The dazed Liu Rong finally compromised.

The reason for his compromise was simple - the eldest prince promised to make him king in the future.

This alone was not enough to make him give up interceding for the Zheng family, but Qiu Baoniang came out from behind the screen and said with a slight smile: "Last time, the maid told General Liu that if he wanted Miss Duanmu Ba to have no worries for a lifetime, in fact, the general could marry her himself, so that he would not be afraid of Miss Duanmu Ba's entrustment." The so-called Shishu is not married, since the general is not a scholar, why not say that Miss Duanmu Ba gave up her Shi clan identity and became a Shuren? In that case, isn't it okay? ”

At that time, Liu Rong disagreed: "The difference between the scholars is like mud, although I don't believe in this sentence, but in fact, the identity of the scholars is indeed different from the Shu family...... I have no mercy on her, how dare I make such a request? Besides, why did she promise me? I'm from such a background, and I ...... in front of her."

"Huh!" Qiu Baoniang just smiled meaningfully at that time, but she didn't want to wait for him here.

In front of the queen and the eldest prince, Qiu Baoniang said bluntly: "If you don't become the king, even if Miss Duanmu Ba is willing to give up her status as a scholar to marry you, the Duanmu family will not agree." With the current situation of the Duanmu family, expelling a woman in exchange for a queen who is dedicated to the Duanmu family, may not be unwilling to agree! You know, you are sincere to Miss Duanmuba, how can you not go to the Duanmu family? In the future, you and the heirs of Miss Eight will be kings from generation to generation, and the blood of the Duanmu family will flow from there...... Of course, after a long time, it may not be as close as ever, but at least these two or three generations are enough to support the Duanmu family sect to tide over the difficulties, and this is the time when the Duanmu family is most lacking in help now! ”

"If you are worried that after you become the king, Miss Duanmu Ba is unwilling to marry you, this maid can help you go to Miss Duanmu Ba first." Qiu Baoniang smiled lightly and said, "I promise, you have such a deep affection for Miss Duanmu Ba, it is impossible for Miss Ba not to be moved by you!" ”

Liu Rong didn't know whether to cry or laugh in his heart - could Duanmu Xinmiao not agree? She rushed to the army regardless of her life and honor, and she had the heart of a doctor and patriotism, but the most important thing was for her nephew and eldest sister! Even if Duanmu Wuwu, who is in trouble now, is not among the candidates who Duanmu Xinmiao desperately wants to protect and support, but, Duanmu Weimiao and Shen Sui, now in addition to Duanmu's family, where else can they rely on? !

So Duanmu Xinmiao will definitely agree.

"I don't want you to go, I'll ask myself." In the end, Liu Rong could only say this sentence, "Lord's edict...... Obey! But Miss Duanmu Ba was there, and the minister wanted to ask herself. ”

He truly loved and even respected the concubine, even to the point of just begging her to live well, preferring to watch silently from afar. How could she bear to wronged her for the sake of her family and gave up her status as a scholar to marry herself?

"Since the general said so, how dare the servant overstep?" Qiu Baoniang glanced back at the queen, and the queen breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly - with her estimate of Liu Rong's temper, even if the edict was carried out despite Liu Rong's opposition, Liu Rong would not do anything to her and the eldest prince, but now Liu Rong has military power...... The queen is still a little jealous in the end.

Being able to exchange his weakness for his compromise, the queen was very satisfied: "Rong'er, don't think about it too much, in fact, I originally heard Aunt Qiu say your mind, and I and Zhiqi also want to fulfill you." Even if Miss Duanmu Ba gives up her identity as a scholar, as long as Dayong is here, she and her descendants will always be the royal family of the kingdom, and they may not be worse than the scholars! ”

He also said, "Miss Duanmu Ba cares most about her eldest sister and nephew, those two are the king and queen mother of the former Wei Dynasty, of course, it is impossible for this dynasty to seal their status as high, but it is not a big deal to seal a title that is not tight, so that they don't have to look at the face of the Duanmu family in the future." ”

Liu Rong smiled bitterly: "Minister...... Xie Niangniang. ”

What else can he say now?

