Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 735 Return of King Qin (3)
Outside the hall, Yu Wenping and his entourage saw the Empress Dowager coming out, stopped the boiling, and kowtowed a few times: "I disturbed the Empress Dowager's rest in the middle of the night, the ministers are guilty, but the current national crisis, the ministers cannot sleep and eat, so they have to starve Enter the palace and ask the Empress Dowager to make a decision immediately!"

"Do you still know that you are guilty? Your lords eat the royal family's food, but now they come to the palace to threaten the empress dowager. If the first emperor finds out, he will be so angry that he will sit up from the mausoleum!" Zhu Shun scolded.

Yu Wenping winked, and a private minister beside him hurriedly cupped his hands, and said in a respectful tone, "If the Empress Dowager grants an order immediately, King Wei will be allowed to enter the palace as regent, and the ministers will leave the palace immediately, and will go back to the court to discuss matters as usual tomorrow!"

How can this be reasonable? This means that if they don't follow their wishes today, tomorrow they will collectively strike out and slack off their posts?
Empress Dowager Jia didn't expect them to threaten her with such a trump card, she tremblingly said: "Okay, you, you—" Before she finished speaking, her head became dizzy, and her body softened. Fortunately, Zhu Shun and Mrs. Ma supported her .

Seeing that the empress dowager was at the end of her strength, Yu Wenping struck while the iron was hot, and led a group of civil servants to kowtow, their voices were overwhelming, and they circled at the gate of the Palace of Compassion: "The empress dowager, please make a decision as soon as possible—"

"Please issue an imperial decree as soon as possible to call the king of Wei into the palace to rule!"

One after another, it reverberated in the Sixth Courtyard of the Sangong, and the female family members of the harem woke up at night. They couldn't sleep, either looking through the palace wall, or sending people out to inquire.

Empress Dowager Jia was so angry that her blood was surging, she clenched her teeth tightly, but she saw the light of the flames flickering in front of her, and her iron hooves were stepping on the bluestone floor, running towards the Palace of Compassion.

The crowd followed the sound.

"King Jingyang is here." Zhu Shun sighed.

It's useless when the gods come.Yu Wenping snorted lightly, without any pressure, and still led the courtiers to kneel in front of the hall.

Accompanied by the adjutant carrying a lantern, King Jingyang glanced dissatisfiedly at the people in front of the hall, walked quickly to the Empress Dowager Jia, bent down with fists folded: "The late arrival of the minister surprised the Empress Dowager."

Turning his head away again, he reprimanded: "Yu Xiang brought all the adults into the palace at night to force the Empress Dowager to make an order. It is too unreasonable! Please leave the palace as soon as possible! Otherwise, don't be rude!"

Yu Wenping's eyelids moved, his eyes darkened, and he sneered: "Why did King Jingyang say that, now that the emperor is captured and there is no one in the court, we are thinking of the country, what is wrong with coming to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to ask for orders? The people present are all chaozhong humerus, and there are many veterans of the two dynasties. How can King Jingyang be rude to us? At worst, we will all be arrested and put in prison. "

"Let's let the king of Wei take charge of the government, which can solve the urgent needs of the moment and temporarily dispel the ambitions of the Mengnu people. King Jingyang is not the prince of the late emperor. To put it bluntly, he is just like us. He is serving the court. What qualifications do you have to control us?" You don’t want us to ask Wei Wang to be regent, you have the ability to choose one, does King Jingyang want to be regent by himself?” A young civil official was very angry.

"Yeah, what right does King Jingyang have to control us!? King Jingyang stopped us. Could it be that he has some shady plans?! If you want us to say, King Jingyang invites you out of the palace!" Several other people shouted echo.

Chaoshang looks noble and elegant on weekdays, but when his courtiers are full of knowledge, they are almost like street hooligans.

Zhu Shun was filled with hatred. Seeing that Empress Dowager Jia was about to die of anger again, King Jingyang was not at all flustered, and only said amidst the noise, "I am not qualified, but someone is qualified."

