Tearing skins, really pouring dirty water on each other, it is not good for both of them, the First Prince and Zhao Hong know it well.
So this is why the First Prince didn't directly bring it up in the court, the First Prince knew that he also had something to do.
Furthermore, Song Jing's matter is enough to fight a public opinion war. If he really wants to crucify 'Zhang Yajing', it is Song Jing, and the eldest prince is not too sure.
One is that Shangshu Mansion has already been tied to King Rong. At this time, King Rong capsizes, and Shangshu Mansion will not have a good time.
The second is that this matter involved the Ningyuanhou's Mansion, and the Ningyuanhou's Mansion obviously didn't want to be involved. At the beginning, it cut off its own way, saying that its adopted daughter Song Jing had died of illness.
Now that the First Prince wants them to be Princess Zhengrong is Song Jing, will the Ningyuan Hou Mansion slap themselves on it? This is obviously impossible.
Furthermore, the empress dowager still values the eldest princess An Ding of the old lady of Ningyuan Houfu. At this critical moment, the attitude of the empress dowager is also very important.
After some consideration, spreading this matter will benefit the eldest prince the most.
The point is to take out the fact that the emperor was dissatisfied with King Rong for bullying the emperor, and wanted to drive him to the fiefdom.
Remind the courtiers and the common people that King Rong should go to the fief and should not stay in the capital any longer.
Now that the two sides are quarreling endlessly, it depends on which side has more people standing in line. The country cannot live without a king, and the queen mother falls ill.
There was news from the palace that the fifth prince, who was guarding the imperial city before, would be in charge of the country.
This news caused many people to turn their attention to the fifth prince. Thinking about this prince who has always been unknown, why did he pull his head in the two incidents.
In particular, Zhao Hong looked at him as the Fifth Emperor's younger brother, and the reason was very simple.
That day when he wanted Zhang Wenshan's son-in-law, the commander of the imperial guards took advantage of the emptiness of the capital to take down the capital. Finally, the queen mother who was able to control the harem, when he returned to the capital, no matter whether it was coercion or deceit, the queen mother would issue a letter issued by the emperor on behalf of the emperor. The paper edict was passed on to him, and everything was logical.
I don't know where the fifth prince got a group of soldiers who are not as good as the imperial guards, and the commander of the imperial guards can only stand still.
Although Zhao Hong was dissatisfied, he couldn't blame him. He left the Imperial Guard just to control the imperial city.
Moreover, the time for their return was short, and it was too late for the Imperial Guards to do anything else.
King Rong missed opportunities again and again, and his temper inevitably became irritable, and the rumors outside made him even more troublesome.
"My lord, according to my subordinates, you don't need to worry about that anymore. We have enough troops to shock those people directly and let the Queen Mother pass on the throne to you." In the conference hall, a middle-aged man in green clothes proposed , different from his elegant scholarly attire, his words are full of hostility.
Zhao Hong frowned slightly. The reason why he made those arrangements was because he didn't want to see that after he succeeded in ascending the throne, later history books recorded that he came to the throne by killing his brother and father, and was stained with countless blood.
This is a stain, no matter how many achievements he has made in the future, it will not be erased.
But now, in comparison, the Eldest Prince has a greater advantage. After all, the Emperor granted the Third Prince King Rong and let him go to the fief, and everyone in the capital knew about it.
And now the timing of the emperor's accident is too coincidental. Although they didn't say it clearly, they couldn't hold back their speculations behind their backs.
The only way for Zhao Hong now is to get the support of the Queen Mother. After a little thought, Zhao Hong made a decision.
The next day, King Rong went to the palace to visit the Queen Mother.
In the Empress Dowager's Palace, the Empress Dowager, who was rumored to be seriously ill, heard the rumors from the palace people outside that the Empress begged to see King Rong, and sneered.
She put down the letter in her hand, and said to Tang Lihua who was sitting down, "Look, I can't bear it anymore, not even the boss."
Tang Lihua nodded slightly, and did not answer, the prince was not something she could evaluate.
"Ai's family is unwell, let them go back." The queen mother drove them away directly.
Outside the palace gate, the empress and King Rong who got the news didn't look very good.
It's just that the queen mother doesn't see anyone who comes, and it's not just for him.
For two days in a row, the Queen and King Rong, Concubine Xiao and the Eldest Prince went to the Queen Mother's Palace to seek an audience.
Now the attitude of those old guys in the clan is not clear, and the Queen Mother doesn't say a word. The eldest prince and King Rong found out how they were bickering, and the final result depends on the attitude of the Queen Mother and the clan.
They all changed their targets, and what's more, some people hit the targets to Ningyuanhou's mansion.
Now that the queen mother is seriously ill, only Princess Anding is allowed to wait on her side, which shows that Princess Anding is very important. It may be useful if she can send news to the palace through Ningyuanhoufu.
But Marquis Ningyuan's mansion had been ordered by the old lady to close the mansion, and the empress dowager had sent people to guard the surroundings, so it was impossible to break in by force.
