Chapter 221: Balance of Power

In Cuihua Palace, Duguying washed away the tears on his face and changed into white clothes, and his face sank when he returned to the official room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he repeatedly told His Royal Highness of his tolerance, the palace guards refused to disarm, and coerced the British princess and the prince to forcibly break through. ”

Dugu Ying slammed her palm on the wall, no wonder the guards were negligent, she should have sent troops to protect the British Prince's Mansion in advance, there are only a few descendants of the royal family, and the princess and the Queen of England are in endless trouble if they don't kill the princess, and the British prince is only eighteen years old, and several younger siblings are even more guilty, the royal children and grandchildren are connected by blood, she can't do the thing of cutting grass and roots, and she doesn't want to spend half her life to repent like her grandfather.

"Invite Mr. Sanssouci first. ”

The British king made a hasty move in the palace, fell into the calculation of the crown princess, Ren Dugu was known as infinite wisdom, after all, he was just a scholar, and when he learned that the defeat could not restrain the two guards of the British Palace, he watched the princess and others take away, so that he finally discouraged the arson of the palace, so as to keep the little county lord hidden behind the desk, and leave a flesh and blood for the British king.

"Sir, the county lord pleases. Seeing that the guards were going to take Dugu Wuwu away, he was so frightened that the little county lord who was only three or five years old pulled his robe and cried, and the commander of the right battalion was about to explain that Dugu Ying had run over quickly and took the little county lord in his arms and burst into tears.

"Imperial sister, I'm afraid-" The little county lord hugged Dugu Ying's neck, as if the boat had found a sheltered harbor, Dugu Wuwu turned his head and sighed secretly, he couldn't understand the love and hatred of the royal children and grandchildren.

Picking up the little county lord, Duguying silently walked to the official room, stopped abruptly at the door, turned around and cried to the guards in the courtyard: "From now on, even if the little sister burns down the Cuihua Palace, without the words of the county lord, no one can blame half a sentence, no one can!"

The three ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Civil Affairs stepped into Cuihua Palace, and heard the crying sound in the distance, Yuwenjie's heart sank and ran quickly, only she knew that Dugu Ying's emotions were about to get out of control, shooting the king of England to force Concubine Duan to death, and seeing the king die with her own eyes, she had experienced too much in one morning.

The door of the official room slammed shut, Yuwen Jiefang shouted half a sentence and got a rolling word reply, smiled bitterly at Lei Ming, who rushed to hear the sound, waved his hand to signal him not to hit the nail, and asked the commander of the Praetorian Guard the reason for the matter, and told the three important ministers who arrived again, and no one in the courtyard walked and spoke.

"Little sister, you will live in your sister's palace in the future, and no one will dare to bully you, okay?" Holding the little county lord and sitting on the chair, Dugu Ying sorted out her clothes, and the little county lord shook his head and replied: "Imperial sister, my mother often says that when I grow up, don't stay in Kyoto, go as far as possible." Dugu Ying was even more sad in her heart, and she couldn't persuade her to take the heir, and the helplessness of the British princess was only buried in the bottom of her heart, but today she learned from the mouth of an ignorant child.

In the official room, Dugu Ying pretended to play with the little county lord with a smiling face, and when she was tired and fell asleep, Fang tore a white cloth belt from her robe and tied it on her forehead, bringing filial piety to her grandfather, parents, and brother. After frolicking for half an hour, the depression in his heart was dissipated a lot, Duguying's mood was finally calmed down, his mood was sublimated unconsciously, and the ruthless recipe made a breakthrough invisibly, and the benefit of refining qi was no less than ten years of hard work.

Pulling open the door and walking into the courtyard, Dugu Ying handed the little county lord in his arms to Dugu Wuwu, and he secretly touched the little county lord's pulse before he completely relieved his heart. With the protection of the county lord of Qinghui, the royal wind and rain can no longer torture the young children, and finally repay the king for his knowledge and life-saving grace.

