Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

The emperor dropped his hands suddenly, as if he could no longer bear such a blow.

He stared with his eyes wide open, as if fighting against death, but in the end, after coughing violently twice, he still died.

After Yixiu and Nian Shilan looked at each other, they both closed the emperor's eyes.

This time, everything is finally over.

.........

Prince Bao found a box at a guard post in front of the Queen Mother's tomb, and inside the box was an imperial edict.

Prince Bao opened the imperial edict and saw that it clearly stated that the throne would be passed to the fourth prince.

He was so happy that he didn't even have time to read the imperial edict clearly before he excitedly held it in his arms. Now everything was settled.

He brought a group of people with him, notified the Zongzheng and old ministers who had defected to him, and marched directly to the palace.

Yixiu had already spread the news of the emperor's death, and the prince and the royal relatives, nobles and ministers in the capital had also come.

One is to discuss the emperor's funeral ceremony, and the other is to discuss who the future crown prince will be?

Among the crowd, Prince Guo took the lead and stood out, saying with a serious face:

"Who is the new emperor? It's naturally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His title was bestowed upon him by the Emperor himself, and he is the eldest legitimate son. During the Emperor's illness, the Crown Prince handled state affairs on his behalf. In my opinion, the Crown Prince should ascend the throne immediately."

The other ministers also agreed that since the emperor died of illness, it was inevitable that the prince would succeed to the throne.

But at this moment, Prince Bao arrived with a group of ministers. He held up the imperial edict in his hand and said sternly:

"Wait a minute! I have an imperial edict left by my father, and it clearly states that I am to be made the new emperor!"

When Prince Bao said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Prince Shen stepped forward and said, "Prince Bao, are you so obsessed with becoming emperor that you're confused? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You're not the legitimate heir, nor the most virtuous, nor the eldest son. How could the emperor make you the new emperor?"

After Prince Shen finished speaking, the others followed suit. After all, this matter seemed a bit outrageous to them.

Even if the emperor were to make the second prince the new emperor, it would be more reliable than this.

The second prince's biological mother is Consort Xian, and the fourth prince's biological mother is just an unknown woman. The emperor is not crazy, so how could he make the fourth prince the new emperor?

Seeing that they didn't believe him, Prince Bao proudly raised the imperial edict in his hand.

"I have already said it. I have an imperial decree. If you don't believe it, you can verify its authenticity."

Prince Guo and Prince Shen looked at each other, both a little worried.

But when they saw how calm and unhurried the Crown Prince and the Queen were, they understood what was going on and stopped talking.

Prince Bao handed the imperial edict to the ministers for inspection. Suddenly, a minister from the Ministry of Rites asked in confusion:

"It is true that the imperial edict states that the Fourth Prince will be made the new emperor, but..."

Prince Bao could no longer hide the smile on his face, as if he was about to ascend the throne as emperor at the next moment.

He didn't expect to be slapped in the face right away. "But this imperial edict wasn't written by the emperor himself, but rather the edict of the late emperor. This Fourth Prince is not that Fourth Prince!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone showed an expression of "as expected", and some people in the crowd even couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Is Prince Bao crazy about becoming the emperor? He actually found the late emperor's edict from somewhere."

"He's not here to make fun of me, is he? In such a serious occasion, he's actually doing these things, and making them look like the real thing."

The Crown Prince wore a mournful expression and said, "Fourth Brother, you've been very disrespectful to me before, relying on the title of Prince Bao bestowed upon you by the Emperor. First, you questioned whether I had the Emperor under my control, then brought a group of people to break into the Forbidden City, completely ignoring the Emperor's illness and insisting on disturbing him. Then you insisted on taking the Emperor's jade pendant, and then brought people to the Empress Dowager's mausoleum to disturb her. Are you crazy?"

Prince Guo raised his head and said in a leisurely and mocking tone:

"Where did Prince Bao get the imperial edict from? It turns out he was going to disturb the Empress Dowager. He is so unfilial, how could he be worthy of being a prince?"

Yixiu also looked grief-stricken. "Fourth Prince, the Emperor knew he would not live long. Considering that you were the youngest among the princes and your mother had passed away, he made you a prince, hoping that your life would be easier in the future. I never thought that you would harbor evil intentions because of this. You..."

Before Yixiu could finish her words, she picked up a handkerchief, covered her face with it, and pretended to cry.

Su Chou stood out from the crowd and said sternly, "How dare you, Prince Bao, disrespect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first and then falsely convey the imperial edict. Do you think you are relying on the Crown Prince's kindness and generosity to dare to commit such a crime?"

He took the lead and said, "Your Highness, please punish Prince Bao severely!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the others all knelt on the ground in understanding, "We implore Your Highness the Crown Prince to severely punish Prince Bao!"

Even the ministers following Prince Bao knelt on the ground and changed their words. It was obvious that Prince Bao had lost. If they had been more sensible, they might have been able to save their lives.

Prince Bao's situation was hopeless at this point, and he looked at the imperial edict in disbelief.

It’s just a pity that he had not been favored by the emperor since he was a child, and had never seen what the imperial edict of succession looked like. How could he tell whether the edict was written for Yinzhen or Kangxi?

"Come here, pass on my decree. Prince Bao is plotting rebellion and falsely passing on the imperial decree. I depose him as a commoner and imprison him in the Imperial Clan House."

Everyone knelt down and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise and wise. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

After dealing with these matters, the prince soon held his coronation ceremony.

The crown prince ascended the throne and changed the reign title to "Yuanding", and was named Emperor Yuanding.

The Crown Prince honored his biological mother, Ulanara, as the Empress Dowager and lived in the Cining Palace.

When Concubine Xian was young, she took care of the prince. The prince, in recognition of her kindness, named her Imperial Noble Concubine and made her live in Shoukang Palace.

Among the concubines of the late queen, Concubine Jing volunteered to go to Ganlu Temple to pray for the emperor.

Concubine An was pregnant and was rewarded for her contribution in giving birth to a prince, so she was named Concubine Dowager An.

Concubine Chun was named Concubine Chun Tai Guiren, and she took care of the heir together with Concubine An.

The second prince was named Prince Zhong and was also in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. The Qing Dynasty then had another hereditary iron-hat prince.

The third prince was conferred the title of Prince Shun, and his biological mother, Concubine Qi, was taken out of the palace and taken care of personally by him.

Longkodo formed a clique for personal gain, committed favoritism and corruption, and accepted bribes, but considering his past merits, he was given a cup of poisoned wine and allowed to be buried in the Tonggiya clan tomb.

The rest of the Tonggiya clan were not implicated, so they were all grateful to the emperor.

The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the most anticipated issue now is the enthronement of the queen.

When the new emperor was the crown prince, he had two concubines. One of them had a family problem, and the other...
