Chapter 72 Disposition
The Son of Heaven's bedroom was chaotic, and the attendants who had not yet calmed down from the matter of their talents ran around, but they still lit the lights and set up the cushions when the queen and the courtiers arrived.
Entering the door and looking at the Son of Heaven lying on the couch, the queen's tears suddenly flowed again.
"陛xià." She cried, and quickly stepped forward and knelt down, "The concubine thinks that she will never see Her Majesty again." ”
In retrospect, how dangerous it was.
From seeing the note that Cheng Jianniang asked the waiter to hand over, to remembering that she had received the box of fireworks that she didn't care about but left because the person who came deliberately accentuated the sentence Cheng Niangzi asked her to send it.
A room full of people made all sorts of guesses around the word fireworks.
I thought that what was in the box was not fireworks, but magical items that could save lives, but no matter how I looked at it over and over again, I thought it might be mixed with life-saving tips, but I didn't find two of them.
"Niangniang, the fireworks belong to the Li family's shop, Li Mao of the Li family's shop is Cheng Niangzi's apprentice, Li Mao made a stone bullet because he saw Cheng Niangzi's fireworks and won the knighthood, the stone bullet is a weapon more powerful than the divine arm bow, so this fireworks may be a life-saving weapon in itself."
Eventually, one of the chamberlains guessed.
Can fireworks also be a life-saving weapon?
Although this speculation was a bit ridiculous, at that time she had no choice but to go out and hold the box and fight.
I didn't expect it to be a success.
The queen fell to the ground and wept.
It's really not easy, it's so hard to live, to die peacefully.
The cry was more sincere than in the prince's bedchamber, and the courtiers knelt down and whimpered again.
A whimper just started. I heard the queen suddenly. The courtiers raised their heads. I couldn't help but be taken aback.
The Son of Heaven suddenly moved.
Could it be that the emperor ......
The hall was suddenly silent, and everyone stared at the Son of Heaven.
A head slowly emerged from under the couch.
"Mother."
Concubine An grinned.
"Concubine, concubine, guarding Your Majesty here, I accidentally fell asleep, and I just heard you come in."
Seeing everyone's looks like ghosts, she hurriedly climbed out and bent back with her dress.
"You guys, you go on. I, I stepped back. ”
With that, he turned around and ran behind the curtain.
Everyone returned to their places, sat down on the mat, and before they could catch their breath, they saw Concubine An come back again.
"Are you alright?" She asked.
The queen took a deep breath and glared at her.
"Go down!" She raised an eyebrow and shouted.
Concubine An shrank her neck in fright.
It's okay, it's okay, she dodges in.
was interrupted by this incident, and the queen lost her sadness and sighed, and gently wiped away her tears. Sit down on the emperor's couch and watch the courtiers.
"Today's events. What do the secretaries say should be done? She spoke.
………………………………………………………
Gao Lingbo had already woken up leisurely, the pain on his face and the saltiness in his mouth made him sober up instantly.
It was quiet, no noise, no noise.
Gao Lingbo sat up and saw himself lying alone in the hall.
He is no stranger to this hall, and it is the main hall of the Queen Mother's Palace.
He was not tied, and there were no guards around him, Gao Lingbo staggered to his feet, straightened his clothes, picked up the official hat that fell to the side and put it on.
"Someone, someone." He shouted.
No one answered him.
"Let Zhang Chun come to see me!"
I'm going to have a round with him.
"I want to see the Queen!"
I'm going to ask her if she knows anything about it.
He hurried over, but the door could not be opened, it was natural, how could they let themselves run around.
Gao Lingbo looked out through the crack in the door, the lights were bright, and the courtyard under the corridor was full of guards.
It is no longer the Praetorian guard he is familiar with, but the garrison, and there are many palace maids who come and go, all wearing filial piety clothes, hiding their faces and crying.
"....Poor Royal Highness the Prince, he was killed...."
"....This is a rebellion... I didn't expect the Gao family to rebel...."
These words reached Gao Lingbo's ears through the crack in the door.
Gao Lingbo slapped the door and smiled.
Fuck your mother's rebellion! Does he have to wait until now if Gao Lingbo wants to rebel?
