Chapter 287: Lead

The concubine in the palace died. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The royal family did not hide this matter, but summoned the world with great fanfare.

The emperor seemed to be too sad, and even the draft that was in full swing was suspended, and he also kept watch in front of the concubine's spirit for a night, and the next day when he went to court, his face was not very good, his eyes were black around him, and the whole spirit collapsed, and the first order was to posthumously crown Xiao Guifei as the imperial concubine, and the nickname Duanmin, and at the same time ordered to summon Xiao Qian, the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard, to return to Beijing quickly.

The posthumous affairs of Emperor Duanmin's concubine were also extremely glorious, making this woman, who was originally quiet in the back and palace for a while, once again become the focus of discussion among the courtiers and the people.

"I didn't expect the imperial concubine to go like this at a young age. ”

"Then Princess Fengqi and Princess Fengwu are pitiful. ”

"I heard that the emperor has not thought about tea and dinner for the past few days, and the whole thing is not good. ”

"How else to say that the saints are very affectionate today?"

"The Xiao family is now a prince of the country, and it is impossible to seal it. ”

"So when Xiao Shizi returns to Beijing, the emperor will never treat him badly. ”

"At least give him the title of county king, after all, there is already a precedent. ”

……

Qin Yue has been cowering in the mansion for the past two days, so naturally she didn't hear these remarks, but she could guess it.

However, the world still thinks too well of their emperor.

Since Feng Chen decided to make a move on the Xiao family, he naturally had a whole set of plans from the beginning. Xiao Guifei's death is just the first step, and it is also the last glory of the Xiao family.

Next, the Xiao family should be suppressed.

But Qin Yue didn't expect it to be so soon.

However, in just half a month, there were rumors among the people that Emperor Duanmin's concubine was not Xiao Guogong's own daughter, but an outcast raised outside.

As soon as the rumors came out, the people were in an uproar, and naturally there were people with good things to inquire around.

Immediately pulled out the poisonous lady, a woman who is notorious in the rivers and lakes. It is said that this daughter was the illegitimate child born to her and a flower thief.

Now the Xiao family is in big trouble.

The Xiao family took such a lowly illegitimate daughter to pretend to be a concubine to enter the palace to accompany them, and it was really ill-intentioned to deceive the saint for so many years.

The emperor was even more furious.

I thought that he was a dignified Son of Heaven, and he had spoiled a woman like a jewel for so many years, but he didn't expect that this woman was actually a fake, a tool that the Xiao family used in exchange for glory and wealth.

It's hateful! It's hateful!

The emperor was so angry that his blood surged, and he raised his head and a mouthful of blood spurted out, impregnating the recitals on the cases in front of him.

The emperor immediately ordered to take away the title of Emperor Xiao and reduce Concubine Xiao to concubine, and at the same time remove Concubine Xiao's coffin from the unclosed underground palace and bury her in an ordinary cemetery not far from the imperial tomb.

The Xiao family committed this great crime of bullying the king, and they should be punished.

So a few days later, the Xiao family was imprisoned.

Everything happened suddenly, and suddenly the courtiers didn't have time to react, and the Xiao family had already fallen.

Those courtiers who thought that the Xiao family would go to the next level a few days ago were all dumbfounded at this time, and they all wanted to return the generous gifts sent to the Xiao Guogong Mansion.

But it must not come back, because the emperor has already ordered the Xiao family to be sealed, and the person responsible for carrying out the order is the newly appointed deputy commander of the Dragon Praetorian Guard, Yan Yuan.

The courtiers suddenly realized.

It turned out that the emperor was not on a whim, but had the intention to deal with the Xiao family early on. I'm afraid that sending Xiao Shizi to go out secretly to run errands is also deliberately supporting him.

If Xiao Shizi is in Beijing, if the emperor wants to do something to the Xiao family, it will definitely not be so easy.

From that point of view, the cause of Xiao Guifei's death is difficult to say.

The courtiers who used to be very close to the Xiao family were so flustered that they couldn't eat or sleep. The current Xiao family is only guilty of defrauding the king, who knows if they will find out anything else if they continue to investigate.

After all, the spies of the Hu people who invaded the country and dynasty have not been found out last time. Although Cui Shu is dead, the blood letter he wrote before his death finally made the emperor suspicious...

The Qin family and the Xiao family are in-laws, so they were naturally affected in this matter.

But the Qin family is different from the Xiao family, there are the queen mother and Her Royal Highness the crown prince in the palace, there is Qin Guogong in the court, and Lord Qin, who has just been promoted to the secretary of the ministry, and Qin Zheng, the general of Dingyuan, who is about to go to the Gyeonggi camp.

The most important thing is that the emperor doesn't want to move the Qin family now.

Therefore, although the Qin family was impeached by those officials, they were all blocked by the emperor.

The old lady was a married woman, and she was married to Qin Guogong, so of course she was not implicated. But in such a situation, she wants to save her mother's family, but she is also more than willing to do it.

Qin Guogong was afraid that his old wife would do something wrong impulsively, so he deliberately went back to the backyard and beat her up.

In fact, they are all overly worried.

Although the old lady is impulsive and willful, she can still carry it clearly in such a big matter. She also entered the palace that day, but it was a coincidence that Concubine Xiao died that night.

Someone with a heart will naturally put Xiao Guifei's death on her head.

The conscience of heaven and earth, she didn't want to move Xiao Guifei's mind. After all, no matter what the Xiao family says, it is also their own mother's family, although it is not pleasing to see her competing with her daughter for favor, she still doesn't want her to die.

As for her background, the old lady didn't know at all.

Qin Yue also learned about Xiao Guifei's true life experience in Hulu Town.

Feng Chen's move was obviously to force Xiao Qianming to rebel.

The Xiao family has committed such a big crime, and Xiao Qian, who is the son of the Xiao family, of course can't get out of it. It is a dead end for him not to return to Kyoto.

But with Xiao Qian's temperament, he will definitely not come back and wait to be killed.

Feng Chen used Xiao Guifei as a raft, although Xiao Qian's sore spot was hit, but once this person became ruthless, he was ruthless enough.

Besides, strictly speaking, Xiao Guifei's affairs can only be regarded as the emperor's family affairs, in fact, they can be big or small, depending on how the emperor treats them.

Many courtiers thought the same thing in their hearts.

However, Yan Yuan, the newly appointed deputy commander of the Dragon Praetorian Guard, naturally had to burn three fires when the new official took office, and the courtiers had doubts about his ability in the past, so of course he had to behave well when he took this opportunity.

Therefore, the dragon guards successively searched a large number of gold, silver and jewelry from the Xiao family, as well as calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, and even found a lot of armor and ordnance from their basement.

Even if you have gold, silver and jewelry, as a dignified mansion, some family backgrounds should also be, but you also have private armor and ordnance, which is a bit overstepping.

The Dadu Dynasty clearly stipulates that courtiers cannot illegally possess armor and ordnance, and those who possess it privately will be punished for the crime of treason.

Therefore, this Xiao family not only committed the crime of bullying the king, but now they are also charged with rebellion.

This is a national sin.

Even if the emperor wants to protect it, he can't protect it. Maybe that's what the emperor meant...

It is said that Xiao Guogong, who has always been sick and weak, shouted in the prison so loudly that his voice was hoarse, and no jailer dared to give him a sip of water to drink, for fear of being implicated in the Xiao family's rebellion case.

Of course, the emperor also showed his selflessness, handed over the matter to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for a thorough investigation, and at the same time asked the Dragon Guards to cooperate well.
