Chapter 2582: After Liu Mu's resignation, he canonized the crown prince

Ying Hao was also a little puzzled by Liu Mu's decision, so he said:

"Mu'er, didn't I say that you don't need to resign as the queen. As long as you help me lead out the black hand behind the scenes, you will leave a way for Chang'e to survive. Now that you have done it, I naturally won't break your word."

Liu Mu bowed and said, "Husband, my concubine asked to resign as queen, not because of Xiao'e."

"Oh? Then why?"

"Although the concubine didn't know about Zhulong's plan, in the final analysis, it was because of the concubine and Xi'er that Zhulong took the risk and the concubine was equally to blame.

As the Queen of Daqin, not only did she not contribute to Daqin, but she also caused such calamity, and even nearly caused a catastrophic disaster. "

Looking at Liu Mu with a guilty face, Ying Hao knew that she was telling the truth. She really didn't want to be the queen anymore, but it was definitely not because of the candle dragon, but more because she didn't want Ying Xi to fall into the trap. In the battle for succession.

In order to protect Ying Xi's safety, Liu Mu even prepared to send him out of the palace, which shows that she knew from the beginning that the resistance of Ying Xi to become the prince was too great, and it was unlikely that she would inherit the throne of Ying Hao. He is far from strife.

Although the crisis has been temporarily lifted, it does not mean that there will be no crisis in the future.

As long as she is still the queen, even if Ying Xi is not the eldest son, she is also the second son. She also has the qualifications to inherit the great lineage, so it is still dangerous. Therefore, she simply resigned as the queen and did not give any hope to the Han courtiers. , naturally, it will be able to completely stay away from the conflict.

After thinking about this, Ying Hao didn't know what to say, he sighed and said: "Mu'er, you have to think about it clearly, if you resign as the queen, Xi'er will no longer be the heir apparent, Xi'er will grow up. If you get older, you might hate you."

It was undoubtedly a good thing for Da Qin to let Liu Mu resign as the queen, but Ying Hao had to consider Liu Mu's feelings.

Since learning about the ascension, Ying Hao's thoughts are not only for unification, but also for the things after his ascension.

Liu Mu is his first wife. After merging the soul of Houtu, her aptitude has reached a rare level in the world, not inferior to Ren Hongchang who has fused the soul of Nuwa.

Liu Mu's future achievements are destined to be limitless. As long as she is given enough time to practice, she will be a half-step mysterious realm-level combat power in the future. In addition, she will be able to follow Ying Hao to ascend together, and even hundreds of thousands of years in the future will accompany Ying. Hao's side.

This is also the main reason why Ying Hao is so accommodating to Liu Mu, even at the cost of creating a double queen system, but he is not willing to let Liu Mu be wronged.

Doesn't Ying Hao know what hidden dangers the double queen system will bring to Da Qin?
He knew it clearly in his heart, but he still chose to do it because in his opinion, this hidden danger was not as important as Liu Mu.

Besides, Ying Hao also wants to believe in this hidden danger. It is nothing to Ying Sheng, who was born holy. After all, with such a great advantage, if he can't even solve this trouble, then he is not worthy. Inherited Ying Hao's position.

The meaning of retention in Ying Hao's words touched Liu Mu's heart very much, but she insisted on resigning as the queen. In her heart, her son's health and happiness was far more important than inheriting the throne.

"The concubine has thought about it, Xi'er will understand the painstaking efforts of the concubine." Liu Mu gritted his teeth.

When Ying Hao heard this, he also felt a little distressed for Liu Mu, but he was more respectful. After all, as a mother, she personally deprived her son of the inheritance rights. What kind of courage and mind can support her to make such a decision?

Ying Hao gently embraced Liu Mu and whispered in his ear, "Mu'er, I respect your decision."

Liu Mu didn't feel any resentment at the loss of the rear position, but there was a sense of relief in her heart. She sniffed the scent on Ying Hao's body, and her heart was at an unprecedented level of peace.

