Chapter 239: The Undercurrent is surging
late at night
Lanzhou Qingcheng Palace
Although Chongzheng entered the dormitory early and lay down on the royal collapse, the thoughts in his mind still kept him awake for a long time.
Two days ago, when Xu Liang came to him alone to report that Wang San wanted to plot against him, Chongzheng didn't believe it very much, thinking that he was chasing the wind and catching shadows, after all, this Wang San is also an old man in the palace, and he is also dedicated to serving himself, and he is Xu Liang's own apprentice, how can he intend to kill the king?
But Xu Liang slammed his head on the ground a few times, biting Wang San's crime to death again and again, and made Wang San's plan and time clear.
Chongzheng saw that what he said also had a nose and eyes, so he promised him that then let's wait and see, if this is the case, you must be a brave escort, if what you say is false, I must know that you are guilty of slander and falsehood.
Xu Liang naturally agreed, so the master and servant made a small game, and Chongzheng also pretended to know nothing.
Until last night, the stolen goods were ......
In fact, Chongzheng is so angry, not because of Wang San, even if he serves well, he is still a subordinate, if he is guilty of killing with a knife,
And what made Chongzheng really angry was because he knew that this Wang San would never be alone and planned to poison the emperor, there must be someone behind the scenes.
No matter how big or small the murder of the monarch is, it has never been a trivial matter, and it must be inextricably linked, so Chongzheng didn't sleep well in the past two nights, and he didn't know who wanted to harm him.
Although he also understands in his heart that this Great Xia Dynasty has not regained the glory of Taizong and Ruizong under his rule, but he has always been a self-proclaimed benevolent and righteous king, and he can't talk about being strict with himself, and he must be lenient with others.
Chongzheng originally planned to wait for Xu Liang to ask what was going on, and wipe out all these rebellious ministers and thieves, so that he could sleep peacefully, but when Xu Liang presented the confession of Wang Sanhua, he almost didn't get angry.
"This ...... It was all the thief's work? ”
When Chongzheng pinched the confession paper with bloody handprints, his hands were trembling, and he asked Xu Liang in an unbelievable tone,
Xu Liang, who was standing aside, hurriedly slammed his head on the ground, "If you go back to the emperor, Wang San is my apprentice, so I know his weakness best. Well, he also said, he also said......"
"What else is he saying?" Chongzheng angrily smashed the collapse with his hands and shook,
"The thief also said that it was the concubine Niangniang who wrote to him today, asking him to do this."
Xu Liang spoke, and took out the letter from his arms that he had shown to Wang San before, and presented it to Chongzheng with both hands.
Chongzheng snatched the letter away, he can still recognize the words of these people in the palace clearly, the short lines of words in the letter of the concubine Niangniang are like a sharp short knife, one by one inserted into his heart,
"Poisonous woman! This femme fatale-hearted poisonous woman! ”
The angry Chongzheng coughed violently, and his face was flushed.
Xu Liang, who was kneeling below, hurriedly bowed down and slipped to the bed, served Chongzheng the warm tea that had been prepared on the bedside table, and kept stroking his back with his hands, muttering worriedly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, you must pay attention to the dragon body!" ”
Chongzheng took a big sip of warm tea siphon, and the hot and expectorant tea patch suddenly refreshed his chest a lot, but the fire in his lungs was not something that a cup of tea could extinguish, he had a gloomy face and asked Xu Liang behind him in a deep voice: "Does King De know about this matter?" ”
Xu Liang heard this as if he was shocked by the nine days of thunder, and with a shocked expression, he quickly knelt back in front of Chongzheng, and knelt on the ground with trembling hands.
