Chapter 346 After the war, before ascending the throne
Chapter 346 After the war, before ascending the throne
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Prime Minister Wan Wenbi and Minister of Personnel Yang Weiguang were still sitting nervously.
Yang Weiguang turned his head and said: "Wanxiang, tell me, what outcome will be waiting for you and me in half an hour?"
Wan Wenbi shook his head, "It doesn't matter. I have moved all my family members out of the city overnight. The worst is to die."
Yang Weiguang, who had a family of nearly a hundred people, looked shocked and stared at Wan Wenbi for a while, speechless.
Wan Wenbi laughed loudly, "Do you really think I dare to do this? Not to mention whether doing this rashly will alarm the snake and ruin the overall situation, but it will not affect the overall situation. In the future, the new monarch and the summer man can avoid it. Can you get me? Brother Ziming, your behavior today is not like your usual wisdom!"
Yang Weiguang was teased by Wan Wenbi and laughed dumbly, "Care will lead to chaos, care will lead to chaos!"
Wan Wenbi was actually very nervous himself. His smile slowly disappeared and he said softly: "Brother Ziming, why are you willing to stand up and support Concubine De and the Prince of Jiaodong?"
Yang Weiguang thought for a while, "Perhaps, the late emperor and the prince were both disappointing."
"Who does this person refer to?"
"The world."
Wan Wenbi nodded, "Yes, I wonder if God will give me a third chance in Daxia."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed in quickly and shouted: "Master Prime Minister! Your Majesty, no, the prince has been captured, the imperial army has surrendered, and Mr. Xia has already entered the palace with the Prince of Jiaodong County!"
The two of them stood up suddenly, both surprised and in a daze of disbelief. Did they really win so smoothly?
Wan Wenbi laughed loudly, "Brother Ziming, let's go and meet our third chance!"
Yang Weiguang twirled his beard happily, "Let's go! Let's meet the new emperor and the new world together!"
-
"quick!"
"hurry up!"
When Jingzhao Yin, Han Xueming and Xing Shigu rushed to the Donghua Gate with their people, the fighting inside and outside the gate was over.
Only the soldiers collecting the corpses of their comrades and the blood flowing all over the ground silently told the story of the tragedy and stalemate just now.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Han Xueming felt regretful!
Although he is not the kind of person who is greedy for profit, under this situation, he only regrets that he has lost two legs. He came with people, but missed the key battle situation. It is almost certain that the credit will be greatly lost. Shrunk.
Seeing that the great thing was accomplished, Xing Shigu breathed a sigh of relief without much regret. Seeing Han Xueming's expression, he stepped forward with a smile, "Sir, please rest assured that we all see your contribution and will definitely report it in detail." Concubine Mingde and Prince Jiaodong."
Han Xueming waved his hand, and was about to say a few high-sounding words to cover up the utilitarianism that was revealed inadvertently, when suddenly there was a noise behind him.
"Zheng family! Come with me! The regicide traitors will be punished by everyone!"
"Liu Jiazi, come to me! Be loyal to the country and avenge the late emperor, today!"
"I have been dormant for more than a month, waiting for this opportunity, vowing to kill the traitors, to rectify the relationship between heaven and earth, and to restore the country and the country!"
"People from Xing'an Bo Mansion, run faster! Kill one of the rebel gang members and you will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver. For the sake of the country, the late emperor, and the prince of Jiaodong County, I will not hesitate to bankrupt everything!"
"I, Taichang Qing Shen Xingwen, will take my whole family to help the Prince of Jiaodong County and avenge the late emperor!"
I saw civil and military officials, leading a group of servants armed with sticks, rushing towards the palace gate in a hurry.
That posture almost engraved the words "loyal minister and good general" on his forehead.
It seems that more than a month ago, the person who knelt down in the court to support the new king happened to be someone who looked very similar to them and had the same official position!
Han Xueming was so angry that he yelled, "They can do it! They are shameless and disgraceful!"
"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
Mr.
When Xing Shigu said this, Han Xueming did not continue to scold him.
Now he no longer looks at Xing Shigu as his subordinate, knowing that this man who has never left his side to help Concubine Xiang and the King of Jiaodong in times of crisis is about to take off in life.
He slowly calmed down his emotions and looked at the palace gate, "Tell me, will there still be a group of people like this standing in this new court?"
Mr. But it depends on what kind of atmosphere prevails. I have confidence in him."