"If there is no Uncle Ying to save him, he would have turned into rotten bones, teach my little sister, you have no shirk. Go to the name of the county lord to prepare the book, please give the little sister the fief of Ximiao City in Qili County, and the prince of Ximiao County will be the prince. When the little sister grows up, remember to tell the truth, the lord of this county shot the king with his own hands. ”

"Lei Ming, select a team of male and female guards from the two guards, temporarily serve as the little sister guard, and you will also serve as the captain. Dugu Wuwu was placed under house arrest in Cuihua Palace, and the right to be the little sister was literate. ”

"Jie'er, clean up the attic platform next to my courtyard as soon as possible, the little sister's courtyard needs are the same as me, before adulthood, Yulu and Sui Gong are managed by Cuihua Palace, and the account books are handed over to Dugu for worry-free management. The proposed book is to seal the British Prince's Mansion, and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs allocate special personnel to maintain it, and in the future it will be the county lord's mansion of the little sister. ”

Duguying's placement of the king's young daughter can be described as painstaking, not only to ensure her safety, but also not to let her feel under the fence. The three important ministers looked at each other a few times and nodded slightly, Dugu Ying said that he wanted to ask for a decree, but in fact, he had already made a decision, and he had the courage to kill and decide. Listening to Dugu Wuwu's ears is a different taste, there is no politeness in his words, he completely treats him as a sinner, gives him a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his sins, and can't tolerate him not agreeing, teaching the young daughter of the king is indeed duty-bound.

"See His Royal Highness the County Lord. ”

"Three Bosses, pleaseβ€”"

In the official room, Yu Wenjie told the chaos in detail, and only concealed the fact that there was a secret connection between the palace and Cuihua Palace. The three important ministers learned that the king died, everyone had tears on their faces, the old king was ruthless but never violated the righteousness, and his life was worthy of the name of the British lord and the king.

"Your Royal Highness, it is imperative to stabilize the cavalry camp and the guards, the old minister asks for an order to go to the cavalry camp, and the command of the guards will spread His Majesty's will, and he is sure that he will not disgrace his mission, the cavalry battalion is loyal to the royal family, and the prince does not dare to act rashly. The Minister of Military Affairs asked for his life first, and Dugu Ying pondered for a while and advised: "Boss, when you go to the Xiaocai camp, Your Majesty's will should not be spread too much, and it can be passed on to the captains of each battalion and the captain of the personal guard." The Minister of Military Affairs replied: "The old minister knows the severity, please ask the county lord to deploy the guards officers first, and the commander of the army must be replaced. ”

"Is there a suitable person in the Military Command Department?"

"The guards and sergeants are all elites selected from each battalion, and the duty of guarding the inner city is heavy, and it is difficult for non-veteran generals to suppress it, and they cannot lightly transfer veterans back to Beijing from the front. "The Minister of Military Command has thought about the competent and adjustable old generals one by one, and there is no suitable candidate for the time being, and the commander of the Kyoto Sanwei is not weaker than the Minister of War. After thinking about it, I still didn't have a clue, so I started with the middle-level officers: "Your Highness, first transfer Qiu Xingchen, Fang Zhenhai, and Qin Rufeng to the Guards Army to take over as captains, and the standard commander will be selected from the new patrol of the Lingbo Standard Battalion, and then the regiment commander will be transferred after stabilizing the battalions." ”

The Minister of Military Affairs objected: "Everyone else can do it, but Qin Rufeng can't do it, the Hua and Qin families are not suitable to be in charge of the Three Guards, and the old minister suggested that Lei Ming go forward, and it is more suitable to defend the city than Qin Rufeng." The Minister of Civil Affairs echoed: "Your Highness, the old minister of the military and political government agrees with this, and the power of the Hua and Qin families in the army is intertwined, because His Majesty has deprived him of his military authority even though he trusted him in the past. ”

"According to the three bosses, I will write some names and appoint them as the standard chief. Duguying leaned over and wrote down a long list of names, filling in the missing standard lengths, all of them were new patrol soldiers, and Meng Yichuan's name was in the first place. The two ministers of the military department had no objection after reading it, and this time the guards mutiny, fortunately, thanks to the decisive action of the new officers of the first patrol, it was able to quell it as soon as possible.

"Your Royal Highness, the old minister has an idea, the former Minister of Military Affairs is close to the British King, and now the major event has been decided, transfer him back to the official to reinstate his post, one is to appease the hearts of the people everywhere, and the other is to take over as the commander of the city guard, King Rui has interfered too much in the city guard, closed the city and blocked the Phantom Sword Gate, and did not report to the military department in advance, and it is logical to transfer the commander of the army to the guard, and then slowly adjust the standard commanders, and the three guards can not allow outsiders to touch it. ”

"Old guy, after talking for a long time, you used to make a stumbling block for me, Your Highness, the old minister went to the city guard to rectify it, if you really want to protect King Rui, he still doesn't want to interfere in the military power. ”

"My lord, even so, there must be an explanation, why did the King of England dismiss the military power of King Rui because of his rebellion? ”

