Chapter 385 Identity Announcement
Queen Gaochang didn't speak. Her nominal niece, under the soft and quiet skin, was ruthless and calm inside. She always knew what she wanted.
Because of the shocking glimpse seven years ago, she would not hesitate to abandon her people and join herself, in order to win King Su in one fell swoop one day. In the past seven years, he has worked hard to learn Gu books, poison art and military strategies, from being illiterate to being able to memorize esoteric and difficult military books.
But she is not a silly woman who only cares about love. She has great ambitions and knows how to weigh the pros and cons.
If Princess Xiyue is a beautiful vase that breaks when touched, then Qingyu is an ordinary poisonous weed, seemingly inconspicuous, but it can strike you fatally when you are not prepared.
After a while, Queen Gaochang said with emotion: "You are more sober than I was back then!
Don't worry, your chance will come soon!
The prince sent a letter, saying that the capital of Great Xia is already in chaos. "
Her lips painted bright red curled up, and there was a trace of unbearable madness in her eyes:
"After so many years of planning and laying out so many chess pieces, it's finally time to start using them.
Qingyu, send a letter to South Burma, the border of Daxia Kingdom has been peaceful for too long, it should be chaotic! "
…
Although the capital is still bustling and bustling at this time, the court and officialdom that the common people cannot reach are shrouded in turmoil.
This matter has to start a few days ago.
Since the crown prince was grounded, he seems to be a filial son with all his heart, copying Buddhist scriptures and praying for the emperor and empress in the East Palace with peace of mind every day. And Shi Chang ordered his subordinates to collect novelty snacks in the market and send them to the palace.
After all, he was the only son, and the queen softened her heart within a few days. Jing and the emperor had sealed the hunting ground that day, so the queen didn't know why the prince was grounded.
When having dinner that night, the queen tentatively mentioned to Jing and Emperor about letting the prince into the palace.
It happened that Jing and Emperor had contracted the wind and cold these days, and people are always more vulnerable when they are sick. After a little hesitation, they released the prince's restraint.
After that, the prince became more respectful and filial. Because Jing and the emperor were sick, he waited on him every day, and he was more attentive than the personal eunuch.
Jing and Emperor, who recovered from the wind and cold, looked at the crown prince's cautious eyes, and finally sighed:
"Don't blame your father. Although I am your father, I am also the king of a country. Shuo'er is more suitable to be an emperor than you.
Don't worry, I will arrange a way out for you, even if Shuo'er ascends the throne in the future, I won't make things difficult for you. "
The crown prince lowered his eyes respectfully: "My subjects all understand that the position of crown prince should belong to Shuo'er."
Seeing that he is still as docile as before, Jing and Di couldn't help but smile in relief: "It's good if you can think so."
At this time, Feng Shuo came to report homework to Jing and Emperor. Since Jing and Emperor had decided to make Feng Shuo the crown prince, they naturally paid great attention to his studies and checked him on time every day. Along with him was Qin Yan, who was in charge of teaching him,
Before the little guy finished his salute, Jing and Di beckoned to move him to the side of the bed, and quizzed him a few homework at random. Seeing his fluent answers, they couldn't help nodding in satisfaction. Pointing to the prince standing quietly beside him, he said:
"If you don't understand anything, you can also ask your second emperor uncle."
The crown prince dared not look into Feng Shuo's eyes, and only whispered: "I...I am not qualified, what happened last time..."
Feng Shuo seemed to have forgotten what happened last time, he grabbed the prince's sleeve and smiled sweetly at him:
"What did Uncle Erhuang say? I should be the one who apologized to Uncle Erhuang. Last time, my nephew was too reckless to listen to the rumors. My husband has already taught me a lesson after I got back. Uncle Erhuang, you have always been kind, so you will definitely not You care about like a nephew, right?"
His tone is more sincere than the prince's, and he is delicate and well-behaved. He said such words in a childish voice, but whoever dares to refuse will definitely be scolded and bullied.
The prince's expression froze, as if he didn't expect anyone to be more capable of pretending to be pitiful than him. He had no choice but to hold the little guy's head with a stiff smile: "Well, what Shuo'er said is absolutely true."
Jing and Di looked at the two children so harmoniously, and couldn't help stroking their beards in relief.
At this time, the prince smiled and suggested: "Since Shuo'er is the only blood of the eldest brother, how can he always bear the name of the illegitimate child! According to Erchen, it is better to disclose the identity of Shuo'er to the public, so that the elder brother will feel more at ease under the nine springs." some."
