Chapter 243: The Emperor Is Crazy!
Shen Xinyue leaned to the side and smiled helplessly: "I don't know everything, this prince of your family has a lot of thoughts." ”
Who knows, Si Qi smiled slightly and retorted: "Princess, the prince seems to belong to your family, and it has nothing to do with the slaves and maids." ”
Shen Xinyue just looked at her like this, why is this girl so unable to speak, can't she be polite?
"Okay, I won't tell you, let's go, let's go out and see how far the rumors have got, I'm afraid that all the things in Huo Weilou's hands haven't been released yet."
What they wanted to do, Shen Xinyue couldn't guess a little, but she felt that Huo Weilou should not be as unsure as he said.
"When the princess said this, the prince heard it, and he was going to be sad again."
Shen Xinyue smiled and didn't reply, just took Si Qi outside for a turn.
Before going back, I happened to hear Huo Weilou arranging troops.
"Lord Wang, are we just going to besiege and not attack?"
The adjutant general next to General Yun didn't understand.
Huo Weilou nodded, looking at the surrounding terrain with his hands behind his back.
"All of us are around, according to the king's understanding of the emperor, he wants to fight, but the ministers in the court may not want to fight, after all, there are still people in the city, once the fight starts, it is hard to say, will it hurt the innocent, the best thing is that the emperor himself admits his guilt."
But how could the emperor admit it?
Huo Weilou smiled at the corner of his mouth.
In that position, in order to protect himself, he did not hesitate to frame himself as a traitor.
"You're right, sure enough, everyone says that the regent cares about the people, has the world in mind, and is a wise monarch who can sit on the throne, and now it seems that what they said is not wrong."
Huo Weilou was not happy to be flattered, but frowned.
"This king has no intention of chasing the deer, but he is just forced to be helpless."
He can be said to have avoided the throne all along.
Old General Yun looked at Huo Weilou meaningfully, and said: "If it is said that he will succeed to the throne, the prince is a well-deserved first choice, there is no one, the prince, I don't know the concubine Rou in the story, but the one who almost became the queen back then." ”
Huo Weilou laughed and didn't speak.
"General, what are you talking about? What Queen? ”
The adjutant general didn't understand, and looked at Old General Yun and asked.
Old General Yun glanced at Huo Weilou, and saw that he had no other reaction, so he continued.
"Back then, Concubine Rou, the queen, and Concubine Shu married at the same time, and according to Concubine Rou's life experience, she was the only candidate for the queen, and there was even a rumor at that time that as long as Concubine Rou gave birth to a prince, she would be the eldest son and directly canonized the queen, but this Concubine Rou lost too much blood on the day she gave birth, so she died, and the rest of the little prince was nowhere to be found, and she has not been able to find it yet."
"Some people also say that the little prince was taken away by the former prince Huo Wuyi, and some people say that he was taken away by someone arranged by Concubine Rou, and there are even rumors that the little prince died at birth, which calmed down all the remarks, and later, the queen successfully sat on the back seat, and Concubine Shu was silent in the concubine position for many years."
After so many years, it's a little confusing.
"If the little prince hadn't died back then, he would have been His Majesty's eldest prince and eldest son, and he would have succeeded to the throne smoothly, who would dare to say anything?"
Since ancient times, if the eldest son has the talent and the ability, it is not impossible to be succeeded by the crown prince.
"The story of General Yun is very good, but it's a pity, this king doesn't know what General Yun is talking about."
Old General Yun didn't say any more, just smiled.
"Do you know, the prince himself knows in his heart, back then, the minister was fortunate to see the side of the concubine Rou, but he never forgot it, and he also saw someone who looked similar to Concubine Rou, but he didn't recognize it, and the minister had no choice."
Huo Weilou smiled and didn't continue.
Old General Yun, they were discussing other things.
It was Shen Xinyue, who looked at Huo Weilou thoughtfully.
She seemed to understand why Huo Weilou would say that she was not sure.
His eyes were a little complicated and he left the outside of the tent.
At this moment, in the palace, all the ministers gathered in the council hall.
"Your Majesty, now the regent and the army of General Yun are camped less than five miles outside the city gate, if this is directly attacked, we may not be able to withstand it!"
"Back to Your Majesty, the surrounding county guards and the generals stationed in various places have rejected our call for help, thinking that you will admit the wrong things you have done."
The Emperor threw down what he was holding again.
"Wrong? What did I do wrong? When did I do something wrong? Didn't he rebel against me? What is the difference between his current behavior and rebellion? And he Yun Mingchuan, he followed Huo Weilou to mess around, do you really have to admit your mistakes? Don't! ”
The emperor has reached the point of his wrath, where is his mistake?
He did all this for the sake of the country, was he wrong?
He's right, anyone can make mistakes, he is the emperor, he is the Son of Heaven, how can he be wrong?
"Your Majesty, admit your mistakes, the next edict of guilt, it is not ashamed, you can also use this to let General Yun and the regent retire, kill two birds with one stone, what happened back then, you are wrong, you have a scale in your heart, I believe you will know it, not scolding?"
The emperor red-eyed and looked at the man.
"What's wrong? Yes, you are wrong. ”
As he spoke, he drew the sword of the military general on the side and stabbed directly into the minister who made him convict himself.
"Whoever says this again will end up in one place, I hope you can figure it out."
