Chapter 244: Liquidation

The development of things was beyond everyone's expectations, and King An, who originally thought that he was seriously ill in bed, suddenly improved his health on the day of the sacrifice, successfully completed the sacrifice to the temple, and became the rightful King An.

When the news came back from the temple, there was an uproar.

"See, people are really dragons and phoenixes, otherwise how can they sacrifice to the temple, and this body will be fine."

"Yes, the emperor has been delayed in letting King An worship the temple, you say, ......."

"Shhh, you dare to criticize the royal affairs?"

"But I heard that King An is not actually sick, but poisoned?"

As soon as the words came out, he was immediately surrounded by many people, this is the latest news, many people have speculated about the strange illness of King An, but they have not heard of poisoning.

The head of the person who spoke was raised proudly, "The second daughter of my eldest aunt's brother-in-law was sent to King An's mansion to serve, and I heard her say that King An was poisoned." ”

............

Rumors of poisoning are spreading in the streets, and there are speculations about what versions.

In the Queen Mother's Antai Palace, the Queen Mother scolded angrily: "Go and investigate thoroughly with the mourning family, what is going on?" Let's see what went wrong in that link, if it is found out that someone has betrayed the mourning family, hum"

The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Ling Chi is executed." ”

Sun Zhong's face was not very good-looking, he bowed down and retreated to investigate, the Queen Mother just gave an order, most of the time he was still directing and planning this matter, and now that something went wrong, the Queen Mother naturally didn't have a good face for him.

The Queen Mother waited for Sun Zhong to retreat. Still feeling suffocated in his chest, he patted the table hatefully. "This scumbag is really lucky, we have planned it so carefully. He still escaped. ”

The emperor sitting opposite had a gloomy face and waited for the queen mother to scold, and then sighed: "If this matter is not for our people to show their feet at the beginning, let him plan and set a trap for us to drill, that is, someone in the middle betrayed us, no matter which one, it is certain that Qi Chenjing should have known about this matter before, so he conspired with the eldest princess of Fuyun to calculate us." ”

He is not a woman, and when something happens like the Queen Mother, he first curses angrily. When he scolded enough, he was still angry and angry, as early as when he was in the temple, the moment he saw Qi Chenjing standing in front of him intact, the emperor began to think about where the omission of this matter was.

He thought about it, and finally affirmed one thing, that is, Qi Chenjing and the eldest princess Fuyun conspired to set a trap for him.

First Qi Chenjing pretended to be critically ill, and then the eldest princess Fuyun went to court and deliberately set a trap. Let him set the time of the sacrifice in front of the civil and military officials, and promise that as long as he completes the sacrifice, he will be given a jade.

Qi Chenjing thought that what was necessary was his own promise, he was the emperor. Chrysostom said that the words he said naturally cannot be reversed.

As long as he opened this mouth, Qi Chenjing continued to pretend to be sick and paralyze them. It didn't appear at the Jongmyo until a moment before the sacrifice, that time. He just wanted to do something too late.

What's more, the sacrifice is a big deal, and he doesn't dare to do anything in the temple.

It's just how Qi Chenjing hid from the imperial doctor. Pretending to be poisoned, he couldn't figure this out.

"Queen Mother, the Imperial Doctor is what you believed, I think about it, and I don't understand how he hid it from the Imperial Doctor?" The emperor looked puzzled, "And that Xiuhong, is it reliable?" ”

Only the Imperial Physician and Xiuhong were the closest to Qi Chenjing, although they rewarded a lot of people to King An's Mansion, but only the Imperial Physician and Xiuhong really got her instructions.

The Queen Mother's anger eased slightly, and she frowned and thought about the emperor's words, "This matter is quite strange, but Xiuhong's family is in the hands of Sun Zhong, she shouldn't dare to betray the mourning family." ”

That's weird.

The emperor's face sank, "We still underestimate Qi Chenjing, there are other people around him or behind him, it seems that we should investigate the people around him." ”

When Qi Chenjing entered Beijing, he only brought a guard, two small servants, and three weak scholars, he didn't take these people to heart, a guard who knew martial arts couldn't make a big deal, and as for the two little guys and three weak scholars, it was even less worth paying attention to.

"Could it be that there is a power behind him that we don't know about?"

The Queen Mother sneered, "Who else, isn't it the old thief of Fuyun, who thinks that it is great to have the title of Emperor Taizu?" blatantly opposed us, Your Majesty, this decreed that the title of Duke of Ningguo was taken away, and the children of the Chen family who had positions on their bodies were all taken away, hmph, the mourning family wants to see if it is her own children and grandchildren who are important, or Qi Chenjing's little scumbag is important. ”

The eldest princess of Fuyun was personally sealed by Emperor Taizu, and promised that no one should touch her title, otherwise the old woman would not be so arrogant, but she could not be moved, but her children and grandchildren could be moved.

