The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 341
"Slaves serve Your Majesty."

A figure flashed out of the side hall, bowed briefly to the emperor, walked to the imperial case and started grinding ink.

However, the emperor did not sit back in a hurry, and still paced in the hall, "After all, Xiaoba is the only legitimate son. If I do this, will it be a way to cause chaos?"

"Your Majesty, allow this servant to boldly remind you that besides the eighth prince, you have another son-in-law."

"It's a pity, King Dun is frivolous and can't rule the world."

The emperor's face was dark and inexplicable, "What? You still want Zhen Chuan to be in Xiao Si'er?"

"Your Majesty was joking, and this servant just feels that His Majesty should reconsider the matter of the crown prince. Take yesterday's incident as an example. His Royal Highness met with the third prince of Beidi privately to seek peace talks. What will you think?"

"This unworthy son! He has been in power for a few months, look at how many foolish things he has done!"

The emperor sat back in front of the imperial case and sighed, "At first, I saw that the prince behaved well, was kind and filial, and thought that there would be a successor, but I was completely wrong!"

The ink-grinding hand on the imperial case paused for a moment, and said lightly: "My servant thinks that it's not because your Majesty has misjudged, but because of His Royal Highness's docile personality. Beside the Prince, there are courtiers outside and harem instigation, and the political affairs are complicated. , can’t decide what to do, if things go on like this, will the country’s security survive?”

The emperor's eyes widened. On weekdays, even if it was a blunt remonstrance, the group of courtiers always had room for it, and never dared to say such straightforward words.

But after thinking about it, it seems to make some sense.

Because the former prince Xie Han died of an accident, Xie Yao was forcibly pushed to the position of the prince.

After all, he was not trained as a crown prince at the beginning. When it comes to governing the country, although Xie Yao is diligent, his views are extremely shallow.

One after another, the court affairs of the past six months kept coming out of the emperor's mind.

From the deficit of the national treasury, to the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, to the situation in the southwest, and to the war in the northern border, Xie Yao's thoughts were completely opposite to his.

Now that he, the emperor, is still on the sidelines, where will Dayan go after Xie Yao monopolizes power?
The emperor didn't know, and didn't dare to think about it.

He couldn't help asking himself, was it right or wrong to make Xie Yao the crown prince against all opinions that day?

Thinking of this, a trace of regret flashed in the emperor's heart, and then he felt his scalp numb, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton.

He wanted to call for help, but he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Seeing that the emperor was crumbling, the ink grinder hurriedly discarded the ink stick in his hand, stepped forward to support the emperor, grabbed the medicinal tea on the table and gave the emperor a few sips.

After a whirlwind, the emperor barely held himself up.He took a breath and said dejectedly: "Zhen... not many days left, it's too late to change the position of prince."

The emperor struggled to sit up, and the hand that lifted the pen began to tremble slightly.

Stopping and resting, until two quarters of an hour later, the emperor finally finished writing an imperial decree.

The person next to him was about to clean up the pen and ink on the table, but the emperor stopped him, "Don't worry, I'm going to write another imperial decree."

After more than half an hour, the emperor threw the pen in his hand on the table.

"Put these two edicts in the dark compartment first. After I return to heaven, if everything is safe, I will use the first edict. If it is a last resort, take out the second edict."

"Su Yatou's letter from Chen Zuo is good!"

The emperor's eyes gradually darkened, "Fang Luan is unreliable, Qian Minzhong is unreliable, and my sons are also unreliable... I will kill a group of them! Remember my words, all the officials and thieves who are in trouble will be rewarded." Kill him!"

In the early morning of the second day, when the ministers were waiting to enter the imperial court at the Huangji Gate, they received a verbal order to suspend the imperial court for a day.

All the ministers know that they have always been diligent in governing, and the emperor has been in power for nearly 20 years, and there are very few cases where the court is suspended.

Even if there is a sudden and unexpected suspension of the court, there will be a notice in advance from the yamen, and there has never been a situation where civil and military officials have been blocked outside the Huangji gate.

There was no sign of this suspension, nor was there any reason given. Something big must happen.

Several ministers of the cabinet followed Xie Yao to the Wenhua Palace. They wanted to inquire about the word from the prince, but Xie Yao took a step ahead of them, took out a copy of Chen Zou from his sleeve, and threw it into Qian Minzhong's before.

"Elder Qian Ge, the royal father handed over a melody, and you and a few adults have a look."

Qian Minzhong and Shen Changde glanced at each other, picked up the memorial on the ground, and pulled Lu Zhiyuan again, the three of them looked together.

"What a beautiful word!"

Qian Minzhong opened the memorial, first praised, Shen and Zhang also echoed.However, just after reading a few sentences, the three of them couldn't help frowning, and looking down, the more they looked, the more frightened they became.

At the end, it was the emperor's Zhu Zhu, "King Dun, my son, what is the intention of you and other fake women to peep into his privacy? Where do you want to put me?"

Qian Minzhong's reaction was the quickest, and he put the playbook into Shen Changde's hand, and bowed to Xie Yao.

Lu Zhiyuan and Shen Changde also reacted immediately, and bent down at the same time.

The three people behind did not know the content of the memorial. Rong Zonghou and Qiu Guangzu saw that the first assistant, the second assistant and the Minister of the Ministry of War all reacted in this way. They all stretched their heads and looked at Shen Changde's hand, wanting to see clearly the memorial. Content.

Only Zhang Ruogu stood upright on the spot with a calm expression on his face.

"What do these people think? King Dun's famous absurdity is worth so much effort to follow?"

Xie Yao was anxious in his heart, and put aside the numbers in the memorial book, and even his own mother and concubine Tang Zhuangfei became resentful.

The day before yesterday, he secretly went to see Yuan Zhan, the third prince of Beidi, and verbally reached an agreement to negotiate a peace.

Originally, I went to report to the emperor last night, but the emperor didn't let him explain, and gave him such a memorial book, asking him to uphold justice for Xie Xi.

Thinking of the peace talks that he presided over with all his heart, without even a chance to mention it, Xie Yao suddenly became angry.

"Mr. Qian Ge, you sent a few women from the Jiaofang Division over there, and you still want to make the most of what you have. Don't you know that the emperor most taboos collusion between courtiers and feudal lords?"

"Your Highness, at that time, the old minister was only following the regulations to send someone to His Highness King Dun, and he didn't know anything else. Princess Dun said that the old minister had placed eyeliner in the palace, and she really wronged the old minister."

Facing Xie Yao's accusation, Qian Minzhong didn't take it seriously.

The emperor is in his prime, and the prince Xie Yao is just a decoration. It is still unknown whether he can succeed to the throne smoothly.

Their Qian family is a distinguished family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, not only in Dayan, but also in the entire history of Qing Dynasty.Princess Dun's mere letter of Chen Zou is nothing but groundless accusations, and there is no verified evidence from the left and right, so no one can do anything to the Qian family.

What Qian Minzhong cared about was the words written by Emperor Zhu.

According to the ancestral system, the clan and the government have always been separated and not involved in each other.

It's just a woman's report, what did the emperor want to do by suddenly bringing the affairs of the clan to the fore?
