Chapter 177

Do you still remember the purpose of coming to Beijing?

then.

It was also because of the evil spirit that the palace decided to hold a grand prayer ceremony. The palace issued an edict to summon all the eminent monks in Daye to the capital to pray together.

At that time, including the monks in his own temple, there were more than 12,000 people in total.

After the agreement.

The temple has set a rule that no killing is allowed within a month, everyone must eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, and murders are not allowed.

Because there were so many people, only the upper class families were allowed to enter the temple to participate in the blessing ceremony.

Generally, noble families and ordinary people lived halfway up the mountain or at the foot of the mountain.

There are also monks accompanying the blessing ceremony.

at the same time.

The Imperial Guard, the border defense forces in the capital, and the military camps all dispatched troops to help maintain order.

Many people still remember that the royal temple was packed with people, with a constant stream of people flowing at the foot of the mountain, and it was extremely lively.

Although the originally spacious road has been widened again and again, it still seems too narrow and insufficient.

The imperial palace and temples repeatedly required that each family should be courteous to each other, and not to have quarrels or other dirty things, and that worshipping Buddha should be the first priority.

Because of the strict rules, everything went very smoothly from beginning to end without any problems.

But who knows.

The problem actually occurred when the show ended.

There are always a few who appear to be smiling and polite on the surface, but in their actions they refuse to give in and are extremely arrogant and domineering.

That’s what happened to the Rong family back then.

Because the road was crowded, everyone had to walk slowly, and it was a steep slope.

The carriages of the Rong family and Princess Danyang were both on the side. Logically, the Rong family's carriage was at the very edge and could only go there, but he insisted on having his carriage squeeze into the middle.

then.

The Yue family's carriage is there, and so is Princess Danyang's carriage.

In the Yue family carriage was the old lady Yue, who brought few servants with her and the Yue family was not very prominent at the time. The Princess of Danyang was a princess from a fiefdom outside the capital and was not familiar with the capital and did not want to cause trouble. Su Tianyin and Su Momo were both in the carriage at the time, as was the mother of the Prince of Danyang.

So both families moved aside, thinking that the matter would end there.

But for some reason, the Rong family's carriage was pushed further and further out, and finally, somehow, it fell to the side.

The Princess of Danyang's carriage and the Yue family's carriage were also rushed to the bottom of the mountain.

Princess Danyang and the old queen dowager died on the spot in order to protect the then very young Su Tianyin and Su Momo. The old lady of the Yue family also died. It was said that the old lady was crushed by a huge rock.

The two elders, Princess Danyang and the old concubine, used their backs as cushions to hold the child tightly in their arms. At that time, the officers and soldiers wanted to pull the child out, but the elders refused to let go no matter what. It was not until the King of Danyang arrived and told them that the child was still alive and asked them to let go that they pulled the child out.

The Yue family was not a prominent family, so they had no sense of presence at the time. They just took the person back to hold the funeral.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the Rong family's carriage crashed down and people died, and Fu Li said at the time that nothing could happen, so these things were quickly covered up.

but.

Su Tianyin finally found out that the Rong family's carriages did fall down together, but the people who died in the carriages were only two insignificant servants, and there was no master inside at all.

This makes things a little weird.

It was obvious that the Rong family wanted them to die, but they accidentally killed the Yue family as well.

Su Tianyin had been secretly investigating the matter, which naturally aroused the murderer's vigilance. This led to the incident when a flood occurred later, and the two siblings were driven out of their fiefdom in the hope of drowning them.

The crime was committed by the favorite concubine of King Danyang. He had asked someone to send evidence to King Danyang, but there has been no news since then.

King Danyang either didn't believe it or didn't care.

so.

Su Tianyin and his sister lived in the capital under an assumed name and never went to Nancangzhou again.

And that concubine naturally became the Princess of Danyang, and her four children naturally became legitimate sons and daughters. There was no trace of Su Tianyin and her two children in the Danyang Palace anymore.

The Rong Mansion has been stagnant over the years. One reason is the suppression from the Jiang Mansion, and the other is the people of Yue Xiang and Su Tianyin who are making things difficult for it.

He has been waiting for the right opportunity to reveal the truth of this matter to the world.

At the same time, we must also find an opportunity to wipe out the Rong Mansion in one fell swoop.

nature.

Including the Jiang Mansion.

then.

The Rong Mansion had no qualifications to enter the royal temple at all, but Madam Jiang spent a lot of money and got several more places than others, which allowed the Rong Mansion to enter.

Therefore, Prime Minister Yue felt that Mrs. Jiang should take a great responsibility for this matter. She obviously had a bad relationship with the Rong family, but she softened her heart and offered to help just because the other party begged her for help.

"Prince."

