Chapter 384: Enthronement (Medium)
"Hehe, just a woman like you, who doesn't cultivate morality, has a twisted mind, is stimulated, and whose words and deeds are no different from that scoundrel, and who also wants to become the queen mother? If you and your son really ascend to the throne, it will be the greatest disaster in the whole world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jiang Ge Lao scolded and accused her as if he had not heard it, he put his hands behind his back, looked at Empress Jiang with pity and shook his head and sighed.
"Haha, hahaha, good, good, you are worthy of being a legendary pavilion elder who has been in charge of my Great Song Dynasty for decades, uncle, you are really powerful, even if you have obviously become my prisoner at this time, you can still almost make me so angry that I lost my mind with just a few words, but uncle, no matter how powerful you are, you are already old, and the era that belongs to you has passed."
"I know that uncle, you have always looked down on the Jiang family, your niece and me, and your grandson You'er, but it doesn't matter, without you, we can also get back what belongs to us." Empress Jiang was so angry that the green tendons on her forehead beat violently, and her breathing became extremely short, but after a few years of sitting down in the cold palace, her already very tolerable state of mind became stronger and stronger, and her emotions that were about to be completely out of control slowly calmed down.
"Tell me, how are you going to take it? Are you going to slaughter us old guys, or what? Seeing that she had recovered from the loss of control so quickly, Jiang Ge Lao glanced at her with a slight surprise, and then asked again.
"Uncle is serious, you and all the ministers present are the pillars of the country, the foundation of the court, how can my niece kill you, I just need everyone to sit here for a few days, wait for the original prince to return smoothly, and then all the ministers present will ask the emperor to make a will, and it is enough for the new emperor to ascend the throne." Empress Jiang smiled slightly and spoke calmly.
"Oh, I see, since I won't take the life of the old minister for the time being, then the old minister will go there and sit down first, he is too old to stand." Elder Jiang Ge sighed softly when he heard this, not only did he not have an angry expression on his face, but turned around and pointed to the stairs where Zhao Zhen was standing, and said a word, and after finishing speaking, regardless of whether Empress Jiang agreed or not, he walked straight towards the steps.
Daqing Hall is the place of the court, except for the north side of the top of a statue of Jinluan, there is no other chair in the hall, fortunately there are carpets inside, there are dozens of steps in the middle of the Jinluan seat, people sit directly on the ground, the body is easy to lean back, not very comfortable, it is just right to sit on the steps of this carpet.
After Jiang Ge Lao sat down, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zhen twice, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you can also sit down, since Jiang Guiren wants to wait for the return of the abolished prince to dispose of us, it is estimated that it will take a few days, anyway, we can't get out, so just sit here and wait slowly." ”
"The elder of the pavilion is polite, everyone sit, there is no chair, just sit on the ground and be wronged." Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully, and at the end, he didn't forget to say a word to all the ministers in the palace, and after finishing speaking, he also sat down on the steps, and before he officially ascended the throne, he couldn't run to the golden luan seat to sit.
Kou Zhun, Yang Yanzhao and other old ministers heard this, and really ran to Zhao Zhen and Jiang Ge Lao to sit next to them, these people are old, it is not very comfortable to sit directly on the ground, and there are many positions on the ladder, how can dozens of people sit, if you want to sit, you must naturally choose a comfortable position, King Wei and King Zhou rolled their eyes, and also came over to sit with everyone, King Zhao Zhi saw that his two uncles had walked over, he hesitated slightly, and also sat next to them.
As for the other officials, some sat down on the ground, and some looked apprehensive and panicked, obviously not knowing how to choose, Empress Jiang watched coldly, and did not interfere, she only stayed in the palace for about a quarter of an hour, and then walked out of the Daqing Palace, out of the Daqing Palace, just turned into the left and the corridor, and was stopped by her brother Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu pulled her aside and pouted in the direction of Daqing Palace: "Sister, those old guys don't seem to realize that he has become a prisoner at all, and they are arrogant and ruthless, should we let them suffer a little?" ”
"How are you going to make them suffer? Are you going to torture them, or are you going to slaughter a few? Empress Jiang frowned and glanced at her brother, and asked lightly, her brother is the eldest son of his father, his ambition is not small, but his ability is very ordinary, and Empress Jiang's impression of him is really average.
"In my opinion, we will be severely tortured and beaten first, and if anyone refuses to submit to us, they will be slaughtered." Jiang Wu opened his mouth with a ruthless face.
"What about after slaughter? Others don't talk about it for the time being, just talk about our third uncle, his son-in-law is now the chief official of Yanyun Land, with 150,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the old general Yang Yanzhao, although he has stopped leading the troops for several years, he can use his influence, if he dies in the palace for no reason, what do you think the Yang family should do? Empress Jiang looked at her eldest brother like an idiot.
"You can't fight, you can't kill, you can't kill, so what should I do? Do you just look at them arrogantly? Jiang Wu's face was full of resentment, three years ago, the crown prince was deposed, the queen was beaten into the cold palace, the Jiang family's title was taken away, he, the eldest son of the Jiang family, had no chance to inherit the title, and he no longer had any status in the elite circle in Beijing.
"What to do? Wait, now that the palace and the outside are under our control, how about letting these people be proud for a few days? There are so many officials in it, I don't believe that all of them are Zhao Zhen's best ministers, we just need to slowly divide them during this time, as long as a small number of people are willing to submit to us, and after You'er returns, we will find two important courtiers to read the will of Emperor Daxing......"
"As long as You'er ascends the throne, and there are officials present to prove that his accession to the throne is justified, we will no longer be afraid of those people outside, whether it is the Yang family, or the protégé and son-in-law of Jiang Ge Lao, if you dare to make any changes, it will be rebellion! With the current situation of our Great Song Dynasty, there are probably not many people who dare to stand up openly and bear the charge of rebellion, so, brother, before You'er returns, if you dare to ruin my good deeds casually, don't blame my sister for being unkind to you. Empress Jiang's face was as pale as water, and she looked at her brother coldly.
But what if something happens during this period? Whether it's Zhao Zhen or Jiang Ge, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and besides, doesn't my sister think that our things are going too smoothly? Jiang Wu couldn't help but say.
"It's not going to happen, you just have to remember not to cause me trouble in the next few days." Empress Jiang listened to her breath for a while, and a trace of uneasiness unconsciously rose in her heart, but this uneasiness was quickly expelled by her, and she said with a categorical face, things have come to this point, there is no room for turning back, since the day she was imprisoned in the cold palace, she has been planning for today, plus the energy she has accumulated as a queen for twenty years, it has taken so much effort, she doesn't believe that she will fail.
Fang Zhiying said
cough, cough, such a tense and severe atmosphere, but it was written so witty and relaxed by the author, it seems to be a little too funny, but Zhiying thinks that since we are not an orthodox historical text, and it is not a palace fighting text, a farming text, as long as there is no problem with logical reasoning, when the style can be easily witty, it is better to be relaxed and witty.
