Chapter 184 Mother is his benefactor?
In the spring of the eighteenth year of Yong'an, the deposed emperor died.
Xie Lingxi, the son of Crown Prince Zhaoren, ascended the throne as the crown prince.
After the new monarch came to the throne, he announced the crimes of the deposed emperor to the world to comfort the soul of the hero who died unjustly.
Murong Shili and Murong Shicheng were both imprisoned and locked up in the Mingxin Prison.
"I don't accept it. I'm innocent. Why are you arresting me?" Murong Shili slammed the wooden door of the prison.
Murong Shicheng murdered his father and rebelled, but he himself cleared himself of all charges. Why...
Chu Jue, who was patrolling the prison, glanced at him and said, "You are innocent? Then do you know how your previous princess died?"
"What did you say……"
"We have received reports from concerned citizens that you poisoned your ex-wife... and some other cases, which will be investigated in detail!" Chu Jue snorted coldly.
"What..." Murong Shili's face changed.
…
When the new emperor came to power, he sent all the officials from the former Crown Prince and Prince Duan's parties to the Mingxin Division for a thorough investigation.
Chu Shouchen thought he was going to retire.
But I didn't expect to have to work the night shift...
Duke Anguo was somewhat uneasy. The new monarch had dealt with most of the court officials in a swift and decisive manner, so it would probably be their turn next.
"My Lord, Grand Tutor Shen is here to announce the decree!" the steward reported.
Duke Anguo hurriedly ordered his men to open the central gate to welcome him.
"Your Majesty has issued an edict... to grant the King of England the fief of Dongyang, and the Duke of Anguo may also follow him to his fiefdom." After Taifu Shen finished reading the imperial edict, he looked at the Duke of Anguo and said:
"Duke Anguo, please accept the order."
Duke Anguo was confused and could not believe it, because Dongyang was the eastern border where the King of England was currently guarding.
If the new emperor wanted to kill the King of England, he would force him to come to Beijing with a legitimate reason.
The King of England really had no choice but to compromise.
The homes of his mother, his maternal grandfather, and the generals under his command are all in the capital.
Can he not come back?
But the new emperor did not let him come back. He directly designated the place where he was stationed as a fiefdom, and was willing to let the Duke of Anguo also receive the fiefdom.
There was absolutely no intention to take hostages.
"What is the new king doing..." Duke Anguo still couldn't believe it.
Master Shen smiled and said, "The new king is benevolent and has the style of Prince Zhaoren. Not only you, but also the imperial concubines in the palace have received the imperial decree and can follow the King of England to the vassal state."
"This is really...unexpected..." Duke Anguo thought to himself, no matter whether it was the Crown Prince or Prince Duan who came to the throne, it would be impossible for the King of England to have such a good outcome.
"The King of England has made contributions to Daxia and is a meritorious official of Daxia. Your Majesty treats him well and clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments. After Duke Anguo goes to Dongling, please tell the King of England that the result of deposing the emperor is what he deserves. If trouble arises again because of this, the new monarch will surely not be lenient." Taifu Shen looked at Duke Anguo and persuaded him step by step.
When he saw the decree, he was also shocked.
Xie Lingxi did not suppress the King of England at all just because he deposed the emperor.
This is a rare wise ruler.
"Master Shen is right. Your Majesty is so lenient, and we are deeply grateful. I will personally go to the palace to express my gratitude for such a reward!" Duke Anguo came back to his senses, feeling very excited.
If the new ruler did not kill them all, they would certainly not rebel.
I can’t beat him again.
…
After Xie Lingxi succeeded to the throne, he was very busy with all kinds of affairs.
But no matter how late it was, he would return to the Jinyu Palace and sleep with Jiang Rong.
Someone is waiting for him, so he must go home.
This Jinyu Palace was the bedroom where Jiang Rong lived after he moved into the palace. It used the old name from when they lived in the palace, and everything was the same as before.
Jiang Rong was also a little busy.
Recently, the Ministry of Rites was planning the ceremony for the coronation of the empress, and she needed to review it. Xie Lingxi ascended the throne in a hurry, and she also became the empress, but because she was too busy, she had not made preparations in all aspects, and the official ceremony of coronation was still a month away.
