Chapter 62: Should King Qi Come Back?
When she came out, Zhou Yang inserted a short dagger in the style of a hairpin from her head, and the handle of the dagger was a silver hairpin in the style of magnolia flowers.
Zhou Yang was outside the Zhaoyuan Hall at the moment, if there was any fighting in the hall, he could rush in to protect Chu Yunjing.
She felt that the royal family was kneeling here, and His Majesty had not really spread the news that the oil had run out, and the queen would not dare to move.
"The imperial sister-in-law has always been in bad health, how can Qin Yun blame the imperial sister-in-law for the wrong things, the emperor's accusation is unreasonable." It was King Heng who spoke, who was also deceived by the queen's hypocritical appearance.
Everyone present recognized the queen's virtue, Chu Yunjing was unarmed, and he couldn't do anything but kneel and bow his head.
If you want to expose the hypocrisy of the queen, you can only hope that the emperor will wake up safely.
King Heng's words ushered in King Xin's eye knife, to say noble, King Heng is the son of the first emperor, and King Xin is just the emperor's uncle of the side branch.
The honor of being able to give the king of faith is all because of the current saint's thoughts and family affection, and the other royal side branches have been distributed to the states.
King Heng has always been domineering, naturally he will not give him much face, and the lord of Zhuwen County also followed King Heng's domineering, not only at the Chu family's ice banquet last year, but also usually arrogant.
Even these princes rely on the dignity of their identities to show off their might, not to mention those families, and the big seal is corrupted from top to bottom.
The two most important princes in the Zhaoyuan Hall talked to each other because of His Majesty's fainting, and the other juniors did not dare to say anything.
King Xin ignored King Heng and changed the topic: "Now it should be the crown prince who comes forward to preside over the overall situation, and tomorrow morning the dynasty can only bother His Royal Highness the prince to temporarily take charge of the government!" ”
The prince's eyelids were lifted one after another, and it seemed that he was struggling to open his eyes, saying that he was kneeling, but it was better to say that he was kneeling and sitting, still holding an armrest on his right side, and the crown princess was kneeling on the left side.
It is said that the crown princess is stupid, but she is not stupid at all in taking care of the prince, not only worrying about the prince all the time, but also taking care of everything thoughtfully and considerately.
can only prove that the prince is good to her, otherwise how can she, a pure-hearted person, know how to take care of people.
At this time, King Xin threw the ball to them, and the crown princess Wei Zhou blinked at King Xin suspiciously, and her pure eyes seemed to want an explanation.
The crown prince Qin Xiao slowly patted the back of Wei Zhou's hand and pushed Wei Zhou aside, Qin Xiao faced King Xin, who had been blocked by Wei Zhou just now.
"Hongu's body... I'm afraid it won't last long.... Ahem... Now the top priority ....." Qin Xiao looked in the direction of Chu Yunjing, Qin Xiao weakly raised his skinny index finger and pointed to Chu Yunjing who was kneeling with his head bowed: "The top priority is to ..... Recall the fifth brother back to Beijing.... Kyoto to preside over the overall situation. ”
The prince's illness had reached the point where he could not even say a complete sentence, and after saying that, he coughed heavily, and his tone was light and fluttering, like a crumbling branch and leaf, which would break if he was not careful.
Hearing this, Chu Yunjing became the focus, and the royal nobles all looked at her in unison, and she was still stunned to feel the gaze cast by her, and glanced up tentatively.
She shouldn't have come out on this occasion, but now the most suitable person to preside over the overall situation is her husband, Chu Yunjing's previous charge of the harem has long been rumored, and everyone knows it.
She didn't dare to slack off, and replied in a regular manner: "The concubines don't dare to make times, it's all up to the elders.... and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! "Chu Yunjing has learned to be obedient, since he has fought with the queen many times, he understands that he is low-key and obedient and secretly Chen Cang.
She deliberately mentioned the prince, which means that she agrees with the prince's proposal and automatically stands in line.
Qin Mian is the prince's younger brother of the same father and mother, it is not easy for the two brothers to survive under the means of the queen's mother and son, Qin Yan must understand that he will not live long, and he has to pave the way for his younger brother.
If Your Majesty has a good time, this is a good time to return to Beijing. Serve His Majesty and return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation... This is all the reason why Qin Mian came back to power, and he will not be involved.
It's just that this proposal is afraid that it can't meet Hao's wishes, Chu Yunjing resumed his bowing movement, waiting for what they were saying.
"No! Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, if Beiyue takes advantage of King Qi's return to Beijing to break the contract and raise troops to invade, then all my efforts in the north for several years will be in vain. King Heng did not save face and loudly rejected the prince's proposal in front of his children and grandchildren.
also said that the crown prince was in power, and the first order given by the prince was refuted by King Heng, and Qin Yan's already thin and dark face darkened even more.
The queen's sad voice floated in: "This palace agrees with King Heng's words, Your Majesty is auspicious, this time it will be safe, if it is because of Qin Yun's fault, urgently summon Mian'er back to Beijing to bring the people to the water and fire, then this palace.... This palace can't atone for its sins by death...."After speaking, the queen burst into tears.
Hypocrisy! Chu Yunjing only had these four words in his heart.
This scene will not end well, the emperor is so sick that he summons the royal family to be sick, and he refuses to call his son back, so that the father and son can't even see each other for the last time?
