Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

Shui Rong's unresolved thoughts became firm when Qianxiang Kingdom sent envoys to pay tribute.

Qianxiang Country is a neighbor of the dynasty, but the navy of the dynasty has always been in decline, and Qianxiang Country is far above the island and its national power is tyrannical, so it has not paid tribute to the dynasty, let alone paid tribute.Different from the customs of other countries, women in Qianxiang country are in charge of the government, and domestic women's status is higher than that of men. They are all beautiful and smart, and they are harassed by the Japanese country.

There are often Japanese pirates who try to plunder Qianxiang country’s women and go back. Therefore, Qianxiang country and Wa country are deadly enemies. The two countries continue to fight at sea every year. Xiangguo has been fighting against it for many years, and the two sides have won and lost each other, and they are evenly matched.

But today is different from the past. The emperor secretly set up a naval force, so it is natural to train troops. Overseas is the best choice. After subduing the major pirate forces in the coastal waters of the dynasty, our country's pirates have become the first choice for the naval training of the dynasty.

Since the war, the Japanese pirates have been taken care of by the navy led by Marshal Jin.When the pirates of the Japanese country faced the women's army of the Qianxiang country, they were not afraid of death because the strength of the two sides was not much different.But in the face of the behemoth of the naval army of this dynasty, no matter how fearful they are, they are just doing the same thing, adding casualties.

As a result, the Wa country also restrained their minions, and did not dare to appear within the waters of the dynasty, and turned to doubly harass the Qianxiang country.Zhao Lin mentioned to Jing Xuan before that he rescued a fishing boat from the Qianxiang Kingdom when he was cruising, but in fact this fishing boat was not that fishing boat.

Qian Xiangguo thought of asking for help from the dynasty, but because Qianxiang country is not a vassal state of the dynasty, if she asks for help rashly, she may be flatly rejected.The queen of Qianxiang Kingdom planned to send her princess to pay tribute to the dynasty, willing to be a vassal state of the dynasty and offer generous tributes in order to obtain the protection of the navy of the dynasty.

The fishing boat that Zhao Lin rescued was the disguise of the daughter of King Qianxiang. She was driving this small boat with her guards to rush to the overseas stronghold of the navy of the dynasty and seek shelter from the navy of the dynasty. Transporting tribute and envoys to the capital to pay tribute, unexpectedly met a group of pirates from the Wa Kingdom on the way. If Zhao Lin hadn't met Zhao Lin's "nosy", the princess and her party would have become prisoners of the Wa Kingdom.

Zhao Lin injured his arm in order to save someone, and after being reprimanded by Marshal Jin, he was sent back to Weiyang to recuperate. In the follow-up negotiations with Qianxiang Kingdom, Marshal Jin got the approval after the Emperor Ming, and the two countries have negotiated so far. Finally, the navy of the current dynasty came to the capital to protect the envoy Wang and daughter of Qianxiang Kingdom.

This is also an opportunity that Shui Rong wants to seize.When envoys from foreign countries come to court, the guards in the capital will naturally be more stringent. Who knows if these foreign envoys will harbor evil intentions?Because the ancestors were the commanders of the Jinyi Army, Shui Rong also knew that at this time, part of the Jinyi Army must be dispatched to keep an eye on these envoys, and some of the Jinyi Army are constantly guarding the emperor, so they are used to guard the Baiyun nunnery where the queen is The Jinyi Army is bound to decrease a lot.

Shui Rong knew very well the quality of the hidden guards in his hands, and he was safe against ordinary guards, but he was afraid that he would be against the difficult Jinyi Army.Now seeing that the Jinyi Army of Baiyun'an was taken away to target the envoys of Qianxiang Kingdom, when would it be better not to ask the hidden guards to take action at this time?

The facts seemed to be exactly as Shui Rong had expected, after the dark guards sneaked into Baiyun Nunnery, they reported that Baiyun Nunnery was only guarded by ordinary guards, and the queen was now under house arrest in the nunnery, with no Jin Yijun guarding her.

