Yang Zhi blatantly shot Zhao Tianyang without an invitation, just to prepare a scapegoat for the emperor. Under the emperor's anger, it is difficult to guarantee that he still cares about what bears the notoriety of killing children. As soon as the crown prince died, Wei Su was categorically unlucky.

In today's situation, the prince has become a dead tiger, and there is no difference between life and death for Yang Zhi. At the right time, he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger." The history is like a knife, and the name of killing the son is really difficult to bear! The minister thought that it was better to temporarily imprison the prince and order him to meditate on his own mistakes. As for how to deal with it, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate whether the crown prince is being coerced, or even confused for a while, and it is not too late to make a decision after the emperor and the ministers of the Zaifu have consulted. Didn't the emperor say that he wanted to be early in the morning? Now that there is a great change, people are panicking, and everything is complicated and complicated, are you summoning a few important ministers into the palace at this time to discuss a charter first? ”

Yang Zhi's words were very well placed, leaving sufficient room for maneuver for the emperor to deal with the aftermath. It is not to persuade the emperor that the crown prince cannot be killed, but that it is not so easy to kill. Is the crown prince "coerced" and even "confused for a while", isn't it what your emperor can say if he needs it? At the same time, the emperor was reminded that the most important thing at the moment was to stabilize the situation and control the situation within a certain range as soon as possible.

The emperor is scheming and heroic, of course, he will not act casually. Snorted coldly: "Am I the one who is punished for not teaching? What you say is reasonable, and I will do what you say. Message: Zhao Xing, King Zhaofu, Wang Yunong of Longyuan Pavilion University, Xu Wenhan, a scholar of Jixian Palace, and Chen Wenyuan, a retired lieutenant, immediately enter the palace to discuss matters! Zhi'er, take advantage of this gap to accompany me to the queen again. If it weren't for that slut shouting behind his back, this rebel wouldn't have that guts! I want to see what kind of virtue this mother and son are when the dog jumps off the wall! ”

Since the day the crown prince was canonized, he was afraid of being replaced by the rest of the princes, and he was appointed to act for many years, and he did not dare to slack off for a moment. Now that he has fallen into a ruined field and his life is in danger, everyone has some sympathy for the prince. are faintly a little unbearable, but they just feel humble and don't dare to speak falsely.

After listening to Yang Zhi's advice, the emperor didn't blink his eyes. not only did not deny the statement that he was not in a hurry to characterize the crown prince's crimes, but also took advantage of the situation to lead the charges to the queen's head. The power of heaven is unpredictable, although everyone can't understand the emperor's mind for a while, they are all inexplicably relieved for the prince. It is said that the only death is the only death due to the hardships of eternity, and the crown prince Zhao Heng was not a person with a resolute temperament. The previous intention to take poison and commit suicide was only based on the frustration and fear of suddenly falling into defeat, how could he be willing to just want to die? He involuntarily raised his head to look at Yang Zhi, his eyes full of unbelievable surprise. Even the original words that wanted to scold Yang Zhi for not pretending to be a good person, for fear of further provoking the emperor to change his mind, swallowed it back.

Before the emperor could move, Yan Fang knelt down again, held up a bloodstained silk scarf above his head and said, "Weichen deserves death!" There is one more thing that is too late to explain to the emperor. When Weichen rushed to the queen's dormitory by order, the queen had already committed suicide by hanging herself, leaving only a bloody book. ”

"What?! What did you say? Queen mother...... She committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam? The prince was shocked. Then he fell to the ground and wept: "Queen Mother! The son is not filial, I hurt you! Queen mother! ”

The prince cried out to the sky and the earth, crying heartbroken, I am afraid it is not false. Although he couldn't help complaining to the queen when he heard of the defeat at first glance, only his mother was the one who sincerely spared no effort to support him from beginning to end. He knew in his heart that Concubine Wei and the queen committed suicide one after another, all trying to replace the crime with death, all in order to save their lives!

The emperor was only stunned for a moment, but then his expression was surprisingly calm. It seems that the queen has long expected such an ending. Silently took the queen's blood book silk scarf and looked at it for a long time, handed it to Yang Zhi, and sighed: "It's okay." ”

The emperor's opponent this time was none other than his wife, children and in-laws. is an extremely sad and embarrassing "family ugly". The so-called heavenly family has no father and son, and the emperor has no family affairs, and at the juncture of survival and death, of course, he can't care about paying so much attention. Once the winner has been decided, then you have to think about it carefully. As the saying goes, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and if it is ruthless, it will be laughed at by the people of the world. It makes the royal courtiers chill to the bone, and it shakes the foundation of their own world. The emperor was not unaware of this, otherwise he would not have acquiesced in Yang Zhi's shooting of Zhao Tianyang as a scapegoat, let alone accept his advice to deal with the prince cautiously. Whether a prince is killed or left behind is enough of a headache for him, and if he has to think about how to deal with the queen, it will also be very tricky. The queen decided to commit suicide, and if she died, she would die, and all the emperor needed to think about was what kind of "death" she would have.

Yang Zhizhan looked at it, and he was also embarrassed: The concubine has the honor to serve His Majesty for more than 30 years, is it affectionate? Ruthless? Only the cold and warm know themselves. Heng'er has been gentle and diligent since childhood, but his Majesty does not like it. The concubine was afraid that she would one day be abandoned by His Majesty, so she planned to do this great rebellion with all her heart. This is the end of the matter, and when is it? Fate? The concubine knew that her sins were unforgivable, and she had no shame to see Your Majesty again. The Li family has no dissenting intentions, the tiger poison does not eat children, His Majesty Wan Qi must not be angry with others, and the big things are connected!

