Chapter 1017: Retire with Success 1
This turn of events shocked everyone present. No one expected that the Queen Mother would be the first to attack.
Hongji seemed to understand something. He turned around and looked at Prime Minister Feng, who was about to die, with an unkind look. He did not say anything, nor did he mean to ask anyone to come to rescue him.
Lianyi raised her hand to support the new emperor's arm, slowly sat back on the high seat, and then said lightly:
"Feng Changkun, if you want to hold the emperor hostage and order the princes, you must also Let’s see if I agree.”
As soon as these words came out, Feng Changkun, who was lucky, knew instantly that the matter was failed.
"Mother..."
Hongji didn't expect that he had calculated everything, but missed Feng Changkun who was so close at hand. He was the one who just now strongly advocated holding the enthronement ceremony first, and then Come to Fengqi Palace again.
In order to ensure the safety of his mother, he arranged for the Royal Forest Guards. In order to add an extra level of protection, he also sent the Second Team of Dark Dragon Guards to Fengqi Palace to guard his mother and siblings.
But he didn't expect that his uncle, the Third Emperor, would mobilize most of his people to deal with his mother. It was obvious what he wanted to do. There was no better bargaining chip than the lives of his mother and his siblings.
He only noticed this when the leader of the Dark Dragon Guard next to him came to report, so he immediately rushed to his mother with his people.
“I am wronged!”
Feng Changkun said weakly.
"Whether it's unfair or not, someone will investigate."
Lianyi didn't even give Feng Changkun a look.
"Mother, this place is in a mess, please move to Ci'an Palace."
Hongji said immediately.
“Okay!”
Lianyi readily agreed this time. Her son became the emperor and she was promoted to the empress dowager.
"Brother, my brother and I will escort the queen to Ci'an Palace. You can rest assured to deal with the follow-up matters."
Yunshan whispered.
Lianyi nodded to Hongji. Hongji then put away the worry in his eyes. After sending his mother's Fengjia out of Fengqi Palace, he calmly waved his hand to let Feng Chang, who had fainted, be taken away. Kun and Hongwu, who had no ability to resist, were taken away.
At this time, the other two auxiliary ministers appointed by Emperor Qingxiang did not dare to show their anger. They looked at each other and followed the young emperor back to the Golden Palace.
It was already noon when Lianyi led the people back to Cihe Palace, which had been decorated.
The young emperor Hongji is still very courageous. It took him ten days to deal with the follow-up matters of the rebellion in the throne hall. He killed those who should be killed, captured those who should be arrested, and copied those who should be copied. The exile was carried out simply and neatly, making the courtiers deeply aware that the imperial power had changed.
Although Lianyi changed places, he did not feel any discomfort. After arranging everything, he did what he should do and continued to keep a low profile.
Just because of the whip that knocked out Feng Changkun, Ripple became more and more mysterious in the minds of the courtiers. Some people even privately asked Marquis Anding, who was granted the title by the late emperor, if the Empress Dowager was always there. Hidden clumsiness.
What can Anding Hou say? She is not his daughter at all. He can only shake his head and say nothing. This only makes these 800-minded people think. What, he is more and more respectful to Lianyi.
Smart people have figured out everything that happened since the Empress Dowager Meng Lianyi married the former Empress, and it is extremely scary to think about it, because the ultimate beneficiary is the Empress Dowager, and now she is still protecting the Emperor's successful enthronement. , this is the real winner in life.
When Hongji went to visit his mother, he asked:
"Mother, Hongwu said that when the palace coup happened, he escaped into the East Palace and was rescued by you. Why?"
This is something he can't figure out no matter how hard he tries.
"At that time, the queen mother was injured while protecting you who were still infants. It was not appropriate to confront him head-on, so she let him go.
The queen mother knows that if your father is no longer around in the future , he will definitely jump out, after all, this position is too tempting, and it can be regarded as a stepping stone and grinding stone prepared for you in advance.
