As the saying goes, a family cannot be left without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day, the ministers of the DPRK and China are expressing their grief for Gao Zhen's death, and at the same time they are beginning to work on the matter of the new emperor ascending the throne.

Han Zhongxuan not only brought back Gao Zhen's body from Cangtong City, but also brought back Gao Zhen's edict, so that the crown prince Gao Yuan inherited the throne and ruled the world.

With the announcement of the edict, it also means that the second prince Gaoling is completely out of touch with the throne, and it also indicates that the dispute for the East Palace, which has lasted for more than ten years, has officially ended.

After Gao Zhen's first seven days, in front of the Taihe Palace, Gao Yuan officially ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to Yongxi, and the wheel of history finally rolled in front of Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan sat on the dragon chair, glanced at the ministers, and had the power of an emperor.

The new emperor ascended the throne, which also indicates that Dafeng has entered a new era, according to the law of Dafeng, the new emperor ascended the throne, the vassal king went out of Beijing, according to the time, the first emperor has entered the earth, the second prince Gaoling and the third prince Gaochang should also leave Yindu.

Shenghe Temple, after Gao Zhen's death, the original prince's residence also changed from the East Palace to the harem, and was renamed Shenghe Temple.

In the hall of the Holy Peace Hall, the elderly Han Zhongxuan was dressed in a crimson crane costume and stood beside Gao Yuan, "The queen mother is the grandson of Jiangnan, and she has never been home to visit her in the palace for more than 20 years. ”

"Your Majesty, this Jiangnan, especially Suzhou, is the territory of the Gongsun family, what is the status of the Gongsun family in Dafeng, Your Majesty knows in his heart that as early as when the first emperor was there, the queen mother and the second prince were embarrassed by you everywhere because of the prince.

Now although you are the Son of Heaven, but there have been royal disputes since ancient times, not to mention the edict of the first emperor, so the old slave means that the eighteen states of Dafeng, the second prince can go there, but you can't go to Jiangnan, this King of Jingbei, the King of the East China Sea is in front of you, you can't take it lightly. Han Zhongxuan said with a deep brow.

Gao Yuan got up, put his hands behind his back, and paced in front of the table, "Born in the royal family, is there really only calculation among brothers?" The second brother and the queen mother were sad for me when I was still the crown prince, but now that I am the son of heaven, will they still have the crime of disobedience and can't get along with me, the son of heaven? After all, he is a brother, breaking bones and tendons, and if he is ruthless to his brother because he is worried about his throne, it is too ruthless. ”

"Your Majesty......"

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Han Zhongxuan was frightened, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you must not have such a fluke heart, the position of the Son of Heaven is related to the national body and national fortunes, and you must not be sloppy, if the second prince and the queen mother have really given up the throne and loyally support you, even if you don't let them return to Jiangnan, they can understand your hard work." ”

Gao Yuan stopped and looked back at Han Zhongxuan, "Gonggong Han, then do you think that if the second brother and the empress dowager have no intention of taking the throne, but I can't even go back home, will I, the son of heaven, still be a qualified son of heaven?" ”

Han Zhongxuan, who said this directly, was stunned, and immediately knelt on the ground and burst into tears, "Your Majesty must not be a woman, the first emperor's edict is in front, the old slave advises in the back, the matter of sealing the king is very important, and the slightest sloppiness is beyond remorse, Your Majesty, don't be careless." ”

Gao Yuan stepped forward to help Han Zhongxuan up, and gently patted the back of the old eunuch's hand, "Father-in-law Han, you are an old minister who follows your father, I should call you uncle according to my generation, I understand your and my father's worries."

But when I sat on this throne on the first day, I secretly vowed to change the current royal family, so that our royal family with the surname Gao would regain the imperial power of flesh and blood, and no longer a filthy place where we were killed for a dragon chair. ”

Han Zhongxuan wanted to say a few more words, but was directly interrupted by Gao Yuan's stern voice, "Father-in-law Han, I'm tired and want to rest, about the matter of my two younger brothers being crowned kings, don't interfere anymore, I have my own decision." ”

Han Zhongxuan bowed his head helplessly and retreated, "Yes, the old slave understands, but I still have to say one last word, I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

After Han Zhongxuan left the Holy Peace Hall, he stood alone in the corridor outside the palace, looking at the white flags above his head, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and in the next second, a gust of wind blew, and an old man with a rickety body quietly appeared behind Han Zhongxuan, Han Zhongxuan suddenly straightened his back, and said in a throat, "What's the situation?" ”

"The three princes are closed all day long, and their heart-rending cries can be heard outside the room from time to time, immersed in the collapse of the first emperor and unable to extricate themselves."

The one who spoke was Hyacinth, the master of the Zhongfu who had been silently monitoring the three princes, Gao Yuan could rest assured that his two younger brothers, but Han Zhongxuan would not, he wanted to ensure that Gao Yuan's throne was comfortable enough, and he would never allow anyone to threaten Gao Yuan's throne.

"Sometimes, it's easy to show your stuff if you play too much, continue to stare at the three princes, and report anything unusual to me in time." Han Zhongxuan said sharply.

"Yes."

Hyacinth arched his hand, a gust of wind blew, and the whole person disappeared in place in an instant.

……

The palace is quiet and peaceful at night, but in the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Gongsun Changping, it is a different picture.

