Strange Tale of Qingluan

The young man said, "Don't bother you about this matter, I will find a way, but...maybe I want you to be wronged and be their bait." Su Zhongming nodded his head, expressing his agreement, "As long as they don't let them hinder the election again Lixin Wang, letting me be a bait is just a trivial matter, nothing to do with it."

They talked for a long time in the car. The carriage that was originally going directly to the palace changed its direction and turned to the prime minister's mansion. After Su Zhongming let the young man get off the car in front of the mansion, he ordered the groom to continue driving to Gongdu.

Two days later, the Zhishu Courtyard announced the result, and the fourth prince of Yuli, Chao Sheng, became the new king. There was an instant uproar in the court. Some people thought that the four princes had committed the most serious crimes and were still being released. Such a disgraced person became the king. It will make the people of Wen Kingdom dissatisfied. Some people think that he is the most orthodox candidate in the royal family, and he is the most suitable to succeed as the new king.

"The quarrel is so lively, is it possible that we must make a woman the new king before we are willing to stop?" Amidst the divergent opinions, there was a sneer, and everyone looked at the source of the voice, and found that the person was indeed Taifu He Wukui.

"Make a woman the new king? Who?"

"Princess Heqin of Taoxia Kingdom, what do you think?" He Wukui shook his fan, put on a serious face in front of all the officials around him, and said something that seemed very joking.

"Teacher, are you joking? Let her be the new king? Wouldn't the Wen royal family lose its orthodoxy in the future?" One of the ministers laughed face-to-face.A strange voice sounded at this time, "It's not just that there is no orthodoxy, I am afraid that even the Wen Kingdom will no longer exist and it will be renamed Nantaoxia, right?"

All the ministers followed the prestige, and all of them were shocked, "Shi... the prince? The prince is here..."

"His Royal Highness, you can't talk so nonsense..."

"Maybe it's not Nantaoxia, maybe it's half Nantaoxia and half Nangeyun?"

Su Zhongming intentionally kept his mouth open.

On the high yellow beams, someone pursed his lips and smiled. That person stared at the young man caught in the crowd, and a voice came from his heart: Xiao Su, are you trying to make me angry?Hmph, I won't get angry so easily, since, if you want to finish it, I'll finish it with you.

She turned her head and gave orders to the man in black next to her in a very low voice, "Quickly, go and call that woman." The man in black was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant by such an arrangement, and hesitated, "Mr. Headmaster, isn't this too..." She glared at him, which made him reluctant to do it, and with a swoosh, his figure disappeared instantly.

After a long while, Yunji came slowly and walked into the hall, "Who said that in the future, the Wen Congress will become half of Nantaoxia and half of Nangeyun?" Su Zhongming said with a smile, just for the sake of Leading her over, he replied: "I said it. Since everyone is talking about making you a woman the new king, it's only natural for me to think so."

Yun Ji snorted, "How could I fight for the throne with you men indiscriminately? If I want to fight, I want to be the Queen Mother!" Su Zhongming replied with a smile, "I thought you were riding the same boat as my fourth uncle. Ship, I didn’t expect you to be, so it turned out that you wanted to be the Queen Mother! It’s a pity that no matter how hard you fight, you can’t win. After my fourth uncle becomes the new king, he will definitely posthumously present Kong as the Queen Mother of."

Yunji turned her back and stared at him, looking like she was going to eat people.Without waiting for her to speak, Su Zhongming said again: "In order to become the Empress Dowager, you... must have done something secretly? For example, reading medicine to His Majesty." As soon as this remark came out, the officials were in an uproar, but no one dared to stand up say.

Yun Ji stared at him coldly, and spoke in a tone of frost, "Your Majesty is talking nonsense like this, slandering a defenseless and weak woman in this Palace, don't you think it's unreasonable?"

Su Zhongming remained calm and composed, "Since you married from afar, your majesty has been sick, and in the end he couldn't even take care of political affairs by himself. Moreover, I heard that you will send porridge to your majesty on the [-]th of every month. If you love Your Majesty, I have nothing to say to send porridge to show the love between husband and wife, but why do you always choose the fifteenth day?"

Yunji Zhangkouyu explained, but Su Zhongming didn't want to give her a chance at all, and continued: "Because the poison you gave Your Majesty is called Phi Xuehongyi. This poisonous weed only grows in your hometown - Taoxia. In order to deceive people, you To escape the imperial doctor's diagnosis, he cleverly used only its roots. The toxicity of this substance is very weak, and can only last for fifteen days. As long as it is eaten continuously, it can still make people stunned just like the whole poisonous weed. After six months of madness, he will die."

