Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 80
In the resplendent and resplendent Jinluan Hall, officials of the fourth rank and above stood in two rows with dignified expressions.Everyone's eyes met and collided with each other, and finally they all lowered down in unison.

There is a sense of oppression in the hall full of wind and rain.

Prince Mu Yunheng stood on the high platform in the hall with his hands behind his back, overlooking the civil and military officials standing in the hall.

The gentleness and modesty of the past have faded away, and now he is a little more domineering than a superior.

In the silence, the young eunuch's voice came from outside the hall, "The talented lady is here!"

The eyes of all the civil and military officials in the hall "tightened" to look at the entrance of the Jinluan Hall.At the entrance of the hall, Shen Cairen walked steadily into the hall surrounded by a large group of people.

Today, although she still wears the concubine title of "talented person", she is wearing a bright red phoenix robe with a picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix embroidered on the robe.There is also Futian Jinbuyao slantingly inserted into the jet-black hair bun.This kind of whole body dress is clearly the dress of a queen.

According to the rules of etiquette, she has exceeded the rules.

But right now, the entire imperial palace is under the control of the prince's people. Even if the civil and military officials have something in their hearts, they are not stupid enough to open their mouths to find fault for themselves.

Under the watchful eyes of many civil and military officials, Shen Cairen slowly climbed up to the high platform in the palace.Mu Yunheng asked people to add an official hat chair with four heads under the dragon seat, which symbolized the supreme power.

Shen Cairen flicked his phoenix sleeves lightly, sat dignifiedly and virtuously on the official hat chair, and looked down at all the civil and military officials in the hall with piercing eyes.

The whole hall was silent.

Mu Yunheng lightly clasped one hand, coughed lightly between his lips and teeth, and said in a raised voice, "My lords here, I think you also know that something happened to this king's father last night, and he is now unconscious. The imperial doctor told me that the emperor is in such a condition that he can no longer handle various affairs in the court."

When Mu Yunheng said this, he deliberately paused to see the reactions of the civil and military officials below.

It was still silent.

Shen Cairen's gaze also wandered around the hall, seeing that the crown prince had reached this point, but still no one stood up to refute him.She nodded slightly in satisfaction, then took the words of the prince Mu Yunheng and said, "All the adults who can stand here today are the courtiers who are relied on by the emperor. Now the emperor is unconscious, and all the affairs of the court are gone People have dealt with it. The affairs of the court will inevitably fall into a chaotic state. As we all know, the emperor's most important thing is the state of the country. In order to prevent the state of chaos in the country, this palace proposes here today that the emperor is in a coma During this period of time, the prince will take over the throne and help the emperor handle various affairs."

Her deep voice hit the ears of everyone in the hall, with a shocking penetrating power.

The eyes of the officials in the hall kept interlacing again.

Shen Jinfeng, who was mixed in the crowd, looked at his colleagues around with shrewd eyes, and seeing that the others did not say a word, he simply arched his hands, stood up from the queue, and said in a loud voice, "Report to His Royal Highness, Your Majesty, I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince is the one who deserves to inherit the emperor's mantle and lead our Xiliang country on the road to prosperity."

Of course, my nephew is very flattering.

The other officials said so in their hearts.But everyone thought this way in their hearts, so of course they wouldn't say it out loud.

Zhou Tao, who just took office recently, also stood up from the queue and flattered Mu Yunheng on the high platform, "His Royal Highness is famous far and wide, and he is upright and wise. Now that the emperor has an accident, let His Highness To succeed Datong, that is the most orthodox statement."

When Zhou Tao, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said this, several officials stood up in the hall, and they all echoed Zhou Tao's statement.Of course, where there are supporters, there are opponents.But since the Shen family and the crown prince are in power now, in order not to offend the mother and son, many of these people dare not speak more.

However, there are always oddities.

Li De, Minister of the Taipu Temple, stood up from the queue, with an upright expression, "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty, whoever inherits the throne is a major matter for the country, and it needs to be discussed in the long term. I feel that the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to find someone to heal first. Your Majesty, when your Majesty wakes up, if your Majesty asks His Royal Highness to inherit the throne, it must be..."

"Taifu Siqing!" Li De was interrupted by Shen Cairen before he could finish speaking.Shen Cairen frowned, and raised his voice, "Li De, the emperor's current unconsciousness is the unanimous conclusion reached by the imperial doctors after diagnosis and treatment. If there is a way to cure the emperor's illness, I will be happy. But... During the period when the emperor is still awake, what should we do with the government affairs of the court? Can you afford to delay Mr. Li by state affairs?"

Li De was stunned by Shen Cairen's aggressive words for a moment and didn't know what to say.After Li De considered it in his heart, when he wanted to speak again, the prince Mu Yunheng had already reached out and patted him lightly. At the gate of the palace, the leader of the Yulin Guard and Lu Huaiqi slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

The already depressing atmosphere in the Mandian instantly became more subdued.

At this time, Lu Huaiqi had obviously become a prisoner of the prince and Shen Cairen, but when he walked into the Golden Luan Hall with a tall and straight figure, the sunlight outside the hall poured on him, casting a faint golden light on him , he looked iron-blooded and domineering.

He stood still in the center of the hall, with his hands crossed on his stomach, his handsome face was full of disdain and contempt.

Not even good manners, really arrogant and arrogant.There was a gloomy knife in Shen Cairen's eyes immediately.

