Rong Lan

Chapter 43 The Empress Dowager

In the early dynasty, the emperor was furious, and he imprisoned Rong Shangshu to try his private tax collection case. Outside the imperial study, the people who were waiting for Rong Lan's intercession waited for a whole morning, and finally waited for the emperor to return to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is here to plead guilty." Prime Minister Xu Zhongbo held out the memorial that Rong Lan gave him before and immediately knelt outside the hall, "The matter of raising taxes was discussed by Rong Shangshu with the minister, and it was the minister who secretly agreed with him. Do this! This matter is the old minister's fault, not Rong Shangshu's, please punish the emperor!"

Cheng He held a thick stack of densely written paper in his hand, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, these short-term tax collections will not increase the burden on the people. Now that the war is going on, the treasury will be even more empty. Doing so will benefit the court." Solid foundation! Lord Rong is thinking about the entire Zhou Dynasty, not for his own self-interest, and he dared to act like this after repeated calculations. This is Lord Rong's draft handwriting, please read it!"

Cheng He rushed to Rong's mansion as early as possible, and before he said his purpose, someone handed him the sorted documents, thanked him a thousand times, and begged him to release his young master from prison.

Many officials from the household department heard that Rong Lan was imprisoned, and rushed into the palace to plead for their ministers. Everyone in the household department was prosperous, and everyone was hurt. At this moment, Cheng He took the lead and these people also knelt down one after another: "Please look at me, Your Majesty!" Lord Shangshu has dedicated himself to the imperial court, extrajudicial grace!"

As the minister of the Ministry of War, Li Yongke shouldn't talk too much about the affairs of the Ministry of Accounts, but the case of the fire in the Taizhou workshop is not as favored by Rong Lan, not to mention that the victory in the first battle is largely due to the policy book written by Rong Lan He also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, without the method of making firearms mentioned by Rong Shangshu, Da Zhou would not have won this battle so smoothly. Please forgive me and let him atone for his sins."

As soon as he opened his mouth, people from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment and other six departments also knelt down to support Rong Lan.

Zhong Yi looked at the crowd of people kneeling outside the imperial study room without showing any expression, he never expected that Rong Lan would be so popular in the court.

If he can shake half of the high-ranking officials in the court, he can threaten half of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The scene where all the ministers are pleading for orders is not a good thing for an emperor.

It's not that Zhong Yi wants to be afraid of Rong Lan deliberately, but he is too aware of the temperament and face of everyone kneeling in front of him. Of course there are officials in this world who are not afraid of imperial power and upright advice, but how could there be so many? All of a sudden, without knowing the reason, they all came to intercede.

It's probably not that simple.

"The soldiers in front are killing the enemy with blood, you have time to waste time on such things as pleading!" Zhong Yi scolded in a deep voice, Zhang De took the things from Xu and Cheng and presented them to him, but he didn't even accept them , Shaking his sleeves angrily: "If you want to be punished together, you can continue to kneel, and if you don't want to cause trouble, get out!"

The emperor was furious!

For a moment, the officials looked at each other, the princess was about to marry the Rong family, didn't the emperor need a step to pardon Rong Shangshu?

Two days before Princess Chongdie's wedding, the wind was rough and the waves were not calm.

Battle reports from northern Xinjiang continued to spread to the capital.

The Great Zhou Pass has always been stable, and Beijue Shanyu is the direct elder brother of the empress of the dynasty. Therefore, the news that Haihu sent troops to attack the Great Zhou shocked the whole country.

And a rumor about why the Beijue suddenly raised troops had spread all over the country at some point, and even reached the ears of the soldiers who were fighting bloody enemies and defending the country.

The world is even more shocked!

The emperor wants to abolish the virtuous and virtuous queen, for a man!Beijue Shanyu is eager to love his sister, so he must give the emperor some flair!

People in the world didn't dare to criticize the emperor, they all pointed their finger at the rumored Hubu Shangshu, who was said to be a disaster for the country and the people. It turned out that this person had always been infatuated with the emperor.

"Report—! Hukou Pass fell, Hongzhou fell!"

The morale of the army was not stable, when the first news of defeat came to the capital, those who had knelt for Rong Lan to be released from prison outside the imperial study for two consecutive days touched their heads and dared not kneel again.

"Master, it is the remnants of the Rong family who encouraged those ministers to intercede for Rong Lan."

Rong Lan was in prison, and the Rong family rushed to rescue him, which is understandable, but if Zhong Yi let him go easily, it seems that now it just confirmed the rumor that spread from nowhere.

The emperor had an affair with the Minister of the Household Department, and he was in favor of the Bojun, and he did not hesitate to abolish the queen. As a result, the Northern Jue went to war against the Great Zhou.

Ah!Chong Yi raised the corners of his mouth and sneered. The rumor was somewhat interesting, squinted his eyes, and pinched the imperial decree that had been prepared on the imperial case: "Send me, go to the prison!"

The emperor drove up, and everyone in Peony Palace exclaimed!

"Come on! There are assassins!"

"Hurry up and protect the empress!"

The princess got married in the morning, and assassins broke into the heavily guarded palace tonight, and the queen almost died.

