Chapter 9 Counter-Schemes
The Queen Mother slapped her palm on the table: "You still dare to quibble!" Chen Quan'an stepped forward and told the queen that you had found something. ”
Chen Quan'an stepped forward: "The guards and palace people retreat." ”
Ouchi's guards lined up, and the palace people followed closely behind, closing the door of the main hall.
The queen's arrogant expression could no longer be maintained, and her body trembled violently as she watched the guards and palace people withdraw from the palace.
Chen Quan'an continued: "This person is Huaiyun in Fengluan Palace, according to the records of the Inner Servant Province, Huaiyun is a person from Tuyao, the Tuyao area is close to the sea, and the people make a living from fishing and aquatic products. Four years into the palace, when entering the palace has passed the year of the weak crown. ”
"So what?" The queen asked.
Chen Quan'an was silent for a moment, and when she saw that the queen was no longer speechless, she said again: "Queen mother, the slave hasn't finished speaking." Both the slave and Zongzheng Siqing saw the corpse, and he cleaned himself before he died. ”
The queen froze on the ground, looking pitiful.
Emperor Xuanzhen sneered and took advantage of the situation to make trouble: "Chen Quan'an, order someone to invite Lord Taiwei into the palace, so that he can come and see his He family's good style, Taiwei's good daughter, and my good queen, how arrogant and lascivious in the harem is, and do all kinds of evil." ”
"This matter is all Concubine Rong's fault, and she is all in trouble, so why should it be on me. My father came, and I said the same thing. Your Majesty, you are so lustful and disregard the law of the country, a little concubine has designed to harm me three or four times, and even that little beast dares to ride on my head and show me my ugliness in public. Today, you still want to take the opportunity to unjustly kill me, and you have the ability to kill me with one sword. The queen's sudden shouting was so loud that everyone outside the hall could clearly hear her roar.
"Today I will fulfill you!" Emperor Xuanzhen got up angrily, stepped down the steps in two steps, rushed to General Xiao and pulled out his saber, and General Xiao was so frightened that he retreated again and again.
After Emperor Xuanzhen pulled out his saber, he raised his sword and slashed at the queen. When the queen saw the knife coming, she even crawled and hid back, Emperor Xuanzhen split an air, and then raised the knife to follow, pressing step by step.
The queen was so frightened that the ghost cried wolf, and shouted while crawling: "Help, come on, kill someone, the emperor is crazy, come and save the palace......"
This queen is also stupid, if she calls the emperor assassinated, the guards will naturally break into the palace to escort her. But what she called was that the emperor had killed someone and asked people to save her, who would dare to go in? Who would dare to save?
The guards listened to the queen's wolf howl and heart-rending cries for help in the palace, listened to the sound of jingling bells and objects smashing the ground, listened to Zongzheng Siqing and General Xiao dissuade and said, "Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty, stop your anger, Your Majesty ......", and listen to the dull sound of the knife slashing on the door frame, window sill, and pillar, they can all imagine how lively and chaotic this palace is. But no one outside the hall wanted to go to this troubled water, and secretly prayed in their hearts that the emperor or General Xiao would not let them in.
All kinds of things in the hall are chopping and smashing. The wig bun on the queen's head was cut to the ground by the emperor, and the hairpin ring was scattered all over the ground. The queen had no way to hide, and Emperor Xuanzhen was obviously red and crazy in front of her.
The queen had to climb in front of the queen mother and kowtow, hit her head on the ground and banged: "The queen mother saves the concubine, the concubine knows that she is wrong, the queen mother saves the concubine, the concubine knows that she is wrong......"
The Queen Mother said sternly: "Since you know your mistakes, can you admit punishment?" ”
"Confess, confess, confess, the concubine admits punishment, as long as you don't kill the concubine." The queen's chicken continued to knock as if it were pecking rice.
