Xuanyuan Mingfeng saw that the situation in the palace was basically stable outside. After helping Yuchi Lingyue deal with the rebel guards, he led the Yin family army and the secret guards of Prince Shan's palace back quietly, and went outside the imperial capital to help the private soldiers.
The army that encircled and suppressed the Huazhou Dynasty.
It was a sleepless night.
Because all parties responded in a timely manner, Xuanyuan Mingjing's hasty rebellion was not fully prepared, and his alliance with the princess of the Huazhou Dynasty was unstable, exposing many flaws, leaving everyone in danger.
After capturing Xuanyuan Mingjing, Yuchi Lingyue called for an imperial doctor.
At the same time, the emperor and celebrities in the capital called all the civil and military officials in the capital, as well as the executioner, overnight.
Xuanyuan Mingjing was escorted by Eagle Eye's guards, while Yuchi Lingyue and Yuchi Weiran supported Emperor Dajing and Xuanyuan Mingzhao to the brightly lit Qinzheng Hall.
Civil and military officials arrived one after another.
Most of the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital arrived and bandaged the Dajing Emperor and Xuanyuan Mingzhao respectively.
The Emperor Dajing had many wounds on his body, the shoulders and the pierced palms were the most serious. He was bleeding profusely, and the imperial doctor tried his best to ask him to rest. He was even guessing as to why the Emperor Dajing was holding on until he fell down.
.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao's body was full of old wounds that had collapsed. There were no new wounds. He just needed to apply medicine and bandages again.
Before all the civil and military officials had arrived, behind the screen of Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Dajing said to Xuanyuan Mingzhao: "Old Liu, if I pass the throne to you, do you dare to take it?"
Xuanyuan Mingzhao was startled for a moment, lifted up his clothes and knelt down: "My son, I should do my best to benefit the capital."
Next to them, Yuchi Lingyue and Yuchi Weiran were silent, but the imperial doctor who applied the medicine shivered with fright, causing the Emperor of Beijing to gasp in pain.
Emperor Dajing shook his head: "Get up. Don't be nervous. In fact... Qi'er chose you many years ago."
Xuanyuan Mingzhao raised his eyes and looked at the Dajing Emperor in confusion.
The Emperor of Dajing explained: "Qi'er knew that he was in poor health and felt very guilty for occupying the crown prince's position. He often worried about me and the country of Dajing. He told me that his sixth brother was worthy of the great responsibility.
If it weren't for him, the crown prince position would be yours... However, my selfishness is that I don't want anyone to sit on his crown prince position. I only want the prince in my eyes to always be him, so I haven't expressed my position for a long time.
Can you blame me?" It was precisely for this reason that he turned a blind eye to Xuanyuan Mingzhao's private soldiers.
In his eyes, the country of Dajing belongs to Xuanyuan Mingzhao sooner or later. Moreover, after Xuanyuan Mingqi's death, he had no thought of life and only wanted to die.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao really didn't know that there was such a thing.
He shook his head: "I don't dare."
Emperor Dajing coughed a few times and said again: "I have only one request, and I hope you can agree to it."
"Father, please speak."
The Emperor of Dajing didn't know what he thought of, his eyes were distant, and he said slowly: "After I leave, bury me and Qi'er together..."
Xuanyuan Mingzhao was silent for a moment and nodded: "I obey the decree." If it had been before tonight, if the Emperor of Dajing had not said it before, he and Xuanyuan Mingqi had already agreed that Xuanyuan Mingzhao would take over the throne of Dajing, Xuanyuan Mingzhao might have
He would not agree to the request of Emperor Dajing. He might even give Emperor Dajing a severe blow after learning that he could succeed to the throne, and tell Emperor Dajing his anger and resentment over the years.
But now, he doesn't want to do that.
When he just learned that Xuanyuan Mingqi was poisoned to death by Xuanyuan Mingjing, the crazy look of Emperor Dajing shocked him.
His father was also a caring person, but that heart did not lie with his mother and concubine, nor with him. He couldn't blame his father, and his mother and concubine were lucky to have him and Xuanyuan Mingfeng.
And he, with Xuanyuan Mingfeng, Sikong Qingying, and the current throne, is satisfied.
He had no regrets, so he just wanted to give his father a happy ending.
Later, all the civil and military officials of the capital arrived.
