After the Ban family was ransacked, several dudes who had a good relationship with Ban Heng also tried to secretly give Ban Heng some gold and silver. They learned that Rong Xia did not turn against Ban Heng because of the collapse of the Ban family, but instead turned Ban Heng away. After all the family members were picked up, they rested their thoughts.

Later, after Emperor Fengning put the three members of the Ban family under house arrest, these dandies jumped up and down for a while thinking of a solution, but they didn't have time to jump around for long as their own house was also ransacked. These hereditary nobles had no actual duties in the court. Emperor Fengning didn't like them and insisted on having their homes confiscated, so there was nothing he could do.

After the Rong family's army invaded the capital, these dandies were happy to watch the excitement. Although these nobles were not able to restore their titles, the confiscated family property was returned by the court. This was an unexpected joy for them.

In particular, several dandies who had helped Rong Xia in the court have now been granted several titles of varying sizes.

These dandies themselves also knew that they were too embarrassed to go to the palace to thank them, so in front of the **** who announced the decree, they kowtowed several times in the direction of the palace and said a lot of flattering words. On the second day, I went to Jingting Gongfu with a generous gift.

The new emperor had just been established, and the elders in the family did not dare to form cliques at this time, so the young people who came to visit with gifts were all young people, and they found an excuse to have a party before entering the Ban family gate.

Because of this coup, several young dandies have become more temperamental than before. As they talked, they talked about the old and sour scholars who claimed to be noble and supported the previous dynasty.

"Why refuse the imperial court's recruitment?" Ban Heng said unceremoniously, "Your Majesty wants people who are capable, talented, and caring about the people. How can your Majesty like these people you mentioned? He doesn't look at them one by one. When he goes to the imperial court, he doesn't complicit in the rich and powerful. He acts as if he has the opportunity to do so. How shameless."

A few people did not expect such a thing to happen, and curiously asked: "Is this really true?"

"Really not," Ban Heng shook his head affirmatively, "His Majesty attaches great importance to experts with both ability and political integrity. I heard from my sister that if there are really capable ministers who are unwilling to be recruited by the court, Your Majesty will personally invite them. What do you think? These few people are making such a fuss, when has the imperial court ever paid attention to him?"

"So they are feeling sour in their hearts, but they still pretend to be noble on the surface?" A certain dude sneered, "I can't stand this kind of people the most. When I go to bed at night, I may dream about being summoned by the imperial court. , you still have to pretend to be disdainful when you get up in the morning, write poems and lyrics to flaunt yourself, wouldn’t it be better to be more honest?”

"It's easy to deal with people like this," another dude said, "Don't they want face, then we won't give them face."

"I have a good idea," Ban Heng slapped the table, "Let's invite actors to put on a show in the downtown area to make it funny and embarrass them to death."

"Let's do it this way, they are shameless, and we don't want to give them any shame."

Just when these self-proclaimed literati were so flattered that Tao Tao felt so light that he thought he had really refused the emperor's summons, suddenly some idle dandies began to invite people to listen to books and watch plays for free.

What is said in the play and book?

Probably some scholars who have no talent, but still think they are superior to others and look down on ordinary people. They envy some of their classmates who entered the court and became officials, hide in bed and cry secretly, and continue to go out the next day with a look of aloofness.

Some scholars really think that they are superior to others and look at ordinary people with sideways eyes. Therefore, these humorous plays made the people watching the fun burst into laughter, especially the clowns who played the scholars. , and won many rewards from the people.

For a time, he became famous in the capital.

Scholars and dandies are unreasonable. You say they are insulting, but they say they are just idle and bored, casually inviting the people of the capital to watch a few plays.

Why are you, a scholar, so excited? You are an upright person and don't pretend to be noble. Why would you speak for such a hateful scholar? Wouldn't it be a stain on your reputation?

What else can these scholars say?

Say that you were hurt by being poked, or do you pretend to be generous and hold your breath back?

After being tortured by these dandies like Ban Heng, these old talents suddenly stopped. Not only did they stop writing poems and lyrics, they also hid in the house and did not go out for a long time, for fear that others would say that he was such a person.

But their behavior has long offended the literati who entered the court as officials. If they are not officials, they are of high moral character. What are they in the court? Some people hold back because they don't want to ruin their reputations. Now that the momentum is good, of course they want to take advantage of it.

