The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 462: The cruelty of taking the throne
Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty-Second The Cruelty of Seizing the Inheritance
The empress dowager was very popular among the people, and the people were mourning when she passed away.
Zi'an can't investigate the poison of the empress dowager, because the empress dowager's body can't let her use a knife, but she knows that even if it is found to be poisonous, there is no way to find it on the imperial concubine, because the noble lady The concubine didn't know how to poison, and Sun Fang'er had not been in the palace for so long.
This matter can only be put on hold and checked later.
King Nanhuai didn't set off, but he went into the palace to kowtow in a ma and filial piety. In front of hundreds of officials, he cried like a concubine, crying and crying. He slammed into the empress dowager's mourning hall and didn't die. , but fainted.
Seeing that King Nanhuai was so sad, officials who didn't know the inside story felt that he was filial, and they liked and forwarded it one after another...and spread it among the people.
The death of the empress dowager naturally cannot be hidden from the emperor. Under the grief of the emperor, his condition became more and more serious.
After the empress dowager's funeral, the emperor summoned the princes and Murong Jie into the palace on this day to discuss the candidate of the prince.
Although King Nanhuai was enfeoffed, many ministers wrote letters to ask King Nanhuai to keep filial piety in Beijing because of the scene he performed in front of the empress dowager.
So, when the emperor summoned the royal family members to the palace to discuss, he also came.
The king of Yuedong is very old, so he first said who he would recommend. He recommended King Liang.
This move was seconded by the Prince of Dean.
King Nanhuai and King Beixuan recommended the seventh prince, the son of Concubine Yi.
The two parties fought and couldn't stand the fight. The emperor looked at Murong Jie, "Do you have any suitable candidates?"
Everyone is looking at Murong Jie. In fact, everyone knows that Murong Jie and Liang Wang have a good relationship. During these days, he has been promoting Liang Wang continuously. Therefore, everyone thinks that he will recommend Liang Wang.
However, he didn't expect him to say something, "The third prince of Concubine Mei, Murong Yan, is young and intelligent, and the minister recommends him."
This move caused everyone's laughter, even Prince Li said: "Forget it, before he went to the study last year, he had hired a master to teach literature and horsemanship, but every master said that he He was stubborn and did not listen to the teaching. Later, he went to the study. Li Xueshi said that although he was smart, he did not follow the right path.
Murong Jie looked at Prince Li, "In the past, the ancestors also said that the third brother could not be carved out of rotten wood, didn't he become a good one in the end?"
Prince Li was startled, "When did the ancestor say this? Why doesn't this king know? You are talking nonsense."
"No nonsense, everyone knows it." Murong Jie said.
Prince An frowned, "That's not right, the ancestors said he was a stone in a quarry, smelly and hard."
"No, no," the Night King said eloquently: "The ancestors said that he was a little old man when he was a child."
Prince Li's old face turned green, "She said that this king is a prudent boy and will be a good candidate in the future."
"Yeah, stupid!"
The emperor also laughed, thinking of his youthful years, it was really good, everything is carried by the ancestors, the ancestors are there, the sky will not fall.
After talking for a while, Zi An came over, "Let's talk about it tomorrow, the emperor should rest."
One is that the emperor's health is really bad, and the other is that we have been talking for a long time today. Everyone is looking at the emperor up close, and it is easy to see the clues.
Murong Jie said: "Yes, let's go first, we will discuss it tomorrow."
All the princes left, but the Yuedong prince didn't leave, he was still sitting still.
"Your Highness, do you have anything to do?" Zi An asked.
"Your Majesty," the King of Yuedong looked at the Emperor, "this king wants to tell you a few words today, regardless of whether you can hear it or not, this king has to say it."
The emperor waved his hand, "Uncle Huang, I know what you're going to say. You want to talk about the marriage of the little aunt and Xiao Xiao, don't you?"
Zi An and Murong Jie looked at each other, and finally someone mentioned it.
The king of Yuedong said solemnly: "This king is old, and I don't care about anything, but I can't let go of this little sister. In the past, when your mother looked at her, this king can rest assured, but now, the empress dowager is gone. , There are all juniors in front of her. Only the king can make the decision of her marriage. Now Xiao Xiao is in Hanshan for treatment and is expected to recover. If he gets better, I hope the emperor will approve this marriage. If the emperor is afraid of the Xiao family, Let the Zhuangzhuang couple go to my east of Guangdong, and let this king watch them. The emperor will not believe this king, right? This king is also a member of the Murong family. If anyone threatens the Murong family's power, this king will be determined no matter who it is. I won't be soft-hearted."
The emperor smiled weakly, "Uncle Huang, I won't stop it now, so let her marry Xiao Xiao."
The King of Yuedong was startled. He thought that the emperor had to say something about the country's bastards, but he didn't expect to agree so smoothly?
Zi An and Murong Jie's hearts were also a little more at ease. At least, the emperor expressed his opinion, and it was an attitude of approval.
Sending away the King of Yuedong, Zi'an quickly gave the emperor acupuncture, "The emperor has worked so hard recently, his body can't bear it, and he must rest more."
The emperor smiled and said, "It's okay. When I sleep in the future, if I don't deal with the things behind me, I won't feel at ease when I leave!"
If these words were said from the mouths of seven or eighty people, Zi An would not feel uncomfortable in his heart, but the emperor was in his prime, and it was sad to say these sad words in the sunset.
After applying the needle, Zi An withdrew, leaving Murong Jie and the emperor to speak alone here.
"Tell me, why is it Yan'er!" The emperor lowered his eyes and asked lightly.
"The younger brother thinks that he will become a Ming Jun." Murong Jie said.
"I have heard about him, and the teacher who taught him, shook his head and sighed, saying that he would become a person like Lao Jiu in the future, and I could not entrust the country to his hands." The emperor said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, hearing it is worse than seeing it in person. When your body is better, the younger brother will take you to the study to have a look." Murong Jie said with a smile, "The younger brother also heard that he was stubborn before, so he specially asked Zi'an to observe him. After seeing it, Zi An spoke highly of him, and the younger brother also went to observe him, his temperament made the younger brother think of someone."
"Who?" The Emperor asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Your Majesty."
"Zhen?" The emperor was stunned, then laughed and scolded: "What about scolding me in circles? I'm not like him. When I was as old as him, the teachers praised me very much."
"That's because, back then, you were named a prince, and you were born directly from your mother."
The emperor looked at him, "You mean that the teachers bullied his background? His background is not low, and his mother is also a concubine."
"It is a concubine, and he is also a prince. His status is indeed noble, but he is not the future emperor. It seems that there is no difference. You were the prince back then, so you put forward the opposite opinion to the teacher, which is to break the old and establish the new, but when Yan Er was like you, the teacher said that he was rebellious and would not listen to the teaching."
The emperor thought about it for a while, "I heard you say this, I also want to take the test for this kid myself. When I feel better someday, you will bring him here."
"Okay, when your spirits are better, my younger brother will bring him here." Murong Jie smiled, but his brows were filled with sorrow. Could his spirits be any better?
After going through his mother's affairs, he did get a lot worse all of a sudden, and even Zi'an couldn't give an accurate word.
Especially when talking about the candidate of the prince today, he can predict that the eventful season will come soon.
Seizing the heir is the cruelest thing the royal family can do.
