The queen held his hand and shed tears, "You just think it's my selfishness. Back then, he did this because he was guilty of the crown prince. Exiled to Qiongzhou, not to mention the hardships their couple suffered along the way, only the death of their only daughter made me suffer. Uneasy day and night. I always want to do something for them. It is true that after you go, the crown prince can call them back and even rehabilitate them, but how can it be the same? He is your subject, your prime minister, You exiled him, you should have brought him back."

  The emperor opened his mouth and grabbed the queen's hand tightly.

   "Tai Fu always said that knowing mistakes can make a big difference. You can, you can change it." Tears fell from the queen, "He is the child we have seen since childhood, do you really have the heart?"

   "Okay," the emperor said sternly: "I called him back!"

   As soon as this sentence came out, the emperor's spirit was clear, and he felt that his heart had been heavy all the time, as if his heart was loose. It turned out that when he thought he was righteous, he was not guilty.

   Over the years, the emperor has been deliberately not thinking about Taifu, Qin Wentian and Qin Xinfang, just because he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.

   Knowing only at this time, he thought it would be easier if he didn't think about them, but he didn't expect that the boulder had been pressing against him.

The Emperor    said suddenly: "I'll make a crime against myself."

   "What?" The Queen looked up in amazement.

After the emperor said this sentence, he found that the latter words were not so difficult to say, "I swore before the father and emperor that I would do my best to make the troops of Great Chu strong, prosperous and prosperous. I didn't do the same thing, but fell into the hands of the Tartars again, humiliated the glory of the ancestors, and felt ashamed of the people of the world, so I will punish myself."

  The queen was silent, put her other hand on his hand, and buried her face in his hand, the emperor felt his palm wet.

   He looked at the top of the queen's hair silently. She was also old. The black hair that used to be full of hair had turned gray, and was hidden in the hair thinly, but there were too many gray hairs, and they couldn't hide it tightly at all.

  The emperor felt guilty, and he still suffered her all these years.

   At this time, the queen was equally complicated, and she blamed herself. Except for natural disasters, ordinary emperors would not commit sins, let alone in today's time when love of face is better than life?

In fact, he was not like this before. In the first 15 years after taking office, the emperor was called the King of Sage. Most ministers.

For the first five years, he was dedicated to seeking revenge on the Tartars, so whenever the Tartars were looking for trouble, he would find an excuse to send troops. The wars were big or small, winning more or losing less, so the Tatars never dared to commit large-scale violations of borders and borders. People's life is getting better day by day.

   In addition, at that time, he was determined to be a sage, and the entire Great Chu was lightly swindled and paid. In addition, he encouraged business, and the life of the people of Great Chu became better and better.

The most direct manifestation is the prosperity of the academy. At that time, whether it was men's school, women's school, official school or private school, it was very prosperous. In the past, it was difficult for a whole family to support a scholar, but this was not the case more than 20 years ago. Small landlords and rich peasants would send their children to school, and even women were sent to academies.

First, the imperial court supported education at that time, and even private schools gave a lot of subsidies, and the husband received very little for repairs, and because the academy was prosperous, students could go to the bookstore to copy books or make money with knowledge after reading. You can provide your own expenses, which shows the prosperity of the business and the academy at that time.

Second, the status of women is not weak. Women who have read and read are not only better at marrying, but they can also find high-paying jobs outside. Even if they are not married, they can live well by themselves. Therefore, parents who love their daughters are willing to Send the girls to school.

   At that time, Da Chu was thriving, even if the queen would sometimes be complacent and want to be the queen of the holy monarch, she could also leave a name in the history.

   But some people will change after all. Maybe it’s because their comfortable days are too long and they are flattered a lot, and people gradually become unable to listen to admonitions and blame any more, and then go further and further on the road.

  Everyone scolded Lan's concubine as a traitor, thinking that it was Concubine Lan who seduced the emperor. Only she and Qin Xinfang knew that it was the emperor who changed himself.

Before the Lan family entered the palace, the emperor became more and more fond of enjoyment. In the past, there were only four dishes and one soup for a meal, and he would regret it if he couldn’t finish it, so the imperial kitchen would reduce the amount next time, but Da Chu became more and more prosperous, and the national treasury became more and more prosperous. With each passing day, his requirements for himself are no longer so strict. Because he likes food, he starts to order food from the imperial kitchen. Hearing from the outside, all kinds of delicious food will also be offered to the imperial kitchen for research, starting from four dishes and one soup. It turned into six dishes and one soup, and then turned into eight dishes and two soups. In the end, even if he didn't say anything, the people in the imperial kitchen would go to great lengths to study all kinds of food according to his taste.

   What's good on the top, what's going to be worse on the bottom!

  Because Qin Taifu and Qin Linggong supported education and the emperor condoned it, the academy was extremely prosperous. Because the emperor began to indulge in pleasure, the following also began to be extravagant and pleasure.

  First, the emperor's relied ministers began to embezzle. The emperor wanted to be a benevolent prince. He didn't want to let the historian say that he was strict.

