"Letter? What letter? ”

As soon as Song Jue took Song Qiyun, Song Jinyu and Bai Meng to the gate of the palace, they were blocked by the big palace maid beside the Queen Mother, and when they entered the palace gate, they went directly to the palace of the Queen Mother.

I greeted the Queen Mother, and before I could say a few words, I was shocked by what the Queen Mother took out.

"Where did this letter come from? How could there be such a thing in the palace all of a sudden? ”

Song Jue looked at the things in his hand, his brows furrowed tightly, the palace was heavily guarded, there were forbidden troops and soldiers from the patrol battalion on the surface, and there were shadows in the dark, so he didn't believe that anyone could break through such a line of defense and put the letter in the queen mother's bedroom.

"It's been a long time since the years passed, it should have been a long time ago, right?" Bai Meng still kept calm, he walked to Song Jue's side, glanced at the thing in his hand, and couldn't help but change color. "This ...... This is...... Didn't this thing be destroyed by the first emperor? Mother, this is ...... Did you save it yourself? ”

"What the first emperor destroyed, but only partially, there are still two letters left, one is in my hand, and the other is ......" the queen mother raised her chin, "in Chenchen's hand." She looked at Bai Meng, "Looking at it this way, the Grand Commander is also an insider?" ”

"No, I'm not an insider, I only know that such a thing exists, and I don't know what the contents are. But ......" Bai Meng pulled Song Jue and Song Qiyun to sit down, and sighed softly, "I guess it should be a very remarkable thing, when my grandfather and father received this letter, their faces were very ugly, and they didn't say a word, so they entered the palace with this letter." I remember very well that it was daytime when they entered the palace and came back on the night of the third day. During this period, the palace was still worried about me, who was still young at the time, and sent an elderly father-in-law to take care of me. When my grandfather and father returned, they were not in a good mood and looked very tired. ”

"And then?" Song Jue asked, "What happened later?" ”

"I don't know." Bai Meng shook his head gently, "I only know that during that time, the clans, important ministers, and nobles in Xijing were not particularly peaceful, and there were always some messy things happening, not the servants had quarrels because of some trivial things, and then turned into a fight, or the people of the side branch family were inexplicably injured or the like, although they did not hurt the fundamentals, but the continuous accidents were very responsive." This situation lasted for about two years and less than three years, and every mansion in Xijing seemed to have such an encounter, bad luck befell King Ning's mansion, and King Ning was demoted to a commoner after his rebellion, and he was confined to the imperial mausoleum, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without a recall. Half a year later, the Marquis of Wuding was accused of conspiring with the prince of Jin to commit treason, and committed suicide in the mansion of the Marquis of Wuding in Jiaping Guancheng. ”

"So, the source of these tragedies is this letter?" Song Jue had already opened the letter when Bai Meng spoke, "But there is nothing special written in it, just all the arrogant words, asking the father to abdicate, asking the children of the Song family to commit suicide on the east gate of the Xijing City, and asking all the important ministers of the Xijing City to be martyred for the children of the Song family." He sneered, "Assuming that this is a person who doesn't know the inside story, he must think that the person who wrote this letter must have lost his mind, and he will never take it to heart." ”

"It's really ridiculous, the first emperor and the princes, clans, important ministers, and nobles didn't really take the content of this letter seriously, but ......" Bai Meng glanced at the queen mother, saw her bow slightly, and continued, "For ten days in a row, every morning when I get up, such an envelope will appear next to the emperor's pillow, and the content of the letter is almost the same. ”

"Yes......" Song Jue pondered for a while, "This is a warning, tell my father that he has the ability to do it himself." ”

"That's what happened." Bai Meng nodded, "But I don't know why I changed my mind later, and I didn't do it myself, but tossed out those bad things that didn't hurt or itch." ”

"Nothing hurts or itches?" Song Jue shook his head lightly, "You also said just now, those things are not life-threatening, but they are human." Every now and then, he or they toss around enough to upset people. Thinking that my father and the other elders also had insight into their purpose, they let those little things go and seize the time to deal with them. In this way, Uncle Ning Wang and Aunt Ning are part of this coping method. He glanced at Bai Meng, "I checked my aunt's case before, and I flipped through the files of other cases during that time, which was really eye-opening for me." ”

"Is it the same as Mrs. Xue Hou's situation?"

"Well, with my father's discernment, it is absolutely impossible for the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to have so many unjust cases, unless ......"

"It was the first emperor who acquiesced." Bai Meng sighed, "Is it used to paralyze the other party?" ”

"I don't know yet, but eight or nine is not far from ten!" Song Jue sighed and turned her head to look at the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I have a question." At that time, although the guards of the palace were not as strict as they are now, the forbidden army and patrol battalion were not vegetarians, and the guards in the palace were the top of the best. He sneered, "I'm afraid that someone in the palace is pretending to be a ghost, right?" Where did my father first discover this letter? Is it here in the queen mother? ”

"It's not in the Queen Mother's house, but in the Shuguifei Palace."

"Concubine Shu?" Song Jue frowned, "She's not ......"

"That's right, Sister Guifei has always been timid, and she worships the Buddha all year round, so she can't do such a dirty thing. So, the first time something like this happened, it scared her. The Queen Mother sighed, "I don't know where she got the courage at that time, she took all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and sent the Inner Court Division to be strictly interrogated, but nothing was found." Later, where the first emperor stayed, there was this letter, and it was useless to even rest in the imperial study, and the letter was still received, which proved the innocence of the harem. ”

"Not necessarily." Song Jue shook his head gently, "Queen Mother, it may not be that the harem is really innocent, and it may not be that there are really no ghosts in the harem." The fact that the Inner Court Division did not come out does not mean that these people have no problems, it can only mean that the means of the Inner Court Division are not enough, or some people here are determined, he or they are sure that their side can succeed, and Daxia will definitely compromise, so they will grit their teeth and not say a word, which makes everyone misunderstand that they have wronged them. He reached out and touched his chin, "But what is this source of their confidence?" How can you believe that Great Xia will definitely do what they ask, or ......" He exchanged a look with Bai Meng and Song Qiyun, "Does Great Xia have any handle in their hands?" Otherwise, who is so stupid and stupid, who would spend so much effort and so much energy to do such a desperate thing with a bleak future and accidentally lose their lives? ”

"Brother Huang is right, there is another point. Song Qiyun had a calm face, "They definitely have a lot of manpower, otherwise, they can't put the letter on their father's pillow again and again." ”

"That's for sure." Song Jue nodded and looked at the Queen Mother, "So, Uncle Ning has been imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum for so many years, but he is actually investigating this matter?" Seeing the Queen Mother nodding, "But why him?" ”

"Because ......," the Queen Mother sighed, "this incident happened after he became a virtuous king and became famous, and those who died were more or less related to him." ”
