174, impeachment
This is not the first time Xiao Yue has been involved, the last time he went to Jiangnan for disaster relief, he killed the local corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the folds of the imperial historians at that time were piled up with several baskets.
The imperial historians naturally knew that the emperor and Xiao Yue had a close relationship, and after seeing the excerpt of impeachment, the emperor did not react at all.
When the bold imperial historian met in the court, he once again raised the matter of Xiao Yuekeng's killing of prisoners of war in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Wenchen died and the military general's horse leather shrouded was returned, which was the most glorious death of Wenchen and military generals.
Xiao Yue listened, gouged out his ears, yawned, he and Nian Nian were too late last night, and they didn't sleep enough, he said, "Impeach me?" Why? ”
The imperial historian's surname is Shen, and he has been in the imperial history platform for decades, and he said confidently, "The minister impeached the prince for not governing the army strictly, conniving at his subordinates to cause trouble, etc., and the most important thing is that the prince killed all the prisoners of war."
They have all surrendered and admitted defeat, why does the prince still want to kill them? “
The old imperial history questioned Xiao Yue tremblingly.
Xiao Yue snorted coldly and said, "Shen Yushi, you probably read books for so many years and read stupidly, right?" ”
"This king asks you, what are the 100,000 prisoners of war to raise? I can't let the soldiers who left the East not eat, give them food, right?
Or is Shen Yushi willing to take out your money and family property to support those prisoners of war? ”
He looked around, his gaze swept over the faces of the ministers of civil and military affairs present, "Or are you all willing to take out your family property to raise prisoners of war?"
If that is the case, the king will go and take a hundred thousand prisoners of war for you. “
"Just, are you sure you want to keep prisoners of war? If you refuse to take your possessions to raise them, or do you want the king to release those prisoners of war, and then let them recuperate, and then continue to fight against the Dongli Dynasty and harass the people on the border?
Or is it not you who are harassing you high-ranking officials who can't lift your hands or shoulders anyway?
When the border people were miserable, you lived in the capital with high beds and soft pillows.
Don't stand and talk without backache.
This king killed so many prisoners of war, and the rest were old and weak women and children, and the Northern Barbarians, even if they wanted to take revenge, they would have to be decades later.
A war has solved the problem for more than ten years, and I think I have made a great contribution. ”
100,000 prisoners of war, 100,000 strong men, can't afford to raise, can't let go, the only way is to kill.
If the number of prisoners of war is very small, about 100 people, you can still talk about the problem of bearing, but 100,000......
Must be killed, not explained.
The generals present also thought the same, not to mention the emperor on the dragon chair.
If he was present at the time, the emperor would have made such a decision, since he was a child, Xiao Yue has shown his love for blood, killing 100,000 people, which may be a number of cattle for others, but for Xiao Yue, he is afraid that his eyes will not blink.
I remember that he secretly went back to the city that day, and when he came to see him the next day, he asked him what he thought at that time.
Xiao Yue said indifferently, "100,000 people, it's quite enjoyable to kill." ”
He supported Xiao Yue, so he pressed on the twists and turns of those impeachments.
Back then, he was the crown prince, and he couldn't keep Xiao Yue when he didn't have power, but now that he is the emperor, if he can't keep Xiao Yue anymore, it's a joke.
Those Wenchen listened to Xiao Yue's words, and their faces turned green.
Especially Shen Lao Yushi, he pointed his finger at Xiao Yue, which was clearly a strong argument, but he couldn't find the words to refute it.
Did you really take out your family property to raise prisoners of war? Or let Xiao Yue let go and fight again?
Not to mention how hard the war is, it also costs the treasury money.
Because of this, the courtiers quarreled for a few days, but they couldn't come out, and the emperor's reward for Xiao Yue was a lot.
If the ministers oppose it again, what is the use of the emperor not objecting? Not to mention Xiao Yue's achievements this time, it is really a good feat, and at the same time, it can also leave a name in the emperor's history books.
Since Xiao Yue can't bite here, then, King Su can always bite there!
So, everyone's eyes turned to Gu Shi'an again, beating people on the street, and she was still the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Changning.
Although it is said that they are all relatives of the emperor and the country, since King Su can do such a hand to the relatives of the emperor today, then I don't know what to do with the people in the future.
The imperial historians asked the emperor to punish the king one after another.
