Emperor Lin Chengyun 'died' of illness in Zhengyang Palace. Prince Lin Pingzhang woke up, wore a yellow robe and ascended the throne as emperor.
But what Lin Yutong didn't expect was that Lin Pingzhang gave Emperor Xuanping the posthumous title of "Yang".
What is ‘Yang’?
There are words in the posthumous law: Those who are good at being far away from home are called Yang, those who are far away from others are called Yang, those who go against the will of heaven and abuse the people are called Yang, those who are fond of great and unruly politics are called Yang, those who are ruthless and unrighteous are called Yang, and those who are unruly and desolate are called Yang.
For example: Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was given the posthumous title ‘Yang’ after he was replaced by the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, it was not only Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who received this posthumous title, but also Donghun Hou of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Empress Chen, King Yu Wenxian of Qi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Duke Yang of Lu, Duke Yang of Song, King Hailing, etc. all received this posthumous title after their deaths.
.It’s just that Yang Guang is the most famous.
Lin Pingzhang was a filial son, which was known throughout the court.
But this filial son, in his first edict, gave his father such a posthumous title.
Everyone pays attention to mourning and honor after death, but Emperor Xuanping did not get any. The face he wanted was completely deprived by his son after his death.
The late emperor died and his soul rested in Wuji Palace, where he spent half his life.
In fact, Wuji Palace is not a complete building, and its appearance is far from as beautiful as imagined.
What really cost a huge amount of money is the underground palaces one after another.
Now, all the entrances and exits of the underground palaces and secret passages have been poured with molten iron and blocked.
The late emperor's beloved Wuji Palace, he was only qualified to rest here for seventy-seven forty-nine days.
The standard of national mourning is still there, with the female relatives crying, but none of the women in the harem, except the queen, are there.
Originally there were only a few people in the harem, but in fact the only ones left were Concubine Chen and Concubine Li.
Concubine Chen did not play a good role in this, so the queen sent her to Huangjue Temple to become a monk. In Huangjue Temple, there were either royal widows or women from wealthy families who had made mistakes. The rules there were strict, and Tian had to be on his own
You have to grow, pound and cook the rice yourself. Even the clothes on your body and the shoes on your feet have to be made by yourself. Once you enter here, you can never go out or see anyone outside.
This was the most severe punishment for Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen once cried and begged that she could become a monk and was willing to go to Changchun to accompany the Taoist Master Taichu.
The queen then said: "There will be no more Taichu Zhenren in the future."
Taichu Zhenren returned to secular life, became the eldest princess of Anqing, and was given a marriage to the King of the West Sea, Hao Yuanzi. After the funeral of the late emperor, he would go all the way south, and then be escorted by the navy to Yueren Island, which is separated by a river from the West Sea.
This was something that Fourth Master and Lin Yutong had discussed before.
One can imagine how angry the real King of the West Sea was when he heard the news. The eldest son of the regent has been appointed king. Is this to split the West Sea? Or to sow discord between the King of the West Sea and the regent? It was getting worse day by day.
The grown-up King Xihai was very dissatisfied with the regent. Now, this is not the perfect opportunity to use the situation. There is only one authority, so how can you not fight for it? There are two parties and three parties. If there is no chaos, there will be chaos.
There is nothing so-called noble or dirty in this. As long as it is in the interests of others, there is no problem.
In other words, supporting Hao Yuanzi and stirring up the political situation in Xihai is the cheapest way.
As for worrying about Princess Anqing disrupting the situation because of Concubine Chen, this is a risk that does not exist at all. Hao Yuanzi is not an ordinary person. Otherwise, how could Anqing's child disappear so cleanly? Maybe the love is real.
Yes, but for him, power is incomparable to anything.
He knew very well that if he wanted to gain a foothold and go further, he could not do without Nan Jing's support.
On the contrary, Concubine Chen, after learning about this, was silent for a long time, and only asked: "Before Anqing leaves the capital, please send me to the Yuquan Temple in Xishan." The scenery there is quiet, and the cold wind in winter cannot blow in, and the cold wind in summer cannot blow in.
The towering trees are shady and comfortable. The spring water on the mountain is said to be the holy spring water. The water used by the master of the palace is transported from the Western Mountain every day. She wants to stay there temporarily because she doesn’t want Princess Anqing to leave. She knows it very well.
, really left Dajing, Anqing could only rely on Dajing. She didn't want Anqing to leave with a grudge.
