Vol 4 Chapter 28: Prince Sealed

The queen had been at odds with Concubine Yue for many years, no one knew, no one knew, it was not surprising that the queen simply rejected King Jin’s proposal.
The emperor glanced at King Jin, then at Lin Zhixiao, then at the waste crown prince, then turned to the queen, and said in a deep voice, "You really make sense, Yue Guifei has committed many crimes, and I hate it with anger. The prince is selfish. Xiaojiu changed her back with my alien son. She grew up in the Lin family for many years, did not grow up by my side, and was even more unfamiliar with the court situation and did not train. If she rashly becomes the crown prince, she is irresponsible to the ancestors' Jiangshan foundation. , I am not even a qualified emperor."
As soon as he said this, he agreed with the Queen's words.
The empress looked at the emperor unexpectedly. Since she entered the palace, for many years, because the Xu family is one and two queens, the governor does not know how to avoid the new emperor's edge, boasting that she is a maternal uncle and father-in-law Taishan. In front of the emperor, he has always been entrusted. After the emperor took office, the contradiction deepened, so that the royal family and foreign relatives were incompatible, fighting for many years.
As a queen, she admired the emperor since she was a child, but the emperor didn’t like her very much and alienated her. She used to be young and ignorant. She couldn’t understand the growing situation of the emperor’s hatred of the Xu family. She relied on her family’s inheritance to do whatever she wanted in the harem. As for the emperor, he alienated her and hated her. If things go on like this, she will bear bad reputations such as being unworthy, untalented, unethical, and jealous.
Since Xu's family was thrown into the jail, and out of the jail without any risk, the governor retreated and looked away. She also understood many things.
Today, this is the first time that the emperor agrees with her. She looked at the emperor, and a lot of grievances rushed to her heart for a while, but she was always strong, and was desperately suppressed, turned her head, bowed to her knees and said, "The concubine is exhausted, Rong Chen The concubine retires."
The emperor looked at the empress and was full of emotion for a time. He thought that Concubine Yue was as good as a white rabbit, but he did not expect that carrying her on his back would be like a tiger wolf and commit countless crimes. He thought the empress had a crooked and evil spirit. , But if you count it, it is even less than one or two of the eleven Yue Guifei.
He sighed secretly and said gently, "Every Chinese New Year, arrange a New Year’s Eve banquet, you will be extremely tired. Since you are tired, go back and rest. Turn back, I will ask the imperial physician to go to your palace and prescribe you a prescription. After the new year, take care of it."
The queen's eyes wet and she smiled, "The concubine listens to the emperor."
At this time, the Queen Mother stood up and said, "The Ai family is also exhausted, and the major affairs of the government and society cannot be controlled by the Ai family. Since Ye Shizi suggested that Liu Yan be brought to the Ai family to teach, the Ai family's bones are still strong, but With some spare energy to share the worries for the emperor, this matter should be taken down." The words fell, and said to King Jin, "but the Aijia teaches that the children will be stricter than the emperor, Jin Wang should not bear to feel bad, and soon come to the Aijia important person."
The king of Jin quickly said, "It is Liu Yan's blessing to be able to teach with the Queen Mother, the stricter the better."
Seeing that King Jin had no objection to her teaching Liu Yan, the queen mother went out of the warm pavilion with the queen and drove back to the palace.
After the two left, the emperor said to the people, "In this case, it is decided that the prince and Lin Zhixiao are twins. Today, since they are returned to the palace, they have to change their names and enter the royal jade medallion, ranking second. The princes used the same analogy to inform the world."
Everyone nodded and had no opinion.
The emperor expressed filial piety to Lin Zhi, "The Lin family has a great kindness to support you. I reserve the character of filial piety for you and give you the name Liu Xiao."
Lin Zhixiao knelt immediately, "Thank you, the emperor for giving the name."
The emperor said, "You will live in Xixiayuan of the imperial palace for the time being, and I will seal the mansion for you in the next year."
Lin Zhixiao thanked him again, "Thank you, the emperor."
King Jin said, "Second prince, it's time to change his name to the father."
Lin Zhixiao bowed his head and immediately changed his words, "Thank you, Father."
The emperor stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, but when he saw his look and eyes somewhat similar to Concubine Yue, he gave up and said tiredly, "Koizumi, take the second prince to the Shaode Hall for a while. Regulations are given to the queen mother and queen, and to arrange people to wait."
"Yes." Koizumiko answered, opened the curtain, bowed respectfully, "Second prince please."
Lin Zhixiao retired and left the Nuan Pavilion with Xiaoquanzi.
After he left, the emperor looked at the waste prince and looked at him carefully, and found that for so many years, how could he have neglected, he was obviously not like him, nor like the concubine Yue. It really resembles Patriarch Lin. But after all he has been spoiled for many years, and now he is physically disabled and mentally disabled, to this point, it is all because he sits as a prince who does not belong to him. There is always a relationship between father and son, and he doesn’t deal with him, so he asks,
Even if you lose your memory, it’s been half a year now. After today’s event, now you should understand some cause and effect, and you still want to go. Lingyun Temple is a monk?"