The emperor also pressed the fold and did not send it, and when he asked, the emperor replied, "The bitter master has not spoken, why are you in a hurry?" ”
And Gu Shi'an dropped a sentence lightly, "The people of the Northern Barbarians were in the capital, and at that time, the king thought that he was a spy who wanted to kill the king."
The frightened king could only kick out.
This king has been eating a soothing medicine soup for several days. ”
Those courtiers looked at Gu Shi'an, not knowing whether they were stupid or Gu Shi'an.
Since Gu Shi'an kicked Mo Fei away, the eldest princess's mansion in Changning has been silent, and even the eldest young master of the Mo family, who is an official in the court, has asked for leave.
When something like this happened in the house, Young Master Mo didn't have the face to go to the yamen, so he could only ask for leave to hide at home for two days.
In the Changning Eldest Princess's Mansion, Mo Fei was lying on the bed weakly, Young Master Mo was standing at the end of the bed, and the eldest princess of Changning was standing at the head of the bed.
The atmosphere in the room was clearly wrong.
When Young Master Mo heard that his sister went to stop King Su's car, and after being kicked away, he suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and his eyes turned black for a while.
The eldest princess of Changning pursed her lips, and a maid came in with a medicine bowl to feed Mo Fei to drink medicine, she scolded, "What kind of medicine to take, don't take it again, let her die and be clean." ”
Young Master Mo hated his sister for embarrassing the family, but it was also his sister, he begged in a low voice, "Grandmother, Fei'er is injured like this, why do you bother to say such things again......"
"There is no such shameless girl in the princess's mansion! Because your father and mother died early, our ancestors and grandchildren depend on each other, so I spoiled her more.
Unexpectedly, she was spoiled and spoiled, and she had the courage to do such a humiliating thing. The eldest princess of Changning closed her eyes and quickly made a decision.
said to Young Master Mo, "Your sister is not sensible, doing such a thing, King Su is clearly unwilling to marry her, if you really want to marry, this time you will not directly kick Fei'er who is blocking the road." ”
She slumped in her chair, knowing that at this moment, not to mention Mo Fei, it was the Mo family, and her reputation had been hurt.
Now that she is alive, the rest of the Mo family will not be able to do anything, in case she goes one day......
After being silent for a long time, she suddenly said, "Come on, send the girl to the Yanzhou family temple immediately." ”
"Grandmother." Young Master Mo said hurriedly.
The eldest princess of Changning's hand shrunk into a fist, her expression was a little gloomy, "Don't worry, grandmother won't let this pass like this." ”
In the palace, Queen Jiang was discussing Lin Rui's wedding with the Queen Mother, the wedding date was set for December 18, and the wedding date was set in such a hurry, in fact, Miss Jiang's stomach was about to be unable to cover it.
Even if this marriage started from an ugly incident, Queen Jiang still hopes to do it better.
As soon as I discussed it, I heard that the eldest princess of Changning had entered the palace and was coming to Yongfu Palace.
The eldest princess of Changning was wearing a princess dress, and there were not many jewelry on her body, but she looked extremely neat, with a usual smile on her face, graceful and luxurious, not in a hurry, and she couldn't see any thoughts at all.
"Why is my aunt here?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
The eldest princess of Changning saluted the queen mother, and received the family gift from Queen Jiang, and when it came to Lin Rui's marriage, Fang sat on the stool moved by the palace maid.
She smiled and said to the Queen Mother, "When people are old, they feel less at night, and they have something in their hearts, so they will come to the palace to see you." ”
Although the Queen Mother is in the palace, how can she not know about Mo Fei's affairs in the court? However, she didn't say anything, just wondered, "Now that the children have grown up, you just need to enjoy the happiness, what can you do?" ”
The eldest princess of Changning sighed, "The eldest one, who has already married a wife and had children, doesn't need me to worry too much, it is the youngest granddaughter, how old is she this year, and the family affairs have not yet been settled, isn't it afraid that she will miss her life." ”
The Queen Mother knew this and nodded.
"Hey, speaking of which, it's also my family's unsuccessful, there was a joke in the summer, I went home and reprimanded her severely, and I thought I had turned her around, but I didn't expect ......"
She hid her face and wept.
The Queen Mother frowned and hurriedly comforted, "What's the matter?" You also know that I am in the palace, deaf and blind, what is wrong? ”
Empress Jiang, who was sitting with her on the side, looked at the eldest princess of Changning, with an inquisitive look in her eyes, and suddenly felt in her heart that this aunt and grandmother were smarter and wiser than they imagined, and things might not be easy to clean up.
