Accompanied by the maid's shout, Chen Shiba Niang had already opened the door.
Old Mrs. Chen and Chen Shao, who were sitting talking to each other in the room, looked over.
"Eighteenth lady..." The servants followed, trying to pull her out with a bit of sarcasm.
Old Mrs. Chen waved his hand to the servant woman.
"Why are you here?" he asked, smiling at Chen Shiba Niang and greeting her, "Come, sit down."
The servants stepped back and closed the door.
"Father." Chen Shiba Niang sat down and looked at Chen Shao without caring about saluting, and said anxiously, "Why don't you recommend Prince Qing as the crown prince again?"
Chen Shao frowned slightly.
"I didn't say that," he said.
"Father, it has spread all over the world." Chen Shiba Niang said, "You met with Zhang Jiangzhou and you did not refute him."
"My father has no reason to refute him," Chen Shao said.
Zhang Jiangzhou was a man of great eloquence and erudition, and there were not many people who could compete with him in terms of argumentation alone.
Chen Shiba Niang sat up suddenly.
"Then you still agree with him? Are you going to recommend the clan?" she said anxiously, "Father, how could you do this!"
Old Mrs. Chen frowned and interrupted her.
"Eighteen Mother, how can you talk to your father like this? Is this filial piety?" he said.
"Is what my father did this an act of loyalty and filial piety to your Majesty?" Chen Shiba Niang pursed her lips and said.
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent.
"Your Majesty has his own children, and these people actually want to abandon His Majesty's own children and adopt the clan. I think if Your Majesty is still sober, they would not dare to say or do this." Chen Shiba Niang said with an excited expression, "The reason why they dare is
Bullying Your Majesty for being too ill to speak, father, my father has always taken His Majesty's kindness to heart and devoted himself to living up to His Majesty's burden, so is this how my father repays His Majesty now? Is this his father's way of loyalty and filial piety?"
Old Mrs. Chen sighed.
"Eighteen Mother, if the fate of the country is not guaranteed and the government is in chaos, this will be disloyal and unfilial to His Majesty," he said.
"Grandpa!" Chen Shiba Niang shouted, "So is my father just going with the flow because he is afraid of being known as a corrupt official?"
"If a father was afraid of notoriety, he would not have elected Prince Qing as the crown prince in the first place!" Chen Shao raised his eyebrows and said, "If you elect Prince Qing as the crown prince, threaten the Queen Mother not to interfere in politics, and choose your own ministers to assist the government, your father will be looked upon by the world.
Why, don’t you know?”
Seeing her father's angry and sad expression, Chen Shiba Niang could no longer hold back her tears.
"But why did my father change again?" she cried. "The sage said that self-reliance will lead to shrinking. Even though tens of thousands of people have passed away, can my father still not be able to do it?"
Looking at his crying daughter, Chen Shao's expression softened again.
"Eighteen Mother, this matter is not that simple." Chen Shao said, "You don't know."
You don't understand this sentence and let Chen Shiba sit up straight again.
"Father, I don't know? I don't know. I only know that Prince Qing is your Majesty's biological son and your only bloodline. How will Prince Qing deal with these people when they establish a new emperor?" She said with tears.
"Eighteenth Mother, Prince Qing is not suitable." Chen Shao sighed and said.
Chen Shiba Niang looked at her father and smiled.
"Not suitable?" she said, "So my father believed her words and wants to choose a Mr. Right?"
Chen Shao frowned.
"Who is she?" he asked.
"She just said that the prince was in danger, so the prince was in danger. She said that the destined emperor had someone else, so the queen proposed to adopt him," said Chen Shiba Niang.
"Eighteen Mother!" Old Mrs. Chen raised his eyebrows and yelled, "Do you actually believe what the stupid people say? Have you ever heard what she said with your own ears? How dare you say what she said if you can't see or hear.
Character!"
Are there still few people who believe it?
Are there few people who believe in her?
She didn't say?
"As long as you practice more, can you be as good as my wife?"
"No, sometimes it's talent."
Can't! Can't! Can't!
Sometimes it’s destiny! It’s destiny!
It should be King Qing, it should be King Qing. This is obviously an indisputable fact!
