The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 401 Ruthless
Ying Wang and Gu Tingye hurried back to Ying Wang's mansion.

Just now, Gu Tingye led the army into Bianjing City, quickly extinguished the Queen Mother's rebels, and went to the house by the way, forcing his stepmother, Xiao Qin, to burn the ancestral hall and self-immolate.

King Ying rushed to the palace immediately to protect his father when the rebels appeared.

The emperor's family gathered together and huddled in the palace, exactly the same as when they were forced into the palace by King Yong.

The only difference is that Song Renzong was forced to hide in the palace, but Emperor Zhao Shu did it on purpose.

Everyone underestimated Zhao Shu. This unobtrusive emperor was actually the initiator of the Queen Mother's rebellion.

The Queen Mother had already fallen into Zhao Shu's trap step by step and embarked on the road of rebellion.

Zhao Shu first deliberately proposed to the courtiers that his biological father be named emperor in order to anger the queen mother and make the queen mother feel a sense of crisis.

Later, Zhao Shu asked Gu Tingye to deliberately make some small mistakes, so that the queen mother could get a handle so that she could leave the capital and secretly hide a Qi army.

In the end, Zhao Shu created the illusion that there was no one around him to use and no army to protect, luring the Queen Mother to rebel and establish a new king.

All of this is Zhao Shu's strategy to gain power.

He was fed up with having a queen dowager behind him, so he wanted to get rid of the old woman.

The reason why he spent so much effort and put himself in danger was because the Queen Mother was his mother in name.

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, the world was governed by benevolence and filial piety. Zhao Shu didn't want to be charged with inhumanity and filial piety, so he could only lure the queen mother to make mistakes.

What mistake can be greater than rebellion.

Originally, the plan went smoothly, but Zhao Shu still ignored one thing.

That is, the rebellion is together, the soldiers are fierce and the war is in danger, and no plan can keep up with the changes.

Zhao Shu underestimated the strength of the rebels and overestimated the strength of the guards of the palace, so that the rebels almost hit the Empress Dowager.

Fortunately, Gu Tingye came to the rescue in time and led the army to arrive in time at the last moment. He shot and killed the rebel leader with one arrow, ending the game.

After the rebellion in the palace was suppressed, Zhao Shu appeared proudly in front of Empress Dowager Cao like a victor, announcing his victory.

"I am indeed not as good as you in terms of power and scheming. I am convinced that I lost, and I can rest assured that the Song Dynasty is in your hands." Empress Dowager Cao tidied up her appearance, reserved the last decency, and said:
"If you want to kill, kill it!"

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "The queen mother is joking, how dare I kill the queen mother, but the queen mother should live in another courtyard outside the palace!"

Empress Dowager Cao had a slightly surprised expression on her face, but she quickly returned to normal.

"That's right! How could you be accused of killing your adoptive mother? Your city is indeed superior to that of the late emperor, and my palace's defeat is not unjust." Empress Dowager Cao was convinced.

"It's a pity that you have calculated thousands of times, and you still missed a little bit." Empress Dowager Cao suddenly smiled and said:
"I have sent people to Prince Ying's Mansion a long time ago."

King Ying was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately thought of Minglan and the child in her belly.

Zhao Shu is also in a hurry, Ming Lan has his grandson in his belly, even the heir to the throne.

King Ying led the people back to the palace without hesitation, praying in his heart that his child would be fine.

But when King Ying returned to the mansion, he was surprised to find that the corpses in the mansion were not from his mansion.

All the rebel soldiers fell on the ground.

The closer to Minglan's residence, the more corpses on the ground.

Then he saw Wang Gang who looked like an iron tower, holding a spear, standing outside Minglan's room, blocking anyone who wanted to approach.

"Changfeng." Gu Tingye was overjoyed when he saw his friend, and ordered his subordinates to clean up the rebels.

At this moment, Wang Gang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, the cry of the baby came from the room.

King Ying understood everything in an instant when he heard the cry of the child.

"Ming Lan gave birth!"

Wang Gang was more concerned about his sister's safety.

The doctor's words soon spread to everyone's ears.

"My lord, the pregnant woman is about to die."

Wang Gang didn't care too much, he pushed open the door and ran in, followed by King Ying.

After entering the room, Ying Wang immediately saw the child in the midwife's arms, but Wang Gang was attracted by Ming Lan who was so angry on the bed.

"What happened to my sister?" Wang Gang grabbed the doctor and asked.

At this time, Wang Gang's whole body was covered with blood, and his face was full of evil spirits, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

The doctor had never seen such a battle before, and he was scared to pee immediately.

"My lord, I'm sorry, the mother bled profusely during childbirth, and I'm not sure I can save her."

Wang Gang looked at Ming Lan, and couldn't help but think of her own mother, Wei Xiaoniang. When Wei Xiaoniang gave birth to Sheng Changdong, she didn't survive the bleeding like this.

