Chapter 284: The Mastermind of the Three Kings' Rebellion
Chapter 284
"Your Majesty, this ......"
Hearing this, Zuo Idiot turned his gaze to the empress dowager who looked sad on the side, and then hesitated for a moment, so he shook his head lightly at Emperor Zhengcang.
Emperor Zhengcang understood, so he nodded and said:
"Well, the queen mother must be haggard and need to rest, Lord Xiaozuo, you can go to the imperial study with me to talk."
After speaking, Emperor Zhengcang was about to turn around and leave.
But I didn't want Emperor Zhengcang and Zuo Idiot to cross the threshold of the Buddha Hall before they heard the quiet voice of the Queen Mother behind them:
"Wait, stop for the mourners, you ...... Can't go anywhere. ”
When Emperor Zhengcang heard this, he immediately turned to look at his mother and said:
"Queen Mother, after many years, many things are still unclear, wait until I understand everything, and then explain it to the queen mother. The queen mother is tired, so please go back and rest first. ”
Emperor Zhengcang's words were obvious, and he clearly didn't want the Queen Mother to know what was going on, not to mention that Zuo Idiot also thought that it was better to avoid the Queen Mother at this time, but the Queen Mother still insisted on saying:
"No, the mourning family must listen, you have to listen!"
Emperor Zhengcang frowned when he heard this, but his mother was not good at disobeying his will in person, so he looked at the left idiot beside him.
But seeing Zuo Idiot looking at the Queen Mother and asking:
"Queen Mother, it's not the offense of the left idiot, it's really about the secret, you ...... Still don't know as well. ”
The queen mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, which does not mean that she is ignorant and ignorant, and the queen mother sees the expressions of Emperor Zhengcang and Zuo Idiot, which means that she understands their scruples. So he said in a deep voice:
"The emperor, the left idiot, the mourning family is not just the queen mother. More of a mother. Although everything was helpless back then, it was also a fact that he was ruthless. Now that he has his whereabouts, the mourning family must know! However, you can rest assured, the mourning family listens, but it is just a wish. As for how you will counsel, mourn your family, and do not interfere. ”
Emperor Zhengcang has been dependent on his mother since he was a child. Looking for a way to survive in this deep palace together, it goes without saying that the mother-son relationship is self-explanatory.
Now seeing the Queen Mother's expression like this, and hearing her words, Emperor Zheng Cang thought for a moment. Finally sighed softly. walked to the Buddha case and took a stick of incense in his hand, looked at a wordless tablet offered in front of the table, and said:
"It turns out that what the queen mother worships all year round is not ...... Nameless bit. ”
The Empress Dowager and Emperor Zhengcang looked at the wordless tablet together, and after looking at it for a long time, Emperor Zhengcang turned to Zuo Idiot and said:
"I have made people closely guard the temple around the temple, and no one can approach it. Zuo idiot, in front of me and the Queen Mother. If you have anything to say, say it. ”
After Emperor Zhengcang finished speaking, he helped the queen mother to walk to the inner room of the Buddhist hall, Zuo Idiot looked at the back of the mother and son, turned his head and glanced at the nameless tablet in front of the case, took a deep breath, and followed.
After the Emperor Zhengcang and the Empress Dowager were at ease, Zuo Idiot stood in front of the two of them, bowed and bowed, but did not open his mouth to talk about the person the emperor and the Empress Dowager wanted to know, but instead said:
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Zuo Idiot has the courage to ask today, I don't know if the Emperor and the Queen Mother, for the rebellion of the first three princes and His Royal Highness King Yue, to this day, in the end, ...... What do you think? ”
"Third brother?"
Emperor Zhengcang had already heard Zuo idiot talk about it in the Dou Ba unjust case, but he didn't expect Zuo idiot to mention it again today, and thought that he had made progress in asking Zuo idiot to investigate the matter of King Yue at that time.
