MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 612 Cheng Datong

Mr.

Looking at him, Mr. Xing felt for the first time that if the Earl's Mansion could recover this time, the biggest contribution must be to this eldest son!

 It is not impossible to worship him as prime minister one day!

 So with the strong recommendation of the two of them, Prince Bin’s voice became louder and louder!

One of them was once the core figure of the Queen's Party, and the other was once the driving force behind the Imperial Concubine's Party. The battle between these two factions has not come to a conclusion. Now that they can work together to recommend one person, it will naturally be overwhelming.

In addition, Gu Shaoyu, who was supposed to be in Wangzhou, led people in and out of Prince Bin's Mansion many times. Even those who were unconvinced did not dare to say anything at this moment.

 Therefore, on the day before the emperor was buried, people gathered in front of King Bin's palace.

In the palace, Concubine Hui came out of the palace in person. On the grounds that "a country cannot live without a king for a day", she hoped that Prince Bin could be honored as the next emperor.

Hundred officials also gathered here and asked Prince Bin to come out and take charge of the overall situation.

 The former dynasty and the harem were a rare unity, but the people did not know the truth. They only knew that the prince had a good reputation. Therefore, if he was appointed to the throne, everyone would have people to worship him, so they would follow the mountain and shout long live the mountain.

The Crown Prince of Bin is not the heir to the throne. If he had come forward to take the title when the emperor died, then it would naturally be a big mark in the history books in the future, and this mark would be an eternal part of his political achievements. An indelible mark.

 That's why Mr. Wen came up with such an idea.

From morning to night, until more and more people gathered to watch the excitement, the Crown Prince of Bin came out of the mansion. After taking a look at the civil and military officials and Concubine Hui in the harem, he acted quite embarrassed and candid. said.

"The little king is just a descendant of the founding emperor. If it comes to succession, I should never be the one to take the throne. Your Majesty also has three princes. No matter who he is, he is more suitable than me."

"Your Majesty, don't be humble. I have a petition here, which was jointly written by the three princes. They felt that they were unable to inherit the throne, so they, like me, petitioned Your Majesty to take over this responsibility. If you don’t agree, then we will have no choice but to kneel down!”

Minister Xing's voice was louder than the last, and in the end he knelt down into the snowdrift without any politeness at all.

Even though they were wearing thick clothes, the snow was so cold that it was possible for their knees to break when they knelt down. The ministers also followed suit, and a lot of them fell to their knees.

Seeing this, no matter how unwilling the Crown Prince was, he could only agree with a "half push and a half offer".

He took the jade seal, put on the emperor's dragon robe and cloak, and headed to the palace surrounded by people.

 When the emperor got up, the face of the Crown Prince was still bright and calm, as if he was just going to an ordinary palace banquet.

After the emperor was buried, the prince arranged everything. Prince Rong's body was sent to Jinling City as he had wished during his lifetime, and the coffin bearers were Guo Silang and the Guo family.

They had left and didn't know when they would come back, so when they left, Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi specially gave them a ride.

From the time the emperor was killed to the present, not even a month has passed, but Guo Silang has lost a lot of weight. He doesn't know if it is because he knows something, so he is like this.

Du Jingyi, Xue Niang and Mrs. Guo San said goodbye to each other, while Guo Silang and Gu Shaoyu stood on the other side in a deserted place and talked alone.

“Sixth Brother, let me ask you, is the Crown Prince the person you have chosen long ago?”

"Um."

This answer was not surprising to Guo Silang.

"Then...were you the one responsible for Prince Rong's death?"

"Um."

Guo Silang was not surprised by this answer, and he basically didn't need to ask the following questions, including the emperor, the seventh prince, the imperial concubine, the Dingping Marquis Mansion, Prime Minister Xing, and even Empress Yan who had gone crazy and was sent away to recuperate. It must be their plan.

It’s a pity that such a plan never included myself.

 So he asked a little disappointedly after a moment of silence.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" "This matter is very important..."

Before Gu Shaoyu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Guo Silang. His tone was as firm as his eyes, and he asked again.

 “Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

 This time, he got the real answer.

"The Guo family has never been optimistic about Prince Bin. Grandfather Guo has spent his whole life for the great prosperity of the people, but at the same time, he also wants the blood of the Guo family. In any case, the blood of the Guo family flows in Prince Rong. Coupled with the teachings I received when I was young, I don’t dare to gamble.”



Taking a deep breath, Guo Silang looked back at Prince Rong's coffin, and then he left without looking back.

Although the truth was bloody, it was Gu Shaoyu's last sincerity and dignity towards him, so he accepted it, so he took Prince Rong's coffin and left.

Du Jingyi asked after they had gone very far away.

 “Does the general regret it?”

 “What do you regret?”

 “I regret killing Prince Rong.”

Du Jingyi's words made Gu Shaoyu fall into silence. He didn't know how to answer.

For a moment, he felt that Prince Rong died innocently, but if he did not die, it would be extremely troublesome for the crown prince to ascend the throne. If nothing else, just the forces supporting him behind the scenes would be enough to destabilize the court. I've been feeling uneasy for a few days.

 So he shook his head and said.

"I have no regrets. His status as Prince Rong will trap him for the rest of his life. Even if he is alive, he may not be able to live a good life, so it is better to leave. The sky is high and the sea is vast, there are always other ways out, right?"

Du Jingyi smiled. She knew exactly what her husband had done, and then she suggested it.

“I have an identity that I haven’t used for a long time. It would be good if everything can be brought back to the right track.”

Gu Shaoyu sighed and smiled.

“Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Madam’s discerning eyes.”

At this point, the couple said no more, got on the carriage and headed back towards the General's Mansion.

It is windy and snowy, but everything indicates that spring will not be far away when the flowers will bloom.

 One month later, Guo Silang carried the coffin to Jinling City.

Prince Rong was buried next to Prime Minister Guo as he wished. Their mausoleum was not far from Gu's cemetery, and they looked at each other from a distance, just like when they fought side by side in the past.

 Half a year later, there was another news about Mr. Yan, the "Yanzhiqing" who had always been in trouble in Jinling City.

 Everyone who has seen him said that the young master is like jade, modest and graceful.

 It can be regarded as giving Prince Rong a relatively good ending.

As a future emperor, it is not a good thing for him to be too kind, but as himself, his kindness has given him a chance to be reborn.

Hehe, the finale is not far away~~~
