The county owner is happy, and the scenery is remarried
Chapter 205 The Prince
Chapter 205 The Prince
The old lady raised her face, "The Xiao family doesn't necessarily have to support King Wu."
King Wu nodded and thanked the old lady, his expression was still calm.
The old lady was a little annoyed, annoyed that Xiao Yuzhuo didn't plan for her mother's family at this time.
Seems to be annoyed by something else.
After seeing the Yu Mansion, the old lady thought of Xiao Yuzhuo and felt uncomfortable everywhere.
What was she still angry about, she couldn't tell herself.
"The Xiao family is probably in a panic, the old lady can't sit still." Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly and sat down on the soft couch.
"If Li Tai gains power, you and I are afraid that we will leave Chang'an." Jing Yannian squinted at her, "I am no longer a general, let alone a prince, will Yuyu despise me?"
Xiao Yuzhuo was startled, and snorted softly, "That's right, why did I forget? Why don't I go find Li Tai and see if he can give me the seat of queen? It's not a queen, imperial concubine or something, that's okay. "
Jing Yannian's expression froze suddenly, "Try it!"
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "You don't care about the throne, but I'm so reluctant to part with glory and wealth? How underestimated!"
When Jing Yannian heard this, he held her tightly in his arms, "I'm afraid you will regret it, you will regret it..."
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "You see me desperately doing business, trying my best to amass wealth, building literary and martial arts gyms, and even attracting forces in the world, do you think I am greedy for vanity? Greedy for power?"
Jing Yannian stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, "Sometimes you are indeed incomprehensible."
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, his eyes drooping slightly.
She feels uneasy...
"Xiuyuan, tell me, if one day you find out that I am me, but not me... What will you do?" She asked in a very soft voice.
Jing Yannian was taken aback when he heard the words, "I realized that you are not the old you."
Xiao Yuzhuo was shocked when he heard the words, his heart tightened suddenly, and he looked at Jing Yannian with trembling eyes.
Jing Yan smiled young, "People will change. I have changed a lot from the past to the present?"
Xiao Yuzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and hummed vaguely.
……
The turmoil in Chang'an has subsided.
Li Tai dominates the palace, and his rivals are nothing more than the queen and the king of Wu.
Other forces are not enough to compete with him, he mainly focuses on attracting, and when he sees rebellious momentum, attacking them is supplementary.
He occupies the imperial palace, but has not rashly proclaimed himself emperor.
Everyone could understand his thoughts.
But the momentum of counterattack is too strong, now he is only living in the palace under the pretext of honoring the prince and guarding the spirit.
With Chong Wu by his side, he doesn't have to be afraid that Jing Yannian will act rashly now.
But the queen's natal family is a major obstacle to his ascension to the throne.
The queen's natal family can instigate limited generals, most of whom are military officers recruited in private.
Li Tai dealt with the father-in-law very simply.
He directly opened the gate of the palace and asked all the civil servants to enter the palace to express their condolences.
This was the last journey to send off the late emperor, and the officials could not shirk their excuses due to emotion and reason, they could only honestly come to the palace to express their condolences.
But the palace is now under the control of King Yue.
After entering the palace, wouldn't it mean that he put his wealth and life in the hands of King Yue?
The father-in-law didn't dare to go, but he didn't dare not to go!
If you go, maybe you will go and never return.
If you don't go, it will be difficult to explain to the Daxia people who uphold the thought of loyalty and ethics.
If you lose control of the palace, you have already lost the opportunity.
After much deliberation, the national patriarch finally found a compromise.
When he went to mourn, he did not go alone.
He recruited many civil servants and followers to go with him.
The three of them became tigers. He didn't believe that the king of Yue dared to do anything wrong, and dared to do something to him in front of so many people.
When the head of state entered the palace to pay his respects, Li Tai was kneeling in front of the emperor's coffin.
It is impossible for the head of the state to bring too many people into the palace, and he can't bring them in either.
The accompanying guards are all masters of the master, in case of any emergency, they can save his life.
The head of state wept bitterly at the coffin.
He had already lost [-]% of the battle with the King of Yue.
But he was unwilling.
After he paid his condolences, he stood aside, and some of his henchmen suddenly threatened that the king of Yue was unfilial and forced the empress to leave the palace.
He even has the intention of murdering the emperor's heir in the empress's womb.
King Yue had neither joy nor anger on his face, he knelt before the spirit and listened quietly.
After the head of the state had finished speaking, a member of the king of Yue suddenly stood up and said, "A country cannot be without a king for a day. The city of Chang'an has been in chaos for two days after the death of the sage. If the king of Yue hadn't stepped forward, Chang'an would have been in chaos." when."
The father-in-law's heart tightened, this is paving the way for the next words!
"The only ones who can take care of the overall situation now are King Wu and King Yue." The minister said, "The Holy Majesty did not establish a crown prince, nor did he leave a will."
Li Tai knelt and did not move.
The ministers looked around, "Why don't you see King Wu come to offer condolences?"
The ministers in the palace were nervous for a while.
They all wondered if King Wu still wanted to win the throne if he didn't come now.
Then they are all in the palace, isn't it dangerous?
If the king of Wu surrounded the palace, if the king of Yue lost to the king of Wu, wouldn't they all be taken over by one pot?
When the bottom is whispering.
Suddenly, a guard reported.
"The king of Wu offered the funeral."
It was Liao Changsheng who presented the funeral on behalf of King Wu.
Jing Yannian still did not show up in person.
Liao Changsheng held up a jet-black lacquer plate covered with a black cloth.
The things in the lacquer plate are invisible to everyone.
Liao Changsheng stepped forward steadily.
Everyone was guessing, what was in the lacquer tray?
But looking at Liao Changsheng's face, he couldn't guess it.
Li Tai got up, stood in front of the coffin, and looked at Liao Changsheng coldly, "Why, didn't he come to express condolences in person at the funeral of the emperor? King Wu is so arrogant?"
Liao Changsheng raised the lacquer plate above his head and knelt on one knee outside the Lingling Hall.
"The king of Wu fell ill because of his grief and was unable to get up from his bed. The king of Wu said that his sincerity was all in this funeral. Please ask the king of Yue to check it himself."
Li Tai narrowed his eyes.
He turned his head and glanced behind a kind of eunuch guard.
Chong Wu was in the protective circle of that group of eunuchs and guards.
Li Tai stepped forward and stood in front of Liao Changsheng, "What kind of gift is this King Wu gave?"
"The king of Yue will know it at a glance." Liao Changsheng sent the lacquer plate forward again.
Li Tai raised his hand slowly, pinching the corner of the black drape, he paused for a moment, then pulled the drape abruptly.
The people who were waiting around couldn't help but take a deep breath when they saw the things under Gebu.
The Guozhang and others stood lower, unable to see what was inside, and kept guessing in their hearts.
King Yue chuckled twice.
"I accept King Wu's sincerity." After speaking, he picked up the things on the lacquer plate.
