475 True and False Princes
On the day when the three kings entered Beijing, it was a rare good weather, and at this time it was already half of March, and the weather began to warm up a little bit as everyone expected.
In the past month, there has been neither freezing rain nor hail, which is obviously a precursor to the imminent passing of the catastrophe, and the people who are shaving in the fields are the most sensitive to perceive the changes in God's face, and for a while they can't help but run to tell each other, and the streets and alleys are full of joy.
However, in this jubilant atmosphere, something crazy and resentful will always happen in the court, this is the government of the court, this is the life of the emperor.
Ye Hou died, died on the way back to the capital from the border of Longxi, the death was miserable, it is said that the body was eaten by the mad dog, even the bones were taken away by the wild dogs, and the head was hung on the city wall by the left-wing wolf king who betrayed the Western Regions, and the facial features were all cut off, and the tragedy of his death simply made him cry and see sadness.
The left-wing wolf king of the Western Regions is the sibling brother of the current king of the Western Regions, and he has a dislike for the current king of the Western Regions because of the struggle for the throne, and because of the exposure of Liao Yuan, the head of the household, who intends to murder the king of Qin, the Great Wei court sent the general to ask for the "spiritual loss fee", and the current king of the Western Regions "cowardly" retreated again and again, and actually met almost all the requirements of the king of Qin.
In the second year of the catastrophe, when the two princes of the Tartars launched a war against the Great Wei with the strength of the whole country, the king of the Western Regions did not take the opportunity to do anything against the Great Wei, but watched the fire from the other side, allowing the king of Qin to take the opportunity to completely subdue the tartl.
The king of the Western Regions was still cautious and shrewd in his early years, but in recent years, he has become more and more conservative and cowardly, and he has long lost the sharpness and uncompromising means of his prime, and he has been feared by two generations of Qin kings. So much so that even if there is a great opportunity to cross in front of him, he still hesitates until the king of Qin expells the tart a hundred miles away. It's too late to regret.
It is said that the left-wing wolf king is cunning and ferocious, and when he told the king of the Western Regions about the plan to attack Wei by the opportunity, he was scolded and driven out of the royal court by the king of the Western Regions. As a result, the Western Regions were divided into two, and the left-wing wolf king of the Western Regions also took advantage of the fact that Great Wei had just finished fighting the Tartar tart, and the army was about to be short and the food and grass were scarce. came back to take the opportunity to tear off a piece of fat on the land of Great Wei.
And the reason why he sent people to attack Ye Hou, who had saved Emperor Hongyuan's life, on the border was also because he valued Ye Hou's identity and his "pediatric" skills, so he valued. But a simple assassination. really killed all the more than 100 guards who escorted Ye Hou back to Beijing under the horse.
When the news came to Kyoto, everyone was shocked, and they really couldn't believe that under the iron-blooded lesson of the Western Regions before and the Tartars in the back, the left-wing wolf king of the Western Regions dared to provoke the Great Wei in such a way; Second, he. Damn, when King Qin kills people and kills red eyes, he is still doing evil in the realm of King Qin, this is tired of life, right?
The courtiers couldn't cry or laugh because of this news, and on the other hand, Emperor Hongyuan, who has been particularly uncertain recently. The important ministers were shocked to see that Emperor Hongyuan's face was pale at first, as if he was choking on food, and then after a while. It was a mouthful of blood that spurted out in a sudden.
Not long after, the important ministers gathered outside the Qinzheng Hall again, and the imperial doctor walked out of the hall after checking the pulse, but his face was like death, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and even his walking steps staggered and fell to the ground.
The courtiers wanted to ask about Emperor Hongyuan's situation, but when they saw the posture of the imperial doctor, everyone looked at each other in horror - I am afraid that the one inside is really not good this time.
However, the lord's body should indeed be bad, Ren is a strong soldier who has a fight with the black bear vomits blood for three days, and sooner or later the oil will run out, not to mention Emperor Hongyuan, who has been in poor health since four years ago?
I'm afraid it really won't last long this time.
The courtiers were apprehensive, and after listening to Xu An's father-in-law's instructions, they all bowed and left the palace.
That is, when the courtiers walked to the gate of the palace, the news that the three kings had rushed to Kyoto twenty miles away had spread to everyone in the capital.
The three kings entered the city gate one after another near noon, and the three kings, who had only been away from Beijing for three years at that time, had changed their appearance greatly.
