Chapter 800: Murderous Intent Bursts Out
No one else heard of the showdown between the monarchs and ministers before the edict, but Liang Xiaoxian noticed that the emperor's face was even more gloomy than before he came to the edict, he thought that if the first emperor was still there, and his father-in-law was still serving the emperor of the Qianqing Palace, at this time, he should be loyal to the emperor to prevent the unwise behavior of the monarch of a country that would obviously cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, but Liang Xiaoxian could not grasp the proportions of the current situation, he could only dare not speak, and shrunk himself as if he did not exist, but his ears were erected, and he always paid attention to the movements in the inner study.
The emperor is indeed hated and angry, he knows that if he wants to persuade Chungui to "fake his death", he will accompany him to stay with him from then on, he can't take the initiative to persecute Chungui, he must coerce Lanting to compromise for the lives of the people and his family, and Lan Tingxian and Chungui will be "righteous", he is even willing to indulge the power of the prime minister to restrain the monarch's power, and he does not hesitate to pay such a price for Chungui, but the result is still unable to convince Lanting, and the emperor is difficult to accept the untimely death of the plan for a while.
What about the art of practicing the Tao? Do you dare to bet that Zhao Lanting will actually succumb to power, and dare to bet on the return of spring is actually unwilling to involve Zhao Lanting to die, that is, his true love is unwavering in his life, but in order to ensure Zhao Lanting's safety, he is willing to choose to accompany him? Will he care about Chungui's "body in Cao Ying, heart in Han"? No, he doesn't care, what he cares about is that there is no her in the three palaces and six courtyards, what he cares about is that the palace wall is as tall as a barrier, and no matter how high the throne is, he can't see her face.
"I want to make a purpose!" I broke off with a drink.
Liang Xiaoxian entered immediately, did not dare to ask more, and only listened to the emperor's next orders.
"Don't let the cabinet minister ghostwrite, call Gong Wanglai! Hurry up! ”
Liang Xiaoxian hurriedly trot, eager to fly to the Chinese Book Science Department outside the noon gate.
Gong Wang has now served as a scholar in the middle school, but he often writes edicts, and even often serves the Son of Heaven, and is a member of the close ministers worthy of the name, so he took the edict, and he was not surprised, only to see that Liang Xiaoxian hated to take out a whip to urge him to pull out his feet and run away, and also realized that the emperor's recall was extraordinary, but even if Gong Wang was prepared, when he heard that the emperor opened his mouth to convict and behead Lan Ting, Gong Wang's reaction was like being bitten by the Zhu pen in his hand, and he threw the Zhu pen three feet away.
"Your Majesty, this edict can't be written." Gong Wang frowned: "I heard that the emperor ordered Zhao Gebu to be imprisoned, and the minister thought that the emperor wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but I didn't expect the emperor to be so confused, he actually believed the so-called testimony of the eunuch, and really convicted Zhao Gebu!" ”
"Gong Wang, are you trying to resist the order?!" The emperor was furious: "I don't let the cabinet ministers draw up an edict, so as not to listen to Shen Cianming's irritability...... Yes, I forgot, at this time, you are also related to Zhao Lanting, but have you forgotten your duty as a courtier! ”
"The emperor has forgotten that Weichen originally did not have the idea of entering the dynasty, why is he willing to be bound by this black gauze hat! Zhao Gebu is dedicated to serving the monarch and serving the country, and the emperor actually wants to unjustly kill loyal and virtuous ministers? ! That Weichen is also an accomplice of the Zhao Cabinet Department, and the emperor governs the Weichen and the Zhao Cabinet Department are guilty of the same crime! ”
Gong Wang rolled his eyes in front of the emperor, took two steps forward to pick up the red pen, and handed it to the emperor: "Such a ridiculous edict, the emperor wrote it himself." ”
Liang Xiaoxian, who was outside the door, heard that Gong Sheren was so indulgent, and the cold sweat was even more fierce, and he heard a heavy sound again, and he didn't know if it was a paperweight or something else in the study that was unlucky, but the strange thing was that he still didn't hear Gong Sheren's plea for mercy.
"I'm afraid the emperor hasn't had a drink for a while, right? Or...... Let's steal a day of laziness today? The emperor is also flesh and blood, and if he is too busy, he will inevitably be impetuous, and if he is impetuous and impatient, he will inevitably have stupid thoughts......"
