Chapter 1008: Chapter 846, A Thunderclap from a Clear Sky
At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the Emperor and Prince Ping defied the Empress Dowager’s opposition and forcefully declared Xiao Yeyang as the Princely Heir, which instantly rendered the Empress Dowager unconscious, a subject all the officials couldn’t resist discussing privately.
In Daxia, filial piety governed the world, and although the Empress Dowager’s interference in Prince Ping’s appointment of a Princely Heir was inappropriate, as a son, one should not neglect a mother’s feelings and stubbornly persist. One ought to enlighten her with reason and move her with emotion to gain her consent.
For this reason, many officials had prepared to formally censure Prince Ping at the morning court session the next day.
They dared not criticize the Emperor, but Prince Ping was certainly someone they could reprimand to indirectly point a finger at the Emperor, prompting him to reflect on his actions.
Duke Cheng’en did not attend the palace banquet, but this did not prevent him from being informed about the events at the palace.
As soon as he learned that the Empress Dowager had fainted, he immediately sent people to convey a message to the Imperial Censors and officials of the Jiang Family faction, instructing them to co-sign a letter to denounce Prince Ping the next day, to blow up the issue.
It’s a big deal when the Emperor is unfilial, and once it becomes public, many things can be done.
That night, the officials didn’t sleep well, all realizing that tomorrow’s morning court would definitely be eventful.
The next morning, the officials all spiritedly entered the palace for court, but as soon as they passed through the palace gates, they heard servants buzzing with gossip. Stepping closer to listen, they were all struck dumb.
What were the servants gossiping about?
The Empress Dowager is not the Emperor’s biological mother!!!
