"Liu Qing, I don't seem to remember having made such a will. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "The emperor and Liu Yi are like brothers, and they are very familiar with his style of acting in Piri Yangqiu, and he intends to make things difficult for him.

"At the beginning of your majesty's ascension to the throne in Lingwu, you and your ministers had a recital about which prince was any of the handsome, and Lord Pei and Master Li were present at that time, did your majesty forget?

His Majesty intended to appoint King Jianning as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the minister thought that in the troubled times, the soldiers and people of the world could only obey the marshal's orders, and if the king of Jianning was the commander, the authority of the prince would be invaded by him, which was not conducive to the stability of the court, so he suggested that the prince be the commander.

His Majesty adopted the minister's advice, but he ......"

Liu Yi talked about the past, as if it happened yesterday, Pei Baiyao and Li Jinzhong listened to it, and they both nodded yes again and again.

"Liu Qing doesn't need to say it, I did say that I asked you to pay more attention to the prince's side."

After being reminded by Liu Yi, the emperor suddenly remembered this past, but after he agreed to appoint the prince as the commander, he told Liu Yi that he was worried that the prince would have military power in his hands and would easily form a big tail, and if Liu Yi wanted to lay eyeliner next to the prince, it was not appropriate to mention it today, so he hurriedly interrupted Liu Yi.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Yi bowed deeply to the emperor and continued to the empress: "Isn't Niangniang very concerned about how the Xia family left and returned and infiltrated the East Palace?

The minister will now invite a second witness and ask him to tell the mother. ”

After that, he shouted outside the hall: "Qing Ze, come in." ”

Zeng Qing, the prince's right concubine, entered in response, he was similar to Lin Shu's age, but he was born with a woman's appearance, a thin waist and shaved shoulders, and a pair of phoenix eyes on his fair melon seed face, which was enough to make a man dissipate his soul.

Furong had secretly investigated and learned that it was this Zeng Qingze who personally arranged Mama Xia into the East Palace Flower Workshop three years ago.

She is currently ordering people to continue to track down the origin of his relationship with the Yang family, but she never expected him to be Liu Yi's person, it seems that he controlled the court with the body of cloth, but he successfully retired, Liu Yi, who was hidden in the rivers and lakes, did not really retreat, and the court still does not know how many people secretly obey him. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the queen worriedly.

"Stand down."

The emperor did not give Zeng Qingze a chance to speak, and today's events made him faintly feel uneasy.

The queen is bent on killing the crown prince, and although he does not agree with the reason, he still knows and understands it.

And the prince first took the opportunity of Jing Yuncong's order to visit, bit back, and made it clear to himself that the New Year's Day palace case was framed by the queen, and then led but did not trigger, inducing the queen to show almost all the hole cards, but secretly invited Liu Yi, the immortal, if the counterattack is allowed to unfold, not only will it be difficult for the queen to step down, but he will also be led by the prince step by step into his court.

This deep scheming and meticulous layout are enough to make him, the noble father of the Supreme Ninety-Five, unreachable.

The emperor admits that he is not stupid, especially since he has always consciously or unintentionally avoided falling into this palace fight, which makes him see every move of both sides of the game very clearly.

"Queen, I'm really tired. Liu Qing's immortal trace rarely appeared in Chang'an, just for me to refer to the war on the northern front in detail, and the investigation of the case was handed over to Li Jinzhong and Furong, and then dealt with after careful investigation, how about it? ”

He seemed to casually glance at Yang Quanyi, who had just slipped back into the hall, and asked the queen with a yawn.

The queen is not a stupid person, and understands that in the current situation, it is not unhelpful for the emperor to come forward to calm things down.