After being at a loss for a moment, the abandoned prince nodded, "I am like this, and I will only serve the Buddha all my life."
The emperor heard the words, "Since you still want to become a monk, I think your illness is fine, so let's set off today."
The waste prince knelt on the ground and knocked three heads, "Thank you for the emperor's grace."
The emperor waved his hand, and the waste prince left the warm pavilion.
After the major event was negotiated, the emperor immediately ordered someone to draw up a decree, post a list and post an article to inform the world. Since then, the Nanqi imperial family has added a second prince Liu Xiao.
After the group left the palace, Ye Chang said to Xu Yunchu, "It's cold, Uncle Xiaoguo go to my house for a drink?"
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Okay."
The two got into the carriage and headed to Rong'an Palace together.
After the two left, the prime minister asked the bachelor of the king, "Master Wang, go sit in my house? I had some experience from the "Zhiping Fu" of the sages and sages yesterday. You and I will discuss it together."
Wang Lu nodded. "it is good."
After the two left, the six Shangshu also invited each other and left together.
Not long after he left the palace gate, King Jin was left alone.
King Jin stood at the gate of the palace and glanced back and forth. In a short time, he had already left together, leaving him alone. He looked back at the palace gate. After everyone came out, the palace gate was closed again. He felt that something was wrong for a while, and after a while, he suddenly realized that for many years, except for the people of the clan, the ministers in the court had no close friendship, but because of this, he, the prince, was able to sit securely. The position of the prince, not to be a party courtier, not to be jealous of the emperor, stayed in the capital for many years.
He stopped for a while, put aside some thoughts in his mind, and drove back to Prince Jin's Mansion.
The emperor’s notice to the world was posted all over the capital after everyone left the palace, and some people rode fast to each state, county and county.
The people gathered in front of the list and were surprised. They didn't expect that the second son of Lin Mansion was the second son of the emperor.
The courtiers were even more moved by the wind. Some people thought about whether they had offended the second prince, some thought about how to establish friendship with the second prince, and some thought that the prince had just passed away, so they took back the second prince, the emperor. Apart from him, there is no adult prince suitable for training. Maybe he will be the master of the next generation of Southern Qi Jiangshan, with a promising future.
Su Fengnuan left the palace, and when he returned to Su Mansion, he rested with exhaustion, naturally not knowing the lively scene outside.
Madam Su was waiting for the news that General Su returned to Beijing, but she did not expect to wait for the news that Lin Zhixiao was the second prince. She was equally surprised. Originally planned to go to Feng Nuan Pavilion to ask Su Feng Nuan, but when she came back from the palace, she looked exhausted and looked very bad, so she gave up.
At very late night, General Su was escorted into Beijing.
Mrs. Su greeted the gate of the mansion happily. General Su was intercepted and seriously injured. After being killed by Qiuhua’s parents, he only recovered for a few days before setting off for Beijing. Although he was injured deliberately along the way Slowing down, but in the end it was a journey in the winter, and the injury was good and slow. After arriving in the capital, it was even more exhausted, lying on the carriage and unable to get up.
When the carriage came to the gate of the mansion, someone had to carry it on a stretcher to get off the carriage.
When Mrs. Su saw such a General Su, she wiped tears with distress.
General Su hadn’t seen Madam Su for a year. Seeing that she was as beautiful as before, as beautiful as a flower, and her delicate face was still the same, he stretched out his hand and smiled and held his hand, and said softly, "Madam will not cry, and come back alive for the sake of her husband. Fortunately, the injury will heal sooner or later."
Madam Su followed the stretcher, was held by General Su, smiled with tears, and nodded again and again, "I know, I know, you can come back."
The stretcher lifted its head and feet into the main courtyard, and a shout came from outside the back foot, "Here is the emperor!"
Just as Mrs. Su stepped into the threshold, she was startled when she heard the sound.
Su Che said quickly, "Quickly, lift me to the door and drive."
Mrs. Su did not expect that the emperor came to Su Mansion, and immediately said distressedly, "You don’t have to go to the door to welcome you, right? Ask someone to put you on the bed and rest. I will take someone to the door to meet and drive. Up."
Su Che categorically said, "No, I just returned to Beijing, and the emperor loved his ministers personally. How could I disrespect the emperor? If you treat your ministers seriously, how can your ministers treat you lightly? Quick, lift me!"
Madam Su was helpless, and ordered people to carry General Su back to the gate of the mansion.
Su Che's stretcher had just turned halfway, and the emperor had no use to greet him, and he had hurried into the mansion.
The ruler met halfway through.
Su Che could only lie on a stretcher and couldn't get up. When he saw the emperor, he said anxiously, "The emperor can atone for his sins. The ministers can't bow and bow."
The emperor came to the stretcher in a few steps, Madam Su immediately stepped back and avoided. As soon as he grasped Su Che's hand, he continued to say, "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, you have worked so hard, and I want to thank you for the thousands of people in Nanqi. you."
