Chapter 181 The Last Wish of the Ancient Emperor 12 (End)
He Shi glanced at the four people including Tai Shi and saw that they were also looking at him, with a clear expression on their faces saying, "Hurry up and agree to it, don't be ungrateful."
The corner of his mouth twitched. Shouldn't you oppose it? Aren't you afraid of the monopoly of power by the in-laws?
After all, he holds military power. If there is another queen in his family, it is hard to guarantee that power will not fuel his ambitions.
Of course he was afraid that others would think so. He himself did not have that ambition. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. He did not want to be so tired and wanted to live a few more years.
Of course the five of them would not object. Now they were die-hard fans of Gu Laoliu. Whatever Gu Lao said was right. Even if he said he wanted to find a man to be the queen for the little emperor, they would not object.
The ministers were not interested, but Gu Mo had his own opinion. "Father, I already have someone I like. Can you let me make the decision on who will be the queen?"
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes and almost couldn't help but go forward and beat him up. He had lost his mind.
What good things are you thinking? It's a great honor for a concubine to be named a concubine.
Seeing that he was about to bang his head against the wall for love, Chang'an also wanted to knock open his brain to see what was inside.
Gu Laoliu said sarcastically, "Tsk, tsk!" "I thought after teaching you for so many years, you would have become a little smarter, but I didn't expect you to be a fool who was played around by a scheming woman."
"Father?" Gu Mo looked up at Gu Laoliu in disbelief, as if he didn't expect him to say that about his sweetheart.
"I'm not in the mood to care about your love affairs. Since you like that concubine's daughter so much, you should just abdicate and become a commoner so that you can live happily with her."
The cold words came out of Gu Laoliu's mouth. The empress dowager turned pale with fright and fell to her knees. "Your Majesty, please calm down. The emperor was just confused for a moment. Please give him another chance."
"Oh, if a fool who can't even see through women's tricks were to govern the country, it would be a disaster for all the people in the world."
Gu Mo's face turned pale with cold sweat. He could see the seriousness in Gu Laoliu's eyes. He really wanted to replace him.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to being the emperor. Seeing Daye getting better little by little under his leadership, he seems to have found the meaning of being an emperor.
The brain that had kept him away from home suddenly came back to him. He had been with Gu Laoliu for so long that he had some understanding of his temper. He would not say anything bad about anyone for no reason. If he did, it must be that person's problem and he did not like him.
So Lin Yue really had been using his feelings to deceive him, just as his father had said.
My father has taken a fancy to the second legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and wants to marry her to be his queen. That woman must have something extraordinary, otherwise why not the eldest legitimate daughter?
The little emperor, who had regained his consciousness, knelt down and apologized, "I have been blinded by love, please punish me, father."
Several adults looked left and right but didn't look at the little emperor. They supported the emperor emeritus and would assist whoever he chose to be emperor. So it didn't matter to them who became the emperor.
"Stand up, Left Prime Minister, draft an edict to confer the title of Empress Shude on He Weiyang, the second daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. Order the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to select an auspicious date for the wedding of the Emperor and the Empress, and the ceremony of conferring the title of Empress will be held on the same day."
"The crown prince must be born to Empress Shude. The princes born to concubines in the harem have no right of succession. I have specially ordered the left and right prime ministers to supervise the emperor. If he disobeys my order, Empress Shude can succeed to the throne."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. They all dropped their jaws. As expected, Old Six was a man who would not stop until he said something shocking.
But no one objected. Some even looked at the little emperor with a bit of gloating. If you don't behave, your wife can kill you and take the throne, so just be quiet.
The little emperor felt very aggrieved. Is this his biological father? They haven't even gotten married yet, but he's already siding with his daughter-in-law.
It seems that He Weiyang might indeed be a powerful person, otherwise the emperor would not have issued such an order.
Gu Laoliu added calmly, "The Minister of Rites will be demoted two levels to Vice Minister of Rites. He can't even teach his own daughter well. I doubt he is qualified for the position of Minister. No daughter of the Lin family, whether legitimate or illegitimate, is allowed to participate in the selection within three generations."
The problem of white lotus must be solved from the root. The white lotus concubine of the Lin family should have a miserable life now, because she alone has ruined the future of her other sisters, who are three generations of sisters. If this white lotus cannot be killed, she can be tortured to the point where she cannot take care of herself.
Of course, it cannot be said that it was Xiao Bailian's fault alone. The little emperor was not much better. He could not blame others for his own blindness. Since Xiao Bailian wanted to be punished, the emperor could not stay out of it.
"Come here, drag the emperor away and give him thirty lashes of the cane to teach him a lesson. If his eyes are covered with shit, he can be saved. But if his brain is filled with shit, it will be a disaster for the people of Daye."
No one pleaded for the little emperor. Although the empress dowager felt distressed, she did not plead for him either. She just wanted him to learn a lesson, so that he wouldn't bring some messy women into the harem in the future. That would really annoy her.
The little emperor accepted the punishment obediently, but the beating with the stick left him with a psychological trauma towards girls.
Maybe the beating had an effect. After the young emperor married He Weiyang, he didn't dare to look at other girls except the queen.
The couple worked together to govern the empire. Two years later, the queen gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, who was named crown prince when he was one month old.
Gu Laoliu looked at the child's future and fate and thought that he might be a little crazy in the future, but he would be a wise ruler and a good king in the hearts of the people.
After confirming that the next generation was not a prodigal, Gu Laoliu found an excuse to travel and took Chang'an and the others away from this dimension.
When I returned to the courtyard at the ferry, no one was home. The flowers on the table were very bright. It seemed that the senior year students had just left not long ago.
Chang'an took her father to stroll in the Wangchuan River again. On the bank of the Wangchuan River, there was a new soul wandering on the shore. It looked like it wanted to jump but didn't want to jump. Chang'an was a little anxious and wanted to kick her off.
She might be afraid, or she might have figured it out, so the new soul turned around and left.
Changan picked two red spider lilies, held them in his hands and went to see Meng Po.
Meng Po looked at the two red spider lilies in her hand speechlessly, and asked, "Can you be more careful?" You can't be so perfunctory.
After giving two flowers to Meng Po, the father and daughter strolled back to the ferry.
They came back just in time. Dayi was hosting a father and daughter. The father looked a bit like the legendary brain-dead boss. The girl was about five years old and looked a little confused. She might not even know her own age.
"I will agree to any condition. Please help me get revenge, get custody of the child, and make sure the Gu family is gone from the capital."
"Yes, but I will need to use two-thirds of your merits in exchange. I will not extend your life, please understand!"
"it is good"
After that person finished speaking, the group of four left. The sophomore stretched out his Erkang hand, and someone was missing.
