When Rong Jiang returned to the mansion, the old man really didn't settle down, and someone asked her to reply.

Rong Jing wanted to follow her, but because of her ugly face, she didn't even give a smile when she came back, and she couldn't tell what happened to her in the palace for a while, so she stopped, watched her go to the upper room, and went back to the second room without mentioning it.

When Mrs. Rong saw Rong Jiang, she still looked indignant, so she couldn't help but feel funny, beckoned her to sit beside her, and raised her hand slightly to pat the top of her head: "Do you feel wronged?" ”

Rong Jiang was dumbfounded, in fact, what grievances are there? But Bai stood for a quarter of an hour. But he couldn't help but nodded, and then said: "I have never met this highness, how can he tease me?" ”

"Silly boy." The old man touched the top of Rong Jiang's head, and smiled with his eyebrows, "Where is he teasing you." On the way back, I thought to your grandfather that if it weren't for the fact that you were seized of military power, he probably wouldn't want to get involved in the turbulence of Kyoto. ”

"Huh?" Rong Jiang tilted his head, blinked a few times with a pair of apricot eyes, and looked at the old man puzzled. But in his heart, he passed his words once, according to this meaning, the king of England returned to Beijing for the Rong family? "Then I don't understand it anymore. How the Rong family is, what does it have to do with him. How embarrassing his identity is, if I were him, it would be too late to avoid the emperor, so he would be better and send it to the door himself. ”

"You don't understand because you don't know who he is." The old man sighed, "The King of England was appointed as the emperor's younger brother, and when the first emperor was ill, he was in charge of the country's auxiliary government. If today's suppression of the Rong family, what do those founding fathers think after calling them? As he spoke, he stood up, walked a few steps to the desk, took out a letter, and handed it to Rong Jiang, "This is sent by Mrs. Zhou, you will understand it if you read it." ”

Rong Jiang stretched out his hand to take the letter and opened it unhurriedly, but after reading the content in his heart, he was horrified, hurriedly folded the letter, and looked up to the old man: "Edict? What edict? ”

The old man smiled, motioned for Rong Jiang to burn the letter, and then said to her: "Your grandfather knows about this edict." He just talked to me today," he said for a while, as if he felt that this in-law fox, he scolded with a smile before replying, "The first emperor knew that time was short, because the King of England and His Majesty were both taught by the Duke of Zhou, so he left a testament in his hands, guess what?" Seeing that Rong Jiang wrung his eyebrows and shook his head, he lowered his voice, "If King Ying ascends the throne, the edict will naturally not be kept." But if the crown prince ascends the throne, once the Rong family's military power is relieved in the future, the king can leave the edict to stay in Yecheng. ”

Rong Jiang's heart was shocked. She knew that the first emperor was a generation of Ming monarchs, and she also knew that the first emperor believed in the Rong family very much, but she never imagined that the first emperor even planned the future of the Rong family. It is said that knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, it is probably accurate that once the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely "settle accounts after the autumn" of the Rong family, and the Rong family loses the military power, what will happen to it, needless to say. That's why he left a testament back then, but I'm afraid that he doesn't even know the inside story today.

"But in this way, isn't the king standing on the cusp?" She thought of the gentle gentleman holding an ivory cup in the Jiying Palace, and was a little at a loss for a while, "Since even the first emperor expected that His Majesty would not be relieved, once the King of England stood up to protect us this time, wouldn't he lead the anger of the Son of Heaven to himself?" ”

"You also underestimate the King of England," Old Lady Rong didn't seem to be worried at all, "He has been in Yunzhou for eight years, can you see that he is mediocre?" Although his identity is embarrassing, it is also the best protection. Once His Majesty does something to the British King, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers, and those imperial historians can admonish the courtiers and blame the Son of Heaven, and His Majesty will be helpless at that time. ”

He analyzed with Rong Jiang again, and when he saw that it was already in time, he ordered someone to take the lamp and send Rong Jiang back to the upper courtyard.

Early in the morning of the second day, Taifu Zhou Youshen hurriedly entered the palace, and when he went to the outside of the Xuanzheng Palace, Zhao Liang had been waiting there for a long time.

