Red Mansions: The Sky-shaking Fall Chapter 1635 Please also ask the Queen Mother to abdicate the throne with the young emperor and return the power to the Chen family!
Chapter 1635 Please also ask the Queen Mother to abdicate the throne with the young emperor and return the power to the Chen family!
palace gate, anshun gate
Jia Fang was dressed in black iron armor and a fiery red cloak. He stood in front of the city gate tower. He held a bright steel sword with wild goose feathers and looked around, looking at the general below.
"The Queen Mother is here."
At this moment, a junior high school student came over in a hurry and spoke to Jia Fang, who was standing on the city gate tower.
Hearing this, Jia Fang handed over the guarding duties to the deputy general and hurried to the horse path. He cupped his fists and said, "Jia Fang, the last general, has met the Queen Mother."
"Get back together." Zhen Qing's slender face showed worry as she asked, "What's the situation now?"
Jia Fang put on a facelift and calmed down her expression, and said: "Report to the Queen Mother that people from the capital camp have besieged the city gate."
A coldness could be seen in Zhen Qingfeng's eyes, and she said, "Ai Jia wants to say a few words to the soldiers below."
At this moment, Zhen Qing was dressed in a vermilion dress with wide sleeves and a beautiful bun. Standing on the city gate tower, her eyes flickered and she asked: "Where is Cao Bianjiao, the Marquis of Shanhai?"
Cao Bianjiao pulled the reins of the horse from his hip, came close enough, clasped his fists and said, "I have seen the Queen Mother."
In fact, even at this time, the intensity of the coup was still relatively mild, and it was just a mutiny in the capital to force the emperor to surrender.
Firstly, it was Cao Bianjiao's intention to control casualties, and Jia Heng asked Cai Quan and other confidants in the Beijing camp to cooperate secretly. Secondly, it was also the compromise and weakness of Li Zan and other civil servants who warned Cao Bianjiao in advance, mainly to exert psychological influence on Empress Zhen.
Mainly pressure.
Zhen Qing's jade face was like frost, her red lips were slightly parted, and she said: "Cao Bianjiao, you are also a veteran who served the previous emperors of the two dynasties. You have received many favors from the emperor. Why did you lead troops to besiege the palace gate and conspire to cause rebellion?"
Before Cao Bianjiao could say anything, Yan Ye held the reins in his hands, stretched his neck, and said loudly: "The current young emperor is not of the Chen family's blood. We are ordered to serve the king and help the country!"
When Zhen Qing heard this, her eyes dimmed a little, and she felt inexplicably angry, saying: "That's nonsense!"
At this moment, Yan Ye raised his head full of gray hair and shouted: "No one in the world knows that King Wei sleeps on the dragon bed at night and makes the palace dirty. The current young emperor is the son of King Wei!"
This statement could be described as extremely vulgar, but it made the surrounding generals in the capital burst into laughter.
It can be said that the generals and soldiers of the Beijing camp regard the King of Guards as a god. In addition to their outstanding military achievements, wisdom and courage, their sexual fortunes also account for a large part.
The princess and the princess are all his wives, and now he is not clear with the young widow the Queen Mother. Even the young emperor may be his illegitimate son.
When Zhen Qing heard this, her jade face, which was as white as snow, changed from green to white, and she almost trembled with anger.
This Yan Ye, she had to chop him alive!
No woman can bear such ridicule.
Li Zan and Xu Lu looked at each other and secretly felt relieved.
Cao Bianjiao held the reins in his hands, cupped his hands and said: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to abdicate the throne with the young emperor and return the power to the Chen family!"
At this moment, the so-called return of the Chen family has not yet specified who the so-called Chen family is.
Yan Ye also said loudly: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to abdicate the throne with the young emperor and return the power to the Chen family!"
At this moment, the soldiers of the Beijing camp from all directions shouted in unison. For a moment, the sound shook the sky, with an overwhelming effort.
Zhen Qing's beautiful face changed, and she said angrily: "As long as the late emperor is here, how can you allow you to bully the orphans and widows of the Ai family?"
