The prime minister, University scholar Wang, Uncle Xiaoguo, King Jin, and the six ministers rushed into the palace when they heard the emperor's summons.
Whenever there is any trouble in the capital, all the prefectures will get the news as soon as possible.
Lin Zhixiao hijacked Su Fengnuan at Yipinxiang Teahouse, and was blocked by Xu Yunchu and sent back to Su's Mansion. Ye Chang took a thousand guards and killed him to Lin's Mansion. Relying on the large number of people, Ye Chang hurt Lin Zhixiao's teacher Lin As a guest, Lin Zhixiao had no choice but to take out a brocade box. After Ye Chang saw it, he ordered someone to present it to the emperor. Soon, the emperor ordered Ye Chang to escort Lin Zhixiao into the palace.
Such a big event naturally caused speculations from various mansions.
Now that the emperor hastily ordered several people to enter the palace, it can be seen that there are important matters to be discussed.
Koizumi was waiting on the way to the imperial study, and stopped everyone, "My lord, Mr. Xiang, Uncle Xiaoguo, my lords, the emperor is waiting in the Nuan Pavilion."
Everyone nodded.
Koizumi led the way and led everyone to the Nuan Pavilion next to the imperial study.
After the establishment of the Southern Qi Dynasty, there was a saying that the harem should not be involved in politics, but it was related to the exchange of the emperor's parents and children, because the concubine Yue Gui also had something to do with the harem. After Su Fengnuan and Ye Xi left, the queen mother and queen didn't get up to return to the palace, and they wanted to see how everyone discussed.
After the prime minister and others came to the Nuan Pavilion, they naturally saw the people present in the Nuan Pavilion, the emperor, the queen mother, the empress, Ye Chang, Lin Zhixiao, and the deposed prince.
After everyone bowed, the emperor waved his hands and said in a deep voice, "Today, I urgently order all my lovers to come, because I have an important matter to discuss with you." After saying that, he told Koizumi, " Show the dragon pattern jade pendant and Yue Guifei's pen to all the lovers."
"Yes." Koizumi replied, and quickly handed the dragon pattern jade pendant and Yue Guifei's pen to everyone.
The prime minister took it first, and after reading it, he showed a shocked expression, and immediately handed over the token to Senior Scholar Wang. passed on.
Lin Zhixiao and the abandoned prince, one looked calm, the other looked bewildered.
After a while, everyone looked around and naturally understood the purpose of the emperor's urgent order for them to come. This is indeed an unbelievably sensational event.
Although Xu Yunchu had expected that Lin Zhixiao would be able to rely on him for daring to kidnap Su Fengnuan in the capital, he did not expect that he was the real son of the emperor, and there would be a scene of exchanging sons for different sons twenty years ago. He quickly thought that if Lin Zhixiao had the status of a prince, he would be in trouble in the future.
"Why don't you talk?" the emperor asked in a deep voice after everyone had seen it.
Everyone glanced at each other, King Jin spoke first, "Your Majesty, can you verify your integrity? Are you sure?"
The emperor nodded, "I personally checked the body, accompanied by the Queen Mother, Ye Chang, and Ye Xi. Lin Zhixiao is indeed my son. When he was born, I carved a dragon pattern on his body."
The king of Jin immediately knelt down and said, "Since that's the case, the old minister congratulates the emperor and congratulates the emperor. The second son of Lin is the real prince, which is of great benefit to our country in Southern Qi. We are currently short of a prince in Southern Qi."
The emperor said "Huh?", looked at King Jin, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Wang, you want me to recognize him?"
King Jin nodded, "Exactly!"
The queen mother said at this time, "King Jin, have you forgotten the case of Concubine Yuegui? Concubine Yuegui has committed many crimes, how can her son be used by the community?"
The King of Jin was startled, and immediately said, "Queen Dowager, the mother is the mother, and the son is the son, not to mention he is the emperor's flesh and blood. Even though Yue Guifei has committed many crimes and committed a lot of evil, if the emperor brings her with him and teaches him carefully, given time, he will be determined." I can follow the emperor."
The Empress Dowager said, "Your grandson Liu Yan is now reading the memorials for the emperor in the imperial study. The emperor is in poor health, and it is already very tiring to bring one to teach him. How can he bring two to teach him?"
King Jin immediately said, "Now that there is a crown prince, Liu Yan naturally doesn't have to follow the emperor to teach him."
The queen mother stayed for two.
The emperor looked at the crowd when he heard the words, "My dear friends, what do you think of King Jin's proposal?"
The Prime Minister, Master Wang, Xu Yunchu, Liubu Shangshu and others looked at each other, and felt that this matter was really hard to say.
Seeing that no one spoke, the emperor said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister, tell me, how should I deal with this matter?"
Seeing the emperor's roll call, the prime minister deliberated for a while, and said, "Since the second son Lin is the emperor's son, he is not only in good health, but also has good moral character and good reputation, which is a happy event. But... a matter of exchanging with a different son , the veteran feels that this is a big matter and needs to be carefully considered."
King Jin said, "The emperor and the empress dowager personally verified his integrity. Since he is the real prince, what should we consider?"
The prime minister looked at the King of Jin and said, "If the matter of the exchange of different sons is spread, it will make a big joke in the world. I am a big country in the Southern Qi Dynasty. If this happens, I am afraid that it will make the Northern Zhou laugh. It will lose the royal dignity."