After comforting Liu Mu, Ying Hao went to the East Palace again, after all, there was still a problem there.

For Ren Hongchang, this turmoil was a complete disaster. It was calculated inexplicably, his son was replaced, and the female official was beaten into a vegetative state. With Ren Hongchang's temperament, he would not let it go.

But now that Zhulong is dead, Ren Hongchang's target of angering and pursuing responsibility has naturally become Liu Mu and Chang'e.

After seeing Ying Hao, Ren Hongchang said directly: "Your Majesty, although Zhulong and Qin Rang are dead now, Chang'e is still alive, and this incident was also caused by Liu Mu. Dissatisfied."

Ying Hao knew that if he couldn't coax Ren Hongchang well, Zhang Liang, Sun Lingming, Long Qie and other Ming ministers would collectively file a letter to seek justice for Ren Hongchang in the morning, and immediately felt a little pain in his brain, and immediately asked back: " How do you think Hong'er should handle it?"

"Although Chang'e was under the control of Zhulong, she made such a big mistake, but she did what she did, and if she thought of the merits and designs, she could be spared the death penalty. Into the prison, imprisoned for life.

As for Liu Mu..."

When it came to Liu Mu, Ren Hongchang was also in a bit of trouble, after all, the other party was a queen like her.

If she said too harshly, she was suspected of retaliation, but she appeared to be small.

But if she didn't say anything, she couldn't understand.

Seeing that Ren Hongchang was no longer speaking, Ying Hao said, "Hong'er, just now, Mu'er took the initiative to plead guilty to me, and resigned herself as the queen."

"what?"

Ren Hongchang's face was full of shock, he couldn't believe it was true.

After all, before the candidate for the prince is determined, whether it is the eldest son or the second son, there is a chance to become the prince.

But if Liu Mu resigned as the empress, Ying Xi would lose his status as a direct son, and he would be automatically kicked out of the crown prince candidate.

This also means that Liu Mu took the initiative to hand over the crown prince to Ying Sheng.

Thinking of this, Ren Hongchang didn't know what to say.

Before, she was still full of resentment towards Liu Mu, but now with Liu Mu voluntarily resigning as the queen, all resentment disappeared.

"Hong'er, I will go up tomorrow morning and announce that Mu'er will be downgraded to the imperial concubine, and Sheng'er will be made the crown prince. I wonder if this will make you feel relieved?"

Hearing Ying Hao's remarks, Ren Hongchang twitched a little and said, "Your Majesty, look at what you said, there is no anger in the concubine, all the concubines listen to your majesty."

"Okay, since that's the case, then this matter will end here. No one will mention it again in the future. Let the past pass."

"What about Chang'e..."

Seeing Ying Hao's face, Ren Hongchang didn't dare to go on talking. She was not afraid of making her husband angry, but she was afraid that her son's crown would fly away.

After having a pair of children, now in Ren Hongchang's heart, the children have the highest status, and the husband can only rank second.

Ying Hao didn't realize that he had fallen out of favor, and seeing Ren Hongchang's acquaintance shut up, he said, "Although Chang'e has made a big mistake, but the crime will not die, it is too heavy to be imprisoned for life, but I will. Order to abolish her skills and deprive her of all titles and positions as punishment."

Chang'e must not be killed. As for life imprisonment, Liu Mu would not agree to it, and abolishing her skills and depriving her of all titles and positions was already the most severe punishment for her.

Ren Hongchang was naturally not dissatisfied, and said with a smile like a flower: "Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are clear, your concubine..."

----------

The next morning, Ying Hao announced in public that the Queen of the West Palace, Liu Mu, was appointed as the imperial concubine.

Although Liu Mu took the initiative to resign from Ying Hao's position as the queen, it was impossible to say that when it was announced to the public.

As soon as this decree came out, the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty suddenly exploded the pot collectively.