Shui Rong was suspicious, sent the secret guards to Baiyun Nunnery twice and three times to investigate, and only believed that Baiyun Nunnery had relaxed its guards. He was determined that this day was the day when the emperor held a state banquet for the princess of Qianxiang Kingdom, and Shui Rong was also invited to attend this event. second dinner.Shui Rong knew the customs of Qianxiang Kingdom, during the dinner, Shui Rong pretended to be concerned and put on his usual very gentle expression and said to the princess: "Princess, this sweet brew has great stamina, and an ordinary man might not be able to handle it after drinking three cups." , the princess must not be greedy for its sweetness, drinking too much will cause trouble, and if you lose your dignity, you will not be beautiful."

That princess can't listen to others who look down on women at all. Shui Rong's words sounded very kind to outsiders, but to the sensitive ears of the princess, it doesn't mean that. I just think that Shui Rong looks down on them. He couldn't drink enough, so he worked hard to make wine with Shui Rong.

The military officers are okay, they probably saw a lot of informal women at the border, but the civil servants couldn't help showing some contempt on their faces when they saw the prince's daughter forcing Shui Rong to fight for wine. It's really indecent to be so ignorant of etiquette. Poor King Bei Jing was forced to come here by a woman for the sake of the overall situation.

After going back and forth like this, the princess drank so much that she didn't look drunk, but Shui Rong's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were foggy, and she was a little unsteady on her feet.Seeing this, the emperor comforted the princess, and even allowed Shui Rong to leave the banquet early and go back home to rest.

After Shui Rong left the palace, he got on the carriage of the palace, ate the prepared hangover soup, took a short rest for an hour, and when he opened his eyes again, he no longer saw the drunken and hazy look just now.

The banquet for the princess in the palace was still going on, and it was very lively, and under the cover of such a lively background, Shui Rong sneaked into Baiyun Nunnery with a group of hidden guards in the dark.As the hidden guards had investigated, Baiyun Temple's guards looked strict, but without the most difficult Jinyi Army, this strict guard was like no one's land for Shui Rong.

The queen worshiped the Buddha in the clean room, her face was haggard, her eyes were bloodshot, and she had completely lost the posture of her mother in the world. She looked like an ordinary woman, wearing ordinary bhikkhuni clothes, with only a jade hairpin on her head.

Seeing Shui Rong secretly sneaking in, the queen showed joy after being panicked, Shui Rong made a gesture, the queen stopped the voice that was about to exit, and Shui Rong ordered the hidden guards to guard the left and right, and then said to the queen: "Auntie , Shui Rong came late, causing my aunt to suffer."

Shui Rong's wife, Miss Yan, is the queen's niece, and Shui Rong should call the queen her aunt, especially in this case, such a title is easier to shorten the distance between them.After hearing this, the queen's expression on her face became more and more relaxed, and she showed her gratitude to Shui Rong.

After seeing this, Shui Rong said in a low voice again: "Auntie, this is a secret letter sent by Princess Zhongshun, take a look, is there something wrong with what she said?"

Shui Rong handed the secret letter from Jia Yuanchun to the queen. After reading it, the queen's face changed drastically, and she nodded with difficulty after a long while and said, "I did have such thoughts, but I didn't have that kind of opportunity in the palace. The emperor I have a very tight eye, I have limited manpower, and I can't arrange it seamlessly, although I have this intention, I haven't acted."

Shui Rong frowned: "Then aunt, you are..."

A trace of resentment flashed in the queen's eyes, and she said to Shui Rong: "I thought I was put under house arrest by the emperor, and the truth I saw would never be able to tell others. Now that I see you, I know that God has Eyes, it won't let that kind of scandal be covered up!"

scandal?A moment of astonishment flashed across Shui Rong's heart, and then he became excited again, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, please clarify?"

The queen sneered: "My people accidentally smashed the picture of a beautiful woman under the moon drawn by the concubine Shun, and he was also compensated with a mournful love poem. The concubine Shun is the emperor's concubine, but the emperor did this The posture is very coveted, this father-in-law and daughter-in-law pick up the ashes, is it not a scandal or something? The father and the emperor were caught in the scandal and couldn't get sick, but the emperor used me as a scapegoat. They really are a good couple!"

