Chapter 18: The Death of Taifu

Sima Shu returned to the palace and was called to the Taiji Palace, the emperor and queen in the palace were there, Sima Shu quickly understood, he was out of the palace for many days and did not return, Jia Nanfeng wanted to take advantage of this incident to beat him, as for the emperor, his father Sima Zhen only listened to Jia Nanfeng's words, and no one could say a word or two for him. Therefore, Sima Shu lowered his posture and showed sincere fear at Jia Nanfeng's pretextive play, repeatedly admitting his mistakes and repeatedly asking for guilt.

Jia Nanfeng was obviously very satisfied with her majesty, she didn't care if Sima Shu went out to play, what she cared about was who he hung out with, so after Sima Shu "knew his mistake", she immediately threw out her greater dissatisfaction: "I heard that you went out with the Hanguang Township Marquis this time?" As the crown prince, you are not allowed to make friends with the ministers of the court, especially this Hanguang countryman is still a military general and a Huns, what do you want? ”

Sima Shu's scalp was numb, he didn't think much about it before he traveled, but Yang Zhi's words made him more vigilant about Jia Nanfeng, and when he saw Liu Yuan's mighty team, he felt that he might have committed some taboo of the queen, this Jia Nanfeng was extremely suspicious, and he placed eyeliner everywhere around him, and she knew her own itinerary well, so during the hunt, he never had contact with Liu Yuan alone, and he was also sharp, only riding a horse with Yang Xianrong, talking, at most after dark, because of the relationship between Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao, It's just a child's trick, and there's nothing suspicious about it.

"Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen hunting is just invited by a friend to play, even so, Erchen has not done anything out of the ordinary, please be aware of it." Sima Shu knelt on the ground and said word by word, he was not weak in his heart, and he was not afraid of any gossip.

"Friends?" Jia Nanfeng sneered: "The prince grew up in this Taiji Hall since he was a child, and now he has made a lot of friends outside the palace. Sima Shu didn't say anything, and Jia Nanfeng continued: "It doesn't matter what you do, but you are the prince in the end, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't provoke criticism." ”

"Yes......" Sima Shu was unconvinced, but said obediently.

"Prince, ......" Sima Zhen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth: "You read more books and stay in the East Palace more." Sima Zhen said and suddenly laughed: "Your queen mother loves you and wants to choose a concubine for you, I don't know that you are also at the age of marriage." ”

The matter of choosing a concubine was faintly heard before Sima Shu left the palace, he didn't believe that Jia Nanfeng could have any good intentions, so he didn't take this matter to heart, at this time this matter was suddenly said like this, Sima Shu raised his head suspiciously, only to see Sima Zhen smiling a little bit of father's love, and the corners of Jia Nanfeng's mouth also turned upward, but he couldn't see what she had in mind.

"Although you are not Lone's biological son, but you are the only bloodline of His Majesty, this matter of choosing a concubine, Lone as a concubine has to worry about you," Jia Nanfeng did not allow Sima Shu to refuse, and said directly: "You have been out of the palace for a few days, it is time to go back to the East Palace to calm down." ”

Sima Shu didn't know what medicine was sold in Jia Nanfeng's gourd, so he could only retreat in a hurry. As soon as he returned to the East Palace, he was pulled into the house by Xie An, who had been accompanying him. Xie An first looked at the left and right people, and then closed the doors and windows of the room, and then whispered to Sima Shu, who didn't know why: "The King of Chu is going back to Beijing." ”

Sima Shu was a little surprised, he was familiar with this fifth uncle, Sima Yan liked this son very much, and often talked about his uncle's skills in Sima Shu's ear, so Sima Shu had a good impression of this uncle, and even had some reverence. It's just that he doesn't remember the appearance of this uncle very much, because when he was young, this fifth uncle had already gone to the fiefdom, and before Emperor Wu died, he asked him to supervise the military of Jingzhou, and he was in power, how could he suddenly return to the dynasty at this time?

"It was said that the King of Chu himself asked to return to the court, and His Majesty approved it." Xie An said: "Now the DPRK and China know the news, but we are in Xishan, and the news is a little blocked. ”

"The king of Chu returned to the dynasty at this time, I am afraid that there is another reason." Sima Shu thought for a moment, slapped his thigh, exclaimed, "Oh no", and walked out with his leg raised.

"Your Highness," Xie An hurriedly followed: "Where are you going?" ”

"Renjuden." Sima Shu said as he walked: "The king of Chu suddenly returned to the court, things must be unusual, I will go and ask the queen mother." ”

Sima Shu and Xie An walked out one after the other, but they were stopped at the gate, and they were stopped by a team of forbidden troops, but not the defenders of the East Palace.

Sima Shu returned to his dormitory, sat down on the couch slumped, and lamented in a low voice: "Something is going to happen." ”

Two days later, Sima Wei led his troops into Beijing. Meng Guan and Li Zhao immediately played the emperor and framed Yang Jun for rebellion, and at that time, Jia Nanfeng was accompanying the monarch, and even let Sima Cheng plan to depose Yang Jun as the prince at night, keep the marquis's edict, and order martial law inside and outside the palace. Sima Wei guarded the palace, wiped out all the cronies arranged by Yang Jun, and ordered people to lead troops in the palace to guard it, and then he led a team of soldiers and horses to the outer gate of the palace Sima Gate to garrison in case Yang Jun made any moves, and at the same time, Ma Miao of Dong'an Company led a team of soldiers and horses to Yang's mansion to arrest Yang Jun.

