Fenghua husband and splendid wife

Chapter 656 The new emperor is established! (1)
The queen's attitude is already clear.

The emperor's assassination must be thoroughly investigated. Even if Sanqiu Lie did it, her sister would not protect her.There is another layer of meaning implied here.That is, if the assassin was not San Qiulie, then who spread such rumors in the imperial garden at that time?

Also, as long as the matter has not come to light, Sanqiulie will not be injured in the slightest.

Don't forget, there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, preparing to force the city.

For such a big event, Zhao Shuang, as the Minister of Dali Temple, naturally had a duty to do so.In addition, as a prince, Prince Li naturally had to take part in it to find out the cause of the emperor's death.

Concubine Rong was detained, even if the Fourth Prince couldn't bear it, there was nothing he could do.In front of all the courtiers, the more reluctant he was to his mother and concubine, the more dangerous his situation would be.

King Changping saw that Concubine Rong was going down, and then reminded, "Empress, lord, now there are two copies of the emperor's last edict in this palace, and both have been confirmed by the Minister of Dali Temple, and they are both true. What should I do?" Is that right? There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. You can’t have two princes, right?”

The queen was slightly surprised, "What two princes? Your lord, when the emperor was alive, did you ever issue such an edict?"

The empress looked ignorant, and in the eyes of everyone, they naturally thought that this matter had nothing to do with her.And yesterday she was under house arrest by Concubine Rong in the Kunning Palace, and all the guards outside were strictly guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, so it is naturally impossible for her to have the opportunity to tamper with this matter.

Before they knew it, the balance in everyone's hearts had already begun to tilt in the direction of the queen.

First of all, the second prince is a descendant, and he is young and promising, and has made achievements in the court, which is well known.And the fourth prince is only fifteen years old, and has never been involved in government affairs. How can he talk about experience and talent?
Secondly, the mother concubine of the fourth prince has done such a rebellious thing, and her character is so bad, how can her son be so good?But the second prince is different.

The second prince has always been known as a dutiful son.Whether it is to the emperor or the queen, they are extraordinarily filial, and they are also courteous and gentle in dealing with others. This is the candidate for the prince that the emperor should choose.

Thirdly, the situation in the palace is clear now, the queen is still the queen, and the second prince will soon enter the palace. As for the Jingguo mansion, I'm afraid it will return to normal soon.It doesn't matter whether the assassin is Sanqiulie or not, the important thing is that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside are all genuine.

What is the use of only relying on this little force in Liangcheng?

Even with the addition of the more than [-] soldiers stationed outside the city, it would have no effect.Don't forget, Sanqiu Lie had stayed in the Zuowei camp for several years before, and how many of his people there were obviously not to be underestimated.

After weighing again and again, many courtiers already had an opinion in their hearts.

Sanqiulie has just returned to the court after making meritorious deeds, why did he want to assassinate the emperor?

I heard that before having a banquet with him, the emperor praised and criticized him in the Palace of Political Affairs. However, this time, the morale of the countries in the southern border was severely dampened, and it was still a boost to our country.The emperor was still in a very happy mood.Therefore, it is indeed difficult for people to believe that Sanqiulie assassinated the emperor.

Zhao Shuang closed his eyes lightly. The case didn't need to be tried, and he knew the general direction.

Who is behind such a brilliant game of chess?
Without any effort, all the previous arrangements of the emperor were disrupted and overthrown one by one, until the person whom the emperor liked was completely suppressed at the bottom.

He dared to bet that Concubine Rong might not survive tonight.The palace is not a place where foreign ministers like them can intervene at will, and the fourth prince alone is obviously not enough to rescue Concubine Rong.

Even Concubine Rong herself has secret forces, but now the empress is angry and has sent people to guard her strictly, and those who dispatch are naturally the elite of the Imperial Forest Army.Let alone saving Concubine Rong, it would be extremely difficult for those people to get close to her.

Zhao Shuang is now in disarray.

Betraying the emperor's previous wishes?He didn't know if he should do that, after all, he wasn't sure, did the emperor have a plan before that?
Continue to do right with the queen?Prevent the second prince from ascending the throne?
Zhao Shuang shook his head secretly. With his own strength, how could he have such a great ability?Even if several of his colleagues were willing to stand by his side, opposing the queen would be like hitting a stone with a pebble.

At this point in the matter, if Zhao Shuang can't see that King Li and King Changping are on the queen's side, he is simply too stupid!

Even the most trustworthy chief executive of the emperor can rely on his master. Who else in this palace can he trust?
Zhao Shuang turned his head and glanced at the fourth prince. His face was still immature, but now it was pale and bloodless. The anxiety and helplessness in his brows and eyes made him feel a little distressed.After all, he is also the emperor's child, so you can't just watch him being directly killed by the queen and others, right?
Now that there are two orders, needless to say, it will definitely be judged in the end that the one that Concubine Rong gave out before is a fake.With multiple crimes and punishment, Concubine Rong will not only die, but even her family members will not be spared.

As for the fourth prince, he will definitely be implicated by her.Even if the queen doesn't kill him, the life of the fourth prince will definitely be very sad in the rest of his life.

A prince without his mother and concubine, a prince without the support of his maternal ancestral family, a prince without the emperor's favor, is like a speck of duckweed on the water, everything will be beyond his control.

The Queen finished explaining the matter here, saying that this Palace of Political Affairs was not a place where she should stay for a long time as a Queen, so she avoided it for the time being and went to Juwen Palace.

As soon as the empress left, the news that the second prince entered the palace hastily spread.

After the second prince entered the palace, he didn't go straight to the Yizheng Hall to inquire about the first and second, but went straight to the Juwen Hall to cry for the funeral.Involuntarily, in exchange for some relief and admiration from the ministers.

The second prince's entry into the palace made everything gradually calm down.

On the night when Concubine Rong was banned, the Queen went to the Leng Palace without alarming anyone.
