The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day
Chapter 811: Ask for benefits
Chapter 811
Today, the atmosphere in Shengjing is extremely tense, with officers and soldiers hurried everywhere.
It is said that the King of England was kidnapped, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
The city gate has been blocked, only entry is allowed and no exit is allowed.
The officers and soldiers were searching house-to-house, and anyone who dared to resist everything was arrested and put in prison.
The people in the city are all scared to hide in the house and dare not run around.
There are almost no pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides are deserted.
Suddenly received an anonymous letter in the Royal British Mansion.
The butler delivered the letter to the British princess.
Bu Shengyan opened the letter paper and found that it was a letter sent by the kidnappers, saying that the King of England and the noble concubine were in their hands. If they wanted someone to live, they would take eight hundred thousand taels of silver to redeem them.
In addition to the ransom, they have a very special request.
They named the surname and demanded that Hong Guogong personally came to pay the ransom.
If it was not for Hong Guogong himself to pay the ransom, the kidnappers would rather not pay the ransom, but would also directly kill and tear the ticket.
Along with the letter, there are also the jade pendant worn by Luo Yechen, and a pearl hairpin of the imperial concubine.
Bu Shengyan asked: "Where is the person delivering the letter?"
The butler said truthfully: "The letter was placed at the door of the palace. When the doorman heard a knock and opened the door, he only saw the letter on the floor at the door, but no one was seen."
Bu Shengyan nodded to show that she knew.
She stuffed the letter into her sleeve with a calm face, walked out quickly, turned on her horse, and went straight to the palace.
In the palace, Luo Qinghan has already learned that the imperial concubine and the British king were kidnapped at the same time.
He ordered the Department of Patrol and Defense and the people of Jingzhao Mansion to search the whole city, and they must be found.
At the same time, he also deliberately suppressed the news that the imperial concubine was kidnapped, and only said that the King of England had been kidnapped.
The imperial concubine is a woman after all. If news of her being kidnapped is heard, even if she can finally get out of her body, her reputation will become unbearable.
In this world, there are always some people who like to speculate on others with the greatest malice.
Luo Qinghan didn't want Xixi to be pointed out.
Father-in-law Chang came in, respectfully and authentically.
"Your Majesty, please see the Princess of England."
Luo Qinghan: "Xuan."
Soon Bu Shengyan walked in.
She blessed the emperor, and then drew out the letter paper from her sleeve to open the door.
"The minister's wife received a letter from the kidnapper."
She passed the letter along with the jade pendant and pearl hairpin.
Luo Qinghan first opened the letter, read the contents inside, and then looked at the jade pendant and pearl hairpin.
The things are indeed Luo Yechen and Xiao Xixi's body, which shows that both of them are indeed in the hands of the kidnappers.
To keep the two alive, they have to follow the kidnapper’s requirements.
Luo Qinghan said solemnly: "Guogong Xuanhong enters the palace."
"Here."
Guo Hong was surprised to learn that the emperor announced that he had entered the palace.
Although he is the emperor’s uncle and grandfather, the relationship between the two is not very close. The emperor is a person with cold personality. If not necessary, he seldom calls his clan family to see him in the palace.
Hongguo changed his clothes full of confusion, and entered the palace in a carriage.
He bowed his hand to the emperor.
Luo Qinghan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly talked about the kidnapping of the imperial concubine and the British king, and hoped that he could come forward to pay the ransom on his behalf, and his benefits will be indispensable after the incident is completed.
Hong Guogong was shocked immediately.
He hurriedly waved his hand.
"No way, no way, the minister is getting older, and his legs are unfavorable. The minister is really unable to do things like this, and it may be a drag on the king and concubines. Your Majesty should ask you to be smart."
Luo Qing looked at him coldly.
"The kidnapper named you and asked you to pay the ransom. You have to go this time. If you refuse to go, I will punish you for a crime of violating the imperial edict. You can check it out for yourself."
Seeing the emperor, Hong Guogong had a firm attitude, knowing that he couldn't avoid it this time, so he could only step back and start to negotiate terms with the other party on this matter.
"If your majesty insists on the Weichen to go this trip, the Weichen can only obey.
But your Majesty also knows that those kidnappers are very cruel.
If they suddenly became aggressive and wanted to kill the Weichen, the Weichen would have no resistance at all.
Of course, Weichen will die if he is too old. There is nothing to be a pity.
The children and grandchildren of the poor minister, if the minister is not there, how sad they would be. "
Luo Qing asked in a cold voice: "How do you want to take this trip?"
Hong Guogong was thinking crazy in his heart.
This is a great opportunity to ask for benefits!
Looking at the emperor like that, it seems that as long as the British king and the imperial concubine can return safely, he can make very big concessions.
Hong Guogong is now the Guogong, and above it is the king.
In the great prosperous dynasty, only the prince and his descendants can be crowned kings. The only king with a different surname is Chen Liu, but Chen Liu and his family are all dead, and the end is very bleak.
With the **** lessons learned by Wang Chen Liu, Hong Guogong has an instinctive fear of becoming a king of a different surname.
As for the official position, he has no interest in being an official, and he also knows that he is not an official.
Even if he is a high-ranking official, it is estimated that he will not be long, and soon he will be impeached and dismissed.
As for money, he has no shortage.
There is no shortage of beauties.
He thought about it, and a bold idea came to his mind.
Before the emperor draft, Hongguo Gongfu prepared two girls. One of them was named Lu Jieyu after entering the palace. She thought that she could reach the top with the help of the Empress Dowager and become the new queen.
Who knows that she was eventually demoted as a waiter, and was also thrown into the cold palace, which was completely planted.
Hongguo wanted to send another granddaughter into the palace, but was stopped by the Queen Mother.
Although I don’t know the reason, the Empress Dowager said that. Hong Guogong couldn’t say more, so he could only give up unwillingly.
At this time, looking at the young and handsome emperor, Hong Guogong felt that he was a good match with his granddaughter,
If you can take the opportunity to let your granddaughter enter the central palace, it will undoubtedly add a great help to the Lu family.
In the future, even if Hong Guogong and Empress Dowager are gone, the Lu family can rely on the queen to continue its glory.
Hong Guogong had made up his mind and said immediately.
"Weichen has a granddaughter named Xin Yao, who is sixteen years old and has a gentle and skillful temperament. She has always admired her Majesty and hopes to be with her."
Luo Qinghan looked at him steadily, and said for a long time.
"Do you want Lu Xinyao to enter the palace as a concubine?"
Hongguo took the courage: "Xinyao is the daughter of the family, and the treasure of the Weichen. The Weichen has loved her since she was a child. The Weichen promised her that she would not let her be a child. "
Luo Qinghan: "Your ambition is not small."
Hongguo arched his hands and bends over, expressing his sincerity.
"Weichen is now very old, fame, wealth and money are all passing fame and wealth for Weichen.
Only the happiness of children and grandchildren has become the biggest concern of Weichen.
If your majesty can fulfill the love of Weichen for his granddaughter, even if Weichen can go through fire and water, he will not hesitate! "
