Chapter 657: Embarrassed

This sound is monstrous, with a majestic and domineering spirit.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned.

Why does this sound so familiar?

More importantly, how did this sound come from the door of the main hall?

The first time they greeted the three princes, they were all attentive, of course, some of them were big-hearted, because they were so happy, they didn't hear it flat, and they couldn't tell who shouted, so they hurriedly said, "Emperor Xie." ”

The voice is infinitely flattering.

When the emperor entered, there were people kneeling, some standing, and some people half-kneeling and half-squatting, and the levels were uneven.

But when he turned around, he saw that the person who came in was the emperor, and he immediately knelt down in fright.

This time, it was the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who knelt down, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The third prince stood in front of the dragon chair, holding a jade seal in his hand, and when he saw the emperor coming back, it was as if he had seen a ghost, and his face turned white.

"Father...... Father's ......? ”

He knotted his tongue and hurriedly went down the steps to kneel down for the emperor.

Because of fear, his legs were weak, and the jade seal in his hand almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the right minister was quick and hurried.

The emperor just glanced at him, he was wearing an ordinary brocade robe, dark, and the style was the same as the dragon robe, his wide sleeves shook, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Before coming to the main hall, I went to the mourning hall to take a look, and I never imagined that I would be able to see the afterlife while I was alive," the emperor said with a smile.

The smile was gentle, and there was no anger at all, if it weren't for the fact that his eyes looked like ice cubes, I really suspected that he was joking.

He fell out of the boat and was killed. It's not the emperor at all, but the secret guard pretending.

So he took a secret guard and rode back.

He quietly returned to the palace without alarming anyone.

He knew that the main hall was in trouble, but he went to the mourning hall first.

In addition to the eunuchs and maids, only the young Seventh Prince knelt there to burn paper money for him.

He has many sons, and many daughters.

There is only one Seventh Prince who has never taken it to heart before, and he still remembers him in his heart!

Thinking about it, the emperor couldn't help but laugh at himself, in the palace before, these princes were more filial than the other. Even if he wants the moon in the sky. They can also take it off for him.

Now that he's dead, he's ignored.

The emperor stepped up the steps and sat on the dragon chair.

Empress Dowager Zheng was trembling with anger when the third prince took the jade seal. The third prince asked someone to send her back to Yongning Palace to rest.

The emperor sat down. Once again, the civil and military officials knelt down to ask St. Ann.

Pei Youxiang carefully held the jade seal and sent it to the emperor.

Gonggong Xu returned to the emperor's side to serve.

A little father-in-law brought tea. Gonggong Xu personally sent it to the emperor.

Gonggong Xu knew that the emperor was angry and said, "Your Majesty." You start by taking a sip of tea to moisten your throat. ”

The emperor rode back to the palace, and he hadn't drunk tea for a long time, and he was a little thirsty.

Without much thought, he took the teacup and gently played with the lid of the teacup.

Just as he was about to drink tea, a minister said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”

The emperor lifted his eyelids and glanced at the minister.

"What's the matter?" The emperor asked casually, and continued to drink tea.

The minister was afraid that he was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't drink tea!" ”

At that time, the teacup was brought to the mouth.

Hearing this, the emperor's heart was cold.

Gonggong Xu hurriedly touched the tea cup in the emperor's hand and asked the little father-in-law to come over with a silver needle.

I poked into the teacup, and when I took it out, it was black and shiny.

Highly toxic!

See blood seal your throat!

The emperor's face was as cold as frost.

The third prince knelt on the ground, and a cold current crossed his back.

The Manchu civil and military forces sighed.

That tea is actually poisonous!

Thinking that the emperor finally escaped death and returned to Kyoto, he almost died on the dragon chair, and when he thought about it, his clothes were soaked.

And how did Master Zheng know that there was a cat in the tea?

A group of ministers all looked at Master Zheng, seeing that his face was white and his head was covered with cold sweat, what else did they not understand in their hearts?

This tea poisoned the three princes.

Although the Queen Mother announced the decree to let the second prince inherit the throne, the Queen Mother knew that the third prince had the Praetorian Guard in her hands, and she just announced the decree, and it would not help, and she could not change anything at all.

However, it is not without a chance to kill the three princes, as long as the three princes sit on the dragon chair, it is impossible for the eunuch not to serve him tea.

If he drinks it, he will die!

It's just that who would have thought that the emperor would come back suddenly, would Lord Zheng dare to let the emperor drink that cup of poisonous tea?

