Chapter 223: The aunt who no longer forces her eldest son to make progress
The Queen glanced at them coldly and said in a heavy voice: "The Lord of Rongcheng County was afraid that Zhou Ying would attack the concubines and grandchildren of Prince Huai's Mansion after getting the medicine, so he informed me of everything. At first, I also thought that Zhou Ying The target was the backyard of Prince Huai’s Mansion until I noticed that His Majesty’s health was getting worse and worse.”
The courtiers were talking louder and louder, and the queen signaled everyone to calm down.
"Later, I found out that the sachet made by Concubine De was worn by His Majesty. It contained exactly that kind of secret medicine. Only then did I realize that their target was Your Majesty!"
The queen's voice was sad: "I will inform your majesty about this later. This is why your majesty scolded King Huai in the court for having ulterior motives. But unfortunately, the secret medicine entered his brain and his anger attacked his heart. His majesty can no longer be saved." .”
Witnesses, physical evidence, and His Majesty's angry curses before his death can all prove that King Huai had ulterior motives for the throne and did something to murder His Majesty.
At that moment, a minister stood up and said, "Empress, King Huai is treasonous and immoral. I propose that you remove your title and execute him immediately."
"My minister agrees."
"I agree, but the most important thing right now is to decide who will inherit the throne."
"This……"
The ministers looked at each other. Originally, the most suitable person was King Huai, but now that His Majesty was murdered by King Huai, it was obvious that it could not be him again. If it were postponed, the second prince would now be the eldest prince, but the second prince was under the influence of his mother-in-law. He was implicated and had been imprisoned for many years, so he seemed to be unqualified.
The next three princes, but the third prince still has no sons. If the third prince succeeds to the throne, the government will be in chaos again in the future.
However, if neither the second prince nor the third prince can succeed, and the fourth prince is postponed, it seems that he will not be able to convince the public, so some vacillating ministers do not know what to do.
At this time, the Prime Minister stood up and said: "Wei Chen believes that no matter who succeeds to the throne, no matter the second prince, the third prince or the fourth prince, he will not be able to convince the public, but His Highness Prince Ding is the direct grandson of His Majesty, and only His Highness Prince Ding is the orthodox one." I respectfully invite His Royal Highness King Ding to ascend the throne."
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers' discussion became louder, as if they didn't expect that they could also choose to be king.
Although there is no precedent for grandsons to succeed to the throne in this dynasty, according to etiquette and law, His Royal Highness Prince Ding is the eldest grandson, and he is indeed the most qualified to ascend the throne.
But His Majesty has so many sons, can King Ding bypass his uncles?
Just as they were wavering, Prince Cheng also stood up and said, "I think what the Prime Minister said is absolutely true, and I sincerely request His Highness Prince Ding to ascend the throne and stabilize the government."
Then the Marquis of Chengen and the Minister of Rites stood up and said, "I respectfully invite His Highness Prince Ding to ascend the throne."
Those who supported King Huai before were confused. Why did this suddenly change?
King Huai is confused. It’s clear that the world belongs to you, so why can’t you wait so long?
But since the Prime Minister, Prince Cheng, Marquis Chengen and the Minister of Rites are all on the side of Prince Ding, they seem to have no other choice.
Moreover, in terms of etiquette and law, it is true that the king is the legitimate one. After all, he is the legitimate son of the eldest prince born to the empress.
Some people feel a chill in their backs when they think of this. Could it be that from the beginning...
No wonder today's situation fell so quickly. It turned out that these people had been supporting King Ding from the beginning!What a scheming person, and he didn’t even reveal it at all.
So they quickly knelt down to show their sincerity: "We respectfully invite His Highness Prince Ding to ascend the throne and stabilize the court."
All the courtiers knelt down, and then a smile appeared on the queen's face.Concubine De and King Huai struggled desperately, seemingly unwilling to do so, and seemed to have something to say, but at this time it was a foregone conclusion that King Ding would ascend the throne, and no one dared to loosen their bonds or speak for them.
Zhou Ying and Zhou Shuqing, who were also tied up, were also desperate. They had been working hard for several years, but they didn't expect this to be the end.
It turns out that they made the wrong choice from the beginning. The path they thought was the right path was a deep pit from the beginning. No wonder Song Xia was never afraid!
Like King Huai, they were all miserably deceived by the Queen and these courtiers!No wonder Princess White was not tied up like them.
Zhou Ying stared at Princess Huai, wondering why she was betrayed by King Huai. If King Huai ascended the throne, wouldn't she be the queen?
They didn't know that Princess Huai didn't want to marry King Huai from the beginning. She didn't want to be trapped in the harem all her life after King Huai ascended the throne. Moreover, she had a sweetheart she liked. They also agreed to spend a lifetime together, but just as the two of them were When the marriage was just being discussed, His Majesty issued an imperial edict and promised her to King Huai.
Grandfather said that the Queen had a way to free her in the future, and she agreed. Even though she could not marry that man again, she did not want to be trapped in the palace.
Originally, it was not so easy to promote King Ding to the throne, but he did not expect that King Huai would be so stupid.
She looked back at Zhou Ying with an expressionless face. A bird knows the ambition of a swan. The names of princess and queen are nice to hear, but once she sits on it, she can't help it. She wants to be herself again.
After the courtiers expressed their stance, it was a foregone conclusion that King Ding would ascend the throne, and King Huai, Concubine De, and others were thrown into the sky prison together.
Although Zhou Yongli did not participate in the murder of His Majesty, he was the father of Zhou Shuqing and Zhou Ying and was jointly and severally responsible. Moreover, the previous death of Mrs. Zhou's legitimate son was also inseparable from him, so he was imprisoned together.
According to the law, in fact, the entire Zhou family will be implicated, but Song Xia is the one who reported the secret medicine, so the merits and demerits are equal. Both she and Zhou Yuqing are fine. This is also the promise given to her by the empress. Not only that, but also after The Zhou Mansion will also be given the title of County Lord's Mansion.
Usually only princesses have this grace, and the queen uses this to tell everyone that Song Xia is hers and no one can despise her.
Early the next morning, she just returned home, and Zhou Yuqing also happened to come back.
Zhou Yuqing looked anxious: "Mom, are you okay? What happened yesterday?"
"Mother is fine." Song Xia said concisely, "King Huai conspired to murder Your Majesty, Zhou Ying and others were implicated, and have now been thrown into the sky prison. In three days, the coronation ceremony of King Ding will be held."
Zhou Yuqing couldn't imagine how many things happened last night, so that he came to a conclusion so quickly.
But in the end, the winner is His Highness Prince Ding. Although Prince Ding is young, he is quite talented and domineering, and he will definitely be able to manage this country well in the future.
And if it weren't for King Huai, then Zhou Ying and Zhou Shuqing would never be able to succeed, and there would be no need to worry about the threat of them becoming mothers.
"Yu Qing, if your father is implicated, there may not be a good outcome."
"Yeah." Zhou Yuqing felt a little sad in her heart, but she nodded calmly.
His father didn't care about him. He had always known it and had figured it out a long time ago. What was there to be sad about? After all, whose father was like his father and could murder another son for the sake of another son?
"Mom, as long as you're okay."
"How can something happen to my mother? After all, this ending is also the result of my mother's contribution." (End of Chapter)
The courtiers were talking louder and louder, and the queen signaled everyone to calm down.
"Later, I found out that the sachet made by Concubine De was worn by His Majesty. It contained exactly that kind of secret medicine. Only then did I realize that their target was Your Majesty!"