The voices of the courtiers paused, and a group of personal soldiers brought into the palace by King Jingyang dispersed, and a group of people walked towards the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

The fire was so bright that the courtiers couldn't believe their eyes, Yu Wenping couldn't help standing up, his eyes widened.

Zhu Shun was startled when he saw the person coming, and couldn't speak clearly: "Mother, Empress Dowager, yes, it's the King of Qin—"

Although the Empress Dowager Jia was old, she had no eyesight, and she had seen it a long time ago, and she was very excited: "It's the third child, and the third child is not dead? Are you back?"

At this moment, Xiahou Shiting stepped forward, knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Jia, the crane cloak touched the ground, fluttering gently in the night wind: "Let the emperor's grandmother be frightened, and the grandson is not filial."

"Quick, come up and show Ai's family! Is he really the King of Qin?" Empress Dowager Jia was at a loss.

"Look, the Empress Dowager is so confused. Who else could it be if it wasn't the King of Qin? It seems that the King of Qin has his own destiny, and he didn't die on the front line, so he's back." Mrs. Ma also heaved a sigh of relief, and the King of Qin The emergence of this moment is simply a solution to the crisis.

Yu Wenping has recovered from the shock, he is full of doubts, how can the people who fell down the snow lotus valley still have a way out?
Even if he was alive, why didn't he come back then, but waited for a year, deliberately waiting for the emperor to come back when he was captured and the court was empty?

Could it be that he arranged this from beginning to end?
Yu Wenping's palms were sweating. The face of the man he hadn't seen for more than a year was still handsome, but the corners of his brows and eyes had grown a bit more mature.

King Jingyang glanced at Yu Wenping, turned to the Empress Dowager, and pleaded: "Now that the officials have no leader, it is understandable to find someone to take charge of the government. Now that King Qin returns, it is like rain from the sky. Minister," he said for a while , stared at the man in the crane cloak, and raised his voice: "I strongly recommend the King of Qin!"

A group of courtiers were stunned, hurriedly vetoed: "But the king of Wei——"

The Empress Dowager Jia immediately opened her mouth and interrupted the others: "What King Jingyang said is in line with the family's wishes. During the time of the first emperor, King Qin was once a regent and has rich experience in the court. He has been at the border for more than a year and is familiar with military affairs. People are more suitable than him!"

Yu Wenping became annoyed, his brows sharpened, and he took a few steps forward: "The Empress Dowager—" Before he approached the jade steps at the entrance of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he felt a stabbing pain in his back, then lowered his head, and shot an arrow a few feet away. A pointed head protruded from his chest, his face turned pale, and his fleshy body fell to the ground.

"Ah—" A group of civil servants cried out in horror, stood up again and again, and took a few steps back. Even the Empress Dowager Jia was taken aback, unexpectedly, and screamed.

An arrow flew from King Qin's team and shot through Prime Minister Yu's chest alive.

A middle-aged mighty man came out of the team in a hurry, before putting down his bow and arrow, he ran to the front and knelt down: "This subordinate sees Yu Xiang rushing forward, I'm afraid he will continue to harass and disobey the Empress Dowager, so I only act in a moment of urgency. It was intended to shoot the calf, but unfortunately the night wind was strong, the shot went crooked, and accidentally shot Yu Xiang's vitals, and I ask the empress dowager and the third master to come down!"

Xiahou Shiting's eyebrows were sharp, his handsome face was cloudy, and he said to Tuoba Jun sternly: "You are too reckless, you almost frightened the Empress Dowager!" He only scolded him for scaring the Empress Dowager, but did not say that I shouldn't have killed Yu Wenping.

Seeing that Yu Wenping was shot to death on the spot, the Queen Mother Jia was very happy, and all anger disappeared, but after all, the Yu family has a lot of influence among the civil servants in the court. I am afraid that someone will stand up for him and cause turmoil later, calm down, Glancing at Yu Wenping's body, he said to Tuoba Jun, "What's wrong with you in order to protect the driver?" Then he glanced at the civil servants who hadn't recovered from the sudden change, "Everyone can see it, Yu Xiang wants to run into Aijia, isn't he!"
