How to Raid the Queen

After leaving the patriarchal residence, Jing Wenhao did not go to see Li Xi in the Zhiran Palace. He already knew that Jing Wenxi had someone send a message to his grandfather. Counting the days, his grandfather could enter the palace today. After all, he still didn't want Li Xi to worry about these things.

Jing Wenhao just waited in the Hall of Supreme Harmony until it was almost time for the key to be released in the palace, and finally it was reported that his grandfather had come.

Jing Wenhao's ancestral family originally belonged to the clan. His ancestors were great generals who followed the Tai/ancestors to open up territories. They were good ministers and loyal generals from the early generations. Few, especially in the generation of his maternal grandfather, who had only given birth to a few daughters.Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor thought of his merits and allowed his daughters to enter the palace to receive education since they were young.It was at this time that his father and queen fell in love with his mother at first sight, and what happened later.

Jing Wenhao did not have a good impression of this grandfather. In his memory, his grandfather had always favored Jing Wenxi. Even though he was the noble prince, his grandfather seldom hugged him, let alone someone like him. It's easier to treat him like Jing Wenxi.The way they get along has always been more like the way a monarch and his ministers get along.Now that Jing Wenhao is standing in this position and thinks about it, he can't help feeling amused, his grandfather held the military power in his hands, and since his father and mother returned, when he ascended the throne, the whole Daqi situation was not very good. It can be described as perilous.And I was deeply trapped in the den of tigers and wolves, but my grandfather resolutely chose to hide in Cangzhou with the military power in his hands. He never went to Beijing once on many important days this year, but Jing Wenxi sent a letter Go, they rushed over without stopping, which is also ironic.

Jing Wenhao didn't pretend to be waiting for someone, but sat at the table, holding a booklet, and earnestly replied.

An Fuquan approached and said, "Your Majesty, Old General Xiao has arrived."

"Let's announce it." Jing Wenhao didn't look up, but still took a cinnabar pen to critique the paper.

General Xiao walked steadily into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and said: "The old minister sees the emperor."

Only then did Jing Wenhao raise his head, walked down, helped up his grandfather, and said, "What is this grandpa doing, I am ashamed to receive such a great gift."

General Xiao stood up, took Jing Wenhao's hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jing Wenhao tidied up his sleeves, sat down with General Xiao, and sat down beside him, saying: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Grandpa for a year, and Grandpa came late this time. A few days ago, Li Xi's birthday banquet was very lively. At that time, I wanted to send a post to invite my grandfather, but I remembered that you said that the matter of your mother had hit you too hard, and you would never want to return to the imperial city in this life, so forget it. Knowing that I really missed a good show."

When Jing Wenhao said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone that couldn't be concealed.

"Your majesty, old minister..."

"Come on, grandpa is finally willing to come to Beijing once, try this tea, Fanbang just brought it up as a tribute, Li Xi likes it very much." Jing Wenhao directly interrupted his grandfather's words, ready to have a good talk with his grandfather Reminiscing about the past.

General Xiao had no choice but to take the tea first, took a sip, and said in a stern voice, "Good tea."

"Grandpa has been on the road recently, and I'm afraid he didn't eat well. In this way, I asked the imperial dining room to prepare. Grandpa might as well stay in the palace today. It's just an extra bed anyway." Jing Wenhao proposed suggestion.

"Your majesty, old minister..."

"Grandpa, your majesty, the title of a veteran is too outlandish, no matter what, we are two grandfathers and grandchildren, so we don't have to worry about those hypocrisy." Jing Wenhao interrupted General Xiao again. "I think, isn't grandpa's birthday coming soon? Why don't you leave this time, and wait for the birthday to hold a big event in the mansion. It will be lively and lively."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your concern." General Xiao probably knew that Jing Wenhao was deliberately interrupting him like this, but he was afraid of delaying the business, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

Jing Wenhao smiled contemptuously, and said to himself, this is too anxious, but he quickly returned to a kind look on his face, and said: "Okay, Grandpa said what you want or not, and if you have anything, just say it."

Seeing that Jing Wenhao finally did not interrupt him, General Xiao got up, knelt down in front of Jing Wenhao, and said, "Your Majesty, I know that King Ying made a big mistake this time, but King Ying is still young and doesn't know what's going on. It is a big mistake to be provoked by others. I beg the emperor to spare the life of the King of England for the sake of his brothers." General Xiao spoke earnestly, and he couldn't hide his worry and thoughts, and all he could do was cry on the scene. Wen Hao cried out in front of him.

"Grandpa, you are embarrassing me." Jing Wenhao helped General Xiao up, and said: "Didn't you just tell Grandpa that Grandpa missed the good show, and now it seems that although Grandpa is in Cangzhou, his heart is not happy." It's close to the imperial city, but Grandpa knows what happened in just a few days."

