Lonely non-good minister

Song Chun was naturally happy to see Song Yuan under his nose.

King Zhongshan sat down and stroked the dragon ball on the chair: "The Tingwei Mansion will thoroughly investigate the people in the East Palace, I'm afraid they won't find anything."

He knew Huo Ying's behavior very well in his heart. For more than a year, the Tingwei Mansion has investigated everything that can be investigated. If the Song Shi brothers can really be implicated, the Tingwei Mansion will definitely not sit idly by. If Ying doesn't care, it means that the Song Shi brothers really have nothing to check, and if they can't find out, they can't be killed.

This time forcing the palace to rebel, only Song Zheng and Song Jun participated in it. The former prince did not use much of his own power. This was actually digging a hole for King Zhongshan, so that he could not punish all the Donggong party, including the former prince, for the crime of treason. Stay away from Jingzhao's sons.

The king of Zhongshan has only two choices, either to let them live, to win all the Donggong Party in the name of a benevolent king to become a hidden danger to his governance, or to kill them all and leave a eternal infamy to ensure that the Donggong Party will not pose a threat to him.

Song Chun knew what he wanted to say, and he also knew that if they didn't cut the roots, they would have to spend a lot of energy on guarding against the Eastern Palace Party, so it was necessary to get rid of all the heirs of the former prince. Only in this way can future troubles be eliminated forever .

After serious thought, Song Chun said: "Huo Ying is upright, no one is more suitable for the position of Ting Wei than him, and dismissing him rashly to deal with the Eastern Palace Party will make the government and the public question the unfairness of the father. You can’t find fault with it.”

King Zhongshan didn't say a word. Of course he knew that no one was more suitable to be a Ting Wei than Huo Ying. Although he declined to do things for him several times before, he acted impartially and had a strong ability to handle cases. , just keep him, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get rid of Donggong Party.

"How is Song Yuan recovering from his injury?" He was very concerned, which is usually not a good thing.

Song Chun said: "I just went to see you, and I'm still recuperating. The imperial doctor said that I might have injured my spleen. In the past few days, I can only lie on the bed except to kneel to the spirit according to the rules."

A look of disappointment flashed across King Zhongshan's face: "Let him take good care of him, don't delay the funeral ceremony of the ancestor, go and call the third child."

"Yes." Song Chun left.

Whoever does the matter of getting rid of the Eastern Palace Party will be charged with cruelty, and he will have to go around with Huo Ying, which is very likely to contaminate himself. It is impossible for him to let Song Yuan suffer this loss.

Soon, Song Fu, who went to capture all the Donggong Party members, sent back news that except for Song Zheng who had absconded, all the others were arrested, and all those who intended to resist were put to death, and the rest will be taken back to Jingzhao for trial.

The royal family arrived one after another. King Zhongshan stayed in front of the coffin for seven days. He almost passed out without eating or drinking. Within three years, no marriage or marriage is allowed, blood of the ancestors, vegetarian food for three months, ban on drums and music.

King Zhongshan's enthronement ceremony has also been fully prepared. He changed his reign name to Hong Ming. On the second day of enthronement, he canonized his wife, Shen, as the empress, and his son Song Chun as the crown prince. In addition, the rest of the philosophers all have imperial residences.

The rewards from the previous dynasty were negotiated and decided by Emperor Hong Ming and Song Chun, but the status of the harem has not been confirmed for a long time. Empress Shen was not in a hurry to make a ruling by herself, so she asked someone to invite Xiao Shen over.

The new emperor's ascension to the throne was a great event, but Xiao Shen's attire was quite satisfactory. She came here wearing a phoenix-colored palace attire, and the decorations on her hair were also quite satisfactory, making it impossible to find any faults.

Empress Shen looked at her carefully, since Song Yuan went to Leping, the number of times Hong Mingdi went to Xiaoshen's house can be counted on the fingers, but she has become more and more beautiful, her son is so old, but her complexion is still undiminished, sincerely It's as amazing as when you first entered the palace.

"My concubine sees the empress." Xiao Shen saluted respectfully.

Empress Shen raised a smile: "Excuse me, sit down, I let you come over, it is because I have encountered difficulties, you have always been smart, you have to give me an idea."

After finishing speaking, she asked Mother Wang to hand over the canonization list: "Most of the emperor's children are born to side concubines. According to the rules, you should be given the position of concubine. But in this way, the position of concubine is vacant, and other concubines have no choice." Those who have no children are not loved enough, so it is not easy to carry them to the concubine position, it is really worrying."

Xiao Shen understands that she is testing her loyalty, testing whether she will have thoughts that she shouldn't have like everyone else just because Song Yuan has grown up.

Xiao Shen got up and knelt down unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, my concubine has insufficient qualifications and Yuan'er has no meritorious service. How dare I live as a noble concubine with my two elder sisters? Since I entered the mansion, I am your empress. Protecting, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also protecting Yuan'er, our mother and son can only live safely by relying on the Empress and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please don't lift up the concubine, the concubine's wish is to live a peaceful and peaceful life with Yuan'er , I really don't want to fight for anything, now the emperor doesn't favor concubines, I just want to have a place to live, even if it is remote."

"You are so young, why bother to say such a thing?" Empress Shen helped her up herself: "It is said that the color fades and loves to relax, but you are not yet that age. If you are willing to pay more attention to the emperor, how can the emperor be willing? Let's talk Well, when the late emperor was around, Yuan'er did a lot of things, so you have to think about your child."

Xiao Shen shook her head lightly: "The first emperor valued Yuan'er because of the emperor. Although the child accomplished a few things, they all relied on the late emperor and the emperor's influence. She is not an ambitious person. She is only a concubine I beg her to be safe, I don't dare to ask for favors, I just want to live in peace and contentment, and serve by the empress's side for decades."

After she said so, Empress Shen didn't force her, she looked at her carefully, pulled out a phoenix hairpin from her bun, and put it on for Xiao Shen herself: "You are so cautious and respectful, I am really wronged. "

"Your Majesty protects the concubine and Yuan'er like this, if the concubine still feels wronged, then she has no conscience."

She was so respectful, Empress Shen felt embarrassed to embarrass her, took her hand and sat down and said: "We are sisters of the same clan, I brought you into the house, so naturally I want to protect you, you have advised me all these years , I keep this thought in my heart."

"It's what a concubine should do, and I dare not talk about kindness."

Empress Shen smiled: "Now that the emperor is enthroned, there are many more Shen family members in the court, why did I hear that your younger brother resigned from the official position that was awarded by the court?"

"My younger brother is used to being unrestrained. He runs around all year round, thinking about doing things as he goes out, and has no intention of becoming an official."

Empress Shen sighed slightly: "You two siblings are really indifferent to fame and fortune, thanks to Yuan'er who has no ambitions, otherwise, you will hold him back."
