Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Born in the royal family, sometimes it is involuntary.

Ming Tan has no desire to pursue power.She looks forward to, and even yearns for a carefree life, but she has done too many things for herself and the people, and she has gained too much fame—even if she has no intention of being the throne, she will still be a thorn in the eyes of others The thorn in the flesh, why not take a risk and fight for it?

In the final analysis, I am still much luckier than Big Emperor Brother.Ming Tan thought.

Ming Yan showed extraordinary talent when he was young, and he was the eldest son born in the middle palace, so it was only logical that he be established as the crown prince.His edge was revealed too early, and before his wings were fully developed, he had already become the perfect heir to the great line in the minds of many people.Under such circumstances, it was a devastating blow to Concubine Wan's mother and son who were determined to seize the heir at the time, so they took the risk and found an opportunity to attack Ming Yan, taking the lead in getting rid of this formidable enemy who hadn't really grown up yet. .

But Mingtan is different.

She is a woman and a princess, so she is not a threat to the throne by nature; what's more, the emperor, Lin Shurong and others are all in to escort her. Compared with Ming Yan, her road to the throne is really easy. times ten thousand times——

"Yes. I can't lose."

After being depressed for a while, under Lin Shurong's relief, Ming Tan finally stabilized his mind, raised his hand to hug the other's shoulder, and said slowly, "For you, I must not lose."

"..."

Lin Shurong drooped her eyelashes and was silent for a while. Although she was a little relieved in her heart, she couldn't laugh no matter what.

From the very beginning, she understood that His Highness actually did not want to be involved in this struggle for the throne...

"The matter of His Highness the Crown Prince, I have kept it a secret since I received the secret letter, but I only told His Highness." After a long time, Lin Shurong sighed silently, stroked Ming Tan's hair, and said softly, "But Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Third Highness..."

"When the ban expires, I will go and say it myself."

Ming Tan's fingertips tightened, and he unconsciously grabbed Lin Shurong's skirt, and said dryly, "Even if they are many years late, they still have the right to know the truth."

——However, it is a pity that although what is said in the secret letter is well-organized, there is still a lack of conclusive evidence.

"It's hard to go back to the past. The people who went to the south of the Yangtze River with Brother Dahuang have changed a few times, and there is not even a sign left." Ming Tan unconsciously clenched his fingertips and shook his head, "Even if I am now If you want to investigate, it will probably have little effect."

"Perhaps we can start with this letter."

Lin Shurong stretched out his hand, clicked on the secret letter on the table, stared and said: "This letter is of great importance, but it was not directly delivered to His Majesty or His Highness himself, but was sent to the Lin Mansion first, and then I specifically asked me to hand it over— —From this, it can be inferred that the sender is probably not someone from the palace.”

"I think so too," Ming Tan nodded, "Furthermore, this person must know you and me very well and the relationship between us, that's why he dares to disclose such important matters, and believes that you will enter immediately." The palace told me."

"But Your Highness and I have been getting along since then, this matter is not a secret, and the scope is still very wide..."

"At least there is a direction for investigation."

Ming Tan sighed, raised his hand to stroke his forehead and rubbed it, once again clearly aware of his powerlessness.

"The person who stirred up trouble in the court hasn't found out yet... Forget it, the left and right are just villains in the dark. It's nothing to worry about. It's better to assign people to the south of the Yangtze River to thoroughly investigate the case of the eldest brother."

Lin Shurong sighed, stroked her brows with fingertips, and nodded, "I will continue to help you trace the origin of this secret letter, don't worry, Your Highness."

"Well, it's good to have you."

Ming Tan tried his best to touch the corners of his lips, but in the end he failed.She could only reach out to hug him again, put her forehead on Lin Shurong's neck, and said in a low voice, "I just hope that after mother and the others learn the truth...don't be too sad."

a few days later.

Ever since Princess Nine was banned in the palace, the king's party seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. He was fighting high in the court all day long, almost stealing all the limelight, so that no one dared to steal his edge.

And Minghui himself seemed to have won a battle, and he was very proud: after so long, he finally managed to let Mingtan suffer once, how could he not be happy about it?

Moreover, through the persistent contact of the mother and concubine in the past few days, Cheng Guogong, who did not like to see their mother and son, was successfully persuaded, and finally agreed to lend his power to plan for them...

Recently, there have been many happy events.

Thinking of this, Minghui raised his head, looked at the resplendent dragon chair, and sneered secretly twice in his heart.

To fulfill his grand plan, troops are essential.And Chengguo Duke's Mansion, which is quite close to the imperial palace, is just a good place to hide your strength and bide your time, isn't it?

Ming Hui lowered his head, his eyes were dark, and he was constantly planning in his mind, so he didn't pay attention to the movement in the hall for a while.It wasn't until there was a sudden commotion around him, and many people turned their heads in surprise, that he was taken aback, recovered from his thoughts, frowned and glanced at the people beside him: "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." The man next to him was a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Officials, who was staring forward blankly at this moment, and pointed blankly, "Master Wen, why...?"

