Chapter 541 There’s another posthumous decree?
Jade fruit difficult to look at the kneeling in front of their own Consort Xu, she has already sidestepped to avoid, but Consort Xu must stare at her salute, she can only explain in a low voice, “It is not that the slave girl is not willing to help you go in to report, but the Empress Dowager has not slept well in the last couple of days, just Marquis Yan came to the palace to visit, and persuaded the Empress Dowager to use a bit of food, will be mixed with the tranquility of the drug in the soup to teach the Empress Dowager to take now just sleep! The Empress Dowager took now just asleep! Your Highness also knows that the Empress Dowager is already very old, if we don’t let her rest now, she won’t be able to hold out much longer.”
“At that time, yet who else will shelter His Highness the King of Shu and you?”
“Concubine know, concubine know!” Imperial Consort Xu sobbed lowly, saying with some urgency and despair, “But the Empress just went to look for my concubine, and the meaning of her words was that she didn’t agree with the King of Shu’s succession, and that she must support him to fight with the Su family for the throne! Aunt Yu Guo, you said that now my concubine can beg the Empress Dowager in addition to who else?”
Although Empress Su, who was in the same palace as her, certainly hoped that the King of Shu would not get involved in the water but Dowager Consort Xu’s purpose was to keep her son away from right and wrong, so how could she take the initiative to get in front of the King of Su’s biological mother?
She did have no choice but to come and beg the Dowager Empress.
“What did the former princes say?” Yu Guo’s heart sank at the words, before when she helped the Dowager Empress draw up the decree, she knew that after the Dowager Empress went down with this decree, those who did not want King Su to ascend to the throne would surely do everything in their power to refute it!
Because although Emperor Duanhua had the concubine Lu Hehao as his brother in addition to King Shu, it was expected that not many people wished to establish Lu Hehao.
The reason was simple, he was older than the King of Shu, he had an extremely large mind, and he was not easy to control!
Most importantly, judging from his actions of abandoning his wife and young son, he was so coldhearted that he belonged to the category of people who were displeased even in the royal family!
Even the Duanhua Emperor, who was poorly evaluated and personally lost his throne, was still the crown prince back then, but in order to protect his young son, he stood up in front of the runaway tiger!
And how did Emperor Duanhua treat the meritorious ministers who supported him?
The grave soil of Lu Yicheng’s family is not yet dry!
Not to mention Lu Hakho?
So unless they were in favor of King Su, they would all choose King Shu.
“I don’t know.” Imperial Concubine Xu said with sorrow and indignation, “I live in the palace and never ask about the outside world but where do I know these rights and wrongs?”
Yu Guo sighed and went forward to help her, “Your Highness, the Dowager Consort, get up first! You sit here and eat some tea to warm your body.”
See Xu Tai Fei refused, pursed her lips, bent down and whispered, “Even if you go in now to disturb the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager will certainly also want to ask the ideas and practices of the former dynastic princes, but you don’t ask the world don’t know, then it can only be the slave girl to inquire! You rest for a while, allow the slave girl to go to inquire about the news, so then go in to report to the Empress Dowager, also avoid delay work is not it?”
Tai Consort Xu felt that what she said made sense, and only then did she stagger up on her assistance, saying gratefully, “Thank you, Auntie!”
But I do not know that the jade fruit recruited two small palace maid to serve her, looked to be out to the front, in fact, walked to the place where Xu Taifei can not see, followed by a turn in the footsteps, a detour back to the Empress Dowager’s chambers, from a small door in order to facilitate the Empress Dowager to go to the back of the temple to see the flowers into the interior, but the Empress Dowager to see the temple is sitting upright, sideburns whole Yan, which has a little bit of the meaning of resettlement?
And the dowager empress dowager’s body, is sitting in a gorgeous dress gold crown man, cultivated eyebrows phoenix eyes, eyes cold like a star, it is Yan Hou Jian Xu Bai.
The two grandchildren had been whispering about things and were slightly surprised to see Jade Fruit come in through the small door, “What’s wrong?”
“Xu daffy just had to see the Queen, slave girl can’t stop, can only coax her to say, first go to the front to inquire about all the public for His Highness the King of Shu out of the succession of the matter of the opinion, and then come to report on her behalf.” Yu Guo came up to blessed, whispered, “slave girl look at Xu Tai Fei’s appearance, is really desperate.”