The thing reflected the sun, exuding a cold and chilling radiance.
Guo Zhang and the others looked slightly sideways.
Looking at it this way, I was very surprised.
"It's a soldier talisman!" Someone exclaimed.
The head of the state shook his body.
It's not as good as King Wu has the heart to seize power!It would be better if King Wu immediately surrounded the palace!
When cranes and clams compete, the fisherman still has the possibility of profiting!
But now?King Wu handed over the soldier talisman!
King Wu didn't even fight!
All Chang'an forces fell into the hands of the King of Yue!
The abbot's face turned pale.
"Who said that this king was disloyal and unfilial just now?" King Yue raised his voice and asked.
The ministers behind the head of state were shocked.
Does the King of Yue hold grudges like this?Let's not wait, is it time to settle accounts now?
The abbot's face turned red.
Those are his henchmen, if he doesn't speak out at this time, who else will rely on him?
He suddenly took a step forward, "The Empress is pregnant with the offspring of the Holy Majesty, and the Majesty died suddenly. The Empress Dowager should stay in the palace, but His Royal Highness King Yue wants to kill the Empress Empress and all the offspring in the womb of the Holy Majesty. Judging is not disloyalty or filial piety, what is it?"
The king of Yue sneered, "If the empress hadn't locked the palace gate and didn't allow my father's body to be buried in the palace, why would I storm the imperial city? Why did I ever say that the empress is not allowed to stay in the palace? Why did I ever make a move to murder the empress?" The behavior of the child in the womb? These words are just fabricated by you to smear me, have you ever had any evidence to correct them?"
The head of state froze.
"I haven't asked the father-in-law yet. My father is still outside the palace, but the imperial city is locked from the inside. Who gave the order to lock the imperial city? Why did the forbidden army talisman fall into the hands of the queen? The queen The empress is just a woman in the harem, how can she mobilize the imperial army? Who is it that commanded the imperial army and did not allow my father to enter the palace to be buried?" King Yue asked forcefully.
The head of state frowned, blushed but did not answer.
Li Tai snorted coldly, ignored him, but raised his finger to express his condolences just now, saying that he was disloyal and filial to the minister.
"Come on, let me take down those who falsely accuse and slander me in front of my father's spirit!" Li Tai ordered.
The head of the state was furious.
"Li Tai, you are presumptuous!"
Li Tai looked at the father-in-law coldly, "This presumptuousness, where do you start?"
"This is in front of the Holy Spirit. Even if you are busy eliminating dissidents, you shouldn't be in front of the Holy Spirit! You are disrespecting the Holy Spirit." The head of the country gasped with anger when he spoke.
Li Tai smiled, "No, I firmly believe that the emperor's spirit is in the sky, and I am watching. This minister blatantly accuses me of this king. If I don't punish such a sycophantic minister in front of my father, my father's spirit in heaven will not be able to rest in peace." .”
Li Tai's personality is different from Jing Yannian's. No matter what he wants to do, no matter the good or the bad, no one can stop him.
With a wave of his finger, someone immediately held down the minister.
The minister struggled endlessly and cursed at Li Tai.
On Li Tai's flirtatious face, there was an evil and charming smile, "Stand dead."
He spat out two words coldly.
The inside and outside of the entire hall where the spirit stopped was extremely cold like a gust of wind.
The minister was pressed in front of the hall, and the board used by Zhang Xing seemed to have been prepared early in the morning.
Two guards held down the minister, and another executioner stepped forward, and the sound of cracking boards immediately rang out.
A group of civil servants never thought that they would encounter such a scene.
If a general can resist a few boards.
Most of the civil servants are weak, and when they go down three or five times, their screaming voices are broken.
The king's face was ugly.
He was out of breath and was about to speak.
Li Tai was one step ahead of him, "By the way, there is one more thing, I've always wondered... send the imperial physician."
The head of the state frowned at him, wondering what tricks he was going to play at this time.
He pursed his lips and said nothing, and the imperial physician was called forward.
Li Tai squinted his eyes and asked, "I heard that my father has been taking drugs. This medicine is both good and evil, and it is very poisonous."
The imperial doctor nodded again and again, "Yes, although A Furong can be used as medicine, its harm is astonishing. As early as when it was discovered, it spread its dangers in various places in Daxia. The elder of the Xiao family wrote his own experience to warn the world. Master Xiao's book Drawing cartoons is a warning.”
Li Tai nodded, "If I remember correctly, taking drugs for a long time will make men unable to carry on the family?"
"But it has the effect of killing sperm." The imperial physician said immediately.
The father-in-law's face immediately changed drastically.
Li Tai is going to draw the bottom line!
He was about to speak right away.
But someone stepped forward and covered his mouth.
Everyone's eyes fell on Guo Zhang, but no one dared to step forward to help.
"Don't be in a hurry, the king. If you have anything to say, after the king finishes asking, I will naturally let you talk about it." Li Tai smiled charmingly, "Who are the imperial physicians who take the pulse of the emperor every day?"
Four or five elderly imperial physicians stepped forward.
Li Tai lowered his eyes and asked, "My father is past the age of knowing the destiny, and he eats more drugs to refresh himself. You ask for pulse every day, but do you ever know if he still has the ability to give birth?"
It's really inappropriate for Li Tai to ask such a question in front of all the ministers and the Holy Majesty's mourning hall.
But in front of the hall, there was a civil official who was beaten, screaming, and the screams became weaker and weaker.
Who would dare to question what he asked right now?
"The holy dragon is not in good health, and he can no longer have a son. In the past three to five years, there has been no joy of having a baby in the palace!" An imperial physician said boldly.
Even if the other imperial physicians did not agree, they did not dare to stand up and refute it openly.
The head of the country has been running the court for so many years, so the Imperial Hospital naturally has his connections.
But now the situation is pressing, even his people don't dare to speak for him at the moment.
Li Tai laughed when he heard the words, "Yeah, I haven't had a younger brother or sister for many years, why is it that at this time, the empress is pregnant when she says she is pregnant?"
The head of state stomped his feet angrily.
Li Tai waved his hand, "Let's go, let the head of the country have something to say? Let him say it."
The head of the state let go of the back of his hand, and he cursed angrily, "Li Tai, don't bully others too much, you have bribed the imperial physician and occupied the palace, naturally you can say whatever you want the imperial physician to say!"
Li Tai didn't rush, "When His Highness the King of Wu was slandered before, I heard of a way to verify his integrity. You don't have to wait for the child to be born, you can take the amniotic fluid from the fetus in the mother's womb, and you can also verify the relationship. Now Father has not been buried in the imperial mausoleum, so it can be verified!"
The national head's face changed drastically, "Nonsense! I have never heard of such a method!"
"Reporting to my lord, this method is also recorded in ancient books." An imperial doctor said immediately.
The father-in-law's face was very ugly.
The atmosphere in front of the hall was tense and stagnant for a while.
"Report to the King of Wu, I'm dying." said the person responsible for the stick.
