Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the second day, the emperor did not go to the morning court, but issued an imperial edict, announcing that all civil and military officials, as well as the clan, would enter the court, and let everyone gather in the Baohe Hall.

    King Chun was also among them.  Upon hearing this, he summoned the civil and military ministers and clan, thinking about the emperor's actions in the recent period.  King Chun knew what was going on, fearing that the emperor would decide on the position of crown prince.  Although King Zheng was not established as the crown prince, he had already handled government affairs on behalf of the emperor.  The emperor should also give him a formal title, so that he can legitimately supervise the country.

    The ministers who made the call also knew what was going on.  Because the imperial court would only conduct important matters in the Baohe Hall when enthroning the throne, establishing the crown prince, and conferring a title of queen.

    King Zheng also vaguely guessed it.  During this period, he handled important government affairs on behalf of his father, and his father also pointed out any shortcomings.  When a successor is being groomed, everyone in the government and the public knows about it.  It was only a matter of time before he was made the prince.  Moreover, he also knew that the emperor's health was getting worse and worse.  Although there is no prepared information.  But you can tell just from the emperor's face.  Although I have had it for more than a month, it looks much better.  However, I contracted a small cold just after I came back, and I still haven¡¯t recovered from it.

    At this time, King Zheng was more than expecting the emperor to rectify his name, so he immediately named him the prince (after rectifying his name, he is the only legitimate son, and it is only natural to change his name when he ascends the throne). He hoped that the emperor could personally say that he was the biological son of Empress Su.  .  This change of name is justifiable and can also comfort the queen mother's spirit in heaven.

    At the same time, he also wanted to know if his mother had left anything for him.  If he stayed, he would really like to get what his mother left for him.

    "The emperor has arrived." The emperor entered the Baohe Hall and looked at the dense darkness below.  Many of them were ministers in their fifties or sixties, and they all looked very poor.  Looking at them, the emperor looked at the strong King Zheng again.  Suddenly I felt that I was really old.  When you are old, you should indeed accept your old age.  Mortals, how can they really live a long life?  When I get old, I retire and live a life of growing flowers and raising birds.  It might also be a good day for fishing.

    "Be flat." The eunuch's sharp voice echoed in the sky above Baohe Hall.  It stung Wen Wan's ears, which were waiting on the inside.

    The emperor didn¡¯t say much and just gave a few greetings as usual.  A big wave of his hand.  Wen Bao hurriedly took out an imperial edict from the box that the emperor had just given to him and took a look.  He was stunned for three seconds.  Then he calmed down and said, "By God's blessing, the emperor summoned me and said: The eighth prince Hongzhang has good moral character, noble birth, and both literary and intellectual talents. He has won my heart and is now specially canonized as the crown prince of Daqi"

    "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor" Although many people below have already made this preparation.  But facing this sudden imperial edict, some of the people below were still stunned.  After ten seconds of silence, he was awakened by the shouts of the quick-reacting people next to him, and they all immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

    "Your Majesty. Please clarify that the Eighth Prince has a noble birth. Why was he born so noble? Your Majesty, we can also make a record." Mr. Song, the Minister of Rites, said bravely.  He didn't want to take the risk, but it was his responsibility.  He had to figure it out so he could record it.  Of course, he also wanted to sell King Zheng a favor.  After all, the emperor has not personally confirmed the identity of Prince Zheng.  The ascension of the legitimate son to the throne was more in line with Confucian orthodoxy, and also brought the return of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

    The emperor was not angry at the words of the Minister of Rites. He was also prepared to speak out about this matter.  Since we have to pave a road, we should pave the best road, so he said loudly, "The eighth prince's biological mother is Empress Shengyuan, who I will share the same bed with in the coffin a hundred years later. The eighth prince is my only legitimate son.".

    King Zheng was extremely excited after hearing this. He confirmed that his father personally confirmed that his biological mother was Queen Shengyuan.  Eight years later, the moment he met Wen Wan, he knew that he was the son of Queen Shengyuan.  But even if two identical faces fully explain everything, there is no evidence, no evidence, everything is false.  Unexpectedly, my father would confirm his identity in front of the courtiers.  The joy is beyond words.

    The emperor looked at the courtiers, "The box that Queen Shengyuan left for Wen Wan has always been in my hand. Inside the box are two letters written by Queen Shengyuan, one for me and one for Lao Ba. The letter confirmed that Lao Ba  He is indeed her biological son. His identity was changed only for some reasons, so you don¡¯t need to doubt it.¡±

    Even if the ministers present had ten heads, they would not dare to doubt the emperor's words.  This is not only a question of doubting the emperor's words, but also a matter of offending the future emperor.  No one is this stupid.  Even King Heng who was present did not say a word.  Now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing more to say.

    When King Zheng heard the emperor¡¯s words, there was hope in his eyes and a strong sourness in his heart.  Unexpectedly, his mother really left something in the world, really left something for him.  There is something in my eyes that I can't help but fall out.

