The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant - Chapter 123

After Xiao Qi sat in the Kunning Palace, she couldn’t help being impetuous for some reason, stood up and walked around anxiously.

Since the news of the emperor’s defeat and capture, Xiao Qi has been shrouded in a huge sense of unreality. How could it be possible, with so many troops, so many people on board, how could it be possible that the great country could not beat the barbarians who were rumored and drank blood in the north? The soldiers must be poorly trained, and the accompanying people were also greedy for life and fear of death, which made the emperor suffer such grievances.

After Xiao Qi lived in the palace for a long time, he didn’t understand or know how the courtiers outside valued integrity. Even if the emperor was captured, Xiao Qi thought about whether the emperor would offend her when he returned, but did not expect that she would pay for her words and deeds.

She is the supreme queen. It is their honour for these servants to sell their lives for her. Who dares to let her admit her mistakes.

After Xiaoqi walked a few laps, she felt her mood calmed down a lot. She sat back on the magnificent seat, took a sip of tea, and immediately knocked over to the floor irritably, “What is this, a strange smell.”

Qiu Shuang hurriedly stepped forward, lowered her head and said, “Manny, this is the ginseng tea you just ordered. You said that after getting up this morning, the hospital had palpitations, and the hospital prescribed medicated meals for you. This was just delivered by the Imperial Dining Room. “

“My house has no appetite, so I removed all of them and redoed them.”

The queen of Xiaoqi likes to be extravagant, this kind of thing that gets bored by the front foot instructing the back foot is not uncommon, and the harem has long been accustomed to the luxurious ostentation of the empress. She is the empress, the supreme mother of the country, she should be extravagant. As for where the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs comes from, it doesn’t matter what they do.

Empress Xiao Qi didn’t take this seriously, but this time, as soon as she lowered her head, she heard someone say in front of her: “It’s all this time, the empress is still picky about eating and dressing. It’s really eye-opening.”

Standing in front of the empress, Qiu Shuang was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down: “Niang Niang is forgiven, not the servant.”

Empress Xiao Qi had never suffered such an offense. She was furious, and her eyes swept towards the source of the sound like a knife. She wanted to see who had such courage and dared to point her.

Chu Jinyao was standing at the door with a person, his brows faint, calmly in the eyes of Empress Xiao Qi who were almost about to cut people: “Queen, empress, it’s been a long time.”

“It’s you.” Xiao Qi’s eyes narrowed. She heard that Chu Jinyao had returned to the palace yesterday. She was still regretful at the time, why didn’t Chu Jinyao die outside. But apart from a sneer in his heart, Empress Xiao Qi didn’t take this matter to heart. Now that Chu Jinyao is pregnant, she must hide from her like a mouse hiding a cat. Empress Xiao Qi really never thought that Chu Jinyao would take the initiative. Come to see her.

“It’s really strange. The princess was busy hiding outside the palace a few days ago. How dare you come to Kunning Palace in this palace now?” Xiao Qi sneered, her expression full of unwelcome, “What are you doing here? “

“The empress is too worried, and I don’t want to see your face. When I take things, the empress will be able to stay quietly by herself.”

Xiao Qihou instinctively felt that something was wrong: “What do you mean by this?”

Chu Jinyao was too lazy to tell her, and directly instructed the palace people behind: “Go and get the phoenix seal.”

When Xiao Qi heard this, she stood up from her seat in surprise: “Bold! This palace is a queen. There is no queen mother in the palace. This palace is the most noble person. Who of you dares to make trouble in front of this palace!” “

Chu Jinyao raised his hand, and the **** behind him immediately carried the edict and stepped forward: “Prince’s order: the queen arbitrarily discusses state affairs, and cooperates with Liu Dang to make troubles and super-classes, has lost the queen’s virtue, and has no rites as an example for the sixth house. Now that she has taken the phoenix seal of the Queen’s middle palace, she has lived in Kunning Palace and thought about it. No one can visit.”

After Xiao Qi heard this, his eyes widened in astonishment, and when he reacted, he became furious: “This palace is a queen, he is just a prince, what right does he have to deal with this palace?”

“Queen, you may have forgotten that now the Sixth Division is hanging in the air, and it is the Crown Prince’s supervision of the country.” Chu Jinyao sighed at this point, “and you urged the emperor to conquer himself. , More than sixty imperial court humerus died, you are not blamed, why can you rest 300,000 dead souls, and how can you calm down the wrath of the world?”

“It’s because they are useless to lose, what’s going on with this palace?” Empress Xiao Qi still didn’t think it was her fault. She looked at Chu Jinyao and sneered. The palace is fine. This palace warns you that I am the queen appointed by the emperor himself, and your aunt, and you commit the crime and imprison your aunt. This is the perversion and the taboo of unfaithfulness and unfilial piety!”

Chu Jinyao didn’t bother to talk to Xiao Qi again. No matter what she said, Xiao Qi didn’t feel that she was wrong. She enjoyed the worship of thousands of people, but never felt that she had anything to do with the destiny of this country. Was it the Queen’s fault for the defeat of Xuanfu? of course not. But since she stood in this position, she had persuaded the emperor to conquer herself before, but now that the shocking change has occurred, she thinks about staying out of the situation, there is no such good thing in the world.

After Xiao Qi watched Feng Yin, which symbolized the status of the queen, was forcibly taken away, Chu Jinyao lifted up the brocade to check it, and waved to take it away. Chu Jinyao stood outside the palace with his hands folded, and turned his head to give a soft command. Immediately, many eunuchs stepped forward, closing the doors and windows of Kunning Palace one by one, and affixed the seals neatly.

