queen's captive gl

After a night of torment, the sky was only slightly brighter, and the main road to the palace was completely blocked. A large number of civil and military officials who came to the morning court hurriedly, and they met acquaintances whispering and chatting, all of them were nervous.

Last night there was a sky-shattering explosion in the imperial palace, and no one in the capital knew it.In no time, the news of the rebellion in the palace spread throughout the capital. When some bold officials rushed to the gate of the palace, they were all stopped by the forbidden army. They all knew that something big must have happened in the palace last night, but no one Know what it is!

On the way to court, I saw many face-to-face guards in the palace, and my heart skipped a beat.

When all the officials were summoned into the Yong'an Hall, there was no one on the throne above the steps of the palace. The Empress Dowager Bushi and Empress Yanshi stood next to the throne with solemn expressions.

Seeing that General Bu Pengfei, who had never been favored by Emperor Xixi, also appeared in the hall, all the officials were amazed!

Rather than saying that they were not sure what the situation was, it would be better to say that they dared not think badly. All the officials suppressed their doubts and saluted one by one.

"See Empress Dowager, Empress Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

The Palace of Yong'an, where the emperors of all dynasties came to court, the officials did not see the emperor, but only the two masters of the harem. This is unprecedented in the history of Dachen. No wonder the officials are uneasy!

Soon, Empress Si spoke, telling the story of Emperor Xixi's sudden death in the palace last night, and then the rebellion, to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

His words are concise, his voice is steady, his speech speed is slow and moderate, and his expression has an indescribable sadness, which is extremely shocking to the ears of all officials. death knell?Then I thought, the empress dowager must have not sounded the death knell in order to stabilize the court.How did Zhou Mi learn about the emperor's death and start the turmoil?I heard that the First Prince was imprisoned in Linqing Palace by the Empress Dowager that night, and he has not let him go until now. Is it related to this matter?

Maybe they have doubts in their minds, but this involves members of the royal family. Whoever dares to interfere with the subjects in the past, the most important thing is not the past, but the present.

When Empress Si finished speaking, the hall fell into silence for a moment, with complicated expressions on her face.The first ones to react were the middle-ranking officials in the back. Several of them lowered their heads and covered their faces and wept.

The favored ministers, the old ministers who fell out of favor, the new young civil servants, and the generals who have been oppressed for a long time, everyone's faces are mostly shocked, except for those who have not lost control. Seeing that the court situation is still stable, Feng Wuyang's heart is settled again. .

Feng Wuyang of Yumen Pass focused on the High Priest Hua Guyue, and the latter had remained silent and indifferent since he entered the hall, the more he didn't move, the more weird she felt!

The Empress Dowager pressed the back of Empress Si's hand lightly, and the Empress nodded slightly to the former and took a step back.

"Twenty years ago and 20 years later, the two emperors died of sudden illness one after another. This is the misfortune of the Dachen Kingdom and the sorrow of the Feng family!" The face of the aging old queen is still so calm and peaceful, and she will be sad The color was suppressed in the bottom of my heart, "Now is a very difficult time for Dachen, and the country cannot live without a king for a day. The Ai family will follow the last emperor Xixi's last order, and will establish the emperor's tenth son, Feng Zhaosheng, as emperor."

His Royal Highness has already begun to have other officials whispering and discussing with each other.

"The emperor's ten sons... isn't that becoming the ten sons?"

"That's right, isn't this the tenth son whose surname was changed to Xiao, Your Majesty... No, why did the late emperor appoint him as the heir apparent? It doesn't make sense, it's really puzzling!"

"Even if they are both princes, since ancient times, if they don't establish a direct lineage, they have established an elder. In terms of qualifications, the nine princes are not bad..."

"..."

If it is said that Xi Xi has collapsed, it is an irreversible fact, and the position of crown prince is the biggest matter of the royal family, and it is also closely related to being the king's minister.The biggest problem at present is that there are six orthodox princes in the current royal family, why did the late emperor help a useless son to become a prince?

Chun Yutai was the first to stand up to raise objections, "Queen! These ten sons have already been removed from their clan by the emperor... the first emperor, and changed their national surname to their mother's surname Xiao. Now how can he be appointed as the heir? This seems a bit unreasonable." ..."