"These are all your sloughs, what proof do you have!" Yun Ji couldn't bear it anymore and became angry.With a smile on his lips, Su Zhongming replied calmly, "I don't have any evidence, but as long as you are all up first, and then search your bedroom, the evidence should be found! It's just a pot and a bowl."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers suddenly broke into the hall, which made the officials terrified and baffled.Those soldiers surrounded Yun Ji, and the sharp white knives pointed at her one after another.That Yunji panicked a little, she stood up and resisted, she actually knows martial arts!

Su Zhongming retreated to the side of Yi Yeqing who brought the soldiers into the hall, and watched the woman fight against a group of soldiers. When the ministers saw the fight, they also hurriedly hid behind the pillars and poked their heads to watch the situation. Xuehou just stood still.He Wukui retreated to Su Zhongming's side, waving his fan leisurely, looked at Ding Xuehou, and said to him, "This guy won't let go of the opportunity to show off."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man he was talking about grabbed the weapon from the soldier and stabbed at Yunji who was fighting. The sharp blade easily slashed across her right wall, and blood gushed out, staining her right guard red.Just when he was about to capture her, several people suddenly flew down from the top of the yellow beam, the man in white was the most obvious among them.

"It's them!" Yi Yeqing yelled, drew her sword and ran forward, attacking the man in white. Seeing this, the men in black who were following her hurried over to protect her.The man in white attacked Dingxuehou with two white knives, and cut him again, then the man in white grabbed the injured Yunji and fled, the man in black followed closely, it was the best strategy.

"Xiao Su! We will meet later!" The man in white blurted out a female voice.The soldiers chased them out, but they were nowhere to be seen.After hearing that sound, Su Zhongming walked quickly to the entrance of the main hall, looked at the wide open space and the peaceful sky, and was stunned: Who is that person?How did I know the name my senior sister called me?

The wind and rain that has been going on for many days, in a situation that looks like a farce, the clouds and fog are lifted in an instant.

Three days later, after a lively battle of Moye, the candidate for the new king was finally determined. Before sitting on the high throne, he seemed caught off guard in front of the courtiers bowing down, and even panicked uncontrollably.

From that day on, Wen Guo changed Yuan to Shang Qing, and Su Zhongming ascended the throne as the new king.He just became the lord of the country in his capacity as the eldest son, and moved to Zhuzhen Palace by himself. He was not used to it. In the main hall, he panicked for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to speak, "I..."

The claim has just been issued, and the important part is still stuck in his throat. A eunuch who is close to him reminded him in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this is not right. You should call yourself 'solitary' or 'widow' now." Su Zhongming was stunned He was taken aback for a moment and thought it was very troublesome, but he had to choose one of them. He felt that "solitary" was more pleasant, so he decided to call it this.

"Gu..." The first time he called himself that, he was still a little uncomfortable, and he dragged out the following words after a while, "Can you spare your kneeling?" looked at each other.

"You are all older than me... no, you are older than Gu. Gu is afraid of shortening his life, and... you are not used to it." Su Zhongming quickly explained, thought for a while, and added: "It's better to kneel down when you go to court. How about changing the ceremony to a sitting ceremony?" The officials in the hall began to discuss, and only Taifu He Wukui praised, "Good! The sitting ceremony is good! I always stand, and my legs are prone to numbness. Sitting is indeed better than standing. Well, Your Majesty is really sympathetic to your subjects!"

Su Zhongming smiled when he heard someone agreeing.Dingxuehou, who was in the class of ministers, looked up at his expression, and unknowingly started to laugh, as if the smile was aimed at him.

All the ministers kowtowed to the throne in unanimous agreement in an instant, and Su Zhongming panicked again when he saw that they were about to kneel, "Don't...don't kneel!" The two slightly bent knees of the ministers were about to touch the ground. stand up.The eunuch who held the edict stood up and began to read the edict. The content of the edict was actually very simple, that is, respect the son and mother Shi Shi as the Queen Mother, and posthumously present Su Ruitian as Prince Huiwu (in the year Su Ruitian died, he was Wenguo Huiwu In the eighth year), Princess Shengshi was crowned as the eldest princess of Shengshi.

After the edict was read out, he was about to leave the court. Su Zhongming sat on the throne bored, and when the eunuch's voice fell, he got up faster than anyone else and went to the back door of the main hall.

"It's suffocating, it's suffocating, it was really suffocating just now! Fortunately, I only sat for a while, if I sat for more than half a day, I would be really bored to death." Su Zhongming walked slowly, talking to the following eunuchs, Suddenly, he stopped and asked the eunuch, "When I'm not in court, can I always call myself 'I'?"

The eunuch replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty calls himself 'Gu' just to show the officials that 'one person is above ten thousand people'." Su Zhongming was relieved and continued walking happily.
