Chapter 385: Identity Revealed
Queen Gaochang didn't speak, her titular niece, under the soft and quiet skin, but inside she was ruthless and calm, she always knew what she wanted.
For the sake of a glimpse of the shock seven years ago, she could not hesitate to turn her back on her clan and take refuge in herself, in order to be able to win King Su in one fell swoop one day. In the past seven years, he has worked hard to learn Gu books, poison arts, and the art of war, and he has gone from being illiterate to being able to memorize esoteric and difficult military books backwards.
But she is not a stupid woman who only has love, she is ambitious and knows how to weigh the pros and cons.
If Princess Xiyue is a beautiful vase that will break at the touch of a button, then Qingyu is a mediocre poisonous weed, which seems inconspicuous, but can give you a fatal blow when you are unprepared.
After a while, Queen Gaochang sighed with emotion: "You are more sober than I was back then!"
Don't worry, your chance is coming soon!
The prince sent a letter, and Kyoto in Great Xia was already in chaos. ”
Her red-painted lips were hooked, and there was a hint of unbearable madness in her eyes:
"After so many years of planning and so many chess, it's finally time to use it.
Qing Yu, send a message to South Burma, the border of Great Xia has been too peaceful for too long, and it should be a mess! ”
……
At this time, although the capital was still prosperous and lively, the court officialdom that the people could not reach was shrouded in a storm.
It all started a few days ago.
Since the prince was grounded, he seems to be a filial son, and he prays for the emperor and queen in the East Palace every day. And he ordered his subordinates to collect novel snacks from the bazaar and send them to the palace.
After all, he was the only son, and within a few days the queen relented, and the matter of the hunting ground that day was given a gag order by Emperor Jing He, so the queen didn't know why the prince was grounded.
At dinner that night, the queen tentatively mentioned to Emperor Jinghe the matter of letting the prince enter the palace.
It just so happened that Emperor Jing and Emperor had been infected with wind and cold in the past few days, and people were always extra fragile when they were sick, so they lifted the prince's grounding with a little hesitation.
After that, the prince became more and more respectful and filial, because Emperor Jing and Emperor were sick, he waited by his side every day, more attentively than the personal eunuch.
Emperor Jing He, who had recovered from the wind and cold, looked at the prince cautiously, and finally sighed:
"Don't blame your father, although I am your father, I am also the king of a country. Shuo'er, this kid is more suitable to be an emperor than you.
Don't worry, I will arrange a way back for you, even if Shuo'er ascends the throne in the future, I will not embarrass you. ”
The prince lowered his eyes respectfully: "The sons and ministers all understand that the position of this prince should have been Shuo'er." ”
Seeing that he was still as docile as before, Jing and Emperor couldn't help but smile with relief: "It's good that you can think like this." ”
At this time, Feng Shuo came over to report his homework to Emperor Jing He, since Emperor Jing He had decided to change Feng Shuo to the crown prince, he was naturally very concerned about his schoolwork, and he had to check it on time every day. He was accompanied by Qin Yan, who was in charge of teaching him,
Before the little guy finished saluting, Jing and Emperor beckoned to change the person to the side of the bed, and randomly tested him for a few words of homework. Pointing to the prince who was standing quietly on the side, he said:
"If there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask your second uncle."
The prince didn't dare to look at Feng Shuo's eyes, and only whispered, "I'...... How qualified am I, what happened last time ......"
Feng Shuo seemed to have forgotten what happened last time, grabbed the corner of the prince's sleeve, and smiled sweetly at him:
"What did Uncle Erhuang say, it should be that I compensated Uncle Erhuang, last time my nephew listened to the rumors that it was too reckless, and after I went back, Mr. had already taught me a lesson. Second Emperor Uncle, you have always had a generous personality, and you will definitely not be like a nephew, right? ”
His tone is more sincere than that of the prince, and he is delicate and well-behaved, and he says such things in a milky voice, but whoever dares to refuse will definitely be scolded and bullied the weak.
The prince's expression froze, as if he didn't expect someone to pretend to be pitiful even more than him. I had to stiffen and smile and help the little guy's head: "Well, what Shuo'er said is very true." ”
Seeing that the two children were so harmonious, Jing and Emperor couldn't help but stroke their beards with relief.
At this time, the prince smiled and proposed: "Shuo'er is the only blood and blood of the eldest brother, how can he always bear the name of an illegitimate child!" According to Erchen, it is better to disclose Shuo'er's identity to the public, so that the eldest brother Jiuquan will definitely feel more at ease. ”
Emperor Jing and Emperor frowned and groaned: "You are right, Shuo'er's identity will be announced sooner or later, it's just ...... The murderer of your eldest brother has not been found for a day, and I am afraid of ......"