But it has nothing to do with the current situation, I don't know why Zuo Idiot wants to mention King Yue again at this moment, Emperor Zheng Cang thought about this, couldn't help frowning and looking at Zuo Idiot, and said in a deep voice:
"Zuo idiot, you mentioned him at this time, but with me and the Queen Mother, the person you want to know...... Relate? ”
Hearing this, Zuo Idiot nodded and said:
"What the emperor said is good, Weichen has investigated the case of seventeen bones in Bai'an Village since then, and in general, all of them have been investigated. As soon as they passed, they all pointed to His Royal Highness King Yue, the first three princes! Wechen had told the emperor that the unjust case of Dou Ba involved King Yue before, and Wechen knew that the matter was very important, and he had been secretly investigating, but he didn't want to, and was found out by Weichen...... The truth about the rebellion of the Three Kings! ”
"What do you say?! Is there still the truth?! ”
Emperor Zhengcang couldn't help but stand up when he heard this, and he was even more shocked than when he heard the news that he had another twin brother alive!
Seeing this, Zuo Idiot couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he knew that Emperor Zhengcang had a deep relationship with His Royal Highness King Yue, the third prince of the year, but he didn't expect that it had come to such a point, and he was also a little surprised.
"The third brother himself is innocent, yes or no?!" Emperor Zhengcang was slightly stunned when he saw Zuo's idiot, and he also knew that he was a little out of shape, so he collected his surging emotions and asked in a deep voice.
Zuo Idiot nodded in response:
"Emperor Shengming, indeed, from the very beginning, His Royal Highness King Yue was not among the rebels who were plotting rebellion."
When Emperor Zhengcang heard this, he was not as shocked as he was just now, but began to pace with his hands behind his back, and after a few back and forth, he suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to point at Zuo Idiot and said:
"Idiot Zuo, I ask you, how do you know? Do you know what you're talking about right now?! ”
Seeing this, Zuo's face sank, and he knelt down and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Zuo's words are by no means vain, Weichen once heard his father mention it, knowing that the emperor and His Royal Highness the former King Yue have a deep relationship, what is the nature of His Royal Highness the King of Yue, how could the emperor not know?"
Emperor Zhengcang couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this, he didn't hear many words today, but every sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, almost a little unbearable.
However, Emperor Zhengcang's perseverance and forbearance created by growing up in adversity since he was a child is really very comparable, at this moment, although Emperor Zhengcang was extremely shocked and surprised in his heart, he was not flustered.
I only heard Emperor Zhengcang say:
"You're right, I think back then, the third brother once said to me that my father had already had the idea of abdicating to make way for the virtuous, but because the third brother was thinking outside and didn't want to be bound in the palace early, he would be reluctant to accept the seal of the Son of Heaven, if he wanted to ascend the throne and become the emperor, why did he launch a mutiny?"
Hearing this, Zuo Idiot also nodded and said:
"What the emperor said is very true, and my father also said that His Royal Highness King Yue is not only a Bole but also a close friend to his father, if His Royal Highness King Yue wants to send troops to besiege the city, why does Weichen's father not know? From this point of view, no one knew the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Yue at the beginning, but it happened to be used by people with intentions, so they colluded inside and outside, causing His Royal Highness King Yue to suffer injustice. ”
When Emperor Zhengcang heard this, he had already thought of some of the tricks, but he looked at Zuo's eyes slightly narrowed, and said in a deep voice:
"Zuo idiot, why do you ...... Do you know it all? In my opinion, if you want to find out this matter clearly, it is difficult to reach the sky, how can you be so sure that what you say is extremely conclusive? ”
Zuo Idiot has long known that there is no basis for empty words, and he will not be able to convince Emperor Zhengcang and the Empress Dowager with his own words, but at the moment, Song Yuqiu's handwriting is not in his own hands, so Zuo Idiot can only bet on the emperor's judgment, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, all of this, the mastermind of the rebellion of the Three Kings sixteen years ago, is your one, twin brothers!" (To be continued.) )
