Chapter 36: Killing
Just when everyone thought that the queen would come forward to criticize Xiao Qi, things took a big turn!
It was Xu Ling'er who was reprimanded, and the queen personally ordered her to think about it behind closed doors for half a month!
This abrupt punishment, don't say Xu Ling'er, even the people on the street can't understand it.
"Did you hear that? Now even the queen doesn't dare to offend King Qi, who will succeed to the throne is not certain! ”
As the saying goes: good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the matter was rendered in Kyoto City on the second day, and it was unbearable.
Xiao Qi has always been respectful and filial, and everyone speculated why King Qi had such improper behavior, and it was rumored that it was because of the edict!
Xiao Qi did not go to court for several days because of Qu Lanyue's serious injury, so he was repeatedly impeached.
Say anything! There just isn't a good word.
said that he, the wolf's ambition, and that Qu Zhongzhen are afraid that they have long been in the same stream.
said that he, as a prince, had no intention of doing things for a woman, and was ashamed of the emperor.
Say that he, the snake and the rat at both ends, is mercenary!
His Majesty left five sons and three daughters in his life, in addition to the crown prince Xiao Ting and the eldest princess Xiao Yun born to the queen, there are also the second prince Xiao Ye, the third prince Xiao Qi, and the young fourth prince and five princes and the youngest two twin princesses.
The second prince is mediocre and incompetent, and he is attached to Xiao Ting, and His Majesty made it clear when he was alive that he was not a person who could be entrusted with important tasks. The other two princes, one twelve, and the other six, are not to be feared, and the only one left is Xiao Qi.
If you really talk about it, the worst born among the many princes is Xiao Qi, whose biological mother was originally a maidservant girl next to the late Queen Mother, and she mistakenly gave birth to Xiao Qi.
Without the help of his grandfather's family, and his mother is an empty vase, Xiao Qi has come this way, and only he knows the hardships.
Just like right now, everyone wants to push him into a corner.
The edict caused constant disputes in the court, and now the border wars have been repeatedly defeated, and the court has its own opinions and is in chaos.
"Prime Minister, you said that Your Majesty left an edict, where is the edict? Looking at it now, who can take on the heavy responsibility of the lord of a country except His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! According to the lower officials, it must be your old ears and ears, and you have heard it! ”
Zhao Zhengyuan, a cabinet scholar, was angry about Xiao Qi's matter, and shouted at the gray-bearded Prime Minister Shen Lao.
Xiao Ting looked distressed but helpless, "Lord Zhao! How can you be disrespectful to the prime minister? Shen Lao said that if there is, then there is, and now the palace is also looking forward to the early recovery of the edict, and someone will come forward to stabilize the situation! ”
Old Master Shen stood at the head of the hundred officials, holding a jade wat in his hand, and his body did not say much.
"Lord Zhao said cautiously, the prime minister is an old minister who assisted the kings of the two dynasties, how can he talk vainly about the throne!"
Shen Lao has many protégés, many of whom have obtained fame and become officials in the same dynasty, so naturally he can't see others saying this, and some people speak out to protect him.
You look at me and say a word, the main hall is very lively!
"The third emperor brother is just angry this time, if the edict is recovered, it is confirmed that the candidate for the throne preferred by the father is the third emperor brother, and I hope that all the adults can also throw away the past and assist with all their might."
Xiao Ting's righteousness made a group of officials praise again and again, and the supporters were even more than before.
On the other hand, Xiao Qi's notoriety is spreading more and more, and it is becoming more and more outrageous.
Some people even say that Xiao Qi has been laying out an overall situation since many years ago, first using means to capture Qu Lanyue's heart and promise the position of queen, so Qu Zhongzhen will support the army and respect himself, and coerce the emperor to change the throne Zhaoshu. Later, seeing that the matter was revealed, Xiao Qi turned around and married the daughter of the Guogong Mansion in order to protect himself, pretending to be attached to the prince.