Han Xueming understood what he meant and nodded slowly, "Yes. He is still very powerful."
After saying that, the two of them looked at Miyagi calmly, waiting in silence.
-
More than ten miles away, a huge team was running forward.
The panting lieutenant said out of breath: "General, are we still going?"
A strong man with a big waist and round arms also panted slightly, "Go! Why not go! Oh, damn, I can't anymore, stop and take a breath!"
"Stop! Rest where you are!"
The deputy general shouted as if he had been granted amnesty.
Everyone immediately sat down and staggered around, breathing heavily.
The deputy general looked at everyone and said, "General, do we really want to go?"
"Go, what if you don't go? Do you know that there are changes in Zhongjing, why should we sit in the camp and do nothing?"
"But when we went there, the day lilies were already cold!"
The brawny general turned to look at him and said, "Where is your horse?"
Lieutenant general:? ? ?
"Let me ask you, where is our horse?"
The deputy general finally understood and spread his hands, "Aren't all our war horses transferred away by Mr. Xiao? That's really cruel, not a single one was left. Oh, I know!"
The lieutenant general looked excited, "What the general means is that our horse was snatched away by Mr. Xiao, so we can only walk. Even if we are late, Mr. Xiao and His Majesty will have nothing to say. Maybe they can praise us for walking." We all have to go to King Qin, right?"
Right shit!
The brawny general rolled his eyes at him and squinted in the direction of the capital.
Qin Wang?
If His Majesty wins, then he will be King Qin.
If the Jiaodong County Prince wins, I will go to congratulate the new king!
"Get up and follow me, General!"
-
The battle for Miyagi has come to an end.
After the war subsided, Shang Zhicheng took over the defense again as a matter of course.
With rich experience and unparalleled popularity among the Forbidden Army, both the rearrangement of the entire palace and the screening and custody of the part of the Forbidden Army that had followed Linghu Jian to fight them were carried out very smoothly. smoothly.
As for how to deal with it, he would have to wait until the overall situation in the court was stabilized before he could discuss it with Xia Jingyun.
Dong Shenghu and another deputy general followed Shang Zhicheng, helping to deal with various matters.
After taking a moment, another person whispered: "Commander, if you want me to tell you, you shouldn't ask the tiger leader to go through Donghua Gate and go directly to Xihua Gate. As soon as I see you, I will definitely give it to you." It’s open.”
Dong Shenghu was worried and blaming himself because his previous hesitation caused the war to go to a disadvantage. When he heard this, he was furious, "Old Cheng, how could you do this!"
The man snorted, "I'm telling the truth! If you had left earlier, why would there have been so many things, and why would there have been so many brothers who ended up like this because they had no choice but to follow Linghu Jian."
"You motherfucker!"
Dong Shenghu took a sip and started to fuck him with his fists.
"enough!"
Shang Zhicheng said calmly: "Old Cheng, if you are angry, don't show it here. If I had gone to Xihuamen, you would be ridiculed by the tiger leader today. Are you really taking the word "rebellion" so easily?"
He looked at his former brothers below who were being kidnapped by Wu Hua Da, and said seriously, "I will go and intercede for them. I can no longer stay in the Forbidden Army. At least I will try my best to protect their future. Now, let me guard the palace city with peace of mind!" At this juncture, if something happens again, no matter how big or small, no one will beg for mercy on your behalf!"
Lao Cheng and Dong Shenghu looked solemn and responded with clasped fists.
Shang Zhicheng stood on the tower, looking at the pretentious and ugly behavior outside the palace wall, the civil and military officials who came in a hurry, and the silent sadness in the city, and he felt quite complicated.
But no matter what, we won in the end.
"Yes, I won!"
His eyes looked into the numerous palaces, as if searching for the two figures, one large and one small.
Miyagi's future has been decided, but the future of the entire world rests on those two shoulders.
-
Xia Jingyun held Dongfang Bai's hand, but he didn't rush to the Huangji Palace where the dragon chair was placed as the first stop.
Instead, under the leadership of Jin Zhong and others, they came to the mourning hall in the palace and came to the coffin of Emperor Chongning.
Because the auspicious day for the funeral has not yet arrived, and due to the requirements of the funeral agenda, Emperor Chongning's coffin has been preserved on ice and placed quietly and feebly in the palace.
But this is all a minor problem. It is not uncommon for an emperor to be buried for several months or even a year. His time is nothing at all.
