Chapter 43 The old man is in the middle
"The fourth prince, Lu Shang, is unfaithful and unfilial, and will never leave the palace for the rest of his life! I admire this!"
"From now on, the eldest prince Lu Ming will act as the official in charge of the government. I accept this!"
The sentences of the two imperial edicts are very simple and concise, but the profound meaning and the future direction of Dajing are all contained in these measured words!
Feng Xianfu's eyes were turning rapidly, and the hands of power were changing. As an old man in the palace, he had long been accustomed to it.
But the situation has been changing rapidly recently. The fourth king, Xuan Wang, who was in control of the imperial seal, was reduced to a useless person overnight, while the eldest brother, Mian Wang, who was originally imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy, resolved the crisis with an edict. Not only that
, still holding great power, he will become the most popular person in the entire Jingguo in the blink of an eye!
At this moment, Jiang Chengzi rushed over with a hurried expression and a confused look on his face.
Feng Xianfu had never seen Commander-in-Chief Jiang lose his temper like this before, and secretly sighed in his heart, "No! Something big must have happened! And it's a very urgent matter!"
Jiang Chengzi fell to his knees on the ground, and a sound as loud as a bell sounded like a death knell in Emperor Jing's ears:
"Your Majesty! It's not good! The frontline military intelligence is reporting! Yanzhou City has fallen! Jianwei General Zhao Songda and the Yanzhou City army were completely wiped out! In addition, there are, there are..."
Emperor Jing staggered a step and almost fainted to the ground. He held his hands firmly on the stone table in front of him. His voice sounded a little trembling, whether because of anger or fear, and he asked:
"what else!"
"Prince Crown Princess Mo Feige, following the empress's decree and the order of His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, led a large army to Yanzhou City for reinforcements. They encountered an army of 200,000 people from the north on the bank of the Xijiang River, and all of them were killed!"
Jiang Chengzi's voice seemed to be choked with sobs. He lowered his head and cupped his fists before reporting back.
"Also, His Highness Prince Kang is missing!"
Jiang Chengzi pondered for a moment and continued.
Emperor Jing's hands, which were supporting the stone table, were shaking uncontrollably!
An'er is missing? In this situation, the war situation is probably very doomed!
Emperor Jing covered his chest in pain with one hand and shouted angrily:
"An'er! Why is An'er in Yanzhou City! Shouldn't he be staying in the fiefdom of Xunzhou?"
Yanzhou and Xunzhou are worlds apart. Lao San Luan was frail and sickly since he was a child. He is also disabled and unable to walk. How could he suddenly go to the Yanzhou front line in the north at this time!
I guess it must have been the good son of the fourth child who did it again!
"Your Majesty, after you fainted in Qionghua Palace, the Empress and His Royal Highness King Xuan sent His Royal Highness Prince Kang to Yanzhou City in a blink of an eye. They called him Prince Kang and encouraged the troops. The morale on the front line will definitely increase! Alas, His Highness Prince Kang still has
What a miserable life! I lost my mother at such a young age, and now, now..."
Feng Xianfu had tears in his eyes and looked sad.
A few words, but every sentence struck a vital chord in Emperor Jing's heart!
Emperor Jing was indeed very angry.
Ren, slapped his big palm on the stone table, and the heel of his palm became red and numb, as if blood would ooze out immediately:
"How unreasonable! How unreasonable is this fourth old man! Feng Xianfu, change the imperial edict for me! The fourth prince Lu Shang is unfaithful, unfilial, disrespectful, unkind and unjust! Take away his title of prince and demote him to a commoner!"
"Hey! I obey your order!"
Feng Xianfu responded.
"Also! The Zhao family in the middle palace and Si Chen, the hen, interfered in the government affairs and eliminated dissidents. Considering that his brother Zhao Songda has died for the country, his title of queen will not be revoked for the time being. He will be banned from Yikun Palace from now on. Without my decree,
Don’t leave even half a step outside Yikun Palace!”
In anger, Emperor Jing originally wanted to throw Empress Zhao into the cold palace as well, but thinking of the battle report just now, he calmed down a little and let her go.
"Jiang Chengzi! You are a top expert. My palace is very safe. You don't have to guard it here! Now, get out of the palace for me! Go and find my An'er for me! I want to be alive.
See people! See corpses if you die!"
Emperor Jing's sharp eyes swept across Jiang Chengzi's resolute face, and he said solemnly.
"Wei Chen obeys the order! However, Yanzhou City has fallen. As a result, it is only a matter of time before the enemy takes Qingzhou and points directly at Beijing! Wei Chen originally thought that Your Majesty would send me to the front line to kill the enemy! This..."
It was rare that Jiang Chengzi did not obey the advice, but politely expressed his rejection.
"You don't have to worry about this! I already have a candidate in mind!"
