His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 230

The rest of the way was peaceful.

In another day, the imperial boat will arrive in Jiangning.

There was also a small episode during this period.

It was Empress Li who finally discovered the truth of why she had a bad nose every time she went back to look for His Majesty in the days when they left.

Your Majesty actually hides her beauty in a golden house!

He brought a woman who appeared out of nowhere onto the boat, and arranged her in the room next to him!
Concubine Li observed secretly for several days, and found that His Majesty would go to drink tea and play chess with that woman every morning and evening.

Concubine Li was so annoyed that she really wanted to drag that woman out and slap her to death.

She is the highest-ranking concubine in this line, and she had already thought about it when she set off. If she could accompany His Majesty along the way, why would she not be able to develop a relationship with His Majesty?

Your Majesty is in his prime, strong and strong, and it would be best if he could sit on the throne for another ten years!
Even if her King Yi didn't have the chance to sit on the throne, she could still develop and grow under the blessing of His Majesty in the past ten years. When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he has to give three points to their mother and son!
But she thought well, but His Majesty was inseparable from that little goblin.

She tentatively proposed several times that she wanted to meet that "sister", and said very virtuously: "If your majesty likes it, you can bring it back to the palace when you go back."

But they were all rejected by His Majesty.

He even said something: "Of course I want to take her back, but she is not something you can see whenever you want."

He brought the queen out, and he definitely wanted to bring it back.

As for the second part of the sentence, His Majesty the Emperor meant that he could have the days when he wanted to see the queen, but it was the result of a whole journey, so don't even think about Concubine Li.

But in the ears of Empress Li, that has another meaning.

This woman who showed up halfway was very, very special.

His Majesty even refused her request to meet her.

Empress Li insisted that this person came out halfway, because she didn't find any clues at all before.

Just like that, Concubine Li kept staring at His Majesty and that one.

Finally, on the second day after their return, important news came from Shangjing. Both His Majesty and the crown prince were called away by the accompanying ministers. Concubine Li felt that she had finally found her chance.

The person who brought him appeared at the door of that room in a mighty manner.

Xiao Ze led his people away with His Majesty, and the remaining deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army faced the menacing Concubine Li, wanted to stop him but dared not, let her kick the door open.

It was this kick that made Empress Li regret her whole life.

After she saw the people in the room, her brain froze for a moment, and then only a series of "impossible" remained...

Why did the empress who worshiped Buddha in the Small Buddha Hall of Zhongcui Palace appear here?
So these days His Majesty stays with the Empress Dowager?
Concubine Li: ...

Concubine Li felt as if she couldn't breathe.

When the empress frowned, she asked her in a warm voice: "Concubine Li? What are you doing?"

Concubine Li didn't answer, she didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed, her eyes went dark, and she fainted straight in front of the empress's room door.

The empress only felt that it was bad luck, so she hurriedly had the empress Li concubine carried away.

And from that day on, His Majesty also lost the right to have tea and chess with the Empress.

Counting it, this is already the third day after Empress Li's kick.

His Majesty's face was also dark for three days.

Concubine Li was also directly ordered by His Majesty to be confined in her room and not allowed to go out.

It's really a good show, an old love drama...

Both His Majesty and the Empress are grandfathers, and they can still stage a good show in which concubines compete for favor and kick Teppanhara's wife.

Chen Fulin couldn't help feeling: "The man from the old Qin family is really charming!"

at night,
Hearing what she said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt a jolt all over his body.

"Gu, keep yourself clean."

**
Jiangning.

It was their first stop in Jiangnan.

"There is nothing outside the river, and it is peaceful here" is the origin of the name Jiangning.

Jiangning has many water towns, which both benefit and suffer from its unique geographical location and extraordinary feng shui environment.

According to historical records, Jiangning has suffered from military disasters many times, but it has also repeatedly recovered from the rubble.

And in the special period when the very few Huaxia tribes were declining, the Central Plains was encroached by the surrounding alien races. When the Huaxia tribe was about to be wiped out, they usually chose Jiangning to recuperate, so this place was regarded as the revival of the Huaxia tribe.

Before the previous dynasty, Jiangning had become the political center of the country several times.

At that time, there were countless famous families in the south of the Yangtze River.

The prosperity of his literature, the handsomeness of the characters, the beauty of the mountains and rivers, the majesty of the weather, and the close relationship with the nation in adversity have attracted the fascination of countless literati.

Until the previous dynasty, Shangjing became the political center of the country. Because of being far away from the political center, the status of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River declined.

Up to now, the status and role in the Dajing regime are not as good as those of the northern gentry and the Guanlong nobles, but it is undeniable that they are still the same surname.

These gentry families maintained their cultural monopoly advantages through marriages among powerful clans, and continued to consolidate their declining family status, especially the four surnames of Wuzhong and Kuaiji, as well as the Langya Wang family, Chenjun Xie family and Yuan family who migrated from the north to the south. , Lanling Xiao is the most.

They are closely united, constantly improving each other's prestige, and continuing their status as the twelve great families in the south of the Yangtze River.

In contrast, the eight major families in Wuzhong and Kuaiji are more closely connected, while the four major families that moved south are relatively loose.

This is why the crown prince's thunderous attack in the south of the Yangtze River directly destroyed the foundation of the Taiyuan Wang family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other eleven major families responded mediocrely.

At the beginning, the prince knew that these families jointly controlled Jiangnan, but he only attacked the Wang family who had privately swallowed the salt farm. After knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger with one hand, he specially left enough time for these families to withdraw their claws.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials. When the imperial army came under pressure, the Jiangnan families who had never been subjected to war all chose to submit.

Qin Ao once said: "The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are nothing more than that."

It is said that the aristocratic family has the most backbone, but all he has seen these years are those who are greedy for life and fear of death, and greedy for power and profit.

Perhaps life is too peaceful, causing people to breed a lot of greed for no reason, and destroying the blood in their bones.

So this time when the imperial boat arrived in Jiangning, the governor of Jiangning County made arrangements at the ferry and prepared a vigorous welcome ceremony. His Majesty and the prince must see their enthusiasm and loyalty in Jiangning.

Jiangning originally had a palace, and since three years ago, the government has recruited a large number of civilians to repair the palace, in order to welcome His Majesty's southern tour.

But when the imperial boat stopped at the ferry, and the governor of Jiangning County brought people to greet him, he was told that His Majesty had already disembarked in disguise.

"Your Majesty ordered that officials from all over Jiangning do not need to welcome, feast, or make extravagance. Your Majesty has his own arrangements. You just wait for His Majesty to summon you."

It was the guards of the imperial forest army who stayed behind on the imperial boat who delivered the message, and relayed His Majesty's words sternly, then turned around and strode back to their posts.

Jiangning officials who didn't care about hearing the news froze in place.