Wei Jin came out of it and saw that Zhou Youshen was also there, still holding a yellow scarf in his hand, so he was stunned for a moment, and soon regained his composure, while leading Zhao Yu inside, he said to Zhou Youshen: "Taifu, wait a minute, let the slave return to His Majesty." ”

"Uncle Huang came to see me early, what's the matter, right? The queen mother is still waiting for the imperial uncle in Changlong. Zhao Heng had already gotten up and changed into a crown of court clothes, asked Zhao Ju to sit, and served tea left and right, and after asking a question, he heard Wei Jin reply that Zhou Youshen was asking to see outside, he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Ju, but saw that he didn't eat the teacup, just looked at himself with a smile, twisted his eyebrows slightly, and asked Wei Jin to pass people in.

As soon as Zhou Youshenfu entered, he finished saluting, and then listened to Zhao Heng's yin and yang strange words: "It's really a coincidence this morning." ”

He turned his head to look at Zhao Liang, and saw that he was still smiling solemnly, so Fang took two steps forward, raised the yellow scarf he was holding above his head, and knelt down again: "The old minister entered the palace today to come for the first emperor's edict. ”

The shock and anger in Zhao Heng's eyes were revealed for a while, he sat on the dragon chair for eight years, the probability of such a coincidence happening was very small, he quickly linked Zhao Liang's request to see him with this edict, and asked with some gritted teeth: "Edict?" ”

Zhou Youshen knelt like that, and said very slowly: "The old minister was entrusted by the first emperor on his deathbed, if His Majesty ascends the throne in the future, he must protect this edict well," he paused, looked up, and sure enough, Zhao Heng was staring at the things in his hand with a pale face, "The edict is written by the first emperor himself, and the book written on it can be retested." ”

"Tell me directly, what is the edict?" Zhao Heng stared at the edict in his hand for a while, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Liang.

"If the Rong family removes their military power in the future, the British king should stay in Yecheng, assist the new monarch, and stabilize the court." It was not Zhou Youshen who spoke, Zhao Ju didn't get up and knelt down, he still sat there steadily, facing Zhao Heng's angry gaze, showing indifference, and softly told him the content of the edict.

"Bang" sounded, it was the sound of Zhao Heng throwing the cup in his hand. His eagle eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to rush up and bite Zhao Liang's throat, as if the person in front of him was not his biological uncle, but an enemy who was different from him.

What to assist the new king! What a steady dìng court! The anger in Zhao Heng's heart couldn't be endured any longer. Is this his father? When he heard Rong Zhen's instigation, he personally sent him to Xirong, but after his death, he still had to leave such an edict, which was actually to prevent him from persecuting the Rong family! Rong family, Rong Zhen, what's so good, and why is Zhao Liang on his own!

"Uncle Huang took great pains to honor the family." Zhao Heng gritted his teeth at Zhao Liang, his hands clenched into fists under the wide robe, and the joints were faintly white.

"Your Majesty said something wrong," Zhao Liang slowly stood up, stood beside Zhou Youshen, stretched out his hand to take the edict from his hand, and went to Zhao Heng step by step, without pretending to be Wei Jin's hand, handed the edict to Zhao Heng, he smiled, but his tone was unusually firm, "What I am for, is the country of the Zhao family." ”

Zhao Heng almost laughed, the Zhao family? It turns out that he has become the person who doesn't think about this country and society the most? Is it a mistake that this dragon chair was handed over to him?

But the edict of the first emperor was in front of him, he couldn't help but accept it, and when he raised his hand to take it, he didn't open it to look at it, but asked Zhao Liang with a cold face: "Uncle Huang said this, didn't he feel overstepping?" ”

This time he has had trouble with Zhao Heng to this point, Zhao Liang is also a hard-boned person, he refused to back down, and replied immediately: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and I am also a descendant of the Zhao family." His Majesty called me Uncle Huang, I said that I was the Zhao family, what was wrong? He took another step forward and looked at Zhao Heng directly, "Your Majesty still thinks that the court should be your Yiyantang." ”

Zhao Heng suddenly got up and shouted, "presumptuous", so frightened that Wei Jin, who was serving beside him, also hurriedly knelt down, but Zhao Heng didn't see it, and still stood there motionless.

"Uncle Huang has been in Yunzhou for eight years, is there no monarch and national law in his eyes!"

Zhou Youshen also felt that what Zhao Liang said this time was a bit excessive, and he was about to open his mouth, but he heard Zhao Liang sneer and replied: "What is the purpose of the first emperor's edict, does Your Majesty still want me to break it?" You said that I transgressed," he took two steps back and suddenly knelt down, "It is my duty for the first emperor to order me to assist the new monarch in stabilizing the court and advising the Son of Heaven." ”
