Chapter 526 It’s time for our Chai family to dominate the government
Xiao Meiniang then turned to look at Wang Shichong and Yuan Wendu and said: "Yu Wenhuaji is treasonous, plotting to kill the emperor and causing trouble in Jiangdu. Thanks to the Chai family and his son for protecting me. They left the city and escorted them all the way to Luoyang. Now that you have surrounded Chai Mansion, what do you want?"
As soon as Yuan Wendu heard the queen's attitude of asking for guilt, he looked at the two swords that killed Rong. Fengxiang's long-bearded old man knew how the guard at the door died. Not to mention a few small soldiers, even he, it was normal for him to be cut into two pieces with a sword if he did not respond properly. He quickly lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down on the ground. : "I heard that someone broke through the gate in the south of the city. I thought it was a thieves attack, so I led my soldiers to check. I never expected that it was the queen's carriage, which disturbed the queen's carriage. I knew the crime."
Wang Shichong also knelt down. Fall to the ground.
"My dearest lady, I am also aware of my guilt."
The old fox also saw that the bearded old man's sword strike just now was to establish his authority, and the purpose was to build momentum for the Queen's appearance.
To put it bluntly, it is killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
He knew very well that he was no match for Rong Fengxiang. Rong Fengxiang was already dead. If he was not honest at this time, he might be the next person to be beheaded.
Xiao Meiniang said: "Those who don't know are not guilty. The two beloved ministers are my important ministers in the Sui Dynasty. Please be free."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground.
"As for what happened at the city gate..."
Yuan Wendu said hurriedly: "This matter was caused by the city gatekeeper's negligence and negligence of his duties."
Xiao Meiniang and the long-bearded old man looked at each other. He waved his jade hand lightly: "Go back to the palace." After saying that, he turned around and entered the carriage.
"Mr. Feng, please excuse me."
The old man she called Mr. Feng leaned against the carriage and patted the horse's buttocks.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the wheels slowly rotated, rolling over the bluestone slabs and moving forward.
Wang Shichong and Yuan Wen both hurriedly led people to follow.
"General Chai, come with me." The curtain on the rear window of the carriage moved slightly, and then came Xiao Meiniang's cold and sweet voice.
"Yes, empress."
Chai Shen quickly gave Dong Cheng and the housekeeper Hou Ping a few words, and followed the empress's carriage towards the palace.
Both Wang Shichong and Yuan Wendu looked extremely ugly.
Earlier, they were very happy when they saw the carriage stopped at the gate of Chai Shao, thinking that they could make a fuss about Chai Shao and use this as a breakthrough point to annex the Chai family's property.
Who wanted to make a big mistake? Instead of taking advantage, the people in the city knew that Chai Shao had escorted the Queen back to the city.
Now that the Queen has testified, Yang Tong is afraid that he will be slapped in the face...
But... can the emperor be slapped in the face?
cannot.
But someone must be slapped in the face in this matter. The emperor cannot be slapped in the face, so there must be a scapegoat. Who should be the one who takes the blame?
Wang Shichong didn’t want to be a scapegoat, and Yuan Wendu didn’t want to be either.
Contrary to their thoughts, among the people watching the excitement at the door, Ren En was thinking about whether Rong Fengxiang was dead and whether the matter of contacting Song Shidao should be done.
Sha Tiannan left the scene immediately, because in addition to being a famous iron smelting tycoon in Luoyang City, he was also Dugufeng’s cousin. The fact that the Queen Empress was not retrieved by Yu Wenshang and returned to Luoyang safely, The owner of the Dugu Valve must be informed as soon as possible so that preparations can be made in advance.
Seeing the old man surnamed Feng leaving with the queen, and the Chai family members returning to the house one after another, Rong Jiaojiao remembered to go to Cui Shilang's house to ask for the body of "father". The silver-haired and charming Danmei left earlier than them.