The man died before he could react, and even his eyes widened and he looked at the emperor incredulously.
Everyone was scared.
"Now, do you still think I'm wrong?"
No one dared to speak, and even a little panicked, for fear that if one was not careful, the sword in the emperor's hand would stab him.
"Let's go, if I can't think of a way, I'll have to take out my anger on you."
The Emperor is already crazy at the moment.
Everyone walked out with palpitations.
Outside the main hall.
"Zhang Shoufu, you say something, you haven't spoken since Fang Cai, and you, Mo Shaoqing, aren't you Shaoqing of Dali Temple? Isn't your relationship with the Lord Regent pretty good? Do you want to persuade me? ”
He smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "What does this have to do with me?" Besides, as far as Your Majesty's behavior is concerned, do you think it is more important to convince the prince or your majesty? Even if he convinces the prince, the prince is willing to come back, but what about the next time? The next time Your Majesty comes again, the prince will not be the same. ”
He was clearly at a loss for what he could do.
"Zhang Shoufu, you said, is this the truth?"
Zhang Shoufu nodded, agreeing with his statement.
"Yes, Mo Shaoqing's words are reasonable, Your Majesty's suspicions are very serious, not to mention that this time the soldiers are pressuring the realm, Your Majesty has never felt that he is at fault, he is like this, even if the prince really retreats, he will look for an opportunity to make a move against the prince, why don't we go to the queen mother to have a look."
Zhang Shoufu thought about it, and now the only one who can persuade the emperor is the queen mother.
It was as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Yes, the Queen Mother is Your Majesty's biological mother, and what her old man says, Your Majesty should hear it."
Seeing that this proposal was agreed to by everyone, everyone walked towards Shoukang Palace.
The Queen Mother seemed to have expected them to come over, and she had been waiting for a long time.
After they entered, the Queen Mother sat in her seat.
"The purpose of your coming today, the mourning family knows, but the mourning family can only say that there is nothing to be done, and the emperor's behavior is not in line with the mourning family."
The Queen Mother said worriedly.
"You don't know, our mother also persuaded Your Majesty, but Your Majesty, Nian Niangniang is his biological mother, so he didn't make a move on her old man, but he also drove her old man out, this is ......"
The grandmother beside the Queen Mother explained, and looked at other people's faces again.
Zhang Shoufu's face was a little unsightly.
"Do you just watch Your Majesty make mistakes again and again? All it takes is an edict to admit all the things that have been done, is it so difficult? The prince is not an unreasonable person. ”
The Queen Mother sighed lightly.
"Yes, that kid, I have been thinking about the love between them for so many years, and I have never done it, if I hadn't been forced to do it this time, I wouldn't have made such a decision."
The meaning of these words, everyone smelled that something was wrong.
"Queen Mother, what do you mean by this?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
The Queen Mother sighed and smiled, a little bitter.
"The emperor is not benevolent, the mourning family has always known and knows that he is afraid of the regent palace, but if the regent palace alone is not enough to make him jealous, what he is really afraid of is the child's life experience."
Zhang Shoufu stood up, his face changed suddenly.
"Niangniang, please make it clear, what is the prince's life experience?"
When Zhang Shoufu looked at the Queen Mother, he was a little excited.
"What the emperor has done over the years, you all know, is stubborn, suspicious and slanderous, and it is not suitable to sit in that position at all, but there is a child, very similar to his imperial grandfather, so to speak, carved out of the same mold as his imperial grandfather."
"Zhang Shoufu, do you remember your daughter, Concubine Rou?"
Zhang Shoufu's body trembled, and he looked at the Queen Mother incredulously.
"Back then, Concubine Rou was killed prematurely by the queen and Concubine Shu, and the child was born to her desperately, at the moment of birth, in addition to the mourning family, there was actually one person present at the time."
"The old regent, he was also on the spot at the time, and Concubine Rou knew that she couldn't protect the child, so instead of letting the child grow up in the palace, it was better to go out of the palace, so she discussed a plan with the mourning family, replacing the child with a dead baby, and sending the child out of the palace."
"Almost at the same time, the eldest son of the regent died young, and in order to replace this child, he let the old princess lie, which is why the old princess has always disliked the child."
"Zhang Shoufu, after so many years, haven't you noticed that the regent Huo Weilou looks almost exactly the same as your daughter, Zhang Yunrou?"
At the same time, the old princess is a side branch of the Zhang family.
It is similar to Concubine Rou by three points.
It is this resemblance that everyone ignores.
"Why did the Queen Mother say it today?"
The Queen Mother smiled.
"Disclose his identity, he is the eldest son, since the emperor is already so ridiculous, it is better to support the new monarch, if Zhang Shoufu doesn't believe it, you can ask him when the child comes back, but on the shoulder, there is a butterfly-shaped birthmark, this is the mark of the birth of the child back then, Zhang Shoufu should know, right?"
Zhang Shoufu did know that when the child was born, he was told that the fetus was insufficient, and it was gone not long after birth, but the child had a butterfly-shaped birthmark on the shoulder, and later, the dead baby did not have it, he thought that it was Wen Po's mistake.
It's been delayed for so many years.
When I first saw that child, it was when he was ten years old, and he was taken by the old regent.
I thought it was because of the old princess, so I didn't think much about it, at most I was shocked.
