180. House arrest

By this time the temple was in chaos.

At the same time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty saw a cold light shooting out of the sleeve of the Queen Mother, passing through the chest of the county lord of Qingyang, and then suddenly turned back and fled through the window.

A burnt hole was left in the window paper. The body of the county lord of Qingyang...... Nothing remained, but the man fell.

The night was cold, and the eyes were cracked.

The female doctor in the palace was urgently summoned in, and she carefully inspected Ruan Qingzhi's body in the side hall, and did not find any sharp weapon wounds or burns.

But it also does not explain why an uninjured person would be unconscious for no reason. Chu Shen, the head of the Tai Hospital, was also helpless.

Someone tried to convince everyone that it was just a coincidence that the Qingyang County Lord fainted, and that cold light was really just a light.

But there is no way to explain why a beam of light can turn out of thin air.

The Queen Mother sat on the Taishi's chair, clapping her hand on the armrest and banging: "It's ridiculous!" Light doesn't turn out of thin air, does the blade do? It's good to go to court early, for a girl to make people turn their backs, what kind of system! ”

The panicked night cold was regained a little sobriety by these two questions.

He slowly turned his head and said in a dumb voice, "Since it's not a beam or a blade, let's ask the queen mother to explainβ€”what the hell is that?" Why did it run out of the sleeve of the queen mother? Why was he impartial and only hurt Qingzhi alone? ”

"What do you mean by that?" The Queen Mother was furious, "Do you suspect that the mourning family hurt that little slut?" ”

"Queen Mother, please pay attention to Feng Yi." Luan Zhongcheng said coldly.

Ye Han stood up in the corner of the couch, his expression seemed to be calm, but several little eunuchs next to him involuntarily took a step back at the same time, and their hearts were shocked.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother sneered mockingly: "Is the emperor confused?" The mourning family is the queen mother! Where can the mourning family use any tricks to kill that little slut, just call someone to kill with a cane! Now you just stare at the mourners because of that little slut who pretended to be dizzy for a while, but do you still remember your duty as a son of man? ”

Ye Han didn't respond to her questioning, and said coldly: "The queen mother admits that you want to kill her." ”

"I ......" The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "Yes, the mourning family wants to kill her, there is nothing that cannot be admitted!" What are you going to do with the mourning family? ”

Ye Han suddenly raised his head: "I don't want to do anything to the queen mother, but I want to ask the queen mother, what do you want to do with the world of Nanqi?" ”

At this time, the ministers came back to their senses, and there was also an uproar.

Is it true that the Queen Mother wants to harm the county lord of Qingyang?

The people of the Southern Qi Dynasty have been boiling for hundreds of years, and the court and the people have been looking forward to it, so it is easy to look forward to the birth of the phoenix, and look forward to the opportunity for the people to come to the country, but the queen mother wants to kill the phoenix, just because she "doesn't like it"?

Where is this trying to kill a little girl, this is clearly trying to destroy Nanqi!

The officials of the DPRK and China were almost angry. It's also a shame that this person is the queen mother, if it were an ordinary person, these courtiers could tear her apart with one hand!

To deal with the Queen Mother, we must use the method of dealing with the Queen Mother.

Luan Zhongcheng took the lead, and many officials knelt on the ground: "The Queen Mother is immoral, meddling in the government, bullying the new monarch, killing and injuring innocents, and wants to destroy my Southern Qi Wannian Guozuo, please Your Majesty!" ”

The Queen Mother froze.

Even if she is self-righteous, at this moment, when she sees the Manchu Dynasty civil and military crusading against her, she should realize that things are different from what she thinks.

So many old and young civil and military officials have to get along with her, just because she doesn't like that little girl?

even accused her of "immorality".

How could she have lost her morality? Why is it not immoral for that little girl to run away without marriage, and she is immoral if she comes forward to accuse two sentences?

The Queen Mother felt that she had encountered a strange injustice through the ages, which was enough for the snow to fly in June, the sky collapsed, the earth cracked, and the river flowed backwards.

However, the attitude of the Chinese military officials was very firm, but Ye Han's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.

