So, when the news was announced in the court, it immediately shocked the unsuspecting ministers.
They also have no interest in investigating Wang Zhenying's role in this matter and what disputes there are in the harem.
After all, before this, they had done nothing and were not even aware of the conflicts in the harem. If they jumped out now, it would seem like they were deliberately looking for trouble.
So, facing the generous Queen Mother, the courtiers all unanimously kept their mouths shut.
What can I say?
It was also their plan to let Wang Zhenying become the Queen Mother and Sima Dezong to become the Emperor. If there were any harem disputes caused by this move, then they could be considered responsible for it.
After all, Wang Zhenying took the position of Queen Mother legitimately. She did not harm anyone, nor did she seize power and usurp the throne. The whole process was normal.
It was also necessary for Sima Dezong to become emperor.
Who let Sima Yao fail to live up to his expectations and only dote on Zhang Guiren, but Zhang Guiren himself couldn't give birth to a child?
This may be okay for a year or two, but as time goes by, the heirs will naturally wither and there will be no successors. It is lucky to have such an achievement as Sima Dezong.
It's him, it's him, it's not him, it can only be him.
The courtiers had no better choice, and for Wang Zhenying, it was impossible for her to give up the position of Queen Mother to Chen Guinu, and there was no such precedent.
If she wants to be the Queen Mother, then the little emperor will have to be raised by her, the Queen Mother. This is inevitable.
However, even this operation did not change the identities of Sima Dezong and Chen Guinv. He was still Chen's biological son.
If he really wanted to make a comeback, he would at least have to wait until the little emperor grew up a little before he had the chance. However, Chen Guinv could not wait.
The ministers also had doubts in their hearts. Could it be that Wang Zhenying was behind it and killed Chen Guinv?
However, they can't grasp the reason. If they pursue this matter with Wang Zhenying now, they will end up with the court vacant in the end.
So, if Wang Zhenying falls, who will benefit?
Then why bother asking?
Of course it’s Wang Zhiyuan!
It can only be him!
He has already become the regent, and the throne is almost a step away for him. With Wang Zhenying there, he can still have a guard.
But if Wang Zhenying is gone, Wang Zhiyuan will control the young emperor. In that case, the court will soon change hands.
This is naturally an outcome that the courtiers do not want to see.
After all, the current situation is that we can just take it one day at a time. The longer we delay, the better. Why take the initiative to advance the process?
But now, at the critical moment when this warm farewell party was coming to an end, something suddenly happened, and the officials were suddenly excited.
what happened?
Who else could disrupt the situation at this moment?
People can't figure out where the Mengshi come from and dare to do this, but there are indeed such people.
Moreover, he is an unexpected person.
"Wang Zhiyuan!"
"Don't leave yet!"
"Wait a minute, old man!"
What is this sound?
It seems very familiar, but also like I haven't heard it for a long time.
Wang Mi took a closer look, this... this turned out to be Wang Aning!
Why is he here?
Wang Gong really came, he came in a flatbed carriage.
Of course he can ride an ordinary carriage, but his legs have not fully recovered yet, so placement is a problem.
He still couldn't stand up, let alone walk, so he had to drive cars back and forth. In this way, no one discovered his identity before he was taken out of the car.
People only saw an open carriage with a slightly strange shape driving quickly on the broad avenue. The queue had already been lined up, and everyone in the entourage did not move much after they stood still. However, they saw
The carriages all moved aside in unison, as if there was some kind of tacit understanding, as if they already knew that the person sitting in this carriage would be a big shot.
And just as they expected, the person sitting in the carriage was indeed a big shot.
A very big and important figure.
When he got out of the car, Fan Ning and the others gasped.
This is……
Did you specifically choose this time to challenge yourself?
The timing is really not that good.
Wang Gong and Wang Mi had an incompatible relationship. They hated each other and wanted to kill each other. This was a consensus among the ministers.
And now, Wang Gong actually appears here openly like this. Do you think there is no problem at all?
How is that possible?
Aren't there many Beifu soldiers guarding the palace outside?
There are so many people, but no one comes to report in advance?
Besides, how could they release him at such a critical moment?
Didn’t it say that you are not allowed to go out unless ordered to do so?