Could it be that the fate of the mother and daughter will be the same?

"I don't care what method you use, what precious medicinal materials you use, you must save my sister."

Ying Wang, who originally only had eyes for the child, finally turned his attention to the child's mother when he heard Wang Gang's words.

"Notify the imperial hospital immediately and let the imperial doctor come over." King Ying said to Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately rode to the palace.

After Zhao Shu learned of Minglan's accident, he called all the imperial doctors to Prince Ying's residence.

Ming Lan, who was originally breathing weakly, finally breathed a sigh of relief after the imperial physician took turns to diagnose and treat her.

"Third Brother, where's my child?" Ming Lan asked the child's situation as soon as she woke up.

Wang Gang walked to the bed and said, "Don't worry, the child is fine and has been taken care of by the mother."

"Is the child a boy or a girl?" Ming Lan asked.

"It's a boy." Wang Gang said, "You gave birth to a little grandson."

Minglan was finally relieved, and said: "Third brother, if Minglan can't make it this time, I will trouble you to take care of my child."

Wang Gang said with a straight face: "Say something stupid, you will get better. The imperial doctor said that you were frightened during childbirth and hurt your vitality, and you will recover soon."

Minglan didn't say anything after hearing the words, but just looked around, as if she was looking for someone.

"King Ying is not here, he went to the palace to announce the good news to the officials and the queen." Wang Gang knew what Ming Lan was looking for.

Minglan was a little sad, but soon relieved.

"Third brother, can you promise me one thing." Ming Lan said: "Don't kill Princess Ying, she is actually a poor woman."

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows, but he didn't agree.

If he hadn't arrived in time this time, Minglan would have died without a midwife or a doctor.

Regarding the instigator of everything, Princess Ying, of course Wang Gang will not let her go.

What if Princess Ying assassinates Minglan again?
Minglan seemed to guess what Wang Gang was thinking, and said, "Princess Ying harmed me only because I fell in love with a man who was destined not to love her.

Besides, if Princess Ying really wanted to kill me, I would have died more than 800 times. "

Wang Gang sighed and said: "People don't hurt the tiger's will, but the tiger hurts the heart. If you want to live in this palace with peace of mind and take good care of your children, you must learn to let go of your kindness."

Minglan proudly said: "I know that third brother will protect me."

Wang Gang had nothing to do with Minglan, and promised him that he would not kill Princess Ying, but she deserved the punishment she deserved.

After Minglan fell asleep, Wang Gang found King Ying and told him what Princess Ying had done.

King Ying's face turned green and pale after hearing this.

"Changfeng, don't worry, this king will definitely give you an explanation." King Ying said with a sullen face.

"My lord, you are welcome. You don't need to explain to me. After all, it is your own son that Princess Ying wants to harm."

King Ying's face darkened, and he finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Wang Gang left the palace after leaving a word, and returned home to check whether his relatives were safe.

Because Wang Gang had expected the Queen Mother's rebellion long ago, he gathered his family together in advance, hid them in the cellar, and arranged enough people to protect them, so no one in the Sheng family was injured or injured, and they survived the crisis safely.

In the next three days, the city of Bianjing gradually calmed down, Zhao Shu also held a court meeting, and Wang Gang, as Uncle Qingyang and Minister of the Ministry of War, also attended the court meeting.

Zhao Shu first told the courtiers that all the rebels had been taken down, and the queen mother couldn't be the mastermind of the rebels, one of the queen mother's generals was responsible.

At the court meeting, Zhao Shu announced that the queen mother had been frightened, and that she would move to live in a Taoist temple outside the city in the future to take care of herself.

Next is the reward for meritorious deeds.

Because King Ying entered the palace in time to escort him, he was named the prince by everyone's expectations.

Gu Tingye made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion and was promoted to the commander of the imperial army. He officially succeeded his father and took charge of all the military power near Bianjing.

Even Wang Gang was rewarded by Zhao Shu for rescuing the eldest grandson of the emperor in time. Not only did he bestow many valuable gifts, but he also bestowed a "command" on Hai Chaoyun.

Gaoming Madam is the conferment of the Song Dynasty on the mother or wife of a high-ranking official.

Madam Gaoming is related to her husband's official position.Having a salary but no real power is a symbol of honor.

As for Ming Lan, who gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, she was naturally rewarded, and she was promoted from the side concubine of King Ying to the crown prince's concubine.

The original Concubine Ying died because she was injured in the rebellion.

Minglan's mother valued her son, and she was promoted to the crown prince and concubine, and also the future queen.

Wang Gang promised Minglan not to kill Princess Ying, but he didn't say that he would not let others kill her.

King Ying, who is now the prince, is more ruthless than Wang Gang imagined.
