Text Section 346 The poison of power
Duan Lang and the imperial guard of honor of Yutai Mingyue did not travel fast. Everywhere I went, I was greeted with a grand welcome. At first, Duan Lang was still with Mingyue, but later he simply hid in the car of Lantai Moli, leaving the infinite scenery to Mingyue.
I don't know what to say, I have never seen such an emperor in all dynasties. You must know that the majesty of the emperor is high, even if the emperor and queen mother are respected in the world, they are just an accessory of the emperor. It is even said that the harem is strictly controlled by each country, and the harem will never be allowed to participate in the decree. Duan Lang is good, not only let Mingyue concurrently serve as the army division of soldiers and horses, but also respect her everywhere he goes. If this were to be placed in other countries, I am afraid that the emperor would approve it, and the queen would not dare to do it.
Shantai Mo Lixin said that what kind of king with what kind of minister, the Great Calendar Kingdom not only has an alternative military emperor and queen, but there is also a Shangguan Xuanwu who can flash blind people in the court. In addition, such a Jishan Emperor who has no kingly style, I really don't know what the Great Calendar Kingdom will develop into in the future.
Xianglucheng, the capital of the Northern Ming Kingdom, and Duan Lang's imminent arrival made the court also talk about it. Since ancient times, you have not entered the land of other countries, but I didn't expect that not long after the establishment of the Great Calendar Kingdom, Duan Lang, who was named Emperor Jishan, came to the Northern Ming Dynasty. Of course, this is not an invasion with troops, as the emperor, he actually surrendered his identity to accompany the emperor and queen to return to his hometown, which is a supreme glory for Beiming.
Many courtiers are also secretly discussing, and some people began to express their dissatisfaction with the matter of forcing the third princess to take away the three princesses. They didn't dare to blame the lord of the country, so they could only blame the tassels. On the imperial case of the lord of the country, Tangtai Hongshi, more than a dozen twists and turns have been received, all of which are about forcing the Mingyue of Tangtai back then.
The increasingly old and sickly Tangtai Hongshi frowned, Duan Lang and his daughter Mingyue are now famous all over the world, and their return to the province is tantamount to raising several levels for Beiming. With this layer of in-law relationship, it will definitely deter the Moro Kingdom from committing it again. But for him, the lord of the country who was a father, it was very embarrassing. You must know that it was precisely because he listened to Tassel's advice that his daughter went away to another country and almost turned against him. Now that his daughter has become the emperor, Duan Lang defeated the coalition forces of the two countries and killed the famous Mo Kun. Even if the Great Calendar Kingdom had just been established, it was not something that they could provoke in the Northern Ming.
Yutai Hongshi threw away the folds depressedly, and Mo Lianhai, the manager of the inner government, cautiously walked over and picked up the folds one by one and put them away. The official system in the Beiming Palace is different from that of Great Xia, this internal government steward is not a eunuch, his position is equivalent to the general of the Great Xia Internal Affairs Office, and he is also one of the three major stewards in the palace. To be able to achieve this position, it can be said that it has won the trust of Tai Hongshi.
"Your Majesty, you have been overworked in the past two days, do you want to take a break?" Mo Lianhai asked softly.