When Mu Yunheng saw Lu Huaiqi like this, his face couldn't help but tense.He said in a deep voice, "Lu Huaiqi, my father has always valued you very much, and entrusted you to be responsible for his personal safety. But last night...how did you let this king's father do such a thing! The king asked you to come to this golden palace today, first of all, you will be punished for the crime of insufficient escort."

Mu Yunheng's excited voice echoed in the Jinluan Hall.The eyes of all the Chinese and military officials in the palace turned around on Mu Yunheng and then fell on Lu Huaiqi.

Obviously, the prince and the others are charging Lu Huai with crimes.

Lu Huai lifted his chin slightly, and the lines of his entire face and neck were smooth and profound, "His Royal Highness, what you said is really funny. Didn't the emperor go to the yard where you live last night before the accident happened? Prince His Highness blamed Ben Du for being inattentive, and Ben Du wanted to ask His Highness the Crown Prince, what happened to the Emperor in Your Highness's yard last night that made him suddenly unconscious?"

Lu Huai stared directly at Mu Yunheng on the high platform with his dark and deep eyes, and there was a charming smile on the corner of his lips.

Obviously, the crown prince and the others were accusing him of crimes, and he also retaliated against him in the same way, and also accused the crown prince, Shen Cairen, and the others in front of all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Some of the Chinese and military officials in the palace were secretly speechless.

This Lu Huaiqi was really spoiled by Emperor Minghuai, thinking that the prince and the others would still give him face.I really don’t cry without seeing the coffin.

Mu Yunheng's gaze and Shen Cairen's gaze met in mid-air for a while, and Shen Cairen's gloomy eyes sternly gouged him, "Lu Dudu, when the emperor was awake, you relied on your A sharp mouth often confuses the emperor, so that the emperor misjudged the situation in the court several times. Now that the emperor is unconscious, you are trying to confuse people with your sharp mouth again. You are really a heinous crime!"

When Shen Cairen spoke, there was almost strong hatred. She and Lu Huai had old grievances, and there was another Shen Qingli between them.

If it was possible, she wished she could cut Lu Huai into pieces right now!
The smile on the corner of Lu Huai's mouth gradually faded, and the fox's eyes instantly swallowed everything like a vast abyss.

"His Royal Highness, Shen Cairen, on the day when the emperor was offering sacrifices to the heavens at Xiangguo Temple, His Royal Highness ordered people to put cannon fire on the altar in order to put the emperor to death. The emperor is merciful. Immediately convict His Highness the Crown Prince. If, as Shen Cairen said, this governor used to bewitch the Emperor, he should be punished. What about His Highness the Crown Prince and Shen Cairen who intend to murder the Emperor? What crime should you be punished for?"

The fierce voice slammed into the hall, and Mu Yunheng clenched his hands tightly in his wide sleeves.

Shen Cairen's hand resting on the back of the official hat chair was deeply embedded in the grain of the wood.

Lu Huaiqi raised his voice again, "Prince and Shen Cairen, if you can murder the emperor once, then you can also murder the emperor twice. The emperor was fine when he left the governor's courtyard last night. Why did you suddenly become unconscious? Your Royal Highness And Shen Cairen, are you sure you are not playing tricks? Also, Xu Fu is the most loyal eunuch around the emperor. Let Xu Fu come out and tell everyone what happened last night to make the emperor behave like this. His Royal Highness, Shen Cairen, Do you dare to call Xu Fuchuan into the Golden Palace?"

This question was more severe than a sentence, and Shen Cairen, who wanted to speak several times, failed to do so.

The back of the official hat chair was directly cut off by Shen Cairen, and the sharp wooden thorns pierced into the flesh of her palm, and her palm was already covered in blood.

She suppressed the tingling pain, and her face trembled, "Come here! This eunuch Lu Huaiqi is arrogant and arrogant, drag him down and behead him!" Shen Cairen ordered in a sharp voice.

Immediately outside the hall, several Habayashi guards with swords rushed in and surrounded Lu Huaiqi.

Lu Huai who was surrounded didn't change his face, just at this moment, Aunt Suqiu's figure flashed at the gate of the hall again.Aunt Suqiu hurried into the hall, and respectfully saluted Shen Cairen and the others, "Report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Empress Cairen, Mrs. Lu has brought them here!"

Almost as soon as Aunt Suqiu's voice fell, Shen Qingli was pushed in by Liu Zhi, the governor of Xichang, who was walking behind her at the gate of the hall.

Shen Qingli staggered forward, and when she raised her eyes again, she saw Lu Huaiqi who was surrounded by people.Across the crowd, when Shen Qingli saw him, all the uneasiness and confusion in his heart seemed to have found a place of sustenance, and all of them were ironed back into his stomach.

Originally there was tension in their protection, so she didn't have to enter the palace.

It's just... No matter where she is, she has already become a bargaining chip used by Shen Cairen and others to threaten Lu Huaiqi. Since her situation is already so bad, she should go to the palace and come to him.

At the very least, when she was by his side and saw him being threatened, she could choose not to be his burden.

Shen Qingli put one hand into his sleeve, and there was a dagger hidden in the sleeve.

That was what she used to prepare to kill herself.

At the same time, Jing Zhaoyin's sedan chair had already entered the palace.The weather in June was so hot that Jing Zhaoyin was sweating profusely.After he informed the palace people, he was arranged to go to Tongzheng Hall.

Tongzheng Hall is the place where civil and military officials go to rest.
