Chapter 738 The Su family really fell apart
The eyes of Mr. Mu Ru's father-in-law had a slight pain. He knew the little bit of pain the emperor suffered for so long.
As the emperor said, he even treated himself mean. Over the years, no matter how much food and drink are, everything is worse than any master in the palace. This is why he always eats alone, because the meal is really simple.
For the sake of major events in the country, he often had to endure his own joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness. The burden on the emperor's shoulders was too heavy.
The wind blew down a piece of rice paper on the imperial desk. Emperor Mingyuan wanted to write something, but after holding the pen for a long time, he couldn't write a single word.
In the Qingyu Palace, Emperor Mingyuan had already changed people, so even though Concubine Xian was convicted and died, not many people knew about it. Empress Chu and the Imperial Concubine knew it, but no one dared to speak out.
Emperor Mingyuan did not secretly send a funeral, and only claimed to the public that the Virtue was still seriously ill and that his condition did not improve.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the morning court was above. Before the announcement was made, someone really led the report, saying that the prince’s biological mother had committed the crime of great disrespect and unfiliality.
The one who led the report was the King Ji who had been obedient for a while.
King Ji Zhenzhen made a statement, quoted classics and even mentioned the rebellion of the relatives in the harem, and strongly advocated that the prince's biological mother must be well-character, so as not to affect the future heirs of the royal family.
Finally, he said calmly: "For the plan for the Northern Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, my son asked my father to depose the crown prince Yuwenhao and choose other talents to protect the blood of the Northern Tang royal family from the future. Moreover, during his tenure as a Jingzhao Prefecture, Yuwenhao accumulated many unjust cases and had not been solved. It can be seen that his ability is not enough to defeat the important task. I would like to ask my father to think twice."
King Ji's proposal was a peace talk from many ministers in the court, but his words failed to agree with them. First of all, the theory of bloodline is a bit absurd, because the Xian Concubine is from the Su family, but the emperor's biological mother, the Empress Dowager, is also from the Su family, and the Su family is not only a traitor and evil person.
Furthermore, the prince's political achievements are highly recognized. The unjust cases accumulated by Jingzhao Prefecture did not happen during the term of the prince. Many of them were old cases accumulated before and have not been solved. It took a long time to find out, so how easy is it to find out?
However, King Ji also had a follower, and he had already joined forces with several ministers to submit a memorial. Therefore, after he finished speaking, people came out and asked to depose the crown prince.
Emperor Mingyuan was not in a hurry to speak, only seeing how many people supported the deposed prince.
After a little statistics, more than 30% of the proposed ones were discussed.
These may not be the same as King Ji and the party, and most of the people who agree with it are old ministers. Although they agree from the perspective of the court, their ideas are ignorant and they will not be transformed.
Some of these people did not agree with the appointment of Yuwen Hao as the crown prince. They were the stubborn eldest sons or the legitimate sons of the emperor.
Except for these people, the rest did not express their opinions.
It can be seen that the prince is popular, otherwise there would be a large number of opposition to him in the court today.
This made Emperor Mingyuan feel very comforted and was sure that he did not choose the wrong person.
When he first chose Yu Wenhao, he was not completely sure, but the Supreme Emperor wanted to do so. He habitually followed the Supreme Emperor's intentions.
The prince of the rituals came out, held the jade sacrificial treasure book in his hand, and glanced around, saying, "On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the year of Dingyou, that is, last night, the emperor promoted Concubine De as the imperial concubine in Hede Hall, and the princess Yuwenhao and Princess Yuwenling had already been recorded in the name of Concubine De, and recognized Concubine De as the mother. Therefore, anything that Concubine Xian did had nothing to do with the prince. He wanted to impeach the prince's deposed crown prince, and asked His Highness Ji and all the great masters to provide evidence of the prince's great rebellion and immorality and unworthiness. Otherwise, this proposal would be abolished."
There was an uproar in the court.
Even Concubine De's father and brother were shocked. Concubine De was once in the palace. Although she had the holy favor, she had no children. Therefore, being named Concubine De was already a supreme kindness. If this was the case in this life, it would be considered amazing.
But who would have thought that Concubine De would have such great luck when she was middle-aged?
The people of your family hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, regardless of what others said. This grace must be thanked in advance.
They believed that as long as the thanks were fast enough, no one would criticize them to change the emperor's decision.
The Ru family was born as a martial artist. It was a good thing in the past few years because the border was always a little chaotic, but although there were undercurrents in the past two years, it was calm on the surface. Therefore, the general could not make a name for the moment. He had been cowardly for two or three years and had an awkward position in the court. Now Concubine De has been named the Imperial Concubine, and the crown prince is all his own, why is it so unhappy that he laughed out loud?
King Ji was stunned on the spot. He had made great plans, but he never expected that his father would make Yuwen Hao recognize Concubine De as his mother.
This kind of practice has always been done, but it is usually only for princes to do so. For example, the favored concubine has no son, so she asks the prince to come from the concubine and remembers it under the position of concubine. One is to raise the status of the prince, and the other is to make the concubine's position more favored.
But Yuwenhao is the crown prince, and the crown prince regards other concubines as his mother, which has never happened before.
King Ji was caught off guard and subconsciously looked at King An, who was leisurely on the side, and his teeth were bitten out. No wonder Prince An's mansion was not moving at all. He must have known about this.
Facing his father's cold eyes, he struggled to death, "The Queen of Concubine Xian is still giving birth, how can the prince recognize others as his mother?"
If no one answered his words, the jade book of treasures was recorded, then the matter was already implemented, not proposed for discussion. Since it was implemented, it would not be changed. If it continues to discuss, it will only expose more other thoughts.
King Ji's heart was as cold as water and was so panicked, especially when facing his father's cold eyes, he seemed to see his future darkness.
The happiest thing is Concubine De's father and brother. After resigning from the court, General Ru immediately rode his horse back home and made the good news public in the clan.
The decree was soon followed. The head of the family, who was very proud, wanted to send a post to entertain relatives and friends to celebrate the incident.
Now that the Ru family has become the prince's foreign family, and Concubine De was promoted to the imperial concubine. When the prince ascended the throne in the future, then the Ru family will have an empress dowager. This is the major event that will bring honor to the ancestors.
Moreover, the princess is about to marry the Leng family. The Leng family is a wealthy businessman in the world. Oh my God, what luck has the Ru family gone?
Even the men in the Ru family thought it was a dream, and the women in the Ru family had already begun to prepare to add makeup to the princess.
Compared to the joyfulness of the Ru family, the Chu Prince's Mansion seems very lonely and deserted.
It’s not that no one came to visit. In fact, after not deposed the prince, many people came to worship their old age. However, Yuan Qingling ordered people to close the door and refuse any visits.
Yuwenhao did not attend court on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but he returned to Jingzhao Mansion.
He was busy from morning to midnight before coming back. Yuan Qingling was waiting for him, so he immediately went to wash and then went to bed.
He fell asleep quickly, and his breathing was very even after a while. Yuan Qingling called him softly, but he didn't answer, as if he was really asleep.
Yuan Qingling knew that he was not able to fall asleep so quickly, but since he chose to escape, she could not force him.
After she fell asleep, Yu Wenhao slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at the top of the tent with empty eyes, and his thoughts were like a sea of thoughts in his mind, and he could not calm down for a moment.
Today, Mr. Su went to the yamen to find him and said that the Su family has almost gone, only a few people stayed in the capital, and the house has to be sold for a share. As for those who had an official position, they have already submitted their resignation to the Ministry of Personnel.
