Chapter 101: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne
The matter in Shangjing ended suddenly, and Concubine Wen was almost defeated, and she had no ability to fight back at all.
The queen bought several ministers to support her, plus the queen and the eldest prince are orthodox in the end, as well as the connections that the Marquis of Nanping has been operating for many years, Concubine Wen suddenly became a demon concubine who wanted to shake the country, and the queen proposed to let Concubine Wen be martyred for the first emperor.
As for the three princes, the queen doesn't have much embarrassment, but it's just that there is no embarrassment at present, after all, the throne has just been decided, and it is not easy to kill a prince in the future?
This is a well-known thing.
The queen was worried about the long nights and dreams, and soon let the eldest prince ascend the throne as the emperor, and at this time, the first emperor had not even been buried.
The new emperor registered and granted amnesty to the world, what is surprising is that the first thing the queen did was to issue an edict to rehabilitate Li Junze, saying that he had meritorious service in guarding Dengzhou, and also issued a document to reward the soldiers of Dengzhou, and even sent a batch of rewards saying that they were to reward the soldiers of the three armies.
But strangely, this time the queen ...... Oh no, she should be the Queen Mother by now. The girls in the Nanping Marquis Mansion seem to have the problem of liking to listen to the government, and the first queen mother controlled the government, resulting in the separation from the mother and son of the first emperor, and the queen mother did not let it go, and also began to control the government.
After all, the eldest prince didn't really come out of her belly, and her own mother and son would turn against her because of power, not to mention that the queen has always only regarded the eldest prince as a tool to stabilize her position, and she really doesn't have much sincerity.
However, when Zhao Siyan and Li Junze saw these things, their expressions were a little playful.
Li Junze didn't go to see the envoys sent by the Queen Mother, but he asked Zhao Tingshan to come forward to receive him, Zhao Tingshan is his father-in-law, and it is said that he is also Li Junze's elder, so it is not rude.
"Why is there no holy decree?"
Inside the house, Zhao Siyan supported her chin, ate the candied fruit fed by Li Junze, and asked slowly.
After three months, Zhao Siyan's symptoms disappeared and she could start eating, but she didn't like to eat meals, she preferred things like candied fruit, Li Junze let her, in his opinion, as long as Zhao Siyan could eat something, it would be good, anyway, it was not unaffordable.
And Li Junze also has an extra hobby, he likes to feed Zhao Siyan food, so whenever he is at home, he feeds Zhao Siyan food.
Once the Liu family came to visit her daughter, and when she saw this scene, she didn't even look at it.
Li Junze said casually: "Yes, why is there no holy decree? If the queen had come up with the will of the former emperor instead of the dictator, things would not have been so troublesome. ”
With a holy decree, no one can say that the divine decree is false, and if you want to disobey the will, you must consider it.
Zhao Siyan raised his head suddenly: "It can't be that the Queen Mother didn't find the jade seal, right?" ”
She could only guess this possibility, there was no jade seal, so she couldn't make a holy decree. Thinking about it carefully, since the queen ascended the throne, it seems that she has really not issued a few holy decrees, and the only one is amnesty for the world.
Li Junze and Zhao Siyan glanced at each other, this is the emperor hiding the jade seal?
What this emperor did was really perfunctory.
Both shook their heads.
Li Junze didn't see the envoys sent by the Queen Mother, but he also offered people with good food and drink, and then sent them away, and the rewards or other things were left.
The envoy went back to restore his life, and some of them were not allowed to Li Junze's attitude, so she made another decree, ordering Li Junze to go to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion and destroy Wang Shaojun.
This is also the queen mother's attitude to test Li Junze, this time Li Junze did not disappoint her, Li Junze announced that the world refused to accept the holy decree, and publicly said that the emperor's imperial name is not right, not orthodox, and second, he accused the queen mother of murdering the former emperor, with bad intentions, and he wanted to correct the name of the Li royal family!
Li Junze is naturally qualified to represent the Li royal family, he is the nephew of the former emperor, and he is a serious grandson-in-law.
