Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 109 The Cloud Opens and the Moon Brightens (3)
Vice General Liu came in with a pot of wine, and said with a smile: "This time the imperial army won a complete victory, the emperor must be very happy, and General Chu brought back 12 troops. This time, the Miansheng must be promoted. .”

Deputy General Zhao poured a bowl of wine with a smile and handed it over, "Please, General."

Chu Liangting got along very well with them all the way, and took the bowl with a smile, "The two of you must be indispensable in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds." He paused, "It's just that Prince Jing hasn't been found yet, let's wait When I see the emperor, remember not to be too complacent."

The two lieutenants looked at each other and smiled, "Okay, take note."

While talking, there was a sudden noise outside.

"What's wrong?" Chu Liangting asked.

A school lieutenant quickly came to report, with a panicked expression, "General, the sentry reported just now, saying that thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared on the official road. I don't know who led them, and they were galloping towards our camp."

Chu Liangting frowned and said, "How many thousands of soldiers?"

Deputy General Liu snorted, "Who is so short-sighted? How dare you provoke the 12 imperial army!" Turning his head, he said, "Don't worry, General, just drink and take the last general to see what happened."

Deputy General Zhao said with a smile: "I don't know who is looking for death, but it disturbed our drinking." With a carefree look, he took a sip of wine first, "General, let's just drink and wait."

Although Chu Liangting was a little surprised, he didn't take the thousands of soldiers and horses to heart. Seeing that a lieutenant had already gone out and a calmly drinking with him, he was too embarrassed to show his composure.So he picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Let's drink, and Vice General Liu will be back later."

"Yes." Deputy General Zhao said with a grin, "It's just a trivial matter."

Sure enough, after drinking for three rounds, the two of them saw Vice General Liu running back on horseback from a distance.It seems... There is a tall and slender man behind him, also riding a horse, also wearing a general's uniform, like a general.

Chu Liangting looked strange, who is it?Let Vice General Liu come into the barracks.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Vice General Liu waving his hand and saying something. The handsome man waved his hand on his horse, and the generals in front of him shouted earth-shatteringly: "Welcome His Royal Highness Prince Jing! Your lord is back!"

Prince Jing Gao Chen? !he is not dead?It doesn't matter if he didn't die, why did he appear in the capital again?Chu Liangting suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes, and his heart was extremely flustered. After drinking some wine, he couldn't help shaking when he stood up.

"My lord is back." Deputy General Zhao turned his head and glanced at him, then smiled slowly, "Good thing, very good thing."

Chu Liangting looked at him, then at Vice General Liu who was circling around Gao Chen outside, what else did he not understand?These two people have already colluded with Gao Chen in private!He didn't die, he was fine at all, it was just a fake death so that he could return to the capital.

If Gao Chen is alive, he will have to accept the imperial decree in Fujian, and he is plotting rebellion in Shangjing!And even if he goes all the way to Beijing regardless of the notoriety of treason, he will definitely be stopped by the troops stationed in the states along the way.So he simply chose to feign death, then lightly rode to Beijing, and went directly to the Beijing camp to take over the 12 troops!
In addition, Liu and Zhao cooperated with each other inside and outside without any effort.

Deputy General Zhao dusted off his clothes and straightened his sword, "General, just now we were worried that the prince could not be found, and the emperor would be angry with us and blame us for not taking good care of the prince. Now that the prince is back, double happiness will come, and the emperor will definitely be happy." Joy."

Dragon Heart Joy ass!Chu Liangting was trembling with anger, and reached out to touch his saber, but found that his hands were weak and his feet were weak, and he couldn't even stand still.

"Huh? Is the general drunk?" Deputy General Zhao stepped forward to help him sit down, and then called two of his confidants over with a stern voice, "General Chu is drunk, please stay with me here, if something goes wrong, I'll cut you to pieces!"

"Yes." The two confidants replied in unison.

Chu Liangting knew in his heart that Vice General Zhao's words were admonishing his subordinates, and at the same time admonishing himself not to act rashly, otherwise he would die!Since they were going to surround the capital and change the palace, they naturally didn't care about killing a few more people, and they had to either comply with their treasonous move, or lose their heads.

