The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 102

Gu Zizhan suddenly felt that some long-term memories had been forgotten by him.It seemed that the person in the dream, and their subsequent separation, had been entangled with her for a long time.

Why, even forget it?

The death of the prince shocked the ruling and opposition parties.Some people felt sorry for the death of this virtuous and benevolent prince, but more people began to guess——as the only heir of the current emperor, after his death, who will be the next crown prince of Dazhao.

Judging from the current situation, there is still a pregnant first prince and side concubine in the East Palace who has not given birth. If she gives birth to the emperor's grandson, according to Emperor Tianshun's temperament, this child will inevitably be established as the emperor's grandson and inherit the heir.

But if the baby is a girl, then everything will be difficult to say.But in any case, Emperor Tianshun is now over seventy years old, and many people have already begun to think in their hearts that it is not a good thing after all to be suspicious of the Lord.

Some people put this idea in their hearts, while others wrote this idea into a memorial, and threw it at Emperor Tianshun's imperial case one by one.Before the prince's bones were cold, some people couldn't wait to get up.

These memorials can be roughly divided into two categories.One class asked Emperor Tianshun to choose another nephew from the clan to adopt. If the child born in the East Palace was a boy, he would be made a grandson and be raised by the adopted prince. He would naturally inherit the throne in the future.

The other category is constantly exaggerating the harm of the Lord Shao Guoyi, and mentioning that Emperor Tianshun is old and can't bear him to spend any more energy training and training his stepson.

After seeing the second statement, Emperor Tianshun knew that this statement was just a test, and it might not be long before their true intentions should be revealed.

Sure enough, soon, the voice of asking Li Huang Taidi appeared.

Emperor Tianshun now has four living brothers, except for Gu Quan, the rest are staying in the fief, and they are all princes.Coincidentally, these four and Emperor Tianshun are all brothers made by the former Empress Dowager Wang, so no one is inferior to the other in terms of status.But Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan knew that the appearance of this voice was definitely not Gu Quan's idea.

It's just because Gu Quan, who is only the King of Ningling County now, has no advantage in other aspects except that Lai is close to the capital.If he was still the former Prince Yu who held the real power, he would naturally be happy to see the success and actively participate in it, but right now, the louder these voices are, the more annoyed he is.

So not long after, the king of Ningling County went the other way and sent a letter to Emperor Tianshun requesting to become a vassal.But this time, it was Emperor Tianshun who didn't want him to leave the capital.

What a joke, letting Gu Quan go at this juncture is not letting the tiger go back to the mountain, what is it?

It's a pity that today's Emperor Tianshun doesn't have conclusive evidence in his hands that can convict Gu Quan in one fell swoop.Thinking of this, Emperor Tianshun couldn't help ordering Yan Junchi and others to intensify the interrogation of Xing Kang.

However, two days later, in the cell of Dali Temple, something happened that made Emperor Tianshun even more furious

——Xing Kang, dead.

Speaking of what happened, it is even more shocking.

It turned out to be a Boss of the Ministry of Punishments who killed Xing Kang with a dagger in front of everyone when he was interrogated by the Sanju Judiciary!At that time, Xing Kang just couldn't stand the torture and confessed that he was in the Jiangbei case and ordered his subordinates to frame and murder Gu Zizhan.

After killing Xing Kang, the master Bo took advantage of the chaos of the crowd, and without hesitation used the dagger that was still stained with Xing Kang's blood, and stabbed it into his own neck.Immediately, blood spattered three feet, and he died.There is no evidence of death.

Yan Junchi was shocked and immediately reported to Emperor Tianshun.However, at the same time, rumors began to circulate in the capital that the [-] rebels who besieged the former prince in the northern border were actually subordinates of Wang Yunhe, Duke of Abandoned Ding, and the assassination of the prince was to avenge Wang Yunhe, who was wronged and died!

All of a sudden, the old grievance between the former prince and Wang Yunhe, who couldn't see the truth clearly, was rampant again.

And this incident really pierced Emperor Tianshun's heart, made him anxious and even fell ill.

His son has been killed, but there is still a villain who wants to pour dirty water on him again!

Emperor Tianshun, who could no longer bear all this, summoned Gu Zizhan into the palace overnight.

**********

After seeing Gu Zizhan, Emperor Tianshun still had that tangled and complicated expression.

