Chapter 112: The Emperor and the Empress Fight
Just now, the queen recruited Zhao Heng into the palace under the pretext that Concubine Yang Xian was ill, and also sent Emperor Fengqing from the court to Yonghua Palace, and then let the forbidden army completely block Yonghua Palace.
Later, he ordered the eunuch to give an edict to Huang Xiong, Shen Yue and the four prime ministers, ordering them to enter the palace to meet them, and then leave them in the upper study. Shen Yue, Huang Xiong and others, Emperor Fengqing on the left did not come, and Emperor Fengqing on the right did not come, but it was a matter of course for the courtiers to wait for the emperor, so they didn't think much about it.
With Huang Xiong and Shen Yue in the palace, the most courageous Wan Qi outside naturally did not make any movement, and he restrained Wan Qi. In the three armies of the former Tang Dynasty, most of the auxiliary soldiers have been returned to Wanqi since the congenital coup, and a small part is in the hands of the prince. Now the crown prince is also trapped in Yonghua Palace, which means that ten thousand cavalry and auxiliary soldiers are all contained. And the only remaining forbidden army Jin Wuwei, as early as after Jiang Huai's death, was cleverly installed by the queen Xu Zhiyang, his henchman.
At this moment, as long as she sits quietly in the palace and waits for the emperor to write an edict to replace the crown prince and the Zen throne, she can quietly send Zhao Qian, the king of Yan, to the throne of the emperor.
With the overall situation in hand, the mood is naturally better, looking at Emperor Fengqing, he rarely said softly: "The emperor is going to write sooner or later, why insist so much, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the sister of Concubine Xian will not be able to hold on." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Fengqing glanced at Concubine Yang Xian, who was lying beside him, just now, in order to protect Emperor Fengqing, when the queen brought people in, he was directly shot in the chest by Xu Zhiyang.
Zhao Heng watched Concubine Yang Xian's face gradually lose blood, and even his breath was cowardly, he couldn't wait to slash the queen and Xu Zhiyang. But he knew that he couldn't do it now, and he couldn't even move it at once, otherwise it would be the entire former Tang Jiangshan.
Emperor Fengqing didn't have the same idea as Zhao Heng, his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched, if someone saw it at this moment, he would definitely find out. At this moment, he was already a protrusion of qi. Emperor Fengqing is the emperor after all, even if he loves Concubine Yang Xian, but at this moment, he also puts the righteousness of the family and the country first, looking at the queen with a cold face: "I don't know what the queen wants me to write?" ”
The queen looked at Emperor Fengqing pretending to be confused, and she was not annoyed, this kind of kung fu to nourish qi started when she looked at the beauties of Emperor Fengqing's harem. It is rare to set foot in Kunning Palace again. He slowly learned to forbear, even if he was angry at the moment, he could still say with a smile: "Since the emperor doesn't know, the concubine will remind the emperor." As long as the emperor orders the crown prince to be changed to Qian'er at this moment. and made an edict to pass on to the new prince on a certain date. The concubine will naturally order Commander Xu to withdraw the troops, and let the imperial doctor come to treat Concubine Xian's sister, otherwise she is afraid that Concubine Xian's sister will die. As he spoke, he covered his lips and chuckled, but he only got the cold eyes of Emperor Fengqing.
The queen was not angry when she saw this. looked at Zhao Heng, who was kneeling aside: "The third prince doesn't hurry up to persuade your father, otherwise your mother will not be able to hold on." ”
Seeing that Zhao Heng didn't care. Immediately laughed: "I heard that the three princes are the most filial among the princes, and now it seems that it is fake, and the position of this prince is more important than the life of his mother." The emperor has always praised the three princes for their loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, but now it seems that they are afraid that they are disloyal and unfilial. ”
The queen's face changed as she spoke. Pointing at Emperor Fengqing: "Zhao Cheng!" Don't think that I have no way to take you, you have to stand up for this edict today, and if you don't stand it, don't blame the concubines for helping you set it up. Take pen and ink! ”
As he spoke, a eunuch stepped forward with a pen and ink edict. Placed on the couch where Emperor Fengqing sits.
