Chapter 14 Memorial
Zhang Qiu Taiyi and Lu Mulin arrived soon. When they saw the expression on Yang Yong's face, they were both shocked and premonitioned that something big happened. Lu Mulin hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"
After Yang Yong waved his hand and asked everyone to go down, he slowly said: "Yes, a letter from the capital has come into disagreement with his father and mother. Now there are rumors in the capital that his father is discouraged and intends to abdicate."
"What, abdication?" Both of them were shocked, and then their faces showed joy. When the prince ascended the throne, they naturally rose. However, Zhang Qiu Taiyi immediately frowned and shook his head and said, "No, Your Highness must not agree to the emperor's abdication."
Lu Mulin asked in confusion: "Why? Since the emperor has taken the initiative to abdicate, why is Your Highness unacceptable?"
Zhang Qiu Taiyi said coldly: "The emperor and the queen have always respected each other as guests. Suddenly, news of the incongregation of peace will be heard. Even if it is true, they will soon reconcile. The emperor is tenacious and has been in power for more than ten years and has been in power. How could he be discouraged because of a small matter like a couple? The words of abdication are mostly temporary. The prince's current status is extremely stable. After the emperor's thousand years of age, he can naturally become the emperor. Why be so anxious? It makes the emperor disgusted for nothing."
"This... you mean the emperor deliberately..." Lu Mulin did not dare to continue to say the following words. Although they were the prince's confidants, they did not dare to take the responsibility of divising the relationship between the prince and the emperor, and doubted the emperor for no reason.
To be honest, Yang Yong felt a sense of ecstasy when he just finished reading the letter. Over the years, in order to be the prince, he has been careful and tried to please the emperor and the queen. After building Renshou Palace, he built Luoyang himself. However, the memories of his previous life have been heavy on him. He finally became an abolished prince. Although he tried not to think about it, he still dreamed that he was deposed several times and finally woke up in fear.
If Yang Jian could abdicate now, he would undoubtedly break the fate of history. He would no longer have to worry about being deposed. But Yang Yong immediately woke up. Even though he was not good at history in his previous life, after getting along for more than ten years, does he still understand who his father is? How could he easily give up his power and abdicate?
The more Yang Yong thought about it, the colder he became. Could it be that his father was so suspicious of himself? Hearing Lu Mulin's hesitant words, he could only comfort himself. Now everything is just speculation, and maybe things are not that bad.
"Your Highness, why did the Emperor and the Queen get in harmony?" Zhang Qiu Taiyi asked calmly.
Zhang Qiu Taiyi's question choked Yang Yong, glared at Zhang Qiu Taiyi, and Yang Yong said, "It is said that it was because his mother's mother killed a talented man from Renshou Palace."
After Yang Yong said this, Zhang Qiu Taiyi and Lu Mulin suddenly realized that the queen's jealous nature can be said to be known to all officials, but this matter was too ridiculous to the emperor's abdication. If it was spread, the queen's reputation would be ruined by the people. No wonder the prince was unwilling to explain in detail.
Zhang Qiu Taiyi shook the whisk in his hand and said, "That's right, no matter whether the emperor really wants to abdicate, your highness just needs to firmly refuse."
"Of course I understand that the father and mother and queen have lost peace. As a son of man, what I think about at this moment is not the throne, but should try to make the father and queen reconcile, otherwise it will be detrimental to the country and the family!"
Lu Mulin said worriedly: "Your Highness is filial, but I am afraid that someone in the capital will be ungrateful, so I jump out and sway the flag and shout for Your Highness. If that happens, it will not only cause bad luck to you, but will also implicate Your Highness."
Yang Yong frowned when he heard this. This is what he was worried about. Those who came out to shake flags and shouted may not be officials who truly care about the East Palace. There are always some people who like to speculate in the world. If someone thinks that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and wants to take the opportunity to please the East Palace and submit a complaint to the emperor to abdicate, such a person is certainly not to be a pity, but he has caused himself a big trouble. Yang Yong couldn't help but feel a little glad that he is in Luoyang now, otherwise the East Palace would definitely be surrounded by many officials who want to speculate.
