Chapter 202: The Prince's Choice

Since Tang Yuan's accident, the emperor and queen have exempted the prince from many political affairs on the grounds of sympathy for the prince, which have been transferred to the king of Jin, who has always assisted him. The younger brother prince has not been too guarded, after all, he has been a prince since he was a child, and the king of Jin has always stood behind him in the form of assistance.

For example, in the past few years, the emperor has had a lot of dissatisfaction with the East Palace because of the prince's partiality with the king of Yanchang County, thanks to the king of Jin from time to time in and out of the palace, Cheng Huanchun is under the queen's knees, and he talks about peace from ...... How many years? The prince's face has changed!

Once the heart of precaution is raised, it is very suspicious to think about King Jin's actions again!

Under the pretext of helping the prince and the king of Yanchang to mediate in front of the emperor, he frequently entered and exited the palace when the prince was unsuspecting, and became more and more friendly with Empress Chunyu, who could greatly influence Emperor Xianping...... The problem is that the king of Jin keeps saying that he has always been trying to make the queen happy for the sake of the prince, but the emperor's impression of the prince and the king of Yanchang is getting worse!

For this point, the king of Jin has always hinted that it is because the crown princess and the king of Zhending often speak ill of the prince and the king of Yanchang in front of the emperor - but now the prince has just woken up from a dream and suddenly woke up - the emperor often praises the princess for her virtue and generosity, and with the emperor's preference, if the princess really goes to sue from time to time, then ...... Will the emperor trust and like the crown princess so much?!

Whether it was raised by the emperor himself, the prince knows very well that the emperor will never like a daughter-in-law who complains about the 'woman' face, not to mention that the princess is still her husband and concubine! He is the eldest son and grandson of the emperor!

Case...... It's hard for the prince to suspect King Jin or not!

Thinking about it this way, the princess's warning is not without reason! Her words are not alarmist! The crown prince knew that what he had done in the past few months had disappointed the emperor and queen. But the identity of the East Palace for many years and the origin of the eldest son made him ignore that the emperor could hold him to the position of the prince, and in the same way, he could also take these!

And isn't it because of the emperor's tolerance of him that he has survived until now?

Now Queen Chunyu is going to kill Midorihime...... What a clear sign that the queen's patience has reached its limit?!

The prince's hand trembled slightly, he didn't care that the princess was still in front of him, so he hurriedly turned his head away, and said to the left and right: "Go!" Call Fang Cai's subordinate back...... Go on...... Procedure! ”

β€”β€”The position of the prince has been shaky, and if you go to save Green Ji in this kind of thing, not only will you not be able to save her, but you will lose your position as the prince!

At that time, Lu Ji is dead, and Tang Cheng will definitely not be able to save it......

Baonu has gone...... The prince turned around and walked back and forth uneasily, he clenched his fists hard: For our only son now, Lu'er, is not lonely, even if you are here, you must choose to keep me and Zhennu, in this case, Lone must not live up to your sacrifice, and will not give King Jin such a chance!

β€”β€”After Gu ascends the throne, he will punish the king of Jin and avenge you!

But now he must do his best to win back the emperor's heart!

The prince returned to the house tremblingly, and was about to sit down on the couch, when the princess who followed with her feet pursed an undisguised sneer at the corner of her mouth, and said, "You are so confused! Now for the discussion?! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So what do you say to do?! The prince wanted to scold her, but in the end he said that he was asking!

With just this sentence, the crown princess understands - his heart is already 'messed up'!

The crown princess did not hide the malicious smile in her eyes, and said lightly: "Lu Ji has served you for decades, and the government and the opposition know that she is deeply liked by you...... Now that you are angry that the queen mother is dead, do you think you can be satisfied with the queen mother as if nothing happened? ”

The prince took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "You mean Lone should go...... Plead? ”

Only then did he have a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he was ruthlessly crushed by the crown princess: "It's really stupid!" You are going to intercede, because you are afraid that the queen mother will abandon your holy decree and not be ready?! ”

"......" Although his heart is now full of worries about the position of the prince, the attitude and wording of the crown princess still make the prince angry! He said without thinking, "Do you still want your son to ascend the throne?!" ”

"Will you put him on the throne?" The crown princess raised her sleeves and said with a sneer, "If not, I think it's safer for him to be a son, isn't it?" ”

The prince said coldly: "If you are willing to let him be a prince, why did you rush to remind Gu?" "He has been a prince for a long time, and he quickly grasped what the crown princess wanted, intending to gain the upper hand!