The first is to vent his anger for himself, and the second is to please the current emperor.

After what Ban Heng and the other dudes were doing reached Rong Xia's ears, Rong Xia said to Ban Hua, "Brother Heng's method is better."

"His brain can only be put to use at this time, so don't praise him," Banhua said angrily, "This is nothing, their group of people lost a lot of ideas. Xie Qilin back then He was considered a romantic talent in the capital, but later his reputation was tarnished."

"What kind of romantic and talented man is he?" Rong Xia said without hesitation, "As good-looking as me, or more talented than me?"

"One is in the sky and the other is on the ground. What are we comparing to each other?" Banhua pinched his face, peeled off a longan and stuffed it into his mouth, "I am not competing with any Miss Shi, Miss Lin, What kind of princess or princess can you compare to?"

Rong Xia spit out the core into his hand and said with a smile: "I can't even remember what they look like, these people you mentioned. If you ask me which one of them is prettier, I can't answer."

"This mouth of your man can coax the sparrows from the sky down."

"What's the point of coaxing a sparrow? I'll be content to coax you, the phoenix, down."

The couple held candles and talked at night. It was another night of tenderness. When Banhua woke up from the bed, Rong Xia had already gone to court.

I heard that the **** from the palace province came to report that Empress Dowager Fuping was leaving the palace today to live in a villa on the outskirts of Beijing, and asked her if she had issued a decree.

Empress Dowager Fuping is the biological mother of the prince and Jiang Luo. Although the previous dynasty has died, Rong Xia has inherited her favor, so she still retains her title of empress dowager, and the titles of her natal family also remain unchanged. It's enough for the Queen Mother's face.

"Leaving today?" Banhua was slightly startled, stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

"Empress." Ruyi glanced at Banhua with some worry. Last time, Empress Dowager Fuping asked Empress Dowager to help the tyrant intercede. After Empress Dowager refused, the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager never saw each other again. Now that they have passed, she is worried The Queen Mother will show her face to the Empress.

Banhua said calmly: "Let's go."

The Queen Mother Fuping stood aside expressionlessly, watching the **** and maid carry out the boxes and boxes she had sorted, and asked the nun who was looking around: "What are you looking at?"

When the Queen Mother discovered her little move, she felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. She thought that the Queen Mother would send someone to see her off, at least so that the Queen Mother would have an easier time after she went to the other palace.

The queen mother of the subjugated country, although she is called the queen mother, who will take her seriously? But if the queen gives her face, the servants in other palaces will not dare to treat the queen mother badly. She is a palace servant, how can she not know the thoughts of those below, but how can she say these things to the queen mother directly?

In fact, Queen Mother Fuping knew what she was thinking, but at this time, she could only pretend not to know. She had thought about dying, but if she died, what would her eldest son and daughter do? She hadn't taught her second son well, so would she resort to suicide to make the new emperor unhappy, and ultimately bring harm to her eldest son?

What's more, she still has some kindness towards Rong Xia. If she were still alive, Rong Xia would treat her eldest son and daughter much better.

So she can only live, peacefully and honestly.

Just when she was about to step onto the carriage, she suddenly heard her grandma's surprised voice.

"The Queen Mother, she is the Queen!"

Empress Dowager Fuping looked back and saw that it was really Banhua who was coming. She paused and turned around to face Banhua.

"Your Majesty," Banhua handed a wooden box to the nanny beside the Queen Mother, "take care of yourself when you go to the other palace. If there is anything you are not used to, send someone to the palace to tell you. If you have time, I will also I will visit you."

Empress Dowager Fuping's lips trembled slightly, and she said after a while: "You shouldn't have come."

She is the Queen Mother of the former dynasty, and Banhua is also a princess named by the former dynasty. She also has some blood of the Jiang family. It is not good for her to be too close to them, people from the previous dynasty.

"My Majesty, don't worry, I understand in my heart," Banhua personally helped Empress Dowager Fuping get into the carriage. She stood outside the carriage and whispered, "After arriving at the other palace, Madam, don't worry. Your Majesty is magnanimous. People will definitely treat Prince He and Princess Anle well."

