Chapter 179: Follow-up

A farce has come to an end, but the undercurrent it brings has just begun, whether it is inside the palace or outside the palace, although it is calm on the surface, but secretly it has already become a surging trend.

By the time Shao Shan and the Nihuang County Lord stepped out of the palace gate, Yan Yujin, Xiao Jingrui, Mu Qing, Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan, the king of Jing, had already been waiting for a long time.

At that time, although Mei Changsu reminded the Nihuang County Lord, but he was not sure who was going to attack the Nihuang County Lord, until he was on the way back, Yan Yujin inadvertently said a sentence, which made him wake up like a dream, fortunately, Shao Shan followed the Nihuang County Lord's side, however, Mei Changsu still made some arrangements, King Jing, Mu Qing, and Meng Zhi were all prepared, expecting that once the Nihuang County Lord had an accident, he would not hesitate to rush into Zhaoren Palace to rob people, but fortunately, everything was not out of control.

After the news in Zhaoren Palace came out one after another, everyone only knew the general situation of the matter, and there were more puzzles.

When everyone converged and learned the specific course of the matter from the mouth of the Nihuang County Lord, everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, after all, the cause of Sima Lei's death was too weird, not only was he burned in flames for no reason, but the most important thing was that this flame could not be extinguished, and anyone who touched it would burn himself, it was simply not like a flame in the world.

"You say, it can't really be a ghost fire that burned Sima Lei!" Yan Yujin said with some horror, in fact, the courage of the eldest prince is really not very big.

"Probably not!" Xiao Jingrui said with some hesitation, and the common sense of life for more than 20 years made him subconsciously deny this statement.

"Then why is it so weird, not only can't it be extinguished, but it burns at the slightest contact!" Yan Yujin asked.

Everyone was silent, and even the well-informed Mei Changsu could not answer this question.

"Okay, it's all over, and the most important thing is that Nihuang is safe and sound!" Shao Shan didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he directly changed the topic, and then looked around with his fists clenched, "Thank you again for your kindness!" ”

"Nihuang has also thanked everyone!" The Nihuang County Lord also hugged his fists and thanked him.

King Jing and the others resigned again and again, but Yan Yujin smiled thiefly: "I found that Brother Shao and Sister Nihuang are becoming more and more like a couple. ”

In the end, the Nihuang county lord is just a woman, when Shao Shan subtly poured all kinds of thoughts into her in a domineering form, she was slowly affected, until she finally accepted it all, and this was gradually formed in a series of changes in the son-in-law selection conference, in the final analysis, it is also a habit, Shao Shan imperceptibly, let the Nihuang county lord accept his own existence, accept the relationship between each other.

Of course, Shao Shan knew that there was still a thorn in the heart of the Nihuang County Lord, and a hurdle had not been crossed, but this was not a thing, when Nihuang and Lin Shu got along, they were only fourteen or fifteen years old, even if the ancient women were precocious, they could know what love was at that time.

Moreover, it has been thirteen years since the old case of Chiyan back then, and over the years, the Nihuang County Lord has led the southern border through hardships, and Lin Shu has become a kind of sustenance for her in a difficult situation, this is a complicated feeling, but I am afraid that Nihuang himself can't tell whether this is love or family affection.

The most important thing is that Mei Changsu knows that his time is short, and he has never thought of recognizing the Nihuang County Lord from beginning to end, because he has only one mission to come back this time, that is, to take revenge and clear his grievances, and he can't take care of the rest, if the Nihuang County Lord can find a good home, I believe it is also what he is willing to see, and the situation between Shaoshan and the Nihuang County Lord today is not without the result of his promotion behind his back.

Shao Shan and the Nihuang County Lord glanced at each other and did not speak.

Xiao Jingyan, the king of Jing on the side, wanted to say something, but finally swallowed back, the Nihuang County Lord was his friend and the person he respected, he always thought that the Nihuang County Lord and Lin Shu were a couple, if Lin Shu was still there, he would naturally strongly oppose the relationship between Shao Shan and the Nihuang County Lord, but now that things are wrong, he has nothing to say.

Shao Shan naturally saw Xiao Jingyan's movements in his eyes, and had a premonition in his heart, but he was afraid that there would be some waves in the future, if this King Jing wanted to intervene sideways and meddle in his affairs, Shao Shan would not be polite to him, whether it was an enemy or a friend depends on this King Jing's own choice.

After chatting for a while, everyone went home, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the affairs in the palace, because what would happen next was inevitably an open and secret battle between King Yu and the crown prince, and everyone did not want to get involved.

Above the Liang court, after years of business development, coupled with the checks and balances deliberately created by Emperor Liang, the crown prince and King Yu are completely in a situation of equal strength.

Among the six departments of the imperial court, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry are subordinates of King Yu, and the Ministry of Households, Officials, and Soldiers are subordinates of the prince, while in the army, Qingguo Gong supports King Yu, and Ning Guohou Xie Yu supports the prince.

And the background of these two princes in the palace is also indistinguishable, the prince's biological mother Yue Guifei is quite favored by Emperor Liang, and the adoptive mother of King Yu is the queen of the lord of the harem, the two are completely evenly matched, it is difficult to distinguish between them, it is no wonder that these two princes have been fighting for so many years, and no one can help anyone.

However, just today, Shao Shan personally broke this balance, the more the concubine planted such a big heel, and the concubine was demoted to a concubine, at least in a short period of time, she could not come out to make waves, which was equivalent to suppressing the prince's power in the palace, and the prince was also implicated, although the emperor did not punish him, but he could only shrink recently, and the king of Yu steadily suppressed the prince and took the lead.

Shao Shan knew even more that this was just a beginning, since the day Mei Changsu stepped into Jinling, it was destined that the level of Jinling could not be quiet.

In the next few days, many powerful and important ministers in the court finally inquired about the events in the palace from all aspects, and the prince and the prince were a little lacking in confidence after this setback, and they converged a lot, but the king of honor was quite excited, and it was rare to seize such an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, step by step, and step up to reap the benefits.

However, the thing that made King Yu the most happy was that after this incident, the prince completely offended Shao Shan and the Nihuang County Lord, and there was no longer any possibility of solicitation, which was tantamount to the prince personally pushing these two powerful factions to his side.

At this point, King Yu is already invincible, even if he can't completely recruit the north and south borders under his command, but there is no problem in forming allies.

Many powerful people in Daliang also thought about it, but they were afraid that after this incident, even if the Jingbian Marquis Mansion and the Yunnan Muwang Mansion seemed to be neutral, they were afraid that they would inevitably be biased towards the side of the Yuwang Party, and this kind of implied benefit was the greatest wealth. 21010