The queen agreed to her, and now, instead of keeping filial piety to the emperor, she just went to Yuquan Temple in Xishan to rest and recuperate on the grounds of excessive grief. The people who served her were all sent by Aunt Qiu, and they were not worried about her causing any trouble.
As for Concubine Li, her injuries have never healed. When the emperor died, her energy and energy seemed to have been drained. On the first day, she was asked to enter the mourning hall. But the royal weeping spirit was very particular.
.There are certain things about when to cry, when to stop, when to kneel, and when to get up. However, Concubine Li's sadness may be sincere. She couldn't restrain herself from crying, while talking about her love for the emperor.
Love, while crying and wanting to touch the coffin. This woman has wanted to imitate others all her life and want to be that woman, but she is not that woman after all. She wants the emotions of this man lying in the coffin, burned beyond recognition.
, It's a pity, how can this man have such a pure thing? At this moment, this woman collapsed. Love is separated, and she cannot ask for it. This is her whole life.
In the royal family, her mourning method was considered disrespectful.
After being imprisoned for a long time, the water would not stick to his teeth, the high fever would not go away, and the old injuries would relapse. There was no hope of living at all. Princess Jingle was waiting on her side, persuading and coaxing, but she didn't even hear a word.
After hearing this, she looked at Princess Jingle as if she had seen an enemy. He took the hot medicine, soup and rice and poured it on Princess Jingle, "You... you... are all the children of that bitch... all of you"
She should die with her..."
Lin Pingkang saw this scene at the door, which reminded him of his childhood.
His mother changed in the blink of an eye. When no one was around, she looked at him as if she had seen something dirty. She was no longer the mother who held him and coaxed him, saying "baby" in every word.
Already.
That look, that tone, that's it.
All her cowardice and pity are all pretended to be seen by others. No one knows better than him what a disgusting face this woman has behind her.
He is not her son, and she is certainly not his mother.
He walked in and took Jingle's hand.
Princess Jingle looked at him: "Brother, mother and concubine..."
"She is not the mother-in-law." Lin Pingkang said extremely calmly, "In the mother-in-law's heart, we are the best treasures in the world."
Princess Jingle was confused and looked at Concubine Li who was lying on the bed and staring at their brothers and sisters: "She is not the mother-in-law? What about the mother-in-law?"
"I was killed by this woman." Lin Pingkang said without any guilt.
Concubine Li Jiejie smiled strangely: "Sure enough, she is the bitch born to that goblin..." She stretched out her hand and tried hard to pull Princess Jingle.
Princess Jingle stepped back repeatedly. Concubine Li's appearance was too terrifying.
One stretched out his hand to pull her, and the other tried to hide. As a result, Concubine Li fell off the bed. Jingle wanted to go forward, but Lin Pingkang grabbed her, and the two of them stood not far away from each other.
Watching the woman wearing only a middle coat lying on the ground struggling in the cold weather, watching her face getting redder and redder because of the fever, watching her slowly falling into coma, listening to her whispering "Emperor". Jing
Le squatted on the ground, his head buried in his knees. Lin Pingzhang stood aside, neither sitting nor moving. It was not until the next morning, when Jingle suddenly sat up, that he realized something was wrong.
This woman, whom he had called his concubine for more than ten years, was lying on the couch. She looked well-groomed and covered with a quilt, but her face had long since lost its life.
"Brother!" she yelled in horror.
Lin Pingkang's tone was calm: "I've called someone to report it. My mother-in-law was so sad that she died of her injuries and passed away."
The queen's solution to this problem was to take the emperor away with him when he transferred his spirit. The body of Concubine Hua Gui, who had been in the underground palace, should be accompanied by Emperor Daxing.
The funeral must be held, but how dare the government to slack off for a day?
Lin Yutong said to Lin Pingzhang: "Don't be anxious, things have to be handled one by one."
But obviously, Lin Pingzhang is not the fourth master, nor is he as experienced as Lin Yutong. When he really sat in this seat, his reaction was similar to the reaction of the fourth master when he sat on the throne for the first time. He was excited at first, and then became energetic after the excitement. First he stayed up all night
, and then only one or two hours of sleep a day.
Those who deserve reward will be rewarded, and those who deserve kindness will be given grace. People will be at peace and the people will be comforted.
You have to take care of the emotions of the civilian officials and consider the movements of the military attachés.
As a result, after half a month, I was completely out of shape.
Yin Chengzhi said: "If you survive this, the world will be even more lively." When we need to maintain stability, can anything happen?
Emperor Daxing was burned beyond recognition. This matter is hard to say or not. There are all kinds of rumors outside. He never knew that Ran Geng was such a careless person.
