The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 247, Qing Guiren (one more)
The next day
A wave of rumors struck outside the capital city, the identity of the prince was announced to the public, he was the son of Princess Qingyang, and Princess Qingyang was actually the daughter of a late nobleman.

Three days later, Princess Qingyang re-entered the imperial mausoleum as the eldest princess.

For a while, people were panicked. So, the present prince's surname is He?Instead of the Qi family, how can they occupy the Qi family.

Many officials and censors have reported that this is not stealing the country. If it is true, the prince will never be a prince again.

Emperor Jing Long narrowed his eyes, "This matter is indeed true. For the past few months, I have had a nightmare. Qingyang has been in my dream for a long time and refused to leave. I will never forget that look."

"I went to the presiding officer Jingmin some time ago, and presided over the resolution. There must be a great grievance in it. In a fit of anger, I checked it again, traced the source, and found the maid who served Concubine Li Gui, as well as Qing. The maid next to the nobleman only discovered the hidden truth after careful investigation."

After Emperor Jinglong finished speaking, the room was silent for a while, and after a while, ministers stepped forward, most of whom had offended Qi Yao.

"Your Majesty, how could Concubine Li Gui give her son to Qing Guiren? It's too ridiculous."

A minister from the bottom jumped out, "If Concubine Li Gui gives birth to a prince, she will surely win the concubine title. How could she give up this opportunity to Qinggui? The princess is not half as good as the prince."

After the minister's words fell, many people nodded in agreement. If the prince ascends the throne, the queen mother will become someone else's pocket.

Who would be so stupid?
Exchange a prince for a princess?
Emperor Jing Long narrowed his eyes, "Concubine Ligui is trying to protect herself. This bitch dared to steal someone behind my back, gave birth to an evil son, and replaced a princess. At least she is my daughter. He confuses the royal family's blood. Capital punishment, once seized, will implicate the whole family."

The minister was speechless, seeing Emperor Jing Long's expression as if he wanted to eat people, he immediately shrank his neck, his calf softened.

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, the mouth is very short, and it just pokes at Emperor Jinglong's wound, and quickly retreats, not daring to mention a word.

After a while, another minister expressed his doubts.

"Your Majesty, even if Concubine Li Gui stole the dragon to turn the phoenix, what about Princess Qingyang and Princess Ji?"

This can't be explained at all, and the ministers are also very puzzled.

"It is said that when Princess Ji had a miscarriage, Princess Qingyang asked Princess Ji to adopt her child. What kind of reputation did Princess Qingyang carry? If the child was born, it would be condemned by thousands of people."

"Princess Qingyang will return to the fief sooner or later. All the sources come from Concubine Li Gui. Princess Qingyang reluctantly gave up the child and gave the child to Princess Ji. It just so happened that Princess Ji was very sad about the loss of her child. With a kind mother's heart, she agreed."

Third Master Su stood up, and he only knew the news. After hearing the news a few days ago, he was stunned, it was incredible.

However, this is indeed like Emperor Jinglong's temperament, he was caught by surprise, but this game of chess has been played for a long time.

"This..." The minister thought for a while, and then said, "Even if this is the case, how could Princess Ji agree? King Xun must have known about it, knowing that the prince is not of royal blood, how could he let the prince ascend the throne? This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. .”

"Lord Liu's words are wrong." Su Sanye said, "Princess Qingyang is the emperor's own daughter, half of the emperor's blood flows in the crown prince, how can it be said that it has nothing to do with the royal family."

Third Master Su said again slowly, "Besides, as far as I know, Princess Ji's birth coincided with the drought in the city, and King Xun went to relieve the disaster, but he was not in the capital. He didn't show up until the birth, so King Xun must not have known about it."

Several ministers snorted coldly. If King Xun didn't know, they definitely wouldn't believe it. After all, King Xun's attitude towards the prince over the years was obvious to all.

Not even a stranger, like an enemy, would rather cultivate the second son than support the prince.It's no wonder that the prince was able to abandon the position of the son calmly and calmly.

Many people laughed at Qi Yao's stupidity at the beginning, but now that he thinks about it, his scalp is numb, and he is aiming at the position of prince, who would take the position of a little prince seriously?
No matter how they defended, the ministers still couldn't get over that hurdle in their hearts, and they were deceived for so many years.

Emperor Jing Long narrowed his eyes, and looked at Third Master Su appreciatively. The corner of Third Master Su's mouth twitched, he was flattered.

