Chapter 378: Yang Qiaoyue goes to prison
Chu Yechen didn't know why Emperor Xuande wanted to pull Yang Qiaoyue, his brows furrowed, "This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Yue!" It's all the king's intentions. ”
"You don't want to cover it up for her, if it's not because of her, then why do you refuse!"
"Erchen has already said that if the ancestral system is broken, it will be a curse, and it may not be visible now, but it will definitely break out at some point in the future."
Emperor Xuande couldn't listen to it, and still thought that it was Yang Qiaoyue who influenced Chu Yechen, and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for her, you might have changed your decision." ”
Chu Yechen felt the emperor's threatening tone, and his face turned cold, "What does the emperor mean by this!" She is the wife of her son, and she will never let anyone hurt her again if she risked her life! Anyone! ”
The atmosphere in the hall was deadlocked, father and son came to each other, and Emperor Xuande was so angry that he trembled.
Chu Xuanyan was on the side, he knew that the dispute between Uncle Wang and Grandpa Huang was related to him, and he was depressed, maybe he and his father were wrong when they entered Beijing.
The ministers only advised the emperor to take care of the dragon's body and did not express an opinion on this matter.
Emperor Xuande's face was pale and gloomy, he didn't know that this was against the ancestral system, but Chu Xuanyan was only twelve years old, and he had been away from Beijing for so many years, and the ministers couldn't recognize it all, how could he convince the public.
"Let's step down, let's discuss this matter at a later date!" Emperor Xuande didn't want to discuss it and asked the ministers to step down.
The ministers left the palace one after another, and their hearts were also swaying, whether to follow the ancestral system to establish Chu Xuanyan or to establish Chu Yechen according to the prestige in front of them.
After they retreated, Emperor Xuande noticed that Chu Xuanyan's eyebrows were lowered and his mood was depressed.
"Xiao Yan, don't blame Grandpa Huang. You're too young, and I want you to be free to live your life as you wish. Emperor Xuande comforted him.
Chu Xuanyan had no choice, and responded in a low voice, "It's Xiao Yan who is incompetent, and he can't share the worries of Grandpa Huang and Uncle Wang." ”
Chu Yechen looked at the sensible child, in his opinion, Chu Xuanyan's kind and resolute character is completely competent, he has experienced hardships since he was a child, and he can better understand the sufferings of the people in the world, these are things that every royal child does not have, and cannot learn. As for what Emperor Xuande was worried about, Xiao Yan would become more and more mature as he got older.
Emperor Xuande saw that Chu Yechen was really hard-hearted, this was something he didn't expect, and it was useless to force him. Thinking of the scene just now when Chu Yechen was worried about taking care of himself, he sighed, "You can leave too!" ”
Chu Yechen left the Heart Cultivation Hall after saluting, and before going out, the voice of Emperor Xuande came from behind him: "Don't regret it!" ”
"No regrets!" Chu Yechen didn't turn around and said firmly.
After speaking, he didn't hesitate any longer, and left the Heart Cultivation Hall to wait for Yang Qiaoyue outside the Imperial Garden.
Imperial Garden, Zhang Xinger is holding Yang Qiaoyue's hand and enjoying the flowers in the garden, here is the place where the concubines and the emperor often take a walk on weekdays, full of exotic flowers and plants, towering trees surround the garden, rockery pavilions, winding paths, there is no fun.
Zhang Xinger was absent-minded, and couldn't help but bring up the topic last time.
"Sister Xiaoyue, the emperor's holy body is not safe, you should know what happened to the emperor's ministers entering the palace. This palace wants to implore you, I hope that the prince can remember the friendship with his eldest brother, let Xiaoyan go to the mountains and rivers, and be a free prince from now on. ”
Yang Qiaoyue did not evade this time, she said seriously: "Niangniang is too worried, the prince just wants to act in accordance with the ancestral system, and has no intention of fighting for anything." ”
Zhang Xing'er was stunned, according to the ancestral system, it was passed down to the emperor's eldest grandson, seeing that Yang Qiaoyue was not joking, didn't they have any idea about that position!
"You ......."
Before Zhang Xing'er could say anything, her grandmother came from afar, "Niangniang, King Nanping is outside to pick up Concubine Yue." ”
"So fast?" Zhang Xing'er was surprised, if the prince could be busy, this seemed to confirm Yang Qiaoyue's words.
Yang Qiaoyue didn't care about her expression, she was worried about what punishment Chu Yechen would receive if he refused the emperor, and blessed Zhang Xing'er: "Niangniang, the concubine will retire first." ”
Zhang Xing'er came back to her senses, "Let Mama send you out." ”
"Xie Niangniang."
