Qing Ping Le · Double Songs

A gust of wind blew the copper bell on the eaves of the palace. It was not the clear and clear sound in the past, but for some reason today the bell sounded dull and small.This most noble family in Nanyang City and even in the entire Eastern Xia Dynasty is now just like ordinary people's families. Although it is a struggle for imperial power, in the final analysis it is nothing more than the family's shortcomings.

"Eunuch An." In the silence was Rong Ling's nice voice, she said, "You should step back first."

"No." Eunuch An walked out of the door and wiped the perspiration on his forehead. He didn't dare to catch his breath just now, but when he came out, he almost vomited out his beating heart.

After all, the empress is an empress. She has been in the world for more than ten years and has never seen any kind of turmoil. She sat down calmly and looked at Rong Ling with a pair of indifferent eyes. She is still a high-ranking empress waiting for Rong Ling to speak first. .Rong Ling raised her chin slightly, arrogant and calm, although she is not as familiar as the queen, but at least she has the chance to win.

The queen was also a little surprised that she didn't move, so she spoke first, and she said, "Ling'er, if you stop in time, I will treat it as if nothing happened."

"Your Majesty, I am no longer that six-year-old girl. I will believe whatever Your Majesty says."

The queen reprimanded, "What are you going to do? You are the heir apparent of Great Xia, and the throne will be yours sooner or later. If you don't have such patience, how can you bear the heavy responsibility in the future?"

Rong Ling felt it was ridiculous, so she asked, "Your Majesty still doesn't know why he has come to this situation?"

The Queen's expression froze for a moment, then she understood, and asked angrily, "I didn't do this all because of you."

Rong Ling smiled coldly, and asked back, "For me?" She looked into those eyes that looked like her, and said word by word, "Your Majesty is only for Your Majesty himself."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I wasn't worried that you would be coerced into becoming a puppet in the future, why would I be so cruel to attack my younger brother?"

"Isn't His Majesty the clearest reason?"

"Is this the attitude you should have when talking to me?" The queen threw the cup in her hand over, and the white jade fell to the ground with a muffled sound and rolled aside, "I am not only the king of a country, but also your mother. "

"Did the mother treat me as your child? You alienated good officials for Pei Qingyang, you killed your brothers because of some unknown secrets, and you killed your father more selfishly back then. Which one of these is your deed as a king? What should mother do?"

Hearing Rong Ling's words, the empress only cared about her husband's death, "What did Ouyang Shuang tell you?"

"Your Majesty won't even let me see my father for the last time, so how can my father say anything to me?" Although Rong Ling was puzzled by the Queen's reaction, her expression did not show any doubts. She had her own guess, "Father's death is unbearable Has nothing to do with His Majesty?"

"He deserved to die, but when he was in a panic, he abandoned you and took you into captivity."

After so many years, Rong Ling didn't understand why the imperial husband did what he did back then. Suddenly seeing the empress calling the imperial husband's name with a contemptuous expression, she suddenly opened up the joint, "Isn't he my biological father?" Even more certain, "No wonder His Majesty is so cruel that he didn't even let me know about his death."

"Yuanjia, if you worry about little things, how will you be the king of a country in the future?" Once the queen finds out Rong Ling's weakness, she will take advantage of the victory and pursue her, "You may not like what I do, but I really do it for the sake of it." You, Ouyang Shuang died because he almost harmed you, Chang Ning and Jing Yuan did the same, I want to pave the way for you to be an emperor."

Rong Ling looked at the queen quietly. At this moment, her face was overflowing with love and concern. She tried to search for a flaw with her eyes calmly, but unfortunately her eyes returned in vain. In Rong Ling's eyes, only false.Her biological mother was stingy with her sincerity, let alone others?

Rong Ling's eyes were slightly cold, she looked away, and called, "Come here."

"The end is here."

"Your Majesty has been working on state affairs in recent days, and his body has been damaged due to excessive fire. Therefore, he needs to live and recuperate in the palace for a while. You should take good care of this place and prevent outsiders from disturbing His Majesty's recuperation."

"The last general takes orders."

