Daughter of Hou's Mansion

Shangguan absolutely ignored Mrs. Chen and the others, but went directly to the old prince's couch, took a look at his body, and then told Mr. Bai: "You can let someone decorate the mourning hall." Prince Qin must not die so silently.

Mr. Bai hesitated a little, stepped forward and said, "My son is..."

After all, Shangguan Jue came to Beijing secretly, so he can't appear in front of everyone at this time, but there are only a few heirs of the old prince, so he can't let that bastard Shangguan Yu help his spirit, Mr. Bai glanced at the muddy Shangguan Yu, couldn't help but shook his head, this man's tricks are not right.

At this time, a dark guard in black came in to report.

"His Royal Highness, the palace is surrounded by people."

"Who is it?" Director Bai turned pale with shock. Could it be that the emperor had already spotted Shangguan Jue? Thinking of this, Director Bai looked at Shangguan Yu more and more unkindly.

"Imperial Guards and Habayashi Guard."

The Imperial Guard Army was originally commanded by Marquis Wei Che of Weiyuan, but before the emperor transferred Marquis Weiyuan to the Xishan Camp, the Imperial Guard Army and the Habayashi Guard were handed over to the Qin family, showing great respect for the Qin family. To promote the Qin family is to build momentum for the little prince.

Compared to Mr. Bai's shock, Shangguan Jue's expression was very calm. If he just planned to meet the old prince at first, then after knowing that his death was unusual, he really couldn't leave as if nothing had happened. The emperor is suspicious, but is he really not afraid of being criticized by future generations for such achievements as Prince Qin's Mansion? Can't let him die well,

And he actually used Shangguan Yu's hand. Shangguan would rather the old prince knew nothing before his death. If he had noticed, it might not be the emperor's suspicion but Shangguan Yu's methods that would chill the old prince the most.

"Who is here?" Shangguan Jue asked after being silent for a moment.

"Jiang Aoran and Jiang Aojie." The dark guard replied.

Jiang Aoran is the second child of the Jiang family. After Wei Che retired from the Imperial Guard, he was the one who took over the Imperial Guard, and the youngest of the Jiang family, Jiang Aojie, was in charge of the Yulin Guard. It can be said that the safety of Shangjing has almost been handed over to the Jiang family. up.

"Purpose?" The imperial guards and the Habayashi guards must have a purpose to encircle the Prince Qin's mansion. Even if the emperor dared not issue a decree to kill the old prince, it can be seen that the emperor still has some fears in his heart. Killing a hero and a good general, and he is also his own uncle, if people really find out, he will be cast aside by thousands of people, and even the court will be unstable.

"They said that someone broke into the palace before, so this time they will search extensively."

"So you found the head of Prince Qin's residence?" Shangguan Jue asked coldly.

"Dark one, take all the people in the second room back to Mingyuexuan and take care of them. As for Shangguan Yu, as long as he doesn't let him die." After a while, Shangguan Jue had a plan in his mind, "Boss Bai, the one who announced the death of grandfather News, I want to see if the Jiang family brothers have the guts to break into grandfather's mourning hall directly."

Director Bai responded and left, the old prince's funeral had already been arranged, so after Shangguan Jue gave an order, all the red in the mansion were removed, replaced with white flags and white lanterns, and all the maids and servants in the mansion were replaced. Put on a white sackcloth.

After Shangguan Jue arranged everything, he whispered a few words into Murong Yurou's ear, this time Murong Yurou didn't argue with Shangguan Jue, but went out of the study directly.

But in a quarter of an hour, the mourning hall of the old prince was set up. Shangguan Jue changed into white mourning clothes and stood guard directly in the mourning hall. Didn't he just want to enter the palace to see if he returned to Beijing?So now he will tell everyone that he is returning to Beijing, and he will preside over the funeral of the old prince as the grandson of Prince Qin.

Outside Prince Qin's mansion, Jiang Aoran and Jiang Aojie saw the change in the mansion in just a moment, and their faces changed at the same time.

"Second brother, this is..." Jiang Aojie was speechless in shock.

Jiang Aoran's face was gloomy, he waved his hand directly, and ordered people to remove all the guards surrounding Prince Qin's mansion.

"Prince Qin is dead." Jiang Aojie was stunned by Jiang Aoran's words, although he already had a guess in his heart when he saw the white people arranged in the palace, but when this guess was confirmed, his heart was already shaken.

Among the military officers of the Great Xia Dynasty, most of them respected the Prince Qin's Mansion, and the Duke of Lu's Mansion started with martial arts. Although the political views of the two sides are different, this does not prevent Qin Aojie from worshiping the old prince, such a pillar figure It's such a silent death, I'm afraid the whole Great Xia Dynasty will be shocked, no wonder my brother dare not surround the palace with soldiers at this time, if the world knows that their Jiang family is still alive Surround the palace with soldiers, and the Jiang family will also be pushed to the forefront.

