Chapter 325: The Edict Has Been Burned
In the palace of Anding County.
"I really don't understand, why did you take the risk to save the emperor? Did you know that this is a great opportunity? You have the edict of Emperor Zhaoren in your hand, as long as the emperor dies, you take out the edict, can this throne still run? Xiao Li paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, said a word, and glanced at the scene with hatred.
Jing Rong secretly contacted Xiao Li and asked him to come to Anding County to get together, and told him the whole thing. Xiao Li reacted very much when he heard it, and felt that this was simply an opportunity to send it up, and the snipe and clam were competing for the benefit of the fisherman.
The emperor did not appoint a crown prince, once he died, the throne was vacant, and the government and the opposition would inevitably be in turmoil. At this time, take out the edict of Emperor Zhaoren, and the throne is within reach. Even the Queen Mother, she didn't dare to question it. Moreover, there are no longer a few people in the court who have followed Jingrong, as long as he ascends to the heights and shouts, the ministers will definitely respond.
But he went the opposite way, and he also wanted to rescue the emperor, didn't he let the opportunity slip away in vain.
"The edict has been burned by me, and when I decided to let go of this attachment, a fire burned to ashes." Faced with Xiao Li's almost accusatory look, Jing Rong disagreed, smiled, and said lightly.
"What? Go up in flames? Xiao Li raised his voice, and the tail note was lost. He took a hard breath, not holding his breath, he was afraid that he would be impulsive enough to punch him, "You loser, you-hey! Anyway, it was also left to you by your imperial grandfather, how could you burn it? You unscrupulous descendant! ”
Jing Rong's expression darkened, but the curvature of his lips remained unchanged, and he said: "I remember the emperor's good intentions, but I want to repay him, so I want to burn the edict and cut off my heart." The emperor is a good emperor, and even if I sit in that position, I may not necessarily do better than him. Our Great Qin has never lacked people to be emperors, but we lack a good emperor. ”
His voice murmured like a leaf boat floating quietly on the water, only listening to the leaves falling, not seeing the water waves, "In fact, when I left the imperial city, I was not so chic, and I was also a little unwilling." But I wanted to give Fu'er a peaceful life and let her forget those painful memories for her, so I chose to leave. But did you say I was willing at that time? No matter how I say it, I'm still unwilling. ”
The will left by Emperor Xuanwu was not a humiliation for him, although he was unharmed on the surface, he even thought that he didn't care about the throne at all. But in the dead of night, he asked himself, is he so willing in his heart? At least it's more or less uncomfortable.
"But later, the emperor's benevolence and benevolence really convinced me. Since he ascended the throne, he has made good use of people, worked hard, worked diligently and loved the people, and swept away the decadent state of Great Qin during the Xuanwu Emperor period. In just a few years, Daqin is changing with each passing day, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”
He looked at Xiao Li and said, "The king's virtue is the blessing of the people, so on the day I was truly convinced, I burned the edict and burned the only trace of thought in my heart." ”
Xiao Li was silent, sat down quietly, and bowed his head slightly, "Your Majesty, he is indeed a wise king, in recent years, he has rectified officials, lightly punished the meager endowment, and all industries are prosperous, and the people have praised him." ”
Jing Rong's eyes were like a galaxy, sparkling, "In the past few years, I have been used to being at ease, and all I want is to have both my wife and children, wealth and power are in my hands, but it is just a drop in the ocean, floating clouds and rain." ”
"You've really changed." Xiao Li smiled with relief, leaned back in the chair, and lifted Erlang's legs, "In this case, I have no choice but to be a loyal and patriotic person." ”
In the past few years, Xiao Li has been very appreciated by Jingyu, and his official luck is smooth, and now he is Jing Zhaoyin. Since ascending the throne, Jing Yu has been virtuous and promoted many young people and upstarts, and Xiao Li is also one of them.
"If you want to be a loyal and patriotic person, it depends on whether there is this opportunity." Jing Rong sighed slightly, full of sorrow, "Last night, Er Fu'er and her senior sister had already entered the palace to diagnose the emperor's poison, and the emperor's poison is not optimistic." ”
"I hope God will bless the emperor to get through this danger safely." Xiao Li folded his hands and prayed. He glanced around the room, "By the way, where's my cousin?" Xianyu knew that I was coming, and specially asked me to bring her a good sentence. ”
Xiao Li was married to Xian Yucheng a year ago, and at first Jingyuan Hou disagreed, thinking that Xiao Li was just a temporary ghost who wanted to be with a woman who had been in the Qinglou. But in the past few years, the two of them have been affectionate and unchanged, and Jing Yuanhou saw that Xianyu was not as charming as those dusty women, and he also had a beautiful temperament on his body, and gradually came into contact, and found that Xianyu was excellent in terms of character and knowledge, so he gradually accepted it, and finally agreed to their marriage.
Not long ago, Xianyu just gave birth to a son, but Jingyuanhou was very happy, and now he is making his grandson happy every day.