"When I said this, I didn't have the face to see anyone, you know, Fei'er is focused on Shi'an's body, but helpless, hey, two days ago, she said that she was bored at home, and I was soft-hearted, so I let her go out, but I didn't expect to meet Shi'an...... She was momentarily excited......"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Shi'an is good, although the age is there, it doesn't look old at all, but it's a pity that I can't let go of Jing......ning in my heart."
The corners of the eldest princess of Changning's mouth twitched, and when she didn't hear anything, she continued, "I won't say anything, it's just that they are all cousins, how can Shi'an be so ruthless?" kicked Fei'er away with one kick.
He...... Hey, even for the sake of relatives, he shouldn't be so ruthless, and now Fei'er has lost her face...... I was also sent to the family temple.
Although I also know that Fei'er did it herself, but is it my grandson...... It's uncomfortable here......"
The eldest princess of Changning patted her chest in fear, and her old tears were crisscrossed.
Empress Jiang looked at the eldest princess of Changning on the side, and then looked at the queen mother, her eyes moistened, and knew that the eldest princess of Changning was selling very well.
She didn't say that Gu Shi'an was not, but first ashamed and self-reflective, showing weakness, which made Gu Shi'an aggressive, not thinking about the affection of relatives, and arrogant and unreasonable.
The Queen Mother knows the truth of the matter, but in the end, the eldest princess of Changning is an elder, she has stayed in Yanzhou all her life, and when she is old, she comes to the capital, but such a thing happens.
Empress Jiang pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Grandmother, the emperor mentioned this matter to me, saying that King Su didn't know who was stopping him, and he thought it was a spy from somewhere."
You also know that recently there were people from the Northern Barbarian Mission in Beijing, and he thought it was a Northern Barbarian, so he just kicked over, and later learned that it was Fei'er, so he asked people to send it back. ”
The eldest princess of Changning glanced at the queen mother who didn't speak, and knew in her heart that the queen mother didn't want to help herself, she was in her heart, Xiao Yue had just won the battle now, if Gu Shi'an was going to do something, she would probably be said to be a master.
She was disappointed for a while, but she quickly changed her strategy and pretended to be helpless, "No, it was indeed someone from the Su Wangfu who sent Fei'er back at that time."
But in this matter, in the end, Fei'er did something wrong, I don't know if I can ask Niangniang to help intercede and let Shi'an include Fei'er in the palace.
When she does such things, everyone is watching, if she doesn't marry King Su, she will ...... in this life."
There were old tears on her face, she really didn't want to send Fei'er to Suwang's Mansion, Gu Shi'an could kick away the weak woman who blocked his way without pity, if she entered Suwang's Mansion, she probably wouldn't have a good life.
But if you don't send it to King Su's Mansion, you will die faster.
The Queen Mother finally understood the purpose of the eldest princess of Changning entering the palace, and even Queen Jiang was stunned.
The Queen Mother shook her head, "Auntie, Shi'an has made it clear, if you want to enter the mansion, you have to go to wash the toilet." The mourning family can't do such a thing, knowing that the result is not good, and still issuing an order, isn't that adding to the blockage? ”
She pretended to groan and said, "Didn't Fei'er go to the temple?" In this way, the mourning family named her a layman, with the name of this royal layman, in the future, when the matter is over, let her get married, or if she wants to succeed, anyway, no one will bury her. ”
The eldest princess of Changning didn't want the queen mother to help say yes, if she wanted, she wouldn't lose face in the Qiwu Hall for a while last time, she stood up, saluted with a smile, and said, "That's really good." ”
A picture of joy for all.
Although the purpose of entering the palace failed, the old face was a little hot, and the old face was also lost, originally this time I entered the palace to retreat as an advance, so that the queen mother, the emperor had a disgust for Gu Shi'an and even Xiao Yue.
Unexpectedly, if I didn't see the emperor, I would fail here in the Queen Mother.
However, if she understood Gu Shi'an, and even Xiao Yue's status in the emperor's heart, it could be regarded as an unexpected gain.
The eldest princess of Changning also stayed for a short time, talked to the queen mother again, and left.
Although Mo Fei seems to have suffered in vain, how could the eldest princess of Changning really give up?
When she came out of the palace and saw Master Mo, the first thing she said was, "What you said, grandmother thought about it and agreed." ”
Young Master Mo raised his head suddenly and said, "Grandmother, is it true?" ”
The eldest princess of Changning nodded slowly.