Rong Ling opened the door of the bedroom, and the drizzle was as soft as silk. Before stepping out of the palace door, she said, "Your Majesty is resting, and my son will come back tomorrow." After she finished speaking, she stepped outside, and the palace door behind her was closed again. The dead silence after the quarrel in Yu's room.

Pei Qingyang was slammed down under the eaves of the Yeting courtyard. Before he could groan in pain, he was startled by the ensuing movement. His left and right arms were thrown over from Zhijinweili one after another. Although he knew the situation was unfavorable, he still Luckily, she still placed the final bargaining chip on the queen.

Jing Yu moved a red Nan chair and placed it in the middle of the eaves, Rong Cheng wore a plain palace gown, and walked slowly from a distance, wearing a slender and graceful ring.She sat down on the chair with picturesque eyes and a smile, holding her breath everywhere she looked, even Pei Qingyang didn't dare to be presumptuous for a while.

"Lord Pei." Rong Cheng's voice was gentle, "Long time no see." Xia Feng stood behind her holding Rong Cunshan's spirit card.

Pei Qingyang was startled when he saw the name on the divine lord, but he pretended to say, "Princess Anle shouldn't be locked up in the palace, how could she appear in the forbidden area of ​​the palace? The princess knows that disobedience to the sacred order is a death penalty."

Rong Cheng's eyes turned cold in vain, "However, in just half a year, Mr. Pei is no longer the same as Mr. Pei before. If you let it go, this forbidden area of ​​the palace may become Mr. Pei's own."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Rong Cheng sneered, "I almost forgot what I was talking about when I came to see Mr. Pei this time." Her eyes were so cold that Pei Qingyang couldn't feel a shiver, so she said slowly, "Mr. Pei Do you still remember Rong Cunshan?"

Pei Qingyang suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly argued, "That person is a rebel."

"Does Master Pei have evidence?" She said again without answering, "I only know that he is my brother, and it's only natural for my sister to avenge my brother. Come here."

Only at this moment did Pei Qingyang and those gold guards realize that there were not only black armored imperial guards under the corridor eaves, but also golden guards wearing red clothes and gold rims like them. The guards who had been with the imperial guards as Rong Cheng's words came out were colleagues who had been with each other day and night. Jin Wei.These gold guards were calm, knowing that the situation was inevitable, but Pei Qingyang couldn't hold back his anxiety and began to yell.

Rong Cheng said quietly, "Do it."

Holding a stick of black sandalwood carved with silver and carved flowers, Zhi Jinwei walked down the verandah from all sides and approached a few people. Pei Qingyang was hit on the calf with a stick when he was about to run, and he fell to the ground and screamed.The screams continued one after another, and Zhi Jinwei, who had resisted stubbornly just now, couldn't help crying out in pain at last. The Zhi Jin Wei who was beaten with sticks was really the thug who followed Pei Qingyang to Yecheng Temple that night.

Rong Cheng raised his chin slightly, and just watched the brutal torture with a cold eye. She wanted to inflict the crimes that Rong Cunshan suffered that day on them. She gave an order not to strike too hard, and she wanted to watch these murderers slow down in pain. Only by dying slowly can we comfort the spirit of goodness in heaven.She looked slightly sideways at Rong Cunshan's God Master card, and said, "Look, brother."

That night Rong Cunshan refused to cry out from the beginning to the end, which made Pei Qingyang tease his cruel heart even more. Rong Cunshan suffered far more than this moment, but Pei Qingyang's cry was still the worst, and he even took on a crying voice to beg Rong Cheng to let him go he.Rong Cheng just looked at him coldly, seeing the blood from his internal organs sprayed out from his mouth, spilled all over the floor, and finally lay dying in a puddle of blood, with his eyes open before he died. He stared at Rong Cheng.

Rong Cheng got up and didn't take another look, just said, "Sweep it clean." Then he lifted his feet and left Yeting as before, Xia Feng put a piece of white cloth on the God's Lord Card again, and left Yeting together with her.