"Your majesty, even so, even so, the crown prince's surname is He, and he is the eldest son of He. After all, the surname of Jiangshan is not Qi. Besides, there are many underage grandchildren under the emperor's knees. The crown prince succeeds to the throne. If the name is not right and the words are not right, how should the people of the world explain it?"

"The most important thing is that the crown prince is the son of Princess Qingyang, and King Xun's status is embarrassing. Should the crown prince change his surname or let him be recorded at King Xun's knee as his son? Isn't it a mess?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you are provoked by someone with a heart, I am afraid that the foundation of Eastern Chu will be shaken. Your Majesty, think twice."

"Your Majesty, you must be more cautious about Princess Qingyang's entry into the imperial mausoleum..."

Emperor Jing Long's face suddenly darkened, and this matter will definitely not be resolved for a while.

This group of ministers is more tricky than the other, they only think about profit, and they don't think about the people at all, it's really hateful.

"Master Cheng, who do you think is the most suitable person for the abolition of the crown prince?"

Emperor Jing Long stared straight at Mr. Cheng who just proposed.

Master Cheng's face changed slightly, he moved his mouth, his mind spun rapidly, thinking about the prince and eldest son under Emperor Jinglong's knees.

"This... Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince and Prince Jin'an are all good."

Master Cheng bit the bullet and said.

Emperor Jinglong nodded, with a look of sudden realization, "So it turns out that Xiaoliu is still childish, and there are still several years before he will be in charge. When the time comes, I will kick my feet, and Dongchu will hold you humerus ministers. Marquis Jin'an's private possession of iron mines is regarded as treason, and you dare to mention the son of Marquis Jin'an, is Master Cheng also a participant?"

Emperor Jing Long's words were light and light, and Master Cheng knelt down when he heard this.

"Your majesty, I have been wronged, I beseech you to learn from me, I..."

Emperor Jing Long's face sank, and he slammed the table with a bang. The sound was very loud, and the hearts of those who listened trembled.

"Come on, drag Mr. Cheng out, dismiss him and investigate!"

Master Cheng was stunned, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged..."

After a while, Mr. Cheng was dragged down by the guards, with a look of panic on his face.

"Is there any minister who has any comments?" Emperor Jing Long said lightly.

The ministers below were startled, and they all shut their mouths tightly. Who dared to mention half a word, isn't it obvious that they are looking for death.

Only Mr. Su stood up.

"Your Majesty, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most suitable at the moment. His Royal Highness is a military strategist who has achieved great military exploits. The soldiers in the southwest and northwest all admire and love the Crown Prince."

"If you change people hastily, I'm afraid that Eastern Chu is really in danger. The Qin State and the early Ming Dynasty are staring at each other. It may not be the situation today. The world rules, and benevolence is the first. The prince has already entered the royal family tree. saving people."

Su Sanye continued slowly, "Emperor Ming Dao has no children, and he adopted a son from his brother's offshoot, who is the later Emperor Wen Cheng. If the ministers think according to what the ministers think, wouldn't the country be handed over to others for nothing?"

After Su Sanye finished his words, several ministers rolled their eyes at Su Sanye angrily, and secretly scolded him that his back hurts while standing and talking, and that he was adopted out of helplessness, how can they be generalized.

A minister moved his lips, and wanted to stand up and refute several times, but was held back by the people behind him, but his eyes did not forget to give Third Master Su a hard look.

Knowing that he was despised, Third Master Su twitched the corner of his mouth, what he said was too obvious, and the ministers were not fools.

The crown prince held a lot of power, and Emperor Jinglong wholeheartedly supported him. Throughout Eastern Chu, no one was a threat to the crown prince anymore, and the crown prince's succession to the throne was a certainty.

If you offend the prince, this official path will come to an end. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are the best.

Several ministers have already thought about it.

"Your Majesty, it's my servant who is dull. Lord Su is right. The Crown Prince has a kind heart. He is the perfect candidate for the Crown Prince who can govern the country with literature and martial arts."

"I also think that Mr. Su's words are justified. The crown prince can inherit the country's surname. If there is no crown prince, the two countries may have fought over a long time ago. Why should the ministers be stubborn and stir up internal strife to benefit other countries in vain? regardless of?"

"you!"

The two sides quickly formed their own factions and refuted each other. Some literati and old scholars could not accept this outburst, and almost fainted in anger.