The marriage between the emperor and the empress was originally a naked political transaction. Speaking from the heart, the queen and the crown prince, mother and son, have been walking on thin ice and being cautious for decades, how have they ever enjoyed a little bit of comfort? The queen's suicide note can be described as blood and tears!

The emperor asked with empty eyes, "How?" ”

Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "Pathetic, lamentable! ”

The Emperor took back the blood silk scarf, lit it on the giant candle beside him, and threw it into the beast furnace. glanced at the weeping prince with disdain, and said coldly: "Not bad." But also hateful, hateful! Ma Cheng, the Ministry of Rites and Rites will be the queen of the funeral in conjunction with the Tai Hospital, and the funeral regulations are to be discussed. ”

The crown prince sobbed and pleaded: "Father, please allow the unfilial son to keep a vigil for the queen mother tonight for the sake of the queen's love for serving you for decades." ”

The emperor kicked him violently and scolded viciously: "At this time, you want to be a filial son? Remembering to say goodbye to me? Wake? I won't allow it! Because you don't deserve it! You still stay here honestly, and think about who will keep a watch for you in the future! Get lost! Get out of here! lest I see you disgusted! Yan Fang, listen well: without my will, if this rebel dares to take a step out of the East Palace, he will be killed! ”

Yang Zhi saw that the emperor was upset, and diverted the topic and said: "Your Majesty, it's not early, and a few important ministers should be almost there." You originally said that the court was early, but now the palaces of the princes and ministers are still guarded by the troops led by Captain Zhang An, and if you don't send someone to send a decree to let you go, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to come to the court on time. After the great change, people have decided that today's early dynasty should not be delayed, do you think it is ......? ”

The emperor's emphasis on the early dynasty was intended to show that his throne was still as secure as a rock. The Emperor was approaching his sixtieth year, and had not closed his eyes all night last night, so he did not have the energy to rush to a specific state meeting at this time.

Nodding his head, "What you said is very true." In addition to Wei Su, the three marquis of the Li family and a few other die-hard elements who praised the prince's stinky feet, Zhang Anqin was ordered to lead a thousand soldiers to strictly guard it, and the soldiers who surrounded the other mansions could be withdrawn. The 2,000 soldiers patrolling the city led by Wei Zhigao could also be withdrawn. ”

Of course, the emperor wanted to avoid further panic in Chang'an as much as possible, so that the situation could return to calm as soon as possible. also heard that Yang Zhi faintly had the intention of taking the opportunity to slip away, and said through the words: "Zhi'er, you are extremely skilled in martial arts, and even more cunning like a ghost, thoughtful and thoughtful, and far-reaching, you may not be worse than those ministers, and we will discuss it together later!" You don't have to work for the Flying Tiger Marquis to pass on the decree, I just draft a will and hand it over to Wen Guang to take a trip. You are now going to accompany me to the imperial study, and you are not allowed to go anywhere! Ma Cheng, quickly go get some wine and food and send it to the imperial study, and settle down here first! I tossed around all night, and I was a little hungry. ”

The women and children in Chang'an City all know that Yang Zhi not only enlarged Princess Changxiu's belly, but also took her back to the mansion with all the audacity. But Yang Zhi also knew that this family emperor was not so easy to recognize. On occasions when there are outsiders, in front of the emperor, they call themselves "micro-ministers" as usual. On the contrary, the emperor called "Zhi'er" happily, and seemed to recognize this son-in-law intentionally or unintentionally. Fang Cai's evaluation of Yang Zhi can be described as unabashed, "Holy Dependents Zhenglong" is far from enough to describe the weight of this uncle in the eyes of the emperor, including Qin Yong, everyone present is unheard.

Yang Zhi didn't think so. Whether in the past, or in the five years after the emperor promised him to become the first customs governor of Great Xia, the emperor was able to tolerate his bottom line of only accumulating wealth, without the slightest intention of using him to lead the army as a general, and even more clearly said that he should be strictly prevented from accumulating private armed forces. As long as the emperor does not die for a day, he will not be truly at ease with Yang Zhi for half a moment!

The emperor is now or in the next three or five years, and he will definitely do everything he can to encircle Yang Zhiji. This is because he needs such a powerful person who has not yet joined any faction and has not yet colluded with any group of major interests, and can be used at any time to deter and suppress all kinds of restless forces in the DPRK and China and maintain the stability of the DPRK situation. As for whether he will unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future, it depends on Yang Zhi's Tao Hui art.

The group waited for a while without saying anything, and accompanied the driver to the imperial study. Ma Cheng was a well-boiled minion, and believed that the emperor would be very tired of the original dormitory, and would use the imperial study as a living place for a long time in the future. It has been a few months since the emperor left the palace, and at this moment, Ma Cheng actually sent people to sort out all kinds of things and tidy up spotlessly.

As soon as the emperor and the others stepped into the imperial study, Ma Cheng brought a pot of wine, a few delicate side dishes and snacks with their back feet. Yang Zhi didn't like or was good at drinking, and the emperor didn't seem to have much to drink, so he beckoned Yang Zhi and Qin to sit down and eat at will, and hastily filled their stomachs.

At this moment, the east has gradually turned white, and the sky has passed the middle of the day. The emperor was half-lying on the dragon chair, and tiredly ordered: "Qin Yong, you go to serve outside the door, and those who are not called to come are not allowed to enter." Zhi'er, when King Fu and a few Zaifu arrive, you just have to listen and watch with your heart, if I don't ask you, I won't say a word! ”

At the end of one big play, the prelude to another big drama is coming to an end, and the curtain is about to be officially staged. Who is the director, who is the actor, who is the audience, and who can tell the difference?
