Chapter 182 Queen of the Palace, go back to the mansion!

Empress Song's original name was Song Yuan, and she was the eldest granddaughter of General Wang Songjing, who was as famous as King Weibei.It's just that Song Jing didn't live longer than the king of Weibei Bai Hao. Maybe it was because he fought in the South and the North, and it was too hurtful to block the east and the west. This Song general was only in his forties, and he had already died young.

The Song family has five sons and nine grandchildren. Except for Empress Song's biological father who was weak due to premature birth and unable to learn martial arts, Empress Song's uncle, three uncles, two brothers, and seven cousins ​​were all from the state of Jin. The common people go to war to kill the field, serve the country loyally, and wrap their corpses in horse leather! !

——It can be described as a kind of loyalty.

Of the illustrious General Wang Song's family, in the end there was only King Zhongyong, the father of Empress Song.Concubine Zhongyong—the mother of Empress Song.And Queen Song herself.

Oh, by the way, there is also Prince Zhongyong.A 20-something-year-old, dandy, incompetent, lustful and useless—I don’t know where Emperor Yongping called him out, and the Song family is three thousand miles away—a descendant of the Song family.

Zhongyong Wang and his wife are in their sixties, and Empress Song's father is not in good health, so he can't even practice martial arts.In the early years, they worked hard all their lives, and they only had one daughter, Empress Song. Now they are in their early sixties, and their fertility... must be gone.

In order not to let a loyal Song family die, Emperor Yongping adopted a "son" to the old couple with "kindness and good intentions", meaning that they would die in retirement.

Emperor Yongping, who was still the eldest prince back then, married Song Yuan... This was the decree of the late emperor.At that time, the last male member of the Song family died on the battlefield trying to quell the chaos.In order to appease the loyal ministers and reward the loyalty of the Song family, the late emperor promised Song Yuan, the only remaining son of the Song family, to the eldest prince, and guaranteed her prosperity and wealth for a lifetime.

After all, the late emperor's favorite successor was King Rong.For the eldest son, all expectations are nothing more than a virtuous king who can assist the younger brother.Therefore, his wife is not allowed to be too strong, not to mention it is useless, and it also boosts his ambition.The Song family is full of loyalty and great reputation. Song Yuan herself has a dignified appearance and elegant manners. In terms of personal conditions, she is definitely more than enough to match Emperor Yongping.

It's a pity that the first emperor thought very well, but Emperor Yongping was not reconciled to the position of "virtuous king".Song Yuan—for a prince who has no ambitions, it is naturally excellent.Loyal ministers of the Song family, who took their lives, any prince, as long as he marries her, can live a good life as long as he doesn't have the heart to rebel.

After all, with Song Yuan's living 'tablet' there, who in power would trouble her?Aren't you afraid of being scolded as a foolish king, disheartening the officials, and disappointing the people of the world?

The first emperor had good intentions for his eldest son, even thought of the embarrassing status of the eldest son after his younger brother ascended the throne, and made the best arrangements.However, Emperor Yongping didn't appreciate it, he tried his best to climb up by himself.

After becoming emperor, Emperor Yongping even suppressed his younger brother in every possible way, let alone being unable to help him at all. Although her natal family has a good reputation, she is actually the empty-hearted Empress Song.

However, we can't destroy her, and we can't treat her too badly, after all, they are full of loyalty! !
Therefore, Empress Song was in a very strange situation in the palace.The concubines in the back, including Duan Xiurong who was favored by Emperor Yongping, and the concubines who gave birth to several princes, did not dare to show any disrespect to her.However, while being respectful, they had a tacit understanding and ignored the queen together.

Without the right to manage the six palaces, the central palace papers were confiscated, years of 'head wind'... Empress Song was almost like a 'symbol' to the imperial palace and the previous dynasty.

I know there is her, but what exactly does this person look like?What character?Even what character?But no one cares at all.

It was as if the one sitting in the back seat was a clay sculpture. Everyone went to worship on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, and they looked very sincere on the surface, but in their hearts...no one took her seriously.

Empress Song married Emperor Yongping at the age of 16. For more than forty years, she lived such a life.She is nearly sixty years old now, but she has never been conceived... It's not that she can't have children, but that Emperor Yongping doesn't get close to her at all.

In the first two years of marriage, perhaps because the first emperor was still in power, Emperor Yongping was willing to put on a show, pretending to be a husband and wife with eyebrows aligned, and stayed in her room on the first and fifteenth day of each new year.But later, when he ascended the throne and took power, the draft was open, beauties entered the palace one by one, all young and beautiful, and all of them had extraordinary family backgrounds, and children were born one after another... Empress Song, there is only an empty shelf left in this family The one on the throne, the so-called concubine of the middle palace, is like a flower on an independent branch in the cold winter, enduring all kinds of cold eyes and all kinds of ignorance.