In the main hall, it suddenly became lively, noisy, and the people who made the noise were upset.

"Okay!" Emperor Jing Long shouted sharply.

There was a lot of silence underneath, and everyone was blushing and aggrieved.

Emperor Jinglong squinted at Eunuch Lian, and Eunuch Lian understood, and shouted loudly.

"Retreat!"

Before the ministers could open their mouths, Emperor Jing Long flung his sleeves away first.

On this day, the weather was so gloomy that it almost turned the capital upside down, and it was extraordinarily lively.

I don't know who it is, who started to lead the people to kneel at the gate of the palace, and many people insulted Emperor Jinglong for being stupid and contemplating the beauty.

"It's the old prince!"

Before Emperor Jinglong could open his mouth, Lian Gonggong said.

Emperor Jinglong took a deep breath, waved his hand, "Let him go."

In the afternoon, there were more and more people kneeling at the gate of the palace, and many members of the clan surnamed Qi rushed to deliver letters from the eight hundred miles of the fief to comfort Emperor Jinglong.

Compared with the prince, their descendants are much more legitimate, at least they are all descendants of the Qi family,

It won't be taken away by others.

There were even quite a few people eager to move, waiting for the opportunity to do something, and letters filled the table.

Emperor Jinglong picked up a book at random, and someone played Princess Qingyang. It was because of evil spirits that blinded the eyes of the emperor, and begged the monks to save Princess Qingyang.

Emperor Jing Long was so angry that he threw away the memorial and rubbed his forehead.

"What's going on outside the palace gate?"

Eunuch Lian sighed, "Your Majesty, there are more and more people, and everyone is against the crown prince, especially a few nobles and those who were once exploited by the surname Qi, and there are even a few old princes who are entangled in the name of Qing Dynasty. Soldiers and horses, take the opportunity to make trouble."

Emperor Jinglong clenched his lips, "I never thought that I would be able to fulfill this wish before I was about to die. Those old stubborn people should have been dealt with long ago. Because of their seniority, they have given me a lot of embarrassment, Lord Qing! It's time to clean up." Cleared."

As Emperor Jing Long said, a coldness and a strong killing intent flashed across his eyes.

When the war started in the southwest, more than half of Eastern Chu's soldiers and horses stayed in the southwest, and a small half guarded the northwest. The interior of Eastern Chu was empty. If they took this opportunity to make trouble, there might still be a chance.

"Don't worry, there are still two days left, that's enough."

Emperor Jinglong said indifferently, Eunuch Lian nodded.

Emperor Jinglong slept deeply and slept so peacefully. For many years, he often had nightmares. For some reason, he slept very soundly today.

After finally doing something that he wanted to do for so many years, Eunuch Lian took a deep breath, turned around, and secretly wiped his tears.

The next day, Emperor Jinglong woke up early, the sun was shining brightly outside, and he was very comfortable.

Emperor Jinglong's mouth curled into a smile, and he could see that he was in a very happy mood.

"Your majesty, Qing nobleman seeks an audience."

Emperor Jinglong frowned, then nodded, several court ladies helped Emperor Jinglong put on the dragon robe and tiara, washed up, and came out refreshed.

The young nobleman wore a white dress, no makeup, and a clean little face full of stubbornness and fleeting timidity, which was captured by Emperor Jinglong very quickly.

She has black hair in a white dress, and her blue hair is slightly pulled back. Only a hosta is inserted obliquely, and a very delicate cyan tassel hangs down, shaking slightly.

Although there are few jewelry, they are just right and delicate, any more would be cumbersome, the snow-white wrist was slightly raised,

With a cold voice.

"The courtiers and concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe."

Emperor Jinglong picked up the tea and took a sip, but he didn't dare to look at that face. For so many days, Emperor Jinglong hadn't looked at Qinggui.
Facing that face, I was a little dazed.

The Qing nobleman kept her body half down and never raised her head. The fringe between her hairpins revealed her inner panic.

Emperor Jing Long returned to his senses, "Get up first, what's the important thing to find me so early?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qing Guiren's tone and eyes were slightly alienated, the imitation was too deliberate, and on the contrary, he lost his original uniqueness.

Everyone knows that Qinggui is noble and elegant, with a cold temperament, especially towards Emperor Jinglong, who is extremely indifferent and treats him like an enemy. After all, Emperor Jinglong is the one who ordered the execution of Liufu, and is Qingguiren's enemy.

