Taifu Wei, Xiaoyao Gong, and Chu Shoufu all sat on the Taishi chair and looked at them together.
Emperor Ming Yuan sat in the middle with a solemn expression.
After the three people came forward and knelt down to worship, they were also arranged to take their seats one by one.
When Yu Wenhao saw this battle, he understood a little bit and his expression changed, but he still suppressed his silence in the end.
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "I won't go into details about what happened in the palace in the past few days. Everyone knows that it is a relatively serious time for the Northern Tang Dynasty. This year, I will vigorously promote commerce and promote cooperation with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
We, the Northern Tang Dynasty, will not be able to withstand the torment in the next three to five years, so the position of the prince cannot be shaken, and the country must be stable, so that there will be no disputes in the former dynasty and the harem."
When he spoke, his voice was full of helplessness and exhaustion. Only six or seven days had passed from the first day of the new year to now. He looked much older and his temples were stained with hoarfrost.
He really worked his heart out for this country.
"However," Emperor Ming Yuan continued: "If the prince's biological mother loses his virtue and the virtuous concubine fails, the crown prince's position will be controversial. To establish the crown prince in the Northern Tang Dynasty, it is necessary for the prince's biological mother to be pure, virtuous, and of noble character, so as to ensure that the harem will not affect the former dynasty in the future, and the foreign relatives will not
The government is in chaos, and the prince's biological mother, the virtuous concubine, has behaved immorally and violated human ethics. She cannot act as a mother to the world and set an example for the world's mothers. It is said that the emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I am determined to investigate the crimes committed by the virtuous concubine.
No one is allowed to ask for mercy, and asking for mercy will be punished with the same crime."
When Emperor Ming Yuan said this, he glanced at Yu Wenhao and Yu Wenling. Seeing that both of them lowered their heads and said nothing, he continued: "But, I just said that the Northern Tang Dynasty cannot depose the prince. I and Li Li are ministers."
The business council has discussed that Concubine De has no children, so the prince and the princess will adopt Concubine De. From now on, Concubine De will be promoted to the imperial concubine and assume the power of deputy empress!"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Wenhao and the others suddenly raised their heads, and even Concubine De was so shocked that she almost fell off her chair.
They all looked at Emperor Ming Yuan together, saying that you are not joking, is this true?
Yu Wenhao felt very complicated. It wasn't that he didn't love Concubine De, but since he was an adult and his biological mother was still there, he wanted to adopt Concubine De. Wouldn't it be...
He didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment, he just felt sadness pouring out from the bottom of his heart.
When Emperor Ming Yuan saw that Yu Wenhao and Concubine De were both silent, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "My decision has been made and there is no room for objection."
Concubine De knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Back to the emperor, how can I, my concubine, be the mother of the prince?"
"You don't want to?" Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Concubine De and asked.
Concubine De shook her head, her eyelashes soaked with tears, and said softly: "I would never dream of having such a blessing."
"Prince is unwilling?" Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Yu Wenhao with cold eyes.
Yu Wenhao felt that he couldn't hold a breath in his chest. He looked at Concubine De with difficulty. Concubine De also looked at him, with indescribable complexity in her eyes. But Yu Wenhao could see that he had expectations, but she didn't dare.
Express this expectation.
He looked at Yuan Qingling, and Yuan Qingling held his hand. At this time, he had no choice but to agree, so she said softly: "The Emperor said that the overall situation is the most important thing!"
Yu Wenhao finally nodded with difficulty, "My son, I have no objection!"
Concubine De hid her face and cried.
Emperor Ming Yuan did not breathe a sigh of relief. On the contrary, his expression became more solemn and he said to the Prince in charge of the ceremony: "I'd like to trouble my uncle to revise the jade certificate."
The prince who performed the ceremony stood up and handed over his hands, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the ceremony will be carried out tonight, and I will revise it immediately when I get back."
The so-called ceremony is the ceremony of kneeling down to recognize one's mother. If it could be more grand in the past, now everything has been simplified.