Emperor Dajing and Xuanyuan Mingzhao came out of the screen together.
The Emperor of Dajing handed the jade seal to Xuanyuan Mingzhao in front of all civil and military officials, and gave way to Xuanyuan Mingzhao.
Then he ordered the executioner to go forward and execute the third prince Xuanyuan Mingjing Lingchi who had committed patricide and rebellion in front of all the civil and military officials, as a warning to others.
The bloody scene in court once became a nightmare for all civil and military officials.
However, when the third prince was still suffering from the torture of Lingchi and was not dying, the Emperor of Dajing took the first step... and died.
……………………
After the death of the emperor of Beijing, the whole country mourned, and the whole people practiced vegetarianism, banning music and weddings for sixty days.
The sixth prince Xuanyuan Mingzhao succeeded to the throne, and the enthronement ceremony was held after the national funeral.
Nowadays, the Dajing Emperor remains in mourning in his palace for seven days. After seven days, he is transferred to the imperial mausoleum and buried.
Before the death of Emperor Dajing, all the princes had titles, except the seventh prince. After Xuanyuan Mingzhao ascended the throne, he named the seventh prince Xiaoyao King and lived with him in the palace.
Because the two were twin brothers and the seventh prince had mental problems, everyone in the capital turned a blind eye to this matter.
As for the sixth prince's only previous concubine, it would have been good to have a concubine, but because he is pregnant with the eldest son of the current emperor, it is expected that the tide will rise and he will gain a distinguished status.
Many ministers guessed that she might be a noble concubine.
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Mingzhao actually asked everyone to treat Sikong Qingying with the courtesy of an imperial concubine.
Sikong Qingying was also shocked by this.
She never thought of staying with Xuanyuan Mingzhao for the rest of her life, let alone the imperial concubine, even if she was the queen, she would not want to. If she really became the imperial concubine, I am afraid she would not be able to leave the Dajing Palace.
She really wanted to talk to Xuanyuan Mingzhao about this matter, but Xuanyuan Mingzhao had just ascended the throne recently and was very busy. Although she and Xuanyuan Mingzhao still lived together because of Xuanyuan Mingzhao's insistence, the time they met was not
rare.
There is no time to talk about it.
After becoming the emperor, Xuanyuan Mingzhao was obviously even busier. Not only Xuanyuan Mingzhao, but also Xuanyuan Mingfeng became busy.
Being an emperor is far from being as simple as it seems.
Whether it is civil and military officials or officials of various states and counties, who belongs to which faction and what background they have, they can all know it as quickly as possible.
He also gave positions to several other princes as appropriate and reduced their powers to fiefdoms. However, what was unexpected was that he actually gave his previous position, that of Minister of Dali Temple, to the minister who only loved serving in the dynasty.
Huacao, the fifth prince who has no interest in political affairs, was rejected by the fifth prince.
Of course, now that Xuanyuan Mingzhao is the emperor, he cannot refuse just because someone else says it. The fifth prince is unwilling, but Xuanyuan Mingzhao asks him to do it, and he still has to do it.
In addition, there are also the concubines of the late emperor.
Fortunately, those who are not lucky can be sent back to their place of origin directly.
Those who are lucky enough to have no children and have a backing can choose to stay in the palace to grow old or become a nun. Those who have a son are best, and they can leave the palace to live with their son directly.
These are not problems. The problem is those who stay in the palace, have backstage, and are restless. Most of these are headed by the Queen Mother.
The mother-in-law of two brothers, Xuanyuan Mingzhao and Xuanyuan Mingfeng, was tortured to death by the Queen Mother. They both hated the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother always felt that Xuanyuan Mingzhao wanted to harm her, so she was startled and the atmosphere in the palace was very tense.
Disharmonious.
Not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, Sikong Qingying received another letter from Bai Yuanjun.
Bai Yuanjun asked her if she was with the current emperor. If so, he hoped that she could leave the palace and return to her hometown in Jizhou.
From her brother's assassination of the late emperor, Sikong Qingying knew that there must be some grudge between their family and the Xuanyuan family of the royal family of Dajing. It was no wonder that Bai Yuanjun wrote to tell her so.
Seven days later, after the late emperor entered the imperial mausoleum and was buried, Xuanyuan Mingzhao did not have to deal with government affairs and watch the funeral, and he was really free.
