Chapter 67: Loyal Servant
Wang Shouyi didn't know what happened next, he only saw his sister Queen Wang sitting on the ground after the emperor left.
Li Longji left angrily and returned to Hanyuan Palace, read a few letters and was furious, and ordered the three prime ministers to enter the palace. After the three prime ministers entered the palace, they saw that the emperor's face was extremely bad, Zhang Shuo, Yuan Qianyao, and Chen Jiachong stood in front of the emperor, and they didn't dare to say a word.
Three concerts, two letters and one good news.
General Liangzhou sent a good news: "Deputy General Wang Shouzhen led 3,000 soldiers and horses to defeat more than 10,000 rebels, kill 1,325 rebels, and capture 4,500 people..."
Pei Yang of Jingzhao Mansion played: "Since the beginning of winter, only thirty-five stones of grain have been transported from Luoyang into Chang'an City. The Guanzhong area suffered a locust plague in the tenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and it was feared that there would be a shortage of food in Chang'an City. β
Xiao Song, the squire of the military department, played: "Since the abolition of the government soldiers, the officers have been seriously overstaffed, and a large number of soldiers have been stranded in Beijing. The soldiers recruited by the conscription system are half from the government soldiers. If the problem of stranded soldiers cannot be properly resolved, chaos may arise. β
Li Longji asked: "Regarding the grain problem in Guanzhong, do you have a good plan?" β
Zhang Shuo took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has thought about the food issue. The Guanzhong region was hit by a locust plague, and grain production was reduced. There are two ways to solve it: First. Elect a transshipment envoy and use Cao Yun to transport grain from outside Guanzhong to Guanzhong. When the Cao Yun was unimpeded, the grain transported to Guanzhong reached 4 million stones, and now it is only a few tens of stones a year, and the gap is very large. Second, encourage farming. The Guanzhong Plain is fertile for thousands of miles, and rice cultivation requires a large amount of water for irrigation, but wheat is not. It is recommended to plant a large amount of wheat and a small amount of rice in the Guanzhong area. During the reign of Weichen, Pei Yang had to consider the candidate for the transfer envoy. β
"Pei Yang? Jingzhao Mansion Yin? β
Zhang said: "Pei Yang used to serve as the head of the household and is familiar with Caoyun. β
Li Longji's face softened slightly.
"Regarding the issue of Xiao Song's government soldiers, what do you think of Zhongshu Ling?"
Zhang Shuo replied: "There is no good plan for the ministers to think hard about this matter, when the government military system, these officials already existed, and after the change to the conscription system, the generals were mostly out of this. β
"Edict: The queen and queen are disgusted in the harem, and from now on, the queen will be abolished and demoted to a concubine, and the palace will be moved. Wang Shouyi sneaked to the left, removed from his official position, and temporarily imprisoned him in the prison. Pei Yang was appointed as the envoy of Cao Operation, Yuan Xingchong of Dali Temple was appointed as Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, Guo Li was appointed as Secretary of Dali Temple, and Wang Shouzhen was promoted to General of Ganzhou. β
After the edict, the three prime ministers were shocked.
Prime Minister Zhang knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the abolition of the queen is a major event of the imperial court, and it must not be." Helplessly, Li Longji had already decided to leave.
β¦β¦
Wang Shouyi thought back to everything for more than 20 years, and this time I am afraid that his wife Princess Jingyang will be affected. According to Jingyang's temper, he had to go to the palace to make a fuss. In case Li Longji relented, even his sister would probably be ruthless. Wang Shouyi hoped that his wife would be able to stay at home honestly.
Are you willing? died in the dark prison like this, and ended this life tragically.
As for whether Princess Jingyang will remarry someone else after death, Wang Shouyi doesn't care. Although Wang Shouyi believes in Buddhism, he has always been suspicious of Buddhism's reincarnation. If there are really any gods and Buddhas in the world, why are they so indifferent to such grievances?
After eating two bites of food, thinking about the happy times of this life, Wang Shou smiled. It is a blessing to be born in the Wang family, and the current situation is that the sooner you die, the better, otherwise the Wang family will be involved in the building. Thinking of this, Wang Shou picked up the wine jug and drank it all, and bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and fell to the ground.
The eunuch left, and returned to the palace to reply to the decree: Wang Shouyi, pawn.
β¦β¦
Ting Palace.
And the king and queen sat on the ground with their hair disheveled. The winter cold has not gone, and the ground is extremely cold, how can it compare to the sadness in the heart of Queen Wang. Who is to blame? The younger brother Wang Shouyi is also for the good of his sister, and the little monk who invited him did find out the root of the problem. originally thought that from now on, she would be pregnant with a dragon seed and regain Li Longji's favor, but she didn't expect that she would make a mistake after being discovered by the emperor.
Recalling that year, when Li Longji was still a vassal king, he went to the Wang's house to ask for relatives, passed three levels, and wrote a poem and an article. Time is so fast, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. The first few years of marriage were always apprehensive. Empress Wei controlled the dynasty, staring at the Li family's dragon son and grandson, Li Longji was undoubtedly the most eye-catching among them. After Empress Wei was destroyed, Princess Taiping was powerful. As the crown prince, Li Longji was terrified day and night, and later Li Longji took the lead in launching a coup d'Γ©tat and taking down Princess Taiping. Unexpectedly, his stomach was not angry, and he never gave birth to a child for the emperor. If it's not that the queen's position is in jeopardy, why bother to look at the root cause?
At the end of the day, it's fate.
"Niangniang, the slave maid heard rumors from the palace maids outside, and the palace maids under Concubine Wu Hui had peeked around the Lizheng Hall that day. There are also rumors that it was the emperor who was notified by Concubine Wu Hui. β
Since Empress Wang was deposed and relegated to the Yeting Palace, Liu Cui followed her master to the Yeting Palace.
"What else do you say, Niangniang, now she has become a concubine. Liu Cui, go out of the palace, you have been with me for so many years, find a good home to marry. β
Queen Wang has no mind to pay attention to who is behind the ghost, and it is better to live than die in such a situation at the moment.
Liu Cui cried: "If the slave doesn't leave, Niangniang will always be Liu Cui's mother, even if she is not Niangniang, she is also the eldest lady of the Wang family." Mother, your life is so miserable. β
Liu Cui cried like this, and Queen Wang couldn't help but feel sad.
That year, the flowers bloomed and competed, and the strangers were like jade.
At that time, Li Longji was not the emperor, he was not as rich as he is now, handsome and chic. Today's emperor is no longer the Li Longji of the past, his status has changed, everything has changed. Poor Jiang Jiao died in vain, in order to keep this position, he did not hesitate to deliberately leak it out, so that the emperor did not dare to openly abolish the queen, and in the end he still couldn't change the emperor's mind.
There is no warm pavilion in the palace, only the cold words of the palace steward and the assigned work. All the living Liu Cui took the initiative to do it, not letting the former queen move a finger. The emperor is too ruthless, even if the queen has a big mistake, she can't be punished in the palace. What is the Ting Palace? It is the place where the slaves are imprisoned, and it is the pickled place of the Teaching Department and the Huanyi Bureau. The Queen's body is not in this place. As the saying goes, a husband and wife are a hundred days a day, and the emperor is too ruthless.
It was too cold in the palace, and it didn't take long for the queen to catch the cold. Liu Cui cried and shouted to find the imperial doctor, but no one passed on the word and no one took care of it. A messenger girl who was demoted to the queen of the concubine, who wants to listen to what she says? The queen was sick, and stayed in the cold house, withering like a winter flower.
