I am a ruler in troubled times
Chapter 114
"... Qin this"
Eunuch Ruixiang raised his eyelids and looked at the pale Princess Zhaohe, "Princess Zhenguo, why don't you come to receive the order to thank you?"
Princess Zhaohe took two steps back subconsciously, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the empress dowager who was looking at her expressionlessly. , how could the first emperor leave such an imperial decree?"
Eunuch Rui Xiang smiled, "Princess Zhen Guo said jokingly, this old servant is not so old that he is so dizzy that he can even remember the words wrongly. When the late emperor passed away, you were the one who was most worried about you. He often said sorry to you on the sick bed. , this edict was drawn up long ago, and it has always been stored in the late emperor's favorite jade pillow."
"Bring it" a sharp and suppressed female voice came from above.
The officials of Yan who were also shocked by the content of this edict all raised their heads to look at Gaotai.
The Empress Dowager threw off Hong Qin's hand at some point, and walked back to the center of the high platform alone, looking at Eunuch Ruixiang...the eyes of the imperial decree in her hand were full of scarlet.
Hongqin trotted to Eunuch Ruixiang's side with her skirt in hand, and stretched out her hand to snatch the imperial decree from Eunuch Ruixiang.
However, Eunuch Ruixiang raised the imperial decree in time, so that the imperial decree and Hongqin's hand passed by.
He glanced at the queen mother first, then set his eyes on Hongqin who was still staring at the imperial decree, and said in a weird way, "Miss Hongqin, don't worry, first let Da Sima and King Jing verify the authenticity of the edict, and then take Go and have a look at the Empress Dowager, lest the Empress Dowager make... irreparable mistakes in a moment of excitement."
Da Sima and King Jing felt a strong sense of disobedience after hearing the content of this imperial edict.
Not to mention that Princess Showa has no merit or virtue, how can she be worthy of the word "zhenguo".
It is even more unreasonable to adopt King Fu to Princess Zhaohe.
After being called by Eunuch Ruixiang, they had no choice but to interrupt their thoughts. According to Eunuch Ruixiang's words, they first looked at the authenticity of the imperial decree.
When the two walked towards Eunuch Ruixiang, their footsteps were inexplicably heavy, and they both thought of the crazy actions of the Queen Mother when the third prince passed away.
Hongqin failed to snatch the imperial decree, and looked up at the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager didn't give Hongqin any more instructions, she seemed to be nailed in place, she didn't even blink her eyes, the black eyes were always fixed on the imperial decree in the hands of Eunuch Ruixiang, and moved with the movement of the imperial decree.
Hongqin has served the Queen Mother for many years, and has experienced many times when the Queen Mother is angry, but she has never seen the Queen Mother so penetrating.
She even felt that the Empress Dowager might jump down from the high platform at any time and tear the will to pieces herself.
After handing over the edict to King Jing and Da Sima, Eunuch Ruixiang tidied up his robes that were always open, and then walked towards Princess Showa who was full of confusion.
"Princess Dachang, the late emperor still has an oral order for you." Father-in-law Ruixiang bent down to Princess Zhaohe.
Hearing Grandpa Ruixiang's voice, Princess Zhaohe came back to her senses and realized that Grandpa Ruixiang was right in front of her.
"What are you going to do?" Princess Zhaohe stepped back half a step, looking at Eunuch Ruixiang warily.
Eunuch Ruixiang didn't mind Princess Zhaohe's rejection of him at all, he bent down again, and repeated in a good-tempered manner, "The late emperor still has an oral order for you."
Princess Showa bit her lower lip, looked up at the Empress Dowager's position, and immediately lowered her head as if she was burned when her eyes touched the Empress Dowager.
The reaction of Ruixiang's father-in-law when he was the princess of Showa was that he finally heard his words clearly.
He stared straight at Princess Zhaohe, and in order to let the obviously absent-minded Princess Zhaohe hear him clearly, Eunuch Ruixiang deliberately slowed down his speech, "Your Majesty learned from Aunt Huanyi that you always dream of King Fu Your Highness, who couldn't sleep at night, specially asked this old servant to go to the Princess's mansion to comfort you, 'You can't be resurrected after death, you have other children.'"
The word "Fu Wang" seems to be able to touch the switch of the Queen Mother anytime and anywhere.
The Empress Dowager turned her head slowly, and shifted her gaze, which had always been on the edict, to Father Ruixiang and Princess Zhaohe.
Eunuch Ruixiang seemed unable to feel the needle-like gaze on his back, and bowed down apologetically to Princess Showa, whose eyes were stained with horror, and continued, "It's a pity that this old slave was put under house arrest by King Ni, and I never saw the princess again. Princess, I don’t know if the eldest princess has woken up in the middle of the night because of her dream of His Royal Highness Fu Wang in recent years?” Sensing more and more eyes of various colors on her body, the face of the eldest princess Zhaohe became more and more flustered, and she suddenly raised her hand fiercely. He slapped Ruixiang's father-in-law ruthlessly, "How could the first emperor adopt King Fu to this palace? You must have forged the will and wanted to provoke my relationship with the emperor's wife."
Eunuch Ruixiang took two steps back in time, avoiding Princess Zhaohe's hand, and said to Princess Zhaohe with a ferocious expression, "I really don't know why the late Emperor adopted King Fu to you. After all, it's about you, Your Majesty." They are all handed over to Aunt Huanyi, but it is a pity that Aunt Huanyi has already been disposed of by the Empress Dowager."
Father-in-law Ruixiang didn't lie.
He served Emperor Qing for nearly 20 years, and he didn't know about Emperor Qing's struggle with Princess Zhaohe, let alone that Emperor Qing exchanged Princess Zhaohe's child with the Empress Dowager's child.
The son of Princess Showa became the third prince of the Empress Dowager.
The daughter of the Empress Dowager became Princess Yanqing of the Princess Palace.
Until Song Jinyu told Song Peiyu the letter left by Song Liangci, after Song Peiyu knew that the third prince was actually the child of Emperor Qing and Princess Zhaohe, he went to question Eunuch Ruixiang.
Father-in-law Ruixiang knew about it.
When he didn't know about this matter, he never felt that there was anything wrong with Emperor Qing's extraordinary love for Princess Zhaohe and Princess Yanqing. He only thought that Emperor Qing loved the house and his wife, and loved the noble concubine, so he would take special care of the concubine who had a good relationship with her. Princess Showa.
Knowing that the third prince is actually the child of Emperor Qing and Princess Zhaohe, clues that have been gradually forgotten emerged one after another.
Eunuch Ruixiang suddenly realized that the reason why he didn't know about this was because Emperor Qing used Aunt Huanyi every time he contacted Princess Zhaohe.
Fortunately, when he discovered that Aunt Huanyi always tried her best to drive him away, he thought that Aunt Huanyi wanted to support other eunuchs to fight for power with him.
It turned out to be to cover up the embarrassment of Emperor Qing and Princess Zhaohe.
The queen mother also thought of Aunt Huanyi because of the words of Ruixiang's father-in-law.
She didn't even pay attention to Father-in-law Ruixiang, so how could she care about a mere female official?
The queen mother didn't care when and how Aunt Huanyi died.
But the queen mother remembered that the old woman committed suicide by swallowing gold.
The Empress Dowager suddenly remembered Aunt Huanyi's unusual reaction when she was standing on Emperor Xiao's side and controlling Emperor Qing's bedroom.
All the other confidantes of Emperor Qing, including Father-in-law Ruixiang, scolded her for being a snake and a scorpion, but Aunt Huanyi suddenly laughed and shouted 'retribution' after she lost her mind.
retribution?
In everyone's eyes, she was deeply favored by Emperor Qing after she married into the Kingdom of Yan. When her son was alive, Emperor Qing never thought of appointing other princes as princes.
Emperor Qing even abolished his heir for her, and never thought about establishing a successor.
Why is it that Aunt Huanyi is the only one who laments retribution when other Qing emperor's confidantes are cursing her as a 'white-eyed wolf' and 'a terrible death'?
Aunt Huanyi was also the only one in Emperor Qing's confidant who chose to commit suicide.
So impatient to commit suicide, it was like trying to cover up something deliberately.
The episodes that she didn't care about at all back then kept churning in the Queen Mother's mind, and her gaze at Princess Showa gradually turned scarlet.
