Chapter Sixteen
Chapter 16 Yu Zi
In Ganlu Palace, Dugu was telling Yuan Qing'er about his grievances: "... men are all unlucky people. When I and the emperor had sex, they vowed not to have half-sons. Look, now that I am just a slut to death, the emperor is furious and wants to abdicate."
"Mother, I am incompetent and cannot persuade the emperor." Yuan Qing'er lowered her head and said.
"Hmph, the Crown Princess doesn't have to care. I have already confessed to him. But this foolish lord doesn't listen to his loyal advice, so he will make trouble."
"But the emperor is now about to abdicate, what should we do?"
"Abdicate? If he wants to abdicate, let him abdicate. I will be the empress dowager, so you can be the queen." Dugu was really panicked when he heard that the emperor wanted to abdicate. However, the so-called husband is better than wife. Yang Jian had what he thought about for nearly thirty years. Dugu could guess what he thought without thinking, but he could not say it clearly to his daughter-in-law.
Yuan Qing'er was shocked: "Mother, my son-in-law never had this idea. My father was in full swing in spring and autumn, and he could be the emperor for at least decades."
"You don't have to panic. This is the emperor's own business. You don't have to worry about it, nor do you have to worry about it."
"yes!"
"Oh, I gave birth to five sons for this foolish monarch, but I still can't stop the lustful monarch from now on. Crown Princess, you have no descendants yet. What should I do if you reach this age in the future?" Dugu suddenly felt sympathy for his daughter-in-law again.
Without a son, Yuan Qing'er has always been a heart-wrenching problem. When Dugu mentioned it, Yuan Qing'er was also depressed and forced a smile: "Report to the Queen Mother, the prince is very nice to the child."
"Okay, what's the good thing? Crown Princess, don't be confused. When you were young, the foolish monarch was the same as me. What about now? You can't understand it now. It's too late to regret it when you reach this age of me."
"What should the mother, what should the child do?" Yuan Qing'er was attracted by Dugu's words before he knew it, and forgot that he was here to comfort the queen.
"Most men in the world are greedy for the sake of the rivers. You are the crown princess, so you must set rules for the Eastern Palace..."
A palace maid hurried over and interrupted the conversation between the two: "Empress, the emperor is here, the emperor is here."
"When you go out, who will allow you to come in?" Dugu was furious first, then he was happy: "What did you say, the emperor is here?"
"That's right, the emperor is coming here." The palace maid also nodded happily. In the past few days, the emperor and the queen have been angry. All of them are trembling. At the least, they are scolded and beaten. Now that they see the emperor coming in person, the emperor and the queen have reconciled again, they don't have to be so afraid every day.
Dugu stood up suddenly, but immediately sat down again and said, "I'll come when I'm here, what's so strange?"
Seeing the emperor stepping into the Ganlu Palace, Yuan Qing'er quickly got up and knelt down: "Son-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me
"The Crown Princess is exempt from gifts."
"Thank you, my father, I'm leaving." Yuan Qing'er felt relieved when she saw Yang Jian's face with a smile. The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, so she naturally didn't have to stay in the hall to act as a third party.
"No need, I come over and say a few words to the queen and leave. The crown princess can also persuade the queen to avoid being angry."
Yuan Qing'er was shocked when she heard this. Didn't the emperor come here to make peace with the queen? She had to stand aside.
"Empress, I have something to notify you. Chen Cairen is not dead. You are not killing Chen Cairen. This is also God's will. I have already named her Mrs. Xuanhua, and the decree will be sent to Renshou Palace tomorrow. From tomorrow, Mrs. Xuanhua will be the master of Renshou Palace. The queen is the lord of the six palaces. If you want to go to Renshou Palace, it is natural. However, Linfang Palace belongs to Mrs. Xuanhua. If it is okay, the queen should not go." The emperor's voice was inevitably proud.
Yuan Qing'er was confused when she heard this. The emperor was indeed not trying to make up with the queen. Dugu's hand trembled and pointed at the emperor: "Hello Yang Jian..."
"Hmph!" Looking at Dugu's expression, although Yang Jian showed a hint of unbearable expression on his face, he still shook his sleeves and ignored them and stepped out of the Ganlu Palace again.
"Now Luoding, do you want to forget our oath?" Dugu's quarrel voice came from behind.
When Yang Jian heard Dugu call his nickname, he paused for a moment and finally walked out.
"Bang, bang." The sound of porcelain smashing to the ground came from the Ganlu Hall.
Although Dugu almost threw away most of the things in her bedroom, the road was already in a hurry, and even if she opposed it, it would be useless. Moreover, she was too irresistible with the emperor, and the queen who suffered the final loss was her. Under Yuan Qing'er's persuasion, Dugu had to knock down his front teeth and swallow it inward, and finally pinched his nose and accepted it.
