The reborn prince is hard to raise

At the court meeting in the 16th year of Jianzhang, Xu Wensong, the elder of the state, Sangong and hundreds of officials jointly wrote a letter, listing the crimes of the crown prince Chengning, admonishing him with death, urging the current emperor to abolish the prince, accept the harem, and give birth to a dragon son , to inherit the country and the country.

The letter said: "Chengning, the crown prince, is the eldest son, and he lives in Ming Dynasty. He teaches "Poems" and "Books", and teaches "Li" and "Le". Zuo. Choose a name and virtue as a teacher, and choose a gentleman as a palace official. However, the mind is dim, and the virtue is full of contempt. How can it be guarded and compiled, bearing the weight of the seven temples? Worrying about the continuation of the ancestral temple of Sheji, the people of the Li people have little interest in millet, and now I am admonishing the emperor, and the crown prince Chengning is abolished as a commoner, and he is not responsible for the country."

"Are you guys trying to force me to abolish the crown prince?" Lu Zezhang closed the memorial, threw it on the Ming Huang imperial case, and looked at the officials in the palace with a gloomy expression.For a moment, there was almost dead silence in the hall.

No one dares to forget that in the early years of Jianzhang, the left and right ministers jointly persuaded him to abolish the position of empress and replace him with a prince, saying that "women's sex is wronging the country" and "the youngest son is a turmoil in the hearts of the people".Today, I go up to the court and behead the heads of the two people, and even kill the three clans.Nearly ten years later, no one dared to offend Long Wei again, openly mentioning the abolition of the reserve and the opening of the harem.

In the wrath of the emperor, millions of dead bodies were buried, and blood flowed for thousands of miles.

However, this time the petition was headed by the current father-in-law, Xu Wensong, the elder of the country. Thinking that the queen has been banned from the Fengyi Palace so far, there was a lot of speculation in the court.An, Wei, and Ning have always been in the same spirit, and this time they seized the opportunity to persuade countless neutral officials to join hands.

"Why, no one dares to answer my words?" Lu Zezhang slowly turned the emerald ring on his thumb, the emperor's deterrence made many courtiers tremble and almost fell to their knees.

Everyone in the palace knew that if the crown prince was abolished, the power in the court would be re-divided.The current emperor is an upright man in his prime, with an empty harem, and only one legitimate son.With the dismissal of the crown prince, the Xu family of Chenjun and the Gu family of Puyang, the family of the princess, will definitely be affected.

At this point, it is time for the powerful family to be divided into upper and lower.

"My lord." Xu Guolao, who was over sixty years old, stood up. He has been weak and sick in recent years, and has been recuperating in the mansion. But I am worried, so I wrote a letter to remonstrate with the sage, why did you say the word 'force'?" He came from the direct line of the Xu family in Chenjun, and his gray hair on the temples is still the same as before.

"The old man doesn't know. I once said that in my lifetime, only the Xu family will be on the phoenix seat, and the prince must be Chengning." He looked at Xu Guolao's upright and awe-inspiring appearance, his voice softened, and his eyes were full of excitement. With sarcasm.Xu Qiwu, do you think this will allow me to abolish Chengning's crown prince?

What is it that makes you suddenly so desperate?

"Your Majesty, the crown prince Cheng Ning is the grandson of this old man, and this old man can't bear it. But with the qualifications of the crown prince, it is really difficult to inherit my Dayong foundation. I hope your majesty will think twice!" He knelt down slowly.Then the ministers in the hall knelt down one after another, and the voice of "Your Majesty, think twice" resounded through the hall.

Lu Zezhang stopped turning his fingers suddenly. He looked at the prostrate officials and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Think twice?" He said sarcastically, "I know more about the prince's qualifications than you. Think twice?"

His eyes were full of hostility. Lu Zezhang was not a soft-hearted and hesitant person. No matter when he led the army to force the palace, beheaded the prince by the sword, or made Chengning the prince to fight against the people of the world, he never hesitated or flinched.

What I hate most in this life is being threatened by others!

"Crown Prince Cheng Ning is fourteen years old, and he is still insane. He doesn't know how to write poems and books, and he doesn't know how to govern the country. Such a crown prince will surely fall into my great danger and danger! And the Crown Princess is powerful. Empress, you will bring disaster to the court, and there will be no peace in the world of Dayong! Your Majesty, you must not abandon the foundation of your ancestors!" Xu Guolao said in a loud voice, his breath was weak, and his voice was so hoarse that it made everyone who heard it tremble.

Lu Zezhang looked at the people kneeling on the ground, feeling angry and deeply tired at the same time. He said in a deep voice, "What else do you want to say, all loves? Let's say it together."

Just when the officials in the palace were hesitating, the announcement of "the Queen's audience" suddenly came from outside the palace. The shrill voice echoed between the jade bricks of the palace wall, and the lingering sound continued.Lu Zezhang looked at the gate of Hanyuan Hall, and suddenly there was a slight interest in his eyes.

Xu Qiwu was dressed in a queen's court dress, her hair was decorated with twelve trees of flowers, and she had two temples.The yellow phoenix robe of the Ming Dynasty is marked with Zhai, and is worn with two phoenix jades.She stepped into the Hanyuan Hall in a dignified manner, like a phoenix in nine heavens, solemn and dignified, luxurious and lingering.

"I remember that the three-month confinement period has not yet expired." Hearing Lu Zezhang's words, Xu Qiwu, who knelt on the ground and saluted, froze, as if he couldn't believe that he would face him directly in the court.