But she played almost all the cards in her hand overnight, but found nothing, this breath is really difficult to swallow, so she said provocatively to Liu Yi: "Mr. Liu will move out of His Majesty as soon as he speaks, if the palace does not know how to lift, I am afraid that this person who asks the case will become investigated under Mr.'s sharp teeth." ”

As she spoke, she actually got up and knelt in front of the emperor, whimpered and said, "Your Majesty wants to kill the concubines, all you need is three feet of white silk, and you don't need to spend so much trouble." ”

The emperor was annoyed but helplessly motioned to Yang Quanyi to step forward to help the queen up, and reproached: "The queen and I are one, in front of my subordinates, why do you say such absurd words!" Yang Quanyi, help the queen go back to the palace. ”

The queen pushed Yang Quanyi away, pointed at the prince, and cried to the emperor: "The concubine was almost poisoned in front of His Majesty, no matter the suspects or witnesses are from the East Palace, today Your Majesty does not administer justice for the concubine, and the concubine will die without a place to be buried, Your Majesty!" ”

She finally said what she had buried in her heart for a long time, and everyone present listened to it and was moved.

Pei Baiyao took a step forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the ministers are in the center, thinking that it is not feasible to waste today's affairs, but the prince's misconduct is undoubted, if you don't punish a little, I'm afraid it will be difficult to comfort the mother's heart, and it is not enough to stuff the mouth of a hundred officials, I don't know if Brother Liu agrees with Pei's words?" ”

Liu Yi knew that the emperor was not so much tolerant of the empress as he was afraid, and most of the reason was that the Zhang family and their protégés were all over the court and held the lifeblood of the court.

Take Pei Baiyao, the head of the hundred officials, as an example, although he proclaimed himself the leader of the Qingliu in the court, he has never been involved in internal court disputes, and as the prince's concubine, he has a teacher-student friendship with the prince, but his youngest son married the queen's niece as his wife, and he will not see the queen in a predicament and not help.

Hearing that Pei Baiyao put Jing Yuncong and Li Jinzhong beside him without asking, and only asked for his own opinion, Liu Yi had to smile bitterly and bow his head silently.

At this moment, Xie Liangchen hurriedly walked in again and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is a scout outside the palace gate who holds Lubu to report the victory. ”

The emperor's spirits were lifted, and he immediately glanced at the empress and Yang Quanyi with suspicious eyes, and ordered: "Quick, call in." At the same time, he motioned for the queen to return to the throne and sit down.

Sure enough, within a moment's effort, a scout in the army ran into the hall with Xie Liangchen with a deluge cloth in his hand, knelt down on one leg and kowtowed to the emperor and said: "Report, Wang Shi has recovered Longmen yesterday, annihilated 500 enemies, and captured the rebels stationed in Longmen. ”

When Jing Yuncong heard the news, he couldn't help but rejoice: "The dangerous country is a rebel chieftain and a dangerous brother, and the three armies of the brave crown, in the past battle in the river, I have injured three of my generals in a row, and I don't want to be captured today." Congratulations to Your Majesty. ”

The emperor was also very happy, and asked the scout, "Who captured the dangerous country?" There are such fierce generals among my royal divisions! ”

The scout replied: "Back to the emperor, it was General Zhang who came to the front of the battle, fought with the dangerous country for forty rounds, waved the knife and slashed the dangerous country off the horse, and captured it alive and returned to the camp. ”

"Oh?"

The Emperor looked at the Empress in surprise.

"Zhang Liang has always been on duty in the palace, and he was suddenly ordered to face the enemy, and he was so brave. Li Jinzhong, sent someone to the front of the army to pass the decree, rewarded Zhang Liang with a pair of gold armor, and ordered King Ying to regain Tokyo after the meritorious soldiers were folded and rewarded for meritorious service. ”

He seemed to suddenly think of something, his face sank, and he said: "The prince's behavior is perverse, the palace people are not effective, and the country is in danger, he doesn't think about sharing the worries of the monarch's father, gathers palace officials without permission, feasts and drinks, and is very disappointed. ”

Seeing that the last card she had reserved really worked, the queen looked at Yang Quanyi and couldn't help but secretly say "Amitabha." ”

But I heard the emperor then casually ask the scout: "Yesterday the Dragon Gate was recovered, why did the good news arrive tonight?" ”

The scout was still clever, looked up at Yang Quanyi, and said: "The stagecoach was frightened by the wolf and went astray, so it was delayed, please forgive the emperor." ”