On the Shangzhu Mansion, Han Qinhu sent all the generals away. It was already dark. Lights were lit in the mansion. Han Qinhu suddenly slapped his head: "Oh, no, I forgot to send the memorials I had written into the palace today."
Although Han Qinhu was extremely upset, the palace gate was closed at this time, and he could not even send it off, so he had to wait for tomorrow. However, as soon as he went to court the next day, it was suddenly heard that Chen Cairen was not dead and was named Mrs. Xuanhua by the emperor. Since the emperor named Chen Cairen to become Mrs. Xuanhua, the so-called abdication naturally passed, and Han Qinhu's memorial to the emperor was still not sent.
In Luoyang, the Qin envoy who was about to wait for Yang Yong did not come in the end. He asked Yang Jian to chase him back halfway. Although Yang Yong was disappointed, he breathed a sigh of relief. His father was not too suspicious of his son, otherwise he would not have recovered the Qin envoy. But looking at Yang Yue's name in the secret letter made Yang Yong frown. Yang Yue had been promoted from a manager of Renshou Palace to the general manager of Renshou Palace.
"What do you think about this?" Yang Yong asked Zhang Qiu Taiyi and Lu Mulin.
Zhang Qiu Taiyi frowned: "Your Highness, Mrs. Xuan Hua is young and beautiful. I am afraid that the harem will be uneasy in the future. It is a taboo for Your Highness. Moreover, Yang Yue has a grudge against Your Highness to kill his brother. Yang Yue has a life-saving grace to Mrs. Xuan Hua. If the two of them join forces to destroy Your Highness in front of the emperor, over time, I am afraid that Your Highness will have a lot of trouble."
"Yes, I am also worried about this." Yang Yong said helplessly.
Yang Yong never underestimated the enemy. When Yang Yue took the initiative to enter the palace, Yang Yong guessed that Yang Yue must be unwilling to accept Yang Su's death and wanted to make a secret trick. Yang Yong started to ask someone to monitor Yang Yue. If Yang Yue had not had a special identity, he would have died in the palace. When Yang Yue climbed to the position of the deputy general manager of the imperial study room, Yang Yong just casually instructed a few people to take action, and immediately made Yang Yue fall a big fall.
Originally, Yang Yue would die quietly in the palace after a month or two, but he didn't expect that someone would secretly protect Yang Yue, and out of careful consideration, he didn't take action. He thought that Yang Yue was not going to be relieved, but he didn't expect that he would climb up again after just a few years.
"It's a pity that I would rather expose a few people and kill him." Lu Mulin said regretfully.
If you want to kill Yang Yue now, there is actually no problem. It’s just that the price you paid is too high and it’s a bit unworthy of the loss. Yang Yong had to throw his regret to Lu Mulin aside for the time being.
"By the way, does this Mrs. Xuanhua have many brothers and sisters? Check who she has the best relationship with?" Yang Yong suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he remembered that when he destroyed Chen, he was a military supervisor. Naturally, he knew that the princess of Chen State had a large number of princes, but the relationship in the palace was complicated. Not all brothers and sisters would have family affection. Some people might even hate him to the core.
"Yes, I will deal with it immediately." Lu Mulin responded quickly.
"Your Highness, Mrs. Xuanhua is important, but Yang Su's sons are now on the border. Will Your Highness cut off the roots?" Zhang Qiu Taiyi's face showed a hint of cruelty, without the compassion of a monk.
Yang Su's five sons, the eldest, Yang Xuangan, and the other four sons were Yang Xuanzhao, Yang Xuanzong, Yang Wanshi and Yang Jishan. When Yang Su died, Yang Xuangan was already the third sect of Kaifu Yitong Sansi at the age of 18. Because Yang Su was involved in treason, Yang Xuangan's brothers were also deprived of all positions and were sent to the tent of King Yang Hong of Hejian to be a garrison.
King Yang Hong of Hejian was stationed in Wuwei County, which was only 500 miles away from Qinghai. He often had to face the invasion of Tuguhun people. The garrison soldiers were equal to cannon fodder. When they were sent, Yang Xuangan was only eighteen years old, and the youngest Yang Jishan was only six or seven years old. Not to mention that he wanted to survive on the battlefield, it was still unknown whether he could reach Wuwei. The prince's mansion naturally did not do anything and directly classified these people into the ranks of dead people.
Now seven years have passed. If Yang Yue had not been trusted by the emperor again, Yang Yong would have almost forgotten Yang Su's sons. After all, without Yang Su, Yang Xuangan's brothers were too young. Even if they survived, Yang Yong would not have to worry about it. In history, Yang Xuangan was the Shangzhu Kingdom and could not cause much storm. He was defeated and died after rebelling for several months. This was still the case when Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo and the country was empty. Why should Yang Yong be afraid of a small Yang Xuangan?
