My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 306: How can Wang Jingxing be an enemy if the old thief Zhuge is not around?

Come again?

Wen and Wu who had not yet come forward in the main hall stared blankly at these important ministers in the court. They were all direct descendants of King Xia.

"Bold!"

In the queue of civil servants on the left, Qin Tongwen, Minister of the Ministry of War, walked out quickly and looked at Wang Lang, Zheng He, Guo Jia and others with an angry look on his face.

"You are the humerus of the Yan State and important ministers of the emperor. How can you force the emperor to concubine him?"

Dong Zhuo had a blood exchange in the DPRK, but there were still a small number of old officials who were nostalgic. Qin Tong heard that he was still standing here just to calm the hearts of those old officials of the Yan State. After all, the death of high-ranking officials also represents some of them. A wealthy family.

When he first took over, Su Chen had to maintain stability so that he could march southward to the Central Plains with peace of mind. As long as these veterans stayed honest, he would treat them as if they were retiring in the court.

"Qin Shangshu is such a powerful official."

Zheng Heping was usually amiable, but that varied from person to person. It did not mean that he did not have the gloomy murderous aura of an ordinary eunuch. He put his hands behind his back, turned his face slightly, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Our family and all the civil and military officials are serving the common people of the world. For the sake of well-being, Qin Shangshu stood up to stop it, is he trying to make enemies of the people of the world?"

Guo Jia and Li Bai standing behind couldn't help but give a thumbs up in their sleeves.

The two of them didn't have much interaction with Zheng He on weekdays. They only had a few contacts. Now it was just this sentence, which showed that being the eunuch who held power next to the emperor for so many years was really not an embroidered pillow.

Qin Tong's face turned red when she heard these words. It took her a long time to say: "How can it be unreasonable? How can it be such a stretch!"

"Ha ha!"

At this time, Wang Lang laughed out loud. Seeing the opponent's attitude of not admitting defeat, the posture before the battle suddenly returned. He raised his hand to interrupt Zheng He who was about to speak.

"Qin Shangshu, let me ask where Beigong Feiyuan, the founding king of the Yan Kingdom, got his start?"

"What does this have to do with what you are doing to force the palace?!" Qin Tong had heard that the imperial censor named Wang Lang was very talkative and did not dare to take his words casually.

"Naturally."

Wang Lang shook his wide sleeves and the smile faded from his eyes, and he stroked his beard and said: "Beigong Feiyuan was not born as a general. Because of the uneven rewards and punishments of the previous dynasty, he was bad-hearted and resentful just when the Xirong entered the country. The actions of a human being can also lead to the founding of a country. My family, the king of Xia, was born in a noble house. He conquered the south and fought in the north, cleared the country, brought peace to the world, and added to the great trouble in the north that the Xirong surrendered. This majestic virtue is truly a gift from heaven!"

"You are talking nonsense..."

Before Qin Ting heard what he said, Wang Lang calmed down and looked serious, lifted up his sleeves and walked towards him: "I'm talking nonsense? Haha... Feiyuan of the North Palace of Yan State is just a border general. He took advantage of others' danger to build up this centuries-old foundation. , However, the monarch was unruly. During the reign of Yanhuangzong, there was no grain in the bad years, and there was chaos inside and outside. Fortunately, thanks to the power of King Xia's envoy Qingtian, the crisis was turned to safety, and His Majesty was able to command the nine states from the Golden Palace at a young age. However, Your Majesty is young and Limited talent and unrevealed talents are not a blessing to the people!"

"Shut up!" Qin Tong's face turned red and white when he heard the anger. He raised his hand and pointed tremblingly at Wang Lang opposite him, "It's useless for you to say beautiful words but to say heart-breaking words. You have cultivated your articles and your knowledge... "

"You know this very well!" Wang Lang was not used to him, imitating someone who took advantage of the situation to pursue him, and raised his sleeves higher: "Since ancient times, there must be decline when there is prosperity, there must be decline when there is prosperity, Yan Zuo has lasted for hundreds of years, and his energy will be exhausted. , Qin Shangshu is also a scholar, full of glory, but he is like a thief with a noble head. He sent his adopted daughter to marry a second husband, and trapped the young emperor in the throne. He seems to be a loyal and good old minister, but in fact he is greedy for the reputation of a loyal minister. I have never seen you. Such a shameless person!"

Wang Lang waved his wide sleeves and gave an impassioned final shout.