It was only because of the hard work of the concubines who kept vigil every day and the officials who came to mourn every seven days that Emperor Chongning suffered countless slanders and secret curses after his death.
Perhaps this is also God's black humor, which makes this lonely man who usually makes people angry but dare not speak helplessly bear the resentment and curses after his death.
When the two figures were cast long shadows by the rising sun, covering the people in the hall and the coffin, the Chongning Emperor's concubines who were kneeling in the mourning hall were shocked and immediately knelt down respectfully.Their eyes were full of complexity as they looked at the little figure who walked into the mourning hall under the personal escort of Xia Jingyun and Yue Pingwu.
During the later period of the late emperor's reign, after Xia Jingyun appeared, they had speculated that he might be the future emperor;
After the late emperor died suddenly and the prince ascended the throne, they thought he was definitely in trouble;
But now, like thunder on the ground, after a vaguely audible fight, he stood here and stood in front of them as the final winner.
Although Dongfang Bai was much smaller and more immature than his brother the prince at this time, these concubines felt from his calm eyes, steady steps, and inexplicable calm temperament that he seemed to be He is more like a king than a prince.
When they walked in, the sensible spiritual official offered incense and respectfully placed two futons.
Dongfang Bai looked at the coffin in front of him, where his father was lying.
Quietly, there will no longer be a trace of power that makes him feel fearful and cautious. Those frightening honors and powers seem to have been ended along with his life. Today, his father is finally equal to the people of the world.
"Bring me a stool."
Xia Jingyun ordered softly, and soon someone brought a stool. Xia Jingyun helped Dongfang Bai onto the stool, and saw the remains of Emperor Chongning with him.
He lay quietly in the coffin, as if sleeping.
His hair was combed neatly, he was wearing an imperial crown, his face was as usual, with a short mustache, and he was wearing a robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon. In the world after death, he still wanted to declare his status as an emperor.
But in the world, few people care about him anymore.
Xia Jingyun silently looked at this emperor with whom he had many interactions. In the first ten years, he worked hard to govern, and he was close to virtuous ministers and far away from villains, leading the Xia Dynasty to show signs of a renaissance. In the next ten years, he was mediocre and ruined the country. He was obsessed with power and people's hearts. In the supreme compliment, he forgot about the common people, and finally died sadly.
If we were to name the temple, [Xuanzong] would be very appropriate.
After sighing with emotion, Dongfang Bai took the incense and cried sincerely for a while. Everyone couldn't help but sigh that the emperor who was about to ascend the throne was indeed a benevolent and filial king.
-
Squeak!
The door of the East Palace, which had been closed for several days, was slowly pushed open, making a dull and dry sound.
The prince in Beijing, who had listened to the fighting cries for half a day, looked nervously at the door, waiting for the outcome of a battle that related to the fate of all of them.
They gathered together as if to gain strength from the crowd to fight against the fear of the unknown.
When the door was completely pushed open, a woman appeared in their sight.
A face without makeup does not lose half of its beauty;
A simple skirt without complicated palace patterns, but it is the ultimate grace and elegance in the world;
She walked in with calm steps, and her gentleness suppressed the murderous aura behind her who was wearing armor and holding a gun.
Elegant, noble, and unparalleled in elegance.
"Concubine De?"
"Empress De Fei?!"
Screams of surprise rang out, they were shocked at the person in front of them, and they were even more shocked at what it meant for this person to appear in front of them.
Your Majesty, oh no, the prince, you actually lost?
Concubine De slowly said: "The prince has no virtue, killed his king and his father, usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Fortunately, people with lofty ideals worked together to not fear the power, held high the banner of justice, and avenged the late emperor. Now that the prince has been captured, the King of Jiaodong County has entered the palace to take charge of the overall situation. , Princes, do you have any objections to this?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all with hesitation on their faces.
From the perspective of profit alone, although Concubine De occupied Zhongjing, Xiao Fengshan and the British Duke still had tens of thousands of troops outside, and they only had the land of three states. It was still unclear who would win, and who could guarantee that it would not happen again?
What's more, many of them had previously benefited from the crown prince's ascension to the throne. Can they continue to be guaranteed when the Jiaodong County Prince comes to power?
Furthermore, when the new king takes the throne, if the support behind him is not enough, this is the time when they can negotiate with him and compete for the power of the new dynasty.
