Lei Xiao paused as he came in, looking at Jiang Wuyang's back without moving.
She slowly turned around and asked with a smile: "Master Lei, do you have any doubts?"
Lei Xiao raised his hand and asked her to sit down.
He poured the tea and water himself, delivered it to Jiang Wuyang, and then asked: "Isn't your highness from the princess's side?"
"But I am the eldest princess of Daqi after all." Jiang Wuyang looked deeply into his eyes and answered word by word.
Lei Xiao was a little surprised and doubtful. Jiang Wuyang was the only princess who survived and got married safely from the Shunde Emperor's period.
Although he failed to keep his son, he still had a daughter after all.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, Liang Pingshu will most likely marry Lu Lei.
The marriage between the Liang family and the Lu family is a civil and military alliance, and their status and power may become the first in the capital.
But Lei Xiao was still a little confused. Was there Wen Qingzhu's handwriting in Jiang Wuyang's choice
If so, things would be different.
After thinking for a long time, Lei Xiao finally agreed.
After sending Jiang Wuyang away, Lei Xiao called the housekeeper and asked about Lei Shuo's recent whereabouts.
As soon as I inquired, I learned that Jiang Wuyang and Lei Shuo came back almost at the same time.
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the capital: What does she want to do
When the sky was bright and the sun rose, all civil and military officials were waiting in Xuanzheng Hall.
Jiang Yuanhan and Wen Qingzhu arrived at the same time and sat down.
What was different from before was that the curtain was supposed to be hanging in front of Wen Qingzhu, but this time there was nothing.
All civil and military officials looked at each other, and in the end Wei Ziying took the lead, kowtow and salute.
When Jiang Yuanhan came to terms with his situation, Lei Xiao was the first to step forward and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
"Master Lei, please speak!" Jiang Yuanhan looked emotionless.
Lei Xiao raised his head, looked at Jiang Yuanhan with a serious expression, and began to detail every crime of Wen Qingzhu.
I talked for a full hour and still didn't stop.
All the ministers were confused as they listened. Has Lei Xiao decided to become an enemy of the princess
It took about two hours before Lei Xiao stopped.
His voice was hoarse, but his tone was sonorous. When he finished, he knelt down directly and said: "Your Majesty, please demote the princess to a commoner! Imprisoned in the sky prison forever!"
Wei Ziying frowned, what on earth did Lei Xiao want to do
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch's announcement came from outside the door: "The eldest princess Wuyang has an audience!"
A figure appeared at the door. Jiang Wuyang was wearing a bright yellow dress, but his hair was disheveled. He was holding a hair crown in his hand. He walked in step by step and knelt in front of Jiang Yuanhan.
"Your Majesty! Since ancient times, no one who is not a relative or the king can be regent! Wen Qingzhu was named the eldest princess! But she is an outsider after all! What's more, the regent ordered by the emperor's brother is Fu Lie! Not her!"
Jiang Wuyang cast his gaze directly behind Jiang Yuanhan and looked at her intently.
Wen Qingzhu just smiled and said nothing.
By the time Jiang Wuyang finished his statement, it was already half an hour later.
Seeing that it was almost noon, the sun today was extremely hot. The ministers in the palace stood with their legs numb, their whole bodies aching, and they were sweating coldly and hotly.
At the end, Jiang Wuyang knelt down with her forehead on the ground. It was obvious that she would not get up if Jiang Yuanhan did not agree.
There were important officials of the imperial court in the front, and relatives of the royal family in the back.
In addition, Wen Qingzhu directly pierced the heart of the court minister yesterday, killing him on the spot.
No one knows whether he will be next.
Especially the ministers who were lower in rank than Zhu You felt even more sad. They felt that instead of living under Wen Qingzhu's power, it would be better to unite with the ministers early and force the emperor to deal with Wen Qingzhu!
As a result, the entire court, except for Pei Yu and Wei Ziying, all the other ministers knelt down and asked the emperor to deal with Wen Qingzhu.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuanhan remained unmoved.
