The emperor's face immediately hung up.

At the mention of the message, his thoughts galloped like a wild horse. He remembered the situation when he pardoned Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le. At that time, it was his emperor, King Yong'an, who sang and harmonized with Feng Nanyang, and persuaded him to let him give that message.

In fact, he felt that the dictation was not reasonable. Especially today, confirming Chu Tiankuo's identity as the crown prince, that oracle also confirmed his favoritism. The emperor was extremely conscious, and there was hidden unease.

Could it be that the queen wants to reason with him about this now?

Many people privately felt that the sermon was unreasonable. However, I don't dare to say it openly. After the queen woke up so little, there was a feeling of coincidence.

Even Chu Tiankuo himself felt a trace of guilt in his heart. The oracle came through the back door, and now, when the queen asked, his father was very embarrassed.

Yanxiang wanted to express her opinion again, and pushed back the queen's words quietly, but it was better to forget it. She was confident that she could not speak of the queen. The wicked have their own grinding. She didn't believe it, can the queen continue to be arrogant? The queen's words were clearly against the emperor. It's better for her to stand aside and watch the show.

She muttered in her heart, the emperor shouldn't be able to fight the queen, right? The rabbit is anxious and bites. The emperor can't let the queen ride on his head again and again without saying a word, right? No matter how good your temper is, no matter how broad-minded you are, you have the limit of tolerance.

Well, Yanxiang is holding this mentality, waiting to see the queen be punished. It's not good, it annoyed the emperor, and really abolished the queen's throne. It's that everyone has a temper, let alone an emperor. She believes that the emperor can't endure it for long, and the queen can't be arrogant for long.

The queen was watched by countless pairs of eyes, and she was not embarrassed, but very proud. She stared at the emperor with provocative eyes, her eyebrows fluttered, and she said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the concubine issued an edict and removed Duan Zisheng's position because Duan Zisheng secretly released prisoners out of the prison, which is justified and well-founded. ”

She had to say the same thing over and over again, it was really noisy. The emperor coldly interrupted the empress's words and said unhappily: "So, you can remove Duan Zisheng from the post of Dali Siqing?" ”

The queen didn't mean this, she said with a smile: "Dare to ask the emperor, why did you issue an edict to amnesty Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le?" ”

Sure enough, this is what the queen said. The emperor looked down on his face and couldn't answer. yes, what's his reason?

The queen's questioning made Xiang Ye and the courtiers wake up like a dream. How did they not think of this question? If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to conclude that the emperor's edict is unfounded.

I simply heard that Chu Tiankuo might be the crown prince, so he issued an order to pardon him. And in the prison, there are so many prisoners, no matter how big the officials, why didn't the emperor give them an amnesty? This is obviously unreasonable.

Soon, many pairs of eyes looked at the emperor in unison, such an emperor was unfamiliar to them. In their cognition, the emperor is a wise man through the ages, and he is by no means a person of favoritism.

Even Duan Zisheng had a stunned expression.

Smoke rejoiced. It's a shame that the queen is a step too late to question, otherwise, not to mention that Lord Duan can't be reinstated, even the senior brother will find it difficult to recognize the emperor's father and son.

Where did she know, the Queen's thoughts.

If she hadn't been forced to be in a hurry, why would the queen expose the emperor's shortcomings? The queen was let go, she dismissed Duan Zisheng's official position, and the emperor reinstated Duan Zisheng as an official with a word. She was slapped in the face, so she was annoyed in her heart, so she attacked the emperor for unreasonable things.

As soon as this matter breaks out, it will definitely make it difficult for the emperor to step down, and the emperor hates her even more. She wouldn't do it unless she had to.

When King Yong'an saw that his father could not answer, he felt that his mother was aggressive, and he was afraid that his father and mother would have a fight, so he had to come forward to mediate. He was depressed, but he forced a smile. The hardest person is him.

He smiled at the queen, and his smile was more ugly than crying: "Queen Mother, I can't complain about my father when I issue an edict to pardon my brother." This matter was persuaded by Erchen and Lord Feng, and the father had no choice but to adopt the opinion. If the queen mother wants to blame, blame the sons and daughters for making their own decisions. ”

The queen's heart sank, and her expression stiffened. The royal child she gave birth to in October with hard work, and the royal child who has been raised for more than 20 years, is not the same heart as her after all. Her royal son helped his father to scare her. A bitterness welled up in her heart.

For a while, he was full of grievances and wanted to scold the emperor, but he couldn't say it. She scolded the emperor, but her emperor suffered instead of the emperor.

