Listening to Concubine Jin's words, the orthodox emperor couldn't believe it. I really didn't expect that the queen was talentless and virtuous, but she was so bold that she actually used witchcraft to harm him. The chief chamberlain heard it clearly on the side, and couldn't help but be shocked: "The emperor has not been sleepless for the past few days and nights, and every time he is awakened by nightmares, is it because of this?" ”

The orthodox emperor is also quite suspicious, the most taboo witch thing in the palace, and Concubine Jin said that she has a nose and eyes, and he can't help but believe it.

No matter how cowardly the orthodox emperor is and how indecisive he is, he can't help but be furious at this time.

He sat on the throne for a long time before he said, "These daring things! Instructed the chief attendant: "You go and send a decree to Chen Jia, and ask him to lead someone to seal the Kunning Palace." Then he pointed to Concubine Jin and said, "You go with Chen Jia, and you will guide you to find out the dirty things hidden by the queen!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Concubine Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes. At this point, most of the success has been achieved.

The queen returned to the bedroom of Kunning Palace, leaning on the couch extremely tired, she froze outside the Qianqing Palace for two hours, at this time she only felt dizzy, the whole person was sad, and the snot also flowed out. The head of Kunning Palace, Mama, was beside her, reached out and touched her forehead, and said with some surprise: "Niangniang, you have a fever, the slave maid will send you a doctor!" ”

The queen said weakly: "No need! Just ask the kitchen to boil a bowl of ginger soup and drink it! "The emperor already had a lot of opinions about their mother and son, and now he is going to find the imperial doctor with great fanfare at this time of the Chinese New Year, and the emperor doesn't know what Lu Dao will think.

At this time, a palace maid came in and said: "The meal has been set, please move over to eat." How could the queen have the heart to eat at this time, and waved her hand: "The palace is not hungry, let's go down." ”

The palace maid went to see the lady in charge, and the grandmother persuaded: "Niangniang, you have to take a bite, you don't want anything else, you have to think more about His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is counting on you!" ”

When the queen heard this, she asked her to help her up. At this time, another palace maid ran in in a panic: "Niangniang is not good, Gonggong Chen led people to surround Kunning Palace!" ”

When the eldest grandmother heard this, she couldn't help but say angrily: "This slave is really daring, even Kunning Palace he dares to seal it!" The queen knew in her heart that Chen Jia had always been cautious, and if there was no emperor's decree, he would not have come to Kunning Palace to spread wilderness. At this time, things couldn't be worse, but she calmed down and went with the palace to take a look! As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out of the temple.

The lady in charge and a few palace maids hurriedly followed.

Chen Jia really led a battalion of brightly armored Yulin Army to surround Kunning Palace. The queen stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa Chen, what do you mean by this?" ”

Chen Jia stepped forward and saluted: "The slave came to Kunning Palace to search for prohibited items by the emperor's holy decree, and asked Niangniang to forgive her sins where she disturbed her!" ”

The queen sneered: "There are any prohibited items in Kunning Palace, how can you say that you can search for them?"

Chen Jia said: "The minions also understand the rules of this idea, and without the emperor's edict, the minions who borrow a few dares will not dare to come here to spread wild." Girl, please see! "Sure enough, I took the handwritten letter of the orthodox emperor.

The queen only felt a wave of vertigo. No matter how dull he is, he knows that something big has happened here. When I raised my eyes, I finally saw Concubine Jin standing behind Chen Jia, and I couldn't help but be even more surprised, "Why is my sister here?" ”

Concubine Jin glanced at the queen, and a mocking smile escaped from the corner of her mouth, "Niangniang, you enshrined the Tongmu people in the Buddhist hall, and it was written with the eight characters of your majesty's birthday, which is really a great rebellion. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" When the queen heard this, she only felt cold sweat behind her, the most taboo witchcraft in the palace was the most severe, and the blow was also 100,000 severe, but anyone who was implicated was a situation full of beheadings. "When has this palace done such a thing, you talk nonsense like this again, don't blame this palace for treating you for slander!"

The most unacceptable thing for the queen is that she has always put her heart into her heart, and Concubine Jin, who she regarded as her confidant, actually ran to the emperor to frame her. She vaguely felt that she had fallen into a trap carefully laid out by someone else.