Gao Chen first went to Fujian to appease the bandits to gain military power, then feigned death, led thousands of fine cavalry back to Beijing, and then colluded with two thieves to seize the military power skillfully, what a series of tricks!

Chu Liangting secretly sighed that the sky in the imperial city was about to change.

In order to welcome the imperial army's triumphant return, today Emperor Qing and Prince Gao Dun are all dressed up.It's just that, because of Gao Chen's disappearance, the big happy event that was originally celebrated by the whole world has added a cloud of lingering gloom.

Gao Dun hesitated: "Fourth... still no news?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Qing naturally felt extremely heavy.It is true that he is jealous of Gao Chen, but after all, he is his own son, so he is not expecting something to happen to his son. He sighed and said, "What news can there be? He fell into the sea, hey... just to leave a thought for your mother. She has a glimmer of hope."

Gao Dun felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said dejectedly: "Father, if the fourth son had been made the crown prince, perhaps...these things would not have happened." Gao Xi died early, and the only brother with his mother was Gao Chen, who is very young, naturally loves his younger brother a lot, and the brotherhood is not fake.

As for being the prince and the future emperor, that's good, but I didn't expect my little brother to die.

"Okay." Emperor Qing listened, but his expression was displeased, "What do you mean by that? Do you think I made a mistake in the original decision? Did you miss it? Shouldn't you be the crown prince?" He snorted coldly, "You don't want to If you get it cheap, then sell it!"

Gao Dun was at a loss for words. He was not an eloquent person, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Emperor Qing sternly said, "Don't mention the fourth one in advance. Let's go to meet the imperial army returning in triumph today. Don't be downcast. But you, the prince, can neither write nor fight. You should behave well at this time A little bit of benevolence, and the means of controlling him. I will remember what I have to say later, don't be inappropriate..."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..." A eunuch panicked and ran in, and said in shock, "Prince Jing has returned to Beijing!"

Emperor Qing was shocked when he heard the words, "What did you say?"

"Fourth? Where is he?" Gordon asked hastily.

"Prince Jing is not dead, he is still alive." The eunuch hurriedly replied: "I heard that he was fished up from the sea, and then led five thousand soldiers and horses, all the way back to Beijing, and now he is in the big tent of the Beijing camp outside the city. gone."

Emperor Qing suddenly sat softly in the dragon chair.

The fourth son is not dead, but is still alive, there is nothing wrong with that.But he went back to the capital miraculously, brought five thousand soldiers and horses into the big tent of the capital camp, and did not cause any trouble, what does this mean?It means that the generals of the Beijing camp have been controlled by him. He is... taking the opportunity to support his own army and plot against him.

If he is honest, he should stay in Fujian even if he is alive, instead of going to Beijing.

The partial student Gao Dun didn't seem to be able to react, and said happily: "Really? The fourth child is fine! Okay, I'll go over and tell the queen mother, so that she and Wuyang will be happy." After speaking, he hurried out.

Rebel!Reverse, reverse!Emperor Qing scolded Gao Chen in his heart, he didn't bother to reprimand the crown prince, and immediately ordered some powerful officials to come over, hurrying to discuss a good strategy to deal with the palace change.

But in the face of the 12 troops already under control and the siege of the capital, what good strategies can the courtiers have?Everyone heard that Gao Chen came back and took control of the situation. Not only did they not have a good strategy, but they all persuaded Emperor Qing to abdicate and let the virtuous.Although there were a few voices supporting Emperor Qing, they were too few and were completely drowned out by the din of voices.

Emperor Qing Longyan was furious, and scolded: "You group of wine bags and rice bags! They are all reversed."

Just as he was about to deal with these sloppy courtiers severely, someone from the palace came to report, "His Royal Highness led the people to the south gate, and ordered Mr. Yuan, the military commander of the five cities, to let him Open the city gate to welcome Prince Jing's triumphant return..."

Emperor Qing tremblingly said: "This Nizi! They are all Nizi!" As he spoke, he felt so angry that his eyes darkened, Venus shot up, and he fainted in the dragon chair with his forehead, "Ni, Nizi..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Hurry up and tell the doctor!"