Gu Zizhan already knew what had happened in recent days, and heard the rumors in the capital, so he naturally knew the purpose of Emperor Tianshun looking for her.So when Emperor Tianshun asked her how to deal with these rumors, Gu Zizhan answered straight to the point: "Your Majesty, you should punish yourself."

Emperor Tianshun was furious immediately, he never expected that while the reputation of the former crown prince was dragged down, Gu Zizhan wanted to drag him into the water as well!Immediately shouted: "Presumptuous!"

Gu Zizhan rested in the Gu residence for a few days, and now he has gradually woken up from the sadness of the prince's death and the confusion about the future.Since it was her brother's final entrustment to her, she must take up this burden!No matter how bumpy and thorny the road ahead is, she will make a way and protect the world!The future she hopes for can only be realized by herself.

Kowtowing deeply, Gu Zizhan said: "Your Majesty, everyone in the world thinks that you are the Son of Heaven, but they ignore that you are also a father. Similarly, brother, although you are the heir apparent, you are also the Son of Man."

"Now that you have lost your beloved son, and the emperor has lost his crown prince, this grief should be known to all the world. Only by deep affection can arouse the understanding of the people and courtiers, and avoid further court battles. It can also buy time , wait for the grandson to be born, and calm down the current chaos."

"Besides, the rumors are only temporary. People talk about them just because they are bored after dinner. If another major event happens, the previous rumors will naturally be forgotten by people, and they will talk about the newer one. The curiosity of the world is Nature, liking the new and loathing the old, is even more nature.”

Emperor Tianshun looked at Gu Zizhan coldly, but couldn't help but a thought arose in his heart.Her decisiveness and her ability to guess and use people's hearts are indeed much better than Yuaner's.If he could have a son like Gu Zizhan, he wouldn't be where he is today.It's a pity, after all, it's not his own flesh and blood.

After hearing Gu Zizhan's words, Emperor Tianshun was silent for a long time, then suddenly his eyes changed, and he asked with a chuckle, "Ache, you must have something to say."

As soon as Gu Zizhan raised his head, he heard Emperor Tianshun say: "I issued this edict of sin against myself. In addition to apologizing to the world, I am so sad that I lost my beloved son and cut off my heirs. I am ashamed of my ancestors. I also have to say a few words of yes." My virtues were deficient, so that the heavens punished me and made the East Palace suffer."

"By the way, let me tell the world that because you bear the fate of Ziwei, I will make you the crown prince, so that I can be regarded as obeying the destiny and comforting the common people!"

"right?"

At the end of the talk, Emperor Tianshun narrowed his eyes, looked behind Gu Zizhanzhou, and looked at her with a half-smile.

Gu Zizhan felt a chill in his heart, and finally realized that she had made a slip of the tongue.Emperor Tianshun is not a prince, and he has never trusted her.

Grief suddenly arose in my heart, and so did my longing for the prince.Gu Zizhan leaned down, choked with sobs and said, "Your Majesty doesn't trust me, it doesn't matter. But in my heart, I always remember my elder brother's entrustment that day, and every word and deed is for the grandson's consideration—"

"Enough!" Emperor Tianshun became impatient, and interrupted Gu Zizhan roughly with a wave of his hand.He closed his eyes and calmed down, and after a long time, he said quietly: "You have to remember, that child will always be Yuan'er's child, not yours." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, "You, go down."

When Gu Zizhan was about to exit the hall, Emperor Tianshun suddenly said again:

"That's all, that's all. In the future, you can treat your grandson as your own child."

Gu Zizhan's eyebrows twitched, knowing in his heart that Emperor Tianshun had finally made a decision.

Back at Gu's house, Gu Zizhan saw Chu Lan waiting at the door, he felt relieved, and walked forward quickly, holding her hand to draw strength.

After a long time, Gu Zizhan said slowly, "Alan, maybe we will have a child soon."

Chu Lan immediately understood the deep meaning of her words, then Gu Zizhan leaned towards her and murmured:

"Actually, I'm afraid that she will be a girl."

Chu Lan felt a pain in her heart, wrapped her arms around Gu Zizhan's waist, and hugged her tightly into her arms.

In fact, like Gu Zizhan, she did not want another girl to suffer the same fate as Gu Zizhan.

