Chapter 468 The Final Outcome
Chapter 468 The final outcome
"Their preference is King Qi." Liu Wanxi replied in a low voice. She was very worried that Ji Qingyuan would go crazy and send King Qi to prison, which was very possible for him.
But this couldn't be done, and she didn't want Ji Qingyuan to do this.
Because under this general trend, even Ji Qingyuan was irreversible. He insisted on not establishing a crown prince, or simply asked King Qi for his crime. Then under this general trend, the ministers dared to support the emperor themselves. At that time, everything was really over. It would be better to follow their wishes and make King Qi the crown prince. At any rate, Ji Qingyuan can still remain the emperor, and she and Eunuch Li can continue to control some power.
Unexpectedly, Ji Qingyuan did not go crazy, but his cloudy eyes were calmer than ever before.
"Concubine, do you know...what am I thinking about?"
Liu Wanxi said carefully: "I don't know."
"Haha..." Ji Qingyuan chuckled twice and said coldly: "I'm thinking that this prince is so capable that he can force hundreds of officials to force the palace. It can't be because of one thing. I don't know how long he has been plotting behind it. How many years and how much hard work have been spent to achieve this trend? Overnight, all ministers gathered together and responded to one call..."
Liu Wanxi's heart moved.
"That is to say... he has such confidence that when I die, no one else can compete with him." As Ji Qingyuan spoke, he smiled even happier: "Isn't it obvious who poisoned me? If exposed?"
Liu Wanxi suppressed her shock and asked, "Your Majesty is happy that he has found the murderer? But with the current situation, there is nothing he can do if there is no evidence."
"No, what I'm happy about is that I don't know why he started it in advance... Originally, he didn't have to do anything. He just had to continue his secret management and wait until I die to operate such a big trend... That's when He ascends the throne directly and is truly unstoppable. But he was exposed in advance... He is not the only smart person in the world, and he may not be the winner in the end... Haha..."
Liu Wanxi squeezed her delicate hands tightly, her palms filled with sweat.
She finally understood why Xue Mu's "imaginary enemy" was so tolerable, because his actions had been completed for more than ten years. At this time, there was really no need to do anything... If there was no fuse, Xue Mu would If you wait here for a year or two in vain, you may not be able to wait for any action, and you are destined to return to Lingzhou in despair.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"Wuyou is impatient. If he can endure it, when I make him the prince, I will give him a big gift." Ji Qingyuan was very proud: "Originally, I would point Xiahou to him as my concubine, but now he Just dream."
Liu Wanxi was silent.
It was precisely because Jiao Zhao had sealed the title of princess in advance that Ji Wuyou knew that no matter how much she waited, she would never be able to wait until this day, so her mentality exploded.
"Go and call Xia Houdi, Su Duancheng, Li Yingqing, Chen Qianzhen, and Zheng Yezhi. I want to make a decree in public."
Liu Wanxi nodded and ordered the inner guard to call someone.
After a while, five people entered. Ji Qingyuan smiled in good spirits and said: "Publish my decree and make Xiahou Di the princess. This is the first one. The second one is to make Ji Wuyou, the eighth prince of Qi, the crown prince and participate in the affairs of the government. The third one is to make the imperial concubine Liu Wan In the present time, I listen to the government behind the curtain, and Li Xiaolin assists me. Xiahoudi, Su Duancheng, Li Yingqing, Chen Qianzhen, and Zheng Yezhi are the five ministers of the auxiliary state, and discuss the government affairs with the prince!"
When the first point was mentioned, Xiahoudi and Liu Wanxi were frightened, but others were a little confused. But he soon felt relieved. Maybe Ji Qingyuan was confused and forgot that he had already blocked it? Not surprising, he already had signs of dementia. It doesn't matter anyway, she is still a princess, there is no inconsistency, there is no problem.
Starting from the second item, it was a series of heavy bombshells that made them unintentional to think about the first item.
The battle for the crown prince that had been going on since Ji Qingyuan fell from poisoning was finally settled with this imperial edict.
