The story of Princess Xiatang's counterattack

Chapter 454

Chapter 454

Is there something exciting to see?
Rong Li looked in the direction of the crowd curiously, and vaguely heard someone say 'the emperor is coming'.

emperor?Emperor Yingze?
When the emperors of other countries traveled, they would clean the water and splash the streets with yellow sand to pave the ground, and officers and soldiers were dispatched to clean the streets or intercept the people to prevent assassinations, troubles, etc. from happening.

Why did Emperor Yingze travel so hastily?

"A Li," Wen Wan pulled Rong Zhe to this side, "How can I hear them say 'the emperor has come out', is it Emperor Yingze?"

Wen Wan whispered in Rongli's ear, afraid that the loud voice would cause some trouble.

Just now she and Ah Zhe were strolling around well, suddenly the people around them became chaotic, startling them both, Ah Zhe protected her and moved aside, the crowd chattered about something, Wen Wan just I vaguely heard that sentence.

"I seem to have heard it too." Rongli nodded, then looked at Xia Houxiang, "Shall we go and have a look?"

Xia Houxiang nodded, he was actually planning to send Mo Yao there, but seeing Li'er's bright eyes, she knew that she wanted to take a look, so she agreed.

If you want to see it, go and see, anyway, he is there.

Gathered everyone together, and a group of ten or so people went to that lively place.

The crowded place is called Xisikou. Xisikou is not prosperous on weekdays. The emperor would pass by here occasionally on trips, and would issue orders here when the country had any major events. Except for these special moments, there were generally no gatherings here.

Now, once Xisikou gets lively, it means something big will happen.

It's really exciting to watch today. It's true what the crowd said about the emperor's arrival. At this moment, there are officers and soldiers on duty.

The people in Yingze are very orderly. Watching the bustle is watching the bustle, but they all stand on the outside in order to watch, and the officers and soldiers on guard don't need much effort.

For example, events such as crowding and stampede to see the emperor will not happen in Yingze, one is because the quality of the people is relatively high; I have seen the emperor many times, if I don't see you this time, there will be a next time.

This time, the common people in the vicinity watched the excitement, and the people in the distance didn't come over very much.

I thought it was an ordinary big event, but I didn't expect that this time they were watching a very big event.

"Why is the prime minister here?"

"I don't know, my God, such a big guillotine?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the prime minister is getting stronger and stronger, I may not even be able to carry that thing..."

The discussion in the crowd was one after another, Rong Li and Xia Houxiang looked at each other, what is going on?

In addition to the officers and soldiers stationed on the outskirts, there was a man in a yellow robe standing in the middle of the West Fourth Gate, accompanied by a servant and a group of ministers. Needless to say, this must be the Emperor Yingze.

Emperor Yingze looked young, at most in his early twenties, Rongli looked at him, and muttered, "Not as good-looking as my husband."

After finishing speaking, she looked at another place, and the words just fell into the ears of "her husband" next to her, Xia Houxiang raised her eyebrows proudly, and the big hand around her waist tightened again, it was still his wife have vision.

As far as the eye can see, an old man is carrying a guillotine, walking this way in a dignified manner.

That guillotine looked creepy, it looked like it should be made of copper, Rong Li grinned at it, the old man was quite strong.

Emperor Yingze who was standing in the center heard the movement, looked behind him, and saw the old man appearing with the guillotine at a glance. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he pointed at the eunuch beside him, "He lied to me."

That tone was quite aggrieved.

Rong Li's hearing was astonishing, when he heard this sentence, he wondered what happened to the two monarchs and ministers?
The one carrying the guillotine should be the prime minister of Yingze, who is known in the crowd, but it is really puzzling for a civil servant to appear in this way.

The old man stepped forward a few steps, put the guillotine on the ground, only heard a 'dong' sound, Rong Li rubbed his ears, the guillotine was quite heavy.

"Long live." The old man's name is Ming Xinyi, and he knelt down to pay respects.

"Pingshen." Emperor Yingze was not in a good mood, and the reason started from the fact that he retired from the court yesterday.

The prime minister of the Ming Dynasty was the elder of the three dynasties, and he assisted the three emperors of Yingze. In the early years, the old man concentrated on political affairs and assisted the emperors without considering personal problems at all. Until he was about 40 years old, the former emperor suddenly woke up. The prime minister was conscientious in government affairs , It's almost the age of [-] and I haven't married yet, so what can I do.

Then he made a decree that the Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty was usually too busy with work, and the court gave him half a year's leave, so hurry up and find a partner.

As soon as Ming Xinyi quit, he wanted to work and not to think about family, and there was no such thing as getting married.

The first emperor understood that he moved him with reason and affection, he knew that Prime Minister Ming was loyal, but the Ming family must have a queen, right?

Otherwise, how do people in the world think of their royal family? It would be too miserable to be a prime minister, and they wouldn't even let them have a family?
The first emperor had a tough attitude, Ming Xinyi was persuaded, and he found a marriage and settled the family.

Mrs. Ming is also a good lady, well-educated and reasonable. After the couple got married, they raised their eyebrows, harped and sang, and Prime Minister Ming often had a smile on his face.