Princess Showa didn't notice that the queen mother was coming down from the high platform.
She put all her attention on Eunuch Ruixiang and tried her best to suppress all kinds of complicated emotions that she had after hearing the edict read out by Eunuch Ruixiang.
Only the strongest thought remained in Princess Showa's heart.
She wants Eunuch Ruixiang to die!
It must not be known that King Fu is actually her child.
Also can't let Fu Wang really adopt to her knees.
Otherwise, the entire Dachang Princess Mansion would not be able to survive.
Madness flashed in Princess Zhaohe's eyes, she suddenly picked up the long sword that fell from Prince Gong's hand to the ground not long ago, and slashed at Eunuch Ruixiang.
"How dare you confuse the public with false rumors, falsely pass on the last emperor's edict, and deliberately provoke this palace and the emperor's wife!"
Although Eunuch Ruixiang had been pampered and respected in Zhao Guodong Palace for many years, when he was young, he was proficient in bowing and horses, and he was even able to fight against Emperor Qing's guards without losing the wind.
Just avoiding the pursuit of Princess Showa is an easy task for him.
Da Sima and King Jing, who had repeatedly checked the edict dozens of times before completely dismantling it to find any violations, finally raised their heads amidst the commotion.
After the two exchanged glances several times, King Jing gritted his teeth and took the imperial decree and took half a step forward. Just as he was about to speak, a black shadow suddenly bumped into him, and the imperial decree in his hand was also unceremoniously taken away by the black shadow.
It's the queen mother who didn't know when she came down from the high platform.
The Empress Dowager's gaze was fixed on the two words 'Fu Wang' and 'Adoption', the blood in her eyes became more and more intense, and the strength in her hands became stronger and stronger, even tearing the imperial decree until it made the sound of cloth ripping.
Hongqin, who was guarding the queen mother, suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, there is something in the edict!"
The Empress Dowager followed Hongqin's fingers.
The silk and satin on the back of the imperial decree had been torn into obvious cracks, and a paper edge was exposed in the center of the crack.
The queen mother tore along the cracks in the imperial decree silk without hesitation, and pulled out the paper with the handwriting inside.
Hongqin frantically went to receive the imperial decree thrown out by the Queen Mother at will, but out of the corner of her eye, she could clearly see the content on the piece of paper in the Queen Mother's hand.
Only two short lines.
In this life, there are negative Qing and Fu'er, but I hope that in the next life I will not be negative.
Hongqin's eyes widened suddenly, and she raised her hand to cover the exclamation in her mouth.
There is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, but the place where it exists...
Hongqin quickly unfolded the imperial edict in her hand, yes, it was an imperial edict for Princess Showa.
She swallowed, and said in a voice that only she and the Queen Mother could hear, "My servant remembers that His Royal Highness King Fu and Princess Yanqing were born on the same day."
Since King Fu passed away, the queen mother did not allow Princess Yanqing to celebrate her birthday again.
"Hehe..." The queen mother suddenly let out a deep and creepy laugh, smoothed out the creases on the letter paper carefully, and put it away in her sleeve pocket.
Hongqin looked at the queen mother's slow movements, and the coolness rising from her back rushed straight to her forehead, and she couldn't help but glance at the position of Zhao Guo's envoy.
It took only a moment, but when Hongqin came back to her senses, she found that the Queen Mother was staring at her without blinking, and her scarlet and terrifying eyes had returned to their former agility.
Hongqin felt that the queen mother who seemed to be normal at this time was more terrifying than the queen mother who had a hideous expression just now.
She suppressed the urge to turn around and run away, showing a smile that was uglier than crying, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty?"
The queen mother made a 'hmm' sound, "Go and call Zhaohe, the Ai family has something to tell her."
Hongqin tightly pinched her palms, barely remembering how cautious she was in serving the queen mother on weekdays.
She is the queen mother's personal official, and she must put the queen mother first in everything.
"Niang Niang" Hongqin carefully helped the Empress Dowager's arm, and persuaded in a low voice, "Your majesty's funeral ceremony and the entry of the young prince of Prince Gong's mansion need to be handled by you today, why don't you go and rest first, recover your spirits, and come again Take care of other things."
The Queen Mother covered Hongqin's with her cold and slippery hand, and there was a soft smile in her voice, "Good boy, go and call Zhaohe."
There are Da Sima and King Jing not far away, and there are more people farther away, but Hongqin can only feel the oppression brought by the Queen Mother.
Hongqin took a deep breath, and held up her skirt to chase Princess Zhaohe, "Princess Dachang, the empress dowager wants to talk to you."
Princess Showa turned her head panting with her sword in hand, just in time to see the Empress Dowager standing alone.
The queen mother was holding the hairpin, and when she saw Princess Showa's gaze, she waved to Princess Showa, just like seeing Princess Showa in the Peace Palace on weekdays, and asked Princess Showa to talk to her quickly It seems that even the curvature of the smile on the corner of the mouth is the same as usual.
Princess Zhaohe's heart trembled, she turned her head abruptly, raised her sword again, gritted her teeth and said, "After I kill this traitor, I will hold his head and explain to the emperor's wife!"
King Jing coughed lightly, and said in a muffled voice, "Princess Eldest Princess might as well talk to the Empress Dowager first, and persuade the Empress Dowager to go and have a rest. The funeral ceremony and the young prince of Prince Gong's Mansion will continue to bother the Empress Dowager. I will carefully identify the authenticity of the edict, and will not let those who have the heart succeed."
Compared with the previous two edicts, the last edict that Eunuch Ruixiang produced was as small as a sesame seed.
If Princess Showa and the Empress Dowager are unwilling.
This is the "false" will.
It just so happened that the clan and courtiers didn't want the Princess Zhen Guo to appear in the court hall after the Queen Mother Regent.
While King Jing was speaking, Da Sima had already asked the guards in the corner to gag and hold Eunuch Rui Xiang down, obviously also on the side of Princess Showa and the Empress Dowager.
Princess Showa's expression changed several times, the hand holding the sword was loosened and clenched again, and her brows and eyes were deeply entangled.
She can understand the deep meaning in King Jing's words, but she still wants to solve the troubles of Father Ruixiang's eternal life immediately, but she is afraid that her persevering attitude will make people more suspicious.
For a while, there was a dilemma.
When Princess Showa was silent, Hongqin tentatively took the sword from Princess Showa's hand, and gently pushed Princess Showa towards the Queen Mother.
Undecided Princess Showa walked forward with the strength of Hongqin, tears quickly overflowed from her eyes, and her steps became faster and faster. When she trotted in front of the Queen Mother, tears could already drip down her round chin to the skirt of her clothes .
Princess Zhaohe looked down at the Empress Dowager, who was much shorter than her, with her face full of tears, "Sister-in-law, the late emperor must not be so confused as to leave such a will. There must be villains who want to provoke our relationship. You must not be fooled."
The Queen Mother continued to wave to Princess Showa, signaling that Princess Showa could go further, "Come here with your ear, I have something to say to you."
Princess Showa was full of suspicion, but she dared not listen to the queen mother at this time.
The Empress Dowager put one hand on Princess Showa's shoulder, and put her feet close to Princess Showa's ear, "Yanqing has the same birthmark as me, doesn't it?"
Many years ago, after the palace people around the Queen Mother went to take care of Princess Yanqing, they specifically said that they saw marks similar to those of the Queen Mother on Princess Yanqing.
The Empress Dowager also specially stayed Princess Yanqing to take a bath in her palace, and went to see it herself.
Princess Yanqing did have a mark on her back, which was also in the same location as the birthmark on the Empress Dowager's body, but it was not a butterfly-shaped birthmark, but a burn.
The Empress Dowager recalled that not long after Yanqing was born, the Princess's Mansion had indeed dealt with a few nurses because the Princess was scalded, so she didn't take this matter to heart, and she didn't tell anyone about it.
Now when I think about this past event again, I feel that there is no place in my internal organs that does not hurt.
Panic flashed in Princess Zhaohe's eyes, but her mouth was quicker than her brain, "How is it possible? Auntie Huang can ask Yanqing to undress for you."
The Empress Dowager saw all the changes in Princess Showa's expression, the smile at the corner of her mouth became brighter, and she could vaguely see the sweetness of her youth.
She exerted force on her hands, coaxing Princess Zhaohe in a soft voice, "Okay, okay, it's all villains with ulterior motives trying to provoke us, I still have something to say to you."