Of course, in the long run, a living emperor may be in greater trouble. Doing this will cut through the mess quickly and neatly.
However, it was easy to get rid of the problem, and there were many sequelae.
Lin Pingzhang shook his head: "Chengzhi, I can't sleep."
"Ask Dr. Luo to prescribe some soothing medicine." Yin Chengzhi said, "If you keep going through it like this, sooner or later you will have to work it out."
Lin Pingzhang waved his hand: "That's not the reason." He sighed softly, "Being a prince is different from being an emperor. When I really sit here, I feel that the burden on my shoulders seems to weigh a thousand pounds. You always tell me to get more rest.
Wait. But are things in this world waiting? Whether it is good or bad to be a prince, there is still a layer of support on the head. No matter that person does good or bad, psychologically speaking, I know that something is really wrong.
, there is a tall person supporting it. But what about now? There is a piece of roof missing on the head. Although this roof is actually useless, there are only a few tiles to protect it from wind and rain, but I am worried that it will collapse and hit me. But.
When the cap on your head is really gone, you will find that it is empty! There is no obstacle, but your heart also becomes empty. You said, I am like this... If this burden is given to her...
Is she ready?"
Yin Chengzhi couldn't understand this feeling, but he understood it. This is just like what his father always said, when I die, who will you rely on? How will you survive? It's just like what I always worry about.
It's the same as worrying about what you will do if you leave one day and leave your son behind. Parents can't bear to worry about it, but the fact is that everyone can live well without their parents.
He said, "How about you take a rest and let her try it out." Besides, your body really needs to rest.
It's a mule or a horse. Let's take it out for a walk.
From that day on, the emperor fell ill. It was said that he was overly sad. This made people's hearts, which had gradually calmed down, begin to panic again.
Then the original grandson came out.
Why is he called the original grandson? Because the emperor has already succeeded to the throne, it stands to reason that the decree to confer the crown prince should have been issued long ago. But for some reason, the palace has not taken any action.
Just when everyone was wondering whether the crown prince's position was still in doubt, the imperial edict was issued. The emperor was ill and asked Lin Yutong to come out to supervise the country.
Lin Pingzhang's new accession to the throne belongs to the kind of person who wants to grab all the power in his hands. This is a common problem for people who have never been an emperor. After working for three years, he will understand. The emperor is really not
That's what it did.
Whoever should be in charge is in charge, and what can be reported to the cabinet should be reported to the cabinet.
As for the cabinet, when it comes to Lin Pingzhang, every detail must be reported.
Lin Yutong didn't want this at all: "I've already taken care of it, what do you want the cabinet to do? You are cabinet ministers, not those who are on duty in the imperial study room of the Hanlin Academy... It is about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. You take the salary of the cabinet ministers,
But you only do the errands of the Hanlin Academy, so can you feel at ease with the salary?"
Now there are only three left in the cabinet, Chen Qingcang, Gao Hanyuan and Zhang Shulan.
Before Yin Bofang returned to the court, Wanfangyuan died tragically again.
The remaining three people were also very nervous during this period.
Chen Qingcang won't talk about it anymore. His grudges with Dong Palace are complicated. Gao Hanyuan is from Yin Taishi's party. Zhang Shulan is said to be from the prince's party, so there is no need to be cautious. But at this time, he has to be more cautious.
.I’m afraid of getting the reputation of being ‘arrogant’.
Now the grandson opened his mouth and asked: Why do you get so much wages if you don't work?
When I first heard this, I couldn't laugh or cry, but when I came out from Taisun's place, I don't know why, my nose suddenly felt sore.
Since the higher authorities are willing to delegate power, let’s do it.
The report was reported below about the snow disaster in northern Liaoning, and the cabinet discussed the handling measures and submitted it. As long as it was marked as urgent, the instructions came down in less than half an hour. The red instructions above read: Accurate! Report to the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of Works and
The relevant department will handle it within two days.
The cooperating yamen were designated and the time was limited.
The cabinet only needs to hand over the list of required materials that are in arrears and appoint someone to receive them. It doesn't matter how you argue.
Whoever is responsible will bear the responsibility.
If you can't complete the task, go down and find someone else who can do it.
The machine of the imperial court was slowly running in, and then started to run at high speed. In the past, who held the teapot every day, who had time to drink tea? It was too slow for everyone to feel the wind under their feet. Slow down a step, maybe
It's time to give up your seat to someone else.
Don't think about intrigues or secret stumbling blocks. The guy above has bright eyes.
