech standing above 10,000 people.
The hand was clenched again and again, and finally it was weakly released. Now I just want to win a big victory in the future and everything will be well. In front of the country, she is nothing.
Although Ye Yugui has attracted many ministers to submit to him in recent years, his influence in the court is still far less than that of the crown prince, so even now, many ministers are glaring at him angrily.
After a stalemate, the first to speak out was Ye Yushen, who had been quiet.
Ye Yushen's figure is much thinner than a few months ago, his cheeks are sunken, and his eyes are not as bright as before. But even with this appearance, he still has a majesty that people can't ignore. Because he was afraid that he had done something wrong and was locked up. After all, he is the crown prince, the only prince of this great victory dynasty.
I saw him raise his head and look at Ye Yugui for a long time, then lowered his head, and his voice was loud: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
As soon as Ye Yushen's words came out, everyone in the harem kowtowed, and one voice was higher than one voice: "Congratulations to my emperor on his ascension to the great treasure, long live the new emperor." ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Several ministers, who were originally reluctant, could only kneel on the ground when they saw that the general trend had gone.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Ye Yufu followed the kowtowing crowd and bowed their heads, but they couldn't say a word anyway. She tilted her head and looked at Ye Yushen who buried her head deep in the ground with sad eyes.
What kind of mood should the second emperor brother be at this moment. And what will the three emperor brothers under Jiuquan do when they see this situation.
Just as she was thinking like this, Queen Wang, who was originally quiet, suddenly stood up from the ground as if she was crazy and ran directly in the direction of Ye Yugui. There was a light of hatred in his eyes.
The guards didn't have time to intercept it, and when they saw Wang Jiao'e running in front of Ye Yugui, they took out a pair of scissors from their sleeves and were about to stab them.
Ye Yuguida found out that Wang Jiao'e was unusual from the beginning, and thought that she probably knew that the death of the third prince had something to do with him.
He sneered in his heart, he gave his mother countless opportunities to make up for the mistakes he had made. But in the end, he still only thought about Ye Yuxuan alone.
Just when the scissors in Wang Jiao'e's hand were only an inch away from Ye Yugui, three masked black-clothed people came out of nowhere, two of them were protecting Ye Yugui, and the other person had already grabbed Wang Jiao'e's wrist and twisted it outward. The sharp scissors fell to the ground. And the other hand had already unknowingly shot out three silver needles.
Wang Jiao'e took a few steps back in pain, opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she couldn't say it anyway. Only a hoarse roar can be made.
Immediately after that, her vision of looking at Ye Yugui gradually became blurred. The next moment it crashed to the ground.
All these things happened in a matter of moments, and before everyone even had time to think, they saw the king and queen fall to the ground unconscious.
But there is one thing that everyone can see very clearly, that is, Queen Wang is holding scissors and obviously wants to kill Ye Yugui. If it weren't for the timely appearance of these black-clothed men who seemed to be guards, then Ye Yugui would have become the fastest emperor to die in history.
Although it was on top of the main hall, everyone was uncontrollably discussing. Could it be that this king and queen are demonic to do this kind of thing that wants to kill their son.
But in the entire hall, only Ye Yufu guessed the real reason for Wang Jiao'e's behavior.
She raised her head without a trace, looked at Ye Yugui who was not shocked, and frowned slightly.
Ye Yugui, who was far away, noticed her gaze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"The queen mother's behavior has been a little abnormal since she beat the third emperor brother, and today I am afraid that my father will die and be sad and unbearable, so I will do something delirious."
"Come on, help the queen mother back to the Fengyi Palace, and you can't release it without my order."
This farce was finally turned over in Ye Yugui's simple words, but it undoubtedly put a thorn in everyone's hearts.
It is impossible for the queen to do anything to hurt her own flesh and blood when she is delirious. I'm afraid that there is another reason for this.
That night, the entire palace was busy inside and out, and the people in all the palaces and halls were all dressed in plain clothes. Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to mess around.
Ye Yufu came out of the main hall and first went to Song Wei's palace.
Song Wei has been praying for the royal family of Dasheng for more than half a year, eating fasting and reciting Buddha every day. And most of the subordinates in the palace were also sent to other palaces because they had no errands.
When Ye Yufu came, there was only one maid beside Song Wei to report.
Song Wei was dressed in pure white satin, and her hair was combed in the simplest bun. With his hands on his forehead, his body was half-leaning on the soft chair weakly. His face was calm, but his lips were pursed. As soon as he heard Ye Yufu's voice, he opened his mouth leisurely.
"Fu'er, come to the mother's side."
Ye Yufu nodded, took off her thick hair, and just put her hand on the scarf to take it off, but suddenly realized that something was wrong. glanced at Song Wei, who seemed to be still closing her eyes and not paying attention, so she was relieved.
"Mother...... Are you okay. ”
Song Wei slowly opened her eyes, tears seemed to be rolling in her eyes, but she couldn't stay anyway. He sighed for a while, looked at the string of coral beads he was wearing, and his thoughts drifted away.
In the more than 20 years since she entered the palace, Ye Duanli has given her countless gold, silver and jewelry, but she has never looked at anything else. What is the use of giving more things if people don't do it right?
She has long known that she entered the palace in place of her dead sister, but fortunately, the person in her heart is not Ye Duanli. The two of them just take what they need.
But as time went on, it became more and more difficult for Song Wei to let go of everything in this palace, and the connection between her and that person seemed to be only Ye Yufu left, but she could never tell that person.
On the contrary, Ye Duan has been treating her for decades, and there has always been no shortage of women in this palace. And the women who are sent to the palace are also sent to the palace every year. The harem has always only heard the newcomers laughing, and not the old people crying.
However, Ye Duanli is a special case, although he is amorous, he is not abusive. For more than 20 years, even if she is already old, Ye Duanli still comes to sit almost every day.
The coral bracelet in this hand was obtained by chance last year, although it is not valuable, but it is very rare. At that time, he personally brought it to Song Wei's wrist.
Song Wei also felt unprecedented wavering and guilt in her heart from this moment. If, if he had figured it out earlier, would he have been able to completely replace his sister's position in Ye Duanli's mind by now.
But this thought quickly disappeared, because she knew that no one could replace Song Cai, just as Ye Duanli in her heart could not replace that person.
And this coral bracelet is the first thing she really wears as a gift from Ye Duanli.
"Fu'er, do you think your father will be lonely down there alone?"
Ye Yufu's expression was grim, thinking that Song Wei couldn't think of it and wanted to go to the funeral. But Song Wei then said: "How did I forget, Sister Song Cai must have been waiting for the emperor." ”