Taibai appears, and the prince is in danger.
Hard work is useless, because it is not destiny, so it is struck to death by lightning.
It is useless to be a direct relative by blood, because it is not destiny, so he cannot be the prince.
"I don't believe it." Chen Shiba Niang stood up suddenly, "I don't believe that my father really wanted to do this and said that Emperor Sima was trying to bring chaos to the government. Is it because of this that everyone dared not raise Prince Qing to be the crown prince?
Are we afraid of destiny, or are we afraid that we will not be able to govern for the Qingming Dynasty? We are shrinking from ourselves. Although tens of thousands of people have gone there, it turns out that everyone is just talking about the words of the sage, and no one dares to follow the words of the sage.
!”
After saying that, she turned around, opened the door and walked away quickly.
"Eighteen Niang!" Chen Shao shouted.
Old Mrs. Chen raised his hand to stop.
"No need to shout." He said, "The summer insect cannot talk to the ice one, just let her be."
Chen Shiba Niang's carriage drove out of Chen's house. The maid outside the carriage lowered her head and kept silent and did not dare to speak. She followed beside the carriage and heard the sobs inside the carriage gradually subsided.
The Chen family and Chen Shiba Niang's husband's family are not too far apart. In order to facilitate the care of the young couple, Mrs. Chen specially chose a nearby mansion for them.
Just as he was about to turn into the alley, Chen Shiba Niang's voice came from inside the car.
"Don't go back yet, go to Prince Ping's Mansion."
Prince Ping's Mansion?
The servants were slightly surprised.
……………………………………………………
"Father, it's her!"
Gao Xiaoguanren shouted and stopped pacing.
"The Queen is trapped in the Emperor's Palace by the Queen Mother. She has never seen anyone but her!"
He walked quickly to Gao Lingbo.
"Father, they have colluded long ago! The Queen, Cheng, and Prince Jin'an have colluded from the beginning! All of this has been a conspiracy since Taibai Jingtian!"
"Father, they are treason! Father, the queen is treason!"
"Don't say stupid things." Gao Lingbo interrupted him.
"How can this be stupid?" Gao Xiaoguan asked anxiously, "They want to support the king of Jin'an County!"
Gao Lingbo laughed.
"So this is stupid talk." He laughed, "If they say they support independence, can they support it?"
At this time, he could still laugh, and the official Gao Xiaoguan became even more anxious.
"Father, the comments outside are not good for Prince Qing now," he said.
"Remarks?" Gao Lingbo said, "King Pu'an Yi professed his marriage and used the tomb as a garden, that is, a temple was built in the garden. All the officials who remonstrated with him asked for demotion. Not only the officials, but also Wang Lie and Cai Kang, the former staff of Yingzong Qiandi, opposed the marriage proposal.
The world is clamoring, but what will be the result?"
At this he smiled mockingly.
"In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers. They can only take it if the emperor gives it to them. If the emperor doesn't give it to them, will the ministers want to rob it?"
"The big deal is, it's just a delay of eighteen months. Are we afraid of the delay?"
Having said this, Gao Lingbo stood up.
"I'm going for a walk."
Some of the confused senior officials hurriedly followed.
"My son will accompany you."
Gao Lingbo shook his head and raised his hand to stop him.
"I want to take a walk by myself."
Gao Xiaoguan stopped and watched his father walk out.
Let's take a walk. Although my father is confident, the recent series of events are really exhausting.
Speaking of which, I should go for a walk to change my mood.
"Come, come, come out with me," he said.
Immediately two men approached him.
After Gao Lingbo's carriage left quietly, Gao Xiaoguanren's carriage also left even more quietly.
The carriage drove slowly along the street. Gao Lingbo was indeed in a bad mood. He temporarily let his mind go without thinking about anything until he saw Prince Ping's Mansion in the distance.
For a moment, Gao Lingbo felt his heart pounding.
In order to avoid suspicion, he has never been here since Prince Ping opened his mansion.
"Go to Prince Ping's Mansion," he said.
Prince Ping's Mansion is no longer what it used to be. The original servants have all been recalled to await punishment, to be held accountable, or to guard Prince Ping's mausoleum. At this time, there are only a few servants left in the mansion to look after the mansion.
