I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

Chapter 103 The Duke's Mansion Assassinated

What a personal protection, I am afraid that the protection is fake and the surveillance is real.

Meng Yang choked up: "...Thank you, Your Majesty."

Rong Cen sent Xiao Lian there just for surveillance, and he made no secret of it, but what could he say?He can only accept.

"I wish the eldest son all the best, and peace talks with Xi Lin, and a ten-year truce."

Meng Yang: "Ten years? Are you sure, Your Majesty?"

I don't know if he thinks too little or too much.

Rong Cen nodded, saying in a tone of sure victory: "Ten years is enough."

Reform, quell chaos, recover lost land, accumulate food and build walls, develop the economy, build the army, eliminate illiteracy and diplomacy, and build a prosperous world in ten years.Once the foundation is solid, it is time to rule the world.

"Okay." Meng Yang responded with a clear smile.
-
At lunch time, Concubine Ye, Concubine Gu and Concubine Lu ordered someone to deliver a care package as usual.

Naturally, Wan Li had another good operation, and the three palace maids who directly performed supernormally were willing to offer their full purses.

Rong Cen, who earned 3000 taels angrily, was in a good mood. He waved his hand and almost wanted to reward him generously. Fortunately, his status as a poor ghost was engraved by smoking, and he stopped the act of slapping his swollen face and pretending to be fat in time.

She swiped a pen to write a few imperial characters, and ordered Wan Li to send them to Jingcui Palace, Qiulan Palace and Yijing Palace in person.

Two quarters of an hour later, the news that the three masters were favored spread across every corner of the backyard of the deep palace like a creeper with legs.

After finishing the small palace trumpet bestowed by His Majesty, and earning a lot of gifts, he went back happily and replied: "Your Majesty, it has been delivered. The ladies said that Your Majesty is worthy of being a refined person. Although the ceremony is light, the affection is heavy, and they all gave the gift in return." Woolen cloth!"

"What kind of treasures are they? Let me see."

Rong Cen rubbed his hands in anticipation, the silver ticket and gold ingot reflected in his eyes.

"Empress Ye Pin sent a Jade Guanyin."

The precious jade made of the top material is crystal clear, and the image of Guanyin is lifelike and extremely heavy. Please let the master open the Buddha's light.

Valuable goods, but not easy to realize.

"Concubine Gu sent a girdle made by herself."

Yellow dragon patterns on a black background, embroidered with gold thread, sparkling.

But Mrs. Gu's skills are not very good, so she is not worth much money.The gold wire can be disassembled and exchanged for a few pieces of silver.

"Mistress Lu sent two sets of tea sets."

Glass cups, beautiful and delicate, rare and rare, are items that can make nobles spend a lot of money.But Rong Cen has seen many kinds of glassware in the new era, and there is no disturbance.

I have to find someone to take advantage of and sell it.It is real only if the money is in your own hands.

"Not bad, who is the first to return the gift? I want to draw up a decree to reward you." Da Kua Te praised you, remember to give it to you next time!
Wan Li: "It's Empress Ye Bin."

Rong Cen said again and again: "Leave her Avalokitesvara and put it here..."

Looking around, she settled on the square table directly facing the palace gate, and she made a decision, "Put it there as an offering, and I will watch it day and night, and keep Ye Bin's thoughts in my heart."

With such a high awareness, it has to be Ye Bin!In the new era, she must be the target of being rushed to develop, learn new ideas, and strive to become a new youth!

"Yes."

The two tall dragon and phoenix candles on the table, the jade Guanyin can just be placed behind the incense burner, and the simple Guanyin platform is formed?
It's a little bit like the Empress Dowager's Small Buddha Hall.

"Your Majesty, the palace maids around the empresses have all given rewards again." Wan Li took the initiative to present the purse.

It was thicker than before, a heavy stack of bank notes.

So rich!

No wonder the previous emperors liked to bring countless Yingying and Yanyan into the palace. The daughter of a high-ranking official, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, can both centralize power and amass wealth, so they just sacrifice their flesh and blood... Bah, hugging left and right is a blessing for everyone Yes, what a sacrifice!

But with her female body, she can't do this, and it's not a solution.

Rong Cen, who was wandering in the sky, was awakened by the announcement from the little eunuch outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, Mei Chang is asking to see you."

"Enter."

What is she here for?
In just a moment, the graceful Jiang Ting came into view.Today she is wearing a frost-colored spring dress, flying clouds hair bun with pink flowers, pearl white jade, a pair of delicate silver pendants on her ears, a small mole on the tip of her nose, and a small pouting cherry mouth, charming and lively.