……
Since the last time she saw the Fourth Prince in the summer resort, Gu Nian hadn't seen him again, as if it was just a nightmare for hers.
Later, the news from Gu Shi'an that the four princes in Huangjue Temple were indeed fake, but the emperor did not spread the news.
Everyone knows that the four princes are imprisoned in Huangjue Temple, so outside, no matter how they wander, it is not justifiable, and when the time comes, the emperor will kill him in front of the world, and naturally some people will believe it.
But in private, the search for the four princes has not stopped, no one knows where the four princes are now, so they can only wait, wait until the four princes appear, and then break out.
Soon, it was the day of Lin Rui's wedding, the capital was red, the prince's wedding, and the royal family was very grand.
The dowry prepared by the Jiang family was carried out of the door one after another, although it was not a real 'Ten Miles of Red Makeup', but it also made the people of the capital see a lot of excitement.
However, what they didn't expect was that when the team to greet the bride arrived at the door of Jiang's house, everyone found that it was not the eldest prince who came to pick up the bride into the palace, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
The Jiang family's smile was a little stiff, but it was not easy to show it on their faces.
According to the rules, when the prince marries the princess, he does not have to come in person, but he can also be greeted by the envoy of the Ministry of Rites.
However, generally living in the same capital, the princes will give the Yue family a face and come to marry the bride in person.
After all, if the prince marries a wife, as long as he is a little ambitious, he wants to win over any force that can be wooed.
What exactly does the Great Prince mean? Why don't you give the Jiang family face like this?
The girl Jiang Da, who was dressed in a happy dress, heard that "the welcome has arrived." Her heart trembled, like a cold heart piercing into her heart, and her heart suddenly became empty, not knowing whether she was lost or sad.
She tugged at the clothes of the eldest brother who carried her out, all of this was done by herself, and now even if she knew that the eldest prince might not be a good match, she could regret the marriage.
What's more, she still has a child in her belly.
She kept telling herself that the eldest prince didn't come to greet her, it was a rule, not that he didn't come on purpose.
In this way, with such a thought, Miss Jiang got on the sedan chair and swayed into the palace.
In fact, at this moment, Lin Rui neither came to pick up Miss Jiang nor was he in the palace.
The auspicious time of the wedding was in the evening, and Queen Jiang wanted to receive the female dependents, and she couldn't look at him all the time.
He changed out of the groom's dress and secretly went to the suburbs, a Zhuangzi in the Cheng'en Mansion.
After Miss Jiang's pregnancy was exposed, Yun'er was also sent out of the palace by the Queen Mother, and even told Duchess Chengen everything.
Duchess Chengen didn't expect Yun'er to be mixed with the emperor's eldest son, if it was the prince, it would be nothing, but the emperor's eldest son, it would be wrong to distinguish the generations.
So he sent Yun'er to the suburbs, thinking that after a while, Yun'er figured it out, and then took it back, anyway, the big family, leave the girl a little more time, and no one said anything, but it was a show of loving the girl.
"Rui'er?" Yun'er looked at Lin Rui, who was dressed in regular clothes, in surprise, "Isn't today your big day?" How did you get here? ”
Lin Rui looked at the lonely woman in front of him, and couldn't help but step forward and approach her, "The person I married is not the person I like, how can I be happy?" ”
Yun'er pushed Lin Rui away, took a step back, and sighed, "You shouldn't be like this, the eldest princess will be very sad, not to mention, you all have children." ”
Lin Rui stepped forward and grabbed Yun'er's wrist, "Who I like, don't you know?" I was dizzy for a moment before I ...... will ......"
"What I like is you, that time, I was behind the screen, and I should have seen you, but I recognized the wrong person at the time."
Yun'er shook her head, with tears in the corners of her eyes, the tears were crystal clear, but they couldn't fall, which added a bit of pity to it.
"You...... Our identity is destined to be impossible. ”
Lin Rui grabbed her hand tightly, "How is it impossible?" Tang Gaozong also married his father's concubine, what are we......"
The eunuch who followed Lin Rui knelt on the ground, today, if there is an accident in this marriage, they who follow the eldest prince out of the palace may not even be able to save their lives.
Yun'er sighed and pulled out the hand that was grabbed by Lin Rui, "Tang Gaozong can marry his father's concubine, that's because he is the emperor, and he has the right to control life and death in the world, what about you?" What are you? ”
There was even a bit of sarcasm in her tone, and she looked at Lin Rui with pity, as if he couldn't do it.