Princess Zhaohe closed her mouth, but the sullenness between her brows did not dissipate, as if she was really chilled by the empress dowager's misunderstanding.
Even though her face showed dissatisfaction, Princess Showa did not forget to support the Empress Dowager's waist, so that the Empress Dowager would not be able to stand firmly after stepping on her feet.
"Showa" the warm breath of the empress dowager vomited into the ear of Princess Zhaohe, "Actually, the person who smothered the late emperor was not Ni Wang, but me, because I found that he had moved his mind and wanted to be young, beautiful and pregnant." Concubine Li is the successor."
Princess Zhaohe's eyes flashed with confusion first, and then she was shocked and angry. She grabbed the empress dowager's shoulder and pushed the empress dowager away, "How do you..." Dare!
The sudden severe pain stopped Princess Showa's words abruptly, and she lowered her head dully.
A beautifully carved nine-tailed phoenix hairpin was inserted on the bright red gorgeous court dress. The hands holding the phoenix hairpin were white and tender, like the hands of a little girl in her prime.
The queen mother let go of the hand holding the phoenix hairpin, and pushed heavily on Princess Showa's shoulder, and wiped the blood stains on Princess Showa's clothes by the way, but her voice was completely opposite to her movements. "Don't worry, your family will accompany you immediately."
Except for a small number of generals, most people only found out what the Queen Mother had done after seeing Princess Showa fell to the ground with a phoenix hairpin stuck in her chest.
Before the courtiers could ask questions, the Empress Dowager had already taken out her handkerchief and continued to wipe her hands while she said, "Zhaohe and Mr. Ruixiang forged the last emperor's edict. His mother's family, husband's family, eldest son's wife's family."
With a smile on her face, Princess Yanqing fell to the ground with a pale face. The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, turned her head expressionlessly, and said with clangs, "Immediate execution."
The white handkerchief stained with this large bloodstain fell gently, covering the eyes of Princess Showa full of eagerness and hatred evenly.
"Mr. Xue!" King Jing held his chest, staring at the Queen Mother fiercely, "The veracity of the will has not yet been determined, how dare you..." Before finishing a sentence, King Jing rolled his eyes several times, Thanks to Da Sima's timely support, he didn't fall to the ground.
"How dare you harm the royal family at will?!" King Jing propped himself on the ground with one hand, and almost only his voice was left in his voice at the end of this sentence.
Following King Jing's words, everyone finally dared to believe that the Empress Dowager killed Princess Zhaohe on the spot out of a fit of anger.
The people in Princess Zhaohe's mansion also recovered from their sluggishness, and rushed towards Princess Showa with a bloodstained veil on her face.
Unfortunately it was too late.
Princess Showa has died completely.
Chen Yanzhou turned around and rushed towards the Queen Mother, "I'll kill you!"
Chen Guo's envoys immediately rushed over to protect the Queen Mother behind him, and the Nanyang County King unceremoniously drew his sword and directly separated Chen Yanzhou's corpse.
None of the officials of Yan in the palace expected that the Queen Mother and the envoys of the State of Chen would dare to be so arrogant in the State of Yan.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Even the guards in the corners of the hall just rushed out of the crowd and drew their swords, but their faces were blank after drawing their swords.
The King of Nanyang glanced across the faces of the Yan officials who were full of disbelief, and said nonchalantly, "Didn't my aunt tell you to execute the people in Princess Zhaohe's mansion immediately? Xiao Wang will help you, there is no need polite."
The Yan officials couldn't bear the arrogant attitude of the Nanyang County King anyway, and immediately shouted "come" and cursed at the Nanyang County King.
It's a pity that the Yanchens shouted for a long time and no one came outside, instead there was a louder noise than inside the hall.
Even the guards in the main hall were divided into two, standing behind the Queen Mother and Yan Chen headed by Da Sima.
Yan Chen's complexion suddenly changed.
Until now, they still don't understand that the arrogance of the Queen Mother and Nanyang County King is nothing to fear.
Song Peiyu had long deduced from various clues that the Empress Dowager and Chen Guoguo used all the power that Chen Guo had managed in Yan State for many years on the day of Emperor Xiao's birthday banquet.
Therefore, Zhao Guo, Xi Liang, and Chu Guo's envoys, among all the people who came to the hall to participate in Emperor Xiao's birthday, except for Song Peiyu, it is no problem that one can be ten.
After Ping Zhang and the others and the guards of King Liang and King Xiang had already caused chaos in the hall, they quietly came behind Chong Yi and the others.
Not long after the confrontation, a blood-stained bodyguard from the Kingdom of Yan entered the door, but the leader went straight to the queen mother, "The escort is late, please forgive me the queen mother."
The Empress Dowager curled up her mouth, and pointed her finger painted with Kodan in the direction where Yan Chen gathered, "Princess Zhaohe and Eunuch Ruixiang forged the last emperor's edict, and the three tribes of Yi will be executed immediately. Anyone who obstructs them will be regarded as a crime and will be killed."
Da Sima looked at the guards who were about to rush over after the Queen Mother's order with a pale face, and recognized them as people from Daying in the suburbs of Beijing through their clothes.
"The camp in the suburbs of Beijing has always only obeyed the orders of the emperor. Are you going to violate the rules left by your ancestors?" Da Sima snapped.
As soon as Da Sima finished speaking, the Empress Dowager grabbed many metal plaques from her sleeve pockets and threw them on the ground, which were the tokens of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
The Empress Dowager looked at the angry Yan officials with a smile on her face, "The emperor has passed away, and the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne. The Ai family has the last emperor's edict to entrust the regent, and they have a token in their hands that can order the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. The camp must listen to the orders of the Ai family."
"Are you the princess of Chen country or the empress dowager of Yan country?" Da Sikong, who was guarded by Da Sima behind him, sneered.
The Queen Mother was not questioned by Da Sikong, she simply ignored Da Sikong, "General Su still doesn't obey orders?"
Because of the conversation between Da Sima and the Queen Mother, the general of the Daying in the suburbs of Beijing who stopped for a while nodded silently, and led people to approach the officials of the Yan Kingdom again.
Da Sima's face turned blue and then white, but he knew that it would be useless to waste any more words at this time.
He just asked whether the queen mother is the princess of Chen country or the empress dowager of Yan country, just to remind the people in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
The people in Daying in the suburbs of Beijing were unmoved, presumably they had been bought by the Queen Mother a long time ago, and they were completely loyal to the Queen Mother.
The second group of people soon poured into the hall. It was Chen Jun who followed the king of Nanyang County to stay in the Qingshan Palace. The number of people was nearly 2000, and the originally empty hall was packed to the brim.
There was no need for further instructions from the Queen Mother, the Chen army who entered the hall was divided into two, and rushed to Yan Chen and Zhao Guo's envoy respectively.
The target of Chen Jun rushing towards Yan Chen was the clan of Yan State and important ministers of Yan State, and the target of Chen Jun rushing towards the envoy of Zhao State was Chong Yi as expected by Song Peiyu.
As the empress dowager's thorn in the side, Song Peiyu was completely ignored. Under the protection of Ping Zhang and others, Song Peiyu watched Chong's swift and flowing...beheading.
Because the scene of Chong Yi's action was too bloody and terrifying, Chen Jun, who had been rushing forward to the position of Zhao Guo's envoy, froze for a moment, and even took several steps back to collide with the people behind him.
Seeing this, the king of Nanyang County immediately yelled, "Whoever can take the head of Zhong Yixiang will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels, and I will be named Zhong Yongbo!"
Under the reward, there must be a brave man.
Not only did Chen Jun, who was about to shrink back, swarmed up again, but even many people in Yan Guo's uniform tried to get close to Chong Yi.
Song Peiyu's eyes passed through the shadows of swords and swords in the hall, and he looked at the queen mother very calmly, with pity flashing in his eyes, and he made a clear mouth shape of "it's a pity".
He guessed that Xue Lin should have given the queen mother two goals, and it was also the price of Chen Guo's full support for the queen mother.
Take control of the government of Yan State with the honor of the Empress Dowager, or leave Chong Yi in Yan State forever today.
The Empress Dowager can control the time when Chen Guo takes action, but she has no right to stop it.
