Chapter 34: The Death of the Son and the Mother
Changle Palace.
"Da Sima is so beautiful now! Yes! Queen Helian gritted her teeth hatefully, "Only this palace, with such a big force, turned out to be nothing!" Tell me, what about the position of the queen mother of the palace? Why, now, Hongu is nothing? Empress Helian was angry and red-faced, and shouted confidently.
Zong Ai was already tired of Queen Helian's face, but she felt that what she said was right, and it was time to clean up Lu Zhaoyi's mother and son.
This time is different from the past, Zong Ai said contemptuously: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, the time will come soon!"
"Really?" Empress Helian immediately turned her anger into joy and said excitedly.
"Really! Tomorrow, the ministers will unite with the ministers and let them besiege Lu Zhaoyi. When the time comes, needless to say, the mother will understand. Zong Ai's face was cunning, it turned out that he had already arranged it.
"Good! Then the main palace is waiting to see a good show! Haha-" Empress Helian's sinister smile made people's hairs stand on end.
The next day, Tuoba Yu went to the morning court.
Zong Ai stood in the hall and was silent.
Suddenly, Yihun Qiyu said: "Your Majesty, now that Your Majesty's throne is gradually stabilizing, the Queen Mother has been vacant, and the minister suggests that the Queen Mother should be elected as soon as possible to stabilize the people's hearts, which is a good policy."
Another minister said: "The minister recommends Empress Helian as the queen mother."
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
β¦β¦
Tuoba Yu was angry in his heart, and no one recommended his biological mother, so he angrily reprimanded: "I want to establish Lu Zhaoyi as the queen mother!" The ministers need no longer negotiate! β
"Your Majesty! Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne as the emperor, according to the ancestral system, in order to prevent the harem from being autocratic, all the princes who are made princes or emperors should be given death. Your Majesty has first ascended to the throne, and he should find a way to stabilize the country, instead of dictating the government and ignoring the ministers. Therefore, His Majesty should execute Lu Zhaoyi as soon as possible, instead of treating her as the queen mother, and be laughed at by the people of the world! Gao Lu took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
"Your Majesty! Only by giving death to Lu Zhaoyi can the ministers be convinced! You Ya also came up to incite the ministers.
"Your Majesty! The minister begs His Majesty to give death to Lu Zhaoyi! β
β¦β¦
Seeing Gao Lu and others stepping forward, Yuan He and Lu Li were also reluctant to give up on Tuoba Yu.
Tuoba Yu saw that he was fighting alone and had no confidence, so he asked Zong Ai and said, "Da Sima, what do you think?"
Zong Ai had long expected that Tuoba Yu would ask for his opinion, so he said in a dilemma: "This ...... The minister felt that what the ministers of the court said was very reasonable. If Your Majesty doesn't give Lu Zhaoyi death, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the ministers to obey! β
Tuoba Yu immediately scolded Zong Ai with his head and face, saying that he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, was ungrateful, turned around and walked away, leaving only the ministers to discuss.
Tuoba Yu retreated from the court, and rushed towards Lu Zhaoyi's Chengfu Hall with great momentum.
Lu Zhaoyi saw Tuoba Yu's angry appearance, so he asked with concern: "Emperor, what's wrong with you?"
"Mother! These ministers are all things that have lost their conscience! Tuoba Yu just scolded happily.
"What the hell is going on?" Lu Zhaoyi felt that the matter was not trivial.
"They want to give me a dead concubine!" Tuoba Yu is still angry.
"What!?" Lu Zhaoyi was shocked and frightened.
"Don't be afraid, concubine, I have already scolded them! I don't believe it, if I don't give my mother a dead concubine, can I still have the ability to abolish me? Tuoba Yu himself thinks he is a green onion.
"It's not impossible to abolish Your Majestyβ" The familiar voice came to mind in the ears of the two of them again, and Zong Ai immediately said, "Now in the imperial court, all the princes and nobles are eyeing each other, just waiting for Your Majesty to make a mistake and take the opportunity to ascend the throne. If Your Majesty does not do what the ministers say, I am afraid that they will keep picking on Your Majesty and forcing Your Majesty to abdicate. Could it be that Your Majesty doesn't want to be an emperor so soon? If this is the case, then the minister will have no choice but to support other princes to succeed him! Zong Ai flicked his sleeves and turned the jade wrench on his finger again.
"You-" Tuoba Yu heard that Zong Ai disliked that he couldn't be his puppet emperor honestly, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Zong Ai is now in power and lawless, and Lu Zhaoyi's mother and son are also very jealous. Lu Zhaoyi pleaded bitterly and said: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty, he is just confused for a while." How dare Your Majesty not do what Da Sima wants, he will listen to Da Sima's words! You can let Hongu discuss it with His Majesty, okay? β
In order to preserve his son's throne, Lu Zhaoyi had prepared for the worst in his heart.
Zong Ai saw that Lu Zhaoyi still knew the general situation, so he turned around and left with a "hmm", leaving the mother and son in a dilemma to be nerve-wracking.
"Mother, how can you allow him to be so arrogant?" Tuoba Yu just blew his beard angrily and stared.
He never thought that Zong Ai, who had been nesting beside him, would be such a ruthless character, and he immediately regretted that he had listened to Zong Ai's slander before, causing him to go to a dead end step by step, and then he felt that he was really being used.
Lu Zhaoyi immediately collapsed to the ground, lost his soul, his brows were tightly locked, and he said uneasily: "Now it is not what it used to be, Zong Ai covers the sky with one hand, if you don't listen to him, he will only kill our mothers and women." In the past, we might have survived, but today, we are desperate! The Queen's ......"
Tuoba Yu knelt on the ground with remorse, calling for his mother, tears rippling.
Lu Zhaoyi hugged Tuoba Yu and hugged his head and cried.
"Now only when the mother concubine dies can you keep your throne! Save your life! Lu Zhaoyi is still in love.
"Mother-" Tuoba Yu sobbed, but he couldn't muster the courage to accompany his mother to death.
"In the future, you will be alone, you must be more careful, and don't be calculated by Zongai again. Whatever he says, you will do it, don't be tough, just ask for peace, understand? Lu Zhaoyi seemed to want to finish what she had never said for so many years.
"Erchen understands!" Tuoba Yu was going to watch his mother die, his heart was full of hatred, he hated himself for being so incompetent and cowardly.
β¦β¦
The next day, a white silk, a bed, and a cold corpse.
Empress Helian got her wish and became the queen mother.
Recently, there is a rare happy event in the palace, and the whole palace is filled with a joyful atmosphere. In the bustling crowd of people who came and went, they either secretly accused Lu Zhaoyi of being innocent, or talked heartily about the irreversibility of the ancestral system, or treated the current situation of the court as a joke, drinking and talking, so uncomfortable.
Only Tuoba Yu, the most beloved person in the world, no longer exists, but he disappeared from the top of the face, borrowing wine all day to drown his sorrows.
Looking at the water flowing eastward, watching the sun sinking in the west, the deceased is like this, and the situation in the palace has changed again and again. In the blink of an eye, there was a stalemate inside and outside the palace for months.
At this time, Tuoba Han, who could no longer calm down, anxiously asked Gao Yun to discuss matters.
