Chapter 138: Mother and Child Gap
With Murong Chui's order, the Imperial Forest Army behind him rushed out vigorously, grabbing the eldest prince who was about to flee in a hurry. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info Shutai smiled behind him, watching those royal guards drag him down, no matter how the prince screamed for help, all the princes and ministers did not dare to make any sound, all they could do was to quietly watch this farce.
?“ Returning to the Queen Mother, how should this traitor be dealt with? Murong Chui bowed to the Empress Dowager Shu and asked her opinion without being arrogant or humble. However, he knew in his heart that the Empress Dowager was such a ruthless person, but if it fell into her hands, it would naturally not end well. He turned his head sideways and glanced at the old tearful prince, remembering that the two had known each other for many years, and suddenly sighed, feeling that it was a pity.
The Empress Dowager turned her head sideways and glanced at the eldest prince, just such a glance that made the eldest prince feel like a death gaze, so frightened that he didn't even dare to cry, but trembled and didn't dare to say a word.
??“ The eldest prince is just grief-stricken because of the death of the previous emperor! Please think twice! The prime minister spoke suddenly, his voice trembled, his body trembled, and even his long white hair trembled. If it weren't for the prime minister's death-threatening words, everyone would have forgotten that his daughter married the eldest prince as a princess.
?? The eyes of the courtiers stared directly at the Prime Minister, and then turned to the Empress Dowager at random. They vaguely hoped that the Empress Dowager would take this opportunity to eradicate the prime minister. After all, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he naturally wanted to eliminate dissidents and establish his own court. However, unexpectedly, when the Empress Dowager heard the prime minister's reckless remarks, she did not feel a little angry, and was still calm.
"The Prime Minister is right." The Empress Dowager nodded solemnly. "After all, the eldest prince is the only son left behind by Sister Xiaoshu, and this palace naturally won't make my sister sad underground. What the eldest prince did, this palace also understands. However, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the palace wants to forgive the prince, but my Liang's law is not allowed! The death penalty can be avoided, but the living sin cannot be escaped. Passing on the order of the palace, the eldest prince will be sealed to Yazhou, without the emperor's order, he will never be able to return to Beijing. All military rights will be withdrawn, and the title of the prince will be deprived! ”
After saying that, she turned her head to look at the prime minister, her face like a peach blossom. "I wonder if the Prime Minister will be satisfied now?"
?“ This ......" The prime minister swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were like a pearl curtain, pouring down without stopping. He knew in his heart what kind of place Yazhou was. It was a barren road, with only grass and endless loneliness. I'm afraid that being alive is more unbearable than dying.
However, at this moment, do the prime minister and the eldest prince have any other choice? When the eldest prince heard this, he knelt on the ground in despair, and kowtowed in the direction of the Empress Dowager Shu and Meng Tao. "Thank you, Lord Ronne! Bless Oh Liang, longevity and Tianqi! ”
As soon as he thought about it, everyone knew that this trend had been set, and no one could change it. With a wave of the Empress Dowager's hand, the Imperial Forest Army took the eldest prince down, and the prime minister could only watch him being dragged down, but he was helpless.
"Since the ceremony has been completed, please go back." The Empress Dowager didn't take care of the celebrant on the side, and let everyone retreat without permission.
The celebrant listened to her say this to herself, and hurriedly shouted, "Finish the ceremony!" At this time, the ministers slowly left from the Xuanzheng Hall in an orderly manner. The day's exhausting ceremony was finally over.
Meng Tao walked back to the hall with the Empress Dowager in his arms, and he served the Empress Dowager Shu and sat on the soft couch, his face was cowardly. "Queen mother, eldest brother, he ......" Meng Tao said halfway through and didn't say any more. He didn't expect it. In his lifetime, he was killed by his own brother, which suddenly made Meng Tao's heart burn with a trace of bitterness and sadness.
"Meng Sheng, except that he is the only son of the former queen and the eldest son, is useless. Bengong thought that he had the ability to turn this palace upside down, but it turned out that it was just such a small splash. She frowned, slightly uneasy. I thought that it was Meng Yin who couldn't bear it the most, but to my surprise, he was so enduring. I really underestimated him! ”
"Queen Mother!" Meng Tao couldn't help but roar at the Empress Dowager. He couldn't stand the queen's calculations, as if the whole world was hostile in her eyes.
?“ Queen Mother, can you stop being like this, but I don't want to be the emperor, you forced me to do it! I don't want to kill those people, you're forcing me to do it! I really can't take it anymore! He shouted in a fit of rage.
The Empress Dowager Shu half-squinted, her armored hand grabbed the handle on the soft couch fiercely, forcibly holding back her anger. At this moment, Wei Que walked in at the right time. Although she has not yet completed the canonization ceremony of the queen, she is already dressed in a phoenix robe, wearing a crown of xia, and her delicate makeup looks like a queen.
She stepped forward with dignified steps, and her gorgeous and rich phoenix robe dragged to the ground. "Don't be angry, the concubine ordered someone to stew the pear cup, and the queen mother and the emperor should rest for a while." After that, the palace maid brought by Wei Que came up with two porcelain bowls and put them in front of the two. Wei Que raised a smiling face, her tone was as gentle as water, she stepped forward and gently stroked the hand of the Empress Dowager Shu. "On this day, there was a funeral and then an enthronement ceremony, and in the end, there was such a scene, can you be tired?"
Saying that, Wei Que used her soft and delicate hands to massage the Empress Dowager again and again, and comfortably made the Empress Dowager laugh with satisfaction. She patted Wei Que's head gently, her face full of kindness. "It's really an honor for this palace to be able to marry a woman like you. Xi'er should treat Que'er well. ”
Meng Tao sat aside and didn't answer, he just watched the scene silently. Wei Que caught a glimpse of his reluctant expression, and knew that Meng Tao was unhappy, so he turned to Meng Tao and asked softly in a soft voice. "Your Majesty, why don't you look very happy?"
Meng Tao raised his eyes and looked at Wei Que's smiling face, only to feel disgusted in his heart, and he didn't want to talk to her at all, so he stood up and wanted to leave. Seeing this, the Empress Dowager immediately pushed Wei Que. "What are you still doing? Don't go yet! ”
Wei Que stared at the Empress Dowager Shu with wide eyes, not knowing what she meant, the Empress Dowager Shu hurriedly pushed Wei Que again, glaring at her, Wei Que reacted at this time, and immediately hurried towards Meng Tao to catch up.
She hurriedly followed behind Meng Tao, but she didn't dare to move forward, just looked at him silently. Meng Tao was made uncomfortable by Wei Que's pitiful eyes, turned his head angrily, and looked at her with half-squinted eyes. "What do you mean you're always behind?"
"The concubine is just worried about the emperor's dragon body." She lowered her head and looked very gentle, which made Meng Tao wonder if her tone was too heavy.
He looked at Wei Que like this and sighed secretly. I feel like I'm going too far.
"You go back first. My father died, and I should keep filial piety before the spirit for three days. With that, Meng Tao walked away with heavy steps. Wei Que watched his back leave, but he still felt unsteady, and hurriedly commanded the palace people.
"Hurry up and order the imperial dining room to cook some rice porridge for the emperor. He hadn't eaten for a day, how could he hold on. ”
The palace people looked at Wei Que's worried and anxious look, and went down in response.
