Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 404 The Coup in Beijing, the Rebellion of the Four Kings (1)
In the spring of the 48th year of Shunde, the emperor was critically ill. Li Qian, the king of Lingnan, entered Beijing under the imperial edict. Not long after, the news of the emperor's death and the sudden death of the prince came out. The government and the public were shocked!
The country cannot be without a king for a day. Zhang Jiran, the chief assistant, led a hundred officials to respectfully invite Li Qian, the king of Lingnan, to take the throne.

Li Heng, the king of Ruyang, Li Yan, the king of Min, and Li Shuo, the king of Jin all refused to accept it, so the three kings rose up with troops and went straight to the capital.

When the news reached Liangcheng, King Yan couldn't sit still any longer, and called the generals and staff members of the army to discuss the matter together overnight, and the discussion lasted for three days and nights without stopping.

Ji Chonglian heard the news from Shangjing, and felt uneasy at home. Fortunately, Feng Shi was by her side. Although women don't care about the affairs of the court, who can remain calm when this country changes?

Mrs. Feng accompanied her to do needlework, but after a long time of embroidery, only a few stitches fell off.

Sister Shuang has been around for more than four months. She is white and fat. Although she has single eyelids, her eyes are big and bright.

Ji Chonglian is also used to breastfeeding her. Seeing that Sister Shuang was still asleep after eating the milk, she handed it to the nurse and carried her out. Turning to look at Feng with a ecstatic face, she could only persuade softly: "Originally I thought the two of us could feel a little more at ease when we were together, but looking at you, Yao Qianhu would be worried if he looked at you later."

Feng Shi clenched the bandage in his hand, glanced at Ji Chonglian, and sighed: "This day is going to change, who can still sit still?! I don't know what King Yan is going to do. As soon as this man started discussing serious matters, I don’t know whether it’s day or night, and I don’t have a certainty, I’m so flustered!”

Ji Chonglian was silent, feeling a little apprehensive.

The emperor passed away so suddenly, coupled with the sudden death of the prince, the repeated accidents caught people off guard, and when the emperor was critically ill, only the Lingnan king was ordered to enter the capital, all of which seemed strange.

The emperor and the crown prince passed away one after another, only Lingnan king was in the capital, and there was no leader among the dragons. Whether it was due to coercion or public opinion, the throne had to be succeeded. With the title of grandson, coupled with the reputation of the King of Lingnan as a tyrannical and domineering king, who can they recommend if the officials don't recommend him?

After Ruyang King Li Heng, Min King Li Yan, and Jin King Li Shuo realized that this was a well-planned conspiracy and rebellion, how could they watch Lingnan King sit back and enjoy the fruits of victory?Now that they have all fallen into the water, if they muddy the water even more, it is still unknown who will be able to sit on the throne in the end!
Thinking of the King of Lingnan, Ji Chonglian couldn't help thinking of Li Zhao, the son of the King of Lingnan, this frightening man, I really don't know what he will do at this time.

Should he cooperate with his father, the King of Lingnan, and defeat them one by one, or should he make a plan and then move, and slowly eat away at the three kings?

Ji Chonglian suddenly felt unstoppable tremors. If the King of Lingnan really wins the throne, Li Zhao must be the logical crown prince. When the time comes, they...

Ji Chonglian did not forget the enmity between them and Li Zhao, at least he would remember Pei Yan, if the King of Lingnan really came to fruition, their life would definitely not be easy.

Ji Chonglian suddenly grabbed Feng Shi's hand, with a serious look on her face, she lowered her voice and said word by word: "Sister Feng, do you think King Yan will follow suit?"

This is equivalent to asking Feng's King Yan if he has the heart to win the heir? !

Feng's face turned pale for a moment, and he quickly covered Ji Chonglian's mouth, looked around again, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "You dare to say this, don't be afraid..."

"The coup d'etat in Shangjing, the chaos of the four kings, and the addition of King Yan, it just happened that the five dragons seized the throne. I don't believe that King Yan doesn't have such a heart?!"

Ji Chonglian wiped Feng's hand away, and looked at her solemnly, "What is the purpose of King Yan's raising troops these past few years? What is the purpose of secretly raising food and wages? It can't be just to start a fight with Xiliang, right? The daughter of King Liang is also the side concubine of King Yan!"

"Even if there are occasional disturbances from other small tribes, that's not enough. The entire Northwest has already been grasped by King Yan!"

"Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, even if it is unsuccessful, King Yan can retreat to the northwest land, and be his emperor with peace of mind!"

Ji Chonglian said such a long passage one after another, but Feng Shi was completely stunned. When she came back to her senses, her face was full of panic, and even the corners of her lips were trembling, "But even so, we can't say it! Come on!" Unpredictable!"

"I know," Ji Chonglian sighed, her gaze a little downcast, "We are all in the northwest, so naturally we can only rely on King Yan to live. If he lets you go east, no one dares to go west."

"As long as you know."

Feng Shi held Ji Chonglian's hand tightly, and said earnestly: "So what we can do now is to wait, no matter whether the King of Yan wants to stand still, or... My master and Mr. Pei can only obey orders, and we can only hope that Yan Wang Wang can make a wise choice."

Ji Chonglian pulled her lips and smiled, but the haze in her heart couldn't go away no matter what.

Seeing this, Mrs. Feng only sighed secretly in her heart, changed the subject again, and said with a smile: "In two months, my second younger sister will get married, so don't forget to add makeup by then!"

Ms. Feng's second daughter walked down the road after a few years, her leg was affected after all, and she walked with a slight limp, but her husband's family didn't dislike her, and sent a mother who had been there for a long time to see it, and said that the wedding was still going on as usual Held, their family does not dislike it.

After all, Ji Chonglian was relieved by this incident. At any rate, it was because of her that Second Miss Feng suffered this innocent disaster. Now that Second Miss Feng's husband's family can accept it, she also feels that a lot of burden has been lifted from her heart.

Hearing Feng's words, Ji Chonglian smiled and said: "I have prepared for the second girl a long time ago. Since you came here today, you will take them back together. Now that the wind is getting tighter, don't run around here and there. .”

After finishing speaking, Ji Chonglian called out, "Liuli, bring me the black box with gold lacquer on the second compartment of the rosewood cabinet covered with silver corners!"

Liuli responded outside the curtain, and after a while, she entered the Xici Room with a long black box in her hand.

Feng Shi took the black box from Liuli, feeling a bit dropped, and asked curiously, "What good things did you prepare for my second sister?"

Ji Chonglian smiled nonchalantly, "Open it and have a look!"

Feng gave Ji Chonglian an angry look, and then opened the black box with a smile, and she was stunned by the radiance in front of her eyes.

On the red velvet cloth in the black box, there are Jingfu Changmian and all the best jade hairpins, a pair of jade hairpins with gemstones, a pair of red gold pearl flowers, a pair of pearl moon pendants, and a pair of suet and white jade bracelets. , A pair of twisted gold wire shrimp whiskers.

The jewelry in this box was roughly estimated to be thousands of taels of silver, Feng was completely stunned, and looked at Ji Chonglian in disbelief, "This thing is too precious... Did you get Liuli by mistake?"
