After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

The news that the new emperor had become a monk quickly spread throughout the court and the country.

The next day when the court was in session, there was no one sitting on the dragon throne.

The left and right prime ministers all looked at Chu Yanchen, and all the ministers followed suit and looked at him.

Just as the Left Prime Minister was about to speak, Chu Yanchen said, "The Emperor left a decree of succession behind the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming"."

All the ministers looked at the plaque.

Chu Yanchen ordered someone to go up and get the imperial edict, and the eunuch presented the edict to Chu Yanchen.

Chu Yanchen's eyes quickly swept over the imperial edict, and his expression was quite complicated for a moment. He pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but did not open his mouth.

Seeing his strange expression, the prime ministers were puzzled... No, what did Prince Jing's conflicted expression mean?

Didn’t the new emperor abdicate the throne to Prince Jing?

Is Prince Jing happy or unhappy?

Chu Yanchen handed the imperial edict to the left and right prime ministers. The left and right prime ministers took it together and looked at the imperial edict at the same time.

The other court officials, led by the left and right prime ministers, also wanted to quickly see what was written in the imperial edict.

But Prince Jing and the two prime ministers were here, so they did not dare to act presumptuously.

However, the extremely anxious looks and slightly rapid breathing of the ministers showed their inner anxiety at the moment.

"This……"

"Your Highness Prince Jing, this imperial edict..."

After reading the imperial edict, the left and right prime ministers looked at Chu Yanchen with strange eyes.

No, what exactly was written in the imperial edict?

The court officials were almost scratching their heads!

What on earth are these three talking about?

Let them know soon!

Chu Yanchen nodded slightly, "Since it is the emperor's order, please ask the left prime minister to read the imperial edict."

The Left Prime Minister took a deep breath and calmed himself. He unfolded the imperial edict with both hands, faced the court officials, and read it aloud.

The emperor first blamed himself, saying that no matter how virtuous and talented he was, he was not a good choice for a wise ruler.

Moreover, he had no interest in the world and just wanted to forget the mundane affairs. But among his cousins, Chu Jingyou was superior to him in both virtue and talent.

And with the assistance of Prince Jing and a group of trusted ministers, Chu Jingyou will surely become a famous monarch.

Therefore, he abdicated the throne to Chu Jingyou and entrusted the heavy responsibility of the country to his cousin.

……

Prince Jing transformed himself from regent to emperor emeritus.

After the Left Prime Minister read out the imperial edict, he and the Right Prime Minister knelt down side by side to pay homage to the Emperor.

All the ministers also hurriedly knelt down and bowed to the emperor.

Jingyou was escorted from Prince Jing's Mansion to the palace by the Dragon Shadow Guards and ascended the throne as emperor.

Chu Xiyuan's imperial edict of abdication seems outrageous... Prince Jing is clearly here, but he doesn't want to abdicate to Prince Jing, but instead wants to abdicate to Prince Jing's son?

But when you think about it carefully, it seems wonderful.

Prince Jing could have sat on the throne himself, but he pushed Chu Xiyuan to it.

It can be seen that he really has no intention of taking the throne.

Or maybe there was some agreement between him and the late emperor that made him unwilling to sit in that position no matter what.

But just because he doesn’t want to sit doesn’t mean his son can’t sit!

Chu Jingyou is intelligent, strong-willed, and has extraordinary talent at a young age.

I heard that when he was Chu Xiyuan's study partner, he performed better than the older Chu Xiyuan, whether listening to the teacher's explanations or reciting classics.

Besides, he has Prince Jing to protect him and his two uncles standing firm in the court.

I heard that he had two cousins ​​with the surname Qi. One was a wealthy businessman from Beili, a tycoon in the business world. He immediately distributed grain and money throughout the country to celebrate with the people.

The other is Princess Huihe's adopted son, and Princess Huihe still holds considerable weight in the hearts of the old ministers.

On the second day after Chu Jingyou ascended the throne, Princess Huihe went to the palace to pay homage to the new emperor, which made her attitude clear.

