Concubine's true colors

Chapter 775 Xiangping died
Zhou Xianchen was only in a coma, not dead.

Under such circumstances, apart from King Yongchang, no one else dared to say such a thing when proposing to appoint a new king.

But it's no wonder, after all, regardless of the monarchs and ministers, King Yongchang is the elder brother of Emperor Ming, whether it is Zhou Xianrui who has died, Zhou Xianchen who is unconscious, or Zhou Xianyu who was elected emperor by the other party.

In the final analysis, they are all the nephews of King Yongchang. As a model of the royal family, it is indeed perfect for him to propose a new king.

In fact, even if King Yongchang didn't say anything, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who were present would know it well.

Zhou Yi is not of royal blood. Now that the matter has been exposed, the person who can inherit the great line belongs to Zhou Xianyu.

After all, the two brothers Zhou Xianrui and Zhou Xianchen have no heirs, and they also inherit the throne between brothers.

Also being the seventh son of Emperor Ming, Zhou Xianyu, who was also in the political party of the court and had a deep influence, deserved his name to be enthroned, and his son inherited his father's position.

Therefore, King Yongchang had just finished his proposal, and none of the civil and military ministers had any objections, and all of them bowed to the ground.

But in the face of the throne that was so easily available and countless people fought for it, Zhou Xianyu calmly accepted the worship of everyone, but did not show any excitement on his face.

Instead, he came to Xiao Jinxuan's side in a few steps, looked at all the civil and military officials, and all the relatives of the emperor, and said persistently:
"Now the emperor is seriously injured, and no one knows whether he can wake up in this life. Therefore, under such circumstances, this king should take on a heavy responsibility. But if you don't promise me one thing, then anyone can take over the imperial power, but as long as you don't want to die, you can't do it." Don't get involved with this king anymore."

What Zhou Xianyu said was indeed very arrogant, as if the status of the king of a country was nothing in his eyes.

But this will be full of civil and military affairs, and no one dares to express dissatisfaction about it. After all, among the many princes of Emperor Ming, Zhou Xianyu is now the most imperial demeanor.

Moreover, he holds great power in his hands, and now he is married to Bei Rong after his death. With this level of deterrence, no one will dare to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor even if the other vassal kings are sent to him.

Moreover, if an unconvincing vassal king is found to ascend the throne, the rest of the fief princes will inevitably be ready to move, and it will be difficult to suppress, and the Great Zhou will be precarious and plunged into turmoil in an instant.

Therefore, not long ago, all civil and military officials who had looked at Zhou Xianyu coldly and suspected that he had a heart of treason.

This will keep asking the other party what the conditions are, and the eager look seems to be afraid that the other party will leave the dragon position and run away.

And Zhou Xianyu has already held Xiao Jinxuan's hand tightly, and then raised his voice and said:

"If I ascend the throne, Jinxuan will be the empress. I know that she was once a disused concubine, but she is the king's official concubine. If you can't accept Xuan'er as the mother of my Great Zhou Dynasty, then I, Zhou Xianyu, will step down as regent." The identity of the king. Take her away from the imperial capital and never come back. As for who you will appoint as the new king at that time, it has nothing to do with me."

Her hands were clenched and raised, looking at the man beside her, even in front of the emperor, she never forgot her.

And still put her first in everything, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes were wet, and she was deeply moved.

After Zhou Xianyu finished speaking, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the relatives of the emperor, only thought of this crucial issue.

That is Xiao Jinxuan, the emperor and abolished concubine. If one person marries two kings and becomes the mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then I am afraid that this matter will inevitably spread to other countries and will be ridiculed.

But if they refused, Zhou Xianyu would be disarmed and returned to the fields, and there would be no choice for the new emperor.

At that time, foreign enemies will take the opportunity to make trouble, without this prince who is capable of conquering and fighting, who will protect the country and society of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, in an instant, the ministers' voices of remonstrance resounded, but no matter what they said, no one could shake Zhou Xianyu's determination to make Jinxuan queen.

