Concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion: Abandoned concubine is not easy to mess with

Chapter 214

In the Qiankun Palace, the queen sits on the phoenix seat next to the dragon chair, dressed in a bright yellow dress, which is dignified and dignified, majestic and glamorous.After Yungan's treatment, the queen's health has improved a lot. During this period, because the battle for the throne has intensified, some neutral ministers in the court proposed that the queen be in charge of the government, and the crown prince and Nangong Bo jointly assist the government, so you can see The queen was not surprised.

When the ministers were almost there, the prince and Nangong Bocai came side by side. One prince was warm and noble in python robes, and the other was majestic and domineering in regular clothes.

After the two came in, they first knelt down and bowed to the empress above, "I will see my mother!"

"Get up!" After months of hard work, the queen has really aged ten years, but for the sake of her son, she must persevere.

After the crown prince and Nangong Bo got up, they separated from each other, their eyes just met each other, and the tit-for-tat confrontation in their eyes made everyone present know it well.

"The patriarch is here!" The palace man shouted, and saw an old man in a black brocade robe walking in slowly. The majesty and sophistication of the royal patriarch.

The patriarch walked to the front, and after bowing his hands to the queen, he turned around and looked at the people present, "The emperor passed away suddenly, and he didn't have time to leave the imperial edict. The crown prince is also the eldest son of the empress of the main palace, and his name is justified. The second prince, Nangong Bo, has outstanding talents, is deeply supported and supported by the courtiers, and has a pure nature, so he is also a suitable candidate for the throne."

When the queen approached the patriarch and asked him to find a way to resolve the contradiction in the struggle for the throne, he also felt very embarrassed.As the patriarch of the Nangong family, he does not need to stand in line at all. No matter who becomes the emperor, his position as the patriarch will not change, and no one can shake his glory and wealth. Bo no matter who wins, the one who loses will hate him, and even suspect that he has done something wrong, so he doesn't want to come to this troubled water at all.

"The two princes are both the emperor's sons, and they both have the outstanding ability to govern the world. It is really difficult to tell who is superior. However, a country cannot live without a king. Now, Beijiao is provoking troubles at the border, which is very important. The meaning of taking advantage of the opportunity to seize the land of Nanming, if it continues to be delayed like this, brothers will fight, no matter who is injured, the one who will be damaged in the end will be the foundation of Nanming. The emperor passed away for more than three months, and the battle for the throne has been delayed It cannot be determined, the dynasties are in turmoil, the country is unstable, it is really a difficulty for Nan Ming and the people, therefore, as the head of the clan, I rely on the old and sell the old, I implore the two princes to give priority to the country and the people, and take a step back." The old patriarch said that he was heartbroken, and even burst into tears. It was indeed an expression of concern for the country and the people.

The crown prince and Nangong Bo didn't listen to the words of the old patriarch at all. How can the dispute between the country and the mountains be backed down? The two have reached this point. No matter who wins, the one who loses will definitely be decapitated in the end. You are fighting for the throne, but you are fighting for the lives of yourself and your family.

"This old man has an unsealed imperial decree. It says that the last successor shall not harm the other, and canonize the other as eternal king, hereditary succession!" The patriarch took out a bright yellow decree. The imperial decree was held above the head to show to everyone present, "Now, the two princes are invited to come over and press their fingerprints on this imperial decree!"

Neither the crown prince nor Nangong Bo moved. Neither of them was willing to write down this letter of guarantee, and neither was willing to hand over their own life and that of their family members to God's will.

Seeing that the two were unwilling, the patriarch looked embarrassed for a moment, and then stared at the two angrily, "Why, the two princes are not willing?"

The prince and Nangong Bo did not speak, but someone stood up.No, Shen Jie on the prince's side stepped forward, "Patriarch, your proposal itself has problems."

"What do you mean?" The old patriarch also knew that Shen Jie had a high prestige among literati, and his eloquence was also very good, he could say black into white, and death into life.Shen Jie is the prince's confidant, and Shen Jie's attitude represents the prince's attitude.

Shen Jie stood up righteously, bowed to the old patriarch, and then spoke, "Old patriarch, you are the patriarch of the Nangong family, and you are in charge of all matters in the Nangong family. The dispute is related to the people of the world, not just your clan."

"Not bad! Not bad!" Not only those who supported the prince, but also those who supported Nangong Bo began to echo.

The old patriarch's face darkened in an instant, and he came up with this idea for the sake of the common people in the world, but now it seems that he doesn't accept it at all.

Seeing that everyone supported him, Shen Jie continued: "His Royal Highness the crown prince was conferred by the emperor nine years ago, and he has been personally raising him according to the requirements of the crown prince for the past nine years. When the emperor was seriously ill, the emperor personally issued an order to let the prince Supervising the country, the second prince is assisting the government, which shows that the emperor always wants the prince to be the heir to the throne in his heart."