"The whole army is ready to attack the city!" Cao Bianjiao waved his hand. Suddenly, the soldiers from the Beijing camp behind him unsheathed their swords, strung their bows, and approached the city wall with a roar.
In addition, soldiers from the Beijing camp carried up wooden ladders and approached the palace gate.
When Zhen Qing saw this scene of siege, her heart skipped a beat and her hands and feet felt cold.
Didn't that bastard say that Jingying would never go on a business trip?
Why do you think this posture seems to be serious?
“Dong dong!!!”
Accompanied by the sound of drums as dense as raindrops, which was deafening for a while, the soldiers from the Beijing camp began to attack the city.
Li Zan calmed down, stepped forward, looked at Zhen Qing, who was as pale as paper, and said: "The Queen Mother, there are no eyes on the city, so we should retreat to the palace first."
Once the Beijing camp attacks the palace city, he can force Empress Zhen and her son to abdicate in favor of the eighth prince Chen Ze.
In fact, this is also the core idea of the civilian coup - forcing the palace.
Otherwise, will blood really flow into a river? At that time, no one can end it.
Zhen Qing's expression changed, and she snorted coldly. Accompanied by the eunuchs and female officials, she walked down the palace gate and city wall where the war was about to begin, and returned to Wuying Palace.
At this moment, the guards from the Jingying camp and the Jinyi Mansion began to fight around the city wall. The shouts of killing were deafening, and the people in the divine capital city were horrified and inexplicable.
It can be said that since the 20th year of Chongping, there have been waves of turmoil in Shenjing City.
Palace Garden, Wuying Hall
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became extremely stiff and dull. The cabinet ministers such as Li Zan, Qi Kun, Liu Zheng, Zhao Yi and others had expressions as steely as stone and remained silent.
As for Lin Ruhai, who was out on business and helping Jia Heng raise money and food for the victims, she was not in the capital.
In other words, just avoid this wave of chaos.
Li Zan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the matter is urgent. Once the generals from the Beijing camp enter the palace, the consequences will be disastrous."
At this moment, Li Zan was still trying to use the grand momentum to force Zhen Qing and her son to abdicate.
Xu Lu was also out of the class train at this moment, looking at him aggressively, and said: "My Lady, do you have to make blood splatter on your Majesty Dan and cause chaos in the world?"
Zhen Qing sat on the pearwood chair on the other side. The beauty was as beautiful as snow and her jade face was constantly changing. She said clearly: "Mr. Li Ge, the Ai family has finally understood that Cao Bianjiao came here on your recommendation. Now he is leading the troops to besiege the city gate."
, you must be secretly instigating, colluding with the generals in the capital camp, and trying to cause trouble!"
At this moment, Zhen Qing stopped covering up and asked directly.
Li Zan said: "Your Majesty, both Cao Bianjiao and Yan Ye have received great favor from Emperor Shizongxian. Seeing that their relatives are now dictatorial and the imperial court has been corrupted, they have the desire to help them, but there is no one to take charge."
To put it bluntly, everyone acted out of spontaneous indignation.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors are causing harm to the country and the government, and everyone has to punish them? Why should the chief envoys collude?" Xu Lu said angrily.
Zhen Qing said sternly: "As long as Emperor Shi Zongxian is here, you will never bully us orphans and widowed mothers!"
At this moment, Qi Kun's eyes were deep, and he undoubtedly had some enlightenment in his heart.
Today's "forced palace" was indeed planned by Yuan Fu.
Zhao Yi lowered his head slightly, feeling a thick gloom in his heart.
But at this time, something big happened in the capital, and King Wei left the capital. What should we do?
Since just now, Qi Kun and Zhao Yi, the cabinet ministers, have been in a state of confusion.
Because, out of the need for confidentiality, Li Zan only planned with Xu Lu and did not discuss with Qi Kun and others.
But now, everyone present has realized that Li Zan is the mastermind behind the scenes.
The purpose is naturally to force Empress Zhen to abdicate with the young emperor, reduce the title of King Wei, and protect the Han Dynasty!
