Chapter 770: King Yongchang returns
In an instant, Yanqing Palace was out of the water, and Zhou Xianchen was assassinated, and a month had passed.
During this month, Jingshi Changping was in a kind of turmoil that had never been seen before in the Great Zhou.
Because Zhou Xianchen has not woken up until now, and the identity of Emperor Zhou Yiqi's son has been created to a point where the people want to go.
So in the end, not only the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but even the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all counted the two things of fire and assassination on the head of the regent palace.
From the beginning of the condemnation, there was a lot of discussion.
Later, it became commonplace to openly throw eggs and vegetable leaves at the door of the house, and smear and swear offensive words.
Under this great pressure, it is for the sake of the safety of everyone in the palace.
Xiao Jinxuan has experienced the changes in the Xue Family Palace, and has seen with her own eyes how the Rui Wangfu was forcibly broken into and almost killed in the Hidden Mansion.
Therefore, it is better to prevent trouble before it happens, Xiao Jinxuan doesn't want to wait for others to be captured in the Beijing Division, become Ji Lingfeng and Xiangping, and use them to threaten Zhou Xianyu's bargaining chips.
Therefore, before the situation was completely out of control, she made a quick decision, led everyone in the palace, and secretly left the capital in batches under the protection arrangement of the hidden guards.
The servants and maids who didn't want to continue to follow, she gave the silver and told them to leave on their own, and if they wanted to stay, she arranged to go to Rabbit Ridge first, and asked Meng Liangjun to take them in for the time being.
Especially Zhou Xianchen, an injured person who couldn't wake up, Xiao Jinxuan inevitably affected the condition of the other party's bumps, and also left people in Rabbit Ridge, and Old Man Ding and Ning Xiaodie took care of each other personally.
Although Rabbit Ridge is not an absolutely safe place, there is Old Man Ding sitting here.
Thinking of the other party's poisoning method that was capable of suppressing thousands of people in an instant, Xiao Jinxuan had nothing to worry about in her heart.
After arranging the old and weak women and children in the house, Xiao Jinxuan was also exhausted.
In this month, staying in Changping City, worrying every day, and being tired of maneuvering with people from all over the world, she lost a whole circle.
And now the night in the City God Temple is quiet, and on this mountain ridge that seems to be isolated from the world, Xiao Jinxuan's heart that feels stressed has finally been relieved.
Walking aimlessly, Xiao Jinxuan was worried about Zhou Xianchen's delay in waking up, and she was extremely disappointed because Zhou Yi unilaterally announced that she would ascend the throne and become emperor.
After all, this child still chose to go against her, also because Zhou Yi's ascension to the throne was set three days later, because Zhou Xianchen was in a coma, and under the public opinion that the country could not be without a king for a day,
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't do anything, and she had no position to stop it.
In order to prevent the other party from ascending the throne and becoming emperor, she will turn to the regent palace, so this is also an important reason why she left Beijing in a hurry.
There were too many things in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but raise her head and sigh, and it wasn't until this moment that she saw that she had unconsciously walked to the door of the main hall of the city god.
Xiao Jinxuan had the habit of worshiping the statue of the god of the city god because of her past experience, so after thinking about it for a while, she walked into the main hall of the shrine.
Looking at the solemn and solemn top, the three locks of long hair showed another look, and the face of the city god with love and compassion for the world, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but slowly kneel on the ground.
"The Emperor of the City God is above, and the believer Xiao Jinxuan prayed again sincerely, may the mighty Zhou end soon, and Xianchen wake up quickly. Emperor, in the final analysis, Zhou Yi, this child, was raised by my side back then, and gave him the status of a royal child. Now that he is using this identity, he is not the blood of the Zhou family but wants to get involved in the throne, and I also have a responsibility that I can't escape. Therefore, if there is any fault, I am willing to bear all the faults for Yi'er, and I only hope that he can turn back to the shore, and don't continue to make mistakes. ”
The clay fetus golden body statue naturally can't speak, but after Xiao Jinxuan bowed down devoutly, at least she felt much more stable in her heart.
When she stood up and was about to leave, she turned her head and saw Meng Liangjun, standing outside the hall with a lantern in his hand.
"Jinxuan, you are leaving, although I have lived in the mountains for a long time, but I also know about the turmoil in Jingshi from the mouth of the pilgrim. Since Zhou Yi is not the prince, if he wants to ascend the throne and become the emperor, wouldn't he be guilty of rebellion. But as far as I know from the pilgrims, my eldest brother Meng Mian, as the prime minister's capital, also strongly approves of this child becoming the new monarch, Jinxuan, you must tell your brother the truth, don't let him do foolish things. ”
Hearing Meng Liangjun mention this, although Xiao Jinxuan smiled and comforted the other party not to worry, a sense of powerlessness rose in her heart.
Because since the appearance of Zhou Yi, in order to prevent the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces from not knowing the truth, Xiao Jinxuan secretly told Meng Mian and Guo Yi her true identity in desperation.
It's just that after the two of them heard it, Guo Yi believed it, and he instinctively felt that Zhou Yi's identity was problematic.
After all, when Zhou Xianrui was seriously ill, he didn't mention a word about the succession of this child, which can prove that the identity of the other party's royal bloodline may be suspicious.
But when he arrived at Meng Mian, the other party not only didn't believe that Zhou Yi's identity was suspicious, but also felt that what Xiao Jinxuan said was false, and he was as stubborn as a stone.
Xiao Jinxuan could indeed let Meng Liangjun go down the mountain and help her explain things clearly to Meng Mian, but now in Changping City, even she had to leave for a while.