How did the prince die? He died of his own illness! What's the matter!
If you want to talk about rebellion, the one who bombarded the palace gate with artillery is a rebellion!
But there is no need to argue with these slaves.
There's no point in arguing with them.
Gao Lingbo's gaze fell on the corridor again, and when he saw Chen Shao's corpse, his gaze froze.
Chen Shao was still lying on the ground with his hair disheveled and wearing obscene clothes, not even covering a white list, and the people around him didn't even look at it, as if it was not a person who was thrown there, but a piece of pork.
A traitor who plotted to murder the crown prince can still hope for any dignity after death.
Not only him, but his family is about to lose their dignity.
So that's why you can't die, and once you die, it's up to someone else to decide.
Gao Lingbo retracted his gaze, a sneer flashing across his face.
What about being convicted? What about prisoners? As long as you wait until dawn, the world will be able to see this strange palace change, it is a fact that the prince is sick, and it is also a fact that the king of Jin'an County has entered Beijing without an edict and a county king has troops to break into the palace gate.
Let the world see this fact.
He took a deep breath and turned back into the hall, sat down on the floor, and watched the night fade away little by little, and the sky was about to dawn.
That's when the door was pushed open.
Gao Lingbo raised his head and looked at the four strange chamberlains who walked in, his heart jumped, and an ominous cold came out.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? He shouted.
"The slaves and maids are here to give the tall man a ride." The head of the chamberlain said.
Gao Lingbo jumped up in anger.
"You dare!" He shouted, reaching out to grab the belt, but found that the waist was empty, and the jade belt given by the emperor was missing.
Three chamberlains had already rushed over, and a white silk was wrapped around Gao Lingbo's neck.
Gao Lingbo struggled hard.
He is very strong and often practices martial arts at home. Not even a gust of wind can be blown. But the three seemingly thin chamberlains moved vigorously and quickly. Three or two strokes trapped him.
These people are definitely not palace attendants!
"King of Jin'an! Don't you dare! Gao Lingbo hoarsely grabbed the white silk in his neck and shouted, "Aren't you afraid?" ”
Aren't you afraid of being unjust?
In the palace, the minister who killed him is not afraid of being told that the prince was also killed by you?
Aren't you afraid that the sound of candle shadows and axes will be questioned for the rest of your life?
Aren't you afraid that the ministers will be afraid?
Aren't you afraid of the people's opinions?
No one answered him, and the chief chamberlain looked at him with some contempt, watching him struggle like a dead dog.
No, no. The breath in his mouth became less and less, and the fear in Gao Lingbo's heart grew bigger and bigger.
No, it can't end like this, can't, unwillingly!
He's not wrong, he's not wrong anywhere, why is that?
Why did this happen?
God is unfair! God is unfair! He was not convinced! He was not convinced!
It shouldn't be like this!
It shouldn't be like this!
He Gao Lingbo made no mistake in his life, countless people died in his hands, and there were many officials who fell at his feet, how could he die like this?
How could he be strangled to death by two eunuchs so easily!
"Mrs. Cheng. You shouldn't have done that, we shouldn't. ”
"Yes. Tall, this shouldn't be the case between us, you shouldn't be doing this. ”
This passage flashed in his ears inexplicably.
Shouldn't you have done that, shouldn't you have gone against her in the first place? Originally, the well water did not interfere with the river water, and he could be safe, and even if he put down his body one step earlier, would this woman be a member of their Gao family now?
So to put it this way, is it all caused by the five soldiers who were suppressed in the military exploits of the Northwest at the beginning? If he hadn't sheltered Jiang Wenyuan at that time, would things have been a different result?
It's ridiculous!
Gao Lingbo grinned, kicked his legs twice, and stared at him with wide eyes.
kicked twice, the person on the ground was motionless, and the attendant led by him stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and looked at Gao Lingbo's lower body with feces and urine.
"Packed up." He said lightly, turned and went out.
In the courtyard outside, the maids were still busy preparing for the prince's funeral, and the garrison was standing with weapons, and no one looked at this side more, and it seemed that they couldn't hear the shouting and shouting here.