Li Zan said: "If the empress can express her righteousness and abdicate with her young master, she can keep her wealth and glory."
Zhen Qing sneered and said: "Abdicate? Who abdicates?"
Does she really think she doesn't know what the person in front of her is planning?
Li Zan said: "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is extremely intelligent and is the direct bloodline of Emperor Sejong Xian. It is most suitable for him to succeed to the throne."
Zhen Qing's face was as beautiful as ice, and she said categorically: "Impossible!"
Li Zan threatened: "Your Majesty, are you going to make a scene in the palace, with swords and swords everywhere and blood flowing like rivers?"
Whenever he had a choice, Li Zan was unwilling to go to that step, because it would seriously shake Chen Han's central authority.
Don't forget, Jia Heng was still watching outside the Shenjing City. The result of beating him to a pulp inside the Shenjing City was that Jia Heng mobilized soldiers from the border towns to enter the city forcefully and reap the benefits.
Therefore, this is just the first negotiation, which is to force Zhen Qing and her young master to abdicate.
There is still a heavyweight negotiation behind.
That is the negotiation with Jia Heng, supporting Jia Heng's brother-in-law Chen Ze to ascend the throne, and at the same time depriving Jia Heng of his title of prince.
Because the eighth prince Chen Ze will be in charge in a few years, he will be able to suppress Jia Heng's ambitions by then.
All said and done, they are all a family, and they are all trying to avoid the rat.
This is the case with Jia Heng and Zhen Qing, and the same is true with Xianning and Concubine Duanrong.
This is politics, full of struggle and compromise, full of deception and performance.
Otherwise, if Jia Heng holds the military power and sacrifices the butcher's knife, he can already implement the strategy of those who follow me to prosper and those who go against me to perish. Why would there be any need for such an unnecessary step?
But the result was that Zhen Qing was resentful, father and son turned against each other, and all the civil servants in the world were resentful and regarded him as a reckless person.
Xu Lu said: "Please take the overall situation into consideration and abdicate the throne with the young emperor to make way for someone worthy of your honour!"
Zhen Qing's narrow and clear phoenix eyes were full of fierce murderous intent, and she said coldly: "Li Zan, Xu Lu, do you think I dare not punish your nine clans?"
Hearing this, Li Zan took off the black gauze hat on his head, knelt down, and said with firmness in his eyes: "Zan, I have received so much kindness from Emperor Sejongxian, I will not hesitate even if my body is shattered for the sake of the country.
"
Xu Lu said: "My dear, many civil servants in the capital recall the virtues of Emperor Sejong Xian. Now that King Wei is leading the country and causing chaos in government, the world has long been angry but dare not speak out."
Zhen Qing's jade face, as clear as snow, kept changing, and she said in a deep voice: "Come here, capture these two rebellious officials and traitors, Li Zan and Xu Lu!"
Then, no Jinyifu guards approached outside the palace, or in other words, all the Jinyifu guards in the palace were also "taken out" by Li Zan.
Li Zan bowed and said loudly: "We respectfully ask the empress to abdicate the throne with the young emperor, return the power to the Chen family, and invite the eighth prince to ascend the throne."
Qi Kun, Liu Zheng, Zhao Yi, Shi Jie and others had surprised faces and uncertain hearts.
Zhen Qing looked at the civil servants around her and suddenly felt a little panicked.
What's going on?
Didn't that bastard say it was just a show? What's going on now...
Zhen Qing felt something bad in her heart.
At this moment, an eunuch from outside ran in with a hurried look and said: "My Lady, it's not good, the rebel troops from the Beijing camp have entered the palace."
Zhen Qing: "..."
At this moment, Zhen Qing suddenly felt a huge panic, and things seemed to be out of her control.
…
…
Ningguo Mansion, in the study room——
Chen Xiaoli stood in front of the window, his clear eyes flickering, he looked at Na Qulang and said, "Did you say hello to the guards of Jinyi Mansion and the guards of Anshun Gate?"
