Chapter 1070: Poisoning
Zhou Shaoyu returned to Bingzhou, half of the city, and there were many casualties on this expedition, which means that nearly 10,000 small families have lost their loved ones. Such a dull scene obviously had a great impact on Zhou Shaoyu, and it was quite burdensome.
Even though these families didn't blame Zhou Shaoyu, Zhou Shaoyu himself couldn't be so safe.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Li Xiuning obviously wanted Zhou Shaoyu to understand this truth more deeply and grow up further. At the moment, he is not in a hurry to persuade and explain, and see how Zhou Shaoyu responds to it.
On the other side, as for the beams, as early as the news that Gao Yuyao was unharmed came back, changes immediately occurred within the beams.
At the beginning of this year, Gao Yuyao's new policy, re-dividing the administrative region, and opening Enke, promoted a group of new science and technology scholars. These people are not of high grade, but they can't stand much.
If Gao Yuyao was not there, they would have to comply with the instructions of the imperial court center without a leader. And now, Gao Yuyao is about to return, and after knowing what the center has done recently, whether it is out of loyalty or in a hurry to express his attitude and position.
In short, a bottom-up officialdom revolt emerged, and its influence further expanded with the progress of Gao Yuyao's return.
In the end, the ministers of the DPRK and China did not care about the affairs of the DPRK and China, but it was not just a matter of panic and carelessness, but even if the government affairs were handled, as soon as they left the court, no one carried them out at all.
At this time, Gao Jianshen had not yet died. It can be seen that even Gao Wanshen has no choice, and those newly promoted officials don't buy his account. And once the center of the court loses control of the place, what is the use of coming?
Xu knew that things could not be stopped, and Gao Yanshen, who was not in good spirits, accelerated the speed of deterioration of his condition?
Gao Yanshen is gone, and most ministers are also panicked, but there will still be people who are unwilling. Undoubtedly, the people who are most prone to this kind of emotion are those who think that they have a good chance of competing for the throne.
If the Xiao royal family had an excellent sense of Gao Yuyao at the beginning, then now, it is the opposite.
Gao Yuyao became the queen mother and began to seize power, in order to seek support, the implementation of the kings of the separation, with this point, the royal family is naturally extremely supportive. I don't think it's a pit at all.
And with the development of the situation, they finally saw out, at the moment, in addition to the king of Qian, who is still staying in the capital of Qianzhou, which prince has a good result? At most, he returned to Jingshi and continued to eat and wait for death. And even if it is the king of Qian, in fact, there is only the territory of the last prefecture left, and the entire Qianzhou has been divided by Xiao Jiwen and Tanzhou.
Then as time went by, Gao Yuyao took over the power step by step with her own superb means, and her attitude towards them, the royal family, became more and more cold, and even had the intention of suppressing them.
It wasn't until this time that they suddenly discovered that it seemed that the division of kings or something was a pit at all? Thanks to them, they jumped down happily one by one, and in order to jump into the pit, they had to fight for each other.
That's a white-eyed wolf! The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart!
The royal family's opinion of Gao Yuyao is probably nothing more than this at the moment. In their opinion, they gave Gao Yuyao support, so they should repay it well, and what is the result? When the momentum is big, sell it? No, it should be said that it was used in the first place! Ready to throw away if you don't have any use value?
Fog grass, how does it feel worse than a dog. People who have a dog may not be willing to throw it away so casually.
Why did Gao Yuyao leave Jingshi and go to Licheng for so long? It's nothing more than that the checks and balances were too big at that time. At that time, in addition to the influence of the major families, those royal families also began to do things.
So simply, I don't want Jingshi, right? As long as the decrees she issued can be conveyed smoothly and the military power can be controlled, it is not a matter.
Facts have proved Gao Yuyao's success, as soon as she returned, the place was immediately attached, and she only knew the queen mother but not the imperial court. At this time, no matter how high your status is in Beijing, it will be in vain.
But the royal family is unwilling, how good do you think you are to die well? I'm a Xiao family, why do you want to let you be in power for a while? Or even rely on your snort to tremble?
Of course, even if he is unwilling, he is not stupid enough to go directly to the army. Are you kidding, what to take to raise troops? Even if there are guards in each royal palace, this is only a lot. As for winning over the powerful generals, if they really moved, the Jingshi would not have imposed martial law before Gao Yuyao returned.
