I can't, I can't

At the same time, Kang Jiangxue was in the court. He almost didn't sleep last night. After Sheng Lingyu fell asleep, he stayed with Sheng Lingyu for a long time. He didn't really leave until the courtiers began to enter the palace at dawn.

When he left, Sheng Lingyu held onto his shirt and refused to let go, so Kang Jiangxue had to take off the whole shirt.Ping Wuqi was afraid that the little emperor would catch a cold again, and that his illness would get worse just after his illness improved, so he forced the little emperor to eat a lot of food.

Eat even if you can't take it, and take another bowl of medicine after you finish eating.

I don't know whether it was the ordinary efforts that played a role, or whether the little emperor really survived the disease with his will. Although Kang Jiangxue didn't sleep all night and was exhausted physically and mentally, the morning court this day followed from beginning to end. After coming down, Kang Jiangxue clearly listened to every word said by all the civil and military officials present.

It was also this early court that made Kang Jiangxue realize very clearly what kind of place the court he had never wanted to set foot in was.

That is the battlefield.

A battlefield where no gunpowder smoke can be seen but is extremely cruel.

The debate started when Fu Honglang, who was dressed in red, moved to the queen mother's side, and someone among the officials suddenly stood up and raised the suggestion that the little emperor should be the queen mother.

The little emperor is at this age, and there should have been some movement on the matter of becoming a queen, and the eldest princess has already had a candidate who is beneficial to her faction, so she immediately answered the words intentionally or unintentionally: "This palace also has this intention, Your Majesty should indeed become a queen, but the rebellion has not been completely subsided, so it is inappropriate to bring up this matter now?"

The courtier replied: "At this moment, the people in the imperial city are in panic, and they need major events to show the royal dignity and stabilize people's hearts. It seems abrupt after standing up, but it is actually in line with public opinion."

The minister who replied was usually a neutral faction, and the topic that everyone was interested in raised was a topic that everyone was interested in. The eldest princess took advantage of the situation and asked, "Then, does the Qing family have anyone to recommend?"

At the same time as she asked this question, the eldest princess coughed lightly. Among the officials present, many people immediately straightened their backs, ready to go.

These people belong to the eldest princess's faction. Although Yang Huo went out to hunt down the rebel party and was not in the capital, there were quite a few of them. They knew what the eldest princess meant, and they all knew that the queen's position was very important. It is the central position to balance the faction of the eldest princess and the faction of the queen mother.

This position has been shelved for a long time. On the surface, it seems that the reason is that the little emperor is so ridiculous that he does not want to be a queen and that there are no famous girls who want to marry into the middle palace. In fact, it is because both the eldest princess and the queen mother want to insert their own people but cannot. An agreement was reached, which made the title of queen empty until now.

Now that the Empress Dowager matter is brought up in the court, neither the Eldest Princess nor the others are sure whether this person has the orders from the Empress Dowager's faction, but both of them are well prepared for this matter, even if it is mentioned, they will not panic.

The conflict was about to break out, and the eldest princess thought about the candidates for the noble ladies in the imperial city several times in her mind.

However, what she never expected was that the courtier knelt on the ground, and what he said caught everyone present by surprise.

The courtier said: "I recommend that Sheng Lingxi, the granddaughter of the former Duke of Sheng, be named queen. This girl is beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and she is the orphan of the Sheng family. She is an excellent candidate."

As soon as this remark came out, the eldest princess frowned, and her expression changed almost instantly. Her first reaction was to look at the Fuhong medicine on the other side, but the latter's reaction was flat, showing neither surprise nor pride. Fu Honglang, the uncle beside Fu Hongyao, lit his pipe and smiled slightly at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess prepared a lot, but she never thought that there would be such a development. She immediately determined that the idea of ​​Lisheng's daughter as queen must have come from the Fu brothers and sisters, but she didn't understand why...

This is so absurd, so absurd that it is completely incomprehensible.

The Sheng family has no use value now, so they put such a useless pawn in the queen's position. Could it be that they would rather neither side get it than let the other side get it?

The eldest princess was very confused, but her opinion was very firm. She immediately reprimanded: "Bold, the Sheng family has been ransacked and exterminated, and both men and women are of humble origin. How dare you recommend a woman of humble origin to be His Majesty's queen? What is it?" What is your intention? You are despising Tianwei!"

After the eldest princess finished speaking, another five or six people stood up and lashed out at the person who made the suggestion, almost calling for someone to pull him out of the court.

But at this moment, there was an astonishingly large-scale counterattack among the officials. Suddenly, more than [-] people stood up one after another among the officials. They knelt down one by one and said firmly: "The ministers agree This move, setting up the daughter of the Sheng family as a queen, is a good way to show the power of heaven to the country and the people."

The eldest princess's expression moved slightly, and then, the kneeling courtiers began to speak generously, and began to cry bitterly. They joined together and occupied most of the right to speak in the court. They mourned the dead Sheng Guogong and counted Sheng Hui He praised his contribution to Dingchao for more than [-] years.

They burst into tears, all praising Sheng Guogong, saying that Sheng Guogong has high morals, that Sheng Guogong is for the country and the people, and that it is a pity that Sheng Guogong ended up so innocent in his life.

That scene was so ironic that Kang Jiangxue's heart felt chills just looking at it.

