Chapter 8: Hongu is an honest man 8
King Heng vigorously went to Tunan to suppress the bandits, and the Empress Dowager Shen also quieted down, no longer fighting with the emperor, and only cared about chanting scriptures and praying for the safety of King Heng every day.
After Princess Heng Chang came to her senses, her memory was indeed confused, and she didn't remember that she had found Elemental Sakura and was interrogated by the emperor at all.
Knowing that King Heng had gone to Tu Nan, Chang also began to worship the Buddha worriedly.
Empress Dowager Shen was satisfied with Chang's daughter-in-law.
When the New Year was approaching, Jing Yan suddenly issued an edict to let the heirs of the feudal kings from all over the country from three to ten years old enter Beijing to accompany him, and the whole dynasty was in an uproar.
Empress Dowager Shen tensed her nerves even more: "What does the emperor mean by this?" Do you want to pass the step-family? ”
Mama Wu couldn't guess for sure: "Reasoning, our prince is closer in blood, even if he wants to succeed, he should choose from our prince's heirs." ”
Empress Dowager Shen scolded: "Black-hearted and rotten liver thing! He was afraid that my son would come out and mix the water in advance!
It's about the imperial heir, how can those vassal kings not be moved?
My brothers are still incompatible, and those cousins who are separated by generations will definitely regard my son as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh!
Jing Yan, he's so ruthless! It's poisonous! ”
Mama Wu was also frightened: "What should I do?" The prince is still Tu Nan now, and it is the time when it matters! ”
"That slut of the Lan family!"
Empress Dowager Shen was angry with Concubine Lan: "If it weren't for her efforts, how would my son be in the dilemma he is in now!" ”
Empress Dowager Shen sent a few angry words, and finally said: "This matter started because of the Lan family, and the Duke of Zhenguo has to be responsible to the end!"
A letter from the mourning family, clarifying the stakes with him, for the sake of Concubine Lan and the Lan family, he will keep my son safe and sound! ”
After speaking, Empress Dowager Shen immediately went to write a letter.
Zhen Guogong, who received the summons, just frowned, thinking that Empress Dowager Shen was thinking too much, and the emperor might not have the idea of succession.
The vassal kings of various places may not have any thoughts about King Heng.
However, thinking that his granddaughter was also there, he had to order his old subordinates to secretly protect King Heng and King Heng's side concubines all the way.
In the Qianming Palace, Elemental Sakura was also asking this question: "The emperor intends to pass on the clan?" ”
Jing Yan smiled: "Sometimes, my opinion is not important, what matters is what other people think.
The thoughts of the Queen Mother, the thoughts of King Heng, and even the thoughts of those who are attached to them. ”
Elemental Sakura yawned.
She just wanted to know when King Heng would be offline.
Jing Yan saw that the elemental cherry blossom was absent-minded, and he also threw the chess pieces back to the basket with interest: "This year's New Year's Festival should be very lively." ”
It was indeed lively, and King Heng triumphantly suppressed the bandits and returned with a great victory.
Everyone in the court praised it, and the Empress Dowager Shen couldn't close her mouth happily.
For a while, the wind of asking King Liheng to be the emperor's younger brother blew.
Marquis Mingyuan directly entered the palace and complained: "It's really a big joke in the world!"
Aren't you just going to kill a bandit? It was unexpectedly publicized all the way from Tu Nan to the capital.
I don't know, I still think that King Heng is a great hero who turns the tide and saves the world! ”
Marquis Mingyuan glanced at the elemental cherry blossoms present, and after all, he didn't say that half of the credit for King Heng was secretly sent by the emperor.
Jing Yan: "The statement of the emperor's brother may not be what King Heng meant. ”
Marquis Mingyuan: "Then he didn't object."
I watched him go out and the whole thing floated up!
