Chapter 262 Speculation
At the same time.
Marquis Rong'an led a thousand personal soldiers, tore a hole in the killing, and escaped.
When the news of Marquis Rong'an's escape reached the palace, the already ill empress dowager fainted as if she could not catch her breath.
The Duke of Zhenguo was also greatly confused.
If Marquis Rong'an leaves, it will be like letting a tiger return to the mountains.
Originally, they agreed to let Rong Que return to Beijing, and were planning to kidnap Rong Que as a threat before Su Qingqing arrived in Beijing.
Now that Rong Anhou has run away...
If they really took Rong Que hostage, and Su Qingqing gave up, and Marquis Rong'an came back to attack again, they would be even more unable to resist.
While the palace was in chaos, Su Qingqing had already led her men into the Xishan camp.
The original soldiers of the Xishan camp were driven out by her. Those people were originally veteran soldiers and ruffians, and now the situation was in chaos.
On the one hand, the Duke of Zhenguo had to guard against Su Qingqing's men from breaking into the capital, on the other hand, he had to relocate those in the Xishan camp who were driven out by Su Qingqing's men, on the other hand, he had to appease his own troops, and at the same time, he had to guard against Su Qingqing and Rong Que doing something bad to the new emperor.
At the same time, Su Qingqing's old subordinates who were still alive, those who had followed her in the Su family army, had been gathering in Kyoto from all over the country.
Among them were those of Lieutenant General Zhao who had been rescued from prison by Su Qingqing before, and many who had stayed in other military camps to continue serving.
As soon as he arrived in Kyoto, he was immediately accepted by Wang Yu into the current Su family army.
The already powerful team became even more famous with the return of these people.
With them around, Su Qingqing brought Jixiang back to the capital without any hesitation.
The former Prince's Mansion is now the Prince of Zhen'an's Mansion.
Ming and Minglu took Rongque's secret guards to set up defenses in Prince Zhen'an's Mansion early in the morning.
All the servants in the mansion were transferred by the Duke of Zhenguo. Rong Que dismissed these people when he entered the mansion. The dowry of Su Qingqing from Zhaoguo, who had left with the large army at that time, moved into the palace again.
All services in the mansion will be temporarily taken care of by these people.
Fortunately, there are only two masters in the mansion, Su Qingqing and Rong Que, and they are more than enough to take care of these people.
According to Su Qingqing's instructions, the entire palace, except for the main courtyard where Su Qingqing and Rong Que lived, and the courtyards where several servants lived, left out an outer study and a meeting hall, and the rest was renovated into a martial arts hall.
Su Qingqing asked Wang Yu to select a thousand elite soldiers from the army, and Su Qingqing brought these people in for training.
How can the palace guards be without their people?
How could the Beijing Guard Camp in the city be without their people?
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed since Rong Que returned to the capital. The people of the capital have resumed their daily lives, but the court and the palace are still in turmoil.
No one else is mentioned, only the new monarch and the young emperor.
Rong Que has not entered the palace or attended court since returning to Beijing, but the more this happened, the more the new emperor feared Rong Que.
He cried and hugged the Duke of Zhenguo's knees, "Grandfather, I'm scared."
He was really scared.
" My grandson wants to go back to the northwest."
The Duke of Zhenguo also wanted to do so.
He even envied King Yu and Marquis Rong'an. After all, they were back in their own territory and everything was free.
Unlike now, although he has a large number of troops, these troops are under the noses of Su Qingqing's gang. Not to mention it is like an egg hitting a rock, his people have lost their fighting power from the bottom of their hearts.
From beginning to end, it seemed as if all this happened for just one purpose.
Rebuild the Su family army for Su Qingqing.
Let Su Qingqing restore her other identity!
If this goes on, there will be only one outcome for everyone. If Rong Que is merciful, they will be imprisoned. If Rong Que is ruthless, everyone will surely die.
Rong Que returned to the capital naturally for the throne.
The Duke of Zhenguo thought for a long time. He gently rubbed the young emperor's head and said, "Grandfather will take you back to the northwest. Don't be afraid."
The young emperor trembled, raised his head, sobbed with tears in his eyes, "Really? Can we go back? They all said that the prince came back to kill me. Will he let me go?"
The Duke of Zhenguo touched the young emperor's head, his eyes reddened, "Rang, you must listen to your grandfather. Go back and have a good sleep. When you wake up, eat well. When you are well, your grandfather will take you back to the northwest."
The young emperor nodded, "Grandson listens to grandfather."
After coaxing the little emperor, the Duke of Zhenguo dragged his tired body to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother had heard about the conversation between the grandfather and grandson early in the morning. "Do you want me to pass on the emperor's order to abdicate and let Rong Que ascend the throne? I will not agree."
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at the Queen Mother. From the beginning of the war until now, he had never been as calm as he was at this moment.
Once you figure everything out, there will naturally be no more ups and downs.
"Do we have a choice?"
The Queen Mother had been ill for several days and her face looked very grim. "Why not have a choice? As long as the young emperor is in power, Rong Que will have no chance to ascend the throne. Once he ascends the throne, he will be a traitor. How can he easily tarnish his reputation that he has cleared with great difficulty?
As long as the emperor is here, we have a chance.
What are you afraid of? Even if Rong Que has all the power and authority, even if he controls the government, he can only be a powerful prince. He will not touch the emperor at all.
At least, he wouldn't do that until King Yu was eliminated.
We have plenty of opportunities!
Even if he sidelines the emperor and treats him as a puppet, so what? As long as the emperor is alive, I will always be the Grand Empress Dowager."
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at the Queen Mother, "What if he attacks the Emperor? The Emperor is young, and it is normal for him to die of a serious illness.
Even if he doesn't, what about those who want to curry favor with him?
Can we keep an eye on the emperor all the time?
Even if you can keep an eye on him, as the Queen Mother, don't you know how easy it is to kill a child in the palace?
This is my only grandson. I have no other thoughts but to let him live."
The Queen Mother sneered, "How naive! You think Rong Que will let you take him away if you want to eliminate the roots? Besides, we have trump cards in our hands."
The Duke of Zhenguo was stunned.
The Queen Mother said, "Why do you think Rong Que must return to the capital? Does he really want to clear his name? He doesn't care at all. He is much more comfortable in Datong than in Kyoto.
As long as Marquis Rong'an really fights with us, he will be the one who benefits the most.
But he still came back. Do you really think that my temptation worked?"
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at the Queen Mother without saying a word.
"Su Qingqing, she is Yu Yang's daughter."
The Duke of Zhenguo was suddenly shocked. "Who?"
The Queen Mother sneered.
"I just got the news. Su Qingqing, no matter she is General Su of the Great Yan Dynasty or the legitimate princess of the Zhao Kingdom, she has only one identity, Yu Yang's biological daughter.
Tell me how Yu Yang died.
Su Qingqing knows her own life experience. Do you think she will not investigate the cause of Yu Yang's death?
If she wants to investigate, she won't touch us for a while.
Without us, she wouldn’t be able to find out anything.”
The Duke of Zhenguo immediately said: "But Yu Yang..."
The Queen Mother made a gesture to silence her, "If you don't say it and I don't say it, who will know?"
