Chapter 107 The Arrival of the Regent
Murong Zhuangzhuang's words made the people present speechless.
Liang Wang's reputation is very bad, cruel, cruel, abuse of concubines, it is simply a bad reputation, and it is beyond words.
The queen did not expect that Murong Zhuangzhuang would propose to King Liang, so she fell silent for a while.
On the contrary, the prince said coldly: "The eldest princess's words are really puzzling. It's not that I don't respect my elder brother, but that any uncle and prince present here are better than him."
Murong Zhuangzhuang couldn't refute it either, she came here just as a temporary gamble, and there was nothing she could do to suggest King Liang, because only King Liang was the queen's biological son, so the queen wouldn't object like this.
But obviously, she was also wrong. After all, it was impossible for the Taifu to establish King Liang, because King Liang belonged to the Regent King's faction.
But since Murong Zhuangzhuang has proposed a candidate, it is considered that there is competition, and the voting can officially begin.
But the result was as everyone expected, the prince won by a large margin.
Mrs. Liang sat at the banquet, his small eyes gleamed with pride, the beard at the corner of his mouth twitched, and he pulled out a meaningful smile.
When the crown prince gains power, it is his Tai Tuo who gains power, and controlling the crown prince in the future is equivalent to controlling the Great Zhou.
The prince was very happy, and knelt down to the empress dowager, "The grandson will definitely remember the teachings of the emperor's grandmother and father, take the country, the country, and the people of the Great Zhou into consideration, be diligent in government, love the people, and practice benevolence."
The empress dowager's eyes were dark and unclear, "The prince just remember it."
Her voice was exhausted, she was too aware of the consequences of the power of the crown prince falling on him, the emperor said when he was seriously ill that if the power of the Tai Tuo did not disintegrate, the crown prince would not be able to ascend the throne or be in charge, this is how the regent supervised the country .
Empress Dowager, you didn't give your concubines a clear path!
Now that there is a candidate to be in charge, he can renew the peace agreement with Lord Qi of Beimo as a supervisor of the country.
Just when the prince was about to seal the prince's seal, a voice shouted, "King Nanhuai is here!"
Everyone looked up, and saw King Nanhuai leading a few people walking over quickly. His face was livid and angry, before he stood still, he stared at the prince and said sharply: "Wait a minute, you have no right to rule."
The prince said angrily: "King Nanhuai, how dare you break into the palace for no reason?"
King Nanhuai said coldly: "This king did not break into the palace for no reason. The empress dowager had already given me a message. This king is the guest of honor tonight."
He strode forward, looked around the crowd, and said in a sonorous and forceful voice: "Everyone, this king didn't come late on purpose, but went to investigate something after receiving the letter."
Liang Taifu said dissatisfiedly: "What is more important for you to investigate than to renew the alliance with Beimo?"
King Nanhuai narrowed his eyes, and there was a venomous snake-like light in his eyes, but his face was full of hatred and anger, "Teacher, there is nothing more important than signing an alliance with Beimo, but the person in charge cannot be a murderer." .”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was shocked.
The prince was trembling with anger, "King Nanhuai, what nonsense are you talking about? When did this Palace become a murderer? You don't have to be here to bite!"
King Nanhuai said coldly: "I'll know in a while whether I've been grabbing or biting indiscriminately."
After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands and said, "Bring it up!"
After a while, I saw guards escorting several people up.
These people were wearing strong clothes and had wounds on their bodies and faces, which showed that they had been tortured.
Ni Rong and some of the palace's personal guards also came up. Ni Rong's injury is still not healed, and he needs someone to help him walk.
The Empress Dowager asked in surprise, "King Nanhuai, who are these people?"
King Nanhuai cupped his hands and replied: "After returning to my mother's words, the guards of the palace identified these few people as the ones who set up an ambush to kill the emperor's brother that day."
"What?" The Empress Dowager was shocked, "The person who killed Ah Jie?"
All the officials were startled and looked at those people suspiciously.
Prince An looked at Ni Rong, Ni Rong took a step forward and said: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, I recognize these people who are officially ambushing us."
Liang Taifu sneered, "King Nanhuai, these people are the ones who killed the regent, what does it have to do with the crown prince?"
King Nanhuai looked at him with cold eyes, "After interrogation, they confessed the person behind the scenes."
Mrs. Liang was startled, and then laughed loudly, "It's ridiculous, it's extremely ridiculous. Is the prince trying to identify the official and the crown prince behind the scenes? If you want to frame the crown prince and frame the official, you have to bring some real evidence. According to several people, this official and the crown prince instigated, do you really think that the people present are fools? Let you be fooled casually?"
Nanhuai Wang smiled coldly, took out a piece of letterhead from his sleeve pocket, shook it in front of Mrs. Liang, and then presented it to the Empress Dowager, "Mother, this is the letterhead I found from the assassin, you can check with the Grand Scholar, who is it?" handwriting!"
When Taifu Liang saw the letter, his face changed abruptly. It was impossible. This letter was written by him, and it was addressed to the leader of the ambush assassins. However, none of the people kneeling here today are people he found.
Moreover, all the assassins he was looking for had left the capital.
No, Ni Rong pointed out that these assassins were the ones who ambushed the Regent that night, and Ni Rong would not cooperate with King Nanhuai. In this way, this group of people were those who appeared that night inexplicably.
Taifu Liang suddenly woke up, and looked at King Nanhuai suddenly, "It turns out..."
It turned out that the second group of assassins that night were from King Nanhuai. No, even the assassins he had found were all from him. Otherwise, how could the news be leaked to King Nanhuai? And, how did this letter end up in their hands?
But, it's not right, King Nanhuai hadn't returned to Beijing at that time, so he didn't have time to deploy defenses, who could it be?
The face of the imperial concubine appeared in his mind, which shocked him greatly. Could it be her?
The Empress Dowager looked at the letter, and her expression changed drastically. The content of the letter mentioned the specific content of the ambush of the Regent, and also mentioned the Prince, and it was the seal of the Taifu.
The empress dowager's fingertips trembled slightly. If the content of the letter did not mention the prince, she would immediately order someone to verify the handwriting.
However, she couldn't just make it public when the prince was involved.
But there was no way to keep it secret, all civil and military officials were present to watch, even Prince Qi of Beimo was there, so no matter what, they couldn't hide it.
The corner of Nanhuai King's mouth curled into a sneer, he walked straight over, passed the pale prince, and stood beside the empress dowager.
In front of him, he held another piece of paper in his hand, "Empress Mother, my son recommends himself to take over the post of supervisor for the time being."
The empress dowager looked at him with complicated eyes and understood what he meant. If she personally issued an order, she could overturn the decision just now.
As long as she makes a decree, then what will be revealed to the minister is the piece of paper in his hand, which can keep the crown prince.
It turned out that Eunuch Sun was not wrong, he really came back with ambition, she was too naive.
The Empress Dowager kept staring at King Nanhuai, sneered, and lowered her voice angrily: "The Ai family underestimated you."
King Nanhuai smiled, "The queen mother approves, but my son and minister are terrified."
The Empress Dowager stood up, her body trembling slightly, Eunuch Sun hurriedly supported her, she looked around the crowd and said, "Eunuch Sun, draw up an order!"
The queen stood up in amazement, and quickly looked at Mrs. Liang. Seeing Mrs. Liang's ashen face, she also stopped in fright.
At this moment, the ceremonial eunuch's shout came from outside: "The regent is here!"
