Chapter 498: Palace Fighting Is Better To Rebel (End)(1/2)
He Tiantian didn't seem to hear Emperor Yongcheng's accusation, nor did he seem to see the ridiculous look of Prince Liang who was so excited that he almost fainted.
She suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, the Ai family also has something to tell everyone!"
Wang Yuan, Feng Shou and other old foxes raised their eyelids one after another. They knew that the "drama" was coming!
Other officials were a little confused.
Isn't it time to discuss the important matter of "deposing the emperor"? Why did the Empress Dowager He suddenly interfere with other matters?
Could it be that what Queen Mother He is going to say has something to do with deposing Zhao Gui?
Under everyone's doubtful gazes, He Tiantian continued, "Everyone should know that the Ai family is not the late emperor's first wife!"
"Thirty years ago, before the late emperor launched his army, he had married a wife and had several concubines..."
boom!
In the court hall, some elders of the two dynasties, especially those who followed the late emperor, all had their memories awakened by the words of Queen Mother He.
Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes, he thought of it!
Okay, what a powerful Queen Mother He!
He knew that Queen Mother He would never be controlled or coerced by others.
Even if that person is her own flesh and blood.
Feng Shou pursed his lips.
As a fellow rebel with the late emperor, Feng Shou was not the first to follow the late emperor, but he was the one who understood the various situations of the late emperor the best.
For example, his origin, his previous marriage and his wife and children who were separated during the war.
Yes, separated!
Although the late emperor claimed to the outside world that his first wife and many children died in the war.
However, the fact is that the late emperor did not have definite news.
At most, there is no news from those relatives.
At first, the late emperor ordered people to search everywhere. Later, Feng Shou suggested that the late emperor marry the He family.
In order to ensure that he can marry the He family's daughter and successfully take over the He family's troops and territory.
The late emperor no longer looked for his separated wife and children, but directly stated that they had all been killed by the rebels.
The late emperor became a widower and had no one to drag him down, so he successfully married the He family.
After the establishment of the new dynasty, the late emperor occasionally thought of his former wives, concubines, and children, but he also secretly searched for them.
However, so many years have passed, and the traces of those people have been nowhere to be found.
The news of He's wedding to the late emperor has long been known to the world.
Even if the late emperor's wife and children were alive, they probably would not dare to recognize their relatives easily.
Former relatives are slowly forgotten.
Until the late emperor's death, he never mentioned it.
Therefore, even a "veteran" like Feng Shou would not easily think of those people without He Tiantian's reminder.
"Before the late emperor passed away, he recalled the past and mentioned that he was unworthy of his first wife and many children!"
"The Ai family and the late emperor are one husband and wife, so naturally they must make up for the shortcomings of the late emperor!"
"Over the years, the Ai family has been ordering people to search everywhere. God has paid off. After all these years of searching, the Ai family finally found the bloodline of the late emperor who was among the people!"
He Tiantian pretended to be nostalgic, and even squeezed out a few tears when she mentioned the late emperor.
She pressed the handkerchief to the corners of her eyes, then raised her voice and shouted, "Come here, call Qing'er!"
Speaking of "Qing'er", He Tiantian also specially explained, "This child is the eldest son of the late emperor's eldest son. He is six years old this year. The Ai family named him Zhao Qing."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the original wife is simply the most orthodox and legitimate heir.
A gleam flashed in Wang Yuan's eyes.
Feng Shou couldn't help but secretly admire him.
As for the King of Liang, the King of Han, and Emperor Yongcheng on the dragon throne, they were already stunned.
Some of the Zhao family members and the group of warriors who were extremely loyal to the late emperor were looking forward to it very much.
"Oh my god, this kid looks exactly like a cat!"
When Tao Yong saw Zhao Qing, he shouted excitedly.
He was one of the late emperor's most trusted veterans. Not only did he know that the late emperor did have a first wife, but he had also met the woman who came from an ordinary official family and her two sons and one daughter.
Mao'er is the nickname of the eldest son of his original wife.
"That's right. I've also met Da Lang. Da Lang was only five or six years old at the time!"
