Chapter 540

Chen Guo Grand Princess although because of Shen Tu Guifei’s favor, has not been loved by Emperor Huizong, but in the end is the daughter of Huizong’s direct relative.

A golden branch, not a normal person?

She was so furious that she took her own life after the emperor’s soninlaw dropped the ball on her. Her husband’s family is in a panic!

Under the fear, after a short deliberation, they thought that the Grand Princess of Chen was dead, and people can’t come back from the dead, even if they went to the palace to ask for pardon from the Dowager Empress Dowager, it was expected that they wouldn’t be pardoned, so it would be better to defect to Shentu Noble Consort instead!

And Shentu Noble Consort is also very happy to use this matter under the face of the Empress Dowager, teach the former dynasty and the harem to know her power, and create momentum for her son to seize the crown.

So the emperor’s daughter Shaohua hate self. The emperor’s daughter, Shaohua, had a hateful death, but the matter was not settled later, Emperor Xianjia ascended to the throne, naturally, could not let go of the family who treated their own mother’s sister.

The husband’s family of the Grand Princess of Chen was razed to three clans, and her husband and inlaws were even sentenced to be cut off at the waist.

This kind of punishment is a cut in two look dry, in fact, people were cut in two after the temporary is not dead, will be on the ground for a long time to struggle before breathing, the pain of this period of time can be imagined!

However, this still could not eliminate the resentment of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xianjia, the Empress Dowager also issued a decree to the world, so that the Chen Guo Grand Princess and the side of the horse harnessed by the side of the emperor’s side, because she thought that the Chen Guo Grand Princess’s husband’s family, do not deserve to have their own daughters as a child wife, even if it is nominal.

That is to say, the Grand Princess of the Kingdom of Chen is now nominally without a husband or children.

Even her zi coffin was unearthed by the Dowager Empress and Emperor Xianjia from the graveyard of her husband’s family and reburied on the bank of the imperial tomb that Emperor Xianjia had prepared for himself.

At that time, Emperor Xianjia once said that he had not been able to protect this sister when she was alive, so he would never let her suffer again after her death. Therefore, he wanted the Grand Princess of the Kingdom of Chen to be buried by his side, so that once he was great, his soul could be next to the Grand Princess of the Kingdom of Chen and protect this sister properly.

At that time, Emperor Xianjia only had one child in his lap, Emperor Duanhua, and the two Jin and Dai kingdoms did not have any extra heirs to pass on to the Grand Princess of the Kingdom of Chen, and even King Suhui and King Xiangjing, who had passed away prematurely, had not been mentioned in the matter of heirs, and the same was true of the Grand Princess of the Kingdom of Chen.

Now the Empress Dowager suddenly proposed to give this daughter to get an heir, but also decided the king of Shu, who can see that this is afraid of the current situation to drag the king of Shu into the water, sparing the grandson’s identity of the emperor canceled out, but also to preserve him!

Although it was said that the decree had already been issued, what made people who didn’t want this to be accomplished the most helpless was that this matter was still brought up by Imperial Concubine Xu!

“I am honored that the late Emperor did not abandon me for my humble qualifications, and that he allowed me to serve the Emperor for more than ten years is already a blessing from heaven!” Tai Concubine Xu told everyone, “Since the late Emperor’s departure, I have witnessed the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager grieve day and night, and I often feel guilty in my heart for not being able to share the worries of the two empresses! Therefore, after the Empress Dowager’s night dream of the Grand Princess of Chen, I thought that if I could let the King of Shu be recognized under the name of the Grand Princess of Chen, so that the Grand Princess of Chen would have a descendant to pay tribute to, I thought that both the late Emperor, and the Empress Dowager could be a little comforted! This is the only thing my concubine can do now, and I hope that Your Majesty, the Empress, and all the former princes will allow my concubine to fulfill her filial duty to repay the late Emperor’s kindness in the past!”

Regardless of how people inside and outside the persuasion, Mrs. Xu bit the bullet on this statement and refused to let go her statement is in line with the way of filial piety and righteousness that is being promoted nowadays, and everyone is not in a position to say anything, but can only secretly spit out blood.

Finally, Empress Wei personally came over, half a threat, half a reminder, said, “This dynasty inherited the system of the previous dynasty, childless concubines can not live in the Imperial City for a long time. Xu mother consort can live here, all because of the knee of the king of Shu, once the king of Shu out of succession, mother consort is the knee is empty! When the time comes, it is inevitable that a palace car will be sent to the palace! Xu mother consort in order to fulfill filial piety disregard for their own is just, but the Chen State Royal Aunt has long since passed away, the Chen State Grand Princess House has also been returned to the Treasury. If the king of Shu lost the identity of the prince can no longer live in the Jia Mu Palace, but asked him to a halfgrown child where to go?”

“Of course even if he becomes the emperor’s nephew, it’s impossible to say that there’s no place to live when it’s true.”