"Hmph! The Queen's coronation ceremony hasn't even been completed yet, and these people are already thinking about the beauty pageant!" Jadeite complained indignantly to Agate.
Jiang Rong had just woken up from a nap and asked lazily, "What talent show?"
"I deserve to die! I woke up the queen!" Feicui quickly knelt down and apologized.
"You didn't wake me up, get up quickly. Your voice was so soft... I couldn't hear it clearly. What talent show?" Jiang Rong yawned and got up from the couch.
Feicui stepped forward and said, "I heard that the ministers of the previous dynasty wrote to Your Majesty to start the selection of concubines early. Your ceremony of crowning the queen has not even been completed, and they are in a hurry to send someone in... too hasty!"
"My husband only loves me, he won't participate in the beauty contest." Jiang Rong didn't care at all and responded casually.
Feicui was a little worried and hesitated to speak, "But...but the emperor always has to select concubines...I just hope that His Majesty can remember the old friendship and support you all the way in the future, and treat you better."
"With my husband's personality, he will definitely make things difficult for the ministers instead of himself. What? Everyone has forgotten that he is a playboy!" Jiang Rong chuckled.
The "dandy" always does whatever he wants, and others can't do anything about it.
Although his identity changed from the son of the Northern King to the son of Crown Prince Zhaoren, he has always been the same.
Jiang Rong was as shocked as everyone else about Xie Lingxi's background.
Many people think that this is a reason specially made up by the Xie family in order to usurp the throne.
But Jiang Rong knew Xie Lingxi's character. He had won the throne fairly and squarely, so there was no need for him to recognize an outsider as his father.
He is really the son of the late crown prince.
Now that he thought about it, the spirit tablets of Crown Prince Zhaoren and Crown Princess that the Concubine Dowager asked them to worship were actually Xie Lingxi's parents...
I don’t know when he knew all this, and I don’t know how long he has been preparing for revenge.
When Jiang Rong learned about his life experience, she felt heartbroken.
"Miss Li should be here by now." Jiang Rong stood up and said, "Let's go to the Imperial Garden."
The ninth young lady of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion wants to see Jiang Rong for an urgent matter.
Jiang Rong summoned her into the palace and met her in the imperial garden.
…
The imperial garden is full of colorful flowers.
Li Jin'er and her personal maid were waiting quietly in the pavilion.
"The young lady and your majesty have been childhood sweethearts and are in love with each other. You never expected that Jiang Rong would appear and snatch your position as queen!" The maidservant was indignant.
Li Jin'er frowned, "Don't say that!"
"I'd like to hear it. What childhood sweetheart?" Jiang Rong walked over. What nonsense was he making up in front of her?
When Li Jin'er saw her, she immediately bowed and saluted, "I am here to see the Queen, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health. I have spoken nonsense, please forgive me. Although I have known Brother Ling Xi since childhood and have a deep friendship, but... there is nothing between us..."
"I know." Jiang Rong looked at her calmly. Xie Lingxi only loves herself, how could she have anything to do with others?
Li Jin'er seemed to be relieved, and looked at Jiang Rong and said, "I am asking to see you today because I have something important to discuss with you. Many people in the community have criticized Brother Ling Xi's background, but your mother is one of the witnesses. She may have left some notes, so I would like to ask you to look for them and clear Brother Ling Xi's name."
"My mother is a witness?" Jiang Rong raised his eyebrows.
Li Jin'er said in surprise, "Brother Ling Xi hasn't told you yet? The former crown prince died in battle, and the crown princess set fire to the palace to protect herself. She barely escaped, but she was already on her deathbed and fainted on the side of the road."
"If we hadn't met Divine Doctor Bai and been saved by him, saving the Crown Princess and the fetus, how could Brother Ling Xi be who he is today?"
"The King of the North and my grandfather also knew about this. That day, my grandfather and the King of the North heard that the East Palace was on fire, so they rushed to rescue people and met your mother. Grandfather and the King of the North asked Divine Doctor Bai to keep it a secret, and Divine Doctor Bai also kept it a secret. Your mother is Brother Ling Xi's benefactor."
