Chapter 285 Chess Piece ()

How does it feel to be a chess piece when someone charges into battle as a chess piece?
Humiliation, unwillingness, disappointment, grief and anger... Jiang Shaohua had none of these negative and gloomy emotions.

Life is like chess, and everyone is a pawn on this huge chessboard. Before you have the courage and strength to overturn the chessboard, you should calm down and deal with it.

Empress Dowager Zheng used her as a chess piece, but she didn't know that in her eyes, Empress Dowager Zheng was just a chess piece used to shield herself from the wind and rain.

When doing things in the palace, you use me and I use you. It is enough to use each other to achieve common goals.

The most important thing is that she doesn't care about Queen Mother Zheng at all.

How can you be disappointed and angry with someone who doesn't care.

The next day, Jiang Shaohua took advantage of the prince's leisure time to have lunch and whispered to the prince.

The prince hesitated and said in a low voice: "Cousin Shaohua, I'm afraid this matter will make Prime Minister Wang angry and unhappy."

Jiang Shaohua immediately used the Empress Dowager Zheng as a banner: "This is what the Empress Dowager wants. I also act in accordance with the Empress Dowager's wishes."

The prince was speechless.

The prince was actually quite wary of this overly powerful grandmother. But, after all, it was his biological grandmother who always loved him very much. Even from a political standpoint, the faction of Empress Dowager Zheng and An Guogong are also a force that cannot be underestimated.

Empress Dowager Zheng wants to use Jiang Shaohua's sword to show off her edge against Prime Minister Wang. If this can be done, she can suppress Prime Minister Wang's power...

After all, how could a young and passionate young prince be willing to be suppressed by powerful ministers?
At this thought, the prince's heart suddenly moved, and his expression also moved.

Jiang Shaohua had been paying attention to the changes in the prince's expression. When he saw this, he whispered: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I am responsible for this matter alone. I will never interfere with the Queen Mother and Your Highness."

The prince thought for a while and said: "This matter cannot be made too much, lest it be ridiculed by the ministers."

This is tacit consent.

Jiang Shaohua's brows relaxed slightly and he nodded occasionally.

She resigned and left. After taking a few steps, a familiar footsteps caught up with her: "Cousin Shaohua..."

Jiang Shaohua stopped and turned around, his eyes indifferent.

The young man stopped talking and changed his title: "Princess, please stay. I have something to say to Princess. Please come with me, Princess."

Jiang Shaohua didn't move his feet: "If you have anything to say, Mr. Zheng, it's okay to say it."

Outside the bedroom where the prince rested, there were at least six or seven eunuchs, a dozen royal guards, and three other princes accompanying him. With so many pairs of eyes staring at him, what could he say?

Jiang Shaohua didn't give him a chance to talk.

The fire in Zheng Chen's heart jumped up, but his face remained calm: "It's inconvenient to have so many people here."

Jiang Shaohua said lightly: "There are differences between men and women. This princess never spends time alone with foreign men."

Zheng Chen: "..."

Zheng Chen endured and endured, and his voice was very low: "I can guess a thing or two about what the princess wants to do. I would like to advise the princess, it is better to hide the edge of the sharp knife when it is drawn out of the sheath. In order to avoid being too sharp and hurting others and yourself. "

The words are not pleasant to the ears, but they are sincerely concerned.

Jiang Shaohua's expression remained unchanged: "Master Zheng, is there anything else you want to say?"

Zheng Chen was silent for a moment, then uttered three words in a slightly stiff voice: "No more."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zheng, for reminding me." Jiang Shaohua said unhurriedly: "I know it well, so I won't bother Mr. Zheng."

After saying that, he left gracefully. Zheng Chen was left on the spot, exhaling a sullen breath.

Right now, he doesn't have any real power of his own. On the other hand, Jiang Shaohua, as the powerful princess, acted and spoke with natural domineering and power.

This feeling of being ignored or even ignored is very bad.

A hand slapped him heavily on the shoulder: "Why, did you hit the horse's leg with your courtesy?"

Zheng Chen's mood became even worse because of this unbridled teasing. He calmly took Li Boyuan's hand and said, "Although she is young, she is the princess of Nanyang County. Don't offend her at will."

Li Boyuan glanced at Zheng Chen who was showing off, with a trace of ridicule flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Yi also came to join in the fun. These days, I am either kneeling or miserable in the mourning hall every day. I cannot talk or laugh. I am really choked up: "What are you talking about? Come and listen to me to relieve your boredom."

Zheng Chen said a few words casually and responded perfunctorily.

Wang Jin, who is not far away, has been very preoccupied recently and has not said anything.

……

Two days later, the emperor's coffin was transported out of the palace.

His Royal Highness, dressed in filial piety, was holding the coffin with heavy steps.

The young and ignorant second prince looked timid. As soon as his chubby little hand touched the cold coffin, he was so frightened that he burst into tears.

At this time, no one comes to hug or comfort me. Anyway, there was a lot of crying at this time, and the sharp cry of the second prince was mixed in, and it almost didn't attract everyone's attention.

Because everyone's eyes were looking at the girl behind the prince.

Princess Nanyang dressed in white.

It's okay to kneel in the Zhaohe Palace, but I can't tolerate meddling in military and political affairs. Now I have to go to the imperial mausoleum for a funeral. Isn't this too much? In terms of kinship, blood relationship, and identity, even if she really wanted to go, it should be Princess Baohua, so where would it be Princess Nanyang’s turn?
But Princess Nanyang just appeared in front of everyone.

All the ministers looked sideways, subconsciously looking at Prime Minister Wang.

Prime Minister Wang looked solemn, but did not make a sound.

Zhang Shangshu and Dai Shangshu didn't say anything.

A censor stood up and complained with indignation: "In the more than two hundred years since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a woman to enter the court. It is even more unprecedented for a woman to carry the emperor's coffin to the imperial mausoleum."

"What is the intention of Princess Nanyang in committing such a treasonous act?"

This impassioned speech by Censor Bian was a well-known lackey of the Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Wang suffered a humiliating loss last time, and this time he refused to come forward in person. Instructing the loyal dog under the sect to speak out, whether to bite or not, will not damage the Prime Minister's demeanor.

Immediately afterwards, another censor with a square face and big ears also stood up and impeached Princess Nanyang sonorously.

Then, a royal family member also stood up and said in the tone of an elder scolding a younger generation: "You are a girl, so you should stay in the palace to accompany the eunuch, the empress, and the princess. Where can you go in the imperial mausoleum? Go where you need to go.”

I have to say that Prime Minister Wang is really powerful. He even instigated Prince Wu'an to take action.

This Prince of Wu'an County is already over sixty years old. In terms of seniority, Prince Nanyang would have been called his cousin while he was still alive. This time he came all the way to the capital to attend the funeral, and no one knew what kind of benefits Prime Minister Wang had privately promised, so Prince Wu'an couldn't wait to jump out.

His Royal Highness, who had been prepared for this, was also a little surprised.

It's not surprising that the two censors said this. Why did the dignified Prince Wu'an become the prime minister's sword?

"I'm not surprised at all that Yushi Bian and Yushi Fang spoke out about impeachment." Jiang Shaohua glanced at him and said in a calm and sharp voice: "Prince Wu'an, as a clan member of the Jiang family, could actually say such things. It's really ridiculous and sad. ”
