In this way, Emperor Yuanchang and his party were forcibly left in the Jiangnan Palace. Originally, Emperor Yuanchang had a little luck. After all, he had sent many royal guards to follow him.But when he saw Ji Langjun who was kneeling respectfully in front of Mo Zhaoyuan and reporting the situation in the capital, that trace of luck disappeared completely.

The situation is stronger than people, even if Emperor Yuanchang was reluctant, he had to stay in the palace.To the outside world, Mo Zhaoyuan released news, claiming that Emperor Yuanchang heard that the eldest prince Lu Jingheng had usurped the throne during his southern tour, and was so angry that he couldn't afford it, so he died.

Taking advantage of the fact that "Emperor Yuanchang was pissed to death", under the instruction of Mo Zhaoyuan, the ministers in the capital started to fight back frantically. Unbearable to be an emperor.

Amid the voices of "anti-Chonghong", Mo Zhaoyuan, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, set off to return to the capital in the name of setting things right.

After ten years, Mo Zhaoyuan finally set foot on the land of the capital again.

"Princess." Ji Langjun was left in the Jiangnan Palace, followed by another former royal secret guard, surnamed Hu, "Can you contact the Fourth Prince first?"

"No need." Mo Zhaoyuan shook his head. The capital city is colder than the south of the Yangtze River. He was wearing a thin cloak, which was pulled up a little at this time, "Send troops directly to control the imperial city, and then go to see Ah Brother is not too late."

Except for those princes and daughters of Emperor Yuanchang who went to the fiefdom, they are now living in the palace in good order.Maybe he didn't have rich clothes and good food, but Lu Jingheng was not cruel enough to kill all his brothers and sisters.Mo Zhaoyuan knew this well and was not in a hurry.

Hu Langjun nodded when he heard the words, and soon went to convey Mo Zhaoyuan's order.

It has been said that most of the power in the Ning Dynasty is in the hands of Mo Zhaoyuan, and the military is only a fish of Tang Guogong's lineage. With his order, the imperial city is very easily in his hands.

When the gate of the Xuanzheng Hall was knocked open by a sergeant from the outside, Lu Jingheng was going to the morning court, listening to a few ministers reporting so and so and scolding him.Before he had time to swear, "Who dares to commit crimes?", he saw the soldiers holding long guns solemnly divided into two rows on the left and right, and walked in to meet a young lady.

At first, Lu Jingheng didn't recognize who the other party was, until the two rows of soldiers shouted "His Royal Highness" in unison. After a subconscious thought of "Aren't all the princesses in the palace?" flashed by, Lu Jingheng finally remembered His sixth younger sister, who was sent to the south of the Yangtze River to recuperate early, is the wealthy Princess Yuanjing.

"Yuan Jing?" Lu Jingheng looked at Mo Zhaoyuan in surprise, "Is that you?"

"Brother, although I really want to greet you with 'I haven't seen you for a long time, you are well,' but forget about these unnecessary greetings." Mo Zhaoyuan's voice was soft and gentle, but the words he said were not pleasant at all. "Brother, taking advantage of Aye's absence from the capital, pretended to be enthroned, causing Aye to die in a fit of anger. It's really embarrassing."

"Ha!" Lu Jingheng sneered loudly, "Yuan Jing, Yuan Jing, do you think you can do anything to me with just a few people? I'm the emperor now!"

As he said that, he smiled triumphantly at Mo Zhaoyuan, and told the secret guard who had already surrendered: "Go, order someone to send this little princess who intends to seek rebellion into the dungeon!"

To his surprise, the hidden guard who was supposed to accompany him in an unknown place by his side did not move at all.

"Hurry up!" Lu Jingheng lowered his face, and his voice was filled with anger.

At this moment, the dark guard finally reacted - he walked out from the dark place, came straight to Mo Zhaoyuan, and knelt down on one knee.

Lu Jingheng:? ? !

Mo Zhaoyuan looked at Lu Jingheng who couldn't believe his eyes, and smiled lightly: "Brother, you really misjudged me. How dare I come back from Jiangnan with so few people?"

After discovering that his hidden guard was actually not loyal to him, Lu Jingheng realized that things seemed to be different from what he imagined.His eyes fell on several ministers in the hall, hoping to see a loyal minister jumping out and angrily denouncing each other for cholera.

but.

No one jumped out and said that the other party was playing with power as a woman, and had cholera. With a very respectful and docile posture, he bent down: "Welcome Your Royal Highness to return to Beijing."

For a moment, it was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over Lu Jingheng's head, and his whole body was completely chilled from the inside out.

Facing Lu Jingheng's eyes full of fear, Mo Zhaoyuan smiled at him with a very gentle look: "Relegate elder brother to a commoner and imprison him."

After killing Lu Jingheng quickly, Mo Zhaoyuan led the people into the inner city of the palace.

After passing through the Golden Horse Gate, they entered the harem. The concubines of Emperor Yuanchang were sent to the subordinate palace on the west side of the palace by Lu Jingheng, while the princes and daughters were locked in the Zengcheng Hall inside the palace.

After arriving at Zengcheng Hall, Hu Langjun stepped forward and opened the door of the hall first, and whispered to the sergeant behind him to bring the Fourth Prince, while asking Mo Zhaoyuan to enter the hall and sit down to wait.Mo Zhaoyuan did not reject Hu Langjun's kindness, and sat down on the red sandalwood armchair in the hall.

