Chapter 1131
Hong Yang's family background was clean, and his ancestors had produced many famous generals. He himself was also a very outstanding general, not a fool.
He is an expert at leading troops in battle. Today, the border west of Xiucheng is guarded by the Hong family army.
But Hong Yang was greedy for money and lustful, and he was bewitched for a long time by the Jiang sisters arranged by the Empress Dowager. He had long been loyal to the Empress Dowager rather than the emperor.
In his previous life, although Emperor Rongguang was the new emperor designated by Emperor Mingde to succeed him, many loyal ministers in the court still raised objections.
Hong Yang and Emperor Rongguang had conflicts many times over the cause of Emperor Mingde's death. For this reason, a large number of loyal ministers even followed Hong Yang's lead and obeyed his orders.
Who would have thought that those voices soon disappeared, some died, some were exiled, and only Hong Yang, who was mixed in, was promoted and given a higher title, and was very happy.
The empress dowager was smart in that she did not just drag a few eunuchs out to take the blame, and the poisoning case remained unsolved. She even generously asked the Imperial Hospital to carefully record the symptoms of Emperor Mingde's poisoning and let the Imperial Hospital study the antidote for the poison.
Anyway, until the Queen Mother died, the Imperial Medical Bureau did not come to a decent conclusion. However, the suspicion of the Queen Mother's party was completely cleared.
Once, Emperor Rongguang let something slip, and then Anxia realized that General Hong was actually the Queen Mother's man.
That was just a show they jointly staged to eliminate dissidents. Only by letting Hong Yang infiltrate the dissidents could they better understand who had disloyal intentions.
Later, Hong Yang was granted the title of vassal king, and all the land west of Xiucheng became his fiefdom.
In fact, Xiucheng is also a natural barrier on the north wing. If Hong Yang had not colluded with the Liang people, Cangyu Pass would not have been so easily breached.
Hong Yang proclaimed himself king and established a country in the rear wing. It can be seen that this person is ambitious and wants to take over the northern wing.
Hong Yang was finally killed by Li Ren's army and Tang Jia's army, and the west of Xiucheng was recovered. The reason why he was destroyed was entirely because Liang State changed its emperor and was no longer his reliance.
Shi Anxia knew very well that if Shi Anrou did not reveal her secret of rebirth to the Empress Dowager, it was very likely that Hong Yang would still be hidden away as a loyal general.
The Queen Mother knew that Bushiya was a long-armed and bottomless pit, so she would not rely too much on the Wan people unless it was absolutely necessary.
But the situation is different now. Not only does the Empress Dowager have to rely heavily on the Wan people, but there is also little point in Hong Yang hiding. After all, those who are reborn should know Hong Yang's true face.
This is exactly the effect of catching everything in one swoop that Shi Anxia wanted.
If this plan goes smoothly, it is certain that the North Wing will be free from internal and external troubles and will be stable for hundreds of years.
When the couple arrived at Chaoyang Palace, the concubines, princes and princesses were already there waiting to be summoned.
Some old ministers were well-informed and came uninvited.
People from the Imperial Hospital came in and out, all with tired and frightened faces.
Shi Anxia had just taken a step forward, intending to approach the people from the Imperial Hospital to inquire about Emperor Mingde's condition, when she was gently but firmly stopped by Princess Yunlan beside her.
Princess Yunlan's eyes revealed a hint of dissuasion, and she whispered, "Father has been poisoned."
Shi Anxia's pupils trembled, "What? Wasn't father fine in the Jinghua Arena during the day? How did he get poisoned?"
Princess Yunlan shook her head. "Everyone in the palace is in danger now. Everyone is suspected of poisoning my father. Especially Princess Haiyan, you are a princess of a different surname, and you are close to my father, so you are more suspected than others."
"But I didn't enter the palace tonight..."
"My sister is still too naive." Princess Yunlan reached out and held Shi Anxia's hand. "Sometimes when poisoning someone, the person may not be present."
Upon hearing this, Shi Anxia nodded to Princess Yunlan and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Sister Royal." Then she pulled Cen Yuan aside.
The Chaoyang Palace was very lively.
