Chapter Seventy-One: The Crown Prince Ascends the Throne
"What's going on today? What happened? I asked softly to the Spirit King, who had just returned home, and he seemed to be extremely tired, and his whole body was out of energy.
"Yesterday night I received news that His Majesty died of illness, General Liang led the Liang army into the palace early in the morning, the northwest army caused a mutiny in the imperial city, and fought for a long time, Long Yuqing was wanted by the prince as a chaotic minister and thief, and the Liang father and daughter were imprisoned in the prison." He cleaned his hands and spoke slowly and lengthily.
He probably cleaned his hands because he knew that so many lives were dying today, and that his hands were stained with too much blood.
The more I listened, the more alarmed I became, and I hung my head, sullen.
It's no wonder that there was so much panic outside today, and I wanted to go out and let the soldiers stop me from going out.
"Recently, I'm going to clear out the remnants of Long Yuqing." He squeaked the door shut, as if to cut off all contact with the outside world.
He walked up to me and hugged me gently, his head hanging on my shoulder without saying a word.
"Let the prince do those things himself."
He nodded, sullen, and even my mood became depressed, he knew that the crown prince would ascend the throne after burying the emperor in the Huangling, but I was afraid that the unwillingness in his heart would become stronger and stronger, and it would be irreparable at that time.
I know that his methods are more ruthless than Long Yuzun, there are more schemes than Long Yuzun, and the power and financial resources behind him should not be underestimated.
"Let the prince worry about himself, isn't it good for us to live our lives behind closed doors?" I lifted his head from my neck, looked him in the eyes, and spoke slowly but firmly.
"Okay."
--
The emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum.
The crown prince became the only long-awaited candidate for emperor.
The light rain and the gloomy sky seemed to be my mood at the moment.
Wearing court clothes, he went to the Taimiao Temple with Yuling to pay homage to the emperor's gifts.
The queen is a little old, with heavy makeup and meticulous buns, but I can see her heart that can't support going with the emperor under the bright yellow clothes.
Thinking of this, I grabbed the arm of the man next to me and leaned towards him slightly, as if I could feel more at ease, I don't know when this man gave me so much peace of mind and care.
He looked at me, put a hand on my shoulder, and pulled me into his arms.
The crown prince was scheduled to ascend the throne on the first day of August, and the tragedy of the death of the former emperor was quickly swept away by the enthronement of the new emperor.
But what I didn't expect was that the first thing the crown prince did when he ascended the throne was not to correct the Liang family and the families of King You on the spot, but to order the raid of the Nian family in front of the civil and military officials in the early dynasty, and put all the old and young of the Nian family in prison.
In the majestic Jinluan Palace, the former prince looked at the civil and military officials below, and swept his fierce gaze to Zhang Yuan, who was standing below, and coldly hooked the corners of his lips, how this person framed the woman he was thinking about He didn't know, but he had to guard the palace during that time, otherwise he would not be unfilial, and the queen mother might not be able to survive in peace.
"Nian Xiang conspired with Liang's father and daughter to usurp the throne, and someone came, took off the top of last year's top and put him in prison. ordered the Imperial Forest Army to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to raid the house and escort a group of family members to prison. ”
The words of this young emperor made his heart tremble, and he knelt on the ground with weak knees and shouted that he was wronged.
Nian Xiang did work with General Liang to plot the usurpation of the throne and push King You as the emperor, and almost everyone knew about it.
Long Yuzun fixed his eyes and saw that there were three or two civil officials who came out to intercede for the old man without pain.
Shangshu Liu Taifu stood upright and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is true that the Liang father and daughter rebelled, but the year minister may have been deceived by the traitor, and it is not too late for His Majesty to investigate the crime of the year and then determine the year." ”
Hearing this, Long Yuzun narrowed his eyes, thinking of that woman, after all, she was a blood relative, although the Nian family had repeatedly framed her, but she didn't necessarily really want the Nian family to be imprisoned like this.
Thinking that he would have to get her in the future, he couldn't be so affectionate to the Nian family, so he turned his eyes to look at the Spirit King, who was speechless at the moment, coughed and said softly: "What Liu Shangshu said is reasonable, the investigation will be handed over to the Spirit King to investigate, I believe that the Spirit King will handle it impartially." ”
The emperor's eagle-like gaze looked at the Spirit King, waiting for his reply.
King Ling knew that this man who had already sat on the throne of the Ninety-Five Emperor had handed over this matter to him because of Qianmo, and before he became His Majesty's crown prince, he already had letters and evidence of the correspondence between Prince You and Nian Xiang, and it was just a matter of the emperor's words to punish the Nian family, but why did he do so much?
Thinking of this, the Spirit King suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, and felt that this was a hot potato, once it was not handled well, Qian Mo would be the first to say it.
After all, Long Yuling's favorite person is the daughter of Nianfu, no matter what, she always has the surname Nian.