In the main hall, a group of people were in a hurry.

Some ministers exchanged glances one after another, feeling uneasy.The sky of the imperial city is about to change, and the country will change hands. I'm afraid the new king will not have a good face towards this group of courtiers who once opposed him.They were all thinking in their hearts, how to redeem it, at least not to end up in the end of ransacking the family.

As for the emperor, hey...it should be the Supreme Emperor in the future.

"Let you open the door!" Gao Dun scolded angrily: "Are you deaf? If you don't obey the order, Gu will cut off your head!"

Yuan Xun, the military commander of the five cities, looked embarrassed, refused to accept the order, and flinched: "This... can't be done, there is no imperial edict from the emperor! Please forgive me for not being able to obey the order."

"What do you mean?" Gao Dun pretended to be puzzled, and distorted: "Prince Jing put down the bandits in Fujian, and made a great contribution to return to the court. You didn't open the door and let it go, but closed it. Who did you mean?" ?!"

Yuan Xun couldn't prevent the prince from saying this, so he was speechless. The headquarters said that the emperor was afraid of Prince Jing's rebellion.

Gao Dun took a step forward and drew out his sword, "If you don't open the door, Gu will cut off your head!"

Yuan Xun's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he looked at the shining sword that was so close at hand - not that he couldn't beat it, but that he didn't dare to attack His Highness the Crown Prince.Looking outside the city, there is a huge army of 10,000+ that can't be seen, knowing that the situation is over.The emperor was no match for Prince Jing at all, and he had no defenses. Now that the crown prince is fighting against Prince Jing again, there is no point in continuing, and he will just bury his head in vain.

Do you want to kill the crown prince yourself, and then kill Prince Jing, to show merit like the emperor?Don't say that I don't have that ability, even if I have, it is impossible to do that.

——Assess the time and situation, be wise and protect yourself.

Yuan Xun weighed left and right in his heart, and finally backed down, "His Royal Highness is justified, it's the lower official... the lower official is too stubborn and insists on his own opinion." He tried to smile, "Prince Jing returned to Beijing triumphantly, and the gates of the city should be opened wide. It's right to welcome you." Immediately ordered his subordinates, "Open the city gate! Welcome Prince Jing back to court!"

"Om..." A loud and dull sound pierced through the air.

Outside the city gate, the stalemate army suddenly became excited.

"The gates are open! Open!"

Gao Chen was wearing a set of refined iron armor, holding a long spear, sitting on a tall horse and looking forward, - things were even smoother than he imagined, and he never expected that the city gate would be broken without attacking!

Soon, Gao Dun quickly led the people out.

"Fourth brother, you are finally back." He looked joyful, "Let's go, let's go to the palace quickly! The emperor father and the queen mother are waiting for you in the palace, looking forward to you, and hope that you will come back safe and sound. "

"His Royal Highness..."

do not. Gao Dun waved his hand, "From now on, I will be called Brother Huang, and I will not be called Big Brother the same as before." He laughed at himself, "I'm not capable of being a prince, and I can't do it well. If I do, I don't feel at ease."This country, the country, the world is peaceful, and it is still in your hands, so that everyone can rest assured. "

Gao Chen got off his horse and called out, "Brother."

Gao Dun looked slightly relaxed, stepped forward and shook the little brother's hand, and said in a low voice: "I won't say much about the other big brothers. You just need to remember that the big brother has always regarded you as the brother who loves you the most, and remembering our brotherhood is enough." gone."

"That's natural." Gao Chen looked serious, "Brother, you will always be my elder brother."

"Okay." Gao Dun nodded in satisfaction, and said again: "As for the Taibai Yaoxing incident last time, it was all caused by those restless old bastards in the East Palace. Later, Big Brother will clean it up for you, so don't worry about it." Pulling him, "Let's go, let's go see Father and Queen Mother, and go to the palace as soon as possible."

"Let's go." Gao Chen's figure was clear, and he entered the city gate side by side with his elder brother.

The two lieutenants Zhao and Liu who followed behind looked at each other, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.Who said the prince is a muddleheaded one?This is not very clear.

