    Chapter 2582: After Liu Mu resigned, he was crowned the crown prince


    Ying Hao was also a little puzzled about Liu Mu''s decision, so he said:


    "Mu''er, haven''t I said that you don''t need to resign from the position of queen. As long as you help me lead the mastermind, you will leave a way out for Chang''e. Now that you have done it, I will naturally not be untrustworthy."


    Liu Muze bowed and said, "Husband, I''m not asking me to resign from the position of queen."


    "Oh? Why is that?"


    "Although I don''t know about Zhulong''s plan, it is ultimately because of Zhulong and Xier that Zhulong took the risk of doing so, and I can''t help but blame me.


    As the queen of the Qin Dynasty, not only did not contribute to the Qin Dynasty, but also caused such a disaster and almost caused great disaster. My concubines no longer had the shame to regard themselves as the mother of the country. ”


    Looking at Liu Mu with a guilty look on his face, Ying Hao knew that she was telling the truth. She really didn''t want to be the queen anymore, but it was definitely not all because of Zhulong. She should not want Ying Xi to fall into the battle for the throne.


    In order to protect Ying Xi''s safety, Liu Mu even prepared to send him out of the palace. It can be seen that from the very beginning, she knew that Ying Xi had too much resistance to becoming the crown prince and was unlikely to inherit Ying Hao''s throne. It would be better to just keep him away from disputes.


    Although the current crisis has been temporarily lifted, it does not mean that there will be no crisis in the future.


    As long as she is still the queen, even if Ying Xi is not the eldest son, she is also the second son and has the qualifications to inherit the throne, it will still bring dangers. So she simply resigns from the position of queen and does not give the Han court officials any hope, so she will naturally be able to completely stay away from disputes.


    After thinking through this, Ying Hao didn''t know what to say. He sighed and said, "Mu''er, you have to think clearly. If you resign from the position of queen, Xi''er will no longer be the legitimate son. If Xi''er grows up and knows, he may hate you."


    Letting Liu Mu resign as the queen is undoubtedly a good thing for Daqin, but Ying Hao had to consider Liu Mu''s feelings.


    Since learning about the ascension, Ying Hao’s thoughts and concerns have not only been for the sake of unification, but also have also been planning for the matter after his ascension.


    Liu Mu is his first wife. After fusing the soul of Houtu, her qualifications have reached a rare level in the world, and are no less than Ren Hongchang, who fused the soul of Nuwa.


    Liu Mu''s future achievements are destined to be limitless. As long as she is given enough time to practice, she will be another half-step Xuan Realm-level combat power in the future. In addition, she can also ascend with Ying Hao, and even will be with Ying Hao for hundreds or thousands of years in the next few hundred or thousands of years.


    This is also the main reason why Ying Hao accommodated Liu Mu so much that he even did not hesitate to create a system of double queens, but he was unwilling to let Liu Mu suffer grievances.


    Don’t Ying Hao know what hidden dangers the system of the two queens will bring to the Qin Dynasty?


    He knew it clearly, but he still chose to do so because in his opinion, this hidden danger was not as important as Liu Mu.


    Besides, Ying Hao also wants to believe that this hidden danger is nothing to Ying Sheng, who was born as a saint. After all, if he has such a great advantage and cannot even solve this problem, he is not worthy of inheriting Ying Hao''s position.


    The intention of keeping in Ying Hao''s words touched Liu Mu''s heart, but he insisted on resigning from the position of queen. In her heart, her son''s health and happiness are far more important than inheriting the throne.


    "I have thought about it, Xi''er will understand my painstaking efforts." Liu Mu gritted his teeth.


    Ying Hao felt a little sorry for Liu Mu when he heard this, but he still respected more. After all, as a mother, she personally deprived her son of the inheritance right. How courage and mind did she support her to make such a decision?


    Ying Hao gently hugged Liu Mu into his arms and whispered in his ear: "Mu''er, I respect your decision."


    Liu Mu was not angry at all when he lost his post. Instead, he felt relieved. She smelled the smell of Ying Hao and felt unprecedented peace in her heart.


    After appeased Liu Mu for a while, Ying Hao went to the East Palace again, after all, there was still a problem there.