“What are you doing, I see who dares to see in this palace!” Xiao Qi was shocked and angry when she saw this scene, but without Feng Yin, the queen is just a name, how can it be worthy of the real power in the palace. After Xiao Qi watched his palace being sealed up, the magnificent Kunning Palace was suddenly darkened, as if sunlight could not come in. Chu Jinyao, across the only open door of the palace, nodded towards Xiao Qihou gently: “Queen, you will be at ease in the palace. The sixth palace and the outside affairs, you will not worry about it. .”

There was a faint noise outside, listening to the voice of a young woman, she seemed to want to break through, crying and scolding after failure. After Xiao Qi heard this voice, this is her daughter, the princess of Jin Zunyu, the second princess Qin Yan.

The second princess came over to cry and cry, Chu Jinyao didn’t even turn her head, still looking at Xiao Qi quietly through the palace gate that was gradually closing.

The queen Xiaoqi survives in name only, and has been charged with the crime of causing trouble to the Chao Gang. Chaos Chao Gang, this is not the same magnitude as the cruelty to imperial heirs and the oppression of imperial concubines. She was almost abolished, so what will happen to her children, Wang Lu and the second princess?

After Xiao Qi opened his eyes like that, watching the tall and heavy palace door close little by little, Chu Jinyao’s figure gradually left only a skirt, and then, even the last ray of sunlight was shut outside the door.

Xiaoqi also lost his strength afterwards. She muttered incredulously: “How is it possible, I am a queen, he is just a prince, how can he leapfrog my ranks to seize my power.”

Qiu Shuang came over quietly, gently knelt behind Xiao Qi, and said, “Manny, it may not be a leapfrog.”

“what did you say?”

“The slave and maid had just heard from outsiders that the cabinet proposed that the country should not be without a king for a day. It has already proposed that His Royal Highness be enthroned and become emperor.”

Xiao Qi’s queen snapped the agate bead on his wrist with a “bang” sound. The bright and smooth beads bounced around on the carpet, gradually rolling to every corner, and no trace was found.

In the harem, the power to govern the palace has been transferred to Chu Jinyao steadily and without any room for negotiation, and the previous dynasties are also discussing this matter enthusiastically.

“His Royal Highness.” An old official said earnestly and almost bowed to the ground, “The country cannot be left without a master for a day. Now the emperor falls into the hands of Wala, the people are in turmoil, and the country is at risk. As the eldest son and prince, you are the eldest son and prince. Respond to the people’s will and ascend to the throne early in order to rule Kyushu and stabilize the people’s sentiments!”

Other courtiers also knelt to the ground: “His Royal Highness, please ascend the throne!”

For the first time since Qin Yi has been in charge of the Wenhua Palace for so many years, he felt a dilemma.

If he doesn’t want the throne, that is pure nonsense. If he doesn’t want to sit as the emperor, why should he occupy the position of the prince and have been operating for years? But when this opportunity was really placed in front of him, Qin Yi hesitated.

It shouldn’t be so. Qin Yi couldn’t tell what was wrong, but his instinct told him that this development was not right. Just like when General Hu saw Chu Jinxian, everyone testified that it was the crown prince, but General Hu felt that there was a problem inexplicably. That was the experience and first judgment accumulated over the years of licking blood with the knife’s mouth. Reason has not yet figured out the reason, and the danger and trap have been sensed by intuition.

Qin Yi finally resisted the biggest temptation in his life. Qin Yi shook his head and said in a very firm tone: “The emperor is still in the hands of the adversary, and the capital is also in danger. At this time, how can we focus on such things. The top priority is to restore the country’s prestige, resist foreign enemies, and rule the emperor. Welcome back to the capital. I don’t need to mention this matter any more, I will never agree to it alone.”

The courtiers inside and outside knelt down and asked in unison that Qin Yida could ascend to the throne first, and then make up for the ceremony of ascending the throne in the future. But Qin Yi still shook his head. After saying these words, his heart suddenly became clear, and his thoughts were surprisingly clear.

This thing is very strange, he can’t take this step.

When all the courtiers saw Qin Yi resolutely refused, they looked at each other and did not dare to demand too much. Before the emperor left, Qin Yi was the prince. Now that the emperor is captured, Qin Yi is basically a king. No matter how hard they work, they are also courtiers. How dare they confront the uncrowned king today.

The enthronement was deliberately avoided by everyone, and then some courtiers proposed to move the capital: “Prince, the emperor was deceived by the traitorous party, and the 300,000 army of the capital was overwhelmed. Now the emperor has no manpower. Now there is no army to defend the capital. In danger, for the sake of His Royal Highness and the ancestor’s foundation, His Highness should immediately move back to the old capital of Jinling. Jinling is surrounded by natural dangers in front of the river, and there is a granary in the south of the Yangtze River. There are 100,000 defenders outside the old capital. This is an excellent place to reorganize the foundation and make a comeback. Choose!”

As soon as this remark fell, someone immediately agreed. Qin Yi held back his anger and said in a deep voice: “My ancestors left the ancestral precepts as early as when the court was established. Gong. Since the ancestors moved the capital from the north to Yanyun, my sons of the Qin family were the first line of defense against foreign enemies. The emperor guards the gate of the country. If we move the capital to the south, the gate of the country will also move south to Jianghan. Yu surrendered half of the country’s land to others? When I wait for people who study to govern the country, what face will I see the people of Liming, and what face will I see the ancestors underground?

The needle dropped in the huge palace was audible, and no one spoke. Qin Yi Zhenxiu stood up, his eyes slowly swept across the audience: “I don’t want to hear the words of moving the capital a second time. Immediately, the whole city is preparing for war, and those who leave the city without military orders during the war will be shot. The city is dead, lonely. , The lonely unborn child, and others, die together.”