The emperor yawned again, glared at the crown prince who was standing in front of the steps with a look of injustice on his face, and asked Liu Yi, "Liu Qing, what do you think of my handling?" ”

Liu Yicheng bowed down and replied in fear: "Your Majesty's words are true, how can the minister dare to comment on it?" Xia's ministers were indeed ordered to arrange for the East Palace to secretly protect the prince, if she is guilty, please ask Your Majesty to deal with the minister's guilt first. ”

The emperor snorted and scolded: "Old thing, regardless of the occasion, just blindly detours and talks to me. Since you have done what you are told, how can I cure your sins? The Xia family is still handed over to you, and if there is a mistake, be careful that I detain you in the palace as a eunuch. ”

Liu Yi saw that Mama Xia was still kneeling motionless in front of the steps, so he stepped forward and called, "Your Majesty Shengming, Mama is not grateful." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help her up, but as soon as he used his hand, Mama Xia fell to the ground, and when Liu Yi hurriedly leaned over to look, he saw Mama Xia's face was blue and her body was stiff, showing that she had been angry for a long time.

Everyone in the hall was shocked. With tears in his eyes, Li Jinzhong jumped up and hugged Mama Xia's body, and shouted at the prince: "Your Highness, the old sister died unjustly!" ”

The crown prince raised his feet, stepped on Liu Cairen, who was lying beside Xia, and shouted at the queen through gritted teeth: "Why are you forcing me so much! ”

The queen also didn't expect that Mama Xia would not hesitate to commit suicide by taking poison in order to clear the suspicion of the prince's rebellion. ”

When there was a panic in the hall, only Jing Yuncong's mind remained clear, and he did not wait for the emperor to give an order, that is, he ordered Xie Liangchen: "Immediately dismiss everyone outside the palace, order the forbidden army to guard the surroundings of Yichun Palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission." ”

Then he turned to the emperor and said, "This is an ominous place, please move your majesty to the side hall and make plans again." ”

The emperor was frightened by the scene in front of him, and when he heard Jing Yuncong's words, he was about to get up, and Furong's exclamation came from his ears: "Liu Cairen is also dead!" ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see that Liu Cairen, who was trampled under the feet of the prince, had bulging eyes, and the corners of his eyes and mouth were bleeding, and his soul had returned to the sky.

Li Jinzhong shouted angrily: "Come on, take down Yang Quanyi and Furong!" ”

The forbidden troops on duty outside the hall heard the general's order and swarmed in, but when they suddenly saw such a situation in the hall, they all hesitated and did not dare to step forward to take people.

"Li Jinzhong, if you want to rebel, you can't succeed!" The queen knew that Furong took advantage of the chaos to kill Liu Cairen, and stopped talking.

Liu Yi sighed heavily, stood up and persuaded Li Jinzhong: "Brother Li, today's matter has become a dead end, and if you take one step forward, you will fall into a place of no return, don't be rash." ”

After saying that, he arched his hand to the emperor and said: "The minister implores His Majesty to move, and Xu Chen will play alone to solve the urgent need." ”

The Emperor's terrified gaze swept over everyone in the hall one by one, and finally fell on the Empress.

After a long time, he said weakly: "Empress, the last time I saw someone killed, it was in the Fengxiang Army, and you were there at that time, very good, very good......"

As he spoke, he stood up, staggered and walked out, and instructed inarticulately: "Li Jinzhong, lead me to the side hall, Liu Qing, go with me." ”

Pei Baiyao quietly approached the queen and asked in a trembling voice: "Niangniang, what is the emperor?" ”

The queen was still reminiscing about the emperor's words, and she had mixed feelings in her heart, and replied in a daze: "The emperor, he's okay." ”

On the first day of the 16th New Year of the first lunar month, hundreds of officials gathered in the Hanyuan Palace, and what they heard was not the New Year's edict sprinkled by His Majesty the Emperor, but a simple edict: stop using the prince's seal letter, and order the prince to lead an army of 1,000 to garrison Tongzhou in the same state.
