Chapter 66: The Secret

Emperor Jiaping had no sleep all night, and announced early the next morning that he had been exempted from the early dynasty and went to the palace of the Queen Mother.

This is already a rare thing.

For a long time, people outside felt that the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother's mother and son had a happy and deep relationship, but only the two of them knew that it had an impact.

That period of regency for the Empress Dowager meant restraint and repression for Emperor Jiaping, and he often felt breathless because of the Empress Dowager's strength and the persecution of the heavy homework cabinet.

So he has been fighting against the Queen Mother for a long time, even if it is a silent struggle.

When he was drafted, the Empress Dowager was still alive, and at that time, the Empress Dowager took a fancy to Empress Wei, but the Empress Dowager actually preferred another Taichang Siqing's daughter, Jiang Shi, and once asked him sideways.

He chose Empress Wei without hesitation and won the support of the Empress Dowager.

In fact, he became a grudge with Empress Wei, in fact, it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother, but he is used to attributing all unsatisfactory things to that time when everything is not autonomous, in his opinion, the result is not important anymore, the important thing is that during that time, everything he did was not what he wanted.

It is precisely because he was too ruthlessly suppressed when he was a teenager that Emperor Jiaping hated everything old-fashioned and old.

Including the conservative Empress Wei.

Including being pampered by him, he didn't dare to say anything, and continued to be a palace maid with a shrunken head.

He knelt in front of the Queen Mother, just like on the eve of the wedding, in order to choose another woman to enter the palace and kneel in front of the Queen Mother at the same time, his back was straight.

The Queen Mother did not reprimand him as harshly as before, nor did she tell him those long truths, she quietly looked at Emperor Jiaping for a while, and asked him in an almost gentle tone: "When you first got married, you spoiled Concubine Gong in my palace, at that time you were young and vigorous, even if Concubine Gong was pregnant, she resolutely refused to give her a name to lay the palace for her......."

Emperor Jiaping's face was a little pale.

"You don't give you the title of the only third son who has been born for a few words of crying for Sheng Guifei, you have to wait until Sheng Guifei is pregnant with the imperial heir, but Sheng Guifei is the first to be a princess......." The ridicule on the queen mother's face flashed, and the speed was so fast that it seemed to have never existed, and after a while, she raised her voice slightly and asked him: "What is the difference between your actions and the previous emperor and the late emperor of the previous dynasty to encourage Chen Guifei's arrogance and take the palace for her?!" ”

Yes, the Five Princes have never been the Five Princes.

According to his age, he should be the third son of the emperor in a dignified manner.

Especially when the first two sons died, he is the well-deserved eldest son.

He should have received the best education, and he should have gone out of the cabinet at the age of five.

But the problem is that because Emperor Jiaping was busy fighting with the Queen Mother to seize power at that time, and later he was busy cleaning up the old guys left over from the previous dynasty, so he didn't care about this at all.

And by the time he finally got it, it was too late.

The four princes had already been born at that time.

At that time, the relationship between him and Empress Wei reached a point where there was no way to turn around, and Empress Wei was almost abolished.

She desperately needs a child to stabilize her position, or rather to serve as a spiritual support.

But at that time, it was impossible for her to regenerate------ after giving birth to the little princess, her body became very bad, and later she became weaker because she took a lot of wrong medicines, and Emperor Jiaping almost didn't enter her palace at that time.

Empress Wei thought of the five princes, who were already about seven years old at that time, and broke into the Empress Dowager's palace to confront the emperor with this matter.

That was the last confrontation between the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

The result ended in the defeat of Emperor Jiaping.

Emperor Jiaping agreed to give Concubine Gong the title, but he was never allowed to reorder the teeth----- which is understandable, after all, if the teeth are reordered, then what will His Majesty the Emperor become? slept and even gave birth to a child and didn't give a name, if this is not the worst negative man in the people?

What about the child?

You can't have no name, you can't stuff it back and be reborn when it's so big, right?

In the end, this matter was solved by the celebrant and eunuch Chang Ying at that time, and Emperor Jiaping gave an idea to solve it------ since Concubine Gong was newly sealed, then the prince could also be born now! Let him be born now, not only follow the ass of the four princes as a small one, but also successfully solve the conditions of the queen mother and Empress Wei, isn't this a double win?

As for the four princes, they are still waiting to be fed, but the five princes are already seven years old?

Afraid of what?

The princes are raised in the deep palace, even if they want to invite the master to give a lecture, they will enter the palace to speak, and when the master says that the five princes look older than the four princes?

Afraid of what?

Young and old!

The question ended up with such a dramatic and absurd result.

Back then, in order to wipe Emperor Jiaping's buttocks, the former dynasty of the inner palace unanimously pretended to be deaf and dumb----- anyway, there were four princes, basically he was him, and there was no point in fighting for it.

But now something so absurd has happened.

The Queen Mother finally shouted Da Lang and scolded angrily: "You behave like this, how can you go down to see your father and grandfather in the future?!" ”

And how should we face the five princes?

Emperor Jiaping was speechless.

It was he who gave these eunuchs and concubines privileges, so much so that they took advantage of the loopholes.

He took a deep breath: "My son knows everything in his heart, and now the only way to do it is to set things right." ”

The Queen Mother immediately asked: "How to set things right?" This is a secret matter of the harem, and it cannot be made public in the slightest, otherwise it will become a laughing stock for future generations. How are you going to set things right?! ”

And the results were not long in coming.

On July 21, Sheng Ge Lao was imprisoned for murdering the four princes.

On the same day, Chang Ying, the eunuch of Dongchang, was also imprisoned for colluding with Sheng Ge Lao, framing Zhongliang, and collaborating with the enemy to commit treason.

On July 24, Sheng Ge Lao committed suicide in fear of crime in Nanzhen.

Chang Ying died of a serious illness in prison on July 30.

During this period, a number of court officials came forward to intercede on behalf of Sheng Ge Lao and asked for a thorough investigation of the case, and the results they got were all ----- without exception.

At first, it was a single fight, and when the scale became larger and larger, it was directly pulled to Zuo Shunmen to fight.

His Majesty the Emperor's determination was obvious, it was by no means thunder and rain, and after a counterattack, the voice of the elder Sheng Ge finally gradually disappeared, and it never appeared again.

On the fourth day of the eighth month, Sheng Guifei also fell ill because of the illness of the fourth prince, and the emperor ordered to summon a famous doctor to treat the concubine.

At the same time, the emperor was once again angry at the audacity of the Sheng family, and ordered the Sheng family to be full, all adult men were beheaded, all underage men were sent to Yunnan to fill the army, and all female dependents were not included in the teaching department.
