Chapter 30 The traitor is in charge

In Chang'an City, in the Queen's Palace, Queen Qiang held the letter sent into the palace by Nu Rong, and she was anxious for no reason. The www.biquge.info was thinking about how to persuade her husband Fu Jian to give the title of Qiang Yan's son Qiang Yan, but suddenly saw a eunuch running in from outside the door, and the eunuch bowed his head and wept: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is dead! ”

When Queen Qiang heard this, her heart was shocked and she sat on the ground.

Since the prince entered the West Palace to serve his illness, people in the palace have rarely been able to see His Majesty, and even state affairs are handled by the prince. From time to time, Empress Qiang summoned the eunuchs of the West Palace and the imperial doctor in the palace to inquire about His Majesty's condition, and they only frowned and kept silent. I thought that Your Majesty, as usual, would be cured in only a month even if he was seriously ill, but who knew that he would suddenly drive west! You must know that Your Majesty is only thirty-nine years old this year, and he is still in the prime of life!

The letter in the hand of Queen Qiang was clutched into a ball, covering her chest and crying, and the palace maids couldn't persuade her, so she also cried. I saw that Queen Qiang suddenly stood up and stumbled all the way to the West Palace.

The palace is under martial law everywhere, there are guards everywhere, and there is martial law everywhere in Chang'an City, and when the important ministers and princes receive the news of His Majesty's death, they hurriedly ride into the palace by carriage and horse, and the guards of Chang'an City still do not relax at all.

Queen Qiang stumbled towards the West Palace, and when she arrived, she saw courtiers kneeling in the audience. Queen Qiang knew that Her Majesty had gone, and she was so sad in her heart that she couldn't enter. The palace maids helped her and stood in front of the gate of the West Palace, only to see the palace door open, the prince Fu Sheng walked out, and the eunuchs on the side held the holy decree of the seal dragon robe and lined up one by one.

The ministers knelt under the stage, and no one wanted to kneel to those eunuchs, but they could only kneel there and wait for the eunuch to read the edict of the first emperor.

After the edict was read, among the ministers kneeling in the court, Zhao Shao, the doctor of the prince's gate, and Zhao Xushan, the prince's housekeeper, shouted long live. The ministers were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted long live. The ministers of Gu Ming, Lei Qiao'er, Yu Zun, Liang An and others all knelt in the court, and they didn't understand why the new emperor wanted to let a eunuch instead of them, read the edict of the first emperor on their behalf, and follow the ministers to worship the new emperor, but they didn't want to speak.

Yuzun knelt in it, and his heart was heavy. He and Lei Xiao'er are all old ministers who followed the first emperor and Taizu to fight the world. The first emperor asked them to assist the new emperor, and now, whether it was the minister appointed by the first emperor to take care of his life, or the chief of Liuyi who followed the first emperor into the customs, the new emperor paid no attention to it. How can such a person afford this great responsibility in the world?

The ministers got up, and even the national abbot Liang Anxin had a lot of doubts, could this emperor, who had been promoted step by step to 10,000 people, really be able to ensure the prosperity and peace of his Liang family?

In the imperial city, the death knell rang nine times, and the cry was everywhere. In the temple and Taoist temple of Chang'an City, because of the death of the emperor, the death knell rang together. At dawn, the new emperor ascended the throne, ordered the eunuch to announce the edict, respected his mother Qiang as the queen mother, set up his wife Liang as the queen, and changed the year name to Shouguang.

When the ministers heard the edict, they looked at each other, and suddenly someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the first emperor has just been driving, and he really shouldn't change the yuan on the same day!" When Fu Sheng heard this, he was furious and retreated from the ministers.

After the ministers dispersed, Fu Shengren summoned Zhao Shao, the doctor of the prince's gate, and Zhao Xu, the prince's housekeeper, and ordered them to find out who dared to instigate the ministers to oppose his change of the yuan today.

Zhao Shao had a plan and asked the palace people to invite Dong Rong, who had first stood up to persuade Fu Sheng not to change the yuan, to invite in, Dong Rong was afraid that Fu Sheng would be held accountable to him, so he knelt down on the ground and confessed that the master of the council was the right servant Duan Chun. At that time, the ministers had not yet left the palace, but they saw a group of soldiers rushing up, tearing down Duan Chun, who was about to board the carriage, without saying a word, and dragging him towards Weiyang Palace.

The ministers raised their heads, only to see that under the court, shrouded in treacherous clouds, the house slaves of the Taishi Mansion saw that the Taishi looked at the clouds, so they reminded: "It's going to rain soon, Taishi, go back quickly." Yu Zun got into the carriage as he said, and only then did he leave the palace gate, and the heavy rain poured down.

Soon after Yu Zun returned home, the gate of Chang'an City was opened, and a white horse ran out of the city like an arrow from a string in the heavy rain.

