Chapter 21: The Change of Xinling
Speaking of which, it's time for a change. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Let's say that the queen knew that the emperor was going to attack Chen Guo, so she rushed to the inner hall and wanted to ask for mercy. Before he could speak, Yunshang followed and broke in and asked people to take down the queen.
"Your Majesty! Even if Your Majesty wants to punish me with death, I can't let this woman get close to Your Majesty. Yunshang cried.
The emperor said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"The maids in the Queen's palace told me that the Queen was going to poison Your Majesty. The concubine was worried, so she immediately brought someone to break in. ”
The queen sneered, "Why didn't the maids in my palace come directly to Your Majesty but go to you?" ”
The emperor also said, "Don't listen to those minions." You let the queen go first. ”
Yunshang cried and hugged the emperor, "Your Majesty will kill me, and I won't let it go." ”
Su Ru knelt down and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." The nobles are also worried about His Majesty's safety. It is a big crime to slander the queen like this, which slave dares to talk nonsense like this? Please also ask Your Majesty to find out. ”
The emperor is supported by the empress dowager, and the people who respect him are a few points less than the empress dowager. The emperor thought that when the empress dowager died, only the queen was there, and if the queen really had a decree in her hands, it was not impossible. The emperor couldn't help Yunshang's crying, so he said, "The queen is wronged, and when the matter is clarified, the queen will be innocent, and Gu will apologize to you in person." ”
If there is an intention to harm others, how can there be no evidence? Among them, conspiracy and conspiracy must be indispensable. Yunshang is bent on bringing down the queen, and the so-called evidence has been prepared for a long time.
The Empress sighed bitterly, "How can Your Majesty judge the authenticity of those so-called evidences? ”
The so-called evidence, true and false, adds up to tens of millions. It is not surprising that those who went to search found secret letters and poisons in collusion with the queen and King Chen. There is also a secret letter, which was left by the Empress Dowager to the Xinling guard.
[If there is a change in the tomb, the queen's order will be respected. 】
The emperor saw it and fell on the couch in a trance. In the end, the Empress Dowager was still not at ease with him, and would rather put the power of life and death in the hands of the Empress! The emperor had mixed feelings in his heart, and immediately summoned Mo Quan into the palace.
Mo Quancai entered the palace gate, the palace gate was immediately closed, Mo Quan was puzzled, and more than 20 wolf guards rushed out on both sides.
The emperor asked the empress to come to confront him, and the evidence pointed to the empress's intention to poison the emperor and contact King Chen to rebel, but he did not mention Mo Quan's matter.
The queen argued, "If I want to poison it, how can I tell the maid? ”
Yunshang cried, "Fortunately, this slave only knew, otherwise the concubine would not be able to see Your Majesty." ”
The emperor looked at the evidence and was speechless. Will the queen come and kill herself? The letter said that I don't miss the love between father and son, and will depose Qiheng and send Chen Guo, and in the future, the world will fall into the hands of Yunshang's mother and son, and the queen will have no way to live. The position of the Son of Heaven and the mother of a country is worth fighting for by any means! Could it be that the queen really thinks so?
The emperor thought about it for a while, and then said, "Put the queen under house arrest and don't allow her to leave Zhengyang Palace." The order went down, and said to the outside world that the queen was sick and needed to recuperate. ”
Yun Sheng listened to the emperor's words and refused to kill the queen, and he didn't even mean to depose the queen. Yunshang cried, "I respect the queen on weekdays, but I didn't expect her to harm Your Majesty, but fortunately she didn't succeed, otherwise how could the concubine live alone?" ”
The Emperor said, "Hey! Where do you respect her on weekdays? Besides, the sin lies in Chen Guo. How much of a storm can she, a woman, make? My grandmother left a testament, and after my life could not be abolished, I was helpless. Besides, with the huge Xinling Palace, can you still control a woman? I just keep her, so what's the matter? ”
The emperor's words, I don't know whether to persuade himself or Yunsheng. Yun Sheng saw that the emperor had made up his mind, and he didn't dare to say more.
When the ministers of the court heard that the emperor was going to attack Chen, most of them opposed it and admonished one after another, but the emperor refused to listen.
The emperor was also funny, and after a few days, he remembered it again. The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and I ordered that all those who showed the country and those who had items in their homes should be burned, otherwise they would be immediately beheaded.
Most of Chen Guo's items are used for winter, but now they are burned. The rich and noble people say that they burn more silver and carbon in the house, and change their clothes into southern cotton clothes, so that they will not freeze. What should the poor do? I don't know how many people will freeze to death.
Wei Wufu got out of the carriage and went straight to the Imperial Decree Gate, where he saw a group of courtiers kneeling outside the Imperial Decree Gate.
They came to ask the Emperor to retract his order, and the Emperor ordered the people to be dismissed, but the gang refused to disperse. Some said that they wanted to die, and a few old ministers cried outside, but they didn't wait for the emperor to summon them, but they waited for someone to pass the decree.
"Your Majesty has decreed that from today onwards, all ministers will not be allowed to enter the palace without being summoned."
The literati had the methods of the literati, these people could not enter the palace, but they refused to leave, and they all knelt outside the door of the edict, demanding the release of the queen to welcome back Qiheng, otherwise they would never get up.