"Hi Your Majesty." Jiang Ting saluted slightly, his movements were still very casual, but his etiquette was improved a lot, and he didn't get surprised again. Nine and a half out of ten sentences reminded Rong Cen to beware of the queen mother's backstabbing .

"Forget it." Rong Cen lifted his chin lightly, and ordered: "Wan Li, take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and Your Majesty has lost weight again." Jiang Ting said, still the nagging Fan, the familiar formula appeared in front of Rong Cen's eyes, "Your Majesty, I fell down in the cold palace a few days ago and broke my brain. , I don’t remember many things. I asked the court lady about the big and small things in the palace recently, and I learned that His Majesty has gone south, so I took the liberty to ask Your Majesty some trivial matters.”

Rong Cen waved Zi Hao in his hand, and kept writing. It is no surprise that she would make excuses and not expose them, just said: "You ask."

Wan Li was waiting on the sidelines, and Jiang Ting didn't shy away from it, and asked directly: "Why did Your Majesty go south? Is it because you are worried that the righteous soldiers will rise up due to the injustice in the southern border? Or is it because you are afraid that Nanxun will command his troops to go north?"

Rong Cen's eyes were heavy: "The harem, you are not allowed to participate in politics."

The tone is blunt and disobedient.

This is the second time she has said it.Both times to the same person.

"Your Majesty, you believe me, I will not be a thief. The reason why I asked Your Majesty is to know what concerns His Majesty has in mind, so that I can help His Majesty."

Jiang Ting's tone was sincere and earnest.

She has a fascination, very similar to Rong Cen, Rong Cen has no reason not to believe her, but also has no reason to believe her.

Defenses can not do without.

"What help can you add to me?" Rong Cen smiled.

It's not ridicule, it's not ridicule, she is really curious.

"I know it's hard for Your Majesty to believe me. After all, I'm the concubine princess sent by Nanxun. My home country is Nanxun. No one would do treason, and I don't want to. But please give me a little trust, even if it's ten One's trust."

Jiang Ting glanced sideways at Wan Li, "Your Majesty, can you talk to me alone? I can only delay Your Majesty by ten minutes..."

She suddenly stopped, thinking of something, and quickly changed her words: "For a quarter of an hour, I only delay His Majesty for a quarter of an hour. In such a short time, His Majesty will take a break."

She almost blurted out "10 minutes", but fortunately she has a quick mind.Jiang Ting doesn't know how to describe 10 minutes in this world. Anyway, a quarter of an hour is 15 minutes, and she has an extra 5 minutes of persuasion time, which is a profit.

When I was studying, the teacher said that the emperor was very tired from reviewing memorials every day, if His Majesty really didn't believe her, he should let His Majesty relax.

Wan Li was ready to say something private in this battle, but in the end he heard His Majesty say: "He is not in the way, you can talk if you have something to say."

Wan Li: "..." Help, he doesn't want to know too many secrets about the deep palace, it's easy to lose his head! !
Jiang Ting's face changed, and his tone was difficult: "Your Majesty, my concubine has something very important to tell you."

"Since it's important, just say it straight. I don't think it's important to talk about it."

Rong Cen doesn't like her.

No memory can be used as an excuse to fall to the head, and she will have to retreat to help her. Who knows if Jiang Ting deliberately distracts irrelevant people to assassinate the emperor.

The trick that the Empress Dowager used last time, although it was Jiang Yun who faked Jiang Ting in the end, was almost successful, wasn't it?

At this point, Jiang Ting can only advance or retreat, she is desperate, "Nan Xun will not send his troops north, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Just you?"

Rong Cen never believed that real peace can be obtained by relying on women and marriage.What's more, this woman is just a temporary adopted daughter of Emperor Chang Ning.

"Even if there are no concubines, Nanxun will not send troops to attack Dayin." Jiang Ting's tone was firm, and his attitude was firm. He wanted to say something, but swallowed the words before looking at Rong Cen, "Your Majesty, some things can only Talk to you alone."

Worried that His Majesty is still indifferent, she added: "It is about His Majesty's great cause of ruling the world."

It's a serious matter, it's really not something Wanli and a slave can listen to, he was so frightened that he ran away.

"Your Majesty, this servant will leave!"

The Hall of Renzheng left Cen and Jiangting alone, and the superior smiled helplessly, "Your goal has been achieved, can you say it?"

"Your Majesty, if the concubine says that the concubine can predict the future, do you believe it?"

"..." Rong Cen choked.

Good guy.Does she also have a system, and then exchange plots by earning something similar to return value?

Jiang Ting carefully observed Rong Cen's reaction, and saw that His Majesty was frowning, afraid that she would ask someone to take him down and put him in the sky prison, and then set him on fire like a monster.