Gao Ling, the second prince in the room, walked around the room, and the queen grandson Changping on the side sat on a chair and shook a fan while thinking about countermeasures.

Gao Ling hurriedly walked in front of Gongsun Changping, knelt directly on the ground and held Gongsun Changping's right hand, "What about the queen mother, the queen mother, the retainer will be driven out of Yindu in a few days, what can I do?" ”

Gongsun Changping looked at his uncompetitive son with heavy eyebrows, and snorted coldly, "The crown prince ascends the throne, and the brother is the king, this is the law that has not changed since ancient times, and our mother and son can't keep this Yin Du......"

"But where can we go? We have been working hard here for so many years, but in the end we have not caught anything, I am unwilling, I am unwilling! ”

Gao Ling directly threw away Gongsun Changping's hand, pulled his hair and shouted, the green tendons on his neck burst out, and his eyes were blood-red.

Gongsun Changping slapped his palm on the table, got up and roared angrily, "Unwilling, do you think this palace is willing?" Now Yin Du can't stay anymore, and the current dragon chair is indeed Gao Yuan, but what about five years later? What about ten years from now? Who can guarantee that you won't return to Yindu? ”

Gao Ling, who said this ambitious remark, was stunned, and Gao Ling, who was originally excited and angry, was instantly frightened and calmed down, and looked at his mother in a daze, "Queen Mother, what do you mean by this?" ”

Gongsun Changping sat back on the chair and said while shaking the fan, "The queen of this palace is not done for nothing, if you want to let this palace leave Yindu like this, he thinks too beautifully, and behind the forgotten queen mother is the Jiangnan Gongsun family, which controls the economic lifeline of Jiangnan."

Your uncle is also a border general with heavy troops, we want money and money, and we want people, are we afraid that we won't be able to return to Yindu? ”

Gao Ling is not stupid, he can still understand such explicit words, "But will the eldest brother let our mother and son go back to Jiangnan?" ”

"Not to mention the courtiers, Han Zhongxuan, the old dog, will definitely stand up and bark indiscriminately, but no matter how much he barks, he is still a dog, and it can't be a big deal.

The key is still in Gao Yuan, this Gao Yuan is soft-hearted, and his ears are softer, whether our mother and son can return to Suzhou depends on whether you, the younger brother, will coax this eldest brother who is the emperor......"

Gongsun Changping stood up and said, his face full of the word calculation.

Gao Ling frowned slightly, as a member of the royal family, who does not covet the dragon chair on the Taihe Palace, it is a symbol of power and status, no one wants to be inferior, and even more so the children of the royal family who regard themselves as superior.

……

Outside the Holy Peace Temple, in the early morning, the sky was just dawning, and Gao Yuan, who was the emperor, had just gotten up and had not had time to wash up when he heard the hurried footsteps of the personal eunuch, walked outside the bedroom, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the second prince has been waiting outside for a long time, do you see it or not?" ”

"Now? This is about to be the time of the early dynasty, and if there is anything to say after the early dynasty is over, he will say it again. Gao Yuan said disapprovingly while washing.

The little eunuch was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, the second prince has been kneeling outside the palace for an hour, and it seems that there is an urgent matter......

"Bang."

The door of Gao Yuan's room opened suddenly, and the little eunuch was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life, it's the slave who talks a lot, and the slave is wrong......"

Through the window, through the faintly bright sky, you can indeed see a figure kneeling outside the Holy Peace Temple, Gao Yuan frowned and looked at the eunuch next to him, and scolded, "Stand down." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Xie......" After Gao Yuan finished speaking, the little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and disappeared into the corridor.

Gao Yuan looked at Gao Ling outside, sighed helplessly, so he opened the door and walked out hurriedly, looking anxious and worried.

And after Gao Ling saw Gao Yuan come out, he also adhered to the attitude of doing a full set of acts, and kowtowed to Gao Yuan's figure and shouted, "Brother to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Gao Yuan walked to Gao Ling's side, helped Gao Ling up, and frowned slightly, "Second brother, what are you doing here?" I remember that this is the first time in more than 20 years that you have saluted me so respectfully. ”

Gao Ling bowed his hand again, bent down and bowed, "Your Majesty, my brother complained about you before, and because I did a lot of things that disrespected my brother when I was young, since my father left, my brother has been thinking about it alone for a long time.

In addition to the father and mother in the world today, only His Majesty and the third brother are the closest, now the father and the emperor have died, the younger brother is very sad in his heart, after a few days of contemplation, he realized the preciousness of family affection, the so-called brother has no overnight feud, and the younger brother also knows that now Dafeng is worried about internal and external troubles, if the people in our royal family continue to fight in the nest, it will only be the pain of the relatives, and the enemy is fast.

So the younger brother learned from the pain, and today he specially came here to ask His Majesty to take the guilt of Jing, and implore His Majesty to let the younger brother go to the land west of the river, and the younger brother is willing to protect the country with his body to resist Xiqiang, in order to atone for the sins of his youth. ”

After Gao Ling finished speaking, he knelt directly on the ground, crying, with a look of remorse and regret.

And after hearing Gao Ling's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, what Gao Ling said was not the scene he wanted to see the most for so many years, maybe the death of his father really made this unruly younger brother grow up.

If a few of their brothers can do such a brother, friend and brother, then why should the future of this great worship be unknown.