There are followers of King Cheng, the Third Prince, who are secretly making trouble.

Chu Xiyuan's maternal family - the former Queen Mother's family were clearly dissatisfied.

But Chu Xiyuan was determined to follow Master Huijue and leave the capital.

The former queen mother chased after him, crying and begging him to stay, "Your father is gone, and you want to leave too, leaving your mother alone in Kyoto?"

"How can you be so cruel? How can I live?"

Chu Xiyuan remained expressionless and chanted "Amitabha".

"Female donor, I have left the mortal world behind. I cannot repay your kindness in raising me. I will recite sutras and pray for you every day in the future."

"Please go back. Everyone has their own destiny. Everything is determined by fate."

"The relationship between you and me as mother and son has ended. From now on, take care of yourself."

The former empress dowager fainted from crying, but he left without looking back.

It is said that there was a rebel group that wanted to kidnap him and use his name to fight for the throne.

But when they started to take action, the leader was killed by a group of guards who came and went without a trace and were as elusive as a dragon.

Without the leaders, the rebels were just a mob. Because of the uneven distribution of profits, they fought among themselves for a while, suffered many casualties, and finally disbanded.

……

On a street corner in Kyoto, there lived a crazy female beggar.

She squatted there, gnawing on half a hard sesame bun she had just picked up, listening to the discussions on the street.

She paused in her munching on the sesame cake and looked up at the passerby who had just passed by.

"Song Mingli...Empress Dowager?"

"She is my sister-in-law! How did she become the queen mother?"

The beggar girl's mumbling was heard by the two little beggars nearby.

The two little beggars couldn't help but spit at her, "You, you call me sister-in-law? Is your brother the Prince Jing?"

"Oh, no, now he should be called the Emperor!"

"If your brother is the emperor, wouldn't you be a princess?"

"Bah! You lazy and bad beggar girl, you still want to be a princess? Why don't you go to heaven!"

This beggar girl was none other than Gu Lingyi who was abandoned by the Li family.

However, she no longer had a husband's family that made her proud, no family of her parents that helped her, and no sister-in-law who allowed her to take benefits while looking down on her.

She was once "forced to marry" by a butcher, but the butcher abandoned her when he found out that she was unable to give birth to a child and was seriously ill.

An old beggar picked her up, dug herbs for her, and saved her life with the food he begged for.

But that serious illness left her face rotten and disfigured.

It is said among the beggars that she has a disease...If you have sex with her, you will get infected.

Therefore, even beggars looked down on her.

Gu Lingyi did not argue with the two little beggars. She couldn't help but think back to the past... when she was not married yet, her sister-in-law was like an elder sister to her.

Love her, pamper her, and keep the most beautiful clothes and jewelry around her.

But she gradually developed greed... She was jealous that her sister-in-law was prettier than her, she was jealous that her sister-in-law's family gave her so much dowry, she even hated her sister-in-law for giving birth to a son? !

If my sister-in-law doesn’t have a son, then all her dowry will be hers!

Since when did hatred and greed grow in her heart, causing her and her sister-in-law to grow further apart?

yes, Sir!

Yes, it’s all my brother’s fault!

It was her elder brother and that Su Yi who destroyed everything for her.

If she died and went there and saw her elder brother...she would definitely tell her elder brother everything that happened now! Tell Su Yi!

Tell them that Song Mingli is living a better life now after leaving the Gu family!

Song Mingli's son became emperor!

And Song Mingli is the most noble woman in the world, she is the extremely noble Empress Dowager!

I heard that the emperor was very filial and would pay his respects to the empress dowager every day and ask about her well-being.

I heard that the Emperor is devoted and always takes the Empress Dowager with him wherever he goes...

"Hey! Beggar girl! You don't want to eat the sesame cake anymore?"

"If you don't want to eat it, can I take it away?"

The two little beggars pushed Gu Lingyi.

Her body tilted and she fell into the corner, without a sound.

"Ah! She's dead!"

"Don't touch the pancakes she has bitten. They are dirty! They can make you sick!"
