faint [rebirth]

The death knell sounded, and the people in Luoyang City soon knew the news of the queen's death.

Ever since Empress Shen gave birth to the prince, the prince has been sick every now and then, and the queen has also been sick every now and then.Every time the imperial physician would kneel down the whole room, and tremblingly told the emperor that he could prepare for the funeral, the queen and the crown prince would always manage to turn the danger into a blessing, and survived again.

So even though the queen was extremely ill this time, everyone just sighed, and then they did what they should do.They thought that this time the queen would be like before, although it was difficult, she still survived.

However, this time the queen really died.

The people in Luoyang City listened to the death knell, and they were confused for a while, and then they all sighed. After that, those who changed their clothes changed their clothes, some closed their doors, and went on with their own lives.

For them, the queen is dead, so long as the royal family doesn't make any noise about the five kings seizing the heir and abolishing the prince to force the palace to bleed, their life will be quieter at most, how should they live? How to live as usual.

However, for those relatives of the royal family, the sky is about to change.

It has been 30 years since Emperor Chengguang succeeded to the throne, and he has just passed his [-]th birthday.

Emperor Chengguang spent half his life as a soldier. He gave birth to eight sons and eight daughters. One son and one daughter died young. During the liquidation, the abandoned prince Xiao Wukun has been imprisoned until now because he forced the palace to accept Emperor Guang.

When Emperor Chengguang imprisoned and abolished the prince, it happened when Emperor Chengguang was 43 years old.At that time, Emperor Chengguang had only six sons in total, one died in infancy, and four died in the conquest of the heir.

At that time, no prince or princess had been born in the harem of Emperor Chengguang for five or six years.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Chengguang was exhausted physically and mentally, and even thought of establishing an emperor's grandson or emperor's nephew, but when Emperor Chengguang really wanted to establish an emperor's grandson or emperor's nephew, he had never conceived a successor all year round. However, Shen became pregnant and gave birth to the sick and weak prince Xiao Wuchen.

Emperor Chengguang got a son when he was old, and the one he got was his son. He was so happy that he no longer wanted to be as strict as those sons before him. He regarded him as a treasure. , all stand out for this son, and make sure that he does not worry too much and damage his mind.

Afterwards, although Shen was usually silent, her methods were also powerful, and she and the two of them protected the crown prince almost impenetrably.Let those who are blocked by the prince can only hope that the prince will die of illness or incompetence, but they can't break up with the prince at all.

Until now, the successor, Mrs. Shen, has died.

And the majesty has not returned yet.

Participated in the five kings' struggle for succession, and the only fourth princess who survived received a message from the princess in the princess mansion, and immediately burst into laughter.

"Quick, quick! Bring a pen and paper, I will personally write a letter to King Yuan, asking him to come to Luoyang quickly from the fief! Also, son-in-law, hurry up and find some officials, quietly, hurry up! "

This is still the case in the princess's mansion, and the rest of the people who disliked the prince and blocked the way, even after learning that the queen died and left behind the imperial edict, and that the prince also obeyed the imperial edict, and really never stayed by the queen's side, they burst into laughter and were born. Immediately find a way to notify the kings who are still in the fief.

The Shen family of Marquis Weiyang.

Mrs. Lao Hou is getting older, she feels light, and when she hears the death knell, she wakes up one step earlier than the servants around her.

"How many times? Who's gone?"

The servant didn't even know how to count, so she hurriedly went out to ask, and when she came back, she cried with tears all over her face: "Old Furen, the Empress has passed away! Our young lady is gone!"

Mrs. Lao Hou was stunned when she heard the words, and then she cried bitterly: "Mother's darling! Mother's darling! Are you so cruel that you let your mother send a white-haired man to a black-haired one?"

Mrs. Lao Hou was heartbroken. After the current uncle Wei Yanghou got up, he received a letter from his beloved concubine Shen, but he hesitated for a long time and never spoke.

Mrs. Wei Yanghou was puzzled, picked up the letter and looked at it for a while, then wondered: "What's the matter, Lord Hou? Didn't my sister say, let us help her? The prince is confused, and the ritual of keeping filial piety is known to all gentlemen in the world. He has had it since the day he knew the etiquette, but he just ignored the etiquette and law based on the edict of his elder sister when he was seriously ill and confused. Is it what a gentleman does? Is it what a prince should do? My sister asked Lord Hou to call a speech The officials impeached the crown prince and taught the crown prince the manners of a gentleman, but that is what it should be."

Marquis Wei Yang remained silent, before saying for a long time: "Then, if the crown prince stays by Eldest Sister's side all the time tonight, obeying the filial piety that a gentleman should keep and disobeys the last request in Eldest Sister Yi's edict, will my younger sister still send a message to ask this Marquis to find an official? Impeaching the prince is unfilial?"

