Chapter 114: A long-awaited mending sword!
Fortunately, Xiao Tao is now a son who is full of everything, although he was gloomy after hearing the news, he stroked his lower abdomen and cheered up: "Since you don't enter the door, then you don't need me to handle the etiquette, it's nothing...... It's good if the husband is happy! β
These words were passed on to Qin Guogong by Mrs. Tao, who was very satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law's general knowledge and leniency, and specially rewarded Xiao Tao with some things, which was both a comfort and a reward - this matter in the Jiang family except for Qiu Yulan complaining to her husband in private, but it did not cause much turmoil, because it was followed by the funeral of Empress Dowager Ye. []
Empress Dowager Ye, who has lived in Ganli Palace for more than 30 years, regardless of the former dynasty or harem, among the younger people, until the news of her death came out, she was surprised that there were two queen mothers in the Da Rui Dynasty.
Therefore, everyone knew very well in their hearts that if Empress Jiang really respected this Empress Dowager Ye, she would not have been kept in the Ganli Palace for so many years, and only occasionally let the county lord of Duanrou go to see her. Now she is suddenly going to do her funeral, eight times out of ten. Ninth, there are other schemes.
This plot is not difficult to guess - the queen party united with Xue Chang, and with the help of the emperor's poisoning and the excavation of General Ruan's tomb, the queen mother's party was ruthlessly pitted. This eye bone is the time to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and there is still a big intention to hold the funeral of the Empress Dowager Ye, obviously because the funeral itself can be used as a battlefield to further attack the Empress Dowager's party.
Sure enough, on the first day of the condolences, Empress Jiang cried in front of the ministers Empress Dowager Ye: "...... You just said that Weisang is smart and filial, and he has the appearance of the first emperor, but I can be entrusted to Darui Sheji, and in a blink of an eye, he went like this! It's a pity that this child has not been officially canonized now, and he has no grandmother...... Whining...... Queen Mother, you ...... You are so ruthless! β
Empress Jiang's crying almost made the purpose clear, and the queen's party stepped forward to answer: "The queen mother, please mourn!" Since Empress Dowager Ye wanted His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to inherit the great treasure during her lifetime, and His Majesty also approved of the Seven Princes as the prince earlier, why not set up the Seven Princes as the crown prince in front of the spirit and announce it to the world, so that Empress Dowager Ye is in the spirit of the sky? β
One person started up, and everyone agreed-Xue Chang also said that in the past few days, several henchmen in the neutral party, such as Cheng Jin, followed to help.
originally thought that although most of the courtiers expressed their attitude, the Queen Mother's Party also wanted to oppose it. Who knew that after hearing this, Empress Dowager Gu, who was present in person, said unhurriedly: "This is a good point!" The mourning family also feels that Lao Qi's blessings are profound, and people can do it, and they are the material of the prince! β
The Queen Mother said this so that the whole hall was stunned for a long time, and even Xue Chang and Qin Guogong were stunned - after a long time, Empress Jiang asked uncertainly and tentatively: "That daughter-in-law sent someone to draft the decree?" β
"No need!" Empress Dowager Gu waved her hand, and calmly asked her confidant to hold out a letter, "The mourning family has been written!" β
"Queen mother, daughter-in-law wants to take a look first, is it okay?" Empress Dowager Gu's attitude changed so quickly, but it surprised and uneasy the dominant queen party, and Empress Jiang blurted out directly in a hurry!
Empress Dowager Gu glanced at her with a smile: "Why do you think that the mourning family is confused, and you don't even know how to draft the decree of the crown prince?" He also reminded, "The prince is the prince, and the decree of the prince is not stamped with a jade seal!" β
This was said to the entire queen party, except for a few people, the face was a little unnatural - Empress Dowager Gu has been regent on behalf of the emperor since he was a child, and of course the jade seal has always been in her hands. Later, Empress Jiang rose, but it was only the phoenix seal and the emperor's private seal.
In other words, although the decree promulgated by the queen and the decree promulgated by the queen mother are both called yi's decree, in fact, strictly speaking, the queen mother's side is orthodox.
However, the Jiang family is powerful, and the people below know that the queen's decree is often overstepped, and they don't dare to disobey it.
