Chapter 58
Chapter 58
Fu Cheng didn't sleep for a long time, theoretically speaking, it won't change the sky when he wakes up.
But who made the old emperor play cards unreasonably?
Without the unfilial prince and the queen who was always waiting for his death, the old emperor seemed to wake up overnight.
When the Minister of the Ministry of Justice handed over the evidence of the eldest princess and Rong Enhou's plan to rebel to the old emperor, the already gray-haired emperor had already shed tears.
The imperial concubine was supporting the old emperor, and wept silently when she saw this...
Although she didn't feel sad for the queen and the prince in her heart, the old emperor was her first fish after all, the hero was late, and he always loved her, so it was somewhat sentimental.
When Hubu Shangshu and others met, it was inevitable that they would appreciate the concubine more.
Sure enough, a woman who has the courage to help Yu Xiangcheng is a kind and righteous woman, who is so different from the queen. It is really rare.
"Uh..." The Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who knew the truth, silently glanced at the imperial concubine, then silently looked away, as if he didn't see anything.
Anyway, His Majesty also needs white lies, and the imperial concubine is a suitable candidate.
After the old emperor was rescued, his eyes were bloodshot all the time. At this moment, he put down the memorial, waved his hand, and refused the tea offered by the imperial concubine, saying: "My concubine has worked hard all day, let's rest. Prime Minister Where is the person?"
"Return to Your Majesty, Prince An Ding is not feeling well, and Prime Minister Yu is taking care of him."
"Oh...it's that kid Fucheng..." the old emperor murmured, "He's a good, smart, sensible, well-mannered man, and he never complained to me when he suffered a disadvantage. Protecting him, failing to manage the empress and prince well, let a good child... fall into this situation. The national teacher is also a good one, loyal to the king and loving the people...It's a pity that the national teacher was also killed by me."
The old emperor's eyes diverged a little, as if he had lost his mind.
But everyone present knew that he was just talking to himself.
I have been confused for most of my life, and looking back are all mistakes and regrets. In fact, the emperor is not unaware of his mistakes, but he never dared to look back.
Once he admits these mistakes, his wife, his only son, his elder sister who depends on each other, and his loyal courtiers will all leave him forever.
And his life will eventually leave a very dishonorable mark in the history books, and he is destined to face his ancestors without face.
"The matter has come to this, it's time for me to see the prime minister, go and invite the prime minister."
The Minister of the Ministry of Rituals made a salute upon hearing his words and deeds, so he was about to resign.
But who knows, he only took two steps, and was stopped by the old emperor again.
"Forget it, there's no need to ask for it." The old emperor coughed several times while clutching his chest, and said, "The prime minister is extremely smart, how could he not know what I think? He didn't come to see me because he was thinking of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. These few years……"
"How many times have I blocked him, even meddling in disaster relief, he didn't say anything, and he was extremely disappointed."
"Obviously... I was rescued by the prime minister back then, and I cherished my talents, and I wholeheartedly wanted to accept him as my adopted son. He is much stronger than the crown prince. There is no civil or military opponent in the whole dynasty."
"I claim to be his second father, but when the prime minister risked his life to conquer the great mountains and rivers against the barbarians, I never went to see this son."
"Later, the prime minister became more and more stable and mature day by day. He single-handedly cleared the court, and he was unmatched in the limelight. He made great contributions. I named him the position of prime minister, the first assistant of super rank, and the general of soldiers and horses, and let him manage the cabinet and the soldiers of the world. Ma, An Bang Ding Guo, let him do everything, hard work, but this is not putting him on the opposite side of the prince."
"Since the crown prince personally asked me in the court hall to take back the prime minister's position as Taifu, and didn't want the prime minister to be my teacher, I should know that I was wrong."
"Not to mention the burning of books and expulsion of Confucian scholars in the future. The crown prince will not live up to his expectations and condone the corruption and bribery of the subordinates. There is nothing I can do. I can't teach him well. I still want to silence the people."
"The prime minister has been unwilling to accept the imperial decree that I passed on to him. I'm afraid it's also...cough coughcough..." The old emperor wiped off the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand at the panic-stricken concubine, and continued, "I'm afraid it's also clear, I'm not willing at all, it's just a foolish emperor's tricks to tempt Zai's rather ordinary courtiers..."
There was more and more blood spilling from the corner of the emperor's mouth. The imperial concubine was first speechless by the truth he told, and then she was helped aside, watching in horror as the imperial hospital was treating the emperor.
The six ministers were all standing aside, but they didn't make a sound.
They all know how much Yu Hanzhou has paid for this country, and this is the fundamental reason why everyone swears to follow Yu Hanzhou to the death.
They could see clearly that the old emperor had selfish intentions, and they once felt worthless for the prime minister, but they knew better that what Yu Hanzhou yearned for at first was not supreme power at all.
The country is peaceful and the people are safe, Haiyan and Heqing are the original aspirations of all courtiers.
People in the royal family are well pampered, and rarely go out in modest clothes to inspect the people's conditions. They don't know the sufferings of the people. How can they know how to plan for the people better than the prime minister who was born in the people?
But today's matter, the emperor suddenly lost his way and found his way back, which is considered a good thing.
Because, he is very likely to pass the throne on the spot, and the person who passes the throne is only the candidate for the new emperor that the six ministers prefer-Yu Hanzhou.
So, the chancellor's plan to retreat behind the scenes...
The Minister of the Household Department coughed lightly, saluted respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you invite the prime minister over?"
The old emperor took a few breaths before recovering, and waved his hands weakly.
"No need, if the Prime Minister is allowed to come, I'm afraid he's not willing to take on this burden. Now Haiyan Heqing, he has his wish, I'm afraid it's...someone, pass the pen and ink, I... want to make an edict."
