Chapter 97: The Liu family is overturned, and the road is at the end of spring next year
This year's honey mulberry festival passed in the wind and rain in the city.
Qin Tianjian looked at the yellow calendar for several days, and finally finalized the marriage date of Wei Mingyu, the king of Zhao, as quickly as possible, which was set for the twenty-ninth of this month. After Wei Mingyu received the holy decree, he didn't say anything, just locked himself in the room, and never stepped out of the room for three consecutive days.
However, he really doesn't need to, let alone step out of the door!
Liu Guogong's secret report worked, although there was no triage by the three divisions, but the review of the Inner Court Division was not covered, and he soon found tangible evidence to prove that what Mei Yanshan drank before the poisoning was indeed through Wei Mingyu's hands - and blamed Wei Mingyu for being unlucky, two days before the birthday banquet, he did go to the cellar once and stayed in it for a while.
Wei Mingyu explained that he was going to fetch imperial wine to drink with Emperor Shou, but at this cusp, Emperor Shou didn't dare to believe him easily.
The results of the investigation of the Inner Court Division were sent to Emperor Shou, and Emperor Shou did not say anything after reading it, but only ordered the Inner Court Division to announce to all the courtiers that the result of the investigation was that Mei Yanshan's poisoning was just an accident, and it was caused by the palace maid forgetting that she had just been exposed to the drug of poisonous rats, and she touched the wine glass, and it had nothing to do with anyone.
This palace maid who committed the crime was from Shen Guifei's palace, no wonder Wei Mingyu would be suspected, so he killed a hundred people, Emperor Shou personally ordered the cane to be killed, and the body was thrown out of the palace directly.
Of course, Liu Guogong was not satisfied with such a result, and wrote to implor the publication of evidence, but Emperor Shou ignored it.
Later, Liu Guogong gave up the pursuit.
For no other reason, Wei Mingchun got out of the shocking case of rebellion.
It doesn't matter what kind of confession the criminal department Shangshu presents, Emperor Shou insisted that Wei Mingchun's breakthrough into the secret passage was an accident, the seven kings conspired against him, and the crime was monstrous, and a total of thirteen people, together with his heirs, were all listed as the masterminds, and they were beheaded to show the public.
As for Wei Mingchun, he was already thinking about it, and he was involved in such a rebellious incident, no matter how tolerant Emperor Shou was, it was impossible to tolerate him anymore, and after thinking about it for more than a month, Emperor Shou personally annotated and exiled him to Qianzhou.
Wei Mingchun's life was saved for the time being, and it was already the best ending for the Liu family. After this incident, Liu Guogong, the old fox, completely understood Emperor Shou's thoughts. This gentle emperor knows as well as Spiegel in his heart, and knows everything about what his two sons do, so he should also see all the actions behind his back, and he can't bear it, but he is still afraid.
Liu Guogong knew in his heart that now that the Middle Palace had existed in name only, Emperor Shou remembered the help of Queen Liu, so he couldn't bear to abolish her, if he dared to act again, the next one to overturn would definitely be the Liu family.
To say that this Liu Guogong is also powerful, the veteran of the two dynasties, the Kyoto family, the vision and heart are absolutely incomparable, and he immediately gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and resigned from all his positions in the court.
In the resignation form, Liu Guogong claimed that he was old and frail, and was not suitable for serving in the court, and because Wei Mingchun was not taught enough, he was deceived by traitors, and he had no face to face Emperor Shou, so he resigned, hoping that Emperor Shou remembered the friendship that he had followed for many years, treated the queen of the middle palace well, and allowed him to return to his hometown in fine clothes.
Three days after Emperor Shou left the resignation letter on the imperial record, it was finally approved.
In just a few days, Kyoto seemed to have changed the sky, and the powerful Liu Guogong retired in an instant, handed over all the rights in his hands, and the descendants of the Liu family also collectively handed over their powers and withdrew from the Wei family's court. Liu Guogong took the Liu family to retreat to Jiangnan, returned to Yangzhou, the ancestral hometown of the Liu family, and lived a life of idle people ever since.
August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Liu family had all left Beijing yesterday, and the Liu family's house had become an empty house and was sold by a trading house.
Wei Mingxi and Fu Rongyue sat and stood in front of the huge willow mansion, looking at it fixedly. After the crowd of people dispersed, the prosperity of the past was left empty.
"When I was young, I once came to Liu's house with my fourth and fifth brothers. Wei Mingxi looked at it for a while, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "At that time, Mrs. Liu was still there, she was a very kind old man, and she always liked to give me hibiscus cakes to eat." The eldest brother was naughty at that time, and he would bully me from time to time, and the old woman would reprimand him when she saw him, saying that he did not look like a brother, which was not right. I was still young at the time, but I always felt funny when I heard it, laughing at her for not understanding the battles in the deep palace, the eldest brother never treated me as a brother, and he wished I died. ”
"This time, Mrs. Liu will be implicated to some extent. Fu Rongyue whispered: "It's a long way, I wonder if she can stand it?"
"The old lady died a long time ago, in the year I broke my leg. Wei Mingxi chuckled: "It was also from that time on, Liu Guogong acted more and more without scruples. ”
Fu Rongyue heard a little bit of extraneous sound from it: "Concubine Hui has a relationship with Old Madam Liu?"