King Jin said, "Now that Northern Zhou is a defeated country, and Chu Han is still serving as a hostage in Southern Qi, what right does Northern Zhou have to laugh at Southern Qi?"
The prime minister stopped talking.
The Queen Mother looked at King Jin and said, "Being ridiculed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty is a trivial matter. Throughout the ages, I have never heard of such a rare thing. Now it appears in our Southern Qi. Once it is recorded in the annals of history, I am afraid that I will be laughed at for thousands of years. "
King Jin choked.
The emperor said angrily, "The queen mother is right. I have loved the noble concubine Yue and the crown prince for many years, but I have not found out that I have been fooled so far. How can I have the face to disclose this? Tell the world? In the next thousand years of history, I will always being ridiculed."
At this time, the queen said, "It will not only be laughed at for thousands of years? It may not disappear even after ten thousand years."
The king of Jin immediately said, "Think of a way, just cover up the past. From ancient times to the present, in all dynasties, which royal family has no secrets that can't be spoken to the outside world? Although the matter of exchanging sons and daughters is rarely heard, it is still the most important thing for the country and the country. Your Majesty, after all, the foundation of our ancestors cannot be abandoned. Now the Second Young Master Lin is the Emperor's own son, which is a very happy event."
The emperor heard the words and asked, "Since Uncle Wang said so, is there any way to cover it up? To prevent me and the Emperor of Nanqi from being laughed at for thousands of years?"
"This..." King Jin glanced left and right, and seemed to have nothing to do for a while, seeing Ye Chang sitting casually not far away, half listening, extremely relaxed, incompatible with the gloomy atmosphere in the Nuan Pavilion today, he immediately said , "Ye Chang, you always have a lot of crooked ideas, please help the emperor think about it."
Everyone looked at Ye Chang when they heard the words.
Ye Chang raised his eyes, glanced at King Jin, and said lazily, "The emperor was asking you something, and you pushed the problem to me. I offended the emperor two days ago, and the emperor smashed the imperial study in anger. Do you want the Emperor to destroy the Nuan Pavilion if I say any more unpleasant words?"
King Jin's beard suddenly raised.
The emperor opened his mouth at this moment, and said angrily, "If you want to say it, you can say it. If you don't say it well, I won't smash the Nuan Pavilion today, but I will smash your Rong'an Palace."
Ye Chang immediately said, "Prince Rong'an's mansion is the mansion left by my father and mother. I have lived in the mansion for many years, and I am tired of it. You want to smash it."
The emperor was blocked for a moment, glaring at Ye Chang, and said angrily, "You bastard, you really think there's nothing I can do about you, don't you?"
Ye Chang stood up with a smile, cupped his hands, and said, "Don't dare, the emperor loved me so much since childhood, that's why I dare to act recklessly in front of you." After saying that, he glanced at King Jin, then at Lin Zhi Filial piety and the abolition of the crown prince said as if it were not a big deal, "Since the second son Lin is the emperor's son, the emperor must recognize it. As for how to recognize it, that's easy to say. I only told the outside that the old concubine Yue gave birth to a pair of twins, and she was raised by herself. In the imperial palace, one person was raised in the Lin family in Jianghu in order to hone his mind. Now that the first prince has been deposed, you have brought back another son who was fostered in the Lin family."
The emperor was taken aback.
Everyone was also startled.
Ye Changyun said calmly, "The second son of Lin has both moral character and morality. There is a lack of a prince in the court. You can tell the world that you can be crowned prince immediately, and it will also calm the hearts of the people who are floating in the court and the opposition." , I will be taught by the queen mother. The emperor was brought up by the queen mother herself since childhood. The queen mother is still very strong, so it is not a problem to teach Liu Yan. In time, Liu Yan will definitely benefit a lot and can assist the prince in governing for the future. Accompanying the crown prince is used by the country. With the two of them, the future of the Southern Qi Dynasty will be safe."
The emperor thought for a moment when he heard the words, and asked everyone, "Do you think what Ye Shizi said is appropriate?"
The prime minister and Master Wang nodded together, "What Ye Shizi said is extremely appropriate, and what the twin brothers said is excellent. In this way, the historical records will naturally not make more comments based on the prince's life experience."
The queen didn't expect that Ye Chang would also support Lin Zhixiao as the crown prince. When she thought of Concubine Yue, she felt that that bitch had produced a son after her death, and when she met him, he felt very hateful that the eyes were stabbed like needles. Seeing that no one objected anymore, she said, "However, Concubine Yuegui has committed many crimes and misbehavior. Although the second son of Lin has been certified, he has not been tested. It's really not prudent enough, no matter what, he has to take the school exam for a year and a half. After all, he knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart. If he has a bad reputation, it will not only be useless, but harmful to Nanqi Jiangshan. Is it too hasty to establish a prince now? gone?"
As soon as this remark came out, there was some truth.
The emperor didn't speak.
The king of Jin immediately said, "There must be a prince in the court. Now the court is unstable, many things in the world are overwhelming, and the people's livelihood is fluctuating. The prince should be established early, and the people's hearts will be at ease early. The second son Lin has half the blood of the emperor. He has been in Beijing for half a year now. Admiring Ms. Su, I didn't do anything out of line. The second son of Lin is just in his prime, and it's not wrong to love the woman he likes. If the queen is worried, it's better to record her in your name and raise her, and teach him with the emperor. That's also..."
The queen stood up suddenly, and said decisively, "Impossible, the place under my name is very small, but I can't foster a child of this age!"