The emperor frowned, a little impatient with the Queen Mother's unreasonable troubles, he came to the Queen Mother just to analyze the truth of the matter with her, after all, Sun Zhong is the person next to the Queen Mother, and this time the matter was commanded by Sun Zhong.

If he could do what the Queen Mother said, he would have made an order when he came back from the temple yesterday, so why wait until now.

Suppressing the impatience in his heart, the emperor opened his mouth to explain: "Now there is no suitable reason to deal with Ning Guogong's family, especially now that the eldest princess Fuyun is clearly on King An's side, I want to issue an order to deal with Ning Guogong's family, but I will give people a handle, making it clear that I am not satisfied with them standing on King An's side, doesn't this tell the world that I have no tolerance for King An?" ”

At that time, those imperial historians will probably have something to talk about, and the emperor really doesn't want to provoke those nagging and upright imperial historians.

The Queen Mother was furious, "According to the emperor's meaning, not only can we not deal with Ning Guogong's family, but we have to treat them well?" ”

She actually didn't know in her heart that the emperor's analysis was reasonable, but she couldn't swallow that breath.

The emperor sighed helplessly, it was indeed so.

Emperor Taizu fought in all directions in his early years, although there were many heirs under his knees, but not many lived to the time when he ascended the throne, that is, the first emperor, and his body was also heavily injured in the process of fighting with Taizu in the early years, so the heirs were scarce.

The lack of royal heirs was something that the courtiers were worried about.

Now that there is an heir to the former emperor, King An, the courtiers' eyes are naturally fixed on King An to see how he treats King An.

Therefore, no matter how much he hated Qi Chenjing in his heart, he didn't dare to deal with Qi Chenjing blatantly, because he was afraid of chilling the hearts of the courtiers.

In the final analysis, they were careless at the beginning, so that Qi Chenjing's identity was revealed to the world, if Qi Chenjing had been killed when his identity was unknown, he would not be tied up now.

"The current rumors in the market say that he has been poisoned, I estimate that he will take this opportunity to liquidate the people around him, this matter has caused speculation among the courtiers, the queen mother, it is not suitable for us to do it again during this time, let's settle down for a while, and talk about it in the long run." The emperor told the queen mother.

That's the second purpose for which he came today.

The courtiers are not fools, why Qi Chenjing suddenly fell seriously ill, and why he suddenly rushed to the temple at the moment before the sacrifice, they can always guess a thing or two, if they let them know that their emperor is actually ruthless against the only sibling, I am afraid that many courtiers will be cold and will object.

If the eldest princess Fuyun secretly adds fuel to the fire, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil in the court.

And now that Qi Chenjing has a sense of precaution, he is afraid that he will liquidate the people around him, and it will not be easy to find out the news in King An's Mansion in the future.

Although unwilling, the emperor still advised the queen mother not to do it in a short time.

The more anxious they are, the easier it is to show their feet, after all, King An didn't do anything when he entered Beijing, and he only asked about the government on weekdays, but they were so anxious to deal with him, for fear that it would cause more speculation, and it would not be good to lead to other things when the time came.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

This Qi Chenjing, as expected, was born to restrain her, and she couldn't sleep well in the previous ten years, but now that he has been in Beijing for just a few months, she is angry and sick.

Although angry and unwilling, she can only endure it, firstly, what the emperor said also has a certain truth, and secondly, now that the emperor has a lot of life with him, if she does not follow him again, I am afraid that the mother-son relationship will be weaker.

"Well, the mourners listen to you."

When the rumors about King An's poisoning were boiling, Qi Chenjing sent someone to announce that the slaves and maids who had been rewarded in the palace before were sent back to the palace, including the palace maid Xiuhong, who was beaten and bruised, and her confession was carried with her, which stated that she poisoned King An because she failed to seduce King An and hated because of love.

"The queen mother rewarded the palace maid to the son, originally because she loved the son, but these people lived up to the queen mother's heart, poisoned and murdered the son, for the sake of the queen mother's name, the son has already punished the vicious palace maid with a cane, and please don't blame the mother." King An's words were full of emotion, and he looked like he was doing his best to maintain the name of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, but she couldn't scold Qi Chenjing, and she had to say, "King An did a good job, and the slut who did it like this betrayed the trust and heart of the mourning family, even if he was killed, it would not be too much to die." ”

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and ordered the attendant to drag Xiuhong, who was covered in bruises on the ground, out and kill him with a cane.

As for the other palace maids who were sent back by King An, they were assigned to Xinzheku to do labor.

After this incident, the Queen Mother was not good enough to reward Qi Chenjing with the people she was waiting for, in case she disappointed her wishes and poisoned Qi Chenjing, wouldn't she deliberately want to harm Qi Chenjing.

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and watched Qi Chenjing slowly leave the palace, and she didn't come up in a breath, so she pouted.

Qi Chenjing, who left the palace, let out a long breath, and all the people who served in the house were replaced by those they bought and trained themselves, and they could finally have a good year in peace.

Well, it's time to write a peace letter to Yan'er when I go back. (To be continued.) )
