Chapter 38: Wonderful Chess

Hai Guanyu's secret decree was a last resort. He had to follow the emperor's secret decree. Although he knew that the emperor's knot was not resolved, rumors were flying around and demons were dancing, so he could only help himself by dragging his illness. Fortunately, He Furong and Xiao Yunchao were not in the capital, and those ordinary officials did not dare to be arrogant in front of him, so he barely suppressed the momentum. However, Hai Guanyu understood that the emperor's illness this time was probably only three points for his illness, but seven points for his heart disease. This supreme should be looking for a complete solution. With the current momentum, it is impossible to delay the explanation of the ministers.

Feng Wuhen did not expect that in just over ten days of his last time, the situation suddenly became so complicated. The muddy waters of fighting for the throne became deeper and deeper, and ordinary people would be doomed if they were not careful. After the father warned that day, he gave up his thoughts on the small golden tube, which made the world's number one craftsman, Nangong Lin, particularly disappointed. However, this man was meticulous and knew that the family affairs of the imperial family could not be spread, so he lived in the palace. After a while, he actually became friends with Song Qien. When the two of them were free, they became more and more lonely when they were free.

Faced with rumors outside, Feng Wuhen also knew that his father really had to make a decision this time. However, according to his understanding of the repeated reports, he probably had not made the final decision yet, otherwise he would not have asked his own opinions last time. There is another kind of rumors outside that is even more unpredictable. I don’t know who brought out his oath in the court, as if he was afraid that he would become a lucky person. Although it has been many years since then, the poisonous oath still lingers in Feng Wuhen’s heart. Every time he is dead, he is as uncontrollable as a poisonous snake. Why can others think of the throne as a throne, but he can only watch it? He had no power and no power, and now he has trustworthy subordinates and friends, so why can he give in?

Unfortunately, if it weren't for pretending to behave in the past, he wouldn't have won the favor of his father. I'm afraid that now he would regret it. When he was instructing him day and night, his father unknowingly changed the teachings from the way of assistant ministers to the way of kings, but he had not yet discovered them at that time. In the eyes of those powerful ministers, his popularity was the result of the emperor's blue eyes, and he would be just a prince who would be a governor in the future. Only he himself vaguely realized that his father had made the intention of establishing him as a crown prince, but he had never spoken. So, if the father made others as a crown prince, how should he deal with himself?

Feng Wuhen sighed slightly. Now is not the time to consider these things. Just yesterday, Feng Wuqing, who was overly nervous, came to visit him once. Obviously, he was worried that the reserve position would fall into the hands of Feng Wuyan's gang. In the end, he comforted him with kind words before he let the sixth brother leave with satisfaction. Before the day of his father's grand ceremony, the reserve position was nothing, it was just a title that could be arbitrarily made. Even the honorable queen at that time died in depression, who could guarantee to sit in the reserve position without being coveted by others?

Although the entrance to the palace was too conspicuous, he decided to explore the tone of his mother Concubine Yu. As the favorite concubine of the Six Palaces of Quanshe, maybe she would have some other news. Feng Wuhen, who had made up his mind, was changing clothes, and the door was suddenly pushed open. Fan Qingcheng rushed in almost stumbled and reported unhappily: "Report to Your Highness, the emperor issued an edict to make Concubine Yu the Empress, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to start preparing the ceremony for the bookkeeping ceremony today!"

Even though Feng Wuhen was calm, he couldn't help but be shocked at this time. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. The mother had been taking charge of the Six Palaces for several years, but the father did not mention the matter of establishing the queen. It was obviously for the sake of the throne. Now he suddenly changed his mind, obviously to deal with rumors from the outside world and give his ministers an explanation.

Feng Wuhen stabilized his mind and then asked, "Who passed on this matter? Why was there no slightest news before?" No matter what, the news came too suddenly. In the past, such major events of the founding queen often lasted for several days, and even after a dispute, it was necessary to make a decision. Today, the father and the emperor were arbitrary, and the ministers outside did not know what to say.

"It was Eunuch Wang next to the emperor who came to summon the news." Fan Qingcheng also looked shocked. "I saw his face and seemed to be scared. Your Highness, now that this news has come out, are you still entering the palace?"

"Go, prepare a sedan chair quickly. How can I fall behind in such a big event? If I was wrong, I'm afraid the palace of Mother's concubine is already very lively!" Although I can't completely guess the emperor's intention, Feng Wuhen knew that only by entering the palace could he find out the source of this matter. However, tomorrow's morning court is really important, I'm afraid that the father will not be ill again to avoid court.

Feng Wuhen hurried to Lingbo Palace, and the ministers who had just received the news were shocked. The emperor had appointed the queen before he became the crown prince, which they had never expected in advance. Unfortunately, not only did the Xiao family come from a noble family, but the power of the mother's family was even spread all over the court and the country. For a moment, the Xiao family's party could not help but grow in popularity. Even the officials who wrote to ask for the crown prince were regretful. The four princes on Feng Wuyan were even more angry. Who would have thought that the emperor's final decision would be the Xiao family, which was very different from their earlier considerations.

