Chapter 493: Palace Fighting Is Better To Rebel (Thirty)
As expected, Meng Qin lives up to his name. He is like a "raptor" raised by Emperor Yongcheng. After entering Nanzhou, he behaves in one word - fierce!
He dares to fight to the end against wealthy families;
He dared to be fair and strict with the two great princes, King Nan and King Nanping;
He even made no concessions to those barbarian leaders.
... Within a few days of arriving in Nanzhou, news spread frequently.
In the eyes of Emperor Yongcheng, Meng Qin was a fighter and warrior who was not afraid of power or danger.
But in the eyes of local powerful people and officials in the capital, this guy is just a scumbag and a mindless troublemaker!
"Alas, Nanzhou is in danger with such a villain disrupting the situation!"
Some knowledgeable courtiers in the court were secretly worried.
Feng Shouyou was not optimistic about Meng Qin, thinking that this guy would bring big trouble to Emperor Yongcheng.
He instinctively wanted to remonstrate, but when he thought of Emperor Yongcheng's mean and unkind appearance, he secretly shook his head.
Forget it, let’s not waste any more time.
He would certainly not be able to persuade him. It would only make Emperor Yongcheng reject him as a gentleman even more.
At most, he ordered more people to keep an eye on Nanzhou and try not to let Meng Qin get too "presumptuous".
The changes in Nanzhou only caused a small disturbance in Beijing, and were quickly forgotten by everyone.
For one thing, Nanzhou is too far away, and Meng Qin is just a small person.
Everyone thinks about it, even if he can do more trouble, he won't cause too much trouble.
Secondly, Queen Mother He's holy life is coming soon.
He Tiantian:……o(╯□╰)o
It sounds like she is very old, but in fact, Queen Mother He is only thirty-eight years old this year.
In future generations, she will still be at an age where she can call herself a young lady.
However, in the evil ancient times, it seems that he is already a person of his grandmother's generation.
It stands to reason that this year is not the Empress Dowager's birthday, so there is no need to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this.
However, this year is the Empress Dowager He's first birthday after returning power to the emperor.
Neither Emperor Yongcheng nor the courtiers wanted Queen Mother He to feel empty in her heart or be treated lightly because of a holy birthday.
Emperor Yongcheng wanted to show that he was a pure and filial son, while the courtiers hoped that Queen Mother He would pay more attention to the harem and her own enjoyment, instead of reaching out to the court at every turn.
Ever since, everyone has the same ambition to make this year's holy birthday a special one.
Especially Emperor Yongcheng, in addition to wanting to be known as a filial son, he has been a bit "proud in the spring breeze" recently.
When the Salt Administration Department was first established, Emperor Yongcheng felt a little uncomfortable.
However, after the new Yamen was officially put into operation, it brought huge benefits to the national treasury.
With money, Emperor Yongcheng had the confidence.
Those military heroes and the generals who led the troops also praised and complimented Emperor Yongcheng who was very happy to allocate military pay.
Even Tao Yong, his real father-in-law, who didn't have a good look on him, started to become more pleasant.
Emperor Yongcheng: ...Humph, although these Qiu Ba are a little vulgar and philistine, they are all straight people. Compared with those old foxes of Wang Yuan, they are actually much cuter!
The salt policy reform was successful. The courtiers may know the inside story (the real hero is the Queen Mother He), but the common people do not.
The common people ate cheaper "official salt", and what they said in their mouths was "Your Majesty is wise" instead of "The Queen Mother is wise".
After hearing the Zheng family's father and son's extremely exaggerated expressions of the awe and praise of the people in the capital, Emperor Yongcheng finally realized what it felt like to be a beloved Mingjun.
In addition, although there are always some twists and turns regarding the official examination, Emperor Yongcheng has successfully placed himself among his confidants.
Not to mention others, just Meng Qin gave Emperor Yongcheng a surprise.
"Qing Meng has indeed lived up to my high expectations. He opened up the situation in Nanzhou with just one person!"
With the 800-mile urgent secret package received every ten days and a half, Emperor Yongcheng clearly knew what was happening in southern Xinjiang thousands of miles away.
He immediately felt a sense of satisfaction that "I have everything under my control."
He Tiantian & Wang Yuan and other big guys: ...This innocent and silly child, when Meng Qin causes trouble, he will know the cruelty of reality!
"Tiantian, don't rush to sympathize with Emperor Yongcheng. Zheng Nian'er and the Hu family are planning a big thing!"
Little D’s classmate came out secretly and said quietly: "Are you really not curious about what they are doing?"
Little D’s classmate was really suffocated.
