Chapter 261 Changing the Dynasties
Cheng Nianzhong knelt on the ground without saying a word and let the Empress Dowager Shu scold him.
After scolding for half an hour, Empress Dowager Shu was tired of scolding and stopped. It's strange to say that after shouting and scolding like this, the sultry accumulated in her heart has gone a lot and she is better.
He turned over and got out of bed. "Go, go out with the mourning family. The mourning family wants to see what the prince of the previous dynasty wants to say to the mourning family!"
Jinggu couldn't stop her, so she had to help her out with Hyman left and right. Out of the second door, Yi Yun greeted him with several bodyguards.
Hyman exchanged a wink with him, looked up and saw a man in his early 30 years old, surrounded by a man in his thirties, surrounded by a man in his 30s.
This man is tall, wearing a dark purple robe, with awe-in heroism between his eyebrows. Standing there, he feels quite outstanding. He stood close to a man in black, holding a long sword. He had a good temperament and looked very eye-catching, which made Hyman couldn't help looking more.
At this glance, I found that he was an acquaintance, not someone else, but a flowermaker Mo Zhu! She couldn't help but be secretly surprised. If she guessed correctly, the man in purple was Jiang Yu, the prince of the previous dynasty. Looking at Mo Zhu's appearance, he seems to be very close to Jiang Yu, like a close person! Now she understands the reason why Mo Zhu is in the palace, and she thinks it is an internal response for the prince of the previous dynasty.
No wonder she has always felt that Mo Zhu is not simple, but she didn't expect to have such an identity. I don't know what Ziqin will feel after knowing it!
When she was in a complicated mood, the Empress Dowager Shu over there had already opened his mouth, "Jiang Yu, it's really you!"
"Concubine Shu, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Jiang Yu greeted her with a smile.
"Princess Shu? This name is too old for the mourning family, so old that people don't want to think of it!" Empress Dowager Shu's eyes were in a trance for a moment, but they quickly became cold. "Jiang Yu, you have hidden your whereabouts for ten years. Have you come back to revenge now?"
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "It's not about revenge. I just don't want to be a mouse hiding, but I want to be a person. If I want to live less aggrieved life, I must take back what should belong to me!"
Empress Dowager Shu sighed faintly, "The mourning family knows that the mourning family's son has done something wrong to you. But now that he is no longer here, if you want to vent your resentment, come to your family alone and don't hurt others. No matter how you treat your family, there will be no complaint..."
"Madam, I'm afraid you misunderstood me!" Jiang Yu interrupted her, "I'm not afraid to tell you that the whole palace is under my control. If I wanted to do something to you, I would have ordered to kill you. Why are you deadlocked here? Why bother to ask you to come out?"
Empress Dowager Shu thought about it carefully, and her eyes flashed, "What do you want?"
"I want to get your recognition!" Jiang Yu said bluntly, "The Empress knows best what Taici is facing now. Several princes are still young, and no matter which successor, they can't really inherit the unification. The young master is easy to bully, and it is inevitable that the courtiers will not have two minds. If the court is in chaos, the world will be in chaos. At that time, it will be the people of Li who will suffer. Although Jiang Yu is not wise, he was born as a prince. He has received strict education since childhood, which is better than a child! So I came to implorge the Empress to allow me to ascend the throne and shoulder the burden of this country and society!"
Empress Dowager Shu smiled bitterly, "You have killed here, and people's hearts want to sit directly on the throne. Why come to beg for the approval of an old woman in the family?"
"Mother's words are bad! Emperor Chengzhi destroyed my whole family and chased me more than once in ten years. I really have a resentment in my heart. But Jiang Yu wants to be a benevolent king and doesn't want to repay the injustice. If I kill him like him, what's the difference between me and him? Moreover, although the former emperor took away the throne, he did not treat me badly. Jiang Yu still remembers this kindness!
On the one hand, on the other hand, you are also a mother to me. I don't want to meet you.
His words were so affectionate that the tight nerves of Empress Dowager Shu gradually relaxed, "Do you really not hurt Zeer's children?"
Jiang Yu heard that she wanted to let go and solemnly raised his hand, "Jiang Yu swore here in public that he would never hurt any family member of the previous emperor. Jiang Yu will follow the example of Emperor Hongzhi and properly place every prince and princess. I raised the Empress Dowager Shu, and still respected her as the Empress Dowager! If you violate this oath, God will not allow it!"
Empress Dowager Shu knew in her heart that Jiang Yu's words were not completely sincere. He wanted to take the opportunity to clean up his charges of usurp the throne and buy people's hearts. However, this is not a good thing for her.
As long as she can save her son's blood, she has nothing else to ask for! Moreover, the general trend of her son's dynasty has gone, so what can she do if she doesn't agree?
Weighing the pros and cons, she made a decision, "Okay, I admit you and allow you to inherit the throne, but you have to fulfill your promise!"
"I will obey my mother's order!" Jiang Yu bent his knees and knelt down to salute.
The Empress Dowager has surrendered, and there is no need to fight. Both sides of the confrontation also put down their weapons and knelt down. A war for imperial power came to an end.
Half a month later, Jiang Yu's people have received most of the affairs of the palace, and the ceremony of ascending the throne is also in intensive planning. Except for Qiulu Palace and Shou'an Palace, the concubines of each palace have been moved to the side palace, which seems to be quite empty.
Although Hyman held the title of queen of the former emperor, no one came to invite her away. She still lives in Qiulu Palace and goes to Shou'an Palace every day to accompany Empress Dowager Shu and Jingun.
Jiang Yu did not break his oath and buried Jiang Shize with the emperor's specifications. Haiman was pitiful and asked Empress Dowager Shu to allow her to be buried with Jiang Shize, and Jiang Yu did so!
Haiman witnessed many things with his own eyes, and often remembered what Wen Caiqing said before his death, and his mood to leave the palace became more and more urgent. Anyway, now the rebellion has gradually subsided, and the days in the palace are getting calmer and calmer. She has nothing to worry about, so she came to Shou'an Palace and asked Empress Dowager Shu to allow her to leave the palace!
As soon as I got to the gate of Shou'an Palace, I met Lou Ming. The old emperor was gone, and the new emperor could not trust him, so he invited himself to the Empress Dowager Shu to work as an erman.
Seeing that he was in a hurry, as if there was something urgent, he greeted him and said, "Duke Lou, is there something wrong?"
"Oh, Empress, something big has happened!" Lou Ming said hurriedly, "The old slave just walked around the front hall. Guess what? I met the bodyguard and dragged Lord Yi out..."
Hyman was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lou, what's going on?"
"The old slave was also curious, so he quietly asked the palace people of Zhaoyang Hall. Oh, I don't know. I was shocked when I heard it. It turned out that Lord Yi cursed at the emperor and tore the dragon robe that the emperor had just made. The emperor was furious and said that he was going to cut off his head!"
"What?!" Hyman's face changed greatly and he ran away...