Compared with the Zheng family, the queen is very good to him, and she is kind just by looking at the title.

Of course, this is also the reason why he played an indispensable role in the enthronement of the great prince......

The question is, if he doesn't agree, what's the point of making a fuss?

The queen watched him grow up, so she trusted him, and he was watched by the queen grow up, so why didn't he have affection for the queen?

really forced the queen and the eldest prince to a dead end, and he may not be able to be ruthless. Since the eldest prince promised to protect the rest of the Zheng family...... It also gave him hope to achieve his wish...... If you don't compromise, you're making a mistake.

After Liu Rong compromised, this matter was decided.

Of course, the Zheng family was in an uproar about this result.

The Liu family finally figured it out. Evil spirit, on the day when the Zheng family's family members were exiled from the capital, Mrs. Zhou specially took a car to see it, and the crying back and forth shook the downtown area, and everyone who heard it was sad.

But, no matter how sorry they are, those two children will never come back after all.

Liu Ruowo, who arrived in the imperial capital a few days later, turned pale when he learned of such a result. He staggered into the house, and was greeted by the indifferent face of his wife, who had always been smiling: "In the original Zhuangzi, you can go and see for yourself." ”

"What?" Liu Ruowo was stunned.

"The body of your sister, Liu Ruoye, I sent someone to quietly dig it out of the mass grave, I know that your sister and brother are deeply affectionate! Although she killed your two sons, I don't think you want her to be abandoned in the wilderness and eaten by wild dogs, do you? Mrs. Zhou's nervous smile "I've got it back for you, how beautiful and beautiful the funeral you like!" Would you like to give my son back to me?! Give me back, okay, okay!! ”

It was the night when the Yasukuni Mansion was in a lot of noise, and the next day the servant revealed the news that the Yasukuni Duke and his wife could not bear the pain of losing their son and could not sleep all night -- the response of the palace was that they were rewarded with another batch of money.

No matter how Mrs. Zhou messed with her husband in private, for most people, the matter between the Liu and Zheng families ended here.

The government and the opposition are now more concerned about another matter: Emperor Yong's physical condition, as well as the question of the prince.

The problem with the latter is not the choice, for the nascent Dayong regime, if the second prince inherits the throne at that age, it is simply a signboard with "come to usurp the throne, come and usurp the throne" on his face.

So the eldest prince who is over the age of bundling his hair is the only choice - the problem is that the eldest prince really has no prestige, and among the upstarts who watched him grow up, the private evaluation of this prince is honest.

The scholars said something better: honest and quiet.

The scholars are very in favor of the eldest prince's accession to the throne, and Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changfeng have been used since the eldest prince supervised the country, and they judged that this master had no estrangement from the scholars, and Ming Peitang and Ruiyutang had raised him, this return was so obvious, and it also made the scholars feel that they supported him to ascend the throne, as long as they were sincere enough, the bright future was not invisible.

As for how sincere it is, the family with hundreds of years of experience can always find a way to coax the emperor.

In contrast, now the upstart is hesitant, and the fate of the Zheng family is a reason.

Because this prince is not like the three elder brothers above him, who has been following Wen Yanzi to fight, many upstarts get along with the eldest prince, in fact, before Wen Yanzi got up.

At that time, how old was the eldest prince? How much can he remember? The time when he can remember the most is when the Shen family and the Wei family took turns.

Now that he has only come to power, and he has not officially ascended the throne, the tendency is so obvious - what are the upstarts?

"Alas, I didn't expect the throne to fall on the eldest prince! Let the Shen family and the Wei family pick up a big bargain! "Some people are so annoyed that they choke their wrists.

