104. Chaos (a bow)
Over the years, the Tongyuan Sect has turned from light to darkness, recruiting believers in secret. At this time, Huang Bao raised his arms and shouted, and tens of thousands of believers surrounded Jinling City. There are even more believers who riot from within, if it weren't for the mansions of Jiafu and other official eunuchs close together, guarded by family soldiers, I am afraid that the believers would rush to the emperor in an instant.
But even so, the Emperor Taishang couldn't help but worry about it.
"Fortunately, I moved to Jiafu, if I were in the Zhen family, wouldn't I have died a long time ago?"
Many of those believers in the mob were from the Zhen family, and although the old lady of the Zhen family and others came to ask for guilt afterwards, the emperor's trust in the Zhen family fell to the freezing point.
Don't forget, the relationship between the Five Princes and the Tongyuan Sect was too close back then.
The Emperor Taishang pondered the lie that Wei Qian had said. The lie is repeated a thousand times to become the truth, especially the pig teammates on the side of the fifth prince. The Emperor Taishang needs to think about the possible relationship between his own fifth child and the Zhen family and the Tongyuan Sect.
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for me remembering Jia Daishan and coming to Jiafu for temporary refuge, I'm afraid it would be difficult to escape." I can't help but miss the old person in my heart even more.
Summoned Jia Yu: "How is the situation in the city now?" ”
Jia Yu was sweating profusely, he was okay to be a favored minister, but if he wanted to say that he was really doing things, it was really not what he looked like. Fortunately, this time there is also the old general Li Teng in front.
"The old general led people to guard Jinling, and he has already imprisoned the believers of the Tongyuan Sect in the city. As for the outside of the city......" Jia Yu hesitated: "The rabble outside is besieging the city, although there is no major trouble, but they have also asked for help from the palace. ”
"Where are the reinforcements over there?" Emperor Taishang frowned: "The emperor is missing, even if Concubine Ning turns out of the sky, can she still create tens of thousands of troops out of thin air?" ”
Jia Yu looked embarrassed, on one side was the emperor, and on the other side was his niece. It is said that his nephew is an uncle, and he still has some feelings for this niece who often brings good luck to him.
The Emperor Taishang also reacted after complaining, and added: "But this girl is smart enough, she can quickly cut through the chaos and stabilize the situation, and she has a bit of grace, but it's a pity that she is not a man." ”
"Report-" A guard hurriedly ran outside: "The Imperial Forest Army of the Palace has come to the rescue." ”
The Guards? The Emperor Taishang secretly said that it was not good: "This is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the palace is in danger!" ”
But let the Guards go back? It's too late.
"Let the Imperial Forest Army and Li Teng attack inside and outside first, and wipe out the Tongyuan Sect rebels." The Emperor got up and went out to supervise the battle in person.
"I hope Concubine Ning is not stupid and prepares troops in the palace early."
In the palace, Wei Qian stood on the main hall and looked at the map of Jinling, and there was a sand table that had just been made next to it.
The surrounding ministers beat drums in their hearts, staring at this palace concubine who was looking at the sand table and studying tactics. Just now, Mei University scolded her for doing politics in the harem, and was invited by Liu Baohe to rest.
Liu Baohe held the palace army in his hand, and showed his attitude to support Wei Qian, who was holding the tiger talisman, and the others had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
"When the Imperial Forest Army goes to the rescue, it will inevitably introduce the forces of the Tongyuan Sect into the palace. General Liu's Huizhou army was a hundred battles, and it was impossible to be defeated in the day to deal with the rabble of the Tongyuan Sect. Wei Qian pointed to the sand table and said: "The key is at dusk, midnight and dawn. It is easiest to slack off during these three time periods. ”
"The minister will order to go down, and the two shifts will take turns to ensure that the night is guarded." Liu Baohe bowed and said, "As for the daytime......"
