Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 616 Sudden
Chu Mochen's thoughts coincided with those of Dingbeihou.

Ming concubine is not dead, Ding Beihou has to look at Ming concubine's intentions if he wants to trouble King Heng.

After "Ming Concubine" died, Ding Beihou decided what to do from the moment he saw Ming Concubine's body.

It's just that the funeral of Ming concubine is the most important thing now, and everything will be discussed after Ming concubine is buried.

Unexpectedly, Chu Mochen would discover the secret that the concubine was a fake, saving them from grief and grief.

Thinking of Ming concubine, Dingbeihou felt very sad, because this was the second time that Dingbeihou's mansion had given Ming concubine a funeral.

Ming concubine was murdered and fell off a cliff. They were misled and searched for a long time at the foot of the mountain, but they couldn't find Ming concubine's body, so they could only prepare a tomb for her. The day Ming concubine and Xi'er returned home happened to be her burial in the tomb. day.

This time, a mourning hall was set up, and if Chu Mochen hadn't been vigilant, the Hou Mansion would have mistaken her for her and buried her in the ancestral grave.

Thinking of what happened to Ming concubine, Su's heart ached. Her daughter suffered a lot. She was ridiculed for her stupidity before, and she finally got better, but she was involved in right and wrong, and she didn't have a few days to live a peaceful life.

Chu Mochen and Dingbeihou stayed in the study for half an hour.

After leaving the study, Chu Mochen went back to Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and Dingbeihou went to Su's house.

No one knew what they discussed. The Dingbei Hou Mansion was still in grief. A few days later, the bones of Ming concubine were buried.

But on the second day of Ming concubine's burial, a major incident happened unexpectedly on the Yizheng Hall.

King Zhennan, who had never been involved in the establishment of a crown prince, took the initiative to ask the emperor to appoint a prince, and asked the eldest prince to be the prince.

It happened so suddenly that all civil and military officials were dumbfounded.

One must know that the First Prince is still a hostage in North Vietnam, many ministers have already forgotten what the First Prince looks like, and even some ministers who have been sent abroad to Beijing do not even know whether the First Prince is tall, short, fat or thin.

The King of Zhennan asked the Eldest Prince to be made the crown prince, Marquis Dingbei and Old Master Su seconded the proposal, Prince Jing grew up, and then Prince Mu...

Gradually, half of the courtiers agreed with the emperor to make the eldest prince the crown prince.

Cheng Guogong and Jin Wang firmly opposed it.

The King of Zhennan looked at the King of Jin and said, "What objection does the King of Jin have? The first prince was born by the first queen, and his name was recorded under the queen's knee. He is the eldest son of the emperor. When the emperor was in a dilemma, it was the eldest prince who took the initiative to share his worries and went to North Vietnam for the sake of the country. May I ask the emperor who has so many princes under his knees, which one is more suitable to be the prince than the eldest prince?!"

In fact, there are some things that even the emperor does not know.

Back then the eldest prince took the initiative to go to North Vietnam, it was the prince who asked the eldest prince to do so.

Concubine Sun Guifei and the fourth prince aim to be the crown prince, the eldest prince is the eldest son, and the empress has nothing to do, so she pins all her hopes on the eldest prince.

The eldest prince is one year older than the fourth prince. If he does nothing, he will give the courtiers a reason to support the fourth prince. If he shows his sharpness, he will force the fourth prince and Concubine Sun Gui to get rid of him.

In this fledgling situation where doing anything is wrong, it is wise to avoid the battle.

If you simply went to North Vietnam as a hostage, it would never be a good thing to go there, but exchanging hostages is different. The First Prince and the North Vietnam Prince Rong protect each other, separated by thousands of miles, you protect me, and I protect you.

When he arrived in Beiyue, even if the eldest prince was alone, Beiyue had to protect him well.

Avoiding disputes, just to calm down and learn how to behave and govern the country. As the eldest son of his, he is in North Vietnam for a day, the emperor will not be able to appoint other princes as princes. It is not Concubine Sun who sent false news that the eldest prince is in North Vietnam. , the emperor believed it.

