Chapter 325: He's Dead
(The second question, do you still have pink in your hands?) 555~)
The news reported by Qiu Ge in a low voice was about the five princes' official rule. The two grasshoppers who went to Zunzhou in Guannei to monitor Shangguan Changzhi have returned to Jingzhao this morning, and their report is: King Mourning is in Zunzhou, and he has passed away from a serious illness!
This news, they had already sent it to Xining Dao, but they didn't expect Shen Ning to rush back to Jingzhao, and it was at this time that Qiu Ge learned the news.
In the forty years of Changtai, Shangguan Changzhi was named the king of mourning, and took Zunzhou in Guannei as a fief. After careful calculation, it is only two years before he was crowned king. Although when he left Jingzhao, Shen Ning could see from his withered face that he didn't have many years to live, but he didn't expect that in just two years, he wouldn't be able to survive!
When he heard the news, Shen Ning was either sad or happy, and only felt deeply dazed.
This person, this person who made her bitter hatred in her previous life and jealous in this life, died like this! Death is the ultimate annihilation, and there is no possibility of resurrection. It was only at this time that Shen Ning was completely sure: he really lost!
The body is dead, and there is no Shangguan Changzhi in the world anymore, and some may just be a few dry bones and a tombstone.
These, in Shen Ning's view, have no meaning at all.
After experiencing the past and present lives, Shen Ning has long known that if he loses completely, he will lose his life! Keeping one's life is the premise of doing everything, and only under this premise can all things have a chance to happen, whether it is revenge or living a glorious life, only by surviving can it be possible.
This is what Shen Ning knows in his heart, and it is also what Kou Se of Xining Dao insists on. After suffering such humiliation, after her hands were abolished, Kou Se still survived tenaciously, and even felt that the insults imposed on her were casually touched. It's going to be shaken off.
The sky can be replenished, the sea can be filled, and the South Mountain can be moved. Such an unthinkable thing as her rebirth has already appeared, so what else can't be? Anything is possible only if you are alive.
At this moment, Shen Ning knew that it was impossible for Shangguan Changzhi to do anything. Despite his ambitions, he had such plans, when he died. Ambition and planning. There is no body to support it. Then there would be nothing.
What defeated him? Is it yourself? Is it the Shen family? Or Changtai Emperor? It's not clear.
After being dazed, Shen Ning slowly sobered up. Since Shangguan Changzhi left Jingzhao last year, he has already left the Jingzhao Dynasty, which is equivalent to leaving the political core of Dayong. His death or life has little impact on the trajectory of this court, presumably when the news of his death comes out, it will not cause much turmoil in the court.
Only except for himself, a person with the entanglement of his past life, would he think about his death in every way. The entanglement and hatred in his previous life, Shen Ning wanted to forget, but he couldn't forget it.
"Mourning Princess, what's wrong?" After sobering up. Shen Ning remembered someone.
Her attention to Shangguan Changzhi, in addition to the hatred of rebirth in her previous life, the only one who is still implicated in this life may be her best friend back then, Zheng Shaoyi, the youngest daughter of the former Hubu Shangshu. Mourning Princess Zheng.
"After mourning the king, although the princess was grief-stricken, she was thinking about the little princess, but she came back to her senses from depression. The coffin of the King of Mourning is escorted by the long history of the Mourning Palace, and it will soon be the end of Jingzhao. The mourning princess and the little princess also followed. Qiu Ge brought the news of the grasshopper one by one.
Qiu Ge has been by Shen Ning's side for so many years and has experienced so many things with her, and of course Qiu Ge knows Shen Ning's complicated feelings for the Five Princes' Mansion.
Now, the five princes that the girl hated were already lying in the coffin, and the girl's former friend would also return to Jingzhao. Girl, will you see the princess?
"It's good to go back to Jingzhao to place the coffin. In the end, Jingzhao was a place she had always been familiar with. It's just that the emperor is disgusted with the mourning king, and the Zheng family has already moved out, you let the people below pay attention to it, if the mourning princess is in a difficult situation, you might as well help. It's just that it's better not to let her know. Shen Ning thought about it and said.
Even if you are a princess, Zheng Shaoyi will be inferior to ordinary official women in today's situation. After she returned to Jingzhao, she had no income except for the young eunuch who had a fixed amount of money every month. Shangguan Changzhi is dead, and she and the little county lord, orphans and widows, will have a hard time.
Thinking of the innocent and straightforward little girl back then, Shen Ning couldn't tell what kind of mind he had. She thought about secretly helping Zheng Shaoyi, was it for the friendship that was not too deep back then? Or is it for something else? Shen Ning didn't know, she only knew that over the years, the only concrete friendship that could be felt was from Zheng Shaoyi.
Except for Chen Wanrou, Gong Xinci, Zheng Shaoyi and other girls in the early years, Shen Ning almost never had any contact with other Jingzhao girls. Although the book among the Qiu singers records the situation of the daughters of Jingzhao's families, Shen Ning really has very little contact.
