Chapter 120:
Queen Jiang knew that they were clearly forcing the palace.
However, they have the most high-sounding reasons.
The Qing Ping Emperor can no longer issue any will, not even a word. The decree he once issued became the best shield for the Xu family to use.
God's decree.
The Qing Ping Emperor has become their puppet.
They have military power and shamelessly stand on the moral high ground.
For a time, Queen Jiang was speechless, and even Jiang Xiang's faction could not say anything to refute. They could only allow the officials of the Xu family to push Xue Yunhong, who was picked up from the harem, to the throne together.
Empress Jiang only had enough time to order as the queen to seal the concubine Shu Gui in Mingluan Palace, and no one was allowed to visit.
She knew that there was only one way she could keep Concubine Shu and the child in her womb.
However, Xue Yunhong and the Xu family did not care about this. After all, by now, he is no different from sitting on the throne. The harem is not allowed to do politics, and Emperor Qingping has become a waste, who else can be bigger than him?
At that time, whether he will live or die, will it not depend entirely on his own feelings?
Xue Yunhong did not refute Empress Jiang's decree. Surrounded by ministers, she sat on the dragon chair for the first time.
Today's chapel is very different from the past.
Yesterday's Xu family is a criminal minister who is in jeopardy, and may be convicted and annihilated by the emperor at any time.
But today's Xu family, but the mother family of the prince Xue Yunhong, is the most powerful relative.
This time in the early court, all the ministers were silent after dealing with the important affairs of the court. Regardless, the silence did not last long before it was broken by an official.
He is an official of the Xu family.
He knelt down in the court hall and bluntly said that there were some unknowns about the case of Shandong prefect's embezzlement of money for disaster relief.
The official only said that he was in contact with the Minister of Beijing, and that the matter of greed for ink, grain and grass was instructed by the Minister of Beijing. However, who is this minister has never been found out. It must be the prefect who wants to lead the misfortune to the east and reduce the guilt, so he randomly pulls a Beijing official into the water.
Therefore, this case needs to be re-examined.
No one can hear the officials present, he is excusing Xu Xiang?
A newly appointed local prefect has the guts to withhold the materials approved by the imperial government. It is clearly under the orders of others to disturb the imperial envoy in Jiangnan. As for why the Jingguan has not been revealed so far? It's not that the Qing Ping Emperor has not made a final decision, so he delayed it for a while.
Now, Emperor Qingping is in a coma, and the four princes sit on the dragon chair. The first thing they have to do is to pay attention to what the Xu family has done.
However, before the courageous minister could refute, Xue Yunhong smiled happily.
"If that's the case, it's okay to check it again," he said.
Then the officials watched helplessly as he arranged to re-investigate the case.
He is also Xu Xiang's confidant.
The early dynasty after that became the occasion for the fourth prince and the courtiers of the Xu family to talk to each other and talk to themselves.
The soldiers served as guards, held ceremonies and announced to the world under the witness of all the ministers.
After that, the only one who can remove the crown prince is the sleepy majesty.
The soldiers surrounded by Qinmenguan outside the city will wait until Xue Yunhong takes this position before continuing their mission and go south to suppress the bandits.
For a time, except for the Xu family's henchmen, all the ministers in the court were somewhat gloomy.
They know where they are.
Although it is not a change of dynasty, it is no different from a change of dynasty. The "new emperor" ascended the throne by such despicable means, and the Xu family, who greedy for a large amount of gold and silver in the national treasury, had the merit of the dragon.
Not to mention these ministers who are on the wrong side, they will definitely be at risk, even the entire Dayong today is in jeopardy.
—
An early morning came to an end under the silence of everyone with different expressions.
After the early dynasty, Xue Yunhong specially kept the official who was responsible for re-investigating the Shandong prefect's corruption of ink, grain and grass, and talked about it in private.
The two of them are in the imperial study, no one can enter, and naturally no one knows the content of the conversation.
Even if they are well-informed, and they are all ears and eyes, they have not received any news.
Duan Chong rarely showed an anxious look, pacing back and forth in the hall uneasily.
He only asked the Xu family to suppress Xue Yan's arrogance, but he didn't expect that the Xu family would make such a deadly act, and it was still successful.
Xue Yunhong will be the prince soon. At that time, when Emperor Qing Ping died, who could not last long, Xue Yunhong would be the emperor.
Who is behind Xue Yunhong? It was they who helped Xue Yan deal with the Xu family for more than a year, and they were in the same vein as Lingfu, who had been grumbling with them for a long time.
By then, where will their East Factory still have a foothold? Duan Chong, can he still save his life?