The Queen Mother's face turned around at this time, and she said to Emperor Xuanzhen: "Emperor, stop, the queen has already made a mistake." What do you want the queen to do to spare her life? ”
Emperor Xuanzhen was out of breath, picked up a high chair from the ground, and was about to sit down, but found that this high chair was missing a foot, so he had to push the chair away and said: "After my son is going to be abolished, I can't tolerate this kind of poisonous woman in my harem." Chen Quan'an, wrote He Wanqiu's guilt and drew a picture for her. ”
Chen Quan'an, who had just disappeared from nowhere, came out of nowhere: "Obey." ”
The queen gritted her teeth with hatred. But now that the knife is in the emperor's hand, he is really at a loss, and he doesn't dare not save his life without being obscene.
When Chen Quan'an showed the guilt to the queen, seeing that the ink had been completely dry, the queen suddenly came to her senses.
Okay, these people colluded and played a big play for her, and the confession had already been written, but after the play was over, she lost her mind and drew in a daze, and her crime was settled.
The queen tore the confession to pieces, and after laughing a few times, she stood up, sorted out her embarrassed makeup and hair, and walked over in front of Emperor Xuanzhen with her head held high: "If you want to add to the crime, I won't draw a charge." You don't have evidence, just rely on a eunuch who has been castrated twice to convict the palace, it's ridiculous. ”
Emperor Xuanzhen didn't expect her to see so quickly that this was a game. lost the manic momentum he had just had: "What second castration?" ”
The queen wiped her tears, waved her sleeves and said, "You can send someone to my palace now to see if those servants have all mended a knife." Since the insult to the palace maid in Shanyue Wopu, the concubines are afraid that there will be such a mistake again, and the servants in my palace have made up for it again to eliminate their thoughts. Speaking of which, I understand why this Huaiyun changed his mind to murder the princess, he was originally a eunuch, and the princess also let him be stabbed for no reason, who doesn't hate her? It's just that some people are bold and some are timid. The timid did not dare to move, and the bold seized the opportunity to move. Tell me, who can blame? The sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of oneself cannot be lived. With that, the queen burst out laughing.
The emperor was angry, thinking that this jealous woman was really cunning and vicious, so he killed her first, and the court wanted to deal with it again, and was about to raise the knife to cut her stretched neck, but before the knife was lifted, an old and majestic voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister He Borong, the goddaughter has no way, and I have come to your majesty to confess the guilt and ask your majesty to blame the old minister." ”
When the Queen Mother heard He Borong plead outside the hall, her body was shocked, and her heart sank, and she knew that today's matter could not be done.
Sure enough, after announcing He Borong's entry into the palace, He Borong first bowed to the emperor and the queen mother, and then bowed to the queen.
Seeing the queen's embarrassed appearance and the mess all over the ground, the thousand-year-old demon just frowned, bowed and said earnestly: "The old minister was on the way to the palace, and he listened to his father-in-law tell him the ins and outs of the matter. The old minister thought about it, only one person was at fault in this matter, and that was the fault of the old minister, it was the old minister who did not raise his daughter well, sat in the position of the mother of the country, but could not properly manage the affairs of the harem, and was cowardly and unable to restrain the subordinates, so that the villain took advantage of the evil and murderous intentions, and almost killed the princess. This is all the minister's fault, let the minister apologize for his death today. ”
After that, he slammed into the pillar beside him, and when everyone was stunned, he was stopped by General Xiao and committed suicide.
Things have come to this, their father and daughter are sophistry, and they have passed the blame for murdering the princess and fornicating in the harem, except for one crime of negligence and dereliction of duty. There is no actual evidence in the hands of Emperor Xuanzhen.
Emperor Xuanzhen glanced at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother shook her head helplessly.
Emperor Xuanzhen sighed and said: "The crime of dereliction of duty and negligence is also to be punished heavily, the princess has already been assassinated once, and today is her birthday and she suffered this big crime again." If it weren't for the queen's poor leadership of the harem, and General Jin Wuwei Xiao was derelict in his duties, how could this disaster happen. Now, I want the queen, Taiwei He and General Xiao to make a promise to make a life and death situation, if the princess dies in the palace. Captain He, the Empress, and General Xiao will take your lives against the princess's life. I don't believe it, you people can't even take care of a child. If you can't do it, now you will all resign and go back to the countryside to farm. ”
The three of them looked at each other, Emperor Xuanzhen's move was to retreat into advance, which really made it difficult for the three of them to ride a tiger and were powerless to refuse.
