Han Maojie would never tolerate such behavior from the crown prince of the palace, so he said with a cold face: "Please resign from your position as crown prince and go to Zhuangzi to be raised in honor."
"Daddy!"
Before anyone else could speak, Mrs. Yang knelt down in the main hall, "Dad, we have just returned to the capital, and the prince has to resign. I'm afraid it's inappropriate! My daughter-in-law has always known about this matter, and the prince has never hidden it. Daughter-in-law. Now, since there is nothing to hide, there is nothing to hide. None of the people here are outsiders. What we are talking about behind closed doors is a family matter! Rather, let’s say that the daughter-in-law is the wife of the second marriage. When dealing with the affairs of the Yi people, she cannot get together with her husband often. Although they are husband and wife, it is no different from living in other places. Now, her children need to get married, so she has returned to the capital. And because her daughter-in-law's health is really not good enough, she cannot serve her parents-in-law. I can't accompany my husband, and I can't host the reception, so I specially invited her back so that my daughter-in-law can rest in peace and recuperate..."
As he spoke, he knocked his forehead hard on the ground, "Father, if my father hadn't died in the war and entrusted my son to my father-in-law before his death, things might not have been like this. My father-in-law took care of me and promised me his son's marriage. This is Father-in-law's righteousness. But father-in-law's righteousness has to be paid for by the prince's lifetime marriage. Father-in-law, the fault is not entirely the fault of the prince! If the prince loses his position as the prince because of this, how can the daughter-in-law have the face to see her husband again? Please forgive me, father-in-law."
After saying that, he kowtowed to Emperor Wen Zhao again, "Please, Your Majesty, please be considerate..."
He actually wanted to take the initiative to avoid it and invite outsiders to come in.
Han Zhenzhu stood up and grabbed her mother, "Mom - you..."
Mrs. Yang held her daughter down and kowtowed to the queen, "Mother, if the prince is deposed from the throne because of this, and the ceremonial officials ask questions, and the people of the world ask questions, how can the emperor and the queen respond?"
Tongtong grabbed the queen's hand, and Yang's words immediately hit the queen.
Is this an allusion to the fact that the emperor also accepts concubines? These words changed the expressions of those present. Han Siyuan hurriedly shouted: "Auntie, be careful what you say!"
But the queen only smiled and said, "It's okay! The whole family is together and we are not allowed to talk." She patted Tongtong's hand and said, "Go and help your eldest uncle of the Han family up."
Tongtong went over and helped the person up, "Madam, please get up."
The Queen looked at Yang, "As a family, it doesn't hurt to talk. In this matter, whether it is the old prince or your Majesty and I, what we are most worried about is that you will be wronged. We all know whether we are good or not when it comes to marriage. Where is your Majesty? People who took concubines under such circumstances, and the circumstances under which they gave birth to these princes and princesses, I know, and everyone in the world knows it. At that time, court affairs were obscure, and there were constant disputes in the court... And how can these be determined in a few words? Yes! Is it right to ask the Holy One to ignore the court and just do it for me? Is it wronged? Who in this world is not wronged? I am wronged, but ask Gao Fei Xiao Concubine, are they not wronged? And these children, Who has not been wronged? But we all know why we are wronged. For the sake of Anchaotang, we are worth the grievance. But brothers and sisters, what about you? If you really don’t feel wronged, then As you requested. Your Majesty had no intention of punishing the Crown Prince for this matter, otherwise why would he mention it at the family banquet? Whether it is me, your Majesty, or the old prince, I hope to give you an explanation. Why? Because of you My father died fighting for the imperial court. It is the responsibility of the old prince to take good care of you and prevent you from being wronged, and it is also the responsibility of this palace and His Majesty."
As he spoke, he looked at Yang with a serious face: "Now, the palace can make the decision for you..."
Yang couldn't help but shake her head, "I thank you for your kindness! But I really don't feel wronged. I hope to welcome that woman and her children into the house..."
That means no one can stop it.
Han Maojie snorted coldly, "You can't bear to be the heir, right?"
I don’t dare!
Han Maojie looked at Emperor Wen Zhao and said in a sonorous tone: "Prince Annan's misbehavior and his personal ethics have been compromised. He deserves to be punished! I believe that the title should be reduced in descending order!"
What does it mean? It means that the title given by the Holy Father is the title of Prince, and even the descendants of the family can be canonized. This means that if the descendants of the family have no meritorious service for at least three generations, the title will be reduced in descending order.
Just like the Lin family, if Lin Chongwen's son has no meritorious service, he will still be the king of the county. If Lin Chongwen's grandson is not good enough, he will still have the title of Duke. After that, there will be marquis, earl, and viscount.
In other words, eight generations of people have had titles!
When I curse, I always say that I have shamed your ancestors for eight generations. What would it be like if this title could be passed down to eight generations?
What about eight generations? How many years can a dynasty last? It can be said that as long as Da Chen is here, the descendants are not too bad, and as long as they don't get into trouble, they will have no worries.
But now Han Maojie said, if the crown prince still wants to be the crown prince, that’s fine! Then just pledge the entire palace! I am a prince, and in your hands I will be the king of the county.
The government is here.
Now there are only two ways in front of you: either, for the sake of the royal family, you should stop being the heir apparent and ask the third child to come back and be the heir apparent. The royal family only has three generations of descendants; or, you selfishly occupy the position of the heir apparent and call your son
Bro your nephew is paying for your actions.
How to choose? You do it!
Yang never imagined that her father-in-law would be so heartless.
