Chapter 343 The Wrath of the Jinling Emperor
Song Xi relaxed a little after hearing this, kissed her forehead, and chuckled: "It seems that the lady is very confident in shooting? Will she and her husband go to the school field to practice together someday? But no matter how strong your marksmanship is, you can't underestimate the enemy.
An accident may occur if you are not careful. In the future, you will have to move to Yuheyuan or the State Guesthouse to receive guests. It is really not suitable for outsiders to come in at home."
Liang Ji's sneak attack was a wake-up call for him, and his omissions in this area must be corrected as soon as possible.
There will definitely be more and more enemies popping up in the future, and there must not be any hidden dangers in our home as a safe place.
The defense power of the capital must also continue to be strengthened, especially near the palace, which needs to be built to be impregnable.
The family will live here until the end of their lives, so basic security must of course be handled securely and comprehensively.
Yu Yalan agreed very much with this, nodded and said softly: "Then it will be done according to your wishes. From now on, except for the six major families who are closely related, other guests will not be received at home. The children are still young and have no way to protect themselves.
ability, we also need to help them select some reliable playmates."
Recalling what she had discussed earlier, she asked about the next arrangements: "The results of the interrogation of Liang Ji and his daughter are expected to be out soon. Will they continue to be detained in the sky jail, or will they be placed under house arrest in a hotel? Externally, too,
We have to find a reasonable reason to prevent other forces from making a big fuss out of this."
Song Xi raised his hand to scratch the bridge of her nose, and replied with a gentle smile: "It would be better for those two people to be imprisoned in the sky prison, so that they don't have to curse all day long with a bad mouth and a vicious heart. As for the reason for being imprisoned, there is no need to worry about it.
Look, just attacking the Song family's mistress is enough for him to kill the queen! However, the deployment southward still needs to use the Liang family, so let's allow them to survive for a few more days."
The couple discussed the follow-up plan closely until the twins started crying and looking for their mother.
Xiao Song Yu brought two homemade windmills and happily gave them to his naughty and cute brothers.
The marriage turmoil from Anton came to an end, and the Song family in the capital slowly returned to a peaceful and busy life.
…
On the other side, inside the new palace of Jinling Mansion.
The young Emperor Longhe was furious.
The Wang Gonggong and others who went to the capital to announce the decree have returned successfully and reported all Song Xi's arrogant resistance to the decree and crazy reforms.
After learning that Song Xi dared to renovate the palace and the capital, and even disobey the decree and bully the envoys, Emperor Longhe felt that all his face had been trampled under the feet of a traitor, and he wished he could immediately send troops to Beijing to recapture Beizhili!
Song Xi and his wife held a water and land dojo in the capital, which was in itself a challenge to the majesty of the Zhou royal family. It is said that the Song family also won a good reputation as a filial and heroic hero, and the treasonous stigma of Dingbei Hou was also completely wiped out in the north.
Emperor Longhe was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to fight.
It was the empress dowager Wei and the Wei family's strong persuasion that made him give up his impulsive and reckless thoughts.
But the depression in my heart still couldn't calm down, and I was anxiously thinking about a good plan to return to the capital every day.
It was too cowardly to submit to Jinling. He didn't want to become a subjugated monarch whose dynasty collapsed!
"You are all a bunch of trash! You can't even take down a little Song family traitor! What's the use of raising you? You're not even as good as the guard dog! If we don't come up with a powerful way to deal with Song Xi, I will
Cut them all down!"
The courtiers in the audience knelt on the ground, and everyone was trembling with fear, as if they were walking on thin ice.
How could they not know the emperor's wish? But they were still helpless in the face of the strength of the Song family army.
The man in the capital is not a small rebel. His combat power and strategy have far exceeded everyone's expectations. The Duke of Qing, who has experienced hundreds of battles, can only return with a disastrous defeat. How many generals in the court can match him?
?
Some courtiers also felt a little regretful and regretted that they should not have followed the emperor to Jinling.
Nowadays, troubled times are coming, heroes are vying for the throne, and the imperial family of the Zhou Dynasty is at the end of their rope. Even if they stay in the capital and cannot be recruited by Song Xi, they can retire and return home to have a good death.
The future is not as gloomy as it is now, and you have to worry about whether you can survive tomorrow with a meager salary.
Emperor Long He took in everyone's expressions and felt increasingly angry and uneasy in his heart.
Just as he was about to catch an example to scare the monkeys, he saw his uncle Wei Dongsheng walking out.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I believe that we should stick to the original plan and transfer Song Xi out of the capital after making him a king with a different surname. The rebels in Anhui and Qilu have become a climate. The stability of Beizhili will not last long. As long as Song Xi
After accepting the imperial edict of making the king, he will legitimately become a minister of the Holy Emperor. When the time comes, he will be sent south to wipe out the three major rebels. If we design him to die on the battlefield, the power of the Song family will automatically collapse, leaving the old and weak
Women and children are not in danger at all.”
Emperor Long He thought he had some novel and clever trick, but after hearing this, he only felt more irritated.
"Didn't I send a group of envoys to announce the edict? Did Song Xi accept it? Not only did he not accept it, he also tore up the edict. Do you want me to humiliate myself again?"
Wei Dongsheng made him roar for a moment and trembled. He broke into a cold sweat and explained: "Your Majesty, the Song thieves specially held a land and water conference in the capital, and then forced the envoys to attend the meeting to listen to the scriptures. I think they were planning to hint to Your Majesty, hoping that
You can clear the name of Dingbeihou's house. As long as the court announces that the treason charges of Dingbeihou will be lifted, the Song thieves should be willing to accept the imperial edict of making the prince king."
In this era where reputation is more important than life, the reputation of a family head is related to the honor, disgrace and inheritance of the clan.
Although Song Xi conquered the north with his strong strength, he was still rejected and criticized by many people behind his back.
If Dingbei Hou's treasonous injustice is not washed away for a day, people will always look at the rise of the Song family with a critical eye. Unless the Zhou royal family personally admits that it is wrong and unfair, the stigma of collaboration with the enemy and treason will always follow the Song family.
Even if Song Xi ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor one day, unofficial history will distort his character and family background, and fallacies such as "the son of a rebel is still a rebel" will secretly run rampant like rats in the gutter.
Ordinary people who like bloody gossip don't care about the truth. They are more willing to believe those fabricated ugly stories. As long as they can reduce the rich and nobles to the dirt, they will feel very happy and satisfied in their hearts.
The reason why Song Xi chose to help Emperor Longhe in the first place was in exchange for rectifying the name of Marquis Dingbei.
It was just that the new emperor wanted to use this to control the Song family, so he was reluctant to fulfill this important promise.
Now that Song Xi has powerfully entered the capital, Emperor Longhe must pay a corresponding price if he wants to recruit him.
Should we protect the face of the late emperor and fight with the Song family to the end, burying the truth about Dingbeihou's unjust case, or should we choose to tell the world and reverse the case for Dingbeihou, admitting that the late emperor made a mistake in the case and killed a loyal minister and general?
There is no solution to this matter. Only by making the right decision can the current deadlock between the North and the South be slowly broken.
