Chapter 174 The Ancient Emperor's Last Wish 5
The queen never pleaded for her son from beginning to end, her heart and eyes were full of her father and brother.
Gu Laoliu agreed to her wish, "In that case, Fan Xie does not have to go to the cold palace. He will be imprisoned and exiled three thousand miles away with the Fan family."
After dealing with the matter of the Left Prime Minister, he also ordered the Imperial Guards to take the eldest prince to the clan house. He did not resist or cry out for injustice. He numbly watched his mother leave with the Fan family without even looking at his own son.
There were three princes, one became the crown prince, another was deposed, and there was a second prince.
Gu Laoliu didn't even look at him, and said lightly: "Appoint the second prince as the Prince of Leisure, and move out of the palace today."
Having done something big in the morning court, he felt that his mission was accomplished, so he decided not to play with them and went back to eat.
The time for court session is too early. We have to start court at dawn. I don’t know who came up with this idea, but we have to go to court every day.
How about changing it to Chenshi in the future, and holding court once every three days?
Forget it. When he brings back a grown-up talent, he will take his daughter to the battlefield and let the prince go to court. Children don't get much sleep, so he believes he can do it.
Nanbo Wangao said, "If you have something to report, please do so. If not, let's dismiss the court."
The Third Prince's position as Crown Prince was secured, but all the civil and military officials were unhappy. They supported the First Emperor, the Second Prince, and some even supported Prince Yi's rebellion, but no one supported the Third Prince.
The emperor's morning court today caught them off guard, and everyone left the court hall in a daze. With the incident with the left prime minister in the past, they were more afraid that the shameful things they had done would suddenly be discovered by the emperor.
Gu Laoliu didn't care what the ministers were feeling. Anyway, he was in a good mood.
When he returned to Chengxuan Palace and saw Chang'an still sleeping, he did not disturb her. He picked up a book, sat on the chaise longue under the window with his legs crossed, and read.
When Concubine Shu learned that the Second Emperor was given the title of Prince of Idleness and was ordered to move out of the palace, she ignored everything else and dragged the pale-faced Second Prince to Chengxuan Palace to find the Emperor.
Then he was stopped by the Second Prince, "Mother, don't go, it's useless." He realized that the Emperor wanted to clear the obstacles for the Crown Prince.
The Empress and the eldest prince should not have known about what the Left Prime Minister had done, but the Emperor implicated the Empress and the eldest prince and directly deposed him, causing him to be locked up in the clan house for the rest of his life.
He was afraid that if they made trouble, the emperor might not show mercy. This was already the best outcome for him.
"Mother, now that things have come to this, we can only plan slowly in the future."
Concubine Shu calmed down, and then thought about the emperor's words that he would demote her to a commoner. Her face turned pale and she was glad that she didn't go.
After breakfast, Gu Laoliu and the prince were reviewing memorials in the imperial study. Chang'an found it boring and did not go with them.
She took a stroll in the Imperial Garden, which was undergoing renovation. All the precious flowers and plants had been removed, creating a lot of space.
There were many palace maids and eunuchs who lived off the land in the palace, and now they were all taken out to farm.
I can imagine how distraught those ministers would be if they knew that the imperial gardens had been violently converted into farmland. There must have been another pile of memorials.
Just as Chang'an thought, nine out of ten memorials that Gu Laoliu and the Crown Prince read were about the Imperial Garden.
"Tsk, it seems they are too idle," Gu Laoliu threw the memorial to the ground and glanced at the prince who was reading it seriously.
"Prince, how do you think this matter can be resolved?"
Gu Mo pursed his lips and was silent for a while. He was wondering whether he should tell the truth? Would he be beaten to death by his great father? It would be even better if he could be deposed as the crown prince.
Gu Laoliu seemed to have seen what he was thinking. "You are definitely going to be the crown prince. If you dare to give up, I will beat you to death."
"I think the ministers are right. The imperial palace is the face of Daye. If envoys from other countries come to visit and see crops planted in the imperial garden and palace servants working in the fields, how will they view Daye?"
"Tsk, only the weak need external things to decorate their facade. Envoys? Beat them all. After unification, there will be no envoys. Why should we care what they think?"
Gu Laoliu spoke of the unification of the world as casually as if he was talking about what to have for lunch.
The prince opened his eyes wide, a little shocked, but also felt it was natural. He had an inexplicable trust in Gu Laoliu and believed that there was nothing in the world that he could not do.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and work, see how many sacks are left." Gu Laoliu looked at the memorial in his hand with disdain, then looked at the prince with great disdain, and sighed again in his heart that his daughter was less of a worry to him.
His daughter is uneducated and doesn't need to be taught anything. She relies entirely on her fighting skills to solve problems.
His uneducated daughter was strolling in the imperial garden and saw all the concubines who were taken out to do farm work. She also looked at the original owner's mother, Concubine Shu.
They were all spoiled and pampered. When asked to dig the ground or pull up some grass, they cried as if their parents had died. The Crown Prince's mother, the newly appointed Imperial Concubine, was their supervisor.
Her smile formed a sharp contrast with the group of crying concubines.
The Imperial Noble Consort thought the Emperor's idea was a good one. If her son's future concubines liked to stir up trouble, she would let them farm.
Concubine Shu had a sad face. When she looked up, she saw Chang'an walking past her with his hands behind his back.
She dropped the hoe in her hand and ran towards Chang'an. She wanted to call Chang'an, but suddenly stopped. Then she remembered that her daughter was three years old and she still hadn't given her a formal name. She had always called her "dead girl".
We definitely can't call her a dead girl at this moment. There are so many people here. The emperor might find out about it as soon as she calls him.
I had to call her, "Little Princess, Little Princess."
Chang'an ignored her and continued walking forward. She was going to see the hostage of Yu State. He was one of the male protagonists, and when the female protagonist became the empress, she took him into the harem.
However, this proton was a special existence. Unlike other lickers, he never let the Queen touch him until his death, and became the mole in the Queen's heart.
Seeing that Chang'an ignored her, Concubine Shu was furious. Her anger controlled her brain. "You stupid girl, didn't you hear your mother calling you? Do you think you can deny your mother just because you are favored by His Majesty?"
Chang'an just felt that this woman was sick. After all, the original owner was her biological daughter, so why did she act as if she had a grudge against her?
The palace maid following Chang'an stepped forward to stop Concubine Shu, but Chang'an didn't even look at her and continued walking forward.
"You stupid girl, stop right there."
"Pa", a heavy slap hit Concubine Shu's face. The little palace maid received an order from Gu Laoliu that no matter who dared to disrespect the little princess, she could slap her directly without reporting to him.
It was the first time in five years since entering the palace that the little palace maid slapped a concubine. She felt so happy that she looked at Concubine Shu with sparkling eyes, waiting for her to make a scene before she could continue to slap her.
Shufei did not let her down. She covered her face and cursed viciously, "Bitch, how dare you hit me? Someone, come, kill this bitch with a stick for me."
No one dared to step forward, and everyone pretended to be busy. Only Concubine Shu's personal maid stepped forward, but was stopped.
"Don't go. Just wait and see. In less than a day, there will be no more concubines in the palace."
The young eunuch had a mysterious look on his face. Looking at these concubines who were farming, he wondered what the difference was between them and the palace servants. He blindly guessed that His Majesty wanted to clean up the harem.
