Chapter 865 Prince
The empress dowager was shocked, and a look of horror flashed in her eyes. The legend of "stepping on the seven stars" has the fate of the emperor, which is more convincing than Xiao Lang's blood. "How did Xiao Xun kneel barefoot in front of Linde's gate? How did you expose the soles of your feet to everyone in the world? Why, could it be that the seven-star Gu poison has been passed from the underworld to the underworld?"
Lu Rongzhao smiled and shook his head, "Of course not, but the seven-star Gu poison is poison after all. Since it is poison, there are ways to control it, and there are ways to get rid of it. Coincidentally, the emperor gave the eldest daughter of the Xie family to Ah Xun as his wife. Princess Duanxian has good medical skills, so it is very common for her husband to share a part or two for her husband."
She paused and said, "Besides, that day, my son Xiao Xun was a fish, and the empress dowager and the emperor were swordsmen. For so many years, we have lived with a big knife hanging on our heads. If we use some means to survive, I think the Buddha will do the same." bless!"
Lu Rongzhao took a deep breath, forced some tears from his eyes, and said in an extremely heavy voice, "Back then, Ah Lang was tortured by the seven-star poison, and suddenly one day, he recovered. At that moment, we knew that I was pregnant. There are joys and sorrows. The joy is that I have not had a child for many years, and finally I have a child. The sorrow is that this poison will be passed on to my son. This sorrow and joy has just been tasted, and Xiao Yan launched the palace change , for the child in my womb, no matter what, I will live on!"
The emperor closed his eyes, and he stretched out his hand towards the empress dowager, "Mother, prince..."
The empress dowager finally came to her senses, and looked at Lu Rongzhao with fierce eyes, "Although the late emperor appointed Xiao Lang as the crown prince, the late emperor died for no apparent reason. Xiao Lang was suspected of murdering the late emperor, and there was no succession edict. , In the end, it is wrong. No matter whether it is wrong or not, this road has come to this point, and you can't just ignore the country and society with your few words, and mess up the general rule!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't give Lu Rongzhao a chance to speak. She looked at Xiao Changyuan, and took out the blood-lettered edict written in Songjiang Sansuobu torn from her underwear, "Xiao Changyuan, your father named you the crown prince..."
Xiao Changyuan lowered his head and frowned. He took a step forward and knelt down. His hands and fingers were firmly digging at the cracks in the floor tiles. It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength to suppress his emotions. "Thank you, my lord..."
The empress dowager breathed a sigh of relief, "Get up, your father values ??you, and only you can bear this burden."
"The status of a son and minister is not noble enough, his virtue is not enough to convince the public, his talents are poor, and he can only be worthy of the position of the king of the county, not enough to bear the important responsibility of the family and the country!"
He raised his head, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes, "At the beginning, my mother begged my father to entrust my minister to Yunnan, so I didn't allow my son to covet the high position. I dare not forget my mother's will. Although my son did not talented, but not unfilial."
The empress dowager was shocked. She looked at Xiao Changyuan, then at Lu Rongzhao who had a flat expression, and snapped, "Is this what you mean? You disobeyed your father. Is this filial piety?"
"I don't dare, I don't have the ability. If I inherit the great rule in the future and can't manage the country, it will be disfilial to my ancestors!"
"Okay, okay, very good. The Ai family doesn't know that Yun Ni still has the ability to raise something like you!" The empress dowager sneered, "Xiao Changyao, what about you? Your brother has set a good example , do you want to follow suit?"
Concubine Jing was very nervous and looked at Xiao Changyao.
Xiao Changyao lowered his head and knelt beside Xiao Changyuan. He was about to speak, but the Empress Dowager didn't give him a chance, "A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a prince is the foundation of a country. If you want to learn from your elder brother at this time, let your father Where is the home, where is the country?"
Xiao Changyao didn't even think about it, "Grandmother, grandson has been studying since he was a child, and the Taifu said that a gentleman does not drink the water from a stolen spring, and his grandson has little fortune and talent.
Concubine Jing breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps the breath was too uncomfortable just now, everyone inside and outside the East Nuan Pavilion heard her exhale, and the Empress Dowager shot her eyes like sharp arrows, "Concubine Jing, you And raised a good son!"
Jing Concubine hurriedly knelt down, "Empress Dowager, concubines live deep in the harem, and have never had any contact with princes, concubines dare not take credit."
The empress dowager was so angry that she threw her breath on Xiao Xun, "You are really good-looking. In vain, Ai's family has loved you like a grandson for so many years. When you conquered Xiliang, Lu The Duke's Mansion guards the border for you, the Ai family and the emperor should have thought that the Duke Lu's mansion fell to your side, only then, the Ai family and the emperor trusted you so much."
Xiao Xun smiled, "Grandmother, is it possible that your grandson is not your own grandson? You are the successor of the late emperor. You don't treat your grandson as your own grandson, but your grandson dare not treat you as a grandmother."
He walked over, helped the two emperor brothers up, and asked, "Grandmother, do you still need to call the sixth and seventh princes over to ask? See if they have any thoughts about this great man?"
Xiao Changyuan didn't wait for Xiao Xun to speak, stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, among the brothers, no matter whether Ah Xun is literary or military, our brothers are hard to come by. It is the best result to pass on the ancestor's country to Ah Xun. Grandmother and father, please choose a worthy person to stand here, and put the country and the country first!"
"Shut up!" The Empress Dowager looked at Lu Rongzhao, "This is the result you want? Didn't you just say it righteously? Did Emperor Zhaoyang even give up his life for Jiangshan Sheji? What about now?"
Still smiling, Lu Rongzhao waited patiently for her to finish, and said, "Empress Dowager, the most important thing people should learn in this life is to judge the situation. This throne is not a public weapon. You said that the late emperor died unclearly. Why don't you ask the emperor? How did the first emperor die? You said that the first emperor did not leave an edict to inherit the throne, why don't you ask the emperor, where did the edict go?"
These words shocked the hearts of those who didn't know the truth, and the faces of several old courtiers became hot. If the matter of Concubine Xue was revealed, it would be a heinous scandal.
Does the royal family still have dignity?
The look on the Empress Dowager's face couldn't hold back any longer, she felt terrified for a while, but Lu Rongzhao said, "I won't be explicit about some things, my husband succeeded to the throne justifiably, my son is on the Seven Stars, half of Dayong's country He was the one who brought it down, so don't tell me that my mother and son are going to hand over the throne to our sworn enemies?"
Her voice suddenly softened again, "Empress Dowager, if you don't cherish God's remembrance, you will be punished by God!"
I don't know if I'm explaining this, or warning someone?
Xie Tiao knelt on the ground. He was too old to kneel, and the weather was cold. He didn't want to get sick, so he turned his head and glanced at Zeng Shiyi. After the two looked at each other, Zeng Shiyi coughed uncomfortably. One voice, "Follow you!"
The first update!