He is very familiar with the team in the imperial court. In his eyes, responsibility and power are things that can be seen through at a glance.
The Ministry of Personnel has been very busy recently, why? There are always some short-sighted people who try to push people up and make mistakes. This one is also ruthless. Thirty-seven officials were dismissed as soon as they were told. After they were dismissed, those who were in charge of the cabinet had to be
Recommended list. It is said that this used to be a good thing to earn money and arrange for your own people. Now, there is no such time. Because you will find out whether the people below are your own people, sometimes the meaning is not so big.
.Everything cannot escape from a rule. If it is within this rule, anyone can do it for you. If it is not within this rule, even your own people will be trembling with fear. No one wants to try that person's method. According to the rules,
The Ministry of Civil Affairs recommends officials. The Ministry of Civil Affairs sends the candidate list up, and the cabinet reviews it. After review, it is time to bring someone to have Taisun take a look at it and give it a test. Only then does it count.
But as for Lin Yutong, he didn't even see anyone. He just asked the cabinet to make the decision: "You are the ones using the people, just do as you please."
After watching this for a while, Yin Chengzhi said to Lin Pingzhang: "Everyone has his own path. Others cannot easily follow her path."
Lin Pingzhang laughed: "This requires a big heart and courage."
They always talk about sharing the world with so and so, they should really be shown what sharing the world means.
Yin Chengzhi didn't think so. He felt that this was not about sharing the world, but that she was better at controlling people and knew how to control them.
After all, the way of an emperor is the way of controlling people.
Lin Pingzhang sighed, the result of this is that even if it were him, there seemed to be not many things for him to be busy with. The more far-reaching result is, is such a crown princess who knows how to delegate power really unacceptable?
Who would have trouble with the rights in their hands?
After Emperor Daxing moved the coffin, Lin Pingzhang called Lin Yutong to speak: "The rights have been given out, and it will be difficult to take them back."
"Why is it so difficult?" Lin Yutong laughed: "Aren't the grandparents from the Yin family not back yet?"
Lin Pingzhang looked at her: "Aren't they looking for spies?"
"Of course the spies need to be investigated." Lin Yutong sat over, "But that doesn't stop me from doing another thing."
Lin Pingzhang suddenly asked: "Take back military power?"
Lin Yutong laughed: "It is not advisable to give cattle and sheep to wolves for herding. But then again, people are so far apart from each other, who knows whether we are using wolves or dogs? But whether it is a wolf or a dog, as long as we hold it in our hands
He is a magic weapon, so why are you afraid of him?"
"But how do you know that the magic weapon in your hand must obey your orders?" Jin Pingzhang raised his eyebrows and asked again.
Lin Yutong said: "So, I want to change it." In the past, there was no separation between military and political affairs. Now it must be changed!
For example, the Governor of Liangjiang is in charge of the civil and military affairs of the two provinces. It is often the case that silver taels are directly deducted from the tax bank to be used as military pay. With such interrelated interests, it is impossible for local officials and the garrison not to be involved in collusion with each other.
.
Lin Yutong's current goal is to separate the two systems in an orderly manner. The less involved the two systems are, the better. All material allocations are arranged by the imperial court.
In the past, the civil and military officials were of the same rank, and the military officials had to obey the orders of the civilian officials.
This article must be abolished.
Lin Pingzhang really smiled this time and burst into laughter. She gave the civil servants absolute autonomy and elevated the status of the military attache. She not only accomplished great things, but also won people's hearts.
So smart!
At the end of the year, generals stationed in various places submitted memorials one after another. Many of the memorials contained reports of military attachés being bullied in their military positions.
The civil and military forces are separated and each holds his own.
Lin Yutong collected all the memorials, but there was no clear edict. She was thinking that the fourth master would be back soon.
The fourth master is back. Not only is he back, but he has also brought two gentlemen from Jiangnan with him.
One is Mr. Mengliu and the other is Mr. Sanqing.
As soon as these two gentlemen arrived in the capital, the capital immediately became lively.
Originally, after the new king ascended the throne, next year would be the year of Enke. How many years have the imperial examinations been suspended?
After all, it's been nine years.
As soon as Enke opened, people from all over the country came in. Now that the two great scholars are here in person, it is really a grand event for scholars.
When a scholar is in a place, one thing that is indispensable is to criticize the ills of the times.
What's going on in the imperial court now? It's a matter of civil and military conflict.
The reason why civil and military forces quarrel is because civil and military forces have always been indifferent to each other.
As soon as the two gentlemen arrived in the capital, an article was circulated, which spread overnight.