Once the swords and swords are facing each other, or if Chen Guo slaughters all the important officials and clans of Yan Guo, the Queen Mother will use the "Emperor Qing's Legacy" to whitewash the peace and find a young emperor who is easy to control to take over as regent.
Otherwise, the vitality of the Yan Kingdom would be severely damaged, and the major families would spontaneously attack the Queen Mother.
But if the Queen Mother cannot suppress Yan's family to accept her as regent after being outraged by the public in Yan, she will only die.
Chen Guoguo used the queen mother to achieve his goal, but he would not allow the princess who was "rested" to return to the country.
Before the Empress Dowager took action against Princess Showa, everything that happened, whether it was for the Empress Dowager or Chen Guo, went smoothly beyond expectations.
The Empress Dowager cleverly designed the deaths of Emperor Xiao and Prince Gong, and also made the officials of Yan accept her as the Empress Dowager Regent.
The most important thing is that the Empress Dowager accomplished these things on her own, and did not make the officials of Yan feel dissatisfied with Chen Guo behind her.
Next, the Empress Dowager only needs to keep a low profile and wait for the edict of Emperor Qing to be announced to the public. After becoming the Empress Dowager Regent, the Empress Dowager can easily control half of Yan Kingdom.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother still fell short at the last minute.
She did something absolutely intolerable to the courtiers of the Yan Kingdom, killing the clan of the Yan Kingdom 'for no reason'. She is still the Princess Showa who has both seniority and power in the Yan Kingdom.
Today the Empress Dowager can take action against Princess Showa without any scruples, and in the future she will be able to take action against other clans and even important officials of the Yan Kingdom.
Now Chen Jun, who came to the country of Yan in the name of an envoy, acted recklessly in the country of Yan, reminding everyone that the queen mother is not only the queen mother of the country of Yan, but also the princess of the country of Chen.
How could the Yan Kingdom tolerate such a 'cruel' and 'not my race' regent empress dowager.
The phoenix hairpin that the Queen Mother stabbed on Princess Showa's chest not only killed Princess Showa, but also ruined her own future with her own hands.
The noise outside is getting louder and louder. The Empress Dowager's control over the camp in the suburbs of Beijing is limited after all. It is already the limit to be able to separate less than a thousand people into the hall while holding back the Yan army outside. There are less than 3000 Chen Jun in total.
The first unlucky ones were the people from the Zhaohe Dachang Princess's Mansion, who were immediately blood splattered on the spot.
Even Princess Yanqing, who happened to be beside Da Sima, couldn't escape the pursuit, was slashed on the neck with a knife, and fell limply.
Song Peiyu's eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously looked at the Queen Mother.
The queen mother was still looking at him, so that he could meet the queen mother's eyes as soon as he turned his head.
He couldn't see any emotion from the empress dowager's expression or eyes, but he could only be sure that the empress dowager's expression looking at him at this moment was exactly the same as the expression on the showa dazhang princess before she shot her.
Song Peiyu was suddenly a little uncertain that the Queen Mother would kill Princess Showa immediately if she gave up the future.
Is it because he noticed the change of son through various clues, or simply couldn't bear the "will" to adopt King Fu to Princess Showa.
When the Queen Mother saw Song Peiyu and shook her head again, she woke up from the hallucination.
When she saw Song Peiyu say "it's a pity" to her, she suddenly burst into anger that almost wiped her mind away. After biting the tip of her tongue to resist the feeling of dizziness, she suddenly found that her Fu'er came back to life, standing in the shadow of swords and swords Then smile at her.
The Queen Mother stared at her Fu'er obsessively, and was about to run over desperately, but saw Fu'er shaking her head and turning into another face.Thinking of who she regarded as Fu'er, the Queen Mother couldn't help but bent down and retched, grabbed Nanyang County King by her side, and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget your promise to Ai's family."
Anxiety and impatience flashed in Nanyang Junwang's eyes.
The purpose of his coming to the country of Yan is to kill Chong Yi, the crown prince of Zhao country, not to capture Song Peiyu and hand it over to the queen mother to vent her anger.
If Song Peiyu can really be caught, bring Song Peiyu back to Chen Guo, and slowly get things out of Song Peiyu's mouth, it is far better than handing Song Peiyu to the Queen Mother.
It has long been heard that Prince Zhao Chongyi is heroic and extraordinary, but the Nanyang County King never thought that "one enemy against a hundred" is not an exaggeration.
Only a quarter of an hour passed, and there were at least a hundred people whose corpses were separated under Chong Yi's hands.
Can't go on like this!
Not only because of Chong Yi's appearance of being possessed by the god of war, Chen Jun's morale is getting lower and lower.
If killing Chongyi would cost most of the manpower, how could they escape back to Chen State when Yan State reacted and mobilized surrounding troops to defend Luoyang?
The king of Nanyang County grabbed the queen mother's hand that was almost in his arm and shook it off, and yelled again, "Kill the prince of Zhao Guo Chong Yi, reward 10 taels, and seal ten thousand households!"
The Nanyang County King's voice hadn't finished completely, when he suddenly felt a cold white light flashing across his eyes, and then he had a severe headache and fell down straight.
Before closing his eyes completely, the King of Nanyang County saw many people pouring into the entrance of the main hall.
These people are all wearing the clothes of the Yan army, but they are not the guards of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing or the Qingshan Palace. They all have the word "village" embroidered on their cuffs.
It is the garrison of the village and county.
However, it took at least half a day for the villages and counties to go to the Qingshan Palace. In addition to the process of deploying troops, it would take a whole day to get to the Qingshan Palace.
How could the village and county garrisons come so quickly?
Because the attention was on the Queen Mother, Song Peiyu happened to see the whole process of the death of Nanyang County King in his eyes.
After Nanyang County King roared loudly, Chong Yi threw the long sword over, and pierced Nanyang County King's forehead impartially.
Seeing the village and county garrisons rushing in from the entrance of the main hall, Song Peiyu knew that it was the work of those old foxes in Yan Kingdom.
He put his hands around his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted, "The king of Nanyang County is dead! Brothers, retreat!"
Chen Jun's movements were not as smooth as before, and they all turned their heads to find the position of Nanyang County King. Together with Chong Yi, who was always overwhelmed by the crowd, a large area was immediately vacant beside him.
Song Peiyu ran over and grabbed Chong Yi's hand, "Let's go!"
Chong Yi's black robe was already covered with stickiness, and a dark red patch appeared immediately on Song Peiyu's neat red dress.
He looked down at the dark red patch, threw his outer robe on the ground, held Song Peiyu's hand while wearing only his dry middle coat, and strode out.
Zhao Guo's envoys, Liang Wang, Xiang Wang and others followed immediately, and even Duke Ruixiang was rescued from Yan Chen by Xiang Yun, changed his clothes, bowed his head and chest, mixed with Zhao Guo's envoys and rushed out.
Hongqin dragged the Queen Mother, who had passed out after Nanyang County King shouted that sentence, and was rolling her eyes and twitching, to a position near the door.
When Zhao Guo's envoys passed by them, they also took the Queen Mother and Hong Qin with them.
A group of people followed Chong Yi, and returned to the place where Zhao Guo's envoys stayed in the Qingshan Palace from a particularly remote path, no matter whether they were people from Zhao Guo, Xiliang or Chu, they were all ready to go.
Just waiting for the people who came back from the main hall to mount their horses, they immediately rushed out of the Qingshan Palace and headed straight for Mo County on the Zhao-Yan border.
On the way, Yinbao told Song Peiyu that the queen mother was already very angry.
Ask Song Peiyu if he needs medicine to hang the queen mother's life.
Song Peiyu refused without hesitation.
They wanted to return to the border of Zhao Yan immediately, and it was impossible to waste time for the Queen Mother.
The medicine that can hang life is even rarer, so how could it be wasted on the Queen Mother?
If the Queen Mother survived to the Zhao Kingdom, she would press her to go to Song Liangci's memorial tablet, comfort Song Liangci's spirit in heaven, and relieve Song Jinyu's heart knot.
It can be regarded as a good arrangement for the Queen Mother to be so pissed off.
On the second day after rushing back to Zhao State day and night, the Queen Mother died silently.
After Song Peiyu heard the news, she was silent for a while, and ordered the empress dowager's body to be thrown into the woods near the official road.
Hongqin thought of being a master and a servant, and deliberately took off all the accessories on the queen mother's body and took them away, so that no one would look at Qian's eyes and offend the queen mother's body.
