Chapter Forty-Six: Caught in the Runwang Rebellion
Ming Dye quickly ran into the Begonia Courtyard.
"Mother, what's the matter? Why was the eldest brother imprisoned in Dali Temple? ”
She lifted the beaded curtain and saw Mrs. Ming sitting on the soft couch with her eyes closed.
"Mother?" She walked up to Mrs. Ming and squatted down, took Mrs. Ming's hand and held it in her hand.
Mrs. Ming slowly opened her eyes, "On the day that King Run led his troops to attack the city, he attacked from the south gate under the command of your eldest brother. ”
"Except for the south gate, the north gate is the north gate, and the north gate is ......" Ming Ran suddenly couldn't go on, because King Run's soldiers in the suburbs were closer to the north gate.
Mrs. Ming nodded and said: "It's just that King Run chose the South Gate to attack, and many ministers in the court think that the leader of the South Gate is not competent enough, and even say that your eldest brother is a henchman of King Run." ”
Mingran got up angrily and wanted to scold, but endured it again.
"When was the eldest brother imprisoned in Dali Temple?"
Mrs. Ming sighed: "Yesterday, after Zhan'er was taken away, a group of forbidden troops came. ”
Yesterday at noon, when Ming Zhan was on duty at the south gate, he was taken to Dali Temple by Liu Feng, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, Liu Feng is the younger brother of Concubine Liu, and the deputy commander of the forbidden army, one level lower than Mu Zhiyan.
Because Ming Zhan was the son of the Hou Mansion, he didn't let Hao Mu Zhiyan come to detain people, so Liu Feng led the forbidden army to take Ming Zhan away.
Yesterday evening, another group of forbidden troops surrounded the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion without any reason.
"Mother, is the eldest brother guilty, why do you surround the Hou Mansion?"
"Your uncle sent someone to say, someone said that your eldest brother followed King Run in private, and also discussed with King Run in private, opened the south gate for King Run, and allowed your eldest brother to be a general in the future."
When Ming Ran heard this, he couldn't calm down and said loudly: "Ridiculous, it's just nonsense." ”
"My mother also knows that this is a frame-up, but the person who said this is Lu Yongzong, who was lurking by King Run's side at the beginning."
Lu Yongzong is the hero of the rebellion at the moment, and there is no need for him to offend the Marquis of Ningyuan at this time, so his words caused an uproar in the court, and many people would rather believe that what Lu Yongzong said is the truth, otherwise on that day, how could King Run easily attack the south gate.
Mingran walked back and forth in the room impatiently, keeping his head down and taking care of the matter.
Lu Yongzong is Xiao Yiqian's person after all, so Xiao Yiqian must have known about this matter a long time ago, no, if it is true, then Lu Yongzong must have reported this matter when he lurked beside King Run.
Why did you talk about it in the court yesterday, then this matter was approved by Xiao Yiqian, so this is what Xiao Yiqian meant.
But why? As soon as King Run fell, King Run's henchmen in the court were still being cleaned up, why couldn't Xiao Yiqian wait to deal with the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion?
"Mother, where is Dad?"
"Your father went to the Rongguo Mansion."
Ming Ran was a little upset, and a wave of unsettled, wave after wave. The matter of the Queen Mother has not yet been settled, and the Hou Mansion has this matter again.
She sat at the log table that came in at the door, the door wide open, and the breeze blew in.
Mrs. Ming walked behind her, "Why are you out of the palace, the Queen Mother is okay?" ”
Ming Ran turned his head and shook his head at her, "Although Auntie's poison is not strong, the source of the poison cannot be found. ”
Mrs. Ming sat next to her, frowned and said, "That day, no one could get close to the Queen Mother, Aunt Zhu and I are fine, how could the Queen Mother be poisoned alone?" ”
"It means that the murderer's target is very certain."
"But your aunt is noble, who has the courage to do this?"
Ming Ran thought about it, leaned closer, and said, "Mother, Mrs. Lu Anbo heard that she has a heart disease?" ”
"I don't know much about this, when she came to the Hou Mansion that day, didn't she have a portable maid? I heard that it was a maid who took care of her heart disease. ”
Ming Ran thought about it carefully, and he didn't remember the maid in his memory.
Forget it, that maid has Muyang to check, I believe there will be results soon, after all, Muyang and Lan Ling are very safe.
The top priority at the moment is to rescue Ming Zhan first.
"Mother, I think there's something strange about the eldest brother."
Mrs. Ming looked out of the room, then at Ming Ran, and said: "Dye'er, this matter seems to be because your eldest brother is deeply involved in the rebellion of King Run, but in fact, this is behind the scenes, targeting the Hou Mansion, it seems that Lu Yongzong is not afraid of power, and he played this matter in the court, but in private, everyone understands that this is what the emperor meant." ”
"But the emperor's old people have not been cleaned up yet, why do you suddenly want to embarrass the Hou Mansion?"
Mrs. Ming hooked her lips and sneered, "Embarrassed? If it's just embarrassing, he named you the county lord and made you a well-deserved first noble daughter in the capital, and he let the Hou Mansion fall into the quagmire, in order to make your grandfather compromise and want to make you the queen. ”
Mingran was dumbfounded, staring out of the house with his eyes blank.
That's the answer she came up with.
"But mother, I really don't understand, can I be the queen to keep him on the throne? The Mu family is loyal, why is there a threat to him? But if the Mu family really has a disobedient heart, even if I really become his queen, what can I change? ”
She said with a crying tone, which made people feel moved by it.
Mrs. Ming got up and walked to the door of the room, looking at the sky outside.
She didn't expect that Xiao Yiqian would attack the Hou Mansion so directly, and so blatantly and without taboo.
With Lu Yongzong's identification, Ming Zhan was speechless.
If Ming Zhan is convicted, the entire Hou Mansion will be implicated.
"Dye'er......" Mrs. Ming sighed deeply.
Ming Ran walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder, "Mother, don't worry, I'll marry him if it's a big deal, and I don't think the Hou Mansion will be implicated." ”
Mrs. Ming looked at her sideways, looking distressed.
"It's my mother, I underestimated him."
Mrs. Ming pursed her lips and shook her head, she had long known Xiao Yiqian's temperament, how could such a person who knew how to be far-sighted and wanted something he wanted.
The Ming family and the Mu family, even though they are in power, are always just courtiers.
What's more, the Mu family is the humerus minister promoted by Emperor Xiaozong, even if the power is monstrous, he will not really disobey the emperor.
If Xiao Yiqian is willing to give the Mu family face, Rong Guogong will definitely rely on the merits of assisting the three generations of emperors to ask Xiao Yiqian for this favor.
But right now, it is obvious that Xiao Yiqian did not give Rong Guogong this face.
It is impossible for Ming Ran to really let Rong Guogong bear the name of disloyalty and injustice on the Mu family for her, and it is impossible for Rong Guogong to rebel against Xiao Yiqian again and again.
"Mother, if the eldest brother is really convicted, I will go to the emperor, if there is no place to turn around, I will marry into the palace, after all, it is the position that all women in the world want."
She said lightly, without the slightest dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Keming saw unwillingness and helplessness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
She stroked Ming's eyebrows distressedly, "How can my mother be willing to let you live that intrigue life in the palace." ”
The Queen Mother is a lesson from the past, and it is the pain in Mrs. Ming's heart.
A woman who has the highest position of power and the deepest emotions cannot have children of her own in her life.