So, an old prince took the lead and said, "Concubine De, now that the new king has ascended the throne, what will the prince do when he takes over?"
Concubine De calmly said: "The prince has usurped the throne and ascended the throne. As soon as the reward and administration were due, he will consider it as invalid and take it back."
Immediately, someone said: "The change of imperial power has nothing to do with us. All rewards come from above. As ministers, we obey the will of the emperor. Why do you cancel it and take it back?"
Her words were quite rude, and it was clear that she was bullying De Fei's usual gentleness and generosity.
Concubine De frowned, "There are many doubts about the death of the late emperor. All members of the royal family, princes and ministers were all greatly favored by the late emperor. On that day, the prince committed regicide and usurped the throne. Can any of you stand up and say something wrong today? People with lofty ideals fought bloody battles at the palace gates to finally bring order to the chaos. I thought that since you were imprisoned here, I never criticized you for not going to fight, but you are still bargaining with me here? Have your consciences been fed to the dogs? "
If Xia Jingyun was standing here, or even Shang Zhicheng, Yue Pingwu and other warriors were standing here, and said these words, everyone would probably have to shrink their necks and admit it.
But it happened that Concubine De was such a woman, a person from a small family with no foundation, and a person who had always been famous for her generosity and kindness, so they boldly became angry.
Of course they are not stupid. It is impossible for them to dare to directly express their opposition to the Jiaodong Prince's ascension to the throne under the current situation. Instead, they have to use their posture to force Concubine De to give up in the name of the clan and the prince. Some promises and concessions.
Imperial power belongs to only one person, so the imperial power can never govern the world alone.
"Concubine De, you can't say that. There has never been any public discussion on the theory of regicide. As the crown prince, it is natural for him to succeed to the throne after the death of the late emperor. But now, I am afraid that some teachers are unknown, right?"
"We are all our own people here. Everyone knows what is going on with some things. We can give you this face and settle your name, but you also have to give us face. Do you think this is the truth?"
"Empress De Fei, please don't forget that there are still Kyushu in this world, and there are also tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the British Duke Xiao Fengshan. We must unite as one!"
Everyone spoke one after another, and Concubine De lowered her head slightly, looking a little helpless.
The corners of many people's mouths curled up coldly. You, a woman from a small family, without the power of your mother's family, can you handle this incredible wealth?
So what if you capture Miyagi?If you want to secure the throne and the world, you have to rely on everyone's help.
After a moment of silence, Concubine De said: "I will discuss this matter with others in detail. There is a big event at the moment. If you are willing to enter the palace now and see the new emperor, please come here."
Everyone was silent, and most of them stood still with their arms folded in a confident manner.
Only a few people came out and stood on the right side where Concubine De indicated.
The head of the Qin family is naturally the fastest one.
King Cheng hesitated for a moment, thinking of Xia Jingyun's figure, and finally gritted his teeth and stood over.
But that’s about it.
The remaining people who did not move felt even more proud when they saw that there were only a dozen people following Concubine De. Even though the late emperor was so authoritative, they, the princes and princes, were not afraid of him. The laws of the imperial court had nothing to do with them, and all the people's wealth and anointment were wiped out by them. Enjoy, it is true that the emperor is the supreme, but they are the real masters of this country.
Concubine De and Prince Jiaodong ascended the throne by chance, taking advantage of the opportunity to expand their power. The more they can survive now and remain calm, the greater their future benefits will be.
Concubine De looked at them with calm eyes, without any disturbance.
It was this calmness that made these people suddenly feel that something was wrong. Why didn't she panic?
Is it obvious that she should make a concession at this time, and then the two parties would engage in some push-and-pull negotiations, and finally each would agree to a share of the benefits, reach the final collusion, and then enter the palace together to congratulate the new king?
Why is she silent?
Just when everyone was on edge and trying to calm themselves down, Concubine De finally spoke, but the words she spoke left them all stunned.
"Prince Dongfang Ming was very vicious. Seeing that the situation was not good, he wanted to take advantage of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty to protect himself. He went through the patrol camp and tried his best to rescue them, but still only saved these ten princes. The rest were all slaughtered by the prince's remnant party. The Manchu princes were also killed. sad."
She stared straight at Yang Yinghui, and Yang Yinghui was shocked. She didn't expect that this seemingly gentle empress had such a ruthless and determined heart.
