Chapter 443: Little Farewell Reunion
Chungui didn't expect that in the last half day of entering the palace this time, she would have a conversation with the Queen Mother in Cining Palace that had nothing to do with "long things" such as flowers and herbs, diet, etc.
"Xiao Gu Ying can also see it, Shoukang Palace's demon is indeed because of Qiao's instigation, but that yarn is not because of Qiao's instructions."
In the end, she was old, and as soon as the queen mother came back, she entered the warm pavilion, so that in addition to the big wool cloak to make the dress less cumbersome, she sat down on a carved Luo Han bed with a smooth handle, and also let Chun Gui sit next to her, and there was another compartment behind the Luo Han bed that was not against the wall, so that as long as it was not yelling, it was not afraid of being eavesdropped on the content of the speech.
"Yes." Chun Gui first responded with a smile and said: "The courtiers were extremely shocked when they heard the words of Imperial Physician Gao, but their expressions were not afraid, as if she didn't expect that kind of deadly poison would be smeared on the bamboo board, not to mention that it was ridiculous that the Liu family dared to carry out such a poisonous plan only on the basis of Qiao Cairen's empty promises, and that kind of poison was not something that Qiao Cairen could know about and bring into the inner court of the Forbidden Garden. ”
"And the Liu family's style, I look at her as if she was ordered by Dongchang, and she is not an ordinary palace person after all." The Queen Mother narrowed the corners of her eyes slightly, and frowned slightly: "She must be at the behest of Concubine Hui, so after combing, Concubine Hui is likely to collude with the eunuchs of Dongchang, I don't like to worry about such idle matters over the years, but I think there should be clues to come to Lanting and you." ”
Chungui naturally will not hide it from the Queen Mother: "The Marquis of Anlu Mansion and the Dongchang Hundred Households Cao Anzu have always colluded. ”
"Cao Anzu." The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "When the first emperor was the first emperor, he obeyed the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies at that time, and made Kou Zhenxian his son, Kou Zhenxian and Peng's Shen colluded, and he should not have died well, but he still had some luck, and he died of illness before Zhao Taishi's plan to kill demons, and Cao Anzu was not conspicuous among his many sons, so he let him escape the later liquidation, this thing is also old and old, and his ambition is still immortal, until now he is still looking at the eunuch of Zhendong Factory to be in power, and he is also taking the old road of Kou Zhenxian, hoping that he can also be like Daizong today, The same color of the Guangzong makes Zhi dizzy. ”
The Queen Mother paused for a moment before asking Chungui: "Xiao Gu is afraid that I will also feel surprised, why did I see at a glance that the Liu family was making a false confession, but I didn't pursue it just now, and the Qiao family took the blame for Concubine Hui." ”
"The reason why Niangniang is so decisive should be for thoughtful consideration." Chungui vaguely understood the Queen Mother's concerns.
"This matter involves the battle for the throne, and it is impossible to investigate it openly, and the emperor's temperament, even if he cherishes his grandson, it is difficult to be ruthless with the rest of the flesh and blood, this kind of matter should not be pursued by me, whether it should be investigated or not, it should be investigated, it is all up to the emperor's opinion, I can't force the emperor to decide, and we are too deeply involved, it will inevitably make the emperor suspicious of Liulang."
"Yes." Chun Gui was convinced by the Queen Mother's foresight, but she thought about it and asked, "Then Qiao is talented...... Is there still life? ”
"Does Xiao Gu think she is guilty of death rather than death?"
"Sin is not as good as death is a layer, and the courtiers look at Qiao Cairen today, as if there is another hidden story behind this matter, she even stared at the courtiers for a while before changing her words, admitting that she was slandering Shoukang Palace, Qiao Cairen and Concubine Hui had no contact in the past, and it can't be driven by Concubine Hui, if you stay Qiao
Only then will the courtiers have the opportunity to detect the people who are hiding in the shadows and have malicious intentions towards the courtiers. ”
The Queen Mother bowed her head: "After all, the conspiracy failed, and the emperor has always been lenient, if I intercede for Qiao's family, I can save her life, but whether she is instigated or guided by others, if she doesn't have such crooked thoughts, how can she deliberately slander Ming'er?" The Zhou Wangfu couldn't tolerate such a wrong-hearted concubine like her, so she would be punished for her crimes, and her talented taste would be dismissed and sent back to her own family. ”
This is equivalent to abandonment.
Chungui didn't think that the Qiao family would execute Dagui's daughter because of shame, Qiao's father let his daughter's fame spread all over the capital, and the disciples were all hotly coveted, which proves that he didn't care about the false name and only valued the real profit, Qiao's family was an abandoned woman of the royal family, although it was unlikely to remarry, but because of this, Qiao's violent death was too eye-catching, if it caused gossip and damaged the reputation of the royal family, Qiao's father might be convicted, and it would be more beneficial for the Qiao family to settle the matter.
Before saying goodbye, Chun Gui didn't hold back the vague curiosity in her heart, and today the Queen Mother also took the initiative to mention the dispute for the crown prince, so she asked without hesitation: "The courtiers know that Niangniang is not willing to be involved in the government affairs of the court, and Niangniang really has no objection to the ambitions of His Royal Highness King Zhou?" ”
The queen mother sighed, but she was extremely willing to have a heart-to-heart with Chungui: "I have been trapped in the palace for most of my life, in order to live less humiliating, it can also be said that I have exhausted my scheming and intrigue with others, and now I have become the queen mother, and I can finally enjoy myself, and I really don't want to work as hard as before, although Rokuro grew up next to me, I really don't want him to get involved in the battle for the storage position, but the child is older, he has his own ambitions and ambitions, and I can't force him to do nothing in order to protect himself all his life."