Jing and Di frowned and pondered: "You're right, Shuo'er's identity will be announced sooner or later, but...if the murderer who killed your elder brother is not found, I'm afraid..."
Bringing this matter up, the prince also looked sad, but finally said:
"But if the murderer can't be found, is Shuo'er going to keep hiding his identity? I just think it's too unfair to Shuo'er."
Looking at the unfeigned distress and worry in the prince's eyes. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Qin Yan really wanted to go up and give him two punches.
Jing and Di were moved by his look, and they handed over the decision to Feng Shuo, "Suo'er, what do you think?"
Feng Shuo met the prince's gaze calmly: "The brotherly love that the second emperor uncle has for his father is really touching!"
The prince clearly knew that his words were sarcasm, but his tone was too sincere. He could only suppress all the haze in his heart and follow the other party's words.
For a moment, he even felt that this little thing bored him more than Feng Lisheng.
Because Feng Lisheng kept a cold face at all times, standing with the other party, naturally showed his gentleness and harmlessness.
But Feng Shuo is better at pretending than him!
At such a young age, he can be so calm, if he is allowed to grow up...
Feng Shuo winked playfully at the prince whose fingers were slightly stiff, and then looked like Jing and Emperor, with serious faces on his face:
"Uncle is an upright man. I don't want my uncle to bear the stigma of having an affair with a woman again. The second emperor uncle is right. I can't hide it for a lifetime."
Jing and Di nodded: "Since you have made your own decision, then Grandfather respects what you mean."
…
On the way out of the palace, Qin Yan frowned and said, "You know that the prince has bad intentions, why did you agree?"
Feng Shuo had a thick history book on his lap, he raised his head calmly and said:
"There's going to be a day, isn't it? I can't hide under the wings of all of you forever."
Qin Yan sighed: "As your interim husband, sometimes I hope that you are as talented and resourceful as your father. Sometimes I feel that it is not fair to you to put all my hopes on a child like you."
Feng Shuo smiled faintly: "Don't worry too much, uncle, I think it's pretty good, and I don't reject these." He was destined to be unable to cling to his parents' arms and act like a spoiled child like an ordinary child.
"Auntie should be on her way to Qindi now!"
"Well, yesterday your aunt just received a letter from the princess, asking to help find a doctor who knows Gu skills."
…
The next day, at the court meeting, after discussing the big and small things presented. Jing and Emperor announced Feng Shuo's identity in front of the court full of civil and military ministers.
This news is like boiling water rolling over a frying pan, and a single stone stirs up thousands of waves.
The first prince passed away for nearly seven years. After the first one or two years, people have gradually accepted and got used to that amazingly talented young man gradually becoming a legend.
But now they are told that the young man who has lived in people's memory actually has heirs!
They couldn't help but look at the little boy standing beside Jing and Di. Feng Shuo took off his disguise, washed away those deliberately blue eyes, now his back was straight, and he could see the image of the former prince at a glance.
This news surprised everyone more than surprises. After all, the so-called emperor and courtiers are the same, and the prince is the same. Now that the court is stable, they are used to the current prince.
However, there are still many followers of the former prince who are happy.
However, there are also many veteran officials who have experienced ups and downs in their careers and realized that the peaceful court is about to be turbulent.
Within a few days, there were rumors in private that Jing and Emperor planned to change Feng Shuo as the crown prince.
This news is not a waste of shit. Thinking about it, since Feng Shuo was brought back to Beijing by King Su as an illegitimate child, Jing and Emperor loved him very much. Everyone only thinks that His Majesty loves the house and crows at this time.
But now that I think about it, if Feng Shuo is really just the illegitimate son of King Su, then he will be given the best in terms of basic necessities of life, and he is not a legitimate son, so why bother?
Furthermore, since Feng Shuo's identity has been announced, it stands to reason that Jing and the emperor should grant the child the king's mansion, but the Ministry of Rites did not move at all.
Everything shows that Jing and Di attach great importance to this child.
During seven years, the prince kept his composure and almost gathered all the officials of the DPRK and China.
Because Jing and the emperor only have one prince, the prince, they avoided the party disputes caused by the battle for the crown prince. The court can be regarded as peaceful, and the prince is also good in all aspects. Some courtiers are unwilling to break the current peace.
In short, if they had a choice between the prince and Feng Shuo, almost most of them would choose the prince.
However, for the reverence engraved in the bones of the imperial power of the heavenly family, no matter how much they think about it, most people will only choose to obey the holy order.
A few days later, when some officials were thinking about how to curry favor with Feng Shuo, another rumor caused the court to explode.
