A bright moon hanging in the treetop, silver moonlight, everything in the palace appears hazy and mysterious.
Xiao Ming was assassinated, the prince was imprisoned, just a day and a night, Chang'an City has been a wave.
"Emperor, the queen has been kneeling outside for half an hour. If she kneels down again, what can she do if she is tired?"
Feng Deshui looks at Xiao Wenxuan, who is pacing back and forth. Since he came back from the East Palace, Xiao Wenxuan has been very upset. He knows that the prince's hiding of barbarians in the East Palace has upset Xiao Wenxuan.
"She likes to kneel and let her kneel. If she didn't spoil the prince so much, would the prince be so useless?" Xiao Wenxuan said angrily.
Feng Deshui shrinks his neck. This time, Xiao Wenxuan seems to be really angry.
With a sigh, he continued: "emperor, you have to think about the Dragon fetus in the belly of the empress instead of the empress Zhao."
Xiao Wenxuan frowned. Then he remembered that empress Zhao was pregnant. He snorted coldly and said, "let her in."
Feng Deshui nodded. He knew that Xiao Wenxuan was only angry with empress Zhao because of the prince's affairs, but he still cared about empress Zhao in his heart.
He had been with Xiao Wenxuan since he was a child, and he knew very well the position of empress Zhao in his heart.
Many people think that Xiao Wenxuan's support for the crown prince is due to the king of Zhao, but few people know that this is just one of the reasons. The real reason is that Xiao Wenxuan's favorite in this palace is the queen of Zhao.
When Xiao Wenxuan was a prince, he and the prince went to Zhaodi at the same time.
It was at that time that they met queen Zhao, who was known as the first beauty of Zhao.
At that time, the crown prince and Xiao Wenxuan fell in love with empress Zhao at the same time. After the barbarian invasion, empress Zhao was besieged by the barbarians when she was saving her relatives. It was Xiao Wenxuan who rescued empress Zhao by himself.
During this period, they gradually have feelings.
However, at that time, the king of Zhao valued the prince and tried to obstruct him, but the queen of Zhao forced her to die. Finally, the king of Zhao finally agreed to their marriage.
After that, Xiao Wenxuan fought everywhere, and his military achievements were outstanding. He was increasingly favored by the emperor, and the ministers also praised him well.
In this case, the prince gradually revealed his intention to kill Xiao Wenxuan, and sent a secret letter to King Kang to ambush Xiao Wenxuan while Xiao Wenxuan went to Jizhou to fight the rebellion.
However, this secret letter was obtained by Xiao Wenxuan. Since then, he completely strengthened his determination to seize the throne. After leading the troops back to the court, he launched a mutiny to force the prince to commit suicide, and the former Emperor was also imprisoned in the cold palace.
Recalling the past, Feng Deshui can not help but lament in his heart that too many unbearable things have been overlooked in his mind. What is worth and what is not, but now they have become the past.
When he got to the side of empress Zhao, Feng Deshui carefully helped empress Zhao up and said, "empress, your majesty is angry. Be careful what you say."
Empress Zhao wiped her tears. She had been with Xiao Wenxuan since she was 15 years old. Now 30 years have passed, she naturally knows her husband.
She nodded gently and said, "thank you for reminding me."
Feng Deshui gently smiles and helps empress Zhao to the door of the imperial study. He retreats and guards at the door.
Inside, Xiao Wenxuan just glanced at the empress Zhao who came in and ignored her.
Empress Zhao said with a bitter smile, "is the emperor still complaining that his concubine is protecting the prince?"
Xiao Wenxuan snorted and still did not speak.
Seeing this, empress Zhao said sadly, "emperor, do you think my concubine is really just for the future throne of the prince? This time, the prince is wrong, but if he assassinated the king of Qi, how could he hide the assassin in the east palace? This time, the prince was just killed by a traitor. I'm afraid it's still a struggle for the throne. "
"In the end, you still want to keep the crown prince's position as the crown prince. I don't know that the crown prince is only used by others, but this barbarian is really used by him to hide in the east palace for playing. How can I hand over the state of Dayu to such a despairing prince?"
Empress Zhao said slowly: "I understand that the prince is not fighting, but the emperor's assassination is not clear to the emperor? The crown prince is still there, even if someone wants to kill Xiao Ming, they will deal with the crown prince. If the crown prince is abolished, what kind of means will these princes use to kill each other? But any Prince ascends the throne, how will they treat the king of Qi? Don't forget, your majesty, you almost destroyed the state of Dayu in order to eradicate King Kang. Although it was a dangerous move, the barbarians didn't go south any more, but you didn't have a good day in your heart these years, did you? "
"Shut up!".
At that time, it was he who ordered the forbidden army to hold still, which led the barbarians to seize the Sixteen States of Yanyun. The reason why he did so was because of the prince's secret order.
"Your Majesty, I know you don't want to mention it, but please think twice. Now these princes are going to kill the king of Qi. After they ascend the throne, what will they do to the king of Qi? I'm afraid these princes will also collude with the barbarians and kill the king of Qi. If it comes to that time, the barbarians will not give the state of Dayu another chance, and no next king of Qi will be able to resist the barbarians." The empress said word by word."Well, the other princes will kill Xiao Ming. Can't the prince kill the king of Qi? When you were in the East Palace, didn't you see the prince's attitude towards the king of Qi? "
"Concubines can ask the crown prince to submit a nomination certificate to the princes. If the crown prince breaks his promise after he ascends the throne, everyone can kill him!" Empress Zhao Su Sheng said: "but please also let the king of Qi and other princes set up the same vote!"
"Petition!"
Xiao Wenxuan changes color slightly. This is a pledge made by Gaozu and seven other vassal kings of different surnames.
At that time, in order to prevent brothers from killing each other, it was stipulated in the petition that brothers must be killed if they killed each other. This petition has been widely spread in the state of Dayu.
Then the nomination certificate was used again in the period of emperor Gaozu. At that time, the struggle for the throne was the most severe. On his deathbed, Emperor Gaozu asked the princes to set up the nomination certificate and made it clear to the world, which saved the throne of emperor Gaozu.
But Xiao Wenxuan understands that the petition is just a contract. It's up to the prince himself to abide by it. He can't take the petition as a panacea.
"Queen, you take the nomination seriously." Xiao Wenxuan shook his head, "women's view!"
Empress Zhao is still very persistent, she said: "I naturally know that this petition can not completely restrain other princes, but I can guarantee the prince to fulfill his promise, and your majesty can list the king of Qi as the executor of the petition. If the prince breaks the oath, the king of Qi can recruit the prince."