He can monitor everything in Beijing 24 hours a day and 360 degrees.
The calculations of Zheng Nian'er and his daughter, as well as the various petty actions of the Hu family and the Zheng family, cannot escape its "God's perspective".
However, He Tiantian didn't give it a chance to "show off" at all.
It is like an all-purpose paparazzi that has photographed many famous celebrities. It has clearly told the public: Ask me, I have all the dirty stuff about top and big stars!
As a result, neither the fans nor the public cared about it!
This kind of frustration, this kind of embarrassment of wanting to share gossip but no one cares about it, really made little D’s classmate go crazy!
"Not curious!"
He Tiantian replied lightly.
He Tiantian really likes to take shortcuts when they exist.
Because there is no need to torment yourself too much.
However, after encountering the wild system this time, He Tiantian was suddenly awakened.
She cannot rely too much on the system. She must maintain the minimum ability to analyze things and respond to emergencies.
Relying too much on "monitoring" will cause her to lose her instinct of analysis and reasoning, and will also cause her to lose her basic vigilance.
Furthermore, for a theatergoer, it is actually quite boring to always be "spoiled".
Classmate Little D:...Watch, watch a show?
He is indeed the arrogant "villain in his own right"!
The heroine is fighting diligently in the palace, but you don't want to accept the challenge well, but you actually treat her as an "actor".
"Tiantian, aren't you afraid that they will really cause big trouble?" Little D, unwilling to give up, asked again.
"Don't be afraid! The soldiers will stop you, and the water will cover you!"
He Tiantian had made so many arrangements secretly, and if Mrs. Hu and others could still be caught off guard, then she, the "Queen Mother," would not be fooled.
Don't bother with palace fights or anything like that, just lie down and admit defeat!
Little D felt He Tiantian's confidence and arrogance. He really didn't know whether to lament that he couldn't show off in front of Tiantian or to praise his little friend's "mischief".
As everyone knows, his powerful little friend said "not afraid", but in fact he made many arrangements secretly.
He Tiantian: ...Well, she really doesn't want to rely on the system all the time and be spoiled all the time, but she already knows the "danger" and yet she doesn't make any preparations. Isn't she a fool?
The original owner left so many secret guards behind, but after He Tiantian came here, he worked even harder to manage this force.
The scope of spying on radiation has already expanded from central Beijing to more than ten nearby counties.
He Tiantian cannot be said to know certain places and secrets very well, but she is deep in the palace and is by no means blind or deaf!
…
"Your Majesty, everything in the court is going very smoothly, why don't you still look unhappy?"
This day is approaching the official birthday of the Queen Mother.
Zheng Nian'er looked at the right opportunity and finally caught Emperor Yongcheng coming back from the political hall angrily.
She pretended to be a considerate interpreter and comforted the emperor in a gentle voice.
"Aren't they those old men? Because they are veterans and can control the government, they will treat me without pretense!"
Emperor Yongcheng did have a good life during this period, but he was only able to carry out his own political decrees.
He is far from reaching the state of "one word".
"They are either taking advantage of the ancestral rules, or they are using the Queen Mother to suppress me!"
"The Queen Mother! The Queen Mother! She has already quit the previous dynasty, why is she still so lingering?"
Emperor Yongcheng was angered again this time. First he called himself me, and then he called himself me.
As he talked, he didn't care.
Of course, it is also possible that he is too reassured about Zheng Nian'er, his childhood sweetheart and true lover.
In front of her, he can always show his true self.
But the most real thought in his heart was that he was dissatisfied and opposed to "Queen Mother He" as his biological mother.
Not to mention anything else, as the only son, using the word "haunting" to describe his own mother is enough to show his attitude towards the Queen Mother He!
Zheng Nian'er's eyes flickered.
She knew that even if the Queen Mother quickly pushed out of the court, she and Emperor Yongcheng would not be able to achieve true motherly kindness and filial piety.
Even if the Queen Mother He is not greedy for power, the people under her and some courtiers with ulterior motives will use the Queen Mother He as a banner to suppress and restrain Emperor Yongcheng.
As for Emperor Yongcheng, he was a sensitive and rebellious young emperor.
He has no basic affection for Queen Mother He, and he is extremely eager to get rid of the shadow of his strong mother.
This is no longer a matter of Tai He retreating or not giving in.
Unless Empress Dowager He dies or can no longer pose a threat to Emperor Yongcheng, mother and son will never be able to reconcile.
"Well, if the Queen Mother was not His Majesty's biological mother, perhaps His Majesty would not always be suppressed by the word 'filial piety'!"
Deliberately pretending to be unconscious, Zheng Nian'er muttered softly.
