Chapter 425: Where Did the Prince Go?
In the evening, Jingpantuo's troops had all been hanged, and Liu Wen sent a large number of people to look for him, but he couldn't find the whereabouts of the crown prince Yang Zhao.
Now everything that should be searched has been searched, and the only thing that has not been searched is the palace.
But when the prince entered the palace, he couldn't go anywhere other than to see his mother.
Once the whereabouts of the crown prince Yang Zhao are found elsewhere, the impact of this incident will definitely be greater than Jing Pantuo's rebellion in Beijing.
At this moment, Empress Xiao had already learned about Xiao Mo from the palace maid Huanqiu, and hurriedly sent someone Yang Ke'er to summon Qingning Palace and asked, "You are on the gatehouse today, have you seen it clearly?" Is that person really Xiao Milling? Didn't you deliberately talk nonsense for revenge? ”
Yang Ke'er understood what Empress Xiao meant, and it was nothing more than forcing herself to admit that she was wrong.
She said: "How could I admit my mistake, and Xiao Mo has been killed by thieves at the city gate, after he was reined in, there are several former imperial histories, and he also led the officials who have met him to identify him, and they all say that it is indeed Xiao Miao!" ”
When Empress Xiao heard this, her face immediately turned pale.
Those who can be removed from the post of imperial history by Yang Guang and stay in Daxing as a loose official are all 'strong orders' who dare to say and do not give the emperor a son.
This group of people is sure that it is Xiao Miao, and next, they will definitely go to the chapter to admonish.
Empress Xiao understands very well that what the Xiao family will face next will definitely be a big storm.
At this moment, a palace maid hurriedly ran in and said incoherently: "Oh no, queen, I have found the prince." ”
Empress Xiao chuckled in her heart when she heard this.
"Where did you find it?"
"It was Mrs. Cui who found it, she went to Mrs. Hou to visit the door, and then found out the whereabouts of the prince......"
Empress Xiao's eyes were dark, and she almost fainted.
This Mrs. Cui is the concubine who was accepted after Yang Guang ascended the throne, and because she is the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, she was named Mrs.
According to the harem system of the Sui Dynasty, the highest is the queen, and the next is the third lady, which is equivalent to a concubine.
This Mrs. Cui is one of the three ladies, and so is Mrs. Hou.
The prince did not meet the queen when he entered the palace, but hid from the emperor's concubine.
Empress Xiao immediately realized that herself, Yang Zhao, and Mrs. Hou were all over now!
Although she is the queen, she is not alone in this huge harem.
It was useless to be caught before, so naturally no one dared to challenge the authority of his queen.
But now, I believe that it will not be long before the news will spread all over the city.
After a while, Empress Xiao slowly turned around, gritted her teeth and instructed the female officials beside her: "Pass my decree, imprison that beast in the prison of the Inner Servant Province, and wait for the emperor's fate!" ”
The female officer answered, and left.
Yang Keer has been watching coldly and has not said a word on this matter.
After Liu Wen stabilized the situation, he did not participate in the affairs of the palace, but found an excuse to lead the troops to investigate from house to house, interrogating and looking for the remnants of the anti-thief party.
It's a big project, and it can't be done in a day or two.
Two days later, all kinds of news in Beijing were rushed to Luoyang by 800 miles, Yang Guang watched a few twists and turns of the former imperial history, and then looked at a few secret protections, and his face was purple.
The three Zhang sisters he used to reward Liu Wen with were just a plaything for Yang Guang, and they were of the same nature as singers and dancers, and it didn't hurt to reward them to courtiers.
But Mrs. Hou is different, she is one of the real three ladies, and she can be regarded as Yang Guang's side wife.
Although Yang Guang had also thought about bringing a green hat to his father before, it was just an attempt, and Yang Jian was paralyzed at that time, so it was impossible to have anything to do with Princess Xuanhua, and Princess Xuanhua did not use her official title at that time.
But this time.
This crown prince Yang Zhao, who has always been known for his wisdom and even known as a gentleman, actually put a green hat on Yang Guang's head.
There was a relative Xiao Milling hidden at home, and he went to the palace to mess with the concubine. Lun, Yang Guang suddenly found that he didn't know much about this son.
At the same time, there is a creepy feeling.
If it weren't for the sudden rebellion of thieves in the old capital this time, exposing all this matter to the surface, what would have happened next?
Yang Guang couldn't help but think of his father Yang Jian, and the situation after he was completely controlled by himself, which made him shiver, and under the influence of great disappointment, anger and fear, the father-son relationship with Yang Zhao was also completely severed in Yang Guang's heart.
After calming down, Yang Guang made a will to send a group of soldiers and horses to pick up the prince Yang Zhao to Luoyang to recuperate.
Everyone understands that the so-called recuperation is just a fig leaf for this incident, and the 'illness' of the crown prince Yang Zhao will definitely get worse and worse, and in the end he can only set up another prince.
After a few days, Yang Zhao was sent to Luoyang, and along with him, there was also Xiao Miao's head. As for Empress Xiao's Luan, because Yang Guang didn't need to mention it, he hasn't been able to start so far.
This kind of indifferent attitude made Empress Xiao feel like she was roasted on the fire.
That night, Yang Guang came to the place where Yang Zhao was under house arrest.
Seeing his father, Yang Zhao knelt down with shame on his face, buried his face on the ground, and didn't dare to say a word.
If it was before, Yang Guang might have softened a little when he saw his pitiful appearance, but now, his heart was full of anger and resentment, seeing Yang Zhao like this, he only thought that he was performing, thinking that he was deceiving himself in a last effort.
"You are so filial!" Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said: "I entrusted you with the responsibility of staying in the old capital, did you do so?" You are really conscientious enough......" Yang Guang said here, and roared hysterically: "You even took care of your mother!" ”
Yang Zhao shuddered with fright, and said in a voice full of grievances: "Father, this is all her partnering with Xiao Mo to calculate her sons, and her sons have a handle in their hands, don't dare to disobey!" ”
When Yang Guang heard this, he immediately remembered that this Mrs. Hou was indeed sent to the palace by the Xiao family, and it seemed that she still had some relatives. For the sake of the queen, and at the same time, in order to balance the power of the harem, she was named a wife.
Otherwise, there are many beauties in the palace, how could it be his turn to be a concubine?
This Xiao family, after the destruction of the Southern Liang, established the Hou Liang, and after the Hou Liang was destroyed, they intervened in their own harem and secretly controlled the prince, it seems that their ambition to rule the world has not been extinguished!
Thinking of this, Yang Guang did not live up to his trust in Empress Xiao.
He glanced at Yang Zhao, didn't need to say a word, turned around and left.
The next day, Yang Guang suddenly issued an order: because of the lack of palace women in Ziwei Palace, the officials of each county and county were ordered to select embroidered girls to enrich the harem.
This decree suddenly set off a lot of waves in the court, and the civil and military officials were thinking: Is it that the queen has lost her holy family, so the emperor is ready to abolish the queen?
Although he felt that this matter was inappropriate, he must have been in a bad mood when he thought that Yang Guang had just been given a green hat by his own son, so even the most upright imperial historian did not dare to advise at this time.