Emperor Fengqing saw that the queen couldn't bear it, but he sneered: "Oh? If thou wilt let thy son bear this reproach through the ages. I was killed directly, and then the private edict was issued, and I still need to use this tongue with me. ”
Indeed, the queen did not dare to let Zhao Qian bear the eternal infamy of killing her father and killing the monarch and mutilating her siblings, so she made this decision. Otherwise, it would be enough to directly end the lives of Emperor Fengqing and Zhao Heng, and let Zhao Qian take the jade seal of the country and sit on the throne.
But she couldn't do this, not to mention that the minister would suspect that Emperor Fengqing was dead, even if she recognized that Emperor Fengqing was not her victim. The East Palace has been decided, and it is natural for the emperor to succeed to the throne after the death of the prince, if she takes out the edict of deposing the prince and replacing the king of Yan at this time, everyone will immediately know that there is something greasy in it.
That's why she thought of this method, planning to force Emperor Fengqing to write an edict by himself, and then make it public, so that Zhao Qian's throne is justified. Emperor Fengqing naturally knew the queen's intentions, so he delayed it and wanted to wait for reinforcements to come.
Just now the queen said that Zhao Yihe had returned to Beijing, Gao Shun followed the queen's words and volunteered to summon Zhao Yihe into the palace to control Prince Rui. Although it looked like he had betrayed Emperor Fengqing, Emperor Fengqing knew that Gao Shun had deliberately done it for the queen.
Although Gao Shun has not been promoted to ******** for a long time, he has been by Emperor Fengqing's side for more than 20 years, and the tacit understanding of master and servant can be said to be better than that of these sons of Emperor Fengqing. He has always been smart and clever, as long as he goes out of the palace, he will definitely be able to reveal the news, even if the queen sends someone to keep an eye on it. So he was waiting, waiting for the people who came to the rescue.
The queen saw Emperor Fengqing's thoughts, and immediately sneered: "The emperor shouldn't be waiting for reinforcements, right?" ”
Saying that, he pretended to be surprised and exclaimed: "Ah! I forgot to tell the emperor, at this moment, Shen Yue, the Marquis of Dingbei, Huang Xiong, the general of Weiyuan, and the four prime ministers are waiting for the emperor to discuss matters in the upper study. Prince Rui is also trapped in Chonghua Palace now, I really didn't expect the first emperor to leave this only son and deceive the emperor and his concubines. In the past, he was always **** in the court, and when he got out of the court, he nested in the willow lane of the flower street, which really made the concubine think that he was a person who was not doing his job and only knew how to look for flowers and ask willows. Unexpectedly, not only was he brave, but he was even so good at kung fu, and Commander Xu was stunned to move out of the Thousand Machines Camp to restrain him. ”
Emperor Fengqing's face changed suddenly when he heard this, the Qianji Battalion is the most elite one in the entire forbidden army, and it has always been responsible for dealing with some things that cannot be put on the table for the emperor, so they are all ruthless. When they made a move, Zhao Yihe was most likely in danger.
Thinking of the only son left by his brother, Emperor Fengqing slapped the case and knocked all the pen and ink on it to the ground: "You dare to try it on him!" ”
Seeing that Emperor Fengqing's cold face finally collapsed, the queen laughed: "The emperor's concubine is about to die, the crown prince is captured, and I don't see the emperor so angry, how can a Prince Rui make the emperor so angry." Since the emperor cares so much about Prince Rui, he still wrote the edict as soon as possible, and Prince Rui of the province added a few more wounds to his body. Speaking of which, Prince Rui is really a filial piety, hearing that the emperor and the queen mother were imprisoned and killed without their lives, the brave appearance is not exaggerated compared to Shura. ”
Emperor Fengqing was furious when he heard this: "You imprisoned the Queen Mother!" ”
