Chapter 247: The Missing Secret Decree
I don't know if it's because of pregnancy, Zhou Jinhuan has been very uncomfortable recently.
Although she knew the situation very well, she always had no energy to deal with it, and she still listened to the government with a curtain on this day, but found that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
The first to speak was the ephemeris, saying that the North Star was flickering brightly and darkly, indicating that the world was uneasy.
The North Star and the Purple Microstar are both symbolizing the world and the emperor, so they are extremely sensitive.
Are you saying that Zhao Yu has just died, and the world is not at peace, or does it mean something else?
A sarcastic smile hung on the corner of Zhou Jinhuan's mouth, maybe she should ask, otherwise how could they say?
"What does Aiqing mean by this, but there is a warning from heaven?" she pretended to be very frightened, and the panic that a thin layer of gauze could not hide.
"Weichen heard that there is a secret decree left in the emperor's imperial study, I don't know how the queen mother explains this?"
"Bold, what an important place is the imperial study, how can you enter?" Zhou Jinhuan's current status is noble, and the ephemeris order can only kneel after hearing it, but the turning point also happened at this time, Yang Ming made a move: "The queen mother is pregnant with a dragon heir, and she is deeply favored by the emperor, if there is any secret edict, how can she not show it and hide it?"
Every sentence of Yang Ming's words seemed to be helping Zhou Jinhuan, Zhou Jinhuan just smiled, waiting for another person to play a double reed with him, and that person jumped out faster than she imagined, it was the counselor Tao Ran.
He is not young, has a goatee, and looks very amiable, but such a person, once he does it, it really kills.
"The Prime Minister is right, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty believe that the Queen Mother will not hide any secret decrees, but now if this ephemeris order is pushed out to ask for beheading, I am afraid that the rumors will spread out, and the things that have no shadow will be passed on to be true, and when the time comes, I am only afraid that the reputation of the Queen Mother will be damaged, and I hope that the Queen Mother will think twice. ”
Tao Ran's words are very reasonable, and everything sounds like she is thinking about her, the queen mother, if she doesn't listen, she will be bored.
These days, she has seriously thought that she will have to face such a result sooner or later when she sits in this position.
Orphans and widows are the most pitiful, and she is now just a pregnant queen mother, and the child in her belly doesn't even know the gender, who can be convinced, who doesn't want to bully it?
"Prime Minister Yang, what do you think?" she pretended to be a little tangled, and asked Yang Ming tentatively, Yang Ming was silent for a while, and then said: "Since the Ephemeris Order can hear such rumors, it means that someone is paying attention to this matter, and the Queen Mother might as well let those people with ulterior motives die." ”
The words were very nice, but Zhou Jinhuan sneered, she actually wanted to know the result, after all, the imperial study was an extremely important place, how could someone put the so-called "secret decree" in it?
"That's okay, the mourning family will let you go to the imperial study together to find out. Zhou Jinhuan got up, and His Royal Highness's ministers also followed him to the palace.
Zhou Jinhuan, as the person concerned, did not enter the imperial study, but waited outside the palace with those ministers and asked the guards to search.
The thing was quickly searched, and Xiao Mencius looked at the cyan secret decree, and then at Zhou Jinhuan, a little confused.
The secret decree about Zhou Jinhuan was given to Xiao Mencius by Zhao Yu himself, and now the secret decree that appears does not know where it came from, the pen and ink and handwriting seem to be true, but the content is very different.
"Gonggong Meng, it's better for you to read this secret decree. Yang Ming finally showed his fox tail at this time, for him, everything was under his control, and he didn't need to pretend to be anything.
Xiao Mencius intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the secret decree, but technically speaking, this could not be said to be false, but the secret decree was not the same as the one given to him by Zhao Yu himself, and he was really difficult.
"Father-in-law Meng, don't be afraid, just read what you see. It was Tao Ran who said this, Xiao Mengzi's hand holding the secret decree trembled a little, he obviously felt the pressure, and raised his eyes to see Zhou Jinhuan's shallow smile, she seemed to know everything, but she didn't put any pressure on him, because she didn't look at him at all.
"The slave has never seen such a secret decree at all, and the secret decree of the Queen Mother was handed over to the slave by the former emperor himself, so this secret decree must be fake. In the end, little Mencius obeyed his heart and spoke all the words, and he knew better than anyone what was waiting for him.
"This secret decree was found in the imperial study, and the handwriting is also the emperor's, and it is also stamped with the national seal, Gonggong Meng, you are making a big joke, right?" Tao Ran spoke a little aggressively, Yang Ming stopped him, and said very gently: "This Gonggong Meng has been with the emperor for the longest time, but I am afraid that I have my own careful thoughts, and I can't say it, if I ask the queen mother to take out the secret decree given to you by the emperor, you can see the truth and falsehood by comparing it." ”
Since Yang Ming can say such a thing, it means that there is something wrong with her secret decree, but does she have a reason not to agree, obviously not.
