The next day, the sun was very good, and it was originally a bright and idle day, but because of the palace, after the emperor was abolished, the entire Xue family was imprisoned, and a dark cloud slowly opened in the entire capital. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Huo Chen, Yi Lu, Chengsi and others took fifty percent of the soldiers and horses to the Imperial Forest Army to search the Xue Guogong Mansion and the side branches of the Xue family, from the Xue family's daughters and children to the Xue family's servants, all of them entered the palace one by one.

The common people in Shangjing rarely saw the guards with knives leading the team forward, so they were so frightened that they hid behind the door and secretly observed, not daring to show their heads.

Some of them were bold, and after the Royal Forest Army walked over, they came out to take a look and inquire, and only then did they find out what happened. It turned out that the Xue family had an unsuccessful attempt to force the palace yesterday, but they were all arrested by the emperor, and now they are imprisoned in the prison, just waiting for the autumn to fall.

Before he could finish hearing this, someone rode a horse and leaned forward with the express newspaper on his back, shouting that the Empress Dowager of the East Palace and the Empress of the Middle Palace were both involved in forcing the palace, which had been abolished, and they were imprisoned in the prison together with the daughters of the Xue family.

"I didn't expect it......"

"The emperor and the queen were a young couple who were in deep love, and in the end they ended up like this."

"The wall is down and everyone is pushing, how can such a gentle and kind woman as the queen mother participate in the forced palace? Xu is the emperor was afraid of the Xue family and the Xue family, so he was imprisoned together with the queen. ”

Over the years, Xue Ruran has managed her reputation quite well, but when she was imprisoned for a while, no one said that she was not, and it became Gu Shaoyuan's fault alone.

Xin and also the sensible person suddenly objected

"Have you forgotten that there was a rumor in the capital that the queen was actually a fake pregnancy, and she wanted the heir of her sister to pretend to be the emperor's heir!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I also remember this incident, as if it was suppressed soon after it came out, and then it was no longer ......."

"When you say that, I remember, didn't there be rumors just now that the queen mother had a fetal gas last night and was going to give birth....... Why did the Xue family start to do it yesterday? Isn't it premeditated? ”

"Isn't that the reason! Our emperor is not disregarding affection, if the queen mother really gives birth, when the body is the weakest, a day husband and wife for a hundred days, the emperor will not do anything to the queen mother at this time, this queen, it must be ......."

"Shut up!"

Several people got together, and before they could discuss the whole thing, they were interrupted, and those people looked up and saw that the person was wearing an embroidered spring knife around his waist and wearing official boots

"Official, official, the little one knows that he is wrong, and the little one knows that he is wrong."

"Do you tolerate the royal affairs to be discussed?"

The guard with the knife looked hideous, so frightened that several ordinary people kneeling on the ground trembled, and the other guard couldn't stand it, so he came over to dissuade him: "That's it, they don't understand the rules, just tell them, why scare them." ”

The guard with the knife snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The guards who came to persuade waved their hands to those people, sighed and instructed: "Get up, don't discuss the royal affairs in the future, this is a big deal to lose your head." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you for mentioning it."

Several people said yes and thank them again, and then hurriedly climbed back to their respective homes, closed the door of their rooms, and did not dare to come out again.

The heavens in the capital have changed, the Xue family has fallen, and only the Huo family is left, and some people in the officialdom are also waiting to see the excitement of the Huo family, only to feel that the Huo family is about to become the next Xue family.

But I don't want to, the Huo family is very good at being a person, in the court, as soon as the emperor disposed of the Xue family, Mu Guogong brought the Wen family up.

It turned out that Huo Chenyi's brother and sister had already discussed, and the credit for protecting the hostages had already been handed over to the Mu family.

The Huo family can't be alone, even if the Huo family has been loyal for generations, but in the end, how affectionate the kings have been since ancient times, if they don't pay attention, they may soon become the next Xue family.

"Your Majesty."

When Mu Guogong brought the Wen family up, Gu Shaoyuan frowned as if he had seen the Wen family for the first time, and asked, "Hasn't Concubine Wen been in the cold palace all the time?" How did you get here? ”

"Your Majesty, when the minister passed by the cold palace, he heard that someone was wronged, so the minister stepped forward to inquire, and after listening to the words of Concubine Wen, Fang Jue should come up, and the emperor should make this decision."

Gu Shaoyuan nodded, let out a faint "um", looked at Wen, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Return to the emperor," Wen kowtowed to Gu Shaoyuan, and replied respectfully: "The sinner woman is wronged." ”

"Regarding the hemorrhage caused by the birth of the first emperor and the queen of the emperor, the sinner woman and the sisters of the cold palace are really wronged."

