Two years later

"My lord, the soldiers and horses have been assembled, and the actual battle can begin."

"Very good, let's keep it informed, if one side wins today, each will be rewarded with two taels of silver."

"Yes, the last general thanked the lord on behalf of the brothers first." The general who came to report happily retreated, gearing up for a good competition.Because all prefectures needed garrisons, Xie Zhang could frankly own his own army, a considerable part of which was the people he had assisted in the disaster.Since the establishment of the army, military exercises have been organized every once in a while. This is Li Jinxi's idea to strengthen actual combat experience.The emperor tried it once a year ago, and was forced by the ministers to give up the idea of ​​making the ninth prince the crown prince. This year, the emperor mentioned this matter again with a firm attitude, and he must not be able to stop it.

"Shadow One."

"Subordinates are here."

"Send someone to notify Concubine Shu, saying that the king wants to give her a gift, and it must be widely announced before the crown prince canonize it."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it immediately." After waiting for so long, this day finally came.

Ying Yi rushed to deliver the news, Concubine Shu soon received the prince's secret letter.After reading it, Concubine Shu burned the secret letter to the ground, but the contents of the letter made her unable to calm down for a long time.She pitied herself, pitied the princes who died in vain, pitied the withered women in the palace, and even pitied the blind emperor.Who would have thought that the Zhao family would be so bold that they would dare to replace the prince with a civet cat and confuse the royal family's blood. The emperor spoiled that woman all his life in vain. In the end, no amount of pampering could compare with power and ambition.

"Come here, please invite mother into the palace to talk about it. I miss her a little bit." Since you are looking for a wild man to ask for a child, I will fulfill you. This child can only be yours and the wild man's.

Gossip is human nature, especially the royal melon, which tastes sweeter.After dinner, people are discussing whether the concubine's child is of royal blood.The current emperor's childless situation for many years adds credibility to the rumors, and the courtiers inevitably know that they have never hoped that the emperor will be cuckolded like they are now.The ministers who were originally opposed to the emperor's establishment of the reserve just had an excuse to delay the time.

"Your Majesty, you should think twice about establishing a crown prince, and don't act too hastily!"

"That's right, the emperor is in his prime, so why bother to mention the establishment of the crown prince early." The establishment of the crown prince in the past dynasties was always the initiative of the ministers, but it was unexpected that Daqi would do the opposite now.

Seeing that the emotions were almost brewing, Lord Censor Yang stood up. "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to play."

"I'll talk about it later. It's important to discuss the matter of establishing a reserve now."

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the country and the country, and it is also the reason why all ministers oppose the establishment of a crown prince. Please also ask the Emperor to investigate clearly."

"Okay, I want to see what tricks you have."

The censor reported the rumors in the market during this period to the emperor one by one. All the officials knelt down and hoped that the emperor would give an explanation to the world, otherwise the hearts of the people would be turbulent and the royal family's majesty would be demolished.

"Bastard, how dare you question the concubine and the prince, what are your intentions?!"

"The emperor appeases his anger, it's just a blood test. If you prove your integrity and block the mouths of the world, I will do my best to assist the prince. It is also a good thing to have the best of both worlds."

Seeing that the prime minister had already said this, the emperor also felt that the blood test could really make the ninth prince a prince as soon as possible, and there was no storm without waves, so the emperor's heart was cast in a shadow.

"I agree to the blood test, and I hope you will abide by the agreement." After the emperor finished speaking, he left in a huff. Seeing this, the steward hurriedly announced his resignation, and hurriedly chased after the emperor.

"The emperor calms down, the emperor calms down, don't be angry and ruin your body." Director Gao comforted him.

"Hmph, these old men are like gossips, can I not be angry?" The emperor took a sip of tea, "Do you think the imperial concubine will really betray me?"

"It's not that the old ministers talk too much, not to mention the courtiers, even the servants have always had doubts in their hearts. The time of this empress's pregnancy seems to be somewhat different from the time recorded by Tong Shi."

"What, why didn't you say it earlier?" The emperor was so angry that his eyes turned black.

"Well, this old slave is not in charge of Tong Shi, but the imperial concubine took a look at the emperor after she became pregnant. I thought that the imperial doctor would be able to tell if she was pregnant for a few months after taking the pulse. It is normal for the exact number of days to vary. Yes. But now that the imperial concubine was having menstruation at that time, she would not be able to conceive."

"Bastard!" The emperor was so angry that he kicked the steward, he couldn't wait to test the marriage with blood, he was so angry that he wanted to question the imperial concubine, and no one was allowed to follow.

At this moment, the imperial concubine obviously also knew what happened in the morning, and was pacing back and forth in the palace in a hurry.The little prince didn't know the concubine's anxiety, and was still bullying the maids for fun, and insisted on riding people like horses. The emperor rushed in and saw this scene. Looking at the prince's appearance, he felt that the Ninth Prince was a bastard.

"Bitch, you did a good job!" The emperor slapped the imperial concubine's face crookedly.

"Where did your Majesty come from?" The imperial concubine felt cold, and bit the bullet to argue.

"I ask you, is the Ninth Prince my son?"

"Of course it belongs to the emperor, how can it be false?"

Seeing that the imperial concubine didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, the emperor picked up the nine princes and was about to take them away. During the push and push, the emperor slipped his foot, knocked his head on the table and passed out on the spot.The noble concubine was stunned, and the palace people cried out in alarm, and were immediately stopped by the noble concubine.

"The emperor was injured here, none of you can escape. Only the Ninth Prince can save your life now, you know what to do and what not to do."

Soon, news of the emperor's coma came from the palace. The imperial concubine took out an edict stating that the emperor wanted to make the ninth prince the crown prince, and that the throne should now be inherited by the nine princes. She also promised the clan relatives the position of regent, and immediately won some support.Just when the imperial court was in dispute over the throne, the prince issued a statement in Yuzhou, denouncing the six major crimes of the imperial concubine: first, the birth of the nine princes was unknown, the imperial concubine was dirty in the harem, and the royal blood was confused.Second, the reason for the serious injury of the Holy Majesty is unknown, and the imperial concubine's intentions are unruly.Third, it is unacceptable for a noble concubine to murder the prince and concubines.Fourth, Jiu killed the queen, and his crime should be punished.Fifth, he hired murderers to murder King Zhenbei, and sixth, he indulged his relatives in Yurou Xiangli.

As soon as the proclamation came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and the people talked about it.When the noble concubine found out, she became angry and ordered the king of Zhenbei to go to Beijing to plead guilty, otherwise she would send troops to attack Yuzhou.The noble concubine had calculated everything, but she didn't expect that the king of Zhenbei had already launched an army in the name of the Qing emperor to punish the rebels.

Not to mention that King Zhenbei's blood is pure and is the orthodox of the country, just say that the noble concubine has committed many crimes, and the ministers in the court do not want to see her take the position, and there are many hints from the local government. Most of the resistance I got was to deal with errands.
