CHAPTER XXVI

Shangguan Han also knew a lot after hearing this, yes, if it weren't for him being in the whirlpool of power, he would also know a little about the person concerned. If it were normal, I would probably want to make fun of others.

"But the appearance of this kind of voice is still not conducive to the third child, we must always find a way, or find out if there is someone behind this who is deliberately spreading rumors." Guan Liren also nodded approvingly.

Shangguan Jun is really anxious, and he has no time to look east, not only has to deal with the aftermath of the first emperor, but also has to deal with all the forces in the court. Fortunately, a palace coup was not launched, and he and Guan Liren had already made arrangements in advance. The only thing that is unpredictable now is that the voices of opposition that are hiding in the shadows have not yet been heard. In the state of darkness and light, he can only take every step of the way. Think carefully and think twice at every step.

During Shangguan Jun's state funeral for Emperor Yin, all ministries and neighboring countries sent envoys to mourn. Dong Yulin, the son of Bodu, and Lu Ming, the son of Dali, also participated in the memorial ceremony. This time, Dong Yulin was alone and did not bring the princess Shangguan Ying to come, and Mrs. Shangguan thought that she could take this opportunity to see Shangguan Ying, but she couldn't help but feel lost when she saw Dong Yulin.

Dong Yulin only said that Shangguan Ying was infected with the wind cold, and her mother was reluctant to let Shangguan Ying be tired. Only one person came back, and when she heard that she was fine, Mrs. Shangguan was relieved.

Lu Ming also came for Prince Lu this time, and after participating in the memorial ceremony, he deliberately went to Junchen Palace to see Jingchen. The last time we saw each other was on Halloween. At that time, Yin Jingchen was so lively and optimistic. Now she is sad and sick. Lu Ming couldn't bear to see it.

"Are you alright.....

Jing Chen turned around and smiled bitterly: "After so many years, many people have taken care of their bodies with me and cheered up, only you asked me if I was okay." ”

Lu Ming: "If you can't hold on, don't hold on." The sun shone through the bamboo forest so that people couldn't open their eyes, she covered her forehead lightly, and smiled at the handsome boy who walked in the sun. I haven't seen him for a few years, and he is becoming more and more suave and romantic, and Yushu is in the wind.

Jing Chen smiled slightly: "Congratulations on your wedding, the agreement back then still failed to be realized.....

Lu Ming heard her congratulatory words, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "It's nothing, my father ordered me to marry, and I will marry, don't mention this..... He..... You guys..... You do, does he know? ”

Jing Chen understood: "He's too busy, I haven't seen him since my father died, I don't want him to be distracted." ”

Lu Ming was displeased, and Jing Chen continued: "Thank you for coming to see me." Lu Ming took his hand and said distressedly: "If you are wronged, you must tell me." ”

Jing Chen nodded: "It seems that you don't remember how I bullied you when I was a child." Lu Ming was relieved to see that she could still joke. After sitting for a while, he got up and took his leave.

Lu Shizi went to Junchen Palace to see the princess, and then returned to the post station. Dong Shizi visited the Shangguan Mansion, and then went to the homes of several ministers. Shangguan Jun nodded after listening to the secret guard's report on Lu Ming and Dong Yulin's itinerary.

Now that Empress Yin has finished dealing with it, it will be the enthronement ceremony. And Dong Yulin and Lu Ming seem to be leaving before the enthronement ceremony. The attitude towards Bodu and Dali is really invisible. And he can't act rashly, he can only observe secretly.

However, after Dong Yulin and Lu Ming returned to Bodu and Dali respectively, Bodu and Dali made statements one after another: "Although Shangguan Jun is the heir appointed by Emperor Yin, it is not enough to rule the Quartet. And, how could the imperial power of the Yin family fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames. Shangguan Jun did not have enough prestige to dominate the world. and a vain attempt to subvert the country's capital, which is really a conspiracy to steal the Yin family's royal power. "Bodu broke away from the Yin royal family and established the Fuyu State, Dong Wangye established himself as the emperor, and named Dong Yulin as the crown prince. In the name of expelling Shangguan Jun and his henchmen, the Lu clan of Dali established themselves as kings.

Since then, the Central Plains, which was once formally unified, fell apart after the death of Emperor Yin. In the past, there was Bodu, Dali was independent, and then some old ministers in the court took the initiative to resign and return to their hometowns in advance. There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the Shangguan family was challenged like never before.

At the time of internal and external troubles, the new emperor's registration ceremony is imminent, and Shangguan Jun is difficult to sleep. The forces that were hidden in the shadows are also gradually coming to the surface, and his priority now is to win hearts and minds and pacify the people.

This dangerous situation also spread to Pingcheng and to the ears of the old lady Shangguan. Chu Yunxi was worried about the old lady's body and didn't dare to tell the truth, but what could the old lady who had experienced the wind and waves hide it. The old lady must go to the capital in person. Chu Yunxi couldn't stop him after many dissuasions, so he could only write to Shangguan Xiongji, hoping that he could stop the old man.

After receiving the letter, Shangguan Xiongji discussed with Guan Liren's father and General Guan Lao and agreed that the old lady would take a trip, maybe this former aunt and grandmother of the Guan family could change this dangerous side.

Can Old Lady Shangguan really turn this situation around?

