Chapter 192: Rivals
In Wansheng Palace, Emperor Taihong held the love letter in his hand, his brows became tighter and tighter, and his face became more and more ugly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Junwan stood calmly in the hall, except for the minions waiting on both sides of the hall, there were only her and Emperor Taihong.
Concubine Liu's death was unexpected by Xiao Junwan, even if Concubine Xian didn't attack her, a slippery tire was inevitable. It is not uncommon for concubines to slip into the palace, and there are three cases that Xiao Junjuan alone knew before. Although the fate of several concubines after losing their children is different, the bleak situation is the same.
In the past, the slippery tires of the previous concubines were all thoroughly investigated by Concubine Shugui, and in the end, no results were found, so it was over.
I don't know if Concubine Shu will regret that she was so perfunctory to them back then, didn't find out, and left so many unsolved cases, and now gave Xiao Junwan the opportunity to hit her Concubine Shu hard.
Xu Shangshou's confession has pointed the finger at Shu Guifei who caused several concubines to slip tires, although Xiao Junwan had suspected it in the past, but now no matter whether it was really Shu Guifei or not, he had to let Shu Guifei sit on the charge of murdering the imperial heir over the years.
Concubine Shu has admitted that she deliberately harmed Concubine Liu's imperial heir, she has become a ruthless character in Emperor Taihong's heart, and now there is even more evidence from her henchman Xu Shangshi, presumably Emperor Taihong will be convinced of this.
"There is such a vicious woman by my side!"
Emperor Taihong was furious, slammed the table, knocked over the teacup, and shocked the minions present.
"Your Majesty is angry." The minions knelt down.
Xiao Junwan glanced at the hall, and also knelt down and bowed slowly: "Your Majesty is angry." ”
"Your Majesty, Su Xiang asks to see you."
Xiao Junwan glanced back slightly, but he didn't see the old man who hadn't met again, he had seen it in the square in front of the palace when he returned to the palace last time, and he didn't have time to say hello.
Su Xiang, this person makes Xiao Junwan extremely hateful and can't act rashly, he can't be a prime minister, he can't boast about being the prime minister, in terms of scheming and scheming, Jiang Li in the past is not as capable as Su Xiang's third-layer ability.
Fortunately, Emperor Taihong has been in power for many years, and the ministers around him are not all Su Xiang's minions, if he were replaced by a young Ling Tianxu, I am afraid that he would have been eaten by this old traitor and there would be no bones left.
Today's Xiao Junwan thinks that he is very handy at dealing with the group of concubines in the harem, and he still needs to think long-term to deal with Su Xiang. If it is said that one thing in the world overcomes one thing, and one person descends to one person, Xiao Junwan thinks that I am afraid that only Ling Hao will be Su Xiang's nemesis.
Xiao Junwan sighed lightly in his heart, after three years of gambling, he thought that the wise husband and clever master must wish that she couldn't help Su Xiang, so he would win.
Xiao Junwan came back to his senses, just in time to hear Emperor Taihong, who had been silent for a while, send Su Xiang away.
Everyone knows that Su Xiang must have come to appear at this time for Concubine Shugui, Emperor Taihong is angry, where can he listen to the words of pleading.
If you don't see the best, with his Su Xiang's cunning and cunning, it is not difficult to convince Emperor Taihong, and the punishment of Concubine Shu will inevitably be reduced at that time.
"Your Majesty, this love letter is offered by Xu Shang's servant next to Concubine Shugui, the slave and maid are really frightened after reading it, knowing that the matter is very important, the slave and maid dare not delay, so hurry up to let Your Majesty see it."
Xu Shangshou is the old man next to Concubine Shu, presumably Emperor Taihong has already recognized it, and he also knows that Xu Shangshou is Concubine Shugui's henchman.
Xiao Junwan's words were like adding fuel to the fire, and Emperor Taihong, who had just calmed down a little anger, was suddenly even more annoyed.
Xiao Junwan was a little regretful that it was Su Xiang who came just now, not Qin He, otherwise it would be added to the snow.
