Chapter 578 The Day of Enthronement 9
The little chess piece hurriedly ran from the harem to the outside of Fengtian Palace to deliver the message to Duke Chengguo.
On the other side, there were also several pairs of eyes staring at them.
They were Si Muyun, Tong Yuhua and others who were taken by Eunuch Yu and others to a hall to rest for a while.
Si Muyun stood by the window, watching the scene from afar.
It’s late at night and the wind is cool.
But his back was covered in cold sweat.
I never expected that there would be such a scene in the enthronement hall today, and I never expected that the one who caused this scene was Simulan!
At that time, when he saw her coming out, Si Muyun's heart almost stopped.
This girl, has she lost her mind?
Of course, they had known for a long time that Simulan wanted to enter the palace to accompany the emperor. In fact, there was a good opportunity for her now.
She would enter the palace again after Si Nanyan was canonized as a noble concubine.
Even if she was not favored, as the sister of the imperial concubine, she could still enjoy wealth and glory in the palace. In this way, the Si family had two concubines.
But unexpectedly, she actually ruined today's coronation!
She actually did such a thing.
Tong Yuhua was already old, and she was resting in the palace today, so she didn't have any medicine with her. She soon became confused and didn't know what was going on. Gu Tingchun could only coax her to sleep.
Then, he walked over to his son.
Si Muyun gritted his teeth and said, "Mulan is looking for death?"
“…”
Gu Tingchun was silent for a moment, then said, "You, don't blame your sister either."
"Don't blame her?"
Si Muyun said fiercely: "How can I not blame her now?"
"Mu Yun, actually, this matter may not be a bad thing."
“…”
"Think about it, even though Si Nanyan can't be canonized, judging by what happened today, Mulan has already appeared before the Emperor."
“…”
"Also, it seems that Mulan is also on good terms with that Concubine Kang."
“…”
"maybe--"
"shit!"
A heavy, even angry voice came from behind.
Gu Tingchun turned around and saw that it was Gu Tingqiu.
He came rushing over, exhausted, and walked in front of them with an angry look on his face, which scared her.
Her younger brother was a famous scholar in Henan. He was elegant, well-educated and sensible. From childhood to adulthood, he was rarely seen angry.
But just now, he actually cursed himself.
Gu Tingchun immediately frowned: "Tingqiu, you——"
Gu Tingqiu gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, are you confused?"
“…”
"Your daughter has done something so foolish, and you still think she can benefit from it? In the future, if your entire Si family is not executed, and all nine generations of your clan are exterminated, it will be a great favor from Heaven!"
The entire family was executed and all nine clans were killed.
Such words frightened Gu Tingchun so much that he was stunned.
She said, "Really? Is it really that serious?"
Gu Tingqiu glared at her with a look of disappointment.
However, when Si Muyun saw Gu Tingqiu coming, he felt a little relieved and hurriedly said, "Uncle, you are finally here."
"Um."
Gu Tingqiu took a breath.
He rode here at full speed, wanting to attend today's enthronement ceremony, but he was still a little late.
It was not until evening that they entered Jinling City.
Then, I heard the news.
He was so anxious that he was extremely worried. He whipped his horse as fast as he could and almost killed it. He finally arrived here before the palace gate was closed. He not only revealed his identity but also spent a lot of money to bribe people.
Fortunately, the gatekeeper was unsure of the current situation.
Although Si Nanyan failed to be enthroned, they did not dare to offend the Si family. After all, the emperor had not yet given an official order.
After hesitating for a while, I let him in.
As soon as he came in, he heard his sister's words that were enough to infuriate him to death.
So, he didn't care about his gentlemanly demeanor and just started cursing.
Simuyun said: "Uncle, Mulan is like this today——"
Gu Tingqiu's face was pale, but his eyes were determined. He said, "You all, take advantage of tonight and immediately find a way to get the news to the harem."
"do what?"
"What to do? Show your attitude to Si Nanyan!"
“…”
"You don't know about Si Mulan's affairs, and it has nothing to do with you!"
“…”
"You must completely stand on Si Nanyan's side!"
Gu Tingchun frowned and said, "But now, all those ministers outside are opposing the emperor's canonization of Si Nanyan."
“…”
"I'm afraid this thing won't work."
“…”
"Should we still flatter her now?"
"Sister, why are you so confused?!"
Gu Tingqiu shook his head anxiously and said, "Of course these ministers are against the emperor, but who is the emperor?!"
This question stunned Gu Tingchun and Si Muyun.
Gu Tingqiu said: "Your Majesty is a very capable monarch!"
“…”
"The reasons these ministers oppose him are nothing more than clichés like 'the laws established by our ancestors cannot be changed' and 'the wishes of the Emperor Gao cannot be violated.' But have you noticed how many major actions the Emperor has taken since ascending the throne have violated the laws established by our ancestors and the wishes of the Emperor Gao?"
“…”
"When Emperor Gao was in power, he encouraged farming but devalued the status of merchants, not allowing them to travel and engage in business. But as soon as the Emperor ascended the throne, he encouraged merchants and offered them many favorable conditions."
“…”
"The Emperor closed the country's borders and forbade any contact with foreign countries."
“…”
"But what about the current emperor? Even when he was at war with Yue and Neng, he never closed the country's borders. Instead, he opened them wide. He even had people from other countries serving in the palace."
“…”
"Is he a conservative emperor?"
“…”
"I can tell you that His Majesty the Emperor will not uphold the laws passed down by our ancestors, nor the wishes of the Emperor Gao. Not only will he not uphold them, he will definitely make major reforms!"
“…”
"Anyone who can't keep up with him will be abandoned by him!"
Gu Tingchun and his mother were stunned.
After a while, Gu Tingchun hesitated and said, "But, Nan Yan——"
Gu Tingqiu added, "I'll tell you again, no matter whether Nanyan is from the Kingdom of Neng or not, no matter how much these ministers oppose her, and no matter what tricks Mulan plays with those ladies, she will definitely be canonized."
"Why?"
"There are three reasons why women in the harem can be promoted and canonized."
"What three?"
"First, they have a prominent family background and relatives serving as officials in the court. If the emperor wants to win over and employ such officials, he will naturally become in-laws with them. Currently, the empress and Concubine Kang are all examples of this."
“…”
"Secondly, it is to enrich the harem and expand the family for the emperor. The other women in the harem are no different."
“…”
"The last one is——"
"What is it?"
Gu Tingqiu took a deep breath.
"That's right, the emperor really likes it!"