There was a person standing at the door of the prince's dormitory, and the chamberlain hurriedly walked over.
"Grandpa Jing." He said respectfully, "It's all done." ”
Grandpa Jing hummed and turned around and went in.
The king of Jin'an was still sitting in front of the prince's couch, and there was a trembling woman kneeling in front of him.
Gonggong Jing stepped over, leaned over and whispered.
"The tall man has cut himself." He whispered.
The king of Jin'an County had a blank face.
Gonggong Jing took a step back.
"What did you say?" King Jin'an looked at the woman and asked.
"Your Highness." The woman kowtowed in a trembling voice, "The slave is the prince's concubine, the slave is the prince's concubine, and the slave and maid used to sleep for the prince..."
"So you think you should be buried with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like them?" King Jin'an asked, looking at this woman, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the smile was cold, making people dare not look directly.
The woman did not dare to raise her head and wept and kowtowed.
"Slave maid, slave maid is not unwilling to serve the prince, but, just..." she said this and reached out to hold her abdomen, "Slave maid is afraid that she is pregnant......"
As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall suddenly changed color.
The crown prince has a blood inheritance, this should be a good thing, right?
But the timing of this inheritance is...
If the succession is unstoppable, and the blood of the prince suddenly emerges, what should I do?
King Jin'an laughed.
"That's you." He said, looking at the woman in front of him, his face suddenly showed disgust, he suddenly got up and raised his feet, and actually stepped on the woman's neck alive.
"That's you." He said again, looking at the woman, his feet gradually strained.
The woman reached out and grabbed his foot, her mouth wide open, her eyes widened, and she made a gurgling sound, and her face became more and more pale.
"That's you!"
With this sound, there was a click at the same time, and the woman's hand holding the foot of the king of Jin'an County suddenly let go and drooped, her eyes widened, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding and she didn't move.
The room was silent, cold, like an ice cellar under the bright lights, I don't know which one couldn't help but tremble his teeth and slowly sound a gurgling sound, echoing in it to add a bit of gloom.
…………………………………………….
In the palace of the Son of Heaven, talking is in full swing.
“… Chen Shao has already committed suicide, and Gao Lingbo's crime is unforgivable. A courtier was talking aloud, "The law ...... such traitors and courtiers." ”
“… I have already said that it is not enough to have a law, but to follow the old precedents of history...", the other courtier shook his head and said with a little disagreement.
"This matter is not small, and it must not be taken seriously." Someone else reminded.
The Gao family has been operating in the court for three generations, even if they don't chase the clan, Gao Lingbo's generation alone has a lot of relationships with women and wives, and even these people here dare not guarantee that none of their relatives and friends overlap with the Gao family's relatives and friends.
Now that the queen mother has obviously been abolished, the queen has mastered the palace, and the situation in the palace is decided, but the situation outside the palace is still a little uncertain.
You have to be cautious.
At that moment, a chamberlain hurried in.
"Niangniang, the king of Jin'an has arrived." He shouted.
A hint of joy appeared on the queen's face.
"Announce quickly." She said.
With a proclamation, the king of Jin'an County, who had changed into a plain clothes, strode in, it stands to reason that his seat is not high, but the king of Jin'an County did not sit straight into the seat, but until the Son of Heaven was lying on the couch, he knelt down and kowtowed and shouted His Majesty, and his voice was a little choked.
"Okay, Your Majesty sees it." The queen said, while motioning to the chamberlain to support him, "Come, it's not too early, let's get down to business quickly, so that we can give an explanation to the courtiers." ”
The king of Jin'an got up and sat behind the queen.
"Yes." He said, "Ladies and courtiers, please go on, and don't care about me. ”
Don't care about you...
It's just that the position you sit in makes everyone careless and have to care.
The courtiers lowered their eyes and were just about to continue speaking, when the king of Jin'an County thought of something and raised his head.
"That's right." He said, "I forgot to say, just now, Gao Lingbo committed suicide in the Empress Dowager's palace." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the temple looked at him with a shocked expression.
He's dead?
Gao Lingbo committed suicide and died! (To be continued......)