Seeing the surrounding situation clearly, knowing how to advance and retreat, not only resigned from the crown prince before, but also opened the door to welcome the new emperor today. No matter how much brotherhood the new emperor has in his heart, he can't harm this man again. Let the prince Xian.

The so-called great wisdom is like a fool, it means a person like Prince Gao Dun.

A palace change that might have caused blood to flow into rivers eventually turned into elder brother letting Xian and younger brother acknowledging love. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince opened the city gate to welcome Prince Jing, but he didn't even move a single soldier.

Gao Chen brought his personal guards into the palace and saw Emperor Qing, "Father, my son is back."

Emperor Qing lay on the bed with an ugly expression, without saying a word.

Empress Zhou stood up eagerly, pulling Gao Chen up and down to look carefully, she was so excited that her tears couldn't be controlled, "Brother Chen..." In the joy and excitement, she actually called out his childhood sweetheart. Baby name, "You are back, Empress... just pretend that I will never see you again."

Princess Wuyang also stood beside her and wiped her tears, choked up and said: "Fourth brother, you don't know, these queen mothers think that something happened to you, and they cry all day long, and their eyes are almost crying out."

Gao Chen hurriedly said: "They are all sons, so the emperor and the queen are worried."

"Do you still know that someone is worried?!" Emperor Qing snorted coldly, knowing that his son must have cheated his death before, and it was not easy to expose, so he could only angrily say: "Look for yourself, what your mother and queen have done for you look?"

Gao Chen hurriedly knelt down, "My son..."

"Get up, get up." Queen Zhou quickly helped him up, and said gratefully: "My son, it's good that you come back." Then she calmed down and said meaningfully: "From now on, the whole family will be reunited and harmonious." Getting along is the best."

Gao Chen replied: "Yes, my son remembers who is his relative."

Emperor Qing slowly closed his eyes and sighed.

In the main hall, Empress Zhou, Princess Wuyang, and Gao Dun all looked at each other, knowing each other well.At this point, it is impossible for the emperor not to abdicate. If he does not abdicate, it will be a situation where father and son are against each other!It's okay if the prince refuses to let Xian, otherwise it will be brotherhood!That highest position is destined to be exclusive to only one person.

And the 12 troops outside the city don't listen to others, they only listen to Prince Jing, who has made great military achievements!
In the afternoon of that day, Emperor Qing Chan was located in the fourth son Gao Chen, who claimed to be the Supreme Emperor.Empress Zhou was called Empress Dowager, Princess Wuyang was called Princess Wuyang, and the rest of the concubines also changed their names according to etiquette.And it was the former prince Gao Dun who caught the attention of the court the most. In the end... the new emperor made him a Prince Gong.

Brother and friend respectful, expressing that he will never forget his elder brother's abdication.

All dust settled.

And the most important speck of dust in Gao Chen's heart is Xianhui.

Of course, you can't just pick up people like this, but act a whole set.First, it didn't take long for Jiangdu to send news, saying that Princess Jing was not dead, but quietly returned to Jiangdu after being caught in a fire on the road, and then under the arrangement of Shao's family, she temporarily lived in a house to hide from the world.

Gao Chen was very furious when he heard this, and ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly. At the same time, for the personal safety of Princess Jing, he brought her and the Shao family into the capital, and temporarily placed them in Prince Jing's mansion.

Everyone is puzzled by this.

It is strange enough that Princess Jing disappeared and was found by the Shao family.What's even more strange is that the new emperor had a lot of dissatisfaction with the princess before and drove her away, so why did he bring her back now?Even if the princess is still alive, she should continue to stay in Jiangdu.

Among the divergent opinions, someone vaguely guessed some holy intentions.

How similar is the death and resurrection of the princess to the new emperor's resurrection?Think about it again, the recent piles and pieces of various major events, some outlines can already be vaguely outlined.

"According to this." Princess Wuyang frowned slightly, and said to the Queen Mother Zhou: "I'm afraid that the fourth child didn't have any trouble with Xianhui, but just sent her out on purpose, otherwise, why would she get along with Xianhui?" People from the Shao family will pick it up again?" As he spoke, his voice paused, "Look at me... I always forget to change my words, now I can't be called the fourth child, I have to be called the emperor."