With tears flashing in Empress Dowager Fuping's eyes, she bowed to her and lowered the curtain of the carriage.

"Ruyi," Banhua turned to look at Ruyi, "send the Queen Mother out of the palace."

"Yes."

When Banhua returned to Dayue Palace, Rong Xia had not yet gone to court. Aunt Chang, who had entered the palace with her, walked up to her and presented the nourishing and nourishing soup she had made to Banhua, "What's wrong with you? Has the palace man made you unhappy?"

"No," Banhua finished the soup in silence, rinsed and wiped his mouth and said, "I just went to see off the Queen Mother."

Mother Chang smiled very kindly and said, "It was right for your Majesty to send her off."

"Firstly, it completes your personal relationship, and secondly, it shows your magnanimity as the mother of the country." Aunt Chang has been with the eldest princess Dening for many years, and she is also the eldest princess's confidant, so she has heard a lot of shameful things. of privacy.

Except for the Queen Mother who suffered some hardships when she first married Emperor Yunqing, she has been in a happy life since then. Men respect her the most, and concubines and concubines cannot get into her eyes. This is more worry-free than the empresses of Daye. too much. The more worry-free the days, the more innocent and innocent the person's character is, and the dark side he can see is limited, as is the case with the Queen Mother.

"What is magnanimity and magnanimity?" Banhua lowered her eyelids and said with a smile, "Mommy, you don't have to speak so well of me."

Mother Chang smiled and shook her head: "Your Majesty is very good, just like Her Royal Highness."

"I'm not as good as my grandmother."

Ms. Chang patted her hand kindly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to think about this anymore. Why don't you take a look at the clothes and jewelry at the Queen's Ceremony. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can ask the embroiderer to change it."

Banhua nodded: "Okay, let them present it for a look."

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!" an official from the Ministry of Rites knelt in front of Rong Xia, "The regulations for the enthronement ceremony of Queen Chunming are old rules from eight hundred years ago. Since then, the empress conferment ceremony has never been so grand. How can we set this precedent in our government?"

"How can the rules that have existed in ancient times be regarded as precedents?" Rong Xia ignored the officials kneeling on the ground and said, "The Queen has paid a lot for me to conquer the world, so holding the Queen's Ceremony in accordance with this rule is not considered a big deal. Insult her."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not expect that Rong Xia would say these words. The queen's military achievements were indeed indispensable, but she is a woman after all. It is not a good thing to lift a woman up so high. What if Si Chen...

"I am well aware of your concerns, but the queen is not such a person. I," Rong Xia put down the pen in his hand and looked at the ministers in the room intently, "believe her."

Seeing that Rong Xia had already reached the point where she had spoken, several courtiers knew that if they continued talking, they would make His Majesty unhappy, so they just agreed.

"Since none of you have any objections, let's just follow the rules," Rong Xia nodded slowly, with a hint of satisfaction finally showing on his face.

"Master Zhou, Master Yao," the official of the Ministry of Rites stopped the two people who had not spoken any objections from beginning to end, "don't you two adults think there is anything wrong with this ceremony?"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Bingan looked innocently confused, "Isn't His Majesty satisfied?"

"Although His Majesty is satisfied, this ceremony is too grand..."

"Master Wang," Yao Peiji patted the shoulder of the official of the Ministry of Etiquette, "rules are not unethical as long as there is evidence to test them. In my opinion, the Queen is brave and good at fighting, shares the joys and sorrows with His Majesty, and has made a lot of sacrifices. It’s not too much to follow this rule.”

Seeing Yao Peiji say the same thing, the officials of the Ministry of Rites let him pat their shoulders in a daze, and suddenly felt that he was probably the one who made the fuss.

The important ministers in the court had no objections to the regulations of this ceremony, and no one else dared to have any objections. Today, His Majesty not only has the means to govern the country, but also has the military power in the DPRK in his hands, so the officials in the DPRK are particularly obedient.

Anyway, the one your Majesty wants to treat favorably is his original wife, not a concubine, and there are precedents in history, so if you want, the concubine ceremony can be grand.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy preparing for the ceremony after the status sealing, and the war-torn prefectures and counties in various places were gradually returning to normal order. The newspaper about Rong Xia's ascension to the throne was only distributed to all states, counties and surrounding countries at this time.