So far, a precedent has been set. From then on, from the cabinet to the ninth-rank petty officials, they all began to scrap the people’s fat and the people. There were people who were honest and upright. She even told the emperor about this problem. Corrupt officials were mostly dismissed from office, and only a few were exiled.

  The wind of greed and cruelty was hard to restrain once it started. Seeing that the emperor was being led more and more by the ministers, the queen had no choice but to be anxious. She persuaded her and even had a conflict with the emperor.

  Effective persuasion is meaningful, knowing that it is ineffective and insisting on doing it is stupid, so she can only focus on the prince, hoping that at least her son will not be influenced by his father.

   Who would have guessed that their father and son would go further and further, with political disagreements at first, and even opposite attitudes towards life in the end, and the contradiction between father and son deepened.

  So the queen knew that even if there was no Lan family, the emperor would not like the prince and would find a way to abolish the prince.

   From then on, she began to deliberately make some arrangements, even if they really went to the worst step in the end, at least they could leave a bloodline.

  It was also at this time that a minister suggested to pick a draft girl in order to please the emperor.

The treasury of the first emperor was empty. In order to recuperate, he abolished the folk practice of picking talented women and only allowed the palace servants to buy and sell good people who were slaves to the palace. Therefore, in the past 30 years, the number of women in the harem was the least, and the number of concubines was also high. From the family of officials below the third grade.

At that time, the treasury was full, food and clothing were full, and the emperor agreed without thinking. Even the empress did not pay much attention to it at that time, because the scope of selection was not wide at that time, and a notice was issued half a year in advance. People who are interested also have time to get married to their daughter to avoid the draft. At that time, she was more worried about the water conservancy problem of the Yellow River. How could she know that this draft would recruit a big enemy for herself?

   Lan entered the palace in this draft. The emperor fell in love with her at first sight. Lan was indeed very beautiful, more beautiful than most of the people in the palace.

   He was promoted from talent to concubine in less than a year, and was promoted to concubine in less than two years. After giving birth to the fourth prince, he was directly named a noble concubine.

But the queen really didn't take her seriously. Her opponents have always been the emperor, the ministers of the previous dynasty, or even the Tartars, but not Concubine Lan, even if she was forced to be banned from Kunning Palace, she Not too annoyed.

  Because that was the emperor's decision, it was useless for her to reverse the trend and defeat Concubine Lan, because the emperor's heart changed, and there would be others without Concubine Lan.

And Concubine Lan Gui is better for her, because she is only the daughter of a mill, and she has to rely on the emperor for everything. Even if she has many ministers, once she loses the emperor's favor, those ministers will leave her. .

   Unlike her, even if her family is down, the family is there, and the background is there. She doesn't have to do anything for her, just by virtue of her reputation, she will have a group of relatives and friends available.

  As long as Qin Xinfang is still standing behind the prince, she will have a half-dynasty elder to rely on, and even if she does not rely on the emperor, she can ensure that she and the prince are safe and sound.

   The premise is that the emperor is not crazy.

   But fifteen years ago, the emperor went crazy, and he was so crazy that he couldn't listen to anyone, including Concubine Lan.

   At that time, the queen wanted to suppress Concubine Lan Gui, forcing her to intercede for the prince, but when she saw the emperor's madness, she knew that it would be useless if Concubine Lan Gui said anything.

He wants to abolish the prince, not only because he wants the fourth prince to take the throne, but also because the prince and him are contrary to him in terms of ideals and attitudes towards life. If there is a son who is against him everywhere, who would think of leaving the entire family business to him he?

   He is not without a son, not to mention he has another beloved son.

  So the queen could only suppress her thoughts and try to find other solutions, but she couldn't find it, and it was thanks to Qin Xinfang that she was able to reverse the defeat.

But now, looking at the weak but more awake emperor, the queen couldn't help but feel sad. She still doesn't know why her husband, her majesty would have become the same as before, if it wasn't for him little by little Changed, she almost thought that someone had replaced him.

The emperor looked at the queen silently, and after a while, he reached out and patted her on the shoulder and said: "Let the important ministers in the cabinet come, the prince's enthronement should also be prepared, and Tartar, if such a big thing happens, we have to give They go to a letter, and they have to find someone with great literary talent to write the letter."

Queen    raised her head, wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Then who else is there to look for, why don't you ask Mr. You'an to come?"

   "Junde is good, but peaceful," the emperor couldn't help but curled his lips, "That kid is not broad-minded, so please don't learn from him."

The Queen    asked with a smile, "Can he be smaller than yours?"

The Emperor    couldn't help staring at her, "Where is my heart so small?"

   But he still agreed to the drafting of the document by Gu Jingyun.

The Queen breathed a sigh of relief, Qin Xinfang was recalled, and the emperor issued an edict, which was equivalent to rehabilitating, and it was the emperor who sentenced him to exile back then. When this is mentioned in the history books, we will know that Qin Xinfang is true. They were wronged, and it was not wrong for him to bear the wrongs for them for so many years in vain.

   And Gu Jingyun was able to draft documents, which means that his house arrest is over, and the crime of deceiving the king is over, right?
