Chapter 85 Taken hostage
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenyuan sent Yunqi to destroy all the jade antiques in the old minister's house, not to mention, and also kidnapped the minister's daughter, please make sure to be the master of the old minister!"
In the early dynasty, Jiang Cheng complained with tears in his eyes, and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and they all whispered.
Ning Yuanhui's face was very ugly, he snorted coldly, and glanced at Jiang Chengxiang, who was kneeling under His Royal Highness, "Chao Chinese Hundred Officials, why did the Marquis of Zhenyuan lightly smash your family's things?" Kidnapping your daughter? Prime Minister, I want to ask you, did you do something to anger the Marquis of Zhenyuan? ”
The emperor's attitude was expected by Jiang Wenyao, if it was not a last resort, the emperor would not clash with the Marquis of Zhenyuan, on the one hand, he had to govern the twelve departments of Huyan, and he had to be the Marquis of Zhenyuan, on the other hand, the emperor was afraid of the strong force of the twelve departments of Huyan, and did not dare to persecute them.
Jiang Wenyao glanced at Gong Ruhai, the squire of the Ministry of Works, Gong Ruhai understood, and said, "Your Majesty, whether the prime minister offended the Marquis of Zhenyuan or not, as an official of the imperial court, the Marquis of Zhenyuan should not use force to abuse lynching privately, as a general of the border pass, but he did not take the imperial court officials in his eyes, and even kidnapped the concubine of King Ning, where is the law of the king of the Ning Dynasty?" Where is my royal majesty? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jiang Wenyao said bitterly, "The old minister has always been loyal to the country, and he has never had any personal grudges with the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and there is no intersection in government affairs, but the Marquis of Zhenyuan is ...... This ......"
Jiang Wenyao looked sad and shouted on the ground, "Please ask the emperor to make decisions for the old ministers!" ”
Ning Yuanhui snorted coldly, "Let me call the shots for you, who will call the shots for me?" See for yourself! “
When the words landed, Ning Yuanhui pulled the letter from the Marquis of Zhenyuan last night on the imperial case and threw it to Jiang Wenyao.
Jiang Wenyao picked it up with a puzzled face, and was immediately shocked, "This ...... The emperor, without the emperor's call, the Marquis of Zhenyuan returned to Beijing privately, which ...... This is a taboo for the dynasty! ”
"What, Marquis Zhenyuan returned to Beijing privately!"
As soon as these words came out, the hundred officials suddenly boiled, who doesn't know, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has a lot of power, if he really returns to Beijing without a call, it will be a great provocation to the imperial power, and when the time comes, Ning Yuanhui, the emperor, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit still.
"Your Majesty, this move must not be done!" A group of old ministers hurriedly exclaimed, "Please make an order quickly and not allow the Marquis of Zhenyuan to return to Beijing without permission, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
How could Ning Yuanhui not understand this truth, he was the most unwilling person in the entire court to return to Beijing without permission, but the Marquis of Zhenyuan had already given him such an ultimatum, and his current holy decree would not play any role at all, and would only bring humiliation on himself.
"All Aiqing think about it, now that the situation is urgent, is there any way to calm the anger of the Marquis of Zhenyuan and let him continue to guard the border pass?"
"This ...... Your Majesty, in fact, it is not difficult to calm the anger of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. "Wei Heng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said from afar.
Ning Yuanhui suddenly became interested, "Oh, what is the Qing family's good plan?" Come on! ”
Wei Heng bowed from afar, and then said, "There are two ways. First, find the reason for the anger of the Marquis of Zhenyuan and solve it, as far as the officials know, the Marquis of Zhenyuan plans to return to Beijing privately this time because his beloved daughter Yunshuang County Lord was bullied, and this matter has a lot to do with Prime Minister Jiang's daughter-in-law, King Ning's concubine, which is also the reason why Yunqi took King Ning's concubine away. As long as we find the concubine of King Ning, find out the truth, and return the justice of the Yunshuang County Lord, the anger of the Marquis of Zhenyuan will disappear. ”
"You're spewing blood!" Jiang Wenyao got up from the ground angrily, pointed at Wei Hengyuan with his finger, and shouted angrily, "How could the daughter of this official ever bully the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan?" There is no evidence, please don't talk nonsense! My daughter has worked hard in King Ning's Mansion for so many years, and she has worked hard without merit......"
