Fenghua husband and splendid wife

Chapter 662 One escapes! (2)
Now that the fourth prince has disappeared suddenly, it is inevitable that it will cause quite a stir.

All kinds of rumors unfavorable to the new emperor slowly began to spread.

Some people said that the new emperor was dissatisfied with the fourth prince, because his mother and concubine had stolen the emperor's gold medal and wronged the new emperor's uncle, etc., so people secretly attacked the fourth prince.

Others said that it stands to reason that when the new emperor ascends the throne, it would be inappropriate to call him fourth prince.If it is said that he has no hostility towards the fourth prince, no one will believe him.

No matter what the courtiers talked about, the disappearance of the four princes was a fact.

The new emperor sent a lot of people to start looking around, but there was no trace.

On the fifth day when the fourth prince disappeared, the new emperor suddenly issued an edict, canonizing the younger brother of the fifth emperor as Lian Wang and Xiao Yunfu as Shou Wang.But the four emperors suddenly fell ill and died unexpectedly, and they were posthumously crowned King of Xiang.

The news of the fourth prince's disappearance was originally unknown to the people below.

After all, for such a major event, the emperor naturally issued an order to conceal it early.

But paper can't hold the fire, tea houses and restaurants, and it is inevitable that some officials or housekeepers of big families will come here for entertainment.As time goes by, it will be impossible to hide it.

Now that the emperor's decree came out, the common people naturally didn't believe it.

The fourth prince was young and had been in good health before, so how could he suddenly die suddenly?Could it be that the emperor did not like him and executed him secretly?

Although the people don't care about this kind of thing, it is inevitable that they will discuss it in a meeting. Of course, they dare not discuss it loudly. They still want to live for two more years.

After Sangqiu Zirui confessed that he had no intention of becoming an official in the court, the new emperor tried to persuade him to stay, but it still didn't work, so he could only give up in the end.But at this time, Xiao Yunfang will inevitably feel a little upset. In this state of mind, the first thing he thinks of is always Sangqiu Zirui.

Although he felt that he was not bad, he had indeed lost his mind about such a difficult matter now.

"My Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you to the Fushou Palace."

Now that the empress has been promoted to empress dowager, it is naturally not suitable to live in Kunning Palace. Fushou Palace is where the empress dowagers of all generations lived. In order not to cause trouble to the emperor, the empress dowager moved out of Kunning Palace early. At the same time, it is also a reminder to the emperor , It's time for him to become a concubine.

Xiao Yunfang had been hinted by Sangqiu Zirui before that Sangqiu's family would no longer send women into the palace, it was also for the peace of the emperor's harem.The Sancho family now has a queen mother, which is already a great honor for the Sancho family.

After Xiao Yunfang first heard what Sangqiu Zirui meant, he also pondered for a long time. He was worried that his mother would not agree with Sangqiu's family's actions.

But unexpectedly, Sangqiu Zirui replied to him that he had obtained the Queen Mother's consent.No matter whether they send the woman into the palace or not, the Sanqiu family will never betray the emperor. After all, half of the emperor's body is the blood of the Sanqiu family.

Xiao Yunfang understood that Sangqiu Zirui was demonstrating to him what it means to retreat bravely.

And this, in fact, was a result he wanted.

Xiao Yun sat in the imperial study for a while, then got up and went to Fushou Palace, feeling distraught at the moment, perhaps, the empress mother could give him one or two pieces of advice.

When Xiao Yun was placed in the Fushou Palace, he found that the Empress Dowager was tending to a few pots of flowers, and there were several kinds of pink roses planted under the corridor, which were also in full bloom at this time.

Xiao Yunfang was on the corridor watching the Queen Mother take care of the flowers and plants gently and carefully. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew by, and he could still smell the fragrance of roses.

Xiao Yunfang suddenly closed his eyes slightly, and then took a deep breath, feeling that the previous irritability had gradually diminished.

The Empress Dowager naturally noticed the emperor's arrival, but ignored him until she finished taking care of the flowers in front of her eyes, then turned her head and looked at the emperor standing beside her.

Xiao Yunfang also opened his eyes at this time, took two steps forward, and said with a smile, "Greetings to the empress."

The queen mother smiled and waved her hands, and helped him up, "The emperor was buried not long ago, and the palace is not allowed to wear too bright clothes, and Ai's family can barely see them when they see these flowers and plants. A touch of color."

"If the queen mother wants to look gorgeous, just ask the palace people to wear it. Does anyone in the harem dare to question the queen mother?"

As the emperor spoke, he helped the queen mother to walk slowly into the hall.

The queen mother sighed softly, "In the past, there was the former emperor and Concubine Mei. At that time, the Ai family always thought, how long can I sit in the position of empress? My emperor, can I wait till the end?" The day when my Sanqiu people returned. For more than ten years, the Ai family has lived in fear for more than ten years, and almost cannot sleep at night. I am afraid that someone will harm our mother and child when I am asleep. "

Xiao Yunfang also had feelings for a moment, "What the mother said is true. Those days, I will never forget those days in my life."

"What son? You are the emperor now, you should call yourself Zhen." The Queen Mother reprimanded with a smile.

Xiao Yunfang didn't care, and smiled, "In front of the mother, the son will always be the son. If there is no mother's forbearance for more than ten years, and the support of the grandfather and uncles, how can the son be where he is today?"

The queen mother nodded, and patted the back of his hand with one hand, "It's good that you understand. These years, my father and the others seem to be far away from Liangcheng. Except for San Qiulie, there is no one else in the capital for our mother and son to rely on. But in fact, which of the money and manpower in your hands and mine was not given by your grandfather?"

"Yes, my son dare not forget his grandfather's support for many years."

The queen mother sat down and motioned for the emperor to sit.

"Your Majesty, the sudden death of the King of Xiang will inevitably attract people's doubts. This is a very normal thing. It would be strange if no one said anything. Therefore, the Emperor does not need to worry about this. As the king of a country, when Take a long-term view. At least, you can't be affected by such trivial things."

"What the queen mother taught is that the son must remember."

"No! The queen mother is not trying to instill some great principles in you." The queen mother waved her hand, "If you want to divert the attention of these people, you don't take the initiative to defend yourself. As an emperor, you can't lower your status. They Whether it's the courtiers or the common people, let them say whatever they like. No matter how you say it, how can you say that King Xiang is a god?"