In Weiyang Palace, Dong Rong saw that Duan Chun was killed outside the door, his body was separated, and the blood was gradually washed away in the heavy rain, and he leaned over in front of Fu Sheng and didn't dare to say a word. Zhao Shao on the side was not as afraid of Fu Sheng as he was, and knelt on the ground and said: "It is said that Yuhai, the son of Yuzun, often has correspondence with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and if you want to say that there is a different heart, the Yu family is the most likely!" Even if they have no dissenting intentions, Taishi Yuzun was entrusted by the first emperor as a minister to take care of his life, and Yuzun's family has four generals and three powerful ministers, so they should be weakened, and they can't let his family dominate and dare to compete with the sun and the moon! ”

Fu Sheng turned around and said in his mouth: "Yuzun? I couldn't think about it in my heart, and raised my hand to let Dong Rong and the others step back. Before Dong Rong and the others retreated, a eunuch hurriedly entered, knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the crown princess...... The queen refused to change her clothes or move to the harem......"

Fu Sheng frowned slightly, and said loudly: "Oh? Without waiting for the eunuch to react, Fu Sheng walked out of the door, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly followed, for fear that the newly enthroned emperor would be drenched in heavy rain. All the way to the East Palace, I saw Liang Huaiyu's face was cold, sitting on the seat and looking at the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground, refusing to change clothes or get up.

Fu Sheng sat down, asked the palace maid and eunuch to put down the queen's crown, and everyone retreated behind closed doors, leaving only Fu Sheng and Liang Huaiyu in the house. Fu Sheng picked up the teacup and asked, "Why don't you change your crown?" ”

Liang Huaiyu didn't say a word, Fu Sheng put down the teacup and said, "Did I let the person who came to read the holy decree die in the middle of the way, and the queen still doesn't know my will?" ”

When Liang Huaiyu heard this, he was angry in his heart and said: "Huaiyu is a guilty body, and he doesn't dare to violate the rules." ”

Fu Sheng looked at her and said, "Wearing a sinful body? Suddenly it dawned on him, "I forgot, I punished you for being grounded for a month." Saying that, he stood up, walked in front of Liang Huaiyu, and said, "It's just that you are angry with me now, will you be too ignorant of current affairs?" Seeing Liang Huaiyu clenching his robe, biting his lip and saying nothing, his chest rose and fell. Then he stretched out his hand, and took her hand, and said, "Still...... You don't want to be my queen? ”

Liang Huaiyu raised his head and glared at Fu Sheng angrily, and when Fu Sheng saw that she was so ignorant of lifting, he raised his hand and slapped her. Liang Huaiyu bit her lips tightly, refusing to give in, Fu Sheng was furious when he saw this, picked up her collar, dragged her all the way into the inner room, threw her on the bed, regardless of her struggle, tore off her robe, and buried her head in Huaiyu's undulating chest......

The eunuch slave girl standing outside the house, mixed with the sound of heavy rain, Liang Huaiyu's mournful cry and the sentence "Fu Sheng, I hate you!" After that, everything in the house was silent.

Crown Princess, is she dead?

Everyone outside the house trembled, and even though the heavy rain splashed their robes, they still didn't dare to move. After a long time, I suddenly saw Fu Sheng open the door and said to the outside of the house, "Send the queen into the harem." With that, he walked into the heavy rain.

The people who went to the East Palace with Fu Sheng hurriedly held umbrellas and followed out, and the remaining eunuch slaves looked at each other, and after being stunned, they poured into the house. Yun Xi walked in the front, and saw Liang Huaiyu, who was hastily wearing the queen's crown dress, lying on the bed, with a blue and purple body and a miserable place, looking at the top of the bed with a dull gaze, and couldn't help crying.

Liang Huaiyu was in a trance, and in her ears, it was the cry of Yun Xi and the palace maids, and it was the sentence that Fang Cai Fu Sheng took her into his arms after putting on the queen's crown dress for her, and whispered in her ear: "You can only be my woman." She hated him or loved him, and she couldn't tell for a while.

Outside the palace, Fu Jian and Lu Polou took shelter from the rain in the tavern, and when they saw Deng Qiang, who was also drinking in the tavern, they invited him to sit at the same table.

Deng Qiang poured wine for Lu Polou and Fu Jian, and asked, "I wonder if you two have ever heard of Yao Yi Zhongke's death in another country?" ”

Lu Polou and Fu Jian glanced at each other, and Fu Jian said, "Wasn't this three or four years ago?" ”

Deng Qiang said with a smile: "Actually, otherwise, Yao Yizhong has not yet entered the ground, and this matter cannot be over." ”

Fu Jian said: "Why do you say this? ”

Deng Qiang put down the wine jug and said: "After the first emperor led the army into the customs, Yao Yizhong led his troops to return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, I am afraid he did not expect that he would die in a few years. Now Yao Yizhong's subordinates are all in the hands of his sons Yao Xiang and Yao Chang brothers, although Yao Xiang is literate and martial, but he is not as ambitious as his father. And Yao Changqi is a rare general. I heard that after Yao Yizhong's death, the hearts of his subordinates fluctuated, and they were not used to the water and soil in the south, so they all had the heart to return to the north. ”

Fu Jian picked up the wine glass and asked, "What Brother Deng means is ......?"

