Chapter 1604: Mingzhi
"The ministers don't dare, and the ministers only implore the emperor to think twice before retracting the minister's order!" said that they didn't dare, but what they said was basically Bi Yinzhen, which made Yinzhen angry and annoyed, and his face became more and more ugly.
Zhang Tingyu saw that the atmosphere in the hall was becoming more and more deadlocked, as if a string was breaking tightly and would break at any time, and nervously thought about how to alleviate it. In fact, he is not in favor of abolishing the queen, after all, it is really a bit reluctant to abolish the queen just by the words of a servant girl, even if what the queen said before is very suspicious, there is a witness to this matter, but there is no physical evidence, the most difficult thing is that the person is still humble, and the words he said have little weight. But he couldn't say these words clearly in front of Yinzhen, so he chose to be silent and wait and see.
Just as Zhang Tingyu thought about the words that both sides should not be offended, and was about to speak, Tu Lichen spoke again: "Your Majesty, the old minister begs you to take back your fate, don't continue to make mistakes." ”
"It's wrong to scrap it, it's right to do it if it's not scrapped, Tu Lichen, if you say it, then it seems that I'm going to be wrong all the way." Yinzhen has never been a threatened emperor, and the scene in front of him has obviously aroused his annoyance.
Tu Lichen was shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "The queen is not wrong, the emperor, you must not abolish the queen, Concubine Xi has no virtue, and she is ...... at all."
"Shut up!" Yin Zhen suddenly got up, pointed at Tu Lichen and said word by word: "Now it is the queen who has done the wrong thing, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Xi, don't blame her for the matter!" ”
Tu Lichen said excitedly: "If it weren't for Concubine Xi's fox to bewitch the lord, how could the emperor ......?"
Without waiting for him to continue, Yin Zhen shouted: "Didn't I tell you to shut up and didn't you hear it?" I said that it has nothing to do with Concubine Xi, if you talk nonsense again, you don't have to wear it back again! ”
Tu Lichen was stunned, looked down at the one-eyed flowery crown, his gray beard couldn't help shaking, and said for a long time: "Since the old minister took off this top and didn't plan to wear it back, the old minister was ordered by the first emperor to assist the emperor with Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu, and Long Keduo to help the emperor achieve a thousand years of success." Now Ma Qi is sick in bed, Long Ke has committed many crimes, only the old minister and Zhang Tingyu can speak, Zhang Tingyu does not dare to persuade the emperor, if the old minister does not dare to persuade again, no one will pull the emperor back from the edge of the cliff, so even if the emperor wants the life of the old minister, the old minister must persuade the emperor to take back the minister's order, because this is the matter that the emperor handed over to the old minister! ”
Yin Zhen's eyes flashed with anger, "Tu Lichen, you don't always have to use the first emperor to suppress me, let alone think that I don't dare to take your life!" The queen is jealous of Cheng Xing, and she is not worthy of being the queen, it is an iron-clad fact, even if you say that the tongue blooms lotus, it is useless! ”
Tu Lichen said sharply: "It's not so much that the queen is not worthy of being the queen, but that the emperor doesn't want to see her as the queen!" But with all due respect, the most unworthy person is Concubine Xi! ”
"Good! Good! Good! Yin Zhen said three good words in a row, bent down and sat down slowly, stared at Tu Lichen and said: "No matter what you say, in short, today, the queen is gone!" ”
Seeing that Yinzhen refused to listen to persuasion, Tu Lichen said anxiously: "The emperor thinks twice!" ”
After him, it was the voice of many officials, but Yinzhen didn't even blink his eyes, and said straightforwardly: "I have thought very clearly, the queen is immoral, and it is no longer suitable to be the mother of the world, so I will immediately abolish the queen's position, confine in the cold palace, and be sent to Kunning Palace immediately after retiring from the dynasty." Let's retreat. ”
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Yinzhen got up and wanted to leave, Tu Lichen was so anxious that he hit the vermilion column next to him, with a heavy "bang", Tu Lichen hit his head full of blood, and everyone was shocked, including Yinzhen who was already preparing to leave, no one thought that this old man's temperament would be so strong, and he even did not hesitate to persuade him to die.
Blood slid down Tulichen's forehead and dripped on the mirror-smooth gold bricks, and the blood flowed over his old cheeks, making his face look extremely terrifying, and time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everyone remained as they had just been, neither moving nor speaking.
Tu Lichen, who was covered in blood, did not faint immediately, he endured the severe pain and dizziness and tried to say a sentence that had been repeated countless times, "Please take it ...... The last word of the ...... was so faint that he could barely hear it, and he also fell to the ground heavily, and at the same time that the blood crawled all over his face at an extraordinarily terrifying speed, Yinzhen also came back to his senses and said sharply: "Quick, quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Also, hurry up and help people to the side hall! ”
His words woke everyone up, and hurriedly followed his words, Zhou Minghua hurried over, and after treating Tu Lichen's wounds and treating them, Yinzhen said eagerly: "What, can you worry about your life?" ”
"The emperor can rest assured, Lord Tu Lichen is old, this collision seems scary, but after all, he is old and frail, the wound is not very deep, and he will not worry about his life, just recuperate, Wei Chen will prescribe a few pairs of medicines to Lord Tu Lichen, and recuperate with the medicine for trauma, I believe it will be fine soon."
His words made Yinzhen let go of his heart hanging in the air, nodded, and then did not wait for him to order Zhou Minghua to retreat, and the officials who came to the side hall knelt down again, and this time there were more people kneeling than just now, and they begged Yinzhen to take back his life.
Yin Zhen did not refute it as fiercely as he did just now, and it was obvious that Tu Lichen had a lot to do with his death and Mingzhi's actions. But even this did not satisfy the officials, who repeated the same words over and over again, and had the tendency of not getting up until the goal was achieved.
At this time, Yingge stepped forward on his knees, climbed in front of Yinzhen and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the queen mother and you have been married for more than 30 years, and even gave birth to Prince Duan for you, even if you don't miss the love between husband and wife with Niangniang, you should also remember Prince Duan who died early." The minister implored the emperor not to abolish the queen for the time being until the truth was ascertained, maybe the queen was innocent. ”
Yingge's words made Yinzhen a little trance-like, Honghui ...... Every time I think of this son who died early, I feel indescribable guilt and pity in my heart, this child has always been precocious, if he can live until now, he should be as good as Hongli.
Zhang Tingyu knew that he couldn't be silent at this time, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, what Lord Yingge said is quite reasonable, Ping'er pointed out that the queen mother framed Xi Guifei, there are still many doubts, and the evidence is insufficient, it is better to wait for everything to be found out before making a decision." If it is confirmed that the queen did it, the ministers believe that the ministers will not intercede for her again. ”