Although he has the status of a son-in-law, he is not a real son-in-law in the end, and a son-in-law is really born.
Li Junze's announcement caused an uproar in the whole country, but most of the people actually supported Li Junze, because since the emperor ascended the throne, the queen mother has been interfering in deciding on all matters in the court, which has made many ministers very dissatisfied.
How can there be a reason for women to interfere in politics? Even the Empress Dowager has never done it so blatantly.
Daqi is a country that pays attention to Confucianism, and has taken the emphasis on literature and light on military force to the extreme, and it is even more common to despise women.
After Li Junze made the announcement, he immediately ordered troops to set off for Beijing.
At this time, Zhao Siyan was more than five months pregnant.
The night before departure, Zhao Siyan was packing Li Junze's luggage, originally Li Junze said to let the maid pack up, but she insisted on coming by herself.
"Outside, it's okay to bring less clothes, I'll bring you more wound medicine, by the way, last time my grandfather gave me a human body, I will also put it on for you."
Li Junze stepped forward and grabbed her hand and looked at her guiltily, "I'm sorry for the words, I had to leave this time." ”
There has been no movement in Jiangnan, and he has not found Wang Ye Yi, he has sent a lot of people over, but there is no news, originally thinking that if Wang Ye Yi is here, he will not need to send troops.
Zhao Siyan smiled slightly and put his hand on his lower abdomen: "My child and I both know that you are doing serious things, so how can I blame you?" After a pause, she lowered her voice and said, "I just ask you to come back safely." ”
Zhao Siyan said, raised her head and glanced at him: "My mother always told me that she married my father and was afraid for a lifetime, but she never regretted it. After a pause, she continued: "I can't fight alongside you, but I can take care of myself so you don't have to worry. ”
Li Junze hugged her tightly, his eyes slightly warm.
Zhao Siyan smiled and said: "You have your battlefield, I also have what I want to do, I will take good care of me and the child, and wait for you to come back." ”
Li Junze lowered his head and kissed her gently: "I promise you, I will be fine, and I will grow old with you." ”
The fastest time passes is the last moment of reunion.
Li Junze was about to set off with the troops early in the morning, she looked at his back, watched him stride away from her side, she knew that he was about to enter another world, where there were splendid mountains and rivers, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
A wave of uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart, if one day, when he gets the whole world, will he still be her alone Li Junze?
Zhao Siyan's heart couldn't help but flash a touch of unease, but she didn't dwell too much on this matter, the most important thing for her now is to take care of her body and give birth to a child, as for the future, she chose to leave it to time to prove.
He did it, or he couldn't, she had to bear it.
Last time, the Marquis of Nanping led his army to crusade against the rebels and returned triumphantly, but this time he didn't have such good luck when he met Li Junze.
The army led by Li Junze was like a bamboo, all the way north, and everywhere he went, he was almost invincible.
With the good news, Zhao Siyan's heart was also half relieved.
The queen mother in Shangjing was furious, but this time it was the Marquis of Nanping, who was her mother's family, and it was not easy to punish her. This time, the Queen Mother refused to even pretend, and appeared directly on the Jinluan Palace, ordering the courtiers to come up with a way.
Some upright ministers were dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's interference in court politics, and accused them in person, and were immediately ordered by the Queen Mother to be pulled out and executed, and they were killed as an example.
The other ministers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and only by following the queen mother could they leave a way to live.
The new emperor just ascended the throne, when he was the prince before, he was packaged by the queen as a polite queen concubine, in fact, the queen was not close to him in private, and even a little disgusted, which made the new emperor have an instinctive fear of the queen, and now the queen mother is arrogant, he shows the cowardly and weak part of his character.
The emperor was afraid of the queen mother's momentum and did not dare to come forward, which made many ministers even more disappointed in the emperor.
In contrast, Li Junze on the opposite side is strategic, courageous and assertive, and most importantly, he is still a descendant of the royal family, and in terms of identity and status, he is no worse than the emperor.