Rong Fengxiang, one of the eight masters of the Demon Sect, was cut into pieces by the long-bearded old man with two swords. This incident had such a huge impact that she must return to the Yingui Sect immediately and inform Zhu Yuyan face to face.
……
Half an hour later.
Inside Ziwei City, Renshou Hall.
Chu Pingsheng, who was pretending to be an old man with a long beard, looked at the vast Sui Imperial Palace and couldn't help but sigh. He had been to the Forbidden City and was familiar with the imperial palaces of Qing Yu Nian Shi Qi and Qing. In the world of Legend of the Condor Heroes, I also visited the Lin'an Palace. However, no matter whether it was the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty, or the Lin'an Palace of the Southern Song Dynasty, they could not be compared with the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, the capital of the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Guang...is indeed an ancient infrastructure maniac.
"Sect Master, your disguise skill..."
You Niao Juan saw him standing in front of the palace, looking from a distance, and leaned over with a flattering smile.
The Demon Sect does not follow rules like the Taoist Sect. When the boss is moody, it is standard. If you say a word that is not pleasant to the ears, or if you do something that is not to your liking, you may be killed with a knife. I saw it today. The swiftness with which the new sect leader killed Rong Fengxiang, and the thought of the poison of the life-and-death talisman in which he was poisoned, made You Niaojuan's fear even greater. If he had the opportunity to flatter and show his loyalty, he would naturally not let it go.
Of course, this is not just flattery, it is the fact.
As the carriage turned the corner, a bookboy named Jin An got into the carriage. When Wang Shichong and Yuan Wen led people to surround Chai Mansion, even half a cup of tea was not used, and Jin An became ill. The melancholy Young Master Chai became the old man Feng Qingyang and Feng Qingyang who once had a relationship with the Xiao family in the Western Liang Dynasty. After hearing the news about Yu Wenhua and the regicide, he came out to protect Queen Xiao.
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Chu Pingsheng glared at him.
You Niaojian was very depressed when he flattered the horse and patted him on the leg. "For some time to come, you and Ding Jiuchong will stay in Luoyang temporarily and help me take care of the Queen and the Chai family."
You Niaojuan was puzzled: "The sect master wants to travel far away?"
Chu Pingsheng said nothing, but looked in the direction of Pegasus Ranch.
Yesterday, Huanwan seriously injured Xu Ziling. Although the plot is slightly different from the TV series where Xu Ziling was injured because of snatching the golden silk armor, the injury was not bad. Not to mention that Shi Fei Xuan was also injured, so Kong was present. Due to the situation, Xu Ziling will probably be taken to Lu Miaozi's retreat to seek treatment.
Huanhan should follow. After learning about Lu Miaozi's seclusion, she will most likely tell her master about it. Zhu Yuyan will definitely go to find Shi Zhixuan, so go to Pegasus Ranch to intervene. Feet are very necessary.
If he exposed his strength as Chai Shao, it would definitely attract the attention of all parties. In this case, it would be more troublesome to have fun with small tricks. After thinking about it, he decided not to show off his cards yet.
"Okay, let's go in."
Chu Pingsheng noticed that the eunuchs were bringing Wang Shichong and others, who were known as the Seven Nobles of Luoyang after Yang You ascended the throne, and Chai Shen, and he ordered, Enter the Hall of Renshou with your hands behind your back.
Xiao Meiniang is leaning on the phoenix couch, tilting her head inward. There is a palace maid on each side. Yang Tong, who is only seven years old, is sitting on a small round stool in front of the phoenix couch. His eyes and nose are red, and he has a crown. It was worn crookedly, and it looked like she had been crying.
Xiao Meiniang turned her head slightly when she heard the footsteps outside. It could be seen that she had wiped away tears, and there was a wisp of moisture at the corner of her eyes.
This is understandable.
From her point of view, the man died, and his two sons also died. Of the only two grandsons left, one was kidnapped by Wang Shichong and others, and sat on the dragon throne when he was only seven years old and became a puppet. The other one was even more pitiful. He was promoted to the throne by Li Yuan when he was only six years old and became a puppet emperor in Chang'an.
