Chapter 1012: Empress Eldest Sun
Lizheng Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this queen's palace, Li Yuan still let Empress Changsun live temporarily, but the original palace maids and attendants in the palace have been replaced, in exchange for a group of fresh faces.
Empress Changsun's injuries were still very serious, and she was bedridden all day.
The emperor sent hundreds of guards to surround the palace, and not a single fly in the palace wanted to fly out. But even if the Emperor allowed her to walk freely, her current body would not be able to go anywhere. The queen's only request was to let Li Tai and Li Lizhen, a pair of children, stay by her side to accompany her.
Yang has gone mad.
Her young child was thrown to death in front of her father-in-law, but the child's husband stopped her and was indifferent. The ruthlessness and cruelty of the Li family's father and son made this woman completely collapse, she was crazy, crying and laughing for a while, and she couldn't even recognize people. One will take this as Li Shimin, and the other will take that as Yuanji.
The eldest grandson wanted her to stay by his side, but Yuan Ji asked the Yang family to take her away and imprisoned her alone in a side hall not far away, not far away, and the eldest grandson could often hear her crying and laughing here.
A poor woman.
The queen is most worried about her eldest son Cheng Qian, and after she was forced to write that letter, she didn't know how Cheng Qian would choose. She was very entangled in her heart, on the one hand, she hoped that the prince would not come out, the East Palace was still relatively strong, and there were so many loyal soldiers to escort her, and there would be no problem in holding on for a while, and her husband would come back if she held on for a while, and the prince would be safe.
But on the other hand, she was worried about Li Tai and Li Liqing, a pair of children, and she was afraid that the emperor, who was already crazy, would really kill the two children cruelly, just like he killed Li Ming.
The Emperor Taishang has gone crazy and can do anything.
If it was just herself, she could die, and she wouldn't implicate Cheng Qian. But the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and she can't rest assured that every child is at ease.
There is no shortage of food and drink in the Lizheng Palace, and three meals a day are delivered. Li Yuan even sent someone over to give Li Tai a lecture and teach him homework.
He even came over to eat with them personally, "We are a family. Li Yuan always said this, but every time he heard it, Empress Eldest Sun felt disgusted once, and she wanted to vomit in disgust.
Today, the Empress Changsun didn't hear Yang's crying and laughing all day.
"She jumped into a well and died."
Yang's cousin, another Yang said. Today, there are three Yang family members who come over, they are also the daughters of the Sui clan, but they are Li Shimin's famous concubines, and one of them is Yang Guang's daughter.
One Yang died, and Li Yuan sent Li Shimin's other three Yangs.
Big and small Yang Concubine and Yang Jieyu.
Among the three Yang families, the higher status is Yang Shufei, the concubine of the Tang Dynasty's harem, and the first and fourth concubines. Under the queen, there are only four who really have the title of concubine, namely Guifei Shufei Defei Xianfei, and Yang Shufei ranked third in Li Shimin's harem.
She is not from a low background, she is the granddaughter of Yang Su and the daughter of Yang Xuan.
Another Yang Concubine is the daughter of Yang Guang, she gave birth to Li Shimin's third son Li Ke and sixth son Li Su, but she does not have the title of concubine, only the title of concubine. However, because she was a princess of the previous dynasty and gave birth to two princes, she was called Concubine Yang.
Another Yang Jieyu is the granddaughter of Yang Xiong, the king of Suiguan, and the daughter of Yang Gongdao.
Jieyu is in the harem, and her status is one level lower than that of the nine concubines.
The three Yang families all brought their own sons and daughters, of which only Concubine Yang had two sons, and the rest were daughters.
Several concubines gathered together, their faces full of uneasiness.
"When will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince open the East Palace?" Yang Jieyu asked Empress Changsun, although she hadn't seen the Emperor Taishang fall to death of the Nine Emperors that day, she had already heard about it. Every time she thought about it, she couldn't help but tremble.
She held her daughter for fear that something like this would happen to her daughter.
"I have already written the letter to the prince, and it is up to the prince to decide how to choose." Empress Eldest Sun was lying on the bed, her face pale and her heart sad. Now the prince must be very difficult to decide.
"Niangniang might as well write another letter to Cheng Qian." Yang Shufei said.
"Niangniang, now that the capital is in the hands of His Majesty, with only the people and horses of the East Palace, I am afraid that it will not last long. It's better to let the prince open the East Palace first, I believe that as long as the prince comes out, His Majesty will not do anything to His Royal Highness. ”
The eldest grandson lay there, silent.
Concubine Yang also said at this time, "If you think about it, this is not a bad way." ”
The eldest grandson was thinking that today the Emperor Taishang took them to blackmail the prince to open the palace and surrender, and when his husband returned to Hanjing, when the soldiers came to the city, would the Emperor Taishang also use them to blackmail her husband as he does now.
At that time, how will the husband choose?
"Did Niangniang hear, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, fell to the Emperor Taishang, just accepted the title of the Emperor Taishang, became the king of Wujun, and also made the Shannan Jiedu envoy, and has led 30,000 troops to Jiangxia, it is said that he went to intercept Zhao Guogong, who led the army of King Huai to Beijing."
"Li Jing?" The eldest grandson was a little surprised.
Concubine Yang said, "In fact, Li Jing was also forced to do so, His Majesty brought his grandson into the palace as a guard, and took him hostage in disguise, and Li Jing had to obey the order." ”
Yang Shufei snorted, "It may not be the case, didn't the warrior Yan just run over there by himself, and it is said that he has already participated in the planning." ”
Concubine Yang and Yang Jieyu are from the same family, but Concubine Yang Shufei is Yang Su's granddaughter and has nothing to do with the clan of the previous dynasty. She had a bad attitude towards Concubine Yang and them, "Your cousin, if she could have told the court the news earlier, this restoration would not have come to this point." ”
"On the day of the Yang incident, she dared to go to the East Palace, I think she just went to make eyes and ears for the warriors."
Empress Changsun felt that Wu Shi Yan's wife, Yang, was very knowledgeable and loyal, and she must not have known about the restoration and rebellion before, and Wu Shi Yan might not tell her about the plan.
She thought to herself, Yang is also a poor woman.
The husband was also very important in the new dynasty, but now he threw himself into the emperor and participated in the restoration and rebellion. And she, staying in the East Palace alone with her three daughters, must be very sad to face the exclusion of countless suspicions.
"Niangniang, write another letter to the prince." Yang Jieyu said on the side again.
Empress Eldest Sun stroked her daughter's hair, and her daughter had been scared all day these days, and finally fell asleep at this time. She caressed her daughter's long hair lovingly, and Li Tai sat next to her sister sensibly, and put a blanket on her sister.
"I've already written a letter and won't write it again. How to choose, I leave it to Cheng Qian to make a decision. No matter what Cheng Qian's final choice is, I can accept it. ”
"You don't have to panic, the Emperor Taishang was just to establish his authority that day, and he is not a murderer, and he will not kill people at will, let alone kill his grandchildren."
Concubine Yang and the others couldn't persuade Empress Changsun, so they could only sit on the side and sigh again and again.
