Chapter 65: The Wind Rises
Rain, rain again. Hit on the sycamore plantain, snapping, green cityscape but also make people feel a little stuffy and blocked in the chest lingering manic depression.
Fu'an Street, Hangfu.
At the beginning of the month, I was posting in the study, but the brushstrokes stopped for a while, and people stayed for a long time.
"Yue'er?" Hang Zhongxuan's call made her wake up like a dream, "What's wrong?" Always so absent-minded? At this time, he sat in front of the bookcase and read the book, and couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw that he had been writing at the beginning of the month.
"Dad" moved his mouth at the beginning of the month, remembering Min Shuo's words on the day of Shangyuan. The eyes are depressed, as soon as the emperor is in power, the court and the inside and outside of the government began to be a little unpeaceful. The seizure of power, has it begun? "Your Majesty, what do you think?" She paused for a moment before deciding to ask.
Hang Zhongxuan was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, "Why did you ask about this?" "In the Hang family, the affairs of the court and the middle of the court are rarely mentioned as if they were some kind of taboo, firstly, because their father and daughter are not of high rank and cannot touch that layer; Second, they deliberately avoided this matter, for fear that talking too much would cause unnecessary trouble.
"Yue'er vaguely heard someone shouting that the emperor was poisoned yesterday." At the beginning of the month, I lowered my eyes, and I thought back to the scene at that time, and I didn't feel solemn.
Hang Zhongxuan's eyes widened suddenly: "Don't talk nonsense, girl. "Obviously, things did get down. No matter what the truth is, everyone just needs to know that the emperor fell ill because of overwork.
At the beginning of the month, I knew it, but I was still a little apprehensive.
At this moment, the door of the study rang a few times, and then Ying Ruolan pushed the door in. "What are you talking about? I heard you chattering outside. She smiled and groaned, holding a basket of snacks in her hand. followed by Xiao Xiao and Qing Dai, one holding tea and the other holding two baskets of dim sum, all smiling, not at all annoyed by the cloudy spring rain.
"It's just some business, nothing." Seeing that his wife was coming, Hang Zhongxuan couldn't help but put down the book and responded affectionately.
Without much peace of mind, she came to Hang Zhongxuan with a snack, "This is the artemisia group that I learned from Sister Gui, you can taste it." With paulownia tea, Xiao Xiao will bring the tea too. ”
After Xiao Xiao served the tea, he also brought a cage of artemisia to the moon as if offering a treasure, "Hehe, Miss, you can taste it." This is what my mother taught us to do. ”
At the beginning of the month, looking at the snacks in this cage, he couldn't help but chuckle: "So many? Why did you suddenly remember to make artemisia balls? As he spoke, he pinched the dumplings and took a bite, the fragrance in the mouth was soft and glutinous, and the gloom in his heart was swept away.
"Hehe, Madam wants to eat Artemisia Tuan, Aunt Gui can do it, it just so happens that there are a lot of Artemisia annua and glutinous rice, so everyone will learn to do it together." Qing Dai also laughed and said, obviously it was the first time she made this thing and felt fresh, "Miss, I also made a few for you to taste." ”
"I accidentally made too much, Aunt Fu Bogui and they are also eating in the hall" Ying Ruolan added with a smile, and picked up a dumpling and sent it to Hang Zhongxuan's mouth.
"You are an old husband and wife, in front of the children" was fed by his wife like this, Hang Zhongxuan said with half anger and half joy.
At the beginning of the month, I was happy to see this house, and I felt that the rain outside the house was not so boring. A certain pressure point in her heart suddenly loosened, in fact, there is nothing wrong with going on like this, she thought secretly and made a decision.
On the other side, it has been a day and night since the emperor fell into a coma, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the palace has turned the sky upside down.
The people of the two palaces interrogated over and over again, and the ghost of the upbringing library cried wolf and howled, for fear of being said to have a cover-up for favoritism, this time the people on both sides were ruthless and merciless. It's just that after so long, there is still no clue, and the scope of the interrogation begins to gradually expand, and all the palaces are panicked.
