The emperor and King Lin had a big quarrel in the Xuanqing Palace, and the quarrel was very earth-shattering, and even soldiers were dispatched on both sides.

I heard that the father-in-law of Wan Deyi, who was serving in the Xuanqing Palace, was ordered by the emperor to all his people not to be allowed to enter when they heard any movement, because the movement in the Xuanqing Hall was too intense, so he risked his life to disobey the holy decree or broke into the Xuanqing Hall with people, and what he saw was that the emperor and the king were pointing at each other.

Wan Deyi's father-in-law was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down in front of King Lin, not even daring to say the word "escort", for fear that the tip of King Lin's sword would go to the emperor's neck for another point.

In this case, it is not a big deal for the emperor to kill King Lin, but if King Lin kills the emperor in anger, it will be a big deal.

The emperor glared at King Lin angrily, his face was furious, and he said in a shocking voice: "Yuwenxuan, do you believe that I killed you?"

Yu Wenxuan snorted, and said in the same shock: "Do you believe it or not, I led the troops against you." ”

How the situation in the Xuanqing Hall developed, no one outside knew, because after that, Wan Deyi sealed all the news. I only heard that after hearing about it, the emperor was so angry that he wanted to kill King Lin, a rebellious minister and thief, for the crime of rebellion, and was persuaded by Wan Gonggong to use King Lin's hands to hold soldiers and horses. After King Lin left the palace, he led his people out of the capital and returned to the north of his town, and before leaving, he said cruelly: "Even if someone really plots against the Son of Heaven in the future, he will not send troops to help the emperor." ”

Only half a month after King Lin's departure, the emperor suddenly summoned Ning Wang Yuwen again.

No one knew what the emperor and Yuwenqi said in the Xuanqing Palace, and the people outside only knew that Yuwenqi's face turned pale after he came out of the Xuanqing Palace, and his body was weak and almost fell to the ground.

Just one day later, the emperor made a decree, in the name of King Ning's collision with the holy car, he demoted King Ning to the common people, expelled him from the clan, and at the same time confined the imperial tomb, and ordered him to guard the tomb for the first emperor and Empress Xiaozhenren for the rest of his life until his death.

Then, after the emperor dropped out of the dynasty for seven days, I heard that he even summoned the imperial doctor because of excessive grief, and even Jiang Yu, the most favored concubine, tried to persuade him.

At this time, in Jing'an Palace, the soothing incense inside became stronger and stronger. Empress Dowager Cui's headache is getting more and more serious, and the soothing incense used is getting stronger day by day. Sometimes when the headache is unbearable, the Empress Dowager Cui even needs to use Wushisan to relieve the pain.

But despite this, Empress Dowager Cui's spirit and mood today are rarely better.

Empress Dowager Cui said to Aunt Liang beside her: "It seems that it is true that it will work to let Meng Xuanyu reveal to the emperor that the death of the Bai family is related to King Ning." It also saves the emperor from counting the death of the Bai family on the head of the mourning family, although the mourning family is not afraid of the emperor's hatred, but it is also very happy to see the emperor and King Ning break up. The revenge of killing his mother is not shared, and King Ning deliberately watched the Bai family die under the knife of the mourning family for the sake of the Wan family. The mourning family wanted to see how the emperor trusted King Ning, the imperial uncle. ”

Aunt Liang smiled, but did not speak, but her face was as solemn as ever. As a person close to the Empress Dowager Cui, she almost knows all the secrets of the Empress Dowager Cui and even participates in them. But she is not very optimistic about the current situation of Empress Dowager Cui and the Cui family.

But even so, Empress Dowager Cui and the Cui family still want to make a desperate bet, and they don't want to give up the power in their hands and that supreme position. How can there be no eggs under the overturn, she, who has followed the Empress Dowager Cui all her life, can naturally only follow them and continue to walk, they succeed, she continues to be glorious, they are defeated, and she can only die with them. Don't complain about your bad luck, it's your life.

Empress Dowager Cui continued: "Now that the emperor has fallen out with King Lin, and he has also broken up with King Ning, and the only two people in the clan who hold military power no longer support him, the emperor is like a cripple who has lost his crutches, and no matter how strong he is, he is only strong outside. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Aunt Liang and said, "You send a message to the Cui family and the King of Qi, so that they can temporarily hibernate recently." No matter how the emperor dealt with them, they should not resist and endure for the time being. We can only wait now, wait until the news of the disturbance of Fanbang comes, and wait until the little military power left in the emperor's hands is stretched to take care of himself, this is our opportunity. ”

Empress Dowager Cui suddenly remembered something, and asked: "I heard that the queen asked the emperor to resign from the throne again, and she wanted to become a monk to forgive her father's and brother?" ”

Since King Lin and King Ning left, there has been peace in the court for a long time. Although Cui Ying and Cui Wen were robbed of their official titles, it seems that the court did not reshuffle the cards, and the emperor tried his best to maintain the balance of the status quo.