"That's okay, Wan'er, you go to the other palace and bring the secret decree. Zhou Jinhuan didn't see a little panic, Yang Ming was confident, many of the officials present wanted to take the opportunity to slap Yang Ming, and this was the time for them to show their skills.
Zhou Jinhuan just listened and didn't say anything, and the people stopped jumping for a while.
Su Wan came from the other palace, her face was full of gloom: the secret decree was really gone.
There is nothing strange about this, since Yang Ming can let people put the secret decree in the imperial study, what is the difficulty of stealing her secret decree?
"You, yes, just you, read the secret decree of the emperor. Chang Xi, who had been standing on the side, was named by Yang Ming, Chang Xi first looked at Xiao Mencius cautiously, and then read it aloud.
It was a completely different secret decree that Zhao Suo should inherit the throne.
"Queen Mother, what else do you have to say now?" Yang Ming stepped forward, Zhou Jinhuan did not retreat, but met his gaze in front of him: "The prime minister is a good method, but the mourning family's means are not as good as you, so I am willing to bow down." ”
Obviously, she was saying soft words, but her expression was so proud, that kind of pride made Yang Ming feel that he had been insulted, if it weren't for the presence of such ministers, he would definitely do it, and now, he could only hold back his anger: "Concubine Sin, you are falsely spreading a secret edict, vainly trying to change the day, the sin is unforgivable!"
This was the ending she planned, she didn't do anything to resist, and when Zhang Zilang was about to make a move, she glanced at him.
"Come on, pull this concubine down and hand it over to Dali Temple. Yang Ming didn't want to see this woman, and she was pregnant with the child of the former emperor, so she was afraid that she would provoke the anger of the public, so it was better to put her in Dali Temple.
It is too normal for someone to die in Dali Temple.
In this way, Zhou Jinhuan, who was originally the queen mother, became a prisoner, and Yang Ming sent the secret decree to Mingzhou, just waiting for the six-year-old boy Zhao Suo to enter Beijing, and Yang Ming could coerce the Son of Heaven to command the world.
The military forces of Lu Qingxin, Zhang Zilang and Tang Mi did not move, and if Yang Ming was still a little vigilant, he should have noticed that this palace change was too smooth.
Or maybe he thinks that Zhang Zilang is his own group, and Tang Mi also accepted his gift, the ministers in the palace are only looking forward to him, his success is inevitable, there is nothing to be wary of.
Who knows?
The entire palace changed Tang Mi was present, he saw everything, but he also acquiesced to everything, and when he returned to the courtyard, he saw Qi Rujin with an expectant face.
"How is Jin Huan now, those people with black hearts didn't embarrass her, right?" Rujin took Tang Mi's hand, Tang Mi heard the two sons of "Jin Huan" before he had time to be sweet, he didn't like Zhou Jinhuan, even now.
"What can she do, it's just that she was calculated by Yang Ming, and now she is in prison. Tang Mi admitted that he said this on purpose, Rujin became nervous, took her hand a little tighter, and leaned his face to him: "Under the prison, didn't Zhao Yu leave a secret decree?"
"There are many twists and turns in the middle, anyway, now she is in prison in Dali Temple. Tang Mi glanced at Rujin, and Rujin slapped him on the arm: "Didn't you promise that I would keep Jinhuan, you should be a fart when you speak?"
Rujin said this too rudely, but Tang Mi laughed, I don't know when her little willfulness became cute in his eyes.
"Zhou Jinhuan and Zhang Zilang have a lifelong friendship, even if I don't move, he will move, do you need to be so nervous?" Tang Mi's fluttering words made Rujin even more angry, and he was about to get angry, but he encircled her in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Teasing you, I don't like Zhou Jinhuan, but what I promised you will definitely be done, not to mention that she is pregnant with Zhao Yu's child, I can't sit idly by." ”
"You'd better remember your own words, or I'll ......" Before Rujin finished speaking, Tang Mi gently bit her ear, and then said, "Otherwise, you will leave with little Tang, right?"
Earlier, when Tang Mi accepted Yang Ming's gift, Rujin said something like this, he remembered it clearly, and she pouted: "It's good that you know." ”
Tang Mi wanted to save Zhou Jinhuan, but his movements were slower, and Zhang Zilang's movements were much faster than him.
After going to the court, Zhang Zilang went directly to the Mengji pastry shop after going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Hei Laosan has not been involved in the affairs of the court for a long time, especially after Zhao Yu's death, I didn't expect to hear the news of Zhou Jinhuan this time, or such a hot news.
"I'll go to Dali Temple to help you get those people away, and you will be responsible for rescuing them. ”
Zhou Jinhuan has just entered Dali Temple now, and it is the time when the defense is the strongest, he shouldn't be so abrupt, but there is no way, Zhou Jinhuan is no one else, he can't let her suffer.
Zhang Zilang went to Dali Temple and chatted a lot with Dali Temple, since Kong Fan stepped down, his relationship with Yang Ming has become clear, and now anyone knows Yang Ming's power, and he can speak in front of Yang Ming, and it is normal for him to stammer.