Eunuch Ruixiang raised his eyelids and looked at the pale Princess Zhaohe, "Princess Zhenguo, why don't you come to receive the order to thank you?"
Princess Zhaohe took two steps back subconsciously, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the empress dowager who was looking at her expressionlessly. , how could the first emperor leave such an imperial decree?"
Eunuch Rui Xiang smiled, "Princess Zhen Guo said jokingly, this old servant is not so old that he is so dizzy that he can even remember the words wrongly. When the late emperor passed away, you were the one who was most worried about you. He often said sorry to you on the sick bed. , this edict was drawn up long ago, and it has always been stored in the late emperor's favorite jade pillow."
"Bring it" a sharp and suppressed female voice came from above.
The officials of Yan who were also shocked by the content of this edict all raised their heads to look at Gaotai.
The Empress Dowager threw off Hong Qin's hand at some point, and walked back to the center of the high platform alone, looking at Eunuch Ruixiang...the eyes of the imperial decree in her hand were full of scarlet.
Hongqin trotted to Eunuch Ruixiang's side with her skirt in hand, and stretched out her hand to snatch the imperial decree from Eunuch Ruixiang.
However, Eunuch Ruixiang raised the imperial decree in time, so that the imperial decree and Hongqin's hand passed by.
He glanced at the queen mother first, then set his eyes on Hongqin who was still staring at the imperial decree, and said in a weird way, "Miss Hongqin, don't worry, first let Da Sima and King Jing verify the authenticity of the edict, and then take Go and have a look at the Empress Dowager, lest the Empress Dowager make... irreparable mistakes in a moment of excitement."
Da Sima and King Jing felt a strong sense of disobedience after hearing the content of this imperial edict.
Not to mention that Princess Showa has no merit or virtue, how can she be worthy of the word "zhenguo".
It is even more unreasonable to adopt King Fu to Princess Zhaohe.
After being called by Eunuch Ruixiang, they had no choice but to interrupt their thoughts. According to Eunuch Ruixiang's words, they first looked at the authenticity of the imperial decree.
When the two walked towards Eunuch Ruixiang, their footsteps were inexplicably heavy, and they both thought of the crazy actions of the Queen Mother when the third prince passed away.
Hongqin failed to snatch the imperial decree, and looked up at the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager didn't give Hongqin any more instructions, she seemed to be nailed in place, she didn't even blink her eyes, the black eyes were always fixed on the imperial decree in the hands of Eunuch Ruixiang, and moved with the movement of the imperial decree.
Hongqin has served the Queen Mother for many years, and has experienced many times when the Queen Mother is angry, but she has never seen the Queen Mother so penetrating.
She even felt that the Empress Dowager might jump down from the high platform at any time and tear the will to pieces herself.
After handing over the edict to King Jing and Da Sima, Eunuch Ruixiang tidied up his robes that were always open, and then walked towards Princess Showa who was full of confusion.
"Princess Dachang, the late emperor still has an oral order for you." Father-in-law Ruixiang bent down to Princess Zhaohe.
Hearing Grandpa Ruixiang's voice, Princess Zhaohe came back to her senses and realized that Grandpa Ruixiang was right in front of her.
"What are you going to do?" Princess Zhaohe stepped back half a step, looking at Eunuch Ruixiang warily.
Eunuch Ruixiang didn't mind Princess Zhaohe's rejection of him at all, he bent down again, and repeated in a good-tempered manner, "The late emperor still has an oral order for you."
Princess Showa bit her lower lip, looked up at the Empress Dowager's position, and immediately lowered her head as if she was burned when her eyes touched the Empress Dowager.
The reaction of Ruixiang's father-in-law when he was the princess of Showa was that he finally heard his words clearly.
He stared straight at Princess Zhaohe, and in order to let the obviously absent-minded Princess Zhaohe hear him clearly, Eunuch Ruixiang deliberately slowed down his speech, "Your Majesty learned from Aunt Huanyi that you always dream of King Fu Your Highness, who couldn't sleep at night, specially asked this old servant to go to the Princess's mansion to comfort you, 'You can't be resurrected after death, you have other children.'"
The word "Fu Wang" seems to be able to touch the switch of the Queen Mother anytime and anywhere.
The Empress Dowager turned her head slowly, and shifted her gaze, which had always been on the edict, to Father Ruixiang and Princess Zhaohe.
Eunuch Ruixiang seemed unable to feel the needle-like gaze on his back, and bowed down apologetically to Princess Showa, whose eyes were stained with horror, and continued, "It's a pity that this old slave was put under house arrest by King Ni, and I never saw the princess again. Princess, I don’t know if the eldest princess has woken up in the middle of the night because of her dream of His Royal Highness Fu Wang in recent years?” Sensing more and more eyes of various colors on her body, the face of the eldest princess Zhaohe became more and more flustered, and she suddenly raised her hand fiercely. He slapped Ruixiang's father-in-law ruthlessly, "How could the first emperor adopt King Fu to this palace? You must have forged the will and wanted to provoke my relationship with the emperor's wife."
Eunuch Ruixiang took two steps back in time, avoiding Princess Zhaohe's hand, and said to Princess Zhaohe with a ferocious expression, "I really don't know why the late Emperor adopted King Fu to you. After all, it's about you, Your Majesty." They are all handed over to Aunt Huanyi, but it is a pity that Aunt Huanyi has already been disposed of by the Empress Dowager."
Father-in-law Ruixiang didn't lie.
He served Emperor Qing for nearly 20 years, and he didn't know about Emperor Qing's struggle with Princess Zhaohe, let alone that Emperor Qing exchanged Princess Zhaohe's child with the Empress Dowager's child.
The son of Princess Showa became the third prince of the Empress Dowager.
The daughter of the Empress Dowager became Princess Yanqing of the Princess Palace.
Until Song Jinyu told Song Peiyu the letter left by Song Liangci, after Song Peiyu knew that the third prince was actually the child of Emperor Qing and Princess Zhaohe, he went to question Eunuch Ruixiang.
Father-in-law Ruixiang knew about it.
When he didn't know about this matter, he never felt that there was anything wrong with Emperor Qing's extraordinary love for Princess Zhaohe and Princess Yanqing. He only thought that Emperor Qing loved the house and his wife, and loved the noble concubine, so he would take special care of the concubine who had a good relationship with her. Princess Showa.
Knowing that the third prince is actually the child of Emperor Qing and Princess Zhaohe, clues that have been gradually forgotten emerged one after another.
Eunuch Ruixiang suddenly realized that the reason why he didn't know about this was because Emperor Qing used Aunt Huanyi every time he contacted Princess Zhaohe.
Fortunately, when he discovered that Aunt Huanyi always tried her best to drive him away, he thought that Aunt Huanyi wanted to support other eunuchs to fight for power with him.
It turned out to be to cover up the embarrassment of Emperor Qing and Princess Zhaohe.
The queen mother also thought of Aunt Huanyi because of the words of Ruixiang's father-in-law.
She didn't even pay attention to Father-in-law Ruixiang, so how could she care about a mere female official?
The queen mother didn't care when and how Aunt Huanyi died.
But the queen mother remembered that the old woman committed suicide by swallowing gold.
The Empress Dowager suddenly remembered Aunt Huanyi's unusual reaction when she was standing on Emperor Xiao's side and controlling Emperor Qing's bedroom.
All the other confidantes of Emperor Qing, including Father-in-law Ruixiang, scolded her for being a snake and a scorpion, but Aunt Huanyi suddenly laughed and shouted 'retribution' after she lost her mind.
retribution?
In everyone's eyes, she was deeply favored by Emperor Qing after she married into the Kingdom of Yan. When her son was alive, Emperor Qing never thought of appointing other princes as princes.
Emperor Qing even abolished his heir for her, and never thought about establishing a successor.
Why is it that Aunt Huanyi is the only one who laments retribution when other Qing emperor's confidantes are cursing her as a 'white-eyed wolf' and 'a terrible death'?
Aunt Huanyi was also the only one in Emperor Qing's confidant who chose to commit suicide.
So impatient to commit suicide, it was like trying to cover up something deliberately.
The episodes that she didn't care about at all back then kept churning in the Queen Mother's mind, and her gaze at Princess Showa gradually turned scarlet.
Princess Showa didn't notice that the queen mother was coming down from the high platform.