The article's rhetoric is fierce, and it directly states the ten major malpractices of the late emperor during his reign.
One is the unclear military authority.
After three or two days, even the vendors and footmen on the street knew what these two gentlemen had written.
In their words, what the teacher said makes sense. People like them all understand this truth, but why don’t the adults in the court understand it? What is the saying, eat other people’s food and obey their management. The truth is
This is the truth. If a local government raises an army, is it the imperial army or their own army? Is it subject to the imperial government or to them?
As the words were passed around, it was heart-wrenching.
It seems that if the civil servants do not agree to the status that the military attache deserves, then they are harboring evil intentions.
Taishi Yin came back, but said that no one was seen after a long journey. After Chen Qingcang returned home, he saw no one. Gao Hanyuan and Zhang Shulan are the leaders of the civil servants. Even though Zhang Shulan is an old minister of the East Palace, in such a big matter, what position does it take?
But he was quite determined: "What can a group of warriors do?" He said and sneered, "A few country folk came, made a few pouty words, and wanted to shake things up? One by one, no one has good intentions!
All of them are great scholars, and they claim to be free in the mountains and fields, so what are they doing here now? With a few scaremongering words, they are seeking more than just a job. It is really unreasonable."
He went to find the new emperor who was recuperating: "Your Majesty, when the imperial court is employing people, they are willing to serve the imperial court. The ministers can't wait for it, but they should never come to the capital to stir up trouble. Jiangnan and Jiangnan are both in trouble.
In the province, all officials from the south of the Yangtze River were officials. The things at that time should be dealt with according to the laws of the time. But after all, it was not a long-term matter. I thought that I would wait until everything in the court was on track before dealing with it, but I didn't expect that they
Not willing to give in. What is this now? Either the Jiangnan Gang or the Nanshan Party. They want to blackmail the imperial court and influence the will of the imperial court. This kind of behavior must not be tolerated."
Lin Pingzhang looked at Zhang Shulan: "You mean, the so-called Jiangnan Gang is building momentum for them to become officials?"
Zhang Shulan nodded: "If this were not the case, I really can't think of why they came here if they did this?"
oh!
Lin Pingzhang raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Okay, I understand. But teacher..."
"I don't dare." Zhang Shulan quickly lowered his head.
"You are my husband, so why don't you dare?" He helped Zhang Shulan up, "I won't lie to you, teacher. The teacher knows how heavy the Jiangnan land is. What about now? Look at the bureau.
It seems to be stable, but with the wind coming from all directions, there may be a flaw somewhere. The teacher said before that the current imperial court relies on the word 'stability'. The teacher understands the righteousness, and sometimes, the teacher really has to suffer."
Zhang Shulan was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears of gratitude: "It's the veteran who failed to understand His Majesty's intention..."
"It's not the teacher's fault." Lin Pingzhang said with a smile, "They want to become officials, which is always a good thing for the current imperial court. It's better to ask for something than to ask for nothing, what do you think?"
That's true! When you become an official, you must obey the control and abide by the rules of the officialdom. You can no longer make nonsense and stir up troubles everywhere like now.
He sighed: "Then what they said..."
Lin Pingzhang said: "So what if it's accurate?" He patted Zhang Shulan on the shoulder, "Everyone in the world is talking about it. I believe that the teacher is absolutely unselfish, but why does the teacher have to do things that are beneath the melons and plums in the fields?"
In the light of the calcium carbide fire, Zhang Shulan felt blessed in his heart: The Emperor is in favor of this matter.
He sighed in his heart: "I understand."
Tell yourself carefully, this is called toasting. If you don't know how to respect others, you will be punished by drinking.
Before coming out, Zhang Shulan said: "Old minister, I have to say another inappropriate thing."
"Look, the teacher is thinking too much." Lin Pingzhang whispered: "I also thought that you could understand the students' difficulties. If you don't get along with the students, you can just say whatever you want. This will not be in vain to our teachers.
The love we have had over the years.”
Zhang Shulan sighed before saying: "Your Majesty, I want to say something to you. Your Highness Taisun really did not make any mistakes. It is not appropriate to delay giving him the title for so long. If he continues to delay like this, I am afraid that people will
It cannot be stabilized.”
Lin Pingzhang nodded repeatedly, "Come on, aren't I thinking about celebrating the New Year? I want to be blessed with double happiness."
Zhang Shulan smiled when he saw that the emperor did not feel any strange. "In this way... I will feel at ease."
