Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy
Chapter 310 Queen Mother's Birthday 7
Everyone angrily denounced Prince Yin and his son, "The Emperor is ruling with benevolence, the court is clear, and the people are living in peace. Yet, you are forging an imperial edict and rebelling at this very moment. Aren't you afraid that the late Emperor will suffer in his grave?"
"Forged imperial edict? May I ask, Your Majesty, you personally placed this imperial edict in the coffin, and the cloud embroidery on it was embroidered by you yourself. Do you recognize it, Your Majesty?"
Concubine Liu was very imposing, but the Empress Dowager had a gloomy face and said nothing.
Back then, although the late emperor was infatuated with Concubine Liu, he also respected her very much. No matter how Concubine Liu made a fuss, she could not shake her position as queen. As for the emperor, he was personally taught by the emperor at the age of six and was named crown prince at the age of sixteen, and his position has never been shaken since then.
So when the late emperor was dying, he left this secret decree to her and told her that it was for the next emperor.
She never doubted it, and never thought of opening it to take a look.
She had thought that the next emperor would be one of her grandsons, but she had no idea...
My late emperor, my husband, has been dead for so many years, yet you did this to her when she was completely unprepared. You are so cruel!
Song Jinxiu's heart sank. Judging from the Empress Dowager's reaction, could this imperial edict be true?
Is the late emperor getting old and confused? Why would he leave behind such a will? Could it be that the late emperor was bewitched by Concubine Liu?
Yes, this Concubine Liu still has charm even with her gray hair. I wonder how beautiful she must have been when she was young?
You know what, she looks quite like the icy beauty Concubine Qi.
Liu Renxiu frowned and looked at the withered old man, Eunuch Chen. "Eunuch Chen, you have watched me grow up. You are a close confidant of my father. Tell me, is this imperial edict true?"
Chen Qing nodded solemnly.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Song Jinxiu: The emperor asked this question. Since this old eunuch was invited by Concubine Liu to testify, he must be a big villain.
Liu Renxiu's heart sank. "Why? Is it because I don't meet Father's wishes? Then why did he pass the throne to me in the first place?"
Everyone stretched their heads and listened attentively, and even those who were poisoned tried their best to suppress their annoyance.
They also wanted to know why.
Chen Qing stretched out his skeleton-like arm, pulled up a layer of wrinkled old skin on his arm, and stretched it out, revealing four sentences on it.
"Ren Zi and Gui Chou spread across the Dragon Crown, Jia Bing Wu Geng started a rebellion, the universe turned and Chu Yin emerged, Cangwu can continue for another hundred years."
"These are the four mottos left by the late emperor. I was afraid I would forget them, so I carved them on this arm. The late emperor said that if Your Majesty feels wronged, you will understand as soon as you read these four words."
Song Jinxiu didn't understand what the Manlongguan meant, but she understood what the rebellion meant.
What it means is that there will be a war and the people will suffer. Only if King Chu Yin comes to power can Cangwu last another hundred years, otherwise the country will be destroyed.
This old emperor is really something. The foreign barbarians haven't even started a war yet, but he lets his two sons fight each other first. Isn't this the destruction of the country your own fault?
Song Jinxiu looked at the solemn emperor with some sympathy: Your father is even less reliable than my father. My father only brings harm to his children at best, but your father is making a joke of the entire country.
Is this Prince Yin Liu Chu fit to be an emperor? He's more like an actor, right?
No matter whether he is qualified to be emperor or not, she will not let him get his wish.
Your Majesty is her most powerful backer. If it were this person, would she still be so free and easy?
Liu Renxiu looked at these four maxims and he understood!
When his father was dying, he said that the Liu family had gone against the will of heaven and that their descendants would be punished by heaven, so he left behind four maxims to prolong the life of the Liu family.
The Saintess of the Cui Family also made a prophecy: The Liu Family’s kingdom has run out of luck and will perish in his generation. Cangwu will be divided up by foreign barbarians and the people of Cangwu will suffer.
He refused to accept his fate and vowed to continue the Cangwu Empire, so he worked diligently and disciplined himself, especially since he met the little girl...
He glanced at Song Jinxiu.
With her, his kingdom will prosper and Cangwu will not be torn apart.
What does "Ren Zi and Gui Chou spread across the dragon crown, Jia Bing Wu Geng started a rebellion, the universe turned and Chu Yin came out, Cangwu can continue for another hundred years"?
He glanced at Liu Chu.
I'm afraid that only if it is handed over to him will Cangwu be destroyed? Even if it continues for another hundred years, it will probably be a hundred years of misery for the people.