Wei Wuyu walked through the crowd and was about to enter the door when an old minister shouted, "Lord Wei! Lord Wei persuaded the emperor, and the Jiangshan Society relied on Lord Wei! ”
Wei Wufu turned around and persuaded, "Do your best, the adults should go back first." ”
The imperial decree door closed again, and Hao Sheng followed behind Wei Wuyu and said with a smile, "Lord Wei, don't worry, if they want to come in, they can only go in lying down!" ”
"Killed? That's convenient! Wei Wuyu sneered, "Have you finished killing?" ”
Wei Wufu entered the palace but did not go to see the emperor, it was Yunshang who pretended to pass on the holy decree to him. Wei Wuyu rushed to the Splendid Palace, and Yunshang was pacing back and forth in the hall in a hurry.
"With Hao Sheng here, what are you afraid of? He is the chief of the internal guard, and he can't deal with those scholars? Wei Wufu motioned for a few of his subordinates to leave.
Yunshang hurriedly said, "Those people shouldn't stay, listen to what they say!" To release the queen and welcome back Qiheng! These people! They should all be killed! ”
"Kill them, and you'll only die faster and worse." Wei Wuwu said. "That's how clever you are. You don't have to worry, they can't make trouble, I have my way. ”
Zhengyi Palace
When the queen heard the news, she said in her heart that she didn't know who had such a bad idea. She secretly said in her heart, "Your Majesty, if you still remember your old love, you should come to see me no matter what!" Thinking about it, she sighed, summoned a few messengers from the Internal Affairs Office, and asked them to move the things of Chen Guo in her palace to the palace.
He added, "On the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager, the emperor personally fired a pure white porcelain vase, do you remember?" And bring the furnace from which the porcelain vases are fired to the front of the court. ”
Most of the things in the palace were brought from the Chen Kingdom. He also ordered officials above the fifth rank to come to Fengtian Temple tomorrow.
On the second day, the queen waited in front of the court, but no one came when she arrived.
The women of the palace depend on her husband. She, the queen, has no power or favor, and seeing that the emperor is going to attack Chen Guo again, there is no backstage. Although she is a queen, what is the difference between her and the concubine who has been beaten into the cold palace? It's too late for most people to hide from her, who will come to slap her? When the time came, the people who began to sparsely pull the people came, and when the time came, there were only a few old ministers present.
The queen was not annoyed, and sat on the chair and watched coldly. Seeing that the time has come, everyone who wants to come should have arrived, the emperor should have heard the news a long time ago, and he has not appeared yet, so he should not come again.
The queen put down the tea, got up and walked slowly to the fire platform, and said, "Your Excellency must have received a decree a few days ago to burn all the items of the Chen Kingdom. If it is said that it is Chen Guo's things, I am the only one in the palace who has the most! This set an example in front of all the adults and burned them all! ”
As he spoke, he asked someone to light a fire. Outside the firelight, all the adults looked at each other, this holy decree is extremely absurd, the queen does not persuade the emperor, but wants to come here to set an example? I don't know what this queen means.
The fire burned the robe, burned the wooden chair, burned the beads, burned the wedding dress, and there was nothing to burn, and the fire gradually weakened. The queen's eyes dimmed, and she sighed, "I am also a member of the Chen Kingdom, so it stands to reason that I should be burned......"
When the ministers heard this, they immediately knelt down and said in fear, "Think twice, the queen! ”
"Think twice?" The queen laughed self-deprecatingly, "I don't have to think twice! ”
The queen said, "I don't know which Qing family will ask Your Majesty if you would like to see me again." ”
The emperor thought it was just to burn something, and he burned it, but he didn't want to burn herself! Is this worth it? The emperor hurried to see the queen standing by the fire, and all the ministers and attendants knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty has finally arrived."
The emperor said, "You come down first!" ”
"The concubine asked to see His Majesty, but only one word was informed. The charge of rebellion against the concubine's brother is unwarranted, and the concubine's desire to harm His Majesty is even more nonsense. The concubine saved her life, and the brother would never rebel. ”
"You come down first!"
Where is the queen willing to listen, "Your Majesty! Because of a villain and a few words that don't know whether they are true or false, they will send troops to Chen Guo, and there will be discussions in the world. Besides, Chen guards the northern border, if Chen is destroyed, who will resist Beirong in the Two Realms Mountain? I hope Your Majesty thinks twice! ”
The ministers below also echoed, "I hope Your Majesty thinks twice!" ”
"Your Majesty told me to come down, if I jump into this blast furnace again today, I will slap Your Majesty in the face. It's just that since I'm standing here today, I will never live again, but I hope Your Majesty will understand. If Your Majesty can still remember the heart of firing white porcelain back then, please take back Your Majesty's order to cut Chen! ”
The emperor's mind is confused, and everyone shouts 'Emperor Shengming', but how holy is he?
The queen looked at the emperor expectantly, but the emperor was unmoved. The queen closed her eyes and smiled bitterly, "Chen will always be stationed in the northern Xinjiang, and he will be prosperous for thousands of years with Weida." I hope that Your Majesty will be enlightened. "Kill yourself and die.
These are the two sentences of their wedding: 'Chen will always be stationed in northern Xinjiang to show prosperity for a thousand years'.