The volume of Ming Huang Holy Decree held in Gonggong He's hand made Xiao Junwan's hard work during this period of time not in vain.
Waiting for Gonggong He to leave Wansheng Palace and go to Danyang Palace to announce the decree, Xiao Junwan retired and left.
As soon as I got out of Wansheng Palace, I saw the figure wandering under the steps.
The corners of Xiao Junwan's lips raised slightly, and he sneered secretly: "He still refuses to leave." ”
Su Xiang almost wanted to go up the steps and ask for an audience again, but he was a person who knew everything very well, and he also knew Emperor Taihong's heart, so he understood that Emperor Taihong was angry at this time, and Emperor Taihong refused to see him, so Su Xiang knew that he couldn't try to see him anymore as a last resort, but Gonggong He had already left with the holy decree, and it was time of last resort.
"I've seen the Prime Minister."
When Su Xiang was vaguely anxious, he heard Xiao Junjuan's voice, turned to look at Xiao Junjuan, who was saluting: "Do you know the old man?" ”
"Last time His Majesty returned to the palace from Dongzhou, the Prime Minister led a hundred officials to greet him in front of the palace, and the slave was fortunate to meet the adult."
Xiao Junwan knew Su Xiang, but Su Xiang never cared about her. Su Xiang was about to ask, but when he looked up and saw Jin Tian on Xiao Jun's bun, he immediately knew who she was.
"It turned out to be Xiao Shangyi."
There was a hint of disdain in Su Xiang's flat tone, Xiao Junwan knew that a prime minister like Su Xiang, who was above 10,000 people under one person, would take her as a small female official in his eyes, plus she and Concubine Hui pulled Concubine Shu off the horse, and it was reasonable for Su Xiang to be hostile to her.
What's more, they are old enemies.
Xiao Junwan pretended to be worried: "Your Majesty is furious when you learn the truth, please go and persuade the Prime Minister." ”
Previously, she was worried that Su Xiang would persuade Emperor Taihong to reduce the punishment of Concubine Shugui, but now that the holy decree is made, you have no jokes, and the holy decree cannot be withdrawn, no matter how wise Su Xiang is, it will be difficult to recover.
Now there is a lack of a person who is getting more and more chaotic.
Su Xiang was so cunning, he naturally wouldn't fall for Xiao Junwan, and he also noticed the deep scheming of the woman in front of him.
"There is a reminder from Lao Shangyi, the old man has his own measure."
"Then, the slave and maid are gone."
Xiao Junwan walked out of Wansheng Gate, and met several ministers who came to do things, including Qi Jian and Wang Changqing.
The two also saw Xiao Junwan, but they were just concerned that there were others present, so it was inconvenient to speak.
Seeing this, Qi Jian looked at Wanshengmen and asked, "It turned out to be Xiao Shangyi, dare to ask Shangyi, Su Xiangke is in Wansheng Palace?" ”
"Inside, Your Majesty is angry, no one can see it, and the Prime Minister is still waiting outside the palace."
Qi Jian's words were intended to tell Xiao Junjuan that they had heard that Su Xiang had entered the palace to face the saint, so they also followed, there will never be only one faction in the court, and these ministers and Su Xiang are not in the same boat.
Several other ministers and Qi Jian had an excellent relationship with Wang Changqing, because of Xiao Junwan, they followed Qi Jian and stood on the side of Concubine Hui and Qin Zhao, so they came to contradict Su Xiang.
"Shangyi walks slowly." Qi Jian asked several ministers again, "Let's go first and have a look?" ”
The ministers responded one after another: "Go and see." ”
Xiao Junwan watched them walk into Wansheng Gate, and then turned to leave, but he didn't go far, waiting for Qi Jian and Wang Changqing on the way out of the palace.
What Qi Jian said just now is that there is something in the words, and this "slow walk" is not the other "slow walk". In fact, there is no need for Qi Jian to hint, Xiao Junwan will also wait for the two of them to come out, after all, they rely on careful communication on weekdays, and if someone passes the word, it is not directly discussed in person, and it is rare to meet in the palace.