"Huh!" The crown princess raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, lowered her eyes, and said lightly, "Okay, I won't say much to you, the queen mother is still waiting...... You swear that after ascending the throne, you will immediately make Fengnu the crown prince and never abandon it! I'll accompany you on a trip to Penglai Palace! ”

How could the prince have been threatened like this? Even Lu Ji was just crying in front of him back then, worried that because of his favoritism, the crown princess would be the queen in the future, and he would really be the prince, and their mother and son would have no place to be buried, so let the prince himself say that he would try his best to protect their mother and son!

But touching the unshakable eyes of the crown princess, the prince was silent for a few breaths, and finally nodded......

At the end of March, two days before the prince's birthday, Empress Chunyu was killed because Lu Ji exceeded the power of the crown princess and disregarded the prince's body. The crown prince took the princess to the Penglai Palace, and before kneeling on the phoenix throne, he confessed to the queen that he had been indulging in the beauty of the green lady for many years, disobeying his parents, disrespecting the concubine, and alienating his son-in-law.

The prince's confession is very moving, in the end, it is his own beloved son, since he has woken up, Queen Chunyu was also softened by his crying, and the virtuous princess helped to speak from time to time, and repeatedly said that no matter how the prince snubbed his mother and son before, it was her husband, the father of the king of Zhending.

The king of Zhending, who heard the news and entered the palace, also knelt behind his parents, and kept kowtowing to plead for the prince......

The family of three in the East Palace hugged the queen and cried, releasing their suspicions. Although Emperor Xianping did not immediately forgive the crown prince like the empress, he also stopped the plan to change the prince immediately.

All in all, this time the prince was abolished, and the prince passed the test in the end.

After passing the customs, of course, he didn't dare to bury Midorihime, and even in order to show his remorse, he didn't even dare to ask where Midorihime was buried...... Even when Tang Cheng broke into the East Palace to question the prince, the prince could only drive him out ruthlessly......

The once pampered Green Ji disappeared into the palace without a trace. Even Tang Cheng, the only remaining young son of her and the crown prince, has also plummeted, and he is no longer in front of the people in brocade clothes and embroidered clothes.

'Privately' saw Tang Cheng in the twilight and his deteriorating health, the prince was not distressed, but in order to prove that his confession in front of the queen was from the heart, when the father and son met, he could only choose to reprimand Tang Cheng for his bad - in order not to hurt Tang Cheng again, he could only try to see this son as rarely as possible.

Over time, in the eyes of outsiders, Tang Cheng's fall from grace became a foregone conclusion, and his subordinates were very lazy when they served.

Ai Ji died, the young son was embarrassed, and the grandeur of the grandson was actually angry at the hands of his subordinates from time to time, and the prince sometimes couldn't help but feel sad and desolate when he thought about it.

β€” but it's all worth it.

Because at the end of May, the holy driver drove Cuiwei Mountain as usual to escape the heat, and on the night of arriving at Cuiwei Mountain, Emperor Xianping fainted without warning when visiting the mountain scenery! Thanks to the fact that the housekeeper Ning Shaobi helped quickly, he avoided the result of his head hitting the rock.

Although the queen summoned Xu Zhen in time, Emperor Xianping still didn't wake up until midnight, and he couldn't get up for a while after waking up.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Xianping was relieved by the prince's repentance, and the replacement of the prince would inevitably make the people's hearts 'swing' for a while. Here's how he is now...... Obviously, the days are numbered, and stability is the main thing.

And the prince of Jin is not as good as the king of Zhending......

Emperor Xianping's imperial body was not good, and the government and the opposition were naturally shaken. The eldest princess of Jiyang was anxious when she heard the news, and she went to the palace to visit the imperial brother in person despite her old age. The two talked a little about the past - which made Empress Chunyu feel very ominous, and deliberately diverted the conversation.

Fortunately, although Emperor Xianping began to lie on the bed since then, his condition was under control. By the beginning of August, it was already possible to walk a few steps with the help of someone.