Gu Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes were dyed with a layer of interest, "oh", and continued: "You come to talk to me, how you were wronged." ”

Wen should be, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, he told Gu Shaoyuan about the events of the year and Gu Shaoyuan: "....... The whole thing happened exactly as the sinner said. ”

"There is no basis for your words, you have neither witnesses nor evidence, so how can I believe you!"

"Back to the emperor, the sinner has witnesses!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw that Mu Guogong's eldest son brought up the second grandmother of Zhihua.

Surprisingly, this grandmother is the same grandmother who delivered the first emperor.

Gu Shaoyuan also remembered this person, when Cheng Yufei gave birth, she was also there.

"Your Majesty, this is the grandmother who killed the first emperor and the queen of Yuan!"

"Really?"

Gu Shaoyuan looked at the grandmother with sharp eyes, the person who had been tortured by the grandmother for a long time in the past few days was very difficult, and this time she was meeting the emperor again, no matter how hard her mouth was, she couldn't get it up, just Gu Shaoyuan asked, and she made all the moves. only cried and said that it was requested by the concubine at that time, and if he didn't do it, the whole family would die.

Huo Chen was so angry that he had completely forgotten that he was now above the court, and pointed his sword at her: "What about this king's mother!" No one threatened you at the beginning! ”

The grandmother saw that Huo Chen was furious, and she held a sword in her hand, and she was even more frightened: "After the old slave had killed the first emperor Yuan, the aunt of the Huo family threatened the old slave and said that if she refused to help her, she would tell the old slave all the things to the first emperor...... Old Slave ....... How dare the old slave be disrespectful. ”

"The old slave is just a lowly person, a pawn that allows your powerful family to compete for power, where does the old slave have a little right to choose independently."

"You don't spew people with blood!"

As a general, Gu Shaojing also stood in the column, pointing at the grandmother, and was angry: "The young man said that he was so pitiful, who doesn't know that you have long been with the Xue family just for those money!" Otherwise, what would happen to Concubine Hui's death! Could it be that the Xue family threatened you again? Don't forget, killing the first emperor and queen Yuan is a trace of the Xue family, is it possible that they want to expose themselves? ”

"Or are you still threatening your whole family like you did back then? The Xue family is cautious, if you don't want to, they will threaten you with your whole family, aren't you afraid to force you to go to the first emperor and die with them? ”

"I ......."

The grandmother was speechless by Gu Shaojing, and she didn't dare to defend herself, Huo Chenyi's sword was close at hand, she was really afraid that Huo Chenyi would understand herself with an impulse, so she could take a few steps back, kowtow and beg for mercy: "The old slave was blinded by lard and forgot his righteousness, and he deserved to die, and asked the emperor to spare his life." ”

Gu Shaoyuan sneered: "Since you said that you deserve to die for your sin, and asked me to spare your life, don't you think you are contradicting yourself?" ”

"Do you want me to take your life, or do you want me to imprison you in the heavenly prison and behead you after the autumn!"

As soon as he heard that the Autumn Queen asked for beheading, Wen became even more frightened and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

Gu Shaoyuan only looked at her with a sneer: "When you mutilated three lives in a row, why didn't you think that your life would be lost one day!" ”

Gu Shaoyuan shouted angrily and commanded loudly: "King Ning! ”

"The minister is here!"

Hearing that Gu Shaoyuan called him, Huo Chenyi took the sword in his hand behind his back and stood straight in front of Gu Shaoyuan, waiting for Gu Shaoyuan's orders.

"I order you to detain her and the daughters of the Xue family together, and execute her after the autumn."

"Obey the order!"

Huo Chenyi held his sword in both hands and clenched his fists, and Gu Shaoyuan said lightly: "The Xue family's ambitions are inflated, seeking power and usurping the throne and mutilating several lives of Zhongliang, pretending to be pregnant and deceiving the king, and trying to confuse the truth with falsehood, there are countless crimes. The female dependents and children were assigned to the frontier to fill the army, and Lu Chenghe, the leader of the escort army, personally brought them; After the abolition of the Queen Mother, the two committed more crimes, but remembering their past feelings, they gave Hongling a glass of poisonous wine for them to choose. ”

"As for her ......"

Gu Shaoyuan glanced at the grandmother who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Give me a cup of crane top red." ”

"The Ye family, the Shen family, and the Xue family are in the same stream, and they are not allowed to die well, thinking that the crime is not as good as the Xue family, they will leave the female dependents to be assigned to the frontier, and those who are officials in the court will be beheaded after the autumn, and they will be supervised by Tang Yi, the deputy commander of the escort army."

