Chapter 271

Twenty years of peace, Emperor Wencheng died.

His Highness the eighth prince, who led the forbidden guards to force the palace, was killed by unknown people in the emperor's bedroom.

As the leader of the forbidden guards, Wang Tongling was beheaded by the general of the cavalry camp led by Prime Minister Jiang to the side of the Qing monarch.

After a day and night of chaos inside and outside the court, with the joint efforts of Prime Minister Jiang, empress Jiang and all courtiers, peace was finally restored.

Concubine Yi, the biological mother of the eighth prince, who knew that the situation was gone, drank poisonous wine and committed suicide in Yutang palace.

What happened one day and one night quickly spread all over the capital and became people's after dinner gossip.

Half a month later, the courtiers gathered again in the Jinluan hall.

Only this time, there was no one on the Dragon chair.

Father Xi walked up with the edict in his hands and read it aloud.

This imperial edict was written by the emperor before his death. It is an imperial edict to pass the throne.

The emperor wanted to pass the throne to Xiao Jingyue, which was expected by all the courtiers.

But Xiao Jingyue is not in the capital now, and the country can't live without a king for a day, which is a big problem at present.

The Chamberlain of the Ministry of war stepped out and asked, "do you need to call general Xiao back to Beijing to hold the grand ceremony of succession?"

Another courtier also stepped out, shook his head and said, "No. the country can't be without a king for a day, and the army can't be without a handsome for a day."

The two wars are locked together. At this critical juncture, there can be no difference.

A courtier suggested, "if you don't order someone to send a letter first, let's see how general Xiao decides?"

This proposal has won the approval of most people.

Prime Minister Jiang and the queen looked at each other, and the queen nodded gently.

After going down, the queen asked mother Lin to bring the little prince. Wen Sheng asked, "did your brother-in-law say anything to you when he sent you into the palace?"

The little prince said truthfully, "I asked my sister."

The queen nodded, "what else?"

The little prince whispered, "my brother-in-law asked me if I wanted to be an emperor."

The queen fainted and smiled, "how did mu'er answer?"

The little prince said, "I don't want to be an emperor. Being an emperor is too busy."

The queen asked again, "what if you must be?"

The little prince frowned and said in a muffled voice, "then I will be very distressed."

He doesn't want to be an emperor. He wants to go to miaojiang.

Listen to Jiang Huo and Axin. Miao Jiang is fun.

The queen raised her hand and touched the little prince's head without saying anything more.

The little prince couldn't help asking, "can't my father really come back?"

He heard that there is something that can make people angry and revive. Can't he use this kind of thing to let his father live.

The queen smiled and whispered, "I can't come back."

Because in this world, no one wants him back except her silly son.

……

Half a month later, Xiao Jingyue sent a letter back.

The letter stated that he had no intention of the throne and asked the ministers to choose another candidate.

But there are only a few descendants under the knee of the former Emperor. There is no candidate.

During the debate, some people thought of the ninth prince who left the palace when he was young.

Immediately someone shook his head: "the ninth Prince is away all year round. If you can't find someone, you'd better say it."

I can't even find anyone. How can I succeed?

Besides, I haven't heard from him for so many years. Who knows if he can shoulder this great responsibility?

Another asked Prime Minister Jiang, "what do you think, Prime Minister?"

Prime Minister Jiang looked straight and said, "you can try to get people back first."

So the courtiers began to mobilize their contacts to find the whereabouts of the ninth prince.

However, two days after their men were sent out, commander he of Xiaoqi camp entered the palace with a letter.

Along with the letter came the keepsake of the ninth prince.

The ninth prince said in his letter that he had no intention of the throne and asked them to choose another candidate.

A good throne. The abandoned Prince and the eighth Prince have been fighting for positions for so many years, but they have been pushed around here.

This makes the courtiers who have stood in line and worked hard for the prince they support look hot.

The ministers talked and talked, and finally decided to push Zhao mu, the youngest Prince of the ten princes, to the throne.

Zhao mu, the tenth prince, is the direct son of the queen. Except for his younger age, he is fully qualified to inherit the throne.

So the ministers sent a letter to Xiao Jingyue in the frontier and the ninth prince in the southwest. With their consent, they took Zhao mu, the tenth prince, as emperor and ordered the prime minister to Regent.

The ministers had no objection to the Regency of Prime Minister Jiang.

First of all, Prime Minister Jiang is the elder of the two dynasties. Second, Prime Minister Jiang has no children and no successors.

Even if he became the most powerful relative of Qi, it was only a few years.

In addition, Prime Minister Jiang is the father of the queen and the grandfather of Zhao mu, the tenth prince. He will certainly help wholeheartedly.

Moreover, if the ten princes can please Qu Ling and her brother-in-law Xiao Jingyue, and get the support of Zhennan palace, they don't worry about being unstable in this position.

The great event hanging in the hearts of the courtiers has been solved.

But they were willing, but Zhao mu, the tenth prince, was unwilling.

In all his education after he became sensible, the art of emperor was not included.

No one told him that he would be an emperor in the future.

The little prince naturally thought that he would only be an idle prince in the future. He didn't have to be bound by anyone where he wanted to go.

Who knows it's not at all.

Before taking the throne, the little prince cried to find Qu Ling and said he didn't want to live.

Qu Ling laughed when she learned that Xiao Jingyue and the ninth Prince pushed back and forth, and the throne finally fell on the little prince.

Seeing that the little prince came to cry, Qu Ling smiled shamelessly.

The little prince said angrily, "sister, I hate you!"

Qu Ling pointed to her round belly and said with a smile, "touch it for you. Don't be angry."

The little prince hummed on Qu Ling's stomach and complained with his unborn cousin: "your mother and your father are bad. You must not be like them in the future!"

Qu Ling laughed and burst into tears.

The little prince had a quarrel in the prime minister's house and was not picked up by the palace people until evening.

Qu Ling stood at the door of the house and looked at the figure of the little prince. What the queen had said to her earlier in the palace came to her mind.

That day in Fengyi palace, the queen asked her, "does ah Ling believe in her aunt?"

She nodded heavily.

The queen gently hugged her and whispered in her ear, "the emperor wants to pass the throne to General Xiao. If that day comes, my aunt and your grandfather will take your parents' kindness as a chip and Force General Xiao to give up the throne."

"The location of the mother of a country looks like a beautiful scenery. In the final analysis, it's just a canary in a cage. Aya, the imperial palace is not suitable for you. The rest of your life should be free and happy. You shouldn't be trapped in these palace walls and share your husband with other women. Do you understand what my aunt said?"

Qu Ling's eyes were slightly wet. She looked at the carriage sent by the palace to pick up the little prince and murmured, "ah Ling understands."

At that time, the emperor insisted on giving her the empress, but he didn't think whether she was willing or suitable for that position.

She can't be free, but she can't accept sharing her husband with other women.

Xiao Jingyue belongs to her alone. No one can touch her!

"Oh, little ancestor, what are you doing standing here?"

Tao Bo trotted over with his soup cup. Seeing that Qu Ling was so thin, he was worried immediately.

Qu Ling said with a helpless smile, "it's still warm this day. I'll stand for a while."

Tao Bo said, "when you feel something, it will be late!"

Qu Ling couldn't bear his worry and obediently went back to her yard.

Doctor Gu, who was eating melon seeds in the yard and reading the script, caught a glimpse of Qu Ling coming back and asked, "little bastard sent away?"