The civil servants in front of the palace couldn't help but feel in danger.
Li Tai nodded expressionlessly, "Take it down."
The civil official was dragged away, but the blood on the staff on the ground was impressive.
"Why don't you invite the empress to come?" Li Tai raised his eyebrows.
The head of the country naturally refused.
Unaware of his own camp, a person suddenly stood up, "Reporting to His Royal Highness, the minister suddenly remembered something. A few days ago, when the Empress went out of the palace, she saw her cousin from the Empress's natal family more than once, getting close to the resting place of the Empress... ..."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
The Holy Majesty's Lingering Hall suddenly felt a little out of place.
The national head's face turned pale, "This is slander! Slander! Nonsense!"
Li Tai coughed lightly, "Take down the head of the country!"
The head of the state thought that when he entered the palace, he brought a lot of henchmen, even if Li Tai wanted to, he didn't dare to touch him in the mourning hall.
Never thought, he really dared!
He first hit his party boss, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, and let his party boss's hearts fluctuate.
Then he suddenly pulled out the bottom line and gave the queen such a dirty name.
Take the opportunity to do it!
"Treacherous, cunning! Villain!" The head of the country cursed.
He brought a master by his side, just in case.
At this time, seeing that Li Tai had already made a move, he didn't care about putting on airs, and immediately asked his masters to escort him, trying to escape from the palace.
Li Tai scoffed lightly, "The winner and the loser, you are unscrupulous, so how can you accuse others of being treacherous and cunning?"
The masters around the head of the state are very skilled, but Li Tai is really planning to take advantage of this day to take him down in one fell swoop.
Even if his henchmen are here, he is not afraid.
"If you have the head of the country and the party leader, you can all stand up together." Li Tai smiled, his flirtatious face was full of coldness.
During the fight, Yuan Jiangtao's sharp sword fell into the chest of the abbot.
Yuan Jiangtao was injured by the palm of a master invited by the head of state.
But before he fell to the ground, he turned over and kicked the hilt fiercely.
The sharp sword pierced directly from the back of the head of the country.
In front of the Holy Spirit, there was a slaughter.
Bloodbath the mourning hall.
Li Tai didn't change his face, "Father, let these people follow you, so that you won't be alone all the way without anyone to accompany you."
After Li Tai finished speaking, he knelt down in front of the coffin, pretending to cry a few times.
After seven days of mourning, the late emperor was buried.
Although Li Tai did not proclaim himself emperor, King Wu handed over the military talisman, and King Ji was deposed as a prince and demoted to a commoner in his early years.
The posthumous son of the queen is also known as having sex with others.
As soon as the head of state died, the queen hanged herself.
Li Tai commanded all affairs in the palace and strategized, no different from being enthroned.
It's just a program missing.
After the holy burial, the voice of inviting the king of Yue to ascend the throne became louder and louder.
The minister asked three times, but the King of Yue refused repeatedly. This was just a formality, to deceive people and look good.
Let the people today see how humble His Royal Highness King Yue is.
In the future, it will be recorded again in the history books, and the name will go down in history!
These are all established routines.
Xiao Yuzhuo only hoped that Li Tai would bring Chongwu back to her properly!
I thought that Li Tai should let him go after Jing Yannian handed over the soldier talisman.
But Li Tai has been working on cleaning up the father-in-law's men and horses, and he didn't mention the matter of Chongwu.
When some people criticized Li Tai for being self-willed, several masters of the Xiao family immediately stood up to support the King of Yue.
Although the Xiao family had been watching the King of Wu, it was a bit late for the Yue King team to stand.
However, the King of Yue favored the Xiao family very much. Before he ascended the throne, he asked the officials to make a proposal to confer the title of Marquis to the Xiao family's great master.
Li Tai "couldn't refuse", so he could only "accept orders in the face of danger" when he ascended the throne as the monarch.
The civil servants and staff of all parties and factions couldn't sit still.
Once the emperor and the courtiers!
Now that the emperor has changed, it is time for the court to reshuffle the cards.
Li Tai's harem is empty and he has no heirs yet. This is a great opportunity.
The ministers said that "no heir is the greatest", the emperor's family has no personal affairs, the prince is the world's major event, and so on.
Li Tai was not in a hurry, and directly threw out the order "The first emperor died, and the country mourned for three years".
A national funeral is a big funeral, not to mention marrying a wife and taking concubines, but if you are idle and bored, it is disrespectful to ask the dancer at home to dance or the musician to play music.
You can't even laugh out loud when you're away from home.The only way to show mourning is to bow your head down, which is the respect for the late emperor to the heavenly family.
The emperor has decrees, and the ministers have countermeasures.
Marrying a wife and taking concubines is not enough for a national funeral, so let's send all the young women to the palace first!
It doesn't matter if you are lucky or not, let them all serve the emperor first, after all, at King Yue's age, it's time to have wives and concubines in groups, and children around his knees!
Now we should first cultivate and cultivate our feelings. Once the national funeral is over, we will be able to cultivate and grow children immediately.
The princes and nobles tried every means to cram people into the palace.
At this moment, Li Tai suddenly dropped a blockbuster.
"Ministers, are you so worried about my family affairs because you are afraid that the East Palace will be empty and there will be another chaos in the Great Xia?" Li Tai asked with a smile.
All the ministers even claimed that they were, and begged the Holy One to understand their painstaking efforts, all for the stability of Daxia's government.
Li Tai nodded with a smile, "My lovers, your hearts are commendable! But I already have a son!"
The ministers were surprised.
Li Tai nodded slightly to the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch immediately raised his voice and sang: "Please come to the palace——"
All the ministers were in doubt.
Didn't you hear that the Holy One had a son when he was still the King of Yue?
Not to mention the son of the concubine, even the child of the concubine, I have never heard of it!
But seeing that half-year-old, handsome-looking young man in a splendid attire entering the palace with his head held high, all the ministers' jaws were about to drop in shock!
When did Li Tai have such a big son?
The sharp-eyed person recognized it, "This... isn't this the prince of Wu..."
There was an uproar in the originally solemn court hall.
Even if the eunuch sang "Silence" two or three times, the voices of the ministers could not be quieted down.
What Li Tai did was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
After Chong Wu walked up to the main hall slowly, when Second Yu Sheng sat down on the left-hand seat, there were still many ministers whispering to each other in the main hall.
Li Tai looked at Chong Wu with warm and benevolent eyes.
Chong Wu bowed and nodded.
Li Tai's eyes turned to the ministers again.
"Li Yi was named Li Qianyi by me as early as the full moon. I have already selected a good day by the Ministry of Rites and included Li Qianyi in my family tree. From then on, he is my prince. If you have any objections, you can report them to me now." Li Tai said slowly.
His bloody lesson of directly killing a minister in front of the mourning hall of the former emperor is still alive.
Who dares to provoke him at this time?
What if he accidentally became the "chicken" he wanted to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" again?
