Chapter Seventy-One: Bringing Closer Together
Zhao Cai looked at Wei Yunse's corpse, and his eyes were cloudy.
He was a little scared, and began to re-examine Chen Shou beside him, deeply suspecting that this was what he killed.
Although there are several princes in the old department, they have been pushed out to take the blame, but even the young Tianzi who has no experience in struggle can see the clues.
It was the Marquis of Zhongyong who made an order to lure Wei Xiang into the palace, but it was such a coincidence that the old department of the prince was hidden in the palace and stabbed him to death in the palace.
Zhao Cai remembered Li Xin's words when he left: Your Majesty, you must not entrust all matters to Chen Shou.
"Wei Xiang!"
When Zhao Cai was thinking deeply, a howl suddenly came out of his ear, and Chen Shou pounced, not afraid of blood, and howled in front of Wei Yunse.
All the officials looked sideways, Wei Dang's henchmen gritted their teeth or trembled in horror, and Huang Zhen and the others turned their faces away embarrassedly.
Chen Shou cried sincerely, raised his fist and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must avenge Wei Xiang." The minister proposed that the assassin be cut by a thousand knives and put to death! ”
Zhao Cai shuddered: "Just... Just according to Qingqing's words. ”
"Cai Zhongqiu, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo Mansion of Wei Xiang's son-in-law, worked hard and made great achievements, and in order to quell the rebellion against the prince, he specially led troops from the Daimyo's Mansion to come. The minister proposed to reward Cai Zhongqiu and reward 100,000 soldiers. ”
"Quasi-play..."
Zhao Cai breathed a long sigh of relief, rolled up the dragon robe, wiped his tears, and walked out of the hall through the back door in despair.
The eyes of the ministers in the hall fell on Chen Shou, Chen Shou stood up straight from the corpse, looked around, and his eyes were a little cold.
"The death of Wei Xiang shows that the residual poison of the rebel prince is still there, and if this group of traitors is not completely eliminated, I am afraid that more people will be killed by them."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials became nervous, and they thought about hurrying to show their loyalty to the Marquis of Zhongyong.
Chen Shou slowly walked out of the main hall, turned to the South Palace, and went to meet Concubine Zhao.
Originally, the concubine was going to live in the West Palace, but the West Palace was burned by fire and has not been completely cleaned up yet.
The princes and princesses of the former emperor have all been driven to the summer palace to live temporarily, while the concubines live in the south palace.
In the palace of Concubine Zhao, the palace ladies are in groups, the eunuchs are not counted, and the palace ladies in the two rows hold up the fans and stand on both sides.
Concubine Zhao doesn't like these scenes very much, but she can't handle her son's filial piety.
The concubine sitting on the top was obviously a little unaccustomed, and even a little restrained, and when she saw Chen Shou coming in, her expression was a little soothed.
"Chen Shou has seen the concubine."
"Hurry up and excuse me, come on, give a seat to the loyal and brave marquis."
Chen Shou glanced at it and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is benevolent and filial, but the minister has some important matters that he has to talk to the concubine in detail." ”
Concubine Zhao waved her hand and asked everyone to retreat, and the palace ladies rushed out, and the concubine was relieved and said with a smile: "It's better to have fewer people." ”
Chen Shou said with a smile: "Concubine, the minister is here to tell the concubine about an old thing. ”
"What... What's the old thing? ”
Concubine Zhao has lived a very miserable past few decades, and she doesn't want to talk about the old things at all.
"About Su Qiongzhi."
As soon as she heard this name, Concubine Zhao's eyes immediately turned red, and her tone was a little nervous, "You... Do you know her whereabouts? ”
Chen Shouwei was surprised, she had seen Miao De, it seemed that Miao De didn't tell her. I don't know why my godfather is hiding it, Chen Shou sighed and said, "She is in Xiliang and is doing well." ”
"Well... Okay, that's good. Concubine Zhao wiped her tears and sobbed.
After the death of Prince Fufeng, Emperor Gengyuan did not immediately show his fangs, on the contrary, the prince was dead, and the court had to whitewash and praise him no matter what.
So Concubine Zhao and her husband lived a stable life for a period of time, and their husband and wife were in love, although they were very sad about their father's death, but they were not affected.
A few years later, they gave birth to a daughter, and at this time, Emperor Gengyuan had been on the throne for a long time, and his position was secure, and his true nature was gradually revealed.
once again took advantage of the palace night banquet to forcibly occupy Concubine Zhao, and was detained in a side courtyard, and never let her out again.
Concubine Zhao has never heard from her family again...
Time flies, the years are green, and when I hear Su Qiongzhi's three words again, it seems like a world away.
Chen Shou persuaded for a while, and said with emotion: "I am in love with her, and I have already made a private agreement for life, and please rest assured that Chen Shou will definitely take care of her." ”
Concubine Zhao was even more relieved and speechless with excitement.
Chen Shou nodded secretly in his heart, I scared the little emperor today, I have to get closer to him and let him know who the family is.
"It's not early, Weichen is going out of the palace."
Concubine Zhao stretched out her hand and said, "The first emperor... That person is dead, why don't you take her into Beijing? ”
Chen Shou sighed and said: "This matter must not be done, the concubine may not know, back then... There is such a group of people who are angry with Prince Fufeng, and there are not a few of their relatives who have been beheaded all over the house. These people now have a White Lotus Sect, which is spread throughout the Great Qi. The rebel prince Zhao Zhe was the one they instigated the rebellion, and these people hated Ling Zun to the core, and they were planning to harm Qiongzhi, so the godfather and others arranged for her to take refuge in Xiliang. ”
When Concubine Zhao heard that her biological daughter was in such a dangerous situation, she clutched her chest and became worried again.
Chen Shou slowly retreated, and as soon as he walked on his front foot, Zhao Cai came.
As soon as he entered, he saw that the main hall was empty, just like the small cold palace back then. And his mother's eyes were red and swollen, and she was suddenly angry.
"Bastard! I have commanded you to serve your good mother, but why is there no one? ”
Concubine Zhao hurriedly said, "Cai'er, I let them out." ”
"Mother, now that your son is the Son of Heaven, don't be afraid. If anyone neglects you, his son will cut off their heads. ”
"My son has become the Son of Heaven, don't be like your father, be kind to others. Don't always shout and kill, know that if you are good to others, others will be loyal to you. ”
Zhao Cai was a little impatient, but he was still filial and didn't argue with his mother.
The mother and son sat together, and Zhao Cai said: "Today, the imperial dining room made a bad duck, the stew is very fragrant, and the son specially came to eat with the queen mother." ”
Concubine Zhao wiped her tears and said with a smile: "It's rare that you are so filial." ”
"Come on, set up the food and drinks."
The concubine looked at her son and said in her heart that he was the Ninety-Five, if he was allowed to protect his sister, would it be safer.
But after thinking about it, Xiliang is far away from here, and if you really come to Beijing, you can't worry about it on the way.
"Queen Mother, why don't you eat, just watch your son do something."
The concubine smiled: "My son is the emperor, don't forget Chen Shou's merits, and be close to him." ”
Zhao Cai's face suddenly turned ugly, what he was most afraid of now was Chen Shou, and Chen Shou was the most angry.
He didn't want the queen mother to worry, so he took a bite with chopsticks and said while chewing: "My son knows." ”