Liang Xiaoxian's eyes were almost not cold by himself
Sweating, but I sighed again and again in my heart: This Gong She person really dares to say it.
But the emperor actually ate this.
Gong Wang came out and glanced at Liang Xiaoxian: "Why does Liang Neichen seem to be drenched in rain on a sunny day?" ”
"Gong Sheren, don't make fun of the slave at this time." Liang Xiaoxian couldn't cry or laugh.
"Go, prepare a table with good wine and food, don't make the Qing Palace, put the Fengxiao Pavilion in the imperial garden, it is cool there, and you can be happy physically and mentally when you drink wine, but carefully don't let the harem concubines bother, don't let the idle people approach, that is, what advice does the queen mother have...... Liang Neichen also stopped it, reminding Niangniang not to be impatient, I persuaded the emperor, nothing big happened. ”
Liang Xiaoxian obeyed Gong Sheren's arrangement without saying a word.
The irascible emperor was dragged to the imperial garden by Gong Wang, and after a few glasses of wine, he confided in Gong Wang: "Only by crusading against Houjin can we truly cut off future troubles, but the officials led by Zhao Jibu have always opposed the use of troops, and in the final analysis, they are not worried that the power of military generals is higher than that of Wenchen......"
"Don't say these words, what kind of character is Zhao Gebu, the emperor still doesn't understand? The minister knows why the emperor is angry, but the minister does not dare to mention those words, but the minister must tell the emperor, if the emperor is really obsessed, the minister must not help the abuse, life has a confidant and no regrets, the minister regards Zhao Gebu as a confidant, for this confidant, the minister would rather die to repay, the emperor knows that Zhao Gebu and Mrs. Gu are in love, they are a pair of fairy couples, is it possible to do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing as flying separately when disaster comes? The emperor is trying to force Mrs. Gu to a dead end, Neiko and Mrs. Gu are like sisters, and they will definitely pay each other with death, so the emperor also advises his ministers to think of their wives and children, and the emperor really can't bear to hurt the Zhao Pavilion and the ministers...... Broken family? ”
The emperor stared at Gong Wang coldly, but in the end he calmed down.
But he can't completely dispel his delusions, what he cares about is nothing more than persecuting too tightly to anger Chungui, causing irreparable consequences, of course he doesn't want to force Chungui to die, his wish is to let Chungui choose the way to live.
So the next day, with the holy decree, Lan Ting was temporarily dismissed, but he was released from the edict and stayed in Beijing to wait for the verdict.
That's the case, and there seem to be signs of convicting the cabinet ministers, and the court suddenly burst into discussion, and many ministers proposed to the first assistant Shen Cassia to admonish and defend the Lan Ting, but Shen Cieming disagreed: "Now the emperor has not made a decision, and since the Zhao Pavilion is suspected, the temporary dismissal of the Holy Ruling is also in line with the legal principles, if we raise a group to discourage and question the Holy Order, we will commit the taboo of forming a party and forcing the king!" Everyone should be calm and impatient, and should believe that the emperor will thoroughly investigate the murder of King Anping. ”
On the other day, Lan Ting took the spring to the Xisheng Pavilion to "wait for the sin and wait for death".
Of course, he didn't forget to close the door and refuse all visits, even the brother Gu Huabin who returned from the spring came to see him, but he was rejected by Lan Ting on the grounds that "he can't interact with Shilin because of his guilt", but Gu Huabin also handed in his resignation, bluntly saying that he should be removed from his post because of his suspicion.
Even Chungui's own brother is so strong, the emperor feels helpless.
And on this day, the queen finally took the initiative to come to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint.
The emperor knew that the queen must also be to intercede for Lan Ting, and he didn't want to see it at all, and it was impossible for him to tell the queen frankly about his intentions, the queen didn't know him, but he knew the queen, and he wanted the queen to know his purpose, so there must only be a generous submission, even if he could endure his anger, the advice was nothing more than to focus on the country's society, and as the emperor, he couldn't violate the set of principles of benevolence, and the emperor didn't want to listen to it at all.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang stewed a cup of Sichuan shellfish quail today, I heard that even the imperial chef in the palace didn't know how to cook it, or Gu
Mrs. heard that Niangniang often committed autumn irritability, and taught Niangniang the method, saying that according to Mrs. Gu's method of stewing, it is not only delicious and delicious, but also can calm the irritable cough, Niangniang heard that the emperor has also had symptoms of irritability recently, so she specially stewed a cup and sent it. Liang Xiaoxian relayed the queen's words.
