The return of the first daughter

Chapter 278 The New Emperor

The city gate was closed for a whole day and night, and it was not reopened until an astonishing number of officers and soldiers searched the entire capital several times without success.

There is no news about the old Meng Wangyi, and no one knows whether the old Meng Wang has left the capital or is hiding in a special corner of the capital at this moment, but no matter what, the capital is no different from other places, and no matter how important a person is, it is impossible to make him The gates of the entire capital city have been closed tightly, so the impact will only be more detrimental.

More importantly, such a situation might cause people to panic. For King Qing, such a result was certainly not what he wanted.

"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, and I still haven't found the whereabouts of the old Meng King!" King Qing's confidant complained with great self-blame: "Please forgive me, my subordinates are willing to accept any punishment!"

King Qing waved his hand, but his expression was calm: "Forget it, let him go if you can't find it. It's not your fault."

Seeing that the master didn't punish him, the confidant thought for a while and said again: "My lord, why don't I bring people to explore Prince Mo's mansion at night? This subordinate has already invited the number one expert in Jianghu, no matter what expert there is in Prince Mo's mansion." Sit in the formation, and guarantee that everyone can come and go like the wind!"

"No need, this matter should not be done by Prince Mo's Palace." King Qing shook his head: "Father's previous methods against Luo and Meng were too vicious, and the Meng family may have made up their minds to rebel! Is this king's misconsideration, or is he a step behind them."

"My lord, even if what happened to the old King Meng was not done by Prince Mo's mansion, those flowers in your yard the night before yesterday must have been done by people from Prince Mo's mansion!" My confidant was very indignant: "This matter can't just be left like this , Mo Li is obviously provoking you. This subordinate thought that he had to teach Prince Mo's House a lesson!"

"Lessons? What's the use of mere lessons? That's fine. I know this matter well, so don't worry about it."

King Qing sneered, but he wasn't that impatient, what he wanted was not just to find a place, Mo Li would be his biggest enemy, both public and private, treat the enemy.What they want is the ultimate destruction, not some little lessons like playing tricks!

"Go and do your work. The emperor has slept for so long, and it's time to wake up and explain the big things." There was no expression on his face, and his expression was as cold as ever: "Remember to take care of the old ministers like Sangong Zaifu and others." Call them all, if they testify in person, it will save a lot of trouble."

"Yes! Please rest assured, my lord, this subordinate will definitely handle this matter beautifully!" The confidant took orders immediately.

In the early morning of the next day, great news spread from the palace. Last night, the emperor finally woke up, although he did not wake up for too long.However, he took advantage of that meeting to pass on the throne to the sixth prince, King Qing, in public, and the emperor himself no longer participated in government affairs due to his physical condition.Then he proclaimed himself the Supreme Emperor and recuperated in Tsinghua Garden.

In this way, King Qing became the new monarch of Dongming, and the Ministry of Rites immediately began preparations for his enthronement, and the palace was filled with joy and joy.

The emperor's abdication letter was also sent to counties and counties in Dongming at the first moment, and the new emperor passed on the decree to the world, and exempted the people in Gannan, Huaizhou and other places from paying taxes for three years.I hope that the king and the people will work together to tide over the difficulties.Create prosperity together!

All of a sudden, the discussion about the new emperor really reached an unprecedented height. The whole capital was wearing red and holding colors, congratulating the new emperor, and looking forward to the new emperor's enthronement ceremony in the near future.In the shortest time, the news had spread to various places in Dongming, and a small number of people had a slightly better year because of the succession of the new emperor.

Because the situation of the new king's succession is a bit special, and the court cannot be without a king for a day, the date chosen for the enthronement ceremony is very close, and it is set on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The preparations for many matters seemed to be very reluctant, and some of them were directly omitted by the sixth prince. As a result, this year's enthronement ceremony was not as popular as the previous years' Lantern Festival banquet.

However, if there is a loss, there must be a gain. The Sixth Prince's request to keep everything simple this time has given him the name of being sympathetic to the sufferings of the people, frugal and benevolent, which invisibly added a bit of popular support to him.

Even the rebellion situation in Gannan has been brought under certain control because of this, and the army of the Qing Dynasty has sent success stories one after another, which can be regarded as the best gift for the succession ceremony of the new king.

But this time, the sixth prince didn't let anyone notify the neighboring countries to send envoys to participate in the grand ceremony. Everything was kept simple, and all the expenses saved by enthroning Daqu were used to benefit the people everywhere.

