MTL - A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination-Chapter 13 Palace change

Xiao Jingduo had to find a way to keep his status as the heir apparent. Because of this matter in his heart, he deliberately went to Gaoshoutang for a walk.

The old lady held Xiao Jinghu in her arms and listened to the maid and granddaughter with a smile. Seeing Xiao Jingduo coming in, the expression on her face was stunned, and then she turned her head away.

The three cousins ​​also stood up and saluted when they saw him coming, but they couldn't help but look contemptuous.

Xiao Jingduo is even more certain that his eldest son status is really not guaranteed.

The old lady is talking about Xiao Su: "We went to Beijing last year, although we left a lot of property for her, but without her parents' care, she will inevitably be bullied by her husband's family. She sent me a letter a few days ago, She said that her husband's family treated her harshly, and she wanted to bring her daughter to the Hou residence."

I was treated harshly by my husband, so I went to Beijing? Xiao Jingduo felt that his aunt's excuse was too ridiculous. Xiao Su is the only daughter of the old lady. She married into the neighboring village of Tongmu Village and lived fairly well. However, no matter how wealthy the Zhuang households were, they could not compare with Houfu. Xiao Jingduo guessed the truth of the matter very easily. It was clear that Xiao Su saw that both her brother and mother came to Chang'an to enjoy the happiness. She felt uneasy, so she simply reconciled with her husband's family, and then she could justifiably come to the capital to share the glory.

Others were also open-hearted, but they dared not argue against the old lady, and just smiled in response: "The old lady is very right, you are really a loving mother, and you love your daughter like this."

The old lady was flattered and relaxed. After a while, Xiao Ying came back, and the whole family moved to the side room for dinner.

Will Asu take it?"

But even if he understood in his heart, Xiao Ying couldn't say anything. He didn't care about his background, but he cared about his background the most. Falling Xiaosu's face was falling on his face.

So Xiao Ying nodded and was about to speak, but was interrupted by someone outside. A follower who reported the letter rushed in, Xiao Ying was in a bad mood because of Xiao Su, and when he saw this, he was about to scold the follower for being rude, but the next sentence of the follower stopped Xiao Ying: "Master Hou, The big thing is not good, there is something different in the palace!"

Xiao Ying said nothing, put down the tableware and left. The others sat in front of their desks and looked at each other, all confused.

What's wrong?

The female relatives whispered uncomfortably in the house, Xiao Jingduo quietly got up and walked outside the house.

As soon as he went out, he heard a faint scream of killing in the north. He raised his head and saw the direction of Taiji Palace flashing fire.

Is something wrong in the palace?

On the third day, the news of the palace finally reached the Dingyonghou House.

"...that night, it was the saint who held a banquet to celebrate His Royal Highness the King of Qin. The King of Qin crossed the river in May and hit Jiangdu all the way, blocking the former emperor in the palace. You know, how many times A few years ago, the former emperor Chen Wang abandoned the capital and fled. After crossing the river, he set up a small court in Jiangdu. Although the young emperor has ceded the throne to the sage, the former emperor, Chen Wang, is still alive, and he is a major concern for the sage today. Looking to take advantage of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, defend Jiangdu, and stand against the Rong family. In May, King Qin took the Xuantie army to cross the river. At that time, everyone knew that King Qin would probably return without success. Just paving the way for His Royal Highness. But who would have thought that King Qin actually crossed the river without knowing it, and almost captured Chen Wang. He scolded the King of Qin and the Rong family for treachery and disobedience, and then committed suicide in the palace."

The female family members around on both sides exclaimed, and several timid people kept tapping their chests for breath.

The current royal family used to be the former Taiyuan prefect Xuan Guogong, as everyone knows. The failure of the previous emperor's expedition to Goryeo caused domestic resentment and frequent wars. In the twelfth year of the great cause, the Duke of Xuan Guo fought in Taiyuan to raise his army, and he rushed into Daxing City like a god. However, the Rong family who captured the palace city did not recognize Chen Wang, but instead established a new emperor to support the ten-year-old young emperor to succeed him. The young emperor only sat on the throne for two months, and in November he took the throne, abdicated the throne, and asked the Duke of Xuanguo Rongbo to become the emperor. After a long speech to no avail, Rong Bo took over the jade seal and became emperor. In the first year of Jianyuan, the emperor feuded heroes, and Xiao Ying was also among the recipients. When the political situation had just stabilized, Xiao Ying sent someone to pick up his parents and relatives in Zhuo County in December, and Xiao Jingduo and others had the opportunity to step into the capital.

However, although the Rong family captured the capital, the country was not peaceful. Many warlords supported their troops and did not recognize the Xuan Dynasty. Among the kings, only the king of Qin had the most military exploits, and even the prince was far behind.