On the same day, Gao Yuyao learned of Gao Yanshen's death on the way back, and was very sad, and the small guards of the association arrived in Beijing and entered the Gao Mansion first. The next day, many members of the royal family came to pay their respects, and because of her special status, Gao Yuyao had to order someone to set up a banquet to entertain her.
"Prime Minister Gao is gone, and we are also very sad, but the deceased has passed away, and the Queen Mother is the world, and I still want to mourn." The first to speak was an old prince, who was really counted by generation, and was already the generation of the little emperor's grandfather, in addition to the previous Dazongzheng, in the clan, his reputation was not low.
With this leader, others also spoke out with good intentions.
"You have a heart." Gao Yuyao seemed to be quite relieved, and there was a little smile on her somewhat haggard face.
"All of you here are your own family, and it is really appropriate to take care of each other, the Queen Mother is a woman among women, wise and martial, and has made countless achievements since listening to the government, I believe that with the Queen Mother, I will be able to return to the peak of the Xiao Liang Dynasty!" The old prince replied with a kind face: "The Queen Mother has worked hard in the north this time, and we have seen this kind of effort, but it is special nowadays and cannot be celebrated. ”
Naturally, this remark was echoed by everyone, Gao Yuyao had no choice, nodded, and ordered someone to serve tea again.
"The world has a lot of misunderstandings about the mourning family, I don't want you to understand it, the mourning family is very comforted, but Dai Xiao is in the body, it is not suitable to drink, I would like to express my gratitude with this tea, and I hope you can continue to support the mourning family." After that, Gao Yuyao drank the tea in the cup.
"It's nature." The old prince smiled even brighter.
"Huh? Why don't you drink it? Gao Yuyao found that something was wrong, and asked with a dissatisfied face.
Without waiting for the old prince to answer, a middle-aged man stood up, raised his hand and pointed at Gao Yuyao, and said with a smile: "Hahahahaha, everyone in the world thinks that you Gao Yuyao has good means, but now it seems that it is just Er'er!" Why not drink it? It is poisonous in tea! ”
"What!" Gao Yuyao was furious, and she was about to shoot the case here, but she had just made the action of getting up, but she suddenly held her head and sat down, gritting her teeth as if she was extremely painful: "You are despicable!" ”
"Despicable? Empress Dowager Gao is really majestic! You said that you are a mere woman, don't you stay in the palace and enjoy happiness? You have to seize power and control the government! What do you want to do? The dynasty can't be called! The middle-aged man asked loudly.
There were actually quite a few clans present, but except for a few, most of them had extremely shocked expressions, obviously not knowing anything about today's events. At this time, the middle-aged man turned around and said again: "Now that the queen mother has bad intentions in controlling the government, and the emperor is not as mediocre as a human king, my king of Hexi has done this righteous act and returned to power in the Xiao family. ”
As soon as these words came out, someone couldn't do it anymore, and immediately stood up and said: "Don't take all the credit on yourself, and I, King Hongnong......"
"And my ......"
“……”
Standing up five or six at once, it is obvious that he is the mastermind of today's events, as for the old prince who spoke first, it was the old god who was there, and he didn't say a word. He just received considerable benefits when he came out, but he would not stand in line so easily, and with his identity, no one dared to force him to stand in line. After all, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, he has a way to get a certain right to speak. As for fighting for yourself? Forget it, the heart is heartbeat, but in the end it is old to a certain extent, as for his own children and grandchildren, just those idiots, if they really carry it up, I am afraid that I don't know how they died.
The clansmen looked at each other, but they also knew that now was the time to make a choice. Gao Yuyao has been poisoned, and there will definitely be no drama, but if a few princes make such a public statement, it will be impossible to change their position in the future, and they have to be cautious.
"The first-class general Xiao Qi heard that only the king of Hexi would be the first to look forward!"
"First-class general Xiao Qi Yin wishes to be the only one who is the king of Hongnong!"
“……”
The first to express his stance was naturally already on his side, otherwise it would not have been so fast. As for the first-class general, it is just a title, and there is no real power, this kind of clan relationship is already relatively far away, and if you wear two or three more generations, you will not even have a title, and it is no different from a common person.
Just when those clan relatives who had not yet made a choice hesitated, a rare voice of opposition appeared.
"You are so bold that you dare to act rebellious!" The county lord Xiao Wan'e got up and said angrily. "Don't forget, this is a high mansion!"
