Chapter 8: The Son and the Lover
The weak Liu Ying occasionally has times when she is tough. When he heard about his mother's special relationship with him, he was ashamed and resentful. It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be handled in a low-key manner, find an excuse to send the judge to the fiefdom, and if you are really angry, you will find a killer to do it while it is dark, in short, you have to get by on face. Liu Ying couldn't think of this, he directly ordered the Tingwei Mansion to arrest the trial and kill him after the trial.
The prefect of the Imperial Governor's Mansion was dumbfounded. There is no way to try this matter, it involves the face of the royal family and the face of the queen mother. Besides, the weight of the trial in Empress Lu's heart The ministers of the court and the central government knew that the court was unwilling to offend Empress Lu. You can't just put it up for two days for no reason, and then release it inexplicably.
At this time, Empress Lu was surprisingly calm, she didn't care about this matter, and she didn't come out to say a word for her old lover, which was like two people from her consistent performance. The reason is very simple, "Empress Dowager Lu is ashamed", Empress Lu is very embarrassed, she is too embarrassed, she was caught by her son for having an extramarital affair, and she has no face to speak for her judgment.
No one in the Manchu Dynasty stood up to intercede for the trial and watched this farce coldly. Judging his usual relationship with the Queen Mother, it is inevitable to offend people. Now that he's unlucky, a few non-authentic colleagues will inevitably joke secretly, "Call you kid crazy!" ”
People still have to have friends. Judging the food, he has a reliable friend, Zhu Jian, the king of the plains. Zhu Jian is a strange person, upright and honest, and unusual. He was a subordinate of Yingbu, the king of Huainan, and when Yingbu rebelled, he asked for his opinion, but he disagreed, but Yingbu didn't listen. Liu Bang suppressed the rebellion of Yingbu, and when he heard that Zhu Jian had opposed it, he appreciated it very much, so he named Zhu Jian the king of Pingyuan. Zhu Jian was famous, and he wanted to make friends with him, but Zhu Jian ignored him.
When Zhu Jian's mother died, the family was poor and had no money for funerals, so they were borrowing money from everywhere.
When Lu Jia heard about it, he ran to see him and congratulated: "Pingyuanjun's mother is dead. ”
Judging by his confusion, "Pingyuanjun's mother is dead, why are you congratulating me?" ”
Lu Jia smiled: "You want to be friends with Zhu Jian, but Zhu Jian refuses to see you." Now that his mother is dead and in dire need of money, if you give him a generous gift, he will definitely be moved to die for you. ”
He then gave him a hundred gold for funeral expenses. Other dignitaries also sent a total of 500 gold for the sake of eating it. Zhu Jian was very moved, and since then he has become a loyal friend of the judge.
When he was arrested, he originally thought that Empress Lu would save him, but he waited left and right and saw no movement, he was anxious and afraid, and sent someone to beg Zhu Jian to see him.
Zhu Jian excused himself and said: "Your case is at a critical juncture, I dare not see you." ”
Judging it, he thought that Zhu Jian was treacherous and scolded angrily.
Judging that he wronged Zhu Jian!
In fact, Zhu Jian came up with a clever plan. He went to find Liu Ying's same-sex lover, Hong Ru. Don't be surprised, Liu Ying not only spoils women, but also pampers good-looking men, and Hong Ru is one of the more favored.
Zhu Jian said: "You are fortunate to be favored by the emperor, there is nothing in the world that you don't know." Now that the Marquis of Biyang was arrested because he was favored by the Queen Mother, everyone said that you said bad things to the emperor, and the emperor wanted to kill the Marquis of Biyang. If the Marquis of Biyang is killed, the Queen Mother will be angry and will kill you. ”
Hong Ru was frightened enough, and argued: "Wronged! I didn't tell Your Majesty about this. ”
Zhu Jian persuaded: "It doesn't matter what you say, the key is what the Queen Mother thinks!" Why don't you say good things in front of the emperor for the Marquis of Biyang? The emperor listened to your words and released the Marquis of Biyang, and the queen mother will be very happy. Both monarchs like you, and you'll get double riches. ”
Hong Ru was afraid that Empress Lu would take the knife on himself, so he listened to Zhu Jian's strategy and pleaded for the trial of him. The lover's pillow wind really worked, and Liu Ying pardoned the trial of eating.
After he was released from prison, he served as a pawn, a position in charge of the reception of tributaries in the vassal states, and was a close official of the empress dowager and the emperor. After this turmoil, Empress Lu and Jian Shiqi are openly together.