The content of Tai Chi Hall in the East Palace Ling Jing has not recovered from this matter, she sat quietly in the hall waiting for Rong Cheng's arrival, Rong Cheng stopped the transmission and stepped into the hall without her noticing, seeing her uneasy expression, Rong Cheng understood, She stopped and stood by the door without making a sound, and when she looked far away, she was caught by the flying pavilion in the back garden lake, and she simply looked at the sky.

The whole Nanyang City was as calm as before, and the streets and alleys outside Xiao Qiang were still bustling. No one would have thought that a mild coup had just happened inside Xiao Qiang.Fortunately, Rong Ling was prepared to return to the city early, so that this coup d'etat ended so easily, Rong Cheng's eyes were dim, and he sighed unconsciously.

When Rong Ling came back to her senses, she was startled when she saw a figure by the door, and then woke up again, knowing who it was, she asked, "Is the person dead?"

Rong Cheng turned around and saluted first, "A total of nine people were all killed with sticks, and the gold guards need to be re-recruited by His Highness."

Rong Ling said, "I'll leave it to you to do it."

"No, the golden guard guarding the forbidden area of ​​the palace is related to the safety of the royal family and cannot be entrusted to outsiders. This matter must be handled by His Highness himself." She continued, "The same is true for the imperial army. The soldier talismans north of Dongjiang are now in Qingping's hands. Except for the imperial army in Nanyang City There are garrison troops in the three nearby cities, and the fourth battalion His Royal Highness may have to reorganize."

"Ah Cheng, stay and help me."

Rong Cheng prostrated himself on the ground but said, "Father submitted the paperwork for retiring to Jingzhou earlier, and I ask His Highness to recite the favor for many years of love."

"Emperor Mother has been imprisoned and Pei Qingyang is dead. The case of King Changning being suspected of rebellion is pure nonsense. Why do you still insist on moving your family to that remote place? Besides, the prince is old and the smoky place in Jingzhou It's doing him more harm than good."

Rong Cheng kowtowed and couldn't afford it, "I'm sure Your Highness will give you permission."

"You get up first." Rong Ling's expression also turned cold, "I know that King Chang Ning's memorial was your idea, but at that time it was an expedient measure, now that the crisis is over, why are you doing this? "

"Father didn't ask about court affairs for a long time because he wanted to stay out of it. In this case, I should follow his wish and go to Jingzhou to save the palace in the future." She bowed again, "If Your Highness grants Anle, I will stay in the capital To assist Your Highness, there is no difference in terms of whether your father is with His Highness or not."

Rong Ling's voice became colder, "Are you afraid that I will use the palace to coerce you?"

Rong Cheng knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Anle doesn't mean that." Suddenly she stopped kneeling, instead straightened up with a smile in her eyes, "I just want my father to enjoy his old age and stay away from right and wrong, but he suffered Sister Huang is suspicious for no reason." After finishing speaking, she sighed again, "Sister Huang, An Le dares to say that a king should be afraid of being too suspicious."

When Rong Ling opened her eyes slightly, she felt touched, and raised her eyebrows lightly, "I wouldn't be like this if you weren't usually quick-witted. If Che'er told me these things, I wouldn't think much about it."

"How could Huangjie be so biased? Ah Che always said one more word to me and it would be wrong, so I might as well go to Jingzhou with my father, and save myself from being disgusted by others."

"You really want the prince to go to Jingzhou?" Rong Ling said, "Jingzhou is far away and inconvenient. If you really want the prince to stay away from right and wrong, it would be better to pick a good place."

"I've already handed in the previous papers, and if I change it again, I'm afraid the courtiers will criticize me. Tomorrow, the imperial sister will take over the country on behalf of the emperor. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not waste your prestige."

"The prince and concubine have taken me very well since I was a child, and I don't want to wrong him in my heart."

"It's not a grievance in the name of monitoring the construction of Jingzhou Road. Don't worry, Huang Jie, I have my own arrangements."

Rong Ling raised her eyebrows again, "I knew you were already prepared. I'm afraid that everything in Jingzhou is in order, so I'll just wait for my imperial seal to let me go."

Rong Cheng only smiled and said nothing, but Eunuch An's voice came from outside the door, he whispered, "Your Highness, Your Majesty refuses to eat."