Yang Jun was widely known in the palace, and he naturally knew such a big movement in the palace, so he immediately convened the staff to discuss countermeasures, and some staff members said that this must be done by Empress Jia, and it should be unfavorable to Yang Jun, and suggested that Yang Jun lead his troops into the palace, burn the Yunlong Gate to create chaos, and take advantage of the chaos to arrest Jiahou, and at the same time send people to lead the soldiers and horses of the East Palace and the soldiers and horses of the outer battalion to support the prince into the palace and kill the traitors to deter the palace.

Yang Jun listened to the advice of his staff, frowned deeply, pondered for a long time, and then spit out a sentence: "This Cloud Dragon Gate was built by Emperor Wei Ming, and it was burned with fire, which is too pity." ”

As soon as everyone heard that at the moment of life and death, Yang Jun was so hesitant, and they knew that this person's momentum had gone, and they were deeply afraid that Empress Jia's men and horses would implicate themselves, so they scattered as birds and beasts. Not long after the crowd dispersed, Sima Miao arrived with the army in the palace, first set fire to the Yang Mansion, and then the crossbowmen went up to the attic and fired arrows into the mansion, causing the Yang Mansion soldiers to be unable to resist.

Yang Jun panicked, knowing that the glory of this life was over, he just wanted to save his life, he panicked and hid in the stable, but he couldn't escape the eyes of the soldiers who were killing in his mansion, and was soon stabbed to death in the stable.

Yang Jun was successfully killed, and Jia Nanfeng finally let out a bad breath. As soon as the morning dawned, she immediately saw Li Zhao and Meng Guan, Yang Jun was dead, but the grass was cut to the roots. She ordered Meng Guan to arrest all the people related to the Yang family, raze the three clans, and leave none behind, and ordered Li Zhao to burn all the letters and documents in Yang Jun's family, so as not to let the world know that he had been appointed as an auxiliary minister by Emperor Wu of Jin.

Yang Jun was dead, and the rest of the matter was handled very smoothly, and soon, the three brothers of the Yang family and their families were all ambushed, but Yang Jun's body was still left in the stable, and no one dared to collect his body for him, until a few days later, a Taifu Sheren buried him hastily.

"Congratulations to the queen mother, from now on you will have peace of mind." Dong Meng smiled and beat Jia Nanfeng's leg.

"It's just that there are still eyesores in this palace." Jia Nanfeng closed his eyes: "She occupies the name of the Queen Mother, and Lone will be a generation shorter than her, and Lone does not like to succumb to others." ”

When Dong Meng heard this, he smiled and took out a silk towel from his arms, handed it to Jia Nanfeng, and said, "The King of Chu sent this in today, I think the mother will like it." ”

Jia Nanfeng unfolded the scarf, only to see a few words written on it: Those who save the Taifu will be rewarded. She looked at Dong Meng suspiciously. Dong Meng immediately laughed so much that his eyebrows and eyes shrank, and said: "This was sent by the King of Chu, and the person in Renshou Hall shot it out with a bow and arrow in a hurry, but was picked up by the people of the King of Chu." ”

Jia Nanfeng looked the silk towel left and right, frowned, and said, "How can you be sure that it was the Queen Mother?" ”

"Mother, is this not up to you?" Dong Meng said with a grin.

Jia Nanfeng immediately understood, she smiled and handed the handkerchief back to Dong Meng, and said, "It's me who is pedantic." ”

Jia Nanfeng usually didn't want to see Yang Zhi, but this time was different, she couldn't wait to see her down-and-out appearance, and she came to Renshou Hall with a smile that she couldn't hide.

In the main hall of Renshou Palace, Yang Zhi was dressed in white, unadorned with beads, sitting on the throne in the middle with her eyes closed, and she didn't open her eyes when she heard someone coming in, she knew who the person was and what the person was doing.

Jia Nanfeng sneered, made a look, and two people came out of his side, pulling Yang Zhi off the throne. Jia Nanfeng nodded, walked forward quickly and sat down, and said, "I said, I don't like to be subservient. ”

"The mourning family is the first emperor and empress......" Yang Zhi said word by word.

"Gu Nai should be the queen of the dynasty," Jia Nanfeng interrupted Yang Zhi and said in a higher voice: "If you want to blame your father, you can only blame your father for not having long eyes, and blame yourself for not understanding current affairs." Sooner or later, the Yang family will fall into my hands, you know this in your heart, you can't persuade your father, who is to blame? ”

"Blame me," Yang Zhi shed two lines of tears: "When the first emperor left, he ordered me to press you with the respect of the queen mother, looking at you, I was weak, and I finally failed the trust of the first emperor." ”

"It's really beautiful, take the first emperor to press me?" Jia Nanfeng sneered twice: "Is it also the meaning of the first emperor that your Yang family is in charge of the government alone?" Jia Nanfeng stared at Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi at this time had already broken his will, the reason why he still maintained his demeanor was to retain the last dignity, in Jia Nanfeng's heart, the loser is not worthy of dignity, she continued: "Your father hid in the stable, and when he died, his body was covered with horse manure, and the stench was stinking, but when he died, no one collected his body, so he basked in the sun for a few days, crawling with insects, eating his flesh and devouring his bones......"

"Jia Nanfeng, if you do a lot of evil, you will be punished by heaven." Yang Zhi finally lost her demeanor and pointed at Jia Nanfeng's nose and scolded. From the time she knew that her father was stabbed to death, she was grief-stricken, and in the following days, the news from the outside was constantly put in, her family was executed, and her father's violent corpse was out for many days, all of which gnawed her heart, and when she knew these news, Jia Nanfeng deliberately let her know to defeat her, she didn't want to let the evil girl get her wish, but after all, she couldn't resist the hatred in her heart.

"Your mother is still alive," Jia Nanfeng opened Yang Zhi's hand, came to her eyes, stared at her and said, "Do you want to see her?" ”

Yang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but hide her face and cry.
