Chapter 175: May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health 8

Ignoring the miserable cries of Duke Jingguo, Mei Xiangxue looked left and right and decided to use axial symmetry.

So she nailed Duke Jingguo's left hand to the ground.

During this period, she readjusted the position of her hands because they were a little high or low.

Looking at Duke Jingguo, who looked like a giant turtle with its four legs facing the sky, Mei Xiangxue nodded with satisfaction.

Well, now it looks good.

This scene stunned everyone, especially the people brought by Duke Jingguo. They looked at the boss who was captured first, and then looked at the Empress Dowager who was wiping the blood off her hands with a handkerchief as if nothing had happened. They didn't know how to react for a moment.

Mei Xiangxue threw the dirty handkerchief to the ground and winked at her son.

Mei Xiangxue: It’s your turn!

Mingang: OK, got it!

The young emperor stepped out from behind Zhong Yu, looked up at the rebels who had joined Duke Jingguo in the rebellion, and said loudly, "Duke Jingguo Mingluo has colluded with the enemy and committed treason, attempting to overthrow our Daliang Empire. This heinous crime deserves death. However, you are all citizens of Daliang, and you have been deceived by the thieves into committing such treasonous acts. If you surrender immediately, I will certainly show you a lighter sentence!"

The emperor's words were final. The people following Duke Jingguo looked at the people around him and were undecided for a moment.

"Dangdang!"

After the first person threw down his weapon, the sound of people falling to the ground was heard one after another, and soon there were people kneeling on the ground.

At this time, Prince An, fully armed, walked in with his men.

He bowed to the young emperor and said, "Your Majesty, all the rebels have been killed. I am honored to have fulfilled your mission!"

Ming Ang quickly helped him up and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang!"

The subsequent matters were handed over to Prince An and Zhong Yu. Ming Ang stayed in Taihe Palace. Mei Xiangxue ignored Zhong Yu's hesitant look and took Shang Lu and others back to Qingning Palace.

Looking at the Queen Mother's receding back, Zhong Yu felt mixed emotions.

In his eyes, the empress dowager was of humble origin but deeply loved by the late emperor. She was gentle, polite, sensible, and very lucky.

He never expected that the weak woman he thought was a weak man would actually knock down a big man in one go and pin him to the ground like a giant turtle. The huge contrast almost burned out the old man's CPU.

Thinking of Duke Jingguo, Zhong Yu became angry again and planned to scold him again.

As a result, when he turned around, he saw his beloved Emperor secretly stepping on Duke Jingguo's face.

The two men looked at each other. The little emperor paused in his action of stepping on the villain, then withdrew his foot as if nothing had happened, whistled to the sky and pretended to be busy.

Zhong Yu: ...

Forget it, the emperor is just a child after all.

As the old saying goes, there are three ultimate killers in the world:

Come here.

New Year's Eve.

Still a child.

These three sentences are extremely powerful. If used at the right time, they can calm all disturbances in an instant.

Therefore, the headline that would have become a hot search in modern society - "Shocking! A child beat up his uncle, is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature?" was completely calmed down by Zhong Yu's decisive words "He is still a child".

Except for Duke Jingguo, everyone is harmonious.

Prince An found the crown and dragon robe in Duke Jingguo's house, as well as many letters exchanged with the Yuan Dynasty.

Among them, there is also a list of personnel, which are all spies of the Jingguo Public Security Bureau planted around the ministers in the court.

However, even Duke Jingguo himself did not know that some of them were actually spies of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the original plot, the Yuan Kingdom attacked the Liang Kingdom, and the original body and the young emperor fled south in a hurry. Duke Jingguo, who thought he had won the victory, expressed his willingness to defend the city righteously on the surface, which won the goodwill of the people all over the world. However, when the Yuan army was at the gates of the city, he directly ordered people to open the city gates, causing the tragic deaths of countless soldiers and civilians. In the end, he was hacked to death by the Yuan people who were demolishing the bridge after crossing the river.