"What's the point of saying that now? Let's get serious! ”

"I want to go back to the imperial capital! Now that we are not in the imperial capital, it is difficult to generalize the news reported by the people below! The upstarts in the southwest urgently discussed: "The southwest must hurry!" ”

"Why don't we go back first?"

"What are you kidding? What if the big prince still needs to open the knife?! ”

"The edict is not necessarily issued by the eldest prince......"

"If it really comes from above, it is even more terrifying - who knows if His Majesty will be there...... Before, the next time you will be ruthless, so that the eldest prince can show grace after he ascends the throne?! Are you willing to fall together like this, and even the family will be tossed and turned, and in the rest of your life, people will feel that you owe the eldest prince? ”

“…… At the moment, there is no other way, which is to sweep the southwest as soon as possible and return to the imperial capital! Don't let the Shen family and the Wei family completely bewitch the eldest prince! Don't let us work here to go back to just a prince, but Shen Wei relied on the past to raise the eldest prince for a few days, but he got a prince! The eldest prince is so young, he doesn't know how heavy it is, and there are also people who are indiscriminately crowned kings! ”

"That's right! From now on, don't take it captive yet! Find out the four evils first, at least the remnants on the bright side, all of them must be eradicated! This is a real credit - take it back to the court, even if His Majesty wants to create an opportunity for the eldest prince to show grace, there is no reason to move us! ”

"That's all it takes, !! fast"

The scholars in the southwest know a little more, but it is limited to a few people - Liu Xixun and Su Yuwu are among them.

So the two of them met in private: "What do you think?" ”

"Go back as soon as possible, of course."

"Be careful of Liu Ruowo."

"It's okay, Yao Ye has already sent me a letter, and he will take care of it over there. You can't eat meat, but it's okay to drink soup. ”

"The Shi clan has been pacified for the time being, should the upstart also pay attention there?"

"Now that the eldest prince is clearly going to reuse Shen Wei, I think the upstarts are even more anxious - Yaoye is hoping that the war in the southwest will end soon. After the army returned to the court, it was good to announce the death of the saint over there......"

"Then hurry up and fight quickly!"

"That's how it should be, but be careful—beware of villains!"

"Don't worry! Take care too! ”

In the case of worrying about the situation in the imperial capital, the war in the southwest, which had already entered a one-sided situation, ended extremely efficiently!

At the end of the year, the four kings of the southwest were actually captured alive and shot by two people, and only one of them died in the chaos! And the remnants are already hard to find. At this point, the war can barely end, even if there are still remnants, it will be a matter for the court officials in the future.

——The great victory in the southwest, the triumph of the army, even if the imperial capital is now surging because of the suspicion of Emperor Yongdi's body, but such a major event still caused jubilation in the government and the opposition!

What reassures some people and makes some people worry is that Emperor Yongdi, who has been "lying on the couch to recuperate" for several months, was overjoyed after learning that the world was finally appeased, and his health was much better and he was able to go to court! In order to celebrate the good news, Emperor Yongdi decided to personally preside over a He Dynasty!

On the day of the court meeting, after the ministers finished their salutes, the front people raised their eyes and looked at the bright yellow gon and white jade crown on the Danqi, which was slightly thinner than the last time the court was in shape, and the crown occasionally swayed, and the royal appearance was indeed a little haggard.

But these are as they should be.

Don't say that Emperor Yongdi has been sick, let's just say that the royal driving in the middle of the expedition, can you not be thin or haggard?

Bo Xi, the auxiliary minister, under the pretext that he had something to play, Tete tended to go to the Dan Qi to report loudly, and took the opportunity to raise his eyes and quickly glance at it.

After the court dispersed, seeing Bo Xi bowing slightly, everyone was relieved: Bo Xi was an old minister who had followed Emperor Yong for many years, and it was impossible to recognize the wrong person.

"The Great Prince......" Everyone muttered in their hearts, this is the future new monarch who is ironclad.