But after seeing the other party think for a moment, his expression was solemn: "Continue."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The ministers and concubines predicted that you would rule the world in the future. It is sitting on the entire continent, and everyone in the world bows down to your pomegranate skirt...Under the dragon robe, bowing their heads and proclaiming their ministers, small countries all over the world make pilgrimages and pay tribute, Dayin and beauty prosper, Every year."

This... is too fake, right?I dare not even daydream about it!Besides, the system says that this world is a novel, and the tragic female supporting role died early.

Rong Cen suspected that she was talking nonsense.

Jiang Ting was really making it up, but she couldn't let Rong Cen hear it.The female emperor in the book has a bad ending, but Jiang Ting knows her beautiful vision by heart, and everyone likes to wear a tall hat, so it should not be revealed.

Only unexpectedly, Rong Cen knew that she was a character in the book.

"Your Majesty, you are brilliant and mighty, magnificent and unparalleled in the world... (half a quarter of an hour of praise is omitted here) It is because you are too good that there are always people who are eager to replace you. Well, yes, Your Majesty did not Guess wrong, the concubine is talking about the queen mother!"

Although Jiang Ting doubts that the plot does not match the original novel, but who cares, it is developing in a direction that is beneficial to the female goose, so that is good, the big female goose is the biggest~

Rong Cen asked: "Then, have you seen what the Empress Dowager will do?"

"...No." Jiang Ting was like a discouraged little ball, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's useless to be a concubine."

Hey, she's really useless, she can't help the female goose even if she's wearing the script in her hand!
"Your predictive ability...how is it used?"

Rong Cen asked carefully, she wanted to check if there were other systems.

"Emmm, it's like opening the eyes of the sky. It works occasionally, but because it hits the head, it doesn't work most of the time."

Jiang Ting is perfunctory, and at the same time makes up for her misremembering the progress of the plot last time.

She already knew that the Queen Mother was imprisoned in the Lingzhou Palace, but the matter deviated from the original story line, how could she know what the Queen Mother had behind her!

Rong Cen raised his eyebrows: "Perhaps you know Yuan Shu?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Ting's eyes lit up, "He is the Queen Mother's greatest helper, Your Majesty, you have to get rid of him first, and break the Queen Mother's arm."

"He's already dead." The first thing Tong Haisong did when he arrived in Yizhou was to kill Yuan Shu, but the news was kept under wraps and he didn't release it.

Jiang Ting: "?!"

She remembered that Yuan Shu lived to the time when the hero Jiang Yun and the heroine Yue He formed an alliance to rule the world? ?
Forget it, the plot line of the original book is abolished, and her identity of wearing a book has become useless.

All I can say is, who did it?It's so good and so fast, it's so satisfying!
"The Queen Mother has a great helper beside her."

"Who?"

"Fengji. Do you know him?" Rong Cen raised his eyebrows again, looking at her confused face, it was quite interesting.

Jiang Ting shook his head.

She felt like she had entered a haunted house. His Majesty said that she saw two ghosts and was attacked by all kinds of fake ghosts with ugly faces.

"King An, do you know each other?"

"Yeah." Jiang Ting has heard of such a person, but he doesn't have a deep impression. He seems to be a soy saucer, ah, no soy sauce, he is just a background board. The author only mentioned a sentence when introducing the royal family members.

Rong Cen: "Can you see his future?"

Jiang Ting smiled: "...No, I'm sorry Your Majesty." Why does it feel that His Majesty is only interested in her prophecy ability?
"..."

No, why don’t you ask three questions?

Rong Cen lost interest in Jiang Ting, wishing she would disappear before his eyes immediately.It's still predictable, it's useless, it's not as good as the 4D movie clips that Rong Cen spends a huge amount of money to watch.

Sure enough, things that cost money are different.Refuse whoring for nothing, start with me!
-
After wasting precious time with Jiang Ting, Rong Cen madly added that every day, except for the morning court at the Jinluan Hall, the official memorials at the Hall of Renzheng, and eating and sleeping at the Longzhang Palace, the fixed life of three o'clock and one line made time pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was five days later.

Counting the distance, Meng Yang and Xiao Lian should have started the first round of negotiations with Xi Lin.

Rong Cen didn't doubt Meng Yang's strength at all. He was able to step on the big boat of the Empress Dowager Xi Wang Rongcen and stand in several teams at the same time.

No one can fool and calculate better than him.The bones of the body are almost nothing, and this kind of person deserves to die vigorously for the country.

Of course, it is best to negotiate before dying.

Rong Cen didn't curse Meng Yang to death, the main reason is that he likes to make troubles too much, the right way is to make him busy for his family and country!