If the emperor wants to be a wise emperor, he will not fall into the shoes of others about the establishment of the crown prince.

It's not that the prince doesn't participate in the establishment of the crown prince, but it's just that there is no time for him to participate.

The Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a large army, and no minister with power can stand by and stand by against the Chu, because no matter what, he will not be spared, even if the prince does not want to get involved, the emperor will ask him.

The prince is about to leave for the border, and he doesn't know how long it will take to come back. After the eldest prince came back, with the cruelty of Concubine Sun Guifei and King Heng, even Ming concubine, who is highly skilled in medicine, almost died twice, let alone the eldest prince.

It's about the country, the country, the prince can't afford to gamble, the emperor has so many sons, except for the eldest prince, no one can compare with King Heng.

The prince must make a final decision on the matter of the crown prince before going out to fight, and severely break the ribs of Prince Heng and Concubine Sun Gui.

The prince was recommended by him, the emperor will definitely protect the prince, and the ministers in the court are the most adaptable. Once the prince is settled, as long as he wins a little, those who were originally facing the fourth prince will fall to the eldest prince, and the queen will also He will gain a firm foothold in the harem and severely set Concubine Sun Gui's spirit.

The emperor knew that Ming concubine died in Heng Wang's mansion, and Heng Wang and the crown prince were no longer destined, but the first prince had not returned to Beijing, so it was too hasty to make him the crown prince.

The emperor looked at the prince for a long time, and suppressed the matter of Li Chu. Of course, this was what the prince expected.

Establishing a prince is not a trivial matter, the emperor cannot appoint a prince so casually.

After coming down to court, the emperor called Zhennan King to the imperial study and asked him, "The eldest prince is still in Beiyue. You want me to make him the crown prince at this time. Can he return to Beijing alive?"

The prince looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, ask yourself, even if you don't recommend the eldest prince, will the eldest prince be able to return to Beijing alive? A prince who has made great contributions to the country and still occupies the status of the eldest son is doomed to escape death."

The emperor was dumbfounded, he couldn't refute what the prince said.

The prince continued, "Today is the seventh day since Prince Rong of North Vietnam left Beijing. The moment I decided to recommend the emperor to make the eldest prince the crown prince, I already sent someone to meet the eldest prince."

"Announcing the fact that the Eldest Prince was established as the crown prince to the world adds a bit more obstacles to the Eldest Prince's way back to Beijing, but also adds a bit of protection."

The emperor looked at the prince, "Aren't you angry because of the death of the concubine?"

The prince looked at the emperor and said, "The minister and the emperor are telling the truth, the concubine is missing, and her life and death are unknown."

The emperor frowned, "Missing? How could it be missing? Who is it that burned itself in Prince Heng's mansion?"

The prince shook his head, "It's inconvenient for me to go to Prince Heng's mansion to find out who that corpse is, but it is definitely not the concubine's. According to Chen'er's guess, someone should be in the hunting grounds and took advantage of the concubine when he was unconscious."

Speaking of this, the prince sneered, "At this moment, I am a little grateful to the person who dropped the bag, who added disaster to my concubine and helped her avoid it. I think no matter how miserable Ming concubine's experience is, it is impossible for her to be more humiliated than her." Self-immolation is even worse."

The emperor is a little confused, how can a charred corpse be judged to be fake?
The prince truthfully said, "It is true that Chen'er and Princess Shizi did not consummate their marriage before hunting, but Chen'er told me that they consummated their marriage after they lived and died together in the hunting ground. Princess Heng insisted that Ming concubine had no affection for Chen'er. She even produced evidence that the woman Wen, who delivered the baby for Princess Heng, saw tattoos on the body of the fake concubine, Chen'er became suspicious, and took Wu Zuo to the Dingbei Hou Mansion for an autopsy to confirm that the body was fake."

"Even if there is nothing wrong with Ming concubine, does the emperor think that King Heng's virtue can bear the heavy responsibility of the crown prince?"
