A Thousand Hills

Chapter 248

The reaction of the imperial court was not only manifested in the "Memorial of the Marquis of Nan'an", but also in the public opinion attack on King Jingjiang. What is your background, King Jingjiang? You are not the son of Emperor Shizu at all, and your surname is not Mu, the late emperor For the sake of the same mother and brother, you are made a prince and given you a domain, you are so ambitious!

The pen department under Emperor Mu Yuan, the Hanlin Academy, has not done anything these days, but scolded King Jingjiang every day.There is a reward for scolding well.Emperor Mu Yuan also forgot to deprive King Jingjiang of his status as a prince. Of course, King Jingjiang has been preparing for decades of rebellion, and he has prepared more fully. He has already said that he will no longer be the Prince of Dongmu. He has his own identity. Packaging his own father as a descendant of the Jiangnan King in the last years of the previous dynasty, Jingjiang King claimed to be a direct descendant of the Jiangnan King, and now he is no longer the Jingjiang King, and he calls himself the Jiangnan King.

You said that Emperor Mu Yuan was so angry that he scolded, "What an unfamiliar wild dog, how did the first emperor treat him to raise such an ungrateful beast!" While scolding King Jingjiang, he had to strengthen the defense of the imperial capital .

What made Emperor Mu Yuan even more furious was that King Jingjiang not only changed his family name, but also found a wrong place for Donggong to kill Nan'an Hou, he also didn't forget to give Emperor Mu Yuan a hat. After that, he also cleaned up his unclear mistakes and poisoned Princess Fusheng!

What King Jingjiang said was well-founded. When Princess Fusheng passed away, she was only forty years old, and she had always been in good health. It was a sudden death.Moreover, after Princess Fusheng passed away, Emperor Mu Yuan sent someone to clean Princess Fusheng's mansion.

The reason for the death of Princess Fusheng, even if the official historian records that she died of illness, even if Princess Fusheng really died of illness, not to mention the fact that Jingjiang King Guangming raises doubts now, even if thousands of years later, future generations will see this historical fact. The human brain fills up countless ideas.

However, King Jingjiang's words at this moment undoubtedly hit Emperor Mu Yuan's sore spot.

Emperor Mu Yuan was not slow to react. He held a banquet in the name of the Mercy Palace. Princess Wenkang personally brought Xie Moru to attend. A few smiles came.

Empress Dowager Hu greeted Xie Moru with a stiff and friendly face, "My son, you are here. Come quickly, I will ask someone to prepare your favorite snacks."

Those who can enter the main hall of the Mercy Palace are naturally the imperial relatives, princes of the princes, and the orders of the super-ranking officials.Everyone doesn't know who, so it's a bit chilly to make such a noise from Queen Mother Hu.

Xie Moru and Princess Wenkang went over, saluted, and smiled, "Don't pretend to be like this, I'm not used to it." In one sentence, Empress Dowager Hu didn't know what facial expression to put on, she got a son and a daughter Double exhortations, absolutely cannot give Xie Moru an ugly look.Therefore, the matter has risen to the level of national affairs. In order to share the worries of her son, Queen Mother Hu is willing to bear it even if she dies.As a result, the old man suppressed his depression and gave Xie Moru a good face, but Xie Moru played cards unreasonably.If it weren't for these people, Queen Mother Hu would have to ask her daughter, that's not what we said at the time.The surname Xie is obviously tearing things apart, what should I do?Is this person surnamed Xie trying to cause trouble for the emperor's son?Empress Dowager Hu was thinking wildly, Xie Moru didn't pay attention to Empress Dowager Hu at all, she took advantage of the situation and sat under Princess Wenkang, smiled and said to several princesses, "I have something to talk to you today, sisters let me, I will sit here gone."

Xie Moru was originally sitting in the seat of Princess Changtai, what kind of person is Princess Changtai, not to mention that she has always been close to the Fifth Prince's House, and said with a smile, "We are all the same, today you will serve my aunt for me, and I will steal one by the way." Lazy. Speaking of which, I have to thank you."

Xie Moru turned to look at the whole room and said, "I am a person who likes to say something first, if I don't say what is in my heart, I can't eat." After taking the tea from the palace servant, Xie Moru Taking a sip, he nodded his head and said, "Speaking of which, it was the first time I had tea with the Empress Dowager. In the past, I always had to quarrel with the Empress Dowager. It's nothing. People are born with each other. Some people I am born with a similar temperament, and some people just don't hit it off. I am afraid that the empress dowager and I belong to the latter type. I also heard that I was born with a resemblance to the ancestor empress. , so I feel uncomfortable, I wonder if it is true?" She also asked Queen Mother Hu.

Empress Dowager Hu talked about IQ and cleverness, it was like three mountains to thank, how could she interact with each other, and after a while, Empress Dowager Hu had to tell the truth, "It's a bit similar."

Everyone finds it funny, and the atmosphere is better.

Xie Moru smiled, "The empress dowager is such a down-to-earth person. Whatever she said, her happiness and anger were all on her face. However, in these years, the empress dowager has never missed me with the things that should be given to me and the rewards that should be given to me. Your Majesty is more likely to give you a penny and a half. Of course, this is not because I have done so well as a concubine. My sister-in-law and younger siblings are all here, so it is not easy for me to put money on my face. Your Majesty treats me generously, so See, it's nothing more than Princess Fusheng's face."

