Chapter 174 The Storm is Coming
"Well, last year you designed the ten-shot crossbow, and the mansion I rewarded you with has been built. Since you want to leave the palace, move out after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and promote this printing technology to the whole country." Yun Hongxiao thought for a while and gave his answer.
Suddenly he stood up.
"Second Prince Yun Ransheng, listen to the order."
Yun Ransheng heard that there must be other rewards, and immediately knelt in front of Yun Hongxiao.
"Second Prince, Yun Ransheng, invented the movable type printing press, which has benefited the present and future generations. He is specially conferred the title of the first-class prince, and the title: Xingguo." Yun Hongxiao announced loudly.
"Thank you, father, for your kindness." Yun Ransheng kowtowed to express his gratitude.
The crowd was boiling, and it was done in one step.
Before, Prince Lu was conferred the title of the first-class prince, and now the second prince was also conferred the title of the first-class prince. His status was raised a lot, and he could leave the palace and start his own government right away.
Most of the people present were old officials who had served for many years, and they began to analyze the meaning of the emperor's move.
Only Feng Zuwen watched all this calmly, and his nerves were highly concerned about everything around him.
[Humph, this printing press was definitely not designed by him. A soul from the future must have used things from the future to win favor.]
Feng Tianxing looked at Yun Ransheng's performance with disdain.
But he got real benefits.
Several people in the Feng family heard Feng Tianxing say more than once that Yun Ransheng was a soul from the future, but there was no evidence, so it was difficult to expose it.
He does have the status of a prince now, and can enjoy the treatment of a prince.
The eldest prince and Wu Miaozhen watched all this calmly.
As for what they think in their hearts, it is unknown.
"Since the second son has left the palace, the eldest son, you are getting married soon, so you should also leave the palace and prepare for your wedding. Queen, you should prepare for this after the New Year. We in the royal family also have to propose marriage to marry a wife, so you can consult with the Ministry of Internal Affairs when the time comes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will obey your order."
"Thank you, father, I will obey your order."
Wu Miaozhen and the eldest prince came out to express their gratitude.
When these words came out, Yun Ransheng and his mother felt a little uneasy.
What does the emperor mean?
The eldest prince has no merit at all, so why did he leave the palace with the help of the east wind?
But the emperor's words are the imperial edict, and no one can contradict them.
Zheng He was so angry that she clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
There were three other women in the palace looking at Yun Ransheng, their eyes shining like stars. They were the three girls who were given to him in marriage.
Yun Ransheng would never have thought that just because of his appearance, three women would fall in love with him.
"Mother, the second prince is so talented, I feel that I am not worthy of him." Qin Biyue looked at Yun Ransheng in the center of the hall shyly, her face blushing.
"Okay, you have already given him a marriage, and you will be husband and wife in the future. What do you think about whether you are suitable or not? Don't let the other two get the upper hand."
At this moment, Mrs. Qin's thoughts changed again. She didn't expect that the second prince's status would rise so high, and the possibility of inheriting the throne in the future would be very high.
And looking at the eldest prince, he just went to the study room to study honestly every day, and has not made any contribution to Yanyan so far.
It took only a short time for her to gradually change from rejection to acceptance and then to joy about this marriage.
Those who praised Yun Ransheng were all scholars, while the military commanders did not feel anything.
The previous ten-shot crossbow did excite them, but unfortunately the news eventually spread, and Yanyan was no longer exclusive.
"Today is New Year's Eve, and I am very happy to receive such a gift. Eunuch Yuan, have someone bring my newly acquired Fengyang tribute wine Kangyuanqing, I want to drink and have fun with all the ministers."
"Yes." Eunuch Yuan received the order and immediately went to arrange it.
Yun Xinglu turned his head and nodded to a palace maid at the door of the palace.
The man followed Eunuch Yuan.
"Eunuch Yuan, I'll go help you." The palace maid ran a few steps and caught up with Eunuch Yuan.
"Well, let's go, you kid, you are a perceptive person." Eunuch Yuan was very happy to have a coolie following him, and he asked two more people to follow and get the wine.
When the wine was brought, the palace maids walked around the hall. They poured a glass for everyone, including the children and the women.
The singing and dancing continued.
The aroma was lingering.
Feng Tianxing felt something was wrong as soon as she smelled the air.
She pulled Feng Yuanhao's hand.
Feng Yuanhao had already been told about what tonight would happen.
He immediately put his head close to his sister's mouth.
"Big brother, this wine combined with the fragrance in the air will make people lose their strength. It will take effect in a quarter of an hour at most." Feng Tianxing whispered. "
Okay, I know. Daddy has already distributed the antidote you gave to the corresponding people."
Feng Yuanhao nodded to Feng Zuwen opposite him.
Several people quietly took the antidote.
Feng Zuwen looked at Yun Hongxiao above him, and when the other's eyes came over, he nodded three times.
Yun Hongxiao also pretended to wipe his mouth with a handkerchief, but he actually swallowed the antidote.
Seeing Yun Hongxiao's actions, several people who had been privately instructed by Feng Zuwen secretly swallowed the antidote.
Yun Ransheng also knew that there was a problem, and he also pulled Zheng He, asking her not to drink.
Zheng He pretended to drink, but actually vomited on the handkerchief.
Time passed little by little.
Suddenly, General Lu wanted to stand up to toast the emperor.
As a result, he fell directly to the ground.
Seeing this, his eldest grandson immediately stood up to help him, but he also became powerless.
Everyone was shocked to see the situation of their grandfather and grandson. Looking at each other, everyone realized that something was wrong, especially those who had martial arts skills, who obviously felt that their whole body was becoming weak.
"Your Majesty, the wine is poisoned." Someone shouted.
At this moment, Yun Xinglu stood up, and
thirty strong soldiers walked into the hall. It was obvious at a glance that all of them were martial arts masters.
"Father, since all the civil and military officials are here today, I have something to tell you." Yun Xinglu stood in the center of the hall.
"Lord Lu, have you drugged us all?" General Lu understood immediately.
"Don't get excited, old general. I just want to make you unable to use your strength temporarily. As long as you behave yourself, you will be fine in a few hours."
"Lord Lu, do you want to rebel?" Wu Manjiang asked angrily.
"Prince Prime Minister, don't get excited either. I am not rebelling, but to restore the imperial power to the orthodox." Yun Xinglu said slowly while looking at Yun Hongxiao at the top.
"Father, in the past seven years, I have been by your side and have tried my best to serve our Yanyan, and I have gained your great trust. I would like to thank you in advance.
But what I want to talk about today is what happened a hundred years ago.
The Grand Emperor at that time had five sons, and three of them had grown up before he passed away. The position of the crown prince had never been decided, and it was not until the Grand Emperor passed away that we learned that he passed the throne to the fourth prince Yun Qinqing, who is your branch.
He wrote a will and hid it in the plaque in Yu's study.
But is this really the case?
That will is a fake and was replaced by someone. The real will is here. It passed the throne to the eldest prince Yun Qinye, who is my ancestor."
Yun Xinglu took out an imperial edict from his arms. It was bright yellow and the color had become very dim. It was obvious that it had been kept for many years.
"Ministers, please check whether the imperial seal is genuine." Yun Xinglu unfolded the imperial edict and held it in front of several important ministers so that they could see it clearly.