Some people in the Prince Rong's mansion focused their attention on Song Jing, and even some staff members asked Zhao Hong directly, but Zhao Hong frightened him away with a dark face.
Song Jing also found out about this, and felt uneasy. Although she didn't know much about the hustle and bustle outside these days, she knew about Zhao Hong's plan.
The trip to Taimiao was not successful, and this was also an important time, Zhao Hong was so tired that he rarely closed his eyes, Song Jing felt distressed, and was persuaded to go to Ningyuanhou's mansion.
At this time, she even forgot how she was ruthlessly kicked out, and only thought that she still had a little affection with her father. If her father and brother were willing to help a group of husbands, that would be the best. It's just a waste of time.
On the second day, after Zhao Hong went to the palace as usual, Song Jing asked someone to prepare a carriage and went to Ningyuan Hou's mansion.
It's just that she was robbed of the carriage, knocked unconscious and taken away before she arrived at Ningyuanhou's Mansion.
The coachman of the palace was thrown in the alley, and when he woke up and found that the princess and the carriage were gone, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he returned to the palace trembling.
The coachman didn't dare to delay a bit, so he told the matter to the steward of the palace.
The steward of the palace knew how much the prince valued the concubine, and his face turned blue, so he hurriedly sent someone to send a message to the palace.
After Zhao Hong got the news, his heart felt cold and his face was frosty. He and his mother were returning from the Queen Mother's Palace at this moment, and they met Concubine Xiao. .
Jing'er was taken away, and Zhao Hong knew it almost without thinking. At this time, only one person would do such a thing.
Zhao Hong looked at Concubine Xiao Gui on the opposite side with a cold look in his eyes.
Concubine Xiao Gui was hijacked, Zhao Hong didn't hesitate any longer, Song Jing was his reverse scale, and he would not be soft when the eldest prince moved Song Jing.
The next moment he hijacked Concubine Xiao, Zhao Hong ordered the guards around him to spread the news and control the palace.
On the side of the queen mother, he had worn out his last bit of patience. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Hong's mouth. The record also passes through his eyes.
Because there were backers left before, Zhao Hong's forces quickly surrounded the palace.
The sky in Beijing has changed.
Because of Song Jing, the civil war turned into a martial war.
And Zhao Hong also knows the importance of time, he can only besiege the palace for a while, as long as the queen mother's imperial edict comes out, he can justifiably ascend to the throne.
At that time, the siege of the palace was only done because of the comfort of the empress dowager and the comfort of the empress in the palace.
The mutation happened too fast, just as Song Jing was captured here, and before he started threatening Zhao Hong, the First Prince received the news.
Furious in his heart, the eldest prince's face sank like water, "How dare he? How dare he?"
The eldest prince mobilized the guards to go to the palace on the spot, as well as the ministers, but the palace gates were closed. They only said that the queen mother's illness was caused by someone. King Rong was worried that there would be thieves with ulterior motives, so he closed the palace gates.
No matter how angry the eldest prince is, he can only wait outside.
In the harem, he asked the guards to watch Concubine Xiao, Zhao Hong and the queen went straight to the Queen Mother's palace, this time he was not humble, but let the guards force his way in.
In the back hall, the Empress Dowager took the seat with a pale face. Princess Anding held a medicine bowl in her hand and was feeding the Empress Dowager medicine.
King Rong and the Queen walked in the front, and guards with swords behind them. This kind of battle scared the palace people to retreat.
But the empress dowager and Tang Lihua didn't notice it at all, they fed the other and drank it, very peacefully.
King Rong's eyes were dark, he strode forward, stopped when he got close to Tang Lihua, and stretched out his hand, "Let me serve the emperor's grandmother."
Tang Lihua stopped her hands, looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and moved the medicine bowl lightly in her hand. The next moment Tang Lihua let go, the medicine bowl hit the ground, and the medicine juice splashed all over King Rong's clothes.
King Rong frowned, and looked at Tang Lihua with sharp eyes like a sword.
Tang Lihua seemed to have never heard of it, and said to the Queen Mother with a smile, "Queen Mother, my wife is getting old and her hands are not stable. Don't blame the Queen Mother."
A smile flashed in the queen mother's eyes, "You, you, have the same temperament as before, and it has not changed for decades."
Tang Lihua smiled and said nothing.
When the two were talking, they completely ignored the completely darkened King Rong.
The anger slowly accumulated in King Rong's heart, he smiled suddenly, and stopped beating around the bush, "Grandma, don't waste time, now that the father is gone, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the grandmother probably doesn't want to see the foundation of the country shaken. Are you tired?"
Zhao Hong stared into the Queen Mother's eyes, showing his ambition unreservedly for the first time.
There was no smile in the queen mother's eyes, and the power on her body was full, "Then King Rong told the Ai family, who can take the throne now?"
Before Zhao Hong could speak, the queen couldn't bear it any longer. She jumped out, "Of course it's my son! My son's celestial appearance will definitely be worn as a dragon robe."
The queen mother sneered, "Just because he, a rebel who killed his father, dares to talk about the throne in fear, is really a big joke in the world."