"Yes, my brother will take the order." He couldn't see a joyful response.
Hearing this, the young man looked at the Spirit King in pain, and the Spirit King's warning sounded in his mind again: "If you have something to ask for help in the future, don't forget what you have done today." ”
This is when he was in tandem with the traitor Long Yuqing to stun Nian Qianmo, and the Spirit King warned himself, maybe the Spirit King had already known that the army in the northwest was not really loyal to General Liang, and watching their rebellion was just watching the performance of the clown who jumped Liang.
"Before the suspicion is cleared, you must not go out of the capital for half a step, otherwise you will be punished for the crime of treason, and after the autumn, the Liang father and daughter and the family members of Youwangfu will all be beheaded in the downtown area." The emperor also knows the truth of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and the thin lips are lightly opened, which determines the lives of more than 100 people in the Youwang Mansion.
No one objected to this king's decision at this moment, and no one dared to intercede for those guilty ministers at this moment, but the prince had not been caught yet, and I don't know if the emperor would let that person go out of his mind of brotherhood.
The emperor sent all the secret guards to find the escaped Youwang, and at the same time, the Wanhua Tower, which was burned down by the Spirit King, was rebuilt.
The emperor should be extremely busy, and there is no reason why he still has time to take care of a brothel that was burned down by a private family.
I finally don't have to take that medicinal bath anymore, the weather is fine, I look at the spirit king next to me who has a sad face for some reason, since the death of the first emperor, he has always had a lot of troubles.
"The weather is good today, let's go out and swim in the lake." I shook his arm coquettishly, cutting off his thoughts.
He looked at the somewhat delicate woman in front of him, and he put his thoughts down for a moment. The former prince never paid attention to her, how could he have such thoughts. He shook his head, feeling that it should be impossible, but it was a little tricky for the prince to leave the investigation of the Nian Xiang family to himself, and the evidence in his hand turned into a hot potato because of the woman in front of him.
I still remember the incident in the third chapter of the covenant, the first thing was to keep the Nian family, and this woman's foresight was far beyond my expectations.
"Okay, the housekeeper will go and prepare, this king is going to go to the lake with the princess."
His warm palm took my white and slightly cold hand, and commanded the butler behind him coolly.
Sweeping away the haze of the past few days, I looked at the sparkling lake, and lay with him on the soft grass, so quiet that the years were so quiet, how good it would be to continue like this.
I didn't even deliberately inquire about the news of the Nian family, I don't know how the emperor dealt with the Nian family, maybe they were locked up in prison like the Liang father and daughter?
I was waiting for the second lady to come to the man next to me with the mother-son bracelet, and I knew that the man next to me had the ability to make the Nian family have nothing to do with the rebellion.
"Yuling, shall we have a baby?" Bathed in the sun, I gently tugged at the man's clothes next to me and said slowly.
"Okay." Hearing me say this, the Spirit King's eyes rose with great joy, and he looked at me with a smile and responded softly.
Regardless of the fact that there were still three or two people walking around, he pressed towards me who was lying on the ground, and seeing that he was about to press my lips, my face was red, I looked around angrily, and pushed him heavily, he didn't pay attention, and I pushed him.
"The prince is so ashamed."
"Qianmo is really good at wronging people, who is talking about having a child in the middle of the day, I just listen to your words, such an obedient husband still has to be slandered by you, it's really difficult for villains and women to raise." He smiled playfully, and didn't annoy me by pushing him around.
"It's not early, let's go to Baizhai for dinner." I looked at the increasingly scorching sun, watched the fine and dense sweat on his white and delicate skin, and gently wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief.
"I'll know if a worm is hungry." He got up from me, looked at the men and women all around, swept over the green grass and the clear stream, relaxed his mood, pulled me up, and led me into the carriage.
The third floor of the Lent Building.
"Qianmo, I have something to tell you." He gently played with my fingers and said nonchalantly.
I was shocked, my brows trembled, in the past few months of getting along, this man generally has something to say, and he will never tell himself in advance that he has something to say like today.
"What's wrong?" I withdrew my hand and squeezed my wrist, not noticing the tremor in my tone, and asked softly.
"Brother Huang ordered me to check whether the Nian Xiang is related to the Liang family's father and daughter plotting to usurp the throne, and I have a lot of evidence in my hands to prove that the Nian Xiang and Long Yuqing have plotted to usurp the throne and force the palace to kill the monarch."
"Do what you have to do." His words were quickly interrupted by me, I hammered my eyes, a huge pain in my heart hit, and my eyes instantly turned red, so that he was reluctant to hold me into his arms.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's eat first."
"Hmm. I have given away the bracelet you gave me to someone, and if that person comes to you, I hope you will do your best to grant that person's request. "I rolled my eyes, and finally I was eccentric, even though he was hateful, but he was my father after all.
"Okay." He answered my request in a low voice.
