The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"Sister Yuan, don't worry, Mrs. Zhuo Wen has recruited this morning."

Sheng Yuan hurried into the palace, the first one to go was the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager was still resting at that time, Aunt Qi received her.

After hearing her explain the reason, Aunt Qi complained with tired hatred, "She actually handed over the tiger talisman imitated by Duke Sheng's mansion to that traitor, Madam Yu!"

"Tiger Talisman?!" Sheng Yuan was taken aback, even if it was just a copy, it made her feel uneasy, "Is it a copy in the same proportion?"

Aunt Qi saw that her expression was wrong and hurriedly reassured her: "Even if it is the real tiger talisman, this version has been shelved."

"If it is of no great use, why would Aunt Yu ask for it?" Sheng Yuan did not think of asking Sheng Han. With Queen Lu's palace, it was impossible for Sheng Han to know the real purpose.

"After the queen mother got the letter, she made a special trip to ask your grandfather, Zheng Guogong, and An Guogong, and they all said that it was of no special use." Aunt Qi said in a low voice, "The queen mother has notified the cabinet ministers, the Ministry of War and the internal guards. The male Tiger Talisman is all invalid."

Sheng Yuan nodded, although he didn't say anything, the worry in his heart didn't decrease.

In her opinion, it was superfluous to invalidate the Tiger Talisman of the Duke of the Three Kingdoms, because when Emperor Jinghe came to the throne, the Sheng, Zheng, and An families completely withdrew from the army.

Even without this decree, it would be impossible for the members of the three princes to transfer a single person from the army with the Tiger Talisman.

"The queen mother guessed that the Lu family wanted to use the tiger talisman to cause trouble and lead the people to hate the court and the army, so just now they have issued an order to invalidate the tiger talisman. Even in small villages, the head of the village is responsible for announcing the notice. go down."

"Auntie is very thoughtful." Sheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, the Queen Mother Qin's arrangement has been made very well.

"Sister Yuan, what I said may be a bit arrogant, but I'm just unhappy if I don't say it." Although Aunt Qi said this, there was no hesitation on her expression, "We will discuss the marriage in the next few days. The Queen Mother likes Princess Yuanning. If possible, I will Can you support her when she votes in court?"

"!!!" Sheng Yuan didn't expect the news he heard to be so explosive.

Unexpectedly, she even caught up with the queen!

"Of course!" Sheng Yuan's mind was in a mess, but he readily agreed.

If you think about it, it's a good idea.

Regardless of the fact that Princess Yuanning is a girl, as the only surviving heir of Emperor Jinghe, Princess Yuanning is indeed the most qualified to succeed to the throne.

However, if you look at the royal family, the ones who are more qualified are...

"Auntie, I also have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not."

Seeing Sheng Yuan's eyeballs rolling around, Aunt Qi guessed what she was thinking: "You want to ask Princess Yongping?"

Sheng Yuan nodded lightly: "Although we are close, but this time is unusual, if my aunt pushes Princess Yuanning to succeed, I'm afraid she will think too much, if it's appropriate...Princess Yongping's grandfather is Chen Mo God!"

More importantly, Princess Yongping's father was the first prince of the Chengyuan Dynasty, not an abandoned prince!
No matter how much conflict Emperor Chengyuan had with this son, as long as Emperor Chengyuan did not remove the title of Prince Huaiyan, he was the prince.

The difference between the former prince and the deposed prince is too great!
How could it be possible for Princess Yongping, who has such a double status bonus, to be willing to be inferior to Princess Yuanning?
We are all princesses, and we are more capable than each other, but it turns out that the other is the one who succeeds us. It is difficult for everyone.

Aunt Qi looked toward the inner room and whispered: "Princess Yongping is good, but she is too cold... The royal family has suffered great changes, but she does not show sadness, but fights over everything. The Queen Mother does not like this."

Sheng Yuan nodded.

She didn't want to get involved in the actual battle between the superiors, as long as she knew where to stand, it was enough.

Selfishly speaking, she is indeed more inclined to Princess Yuanning, after all, her sister and Princess Yuanning are closer.

It will be easier for the niece to inherit Prince Hui's palace in the future if her own aunt becomes the emperor.

"Aunt, what are you going to do with Sheng Han?" Sheng Yuan thought of this before leaving the palace.

"The Queen Mother will definitely not tolerate her." Aunt Qi shook her head and warned in a low voice, "Don't forget to tell the two Sheng Guogongs that the family should not intercede for her. The Queen Mother is having a hard time enduring it now."

It is said that women are weak but mothers are strong, and the pain of losing their children and grandchildren always bites the Queen Mother Qin. It is not easy for her to control her emotions and discuss various matters with courtiers.

At this moment, the Queen Mother Qin is an active volcano, which may erupt at any time.

……

"It's so deceiving!" Sheng Yuan saw An Yu approaching from a distance as soon as he left the palace. As soon as the two met, he began to complain.

"Why is it so difficult to welcome Uncle, Aunt, and the others back to Beijing! It's better for them to be stable right now, but they need to be large in scale and have proper specifications! With their efficiency, how many years will Uncle, Aunt, and the others have to wait to come back!"

An Yu's eyes were red with anger, he slammed his fist on the table, and growled: "It's a grievance to my uncle and aunt not to be able to enter the coffin, some of them actually want to follow the example of Zhao Gao and others in secret, and want to pretend to be a royal Returning to the capital! It's unreasonable! Don't they understand that this is disrespectful!"

"The royal family is all over the place, and the court still cares about face! Who are they trying to hide?! And who can they hide!"

Sheng Yuan listened silently, and could guess what the ministers who chose to conceal the truth were thinking about.

To put it bluntly, most of the courtiers hope that the people will not take the opportunity to make trouble because they hear that the emperor has been assassinated, and the army will not be restless because the throne is vacant.

As for whether the emperor was wronged or not... he didn't know who he was.

Ministers tacitly ignored the issue.

"I want to take a group of people to the family garden without the need to transfer people from various ministries, but I don't think they will use the excuse that I am the 'Chief of the Army and Horses of Kyoto' to make me not act rashly."

Seeing him swearing and cursing and crying again, Sheng Yuan handed over a handkerchief helplessly.

"Did they say that if you resign yourself, you can leave Beijing?"

"How do you know?" An Yu forgot to cry for a moment.

Looking at the innocence in his eyes, Sheng Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "They are making trouble with their relatives right now!"

"Who?! Neighbor! Me?!" An Yu pointed at her nose in disbelief.

"Forget it! If you resign, just resign!" Regardless of considerations, Anyu just wanted to see his uncle and aunt as soon as possible.

"I'll be with you." Sheng Yuan was silent for a moment, and said something that made An Yu's eyes shine.

But happy to be happy, An Yu rubbed her eyes, wiped away the string of teardrops that seemed to never be wiped away, sniffed and refused: "Sister Yuan, things are more complicated outside Beijing, besides, I still want to find King Hui. We can’t let my uncle’s son…”

Suddenly remembering that King Hui is sister Sheng An's husband, An Yu held back her words.

"Then you go pick up the emperor's noble concubine, and I'll go look for Prince Hui." Sheng Yuan thought about going back to Prince Hui's mansion, and felt more and more that he had to leave Beijing this time.

When An Yu saw Sheng Yuan insisting on staying with him, the tears in his eyes suddenly became a little more ironic and grateful.

Next, the two had an hour-long discussion on leaving Beijing.

It's a pity that no matter how good the discussion between the two of them was, in the end, neither of them could leave the capital.
