Chapter 50

In the 21st year of Hongzhi, on the fourth day of August, the full moon of the Tenth Prince.

The emperor suddenly issued an edict to make him the crown prince, who was in the East Palace.

In the court hall, all the officials looked at each other, and suddenly someone knelt down to dissuade them.

"Think twice, Your Majesty. The Tenth Prince is only a child who has just reached the full moon. He is neither a direct son nor an elder, and his conduct cannot be considered. He really cannot convince the public. He is afraid of causing disaster. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

It was the old queen's father Wang Ge Pharaoh Qishi who spoke.

The Wang family has been established for a hundred years, and the elder Wang Ge is the elder of the two dynasties.

It can be said to be deeply ingrained, with trees covering the sky, and even the old emperor cannot be easily shaken.

Most of the time, we can only turn a blind eye and close our eyes, and everyone wants to make peace.

Now he stood up to oppose, the old emperor had expected it.

"What? Wang Aiqing has an opinion?"

Wang Ge's old face darkened, and he took a step forward neither humble nor overbearing.

"The old minister does have something to say"

He repeated the meaning of the sentence just now in simple terms, and finally stomped his feet in grief.

"How does this make the second prince deal with himself? How does the first prince from the queen's empress deal with himself?"

It is true that the first prince died young, but the two first princes didn't get the slightest sign of the East Palace until their death. The ten princes and the son of a mere musician can be in the East Palace at the full moon?
I'm afraid the little evil has not finished defecating, right?

The old emperor laughed.

"Isn't the second prince also a concubine? My first prince has also died for many years. Is Ai Qing old-fashioned?"

Old Wang Ge is exactly 79 this year, and seventy is rare in life.

But he is hale and hearty, except for his gray beard and hair, his eyes are still radiant, and he never delays in going up and down to the yamen mansion every day.

"Of course the old minister is not confused"

"It should be the emperor who is confused? If the emperor acts like this, I am afraid that the spirits of the two direct princes will not be at peace in heaven."

"Presumptuous!", the old emperor was furious.

"Wang Qishi, you dare to speak nonsense just because of the great love of the late emperor. Believe it or not, I will chop off your head today."

"The emperor is the king of a country, and the emperor dares to die, but the old minister still wants to say that the emperor's move really chills the hearts of other princes, and something big will happen."

"Need to say"

The old emperor turned his face away in disgust.

He stood up, his huge belly almost broke the dragon robe.

"I have made up my mind, whoever dares to say a word will be punished as treason"

The emperor fled away with a flick of his sleeves, and Liufu was not around. He hastily shouted to retreat and chased him out.

The owner of the Jinluan Hall suddenly disappeared, and everyone exploded.

"Absurd, really absurd"

"The emperor actually wants to appoint a full-moon baby as the crown prince. What's wrong with my Dasheng Dynasty?"

"Old Liu Ge, don't talk nonsense, you'd better be careful," another adult shook his head and sighed.

Everyone looked at each other, full of resentment, but they didn't dare to speak, they just made eye contact secretly for a while, then left with their heads drooping and sighing.

Luk Fook's apprentice saw that everyone in the Golden Luan Hall had left, so he hurried over to report to Master.

Unexpectedly, something happened in just a short while.

Old Liu Ge had also left.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he turned back, crying to see the first emperor, and after only two or three shouts, he bumped into a pillar and died.

The bright red brains stained the ground, and the emaciated body was like a broken old locust tree. He fell to the ground and never got up again. The deep red blood snaked along the cracks of the bricks, like a desperate poisonous snake.

With the sound of hitting the pillar, it was the screams of the maids and eunuchs.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was in chaos.

-

"Your Majesty, something has happened"

Trembling, Liufu went to the imperial study to report.

At that time, the old emperor was thinking about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and ancestor worship ceremony in August.

The ceremony should be grand, the banquet should also be grand, there should be singing and dancing, and silk and bamboo orchestras. In a peaceful and prosperous age, what he wants is the enjoyment of gold and jade.

In fact, the stacks to the left and right of him are full of disaster reports from various places.

Heavy rains hit the middle of Sichuan, and the fertile fields were flooded, and the harvest was less than [-]% of previous years.

The Qiantang in the south of the Yangtze River is flooded, and the surrounding mulberry fields are also flooded. The silkworm farmers have almost lost their harvest. This year's weaving bureau may not even be able to weave decent brocade.

There was a severe drought in Mobei and banditry in Liaodong.

The Dasheng Dynasty was so vast that the emperor could only understand his country through a thin paper memorial.

Naturally, he couldn't empathize. How could the people suffer when the capital is in good condition.

"If you keep yelling, I will kill you!" The old emperor was extremely impatient.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Liu Ge crashed into a pillar and died. His blood flowed all over the ground. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is already in chaos."

"what?"

First stunned, then disgusted, the emperor's performance was undisguised.

"If he wants to die, let him die. I don't care."

Liufu was at a loss and was about to retreat when the old emperor stopped him.

"Block the news, just say that he has a sudden illness and stay in the palace for treatment, so that his family can stay safe, and all the witnesses in the Hall of Supreme Harmony will be locked up first."

Liufu's calf trembled.

"Yes"

After everyone left, the old emperor slumped on a chair, and then he started to get scared.

Trembling, he took out the imperial decree that he had already drawn up, looked left and right, wanted to tear it up, then let go, and finally put it down and flattened it.

He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, finally made up his mind, picked up the jade seal and covered it.

Once the jade seal is covered, the imperial decree will come into effect.

It means that he officially established a baby who has just been full moon as the prince.

"call"

The old emperor laughed, every muscle and bone in his body was relaxing.

-

For seven days, it took the old emperor seven days to suppress the matter.

When the palace finally calmed down, Xie Chenyu entered the palace pretending to be a good son.

"Father, go to the study and fix it"

"It took two months before and after, and it was finally repaired before the Mid-Autumn Festival. All the beams and columns were replaced."

The old emperor was not in the mood and glanced at him lightly.

"Okay, you go back first"

Xie Chenyu stood still.

The old emperor seemed to realize something, and smiled.

"Well done, I should reward you, what do you want?"

Xie Chenyu respectfully thanked En, thought it over and over again, and said that he liked the Jiaowei guqin in Tongyin Pavilion.

"My son got a few volumes of ancient music scores, and I want to try to play them to see if I can restore them. I beg my father to help me."

"take it"

The old emperor waved his hand indifferently.

Xie Chenyu was so grateful that he knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, and stood up like a child with a happy smile. He couldn't wait to find the piano, and he still yelled that his father should not go back on his word.

The old emperor smiled wryly.

"Lao Liu is always too young to grow up, and his temperament is quite like his mother and concubine."

Bai Shi's appearance is already blurred, the only thing that impresses me deeply is her crystal-like temperament.

"Yes, you come back"

The old emperor called Xie Chenyu to stop.

"Don't forget to visit your mother, she is not in good health recently"

Xie Chenyu froze, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he hid it back suddenly.

"Yes"

"The son and minister resigned"

-

Coming out of the imperial study, Xie Chenyu first went to Tongyin Pavilion to pick up the piano.

I sat under the tree and played a few more songs.

Dressed in white, with a jade crown and hair, without a trace of royal decorations, it is naturally luxurious.

The surrounding maids all blushed and chatted together.

"If you want to talk about a romantic talent, you have to be like the sixth prince."