Prime Minister Yue picked up the wine, and Su Tianyin's eyebrows trembled when he heard the word "Prince".

He hadn't heard this title for many years, and the prince of Danyang Palace was now that woman's son, not him.

"Have you forgotten the purpose of your visit to Beijing?"

A thick layer of pain instantly spread across Su Tianyin's handsome face. He would certainly not forget the purpose of coming to Beijing, otherwise he would not have joined forces with Prime Minister Yue.

Prime Minister Yue wants revenge, but he...not only wants revenge, but also wants to take back everything that belongs to him.

"Mrs. Jiang is dead. The Jiang family..."

"What? Have you become soft-hearted after staying in the Jiang family for so many years? Your mother held you in her arms and saved your life. She probably didn't want to see you like this now."

Prime Minister Yue's words cut into Su Tianyin's heart like a knife. The reason why he left the Jiang family was because of pain and entanglement. He didn't know what to do. The love was real, the contradiction was real, and the pain was real, so he left without hesitation.

"Don't hurt Zhaoying, she is a good girl."

Jiang Zhaoying is his only bottom line, and no one in this world can hurt her.

"Jiang Zhaoying?"

Prime Minister Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned back, and the elegant and beautiful figure, as pure as ice and jade, appeared in his mind.

"Jiang Zhaoying is too smart. Many things can't escape her eyes. With her around, we may not have a chance of winning. Tianyin, if you want to get that position, you must be ruthless."

During the six months of recuperation, he did not stay in the mansion, but traveled around and gathered forces. Now, many people have defected to Prime Minister Yue.

He did not choose the crown prince, as the crown prince had a cold and hard personality and he might not be able to control him. He also did not choose the current emperor, but chose Su Tianyin.

Compared with the ready-made ones, he prefers the feeling of sharing the joys and sorrows and conquering the world together. In this way, his contribution will be eternal. What's more, they have hundreds of millions of people in common, don't they?

"Zhaoying and the Rong family are not close, and they have never interacted with each other. It seems a bit far-fetched to put the blame on her."

Su Tianyin spoke coldly with a sullen face, but Prime Minister Yue shook his head.

"Whether she is an enemy or not is a different matter now. Her abilities are definitely stronger than what we have seen, but they have not yet erupted."

During the past six months, after returning from his travels, he had been staring at Jiang Zhaoying in the dark. The more he stared, the more shocked he became.

There is such a smart woman in this world!

"Now that Prince Yueming has left the capital, the Queen's family only has power. You only need to use Jiang Zhaoying to let her and the Crown Prince completely destroy the Queen's family. After that, we can deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Every word of Prime Minister Yue was like a heavy punch to Su Tianyin's heart, so heavy that it made him breathless.

He was willing to deal with everyone in the Rong Mansion, but he was unwilling to hurt anyone in the Jiang family.

But Prime Minister Yue felt that this matter was caused by Madam Jiang. If something happened in the Rong Mansion, Jiang Zhaoying might take revenge, which would cause unnecessary trouble.

and.

Jiang Zhaoying has a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He uses Jiang Zhaoying to kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and then kills Jiang Zhaoying.

This way they can be safe.

because.

What they want is not the position of King of Danyang, but the position of the current emperor present here.

"These are some things from Queen He's mother's family. You may want to take a look, my prince."

Originally, Queen He's father was only a marquis. When the Queen gave birth to Prince Yue Ming and made a great contribution, and Queen He had a little daughter, who was named a princess by the Queen because of her cuteness, Queen He began to rise.

The He family has been carefully cultivating the younger generation over the years. There are more than 700 descendants in the clan, and at least 100 of them are excellent.

The most powerful among them are the main branch of the He family, which has at least thirty-seven members.

If there are any uneducated and disobedient offspring in the main branch, they will be sent to the side branch as soon as possible, and their household registration will be moved there for adoption. From then on, they will have no connection with the main branch.

After doing this two more times.

Once a child is born, everyone becomes extremely vigilant, fearing that they might make a mistake. From childhood to adulthood, all the children know this rule, so no one dares not to work hard.

Fifteen years ago.

He knew very well that if she became too prominent in the capital, she would surely attract the attention of the royal family. So, she moved her family to Tongzhou on the grounds that she was worried that her children would use the title of empress to do evil.

The emperor was pleased, and with the help of the queen, he conferred the title of Duke of He on her father, and Tongzhou became their fiefdom.

The emperor himself probably doesn’t even know what Tongzhou has become now.

so.

This time when King Yueming left for his fiefdom in Langzhou, he would have to contact Tongzhou.

"Everyone is following King Yueming closely. Tongzhou will definitely send people to Langzhou to communicate with King Yueming. The border of Yunzhou is now controlled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is a good opportunity that has been lost."

