Chapter 2597: Adopting the Posthumous Son of Ten Thousand People
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. An Tong frowned and said in a deep voice: "Ten thousand people, how long have you been pregnant?"
Ten Thousand People whispered: "It has been more than a month since I was conceived before the late Emperor went to Qinghe. Originally, when the late Emperor came back this time, I wanted to tell him this happy event, but I never thought about it, never thought...
…”
At this point, thousands of people lowered their heads and began to sob softly. They were actually choked and unable to speak.
An Tong sighed and waved his hand: "You go down first, we will discuss this matter first."
Cui Hong winked at Cui Hao. Cui Hao helped Wan Wan retreat to the car far away, while An Tong gritted his teeth: "This child is really troublesome. If he is a son, I'm afraid he will
This is a major scandal for the late emperor. After all, he was killed by his traitor son, and his concubine has a posthumous son. I am afraid that it will pose a threat to the crown prince's throne in the future. Moreover, thousands of people know too many secrets about this time. I
I think it would be best to follow the Tuoba tribe’s old practice and let him be buried for the late emperor, so that everything can be settled.”
Cui Hong frowned: "This is too cruel. After all, thousands of people have worked hard to serve His Majesty these years, and now her identity is also revealed. She is the daughter of Fan Yanglu's family. The late emperor kept her, although
It was just a benevolent thought at the time, but now in the eyes of outsiders, especially the Han people, it is also a gesture to improve the status of the Han people. This time, Tuoba Shao's rebellion was put down, and thousands of people still made great contributions. All the ministries present at the time
Your Majesty has seen this, and instead of giving me a reward, he was buried in the grave. I am afraid that it is difficult to appease the people. We cannot rule out the possibility that Tuoba Shao’s remnant party will continue to spread rumors, saying that ten thousand people were forced by us to give false testimony, and were eventually killed and silenced."
An Tong sighed: "It would be fine if she was the only one, but the most troublesome thing is that she is pregnant now, and she is still the flesh and blood left by the late emperor. If we send her out of the palace and give birth to a child, I am afraid there will be criticism, saying that someone
The filth and chaos in the harem will damage the reputation of the late emperor..."
Tuoba Si suddenly said: "I agree with Mr. An. Ten thousand people should not be released from the palace in this situation. Even if it is out of the need to protect her, this time she testified on the spot about He Lanmin's mother and son's conspiracy, and also brought the black robe to the throne."
The hidden old ghost has been dug out, and I'm afraid that when the black robe held her hostage, he would also know that she has the blood of the late emperor."
An Tong's expression changed, and he nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, Hei Pao is a very powerful guy. Once he knows about this, he will definitely take advantage of it. This was the case with the late emperor when his father was the prince.
He died in order to defend his father. He was also a posthumous son. In the end, this posthumous son succeeded in returning to the country and achieved great achievements. The child in the bellies of these thousands of people..."
Cui Hong sighed: "Wanwan didn't say it just now, but Ahao told me later that when the black robe threatened her, he said that even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the child in your belly. Originally,
According to He Lanmin's intention, he wanted to kill ten thousand people, but Heipao insisted on sparing her life. I think he also wanted her to give birth to this child to form a check and balance on Tuoba Shao in the future. After all, Heipao and
He Lanmin is afraid that this is just a temporary conspiracy, everyone has their own plans."
Tuoba Si was silent for a moment and then said: "It seems that there is only one solution to this matter. If we let ten thousand people die for the late emperor, there will be a lot of troubles, not to mention that it will be difficult to convince the people morally and will fall into the trap. Moreover, the late emperor is still there
God has a spirit, I'm afraid he will be uneasy. After all, this child is his posthumous son. Back then, the late emperor conquered the world as a posthumous son. Maybe it was God's will that allowed him to keep this one."
An Tong's expression changed: "Your Majesty, you..."
Tuoba Si said in a deep voice: "This may be the last thing I can do for the late emperor. According to the custom of the grassland, the new master who succeeds will inherit the tradition of other concubines of the old leader. This has been the case since the Xiongnu.
Our Tuoba clan also has this old custom in Xianbei. If the concubines are not sent back, they will all become my concubines, Master An, right?"
An Tong sighed: "That was the rule in the grasslands, but now that the Wei Dynasty has entered the Central Plains, this old custom is an act of corruption and corruption in the eyes of the Han people. Mr. Baima, am I right?"
Cui Hong nodded: "That's true. The Han people regard this kind of stepmother's stepmother as a great rebellion. According to our customs, as a son, he should treat his stepmother like his own mother. However, in any case,
She has a special status. She only serves the late emperor as a slave and has no status. Strictly speaking, she is not considered a concubine. More importantly, she is pregnant. If she gives birth to a child like this, I am afraid it will cause criticism.
Uninformed people would still think that she had an affair with an outsider and betrayed the late emperor, which also greatly damaged the late emperor's reputation. Therefore, it is the lesser of two evils. I agree with the prince's approach and can continue to marry her in name.
She lives separately, and the children she gives birth to are bastards in the name of the prince's heirs, but I don't know whether the prince will accept it or not."
An Tong's face changed: "It's ridiculous. The prince let go of his own son. He accepts a son who is actually his younger brother and raises him as a son. This is too..."
Tuoba Si sighed: "Actually, when the late emperor passed away, he was just over forty. I am now in my early twenties and have no concubine. My current son is about the same as this younger brother. There is not much difference. And we are on the grassland.
, has always ruled the roost with strength, and a son who is too young cannot hold on to a huge family business. We can see clearly what happened this time. The adults in various ministries have heavy troops and can threaten the imperial power at any time. If now they fully copy the pattern of inheritance by the Han people's legitimate sons
, I'm just afraid that if I make a mistake here, Da Wei will fall into a place of no return. I don't know how long my son will have to wait, but if this child is a boy, at least there will be more insurance. Tuoba Shao is dead.
, I have no other younger brother, Mr. An, do you understand what I mean?"
An Tong gritted his teeth: "Since the prince has decided, I have nothing to say. It's just that this matter is related to the country and should be top secret. Mr. Cui, except for Mr. Hao, I don't want anyone to know this secret. Once it happens,
If it is leaked, I am afraid that the Wei Dynasty will fall into a place of eternal disaster!"
Cui Hong said seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. An, except for the five of us, no one else will know about this matter. Even if he dies, he will definitely rot in his stomach."
Tuoba Si nodded, looked at Cui Hong, and said, "Has Wanwan ever said what to name this child? Or, when the late emperor favored her before, did he say what to name him in case she was pregnant with a child?