Several people whose names and official positions were mentioned should have stepped forward and put them in prison with the guilty ministers.

Such a flustered morning can be regarded as a slow end.

The court here is thrilling, and the concubines in Ningshou Palace over there are also discussing the thrilling last night.

As soon as the things in the court were understood, Ningshou Palace received the news, those who were not too enthusiastic about the Empress Dowager Xi, and they all flattered the Empress Dowager Xi with a smile.

At this time, it should be possible to call the Queen Mother directly.

Gu Mingyu is still young, he has been lying in the arms of the Queen Mother by Huo Yunxuan, he has not seen so many people for a long time, and he is a little uncomfortable hiding in the arms of the Queen Mother and refusing to come out.

Gu Mingyu was originally taken care of by the Empress Dowager Xi, and later after following Huo Yunxuan, Huo Yunxuan was afraid that the Empress Dowager would be lonely, so she asked Gu Mingyu to come to Ningshou Palace every day to ask the Empress Dowager to say goodbye.

In the past, the concubines only felt that Huo Yunxuan was sick in the brain, and they had nothing to do with a powerless Queen Mother of the West, but now they feel that Huo Yunxuan is sick even more - knowing that the big tree of the Queen Mother of the East will fall down in the end, why didn't they do it well to talk to the Queen Mother of the West in the first place? This child didn't come out of her belly, she let this child cultivate a relationship with the Queen Mother, isn't she afraid of a disaster in the future?

But that's Huo Yunxuan's business in the end.

Now Huo Yunxuan and Guo Xiangyu are the only people in the harem who are on the concubine position, the queen of the middle palace has been deposed, and Huo Guo and the two have become the most capable competitors.

The family background of the two mothers is evenly matched, Huo Yunxuan's mother's family is slightly better than Guo Xiangyu's mother's family, but in the end, it was involved in the previous imprisonment, speaking of which, the two are evenly matched.

Everyone naturally stammered with Huo Yunxuan and Guo Xiangyu, and guessed in their hearts which of the two would be more likely.

As the saying goes, it's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. Huo Yunxuan is not stupid, these people are inexplicably stammering to themselves, and they are clear in their hearts. In the end, who treats himself sincerely in times of crisis, and who secretly falls behind his back, Huo Yunxuan has already seen through the warmth and coldness of these people when she was in the cold palace.

Gu Mingyu was uncomfortable in front of so many concubines, and he didn't want to be a fool with these people, so he took Gu Mingyu back to Yikun Palace under the pretext that he was unwell.

The Empress Dowager Xi was afraid that Huo Yunxuan was frightened last night, so she stopped keeping her, and dismissed everyone one after another: "You must not have rested well yesterday, go back and rest well, and come to the mourning family to eat tonight." ”

Everyone should have retreated.

"Sister Wan."

Hearing that someone was calling herself, Huo Yunxuan turned around and saw that it was Yang Shihua.

Huo Yunxuan frowned slightly, and waited quietly for her to walk in to see what she was going to say.

The Yang family is as erratic as the grass on the wall, and this time it was also because Lord Yang was timid and didn't dare to follow the Xue family to do a big deal, and he didn't participate in the matter of forcing the palace, so he escaped by luck. But Yang Shihua, Huo Yunxuan no longer wants to trust.

"Sister Wan."

As if there was no barrier, Yang Shihua walked up to Huo Yunxuan with a bright smile, easily took Huo Yunxuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Wan hasn't been sitting in the concubine's palace for a long time, can she go over and sit down this time?" Let's talk to each other. ”

At the beginning, the Yang family was willing to follow the Xue family, on the one hand, because of in-laws, and on the other hand, because Lord Yang was cunning and cunning, and he was very mellow, and he didn't want to offend anyone, so he thought that whether it was Gu Shaoyuan or the Xue family, as long as one side won, as long as he didn't go too far, the superior would not care about these things with him.

Yang Shihua is indeed very similar to the characteristics of the Yang family, and this son will come to slap himself, but because the backer that the Yang family has always relied on has failed, and their family needs to quickly find the next home.

Huo Yunxuan glanced at Yang Shihua with a smile, raised her hand to brush away the hand she put on her hand, and her expression was disgusted: "Brother Yu doesn't like to watch dramas, and this palace doesn't like to sing operas, Yang Guiren shouldn't waste any more effort, this palace still can't go." ”