And the most important thing is that Li Junze does not have a mother yet, so there is no need to worry about the queen mother interfering in politics. Prince Yi is also a shrewd and capable person, no matter who these two people are the emperor, they will be harmless to Daqi.
Therefore, many ministers even began to waver, and felt that there was nothing bad about Li Junze's rebellion.
At this time in Jiangnan, Jiang Yi finally found Prince Yi who was in danger, and there was no one around Prince Yi at this time.
Several people were chased and killed by Wang Shaojun's rebels, but fortunately, He Yugui was very familiar with this place along the way, so he took them to escape the pursuit again and again.
On this day, several people successfully avoided Wang Shaojun's subordinates and hid in a ruined temple to rest temporarily.
Prince Yi was very satisfied with He Yugui, and looked at his chin: "I didn't expect that my son is really talented, and with you to assist him, this king will be relieved." ”
Jiang Yi glanced at Prince Yi, and secretly said in his heart, this is not with the prince, this is the princess's person, no, it seems strange to say this.
Gu Chenfeng said with a smile: "The prince has a good rule, so naturally there is no shortage of talents. ”
He Yugui suddenly raised his head and said, "I'm not Li Junze's subordinate, I'm here to save you, just to help." ”
Gu Chenfeng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Wang Ye Yi was stunned for a moment, and did not feel that he was offended, but felt that He Yugui was quite a personality. For those who have the ability, as a superior, they will also give some preference and tolerance.
Wang Ye Yi smiled and said: "Not now, it can be in the future, is it possible that my son is not worth following?" After a pause, he said: "A manly man, you should aim in all directions, start a family, you have good skills, don't you want to find a good future for yourself?" ”
He Yugui glanced at him and did not speak.
Wang Ye Yi frowned faintly, keenly aware that this person seemed to be a little strange, but now is not the time to pursue this, it is important to get out of danger as soon as possible.
"He Gongzi, in your opinion, what should we do next?" Jiang Yi looked at He Yugui: "I think Wang Shaojun has to catch us this time." ”
Gu Chenfeng nodded: "The eldest prince ascended the throne, and Concubine Wen was forced to be martyred, but Concubine Wen's power should not be underestimated, Concubine Wen was in a hurry to turn over, and her only hope now was to catch the prince to negotiate conditions with the queen, so Wang Shaojun was bound to win for us." ”
He Yugui's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Gu Chenfeng, he had a good impression of Gu Chenfeng, and his attitude towards him was better than that of Prince Yi.
"Gu Gongzi is right, Wang Shaojun is born in mud, brave and strategic, he will definitely think that we will go to Dengzhou, which is the base camp of the prince, and there will be a lot of ambushes along the way, so we can't go to Dengzhou." He Yugui said: "I heard that now the prince is moving north, so we will also go to Beijing to join the prince." ”
After listening to He Yugui's words, Gu Chenfeng glanced at him, he always felt that He Yugui had the intention to lure the pursuers away when he said this.
In fact, the current Yi Wang Ye is a live target, and everyone knows that as long as he catches him, he can contain Li Junze, so there will definitely be no shortage of people sent by Wang Shaojun.
Zhao Siyan is pregnant, and it is absolutely impossible for her to go on the expedition with Li Junze, so she must have stayed in Dengzhou, and Dengzhou is now tantamount to an empty city, and the army has already gone out with Li Junze.
Is this for Zhao Siyan?
Lord Yi didn't know this, he only felt that what He Yugui said was very reasonable, and nodded when he heard the words: "Since this is the case, then according to what He Gongzi said, this king will cooperate with you!" ”
So Wang Ye Yi and his entourage went to chase Li Junze.
Concubine Wen was destined to be disappointed, she didn't wait for Wang Shaojun to catch Prince Yi, the Queen Mother couldn't tolerate her, and on the day of the first emperor's burial, Concubine Wen was forced to be buried.
And with the death of Concubine Wen, the Mansion of the Marquis of Cheng also collapsed, and all of them were convicted overnight.
When the news reached Dengzhou, Zhao Siyan thought about it and asked people to tell Wen Jingting.
