My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?
Chapter 147: The First Prince
Meng Zifang was unwilling to give up, so she went to the Duke of Rong's Mansion again. In the end, she was sent away without even seeing a proper master.
The two groups of people in the court were arguing with each other, and neither could convince the other. The emperor said nothing and did not express his opinion.
Or maybe deep down in his heart, the emperor was a little disheartened and wanted to give up - anyway, they couldn't be his bloodline, so let them quarrel!
At this moment, a trend suddenly arose among the people: the son of the late crown prince was not dead, and no one was more suitable than the son of the late crown prince.
The former crown prince refers to the eldest brother of the current emperor.
At that time, the former crown prince was well-known for his virtue and kindness, but he was framed by a traitor and committed suicide. Later, the former crown prince was vindicated and the truth was revealed to the world. The former emperor was so heartbroken that he died.
It is rumored that the late crown prince had a son who escaped from the pursuit of villains and hid among the people. The late emperor once announced to the world to look for him, but there was no news. After the current emperor ascended the throne, he also searched for him vigorously for several years, but there was no news either.
Later, everyone thought that even if the son of the former crown prince escaped the desperate situation, he must have not survived for various reasons. As time went by, the matter was forgotten and no one mentioned it again.
Unexpectedly, someone brought it up again now.
There is no smoke without fire.
At this time, the rumor that the former crown prince's son was still alive spread quickly and intensified.
The court officials were all shocked, fearing that this was true...
If the son of the former crown prince is still alive, he would naturally be the most legitimate candidate to inherit the throne.
Who else is worthy except him?
The emperor couldn't help but agree with this.
After all, he had once issued an edict to the world and searched for the son of the late crown prince with great fanfare. Now, if the son of the late crown prince is still alive, he must admit it.
Even if the former crown prince's son is incompetent, as long as he can have children, that is enough.
Some court officials stood up to express their strong agreement and support, while others remained silent and watched, but no one dared to oppose.
After all, the former crown prince is the most legitimate heir. Now that the former crown prince has been rehabilitated, who dares to oppose the former crown prince's son in this situation? Who dares to say that he is not qualified?
No one has more than him.
General An, who was guarding the northern border, came to Beijing to meet the emperor at this time.
No one expected that after General An went to the court to pay homage to the emperor, he would reveal Shao Xun's background on the spot. The current Marquis of Wuwei was the son of the former crown prince.
The late Marquis Wuwei and his wife were loyal to the late crown prince. They secretly saved the late crown prince's son when he was still in his infancy in the past, and used the late crown prince's son to replace their own son.
Anyway, their son was born in the northern border and no one in the capital had ever seen him. They rescued the former crown prince, replaced their own son without anyone noticing, and gave their son to the An family to raise. This son is now the second son of the An family, An Xueluo, and he is the real son of Marquis Wuwei.
The emperor was shocked and the court was in an uproar.
Such a major event naturally cannot be based on the words of General An alone, but what if we add in the words of the eunuch who was the chief steward of the Crown Prince who escaped from the Eastern Palace in the past, the seal and handwritten letter of the Crown Prince, and the handwritten letter of the late Marquis Wu'an?
Shao Xun has been away from the court for many years, and has only gradually come to the fore in the past year or so. No one paid much attention to him before, but now looking closely, his appearance is indeed about four to five points similar to the former crown prince.
The late crown prince had left behind Shao Xun's fingerprints on the files of the Ministry of Clan Affairs. Now, after another comparison, the medical examiners skilled in investigation from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple also confirmed that they were the same person.
No one knew what the emperor felt. Although Shao Xun himself was shocked, the emperor still happily issued an edict to announce to the world and acknowledged his identity.
Lin Yulan was also dumbfounded.
In the last life...did he really die in the sea of fire in the last life? Lin Yulan suddenly felt uncertain.
After all, dying in a sea of fire is something that is easy to fake and to fool others.
However, in his previous life, due to the death of the An brothers and sisters and his impulsive behavior, he did not have the opportunity to be valued by the emperor. He was also suppressed by the prince and the Deng family. In addition, Lin Yuwei, that stupid teammate, kept making trouble and eventually forced him to leave the capital.
That path would be much more difficult and take much longer than this life, right? So in the last life, until he died of illness, he was still unable to regain his identity in an upright manner.
In the previous life, the crown prince fell before his death. It was rumored that he lost in the battle between brothers for the throne. But now that I think about it, Shao Xun and the An family may have had something to do with it...
Lin Yulan sighed softly. No matter what, she was happy for him.
Thanks to their friendship, she thought that her life would be safe, secure, and wealthy with no worries about food and clothing!
He would definitely not make things difficult for her.
When everything was settled, she left.
Lin Yulan had only one question in her mind, which was: Did Shao Xun really know nothing about his own identity?
She had a hunch that he should know.
After all, the Crown Prince fell and even the Second Prince was in trouble. Lin Yulan always felt that Shao Xun was most likely responsible for this, but due to his previous status, no one would think of him as the cause.
But these things can be hidden from others, but not from her.
She had long noticed that he was different from what was rumored. Now that she thought about it, that was the reason...
Lin Yulan was confused, but she had no intention of questioning him. It didn't matter whether the doubt was solved or not.
Unexpectedly, Shao Xun took the initiative to tell her.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, Madam. When the time is right, I will tell you everything from beginning to end."
Lin Yulan was stunned instead. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She smiled softly, shook her head gently and said, "It's okay."
It really doesn't matter.
But he is such a good man, and her life is more secure now...
The emperor issued an edict to restore Shao Xun's status and rewarded him with a mansion. After a few busy days, Lin Yulan and Shao Xun both moved into the palace.
The emperor held a banquet to celebrate, and afterwards there were also banquets, welcoming and other bustle in the palace, which lasted for nearly half a month before it stopped.
However, the emperor had no intention of issuing an edict to appoint Shao Xun as the crown prince. When a court official submitted a memorial, the emperor kept it and did not send it out.
The court officials all noticed it, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.
Shao Xun was not in a hurry either. He was still in charge of the Five Military Commandery and was still working every day.
Old Madam Shao seemed to have smelled something and shamelessly tried to snatch the title of Marquis of Wuwei for her own grandson. Second Master Shao was already disabled, so it was naturally impossible for him to inherit the title, but Shao Yan was still fine.
Shao Xun naturally wouldn't allow it.
He was reluctant to bring up the topic since no one else had mentioned it, and it was just right that Old Madam Shao mentioned it. Shao Xun took the opportunity to ask for permission to return the title of Marquis of Wuwei to the son of the late marquis and his wife.