"My lord Shen, you also said that the emperor let the second prince assist the government at that time. It can be seen that the emperor is also very satisfied with the second prince, which also shows that the emperor is not at ease with the prince." Liu Yu stood up, with a little smile on his handsome face. Sarcasm, of course he knew what Shen Jie was thinking, but now the prince is alone and weak, on the contrary, the second prince holds 50 Zhennan army and [-] city guard army, it can be said that he has the chance to win, they are not worried at all.

"Lord Liu's words are wrong!" Shen Jie smiled contemptuously, "What is the crown prince and what is the crown prince? It means that he has been determined to be the heir to the throne. According to the law, if the emperor dies, if there is a will, the succession will be determined according to the will Or, if there is no legacy, the crown prince is the first heir, and he is the unquestionable successor! All the ministers of the Humerus of Nanming who are familiar with the law, I believe there is no one who does not know this rule, right?"

Regarding this issue, everyone has discussed it many times in the past month, so there is basically nothing to say about Shen Jie's words.

"Having said that, since ancient times, since ancient times, the crown prince has been selected to select the virtuous and capable. The prince is cowardly by nature. Wen cannot stabilize the country, and martial arts cannot fight the enemy. If it is not because of his status as the eldest son, the emperor would not have named him the prince at all. On the contrary, the two The prince has outstanding talent, both civil and military skills, and is deeply loved by the ministers and the people. Only such a person can lead Nanming to create a stable and peaceful world." Among the four sons of the capital, Liu Yu was second only to Shen Jie, and his eloquence and strategy were all first-class, and his words convinced everyone present.

Shen Jie seemed to have heard some funny joke, and even the deepest part of his eyes was filled with a deep smile, "A ruler is a person who controls life and death and seizes power. He is an enemy. The prince is pure and kind. He respects his parents at the top, loves his brothers at the middle, and cares for the common people at the bottom. He has strict self-discipline. My lord was the number one scholar in civil and military affairs back then, you should be more suitable to be emperor than the second prince!"

Liu Yu was not angry at Shen Jie's words, but sneered coldly, "Honor your parents? The second prince went to Zhengyang Palace to serve tea soup every day when the emperor was seriously ill. After the emperor passed away, he even claimed to keep his filial piety for three years. The concubine and concubine of the family also made the same request. Because of this, no concubine in the mansion has been pregnant. On the contrary, the prince went to sleep with the bride at the wedding banquet of the son of Ding Wangfu when the emperor was seriously ill. Later, he couldn't wait. After the emperor died, he still played and sang every night, and now the princess is almost four months pregnant!"

As soon as Liu Yu's words came out, the ministers began to discuss one after another. Yes, according to the rules, after the death of their parents, children must observe filial piety for three years. It really can't be considered filial piety.

Shen Jie's black eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect Liu Yu to directly attack personally, Nangong Bo couldn't let his woman get pregnant, it was because he was drugged, it was impossible to have children, but at this time it became the best evidence .

"Lord Shen, I believe everyone present knows that when the sixth prince forced the palace to rebel, it was the prince who killed the sixth prince himself! According to the law, if the prince rebels, he should also be tried by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I couldn't bear to kill the sixth prince, is this what you call the friendly brother?" Liu Yu stared coldly at Shen Jie opposite, for some reason, he always felt that Shen Jie's reaction today was not at his usual level, what did he say? If you respect your parents and respect your brothers and sisters, isn't this deliberately taking advantage of the prince's shortcomings to attack yourself?

However, he doesn't want to bother with so much now, as long as he can suppress the prince, he doesn't mind who is behind the scenes, "As for caring for the people, the plague broke out in Lingnan five years ago. Instead of the emperor inspecting and condolences to the people, what was the prince doing at that time? Three years ago, when the Styx River flooded, it was the second prince who personally led the troops to control the flood. I was sick for three months because of this! What was the prince doing at that time?"

Liu Yu's words were so loud that everyone present started to commotion.However, those who supported the prince always supported the prince, while those who supported Nangong Bo began to attack the prince with these things.

"Yes, the second prince is the most suitable person to inherit the throne!"

"That's right, the crown prince even killed his own brothers, such a person cannot be king!"

The prince turned livid with anger at Liu Yu's words.The reason why Nangongyuan died in his own hands was because someone pushed him from behind at that time, and the sword in his hand pierced Nangongyuan's heart. As for Yunluo's matter, it was also deliberately designed by Wenfei.

The prince looked anxiously at Shen Jie, but Shen Jie shook his head at him, reassuring him.

"Lord Liu, since you have reached this point, the prince can't be wronged by others, can he?" Shen Jie gave Liu Yu a meaningful smile, which made Liu Yu tremble with fear, "Nangong Yuan forced Gong Sifu, such a The crown prince killed him in anger because of the animal behavior, which was to eliminate harm for the people. Even so, the crown prince did not blame Nangong Yuan's family for this. Now Concubine Su Gui is only sent to the Taimiao to guard the emperor's spirit. The Su family and all Those who participated in the treason were just sent to the frontier."