The Queen Mother seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly pulled the corners of her lips to reveal a smile: "Han'er, this matter ...... You should understand that the mourning family doesn't like this girl, but they say that the mourning family bullies you, says that the mourning family interferes in government politics, and even says that the mourning family kills and injures innocents, which is simply nonsense! ”

Ye Han turned around, still looking at Ruan Qingzhi, who was lying unconscious on the soft couch, and sighed silently for a long time: "Queen Mother, if you can explain the ins and outs of Fang Cai's light, I am willing to kneel at the palace gate on behalf of the hundred officials and make amends to you." ”

The Queen Mother was suddenly dumbfounded.

How could she explain it? She never had anything in her sleeve, how could she know where that inexplicable light came from and where it went?

She wanted to say that Ruan Qingzhi's little slut had done too much evil and was punished by God, I don't know if anyone believes it?

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's heart moved, and she was overjoyed: "Yes, that's it!" It's damnation! Han'er, the mourning family knows that you are fascinated by this little slut, but you still have to think about it! For no reason, how can a ray of light kill someone? This is clearly providential! Presumably this little slut pretended to be a phoenix to deceive the world, and even God couldn't stand it anymore, so he specially sent down a divine light to take her life! ”

Ye Han sighed, still squatting down next to the soft couch, holding Ruan Qingzhi's hand: "God, you want to take her life?" ”

The Queen Mother was about to nod, but Ye Han suddenly turned around, stared at her and shouted: "Someone plotted for his own selfish plot to kill hundreds of thousands of people, why didn't God take his life?" There are people who interfere with the government and politics for their own selfishness and ignore thousands of people in the world, why doesn't God take her life? The county lord of Qingyang is benevolent and pure, and has saved countless people, why can't God get along with her? According to the queen mother, could it be that God is having trouble with all sentient beings? ”

The royal family has always said that "it is ordered by heaven to shepherd and guard all people", and the four words "heaven and earth are not benevolent" cannot be spoken.

If it's not providence, how can it be explained? The Queen Mother was speechless again, and her face gradually turned pale.

At this time, she could see clearly that the situation in this palace was not that the ministers were unable to get along with her, but that Ye Han instructed the ministers to get along with her.

Her son, though not her own and not her upbringing, wanted to kill her.

For a demonic little girl.

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more angry she became, and she stood up with her sleeves brushed up: "You are sure that the mourning family killed her, so are you planning to ask the mourning family to pay for her life?" The mourning family is the queen mother, she is just a small county lord with a foreign surname; Even if she passes the door, she is the daughter-in-law of the mourning family! The mourning family wants to kill her, and the national law and family law have no choice but to mourn the family, what can you do! ”

"Naturally, I can't do anything about the queen mother." Ye Han held Ruan Qingzhi's hand and did not look up: "My father is already in the sky, and as a son of man, I have no right to abolish the emperor's examination; For the sake of royal face, I can't issue an edict to make the mother's various crimes public. The queen mother is invincible when she does things. ”

The Queen Mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and her face returned to a bit of arrogance.

But he paused for a moment when he heard the cold of the night, and then said: "But the Manchu Dynasty has learned from the civil and military forces: the queen mother's heart is not right, and she covets the national weapon, and she is no longer worthy of being the mother of the world." From today onwards, I will replace all the palace attendants in the Kangning Palace, and I will ask the queen mother to live in the palace and no longer have to see outsiders. ”

House arrest!

The honor of the queen mother can be retained, and the charges do not have to be made public, but in the future, everyone in the palace will know that there is no queen mother in Nanqi.

A queen mother who can't see people in the palace will be easy to "die of illness" in the future.

The Queen Mother didn't expect Ye Han to be so ruthless, and she didn't expect that he would be afraid of the comments of hundreds of officials, and made a decision without even saying a few polite words.

"You can't do this to the mourners!" The Queen Mother was anxious, "The mourning family is the mother of a country and the lord of the six palaces......"

Ye Han bent down and picked up Ruan Qingzhi, and said coldly: "So that the queen mother can rest assured, there is still a happy event that has not been reported to you: a few days ago, the county lord of Qingyang sent a box of newly made pills to Shoukang Palace, and the palace people came to report early this morning that the queen mother's cough has been cured, and the phoenix is healthy, and she can regain control of the affairs of the six palaces." ”

The Queen Mother's face changed drastically, and she was even more frightened than when she first realized that the night cold was going to kill her.

Ye Han knew that she must have something to do with her being so frightened, but she didn't dig deeper, she just said coldly: "Therefore, although everything in the Sixth Palace is hard, the imperial grandmother is willing to work for a few more years, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry about it." ”

The Queen Mother staggered and muttered, "No, this is not right...... The mourning family is the queen mother...... The mourning family is the queen mother! The affairs of the Six Palaces have always been in charge of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother ...... She is an older generation, isn't it good to live with peace of mind! ”

No one is willing to answer this question.