She put all her attention on Eunuch Ruixiang and tried her best to suppress all kinds of complicated emotions that she had after hearing the edict read out by Eunuch Ruixiang.
Only the strongest thought remained in Princess Showa's heart.
She wants Eunuch Ruixiang to die!
It must not be known that King Fu is actually her child.
Also can't let Fu Wang really adopt to her knees.
Otherwise, the entire Dachang Princess Mansion would not be able to survive.
Madness flashed in Princess Zhaohe's eyes, she suddenly picked up the long sword that fell from Prince Gong's hand to the ground not long ago, and slashed at Eunuch Ruixiang.
"How dare you confuse the public with false rumors, falsely pass on the last emperor's edict, and deliberately provoke this palace and the emperor's wife!"
Although Eunuch Ruixiang had been pampered and respected in Zhao Guodong Palace for many years, when he was young, he was proficient in bowing and horses, and he was even able to fight against Emperor Qing's guards without losing the wind.
Just avoiding the pursuit of Princess Showa is an easy task for him.
Da Sima and King Jing, who had repeatedly checked the edict dozens of times before completely dismantling it to find any violations, finally raised their heads amidst the commotion.
After the two exchanged glances several times, King Jing gritted his teeth and took the imperial decree and took half a step forward. Just as he was about to speak, a black shadow suddenly bumped into him, and the imperial decree in his hand was also unceremoniously taken away by the black shadow.
It's the queen mother who didn't know when she came down from the high platform.
The Empress Dowager's gaze was fixed on the two words 'Fu Wang' and 'Adoption', the blood in her eyes became more and more intense, and the strength in her hands became stronger and stronger, even tearing the imperial decree until it made the sound of cloth ripping.
Hongqin, who was guarding the queen mother, suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, there is something in the edict!"
The Empress Dowager followed Hongqin's fingers.
The silk and satin on the back of the imperial decree had been torn into obvious cracks, and a paper edge was exposed in the center of the crack.
The queen mother tore along the cracks in the imperial decree silk without hesitation, and pulled out the paper with the handwriting inside.
Hongqin frantically went to receive the imperial decree thrown out by the Queen Mother at will, but out of the corner of her eye, she could clearly see the content on the piece of paper in the Queen Mother's hand.
Only two short lines.
In this life, there are negative Qing and Fu'er, but I hope that in the next life I will not be negative.
Hongqin's eyes widened suddenly, and she raised her hand to cover the exclamation in her mouth.
There is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, but the place where it exists...
Hongqin quickly unfolded the imperial edict in her hand, yes, it was an imperial edict for Princess Showa.
She swallowed, and said in a voice that only she and the Queen Mother could hear, "My servant remembers that His Royal Highness King Fu and Princess Yanqing were born on the same day."
Since King Fu passed away, the queen mother did not allow Princess Yanqing to celebrate her birthday again.
"Hehe..." The queen mother suddenly let out a deep and creepy laugh, smoothed out the creases on the letter paper carefully, and put it away in her sleeve pocket.
Hongqin looked at the queen mother's slow movements, and the coolness rising from her back rushed straight to her forehead, and she couldn't help but glance at the position of Zhao Guo's envoy.
It took only a moment, but when Hongqin came back to her senses, she found that the Queen Mother was staring at her without blinking, and her scarlet and terrifying eyes had returned to their former agility.
Hongqin felt that the queen mother who seemed to be normal at this time was more terrifying than the queen mother who had a hideous expression just now.
She suppressed the urge to turn around and run away, showing a smile that was uglier than crying, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty?"
The queen mother made a 'hmm' sound, "Go and call Zhaohe, the Ai family has something to tell her."
Hongqin tightly pinched her palms, barely remembering how cautious she was in serving the queen mother on weekdays.
She is the queen mother's personal official, and she must put the queen mother first in everything.
"Niang Niang" Hongqin carefully helped the Empress Dowager's arm, and persuaded in a low voice, "Your majesty's funeral ceremony and the entry of the young prince of Prince Gong's mansion need to be handled by you today, why don't you go and rest first, recover your spirits, and come again Take care of other things."
The Queen Mother covered Hongqin's with her cold and slippery hand, and there was a soft smile in her voice, "Good boy, go and call Zhaohe."
There are Da Sima and King Jing not far away, and there are more people farther away, but Hongqin can only feel the oppression brought by the Queen Mother.
Hongqin took a deep breath, and held up her skirt to chase Princess Zhaohe, "Princess Dachang, the empress dowager wants to talk to you."
Princess Showa turned her head panting with her sword in hand, just in time to see the Empress Dowager standing alone.
The queen mother was holding the hairpin, and when she saw Princess Showa's gaze, she waved to Princess Showa, just like seeing Princess Showa in the Peace Palace on weekdays, and asked Princess Showa to talk to her quickly It seems that even the curvature of the smile on the corner of the mouth is the same as usual.
Princess Zhaohe's heart trembled, she turned her head abruptly, raised her sword again, gritted her teeth and said, "After I kill this traitor, I will hold his head and explain to the emperor's wife!"
King Jing coughed lightly, and said in a muffled voice, "Princess Eldest Princess might as well talk to the Empress Dowager first, and persuade the Empress Dowager to go and have a rest. The funeral ceremony and the young prince of Prince Gong's Mansion will continue to bother the Empress Dowager. I will carefully identify the authenticity of the edict, and will not let those who have the heart succeed."
Compared with the previous two edicts, the last edict that Eunuch Ruixiang produced was as small as a sesame seed.
If Princess Showa and the Empress Dowager are unwilling.
This is the "false" will.
It just so happened that the clan and courtiers didn't want the Princess Zhen Guo to appear in the court hall after the Queen Mother Regent.
While King Jing was speaking, Da Sima had already asked the guards in the corner to gag and hold Eunuch Rui Xiang down, obviously also on the side of Princess Showa and the Empress Dowager.
Princess Showa's expression changed several times, the hand holding the sword was loosened and clenched again, and her brows and eyes were deeply entangled.
She can understand the deep meaning in King Jing's words, but she still wants to solve the troubles of Father Ruixiang's eternal life immediately, but she is afraid that her persevering attitude will make people more suspicious.
For a while, there was a dilemma.
When Princess Showa was silent, Hongqin tentatively took the sword from Princess Showa's hand, and gently pushed Princess Showa towards the Queen Mother.
Undecided Princess Showa walked forward with the strength of Hongqin, tears quickly overflowed from her eyes, and her steps became faster and faster. When she trotted in front of the Queen Mother, tears could already drip down her round chin to the skirt of her clothes .
Princess Zhaohe looked down at the Empress Dowager, who was much shorter than her, with her face full of tears, "Sister-in-law, the late emperor must not be so confused as to leave such a will. There must be villains who want to provoke our relationship. You must not be fooled."
The Queen Mother continued to wave to Princess Showa, signaling that Princess Showa could go further, "Come here with your ear, I have something to say to you."
Princess Showa was full of suspicion, but she dared not listen to the queen mother at this time.
The Empress Dowager put one hand on Princess Showa's shoulder, and put her feet close to Princess Showa's ear, "Yanqing has the same birthmark as me, doesn't it?"
Many years ago, after the palace people around the Queen Mother went to take care of Princess Yanqing, they specifically said that they saw marks similar to those of the Queen Mother on Princess Yanqing.
The Empress Dowager also specially stayed Princess Yanqing to take a bath in her palace, and went to see it herself.
Princess Yanqing did have a mark on her back, which was also in the same location as the birthmark on the Empress Dowager's body, but it was not a butterfly-shaped birthmark, but a burn.
The Empress Dowager recalled that not long after Yanqing was born, the Princess's Mansion had indeed dealt with a few nurses because the Princess was scalded, so she didn't take this matter to heart, and she didn't tell anyone about it.
Now when I think about this past event again, I feel that there is no place in my internal organs that does not hurt.
Panic flashed in Princess Zhaohe's eyes, but her mouth was quicker than her brain, "How is it possible? Auntie Huang can ask Yanqing to undress for you."
The Empress Dowager saw all the changes in Princess Showa's expression, the smile at the corner of her mouth became brighter, and she could vaguely see the sweetness of her youth.
She exerted force on her hands, coaxing Princess Zhaohe in a soft voice, "Okay, okay, it's all villains with ulterior motives trying to provoke us, I still have something to say to you."
