Chapter 106: Usurpation (2)
If you don't do anything, Wang Jien simply opened the killing ring; He did not use knives and guns, but imitated the kind of chicken neck that Ma Weiyi Gaolishi killed Yang Guifei; It is to strangle a man alive by the neck with his hands.
Wang Jien became a eunuch in the Later Zhou Dynasty because of his poor family background, and after his grandfather ascended the throne, he reused Wang Jien to calm the world after he saddled the horse; So that he can learn a good martial arts, and it is not a piece of cake for a chicken neck alone.
After Wang Jien entered the back kitchen, he didn't ask 3721 to strangle Zhang Lun to death first, the second was Hu Dong, and the third was Ma Tian.
After Wang Jien strangled Zhang Lun and the others, he found that Wang Qian was not among them, so he asked Lan Cai where he and he went.
Lan Caihe said that Wang Qian might have gone to Xuan Xuan just now, but Wang Jien rushed to Xuan Xuan to see if there was no trace; Knowing that Wang Qian must have found something and escaped, he asked Lan Caihe to immediately go to Wang Zhong to convey his order to find Wang Qian to kill.
Wang Zhong and Wang Qian are both Wang Jien's cronies, and Wang Qian suddenly disappeared; When Wang Jien Teng was not born, he could only send Wang Zhong to slaughter the knife on his behalf, leaving no room for survival.
Lan Caihe was ordered to go, but when he saw the bodies of Zhang Lun and the three lying on the ground, he asked Wang Jien: "What about the three corpses?" ”
Wang Jien frowned and said, "I know that there is an abandoned dry well in the backyard, throw it in there!" ”
Wang Jien raised his arm as he spoke: "Lady, go and inform Wang Zhong, the matter here will be dealt with later!" ”
Lan Caihe went, and Wang Jien put the bodies of Zhang Lun and the others in a sack; It was transported to the backyard in three times and thrown into a dry well.
The heavy snow still didn't stop, which helped Wang Jien; All the footprints he left on the ground were covered.
Wang Jien returned to the Funing Hall to sort out his emotions, and then beckoned a few eunuchs and forbidden guards to go to the palace of Empress Song, the wife of the great grandfather.
Zhao Kuangyin has had 3 wives who have been named queens, namely Empress Xiaohuihe, Empress Xiaoming, and Empress Xiaozhang Song.
Empress He is the first wife of Zhao Kuangyin, and has 3 sons and 2 daughters; They are Zhao Dexiu, King of Teng, Zhao Dezhao, King of Yanyi, Zhao Delin, King of Shu, the eldest princess of Wei, and the eldest princess of Lu.
After the death of Empress Xiaohuihe, Zhao Kuangyin was the inspection school in front of the palace; Married the 17-year-old Wang as the stepfamily, and Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor and named Wang the queen.
Wang is outstanding, dignified and virtuous, honest and kind, has a wide range of hobbies, and is good at playing the zither and drums.
Although the Wang family was born in a famous family, he did not have the arrogance of ordinary powerful and wealthy ladies; Even if you are a queen, she still often wears wide clothes and does not put on a prestige; And often from the imperial kitchen to handle the meals.
Wang's devout belief in Buddhism, every morning, must first burn incense and chant sutras, and then go to the Empress Dowager Du's palace to greet and wait, won the empress dowager's favor.
Song Taizu was very kind to Queen Wang, and Wang was born with a weak physique; He died in 963 at the age of 22.
Empress Xiaozhang Song is the eldest daughter of Song Wei, the general of the Left Guard and the envoy of the Loyal Army, and her biological mother is Princess Yongning of the Later Han Dynasty. Born into a noble family, the Song family has been in and out of the court since childhood, so he has seen a lot of things.
After the death of the queen of Xiaoming, the middle palace was vacant, and in February of the first year of Kaibao (968 AD), the Song family was included in the palace as the queen, when she was seventeen years old.
Song Taizu was twenty-five years older than Empress Song, and even his eldest son, Zhao Dezhao, was one year older than Empress Song; However, the husband and wife get along very well.
Queen Song has a soft and courteous temperament, and whenever Taizu retreats from the dynasty, she often has a crown and a curtain to receive it, and she has a royal meal, which shows that husband and wife respect each other like guests.
After the Song Dynasty, there was no outcome, and among Taizu's only two remaining sons, Dezhao and Defang, it seems that he preferred the younger son Defang.