    King Zheng pushed back the tears in his eyes, raised his head, and looked at the emperor expectantly.  He was thinking that his father should give him the letter that his mother left for him!

    "To pass on my will, Si Tianjian will choose an auspicious day to enter."??The ceremony of canonizing the prince.  " He glanced at the ministers below and added the last sentence.

    "Retreat from the court." Following the sharp voice of the eunuch, the emperor left the Wende Hall.  In fact, the emperor is in a very bad mood now.

    "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor." As the emperor finished speaking, all the ministers below also lost their minds.  Those who had followed Prince Zheng long ago had made up their minds, and those who had not taken sides were now determined by the Crown Prince. They no longer had to worry about being forced to make plans and take sides.  Only a group of people in the main hall who had taken refuge with King Zhao felt regretful in their hearts.  But in this situation, there is no use regretting.  Thinking about the best way to remedy it.

    After going to court, all the officials congratulated King Zheng one after another. King Zheng looked calm. Although he could see that he was a little happy, he could control it.

    "Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered you to go to the Yanghe Hall." The eunuch was full of respect.  This, the future emperor, the future owner of this palace, naturally had to come with respect.

    "I haven't held the canonization ceremony yet, so you can't call me random names. If I do it again, I'll be beaten to death with a stick." Although the name is determined, the last step has not been completed, so it is better to keep a low profile.

    "Father." Prince Zheng immediately entered the Yanghe Hall and stood respectfully in front of the emperor.  Although the emperor has not liked him since he was a child, it should be said that he hates him.  However, the emperor is the person he respects and admires the most.

    Over the years, although he had resented the emperor in his heart, resented his partiality and resented his ignorance.  But at this moment, looking at his father's white hair, no matter how much resentment he had, he turned into sourness.  Facing the emperor at this time, he was still a little uneasy.  Because he was about to get the explanation he had been wanting for the past eight years.  His biological mother, why did she send him to that woman?  Why did his mother, whom he never got to see, cruelly abandon their two young children?

    "Sit down." The emperor was very calm. It could also be said that he was a little lonely.  After holding power for more than 40 years, it is inevitable to give it to the son in front of you.

    "Presumably, you have been doubting your life experience since you confirmed Wen Wan's identity. It's just because you don't have a chance!" The emperor is very peaceful, and everything in the world is under his control.  King Zheng did not hesitate and nodded directly.

    "You are so kind to Wen Wan. I guess half of it is sincerity and half of it is intention. When people think of Wen Wan, they think of your life experience. When I heard that your uncle and nephew look exactly the same, I thought  I doubted your life experience. I didn't expect that after checking, something went wrong. It's hard for your mother. She made such a sacrifice for the sake of Daqi Jiangshan and for me, and she also used this method.  I feel sorry for your mother and you and Fu Hui." The emperor looked sad.

    "Father, mother, why do you do this? I want to know why." King Zheng did not hide his anxiety.  In the past few years, I have been struggling with this issue.  He knew there was a reason, but he wanted to know what it was.

    "You don't need to know the reason. This is the letter your mother left for you. I think your mother also hopes that one day you will know the truth and let you know that you are her son! Otherwise, she would not keep this letter.  "There was a slight movement in the emperor's eyes. If it weren't for this, there would be no need for her to do such a thing.  After all, she still can't let go of her two children, especially this son. The junior sister should still feel deep guilt in her heart.

    King Zheng received the letter and looked at it written in beautiful plum blossom calligraphy. My son Hongzhang signed it personally.  As soon as he saw these six words, King Zheng didn't know what to feel.  I was about to open the envelope and read it carefully.  He was kicked out of the Yanghe Hall by the emperor who was in a bad mood.

    King Zheng usually rode a horse, but this time, for the first time, he took a carriage back to his home.  As soon as he got on the carriage, he immediately opened the letter that had been opened long ago and spread it out.  As soon as it is unfolded, what comes into view is still the beautiful plum blossom font.

    In the letter, Queen Su said that Prince Zheng was her son, who was born in ten months of pregnancy.  Because of the unavoidable reasons, we can only use this decisive method.  Although this will make him suffer a lot of injustice and suffer a lot, but only in this way can he not block the way of others and live peacefully in this dark palace.  As long as he could live well, she would be satisfied.  She hoped that King Zheng could forgive her for her original cruelty and said that it would be fine as long as he could live, and also asked King Zheng not to blame her.  In the end, the words made it clear that they couldn't let go of Fu Hui and him, showing a deep sense of reluctance.  I don¡¯t know how Concubine Su felt when she wrote this letter.

    From beginning to end, the letter did not say what exactly caused her to make such a sacrifice.  What kind of thing happened that made my father know the truth, but he didn't pursue it.  Instead, he made the decision to share the coffin with his mother a hundred years later.  Naturally, the problem must be with Qi Wanxia.  As for the reason, King Zheng did not dare to ask, because he knew thatEven if he asked the emperor, the emperor would not tell him.  (To be continued)
