In this context, Tiansheng fought all the way to Wangcheng with almost no effort.

Liang Songming saw that the situation was not right, so he left a few cronies to defend the royal city, and he secretly slipped away with the prince.

After Zhaoyi Niangniang was released by Long Yuanxiu and Zhuang Mingyue, she faced "the destruction of Taiban in the royal city, the outbreak of peasant uprisings in many places in the country, the ministers of the court and the central government lost the hearts of the people, Liang Songming fled abroad and still did not forget to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes, and the people were impoverished, complaining" Such a mess that makes people anxious."

Truth be told, it would have been impossible to solve all of this without some extraordinary means.

Thinking about it, when Liang Songming dropped this mess, he must have saved a little bit of thinking about watching jokes.

However, he obviously underestimated this young Zhaoyi Niangniang, after all, she is now the titular Queen Mother.

"As soon as we released it, she took over the Wangcheng Praetorian Guard in the name of the Queen Mother, and resolutely arrested all the remaining parties left by Liang Songming, directly extinguishing the source of the disaster. Immediately after her, she promoted several royalists in a row, and accompanied by the new courtiers, personally visited the soldiers who were wounded in the war, which greatly won the hearts of the people. ”

"And here" After that, she lowered her posture, led the Korean Manchu civil and military to apologize to us, and put the charges of war between the two countries on Liang Songming's head, which can be said to be able to bend and stretch, giving us enough face ...... Tiansheng"

Zhuang Mingyue was like a child, counting them one by one.

Finally, he summed it up with a sentence, "See, our Zhaoyi lady is amazing!" ”

Long Yuanxiu looked at her strange and interesting appearance, and deliberately asked her with a straight face, "Isn't it easy for you to do it in other ways, or even better than what she did?" That being the case, why admire her? ”

"It's the same, you think too highly of me."

How is it different, I mean what I say!

Long Yuanxiu subconsciously wanted to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly reacted and seemed to be a little sticky, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and he coughed hurriedly to hide it and swallowed the words.

Fortunately, the carriage happened to arrive at the place, and Zhuang Mingyue did not notice his abnormality.

After the two got out of the carriage, the female officer led them all the way to Wuying Palace.

Zhaoyi Niangniang had been waiting for them in the palace for a long time, she was wearing gorgeous court clothes and delicate makeup on her face, but she still couldn't hide her haggard complexion, and at first glance she looked as if she was more than ten years old.

But the problem is that it's only been more than ten days since we last met.

Long Yuanxiu and Zhuang Mingyue quietly exchanged puzzled looks, but they didn't show any signs on their faces, they only greeted the Queen Mother according to the rules, and exchanged greetings with each other.

They were waiting for the Queen Mother to take the initiative to speak.

Zhaoyi Niangniang obviously didn't have the heart to go around in circles with them, and after a little greeting, she took the initiative to reveal her intention to invite them to come, "This time I invited the prince and Mingyue to come, in fact, there is something about Xiao'er, and I want to ask the two of you to have an idea." ”

"Have you found the Prince?" Zhuang Mingyue looked surprised.

Zhaoyi Niangniang smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Liang Songming hides the child very secretly, these days, the mourning family has sent a lot of people to look for it, but all of them have returned. ”

"Then you're talking about ......"

"That's the case, in the recent period, with the help of the Heavenly ** Army, Liang Songming's henchmen have been cut off, and many people have defected when they see that the situation is wrong, and Liang Songming has to flee to the border area......"

"Wait." Long Yuanxiu raised his hand to interrupt her, "Didn't Liang Songming ascend the throne as emperor in the interior?" ”

The Queen Mother was not angry when she was interrupted by him, and patiently explained: "The enthronement is indeed enthroned, but because the coalition forces of Dahan and Tiansheng quickly fought over, those ministers who followed Liang Songming knew that there was no hope of victory, and there was infighting, Liang Songming was almost killed by his subordinates, and had to abandon the city again and flee, and the mourning family had just received the news." ”

was ousted as soon as he ascended the throne, how can it be the same as a family......

Long Yuanxiu and Zhuang Mingyue were both speechless.

However, they didn't doubt the Queen Mother's words.

In any case, this is Daehan, and it is not surprising that Zhaoyi Niangniang, as the de facto ruler of Daehan, learned the news of the dissolution of the small inland court earlier than them.

Zhuang Mingyue thought about it and said a little puzzled: "These people killed Liang Songming, probably to ask for a chance to atone their merits, even so, why don't they want to rescue His Royal Highness the Prince?" Anyone with a discerning eye can see the importance of the prince, if they can rescue the prince from Liang Songming's hands, it will be a great credit. ”

Zhaoyi Niangniang sighed, "This palace has already ordered someone to ask, and someone has indeed planned to do so, but the crown prince is the biggest bargaining chip in Liang Songming's hand, and Liang Songming has always looked at him very closely, and even his subordinates have guarded against him." ”

It's no wonder that those who rebelled couldn't save the prince.