“Just … then Mother Consort Xu is far away in the palace, his residence is not reliable elders to keep an eye on, in case he suffers underneath the people to be cut off what can be done?”

“Even if Imperial Grandmother is willing to raise Fifth Brother on her knees as she raised Ah Xiu back then, Mother Consort Xu herself said: due to Imperial Grandmother’s grief over the late Emperor’s death, her phoenix body has been somewhat unruly these past two years.”

“Only, I’m afraid, incapable of looking after the fifth brother very well?”

Everyone knew that the reason why Dowager Consort Xu had begged the Dowager Empress to pass the King of Shu to the Grand Princess of Chen Guo was simply because she didn’t want her son to be caught up in the battle for the throne her aim was to have the King of Shu in peace.

Now the Empress is implying in her words that even if the King of Shu is succeeded, at his age, without Mrs. Xu as his biological mother to take care of and mention him, and the Dowager Empress and other elders who harbor goodwill towards him are old and sick, there is nothing he can do about it, so can he really rest on his laurels after being the son of the Grand Princess of the Kingdom of Chen?

Mrs. Xu’s face paled.

Seeing this, Empress Wei slowed down her tone and persuaded, “Mother Consort’s heart of love for her son is touching, and this palace will not talk to Mother Consort about falsehoods: right now, my Wei family does have the intention of supporting the King of Shu’s ascension to the throne.”

Speaking of this, the Empress could not hide the choking in her tone, the Crown Prince, this morning, finally out of the danger of premature death, however, the damage to the lobes of the lungs is difficult to make up for, unless a miracle occurs, it will not be able to heal in the future from now on, the Crown Prince will not even be able to walk briskly, let alone picking up the heavy burden of this Great Rui world?

Most importantly, the Crown Prince is young and has yet to take a consort.

I’m dragging around a sickly body now, what if I don’t have a descendant in the future?

At that time, there would inevitably be another battle for the throne the courtiers had had enough of the dynastic turmoil from the Xianjia Dynasty to the present, and they desperately hoped that a healthy, longlived, and nonconfused emperor would come to power and revive the smoothness and prosperity of the Xianjia Dynasty.

The King of Shu, who was originally just the Wei family as an alternative, had now crossed over to the Crown Prince as the preferred choice.

The Empress pressed down her complicated mind and continued, “But this purpose is also obvious to outsiders! If things can come to fruition, mother consort is less likely to be the Holy Mother Empress Dowager! We have no grievances, we still want to borrow the fifth brother’s name to avenge the crown prince, and how would we treat you mother and son poorly?”

“If things don’t work out, the fifth brother has always been friendly with King Su, and it is not the fifth brother’s wish to compete with King Su for the throne this must be King Su’s understandable, at most, it is just to let the fifth brother be an idle king in the future, and not letting him come into contact with the military affairs of the country! Since Mother Concubine doesn’t care that Fifth Brother won’t be able to hold on to power, can’t she still accept such an outcome?”

Hearing this, Imperial Concubine Xu shed a tear and said in an astringent voice: ”The Empress makes it sound so easy! This throne of the fight, even flesh and blood relatives are immortal! Especially because King Su was so kind to my son in his early years, if my son betrays him, will he not resent my son more and more?”

Speaking here, she got up and left her seat, kneeling down towards Empress Wei, pleading, “The Empress is the same as my concubine, both of them only have one child alive now, since the Empress loves and pities the Crown Prince, I also beg the Empress to put her heart in the right place, and let my son have a chance to live! My concubine will live and work as an ox and a horse to repay your favor!”

Although Crown Princess Xu was not a very sophisticated person, at least she had spent so many years in the palace palace exams, and she still had basic common sense.

Empress Wei’s words sounded good, but even if they won and King Shu became Emperor the Crown Prince was only being questioned by the ministers about whether he could take up the heavy responsibility of Da Rui River and Mountain due to an injury to his lungs, and he didn’t die or lose his fertility!

Once the Crown Prince gave birth to an heir in the future, would the Wei family not want to hand over the throne to someone with their own blood?

At that time, the King of Shu, as well as the King of Shu’s heirs, would have to take their lives to pave the way for the Crown Prince’s child!

Mrs. Xu didn’t mind her son being a puppet, after all, she didn’t have any desire for power in the first place. . but she absolutely refused to let her son fall into the danger of being used up and thrown away!

So how could she agree to let King Shu go and help the Wei family fight for the throne?

She knocked on the temple bricks one by one, and the dawn green colored temple bricks were quickly knocked into a crimson color.

While sitting at the end of the Wei Empress, face expressionless for a long time, only to laugh out bitterly, “Xu mother consort intelligent, and why is it so difficult for the Palace?”

The Empress closed her eyes and said softly, “Do you think that this matter, now that the Palace is willing to spare you mother and son, you mother and son can be safe?”