That’s it, the next one is more important.
The imperial concubine hangs the curtain... It is true that in history, the queen mother hangs the curtain, but that is the queen mother! It was because the emperor was still young and his mother was in charge behind the curtain for a short period of time. But now that the emperor is still alive and the prince has long since grown up, he still lets the imperial concubine hang the curtain, which makes people dumbfounded.
If this alone is the continuation of Ji Qingyuan's greed for power, but if you add the last one...the five ministers of the auxiliary country, it is not that the emperor is greedy for power, but that he is trying every means to increase constraints on the prince. Let the prince be unable to dominate.
It’s true that father and son have become enemies...
Everyone sighed in their hearts. Some people wanted to oppose this imperial edict, but they knew that no consensus could be reached this time... The goal of establishing a prince that everyone hoped to achieve has been achieved. In other aspects, everyone has their own positions and ideas. Seeing Xiahou Since neither Ogi nor the three sect leaders would object, it would be impossible to form a unanimous opinion to resist the decree.
This imperial edict cannot be refuted and must be established.
Ji Qingyuan is still Ji Qingyuan...a person who has played power games all his life.
…
The crown prince has been established, and the officials at Kouque have mixed feelings about this strange imperial edict, and they disperse one after another with discussion. But no matter what, King Qi is the crown prince. Ji Qingyuan's current situation is such that it is impossible to depose the crown prince. Ji Wuyou's situation has been achieved, and there is no suspense about Ji Wuyou's future accession to the throne.
Many people immediately went to Prince Qi's Mansion to report the good news and compete for the merit of serving the dragon. In the palace, Xia Houdi did not leave. She was invited by Liu Wanxi: "Princess, would you like to go and sit with me in the palace?"
Xia Houdi stared at her for a long time and then said: "Okay, concubine."
Liu Wanxi led her inside and asked in a low voice, "Are you still willing to call me mother-in-law?"
"I have personally seen your father beat you to the point of death several times..." Xiahoudi pursed his lips and sighed: "Xiahou is not a pedantic person, and he does not have any etiquette to poison... As long as you do not disrupt the government, I will not It’s your fault.”
Liu Wanxi was silent for a moment and sighed: "You are the only one in the entire royal family who is innocent."
Xia Houdi shook his head: "Everyone has selfish motives. I can't be angry with Xue Mu. Since I respect and feel ashamed of you...then I can't turn my back on you. I can only admit it. In fact, I have already failed to be the chief arrester." "
"Xue Mu has never used me for any personal gain, not even for the benefit of the Xingyue Sect." Liu Wanxi said: "So far, all his actions and plans have been just to confront an imaginary enemy. The most important thing for me is to ensure His Majesty’s safety and never let him be assassinated, otherwise everything will stop.”
Xia Houdi bit his lower lip and said nothing.
"Except for having me as a nail, Xue Mu can't change anything. This battle is considered to be Xue Mu's loss." Liu Wanxi stopped, looked at the palace in front of her, and said softly: "His month of observation and alert , after all, it can’t compare to the solid foundation that others have planned for ten years.”
In the palace ahead, Xue Mu was sitting on a rocking chair in the garden, rocking and rocking Weiye in his arms, humming a song: "Shake, shake, shake, shake. As soon as I got to Grandma's Bridge, Grandma praised me for being such a good baby and gave me a treat." Big rice cake…”
Wei Ye giggled and actually took out a piece of thousand-layer cake from her pocket: "Baby, eat cake!"
"You are the baby..."
"The situation has changed greatly, but you are still in this mood." Liu Wanxi came over with a smile, hugged Weiye and gave her a kiss, then leaned over and kissed Xue Mu on the face: "Get up, you invited me The guests are coming."
Her kiss didn't want to avoid Xia Houdi at all. Xia Houdi watched quietly without any reaction.
I felt in my heart that even though the identities of the protagonists were very inconsistent, this scene was a rare warmth in this dirty palace.