But who would have known that Qinggui, a woman, was struggling in the entanglement of love and hate, and was entangled with each other.

The love hidden in the eyes, the green nobleman can't learn it no matter what.

That touch of nobility and elegance, glamorous temperament, rather than alienating hostility, is the only way Emperor Jinglong distinguishes them.

Qing Guiren lowered her head, but didn't look up, she knew that Emperor Jing Long was looking at her all the time.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu Gui is here," said the little eunuch outside the door.

Emperor Jinglong squinted his eyes, and from a distance, he saw Concubine Liu Gui in white clothes, taking off the pearl hairpin jewelry,

Kneeling directly in front of the palace gate.

"I beg the emperor to be merciful. The concubine does not ask to forgive the evil son, but only asks the emperor to leave a bloodline in the Marquis of Jin'an. The concubine is extremely grateful."

Concubine Liu Gui seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. She was in her early forties, but she just turned into a woman in her fifties. It was completely hard to see that she was still the noble and generous Concubine Liu Gui.

Concubine Liu Gui raised her eyes, "Your Majesty, for the sake of my concubine's company with the Emperor for many years, let the Marquis of Jin'an find a way out."

Every time Concubine Liu Gui uttered a word, she would kneel down and kowtow to the ground, every word was pearly, and after a while, her white forehead was already red and swollen, and every stroke was very hard.

Emperor Jinglong withdrew his expression, and squinted at the nobleman, "Tell me, why did you come to see me?"

Qing Guiren was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his eyes, hesitated, and then slowly opened his lips.

"Your Majesty, the concubine also came to intercede for Marquis Jin'an's mansion. Marquis Jin'an once rescued the concubine, but the concubine could not repay him. I am sure the emperor will show mercy and forgive Marquis Jin'an."

The corner of Emperor Jing Long's mouth twitched, he was a little dumbfounded, what Marquis Jin An committed was a capital crime, he could have murdered his entire family, even compared to Prince Rui, the crime was even more heinous.

Although Prince Rui rebelled, he did not betray the country, while Marquis Jin An secretly betrayed the country, so it cannot be compared.

Even Concubine Liu Gui didn't dare to intercede for Marquis Jin'an, Qing Guiren spoke so loudly, she spoke with certainty and vowed firmly.

Emperor Jinglong smiled, turned a deaf ear to Concubine Liu Gui's begging for mercy, and looked at Qing Guiren, his face was enough to fascinate him without seeing it once.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has no father or mother since childhood. It was the Marquis of Jin'an who sent someone to save his concubine. There is no way to repay his life for saving his life. Although Marquis of Jin'an committed a heinous crime, he is the emperor's own son. Your majesty, a tiger does not eat its own son... …”

Even Eunuch Lian's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and when his eyes touched Qing Guiren, he was really bold and dared to say anything.

The Qing nobleman knelt down, his back straightened, and his face was determined. For a moment, Emperor Jing Long's heart softened, as if he saw someone with a big belly and begged him to give the Liu family a way to survive.

The back is lonely, and the expression is sad and painful. Knowing that the relatives have committed a serious crime, it is good to always think about saving one's life when thinking about the family.

It's a pity that Emperor Jinglong was young and vigorous at the time, and he didn't understand the sorrow and entanglement of a woman, the choice between her relatives and her husband.

Emperor Jing Long fell into memory, his eyes tightened.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is willing to pay one life for one life in exchange for the life of Marquis Jin'an."

Qing nobleman said stubbornly.

Emperor Jing Long's pupils shrank sharply.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is willing to pay one life for another, in exchange for the life of my elder brother."

This sentence has been resounding in Emperor Jinglong's ears. If Emperor Jinglong had listened carefully to Qinggui, it would not have been that scene.

It was he himself who pushed Qinggui into family affection and forced her to abandon her husband.

That look of despair is deeply imprinted in my mind,
　Concubine, you are incomparable with red makeup
　　Prince Wuqi

　　Mu Qingran: I'm not in good health, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve the prince to sleep.

　　Ye Qingchen said without blinking: "It's okay, I can serve you.

　　Mu Qingran: ...

　　Mu Qingran: Does the prince sleep inside or outside?
　　Ye Qingchen: Sleep on it!

　　Mu Qingran: ...

　　The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Is it really okay to play hooligans if you don't agree with me like this?
