Chapter Seventy-Seven: Shadow Guard
After King Shun regained the power of the six palaces after the queen regained the power of the six palaces, he went to the eldest princess's mansion.
King Shun respectfully saluted the eldest princess: "Princess Shun gave birth to the eldest grandson for the emperor and the eldest son for the king." When His Majesty heard the news, he exempted the queen mother from being grounded and restored the power of the six palaces. This is all the credit of Princess Shun, and in the future, this king will treat Princess Shun's mother and son well. ”
The eldest princess's depressed mood finally improved a little.
She straightened her waist and said with a calm face: "Your father is not merciful to this palace at all, and he punishes this palace in public." The emperor had never been in the palace like this. I can't swallow this breath. ”
King Shun said sadly: "Since my father favored Concubine Xiaozhang, he has changed. ”
Wei Shounian shook his head: "It's also difficult to obey the king, there is a prince brother who holds military power and has great military achievements." There are five princes born to the favorite concubine, and the favorite concubine now has a sixth prince in her belly. If this continues, it will be difficult to obey the king, and it will be even more difficult for those who follow the king. ”
King Shun gets straight to the point: "We can't sit still. While the prince is out with his troops, let's take the ...... first."
The eldest princess looked at King Shun: "How to do it?"
King Shun said his plan: "Find a way to get my father to write an abdication decree and pass it on to this king." After the king ascended the throne, the crown prince was not rightly named. If he raises an army, he will be punished as a thief. If he shows weakness, find an opportunity to kill him again in the future. ”
The eldest princess confided in King Shun another piece of news she had received: "It is reported that the prince has long been against him. ”
"Then we should play first and then come stronger. ”
"It's better for this palace to find someone to him in the barracks. ”
King Shun was surprised: "Who has the ability to kill the prince in the military camp?"
The eldest princess sneered: "Kill the prince, hand it over to the palace to do." King Shun only needs to deal with the emperor. ”
King Shun promised the eldest princess: "After the matter is completed, Princess Shun will be the queen, her son will be the crown prince, and the children and grandchildren of the eldest princess will be knighted." ”
After receiving such a promise from King Shun, the eldest princess smiled and nodded.
After King Shun left, Wei Shounian asked his mother: "We use the lives of the nine clans to fulfill King Shun?"
The eldest princess glanced at her son: "You, you can't see far enough." ”
"Please teach Mother. ”
"In the future, when your grandson is a little older, you can let him inherit the throne, and we will control the government. ”
"This ...... It's difficult. ”
The eldest princess snorted coldly: "Who else is King Shun besides us? Huang Family? After King Shun ascends the throne, the first one will clean up the Huang family." ”
Wei Shounian didn't know how ambitious his mother was until today. He was a little scared. In the past, no matter what was done, it didn't involve life. If it is a crime of treason, it will be punished by all nine clans.
He tried to persuade his mother to give up this idea: "Mother, our house has been favored by the emperor and has enjoyed wealth for many years. There should be no ......"
The eldest princess said sharply: "Shut up, you don't have any royal ambition in you." You're not as good as your son in this regard. ”
Wei Shounian hung his head and stopped making a sound, he thought to himself, I am the species of the Wei family, what does the royal ambition have to do with me. I just want to have an official position, and there are a few beautiful concubines in the room.
The eldest princess looked at him hatefully for a while, thinking that she only had this one son. also slowly dissipated his anger, and found another thing for him to know.
"You know, I have a shadow guard on my hands. ”
When Wei Shounian heard his mother's words, he was stunned: "The shadow guard is exclusive to His Majesty, how can my mother have another shadow guard?"
The eldest princess said bluntly: "When I was born, the world was full of colorful clouds, and my father thought it was a good omen, and he always loved me. But at that time, my father was already old, and he was worried that after he left, Concubine De's mother and son would not treat me well. He gave me a token to mobilize one of the twelve members of the Shadow Guard. My father said, "If I am in danger, let the twelve take me away." ”
Wei Shounian asked: "Has my mother used the shadow guard all these years?"