"Minister...... The minister didn't dare to speak. ”
The more he said this, the more heavy the haze on Chongzheng's face became, and the wide dragon robe waved towards Xu Liang, "But it doesn't hurt to say it, I forgive you for your innocence!" ”
"Wang San...... Wang San confessed in person, and the beginning and end of the matter at this time was planned by His Royal Highness King De and the concubine Niangniang, he said that he also saw the housekeeper of the palace, and the housekeeper was assigned by the King of Germany to come to Lanzhou. It is said that after the matter is completed, the king who is supported by the emperor's edict and the jade seal will ascend the throne. ”
As he spoke, he also took out a dark yellow jade pendant from his arms, and the hollow jade pendant was clearly engraved with a vigorous and powerful word "De".
"After Wang San confessed, when I asked the soldiers to go to the place he said to arrest the housekeeper of the palace, the building was already empty, but I found such jade pendants in the residence."
After Xu Liang presented the jade pendant to Chongzheng, he knelt back in front of him, and bowed his head deeper.
Chongzheng rubbed this dark yellow hollow jade pendant, and the word "De" on it can still be remembered that when Xun'er was born, he personally mentioned the word, so that the appearance of the office was carved.
For a long time, the people of the Dewang Mansion felt extremely honored that the jade pendant hanging on their body was written by the saint himself, but no one thought that one day, the word "De" would make Chongzheng feel so dazzling.
This son, who was still thinking about how to pave the way for his ascension to the throne some time ago, is now actually going to join forces with his mother to put himself to death, can he not wait so much?
Chongzheng slowly closed his somewhat cloudy eyes, which had been mottled by time, and a helpless and desperate sense of loneliness came over him, as if he remembered what his father said to him when he was dying:
The emperor is destined to be lonely all his life.
"The Governor and Uncle Jing Yuan, the two of them...... Can you get involved? ”
Chongzheng's voice was very low when he asked this, if Xu Liang, who was kneeling below, didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't even hear what he said,
Or that Chongzheng just hopes that Xu Liang can't hear it, or how much he wants to hear Xu Liang give him a negative answer,
However, Xu Liang failed to let him get his wish after all.
It's just that Xu Liang's confession to Chongzheng didn't mention Sun Dezhang and An Yi, so he replied to Chongzheng very smartly: "Your Majesty, Wang San, he refuses to say it." ”
"Got it......"
Chongzheng nodded slowly, took a deep breath, and then raised the jade pendant in his hand high, and fell heavily to the ground.
That piece of hollow jade Peirao is the best texture, but it can't withstand the impact of Chongzheng's great strength, and after it crumbles on the marble floor, it falls apart with Chongzheng's unquenched anger.
"Passing on my will, the imperial concubine Sun has misconduct, improper mental skills, and women's behavior, so she stripped the imperial concubine of her uniform and banned Yikun Palace. King Gao Cixun, who violated the law, did not follow the precepts, arbitrarily took the state funds, and entangled the party to form associations, immediately ceased to supervise the country, and was replaced by the head of the cabinet, and the king himself reflected and repented in the palace. ”
After Chongzheng finished speaking, he leaned back on the bed as if he was deflated, and then waved his hand towards Xu Liang,
"Go down, I'm tired."
But Xu Liang still bowed unsatisfactorily and said: "Your Majesty, you have a will for the Metropolitan Governor and Uncle Jingyuan......
"I'll let you go down!"
Before Xu Liang finished speaking, Chongzheng's strong and majestic voice seemed to be stunned and fell down, and he didn't dare to breathe more when he was pressed, so he quickly bowed twice, bowed down and wanted to withdraw from the hall.
But just when he thought that the matter had come to an end, and retreated to the door and was about to turn around, Chongzheng unexpectedly spoke again: "Sun Dezhang, Anyi, no longer hold all positions in the army, by ...... Liu Biao, the mighty general of Lanzhou, replaced him. ”
"Yes, Minister's Order."
Xu Liang responded, and then gently closed the door of the hall from the outside, and the body that was groveling just now slowly straightened up.
As he wished, Chongzheng was a derogatory rebuke to Sun Guifei, King De, the Metropolitan Governor, and even Jingyuan Bo Anyi, but Xu Liang's face was the same as the northwest sky, and he couldn't see any color, but there was a gray-black haze.
