Chapter 546: Unexpected Surprise
I'm afraid that Yang Xian himself didn't expect that the court's cannon punch against Yang Sichang would make him prosperous in the future, and eventually replace his own family Yang Sichang.
Not to mention, in the court after the chaotic battle, when everyone stopped, they were stunned to find that the Queen Mother had already left.
Mu Zheng didn't come out to persuade from beginning to end, and when everyone was tired, he stood on the side of the jade steps and said to the ministers with compassion: "Your official authority is really not small, the Queen Mother was scared away by you the first time she listened to the government, and those who don't know think you are going to rebel!" The Queen Mother said that she wouldn't dare to take care of it in the court in the future, so you adults should do it yourself! ”
After Mu Zheng finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving behind the Manchu civil and military at a loss, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all knelt on the ground.
"The queen mother is angry, and the ministers know that they are wrong"
The sound was neat and orderly, as if it had been rehearsed a long time ago.
Cining Palace belongs to the harem, and there is no special summons, and the courtiers are not allowed to set foot in it, so they can only kneel in the Golden Palace to plead guilty.
Yang Sichang couldn't help but secretly regret it, according to his idea, the queen mother was young and knowledgeable, and he mobilized the courtiers to play together in the Golden Palace, and the queen mother would agree to anything, but now I found out that it seems that this young queen mother is not so simple, I knew this, I should have discussed it with her first, and then put it forward at the court meeting.
In fact, it's no wonder that Yang Sichang is careful, who made the rumors about Ye Xun and the Queen Mother so ambiguous, in case the two of them are really tired, Yang Sichang went to find it privately, I am afraid it will not be useful, so only in front of all the courtiers to force the Queen Mother to make an order, then this matter will be done.
Things have come to this point, Yang Sichang is also difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only kneel in front of the ministers and take the lead in asking the Queen Mother for guilt, as for what to do next, he can only put out the anger of the Queen Mother first.
It didn't matter if the courtiers waited too long, and soon the harem came out, and the courtiers returned to their posts to work, and they must not delay the government affairs, and other things will be talked about later.
Listening to the tone, the Queen Mother's anger didn't seem to be too serious, Yang Sichang glanced at Yuan Keli, and in eye contact, he once again achieved some kind of ulterior purpose...
After the New Year, there seem to be a lot of programs in the Ming court, first the emperor died, then the new emperor ascended the throne, the queen mother hung the curtain to listen to the government, and then there was a call for the fallen leaves in the court again.
Many people have a feeling that the seemingly peaceful capital is actually an undercurrent.
After the New Year, a guest came to the house of Yang Wanqing, the commander of the horses, and this guest was Xu Wenjue, the prince of Wei.
Xu Wenjue came to mourn the emperor on behalf of his father, and by the way, he also participated in the new emperor's accession to the throne.
Wei Guogong has always been related to the royal family, so he is also related to Yang Wanchun, and the two have the same smell, so every time Xu Wenjue comes to Beijing, he lives in the Horse Mansion.
This kid is a thief with a weak heart, and he hides and hides when he goes in and out, for fear that Ye Xun will trouble him, but fortunately, Ye Xun has not appeared again since the fight, which also reassures him a lot.
Originally, he was going to return to Jinling in the next few days, but after knowing that Yang Sichang and others were secretly subverting Ye Xun, he stayed again.
This matter is very important to their father and son, and even the entire Jiangnan, how can Xu Wenjue not care?
The cold wind outside is still there, but the flower hall is as warm as spring, Xu Wenjue and Yang Wanchun are sitting opposite each other, with only a few light side dishes and a pot of old wine in front of them.
From the bottom of his heart, Yang Wanchun also hated Ye Xun very much, but his strength was limited, and he couldn't even hurt Ye Xun's hair, so he could only bury this hatred deep in his heart.
After a few glasses of wine, both of them had a little bit of alcohol, and they talked more.
"Brother Yang, you have been in the capital for a long time, you have many acquaintances, and you have a wide range of roads, do you think Yang Ge Lao and them can succeed this time?"
Yang Wanqing pouted and said: "It's hard to say, the most important thing is that Yang Ge Lao and they don't have military power, and the British Duke refuses to come forward, you know, the Beijing camp is almost all under the world of the Liaodong Army, without important ministers, they can't be suppressed at all, and without the support of the army, it is difficult to do anything."
"But it also depends on the attitude of the Queen Mother, there are rumors that the eunuch has not entered the palace for a long time, it seems that the news that he fell out of favor in front of the Queen Mother is not groundless, and as long as the Queen Mother can make an order, those troops are also my Ming army, and there is no reason to stand on the side of the eunuchs."
"Since this is the case, then Yang Ge Lao, what are they waiting for, unite some loyal and upright people to beg the Queen Mother, unite as one, I don't believe that I can't defeat that eunuch."
Xu Wenjue was always afraid that Ye Xun would retaliate against him, so he hated that the Queen Mother would order Ye Xun to be taken down now.
"Hey! You think I don't want to! There are many people in Beijing who hate the eunuch, but after such a long time, the eunuch is not the same as the one who is alive, and no one has hurt half of his cold hair, so virtuous brother! This is something that cannot be rushed."
Yang Wanqing said and made a gesture to invite wine.
Listening to Yang Wanqing's words, Xu Wenjue couldn't help but be silent, you must know that he has many ways to assassinate Ye Xun, but as Yang Wanqing said, he can't help Ye Xun at all.
I picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it, when I suddenly heard a sound coming from the top of my head, and subconsciously looked up, and saw a black thing smashing towards my head.
It happened suddenly, Xu Wenjue didn't have time to dodge, and Yang Wanqing on the side also suffered the same, and when he heard the movement and looked up, it was already too late.
"Poof..."
After the sound of the heavy object falling to the ground was accompanied by two screams, a huge beam was seen first smashed on the heads of the two people, and then rolled to the ground, and bright red blood splattered everywhere.
In ancient times, the wood used by the wealthy to build houses was extremely valuable and strong, and such a beam had to weigh at least a few hundred catties.
Imagine a few hundred pounds of things falling from the sky and smashing on the head, can there still be good?
The heads of the two people were like watermelons that had been smashed, and the red and white things splashed everywhere, and they didn't even have time to hum, and the two hung up.
The maids waiting around were stunned for a moment, and then ran away screaming.
No one understands how the beams of the house fell down, and according to the housekeeper who came over later, they found that one side of the beam had already been eaten by insects and ants, so it was easy to explain that the beam suddenly fell.
Soon, the news that Duwei and Shaoguo Gong were stoned to death by Fang Liang in the Horse Mansion were sent to the Ten Princes' Mansion and Jiangnan respectively.
Almost at the same time that Xu Wenjue was stoned to death by Fang Liang, Xu Hongji, an old prince who was far away in Jinling, accidentally fell into the water when he was playing on the Qinhuai River, and when his subordinates rescued him, he found that the old prince had already lost his breath.
There are people falling into the water on the Qinhuai River every day, and there are not a few who drown, but a character like Xu Hongji, who has a large number of followers in and out, is very accidental when he falls into the river, and he was rescued not long after falling, so it stands to reason that he should not die.
But it seems to be a normal thing, but it is not so normal, and even after he came to inspect Xu Hongji's body, he also gave the conclusion that he drowned.
The Xu family had no choice but to build a mourning hall in the mansion on the one hand, and report to the court on the other, and at the same time Feishu Shaoguo Duke Xu Wenjue, asking him to come back immediately to mourn...
The Xu family didn't know at all that the old grandfather and grandfather had already joined hands to report to the king of Yama at this moment...
