Chapter 393: The Secret of the Deep Palace
Summer is the most beautiful time of the year. The women of Yuantai all changed into refreshing Luo clothes and sang on the field where wild flowers were blooming.
Located outside the Imperial City Cheng'en Hall in the middle of Shangjing, the eunuchs and palace maids were all trembling at the moment, not daring to raise their heads, and their ears were full of the roar of His Majesty the Emperor.
In the Chengen Palace, kneeling on the ground at this moment are the third prince Sheng Lianzhang and the tenth prince Sheng Lian'an.
"So your men exchanged the sand for all that food?"
Sheng Lianzhang hurriedly said: "Father's anger is relieved! The grain in that basement was enough to eat for half a year, even if it was only half of it, it was enough to eat for three months. In an ordinary war, there is no reason to eat up half a year's grain at once. Erchen, this is not thinking that the autumn harvest will be soon, and when the autumn harvest is brought in new grain, then the sand will be quietly replaced. In this way, it will not delay the rations of the army. ”
Bah! Sheng Jun spat angrily: "You think I don't know that you have a good plan." Where did that half of the grain go? You've gotten it out of your private vault! This year, when the harvest is scarce, it will be used for usury or sold at two or three times the price. In the autumn harvest, you will sell new rice at a lower price to replace it. This handover is small, but there are millions of taels of silver in profit! Do you think you can really hide from the sea? ”
Sheng Lianan usually has no ability, relying on himself to be the queen's concubine, but when he encounters guilt, he is also the first to admit the fourth: "Father, spare your life!" Erchen knew he was wrong. Erchen is willing to donate all the money he earns. It's just that I've done this before, and I've never had an accident, at most, when the food is too late to change, there is still some sand left, so I quickly find someone to discuss, and after ten and a half months, it's all replaced. Who knew that the grain depot could be set on fire this time. Father, the son has absolutely no intention of framing the governor of Qiao, and if he kills the son, the son will not dare! ”
"Listen to what you mean, this is not the first time this has been done! No wonder it was grabbed by Qiao Fang! Sheng Jun sneered, "Now Qiao Fang is holding on to this matter, and he has to distinguish between right and wrong!" Am I going to push you all out and behead you, so that the people are angry? ”
"Your Majesty, let's behead the concubine first." The queen's voice came from outside the Cheng'en Palace.
Sheng Jun frowned: "Who asked you to move the queen?" Who has so many mouths! ”
The queen had already stepped in alone, and said to her two sons, "Go down first, both of you." ”
If the two princes were amnestied, they hurriedly thanked them and withdrew from the Cheng'en Palace.
"Why is the queen here?" Sheng Jun pretended to be confused.
"If the concubines don't come again, the two sons will be killed."
"These two things that don't grow are spoiled by you. Now it's a big deal to enter the Ning Kingdom! ”
"Isn't that right? gave His Majesty a reason to dispose of our mother and son. Your Majesty has long looked at our mother and son unpleasantly, right? ”
"What's that?" Sheng Jun's tone softened significantly.
"Where's the word? I'm afraid that Your Majesty knows better than anyone else, right? His Majesty has only thought about Hui'an Palace for so many years. ”
"Hu! Why did you climb to the Queen Mother again? Child! ”
Empress Li ignored it and continued her topic: "The concubine heard that the queen mother's skin was as white as snow when she was young, and her body exuded the fragrance of jasmine. So after birth, he was named Mo'er. ”
"It's all a lie."
"Ouch." Li chuckled and said, "It seems that Your Majesty has really seen that the skin is not so white, and if you really smell the body, it is not so fragrant?" ”
"Queen! These words don't fit your identity! Sheng Jun stopped sharply.
"Identity? Do concubines have status? Everyone in this palace only knows that there is a queen mother! The officials of the foreign dynasty only know that there is the Qiao family and the prince! There are some words that the concubine has endured for decades. Now I'm not afraid to tear my face out! Listen, Your Majesty and Qiao Mo'er are childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses, and they have already made a private decision for life. Who knew that at a horse racing conference, Qiao Mo'er's heroic appearance was favored by the emperor and insisted on including Qiao Mo'er in the harem. In order to appease Your Majesty, I picked our two sisters from the Li family and gave them to Your Majesty. Pity our sisters, who have been in the palace for decades, and what they get is actually just an empty shell of Your Majesty! Your Majesty has never forgotten that Mo'er in his heart! ”
"Enough! It's all a beard! Sheng Jun interrupted Li.
Li made up his mind to make trouble: "This is called Hu? There are even more unbearable ones. Don't your majesty want to hear it? It is rumored that this prince is not the son of the former emperor at all, but the son of His Majesty. That's why His Majesty promised the emperor to appoint his younger brother as the prince. ”
"Shut up!" Sheng Jun smashed a tea bowl!
"What happens if you don't shut up? Is Your Majesty going to abolish the concubines? Or do you want hundreds of people from our Li family to come to the funeral of the concubines? Your Majesty, the concubines have had enough! I have endured humiliation for decades. What I can't get, Qiao Mo'er can't think of it! She has done it as the queen, she has also done it as the queen mother, and her son has become the prince again. What about concubines? The concubine is also the queen, why does the concubine's son have to kowtow to others! Why can't the son of the Empress of the Shogong be the crown prince! Isn't that justified? Where is our Li family worse than the Qiao family? What's wrong with mixing some stones into Qiao Jiajun's food? I just want to make the battle of the Qiao family unable to continue, and I want to make Qiao Mo'er's son unable to sit in the position of the prince! ”
"You're crazy, aren't you? Is the big thing of Lichu something that you can casually discuss as a woman? "Sheng Jun is obviously not angry, does he take the loss?
"If Your Majesty punishes the son of the concubine, you will punish the concubine and our Li family." Li Shi gambled on the air.
The Li family is rich and rich, and the queen can be abolished, Sheng Jun called the palace maid: "The queen is unwell, send her back to the palace to recuperate, and ask the imperial doctor to take the pulse." ”
"Your Majesty, either 50 boards on each side; Either that's it. If anyone can't get along with the son of the concubine, the concubine will also be let out! The queen threw down a sentence and left angrily.
The emperor threw all the remaining tea bowls on the table.
Sheng Jun's anger had not subsided, and a palace maid came to report: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has an urgent matter to ask Your Majesty to discuss." ”
"Got it!" Sheng Jun still dragged on for an hour before slowly coming to Hui'an Palace.
The women in the palace seemed to have discussed it, and all of them spoke in such a rushing tone: "The emperor is so calculating!" The Queen Mother said this in her head.
"What does the Queen Mother mean by this? I don't know. ”
"Hehe, Your Majesty doesn't know?" The Queen Mother pointed to the quiet surroundings, "Now that there are only you and me here, there is no need to hide it, right?" 166 Reading Network
