Chapter 66: The Prince Is Poisoned? The Queen Mother's decree

"Have you found out the origin of the squire? Was it instructed? He still couldn't believe that Xiao Chuhe would do such a thing, and he was excusing him when he opened and closed his mouth.

He is not the only one, more than half of the ministers in the DPRK and the central government do not believe it! Hearing the prince say this, they immediately looked at Dali Siqing with anticipation.

Prime Minister Cui Cheng saw all this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly despise himself: Heh, a group of stubborn! Who can keep the people the emperor wants to do! If the emperor is disliked because of this, or even hated by him, then the gains outweigh the losses!

At that moment, he couldn't help but stabbed his mouth: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be in a hurry to excuse the guilty ministers, it's not too late to wait until Lord Chen of Dali Temple finishes speaking!" ”

The prince suddenly turned his head to look at him, with a gentle appearance with a light smile, but the eyes as deep as the abyss made the prime minister slowly lower his head and didn't dare to say more!

Seeing this, Dali Temple Qing sweated like a note! Then he hurriedly replied: "Prince Qiqi! Weichen went to the household department to check, and also asked the people who were familiar with him, those people were all from Dongli country, and they had been waiting in the palace for a long time, and their identity should be correct! Moreover, after the incident, Wechen visited the envoys of the two countries, but they all said that they were sick! I think it's because the matter is exposed, and they have no shame. ”

The crown prince was silent for the first time.

Now it seems that the situation is developing in an unfavorable direction for Xiao Chuhe, and all the evidence proves that Xiao Chuhe did indeed go to see the envoys, and said "to join forces with Xilin and Nanyue to conspire with Dongli"!

However, can you believe the words of a few minions? For the sake of today's plan, I can only listen to Xiao Chuhe's confession first.

"Bring Xiao Chuhe to the palace!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of people appeared outside the hall, led by the Queen Mother, and the fourth prince Xiao Yicheng followed closely behind!

"No need!" The sound is like a bell, with a sense of fierceness. It was the Queen Mother who spoke!

Don't look at Xiao Chuhong, who is only in his forties, his body collapsed, he and Xiao Chuhe's mother-Xiao Zijin's wife, the current queen mother of Dongli Kingdom is sixty years old this year, but her body is still strong!

"Grandson to meet the imperial grandmother!"

"Wait for the ministers to meet the Queen Mother! Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

Hula knelt on the ground, and everyone hurriedly saluted!

"Get up!" glanced at them lightly, and his gaze stayed on the prince for a long time.

The ministers rose one after another.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood up straight, his face was happy, and he walked quickly to the old man not far away: "Grandmother Huang, why do you have time to come over?!" ”

But before he could get closer, a group of guards suddenly came into the temple and caught him.

He suddenly looked dazed and at a loss: "Imperial grandmother! This...... Why is that?! ”

The Queen Mother looked at him with a complicated expression and didn't speak, but Xiao Yicheng behind her couldn't wait! He couldn't wait to see him beg for mercy, and wanted to see him scared and panicked: "It's all this time, why is the prince still pretending?!" ”

The crown prince was still confused, he didn't pay attention to Xiao Yicheng, who was the villain's ambition, but looked straight at the queen mother: "Imperial grandmother, what happened?" ”

Just as Xiao Yicheng wanted to speak again, the Queen Mother spoke first: "Let the prince go first!" ”

It's the prince, not Yiqing! The prince bowed his head.

When the guards heard this, they immediately let go, but they did not leave.

"Come on! Bring people up! After instructing the guards, he looked at him and said with a cold expression, "Since you don't know, it's just right, and the mourning family doesn't understand it very well, so let's listen to it together!" ”

"Yes!" He bowed respectfully, and then stood aside, but his heart sank instantly. The afterglow of his eyes caught a glimpse of Xiao Yicheng's smug face, and his heart couldn't help but sink a little more!

Soon, several maids and eunuchs who were covered in scars from the torture were brought in. As soon as they entered the hall, they all knelt on the ground and begged the prince to save them.

Seeing this scene, everyone's faces were different. For a while, except for the few palace eunuchs who begged for mercy, no one spoke! The scene once fell into a very embarrassing and strange situation.

There was a burst of irritability in his heart for no reason, and he reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, and then he asked out loud: "What did you do?" ”

"Your Highness, don't you remember the slave?! The slave is jasper! Even if you don't remember the slave, you should remember the task you gave the slave! Why ...... today?" one of the palace maids, who was scarred and could barely get up, raised her head with difficulty and asked with tears in her eyes.

Suddenly there was an uproar! The discussion came and went, and the roof of the Qinzheng Hall seemed to be crumbling and about to be overturned!

"Jasper?! Haven't you been transferred to the division room as an errand boy?! How did it come to be like this? And what the hell are you talking about?! What task? Why are you framing Hongu?! When the prince heard this, he was startled at first, and after identifying the woman in front of him with blood stained face, he turned into anger and asked sharply.

But as soon as these words came out, everyone present thought that he really let the palace maid named Jade do something unseemly!

Seeing that the ministers' eyes changed when they looked at him, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing! It was really because he was so surprised in his heart that he lost his sense of proportion!

Sure enough, the Queen Mother was as cold as ice: "Since the two of you know each other, then you also instructed the emperor to poison him?!" ”

Hearing the news, the officials were filled with righteous indignation. Before he could speak, someone shouted accusations.