Qu Lang said: "Back to the princess, Li Zan sent someone to contact the guards of Jinyi Mansion before. I have instructed Qianhu of Jinyi to cooperate."
Chen Xiao looked out the window at the increasingly cloudy sky and said, "After today, Zhen Qing's mother and son can be abolished."
At that time, he no longer has to be a villain.
Wuying Palace
The atmosphere was already a bit tense.
Zhen Qing looked at Li and Xu in shock, feeling an unspeakable fear in her heart.
In fact, most people really can't stand this kind of posture.
After all, Zhen Qing is just a woman.
After a while, as time passed, soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp had already poured into the palace and occupied several palace gates in the front and back.
Yan Ye was in high spirits at the moment, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his old face stained with blood.
As the soldiers gradually approached Wuying Hall, Cao Bianjiao and Yan Ye led a large number of soldiers to the front of Wuying Hall. During this period, they encountered almost no decent resistance and were almost overwhelming.
Hearing that the soldiers from the Beijing camp rushed into the palace, Zhen Qing also panicked and said: "Li Zan, the Ai family is the widow of Emperor Guangzong and the daughter-in-law of Emperor Sejongxian. Emperor Guangzong is the East Palace appointed by Emperor Sejongxian. You will pay attention."
The minister of fate was so favored by Emperor Sejongxian that he was forced to use swords and soldiers?"
This is based on the legitimacy of Guangzong's accession to the throne to demonstrate the legal principles of his son.
Xu Lu said: "Madam, Chen Jie is not of the bloodline of Emperor Guangzong and cannot rule the world. Now that he has stolen the country and proclaimed himself emperor, people are unconvinced."
"You guys are talking nonsense!" Zhen Qing said angrily.
Li Zan stood up, looked at a cabinet clerk, and said, "Go to Changle Palace to invite Empress Dowager Zeng."
The so-called Empress Dowager Zeng is Empress Dowager Feng.
Because of the "forced palace" problem of the Song Empress, it was difficult to deal with it. After the young emperor ascended the throne, his title was neither reduced nor given a title, so there is no empress dowager at the moment.
Empress Dowager Feng was given the title of Empress Dowager Zeng by the young emperor.
At this time, Li Zan, as the chief minister of the cabinet, wanted to depose Zhen Qing's son, so he had to rely on Empress Dowager Feng's decree.
It does not mean that the chief minister of the cabinet can depose the young emperor by drafting an imperial edict. The people of the world will not be convinced either.
But it can be done through Empress Dowager Feng.
Empress Dowager Feng was the mother of Emperor Sejongxian and the empress of Emperor Longzhi. She was highly respected and respected, and no one was more noble than her.
At this time, several internal eunuchs went to Changle Palace to invite Empress Dowager Feng.
Empress Dowager Feng came from outside with the support of several old nuns, and the surrounding soldiers from the Beijing camp got out of the way.
In other words, Empress Dowager Feng is a heavyweight in her own right.
Li Zan and Xu Lu approached. They had undergone plastic surgery to reduce their appearance. They bowed respectfully and said, "I have seen Empress Dowager Zeng."
When Zhen Qing saw Empress Dowager Feng, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly approached and said respectfully, "My granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhen, has met my grandmother."
Although Empress Dowager Feng's hair was as silver as silk at the moment, her ears and eyes were sharp and she was in good spirits. She asked: "Li Qing, why did you raise troops to cause chaos in the palace?"
Li Zan said: "Go back to your Majesty, now that the young emperor is coming to the court, he is in charge of the young country, and his relatives are dictatorial and monopolize the power, so that Tai'a is against him. People and scholars all over the world say that the young emperor is not the eldest son of Guang. For this reason, Bashu is in chaos and wars are going on.
The day before yesterday, there was an earthquake in Jinzhong as a warning, and the generals from the Beijing camp entered the palace to ask Empress Zhen to abdicate the throne with the young emperor and return the throne to the Chen family."
He explained clearly what happened in a few words, and even used the theory of telepathy between heaven and man.