“It’s not her fault!” The Empress Dowager sniffed, sighed, and said, “If I were her, and my only son had fallen victim to this kind of calamity, I would definitely have to run around on behalf of the child as well!”
Yu Guo was worried, “I’m just afraid that the Wei family won’t let it go!”
“These families of theirs, but where there is a willingness to calm down a bit, the royal family would not be in such a mess now!” Empress Dowager gave a cold laugh, did not say the matter of King Shu again, but turned to Jian Xubai, warmly said, “A Xu you continue to say, the Su family really has a method to let King Su enter the imperial capital peacefully, appear in the court?”
Jian Xu Bai nodded and said, “Su Zhi Yong assured me so, but he didn’t say what exactly the method was!”
“Now that the left side of the imperial capital is being watched by the forbidden army, for him to be able to have this certainty is no more than convincing the He family, what other method could it be?” The Empress Dowager snorted and said, “Otherwise, why would he give up a He Lou Duhan to assassinate the Crown Prince?”
This question is not quite a good interface, after all, Jian Xubai also wants King Su to ascend the throne.
He mused before vaguely saying, “It’s also been some time since His Majesty issued the sinful edict, and during this period of time, there’s been some trepidation in the neighborhood.”
“The candidate for the new ruler really can’t be delayed any longer!” The Empress Dowager sighed and said, “In this current situation, who else can I choose but to support King Su? At least this is a child with good qualifications and a healthy body! Just … as Yu Guo said just now, will the Wei family admit defeat just because the crown prince was assassinated? Su Zhi Yong told you that he’s certain that King Su will appear in the court, yet He Wen Qiong hasn’t taken a stand yet, so it’s clear that he’s at best letting some water out of the fire, and doesn’t have the intention of openly supporting King Su at all!”
“It can be seen that He Wenqiong has not had no hesitation in his heart!”
“Things like the battle for the throne, no one can say until the dust settles now that Su Zhiyong was able to convince He Wenqiong, who knows if the Wei family will pull him back again in the future? At that time, even if King Su appears in the courtroom, he may not be able to finalize the situation!”
Wei family ancestry is not worse than the Su family, the Su family can have He Lou Duhan this killer, Wei family does not have the bottom of the box means?
I can’t say when I’ll return the favor to King Su.
Jian Xu Bai mused, ”In fact, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s injuries are no longer suitable to assume the throne, such as His Royal Highness the King of Shu and others are not as suitable as His Royal Highness the King of Suk. This is something everyone knows. So the biggest problem is that His Highness King Su was passed out by the late emperor himself!”
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager’s face also clouded over, and only after a long time did she say, “This problem of the name, indeed, cannot be solved without a solution …”
The system of Dare is one of law over blood.
In other words, the heir parent is superior to the parent in the case of a descendant who has passed on.
Although everyone knew that King Su was the first son of Emperor Xianjia, his name was now Emperor Xianjia’s nephew.
Then if he oversteps Emperor Xianjia’s sons to inherit the throne, it is nephews to inherit the position of uncle such an example once opened, can be imagined, the future of the royal family, will certainly be buried from now on hidden dangers!
Because King Su, the nephew of the emperor, could succeed the throne over the emperor’s own sons, why not the other nephews?
“That’s why when Crown Princess Xu begged me to succeed King Shu to Chen, I agreed.” The Empress Dowager rubbed her brow and said with some fatigue, “The late Emperor now has only three heirs in his name, Duanhua, Lu Hehao, and King Shu.”
“Lu Hehao treats his wife and children as outcasts, and even plotted to murder his first aunt and father, so there is no place for him to stand in heart and character!”
“As long as the King of Shu is out of the succession, the King of Su is barely justified in assuming the throne!”
“It’s just that …” the Dowager Empress said, and stopped her mouth with some difficulty.
Jian Xubai will pick up the conversation, “It’s just that Lu Hehao is in the end the son of the late emperoreven if King Shu succeeds him, the late emperor will still have a son at his knee in addition to his majesty. If King Su crosses over and ascends to the throne, then if a side branch wants to usurp the throne in the future, they can also weave a crime and frame the emperor’s son!”
In short, this is a bad opening.
The Empress Dowager sighed, “That’s exactly the point!”
She said with a headache, “This problem, on Su Zhiyong’s side, is there any countermeasure?”
“He said a thing, just I think …” Jane Void White showed hesitation, “I think it is not quite appropriate.”