Rong Ling looked at Rong Cheng with some puzzled eyes, and Rong Cheng said with a smile, "Your Majesty will inevitably use his temper to test the depth of the emperor's sister when he encounters such a sudden change. It's too early for me to go back to the palace."

Rong Ling nodded, and said, "Remember to come to sit with me tomorrow."

Seeing Rong Cheng's return, King Changning was relieved. All the imperial troops outside the mansion had withdrawn an hour ago. The people in the mansion did not dare to move when they heard the commotion. Only when everything calmed down did they realize that the danger had turned into good fortune. Several side rooms were in the yard Kneeling to thank God, only the prince has been waiting for Rong Cheng's return.

Seeing his father salute first, Rong Cheng said, "Your Majesty is under house arrest and Pei Qingyang is dead. I begged with the imperial sister and will approve my father's book tomorrow. The sooner the matter of going to Jingzhou, the better."

King Changning's eyes dimmed, and he said, "Are you afraid that the palace will be hijacked by Yuan Jia in the capital, or do you have other plans?"

"How could father think of going together with Huang Jie? How could I be afraid of Huang Jie's coercion. I just hope that after this matter is settled, Huang Jie will go to Jingzhou to reunite with the whole family after she ascends the throne, so as to stay away from the century-old foundation of Bao Wangfu."

"That's good." The prince murmured, "I am afraid that you will still want to avenge Cunshan for my father."

Rong Cheng's eyes froze, but he said, "Pei Qingyang and those few gold guards are dead, brother's feud is over for now."

The prince finally sighed and stopped speaking, and the room fell into silence. After a long time, the prince spoke again full of concern, "After your father leaves, you should be careful about everything in the imperial city, and remember not to forget your identity by relying on being close to the East Palace. "

Rong Cheng smiled and said, "Daughter knows."

In the early morning of the next day, the officials waited for a long time for His Majesty to come and whispered to each other, not to mention that standing behind Princess Yuanjia, who was the leader today, was Prince Chang Ning, who was convicted of crimes just a few days ago. Not only did he not attend the court for so long Princess Anle is also among the top.The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty played their drums in their hearts, and those with discerning eyes discovered that Pei Qingyang was not here.

Eunuch An's shrill voice came in from outside the hall, "The imperial decree has arrived."

Princess Yuanjia and all the ministers knelt down to welcome the imperial decree. Mr. An stepped into the gate of the palace with the imperial decree in his hands and walked up to the high platform, reading out, "I have been in power for ten or nine years, and the world has been shattered. Fortunately, thanks to the spirit of my ancestors, The Great Xia will survive the crisis forever, but now that I am getting older and tired, I may not necessarily bow to the court. Yuanjia, the Eastern Palace, has shown the wonders of heaven and martial arts, and the great talents have grandly built my Great Xia to honor my will. From today onwards, I order Yuan Jia to come to the court in my place, and all the officials and ministers will cooperate and recommend it as if I came in person, and give it to me personally."

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Eunuch An stepped down from the high platform and presented the imperial decree to Rong Ling. Rong Ling took the imperial decree and knelt down and worshiped, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Proud girl.

She said, "I am very grateful for your majesty's favor, and I am also grateful to all of you for your generous help." She paused and continued, "This is the first time this palace is here to ask about politics, do you have something to say? "

King Chang Ning was the first to go out, and he said, "The old minister went to Jingzhou to supervise the construction of Jingzhou Road earlier, and please allow His Highness."

"Your Majesty, the prince's son, has already shown it to me. It's very kind of the prince to have such a heart, but I think the long journey to Jingzhou may exhaust the prince's body."

King Chang Ning said earnestly, "The old minister is willing to ruin Da Xia's heart."

"Since the prince has made up his mind, I will grant the prince's request." These words are just polite words in the court, they have already been prepared and I don't know how many times they will have to say them in the future.

"The old minister thanked His Highness." The prince bowed and bowed again, "Thanks Your Majesty for your kindness."

The matter of King Chang Ning was just a formality. The officials saw that his uncle and nephew had finalized the matter in a few words, and they knew it well. The courtiers who have made good friends are trying to protect themselves at this moment, so they dare to say more.