Immediately he smiled bitterly. This was to force him to hand over a real certificate of surrender to the new emperor and the new dynasty. With this certificate of surrender, he was really determined to never turn back and could only follow the path of the Jiaodong County Prince. It's dark.
However, since the King of Jiaodong County has become His Majesty, he is afraid of a ball!
Now that the surrender certificate has been handed in, will the future glory and wealth be less?
Thinking of this, he waved his hand, and his soldiers surrounded everyone in the field.
"Concubine De! How dare you!"
"How dare you, a bitch from the border, do such a rebellious thing!"
"Your Majesty! I was wrong! Your Majesty, I am willing to support you as the new king!"
"Empress! I was just distracted down there. My loyalty to you is absolute!"
"Yun Qingzhu, you bitch who rides on a thousand people and sleeps with ten thousand people! You must die a good death!"
"Dongfang Bai raised an army to rebel, using false pretenses, and everyone in the world will not obey him!"
The people who were surrounded saw that something was not going well, and they reacted in different ways, intimidating, threatening, begging for mercy, scolding, and crying.
Concubine De did not look behind her anymore, looking at the dozen or so survivors dripping with cold sweat, "Princes, please?"
"Thank you madam!"
Everyone swallowed their saliva and followed Concubine De to the palace.
Listening to the sudden screams of fighting behind her, Concubine De narrowed her eyes slightly.
Gao Yang once said that the downfall of a country often lies in these intertwined interest groups. If this is the case, let's burn it!It was clean and frank, just enough for them, the monarch and his ministers, to do whatever they wanted.
This can't be done by Xue'er who wants to be a wise king and a saint. Gao Yang can't do this by Gao Yang who wants to be a perfect saint. Let her do it.
What will happen if a woman in a deep palace slanders me and slanders me in future generations?
The wind blew gently, and Concubine Yun Qingzhu calmly walked into the palace that others yearned for, but was about to imprison her for the rest of her life.
(End of this chapter)
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Prime Minister Wan Wenbi and Minister of Personnel Yang Weiguang were still sitting nervously.
Yang Weiguang turned his head and said: "Wanxiang, tell me, what outcome will be waiting for you and me in half an hour?"

Yang Weiguang was teased by Wan Wenbi and laughed dumbly, "Care will lead to chaos, care will lead to chaos!"
Wan Wenbi was actually very nervous himself. His smile slowly disappeared and he said softly: "Brother Ziming, why are you willing to stand up and support Concubine De and the Prince of Jiaodong?"
Yang Weiguang thought for a while, "Perhaps, the late emperor and the prince were both disappointing."

"The world."
Wan Wenbi nodded, "Yes, I wonder if God will give me a third chance in Daxia."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed in quickly and shouted: "Master Prime Minister! Your Majesty, no, the prince has been captured, the imperial army has surrendered, and Mr. Xia has already entered the palace with the Prince of Jiaodong County!"
The two of them stood up suddenly, both surprised and in a daze of disbelief. Did they really win so smoothly?
Wan Wenbi laughed loudly, "Brother Ziming, let's go and meet our third chance!"
Yang Weiguang twirled his beard happily, "Let's go! Let's meet the new emperor and the new world together!"
-
"quick!"
"hurry up!"
When Jingzhao Yin, Han Xueming and Xing Shigu rushed to the Donghua Gate with their people, the fighting inside and outside the gate was over.
Only the soldiers collecting the corpses of their comrades and the blood flowing all over the ground silently told the story of the tragedy and stalemate just now.

"I, Taichang Qing Shen Xingwen, will take my whole family to help the Prince of Jiaodong County and avenge the late emperor!"
I saw civil and military officials, leading a group of servants armed with sticks, rushing towards the palace gate in a hurry.
That posture almost engraved the words "loyal minister and good general" on his forehead.
It seems that more than a month ago, the person who knelt down in the court to support the new king happened to be someone who looked very similar to them and had the same official position!
Han Xueming was so angry that he yelled, "They can do it! They are shameless and disgraceful!"
"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
Mr.
When Xing Shigu said this, Han Xueming did not continue to scold him.
Now he no longer looks at Xing Shigu as his subordinate, knowing that this man who has never left his side to help Concubine Xiang and the King of Jiaodong in times of crisis is about to take off in life.
He slowly calmed down his emotions and looked at the palace gate, "Tell me, will there still be a group of people like this standing in this new court?"
