Chapter 8 After the Abolition of the King of Chu
The queen Jihua was the prince of Jiaozhao to secretly return to the capital, and then contacted Dou Chengran and a group of old ministers to force the palace to let the king of Chu take the throne. Now that the king of Chu has been swayed by Meng Huan and Fei Wuji, it is difficult to achieve the goal by normal means, and he can only take risks.
According to the queen's idea, she first got an edict from the palace, and asked people to pretend to be sent to the city father and handed it over to Fenyang, and the edict was sent to the prince to return to Yingdu. After the prince secretly returned to the capital, he contacted the important ministers of the court to force the palace and let the king of Chu take the throne. Waist Yu also knows the power of this matter, in this process, as long as he is not careful, he will lose everything and be shattered. When he wanted to oppose it, he saw that the queen had made up her mind, and although she was very reluctant in her heart, she had no choice but to comply.
"When the time comes, I will get an edict out, stamp it, and send it to you in a blank form. After you get this edict, find someone to copy the king's handwriting and fill in the contents of the edict. There are very few people who can write edicts in the palace, and they are afraid of revealing their feet. After writing the edict, you will arrange a few envoys to pretend to be Qincha, as long as the prince can sneak back to Yingdu secretly. The queen explained the details, hugged her grandson for a while, and then reluctantly returned to the harem.
Because the king of Chu wasted state affairs and indulged in Meng Huan's love, he was even less concerned with governance. The queen obtained a blank edict in her own capacity, and saw the opportunity to stamp the seal of the king of Chu. Everything was in order, so I thought about how to bring the edict to the East Palace and hand it over to the waist jade. Hong'er suggested that she should follow the last plan and let her mother enter the palace again under the guise of seeing the queen's illness to deliver the news, after all, the fact that she succeeded last time was very convincing, and the queen nodded and agreed.
That Mama Chen was ordered by the queen to prepare to enter the palace again. I saw her carrying a cloth bag, bringing some commonly used medicinal materials, and walked into the palace gate on the queen's order.
The palace supervisor still inspected it, and when he found nothing, he put her in the palace. But at the same time, the palace eunuch reported the news to the head of the inner palace, Yanshi, who always suspected that this old woman had a ghost in her heart, so he instructed the palace eunuch to carefully inspect her when she left the palace gate and find out.
The queen lay on the bed, pretended to say some sick suffering, and when everyone was not paying attention, she gave the edict to Mama Chen, and whispered a few words to her; Then she asked the maids to reward her with some property, and watched her go out of the palace, and she was also very uneasy, thinking that success or failure would be in this move, as long as this Mama Chen went out of the palace, things would be a little more stable.
That Mama Chen had the experience of the last time, and she was a little bolder, and she was still smiling when the palace supervisor inspected her. I didn't want to be very strict this time, so I almost stripped myself of my clothes. Mama Chen's face turned blue and panicked suspiciously. Naturally, the blank edict was suddenly revealed.
The palace eunuch was overjoyed, so he brought Mama Chen and the evidence to Yanshi, after a period of torture, Mama Chen first wanted to do something to hide, but how could she suffer from flesh and skin, after some torture, Mama Chen was already dying, so she naturally explained the original story.
"Where did the queen tell you to send this blank edict? Honestly recruit me! "Yanshi wanted to understand the whole course of events.
That Mama Chen was already unbearable, and she died before she finished speaking. Yanshi was so angry that he scolded the palace eunuch, but people could not be resurrected after death, so he had to go to the king of Chu first.
The king of Chu was in the palace and Meng Huan, enjoying the flowers in the garden. Yanshi knelt on the steps and reported the queen's affairs to the king of Chu: "The king, the minister has captured a person who delivered news for the queen today, and he has come to report to the king. ”
King Chu was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Meng Huan's eyes shining.
"You have to be careful, there is no beginning and end, what the hell is going on?" King Chu reproached.
Today, the queen said that she was unwell and needed a medical officer to diagnose and treat her, and said that there was a Mama Chen who was good at medicine and often came to the palace to see the queen, so she specially summoned Mama Chen to the palace. When Mama Chen left the palace, the palace supervisor did a check, and a blank edict was found from Mama Chen. ”
"Blank edict?" The King of Chu pondered for a moment: "Who did she take out this blank edict and prepare it for?" ”
"Please forgive the king, this old woman died without torture, and before she could ask these details. So I don't know where she wants to go, and now only the queen herself knows. Yanshi pointed the finger at Queen Cai.
While the King of Chu was thinking about it, Meng Huan sneered on the side: "King, it seems that what the concubine said in the past is true, and the king has nothing to say today, right?" The queen is immoral, what do you want to do with this edict! Isn't it clear to the king? ”
King Chu's body shook slightly, and he sighed and said, "Now I can't save her." Yanshi, you go and pass on my edict: the queen is immoral and has bad intentions. Strip off the queen's title this day, and expel her back to her kingdom. ”
Meng Huan was a little dissatisfied, and said coldly: "Does the king punish her like this, and don't arrest her for interrogation?" Isn't that too cheap for her! ”
The king of Chu didn't answer Meng Huan's words, and continued to explain to Yanshi: "The widow is going to be promoted to the court tomorrow, you go and tell the ministers to know." ”
The Yanshi received the king's order and went to deliver the message to the ministers. Then he took the palace eunuch and the armor to the main palace of Queen Cai, read out the edict of the king of Chu, and ordered Queen Cai to change into ordinary civilian clothes, take some personal things and set off back to Cai immediately. Empress Cai was already dead at this time, and even if she had all kinds of resentment, she had to be driven out of the palace by a group of subordinates, an ox cart, and a few escort guards.
