Chapter 226: Past and Present Lives (Part II)
In recent days, the little emperor has made mistakes in the court one after another, which has displeased the ministers, and even pointed out that the little emperor is still young and embarrassed to take on a big responsibility, and the queen mother is shallow and ashamed to listen to the government.
Immediately afterwards, the people who supported King Youming led by Jiang Yi formed their own faction in the court, and took out the laws and old practices of the previous dynasty as a whole to make things difficult for the little emperor.
The Queen Mother has no choice, and Gu Heting is also embarrassed, he has always only hoped that he can honestly act as a gentleman at home, and he is not interested in any political situation.
In the end, in order to avoid suspicion, Gu Heting invited him to go home, and the Queen Mother naturally wished that he would get out of here quickly, so as to calm down the chaos in the court as soon as possible, but this matter not only did not get better, but also gave the courtiers an additional handle, saying that the Queen Mother exploited the royal family and wanted to take power alone.
The ridiculous thing is still behind, the stargazing platform, which has been abandoned for half a year, rang the Jingyang bell early in the morning, saying that the emperor star is changing, and he is afraid of causing trouble, which makes the people restless for a while.
And Gu Heting, the protagonist of this good show, is idle at home and hugs the beautiful woman all day long to listen to the little song and fight the grasshopper, and the life is more leisurely, but the only thing he can't figure out is why those officials who had nothing to do with him before turned against him overnight, and praised themselves in the court one by one.
"Lord Wang, the guards patrolling the city came to report, saying that they caught a sneaky person at the gate of the palace, and they are not easy to deal with, please decide." The little guy came through the front door and brought the latest news.
Gu Heting touched his head, thinking that he might have been in the limelight too much recently, and he had to discuss anything big or small. "This was originally a matter for the governor of the capital, how did it fall on the shoulders of this king."
The little servant bowed and replied: "I heard that man said that he is the cousin of the Queen Mother, and the governor is also afraid of offending the Queen Mother, so he came to ask you for an idea." ”
Zhu'er on the side interjected appropriately: "Lord, as far as I know, the Queen Mother does have a cousin, but she has already left Beijing to take office, why did she suddenly come back." ”
This caused Gu Heting to be suspicious, if he was really the queen mother's cousin, something must have happened if he returned to Beijing rashly, "Then the king will let them go." ”
Zhu'er nodded slightly, signaling him to come back early, and went back to the room with two military books in his hand.
Gu Heting didn't go out for a stick of incense, and many people came to the palace saying that the queen mother had invited the princess into the palace to give a lecture, and her tone was very domineering.
Zhu'er naturally understands that she can't hide from the fifteenth day of junior high school, and she has almost done what she should have done these days, and it should be time to meet this old man.
Walking on the familiar palace road, the palace maids on both sides retreated, and all the leaves of the sycamore trees in front of the palace gate had fallen, which seemed to imply that this power struggle was nearing the end.
In the dormitory, the Wang family sat in the front hall with a luxurious and heavy phoenix crown and a Ming Huang palace uniform, as if he intended to show off his current brilliance to Zhu'er.
Just a hurried glance, the Queen Mother sneered contemptuously: "Who is the mourning family so bold to instigate King Youming to gather people's hearts and play tricks, it turns out to be an old acquaintance." ”
Seeing that Zhu'er didn't kneel, the queen mother's eyes moved, and the palace maid who brought her understood and kicked Zhu'er's hind legs. That strength, I guess I can kick the bull all the time.
Zhu'er didn't support it, and knelt straight down.
Seeing her so embarrassed, the Queen Mother continued to taunt her with satisfaction, as before.
"Jiang Shu, you have already escaped from the Ascension Heaven and lived your leisure life in peace, isn't it? Why do you want to come back and fight with the mourners? ”
Of course, she didn't want Jiang Shu to answer this question, after all, which mortal woman can refuse fame, fortune and power, Jiang Shu is naturally the same.
Human beings are greedy by nature.
"Hmph, don't expect Gu Heting to save you today, it's a big crime to enter the palace without being summoned."
Jiang Shu did not deny her identity, she was indeed a concubine of the previous dynasty.
At that time, the queen mother forced the concubine to commit suicide in order to conceal the truth, and she had no choice but to pretend to be a palace maid to escape.
was already dying, but I didn't expect King Youming to really take the bait......
Since God didn't let her die with those hard-working women, he wanted her to expose the secrets of the Wang family!
Although she knelt, her tone was not weak at all, and her words were like a rainbow.
"It's a big sin to be unsummoned to the palace, so it's not a big sin to confuse the royal bloodline? This world is the world of the Gu family, what does it have to do with you? How long do you think you'll get away with it? ”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother's pupils froze, and she couldn't see what the look was on her face, but she just beckoned, and the two grandmothers rushed up to restrain Jiang Shu, and another guard walked step by step with a hemp rope.
Jiang Shu naturally understood what this femme fatale was going to do, she stared at everything in front of her and gritted her teeth, and even the best face on weekdays lost her blood.