Yutai Hongshi gasped slightly, waved his hand, and asked, "How long do they have to reach Xianglu City?" ”
Mo Lianhai bowed down and said, "As far as the minister knows, His Highness Mingyue is traveling very slowly, and he only arrived in Luo Bo City a few days ago. According to this itinerary, I am afraid that there will be eight or nine days before it arrives. ”
Yutai Hongshi sighed and shook his head, "Lian Hai, it is said that my daughter has returned to the provincial family, and I, the father and emperor, should be happy." But for some reason, this king just can't be happy. ”
"Your Majesty doesn't have to think too much, Her Royal Highness the princess has returned to the provincial family, which is beneficial and harmless to my Beiming. What's more, with Her Royal Highness the Great Prince following, Her Royal Highness the Princess will not do anything out of the ordinary. ”
As soon as he mentioned the Molli, the Mahari hurriedly asked, "By the way, how is the recovery from the injury of the Emperor Molli?" ”
"This~?" Mo Lianhai looked at Yutai Hongshi, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, according to the performance of the Great Pavilion Lord Huo Zasi, I am afraid that the prince of Moli will live in this life~." Of course, the famous doctor of the Great Calendar Country treated His Highness well, and it is said that in addition to not being able to walk, His Royal Highness Morry recovered very well. ”
Of course, Hongshi had seen Khozasi's performance, but he didn't believe that the good fighter would suddenly become a waste man who couldn't walk upright. Don't look at the great exploits of the Moro State against the Moro State, the Tai Hongshi still doesn't like this emperor in his heart. After all, his biological mother made a big mistake before her death and was exiled by the Ju clan, and Shantai Mori was also implicated for many years. However, the prestige of the military was very high, and for the long-term interests of the Northern Ming Dynasty, the Hongshi had to consider passing the throne to the Taoli. As for the prince's tassel, Tantai Hongshi also sighed that he was not angry and could not compete with Tantai Moli. Now that Duan Lang is obviously on the side of Lantai Moli, there is basically no choice for Lantai Hongshi.
Yutai Hongshi pondered for a moment and asked, "What are you busy with recently?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Tassel has been diligent in calligraphy and painting recently, and he is very enterprising."
Yutai Hongshi sighed, and the average courtier replied like this, basically indulging in the wind and snow. It can't be said that he is not doing his job, that would be slanderous. Yutai Hongshi knew that since Mo Li returned to the back of the capital, it had hit the tassel very hard. He even said that he was a little self-defeating.
Lian Hai, turn around and tell the tassel emperor that this time he will come forward to greet the provincial team. Anyway, Mingyue is his royal sister, so she must be grand and polite. Now Duan Lang is no longer what he used to be, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Calendar Country are strong, which is a sharp weapon to restrain the Moro male soldiers. Tell Tassel that if this business is done, I will give him a satisfactory arrangement. Yutai Hongshi commanded.
"Obey the order!" Mo Lianhai bowed down and agreed.
Yutai Hongshi thought about it, and summoned Rong Gu, the manager of the school office, over. It is said that Ronggu is only responsible for the security of the palace, but the monarch's visit is extraordinary, and Yutai Hongshi is also afraid that something will go wrong, so he specially arranges Ronggu to be responsible for the security of the honor guard of the Great Calendar.
The monarchs and ministers of Lucheng in Beiming Xiang were all waiting for Duan Lang's arrival, but at this time, the prince's mansion was a little different from the past. On weekdays, there are warblers singing and dancing, but today it seems very quiet.
The prince tassel stood under the eaves of the porch, his face pale and a little sickly. Since the eldest brother Lantai Mori regained military power, the Lantai tassel has been completely excluded. In particular, he listened to the bewitchment of the envoys of the Western Vietnamese, and almost caused the Moro soldiers to come to Lucheng. If it weren't for the fact that Tantai Morli turned the tide, he might have to pay compensation to survive. Now, the prestige of the Tantai Moli in the court is very high, and the Tantai tassel knows that he can no longer compete for the throne.
Tantai Tassel had completely lost hope, but he didn't expect God to give him a chance again. But this opportunity came at a great risk for him.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry about asking to see you." A personal attendant walked over and said.
Yutai Tassel was stunned, "Quick, please go to the main hall, I'll be there soon." ”
The tassel returned to the room and quickly changed into the prince's clothes. The tassel straightened up his clothes and walked quickly towards the main hall.
As soon as the tassel entered the door, Mo Lianhai hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Minister Mo Lianhai, please greet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Don't worry about things, when did you become so polite to Prince Ben, please take a seat." The tassel changed into a smile and politely gave way.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister still has a lot of things, so I won't delay His Highness's time. His Majesty dictated that this time the monarch of the Great Calendar Kingdom visited, His Royal Highness was fully responsible for the welcoming ceremony of Xianglu City. His Majesty said that the Monarch's visit is extraordinary, and it must be solemn and deceitful. ”
The prince tassel bowed slightly, "The retainers obey the order!" ”
Mo Lianhai smiled slightly, "Your Highness, Your Majesty also said that this errand was done well, and Your Majesty will give you a satisfactory arrangement." ”
The corners of the tassel's mouth twitched slightly, and he said that the satisfactory arrangement was nothing more than to give me a prince's territory before abdication. Compared to the king's throne, that's a fart.