When the people in various states and counties heard that the new emperor was a good emperor, they all clapped happily.

As for the surrounding small countries, they did not dare to move during the civil war, let alone now that the new emperor had ascended the throne. The only thing they could think of was to send envoys non-stop to pay tribute and celebrate the new emperor, so as to find out the new emperor's attitude towards him. What do the surrounding countries think?

If the person who comes to power likes to fight in neighboring countries when he has nothing to do, they will not be able to survive.

"Your Majesty, be careful where you step."

Jiang Luo, who was not locked up in the prison, heard voices coming from outside and rushed to the cell door excitedly. For the past few days, no one had spoken to him, and he had almost been driven crazy. Now that he finally heard human voices, he felt that he was still alive.

Even if it was Rong Xia who came in, it didn't affect his excitement.

"Rong Xia, let me out, let me out."

"The King of Violence accepted the order."

This decree detailed Jiang Luo's several crimes, and finally gave him the title of King of Violence and imprisoned him for life.

"You can't do this to me, I am the emperor," Jiang Luo pulled at the cell door frantically, "You can't do this to me!"

Rong Xia calmly admired Jiang Luo's crazy appearance, and sat down on the chair. It was not until Jiang Luo became hoarse that he spoke: "King Ru, you have no conscience, and I can spare your life. It's for the sake of Queen Mother Fuping, otherwise I would have taken your head off your neck to comfort the living beings."

Jiang Luo leaned against the cell door and looked at Rong Xia desperately: "Rong Xia, you hypocrite."

Wang La opened the cell door, stepped forward and slapped Jiang Luo on the face a few times, then wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, Prince Ru, cannot be disrespectful to His Majesty. Although this slave's hands are missing three fingers, I still have the strength to hit people."

"What kind of a **** are you, you are worthy of shouting in front of me, bah!" Jiang Luo spat out a mouthful of blood, "The world said that I poisoned my father, but you didn't even take the bottle that day. . It’s ridiculous that everyone in the world praises Rong Xia’s kindness, but they don’t know that my father’s life was lost in your hands.”

Rong Xia listened to his yelling and cursed without making a sound.

Wang De slapped him twice again. After the slap, he respectfully bowed to Jiang Luo who was lying on the ground and said: "Your Highness, Prince Ru, I have already said that you must not be disrespectful to your Majesty. That bottle of □□ Although the slave didn't answer it, the other eunuchs did. Your Majesty cannot bear the sins you committed."

"Haha," Jiang Luo lay on the ground in embarrassment, unable to get up at all, "You and Rong Xia are colluding together to deceive the world, why are you pretending in front of me?"

"His Royal Highness King Ru, you are wrong again," Wang De said with a smile, "Your Majesty misses the late emperor and is grateful for the slave's loyalty to the late emperor, so he keeps the slave by his side to serve him."

"Hahahaha," Jiang Luo pounded the ground and laughed, "It's ridiculous. You murdered the emperor and rebelled for profit. You actually spoke so high-sounding that people in the world would be blind and deaf before they could praise you. This ambitious man is kind and kind."

Wang De kicked Jiang Luo a few times in confusion.

"Okay," Rong Xia interrupted Wang De and said to Jiang Luo calmly, "If you hadn't done something that made me unhappy, you would still be happy today."

"Bah!" Jiang Luo spat in the direction of Rong Xia.

"Du Jiu, break one of his arms." Rong Xia spoke lightly, as if she was talking about pouring a cup of tea.

Du Jiu, who had been standing behind Rong Xia, stood up and cupped his fists: "Your Majesty, which arm?"

Rong Xia was silent for a moment and affirmed: "On the left."

Du Jiu walked into the cell and stepped on Jiang Luo's left arm. There was a click and Jiang Luo's arm was broken.

"Ah!"

Jiang Luo's face turned pale in pain, like a frog with a bulging belly, looking ridiculous and terrifying.

Rong Xia admired his painful expression for a while, then stood up and said, "Don't let him die, let's go."

"Madman, madman," Wang Changqing, who was brought in at some point, said with a pale face, "Rong Xia, you said Jiang Luo was tyrannical, how are you any better than him?"

