Chapter 179 The Wise King Agreed
"Promise him and help them! Prince, I just want you to take sides. It's nothing, really. It's just a statement at that time. It's nothing. Why do you just...just won't agree? Mother was supposed to be buried with father. Don't worry about mother's condition...why don't you?"
The wise king was very surprised, Qingyue was very understanding!
How come it has become like this now?
Was she frightened by Chang Xixi? The virtuous king looked at Qingyue with great difficulty. He had already made up his mind whether to agree to Chang Xixi and Gu Rongyu's request.
In his opinion, a very small action could indeed influence the political situation, and he would not be angered by the emperor, as he was just doing an ordinary action.
Therefore, he felt that this matter... did not seem to be a big problem. Qingyue was the person he had decided to spend his life with.
Thinking that it was a life-saving grace, he felt that this thing could be done, there was nothing that could not be done! Without Qingyue, his life and heart would have long been wandering in the sky, how could he still be alive.
Think about what kind of life he has lived in the past two years?
He spent all day entertaining people, meeting those useless princes and ministers, listening to their flattery and fawning, or even their sycophantic praise. He felt like he wasn't living, and living... but also like he wasn't living. He felt like a walking corpse... There was nothing worth being happy about.
With Qingyue's arrival, his remaining life seemed to be filled with light, everything he did would be clean, and life would not be so difficult anymore. This was what he thought.
He was planning to agree to Chang Xixi's request, but he hadn't found the opportunity yet... So, he just didn't know why Qingyue's reaction was so big! He was actually very sad!
Whenever Qingyue felt uncomfortable, he would feel uncomfortable too, and his whole heart was tied to her.
The virtuous king felt it necessary to explain to Qingyue, "Did you meet Madam Chang today? Did she come to tell you about this? If so... I..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qingyue, "She didn't come here to say this, she just came to...reminisce about the past with me, and she didn't have the idea of doing that."
"So, you, what is this?"
"I just feel that I owe Chang Xixi a favor. You and I are now husband and wife, and we are one. There is no distinction between you and me. If you don't agree and keep silent, it means that I don't agree and I won't say anything! Therefore, I feel... sad. That's why I want to question you. I don't want our relationship to fade because of other things. I also don't want outsiders to criticize that our previous relationship was not harmonious."
Qingyue's words were equivalent to a confession to the wise king.
The virtuous prince also heard some of her inner thoughts and felt that Qingyue was doing this for himself and the palace. He nodded and replied, "I thought about it on the way back home. It's really no big deal. Mother, you asked me to decide these things on my own and told me not to feel any guilt. She and father would eventually reach that point, which is understandable! As for me, I can do whatever I like."
"What's your decision?"
"This prince has decided to stand on the side of the general and do his part to help the Gu family's grievances. Moreover, he also wants to unite with some court officials to do something."
"You, you want the throne?"
"I have no interest in that position. I just want to give us a comfortable life. The situation is about to change. The Crown Prince is about to board the plane, and my father's time is running out. I'm afraid that Prince Rui will raise an army to rebel, and it will take some time to suppress it. If we want to leave the capital alive, we must follow someone. Whether it's the Crown Prince or Prince Rui, we must stand on the same side as them. But I don't want my life with you to end here. I want to see the mountains and rivers of this Southern Dynasty with you. I agree with the general's opinion, that is, to follow the Crown Prince! He is at least the legitimate crown prince, and he has received years of teachings from my father and is a qualified monarch."
The virtuous king expressed his thoughts and sent someone to tell Gu Rongyu, who was in Chang Mansion, to tell him what he had promised him.
…
Gu Rongyu was very happy when he received the news!
After all, there are always more of these kinds of things, never less!
Moreover, the wise king agreed to this matter, and they were closer to clearing their grievances. After waiting for so many years... they could finally worship their ancestors at home with a legitimate reason.
Mingzhu finally wiped off the dust, and the Southern Dynasty court was able to face up to this period of history.
…
The Prime Minister was also secretly collecting evidence against him. All the things he had done back then echoed in his ears. He didn't simply want to silence the general's family. Disagreeing with them in court and blocking his path to loyalty was naturally to be killed.
The emperor had long disliked them, so how could he let the entire Gu family live?
He was the one who did the work, and his words were also based on his guess about the current emperor's intentions.
so……
He should take the blame for this, it’s no big deal.
The Prime Minister handed all the evidence to the Crown Prince, who then gave a copy to Gu Rongyu. He then contacted the people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice and threw the evidence up again.
The memorial went straight to heaven, but it only went to the prince!
And because the matter was of great importance, he had no choice but to go to the Southern Study and tell the matter to... the emperor.
When the emperor saw the evidence and the memorial submitted by the crown prince, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He pointed at the crown prince and said, "I'm not dead yet! Are you hoping for my death? So you can sit in this position? Ahem... "
The prince was very worried about the emperor's health. Over the years, he knew that the emperor always liked the virtuous king.
However, he was the child of the deceased princess, so he was loved and cherished even more. Moreover, the emperor had always trained him as the crown prince, so he was naturally adored by him.
Compared to him, King Rui is more sincere.
He stood up and helped the emperor sit down, then asked the eunuch to bring a bowl of ginseng soup and served the emperor some, which relieved his anger a lot.
The Crown Prince did not try to persuade him, but whispered, "Father, you must take good care of yourself! You must not let those evildoers succeed! I love the throne, but I am not in a hurry. You will be mine in a hundred years, so why rush now? How can you not understand my feelings? My heart has always been with you, Father."
The prince's heartfelt speech gave the emperor a reassurance and told him that no one wanted that position, but he was the prince and would eventually get it.
Don't rush at this moment!
So don't rush.
The emperor sat on the stool, breathing heavily, holding the prince's arm with one hand.
