Chapter 322: Dead Again?
Although it is a big deal that an unidentified woman entered the Shengshang Sleeping Palace, in the same way, the situation of these concubines of the first emperor is also the focus of the Yanguan's concern.
Fortunately, the power of the speech officials is not very strong now. Otherwise, it is estimated that the status of the saint will be very dangerous.
Yan Wushuang hurriedly entered the palace to decide this matter.
Concubine Ying is now dead, which is indeed a bad thing for the saint, and these bad reputations, Yan Wushuang doesn't want the saint to be touched.
"This incident is an accident, but it also reminds me that the guards of the palace dungeon should be replaced, and this time it's just a matter of it, if you do it again, I'm afraid that something will really happen."
Although King Sheng looked a little displeased, he was not more angry about this matter, which made Yan Wushuang a little surprised.
"Father, you knew this was going to happen?"
King Sheng nodded lightly and explained the doubts to Shengshang and Yanwu.
"If my expectations are right, the person behind it must have been lurking for a long time, and the affairs of King Tang are inseparable from him, but at that time, King Tang had taken all the guilt, and I went to the imperial tomb overnight yesterday, and I didn't ask anything."
This is also the reason why today, King Sheng looks a little wrong, although the imperial tomb is not far from the capital, but a night back and forth, but also to ask some things, it is normal to not sleep all night.
The saint exclaimed in a low voice: "Uncle Huang, you actually went to the imperial tomb?"
"If I don't ask, I won't feel at ease, but when I asked, he didn't say anything, according to my understanding of my imperial brother, he may be afraid that the people behind him will attack the people of the Zejun Palace, so he would rather bear all this himself."
Although he stayed in the capital for a short time, King Sheng still knew more about King Tang.
Yan Wushuang rubbed his forehead gently, still unable to accept this matter. In the past, when I was in the palace, I would often see Ying Concubine, and Ying Concubine was a different one among all the concubines in the palace.
The appearance is delicate, but the more you look at it, the more you feel that there is a taste, the temperament is fresh, and the perennial light in the dormitory is the bamboo fragrance, not fighting or grabbing, not arrogant or impatient.
What kind of thing did she do to make her so willing?
"That's it, Lin'er, Uncle Huang, this matter must not be spread, so we have to think of a proper way."
"What do you think?" King Sheng raised his eyebrows, and the whole person was extremely arrogant.
Yan Wushuang was used to it, and said his well-thought-out opinion: "I remember that in the past, there was an ancient temple in the royal family, and in the mountains behind the Qinglong Temple, it was possible to claim to the outside world that Ying Concubine and her personal maid would be sent to the ancient temple to worship the Buddha."
"Worship the Buddha? Worshipping the Buddha for the royal family is indeed a good reason. What does the Holy One think? King Sheng naturally agreed, anyway, in this palace, there are not a few concubines who go to worship the Buddha.
Holy Lord: "Then so be it."
"Tomorrow afternoon, a carriage will go out from the palace gate and go to the ancient temple." As soon as King Sheng's voice fell, someone left, and this matter was resolved.
In addition to lamenting that Concubine Ying is too pity, in addition to being able to find enough evidence, other Yan Wushuang can't help.
At this time, the two letters were rushed to the palace by thousands of miles.
After the Holy Lord checked, the prime minister, King Sheng, King Side by Side, and even the Duke of Wei, who had retired, were all invited to the imperial study.
After the letter was delivered, the study fell silent.
"I don't know what you Aiqing think of this matter?" The saint was still young, but he also remembered that as described in the history books, the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus had crossed the sea through great hardships and came to Dayi to pay tribute.
However, in the later period of the first emperor, the civil strife in Dayi, coupled with the fact that he had just ascended the throne and his position was unstable, many subject countries also broke off relations.
Everyone thinks in their hearts that they can restore their former glory, and this time is also a great opportunity. Dayi is now strong, the Xiongnu and the barbarians have surrendered, and there is no need for too strong troops.
Wei Guogong was the first to break the silence: "The old minister feels that this matter still needs to send an envoy to go, and wait until everything is understood, and then decide whether to send troops or not." The Wakuni Kingdom and the Ryukyus are separated from the vast sea by Dayi, and if this is a calculation, I am afraid that we will not be able to guard against it at that time. ”
As a prime minister with a civil example, it is rare to be consistent with Wei Guogong: "What your lord said is reasonable, besides, it was the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus that cut off the tribute to Dayi first, although my Dayi is a gentleman's style, but it does not mean that I can repay grievances with virtue."
This time, one of the letters was from the king of Kawama explaining the situation to everyone, and the other was a distress letter from Ryukyu.
In fact, both the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus were founded on isolated islands in the ocean, and although such countries had a certain guarantee of security, they also faced the problem of lack of materials.
The Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus were rich in gold, timber and seafood, as well as other natural products.
used to be a subject country of Dayi, so naturally they exchanged materials with Dayi, but then they broke off contact, and I don't know how they got it.
However, now that the Ryukyus and the Wa Kingdom are about to fight, the Ryukyus are inferior to the Wa Kingdom, so they ask for help from Dayi to avoid the fate of being annexed.
Putting down the letter in his hand, Zhan Ge was wise and indifferent: "According to what King Hejian said in his letter, some of the sea bandits who invaded China's coastal areas in the past were Japanese and Ryukyu people, so I also do not approve of rash rescue."
Even King Sheng changed the image of the old man and sat straight: "This is indeed the truth, but if you don't save yourself when you see death, when the Wa Kingdom annexes the Ryukyus, it will inevitably have a certain impact on our country."
"Besides, we really need to have a very good image of the outside world, so that other countries can know that we are friendly."
This, too, is essential.
When there was a lot of controversy in the palace, Yan Wushuang was in the palace side by side, welcoming a special guest.
Want Rong Ge, Red Lady.
"Red shopkeeper ......" is not strange that Wushuang was a little shocked, after the brocade incident, the red lady sent her a letter has always sent someone to send, she came out of a fireworks willow lane, it is indeed inconvenient to often go back and forth in the palace side by side.
"Princess, if it weren't for the special circumstances, the people would not be willing to come to the mansion without permission." The red lady sat down after saying goodbye, but her face was extremely ugly, as if she had experienced something terrible.
Yan Wushuang felt bad in his heart: "What's the matter?"
"Brocade was found poisoned to death by the servants this morning, but the difference is very big, there are a lot of traces of struggle in her room, and the final appearance is also very miserable."
No matter what, it was also a young woman, even if before, the red shopkeeper really hated the brocade and brought so many things to Xiangrong Pavilion, but it didn't have to let her die.
Yan Wushuang stood up instantly, his face pale: "I just said that I suddenly forgot something, it turned out to be brocade."
After the incident in the palace, she should have sent someone to protect the brocade, but because she was more forgetful, she forgot about it, which caused today's incident.
was about to think about going to see it with the red lady, but Uncle Zhan stopped: "Madam, when the general comes back, the general will just go and see it, after all, it is not very lucky, you are not in good health, if you are frightened, it is the general who is distressed in the end."
Yan Wushuang's footsteps immediately stopped, there was nothing wrong with what he said, and he looked at the red shopkeeper apologetically: "Why don't you go back first, seal that room for the time being, don't let the idlers wait to go in, and when Ah Ge comes back, I'll let him pass."
The red shopkeeper is naturally willing, just now he was in a hurry and didn't figure it out, this is really if the princess fainted thinking about Rong Ge, I am afraid that the last trouble is still Xiang Rong Ge.
"The princess should pay attention to her body, but the people's daughter mishandled it. In this case, the folk girl went back to arrange it first, waiting for the general's arrival. ”
After the red lady left, Yan Wushuang, who returned to the front hall, felt that his body was weak, and he almost couldn't get up while sitting on the soft couch, and in just a few days, three people died.
The difference may be that Ying Concubine and Qing Yu are voluntary, and Brocade is forced.
The squeamishness of the brocade was scared like that when she was interrogated that day, it was impossible for her to die willingly.
This kind of Hongchen woman has only heard of a ...... who is desperate because of love Love?
Yan Wu sat up violently, and she suddenly thought that she seemed to know something, since Concubine Ying was able to die so willingly, she died with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Then you only like it, but she has been raised in the deep boudoir and has never had too much contact with the outside world, who will she like?
Yan Wushuang didn't understand after thinking about it, so he called Shuangshuang in.
"Concubine Ying? The slave maid had heard it in private before, and it was said that when she entered the palace draft, it was originally Ying Concubine Niangniang who made the marriage contract, but later she didn't know what was going on and became her sister. ”
"Then you mean that what has something to do with Ying Concubine is the current military department secretary?" Not to mention Shuangshuang's disapproval, Yan Wushuang also felt that it was very impossible, not to mention that everyone pays attention to grandchildren, besides, it is impossible to think about it.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and removed this unrealistic idea from his mind: "Don't mention this, you can inquire privately and see if there is any news?"
"Yes, the slave knows."
At this time, Yan Wushuang completely forgot, sometimes, impossible things will become more and more likely, just like when she and Zhan Ge were at the beginning, everyone said that she was not self-sufficient, who would have thought that when she divorced, Zhan Ge was willing.
It's just that the world is changing, and before there is a clear result, no matter how you make an estimate, it is not too much.
Outside the window, the drizzle floated up, and the air was also cloudy, and the mood of Yan Wushuang, just like this weather, became more and more gloomy.