And Guo Yi knew that Xiao Jinxuan was only pretending to marry Zhou Xianrui back then, it was a stopgap measure.

I thought that this proposal was all his admonishment at the beginning. Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan is now trapped by the title of abolished concubine, in order to make up for this mistake back then, he naturally stood by the other side, and immediately threatened to shout:

"My lords, my colleagues, please be quiet and listen to what I, Guo Yi, say. The so-called abandoned concubine Xiao Shi, you discuss for a long time, why I, Guo Yi, did not see this person at all. What I saw, It’s just Princess Changde of Beirong in front of her. The reason why Her Royal Highness said that she was an abandoned concubine in the past was just to intimidate Princess Xiangping and tell her not to call herself out of panic. Therefore, Princess Changde and Xiao Jinxuan are not the same at all. Personally, my lords should not continue to commit the misunderstanding here. After all, you have to know how to choose and lose in everything. Compared with the stability of the country and the country, I believe that your lords should know the reason to retreat properly."

This is an official in the court, which one is not an old fox who has been struggling for many years.

They would try their best to prevent Xiao Jinxuan from becoming the empress before, just because the other party was Zhou Xianrui's concubine, if she became Zhou Xianyu's empress now, Da Zhou would lose face.

But when Guo Yi separated the identities of Changde and Xiao Jinxuan, then this trouble was easily solved.

In fact, all the officials care about is whether there is a plausible statement to stop the mouths of the people in the world.

Now Zhou Xianyu's attitude is very clear, and he will definitely not regress.

And Guo Yi's just-right point made everyone understand what to do next.

Then I saw all the civil and military officials, and after looking at each other, this group of old foxes who had been in the officialdom, led by Guo Yi, bowed down to the ground again as if they had made an agreement, and shouted in unison:
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. The empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

In the eyes of everyone at this moment, Xiao Jinxuan was not there, and there was only Princess Changde of Beirong.

Under the tacit understanding of the monarch and his ministers, Zhou Xianyu has always acted vigorously and resolutely after granting the Phoenix position to Xiao Jinxuan as he wished, so he didn't procrastinate for hypocrisy.

Holding Xiao Jinxuan's hand, the two looked at each other, then walked side by side to the high platform of the enthronement ceremony with a steady demeanor.

Walking up the stairs step by step, Zhou Xianyu stared straight ahead, but suddenly said softly:

"Jinxuan has gone through so much, I never thought that one day, I would be the one who is the Ninth Five-Year Lord. I promised you before that I would remove my status as a prince and leave Dazhou to take you to carefree, If I travel to the motherland, I really broke my promise. Although the throne is not what I care most about, but I am a descendant of the Zhou family, and I can only carry it on my shoulders at this time. I just want to know, will you Blame me."

Xiao Jinxuan, who walked dignifiedly and followed Zhou Xianyu to the high platform, showed a gentle smile as always after hearing this.

"If there is no Xianyu by your side, even if the world allows me to come and go freely, it will be difficult for me to show a smile in this life. As long as there is a place with you, whether it is the palace or purgatory, it is a blessing for me to be with you .”

Just as Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan were connected with each other and chatting in shallow voices, they also stood on the high platform of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors.

It was only when the two of them burned the incense together and were about to kowtow and bow down.

But he didn't want to make everyone think that Xiangping, who was also stimulated to go crazy after killing Ji Lingfeng, rushed up to the high platform like crazy because everyone knelt down to worship the new emperor.

And holding the hairpin that killed Ji Lingfeng in his hand, which was already a little bent and deformed, Xiangping ran to the high platform, staring at Xiao Jinxuan tightly with his eyes.

Because after killing Ji Lingfeng, Xiangping still couldn't let go of her obsession and wanted to kill Xiao Jinxuan as well, so she rushed up to the high platform and stabbed it directly with the hairpin in her hand.