Sikong Qingying was able to see her: "Sixth Master... Well, Your Majesty, you were seriously injured before, and you have been so tired recently. You must take care of your health."
Xuanyuan Mingzhao has obviously lost some weight, but he looks very energetic.
He was already very elegant and noble, but after putting on that dragon robe, he gained even more aloof and inviolable majesty.
His cold face is very similar to that of the late emperor, he is powerful without anger, and he is calm and collected in situations. Even his former political opponents have to admit that he has done a good job.
Ever since he ascended the throne, some of his former political opponents have opposed him, and in just a few days, that kind of opposition has become less and less.
"It doesn't matter, Xiao Qi found the elixir, and the wound has already become scarred. I have martial arts skills, so there is no serious problem. But you?"
The baby in Sikong Qingying's belly was nearly five months old, but it was very big, so big that it was shocking.
When Xuanyuan Mingzhao was in Prince Shan's Mansion, he said that he would find an imperial doctor to look at her, but who would have thought that it would be delayed until now.
"I... I am very good. Thank you for your concern. However, I have something to discuss with the Emperor. I wonder if the Emperor has time?"
Xuanyuan Mingzhao, who became emperor, gave people an unattainable sense of superiority. Sikong Qingying, who could talk to him casually in the past, no longer dared to offend easily.
Although it is just a change of position, people's hearts are unpredictable. If you sail with caution, Sikong Qingying will never forget the saying, "Being with the king is like being with the tiger."
Perhaps this is the only unfortunate thing about Xuanyuan Mingzhao becoming emperor...it is too cold to be high.
However, Xuanyuan Mingfeng accompanied him, and at the same time, Xuanyuan Mingzhao was extremely lucky.
"It's rare for Xiaoying to ask for anything, so naturally I will grant it."
After Xuanyuan Mingzhao finished speaking, he raised his voice and said, "Come here, summon the imperial physician."
Taking advantage of this time, he also asked the imperial physician to take a look at Sikong Qingying.
After saying that, he ignored the surprised looks of the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs, and stretched out his hands to help Sikong Qingying walk into the palace: "I am very busy these days. You should be careful. It is best not to come out when you are alone. I will wait for a while.
Tell King Xiaoyao to spend more time with you."
King Xiaoyao is the seventh prince Xuanyuan Mingfeng.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao had just ascended the throne. Although the guards in the palace had been changed, the manpower in Prince Shan's palace was limited and could only take care of them. There were also many eunuchs and maids in the palace who were not his. These would be discovered later.
Replace it.
He was afraid that those people would do something to hurt Sikong Qingying.
Sikong Qingying nodded, Xuanyuan Mingzhao was very good to her, really very good. This person, if not the emperor, was very good as a close friend.
After arriving in the palace, Xuanyuan Mingzhao helped Sikong Qingying sit down and then said: "By the way, Xiaoying, don't you have something to tell me? What is it?"
Sikong Qingying bit her lower lip: "Two things. Before I talk about these two things, I would like to ask the emperor to forgive me and concubine."
For some reason, Xuanyuan Mingzhao didn't like it when he heard Sikong Qingying calling herself his concubine.
"It doesn't matter, I will forgive you. Just say it... By the way, I once said that I allow you to use 'I' in front of me." Xuanyuan Mingzhao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and he was in a good mood to remind Sikong Qing.
film.
Sikong Qingying's eyes lit up when he heard this. It seemed that Xuanyuan Mingzhao had not changed much.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to send someone to the border after the situation in Dajing is stabilized."
Sikong Qingying said while looking at Xuanyuan Mingzhao cautiously.
Although Yin Ziheng died, Sikong Qingying was still a little unwilling to not see Yin Ziheng for the last time. Now, Xuanyuan Mingzhao became the emperor. Even if she could not see Yin Ziheng for the last time, she still hoped to persuade Xuanyuan Mingzhao to avenge Yin Ziheng.
.
First of all, Yin Ziheng died while investigating the situation on the border. Since Yin Ziheng was killed, it means that there have been changes in the border. Xuanyuan Mingzhao, as the emperor of Beijing, must pay attention to this matter.
Secondly, Yin Ziheng died for the entire capital. He and the Yin family had selflessly dedicated themselves to the capital for so many years. Moreover, Yin Ziheng was also a friend of Xuanyuan Mingzhao.