    This turmoil was a complete disaster for Ren Hongchang. He was inexplicably plotted, his son was replaced, and his personal female official was even beaten to a vegetable. With Ren Hongchang''s temperament, he would naturally not give up.


    But now Zhulong is dead, and Ren Hongchang''s target of venting his anger and holding him accountable will naturally become Liu Mu and Chang''e.


    As soon as he saw Ying Hao, Ren Hongchang said directly: "Your Majesty, although Zhulong and Qin Rang are dead, Chang''e is still alive. This matter was only caused by Liu Mu. If you don''t pursue it at all, I will not be convinced."


    Ying Hao knew that if he couldn''t coax Ren Hongchang well, in the morning court not long later, Ming ministers such as Zhang Liang, Sun Lingming, Long Qi and others would collectively write a letter to seek justice for Ren Hongchang. He suddenly felt a little painful in his brain, and then asked back, "What do you think Hong''er should you do?"


    "Although Chang''e was controlled by Zhulong, she made such a big mistake, but she did it. She thought that she was successful in designing her mind, which could avoid her death. However, she could not escape the crime of living. I believe that Chang''e''s skills should be abolished, and she was sent to the prison for life.


    As for Liu Mu..."


    Speaking of Liu Mu, Ren Hongchang was also in trouble, after all, the other party was the queen just like her.


    The words that were too ruthless were suspected of revenge, but instead made her seem petty.


    But if she didn''t say anything, she would not understand the idea.


    Seeing that Ren Hongchang stopped talking, Ying Hao said, "Hong''er, just now, Mu''er took the initiative to apologize to me and resigned from the position of queen."


    "What?"


    Ren Hongchang''s face was full of shock, and he couldn''t believe it was true.


    After all, before the candidate for the crown prince is determined, both the eldest son and the second son have the chance to become the crown prince.


    But if Liu Mu resigns from the position of queen, Ying Xi will lose his status as a legitimate son and will be automatically kicked out of the crown prince candidate.


    This is equivalent to Liu Mu taking the initiative to hand over the position of crown prince to Ying Sheng.


    As soon as he thought of this, Ren Hongchang didn''t know what to say.


    She was full of resentment towards Liu Mu before, but now as Liu Mu took the initiative to resign from the position of queen, all the resentment has disappeared. "Hong''er, I will announce that I will demote Mu''er to the imperial concubine tomorrow morning and grant Sheng''er the crown prince. I wonder if this will make you feel relieved?"


    Hearing Ying Hao''s words, Ren Hongchang became a little hesitant and said, "Your Majesty, look at what you said, I am not angry, I will listen to Your Majesty."


    "Okay, since that''s the case, then this matter ends here. Don''t mention anyone in the future. Let the past pass."


    "Where is Chang''e..."


    Seeing Ying Hao doing this, Ren Hongchang didn''t dare to continue talking. She was not afraid of making her husband angry, but was afraid that her son''s position as the prince would fly away.


    After having a pair of children, now in Ren Hongchang''s heart, the children have the highest status and the husband can only rank second.


    Ying Hao did not realize that he had fallen out of favor. Seeing Ren Hongchang shut up, he said, "Although Chang''e made a big mistake, she will not die. She was imprisoned for life for a long time. However, I will order her skills to be deprived of her and deprived of all titles and positions as a punishment."


    Chang''e''s killing is definitely not allowed. As for life imprisonment, Liu Mu would not agree. To sack his skills and deprive all titles and positions is the most severe punishment for her.


    Ren Hongchang naturally had nothing to be dissatisfied with, and smiled like a flower and said, "Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, I am..."


    —————


    The next morning, Ying Hao announced in public that he would surrender the Empress of the West Palace, Liu Mu, as the Imperial Concubine.


    Although Liu Mu took the initiative to resign from Ying Hao as the queen, it is naturally impossible to say that when he announced it to the public. It can only be said that Ying Hao surrendered or demoted.


    As soon as this order was released, the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty were suddenly in an uproar.


    As we all know, the Empress of the West Palace is the emperor''s first wife, and the relationship between the two has always been very stable. Why is the Empress of the West Palace suddenly deposed the Queen of the West Palace just gave birth to the second son?


