Chapter 811

Today, the atmosphere in Shengjing city is particularly tense. There are officers and soldiers in a hurry everywhere.

It is said that the king of England was kidnapped and his whereabouts are still unknown.

The city gate has been blocked. You are allowed in and out.

Officers and soldiers are searching door to door. Whoever dares to resist will be arrested and put in prison.

All the people in the city were so frightened that they hid in the house and didn't dare to run around.

There were few pedestrians in the street, and the shops on both sides were deserted.

An anonymous letter was suddenly received in the king's house.

The housekeeper delivered the letter to the princess.

Bu Shengyan opened the letter paper and found that it was a letter sent by the kidnappers. It said that the king and the imperial concubine were in their hands. If they wanted people to live, they would redeem them with 800000 liang of silver.

In addition to the ransom, they have a very special request.

They asked by name that the hongguogong must come to pay the ransom in person.

If Hong Guogong didn't personally pay the ransom, the kidnappers would rather not pay the ransom than kill and tear up the ticket directly.

Along with the letter came the jade pendant worn by Luo yechen and a pearl hairpin of the imperial concubine.

Bu Shengyan asked, "where is the messenger?"

The housekeeper said truthfully, "the letter was put at the door of the palace. When the porter heard the knock to open the door, he only saw the letter on the ground at the door, but no one."

Bu Shengyan nodded to show that he knew.

With a calm face, she stuffed the letter into her sleeve, hurried out, turned on her horse and went straight to the palace.

In the palace, Luo QingHan already knew that the imperial concubine and the British king were kidnapped at the same time.

He ordered the patrol department and the people of Jingzhao mansion to search and arrest the whole city and be sure to find them.

At the same time, he also deliberately suppressed the news that the imperial concubine had been kidnapped, and only said that the British king had been kidnapped.

After all, the imperial concubine is a woman. If the news of her kidnapping comes out, even if she can retire in the end, her reputation will become unbearable.

In this world, some people like to guess others with the greatest malice.

Luo QingHan doesn't want Xi Xi to be pointed out.

Father Chang came in and respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the princess of England wants to see you."

Luo QingHan: "Xuan."

Soon, Sheng Yan came in.

She blessed the emperor, then took out the letter paper in her sleeve and went straight to the point.

"The minister's wife received a letter from the kidnapper."

She handed the letter along with the jade pendant and the Pearl hairpin.

Luo QingHan first opened the letter, read the contents, and then looked at the jade pendant and Pearl hairpin.

Things are indeed on Luo yechen and Xiao Xixi, which shows that they are indeed in the hands of the kidnappers.

If you want them to live well, they have to do what the kidnappers ask.

Luo QingHan said in a deep voice, "Duke Xuanhong enters the palace."

"Here."

The Duke of Hong was surprised to learn that the emperor had declared himself into the palace.

Although he is the emperor's uncle, in fact, the relationship between the two is not very close. The emperor is a cold-blooded person. If it is not necessary, he rarely calls his relatives to the palace.

With great perplexity, Hong Guogong changed his clothes and entered the palace in a carriage.

He bowed to the emperor.

Luo QingHan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He directly told him about the kidnapping of the imperial concubine and the British king, and hoped that he would come forward to deliver the ransom. After the success, he would benefit.

Hong Guogong was very frightened when he arrived.

He waved his hand hastily.

"No, no, no, I'm old and my legs are not sharp. I really can't do such a thing. Maybe I'll drag down the king and imperial concubine. Your majesty should ask for another expert."

Luo QingHan looked at him coldly.

"The kidnapper asked you by name to pay the ransom. You must go here. If you don't want to go, I'll punish you for disobeying the imperial edict. You can weigh it yourself."

Seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, Hong Guogong knew that he could not escape this time. He had to retreat and ask for the second place. He began to talk about terms with the other party through this matter.

"Your Majesty, if you want me to come here, I can only obey you.

But your majesty also knows that the kidnappers are cruel.

If they suddenly become fierce and want to kill Weichen, Weichen has no resistance at all.

Of course, when Wei Chen is old, he will die if he dies. It's no pity.

Poor little minister's children and grandchildren. How sad they would be if little minister were gone. "

Luo QingHan asked coldly, "how do you want to take this trip?"

In the hearts of the people of Hong Kong, they are making crazy calculations.

This is a great opportunity to ask for benefits!

Looking at the emperor, it seems that as long as the king and the imperial concubine can come back safely, he can make very big concessions.

Hong Guogong is now a Duke of the kingdom. Further up, he will be crowned king.

In the Dasheng Dynasty, only the prince and his descendants can be granted the king. The only king with a different surname is king Chen Liu, but all his sons died, and the end was very sad.

With the bloody example of King Chen Liu, the Duke of Hong had an instinctive fear of becoming a king with a different surname.

As for the official position, he is not interested in being an official, and he knows he is not an official.

Even if he is a senior official, it is estimated that he will not be a senior official for long, and he will soon have to be impeached and dismissed.

As for money, he has no shortage.

He has no shortage of beauty.

He thought and thought, and a bold idea came into his mind.

Before the emperor's draft, the Hongguo government prepared two girls. One of them entered the palace and was awarded Lu Jieyu. I thought she could climb to the top with the help of the Empress Dowager and become the new queen.

Who knows, she was demoted as a waiter and put into the cold palace. It was a complete disaster.

Hong Guogong wanted to send another granddaughter to the palace, but the Empress Dowager stopped him.

Although I don't know the reason, the Empress Dowager said that, and the Hong Guo Gong couldn't say anything more, so he had to give up reluctantly.

At this time, looking at the young and handsome emperor, the Duke of Hong felt that he was a perfect match for 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 the grand duke and the Empress Dowager are gone, the Lu family can continue to be brilliant with the queen.

Hong Guogong had made up his mind and said immediately.

"Weichen has a granddaughter named Xinyao. She is sixteen years old. She is gentle and skilled. She has always admired her majesty and hopes to be with her majesty."

Luo QingHan looked at him for a long time.

"Do you want Lu Xinyao to enter the palace as a concubine?"

The Duke of Hongguo dared: "Xinyao is the legitimate daughter of the family and the heart treasure of Weichen. Weichen has loved her since childhood. Weichen once promised her that she would not be small."

Luo QingHan: "your ambition is not small."

The Duke of Hong Guo bowed down with his hands bent over his head and showed his sincere feelings.

"Wei Chen is now an old man, and fame, wealth and wealth are gone for Wei Chen.

Only the happiness of children and grandchildren has become the biggest concern in Weichen's heart.

If your majesty can fulfill Weichen's love for his granddaughter, Weichen will go through fire and water! "

Good morning, everyone~