Besides, he can choose whoever he wants to be his son, as long as the ministers have a direction in their hearts and know who they should curry favor with.
Now that Li Tai is young and strong, even if he becomes a crown prince, there are still many years to come.
With such a ready prince, the ministers have nothing else to say.
As for the ministers who were thinking of putting women beside Li Tai, they didn't stop thinking about it.
Anyway, the future is long, and they don't believe that Li Tai can still be a vegetarian?
After the court meeting, news came out.
It is said that after Chongwu is listed on the royal family tree and adopted under the name of the Holy One, he will be established as the prince.
It is not without precedent that the former emperor had no children, and adopted a stepchild from another brother.
It's just that like Li Tai, it's rare for him to adopt his brother's son at a young age.
Although Jing Yannian did not attend the court meeting, he heard about the matter that was closely related to him immediately.
He was taken aback immediately, before he had time to discuss with Xiao Yuzhuo, he directly asked for orders to enter the palace.
Jing Yannian did not enter the palace to see the Holy Majesty.
He went straight to Chong Wu, "My son, when the Holy Majesty left you in the palace, you said that he agreed to your conditions...is that the matter?"
Jing Yannian frowned, and his tone was rather severe.
Chong Wu was still somewhat afraid of his father.
When Dad asked him to practice martial arts, he didn't show any sympathy, just hit him whenever he wanted.
Seeing his father's solemn expression, he couldn't help taking a few steps back, "Yes, godfather said, if I beat him, he will make me the crown prince, and pass the throne to me in the future..."
"You..." Jing Yannian's heart fluttered, and anger surfaced, "Why do you have such ambitions?"
Chong Wu frowned, "A manly man wants to make contributions and dominate the world, what's wrong?"
Jing Yannian was startled.
"Daddy wants to be a great general, but I want to be someone who can command a great general. What's wrong?" Chong Wu spoke uprightly, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly in front of his father.
Jing Yannian frowned slightly. It seemed that what he said was true, but it was different from what he thought...
"I defeated my godfather, so my godfather recognized my identity as the prince in front of all the ministers! Godfather said that he will take me by his side in everything in the future, whether it is discussing state affairs with ministers, reviewing memorials, and handling government affairs. Daddy sincerely wants everyone to respect me so that I can learn more, doesn't Daddy think it's not good?" Chong Wu raised his immature face and looked at Jing Yannian.
Jing Yannian frowned, "It's not bad...just..."
His voice froze, and he felt a little depressed.
He paid little attention to this child, Chong Wu was born next to Li Tai, and when he was young, he was raised in Li Taiwan's palace.
After he was brought back to Chang'an at the age of three, he was busy putting down the rebellion. Even when he was taken to live in Wu Wangfu, father and son really got along, and there were very few times when they really sat down to talk.
I don't know so much about my son!
"It's just that if you adopt him as his son, you won't be able to call me Daddy in the future... When you start calling others Daddy but call me uncle, in my heart..." Thinking of that situation, Jing Yannian couldn't help but blush. Shen, let out a long sigh.
Chong Wu smiled, "Why is Daddy so sentimental like a lady?"
Jing Yannian blew his beard and stared, "You are unfilial! What are you talking about?"
Dare to say that I am like a woman? !
Jing Yannian reached out to grab him and beat him up.
Putting on airs, Chong Wu raised his hand to his lips and coughed softly, "Dad, calm down!"
Jing Yannian frowned slightly, feeling sour.
How long can he listen to this "Daddy"?
"I'm not impulsive. During this period of time, I've been living in the palace and I've been thinking about it. Although I'm young, I really have ambitions. If I don't ascend to that high position, my ambitions will become empty talk!" Wu Wu's voice was still childish, but he looked serious, and he was really calm when talking about big things.
Jing Yannian let out a long sigh.
The sense of indebtedness in his heart couldn't help but grow stronger.
"It was I who missed the process of your growth. People say 'knowing a son is better than a father', but I didn't know you still had such ideals and ambitions. My father has done a negligent job. What qualifications do I have to persuade you in the future?" Jing Yannian was originally Advise my son to come.
But he persuaded himself to leave the palace.
He didn't go to see Li Tai, but in the palace where Chong Wu lived, almost every word of the conversation between the two of them reached Li Tai's ears.
Xiao Yuzhuo was visiting the eldest princess at Xiao's house, and when he sent a lot of precious medicinal materials for the eldest princess to nourish her body, she heard the news that Chongwu became the prince.
Therefore, she and the Xiao family got the letter at the same time.
At that time, the elder of the Xiao family who was in court had not yet returned.
But the Xiao family has exploded.
"Okay, Yuyu really has a solution! Although King Wu did not seize power, King Wu gave birth to a promising son!" The old lady said with a smile, sipping tea.
The second lady of the Xiao family lowered her head and whispered, "Chongwu was not born in the palace, or even in Chang'an. Is it possible that he is the son of the current emperor?"
"Shut up!" The old lady lifted the tea bowl and wanted to hit the second lady on the head.
If she was young, this teacup would have already been on the second lady's face.
As people get older, their movements become more and more sluggish, and sometimes a pause can extinguish a lot of anger in their hearts.
The old lady's face darkened, "Is it allowed to say what you want? Don't say that King Wu will be angry if he hears it, even if Yuyu hears it, he won't spare you!"
The second lady accompanied her with a smiling face, and answered again and again, "But mother... didn't you dislike the princess in the past? Why are you now..."
The old lady snorted softly, "You probably haven't visited her Yufu, have you? Don't underestimate her, she has never been under the protection of the Xiao family! Now that her son has become a prince, it is more likely that she will be taken care of by the Xiao family." As the crown prince, the Xiao family will still rely on her for protection in the future!"
The second lady immediately lowered her head, even the old lady scolded her for being a fool, but she didn't refute.
The Xiao family is happy to see this matter come to fruition.
No matter whose son Chongwu is, the Xiao family is a ready-made grandparent's family, and this relationship cannot be broken.
Xiao Yuzhuo is not optimistic about this matter.
"Aniang, Chong Wu used to be by your side when he was young. Do you know when he had such an idea? Greedy for vanity, attached to power? I..." Xiao Yuzhuo was quite heartbroken.
When the eldest princess heard that her grandson was not good, she immediately pulled her face down, even if the person who said this was her own daughter, that would not work.
"Why are you so obsessed with vanity and power? What do you say? Don't use your thoughts and vision to judge others! My grandson Chongwu has his own ideas since he was a child! He is not old, but his mind is Sophisticated and mature, everyone doesn't want to be an emperor, who will govern the world? Everyone wants to be free, who will worry about the affairs of the country?" The eldest princess snorted coldly.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "This temper doesn't follow me and Xiuyuan..."
"Is it good to follow you and King Wu? Just think about it, when he was by your side, what were you planning every day? As a woman, you worry about things outside all day long. He is in the inner house, and now he is so old, but you and King Wu are still not together! You ask who he is with?" The eldest princess was very displeased.