Princess Zhaohe closed her mouth, but the sullenness between her brows did not dissipate, as if she was really chilled by the empress dowager's misunderstanding.
Even though her face showed dissatisfaction, Princess Showa did not forget to support the Empress Dowager's waist, so that the Empress Dowager would not be able to stand firmly after stepping on her feet.
"Showa" the warm breath of the empress dowager vomited into the ear of Princess Zhaohe, "Actually, the person who smothered the late emperor was not Ni Wang, but me, because I found that he had moved his mind and wanted to be young, beautiful and pregnant." Concubine Li is the successor."
Princess Zhaohe's eyes flashed with confusion first, and then she was shocked and angry. She grabbed the empress dowager's shoulder and pushed the empress dowager away, "How do you..." Dare!
The sudden severe pain stopped Princess Showa's words abruptly, and she lowered her head dully.
A beautifully carved nine-tailed phoenix hairpin was inserted on the bright red gorgeous court dress. The hands holding the phoenix hairpin were white and tender, like the hands of a little girl in her prime.
The queen mother let go of the hand holding the phoenix hairpin, and pushed heavily on Princess Showa's shoulder, and wiped the blood stains on Princess Showa's clothes by the way, but her voice was completely opposite to her movements. "Don't worry, your family will accompany you immediately."
Except for a small number of generals, most people only found out what the Queen Mother had done after seeing Princess Showa fell to the ground with a phoenix hairpin stuck in her chest.
Before the courtiers could ask questions, the Empress Dowager had already taken out her handkerchief and continued to wipe her hands while she said, "Zhaohe and Mr. Ruixiang forged the last emperor's edict. His mother's family, husband's family, eldest son's wife's family."
With a smile on her face, Princess Yanqing fell to the ground with a pale face. The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, turned her head expressionlessly, and said with clangs, "Immediate execution."
The white handkerchief stained with this large bloodstain fell gently, covering the eyes of Princess Showa full of eagerness and hatred evenly.
"Mr. Xue!" King Jing held his chest, staring at the Queen Mother fiercely, "The veracity of the will has not yet been determined, how dare you..." Before finishing a sentence, King Jing rolled his eyes several times, Thanks to Da Sima's timely support, he didn't fall to the ground.
"How dare you harm the royal family at will?!" King Jing propped himself on the ground with one hand, and almost only his voice was left in his voice at the end of this sentence.
Following King Jing's words, everyone finally dared to believe that the Empress Dowager killed Princess Zhaohe on the spot out of a fit of anger.
The people in Princess Zhaohe's mansion also recovered from their sluggishness, and rushed towards Princess Showa with a bloodstained veil on her face.
Unfortunately it was too late.
Princess Showa has died completely.
Chen Yanzhou turned around and rushed towards the Queen Mother, "I'll kill you!"
Chen Guo's envoys immediately rushed over to protect the Queen Mother behind him, and the Nanyang County King unceremoniously drew his sword and directly separated Chen Yanzhou's corpse.
None of the officials of Yan in the palace expected that the Queen Mother and the envoys of the State of Chen would dare to be so arrogant in the State of Yan.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Even the guards in the corners of the hall just rushed out of the crowd and drew their swords, but their faces were blank after drawing their swords.
The King of Nanyang glanced across the faces of the Yan officials who were full of disbelief, and said nonchalantly, "Didn't my aunt tell you to execute the people in Princess Zhaohe's mansion immediately? Xiao Wang will help you, there is no need polite."
The Yan officials couldn't bear the arrogant attitude of the Nanyang County King anyway, and immediately shouted "come" and cursed at the Nanyang County King.
It's a pity that the Yanchens shouted for a long time and no one came outside, instead there was a louder noise than inside the hall.
Even the guards in the main hall were divided into two, standing behind the Queen Mother and Yan Chen headed by Da Sima.
Yan Chen's complexion suddenly changed.
Until now, they still don't understand that the arrogance of the Queen Mother and Nanyang County King is nothing to fear.
Song Peiyu had long deduced from various clues that the Empress Dowager and Chen Guoguo used all the power that Chen Guo had managed in Yan State for many years on the day of Emperor Xiao's birthday banquet.
Therefore, Zhao Guo, Xi Liang, and Chu Guo's envoys, among all the people who came to the hall to participate in Emperor Xiao's birthday, except for Song Peiyu, it is no problem that one can be ten.
After Ping Zhang and the others and the guards of King Liang and King Xiang had already caused chaos in the hall, they quietly came behind Chong Yi and the others.
Not long after the confrontation, a blood-stained bodyguard from the Kingdom of Yan entered the door, but the leader went straight to the queen mother, "The escort is late, please forgive me the queen mother."
The Empress Dowager curled up her mouth, and pointed her finger painted with Kodan in the direction where Yan Chen gathered, "Princess Zhaohe and Eunuch Ruixiang forged the last emperor's edict, and the three tribes of Yi will be executed immediately. Anyone who obstructs them will be regarded as a crime and will be killed."
Da Sima looked at the guards who were about to rush over after the Queen Mother's order with a pale face, and recognized them as people from Daying in the suburbs of Beijing through their clothes.
"The camp in the suburbs of Beijing has always only obeyed the orders of the emperor. Are you going to violate the rules left by your ancestors?" Da Sima snapped.
As soon as Da Sima finished speaking, the Empress Dowager grabbed many metal plaques from her sleeve pockets and threw them on the ground, which were the tokens of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
The Empress Dowager looked at the angry Yan officials with a smile on her face, "The emperor has passed away, and the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne. The Ai family has the last emperor's edict to entrust the regent, and they have a token in their hands that can order the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. The camp must listen to the orders of the Ai family."
"Are you the princess of Chen country or the empress dowager of Yan country?" Da Sikong, who was guarded by Da Sima behind him, sneered.
The Queen Mother was not questioned by Da Sikong, she simply ignored Da Sikong, "General Su still doesn't obey orders?"
Because of the conversation between Da Sima and the Queen Mother, the general of the Daying in the suburbs of Beijing who stopped for a while nodded silently, and led people to approach the officials of the Yan Kingdom again.
Da Sima's face turned blue and then white, but he knew that it would be useless to waste any more words at this time.
He just asked whether the queen mother is the princess of Chen country or the empress dowager of Yan country, just to remind the people in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
The people in Daying in the suburbs of Beijing were unmoved, presumably they had been bought by the Queen Mother a long time ago, and they were completely loyal to the Queen Mother.
The second group of people soon poured into the hall. It was Chen Jun who followed the king of Nanyang County to stay in the Qingshan Palace. The number of people was nearly 2000, and the originally empty hall was packed to the brim.
There was no need for further instructions from the Queen Mother, the Chen army who entered the hall was divided into two, and rushed to Yan Chen and Zhao Guo's envoy respectively.
The target of Chen Jun rushing towards Yan Chen was the clan of Yan State and important ministers of Yan State, and the target of Chen Jun rushing towards the envoy of Zhao State was Chong Yi as expected by Song Peiyu.
As the empress dowager's thorn in the side, Song Peiyu was completely ignored. Under the protection of Ping Zhang and others, Song Peiyu watched Chong's swift and flowing...beheading.
Because the scene of Chong Yi's action was too bloody and terrifying, Chen Jun, who had been rushing forward to the position of Zhao Guo's envoy, froze for a moment, and even took several steps back to collide with the people behind him.
Seeing this, the king of Nanyang County immediately yelled, "Whoever can take the head of Zhong Yixiang will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels, and I will be named Zhong Yongbo!"
Under the reward, there must be a brave man.
Not only did Chen Jun, who was about to shrink back, swarmed up again, but even many people in Yan Guo's uniform tried to get close to Chong Yi.
Song Peiyu's eyes passed through the shadows of swords and swords in the hall, and he looked at the queen mother very calmly, with pity flashing in his eyes, and he made a clear mouth shape of "it's a pity".
He guessed that Xue Lin should have given the queen mother two goals, and it was also the price of Chen Guo's full support for the queen mother.
Take control of the government of Yan State with the honor of the Empress Dowager, or leave Chong Yi in Yan State forever today.
The Empress Dowager can control the time when Chen Guo takes action, but she has no right to stop it.
Once the swords and swords are facing each other, or if Chen Guo slaughters all the important officials and clans of Yan Guo, the Queen Mother will use the "Emperor Qing's Legacy" to whitewash the peace and find a young emperor who is easy to control to take over as regent.