In both public and private matters, in terms of emotion and reason, Xuanyuan Mingzhao should not have ignored Yin Ziheng's death.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao did not expect that Sikong Qingying would talk about Yin Ziheng, so the smile on his lips became weaker.
Sikong Qingying...can't he forget his love for Yin Ziheng after all?
She is obviously his person, why do you want to think about someone else in your heart?
Could it be that the living can never compete with the dead?
Xuanyuan Mingzhao's mood became gloomy, and his eyes became more unfathomable. He stared straight at Sikong Qingying, which made Sikong Qingying feel a little uneasy. Then he slowly said:
"Of course, the border is the first line of defense for the capital of Beijing. It is very important. Don't worry, I have already sent people to investigate the cause of General Yin's death."
Sikong Qingying breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became more relaxed.
She thought that Xuanyuan Mingzhao didn't like him mentioning this matter, so she had been hesitating before... After all, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Even if this matter was correct, she should not have brought it up. She originally thought that it would make Xuanyuan
Ming Zhao was unhappy, but now it seemed that she was overthinking it.
"Don't Xiaoying have two things to tell me? What is the second thing?"
Xuanyuan Mingzhao's friendly attitude made Sikong Qingying relax a lot, and he became even more careless when talking about the second thing: "I want to ask the emperor to take back his life."
"Um?"
Xuanyuan Mingzhao didn't know what Sikong Qingying was talking about.
Sikong Qingying lowered his head: "It's just... that I was asked to be the imperial concubine. I, I am not worthy of it. Not to mention that I am supposed to be a member of the Yin family. As far as my background is concerned, I am just an ordinary businessman."
How can our family be worthy of such a noble status as an imperial concubine?"
Xuanyuan Mingzhao's whole body suddenly felt cold, and he frowned: "Is this an excuse?"
Seeing Sikong Qingying's head lowering lower and lower, he felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart: "Or do you want to be the queen?" He knew clearly what kind of person Sikong Qingying was, but he couldn't help but ask this question.
Sikong Qingying looked up in shock: "No...how could it be? I just..."
Unexpectedly, Sikong Qingying was only halfway through her words when Xuanyuan Mingzhao raised his hand to interrupt her: "As long as you don't leave me no matter what happens, even if you become the queen, what's wrong with it?" There was something in his words, because
Tell Sikong Qingying about him and Xuanyuan Mingfeng, and get a vaccination.
However, even the rear position was not what Sikong Qingying wanted.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Mingzhao actually said such words, Sikong Qingying was surprised and uneasy.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao could actually promise her the throne?
"Your Majesty, please don't say this again in the future. The queen of Dajing should be a woman of noble birth, dignified and virtuous, a model mother of a country, and a woman who can be a mother to the world, not a woman like me...my kind..."
No matter how much Sikong Qingying depreciated herself, she could not say the unpleasant words said about her in the market rumors.
As a person from modern times, she really has no interest in the posthumous position. Apart from depreciating herself and rejecting Xuanyuan Mingzhao's kindness, she really doesn't know what reason to find.
If Xuanyuan Mingzhao knew that she wanted to leave, then Xuanyuan Mingzhao would definitely be furious, which would be very detrimental to her future departure.
So, now I can only drag it.
Use various reasons to give in.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao reached out and grabbed Sikong Qingying's wrist, and pulled Sikong Qingying into his arms. After letting Sikong Qingying sit in his arms, he reached out and stroked Sikong Qingying's bulging belly, "
After the death of the late emperor, there will be six months of national mourning. My enthronement ceremony and your conferment ceremony will be after six months. By then, this little guy will be born, and I won’t be afraid that your clothes, Fengguan Xiapei, will not suit you."
As he spoke, it seemed that he had already confirmed the fact that Sikong Qingying would be the queen.
Fengguanxiapei?
Is she really going to marry for the third time?
She really married higher and higher, first marrying the richest man in the capital, then marrying the general's brother, the patron saint of the capital, and finally, simply marrying the current emperor?
Although it was an unintentional move, in the eyes of others, everyone must have thought that she was trying to climb up by stepping on the low, using Yuchi Weiran and Yin Zili and Yin Ziheng in front of her as a stepping stone.