The lady in charge couldn't help but say angrily: "You cheap maid, you take care of you in vain, you dare to go to the emperor to reverse black and white, and slander your mother like this, do you still have a conscience?" ”

Concubine Jin sneered slightly: "Is it framed, when Gonggong Chen finishes searching, he will naturally know." She has been lurking beside the queen for many years, so that at this moment, how can she be moved by the words of the mother in charge. Chen Jia didn't care about the words and swords on their side, and hugged his fists and said: "The holy order is in your body, don't dare to disobey it, offend!" ”

At the sound of an order, the guards scattered and scattered, rushing into the palace rooms and searching around. This is simply a slap in the face of the queen, the queen is so angry that she trembles, she is the mother of all people, but she has to be insulted by a eunuch.

On Chen Jia's side, Concubine Jin took the lead and took Chen Jia in the direction of the Buddhist hall. She often travels back and forth with Kunning Palace, so she is naturally very familiar with the terrain. The queen hesitated, but still followed with the lady in charge and the palace maid.

She still has a trace of luck in her heart, since she didn't do it, it should still be fine.

Yulinjun got Chen Jia's order, like a wolf into the small Buddha hall, these big old and rough people did not start lightly or heavily, after a while, the small Buddha hall was in chaos, the incense burner was broken, the futon was also thrown aside, the queen looked coldly: "Where are the paulownia puppets you are talking about?" This matter will not end like this, this palace wants to ask the emperor to be the master and severely punish you two daring minions! ”

Concubine Jin had already torn off her gentle mask, pointed to the place under the Buddha shrine and screamed, "Here! It is here that the paulownia puppets are buried. ”

Chen Jia coldly ordered: "Dig up here, dig three feet into the ground and find out the dirty things under the murder of Your Majesty!" "A soldier had already taken a tool to turn over the ground of the small Buddha hall, dug three feet to the bottom, and sure enough, he found two puppets with thin silver needles all over his body, and his face was vaguely the appearance of the emperor and King Zhao.

The doll's chest is written with the eight characters of birth in cinnabar, which looks a little shocking. Chen Jia looked at the queen with a sneer: "Niangniang, what else do you have to say now!" ”

At that moment, the queen seemed to be frightened silly, she couldn't believe that there was such a thing hidden in the Buddhist hall where she would come to worship every day, and she, as the lord of the first palace, didn't know anything.

"I didn't do it, someone must have framed me! Your Majesty, I want to see the Emperor, I want to make it clear to him face to face! ”

Chen Jia said contemptuously: "You want to see the emperor, but the emperor doesn't necessarily want to see you!" Give me a good look at the queen, and don't let anything go wrong! But he said this to his men.

Chen Jia is indeed full of contempt for the queen, as far as the queen's IQ is concerned, she can't even hold a Kunning Palace, and she is being manipulated by others under her nose but she still doesn't know anything, why do you fight with such a smart woman as Concubine Xiao and Concubine Hui?

In the Qianqing Palace.

Orthodoxy looked at the two paulownia puppets placed in front of him, and when he saw the dense silver needles on the dolls, he only felt creepy, and Ha Lu Ha Orthodoxy suddenly laughed wildly, "This is my queen!" ”

The eunuchs and palace maids beside the orthodox were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. Chen Jia hurriedly persuaded: "The emperor is angry, it's not worth it to destroy your dragon body for the sake of such a rebellious person!" ”

Orthodoxy looked at Chen Jia and asked, "Such a femme fatale, you come to tell me, what should I do with her?" ”

Chen Jia snorted for a moment, "There is one thing that the slave has never understood, the eunuch of Xianfu Palace stole the useless five-colored soil for something, but now he understands a little. ”

"Huh?" The emperor squinted at Chen Jia, "Say something quickly, don't spit out!" ”

Chen Jiadao: "The minister once chatted with Zhang Tianshi, and Zhang Tianshi said that there is a cloud in the ancient scriptures: smearing the five-colored soil on the paulownia puppet will greatly increase the effectiveness of the witch Gu method, and it will be more effective for the human monarch!" Because the five-colored soil is a symbol of the wealth of the four seas under His Majesty. ”

Orthodoxy was shocked: "Is this true? ”

Chen Jia said: "How dare a slave be honest about this kind of thing, Your Majesty called Zhang Tianshi to ask and knew the truth or falsehood." ”

Zhang Tianshi was in the palace at this time, and the emperor immediately sent his inner servants to pass on Zhang Tianshi. In a few moments, Zhang Tianshi, who was dressed in a Taoist robe and immortal wind and bones, appeared in the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor went straight to the point and asked him what he had just said.

