Chapter Eighty-Seven: Verification of Identity
Liu Ji handed the note to Jia Mi, and he took it and read: "And ask for it with Concubine Xie, two times, don't hesitate, so as to cause trouble in the future." Ru Mao drank blood under Sanchen. ”
Sima Lun said: "Lu Guogong, I heard you read it as if the preface did not match the afterword, one of the sentences and asked for it with Concubine Xie, as if it was related to Concubine Xie, but the king didn't understand what the latter few sentences meant." ”
"yes, what is this meant to be said?" Sima Yue also felt strange.
Jia Mi said: "At first glance, it seems that only the first sentence says something, but in fact, after careful consideration, it is not difficult to find that this is the accomplice that the prince wrote to him, and he made an appointment to start an incident, which used some code words, in fact, there was a shocking conspiracy hidden, but it accidentally fell out when he was in the Furong Palace." ”
Sima said sincerely: "Lu Guogong, you can tell everyone the meaning of this note." ”
"Everyone, listen, and ask for it with Concubine Xie, which means that you want to conspire with Concubine Xie at the same time, and it means that within the agreed time, both sides of the North Palace and the South Palace will be solved, and I believe everyone understands the meaning of hesitation."
"Then what does the last sentence mean by Ru Mao drinking blood under Sanchen?." Sima Lun asked.
"To know the meaning of this sentence, first of all, we must know the meaning of Sanchen, the sun, moon and stars are Sanchen, painted in the banner, like the light of the sky, in the twelve coats of arms of my crown of the son of heaven, there is a pattern of the sun, moon and stars Sanchen, so in this sentence, Sanchen is a metaphor for the emperor, Ru Mao drinks blood means that the ancients did not know how to use fire to catch wild things and eat them alive, the prince means that he wants to eat the emperor alive with his accomplices like eating wild things! It can be seen that the crown prince wants to kill the king in order to ascend to the throne as soon as possible! ”
As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, if it was really the prince's intention, then it would not be enough for him to die a hundred times.
Sima Lun asked, "Lu Guogong, is this note also written by the prince?" ”
"According to Bengong, the handwriting of the two notes is the same person, and that is the prince!" Jia Mi will never let go.
He also ordered Liu Ji to take a note and show it to the ministers, but the ministers once again had nothing to say.
Zhang Hua said: "Your Majesty, there are still doubts about this matter, and it cannot be concluded that it was the crown prince's doing. ”
Jia Mi said: "Zhang Sikong, what's the doubt? ”
"First, the first note said that His Majesty should be self-serving, how could the prince call the emperor His Majesty, it was obviously written by someone who was tricked, and the second note said that he wanted to share it with Concubine Xie, and the suspicion was even heavier, the prince wanted to give someone a note, why should he call Concubine Xie, it was obviously someone else's tone, the emperor, the minister thought that this was not the prince's original intention, it should have been written by being deceived."
"He's going to die, will he still call me Father? Such a rebellious son without a king and a father, will he still have his own mother and concubine in his eyes? Zhang Sikong, don't speak for him anymore. ”
Jia Nanfeng whispered: "Your Majesty, you should make a decision immediately......"
Sima Zhen said: "I now announce the abolition of the position of Prince Sima Shu, and take the court captain to the East Palace to get people to go to the court prison!" ”
Gu Rong said: "The minister obeys the order." ”
In the East Palace, Sima Shu had just woken up, feeling still groggy, Wang Huifeng was feeding him, and at this moment, a eunuch came in and said: "Disaster is coming, the court captain is holding the festival and taking people!" ”
"Ah, who are you going to take?!" Wang Huifeng exclaimed.
While hesitating, Gu Rong took people into the bedroom, and Sima Shu got up and said, "...... Lord Gu come to the East Palace?" ”
Gu Rong said: "Your Highness, the queen mother sued you for rebellion and wanted to put you in prison." ”
"Rebellion? How can it be? Wang Huifeng argued.
