Chapter 62: The Absurd Prince Absurd was deposed
Jia Mi sent someone to give the handwritten letter to Dong Meng, and Dong Meng began to act.
The little chamberlain of the Shiqian Palace came to the East Palace and said that the emperor suddenly felt unwell, and the mother asked the prince to come over and take a look.
Although Sima Shu was a little ridiculous, when he heard that his father was sick, he immediately came to his father, Sima Zhen's palace.
Just as he was about to enter, he heard a very nice voice saying, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, slow down!" ”
Sima Shu was stopped, and when he turned around, he saw that it was a rather beautiful and charming-looking Gong'e.
Gong E performed the palace salute: "Slaves and maids see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Then he said: "Your Majesty has just fallen asleep after taking the medicine, and the imperial doctor said not to disturb Your Majesty for the time being, Niangniang asked the prince to rest with the slave maid to the side hall first, and then go in when His Majesty wakes up." ”
Sima Shu thought for a while: "Since my father is asleep, it's good that the dominatrix is gone." ”
So he followed Gong E into the side hall, and there were two palace maids carrying wine dendrobs and food boxes.
"Niangniang remembers His Royal Highness the Prince, and the special slaves and maids come to serve!"
"Your voice is so good, what's your name?" Sima Shu touched Gong'e's hand pouring wine and asked.
"Back to Your Highness, the slave's name is Chen Wu!" Gong E's face flushed slightly, and she replied shyly.
"Chen Wu, the name is so good, it's good for me to call you Wu'er."
Chen Wu nodded shyly.
"Come and drink a few lords with the prince!" Sima Shu stretched out his hand and hugged Chen Wu.
"Wu'er thanked His Highness, this is Du Kang who has just paid tribute, Your Majesty didn't wake up so quickly, Niangniang told His Highness to drink it."
Chen Wu deliberately put his face to Sima Shu's ear, and his breath was like an orchid, which made Sima Shu's heart itch, and he couldn't wait to reach out and hug Chen Wu.
And Chen Wu persuaded one by one.
When he was drunk, Chen Wu took advantage of Sima Shu's inattention, secretly stuffed the handwritten letter drafted by Pan Yue into his arms, and glanced at the palace people who came in to deliver the wine, and the palace people understood and retreated.
Not long after, a chamberlain came to report that His Majesty had woken up and wanted to see the prince.
And at this moment, Sima Shu was dazed by Chen Wu, and when he heard his father's summons, he staggered to his feet, staggered and walked a few steps as if he had the intention of falling, Chen Wu hurriedly helped him forward: "Your Highness, you are slow, be careful of falling!" ”
Sima Shu came to the Shiqian Palace, saw Sima Zhen, and asked Andao: "The sons see their fathers and mothers, and the sons hear that their fathers and emperors have a dragon body......"
Before he finished speaking, his body was unstable, as if he was about to fall, Chen Wu on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and pulled out the handwritten book in Sima Shu's arms.
Seeing this, Jia Nanfeng said with a sad and helpless expression: "It's okay for the prince to eat and drink and have fun, but now that your father is not in good health, you are still so ridiculous!" ”
At this time, Gao Yu, who was beside Emperor Hui, saw the things that the prince had dropped on the ground, and went over to pick them up, but when he saw the words on it, he couldn't help but glance at it, and suddenly showed a look of uneasiness, and hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness, your things have fallen." ”
After speaking, he stuffed it back to Sima Shu, and this Sima Shu asked in a daze, "What fell?" ”
At this time, Jia Nanfeng saw Gao Yu's performance in his eyes, and said quietly: "What did the prince lose?" ”
Gao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems to be a letter." ”
"Take a look."
"Letter? What letter? Where is the letter? Sima Shu's eyes were hazy and he burped.
Gao Yu sighed secretly and handed the letter to Jia Nanfeng.
