After a busy day, it's easy to make up the braille and send it up, don't dislike it~~~~~ I'm so tired, run down to sleep ~~~~~

————————————————————————————————————————- this is the dividing line for catch-up sleep————————————————————————-

According to the laws of the Great Liang Kingdom, death row prisoners are only executed for a fixed period of time in the spring and autumn of each year, which is called "Spring Execution" and "Autumn Execution". When He Jingzhong knew that his son had no hope of getting rid of the crime and could only be sentenced to death, he turned to ask Qi Min to delay the time and postpone the sentence until after the spring execution, so that he could live a little longer and hope for another turnaround.

But He Jingzhong's idea, how could Wen Yuanbo not know. He now has heavyweight witnesses in his hands, and the public opinion in the capital is also very biased towards him, so his attitude is even tougher, and he is forced to start the trial day and night in the criminal department. The prince just folded the respect of a household Shangshulou a few days ago, and now that he has this opportunity to take revenge, how can he easily let it go? instructed his subordinates to impeach Qi Min for neglecting his duties and concealing the case without trial. In a few days like this, the criminal department couldn't hold on, and King Yu also felt that since they had decided to kill, there was no point in living for half a year, so he acquiesced to Qi Min, and was promoted to the court in a few days.

The day after the verdict of the case, He Jingzhong was sick in bed, and was diagnosed by the imperial doctor as having a faint mind and discordant qi and pulses, and wanted to recuperate.

At this time, it is the end of the year, and the officials should conduct the performance appraisal of all officials, and formulate the rewards and punishments for the next year; There is a real shortage of officials in various places taking advantage of the opportunity of the New Year to send New Year's gifts to the capital; It is also rare for the officials who are waiting to be vacant to openly roam around and dredge up relations in the name of New Year's greetings. No matter from which point of view, this is the busiest time for the officials, and He Jingzhong's illness suddenly made the situation a little chaotic.

Just as much of the prince's hidden income comes from the household department, most of the additional income of the king comes from the personnel appointment and dismissal power of the ministry, and the opportunity to collect money like a flowing water at the end of the year cannot be affected by the illness of the official department.

But he was in a hurry, but He Jingzhong was indeed hit by his son's matter, not pretending to be sick, it was useless to scold and scold, that person couldn't get up, he couldn't get up. Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, King Yu had to gather the bloody strategists to discuss how to deal with the aftermath of this matter.

Two days later, King Yu personally went to He Jingzhong's Shangshu Mansion, pushed everyone back, and comforted his subordinate cordially.

No one knows exactly how he comforted him. What everyone knows is that within a few days, He Jingzhong recovered from his illness and began to deal with official business again, and quickly straightened out the chaos of the previous period with ease, and was busy every day without touching his feet, dealing with the annual examination, meeting with foreign officials, and often busy until late at night, almost desperately working for his master, looking like turning grief into strength, which made the prince a little incomprehensible.

However, at this time, the crown prince was not in the mood to pay too much attention to He Jingzhong for the time being, and his energy shifted to another matter, and this matter was also the matter that the Ministry of Rites was currently troubled by.

At the end of the year, one of the most important things for the royal family is the sacrifice. Worship ancestors, sacrifice to the sky, sacrifice to the earth, sacrifice to people and gods. For the imperial court and the royal family, whether the regulations of the ritual are correct or not is a major event related to whether the coming year can be smooth, and it is not allowed to be careless.

Xie Yu was keenly aware that an opportunity that was very favorable to the crown prince had come.

According to the Liang ceremony, the concubine is not allowed to accompany the sacrifice in the inner palace, and must kneel and serve on the periphery. However, according to the Liang ceremony, after the prince set up a sacrifice and sprinkled wine, he had to touch the ground with his parents' clothes and skirts to show his filial piety.

Herein lies the contradiction. The Yue family has been deposed and demoted to a concubine, but she is the biological mother of the prince, on the one hand, her position is very low, and on the other hand, her status is extremely noble, which makes it very difficult for the Ministry of Rites to arrange the ceremony.

Xie Yu secretly suggested that the crown prince should take this opportunity to enter the palace to cry and repent to the emperor, and ask for the restoration of the concubine position, even if he cannot restore to the rank of the concubine at one time, at least he must fight for the title of the first palace, he can have an independent residence, or he can stay overnight with the emperor, and slowly save the old love of the Sacred Heart.

When the prince got this idea, he was overjoyed, made careful preparations, and entered the palace to lie in front of Emperor Liang's knees and wept for a full hour, desperately showing his benevolence and filial piety.

Emperor Liang was a little embarrassed. The Yue clan was originally his most beloved harem, and he didn't want to take this opportunity to pardon him. But the Yue clan has only been deposed for a few months, and if it is so easy to be exempted, I am afraid that the Nihuang County Lord will be cold.

"Father, the county lord's child will personally apologize and compensate," the prince was instructed, knowing what Emperor Liang was hesitating, he immediately hugged his leg and said, "The county lord understands the righteousness and must understand that this is all for the year-end ceremony." The child is willing to accept the punishment in front of the lord of the county for his mother, so as to atone for his mother's sins. ”

Emperor Liang was a little heartbroken by his crying, so he ordered someone to summon Chen Yuancheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. This Chen Laoshangshu is a veteran of the two dynasties, born without listening to a word, not relying on anyone, only recognizing the word "ceremony" in everything, the prince and the king of Yu tossed so lively, they couldn't shake him at all. The Ministry of Rites also had this old Shangshu in charge, so it was fortunate to become the only one of the six ministries that did not belong to any faction, maintaining transcendent neutrality.

