Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]

It has been three days since Concubine Chen passed away.

However, from the moment the concubine Chen closed her eyes, the crown prince never closed her eyes for a moment of rest. He was thinking about something and someone——

In the first year of Yunhong, Emperor Xiao had just ascended the throne, and he was just born that year, and his mother, Concubine Chen, was also Emperor Xiao's favorite concubine, so Emperor Xiao named him "Chen".

Thinking about it carefully, even though he hadn't been conferred the crown prince at that time, it was the happiest years in his life.

Later, Empress Xiao injured her body when she gave birth to the second princess. After being declared by the imperial physician that she could not conceive again, Emperor Xiao made him the crown prince. Later, Concubine Zhen entered the palace and gave birth to the seventh prince. From then on, everything changed. up.

His mother and concubine would only cry for Emperor Xiao all day long, and told him to work hard to keep the crown prince, so that Emperor Xiao would not forget their mother and son, and would not give him half of the care that a mother should have.In the huge palace, only Empress Xiao would give him warmth when he was cold, and such warmth was so hard to find, that he later understood that Empress Xiao approached him first to avenge Concubine Chen, and second, to realize her own ambitions. There is no turning back.

Xiao Jichen actually doesn't want to be a prince, but the concubine Chen wants him to be, and the queen wants him to be; he doesn't want to marry someone he doesn't love, the queen wants him to marry, and concubine Chen wants him to marry; Marrying more people, having more sons with different women, all this is just to keep his crown prince - they all feel that as long as they reach that position, they will have everything.

He has been sitting in this position for more than 20 years, he is really tired, but he still can't stop.

When Emperor Xiao asked him to accept another concubine, Xiao Jichen didn't understand why he didn't want to marry again. He could defy Emperor Xiao so stubbornly, but he couldn't defy the queen. Accept fate.

Before Concubine Chen left, she only held his hand and said three words: "Chen'er... If you don't want to marry again, then don't marry..."

"My concubine knows that you have been unhappy as the prince. I was wrong... I was too demanding..."

"My concubine only hopes that in the future... you can spend your whole life with the person you love."

These are the last few words left to him by his mother and concubine. After saying these words, he will never be able to hear this woman speak again, and call him "Chen'er". Until she died, she thought he loved her... She is a princess, and she thought that he insisted on not marrying because she had something to do with her. She was very happy that her son was not like his father, who was a loving emperor.

As for the person he has been thinking about all this time, only a letter from the eunuch was sent. The letter first said that he should not be too sad about the concubine Chen, second, advised him to marry another side concubine to keep the position in the East Palace, and third, said that if he really If he doesn't want to marry again, then he will find a way to let the princess give birth to another child for him.

At this point, Xiao Jichen finally understood that life is like a chess game, with one wrong step and one wrong step.

His chessboard has been wrong as early as 20 years ago, and now he has played all the moves in his hands, but in the end it is just a dead end.

And Xiao Jining, after hearing the news Jing Yuan told him, was so startled that he took two steps back one after another, not daring to say anything: "Prince, how could he be in power...to commit suicide?"

Xiao Jining didn't even know how he said those last two words. In his perception, suicide was a choice that a person would only make when he was in extreme despair.

In the past, he also felt that he was very unhappy, as if there was no difference between being alive and dead, but even so, he never thought of giving up his life on his own initiative.

Jingyuan never thought that the crown prince would kill himself.

He was born in the second year of Yunhong, this year is the 25th year of Yunhong, and he has lived for [-] years so far.

In this short and long 25 years, Jing Yuan thought that every day he lived, everything he did, and every step he took was within his calculations, without any mistakes.

If there is no accident, the only exception is Xiao Jining.

But now that the prince committed suicide in the court, it became his second accident.

The crown prince would die, or even die by suicide, all of which were expected by Jing Yuan, but he never thought that the crown prince would choose to do so in such a tragic way in the early court, in front of civil and military officials, and in front of Emperor Xiao. die.

The prince described his entanglement with the empress during these years, the inseparable private love; seven years ago when the eighth prince broke his tryst with the empress, he pushed the eighth prince into the water; and later the empress was worried, Worried that the Eighth Prince would tell their secrets, and even tried to poison the Eighth Prince to kill him, and that the Queen approached him in order to listen to the government behind the curtain and replace him as the empress after he ascended the throne; he also asked Emperor Xiao sadly, In [-], what did he, the crown prince, do not do well enough? Why did Emperor Xiao want to support other princes, and also wanted to find an opportunity to abolish him—one by one, one by one, the crown prince revealed these palace secrets in front of all the officials. Emperor Xiao's face was torn off and trampled on the ground. Even though Emperor Xiao was in his prime and healthy, he was still so angry that the prince and queen vomited blood.

And Jingyuan was caught among the officials, watching all this indifferently, even when the prince took out the sword and put it on his neck, the expression on his face did not change at all.

Until the prince's warm blood splashed on his face, he looked at Emperor Xiao and said: "I don't ask for the throne, glory, true love, or the love of the person I admire in this life. .” After dying, Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the young man in the pool of blood that was getting colder and no longer making a sound, he actually felt the sorrow of the death of a rabbit and fox, and the sorrow of others. From some angles, he and the prince are so similar. Their ending, maybe It will be the same in the end.