They are still noble and noble, full of nobility, but their fair skin has been tanned, and people look much stronger and more steady, they do not smile, and rush to the palace gate, and there are many boudoir women who see their faces, and throw embroidered handkerchiefs or purses on them from the teahouse, which is really a good romantic scene.
After the three kings entered the palace, Emperor Hongyuan just woke up, and the three kings wept and asked Emperor Hongyuan to say goodbye, and lay on the ground with a big salute.
"Let's go to Cining Palace to see your queen mother." Emperor Hongyuan seemed to be very tired and waved his hand and said.
"Yes, the sons and daughters will go to visit the queen mother, and come back to see the emperor later."
"Let's go down."
"Yes."
The news from the palace that the queen was going to celebrate the Thousand Autumn Festival came suddenly, and it was completely confusing.
The queen's Qianqiu Festival is in the second half of April, but the queen is more than forty years this year, but it is not yet fifty years, this year is not her whole life, and then the queen is sick in bed, the shape is not good, it is not good, this is the situation, how can Emperor Hongyuan still have the leisure to do her birthday?
Besides, although the disaster has eased slightly, and the seeds distributed in various places have been planted in the fields by the people, but the natural disaster has not completely passed, and the corn in June this year can no longer be harvested, who knows if God will play a joke on everyone at a critical moment and push the people into a land of no return?
In this case, the people are going to starve to death, and the palace will celebrate the queen's birthday, and the ingredients to be wasted at that time are afraid that they will be enough to survive the lives of more than a thousand people who fled the famine.
When Chi Linglong heard the news, she also felt that it was ridiculous, she didn't know why Emperor Hongyuan issued this edict, but she knew that the queen would definitely not live for a month, because Qin Chenghei told her that at most until mid-April, the overall situation would be decided, and both Emperor Hongyuan and the empress would die.
However, before the death of Emperor Hongyuan and the Empress. Concubine Li in the palace died in front of these two without warning.
Concubine Li is the biological mother of the Twelve Princes, and she is from a good family, with an innocent and beautiful family background. He once gave birth to a son and a daughter for Emperor Hongyuan, and his daughter was hanged in the case of the eldest prince forcing the palace, and now there is only one son left, which is the youngest of the five princes of Emperor Hongyuan.
Concubine Li's death came for no reason, but it made many courtiers and nobles who were more and more awake even more frightened.
It can be said that since the three kings entered Beijing. This chess game has begun to die endlessly, and at this juncture, Concubine Li "committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake", hehe. Who is behind this?
Chi Linglong heard Qin Chengsi say that it was the black hand of Emperor Hongyuan, and she was almost scared, I don't know if this emperor was too stimulated and suffered. so much so that the mother of the son of his favorite heir was murdered.
What does he want to do? Is he crazy? Was he stunned by Qin Chengye's vain anger? That's why you did something stupid?
Chi Linglong asked Qin Chengsi for an explanation, and Qin Chengsi said unhurriedly, "He wants to leave a country for Twelve without the constraints of the maternal family." ”
Chi Linglong: "......, hehe, the twelve princes are not the crown prince yet, Emperor Hongyuan has begun to be anxious to eradicate the scourge that may occur in the future for his son, will it be a little too early to plan?"
Again, Concubine Li's maiden family is really an ordinary poor person who can't be ordinary anymore. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his daughter to the palace because he couldn't live anymore; A countryman who doesn't know a single word. What big waves do you expect them to make?
No matter how Concubine Li lifts her mother's family, it must be that family to be able to lift it, and the characters who can't be mentioned will start to prevent murder, and the emperor's mind is really not something that mortals can understand.
Chi Linglong was full of slander in her heart, feeling that the current Emperor Hongyuan was really crazy, which really made people fear from the bottom of her heart.
However, no matter how frightened they were, Concubine Li passed away in the palace, and Emperor Hongyuan deliberately gave face to the twelve princes and Concubine Li's mother and son, and the foreign women still had to cry.
Chi Linglong had heard Qin Chengsi say that she would enter the palace to cry soon, but didn't she say that it was the queen's mother, why did she temporarily change to Concubine Li? Is it really good to change roles abruptly?
It's not good that Chi Linglong said it, Concubine Li stopped for ten days, and then buried, although the weather in Kyoto is not as warm as in April in the past, the temperature has gradually risen, it seems that the catastrophe has indeed passed.
