One hundred and seventy-eight. Temple Bucket (1)
In the Qianning Palace, on the gold bricks with complex and luxurious patterns, Yu Xiangen kowtowed to his head, and his body trembled like chaff.
The civil and military officials of the east and west columns all stared with wide eyes, and there was some excitement in their eyes that implied approval, and more surprises and disbelief.
Emperor Longqing on the throne of the Nine Dragons, his face was pale, and the corners of his solemn lips leaked a trace of poison, and he threw himself at Situ Yi, who was beside Yu Xiangen with a high-spirited posture.
Situ Yi raised his head calmly, met the emperor's poisonous gaze, bowed calmly, got up and said loudly: "Minister Situ Yi, capture the thief Yu Xiangen in front of the battle." Because of the importance of the matter, he did not dare to specialize, so he escorted the thief to the palace. ”
"Yu Xiangen?" Emperor Longqing squeezed out three words from between his teeth. The voice was not loud, but it was full of murderous energy. He didn't expect that this half-old eunuch, who was "heartily angry" about him, would be openly carried to the palace alive by Situ Yi, who was not good at coming.
"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die! Slaves and maids should be damned! Yu Xiang'en landed on the ground. He could not see the emperor on the throne of gold. I don't know that the murderous aura in his eyes is actually cast on Situ Yi on the side. I only thought that the voice of gnashing teeth was resentful of his bad work. I have already scared away my soul, and I can't help but kowtow to confess my guilt.
"Yu Xiangen, the heinous crime you committed can be stopped by death? It is not appropriate to rank the ministers and tell you all the heinous evil deeds you have committed. Without waiting for Emperor Longqing to signal, Situ Yi turned around and said sharply to Yu Xiangen, who had lowered his eyelids.
Emperor Longqing's eyebrows jumped fiercely, and in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, he had to suppress his anger. Slowly realized that his calculation was completely wrong.
At the beginning, he really shouldn't have easily believed the return of Qin Nanfu and those "Fengzhuwei", he didn't see the corpse when he died, he really shouldn't believe the news that Situ Yi was dead. This is one of the big mistakes.
Second, in the Tongguan battle report, Prince Changping reported that because Yu Xiang'en was disturbing the army's heart, he beheaded him in front of the battle. Although he was suspicious, no one tracked it down, thinking that Yu Xiangen didn't know much, and even if it fell into their hands, he wouldn't be able to make any big waves. Neglected, Yu Xiangen's importance is not what he knows, but his identity as a close servant in the deep palace and a favored servant of the emperor. In many things, I am afraid that what he says, the ministers will believe it.
Before Shaw was impeached, he used tactics to take back the command of the Praetorian Guard into the hands of his "henchmen". Therefore, when Prince Changping and Situ Yi participated in Xiao Song, he only thought that the restraining hatred of the Xiao family in the past two years contributed to the rapid retreat of the Xiao family's forces, which was the third big mistake.
He once thought that as long as the imperial power was in his hands and the seal was in his hands, the Chu family's world would be his. There is a distinction between monarchs and ministers, Prince Changping, a virtuous king known for his benevolence, virtue and courtesy, has no choice but to abide by the way of monarchs and ministers! The word "virtuous" can achieve Changping, and it will eventually be able to drag him down. This is the fourth big mistake.
After thinking about it for a while, although Emperor Longqing felt deeply annoyed, he still smiled lightly on his face: "Yu Xiangen is an internal prisoner, if there is really something disobedient to Aiqing, just hand him over to the court to deal with." And why did you carry him to this golden temple? At the beginning of the new year, in front of hundreds of officials, can Aiqing still blame an internal supervisor in the palace? ”
Situ Yi bowed and said with a light smile: "As a general of Great Chu, the minister naturally has no selfish grudges with an internal supervisor. However, the crime committed by Yu Xiangen was extremely heinous, and if it were not in front of hundreds of officials, it would not be enough to demonstrate the righteousness of the emperor. Anyway, regardless of Emperor Longqing's expression becoming annoyed, Situ Yi only bowed his head and said to Yu Xiangen: "Don't confess your crimes one by one!" ”
Yu Xiangen glanced at Situ Yi beside him, knocked his head again, and said loudly: "The slave is guilty." The slave is guilty! But the slave and the maid are coerced, and the slave and the maid are just acting according to orders! The noble concubine ordered the slave maid to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the slave and maid dared to mix the crossbow arrow wood juice in the soup of the concubine Zhou Xie, and poisoned him! ”
Yu Xiangen's trembling words did not fall, and there was a buzz in the hall. Emperor Longqing on the throne, his fists clenched, regardless of the light sound of his knuckles. shouted loudly: "Kill the prince!" You, you dog, dare to kill my own brother! His heart is vicious! Vicious! Someone! Drag this daring brute down to me and beat him to death! ”
As soon as the emperor's order came out, the gold-armored guards outside the palace immediately rushed in.
But I don't want to let out a high-pitched and long "Slow!" "The boiling of the four is easily suppressed.
I saw that Situ Yi had turned around and blocked behind Yu Xiangen. And those Praetorian guards who rushed in with great momentum and had the right to kill important ministers in the palace, saw his body Ling Ran, and even stopped and looked at each other. A moment later, the guards actually put away the golden guns in their hands at the same time and stood in the hall in a daze.
"You ......" Emperor Longqing trembled angrily.
