The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 216
"It turned out to be the Grand Concubine Chen!"

Hearing the words, Mu Jing hurriedly possessed himself to worship, but was dragged away by the Tai Wangfei's hand, "Mr. Mu, don't be too polite."

Mu Jing had no choice but to salute and said, "What did Concubine Chen say to save the common people?"

The Crown Princess solemnly nodded, "Master Mu, do you know what happened in the court recently?"

"I've heard some."

Seeing that he stopped talking, Princess Chen continued: "Three days ago, the king of Tang sent Ding Kui and Chu's rebel army to surround Tianxing Mansion, and the Huangge Department led the imperial battalion to defend it. Unexpectedly, a thief opened the city gate and led the rebel army into the city.

"The day before yesterday Liu Ruolin and Su Pin broke through the Meridian Gate to enter the palace again, and the Huang Ge tribe committed suicide and died for the country."

She spoke faster and faster, and became excited, "Then the king of Tang led the palace guards to the Ciqing Palace, forcing the empress dowager to hand over the emperor, and moved to another palace.

"At that time, the empress dowager was sitting on the throne, she was not afraid, she was not moved at all.

The king of Tang ordered the emperor to be taken away, and the empress dowager embraced the emperor tightly, and severely reprimanded the rebellious officials and thieves.Those traitors under the king of Tang were so ashamed that no one dared to move for a while.

The king of Tang was so ashamed that he became angry, so he went into battle shirtless and fought for the Holy Majesty from the Queen Mother.How could the Empress Dowager beat him, a mature man, and the Holy Majesty was snatched away by him.

"Unexpectedly, Tang Wang only caught the swaddling baby in a panic, and the Holy One slipped from the blanket and fell to the ground... and passed out at that time."

She took a deep breath and frowned, "The emperor was finally snatched by the king of Tang, and now he is in the care of a new wet nurse. But the imperial physician in the palace leaked the word yesterday, and the Holy Majesty still seems to have not woken up.

"Now the empress dowager is forced into the cold palace, guarded by a large number of soldiers day and night, not allowed to go out for half a step, and no outsiders are allowed to visit. Tang Wang coerced the emperor internally, and relied on the Cantonese army externally. He controlled the government and covered the sky with one hand. No one in the court dared to disobey from."

Although Mu Jing knew that the two forces in the court were fighting, he didn't expect such a big commotion, let alone the king of Tang defeated the empress dowager so quickly.

"Here, Princess Chen is not here just to talk about the court situation..."

The Empress Dowager said sternly: "Yesterday, a loyal person helped the Empress Dowager deliver a letter to my concubine in the cold palace, asking me to find a way to rescue the Son of Heaven from the treacherous ministers of the Tang King.

"Nowadays, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty cannot be trusted, but I and the empress dowager are as close as sisters, so I should go through fire and water to solve this matter!

"After thinking about it, only my son, King Chen, led the army back to Tianxing Mansion in a hurry, and the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager can be rescued.

"However, at this time, all the gates of Tianxing Mansion are guarded by the Cantonese Army, they can enter but cannot exit, and no news can be sent out."

Mu Jing was startled, staring at Princess Chen and said: "You want me to..."

"The concubine was already in despair, until this morning when I learned that there was a member of the Mu family in Lijiang in the posthouse of the Ministry of Rites, I knew that the sky would never end.

"The Mu family is a local official in Lijiang, with a special status, the court is difficult to control, and has no contact with various factions in the court, and the war in Yunnan is tense, if you want to find a reason to leave, the king of Tang will not stop you.

"I also ask for the righteousness of Mr. Mu, and save the people of Ming Dynasty and the country and society from danger!"

Mu Jing looked distressed, "My Mu family is only a small border clan. I'm here to congratulate the new king on his ascension to the throne. After the ceremony, I will leave. However, the great changes in the court are beyond our small clan's ability to bear..."

Concubine Chen thought to herself that it was exactly as expected by the Queen Mother, so she replied according to the Queen Mother's previous order: "Mr. The land was in chaos, Duke Qian and Sha Dingzhou both accused the other party of rebellion, and they themselves led the army to quell the chaos.