The emperor is the son of the queen mother, and the second prince is close, no matter how important his status is in the queen mother's heart, can he be heavier than the emperor?

If he is not in the main hall, the emperor drinks tea and dies, but the problem is that he is there!

And this idea was made by him, if the Queen Mother knew that he didn't stop the emperor in time, causing the emperor to be poisoned, would she have a good face for him?

I'm afraid that I can't wait to peel him and cramp his bones, the Zheng family still has a future to speak of?

It is estimated that when the second prince ascends the throne, he will kill him.

Killing the king and seizing the throne is not the same thing as killing the three princes.

He was forced to stop it.

Feeling the gaze thrown around, Lord Zheng knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister's loyalty to you can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the minister is not sure that the tea cup is poisonous, but the ministers don't know that you are safe and sound, and only listened to the rumors and mistakenly thought that you were killed by the assassins, the emperor did not leave a posthumous photo, and all the princes have the possibility of inheriting the throne, Your Majesty, you have also seen that for the throne, the Praetorian Guards were used, and the knives were almost on the neck of the Queen Mother, and the ministers were just careful not to make mistakes, Who would have thought that someone would actually poison the tea? ”

Lord Zheng's mind is also numb enough.

He directly pushed the poison in the tea to the prince to seize the throne, and the three princes all used the Praetorian Guard to force the palace, what is the rarity of poisoning the tea?

If there is no evidence, it is better not to speculate.

He is loyal, reminding the emperor at a critical time, it can be regarded as saving the emperor's life, if he is selfish, the emperor will go to the king of Hades to complain about his grievances.

He knew that speaking out would be questioned, but he did it anyway, and this is loyalty.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and watched Lord Zheng kneel on the ground, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Even if Lord Zheng's words are high-sounding, his heart is like a mirror.

He was a little tired, waved his hand and said, "This matter will be handed over to the Criminal Department for thorough investigation." ”

The Criminal Department was named, the corners of Shangshu's eyes twitched badly, the Manchu Dynasty was both civil and military, why did he encounter this unlucky errand, God knows if the emperor wants him to really investigate, or just forget it?

However, even if he was beating a drum in his heart, Shangshu of the Criminal Department took the matter very calmly, and said that he would do his best to investigate the matter thoroughly.

At this point, the poisonous thing in the tea is over.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty held their breath and waited for the emperor to go crazy.

But the emperor didn't speak, the third prince knelt on the ground and sued first, he just grabbed the jade seal and dispatched the Praetorian Guard, he was completely forced to helpless, the second prince used a bitter meat trick, if he didn't resist, he could only let the second prince slander.

came out to sue the second prince, and the third prince also sued Prince Ding, he knew that the emperor was safe and sound, but he didn't say a word, only told him that he was sick at home, and let the news of the emperor's death spread all over the Great Zhou, causing turmoil in the hearts of the people, he didn't even tell the queen mother, if he said it, at least for so many days, the queen mother would not be heartbroken, and fainted with grief countless times.

's words really provoked the emperor's dissatisfaction with Prince Ding.

He immediately ordered someone to summon Prince Ding.

As a result, the father-in-law came back and said, "Your Majesty, the people in Prince Ding's mansion said that the prince went out of the city yesterday, as if he had gone to the border pass." ”

The emperor's face immediately changed in blue and purple, and his fist slammed heavily on the dragon case.

was careless for a while, but he took advantage of the loophole!

But he can't control the affairs of the Ding's Prince's Mansion, this is the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Ding's Prince's Mansion agreed, if you don't go to the court, the Ding's Prince's Mansion is casual, and it can't be mandatory.

He rushed back to the border in such a hurry, didn't he just want to find Yu'er to be courteous!

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Pei Youxiang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, after this incident, the minister feels that the prince should be established as soon as possible, so as not to cause many unnecessary disasters." ”

Although even if the crown prince is established, he can't put an end to the hearts of those princes, but something has happened, and these ministers don't have to be in a dilemma, right?

The emperor moved his dragon robe and glanced at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Everywhere the emperor's eyes looked, the ministers bowed their heads one after another, for fear that an inappropriate expression would anger the emperor.

In the main hall, the quiet needle drop can be heard.

After a while, the voice of voice came.

"It's time to make a prince."

As soon as the words fell, the ministers looked up at the emperor one after another.

I saw the emperor say, "Before the establishment of the prince, there is an old past that needs to be announced." ”

Hearing this, the ministers looked at each other.

Past?

Or is it an old story related to Lichu......

Isn't that the one that?

PS: I'm sorry for the troubles of the past two days.
