Chapter 522: A blood book
The enthronement ceremony dragged on for two months.
Everyone knows in their hearts that the emperor does not want to live apart from the queen.
However, there is still a lot of work to do. The hundred officials are afraid of picking up the day-chosen lawsuit, which will provoke the Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor to question from time to time.
On this day, the Book of Etiquette was in Chen Guogong's mansion, sipping tea, tasting tunes, his old eyes squinted, and his feet were still tapping the beat, very pleasant.
Chen Jianzhou beside him was frowning: "Old Shangshu, what kind of medicine do you think the emperor's gourd sells? Why are you not willing to hold the enthronement ceremony?"
Shang Shu of the Ministry of Etiquette glanced at Chen Jianzhou in astonishment: I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who don't know it! Good guy, such a fool who doesn't know how to save people's hearts, why should he be favored by the emperor?
When Chen Jianzhou saw the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he only looked at him, but he didn't speak, and he groaned, and finally laughed with his palms: "Ho! The emperor is really unpredictable, no one knows the heart of the king!"
Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette almost failed to spray out the fine tea in his mouth.
He solemnly nodded his head: "Little Chen Guogong said it is very true. The emperor's mind, we who are courtiers, don't dare to guess at will. Since we can't guess well, then we don't guess. These are not all those who drink tea and listen to music. The emperor has a great reward, just enjoy it."
Chen Jianzhou curled his lips: "That's the case, but I still want to help the emperor share the worries..."
The Book of Rites sighed for a long time, then rolled his eyes: It's no longer possible, the old man is suffocated. In the future, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come to Chen Guogong's mansion often to eat and drink. Looking at such a wooden person in front of my eyes, he has won the love of the emperor, and he is truly aggrieved.
Why didn't the emperor reward me with some good tea?
The Book of Etiquette is envious and jealous. When compiling the book, he can enter the palace at any time, and he often sees the emperor and the queen. Although the emperor and empress treated him well, it was far from the grace of the emperor who often enjoyed tea, the queen's snacks, and the emperor dowager's book appreciation.
It's not that the Book of Rites is greedy, but he really loves calligraphy, calligraphy and tea art.
The psychological imbalance in the Book of Rites did not last long, because a messenger brought King Rong Di's letter into the palace. The messenger was an acquaintance in the palace—the **** who was once the most favored dowry of the princess.
The **** was already in his early fifties, because the three princesses he married were from the former queen and the sister of the former prince, this **** was also self-conscious.
But now, the old eunuch's face is depressed, his clothes are covered with dust, and he is desolate and tired. There is no such thing as a big eunuch.
Sheng Yuqing couldn't remember the name of the old eunuch, but the palace man beside him screamed: "Wang Gonggong, you are..."
Wang Gonggong bowed down and bowed: "The slave escaped from the Rongdi Palace with great difficulty. The slave knocked on the emperor, rescued the nine princes, rescued the third princess, and rescued the only son of the third princess!"
Sheng Yuqing asked the palace man to help Grandpa Wang up, but Grandpa Wang refused, and slapped his head loudly: "The minion didn’t know how to cut it for a while. He also asked the emperor to look at the blood of the third princess first. Book it!"
Wang Gonggong cried so dizzy, and his forehead was full of blood, Sheng Yuqing couldn't help but jump in his heart.
The former queen and the former prince were both imprisoned in the Shu area. If they waited for nothing, the three princesses would go to the Shu area for help, but they couldn't save the palace.
The strangest thing is that the Ninth Prince, that is, the Ninth Prince Sheng Tianji who naturally came to the throne after Sheng Yuqing became the emperor, how could he be in Rongdi?
To say that the married princess asked for help because of something, who would dare to touch the great nine princes?
Rong Di, a small country, has such courage?
When Sheng Yuqing saw that Duke Wang couldn't afford it, he sent someone to submit the letter.
Sure enough, it was a letter written in blood, and once the letter was opened, there was a **** smell.
Sheng Yuqing frowned slightly, but he did not have much affection for this sister. Among the brothers and sisters who were used to bullying him at the time, the three princesses, Sheng Jingxian, were even more important...If Sheng Jingxian had not been so different from him in his age, and he had been married early, he might have been bullied for longer. After all, the third princess was too favored by the emperor at that time, and he never dared to tell anyone that he was bullied by the third princess.
Returning to reality from the memory, Sheng Yuqing frowned and read the letter.
The letter said that the old Jiusheng Tianji was a guest at Rongdi to relieve his sorrow. But he didn't want to, Luo Yun came, confused King Rong Di, and asked someone around Lao Jiu to testify that Lao Jiu's trip was to help the third princess' son Zhanbei seize the throne. What's more, maybe Lao Jiu's trip was an instruction from the emperor.
The third princess, Princess Rongdi, was framed by Luo Yun and imprisoned in the cold palace, and her only son, Zhan Bei, was also placed under house arrest. Lao Jiu was seriously injured and dying, and was imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion in Zhanbei.
The third princess said that she had been married to King Rong Di for eighteen years and had never entrusted her wealth to King Rong Di. How could she rebel! ? Lao Jiu came to Rongdi only because Rong Di and Xiyi met his nephew, Zhan Bei. Lao Jiu just came to Rong Di to relax. How could he help Zhan Bei win Rong Di's throne?
This letter from the three princesses was sent by Wang Gonggong after hardships and almost died several times.
Soon after I think about it, King Rong Di will, under Luo Yun's instruction, submit a statement of war with Dasheng, and use the old nine's intention to subvert Rong Di's power as an excuse to unite the two barbarians in the Great Blooming War.
The third princess asked Sheng Yuqing to plan early, and don't be caught off guard by Luo Yun, who already has Rong Dishi power.
The most important thing is that the third princess wrote at the end of the letter-Luo Yun was carried into the Rongdi Palace. When he came, his breath was almost gone. Rong Di's high sacrifice saved her.
This letter shocked the entire Dasheng Chaotang.
Baiguan said that the second prince may attack the capital at any time, and the two are fighting each other because of internal and external troubles, but they are afraid that the back-up will not be able to take care of the Northwest. Xiao An can fight again in peacetime, without enough supplies, it will be the same as when he encountered two barbarians...
It is certain that they cannot fight Rong Di and Liang Yi. Sheng Yuqing clearly expressed this view.
However, Sheng Yuqing threw the solution to the problem to Baiguan, letting Baiguan speak freely within three days, until he thought of solving the troubles of the three princesses, and asked King Rong Di to release the three princesses, Zhanbei, and Shengtianji.
After going down the court, Sheng Yuqing hurriedly said the matter to Luo Chunhua: "How can there be such a coincidence? Old Jiu went to Xiyi to solve the problem of Concubine Mei, but he happened to meet a nephew who had never met before. ?"
"Maybe it's due to chance. The old nine is probably distressed in his heart, so I want to relax. But it is consistent with what this letter said." Luo Chunhua said strangely: "The emperor is suspicious, is this faith true or false?"
Sheng Yuqing pondered: "It's just the first reaction. I have never been in harmony with the three princesses..."
After a pause, Sheng Yuqing said again: "However, if you think about it carefully, there is no doubt about the letter of the third princess. It is very possible for Lao Jiu to go to Rong Di to relax. Rong Di and Xi Yi are at the border. Luo Yun."
"Luo Yun is really a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff!" Sheng Yuqing was quite a headache: "Luo Yun, wherever he goes, there will be disturbances. Damn it!"