However, on the surface of the tassel, he bowed down very respectfully and said, "Son, thank your father Emperor Hongen." Please tell your father, and your son will go to the palace in person to thank your father. ”
"The minister must tell you, since this is the case, then you won't disturb the peace of His Highness, and the minister will leave."
The tassel personally sent Mo Lianhai outside the palace gate, and the moment Mo Lianhai's figure disappeared, the face of the tassel suddenly turned cold. The tassel did not arrange anything, but silently waited for someone. He knew that the man would definitely come, and today he was going to make his own decision.
That night, the Prince's Mansion welcomed a guest with a hat on his head. The entourage had already been instructed to lead the guests directly into the backyard of the inner house.
Seeing the person dressed like this, Tantai Tassel couldn't help but sneer, "Why, as the manager of the school government, you are also worried about your safety?" ”
The person who came took off the hat, it was Rong Gu, the manager of the school office. When Duan Lang and Zhang Ruming came to Beiming, Rong Gu was just a little-known five-rank guard with a knife in the palace. But over the years, Rong Gu has worked hard up and down and is good at serving, and he has won the appreciation of Yutai Hongshi, and he actually sat in the position of school administrator.
Rong Gu cautiously looked left and right, and with a wave of his hand, he asked everyone to retreat. Rong Gu then said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if you have thought about it?" ”
"Steward Rong, do you really support the ascension of this prince, or do you have other plans?" Yutai Tassel looked at Rong Gu suspiciously.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I, Ronggu, am just a mere guard, where did I come from. It's just that he also participated in the inventory of Shufei Yuan in the next year, and I am afraid that once His Royal Highness Morry ascends the throne, he will settle accounts after the autumn. Therefore, only if you are loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you may be able to save your life. Otherwise, there is only a way to avoid calamity. ”
Rong Gu's explanation, Yutai Tassel felt that it was also reasonable. When he takes over the throne, he will definitely have to retry his mother's case. When the time comes, the people who participated in the attack back then, Mo Li will definitely not let go.
Tantai Tassel looked at Rong Gu and said calmly, "Steward Rong, what you said a few days ago, this prince has four points that are unclear, I hope that Steward Rong can solve the doubts of this prince." First, if the crown prince wants to seize the throne, how should Duan Lang deal with it? Don't forget that at present, I am in the Northern Ming Dynasty, and I will also use Duan Lang to deter the Moro Kingdom. Second, even if you can mobilize the palace guards, how many ministers do you think you can support the prince? Thirdly, Morley had a very high prestige in the army, and if he wanted to mobilize the troops of the large battalion outside the city, it would be a waste of his previous achievements. Fourth, although my father is old and frail, I am afraid that there is no sign of succession in the near future. His Highness felt that there was no need to rush into this matter. ”
Don't look at the tassel who wants to compete for the big position, but he is not stupid. If the seizure of the throne is not successful, this will cost the life of the family.
Rong Gu looked at the tassel with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, Duan Lang is the king of another country after all, and it has nothing to do with Duan Lang whether you are on the throne or not. On the other hand, this is the perfect time for you to take the position. If you miss it, I'm afraid Your Highness will regret it for the rest of your life. ”
"Oh? Why did Steward Rong say this? ”
"As far as I know, His Highness Namori has been seriously injured and is no longer able to walk upright. According to the ancestral system of the Northern Ming Dynasty, he has lost his qualifications. ”
Yutai Tassel smiled, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for Prince Ben to continue to wait." ”
"No, if you wait, you'll lose the throne completely."