Throughout the dynasties, which prince's accession to the throne is not only a major matter in the country, but also a matter of great concern to the officials of the ruling and opposition parties. What's more, it involves their own interests. Once there is any doubt, no one will let it go, even if faced with It's the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager listened quietly, and said unhurriedly: "Aijia asked you, and I also asked the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the court, does anyone of you know why the late emperor removed a newborn emperor's son?"

This question is not difficult, and someone immediately stood up, and it was Kong Tangcheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Returning to the Empress Dowager, because the birth mother of the ten sons, Mrs. Xiao, misbehaved, the late Emperor abolished her concubine position and put her in charge of the cold palace."

"Good answer!" The Empress Dowager asked again: "Have you ever thought about why, because of the mother's misconduct, innocent relatives and children were thrown into the cold palace?"

For this question, the two rows of courtiers standing on the left and right looked at each other, and no one dared to answer it for a while.

Back then, there were rumors that Concubine Xiao was scheming in the harem, gossips, and openly slandered the emperor, so Emperor Xixi ordered her to be thrown into the cold palace.But it is unreasonable to say that the ten sons, who are the emperor's sons, were angered and implicated just because of the birth mother's wrong words and deeds!

At that time, it was not that there were no ministers pleading for the ten princes, but they were all rejected by Emperor Xixi, so they killed two civil servants, and no one dared to discuss it after that.

In recent years, there have been more princes in the royal family, and gradually, no one cares so much about the ten son who lost his noble status.

Ordinarily, the status of the prince in the harem is more important and noble than the concubine's mother.Back then, the tenth prince was imprisoned in the cold palace as soon as he was born. Some people boldly assumed that the tenth son's biological mother hooked up with the guards in the palace. After the emperor found out, he suspected that the tenth son was not his own. The reason is to abolish the identity of the ten sons!

But this statement was overturned by good people.If Concubine Xiao really committed adultery, with the emperor's violent temper, it would be better to kill Concubine Xiao on the spot, not to mention whether the ten sons were his own, they should be killed together, how could he be left alone? Life?There must be an unspeakable secret in it!

The empress dowager was not in a hurry to speak, but waited for a while before saying: "The four pillars in the grid of the emperor's ten sons are all wood and fire. The tenth prince has no choice but to use this trick to deceive others, so that the tenth prince can grow up safely!"

That's it!

Someone among the officials remembered, yes, the red light that appeared in the palace when the tenth son of the emperor was born, could it be an auspicious sign...

This reason is actually groundless and unfounded, but it is more convincing if the empress dowager personally said it.Everyone also naturally thought that Emperor Xixi had never established a crown prince all this time, and this was probably the reason.

If not, it is really puzzling.

"Queen Mother, since ancient times, a son is more valuable than his mother, these ten sons—"

"What ten sons?" The empress dowager spoke sharply and angrily scolded Chunyutai with a stern look, "It's the emperor of Dachen, your new king. Could it be that you can't even listen to the last emperor's will and the edict of the Ai family? Rebellion?"

As soon as the empress dowager finished speaking, Bu Pengfei drew his sword out of its sheath, with the horizontal sword in front of his chest, and the guards outside the hall even filed in. Immediately, the hall was full of guards in armor and holding sharp swords, waiting in full force, the atmosphere changed from gloomy to Into a tense depressive tension.

All the officials were horrified by such a serious crime, and Chunyutai was dripping with cold sweat.

At this moment, the high priest Hua Guyue, the first courtier on the left column, took a step forward, lowered her chin slightly and nodded, "What the queen mother said is true, the fate of the ten sons of the emperor belongs to Dachen's true son , I am willing to serve the new emperor."

Facing the imperial guards full of halls, how dare Chun Yutai say no again, the crime of rebellion alone is too much for him!

The high priest, whose power held down half of the court, surrendered easily, which was beyond Feng Wuyang's expectation. She thought that Hua Guyue was the biggest obstacle when the new emperor ascended the throne and the regime fell.