"Prime Minister, don't worry, let Master Wei finish speaking!" Ning Yuanhui saw that Jiang Wenyao was still exculpating his daughter until now, what is the truth of this matter, the civil and military officials can see it clearly, besides, even if Concubine Jiang is really wronged, it is very necessary to sacrifice her alone for the stability of the Daning Dynasty. “
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Jiang Wenyao lowered his head and retreated into the queue, no longer speaking.
Wei Hengyuan continued, "I think all of you have also heard that although the Yunshuang County Lord acted arrogantly, he was a jealous and hateful person, and he must not be a vicious person, which was also one of the reasons why the Marquis of Zhenyuan was so angry when he saw her being bullied, as long as we were also the Lord of Yunshuang County to be fair, the Marquis of Zhenyuan naturally had nothing to say." “
Ning Yuanhui nodded, feeling that Wei Hengyuan was right, Luo Yunshuang's character, he was much more familiar than the civil and military officials, that girl was indeed not bad-hearted, if this matter could be turned into a big thing and a small matter, it would be the most happy ending.
It's easy to say, but if you really do it...... Ning Yuanhui frowned, how many people are involved in this matter, but it is not something that can be found out in a while, and even if it is found out, this notification to Huyan Grassland, it will delay many days when it comes back and forth, I am afraid that the Marquis of Zhenyuan will not be able to wait for that time!
The emperor thought about it, felt that it was inappropriate, and continued to ask, "Wei Qing, what other ideas do you have?" ”
"There is another way," Wei Hengyuan said, "but this idea is not very good, the Yunshuang County Lord is the pearl of Zhenyuan Marquis, since Zhenyuan Hou loves her so much, then she is our best bargaining chip, as long as there is Yunshuang County Lord in hand, no matter what, Zhenyuan Hou will not do too much." ”
Although his words were subtle, but everyone could hear the meaning, he suggested that the emperor control Luo Yunshuang, and once the Marquis of Zhenyuan wanted to rebel, he would use Luo Yunshuang to force him to retreat.
For a while, all the officials were speechless, secretly thinking about the feasibility of this method.
"Report!"
In this matter, a guard outside the hall hurriedly reported the military situation, Ning Yuanhui immediately called in to reply, the guard knelt on one knee and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, fifty miles outside the capital, I found that the car of the Marquis of Zhenyuan was escorted by eighty-four cloud horses, and he was rushing towards the capital!" ”
"What?"
Ning Yuanhui's shocked face changed, in the letter he received last night, Marquis Zhenyuan said that if the emperor still couldn't protect Luo Yunshuang, he could only come to make decisions for his daughter in person, but it was only less than a day, and he had already arrived in the capital!
What does this mean? This shows that the Marquis of Zhenyuan had already marched towards the capital before writing a letter to the emperor!
As soon as they heard the news, the civil and military officials were very panicked, and Wei Heng said from afar, "Your Majesty, the current situation is urgent, don't hesitate any longer!" It's better to enter the palace as soon as possible! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, hurry up and enter the palace of Lord Xuanyunshuang!"
The officials all agreed, and the news that the Marquis of Zhenyuan had returned to the capital really frightened them.
The emperor thought about it, although the chance of winning by doing this is not great, but if he doesn't do this, then there is no chance of winning at all, and at the moment, he can only hope that the Marquis of Zhenyuan will favor Luo Yunshuang, which is indeed very ordinary.
"Someone is coming, immediately pass on the little princess Ning Wude Hall to see you!"