And the king of Qing changed his reign name to Shunkang, and now it is considered the first year of Shunkang. It sounds like a good atmosphere of smooth and healthy life!

In just over two months, the new emperor really showed diligence, simplicity, and wisdom beyond everyone's imagination. During these two months, there was not a palace banquet in the palace, and there was no one specially held for him. At the celebration table, some of them are just busy with the important affairs of the court every day, and solve the troublesome things in various places.

As a result, in just over two months, the Sixth Prince quickly gained the support of many ministers, and many people saw a ray of hope for this country that was on the verge of being broken.

However, no matter how hard the new emperor tried, he could not reverse the decline of Dongming by himself.When the tree has rotted to the bottom of the root, no amount of other efforts can only make the tree live for a few more days.

This year, people in the entire capital are living in an extremely simple manner. Banquets and the like have been invisibly affected by the actions of the new emperor, and they have decreased a lot. Generally luxurious and flamboyant.

In a few days, it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the enthronement ceremony of King Qing.

Not only Han Feng Han Jing, but even Han Jiangxue was included in the list of spectators for that day.The new emperor also specially sent palace officials to announce in advance, so that Han Feng would remember to bring Han Jiangxue into the palace to watch the ceremony.

As the daughter-in-law of the Han Jiangxue family, it is not too special to be included in the ceremony viewing list, but the new emperor sent someone to personally notify him so solemnly, and his intention was to make the Han family feel uncomfortable. Don't think too much about it.

"Xue'er, in my opinion, the emperor still has no hope of giving up on you." Han Feng looked very worried, and said to his daughter: "Otherwise, you will just pretend to be sick and leave, my eyes always jump. It’s terrible, and I’m always worried that something will happen that day.”

"What if we don't go there? We sent someone here to make an order just now, what if we accuse my sister of deceiving the emperor and resisting the order?" Han Jing shook his head, not thinking that his father's method was of any use. OK

Besides, if this kind of thing can be avoided once or twice, can it be avoided all the time?The sixth prince is now a righteous emperor, who knows what kind of serious consequences he will have if he loses his nerve.

"Then what should we do? Otherwise, we can discuss it with Mo Li and arrange the marriage of the two of you in advance!" Han Feng's temper is now much more straightforward than before: "Anyway, the preparations for the two marriages are almost the same. Now, if you become a relative, it's over once and for all, no matter how hard the emperor wants to be, he can only die!"

Seemingly thinking that his idea was good, Han Feng looked at his son and daughter expectantly, wanting to be recognized.

But Han Jing couldn't help laughing, and directly waved his hands and said: "Father, do you think that the emperor's mind is so simple now, if his sister is married, he can give up, then he should have given up when he was engaged. These are two different things, not as easy to settle as you think."

After hearing this, Han Jiangxue also said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, no matter what the emperor thinks, in short, at this time, he has a lot of things on hand, and the former emperor left him such a big mess. It’s not a matter of January or two months for the surface to take shape. At this time, I probably don’t have much time to think about these messy things.”

"That's not necessarily true. I see that the emperor really has unusual thoughts about you." Han Jing disagreed a little: "Sister, you'd better not be too careless. It's not convenient for the emperor to tell you about this kind of thing." , but if you do things secretly, there is no guarantee that something bad will happen. In my opinion, we should find some time to discuss with Mo Li, and see if there is any way to make the emperor die."

"Yes, my father thinks what your elder brother said is reasonable." Han Feng also said: "Look at the past month or so, the emperor sent people to send things if he had something to do. Although they were all small things, they didn't name them. It's for you, but anyone can see what it's all about."

Han Feng felt a headache when he recalled those things. The emperor rewarded them and it was not easy to return them. He hinted to the eunuch who delivered the things, but the other party ignored them at all, and just sent them new things every few days.

There was no other way, Han Feng had to find a special room to put it away, and let someone take care of it first.

Hearing his father mention those things, Han Jiangxue also had a headache.

Regardless of whether those things are precious or not, the meaning of sending them from the emperor is completely different. However, the new emperor has made no secret of this aspect now, and is not afraid of others knowing what he shouldn't have to other people's fiancées. idea.

"I will discuss this matter with Mo Li. However, let's find a way to get rid of those things first." Han Jiangxue helped his forehead, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and had an idea in his mind.

"How to deal with it? Those things are rewards from the emperor, we can't throw them away or stop them, otherwise..."

Before Han Jing finished speaking, Han Jiangxue took it and said, "Don't worry about it, brother, I will take care of it properly. Sister-in-law is going to give birth soon, you'd better spend more time with her these days She is." (To be continued.