Now that Empress Dowager Gu said this, Empress Jiang was speechless for a while, but she was still worried that Empress Dowager Gu would pretend to agree, don't make a mess of Yi's decree, even if she can't succeed, it will destroy the atmosphere of her crying, so her eyes rolled: "Queen Mother has worked hard!" The establishment of the reserve is a major event, why not ask Xue Xiang to read out the decree? β
I believe that with Xue Chang's ability, if Yi's will is wrong, he will definitely be able to complete the field without preventing Empress Dowager Gu from achieving his goalβeven in full view!
Empress Dowager Gu glanced at her, sneered and agreed-so Yi handed over the decree to Xue Chang to read, Chu Weisang, the seventh prince who was only sixteen years old, crossed the six brothers above him, and received the training and inheritance in front of the Empress Dowager Ye's spirit, and became His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Da Rui Dynasty, and after the funeral of the Empress Dowager Ye, he could immediately move into the East Palace!
This Empress Dowager Gu's edict prepared in advance not only praised Chu Weisang and clearly made him the prince, but even proposed to follow the example of the previous dynasty and give him the right to form the East Palace team after Chu Weisang moved to the East Palace!
If the Queen's Party and Xue Chang didn't understand why Empress Dowager Gu was so abnormal today, after listening to this will, who would not have thought that Empress Dowager Gu would see that she had failed to cultivate two princes in a row, and her own side had fallen steadily, so she simply changed her strategy and openly dug up the corner!
You must know that Chu Weisang has been used by the queen party to make the position of the prince by the mouth of the emperor and the Empress Dowager Ye. In a short period of time, it is impossible for the queen party to support other princes! In this case, Empress Dowager Gu gave him the power to form his own team, and instigated him to take the opportunity to become self-reliant.
From the time Chu Weisang chose a different approach from his brothers and worked hard to show his intelligence, he knew that he was not a person who was willing to be mediocre to the end!
This kind of person gets a chance not to be a puppet and be a real human king, are you willing to let it go?
It's just that Chu Weisang doesn't have the ability to stand on his own at the moment, he wants to be self-reliant, of course, he can only balance between the Queen Mother Party and the Queen Party-just like Xue Chang did at the beginning-and he wants to balance, although the Queen Party supports him. bit, but it is impossible to get the benefits imagined in advance, and the Queen Mother Party has been given a chance to breathe and survive because of this!
"What an empty glove white wolf!" Empress Jiang was furious!
However, looking at the kind gaze of Empress Dowager Gu who was beside her as if there was no one around, the queen had to endure it, "At this time, I am afraid that I will vote for this old woman!" And let Wissan centrifuge with us...... It's just that the old woman also underestimated my Jiang family, you have already lost, and you still want to make a comeback with the help of Weisang?! When our Jiang family is dead! β
β¦β¦ Facts have proved that Empress Jiang's confidence is justified, and that night, Chu Weisang found an opportunity to find Empress Jiang and cry: "What Emperor Gu's grandmother did today is clearly deliberately to deal with her sons!" Ask the queen mother for help! β
Seeing the frightened and well-behaved concubine lying down the steps, Empress Jiang was in a better mood, but her face was still gloomy: "Her edict also reminded the palace!" Indeed, after the prince lives in the East Palace, he should have his own team! β
"What Emperor Gu's grandmother said is not right, the sons are young and ignorant, and now that they have a team, they are also the pillars of the country, it is better to serve the queen mother, and they will gain more!" When Chu Weisang heard this, he really became more and more frightened, and asked tremblingly, "I also beg the queen mother not to dislike her sons, and let her children do their filial piety!" β
Empress Jiang thought about it for a while, and felt that this concubine was already the crown prince in the end, and if he was going to be the emperor in the future, if he beat him too much, even if he didn't have any objections, he would have a gap, so she changed her gentle tone and called him up, and said with a smile: "Don't say that, this palace is a woman, and the major affairs of this country can't teach you much in the end." The matter of the team was given to you by Queen Gu in public, how could you not want it? β
Chu Weisang heard that the queen did ask him to get a team, and he did not hesitate to ask at the moment: "Everything depends on the queen mother, and the queen mother is also in charge of the affairs of the team!" β
Seeing that he gave the power given by the Empress Dowager Gu so neatly with both hands, Empress Jiang's mood was finally completely better, and she asked with a smile: "Since it is your team, you can't let the palace pick all of them, you have to say a few people yourself, right?" β
"Erchen thinks that Jiang Hanlin, who helped Erchen prepare the ceremony of the princess's descent before, is very good, but Jiang Hanlin is in the Hanlin Courtyard, I don't know if he will ......?" Chu Weisang groaned slightly, and then said a person.
