Qiu Yizhi bit his lower lip in pain and said, "It's because the third brother is too kind...... Zheng Xin wants to be the emperor, of course he wants to get rid of the third brother, the younger brother who is expected by everyone, not to mention, although the emperor did not make a holy decree, he has long planned to pass the throne to the third brother - this time the royal driving expedition, didn't he also arrange for the third brother to supervise the country in the court? Isn't the one who oversees the country the acting emperor? ”

The queen still didn't want to believe it, and said: "You are just an inference, there is no real evidence, and it is difficult for people to be convinced......"

Qiu Yizhi replied: "This Zhao Maiji is the credential. He is Zheng Xin's henchman, and he has helped Zheng Xin do many hurtful things. If the queen doesn't believe it, just listen to him! ”

After that, Qiu Yizhi kicked Zhao Maiji again and scolded: "Thief, how did you listen to Zheng Xin's orders and intercept and kill the Third Highness?" Hurry up and tell the queen about it! ”

Zhao Maiji was in pain from Qiu Yizhi's kicks, but he gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi said viciously: "You have the face to do it, don't you have the face to say it?" If you can tell the truth about your sins, I will recognize you as a man. Otherwise, look how I torture you and make you regret being born into this world! ”

Zhao Maiji is not afraid of death, but what he is afraid of is endless torture, and Qiu Yizhi's words really made him a little scared. But Zhao Maiji had already been properly trained by Zheng Xin's enwei and Shi, and he was unwilling to say Zheng Xin's viciousness to his face for a while.

But I heard Qiu Yizhi say again: "If you tell Zheng Xin what he did and tell me about it, I will give you a whole corpse." If you cover up for Zheng Xin again, not only will you be tortured in life, but you will also enter the 'tongue pulling hell' when you die, wouldn't it be painful? Zhao Maiji, you still have a good breath, in fact, there is no difference between you and a dead person, I am talking about the reason, you should think about it. ”

These few words finally completely defeated Zhao Maiji's psychological defense, only to hear a very dull and ugly sigh from his throat, and finally said after a while: "Okay, I said, I'll say it!" ”

This Zhao Maiji did not participate in Zheng Xin's killing of the emperor and prime minister in Jinling, and was ordered to intercept and kill the third son of the emperor, Zheng Miao, but he was the person who presided over it, so he told the queen and Qiu Yizhi everything about the process.

The queen didn't believe it at first, but what Zhao Maiji said was indeed well-founded, and she was not allowed to believe it. These irrefutable facts dealt a psychological blow to the queen, which was hundreds of times stronger than the previous Qiu Yizhi's invasion of the palace, knocking her down completely, burying her body in the soft cushion, unable to move.

Qiu Yizhi saw that the queen obviously believed her words, so she raised her hand and ordered left and right: "Take Zhao Maiji's mess of meat and carry it down for me!" I'll send him down later. ”

Zhao Maiji, who was lying on the ground, was stunned for a moment and said, "No, aren't you going to give me a way to die happily?" Why don't you do it yet? ”

Qiu Yizhi laughed cruelly: "You murdered the crime of the Third Highness of the Prison State, I can let you die simply." But you killed my brother Chi Lianghong, I haven't spared you yet! ”

Zhao Maiji had an extremely painful expression on his face, and the slightly healed scar on his face burst open again, and the blood and pus that came out of the wound flowed all over the ground, emitting a fishy smell.

When Qiu Yizhi smelled this smell, his heart was even more disgusted, and he waved his hand one after another: "Lift it down, carry it down!" What to leave him doing here! ”

Zhao Maiji was dragged down by the soldiers on both sides like a mess of meat, but he said: "You don't talk about faithfulness, you ...... You're a wicked villain! ”

Qiu Yizhi was unforgiving, and sneered: "Hmph! It's true that I'm a wicked villain. But you, as well as Zheng Xin above you, killed your father, brother, and teacher, how should you comment? You can be regarded as knowing some right and wrong, seeing Zheng Xin doing evil like this, he neither persuaded nor stopped, nor even avoided it, how should people like you be evaluated? ”

Qiu Yizhi's words suddenly made Zhao Maiji speechless, and he couldn't speak anymore.

The queen over there finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter, and asked in a choked voice: "Yizhi, the emperor, Zheng Miao, and Mr. Zhongli, are all ...... Are they all dead? ”

Qiu Yizhi was reminded of the sad thing again, wiped a handful of tears, and said, "I have seen this with my own eyes...... Master Zhongli was unwilling to draft an edict for Zheng Miao, and was willing to commit suicide by taking poison...... The emperor was stabbed to death by Zheng Xin in collusion with Tianzun Sect Leader Wen Honghui...... The third brother was killed by the dead ghost Zhao Maiji just now, and the body was still collected in Tongguan...... None of them have been buried yet......"

In just a few words, the queen killed her husband and son, and the culprit of everything was his other son. Now this queen mother is not the kind of stupid girl who has never seen much of the world in the deep palace mansion since she was a child, but also started from the princess of Youyan and followed her husband Zheng Rong step by step to this "Lizheng Palace".

However, she is still a woman after all, hearing such news is tantamount to pulling out the backbone of her chest, and the momentum of the world is gone, like an ordinary peasant woman who is at a loss, constantly repeating: "How is this good...... How can this be a good ......?"