Jia Nanfeng opened the letter and looked at it, was shocked, stood up, quickly moved her fleshy body, came to Sima Shu's face, and raised his hand to give Sima Shu a slap.
scolded in his mouth: "Shameless and rebellious, dare to rebel!" ”
Jia Nanfeng's slap stunned Sima Shu, and at the same time stunned Emperor Hui Sima Zhen, Sima Zhen said: "Niangniang, why is this? ”
Jia Nanfeng stuffed the letter to Emperor Hui and cried: "This rebel son not only wants to kill me, but also His Majesty!" ”
After reading the letter, Emperor Hui trembled his hands, and pointed at Sima Shu with a half-crying voice: "Son, sooner or later this world will be yours, you are so anxious, ignoring the emperor's love for you, someone came, and the prince was grounded in the East Palace." No one is allowed to approach the crown prince without the will of me and my mother. ”
At this time, Sima Shu was also frightened by the sudden situation, he didn't know what was written in the handwriting, only that he was disrespectful when he was drunk and drunk during his father's illness.
When it happened, it was already close to Yuanchen.
The joy of the upcoming New Year was not shrouded in the court, and Jia Nanfeng quickly summoned the princes, clan relatives, ministers of the three dukes, and generals with titles in Beijing to come to the Taiji Hall.
"Eunuch, pass the prince's handwritten letter to all the princes and all the secretaries." Jia Nanfeng ordered.
Dong Meng handed over the handwriting to the ministers to circulate, and brought a few pieces of the prince's daily handwriting for everyone to compare.
At this time, Dong Meng took out another edict, cleared his throat, and only read a short sentence in the vernacular: "The prince Sima Shu conspired against him and should be executed!" ”
At this time, Zhang Hua, who was the young master of the crown prince, heard that the prince was going to be executed, and he was worried that this would cause disputes in the world, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister thinks that there is still something strange about this matter, although this letter is no different from the prince's handwriting, but it is not excluded that some people imitate it, since the prince has this thought, why should he put the handwriting on his body and bring it to the palace, instead of passing it to the left guard of the East Palace, not to mention that Concubine Xie has been imprisoned for a long time, how to collude with the prince to rebel?"
Wang Yan saw that the son-in-law of the crown prince was detained for rebellion, although this son-in-law was not very angry, after all, he was also the prince, and he shared honor and disgrace, so he also hurriedly said: "What Sikong said is very true, this matter is indeed strange, and the mother still needs to pass on the left guard of the East Palace to lead the guard captain Liu Bian, and the prince's biological mother Concubine Xie to come to confront him!" ”
"It's okay, since the two Shoufu adults have this intention, then pass on the East Palace Left Guard to lead the guard captain Liu Bian, and the prince's biological mother, Concubine Xie." Jia Hou said with a dead expression.
Ministers, you say a word, some people feel that this matter is strange and needs to be investigated, some people look at Empress Jia's face, and the princes of the Sima family are silent and wait to see the changes, and Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, looks like a scheming and calculating.
About half an hour, an attendant ran back and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Liu Bian, the captain of the East Palace Left Guard, committed suicide by taking poison." ”
"What about Concubine Xie?"
"I also committed suicide by throwing myself into the ring!"
When the courtiers heard this, there was an uproar again, everyone shook their heads and sighed, at this time the ministers had already seen the clues, but some people still made some efforts for the prince.
Jia Hou looked around the court, saw that everyone was talking about it, and saw that Zhang Hua and several important ministers still had doubts about this matter, and she was afraid that it would not end well compared to the truth, so she used the strategy of delaying the army:
"The mood of all Aiqing is understood by this palace, this palace is not heartbroken, and His Majesty is even more sad to think about tea and dinner. Thinking that His Majesty had only one son, the crown prince was demoted to a concubine and sent to Kim Yong City. What does Your Majesty think. ”
Emperor Hui saw that Empress Jia spared the prince's life, and hurriedly said: "Okay, good, just follow Niangniang." ”
Seeing that Zhang Hua, Wang Yan and other ministers still wanted to continue to intercede for the prince, Jia Hou's face darkened: "Your Majesty has agreed, and will immediately issue an edict to the East Palace, if you do not accept it, you will be guilty of the same crime as the prince." ”
When the courtiers saw that the tide was turning, they stopped insisting.
And Zhang Hua saw that the prince's life was worry-free for the time being, so he thought that there was still hope, so he didn't say anything anymore.