It's just that in this strange calm, there is a hidden haze, which makes the Chinese military officials walk cautiously recently, and there is always a stone in their hearts, as if an earth-shattering thing can happen at any time.

However, this gloomy atmosphere did not affect Jiang Yu, who was raising a baby in the harem.

Jiang Yu is still supposed to eat and drink, and listen to the gossip outside by the way.

Jiang Yu took a folding fan and gently fanned herself, listening to Gu Yu gossip with her. Now that the weather is getting hotter, Yuwenhong refuses to let her use more ice, so she can only use a fan to cool down.

After Gu Yu finished speaking, Jiang Yu's fanning action also stopped, and his voice said indifferently: "In this way, Jiang Wan is now in cahoots with Zhou Geng, not only that, Jiang Wan is also pregnant?"

When Gu Yu heard Jiang Yu say this, although her voice was still calm, there was already a coldness between her eyebrows and eyes, with disdain for Jiang Wan, and even deeper anger.

Gu Yu was also ashamed to say: "You also know what kind of person she is, it's really not strange to do this kind of thing." I heard that in order to hide her bulging belly, she didn't dare to go out of the door of the palace now, and seeing her like this, she still planned to give birth to a child. Saying that, he took a sip and said: "A widowed princess actually gave birth to a child, she is really shameless." ”

Then he sighed, and sighed for Yu Wenwei: "I just cherish His Royal Highness Chengwang, what a good person, marrying such a princess, let her shame on her face." ”

The fan in Jiang Yu's hand snapped shut and slapped on the table, and then said hatefully: "Since this is the case, don't blame me for being ruthless, let her die." ”

Gu Yu glanced at Jiang Yu and shouted, "Sister." ”

Jiang Yu said: "Although Jiang Wan and Zhu's mother and daughter have harmed me countless times, I didn't plan to kill them, but since Jiang Wan is restless, don't blame me for being ruthless." I asked her to go underground to make amends to Yu Wenwei by herself, and she couldn't die as a princess, so as not to dirty the lintel of Chengwang's mansion. ”

Jiang Yu asked again: "I heard that the Zhu family and Master Jiang are also very restless?"

Gu Yu said: "It's not, recently they often go to the Marquis Ningyuan's mansion, saying that they want to see Mrs. Ningyuanhou." Mrs. Ning Yuanhou didn't want to see them, so Lord Jiang put pressure on her father's identity. Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was forced to have no choice but to take the children to live in Zhuangzi. Later, the eldest princess of Shoushan saw them, scolded them and drove them out. ”

Jiang Yuchai also understands that Jiang Kun and his wife have been clinging to the Cui family for many years, and the core affairs of the Cui family cannot be touched, and they must have helped them do a lot of errands. Now that the Cui family seems to have lost power, Jiang Kun and his wife are afraid that they will be affected by themselves, so they naturally think of Lin Yun, the daughter of Mrs. Ning Yuanhou.

Ningyuan Marquis Xiao Changyuan is the emperor's favorite minister, and the eldest princess Shoushan is the emperor's aunt, as long as Lin Yun is willing to help, with the weight of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and Shoushan eldest princess, he can naturally make Jiang Kun safe and sound. It's just that why Lin Yu wants to help, what the Jiang family has done to the Lin family and daughter over the years, any one thing that can be hated by people can be hated, and Lin You's not retaliating can be regarded as her broad-minded.

Since Lin Yun can't be made willing, he can only be forced to act as a father. The people of the time attached great importance to filial piety, and the phrase "all parents in the world" was placed on the incense case, Jiang Kun couldn't afford Lin Yun, but Lin Yun couldn't help but talk about filial piety, and Jiang Kun would not be saved when he saw death, otherwise he would bear the infamy of unfilial piety. On the contrary, if Lin Yun saved Jiang Kun regardless of his previous suspicions, he would be praised by many people.

Since Lin Yu didn't want to help Jiang Kun and didn't want to affect his reputation, he could only find a reason to avoid it. But the eldest princess of Shoushan has no scruples, whether it is from the perspective of seniority or monarchy, she can only bear it when she scolds Jiang Kun and his wife.

Jiang Yudao: At that time, the two of them will also be cleaned up together, so as to save them from making trouble for the Marquis of Ningyuan. ”
