Chapter 796: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
Jiang Yuanchao fell down and soon fell down the cliff.
"My lord—" A heart-rending cry came, and Jiang He stumbled over, looking at the blood on the edge of the cliff and the shadow that gradually turned into a black spot, and howled.
"My lord, how could you die, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" After crying for a while, Jiang He got up and looked at Shao Mingyuan and Qiao Zhao vigilantly.
"Don't come, I warn you, don't come!"
At this time, Qiao Zhao and Shao Mingyuan were only silent.
Jiang He wiped his tears, took a step towards the edge of the cliff, seemed to think of something, stopped his steps, and said to Qiao Zhao: "Miss Lisan, although we adults don't need it anymore, I still want to explain to him, when you were kidnapped by King Su's people, we adults didn't know about it, and we will go to save you after he gets the news." ”
The more Jiang He spoke, the more he was wronged for his own adults, and raised his hand to wipe his tears: "Seeing that you are injured, we adults have always felt sorry for you, but those people are attacking you, we adults really don't know, you must believe me!"
"I believe it. Qiao Zhao said softly.
Jiang He showed a big smile: "It's good if you believe it." I...... I'm going to find our adults, we are wise and powerful, and we will definitely not die like this, maybe now the adults need me to bandage their wounds-"
Jiang He's words dissipated in the wind, and he jumped off the cliff.
The wind on the edge of the cliff was stronger, whirring on people, but the midsummer sky made people shiver.
Qiao Zhao stood silently, I don't know how long it took, he felt a little itchy on his face, raised his hand to touch it, only to find that tears slid down his cheeks, and it was cold.
"Zhaozhao, let's go. Shao Mingyuan hugged Qiao Zhao's shoulder.
The Tao is not the same, he and Jiang Yuanchao can't go together after all, and dying for a lifetime is probably a doomed ending.
"Hmm. Qiao Zhao nodded.
On the way back, many images unconsciously flashed in her mind, and the scene that finally remained in her mind was when she and Jiang Yuanchao first met.
At that time, he was still a teenager, and the sun was just right, and it was today.
King Rui and the others couldn't help but rejoice when they got the news that all the chaotic parties had been wiped out.
Seeing Shao Mingyuan walking over with Qiao Zhao, King Rui rushed up with an arrow, grabbed Shao Mingyuan's hands and said, "Master Hou, today's matter is thanks to you, Lord Hou's merits will definitely be remembered by this king!"
Shao Mingyuan withdrew his hand vigorously, and replied respectfully but without losing his dignity: "The prince has won the award, and it is the duty of every courtier to be loyal to the country. ”
"As Hou Ye said, it is our duty to be loyal to the country!" Under the leadership of Xu Shoufu, all the ministers said in unison.
For the rest of their lives, they have nothing but joy left in their hearts at the moment.
Throughout the history books, every time they rise up to usurp the throne, it has always been a road paved with blood, not to mention failure, if they succeed, they will be ruthlessly slaughtered in order to keep the old ministers, and even their relatives can't escape, and the family that has been inherited for a hundred years will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
It's really good to be able to exterminate the rebels, and they can be regarded as accompanying King Rui to live and die together, and it will be okay to be added to the rank and knighthood in the future.
When the ministers thought of this, they were beaming with joy one by one, and then looked at Shao Mingyuan's eyes more and more differently.
This time the escape from death can be said to be thanks to the champion Hou, seeing that King Rui is like this, he will definitely rely on the champion Hou in the future.
Once they thought that the champion Hou Gong was the master, and the first emperor would clean him up sooner or later, but now that the first emperor has become the first emperor, everything is naturally different.
"It's hard work. ”
"Master Hou has worked hard. ”
Countless people greeted Shao Mingyuan.
At this time, a bang was suddenly heard, and everyone looked at it, only to realize that Shangshu Suhe of the Ministry of Rites had fainted.
"Quick, hurry up and pass the imperial doctor to Su Shangshu. ”
Before the words fell, several old ministers fainted one after another.
After staying up for so long and experiencing a thrilling experience, there are many elderly courtiers who can't stand it anymore.
"Pass the Imperial Doctor, pass the Imperial Doctor quickly—" The screams kept rang out.
King Rui suppressed his joy and waved his hand: "Let's go back to our residence first, rest for a day, and wait for tomorrow to discuss the matter." ”
Now that his father and sixth brother are dead, and the remnants of King Su have also been exterminated, the world of Daliang is already his.
It was such a wonderful feeling that he didn't feel tired in the slightest.
"Congratulations to the prince—" The ministers said respectfully.
King Rui barely suppressed his smile, nodded reservedly, and walked forward surrounded by a group of chamberlains.
Halfway through, King Rui stopped and looked embarrassed: "I just remembered that the king's residence has been burned clean by fire." ”
The ministers said in unison: "Please move to Qinghua Palace." ”
Qinghua Palace is the palace where Emperor Ming Kangdi came to Qingliang Mountain to live in the summer.
King Rui immediately refused: "This is not good, that would be out of courtesy." ”
The throne is about to be in hand, and there is no need to gossip at this time, in case it is recorded in history in the future, then he will lose a lot.
What's more, his father died in Qinghua Palace, which was too unlucky, so he didn't go to live.
Under the persuasion of the ministers, King Rui still firmly refused.
The ministers were quite satisfied with the performance of the wise king, but they had a headache about the residence of the wise king.
It's not a matter of a day or two to deal with such a mess, and you have to straighten it out before you can leave for Beijing, so you can't let Rui Wang sleep on the streets during this time, right?
In addition to the Qinghua Palace and the burned down residence of King Rui, another equivalent specification is the residence of King Mu. However, thinking of King Mu's move to force the palace, there was no unsightly courtier who mentioned it.
King Rui smiled: "What's so embarrassing about this, this king will squeeze with the Hou Ye, anyway, he won't be able to live long before he will return to Beijing." ”
Shao Mingyuan thought he had misheard, and raised his eyebrows.
King Rui sneered and said, "Master Hou, this king sees that your place is quite spacious, so let's squeeze in your place for the time being." ”
The words of refusal swirled on the tip of Shao Mingyuan's tongue and were swallowed silently by him.
That's it, they all support King Rui's ascension, so why offend him.
"It is an honor for the prince to be able to look at Weichen's residence, so Weichen ordered someone to vacate the yard and let the prince move in as soon as possible. ”
"Vacate it?" King Rui was stunned.
Shao Mingyuan smiled: "Yes, Weichen took Neizi to live in Shixi temporarily." ”
"You don't have to. "King Rui is a little unhappy.
Somehow, after experiencing this life-and-death catastrophe, he felt the most at ease by the side of the champion Hou.
"Lord Wang, don't feel embarrassed, you can sleep wherever you like, isn't it right to make room for you, I'll take Hou Ye and them over to clean up first." Ji Chan smiled and took over.
"Hey-" King Rui watched Chi Can pull Shao Mingyuan away, and sighed regretfully.
"Lord Wang—" A timid voice came.
Only then did King Rui find that Li Jiao was standing not far away, and he was a little embarrassed at the moment.
Oops, I accidentally forgot about the side concubine when I ran away.