Jing Rong raised her chin towards the inner room, "She came back late last night and was resting. ”
Jing Mu walked in with his calf, and leaned on Jing Rong's leg with his hand that broke away from Jin Lu. Jingrong picked her up and wiped her sweaty forehead, "Where are you crazy, it's so hot." ”
The immature voice sounded milky, "I played Feng Wu with Hao Hao, Feng Wu is so cute, it understands what I say." "Hao Hao is the son of Gong Jin Mu and Song Chu, he is three years old, and when he is naughty, he just happens to play with Jing Mu. Two little tricksters, plus a trick-or-treater, not to mention how lively the Anding County Mansion has been these days.
"Mu Mu, do you still recognize your cousin?" Seeing Jing Mu, Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up, squatted beside her, and waited for her answer with anticipation.
The last time Xiao Li went was when he and Xianyu had just gotten married, and Mu had forgotten it from such a distance. Jing Mu glanced at him, then looked up at Jing Rong again.
Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, the daughter obviously doesn't remember it. But I was afraid of hurting Xiao Li's face, and I was embarrassed to say that I didn't remember.
"You're not good-looking, who remembers you? Our family only remembers good-looking people. Jing Rong quipped, helping her daughter to break the siege.
Jing Mumeng nodded and agreed: "That's it." ”
"Haha-" Jing Rong smiled brightly, "You see, our father and daughter both have the same vision." ”
Xiao Li groaned helplessly and slapped his forehead, "If there is a father, there must be a daughter." He gently pinched Jing Mu's nose, "Mu Mu and his cousin go home, my cousin's family has a little brother who can play with you." ”
Jing Rong said in a slightly disgusted tone: "How can you let him play with us Mu Mu just a month after he was born, do you think your son is Nezha, and he can run away just after birth?" ”
"Huh? You're right, my son is amazing. "As a first-time father, when Xiao Li mentioned his children, his face was smiling like a flower, his eyes were full of joy, and he was filled with countless starlight.
"I don't want to go back with you." Jing Mu suddenly interjected, "My mother has given me a little brother, I don't want someone else's." ”
"Huh? My cousin-in-law is pregnant? Xiao Li asked.
Jing Rong was slightly stunned and touched Jing Mu's hair, "I heard her nonsense, it's just that a few days ago, she was clamoring for a sister, and she had to ask her mother to give her a little sister." He lowered his head and asked Jing Mu, "How do you know that your mother is pregnant with a younger brother?" ”
Jing Mu stuffed a strawberry into his mouth and muttered, "I dreamed about it last night." ”
Jing Rong smiled, kissed her face, and doted: "Okay, my father and your mother work hard to give you a little brother next year." ”
"In the belly of the concubine, you don't have to work hard." Jing Mu stuffed another grape into his mouth, pouted his little face, and spoke while eating, "Father, you have to remember, the mother concubine has a little brother, what if you can't press her belly and crush the baby?" ”
Xiao Li smiled narrowly and patted Jing Rong's chest, "Did you hear that?" Pay attention in the future, there is still a supervisor for you. ”
Jing Rong brushed his hand away in disgust and warned: "I'll know when you have a daughter." ”
Jing Rong is already very glad that Jing Mu did not dismantle his platform in front of outsiders, and it seems that this little witch also knows that she wants to save some face for his father outside.
He just thought that what Jing Mu said was a child's nonsense, but he didn't expect it to be in one sentence.
After Mu Xuefu woke up, Jing Rong showed her the letter from Jing Han that she had just received. Jing Han said that he would set off on the same day, and he would be one step ahead of the army, and he would arrive at the imperial city in a few days.
Jing Han's letter made Mu Xuefu breathe a sigh of relief, at least after he came back, the Queen Mother did not dare to act rashly.
"You don't say that I won't connect the death of the Queen Mother with the Queen Mother, it's just that Concubine Wengui has gone crazy, and her words are not credible." Mu Xuefu told Jing Rong about meeting Concubine Wengui, and Jing Rong's heart shook after hearing it.
Last year, the Queen Mother drowned in the Taiye Pool in the middle of summer, and according to the maid next to her, she said that she could not bear the night heat, so she went to the Imperial Garden for a walk, and when she arrived at the Taiye Pool, the Queen Mother remembered that she did not take a fan, so she told the maid to go back to the palace to get it. When the maid returned, she found that the body of the Queen Mother had been floating on the pool. When they were rescued, they had already lost their breath.
The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, but in the end it was concluded that the Queen Mother had fallen into the water.
It seems that the truth is very well-founded.
"The words of a madman can be believed." Mu Xuefu poured a glass of water and moistened her lips, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she was shining, "She can even do things to poison the emperor and frame the queen, what else would she not dare?" I think the Queen Mother must have discovered some secret that led to her murder. The teacup was clenched in the palm of his hand, his fingertips groped the rim of the cup, and he whispered softly, "What's the secret?" ”
Jing Rong's mind moved, and said: "Since Concubine Wengui knows that it was the Queen Mother who killed the Queen Mother, does she know what the secret is?" ”
"Seeing the killing process is not the same as knowing the secret." Mu Xuefu suddenly knocked the teacup on the table, her eyes dilated, and she looked at Jing Rong and said, "Do you say that Concubine Wengui is not crazy at all, she pretended to be crazy to pass on a message to me?" Judging by her situation, she should be beaten every day, if she says what she says to me every time she sees someone, will the Queen Mother still keep her life? It should have been killed a long time ago!
