Eight hundred and fifty seventh chapter follow-up (three)
This is the time to call for punishment!
Sheng Hong understood clearly in his heart, and without revealing anything on his face, he said with a smile: "Pass on my oral instructions, I will arrive at Jiaofang Hall in a few moments."
Half an hour later, Jiao Fang Hall.
After Sheng Hong bowed his hands and saluted, he asked with concern: "My mother has been recovering from illness for a few days. Will her health improve?"
Queen Mother Yu raised her lips coldly, her eyes full of sarcasm: "Your Majesty is so filial, the Ai family don't need to worry at all, they are already in good health."
If things don't "get better", the world inside and outside the palace will completely become the empire of the emperor and empress.
First, they suppressed the Yu family, and now, the emperor has extended his hand into the clan's mansion. This is to cut off her minions step by step and completely eliminate her!
What a filial son!
Sheng Hong seemed not to have heard the deep sarcasm in Queen Mother Yu's words, and responded with a smile: "My mother is in good health, and I am completely relieved."
Without waiting for Empress Dowager Yu to attack, she took the initiative and said: "The position of Zongzheng in the Zongren Mansion has been held concurrently by King Linjiang before. King Linjiang commanded 50,000 divine guards, and it is unreasonable to hold the position of Zongzheng concurrently. I ordered the clan, princes, and princes
They elected a new Zongzheng, and they elected the Prince of Fenyang."
Empress Dowager Yu stared at Sheng Hong, her voice stern: "There are many talented people among the royal family, princes, and princes. King Jingjiang is in his prime, has outstanding talents, virtues, and loyalty, so he is the best candidate. Prince Fenyang is born**
I have been wandering around all day long, and have never done anything serious since I was young. How can I assume the position of Zongzheng?"
"Once word of this gets out, won't it be a joke to all the civil and military officials and the people in the capital?"
"The Zongren Mansion has set an example for the Daqi clan. Once this example is established, the Daqi clan will follow suit in selecting clan leaders in the future. Wouldn't it be completely chaotic?"
"The emperor wants to appoint a close confidant and place people there, so he should find a decent person. This Fenyang County Prince is not worthy of being Zongzheng at all!"
Facing the furious Empress Dowager Yu, Sheng Hong showed the respect and filial piety of a concubine. He first poured the tea himself and diligently delivered it to Empress Dowager Yu: "Mother, please take a sip of tea to calm down, and listen to what I have to say."
Queen Mother Yu did not move and sneered: "The Ai family doesn't want to drink tea, so don't bother, Your Majesty."
Empress Dowager Yu didn't appreciate it, and Sheng Hong wasn't angry either. Instead, she brought the tea to her mouth and took a slow sip. She put the tea cup on the coffee table at hand and explained in a leisurely manner: "The Empress has misunderstood. My son.
I did not intervene in this matter, and only asked the clan members to recommend Zong Zheng. They chose Fenyang County Prince, and I was a little surprised."
What a surprise!
Empress Dowager Yu smiled instead of being angry: "Sure enough, there is a layer of separation. I guess the emperor will not be able to hear what the Ai family said."
At this time, there were at least more than ten palace maids and chambermaids standing by. Everything Empress Dowager Yu said would be spread out of Jiaofang Palace in the shortest possible time.
Sheng Hong would never bear the label of being unfilial: "My sons have always respected my mother very much. Why did my mother say this?"
Empress Dowager Yu was aggressive: "If you respect the Ai family, then listen to the Ai family. The king of Fenyang County must not hold the position of Zongzheng. Let King Jingjiang be the Zongzheng."
Before Sheng Hong could refute, Empress Dowager Yu said with a cold face: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. The Ai family never interferes in the appointment or dismissal of court officials. However, the Zongren Mansion is the Tianjia clan, and the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion is
The head of the Sheng family, the Ai family cannot just sit back and do nothing about this matter."
"Sheng Hong, the Aijia ordered you to choose someone to take over the position of Zongzheng!"