Chen Laoshangshu didn't know the real reason for Concubine Yue's dethronement, and only looked at the edict, thinking that it was probably a trivial dispute in the palace. He had been worried about how to arrange the ceremony, and when he saw that the emperor came to consult whether he should restore the concubine of the Yue clan, of course he would not object.

Although the Ministry of Rites had no objections, and even strongly agreed, Emperor Liang was still somewhat hesitant. At this time, Xie Yu entered the palace to ask for a meeting on the grounds of military affairs in the northwest. Emperor Liang did not know the relationship between Xie Yu and the crown prince at this time, and thinking that he was also a member of the military line, he ordered someone to summon him in and ask him for his opinion on whether the Yue clan should be reinstated.

Xie Yu thought for a while, and replied: "The minister thinks that the prince is virtuous, the Yue family has made great contributions, and has been in the harem for many years, he has always been loyal to His Majesty, and he has never heard of any mistakes. Now that His Majesty's Sacred Heart has returned, and he intends to be gracious, it is only a matter of will, so what is the hesitation? ”

"Alas, you don't know," Emperor Liang said with a slight embarrassment, "the Yue clan was convicted, and there was another reason...... For the sake of the crown prince, she insulted Nihuang in the palace, and I was worried that an easy pardon would chill the hearts of the soldiers in the south......"

Xie Yu bowed his head and groaned, thought for a while, Fang slowly stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "If it's because of this, the minister thinks it...... It's all the more forgive......"

Emperor Liang was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Your Majesty, please think about it, the Yue family is the imperial concubine, the mother of the crown prince, she is the king, the lord of Nihuang County is the daughter of the vassal minister, the military attache of the imperial court, she is the minister. If you have a grudge because the superior is stunned for a while, this is not the way to be a minister. Even though the county lord has a high merit and should be given more grace, His Majesty has made a clear decree to reprimand the imperial concubine and punish the prince for her, which is really a great favor. If the county lord was a sincere minister, he should have asked for forgiveness for the Yue clan at that time. Of course...... The girl's family is inevitably a little sentimental and ill-conceived, which is needless to mention. But the year-end ceremony is the country's important ceremony, the concubine of the Fuyue clan is for the country's well-being, the people are happy, the two sides are more important has been obvious, Mu Wangfu sent an internal envoy, just explain two sentences, the favor is too thick, it will inevitably promote arrogance. When Xie Yu said this, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, "The minister is from the army, so he naturally knows that the most likely person in the army is to grow up and be proud of his merits, so His Majesty should deliberately suppress it." ”

Emperor Liang's eyebrows furrowed, but there was no clue on his face, he only snorted and said: "Nihuang is not such a person, you are too worried." ”

Xie Yu hurriedly apologized in fear and said, "Of course the minister is not the Nihuang County Lord. It's just a reminder to Your Majesty. I think that the Red Flame Army was so big back then, why wasn't it because it wasn't controlled earlier......"

The muscles on Emperor Liang's cheeks jumped, his fingers couldn't help but clench the armrests of the dragon chair, he was silent for a while, and said coldly: "Xuanjinmen is waiting for the edict." ”

When the edict comes in, it is natural to draft an edict. The prince couldn't control it for a while, and his face immediately showed ecstasy, and he was secretly glared at by Xie Yu, and hurriedly restrained himself.

"It's not an urgent matter for the minister to perform today," Xie Yu bowed and said, "Since Your Majesty has internal affairs to deal with, Rong Chen will retire first." ”

"Hmm." Emperor Liang waved his hand and allowed him to withdraw, and he reclined down a little tiredly, supporting himself with his hands. The prince hurriedly ordered someone to bring a soft pillow silk blanket and cover it for Emperor Liang with his own hands.

"You don't have to wait here for me. I will proclaim it today...... Go and put your mother at ease......" Emperor Liang sighed and said in a low voice.

"Son-in-law, thank your father, Emperor Longen." The crown prince touched the ground with his forehead, kowtowed three times, and said, "Please rest assured, the child will go to King Mu's mansion tonight......"

"No," Emperor Liang raised a hand and stopped him with a gloomy face, "Why can't you always remember, you are the crown prince and the prince of the East Palace!" You don't have to go to King Mu's Mansion, I will send someone there. ”

"Yes." The prince didn't dare to refute, hurriedly lowered his head, kowtowed again, got up and slowly withdrew.

The cold wind was strong outside, and the prince wrapped the fur canopy handed by the eunuch tightly and walked towards the outer hall on foot. In fact, as the lord of the East Palace, he originally had the privilege of taking a four-wheeled car in the palace, but in order to show respect, the chariot of the East Palace was generally parked outside the gate of the outer hall, and the attendants were waiting against the wind and snow.

"Go to the Inner Palace!" After a few simple commands, the prince picked up his clothes and jumped on his yellow-covered four-wheeled vehicle, and his movements were so urgent that he seemed to be a little afraid of the cold.

However, when the golden brocade curtain fell, blocking everything in the outside world, the prince of Donggong, who was originally calm, suddenly gritted his teeth, and a touch of hatred flashed on his face, as if the resentment in his heart could not be completely suppressed.

Prince? Am I the Prince? Father, if you really think that I am a prince, why do you pamper King Yu so much, and exalt him to the point where you can be my enemy?
