Chapter 234: Becoming a Vassal
"It turned out to be Princess Chen!"
When Mu Jing heard this, he hurriedly attached himself to worship, but was dragged by the princess, "Mu Gongzi must not be polite." ”
Mu Jing had to change his salute and said, "What did Princess Chen say to save the people?" ”
The princess nodded solemnly, "Does Mu Gongzi know about the recent court affairs?" ”
"I've heard of it."
Princess Chen saw that he didn't say any more, so she continued: "Three days ago, the Tang King transferred Ding Kui and Chu's rebellious army to besiege Tianxing Mansion, and the Huang Pavilion Department led the imperial camp to defend it.
"The day before yesterday, Liu Ruolan and Su Ping broke through the noon gate and entered the palace, and the Yellow Pavilion Department killed themselves."
She spoke faster and faster, and became excited, "Then the king of Tang led the palace guards to Ciqing Palace, forced the queen mother to hand over the Son of Heaven, and moved to the palace.
At that time, the queen mother sat on the throne, and she was not afraid and was not moved at all.
The king of Tang drank the order to take the emperor away from the left and right, and the queen mother hugged the saint tightly and severely reprimanded the rebellious ministers and thieves. The rebel ministers under King Tang were ashamed, and no one dared to move for a while.
The old Tang King was ashamed and angry, so he went into battle shirtless and fought for the Holy Heaven from the hands of the Queen Mother. How could the queen mother be able to resist him, a man in the prime of life, and the saint was taken away by him.
Unexpectedly, the king of Tang only caught the swaddling clothes in a hurry, and the saint slipped from the quilt and fell to the ground...... He fainted and died. ”
She took a deep breath and frowned, "The emperor was finally snatched away by King Tang, and now he is handed over to the care of a new nurse." But yesterday, the imperial doctor in the palace leaked his breath, and the saint still didn't seem to wake up.
"Now the queen mother is forced into the cold palace, guarded day and night by a large number of armor soldiers, not allowed to go out for half a step, and no outsiders are allowed to visit. The king of Tang coerced the Son of Heaven inside, and relied on the Yue army outside, controlling the government and covering the sky with one hand, and no one in the court dared to disobey. ”
Although Mu Jing knew that the two forces in the court were fighting, he didn't expect that there would be such a big movement, and he didn't expect King Tang to defeat the empress dowager so quickly.
"This, Princess Chen didn't come to me just to talk about the court......
Princess Tai said: "Yesterday, there were loyal people who helped the Queen Mother pass a message to the concubine in the cold palace, asking me to find a way to rescue the Son of Heaven from the hands of the Tang King's rebels.
"Now the Manchu Dynasty is not credible, only I and the Queen Mother are like sisters, and I should go to the soup to complete this matter!
"After thinking about it, only my son King Chen led the army to return to Tianxing Mansion in a hurry, which can relieve the saint and the queen mother from the predicament.
"However, at this time, all the gates of Tianxing Mansion are guarded by the Guangdong army, and they can enter but not leave, and the news cannot be sent."
Mu Jing was stunned, stared at Princess Chen and said, "You want me to ......"
"Originally, the concubine was already desperate, until she learned this morning that there were people from the Lijiang Mu family in the Ministry of Rites Post House, and she knew that the sky was endless.
"The Mu family is a local official in Lijiang, with a special identity, the court is difficult to control, and has no contact with the various factions in the court, and the war in Yunnan is tight, if you want to find a reason to leave, the Tang King will not stop you.
"I also ask for the righteousness of Mu Gongzi to save the people of the Ming Dynasty and the society in danger!"
Mu Jing's face was embarrassed, "My Mu family is just a small clan on the border, I came here to congratulate Xinjun on his accession to the throne, and I will leave after the ceremony." And being involved in the great changes in the court is beyond what our small clan can afford......"
Princess Chen said in her heart, and sure enough, it was not bad as the Queen Mother expected, so she replied according to the Queen Mother's instructions in advance: "Mu Gongzi thinks that the Mu family can be alone in the affairs of the court? The concubine was also heard of in the court, and the war in Yunnan was chaotic, and the Duke of Qianguo and Sha Dingzhou both pointed out that the other party was rebellious, and he led the army to quell the chaos.
