"I didn't expect that this matter would have such twists and turns."
The Crown Princess held her forehead and shook her head, but the smile on her face did not diminish. At first glance, she thought she was calm and calm, with no expression of joy or anger. However, after thinking deeply about it, she felt that her beautiful smile made people feel chilled.
, she never seemed to take her children to heart.
However, not to mention the strange behavior of the Crown Princess at this moment, others present felt that they suddenly realized that if Lu Hanjiang was the real grandson, then all the unreasonable things would be explained.
At that time, he was just an abandoned son of the Lu family, but he was able to rise all the way up in just a few years, from an unknown soldier to a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, and then under the protection of Meng Yuan, he continued to rise even further, directly to the position of the governor.
seat.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Yuan disappeared inexplicably, and Lu Hanjiang, who was still in the position of governor, immediately ascended to the throne and became the new commander, deeply favored by the emperor.
What was even more outrageous later was that Lu Hanjiang, who had been exterminated, was welcomed back into the Lu family. The academy, which had always been at odds with Jin Yiwei, also changed its attitude. Qi Yunzhou became a frequent visitor to the Lu family, and Old Master Luo directly accepted him as a disciple.
At first, everyone thought this move was really crazy. Almost half of the civil servants and generals in the DPRK were attached to the Jin Yiwei, and Lu Hanjiang, the commander, became a top official who was truly inferior to one person and surpassed ten thousand people.
No matter who comes to power in the future, I am afraid that such a person will not be able to trust him. In the eyes of many people at the beginning, Jin Yiwei's situation was like a burning fire, and it was more likely to be a flash in the pan. Therefore, after Lu Hanjiang was destroyed, many people were worried
He took the opportunity to complete the cut with Jin Yiwei to avoid being settled by his wife in the future.
But after all, it was Meng Yuan who was superior. The reason why he dared to violate taboos like this, and the reason why he dared to leave such a large force to the other side without worrying about being tabooed by the next emperor, was that the ownership of the throne had already been calculated by him.
.
If it was to help the grandson ascend the throne, then no matter how much power he accumulated, it would have no impact, because all these things were finally handed over to Lu Hanjiang by Meng Yuan.
At this moment, all the officials gathered outside Zixiao Palace heard the old prince's personal admission. With the clan leader's words, the grandson's identity was confirmed.
In the crowd, Yang Shilang felt as if he was stunned by this sudden surprise. His dandy son was actually able to hug His Highness the Grand Sun's lap. This was like smoke rising from his ancestral grave.
No, it is no longer appropriate to call him His Highness Grandson at this time.
Yang Shilang took a deep breath, strode out, then knelt down with a plop, held up the wat board in his hand and bowed in salute, shouting loudly: "I have this memorial! Since Yao and Shun, the destiny of heaven cannot be ignored, and the world cannot be left without a master.
, Now His Highness Taisun has spread his virtues in all directions, benevolent to all things, please consider the overall situation, comply with the people of heaven and earth, inherit the destiny, and take the throne of the emperor!"
One stone stirred up a thousand ripples, but now that the laws of heaven and the strong and weak forces were all clear, many people followed closely and began to kneel down and persuade them to move forward.
It's just that everyone in the court knew what kind of virtue Lu Hanjiang was. They were disdainful of Yang Shilang telling lies with his eyes open like this. Even Master Luo, who had become Lu Hanjiang's teacher and now wanted to be the emperor's teacher, was full of contempt.
Although they took the overall situation into consideration and persuaded the grandson to step forward and preside over the overall situation in an orthodox capacity, they never mentioned any virtues and righteousness. Even if this guy became the emperor in the future, they would not be polite if he should be scolded.
If they were to be as shameless as Minister Yang, they would be thinking too much.
But in the face of the flood of calls, Lu Hanjiang didn't seem to be too surprised. This calm behavior made many veterans nod secretly.
Regardless of how this kid was a profligate back then, he still held a high position of authority. When he was commanding the Imperial Guards, he was indeed a talented person in terms of ability alone, regardless of his moral character.
So if the other party becomes the emperor, at least the court will not be disbanded at once, and it is obvious to all that this person is cruel to the family, which is in line with the expectations of the courtiers.
The core goal of the court team established by the old emperor at that time was based on the disciples of Master Luo and Meng Yuan, Wen Kongheng and others. Its core goal was to suppress the aristocratic family and regain the power that had been dispersed.
The old emperor insisted on cultivating immortality. This mess had been left for so many years, and finally the remaining aristocratic family was revived. Many ministers were heartbroken and unwilling to accept it.
Now that this person has come to power, at least one thing is guaranteed, that is, they can finally take serious action against the family, and there seems to be no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties. Such an emperor who was full of malice towards the family before he came to the throne, even if it is for his own sake
Guaranteed, the aristocratic family cannot continue to remain silent.
"His Royal Highness Taisun, please take charge of the overall situation!"
Seeing that Lu Hanjiang didn't respond, Yang Shilang led everyone to persuade him to come in again, and this time the other party finally stopped being silent.
"I would like to discuss something with His Highness. Could you please make it easier?" Lu Hanjiang said.