Empress Jiang smiled and was noncommittal: "Is there anyone else?" β
"Erchen is dull, and he is only familiar with Jiang Hanlin." Chu Weisang felt that the atmosphere in the hall had now completely relaxed, so he smiled shyly and said, "Others, Erchen really can't say it. β
What he meant by this was obviously to show that he was very well-behaved - except for Jiang Yashuang, who Empress Jiang personally pointed out to him as an assistant before, he didn't have any friends and henchmen or anything like that!
Empress Jiang smiled: "The palace knows, you go down, your grandmother Ye Huang has to do the next two days, you pay attention to your body...... Wait until your grandmother and grandfather are buried together, and then talk about this! β
"Yes!" Chu Weisang obeyed, and gave another salute to retire.
Out of the Beique Palace, he looked at the snow outside the hall, and only then did he dare to raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his head.
A gust of north wind blew, and Chu Weisang couldn't help but shiver - just a few steps away, there was still snow on the branches of the trees growing in the snow, but there was a faint greenery in the light of the corridor under the lamplight.
Although the ice and snow have not disappeared...... But it's already spring.
It won't be long before the wind and snow in front of you will fade away.
The spring of all things awakening and blooming flowers has quietly arrived......
Chu Weisang's gaze gently swept over the shoots on the branches, but he didn't say anything, just tightened his cloak and calmly disappeared between the towering palaces.
It was also this night, thousands of miles away, in Shazhou City.
Mr. Leshan leaned on the city wall and looked indifferently at the sky-high fire at the end of his line of sight - at such a distance, the firelight illuminated almost half of the sky, even if there was no lighting at the head of the city, but his faces and the faces of several people behind him were also clearly illuminated.
The tidal wave of shouting and killing shook the sand of the city even louder!
Shazhou City behind him, if it weren't for the fact that there were teams of armor soldiers roaming the streets and alleys and enforcing a curfew, they would definitely be shocked by such a big movement.
The group ignored the commotion and uneasiness behind them, and looked silently at the Zhenxi Army camp in the distance.
In the middle of the night, the flames were still shining and the shouts were still loud, but Mr. Leshan keenly heard some changes from them, which made his calm and unwavering face surge with a touch of excitement!
Soon, from the direction of the barracks, several horses galloped out and rushed towards the city of Shazhou!
"Xiban attacked the handsome tent at night, and the general of Zhenxi was hit by a stray arrow, and he was captured !! by mistake" The sound of horses' hooves as dense as drums came from far to near, and the people in the city could hear them holding their breath and not daring to relax in the slightest!
It wasn't until the messenger shouted the news that the trip was to be delivered, and the people at the head of the city were instantly overjoyed!
As cold as Mr. Leshan, he couldn't hold it back, raised his arm and grabbed it fiercely at the void, paused for a while before suppressing his excitement, and asked sharply towards the city: "Xiban now?" β
"The two generals, Han and Zhao, arrived in time and expelled Xiban from the camp - it's just that it is difficult to find the general in the dark night, I'm afraid it will ......"
It's good if you can't find it, and it's normal if you can't find it!
The son and the thief have a blood feud for killing their father, as well as the hatred of those children of the Ruan family...... How could you be satisfied with retaliating to such a level of revenge for a thief?! Mr. Leshan sneered in his heart, and secretly thought: "If Xiban catches the thief, he will definitely not hand it over to Gongzi, it should be Gongzi who sent someone to move under the slogan of Xiban...... Hey! He cleared his throat and ordered, "Go back first!" After dawn, I'll leave the city immediately! β
At this time, how could he not go over to help Gongzi mend the knife? The knife he made up for was the most ruthless and painful! ()
