Chapter 122 He is the first emperor to be deposed in Xiling
When the stalemate continued, another palace maid hurried in from outside.
The Queen Mother was having nowhere to spread her anger. Seeing this, she shouted angrily: "What are you doing in such a hurry? Get out!"
When the palace maid saw this, she didn't dare to say anything. She bowed tremblingly and fell to the ground without saying anything.
The Queen Mother was even more furious and scolded: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly!"
"Yes, yes..." The palace maid knelt under Wei Siyun, and when she looked up, she saw the upright figure of the Crown Prince kneeling down.
In the past two days, there were people kneeling everywhere in the palace. They were the only ones who knew that the prince wanted to resign.
The courtiers outside were all kneeling, begging the Queen Mother not to agree to the Prince's foolish request.
Of course they don't want it either.
There is enough chaos in the palace. If the prince leaves at this time, the entire palace will be in chaos.
The queen's relatives have always been cruel and ruthless in their dealings.
Many of the accusations in the palace were related to the queen.
Although His Highness the Crown Prince has been criticized before, being called a fool and being arrogant, the situation in which the Crown Prince has been in power for more than half a year has been seen clearly.
How had he ever mistreated the title of Prince?
Now that he is being forced to resign from his post, it shows how far the Holy One has pushed people to?!
No wonder...no wonder the courtiers were dissatisfied and knelt outside Zhaoning Hall to 'threate'.
The palace maid knelt tremblingly, thinking a lot.
The nun next to the Queen Mother had never seen such a stupid palace maid. Before the Queen Mother was completely angered and committed suicide to vent her anger, she spoke first: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly."
"Yes, the Queen Mother, Mr. Hong from the Yushitai said that he received many local reports today, all of which talked about the affairs of His Highness the Crown Prince. He is extremely urgent and hopes to see you."
place?
Even the local government knew about this and wanted to come to her to intercede with the prince??
The Queen Mother squeezed the handle tightly, thinking that Wei Siyun was really a good trick.
He used this trick of holding the emperor hostage to order the princes, but he actually used it clearly on himself!
"What did Hongxie say?!"
The palace maid trembled and repeated everything she heard: "Master Hong said that at the beginning of spring this year, the prince issued a local decree to encourage people to use innovative agricultural products to deduct taxes. In the summer harvest that just passed, the results doubled, and the people were all convinced.
The prince is so grateful. When they heard the news that the prince was resigning, they all went to the local officials' offices to make a fuss, saying that the prince was considerate and caring for the people, comparing, comparing, comparing to the Holy One..."
Her voice became softer and quieter.
In the end, I couldn't speak any more and kowtowed again.
Who doesn’t know what the unfinished words mean?
During Wei Lin's reign, taxes were heavy and heavy. Xiling was not a fertile land, so the people inevitably had some objections to the heavy taxes every year.
And Wei Siyun is so smart, the first thing he does when he takes power is to find a way out for the people.
Now after seven or eight months, the people naturally rely heavily on him.
The Queen Mother looked at Wei Siyun with a sneer: "You are planning for a rainy day."
"My grandson just knows that if you seek your position, water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it."
Yes, Wei Lin has not understood this truth for twenty years.
No wonder people are thinking about Wei Siyun.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes deeply.
Didn't she know that Wei Siyun was more suitable than Wei Lin? After all, she was just an outsider in the Wei family.
But she is asked to be the bad guy!
She was just a little unwilling. Many years ago, her other son was defeated without Xiao Erjie's support. Many years later, her only remaining son was also forced to die by Xiao Erjie's son.
Although these two are still father and son.
Wei Siyun had no intention of getting up. He lowered his head and stared at the empty space in front of his knees.
Wei Wei was in a trance and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed slightly, feeling helpless and unable to find any other solution: "Get up, the Ai family should have accepted their fate long ago. They gave the emperor twenty years of opportunities, but he was incompetent."
The words "incompetent" fell to the ground, and the silence in the hall could hear a silver needle drop to the ground.
Everyone held their breath and dared not speak.
When Wei Siyun raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, there was no joy in his eyes as he had achieved his goal.
This shocked the Queen Mother.
"The Aijia have agreed to do what you want, but why do you still seem unhappy?"
Wei Siyun said nothing, but patted the non-existent dust on the hem of his robe when he stood up: "If I had a choice, I would rather I had never been born in the palace."
In just twenty-four years, he was used and exploited, and finally decided to force the Queen Mother to do something. After that, he concluded that he did not want to endure being manipulated, so he just wanted to climb to a high position.
The palace maid just now said that people were begging for mercy one after another, but he didn't think he had done much.
It is worthy of the people's pleading for this.
And...and He Yunchu.
"When you enjoy the privilege of being a prince, you must also bear the responsibilities of a prince." The Queen Mother looked at him and said: "In the past half month, your search for a child has spread throughout the country, so your cousin should not be stubborn.
It makes the royal family lose face, how will it end in the end?"
Wei Siyun just listened without saying a word.
"If you really like her, you can marry her, but she can't be a concubine. The person who will inherit the throne of the queen in the future must not come from a brothel!"
Wei Siyun smiled coldly: "Who do you want?"
"Your father has granted you a marriage. Anping's younger brother has military exploits and will be helpful to you when you succeed to the throne. Why don't you just go ahead and get married?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Why not? Her title of princess is not worthy of yours?"
Wei Siyun pursed his lips tightly, but he did not intend to talk about Lin Qingning in front of the Queen Mother. He only said: "My wife can only be He Yunchu. I have decided on this one."
"Are you crazy?" The Queen Mother couldn't believe it: "You mean you won't accept concubines in the future? What about the heir?"
"So when the Queen Mother is fasting and chanting Buddha's name, she prays more for her grandson, so that her grandson can find the child as soon as possible. There are not many heirs in the royal family, and you know that most of them will not be able to escape from killing each other."
The Queen Mother was refuted by him irrefutably.
But--
How can I find the child who has been missing for more than half a month?
There are so many people in the vast world like ants, how easy is it?
She was speechless, her energy for the day had been exhausted, she waved her hand: "Retreat, the Ai family is exhausted."
That night, a double imperial edict stamped with the Queen Mother's Yi Xi and the Emperor's Jade Seal was delivered to the East Palace.
The imperial edict bluntly states that the emperor has been ill for a long time, and now he is unconscious and unaware of court affairs. He is really unfit for the important responsibilities of the emperor. He should relinquish his power and become the supreme emperor.
However, the prince was virtuous, obedient, and governed well. He was granted the title of emperor by the Queen Mother's decree and was reviewed by the six ministries, and assumed the imperial power.
So far, everything about Wei Lin has been written heavily in the history books.
He was the first emperor to be deposed in Xiling.
Wei Siyun spent the whole night looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the East Palace with his hands behind his back. When the morning light shone brightly, he turned around and walked out of the palace gate.
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
Cai Bing asked worriedly.
"Looking for Yunchu."
"But--"
Before Cai Bing finished speaking, even he understood clearly that His Highness was seeking the throne by taking advantage of the situation, using the guise of the young prince.
How could Miss Seven not see it? This chapter has been completed!