At this moment, a man came back and returned to his life.
"Really there is no wind at all?" Duan Chong asked.
Duan Chong angrily said, "Trash!"
He didn't dare to speak.
Wu Shunhai next to him hurriedly asked him to calm down: "Chang Gong, calm down, this in the palace... is really difficult to handle!"
Duan Chong knew that this was the truth.
But what else can he do?
At this moment, Wu Shunhai carefully suggested: "Why don't you think of a way, find a few subordinates, and go out of the city?"
Duan Chong looked at him.
Wu Shunhai knew that his reaction was a show, and he quickly proposed: "From here to Jiangnan, it is only a few days' journey. The fourth prince is to be the crown prince, and the ceremony of the guard of honor needs to be prepared now. Even if the day is good, it will have to wait until at least ten days. If the King of Guangling can come back before then..."
Speaking of this, he stopped his voice meaningfully.
Sure enough, Duan Chong's eyes lit up.
He was in a hurry, how could he forget, and Xue Yan.
That kid is like a jackal, very fierce and arrogant, if he returns to Beijing, can he make the fourth prince get his wish?
As long as Xue Yan comes back, then he can let go of most of his heart.
As for how Xue Yan enters the city and how to contend with the fourth prince, that is something Xue Yan himself has to consider.
At that time, Dongchang will take the opportunity to add fuel to the flames, and from Longzhigong, it will be safe and secure.
Thinking like this, the gloom on Duan Chong's face faded a bit.
He seemed to have forgotten that this stumbling block was given to Xue Yan by himself, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Go, send a few people, find a way to go out of the city, and contact me as soon as possible. At Duan Fourteen, find King Guangling."
But at this moment, there is a fan at the door to report.
"...the factory master!" The tone of the child was a little surprised. "It's Protector Duan back!"
Duan Chong was surprised.
"Quick, come in quickly." He hurriedly said.
I saw that Duan Shishi had already walked in without waiting for him to turn around.
Ten-year-olds are growing up. Now this kid is only thirteen years old. After going south for half a year, he has jumped a lot and is already as high as Duan Chong.
Duan Chong saw him, almost as if he saw Xue Yan.
"Why is my son back?" he asked. "Where is His Royal Highness King Guangling now?"
Duan Shishi stood still in front of him, just looked at him quietly, without salute.
In the eyes of the teenager, there are not many emotions that ordinary people would have, only cold and quiet, like a jackal staring at its prey and waiting for an opportunity.
Duan Chong frowned indifferently.
He hates this feeling of being unsubmissive, especially in front of the dog he raised with his own hands.
"What?" he asked quietly.
"The vassals come back and do something for King Guangling," he said.
"What is so urgent, you should also salute your foster father!" Wu Shunhai, who was next to him, said hurriedly.
But Duan Shishi gave him a light look.
The next moment, a young falcon-like figure suddenly appeared.
The sword light flashed, and a sharp blade pierced Duan Chong's chest.
"The vassals come here and take your life for King Guangling." Duan Chong held a sword in one hand, stood in front of him, and said lightly.
His sword pierced into the right chest, not the key point of Zhong Duan Chong. He let out a pained cry, followed by screaming desperately: "Someone! Come on!"
However, it was quiet.
Duan Chong's vision was a little blurry.
He saw that there were quite a few fans, standing there quietly, not knowing when they became Xue Yan's vassals.
The rest were all held in place by the sudden appearance of Jin Yiwei, unable to move. Even Wu Shunhai next to him was strangled by a Jin Yiwei, and even if he struggled, he couldn't struggle much.
Duan Chong met Duan Shishi's gaze.
The next moment, the blade was pulled out and pierced into another part of Duan Chong's body again.
still not the point.
"A total of 17 knives. At that time, the subject was three years old, and the number was still clear." Duan Shishi said.
The last sword pierced his throat.
Hot blood splashed on Duan Shishi's face.
Duan Shishi's body and hands were already stained with blood.
At this moment, a Jin Yiwei rushed in.
Duan Chong turned around.
He was covered in blood, like a demon crawling out of hell. The blood stains on his face made him feel a little uncomfortable. He raised the back of his **** hand and wiped his cheek.
Several bloodstains ran across in an instant, making him look even more vicious.
"When will the prince arrive?" he asked.
The Jin Yiwei said: "In a few moments, the prince will arrive at the military camp outside the city. At this time, Yanyun's iron cavalry is ready to go. Just waiting for the prince to arrive, he will enter the city."
The fourteenth paragraph is roughly the same time.
“Go,” he said. "Go to Yongning Gongfu."