If the people around him tout like this again, do you believe that he can feel that he can take on the whole world! ”
Jing Yan smiled: "We'll see." ”
Marquis Mingyuan also suddenly smiled: "The emperor is like a god." ”
Elemental Sakura looked at Jing Yan and then at Ming Yuanhou, and always felt that these two people had a sense of villain.
King Heng did float.
The smooth and successful suppression of the bandits in Tu Nan seemed to have opened a certain shackle in his heart.
He is no longer the prince who is inferior to Jing Yan in anything, he can also make contributions and be high-spirited!
He is no worse than Jing Yan.
He just didn't have the opportunity to play!
So along the way, someone celebrated him, and he suffered it safely.
The people around him praised him for his bravery, and he felt that it was very good!
When he finally returned to the capital, the imperial brother who was high in the past became small in his eyes.
When he saw the elemental cherry blossom accompanying Jing Yan's side, King Heng's eyes were full of blazing imperativeness, and he felt that it should be a woman who belonged to him!
Jing Yan's eyes were dark: "King Heng has made a great contribution, and he should be rewarded."
It is better to give Tu Nan to King Heng as a fief, so that the people of Tu Nan can thank King Heng for his kindness. ”
"Your Majesty!" Empress Dowager Shen was angry: "King Heng ignored the danger and worked hard to share the emperor's worries, is the emperor in such a hurry to drive away the heroes?" ”
King Heng also frowned, not very happy.
What kind of reward is this?
The ministers who participated in the celebration banquet and the festival banquet had different expressions.
Jing Yan turned to the Empress Dowager Shen: "The queen mother misunderstood, the son just gave Tu Nan to King Heng as a fief, and did not let him go to Tu Nan to become a vassal."
King Heng has always been filial, how can I bear the pain of separation between him and his mother?
The queen mother is still looking forward to King Heng's early birth, I know it. ”
Empress Dowager Shen glanced at Jing Yan deeply: "According to the mourning family, the emperor is the most filial one." ”
Jing Yan toasted: "The queen mother cherishes her son the most." ”
Elemental Sakura: "......"
Oh, this false mother-son relationship.
His face was torn, and he could still say such sensual things in public.
Elemental Sakura expresses admiration.
In a blink of an eye, she saw King Heng arguing with Concubine Lan.
Gee.
This false conjugal relationship.
Husbands and wives who shared weal and woe not long ago are now parting ways?
King Heng put down his wine glass impatiently: "I was born and died for the emperor, pacified Tu Nan, his reward is so perfunctory, why do I still have to thank him for a toast?" ”
Concubine Lan was speechless: "Lord, the emperor is the king, you are the minister!"
You've finally made a comeback, so many people are watching, why are you being aggressive at this time......"
"Enough!" King Heng was used to flattering during this time, where could he listen to Concubine Lan's words: "If you don't want to eat this table, go back!" ”
Concubine Lan was also arrogant, so she got up and left immediately.
King Heng angrily smashed the cup directly.
Empress Dowager Shen took a look, and became more and more displeased with Concubine Lan, so she directly asked the concubine Chang to come over and sit with King Heng.
Chang's temperament was very different from Concubine Lan's, holding King Heng gently and carelessly, and King Heng quickly regained his smile.
Someone came to toast, as long as he flattered him, King Heng would not refuse to come.
Soon, King Heng was very drunk.
In the dream, King Heng seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.
"Someone! Raw stove! ”
King Heng called for a long time, but no one answered him.
King Heng trembled coldly, and could only get up and look for someone to find fire with a curse.
In the end, he found his own tools to light the fire, and it was not until the whole room was set on fire and his whole body was warm that King Heng fell asleep satisfied.
However, his sleep was very unsettling, and there were always people shouting in his ear, like mosquitoes.
What King Heng didn't know was that he slept peacefully, and as a result, the entire sea garden was alarmed.
The queen mother, the emperor, the clan relatives, and the courtiers watched in horror as the Longxin Hall built by the first emperor was swallowed up in the sea of fire, and countless ancestral relics and portraits of heroes were destroyed.
