The curtain of the carriage was opened violently, and Xiao Shan, who was in disguise, looked pale and frightened in the carriage!
What he still doesn't understand until now is that Xie Xun is clearly teasing him!
I thought he was a dignified left minister, conceited and aloof. He had never been teased like this before. He had an angry expression on his face, and he almost gritted his teeth when he looked at Xie Xun.
He was actually teased by Xie Xun like a cat chasing a mouse!
"The waves of people in the city just now were also sent by you to tease me, weren't they?! You little brat! You really went too far!"
When Xie Xun heard this, his face became cold, but he no longer wanted to talk to him anymore.
He waved his hand, and ten secret guards immediately appeared and surrounded Xiao Shan's carriage. While Xiao Shan was yelling and cursing, the secret guards took control of the master and servant.
Xie Xun frowned, glanced at Xiao Shan, and ordered, "Stop his mouth and talk crazy. Don't dirty the princess's ears."
The secret guard nodded, and the next second, Xiao Shan's acupuncture points were tapped, and he could no longer say a complete sentence.
Xie Xun originally planned to tell the world about Xiao Shan's crimes three days later, but because he escaped without permission that night, Xie Xun was caught, so the next day he planned to use the correspondence he received from the Japanese prince to reveal the truth.
Arriving in front of the courtiers.
At this point, the evidence of the crimes of the fourth prince Xie Yang and the left prime minister Xiao Shan have been completely exposed.
Over the years, these two men have disrupted the government, corrupted the law, and taken countless lives on their hands. Not to mention these, they are suspected of poisoning the late emperor and having connections with foreign countries!
Each of these crimes is enough to kill these two people. Listing them one by one will shock all the civil and military officials!
At the same time, Xie Xun also came up with a list of people who had close contact with Xie Yang and Xiao Shan. These people were all involved in colluding with these two people and committing illegal things. They were all arrested and sent to the sky prison. They should be tried.
Judgment, kill those who deserve to be killed!
In the end, Xie Yang, Xiao Shan and more than a dozen officials under their command were sentenced to execution.
And Xie Xun also discussed with Qin Rushuang before, and did not involve his family.
When Princess Lin heard the news, she didn't even look at Xie Yang. She took the child born in an extramarital affair to a separate courtyard that night, never wanting to set foot in Kyoto again.
As soon as Xie Xun's decision came out, there was a lot of controversy in the court.
Some people think that Xie Xun did not bring harm to his family, which was a sign of kindness. Therefore, Qi was lucky to have such a kind emperor;
Some people think that Xie Xun's move is suspected of being a woman, and they are afraid that he will become an indecisive emperor in the future.
Of course, more people strongly agree with Xie Xun's approach, believing that his move took into account many factors, was relaxed and moderate, and was not too cruel because he was a military commander in the past.
Of course, everything in the court was a headache for Xie Xun and had nothing to do with Qin Rushuang.
Qin Rushuang has been staying in the harem these days, accompanying Linbao. From time to time, she listened to Xie Xun talk about things in the court, but she just laughed it off without expressing her opinion.
…
With the conclusion of the case between the fourth prince Xie Yang and Zuo Xiang Xiaoshan, the matter of Xie Xun's ascension to the throne was put back on the agenda. The Ministry of Rites and the Qin Tian Jian jointly set a date.
Xie Xun took the set date and asked Qin Rushuang what he meant.
Qin Rushuang glanced at it and said lightly, "Since it's a day for the Ministry of Rites and the Qin Tianjian to watch together, it's naturally a good thing."
Xie Xun nodded, and then took out another thing, which was the regulations for the Queen's canonization ceremony after she ascended the throne.
Qin Rushuang took it and looked at it. They were all ordinary regulations. The people in the Ministry of Etiquette were determined to please her and wanted to make it more grand. However, she had already hammered it out in advance. Everything should be done in accordance with the regulations and must not go beyond the rules.
Seeing that Qin Rushuang had no opinion on this matter, Xie Xun discussed with Qin Rushuang again, "I'm wondering whether to establish the crown prince first."