Sir Wen?

Minghui was taken aback, then turned his head abruptly, and sure enough, he saw Wen Chaozheng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, taking a step forward, as if he was about to play, and he was even more surprised than the minister next to him.

Wen Chao, a man, has always kept a low profile in the court, and has never played for important matters.Although he is in a high position, his sense of presence in the court is not as good as that of the most low-ranking officials. Only when communicating with him in private can he realize how smooth and exquisite this person is, which is simply impossible to control.

For this point, Minghui has a great say.

Ever since Wen Chao returned triumphantly from Yuanzhou as an imperial envoy, he approached him immediately, wanting to insinuate about the disaster relief situation in Yuanzhou and whether there was any money to be made from it... But unexpectedly, the former's tone was unexpectedly It was extremely rigorous, beyond Minghui's imagination: except for some well-known superficial information, he didn't get any words from Wen Chao's mouth, and he couldn't get anything out of the bureaucratic accents that came and went that day. Among them, analyze whether the other party intends to surrender to himself.

If it is said that the entire staff department has long been under Ming Hui's command, then Wen Chao is the biggest variable.

But fortunately, Mr. Wen is well-recognized by civil and military courts as smooth and exquisite, and he knows how to make the second prince feel at ease—even if he never obviously showed any intention of submitting, his every move is often in line with Minghui's wishes. If you get something good from outside, you will donate it to the Qianwang Palace, and you will try to reduce your presence when you go to court, and you will never show off indiscriminately, which is much more worry-free than those chattering idiots.

But now-

Ming Hui frowned, staring at the back of Wen Chao who suddenly appeared out of the queue, his eyes were half strange and half wary.

I haven't heard of any major events happening recently. This is not in line with Wen Chao's usual style...

"Your Majesty, this minister has written a note."

At this time, when Wen Chao stepped forward, even the emperor gave him a rare look, nodded, "Wen Aiqing, you must play."

Wen Chao smiled slightly, held the wat board, bowed respectfully to the bottom, and said slowly: "I tell you, when I was in Yuanzhou for disaster relief, I became friends with the newly appointed magistrate in the city by chance; After returning to the capital, he still had correspondence with him, which has not been interrupted for many days." After briefly explaining the background, he paused slightly, with a more serious tone, and continued, "This magistrate recently sent a letter to my minister. In the letter, a strange incident was mentioned: the winter sun in Yuanzhou City was shining brightly in winter, and it was getting warmer slightly. Near the mountain, it has been raining and snowing continuously for days, and is often shrouded in thick fog, which can't be seen clearly from a distance, which is really strange..."

As soon as Wen Chao's words fell, before the others could react, the emperor's expression changed slightly, and he stood up abruptly from the dragon chair, his tone of surprise was so surprising that he couldn't hide it, "—half sunny, half snow, Fog covered the mountains? Are you serious?!"

"This is written by the magistrate of Yuanzhou himself." Wen Chao didn't dare to betray, and immediately nodded affirmatively, "He was transferred from the border customs. He has been in office for less than three years, and he doesn't know much about Yuanshan. He has never seen such a strange thing. Scenery... But the minister is not talented, and as a Beijing official, I have heard it somewhat: According to historical records, Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty was summoned by the five-color Qingyun to hold the ceremony of enshrining Zen in Yuanshan. , The miraculous phenomenon that the sun is shining brightly in the city!"

After what he said, many talents showed a look of sudden realization, and there were whispers in the hall: "The sage kings of all dynasties went to Yuanshan to enshrine Zen, all of them were inspired by the five-colored clouds, but only recorded in the period of Emperor Wu. All kinds of visions before Qingyun appeared..."

"Yuanshan's five-color Qingyun is well-known to everyone, but its precursors are seldom known. Mr. Wen has really read the history books! When His Majesty said 'half clear, half snow, and thick fog covering the mountains', I didn't think of it at all!"

"So...if this is really a sign of the five-colored clouds, then wouldn't our dynasty also have a sage who enshrines Zen in Yuanshan?!"

"Your Majesty is wise and benevolent, the world is prosperous and peaceful, and the white fox Xiangrui was born before, and this time it will definitely be right, it must be the five-color celebration cloud!"

Sure enough, at the stall where everyone was discussing, Qin Tianjian in the corner of the main hall suddenly came out, respectfully bowed down to the emperor and said: "Report to Your Majesty—because this vision only appeared in the previous Emperor Wudi. It is impossible to confirm the authenticity, so Qin Tianjian did not dare to report this matter to you after receiving Lord Wen's note, so as not to misrepresent it, and please forgive me..."

The emperor waved his hand, "Be flat. I know the rules of the Qin Tianjian, so I won't blame you." After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Wen Chao, with a rare eagerness in his tone, "But Wen Aiqing specifically mentioned this today. Something, could it be..."

"Just as His Majesty expected!"