After they were sent away, Lin Pingzhang said to Li Changzhi: "Look! Look! Even our Mr. Zhang, who was deceived by her, still said good things for her."
Li Changzhi laughed and pointed outside: "The Queen is waiting."
Lin Pingzhang put away the smile on his face: "Ask her to come in."
The Crown Princess became a Queen, and she was not very happy. Instead, she was trembling with fear all day long.
"I know why you came." Lin Pingzhang pulled the princess to sit on the couch aside without asking her to bow. "Are you doing it for Wu'er? Do you want to pierce the window paper?"
Mrs. Chen nodded: "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm favoring Wu'er, it's that I'm feeling uneasy. In the final analysis, I'm the one who harmed the two children." But now it's too late to regret. "When Your Majesty ascended the throne, what happened back then?
It is no longer a matter of deceiving the emperor..."
Lin Pingzhang sighed: "He is my son, and what should be said must be said. It is easy to pierce this layer of paper, but what follows..."
"I know this." Mrs. Chen wiped away her tears, "It's not easy for Your Majesty to make this decision."
Not only is it not easy.
The Lin family is a royal family, but people with different surnames will ascend to the throne in the future. Between the two royal families, I am afraid that it will be either you or me who will die in the future. The closer the clan is, the less likely they will be able to die well.
"I can't sleep every night, thinking about this matter." Lin Pingzhang sighed, "I can trust our daughter, but what about two or three generations later? I am worried about the near and far, and I only feel that there are many difficulties and fog."
The queen asked: "Then the emperor would like to ask Wu'er again what he meant?" Maybe he changed his mind?
Lin Pingzhang patted the queen's hand: "You... don't say this again."
The queen looked puzzled: "Tong'er is a kind-hearted child..."
"Kind-hearted?" Lin Pingzhang nodded. She is kind-hearted, but she cannot be equated with ordinary kind-hearted girls.
In order to reduce the opposition of the imperial court officials to the crown princess, she first delegated power to civil servants, and then quietly asked the Yin family to help gather military power outside. Not only did she take over military power, she also incited the troops stationed in various places to go to memorials and cause trouble, so as to
In order to increase the weight of the military commander in the court, he beat the military commander with a stick and hung him with a sweet date. Then he used the military commander's tricks to force the civil servants to submit. The two sides started to fight, but with a stroke of genius, he was
Scholars from the south of the Yangtze River who were about to come to the capital were dragged in. The civil and military parties, who were originally at odds with each other, were immediately diverted. From fighting between civil and military forces, they turned into fighting between people of letters.
The military generals thought she was good, the civil servants also thought she was good, and the officials in Jiangnan were all promoted by her. All three parties acknowledged her affection.
What a wonderful method she used to win over people's hearts, consolidate the imperial power, and reform the military system.
And what she did was just follow the trend. After all, he had already asked people to invite people like Mr. Sanqing earlier. The purpose was to replace the old people with new people. After going around in such a circle, she had accomplished so much.
Afterwards, we came back to the starting point.
The wind she stirred up turned over and over again, and then the rain stopped and the wind stopped.
Smart people can see through what's going on here, but since they are smart, they won't tell you.
What does it matter if an unintelligent person can see through it or not?
On the last day of the twenty-fifth year of Xuanping, the New Year's Eve of the first year of Taishi was about to usher in. There was singing and dancing in the palace.
The emperor who had already achieved great success seemed to have been forgotten long ago.
The Queen Mother did not come, and only the Emperor and the Queen sat at the head. The concubines and the princes and princesses all took their seats in turn.
But the only thing I didn't see was my grandson, the one who was about to become the prince.
Not only those below were whispering timidly, but Roujia could not help but ask the queen in a low voice: "Mother, where is my brother?" How could he not show up on such an important day?
Like Meng Fang Chen Yunhe, Taisun's cronies exchanged glances from time to time, showing worry.
At this time, Taishi Yin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am old and frail, and I can no longer bear the pain of writing documents..."
After talking a lot, everyone understood that the old master was going to retire!
This surprise was no small matter. Zhang Shulan almost thought that this old guy had taken the wrong medicine. How could he give up the power in his hands?
Such an old minister has to work hard even if he has no merit. According to the rules, the emperor should try to retain him again and again, which can be regarded as fulfilling a king's last concern for his ministers.
But the emperor was kind enough and said in a calm tone: "It's accurate!"
Then Taishi Yin also stepped down and sat down with a matter-of-fact expression.
They were all too calm, so calm that it made people feel panicked, and they always felt like there was something going on between them that no one knew about.
