915 A Life of a Legend 16.0
In the process of worshiping the heavens and ancestors, His Majesty the Emperor was attacked, which can be said to be a devastating blow that shook the entire court, which would cause panic and anxiety up and down Xijing. In order to prevent this panic from spreading in Xijing, Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde strictly ordered that no one should be allowed to leak the news, otherwise, they would be severely punished.
Fortunately, those who can come out to worship the heavens and ancestors together are all extremely sober human spirits, and they will not make trouble for themselves at such a critical moment, especially those princes of the royal family, who saw that Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde were really angry, and they were honest, and they didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal.
Thankfully, except for King Tong, everyone else, including Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde, were slightly injured, which was a great luck in misfortune.
But the situation in the palace is not particularly optimistic, almost half of it was destroyed by the fire, full of devastation, and it feels very sad to watch.
Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde discussed, and both of them felt that it was not very safe or convenient to continue to live here, and it was better for everyone to move to the mountains to live than to make do here.
There is an Huangding Temple on the mountain, which is more than enough to accommodate such a hundred or so people, but the layout in the room is not so comfortable, but there is no problem with safety, and there is no need to worry about any assassins coming uninvited.
"Huh?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Cha curiously, "The little masters of Huangding Temple are very good at kung fu?" ”
"Well, not only are they very powerful in kung fu, but they are also very powerful in formation, once they find an intruder, they will not let them leave alive." Shen Cha nodded, "The proposal of Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde was supported by everyone, and early the morning of the second day after the assassination took place, the group carried the necessary carry-on luggage and went up to Huangding Mountain under the escort of the guards. ”
"Where's Kirioh? How's he doing? It's not a big deal, right? ”
After a night, King Tong has woken up, although the knife is very deep, but it did not hurt the muscles and bones, only the flesh and skin, and it will be fine if you raise it quietly for two days. Emperor Chongde guarded him all night, and his face remained dark until he woke up. Kiriwang was placed on a soft couch, carried by four guards, and followed the back of the procession up the mountain. Emperor Chongde did not follow Emperor Jiaren, but continued to accompany King Tong, and the two chatted softly all the way, but it was not so boring. ”
"Is the process of worshipping the heavens and ancestors going well?"
"Smooth." Shen Cha nodded, "Except that the assassination on the first day was an accident, there was nothing else that went wrong. They feared a second assassination on the way back to Beijing, but the Assassin did not reappear. ”
As soon as Emperor Jiaren returned to Beijing, he handed over the case of this assassination to Emperor Chongde and King Tong to investigate. However, he knew very well in his heart that this assassination was not his mother's handiwork. The level of those secret guards cultivated by the Queen Mother's family is not half that of the assassins. Emperor Jiaren himself said that if the assassins did their best, none of these people who went to Huangding Mountain would be able to come back alive. Song Qiyun sighed softly, "However, although they agreed with Emperor Jiaren's words, Emperor Chongde and King Tong still chose to be the first to ask the old lady, in their opinion, the old lady's suspicion is very small, but she is a person with a criminal record, maybe she can ask something useful from her mouth." ”
"The result? It should be in vain, right? The man behind the scenes has always been secretive and does not play cards according to common sense, and the old lady may not know their details. ”
"That's right." Song Qiyun nodded, "Because of the previous blockade of news, the old lady didn't even know that they had been assassinated, and the old lady was very surprised to hear Emperor Chongde and King Tong tell the story of that night." ”
"Surprised?" Jin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, "If Emperor Jiaren, Emperor Chongde, King Tong, and this group of people from the royal family were stabbed to death because of this trip, wouldn't her plan succeed?" This is exactly what she wants, can she be happy? ”
"Emperor Chongde also asked." Shen Cha smiled helplessly, "The relationship between this family is too pathetic, they don't have any sincerity to each other, they are all hypocritical, and the old lady and her son and grandson don't even have false feelings." ”
"This is probably a common problem of the last dynasty, ordinary people's homes will lead to the destruction of their families, let alone the emperor's family!"
"That's right." Jin Miaomiao nodded towards Shen Cha, "But they should be like us, they can't find anything, right?" ”
"I checked for half a month, but I found nothing. Emperor Jiaren also knew that this was difficult for a strongman, and everyone who could suspect it had investigated it in detail, but none of them had subordinates as powerful as assassins, so they could only leave it alone and become an unsolved case. This case, until the death of Emperor Chongde and King Tong, did not have a real result. ”
"Obviously." Jin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, "So, what happened later?" ”
"At the palace banquet for the New Year, an official proposed that Emperor Chongde and King Tong were very old and should move out of the palace to live. Moreover, the two of them should no longer live together, but open separate mansions. ”
"This sounds like this, it actually makes a lot of sense, after all, brothers also have to live separately, and they can't live together forever."
Emperor Chongde and King Tong knew that this was a matter of course, and they had no reason to object, so they could only agree. However, Emperor Jiaren knew that the relationship between the two of them was very good, so he specially arranged two mansions next to each other, where they could open a small door in the wall and enter and exit freely. ”
"It seems that Emperor Jiaren really regards King Tong as his son, and I hope the two of them will have a better life."
"Well, there are indeed not many smooth days, and as soon as the two of them finished moving, something happened to the Zhen family."
"The Zhen family? That would-be princess? ”
"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "Mrs. Zhen suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away, and the prospective crown princess will have to keep filial piety for three years." ”
"Isn't that normal?" Jin Miaomiao frowned, "Emperor Jiaren is not happy?" ”
"It was the old lady who saw the opportunity to use this as an excuse to ruin the marriage contract and want to arrange her own person to marry Emperor Chongde."
"This is it!" Jin Miaomiao slapped her leg vigorously, and the force was a little big and a little painful. "I have always felt that something is wrong, I vaguely remember that when Emperor Chongde's health was not good, it was because of the concubine, I heard you say before, that Miss Zhen is knowledgeable, she is a reasonable and understanding person, I think it is very strange, I think she will not be the kind of person who poisons Emperor Chongde. Sure enough, there was an accident, was he really dismissed? ”
"There is no divorce, but Miss Zhen herself proposed that she needs to keep filial piety, and she can't occupy the position of the main concubine, she is willing to abdicate as a side concubine." Shen Cha shrugged, "As I said before, Miss Zhen is a person who has no interest in everything, and naturally she doesn't care about fame and fortune, whether it is the main concubine or the side concubine, it is the same in her eyes." However, she later regretted the incident, and if she hadn't agreed to take a step back, Emperor Chongde would not have been sick for decades, believing that it was all her fault. ”