Wen Qingzhu felt worried as he looked at the young man in front of him who was always calm and collected.
Will he handle it
About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yuanhan stood up and looked at the courtiers below: "Kneel down if you like. I'm tired, so I'll go down to court first."
He turned around and left, leaving only Wen Qingzhu still here.
The kneeling minister quietly raised his eyes and saw that Wen Qingzhu was the only one here, and his heart broke out in a cold sweat.
If the princess gets angry, I'm afraid there will be a river of blood here!
Unexpectedly, Wen Qingzhu also stood up, raised his hands and said: "Sir, please get up, I have been a life-saving grace to Your Majesty, and he will not deal with me! Therefore, you have only one way, and that is for me to die. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall was silent, and you couldn't even hear anyone's breathing.
Wen Qingzhu snorted coldly and turned to leave.
The people in front helped Jiang Wuyang and Lei Xiao up. They had knelt for so long that they could no longer stand firmly.
None of the civil and military officials dared to speak, and prepared to go to court separately.
At this moment, Jiang Wuyang called to Fan Rong: "Master Fan! Can you stay?"
The ministers looked sideways and saw that their rank was too low. Thinking of what had just happened, they felt frightened and quickened their pace and left faster.
Staying with Fan Rong were his two sons, the eldest son Fan Ling and the second son Fan Yu.
The three of them saluted Jiang Wuyang and said hello. She waved her hands and focused her eyes on the two people behind Fan Rong, especially Fan Ling.
"I heard earlier that Master Fan has two tigers. I have seen Fan Yu quite a lot in recent years, but this Fan Ling is rarely seen."
"Wei Chen has been on duty outside. His Majesty only stayed in the capital after he ascended the throne. His Highness indeed seldom sees Wei Chen, but in the future, His Highness will be able to see Wei Chen more often."
Fan Ling answered in an orderly manner, neither humble nor arrogant, but calmly and with a hint of familiarity.
His words made Jiang Wuyang very satisfied, and his eyes were full of admiration: "Little Master Fan is quite worthy of Master Fan. He speaks steadily and considerately, which makes people happy just by looking at him."
"Your Highness, you are flattering me." Fan Ling lowered his head to show his modesty.
Jiang Wuyang nodded with satisfaction, looked at Fan Rong and said, "Can I have a chat with you alone?"
"Your Highness, please." Fan Rong solemnly asked her to go out.
Half an hour later, Fan Rong sat on the carriage going home with a frown on his face.
Fan Ling couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what did the eldest princess say to you? It made you so distressed?"
Fan Rong looked at his eldest son, his eyes full of joy.
When I saw my second son, I couldn't help but frown.
But they are all sons, so it is not appropriate to favor one over the other. He said directly: "The eldest princess wants to use my manpower to break through the Fu family army and capture the princess."
"Dad agreed?" Fan Ling's heart suddenly moved.
Fan Rong shook his head: "I didn't agree, but I didn't say I wouldn't agree either. I just told His Highness that you need to think about it for a day. If this thing comes to pass, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't come to pass, I'm afraid the position may be changed to another surname."
"No!" Fan Yu suddenly retorted.
Fan Rong was angry and slapped him on the arm: "You little bastard got close to Fu Lie and turned towards them? Or have you never let go of the princess's cousin!"
Fan Yu turned away and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Fan Rong became more and more angry. Fortunately, Fan Ling was here and persuaded him: "Dad, don't be angry! Xiaoyu is just young. When he is two years older, he will naturally understand!"
"I won't!" Fan Yu turned around to refute Fan Ling seriously.
Fan Rong was so angry that he kicked Fan Yu away, almost knocking him out of the carriage. Fortunately, his posture was wrong and his force was much weaker, so Fan Yu was not kicked away.
But Fan Rong still pointed at him and cursed: "Look! Look! This little bastard! His wings have only been hardened for two years, but he dares to stop what I say!"
"Dad, don't be angry. Xiaoyu is like this. I wasn't stubborn back then, but it got better later! Just let him go out for a few years until he becomes mature and sensible."