Qin Rushuang showed a surprised expression and looked at Xie Xun.
Xie Xun has not yet ascended the throne, and he is in his prime. Although he only has one child, Linbao, he will definitely have many heirs in the future. Why did he suddenly mention the establishment of a crown prince?
Qin Rushuang really couldn't think of a reason why Xie Xun did this. If she had to tell her, she could only think that Xie Xun still wanted to compensate her.
So he said to Xie Xun, "Although I have high hopes for Linbao, I am not a person who doesn't care about priorities. Linbao is only over a year old now, and his character is still unclear. The matter of establishing a heir is related to the foundation of the country. How can this be done?"
Hasty? If he really has such virtue and talent in the future, I will naturally be happy if the prince wants to appoint him. But if he is a straw bag in the future, won't this great country be destroyed in his hands? "
Xie Xun stood up, hugged Qin Rushuang from behind, and whispered in her ear: "Linbao is my and your child. How can it be different? He will definitely be a wise king in the future."
Qin Rushuang was still the head of Yao, "Forget it, Your Majesty, these are troubled times. In addition, the throne is overlapping and the domestic situation is unstable. The matter of establishing a crown prince should be discussed later. Besides, I know that Your Majesty likes Linbao, so I want to
He was appointed as the crown prince, but has the prince ever thought about the dangerous future that awaits Linbao when he occupies the position of the East Palace at a young age? If he has a half-brother in the future, shouldn't he regard him as a thorn in his side?
A thorn in the flesh?"
Xie Xun thought in his heart, even if there are other brothers in the future, they will be the children of the two of us, and fratricide will never happen. However, after thinking about it, the two of them have not been close to each other until now, so saying this is too much.
It was too early, so I didn’t say it clearly.
He let go of Qin Rushuang and said in a low voice, "You should think carefully. If you don't want to make him the prince now, then let's talk about it later. By the way, you may be busy these days to prepare for the enthronement. If you
If you feel bored, you can go to the General's Mansion to see Mrs. Qin, or you can go to Qian Ertong's mansion to chat with Qingzhi."
Qin Rushuang nodded and agreed.
But there is another person who has the same idea as Xie Xun, and that is the imperial concubine.
After the death of Emperor Qi, all the concubines with children in the harem were kept, and those without children were buried. Although it sounds pitiful, this is a royal rule and no one can say anything.
And because Xie Xun was about to ascend the throne, the imperial concubine had a high status.
Now that Qin Rushuang has not been appointed as the queen, all the rights in the Sixth Palace are concentrated in the hands of the noble concubine.
That afternoon, the imperial concubine sent her nanny Yinghong to convey a message, saying that Xie Xun was busy with official duties these days, and Qin Rushuang had not been canonized as queen yet, so she did not need to abide by those rigid rules. If she felt bored, she could leave the palace.
Play.
Qin Rushuang didn't think too much, thinking that the green branches were getting older and that it was her first child, so she handed the Linbao to the wet nurse and left the palace with a little palace maid beside her.
This little maid was assigned by Xie Xun to Qin Rushuang after she came to the palace. She is young but very loyal.
She had not been out of the palace for a long time. She followed Qin Rushuang and looked around curiously. She was also afraid that Qin Rushuang would blame her, so she seemed a little cautious.
Seeing her like this, Qin Rushuang opened the curtain on one side of the carriage and said with a smile: "You can see what you want to see. If you are interested, I can stop the carriage and let you go down and have a look."
The little palace maid quickly lowered her head and said, "No, no, I have been out of the palace before. I kept looking outside, but I just felt a little strange."
Qin Rushuang raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
The little maid pointed to a gorgeous carriage in the distance and said, "Is there something going on in the palace today? How come I saw so many ceremoniously dressed carriages coming from the opposite direction to us? They looked like
I want to go to the palace."
Qin Rushuang thought for a moment, and thought that the imperial concubine suddenly asked her if she wanted to leave the palace today, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