Lin Rui's face was flushed by what she said, and his expression was a little uncomfortable, and he suddenly remembered the days when he was studying in the side hall of the imperial study, and even the little children of the Jin Palace's mansion could laugh at him.
He blushed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely become the emperor, I am my father's eldest son, the throne is not mine, whose is it?" At that time, I must marry you into the palace in a beautiful way and make you the queen. ”
Yun'er sneered, "You think the throne is yours?" The emperor has other princes, if it is yours, why don't you be crowned the crown prince?
In my cousin's place, you are not even as good as the King of Jin, no, the King of Jin is not as good as the little prince! ”
"You...... You talk nonsense. Lin Rui blurted out in a hurry.
Yun'er shook her head and said to Lin Rui, "You better go back and marry a wife and have children, listen to your father's words, maybe, in the future, you can really be an emperor, a puppet emperor." ”
Lin Rui stared at Yun'er and left a sentence, "You wait for me here, I will definitely use the phoenix to take you into the palace." ”
After saying that, he walked away without looking back.
Yun'er looked at Lin Rui's departing back and laughed self-deprecatingly.
The palace was still lively, Xiao Yue was talking to the people eating wine at the same table, and he came over secretly and whispered a few words in his ear.
The smile on Xiao Yue's face remained unchanged, and he just nodded silently.
When the welcoming team left the palace, many people knew that Lin Rui did not go to greet him, but no one said anything, just a lively look on his face.
In Fengyi Palace, the emperor's face was flat, and his eyes almost fell on Lin Rui, who was kneeling on the ground.
"You're doing a good job."
Lin Rui's face was gloomy, he lowered his head, and when he heard the word 'you', he suddenly raised his head, "Father, you ......"
He wanted to say that the emperor was spying on him, but did the emperor still use surveillance? His whereabouts must be reported to the emperor by many people.
"What are you? Are there any rules? The emperor snorted, his eyes were deep, his gaze fell on Lin Rui's face, half loud, and snorted coldly,
"You sat down on the ugly thing by yourself, and since you did it, the manly husband had to admit it, so it was above board, but what did you do? Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. ”
"My Fair Lady and Gentleman are good, and my son is also sad to be a beauty......"
The emperor's eyes suddenly became cold, with a faint sense of sarcasm, "I have fulfilled your love of beauty, but your heart is too big." ”
"Today, you go and finish the wedding, and starting tomorrow, in the side hall of the imperial study, you are not allowed to go out for a step.
Anyway, your wife is raising a baby. ”
Lin Rui pursed his lips, looked up at the emperor, and said, "Why did my father detain his sons and ministers like this?" The son has already taken a wife, not three years old, five years old, put it next to you for enlightenment. ”
The emperor said 'ha', "Enlightenment? I see that you are not as good as a three-year-old child, if you can, I hate that you can't be a child who can't be taught well, you are not even as good as Xu'er, Xu'er ......"
"Xu'er, Xu'er...... Who else is in the eyes of the father? Erchen is your biological child, so what kind of wild seed is Xu'er? Worth it for you to keep talking about?
What does he compare with his sons......
"Pap ......" The queen, who had been silent on the side, stepped forward and slapped Lin Rui, trembling all over, "You unfilial thing...... Your father is right, you're stupid, stupid. ”
She wiped her tears, looked at Lin Rui with hatred, knelt in front of the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, there are so many guests outside, let him go to the full ceremony, it's the concubine who is not good, and the concubine didn't teach him well......"
The emperor rubbed his forehead tiredly, and said softly, "Since you think it is wrong for me to detain you by my side, then I will make you the king of An, and when the palace is built, you can go out of the palace."
The palace, there is no need to build it, just use your fifth uncle's mansion in the past, how do you want to get it, you go and talk to the Internal Affairs Office. ”
After speaking, he got up and walked out of Fengyi Palace.
Empress Jiang kicked on Lin Rui's body, "You...... There is a day you regret. ”
Regardless of Lin Rui, he chased after the emperor.
……
The emperor's decree to seal the emperor's eldest son, King An, was issued through the world on the second day, and there was an uproar in the capital, and they didn't understand what kind of routine the emperor was.
The eldest son of the emperor, that is the eldest son, a powerful candidate for the crown prince.
In Lin Rui's opinion, he was not at all annoyed by the fact that he was crowned King An, he had already wanted to go out of the palace to build a mansion, so that he could cultivate his own power and compete with Xiao Yue.