Chu Pingsheng remembered that in the official history, Yang You and Yang Tong were both in their teens when they became emperors, so that the latter became the puppet emperor for two years. He was unwilling to accept it and had the idea of revolting against Wang Shichong. However, here he was only six or seven years old. ...
It seems that not only Xiao Meiniang used characters from unofficial history novels, but Yang You and Yang Tong have also become younger.
Of course, this kind of change does not matter to Chu Pingsheng. This is the world of Heroes of the Tang Dynasty, not the world of official history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
"Wang Shichong and those people are here."
Hearing his reminder, Xiao Meiniang quickly wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, sat upright, and assumed the dignified posture of a mother honoring the world.
Chu Pingsheng noticed that when he said "Wang Shichong", Yang Tong shivered. It seemed that the little emperor was much precocious than he expected.
Tap, tap, tap...
Accompanied by light but urgent footsteps, the eunuch in red robe came in to report that not long after he left, Wang Shichong, Yuan Wendu, Duan Da, and Lu Chu , Huangfu Wuyi and others came in hand in hand.
After the ceremony, Xiao Meiniang ordered people to sit down.
The palace maids and eunuchs had already brought in the prepared stools for a few people to sit on.
Xiao Meiniang said: "After your majesty was murdered by Yu Wen's villain, I am very pleased that you have shown your heart to the Sui Dynasty and supported Dong'er on the throne."
"This is a matter of ministerial duty. , If I were not worried that Li Mi and Zhu Can would take the opportunity to attack Luoyang and shake the foundation of our Sui Dynasty, I would fight to the end with the Yuwen dog thieves in Jiangdu."
Wang Shichong hurriedly stood up and left his seat to express his loyalty.
Zhao Changwen, the minister of Huangmen, has a pair of ears that attract wind, and his eyes flicker back and forth, which is somewhat of a sly look: "What Wang Shangshu said is true. We have received many favors from the emperor and will never forget them. It is our duty to assist your majesty in governing the country and bringing peace to the country." The internal affairs are of no concern. The Queen and the Queen returned safely to Luoyang, which is really a blessing from God.”
Generals Zuo Xiaowei Yuan Wendu, Sikong Duanda, Minister of War Huangfu Wuyi and others. Then pick something nice to say.
After several people finished expressing their loyalty, Xiao Meiniang suddenly changed the subject. She looked at Yang Tong sitting on the small stool and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that you demoted General Chai's title and official position. How did this happen? What's the matter?"
"The Empress Dowager."
Yang Tong pointed at Duan Da, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a purple beard like a halberd and said: "It's... it's Sikong... The Lord advised that when Yu Wenhuaji rebelled, General Chai and his son were also on the scene, but he... not only did he not have an escort, he also... escaped first. This is a serious crime and should be executed... But in memory of the past achievements of the Chai family , can avoid death... but... should be removed from official position and title... to... serve as a warning to others."
A seven-year-old child can't speak well...
Chu Pingsheng shook his head gently and sighed in his heart.
Xiao Meiniang looked at Duan Da: "Lord Sikong, is this true?"
Duan Da did not dare to deny it, bowed and said: "It is true."
Xiao Meiniang said: "I wonder where Lord Sikong was when the late emperor was killed?"
Duan Da frowned and said: "Of course I am in Luoyang."
"Since you are in Luoyang, how do you know about the affairs of Jiangdu?"
"I am reporting this to the Empress Dowager. It is the minister and Wang Shangshu. "I knew it during the narration."
Xiao Meiniang's voice became colder: "Since Wang Shangshu said it, why did Wang Shangshu not ask His Majesty to participate in the performance, but asked you to do it?"
Duan Da had two hands. He hugged me, not afraid of the blame from the phoenix couch, and said loudly: "This is the obligation of a minister. It doesn't matter who takes the lead. The so-called law is not noble, and I... it is also for the sake of the country and the country of the Sui Dynasty."
