Chapter 318 Yanjing Rebellion Fighting for the Crown Prince
A person who can achieve Zhongshu Ling will naturally not be a simple character.
In fact, when Emperor Yanwu left Beijing with only concubine Si and the little prince, Cui Ce had already had an idea in his heart.
The Cui family is powerful, but the fate of the family is closely linked with the third prince. If Ying Zheren came to the throne twenty years later, the Cui family would definitely not be accommodated.
Ren, the emperor ruled the world with benevolence and love. Didn't Emperor Yanwu have this in mind when he chose the name? Cui Ce didn't believe it.
Placing eyeliner beside the emperor, this is a courtier who is prepared for danger in times of peace. And now, the bells and whistles are about to become reality.
Ying Zheming is in a state of bewilderment, waiting to die, risking his life? These two words hit his brain, making him stutter, "Uncle, fight... what?"
"Oh!" Cui Ce looked sad and angry at his indisputable, "It's this time, what else can we fight for? Naturally, it's the Iron Throne and the Black Bird Crown!"
Throne!
Win Zheming's countless times of Xiaoxiang, one day in the world, and watch the prosperity of the prosperous age side by side with Shen Liqing. But that was based on the approval of the emperor. Now that the crown prince has not been established, he is going to surpass the crown prince, and he will be in place in one step?
It is important to know that winners and losers, one careless move, the whole game belongs to them. "Uncle, concubine mother, how sure are you...?"
Concubine Cui Shu's eyes sparkled, her lips trembled a little, mixed with emotions of excitement, excitement and apprehension. "Ming'er, it's always a matter of wealth and wealth. If you don't make up your mind, the knife will be on your neck."
"Then father?" At this time, Ying Zheming was still thinking about Emperor Yanwu.
If the new emperor ascends the throne, wouldn't he want to kill the king?
Cui Ce said: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and he has never mentioned the matter of establishing a crown prince. In the past, the officials speculated that he would appoint a fifth prince, and the country would change hands; but now he still refuses to establish a crown prince. Is it possible that he still wants to establish a prince?" A half-year-old child? The emperor is fatuous. As the most valuable prince in the royal family, you should be on the side of the Qing emperor and guide the court. When you ascend the throne, respect him as the emperor, and just move to the palace."
Regarding Emperor Yanwu's future, Cui Ce has already made clear arrangements.
With his uncle's reassurance, Ying Zheming took a deep breath, with blue veins protruding from his forehead, and began to return to his senses, "Uncle, right now, the army...how many troops can we mobilize?"
The struggle for imperial power has always been **** and bloody. Without the support of military power, it is tantamount to going forward with no deterrence.
After asking this crucial question, Cui Ce was not too disappointed, he patted Ying Zheming on the shoulder, "The commander of the city defense army, Yin Heng, is one of ours; , have been pulled out, and are now in the hands of the Taifu; there are still some troops stationed outside Yanjing, but they are under the control of King Li. Therefore, if we want to win, we must preemptively take the command of the Imperial Forest Army and occupy the palace. If you can get the Queen Mother to support you, then your seat will be secure."
Queen Mother? Ying Zheming rolled his eyes, "Is Li Qing back? The Queen Mother values Li Qing the most."
When he mentioned Shen Liqing, what did Cui Ce think of, "Your Majesty left Beijing, and Grand Tutor Shen will act as the supervisor of the country. If you want to make trouble, you can't get around Taifu Shen. Fortunately, you have a relationship with Shen Liqing, and Grand Tutor Shen loves Shen Liqing the most. How to say, make Taifu Shen work for us, you should understand."
"Naturally." Ying Zheming looked a little more confident and calm. "It's nothing more than profit and power. Xu Shen's family is a family of thousands of generations, and the family will last forever."
**
Ying Zheming thinks about his mistakes behind closed doors, but he is actually under surveillance.
However, this night, when the night was dark and the wind was high, two dead men Cui Ce raised killed the watcher. Afterwards, a carriage left Mingjun Wang's Mansion and went straight to Shen's Mansion on West Chang'an Street.
Knocking on the door bolt, Ying Zheming, wearing a cloak and hood, got out of the carriage. The old butler of Shen's residence opened the door immediately, with a vicissitudes of face. "Is it King Ming? My lord has been waiting for a long time."
Under the guidance of the butler, Ying Zheming bypassed the hanging flowers and the screen wall, and entered the inner hall.
Master Shen has prepared tea.
Ying Zheming, who stepped forward with one leg, has already bowed down. "Congratulations to Taifu, congratulations to Taifu."
Master Shen pointed to the teacup on the table, signaling please go ahead. While scraping the tea with the lid of the cup, he rolled his eyelids, "Isn't King Ming imprisoned? Now he is free?"
In the past, because King Ming was obsessed with Shen Liqing, Grand Tutor Shen would often embarrass him. In Taifu Shen's view, one must abide by the rules and duties one day before getting married, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the noble daughter of Shen Liqing's family.