To support King Shu to ascend the throne and take out King Su and the Su family, this is the decision of the Wei family as the dominant group of people who originally supported the establishment of the Crown Prince, or those who did not want King Su to ascend the throne, to join forces.

Not to mention Empress Wei, even Wei Xi could not possibly veto this matter with a single word right now.

Tai Consort Xu’s kowtowing motion violently stopped, and a moment later, she slumped to the ground, whimpering out, “Why? We obviously don’t want to fight for anything, we don’t want to harm anyone, we just want to live our lives peacefully why does it have to come to us?!!!”

“… “Empress Wei did not make a sound, but there were also tears slowly sliding down in her eyes.

She didn’t want to hurt anyone or force anyone either, and she would have just wanted to go along with the flow and live like that!

Obviously her son should rightfully inherit this country, should follow the example of the late emperor to achieve a generation of Mingjun’s name obviously everything is fine, but now she can only watch her son lying on the sickbed swallowing bowl after bowl of bitter medicine with difficulty, watching what originally belonged to her son, everything, including health including hope, all of them Abandon him …

If Dowager Consort Xu felt aggrieved, why wouldn’t Empress Wei feel aggrieved as well?

Moreover, she knew that Empress Su must have felt aggrieved and joined hands with her mother’s family to plan the seizure of the throne she and her mother’s family had made great efforts in the late Emperor’s ascension to the throne, and what had the Cui family done for the late Emperor? Why should Da Rui be handed over to the grandson of the Cui family instead of the grandson of her Su family?

In particular, the Su family has grown in the twenty years of Emperor Xianjia’s reign, Emperor Duanhua has no blood relationship with the Su family, and unlike Emperor Xianjia, who had the friendship of suffering with the Su family and remembered the old times, even if the Su family did not support the Su King to grab the throne with him, after he came to power, would he be assured of the Su family’s good existence?

When He Lou Duhan lurked by Gu Shao’s side, King Su was not yet born.

At that time no one could guarantee that Empress Su could have her own biological son; after all, Empress Su, as Emperor Xianjia’s wedded wife, was the first to marry Emperor Xianjia for so many years she was barren, who dares to say that she would have a pair of children one after another in a few years’ time?

Moreover, Emperor Xianjia’s health has always been bad, that would even Emperor Xianjia himself feel that he won’t live long! Once he dies, even if Empress Su can still give birth, who will she give birth to?

The Su family left He Lou Duo Han this backhanded, the figure is bound not to seize the throne, I’m afraid it is used as a revitalization of the family’s reputation.

After all, the reason why Gu Shao was driven back to his hometown was because Emperor Xianjia wanted to leave him to his own son a matter that many people knew in their hearts at the time.

The Su family, who feared that Emperor Duanhua would be unfavorable to their family after he ascended the throne, could not possibly ignore this opportunity.

Gu Shao is regretting that there is no one else to follow in his footsteps, and indeed, under the double confusion of blood and talent, he will He Lou Duhan as his own, and cultivate and once Emperor Xianjia died, Gu Shao will be restored and reused, so that in the Duanhua Emperor against the Su family, you can indirectly influence Gu Shao through this person, and give the Su family to stay a way out.

As long as Fufeng Hall is not destroyed, no matter how badly it is defeated, following Gu Shao’s He Lou Duhan, however, will certainly be a smooth transition.

So the Su family revitalization of the family, there are also important members of the dynasty can be carried for the care.

… Tai Fei Xu, Empress Wei and Empress Su all feel aggrieved, so who really caused all this?

Thinking about it, I can only blame Emperor Huizong, right?

If he did not favor Shentu Guifei and Lady Zhenyuan, resulting in the Emperor Xianjia to be a son of the emperor had a difficult time, and therefore fell sick, only the early twenties every day to worry about their own sleep, in order to the Emperor Xianjia to the Empress Dowager Su’s respect, absolutely will not be so early in the establishment of the Crown Prince, and brought around to personally teach!

In that case, Emperor Xianjia naturally would not have chosen the first daughter of the Fengzhou Wei Clan as his wife for his eldest son, lest he blocked the path of his first son who was hard to come by in that case, these tragedies, too, would not have happened.

But Emperor Huizong is long dead.

Now, who can blame them?

“If I had known that Radiant Child would be injured to such an extent because of this, I would have rather bowed down at Empress Su’s feet from the very beginning!” Empress Wei thought sadly, “What else is more important than the wellbeing of Radiant Child?”

But she also knows that if the crown prince had not fallen into the current situation, it would have been impossible to let her surrender … without a fight in the first place!

… Looking at the back of the Empress leaving, the Xu Tai Fei, who was kneeling in the hall, raised her head blankly, and her eyes were full of despair.

A short while later, she seemed to have thought of something, and a touch of determination floated up between her brows!
