The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 400
The wedding between King Ying and Sheng Minglan was held very quickly, and it was very grand, even bigger than when King Ying married his concubine.

The reason is also simple. When King Ying married his concubine, the official Zhao Shu was still a vassal, and he could only hold the wedding according to the specifications of the prince.

Now that Zhao Shu has become the emperor, King Ying has also been crowned king, and he still has the potential of a prince. If he gets married again, he can't be sloppy, so the scale of the wedding is very grand.

On the day Minglan left the pavilion, old lady Sheng cried very sadly, even Sheng Hong shed a few tears.

Wang Gang was very ordinary, he just prepared a big gift for Minglan, which made Lin Sushuang and Sheng Molan angry.

Sheng Molan even came to settle accounts with Wang Gang.

"Third brother, your biological sister is me, Sheng Molan, not her, Sheng Minglan."

"What do you know, when Minglan marries King Ying, the prosperity and misfortune of the Sheng family will be tied to her alone." Wang Gang said.

"Not just a concubine, but not a concubine." Sheng Molan said disapprovingly.

However, Wang Gang ignored Sheng Molan. He knew that Zhao Shu, the current official, was a short-lived ghost.

In other words, as long as nothing happens to Ming Lan, she will definitely be an imperial concubine in the future, and if she can give birth to a first prince, she can even become an empress.

Wang Gang didn't mean to curry favor with Ming Lan, but felt that she had more or less her own reasons for marrying King Ying this time and being trapped in the harem for the rest of her life.

King Ying asked Minglan to marry, not only because Minglan was indeed beautiful, but also partly because King Ying wanted to marry Wang Gang.

Different from others, King Ying has been to Gyeongju, contacted Wang Gang, and knows his potential and the network behind him.

Wang Gang now seems to be just a powerless fourth-rank official, but in fact the network behind him is extremely deep.

Just because of Gu Tingye's friendship, King Ying had to look at Wang Gang differently.

Coupled with the Chamber of Commerce behind Wang Gang, that is a huge fortune.

How could King Ying let such a potential minister go.

The queen mother insisted on recruiting Minglan into the palace before, and there was also a reason why she didn't want him to go too far with King Ying.

It was precisely because Wang Gang had figured everything out that he felt indebted to Minglan and wanted to make up for it, so he prepared a generous dowry for her.

After Minglan got married, she went back to her natal home once, saying that everything was fine, and then never came back.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

I don't know if Minglan's life is good, she became pregnant within three months of marrying King Ying.

Her pregnancy was so serious that even the officials were alarmed and sent a lot of supplements. Minglan was also grounded by King Ying, so she could raise her baby in the palace with peace of mind.

This is King Ying's first child, which means a lot to the royal family.

If Minglan gave birth to a son, it meant that Zhao Shu had the emperor's grandson, that is to say, the third generation of heirs, which would be very helpful to his stability of the throne.

It is very likely that Ying Wang will be crowned prince because of this child.

Therefore, Minglan's pregnancy immediately became a national treasure and was strictly protected.

Wang Gang was worried that she had taken too much supplements, which would cause a difficult delivery, so he found a famous doctor for her to recuperate her body.

For this reason, Lin Sushuang was angry with Wang Gang for several days.

Because Sheng Molan was married for several years, and after a dystocia, she could no longer conceive.

Wang Gang couldn't stand the bad things at home, so he took Hai Chaoyun to live in the Earl's Mansion.

Minglan was pregnant, and Hai Chaoyun actually felt uncomfortable, because she had never given birth to a son or a daughter to Wang Gang until now.

Although Wang Gang thinks this is his own problem, he has been reincarnated for several times and has never been very strong in childbearing. It seems that there is God's will in the dark, and the fate of his descendants is not important.

Wang Gang also consulted the doctor. He and Hai Chaoyun are both fine, but they can't conceive.

The Hai family also talked to Hai Chaoyun about this, so that she would not have to abide by the rule that only children who are forty years old are allowed to take concubines, and married Wang Gang a concubine.

Wang Gang finally refused, and then devoted himself to work.

He, the right servant of the Ministry of War, is not without work. Although the Ministry of War has no military power, it still shoulders the responsibility of developing weapons.

In other words, Wang Gang can use the power in his hands to study black powder in an open and honest manner.

He specially found a craftsman and granted a large sum of money every year to specialize in the research of black powder.

It's not that he doesn't want to study, but that he really doesn't understand.

In the court, the battle between the emperor and the queen mother has reached a fever pitch.

The emperor also carried out his own plan, just like the original book.

Zhao Shu first justified his own father's name, and wanted Feng to pursue him as emperor, which touched the queen mother's bottom line.

At the beginning, Zhao Shu inherited the throne from the late emperor Song Renzong. Zhao Shu's move was no different from wanting to recognize his ancestors and deny Song Renzong his father.

