Chapter 282: Beizi
The queen mother's words made the emperor deeply touched, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had turned a blind eye to the queen all these years, but instead indulged the queen.
Just thinking about it, the queen personally came with a bowl of hot soup, which is said to have been made by herself: "Your Majesty, the weather has been cold for the past two days, drink something hot to warm your body, and save the infection of wind and cold." ”
"The queen has a heart." The emperor opened the food box and took a look, and found that it was the previous ginseng soup again, and he couldn't help but wonder if the queen had only learned such a dish for so many years, and just said that she made it herself every time, so what could be emphasized.
I thought so in my heart, but the emperor couldn't really say this to the queen, so he just reluctantly pulled up a smile, then looked at it a few times and said: "The queen has a heart, let's let my subordinates do this kind of work in the future, don't be too sad for me." ”
"What is the emperor's words, the concubine is the emperor's wife, so naturally the emperor is the first in everything, but it is just to make a bowl of ginseng soup, even ten bowls, and it should be." The emperor felt that the queen was not attentive enough, and the queen also thought of the emperor like this, every time she did something for him, she always said this, and even the tricks did not change, and the queen could also feel that the emperor was perfunctory to her.
"The queen is virtuous, and it is also my honor." As soon as the emperor said it casually, he began to look at the excerpts.
"Your Majesty, have you heard about the rumors in the palace recently, most of them are about Ying's promise, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" The emperor's attitude The empress didn't bother to deal with it, so she just cut to the point and asked.
As soon as the emperor heard the queen mention this matter, he remembered what the queen mother said last time, if these rumors were all spread by the queen, now ask himself why: "I have heard about it, but the things in this harem do not necessarily spread anything is true, the queen mentioned this matter, is it to rectify the harem atmosphere?"
“…… The concubine just saw that there was no wind and no waves, so she just mentioned it casually, and as for what the emperor mentioned, the concubine has also been doing it. The queen looked at the emperor's tone, and secretly sighed in her heart that even if the emperor lowered Hua Ying's position, she still kept it in mind, and now it seems that it is estimated that the reduction is a helpless behavior, and it is not the emperor's wish at all.
"You can't talk nonsense about no wind and no waves, the queen should know that sometimes, in this palace, rumors are a weapon, which is very hurtful." The emperor's eyes were even mixed with some indifference, which made the queen's heart a little cold, he was always like this, without exception, he favored others, and felt that what he said was wrong.
"The concubine lost her words, but the emperor, many sisters in the harem are also worried about this matter, one is concerned about the emperor's safety, and the other is to have their own peace of mind, after all, if there is always a person in this palace who wants to assassinate the emperor, the sisters' hearts must also be uncomfortable." The queen was clever enough to change a statement and turn it into someone else's mind.
The emperor looked at the empress, only to feel that the person in front of him was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and the previous dignified and generous seemed to be an illusion that could be broken with a poke: "So what?"
"So the concubine wants to ask the emperor, what is going to do with Ying Promise, whether to release her in a few days, or what? In the end, the concubine is also the sister that He Ying promised to be a sister for so many years, and now that she hasn't seen her for so long, she will inevitably miss it, and she still hopes that the emperor can forgive her. ”
"The queen could say such a thing, which I really didn't expect." The emperor knew that this was not her sincere words, but it was just to set his own words: "What Ying promised, I will naturally investigate it clearly, and then give everyone a fair and reasonable way to deal with it, so the queen doesn't have to worry too much, I feel that the queen's top priority now is to take care of the third elder brother, that is, to manage the mouths of everyone in the harem, I don't want to be at this time, the people in the harem are still talking about it, disturbing my hearing and hearing." ”
"The emperor said that the concubines understand, and the concubines will definitely perform the duties of the concubines, so that the emperor can devote himself wholeheartedly to government affairs." The queen finally asked again: "Your Majesty, you don't enter the harem much these days, the third elder brother misses the emperor a little, Your Majesty, do you want to go to Kunning Palace for dinner tonight?" ”
Speaking of his son, the emperor really softened his expression, and then hesitated for a moment before saying: "The queen has been taking care of the third elder brother hard these days, I should go over to take a look, but the government affairs have been a little busy in the past two days, and I can't go over today, I will definitely go over to see the third elder brother another day." ”
Just watch the third elder brother? A trace of loneliness flashed in the queen's eyes, but she couldn't see anything on the outside, she just responded: "It's a good thing that the emperor can think about the concubine and the third elder brother, the emperor pays more attention to his body, don't work too hard, the most important thing is the emperor's body." ”
"What I know is that sometimes, I have to deal with all the things in the world alone, and I am always too busy." The emperor just said this, but in fact, sometimes there are really not so many things, and he was shocked that if there was no Hua Ying in this harem, he wouldn't even know who to go to, and he felt that there was always something wrong.
The queen answered, and then withdrew.
After another two days, the emperor was a little shocked by the news brought by the secret guard, and then he didn't know what to say for a while, but he was still holding the small jade that Hua Ying brought to him, and now it seems that the emperor knows why Hua Ying gave this thing to himself directly.
