Chapter 438: The Truth Revealed (3)
This woman also used to be beautiful when she was young, otherwise she would not have been favored by the emperor for many years. Elder Zongzheng Pavilion and Empress Dowager Jade were contemporaries, and when he was young, her appearance would occasionally appear in his dreams.
But at this time, she got up from the ground with her hair draped, her face was pale and puffy, her skin was loose and dull, and a dozen wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible. Not to mention the glamorous appearance of her youth, even yesterday's Yongrong and luxury no longer exists, she is an old woman with a hateful face at this time.
A day has passed, but it seems that more than ten years have passed. Not only the appearance, but also the status has undergone earth-shaking drastic changes. Once upon a time, the Jade Empress Dowager looked down on everyone. Now, she bent her waist slightly, looking at the qiē in the hall in a panic.
Anyway, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still mother-in-law. Led by Empress Xu, all the harem concubines all stood up and saluted the Empress Dowager Jade - except for Jin Guifei, who tried to break out of the palace but was ruthlessly knocked out by the Imperial Forest Army.
The Empress Dowager Jade finally calmed down, lifted the long gray hair that was scattered over her shoulders, and her expression was condensed. It's just that she was just about to speak, but she caught a glimpse of the spiritual position placed on the upper seat, and couldn't help but exclaim.
She committed a felony of killing the nine clans, and when she dreamed back at midnight, she was also awakened by nightmares. So for so many years, she has never personally presided over the sacrifice of the emperor.
Now, suddenly seeing the spirit seat of the former emperor perched high on it, and then thinking of Zong Zhengke's words, the Jade Empress Dowager could only dispel the idea of going forward, and took a few steps back like avoiding a snake and scorpion.
The elder of Zongzheng Pavilion coughed lightly, bowed to the Empress Dowager Yu, and said slowly: "It turns out that Niangniang has already woken up, so Weichen will continue to talk about it." ”
Empress Dowager Yu's eyes flashed, she didn't say anything, and stood straight in the center of the hall, as if she was still standing high in the Jinluan Palace. Even if she wants to die, she will die clearly!
"Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect, since the former emperor was able to reveal the body of a resentful soul when Venerable Su Hui practiced the great divine power of the Heavenly Eye, His Holiness could not refuse the request of the first emperor. Thereupon. Taking the opportunity of the centennial celebration of the construction of the Yuyan Mountain Ci'en Temple, His Holiness went to the country of Heavenly Luck. ”
Speaking of this, the elder of Zongzheng Pavilion sighed with a look of indignation: "This exploration." Sure enough, His Holiness was asked to find out. Sister Ke relayed that the Venerable used the great power of the Heavenly Eye to see many souls floating above the palace, all of them couldn't go, and the **** cried endlessly. So. In recent years, the fortunes of my country have deteriorated, and natural disasters have emerged one after another. It is really the resentment of these dead souls that has accumulated to a certain extent, affecting the fortunes of the country! ”
As soon as the words came out, the Empress Dowager Jade couldn't help but sneer, and said in a manly voice: "Lord Cifu, such terrifying words will deceive the children." The mourning family doesn't believe it, then the great powers of Great Qin, Great Zhao, and Great Sheng, there are no resentful souls above the imperial city? Who doesn't know that the harem battle of the Great Qin Empire is the most terrifying? Every day. In the palace of Great Qin, dozens of people who died in vain would be dragged out of the palace. ”
She's exaggerating a little, but it's not a lie. As the largest country in the world, the Great Qin Empire was vast and populous. There, there is a clear hierarchy between families. Not to mention the lowest families, even the top families have hundreds.
The entanglement of interests between these families is so complex that it makes people's scalps tingle, and it can be said that behind every official position, there are insinuations in the struggle of several forces. The official position is still like this, and the promotion and demotion of the harem position are not to mention.
Dying every day, this is the norm in the harem of the Great Qin Empire. It doesn't matter if it's the palace people who die. is still a concubine, in short, she won't die like this for no reason, there is always some cause and effect.
Zong Zhengke didn't want to marry Ying Fusu, although there was a reason why he really didn't have a relationship between men and women for the little senior brother. is also because she has long been tired of the life-and-death battle in the harem, and she never wants to be involved in it again. The harem of the little Tianxing Kingdom can already make people break their bones, not to mention the Great Qin Empire?
The words of the Empress Dowager Jade caused many people present to reverberate. Don't say that the court of a country is a backyard, and it can't avoid fighting. Arguably. Unless it is a family of few people, it is impossible to exist in a family without the slightest calculation.
Even if it is a scholarly family that is known for its clear family style, there are also entanglements of interests between the main family and the family, the lineage and the concubine line, and there are also private matters.
For this, Elder Zongzheng Pavilion didn't want to deny it, he just smiled and said slowly: "Queen Mother, it's not that the ministers are arrogant, how can the solidity of the national honor of my Tianxing Kingdom be compared with the great Qin Dasheng Dazhao, which has been established for thousands of years?" ”
"Yes, there may be resentful spirits above the courts of these great powers who refuse to leave, but they cannot shake the deep-rooted foundations of those great empires. But I am fortunate to be a country, after all, it has only been established for more than 300 years. If it is also a thousand-year-old country, presumably those resentful souls will also have nothing to do with our country. Zongzheng Pavilion Lao Zhengse said, "Niangniang, Weichen just has something to do and wants to ask you." ”
The Jade Empress Dowager sneered repeatedly: "Hehehe, now that the matter is over, what is the need for the elder of the Zongzheng Pavilion to behave coyly?" You have to ask the mourners, and the mourners will also ask you. Elder Zongzheng Pavilion, in order to plot against the Murong clan, you henchmen have been planning for a long time? ”
Zong Zhengge asked in surprise: "Queen Mother, where did you start with this?" Weichen just couldn't bear the truth of the emperor's death being covered up, and wanted to set things right. ”
Before the Empress Dowager Jade could refute again, a wisp of true qi suddenly hit her dumb hole, making her open mouth in vain but unable to make a sound. She was furious, and looked at the elder of Zongzheng Pavilion viciously, but the other party was calm. Soon, her body could not move, and she could only stand stiffly in place.
Shaking his head, the elder of the Zongzheng Pavilion sighed, slowly pulled out a stack of papers from his sleeve, and handed it to the eldest princess of Qinghe first. He said: "Eldest princess, now that the clan respects you, please read these letters first." However, these letters were carefully transcribed by Wechen according to the original words, and the originals were kept in Wechen's Mansion. ”
The matter involves the cause of the death of the imperial brother, even if she has no good impression of the Zongzheng family, the eldest princess of Qinghe cannot turn a deaf ear to this matter. A soldier of the Imperial Forest Army strode over, took the letter from the old man of Zongzheng Pavilion, and sent it to the throne of the eldest princess of Qinghe.
The eldest princess took the papers, frowned slightly, read a few pages at a glance, and then her face changed greatly, Huo Ran looked up at the Empress Dowager Jade, and scolded: "What a slut!" ”
These letters are actually love letters written by the Empress Dowager Jade to a person named "Heluo"! The lingering and explicit text, the lewdness,, and chaos of the plot, even if the eldest princess is already a great-grandmother, she can't help but blush when she sees it! (To be continued.) )