"The problem is here, the king of Qin killed the former emperor and pacified Jiangdu, what a great contribution! This should have been the crown prince's achievement, but was robbed by the king of Qin, how could the prince be willing to give up. Yesterday, The sage held a banquet in the palace to wash away the wind and dust for the king of Qin. The prince led private soldiers to surround the palace and wanted to take the opportunity to kill the king of Qin. Fortunately, there were many people around the king. Not only did they protect the king of Qin, but he even counterattacked, and the prince was restrained. already."

Speaking, the maid who came to deliver the message lowered her voice, looked at both sides, and then said: "What did the king of Qin do after he controlled the prince? He ordered the prince to be killed, Even the more than ten sons and grandsons of the prince have not been spared, and now the East Palace is crying constantly, and the blood is soaring! What's more, I heard that the King of Qin will force the saint to abdicate!"

"Ah!" Now all the female relatives were frightened, Mrs. Xiao held her chest and gasped for breath: "This is a crime! The younger brother dares to kill his brother, this is really... ouch I don't even know what to say, my heart is still pounding."

Second Aunt Xiao also responded, and even the sisters Xiao Yufang turned pale. Wu Junru was also shocked by the news. Seeing that Wu Junru's face was pale, the maid hurried forward to pat her on the back.

A maid from the Wu family stood behind Wu Junru and sighed: "The Rong family is a rude man from the barbarian land in Longxi, who actually did such a thing that goes against the rules. The barbarians can't be taught. "

The power of the family is huge, which is evident.

Sitting aside, Xiao Jingduo disagreed. He didn't know which of the news just now was made by the messenger, but he knew that without the permission of the emperor, who could lurk a hidden soldier in the palace ? Even if this person is the prince, it is impossible.

So, if Xiao Jingduo guessed correctly, I am afraid that the person who really wants to kill the King of Qin at the celebration banquet is today's sage!

The sage used the prince's hand to place the ambush outside the palace. If this was successful, it would kill two birds with one stone. Not only did he remove the king of Qin, who was highly skilled, he also solved the prince at the same time. As a result, I didn't want King Qin to have been prepared, and he took the salary to fight back. Based on Xiao Jingduo's guess, I am afraid that King Qin not only controlled the prince at that time, but even subdued the sage. Seeing that the situation was over, the emperor had to sacrifice the line of the prince for his own safety.

Xiao Jingduo felt that his speculation about the royal family was too vicious, he stopped and didn't want to think about it any more. It doesn't matter what happened that day, what matters is that the king loses the bandit, and the king loses the thief. Obviously, King Qin won.

Xiao Jingduo remembered that when he entered the city, he had seen King Qin from a distance at the city gate. At that time, there were a lot of personal soldiers around him, and he could only see a faint silhouette. But just this silhouette is enough to see the decisiveness and fierceness of this person. Xiao Jingduo still remembers the murderous aura of that man.

Xiao Jingduo suddenly became very interested in these royal family members, but then he shook his head mockingly. seen.

The old man is still muttering in his mouth: "It's wicked, it's a sin..."

"The dignified royal family is still like this, how can the country be governed by virtue? The sky has no eyes." The aristocratic family controls the court and public opinion, and even the maidservants of the aristocratic family are infected with the pride of the aristocratic family, dare to criticize the royal family, and even put themselves above the royal family, as if the emperor must satisfy the aristocratic family to be considered qualified.

Wu Junru just smiled at this, neither acknowledging nor refuting it, so the environment is really terrible. In just one year, Wu Junru began to get used to the attitude of the daughter of an aristocratic family over all living beings. People from the Wu family continue to comment on the current royal family: "It's okay for the men in their family to be fierce and brave, and even the women follow suit. I heard that a granddaughter of the King of Qin was particularly favored, and even brought it with him when discussing matters with his subordinates. What kind of truth is this? A woman not only meets a foreigner, but also easily sets foot in the courthouse. What is the meaning of female virtue? They can't hold their own, and they can't blame others for not wanting to marry their princess."

Old Mrs. Xiao took this seriously, Xiao Ying almost asked her a princess daughter-in-law to come back, looking at the behavior of these royal family members, she didn't want such a daughter-in-law: "That's the reason, fortunately Dalang I can handle it clearly, resign that princess, and come back with Jun Ru. It's a blessing."

Xiao Jingduo raised his eyebrows in surprise, Xiao Ying and the princess? What's going on here?

Xiao Jingduo suddenly had a strange intuition, the solution to the crisis of his own descendants, I am afraid it will fall on this princess!

The author has something to say: the palace coup went live, and the involvement of Xiao Jingduo and the royal family began~

Speaking quietly, a certain important person will appear on the stage...
