Chapter 258: In the face of the confrontation, Zhaoyi was revealed
The matter of the queen has always been taboo in front of the emperor, as soon as Beitang Junli said this, the emperor's face immediately changed, and Beitang Junli was not sure for a while, whether he should continue to talk about it.
This time, the emperor did not torture everyone's heads, and the fingers supporting the heads moved, and said, "Go on." ”
Beitang Junli dared to continue to speak, "Yes, father." ”
Beitang Junli agreed, and began to tell the story: "Thirteen years ago, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, on the birthday of the fourth emperor, my father went to Qiwu Palace to celebrate the birthday of the fourth emperor brother with the queen. ”
When Beitang Junli said this, everyone's expressions changed greatly, especially Beitang Junqin, his fists clenched instantly, and Beitang Junlin himself was very calm.
The emperor frowned and pondered for a long time, "Although I was drunk that day, I remember this, but what does this have to do with Yuqing's death?" ”
"Father, don't be impatient, and listen to your son's ministers." Beitang Junli said slowly: "What my father said was drunk, and if he said it, he probably didn't care, but at that time, it was not only the fourth emperor brother and the queen's mother, but also the palace maids at that time, Yulu and Yuqing." ”
Beitang Junli has always been straightforward, but this time it is intermittent" The queen mother has great trust in the two big palace maids around her, but she didn't know that Shang Yulu had already been bought by Concubine Lan, she told Concubine Lan at that time that her father's words were full of oil and vinegar, Concubine Lan had no heirs at that time, but she was worried about the queen's throne, and knew that if the fourth emperor brother became the prince, the position of the queen mother would not be moved, so there was the scene of the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the so-called fornication of the queen mother. ”
"What do you mean?"
The emperor suddenly came to his senses, leaning forward, "What is the so-called fornication?" ”
"Father, what you think is right, the queen's adultery is clearly a play co-starred by Lan Guifei and Shang Zhaoyi, that night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the queen was supposed to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, but because Shang Yulu was drugged in the lunch, the queen mother was tired, so she told her father to take leave not to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and stayed in the palace to rest."
When the emperor heard this, he took the initiative to answer, "The queen asked me for leave to rest, and after the palace banquet, it was Concubine Lan who said that the queen was inevitably lonely in the palace, and offered to visit the queen, and everyone else followed." ”
After saying that, the emperor's face instantly became ugly, and he looked "Is it Concubine Lan?" How to explain the figure that jumped out of the window? ”
"As my father can see, that person is just a back, his name is Tang Zhiliao, and he was the captain of the guard of Qiwu Palace at that time."
Beitang Jun took over the topic, "According to Concubine Lan's meaning, it was for her to defile the queen's mother, but Tang Zhiliao didn't have the guts, so he kept cowering in the queen's bedroom, and after everyone entered the Qiwu Palace, he deliberately fled in a hurry, giving people a feeling of being a thief, and his father was furious at that time, and after issuing a series of orders, no one was allowed to mention the matter of the queen's mother, so before the death of Zha Yuqing this time, no one questioned the matter at that time. ”
"After the queen died in vain, Concubine Lan and Shang Yulu took each other's handles, Concubine Lan accepted Shang Yulu as a big palace maid, and recommended her to His Majesty to seal Jieyu, and Concubine Lan became the highest concubine in the harem because of the vacancy of the main position, and became the highest concubine in the harem, and the king of Jiangdu was also rejected by His Majesty as they expected, Concubine Lan and Shang Zhaoyi's goals were achieved."
"Brother Emperor, Fourth Brother and Sister, today's task is to report Yuqing's death to my father, what are you talking about?" Beitang Junqin has not been able to find a chance to interject, and when Lan Jing and Beitang Junqin are behind for a while, Beitang Junqin immediately came out to stop the two.
However, since this topic has been raised, it is impossible for the Emperor to let the matter go unchecked.
Hearing Beitang Junqin's words, the emperor said directly: "Just because of my drunken words, I let the queen of a country die in vain, the Duke of Qi, the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyi, and the Concubine Duan are all implicated, good means, good skills!" ”
"Enlightened father, it's not just that." Lan Jing took a stack of letter paper and held it high, "After the queen died in vain, the Duke of Qi wanted to try their best to rehabilitate the queen and collect evidence everywhere, and the evidence of Lan Guifei's guilt could have been presented to his father at that time, but someone threatened them with the safety of the fashionable and young Jiangdu King and the Duan Concubine Niangniang, the third princess, and the eighth princess in the palace, and the Ming family could only knock out their teeth and swallow blood, and they could endure it for more than ten years. ”
The Emperor's anger has reached its limit." ”
The letters full of warnings did not hide their arrogance at all, and the emperor was furious, "Do you know who wrote these letters?" ”
"Back to my father, these letters were all written by one person, Li Kunhe, the deputy general of General Wuwei at that time."
"Li Kunhe?" Beitang Junli was surprised: "That's not the deputy general of the Tiger Brigade now, but now he is the general of Zhennan." ”
"It's him." Lan Jing said confidently: "During the investigation a few days ago, in order to avoid misunderstanding, I asked people to take the documents written by Li Kun on weekdays, if Your Majesty and you don't believe it, you can do a handwriting comparison." ”
Although the people present are not experts in handwriting identification, everyone's writing skills are not bad.