However, Liang Songming Tibetans do have a hand, during this time, not only did the Queen Mother send people, but Long Yuanxiu and Zhuang Mingyue also secretly used a lot of spies, but no one found anyone.

Sometimes, Zhuang Mingyue couldn't help but wonder if Liang Songming killed the prince in a frenzy.

But I think Liang Songming shouldn't be so stupid.

"The Queen Mother said before that she invited us to come to discuss the prince's affairs, and now she has repeatedly mentioned Liang Songming, is Liang Songming using the prince as a bargaining chip to make any requests to Niangniang?"

It's quite possible.

Liang Songming lost the hearts of the people and his subordinates, and it was impossible to resist the coalition forces of the two countries with only a few cronies.

Now the only hope is the crown prince in his hands.

As long as he has a little brain, he will definitely use this as a threat to negotiate with the Queen Mother.

Zhaoyi Niangniang confirmed her guess and directly put a letter in front of her and Long Yuanxiu, "Miss Zhuang expected it well, three days ago, one of Liang Songming's cronies found the leader of the coalition with this letter. ”

Long Yuanxiu opened it and frowned.

Zhuang Mingyue's expression also looked a little heavy.

"This Liang Songming is too greedy to avoid it, right? It's understandable to ask for a gold medal for avoiding death, and it's understandable to want glory and wealth, but he actually wants to divide such a large area of the border as his fiefdom, and also ask for hereditary replacement, isn't it a little too big for a lion? Is he crazy? ”

"He's not crazy, he's shrewd."

Long Yuanxiu dipped his finger in the tea and scratched it on the table a few times, "You see, the place he asked for happens to border other countries, if this place is assigned to him as a fief, he will not only be able to master the trade between the two countries, but if Dahan wants to attack him, he can escape to other countries with a twist of his head." Advance can be attacked and retreated, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

This is exactly what Zhaoyi Niangniang is worried about.

Liang Songming is ambitious, if he doesn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it will be really difficult to sleep. Not to mention that according to his request, to provide him with such a great convenience, then she will not want to have a peaceful birthday for the rest of her life.

But if she doesn't agree, then her only son is probably in danger.

Zhaoyi Niangniang rubbed the corners of her forehead with a headache, and couldn't hide her anxiety and said: "Liang Songming's move is ill-intentioned, the mourning family originally wanted to use roundabout tactics to drag on for a while, but unfortunately he saw it." Now that three days have passed, another three days have been taken to send the letter back, and according to the seven-day period he has set, that is, by tomorrow at the latest, the palace must make a decision. ”

Time is really tight......

But that's not the biggest problem.

Zhuang Mingyue glanced at the Queen Mother and asked coldly, "Niangniang, are you planning to give up rescuing the crown prince?" ”

The Queen Mother's face changed suddenly, and she subconsciously wanted to refute.

But when he looked at Shangzhuang Mingyue's clear eyes that seemed to know everything, she paused, and still smiled bitterly, "Does Mingyue think that this palace is too ruthless?" In fact, there is really no way to do it now. After the prince was taken away by Liang Songming, he contracted a cold and became ill. At that time, Tiansheng and Dahan just shook hands and made peace, Liang Songming was furious when he learned about this, and he had no choice but to vent his anger on the prince......"

Zhuang Mingyue didn't expect Liang Songming to be so brutal, even the child was poisoned, and her face couldn't help showing some anger.

When the Queen Mother said this, she rolled down two lines of tears.

However, the woman who can listen to politics is not an ordinary character, she quickly stabilized her emotions, and continued in a hoarse voice: "...... According to the news that came back, the prince is now dying, and even if he is rescued, he is afraid that he will not live long. Liang Songming was afraid that he would have three longs and two shorts, so he urged the palace to give an answer as soon as possible. ”

Since you don't live long, there's no point in saving it.

Compared with Liang Songming's degree of danger, it is no wonder that the Queen Mother wants to give up the prince.

But I have to say that this woman is really ruthless.

Long Yuanxiu tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a while, and said: "After all, you are only the queen mother, it is impossible to be the emperor in the dynasty, if there is no prince, then your position as the titular queen mother is not justified." ”

"The mourning family can adopt a child from the clan."

That's a good idea.

- As long as Zhaoyi Niangniang can be ruthless.

Zhuang Mingyue looked at the struggle on her face, and understood in her heart how strong her feelings for the little prince were, and took the initiative to make a plan: "Actually, there is no need to give up the prince immediately, you can save people back first." Didn't Liang Songming put forward a lot of conditions, we can promise him first, and then we will do it when he relaxes his vigilance. ”

Saying that, she scratched her head in distress, and muttered to herself: "Liang Songming is scheming and suspicious by nature, it is not easy to make him relax his vigilance, but he still has to figure out a foolproof charter first." ”

If there is a way to get the best of both worlds, it would be great.

Zhaoyi Niangniang invited them over, which was what she meant, and when she heard the words, she hurriedly said: "Then this matter will trouble the two of you." ”