The emperor's heart moved: Why did even the queen have a wit at this time?
He was not disgusted with such a wit, and allowed the queen to enter the meeting, and tasted the stew soup first, and sure enough, even the quail meat was delicious, unlike the stew presented in the imperial dining room, which often dissolved into the soup, and the meat tasted the same as chewing wax.
"The queen has a heart today." The emperor said lightly.
"Today, the concubine is deliberately courteous, and there is a reluctant request, and I hope the emperor can agree."
Is this coming? The emperor was impatient in his heart, and his expression became even more cold: "What kind of reluctant request does the queen have?" ”
"The concubine thought about the year, not long after the new marriage with the emperor, she had accompanied the emperor to the Xisheng Pavilion to get together with Sister A and all of you, and now reminiscing about the joy of the year, it was like the melancholy of the next world, and the concubine thought that since she was like this, the emperor probably wanted to revisit the old place, even if it was to steal half a day of leisure, and you could also make friends with you as a 'boundless guest' / get together and drink, in the Xisheng Pavilion, for the time being, it is not limited by the dignity of the monarch and the ministers, so the concubine dares to admonish, but I hope that I have never mistaken the emperor's thoughts."
This was not expected by the emperor at all, he was stunned for a long time before he smiled lightly: "After Concubine Hui entered the palace, the queen is really like having a good minister by her side, and she will cater to the monarch's heart more and more...... The queen doesn't need to be in a hurry to accuse, I don't mean to blame, just ask the queen to speak up, where did the queen hear the gossip. ”
The queen raised her eyebrows: "Is it really gossip?" ”
The Emperor finally frowned.
"The concubine did not dare to hide it from the emperor, at first hearing this rumor in Kunren Palace, the concubine body did think that it was slander, and in a fit of anger, she wanted to investigate thoroughly, and it was indeed Hui Concubine who dissuaded her in time, so that she did not fall for the trick and avoid causing greater turmoil/chaos in the inner court. It is also true that the concubine should know that the rumors are groundless and may not be without cause, and she is shocked and angry in her heart, and it is also Concubine Hui who repeatedly advises the concubine to calm down, not only to start from etiquette and morality, but also to understand the emperor's mood. ”
The emperor's brows were still unslackened: "Then the empress may understand my feelings?" ”
"Can the emperor be patient, first listen to the concubine's wish when she is the daughter of the boudoir?"
"Today, the queen can say anything directly, whether she offends or not, I forgive the queen for her innocence."
"The concubine is an ordinary lady, young court training, strict self-discipline with virtue and etiquette, but when the age of cardamom, the head of the family has been open to discuss the concubine, it is inevitable that the future lover, he should be a gentleman such as jade, should be personable, that must be benevolent, bright and fair, such a stereotypical person as a concubine, in fact, also secretly expected to be in harmony with the future husband, love and harmony, and also envied the woman who had no guess childhood sweetheart with her husband, and did not think that between husband and wife, only morality is happy.
Therefore, the emperor, the concubine body should indeed be understood and understood, sometimes the love is really involuntary, let alone judge right and wrong by etiquette, law and morality, the concubine is fortunate to have a good couple, but it is ashamed that the concubine body can not win the true affection of the husband, this is not that the concubine is not as good as the sister, but in the emperor's bones, in fact, he also advocates free and easy, the sister is such a woman, although the concubine is envious, but after all, it is different from the sister. ”
Mingzhu lowered her eyes: "The concubine has been in the past two days, and it is inevitable that there will be hypotheses, if Sister Ah is now in the inner court, why should the concubine worry that no one can solve the emperor's worries?" This inner court is prosperous, but it is the most lonely, the same is true for the concubine, and even more so for the emperor, the concubine is lonely because of marrying a lover, but the emperor is asking for the person he likes is rare, so the emperor is obsessed, which is also reasonable. ”
