Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

On the day when the dynasty was restored on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the grand occasion on Fangji Street had already spread throughout the entire capital, and even some surrounding towns had heard about it.

And in the court hall, as Ming Tan expected, all the censors lined up to play to the emperor as if they were building a regiment. It was also suggested that the nine princesses should be confined in the palace for this matter, and they had to memorize "The Commandments for Women" for a few days before giving up.

However, the officials of the Yonghui Party were also not vegetarians. They scolded the censors one after another, and counted the achievements of the nine princesses in gathering the hearts of the people and accumulating prestige for the court. The words were singled out and analyzed, and they challenged those censors with the strongest lip service like a wheel battle, but they still didn't lose the wind.

Today, on the eighth day of the lunar new year, seeing that Ming Tan did not come to the court, the petty moves of the royal party became more obvious, and he came out from time to time to stir up trouble, to help the few and weak censors, and to make the two sides argue more intensely , I am happy to watch the show.

This is not a good opportunity to attack Princess Nine.

Not to mention anything else, even Minghui himself knew it well: on Fangji Street, although Mingtan acted a bit recklessly and almost caused a disturbance by accident, in the end, the situation was stabilized by the Imperial Army under her hands. , and also created such a grand occasion where thousands of people came out to pay their respects to Princess Yonghui's true face.

She dug the hole by herself and filled it, and there was the emperor's father on top of her head to protect her. No matter how critical she was, at most, she could only suffer a painless death. Of course, Minghui would not hesitate to pick her head.

As a result, the Qianwang Party refused to increase its firepower, and the momentum of the Yonghui Party increased exceptionally.Those censors are really suffering and can’t tell, but it’s their job to impeach Wanwu. Besides, they have been scolding for a long time, and they can’t change their words easily, so they have to bite the bullet and continue to quarrel. No one wants to bear the responsibility of dereliction of duty. , The bad reputation of grass falling with the wind.

In this way, you come and go, quarreling like a cross talk for the whole morning, seeing the faces of the censors full of shame, getting weaker and weaker, without any half of their usual prestige, the emperor is finally satisfied He sighed a little, waved his big hand, and finally let them escape the torture of dry mouth and tongue.

"The nine princesses, Mingtan, came to the people in person this time, and they were able to enjoy themselves with the people. They were admired by thousands of people, but they still didn't take credit for it. On the contrary, they took credit for the imperial court every single sentence. It's really a pure heart—"

After hearing these four words, Minghui, who hadn't spoken for a long time, almost rolled his eyes.

Good-natured?

Could it be that the father is old and confused?

If you really want to talk about xinxing, I'm afraid even he is more than ten times purer than that Ming Tan!

"...Although it is inappropriate to almost cause an accident because of gathering the people together, the merit is far greater than the fault. In my opinion, it must be rewarded generously," the emperor looked at the people in the hall and asked in a deep voice, " What do you guys think?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

As soon as the words fell, a large group of the Yonghui Party, which had been prepared for a long time, knelt down, led by Zhong He, and thanked each other loudly. Jing. If His Majesty punishes you instead of rewarding, wouldn’t that chill the hearts of many people in the capital? Therefore, the Ninth Princess should be greatly rewarded!”

"What Zhong Aiqing said is true." The emperor nodded deeply, and he had already made up his mind, but he still deliberately asked the censor next to him, "Master Liu, Lord Xu, and Lord He, what do you three think? "

These three are all the most eloquent characters among the speech officials, and they were the ones who scolded the most fiercely just now, but now they all look like roosters who have lost a fight, their faces are pale, and their voices are unbearably hoarse , swallowed his anger and said: "The minister...the ministers think that Mr. Zhong is justified and should be rewarded, but they can't be punished at all, so as not to let the nine princesses be too..."

Before he could finish his words, the emperor turned his head mercilessly, clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and said, "Okay! Since there is no objection from all your lovers, I will immediately decree that Yuanzhou will be awarded to the Nine Princesses tomorrow." Tan, order him to take the fief as a reward!"

manor? !

As soon as the reward came out, the censors all turned pale with shock, and even some officials of the Yonghui Party unconsciously looked at each other with extremely astonished expressions.

Since the founding of Tiancheng, only princes or clans who have been crowned kings can have their own city lands. Has there ever been a precedent for assigning titles to princesses?

"Your Majesty! Think twice, Your Majesty! This move violates the ancient rules, and there is still a sacred mountain in Yuanzhou, how can you easily award it to the Ninth Princess?"

"This kind of reward is too generous, it must not be allowed, I implore Your Majesty to take it back!"