When it came to this, the prince also looked gloomy, but finally said:
"But if the murderer can't be found, will Shuo'er have to hide her identity all the time? Erchen just felt that this was too unfair to Shuo'er. ”
looked at the unpretentious distress and worry in the prince's eyes. If the occasion was not right, Qin Yan really wanted to go up and give him two punches.
With this expression, let alone Emperor Jing He, if he didn't know, he would never have imagined what kind of face he was secretly in.
Emperor Jing He was moved by his look, and instead handed over the decision to Feng Shuo, "Shuo'er, what do you think?" ”
Feng Shuo calmly met the prince's gaze: "The second emperor's uncle's brotherly love for his father is really touching!" ”
The prince knew that he was sarcastic, but his tone was too sincere. He could only suppress all the gloom in his heart and cooperate with the other party's words.
For a moment, he even felt that this little thing annoyed him more than Feng Lisheng.
Because Feng Lisheng had a cold face at all times, standing with the other party, he naturally showed his gentleness and harmlessness.
And Feng Shuo can pretend better than him!
At a young age, he can be so calm, if he is allowed to grow up......
Feng Shuo winked playfully at the prince whose fingers were slightly stiff, and then looked like Emperor Jing He, his little face was full of seriousness:
"My uncle and grandfather are upright, I don't want my uncle and grandfather to bear the stigma of having an affair with a woman for me, Uncle Erhuang is right, I can't hide it for the rest of my life."
Emperor Jinghe nodded: "Since you have decided for yourself, then the emperor's grandfather respects your intentions." ”
……
On the way out of the palace, Qin Yan frowned and said, "You know that the prince has bad intentions, why do you still agree?" ”
Feng Shuo had a thick history book on his lap, and when he heard this, he raised his head calmly and said:
"There's going to be this day, isn't it? I can't hide under the wings of all of you forever. ”
Qin Yan sighed: "As your temporary husband, sometimes I hope that you are as talented and strategic as your father. Sometimes I feel that it is not fair for you to put all your hopes on one child. ”
Feng Shuo smiled faintly: "Uncle don't have to think about it, I think it's good, I don't reject these." He was destined to be unable to be coquettish in the arms of his parents like an ordinary child.
"Auntie, this should already be on the way to Qindi!"
"Well, yesterday your aunt just received a letter from the princess, saying that she should help find a doctor who knows Gu arts."
……
The next day, at the court meeting, after discussing the major and minor matters presented. Emperor Jing He announced Feng Shuo's identity in front of the ministers of civil and military affairs.
This news is like boiling water rolling through a pan of oil, and a stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The first prince has been dead for nearly seven years, and after the first year or two, people have gradually accepted and become accustomed to the amazing and brilliant young man who has slowly become a legend.
But now they are told that the boy who has lived in people's memories actually has an heir!
They couldn't help but look at the little boy standing beside Jing and Emperor He. Feng Shuo took off his disguise, washed away his deliberately blue eyes, and at this time his back was straight, and he could see a little bit of the shadow of the former prince at a glance.
This news is far more surprising than a surprise for everyone, after all, the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, the prince is the same, now that the court is stable, they are used to the current prince.
Still, many followers of the former prince were happy.
However, there are also many old ministers who have been up and down in the sea and noticed that the calm court is about to surge.
Within a few days, there were rumors in private that Emperor Jing and Emperor planned to change Fengshuo to the crown prince.
This news is not a place to, think about it since Feng Shuo was brought back to Beijing by King Su as an illegitimate child, Emperor Jing and Emperor were particularly fond of it, not only hired famous teachers to teach, but also occasionally brought with him to personally guide homework.
But now that I think about it, if Feng Shuo is really just the illegitimate son of King Su, then he will give the best in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he is not a son-in-law, why bother so much?
And since Feng Shuo's identity has been announced, it stands to reason that Emperor Jing and Emperor should give this child the title of king and mansion, but the Ministry of Rites has not moved at all.
All this shows that Emperor Jing and Emperor attach great importance to this child.
In the past seven years, the prince has been quiet, and he has almost gathered the officials of the DPRK and China.
And because Emperor Jinghe only has the crown prince, avoiding the party struggle brought about by the struggle for the prince, the court can be regarded as peaceful, and the prince is also good in all aspects, and some courtiers are unwilling to break the current peace.
In short, if they were asked to choose between the prince and Feng Shuo, almost most of them would choose the prince.
However, for the reverence of the imperial power engraved in the bones of the Heavenly Family, even if there are more thoughts in their hearts, most people will only choose to obey the holy order.
After a few days like this, when some thoughtful officials were already thinking about how to curry favor with Feng Shuo, another rumor made the court completely fried.