"Grandpa, you know how Jing Wenxi treated him since he was a child, that is the only one in the world. He is lucky, colluded with the emperor uncle to force me to abdicate. If this matter, he did it quietly That's all, I can still help him around, but he is such a stupid thing, in front of all civil and military officials, if I don't get rid of him, how can I convince everyone?"

Jing Wenhao said as he thumped his chest, and said: "When the queen mother passed away, she held my hand and asked me to take care of him. Now that he has fallen into this situation, I am very sad."

"In the final analysis, I am not good enough. I have been on the throne for a year, and I can't win the hearts of the people. I don't even have a military power in my hands. This must be the case, so that the emperor's uncle is eyeing. The emperor, I am really aggrieved. .”

"Your Majesty, don't say that." Before General Xiao came, he was ready to give up his military power. After all, saving his life is the most important thing. I'm old and frail, so I'm not fit to lead troops anymore, so I'm here today to ask the emperor to take back the military power, and let the ministers take the king back to Cangzhou to retire."

When General Xiao was speaking, he took out a military talisman from his pocket and offered it with both hands.

Jing Wenhao personally took over the military talisman, and then said: "Grandpa, why should you be like this? I'm not such a ruthless person. It just so happened that today I asked someone to bring my younger brother into the palace from Dali Temple. Grandpa will eat with me first, and it's over." Let's discuss this matter."

Seeing that Jing Wenhao's expression eased, General Xiao felt relieved a little, and sat back on the chair again.

This is when an eunuch hurriedly came from outside, saying that he was from the clan's residence, and asked to see Jing Wenhao.

As soon as the eunuch entered the palace, he knelt down and kowtowed, with a trembling voice, he said: "Your Majesty, it's not good, King Ying, King Ying committed suicide in prison."

"How? How?" Before Jing Wenhao could speak, General Xiao got up and roared twice.

"After the King of England came today, he pestered the prisoner to ask for pens and paper. It seemed quite normal. Unexpectedly, just now when the shift was changing, he grabbed the ground with his head. The floor of the dungeon of the clan mansion was made of sand and stones. It's very solid, when the guards finish their shifts and patrol the prison, they will find that the King of England is dead." The little eunuch didn't dare to raise his head.

"Ridiculous." Jing Wenhao kicked the eunuch to the ground, "Putting out the clan mansion."

General Xiao followed Jing Wenhao all the way to the Zongren Mansion in disbelief, and Jing Wenxi's cell was already full of people.

Jing Wenxi's corpse had been laid out and put aside. The large blood scar on his head was shocking. Due to excessive blood loss, his lips were purple at this time.It was probably because the life in the prison was difficult, and after only a few days, the person had lost a lot of weight. At this time, he was lying on the side stiffly, without any expression.There was a large pool of blood next to it, which had begun to dry up.On the other side was only a small table, neatly placed a piece of paper.

Jing Wenhao walked over, picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, then hit his head hard with his hands, and said: "Brother, why are you so stupid, Brother Huang always loves you."

General Xiao was already in a daze from the moment he saw Jing Wenxi's body, and he didn't care about etiquette at this time. He rushed forward and picked up the piece of paper. It was the letter of repentance written by Jing Wenhao a few hours ago. .

General Xiao spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot, sprinkled it on the confession letter, and pointed at Jing Wenhao tremblingly, "You, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he fell down. Jing Wenhao saw that he had fallen down, so there was no need to act. He asked someone to carry General Xiao back to the general's mansion, sent some imperial doctors there, and treated the people in the clan's mansion. The person gave a few instructions and asked them to issue a notice, and it was over.

After finishing all this work, Jing Wenhao finally took a break, heaved a long sigh of relief, and went to Li Xi's place.

When Jing Wenhao was away, Li Xi was always reading the book quietly, but it was not some master's talk, but some weird medical books.

When Jing Wenhao arrived, Li Xi was lying on the soft chair, flipping through a book vigorously.Jing Wenhao walked over and sat next to Li Xi.The reclining chair is always a bit narrow, and the figure of two grown men is not suitable for lying together. Li Xi consciously turned his body sideways, let Jing Wenhao lie down, and buried his head in his chest.

Jing Wenhao did those things just now, although it was reasonable, he still felt uneasy, especially when he thought of Jing Wenxi's death, he felt like a lump in his throat, so he didn't talk to Li Xi today, just hugged him, Gently stroked his hair.Fortunately, Li Xi was very obedient and let Jing Wenhao take care of her.

Li Xi sensed that Jing Wenhao was not doing well today, so he simply put down the book, put Jing Wenhao's medicine on one wrist, and said coquettishly: "The emperor went to Chen Fei's place after he came down today, and he came so late. Really a heartless person."

Listening to Li Xi's reproach, Jing Wenhao knew that this person was trying to find something to say to him, so he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Queen, are you jealous?"

It is said that Li Xi disdains such acts of jealousy, but in order to coax Jing Wenhao, Li Xi still nodded and hummed unobtrusively.

Jing Wenhao finally couldn't help but put his arms around the person in his arms.