Empress Dowager Feng frowned, with surprise and uncertainty in her eyes, and asked: "The young master is not of Guangzong blood? Isn't this a slanderous rumor spread by the outside world to slander the Tian family?"
In fact, although Empress Dowager Feng was deep in the palace, she was not completely ignorant of the rumors from the outside world.
After all, the issue of whether the young emperor was of Guangzong's bloodline forced an old minister of Chongping to rebel, leading to the rebellion of the entire Bashu. Although the court quickly put an end to it, the cause was still the issue of the royal bloodline.
Li Zan said: "There is no wind without fire. There must be a reason why the world is so confused about the bloodline of the young emperor. The young emperor was the child of Empress Zhen when she went to Jiangnan to return to Ning. However, although Emperor Guangzong was in Jiangnan at the beginning, there was no record of it in the daily notes.
, there are many doubts during this period. Previously, there was chaos in Bashu, and this was the reason."
In other words, Zhen Qing's son's legal issues aroused the suspicion of the people in the world. In addition, Zhen Qing himself was a young emperor, which caused King Wei to take charge of the country.
Xu Lu held an ivory jade wat in his hand and said loudly: "Wei Chen tells the story of the Empress Dowager Zeng, the eighth prince Chen Ze, Dun Hou Chong Yi, Yong He Chu Chun, deeply like his father and ancestors, with mellow blood, and no one in the clan is better than him. Wei Chen
Please establish the eighth prince Chen Ze."
Empress Dowager Feng paused slightly and thought about it.
Li Zan said: "Nowadays, outsiders often say that the young emperor is the son of King Wei."
Zhen Qing's beautiful face changed, and she said angrily: "Li Zan! How can the innocence of the Ai family be allowed to be slandered by you?"
If that bastard hadn't insisted on telling the truth, how could the legal issue of her family's Jie'er have aroused the world's suspicion?
And what is called acting today, does that bastard really know nothing about it?
Queen Mother Feng turned her eyes and glanced at Zhen Qing, who was wearing gorgeous makeup, and there was a hint of suspicion in her sunken old eyes.
I'm afraid these external rumors are not groundless.
No one else knew what was going on with King Wei, so how could she not know?
Li'er has given birth to a son for him. Li'er is Xianning's aunt, which shows that this man is a vegetarian.
Looking at the charming and charming way Mrs. Zhen is dressed, she doesn't look like a widowed woman. I'm afraid there is something going on here.
Now neither the cabinet nor the capital recognizes the Zhen family and his son. For the sake of the continuation of the Han Dynasty, they can only agree to Li Zan's request.
In other words, both the civil servants and the military believed that Zhen Qing and the young emperor were not suitable to be emperors and were willing to support the eighth prince, so Empress Dowager Feng would not be too insistent.
This is based on the overall situation, and everything is based on the continuation of the bloodline of the Chen Han clan.
At this moment, Li Zan watched Empress Dowager Feng's expression in his eyes and knew that he had made the right bet.
Empress Dowager Zeng had no feelings for the Zhen family and the young emperor.
The Empress Dowager Zeng must have been used to big storms and was well aware of the shady activities in the harem.
There is a problem with the bloodline of the young emperor, but the bloodline of the eighth prince Chen Ze is without any problem. It is from the noble concubine of Emperor Sejong Xian, so he can be said to be a noble person in the world.
In fact, under ancient patriarchal inheritance, bloodline distance was an important basis for inheritance.
The reason why Gao Zhongping, Li Zan, Xu Lu and other retainers couldn't bear the chaos caused by Jia Heng's reign was because the bloodline of the young emperor was indeed doubtful.
Empress Dowager Feng sighed and ordered: "Go and ask Concubine Rong and the Eighth Prince Chen Ze to come over."
When Li Zan heard this, his eyes flickered, and he was very happy.
Great things are done!
Xu Lu was also relieved. Empress Dowager Zeng drafted the decree and the cabinet signed it. The eighth prince's throne was justified.
When the time comes, King Wei will also acquiesce in this matter when he returns to Beijing.
If he is deposed again, Concubine Duanrong and Princess Xianning will also be restrained.
