Chapter 108: Drumming on the Book

The government and the opposition beat the drum and wrote the book

Lost his arms and looked around at a loss

At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, there was bad news in the palace:

The thirty-six-year-old queen Han Jing suddenly died in Jingshu Palace. Late that night, Han Yanxuan drank too much alcohol and was so drunk that he was sleeping soundly in Mrs. Tan's room when the palace attendant informed him of the news. Tan knew that this matter was not trivial, so he was busy reporting to Mrs. Wu. On the one hand, Mrs. Wu sent someone to call Su Shicheng and Zhou Yunluan, and on the other hand, she asked Tan to clean her face with cold water and pour the wine soup. It took a while to wake him up.

Hearing this bad news, Han Yanxuan collapsed on the bed for a long time before coming back to his senses. His face was gloomy, and he whispered in his mouth: What is going on, how can you say that you are young and leave. Holding Mrs. Wu's hand, she said with tears in her eyes:

Last year, Tongqing passed away suddenly, and now the child is gone again, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, calling us to be elders, how can we not be sad?

In the summer of the previous year, Taiwei and Qingyuan Army made Han Tongqing a good day, but when Zhuang called him in the morning, he was already cold and unable to return to heaven, and he was only fifty-eight years old. In less than a year, the father and daughter passed away one after another, which is really a disaster.

Madame was busy comforting him, lord, now is not the time to be sad, hurry up and go to the palace to see what is going on.

Seeing that he was walking a little shaky, he told Su Shicheng and Zhou Yunluan:

Good students take care of the prince.

Walking into Jingshu Palace, everything has been cleaned up: the spiritual position in the mourning hall is placed, and Queen Han is dressed in a big funeral and lies quietly. The palace ladies all bowed their heads and wept prostrately.

Han Yanxuan was completely awake at this time, he slowly walked to the front, lifted the red silk covering the queen's body, and the familiar face came into view, but it was as white as ashes, lifeless. Put down the red silk and cover her. Standing up, his eyes were red and tears were rolling in his eyes.

Seeing Guan Li by his side, he held back his grief:

Brother Guan, the emperor.

The emperor is in the east wing of this palace, accompanied by Yang Wanyi.

Stepping into the east wing, Han Yanxuan knelt down towards the emperor, crying:

Your Majesty, Wechen is late.

Zhao Kuo pulled his hand, trying to get him to stand up. I saw him come down with tears on his face, and said while weeping:

Your Majesty, how good is this, how can the good queen say that it is gone?

This sentence touched Zhao Kuo's sensitive nerves, remembering Han's kindness to him, he also cried sadly, and the two of them cried together.

Guan Li hurriedly came over to persuade him. Han Yanxuan also knew that the emperor was weak, so he stopped being sad, and asked Yang Wanyi to accompany the emperor back to the palace, and the following things were handled by the ministers.

After the emperor left, Han Yan's face sank like water, and he called the Jingshu Palace's escort class, female officials and the imperial doctor on duty, and they were vicious:

You tell me one by one, how did the queen say that there was no one, whether someone was poisoned, whether anyone made her angry and sick, did you invite Lang Zhong in time, whether Lang Zhong's medication was wrong, the medicine did not work, please did not invite the best Lang Zhong, Su Shicheng and Zhou Yunluan asked me one by one, carefully checked, if there is any problem, give me a hard beating, until I am killed.

This queen has always been demure and quiet, steady and frugal, never asked about the government, but it is a pity that she gave birth to four sons and two daughters, all of whom died one after another, and none of them survived.

Many days have passed, and Han Yanxuan has come to his senses, he has checked what he should check, and he has beaten what he should fight, but people can't be resurrected after death, and no one can calm the pain in his heart. In the past, he had two powerful arms in the palace, one was his aunt Empress Dowager Wu, and the other was the queen of his own family. Three years ago, my aunt passed away, and at the age of eighty-three, he was considered to have lived a long life, and at that time, he had exhausted all his tricks. As for Queen Han, the illness came too quickly, and he didn't know anything, so he left, unprepared, and didn't have any strength at all.

In his heart, as long as she, the queen surnamed Han, is here, she doesn't say anything, and he will sit back and relax in the harem. Now that this niece and queen is gone, he feels empty in his heart. Because, he knows that the emperor has a cowardly personality and is easy to listen to others, if he is replaced by a queen who doesn't like him, can he still be like this?

Thinking of this, he had a sense of foreboding.

When I was restless, the big drum of the Dengwen Drum Courtyard was beaten loudly. Zhou Yunluan came back to report: A scholar named Lu Zutai beat the drum and wrote a book. shouted at the top of his voice: Please ask the emperor to kill the traitorous minister Han Yanxuan and eliminate harm for the people. He also held a big sign in his hand, on which were written the four characters "Kill Han and Eliminate Harm".

In this way, it caused quite a stir inside and outside the palace.

In the recital to the emperor, it is said that this is what it says:

Taoism has been the foundation of national education since ancient times, but it is listed as a forbidden school, and Prime Minister Zhao Ruyu is a person who has contributed to the country today, but he was deposed and died. Now, Han Yanxuan adheres to the government and politics, establishes Taoism as pseudo-science, prohibits the dissemination, and expells Zhao Zhu and other loyal ministers, which is bound to weaken the country and the people to deviate from morality. However, His Majesty still does not understand the vigilance.

Chen Zhishan was just Han Yanxuan's teacher when he was a child, and in three or four years, he went from the county to the government, and where are Peng Zishou and others, the minister whom His Majesty admires, now? Han Yanxuan is unlearned, arrogant, and arrogant, and above the court. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to quickly kill Han Yanxuan and expel Chen Zhishan and the like. In the past, loyal ministers, only Zhou Bi was available, and it was appropriate to act as the prime minister. If it doesn't, the country will suffer a catastrophe.

Who is Lu Zutai, why did he suddenly come to such a hand? Soon, Zhou Yunluan figured it out.

It turned out that this Lu Zutai was the cousin of Lu Zuqian and Lu Zujian. That year, Lu Zujian was dismissed from the post of Taifu Temple because of Zhao Ruyu's explanation, sent to Shaozhou to be managed, and was sent to Jizhou, Jiangxi Province after intercession.

It is not a sinner who is coordinated, and there is a certain amount of freedom. Lu Zujian also cultivated and studied here, and after a long time, he got used to it, but he suddenly fell ill in the fifth year and died before he was fifty. This Lu Zutai is the son of his uncle, and he traveled to Gao'an.

Unfortunately, my cousin fell ill, and soon the medicine stone was useless and died in his arms. Lu Zutai came from it with sorrow, calling for heaven and earth, thinking about his cousin's debasement back then, he couldn't help gritting his teeth with hatred for Han Yanxuan, crying and shouting, he wanted to kill Han Yanxuan and avenge his brother.

Speaking of this experience, officials who are familiar with the Lu family are all embarrassed. But the blow of this performance is too big, and while the spearhead is directly aimed at Han Yanxuan and Chen Zhishan, he also insinuates that the emperor is confused, except for Zhou Bida, there is no loyal minister. And his tone was fierce, claiming that only by killing Han Yanxuan could he solve the problem. When this came, some old ministers wanted to intercede for him, but they couldn't open their mouths.

The book reached the hand of the emperor Zhao Kuo, and Han Yanxuan explained, the emperor was angry and ordered to deal with it strictly. Soon after, the edict was issued:

Zu Tai wrote privately, forgot his language, and detained Lianzhou.

The punishment of detention is severe, and it is a criminal who has no personal freedom. This is the end of this year, who knows, there are waves again.