Wen Chao smiled and raised his tone correspondingly. He knelt down on the ground and made a big salute. He sounded very festive and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! There is an urgent report from Yuanzhou to Beijing this morning. News: On the top of Yuanshan Mountain, five-colored celebration clouds appeared, with red, gold, blue, white, and black as the gathering, which is a sign of great auspiciousness!——This is the omen of His Majesty's virtuous and benevolent, virtuous to the mountain mausoleum. Such as the blessings of the heavens—the ministers are very happy and encouraged, and implore your majesty to go to Yuanshan to perform the ceremony of enshrining Zen!"

Hearing this, all the ministers were also very clever, and hurriedly kowtowed and said in a loud voice: "I implore Your Majesty to go to Yuanshan to perform the Zen ceremony!"

"..."

The tsunami-like petitions in the hall continued to sound, and everyone was jubilant for the upcoming political achievements.But the emperor looked at this scene, but he couldn't help sighing slightly, and he didn't agree to it as they thought, but said in a deep voice: "The ceremony of enshrining Zen in Yuanshan has been done by an emperor through the ages, or it can be done by one emperor. The Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty may be the emperor for me. The ancestors... I think that my achievements are not high, the people's livelihood is not safe, and I am not as rich and rich as Wen Jing, and I am not as good as Zhenguan. "

Everyone did not expect His Majesty to have such a reaction. As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were silent, and they couldn't help turning their heads to look at each other.

The five-colored clouds all appeared, which was a sure omen of Feng Chan. Your Majesty is still so...why so cautious?

However, everyone knows that Tian Zi seems to have a good temper and is good at accepting advice, but as long as it is something he believes, it is always difficult to change, and no one can persuade him.

If His Majesty is too stubborn to come out at this moment, and is determined not to go to Fengchan, what will happen to their political achievements?

You can't waste Wuse Qingyun in vain!

As a result, a large number of courtiers looked around, and immediately began to scramble to persuade the emperor, flattering the emperor, but the latter remained unmoved, insisting that he "cannot be compared with the meritorious deeds of the ancestors", which made the ministers all frown. I held my breath, but I had nowhere to vent it for a while.

At any rate, they have been officials in the court for so long, and they have a [-]% understanding of the emperor's temperament. They know that the other party has always worked hard to rule and become the eternal emperor who will be praised by later generations.

Originally, Yuanshan Fengchan was a good opportunity...but now, His Majesty resolutely refuses, he must be afraid that if he goes to Fengchan now, he will not be able to create a comparable Emperor Wu and Tai in the future.In the peaceful and prosperous age of the ancestors at that time-Mingjun's reputation was gone, but later generations would catch this point and ridicule him every day, and scolded him for being "pretentious and arrogant", so what is good?

It's better to be more cautious and not go at all, maybe at least there will be a "modest and courteous" approval in the annals of history...

It really is a deep horn!

This time, the ministers guessed the Holy Will to the fullest, but they didn't know how to persuade the stubborn Majesty.They came forward in turns like a wheel battle, talking dryly, but the emperor still went in his left ear and out his right ear, and when he saw that they were almost exhausted, he said "I have made up my mind", and got up to leave the court. ——

Suddenly, Lord Wen Chao, who played at the beginning, came out again, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, stay here, and please listen to my words!"

The emperor paused, turned his head to look at him, but reluctantly gave Wen Chao a face, "Just tell me."

"According to what I see, the presence of auspicious clouds in this world is a universal blessing. It is not only a compliment from the heavens to His Majesty, but also a symbol of the abundance of talents in our dynasty and the stability of the people. It is of the same lineage as the white fox Xiangrui that appeared in the Dongfeng paddock earlier. been confirmed."

Wen Chao arched his hands, and said in a very firm tone: "And if I remember correctly...the one who discovered the auspiciousness at that time should be His Royal Highness Ninth Princess?" Although this sentence ended with a question, it was obvious that he had already made up his mind The answer, after only a slight pause, continued immediately, "The Ninth Princess has double cultivation of blessing and wisdom, she has unrivaled wisdom and enlightenment, she has made great achievements in stabilizing the capital, and has won the admiration of thousands of people. She can be called the chosen daughter of heaven! This time Yuanshan Qingyunling God, it must not only show His Majesty's benevolence, virtue and wisdom, but also the blessings of the Nine Princesses. In this case, Your Majesty, why don't you go to Yuanshan together with the Nine Princesses, and go to "Dengfeng to report to heaven and descend to Zen" What about the ceremony of removing the ground, and the second auspicious omen for the whole dynasty?"

Mr. Wen's nonsense came out as soon as he opened his mouth. This talk was so mechanical that many people were dumbfounded when they heard it. Many ministers rolled up their sleeves and wanted to refute, but they were grabbed by the arms of the colleagues behind them. He gestured with his eyes to keep silent and look up.

These people were stunned for a moment, and they looked up one after another, only to see that the emperor, who had been slandered by them just now but remained indifferent, now showed a very obvious expression of hesitation under Wen Chao's persuasion.

Ministers: "..."

As soon as you talk about taking the nine princesses to Fengchan, can this matter be considered?

Do you want to be so daughter-in-law!His Majesty!