In this case, how could she ask Meng Liangjun to be in danger, so after comforting this good sister for a few words, Xiao Jinxuan didn't have more time to delay now.
Immediately, under the escort of Su Qi, Ziying, Bai Chu and others, even the carriage was abandoned, and he rode directly towards the Beijing military camp and joined Zhou Xian's royal pool.
Although it is more difficult to travel at night, Xiao Jinxuan's three years in Beirong, the riding skills taught by Xiao Yunyan himself are also quite solid.
Therefore, after a period of rapid whipping, Xiao Jinxuan finally reunited with Zhou Xianyu after a month.
In fact, in the past month, Xiao Jinxuan has been in Changping City, circling day and night, and her situation is worrying.
But Zhou Xianyu is not so good, he wants to kill back to the capital several times and guard Xiao Jinxuan's side.
But now he is the target of everyone, the death of Empress Dowager Chen, and the assassination of Zhou Xianchen have all been pushed on him.
Zhou Xianyu lived in the military camp, and no one dared to touch him with military power, so Xiao Jinxuan could also be in danger.
But if he loses his sense of proportion, and returns to Beijing alone, he will inevitably be directly taken down by Ji Lingfeng and Xiangping, who control the situation in the city, and it is very likely that his life will be taken away.
And if there is no Zhou Xianyu's military power, Xiangping, who already knows Xiao Jinxuan's true identity, will inevitably get rid of Xiao Jinxuan even if she is afraid of Beirong.
Therefore, Zhou Xianyu, who sat in the military camp, in order to keep the entire court situation from chaotic, had to deduce countless battles.
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan return to his side safe and sound, the heart that had been uneasy for a long time was finally let go.
As the so-called husband and wife work together to break the gold, Xiao Jinxuan is not an ignorant woman and child in the back house, after she arrived, she quickly gave Zhou Xianyu a lot of good advice.
Especially in the situation in the capital, Xiao Jinxuan analyzed the pros and cons from it, helped Zhou Xianyu, and improved the plan of marching and arranging the formation again.
And just when the husband and wife had no time to catch up, they seized the time to think of a way to break through the situation.
And he saw that the curtain of the tent was lifted without notice.
Then King Yongchang, who had not returned from Beijing for several years, appeared there impressively.
As soon as she saw this old prince, Xiao Jinxuan immediately got up to greet her with surprise on her face, and asked for peace:
"Father-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your old health has always been good. Now it is helpless to invite you to Jingshi, father-in-law, you sit inside, and then we will talk about it carefully. ”
Since Xiao Jinxuan was reborn, every step has been extremely bumpy and rugged.
It's just that there are many good things, and since she returned to Da Zhou this time, everything has gone smoothly.
Now that she has only arrived at the Beijing military camp, the king of Yongchang, who she ordered someone to invite more than a month ago, has also arrived on the front and back, which is really God is willing to help her.
As for Zhou Xianyu, who didn't know that King Yongchang was coming, he would also be very happy, and immediately invited the other party to take a seat.
"Uncle Huang, you can come to help, as your royal family, if you are willing to stand on our side, then even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will inevitably be shaken, and they will not be at the mercy of Xiangping."
Compared with the things on the side, King Yongchang, who is also accustomed to wind and rain, is still very calm, but his eyes all fall on Xiao Jinxuan's face.
In the letter that Xiao Jinxuan passed to him, King Yongchang, who already roughly knew what this goddaughter had experienced, couldn't help but say with pity in his eyes:
"Jinxuan, your current face is beautiful, but I don't dare to recognize you, father-in-law. But fortunately, you and Xianyu have finally come together, and this king is also very pleased to see it. As for Zhou Yi's life experience, I am also clear about my father-in-law back then. So you don't have to worry, since I am willing to come, I will do my best to help you stabilize the political situation, and not let Xiangping and Ji Lingfeng succeed. ”
King Yongchang would leave Jingshi back then, but it was not what he wanted, it was because Empress Dowager Chen and others were afraid that they would not tolerate him, so they were forced to go to the new back cover.
Now that the Great Zhou is stormy and turbulent, King Yongchang, as the eldest royal clansman, naturally cannot sit idly by.
And after getting the promise of this stepfather, Xiao Jinxuan thought for a while and said:
"Father-in-law, Xianyu, Zhou Yi, with the support of Xiangping, has already threatened to ascend the throne and become emperor in three days. Therefore, if we want to completely expose their despicable deeds to the world, why don't we choose to expose each other's lies in public at their so-called enthronement ceremony three days later. ”
Xiao Jinxuan's proposal is good, but after thinking about it, Zhou Xianyu still said quite cautiously:
"At such a critical moment, giving the other party a head-on blow can indeed have a deterrent effect. But even if there is an imperial uncle to testify, Zhou Yi is not the identity of the prince, and it is still difficult to be convinced. If we can't persuade the Manchu civil and military forces to believe, the situation will inevitably become extremely worrying, and it will be us who will be regarded as chaotic ministers and thieves. ”
But for this, Xiao Jinxuan smiled relievedly, and then saw a look of determination in her eyes and said:
"Maybe if the father-in-law is alone, it is indeed difficult to make people completely believe that Zhou Yi is not the prince's business. But if you add me Xiao Jinxuan, this former waste concubine of the Xiao family. changed his face and concealed his identity for so long, and it was time to completely break the things of the year. And I don't want to use Changde's identity to deal with Ji Lingfeng Xiangping, I just want everyone to know that I, Xiao Jinxuan, are back. ”