The person she is marrying now is the emperor, and she has been promised the throne. Her status cannot be improved in the future...unless, one day, she will ascend the throne?
This idea was so funny that it made Sikong Qingying's gloomy mood feel better. She couldn't help but smile and shook her head, but she didn't know that things in the world are unpredictable, and she might actually become the emperor in the near future.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao saw her laughing and couldn't help but wonder: "What's so funny? Why don't you tell me and make me laugh too?"
Sikong Qingying was startled for a moment: "Uh...it's nothing. I just thought about the child in my belly and thought that when he was born, he must be like a little monkey and very funny, so I laughed." Anyway, Xuanyuan is now far away.
There are still six months after the sealing of Ming Zhao. Maybe other changes will happen during these six months. The boat will naturally straighten up when it reaches the bridge. She is pregnant now, so she can't think too hard, so she should relax first.
.
After hearing what she said, Xuanyuan Mingzhao also pursed his lips and smiled. He grabbed a strand of Sikong Qingying's long dark hair and sniffed it at the tip of his nose. The woman's unique fragrance made him feel commotion, and he hugged her tightly.
Holding Sikong Qingying's arm, she whispered in Sikong Qingying's ear with a slightly hoarse voice: "After this child is born, you can also have a child for me."
Xuanyuan Mingzhao's body honestly reflected his thoughts. The sharp sword between his legs hardened when his heart moved, and it went straight against Sikong Qingying, who was held in his arms.
Coupled with what he said, Sikong Qingying's face was suddenly stained with a thin layer of red clouds. She pursed her lips and muttered: "We will talk about the future... we will talk about it later..."
Xuanyuan Mingzhao has been busy with various things since he ascended the throne, and his spirit is also very tense. It is rare for him to have free time today, and he is in a good mood. He is in the mood to tease Sikong Qingying. He is so thick-skinned that he pretends that he does not know his own body. The reaction was the same, his face still looked like a gentleman, but his hands went into Sikong Qingying's clothes.
"Look at you, you were so brave when you sent the golden bow and arrows to the late emperor, and you were so courageous when you went to the other village overnight to find private soldiers. How come you are so timid at this time? The joy of fish and water, the heirs and descendants, the ability It's a common thing that everyone has to face, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
Sikong Qingying was poked at the weak point of his shamelessness and glared at him, how could this ancient man be so cool?
This made her, a modern person, feel embarrassed.
In fact, in the final analysis, this is still a matter of thick skin.
While the two were talking, Eunuch Xu shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Doctor Wang wants to see you."
This Eunuch Xu is now Xuanyuan Mingzhao's personal eunuch, who was also the former general manager of Prince Shan's palace.
He was lucky enough to stay in the villa for such a long time. As a result, before Xuanyuan Mingzhao came to the throne, Eunuch De made a mistake and was driven to the villa. However, he effortlessly became a popular figure in front of the current emperor.
Speaking of this, we have to say that there can only be one emperor among the men in the palace. Of course, Xiaoyao Wang Xuanyuan Mingfeng is an exception, so Shuqi and Zhenyingwei Zero Zero and Fake Fu want to take personal care of Sikong Qingying , I can only purify myself and become a eunuch.
Sikong Qingying absolutely did not want this kind of thing to happen to Shuqi and Shadow Guard Linglingyi, so she refused to take personal care of them and only asked Xuanyuan Mingzhao to take care of them when they entered the palace. Incorporated into the bodyguard.
"Xuan."
The soft light in Xuanyuan Mingzhao's eyes faded, and his eyes like deep pools became unfathomable again.
Sikong Qingying grabbed his hand from her body and threw it away, struggled out of his arms, blushed and straightened her robe, and then sat down opposite Xuanyuan Mingzhao pretending to be nonchalant.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao changed his posture and covered the reacting Nie Gen under his body.
Although he didn't mind that Sikong Qingying knew the desires in his heart, he really wanted everyone to know that he, the emperor, was in love all day long.
But for a moment, he returned to the new emperor who was expressionless, noble and majestic.
Doctor Wang was an old acquaintance of Sikong Qingying and Xuanyuan Mingzhao. He also knew why he was invited to the palace. He bowed to Xuanyuan Mingzhao and Sikong Qingying, and then took Sikong Qingying's pulse.
In fact, when he looked at Sikong Qingying's belly before taking his pulse, he frowned.