Here, the king of Chu saw that Meng Huan was a little unhappy, so he persuaded: "What the concubine wants is only the position of queen, after all, the widow has been in love with her for many years, and if she is too ruthless, it will also hurt the children's affection." Besides, the ministers can also explain a little. If the punishment is too severe, the ministers will be more serious, but it will not be beautiful. ”
The king of Chu thought that he had many concubines, and if he wanted to make Meng Huan the queen, he had to have a minister's proposal. Even if this is his own family matter, but Wang Hou has no family affairs and only state affairs, it is more appropriate to be thoughtful, so he personally wrote a secret edict and asked the attendants to send it to the young master's mansion.
On the morning of the second day, the king of Chu ascended the main hall, and the ministers had not seen the king of Chu for a long time. There were many accumulated state affairs, and the military affairs of the country were discussed for one day. When the king of Chu saw that the matter was finished, he proposed to abolish the queen.
"Now Queen Cai is unethical, has a negative widow Longen, does not want to repay, has bad intentions, and is difficult to be the mother of the world of Chu. Now the widow has decided to abolish the lord of Queen Cai and expel him back to the state of Cai. "The king of Chu announced his decision to his ministers. Then Yanshi testified and told the story of what happened. The ministers did not know the truth of this matter, and they did not dare to express their position lightly.
At this time, Fei Wuji came out to play the king of Mingchu: "Since Queen Cai was deposed for her immorality, I can't have a master in the palace, so don't you make the princes laugh?" Therefore, the minister suggested that my king should discuss the future matter today, and if it is abolished, there will be a stand. ”
The king of Chu asked the ministers: "Who do you think Aiqing can stand?" ”
In fact, the king of Chu is also doing this too much, **There are many concubines, who among the ministers can know the king's likes and dislikes? This is just a formality for the King of Chu, and the ministers didn't take it seriously.
I saw Fei Wuji step forward again: "I heard that Princess Meng Huan of Qin has a virtuous personality, has the demeanor of a royal family, and is tolerant and peaceful, and is known to be virtuous and virtuous. ”
The ministers didn't bother to get involved, and besides, Queen Cai was deposed, and it was not easy to refute it. As for who became the queen, the ministers didn't care much, after all, it was the king's family business. So basically, the matter of the establishment was settled in the singing and harmony between the King of Chu and Fei Wuji. Then the king of Chu summoned Xiao Yu to the world.
said that the crown princess was deposed after seeing Cai and was expelled back to Cai, knowing that the matter had been exposed, she was on pins and needles all day long. Later, I didn't see any follow-up actions from King Chu, so I felt a little more at ease. I also heard that the princess Meng Huan became the queen, and she conspired with Fei Wuji to betray the princess at that time, and replaced the princess as the princess, the princess will definitely hold a grudge and will definitely do it to herself, so she wrote a secret letter to the prince and asked him to arrange someone to pick him up and flee to the city father.
On that day, the crown princess sat in the east palace with a gloomy expression, this day was simply like a year, seeing that her son was half a year old, and she hadn't even seen her father's face. Now the situation is critical, and my life is at stake, but I think that I am at fault first, so I have today's retribution. was in a daze there, and a servant came up to report: "There is a person outside the palace who claims to be surnamed Wu, who came from the city father, and said that he has something important to ask to see his mother." ”
When Waist Yu heard this, he turned from worry to joy, most of the people who came from the city father were the prince's people, and it seemed that his letter to the prince had already received it.
"Let him in quickly, for someone sent by the prince will arrive."
After the man worshiped the crown princess, he stood sideways and said to the crown princess in the curtain: "The little minister is entrusted by the prince, and a letter from the family is delivered, please take a look at it." The man took out a letter from his bosom and asked the attendant to pass it to him.
Waist Yu saw that this person had a majestic body, a well-defined face, and an extraordinary bearing. In the past, although he was appointed by the crown prince to send several letters to the East Palace, the two had never met.
"The minister is the son of the Taishi Wu Lu (the word Zixu, that is, the famous Wu Zixu is also), today driven by the prince, the mother will know the mission of the ministers to return to the capital this time after reading the family letter." Wu Yuan said.
Waist Yu unfolded the prince's family letter to read it, and after reading it, he put it in his sleeve, nodded, and said: "Mr. will arrange according to the prince's wishes, make some preparations, and it will be done tomorrow." ”
The soldiers stayed in the East Palace at night and went to prepare carefully.
The second day was dawning, the season was already the turn of spring and summer, the moon was clear, and there were some stars in the sky. The crown princess changed into civilian clothes, brought two personal maids, hugged her son, brought some belongings and belongings, and sneaked out of the palace through the back door. Outside the door, a soldier had already prepared a carriage waiting there, and a few hurriedly got on the carriage, packed up and stopped, and the soldier raised his whip and urged the horse away.
At this time, the prince's east palace, the lantern hanging, in the night of the dawn looks gorgeous and mysterious, revealing an ominous atmosphere, waist jade glanced back at this building that allowed himself to be rich and punished, and thousands of tastes filled his heart.