One day ago, in the Taimiao, it was this group of people who watched indifferently when Sheng Guogong's tablet was thrown to the ground, and remained indifferent when Sheng Lingyu was about to cry for blood and only wanted justice.But at this moment when Fu Honglang needed someone to stand up and pave the way for the little emperor to become a heir, they suddenly began to sing praises, and one after another made a name for Shengguo.

Who would have imagined that Qing Ming, who couldn't even ask for it, would be restored in just one morning.So simple, so casual, as if what Sheng Guogong really did in his life is not important, what is important is that in this place, what they say is black is black, and what they say is white is white.

No...it's not them, it's Fu Honglang.

Kang Jiangxue already understood that if Fu Honglang wanted Duke Sheng to be a loyal minister, he was a loyal minister, and if Fu Honglang wanted Duke Sheng to be a traitor, then he was a traitor.

Right and wrong are in the hands of those in power.

This morning, Kang Jiangxue felt the power of Fu Honglang for the first time. In the past, he only had a vague impression, but this time he really saw Fu Honglang messing around in the court. wind and cloud.The red-clothed figure was smoking a cigarette behind the bead curtain, his attitude that the world had nothing to do with him was in stark contrast to the heated debate in the court.

But it was him who created the current situation in just one night after agreeing to the little emperor.

With Fu Honglang in power, he has more power than Kang Jiangxue imagined.

In the middle of the debate, the eldest princess' face changed drastically. Her cold face was not only because the officials who disagreed with her made the argument that "Li Sheng's orphans will not chill the hearts of loyal ministers", but also because she suddenly realized that Fu's There are suddenly many more brothers and sisters in the court than she usually thought.

She always thought that the power of the Fu brothers and sisters was on par with her own, but she never thought that in this struggle for empress dowager, many things that the eldest princess hadn't discovered before were suddenly exposed. People who thought they were neutral factions were on the empress dowager's side. , The person who thought it was him did not stand up and speak up.

She has always regarded the queen's position as the balance point between the two sides, but it turned out that the balance had been broken unknowingly long ago, and it was only revealed until today.

At this time, there is still something that the eldest princess can't understand. She knows very well that the queen's position can no longer be retained, but she is unwilling to do so, and she doesn't understand why the Fu brothers and sisters risked their strength to push Sheng to the queen. bit.

The eldest princess was displeased, and when the ending was about to come to an end, she asked the little emperor, "What do you think, Your Majesty? Is your Majesty willing to make the Sheng family his queen?"

The eldest princess didn't know that the little emperor was the one who really asked to marry the Sheng family, so she intended to hear some disapproval from the little emperor, and didn't want the little emperor to say: "Yes."

The eldest princess was not happy at the moment, and heard the little emperor say: "The Sheng family is innocent, devoted to the country, benefiting the people, and worthy of any glory."

Hearing these words, the eldest princess looked sideways. It was hard to imagine that the little emperor could say such words, but the content of the words was consistent with what the courtiers shouted just now. The eldest princess only thought that the little emperor stood by the queen mother and said something What I just heard from someone else.

Things have come to this, the situation is one-sided, the eldest princess can only suffer from this dark loss, and said with a sneer: "Then I don't have any objections, the audience is from the Qing family."

When all the dust settled, civil and military officials accepted the young emperor Li Sheng's daughter with different moods, and the court began to shout long live, but Kang Jiangxue bowed her head silently, hiding the flash of emotion in her eyes.

He finally said the sentence owed to Sheng Lingyu.

It's a pity that it's a day late.

It's a pity that it is still drifting with the tide, and no one cares.

There has never been a precedent for a daughter who has been demoted to a lowly status as an empress. The courtiers achieved this result under the impetus of Fu Honglang covering the sky with his hands, but the etiquette regulations are very complicated, and the early court had to carry out more half an hour.

It is inevitable to mention Xie Cheng'an who is at large. Sheng Lingxi was established as queen because of his grandfather's honor, but his father is a real traitor after all.In order to cut off the ties between the Sheng family and Xie Chengan, the ministers suggested waiting for Xie Chengan to be arrested and brought back to the capital, where he would be executed by Ling Chi in public, and the queen would watch the execution in person.

No matter how you feel in your heart, this condition cannot be refused, Kang Jiangxue can only respond: "Yes."

The morning court just ended here, the eldest princess threw up her sleeves and left full of resentment, Kang Jiangxue ignored the others, and was accompanied by Ping Wuqi out of the palace gate.

The sky outside the hall was brightly lit, and the Sun of Newborn was hanging high in the sky, emitting a dazzling light.

Kang Jiangxue blocked the sunlight with her hands, and said to herself, "It's over."

Ping Wuqi replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After Qin Tianjian counted the good times, the little emperor welcomed Sheng Lingxi into the middle palace. From then on, the daughter of the Sheng family was the queen of the main palace, and no one would mention the word "cheap Ji" again.

Whether it's Sheng Lingyu or Sheng Lingxi, they can hold their heads up high and return to the sunshine again.

Kang Jiangxue put down her hands and said flatly, "Let's go."

Kang Jiangxue's home is Zhengyang Palace. Because he missed Sheng Lingyu in his heart, he didn't want to stay for a moment, but he stopped after taking a few steps.

Not far from him stood a man, wearing a three- or four-day old clothes, with his right hand drooping, and his black and blue short hair fluttering in the cold wind.

Sheng Lingyu looked at him from under the long steps, his face was pale, he stood up straight, but it made people feel precarious.

Kang Jiangxue took two quick steps down unconsciously, and asked softly, "...Why are you here?"