"Today, the king of the Tang Dynasty is in power, and he must support whoever obeys his orders. Duke Qian, who has received the favor of the emperor, will never be with the king of Tang. In order to win over Sha Dingzhou, the king of Tang will definitely designate him as a peacemaker. Chaos official army.

"Sha Dingzhou's ambitions are well known to all. If they get this righteous title, how will all the chieftains in Yunnan have peace? Although the Mu family has a strong background, it is hard to say what the result will be when they face the Sha family's army."

"This……"

Seeing Mu Jing bowing his head in thought, she didn't rush him, but just watched quietly, waiting for him to make a decision.

The room fell into depressing silence for a long time, and suddenly heard the door was pushed open, Princess Chen immediately turned sideways to look outside the door vigilantly, "Who?!"

A graceful figure walked into the room, closed the door, turned around and said: "Little girl Mu Zhiqing, I have seen Princess Chen."

Princess Chen raised her eyes and couldn't help being stunned. She had seen many beautiful women in the palace, but the appearance of this woman in front of her made the word "fairy" flash in her heart.She has always been in charge of a palace, and immediately suppressed the shock in her heart, recalled the name, and hurriedly helped the woman up, "It turned out to be the second young lady of the Mu family."

Mu Zhiqing glanced at Mu Jing, "Brother, don't hesitate any longer, what Princess Chen said is very true. Although we want to stay away from court disputes, Shadingzhou will drag us into it." She lowered her voice again, "The situation in Tianxing Mansion must be reported to father as soon as possible."

She turned to Princess Chen and said: "When the situation in the court subsides, I hope you can plead with the Queen Mother to mobilize troops to wipe out the Shadingzhou rebels as soon as possible."

"I promise you."

The three of them discussed the details again in the room, Princess Chen left a token and left in a hurry.When she walked out of a street, Fang Jue's back was sweating continuously. If the Mu family wanted to vote for the king of Tang, the Chen Palace would be in great trouble.

……

Zhu Yu'ao turned around Fengtianmen, only feeling in a good mood.In the past two days, he has regained the feeling of pointing the country when he was the supervisor of the country, no, it is even more enjoyable than then!All matters are decided by him, and none of the ministers dare to follow his will.

This is power.

Supreme power!
"This Wang Yan is clever." He couldn't help laughing and praised.

Su Guansheng, who followed closely behind, raised his eyelids, this Wang Yan asked the assistant king to supervise the country today, so as to reassure the people of the world.It can be seen that the assistant king is very useful for this.

Wang Yan is a sycophant, he doesn't see him when he plans things, and he comes to pick peaches when things are done.He immediately changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, there is another matter that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"It's King Chen." Su Guansheng said, "Empress Dowager Zeng called him back to Tianxing Mansion, and he should be on his way now."

Zhu Yu'ao also thought of something when he heard the words, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Su Guansheng continued: "Wang Butang hinted at the intention of His Highness, that King Chen could entrust Ganzhou to him, but he didn't see anything from him. This time he brought the meritorious deeds of expelling captives to Tianxing Mansion. If he doesn't agree with His Highness, It may lead to changes. The minister thinks that he must not be allowed to return to the capital."

"According to the meaning of Suge Department, how should we respond?"

"King Chen made a great contribution to conquering the country this time, but he has to be rewarded." Su Guansheng said, "Your Highness can follow the preface and grant Ganzhou to King Chen. Then let him follow the ancestral system and immediately become a vassal."

"Ganzhou." Although Zhu Yu'ao was a little bit pained, but he also knew that King Chen must be settled properly, so he finally nodded and said, "Let's follow Su Ge's wishes."

After walking for a while, Zhu Yu'ao saw a confidant guard coming towards him, but he was the one he sent to guard the Empress Dowager Zeng.

"Ji Cheng? But what happened to Jingxi Palace?"

The guard hurriedly saluted and said: "Go back to Your Highness, Jingxi Palace is the same." He took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "It's Pang Tianshou who wants to see His Highness, and he said he knows where the jade seal is."

"Okay!" Zhu Yu'ao was overjoyed upon hearing this, and waved his hand, "Bring him to see me immediately!"
