Chapter 404: Seal Regent
Shen Liancheng didn't say much, just smiled, shrunk into his arms contentedly, and closed his eyes relaxedly.
There is no need for you to talk about the same thing.
Soon, she fell asleep in Chen Xiang's arms.
A few days later, the imperial decree was announced, and Prince Feng Rong was the regent, and together with the Dazai of the Tianguan Mansion and the Heavenly Child, he assisted the Empress Dowager and presided over the affairs of the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
Suddenly, Yu Wenyan's power has been greatly improved. In addition to having no military power in his hands, he is on a par with Chen Xiang.
In the time that followed, some officials in the court who had some kind of connection with Mrs. Xiang, as long as they had done illegal things, all happened one after another.
Mrs. Xiang is not stupid. Coming out of the joy of her son's ascension, she began to suspect that someone was dealing with her.
On this day, she has been waiting for Yu Wenyan to return to the palace.
As soon as Yu Wenyan came back, she told him, "It's been a little strange this month. The senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee who have some old acquaintances with me have all been dug up and have either been executed or degraded and exiled......"
"It was a child." Yu Wenyan interrupted her temptation and told her bluntly, "It's all done by children." ”
When Mrs. Xiang heard this, she was really surprised and couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.
Yu Wenyan was capable of achieving these things, but she never thought that one day he would do it!
She suddenly laughed wildly, and then asked, almost with a hint of novelty, "You did it?" ”
"That's right, I did." Yu Wenyan couldn't help frowning slightly when she saw her reaction like this. He didn't admit it so readily to see her reaction!
Shouldn't she be shocked, shouldn't she be furious, and blame him in anger?
"It's really grown into my son." Mrs. Xiang was not only not angry, but looked very appreciative, "You can finally do something that my mother and I admire." ”
"The child said that if one day the child ascends to a high position, the first person to be eliminated is your mother!" Yu Wenyan squinted slightly, his face full of anger.
Mrs. Xiang was still smiling, her face unfazed, "Isn't that too fast?" You're just a regent now, and how are you going to get to the top without your mother's support? Who goes into battle to kill the enemy and kill his own soldiers first? ”
Yu Wenyan "hummed" and laughed, "Even without a mother, the child can do it himself." ”
Mrs. Xiang only felt amused when she heard this, and said disapprovingly: "From childhood to adulthood, everything you want, everything you want to do, which one of them, isn't your grandmother contributing to you?" How can such a big thing as ascending to a high position be achieved by you alone? ”
"Don't bother with my mother!" Yu Wenyan dropped his words and said that he wanted to go to the inner courtyard, and no longer paid attention to Mrs. Xiang.
"Being a regent is also a happy event." Mrs. Xiang said abruptly, "The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, I will prepare a banquet for you in the palace, and invite the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty." ”
Yu Wenyan paused, never knowing what the purpose of her sudden desire to hold a banquet for his promotion to regent had passed for more than a month.
And just when he was confused, Xiang Xiang specially reminded his wife: "Chen Guogong and his wife, you must be invited." ”
Yu Wenyan couldn't help but wonder, is she going to pass the banquet and be detrimental to Chen Xiang and Shen Liancheng?
"What do you mean, Mother?" Head asked.
"Do you think that what has happened in the past month, Grandma really believes that you are the only one?" Xiang sneered at Madame, and suddenly sarcastically said, "You don't have this ability." ”
She always looks down on herself! Yu Wenyan felt embarrassed, but forcibly suppressed this emotion in his heart, and just asked: "A banquet, what do you think can withstand them?" ”
"I just want to meet this couple who are in love with flounder for a while." Mrs. Xiang stood up, dropped her words and walked out of the house haughtily.
Yu Wenyan was afraid that it was not so simple, so for this reason, the invitation from Chen Guogong's Mansion was delivered by him personally.
Seeing Chen Xiang and Shen Liancheng, he kindly reminded the two to take more precautions.
"It's just right that the prince is here." After Shen Liancheng thanked him for his kindness, he changed the subject and said, "I have always had an unknown matter with my husband, and I hope that the prince will teach me." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Xiang and motioned for him to speak.
Chen Xiang stepped forward and said bluntly: "We have never figured out why the prince's mother has such a huge network behind her, whether it is the court or the local government, there are people who have a relationship with her. Can the prince know? ”
It turned out to be this thing! They're asking the right questions.
"Do you know why the king's mother is only a lady in the end?" Yu Wenyan asked and answered, "It's not that this king's father is not kind enough to his mother, but because she has too many merits, and her father is afraid of her." ”
"Merit?" Shen Liancheng was unconsciously surprised, she never knew what other merits she had for Mrs. Xiang as a harem woman!
"The Xiang clan has produced a famous general who moves the world. The world only knows that he is the brother of the king's mother, but they do not know that he is actually the king's mother herself. ”
It turned out that there had never been any General Xiang, only Mrs. Xiang! It turned out that this Mrs. Xiang had dressed as a man and went with the emperor many times on the battlefield and made countless great achievements.
"Later, there were fewer battles, and the so-called General Xiang died of illness, and since then, my father has hidden his mother in the harem, and no one is allowed to mention it in an edict."
It's no wonder that there are so many people attached to Mrs. Xiang! She was also a generation of heroines.
Shen Liancheng is also a woman, and suddenly admired her a little, and also felt some pity for her.
hid her merit and fame, and in the end, she was just a little lady in the harem. lived and died with the Son of Heaven at that time, but in exchange for being hidden in the snow, and the ensuing family road fell in the middle.
The grievances in her heart can't be filled with a few baskets, right?
Shen Liancheng even began to look forward to the banquet the day after tomorrow.
Although she and Mrs. Xiang have met, they have not had in-depth contact. She didn't pay as much attention to her as she does now. Taking advantage of the banquet the day after tomorrow, she also wanted to meet her for a while.
Two days later, she woke up in the morning and was dressed up and ready to go out. On the contrary, when she went out, she suddenly felt dizzy, and finally her eyes were black and she couldn't see, but she was suddenly better again.
"Go get a doctor!" Shen Liancheng was in good health, but this time he suddenly felt unwell, and Chen Xiang didn't dare to be careless.
"It's okay, maybe I've reviewed too many recitals these days, and I'm tired......"
"Will there be joy?" Qingling couldn't help but step forward, "Didn't the son-in-law's menstrual affair be postponed for many days and didn't come?" ”
She thought, maybe it was the medicinal food that Mrs. Tai gave Shen Liancheng a month ago, which worked.
She could have inquired that the medicinal diet prepared by Mrs. Tai that day was extremely precious and cured the infertility of many noble ladies!
