Chapter 1067: The Dead (2)
One step, two steps, three steps, closer, closer, although the speed of Bandung and the climb is not fast, but there are only nine steps in total, no matter how slow, it is just a matter of a moment, Bandung and finally climbed to the place where the plaque is, but seeing that he took a few breaths of air, he trembled and stretched out his hand holding the rag, and wiped it on the plaque indiscriminately, while the corner of his eyes was secretly observing the movements of the little eunuchs around him.
"Hoo ......"
Qianqing Palace is the main palace of the inner ban, covering an area of not small, just a large hall, it is hundreds of square meters, a total of more than a dozen eunuchs are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping, left and right, when even if it is sparse, everyone is responsible for the place is not small, this busy will get up, since no one has the heart to watch Wanlong and what is doing something, as soon as he sees this, Wanlonghe can't help but grow out of the air, put his head to the back of the plaque, pretending to wipe it, but in fact it is a copper key shaken out of the rag, With trembling hands and feet, he inserted the key into the keyhole of the vertical storage box, only twisting, but after listening to the crisp sound of "click", the lock on the vertical storage box had already popped open.
"Well, you old gelding, what are you doing there?"
Everyone in the hall is working hard to sprinkle and sweep, the whole movement is not small, the sound of the copper lock popping open is mixed in, if you don't pay attention to listening, you can't notice anything wrong at all, it stands to reason that no one should be able to find out about Wan Longhe's misdeeds, but there are always accidents, no, just when Wan Longhe just reached out and grabbed the edict in the box, a cold break suddenly sounded, and it was the guard master surnamed Zhao who didn't know when he had jumped from the palace door to the palace, Apparently he heard the strange sound of the lock.
"Ah......h
Being drunk like this by the guards surnamed Zhao, Wan Long and his fat body rolled down from the ladder even if he was trembling and unstable, and even after taking the standing storage box out of the plaque, he slammed it on the ground, and the edict rolled in the box rolled on the ground like this.
"Bold gelding, dare to act rashly, come on, take it!"
Seeing that the box of the edict was actually opened by Wan Longhe in private, the face of the guard surnamed Zhao was instantly pale, and he was anxious and angry, and immediately broke off his throat, and in an instant, several guards who were originally idle at the gate of the palace immediately swarmed in, unceremoniously pressed Wan Longhe to the ground, and the force was so fierce that Wan Longhe couldn't help but howl miserably.
"What's going on, huh?"
This change happened too suddenly, as soon as they saw Wan Longhe being taken down on the spot, all the eunuchs of all sizes were immediately frightened and screamed, and the scene was chaotic, but at this moment, a majestic voice suddenly sounded, and the third elder brother in neat court clothes had already appeared at the palace gate.
"Yu Xi Belle, this fang stole the edict under the pretense of sprinkling and sweeping, and was seized by the last general on the spot, and everyone is stolen!"
Seeing that it was the third elder brother who came, the guard surnamed Zhao didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly grabbed in front of him, bowed down, and hurriedly said a word.
"What? It's really brave to have this time! ”
As soon as he heard this, the third elder brother's face immediately changed, and Tie Qing scolded him incomparably.
"Hahaha...... what if the Sprinkle family did it? You dare to treat the Sprinkle family like this, my prince will ascend the throne in the future, and he will never let you wait, you will wait for death, hahaha......"
Although he had been pressed to the ground by the guards, Wan Longhe not only did not admit his guilt, but laughed wildly, laughing while threatening everyone unscrupulously, but before the laughter fell, he saw that a stream of black blood was already flowing from the corner of his mouth, and then his fat face turned black in an instant, and his body trembled a few times, and he was already out of breath.
"It's not good, this old gelding has taken poison and is out of gas!"
As soon as he saw that the situation was wrong, the guard surnamed Zhao suddenly became anxious, and in a flash, he had already jumped to Wan Longhe's side regardless of it, stretched out his hand and twisted his mandible, and forcibly made him open his mouth.
"Damn, how can this be, say!"
The guard surnamed Zhao exclaimed in surprise, and the third elder brother was obviously anxious, but when he saw him stomping his foot fiercely, he already shouted and asked.
"Back to Xi Bellor's words, this old gelding dog took a poison pill under the root of his tongue in advance, and the last general did not check it for a while, and he took advantage of the gap to take the poison, and the last general should die, and the last general should die."
Wan Longhe, who took down the edict on the spot, was a great achievement, but he couldn't stop him from committing suicide by taking poison, but it was a crime of dereliction of duty, compared with the two powers, the guard surnamed Zhao was afraid that he would definitely escape the punishment, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit his sin.