"Okay, this happened three days ago. I have to react, and at least it will take more than ten days to do it. If the father just becomes erect for a while, it will naturally disappear in a few days. If the father really sends someone to pass the order, let's talk about it when the person arrives."
There are pros and cons to not being in the capital. The advantage is that Yang Yong does not need to respond immediately to this matter. If you take a boat from the capital to Luoyang, it will take at least half a month. If you ride a horse and don’t hurry, ten days will be too soon. Yang Yong has a lot of time to consider it calmly, and the disadvantages are also obvious. If Yang Yong is in the capital, he can naturally express his attitude immediately and eliminate the speculative behavior of some officials.
As the drought was lifted, some young and middle-aged people who participated in the construction of Luoyang City last year returned, and the capital became prosperous again. The inside and outside the city were full of vitality, and the rice prices had fallen back to the level of 89,000 yuan per dou. In addition, the various weaving factories were basically in an expansion state after the Chinese New Year, and there were opportunities for work everywhere. The people's homes were somewhat surplus, and the villagers in the village were happy to greet each other when they met.
In contrast to the ordinary people in the city, the Beijing officials were confused these two days. The emperor suddenly announced his abdication to the crown prince in the morning court. What was going on? As long as the officials with a little intelligence, they knew how terrible the dispute over the throne was. Although the emperor himself said he wanted to abdicate, he was no different from asking for death without understanding the causes and consequences.
However, there is always nothing wrong with admonition to the emperor. As soon as the emperor said the words, all the officials immediately knelt down, and many officials even cried bitterly, and the emperor could not abdicate, otherwise it would be a move to shake the foundation of the country.
However, the emperor seemed to have eaten the chess and was determined to abdicate. He drafted an order on the spot and sent an imperial envoy to Luoyang at an expedition of 800 miles. He told the prince to come to Beijing, and recruited Tongmiao Zhenren Guangyuan and the Guardian Master Tan Chong to prepare for the method of opening the altar, calculate the auspicious day of the good way, and determine the time for abdication.
After this pretentiousness, no one could understand the emperor's true intentions. Many people who had previously strongly opposed it could not help but remain silent. If the emperor truly abdicated, if their opposition is too fierce and spread to the prince, who knows what the prince would think, and will he wear them after he ascended to the extreme?
In this way, after the emperor returned from Renshou Palace, the first morning court ended dull. As soon as the court came, all the ministers asked each other about what happened in Renshou Palace and why the emperor suddenly wanted to abdicate.
Yang Jian only brought a few eunuchs to Linfang Hall, and Dugu knew immediately. At least hundreds of people knew about the cause of the emperor's misfortune and the empress, so naturally they could not keep the secret. Soon everyone knew the cause and effect, but they knew it, but they did not help the emperor's true abdication, and beauty was in trouble. In ancient times, many heroes were trapped in the word "sex". The emperor endured for so many years, and his beloved woman was killed by the empress. It was not impossible to really abdicate.
"Mr. Han, the emperor is going to abdicate. I wonder what Lord Han thinks?"
"Yes, the emperor relies on the emperor the most. Whether the emperor's abdication this time is true or false. You should also reveal it to us so that we can prepare early."
...
Han Qinhu's mansion in the Shangzhu Kingdom is now full of military generals. Most of these people are illiterate. Although they are brave on the battlefield, they are not good at intrigue and are not smart about the emperor's actions. They should have asked Gao Ying and Su Wei, but civil and military people are naturally separated. They can sit in this position with real guns and swords. They are far from just talking to those civil officials. The civil officials also think these people are rude and cannot talk about them at all.
Han Qinhu coughed his throat. Seeing so many generals and generals looking at him, they couldn't help but feel a little proud. Since he followed the prince to unify Jiangnan, everyone knew that Han Qinhu was the direct line among the Eastern Palace's direct line. Now his son and nephew have taken important positions under the recommendation of the prince. These generals did not look for King Wei or He Ruobi, but only found him, which clearly attracted the close relationship with the prince.
