Chapter 46 Mountain Collapse ([-])
"Emperor Prince Zhiluan, whose land is the eldest son, lives in the two Ming Dynasties. He teaches "Poems" and "Books", and teaches "Li" and "Le". Evil and out-of-the-ordinary behavior, benevolence and righteousness scorn news, and alienate the righteous. Intimacy with the small group, goodness is not small, and evil is not too great. Advocate excellent skills, day and night; dog and horse entertainment, travel endlessly. Gold and silk Treacherous, beating Chu all over the servants and concubines, the past and the past, the sun and the moon are very rich. It should be abolished as a commoner."

Then, eyes that couldn't even squeeze out false tears swept across the people in the palace, and said: "Take care of your mouth, the palace has always been short of flowers and fertilizers."

There was only sadness in the hearts of the people, and no one dared to speak anymore.

The king of Changsha said again: "Brother, the emperor drove the crane back to the west, and left another decree. I beg the queen mother and empress to keep it for you. Tomorrow morning, I will read it in public."

Another imperial decree with wet ink, but who dares to doubt its authenticity?
Even the queens are silent, they are not crazy, they will not speak.

……

……

In a blink of an eye, the Tai Chi Hall was empty again, and the Empress Dowager slumped on the back of the chair.

The palace will soon be in chaos before returning to a semblance of calm.Through the instruction issued just now, all factors that may threaten the stability of the imperial regime will be temporarily controlled until the imperial city has a new owner.

The queen mother knew that every decision she had just made was correct, but she couldn't help feeling dizzy.

Her thoughts were a little dazed.

The emperor is dead?The emperor is dead!
He was just a child sleeping in his arms yesterday, why did he die in the blink of an eye.

She breathed in panic and shook her head vigorously: "How could he die? How could he die! How could he just... die..."

He is not the flesh and blood that she conceived in October, but the feelings accumulated over the past 40 years are true after all.It would be false to say that she has no mother-child affection for the emperor.

At this moment, she was extremely tired, sad, and frightened, and she felt that she was really an old woman.

However, it wasn't just the emperor's death that made her panic and sad!
She is not stupid, and her political sense is still keen.

Too many people had reason to hope that the emperor would die, but she really didn't believe that it was really the prince's hand.

Because he is too weak, his heart is as soft as a woman's, he would rather hide in a paradise and enjoy himself than to take charge of the country and scold Fang Qiu.

She can even be sure that if the emperor really wants to abolish the prince, Aluan will not make any resistance.He will happily accept this edict, and then go to the fief calmly, becoming the vassal who needs the least attention from the new emperor.

Yes, the queen mother never thought that the crown prince would be the one to assassinate him, but things had come to this point, all she could do was to force herself to believe that it was unlawful for the crown prince to kill his father and seize the throne.

Because she has no other choice.

When she announced that she would put the queen under house arrest in Hanyuan Hall, she had already made a decision.

The flesh and blood that had been conceived hard in October was quietly serving her at the moment, with a smile on his mouth, he was handsome, he was outstanding, and he made his demanding mother proud.But the most honorable woman in Xie Kingdom felt that his face was so strange.

Conjectures that no longer need to be confirmed swept through her mind frantically, she closed her eyes, and a cloudy tear flowed slowly from the corner of her wrinkled eyes.

"Qilang, there are no outsiders here, tell me the truth, your brother...is it you..."

"The emperor's brother has already left by the crane, and the queen mother should think more about the living."

The King of Changsha spoke gently, with a leisurely attitude that everything was under control.

"It is because of you who are alive that I deprive the queen of power! But I am your mother queen, and I want to know the truth! Not the lies that fool the world!"

"The truth is that the prince's behavior is bad. He was reprimanded by the emperor's brother when he was hunting. When he was angry, he had the idea of ​​a beast. As a result, the emperor's brother accidentally fell off the cliff when he was chasing the deer. He was seriously injured and died. The prince knew that he had sinned deeply, so he fled into exile."

"Shut up! You rebellious son! You can even kill your own brother. If the queen mother didn't make a decision that is beneficial to you, are you planning to make the queen mother—"

"The queen mother is the mother of a country. If the current situation is urgent and I have to do something disrespectful to you, I will only ask the queen mother to make such a small sacrifice for the ninety-five position of the child. I will never dare to force it .”

King Changsha said softly, knelt down on one knee, and folded his hands in front of his mother's knees, as if acting like a baby.

She stroked his hand.

The King of Changsha has a pair of white and delicate hands like a woman's, but the calluses on the palms make his mother realize clearly that years of fine clothes and fine food have not dampened his ambition, and he is burning with desire and crazy.

"You... are worse than a beast!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your compliment."

His head rested on his mother's lap, and the King of Changsha groaned in pain: "My queen, as a beast, is like being born in the royal family. I can't make a choice... I can't control my desires... I think If I want the throne, I want my brother to die... It's been 13 years, I've endured it for too long, I can't bear it any longer! Queen Mother, I will become a beast, and you have a share of the credit. If it wasn't for you, I..."

"Bastard! Kneel down! Kneel down in front of your brother!"

It is unimaginable that this soon-to-be-worn body could make such a sharp and high-pitched cry. Changsha King accepted it calmly. He withdrew his hands, lifted his clothes and knelt down in front of the dragon chair, bowing his head and brows, as if there was someone on the dragon chair. The ghost of the emperor's brother is looking at him.

The empress dowager struggled to stand up, and the dragon head inlaid with night pearls viciously smashed the back of Changsha king again and again, so crazy that she wished to kill him immediately.

"You bastard!"

"You beast that kills brothers and deceives sisters!"

"Beasts!"

……

King Changsha endured his mother's resentment, even though the blood seeped out and left deep black water stains on the purple shirt, his straight waist did not shake at all.

Squinting his eyes, the sound of scolding came to his ears, intoxicating like the sound of nature.

Finally, the old lady collapsed, she threw down the blood-stained crutches, and began to cry.

"Why, why did I give birth to you, a beast! What crime did I do in my previous life!"

"Mother, the matter has come to this point, there is no way out for you and me. I know that I am worse than a beast, and I also know that I am heinous, so I should be delayed. If the mother summons all the officials tomorrow, and publicly announces my crimes. Whether it is murdering my brother or bullying my sister, Or framing my nephew, as long as it comes from the mouth of the queen mother, I will not justify it, I will plead guilty and be executed."

"you you you……"

"What comes out of the queen mother's mouth is the truth."

"You...resentment!"

The heart pumped out blood hard, nourishing the body that was about to be exhausted. The empress dowager slowly closed her eyes, thinking of the emperor who had passed away, feeling sad.

Saburo wants Agan to inherit the Datong to the point of unscrupulous.However, he had just passed away, and the woman who raised him wanted to support the person who was probably his murderer to ascend to the throne, because——

"If he is still alive, he will definitely resent me, the empress who doesn't know right from wrong."

But out of mother's selfishness, for her only flesh and blood, she has no choice.

Even if he is indeed the real culprit who killed Saburo, it will not affect her choice.

She took the first step, and there was no way out.

She quietly looked at the Tai Chi Hall in the dark night, and the coffin standing in the center of the hall was as unfathomable as a black hole.

She trembled her lips, and said in a voice that only King Changsha and herself could hear, "I don't care who killed you, or whether I made the worst choice, you are already dead, you Already dead! Only the living are the most important!"

"Only the living are the most important."

She repeated mutteringly, fortunately, except for his bad morals, King Changsha was not a bad choice.