"Hmph, wait for the scene, Ben Beile will go and ask for the will of the emperor!"
The third elder brother did not pay attention to the pleading of the guards surnamed Zhao, stomped his foot hatefully, and snatched it into the apse regardless of the ground.
"Huang Ama is not good, something is wrong!"
Emperor Chengde has been sick in bed for more than a month, unconscious several times, and his spirit is slightly better today, but he also can't get out of bed, and he is leaning on the brocade cushion and closing his eyes to recuperate.
"Bastard, panic, what the hell, say!"
Frightened by the third elder brother like this, Emperor Chengde suddenly opened his eyes, and saw that the person who shouted so recklessly was the third elder brother, even if he was a little angry, he scolded him with a bad face.
"If you return to Huang Ama, Wan Longhe, the deacon and eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, stole the edict box and was captured by the guards on the spot, but he actually committed suicide by taking poison!"
Emperor Chengde was so angry, the third elder brother didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly fell to his knees, and replied in a panic.
"What? How so? Say, "Who is the mastermind?" ”
As soon as he heard the third elder brother say this, even if Emperor Chengde was angry, he didn't know where he got the strength, so he suddenly sat up straight, stared at the third elder brother with round eyes, and asked angrily.
"So that the emperor Ama will know that although the ministers have guesses, they really dare not say anything."
Emperor Chengde was already so angry that his face turned pale, but the third elder brother was good, but he sold Guanzi.
"Bastard, say, you've made it clear to me!"
Tampering with the edict is not a trivial matter, but a usurpation of the throne, and a ruthless trampling on the dignity of Emperor Chengde, in such a situation, how can Emperor Chengde tolerate the third elder brother to avoid talking about it, but seeing that he was angry, he stretched out his hand, pushed the third elder brother to the ground, and broke off with a loud voice.
"Ah, yes, yes, Erchen said that's it, it should be instructed by the eldest brother!"
The third elder brother seemed to be frightened by Emperor Chengde's irritability, and his face trembled palely, and only then did he grit his teeth and solve the mystery with difficulty.
"What? That's impossible! ”
As soon as he heard the third elder brother testify against Hongqing, Emperor Chengde's first reaction was not to believe it, no, Emperor Chengde was going to pass on Hongqing, although this meaning has not been publicly announced, but handing over the power of the prison to Hongqing itself is already announcing such a fact to the ministers, just ask how can Hongqing steal the edict in such a situation.
"Emperor Ama Mingjian, Erchen also thought it was unlikely, but judging from all the signs, the most unlikely thing may be the truth!"
Things have evolved to such a point, it is naturally impossible for the third elder brother to retreat at this time, even if Emperor Chengde's anger is already terrifying, but the third elder brother has explained a sentence in a strong voice.
"Huh? What the hell is going on, you will make it clear to me! ”
Emperor Chengde was already a very suspicious person, and when he heard the third elder brother say this, the doubts in his heart suddenly became bigger, and he hurriedly asked.
"Huang Ama, here's the thing, early this morning, when I came to ask for peace, Wan Longhe and the eldest brother eyebrows, and asked for instructions, and approved a good show, at that time the ministers and others felt that the situation was wrong, there is no other, the matter of the Qianqing Palace is a matter of Wanlong He, and why do you need to ask the eldest brother for instructions, and although the eldest brother is a prisoner, according to the law, he cannot interfere with all matters of the internal prohibition, how can he give instructions indiscriminately, if this is the case, the sons dare not assert that the theft of the edict is the instigation of the eldest brother, But when Wan Long committed suicide before, he was crazy and perverse, saying that once the eldest brother took the throne, he would definitely use all kinds of guards to do things, this is not a blind fabrication, the guards in the palace and even those little eunuchs who sprinkled and swept can hear it clearly, if the emperor Ama does not believe it, and summons everyone to ask to know the root. ”
The third elder brother came prepared, and he was determined to pit Hongqing to death, how to say it strictly, when Emperor Chengde's face changed wildly.
"How so, how can it be, I, alas, I ......"
As soon as he heard what the third elder brother said, Chengde's face fell, and he only felt that his hard work was let down by Hongqing, and his sadness suddenly became great, and the whole person lost his spirit in an instant.
"Huang Ama, you have to take care of the dragon body, although the matter is out, fortunately it is not irreparable, if something happens to you, how can you tell your sons and others to deal with themselves, Huang Ama, your sons beg you."
Seeing that Emperor Chengde was sad like this, the third elder brother was not only not surprised, but secretly happy, of course, with his city and acting skills, this kind of joy would definitely not be brought to his face, but seeing that he made a sincere and frightened look, he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and mourned bitterly......