Xie Qilin, who was also being escorted, looked a little pale, but he looked at Jiang Luo who was crying in the labor and said nothing.

Rong Xia glanced at him faintly, her eyes full of indifference.

King Changqing noticed this look, which made him feel a little cold in his heart. He mustered up his courage and said: "You are so tormenting people, why don't you give me a good time."

"I didn't bring you here just to let you watch the show," Rong Xia suddenly laughed, "If you don't say anything, I will forget about you."

He smiled and said, "Tie him up."

Soon King Changqing was tied to the wall in a large shape. Rong Xia walked to the wall and took off a bow hanging on it. After playing the bow string, he suddenly pulled out an arrow, put it on the string and flew towards King Evergreen.

The arrow flew past King Changqing's arm, leaving a moderate gash.

Another arrow flew out. This arrow grazed the other arm, and King Evergreen had another wound on his body.

The Evergreen King, who had the guts and Rong Xia to speak harshly just now, is now as green and black as a trembling chaff.

"Bring Gao Wangsheng here." Rong Xia threw the bow and arrow to the ground.

Gao Wangsheng was quickly brought over by his guards. Rong Xia pointed at the Evergreen King who was tied to the wall: "I'll give you two choices. One is to stay in the sky prison for the rest of your life, and the other is to stay with him. Shoot ten arrows and you won’t die.”

Seeing King Changqing gagged and tied to the wall, Gao Wangsheng was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Rong Xia.

He is just an archer who is good at archery. He is lucky enough to be praised as having the legacy of Marshal Ban, but he knows very well that he is not even worthy of carrying the shoes of Marshal Ban, let alone any legacy.

Although Daye Dynasty no longer exists, he does not have the courage to harm the royal children. He knelt on the ground for a long time, Rong Xia didn't show any movement, and he understood.

He actually had no choice at all.

With trembling hands, he shot the first arrow. The arrow was a little crooked and hit the opponent's thigh. After the first arrow was shot, he felt less nervous, and soon the remaining nine were shot.

He glanced at the Evergreen King who had turned into a **** man, and then realized that he was covered in cold sweat.

Rong Xia turned to look at Xie Qilin for a long time, and suddenly said to the bodyguard: "Let these two people go."

Xie Qilin looked at Rong Xia in disbelief. Rong Xia would actually let him go?

After Rong Xia left, the guard took the keys and opened his handcuffs and leg irons, "Thank you, Master, please."

Xie Qilin looked back at the dying King Changqing and Jiang Luo, who was wailing softly, then turned and hurriedly left this dark and **** place.

The Evergreen King hanging on the wall looked at Xie Qilin's hurried back and chuckled, "Crazy, crazy, Rong Xia is a madman."

After Xie Qilin heard this, he walked faster until he ran out of the gate and into the crowd. The warm sunshine shone on him, and he dared to breathe heavily.

"Mom, what does that person do? He is so dirty."

"Go quickly, don't point fingers."

Hearing the whispers around him, he remembered that he was in a mess now. The robe he was wearing was the same one Rong Xia wore the day he entered the city, and it was stained with blood.

He walked towards Uncle Zhongping's residence. When he came to the gate, he saw a seal posted on it. This was no longer the place where he lived.

"Qilin," an old man holding a walking stick stopped him not far away, "Is this Qilin?"

He looked back at the old man, "Father?!"

Why did my father go through such vicissitudes of life?

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back," Xie Jinke walked tremblingly in front of Xie Qilin, wiping his tears and said, "Let's go back with father."

Xie Qilin supported Xie Jinke and nodded silently.

"Princess?"

Shi put down the curtain and said expressionlessly: "Where do the Xie family live now?"

"It seems like I live in a house in Bajiao Alley."

Shi suddenly sneered: "If Xie Qilin had married Banhua back then, there wouldn't be as many things happening today."

Without Banhua, Rong Xia would not have the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies in her hands, let alone the support of the generals. All these mistakes started when Xie Qilin and Banhua broke off their engagement.

But back then, it was their Shi family that broke the engagement between Banhua and Xie Qilin.

If she had known what would happen today, she should have stopped her sister's idea back then.

I had known today... I had known today...

She looked at the bustling capital. It had only been a few days, but these people had forgotten the Daye Dynasty and continued to live their lively days?