Because what he didn't expect was that Chongzheng did not change his original intention for such a rebellious crime of deceitful king.
Why?
Xu Liang, who has served the emperor for many years, knows that it is not the first time that Chongzheng has such a big temper, but it is indeed the first time that such a disappointment is overflowing, he really thinks that Chongzheng will beat King De and his party to the end, but in the end it is a thunderous and rainy ending.
The holy will sounds deterrent enough, it is also misconduct, and it is illegal training, but what about the most important rebellion and usurpation? Not a word,
And even if these seem to be a bunch of crimes, they are just two grounded, and the other two can't even be counted as derogatory at all, Sun is still the imperial concubine who does not wear concubine clothes and lives in the palace of the concubine, Gao Cixun is still the king of virtue who is no longer in charge of the country, what about Sun Dezhang and Anyi?
A prince Taibao, a Jingyuan uncle, did not move at all, and the only military power was handed over to Liu Biao, who had nothing to do with several princes.
So Xu Liang has a taste, Chongzheng, the heir in his heart is still King Gao Cixun, and there has been no change because of this incident.
Xu Liang was even sure that the other princes didn't even enter Chongzheng's choice at all.
"Father-in-law, Father-in-law Sun is waiting for you in North Lane."
Xu Liang had just walked out of the Chengxing Palace with his hands behind his back, when he was stopped by a man in a night suit.
"Got it, I'll go over here."
"The third king in that prison ......."
"Kill him."
"Yes!"

Han Lin
When An Yi received the letter from Chongzheng Shengzhi and Liu Siyi, basically the peace talks in his hand were nearing the end, he used a prescription for the treatment of hidden epidemic diseases to block Xiao Yan'er's "blood basin mouth" for the New Year's offering, and with another prescription that can cure ordinary patients, Xiao Yan'er stopped her plan to ask for food.
However, Xiao Yan'er can't be fooled and deceived at will, because An Yi said that according to the different physiques of the Han and Khitan people, the existing prescriptions must be blended, and medicinal materials must be transferred from Wang Jingli, etc., so she gave An Yi a two-month period, and within two months, the prescription will be used to convert the principal and interest of the grain owed by Daxia.
An Yi didn't think anything of it, according to the current progress of the hospital, two months must be enough, and when the prescription is in hand, if you talk about any interest matters, it will be easier to talk about it, so I will agree to it.
The matter of the peace talks has come to an end, and Anyi has not ceded the land, the second has not paid compensation, and the third has not paid the annual offering, which can be said to be a true mission, which is quite perfect.
It's just that what should give him a headache now is the assassination of Chongzheng.
There is no doubt that the most aggrieved thing in this matter is comfort, he was beaten into the party of King De alive, and he was still dumb and couldn't speak, so he could only hand over the military power with him.
However, like Xu Liang, he keenly saw the unusual taste from the Chongzheng Holy Decree.
King De, it seems that he has a very important position in Chongzheng's heart, which is equivalent to Chongzheng giving the whole world a signal that the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty will inevitably fall in the Dewang Mansion.
In this way, the courtiers in the court are bound to flock to it, and I am afraid that many courtiers who wavered and even stood with King Yong before will now have to reconsider their positions.
Chongzheng, are you really confused?
An Yi felt that he was not confused at all, it was obviously a rebellion against King De, and he was forced to take advantage of Chongzheng's situation to become a mobilization order to pull the banner for his second son.
It's just that this thing really makes An Yi a little unbelievable, from ancient times to the present, as the most taboo thing for the emperor, Chongzheng actually didn't show even any due attitude, a few boards are all hollow, and there is no blood just by hearing the sound,
Is he really a rare loving father in the imperial family?
An Yi couldn't think of anything for a while, he lifted the pen on the table, filled it with ink, and wrote two letters, one of which was sent to Jiang Ruyue in Chengdu,
The other was written to Liu Biao, who now holds the real power of the army in Lanzhou!
