MTL - After the Boss Retires, He Becomes Obsessed with Raising Cubs-Chapter 209 The prince who was imprisoned for slander and treason...
When the people present heard Xie Chengqi's words, their hearts subconsciously tightened. It was rumored in Beijing before that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a gentle personality, but when he entered the palace tonight, he did not hesitate to force the sixth prince to kill his mother with his own hands.
The calm and breezy appearance at that time made many people feel jealous.
Now when I heard the child sleepy and talking, I felt a bit of disgust, for fear of offending His Highness the Crown Prince, and even wanting to take his anger out on them.
"Cheng Qi."
Xie Hui's voice sounded, the little guy who just wanted to bury his head back into the quilt, then poked his head in a daze, with an indelible childishness in his voice.
"What are you doing~"
At this time, Xie Chengqi, who had been tossed until he became more awake, noticed the blood on Xie Hui's face who didn't know when it was stained, and nervously leaned over to wipe it off with his hands.
"Daddy, where are you hurt? Does it hurt? Hug."
Seeing that he was about to struggle to escape from under the quilt, Xie Hui hurriedly stretched out his hand first to hug him tightly together with the quilt.
Lu Shiwei, who was waiting by his side, understood, and hurried out, ordering someone to bring over the prince's clothes that had been hurriedly made earlier.
Xie Hui broke into the palace at night, it was cold at night, a charcoal fire was burning in the main hall, he hugged Xie Chengqi who was wrapped in a silkworm chrysalis and sat there.
Although scared by Xie Hui's stern gaze, he didn't dare to crawl out, but Xie Chengqi was still worried about his father, and the cub who usually loves cleanliness didn't dislike him at this moment, so he leaned closer and rubbed his face against his father.
"Daddy..."
Although he didn't dislike the blood on Xie Hui's face, Xie Chengqi couldn't help frowning when he smelled the blood on Xie Hui's body.
Lu Shiwei brought in the prince's court uniform that had been made in a hurry, and changed it for him in a warm place. After getting dressed, Xie Chengqi subconsciously ran back to his father, hugged his leg and raised his head.
"Where did dad get hurt?"
"No, it's all other people's blood."
Hearing this, Xie Chengqi was relieved, An An stayed there peacefully, and let Lu Shiwei help him tidy up his clothes.
The enthronement ceremony was a bit hasty, when Xie Hui was sitting on the dragon chair, it happened to be daybreak, and Xie Chengqi, who was not quite dignified when walking, walked into the hall wearing a prince's court attire.
When he ascended the throne, Xie Hui made Xie Chengqi the prince, made his biological mother the empress, and the former empress the empress dowager, without mentioning the Supreme Emperor.
The commander of the imperial forest army guarding the palace was bribed, coupled with the suspicion of the Supreme Emperor, fearing that others would seize his throne, he ordered the troops that guarded the emperor's safety to move to the outskirts of Beijing.
When they heard the news, the person sitting on the dragon chair had already changed. Without the emperor's edict, trespassing on the capital was an attempt to plot rebellion.
What's more, Xie Hui did not admit to treason, and the public said that the Supreme Emperor had a sudden illness.
There are a lot of things to deal with when she first ascended the throne, and the queen mother is free. Now her own son is the new emperor, and the concubines in the palace who used to have feuds with her are now living with their tails between their legs.
Xie Hui was busy going to court, and ordered Guard Lu to send Xie Chengqi to the Empress Dowager's palace.
The queen mother was indeed dissatisfied with the prince's involvement with the brothel girl too much before, but it was not enough to vent her anger on a child who didn't understand anything.
Besides, everyone has already gone, and it's not her fault to be left or right.
"Your name is Chengqi?"
Xie Chengqi was often brought by Xie Hui and taught by Master Xie. Although his demeanor was still unsatisfactory, fortunately, the days were long and he had enough time to teach slowly.
"Yes, my name is Xie Chengqi, grandmother."
She was born in the Xie family, which is considered prominent, but entering the palace after entering the palace was like entering a cage, and she obeyed all kinds of rules all the time. When she suddenly heard this address like an ordinary family, she was taken aback before waving at him.
"Come here and let me see."
Xie Chengqi trotted up to the Empress Dowager, stared at the cakes on the table, and forced himself to look away.
"You don't have to be too restrained here with grandma, you can eat whatever you want, but...can you wash your hands?"
Xie Chengqi paused for a moment as he wanted to get the pastries, then subconsciously shook his head. The nurse who served beside the queen mother brought a basin of water, helped him wash his hands, wiped the water with a cloth towel, and let him rest assured. Start with the pastries.
The empress dowager also heard about the important events of the previous court, and at this time her mother came to the palace to ask for an audience, and when she mentioned the empress during the chat, the empress dowager subconsciously gave the nanny a wink and asked her to take Xie Chengqi out.
"The matter of becoming a queen...has Your Majesty mentioned it to you before?"
The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea, then shook her head gently.
"Never."
"Forget it, that's fine."
The queen had also heard other people mention the matter in the crown prince's womb to herself before. Since the concubine entered the mansion, the crown prince has never visited it, and even the child she gave birth to does not like it.
It sounds hypocritical to say how much emotion there is in it.
However, it is undeniable that His Majesty can be ruthless to that brothel woman, but he cannot ignore Xie Chengqi.
