Shen Jin and a few children live comfortably in the Chuyuan Zhao Mansion, but the outside is not peaceful. In the capital, Shen Zhi has not yet ascended the throne and has become devastated. The people of King Ying's son have not been able to find news of King Ying's son, but King Ying The wife of the crown prince knew what the crown prince was going to do. Although the crown prince asked her to keep it a secret, she had no choice but to tell the prince's original cronies about the current situation, but when the third person knew about it, she no longer It's a secret, Prince Ying's son went to see Chu Xiuming, and Chu Xiuming was alive in the border town, Prince Ying's son and the people he took with him disappeared, and he knew what was going on, these people had no scruples anymore.
Before the imperial court and Chu Xiuming's manpower took action against the remaining sons of the King of England, there was a complete chaos there. At the beginning, some people still secretly defected to Minzhong or the imperial court, but later, they no longer had these scruples, and left openly. , and took away a lot of food and grass left by the sons of the British prince. In addition, they started civil strife. Someone pushed Xue Qiao's son out and wanted him to inherit. But who knew that just after she was pushed out, Xue Qiao and her son died tragically in the house the next day.
Not only Xue Qiao, but even the wife of the Prince of England failed to survive. A fire ignited the Palace of the Prince of England, and everyone in the house, whether it was the hostess or the servants, was locked in the house. He was burned alive, and all the valuables in the mansion were looted.
The imperial court began to quarrel again. Some people proposed to send troops to quell the chaos, some said to be on guard against the lineage of King Rui of Minzhong, but Cheng Engong advocated dealing with Chu Xiuming, and the prime minister still kept silent, as if it was just a decoration It seemed so, but many people in the court had secretly turned to Chu Xiuming, especially after knowing Chu Xiuyuan's identity, how could Cheng Engong succeed, even if Cheng Engong was the father of the current queen.
The most important point is that the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials and even the Qin Tianjian are tacitly delaying Shen Zhi's ascension to the throne. Prince only.
Shen Jin often asks people to take her three children out, but she never leaves the Zhao Mansion herself. After all, her status is embarrassing, and she is not afraid of 10,000 but just in case, but the three children are nothing to do because no one recognizes them. Just say that they are the children of relatives in the Zhao family.
Even so, Shen Jin also knew the news from outside. Mother Zhao and the others often told her everything. Shen Jin poked Nan Nan's stomach, nodded and said, "Oh, that means there will be chaos."
Zhao Nanny replied, "Yes."
Shen Jin sighed slowly, she had never seen the concubine of the prince of England, nor the concubines of the prince of England, but she had met Xue Qiao, she is really a very beautiful person, now they are all dead, Shen Jin felt a little sad. In the final analysis, their mistake was that they married the prince of England. Some of them were not voluntary, but were given as gifts or other things. Have they ever been happy? Shen Jin didn't know, just like her mother, she didn't have any right to choose at the beginning, and she was directly carried into Prince Rui's mansion.
Zhao Momo lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Madam is too soft-hearted."
Hearing this, Shen Jin turned her head to look at Mother Zhao, smiled and said, "No, I just feel that the world is impermanent."
Mother Zhao sighed slowly, and said nothing, but Shen Jin didn't say anything. In fact, she felt that if marrying the Prince of England was their own choice, they should be in the current situation, but many people have no choice Just like her at the beginning, if Chu Xiuming is really as rumored, she has no other way, escape? Refused to marry
Shen Jin has never been so naive. She can't lift her hands or shoulders, and she can't even make a fire to cook. Where can she run away? How long can I run again. Refused to marry? She has no such qualifications at all.
Thanks to God's mercy, she met Chu Xiuming. Shen Jin sometimes felt that the luckiest thing in her life was to marry Chu Xiuming.
Regardless of whether those people died as a pity, or whether they died with guilt, it has nothing to do with Shen Jin, "In the future, whether it is Dongdong or Nannan, I hope they can marry and marry the person they like." It's the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, but Shen Jin still wants the children to have their own choices, because they have such rights, whether it is Chu Xiuming or she can do this for the children.
Shen Jin looked at the child with soft eyes, stretched out her hand and squeezed Xixi's little hand, "And I like that they can meet someone who is wholehearted." She didn't like how Nan Nan spent most of her time managing her husband in the backyard when she grew up. Because she deserves the best treatment, she also disagrees with Dongdong and Xixi having three wives and four concubines. It is not that the more women, the better. Shen Jin thought of Princess Rui. If Ruiwang If she can treat Princess Rui wholeheartedly, Princess Rui will also plan for King Rui wholeheartedly, not as she is doing now.
Zhao Momo also thought of Princess Rui, "It's a pity for Princess Rui."
Shen Jin didn't say anything, anyway, she won't let her daughter follow in the footsteps of Princess Rui. If her daughter is smart, then find someone who can let her show her intelligence; if her daughter is simple, then find someone who can protect her. Daughter wants her daughter to be a simple person for the rest of her life. When the time comes, she will tell her husband her request and let him have a headache.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Jin no longer worries. If the marriage is not good, just take her daughter back. Anyway, the husband can afford it, and they have a backer. After Chu Xiuyuan ascended the throne, these little fellows will There is an emperor's uncle, and Shen Jin's mood is much better when she thinks about it this way. There is nothing that can satisfy Shen Jin more than her children's carefree future. In that case, she can have no burden with Chu Xiuming. Traveling in mountains and rivers.