The arrival of Mrs. Shangguan and Chu Yunxi surprised Jing Chen, because of Shangguan Jun's identity, Mrs. Shangguan was probably in danger along the way. After all, with this trump card in hand, using the old lady to blackmail Shangguan Jun will also get a lot of benefits.

However, Shangguan Xiongji and General Guan Lao had already arranged for someone to secretly protect them, and the old lady was low-key, so they did not reveal their identities along the way.

The old lady came to the capital, and Jing Chen went to visit after getting the news. As soon as they met, the old lady took her into her arms: "Child, this period has made you miserable, and you have lost weight." ”

Jing Chen was grateful for the old lady's concern, her heart was warm, and she held back her tears and said with a smile: "I'm fine, it's worrying grandma." ”

The old lady looked around the house, only Shangguan Jun was not there among the juniors, and couldn't help but sigh: "Jun, it's getting more and more idle, it's hard for you, he is not by your side at this time." ”

"Grandma, I understand, it's not easy for him." Jing Chen hurriedly said.

The old lady Shangguan nodded: "I came with your sister-in-law this time for this matter, I heard that the old minister of the court is embarrassed for him?" ”

Jing Chen nodded: "Those criticisms are not afraid, and they will be self-defeating in the future, what they are afraid of is the enthronement ceremony in the next few days." ”

"If you can have the support of those old ministers, you are not afraid. But the difficulty is .....," Guan lamented.

Old lady Shangguan: "Leave this matter to me, Jingchen will go with me tomorrow, I haven't been to the capital for a long time, and I will meet old friends." ”

Jing Chen asked with a look in surprise, and the old lady smiled and said, "Do you know your emperor's youngest brother, the fourth prince?" ”

Jingchen's fourth grandfather is the fourth emperor uncle of Emperor Yin, because he doesn't like royal life, he is intoxicated with landscapes and pastorals, and travels all over the world. It's because of this uncertainty that where to find it. This time, Emperor Yin's memorial ceremony, the old man did not appear. And after so many years, no one knows whether it is life or death. Why is the old lady Shangguan so sure that he is still alive, besides, this prince behaves perversely, has a strange temper, and doesn't give anyone face, how can he have an intersection with the old lady Shangguan.

A month after Emperor Yin's funeral, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled. The old ministers who had previously opposed or took the initiative to resign took the initiative to come back. The masses who do not know the truth are full of discussions. And the precarious position of the new emperor has once again stood up.

On this day, the sky was clear, the bells and drums of the noon gate rang together, the civil and military officials knelt outside the Taihe Palace, and Shangguan Jun slowly walked into the Taihe Palace. The instrument is lofty and high-spirited. With the sentence of the ceremonial official: "The new emperor is enthroned", the civil and military officials knelt three times and bowed nine times, "Long live my emperor." "The mountains struck like a tsunami.

As soon as Shangguan Jun ascended the throne, he issued several holy decrees: sealing the deceased Emperor Yin Huang as the ancestor, and treating Emperor Yin's harem with courtesy, sealing the Empress Dowager Yin and entering the middle palace, Yin Jingchen as the queen and entering the queen's palace. Due to the cancellation of all ceremonial activities during the national funeral, the people's tax was reduced by three years. A series of measures to benefit the people have also been promulgated, which have attracted applause from the people.

The enthronement ceremony was so smooth, and an insider whispered a little news: "It is said that the old prince is also here for this ceremony." ”

"Which prince, isn't Lord Yin dead a long time ago?"

"It's the emperor's uncle, the fourth prince. Oh, the prince who traveled the rivers and lakes, he is still alive? ”

"Of course, I thought that the Shangguan family was relying on the first emperor and the princess, but I thought that the Shangguan family was the benefactor of the Yin royal family, no wonder Emperor Yin would agree to this family affair."

"What the hell is going on?"

"It is said that when the fourth prince and the emperor were trapped in a valley in Pingcheng, it was the old lady Shangguan who saved the two of them. The Emperor Taishang thanked him for his kindness, but the old lady refused to say anything. In the end, the Emperor Taishang secretly left a token and gave it to Mrs. Shangguan at that time, Mrs. Shangguan, and one day when the Shangguan family was in trouble, take this token to him. ”

"So, the rise of the Shangguan clan and even the Guan clan is because of the relationship between the old lady of Shangguan?"

"No, I can only say that this fate is destined in the dark....."

The parties involved are unaware of the speculation of the people. And for the help of the four princes, Yin Jingchen was quite grateful. After all, it was precisely because of the old prince's action that the people's hearts were stabilized, and Shangguan Jun ascended the throne without bloodshed and sacrifice without a single soldier.

Yin Si's old prince's move, which was unexpected by Shangguan Jun. Even without the help of the Fourth Prince, he would still sit on this chair. Just a few old ministers, just relying on a conspiracy to incite public opinion, vainly trying to disrupt the government, then he may not be underestimated. In fact, he had already made a plan, just to show weakness to his opponents and force them to take it lightly. Of course, he never thought that the good causes that the Shangguan family had produced would achieve today's good results. Hit the opponent by surprise without much effort. There is still a long road waiting for him, the road ahead is dangerous, and he must always be vigilant, maybe he will not have such good luck next time.