"Over the years, I have only used it once, that is, I sent those eight people to kill the prince, and it failed. According to the shadow who came back to report that someone had sent a message to the prince in advance, and he had escaped. "The eldest princess has never known who gave the news to the prince.
"When is my mother taking me to meet the Shadow Guard. "He's curious about the legendary Shadow Guard.
The eldest princess replied angrily: "I was just about to go to the shadow guard to settle accounts." Before the army departed, the person I asked you to take to the British Duke was one of the shadow guards. As a result, he brought me the news ......"
The eldest princess also knows that the news of the shadow guard will not be false, and the matter of the prince transporting the spoils of war should also be true. But why was it replaced with stone? Could it be that the Shadow Guard was discovered?
The eldest princess decided to take Wei Shou to the shadow guard contact point on Chinese New Year's Eve. She instructed her son: "Go and call Wu Renhe, and let him participate in this matter." ”
Wei Shounian turned around and asked his entourage to go to the Wu Mansion and called Wu Renhe to the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
After the entourage arrived at Wu's house, they knocked on the door of Wu's house. When the Wu family saw someone from the Wei family, they nervously pulled someone over: "Little brother, the master is messing with his wife, so it's not good to invite him for the time being." ”
The Wei family asked, "What's the matter?" and reached out and handed over a bit of broken silver.
The Wu family looked left and right to see that there was no one, stretched out their hands to take the broken silver, and quietly said to the Wei family: "The master wants to take a concubine, but the lady does not allow it, and it has been troublesome for several days." ”
The Wei family asked in surprise: "It has only been a long time since they got married, and they have to take a concubine before they have a concubine?"
The Wu family whispered: "A concubine in the Enguo Mansion has long had an affair with the master. I heard that I was pregnant, so I wanted to bring it back to my home. ”
After hearing this, the Wei family hurriedly said: "Little brother, you look at it, if the matter is too big, quickly inform the eldest princess's mansion." There are benefits for you. ”
The Wu family nodded and closed the door of the Wu family. The Wei family hurriedly returned to the house to tell each other.
Wei Shounian heard the next person go back to the house and tell him that the young lady and his aunt were fighting, and he didn't see anyone. Master Wei asked, "Why did you quarrel?"
The subordinate told Master Wei one by one what he heard: "I heard that my uncle had an affair with a concubine in the Enguo Mansion, and the woman was already pregnant, and my uncle wanted to take her home, but Miss didn't allow ......."
Master Wei was furious when he heard this, although he himself had a wife and a concubine, but it was also a concubine who was accepted after giving birth to a son-in-law. Wu Renhe married his daughter and did not have a concubine, so he made a concubine, which was completely slapping the face of the eldest princess's mansion.
He angrily walked to the eldest princess's upper room, and when he saw his mother, he said, "The son is going to kill Wu Ren and that dog mongrel." ”
He had never seen such an eldest princess before. Wei Shounian has been relatively easy-going since he was a child, and he is timid to say that he is not good. He rarely kills his subordinates, and he doesn't necessarily dare to kill cats and dogs.
The eldest princess hurriedly asked her son, "What's wrong with your son-in-law?"
Wei Shounian told his mother what he had heard from others.
The eldest princess was also angry after hearing this, she was slapped in the face by the Zhenguo Mansion and slapped in the face by His Majesty. Now even the people she promoted are slapping her in the face. She couldn't wait to break Wu Ren and the corpse into thousands of pieces, so that she could get out of the sulk in her heart.
The eldest princess said coldly: "The Huang family of the Enjia Mansion is really a good tutor, and the daughters born like to be concubines, since she likes men so hungrily, let them go to the workshop in the future." Didn't the Wu family have two daughters who were unmarried? Let's start with them. ”
Wei Shounian asked, "What is the best way for my mother?"
The eldest princess dealt with this kind of thing with simple and rude methods: "I asked Yingwei to kidnap the two daughters of the Wu family, throw them into the workshop, and exchange them for the two women inside." You can find a place to arrange the woman you got in exchange. ”
Wei Shounian's mood is better again, and he is going to have two beautiful concubines again.