After being carried back to Chang'an by the emperor, Empress Chunyu really had no intention of celebrating her thousand autumns this year, so she ordered the silver money originally planned to hold a thousand autumn banquets to be given to the Keats offices in Chang'an and Gyeonggi. He also ordered an amnesty to the world, praying for Emperor Xianping.

After doing this, Emperor Xianping's condition stabilized a little, but it was still very difficult for the last dynasty - the prince repented again, so he asked the prince to supervise the country, and the king of Zhending County assisted him.

The crown prince is also quite kind to the king of Zhending County now, and often goes to the princess's residence for the night after Midorihime goes, and as for the princess only letting him sleep in the study every time, it is not known to outsiders.

In the emperor's view, all this is developing in a good direction, that is, he died, and he went peacefully.

In October, Zhuo Zhaojie was diagnosed with pregnancy again, and this time she was really pregnant. The time when she deceived the eldest princess Jiyang before, of course, she was looking for an excuse to "have a miscarriage", this time because there was no pressure to give birth to an heir, in November, Xu Zhen bluntly told her that she was a little Langjun.

The good news of adding Xinding made the eldest princess Jiyang worry that Emperor Xianping's 'gloom' haze had gone a lot, but because Zhuo Zhaojie had a "miscarriage" experience, the eldest princess became more and more nervous about her safe birth, but she paid a lot less attention to the palace.

In December, Shi Hui Zhishi finally succeeded, Emperor Xianping was very generous to the old ministers, and sealed the old Shi Hui as Wen Jingbo, because Shi Hui Zhishi did not want to live in Chang'an for a long time, but planned to return to his hometown Jiangnan, the eldest princess of Huarong decided to accompany after thinking about it, and Emperor Xianping gave a ritual.

Shi Huan is leaving, and the heirs who have no fame and do not serve in Chang'an must of course also accompany him. For example, Shi Caifeng and Mukong Cicada.

Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie are still very sorry for the departure of the five husbands and women, the two families have been getting along very well in the past two years, and the relationship between Hongnu and the twins is also good, I heard that Hongnu is going to go to the distant Jiangnan with his parents, great-grandfather, and great-grandmother, and the twins are crying.

For the relatives and relatives related to the Shi family, the theme of this year's New Year is of course farewell - this time to the south of the Yangtze River, the children and grandchildren of the Shi family still have the possibility of returning to Chang'an, but Shi Huan is gone, and the people of Chang'an are basically goodbye.

However, farewell is not the most important thing in the eyes of some families, for the DPRK, it is the last time to pay tribute, so who should sit in the vacated position of first assistant?

Wen Zheng and Gao Xianling have their own strengths, and among the courtiers below, there are also a few eager to try.

It stands to reason that Shi Hui will recommend his successor, but when the prince asked, Shi Huan used the excuse of old age and did not dare to speak falsely, and refused to say anything.

Although Emperor Xianping no longer went to court and completely 'handed over' political affairs to the prince, after the awakening of the death of Green Hime, the prince is now doing things more and more measured. Since Shi Huan refused to say it, he had a great relationship with the position of prime minister, and he didn't dare to present it to Emperor Xianping for his own reasons, and Emperor Xianping was now very slow to react, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "Since you are the one who is in charge of the country now, then it is up to you to decide." ”

The prince asked tentatively: "The son is stupid, and he still begs his father to hurt the son and help the son to palm his eyes?" ”

Emperor Xianping had already closed his eyes and said vaguely: "You are in charge." ”

The sage said it twice, and the palace people who were waiting next to him made their eyes 'color' - the prince's heart was relieved, and he knew that Emperor Xianping really let himself be in charge.

And look at the appearance of Emperor Xianping...... The time is not far off when he will be able to take full ownership of the house.

It's just that the prince didn't know that when he left the Zichen Hall with a solemn face and an extraordinarily brisk foot, the princess was holding her cheeks, casually playing chess with her henchman 'girl', and said idly: "This game is almost over, if you don't fall again, I'm afraid it's ...... There is no one to watch. ”

The eyes of the 'woman' suddenly lit up! I didn't care about finishing, got up and saluted, and said with infinite joy: "Don't worry, Niangniang, the maid will go and tell Ning Jiu!" ”
