Chapter 688
The second is because Commander Cao was imprisoned, he was afraid that the people inside Jinyiwei and Commander Cao's enemies would take the opportunity to anger him and make him suffer. He can't help Commander Cao with other things, at least let him stay away. Luo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, so it was possible to live a decent and easy life, and it was also a repayment to Commander Cao for his advice and cultivation over the past few years.

Therefore, after he greeted the two deputy commanders, he temporarily changed the duty station to the Imperial Prison, and therefore, it was already afternoon when he received the news that King Ning had been formally established as the crown prince.

Even though Ling Mengqidang smiled coldly, thinking darkly, it's no wonder that woman back then left everything and went with the emperor without hesitation. If he was a woman, he might not be able to resist such affection Huge friendship and great temptation; there were not many surprises, and he knew that such a result would happen sooner or later, although he really didn't want to see such a result.

When he was in a bad mood, the Imperial Prison naturally couldn't stay any longer. Ling Mengqi simply went home early, still thinking on the way, let's not let Lu Mingxuan know about this, so as not to affect her mood, but unexpectedly, she I already knew it!

Lu Mingxuan said: "I went to my sister's house to hear what my brother-in-law said, and my sister was very happy for us because of it. I thought I couldn't let them misunderstand like this, so as not to cause them trouble in the future, King Ning... and the prince once I mentioned to them what you have done. Who knows that Princess Duan came just after I came home, and she came to test us on this matter, and said that His Highness Duan Wang has dispelled those shameful thoughts in my heart In the future, I only want to be a virtuous king in peace and contentment. Of course, I don’t believe this, because I was afraid that His Royal Highness Duan Wang would be unfavorable to you, so I simply told the matter to Duan Wangfei... Didn’t you say a few days ago that Duan Wang has been dead for several years? Didn't see you last time, now that you go again, I think he won't be like this again, when is it convenient for you?"

Hearing this, Ling Mengqi frowned. In fact, he probably guessed that King Duan was guarding against him, but he still held some optimistic hope. Now that this hope has been broken, he really has no choice. Don't let yourself be disheartened, even if he took refuge in King Duan just for self-protection at the beginning, he didn't have the ambition of "a good bird chooses a tree to live in".

He was silent for a moment, Fang Shen said: "I will find a chance to meet him in the next two days, but you are due to give birth in more than a month, and try not to go out if you can't go out in the future. You can ignore these trivial matters. Try not to worry about it, leave it to me, you just have to give birth to our baby safely."

I just feel indescribably tired and bored. Thinking about his 20 years of life, except for the two or three years when he was ignorant and ignorant at the beginning, he has never lived a day of relaxation. Now he is even more tired. His wife and children also want to live such a life with him, and he doesn't know when such a life will be his head!
In the early morning of the next day, the emperor officially issued the "Certificate of the Crown Prince's Grace", saying that "the eldest son loses his virtue, and the successor is only a virtuous one. Announced to the world, and then the Qin Tianjian chose an auspicious day, and set the canonization ceremony for one month later. At that time, both the emperor and the prince will fast for three days in advance, and then go to the Taimiao to announce to the ancestors of heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor issued a decree of grace, amnesty to the world, and ordered all states and counties to release grain for one month to help the poor. The gold and silk were released, and all the civil and military officials gave colorful satin, and the capital was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there was no curfew, and they celebrated together for three days.

After the establishment of the crown prince was finalized, the emperor immediately summoned Yao Zhongshi, the chief assistant of the court, and within a few days the latter appeared on the table to become an official. Zhang's grandfather became the first assistant in turn.

The first thing Zhang Shoufu did after he took office was to report several major hidden dangers in the current imperial court and society, among which the military's lack of pay and the banditry and pirates along the coast are the two most important.

After investigation, the emperor found that the two incidents were inextricably related to the disciples of Duke Anguo, so he killed and demoted, and within half a month, he cut off most of the party members of Duke Anguo's mansion.

The emperor was unavoidably complacent about this, and this day coincided with the Empress Dowager Luo recovering from a lingering illness for more than half a month, so before dinner, he took Concubine Luo and the Crown Prince and Princess Concubine to Shoukang Hall to accompany Empress Dowager Luo for dinner, and also It is a family reunion.

Although Empress Dowager Luo was happy at the beginning because King Ning became the crown prince, and her natal family would become more and more prosperous, but now seeing that the emperor obviously only regards Concubine Luo and the crown prince as his family, she is quite unhappy. The other concubines are fine, but the children and grandchildren are all his own. Now he doesn't like them so much, can he still expect the crown prince to follow suit and treat them kindly in the future?This is separated by belly, even if they have the same father, why didn't the emperor Yuji treat his half-brothers kindly?
Therefore, after eating the dinner calmly, Empress Dowager Luo said in a harmonious voice: "Your concubine, take the prince and concubine and kneel down first, the prince and the concubine are going out of the palace. The key is over, the Ai family still has a few personal words to say to the emperor."

After Murong Heng was established as the crown prince, according to the intention of the emperor and Concubine Luo, he was asked to move into the East Palace on the same day, but Zhang Shoufu privately advised the crown prince that he was already the crown prince, so he moved into the East Palace sooner and later. What's the difference when he enters the East Palace? Later on, he can still make people feel calm and humble.

The prince thought about it, and what Zhang Shoufu said was reasonable, so he invited the emperor in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu court at the great court meeting, and it would not be too late to move into the East Palace after the canonization ceremony. Because of the influence, she nodded and agreed, so the Empress Dowager Luo said this.

Concubine Luo knew that Empress Dowager Luo never wanted to see her, but as long as the emperor's heart was with her, she would have nothing to worry about, not to mention her son is now the crown prince.

So after listening to Empress Dowager Luo's words, she didn't say anything, she just smiled and led her son and daughter-in-law to salute, and the mother, son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out of Shoukang Palace.

The rest of the emperor waited until the back of his concubine and son could not be seen, then he turned to Empress Dowager Luo and said with a smile: "I don't know if the mother specially left the son behind, what orders do you have?"

Empress Dowager Luo saw the emperor's nostalgia for Concubine Luo, she was very displeased in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and said with a smile: "Is there no order, so the Ai family can't let the emperor say something about himself, Or is the emperor really so busy that he doesn't even have time to talk to Ai's family?"

Hearing the words, the emperor quickly laughed and said: "The queen mother is serious, but the son just said it casually. No matter how busy he is, he won't even have time to talk to the queen mother. What's more, now that the prince has been established, there is a prince Jian Guo, I am much more relaxed than before, I spend more time talking with my mother, I am afraid that my mother will find my son annoying!"