Besides, his legs were injured like this. To be honest, it was impossible to hide it from the eyes of the defenders if he wanted to go out. If that was the case, how did he get out?
What happened to these Beifu soldiers?
Could it be that he stayed in the palace for a long time and accepted his money, or was deceived by him and slacked off?
The moment Wang Gong appeared, all kinds of speculations immediately emerged.
At this time, Sima Dezong, who was lying in Song Qingyin's arms, burped happily.
belch……
Why isn't it over yet?
I even peed.
Next to Wang Mi, He Wuji glanced at him and saw that he looked at ease and not nervous, so he did not step forward to take precautions.
Wang Gong, he is just a scholar, and he is still old.
Injured.
Even if he has bad intentions, what can he do?
Wang Mi wouldn't let him get close. They all rolled over from the battlefield. They couldn't even defend against this attack, so there was no need to mess around.
At this time, Wang Gong was finally carried in front of Wang Mi.
Although he was very fast before, that was because he was riding in a carriage. The carriage was held by the driver, and his speed had nothing to do with Wang Gong himself.
When it came time for Wang Gong himself to get out of the car and walk, his speed slowed down instantly. Looking at his state, even if you gave him a knife, he wouldn't be able to poke it in the right place.
Wang Mi hesitated for a moment, and finally jumped off the horse. No matter what Wang Gong wanted to do today, he should be put to death.
After all, he dared to come. This is already a major breakthrough, and he should be given this face.
Let's see if he has the guts.
Come on horseback!
It was obvious that Wang Gong had lost a lot of weight. Although he did not need to exercise much and had enough food and drink to eat and drink, he was still unhappy and became increasingly thinner.
"Aning, you don't feel well, so you don't have to come to see me off."
Who knows if he came here to see off the army, but no matter what, Wang Mi had to say this.
This is a matter of face.
It is also a question of the moral high ground.
Next, the test came to Wang Gong. From his slightly old face, Wang Mi could not see much hatred.
I haven't seen him for many days. Although news from him comes from time to time, it is not very detailed.
Wang Mi's grasp of the old man's psychological changes was still not accurate enough. Didn't he say that he would write a book when they met last time to explain how he should be free from desires?
Which show is this from?
"No, I must give you a ride."
Suddenly, without any warning, Wang Gong grabbed Wang Mi's hand, frightening Xiao Wang to the core.
Not only him, but Zeng Jing and others also held the knife, fearing that Wang Gong would jump over the wall in a hurry.
This is……
what's the situation?
Is Wang Aning crazy?
Still stupid?
It's not normal anyway.
Give me a ride?
Where do you plan to send Wang Zhiyuan?
Could it be that he was carrying a weapon with him and planned to die with him?
Wang Mi carefully glanced around and saw that although he was sitting on a large bed, his robes were also relatively loose.
However, it doesn't seem like there are any weapons hidden secretly.
According to Wang Mi's martial arts, it is impossible for any dagger or knife to hurt him. So, the only thing that can kill him quickly, without getting too close, and can attack at a certain distance, seems to be artillery.
Already.
right!
These are the early firearms used by the Beifu soldiers. So far, those simple artillery are still one of the common weapons of the Beifu soldiers.
However, it doesn't look like much.
Each of the artillery pieces is very big and bulging. If you put it under your clothes, you can definitely see it.
Although Wang Gong's robe is spacious, it can be seen that his body under the robe is still very thin.
The bed he was sitting on now was also bare and flat, and obviously there was no place to hide weapons.
Therefore, Wang Mi came to a conclusion.
Wang Aning, he is probably serious!
Could it be that he actually wanted to wish him success in the Northern Expedition?
To be honest, this is really unbelievable. Even if he is unable to resist now, according to Wang Gong's jealous personality, he would not expect Wang Mi to get better and better.
It would be merciful not to curse him with bad luck day and night.
Wang Gong didn't seem to notice the change in Wang Mi's expression at all, and still kept talking to himself: "Zhiyuan, no matter what conflicts there are between you and me, today I am here to wish you continuous victory in battles and restoration of the old capital.
It’s up to you!”
"I'm old and can't do it any more. Even if I have the heart, I don't have the strength to restore the Central Plains. I and all the officials are waiting for you here."
