Chapter 618 Sudden Change
The changes that occurred during the autumn hunting in Shanglin Yuan were kept secret in the later Han history books, and there has been no more detailed record. As a result, there are many puzzling mysteries that have been confusing to subsequent researchers.
In fact, this can't blame Tai Shiling for being irresponsible, and sometimes, under the interference of the emperor's strong will, they can't do anything. What's more, the Shanglinyuan incident involves a lot of things, and many important figures of the dynasty are involved.
Even so, although I don't know the specific situation, it will not be long before the world will know that this trip to the forest garden on Zhongnan Mountain has undergone far-reaching changes.
It is impossible to keep it absolutely secret and concealed. Although future generations may not understand the situation, in the eyes of the witnesses at the time, they clearly knew the beginning and the end of the matter. However, they were all strictly ordered by the emperor not to divulge half a point, and those who violated the rules were killed and punished!
Emperor Liu Che, who gave the gag order, was shocked at that time. He never thought that Huo Quzhi, who he had always pinned his hopes on to cultivate into an absolute descendant force, would be his daughter!
When Yuan Zhao whispered the truth to him, Emperor Liu Che raised his eyes in surprise, and then carefully looked at Huo Quai, who had been holding his head high in the wind, and sure enough, he saw that it was different from the past.
After removing the armor, the young general is thin and straight, although it is still difficult to hide the edge between his eyebrows, but the special feminine elegance of the sideburns and eyebrows is obvious.
It is hard to imagine that this young woman, who is only eighteen or nineteen years old, is the genius general who is invincible in the field. The Emperor was stunned for a while, and finally confirmed that he had neither read nor heard wrong.
"Yuan Zhao...... This is the crime of deception, do you know?"
The emperor did not know how to express his emotions at this moment. He felt a little headache, and his heart was so restless that he didn't have time to think about it.
"Weichen knows, please ask Your Majesty to surrender."
Still with a calm look, neither panic nor repentance, Yuan Zhao respectfully carried out a detached attitude, which made the emperor's anger that had just been diluted revigorated.
"You are guilty! Of course guilty...... I will punish you severely this time! ā
yelled at him menacingly. Then Liu Che pointed his finger at Huo Quai, who was standing there stubbornly.
"Although you have made great achievements, you have taken the initiative to kill Hu Chenghou and despise my majesty...... I ask you again, are you willing to follow my arrangements in the future?"
The Emperor's words vaguely revealed another meaning. However, Huo Quzhi didn't seem to understand. She leaned closer to Yuan Zhao's side and replied resolutely.
"From now on, I am willing to hand over the general's seal and only follow the master."
There was silence all around. The emperor finally lost his patience, and he waved his hand coldly and commanded loudly.
"Prison Yuan Zhao...... Drive back to Chang'an! ā
His Majesty the Emperor was elated when he came, and he was indignant when he left. The mighty entourage quickly packed up, left the forest garden on Zhongnan Mountain, and returned to Chang'an. Soon after, the rain was pouring down, and the mountains and forests were covered by rain.
The bloodstains are diluted, which does not mean that the hatred is reduced, on the contrary, the upcoming battle in Chang'an City will be even more thrilling.
The crown prince Liu Ju returned to Bowangyuan with a heavy heart, and his subordinates also looked uneasy. Although some of them have always criticized the prince for relying too much on Yuan Zhao, they also understand that it is precisely because of Yuan Zhao's help that the prince has been able to get to where he is today. Once something happens to Yuan Zhao, regardless of whether it will involve the crown prince, without this help, the road to imperial power in the future will undoubtedly become much more difficult.
At this time, it was getting late, and the prince had no intention of eating, so he wandered indoors restlessly for a while, and finally did not come up with any good solution. When the lanterns came on, he only took his personal Park Yonglie to the Empress of Jianzhang Palace and told Empress Wei the news.
Empress Wei Zifu of the Han Dynasty has not been comfortable recently. Needless to say, the intrigue in the harem is exhausting. She's gotten used to it. Time is not forgiving, the original Fanghua peerless generation has finally been dyed with the traces of time, and among the three thousand beauties of the harem, the kindness of Emperor Liu Che gradually became cold, which was expected.
The queen of the Han Dynasty is the mother of the world and has the supreme honor. In the eyes of the world, the fortune of the Wei family is like a fire cooking oil and flowers. As the crown prince gets older, he is about to reach his peak.
But who can know that the unknown sadness and helplessness behind this is even more unspeakable. Especially recently, the queen has been worried about the matter of the little princess Yunxi, and her face has decreased. But he couldn't think of any way to get the emperor to retract his fate.
Fortunately, Princess Suxi can often come to the palace to persuade and comfort her and say some reassuring words, which alleviates a lot of anxiety. Prince and Yunxi...... She is not at ease, that is, only Su Xi is the one who best understands the situation of her mother.