(End of this chapter)
The old lady raised her face, "The Xiao family doesn't necessarily have to support King Wu."
King Wu nodded and thanked the old lady, his expression was still calm.
The old lady was a little annoyed, annoyed that Xiao Yuzhuo didn't plan for her mother's family at this time.
Seems to be annoyed by something else.
After seeing the Yu Mansion, the old lady thought of Xiao Yuzhuo and felt uncomfortable everywhere.
What was she still angry about, she couldn't tell herself.
"The Xiao family is probably in a panic, the old lady can't sit still." Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly and sat down on the soft couch.
"If Li Tai gains power, you and I are afraid that we will leave Chang'an." Jing Yannian squinted at her, "I am no longer a general, let alone a prince, will Yuyu despise me?"
Xiao Yuzhuo was startled, and snorted softly, "That's right, why did I forget? Why don't I go find Li Tai and see if he can give me the seat of queen? It's not a queen, imperial concubine or something, that's okay. "
Jing Yannian's expression froze suddenly, "Try it!"
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "You don't care about the throne, but I'm so reluctant to part with glory and wealth? How underestimated!"
When Jing Yannian heard this, he held her tightly in his arms, "I'm afraid you will regret it, you will regret it..."
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "You see me desperately doing business, trying my best to amass wealth, building literary and martial arts gyms, and even attracting forces in the world, do you think I am greedy for vanity? Greedy for power?"
Jing Yannian stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, "Sometimes you are indeed incomprehensible."
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, his eyes drooping slightly.
She feels uneasy...
"Xiuyuan, tell me, if one day you find out that I am me, but not me... What will you do?" She asked in a very soft voice.
Jing Yannian was taken aback when he heard the words, "I realized that you are not the old you."
Xiao Yuzhuo was shocked when he heard the words, his heart tightened suddenly, and he looked at Jing Yannian with trembling eyes.
Jing Yan smiled young, "People will change. I have changed a lot from the past to the present?"
Xiao Yuzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and hummed vaguely.
……
The turmoil in Chang'an has subsided.
Li Tai dominates the palace, and his rivals are nothing more than the queen and the king of Wu.
Other forces are not enough to compete with him, he mainly focuses on attracting, and when he sees rebellious momentum, attacking them is supplementary.
He occupies the imperial palace, but has not rashly proclaimed himself emperor.
Everyone could understand his thoughts.
But the momentum of counterattack is too strong, now he is only living in the palace under the pretext of honoring the prince and guarding the spirit.
With Chong Wu by his side, he doesn't have to be afraid that Jing Yannian will act rashly now.
But the queen's natal family is a major obstacle to his ascension to the throne.
The queen's natal family can instigate limited generals, most of whom are military officers recruited in private.
Li Tai dealt with the father-in-law very simply.
He directly opened the gate of the palace and asked all the civil servants to enter the palace to express their condolences.
This was the last journey to send off the late emperor, and the officials could not shirk their excuses due to emotion and reason, they could only honestly come to the palace to express their condolences.
But the palace is now under the control of King Yue.
After entering the palace, wouldn't it mean that he put his wealth and life in the hands of King Yue?
The father-in-law didn't dare to go, but he didn't dare not to go!
If you go, maybe you will go and never return.
If you don't go, it will be difficult to explain to the Daxia people who uphold the thought of loyalty and ethics.
If you lose control of the palace, you have already lost the opportunity.
After much deliberation, the national patriarch finally found a compromise.
When he went to mourn, he did not go alone.
He recruited many civil servants and followers to go with him.
The three of them became tigers. He didn't believe that the king of Yue dared to do anything wrong, and dared to do something to him in front of so many people.
When the head of state entered the palace to pay his respects, Li Tai was kneeling in front of the emperor's coffin.
It is impossible for the head of the state to bring too many people into the palace, and he can't bring them in either.
The accompanying guards are all masters of the master, in case of any emergency, they can save his life.
The head of state wept bitterly at the coffin.
He had already lost [-]% of the battle with the King of Yue.
But he was unwilling.
After he paid his condolences, he stood aside, and some of his henchmen suddenly threatened that the king of Yue was unfilial and forced the empress to leave the palace.
He even has the intention of murdering the emperor's heir in the empress's womb.
King Yue had neither joy nor anger on his face, he knelt before the spirit and listened quietly.
After the head of the state had finished speaking, a member of the king of Yue suddenly stood up and said, "A country cannot be without a king for a day. The city of Chang'an has been in chaos for two days after the death of the sage. If the king of Yue hadn't stepped forward, Chang'an would have been in chaos." when."
The father-in-law's heart tightened, this is paving the way for the next words!
"The only ones who can take care of the overall situation now are King Wu and King Yue." The minister said, "The Holy Majesty did not establish a crown prince, nor did he leave a will."
Li Tai knelt and did not move.
The ministers looked around, "Why don't you see King Wu come to offer condolences?"
The ministers in the palace were nervous for a while.
They all wondered if King Wu still wanted to win the throne if he didn't come now.
Then they are all in the palace, isn't it dangerous?
If the king of Wu surrounded the palace, if the king of Yue lost to the king of Wu, wouldn't they all be taken over by one pot?
When the bottom is whispering.
Suddenly, a guard reported.
"The king of Wu offered the funeral."
It was Liao Changsheng who presented the funeral on behalf of King Wu.
Jing Yannian still did not show up in person.
Liao Changsheng held up a jet-black lacquer plate covered with a black cloth.
The things in the lacquer plate are invisible to everyone.
Liao Changsheng stepped forward steadily.
Everyone was guessing, what was in the lacquer tray?
But looking at Liao Changsheng's face, he couldn't guess it.
Li Tai got up, stood in front of the coffin, and looked at Liao Changsheng coldly, "Why, didn't he come to express condolences in person at the funeral of the emperor? King Wu is so arrogant?"
Liao Changsheng raised the lacquer plate above his head and knelt on one knee outside the Lingling Hall.
"The king of Wu fell ill because of his grief and was unable to get up from his bed. The king of Wu said that his sincerity was all in this funeral. Please ask the king of Yue to check it himself."
Li Tai narrowed his eyes.
He turned his head and glanced behind a kind of eunuch guard.
Chong Wu was in the protective circle of that group of eunuchs and guards.
Li Tai stepped forward and stood in front of Liao Changsheng, "What kind of gift is this King Wu gave?"
"The king of Yue will know it at a glance." Liao Changsheng sent the lacquer plate forward again.
Li Tai raised his hand slowly, pinching the corner of the black drape, he paused for a moment, then pulled the drape abruptly.
The people who were waiting around couldn't help but take a deep breath when they saw the things under Gebu.
The Guozhang and others stood lower, unable to see what was inside, and kept guessing in their hearts.
King Yue chuckled twice.
"I accept King Wu's sincerity." After speaking, he picked up the things on the lacquer plate.
The thing reflected the sun, exuding a cold and chilling radiance.