Mr. But it depends on what kind of atmosphere prevails. I have confidence in him."
Han Xueming understood what he meant and nodded slowly, "Yes. He is still very powerful."
After saying that, the two of them looked at Miyagi calmly, waiting in silence.
-
More than ten miles away, a huge team was running forward.
The panting lieutenant said out of breath: "General, are we still going?"
A strong man with a big waist and round arms also panted slightly, "Go! Why not go! Oh, damn, I can't anymore, stop and take a breath!"
"Stop! Rest where you are!"
The deputy general shouted as if he had been granted amnesty.
Everyone immediately sat down and staggered around, breathing heavily.
The deputy general looked at everyone and said, "General, do we really want to go?"
"Go, what if you don't go? Do you know that there are changes in Zhongjing, why should we sit in the camp and do nothing?"
"But when we went there, the day lilies were already cold!"
The brawny general turned to look at him and said, "Where is your horse?"
Lieutenant general:? ? ?
"Let me ask you, where is our horse?"
The deputy general finally understood and spread his hands, "Aren't all our war horses transferred away by Mr. Xiao? That's really cruel, not a single one was left. Oh, I know!"
The lieutenant general looked excited, "What the general means is that our horse was snatched away by Mr. Xiao, so we can only walk. Even if we are late, Mr. Xiao and His Majesty will have nothing to say. Maybe they can praise us for walking." We all have to go to King Qin, right?"
Right shit!
The brawny general rolled his eyes at him and squinted in the direction of the capital.
Qin Wang?
If His Majesty wins, then he will be King Qin.
If the Jiaodong County Prince wins, I will go to congratulate the new king!
"Get up and follow me, General!"
-
The battle for Miyagi has come to an end.
After the war subsided, Shang Zhicheng took over the defense again as a matter of course.
With rich experience and unparalleled popularity among the Forbidden Army, both the rearrangement of the entire palace and the screening and custody of the part of the Forbidden Army that had followed Linghu Jian to fight them were carried out very smoothly. smoothly.

Dong Shenghu was worried and blaming himself because his previous hesitation caused the war to go to a disadvantage. When he heard this, he was furious, "Old Cheng, how could you do this!"
The man snorted, "I'm telling the truth! If you had left earlier, why would there have been so many things, and why would there have been so many brothers who ended up like this because they had no choice but to follow Linghu Jian."
"You motherfucker!"
Dong Shenghu took a sip and started to fuck him with his fists.
"enough!"
Shang Zhicheng said calmly: "Old Cheng, if you are angry, don't show it here. If I had gone to Xihuamen, you would be ridiculed by the tiger leader today. Are you really taking the word "rebellion" so easily?"
He looked at his former brothers below who were being kidnapped by Wu Hua Da, and said seriously, "I will go and intercede for them. I can no longer stay in the Forbidden Army.

Lao Cheng and Dong Shenghu looked solemn and responded with clasped fists.
Shang Zhicheng stood on the tower, looking at the pretentious and ugly behavior outside the palace wall, the civil and military officials who came in a hurry, and the silent sadness in the city, and he felt quite complicated.
But no matter what, we won in the end.
"Yes, I won!"
His eyes looked into the numerous palaces, as if searching for the two figures, one large and one small.
Miyagi's future has been decided, but the future of the entire world rests on those two shoulders.

Xia Jingyun held Dongfang Bai's hand, but he didn't rush to the Huangji Palace where the dragon chair was placed as the first stop.

Although Dongfang Bai was much smaller and more immature than his brother the prince at this time, these concubines felt from his calm eyes, steady steps, and inexplicable calm temperament that he seemed to be He is more like a king than a prince.
When they walked in, the sensible spiritual official offered incense and respectfully placed two futons.
Dongfang Bai looked at the coffin in front of him, where his father was lying.
Quietly, there will no longer be a trace of power that makes him feel fearful and cautious. Those frightening honors and powers seem to have been ended along with his life. Today, his father is finally equal to the people of the world.
"Bring me a stool."
Xia Jingyun ordered softly, and soon someone brought a stool. Xia Jingyun helped Dongfang Bai onto the stool, and saw the remains of Emperor Chongning with him.
He lay quietly in the coffin, as if sleeping.
His hair was combed neatly, he was wearing an imperial crown, his face was as usual, with a short mustache, and he was wearing a robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon. In the world after death, he still wanted to declare his status as an emperor.