Han Maojie looked at his daughter-in-law: "How many people you want to live with is your business. But what kind of person I want to inherit the palace is something I can have the final say. How to choose is up to you.
of."
Doesn’t this force people to have no way out?
Han Zongmin's pupils shrank, "That's exactly what I meant! I know that I am not worthy of my position. Please resign as the Crown Prince..."
"Okay!" Han Maojie responded loudly, then looked at Emperor Wen Zhao and said, "Let's make an edict! This edict will not be announced for the time being and will be announced after the third child comes back."
Be quick and decisive!
Han Maojie looked at his grandson, "You want to marry Defeng?"
yes!
Han Maojie nodded: "Since your father is not the eldest son, and you don't want to be the eldest grandson, then don't do it. If Defeng doesn't regret the marriage, then it will be done! I promise you. Let's choose a day to get married!"
Zhao Defeng's face was extremely complicated, but he still stood up and said, "Second grandfather, I want to marry Han Chengsong. Regardless of whether he is the grandson of the royal family or not, I am willing to marry him. I will never regret it in this life."
Han Maojie glanced at Zhao Defeng with complicated eyes and sighed heavily: "In that case, I just hope that you will never regret it throughout your life."
People outside don't know the news in the palace, and everyone in the capital is discussing the affairs of Prince Annan's palace. The prince has returned to the capital, and the grandson is going to marry the princess again. The talk is very lively.
The palaces on both sides are busy with guests every day and are very lively.
This matter has nothing to do with Tongtong at all. Anyway, it is under the nose, so it will definitely not cause trouble.
Then let’s get busy with our business!
The only thing that needs attention is that when the Lin family was having a banquet, Tongtong asked someone to send something over. Whether it was the aunt Ma or the sister-in-law Fang, they were both big-hearted women. The old lady was more meticulous.
But the old lady is too old to care about things. She just doesn’t care about things. It’s right to handle the housework this way, and there’s nothing wrong with doing it that way. Each person has her own way! She leaves it to her daughter-in-law to take care of the house, so she doesn’t care about it. It’s good or bad.
No matter what, it doesn’t matter.
In this case, Tongtong had to worry about having someone accuse the Lin family behind their backs.
Days like this lasted for more than a month, and as it was approaching the twelfth lunar month, something happened.
It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and Han Zongjing of the Han family has returned to the capital. Unlike Han Zongmin, who looks elegant and graceful at first glance, Han Zongjing is of medium height, has a skinny monkey-like appearance, and looks very capable. As soon as this man comes back, he bows to his head.
, he calls himself "Holy Emperor". But when it comes to private occasions, he calls him "Emperor Brother" one after another without making any noise.
Then he turned around and came to the East Palace again to pay homage to the prince.
His attitude was respectful and friendly. The Fourth Master helped him up, but he took the Fourth Master's hand and looked at the Fourth Master up and down: "Your Highness has grown up like this. I think you should be happy to know that the late Emperor knows you."
It means that he had a close relationship with Emperor Wu Zhao in his early years.
The Fourth Master laughed and said, "I heard it from Fairy Aunt! Knowing that you were going back to Beijing, Fairy Aunt specially asked people to come back to the palace to tell you that you must prepare good wine."
Han Zongjing's eye circles suddenly turned red, "The last time we drank, we stole the wine that Taizu buried under the roots of flowers. Your father looked out and encouraged me to dig in. But I was caught by my third uncle.
You kicked me several times, and your father ran away and disappeared. Taizu heard about it and asked people to dig out the wine and bring it to us... That night, we drank all night long, and I was drunk for three days.
When I woke up, I had been taken far away from the capital by my servants... At that time, I thought that when I returned to the capital in the future, I would definitely have to get drunk. But who knew that farewell would be forever?
.”
"Uncle, sit down!" The fourth master looked sad, "If father can see you healthy, he will be happy in his heart."
Han Zongjing calmed down his expression, and then said: "Your Highness, don't be afraid! No matter what others say, your Highness is a very suitable prince in my opinion. When it comes to orthodoxy, Your Highness deserves it. If Your Highness has any mission in the future, you can
Just tell me, I will do whatever you want to do even to the death."
I very much support Donggong’s attitude.
After Tongtong and others left, he went in and asked Fourth Master, "How was it?"
Fourth Master smiled and said, "A very shrewd person." Shrewd!
Being smart is good.
This time, the prince's change of son will have to be announced.
In the center of public opinion, when everyone was discussing the two princes' palaces, a decree suddenly came, saying that the heir apparent was to be changed.
Why? As a result of this inquiry, everyone knew that the relationship was due to the crown prince having an extramarital affair.
"That's why?"
"Yes! It's so unfair! The crown prince of the palace is Empress E, so what? After giving birth to a child, it's just a concubine!"
"It's still the way Taizu refused to accept the concubine and give birth to a child."
"But that one...if Taizu had heirs, there would be fewer troubles."
Someone immediately asked: "If the prince has two colors, he will not be the prince. If so many officials take concubines, wouldn't it be necessary to see how many women are in the family when promoting officials? Isn't this absurd?"
Yes! Ridiculous.
So, very suddenly, the Ministry of Rites made an announcement: requesting that the crown prince be given a concubine.
The emperor has concubines, so how can the prince not have concubines?
Emperor Wen Zhao took it and ignored it. As a result, they not only gave him a discount, but also gave a discount to the East Palace: For the sake of the world and the world's inheritance, the prince should spread his wings.
The fourth master glanced at the book and handed it all to Shi Jian: "Send it to the concubine."
Some people just don't want to live the good life anymore and have forgotten that she was once the number one playboy in the capital!