Guo Zhang and the others looked slightly sideways.
Looking at it this way, I was very surprised.
"It's a soldier talisman!" Someone exclaimed.
The head of the state shook his body.
It's not as good as King Wu has the heart to seize power!It would be better if King Wu immediately surrounded the palace!
When cranes and clams compete, the fisherman still has the possibility of profiting!
But now?King Wu handed over the soldier talisman!
King Wu didn't even fight!
All Chang'an forces fell into the hands of the King of Yue!
The abbot's face turned pale.
"Who said that this king was disloyal and unfilial just now?" King Yue raised his voice and asked.
The ministers behind the head of state were shocked.
Does the King of Yue hold grudges like this?Let's not wait, is it time to settle accounts now?
The abbot's face turned red.
Those are his henchmen, if he doesn't speak out at this time, who else will rely on him?
He suddenly took a step forward, "The Empress is pregnant with the offspring of the Holy Majesty, and the Majesty died suddenly. The Empress Dowager should stay in the palace, but His Royal Highness King Yue wants to kill the Empress Empress and all the offspring in the womb of the Holy Majesty. Judging is not disloyalty or filial piety, what is it?"
The king of Yue sneered, "If the empress hadn't locked the palace gate and didn't allow my father's body to be buried in the palace, why would I storm the imperial city? Why did I ever say that the empress is not allowed to stay in the palace? Why did I ever make a move to murder the empress?" The behavior of the child in the womb? These words are just fabricated by you to smear me, have you ever had any evidence to correct them?"
The head of state froze.
"I haven't asked the father-in-law yet. My father is still outside the palace, but the imperial city is locked from the inside. Who gave the order to lock the imperial city? Why did the forbidden army talisman fall into the hands of the queen? The queen The empress is just a woman in the harem, how can she mobilize the imperial army? Who is it that commanded the imperial army and did not allow my father to enter the palace to be buried?" King Yue asked forcefully.
The head of state frowned, blushed but did not answer.
Li Tai snorted coldly, ignored him, but raised his finger to express his condolences just now, saying that he was disloyal and filial to the minister.
"Come on, let me take down those who falsely accuse and slander me in front of my father's spirit!" Li Tai ordered.
The head of the state was furious.
"Li Tai, you are presumptuous!"
Li Tai looked at the father-in-law coldly, "This presumptuousness, where do you start?"
"This is in front of the Holy Spirit. Even if you are busy eliminating dissidents, you shouldn't be in front of the Holy Spirit! You are disrespecting the Holy Spirit." The head of the country gasped with anger when he spoke.
Li Tai smiled, "No, I firmly believe that the emperor's spirit is in the sky, and I am watching. This minister blatantly accuses me of this king. If I don't punish such a sycophantic minister in front of my father, my father's spirit in heaven will not be able to rest in peace." .”
Li Tai's personality is different from Jing Yannian's. No matter what he wants to do, no matter the good or the bad, no one can stop him.
With a wave of his finger, someone immediately held down the minister.
The minister struggled endlessly and cursed at Li Tai.
On Li Tai's flirtatious face, there was an evil and charming smile, "Stand dead."
He spat out two words coldly.
The inside and outside of the entire hall where the spirit stopped was extremely cold like a gust of wind.
The minister was pressed in front of the hall, and the board used by Zhang Xing seemed to have been prepared early in the morning.
Two guards held down the minister, and another executioner stepped forward, and the sound of cracking boards immediately rang out.
A group of civil servants never thought that they would encounter such a scene.
If a general can resist a few boards.
Most of the civil servants are weak, and when they go down three or five times, their screaming voices are broken.
The king's face was ugly.
He was out of breath and was about to speak.
Li Tai was one step ahead of him, "By the way, there is one more thing, I've always wondered... send the imperial physician."
The head of the state frowned at him, wondering what tricks he was going to play at this time.
He pursed his lips and said nothing, and the imperial physician was called forward.
Li Tai squinted his eyes and asked, "I heard that my father has been taking drugs. This medicine is both good and evil, and it is very poisonous."
The imperial doctor nodded again and again, "Yes, although A Furong can be used as medicine, its harm is astonishing. As early as when it was discovered, it spread its dangers in various places in Daxia. The elder of the Xiao family wrote his own experience to warn the world. Master Xiao's book Drawing cartoons is a warning.”
Li Tai nodded, "If I remember correctly, taking drugs for a long time will make men unable to carry on the family?"
"But it has the effect of killing sperm." The imperial physician said immediately.
The father-in-law's face immediately changed drastically.
Li Tai is going to draw the bottom line!
He was about to speak right away.
But someone stepped forward and covered his mouth.
Everyone's eyes fell on Guo Zhang, but no one dared to step forward to help.
"Don't be in a hurry, the king. If you have anything to say, after the king finishes asking, I will naturally let you talk about it." Li Tai smiled charmingly, "Who are the imperial physicians who take the pulse of the emperor every day?"
Four or five elderly imperial physicians stepped forward.
Li Tai lowered his eyes and asked, "My father is past the age of knowing the destiny, and he eats more drugs to refresh himself. You ask for pulse every day, but do you ever know if he still has the ability to give birth?"
It's really inappropriate for Li Tai to ask such a question in front of all the ministers and the Holy Majesty's mourning hall.
But in front of the hall, there was a civil official who was beaten, screaming, and the screams became weaker and weaker.
Who would dare to question what he asked right now?
"The holy dragon is not in good health, and he can no longer have a son. In the past three to five years, there has been no joy of having a baby in the palace!" An imperial physician said boldly.
Even if the other imperial physicians did not agree, they did not dare to stand up and refute it openly.
The head of the country has been running the court for so many years, so the Imperial Hospital naturally has his connections.
But now the situation is pressing, even his people don't dare to speak for him at the moment.
Li Tai laughed when he heard the words, "Yeah, I haven't had a younger brother or sister for many years, why is it that at this time, the empress is pregnant when she says she is pregnant?"
The head of state stomped his feet angrily.
Li Tai waved his hand, "Let's go, let the head of the country have something to say? Let him say it."
The head of the state let go of the back of his hand, and he cursed angrily, "Li Tai, don't bully others too much, you have bribed the imperial physician and occupied the palace, naturally you can say whatever you want the imperial physician to say!"
Li Tai didn't rush, "When His Highness the King of Wu was slandered before, I heard of a way to verify his integrity. You don't have to wait for the child to be born, you can take the amniotic fluid from the fetus in the mother's womb, and you can also verify the relationship. Now Father has not been buried in the imperial mausoleum, so it can be verified!"
The national head's face changed drastically, "Nonsense! I have never heard of such a method!"
"Reporting to my lord, this method is also recorded in ancient books." An imperial doctor said immediately.
The father-in-law's face was very ugly.
The atmosphere in front of the hall was tense and stagnant for a while.
"Report to the King of Wu, I'm dying." said the person responsible for the stick.
