famous eldest daughter

Chapter 1120 Crown Prince
Except for Tao Ye and the commander of the forbidden army, whose expressions remained unchanged and stood at the front of the crowd, almost everyone else's expressions suddenly changed after Concubine Hui's words fell.

"The empress said that His Majesty died suddenly?"

A trembling voice burst out of his throat, carrying great sorrow and uncontrollable fear.

With tears in her eyes, Concubine Hui looked at the questioning minister, bit her lip and nodded, "The Queen Mother died suddenly. The Emperor could not withstand this blow for a while. He was in severe pain and heartbroken..."

In order to protect the emperor's face, this was the best explanation that Concubine Hui and the commander of the imperial army came up with.

The Queen Mother died of illness, and the Emperor could not bear the grief... In this way, no matter what else, the reputation of a filial son was fulfilled.

"I heard from the chief chamberlain that on New Year's Eve, Your Majesty received news that the vassal king Nan'an secretly entered the capital with a large number of private soldiers. Your Majesty has been worried about excess for the past few days... then..."

As soon as this remark came out, after the news of the death of the emperor and the queen mother was announced, it was undoubtedly another thunderstorm, which immediately caused an uproar among the courtiers.

Everyone was given a relatively long time to discuss. When everyone finally confirmed the authenticity of the matter from the commander of the Forbidden Army and the head chamberlain, and accepted the shocking news, Concubine Hui took Gu Yuqing knelt down.

This kneeling caused all the courtiers to shout, "Not only does Concubine Hui have a noble status, but her swollen belly is His Majesty's posthumous child!"

After being stunned, everyone hurriedly knelt down.

However, Concubine Hui stopped her with tears in her eyes, "Everyone, please listen to what I have to say."

The voice is sad, and removing this palace and using me directly makes it even more sad to hear.

"Now, the Queen Mother has passed away suddenly, and Your Majesty has followed the Queen Mother. The whole country is mourning. King Nan'an is uneasy and has a wolf-like heart, eyeing the throne. I have always been deeply favored by Your Majesty, although I have the intention to protect this dynasty for Your Majesty. The situation is in jeopardy, but I am just a woman with insufficient knowledge and ability. The safety of the people and the stability of the government are all in my hands, so I leave it to you!"

With tears in her eyes, Concubine Hui paid her respects to all the courtiers.

Behind her, Gu Yuqing's eyes were also red and swollen, and he knelt down and bowed, "The empress dowager has always favored me, but now that her old man has passed away, I can't do anything about it. I just hope that you can help the new emperor to keep this country safe, so that her old man can get along with her with peace of mind." Eyes, if someone can get the Chinanhou Mansion, I will not hesitate to die!"

Gu Yuqing is the prospective daughter-in-law of Concubine Hui.

At this time, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, one behind the other, were performing such a ceremony of worship. One was the beloved concubine who was favored by the whole palace, and the other was the eldest daughter of Gu Zhen, Marquis of Chinan, the future queen, and the courtiers of the court. How could I can bear such a gift.

After listening to the words of Concubine Hui and Gu Yuqing like sitting on pins and needles, a senior official with great prestige in the court stepped forward with tears in his eyes and helped Concubine Hui modestly, "My lady, please rise up, my lady's gift, how can humble officials be worthy of it!"

Concubine Hui said firmly, "You all deserve this gift from me. Without your support, it will be difficult for the new emperor to secure his position in the dynasty. Whether the people are stable, whether the world is peaceful, and whether the imperial power is protected, these important tasks all depend on On your shoulders, I am just kneeling down to beg for your support, but you have to devote all your energy to me. This kind of kneeling ceremony is really insignificant."

Concubine Hui's sincerity allowed the ministers of the court to breathe a sigh of relief after learning that the emperor and queen mother had died suddenly.

Looking at the pitiful and upright Concubine Hui, who was dressed in plain clothes without any decorations, she couldn't help but feel compassion in her heart.

As soon as the emperor left, they were orphans and widowed mothers... If the King of Nan'an really succeeds in his treacherous scheme, not to mention the state of the court and the state of the world, His Majesty, the heir of the harem alone, may be the first to suffer all kinds of humiliation.

The old minister who stepped forward to support Concubine Hui sighed deeply, "In this way, I have the courage to accept the worship of the empress. The empress can rest assured that I will never allow this imperial power to fall into the hands of any vassal king."

The other ministers followed suit, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the ministers will do their best to assist the new king."

In this way, Concubine Hui stood up weakly with the help of Gu Yuqing.

She was pregnant with Liujia and had not been able to rest for the past few days. Concubine Hui's weakness was not fake, she was really tired!
He leaned on Gu Yuqing and let her help him sit down.

Watching her sit down, a minister said: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother ascended to heaven together. This kind of funeral is unprecedented. Your Majesty should quickly appoint a person who is fully responsible for this matter so that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother can be buried."

Tao Ye raised his eyes that had been lowered before, with a solemn expression on his face, and said: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. We should take advantage of King Nan'an's lack of action to quickly establish the crown prince."

The person who spoke before immediately retorted, "Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager's bones are not yet cold. If you don't bury them immediately, you have to appoint the crown prince first. It is really disrespectful to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

Tao Ye immediately gave the man a very "frank" look.

"In the past dynasties, when the emperor died, the prince would attend the funeral and bury him personally. If the crown prince was not chosen first, wouldn't our Majesty be different from the previous emperors? You know what your Majesty's nature is. Do you think your Majesty can Are you at ease?"

Our Majesty values ​​face the most!
The minister was speechless by Tao Ye's words.

Although he felt uncomfortable when Tao Ye glared at him, he had to admit that Tao Ye was right.

One is to support the mourning, and the other is that a country cannot live without a king for a day.

Such a big matter, if there is not someone who is different from everyone and far above everyone to lead it, there will be chaos.

What's more, there are the vassal kings who came to the funeral, and the king of Nan'an who has been secretly in Beijing... These people have noble status, and courtiers can't suppress them.

If they have bad intentions, only the Crown Prince or the Emperor can suppress them. No one else would dare!

Tao Ye saw that the man was convinced, so he said: "Let's confirm the crown prince first!"

Seeing that almost all the courtiers nodded in agreement, Concubine Hui gave the head servant a wink.

The head chamberlain immediately stepped forward and said, "My lords, although Your Majesty is leaving in a hurry, you have already decided on the candidate for the crown prince before that."

As soon as he said that, Tao Ye immediately gave him a dissatisfied look, "I know why you didn't say it earlier, making us anxious here!"

Although this was a play that had been colluded for a long time, Tao Ye's performance was very emotional. The head chamberlain rolled his eyes when he sternly accused him, and his chest immediately started to hurt, and his expression changed several times.

In this way, the play becomes more and more realistic.

"Yes, since His Majesty has made the imperial call, you should have said it earlier!"

Others followed suit.

"Who is it that His Majesty established?"

The head chamberlain smiled bitterly, "I only know that His Majesty made an imperial edict and hid it in a secret compartment. How can I know the candidate?"