After Qin Ting heard these words, especially when her adopted daughter married a second husband, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. She shook her body, pointed at Wang Lang opposite him with trembling fingers, and stammered, "You...伱…”

puff!
The old man instantly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards, clutching his chest.Several nearby civil servants rushed over and pinched the person, while shouting at the guards to carry the person down and calling the imperial doctor to come over for treatment.

"His Majesty!"

Wang Lang watched Qin Tongwen being carried down by the guards, then slowly turned around and looked at the orphans and widows on the imperial steps.

"The Queen Mother, your Majesty is too young to live in a temple. I also implore the Queen Mother to consider the common people of the world and entrust the throne to King Xia! Wouldn't it be wonderful to retreat as soon as possible and enjoy peace and happiness." Every figure in the golden palace fell into silence. Some more civil and military officials came out and stood in the middle.

On the imperial steps, the beaded curtain swayed in front of her pretty face. Jiang Wan pursed her red lips and looked at the group of civil servants who stood up, with tears shining in the corners of her eyes. She had actually been prepared in her heart and knew that this day would come soon. .

But it was really sad to ask her son to take the Zen position, as if she was being forced into the womb.

Jiang Wan glanced at her son, who was sitting on the dragon chair and playing with his feet. She nodded with difficulty, and she had probably made up her mind. Instead of relying on the throne to tremble every day, it would be better to step down.

After all, there was King Xia's child in her belly, whether it was a boy or a girl. King Xia would not kill her mother and son so cruelly.

"Wang Yushi and Zhu Wenwu are right. Your Majesty is young and should not occupy the Golden Palace. It is not a blessing to the people, so..."

She took a deep breath and was about to finish what she was going to say when the eunuchs' loud noises suddenly sounded outside the palace.

"The King of Xia returns to the court and is greeted by hundreds of officials."

Suddenly hearing this sound, Jiang Wan looked at the palace door. She didn't know why, but she felt like the stone hanging in her heart fell, making her feel at ease.

In the main hall, all the civil and military officials left and left to make way, muttering in their hearts: "Didn't Wang Jia just pass through Longyang County? Why did he come back so fast?"

Just as everyone was guessing, a line of shield-and-halberd soldiers wearing black armor spread out from the palace road like a black python. The long soldiers raised high reflected the cold light of winter, and arrived at Chengyun Palace.

Su Chen, wearing a mountain pattern armor and a white velvet cloak, stopped the reins, turned over and dismounted, led Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and five hundred halberds, and strode up the stone steps in front of the palace.

When the guards and eunuchs guarding the palace saw King Xia approaching, they avoided him from a distance, then knelt down and bowed their heads.

"Meet King Xia!"

Su Chen untied the Xia Wang Sword and threw it to Wu Zixun. He crossed the threshold and entered the main hall. Amid the greetings from both sides, he walked straight past. A eunuch hurriedly brought in a large tiger-skin chair.

Here, Su Chen, who was approaching the imperial steps, did not sit on the big chair placed at the side. He first bowed his hands to Jiang Wan and Bei Gongshu, and then turned around and glanced at the civil and military officials on both sides.

The little emperor and the queen mother, who had their backs turned, asked: "Queen Mother, I heard that someone is forcing the palace here?"

"No...no." Jiang Wan looked at the man's back and objected softly.

"It's fine if you don't!"

Su Chen looked at the ministers and nodded, then walked to the big tiger-skin chair and sat down with a golden sword. "Gu Ke worked hard all night to come back. He was exhausted physically and mentally. As soon as he entered the imperial city, he heard what everyone said about the Zen position. What happened to Gu, is he that kind of person? He said it before in Shangwu Hall, don’t talk about it, why don’t you listen? Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise I would be picked up by you and be stigmatized, okay That’s it, let’s leave the court.”

Su Chen leaned on the back of his chair, waved his hand to let Chao Zhongwen Wudu go out, and then signaled Queen Mother Jiang Wan to stay.

"You also go out and guard."

Dian Wei and Xu Chu nodded. The former grabbed the back of Wu Zixun's neck and carried him outside like a chicken. The palace door was immediately closed by the eunuch. Xu Chu stood on the right side of the palace door and asked Dian Wei on the other side angrily: "Why, your Majesty also learned from King Wei?"

"Don't inquire about matters in the palace." Dian Wei was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Wang Lang was in a happy mood as he walked down the stone steps in front of the palace. He didn't care at all about King Xia's refusal. This was a routine procedure. It would be fine next time.

"Humph, I feel like I can compete with Zhuge Kongming again."
