Chapter 193: Demotion to the Lord
Cheng Engong's unfinished words were stuck in his throat.
Emperor Nanxing looked down at Ge Lisi coldly: "So, after receiving the letterhead from Cheng'en Gong, you will behave sneakily and go to the Hefeng Pavilion to make an appointment, but you didn't think that Gu Erlang was in the Hefeng Pavilion, in order to avoid revealing your deeds, you knocked Gu Erlang unconscious, pushed him into the lake, and killed people?" ”
"I didn't ......" Yes.
The word 'have', before he could say it, Ge Lisi's scalp was numb, and he suddenly raised his head, and he was shocked by the anger of the Son of Heaven and Long's eyes, and when he reacted, he was already in a cold sweat, and the three words "I don't" turned into a weak quibble after all.
"Good, good, good," Emperor Nanxing laughed angrily, staring at Cheng Engong, "A good Cheng Engong who inherits the emperor's grace, a good uncle who deceives the emperor and peeps into the imperial power, and a good minister who forms a party for personal gain and is consumed by profit." ”
Cheng Engong's forehead was against the cold and hard imperial kiln gold bricks, and his back was already wet: "Your Majesty, that letterhead is not from the hand of the minister, the minister has never invited Prince Ge Lisi to meet in the Hefeng Pavilion, someone framed the minister, please Your Majesty Mingjian." ”
"So what," Emperor Nanxing's eyes were scarlet, and his voice was as deep as water, revealing a suffocating coercion, "even if someone frames you, it is to expose to me your involvement in imperial power and your accumulation of evil deeds of bullying the monarch." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention, the minister just wants to establish a prince." Cheng Engong intended to defend himself.
"I don't stand up Jingzhang, do you feel resentful in your heart?" Emperor Nanxing's voice was cold, "But I think that Jing Zhang is the heir, and he is the only heir, so I must make him the prince?" ”
"Minister, minister......" Cheng Engong's intuition is bad.
"This world belongs to me, who do I want to appoint, I have the final say, when will it be your turn to put the beak?" Emperor Nanxing sneered, "Why didn't I set up Jingzhang, Duke Cheng En should know better than me in his heart, in order to balance the court, the neutral faction never participated in party struggles, why did they never urge me to establish a prince for many years?" Haven't you ever thought about it? ”
Gu Xiang sighed lightly, Cheng Engong was still too selfish after all.
It must be known that the surname in this world is 'Jiang', not 'Lin', and there is a foreign family that can wantonly interfere with the decision of the crown prince, how can His Majesty rest assured that the country will be handed over to the three princes?
In the future, when the three princes ascend the throne, will the surname be 'Jiang' or 'Lin'?
Relatives interfere in politics, that is a taboo in all dynasties, so many lessons of blood and tears in history, not enough to make Chengen Gong wake up?
If the Lin family is really autocratic, not only will the interests of the neutral faction be damaged, but will the Taiwei Mansion have a way to live?
This Jiang family's world, it still depends on the Qi family to defend it, the Taiwei Mansion Qi family exists for a day, which is the cornerstone of the Southern Dynasty Sheji, without the Taiwei Mansion, how can the Jiang Dynasty deal with the barbarians in the Quartet?
Can Cheng Engong afford the war of the four parties?
Cheng Engong's body softened, his blood slowly became cold, and when it came to this, the former love between the monarch and the minister was completely over.
"Spread my will, immediately take away the title of Duke of Cheng'en, accept his coupons, and demote him to the Marquis of Cheng'an," Emperor Nanxing stared at the Duke of Cheng'en, his voice was cold and ruthless, "Cheng'an Hou, thank you!" ”
Cheng'an Hou trembled and bowed down: "Minister, Cheng'an Hou, thank you Lord Longen." ”
Emperor Nanxing bowed: "Kneel down!" ”
Cheng Anhou kowtowed hard, then got up and retreated, Xiao Dezi hurriedly took a group of people and others, and went to the house with Cheng Anhou to retrieve the coupon of 'Cheng Engong'.
