Chapter 69: The Abolition

"Greetings to the Holy Empress Dowager. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Empress Wang stepped into the more deserted Xianyang Palace. Since Jingtai announced the holy decree of abolishing the crown prince, these palace people have almost stopped working. Only Liang Fang and Ruoxue were cleaning in the yard, but they were as tidy as usual.

"Mother, why are you here?" Ruoxue put down the broom in surprise and saluted Queen Wang.

"I'm going to take a look at the Holy Queen Mother and... King Yi. Queen Wang didn't seem to be very accustomed to the title of "King Yi", and when she remembered the bits and pieces with Xianyang Palace, her eyes were red.

"The queen is here? Come into the house, please. Empress Dowager Sun also greeted her.

After a simple greeting, the three of them were relatively speechless. "Hey, look at me, I didn't see it, I forgot to make tea for my mother." Ruoxue wiped the corners of her eyes, and broke the silence with a forced smile.

"Aunt Wan, no need. I'm here today to see the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince, and see what you need my help with when you leave the palace. ”

"Mother, don't bother about this. We've pretty much cleaned up. If you get too close to us, I'm afraid it will be bad for you in the future. After all, Hang Guifei is about to have a mother and a son. Ruoxue really instructed.

"I heard Tang Shuyuan say, what happened on the fifteenth! The Holy Empress Dowager, don't worry, the concubines will definitely come out! In the harem, how can such a dirty thing be allowed to happen! Queen Wang's face was upright.

"No! Queen, the mourning family knows that you are a good boy, but this matter has passed, so you should not know anything! The most important thing at the moment is that Shen'er is safe. Empress Dowager Sun tried her best to dissuade her.

"Niangniang, since we have admitted this matter, it will be over, and Niangniang must not interfere anymore. Niangniang, after we leave the palace, you must be thoughtful in everything, and also, Tang Shuyuan, you don't have to trust her completely. Ruoxue really doesn't worry about this upright and simple queen, she is not the opponent of Tang Hang and the others in this harem.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Since I ascended the throne, all the military affairs, the use of people and administration, have not been tired of work, dare not be self-indulgent. Xu Yinghong continued, dreamed of being conscientious all night, looking up to the ancestor Mo Lie Zhao, entrusted to the heavy, undertaking the celebration of the line, and ending in Yuanliang. My eldest son, Zhu Jianji, to whom the will of heaven belongs, hereby abide by the first edict, carry the ceremony, bow to public opinion, and hereby tell heaven and earth, Zongmiao, Sheji, grant the treasure, establish as the crown prince, and be in the East Palace, with the unification of ten thousand years, and the heart of the four seas. I have been suffering from illness for a long time, and I have ordered the crown prince to hold the seal and ascend to the Wenhua Palace, divide the government, and raise the army and supervise the country. Everything that the hundred divisions played, all the crown prince decided. Announce it to the world, and make it hear. ”

On the first day of February in the second year of Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu announced that Zhu Jianji, the prince of the early dynasty, was the crown prince, and so far, Hang Guifei's ambition to seize the crown was satisfied.

"Wait!" The ministers turned around, and for some reason, Empress Wang appeared in the court with the imperial kitchen of Dongying.

"Queen, how could you have come in the early dynasty? Don't hurry up and get out of here! When Zhu Qiyu saw Queen Wang, he couldn't help but think of the quarrel that took place in Kunning Palace that day.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say, please allow the concubine to finish what she wants to say, and the concubine will be at the emperor's disposal." Queen Wang is wearing a hundred birds and phoenix court clothes, and she wears a crown of nine phoenixes flying to the sky, which is completely different from the usual plain and elegant, and she has the bearing of a queen in the world.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the queen in full costume, and couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion, "Queen, I will give you this opportunity, you can say it." ”

Empress Wang was deeply blessed, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince is not enough to be in the East Palace." Do you know that on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, Concubine Hang used puffer fish soup to poison the empress dowager and the abolished prince? Concubine Hang did this just for the position of the East Palace. Hang Guifei is so ambitious, how can He De raise the prince? ”

Every time Queen Wang said a word, Zhu Qiyu's face became ugly. "Empress, do you have any evidence to prove that Concubine Hang poisoned and killed the abolished prince?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine brought the Dongying Imperial Kitchen, and he can prove that Concubine Hang asked the palace maid to go to the imperial dining room that night and ordered tetrodotoxin to be retained." Empress Wang asked Dongying's imperial chef to step forward.

"See the emperor." The Imperial Chef stepped forward to salute.

"I ask you, Hang Guifei's people told you personally, does puffer fish retain toxins?"

The palace maid next to the concubine told the minister that the waste prince didn't like to drink thick soup, so she specially asked the minister to boil it lightly. The minister also reminded that this puffer fish soup is not thick, and it may have toxins. But the palace maid still insisted on boiling light soup. The minister had no choice but to put aside a few more spoonfuls of salt, and a small amount of salt was not enough to be fatal. The imperial chef replied word by word.

Zhu Qiyu's face became more and more ugly, and finally interrupted the imperial chef's words in anger: "Enough, queen, don't you think it's ridiculous that you brought the imperial chef to me to expose the so-called poisoning of the concubine?" My decree has been read, do you want to make me a joke in the world? ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine just wants to tell the emperor, please think twice, His Royal Highness the Prince really can't be the prince." Queen Wang "plopped" and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty! Don't fall for the schemes of traitors and lose the world! ”

"Adulterer? World? Do you mean I'm stupid and gullible traitors?! You, you're simply getting more and more lawless. Zhu Qiyu pointed to Queen Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, and was furious.

"Someone came, Queen Wang, interfering in the government and politics, it is really a loss of women's words and women's morality, which is not enough to be the middle palace and the mother of the world. Now take back his gold treasure gold seal gold book, enter the cold palace, and think about it! ”

"The emperor thinks twice." The ministers knelt down and begged for mercy for the queen. Zhu Qiyu looked at the person below who had walked with him all the way through the ups and downs, not only rose with a sense of compassion, but when he thought about this upright woman who usually valued trust, he was so presumptuous in front of the ministers in the court today, and he lost face, so he rushed to the top of his head with a wave of anger, and felt that the queen was even more hateful.

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes, was ruthless, and said with a long sigh: "Come on, take the queen down." All the Qing family, let's retreat if you have nothing to do, I'm tired. With that, he fled and left the court that had made him lose face.

In the Forbidden City, Zhu Qiyu sat on the imperial coffin and vaguely heard the sound of the pipa in Weiyang Palace.

"Go to Weiyang Palace!" What Zhu Qiyu especially wanted to see at this time was Tang Shuyuan, who was somewhat similar to Ruoxue.

"The emperor has arrived!" Cao Jixiang's sharp report came from the gate of Weiyang Palace.

Tang Caiping stopped playing the pipa and helped his eight-treasure golden hairpin: "Niu Yu, take a look, is the dress of the palace decent?" ”

"Ouch, my mother, you are the most beautiful, this emperor is coming to the door, you can hold on." Niu Yu half-urged and half-coaxed Tang Caiping out.

"The concubines see the emperor." Tang Caiping bent down softly and knelt down to worship the ground.