The Empress Dowager was surprised, “What is inappropriate?”
“He said that when the fifth sister was betrothed to His Highness the King of Su, because the pair of ancient hairpins handed down from the previous dynasty that were rewarded to the fifth sister by her royal uncle broke, the second aunt thought it was ominous, and she had gone to the palace for this reason to meet with her royal uncle and had a long and secret talk.” Jian Xu Bai said here paused before continuing, “At that time, everyone thought that the second aunt had the idea of withdrawing from the marriage, but under the persuasion of the royal uncle, in the end, still dispelled this idea!”
The Empress Dowager seemed to have a premonition of something and subconsciously sat upright, “Speak on!”
“In fact, the second aunt at that time to withdraw from the marriage of the attitude is very firm, and even have to tear the face with imperial uncle’s posture!” Jian Xubai complex expression said, “Later, the imperial uncle could not argue with the second aunty, gave the second aunty … a holy decree!”
“Holy decree?!” The Dowager Empress and Jade Fruit exchanged a startled look and asked in unison, “What is the content of the holy decree?”
“No!” Jian Xubai shook his head, explaining, “There is nothing on the imperial decreebecause, the royal uncle did not know what trouble His Highness, the King of Su, would meet in the future, so he only used the imperial decree with a good jade seal and other formalities, made a secret decree file, and gave the booklet of the file to his beloved to collect, and instructed him to not let His Majesty know unless Second Auntie published this imperial decree, and then took out the booklet to prove that it was kept by the royal uncle, otherwise don’t let his majesty know about it.”
“And when His Highness the King of Sukhumvit’s life is threatened by His Majesty, let the Second Aunt write the contents of the holy decree as she sees fit.”
Emperor Xianjia did not trust the Grand Princess of Dai Guo, so the secret decree given to the Grand Princess of Dai Guo, not only was the content written, but the ink on it was also tampered with so that it automatically disappeared after a certain period of time; however, the secret decree given to the Grand Princess of Jin Guo was left to be written by the Grand Princess of Jin Guo because Emperor Xianjia believed that the Grand Princess of Jin Guo would not pit her own descendants or pit Darei. his own children and grandchildren, nor would she pit Darei.
After a pause, Jian Xu Bai whispered, “Royal grandmother knows: second aunt is able to imitate royal uncle’s handwriting.”
The Grand Princess of Jin is the Dowager Empress Dowager’s oldest daughter, the younger siblings underneath only learn to trace the red, are instructed by her so, whether it is the Emperor Xianjia or the Grand Princess of Daikoku, only to learn the characters, are compared to the eldest sister’s handwriting, siblings for each other’s handwriting, of course, is very familiar with each other, and each other can be forged each other’s handwriting.
Of course, although the Emperor Xianjia outstanding talent, in the end is not allround talent, his autograph handwriting is not bad, but also not good enough to be famous for generations to come.
Those famous scholars in the imperial court who have passed the examination, want to copy the handwriting of Emperor Xianjia, it is not difficult.
So in the final analysis, what mattered was this holy decree a secret decree that was documented and came from the will of Emperor Xianjia!
With it, one can, to a certain extent, do things under the banner of Emperor Xianjia!
“Mourner never knew about this imperial decree.” After being baffled for a while, the Empress Dowager said with some loss, “It is also true that the late Emperor passed away, and there are two sisters alive in the Unification, and since he gave a secret decree to the Dai Guo, there is no reason why he would not give it to the Jin Guo.”
But she, her own mother, has nothing?
The Empress Dowager did not know if Emperor Xianjia had forgotten or thought he did not need it, but her heart was more or less sad at the moment.
She pressed her emotions before continuing, “So, Su Zhiyong is hitting on this holy decree?”
“Exactly!” Jian Xubai lowered her eyes and said, “But second auntie has recently been in poor health, I think … it is better not to disturb second auntie!”
The Empress Dowager was silent for a while and said, “Jin has indeed been in a bad shape lately, and with all the mess that has been going on during this time, it is indeed inappropriate to tell her to know about it anymore.”
After a pause, “However, this kind of thing is not something that has to be taken out by her hand her things, these two years are JiaYuo to her to receive, so, I let YuGuo go, and JiaYuo say this, let JiaYuo quietly take out the holy decree!”
Jade Fruit answered and reminded, “Crown Princess Xu is still waiting outside?”
