535 Request for abdication
As soon as the children rushed into the palace, they gathered around to see the little fairy, and they were woken up by the chatter of a few children.
"Wow...... Wow......" The little fairy opened her eyes and saw a group of people she didn't know, and she began to cry.
"Alright, okay, don't surround her. Rong Zhao picked up his little daughter, touched her buttocks, and it was clean. As soon as the child arrived in Rong Zhao's arms, he stopped crying, and tilted his head to look at the children who were watching around her.
"My sister is so good-looking. Xiao Rongsheng carefully touched the little fairy's face, which was better than his uncle's little cousin, he stuck to Rong Zhao's side, and whispered in his ear: "Mother, my sister is better looking than Lianrong." ”
Rong Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, "Which of the concubine's children is not good-looking?"
Xiao Rongnian also came over, "Mother, can I hug my sister?"
"Mother, I want to hug my sister. Qi Guang also stretched out his hand.
"Mother, I want to hug it too. Xiao Rongsheng was not to be outdone.
“......”
I haven't had so many children around for a long time, and I'm really a little uncomfortable with the constant chatter, but it's really lively.
The little fairy adapts quickly, or it may be that children like to play with children, Rong Zhao saw that she was no stranger, so he put her on the bed, and several children coaxed her.
The little fairy likes to laugh very much, and others are happy when they tease her, and every brother and sister also does their best to make her happy, and the joy is so happy that it flows out.
Rong Zhao looked at the children laughing, her heart was sweet, she looked at Xiao Junjue, Xiao Junjue was also looking at her, the two looked at each other and smiled, hugging each other.
Everything is so beautiful, but at night there is one thing that is quite distressing, the three children are pestering and sleeping with Rong Zhao.
"I'm going to sleep next to my mother. ”
"I want my mother to sleep with me in her arms. ”
Qi Guang was even more treacherous, people didn't say anything, he lay down on Rong Zhao's body, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
The older ones also know that they let their younger brother and don't fight with him, and pull Rong Zhao's other arm to do the same.
This Rong Zhao can't hold it, Xiao Junjue washed up to see where they were still grabbing, and hugged Xiao Rongsheng to his side, "Come, son, sleep with my father." ”
Could it be that his father is superfluous in the eyes of the children? Why didn't anyone rob him? Obviously, during the day, they still talked about how much they missed him.
The bed in Fengzao Palace is big enough, and it is enough to sleep two adults and three children. Qi Guang slept in the innermost, Xiao Rongnian slept between Rong Zhao and Xiao Junjue, Xiao Junjue originally wanted to put Xiao Rongsheng inside, but Xiao Rongnian was domineering, saying that he wanted to sleep next to his mother and father, poor Xiao Rongsheng, in the end, he had to be on the outside.
However, Xiao Junjue slept with him in her arms and couldn't get on the ground.
Before going to bed, Xiao Junjue and Rong Zhao said that they couldn't have any more children in the future, otherwise the bed would not fit.
But sleeping like this, Rong Zhao is the most inconvenient, climbing up and down all night to feed.
Yesterday when the family regent entered the palace, the little emperor saw him, and he was catching crickets in the grass, and they did not see him.
He saw a child about his age being held by the regent's uncle, and the regent did not smile every time he saw him, cold, and he was most afraid of him. But when he held the child, he talked to him with a smile on his face.
Later, I asked and found out that it was the family of the regent.
It turned out that the family was like that, he looked so envious, and especially envied the boy who was held by the regent's uncle, in his memory, his father never smiled at himself, let alone hugged himself.
On the second day, he secretly ran to the outside of Fengzao Palace, leaned on the wall and looked in, and sure enough, he saw the child held by the regent and the emperor's uncle in the courtyard, but he did not catch crickets and fight crickets like him, but practiced swords.
So majestic, so cool, the little emperor was stunned.
After Rong Zhao coaxed the little fairy to sleep, he came to the side when he came out of Qiushui and whispered in a low voice.
"Really?" Rong Zhao looked out of the gate, and sure enough, he saw a small head staring.
She thought about it, beckoned to Xiao Rongsheng, wiped the sweat off his face, and then asked him to invite the emperor who was standing outside in.
The little emperor was timid, walked to Rong Zhao's side with his head down, and whispered, "Aunt Regent." ”
"In the future, just call me the imperial aunt or aunt, don't be so cumbersome. Rong Zhao always felt that Xiao Rongsheng was only a little stronger than the little emperor, but when he stood in front of him, it was even more obvious that the little emperor was too thin. If you don't have a mother to raise you, how can others be so careful.
Rong Zhao grabbed Xiao Rongsheng, "Your Majesty, this is the son of the imperial aunt and your cousin." He also pointed to Xiao Rongnian and Qi Guang who were playing together not far away, "That is also the son of the imperial aunt, and that is the daughter of the imperial aunt, in the future, you are not interested, you can come to play with them." ”
The little emperor nodded crampedly, and secretly looked at Xiao Rongnian and Qi Guang.
Xiao Rongnian heard her mother say about her, put down the toy and ran over, she leaned on Rong Zhao and looked at the little emperor for a moment, and suddenly said, "Mother, is he the little emperor?"
"Don't be rude to the emperor. The eunuch who served the little emperor had a strange voice and reprimanded.
There are two personal eunuchs waiting for the little emperor to come and go, and the one who spoke was a young one, and the older one saw the princess regent glance at the young eunuch coldly, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, the county lord just came to the palace, and I don't know many rules, and I will understand it when I get used to it later." ”
He spoke very tactfully, and did not say that he taught the rules, but slowly got used to it and understood the rules.
