Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying
Chapter 364: Early Succession
Emperor Xuanwu frowned and fell into deep thought.
On the one hand, he had feelings for Lin Wan'er, but on the other hand, he felt that what Eunuch Li said made sense.
Seeing that Emperor Xuanwu was wavering, Eunuch Li hurriedly continued to persuade him, "Your Majesty, you have devoted all your efforts to this country for many years. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is time for you to make great plans. If you abdicate now, how can you be worthy of our ancestors?"
Emperor Xuanwu sighed and said slowly: "I know this too, but it's just that I can't let go of this emotional thing."
Eunuch Li knelt down and took a few steps forward, saying, "Your Majesty, as long as you can keep your throne firmly and properly handle the matter with Lin Wan'er, you may be able to achieve the best of both worlds."
Emperor Xuanwu was silent for a long time, and finally waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I will think about this matter again. You get up first."
Eunuch Li then stood up with a sense of relief, but he was still nervous, wondering what decision the emperor would make in the end.
After King Chen left the study, he went straight to Bai Qianqian's yard.
Seeing his unconcealed smile, Bai Qianqian was full of doubts and couldn't help asking, "What good thing did your Highness encounter today that makes you so happy?"
King Chen just shook his head, his smile still persisting, and he refused to reveal a single word.
Emperor Xuanwu could not contain his concern for Lin Wan'er and went to see her again.
When the two met, although there was joy in Lin Wan'er's eyes, there was also deep inferiority and uneasiness.
She said softly, "Master, Wan'er is just a divorced woman. She is not worthy of your love."
Emperor Xuanwu hurriedly comforted him, "Don't say that about yourself. In my heart, you are very good."
They had a great time together that day, and Emperor Xuanwu was reluctant to return to the palace until nightfall.
After returning to the palace, Emperor Xuanwu seemed to have made an important decision.
He immediately ordered Eunuch Li to prepare writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
Eunuch Li did not dare to delay and quickly prepared everything.
Emperor Xuanwu wrote three secret letters in a row.
After writing, he handed the letter to Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li took the letter, took a glance at it, and his expression changed instantly.
These three letters were actually all sent to the capital, one to the right prime minister, one to the left prime minister, and the other to the prince.
Although he had guessed in his heart that the emperor might pass the throne to the prince, Eunuch Li remained silent and dared not say anything.
He nodded silently, then retreated respectfully and quickly arranged for the Dragon Guard to secretly return to the capital to deliver the letter.
Eunuch Li walked out of the room, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and secretly wondered what kind of uproar the emperor's move would cause.
But he knew very well that as a slave, he could only obey the emperor's orders and dared not overstep his authority in the slightest.
Emperor Xuanwu in the room heaved a long sigh of relief after Eunuch Li left, as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart, but his eyes still revealed some complicated emotions.
Because of an incident in the palace that year, he missed his beloved woman.
This time, he won't miss it again.
There is nothing wrong with abdicating now.
Eat well, drink well, and be accompanied by your loved ones.
Don't worry about national affairs.
I feel that coming out this time is the most correct decision.
Five days later, in the capital.
The Right Prime Minister was flipping through a book in his own study when Dragon Guard came in and presented him with a secret letter.
The right prime minister put down the book in his hand and took the letter in confusion.
When he saw the contents of the letter clearly, his eyes suddenly widened and he stood still as if struck by lightning.
His lips trembled slightly, and his hands were tightly holding the letter, his knuckles turning white from the force.
"This...how is this possible? Why would the emperor suddenly..." he muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief and shock.
At this time, Zuo Xiang was leisurely feeding fish in his own courtyard when Long Wei handed the letter to him.
He didn't care at first and opened the envelope casually, but as soon as his eyes fell on the words on the letter, his face turned pale instantly.
The fish food in his hand fell to the ground, but he ignored it and stared at the letter, muttering: "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible..."
His body trembled involuntarily, as if the content of the letter broke all his expectations.
Although the two were shocked, they quickly made a decision and went to the palace to meet the prince.
When the prince received the letter in the Eastern Palace, he was discussing academic matters with his tutor.
He opened the envelope, his expression calm at first, but as his eyes moved across the letter paper.
His expression became increasingly solemn, and finally he became extremely shocked, and the letter paper in his hand began to tremble slightly.
Tutor Shen was very confused when he saw the prince's expression. Could it be that something had happened to the emperor?
Just as he was thinking this, the prince handed over the letter in his hand, "Teacher, take a look."
Master Shen took the letter and his eyes widened as he read it, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Your Majesty... Why is Your Majesty passing on the throne now?"
The prince shook his head. How would he know?
The letter only said that he should succeed to the throne.
Imperial Edict My father had written the imperial edict of succession long ago, and it was above the beam of the imperial study.
The Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister met at the palace gate.
The two looked at each other, understood each other, and went straight into the palace to find the prince with the letter.
Along the way, both of them felt extremely heavy-hearted and walked in a hurry.
When they arrived at the Eastern Palace, the prince was pacing anxiously in the hall.
Seeing the Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister coming, he hurried to meet them.
"Have you also received the secret letter from the Emperor?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the left and right prime ministers understood.
The prince must have also received the emperor's secret letter.
The two nodded.
The left prime minister cupped his hands and smiled, "Congratulations, His Royal Highness."
Originally he was worried that this was a test from Emperor Xuanwu.
But after entering the East Palace and hearing the prince's words, there was nothing I couldn't understand.
This was what Emperor Xuanwu had thought of.
It means passing the throne to the crown prince.
As a subject, he has no right to question.
When the right prime minister saw this scene, although he felt uncomfortable, he still said congratulations.
It’s just that he didn’t marry his daughter to the prince.
Even if she was a concubine, she was still a royal relative.
This is a good thing for the old man Bai Qingsong.
The prince took a deep breath and said slowly, "I never thought that my father would suddenly make such a decision. I will need your help in the morning court tomorrow."
The two nodded repeatedly.
The Crown Prince, along with the Left Prime Minister, Right Prime Minister and Grand Tutor Shen, went to the Imperial Study and asked the Imperial Guard, Lord Xiao, to climb up to the beam and take down the imperial edict.
When Lord Xiao took the bright yellow imperial edict, he already had a feeling in his heart.
He handed the imperial edict to the prince with both hands.
The prince took the imperial edict but did not open it. Instead, he held it in his hand, looked at the four people, and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will take out the imperial edict and the secret letter from my father. My two ministers, keep the secret letter from my father."
The left and right prime ministers nodded repeatedly.
After coming out of the palace, the Right Prime Minister whispered to the Left Prime Minister about sending one of their concubine's daughters to the Prince's Palace.
Bai Qingsong smiled and didn't stop him.
Things are different now. The prince is about to ascend the throne, and the harem needs to be filled up.
