The Empress and Concubine Yue have been at odds for many years, and everyone knows about it. It is not surprising that the Empress simply and decisively rejected King Jin's proposal.
The emperor glanced at King Jin, then at Lin Zhixiao, then at the abolished prince, then turned to the queen, and said in a deep voice, "You are indeed right. Concubine Yue Gui has committed many crimes, and I hate her so much. The prince himself She was replaced by my other son behind her back. She grew up in Lin's family for many years, but did not grow up beside me. She is not familiar with the court and has not been trained. , I am not a qualified emperor anymore."
As soon as this remark came out, it meant that he agreed with the Queen's words.
The queen looked at the emperor unexpectedly. Since she entered the palace, for many years, because the Xu family has two daughters, the head of the country does not know how to avoid the new emperor's edge. He claims that he has made great contributions to supporting the emperor. He has always supported the emperor in front of him. After the emperor took power, the contradictions deepened, so that the royal family and foreign relatives were incompatible and fought for many years.
As a queen, she admired the emperor since she was a child, but the emperor didn't like her very much and alienated her. She was young and ignorant, and couldn't see through the emperor's resentment of the Xu family's growing power. As for the emperor, he even alienated her and loathed her. In the long run, she would bear bad reputations such as unworthy, untalented, immoral, and jealous.
Since Xu's family was put into the sky prison and escaped from the sky prison without any danger, the head of the country stepped back and looked away, and she also understood a lot of things.
Today, this is the first time that the emperor agrees with her words. She looked at the emperor, and a lot of grievances came to her heart for a while, but she was always strong, and she was suppressed desperately. Concubine resigns."
The emperor looked at the empress and was filled with emotion for a moment. He thought Concubine Yuegui was kind and kind like a little white rabbit, but he didn't expect that she would be like a tiger and wolf behind her back, committing countless crimes. He thought the empress was distorted and evil , but if you count it, it is even less than one or two out of ten concubines.
He sighed secretly, and said gently, "Every Chinese New Year, you will be extremely tired when you arrange a New Year's Eve banquet. Since you are tired, go back and have a good rest. I will ask the imperial physician to go to your palace to prescribe a prescription for you. After the new year, take good care of yourself."
The queen's eyes were wet, and she smiled, "The concubine listens to the emperor."
At this time, the queen mother stood up and said, "The Ai family is also exhausted, and the Ai family can't take care of the major affairs of the government and the society. Since Ye Shizi proposed to bring Liu Yan to teach the Ai family, the Ai family is still strong and healthy. I have some spare energy to share the emperor's worries, so this matter should be dealt with." The words fell, and he said to the King of Jin, "However, the Ai family will teach their children more severely than the emperor, so Jin Wang should not be reluctant to feel sorry for him, and will come to find the important person of the Ai family soon."
Upon hearing this, King Jin said quickly, "It's Liu Yan's blessing to be able to teach with the queen mother, the stricter the better."
The queen mother saw that King Jin had no objection to her teaching Liu Yan, so she and the queen left the warm pavilion and drove back to the palace.
After the two left, the emperor said to everyone, "Since that's the case, it's settled like this. The abolished crown prince and Lin Zhixiao are twin sons. Since they return to the palace today, they will change their names and surnames. The princes will use this analogy to tell the world."
Everyone nodded, no opinion.
The emperor expressed filial piety to Lin Zhi, "The Lin family has cared for you, and the kindness is great. I will reserve the word filial piety for you, and give you the name Liu Xiao."
Lin Zhixiao immediately knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name."
The emperor said, "For the time being, you will live in the Xixia Courtyard of the Imperial Palace. After a few years, I will seal the mansion for you."
Lin Zhixiao thanked him again, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
King Jin said, "Second Prince, it's time to call him Emperor Father."
Lin Zhixiao bowed his head and immediately changed his words, "Thank you, Father."
The emperor took a step forward and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, but seeing his appearance and eyes somewhat similar to Concubine Yuegui, he gave up and said wearily, "Xiaoquanzi, take the second prince to Shaode Hall for a temporary stay, according to the prince's Regulations, report to the Queen Mother and Empress, and arrange for those who serve."
"Yes." Koizumi responded, opened the curtain, bowed respectfully, "Please, Second Prince."
Lin Zhixiao resigned and left the Nuan Pavilion with Koizumi.
After he left, the emperor looked at the abandoned prince, carefully sized him up, and found out how could he have ignored him for so many years, he was obviously not like him, nor like Concubine Yue. It's really like Patriarch Lin. But in the end, he has been spoiled by him for many years, and now he is physically and mentally disabled. It is all because he has assumed the status of prince that does not belong to him. There is always some kind of father-son bond, and he couldn't deal with him, so he asked, "Even if you lost your memory, it has been half a year now, after today's incident, now you should understand some cause and effect, do you still want to go?" Lingyun Temple became a monk?"
The abolished prince was at a loss for a moment, then nodded, "I am like this, from now on I can only serve the Buddha for the rest of my life."