When Yanxiang heard King Yong'an say this, he suddenly felt very refreshed. She was still thinking about the wicked just now, and the wicked have their own wicked grinding. The queen is a wicked person, and even her emperor can't get used to her.

However, Yanxiang did not think that King Yong'an was a villain, but she admired King Yong'an's ability to distinguish between right and wrong. She didn't hear anything wrong with King Yong'an's words. Sounds like that.

She distinguishes King Yong'an from the Empress. Although King Yong'an was born to the queen, he did not inherit the queen's cruelty. He still takes into account the love of father and son, and thinks of the righteousness of brothers.

However, like Duan Zisheng and Chu Tiankuo, who are involved in court politics, they will inevitably be worried after listening to King Yong'an's words. King Yong'an's words were full of loopholes, and it sounded like he was helping his father to justify him, but he actually created a new tongue.

According to King Yong'an's statement, doesn't it become that the emperor has no opinion and is at the mercy of others?

The queen didn't squeak, but Xiangye jumped out: "The emperor is the king of a country, every word and deed is an example for all the people, and he should be thoughtful in his behavior." As he spoke, he looked meaningfully at King Yong'an: "How can you be instigated by others?" ”

This is an extremely ugly statement, but it is also reasonable. As soon as almost everyone heard it, they knew that Xiangye meant something, and the meaning beyond the words was that the emperor was soft-eared, and he listened to the instigation of Feng Nanyang and King Yong'an, and made an edict indiscriminately.

When the courtiers saw the wind and steered, they patted the Xiangye's ass: "The Xiangye is reasonable!" ”

The smoke was almost unbearable, and he wanted to rush out to reason with Xiangye. This traitor is really good at guiding public opinion, and he is too arrogant. If it weren't for the senior brother who kept stopping her and didn't let her talk nonsense, she would have to take the risk of annoying the emperor again and argue with Xiangye.

She was so speechless, and the senior brother had a good temper and was calm. What about the Emperor? Why don't you go crazy?

If she was allowed to be the emperor, where would she make Empress Xiangye so arrogant, she would have to punish them one by one.

I didn't know what the emperor was doing, he stood there silent. I wonder if he heard these accusations? He stood there as if nothing was right, expressionless, and did not hear the words. Or did he hear it and wonder how to refute it?

Smoke is helpless, where is the majesty and domineering of the emperor? He took out the posture that he had just scolded her, who wouldn't be heartbroken? As long as he gives an order, this matter will be turned over, and no further discussion will be allowed! Who would dare to speak up again? Unless you're tired of living.

I really don't understand, why do you want to let these people with ulterior motives talk so much?

King Yong'an listened to Xiangye's words, and his face suddenly turned red. Xiangye is his maternal uncle and Xia Wenxuan's father, because of such an identity, it is difficult for him to argue with Xiangye.

However, when he raised his eyes, he saw that Xia Wenxuan wanted to speak and stopped, remembering what Xia Wenxuan had asked him before, he still stubbornly took it. Not only for the Pomeranian, but also for his father and brother, he had to stand up.

He pushed back angrily: "What do you mean by this?" Does it mean that this king is instigating? This king has never met the royal brother before, why should he favor him? This king is just a matter of facts. There must be a secret about the crime committed by the royal brother and the loyal and brave king, and the king believes that the imperial brother is a good person. ”

Listening to the words of King Yong'an, they were extremely moved by the incense. Before they met, King Yong'an chose to stand on his side and was willing to intercede for his imperial brother. This sincere affection is precious.

The queen felt that she had been slapped in the face again, and she was slapped in the face by her own emperor. She was planning to get rid of Chu Tiankuo, but his emperor tried his best to save Chu Tiankuo. Her mother has raised him for more than 20 years, but she is not as good as a royal brother who has never met? Her emperor believes that his royal brother is not a bad person, is he a bad person in the emperor's heart?

The Queen's brain was a mess.

Chu Tiankuo's gaze looked fixedly at King Yong'an. The emperor's brother, who only met today, is so affectionate and righteous to him. He is proud to have such a brother, and his heart is warm.

In the first year of Xingde, Hong Gaode proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Western Kingdom, and set the capital of Fengcheng. In the early days of the establishment of the regime, the surrounding countries were eyeing the Great Western Kingdom and provoked wars for no reason. Before the expedition, Xu Guifei, the mother of Xigong, was 8 months pregnant. The emperor proposed an edict, if the prince was born, he would be named Hong Chengye, and the prince would be established, and if he was born a princess, he would be crowned Princess Changyu.

After Emperor Hong left the palace, Queen Xia made a plan to let Xu Guifei slip the fetus, who knows, the sky did not fulfill her wish, and the fetus in Xu Guifei's womb was born, and it actually survived.