She has been the mother of the Great Jin Dynasty for more than 30 years.Today, it was the first time that Empress Song appeared in front of the court officials...

Holding the emperor's grandson Ping'an'er in her arms, Empress Song was in the hall, under the gazes of all the ministers, she felt her scalp was numb.Glancing sideways secretly, he glanced at Shen Cangyu from the corner of his eye, and saw him nodding with a light smile.Empress Song took a deep breath, raised her leg and took a step forward.In my mind, I recalled the appearance of the mother-in-law I met when I married into the royal family, the first emperor's wife, Empress Xiaoyuan.She raised her chin slightly, the nine phoenix crown shook slightly, her gaze swept away, and she looked straight at the past...

The ministers she had seen all bowed their heads quickly.

"Everyone here today..." Empress Song said, her tone heavy but with a trace of dignity, "They are all capable ministers and officials who support our Great Jin Kingdom. Long Live Lord trusts you, so this palace will invite you here .”

"Empress, what is the reason why you called the minister here? What happened... Long Live Lord... Where is it?" The minister who was in a hurry and didn't see Queen Song in his eyes interrupted After listening to her words, he stepped forward and asked eagerly.

Since marrying into the royal family at the age of 16, Empress Song has been trapped in the harem for almost her whole life. Except for her own father and Emperor Yongping, the men she has ever met... are basically a few sons!All of a sudden, letting her have a public hall and being watched by others already made her flustered enough.What's more, there were some people who appeared out of nowhere, with black faces and rough voices asking questions, which shocked Empress Song even more.

Unable to resist taking a step back, Empress Song subconsciously tightened her arms. In her arms, Ping An'er, who was already uncomfortable being held in her arms, was in pain from being strangled. She curled her mouth, as if she was about to cry! !

"Bai Shilang be careful." Seeing that something seemed to be wrong, Shen Cangyu quickly stepped forward, his face expressionless, his eyes were stern, he looked directly at the person who took the lead, and said in a cold voice: "The queen's empress is the king of the palace, Bai Shilang is like this!" Words and deeds? Are you going to commit a crime?"

Shen Cangyu naturally recognized the person who rushed out - Baiying, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, who belonged to King Chang'an's faction, Duan Sidao's eagle dog.

"The Empress forgives the sin, but the humble minister dare not." Bai Shilang was startled, and hurriedly bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

Empress Song has no power and power, her natal family has long been defeated, and there is no supporter in the court, but she is an empty queen, Bai Shilang and others are naturally not afraid.In the current situation - no one from the lineage of Emperor Yongping showed up, only Empress Song came out with a sick little grandson, anyone with eyes can understand that something really happened.

Almost no one in the court dared to persecute Empress Song.But...the reason why they are so presumptuous is that Empress Song has no support and her momentum is too weak.However, Shen Cangyu, who was a rising power in the court and represented the legacy of King Rong and King Weibei, stood up to Empress Song.In Chaozhong, whether it was Bai Shilang or even Duan Sidao, their eyes became cautious and vigilant.

"Everyone..." Seeing that Bai Shilang was startled away by Shen Cangyu's words, and found that this "ally" was more reliable than expected, Empress Song was shocked, she regained her composure, and she spoke to call back the attention of all the officials Li said sadly, "The family is unfortunate. At the banquet yesterday, the crown prince, who had no father and no king, was rebellious and treacherous. He raised his flag to rebel..."

"King Chang'an, King Gongjun was unfortunately killed by the crown prince... King Chengjun was seriously injured and dying..."

"The prince rebelled and raised his troops to attack all parts of the capital. Unfortunately, Zhao Hanlin and Ran Xuezheng's whole family were killed... The prince set his troops on fire and burned down several streets and alleys, causing numerous casualties to the people... He lost his way...Long Live Lord was furious and suffered a stroke... ..."

One by one, although Empress Song's voice was low, she repeated what happened last night very clearly. On the surface, she seemed to be heartbroken, but if she looked carefully, she could see that there was no trace of hurt in her eyes. Feeling pregnant.

——Only cold feelings remain.

"What? King Chang'an is dead?" Duan Sidao was shocked, his old face full of wrinkles was flushed.He stepped forward quickly, his eyes wide open, staring at Empress Song without blinking, as if he wanted to see if she was lying, "Lang'er, he, how could he?"