"When the old minister came, he thought on the way, why did King Rui merge with the king of England in the court, but when he was about to do something, he decisively blocked it. Your Royal Highness, the heart of defense is indispensable, the royal family does not have a division with military power, and the so-called prevention of micro problems is actually protecting the minister. His Majesty died, and after stabilizing the Xiaoqi camp and the three guards, let the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible, and ordered the Minister of the Ministry of Education to protect the funeral and guard the mausoleum, and the ministers and sons should be filial to avoid suspicion. ”

Duguying was still thinking about it, and the Minister of Military Affairs said leisurely: "The family is the father and son, and the court is the monarch and the minister." Your Royal Highness, before the crown prince ascends the throne, it is best to deploy the generals in place, and in the future, when there is a major event, the military department will naturally go to the palace to ask for orders. Dugu Yingxin looked at the three important ministers, and it was enough to talk about this. Although the relationship between father and daughter is deep, the political opinions have often disagreed in the past few years, the grandfather died, and no one will judge in the future, and the father's words are the will, and he can't always resist the will from time to time, no wonder Wusheng asked her to go back to Cuihua Palace first to summon the three ministers.

"Three old men, Duguying has been taught. Please write here, and I will agree with the jade seal given by my grandfather. ”

Duguying let go of the table, the Minister of Military Affairs looked at her and climbed onto the table, the pen walked the dragon and snake to prepare the script, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the military order signed after reading it, when Duguying turned around, he held a crescent-shaped seal in his palm, and turned around and put it away after dripping blood and stamping it.

The three important ministers fell to their knees, and the military commander held the notebook in both hands, and his words were incoherent: "Your Majesty's foresight is really a great blessing for the Qinghui Empire. The military runes and kings and swords are all awarded to His Royal Highness, and the old ministers are only obedient from now on. Helping up the three old ministers, Dugu Ying's face was astringent: "Boss, the military talisman is not light, if it is not a matter of life and safety in the future, it must not be easily leaked to others." I wrote another piece of music and sent it to the palace, and after my father signed it, it would be sent to the military headquarters as soon as possible. ”

The three old ministers walked out of Cuihua Palace, one with their heads higher than the other.

Qinghui military talisman is not trivial, no blood of the descendants of the royal family is not sealed, before the military talisman is granted, the martial saint has to personally protect the law, worship the ancestors and the sects are recognized, and the word Qinghui will leap on the paper like a phoenix flying. At the beginning of their tenure, the Ministry of Military Command, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs taught the palace how to distinguish between the true and the fake, and the three secret rooms all contained secret books from the past dynasties for verification. Duguying holds the military talisman in his hand, and the three of them can act boldly, without worrying too much about the blame after the prince ascends the throne.

Sending away the three old ministers, Dugu Ying saw things and thought about people, and tears couldn't help dripping. Grandpa's grace is too far to think about the weight of the trust, she can't help herself every time she thinks about it, Wang Xi granted her son, and the military talisman was passed on to her granddaughter, grandpa was afraid that she would be wronged after her death, and ruled as a woman, and grandpa tried to help her resolve the resistance, and even did not hesitate to use the strategy of cutting the feudal domain to hone.

The courtiers were placed under house arrest in the palace, and only said that the king was critically ill and was on duty in the palace, and the official affairs of all ministries and courts of the empire were transmitted by the palace gate.

For the death of the British king, the royal words were vague, and there was no charge of plotting to seize the throne, the prince changed to support the army and disturb the court, and died accidentally in the conflict with the Praetorian Guards.

Zun Xian Imperial Concubine as the imperial concubine, moved to the fiefdom of King Rui to retire for the rest of her life, added the title of King Rui to the title of King of Parliament, served as the lord of Qinghui County, and was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Duguying privately admonished, but his father insisted on disobeying, saying that King Rui should be rewarded for his meritorious escort that day.

Qinghui County Lord Dugu Ying no longer served as the general of the Eastern Expedition and the county guard of Qili, and stayed in Kyoto to associate the military and political affairs of the empire, and the prince of the food seemed to be extremely honored, but in fact, she was deprived of real power, and her father said that she should not be too ostentatious when she was young, but fortunately, she did not transfer the generals of the Eastern Corps, and Ling Huqing and Ouyang Xuan were officially promoted to the magistrates of Qili County, Shi and Sima, which gave her some comfort.

After the crown princess was successfully promoted to the queen, she confided her dissatisfaction with her daughter, and comforted her with a few words of prevarication on the grounds that the harem did not interfere in politics. Dugu Ying simply said that he was sick and did not go to the court, except for the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Three Guards military power, he didn't care about other government affairs and military aircraft, and it was not strange for the king to smile, since he didn't want to participate in the court meeting, he stayed in Cuihua Palace with peace of mind to discuss the truce with the people of the county kings.