"Your Highness, go back." Jing Yuan looked down at Xiao Jining, and said softly, "The emperor has killed all the palace servants on duty in the Xuanzheng Palace today, and strictly ordered all the officials to disclose this matter to the outside world. After you go back, treat it as if you never heard of it Jingyuan said these words."

Xiao Jining returned to Chongyang Palace with a dazed expression. The moment he sat down in the room, the majestic and sad bells rang throughout the palace. A total of 27 mourning tones announced the passing of the prince Xiao Jichen.

Perhaps it was because the old concubine Chen had just left, and Xiaodi's old love was unforgettable, or maybe it was to stop the criticism from all officials, Xiaodi did not pursue the prince's responsibility after the death of the prince, but still buried the prince with the ceremony of the East Palace, and he only declared that the prince The death of his biological mother was so painful that he was bedridden and eventually died of illness.As for the queen, because of the frequent loss in the palace, she was exhausted, and she was also sick, so she "couldn't recover from illness" in Changle Palace.

But Xiao Jining knew that Empress Xiao might "die" in a year, or even a few months.

Emperor Xiao's actions may be due to his good intentions and not to pursue them. It may be because he was poked at a sore spot by the prince and he felt remorse. It may also be because he is afraid that if the prince and queen's infidelity is heard, it will affect his life. Ming Jun's reputation.

After all, Emperor Xiao has been in power for nearly thirty years, with great talents and general plans, and he has worked hard to govern the country.Who would have thought that such a man-made disaster would happen in the palace near the end of his life?Dozens of palace officials who were executed in the Xuanzheng Palace, after a few years, will anyone still remember their names?

When he was talking to Jing Yuan that day, Mu Kui stepped aside consciously and didn't hear what they were talking about. He seemed to have forgotten about it and never mentioned it again in front of Xiao Jining.As for what happened to the crown prince in Xuanzheng Hall, Xiao Jining did not tell the seventh and eighth princes. Theoretically speaking, Emperor Xiao strictly guarded against death, and they would not know the truth, but the seventh and eighth princes still noticed something by themselves and sent the prince to be buried. During the journey, the eighth prince remained expressionless, looking extremely indifferent, but when he returned to Chongyang Palace, he knelt in the room and cried bitterly, his voice was almost hoarse. The seventh prince's eyes were red, and he locked himself in the room alone for several days Drunken wine.

From autumn to winter solstice, the sound of cicadas gradually becomes desolate.

The first snow in Yunhong's [-] years fell in the capital. At this time when everything was supposed to be chilling, the palace became more popular.

This year, because of the funeral of concubine Chen and the crown prince, Emperor Xiao did not hold an autumn hunt like in previous years to inspect the riding and shooting of the princes, so under the persuasion of the empress dowager, Emperor Xiao held a harem banquet in the twelfth lunar month.

In previous years, the harem banquets were presided over by the empress, but this year the empress was seriously ill, so they had to be handed over to Concubine Gao.After the death of the crown prince, among the princes, the second prince and the seventh prince are the most popular. The second prince relies on the Xu family, and the queen mother and concubine in the back. Although the seventh prince is talented and favored by the emperor, he has no military power to rely on In addition, the fifth prince and Xiao Jining, who had military power to rely on, did not show their talents, so there were rumors inside and outside the court that maybe Emperor Xiao would change the second prince to be the crown prince soon.

In addition, there is another thing in the palace that is not big or small, that is, the person who accompanied Emperor Xiao during the banquet in the harem this year is no longer the concubine Zhen, but the pure concubine.

Just as Jingyuan had expected, after Concubine Chen passed away, Emperor Xiao was unable to face Concubine Zhen for a while, because in a sense, it was Concubine Zhen who entered the palace and took away the honor that "belongs" to Concubine Chen. Favoring made Concubine Chen fragrant and jaded, how could he think that the mistake was on his own body?But he really likes Concubine Zhen, so he finds Chunji, a substitute for Concubine Zhen who looks like her, to be his temporary pet.

Because Chunji was favored by the emperor, her status changed from "Chunji" to "Chunjieyu" a few days ago.

And this year's harem banquet in the twelfth lunar month, in order to make more laughter in the harem, Concubine Gao specially invited the famous opera troupe "Yonghuanfang" outside the palace to sing in the palace.

This theater troupe is indeed capable, not only Emperor Xiao was fascinated by watching it, but even Xiao Ji Ning and the seven or eight princes who had been in a bad mood for several months couldn't help smiling.

Chun Jieyu saw that Emperor Xiao was in a good mood and the atmosphere was suitable, so she said to Emperor Xiao: "Your Majesty, after the twelfth lunar month is over, and soon after next year, Ji Ning will be eighteen, but there are still people around him. There are no caring people, you see..."

"You're right." Emperor Xiao still stared at the stage, without looking at Chun Jieyu, just nodded and said, "It's time to point out a marriage for Ji Ning."

Chun Jieyu immediately laughed when she heard the words, leaned on Emperor Xiao's arms and shoulders with her eyes bent, and said softly: "The concubine prefers Ruan Jiaren, the daughter of the Duke Fu, and I heard that Miss Ruan has a quiet and elegant temperament, she is quite similar to Ji Ning." , I think they will be able to get along, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Ruan Jiaren?" Emperor Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "I remember her."
