old friends return

"Follow the sky to carry the goods, the emperor decreed:

Prince Cheng Mu's character is unprovoked, he doesn't care about the destiny, and his aptitude is dull.Without being summoned, you are not allowed to enter the palace. "

As soon as the imperial decree was issued, it immediately caused an uproar.

This is the first imperial decree in so many years to abolish the crown prince after the emperor's death. Not only that, but he was also demoted to prince, and he was not even allowed to enter the capital.

The reason for abolishing the prince is even more absurd.

Even though Cheng Muzhi expected to be deposed, he was really stunned for a while before saying in a deep voice: "My son is in command, and I will obey my father's holy will."

The following ministers can no longer kneel. Although the party disputes have not been so obvious for so many years, it is only on the surface. Now that Cheng Muzhi's situation is over, once Cheng Muze ascends the throne, he will definitely attack them. A dead end, if you don't turn now, when will you wait?

It's a pity that Su Wenquan didn't give them this chance at all.

He picked up another imperial edict, which was the edict left by Emperor Hengde.

"It has been twenty years since I ascended the throne. The sea, the rivers are clear, and the world is peaceful. The people are safe, the officials are clear, and the monarch and ministers are in harmony. The current prince, Cheng Muze, has a noble character. He is even more respectful than me. His aspirations cannot be taken away by his strength. Move his heart. I want to pass on the crown prince Cheng Muze, and all the princes should work together to win the new king. The important ministers should support the prime minister wholeheartedly and help the country together. This is my honor."

This is an imperial decree issued to everyone.It doesn't matter whether the content is true or not, the information revealed in it is enough.

"The minister (minister) leads the decree."

The grand scholar of Diange finally said: "I don't know why the emperor wants to abolish the prince? The prince has made some achievements in politics these years. The Cangzhou flood was also handled properly before, which greatly defeated the power of the Japanese country. Besides, character Where do you start with no reason?"

Another minister also said: "Da Zhou has always established a heir but not an elder. If the crown prince is abolished, why doesn't the emperor pass on the throne to His Highness the second prince? The second prince has a lot of military exploits and has been guarding the border for many years. I'm afraid it will be even worse." Convincing."

Yan Qi, who had never opened his mouth, retorted: "Oh, the prince has no reason for his character. The first emperor has always considered his marriage but he has never married a concubine. How can the former emperor feel at ease when he has a family and a career?"

For a while, Xuanwu's sect was full of quarrels.

But Cheng Muzhi got up, took off the filial piety clothes he was wearing, threw the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant on the ground, turned to the ministers who were arguing, and said, "Thank you for your love from the ministers, but the hall itself is not qualified enough. Commander, I have let you down."

"His Royal Highness...you!" A few other ministers spoke, and Cheng Muze, who had been silent by the side, took the imperial decree with a smile on his face, "If all the lovers still have objections, why don't you wait until tomorrow to go to court? Take it easy with me, okay?"

The smile on his face is real, and the chill in his tone is not fake, "If you still have any doubts about the late emperor's will, I don't mind sending you to meet the late emperor in person to ask him about it face to face. .”

He has already placed himself in the position of emperor.

The crowd fell silent.

No one wants to be buried with them.

He will not go to court tomorrow. Tomorrow is the first day of national mourning, and the enthronement ceremony will be held three days later. Cheng Muze's words blocked all the dissatisfaction from everyone.

When Cheng Muzhi left, Cheng Muxing was with him, and the positions of the two were obvious enough.

When Liu Qingyan came out of the side hall, he only saw the backs of the two of them.Cheng Muxing was still wearing filial piety clothes, while Cheng Muzhi had already taken off all the outer clothes, leaving the original bright yellow prince's court clothes.

It is particularly bright in this white.

It's just that very few people have noticed.The courtiers were thinking whether they should disarm and return to the fields to escape the catastrophe, or stay with Cheng Muze according to the wind.

Yan Qi looked at Hui Shanyuan, smiled, and silently said three words: "I won."

Hui Shanyuan lowered his head, but there was no big disturbance in his heart.

Cheng Muze still has a lot of things to do now, and he can't take care of other things for a while. Emperor Hengde's funeral will continue step by step, and no matter how turbulent the government is, it won't affect him too much.

What's more, there is still Yan Huiqian's affairs to deal with. After Li Xin, he will establish his prince, change the year name, implement new policies, and the Great Zhou will soon, no, it will already be his world.

But it was said that Cheng Muzhi and Cheng Muxing had left the palace, and then stopped. Cheng Muxing asked him, "Are you going to Qizhou?"

"Naturally, no." Cheng Muzhi smiled, "Although Qizhou is not far from Shengjing, it's inconvenient to do things. If I go to Qizhou, won't it just follow Cheng Muze's mind?"

"Then you..." Cheng Muxing frowned, "I really didn't expect Father Father to..."

Cheng Muzhi shook his head, "Elder brother, don't worry about me. Elder brother, let's go back home to rest first. Don't let the second emperor's wife worry about you. There are some things that need to be discussed in the long run."

Cheng Muxing looked at Liu Qingyan who was walking not far away, and finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Isn't he Yan Qing?"

Cheng Muzhi said: "It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, as long as it is someone I can trust."

Seeing this, Cheng Muxing stopped talking, stared at Liu Qingyan for a while and said to him, "You should go back earlier."

Liu Qingyan walked to his side, and the two of them were silent all the way until they reached a deserted alley, then Liu Qingyan relaxed and buried herself in Cheng Muzhi's chest.

Cheng Muzhi hugged him, put his head on his shoulder, and slowly patted his back, "It will take some time before I can completely settle down."

Liu Qingyan pawed at his clothes, tears rolled down uncontrollably, but she still wanted to lift her head to find his lips, hot tears touched Cheng Muzhi's dry lips, causing Cheng Muzhi's heart to prick like a needle pain.

Liu Qingyan said in a low voice: "I killed him..."

"I took revenge...Mu Zhi, I was charged with the crime of regicide...Mu Zhi...I killed your father..."

He called Cheng Muzhi's name over and over again, wiped his lips aimlessly on his face, and kept crying, as if he wanted to cry out all the emotions he had endured for so many years.

Cheng Muzhi held him in his arms with eyes wide open, and kissed the hair on the top of his head to calm him down, "It's okay, Ah Yan, you didn't do anything wrong, you didn't do anything wrong, and I won't blame you... all of this All the Ah Yan he deserves...my Ah Yan..."

Liu Qingyan cried so much that he almost passed out, his heart ached, his whole body began to feel cold again, the cold poison attack was more frequent than before, and his lips began to turn pale again.

Cheng Muzhi carried him back to Anling.

The author has something to say:

Both Cheng Muzhi and Liu Qingyan were depressed, and today was a complete breaking point.