Mingjun Wang smiled, and the success of today's affairs depends on the Tai Tuo, so no matter what, you can't show timidity, you can't be vague, you can only insist on it. "Teacher, the Kunpeng spreads its wings and will eventually soar to the sky; the mysterious bird is dormant, and its sound will shake the four fields."
Da Yan uses the mysterious bird as his totem, but Ying Zheming compares himself to the mysterious bird? !
He rolled his big eyes, "Speak human!"
Ying Zheming's back stiffened, the mentality of being a grandson-in-law was at work, and he almost showed timidity. "Teacher, Your Majesty is currently trapped in Wanzhou, and his life and death are unknown. As the elder son of His Majesty, I should take the lead and serve the country and the people. Besides, Li Qing and I are in love with each other. When I board the Dabao, I will The day when Li Qing wears the phoenix crown and mother's ceremonies to the world. The phoenix girl deserves her name, and we are a destined couple. At present, the situation in Yanjing is still unpredictable, and many forces are about to move. Zhe Ming is here, please help me A helping hand."
Taifu Shen looked deeply at Ying Zheming, his eyes were secretive.
Frankly speaking, he is not optimistic about Ying Zheming. Compared with the fifth prince back then, he is far behind. However, it became an indisputable fact that the Son of Destiny fell and Shen Liqing was given a marriage to win Zhe Ming. He had to obey God's will.
In the past three years, no matter whether it was Shen Liqing or Shen Taifu, they repeatedly postponed their marriage on the grounds that the emperor had not established a heir. Shen Liqing was not allowed to marry Ming Wang.
From the emperor's point of view, his Shen family has a phoenix girl, isn't the emperor afraid? It is bound to be like a stick in the throat. Because of the Shen family's meritorious deeds for generations, it was delayed. But with the suspicious nature of the emperor, there will be such a day sooner or later. So Taifu Shen has been seeking a way out for the Shen family.
Emperor Yanwu took only Concubine Si with him during his trip to Wanzhou, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that perhaps the vacant crown prince was reserved for that infant child.
If the crown prince is not established, and the phoenix girl is not real, the Shen family's wealth will have nothing to rely on.
Now, is it time? Once this game goes wrong, the Shen family will be prosperous for generations, and it will be destroyed.
"It's better to help yourself than to ask for help. This old man would like to know, why does King Ming help himself?"
Ying Zheming pretended to be deep, and smiled lightly, "I secretly thought that those who gain the way will be helped more than those who have lost the way. The Tai Tuo helps me, and I am like a tiger with wings. I will make the city defense army and the imperial forest army merge into one, and tell the world, Your Majesty The choice with the queen mother. In the name of the Qing emperor, punish the treacherous and evil concubine, make me the new emperor, and restart the prosperity of the prosperous age."
For a moment, Taifu Shen looked at the eloquent and eloquent Ying Zheming, and in a trance, he wore the twelve crowns of the emperor's crown on his head, showing off his majestic majesty.
"Teacher, when it's time to break it up, make a quick decision. The Shen family and I are on the same boat, and Li Qing and I are also engaged in a marriage contract. I think you already know that Li Qing has become a woman in Wanzhou as early as in Wanzhou." My woman, I will never treat her badly. If Li Qing doesn't marry me, and her second marriage fails, what will the world think of her?"
Mentioning this incident, Taifu Shen's forehead twitched, and his blood disappeared from his anger. But one thing Ying Zheming said was right, Shen Liqing was betrothed to the fifth prince, who died of illness; Shen Liqing was betrothed to the third prince, if there were any troubles with the third prince, no one in this world would be able to marry her anymore.
As soon as the table was clapped, Taifu Shen stood up, "Please go back, King Ming. Today's alliance has been concluded, and we will share wealth and honor together in the future. Go and dispatch troops, and rush into the palace at Haishi tomorrow."
Ying Zheming was overjoyed, "Grandfather is above me, and my grandson pays homage to me."
This obeisance is to formally form an alliance on behalf of Shen Ming in the name of Shen Liqing's husband.
Who is next door to the Shen family?
The prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the proton who settled in Dayan—Bai Shaoze.
Master Shen has already found out that Bai Shaoze once invited Zheyu's wife, Baicaoshi, into the garden, so why?
Whether the King of the Ming County enters the Shen Mansion today, will the Northern Qi Proton know.
To keep the secret of Feng Nu, some people must die.
Shen Huanshan, the eldest son of Taifu Shen and uncle of Shen Liqing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "Back then, the mother and daughter next door survived by luck. Today, the son of the Northern Qi Dynasty will not have such good luck. My son will order someone to do it."
Wait, Taifu Shen suddenly twitched his eyelids.
If Baicaoshi is the younger sister that Bai Shaoze was looking for so hard, that is, the child born in Yanjing's vision more than ten years ago, then is she the real Phoenix girl of destiny? ! And Zhe Yu, who resembles the Fifth Prince, married the Phoenix Girl of Destiny, doesn't this fit Duchen's hexagram?