The Fourth Princess and King Yue Ming had put so much effort into building up so many forces with the secret support of Tongzhou, but they did not expect that all of them would be dispersed by the Crown Prince.

The Chiyan Kingdom is now facing internal and external troubles, and the fourth princess is already overwhelmed when she goes back to help her brother consolidate his position.

"I have sent someone to deliver a letter to Chiyan. If the fourth princess and her brother are willing to cooperate, then I will help her."

Listening to Prime Minister Yue's plan, Su Tianyin drank the tea with a cold face and glanced at the sky.

"I've been out for a while, so it's time to go."

At this time.

Prime Minister Yue then discovered that there was a maid standing at the gate of the courtyard, and she seemed to say that Princess Le'an was coming.

"I'm leaving first."

Su Tianyin stood up, and the servants led him out from the back door, and at the same time brought Princess Le'an in from the front.

"Princess, please take a seat."

Prime Minister Yue glanced at Princess Le'an. The princess was obviously a little afraid of Prime Minister Yue. She walked forward and sat down carefully, taking the hot tea handed to her by Prime Minister Yue. She looked around and Prime Minister Yue pursed his lips slightly.

"He's gone."

Princess Le'an quickly withdrew her gaze.

"It's a rare opportunity for me to come out, and I thought I'd like to see you, Prime Minister. Do I have to go and marry you?"

The rumors that she liked Prime Minister Yue were both true and false.

This was all planned out after Prime Minister Yue found her. She originally thought that it would be nice if she could use this opportunity to marry into the Yue Mansion by accident.

But Prime Minister Yue did not intend to do so at all. His target has always been the Chiyan Kingdom.

And there is the matter of her liking Song Chengyu. If she really likes Song Chengyu, it would be easy for her to marry him. Spreading this matter is just an attempt to prevent the princess from getting married in the capital.

It also gave her an excuse to leave the palace and meet Prime Minister Yue, causing trouble.

"kindness."

Prime Minister Yue drank his tea slowly with a cold expression, and there was no warmth in his eyes when he looked at Princess Le'an.

"Since the Fourth Princess and Prince Yue Ming have failed to join forces, we should take advantage of the situation. I will help you become the Queen of Chiyan. When the time comes, our two countries will join forces and things will be easier."

"But...how can I gain their trust?"

Most of those who marry for foreign purposes are not trusted, and cannot even live a good life. Not only are they neglected, but they are also tortured.

"Of course I have a way."

Prime Minister Yue clapped his hands. Princess Le'an turned around when she heard the sound and saw...

Suddenly startled, Prime Minister Yue raised his hand and motioned her to lean over. Le An hurried over, and Prime Minister Yue told her the whole story in detail.

Le An then breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the maid and what she was holding... and nodded.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but remember your promise to me that it will be no more than ten years before I come back."

"Ten years is enough."

Maybe it won’t take ten years at all.

Le An sighed, with disappointment and helplessness in her eyes. If her mother had not died and the Marquis' Mansion had not fallen, she might have been able to continue to prosper. Who could have thought that she would become like this now.

She was unwilling to accept this, because she was obviously her father's most beloved princess and the most luxurious princess.

"I'm leaving first."

Le An was a little afraid of Prime Minister Yue and did not dare to talk to him for long. When he stood up, Prime Minister Yue turned his head.

"Bring some food into the palace."

Then.

The maidservant then brought over a variety of snacks. All of them were exquisite and delicious, and you could tell at a glance that they were made with great care.

Le An lowered his eyes, tears welling up in them.

She was often touched by Prime Minister Yue's so-called concern, but she was also very favored in the palace when her mother was alive.

"Prime Minister, my cousin..."

"He has no way to survive. Jiang Zhaoying wants him to die, so he has to die."

He would not interfere in this matter, not to mention that the Song Mansion had never been in his plan. When Jiang Zhaoying married into the Song Mansion, he thought that at least one major worry was gone. However, he did not expect that Jiang Zhaoying would fight back to the point of wiping out the entire Song Mansion.

"But then I will have no relatives."

Prime Minister Yue shook his head.

"Chen Yuefu is your relative, do you want to recognize her?"

Princess Le'an paused, but Prime Minister Yue continued speaking indifferently.

"Song Chengyu and Shen Yuefu were swapped back then, so the child born to Madam Song was actually Shen Yuefu, and she was not the child of Marquis Song, but the child of the head of the Song clan."

She had never heard such words before. Le An was so shocked by these words that she almost fell down. She only came to her senses in panic when the wind blew on her.

"I heard that Shen Yuefu became someone else's concubine."

When she heard it at that time, she thought Shen Yuefu was quite shameless, but now that she thinks about it, she is probably desperate.

Everyone thought that these ladies from noble families were pampered by Yunyue, but who knew that they were actually just pawns.