An Guogong, Ding Guogong and other military honors gathered around and stared at Zhao Qing with all their might.
They were shouting and screaming, and they were inexplicably excited.
It seems that they have never forgotten the wife and children of the late emperor who were lost among the people;
And Dalang and so on have always existed very vividly in the depths of their memories.
Even Feng Shou was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhao Qing.
He didn't think Zhao Qing looked like a cat, but he found that the child's facial features were very similar to those of the late emperor.
This child has the unique red phoenix eyes of the Zhao family. The eyes are slender and the ends of the eyes are raised up, which is particularly interesting.
Moreover, according to Queen Mother He's meticulous behavior, since she pushed Zhao Qing to the stage, she was fully prepared.
There must be no flaw in "identity".
Perhaps, the Zhao Qing in front of him is very likely to be the blood of the late emperor.
However, it is not certain whether he is the direct eldest son or not.
Feng Shou looked at Zhao Qing, then at Zhao Gui, who was already dumbfounded, and Zhao Yao, a pair of brothers in distress.
He closed his eyes hard and let it go. Anyway, the emperor of Dayuan was still "Zhao", and he did not violate the covenant with the late emperor.
And he, an old man, really doesn't have a few years to live.
I just ask the Queen Mother He to wait a few more years, wait until he closes his eyes, and doesn’t care whether she continues to attend the court or establishes a new monarch, then she just doesn’t care about Feng Shou!
Feng Shou gave up completely.
The aristocratic families represented by Wang Yuan are also very satisfied with having a young emperor.
The clan, the martial arts heroes, they all seemed very happy to be able to recover the late emperor's bloodline among the people with Queen Mother He.
Other courtiers: ...Wow, so many melons!
The only ones who were unhappy were probably the kings of Liang and Han who were "making wedding clothes for others"!
Damn it, if I had known that the He family had such preparations, why would they have been jumping up and down to connect with each other before?
They tried their best to oust Zhao Gui from the throne. As a result, they did not get any benefits, but they watched the Queen Mother He easily get the eldest grandson of his original wife to sit on the throne.
It's ridiculous that King Liang was still dreaming just now, thinking that the Queen Mother had lost to the mother and son.
Of course, the most disappointed and disbelieving person was Emperor Yongcheng.
He didn't wake up until he was dragged off the dragon chair, took off his dragon robe, and locked up in a side hall.
"My mother really doesn't want me anymore?"
"She, she would rather let a wild kid found from nowhere be the emperor than let me be?"
"There are also some men like Tao Yong. Not only did they not help me, but they also helped that little bastard? Aren't they worried about their daughters?"
Locked up in a side hall, with layers of guards at the door, Emperor Yongcheng became the deposed emperor and was imprisoned.
He finally reacted and realized his situation. He turned around in circles crazily and kept mumbling.
"...The Queen Mother has appointed Zhao Qing as emperor, with the reign title Pingkang."
"He thought that the Queen Mother would call her old, so she changed the name of the Queen Mother to the Queen of Heaven, and the Queen Mother He became the Queen of Heaven!"
"The deposed Emperor Zhao Gui was granted the title of Prince Shun and will soon move to the Daming Palace! Queen He was kind and took pity on the deposed Emperor's Empress Tao, Concubine Han and other young and innocent people, and allowed them to return home and remarry..."
One piece of news passed through the mouth of the guard and reached the ears of Emperor Yongcheng.
"Haha! Hahaha! That's it. It turns out that she has already negotiated terms with Tao, Han and others!"
Therefore, Tao Yong and others did not stop everyone from deposing Emperor Yongcheng, but secretly helped - without the certification of these veterans, Zhao Qing would not be able to sit on that chair.
"The Queen of Heaven? What Queen of Heaven?"
Compared to Emperor Yongcheng's madness, Zheng Nian'er, who was sent by He Tiantian to accompany Emperor Yongcheng, keenly grasped the key points.
As a time-traveling woman from later generations, she is very aware of the only female emperor in history.
Wu made a lot of preparations before proclaiming himself emperor.