Gu Rong told everything in the palace, Sima Shu sat on the ground when he heard it, and then he remembered that he did write something yesterday, but he couldn't remember a word of what he wrote, this must be Empress Jia who let herself drill in, such a vicious woman! But now it's too late to say anything, the handle is in the hands of Empress Jia, the only way is to go to the palace to defend in person, maybe there will be a glimmer of life.
Sima Shu said: "Master Gu, I won't embarrass you, but I have a request, can you take me to the palace to defend yourself." ”
Of course, Gu Rong understood that this was all Jia Nanfeng's plan, and he didn't want the prince to suffer unjustly, so he agreed to Sima Shu's request and took him to the Taiji Palace.
All the ministers watched Sima Shu enter the hall under the escort of the first soldier, and Jia Mi said loudly: "Lord Gu, the emperor asked you to put the prince in prison, why did you bring it to the palace!?" ”
"Lu Guogong, the emperor, and Weichen went to detain the prince, but the prince said that he had a complaint, and the minister did not dare to go to prison immediately, so he brought the prince to the palace and hoped that the emperor would forgive him." Gu Rongdao.
"Gu Aiqing is not guilty, let's hear what grievances does Shu'er have."
Sima Shu knelt down and said: "Father, the son was summoned by the queen yesterday into the South Palace, and met with the mother, and then when I went to the Furong Palace, I didn't let the queen and the emperor's brother, there was a maid named Chen Wu who gave me dates, I found that there was wine in it so I refused to eat it, but the queen's two close servants Xiaofu forced me to eat it, and then I felt that the world was spinning, and I couldn't help myself, I vaguely remembered that Pan Shilang drafted a note, and Chen Wu asked me to copy it, and I copied it in a drowsy mood. It's just that I don't know what words are written on it, and I can't imagine that two notes will become evidence of rebellion, which is really a great injustice. ”
Pan An was in the palace, and he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged, the minister has been at home since the dispersal of the dynasty yesterday, and he has not gone to the Nangong for half a step at all, and there is no way to write a note." ”
Jia Mi took it and said: "The prince said that Pan An was present, obviously it was made out of nothing, and the court officials did not call anyone to dare to go to Nangong!" ”
Jia Nanfeng also ignored the back curtain to listen to the government, came to Sima Xin's side, Sima Xin stood up and let Jia Nanfeng sit, how dare Jia Nanfeng sit alone in front of the minister, she pressed Sima Xin on the dragon chair again, and sat down next to him, Sima Zhen's fat body was deformed, but he didn't dare to say anything, he could only laugh stupidly, Jia Nanfeng said: "The mourning family summoned the prince yesterday, originally to let their brothers meet, but I didn't expect the prince to be arrogant and presumptuous in Nangong, so that he wanted to rebel, the mourning family was very sad, The prince defended that it was a note written by Pan Shilang yesterday, but the mourning family did not summon Pan Shilang, the prince said this purely to clear his name, and the servant girl that the prince said just now is called Chen Wu, Nangong does have this person, but she went home a few days ago, and she has not returned yet, and the mourning family really doesn't understand why the prince has to pull some irrelevant people out. ”
Sima Shu knew that Jia Nanfeng was deliberately framed, of course he would not admit everything, so he wanted to die together, he said angrily: "Demon queen, don't hide it anymore, you took the love of my heart, and deliberately sent Xiaofuzi by my side, in fact, you deliberately connived at me and instigated me, and then found an opportunity to abolish my position as the prince, but unfortunately I was really led by your nose, and almost embarked on a road of no return, fortunately, I lost my way and regained my strength, your plan failed, so I was annoyed and angry, deliberately summoned me into Nangong to get drunk, and framed me for doing something rebellious, hum! Demon queen, don't think I don't know about the good things you do, your little Fuzi is actually not a real eunuch, but your male pet, and his identity has long been discovered by my East Palace sect head Liu Kun! You keep saying that you want to abolish my crown prince, I think you have to abolish your throne in order to stabilize the world! ”
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, Xiaofuzi was a fake eunuch, this is unheard of, could this be true?