The grandson is indeed not a weapon, the emperor arranged how many erudite Confucians have taught him the way of the Ming Jun since he was a child, but he prefers to listen to those treacherous heresies, and now his heart is becoming more and more obedient and ruthless, even if he is idle, he will not be able to keep peace in the future, I am afraid that he is not even the 'lucky' of imprisoning the walking dead on the high wall, and if he does not fight for it, he is bound to die.
This is the hardship of being born in the royal family, sometimes it is not humble to retreat to preserve, the emperor is most worried about the children and grandchildren cannibalism, but the emperor has not been sober until now, unless he makes up his mind to establish another virtuous, otherwise the descendants of the surname Qin will not be able to escape the killing of the wall. There is one thing, because Xiao Gu has not met with Lan Ting recently, I am afraid that I will not know it, the prince in Zixu Nunnery actually claimed to the crown princess that he intended to 'kill his relatives with righteousness' in a dangerous change in Ciqing Palace, and used the crime of exposing the princess to change his past mistakes, and now he is determined to be a monarch who is 'dictatorial', and warns the princess not to be at the mercy of him as a puppet again, but in the eyes of the prince, the people who really want to manipulate him are not only the crown princess and Gao Qiong? What he hates is the emperor, and what he resists is that even if he ascends to the pole in the future, he must still be 'controlled' by the loyal and virtuous ministers left to him by the emperor, and a monarch who regards whatever he wants as his ambition is a disaster for the society, and this is the case with Daizong and Guangzong, and the same is true for Taisun, under such a monarch, it is bound to be rampant and treacherous, and the more unified the monarchy, the more serious the disaster. ”
Although Chungui also guessed that there must be a cat behind the grandson's "righteous annihilation", he still couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the Queen Mother's words: "Niangniang is listening to the news from His Royal Highness King Zhou? ”
"He didn't dare to plant his eyes and ears in Zixu Nunnery
, There are still a few twists and turns in the revelation of this matter, at this time I don't talk to Xiao Gu in detail, after you return to the Taishi's Mansion, you will naturally listen to Lan Ting's ins and outs, the reason why I learned about this is because the emperor, it was the emperor who told him personally, and now the emperor is disappointed in the grandson, and what is even more sad is that the only blood of the late prince, the eldest grandson of the emperor who spent a lot of effort to cultivate his grandfather, is so unscrupulous.
The emperor has not yet made up his mind. Now that he has Danyang Zijin to support the heart pill, the emperor is no longer worried that the heart disease is suddenly not cured, thinking that there may still be time to lead the grandson back to the right path, but the emperor is not without precautions, leaving a holy decree written by his own hand, if something happens, the grandson will ascend the throne, the military talisman will be in charge of the Cining Palace, and the national government will be handed over to Xu Ge Lao and other ministers to decide, and the grandson and the crown can not be in person. ”
Spring Return: !!
"This is a last resort remedy, the old woman only hopes that the situation will not develop here, the sickness and sores of the society, should be treated by the emperor himself, which is really conducive to the stability of the country, the harem is in charge of the cabinet, since ancient times will lead to chaos and war, which is not in line with the desire of the prosperous world, but will lay the root of another bloody storm of power. Therefore, the radical change should be imminent, at this time, whether it is Cining Palace or Zhou Wangfu, it is best to stay away from the matter and not involve party disputes, this is the important reason why Shoukang Palace changed just now, and I can only let Qiao's family take full responsibility. ”
Chungui couldn't help feeling guilty: "This incident is not all because of the courtiers, but also because of the courtiers...... The Queen Mother was involved. ”
The Queen Mother smiled and sighed: "What does this have to do with you? You were also framed by those treacherous designs, don't say that you didn't know in advance that Cining Palace was already on the cusp, even if you knew it, you should also know the danger, if you were really stupid to the point of sending yourself to death, how could Lan Ting swallow his anger? As soon as the Taishi Mansion fights the lawsuit, the one in Shoukang Palace will definitely listen to Qiao's rhetoric in order to confirm that you deserve it, but even the Zhou Wangfu will be implicated.
Qiao's has now confessed, she is jealous and jealous for the sake of competing for favor to slander Ming'er and you, the emperor personally interrogated Qiao's family, in order to dispel the suspicion of Liulang, although it is not because of Liu's immediate suspicion of Concubine Hui and Cao An's feet, but the emperor knows that Liu is not driven by Qiao's family, and is bound to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, although the privileges of the factory guard are not as good as before, Tao Xiaoshen and Gao Deyi still have some means, Concubine Hui and Cao Anzu will show their feet sooner or later, this matter will be investigated and dealt with by the emperor himself, and Liulang and I can stay out of the matter. ”
Only when you return in spring can you really feel at ease.
On this day, she returned to Changle Palace, Concubine Hui did not summon again, probably because she was really angry because the design failed again, and she was too lazy to look at Chungui's triumphant face to win again, and this matter was not as "seamless" as the dangerous change in Ciqing Palace that day, Concubine Hui should have personally instructed Liu Nu to use poison, and Liu's exposure was very likely to confess behind the scenes.
Concubine Hui was angry, but she should be uneasy.
The next day after his return from the spring, he left the palace peacefully.
On this day, there is still no golden crow in the sky, and the snow is gradually melting to make the cold more pressing, but the orchid court outside the gate of the imperial city has been waiting for a long time, the palace sedan chair has not been stable He walked forward quickly, when the sedan curtain was opened, an arm stretched forward, when the slender jade finger fell on the arm, the woman and the man looked at each other and smiled.
This day is the first day of the lunar month of the tenth year of Hongfu.