"Hmm. The fourth and fifth brothers were all delivered by the old lady. Wei Mingxi nodded, his expression became confused and in a trance for a moment: "I don't know what the specific origin is, but I guess it is probably related to the origin of the concubine." People in the palace like to talk about my mother's concubine, saying that my mother's origin is unknown, and I have never heard my mother's concubine mention her mother's family, only once Mrs. Liu said that her mother's surname was Qiao. ”
Fu Rongyue was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered the rumors she had heard in her previous life, rumored that Concubine Hui first appeared in the army, and she was nicknamed "Female Zhuge ", Emperor Shou fell in love with her at first sight, but no one knew Concubine Hui's surname.
She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Wei Mingxi, although he was the son of Concubine Hui, he didn't know anything about his mother.
But then, she just smiled sarcastically, and pitied Wei Mingxi, why didn't she know anything about her mother?
As they spoke, they stopped talking and looked at the deserted courtyard.
Fu Rongyue bought this yard, but it was bought in the name of Zhan Da Niu, and the two of them came over today to step on it. I have seen and seen, it is getting late, Wei Mingxi wants to enter the palace to accompany Emperor Shou to admire the moon, and Fu Rongyue also wants to go back to the house to celebrate the festival with Fu Xingjian and other nominal "family members", the two of them are separated at the intersection, one south and one north leave silently on both sides, as if saying more will touch each other's sad past, but the two hearts are in front of this courtyard, because of the same sad reason, they feel unprecedentedly close.
Kyoto in August is destined to be eventful.
Wei Mingchun was exiled to Qianzhou, and fell from a high-ranking prince to a prisoner; King Zhao, who had always been favored, was involved in the poisoning of his courtiers, and although he was finally proved to be wronged, he was still inevitably influenced by public opinion in the end, and his reputation was damaged.
With two princesses in one door, the Marquis of Zhongsu's Mansion can be said to have become the fragrant bait of Kyoto overnight, and the limelight directly overshadowed the old mansion of Cai Guo, which produced two concubines in one door!
However, this Zhongsu Marquis Mansion, which seems to be fragrant, is brewing a storm at this time......
In the Zhongsu Marquis Mansion, Fu Xingjian sat alone at the desk, staring at the guard kneeling in front of him with a very gloomy expression, the murderous aura in his eyes made a layer of fine cold sweat break out on the guard's back, and his words trembled a little: "Hou Ye, the specific process is like this." According to the confession of this Taoist priest, the so-called phoenix life is all fake, and it is a lie that the lady and him have joined forces to deceive the Hou Ye!"
After the guard finished speaking, he didn't dare to come out, and lay on the ground silently.
Fu Xingjian's gaze fell on the guard's body like a knife, and the hands on the desk slowly clenched into fists, tight and loose, loose and tight, but in the end he didn't say anything, and waved his hand to let the guard retreat.
After the guards left, Fu Xingjian held it on the Taishi chair in a dejected manner, with an extremely mocking smile on his face.
Thinking that he was loyal to the Marquis, he was played around by the little woman of the Bai family, not only did his head become green as a grassland, but even his own expectations were manipulated by her, and she kept him in the dark for more than ten years!
Bai's ah, Bai's, it's a pity that she died so easily, I knew that today, that day, he would be merciful, how to leave people in return well, in order to relieve the hatred in his heart......
Suddenly, the smile on Fu Xingjian's face changed, and he suddenly became cold and bloodthirsty. The Bai family is dead, Fu Yue is dead, and Fu Ronghui, a wild species, has also received retribution, but Fu Rongqin is still there!
Everything he has lost and tasted, he has to get back from Fu Rongqin!
Fu Xingjian narrowed his eyes, sat up straight again, and his fingers unconsciously knocked on the handle of the Taishi chair, and his heart was already quickly calculated.
Fu Rongqin is his daughter, he will not take her life, but torturing a person is not the only one. Fu Rongqin only cares about a Wei Mingyu, and she has got it now. But what if you get it...... What kind of person Wei Mingyu is, Fu Xingjian knows better than anyone that Wei Mingyu can give up anything for the sake of interests. I have to think of a way to not only make Wei Mingyu give up Fu Rongqin, but also not affect the Zhongsu Marquis Mansion and his relationship with Wei Mingyu, but also ensure that one day Wei Mingyu ascends the throne, there will still be a place for him Fu Xingjian in the court!
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and suddenly thought of someone.
Fu Rongyue......
"Haha, haha......" Fu Xingjian laughed lowly, and immediately, this laughter turned into a crazy laugh, and a crazy plan took shape in Fu Xingjian's heart.
In the Xiaoxiang courtyard, Fu Rongyue sat under the lamp and read the book quietly, completely unaware that her fate was swaying from side to side at this moment.
She looked at it for a long time, felt a little sleepy, and told Merlin to turn off the lights and prepare to go to bed. At this moment, there was a fluttering sound on the windowsill, and Mei Shan pushed open the window to see that it was the carrier pigeon that Wei Mingxi used to deliver the message had arrived.
Mei Shan took down the secret letter and handed it to Fu Rongyue, Fu Rongyue read it again, her face suddenly changed, and she ordered Mei Lin to call the pothos over. As soon as the others entered the door, she handed the letter to the pothos.
Lu Luo took the letter handed by Fu Rongyue for some reason, read it at a glance, and her face suddenly changed, and she exclaimed, "Miss, how can this be?"
