Yindu Palace.

After the snow, the palace is more red and greener.

The widowed Empress Dowager Dong was dressed in a black plain skirt, wearing a beaded hairpin, holding the little Tianzi in her arms and standing beside the dragon chair symbolizing absolute power in the Taihe Palace, and the Empress Dowager with tears in her eyes looked at the golden dragon chair, her eyes were full of longing and reluctance.

Zheng Changsheng walked in from outside the Taihe Palace, and subconsciously quickened his steps and walked forward.

The Kowloon Square outside the Taihe Hall was already crowded with people, including eunuchs from the Internal Affairs Office, palace maids from various palace departments, and some officials with slightly weaker official positions.

Changsheng came to the Queen Mother's side, took the sleeping Son of Heaven from the Queen Mother's hand, and said in a low voice, "The King of Guangnan has entered the palace, and he will go to the Taihe Hall immediately." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, put on a black cloak that symbolized the status of the Queen Mother, and walked towards the outside of the hall, followed by Changsheng with the Son of Heaven in her arms.

On the Kowloon Square of the Taihe Palace, Gao Ling, dressed in a brocade robe, swaggered forward, followed by Gongsun Lian and Gongsun Changfeng, father and son, and then Ning Feng, Yu Gongming and other officials.

King Guangnan continued to walk forward, did not bow to the Queen Mother outside the Taihe Palace, and saw that his brother-in-law King Guangnan did not salute, and the Queen Mother Dong did not blame, just watched quietly.

When the king of Guangnan came to Kowloon Square, all the people in the square knelt down and saluted, "See the king of Guangnan." ”

The King of Guangnan looked up at the Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager Dong looked haggard, she had experienced too many things in the past few months, and it was strange that the Empress Dowager was in good spirits.

However, the Queen Mother's pale face and a black dress are quite a feeling of cold beauty, and the Queen Mother stands alone outside the hall, with no one to support her, which makes her cold.

Gao Ling walked straight through Kowloon Square, came to the stone steps of the Taihe Hall alone, looked up at the Queen Mother, and bowed his head, "Gao Ling has seen the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother nodded slightly and took a deep breath, "Lord Wang, it's been hard all the way." ”

The corners of Gao Ling's mouth raised slightly, and he walked towards the Taihe Hall step by step, and on the Kowloon Square, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu quietly looked at the scene in front of him.

When Gao Ling came to the Empress Dowager Dong's side, he stopped slightly, looked at the Son of Heaven in the arms of Xiao Changsheng next to him, and showed an intriguing smile.

"Is this my hard-working nephew?"

After speaking, he wanted to reach out to hug Xiao Tianzi, Changsheng subconsciously stepped back, and Yuan Haibei in Kowloon Square saw this scene and was about to rush up on the spot, but was stopped by Ning Feng.

"No."

Yuan Haibei gritted his teeth, and secretly swore in his heart that as long as Gao Ling did something disrespectful to the Queen Mother and the first emperor, even if he Yuan Haibei took this life, he would protect the dignity of the first emperor.

Empress Dowager Dong turned her head to look at Gao Ling, squinted her eyes and said, "Lord, the hour is not early, it's time to ascend the throne." ”

Gao Ling sneered, looked at Empress Dowager Dong, withdrew his hands, and bowed his head, "Then let's not delay." ”

Seeing Gao Ling go straight into the Taihe Palace, Empress Dowager Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

Entering the Taihe Hall and looking at the dragon chair that he had dreamed of sitting on, Gao Ling laughed excitedly, laughing and crying at the same time, in the eyes of outsiders, he was somewhat crazy.

Gao Ling came to the dragon chair, carefully touched the edges and corners of the dragon chair, felt the charm of the highest power in the world, and finally sat down greedily.

When he opened his eyes, as far as he looked, he had the courage to see all the mountains at a glance, and Gao Ling's excited voice was trembling, "Quick, fast...... I...... I'm going to be enthroned! ”

Empress Dowager Dong looked at Gao Ling's excited appearance, tears flowed down uncontrollably, and then with a wave of her hand, hundreds of musicians of Yule Fu rushed in, bending their knees on both sides of the square, drums sounded, flutes sounded, and the world was magnificent in the song.

This song swallows mountains and rivers, the waves are magnificent, and the blood-pumping music is from the hand of Ning Xiaochuan's fourth brother Ning Yu.

At the beginning of this song, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains leaped into a painting, and the splendid rivers and mountains seemed to be in front of you; The ups and downs of the transit are like the wind of Dapeng, the waves are magnificent, and the wind rises thousands of miles; The finish note is as melodious as a trickle into the sea, and it is endless.

If you listen to Xianle's ears, it is temporary.

In the melodious and shocking ceremony, Empress Dowager Dong and Changsheng quietly returned to the Zijin Hall with Nan Hibiscus in their arms, and the cold and silent Zijin Hall formed a very obvious contrast with the lively scene outside the Taihe Palace.

As soon as he entered the Purple Gold Palace, the Queen Mother fell to the ground one by one, and Changsheng hurriedly shouted at the Queen Mother, but he couldn't spare his hands at all with Xiao Nanjin in his arms, and the entire Purple Gold Hall was empty.

The Queen Mother stood up alone, reluctantly came to the stone chair in the courtyard, and lay on the table and cried bitterly.

From the mother's honor in the world, enjoying the harem to having nothing, it took four months for the Empress Dowager Dong.

After handing over the throne to Queen Quang Nam, this woman who seemed to be strong could no longer hold on, and she cried very sadly, heartbreaking.

