MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 86

While the imperial physicians were doing their best to treat Emperor Yu, time slipped away silently.

A few days later, after the third prince handled the government affairs more and more smoothly, an extremely shocking news exploded in the capital.

According to the panicked statement of the guards who came to the report, the guard of honor going to Yunguo for marriage was attacked by bandits at night. Because it was night, many guards were asleep. By the time the sentinels found out, the bandits had already killed many people.

After the guards who sent her off were defeated, Princess Jiayi set fire to the tent where she was staying in order to preserve her innocence, leaving only a skeleton...

After the news spread, many ministers made the most excuses to ask to send troops to wipe out the bandits, so as to comfort Princess Jiayi's spirit in heaven.

In addition, the papers reviewed by the third prince are also mixed with people's comments on the need to choose another person for the marriage.

After all, these people care more about whether the marriage will continue and whether the border war can end as soon as possible.

…

Emperor Yun, who was far away in the country of Yun, also learned of this matter. Although the reason given by the country of Yu was that the bandits killed the princess Jiayi, he always felt that this was a deliberate play by the country of Yu, just to prevent the princess from marrying off. Come to Cloud Country.

Thinking of this, he also lost his temper, and justly reprimanded the gang of bandits, but finally asked Yu Guo, whether the marriage should continue?

His calculations were excellent.

If the State of Yu said outright that there was no marriage, they would demand some compensation from the State of Yu on the grounds that the State of Yu had broken the contract.

It would be even better and more beneficial to them if Yuguo finally admits it while pinching his nose and intends to continue the marriage.

No matter how you think about it, they, Yunguo, will not suffer.

…

And the third prince looked at the letter from Yunguo, clicked his tongue twice, and replied casually without discussing with other ministers.

Not long after, the name of Jiang Ling, who had been demoted to the rank of a commoner, was put on the royal jade plate again, and the title of princess was also restored.

In the end, she was forced to wear a phoenix coronet and Xiapei, and went to Yunguo to marry in place of the deceased Princess Jiayi, and continued to complete the important matter of the friendship and cessation of war between the two countries.

After Yun Guo was perfunctory here, the fighting at the border completely ceased.

General Zhao, who went to support Jinzhou, sent back the troops stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and led his troops back to Minzhou.

With the contact of foreign aggression, the people of Yu feel that the haze that shrouded the sky has completely dissipated, and the sunshine that has not appeared for a long time finally shines on the ground in early spring.

But the sun was blocked by the thick dark clouds again not long after.

Princess Jiayi, who was dead in everyone's eyes, unexpectedly appeared in the palace without a sound.

Until early in the morning, when the ministers who came one after another saw that the person sitting on the dragon chair next to the dragon chair seemed not to be the third prince, the sleepy confusion that got up early was frightened and disappeared in an instant, replaced by dazed astonishment and after reacting furious.

"Princess Jiayi?!" The minister in the front row saw the man's face clearly.

The people below also recognized Jiang Ying one after another.

"This morning, I wonder if you have something important to announce?" The third prince who stood at the bottom clenched his fist with one hand, put it on his mouth and coughed lightly, then stood up and formally introduced Jiang Ying's identity: "I think you all have seen it." I see, Princess Jiayi has finally returned to the capital after going through many hardships."

"As for the supervision of the country these days, my palace has not handled many things well. I am afraid that my ability is limited. I can't bear to destroy the foundation of Yu Kingdom in my hands, so I decided to hand over the important task of supervising the country to Princess Jiayi..."

As soon as these words came out, the court immediately exploded.

Some people thought that the third prince was trying to test the loyalty of these courtiers, and they all knelt down and begged the third prince to withdraw this decision.

Others called Princess Jiayi so courageous that she dared to participate in government affairs as a woman.

Even looking at the situation, after waiting for a month, the emperor will not be able to wake up at all. I am afraid that Princess Jiayi wants to become the emperor!

They must not tolerate such things that are not good for the ancestral temple and the country!

All the ministers below have become a mess.

Jiang Ying straightened her python pattern dress, leaned slowly on the back of the chair, raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her eyes were full of indifference.

"Who is not convinced?" Her voice was not harsh, it could even be said to be a little soft.

But just such a faint voice resounded in the hall, but the minister below shivered involuntarily.

Everyone couldn't believe that this Princess Jiayi, whom they hadn't even noticed before, had such courage and aura.

The contrast was too great, and no one could react.

Jiang Ying raised the corners of her mouth, as if she was satisfied with these people's understanding of the times, "No one is dissatisfied?"

As soon as she finished her question, some more traditional veterans pointed at her with trembling old fingers, and roared, "Does the princess know what she is doing? The emperor has not died yet, and the third and fifth princes are still alive, so why do you just ask me?" A female body has come to control the court?!"

"You are a big treason! Yin and Yang are reversed! Disaster the courtiers!"

Some timid people also echoed in low voices.

Looking at the chaos below, Jiang Ying laughed, but her words were very indifferent: "Master Yu, right?"

"Come here." She didn't look at Master Yu who yelled the loudest, and directly ordered the guards with knives to drag him out, "Mr. Give him a one-year ban, without any summons, and he is not allowed to set foot in the palace."

As soon as this decree was made, the people below shut their mouths one after another, not wanting to be this early bird anymore.

Look at Princess Jiayi's aura of resigning from office as soon as she said it, they might not be able to offend her!

Not to mention the guards with knives who are always on standby outside the main hall... I am afraid that even these people have already surrendered to Princess Jiayi.

The more the ministers thought about it, the more they felt that this sudden event might not have happened overnight.

I don't know how many people in the palace are already Princess Jiayi's people, and I don't know if there are still Princess Jiayi's people in the suburbs of Beijing.

These are not the most important things.

The most important thing is that the emperor is still in a coma, and all the troops stationed in the suburbs of Beijing have been dispatched.

One is to support Jinzhou City, and the other is to be sent out by the third prince not long ago to wipe out the bandits...

So now the capital is only guarded by the Imperial Forest Army and the Wucheng Bingmasi.

But looking at the current situation, the members of the Yulin Army have probably bowed their heads to Princess Jiayi.

The ministers who thought about this clearly no longer glared at them at the beginning.

After looking at each other, these people knelt down towards their superiors one by one, "The emperor is seriously ill, and Princess Jiayi is in charge of the country. I have no objection."

They can only bow their heads first, and wait until they are out of the palace before taking pictures slowly.

And Jiang Ying was sitting on a chair, looking down at a kind of minister kneeling in front of her, her heart was not fluctuating, and she didn't even bother to raise her eyelids, "Get up, I will handle the political affairs later, and I hope everyone can help you wholeheartedly." I…"

With the unanimous yes of all civil and military officials, a major event that was said to be a power grab but not like a power grab came to an end.

When they walked out of the palace, some courtiers couldn't help but look back at the still prosperous and majestic palace, feeling that something had changed quietly...

However, they only bowed their heads to Princess Jiayi for the time being. Later, they have to contact all the important ministers with military power to discuss how to deal with such unreasonable power seizures!