"Your Majesty has already doted on Concubine Xu, and now, she has given birth to a prince again, and I see that our master and queen throne will not be able to be kept."

"Isn't it? Listening to the palace maid in the West Palace, the prince was born white and fat, very cute, his face resembled His Majesty, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, and he must be a good emperor when he grows up. ”

This is the little palace maid in the queen's palace whispering in private.

Even if they don't talk about it, the Empress Xia knows that if she doesn't try to get rid of the prince, I'm afraid that life won't be better in the future.

She immediately summoned her elder brother Xiangye and Chu Xiang, the head of the imperial guard, to discuss countermeasures. They plotted to burn down the West Palace, which was carried out by General Chu.

At the critical moment, General Chu gave up the idea of harming the prince and exchanged his own son for the prince's exit from the palace.

Xu Guifei cried and cried, turned her heart sideways, picked up the hairpin, and used the tip of the hairpin to tattoo the word "heaven" on the prince's left shoulder. The stab is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart, and after the stabbing is finished, Xu Guifei's painful liver and intestines are broken. She trembled and hung a jade pendant on the crown prince, which was given by the emperor himself, and there is only one in the world today.

Concubine Xu Guifei kowtowed to Chu Xiang, and said with tears in her eyes, "General Chu, please accept my three bows, your great kindness and great virtue, this palace will repay it in the next life." ”

"Niangniang, you can't help it, please get up ...... quickly" As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside, General Chu picked up the prince and hurriedly fled through the side door.

Xu Guifei fainted.

The person who came was the imperial doctor Feng Nanyang. Legend has it that this person was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and his nickname was the fortune teller. He can pinch and calculate, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has extraordinary martial arts. He took away General Chu's son, performed light skills, shuttled freely in the palace, easily got rid of the pursuit of the palace guards, and left the city safely.

After Xia, he ordered people to burn down the West Palace, and Xu Guifei and a cadre were buried in the fire. During the inventory of the body, it was found that the body of a baby was missing. Plus General Chu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown. Empress Xia and Xiangye concluded that the prince was most likely taken away by Chu Xiang. So, Empress Xia secretly sent people to hunt down and kill General Chu Xiang.

In the fourth year of Xingde, the emperor returned triumphantly.

Xia Hou was shrewd and capable, and kept this matter a secret. Emperor Hong didn't believe that Xu Guifei really died in an accident. He often dreamed of the crown prince, and he has been sending people to investigate the matter secretly, but he has not been able to find out the truth, Chu Xiang disappeared, and Feng Nanyang also disappeared.

In the fifth year of Xingde, the queen gave birth to a son, and Emperor Hong named him Hong Cheng'an. The queen thought to herself, the emperor obviously did not have high hopes for this son. Empress Xia thought to herself, even if the emperor delayed issuing an edict and appointing a new crown prince, Emperor Rihong would die, and the throne would be her son's sooner or later. However, she still had some concerns, twenty-four years ago, she sent someone to hunt down and kill Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang was seriously injured and died, but the prince did not know who rescued him.

For more than 20 years, there has been no news of the prince. If the crown prince is still alive, then he will be the biggest threat to Hong Chengan's succession to the throne. Besides, once this matter is revealed, she and Xiangye will definitely be in trouble.

Emperor Hong Gaode reigned for 24 years, he worked hard, knew people well, the country was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Hong grew old and missed his lost prince more and more, and finally fell ill.

Knowing that Emperor Hong was ill, Feng Nanyang sneaked into the palace to see the emperor.

"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to look for you and General Chu for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came one step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chu. In a panic, Zhongchen rescued General Chu's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.

"What a queen. Over the years, I have seen her keep to herself and teach the emperor carefully, but I never thought that she would be so vicious. I'm going to send her to the cold! Emperor Hong gritted his teeth angrily and slapped the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it. There is no evidence, if the emperor does this, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court and panic among the people. Feng Nanyang persuaded.

"I can not pursue the queen's guilt first, but the prince can't be left behind, and I must find him back." The emperor was resolute, calmed down for a while and sat on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, look for the prince openly, and the prince will inevitably be framed. It's better to visit secretly. Feng Nanyang suggested.

Emperor Hong painted a portrait of a twenty-four-year-old man according to his own appearance, handed it over to Feng Nanyang, appointed Feng Nanyang as the minister of the Qin Mission, and gave Shang Fang a sword.

"Emperor, where are you?" Emperor Hong sighed.

In the twenty-fifth year of Xingde, the country of the Great West was peaceful and peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