But at this moment, Gu Zizhan raised his head again, looking straight into Chu Lan's eyes with his bright black eyes, and said word by word: "But even if it's a girl, I won't let her go back to my old path. "

"I will let her take over the world as a woman!"

Three days later, the crown prince's first seven days had passed, and all the ministers took off their filial obedience, and wrapped white cloth around their waists instead. After one month, they can remove their obedience.Many people no longer have to maintain a mournful look on their faces, and they feel a little more relaxed in their hearts.

Especially those courtiers who were close to the princes cheered up and prepared to ask Emperor Tianshun for an order to consider the appointment of the emperor's younger brother.After all, Conglong's merit is the greatest contribution in this world.

But what everyone didn't expect was that His Majesty the Emperor went to court in coarse linen clothes.

In the astonishment of everyone, Emperor Tianshun ordered Li Ruoyu to fetch an imperial edict and began to recite it in public.

It turned out to be a crime against oneself!

In this edict of guilt, Emperor Tianshun began with sincere words, without the emperor's domineering arrogance, and completely turned into a poor father who lost his son in old age.

He lamented that it was because of his great success, self-willedness, ignorance of people, and sycophancy of distant sages, which caused people's grievances to be unreasonable, officials' cunning to be restrained, people's grievances to boil, soldiers to suffer, and natural disasters to continue.The punishment from heaven brought disaster to the benevolent prince.Although he knew that this was God's retribution for him, as a father, he still couldn't help but grieve for his son's early death and blame himself.The crown prince has been ill for many years, and was victimized by traitors, which led to the turmoil of the country and no heirs. In this regard, he is also ashamed of God and his ancestors, and has no face to face the people.All these faults belong to him alone.

But now, the innocent prince was recalled by heaven, leaving him to face these punishments alone in his old age.

In this regard, he can only learn from the painful experience and reflect on himself.But because of his own weakness, these many days were wasted.

Until last night, the crown prince who had returned to the Heavenly Palace and became an immortal came to meet him in his dream.

The prince first interrogated him on behalf of the gods, and then said that Dazhao was blessed by the gods, and his spirit was endless, so he specially sent down Ziwei Xianjun to assist the prosperity of the country.In addition, there are still heirs in the East Palace, and they are already bearing too little fortune. Soon, a dragon grandson will come to the world, inherit the incense, and open up eternal peace for Dazhao.Tell him not to make the same mistakes again and again, he must introduce Ziwei Tianjun as his heir, and make Taiwei Xianjun his grandson.

When hearing this, all the old foxes in the hall still didn't understand that His Majesty the emperor clearly wrote an edict of guilt, but in fact, he had already made a decision!There is only one grandson, so naturally there is no need to speculate. As for the future prince, the so-called person who bears Ziwei's fate, His Majesty the Emperor did not punish him for the crime of deceiving the public. On the contrary, he even planned to admit it ? !

Sure enough, Li Ruoyu continued to read in that aged and thin voice: "Gu Che, son of the clan, is of first-class character and worthy of great responsibility. He will be established as the heir of the emperor immediately! As the grandson of the emperor! I hope that these two will inherit the Yanyan celebration, and the Mianzong society will rest without borders..."

What did Li Ruoyu say later, all the officials couldn't care less!Why is it so light and delicate that the emperor has decided on such a big event as the establishment of the reserve!Beforehand, I never discussed with them!

Immediately, the hall fell to one knee, and everyone shouted:

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Please take back your life, Your Majesty!"

"Establishing a crown prince is a major matter for the country, Your Majesty must not be so hasty!"

......

Emperor Tianshun watched these people quarreling like a farce with cold eyes, and suddenly felt infinite disgust in his heart.

And some other veterans, like him, chose to stand on the sidelines.

At this moment, Qin Tianjian suddenly stepped forward, knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty obeys the destiny, Your Majesty is holy! Long live my emperor!"

His loud cry made those courtiers who were crying, what's going on?Didn't Qin Tianjian never deal with the emperor?The scene of the previous two Qin Tianjian openly disobeying Emperor Tianshun is still in the memory of many people, why this time, they reversed their nature and stood behind the emperor?

Fu Wang, who silently retreated to a corner of the hall, looked at this scene and slowly showed a smile.Pat the big belly and hide back, hiding merit and fame.