Zhang Tianshi said: "Since Your Majesty asked like this, Poor Dao didn't dare to hide it, Poor Dao did see such a record in an ancient book. Such evil techniques are extremely vicious, and if they are successful, His Majesty will surely be riddled with diseases and will not be cured. Poor Dao has long seen the evil spirit in the palace, but the Holy Son of Heaven has his own hundred spirits to help, it should be okay, this matter is very important, and Poor Dao has not mentioned it like His Majesty, and please forgive His Majesty! "He was clever enough to take himself out first.

Zhang Tianshi originally pressed the treasure on the prince, but it turned out that the prince was not liked by the emperor, and even the matter of taking him to be named "national teacher" was inconclusive. Chen Jia deliberately revealed to him that the crown prince was convicted of the emperor's detention in Huairentang. He is a sober person, and he naturally knows that he will follow the emperor's words.

Chen Jia knew that Zhang Tianshi, the old fox, would not run to the dark all the way, and would not accompany the prince to die, so he would pull his tiger skin to make a banner.

The emperor sent Zhang Tianshi down, and called all the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting to go down, leaving only one Chen Jia on his side. After the anger, he had gradually calmed down at the moment. He said slowly: "The queen is rebellious, and the evidence is conclusive!" You go and spread my will, and immediately put her under house arrest in the residence of Kunning Palace! All the palace maids and eunuchs waiting in Kunning Palace were all captured in one piece! You will take someone to search Kunning Palace and the Prince's Yuqing Palace for me again, and you are not allowed to let go of an inch! ”

Chen Jia secretly rejoiced in his heart: "The slave obeys the order!" "The prince had an affair with Yigui Concubine, and the eunuch who stole the colorless soil was a person from Xianfu Palace, all of which were linked, so that the emperor had to suspect that this matter was actually jointly designed by the prince and the queen, and the purpose was to hope that the emperor would die early!

Once the emperor dies, the crown prince is the most reasonable and legitimate heir. Without Chen Jia's reminder, the emperor himself could think of this.

If it is just a matter of insulting his mother, or just a matter of the prince's character, the emperor is thinking of the relationship between father and son, although he is angry for a while, but with the emperor's indecisive temperament, the prince may not have a chance to turn over, but if he is involved in the crime of "rebellion", orthodoxy is no matter how generous he is, it is impossible to forgive the prince and the queen!

What's more, the eunuch who stole the five-colored soil was indeed a spy sent by Shu Han, but Concubine Xiao spent countless costs to finally subdue him, if it wasn't for Chen Jia's intention to release the water, how could he sneak into the Sheji altar so easily and steal out the five-colored soil.

The nature of the queen and the prince's "rebellion" was determined, and it involved Shu Han, coupled with the crime of communicating with foreign countries, the queen and the prince were bound to die!

Concubine Xiao has no last resort, this serial plan is really vicious. She endured it for many years, laying out little by little, and only now did she make a move, and as soon as she made a move, she forced the queen and the prince into a corner, so that they didn't even have a chance to turn over.

Chen Jia thought about his thoughts while leaving the Qianqing Palace. The great thing about Concubine Xiao is that the whole thing seems to have nothing to do with her, and she or the people of the Xiao family didn't come out to say a word at all.

It's just that in his opinion, Concubine Xiao is still a little anxious, and it may not be a good thing to push King Zhao to the front too early. King Zhao and the crown prince are not the same, King Zhao is young and heroic, and he is very popular in the court, once the prince falls, a political force will naturally form around him.

At that time, it will inevitably have contradictions with the imperial power of the orthodox representatives, no matter how orthodox it is, he is still the Son of Heaven, and I am afraid that at that time, he will not elevate King Zhao to suppress the crown prince like now. At that time, I am afraid that the one who was suppressed was King Zhao.

It's just that Concubine Xiao's mood, he can also understand that the orthodox physical condition is getting worse, although he has the intention of abolishing the prince, but he is reluctant to act, in case he suddenly dies on the belly of a woman that day, the prince is still Ye Minshu, wouldn't King Zhao want to be blind at that time!

Therefore, it is a great risk to frame the queen and the crown prince now, but Concubine Xiao does not have enough patience to wait any longer.