For example, Xiao Yicheng: "Prince, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious!" Your father has already made you the crown prince, but you are so desperate to ...... You deserve to die! ”

"Shut up!" The prince is going crazy!

His eyes were red, and he looked like he was going to eat Xiao Yicheng! But he knelt on his knees towards the Queen Mother, and said with tears in his eyes, "Imperial grandmother, there is really no need for your grandson to do this!" Please grandmother Mingjian! As the fourth emperor brother said, the father has already made his grandson the crown prince, not only that, but because the father is sick, the big and small things in the court are all made by the grandson, and the grandson really has no need to poison the father again! ”

That's right! When the emperor fell ill, all matters were handled by the prince, and when His Majesty was fine, he also liked to hand over most of the political affairs to the prince. To put it mildly, the crown prince is actually equivalent to half an emperor. There was no need for him to poison him at all!

The ministers, including the Queen Mother, also understood this in their hearts.

"Moreover, it was the grandson who first found out that his father was poisoned! It was only in order to avoid turmoil in the court that Sun Er strictly ordered the envoy of the Zhang Yuan to keep it secret, and asked him to detoxify his father in private! If not, I'm afraid that my father has already ...... If the imperial grandmother doesn't believe it, you can summon the envoy of the Zhangyuan Academy, and you will know when you ask! ”

Speaking of which, there is nothing that everyone does not understand. Looking at Xiao Yicheng, who had just jumped up and down, everyone tacitly bowed their heads, looking at their noses and noses.

Most of the depression in the Queen Mother's heart dissipated, and her tone became softer: "Yiqing, you have been wronged!" Good boy, hurry up! As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and pull it up, but he stood up and held him up first.

The old man is old, how dare he, Xiao Yiqing, bother the elders to reach out to help him!

This loving scene made Xiao Yicheng angry! But there is no fire!

When he learned the news that 'the emperor was poisoned and unconscious, but the prince tried his best to hide it', he thought that this was a good time to bring down Xiao Yiqing! So he bought off Jasper, and for this reason, he even went to the Buddha Hall to invite the Queen Mother out!

But now not only did not achieve the goal, but also provoked a commotion!

"Imperial grandmother, it's all your grandson's fault! It was the grandson who shouldn't have listened to the slander of these palace maids and eunuchs, misunderstood the crown prince and brother, and asked the imperial grandmother and the prince and brother to forgive their sins! Xiao Yicheng quickly admitted his mistake.

The old man of the Queen Mother didn't pay attention to him, but turned her head to look at the prince: "How is it?" Have you found the person who poisoned you? The ministers also pricked up their ears and waited for his answer, but only Xiao Yicheng's face was pale, and his forehead was bruised.

The prince shook his head in embarrassment.

"Alas, that's it! Your Emperor...... How is Uncle Huang's affairs handled? The Queen Mother's face was tired, her eyes were a little dull, and there was a little pain in her eyes.

It stands to reason that Xiao Chuhe is older than Xiao Chuhong, and he should be called the emperor's uncle. But who made him just a prince, if Xiao Ruoruo and them called Xiao Chuhong the emperor's uncle, no one would think that he was the emperor.

Seeing the expression of the imperial grandmother, the prince's heart was a little uncomfortable.

The emperor's grandfather (Xiao Zijin) and the emperor's grandmother have a deep love, and they only have three children in their lives: their father and uncle, as well as the emperor's aunt who married away from another country. Even if he later ascended the throne as the emperor, and the harem was as beautiful as a cloud, he didn't give them much favor, so it caused today's situation where there are few heirs and only two sons!

And the two who were supposed to support each other and love each other, but I don't know when and what happened, they turned against each other! Nothing could hurt the Imperial Grandmother more than this!

"Returning to the emperor's grandmother, the emperor's uncle...... He must have been wronged! He doesn't like to deal with government affairs at all, he can sleep when he looks at an excerpt, it is impossible to do such a thing! Imperial Grandmother! The prince burst into tears. A man in his thirties is crying with a handful of snot and tears, which makes people laugh and move!

The Queen Mother couldn't control her emotions, and she choked up with tears: "The imperial grandmother knows, she knows!" Good boy, don't cry! ”

After a while, the grandparents and grandchildren finally sorted out their moods!

poured out the pain in her heart, although the queen mother's face was slightly pale, but it was because of too many mood swings, it was not a big deal, but her spirit was even more sufficient!

"In this life, the emperor and the mourning family have only two sons, one is Prince Gong Xiao Chuhe, and the other is the current saint! Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, what kind of virtue Prince Gong has, the mourning family knows best! Of course, as an official of the same dynasty, you naturally know something about him. So today, the mourning family stood up for the wronged son of the mourning family! The voice was loud, sweeping away the previous heaviness, "Someone! Spread the message of mourning! ”

The ministers knelt down in response.

"Prince Gong's misbehavior Xiao Chuhe caused me to lose face in Dongli, so he took away his title as prince, and he and his family were demoted to concubines, and they will never be allowed to enter Kyoto City again!"

In addition, the mourning family is old, and in recent years, their health is not safe, and their daughter Xiao Ruoruo is with him, and he cultivates himself in the Buddhist hall. However, the identity of the county lord remains unchanged! ”