Ye Han said "retreat from the court", the ministers knelt down, and the cold-faced Jinwuwei soldiers stepped forward and bowed down to invite: "Queen Mother, please go back to the palace." ”

I went back to the palace this time, and I don't know what year and month it will be when I come out next time.

Of course, the Queen Mother is the master of the harem, but if she is not greedy enough to stretch out her hand to the front of the court, it will simply be a desperate road for herself.

Today's early dynasty was chaotic from beginning to end, and nothing serious could be discussed, from the emperor to the ministers to the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace, everyone was very depressed.

The county lord of Qingyang was unconscious, and the reason was unknown.

This major event can almost be said to have collapsed for half the day for Nanqi.

Ye Han returned to the Yangju Palace, drove the palace maids and eunuchs and eunuchs out in a daze, and then hurriedly grabbed Ruan Qingzhi's hand: "We're back!" Qingzhi, there are no outsiders here, you can wake up! ”

Ruan Qingzhi's eyes were closed, and there was no response.

It's not a pretense of dizziness.

Ye Han sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, and suddenly felt that his heart was empty.

It's not pretending to be dizzy, it's not a trick to bring down the Queen Mother. That is to say, she really fainted for no reason, and the cold light that everyone saw before was indeed beyond the cognition of mortals, a terrifying existence for an inexplicable reason.

Is it damned?

Or is it the revenge of her "husband"?

Ye Han leaned forward to check Ruan Qingzhi's current situation, worried.

Unlike the last time he was in Yangcheng, Ruan Qingzhi seemed to be in no different state from a dead person, and Ruan Qingzhi at this time seemed to be nothing unusual: his breathing was steady, his pulse was calm, and he looked like he was just asleep, but he couldn't wake up anyway.

Asleep?!

Ye Han's heart is cold again.

By the way, her so-called "husband" doesn't actually need to take revenge too seriously, he only needs to let Ruan Qingzhi fall into a dream for a long time, which is already a very serious punishment.

The kind that's big enough to drive people crazy.

"Imperial Doctor," he turned and ran out, "Imperial Doctor!" ”

Chu Shen had been waiting outside, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly stepped forward to obey the order. Juan Lianyun and a few little eunuchs who often walked in front of him also rushed over.

Ye Han calmed down, and ordered in a deep voice: "From now on, the county lord of Qingyang is not allowed to leave people at any moment, trickle, carry the clouds, and then go to the court to call the companion moon back, the three of you take turns to guard, and then call the three female doctors to accompany you, and no mistakes are allowed!" ”

The two girls and the female doctor present hurriedly agreed, and Ye Han said to Chu Shen again: "Please also ask Lord Chu to work hard to be on duty in the Tai Hospital for a few days, just in case of accidents." ”

Chu Shen bowed in response, and said uneasily: "The county lord's illness is unknown, and the minister asks all colleagues in the hospital to work together to discuss countermeasures." ”

Ye Han thought for a moment and sighed, "Not for the time being. ”

If this "disease" can be cured, Doctor Chu should already have a way after seeing it. The reason why I am still helpless at this moment is, of course, because it is not a disease.

If it's not a disease, then it's not something that can be saved by the power of medicine stones.

Ye Han still had some hope in her heart, and always felt that maybe she would wake up the next moment, and when she saw him making trouble, she would inevitably laugh at him again.

Such hope supported Ye Han to calm down, and after arranging these things in an orderly manner, he returned to the imperial study with the eunuch Bingbi.

There are still many political affairs waiting for him in the DPRK and China. If he blindly delays the government in a panic, then he is infamous for Ruan Qingzhi.

Ye Han knew very well in his heart that the courtiers were willing to speak for Ruan Qingzhi today, just because she had the false name of "Phoenix Life" and had made contributions to Nanqi. Once they realized that she would become the emperor's weakness and affect the operation of the court, it was time for the courtiers' attitudes to change greatly.

He couldn't let that moment come.

It only took a short distance for Ye Han to completely adjust his state, and when he returned to the imperial study, he had already returned to his usual calm and calm image.

The senior officials of the third rank and above in the DPRK and China were waiting here, and everyone was relieved to see him like this.