Gu Xiang sighed lightly, and then the government and the opposition were afraid of setting off a partisan dispute, and all this was also promoted by him.
Emperor Nanxing stared at Ge Lisi: "The peace talks have not yet been decided, Your Excellency the Prince will stay in the Sifang Pavilion with peace of mind during this time, until the end of the peace talks, the Imperial City Division will keep an eye on Your Excellency's every move." ”
Prince Goris dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Emperor Nanxing looked at Gu Xiang again: "Today's incident, Gu Erlang was frightened a lot, fortunately, Gu Erlang Ji has his own natural appearance, and it can be regarded as a thrill, and when Gu Erlang's health improves, he will take the position of captain of the shooting voice, and be loyal to his family and country." ”
This is appeasement and compensation, and his kid can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, Gu Xiangyan has a reason not to appreciate it, and hurriedly bows his head to thank him.
There was silence in the south study.
Jiang Fuguang turned a cup of mulberry honey paste water and presented it to his father.
Emperor Nanxing sighed lightly: "Today's matter, I don't have anything to do with you, I'm tired all day, let's rest in the palace today!" ”
"Today's Dragon Boat Festival, my father should rest early!" Jiang Fuguang comforted.
But it was completely useless.
As soon as Jiang Fuguang left, Emperor Nanxing summoned the king of Changjun overnight, and Hubu Shangshu and others entered the palace to discuss matters, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
……
On the second day, the news of the Duke of Chengen's surrender spread.
There was an uproar in Beijing.
The officials of the Cheng'an Hou family have dismissed His Majesty, but there is no response.
The neutrals felt that the situation was about to be unbalanced, and a panic inevitably rose in their hearts, and they asked to see Gu Xiang one after another.
found that the door of the Prime Minister's house was closed, and Gu Xiangcheng was ill, and the courtiers suddenly understood that there was another inside story about the surrender of Duke Chengen, and they inquired about the situation.
There was chaos outside the palace, and there was no peace inside the palace.
Queen Lin didn't get the news until the morning, because she was so shocked that she accidentally knocked over the teacup: "What is the crime?" ”
"Bullying the monarch and getting involved in the imperial power." Jing Yu said in a panic.
Queen Lin couldn't help but feel cold all over her body, such a crime, unless His Majesty already knew what happened in the palace at the beginning.
"Help, help the palace up." Queen Lin's voice was difficult, and she couldn't exert any strength in her body.
Jingyu helped Queen Lin and went to the Liangyi Hall to see His Majesty, but was blocked by Xiao Dezi: "Your Majesty is discussing with the minister in the south study, please go back to the queen!" ”
Queen Lin refused to leave, and she had to kneel at the door of the south study.
Xiao Dezi couldn't, so he had to go in and report to his godfather.
Zhang Dequan pondered for a moment and explained the situation to His Majesty.
Emperor Nanxing didn't raise his head: "Let her go back." ”
With a faint four words, there is no longer half of the love between husband and wife, Zhang Dequan was slightly suffocated, he watched the Lin family how to wear out His Majesty's tolerance little by little.
"Queen Mother!" Zhang Dequan personally went on a trip.
Empress Lin couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Is Your Majesty willing to see the palace?" ”
Zhang Dequan shook his head: "Your Majesty asked the slave to ask you, he still remembers the promise he made to you back then, do you still remember the promise he made to His Majesty back then?" ”
Queen Lin's body went weak and fell to the ground.
At that time, the first queen gave her and the emperor's eldest son a marriage, at that time, her father was only Yong'an Bo, because of the ancestral dragon merit to get the title, but after a few generations, the family business has been ruined, no longer glorious, my father only received the post of squire in the military department, the rank is from the fourth grade, not high or low.
With her identity, she can be selected as the princess and concubine, because the ancestor burned high incense.
But she didn't feel happy at all, and even felt aggrieved.