The emperor heard the words and said, "Since you still want to become a monk, I will see that your illness is no problem, so let's start today."
The deposed prince knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
The emperor waved his hand, and the deposed prince came out of the warm pavilion.
After the major event was agreed upon, the emperor immediately ordered someone to draw up an edict, put up a list and post a message, and announced it to the world. Since then, the Southern Qi royal family has added a second prince, Liu Xiao.
After the group left the palace, Ye Chang said to Xu Yunchu, "It's cold, Uncle Xiaoguo, come to my house for a drink?"
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Okay."
The two got into the carriage and headed to Rong An Palace together.
After the two left, the prime minister asked Master Wang, "Master Wang, come and sit in my mansion? I have a lot of experience in grinding the "Zhi Ping Fu" written by sages and sages yesterday. You and I can discuss it together."
Wang Lu nodded. "good."
After the two left, the six ministers also invited each other and left together.
Not long after, after leaving the palace gate, King Jin was left alone.
King Jin stood at the gate of the palace, looked back and forth, left and right, and within a short time, they all left together, leaving him alone. He looked back towards the palace gate. After everyone came out, the palace gate was closed again. He felt something was wrong for a while, but after a while, he suddenly realized that for many years, except for the clan members who listened to him, the ministers in the court did not have close friendships, but it was also because of this that he, the prince, could sit peacefully. The position of the prince, he does not form a party and courtiers, and is not suspected by the emperor, so he has stayed in the capital for many years.
He stopped for a while, put aside some thoughts that came to his mind, and drove back to Prince Jin's Mansion.
After everyone left the palace, the emperor's notice to the world was posted all over the capital, and some people rode fast horses and sent it to all states and counties.
The people gathered in front of the announcement, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tut-ts-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tush-surprised, they didn't expect that the Second Prince of the Lin Mansion turned out to be the Second Prince of the Emperor.
The courtiers were even more moved when they heard the news. Some people wondered if they had offended the second prince, some people thought about how to build friendship with the second prince, and some people thought that the prince had just been abolished, so they took the second prince back, Your Majesty Apart from him, there is no other adult prince who is suitable for training. Maybe he is the master of the next generation of Southern Qi, and his future is promising.
After Su Fengnuan left the palace and returned to the Su Mansion, he was so tired that he rested, naturally unaware of the bustling scene outside.
Mrs. Su was waiting for the news of General Su's return to Beijing, but unexpectedly, she waited for the news that Lin Zhixiao was the second prince. She was equally astonished. Originally, I planned to go to Fengnuan Pavilion to ask Su Fengnuan, but thought that she came back from the palace with a very tired and bad complexion, so I gave up.
At ten o'clock in the evening, General Su was escorted into Beijing.
Mrs. Su greeted her outside the house happily. General Su was intercepted and seriously injured. His life was in danger. After being saved by Qiuhua's parents, he only recovered from his injuries for a few days before leaving for Beijing. Slow down, but after all, it was a journey in the winter, and the injury healed slowly. After arriving in the capital, it was even more exhausting, lying on the carriage and unable to get up.
When the carriage came to the gate of the mansion, it had to be carried on a stretcher before getting out of the carriage.
When Mrs. Su saw General Su like this, she immediately wiped away her tears in distress.
General Su hadn't seen Mrs. Su for a year. Seeing that she was still as beautiful as before, with the same delicate face, he stretched out his hand to hold his hand with a smile, and said softly, "Madam don't cry, because my husband has a life to come back alive." , is a blessing, the injury will heal sooner or later."
Mrs. Su followed beside the stretcher and was held by General Su. She smiled with tears in her eyes and nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know, it's good that you can come back."
As the stretcher was carried into the main courtyard, a shout came from outside the rear foot, "The emperor is here!"
Mrs. Su just stepped over the threshold, she was startled when she heard the sound.
Su Che said quickly, "Quick, carry me to the door to meet you."
Mrs. Su didn't expect the emperor to come to the Su residence, and she immediately said distressedly, "You look like this, don't you need to go to the door to meet you? Let someone put you on the bed to rest first, and I will take someone to the door to meet you." gone."
Su Che said decisively, "No, I just returned to Beijing. The emperor loves his ministers so much and came out of the palace to visit him in person. How can I disrespect the emperor? The emperor treats his ministers seriously, how can a minister treat his emperor lightly? Come on, carry me there!"
Mrs. Su was helpless, and ordered someone to carry General Su back to the gate of the mansion.
Su Che's stretcher had just turned halfway back, and the emperor had already entered the mansion in a hurry without anyone to greet him.
Monarchs and ministers meet halfway.
Su Che could only lie on the stretcher and couldn't get up. When he saw the emperor, he said anxiously, "The emperor redeemed his sins, and I cannot bow down."
The emperor came to the stretcher in a few steps, Madam Su immediately stepped back to avoid it, he grasped Su Che's hand and said repeatedly, "Ai Qing, you don't need to be polite, you have worked hard, I want to thank you for the tens of thousands of people in Southern Qi you."