"Bluff." Wei Qian raised his head and put on his cloak: "The people of the Tongyuan Sect are not so arrogant as to think that they can win in the daytime. First strike a wave to shake the hearts of the army, and then wait for them to be anxious. A rabble, all they need to do is tomorrow when reinforcements come and they can all be killed. Wei Qian's expression was indifferent, and he instructed the ministers: "This palace does not understand the art of war, and some shallow women don't listen to it." Next, the palace replaced the queen mother and the emperor to decree that you would wait until tomorrow. This is our victory, and the next plan is only in the hands of His Majesty. ”
Pulling Situ Yun's banner, regardless of whether others believe it or not, Wei Qian turned around and went to the harem.
Walking out of the main hall, Wei Qian breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally survived." ”
"Look at the looks of these people, they don't seem to be convinced." Hongchun was dissatisfied: "Now that Niangniang has the power of the army, they still dare to do this!" ”
"After all, it is difficult for the harem to interfere with the previous dynasty." Wei Qian smiled indifferently: "Let's go, let's go and appease the big family behind." "Wei Qian is stirring up the wind and rain in front, but the harem must be stable and united by her side.
"It's a pity that Cousin Yuanchun and Sister Concubine Wen are not here, otherwise the two of them are enough to help me stabilize my harem." At present, Wu Guifei represents the forces of Wu Lao Xiangguo, and is facing Mai Mang with Jia Yucun and Jia Lian and others in Wei Qian's hands. I'm afraid there will be a bit of twists and turns in the harem.
Therefore, Wei Qian should go to the concubine Niangniang to say goodbye first.
Wu Guifei's expression was calm: "Sister rest assured, sister knows what my sister has to do." The interruption of the harem no one went against his sister. As long as His Majesty returns, it is easy to say. It's the Queen Mother's side, and my sister needs to go in person. ”
"My sister knows." The two only exchanged information, and Wei Qian immediately said goodbye and left.
After Wei Qian left, Baoshu, the female official next to Concubine Wu, couldn't help but say: "Niangniang, didn't the master say that we should contact the Queen Mother in the harem and temporarily suppress Concubine Ning?" Otherwise, she is alone, what will we do in the future? ”
"Where do you think Concubine Ning got the tiger talisman?" Wu Guifei asked rhetorically: "His Majesty has always hidden these things secretly, how can outsiders know?" Concubine Ning may be mostly false, but she has definitely made contact with Her Majesty at present. To do it to her is to do it to His Majesty. If the overall situation is destroyed, how will His Majesty be spared in the future? ”
"Moreover, the harem cannot interfere in politics. She is so sharp, obviously she is ready to be liquidated in the future. Since she is willing to take risks for the imperial inheritance, why should this palace be stupid and block her? To appease the harem, this is a matter within the scope of the palace. His Majesty came back, and there was a credit to the palace. If there is something that cannot be said of it, this palace is not guilty. ”
Wu Guifei understands that her status is no longer promoted. One step further is the queen, and the queen is willing to give it to her?
"I don't like the crown prince to ascend the throne even more, only the return of His Majesty is the best situation." Wu Guifei thought secretly, quietly fiddling with the Zhu Hai in her hand.
Wei Qian hurried from Concubine Wu Guifei to the Empress Dowager's palace.
The female eunuch next to the Queen Mother was chewing the root of the Queen Mother's tongue: "Niangniang, I heard that Concubine Ning deliberately transferred the Imperial Forest Army, but left General Liu behind. That General Liu is the person promoted by the late Rong Guogong, could it be ......"
"What do you want to say?" The Queen Mother was not in good spirits, and frowned: "But what wind did you hear?" ”
"The maid heard that this lady is in collaboration with General Liu to control the government-"
"What's the use of the palace controlling the government?" Wei Qian stood behind the female prisoner with a smile.
The female prisoner was so frightened that she quickly knelt down.