Although they didn't understand what the other party was thinking, everyone knew that this matter could not be rushed, so they all backed down, leaving only Meng Yuan and others behind.
"What Commander Wen just said -"
Lu Hanjiang did not show any attitude towards the change of status, but instead brought up this issue, which really made everyone confused.
He looked at the Crown Princess and asked: "The Commander-in-Chief said that this is a plot of the East Palace, your Highness, would you like to explain?"
The Crown Princess smiled heartily: "Although I have many debts, it is not appropriate to pour all kinds of dirty water on me. Also, His Highness the Grandson should call me Mother Concubine."
Lu Hanjiang chuckled. He didn't take the other party's playful words to heart. He just listened to him and said: "Since the commander-in-chief dares to say this, it must not be without purpose, right?"
Wen Kongheng raised his head and glanced at Lu Hanjiang, and then said in a deep voice: "It is true, my commander... I have a low-level witness. This person sneaked into the Zixiao Palace under the guise of a maid from the East Palace. He was discovered by the Imperial Army and has now been
Detained."

She came out of the Lu Mansion and was sent to the Imperial Concubine's Palace by our Grandson to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess, and then how she became a slave in this palace, I have to ask Mr. Lu."
Wen Kongheng was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Lu Hanjiang nod his head and said: "That's true. This person did indeed take the route of the Lu family before entering the palace. This is something I didn't notice, but -"
Lu Hanjiang smiled and said: "This person must be from the East Palace. What Commander Wen said is true."
"How to prove it, just rely on His Highness the Grand Sun's words?" The Crown Princess raised her eyebrows and smiled as brightly as a flower.
Lu Hanjiang just returned the look with a flat look and did not answer, while Wen Kongheng said: "It's not just one-sided words, the appearance of that maid and His Highness the Crown Princess are very similar."
"Eh?" It was the Crown Princess's turn to be stunned. She remembered that when the demons came to Jiangnan, the Huangfu family was expelled from the Jianghu overnight, but the child was poisoned before that night, and after that night
, her body is also missing.
"...Hee~" After the Crown Princess figured it out, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. She covered her mouth with one hand and her belly with the other. The joy that she couldn't hide made her bend over with laughter: "Haha.
.....It turns out that this is actually the backup plan you left behind. How childish and nonsense..."
Under the confused gazes of everyone, the Crown Princess laughed so hard that tears came out. She said: "Oh my, you are such a naughty child. I didn't expect this, but...
It is indeed a very interesting move, I haven’t been this happy for a long time.”
After laughing, the Crown Princess raised her face slightly, her smart eyes full of ridicule and teasing: "I just didn't expect that His Highness the Grand Sun would be so naive as to think that she could be used to force me to submit? To be honest
Yes, now that you still believe that there is such a boring thing as human nature in me, you are really cute."
"If you don't try it yourself, how will you know if it exists?" The depth in Lu Hanjiang's eyes almost did not reflect the shadow of others, making people shudder like a mist.
"And now it seems that His Highness may not be able to turn a blind eye, otherwise he would not be saying these words to me here." Lu Hanjiang said with a smile.
The Crown Princess's smile faded a little, and she gently tucked the hair on the side of her face behind her ears, and then said softly: "That's all, since His Majesty the Grand Sun is willing, let's continue playing... It's just a pity, if
If you had teased me with this matter a few days earlier, maybe I could have asked you to make preparations earlier, which would be better than the hustle and bustle now."
The Crown Princess was confused, but Meng Yuan suddenly felt a little uneasy. He said in a deep voice: "If Your Highness thinks that those people in the North can be used, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
The Crown Princess glanced at him and said calmly: "Indeed, all the people I sent to the North were intercepted by Lord Meng, more than once. In the past half month, I have not been able to send a letter to him.
In the North, Jinyiwei's dragnet is indeed extraordinary."
Although he said the words of agreement, there was a bit of ridicule in the other person's mouth, which made Meng Yuan even more uneasy: "You sent the messenger last night not to report the news to the North, but to divert the tiger away from the mountain so that
You slaughtered all the princes in the main courtyard of the great sect."
"It's a pity that the prince escaped with his life, and today's trivial matters are added," the princess sighed regretfully, and then said something that made Meng Yuan's hair stand on end: "Since I know that sending people to the north to report news is a fool's dream, what about Master Meng?
Are you sure that the messengers before were not trying to cover up their secrets?"
Meng Yuan now fully understood that he had fallen into a trap. He had fallen into the trap of the Crown Princess since he intercepted the first letter sent to the North.
At this moment, as if to confirm what the other party said, three imperial guardsmen rushed in front of them with an anxious soldier on their face.
"What happened?" Meng Yuan saw that he was dusty and dressed in military uniform, and immediately asked: "But something happened in the North?"
"No - no!" The man took a breath, and then said urgently: "It's Jiangnan! The King of Wu in Jiangnan raised the flag of rebellion in the name of 'Qing Jun Side', criticizing the imperial court for confusing the royal bloodline, using falsehoods to confuse the real ones, and plotting to seize the throne.
The throne calls on all the kings in the world to join forces to resist! Now the spark has turned into a prairie fire. King Run and King Qu who are also in the south of the Yangtze River have already responded. Sir, the situation is critical!"