"Third brother, you go back to the mansion to prepare the ceremony. I will go to the palace to see the emperor. When I come back from the palace, we will come to the palace to pay respects." Jiang Aoran's expression was a little unpredictable, and they would lead the soldiers to surround him at this time. Staying in the palace, I also heard the news that Shangguan Jue had quietly returned from the northwest.

As the Marshal of the Northwest, Shangguanjue is not allowed to return to Beijing without the emperor's summons. This matter is either big or small. It depends on the emperor's mind. Of course, the Jiang family understands that the emperor is afraid of Prince Qin's mansion. , so he wanted to use this matter to attack Shangguanjue and the Prince Qin's mansion, but who knew that they found a reason to surround the Prince Qin's mansion, and the death knell rang in the mansion, even if the emperor trusted the Jiang family no longer. He will tell others about the fact that he instigated Shangguan Yu to assassinate the old prince. For the Jiang family, the death of Prince Qin is really a big deal.

Prince Qin died, the pillar of Prince Qin fell down, and the Jiang family's elbow system was gone. This should be a happy event for the Jiang family, but Jiang Aoran felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, as if From the beginning of their Jiang family's planning, everything has gone so smoothly, and the smoothness makes people feel inexplicably panicked.

"Second brother." Jiang Aojie didn't think as much as Jiang Aoran, and he couldn't help feeling sorry for the death of a generation of war gods. After seeing Jiang Aoran's words, he seemed to be lost in thought, so he couldn't help reminding him.

Jiang Aoran suddenly came back to his senses, with a complete look on his face, he said: "You go back to the mansion first, and I will enter the palace right away." As he spoke, he flicked his horsewhip, and one person and one horse flew out like arrows, and disappeared into the dense forest. In the dark night.

In Chengqian Hall, the emperor was still stunned for a quarter of an hour when he heard Wang Youde's report.

This is what he wants to see. He absolutely does not allow any stumbling blocks to lie on the road ahead, but when all this really happened, he still felt a sore feeling in his heart. The God of War has finally fallen. Uncle Huang, don’t blame me. If you hadn’t plotted against me first, I wouldn’t have attacked you. It was because of your disobedience that I would have done so.

Wang Youde knelt down, caught sight of the emperor's expression out of the corner of his eye, and said after a long while: "Your Majesty, here is an apology for the son of Prince Qin."

The emperor's body shook slightly, and then he said: "Bring it up."

Wang Youde bowed and presented the booklet.

This is the first time Shangguanjue handed him a notebook, but he is very familiar with the handwriting on the notebook, just because he taught Shangguanjue's handwriting, which is almost the same as his, the content of the notebook is very short , just to plead guilty for his unauthorized entry to Beijing, saying that he had heard that his grandfather was critically ill, so he went to Beijing day and night regardless of the rules.

At this time, another young eunuch came to report, saying that it was Jiang Aoran who asked to see him.

The emperor quickly sat back on the dragon chair, raised his hand and poured the slightly warm tea in front of the dragon table in one gulp, and then said in a deep voice, "Let him in."

It was clearly broad daylight, but the light in the Chengqian Palace seemed a little dim. When Jiang Aoran walked in with his head down, his brows were barely frowned. This Chengqian Palace is where the emperor lives. It should be the entire palace. The most honorable place, but the dim light, the muffled sound of the tide, and the air with a bit of decay are really not pleasant. What's wrong with the emperor, how can he like living in such an environment.

Jiang Aoran secretly slandered in his heart, but on the surface he was as usual, only his tone was a bit sad when he kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Prince Qin has passed away."

The relationship between the Qin family and Prince Qin is not harmonious. When Prince Qin served as the regent and took over the government temporarily on behalf of the emperor, there were several conflicts with his father, Duke Lu. Of course, this was all a matter of the court. Prince Qin He was the only prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, and also a prince with outstanding merits. His death was a loss to the Great Xia Dynasty. They should show their due sadness so as not to be criticized.

The emperor's tone was also very heavy: "I have already received the news, and the son of King Qin has already handed over the brochure."

"So the son of King Qin has returned to Beijing?" Jiang Aoran was startled and already figured out what Shangguan Jue's letter would say, so once the letter of pleading guilty was published, Shangguan Jue had an advantage Well, now it's hard for them to talk about his private trip to Beijing.

I'm afraid the emperor can only let it go lightly. The Prince of Qin has passed away, and it's too unkind to not allow his only direct grandson to enter the capital.

But the emperor thought more in his heart. What he was most worried about was whether Shangguan already knew something. If he knew that this matter was his order, then even Shangguan would not be able to let it go. Li still controls the Northwest Army. If he really knows all kinds of inside information, he will be ruthless even if he risks the world's displeasure.

"Wang Youde, change my clothes. I want to go to Prince Qin's mansion to pay homage to my uncle." The emperor suddenly stood up, he had to see Shangguan Yu.

ps: The flu broke out recently, everyone stay away from the crowd, the hospital has opened flu clinics, but unfortunately I can’t stay away, there are too many flu patients in the hospital, coughing to death.