The phoenix girl was born on West Suzaku Street, but it was not Shen Liqing, but Baicaoshi?
The Son of Destiny and the Phoenix Girl of Destiny are married and rule the world. Therefore, Zhe Yu is the fifth prince.
This discovery made Taifu Shen sweat profusely.
"Huanshan, once this matter is over, you send someone to Wanzhou to take the heads of Zhe Yu and his wife."
Shen Huanshan was taken aback for a moment, then took the order, "Yes".
**
Bai Shaoze, who was separated by a wall, had a dream tonight. In the dream, there was a pair of hands, holding a shining knife, slashing at him.
He opened his eyes suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat with lingering fear.
He told himself that the dreams are all reversed, which is a good sign of peace. But the feeling just now was so real.
He put on his clothes and got out of bed, strolling in the yard.
Under the night, a pigeon flew to his side, he spread his palms, let the pigeon fall, and removed the creed of the pigeon's footsteps.
"My son sees the word Ping An. Father Wang has recognized Aunt Li. Since then, my son has not only a younger sister, but also multiple younger brothers. This is my son's credit."
The hand holding the note was still trembling, Bai Shaoze wiped his eyes, so Baicaoshi is really his sister, no wonder he was happy to see it, this is the power of blood.
Although it was late at night, he really wanted to share the good news with Yun An, so he went straight to Yun An's room. Unexpectedly, when turning a corner, a figure was cast in front of him, who broke into the Prince's Mansion. He immediately hid behind the pillars.
Sure enough, he saw a night walker in black walking towards his bedroom.
He can't stay here for a long time, he only took a breath to make a decision to leave Shizi Mansion and hide.
That night, Shizi's mansion was flooded, Taifu Shen's family sent capable servants to help put out the fire, but no trace of Shizi Bai was found.
**
On the 19th day of the 19th of July, the city defense army, led by Yin Heng, rushed into the palace and encountered the Imperial Forest Army on a narrow road.
The two teams fought each other, blood flowed into the palace. At that time, Taifu Shen appeared, and the two sides stopped fighting.
"I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to eliminate the evil concubine's accomplices in the palace, and the remnants of the chaos. I will try to listen to the righteousness and clear the emperor's side. Come with me."
Under the guidance of the Taifu, the two teams merged into one, fighting all the way until they reached the Changle Palace where the Queen Mother was.
Everyone stopped moving.
At this moment, Ying Zheming appeared, followed by Cui Ce, Cui Shufei and other Cui family children.
Eunuch Qin stood in front of these people, "Bold, the queen mother is still resting, what do you want to do?"
Ying Zheming sneered, "It's about the safety of the country, how can the emperor's grandmother still sleep? The grandson welcomes the queen mother and reads the imperial edict."
Eunuch Qin is still waiting to stop him. Two dead soldiers, one on each side, carried him away. "Hey, are you rebelling?"
Ying Zheming quickly pulled out a sword from the waist of a Yulin soldier, and slashed at Eunuch Qin's lower body. "Oh forgot, you already lost that thing. Keep making noise and pay attention to the head on your neck."
Everyone broke into the queen mother's palace.
The queen mother came out with her coat on and her hair scattered. "Ming'er, you are so brave, who allows you to treat Aijia like this?"
Ying Zheming sneered, and took out a decree from his sleeve, "I ask the queen mother and grandmother to read out this imperial edict from His Majesty in front of the world."
The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on the above two lines of words, "The third prince is wise and wise, has a heart for the common people, and has both civil and military skills. Now he is ordered to be the crown prince, and together with Shen Taifu to act as the temporary supervisor of the country, I respect you."
Where did the imperial edict come from? This is clearly a forgery. How could the Queen Mother not be able to tell the difference?
However, just as she was about to speak, there was already a personal nurse behind her, who put a dagger on her waist. "Queen Mother, I believe you have a good idea of how to make a choice. Now, immediately, immediately, call all the ministers, princes and princes into the palace, and read the imperial edict."
The queen mother knew that the situation was over, so she stopped entangled and passed down the oral order.
An hour later, civil and military officials were brought into the palace, and the empress dowager ordered the false edict to be read out.
The officials were stunned, and some doubted it. However, when the minister raised a question, Ying Zheming's knife fell, and the minister's blood spattered on the spot.
Ying Zheli, on the other hand, laughed loudly, "Third son, you are promising, and you can even usurp the throne. In heaven and heaven, on behalf of the descendants of the Ying family, I will eliminate you, a scum."
While speaking, a few guards around Ying Zheli held their swords and protected King Li like horns, and then a fight broke out in the hall.
King Li and King Ming, the second child versus the third child, the ultimate duel.
At the same time, the palace fell into chaos again. The army stationed outside the city captured the city gate and entered the imperial city.
A battle for the throne is fought between Ying Zheming and Ying Zheli.