Yutai Tassel was stunned, "Why is this?" ”
"Because His Highness Morri, I won't give you another chance. This time, Duan Lang and Princess Mingyue are nominally provincial relatives, but in fact they are escorting His Royal Highness Morley back. It can be said that His Royal Highness Morley is using the power of other countries to strengthen his own momentum. Even though His Highness Morry was seriously injured and sick, his prestige in the army did not disappear. Duan Lang came to Xianglu City this time, and he will definitely reach some kind of deal with His Majesty. When the time comes, do you think His Highness Morley will give you a chance? ”
Yutai Tassel was shocked in his heart, and Rong Gu's words hit his weakness. As hinted by his father today, knowing that his eldest brother Morley was seriously injured and sick, his father still did not waver in his intention to pass on the throne to Morley.
"Rong Gu, even if this is the case, you can't launch a military admonition when he arrives. The stakes are very high, and without absolute certainty, this prince will not act. ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, Rong has already thought about this matter for His Highness. His Royal Highness can contact the various ministries of the royal family in these days. According to the ancestral system, His Royal Highness Morley has lost his qualifications. This is your greatest advantage, Your Highness. In addition, the people who suppressed the Shufei clan back then were basically all the royal tribes, and they didn't want His Royal Highness Mo Li to take the throne. With the support of these people, you can do more with less. ”
"But my father's side, I'm afraid he won't agree."
Rong Gu showed a strange smile on his face, but said calmly on the surface, "Your Highness doesn't know anything, in fact~ Your Majesty doesn't have many days left." The imperial medicine in the palace forcibly supports His Majesty's body, but the outside world does not know about it. ”
Yutai Tassel stood up in shock, "You~ What you said is true?" ”
Rong Gu nodded slightly, "Your Highness, don't ask about this matter, otherwise it will definitely lead to death." His Majesty concealed it from everyone, and it is estimated that he would not inform His Highness until the moment of succession. If His Royal Highness asks about this matter, I am afraid that His Majesty will at least detain His Highness for the sake of the smooth transition of the imperial power of the Northern Ming Dynasty. In fact, if His Royal Highness is ruthless, and Beiming only has one heir left, what can Your Majesty do to you? As a king, there is no cowardice in the kindness of a woman. ”
Tantai Tassel looked at Rong Gu in surprise, thought for a moment and nodded slightly, with a hint of murder in his eyes, "Yes, my father sometimes does things, and he really doesn't care about family affection." When Mingyue ran away that year, his father even personally issued a hunt and kill order. Steward Rong, my father has appointed me to be the envoy to welcome the king, and to lead all affairs. Taking this opportunity, His Highness can control the strength of the city defense battalion. If it is true as you say, I can unite the various ministries of the royal family, and they will come forward to elevate His Highness to the throne. When the time comes, it will depend on how the father chooses. If he really chose Morry regardless of the ancestral system, then don't blame His Highness for being ruthless. ”
Rong Gu hugged his fists, "Chen~ Welcome to the arrival of that moment." Your Highness can rest assured that the entire school affairs will obey all the instructions of His Highness from now on. ”
Yutai Tassel took a deep breath, he had been a prince for many years, and he didn't want to get the throne so easily by a prince. As Rong Gu said, even if he killed Yutai Morli, what could his father do to him. can't always be dignified, and there is not even a successor. According to his father's temperament, he would definitely not pass the throne to the side branches of the imperial family.
The tassel was completely carried away by the desire for imperial power, he had no chance before, but now with the allegiance of the school office, even if the soldiers seized power, he would not hesitate to do it.
Rong Gu left the Prince's Mansion through the back door, and the moment he walked out of the Prince's Mansion, a hideous smile appeared on his face. Rong Gu did not reveal his identity as a secret envoy of Xiyue from beginning to end, even if he turned Beiming upside down, he could leave calmly. In order to let the Tantai tassel succeed in winning the heir, Ronggu decided to completely let the Tantai Hongshi pass away before Duan Lang's honor guard arrived.
As the administrator of the school office, the entire palace is under his control. Just add something to the decoction that Yutai Hongshi drinks every day, and you can let the old man leave safely without realizing it. ()