"What? Nian'er, what did you say?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Zheng Nian'er's murmur shocked Emperor Yongcheng's heart.
"...I, I didn't say anything!"
Zheng Nian'er deliberately pretended to be scared.
She looked at Emperor Yongcheng timidly. Suddenly, she seemed to have made up her mind. She came closer and said mysteriously: "Erlang, let me tell you a story."
tell a story?
What's the meaning?
Emperor Yongcheng didn't know what kind of medicine his Xiaoqingmei gourd was selling.
However, when he heard a folk tale called "Dragon Robe" from Zheng Nian'er, his eyes were filled with doubts, and his heart seemed to have stirred up a storm.
His face was clouded, and he was circling in the hall unconsciously like a donkey.
Occasionally, he looked at Zheng Nian'er with eyes that were deep and full of exploration.
Zheng Nian'er was a little embarrassed by the sight, and she even regretted whether she was too rash.
But, the task waits for no one.
In order to urge her to complete the task quickly, the dogecoin system actually gave her a "experience" of the feeling of being struck by lightning!
A burst of electricity instantly penetrated the top of his head, and the depths of his soul seemed to have been severely damaged.
Wow, the feeling of being struck by lightning is really uncomfortable.
For a moment, Zheng Nian'er almost thought that she was going to lose her soul!
This is actually just the most basic "experience" version.
The Dogecoin system said that if it were a real lightning strike, it would be even more painful and desperate!
Zheng Nian'er was scared, she was really scared.
In order to complete the task, she gave up her three views and her own persistence, and she would use any means.
I know that my plan is ridiculous and a bit suicidal, but what if it succeeds?
After all, Emperor Yongcheng was not a pure and filial emperor, but he was an emperor, and he was protected by dragon energy.
Even if you do something ridiculous, you won't end up in a miserable failure.
As long as the emperor does not fall, nothing will happen to her, Zheng Nian'er, and the entire Zheng family.
Maybe, this can really bring down Queen Mother He!
Zheng Nian'er was completely shocked by the Gongdou system. Even if there was only one percent chance of success, she would still try desperately.
Just when Zheng Nian'er thought that Emperor Yongcheng was going to have a seizure and that he might be reprimanded and questioned, Emperor Yongcheng suddenly stopped.
Zheng Nian'er's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and she carefully watched Emperor Yongcheng's reaction.
"...Come here! Pass Mrs. Hu!"
Emperor Yongcheng didn't say anything to Zheng Nian'er, but called the young eunuch.
call!
Zheng Nian'er breathed out secretly.
When she heard Emperor Yongcheng's "Mrs. Hu", she knew: This time, it's stable!
Regardless of whether Emperor Yongcheng believed the folk tale she told, he was somewhat moved.
Otherwise, he would not summon Hu into the palace.
Perhaps mother and daughter were connected, and perhaps they knew Emperor Yongcheng too well.
The moment Hu, who was summoned into the palace, saw Emperor Yongcheng, the big stone hanging in her heart fell steadily.
Hearing Emperor Yongcheng's deep inquiry, Mrs. Hu pretended to be panicked.
She even deliberately used the eye knife to target Zheng Nian'er secretly.
"Nanny, don't blame Nian'er. Nian'er was just unhappy to see me and deliberately told me a story to relieve my boredom!"
Hu's obvious little move naturally could not escape the eyes of Emperor Yongcheng.
Emperor Yongcheng saw that Hu "blamed" his own little green plum, and quickly helped to explain.
Mrs. Hu pretended to be scared and anxious, and she said eagerly, "Erlang, this matter is of great concern. How can Nian'er talk nonsense?"
"Nanny, you are an old man in the palace and have watched me grow up. There are some things that you should know in your heart: Are Nian'er talking nonsense?"
Emperor Yongcheng looked at Mrs. Hu intently.
His mood at this time was very complicated, and he didn't know what he was expecting.
If Mr. Hu confirms that the little story told by Zheng Nian'er is true, then he can indeed get rid of the shadow of Queen Mother He.
But his status will also become less noble.
Of course, now that he is the emperor and has already taken charge of the government, even if he is a concubine, he cannot be pulled down from the throne.
Besides, if you pull him down, who will come up in his place?
Could it be the King of Liang?
Haha, to put it bluntly, the courtiers may not agree, but Queen Mother He——
To allow the son of her love rival to become emperor, Queen Mother He would only agree if she was crazy or dead.
Instead of watching her enemy's mother and son become triumphant, Empress Dowager He would rather let Emperor Yongcheng continue to sit on the dragon throne.
Even though Emperor Yongcheng might not be her biological son!