…
As soon as the word "Sheng Hong" was spoken, the illusion of "a loving mother and a filial son" was completely torn apart.
Empress Dowager Yu has a cold face and a cold and stern voice. She is arbitrary and does not allow anyone to refuse.
When Emperor Jian'an was the emperor, he repeatedly succumbed to such Empress Dowager Yu, bowing his head and giving in step by step. Until he was pushed into the whirlpool by Empress Dowager Yu herself, was assassinated and died, and breathed his last breath.
No wonder Queen Mother Yu was so anxious and angry.
The position of Zongzheng in the Zongren Mansion is indeed very important. When King Huainan was still alive and in charge of the Zongren Mansion, King Linjiang, who was in charge of 50,000 divine guards, had to bow down before King Huainan.
King Hejian served as a puppet for two years and was later assassinated. With the support of Queen Mother Yu, King Linjiang concurrently served as Zongzheng of the clan. Having tasted the wonderful feeling of having the power to do whatever you wanted, how could Queen Mother Yu be willing to be forced to retreat?
Sheng Hong sneered in his heart, with a helpless smile on his face: "The queen is joking. The position of Zongzheng in the clan is so important, how can it be changed overnight. My son has already stated that he will not interfere in the affairs of the clan, and now he changes his words. It is the emperor's responsibility.
Where should I put my dignity and decency?”
"The Queen Mother loves her son the most. How could she bear to put her son in such an embarrassing situation?"
Despite the storms surrounding Queen Mother Yu, Sheng Hong remained gentle and patient.
He can be called a model of filial piety.
Queen Mother Yu looked at Sheng Hong steadily, her voice full of chill: "The Emperor really doesn't want to change the candidate?"
Sheng Hong responded seriously: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."
Empress Dowager Yu suddenly laughed, and her voice softened a lot: "Your Majesty does this for your own reasons. When the Ai family is old, they just need to enjoy happiness every day. The Ai family won't worry about these things."
How could Queen Mother Yu give up so easily?
There must be a backup plan!
Sheng Hong smiled calmly and said, "That's what the Queen Mother said."
…
That night, the king of Fenyang County was assassinated.
The Prince of Fenyang County had just won the position of Zongzheng in the clan mansion. He was so excited and happy that he had to hold a banquet in the mansion to entertain the clan members who voted for him.
Everyone tacitly understood that from then on, they all stood on the side of the emperor. Empress Dowager Yu was ruthless, and King Linjiang held military power and secretly raised many dead soldiers.
With the tragic death of the King of Hejian in the past, they have to be more careful.
The Prince of Fenyang County was also unlucky, he just drank a few glasses of wine, and when he saw the enchanting dancer dancing gracefully, he became lustful, so he hugged the dancer over and touched her little hands.
Unexpectedly, before her little hands could touch her, the dancing girl in her arms would turn into a life-threatening Rakshasa. A sharp dagger filled with poison and glowing blue appeared from her sleeve, stabbing the chest of Prince Fenyang.
In the midst of lightning and flint, two guards appeared behind Prince Fenyang. One of them drew his sword to block the dagger, and the other drew his sword to kill the dancing girl.
After a wonderful banquet, blood splattered in an instant, and the beautiful assassin became a dead soul under the sword.
The princes and princes had never seen such a bloody scene before. Two of them were so frightened that they fainted and three of them vomited. The banquet could no longer go on and everyone returned home one after another.
The prince of Fenyang County looked pale.
Those two highly skilled guards were given to him by the emperor. He also wore a piece of soft gold silk armor close to his body, which was also rewarded by the emperor. The fatal dagger left a deep mark on the soft armor.
's imprint.
The princess of Fenyang County cried and said: "Prince, no matter how good the position of Zongzheng is, you still have to have a destiny. Before you take office, there are assassins. What should I do in the future?"
"The prince will go to the palace tomorrow to see the emperor and resign from the position of Zongzheng!"