Everyone knows that after the death of the former queen, the emperor could make Xiao the queen, so why should he delay it until today? This is clearly to build momentum for the throne. In this way, their actions would be to make wedding clothes for others. What's worse is that Xiao was the concubine of the six palaces before, and they had no reason to object. If the emperor only proposed the candidate for the crown prince, they could naturally refute it with various reasons, but the matter of establishing the queen at this time was undoubtedly a wonderful move by the emperor after he thought deeply.

When Feng Wuhen arrived at Lingbo Palace, there was already chaos inside. Seeing that Rouping, who had always been smart and steady, was a little helpless, he knew that even his mother herself was not aware of this. The news in the palace spread the fastest, so the concubine who congratulated her was already full of people. Looking at the pile of women with jade heads and seductive figures, Feng Wuhen felt a little scared. It was not until this time that he felt that the fullness of his father and queen's harem was unimaginable. Someone noticed his arrival, and all the women surrounded him, folded up the compliments and tried to meet him desperately, which made Feng Wuhen dizzy. Finally, he got out with Rouping's help.

While following Rouping inside, he asked with lingering fear: "Aunt Ping, why do these women come so quickly? As soon as I got the news, I came to the palace. I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. In the blink of an eye, all the concubines in the palace came."

"These are just concubines with low rank. They often flattered them in the past, so they will naturally not fall behind today." Rouping snorted coldly and said with some dissatisfaction. "The concubines who have given birth to princes have not come yet. I am thinking that they are still wiping their tears!" She said while pinching her fingers and calculating, "Empress Hui Concubine De, Empress Yun, and Empress Yun have not come yet. I probably don't understand what is going on. I don't want to come and congratulate you easily!"

While she was talking, she heard the eunuch outside the door whispering loudly: "Concubine Yun is here!" Rouping's face looked a little better, but she still couldn't breathe. While she greeted Feng Wuhen, she told her: "The empress also received the news early in the morning. She thought it was a joke from the emperor. Who would have thought it was true? She hadn't recovered yet. Your Highness came quickly, just to let the empress relax. It's a great joy in Japan today, even the servants seemed to have not woken up yet."

It was not until he entered the main hall that Feng Wuhen saw his mother dressed up, but her face was still stunned. He obviously had not yet woken up from the news just now. He came to his senses until he saw him kneeling down to salute. Feng Wuhen originally repeated the news he had obtained, and there was a real surprise on Concubine Yu's face.

"When Shi Liushun came to report, I thought I was sleeping and fainting today. Who would have thought it was true?" Concubine Yu wanted to laugh but was afraid of losing her manners. Although the Six Palaces of Quanshe were extremely noble, they could not compare to the honor of the queen. At this moment, she realized that this was not a dream. This incident was too sudden. The emperor had no words at all before, but now she suddenly sent someone to announce the imperial edict. This hastily made her extremely suspicious. Now that even her son has received news, the matter is really correct.

"Although the ceremony of the queen of the book will have to wait for a while, the major matter has been decided, and the ministers still want to congratulate the mother's mother." Feng Wuhen kowtowed with a smile, "I will be renamed the queen of the mother in the future. Just look at the concubines gathered outside the hall to know the authority of the queen of the mother to rule the six palaces in the future."

Although he still had that story with his son, Concubine Yu Yu was extremely happy when he came to these flattering words. Until now, she still felt a little dreaming. "At present, those ministers may have nothing to say. Wuhen, this time, your father was extremely angry. He was very unfair in the Qinzheng Palace these days, so I felt strange." She glanced at her son deeply and said thoughtfully, "There has always been a successor, and there has been a precedent and has never been as sudden as today. Although my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled for many years, I am very upset in my heart, afraid that there will be other news."

Seeing that his mother thought so, Feng Wuhen knew that his worries were not redundant. After thinking about it over and over again, he finally gritted his teeth and expressed his opinion. "My mother is not a suspicious minister. In front of him, there were many suspicious ministers who asked for the title of the crown prince, and in the back of the father, the queen decided to book the book. There were many suspicious things in the past and the queen still couldn't ignore it. Although the reason why the son was cited as the mother's nobleness should have been settled, the father's attitude was quite strange this time, and it was inevitable that there would be no other intentions."

Concubine Yu was also a very smart person. She thought of the point of the matter in a flash. The mother and son looked at each other and looked shocked. If the emperor really wanted to temporarily block the mouths of the ministers and then plan slowly, it would not matter if Concubine Yu's throne was still the case, so it would be less simple to establish who was the crown prince. Maybe the emperor had no intention of establishing the crown prince now, or just wanted to carry one person out as a target.