Father, you are wrong. I will not give up this throne.
I, your son, have worked hard and even reluctantly made sacrifices to bring about a new situation in Cangwu.
I just saw hope...
Why should I give in?
"Brother Emperor, as our father has left a will, please issue an edict to abdicate." Prince Yin said proudly, looking at the silent Liu Renxiu.
The crowd shouted, "Your Majesty, you can't do that."
Liu Renxiu glanced at him and said, "Father is extremely concerned about inheritance. You don't understand the way of being a king. Even if this imperial decree is true, I will not pass the throne to you."
Prince Yin lowered his head slightly, rolled his eyes, looked at Liu Renxiu and asked fiercely: "My brother, do you want to disobey the will?"
Liu Renzheng said with a serious expression, "I will not entrust the entire country to you. I have been learning how to govern a country since I was six years old, and I have never dared to slack off. And you, how much do you know about being a king? I don't trust you with it."
"That's the way of a king, right? Who says I can't do it?"
Prince Yin Liu Chu shook his head, opened the Fengliu fan in his hand with a "Ula", and fanned it, then proudly recited:
"The way to be a king is to set your ambition first. Without it, you cannot succeed. Your ambition should reach the heavens and connect the earth. Your spirit and soul should be universal, combining strength and flexibility. You should save all living beings and bring peace to the world. My royal brother, you memorized these when you were a child, and I, your humble servant, have memorized them too."
Liu Renxiu shook his head. "What's important isn't setting aspirations, but emphasizing education, reducing legal affairs, appointing talented people to perform, being vigilant in times of peace, being good at accepting opportunities, being strict with oneself, focusing on rewards and punishments, and cultivating both civil and military skills... Have you learned these?"
Prince Yin's face darkened. He had indeed not studied these things systematically. "I have books and my father's manuscripts. He said they were all left to me."
Liu Renxiu shook his head again, "Is learning and applying it now enough for you? And..."
He pointed at the people from Southern Xinjiang behind them and the people who had fainted on the ground.
"You actually colluded with foreign nations, betrayed the country, and poisoned loyal ministers. You have a bad character. How can you be a king?"
Liu Renxiu spoke each word with a powerful voice. Prince Yin's face turned purple and he said angrily:
"My Royal Brother, there is no point in saying more. The Imperial Hospital has been taken over by my people. I have the antidote to the thousands of troubles among them. Your Majesty, please consider it for an incense stick of time. If you take more than an incense stick, the people here who have been poisoned will either go insane or become demented."
Liu Renxiu's face was stern. "Why don't you hand over the antidote quickly? These are all important officials in the court. How can you convince them by treating their lives as a joke?"
"Oh, my royal brother is always accusing people of accusations. I told you, as long as you abdicate, I will give you the antidote. Their lives are in my royal brother's hands. It is my royal brother, not me, who treats the lives of my beloved ministers as a joke."
Qi Chenghua whispered to his men, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and check it out. If it doesn't work, go outside the palace and prepare an antidote."
"Don't struggle. I've already taken the imperial physician under my control. He needs to be taken outside the palace to prepare the medicine. It will take at least an hour. I'm afraid they won't be able to wait for you to come back."
Everyone angrily shouted: "Despicable and shameless."
"It's not me who is despicable, it's my brother. The Emperor has issued an imperial decree, and you are making excuses. Are you trying to disobey it?"
Seeing everyone's eyes becoming increasingly red, Liu Renxiu finally compromised.
"Okay, you give them the antidote first. Learn to love your subjects first, and then we can talk about other things, okay?"
"I can make you the Crown Prince. You can first learn the ways of governing a country from me. When you are able to do it, I will pass the throne to you."
The crowd shouted again: "Your Majesty, you can't do that."
Song Jinxiu poured the black and pungent antidote made by the soy milk maker into the ceramic jar.
The smell was too pungent, so she hurried to Eunuch Hai.
Eunuch Hai was glaring at the front when suddenly, he found a hot, smelly jar in his arms. The smell made him stagger and almost drop it.
"Don't throw it away, it's the antidote."
Eunuch Hai quickly hugged him tightly.
Antidote? Even if it was a jar of shit and piss, he would hold on tight.
Now that there is an antidote, Song Jinxiu couldn't bear it anymore. I don't care about the late emperor's will. This girl only recognizes His Majesty.
He gave Qi Chenghua a wink, then suddenly jumped out and rushed towards the Saint of Southern Border.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. She thought the most troublesome person here was the Saint of Southern Border, so she ignored Concubine Liu.