But with Zhou Xianyu around, how could Xiangping hurt Xiao Jinxuan at all, not only the hairpin was knocked down on the steps, Xiangping was also stopped.

Looking at Xiangping with red eyes and a ferocious face, Xiao Jinxuan knew that the other party would not repent, and it was unintentional to say more.

But between Xiangping and Xiangping, the grievances and grievances of the two generations are mixed together, thinking of the two people getting acquainted with Guanyinyuan, and the intimacy after that.

Xiao Jinxuan felt hatred in her heart, but she couldn't help being bitter, so she handed the white jade button that fell from the hand of Empress Chen from the purse at her waist to Xiangping.

"If you still have the last bit of shame, don't continue to make trouble. Although your death, Xiangping, is a certainty, but I, Xiao Jinxuan, can guarantee that before sending you on the road, I will not let anyone torture you in consideration of the past love. Not the slightest bit. But if you keep pestering me, I will order someone to kill you immediately, and this will be regarded as a sacrifice to the heavens, and to comfort those who were killed by you."

Looking at the button of the white jade coat handed to him, Xiangping knew that he was going to die anyway, he was completely insane, Xiangping was not afraid of anything anymore.

Not only did she throw the jade buckle down the high platform viciously, smashing it to pieces, she even laughed out loud and shouted like crazy:
"Where is the retribution you mentioned, Xiao Jinxuan? Why didn't this princess see it? Brother emperor, so what if I killed the mother and queen mother, they are already dead, how can they turn into ghosts and come to me to ask for their lives? I have been in Xiangping for so many years Come and kill countless people, why don't you still live well. I know I can't survive, but before that, I have to kill you first, otherwise I won't die in peace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiangping ignored Zhou Xianyu's obstruction, and stretched out his hand vigorously, as if he was going to strangle Xiao Jinxuan to death.

But at this moment, Xiangping suddenly just blinked her eyes, and suddenly she found that her outstretched hands actually pinched a cold neck.

When she looked intently, there was no sign of Zhou Xianyu standing in front of her.

On the contrary, it was the late Empress Chen, who was emitting green smoke all over her body, and was staring at her viciously.

"Unfilial daughter, you killed my biological mother, do you still want to strangle me to death again? Then you are going to do it, come and strangle me, Xiangping, why don't you do it!"

Looking at the staring eyes of Empress Dowager Chen, and loudly urging to question her, Xiangping screamed and quickly let go of the hand that was holding the other party's neck.

Xiangping, who didn't dare to look at Empress Dowager Chen, subconsciously turned his head to the other side, but he didn't want Zhou Xianrui to bleed from seven holes, and stared at her with a positive expression.

"Xiangping, the emperor asked himself not to be kind to you. Why did you poison me? You even dared to burn the edict that I passed on to the emperor. Now you are here to destroy the seventh brother's enthronement. As a brother, you want to kill me." If you take it away, you won't be telling you to harm Jinxuan and Xianyu."

Xiangping was already terrified by the ghost of Zhou Xianrui he saw, and the next time he saw the other party stretching out his hand, he grabbed her.

Immediately, Xiangping, who was frightened out of his wits, screamed loudly, and quickly backed away instinctively.

But it didn't matter if she retreated, she was standing on the edge of the high platform, and her feet fell into the air in an instant, and her whole body rolled and fell down the stairs quickly.

Everyone who watched this scene was very stunned, because everyone only saw Xiangping screaming and dancing, and then fell off the high platform inexplicably.

When her figure finally came to a stop under the high platform, only the surrounding audience saw this Princess Xiangping who had been so beautiful for a while.

Unexpectedly, she was stabbing Xiao Jinxuan in the throat, and was pierced by Zhou Xianyu's hairpin that fell on the stairs.

And her face was also punctured and disfigured by those white jade button shards that had just been smashed with her own hands.

Coupled with her terrified staring eyes, Xiangping, who had already died of anger, was really ferocious and terrifying.
