little fool's child bride

But the door of the palace has not been opened for a long time.

All the officials knelt down with low eyebrows, but they all murmured in their hearts, wondering if something happened.Since they received the news of the emperor's death, they rushed to kneel in front of the palace gate, but it was almost dusk, but the palace gate was still closed, and there was no movement inside.There was a drum in the heart, and someone looked at the empty seat in front of him, and cold sweat broke out on his head.

That is the position of Prime Minister Rong Zuo.He was absent from such a major event, which made people feel abnormal no matter how they looked at it.Some officials smelled the unusual tense atmosphere, and casually glanced at the guard guarding the gate, trying to see that something was wrong.It's a pity that the guards all have cold faces and no expressions at all, so they can't see anything.In the end, they looked at those officials who were usually with Rong Zuoxiang, and this time they saw something.

These officials are very different from other people with tense faces. Although they also pursed their lips and put on a worried look, some of them were even crying quietly, but a closer look showed their indifference.Their eyes are erratic, always looking at other people secretly, or looking back in the direction they came from.Cong Shangshu and Xing Shilang looked at each other, nodded their heads invisibly, and then Cong Shangshu was about to straighten up.

"Why did Cong Shangshu get up?"

A malicious voice came from behind, and then a hand was placed on Cong Shangshu's shoulder. Cong Shangshu looked back and saw that it was Rong Zuoxiang's eldest son.

Rong Zicheng also stood up with a smile, and he asked hypocritically: "Is Cong Shangshu not feeling well, so he can't kneel anymore?"

Although Rong Zicheng was the eldest son of Rong Zuoxiang, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not have a deep impression on him. He was not as famous as his younger brother Rong Zijin who once moved the royal city.Master Cong didn't have a deep impression of him, but now seeing him jumping out suddenly, he felt a bad premonition in his heart.

"General Hang is in his [-]s and [-]s, and he is still kneeling in front of him with his back straight. The rest of the colleagues are also persisting. Why can't Cong Shangshu not stand it?"

But before Cong Shangshu could speak, Rong Zicheng's face darkened, and he asked the guards to drag Cong Shangshu down and hit him fifty sticks.

"Since the lower official is an official of the Ministry of Rites, he should urge all officials to abide by the etiquette system. Cong Shangshu, don't blame me—"

"When will a little servant dare to take care of Shangshu?" Cong Shangshu pushed his guard away to drag him away, speaking harshly, but seeing the arrogant Rong Zicheng and the officials bowing their heads, he felt that something was wrong.

"The servant can't take care of it, but the prince can, can't he?"

Rong Zuoxiang's voice came from outside the palace gate. Rong Zicheng's eyes lit up and his fingers moved slightly. The guards in front of the palace gate arrested all the officials. in place.They looked at their embarrassed colleagues with contemptuous eyes, fawning around Rong Zicheng, and then thought to themselves that they were lucky to follow the right person.

Rong Zuoxiang had long wanted to do the opposite.

The Rong family was originally just a small family with a little wealth in Youcheng. His father was a scholar from the Academy, and his mother was a young lady with excellent embroidery skills.The four of them lived a smooth and happy life, but that year the emperor went on a tour to see his sister, and then took her into the palace.Rong Xiang was naturally happy at that time, because he happened to be participating in the examination at that time, and the emperor directly opened the back door for him to become a minister of rites.The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty respected his identity, and because Rongxiang was really genuine, no one talked about the opening of the back door afterwards, only saying that it should be so.The younger sister monopolizes the sacred favor, and his elder brother finally becomes the prime minister with one person under one person and above ten thousand people, so the Rong family also ascended to the sky step by step, becoming the nobles of Baiyu.

But God couldn't understand them, so he insisted on creating some tribulations.First came the royal scandal, and then both of his parents died of illness. Prime Minister Rong Zuo faintly felt that the family was about to come to an end.He was afraid that the child born to his younger sister would not be the emperor in the end, he was afraid that the emperor would cross the river and demolish bridges, unload mills and kill donkeys, and he was afraid that his family would be buried with the emperor in the end, so when the crown prince contracted the captive epidemic, he began to plan the rebellion without hesitation. .He encouraged his younger sister to burn the Chonghua Palace, he opposed Liu Ziming openly and secretly, and he killed Jiang Muyu only because of his similar appearance to the eldest princess.Then he waited and waited until the day when the emperor died——

"What shit is too..."

Cong Shangshu hadn't finished speaking yet, the rest of his words were shattered along with the crushed face, and finally turned into a few drops of blood foam.However, Rong Zuo didn't even look at Cong Shangshu at Rong Zicheng's feet, but ordered the soldiers behind him to surround the palace with three floors and three floors outside, and then walked through the officials with knives on their necks. Go to the front of the temple.He chuckled, smoothed the small folds of the cuffs of the dragon robe with his hands, and said in a slow tone:

"His Royal Highness hasn't come out yet?"