Gao Lingbo entered the door easily and walked around the palace. When he finally entered Prince Ping's study, he seemed to be tired from walking and slowly sat down in the room.
The bookshelves are dazzlingly beautiful, and several desks are covered with brushwork. There are books, stickers, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, all of which are about studying and studying.
"Your Highness has been studying hard day and night."
"Your Highness never likes to have fun, but only likes to read."
Gao Lingbo looked around and seemed to see a young man sitting dignified and studying hard in front of him.
No more, no more...
God is unkind.
Gao Lingbo only felt that his throat was sore, his eyes were astringent, and tears were streaming down his face.
The ways of heaven are unkind and unfair. How could they treat King Ping like this and the Gao family like this?
One wave after another, one hurdle after another, and in the end, they simply cut out the fuel...
The world is so difficult, the world is so difficult.
Gao Lingbo raised his sleeves to cover his face and cried wantonly. Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door. He stopped suddenly, got up and went to open the door.
"Who's here?" he shouted.
A woman stood outside the door with her hands hanging down, her expression obviously frightened.
"Master Gao." Chen Shiba Niang murmured.
Gao Lingbo was stunned for a moment. There were tears in his eyes, so he raised his hand to wipe them before he could see the woman clearly.
"Madam Chen," he said, turning away slightly as if he was a little ashamed.
"I'm sorry, I, I didn't know you were here," Chen Shiba Niang said, hurriedly saluting.
At this time, the chamberlains also came over and apologized one after another.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Gao Lingbo wiped his tears, covered up his gaffe, turned his head and said with a smile, and he was a little curious, "What's wrong with Mrs. Chen?"
Chen Shiba Niang lowered her head.
"Some copybooks are still here with Your Highness, I'll come and get them," she said.
Gao Lingbo said "oh" and stretched out his hand to invite him.
"Please, ma'am," he said.
Chen Shiba Niang saluted and walked into the study, followed by the servants.
"The original people are all gone, and we don't know where His Highness is," they said.
"Just a few cases, His Highness will copy them every time he reads or writes." Chen Shiba Niang said as she stepped forward.
Sure enough, the waiter pulled it out from several cases and happily handed it to Chen Shiba Niang.
This stirred up a layer of dust.
"Why don't you clean it?" Chen Shiba Niang said with faint anger, "Your Highness dislikes uncleanness the most!"
This sentence made the waiter a little panicked.
Chen Shiba Niang also noticed that she was losing her temper, lowered her head, took the note, and turned around to leave.
"Ms. Chen, thank you very much and I'm thinking of Your Highness."
Watching her come out, Gao Lingbo, who was standing at the door to avoid it, said suddenly.
No one in the world cares about Prince Ping anymore. Thinking of the old man crying in the house that she just heard, Chen Shiba Niang paused in her steps.
"Master Gao," she turned around and whispered, "please put aside other disputes and let King Ping be buried as soon as possible and his title be finalized."
Because of the unexpected events surrounding the appointment of the crown prince, the posthumous title after Prince Ping's death has not yet been decided, let alone the resignation of the emperor in memory of him.
He has been completely forgotten, his death was ridiculous, and he lost any dignity as a prince after his death.
Gao Lingbo's expression became solemn and he saluted Chen Shiba Niang.
"Thank you for your concern, madam," he said. "There is knowledge under Prince Ping's spring, which can alleviate my cold heart."
Chilling.
Yes, his death was so unjust and his death was so desolate, how could he not be heartbroken?
Chen Shiba Niang didn't say anything but returned the courtesy and stepped forward.
Watching Chen Shiba Niang leave, Gao Lingbo turned to look at the study, where several servants knelt down in panic.
"Slaves, please clean up and tidy up now. Don't dare to wait any longer." They kowtowed.
Gao Lingbo smiled.
"No need," he said, "he has gone, there is no need for these things."
After that, he raised his feet and went out.
"Master, are you going home?" the servant asked for instructions.
"No, enter the palace." Gao Lingbo said.
The servant responded "yes" and started to drive.
"And take my post and send it to Mr. Chen. I want to talk to him." Gao Lingbo said.