Shen Jin turned her head and looked at Zhao Nanny, she wanted to pack Zhao Nanny away, but she didn't know whether Zhao Nanny was willing or not.
In fact, Shen Jin still doesn't understand that what matters is not whether Zhao Nanny is willing or not, but whether Chu Xiuming is willing to take Zhao Nanny with him.
People in the capital are nervous, and some people who know the secret have already arranged for their family members to leave, and even sent their legitimate sons to the border towns, in order to make a good impression on Chu Xiuyuan first. There is no hope for Shizi.
On August 25th, Chu Xiuyuan's identity was announced to the world, and this time was chosen precisely because it was the death day of the former crown prince.
The affairs of the border town were handed over to Manager Wang and Manager Zhao. The defense was led by the general. General Jin followed Chu Xiuming. .
Chu Xiuming's army is as powerful as a broken bamboo. Emperor Cheng puts more emphasis on literature than military, and all the officials sent to the localities are civil servants, and the literati are the most orthodox generals. If they are orthodox, Chu Xiuyuan is the real orthodox. Scholars are naturally willing to support Chu Xiuyuan, and with the reputation of the Chu family, those generals have been depressed, with the banner of the Chu family, and Chu Xiuyuan grew up beside Chu Xiuming. Those who have led soldiers in the border towns, such as those who can only point fingers in the court, whether they admire them in their hearts or for their own plans, they all support Chu Xiuyuan more. Tied up by the rest.
And King Rui also came out, told the truth of the year, and proved that the former prince was the heir in the heart of the first emperor. Emperor Cheng said that the former prince was rebellious and unreasonable. These are all sewage. Shen Xi also publicly supported Chu Xiuyuan and led his troops to strangle the king of Ying. Shizi's remnant troops.
There was almost no resistance on the way from the border town to the capital. Even the soldiers who were trained by Emperor Cheng to be loyal to him alone did not resist, because Chu Xiuming and the others had evidence that Emperor Cheng was killed by the empress.
It only took four months for Chu Xiuming and the others to arrive at the foot of the capital. The gate of the capital was opened by Shi Yu and the others. Chu Xiuyuan had never been to the capital since he was born. The capital was very depressed at this time. Even if they knew that Chu Xiuming and the others were not hurting anyone, these people would stay behind closed doors.
Chu Xiuming was on the right side of Chu Xiuyuan, and Shi Yu mounted his horse on the left side of Chu Xiuyuan. The two protected him in the middle, and the ministers of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Rites followed behind after saluting. Chu Xiu Yuan lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Brother, what do you think the historian will write about this scene?"
"The general trend." Chu Xiuming glanced at Chu Xiuyuan and said, "The throne of the country should belong to you." What's more, they have laid out for decades and sacrificed countless talents to achieve today's victory. Many people even died. Bearing the infamy, it's just for today, and the tomorrow of the apocalypse.
Chu Xiuyuan pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that if it wasn't for what Emperor Cheng did decades ago, he might not be able to take the throne. First, there are three princes and grandchildren. Many, now he is the only one left, and Emperor Cheng is a confused person, so he took advantage of it.
"En." Chu Xiuyuan looked in the direction of the palace. His father mentioned the palace countless times before his death, and Chu Xiuyuan had a faint impression of that place in his heart, "Let's go."
The palace gate was open. Princess Ruyang and Princess Zhaoyang were dressed in sackcloth and knelt at the entrance of the palace, welcoming Chu Xiuyuan into the palace. Chu Xiuyuan dismounted, and several guards had already stepped forward to separate the two princesses. Shen Zhi also knew that the general situation was over. They were all dressed in sackcloth and removed their accessories. It was not that they hadn't thought about escaping, but when Chu Xiuming was about to arrive in the capital, the Minister of War had already sent people to surround Cheng'en Gong's mansion. The gate of the gate was even taken over by someone, they couldn't escape at all, but the queen and Shen Zhi didn't want to die, nor did they want to die, so they greeted them in sackcloth in front of the public.
Chu Xiuyuan glanced at them, then stopped looking at them again, "I want to go to grandfather's palace first." What he was talking about was Xiantai Palace, which had been abandoned.
"Your Majesty will lead the way for Your Highness." Shi Yu said respectfully.
Chu Xiuyuan nodded, and said, "Please wait until the queen returns to the palace, and no one will disturb you." The implication is to guard people.
"Yes."
Since entering the palace, Chu Xiuming has not spoken again, because he knows that Chu Xiuyuan is no longer his younger brother at this time, but the new emperor of Tianqi.
Already grown up, Chu Xiuming turned his head and looked in the direction of Chu Yuan outside the palace. From now on, he will be able to accompany his wife and children wholeheartedly. I don't know if the little lady is in a hurry.