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty treats me very generously. I remember when I was young, I went to Princess Yi'an's Mansion to have New Year's wine. Sister Yongfu and I were both young. We couldn't deal with each other for a while, and even had a quarrel in Princess Yi'an's Mansion. Your Majesty Knowing that we had a quarrel, he even ordered the servants in the palace to give me a lark. Later I said, alas, I also like parrots, but His Majesty refused to give it away. I was young at the time, and I was still thinking, what? I will ask for a parrot from His Majesty sometime, but as I get older, I forget about it."

"At that time, I was young and I didn't think about it. Now that I am a parent, I have a lot of things, and I also have my own children. I have to follow my temperament. If someone quarrels with my daughter, I will not help her. It's good to argue a few words, why would I give her a bird? I found out later that there is a reason why His Majesty treats me well. In the final analysis, isn't it because of my grandmother? Back then, my grandmother treated His Majesty well , Your Majesty will naturally use this legacy on me."

"Just like everyone here, the ancestors and the emperor Taizu who founded the country are all wealthy families and high officials in the court. Think about our ancestors, which family did not have ancestors blood-stained on the battlefield and shrouded in horse leather. Our ancestors have made contributions to the country, so now we are able to share the country, and our descendants are rich and honored. These are not obtained in vain, they are also the legacy of our ancestors."

"Of course, the emperor must have a conscience to remember what our ancestors have done for the country. Your Majesty is a man of conscience, and so is the late Emperor." Xie Moru had this kind of natural political talent, she seemed to be chatting Generally, he will tell the past, not only is there no shortage of trivial matters, but also can lead the topic to the righteousness of the country.Don't look at the old Mu's family as the second generation of the Turtle Emperor, but most of the imperial orders here are from aristocratic families. Everyone has endured the inconspicuousness of the Mercy Palace these years, even though Princess Wenkang is worse than the Palace of Mercy, but Princess Wenkang said His political demeanor is much worse than that of Xie Moru.As long as Xie Moru doesn't turn her face, this kind of political demeanor is as perfect as a textbook. Her adjustment of the atmosphere and her grasp of the topic can definitely rank among the first-class political experts.Xie Moru first talked about Emperor Mu Yuan's care for her, and then talked about the difficulties of Emperor Taizu and Zhu Xungui when they founded the country. With enough foreshadowing, she turned to the topic.Xie Moru sat with his body slightly slanted, with his hands naturally folded on his knees, his eyes calmly scanned the room full of orders, and said, "It stands to reason that the late emperor and Princess Fusheng are the flesh and blood of the emperor, and King Jingjiang is just the late emperor. The half-brother, as King Jingjiang said, he is a descendant of the former Jiangnan King, which is not bad. However, King Jingjiang may not know how his father passed away. At that time, the late emperor The country has not yet been established, but it is already a party of princes. King Jingjiang's biological father intended to seek the late emperor's soldiers and horses, but failed. In order to give the late emperor an explanation, the Jiangnan kings killed him and asked the late emperor for peace with his father's head."

"Of course, at that time, King Jingjiang was still young, and what his biological father did had nothing to do with him. In our Dongmu state law, which family is guilty of copying and beheading, children under the age of ten will have to pardon their lives. However, the first emperor treated him It's not just as simple as pardoning his life. After the founding of the country, the first emperor had no son for many years, and at one time he intended to use him as his heir. At the beginning, his father's plan failed, and King Jingjiang was frightened at a young age, so he couldn't sleep peacefully at night. The first emperor took him every night. Beside him, coaxing him to sleep, and later personally teaching him civil and military lessons, teaching him the strategy of governing the country. Even the Cheng family, the mother's family of the Empress Shizu, couldn't stand it, and they were dissatisfied. As the prince, Jingjiang's surname is not Mu, and their Cheng family is also the family of the late emperor's uncle. Is Jingjiang more noble than the Cheng family? For this reason, the late emperor was furious and punished the Cheng family. These are all for the sake of the King of Jingjiang. The road after Pingping. I always think that if the late emperor had not had a son in his later years, King Jingjiang and the late emperor must have been role models of brotherly brothers and respectful brothers for life. But things are so unexpected, the late emperor had his majesty in his old age. "

"Prince Jingjiang probably feels that this country should belong to him." Xie Moru sneered, "What do you mean it should belong to him? In the world, who has something that he doesn't pass on to his son. Is there anyone who keeps his son from passing it on? Brother of the same mother! Could it be that the kindness of the late emperor to treat Jingjiang as a brother and a father is not a kindness because the late emperor passed on the country he worked hard all his life to his son?"

"This is really an embarrassment to Sheng Mien. I really don't know. For an elder brother who raised him and granted him a king and land, just because the elder brother passed his property to his son, he would hate him so much. Do you know what kindness and righteousness are people who have been scratching their heads, plotting rebellion these years?" Xie Moru said indifferently, "He still has the face to mention my grandmother. When my grandmother assisted His Majesty in ascending the throne, I am afraid that he was often Hate to the point where your teeth itch!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this disappointing thing. Back then, His Highness and I were in Fujian, and we often dealt with Jingjiang. I know what kind of person he is. I just got married with me earlier, and then I made a mess The boys pretended to be pirates and went ashore to burn, kill, and loot. I can't look down on this kind of people who hide their heads and show their tails. Fortunately, His Royal Highness is on guard. The veteran Hou guarded the gate, but he won."

"Okay, let the men worry about Jiangnan's affairs. Here, help those who can help, and those who can't, just don't make trouble. As for the rumors outside, if Jingjiang can say hello to His Majesty, he will So I won’t rebel.” Then, Xie Moru smiled, “Actually, I have to thank Jingjiang, the state is in danger, and Zhongliang will be seen.” He said to Empress Dowager Hu, “My lady, let’s have a banquet.”

Decoration - Empress Dowager Hu nodded and said, "Have a banquet!"