The door of the palace was motionless, and there was no sound from inside.Zuoxiang Rong squinted his eyes, thinking of the tunnels extending in all directions under the palace, he snorted coldly, and continued: "Your Highness, don't waste your efforts, the old minister is much more aware of the tunnels under the palace than His Royal Highness. If you want to use the tunnels to escape , then don’t blame the old minister for being cruel and merciless, lighting a fire at the entrance of the tunnel for ten and a half months.”

People often say that cunning rabbits have three caves, so when catching rabbits in the countryside, they set a fire in front of the cave, and then let the smoked prey escape from the only hole that they made a trap for.Xiao Xiao in the room was dumbfounded when he heard what Rong Zuoxiang said. After all, he didn't want to be smothered to death by the smoke. You have to know how many people in the fire died like this.

"What should I do?" Xiao Xiao frowned and looked at Liu Ziming, "This time I really caught a turtle in my urn!"

Xiao Xiao stayed by Liu Ziming's side all afternoon, watching him hold the old emperor's hand and say what was in his heart.The palace servants in the palace had been sent out long ago, and Xiao Xiao was also very sad at that time, because he thought of his parents in modern times.I don't know what's going on in this world through time travel. It's okay if time is still, but if I'm dead, who will serve his parents?When it's time for them to leave, who will send them off...

Xiao Xiao and Liu Ziming were thinking about their own things like this, and the afternoon passed quickly.As for the voice of the officials outside, I really didn't hear it at first. After all, who would dare to make a loud noise at such a juncture to seek death?It wasn't until later that he heard Rong Zicheng and Cong Shangshu's argument that Liu Ziming woke up like a dream, and after a little tidying up, he was about to open the door and go out.But before they opened the door, those outrageous words reached the ears of the two, revealing some not-so-good things.

"Is this to seek power and usurp the throne?"

Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.If you let him speak, Liu Ziming is the only prince left in this white jade, what else can happen?But he didn't expect that some people saw exactly this and decided to give it a go.

"Where did he come from?" Xiao Xiao asked suspiciously, "He's just a prime minister!"

However, what Xiao Xiao couldn't understand had already been carefully considered by Prime Minister Rong Zuo.In fact, he didn't want to launch a coup in such a hurry, but first, he didn't expect that the emperor's body would be poisoned, and he wouldn't be able to live for such a long time; The position of the general.He knew that in a few years, Liu Ziming would definitely transfer him to the imperial city as the governor of the forbidden army. At that time, the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the imperial city would all be Jiang Muyu's forces, so he acted so urgently.He first instigated the current commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army - after all, this person will be replaced by Jiang Muyu in a few years, so the enemy of an enemy is a friend; then he asked Rong Yu to frame Jiang Muyu for collaborating with the enemy and treason, in order to abolish Liu Ziming's power.Later, he even told Liu Ziming about Jiang Muyu's life experience, so that even if he was not convicted, the two of them would never be as unsuspecting as before.

Rong Zuoxiang really knows this emperor very well.

No matter how much the old emperor loves his sister, even if everyone in the world praises the old emperor's infatuation, the old emperor never allows his sister to discuss court affairs.The minds of these emperors are as clear as a mirror. Love is one thing, and country is another.He can only love beauties and not Jiangshan, or only love Jiangshan and not beauties, but he will never allow beauties to touch his Jiangshan.This is every emperor's possessiveness and their pride.

No matter how magnanimous Liu Ziming was, it was impossible for Liu Ziming to tolerate a person who was supposed to take the throne instead of him by his side, and this person had talents beyond his reach and someone he couldn't ask for.Just like the current old emperor, even if Liu Kaize doesn't have the qualifications and ability to be an emperor at all, can he let go of his knot?Rong Zuoxiang took this step really well, so Liu Ziming suffered for three days because he didn't know how to choose.Although he chose to compromise later, it is another matter if he is somewhat willing and has nostalgia for Xiao Xiao.

"It's not important anymore, the most urgent thing now is to send you out."

Liu Ziming frowned, carefully carried the emperor's body to the other side of the bed, then opened the drawer on the side of the bed, and took out a beautifully crafted brocade box.This box is not a boxy shape, but a five-pointed star, which looks delicate and small.Xiao Xiao was anxious and confused, he thought Liu Ziming was going to get a weapon, but he didn't expect to take out this thing.

Seeing this, Liu Ziming explained: "This is the key to the secret passage."

Liu Ziming lifted a brick on the ground, then filled the brocade box into the exposed keyhole, and there was a "click" as expected.Liu Ziming walked to the second brick next to it, and when he lifted it vigorously, a dark tunnel was revealed.A rope hangs down into the darkness, Xiao Xiao is a little timid, but decides to go down first.

"This is a tunnel leading directly to the outside of the palace." Liu Ziming handed a lighted lantern to Xiao Xiao, and then said, "After you go down, go straight ahead, and then you will see an iron gate. Use this After the key is unlocked, you can go back to Qingyi Garden and wait for news, and I will be fine."