Jia Nanfeng didn't know Liu Ji's identity at all, so she laughed and said, "Hahahaha, Sima Shu, I think you're crazy, fake eunuch?" Male pets? It's pure fart! Xiaofuzi has been in the palace for so many years, and has been following the mourning family, if he is a fake eunuch, wouldn't the mourning family be the first lewd queen in the world, Sima Shu, if you slander the mourning family so much, aren't you afraid that the mourning family will kill you! ”
"Things have come to this point, I don't care about anything, you are the demon queen, the queen of lewdness! ……”
Sima Zhen couldn't sit still, son, aren't you cuckolding me! Said angrily: "Rebel! Dare to say that your mother, come here, take me down the prison and retire from the dynasty. ”
Sima Shu scolded while being taken to prison, and the ministers gradually dispersed, but many people were skeptical about Liu Ji's true identity and whether he was a fake eunuch.
Jia Nanfeng returned to Nangong angrily, Liu Ji and Liu Zhen stood on the side, Jia Nanfeng glanced at Liu Ji, and then looked at his whole body, Liu Ji said: "Niangniang, Sima Shu is really bold, dare to slander Niangniang like this, it is really looking for death!" ”
"Have you seen Liu Kun outside the palace? Sima Shu said, Liu Kun, what is the matter with knowing your identity? Jia Nanfeng asked.
"Niangniang, this is all made up by Sima Shuhu, in order to discredit Niangniang, the slave knows that Niangniang has been wronged today, in order to return Niangniang's innocence, the slave is willing to verify his identity in the main hall tomorrow!"
"Verify your identity? Xiaofuzi, in fact, you have been with me for more than ten years, where do you have a mole on your body, the mourning family knows, alas, in order to block the mouths of the courtiers, are you really willing to do this in the main hall? ”
"For the sake of the mother, what is this little thing, not to mention letting the slave take off his pants, it is the life of the slave, and the slave is by no means ambiguous!"
"Okay, it's hard for you to be loyal, tomorrow we will come to verify your identity, and then add a crime to Sima Shu, that is, slandering the queen, the mourning family wants to behead him, and then set up the ancestor as the prince!"
On the second day, on the Taiji Palace, Sima Zhen sat on the dragon chair and said: "Yesterday, the prince said that the queen raised a male pet, which is the eunuch Xiaofuzi next to him. ”
Jia Mi said: "Your Majesty, the prince talked nonsense yesterday in order to protect himself, which is not enough to believe, why do you have to verify your identity." ”
Sima Lun also said: "Your Majesty, there is no need for the ministers to see it." ”
Sima Zhen twisted his head, meaning to ask her if she really wanted to verify her body.
Jia Nanfeng told Sima Zhen that he must test it.
Sima said sincerely: "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter has to do with the queen's innocence, so let Xiaofuzi go to the palace to verify his identity in public now." ”
The civil and military forces were in an uproar, and there were many discussions.
Everyone watched Xiaofuzi come to the center of the hall, take off his clothes, take off his pants, and everyone looked at it, wow, it's really a eunuch.
Hey, isn't this Liu Ji, how did he become a real eunuch, it turned out that Liu Ji went out of the city last night and dropped his bag with the real Xiaofu, of course, there was no flaw.
Sima said sincerely: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is no objection now, Xiaofuzi is a male pet is simply made up by the prince, and it was fabricated out of thin air, in order to slander the queen, so the prince is a crime on top of a crime, abolish his position as prince, and be beheaded in three days!" ”
Zhang Hua and several old ministers expressed their objections, but how could Jia Nanfeng let go.
The news that the prince was going to be beheaded spread all over Luoyang City, and Liu Kun also knew about it for the first time, the incident happened suddenly, and he was at a loss for a while, at this time, he thought of Zu Ti, and said in his heart: "Big brother, big brother, come back quickly, I can't hold it here!" ”