"My condolences to Duan Shoufu, not only the King of Chang'an himself. Even Duan Xiurong..." Seeing Duan Sidao, who gave advice to Emperor Yongping and adopted such an heir for his parents, Empress Song felt a burst of joy in her heart, but on the surface She also sighed in empathy, "Duan Xiurong was noble by nature, fierce as fire, and he didn't want to agree with such a conspiracy as the crown prince. He had already scratched the crown prince's mother, Concubine Pei, and unfortunately died in the end!!"

That's right, Duan Xiurong is dead! !Originally, after she scratched Concubine Pei and was taken down by the men in black, she suffered a lot of abuse and humiliation. She knew that the crown prince would not let her go, so how could the men in black respect her?Throwing it into a small side hall, even beating and scolding... Duan Xiurong knew in his own mind that there would be a good end... and when his son died, all thoughts were lost, fearing that he would be tortured and humiliated before he died, Duan Xiurong simply I untied my waist, hung it on the beam of the house, and hanged myself! !
When Shen Cangyu settled the Crown Prince and was thinking of sending someone to find her, Duan Xiurong's body was completely cold! !
"Duan Xiurong is loyal and staunch. She is a model of women in the Jin Dynasty and can be included in the list of martyrs. This palace is full of admiration in my heart, and I issued a letter from the palace to make Duan's Xiurong the loyal imperial concubine..." Seeing Duan Sidao was going to be annoyed, and Empress Song hurriedly expressed her position... Emperor Yongping had a stroke and lay down, and the concubines in the harem died and were injured. Naturally, Empress Song also took back the imperial note table that was taken away.

Even though Duan Xiurong was not pleasing to the eye, Empress Song didn't want to argue with a dead person, as long as she could transfer the imperial power smoothly, she didn't intend to designate an annoying person as an 'imperial concubine'.

——Anyway, that person is already dead! !
"Ms. Xiurong..." Duan Sidao murmured, his expression dazed, with tears in his eyes, "King Chang'an...how could it be?" He trembled, losing his daughter and grandson overnight, even though Duan Sidao had been a powerful minister for many years, After a long time of practice, I still can't stand such a heavy blow.

Just now, I was thinking that my grandson would win and seize the heir, and that the Duan family would become the emperor's surrogate family. From then on, they would rise steadily, completely break away from the status of a peasant household, and become a first-class aristocratic family... But in the blink of an eye, the daughter died and the grandson died, and Duan Sidao Without a single roll of the eyes, he passed out directly, and he was already determined to be strong, "Emperor, Empress, Wan, Long Live, do you have any instructions?"

With great reluctance, he almost squeezed these words through his teeth.In fact, Duan Sidao understood a little when he saw Empress Song appearing in her arms, Prince Gong's son, Ping'an'er, and knew that Duan Xiurong and King Chang'an were dead.However, he is still not reconciled. Although his daughter and grandson are dead, he still has a great grandson! !
The eldest son of Prince Chang'an - he is not in good health, but he is better than Ping An'er. Even if the eldest son is not good, there is still the second son. That child is very healthy!

Which of these two children is better than Ping'an'er, and Emperor Yongping loves these two grandsons more than Ping'an'er... Ah, by the way, where is Emperor Yongping?Just now Queen Song said what happened to him?Yes, have you been apoplexy! !
"Duan Shoufu, Lord Long Live... Sigh..." Empress Song sighed softly, her face full of sadness, "I have sent the imperial physician to consult for a long time ago, Lord Long Live suffered a severe stroke, barely retaining some consciousness, and is already speechless. "

"Today, my lords are invited here to discuss the successor of the Jin Kingdom. Long Live Lord is unable to move, so please move forward and meet him in the back hall."

"Since that's the case...the minister will go there immediately." Duan Sidao turned around eagerly when he heard this, and wanted to run out.But before he could make a move, Shen Cangyu took a step forward and blocked the door.

"Prince Rong, you..." Duan Sidao was startled and stopped.

Shen Cangyu raised his head, glanced at Duan Sidao, didn't say anything, just turned around respectfully, and said to Empress Song in a low voice: "I ask the empress to move." What is Duan Sidao doing? It's just a servant.With Empress Song here, how could it be possible for Shen Cangyu to let him go out first.

"...Let's drive!" Empress Song pursed her lips, hugged Ping An'er in her arms, and walked towards the gate.When she walked to the door, she even turned her head to look at Duan Sidao.

Duan Sidao and Empress Song looked at each other for a moment, then lowered their heads and took a slight step back.

