Chapter 218: The Empress Dowager's Ambitions
"King Runan? Isn't he ......" missing? It is said that at that time, on the way back to Beijing by Zheng Jingming, the king of Runan disappeared because the Zheng family army was attacked by Yuwenrui, and after Helian County received the Runan army, he was never able to find it
to the whereabouts of the king of Runan. How could the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info suddenly appear outside the palace gate? Everyone looked at each other, all in disbelief.
Yu Wenwei's face showed joy: "Is it Uncle Wang?" Hurry up and get in! ”
The most pleased, but the Queen Mother. She always thought that her eldest son had already suffered an accident, and she was sick this time, mostly because of her thoughts. Who would have thought that there would be such a time to meet? The tears she had just wiped away poured out uncontrollably again. In the blur of tears, I saw a staggering figure walking outside the hall.
In the past, the pampered King of Runan was a servant, wearing dull armor, with a slight limp in his left leg, and walked into the hall with complicated emotions. Seeing the old minister he recognized, he bowed his head slightly, nodded heavily to Meng Ge Lao as a salute, and knelt down and bowed: "The minister sees the emperor and the queen mother!" ”
The Empress Dowager burst into tears, looking at her eldest son with distress and joy, and was speechless with excitement.
Yu Wenwei had already walked back to the throne, raised his hand happily and said, "Uncle Wang, please get up!" Where did Uncle Wang come from? Are you all right? What happened? ”
The Empress Dowager of the Runan Dynasty glanced at her with concern, sorted out her thoughts, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister is old, and the new and old diseases are attacked together, and it is no longer as good as it was back then. Fighting on the battlefield and defending the country is powerless. The emperor's brother took pity on the old and weak, and specially summoned the ministers back to Beijing to recuperate...... In the meantime, the details must have been reported to the emperor and the empress dowager, and the ministers will no longer talk about it. On the way, Zheng Jiajun encountered a surprise attack by Yuwenrui's army, with heavy casualties, and the minister lost contact with Zheng Shizi on the way. Who knew that he was ambushed by the anti-thief Hai Yuchang who refused to give up, and the minister had no choice but to defect to General Helian. Fortunately, General Helian took care of him all the way, and the minister was able to enter Beijing smoothly. There was no food and grass all the way, and it all relied on General Helian to plan for the 40,000 soldiers and horses of his ministers. Because of the plan set halfway, General Helian marched quickly in order to exterminate the rebels and recapture the city. The Runan army was mostly damaged, and the march was not fast, and it arrived in the capital a few days later than General Helian. When I came to the outside of the city today, I was shocked to hear from General Helian that the emperor's brother had died, and the ministers ...... Hurry up and invite into the palace, Your Majesty! Grand empress dowager! It's too late! ”
After that, the king of Runan let out a cry of sorrow. For a while, the Empress Dowager and several old ministers also shed tears, saddened by the death of the first emperor.
Everyone cried for a while, Lu Shangyuan said a few words of persuasion, and before Yu Wenwei could settle down, the Empress Dowager had already preemptively said: "King Qing has worked hard all the way, it is better to go to the apse to rest for a while, and after the palace people are ready to do everything, King Qing will go to worship Emperor Daxing again." What does the emperor think is good? ”
Yu Wenwei didn't want to disobey the Empress Dowager in public, although there were still many questions in his heart that he hadn't figured out, he still nodded lightly, "What the imperial grandmother said is that Uncle Wang will go to rest for a while, and if you have anything to say, let's talk about it slowly later." ”
The Empress Dowager retreated to the apse with King Qing.
The Empress Dowager waved away the palace people and called softly: "Wang'er! ”
King Qing pounced, knelt on the ground and cried, "Queen Mother, the princesses, daughters, daughters-in-law and grandchildren of the sons and daughters are gone...... Brother Huang is so ruthless! ”
The Empress Dowager's tears never dried, "How many of them are the boss?" ”
King Qing covered his face, whimpered and cried, and said indistinctly: "Little Er and Little Nine, they are all here." But the boss...... He was killed...... It's all to blame for the carelessness of the ministers! It's useless! Unexpectedly, after so many years, he is still not at ease...... If he doesn't get rid of the thorn in his side, he can't go with peace of mind...... Can you still be healthy? When the sons entered the palace, they were just worried about the queen mother, hoping that the queen mother would take care of the phoenix body...... Don't be too sad......"
The Empress Dowager looked at the eldest son in front of her, who was nearly half a hundred years old, with gray hair and grief, and the pain in her heart was less than his? His second son murdered his eldest son...... Seeing her own sons cannibalizing each other, who knows the pain of being a mother?
Fortunately, she has experienced too many ups and downs in her life, and she has long understood in her heart that the heavenly family is ruthless, she doesn't care whether Princess Qing is dead or alive, and she has never seen most of King Qing's daughters, and she has no feelings at all, what she cares about most is only King Qing's eldest son, and his first grandson, King Runan.
She quickly turned her grief into hatred, and after the death of her second son, she was sad and secretly relieved. Over the years, she has been suppressed too bitterly, she doesn't ask about the world in the harem, and she doesn't step out of the door, putting on a sincere appearance of cultivation, just to leave a little more life for her eldest son. But her second son finally betrayed the oath he made in front of her, and he failed to fulfill his promise, but instead killed his brother's relatives, so what else did she care about? Now that she is the highest-ranking person in the royal family, the new emperor is too young to convince the public, and does not dare to disobey her in the slightest, and this is the best time for her to find a way out for her children again. His two daughters are going to marry well! His eldest son will be by her side and live in peace! She must no longer leave the fate of the people she values to others in the hands of others! She won't trust anyone anymore! Even if that person is her own grandson!
"Don't worry, Wang'er! Our blood and tears will not be shed in vain, your cousin Helian has returned to the capital as promised, he will become your right-hand man, become your killing knife, and clear all obstacles for you. The future of the world will be controlled by you, Wang'er! ”
King Qing raised his face and looked at the Empress Dowager blankly, "What did you say, Queen Mother?" The child never thought of winning the world......"
"Silly king, this throne was originally yours! Decades ago, it should have been yours! ”
The face of the Empress Dowager that had been stained by wind and frost flashed with a strange light. She is very glad that she is healthy enough to survive today, she wants to personally send her most beloved son to the throne, and she wants to return the depression she has suppressed for so many years ten times and a hundred times!
On the top of the main hall, Yu Wenwei looked at the courtiers, "King Runan has already explained the reason for the incident to everyone clearly, and General Helian is really meritorious." It turned out that he did not snatch and incorporate the Runan Army, and his efforts to quell the chaos could not be erased! I have no reason to prevent the triumphant soldiers from entering the city. Spread my will, let it go at the city gate! General Xuan Helian and his generals went to the palace to listen to the seal! ”
On the side of the hall door, in an inconspicuous position, Xu Yuqin lowered his eyes, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
Wei Yan, Helian County, arrived in the capital one after the other. Are they going to be in and out of front of him, openly? In order to help Helian County defeat Yuwenrui, she even did not hesitate to sacrifice Hue. In the future, in order to assist Helian County in ascending to the throne, she should not be stingy in flattering more powerful people, right? She's so good to Helian County! (To be continued.) )