How to deal with the current situation, Qiu Yizhi already had a plan, shrank his nose, and said unusually calmly: "There is only one purpose now, that is, not to let Zheng Xin, a traitor, succeed and restore the orthodox face of the Han Dynasty!" However, since the emperor has passed away, the so-called 'country cannot be without a king for a day', it is better to establish an emperor as soon as possible. ”

At this point, the queen suddenly sobered up and said weakly: "The emperor has died, Zheng Miao is gone, Zheng Xin is a traitor, and naturally he can't be the emperor...... Could it be ...... Could it be that the throne is Zheng Sen's? There was anxiety, hesitation, and desperation in his tone.

Of course, the queen should be anxious, hesitant, and desperate in this matter.

The son of the third brother under the knee of Emperor Zheng Rong of Daxing, the eldest son Zheng Xin and the third son Zheng Miao are all the queen's own sons-in-law, no matter who inherits the throne among the two, the queen's title of "queen mother" cannot run away; And the second son Zheng Sen was born to a princess from Zheng Rong and Fanbanghe, if he succeeds to the throne, he may not be the current queen mother as the queen mother......

Such a major problem temporarily pulled the queen back to reality from her grief, and stared at Qiu Yizhi with a pair of eyes.

The queen's mentality, of course, Qiu Yizhi took it into account, and said quietly: "Zheng Sen can't be the emperor. First, he has Hu blood, and entering the Central Plains will inevitably violate the sage's Huayi distinction. Second, he is still in Jiangnan, his position is unclear, and he may still rebel and make trouble, so he can't take this risk. Third, he is a concubine after all, and it is not in line with etiquette to let him succeed to the throne. Queen Mother, do you think that's the truth? ”

Qiu Yizhi's last sentence just hit the queen's heart, making her even claim: "Yes, yes, for the sake of long-term peace and stability, it is indeed not appropriate to set up Zheng Sen as the emperor, and the emperor also said before that Zheng Sen is a martial artist and can only lead the army." But who else can he stand up to now? ”

Qiu Yizhi continued: "It stands to reason that the son of the third brother should be appointed as the emperor. It's a pity that the third brother only has two princesses under his knees, so there is no way, so he can only support Zheng Xin's son......"

Skipping the prince directly, and establishing the emperor's grandson as the emperor, there is no precedent since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and there are still some things worth scrutinizing in the etiquette. However, Zheng Xin's two sons - Zheng Chao and Zheng Qi - are the sons of Mrs. Daqin, and they are the descendants of the same lineage.

This is the only good news that the queen has gotten since she was woken up by Qiu Yizhi in the middle of the night, and her body, which had been motionless in her seat for a long time, finally moved, and said, "It seems that this is the only way to go......"

"Nope." Qiu Yizhi said again, "Zheng Xin is rebellious, and he can't let his son be the emperor." ”

The queen didn't understand, obviously there was only one option left, Zheng Xin's two sons, why did the Qiu Yizhi in front of her veto, so she wondered: "Yizhi, what do you mean by this?" ”

Qiu Yi's way: "If you want to be an emperor, you can't be Zheng Xin's son." Zheng Chao is too old, as for Zheng Qi, I want him to pass on to the third brother and let him be the son of the third brother and Mrs. Xiao Qin. ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, and finally figured out the logical relationship, and immediately praised: "This idea is very good, and it is no longer appropriate." ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that the queen had already agreed, and saw that the window paper outside had gradually turned white, so he said: "Zheng Xin's palace has been controlled by someone I sent. Since Niangniang is willing to preside over in the center, then I will escort Zheng Chao and Zheng Qi over the two brothers. Then ask Niangniang to make a decree and pass on Mrs. Xiao Qin, Mrs. Da Qin, and Mr. Qin Guangyuan to come over together. ”

The queen didn't expect Qiu Yizhi to do things so quickly, before breaking into the palace, she had already controlled Zheng Xin's two sons, and suddenly thought that her husband and own son were no longer by her side, and although she was the queen, she could only be at the mercy of an outsider - although Qiu Yizhi was the emperor's righteous son, after all, there was no such relationship where blood was thicker than water.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel a little cold, waved her hand and said: "This palace is a female streamer, and you should deal with the affairs outside." When you're ready, you can invite Yi Zhi in. I have a splitting headache right now and need a good rest......"

Qiu Yizhi really didn't have anything else to say to the queen, so he made a gesture to the queen and slowly retreated.

After going out, Qiu Yizhi was afraid of any more accidents, so he did not stay away from the "Lizheng Palace", but found a pavilion outside the palace, found the four treasures of the study, and wrote two warrants with Lin Shuhan, so he found a few reliable subordinates to go out of the palace separately to summon relevant people. He himself continued to stay in the pavilion, sometimes discussing a few words with Lin Shuhan, sometimes burying his head in writing a few words, and sometimes falling into deep silence......

In this way, after half an hour, Mrs. Daqin, who had already been controlled, and his two sons were the first to be escorted over. Zheng Xin's eldest son, Zheng Chao, seemed to have resisted and wrestled, and his face was blue and purple; The youngest son, Zheng Chao, was so frightened that he couldn't even walk.

Qiu Yizhi saw their embarrassed appearance, and laughed in her heart, but saw that Mrs. Da Qin was also pushed and shoved over, and suddenly thought that she was still Mrs. Xiao Qin's own sister after all, and she couldn't be too offended, so she scolded a few of her subordinates and said, "Hey, you guys don't know how to be polite, how can you be rude to the princess?" ”

The sergeants were stunned for a moment, and they were at a loss for what to do.

However, Mrs. Daqin was moved by these words, and wiped her tears and squatted to Qiu Yizhi: "Thank you for your uncle's care." ”

Qiu Yizhi's face suddenly turned red, and he immediately waved his hand, don't turn his head, and talked to Lin Shuhan again.