Su Yi woke up from a nap, and the sound of rain outside the house was dripping.
Recalling that day, Jun Yi fell down on the altar, causing panic and suspicion, and he couldn't help frowning. In fact, he has always been on guard against the Western Party faction, but he has rarely thought about the issue of Empress Dowager Su and King Qing.
The Queen Mother's surname is Su, but she is not his own sister.
Decades ago, after the death of the former emperor's original queen Shen, the position of queen has been vacant. In order to fight against the problem of the Xiao family's growing power in the harem, Su Taishi, the father of Su Yi, who had no daughters, took a girl from the separated family to his knees and sent him to the palace. The struggle for power between the Su and Xiao families gradually spread from the court to the royal harem.
Later, Concubine Su and Concubine Xiao became pregnant successively, and the first emperor who had no children was overjoyed, and once said that whoever gave birth to a dragon son first would make this son the prince, and his mother would be the queen. Fortunately, Concubine Su is still quite angry, and she really gave birth to a dragon a day earlier than Concubine Xiao, and this son is the current Emperor Ming.
Jun Yi was taken away and raised by the Queen Mother at that time after she was born, so Queen Su was depressed until the birth of her second child, Qingwang Junchun, did she get better. After the Empress Dowager, although Jun Yi returned to the Su family, Queen Su at this time already had a young son, and she was not so concerned about Jun Yi.
This is the reason why the relationship between Emperor Ming and Empress Dowager Su is not good. It's just that in Su Yi's opinion, even if the relationship is not good, Emperor Ming is also his son, and he can be regarded as the Su family. Although the Empress Dowager Su has always been reluctant for him to ascend the throne as the emperor, once his throne is loosened, the Xiao family will definitely not be stable, and will definitely take the opportunity to support King Qi, the son of Concubine Xiao.
Most of the people in the East Party of Korea are ordered by him, even if the Queen Mother has a heart, as long as he does not agree, there is no other way, so he has not taken this to heart, this time he has to pay attention to the actions of the Queen Mother and King Qing.
When his expression shook slightly, a servant came to report: "Master, news has just come from the palace." The emperor woke up. ”
He suddenly came back to his senses, and his falcon-like eyes sparkled, "Prepare the car, enter the palace." "Maintaining the prosperity of the Su family is his top priority as the head of the clan, and he can't take this risk.
When Su Yi arrived at the Yangju Palace, the princes and nobles who came to visit the sick and ask for peace knelt outside the hall, but because they needed to recuperate, Guo An only let the queen, the queen mother and a few important ministers enter.
Jun Yi was sitting on the couch, his face was still as miserable as white paper, and he was still holding a bowl of medicine in his hand that he had not drunk.
"The old minister sees the emperor." He stepped forward and knelt down.
Jun Yi didn't respond immediately, but after drinking the medicine, he said slowly: "Su Qing is flat." The voice was hoarse and weak, full of cold and hard dissatisfaction.
"Can you find out who poisoned you?" He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the people present.
He was met with silence. With a cold snort, he sneered: "You don't want to check, right?" It seems that my life is becoming less and less valuable. ”
Suddenly, Su Yi and Xiao Ruchang's faces were so dark that they couldn't do it.
"If you really don't want me to sit on this throne, why don't you recommend one?" Taking a light breath, Jun Yi did not hesitate.
"Panic!" Hearing this, several people couldn't help but kneel down and shout.
Glancing at the queen, Jun Yi looked at the queen mother again, her eyes gloomy, "What does the queen mother think?" ”
Empress Dowager Su's eyes darkened and darkened, "The mourning family and the queen have been strictly investigated. There is no result yet, so the emperor will wait patiently for a few more days. ”
"A thorough investigation? Hehe, and then it's over? "Just like it was at the beginning of last year.
"Then what does the emperor think?" At this time, the Empress Dowager Su was also a little impatient, but she couldn't attack because of the large number of people.
"Cane to death." Jun Yi said lightly, "All the rods are killed." ”
