Chapter 985: Early Monarchy
readx;
Li Ruofan set up a separate courtyard in the capital, not far from the palace, although he often went in and out of the regent palace, but Li Ruofan did not live in the palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After all, there are three ladies in the Liu family, she is a very smart person, and the three ladies are made by mistake, if she stoops into the Liu Mansion, she can only be a concubine, and it is better to be unclear and comfortable. Besides, the three ladies have been together for a long time, and they have long been hugged, and they are destined to be xenophobic, so it is better to leave immediately.
Li Ruofan's courtyard does not have too many Mongolian characteristics, she has lived in Beijing for a long time, deeply edified, the decoration in the courtyard is more Han than the Han people, into the customs, she is the Han crown Han ceremony, out of the customs, she has restored the Mongolian decoration and customs, every few days to change the life, but also comfortable.
Jiao Fang saw that the gate of this courtyard was wide open, but there were several Mongolian guards at the door, he got off the sedan chair, asked someone to worship the famous thorn, and after a while, someone invited him in.
Entering the room, Li Ruofan has been waiting in the small hall for a long time, she is wearing the most fashionable dress in the beauty shop at the moment, beautiful and moving, it is this kind of moving and the kind of separation with the regent, so that the identity of the outer room can tie Liu Chengfeng's heart, but at this moment, this flattery is a lot more restrained, after all, it is a Mongolian woman, but there is no defense between men and women, not to mention that Jiao Fang is a bad old man in his seventies, she smiled slightly, nodded at Jiao Fang, and said: "Lord Jiao do it quickly, the adults come to visit, so that the little girl's humble house is full of brilliance." , failed to meet from afar, and ask for forgiveness. β
This politeness flattered Jiao Fang, nominally, Li Ruofan also accepted these polite words, after all, he was the identity of the first assistant of the cabinet, and Li Ruofan was at most the mother of a vassal king, the queen mother of a fate, but Jiao Fang is a very real person, what he really does is that he never cares about false fame, nor does he fancy the so-called reputation and rank, who holds the real power, who speaks has weight is true.
This is his way of life, and it is precisely by virtue of this that he has the ability to suppress Li Dongdong and Yang Yiqing and preside over the overall situation of the cabinet.
"I don't know if Lord Jiao has read the newspaper recently?" Li Ruofan asked bluntly.
Jiao Fang knew in her heart that the queen mother wanted to go straight to the point, so she didn't dare to slack off, and said: "I've seen some, and many of them have good words for His Royal Highness the Regent, whether it is a gentry or a businessman, there are also words of approval. β
Li Ruofan smiled slightly and said, "Master Jiao didn't read these newspapers thoroughly. β
Jiao Fang couldn't help but wonder: "The lower official is stupid, and I ask my wife to give one or two." β
Li Ruofan said: "In the Xueer newspaper, there is an article that is quite interesting, saying that the emperor has not been traced yet, or there may be an accident. It's a pity that there is still no trace of it, which is a pity. β
Jiao Fang became nervous all of a sudden, he had been thinking before he came, Li Ruofan invited himself to come, he definitely didn't invite him to chat, there must be something important to discuss, and now the mention of the long-missing emperor made him nervous, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, more than a year has passed now, but I can't find out any news, I'm afraid that it will be more than auspicious." β
Li Ruofan smiled and said, "Actually...... I've got the news......"
"Oh?" Jiao Fang was shocked and said, "Really? I don't know Your Majesty'......" When he spoke, his voice trembled, this news was really a **, which made him difficult to accept for a while, it was too sudden.
Li Ruofan said with a straight face: "In fact, someone has already found traces of His Majesty in Nanzhou, but whether it is true or not, I don't know, and there are even rumors that the Nanzhou Governor's Mansion has planned to escort His Majesty back to Beijing." β
Jiao Fang said: "How did you go to Nanzhou?" β
Li Ruofan yawned, showing the appearance of a tired journey, and said lazily: "This...... It is not known, all in all, if the news is true, it will be half a year at most, and at least three months, and His Majesty will enter Beijing. β
Jiao Fang's throat rolled, and the whole person was a little shaky, and said: "Maybe it's a rumor." β
Li Ruofan smiled and said: "How can there be so many groundless things in the world, today I solemnly ask you to tell this news, this matter is at least eighty percent sure, otherwise you will be okay with me when I eat, will I come to talk to you?" β
If it was in the past, Jiao Fang would definitely say that he wouldn't dare, but now, his mind was full of messy things, and he was stupid for a while, and he said after a long time: "Your Majesty's return to Beijing is a great joy, a great joy." β
Li Ruofan smiled slightly: "Joy is great joy, hey...... I'm tired, and this news is still missing, so don't rush to spread it, just know it yourself. β
Jiao Fang nodded, said goodbye in a daze, came out of the courtyard, and sat in the sedan chair, Jiao Fang gasped heavily, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
This news is too shocking, although Li Ruofan is only ambiguous, but Jiao Fang knows that a woman like Li Ruofan personally called herself to the mansion, she must have an accurate news channel to say these words, the emperor, it is indeed found, and it may even be on the way from Nanzhou to Jingshi.