With Fan Ling's advice, Fan Rong suddenly understood why Jiang Wuyang came to him.
"So that's it!" Fan Rong looked at Fan Yu with a complicated expression, neither scolding nor complimenting.
Fan Ling noticed something strange about him and couldn't help but ask: "Dad, don't you want to let Xiaoyu go?"
Fan Rong nodded: "After the reform and rectification of the Wucheng Military and Horse Department, it is no longer affiliated with Shuntian Mansion, but has become an independent department. It can still connect with the Dali Temple Criminal Department. Xiaoyu can get the first place in many things. According to the information, his position was specially arranged for him by the princess who trusted him."
"Are you independent?" Fan Ling looked at Fan Yu in surprise, puzzled, "Does the princess value him so much?"
Speaking of this, Fan Rong felt even more troubled: "Yes, the people the princess values have much more power than others even if they are not transferred. My father is the Minister of the Ministry of War, but Chi Yu is the one who the princess arranged to go to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. Yes, now that the princess can mobilize him, it may not be possible for dad!"
Fan Ling frowned: "Why can the princess's people be seen everywhere?"
"If this is not the case, how do you think the emperor ascended the throne safely?" Fan Rong knew that the eldest son had just returned and was not familiar with the situation in the capital, so he explained it carefully.
The more Fan Ling listened, the more frightened he became: "Isn't the emperor just a puppet?"
"Shut up!" Fan Rong quickly covered his mouth, lifted the curtain and took a look, and was relieved to see that it was a quiet alley.
He whispered to the eldest son: "You know it and don't say it. The princess doesn't want to use the emperor as a puppet. The emperor did it voluntarily."
"Why?" Fan Ling became more and more confused.
Fan Rong wrote a few words on his palm, which shocked Fan Ling so much that he couldn't close his mouth.
Fan Yu looked at all this with cold eyes, and just sneered in his heart: Dad and brother don't understand anything.
As soon as the sky darkens, the troops and horses of the five cities change their values.
The captain who was about to go off duty looked at the person and asked strangely: "Are you Mr. Fan?"
The visitor turned over and dismounted, walked up to the captain and raised his hands and said, "I am Fan Ling, Fan Yu's eldest brother. He has diarrhea today and is weak, so he asked me to come over and replace him for the night. This is his token."
Fan Ling handed over the badge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to the captain for review.
After confirming it without a doubt, the captain immediately laughed: "It turns out to be Lord Fan Ling, and you're welcome from afar! You're welcome from afar!"
The two of them exchanged polite greetings and changed the team on duty.
At this moment, the Fu Jiajun still had not evacuated the capital, and were still searching intensively.
About an hour later, Huaqing Palace received news.
Wen Qingzhu leaned sideways on the couch, looking at the books recording the Huns.
After hearing Jasmine's report, she put down her book, stared at the person in front of her and asked, "Fan Yu and Fan Rong didn't come? Did Fan Ling attack the Fu Jiajun?"
"That's right! Fan Ling's men were very ruthless. He almost died when he was targeted by the Fu family soldiers. Fortunately, the Fu family soldiers nearby gave him quick support and saved his life."
When Jasmine talked about this matter, her face was full of worry.
Wen Qingzhu began to ponder, how could it be Fan Ling
It is impossible for someone to gain Jiang Yue's trust—
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu suddenly sat upright.
She wanted to understand that Fan Rong was fine, but that didn't mean Fan Ling was fine!
He has been away from home and has only recently returned to Beijing. It is still unclear what information he has.
Wen Qingzhu immediately asked: "Then what is his method of action?"
"Assassination! From what Yang Liu said, he's very professional! On par with the royal guards!" Jasmine relayed Yang Liu's words seriously.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Qingzhu smiled: "It seems that we have caught an unexpected big fish. Go check it out and see how Fan Yu got diarrhea? The manpower deployed to protect Miao Miao earlier, this Then there will be a place for it.”