The prince cannot have a mother who was born in a brothel and is just a lowly concubine. Just like the former concubine Xian, since she became His Majesty's favorite concubine, no one mentioned that past.
Mrs. Xie also thought of this level, took a sip of tea.
From this point, it can also be seen that His Majesty is firm in opposing the Crown Prince.
The queen mother raised her head from the window to see the prince who was fluttering butterflies in the yard, and smiled at her mother.
There were not many butterflies to be seen in winter, the prince finally found one that was dusty and hadn't caught it yet, so he threw the thing aside angrily, sat on the stone bench in the yard, propped his chin and sighed.
Seven days later, the trifles that had just been enthroned were sorted out, and Xie Hui was about to check Xie Chengqi's homework when he heard Lu Shiwei come in and report:
"Your Majesty, thank you, Master, for entering the palace to see you."
Most of the aristocratic families have no official positions, but this time they helped Xie Hui in the rebellion, and it was hard not to be suspicious of the people they brought out.
As an aristocratic family, but in the name of guarding the courtyard, there are many hidden guards. Their martial arts are so strong that they can enter the palace. Which emperor can not shy away from this.
After ascension to the throne, Xie Hui never dealt with matters related to the aristocratic family. He was not out of character, and he didn't want to let others see his heart chillingly. What's more, those people only helped his grandfather because of his grandfather's face. So that the future Master Xie will be difficult to behave in front of them.
"please come in."
Xie Hui took a break to check Xie Chengqi's homework, and planned to deal with the matter in front of him first.
"Grandfather, come and taste this tea."
When Mr. Xie heard that address, his tense heart suddenly relaxed, and he walked over and sat down after saluting.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mr. Xie explained his reason for coming.
"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there may not be many people available in the palace. The guards who accompanied His Majesty into the palace last time, many aristocratic families in the capital gathered together to discuss it. If His Majesty is willing to keep them as guards, then they can be counted as them." luck."
"If His Majesty is worried, it's okay to let them do rough work."
The Taishanghuang acted absurdly, was afraid of the family, and the way he wanted to remove the power from their hands was to ruin the heirs of their family.
Not to mention a family that has always been noble, even an ordinary family cannot tolerate such a thing.
Back then, they were willing to help Xie Hui in his rebellion because they trusted Master Xie.
Now after the incident, they got together to discuss it, and they decided to take a gamble, believing that the prince would not be as stupid as the emperor after he ascended the throne.
They don't intend to rebel, abolishing those things that arouse His Majesty's fear, if it can be exchanged for long-term peace, then most of the aristocratic families are willing.
After listening to Master Xie's words, Xie Hui was satisfied in his heart, but he still pretended to be polite and said a few words.
"How did this happen? I was lucky to have the help of my uncles at the beginning, but now if I accept the kindness of your uncles again..."
Master Xie felt relieved when he said that, and he was already thinking about how to say goodbye in his heart.
Xie Hui picked up the teacup, put it down after smelling the fragrance of the tea, looked at Master Xie with a smile, and said:
"Speaking of it... I also feel regretful in my heart. After all, there are so many talents from famous families, but the emperor doesn't like it very much."
In the past, in the scientific examinations, the top ranked basically had nothing to do with the aristocratic family, not because the aristocratic family had no talent, but because the Supreme Emperor deliberately suppressed them.
Xie Hui's words made Mr. Xie stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses, even though he was a person whose personality had become more stable after getting older, he was also a little lost at the moment.
The Supreme Emperor oppressed the family, although it was not that they were not allowed to participate in the scientific examination, but if they were allowed to be talented, as long as they came from a family, the final ranking would not be very good.
Master Xie and his family also have this kind of situation, he really feels extremely regretful.
If given the opportunity, those young men with great ambitions would definitely prefer to make contributions and make a name for themselves rather than traveling around the world.
"It coincides with my enthronement, which is also a happy event. I plan to open Enke after the spring of next year."
"Grandfather, I also look forward to seeing the demeanor of those aristocratic children."
Xie Hui admitted that he was worried that there were many hidden guards with high martial arts skills in the families of those aristocratic families, and those who took them in naturally had to use something to appease them.
What's more, he really felt sorry for those talented students who came from aristocratic families.
"Caomin, on behalf of all the families, I would like to thank Your Majesty first."
After accepting his gift with a smile, Xie Hui personally helped him up and ordered Guard Lu to send Master Xie to the gate of the palace.
After seeing Master Xie off, Xie recalled what he planned to do before, so he turned his head and asked:
"Where is the prince?"
"His Royal Highness is now learning riding and archery from his master. Your Majesty, do you want to call the prince?"
As soon as he heard that he was in class, Xie Hui stopped thinking.
At first, he was worried that the child was not close to him, but after getting along with him for a while, he felt that he was too clingy. If he saw him, he would definitely not be able to calm down and continue the class.
"Forget it, I'm going to see the Supreme Emperor."
This was the fastest time for Xie Hui to come back. He was straightforward and did not leave any room for trouble, even though he successfully rebelled and sat on the throne.
But he inexplicably felt that the client could not completely relieve his anger just by seeing this, and he would be fine after handling the affairs of the government.
It's a good time to go and chat with the Supreme Emperor about trivial matters.