But in the world, few people care about him anymore.
Xia Jingyun silently looked at this emperor with whom he had many interactions. In the first ten years, he worked hard to govern, and he was close to virtuous ministers and far away from villains, leading the Xia Dynasty to show signs of a renaissance. In the next ten years, he was mediocre and ruined the country. He was obsessed with power and people's hearts. In the supreme compliment, he forgot about the common people, and finally died sadly.
If we were to name the temple, [Xuanzong] would be very appropriate.
After sighing with emotion, Dongfang Bai took the incense and cried sincerely for a while. Everyone couldn't help but sigh that the emperor who was about to ascend the throne was indeed a benevolent and filial king.

Squeak!
The door of the East Palace, which had been closed for several days, was slowly pushed open, making a dull and dry sound.
The prince in Beijing, who had listened to the fighting cries for half a day, looked nervously at the door, waiting for the outcome of a battle that related to the fate of all of them.
They gathered together as if to gain strength from the crowd to fight against the fear of the unknown.
When the door was completely pushed open, a woman appeared in their sight.
A face without makeup does not lose half of its beauty;
A simple skirt without complicated palace patterns, but it is the ultimate grace and elegance in the world;
She walked in with calm steps, and her gentleness suppressed the murderous aura behind her who was wearing armor and holding a gun.
Elegant, noble, and unparalleled in elegance.
"Concubine De?"
"Empress De Fei?!"
Screams of surprise rang out, they were shocked at the person in front of them, and they were even more shocked at what it meant for this person to appear in front of them.
Your Majesty, oh no, the prince, you actually lost?
Concubine De slowly said: "The prince has no virtue, killed his king and his father, usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Fortunately, people with lofty ideals worked together to not fear the power, held high the banner of justice, and avenged the late emperor. Now that the prince has been captured, the King of Jiaodong County has entered the palace to take charge of the overall situation. , Princes, do you have any objections to this?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all with hesitation on their faces.
From the perspective of profit alone, although Concubine De occupied Zhongjing, Xiao Fengshan and the British Duke still had tens of thousands of troops outside, and they only had the land of three states. It was still unclear who would win, and who could guarantee that it would not happen again?
What's more, many of them had previously benefited from the crown prince's ascension to the throne. Can they continue to be guaranteed when the Jiaodong County Prince comes to power?
Furthermore, when the new king takes the throne, if the support behind him is not enough, this is the time when they can negotiate with him and compete for the power of the new dynasty.
So, an old prince took the lead and said, "Concubine De, now that the new king has ascended the throne, what will the prince do when he takes over?"
Concubine De calmly said: "The prince has usurped the throne and ascended the throne. As soon as the reward and administration were due, he will consider it as invalid and take it back."
Immediately, someone said: "The change of imperial power has nothing to do with us. All rewards come from above. As ministers, we obey the will of the emperor. Why do you cancel it and take it back?"
Her words were quite rude, and it was clear that she was bullying De Fei's usual gentleness and generosity.
Concubine De frowned, "There are many doubts about the death of the late emperor. All members of the royal family, princes and ministers were all greatly favored by the late emperor. On that day, the prince committed regicide and usurped the throne. Can any of you stand up and say something wrong today? People with lofty ideals fought bloody battles at the palace gates to finally bring order to the chaos. I thought that since you were imprisoned here, I never criticized you for not going to fight, but you are still bargaining with me here? Have your consciences been fed to the dogs? "
If Xia Jingyun was standing here, or even Shang Zhicheng, Yue Pingwu and other warriors were standing here, and said these words, everyone would probably have to shrink their necks and admit it.
But it happened that Concubine De was such a woman, a person from a small family with no foundation, and a person who had always been famous for her generosity and kindness, so they boldly became angry.
Of course they are not stupid. It is impossible for them to dare to directly express their opposition to the Jiaodong Prince's ascension to the throne under the current situation. Instead, they have to use their posture to force Concubine De to give up in the name of the clan and the prince. Some promises and concessions.
Imperial power belongs to only one person, so the imperial power can never govern the world alone.
"Concubine De, you can't say that. There has never been any public discussion on the theory of regicide. As the crown prince, it is natural for him to succeed to the throne after the death of the late emperor. But now, I am afraid that some teachers are unknown, right?"
"We are all our own people here. Everyone knows what is going on with some things. We can give you this face and settle your name, but you also have to give us face. Do you think this is the truth?"