Not long after, those sergeants came in with a crying young gentleman.Mo Zhaoyuan looked at the fourth prince Lu Jingzhi, he was thin and fair, but he looked younger than others, he didn't look like a ten-year-old child, but looked like he was seven or eight years old.

"No, don't kill me." Sensing his gaze, Lu Jingzhi sobbed softly, tears falling harder and harder, "I, I didn't scold my elder brother with my brothers and sisters."

Tsk, silly kid.

Mo Zhaoyuan couldn't help recalling Tao Hongji ten years ago. Although he was only eight years old, he vaguely remembered that he was already a responsible little man.Unexpectedly, Lu Jingzhi is ten years old, but still loves to cry so much.

But he thought about it again, if there were no mistakes in the intelligence, Lu Jingzhi had never been taken seriously since he was a child, and transparent people usually grow up to ten years old, so it is understandable that they are weak.

Besides, it's okay to be weak, anyway, he just wants a puppet emperor.

"Brother, I'm your sixth sister." Mo Zhaoyuan showed a gentle and friendly smile to Lu Jingzhi, "I'm not here to kill you, I'm here to rescue you."

"Really, really!" Lu Jingzhi looked at Mo Zhaoyuan in surprise, and had a little doubt, "But, but big brother"

"Brother Jiaozhao ascended the throne, and I was so angry that Aye was locked up." Mo Zhaoyuan waved at him, motioning for Lu Jingzhi to come over, "Come on, brother, come over here."

Lu Jingchun already had a pretty face, and Mo Zhaoyuan smiled softly, it's not like he didn't feel good about him.Although Lu Jingzhi was still a little scared, he could see that he already had trust in Mo Zhaoyuan. After hesitating for a while, he walked cautiously in front of Mo Zhaoyuan.

Mo Zhaoyuan hugged Lu Jingzhi in his arms, pinched his chubby little face, and asked, "Brother, do you want to be emperor?"

"Being an emperor?" Lu Jingzhi didn't really understand what it meant to be an emperor. He didn't pay attention to it for the first ten years of his life, and even just learned to read and write two years ago. Hearing Mo Zhaoyuan's question, he was still a little ignorant Understood, "If you become an emperor, you can eat enough and not be locked up?"

"Yes." Mo Zhaoyuan nodded with a smile on his face, "If you become the emperor, brother can wear nice clothes every day, eat delicious dishes, and be served by palace servants, and everyone will treat him very well." of."

"Then, then I want to be emperor!" Lu Jingzhi was moved by the beautiful scene described in Mo Zhaoyuan's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, but soon he became nervous again, "Sixth sister, I, I Can I be emperor?"

"It's ok." Mo Zhaoyuan stroked his tied hair in satisfaction, "As long as Brother is obedient, it's fine."

"I will be good!" Lu Jingzhi grabbed Mo Zhaoyuan's sleeve, "I, I will listen to Sixth Sister very much!"

In the 19th year of Yuanchang, after Emperor Yuanchang died in a hurry due to the imperial prince Lu Jingheng's coercive edict to ascend the throne, Princess Yuan Jing, who lived far away in the south of the Yangtze River, led troops to Beijing to set things right.The eldest prince, Lu Jingheng, was demoted to be a commoner and imprisoned for life.The fourth prince, Lu Jingzhi, who was only ten years old, ascended the throne with the reign title "Jing'an".

As soon as the new emperor came to the throne, the first imperial decree issued was to confer the title of Princess Yuan Jing as "Prince Regent", and the world often called "Princess Regent".

During the Jing'an period, the Princess Regent held great power, and all documents were passed through the hands of the Princess Regent. If Emperor Jing'an's edict was not signed by the Princess Regent, it would not be able to leave the palace at all.

Emperor Yuanchang, who was far away in the palace in the south of the Yangtze River, would receive news from the secret guard every few days. He watched his Ah Chun become the real master of Ning Dynasty as the eldest princess, and make Ning Dynasty better and better. , making all kinds of feats that even I didn't achieve, I have mixed feelings in my heart.

If he found out about the abolished empress stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix into a phoenix, he would have restored Ah Chun's status as the prince and let Ah Chun ascend the throne as the prince, would he be an excellent emperor?At that time, if you leave your name in history, you will definitely be a Mingjun, right?

Compared with the current situation, it is much better to be a regent princess with four sons in her arms and to be a regent princess with a bad reputation.

"Cough cough..." Emperor Yuanchang coughed a few times. I don't know if Jiangnan Fengshui really nourishes people. After living in the palace for a few years, his health has improved a bit. It's just that he coughed a few times when the seasons changed, but he was no longer It's getting in the way.

Looking at the secret letter in his hand, he sighed softly after a long time: "Sanzhi, tell me, did I do something wrong back then?"

Qin Sanzhi also knew how much the things the regent princess had done in the past few years had greatly affected the Ning Dynasty and brought great benefits to the common people. Hearing Yuanchang Emperor's question at this time, he also sighed in his heart: "Your Majesty How can I expect it!"

"It's my mistake." Emperor Yuanchang suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart, "It's me, it's my mistake!"

Innate supernatural power, extraordinary intelligence, wise decision-making

What a good heir Ah Chun should have been, and what a good relationship they had at that time, if he had made another choice, wouldn't it be—

Emperor Yuanchang regretted deeply, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch the Ning Dynasty become better and better little by little, and listen to the people praising the wisdom and kindness of the princess regent.The more you watch and listen, the more regret you will have.