Speaking of which, Wen Jingting's plot to kill Zhao Siyan was unsuccessful, and now he is still in prison, Li Junze originally wanted to kill him, but was persuaded by Zhao Siyan because he wanted to pray for their children.
In fact, it's not Zhao Siyan's heart, she just wants Wen Jingting to see with her own eyes the situation after everything he wants to plot is ultimately lost.
Zhao Siyan has never been a soft-hearted person, when she wants to fight back against someone, she is definitely not an understatement of fighting and killing, she will destroy what the other party cares about the most.
This is true for Chen Wanying and Zhao Siyin, and Wen Jingting is naturally no exception.
When Wen Jingting knew that Concubine Wen was defeated and the entire City Bohou Mansion was convicted, he collapsed.
He shouted, "This can't be, this can't be!" My aunt will be fine, she will come to my rescue...... Our Wen family is about to change the lintel......"
Someone will come to save him, it has always been the hope in Wen Jingting's heart, he always thinks that one day the third prince will ascend the throne as the emperor, and his aunt will become the queen mother, and no one will dare to underestimate their Wen family at that time.
But now his hopes are shattered, not to mention that someone will come to save him, and even his family will not be able to protect themselves, which can be imagined as a blow to Wen Jingting.
That night, Wen Jingting tried to commit suicide by hitting the wall, but he didn't hit it hard enough, and he didn't die, after the incident was reported to Zhao Siyan, Zhao Siyan only said: "I know, save him, take care of him." ”
The people below took the order and left, and they really began to take good care of Wen Jingting, lest he die.
I don't know if this search scared Wen Jingting, he was depressed for a while, and he stopped looking for death and life.
After Zhao Siyan found out, he only evoked a sneer, and did not look at this person in his eyes.
Zhao Siyan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and Li Junze's side is also full of good news, and the best news is that Prince Yi finally found Li Junze, which also made Zhao Siyan breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu accompanied Zhao Siyan for a walk, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather became cooler, and Zhao Siyan liked to walk in the yard.
Liu looked at Zhao Siyan, and his expression was about to speak.
Zhao Siyan smiled and said, "Mother, what can't you and I say?" ”
Liu said: "Has Junze sent a letter in the past few days?" ”
Zhao Siyan's expression stiffened slightly, and then he shook his head: "Maybe the army is too busy, and now that the war is going on, it is not so convenient to exchange letters." ”
Liu sighed, "But didn't he come to deliver letters every once in a while?" And your belly is getting bigger and bigger, and you're about to give birth, did he say he wanted to come back? ”
Zhao Siyan frowned and was silent.
Liu said: "Yanyan, don't blame your mother for talking too much, this man, everything is naturally good when the honey is blended with oil, but now he is fighting outside, leaving you alone at home, and after a long time of separation, this feeling will fade, and you must send more letters to the past, or no longer send someone to the side, and your heart is also steady." ”
In fact, when the Liu family said this, it was really for Zhao Siyan's consideration, after all, looking at this situation, Li Junze is nine times out of ten as the emperor, can this man still be the same as before when he has a position of power? You must know that this is the Ninety-Five!
Although Li Junze also said when he asked to marry Zhao Siyan that he would not take a concubine in the future, who can say for sure? If he really wants to take a concubine in the future, who can stop him?
The Liu family also thought about Zhao Siyan, so they wanted Zhao Siyan to capture Li Junze's heart.
Zhao Siyan knew that she had good intentions, and just smiled when she heard this: "It's okay mother, I believe him." After a pause, her expression was faint: "I said before that if one day, he gets tired of me, I just leave, and it's not a big deal." ”
In her previous life, she persevered in such a difficult situation, and there is no reason why she can't hold on now. And Zhao Siyan has confidence in Li Junze, believing that he will not turn his back on the relationship between the two.
Liu sighed, patted her hand and said, "You just have to know it in your heart." ”
Although Zhao Siyan believed Li Junze, after listening to Liu's words, he felt a little uncomfortable, and the number of times Li Junze sent letters back recently was indeed less.
Zhao Siyan was also a little uncomfortable in her heart.