In the court hall, the ministers saw that Duan Shoufu actually backed down...their hearts continued to be in an uproar.But on the surface, there was no reaction at all, as if the scene in front of him was the most ordinary.Obediently watching Empress Song step out of the hall, followed by Duan Shoufu... Then, slowly, according to the size of their official positions, all the ministers walked out of the court hall and rushed all the way to the harem to meet Emperor Yongping.

However, when they passed by the entrance of the lobby, they all secretly took a look at Shen Cangyu who was standing by the door. They all began to reconsider the son of Prince Rong who was standing by Queen Song's side at such a critical moment and seemed to be dominant. Measure it up.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hebei!Undoubtedly, Prince Rong's Mansion, which has been silent for more than twenty years and was crazily suppressed to almost extinction in the Yongping Dynasty, is about to regain its glory again!
——In the end it was King Rong, the prince praised by the late emperor.Even in such a situation, you can rely on your son to stand up again!
……

In the palace, Shen Cangyu and Empress Song took a group of ministers to the harem to 'torture' Emperor Yongping.As for Luo Chuchen, things were almost settled early, and Shen Cangyu finally 'pressed' the prince. When the sky just dawned, he was already returning to the palace in a carriage under the protection of cherry pink and peach green! !

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention one thing, in the chaotic situation last night, Concubine Xu Ji followed Duan Xiurong's side, but she miraculously survived and was not injured. It's just that when the palace maids and eunuchs were fleeing, some wicked ghost After sweeping it, it was just right, and it was kicked under a big case that fell down.

The whole body was suppressed by the big crooked case. Concubine Xu Ji didn't suffer any serious injuries, but there was a horizontal mark on her stomach, and... when the man in black appeared, her face was covered in a mess. The running lady stepped on her foot, almost crushing her nose...

There was blood all over his head and face, and the blood of the eunuch and maid who was also killed by the man in black was splashed all over his clothes. In the middle of his trousers, there was a bright 'yellow' water stain spreading under the case, obviously incontinent!

Faced with this situation, one can tell without saying too much that Concubine Xu Ji was really frightened enough that she lost her mind.Even when Luo Chuchen found her and couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing when she saw her embarrassed look, he didn't jump up and clamor to refute as usual, but let out a loud "wow".

Then, he rolled his eyes and passed out! !
Although I hated Concubine Xu Ji in my heart, this was my mother-in-law after all, if I hated it, I hated it, I couldn't just leave her like this in the palace.Luo Chuchen had no choice but to bid farewell to Shen Cangyu, and took Concubine Xu all the way back to Prince Rong's mansion alone.

Knowing that Shen Cangyu still had a 'hard cane' to beat her, she stayed here without any other help except getting in the way, so Luo Chuchen left without looking back!

The carriage drove slowly all the way, and when passing by Ginkgo Alley, Luo Chuchen looked forward through the curtains, and could still see houses that had been burned to pieces, as well as people in the streets and alleys who were dazed or crying.

Even, in a blink of an eye, she seemed to see it, it seemed that it was Shen Cangyu's friend, the figure of a man named Lin Zimo, who seemed to be standing on a high place, commanding a strong man who looked like soldiers in the alley, and was treating the people.

"Alas!" With an indescribable feeling in his heart, Luo Chuchen sighed, and the carriage slowly passed the ginkgo alley, and the scenery in front of him returned to blue bricks and red tiles.The tragic scene just now was like a dream... Putting down the curtains, Luo Chuchen closed his eyes and leaned against the car wall.

After a sleepless night, she was exhausted to the extreme, and with the shaking of the carriage, she slowly fell into Kuroda's dreamland.

In the dream, the sky was full of flames, the people were crying and fleeing, the red and smelly blood flowed to the feet, and the earth burst into cracks. That scene was really a living hell.

Along the way, after about half an hour, the carriage stopped slowly, and the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion was right in front of us.

When she was awakened by Taolu, Luo Chuchen's ears were still ringing, she opened her eyes and looked around, feeling quite apprehensive, in fact, she couldn't tell the difference between reality and dream!
Her calf was still a little weak, she was supported by Ying Fen and Tao Lu, and entered the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion.They first sent people to send Concubine Xu Jifei, who couldn't tell whether she was asleep or unconscious, back to the main courtyard.Luo Chuchen sat on the soft bridge and returned to Qingcang Courtyard.

Just now when they entered the gate of Qingcang Courtyard, two figures rushed forward quickly.

"Girl, girl!! Are you alright!! What happened yesterday, why did you make such a fuss? You scared us to death!!" Dan Qing and Mi Lu gathered around and asked anxiously in unison.