Si Wenjie, the first civil official on the right column, stood up, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "I will obey the emperor's decree and serve the new emperor wholeheartedly!

These important courtiers all expressed their willingness to help the new king in a timely manner, and all the officials behind him knelt down to show their loyalty.

The empress dowager's brows relaxed, and she issued an order for the priest's mansion to open an altar to worship the heavens immediately, and three days later to help the new emperor ascend the throne when an auspicious time is selected.

In the past two days, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Chaozhong, and the tenth son Xiao Zhaosheng was most affected.

He was cast into the cold palace since he was born, and his life was difficult, and he was stared at by the palace people. Who would have thought that he would turn over and become a new generation of emperor in Dachen world.Whether Xiao Zhaosheng can adapt to the huge gap between the sky and the earth has become the most worrying thing for the Empress Dowager and Feng Wuyang.

Ever since the Empress Dowager brought Xiao Zhaosheng to the Ci'an Palace last night, she has been silent all the time. When Feng Wuyang saw this younger brother who had been separated for many years, he was already a tall, tall, heroic young man.

Thanks to the empress dowager taking care of him in secret all these years, he has decent food and clothing, and his old robes still can't hide his awe-inspiring aura, and there is already the solemnity that an adult should have in his eyes, but he is only 12 years old this year, delicate and delicate And the fair complexion has not lost the shadow of childhood, high nose bridge, bright eyes, and clear facial features. The empress dowager often mentioned that among the princes and grandchildren, only Xiao Sheng'er looks the most like the ancestor emperor!

"Xiao Sheng! Do you still remember my sister?"

"You...you are Sister Wuyang!"

How could Xiao Zhaosheng not remember her? When he was a child, he was often bullied in the cold palace. It was thanks to this elder sister who helped him teach those court ladies and eunuchs a lesson. After that, he hadn't seen his elder sister for many years. He thought that her elder sister had forgotten him. !

"Is Xiaosheng still used to being here?" Feng Wuyang took him to a stone bench in the garden and sat down, "Grandma Huang and Aunt Su have important things to do these days, if Xiaosheng feels bored, you can come Find my sister."

Xiao Zhaosheng shook his head, and looked at her intently, "The maids and eunuchs in Ci'an Palace treat Xiaosheng very well, but... Xiaosheng won't be able to go back to his mother's place in the future, because they all said that I will be the emperor in the future .”

Feng Wuyang looked at his serious appearance, there was no trace of timidity in his eyes, but anxiety, "What does Xiao Sheng think?"

Xiao Zhaosheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Xiao Sheng is just a commoner, without the status of a prince, how can he take on such a great responsibility?"

"Xiao Sheng is the son and grandson of the emperor's family. It's nothing more than a nihilistic identity." Feng Wuyang's expression was very indifferent, as if he was not talking about the big thing of the prince being the emperor. There are more than [-] people, and Xiaosheng's mother will become the current queen mother, let alone the imperial palace, who would dare to prevent your mother and son from meeting each other?"

"Really?" Xiao Zhaosheng murmured: "In this way, no one can separate Xiaosheng from mother, and mother can still live a life without worrying about food and clothing... But!" He suddenly looked up at Feng Wuyang, bit his lips, "Sister, Xiao Sheng doesn't know how to be an emperor, so how can he make Da Chen world prosperous and prosperous!"

Feng Wuyang smiled softly, and said: "Emperor is not something that everyone is born with. My sister believes that Xiao Sheng will definitely be able to do it. You have to remember that only by implementing a benevolent government can you win the hearts of the people, and only by winning the hearts of the people can you rule the world!"

Suddenly a strong light flashed in Xiao Zhaosheng's bright eyes, and he stared into Feng Wuyang's brown eyes, "Xiao Sheng knows, and will definitely keep my sister's words in mind, and be a good emperor who governs benevolently and loves the people."

Three days later, above the Yongan Hall.

Feng Zhaosheng was wearing a bright yellow Tuanlong court gown, an imperial crown on his head, and blue satin court boots. His eyes were piercing and radiant, and his face was solemn and majestic. He stood calmly without any timidity. He was used to seeing princes Seeing this, the mediocre officials secretly nodded their approval, maybe this young emperor can really bring peace to the court and bring prosperity to Dachen.