Mrs. Wei Yanghou was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the Crown Prince is weak and has never been a sign of longevity? What's more, although the Eighth Prince is only three years old, he is smart and smart. He is as good as our little daughter. It's a childhood sweetheart, in the future..." She cleared her cough, and persuaded again, "Since Hou Ye made a choice at the beginning, then, we can only continue on this road."

Wei Yanghou continued to remain silent until the housekeeper came to report, and the several officials invited by his wife on his behalf had arrived, then he quietly got up.

That's right, since he made a decision early on, even if he knew that he was sorry for his elder sister who loved him so much in the past, and he knew that he was sorry for the poor but obviously smarter and more sensible prince, he had no way out early on.

At least, no matter which nephew is in the position, he is a real uncle, isn't he?

Wei Yanghou straightened his clothes, walked out with his head held high and his chest held high.

Mrs. Wei Yanghou breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly arranged the affairs in the Hou's mansion, went to the old Mrs. Hou's residence, and invited the old Mrs. Hou to enter the palace with her.The queen is dead, and there is still a tough battle to be fought in the palace.

Of course, thinking of the foolish things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did, and thinking of the Crown Prince's dependence and trust on Concubine Shen, although Mrs. Wei Yanghou felt that the battle was not easy to fight, she didn't think that with Concubine Shen's ability, the battle was too difficult. will lose.

—Of course, so what if you lose?The current prince is the most important son of the Holy One. The deposed prince has been imprisoned for many years, and the eighth prince is only three years old. Except for the prince, there are almost no sons of the Holy One who can inherit the throne. Ruthless, after all, there will still be a saint who will come back and help the prince to sit firmly in that position.

All they have to do is to completely assign the name of unfilial piety to the prince.After ten years, the eighth prince will grow up. This unfilial title has its own uses.

Wei Yanghou's mansion was busy, and soon the whole family entered the palace.

And at dawn, all the concubines, princes, queens, and grandchildren of Hegong knelt outside the Jiaofang Hall.The Eighth Prince was the youngest, but he was the one who cried the most.Almost everyone has seen the "filial piety" of the little Eighth Prince.

And when the time came, all the wives of Luoyang City also entered the palace, kneeling in the Jiaofang Hall and weeping bitterly.

Until this time, the prince has not appeared.

The sage is not here, the prince supervises the country.All affairs of the court must be reported to the East Palace by the courtiers.It's just that the Holy Majesty always cared about the Crown Prince, and he issued a death order before he left, saying that the officials were allowed to go to the East Palace to discuss matters, and if they went too early and disturbed the Crown Prince's rest, the Holy Majesty would not spare them.

It was precisely because of this that even though rumors of the prince's "unfilial piety" had long been reported in the palace, the ministers did not rush to the discussion pavilion of the East Palace until the hour of the hour, anxious to see the prince.

In the East Palace, Xiao Wuchen had just finished taking a simple bath at this time, and was being led by Ah Yao and Ah Ya to kneel and eat at the banquet.

Xiao Wuchen frowned slightly, and stopped in his footsteps.

Ah Du couldn't speak, so he hurriedly looked at Ah Yao.

Ah Yao said: "What's the matter, Your Highness? But you don't like the meal? If you don't like it, the servant will make it for you immediately. The servant is fast and can finish it in a while. You don't need to wait too long."

Xiao Wuchen shook his head slowly, and said lightly: "It's not that the food is bad. It's..." He paused for a while before saying, "Go to the storeroom and bring the tables and chairs of those barbarians who came in from outside. No more sitting on your knees."

Ah Yao was stunned, and then she was overjoyed: "Your Highness is not in good health. Sitting on knees for a long time is not the way to keep in good health. Now that Your Highness has figured it out, it is the best thing. Your Highness's breakfast is just a meal, and the servant will go to the warehouse." Xun Mo, immediately sent people to move the tables and chairs of those barbarians to the meeting hall."

Then wait for the prince to go to the Yishi Pavilion, and then change all the other things.

Xiao Wuchen nodded slightly, looking a little dazed.

In his previous life, he was always well-behaved. Although he didn't agree with the rules and etiquette left by his ancestors in his heart, those rules and etiquette were the foundation for him to be able to secure the throne. Therefore, even though he thought in his heart, he spent a long time in Under the persuasion of the emperor's uncle, he finally learned from that barbarian. In normal times, he no longer kneels and tires himself.

Uncle...

Xiao Wuchen stood in the room, thinking of the person he was most sorry for, his heart suddenly became tense.

Speaking of which, he will be able to see the emperor's uncle when he goes to the Yishi Pavilion later, but how should he make up for this emperor's uncle whom he was sorry for in the past?

Xiao Wuchen thought for a moment, and A-ya pulled his sleeves to eat breakfast.

With a wry smile in his heart, yes, he thought too much.After going to the meeting room, he has a tough battle to fight, so how can he take care of the emperor's uncle?

However, his uncle should still help him as always, right?

You know, only if the emperor's uncle is willing to help him, can he truly become a "faint king" in the future.