Although this journey was very long, at least three or five months, Jiao Fang could already predict what earth-shaking changes would take place in the imperial court.
Once the emperor returns to Beijing, then the regent will definitely return to power, with the relationship between the regent and the emperor, the emperor must not be like anything to the regent, and it is a big deal to let the regent become a vassal. But what next? You must know that although there are many things that were not done by the regent, but most of them are Jiao Fang Zhang Luo, it can be said that Jiao Fang has done a lot of rebellious things, and has also said a lot of things, these things, these words, the emperor will not know? Even if he doesn't know it now, he will know sooner or later. According to this reasoning, once the regent goes to Chudi, he Jiao Fang will be unlucky.
Especially back then, when the clan was forced to die, he Jiao Fang couldn't leave the relationship anyway, if the emperor was in power, would he be willing to leave such a person?
Jiao Fang sat in the sedan chair, the more he thought about it, the more terrible he felt, his heart was suddenly chaotic.
Wrong...... Jiao Fang suddenly caught something, the news just now was too terrifying, and it made him confused for a while, but now, he suddenly thought of something, why did Li Ruofan tell him the news, why didn't he tell the regent, but asked himself, what does this mean. Maybe...... Jiao Fang suddenly understood, he couldn't help but change his face suddenly, Li Ruofan, a woman, wanted to push herself to the edge of the cliff and let herself make a choice.
Jiao Fang's face was uncertain, full of hesitation, for a long time, he let out a long breath, and then instructed Sui Hu: "Come on, quickly take the old man's greetings, go and invite Li Dongdong, as well as Chen Hongyu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Qian Fang, the commander of the new army, and Gonggong Zhang and Gonggong Gu to discuss the matter together, and tell them that the matter is urgent, and after an hour, the old man will wait in the mansion." β

This is a very ordinary saying, ordinary can no longer be ordinary, as usual, Liu Chengfeng summoned the courtiers for a court discussion.
The hundred officials in the court are surprisingly silent today, they all look at Liu Chengfeng with strange eyes, these ministers, after a year of gradual replacement, most of them have become Liu Chengfeng's cadres, once the son of heaven and a courtier, although Liu Chengfeng is not the son of heaven, but he also has his employment standards, to do great things, naturally it is more convenient to use his own people.
"Is there anything you want to do today?" Liu Chengfeng asked as usual.
"Your Highness, Weichen has something to play." Jiao Fang stood up with his head high, then knelt down in the hall, and said: "The minister often hears that there are military and civilian discussions in the market, and the emperor is nowhere to be found, and there is no owner in the world, and the throne has been vacant for a long time, which is an unprecedented thing. Since the regent of His Royal Highness, he has made great efforts to govern the country, the politics have taken on a new look, and hundreds of officials have been subdued, and this great rule has also been in the world. Weichen is not talented, stealing that the Ming Dynasty cannot be without a king, and His Royal Highness knows people well, is wise and accessible, why not follow the example of the ancient Yao Shun, and receive the gift of Zen ......"
Liu Chengfeng frowned and shouted angrily: "Jiao Fang, is this what Renchen said, you are too presumptuous!" β
Jiao Fang was unmoved, and said: "The minister doesn't know how to be presumptuous, but he only knows that His Royal Highness is deeply loved by the people, and it is advisable to take the throne as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people!" β
Liu Chengfeng seemed to understand something, squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but look at Jiao Fang, then snorted coldly and said, "Nonsense!" β
As soon as his words fell, Li Dongdong stood up, knelt on the ground, and said, "What Jiao Gong said is very good, and Weichen seconded it. β
With him out of the horse, suddenly the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knelt down most of the time, and the other ministers who were standing were full of shock, and they didn't know whether it was better to kneel or not to kneel for a while, until Yang Yiqing, who was a little flustered, knelt down after hesitating for a moment, so the ministers of the full hall bowed down together, and the overwhelming crowd said together: "Please Your Highness take the common people in the world as your thoughts, take the throne as soon as possible, and appease the people." β
Jiao Fang shouted and said, "Long live my emperor." β
Everyone immediately understood, and shouted together: "Long live my emperor, long live!" β
And at this moment, the entire Forbidden City suddenly became nervous, and countless palace guards suddenly left their posts under the leadership of the military attachΓ©, and rushed towards the palace together, countless people drew their swords and rose up, swarming to surround the palace, and a group of military attaches led by Gao Qiang, the minister of the guard, shouted together outside: "If Your Majesty does not succeed to the throne, how can you be worthy of our brothers, if Your Majesty refuses, we will never agree." β
The guards coaxed together: "Long live my emperor." β