Hearing the words, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, the old god looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Rites on the ground.
Sure enough, the other party gave him an appreciative look, and he was immediately passed on.
The old emperor is extremely sane now, and the imperial edict for passing on the throne was written without hesitation.
"According to my decree, from tomorrow onwards, the emperor will be in the prime minister Yu Hanzhou, and I will officially abdicate. The former prince, first empress, eldest princess, and Marquis Rong En will all be reduced to common people and will not be allowed to enter Beijing again for life.
Thoroughly investigate the poisoning of Princess Fuen, arrest the eldest princess, and deal with it according to the law.The owner of Huayi County, who is still young and has made no major mistakes, has been demoted to be the owner of Huayi County. From now on, he will go to Youzhou to settle down, and he will not return to Beijing without an edict. "
"Also," the old emperor closed his eyes, "Yao Wulun, the chief eunuch, grew up with me since childhood. He suddenly disappeared today. It must be the work of the deposed prince. Let the new emperor find him as soon as possible. It's my last wish cough cough cough..."
"Follow the order!" The six ministers kowtowed in unison.
The old emperor was at the end of his strength after writing the edict, and was soon sent to the palace where the Supreme Emperor lived, and the Tai Hospital was in charge of diagnosis and treatment.
And the six ministers all had important matters to attend to, and they were in a hurry to see Yu Hanzhou, so they also resigned one after another.
Only the former noble concubine who suddenly became the imperial concubine overnight looked at the old emperor's back speechlessly, not even wanting to catch up.
Heh, men are really unreliable, they keep saying that this palace is your little treasure, so don't be too tired, did you think of this palace when you made the edict?
Even Princess Huayi, an outsider disguised as a woman, and Yao Wulun, an eunuch, you remember in your heart, but you just don’t remember Bengong. Sure enough, everything comes first and then comes first.
It was Bengong who was naive, and shouldn't have nostalgia for the handsome face of the dog emperor, so that when they met today, a certain new lover looked at her so angry that his face turned green.
After all, she had to fight for the position of Queen Mother herself.
"Come on, go back to the palace!"
"Great concubine... Grand concubine, don't you want to guard Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty is not the only concubine in this palace. I have always pitied the other sisters for not being favored. Now that there is no empress to hinder it, it is time to win some opportunities for the younger sisters."
"Ah, yes, yes, the empress' painstaking efforts, other empresses will definitely remember them in their hearts."
"Well, go back first. Tomorrow, prepare some moderate food, and follow me to meet the future queen."
"Ah... Your Majesty, who is the Queen?"
"Idiot, the new emperor loves Prince An Ding, everyone knows it. Have you ever seen a man become a queen?"
"But...but Prince An Ding lived in seclusion in the past, and never had a close relationship with the empress."
"Where can friendship come from if you don't cultivate? What's more, the queen's talent is unparalleled in the world. I have always admired the queen, and I have rich experience in assisting the Sixth Palace. I should go to exchange it."
"Young lady is wise!"
……
Fu Cheng didn't know that he was about to usher in a concubine who was good at "cultivating feelings". At this moment, he lowered his head to observe his clothes, and after confirming that they were only more refined than before, and did not change the style and color, Only then secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It's nice not to have to go to work.
It seems that Yu Hanzhou became the emperor.
I just don't know how the old emperor got Yu Hanzhou to agree?
Fu Cheng rang the bell beside the bed, and the hidden guards and maids guarding outside immediately entered the hall.
The maid waited for Fu Cheng to wash up and put on his outer shirt. Seeing him buttoning his belt slowly and blessing him, she said: "Your Majesty is going to court, may Your Highness go and have a look?"
"Going to court?" Fu Cheng was startled, "Yu Hanzhou?"
"It's Your Majesty. Yesterday, His Majesty accepted the edict of the Supreme Emperor's succession. He didn't want to succeed to the throne. Unexpectedly, all the officials knelt down at the Meridian Gate, and His Majesty made a request, asking His Highness to participate in politics, and to seal His Highness as safe." Sui Wang, concurrently serving as the national teacher of this dynasty, revived the astrology school."
"Before His Majesty left today, he specially ordered the servants to report to His Highness. His Majesty also said that if His Majesty finds it troublesome, you can wait for him to come back."
"En." Fu Cheng nodded, then hesitated, "How long have I been asleep?"
"Your Highness slept for eight hours. In fact, halfway through... when His Majesty was washing and eating you, you woke up. It's just that you drank the medicine in a hurry yesterday, and the second course of treatment is more dangerous. Your Majesty is worried that His Majesty will not take it." After a while, I took some sleep aids.”
"I see." Fu Cheng replied, "I want to go out."
Hearing this, the maid hurriedly got up and stepped aside, and the hidden guard behind her came to help Fucheng.
When she got into the wheelchair and went out, Fu Cheng saw some unfamiliar scenery in the palace, and she just rested her chin in a lack of interest.
He lives in the Tai Chi Hall, the emperor's new dormitory. Yu Hanzhou has a bit of a cleanliness obsession, and he didn't use the palace where the Supreme Emperor lived, so even if it doesn't look as magnificent as the original one, Fu Cheng still thinks it is better than the previous one.
After all, he is used to living in the prime minister's mansion which is sober and low-key. The magnificent style of the imperial palace is shocking at first sight, but it is a bit eye-catching to live in, which is not conducive to health preservation.
Fu Cheng thought of the dragon couch she slept on... Turning her head, she said, "Remember to change the mattress and gauze curtains, and replace them with black ones."
"Yes." The maid was not worried that Yu Hanzhou would disagree, and only took Fu Cheng's wishes as the standard.
Anyway, if you lose your temper, His Majesty will bow your head.