After speaking, Mama sent Yang Qiaoyue out of the imperial garden, Chu Yechen was waiting outside, and when she saw her come out, the serious expression on her face immediately softened.
"Are you alright?" The two asked each other in unison, and immediately looked at each other and smiled.
Chu Yechen asked her to hold her hand: "Let's talk about it when we go out of the palace." ”
The two of them left the palace, and Chu Yechen told Yang Qiaoyue about the Heart Cultivation Palace, but in the end, the result was inconclusive.
Yang Qiaoyue heard Emperor Xuande's parting words Don't regret it, her face was solemn, "You brushed your father's face in front of him, I'm afraid it will make him very unhappy." ”
"Okay, don't worry, all I do is for Da Chu's stability. This is the hidden danger of the future, especially when my uncle and nephew have different intentions, I am old, and there are traitors, there will be civil strife. If we follow the ancestral rites, at least this generation, we can protect Dachu without worry. Chu Yechen said in a firm tone.
Of course, Yang Qiaoyue understood his thoughts, "I said, no matter what decision you make, I will be by your side to support you!" ”
Chu Yechen hugged her gently, "I'm worried about you." ”
Yang Qiaoyue snuggled up to him and was very relieved: "The imperial concubine also mentioned this matter to me in the imperial garden just now, and I also told her our thoughts. If they understand, they should focus on Xiao Yan at this time. ”
"That's it! It makes my wife tired. Chu Yechen said with a smile.
Yang Qiaoyue took a bite of him: "you, go home!" I have to prepare to go home. ”
"Listen to Madame!"
The two laughed and returned to the palace.
There was no news of what happened in the Heart Cultivation Hall on this day, these are all important ministers of the court, they know the seriousness of the matter, and they are very strict. After a period of time, Emperor Xuande unexpectedly didn't mention this matter again, but just handled state affairs in the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, and asked Chu Xuanyan to accompany him every day.
Yang Qiaoyue and Chu Yechen returned to the Yang family on the third day, and returned to the palace on the same day, the days were very peaceful, the two of them were sometimes in Nanzhuang, and sometimes they lived in the palace.
During this period, only Yang Lanhua, the third girl of the Yang family, showed up once at the wedding, and Yang Lanhua married Huang Lin as she wished. In addition to the eldest brother, the other three brothers left Jingshi after attending Yang Lanhua's wedding, and Mu Enen followed the third brother Yang Chengyi to Guan Shanwei on this trip.
The prestige of the Yang family is rising day by day, Yang Chengdong has stabilized in the Hanlin Academy, and Chu Xuanyan will also come over to ask questions in his spare time, and Emperor Xuande did not stop him.
Three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and Emperor Xuande's body has completely deteriorated, and it is very difficult to even speak.
Chu Yechen and Yang Qiaoyue entered the palace to visit on this day, and the imperial doctors' faces were ugly, and they all had no medicine available, just waiting for Emperor Xuande to see how long he could last.
Zhang Xing'er and Chu Xuanyan were both waiting, and Emperor Xuande looked at Chu Yechen and asked with difficulty: "Chen'er, are you still ...... Didn't change your mind? ”
"Father!" Chu Yechen felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he still insisted on his thoughts, "It hasn't changed!" ”
Emperor Xuande then stroked Chu Xuanyan's head, and asked Gao Gonggong to summon the cabinet and Hanlin scholars, and finally announced that Li Chu was declared the crown prince and supervised the country.
The ministers were not surprised, in the past three months, everyone has seen it, and many people have persuaded Chu Yechen, but they have not been able to move, knowing that this will be the result.
Chu Yechen and Yang Qiaoyue glanced at each other, their faces were flat, this matter was finally settled, but they didn't expect it to be over.
Emperor Xuande looked at Yang Qiaoyue and said in a low voice: "Someone! Concubine Yue violated the ancestral system and intervened in internal affairs and military affairs a few months ago, although she had a meritorious role in blocking Wara, she was not worth it, and she was put in prison! ”
The Miyagi Forbidden Army, who had already been in ambush outside the house, immediately rushed in and surrounded them.
Chu Yechen, Zhang Xing'er, Chu Xuanyan and the ministers all looked stunned, not knowing what was going on.
Yang Qiaoyue's brows were tightly locked, and she didn't know what Emperor Xuande meant.
"Grab it!" Emperor Xuande gasped and shouted vigorously.
The Praetorian Guards approached step by step, with shields and weapons.
Chu Yechen came back to his senses, got up and shouted angrily: "You dare! ”