The civil servants in front of the palace couldn't help but feel in danger.
Li Tai nodded expressionlessly, "Take it down."
The civil official was dragged away, but the blood on the staff on the ground was impressive.
"Why don't you invite the empress to come?" Li Tai raised his eyebrows.
The head of the country naturally refused.
Unaware of his own camp, a person suddenly stood up, "Reporting to His Royal Highness, the minister suddenly remembered something. A few days ago, when the Empress went out of the palace, she saw her cousin from the Empress's natal family more than once, getting close to the resting place of the Empress... ..."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
The Holy Majesty's Lingering Hall suddenly felt a little out of place.
The national head's face turned pale, "This is slander! Slander! Nonsense!"
Li Tai coughed lightly, "Take down the head of the country!"
The head of the state thought that when he entered the palace, he brought a lot of henchmen, even if Li Tai wanted to, he didn't dare to touch him in the mourning hall.
Never thought, he really dared!
He first hit his party boss, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, and let his party boss's hearts fluctuate.
Then he suddenly pulled out the bottom line and gave the queen such a dirty name.
Take the opportunity to do it!
"Treacherous, cunning! Villain!" The head of the country cursed.
He brought a master by his side, just in case.
At this time, seeing that Li Tai had already made a move, he didn't care about putting on airs, and immediately asked his masters to escort him, trying to escape from the palace.
Li Tai scoffed lightly, "The winner and the loser, you are unscrupulous, so how can you accuse others of being treacherous and cunning?"
The masters around the head of the state are very skilled, but Li Tai is really planning to take advantage of this day to take him down in one fell swoop.
Even if his henchmen are here, he is not afraid.
"If you have the head of the country and the party leader, you can all stand up together." Li Tai smiled, his flirtatious face was full of coldness.
During the fight, Yuan Jiangtao's sharp sword fell into the chest of the abbot.
Yuan Jiangtao was injured by the palm of a master invited by the head of state.
But before he fell to the ground, he turned over and kicked the hilt fiercely.
The sharp sword pierced directly from the back of the head of the country.
In front of the Holy Spirit, there was a slaughter.
Bloodbath the mourning hall.
Li Tai didn't change his face, "Father, let these people follow you, so that you won't be alone all the way without anyone to accompany you."
After Li Tai finished speaking, he knelt down in front of the coffin, pretending to cry a few times.
After seven days of mourning, the late emperor was buried.
Although Li Tai did not proclaim himself emperor, King Wu handed over the military talisman, and King Ji was deposed as a prince and demoted to a commoner in his early years.
The posthumous son of the queen is also known as having sex with others.
As soon as the head of state died, the queen hanged herself.
Li Tai commanded all affairs in the palace and strategized, no different from being enthroned.
It's just a program missing.
After the holy burial, the voice of inviting the king of Yue to ascend the throne became louder and louder.
The minister asked three times, but the King of Yue refused repeatedly. This was just a formality, to deceive people and look good.
Let the people today see how humble His Royal Highness King Yue is.
In the future, it will be recorded again in the history books, and the name will go down in history!
These are all established routines.
Xiao Yuzhuo only hoped that Li Tai would bring Chongwu back to her properly!
I thought that Li Tai should let him go after Jing Yannian handed over the soldier talisman.
But Li Tai has been working on cleaning up the father-in-law's men and horses, and he didn't mention the matter of Chongwu.
When some people criticized Li Tai for being self-willed, several masters of the Xiao family immediately stood up to support the King of Yue.
Although the Xiao family had been watching the King of Wu, it was a bit late for the Yue King team to stand.
However, the King of Yue favored the Xiao family very much. Before he ascended the throne, he asked the officials to make a proposal to confer the title of Marquis to the Xiao family's great master.
Li Tai "couldn't refuse", so he could only "accept orders in the face of danger" when he ascended the throne as the monarch.
The civil servants and staff of all parties and factions couldn't sit still.
Once the emperor and the courtiers!
Now that the emperor has changed, it is time for the court to reshuffle the cards.
Li Tai's harem is empty and he has no heirs yet. This is a great opportunity.
The ministers said that "no heir is the greatest", the emperor's family has no personal affairs, the prince is the world's major event, and so on.
Li Tai was not in a hurry, and directly threw out the order "The first emperor died, and the country mourned for three years".
A national funeral is a big funeral, not to mention marrying a wife and taking concubines, but if you are idle and bored, it is disrespectful to ask the dancer at home to dance or the musician to play music.
You can't even laugh out loud when you're away from home.The only way to show mourning is to bow your head down, which is the respect for the late emperor to the heavenly family.
The emperor has decrees, and the ministers have countermeasures.
Marrying a wife and taking concubines is not enough for a national funeral, so let's send all the young women to the palace first!
It doesn't matter if you are lucky or not, let them all serve the emperor first, after all, at King Yue's age, it's time to have wives and concubines in groups, and children around his knees!
Now we should first cultivate and cultivate our feelings. Once the national funeral is over, we will be able to cultivate and grow children immediately.
The princes and nobles tried every means to cram people into the palace.
At this moment, Li Tai suddenly dropped a blockbuster.
"Ministers, are you so worried about my family affairs because you are afraid that the East Palace will be empty and there will be another chaos in the Great Xia?" Li Tai asked with a smile.
All the ministers even claimed that they were, and begged the Holy One to understand their painstaking efforts, all for the stability of Daxia's government.
Li Tai nodded with a smile, "My lovers, your hearts are commendable! But I already have a son!"
The ministers were surprised.
Li Tai nodded slightly to the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch immediately raised his voice and sang: "Please come to the palace——"
All the ministers were in doubt.
Didn't you hear that the Holy One had a son when he was still the King of Yue?
Not to mention the son of the concubine, even the child of the concubine, I have never heard of it!
But seeing that half-year-old, handsome-looking young man in a splendid attire entering the palace with his head held high, all the ministers' jaws were about to drop in shock!
When did Li Tai have such a big son?
The sharp-eyed person recognized it, "This... isn't this the prince of Wu..."
There was an uproar in the originally solemn court hall.
Even if the eunuch sang "Silence" two or three times, the voices of the ministers could not be quieted down.
What Li Tai did was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
After Chong Wu walked up to the main hall slowly, when Second Yu Sheng sat down on the left-hand seat, there were still many ministers whispering to each other in the main hall.
Li Tai looked at Chong Wu with warm and benevolent eyes.
Chong Wu bowed and nodded.
Li Tai's eyes turned to the ministers again.
"Li Yi was named Li Qianyi by me as early as the full moon. I have already selected a good day by the Ministry of Rites and included Li Qianyi in my family tree. From then on, he is my prince. If you have any objections, you can report them to me now." Li Tai said slowly.
His bloody lesson of directly killing a minister in front of the mourning hall of the former emperor is still alive.
Who dares to provoke him at this time?
What if he accidentally became the "chicken" he wanted to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" again?