The censors were very emotional, and many cadres also followed Minghui's suggestion to speak out against it.However, the emperor didn't even care about them at all. He just waved his hand like chasing flies, and continued the unfinished words just now: "Besides, because the princess shouted to the people, 'I wish you heaven and peace forever'. In a word, it is inspiring, so I will specially issue a decree to name that street, and name it 'Shengping Street', to commemorate the grand occasion at that time, and wish me peace in the country and the people, and peace in the world!"

"This this……"

How much prestige should this give Ninth Princess to the folks!

The censors all stared wide-eyed and dumbfounded, completely unable to guess the holy will.

And this same reasoning, the censor who is not good at political affairs can think of it, and Ming Hui, a high-ranking person who has been in officialdom for a long time, can certainly think of it.

The hearts of the people... the hearts of the people...

He frowned secretly, chewing the word over and over again, and then related to the emperor's abnormal attitude towards Ming Tan, and the special features of the latter as a princess...

In an instant, a thought that he didn't dare to think about before suddenly appeared in his mind, which shocked Minghui himself.

——Could it be that the heir to the throne that the emperor really wanted in his father's heart...could be Ming Tan? !

When all possibilities are ruled out, the remaining final result, no matter how incredible it may seem, is still the only answer.

Ming Hui's eyes widened suddenly, and thinking about the current situation that the East Palace had not been established for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this guess might be true.

No wonder, no wonder!

After he figured it out, his palms trembled, half of his heart was filled with unstoppable shock, while the other half was madly surging with anger and ridicule.

Before, they thought that the emperor kept the East Palace vacant because he couldn't let go of the late former crown prince Mingyan, and Minghui's own prestige was not enough...

Originally it was nothing, but when the father died of old age, and the legitimate son Ming Jing was crippled again, wouldn't it be his eldest son's turn to take the throne?

As a result, I found out today that the real reason why the East Palace has no owner is that the emperor had a princess in his heart!

His fingertips couldn't help pinching deeply into his palms, and his eyeballs were gradually covered with bloodshot eyes. Minghui's face was so gloomy that water dripped out, his eyes were like a poisonous snake, secretly staring at the emperor on the dragon chair, wishing to let the other party die immediately sky.

The heroine dominates the world, and the rooster serves as the rooster in the morning?Big joke!

A girl, no matter how smart she is, can she know how to govern the country?Can you understand what is kingly checks and balances?Can you know how to make the world peaceful?

If he really followed the emperor's will and let Ming Tan ascend the throne, I'm afraid that the whole Tiancheng will be ruined by women, and even the surname will be changed in the end!

Minghui gritted his teeth tightly and kept sneering in his heart.

Father, since you are unkind first, don't blame the child for being unrighteous!

……

Guangyang Palace.

"What did you say?!"

There was a sharp exclamation, and the scissors in Concubine Wan's hand, which was pruning plum branches, tilted and almost pierced into her palm.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty intends to make Ming Tan the emperor?"

Concubine Wan turned her head sharply, her eyes widened, and she categorically denied: "Impossible! It is against the destiny for the princess to ascend the throne! In the previous dynasty, Emperor Dezhen had also intended to make Princess Xuanji the crown princess, but the will was rejected. Without the award, the Yuheng Palace built for the latter was struck by a thunderbolt, directly destroying the main palace! This is the final punishment of heaven, and it has been recorded in the history books by the former Qin Tianjian. Your Majesty will not know— —”

However, under the gaze of her son, Concubine Wan's originally firm tone gradually became hesitant, her lips began to tremble, "No, it's impossible...impossible..."

"Mother and concubine, I didn't want to believe it before, but judging from all the actions of my father and Ming Tan, this is the truth."

Ming Hui took a step forward, knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Wan's sleeve tightly, with a sad expression on his face.

"...For so many years, no matter how hard I try, my father has never paid attention to me—he even considered a cripple or a woman for the dragon chair, but he has never seen me, a hard-working ruler, in his eyes. Second Prince!"

He gritted his teeth, feeling deeply, his eyes unconsciously filled with a layer of mist, and said with tears of blood: "When Ming Yan was here in the past, all the civil and military courts praised him for his exquisite seven orifices. The material is born to be the material to inherit the great line; Later, we finally studied and set up a scheme to let him die in the south of the Yangtze River, faked a seamless accident, and even the father failed to find any clues... But this time it is still the same. It's not my turn..."

Concubine Wan pursed her lips, her face was half distressed and half entangled, as if she wanted to blame her son for blurting out this big secret that had been buried for many years, but she was really uncomfortable in her heart, so she had to hold his hand, sighed and murmured Muttered: "Hui'er..."

"After Mingyan, the first thing that the father considered was Mingjing, the second son of the middle palace!" Minghui heard the restraining intention in the tone of the mother and concubine, but turned a deaf ear to it, and said in a hateful voice, "Fortunately, here is Once, even God helped me, making him a cripple within a short period of time, completely disqualified from competing for the crown prince—this time, the emperor finally began to use me again, and sent me to Qianzhou to work on a job. The Ministry of Officials, presided over the reception of Qiang Mi's envoys... I thought that this time the crown prince was finally within my grasp, but after so many years, I am still just a prince! I am still under the feet of a princess and cannot lift my head!"