With the accession of King Gaoling of Guangnan to the throne as emperor, the third year of Yongxi came to an end.

The new emperor ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Taiwu.

Gao Ling knew that his throne came from Chan Rang, so he did not make major changes to the court officials, but only sealed his grandfather Sun Lian a left household to participate in politics and the official position of Sanpin.

As for Ning Feng, the official positions of Yu Gongming and others have not changed, and the entire court seems to have only changed an emperor, and nothing else has changed, and this Zen concession has also become a topic of conversation among the people after dinner.

In February of the first year of Taiwu, Gao Ling, who had ascended the throne for a month, wanted to find an excuse to expel Empress Dowager Dong and King Peng Yi from Yindu and take over his mother, Gongsun Changping.

However, as soon as these words came out, they were instantly opposed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, especially Zhang Benxi and other New Deal officials.

In the end, when Gaoling was on fire and was about to use the coercion of the Son of Heaven to deter the ministers, Gongsun Changfeng stood up and came out, facing his uncle, Gaoling dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

At the insistence of Gongsun Changfeng and a group of officials, the Queen Mother and King Peng Yi stayed in the palace.

After Gao Ling ascended the throne, the new policy continued, but Gao Ling did not know anything about the operation of the country and the way of the monarch and ministers.

For this reason, almost all major and minor matters in the imperial court affairs are decided by Ning Feng and others, and Gaoling sings every night, indulges in wine, and yawns and listlessness when he goes to the court.

And this has laid a big hidden danger for the future.

……

Yindu, Zhenbao Zhai.

Jumbo Zhai's business will not be affected by the change of the throne, and the business is still extremely hot.

In the private room on the top floor, the young prince in a brocade robe was leisurely drinking and listening to music, when suddenly, the sound of pushing the door sounded, and the young prince stretched his waist.

"It's finally here."

With that, he waved his hand, and the musicians and maiko who were playing the music saluted and retreated, while the man who entered the door was leaning sideways, as if he didn't want to be seen.

After the musician and dancer left, the young official came over and saluted King Gaochang of Pingchuan, "Subordinate Chen Baibin has seen the prince, and the prince is a thousand years old and a thousand years old." ”

Gao Chang did not get up to help him, but sneered, "Mr. Chen is now a big celebrity of His Majesty, the official worships Doctor Zijin Guanglu, who is much more prosperous than when he followed this king, and now he wants money and money, and he wants power and power, which makes you salute this king, and this king is a little overwhelmed." ”

After hearing Gao Chang's uncomfortable ridicule, Chen Baibin was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and saluted, "The prince has tormented the villain, the villain's life is given by the prince, and in this life, only the prince is the first to look forward, and he will never dare to have a different heart for the prince." ”

Chen Baibin was so frightened that his soul was gone, his whole body trembled when he spoke, and Chen Baibin, who was usually majestic, was like a prisoner at the moment, without dignity at all.

After seeing Chen Baibin's deferential and pious attitude, Gao Chang turned his anger into joy, directly helped Chen Baibin up, and personally patted the dust off his body, and said with a smile on his face:

"Mr. Chen, what do you say you are doing here? This king is just joking, who are you I still not clear? But don't do that next time, it's not good for you or me. ”

Chen Baibin was covered in cold sweat, and kept wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, "Yes, yes, my subordinates will not dare in the future, and they will never let the prince wait for so long." ”

Gao Chang smiled, sat down with satisfaction, and raised his glass to drink, "Second brother, is it still comfortable to sit on the throne?" ”

"The Son of Heaven let him pick up the leak, can you not be happy, it's just that the prince, there is something I don't understand, why do you want to give up the position of the Son of Heaven to the King of Guangnan? Isn't that also a great opportunity for you? Chen Baibin said puzzled.

He has had such questions since Gao Chang sent him to Suzhou, but only now he has asked them.

Gao Chang took a leisurely sip of wine, and his eyes flashed with treacherous and calm that should not be at this age, "The time has not yet come, but sooner or later this throne belongs to the king, and now it's just a matter of letting the second brother sit first." ”

Chen Baibin didn't dare to ask any more, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The prince is far-sighted, and his subordinates are ashamed." ”

Gao Chang smiled and raised the valuable sheep's horn jade wine glass, "Now that the dust has settled on the matter of Yindu, let Ning Feng and Yu Gongming toss the rest."

My second brother is so happy, brave and strategic, and they toss, but this king wants to make Yin Du more lively, so you know what to do. ”

"What does the prince mean to let his subordinates help the king of Guangnan?" Chen Baibin said tentatively.

Gao Chang shook his head, "Of course not, this king wants you to follow the second brother, no matter what he does or what he says, you can't say half a word, and even when he hesitates, you have to help him make up your mind, understand?" ”

Chen Baibin seemed to be able to guess Gao Chang's intention in doing this, and said directly, "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

"Yindu court, this king will be handed over to you, don't let this king down, otherwise the consequences you know." Gao Chang's tone of voice was very calm, but it was like a thunderstorm in Chen Baibin's ears.

"Yes, the subordinates will never let the prince down." When Chen Baibin spoke, he didn't dare to raise his head from beginning to end.

Gao Chang got up and stretched, threw the wine glass on the table, and walked straight out, saying as he walked, "After eating, I will leave, this king has paid." ”

"Yes."

After respectfully sending Gao Chang away, Chen Baibin straightened his waist, although the delicacies were placed in front of him, he regarded them as dregs.

King Pingchuan will definitely turn the world upside down in the future!

Chen Baibin asserted.