"Empress De Fei, please don't forget that there are still Kyushu in this world, and there are also tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the British Duke Xiao Fengshan. We must unite as one!"
Everyone spoke one after another, and Concubine De lowered her head slightly, looking a little helpless.
The corners of many people's mouths curled up coldly. You, a woman from a small family, without the power of your mother's family, can you handle this incredible wealth?
So what if you capture Miyagi?If you want to secure the throne and the world, you have to rely on everyone's help.
After a moment of silence, Concubine De said: "I will discuss this matter with others in detail. There is a big event at the moment. If you are willing to enter the palace now and see the new emperor, please come here."
Everyone was silent, and most of them stood still with their arms folded in a confident manner.
Only a few people came out and stood on the right side where Concubine De indicated.
The head of the Qin family is naturally the fastest one.
King Cheng hesitated for a moment, thinking of Xia Jingyun's figure, and finally gritted his teeth and stood over.
But that’s about it.
The remaining people who did not move felt even more proud when they saw that there were only a dozen people following Concubine De. Even though the late emperor was so authoritative, they, the princes and princes, were not afraid of him. The laws of the imperial court had nothing to do with them, and all the people's wealth and anointment were wiped out by them. Enjoy, it is true that the emperor is the supreme, but they are the real masters of this country.
Concubine De and Prince Jiaodong ascended the throne by chance, taking advantage of the opportunity to expand their power. The more they can survive now and remain calm, the greater their future benefits will be.
Concubine De looked at them with calm eyes, without any disturbance.
It was this calmness that made these people suddenly feel that something was wrong. Why didn't she panic?
Is it obvious that she should make a concession at this time, and then the two parties would engage in some push-and-pull negotiations, and finally each would agree to a share of the benefits, reach the final collusion, and then enter the palace together to congratulate the new king?
Why is she silent?
Just when everyone was on edge and trying to calm themselves down, Concubine De finally spoke, but the words she spoke left them all stunned.
"Prince Dongfang Ming was very vicious. Seeing that the situation was not good, he wanted to take advantage of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty to protect himself. He went through the patrol camp and tried his best to rescue them, but still only saved these ten princes. The rest were all slaughtered by the prince's remnant party. The Manchu princes were also killed. sad."
She stared straight at Yang Yinghui, and Yang Yinghui was shocked. She didn't expect that this seemingly gentle empress had such a ruthless and determined heart.
Immediately he smiled bitterly. This was to force him to hand over a real certificate of surrender to the new emperor and the new dynasty. With this certificate of surrender, he was really determined to never turn back and could only follow the path of the Jiaodong County Prince. It's dark.
However, since the King of Jiaodong County has become His Majesty, he is afraid of a ball!
Now that the surrender certificate has been handed in, will the future glory and wealth be less?
Thinking of this, he waved his hand, and his soldiers surrounded everyone in the field.
"Concubine De! How dare you!"
"How dare you, a bitch from the border, do such a rebellious thing!"
"Your Majesty! I was wrong! Your Majesty, I am willing to support you as the new king!"
"Empress! I was just distracted down there. My loyalty to you is absolute!"
"Yun Qingzhu, you bitch who rides on a thousand people and sleeps with ten thousand people! You must die a good death!"
"Dongfang Bai raised an army to rebel, using false pretenses, and everyone in the world will not obey him!"
The people who were surrounded saw that something was not going well, and they reacted in different ways, intimidating, threatening, begging for mercy, scolding, and crying.
Concubine De did not look behind her anymore, looking at the dozen or so survivors dripping with cold sweat, "Princes, please?"
"Thank you madam!"
Everyone swallowed their saliva and followed Concubine De to the palace.
Listening to the sudden screams of fighting behind her, Concubine De narrowed her eyes slightly.
Gao Yang once said that the downfall of a country often lies in these intertwined interest groups. If this is the case, let's burn it!It was clean and frank, just enough for them, the monarch and his ministers, to do whatever they wanted.
This can't be done by Xue'er who wants to be a wise king and a saint. Gao Yang can't do this by Gao Yang who wants to be a perfect saint. Let her do it.
What will happen if a woman in a deep palace slanders me and slanders me in future generations?
The wind blew gently, and Concubine Yun Qingzhu calmly walked into the palace that others yearned for, but was about to imprison her for the rest of her life.