Wang Jien took the eunuch and the guards of the forbidden army to the palace of the Empress of Song, bowed to the queen, and said: "Grandpa Tai drank with His Royal Highness the King of Jin in the Funing Hall at night, and he kept snoring after being drunk; The little ones are afraid that something will happen and dare not slack off, so they come to report to their mothers while it is snowing; Please also invite the mother to come to the Funing Palace! ”
Empress Song knew that Wang Jien was the confidant of the great grandfather and the eunuch would not lie, so she asked her subordinates to prepare a sedan chair and hurried to the Funing Palace.
As soon as Empress Song and her entourage entered the gate of Funing Palace, they heard the snoring sound of the grandfather like thunder; Panicked, he entered the dormitory and sat on the bed, holding the hand of the grandfather tightly with one hand.
It's really strange that Queen Song didn't have the kung fu to hold her grandfather's hand in her own hand and not produce a bag of cigarettes; Grandpa's snoring stopped, and his hands and feet became cold.
Queen Song cried loudly, cried a few times and said to Wang Jien: "Princess, go and summon Defang into the palace!" The emperor has died! ”
Queen Song is worthy of everyone's beauty, and she did not panic at the critical moment, but wanted to let Zhao Defang, the ancestral hall of her grandfather, ascend the throne; But where did he think that Wang Jien had already taken refuge in Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, all of this was acting for her.
Of course, Wang Jien would not call Zhao Defang according to Queen Song's decree, but went directly to the Jin Palace.
Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, accompanied by Gongyong, Shanwang, Wuzhi and Xia, returned to the Jin Palace, and not long after he sat down, he saw Wang Jien enter the palace to report; said that the emperor died.
Wang Jien's acting words were naturally addressed to Gong Yong, Shanwang, Wuzhi, and Xia.
After listening to Wang Jien's report, the four of them couldn't believe their ears, and Zhao Guangyi immediately showed a look of surprise, grabbed Wang Jien's hand and said, "What did you say, stepson?" Where did the emperor die? Didn't you drink with this king in the Funing Hall an hour ago! ”
Wang Jien knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, an hour ago, the Holy Lord was drinking with His Royal Highness the King of Jin in the Funing Palace; But after he drank high, he snored like thunder, and the boy called Queen Song; Empress Song sat on the saint and followed him, and he went west! ”
Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, cried "Brother Huang", looked at Cheng Dexuan on the side and said: "Imperial Doctor Cheng will quickly follow King Gu into the palace to check the cause of death of the saint, and no one can take advantage of the loophole!" ”
Zhao Guangyi's performance was seamless, and the four people who stood on the side and listened, Gong Yong, Shanwang, Wu Zhi, and Xia were stunned when they heard it.
Zhao Guangyi glanced around, and said to the housekeeper in the house: "Quickly prepare a few sedan chairs, King Gu and Imperial Doctor Cheng, the prince will enter the palace immediately!" ”
Queen Song couldn't help but be surprised when she saw King Jin suddenly arrive; was extremely disappointed and resentful of Wang Jien, and wanted to go crazy.
But thinking that the matter was irretrievable, he said to Zhao Guangyi embarrassedly: "The official family is here." ”
This "official" shows that she has recognized the situation and tacitly acquiesced in Zhao Guangyi as the new monarch.
Empress Song said to Zhao Guangyi again: "The future fate of the slave family and the emperor is entrusted to the official family!" ”
Of course, Zhao Guangyi wanted to continue to perform this scene, and said to Queen Song with tears: "We will protect wealth and glory together in the future, and the imperial sister-in-law does not have to worry!" ”
After Zhao Guangyi said this, he asked Cheng Dexuan and several imperial doctors accompanying him to investigate the scene.
Cheng Dexuan understood King Jin's intentions and immediately tested the body of the great grandfather; The conclusion was made: Grandpa Tai's drunkenness caused cardiac arrest and there was no trace of death from poisoning.
Queen Song listened to the snoring of her grandfather and saw him go west, so she didn't doubt it.
Zhao Guangyi's plan to seize the heir, poison him, and usurp the throne was completed in one go, but Sima Guang, who opposed Wang Anshi's change of law in the Shenzong Dynasty, thought that Wang Jien had comprehended the meaning of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin; Summoning the King of Jin into the palace to take the throne......