After Princess Suxi came back with her sister yesterday, she stayed in her original residence in Jianzhang Palace, and did not leave the palace to return to the Marquis of Anguo's mansion. The news of Yuan Zhao's return to Chang'an, she naturally knew it for the first time. The reason why he stayed in the palace and didn't go back was because he was afraid that he would be embarrassed.
āā¦ā¦ Let him accompany Sister Lingzhi first. Now that we're back, we have a lot of time to spend together in the future, so why rush at this time? ā¦ā¦ć ā
When talking to the queen mother, although Princess Suxi, who has always been understanding, has a rosy and shy face, the harmony in her words is from the heart without the slightest fake.
The queen sighed and stroked her back, the doting on her face was no different from when she was a girl. Princess Suxi inherited her beauty, and at the same time inherited her wide and flexible personality. This is different from Yunxi's somewhat unruly. Sure enough, after hearing her sister's words, the little princess, who was sullen there, rolled her eyes.
"You are so good to Yuan Zhao, he may not appreciate it! According to his status, he should have gone back to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion first...... People are there to talk to me and me, but my sister hides in the palace by herself and is lonely. Hum! It's unfair for him to be kind to the other. ā
Princess Suxi's eyes widened in surprise, and she rubbed the top of her head a little funny, and said jokingly while deliberately messing up the waterfall-like hair.
"Where did you come from to understand this at such a young age? I ...... The girl's family also said it! Mother, you don't take care of her well. ā
Yunxi broke free from Sister A's "clutches", jumped away, and muttered dissatisfied.
"I hate messing with my hair! I have to comb for half a day...... Sister will bully people. Bless Yuanzhao, that guy bullies you every day after he returns home! ā
At her age, she actually doesn't know much about the love between men and women, and the meaning of the so-called "bullying" is just a shy haze in the girl's heart.
When Princess Suxi heard the news of Yuan Zhao's entry into Chang'an, her heart was already pounding, and she would blush when she thought of what was about to happen between the two of them soon. Hearing that Xiaomei actually made fun of this, she immediately reached over and grabbed her to punish her.
Yunxi hurriedly fled. The game between the two princesses is not strange, and the palace people have long been accustomed to it. The queen smiled and shook her head, and only at such times would her mood relax.
After the sisters had a fight, they inevitably got into trouble. Princess Suxi ordered someone to take the glass mirror and comb Yunxi's hair with a jade comb in hand.
It was at this time that the crown prince Liu Ju rushed over and told them about what happened in Shanglin Yuan. The whole palace was silent.
There was a crisp sound, and the glass mirror in his hand fell to the ground and shattered. Princess Suxi looked at the prince with a pale face and asked in a disbelieving tone.
"What do you say...... How is this possible! He fought for several months and made so many contributions to the country. How can my father be, how can he ...... That's it for him! ā
Not only her, but the queen and Yunxi and everyone in the palace all came over in shock. They all hoped that what the prince said was not true.
"Queen Mother, Sister, this matter is true! Moreover, his father was very angry because of Li Xuanji's death. I'm afraid he really wants to cure Brother Yuan'er's sins this time! ā
Hearing him say this, Su Xi finally couldn't help it, her cherry lips trembled, and there were tears in her eyes.
"Father, where did he lock Brother Yuan? Is it the Ting Wei Mansion Prison? IāI'm going to see him right away! ā
The crown prince Liu Ju shook his head. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, because he suddenly realized that there was something strange about the place where the emperor held Yuan Zhao.
"The father did not send him to the palace of the imperial court, but imprisoned him in a newly established place, which seems to be called the embroidered command post. The name is a bit strange, it is an institution that was formed by the will of the emperor himself, but I don't know what accusations to give them. ā
Empress Wei was secretly relieved when she heard that Yuan Zhao was not imprisoned in the Tingwei Mansion. Generally speaking, if a minister or general of the court is arrested in the palace of the court lieutenant, it is not a good thing! There are very few who can get out of it. Back then, even Xiao He, Zhou Bo and other figures were pardoned by the emperor, and they sighed. Not to mention ordinary people.
"Anyway, since Yuan Zhao didn't enter the Imperial Governor's Mansion, it means that there is still room for this matter to turn around. His Majesty probably didn't want to condemn him as a multiplicity of crimes...... Suxi, don't be in a hurry yet. When His Majesty returns to the palace and settles down, the Queen Mother will definitely go to see her in person and find a way to ask for clarification. ā
Empress Wei has experienced enough conspiracies over the years, although she is worried, she is not flustered. In her mind, the emperor handed over Yuan Zhao to the embroidery command post similar to Xi Fengwei to take care of it, and it might not be a serious problem.
However, most people, including Empress Wei, would never have thought about how much power the embroidered commander named Jiang Chong would have in the future!