The emperor values affection but does not indulge in love, this is the blessing of the world.

There were many political affairs, and the kings and ministers discussed until the afternoon.

Spring ploughing in various places, the grain and cattle that were exhausted due to the snowstorm in the north, the encirclement and suppression of the rebels of the Marquis of Yongning, the tea tax in Jiangnan, the main and deputy examinations of the imperial examination, the progress of the transfer of officials from all over the country, and the ceremony of moving the first emperor's Zigong into the imperial mausoleum...... It has to be arranged inside and out.

It's the first day.

Every day after that, Ye Han spent himself alone in a thousand political affairs, and Ruan Qingzhi never woke up.

On the fourth day, Ye Han couldn't help but summon all the imperial doctors into the palace to discuss countermeasures, and dozens of prescriptions were considered, and the needle stone had already been used, but it was still ineffective.

The night cold finally couldn't hold it anymore.

But he cannot be seen, because the ministers will only waver before him. When he could still say "she will be fine" with a flat face, there were already people in the court who couldn't bear it and wanted to help her find a woman with both talent and appearance.

Of course, taking into account his emotions, he didn't dare to say that he would re-elect the queen, but only that he would choose a concubine.

Ye Han couldn't help but lose his temper a lot.

No one is dead! Those stupid and selfish old things, do you think his queen won't survive?!

Ye Han's attitude is very firm, and his style of acting in the court is becoming more and more tough, and the ministers in the court dare not touch his edge for a while.

It was only when he returned to the Abode at night that he would be terrified, weeping secretly, and burning incense with candles and incense to try by all means to test the world he had never touched before.

Where is Yaotai? Where did the "husband" who did not leave a shadow in Ruan Qingzhi's heart come from? Why did the "Si Ming Shenjun", which had appeared frequently before, delay this time?

Ye Han was disturbed day and night by these unsolvable questions, and the whole person lost weight at a visible speed.

But the spirit seems to be better than before, like a sword full of blood, tired and sharp, with a sharp edge.

Time became extremely difficult, but in the end, it was still day by day.

The first emperor moved into the imperial mausoleum, and in addition to filial piety, the people gradually had feasts and marriages. The weather is getting hotter day by day, all things are growing and flourishing, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and life is getting happier and happier day by day.

The Marquis of Yongning was finally defeated and captured, and on the day he was escorted to Beijing, the people of the city rushed out to watch, and it was very lively.

The imperial examinations were arranged quickly and properly, and the palace examinations were completed by the end of May. There are many new faces added to the court, many of them are handsome, and even the young father he met in Yangcheng last year.

The paddy crop was harvested for one season, followed by the winter wheat harvest. The Ministry of Industry recruited people to dredge the canal, and a large amount of grain was transported to the north, and the whole world was jubilant, and all localities reported that there were almost no people starving to death in the territory.

When summer came, the weather was getting hotter, and there was a drought in some places, but fortunately it was not serious, and it was barely enough to dig more wells and canals. In the words of the people, compared with previous years, it can be regarded as a smooth weather.

Suffice it to say, it's all good news.

Ye Han hugged Ruan Qingzhi to sleep every day, and told her the big and small things in the court one by one, regardless of whether she could hear it or not.

She's a boisterous person, and maybe she'll wake up one day when she's got something that interests her, he thought.

But in July, there was another thing that made Ye Han feel very annoyed: the ministers of the court and the central government jointly wrote a letter, saying that the first emperor had passed the 100th day, and this year's annual situation was very good, and the court and the central government could hold a happy event and have a lively time.

Someone has even handed over the process of choosing a concubine, and every link is properly arranged, and it can be seen that he is really the pillar of the court.

Ye Han dang the hall threw the chapter, and then issued a decree to the Ministry of Rites:

Big wedding.

The time is set for August 15, mid-autumn.

Of course, the queen's candidate has not changed, and she is still the Qingyang county lord who has not woken up so far.

This decision, even Luan Zhongcheng, who has always firmly supported the county lord of Qingyang, felt that something was inappropriate.

There is only more than a month left, and it may not be impossible for the Ministry of Rites to step up, the question is: Will the county lord of Qingyang definitely wake up by then?

If you don't wake up, how will it end then? You can't be like those ridiculous marriages in the folk, find someone to replace the salute, right?

The imperial wedding ceremony is extremely cumbersome, but no one can replace it!