Zheng Xiaode received the order and hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to pass on Luo Yunshuang. Luo Yunshuang slept in the ancestral hall for two days, although she said that she had food, drink and quilts, and everything was fine when she slept at that time, but now she found that her whole body was very sore, so she had to lie on the bed listlessly, and let Pian Pian and Chu Chu knead her back.
The holy decree came at this time, Zheng Xiaode looked in a hurry, but Luo Yunshuang felt that his anxious appearance was very interesting, and immediately asked, "Gonggong Zheng, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are a lot more lively!" ”
Zheng Xiaode was about to cry, "Ouch, my little princess, don't make fun of the slave, the emperor hasn't seen you for so many days, and now he's thinking about you!" Isn't it, let the old slave come and invite you to a trip? ”
Luo Yunshuang blinked in confusion and pouted, "Gonggong Zheng, you are really going back more and more." The emperor has never been kind to see me, every time he sees me, he doesn't even have a good mood, how can he miss me? You can see that you are lying to me! Say it quickly, what is the emperor looking for me? “
Zheng Xiaode didn't expect Luo Yunshuang to analyze the head of the Dao, and nodded again and again, "Little princess, the emperor is really waiting for you!" You don't have anything to do now, so it's better to count it for the sake of the emperor's love for you, and the little princess will go and take a look with the old slave! “
Luo Yunshuang thought for a while, and was about to speak, when Ning Qi, who was reading a book on the side, suddenly said, "Even if the emperor wants to see Shuang'er, he shouldn't go to the Wude Palace, the Wude Hall is the place where the emperor and the cultural relics and hundreds of officials discuss matters, and now there is no court, right?" “
As soon as Luo Yunshuang heard this, she immediately became vigilant, although she didn't know what Yunqi did last night, but she heard early in the morning today, Concubine Jiang was arrested in the middle of the night, and after thinking about it, it must be Prime Minister Jiang who sued her before the emperor bought it.
Thinking of this, Luo Yunshuang sneered, waved her hand indifferently, and said happily to Zheng Xiaode, "Since the emperor wants to see me so much, then okay, I'll go with you." ”
"Shuang'er......" Ning Qi frowned, for fear that Luo Yunshuang would be in any danger after entering the palace.
"Don't worry," Luo Yunshuang didn't take it to heart, anyway, Concubine Jiang's disappearance had nothing to do with her, and the emperor was not a faint monarch, so he would never use this to embarrass her, "The emperor has always spoiled me so much, are you still afraid that I will be bullied?" Don't worry, only I, Luo Yunshuang, bully others, and no one can bully me yet. ”
Ning Qi thought for a moment and put down the book in his hand, "Why don't I go with you?" ”
"No need," Luo Yunshuang shook her head and refused, "The person the emperor wants to see is me, I'll just go by myself, and ah, you're not well, rest more in the mansion, I'll be back soon." ”
Although he is confident that the emperor will not deliberately make things difficult for her, but just in case, Ning Qi is still in the mansion, if something really happens to her, he can still find a way to save her.
"In that case, little princess, let's go into the palace, shall we?"
Seeing Luo Yunshuang agree, a big stone in Zheng Xiaode's heart was suddenly put down, she looked at Luo Yunshuang with a smile and said, "Little princess, please." ”
Luo Yunshuang thought for a while and said, "You say, the emperor asked me to go to the Wude Palace?" ”
Zheng Xiaode nodded yes.
Luo Yunshuang blinked, "Isn't this just going to let me go to the morning court?" I need to change my clothes.
After speaking, she asked Zheng Xiaode to wait in the front hall for a while, and then she turned around and went into the bedroom, found a set of clothes that she thought were most suitable for today's occasion, and changed into the corresponding bun and headdress, before going to the front hall and saying to Zheng Xiaode, "Father-in-law Zheng, now we can go." ”
Zheng Xiaode looked at Luo Yunshuang in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he looked amazed, and he was stunned for a while, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Luo Yunshuang smiled softly, "Gonggong Zheng, didn't you just say that the emperor was waiting for me?" Why don't you go? ”