It's just that the natural disasters have passed, and the civil disasters have not yet ended, not to mention Koubian, the left-wing wolf king of the Western Regions, and the southern Xinjiang, as a subject country of the Great Wei, is not at ease; In addition to the border turmoil, many state capitals of the Great Wei Dynasty were divided and divided, and the rebels began to establish themselves as kings.
There are internal troubles outside, the situation in the DPRK is turbulent, and the situation cannot be worse than this.
At this moment, the undercurrent that had been brewing in the palace for a long time finally broke out completely like a flood breaking down a dam.
At the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting, there was a royal history to participate in the queen, and denounced her for "bullying the king, murdering the palace maid, confusing the royal heirs, using the son of the palace maid as his own son, and having the heart of seeking power and usurping the throne"!!
Such an earth-shattering book shocked all the courtiers, and some civil officials who did not have enough endurance even sat down on the court, frightened to the point of not possessing their bodies.
What did they hear, the queen deceived the monarch and used the son of the palace maid as her own son to confuse the royal bloodline?
Emperor, Empress...... Prince......
Everyone had the ambition to move their eyes to the prince who was like being struck by lightning, and the prince's eyes were torn apart, and he actually broke the ancestral rule of "kneeling down first to ask for guilt when participating in the imperial history", and angrily accused the imperial history of "a bunch of nonsense!" ”
He didn't confront the prince in front of the court, only took out a stack of evidence in his arms, and said that the human witness is now waiting outside the palace.
The blood flowers in the hall exploded, the prince's face turned pale in shock, and Emperor Hongyuan announced his retirement from the dynasty in the hall.
As for the aftermath, the queen and the crown prince were temporarily confined, and the matter of "the queen confusing the royal blood and intending to usurp the throne" was temporarily put on hold, without interrogation, but because of insufficient evidence, the prince was deprived of the right to listen to the government, and the queen's qualification to be in charge of the wind seal.
After Chi Linglong heard about the imperial history suing the queen in the Qin Palace, she was also shocked and sprinkled the water in the teacup in her hand, and she said in an almost sharp voice, "The prince is not the queen's own child, how is it possible?" ”
July also frowned and said, "Yes, the slave maid has also seen the prince a few times, the prince and the emperor look like six points, and follow the queen three points, and the discerning person knows at a glance that the prince is the son of the queen and the emperor, how can the biological mother not be the queen?" ”
He was puzzled and said, "Again, every time a noble lady in the royal family has a pregnancy reaction, the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital must diagnose the safe pulse once a month, first, to ensure the health of the royal heirs, and secondly, to prevent people with bad intentions from vainly trying to confuse the royal bloodline, causing scandals or destroying the country." ”
"The queen was still parading with the emperor during her pregnancy, and the queen was pregnant at that time, but the emperor witnessed it with her own eyes, and the queen who was waiting for the emperor Liu Yuyi personally guarded the queen successfully gave birth to the prince before leaving for Beijing. When giving birth, there was a palace mother and a nurse present, which were interlocking, where could there be omissions? ”
July was depressed and puzzled, Chi Linglong remembered the story of "Tanuki for the Prince", but couldn't help sighing, although she also felt that the prince was born to the queen, but if the prince was really not the queen's son, but really as the imperial doctor played, it was the son of the palace maid around the queen, it seemed that there was nothing strange.
After all, in the 5,000-year history of the dignified Great China, almost all the ugliness of the court has evolved, such as brothers taking away their wives, children marrying concubines, brother and sister incest, and powerful ministers ** harem, etc.
After all, the queen can't give birth, although the prince in the adopted harem is raised in front of him and recorded in his name, and he can also be said to be a son-in-law, but this "adopted" son-in-law is different from crawling out of his belly.
In this way, the queen still has a very good motive to "change children".
However, I just don't know how the queen was "pregnant" before? Isn't it a collusive doctor?
It's just that the deceased Imperial Physician Liu is the emperor's confidant, so how can he deceive the emperor for the queen?
Besides, whether she is really pregnant or fake is pregnant, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and the queen's pregnancy is a big deal, there are many people waiting around her, if it is true or false, it is impossible not to show her stuff for ten months; Again, it is impossible for the queen's belly not to bulge in ten months, but if her pregnancy is fake, how did her ten-month-old belly bulge?