When Da Chen took over the burden of the world from the empress dowager, he felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, and he heard a voice that could shake the earth and shake the mountains for thousands of years. In an instant, it seemed that he had grown ten years old suddenly. He set a goal in his heart, that he must live up to Grandma Huang and sister Huang, and become a shrewd, wise and benevolent young king.

The new emperor ascended the throne, with the year name "Yongde".

The internal supervisor stood in front of the throne and read out the first edict of the new emperor's enthronement to the officials of the main hall.

The main meaning of the imperial decree: I am still young, and there are many unknown things in the palace, above the court hall, and even in the world. In order to avoid unnecessary mistakes, I have discussed with the Empress Dowager and elected two assistants. The ministers, the prime minister Si Wenjie and the old dowager Wei Chizheng, conferred the title of princess Hanyue as the princess of the country, and have the privilege of discussing government affairs in front of the court. May I have a long-lasting foundation and a prosperous country!

The former two were highly respected in the court, and the officials did not have any opinion, except of course that Chun Yutai had some words for Si Wenjie.

As for Princess Hanyue, on the night of the late Emperor's death, turmoil broke out among the great Sima Zhou Mi who held [-] soldiers and horses, and the situation was once uncontrollable. The crisis was resolved only after winning, and as a princess, Feng Wuyang lived in the palace and was not a woman in the harem, but a leader in the royal family. It was reasonable to confer the title of supervisor of the country and protect the country and the monarch in times of crisis.

The second imperial decree is about the battle against Mobei in the south, and [-] soldiers from Jizhou, a neighboring city in the south, will be dispatched for immediate assistance, and Gong Ziling will be restored as the commander-in-chief of the army, while Li Tengkou will be transferred as the deputy commander.

In just a few days, from the death of Emperor Xixi to the enthronement of the new emperor, Feng Wuyang dealt with the big and small matters in the palace, slept very little, and was already exhausted.After the enthronement ceremony was successfully completed, the new emperor drove back to the palace. She watched the young emperor disappear around the corner before turning back to Luanfeng Palace, but she met a person in the corridor of Fengyi Pavilion.

Wearing dark and thick priestly court attire, she can still shine brightly, and she can't hide her beautiful posture. No wonder she can fascinate many civil servants and generals in the court, and worship her under her pomegranate skirt.

Besides the high priest Hua Guyue, who else could this person be?

"His Royal Highness, this room is polite!"

"There is no one else here, so why should the high priest be too polite?"

"I remember when I first met His Highness, I was still a child of eight or nine years old. Now that I have grown up and returned to the palace for only half a month, you have stirred up a storm in the imperial capital. No one in the court can compare to you! "

The last sentence told her not to be too polite, but she was really rude in the next sentence!

"The high priest is too humble!" Feng Wuyang said calmly, "I came to Dachen all the way from the snowy land, and spent so many years breaking into our Dachen government. If you are clean, how can I compare to you in terms of means."

Hua Guyue was stunned for a moment, thinking in her heart where she had revealed a flaw that allowed her to see through her identity.

However, it has nothing to do with it!

Hua Guyue then smiled and said: "Women surnamed Wanqi are not easy to mess with, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are lunatics. The good show has just started, the princess must be careful!"

Feng Wuyang stared at her for a while, "You are the secret agent sent by Mobei, there must be nothing wrong with that, what do you mean by telling me this now?"

Hua Guyue said frankly: "Because I don't want her to win too easily."

"In what you said..." Feng Wuyang blinked, "There is so much resentment, are you dissatisfied with her?"

"Actually," Hua Guyue pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I am a person who watches the sky and eats. What happens on this earth has nothing to do with me."

"Such a person should be a transcendent person who can jump out of the mortal world, but why is the Hua Guyue I saw not like this."

"Princess!" A palace maid came up from behind, "It's getting late, you should go back to the palace."

There is only one person who dares to intervene between the high priest and the princess, and who dares to urge her to go back to rest, and that is Niyiyi who is pretending to be Chuntao.