As we all know, Empress Nishinomiya is the emperor's wife, and the relationship between the two has always been very stable.
Although the status of the imperial concubine was second only to the empress, and higher than that of all the concubines such as the imperial concubine, she was still a deposed queen.

In this regard, the Han ministers were filled with some unease, while Zhang Liang and other Ming ministers showed excitement in the eyes.

As they expected, the first imperial decree was just foreplay, and the real highlight was the second imperial decree, and this second imperial decree was the canonization of the eldest son, Ying Sheng, as the crown prince.

This time and it all makes sense.

Since His Majesty the Emperor wants to canonize the crown prince, he must clear the obstacles for the crown prince, and the Empress Nishigong and the second prince are naturally the biggest obstacles for the eldest son.

Therefore, in the eyes of the ministers of the Great Qin, the first imperial decree is actually serving the second one. After Liu Mu was deposed, he did not fall out of favor, but made way for the prince.

Many Han ministers stood up, begging Ying Hao to regain his fame, and claimed that Liu Mu had never lost his morals, nor had he ever done anything inappropriate.

In addition, some Jin officials also stood up against it, but they were not against the abolition of the queen, but against the canonization of the crown prince.

The reason why the Jin ministers objected was because of Ying Ying.

After all, Ying Ying is the eldest son of the emperor, and her biological mother, Mu Guiying, is a noble concubine, and she was born in the Jin line. Before the first son was born, the eldest son Ying Ying was most likely to become the prince, so some Jin officials hoped that Ying Ying would become the prince.

But now that the queen has given birth to a direct son, Ying Ying has become the eldest son of a concubine. If it is true that the title of prince is real, then Ying Ying will really have no hope at all, so she will stand up against it in the future.

The Han clan and part of the Jin clan opposed the abolition and the canonization of the prince so early.

The Ming faction, headed by Zhang Liang, and the Qin faction, headed by Wang Meng, both stood up against what they opposed.

The first is the post-abolition. In matters such as the issue of the heir to the empire, even if the Empress Nishinomiya did not commit any fault, the abolition should still be abolished.

Then there is the canonization of the crown prince. The crown prince was born by the queen, and he is the heir apparent. Being crowned as the crown prince is a matter of course.

As soon as the Ming Department expressed this point of view, even the clan headed by Qin Jian stood up to support Ying Hao's abolition and the canonization of the crown prince.

Ying Hao didn't expect so many people to oppose, but this strengthened his determination to canonize the prince. After all, if this is the case now, the more infighting it is, the more serious it will be. It is better to take this opportunity to make the crown prince. Set it down to prevent other princes from having unreasonable thoughts in the future.

"You don't have to persuade you, Ai Qing, I have made up my mind, and I will make my eldest son, Ying Sheng, the crown prince. I respect this."

After speaking, Ying Hao turned his head and left, not giving the ministers a chance to refute at all.

As for the ministers who opposed it, seeing that Ying Hao could not be persuaded, apart from reluctance, they had no choice but to accept this fact.

At the same time, in the Tai Hospital.

Sun Lingming, who had been standing in front of Zixia's hospital bed, immediately grabbed Zixia's hand excitedly and said softly, "Zixia, did you hear that, you gave your life for your life? Salvation is the son of the master, and now the younger brother is already the prince."

But no matter how Sun Lingming shouted, Zixia didn't respond, just like a vegetative person lying quietly on the hospital bed.

Sun Lingming looked at Zixia's beautiful face, and all kinds of good memories came to his mind little by little, which made this tough guy who never knew what regret was even more regretful.

In the past, his mind was immature and his mind was not open. He only focused on martial arts and meritorious services, but ignored the lover around him. If God gave him another chance, he would definitely put his family first, no matter what. His Zixia is important.

"Zixia, my old grandson will definitely save you. Even if the other two Tianxiang cardamom are in the sky, I will definitely find them for you." Sun Lingming said very firmly.