The president of the Jingshi Shanhuai Pavilion Branch, although he was influenced by the Shanhuai Pavilion and did not have a high sense of Gao Yuyao, he was a legitimate queen mother, and the little emperor was also a reasonable and legitimate successor to the throne. And these people are obviously preparing to kill Gao Yuyao and abolish the little emperor, isn't this a big rebellion?
It's a pity that no one cares about her, this county lord with a weird personality has not been treated very well, and other clan relatives will give gifts even if they don't move around during the New Year's holidays, but Xiao Wan'e is basically deserted. That's not right, that's before, since she became the president of the Jingshi Shanhuai Pavilion branch, Xiao Wan'e secretly has a wide range of connections.
However, Xiao Wan'e's last sentence made the people present react, yes, where is this? Gao family! Blatantly poisoning in someone's home? It's okay to say that if you are poisoned directly, otherwise you can still shout and call the guards, and even if you die, you can take away a few cushions.
Hearing this, they all subconsciously looked at Gao Yuyao. This look, I was even more shocked, I saw Gao Yuyao sitting in a position with a bright smile but a little weird, it didn't look like she was poisoned after all.
"Wonderful, I can't imagine that the mourning family has returned, and I can still see such a good thing, the mourning family is not dead, so I can't wait to win support, is it too anxious? Still is...... Too stupid? "Gao Yuyao plays with taste. However, what outsiders don't know is that she is now shouting in her heart that Xiao Wan'e is doing bad things, let them continue to choose to stand in line, when the time comes, one will be counted as one, and they will all be repaired, and she has been coveting the wealth of these clansmen for a long time.
"You, why are you okay? No, it can't be! The old prince trembled when he spoke. Since Gao Yuyao is fine, it can only mean that people have seen through everything a long time ago, that is to say, they are in danger!
"yes, it can't be, right? After all, you're stupid! Gao Yuyao shook her head, and her indescribable emotions flashed away.
Of course, Gao Yuyao knew what the old prince meant. With them alone, it is impossible to infiltrate the Gao Mansion at all, that is to say, there are internal responses within the Gao family, and even there are many internal responses. The result of this situation is that Gao Shen, who has died of illness, gradually arises.
When Gao Yuyao hurried back, she knew that Gao Yanshen only left a last word for her, and the original words were 'This matter is all caused by me, no one else has nothing to do with it, don't implicate hundreds of officials'.
However, this is just a last word left on the surface, but behind the scenes, it is another plan. It's not that Gao Yanshen doesn't love his daughter, it's just that he won't allow Gao Yuyao to continue to sit big, and if he goes on like this, even if Gao Yuyao has no ideas, he can't stand the push of the people below, don't forget, someone has already played a few years ago to invite Gao Yuyao to ascend the throne.
However, he was about to die, and he was powerless to stop it, and after his death, no one could suppress the resistance of the hundred officials. Then, you can only use the royal family.
Ordered the loyal people to follow the instructions to follow the arrangement of the clan relatives to murder Gao Yuyao, and at the same time left a secret suicide note, questioning Gao Yuyao as a father, and making the matter more justified. To be on the safe side, several princes also secretly assembled their guards in case of contingencies.
As long as Gao Yuyao dies, except for a few diehards, they all have to think about their own future, so they can re-emerge from the choice of position, maybe it will indeed be chaotic for a while, but for the sake of the throne, everything is worth it. And Gao Jianshen also saved the loyalty of the Gao family because of his righteous move to kill his relatives, and there would be no empress.
Is it just now......
"Father, do you treat my daughter like this?" Gao Yuyao sighed in her heart. "It's a pity that people's hearts will become, if you are here, they will certainly not rebel against you, but you have already passed away."
Gao Yuyao, who got the secret report, will plan it, and he is worried about how to find a way to squeeze the clan, this is good, he sent it to the door, and he will not be punished for his rebellion. Of course, Gao Yuyao will not publicize Gao Yanshen's plan, not only because it will affect her reputation of Gao Yuyao and the Gao family, but as her daughter's last bit of mind, if she wants to be a loyal minister of Daliang, then she will go well decently, or don't be involved in these bad things. lest posterity criticize him.
It's just that I'm really alone.
From now on, the Xiao royal family will not like her. And the Gao family, because of Gao Yanshen's attitude of staying, will not accommodate her. Gao Yuyao could only insist on moving forward alone.
It's always a woman, and when she is vulnerable, she often subconsciously seeks a harbor, but involuntarily, she thinks of Zhou Shaoyu.
Gao Yuyao shook her head vigorously, there is no possibility, why bother thinking about it, let's solve the matter in front of you first.