"Excuse me, High Priest!" Feng Wuyang was indeed tired, with a dull pain in his temples, and he was not in good spirits, so he didn't have so much energy to deal with her.

The corners of Hua Guyue's lips curled up, her eyes stared at Feng Wuyang's leaving back with a smile, her eyes gradually dimmed, and she read out the words that had been hidden in her heart, "Because, my surname is also Wanqi. woman!"

Maybe it was because she was too tired, Feng Wuyang slept very deeply that night and had no dreams.

Three days later, after the late emperor was buried, the new emperor came to court on the first day.

The high priest Hua Guyue, who had been silent for a long time, finally had something to say, "I follow the decree of the late emperor to choose an auspicious date for the marriage between the eldest princess and the eldest son, and it will be on the eighth day of the next month."

The young emperor turned his gaze to Feng Wuyang, who had no other reaction except staring at the person who started the performance.

"What does Xiangye think?"

This is the usual technique that the Empress Dowager taught the little emperor. She would ask her assistant ministers for their opinions on things that were difficult to make a decision.

Si Wenjie glanced at Chun Yutai who was beaming with joy, and said calmly, "Dachen is in the period of national mourning, and it will take at least three years before the marriage can be held in the palace."

"This statement is not true!" Chun Yutai walked into the hall, "Your Majesty, etiquette is nothing but human feelings. In ancient times, there was a saying that "officials in the world should be obedient in three days." , should get married as soon as possible!"

Feng Wuyang glanced at Chunyutai, but her gaze was still on Hua Guyue, what was on her mind?I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic, which pot will not be opened and which pot will be lifted.And the latter met her gaze, with a smile on his lips from beginning to end.

"There was an imperial edict in ancient times," Si Wenjie still disagreed. "The situation in Dachen today is not the same. The ritual system is the ritual system, and it is the etiquette passed down from ancient times. Respect."

All the ministers of His Highness nodded in agreement, and some insisted on fulfilling the emperor's will. As usual, the number of people was almost evenly divided.

Chunyutai's complexion is not good. Since the new emperor came to the throne, he has been dissatisfied in his heart. It's all right if he doesn't have his position in the assistant government. If even the implementation of the late emperor's will now encounters all kinds of obstacles, his anger has really reached the point where he can't bear it. up.

Feng Wuyang nodded lightly to Feng Zhaocheng who was seated on the throne, and the intelligent young emperor understood, "Since everyone has their own opinions, you might as well listen to the eldest princess."

One sentence made all the court officials turn their eyes to Feng Wuyang standing proudly. The simple court clothes, the extraordinary appearance was hidden under the veil, and the aura emanating from the body did not match the court, as if a fairy from the sky appeared in the mortal world.

"Now that Dachen is in danger, it's time to employ people. This princess has the responsibility of supervising the country, and she should put the country's affairs first." Feng Wuyang calmly, and glanced at Chunyutai, "The son is a man with ambition and ambition." If a responsible man can do his part for Da Chen, he will live up to the expectations of the late emperor. This palace swears here that the day of our country's great victory will be the day of Feng Wuyang's marriage."

But in just three sentences, Chunyutai was extremely embarrassed when he got the approval of the courtiers.The words of the eldest princess reminded that his eldest son grew up in Beijing since he was a child. Apart from the title of hereditary son, he has no meritorious official position. Now the eldest princess is busy sharing state affairs. In comparison, the eldest son is really ...!

"Princess Chang, Princess Chang is right!" Chun Yutai clasped his hands and said, "It's time for me, Da Chen, to employ people. I sincerely beg the emperor to give the son a chance to serve the country!"

All the ministers in the court also recommended their relatives who had no meritorious reputation to the emperor. On the one hand, they showed their loyalty, and on the other hand, it was a good time for them to make meritorious deeds.

Hua Guyue looked at Feng Wuyang thoughtfully, she had to say that she reacted very quickly, and while getting rid of herself, she also gave Da Chen a lot of new energy.

Queen, queen, it's fine if you win, if you lose this time, you won't even be able to get anyone!

The author has something to say: it will not end so soon
