Chapter 120: The Sudden Concubine
The eldest princess and all the ministers raised their heads and plucked out their ears, feeling that they seemed to have some problems with their hearing, and they did not hear clearly the edict read by the prime minister. Jin Tianyu?...... Who is it? The eldest son of the emperor? This emperor who doesn't like women actually has children? But he has never heard of it, he has never seen it, where did it come from?
The eldest princess asked tremblingly, "The eldest son of the emperor, where is the son of His Royal Highness the Emperor?"
The old prime minister glanced at the eldest princess. Didn't you just make a fuss announcing it? Why don't you even know about it? I'll just read it out, how do I know how the emperor has a son out of thin air?
The officials of the Zhao and Zheng factions suddenly reacted and asked in surprisingly unanimous agreement: "What does this edict mean? As we all know, the Holy One has no heirs. ”
However, it was impossible for the old prime minister to answer, and no one present answered, so everyone couldn't help but look at each other. What kind of medicine is sold in this emperor's gourd? Giving birth to a child is not a matter of one or two days, and the prince who inherits the unification can not be said to have it, right?
Only King Rui lowered his eyes, hiding his worry and deep thought.
Suddenly, the shrill voice of Xiao Jingzi's father-in-law came from the gate of the Taihe Palace: "His Royal Highness the prince has arrived!
Everyone was shocked by this surprise. All the ministers looked at the gate of the Taihe Hall behind them, and the courtiers who were originally standing in the center of the hall automatically avoided both sides of the hall, leaving a wide road in the middle. What prince, what concubine? I want to see where the cats and dogs appeared.
A thin figure in a yellow shirt appeared at the door, followed by a woman in exquisite palace clothes with an unhappy face and Xiaojingzi's father-in-law, followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
The protagonist is the six or seven-year-old boy, who calmly crossed the high threshold of the Taihe Hall and slowly walked to the front. When he walked into the field of vision of the courtiers, and when he walked through the crowd, everyone was stunned, this child had a delicate face, a smirk at the corner of his mouth, and beautiful blue eyes, which was simply a miniature version of the emperor himself.
The eldest princess, who originally wanted to question this edict of succession, choked on her chest in one breath and couldn't spit it out. Jin Tianyu, the prince who suddenly appeared, has a similar appearance of more than eight or nine points to the sick emperor, except for the blood relationship between father and son, I really can't think of any other reason.
The little boy calmly walked to the front, stood in front of the golden throne of the usual emperor, and looked at the stunned courtiers with a smile.
General Zhennan obviously didn't expect that the edict he snatched out was not what their husband and wife were convinced to pass on the throne to King Rui. He felt his mind confused, pointed to the little boy and said, "You...... Who the hell are you?"
The little boy did not have the timidity to face a bunch of adult doubts at all, but rolled his eyes, this action made all the courtiers have a sense of familiarity of going back in time and seeing the emperor when he was a child. I only heard him answer clearly: "I am the eldest son of the emperor, Jin Tianyu, what the eldest son, I am actually the only prince." According to my father's edict, he passed on the throne of the Great Jin Kingdom to me. ”
A young minister sent by King Zhao expressed everyone's doubts: "You...... Where did you come from? No, Your Royal Highness, where did you live before?"
The little boy replied with a smile: "My mother has always taken me to live in the 'Luowu Palace'. ”
Isn't that the concubine of the cold palace, and then everyone focused their attention on a woman standing next to him. The woman looks like she is about twenty years old, and she is very delicately dressed, but under the delicate makeup, she has an ordinary face. But, apparently, she was not as happy as her son, frowning slightly, looking back at everyone.
Rao is very familiar with the eldest princess of the harem, and she doesn't know why she is allowed. Jin Rui opened this harem with two nobles, who were given by neighboring countries, and it is difficult to say whether they were favored by him, why did a noble concubine suddenly appear?
This is the woman brought by the emperor's red man Xiao Jingzi, could it be that Xiao Jingzi was instructed by to launch a tanuki to replace the prince? After all, he has been with the emperor all the year round, and he is very familiar with the emperor's handwriting, and he also knows very well where the jade seal of the country is placed. If you say that the most convenient person to be pretentious, it is none other than Xiao Jingzi.
The eldest princess's eyes sharpened: "Concubine, why don't you know that the emperor canonized the concubine?"
Xiao Jingzi took a step forward and said: "Just now, General Zhennan broke into the imperial study, looking for the emperor's edict of succession, and hurried to the Taihe Hall when he got the edict. After speaking, he gasped twice, as if he was really chasing after the general, and he continued: "The emperor has an edict and can issue an edict in advance, but the two imperial decrees are promulgated together. The general only took away the edict of succession, and the villain still had a holy decree in his hand. ”
As soon as they heard that there was still a holy decree, although everyone muttered in their hearts, they still knelt down respectfully on their faces.
Xiao Jingzi's father-in-law was a veteran when he read the holy decree, and he raised his voice and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." ”
The little prince and the woman who were standing at the top also knelt down.
"The foundation of the world is in the country, the foundation of the country is at home, I am the way, in order to be in the country, there is a praise, there must be a virtue. Sun's Yuxia, soft and quiet, Duanyi and Huihe, especially into the concubine, living in Fanghua Palace. Chin!"
Sun Yuxia?!
Even though the courtiers themselves don't read those anecdotes and folk tales, the ladies of the family are all watching "This Love", and they have more or less heard it from their wives and daughters. Now, the characters in this story are standing in front of everyone! It seems that the book is telling the real thing! However, why does this Sun Yuxia look so rough...... is not as good as the little palace maids in the palace, the vision of His Majesty the Emperor is really special.
After Xiao Jingzi's father-in-law read it out, he also explained very thoughtfully: "For protection and other reasons, the emperor has not canonized Sun Guifei, but has been hiding it in the cold palace. The birth and growth of the little prince is also absolutely confidential. However, the emperor felt that the limit was approaching, so he drafted two edicts to correct Sun Guifei's name and pass on the throne to the little prince. ”
The royal children are in crisis, and it is not easy to grow up, it turns out that the emperor did not abandon the beginning and end as in the book, but protected the beloved woman! He would rather bear the infamy himself, and be distorted and misunderstood as "no" or like Longyang. What a good man! The ministers sighed in their hearts, and by the way, they despised their wives and daughters, and the books were really nonsense.
Seeing the courtiers' gradual recognition, the eldest princess suddenly sounded an alarm in her heart, even if Jin Ruikai died herself, she actually left an heir, so how could her son still have a share? How to achieve her goal of "the actual queen mother"? No, at this time, she must question to the end.
