Emperors of the Heavens: Summon the Governor of the East Factory at the beginning

Chapter 36 The Nineteenth Prince Jiang Ping enters the palace again

"If we were to say that the prince in the palace who is least likely to become emperor, I'm afraid he would be the one in the cold palace."

"Leng Gong?"

"Is what Li Shangshu said about Jiang Ping, the nineteenth prince when the late emperor was in power and the nineteenth brother of Emperor Jiang Rui?"

Li Ying's words obviously triggered some memories in everyone's minds.

For a time, many people responded in surprise.

"Exactly."

Li Ying nodded, as if she was afraid that Chu Yuan would not understand the situation, so she went on to explain in detail: "Eight years ago, a very beautiful woman was drafted into the palace. Later, because of her beauty, she was spotted by the drunken late emperor Jiang Daoshan. middle."

"But I didn't expect that one day of pleasure would also make that woman pregnant."

"The late emperor was immediately overjoyed and doted on the woman. However, the late emperor's growing love for her later did not make the woman noble, but instead brought disaster to her."

"I offended the original empress, who is now the Empress Dowager Hua."

"In less than August or September, the woman gave birth to a baby boy prematurely due to an "accident". Although she gave birth to a baby boy, he was born with a congenital defect!"

"As I got older, my intelligence became a little less clever and a little more dull than that of ordinary children."

"This is not the end yet. In the next three or four years, the woman was involved in some "framed and framed" incidents several times, and then angered the late emperor many times, and was finally thrown into the cold palace by the late emperor's order. .”

As Li Ying spoke, all the surrounding officials listened attentively, and the scene that happened a few years ago seemed to be right in front of them.

The battles in the harem were inherently cruel, no less cruel than those in the court, so when they heard the final outcome of the woman from Li Ying's mouth, all the ministers knew who they were referring to, and they felt a little sad for a while.

"The woman who was relegated to the cold palace was Concubine Qin who had a rift with the Queen Mother of China."

"And that baby boy is Jiang Ping, the nineteenth prince of the late Emperor Jiang Daoshan."

Li Ying's words echoed faintly in the attic, and after hearing this past incident, the gleam in Chu Yuan's eyes became deeper and deeper.

Concubine Qin, who had a grievance with the Empress Dowager Hua and was sent to the cold palace for many years by Emperor Jiang Rui's biological mother through insidious means...

The somewhat dull and dull Nineteenth Prince...

For Chu Yuan, such a candidate is really the best choice to turn a deer into a horse and knock on the mountain to shake the tiger!

…………

The next day.

The sky is clear and clear, and there is a slight chill in the air.

On this day in the Zhenbei Palace, Chu Yuan was dressed in a dark brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and his hair tied into a crown. He looked extremely handsome.

As usual, after Chu Yuan had breakfast in the central hall, he directly got into a luxurious horse-drawn carriage that had already been parked in front of the palace.

Today, Chu Yuan still wants to enter the palace.

But the place he went to this time was extremely private!

Not to mention ordinary princes and ministers, even some princes, if they want to enter it, they have to issue an edict to enter.

The carriage traveled slowly and soon arrived in front of the palace gate.

Today is different from the past. The Imperial Guards guarding the palace gate are all Xu Chu's trusted subordinates. Therefore, as soon as he saw that the approaching chariot belonged to the Zhenbei Palace, the captain of the Imperial Guard guarding the gate immediately gave the order to let it go.

After all, let’s not talk about the power of the current Zhenbei Prince’s Mansion and the strength of the current Zhenbei King Chu Yuan.

Just because their commander Xu Chu was a close subordinate of King Zhenbei, they were not allowed to show off in front of King Zhenbei.

What's more, the palace is still in a state where His Majesty is dead and a new king has not yet been established. Who dares to cause trouble to King Zhenbei at this juncture? !

Isn’t it that the old man is tired of eating arsenic?
Within the palace, there are many palaces and there are many palace gates inside.

Chu Yuan's chariot entered from the palace gate and passed through several inner passages. Naturally, it encountered many imperial guards patrolling the palace.

However, after seeing the carriage from Zhenbei Palace, many of the Imperial Guards chose to turn a blind eye.

When the former emperor Jiang Rui was still on the throne, Chu Yuan, the king of Zhenbei, was in tit-for-tat confrontation with the imperial power in the Cangtian Palace. The bloodshed in the imperial palace had already been spread among the imperial guards.

Such a ruthless person, if you can pretend you haven't seen it, let's just pretend you haven't seen it!
The carriage passed through the palace without any tokens. Less than half an hour later, it finally arrived at the inner court.

The center of the inner court is where the emperor lives, and further north is where the harem is.

At this point, due to the threshold of the palace gate and the architectural layout, the chariot could no longer move forward, so Chu Yuan got off the carriage directly.

"Your Majesty Cao Zhengchun, please see your Majesty!"

Chu Yuan had just gotten off the carriage. At the Zhenbei Palace last night, Cao Zhengchun, who had long known Chu Yuan's purpose today, had already stepped forward to greet him and saluted respectfully.

Behind him was a slightly plump middle-aged man with low eyebrows, fair face and no beard, wearing the clothes of a eunuch. At this moment, he saw Chu Yuan looking at him.

He knelt on the ground in front of Chu Yuan with a "pop" sound.

Several young eunuchs who were following Yang Ronghou also bowed their heads and knelt down without any hesitation.

"Slave Yang Rong, come to see the prince."

Chu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly and he did not respond yet, but looked directly at Cao Zhengchun.

"My lord, Yang Rong is an old man in the palace. He is currently serving as the eunuch in charge of the inner court. He is willing to lead the way for the lord."

"it is good."

After listening to Cao Zhengchun's explanation, Chu Yuan understood.

The harem was such an important area that even the Imperial Army could only guard outside. Chu Yuan didn't know the way to the harem. It was probably because of this that Cao Zhengchun found Yang Rong.

But this is good, as it saves a bunch of forbidden troops from breaking into the harem, causing chaos in the harem and disturbing the purity.

"Slave Yang Rong, I am willing to share the worries of the prince, do my best, and die."

Yang Rong, the eunuch in charge, quickly expressed his loyalty to Chu Yuan after Cao Zhengchun finished speaking.

Judging from the current situation in the palace, the current King of Zhenbei has been keeping a low profile for many years.

If you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster.

At such a young age, he is already a powerful person.

In the DPRK, there are now ministers of the Ministry of War, Ministers of the Ministry of Punishments, and commanders of the imperial army, etc. who are following their lead.

From Yang Rong's sophisticated perspective, such a person will definitely be the most powerful person at the top of the pyramid in this dynasty in the future.

Now, because he was the first to join Cao Zhengchun, the new chief eunuch, he had the opportunity to show his face like this.

How could Yang Rong miss it?
If he could get into the eyes of the King of Zhenbei, it would definitely be a huge opportunity for him!

"Get up."

Chu Yuan nodded.

When Yang Rong heard about it, he immediately responded to the order and stood up. He was very respectful and courteous in every word and deed.

If you want to go to the cold palace, you must first enter the harem.

The harem was originally a place where the emperor and his concubines rested. Under normal circumstances, let alone letting other men enter, even approaching it would be a serious crime.

But today, under the leadership of Yang Rong, Chu Yuan did not have any scruples and directly crossed the threshold representing the harem area.