"Now that the king of Tang is in power, whoever is ordered by him will support him. The prince of Qianguo received the emperor's favor and would never be with the king of Tang. In order to win over Sha Dingzhou, the Tang King will definitely refer to him as an official and soldier to quell the rebellion.
"The ambition of Shadingzhou is well known, if you get this righteous name, how can all the Tusi in Yunnan have a peaceful day? Although the Mu family has a strong heritage, it is difficult to say what the result will be in the face of the Sha family's army at that time. ”
"This ......"
She saw Mu Jing bowing her head and pondering, and she didn't rush him, just watched quietly from the sidelines, waiting for him to make a decision.
The room fell into an oppressive silence for a long time, and when she heard the door being pushed open, Princess Chen immediately turned sideways and looked out of the door vigilantly, "Who?!" ”
A graceful figure walked into the house, closed the door, turned around and bowed: "Little girl Mu Zhiqing, I have seen Princess Chen." ”
Princess Chen had some impression of this name, and hurriedly helped her up, "It was the second lady of the Mu family." ”
Mu Zhiqing glanced at Mu Jing, "Big brother, don't hesitate any longer, what Princess Chen said is very true." Although we want to stay away from the court dispute, Sha Dingzhou will drag us into it. She lowered her voice again and said, "The situation in Tianxing Mansion must also be reported to my father as soon as possible." ”
She turned to Princess Chen and said, "When the situation in the DPRK and China subsides, I hope you can beg the Queen Mother to transfer troops to exterminate the Shadingzhou rebels as soon as possible." ”
"I promise you."
The three of them discussed the details in the house again, and Princess Chen left the token and left in a hurry. When she walked out of a street, Fang Jue continued to sweat coldly on the back of her neck, if the Mu family had the intention of voting for the Tang King, Chen Wangfu would definitely be in trouble.
……
Zhu Yuao turned around Fengtianmen, only to feel in a good mood. In the past two days, he has had the feeling of directing the country when he was a prisoner, no, even happier than then! Everything is decided by him, and no one dares to dismiss him.
That's power.
Supreme power!
"This Wang Yan is clever." He couldn't help but laugh and praise out loud.
Su Guansheng, who followed closely behind, raised his eyelids, and this Wang Yan asked the auxiliary government Wang to supervise the country in the court today, so as to calm the hearts of the people in the world. It can be seen that the auxiliary king is extremely useful in this.
Wang Yan is a sycophant, he can't see him, so he will pick peaches when he succeeds. He immediately changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, there is another matter that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. ”
"Oh? What's the matter? ”
"It's King Chen." Su Guansheng said, "Empress Dowager Zeng once recruited him to return to Tianxing Mansion, and now he should be on his way." ”
Zhu Yuao also thought of something when he heard this, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Su Guansheng continued: "Wang Butang hinted to His Royal Highness that King Chen could give him Ganzhou, but he didn't see any expression. This time, he entered the Tianxing Mansion with the great merit of expelling captives, and if he did not concentric with His Highness, it might lead to variables. The minister thought that he must not be allowed to return to the capital. ”
"According to the meaning of the Su Pavilion Department, how should we deal with it?"
"King Chen has made great contributions to the community this time, but he can't help but be rewarded." Su Guansheng said, "Your Highness can follow the preface and give Ganzhou to King Chen." Then he ordered it to follow the ancestral system and immediately surrender to the domain. ”
"Ganzhou." Although Zhu Yu'ao was a little painful, he also knew that King Chen had to be properly settled, so he finally nodded and said, "Just follow the meaning of the Su Pavilion Department." ”
After walking for a while, Zhu Yuao saw a henchman guard coming towards him, but it was the person he sent to take care of the Empress Dowager Zeng.
"Chronicles? But what happened to Jingxi Palace? ”
The guard hurriedly saluted and said, "Back to Your Highness, Jingxi Palace is no different." He took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "It's Pang Tianshou who wants to see His Highness, and he said that he knows where the jade seal is." ”
"Good!" Zhu Yuao was overjoyed when he heard this, and waved his hand, "Bring him to see me immediately!" ”