"You go out first." Wei Qian couldn't look down on this female eunuch who blocked herself every day, so she came to the Queen Mother's side and said with concern: "Is Niangniang okay?" How are you feeling better today? ”
"Much better. What's going on out there? The Queen Mother said: "Why did Li Ying say that you interfered with the previous dynasty?" ”
"Isn't it for His Majesty?" Wei Qian pretended to sigh: "The concubine body and His Majesty have been contacted. ”
"How's the situation with the emperor?"
The Queen Mother cheered up.
"The emperor is well, and the concubine's mother personally led someone to find him and place him in the Doumu Temple."
Dou Mu Temple? When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart settled down: "That is the place where you cultivated when you were young, and Master Lingyun seems to be a master of Taoism." If His Majesty escapes unharmed in the future, he should be enshrined as the national temple. ”
"Forget about the national temple, just give the Doumu Temple a seal." Wei Qian said: "But His Majesty returns at this time, and in the future, he will rarely be impeached for playing and making mistakes." The influence on the Emperor's side is not good. So the two of us decided to just confirm our lies. Let's just say that His Majesty is deliberately setting up a situation, which is a completely wise move. In the future, he will also be impeached and reckless, but as long as he grasps the overall situation, it will be a merit of His Majesty. ”
The Queen Mother nodded, yes, with this kind of martial arts, even if the emperor is not good at talking about the abolition of the establishment.
"Then what are you fighting for?"
"A wise and martial emperor is not good news for those ministers." Wei Qian possessed herself and whispered in the ear of the Queen Mother: "If you let Your Majesty bear the stigma, wouldn't it be better to handle it in the future?" ”
The queen mother's eyes narrowed, and the instinct of the harem fighting for decades immediately woke up: "They want to set up the emperor? ”
"Wu Lao Xiangguo has this meaning. After all, since ancient times, the imperial power and the prime minister's power have been blown back and forth. ”
"What about Concubine Wu?"
"The sister of the Wu family has a good temperament, and she just promised her concubine that there will be no disputes in the harem. At this moment, we are in trouble together to welcome the return of the emperor. ”
"Okay, both of you are very good." The Queen Mother patted Wei Qian's hand: "If you weren't here, with the body of this palace, I'm afraid that after hearing the news, I will be in chaos and controlled by those courtiers." The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, I really follow the thoughts of these people." Let the emperor bear a notoriety that will be difficult to erase for thousands of years. ”
"Concubine Ning, this palace promises you. If you can help your majesty stabilize the overall situation today, he will never do anything to you when he returns. The Queen Mother said: "The palace knows that a woman's interference in the government will inevitably cause opposition from the previous dynasty. But if you hadn't stepped forward, our mother and son would not have seen each other again. ”
"This kindness, this palace remembers. As long as the palace is here, even the emperor can't take you lightly. The Queen Mother grabbed Wei Qian's hand and made a serious promise: "A woman, if it is not for her beloved or her own children, how can she do this regardless of the risk?" ”
"......" Wei Qian's face stiffened, and when she saw that the Queen Mother had misunderstood, she wanted to speak again.
The conscience of heaven and earth, the reason why she helped Situ Yun was mainly because she didn't want the emperor to change, and the Tongyuan Sect won.
From a public point of view, as the old mother of Lishan, she needs to protect the dragon veins from being polluted by outsiders.
From a selfish point of view, Tong Yuanjiao and the Fifth Prince's father killed her, and she would not let them ascend to the throne no matter what.
Unexpectedly, this desperate act of resistance was misunderstood by the Queen Mother as Wei Qian's liking Situ Yun.
Wei Qian vomited blood in her heart, but she made a delicate appearance on her face.
"Imonomiya is not afraid of gossip from others. Compared with the unsuccessful queen, this palace prefers you, Concubine Wu and Concubine Xian, so you are a few knowledgeable and can help a bunch of Yun'er. ”
The Queen Mother had seven points of true affection and three points, and stayed with Wei Qian for an afternoon. Until the evening, Wang Zheng came to report: "Empress Dowager Qi, Concubine Ning." The Tongyuan Sect began to attack the city again. ”