Song Renzong is no longer a father, and the queen mother cannot be a mother naturally.

This made the queen mother unbearable, thinking that Zhao Shu was turning his face and denying others, and with the help of some ministers in the court, the queen mother planned to change the emperor.

Changing the emperor is not just a matter of changing. This is not only a political game, but also requires military cooperation.

Now most of the military power in Bianjing City is in the hands of Gu Tingye and the emperor's brother-in-law Shen Congxing.

Soon Gu Tingye was unlucky first, because of a small mistake, he was bitten by the Queen Mother and fined to leave Beijing.

As for Shen Congxing, he was punished by the officials and lost his military power because he favored his concubine and killed his wife.

Seeing that the time was right, the queen mother launched a mutiny with the intention of taking the imperial city.

After Wang Gang received the news, he immediately asked his relatives to hide in the cellar under the protection of Master Liao, and rushed to Prince Ying's mansion with a big gun.

Sheng Minglan's pregnancy was full term and she would give birth at any time. Wang Gang was worried that something might happen to her, so he came to protect her.

Sure enough, because of the mutiny, Ming Lan's fetal gas moved and her amniotic fluid broke.

When Wang Gang rushed to the palace, he found that there was no midwife or doctor in Minglan's place.

"Third brother, I'm in so much pain." Minglan lay on the bed and wailed in pain.

"Where's the midwife? Didn't the lord find the best midwife?" Wang Gang grabbed a maid and asked.

"Forgive me, my lord, but I don't know anything about this villain." The servant girl was so frightened that her whole body went limp.

As soon as Wang Gang heard it, he sensed that something was wrong. He exerted a little force with his right hand, and the servant girl yelled in pain.

"If you don't tell the truth again, believe it or not, I'll break your arm."

The maid couldn't stand the pain, and shouted: "The midwife and the doctor are all taken by the princess."

Wang Gang narrowed his eyes, thinking that it was indeed the case, and there were a lot of bad things in the backyard of the Wang Mansion.

"Where are they?" Wang Gang also talked nonsense lazily, asked where the midwife was, and rushed over with a gun.

The midwife and the doctor were locked outside the palace, fortunately not far away, Princess Ying sent a large number of guards to guard it.

Wang Gang went straight to the door and shot the guards away one by one.

The midwife and the doctor were still alive, but their hands and feet were bound and they couldn't move.

Wang Gang untied them, and then dragged them to the palace.

But when they ran to the gate of the palace, they found that Princess Ying was blocking the way with a large number of people.

"These people are rebels, and I will kill them all." Princess Ying did not stop doing two things, and was ready to kill people to silence her. Now she has no other way to go.

Wang Gang snorted coldly, threw his long spear directly, pierced through the bodies of three guards, and nailed it to Princess Ying's side.

Princess Ying was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

Wang Gang said coldly to Princess Ying: "Don't think I dare not kill you."

The guards of the palace were overwhelmed by Wang Gang's murderous aura and took the initiative to make way.

Wang Gang took the midwife and the doctor directly into the palace and came to Minglan.

At this moment, Minglan had no strength to howl, and she also lost consciousness, and her anger was like a wandering thread.

Wang Gang quickly asked the doctor to treat him, and he would save the person first.

"The mother's physical strength is not enough to support the delivery. I want to give acupuncture to stimulate her vitality, but it may affect the baby." After checking Minglan's condition, the doctor looked embarrassed.

"Try to protect your lord, I will take care of anything." Wang Gang said without hesitation.

As soon as the doctor heard it, he was convinced, and quickly gave Sheng Minglan an injection. It was inconvenient for Wang Gang to stay in the room, so he had to wait outside.

The chaos in Bianjing became more and more serious, and many rebels rushed to the minister's house.

As the eldest prince of the official family, King Ying is naturally also the target of the rebels.

King Ying is not in the mansion now, he went to the palace to protect Zhao Shu when the rebellion happened.

Otherwise, Princess Ying would not dare to treat Sheng Minglan like that.

A group of rebels soon rushed into the palace, trying to capture King Ying.

Sheng Minglan's yard was naturally also the target of the rebels.

Wang Gang stood guard in front of Sheng Minglan's house, one man at a time, with the aura of one man guarding the gate, and no one would let anyone off the hook.

The rebels thought that Wang Gang would be able to solve it soon by himself.

But the reality is that there is a corpse lying on the ground under Wang Gang's feet.

The queen mother's order is to capture the family members of King Ying, and they must be kept alive so that the rebels cannot use bows and arrows.

Wang Gang didn't know how many people he had killed. When a baby cried in the room, King Ying and Gu Tingye had already brought people back to support the palace and suppress the rebellion.

"My lord, the pregnant woman is about to die." The doctor's scream made Wang Gang's heart skip a beat.