The first emperor stroked his beard and laughed happily, and even twisted with him. If you get married, you will know the benefits of it, right?
After getting married, Prime Minister Ming still loves work, but he can also take care of the family. Mrs. Ming gave birth to two daughters in five years, and Prime Minister Ming also loves her very much.

But Mrs. Ming thinks it's not good. Although it's good to have two girls, you have to have roots, right?
If she didn't give birth to a boy, wouldn't the old Ming family's incense be cut off?
Therefore, before Prime Minister Ming felt anything wrong, Mrs. Ming blamed herself.

How to give birth to a son has become the goal of Mrs. Ming's struggle.

It's worrying, it's getting thinner and thinner, and a lot of hair is falling out.

Prime Minister Ming knew the crux of the problem when he asked, he said indifferently, if he doesn't have a son, the big deal is to recruit a son-in-law, and besides, he is not in a hurry if he doesn't have a son, why is she in such a hurry?
Mrs. Ming thought so too, it was useless for her to be in a hurry, since the master didn't blame her, let's do it first, anyway, she is still young, let's see if she can conceive in the future.

Mrs. Ming is ten years younger than Prime Minister Ming, so her body is naturally not bad. This is not the third child who is a boy in one fell swoop, so Mrs. Ming can be regarded as relieved.

The youngest son's name is Mingyou, and he has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. He can read and write at the age of three, and he is even more talented when he is seven or eight years old. However, Prime Minister Ming and his wife are very happy.

Time flies, and many years have passed, Mingyou has also served as an official in the court, and he is a second-rank cabinet bachelor, and his speech in the court is quite important.

Prime Minister Ming felt that he was too old, and wanted to resign from his post and retire.

It is inappropriate for him to occupy the position of prime minister, and the young man must be given a chance.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Ming proposed to the emperor the idea of ​​retiring from old age and returning to the land.

The new emperor of Yingze is named Nangong Yi. When he heard that the old prime minister was about to resign, he immediately felt that it would be impossible. Everyone in the court respects the old prime minister. He will not be able to find a suitable candidate for this departure. .

Nangong Yi has been on the throne for two years, and when he was the crown prince, he had to be taught by the old prime minister, so he was naturally reluctant.

After thinking about it, Nangong Yi felt that there was a way to keep the old prime minister for a while, even if he was given another two or three years, he would be able to find someone who could take over.

Therefore, Nan Gongyi pondered for a while, and said, "Ming Aiqing, you have been loyal and good all your life, and I shouldn't have stopped you when you told your old age to return to Tian, ​​but you are no longer in Beijing. If your family Mingyou has a second heart, what should you do?"

What he meant was, you are still staying in the capital, look at your son, since you are staying in the capital, why not come to work, the imperial food is not free, right?

As a result, Prime Minister Ming's ears changed when he heard these words. He thought that the emperor would not let him retire because he was afraid that his son would rebel in the future. Can't live.

The Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty kowtowed heavily, "I understand, I also ask the emperor to move to the west four gates at the same time tomorrow, I have a way to make you feel at ease."

That's how today's Xisikou, the emperor and the prime minister gathered together.

But the prime minister came as soon as he came, what would he do with such a heavy guillotine?

Nangong Yi really didn't understand, just when he was about to ask, another person came behind the old Prime Minister, and it was Ming Prime Minister's youngest son Ming You.

At this time, he came to the front and kowtowed, "My minister, kowtow to see you long live."

"Aiqing is flat." Nangong Yi also called out.

After Mingyou got up, he looked at his old man, and for some reason, he looked at the guillotine beside him. He touched the tip of his nose, thinking that there might be something wrong here.

She flicked to the side at the moment, wondering what kind of medicine the old man sold in the gourd?

Today, Mingyou was originally going to Muxiu, but in the end he was called to Xisikou, and the emperor was there, what on earth did he want to do?
"Ming Aiqing, why did you call me here?" Not only Guangmingyou was confused, but he was still confused.

Prime Minister Ming clasped his fists together, "My Majesty, didn't you ask my minister yesterday, what should I do if my son resigns to his old age and his son has two hearts?"

"Yes." Nangong Yi nodded, didn't he just say it casually to hold Prime Minister Ming down, what does it mean to tell him this now?
When Mingyou heard it, he felt so angry, is this speaking human words?

Someone asked his father, what should your son do if he rebels?

Luckily, Nangong Yi is usually called his brother and brother, so why put him together now?
"Weichen is going to train the four sons here today, you just watch from the sidelines, the Weichen family will never have a second heart towards the court!" Prime Minister Ming spoke forcefully, with a rather ferocious expression.

Nangong Yi looked at it badly, the old man took it seriously, he had no other intentions, just wanted to keep him, maybe the wording was wrong, the old man misunderstood, he hurriedly shouted to stop, "Prime Minister, you..."

"Mingyou!" Prime Minister Ming's voice was loud and clear, which startled Mingyou and Nangong Yi together.

Prime Minister Ming didn't hear Nangong Yi's voice at all, and was looking at his son with red eyes, eyes full of grief.

"Ah... ah?" Mingyou silently took two steps back, and his answer sounded a little fluttering.

"Father has something to ask you," Prime Minister Ming pointed, "Come here."

What a joke, his old man looked like he was going to eat him, he was a fool now.

Mingyou quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "No, I can hear you from here!"
