Chapter 500: Took control of the Ming Dynasty
Princess Ling hid her whereabouts all the way, and when she approached the capital, she asked her subordinates to modify and returned home in a dignified manner as the eldest lady of the Bai family.
The Bai family had different expressions, but because the emperor came back in person, he didn't even return to the palace and came directly to the Bai family, everyone was sincerely afraid, how dare they have any complaints.
"You Aiqing don't have to be polite, I have already agreed with Xue Qing on a wedding date, everyone should be simple." Xiao Jin remembered what Princess Ling told him and said it word for word.
The Bai family's doubts were dispelled, and they immediately greeted the holy driver happily. In the past, the clansmen attached great importance to Princess Ling, and they were quite unimpressed in private, but this time everyone waited carefully, and the Bai family had a noble lady, of course, it was gratifying, and the days of being under the shadow of the saint would be longer in the future. The Bai family is destined to be pampered.
Some rejoice, others grieve, and even thunder. The Queen Mother was rarely angry, but she spoke sharply to a group of ministers: "The mourning family asked you to pay close attention to the movements, why didn't the emperor know when he returned to Kyoto?" As a result, not only did he come back, but he was also with the eldest lady of the Bai family? ”
The dominance of one family is a taboo of imperial power, and the queen mother has long been afraid of the monstrous power of the Bai family, so she is angry.
The ministers were resigned and miserable, and they only learned the news. But the Holy Ninety-Five, who can have a way to trap him from going or staying?
However, in the palace, because Xiao Jin did not return for a long time, the queen mother controlled the government, and the ministers obeyed her, and asked the imperial forest army to go to the Bai family to invite the saint back to the palace that afternoon. As a result, not only was he personally reprimanded by the emperor, but even the queen mother was secretly imprisoned.
It is said that it is grounded, but in fact it is nothing more than imprisonment. The Queen Mother slept all night, and when she saw the first visitor the next day, she lost her prestige, glared at the visitor and scolded angrily: "Princess Ling, the mourning family still underestimated you!" I thought you were just a very ambitious girl, but I didn't expect you to be in the future! ”
"Queen Mother, you still have to pay attention to your body, during this time, the government was controlled by you, and the emperor didn't say anything, you see that he is back, so let's hand it over honestly." Princess Ling stood behind the two guards and said with a smile.
"Presumptuous! The mourners won't let you succeed! "Even if the Queen Mother has the heart to get involved in the government, it is also for the world of the Xiao family, and when the emperor comes back, she will definitely return to power. In her eyes, Princess Ling is not even a daughter-in-law, how dare she let such a man-made disaster go beyond the program!
Princess Ling narrowed her eyes, smiled coldly, threw down a sentence and left, "Then the Queen Mother might as well wait and see." ”
Although the news that the queen mother was imprisoned and vomited blood was concealed, there was still a lot of uproar about the eldest lady of the Bai family and the emperor.
After Anya found out, she wanted to visit the palace as soon as possible, even if the Queen Mother entered the cold palace, she didn't necessarily have to stop the visitor.
She obviously wanted to visit the Queen Mother, but she actually wanted to help her friend send Ketian to explore the truth. Her identity is special, presumably the palace gate guards will not stop her. But she was ready, and before the door of the house was out, the maid hurried in, and before she could report to her, a low, familiar voice rang out.
"Anya, this matter must not be rushed." Fang Xiang has been paying attention to Anya's movements in the past two days because he is worried about changes in the court, and he is even more worried that once there is a change in the palace, she will be hurt, so he is more careful, and he really expected it to be right.
Anya looked at him puzzled, "Do I want to watch Princess Ling stay in the palace?" What happened to the emperor? He didn't even care about sending it for the sake of this demon girl. ”
The princess, who has always been gentle and lovely, suddenly changed her temperament, and it was related to the two most powerful people in the palace, Fang Xiang couldn't explain to her in detail, but he also glanced at the maids around him, and warned: "Take care of your mouth, whoever says more, prepare to sacrifice the general's sword." ”
He led people back to the inner room, dressed in armor, and whispered: "Let's go out of the city immediately, and today's trip will not be seen by anyone who cares." ”
"Is it really that serious? Could it be that Princess Ling would be so bold to directly install eyeliner on my house? "Anya didn't think Princess Ling would do that.
But Fang Xiang didn't continue to explain, but personally helped her pack her luggage, without pretending to be a person, while he went out to work, he deliberately got a carriage, and his elite soldiers guarded all the way, only gave the defenders a glance at the waist card, and was released.
There were two people sitting in the carriage. Anya still felt that Fang Xiang was too careful, but when she heard the news from the palace in the evening, she didn't have any doubts.
"The Prime Minister has returned to his hometown." An adjutant general personally brought back the news, and the indignant accusation, "It sounds good, but in fact, he has not been dismissed." The Lord sent him to work hard and worked hard for the government, but he ended up like this. Our general didn't leave because he was worried about the movement of the capital, otherwise such a confused saint would have a fart to follow him! ”
The deputy general is an old man, the general's words and deeds are more straightforward, and he used to follow other generals to fight the world, and made great achievements, but later retired from the battlefield due to injuries and continued to follow Fang Xiang.
The situation he said was exactly what Fang Xiang was worried about. However, Anya and Fang Xiang have a deep relationship, and this kind of affection also let the old subordinates tell them one by one.
"Thank you for your hard work, the general go and rest, I'll let the maid make tea." Anya began to worry about Fang Xiang's situation, and she was also a little afraid, but fortunately she did not enter the palace to advise.
As for the other people who are dissatisfied with Princess Ling, they are all dismissed and investigated. The two historians spoke up, thinking that she had violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty by becoming a concubine directly without a document and without worshipping her ancestors, and it was even more unreasonable to stay in the queen's middle palace. However, they did not wait to be imprisoned for their crimes, and were directly given to die.
Ji Chenggui was the prime minister, but after just a tactful admonition, he was taken away from his black gauze hat, and the other ministers were sad, or remained neutral, or automatically asked for demotion, and no one seemed to dare to ask.
Xiao Jin was firmly controlled by Princess Ling, and the entire Ming Dynasty was almost covered by her single-handedly, looking at the world, except for the Bai Jiajun, no one seemed to dare to compete.
"Your Majesty, is it better to prepare a holy decree for the concubines to take over the Bai family's army? In this way, the world can be you and mine, don't you say? "Princess Ling is in the posture of a noble concubine, but she is wearing a queen's phoenix robe that transcends her identity, and she faintly has the demeanor of a mother.
Xiao Jin was like a marionette, Princess Ling said a sentence and he repeated it, and after a long time, he said without emotion: "Draft the will, immediately take back the military power." ”
Princess Ling personally studied the ink, waved on the holy decree of Ming Huang, and the fate of the Bai family army was decided in an instant, she covered the jade seal of the country, and called to the chamberlain with a wave of her sleeve robe: "Pass the order, and immediately drive to the Bai family army station!" ”
The holy car came, but the station was silent, and Princess Ling sat gracefully in the carriage, unconsciously opened the curtain and looked outside, but was startled.