At the end of the queen's speech, she couldn't hide the hatred in her heart, her eyes became more and more red, her hands were tightly huddled together, her nails pierced her palms, and she didn't know it.

Rao Shui Rong had a tough mind, so he couldn't help but stand still for a moment after hearing this, and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

The queen nodded: "Of course it's true, why would I bother to lie to you with such a scandal, if not, I wouldn't have fallen into such a situation."

Shui Rong is more complicated than the empress thinks, the empress hates Shun concubine, and only wants to grasp that the emperor has an affair with Shun concubine, but Shui Rong subconsciously thinks of the two princes born by Shun concubine.That concubine Shun was sent to the palace by the Lin family, but she has an affair with the emperor, so is it possible that the child in concubine Shun's womb is not the emperor's, but the emperor's?

Thinking of the emperor's love for those two children in every possible way, and personally teaching the eldest prince himself, Shui Rong feels more and more that this is the truth of the matter!As we all know, the relationship between the emperor and the emperor is not harmonious. Since the appearance of Lin Jingxuan, the relationship between the two saints has gradually eased in these years.

Lin Jingxuan, the Lin family, Concubine Shun... Shui Rong had to think more and more that there was a conspiracy inside.Perhaps Lin Ruhai would not dare to do such things as stealing dragons and turning phoenixes, stealing secrets, and confusing the royal family's blood, but the cunning and vicious Lin Jingxuan might not be afraid to do such things.It was after Lin Jingxuan's appearance that the emperor's attitude towards the emperor improved. Could it be that the emperor had plans at that time?

The emperor was disobedient, so there is nothing wrong with the emperor wanting to support the new emperor. Who could be more suitable than the emperor's eldest son?If this eldest prince is still the emperor's own flesh and blood, that would be the best.

For a while, Shui Rong's brain was wide open, and he felt more and more that Lin Jingxuan was a pawn in the hands of the emperor. The emperor ordered Lin Jingxuan to find Shun concubine, a woman who wins over the emperor, and let her conceive the emperor's flesh and blood pretending to be the emperor's blood , justifiably made the child the crown prince, and then... I am afraid that the emperor will not allow the emperor to continue to live, right?

Shui Rong was very excited, and immediately thought that the emperor was pretending to be sick. Lin Jingxuan's medical skills are well known, and he can take care of the little prince's frail body, let alone a small typhoid fever.This time the emperor must be pretending to be sick. The plan is naturally to wait for an opportunity to pull the emperor down and help the eldest prince ascend the throne. Now that the empress has been removed, the emperor will naturally be regent, and the younger brother will also become a puppet. It is not surprising that the desire to control is placed on the emperor, and Shui Rong firmly believes it.

Recalling that when the emperor had not abdicated, he was often stained with the blood of his own son. There is no precedent for not killing the emperor in this dynasty, and the struggle for the throne has always been extremely cruel.However, thinking of this, Shui Rong couldn't help but feel crazy emotions in his heart. The mantis catching cicadas and orioles are behind, the emperor must never guess it anyway, he will see this opportunity.

The emperor is old, so he should take good care of his life and be an old man who doesn't care about worldly affairs, or he should close his eyes obediently. The imperial mausoleum has been repaired for so long, but it's not beautiful if it is always empty, isn't it?

How can there be better candidates to assist the young emperor than the Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager and the Regent King of Beijing?The surging thoughts in Shui Rong's heart could not be stopped no matter what.

"Auntie, I'm afraid the emperor will harm you. You and I should leave here first." Shui Rong made a quick decision, and decided to save the queen no matter what. When the emperor reappears in front of the stage in the future, the queen will be the bargaining chip for the emperor to never recover. There is no room for loss!

The queen would not be willing, she was panicking that she would lose her life anytime soon, and Shui Rong offered to save her, so she was naturally willing. As for the future, it would not be too late to save her life first and then plan later.