As soon as Taishi Yin sat down, Chen Qingcang got up again. He came to apologize.
What crime?
The crime of deceiving the emperor!
What do these things mean?
"Get up." Lin Pingzhang looked at Chen Qingcang: "I will pardon your innocence."
The people sitting below looked at each other, not quite understanding what it meant.
Lin Pingzhang looked at Li Changzhi, and Li Changzhi shouted loudly: "Please come into the palace, your true prince and your true princess!"
What does it mean to be a legitimate prince or a legitimate princess?
Isn’t the legitimate prince a great-grandson? Isn’t the legitimate princess sitting next to the queen?
Roujia's face turned pale and she looked at the queen blankly. However, she saw that the queen was only looking at the door of the hall.
Everyone followed this line of sight and looked toward the entrance of the hall. They saw two apricot-yellow figures approaching each other.
Close! Close! Closer.
There is not much difference in height between the two, but the slightly taller one is obviously slimmer. The prince's robe is elegant and elegant. But... he is not the grandson.
On the other side, a beauty in royal attire... came closer to take another look at her facial features. People in the hall couldn't help but stand up and look up and down at the grandson in front of them.
Meng Fang and Chen Yunhe stared at her face and then at her figure. Then they looked at each other and couldn't help but ask: "Did you know this before?" After asking, both of them were stunned.
Then he shook his head simultaneously!
No! Not aware!
Who could have thought of it? Who would have dared to think so?
He bowed under the gaze of everyone, and then stood on either side of the emperor and queen with Lin Yuwu.
Lin Pingzhang said: "That's what you saw." He pointed to Lin Yuwu, "The legitimate prince, Lin Yuwu." Then he pointed to Lin Yutong, "The legitimate princess, Lin Yutong." He looked at the queen, "Back then, the two children were still alive.
The servants made a mistake in their busy schedule and carried the two children by mistake. But the big mistake had been made and Beikang was involved, so they were suppressed at this time."
Hug the wrong one?
Haha! Then all the slaves in this palace should be beaten to death!
This is simply ridiculous.
Someone shouted: "On that day, Your Highness swore in front of all the ministers..."
Lin Yutong laughed: "How did I swear? I said that I am the biological flesh and blood of my parents. Is this wrong?"
The man was speechless.
Zhang Shulan stood up and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, what do you want now?"
Establishing a crown prince?
But we don’t know the prince at all?
Who knows whether he is a virtuous person or whether he is worthy of being a king? I never knew there was such a person before.
As a result, when he asked what he said, the emperor had not yet spoken. Lin Yuwu spoke, "Master Zhang is asking this, because the emperor wants to canonize the crown princess. What's there to ask?"
The Crown Princess?!
Unheard of, unseen!
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Shulan said hurriedly: "Is this really true?"
"What?" Lin Yuwu asked again: "Is there anything wrong? The grandson who is praised by everyone in the court is the heir apparent. What's wrong with that?"
"Of course it's inappropriate. I have never heard of a woman being the emperor." Lin Yuliu stood up, her face turned pale with anger.
"But you are not even as good as a woman, so what qualifications do you have?" Lin Yuwu snorted, "I'm not better than you in other aspects, but at least I have self-awareness." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Shulan, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?
Is the Prince of Lin'an County suitable?"
Zhang Shulan would not dare to say this!
As long as His Highness was standing nearby, he didn't dare to say this. After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that his respect for His Highness had reached this point?
Many ministers have set their sights on King Lin'an Jin and the legitimate prince. Everyone is familiar with Lin'an County Prince. He can only be said to be an outstanding young man, that's all. As for the legitimate prince, what should I say? Just look.
These few sentences are annoying in every way!
Yes! It’s that annoying kind of aggressive and arrogant thing.
Is this kind of character appropriate?
The other two younger princes huddled behind their mother like quails.
Who is suitable?
Lin Yuwu added: "Maybe you think King Wu'an or the third prince of the late emperor is suitable?"
Lin Pingkang came out and knelt down: "I will die."
Zhang Shulan was so angry that Lin Yuwu almost pushed her over.
An old Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy came out and knelt down tremblingly: "Your Majesty wants to make the princess the crown prince, so that she can be worthy of our ancestors..."
"Those are the ancestors of my Lin family, what does that have to do with you?" Lin Yuwu said directly without anyone opening their mouths.
The queen slowly closed her eyes, tears kept flowing down: My Wu'er, why are you like this!
Lin Yuwu played the role of an annoying prince from the very beginning, which made Lin Yutong feel quite uncomfortable.