Obviously, Chu Yunjing couldn't say this, and after saying it, he would be accused of cursing the Son of Heaven with great disrespect.
When several people were discussing countermeasures, several close ministers outside the palace also entered the palace one after another to serve the sick, and at this time, the eunuch reported: "Slaves see all the nobles, Zhengguo Gong and other adults have been waiting outside the palace, and asked the queen if she passed it on?" ”
Hearing that Zhengguo Gong was coming, the queen hurriedly nodded as if she had seized the opportunity: "It's good that the adults are here, pass it on quickly!" ”
With the queen's expectant gaze and the eunuch's loud voice, the huge Zhaoyuan Hall was crowded for a while, and more than a dozen high-ranking officials first asked for peace after entering the palace, and then knelt in the direction of the emperor's dormitory and kowtowed, saying a few words of blessing.
"It's the godson of this palace who has no way, today in front of the royal family and nobles and all the adults, this palace is here to ask for guilt, I hope Your Majesty can wake up peacefully...... "Everyone is complete, the queen's play has also begun to sing, grief-stricken worship to the sky, worship to His Majesty's bedroom, this heart-wrenching atonement makes people who don't know cry.
Sure enough, Wei Zhou cried, the queen cried to atone for her sins, but Wei Zhou's crying was wrong, after all, the emperor was not dead.
When the queen heard a cry higher than her, she was stunned in place, and Wei Zhou attracted the attention of a room of people.
The prince pinched her arm hard, but she howled to herself, not understanding Qin Yan's intentions at all.
Seeing this, the palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, and she couldn't let Wei Zhou accept her wail after shaking it a few times, and in desperation, the prince had to order: "The princess is not feeling well, take her back." ”
Qin Yan's voice was not high, but it was extremely clear in the silent hall, and several palace maids helped Wei Zhou, who couldn't stand upright, out of the Zhaoyuan Palace.
As the crying became farther and farther away, Wei Guogong looked around at the unsightly faces of everyone in the hall, wiping the sweat that came out of his forehead: "The queen mother, His Royal Highness the crown prince, don't be like a little girl..... She.... She's really..."
Qin Xiao raised his hand lightly, signaling Wei Guogong not to say any more: "It's okay!" ”
No one will have the same knowledge as her, Wei Zhou has not done this kind of thing once or twice, fortunately over the years, the prince has never punished her for this, and others can't say anything.
King Xin said in a deep voice: "This king feels that His Majesty is seriously ill, and political affairs should be handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do you think?" ”
"It should be so, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already has the power to supervise the country!" Jeongkook Gong also put on a good face and took the lead.
As Jeongkook Gong spoke, the rest of the ministers didn't dare to say anything: "Yes! We have no objections! ”
"The meaning of Hongu.... The fifth brother should be called back.... Although my father did not make a clear decree.... Passed back to the fifth brother, but my dynasty has signed a contract with Beiyue, and the fifth brother has worked hard for many years.... This time, he should also do his filial piety in front of his father...."As he spoke, Qin Xiao coughed a few times, gasped lightly, and others saw that he still had something to say, just waiting for him to finish speaking: "Everyone.... What do you think? ”
Hearing this, the ministers looked at each other, recalling King Qi is both a family affair and a state affair, not someone can decide it with a word, they are all considering the power of this.
"His Royal Highness King Qi guarded the north gate for me, and it is true that he has worked hard for many years, but the northern border has not yet stabilized, and it is inappropriate to recall the ministers at this time...."
It was Zhengguo Gong who spoke, he and Qin Yun wore a pair of pants, naturally knowing that Qin Mian would come back to divide power, Zheng Guogong spoke first to make his position clear, and those who spoke had to look at his face to speak.
"The minister also thinks ....."
Mrs. Ning was just about to speak, but Chu Yunjing interrupted sharply: "What you are talking about is state affairs, the women of this palace naturally don't understand these state affairs, King Qi is His Majesty's biological flesh and blood, if the father is seriously ill and the son can't fulfill his filial piety in front of the bed, you will also put a set on yourself, will you really be willing?" Besides, Beiyue's recidivism is empty talk, is it appropriate to make it impossible for the son to be filial piety in front of his father's bed for these empty talks? ”
King Heng was dissatisfied with her junior interjection, and immediately retorted: "Hmph! He is the northern border that he has to go to, no one forced him, and he was angry with the imperial brother at the beginning, and now you say this kind of thing, if he thought of this, would he still desperately want to go to the battlefield? Now it's in a dilemma for us elders, should he come back, didn't he ask for it? ”
Chu Yunjing was not afraid of King Heng, and said with disgust: "What is the truth that Uncle Huang said? The people in the north are in dire straits, and the imperial uncle is raised in Kyoto, but have you ever thought about what kind of life the people are living, King Qi has great righteousness and invites himself to expel the barbarians, but when he arrives at the imperial uncle, it has become self-inflicted? Got into a problem? ”
The queen accused: "Presumptuous! How do you talk to your elders? ”
King Heng stood up angrily, gritted his teeth and pointed at Chu Yunjing: "What kind of woman at the door dares to accuse this king?" ”
King Xin slammed his cane and shouted, "Shut up! Shut up! You are arrogant on weekdays, this is the palace! How can you speak? "He's accusing King Heng.
