(Two hundred and forty-five) ascending to the throne
"Love... my beloved concubine..."
"Your Majesty, I am here."
The emperor, who had lost his human form, grabbed Tang Wan'er's hand, which made people feel sick.
Although Tang Wan'er also wanted to change things and wanted the emperor to follow the path of Mingjun, he was not that young and could not be a good emperor in the end.
"My beloved concubine, I...my legacy is...here..."
"It must be Yong'er. Isn't it Yong'er who will inherit the throne?"
Tang Wan'er's momentum had already frightened the sick emperor. Anyway, if it was really not her child, then the imperial edict would be invalid.
Tang Wan'er opened it and saw that the name written on the edict was actually the second prince!
If the emperor is going to pass the throne to the fourth prince, Tang Waner can accept it. After all, the fourth prince is the best among men and can manage the country well. At worst, she can take her children and Qi Ying back to Northern Hebei Kingdom, even if Fu Jianyong is thirteen
Even if he can't be a prince, he can still be a prince. Although her Yong'er's eyes are burning, he is not a small fish or shrimp, but a dragon.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Second Prince?"
The second prince is very dangerous, Tang Wan'er knows this very well. Moreover, the one who supports the second prince is the Yingming Emperor Nangong Mo, so it is not difficult to ensure that Qingyang Kingdom will be controlled by Jibei Kingdom one day. Of course, the second prince is not an easy to control chess piece
, maybe he thinks the same as Nangong Mo.
But Tang Wan'er doesn't think it can be used as a joke. For the sake of the overall situation, the second prince cannot be allowed to be crowned the great treasure.
"Xiao Shunzi, go get the pen."
Tang Wan'er directly asked the eunuch to bring the pen and ink in front of the immobile emperor, and changed "Second Prince" to "Thirteenth Prince" without hesitation.
"You...what are you doing!"
The emperor was so angry that he stood up from the bed, but fell aside.
"I personally don't have any dislike for the second prince. I think this man is a bit elusive. He is more likely to become a tyrant than a wise king. He has great ambitions because he is so good at hiding and being patient. I don't deny that, maybe in
Under his governance, the Qing Kingdom can prosper, but it can also turn the Qing Kingdom into a militaristic state. Sooner or later, the war with the Northern Hebei Kingdom will be over. I am very uneasy. It was the 'Millennium Eye' that informed me of such consequences. Therefore,
I changed your mind for the sake of the Qing Kingdom. Emperor, you are not qualified to be this emperor. Since this is the case in this life, you should live a good and valuable life in the next life."
Tang Wan'er looked at the old man with eyes that contained both pity and contempt. She no longer had any hatred for him and had nothing to care about.
In October of the tenth year of Yu De, the emperor passed away. In January of the next year, Fu Jianyong, who was only five years old, came to the throne. He honored Tang Wan'er as the empress dowager of the East Palace and acted as regent. At the same time, Chu Jieyu was canonized as the empress dowager of the West Palace. Chu Jieyu
She declined to become a monk and kept her filial piety to the emperor. Tang Waner agreed.
The fourth prince and King Jiangling were both regents. Later, the fourth prince resigned to accompany his mother and no longer cared about the affairs of the court.
Many years later, when Chu Jieyu passed away, the four princes left Qingyang Kingdom.
The old prime minister retired and returned to his hometown. Finally, Li Shu became the new prime minister as a doctor under the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He jumped three levels in a row and was promoted in an unusual way.
Although there were objections from the ministers, Zhong Lishu was worthy of being called a strategist, and this matter was quickly resolved. He became Tang Wan'er's most powerful assistant later when she was in power.
In the third year of Wu Yuan's reign, at the beginning of the third year after the Thirteenth Prince ascended the throne, he was attacked by an unknown person and was seriously injured. He was in a coma and was dying. Wu Qingxi judged that he needed to rest in Wuwang Mountain before he could be saved.
In order to save her beloved son's life, Tang Wan'er left the Thirteenth Prince to Wu Qingxi's care, hoping that Wuwang Mountain, a paradise, could help the Thirteenth Prince recover.
Therefore, in this case, those ministers would not give up and let the royal children they supported lose this good opportunity.
When the ministers wanted to establish a new emperor, Taoist priests from Tianchong Mountain came to explain the status of the Holy Lord. The people also began to build momentum.
What to say, "There is a new girl in the west, bleeding with royal blood, dancing the Wan Yue Dance, wearing a glazed stone"... And the Wan Yue Dance is a kind of folk dance performed when the moon falls into the Huanshui River.
The characteristic dance of the Huanwan Kingdom in the Western Regions, and glazed stone is also an important product of the region.
As for royal blood, it refers to the blood flowing from the princess of Huanwan Kingdom in the Western Regions.
These words obviously refer to Tang Wan'er.
This little trick is not difficult and can be done with just some money.
Coupled with Tang Wan'er's capital news network based in Xiande Building, she can quickly grasp the dynamics of various forces in the capital.
Tang Wan'er saw the opportunity, and in order to keep her child's throne, she complied with the situation and ascended the throne as Emperor Yanshuo, known as the Empress of Yan in history. She reigned for eight years. Eight years later, the thirteenth prince returned to the dynasty and resumed the throne. The empress returned to the throne.
Become the Queen Mother.
During the reign of the empress, the politics were clear and the country was full of vitality. The farmland system and the selection system were also greatly reformed, and cruel officials were punished. Officials who broke the law and committed crimes were severely punished.
Promote the popularity of junior high schools across the country. Allow women to remarry and improve the practice of selling daughters. Girls are also allowed to go to school.
Although not every item has outstanding results, it has a great effect on changing the national atmosphere.
It has been discussed and described as the second "merger country", although this comparison is somewhat unfair to the Qing Kingdom.
One year later, the emperor took office. The next year, the empress disappeared. Some said she went to the Northern Hebei Kingdom, some said she went to the Shibian Kingdom, and some thought the empress had died.
That quiet place on the outskirts of Beijing.
"I still remember that you were attacked near here. Only then did I know that there were artifacts and Yama."
Tang Wan'er nestled against Qi Ying's body and looked at the scenery in front of her.
"Don't you regret it? Can't I continue to be your empress dowager in the palace?"
"But, you said it yourself, the position of prince and princess is reserved for me. Don't you keep your word? You have given birth to a son."
"But Yong'er doesn't recognize me, which is a bit regretful."
"Yong'er has only just taken charge, and things are quite busy. You are not in a hurry, right?"
"Speaking of which, aren't you worried if you leave Yong'er alone like this?"
Tang Wan'er smiled: "I have made arrangements a long time ago. With Zhong Lishu in charge of the overall situation, and all the confidants in the court being trained by me, there won't be any big problems. Besides, if you can't do such a small thing, it's still you.
My child?"
"Okay, okay, I can't help you."
Qi Ying hugged Tang Wan'er tightly, remembering the past vividly. A few days later, they set off for the Northern Hebei Kingdom.
Back then, in the third year after Tang Wan'er ascended the throne and became the empress, they finally discovered that Suzaku was controlled by Yama. In that long-lasting battle, the Yama organization was destroyed, and the painting saint Wu Liangzi himself was seriously injured and died, but no one
Saw his body.
Tang Wan'er decided to go somewhere on her way back to Northern Hebei. She heard that the paintings painted by strange people would become real.
"Let's go, Fang Xiang, there are still many things waiting for us to do."
"Um."
The carriage drove into the distance under the setting sun, and the adventure belonging to Tang Waner and Qi Ying was far from over.