From this point of view, the other one is hidden behind the scenes, planning little by little, using strength, whether it is patience or strategy, it seems to be more skilled!

Halfway through, one of the eunuchs in charge of the celebrant took a book and offered it to Chen Jia: "Father-in-law, that Shu Han's fine work has been recruited!" Chen Jia took the confession and flipped it over, this person confessed sooner or later, Chen Jia was not surprised, he thought for a while and said: "I have an errand with me, you go to the Qianqing Palace and personally hand over this confession to the emperor!" ”

That person was overjoyed, Chen Jia is now more and more liked by the emperor, the imperial front has almost become his one-third of an acre, he is very tight, and the people who can serve in the imperial front are either his people or his people, even the number one person in the inner court, the eunuch who is in charge of the seal of the celebrant is polite when he sees him now, obedient as a cat.

The incomparable holy grace, coupled with the power of the army, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person among the tens of thousands of eunuchs in Ouchi. The strange thing about the eunuchs was that he could easily replace Meng Chong, take the big seal of the celebrant eunuch, and become the first eunuch worthy of the name, but he didn't do it, and the orthodoxy hinted to him once or twice, but he also politely refused.

Naturally, they couldn't understand that although the eunuch in charge of the seal was powerful, he was called the inner minister, and he was driving part of the imperial power, but he could not be in charge of the army. For Chen Jia, having military power in hand is more important than anything else.

The eunuch went with a thousand thanks. This was originally a matter of showing his face in front of the emperor, Chen Jiaken gave him this opportunity, how could he not be grateful to Dade.

Chen Jia has his own ideas, fanning the flames of this kind of thing, doing too much will inevitably make people suspicious, it is better to avoid it, if the orthodoxy is suspicious of himself, the gains outweigh the losses.

The queen in the Kunning Palace has been looked at. The abolition queen is the same as the abolition of the crown prince, it is a major event that shakes the world, and it is not something that the emperor can abolish if he wants to. Ordinary large families will not divorce their wives unless they have to, because it is generally accepted that it is undignified to divorce their wives, let alone the royal family, and it is the queen of the mother of all people who wants to be abolished.

Chen Jia went to Kunning Palace and walked around, and several leading eunuchs were digging three feet into the ground to find something in Kunning Palace, which was really digging three feet into the ground.

At this time, a chamberlain came over to report: "Father-in-law, the queen has a fever, her forehead is hot, and her mouth is full of nonsense, do you want to find a doctor for her?" ”

Chen Jia waved his hand lightly: "No need! For the New Year, what kind of doctor do you please, bad luck! You find the right pill for her to take two pills, and don't die! "The queen is completely finished. Don't look at Chen Jia's usual respect for her, but at this time, he didn't even bother to look at her.

The chamberlain went nervously, and Chen Jia took a turn in Kunning Palace again, and then got up and went to Yuqing Palace. He sent his henchmen to Yuqing Palace to search early in the morning. Yuqing Palace is also in a mess like Kunning Palace at this moment. The emperor did not order how to treat the prince's concubines in Yuqing Palace, so Chen Jia was inconvenient to touch them.

There are many concubines and concubines in the palace, all of them are like the end of the world, and people are panicking. The soldiers who came in to search naturally would not be polite to them, and many of the concubines' gold and silver were robbed of a lot, and there was a gloomy mist in Yuqing Palace.

Chen Jia first went to meet the crown princess, the prince was not abolished for a day, and Yuxin, the crown princess, was still the crown princess. Chen Jia originally thought that he would see a woman who was in a panic, but he didn't expect to see a calm and calm princess.

She sat upright on the chair in the main hall, and the few grandmothers and palace maids standing behind her were either panicked or angry, but she looked calm as if nothing had happened. Chen Jia hated Yang Peishi very much, the crown princess was his granddaughter, he originally wanted to come over to see Yu Xin's jokes, in order to satisfy the dark psychology in his heart, after seeing Yu Xin, he couldn't help but admire Old Man Yang's tutor was not ordinary.

For Yuxin, the crown princess, it is better to be abolished with dignity and dignity than to cry and cry, and it will be more admirable.

After the ceremony, Yu Xin looked at Chen Jia coldly and said, "Grandpa Chen came here at this time, is it to see the jokes of the palace?" I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you! ”

Chen Jia was slightly embarrassed, he was also experienced in struggle, and he was really a little uncomfortable with Yuxin's straightforward temperament. "The slave also acts on the orders of the saint, and if there is an offense, I hope that the mother will forgive the sin!"