After a few breaths of silence, Xu Qiwu slowly bowed to Lu Zezhang, "Concubine Xu, please speak to Your Majesty, one is to depose the crown prince Chengning as the crown prince; the other is to depose Xu's empress and choose another noble daughter, In charge of the Phoenix seal, the mother respects the world." Her words were decisive, and as soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of countless ministers in the court looked at her suddenly changed, as if they couldn't believe it.

Gu Jiyan glanced at Prime Minister Xie beside him, and saw that his expression was indifferent, as if he had a plan in his chest, so he also restrained his expression, stared at the ground and did not move.

"The reason." Lu Zezhang looked deeply at Xu Qiwu who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly realized that although he had been married to her for several years, he had never really understood this woman.Originally thought that she, like the noble daughters of the Zanying family, was born noble, married into the royal family of the Hou family, and lived a lifetime of glory.

But now I realize that this woman is really stubborn, she can even be said to be courageous and resourceful, and act decisively.

"The crown prince is insane, has no talent and virtue, and is not suitable to inherit the position of prince." Then, she looked at Lu Zezhang on the throne calmly, and each of them said so clearly, "Queen Xu is barren and can't bear to be a queen." , is not a blessing for the country." After speaking, he bowed deeply, "I hope His Majesty will see clearly."

The officials in the hall were dumb for a moment, and after a long time, under the leadership of Sangong, they prostrated themselves and said, "I hope the emperor will see clearly."

It turns out that His Majesty has only had one son, the prince, since he ascended the throne for more than ten years. Is it because the queen can no longer conceive a son?

Lu Zezhang let out a long sigh, "Xu Qiwu, Xu Qiwu, you have really created a problem for me, but you have made your own reputation, what a empress Xu who understands righteousness!"

Lu Zezhang looked at the figure in the bright yellow phoenix robe in the palace, closed his eyes to hide the look in his eyes, and said majesticly, "Queen Xu is deeply worried about the world, and she has great righteousness in her heart. She is the mother of the world. Jin named Xu's father as Zhu Guo , ranked above the Sangong, not hereditary."

Prime Minister Xie Xingzhi looked at Lu Zezhang who was sitting on the throne, His Majesty was probably very angry, right?Zhu Guo is just a vain job, and it is not hereditary, it's just a good name.It's time for this farce to come to an end. Xu's plan to force His Majesty to express his position by acting like this is too loud.

Your Majesty is not the first emperor, he has a soft heart.

Xu Guolao looked at Xu Qiwu who was still kneeling on the ground in the hall, his cough seemed to tear his heart and lungs apart, and the sound of phlegm was faint.Looking at his stubborn daughter with increasingly dizzy eyes, he sighed in his heart, Qiwu, we can't compete!

Xu Qiwu was still kneeling, looking at the shadows on the ground, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, even in such a situation, are you unwilling to let go?Is he worth your maintenance?

Suddenly the hall was quiet, and after a while, I heard Lu Zezhang's indistinct voice, "Prince?"

Xu Qiwu turned his head suddenly when he heard the words, and saw Lu Chengning wearing the bright yellow prince's court clothes, with long hair tied high, deep eyebrows, and hanging sleeves standing in front of the palace gate, looking handsome.Behind him was the scorching sky, which made his entire face fall into the shadow, making it difficult to distinguish clearly.

How could he appear here?Xu Qiwu suddenly felt flustered, his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, his heart tensed.

Lu Chengning glanced at Xu Qiwu who was kneeling in the hall, without looking at her again, stepped forward a few steps and stood behind Xu Qiwu, and then saluted respectfully, "I see my father." calm.Countless eyes gathered on him, with shock and evaluation.

Xie Xingzhi looked at the silhouette of the prince in the palace, and suddenly remembered what Ah Hong told him, "Your Highness, I'm afraid he's awake."

"What's the matter with the prince?" Lu Zezhang looked at Lu Chengning, and suddenly saw the Kasyapa back then. At that time, he also stood in front of him with his eyes silent, neither sad nor happy.Suddenly, Lu Zezhang came back to his senses with a calm expression.

"I heard in the East Palace that all the ministers wrote a letter to abolish the Chu, saying that the minister was 'faint in mind, full of contempt and morality', and even said that if the crown prince becomes the queen, it will definitely bring disaster to the court."

From the corner of his eye, he glanced towards the place where Sangong was, but the calm look in his eyes suddenly made people feel fearful.Then he said, "I have been weak since I was a child, and my father took pity on my son, so I allowed my son to seldom show up in front of everyone. Thinking about it, this is why such remarks appear. It is really my son's fault that I worry about my father." guilt."

Lu Chengning bowed down deeply, with self-blame and introspection.The dragon pattern on the robe seems to break through the sky.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly got up and faced the people in the court hall, and his words were stern, "As ministers, you should put helping the world's society as the most important thing, be humble and self-conscious, and enter the path of goodness; ; Long-cherished and sleepy at night, Jinxian can't understand; Mingchao sees, so that you don't have to worry."

He looked at the ministers dressed in official uniforms, like young dragons showing their claws, with the momentum of thunder, "But what I saw today, I am very disappointed! If all the ministers and workers in the world are like you, seeking power for their own self-interest, Deceiving the monarch, alienating relatives, and even persecuting them, is the danger of my great Yong!"