This is because Shen Ning's mind has never been in the boudoir, and she basically refuses the flower and wine banquets held by the girls in the boudoir, because everyone knows that the prince Zhan Shi has the eldest granddaughter Shen Ning, but many little girls have never seen her. Even the current crown princess Zuo has only seen Shen Ning a few times.
Except for the younger sisters and in-laws of the Shen family, Shen Ning couldn't remember which girl he had a good relationship with. This point is also a failure to think about, if it weren't for the fact that Shangguan Changzhi is now dead and Zheng Shaoyi is about to return to Jingzhao, Shen Ning would not have found out that he was lacking in this regard.
If she has gains, she has lost, what she does is different from that of ordinary boudoir girls, and what she naturally experiences is also different. Each girl has a different creation, and now it is impossible to say who gains and who loses.
"Let Qiu Wu tell the old lady the news. The matter of mourning the king will soon be able to come out. Shen Ning instructed Qiu Ge like this. Grandfather also knew about Shangguan Changzhi's previous life, and told his grandfather the news to make him feel relieved.
When Shen Huashan heard Qiu Wu's report, it was really as expected by Shen Ning, and he was relieved. As the patriarch of the clan, he knew from his granddaughter Shen Ning that the Shen family was destroyed at the hands of the five princes in the previous life, although in this life, things have changed dramatically. But Shen Huashan was always worried about the existence of the five princes.
Now, knowing the news, Shen Huashan finally feels a little relieved in this eventful autumn. The emperor was seriously ill again, and the atmosphere in the Jingzhao court was extremely tense. Shen Huashan, a courtier of the prison state, naturally felt a much deeper undercurrent.
In the Zichen Palace, Emperor Changtai was sober, although he was in a strong spirit, but his corrupt complexion still made Zhang Sheng, the leader of the inner chamberlain, feel shocked. He thought of the news that was about to be reported, and he only hoped that the emperor would be happy when he heard the news, and maybe his condition would improve.
As the head of the inner chamberlain, Zhang Sheng clearly knew that once the emperor collapsed, it would be time for him to resign. He has been glorious in front of the emperor for most of his life, and there are many disciples and grandchildren, even if he retires, it will not be difficult in the future, but thinking that day may come soon, Zhang Sheng's heart is also very heavy.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Zunzhou. Mourning the King...... It's up. Zhang Sheng told the news, according to his understanding, according to the emperor's hatred of the mourning king, this, for the emperor, will be good news.
"Oh? …… Well, good, good! Sure enough, hearing the news, Emperor Changtai's cloudy eyes flashed with a hint of brightness. There was also a strange light on his decadent face, which was a kind of contentment, and it was also a kind of complete relaxation.
Just like Shen Ning thought, Shangguan Changzhi had long been abandoned by Emperor Changtai, and now the titular emperor actually went to the bottom one step ahead of him, which really made Emperor Changtai happy.
Since Emperor Changtai broke the adultery between Concubine Li and Li Sinian in Chunxi Palace, he has doubts about Shangguan Changzhi's bloodline, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that Shangguan Changzhi is not worthy of himself, but in order to cover up the mouths of Youyou, he can't immediately execute Shangguan Changzhi, but just imprisons him in the Five Princes' Mansion.
After imprisoning Shangguan Changzhi, Emperor Changtai felt a little relieved. Because he plans not to let this son out in the future, he will let him die in the Five Princes' Mansion. But later, the envoy of Xiyan brought it, and it turned out that Shangguan Changzhi was very good, and Zhang Sheng found out that the envoy of Xiyan and the Five Princes' Mansion were secretly colluding, which made Emperor Changtai furious, and once again had murderous intent towards Shangguan Changzhi!
That's why he ordered Zhang Sheng to let people poison Shangguan Changzhi, but he sent a imperial doctor to treat him, and everything he did was just to eliminate the suspicion of the court ministers about Shangguan Changzhi's life experience, and even he gave Shangguan Changzhi the title of king, but also to prove to the courtiers: This is my bloodline, and I treat him equally.
In fact, Emperor Changtai had long known from Zhang Sheng that Shangguan Changzhi had been poisoned, and his heart and intestines had already been corroded and hollowed out, and no matter how he took care of himself, he couldn't survive for two years, so Emperor Changtai let him go to Zunzhou with confidence.
Sure enough, in less than two years, this son of evil died! Thinking of this, Emperor Changtai felt relaxed, the heaviness that pressed on his body before seemed to be much less, and he felt that his breath was panting, and it was not so difficult.
However, the things that make Changtai Emperor happy are not only this!
Immediately, the East Palace also came with the good news that the crown princess was pregnant! This time, Emperor Changtai's whole person was even more excited, and even his voice was much higher.
"Quick...... Zhang Sheng, pass on my will, and order Shang Pharmacy to send Sun Boyang to give the crown princess a baby! I want to reward the crown princess heavily, and the young palace supervisor will send the treasure catalogue to the East Palace, and if it is not the weight of the country, I can let the crown princess choose any ......"
Emperor Changtai couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, with this great news, he felt that the whole person was better.
ps:
Two more! Won't you be surprised? I think that Shangguan Changzhi's role is enough, it's time to end, hehe. Keep asking for pink tickets!