Mei Xiangxue looked at the gold and jade jewelry that Prince An had sent to her, which had been seized from Duke Jingguo's house, with a dull look on her face. She instructed Shanglu, "Take these to the Emperor and use them as a reward for the soldiers who performed outstandingly in this battle to slay the rebels."

Shang Lu bowed and said, "Yes."

There was a noise outside Qingning Palace. Xia Chan hurried over and whispered to Mei Xiangxue, "Empress Dowager, Concubine Wen Gui sent someone to ask to see you."

After the death of the previous emperor, Ming Ang promoted the concubines who were unwilling to leave the palace to a higher level, and Concubine Wen became Concubine Tai Wen.

In order to avoid involving others in this rebellion, Mei Xiangxue ordered people to guard Hechang Garden and ensure that no news could enter or leave.

Therefore, it was not until Duke Jingguo was executed that Concubine Wengui received the news.

Mei Xiangxue understood: "It's probably for Duke Jingguo. Then let's meet him!"

Mei Xiangxue sat at the head of the table, watching the plain-faced and lightly dressed Concubine Wen Gui bow to her: "Greetings, Queen Mother. May your Majesty be blessed with good health!"

Mei Xiangxue didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Are you doing this for Duke Jingguo?"

Concubine Wen was stunned and her face turned pale instantly. She seemed to have not expected that Mei Xiangxue actually knew about her and Duke Jingguo. She didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Duke Jingguo colluded with the Yuan Dynasty and committed treason. Did you know?" Mei Xiangxue raised her eyebrows.

"Impossible!" Concubine Wen shouted, "He is not that kind of person!"

Mei Xiangxue sighed: "It seems that you really don't know."

Concubine Wen's face was filled with disbelief: "Impossible! You can always find a pretext to accuse someone of something. He lost because he wasn't as skilled as the other person, but you can't just throw dirty water on him!"

"Tsk!" Mei Xiangxue was helpless. She signaled Chunyu to hand the confession of Duke Jingguo copied from the emperor to Concubine Wen.

After reading it, Concubine Wen fell to her knees, crying and remaining silent for a long time.

Just as the affairs in the capital were settled, the emperor received a memorial from Qin Dingxiang, asking whether he should pursue the victory against the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty has been frightened by the explosives, and it is a good time to switch between offense and defense.

After discussion, everyone voted in favor of attacking the Yuan Dynasty.

So, the Yuan soldiers who had finally escaped back to their own camp were shocked—

Eh? The door is broken!

When I looked again, oh my god, my land was occupied by my neighbor next door!

Qin Dingxiang stood in the Yuan Dynasty's palace and smiled kindly to Emperor Yuan: We are all family from now on, this is really cause for celebration!

Emperor Yuan: Don’t come over here!

The Liang State History Book records:

In the 26th year of Qinghe, the emperor passed away, and Crown Prince Ang succeeded to the throne in front of the coffin. He changed the reign title to Jiayuan and was known in history as Emperor Jiayuan.

In the second year of the Jiayuan reign, Mingluo, the Duke of Jingguo, rebelled and was suppressed by the emperor. In the same year, the Yuan Dynasty invaded the border but was defeated by General Qin Dingxiang, and the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed.

In the fourth year of Jiayuan, the Department of Engineering was first established in Beijing, specializing in technical education.

In the sixth year of Jiayuan, a female medical office was established in the capital.

In the 12th year of Jiayuan, the imperial examination system was reformed, and astronomy became a compulsory subject.

In the 15th year of Jiayuan, six-year compulsory education was established, with both boys and girls attending the same classes.

……

Mei Xiangxue is not her original self and has no interest in fish farming. When Ming Ang first ascended the throne, she consciously distanced herself from Prince An and Qin Dingxiang.

After Mingang got married and gained power, she took Shanglu and Chunyu Xiachan out of the palace and would not return unless necessary.

In the days that followed, she took Shang Lu and others to fight for justice when they saw injustice, and she indulged in her incognito travels.

Looking at the corrupt official who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy after she took out the Phoenix Seal, Mei Xiangxue smiled.

Sure enough, pretending to be cool is addictive!
