Chapter 102 Return
There were still many people among the officials who continued to analyze. Emperor Yu listened for a long time and came to a general conclusion. 80% of the people recommended King Yong, 10% recommended King Jing, and the other 10% hoped that Emperor Yu would give Rui Rui another chance.
The king had an opportunity. Before the prince was established as the crown prince, he was titled Prince Rui. After deposing him as crown prince, the courtiers also called him Prince Rui. As for King Cheng, who had not stayed in Dadu for several years, because
After disappearing from everyone's sight for a long time, no one recommended him. After listening to everyone's remarks, Emperor Yu looked calm and undecided. No one was surprised, as the crown prince could not be decided in an early court meeting. What did they mean by establishing the crown prince today?
It has been stated that I will just find some time to mention it occasionally later. What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can hear what everyone means. King Yong has the loudest voice, and there is a high probability that the position of the crown prince will not be lost. Now King Yong is still in the mansion.
After being banned, if King Yong has done a few more meritorious deeds, is he still afraid that he will not be crowned prince? "Your Majesty."
Feng Lin, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said respectfully, "It will be Concubine Shu's birthday in a few days. Will we continue to offer sacrifices to King Rui as we did last year?"
As soon as these words came out, the people who had been discussing the throne eagerly just now shut up. They all knew that the emperor had a deep affection for Concubine Shu, who had been dead for more than ten years, and he still missed her. As the biological mother of King Rui, she had to offer sacrifices to her.
But now that King Rui was punished, he had to either replace the sacrifice with another prince, or take this year's sacrifice. The Minister of Rites was not sure, so he must ask for instructions. Emperor Yu sighed and seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time. That year
, Emperor Yu and Concubine Shu first met and fell in love. If the late emperor had not taken a fancy to the queen's family background and insisted on letting him marry the queen, according to Emperor Yu's thoughts, he would definitely marry Concubine Shu as his first wife. Later, Emperor Yu
He accepted Concubine Shu as a noble concubine and gave her the most love. But she only had respect for the queen and no love at all. The queen knew the thoughts of Emperor Yu very well. She had not fought for him in the palace for so many years and devoted herself to fighting for him.
Take good care of the Sixth Palace, and never ask for anything else. Who knows how miserable a beauty is, but a few years after giving birth to King Rui, Concubine Shu suffered from an illness and passed away. At that time, Emperor Yu was heartbroken, and for the prince
He cherished Concubine Shu even more, and poured all his love for Concubine Shu into Prince Rui. Although more than ten years had passed, Emperor Yu still had mixed feelings and heartache when he thought of Concubine Shu's beautiful face.
On Concubine Shu’s birthday this year, Emperor Yu had already thought about letting the prince to be honored and worshiped. He did not want other princes to perform sacrifices on her behalf, after all, she was not the daughter of Concubine Shu. Emperor Yu did not use royal etiquette for Concubine Shu, but
It's just an ordinary husband's preference for his wife. He hopes that their children will be sacrificed to their mother properly. If it were anyone else, Concubine Shu would not be happy. As his thoughts surged, his eyes turned red and he didn't speak for a long time. At this time,
, let’s see who can guess the emperor’s thoughts and come out to speak his mind for the emperor. “Your Majesty.”
Zhang Shaojie, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up and said, "Concubine Shu is virtuous, sensitive, tolerant, filial and compassionate. She is a model for women in the world. I believe that the most important friendship in the world is the love of parents. Your Majesty has always valued filial piety. Concubine Shu's
On the birthday of the dead, please ask King Rui to offer sacrifices. I believe that people in the world will not say that your majesty changes your orders in the morning and evening, but will only praise your majesty for your love and justice and the word filial piety."
Such a man who valued love and justice, and put filial piety first. Emperor Yu's expression brightened, why didn't he realize that Zhang Shaojie was so good at talking before? "Do other dear friends have any opinions?"
Everyone was not blind. Seeing Emperor Yu's reaction, they all knew that Zhang Shaojie had guessed the emperor's thoughts, and they all agreed. Emperor Yu nodded in approval, "Then, as the ministers said, King Yu Rui will leave the palace for seven days to be his biological mother.
Offer sacrifices and guard tombs.”
When all the officials heard this, they were moved. Especially the 10% of officials who had just supported King Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, His Majesty still has affection for King Rui. Many people know that Emperor Yu and Concubine Shu
Because of the love entanglement, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that this His Majesty is also a perfect lover. The matter of discussing the crown prince in the court that day quickly spread through the mouths of the officials. King Yong, who was confined in the palace,
, naturally heard it. Needless to say, King Jing would not be a stumbling block for him at all. But when he thought that there were still people supporting the deposed prince, King Yong's heart became heavy. The deposed prince's qualifications were mediocre, not as good as him at all.
Now he has made such a big mistake, but because he has a good mother and concubine, he is allowed to leave the palace for seven days. This time Emperor Yu relents, which is just the beginning. After King Rui leaves the palace, he will inevitably have to go to Emperor Yu to please and behave. When the time comes
Emperor Yu's heart softened. Maybe the former prince would have another chance to stand up. He had spent so much effort to bring him down. This time, there was no way he would have another chance to come back. King Yong was anxious and immediately
He wanted to discuss with Ye Ningyu, but he couldn't leave the house, and Emperor Yu didn't allow others to visit, so he could only discuss it with two advisers at his house. In just a few days, he had summoned his advisers to discuss it several times. But Nai was away from Shu.
The imperial concubine's birthday was only a few days away, and it was already too late to think of a way to prevent King Rui from leaving the palace. King Yong thought more than once that if Ye Ningyu were here, there would be a way. The day came in a blink of an eye, and King Rui was between two
After many months, I left the prince's mansion for the first time. First, I and Emperor Yu worshiped Concubine Shu, and then went to the concubine's mausoleum to guard the tomb. Now the former prince seems to have learned his lesson, and has been talking less and being obedient. During the ceremony, he burst into tears.
Then he burst into tears. These tears were not fake, but he felt aggrieved when he thought that his father did not care for his mother and was gone. It seemed that he would never get ahead. Emperor Yu saw his favorite son like this
Looking like this, I couldn't bear it for a moment, and my loving fatherly heart ached again. After the sacrifice, Emperor Yu gave some rewards to King Rui to express his comfort. When King Yong learned the news, he was even more dissatisfied and wanted to go out.
His heart was restless, and he counted the days every day. "After leaving the house, I went to Ye Ningyu to discuss the matter."
The day before the confinement order was lifted, King Yong ordered someone to prepare a big gift at his house, and planned to go to the palace early tomorrow morning to plead guilty to Emperor Yu, and then went to Ye Mansion to discuss important matters with Ye Ningyu. At this moment, he
Little does he know that a trouble has quietly found him. "Ayun, Ayun!"
In the Qiushui courtyard, before the Duans arrived, the voice had already drifted to Ye Ningyu's inner room. Immediately, there was a rush of footsteps. The Duan family had always been like this, and the people in the Qiushui courtyard were not surprised. But today, the Duan family
There seemed to be a hint of anxiety in her voice. The maid serving Ye Ningyu did not dare to delay and hurriedly opened the curtain for Duan. "Ayun, something happened!"
As soon as Duan entered the room, he asked Qinglian and others to leave without asking Ye Ningyu what he meant. After receiving Ye Ningyu's eyes and approval, Qinglian and Luzhu quietly left and closed the door gently.