She walked slowly to the people: "If my father makes me the crown prince, I will be the crown prince. I came from Beikang, I broke into the wolf den, and I walked through the killing array. Until today, I believe you all should know it.
My temper. My four favorite words are those who obey me will prosper."
But everyone could hear the spirit of "Those who oppose me will perish".
She stood there, her whole body exuding a kind of aura. She raised her eyes and looked down, but no one dared to look at her.
Silence! After a long silence, reason returned, and each one began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.
The emperor is willing, and looking at the situation now, it means that he has made up his mind.
The real grandson, who was supposed to be the prince, seemed to have no interest in the throne.
The queen seemed a little reluctant, but her opinion was the least important.
Who else?
The Queen Mother? There is a deep quarrel between the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and the Emperor may not value the Queen Mother's opinions very much.
If they don't object anymore, is there any use in objecting on your own?
Besides, why should I object?
Have you suffered a loss? Who has not benefited from this ‘great grandson’?
Speaking of objections? Isn’t this just picking up the bowl to eat meat and putting down the bowl to curse?
Besides, is it possible to object?
The soldier talisman is in her hand, right?
So she said that those who rebel against me will perish, and it is true. If you dare to say nonsense, maybe you can become the second Wanfangyuan.
Lin Pingzhang looked at Li Changzhi: "Announce the decree!"
Li Changzhi held the imperial edict in his hand and slowly opened it, and everyone stood up and knelt down. At this time, Li Changzhi's voice seemed to come from outside the sky: "I inherit the order of Huang Tian's family, Hong Xiu of the saints, and by the order of Emperor Daxing, I canonize the direct descendant.
The eldest daughter, Yutong, is the princess of the emperor. She is enshrined in the ancestral hall, has been blessed with prosperity, and has continued her career and work together to create a new governance. I would like to inform heaven and earth at this time..."
Is it true that the princess is crowned as the crown prince?
Roujia looked at the queen, her eyes full of confusion, and asked in a low voice: "Mother...who am I?"
The queen looked at her father, Chen Qingcang, who was kneeling below, and then said slowly: "You are the princess of this palace and the emperor. We will choose a suitable consort for you and make you rich and prosperous all your life."
Roujia looked at Mr. Chen Ge and slowly realized: "I... understand."
The queen lowered her eyelids, with a somewhat gloomy look in her eyes, and then sighed deeply: Wu'er, my silly son!
But Lin Yuwu didn't think so. He said with a faint smile: The world is so big, I just want to go out and see.
Meng Fang touched Chen Yunhe's arm and lowered his voice and said, "Tell me, if you have a princess, do you still have to choose a husband for the princess?"
Chen Yunhe stared: "This is natural."
Qi also suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I am not engaged or married, there is no one in the room, and I never go to Huajieliuxiang."
"You can't do that!" Meng Fang said, "I don't know, but I thought the princess would have to rely on marriage to appease you Liangzhou. Besides, she told you to come back to Liangzhou in the future."
This is true!
But Chen Yunhe grunted and said: "I...I'm not bad either...kiss me more..."
"If I choose you, I won't choose you." Meng Fang said again, "Don't even think about it, if the queen's natal family has another one..." Imperial husband? "Your Chen family wants to turn the world upside down!"
Chen Yunhe was angry: "Do you think you have hope?"
Meng Fang hadn't spoken yet, but Qi over there reminded them to look forward, and they saw the boy from the Yin family next to them looking at each other affectionately with the Crown Princess.
Meng Xin felt uncomfortable, but he said: "That's right! We are all very independent-minded. As for the emperor, I have to find a simple person who has no independent opinions."
Chen Yunhe said 'hmm', "Besides, isn't my grandfather already old? No wonder he gave up the power in his hands. It turns out he was planning this."
Qi also chuckled: "You just don't want to admit that your parents are good parents!"
"The only thing left is the long ones!" Meng Fang and Chen Yunhe said in unison.
Fourth Master: "..." Just be happy.
Outside the Imperial City, a slovenly old Taoist looked blankly at a bright red light rising over the Imperial City, with a bit of shock in his eyes: "... red with blood... everything is difficult to resolve... woman
For the emperor... the blood will fill the royal palace..." Then he counted on his fingers, and laughed loudly after a long time, "There is good luck in the evil, there is no danger. Luan and phoenix come to the ceremony, and the dragon swims in the nine heavens. The Holy Lord comes to the court, and the world is at peace.
…”
He laughed, ran, and shouted, one sound higher than the other, soaring into the sky!