If the queen is killed tonight, not only will the princess' wedding be impossible in the morning, but more importantly, the death of the queen will further confirm the rumor. No matter how shaken the military spirit is, it is difficult to stabilize it.

"Check it out, who is the assassin?!"

In the Peony Palace, Haishu's pearls and hairpins are all gone, plain clothes and elegant clothes, her always beautiful appearance has lost color, she never thought that the moment she thought she was going to die, it would be the man she loves and ruthless who saved her.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the concubine die?"

Chong Yi's expression was cold, "The rumors that your brother sent troops for you are spreading all over the world. Now that you want to die, why don't you make a deal with me?"

Haishu looked sad: "The emperor really didn't care about Ashu's life or death."

Zhong Yi frowned: "You will be interested in this deal. I can't give you another child. This deal is my compensation for breaking my promise."

Haishu was trembling all over, Ye Chongyi didn't touch her at all, the emperor had been doting on the empress for many days, and only she knew what kind of torment it was.She lowered her eyes and asked softly, with hatred in the question: "Your Majesty, your heart only belongs to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but for whom have you ever been half-moved?"

Zhong Yi was stunned, and squeezed the abolished imperial decree in his hand even tighter: "Yes!"

Haishu raised her eyes and smiled sadly: "Hahaha! That concubine wishes the emperor will never be loved!"

Chong Yi's expression was indifferent: "He really doesn't love me."

Haishu continued: "Your majesty doesn't know yet, the concubine told the empress dowager about the conspiracy of his elder brother and the young son of Miaonan, and now he is hanged in the prison room by the empress dowager for two days and two nights. Is there any life?"

A trace of panic flashed in Chong Yi's eyes, but he changed the subject: "I remember that Wen'er's birthday is on the sixteenth day of this month."

A seemingly casual gossip, Haishu suddenly laughed, "Wen'er is still so young, he doesn't understand anything, he is innocent!"

Chong Yi didn't take it seriously, and said with a fatherly voice: "Once this birthday is over, it's time for him to be sensible."

Hai Shu gritted her teeth: "Your Majesty, my concubine agrees to make a deal with you, and I just ask you to let Wen'er go."

Zhong Yi nodded in satisfaction: "That's very good."

Rong Lan was hanged for two whole days, her wrist was already numb from the pain, and she lost consciousness.He was dying in the gloomy sky prison torture room, recalling everything that happened in the past three or two days, and felt that Chong Yi and Chong Yi's mother were not wrong.

Rong Lan thought, he occupied the magpie's nest in the game, although he didn't do those things, but nine out of ten it was planned by the original Rong Lan, what's wrong with Chong Yi and the queen mother for treating him like this?

He has taken over his identity, so naturally he has to bear all the consequences!

Chong Yi still believed in the lie he said that he would leave behind, and was reluctant to let him go if he wanted to abolish the queen for him.

In fact, it is normal to act like the Queen Mother.

Rong Lan doesn't blame anyone, all his grievances are only aimed at the system master who cheated people to death!

The system has the right time and place, but never fulfills its duties, never tells him anything, treats him like a novel reader every time, and this time it is only at the end of the game that he is not allowed to know these explosive "truths". Play a good routine!

Let him know this earlier, so that he won't take the blame and suffer this crime!

Rong Lan took a deep breath, and was so eager to see Chong Yi for the first time, whether he would survive to return to reality, all hope rested on Chong Yi's crippled queen, and the queen mother would definitely be stricter than before However, he is still willing to believe in Zhong Yi, he has no choice, he has to believe in the protagonist Gong he chose.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and two figures flashed into the prison. The jailers in the prison were all half asleep and nodding their heads, when they saw one of the two masked men wave their hands, and a mist of rice was scattered, and the jailers fell down one after another.

"This way." It was a woman who spoke. She lowered her voice and signaled the people behind to follow. In order to prevent someone from robbing the prison, there are many traps in the prison. If you are not careful, you will be poisoned or a thousand arrows will pierce your heart.

Rong Xuan nodded, "The princess is so kind, Rong Xuan will definitely repay you in the future!"

Zhong Die paused: "You and I are going to be husband and wife, your brother is also my brother, I hope you didn't lie to me, he was really framed and has no intention of returning to the country, otherwise I would have become a sinner of Dazhou. "

While the two were talking, they entered the torture room where the felon was interrogated. There was a man hanging in the middle of the room. The man's head was lowered, and he didn't look up when he heard someone coming. He was obviously unconscious.

"Xiaolan—"

Rong Xuan was shocked, Chongdie swiftly opened the shackles, and the man fell straight into Rong Xuan's arms.

Suddenly a blue light flashed!

"You're not Xiaolan!"

That person jumped up from Rong Xuan's arms like a ghost, and the poisoned dagger went straight to Rong Xuan's gate of life!

"Be careful!" Chongdie stepped forward to block it.

Rong Xuan's face darkened, he lifted the sword sideways and knocked the dagger away, then pulled the heavy butterfly again, took off the black scarf on her face, and looked at the person who appeared outside the execution room at some time: "Mo Xuan, I didn't expect you The master even uses his own sister."

Outside the execution room, Mo Xuan stood with a sneer, and dozens of masters behind him were ready to attack: "Forcing you to marry the princess, pretending to surrender, and deceiving others, the younger brother you love with all your heart is using you!"
