Chapter 700: The Struggle for Power
Jiang Xian's mood was very heavy, but she didn't want others to notice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She dressed up slowly, brought her daily utensils, seven or eight carriages, and hundreds of guards, and went to the capital in a mighty way.
He only said that he was worried about the Empress Dowager and was in a hurry to come from Xi'an.
The defenders of the city had been replaced by Li Changqing's people, and in the evening, she entered the city without hindrance.
The Forbidden City was still surrounded like a bucket, but Jiang Lu was anxiously waiting for her at the back of the Ministry of Industry Yamen temporarily requisitioned by Li Changqing.
When he saw Jiang Xian's carriage, he immediately came forward, looked at Jiang Xian anxiously, and saw that the powder on her face was fine as if she had not been dressed, revealing delicacy and calmness everywhere, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, lowered his voice and asked straight to the point: "How is it?"
"Brought!" Jiang Xian pointed to the carriage behind him and said softly, "I fed him some soothing soup, and now he is sleeping in a bamboo basket filled with things!"
Jiang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were dark blue that could not be concealed, and the look of exhaustion jumped on his face.
"Baoning, it's good to have you!" he hurriedly sent the child into the palace, and said briefly, "The emperor was not very good when the Tartars hit the city, and when the city was broken, the emperor would ...... In addition, he didn't expect the city to be destroyed so quickly, the Tai Hospital was outside the palace, and the imperial doctors who stayed in the palace on duty did not dare to use medicine...... The emperor died twelve days ago. If you didn't know that you had an edict in your hand, Dad wouldn't dare to defend the Forbidden Palace. Now that the King of Liao is already in the city, we have to quickly establish the crown prince and mourn the emperor. ”
Although he was already prepared in his heart, when the guess was confirmed, Jiang Xian couldn't help but feel sad.
Zhao Yi is still gone this year!
After she withdrew from his life, he still couldn't change his fate.
Or at times like these.
Just like the countless irresponsible things he has done, he left this stormy court and left alone.
"Wasn't he good before?" Jiang Xian said to himself, "He also said that he was messing around with those palace maids and female officials who were twice his age in the palace, how could he just leave?!"
Jiang Lu was also a little unbearable.
No matter what kind of person Zhao Yi is, they can be regarded as growing up together.
People die like lights going out, and when Zhao Yi has not caused any substantial harm to the Jiang family, Jiang Lu can't talk about liking him, but he can't talk about hating him. When such a person dies, no matter who he is, he will be more or less sad.
"We didn't expect that either. "Jiang Lu has been following Jiang Zhenyuan in the palace on an errand these days, Jiang Zhenyuan is going to transfer troops, and Zhao Yi's affairs, he will hand over all the affairs to Jiang Lu, Jiang Lu knows a lot about his death," the imperial doctor said, the emperor himself is not very good, and in the past two years, he has indulged in women, and his body has become more and more weak. The Tartar soldiers came to the city, clamoring to capture the emperor alive, and the queen left the emperor and ran to Cining Palace to avoid disaster, and the emperor fell ill all of a sudden. But he kept pretending to be fine, and wrote two edicts to you. Dad knew the content of the edict and thought it would be better to keep a hand, not only did he not stop the little eunuch from sending you a letter, but he also found a way to help him. never thought that as soon as the letter was sent to the emperor, it was like venting his heart, and he fell down all of a sudden. At that time, everyone sacrificed their lives to defend the city, and they couldn't manage Wanshou Mountain, and they didn't know where the Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Xi were, so they had to keep it secret and wait for you to come over - at least you have two edicts in your hands. When Dad and King Liao theorized, there was also a basis. ”
Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.
Jiang Lu shouted unhappily, "What's going on!?"
Immediately, an entourage ran over and said hurriedly: "Lord Shizi, it's Prince Jian, Prince Jian has come over in person." ”
Jiang Xian couldn't help but exchange a look with Jiang Lu.
Jiang Lu hurriedly said: "Dad has reached an agreement with King Jian, no matter what, keep King Jian's mansion, keep the queen, and keep the two county lords of Dongyang and Wuyang." ”
This is not something that can be done easily.
Jiang Xian frowned and said, "Why did you make such a heavy promise?"
Jiang Lu smiled bitterly and said, "The Jingwei is powerless to defend the city, and my father is mainly responsible, what else can I do?"
Jingwei!
used to be the glory of the Jiang family, but now it has become a drag on the Jiang family.
Jiang Xian's brows furrowed even tighter.
King Jian, who was wearing a five-clawed over-the-shoulder python dragon silk python robe, walked in with a frown.
"Lord Jianan?!" he hesitated for a moment and called out to Jiang Xian tentatively.
Jiang Xian didn't wear court clothes, and he still saw Jiang Xian when she was very young. Jiang Xian was very familiar with him.
Compared to this time in his previous life, King Jian was at least ten years older.
Sure enough, this man can't afford to grind.
Jiang Xian thought of the previous life when she was there to fight wits and courage with the ministers, King Jian lowered his eyebrows and watched from the wall, but he jumped out at a critical time to express his approval or opposition, which ultimately affected the outcome of the court discussion. Now that she was dragged into the water, she felt faintly satisfied in her heart.
She saluted King Jane respectfully.
King Jian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
No one felt the lord of Jianan more deeply than him.
Zhao Yi finally gave Jiang Xian the edict of succession.
In this case, why didn't you just marry Jiang Xian as the queen in the first place, and what is the matter with pulling their family into the water?
King Jian slandered in his heart, but his face was not obvious at all, and he said solemnly: "County Lord, you should already know that the emperor has died, right? Now that the Empress Dowager Cao and the emperor's eldest son are nowhere to be found, it is said that the edict of succession is in your hands." Can you show it to me? The two of us should work together now, and we should know the contents of the edict earlier, so that we can make plans as soon as possible. ”
Jiang Xian was very unhappy!
Han Tongxin still occupies the position of queen, unless the King of Liao succeeds to the throne, she has a great say in who will be the emperor.
The Jiang family was originally at a loss in this matter, and King Jian personally went into battle to force her to take out the edict, wouldn't there be nothing to do with the Jiang family?
Jiang Xian said lightly: "The edict is addressed to the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and since I have arrived safely, this edict will naturally be announced in front of all the cabinet scholars and the courtiers of the three ministries and six courts." If it falls into the eyes of someone who cares, I still think that this edict is forged, and then it will add to the turmoil. According to me, you shouldn't have come, Lord Jane. Since the two of us are going to work together, what else do you have to worry about?"
King Jian was complained a few words lightly, but Jiang Xian's words were reasonable, which made him depressed and speechless for a while.
Jiang Xiancai didn't want to have something to do with him here, so he motioned to the seventh aunt to step forward and help her get into the carriage, and said to Jiang Lu: "Why don't you hurry up and enter the palace!" At this time, it's just Prince Jian who came to ask, and if Prince Liao comes to ask later, what should we do? However, the personnel of the Zhenguo Mansion should also be rectified, why didn't there be half a cup of tea, and what the eldest brother said to me spread all over the capital? This is not a good thing!"
King Jane's face turned blue.
Jiang Lu still didn't have Jiang Xian to pull it down, and said busily: "Lord Jane, what the county lord said also makes sense." From ancient times to the present, there has never been a cabinet minister or a hundred civil and military officials who have opened the edict without permission. It's not far from the Forbidden City, so let's take a few quick steps to the palace, summon all the ministers of the court and the central government into the palace, and read the holy decree in front of everyone. ”