Immersed in the deep palace of the mansion for many years, he has long been sophisticated and sophisticated, and this is the most measured in what to say.
Xiao Rongnian didn't pay attention to the eunuch who reprimanded her, just looked at the little emperor, although he was not as good-looking as the Lantern Festival, he was very delicate.
The little emperor looks like Princess Xianqi, with red lips and white teeth, and is a handsome brother.
The little emperor raised his head and said, "I don't want to be an emperor." ”
The old eunuch hurriedly covered his mouth, "Your Majesty, you can't say this." He looked at Rong Zhao, "Princess, the emperor is still young, don't take the nonsense that children say, don't take it to heart." ”
Rong Zhao smiled, but pretended to be stupid and asked, "What did the emperor say just now, I didn't hear clearly." ”
She called Qiushui, "Qiushui, bring some snacks you made for the emperor." Rong Zhao pulled the little emperor to his side and wiped his hands gently, "Our Aunt Qiushui is the best at making good food, and in the future, whatever you want to eat, come to Auntie's palace, and Auntie will ask her to cook it for you." ”
The little emperor watched Rong Zhao gently wipe his hands, and his heart was warm, this was the first time that someone other than the eunuch and palace maid wiped his hands for him, "Then can I come often in the future?"
"Yes, Auntie has a lot of children here, so it will be even more lively when you come. Rong Zhao touched his face with a smile, "Okay, let's go play." ”
I still had a grudge against the little emperor Rong Zhao before, after all, he was Xiao Yuheng's son, but now that I know that he is not, I don't have any mustard in my heart.
Recently, the call to support the regent as the emperor has become higher and higher, most of them are those sycophants in the court, and everyone has a clear heart, just to see who can say it first, and can follow the regent's wishes.
"In ancient times, the throne was inhabited by capable people, and the regent was benevolent, righteous, loyal and filial, and worthy of this great task. Lu Hui, a member of the Zhongshu House, responded, leaning down and kneeling, "The lower official implores the emperor to abdicate for the sake of the Great Zhou." ”
Yun Qingshan glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
Yesterday, the princess regent recruited his wife into the palace to accompany her in the name of appreciating chrysanthemums, and she didn't say anything else, but mentioned Yao Shunyu.
As soon as his wife came back to study, he understood that the meaning of the regent princess was to let the emperor follow Yao Shunyu's example and abdicate to make way for Xian, of course, the emperor would not take the initiative to abdicate, so they had to force them as courtiers.
The meaning of the princess regent must be the meaning of the regent, and if he wants to get on the road of the regent, he will descend from the sky to the ladder, how can he not grasp it well.
Last night, he urgently called all the officials who were good friends with him to his house and discussed all night.
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the court, and almost all the courtiers were shocked, especially the royalists headed by Guo Lingchen, and the expression on their faces was the same as falling into a big dye vat.
Guo Lingchen was the first to jump out, "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Lu Hui, you let the emperor abdicate, what is your intention! Are you trying to rebel!" He looked at Xiao Yuheng, "There are still people who instruct you!"
Lu Huiyi said righteously, "The lower officials are thinking about the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the princes are attacking and disturbing from other countries, isn't it because they feel that the emperor is young and can be bullied, and it is not enough to subdue the court and stabilize the society? ”
Guo Lingchen sneered and snorted coldly: "Bastard, at that time, the first emperor died, and he had no children, although the emperor was the son of King Qi, it was recorded in the name of the Empress Dowager Liu, that is, the son of the first emperor." The son of the first emperor is naturally justified! Although the regent has meritorious service on the side of the emperor, he is also the duty of a courtier, and since he is a courtier, he should not be delusional, still less should he covet the throne! Now that you have let the emperor give way to the regent, it is difficult not to remind people of the original intention of the regent's uprising!"
Nighthawk heard it loudly, didn't this old man just say that his prince was a wolf with ambition and bad intentions?
Just about to fight back, he saw Xiao Junjue looking at him and shook his head slightly, so he gave up.
Yun Qingshan glanced at Zhou Yin, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who was standing aside, Zhou Yin stepped forward and said: "The regent is the eldest son of Emperor Xiaojing, and he is relied on by Emperor Xiaojing. It was only at that time that the regent had no intention of political affairs and asked to leave Beijing and return to the fief, and the throne was passed to the first emperor. It can also be seen that the regent is not a person who covets power, otherwise, it is not known who sits on the throne now. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Junjue laughed in his heart, no wonder Rong Zhao said that he didn't need to say anything, and naturally there would be a lot of people to speak for him.
This is because he didn't want the throne in front of him at the beginning, even if he became the emperor in the future, it was not his own volition, but because he had to shoulder the people's livelihood, he had to do it.
Hey, he's embarrassed to say it.
At this time, the court had already exploded, and the royalists blamed the ministers who forced the emperor to abdicate, and Yun Qingshan's faction was not to be outdone, only Xiao Junjue did not say a word from beginning to end.
Until Li Zhanpei lifted his official robe and kowtowed upward, everyone quieted down and looked at him.
Li Zhanpei said: "The minister is the Sheji of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he implores the emperor to cede the throne to the regent." ”
During this time, he was really tired, he didn't want to fight, and he didn't want to watch the courtiers fight, and he couldn't fight, so why bother?
This world is the world of the Xiao family, no matter how many of their courtiers with foreign surnames say, what's the use of fighting for more. The regent is both talented and virtuous, benevolent and forgiving, and will be a good emperor in the future, which is more important than anything else.
He shouted three times: "The minister asks the emperor to cede the throne to the regent, the minister asks the emperor to cede the throne to the regent, and the minister asks the emperor to cede the throne to the regent." ”