Minghui's eyes were red, and the moment the anger accumulated in his heart broke out, it seemed like a prairie fire, burning his mind to the point of losing all reason.

"Ming Tan, Ming Tan... No matter how clever and beautiful she is, no matter how popular she is, she is just a girl, how can she become a great treasure? Father is really confused—— confused!"

Hearing her son's long hiss in pain, looking at the tears that fell from his eyes unknowingly, Concubine Wan could not help feeling like a knife was piercing her heart, she stroked the other's shoulder tremblingly, and she also burst into tears: "Your Majesty is really confused... ... You and I, mother and son, have worked so hard for so many years, but they can't catch his eyes... He can only see the Kunning Palace without any scheming!"

Shen Ruofu has been in the palace for many years and became a noble concubine, but she has never even touched a corner of the phoenix seal. How could she not resent the empress who is always pressing on her head?

As early as many years ago, after the emperor made Ming Yan the crown prince, she swore a poisonous oath that she would be at odds with Kunning Palace for the rest of her life!

"Mother Concubine, you have taught my son--" Ming Hui's face was gloomy, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, it was so low and frighteningly cold.

"Those who want to achieve great things must be ruthless and get rid of all emotional distractions in order to reach the summit."

He firmly held Concubine Wan's hand, and suddenly raised his eyes, the emotions in his eyes were complicated, but in the end, the bone-chilling hatred still prevailed.

"Now, it's time to be ruthless!"

Concubine Wan's heart skipped a beat, she opened her eyes wide and understood the hidden meaning of her son's words almost instantly.

Although her scheming plans are all excellent and she has countless lives in her hands, she still shows a bit of timidity in the face of such a major event that can kill the nine clans, and shakes her head hesitantly: "No, that's it!" After all, it's too risky... We have also attacked Ming Yan before, and now we can add another Ming Tan, as long as we do it as invisible as before..."

"Mother and concubine, why are you so naive now!" Minghui interrupted her mercilessly, and said angrily, "Based on the current care of Mingtan by the father and the various forces around him, Prime Minister Lin's residence , the imperial army, the household department, the queen's mother's family... Even the Dingyuan General's Mansion, where Concubine Yi was born, has favored her many times. Is she a person we can easily attack? Besides, the previous big emperor brother, It just so happened that he went to the south of the Yangtze River on a business trip, which gave us an opportunity to order people to lie in ambush on the suburban roads that we must pass through to assassinate... But now, Ming Tan never goes out alone, and the capital is wrapped up like an iron barrel by the forbidden army The same, how can we have a chance to start?"

"But……"

"Mother Concubine! Don't be obsessed with it anymore!"

Minghui sighed deeply, and turned his eyes away, after all, he took a strong dose of medicine.

"My son knew that when you were still in your boudoir, you had wholeheartedly admired your father, and after Jiji, you even took the initiative to ask to enter the palace as a concubine... But you have been in the palace for so many years, you must have already understood: Father doesn't love you at all. Any concubine, even the Queen Gu who he personally proposes to marry! What he loves most in this life is to govern the country, govern the country, and add Mingtan at most—" Ming Hui gritted his teeth, and said unbearably, "Except for this Besides, he has nothing in his heart, and he also has no place for you, concubine mother!"

He clenched his fists tightly, staring at the beautiful and gentle woman in front of him, but her beauty was no longer there, and said in a trembling tone: "You have already buried yourself in this palace for more than 20 years. Repentance, is it because you want to be a concubine for the rest of your life, and you won't be able to sit in the coveted position until you die!"

"..."

Concubine Wan was shocked, turned her eyes suddenly, looked at her son who had exposed her old scars, and shook her head reflexively, "No... I don't want to..."

"Then accompany my minister to give it a go." Minghui said solemnly, "After the great cause is accomplished, this minister will definitely kowtow and worship you three times, welcome you as the empress dowager, and give you the highest honor!"

——The Empress Dowager is also a posthumous person.

It has to be said that even though she still has an infatuated love for the emperor in her heart, Concubine Wan is really moved by her son's proposal.

Well said.She didn't want to die as a concubine, and she didn't want to be trampled underfoot by that woman Gu Ying forever!

"...Okay. The concubine mother promises you."

Concubine Wan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand to grab Minghui's shoulder, and promised: "In the morning of tomorrow, I will immediately write to your grandfather, inviting him to discuss important matters..."

"Mother Concubine," Ming Hui also nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice, "Whether it's success or failure, it's all about now!"