Besides, if this person jumps out, it will also attract people like Feng Changkun. Are you an important minister with evil intentions? It will be easier for you to govern if you clean up these fleas.”
Ripple said with a smile.
"Mother, my son and I still have a lot to learn. Just this planning mentality is far inferior to that of my mother."
Hongji doesn't feel at all guilty of admitting his shortcomings. What a shame.
"It doesn't matter, you still have room for improvement. The Queen Mother is very optimistic about you." Lianyi has always given priority to encouragement and praise, and has never suppressed her children excessively.
"My son, I will take note of it. If there is anything I can't decide, I will ask my mother-in-law again."
Lianyi nodded in agreement. In fact, she didn't want to worry about it, lest the courtiers say that she controlled the government.
At this time, the atmosphere was just right, but Grandma Sun hurried into Cihe Palace, saluted the two of them, and then reported:
"Your Majesty, Madam Marquis Anding has died of illness. "
After hearing this, Lianyi reacted for a while before remembering that Mrs. Meng couldn't bear it and left first.
"Why so sudden?"
Hongji asked in surprise.
"Reporting to the Emperor was not sudden. Mrs. Andinghou fell ill after the funeral of the late Emperor. Her Majesty sent the imperial physician to diagnose her pulse and also sent many precious medicinal materials. It is a pity"
Sun Grandma lowered her eyes and said.
"Mother, what do you mean?"
Hongji asked Lianyi for his opinion.
"I want to go to the palace to see your grandmother."
Lianyi touched the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looking extremely sad.
"Mother, I will arrange for someone to escort you out of the palace."
The funeral of Mrs. Anding Hou was very grand, and she really achieved the mourning and honor after death.
After dealing with this untimed bomb, Lianyi lived a quiet life in Ci'an Palace and had no intention of interfering in government affairs, which made the courtiers breathe a sigh of relief.
After Hongji got married at the age of 20, Lianyi truly became an invisible person in the harem. She handed over the right to manage the harem to the new queen. She spent every day either admiring flowers or looking at flowers. Jing, when she is interested, she will also listen to music and watch vaudeville. These are all arranged by the queen, she just needs to enjoy them.
"Lianyi, when are you going to leave?"
Shi Jiu took a peek at the progress of the mission and felt that Lianyi should be able to leave the mission plane.
“At any rate, I have to wait until my daughter is married and my youngest son gets married before leaving.”
Ripple also wanted to go back to the Space-Time Management Bureau, but there were still two little ones missing, so she was held back from going back.
"Your daughter's good news is coming, but I don't know if you are willing to do so.
Hey! There is a joint mission, I will go and compete with hand speed, see you later!"
Shi Jiu left this sentence and went offline.
Lianyi didn't wonder for long before she knew what Shijiu meant.
The Qianglang tribe, which was defeated by Marquis Anding eight years ago, slowly developed again after suffering heavy losses. Knowing that their power had been reduced too much and unable to compete with the Great Holy Dynasty, they turned around and merged into a new development. The Jackal tribe, a famous tribe in the grasslands, has emerged.
The Jackal Clan absorbed the remnants of the Qianglang Clan and conquered several nearby small groups. The leader of the Jackal Clan became king and felt that he had the power to challenge the Great Holy Dynasty, so he sent The messenger wants to marry Princess Yun'an (Yunshan) of the Great Holy Dynasty.
There are two factions in the court. One faction thinks that marrying the princess can appease the newly rising Jackal tribe, which is a good thing. The other faction feels that the Great Holy Dynasty should not sacrifice the happiness of the princess. A newly rising nation, Not enough to be afraid of.
Of course Emperor Qinghong didn't want his sister to get married, but the household department was crying about poverty again and was afraid of war, so there was a stalemate for a while.
It happened that when Jackal's envoy Ashina went to court for the second time, he brought up the matter of their king marrying Princess Yun'an, which made the young Emperor Qinghong look even more ugly.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