"You can't let us down."
Holding both hands, Wang Gong's expression and tone were extremely sincere. Wang Mi was confused by what he said. Has he... changed his gender?
Are you planning to unite with everyone in Beifu?
What were you doing earlier?
If he could have figured this out back then, it didn't have to be far away, as long as Yin Zhongkan was still alive.
Where else could there be so many disputes?
This is the fact. Wang Gong wanted to control the court. Wang Mi could not understand this feeling. After all, before Wang Mi gained power, he was already the uncle of the state. At that time, he and Sima Daozi were fighting against each other.
There is already a figure above the court who can have the final say.
And if you have the status of an uncle, such as Sima Yao, even if you don't like him, you can only rely on him.
After all, he is still a member of his family and will not betray you.
Based on this inertia, Wang Gong took it for granted that he should have the final say in this court. He seemed to have forgotten one thing. Originally, he still had an opponent.
And where are his opponents now?
oh.
In the loess.
Who got rid of Sima Daozi?
That was facilitated by Wang Zhiyuan. If Wang Zhiyuan had not risen, he might still be fighting with Sima Daozi until now!
Moreover, it is visible to the naked eye that he cannot defeat Sima Daozi. Who is Sima Daozi?
There is a conspiracy, and the conspiracy is not weak. With Wang Gong's few brushes, he is no match for him.
As a result, he now doesn't know who the benefactor is, and even tries to beat him up. These are all secondary. In fact, even if he makes peace with Wang Mi now, for the sake of the Queen Mother, it is not impossible for him to agree.
But what should Yin Zhongkan do?
If it hadn't been for this, and he had spared Wang Gong, the ministers in the court would not have said anything, and Wang Zhenying would have been even more grateful to him.
However, Yin Zhongkan's incident happened, and this incident was not instigated by Wang Mi. It was completely caused by Wang Gong's self-destruction. In this case, what do you want him to do?
He was in trouble too!
If Wang Gong was spared so easily, the ministers in the court would not agree, and it would most likely bring disaster to Wang Mi himself.
I have no choice but to take one step and watch.
"Wang Aning, what's going on?"
"Why did he come here?"
"Who knows?"
"Maybe I figured it out."
Lao Fan and Lao Yuan looked at the scene in front of them in shock. They were all stunned because of the situation that had changed so quickly.
Also because of Wang Gong's sudden change of temperament.
Obviously, this is not Wang Gong's usual style. Before, he refused to make peace with Wang Mi no matter what, and always wanted to find a way to kill him.
In the past, people always laughed at him because he was heartless and courageous. Since Yin Zhongkan died tragically, they no longer dare to say such things.
Good guy!
Wang Aning has both heart and courage, don't dare to underestimate him anymore!
Therefore, even though he was under house arrest, people still unconsciously had more expectations for him. It was impossible for Lao Wang to remain silent like this.
He will definitely find a way to fight back!
You never know when it will jump up!
If he doesn't jump now, it's just because the time is not yet ripe. Maybe when Wang Mi goes on the Northern Expedition, he should take action.
For sure!
As a result, what is the situation now?
Two old enemies are actually shaking hands to make peace?
What about them?
They are all waiting for Wang Gong to regain his strength and completely defeat Wang Mi!
"Could it be an act?"
"Just to confuse the king, I don't think he will stop until the army sets off." In this regard, it has to be said that Yuan Yuezhi is still more cautious.
Lao Fan was different. He stroked his beard and said disapprovingly: "That's not the case. You don't have to worry too much. After all, Aning is an honest man. Now that we have reconciled, he will not scheme against the king again."
"Besides, he doesn't have this ability now."
Yuan Yuezhi shook his head lightly and disagreed.
When the army sets off, it is still necessary to go to the palace to remind the soldiers guarding to be more vigilant.
As a subordinate, you still need to be alert. The most important thing is that you cannot wait until your boss worries about everything before you start paying attention.
Trust must be accumulated in normal times. In this way, when Wang Mi comes back and sees how hard he and Lao Yuan work, he will naturally put him to good use.
Tsk tsk...
Sure enough, his brain was very useful and he found a good job for himself.