Otherwise, the vitality of the Yan Kingdom would be severely damaged, and the major families would spontaneously attack the Queen Mother.
But if the Queen Mother cannot suppress Yan's family to accept her as regent after being outraged by the public in Yan, she will only die.
Chen Guoguo used the queen mother to achieve his goal, but he would not allow the princess who was "rested" to return to the country.
Before the Empress Dowager took action against Princess Showa, everything that happened, whether it was for the Empress Dowager or Chen Guo, went smoothly beyond expectations.
The Empress Dowager cleverly designed the deaths of Emperor Xiao and Prince Gong, and also made the officials of Yan accept her as the Empress Dowager Regent.
The most important thing is that the Empress Dowager accomplished these things on her own, and did not make the officials of Yan feel dissatisfied with Chen Guo behind her.
Next, the Empress Dowager only needs to keep a low profile and wait for the edict of Emperor Qing to be announced to the public. After becoming the Empress Dowager Regent, the Empress Dowager can easily control half of Yan Kingdom.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother still fell short at the last minute.
She did something absolutely intolerable to the courtiers of the Yan Kingdom, killing the clan of the Yan Kingdom 'for no reason'. She is still the Princess Showa who has both seniority and power in the Yan Kingdom.
Today the Empress Dowager can take action against Princess Showa without any scruples, and in the future she will be able to take action against other clans and even important officials of the Yan Kingdom.
Now Chen Jun, who came to the country of Yan in the name of an envoy, acted recklessly in the country of Yan, reminding everyone that the queen mother is not only the queen mother of the country of Yan, but also the princess of the country of Chen.
How could the Yan Kingdom tolerate such a 'cruel' and 'not my race' regent empress dowager.
The phoenix hairpin that the Queen Mother stabbed on Princess Showa's chest not only killed Princess Showa, but also ruined her own future with her own hands.
The noise outside is getting louder and louder. The Empress Dowager's control over the camp in the suburbs of Beijing is limited after all. It is already the limit to be able to separate less than a thousand people into the hall while holding back the Yan army outside. There are less than 3000 Chen Jun in total.
The first unlucky ones were the people from the Zhaohe Dachang Princess's Mansion, who were immediately blood splattered on the spot.
Even Princess Yanqing, who happened to be beside Da Sima, couldn't escape the pursuit, was slashed on the neck with a knife, and fell limply.
Song Peiyu's eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously looked at the Queen Mother.
The queen mother was still looking at him, so that he could meet the queen mother's eyes as soon as he turned his head.
He couldn't see any emotion from the empress dowager's expression or eyes, but he could only be sure that the empress dowager's expression looking at him at this moment was exactly the same as the expression on the showa dazhang princess before she shot her.
Song Peiyu was suddenly a little uncertain that the Queen Mother would kill Princess Showa immediately if she gave up the future.
Is it because he noticed the change of son through various clues, or simply couldn't bear the "will" to adopt King Fu to Princess Showa.
When the Queen Mother saw Song Peiyu and shook her head again, she woke up from the hallucination.
When she saw Song Peiyu say "it's a pity" to her, she suddenly burst into anger that almost wiped her mind away. After biting the tip of her tongue to resist the feeling of dizziness, she suddenly found that her Fu'er came back to life, standing in the shadow of swords and swords Then smile at her.
The Queen Mother stared at her Fu'er obsessively, and was about to run over desperately, but saw Fu'er shaking her head and turning into another face.Thinking of who she regarded as Fu'er, the Queen Mother couldn't help but bent down and retched, grabbed Nanyang County King by her side, and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget your promise to Ai's family."
Anxiety and impatience flashed in Nanyang Junwang's eyes.
The purpose of his coming to the country of Yan is to kill Chong Yi, the crown prince of Zhao country, not to capture Song Peiyu and hand it over to the queen mother to vent her anger.
If Song Peiyu can really be caught, bring Song Peiyu back to Chen Guo, and slowly get things out of Song Peiyu's mouth, it is far better than handing Song Peiyu to the Queen Mother.
It has long been heard that Prince Zhao Chongyi is heroic and extraordinary, but the Nanyang County King never thought that "one enemy against a hundred" is not an exaggeration.
Only a quarter of an hour passed, and there were at least a hundred people whose corpses were separated under Chong Yi's hands.
Can't go on like this!
Not only because of Chong Yi's appearance of being possessed by the god of war, Chen Jun's morale is getting lower and lower.
If killing Chongyi would cost most of the manpower, how could they escape back to Chen State when Yan State reacted and mobilized surrounding troops to defend Luoyang?
The king of Nanyang County grabbed the queen mother's hand that was almost in his arm and shook it off, and yelled again, "Kill the prince of Zhao Guo Chong Yi, reward 10 taels, and seal ten thousand households!"
The Nanyang County King's voice hadn't finished completely, when he suddenly felt a cold white light flashing across his eyes, and then he had a severe headache and fell down straight.
Before closing his eyes completely, the King of Nanyang County saw many people pouring into the entrance of the main hall.
These people are all wearing the clothes of the Yan army, but they are not the guards of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing or the Qingshan Palace. They all have the word "village" embroidered on their cuffs.
It is the garrison of the village and county.
However, it took at least half a day for the villages and counties to go to the Qingshan Palace. In addition to the process of deploying troops, it would take a whole day to get to the Qingshan Palace.
How could the village and county garrisons come so quickly?
Because the attention was on the Queen Mother, Song Peiyu happened to see the whole process of the death of Nanyang County King in his eyes.
After Nanyang County King roared loudly, Chong Yi threw the long sword over, and pierced Nanyang County King's forehead impartially.
Seeing the village and county garrisons rushing in from the entrance of the main hall, Song Peiyu knew that it was the work of those old foxes in Yan Kingdom.
He put his hands around his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted, "The king of Nanyang County is dead! Brothers, retreat!"
Chen Jun's movements were not as smooth as before, and they all turned their heads to find the position of Nanyang County King. Together with Chong Yi, who was always overwhelmed by the crowd, a large area was immediately vacant beside him.
Song Peiyu ran over and grabbed Chong Yi's hand, "Let's go!"
Chong Yi's black robe was already covered with stickiness, and a dark red patch appeared immediately on Song Peiyu's neat red dress.
He looked down at the dark red patch, threw his outer robe on the ground, held Song Peiyu's hand while wearing only his dry middle coat, and strode out.
Zhao Guo's envoys, Liang Wang, Xiang Wang and others followed immediately, and even Duke Ruixiang was rescued from Yan Chen by Xiang Yun, changed his clothes, bowed his head and chest, mixed with Zhao Guo's envoys and rushed out.
Hongqin dragged the Queen Mother, who had passed out after Nanyang County King shouted that sentence, and was rolling her eyes and twitching, to a position near the door.
When Zhao Guo's envoys passed by them, they also took the Queen Mother and Hong Qin with them.
A group of people followed Chong Yi, and returned to the place where Zhao Guo's envoys stayed in the Qingshan Palace from a particularly remote path, no matter whether they were people from Zhao Guo, Xiliang or Chu, they were all ready to go.
Just waiting for the people who came back from the main hall to mount their horses, they immediately rushed out of the Qingshan Palace and headed straight for Mo County on the Zhao-Yan border.
On the way, Yinbao told Song Peiyu that the queen mother was already very angry.
Ask Song Peiyu if he needs medicine to hang the queen mother's life.
Song Peiyu refused without hesitation.
They wanted to return to the border of Zhao Yan immediately, and it was impossible to waste time for the Queen Mother.
The medicine that can hang life is even rarer, so how could it be wasted on the Queen Mother?
If the Queen Mother survived to the Zhao Kingdom, she would press her to go to Song Liangci's memorial tablet, comfort Song Liangci's spirit in heaven, and relieve Song Jinyu's heart knot.
It can be regarded as a good arrangement for the Queen Mother to be so pissed off.
On the second day after rushing back to Zhao State day and night, the Queen Mother died silently.
After Song Peiyu heard the news, she was silent for a while, and ordered the empress dowager's body to be thrown into the woods near the official road.
Hongqin thought of being a master and a servant, and deliberately took off all the accessories on the queen mother's body and took them away, so that no one would look at Qian's eyes and offend the queen mother's body.