"This, don't worry, Your Highness is still in Luoyang, so it's not too late to wait for Your Highness to come back if you have anything to do." For Han Qinhu, no matter whether the emperor retreats or not, his status will not be affected, so he will naturally not express his opinion easily.
"Oh." Most people sighed, not satisfied with Han Qinhu's answer. However, Han Qinhu did not express his opinion, and they could not force Han Qinhu to express his opinion.
Yang Jian sat in the imperial study room and looked through the memorials. Most of these memorials were to persuade the emperor to think twice, not to abdicate easily, and shake the foundation of the country. There was no new meaning, but Yang Jian read it with relish.
An old eunuch came to Yang Jian tremblingly and said softly: "Emperor, the queen is asking for a visit outside."
Yang Jian didn't raise his head: "I won't see you!"
"Yes." The old eunuch had to go down.
Dugu was anxiously waiting outside the door. If she wanted to see the emperor after the change, she would not need anyone to inform her. But the emperor's anger had not yet subsided. Dugu just patiently asked for a visit over and over again.
The one who is most anxious about the emperor's abdication was Dugu. She cursed Chen Cairen in her heart countless times. This bitch, I don't know what kind of charming method he used, will make her husband so fascinated in just four or five days that even the emperor doesn't want to do it.
Dugu did not regret the death of Chen Cairen. The emperor's reaction was so great. If he had been able to survive for a while, wouldn't he have to ride on her as the queen? Such a fox charming person would die well. The only trouble for death is how to deal with the aftermath.
But when the couple used to be stingy, the method of trying all the powers would be tried. This time, it didn't work. After the princess entered the palace, although the emperor met, the emperor immediately shook his sleeves when he mentioned the queen. Dugu had no choice but to go out and asked to see the emperor again and again.
Seeing the old eunuch come out, Dugu immediately asked with hope: "Eunuch Lu, how about the emperor? Will you be willing to receive this palace?"
Old Eunuch Lu shook his head: "Report to the Empress, the Emperor is reviewing the memorial and ordered no one to see him."
"What are the memorials? Since he wants to abdicate, he still has memorials. Why not be his Supreme Emperor of Xiaoyao? If anyone doesn't see me, I will break in and take a look." There were two days on the way back to Beijing from Renshou Palace. Today is the second day after returning to Beijing. In total, four days have passed. In the past, couples will make up for one or two days in a row. Unexpectedly, the emperor still doesn't want to see her after four days. Dugu feels unbearable.
The eunuch Lu and the palace maid next to him were eager to stuff their ears. These words were not what they should have heard, and they would cause trouble if they were not careful. Dugu finally spoke to himself a few words, but in the end he did not break in and chose to leave, which made the frightened palace maids relieved.
"The queen is back?" the emperor asked
"Go back to Your Majesty, the Queen has already gone back." Old Eunuch Lu replied.
Yang Jian raised his head, with no anger on his face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that the emperor was not still angry. Yang Jian looked in a clear mood: "Okay, don't worry about her anymore. Take the rest of the memorials and I will finish reading them together."
"Back to Your Majesty, there are only so many memorials today, and I have brought them all." Old Eunuch Lu said respectfully.
"That's all?" Yang Jian turned it up again in the memorial. After turning it over, his face became extremely ugly, and his eyes stared at the old eunuch: "Lu Shiyang, are you sure that all the memorials of today have been taken over, and there are no omissions?"
The old eunuch was so scared that he knelt down and said, "Go back to the emperor, I dare not hide it even if I have the courage to do so."
"Get up, I don't dare to do it."
"Yes, the emperor is wise." Old Eunuch Lu stood up again, recalling the emperor's appearance just now, and asked carefully: "Who is your majesty looking for?"
Yang Jian glared at him coldly: "Don't ask more questions if you shouldn't care about it?"