Yu Xin said sarcastically: "Grandpa Chen doesn't have to be like this! I am afraid that the position of the prince will be lost, and we will only be lonely and weak women at that time, so naturally we can only let you dispose of it. It's just that now the palace is still the crown princess of the emperor's own title, and the emperor has not issued an edict to deprive me of my title! This palace can't clean up you, the royal celebrity, and it's still okay to dispose of a clown who jumps off the beam. So please go out and tell your subordinates, they can raid Yuqing Palace, if anyone dares to do anything to the prince's concubines or take the opportunity to plunder the property to fill their pockets, don't blame the palace for being polite! ”

She has the confidence to say this, even if the prince falls, there is still her mother's family behind her, and there is a princess of Jin who is as good as her, Mrs. Anguo. It can be asserted that even if the crown prince is deposed as a concubine, she still has some influence in the palace.

Chen Jia said: "What the crown princess said is that the servants will restrain their subordinates and will not cause trouble to the crown princess." ”

He had nothing to say to the crown princess, so he withdrew from the main hall and really went to restrain his subordinates. Chen Jia believes in the principle of "leaving a line in everything, and seeing each other in the future", rarely pushes people into a desperate situation, you need to know that the rabbit is in a hurry and wants to bite people, although the princess and concubine are not all nobles, but the power behind them should not be underestimated.

But I saw that at the door of a side hall somewhere in Yuqing Palace, a woman with a cloak rushed towards a guard like crazy, and the guard was stuffing the looted gold and silver into her arms! The woman jumped to her feet and scolded, "You bastard with no eyes, do you know what kind of place this is?" This is Yuqing Palace, I am the princess's concubine who is the queen's own concubine, you dare to be rude to me, when the prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, I will definitely beg the prince to destroy your nine clans! ”

The guard, Niu was tall and tall, and pushed the woman to the ground with one hand: "Dream on!" The crown prince and the queen have all been □□, so you are waiting for the prince to be deposed, right? I still want to be an emperor, bah! "One bite and spit on the woman's face.

The woman sat on the ground with a look of disbelief on her face. "You talk nonsense! You are talking nonsense! How could the prince be deposed, how could the prince be deposed! "This woman is none other than the fifth girl Yuxia, she tried her best to marry into the East Palace, became the crown princess, and wanted to replace Yuxin sooner or later to become the hostess of the East Palace and even the whole world, this time she and Yuxin fought wits and courage, and tried all kinds of methods to compete for favor in front of the prince, but she didn't expect that the position of the princess was not fought back, and the prince was finished first!

What is the point of planning and calculating by yourself?

Yuxia couldn't help but fall to the ground and cry. I don't know what fate awaits her!

The elaborate confession was sent to the orthodoxy, who was convinced of the charge that the crown prince and the queen conspired to "kill the king".

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the emperor summoned all the princes and nobles and civil and military ministers to gather in the Taihe Hall to hold a grand court meeting. On the fifth day of the first month, the great seal of the yamen was not opened, and the emperor was in a hurry to convene a great court meeting, which shows the urgency of his desire to abolish the crown prince. Ye Yichen was naturally among the participants.

The emperor ordered the crown prince to kneel, and ordered Chen Jia to count the crimes of the prince, and the prince went abroad and plotted to kill the monarch and usurp the throne, the evidence was conclusive, and his crimes were heinous. The emperor ordered to sacrifice to heaven and earth, Taimiao, and Sheji, and abolished them as concubines, and in order to facilitate the guards, they still live in Yuqing Palace! The queen helped to abuse her, abolished her as a concubine, moved out of Kunning Palace, and lived in the cold palace.

At the same time, the emperor ordered the four companions of the crown prince to be executed immediately, and the officials who were close to the prince on weekdays were also killed or demoted, and all of them were dealt with one by one.

The emperor handed over the crown prince to the three law divisions, and the three law divisions investigated and punished the crime, which seemed to have the meaning of condemning the prince to death! For a moment, the government and the opposition shook.

The Yang family was on the cusp of the limelight, and the old lady ordered the whole family to close their doors. Because the Yang family is the prince's foreign family, although no one has been convicted for the time being, but people are still panicked, and the eldest wife heard the news of the prince's abolition, and she fell ill and bedridden that day!