"Yu Xiangen said that the stakes are very high, and you must not kill without trial. The minister asked him to allow him for a moment, and ordered him to recount all the monstrous conspiracies of the inner court that he knew, and then he would have a division to examine the matter in detail. In order to get to the bottom of the water, return the royal family to the name, and return the world to justice! "Although Situ Yi has been subordinate to Chen, from beginning to end, he does not call Emperor Longqing His Majesty, a saint. And the last two sentences are particularly loud. In the Manchu Dynasty, the hearts of the people are already clear. He is going to avenge the death of the former prince in vain!
I don't know where to take the lead. In short, his words landed, and Lang Lang behind him suddenly seconded the proposal. The full hall of "return the royal family to clear the name, and return the world to justice!" "Between the golden pillars of the Nine Dragons, Emperor Longqing, who was forced, had to retreat.
Without waiting for the God King to speak, Situ Yi turned around to himself, stared at Yu Xiangen at his feet, and said sharply: "Only kill the prince?" What else? In the camp that day, in front of the four festival envoys, how did you explain them one by one, and you will say the same today! ”
There was another buzz in the hall! It is not uncommon for the case of killing the prince to move out of Concubine Xiao Gui, the Xiao family is defeated, and it is normal for Concubine Gui to be affected. But Yu Xiangen seems to have some shocking secrets. And he has confessed in front of the five major festivals. In other words, although the main person in the hall is Situ Yi, behind him, there are four other section envoys, that is, 560,000 troops!
The members of Zhu Zi couldn't help but tremble. Only then did it suddenly dawn on him, it turned out that today's so-called chronic illness of Prince Changping and his recuperation in the mansion were actually just to avoid the sharp blood light in the palace. It turned out that Yu Xiangen was just a fuse. It turned out that Situ Yi didn't just want to avenge the death of the prince in vain.
Yu Xiangen obeyed the order, swallowed his spit fiercely and said: "In March of the first year of Shaoping, the slave maid was transferred to Concubine Xiao Gui, who was the concubine's Yuxiu Palace errand at that time. Niangniang saw that the slave maid was still clever, so she transferred the slave maid to the small kitchen of Yuxiu Palace, where the slave maid was taught by several masters, learned a lot of medicinal medicine, and used food instead of medicine to nourish the formula. Later, when the emperor was unwell, the concubine recommended the slave maid to the imperial kitchen......"
"Tell me when you went to the Imperial Kitchen!" Situ Yi interrupted Yu Xiangen and reminded loudly.
"Yes, yes, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in the second year of Shaoping!"
"The second year of Shaoping! Since then, I have had a different heart! The discussion behind him rose again.
"Then, in the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, the emperor was unwell due to improper eating and drinking. The first emperor was in the Yuxiu Palace on the right day, and the next day breakfast, the slave maid entered a warm stomach soup, that soup is simple, the first emperor is not eating well, the slave maid is mainly yam and warm, supplemented by hawthorn, tangerine peel appetizing and shengjin ......"
"Getting to the point!" Situ Yi interrupted Yu Xiangen's attention to him.
Yu Xiangen choked for a moment, and then continued: "Then, that soup meets the appetite of the emperor." Niangniang recommended the slave maid to the imperial kitchen, and later, the slave maid had a good life and was loved by the emperor, and since then, she was transferred to the emperor's side and served the emperor's medicine. ”
Speaking of the greatest glory in this life, Yu Xiangen couldn't help but pause nostalgically. Yu Guangli suddenly saw Situ Yi staring at his cold eyes, and then immediately raised his breath and continued: "Since the fifth year of Shaoping, the Former Emperor's dragon body has often been uneasy. The adults of the Manchu Dynasty recommended doctors and medicines one after another. At that time, two were deeply favored. One is the Qingxu Daoist recommended by the prince, and the other is recommended by the uncle of the country, and the other is a doctor from the Western Regions named Assufu.
That Qingxu Dao is long in Dan Dao and is not good at medicine, so although the emperor likes to discuss Taoism and Zen with him, he does not often take his pills. But the doctor really had two strokes, and after less than two months of his treatment, the emperor felt that the dragon's body was refreshing. From then on, Nasuf was greatly appreciated by the emperor. Almost all of the medicinal drinks taken by the emperor were tried by Assuf. ”
"Since the first emperor almost didn't eat the elixir of the Qing Void Dao Chang, then why did Asufu say that the first emperor and the first emperor's Chen illness was caused by the poison in the pill? How much did you get involved in the matter of Assuf? Situ Yi asked coldly.
"General Rongyu! How could Asuf treat such a eunuch as a slave and maid as a human being! Besides, this is a great crime of killing the monarch and rebelling and exterminating the clan! Even if the slave dies 10,000 times, she doesn't dare to know and not report it! The general is clear! Yu Xiangen fought in both arms. Obviously, he had forgotten about Emperor Longqing on the golden throne in front of him, and only kowtowed to Situ Yi and begged for mercy.
"Kill the king!" "The first emperor didn't ...... poisoned by taking pills" "A bold thief, he dared to kill the king!" The civil and military officials behind him were excited, obviously so shocked that they had forgotten the court etiquette system.
Only Emperor Longqing on the golden throne was silent with his teeth.
"Well, since you won't confess, let Asouf speak for himself! Someone, bring Asouf up! Situ Yi suddenly turned around and said to the guards outside the door.
"Isn't Asouf already dead?" "Asouf is back from the dead! What the hell is going on? In the hall, some old clan royals and senior ministers began to raise their eyebrows, and the voice of discussion had obviously become an aggressive question.
Everyone couldn't help but look back at the outside of the hall, only to see that the three guards had been ordered by Situ Yi, and they trotted all the way to the back of the hall.