Besides, he can choose whoever he wants to be his son, as long as the ministers have a direction in their hearts and know who they should curry favor with.
Now that Li Tai is young and strong, even if he becomes a crown prince, there are still many years to come.
With such a ready prince, the ministers have nothing else to say.
As for the ministers who were thinking of putting women beside Li Tai, they didn't stop thinking about it.
Anyway, the future is long, and they don't believe that Li Tai can still be a vegetarian?
After the court meeting, news came out.
It is said that after Chongwu is listed on the royal family tree and adopted under the name of the Holy One, he will be established as the prince.
It is not without precedent that the former emperor had no children, and adopted a stepchild from another brother.
It's just that like Li Tai, it's rare for him to adopt his brother's son at a young age.
Although Jing Yannian did not attend the court meeting, he heard about the matter that was closely related to him immediately.
He was taken aback immediately, before he had time to discuss with Xiao Yuzhuo, he directly asked for orders to enter the palace.
Jing Yannian did not enter the palace to see the Holy Majesty.
He went straight to Chong Wu, "My son, when the Holy Majesty left you in the palace, you said that he agreed to your conditions...is that the matter?"
Jing Yannian frowned, and his tone was rather severe.
Chong Wu was still somewhat afraid of his father.
When Dad asked him to practice martial arts, he didn't show any sympathy, just hit him whenever he wanted.
Seeing his father's solemn expression, he couldn't help taking a few steps back, "Yes, godfather said, if I beat him, he will make me the crown prince, and pass the throne to me in the future..."
"You..." Jing Yannian's heart fluttered, and anger surfaced, "Why do you have such ambitions?"
Chong Wu frowned, "A manly man wants to make contributions and dominate the world, what's wrong?"
Jing Yannian was startled.
"Daddy wants to be a great general, but I want to be someone who can command a great general. What's wrong?" Chong Wu spoke uprightly, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly in front of his father.
Jing Yannian frowned slightly. It seemed that what he said was true, but it was different from what he thought...
"I defeated my godfather, so my godfather recognized my identity as the prince in front of all the ministers! Godfather said that he will take me by his side in everything in the future, whether it is discussing state affairs with ministers, reviewing memorials, and handling government affairs. Daddy sincerely wants everyone to respect me so that I can learn more, doesn't Daddy think it's not good?" Chong Wu raised his immature face and looked at Jing Yannian.
Jing Yannian frowned, "It's not bad...just..."
His voice froze, and he felt a little depressed.
He paid little attention to this child, Chong Wu was born next to Li Tai, and when he was young, he was raised in Li Taiwan's palace.
After he was brought back to Chang'an at the age of three, he was busy putting down the rebellion. Even when he was taken to live in Wu Wangfu, father and son really got along, and there were very few times when they really sat down to talk.
I don't know so much about my son!
"It's just that if you adopt him as his son, you won't be able to call me Daddy in the future... When you start calling others Daddy but call me uncle, in my heart..." Thinking of that situation, Jing Yannian couldn't help but blush. Shen, let out a long sigh.
Chong Wu smiled, "Why is Daddy so sentimental like a lady?"
Jing Yannian blew his beard and stared, "You are unfilial! What are you talking about?"
Dare to say that I am like a woman? !
Jing Yannian reached out to grab him and beat him up.
Putting on airs, Chong Wu raised his hand to his lips and coughed softly, "Dad, calm down!"
Jing Yannian frowned slightly, feeling sour.
How long can he listen to this "Daddy"?
"I'm not impulsive. During this period of time, I've been living in the palace and I've been thinking about it. Although I'm young, I really have ambitions. If I don't ascend to that high position, my ambitions will become empty talk!" Wu Wu's voice was still childish, but he looked serious, and he was really calm when talking about big things.
Jing Yannian let out a long sigh.
The sense of indebtedness in his heart couldn't help but grow stronger.
"It was I who missed the process of your growth. People say 'knowing a son is better than a father', but I didn't know you still had such ideals and ambitions. My father has done a negligent job. What qualifications do I have to persuade you in the future?" Jing Yannian was originally Advise my son to come.
But he persuaded himself to leave the palace.
He didn't go to see Li Tai, but in the palace where Chong Wu lived, almost every word of the conversation between the two of them reached Li Tai's ears.
Xiao Yuzhuo was visiting the eldest princess at Xiao's house, and when he sent a lot of precious medicinal materials for the eldest princess to nourish her body, she heard the news that Chongwu became the prince.
Therefore, she and the Xiao family got the letter at the same time.
At that time, the elder of the Xiao family who was in court had not yet returned.
But the Xiao family has exploded.
"Okay, Yuyu really has a solution! Although King Wu did not seize power, King Wu gave birth to a promising son!" The old lady said with a smile, sipping tea.
The second lady of the Xiao family lowered her head and whispered, "Chongwu was not born in the palace, or even in Chang'an. Is it possible that he is the son of the current emperor?"
"Shut up!" The old lady lifted the tea bowl and wanted to hit the second lady on the head.
If she was young, this teacup would have already been on the second lady's face.
As people get older, their movements become more and more sluggish, and sometimes a pause can extinguish a lot of anger in their hearts.
The old lady's face darkened, "Is it allowed to say what you want? Don't say that King Wu will be angry if he hears it, even if Yuyu hears it, he won't spare you!"
The second lady accompanied her with a smiling face, and answered again and again, "But mother... didn't you dislike the princess in the past? Why are you now..."
The old lady snorted softly, "You probably haven't visited her Yufu, have you? Don't underestimate her, she has never been under the protection of the Xiao family! Now that her son has become a prince, it is more likely that she will be taken care of by the Xiao family." As the crown prince, the Xiao family will still rely on her for protection in the future!"
The second lady immediately lowered her head, even the old lady scolded her for being a fool, but she didn't refute.
The Xiao family is happy to see this matter come to fruition.
No matter whose son Chongwu is, the Xiao family is a ready-made grandparent's family, and this relationship cannot be broken.
Xiao Yuzhuo is not optimistic about this matter.
"Aniang, Chong Wu used to be by your side when he was young. Do you know when he had such an idea? Greedy for vanity, attached to power? I..." Xiao Yuzhuo was quite heartbroken.
When the eldest princess heard that her grandson was not good, she immediately pulled her face down, even if the person who said this was her own daughter, that would not work.
"Why are you so obsessed with vanity and power? What do you say? Don't use your thoughts and vision to judge others! My grandson Chongwu has his own ideas since he was a child! He is not old, but his mind is Sophisticated and mature, everyone doesn't want to be an emperor, who will govern the world? Everyone wants to be free, who will worry about the affairs of the country?" The eldest princess snorted coldly.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "This temper doesn't follow me and Xiuyuan..."
"Is it good to follow you and King Wu? Just think about it, when he was by your side, what were you planning every day? As a woman, you worry about things outside all day long. He is in the inner house, and now he is so old, but you and King Wu are still not together! You ask who he is with?" The eldest princess was very displeased.