"The mourning family is now the queen mother, not only can she assist in the harem, but also stabilize the court, do you think now, what qualifications do you have to fight against the mourning family?"
"Whoosh-"
An arrow came from a distance and pierced the guard's chest, and the guard fell to the temple, bleeding in an instant.
The familiar figure hurriedly walked over, only to see Gu Heting overturn the two grandmothers and help Zhu'er up.
He frowned and waited for Wang, and his tone was completely respectful to the United States and Europe.
"What is the royal sister-in-law doing? Broke into my brother's mansion, kidnapped my beloved wife, and now I want to kill people! ”
The Queen Mother didn't know that King Youming dared to commit such a crime, so she panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to refute.
"King Youming, don't be deceived by her, she is not called Zhu'er, she is the emperor's Jiang Guifei, the Jiang beauty who was brilliant in the world back then, and Jiang Yi, the prime minister of the dynasty, is her father, everything she does has ulterior motives!"
Gu Heting didn't look a little surprised, as if he had predicted it in advance, but just questioned her coldly.
"I don't have to worry about the identity of my woman, I just want to ask you, whose son is this saint today?"
"Ridiculous, of course it's your imperial brother's son, King Youming, don't listen to the lies told by this slut and provoke the relationship between your uncle and nephew!"
"Then this person's sister-in-law can be known."
Then a man in shackles was tied up and pressed against the temple.
Wang Shi only glanced at the man and was so frightened that his legs went weak and spread out on the chair, and at this time, Gu Heting didn't give her a chance to say.
"I have sent someone to pick up the Empress Dowager, confusing the royal family, and putting the Empress Dowager under house arrest, these two charges are enough to give you a capital offense."
After the words were closed, the guards came with the message of the empress dowager and sent the Wang family to the prison together with the little emperor.
At this time, Zhu'er breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the mahogany chair on the side, and faced Gu Heting, who already knew the truth, and for a while she didn't know what to say.
"Lord Wang...... Now that you know it, what are you going to do with the slaves? ”
Seeing that she had changed her previous charm and became a little cramped, Gu Heting became interested.
"Aren't you afraid of heaven and earth, dare to seduce this king in front of Shangyang Palace, why didn't you expect this to come out."
Hearing what he said, she should have known Jiang Shu's identity a long time ago, she was slightly shocked and didn't know what was wrong, "You already knew?" ”
"With your appearance and intelligence, you are definitely not a palace maid, I ordered someone to enter the palace and transfer your classics, and there is no record of you in the palace."
Of course, there is more than that, such as appearing in the hunting ground wearing a veil, coaxing the little emperor's favorite food, and sending a white fox with only one breath left to her arrows. Not to mention those rumors, her father raised public voices outside, and she used her palace connections to cause controversy, just to reveal the secrets of the Wang family and let him sit the emperor naturally.
But he still didn't know anything, Gu Heting approached her and asked: "You are so arranged, this king also wants to see what you want to do, but I don't know that such a big show is involved behind this scene, how did you know that the emperor is not the blood of the emperor's brother?" ”
Jiang Shu pursed his lips, as if he was ashamed to speak, and only after half a sound did he tell the whole story.
"The emperor has been a fictitious harem when he was there, except for the prescribed festivals to go to the queen's palace on weekdays, he simply regarded us as nothing, and by chance I learned that the emperor had raised a group of male pets in the palace...... So just follow the vine. ”
"So you let out the rumor that the Wang family wants to kill her cousin, and let him rush back to the capital to get justice, you are sure that the governor of Kyoto will send him to me."
The woman chuckled, seducing all beings as before, which was shocking.
"The prince is really a smart person, Jiang Shu's carving insect skills are really not eye-catching."
Gu Heting looked fascinated, but there was no expression on his face: "There will never be Jiang Shu in the world from now on." ”
Her heart sank, and she understood that playing with power was a serious crime, and besides, she was still a concubine, so she should have been a dead person. She slowly knelt down, bowed, and pleaded.
"It's not a pity for Jiang Shu to die, but I beg the prince to let go of my mother's family!"
Gu Heting raised his eyebrows, "Who said that this king wants you to die, from now on you have only one identity, and that is my queen." ”
He stepped forward slowly, hooked his hand and took the woman into his arms and kissed her.
Zhu'er turned her sorrow into joy, and said with tears in her eyes: "Concubine thank Your Majesty Longen!" ”
Gu Heting took her hand and kneaded it in his hand, smiling like a child who has won a treasure.
"Actually, this king also has a secret that you don't know."
Zhu'er looked sideways, not understanding what he meant.
"Although I don't know about Kyoto's affairs at the border, I have heard of Jiang Guifei's world-class reputation, once I slipped back to the capital with a few brothers, and I looked at you from a distance in the palace."
There was a smile in the corner of his eyes, and there was a sense of pleasure that he had succeeded in his plan.
"You ......"
It turned out that she already knew who she was, and her own scenes were just carried out by his acquiescence.
"Such a graceful and beautiful woman who everyone loves...... It's unforgettable. ”
As his tone changed, he hugged the pearl in his arms tighter.
"It turns out that the person who has been kept in the dark is me."