Deng Qiang said: "Yao Xiang will definitely return to Longxi in the name of helping the soul return to his hometown." Seeing that Fu Jian was silent, Deng Qiang continued, "Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is the time to employ people. If Yao Xiang really borrowed Daqin in the name of Fuling, he hoped that the general would take the opportunity to take down the two Yao Xiang brothers and use them for Daqin. ”

Fu Jian smiled, drank and said nothing. As soon as he put the cup down, he heard Liang Pinglao's voice by the stairs, "I can't find you two anywhere, so I ran here to drink from me!" Then he said, "Look who I brought to you!" As he spoke, he walked upstairs to a person, who was Qiang Wang.

Qiang Wang was praised for his talent when he was young, and Fu Jian was naturally overjoyed when he saw that he was willing to make friends with him.

And Qiang Wang and the Empress Dowager Qiang are a clan lineage, and in their spare time, they have heard about Deng Qiang and Liang Huaiyu, and some are not used to seeing Deng Qiang even give his beloved woman to Fu Sheng, and even more unaccustomed to Deng Qiang because the woman is willing to be restrained by Fu Sheng. When he saw Deng Qiang drinking at the same table with Fu Jian and others, he didn't speak.

It's just that Deng Qiang is such a smart person, even if Qiang Wang didn't show any dissatisfaction, he still asked Fu Jian to resign, and without waiting for Qiang Wang and the others to sit down, he got up and went downstairs.

Qiang Wang sat down, Fu Jian personally poured wine for him, and asked: "It is really an honor for Fu Jian that my brother is willing to come with a face." ”

When Qiang Wang heard this, he also had a polite time with Fu Jian. It's just that during the mourning period now, it is not advisable to overjoy. After three rounds of drinking, the four people on the seat were familiar with each other, and after gossiping, they all went home.

In Dong Rong's mansion, Dong Rong invited Zhao Shao and Zhao Yu brothers to a banquet, and raised a glass to them: "If it weren't for my brother's reminder today, I would have become a ghost with a sin sheep knife, this cup is my respect for my brother, thank my brother for saving his life!" After saying that, he drank it all.

Zhao Yu said with disdain on his face: "Your Dong Rong's life is only worth this glass of wine?" ”

Dong Rong's face was full of embarrassment, he only straightened his face, knelt in front of the two brothers Zhao Yu and Zhao Shao, and said respectfully: "My Dong Rong's life was given by the two brothers, and in the future, Dong Rong will only look forward to the two brothers, and there will be no two hearts!" ”

Zhao Shao took a sip of wine and said, "We are all doing things for the Son of Heaven, you don't have to be like this." ”

When Dong Rong heard this, his attitude became more and more respectful, and he flattered: "The younger brother is really willing to be used by the two brothers, and this heart can be learned!" I also hope that the two brothers will not be dull as the younger brother. ”

Zhao Shao and Zhao Zhi glanced at each other when they heard this, looked at Dong Rong in front of them, and smiled treacherously. Fortunately, in the future, the two brothers had another knife in their hands that killed people without seeing blood.

Zhao Yu said to Dong Rong: "Your Majesty has always liked to ride and shoot, if you can persuade Your Majesty to put hammers and tongs on the palace, we brothers will conspire with you." ”

Dong Rong frowned, thinking that convincing Heng and Zhu would be a death, it was better to risk death and give it a try, and it was unknown whether he could exchange it for glory and wealth. So he said to the two brothers: "Is this true? ”

Zhao Yu replied: "A word is a certainty. ”

In Luoyang City, a white horse ran to the door of the fish house, turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly knocked on the door and entered the house.

Yuhai opened the family letter, only to see that the letter said that the new emperor Fu Sheng intended to suppress the important ministers of the former dynasty, and the Yujia tree was a big move, and it was difficult to escape, so he ordered the sons of the Yu family to plan in advance. Yuhai held the letter, and I don't know how the rest of the Yu family felt when they received the letter.

Seeing that Yuhai's face was heavy during Jiang's illness, he was helped forward by a slave girl and asked Yuhai, "But what happened?" ”

Yuhai handed the letter to Jiang, and after reading it, Jiang said, "What are you planning in your heart?" ”

Yu Hai took the letter, burned it immediately, and said to the Jiang family: "The Son of Heaven has newly ascended the throne, and he will inevitably help some newly promoted courtiers to assist in the court." I was originally guarding Luoyang by the order of the first emperor, but now, I am afraid that the new emperor of this land of Luoyang will also send someone to take it back in advance. ”

Jiang asked, "What do you mean ......?"

Yuhai replied: "In this case, it is better for me to resign in advance and be a favor." It's just that...... In the days to come, I will embarrass you and Yuxi. ”

Jiang said with a smile: "You and I are husband and wife, Yuxi is your child, we are a family, there is no need to talk about what to be embarrassed or embarrassed." Yuhai was grateful for Jiang's understanding, so he took her hand and held her hand to look at the sunset.

Yu Qiao stood not far away and looked at Yu Hai and the Jiang family, and hoped that the Jiang family would die immediately. was looking at it hatefully, and suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Buckwheat!" ”