If Xi Lin was a pack of ferocious wolves running wildly on the grassland, Meng Yang was a lone wolf in sheep's clothing in the sheep pen, who swallowed a few fat sheep in his stomach, and was always dormant and ready to go.Xi Lin is united and has few eyes. When the wolves on both sides meet, they will know who is the real wolf king.

I just don't know if Shao En, Wen Renxu and others have found it.These veterans are worrying.

It was useless to think about it, Rong Cen went on to read the memorial and choose the strategy for the northern border that could be adopted.

With Meng Yang in the west, there is no worry about the peace talks being delayed for the time being.

The three states in the northern border, Yaozhou is in the hands of Beiqiu, the people are miserable, and Beiqiu still wants to occupy Qingzhou again, but General Chen alone can't support it.What's more, there are Qiang barbarians in Bianzhou who are disturbing, but they have not sent troops to go there. I am afraid that the Bianzhou guards will not be able to defend for long.

Rong Cen's head was huge, and Wan Li entered the hall in panic.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"What's the panic?"

"The Duke's Mansion is bad!"

Rong Cen's eyebrows twitched: "Speak in detail!"

"The Duke died after three days of mourning. There were so many guests, and there were so many people. Someone secretly replaced the servants in the mansion. Just today, gangsters committed murder, and the scene was chaotic. The Empress Dowager was pushed away. She fell down and hit her head on the rockery. The doctor said that there was blood congestion, which might be life-threatening. Concubine Wen Shu was hit twice, on the left chest and right lower abdomen, and it was also life-threatening... The two are still in a coma Awake."

The Zihao in Rong Cen's hand fell, and the rich ink splashed on the memorial.

Her eyes turned red instantly, "Where's Xiao Lian?"

"Commander Xiao is so red-eyed, with one enemy against a hundred, he chased the last villain to the direction of Lingzhou..."

"Lingzhou."

Rong Cen closed his eyes, knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, why did he let them go to the tiger mountain?
"Where is the emperor's uncle?"

"You forgot, His Royal Highness the Regent stayed at the Duke's Mansion a few days ago."

Rong Cen forgot.On the day of the old Duke's funeral, she went out of the palace to see him off, and the regent stayed outside the palace after that.

"What about him? What happened?"

It didn't say that he was injured, his body should be fine, but in terms of mood, he must not feel well.

"Although His Royal Highness the Prince Regent had his skin scratched a little during the fight, he was fine, but because he didn't protect the Empress Dowager and Concubine Wen Shu well, he felt very guilty..."

Rong Cen was hesitating whether to leave the palace or not, and while hesitating, he suddenly thought of a person.

"What about Wen Zhao? When the Duke's Mansion was in chaos, was he there? What was he doing? Where is he now?"

"This man was not at the Duke's mansion when the chaos occurred. It is said that the father and mother caught a cold and went to their original home to visit their parents."

"There are many reasons for favoring him. Call him quickly."

"Yes."

At the end, Rong Cen asked Kong Lan again.

Wan Li replied: "Aunt Kong Lan went out to buy medicinal materials and escaped a catastrophe. Now she is decocting medicine to treat the Empress Dowager and Concubine Wen Shu."

"That's good." It's a blessing to have one less casualty.
-
It's not that Wen Zhao didn't know why the emperor called him urgently, but he didn't dare to resist the order.

Dayin implements the hereditary system of titles. The old Duke is one of the Dukes of the Five Kingdoms. If the old Duke dies, he will be the new Duke of Zhen, the youngest Duke of Dayin.But several days after his death, the emperor never mentioned holding a nobility ceremony for him.Then it's not too much for him to take some necessary measures, right?

He didn't want to attack the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, who would let someone not follow his wishes?

"See Your Majesty."

Wen Zhao is dressed in plain clothes, with a sad look on his brow.

Rong Cen looked at him not because of sadness, but because of other troubles.It's nothing more than a delay in accepting the title.

"Wen Zhao. Do you know anything about the Duke's Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, I heard. Zhao stayed in the mansion for a few days without incident, and it happened that he went to visit his uncle and aunt today. Unexpectedly, such a big event happened as soon as he left!" Wen Zhao's tears fell down his cheeks.

Wen Zhao was originally the elder brother of Concubine Wen Shu and Wen Dai, and his blood relationship was not far or close. Because Wen Dai's elder brother died in the battle at the border, the first emperor allowed him to adopt an heir.The old Duke was kind, and he did not break the relationship between Wen Zhao and his parents. He barely had two spouses, but he changed his name to his parents as uncles and aunts, and called the old Duke and the old lady's parents.

Rong Cen was impatient to act with him, "So, you are very suspicious."

"You are wronged! Your Majesty!"