"What a clever woman, I'm afraid she has already figured out the reason for the matter." That's why I gave myself a reminder in advance.
The secret guard on the opposite side didn't know what the emperor was talking about, and he didn't ask much, and the emperor continued: "Call Li Quan in." ”
"Yes."
On this day, the emperor issued a decree that caused an uproar in the front of the harem.
Concubine Jiang fainted directly after hearing the emperor's will, causing chaos in the entire palace, although Hua Ying didn't know what was going on, but listening to the chaotic voices of the discussion outside, she had already guessed what was going on.
After Concubine Jiang woke up from the collapse, she immediately got up as soon as she opened her eyes: "Feng Qi, is this palace a dream?"
“…… Niangniang, you didn't dream, the most important thing now is to find out the truth of the matter with the emperor, otherwise the eldest brother will really never have the power to return to heaven, cheer up. Feng Qi is barely calm now, but she didn't sleep all night last night, and she had to hurry to find Concubine Jiang who woke up early in the morning, as a palace maid, she was really a little powerless.
Concubine Jiang unconsciously left two lines of tears, and her face changed a lot: "...... Why, why do you say, Yin Tian must have been wronged, how could he do something that wanted to seek power and usurp the throne?"
"Niangniang, now the emperor said that the eldest brother did it, he just did it, and the evidence is conclusive, he has found some extremely arrogant things from the eldest brother's county palace, and the slave maid heard that there are some yellow coats, and there are dragons embroidered on them." Feng Qi hated the way of iron and steel, originally thought that the eldest brother had a long memory for so many years, but he didn't expect to be able to do such a rebellious thing.
Concubine Jiang's eyes were a little hollow, obviously she couldn't accept such a fact, although the emperor had personally admitted this matter, but in Concubine Jiang's heart, her own son was the best, how could she do such a thing, causing trouble to both their mother and son: "No!" The palace still has to go to the emperor! Feng Qi, you go with this palace, this palace must explain clearly to the emperor, Yin Tian is not the kind of child who is rebellious! ”
"Niangniang, didn't the emperor let you out of the palace recently? Don't disobey the emperor's will, if the emperor is really angry with you, you will probably be punished by the emperor, and at that time, the eldest brother will have no hope. ”
In fact, Feng Qi can see it clearly, and what she said is also reasonable, but Concubine Jiang can't listen to it at all now, she shook her head, glared and said, "Then what do you mean now!" Let this palace watch the eldest brother being demoted to Beizi, and then being sent to that bitter cold place?! ”
Feng Qi muttered in his heart that he was demoted from the king of the county to Beizi, not directly to the yellow belt, in the event of this kind of rebellion, the emperor can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, but unfortunately his own mother does not think so, but wants to let the emperor take back his will, which is impossible.
Concubine Jiang did not hesitate, she rushed out of Changxin Palace without even dressing her clothes, and now except for Feng Qi, there is no other palace maid and eunuch who is willing to follow her, and only Feng Qi sighed, feeling that her little life may be broken because of this, but she still followed behind Concubine Jiang.
Concubine Jiang came to the door of the imperial study and knelt down, Xiao Pingzi on the side felt that her knees were aching faintly, Concubine Jiang seemed to have lost her feelings, she only knew how to cry loudly, trying to bring a glimmer of hope to her son: "Your Majesty!" Please, be aware of this! Yin Tian was raised by you since childhood, how could he try to rebel! Emperor! Emperor! Please! Give him another chance! Have you forgotten that Yin Tian used to play on the emperor's knees when he was a child! ”
Concubine Jiang's every word can be clearly transmitted to the emperor's ears, the emperor is upset, this evidence is already there, Concubine Jiang really still doesn't believe that her son can do that kind of thing, in fact, the emperor's assassination really has nothing to do with the eldest brother, but this indirect relationship is indispensable.
It didn't take long for the emperor's secret guard to find out Yunshang's movements, and then he touched the vine, and it was not difficult to find out that the dead man in Burhaqi Mansion had an inextricable connection with Yunshang, and the reason why the dead man did not commit suicide was just because of Yunshang, a dead man with feelings, naturally he could not be considered a dead man, but his mouth was always tight, although he used up the torture, he didn't say a word about Yunshang, and finally after the emperor found out the truth, his body couldn't bear it and died in prison.
Although the emperor didn't know how Yunshang came up with this method to solve the eldest brother she hated in her heart, but the emperor found out by the way, the eldest brother and Concubine Jiang had thought about their position a long time ago, although the eldest brother was just a county king, but over the years, their mother and son have not colluded with the party, and even the eldest brother Hai secretly trained a team of people in private, although it was not yet a climate, but it also made the emperor shudder, and just took this opportunity to put the black pot of assassination and rebellion on the head of the eldest brother, It can be regarded as getting rid of a hidden danger.
As for why he didn't directly give the eldest brother to death, or to remove the yellow belt of the eldest brother and demote him to a commoner, it was probably for the last sentence that Concubine Jiang said, the former eldest brother played under his knees, and the current eldest brother wanted to kill himself anytime and anywhere.