The struggle in the harem is related to the military generals of the previous dynasty, and this matter is serious.
Beitang Junqin originally wanted to say something to help Lan Guifei, but as soon as he heard that Lan Guifei's original incident was related to Pang Jingting's hussar camp, he immediately shut up.
After hearing all this, the emperor suddenly knocked on the table and called out, "Zhao Qian." ”
With a "snap", the doors of the left and right side halls of the main hall were opened, and a group of people were pushed out from the gates on both sides, Lan Guifei, Shang Zhaoyi, and the personal palace maids beside them.
As soon as Lan Guifei and Shang Zhaoyi rushed out, they knelt in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, wronged, wronged, concubine!" ”
"Wronged?" The emperor condescended, "The correspondence between you and Shang Zhaoyi, the correspondence between Shang Zhaoyi and Yuqing, and the correspondence between you and Pang Jingting are all in my hands. ”
"Your Majesty, these letters can be faked, more than ten years have passed, and when it is suddenly mentioned, the concubine can't tell it clearly even if she is full of mouths!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubines of the queen mother never said a word, and the accusations of Princess Jiangdu and King Jing are too unreasonable!"
"Really?" Lan Jing said coldly: "Does Shang Zhaoyi think that if Yuqing, who knows the truth of everything back then, dies, you can sit back and relax?" ”
Shang Zhaoyi was angry, "Princess Jiangdu, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to frame me repeatedly?" ”
"Framed you?" Blue Mirror scoffed, "You're not qualified enough. ”
After Lan Jing finished speaking, Zhengse said: "Father, the courtier-in-law asks to bring a serious monk Zhaoyi to confront him." ”
"Yes!"
Blue Mirror waved her hand at Night Frost, and Night Frost ran out, and after a while, the witness was brought in, and Shang Zhaoyi panicked when she saw those people.
The emperor looked at the people kneeling below, "So many, are they all human witnesses?" ”
"Back to my father, they are all old men from Qiwu Palace and Yikun Palace back then."
"Shang Zhaoyi poisoned the eighth princess at the palace banquet twelve years ago, who can prove this?"
"Back to Your Majesty, whether Shang Zhaoyi was poisoned or not, the slave doesn't know, but at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that year, Shang Zhaoyi did touch the moon cakes of the eighth princess."
An old eunuch bent his waist, "Originally, the moon cakes were placed after the guests were seated, when Shang Zhaoyi had just been awarded the title of Jieyu, and she was favored by the saints, she asked the slaves to put the moon cakes in advance, the old slave was worried that the slaves below were lazy, and went to Yaohua Palace to check in person, and just saw Shang Zhaoyi moving the moon cakes of the eighth princess, and after seeing the old slave, she also specially explained that the eighth princess did not eat egg yolk moon cakes, and asked the old slave to take the egg yolk moon cakes, so the old slave remembered very clearly. ”
"Dog minion, you dare to slander me!"
Shang Zhaoyi screamed and was about to rush over and beat the eunuch.
As soon as the emperor raised his hand, he threw down the paperweight on the table, and Shang Zhaoyi's shoulder and jaw were scratched with blood, "Presumptuous, I am still here, I dare to be so arrogant, it can be seen how arrogant you are in private!" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine is just a temporary ......"
"Alright, you don't have to say it." The emperor waved his hand impatiently, and directly threw down Shang Yulu and Yuqing's letters back then, "Handwriting can be faked, but paper can't be faked, this is a beige rice paper made by the Ministry of Industry on a small scale twelve years ago, and it was discontinued ten years ago, what else do you have to say?" ”
"If Shang Zhaoyi still feels wronged, why don't you meet this one?" Beitang Junli said in an unkind tone, and when he stood to the side, he saw two forbidden soldiers behind him standing there with a person dressed as a guard.
"Tang Zhiliao, King Jing, what are you doing with him?"
"Shang Zhaoyi, you can admit it." Without waiting for Beitangjun to leave, he listened to Tang Zhiliao and said: "Back then, you and I had a private letter, and the two meritorious families of the Qi State Mansion and the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion were far away from the court, and the Duan Concubine Niangniang was forced to live in the cold palace, and the queen died in vain, and she has not slept a peaceful sleep for more than ten years. ”
Tang Zhiliao suppressed his emotions every time he said a word, "A few days ago, you asked the lowly to kill Yulu, and the lowly also carried out your order, along with Yulu's husband, the honest man also died in the lowly position, but when their four-year-old daughter waved a knife to kill people when she looked at the lowly position, the lowly office felt like a monster who killed people without seeing blood!" ”
"You, Tang Zhiliao, who instructed you to kill Yulu, I have no grievances with you, I have treated you well all these years, why do you slander me so much?"
"Okay, the facts are still so obsessed in front of you!" The emperor waved his hand, "Come on, drag me down, Zhaoyi Shangyulu poisoned the princess, murdered the queen, killed people, the crime is not punishable, deprived of Zhaoyi's title, demoted to a concubine, temporarily detained in Dali Temple, and beheaded on a certain day!" ”