Shui Rong rescued the queen, and returned to the Beijing Palace smoothly along the way. Shui Rong knew that the most dangerous place is the safest place. After the emperor found out that the queen was missing, he never thought that the queen did not flee, but returned to the capital. Unexpectedly, it will be in his palace, this is the real foolproof.

Sure enough, as Shui Rong expected, when the emperor heard the news of the disappearance of the queen, he was furious, and sent more people to arrest his elder brother in the suburbs of Beijing. Find the queen's trace.Although Princess Beijing is the daughter of Yan's family, no one in the world thought that the Queen would escape to the house of her niece and son-in-law, nor did they suspect King Beijing. King Qianxiang's daughter was drunk and was carried back to the palace, so it is impossible to be suspected.

Shui Rong watched coldly, and stepped up contact with the civil and military ministers who had always been good friends. When Queen Qianxiang formally proposed to send out a navy to help Qianxiang defeat the Wa Kingdom, King Beijing, King Nan'an, Ma Shangde, the governor of the country, Several ministers of civil and military affairs, including Hou Xiaokang of Xiuguo Gongfu, Shi Guangzhu of Shanguo Gongfu, and Zeng Chong, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, repeatedly objected to prevent the emperor from resorting to military violence, especially now that the emperor is critically ill and wants to cultivate his body and pray for blessings. I'm afraid it's useless to the emperor.

This time is different from the Southern Border War in the later years of the emperor. The Wa country did not invade the territory of the dynasty. The Qianxiang country is just a new vassal country that came to congratulate it. It is still a very weak force in the dynasty to rashly launch a war for such a vassal country. The army is tantamount to using the lives of soldiers to fill the lives of Qianxiang Kingdom. Even if they are not from the Shui Rong lineage, they are dissatisfied. attitude.

For a while, the water-soluble line above the court and the emperor became in a stalemate. The emperor, who was used to arbitrarily arbitrarily dictating the universe, encountered such a large-scale resistance for the first time after establishing his own authority. With the emperor's illness, the word filial piety was suppressed, and the emperor's anger was full of anger, and he had no outlet to vent.

The princess of Qianxiang Kingdom stayed in the capital waiting eagerly for the emperor to fulfill his promise, but the emperor had nothing to do with these angry civil and military officials.But the emperor was not an incompetent person, and he came up with a compromise method. He appointed the eldest prince as the prince, and prayed for the emperor on his behalf as a vegetarian for a hundred days.

Seeing that they could not change the emperor's mind, the ministers had no choice but to give up. The king of Nan'an County even asked to be in command. Although the emperor did not trust the king of Nan'an County, his lineage was good at water warfare since the founding of the dynasty, but the dynasty was abolished. It was only because of the navy that the king of Nan'an County was freed from work. This time the water battle resumed, and it was understandable for the king of Nan'an County to be in command due to emotion and reason.

The emperor had no choice but to agree that the king of Nan'an County should be in command, and at the same time, he installed Zhao Lin, the third son of the Zhao family, as the general, and Huan Qian, the prince of Zhongping, as the governor, and rushed to the battlefield together.Shui Rong was overjoyed, God helped him, Nan'an County King had already reached an agreement with him, once Huan Qian left, why should the Jinyi Army be afraid?

On the tenth day after the army left the capital with King Qianxiang's daughter, the emperor was ill and canceled the grand court meeting.Seeing this scene, Shui Rong knew that what he had been waiting for for a long time had finally happened.

On October [-]th, at the Great Court Meeting, Shui Rong broke into the palace with the empress and a group of soldiers in military uniform, publicly exposed the selfish and corrupt behavior of the emperor and his concubines, and questioned the whereabouts of the emperor, and then fought against the king of Qin. Under the banner of Duke Zhiguo and others, the King of Nan'an County, who was supposed to be far away from the capital, showed up with a large army to support him. Shui Rong looked at the mighty army around him, and then glanced at the aging emperor and a group of people on the dragon chair. The childish little prince showed a smug smile in his eyes.

The regent of the King of Beijing Jing, he is at your fingertips!Even after winning over the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, it is not impossible to add a yellow robe!