    Although the status of the imperial concubine is second only to that of the queen and is higher than that of all the concubines such as the imperial concubine, she is still the deposed queen.


    In this regard, the Han ministers were filled with some uneasiness, while the Ming ministers such as Zhang Liang all showed excitement in their eyes.


    As they expected, the first imperial edict was just a foreplay, and the real highlight was the second imperial edict, and this second imperial edict was to confer the eldest son Ying Sheng as the crown prince.


    This makes sense.


    Since His Majesty the Emperor wants to enthrone the crown prince, he must clear the obstacles for the crown prince. The Empress of the West Palace and the Second Prince are naturally the biggest obstacles for the eldest son.


    Therefore, in the eyes of the ministers of the Qin Dynasty, the first imperial edict was actually to serve the second one. Liu Mu was deposed as a queen, but to make way for the prince.


    Many Han ministers stood up and asked Ying Hao to take back his reputation. They also said that Liu Mu had never lost his virtue and had never made any inappropriate actions. They were not clear about the latter and it was difficult to convince the public.


    In addition, some Jin ministers also stood up to oppose it, but they did not oppose the deposed queen, but opposed the canonization of the crown prince. They also said that Ying Hao is now in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is a bit too early to enthrone the crown prince.


    The reason why the ministers of the Jin Dynasty opposed it was because of Ying Ying.


    After all, Ying Ying is the eldest son of the emperor, and her biological mother Mu Guiying is also a concubine. She is from the Jin clan. Before the legitimate son was born, the eldest son Ying Ying was the most likely to become the crown prince, so some Jin clan officials hope that Ying Ying would become the crown prince.


    But now that the queen has given birth to a legitimate son, Ying Ying will become the eldest son. If she is truly the crown prince, Ying Ying will really have no hope, so she will stand up for opposition in the future.


    The Han faction and some Jin factions opposed the deposed queen and enthroned the crown prince so early.


    The Ming faction headed by Zhang Liang and the Qin faction headed by Wang Meng both stood up against what they opposed.


    First of all, the Queen of the West Palace has abolished her. In terms of major issues such as the issue of the heirs of the empire, even if the Queen of the West Palace has not made any mistakes, she still needs to be abolished.


    Then there is the title of the crown prince. The crown prince is born to the queen and is also the legitimate son. Being named the crown prince is natural. The sooner the crown prince is decided, the more the prince will be avoided in the future.


    After the Ming Dynasty made this point, the royal family led by Qin Jian stood up and supported Ying Hao to abolish the queen and enthrone the crown prince.


    Ying Hao didn''t expect so many people to oppose it, but this strengthened his determination to enthrone the crown prince. After all, if this is the case now, the more serious the internal struggle will be. It is better to take this opportunity to set the position of the crown prince to prevent other princes from having unreasonable thoughts in the future.


    "You all have no need to persuade me. I have decided to give the eldest son Ying Sheng the crown prince. I respect this."


    After saying that, Ying Hao turned around and left, without giving all the ministers a chance to refute.


    The opposing ministers could not persuade Ying Hao, except for being reluctant, had no choice but to accept this fact.


    At the same time, in the Imperial Hospital.


    Sun Lingming, who had been guarding Zixia''s bed, learned that Ying Sheng was enthroned as the crown prince, immediately grabbed Zixia''s hand excitedly and shouted: "Zixia, have you heard that you are the master''s son who sacrificed your life to save. Now the younger brother is the crown prince."


    But no matter how Sun Lingming shouted, Zixia did not react at all, lying quietly on the hospital bed like a vegetable.


    Sun Lingming looked at Zixia''s beautiful face, and all the beautiful memories of his past came to his mind bit by bit, which made this tough guy who never knew what he regretted was even more regretful.


    In the past, he was immature and had no idea. He was only focused on practicing martial arts and making achievements, but ignored his lover. If God gave him another chance, he would definitely put his family first, and his Zixia was not as important as anything.


    "Zixia, my old Sun will definitely save you. Even if the other two Tianxiang cardamoms are in the sky, I will definitely find them back for you." Sun Lingming said with great firmness.