However, all these dreams, after Zhao Lin, King Zhongshun, and King Zhongping led a large army to surround the proud Shui Rong and others, after Shui Rong wanted to hold the emperor and prince hostage but was subdued in public by Wei Zhen who jumped from the roof , turned into a bubble that could be broken at the touch of a touch.

"You..." Shui Rong's thoughts turned straight, ignoring the severe pain from the wrist that Wei Zhen trampled off, his face was full of unbelievable horror.

Jing Xuan and the emperor, who was in good spirits and without any signs of illness, walked out from behind the screen, looked coldly at Shui Rong who was suppressed on the ground, and snorted coldly: "Rebellious officials and thieves, what do you have to say now?"

The queen slumped on the ground, showing a dead gray expression. Shui Rong stared at Lin Jingxuan's face, but saw Jingxuan looking down at him as if looking at an ant: "Are you still looking forward to your hidden guard? It's just the light of rice grains. Do you dare to compete with my brocade army?"

One sentence shattered the last hope in Shui Rong's heart, and then he was shocked by the news revealed by Jing Xuan's words. Could it be that the commander of the Jinyi Army is... Sneering teenager.

As if he understood the meaning of Shui Rong's eyes, Jing Xuan calmly explained his doubts: "That's right, you thought that Lord Zhongping was the commander of the Jinyi Army. find."

Winner and loser, after the dramatic ending of the palace change carefully planned by Shui Rong, the people in the capital who were vassals of Shui Rong and participated in this conspiracy also paid the price with their lives. The decision was made and the rest were exiled. The ruler and others seized the title and ransacked their homes and exiled for thousands of miles. The queen was abolished and given a glass of poisoned wine.The rest will be dealt with according to the degree of crime and will not go into details one by one, but these people are all committed treasonous crimes, and they are all unpardonable.

Then, after hitting a big stick once, the emperor naturally knew the way of balance and gave sweet dates to those loyal courtiers, and prepared to amnesty the world by taking advantage of the happy event of the emperor recovering from illness, the prince's first establishment, and Qianxiang kingdom's coming to court , Dafeng Zhuchen.

The first one that shocked the whole world was the emperor's plan to confer the title of the former crown prince against the disapproval of the world.As soon as the emperor ascended the throne and bestowed the titles on his brothers, the former crown prince had already been crowned prince. Now that he wants to add another crown, there is no way to seal it. He can't make the former crown prince the emperor, right?In all dynasties, such unthinkable things have never happened, but the emperor's plan really made all these civil and military officials fall into disbelief, and for the first time, the emperor who is still in the world did not object, but strongly agreed with it.

Now that the capital city has just been cleaned up, there is even news that the emperor wants to favor his loyal ministers. These people are still preparing to show their loyalty in order to obtain a title. Although the emperor's idea is a bit absurd, it is not Not to offend these people's interests, they murmured in their hearts, but they didn't show the slightest expression on the surface, and they wrote books to praise the emperor's brotherhood.These people subconsciously ignored it. When it comes to brotherhood, the first prince and others were even expelled from their clan by the emperor. At that time, they didn't talk about brotherhood at all.

On November [-]th, the emperor opened the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and granted the former prince Huanyu the title of Emperor Wenzong's most virtuous sage, Ruiwu Dahongxiao Emperor. This string of beautiful posthumous titles was added to the front. When the father discussed adding a posthumous title to "himself", he still didn't think it was enough, he couldn't help but have black lines all over his face, and he felt a little helpless.

My ninth younger brother is probably the most persistent person in the world.And he was doomed not to be able to respond to this feeling, but he couldn't help but be moved by this attachment. In the whole world, anyone who dared to be granted the throne so openly would probably only have such a ninth younger brother in 5000 years.

Jingxuan glanced at the solemn emperor and Xiao Qiu'er who forbeared his helpless expression, and silently mourned for his reincarnated biological father in his heart. Seeing the emperor's handwriting, I'm afraid it would be a big deal for Xiao Qiu'er. Don't you know nothing?This gesture of defying the world's comments and the whipping of future generations for the sake of the "beauty" is really clever.
