There are many people in the palace who have lower official positions than him, and it stands to reason that he should kneel when others kneel, but everyone still doesn't dare to come out, just for fear of hindering the eyes of King Huiji and being retaliated against in the future.

The stepbrother Wang Gong understood that the opportunity could not be lost at this time, he quickly thought about it, and then knelt down with Yin Zhongkan, and said words of pleading.

In this way, the crown prince and the prince Wang Ya, the left servant Wang Xun, the secretary and supervisor Wang Mi and others all knelt down in turn, and everyone saw that there was a leader, and hurriedly followed, and finally even Sima Daozi and Wang Guobao had to kneel down and ask the emperor for guilt.

This is an attitude, a wind direction, above the court, the Taiyuan Wang family has grasped the initiative.

Concubine Zhang's heart was a little relieved, and she continued: "The concubine is a woman, so naturally she doesn't know how to comfort the first emperor, so she can only sigh with him. Who knew that at this time, there was a small yellow door to report that the king of Huiji and the king asked to see, the first emperor heard that his expression changed greatly, his face was full of fear, and the concubine persuaded him not to see the king of Huiji, so he said that he was unwell, and it was also made to meet in the court another day. ”

When Sima Daozi heard this, he couldn't help it, and hurriedly interjected: "You ignorant woman, you must know that there are records in and out of the palace, before the assassination of the first emperor that day, I didn't enter the palace at all, how could I come to ask to see the imperial brother, this matter can be clearly distinguished by checking the records of the people who entered the palace." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, waved her hand, and a palace maid presented a booklet, and she asked calmly: "What King Huiji said is this Inner Palace Living Note?" I would like to ask all the secretaries to identify it together. ”

The crown prince Wang Ya took it first, and after checking it for a while, he replied: "At noon on the day of the incident, there is indeed a record of the king of Huiji and the king's attendants entering the palace, and I also ask the king of Huiji to look at it." ”

He turned to the page and respectfully handed it to Sima Daozi, Sima Daozi looked at it, and sure enough, it was clearly written in black and white, and the ink color was the same as the ink color before and after, and there was no alteration at all.

He had a bad heart, but there was no evidence to say that this book was rewritten by the queen overnight, so he could only say angrily: "Wang Fahui, can you Taiyuan Wang only play these tricks that are not in the flow?" ”

The queen mother was not half angry, and said with a little pride in her eyes: "King Huiji is really joking, this living note is also in the hands of the officials of the inner palace, and the mourning family is just borrowing it to take a look, but what you said, please make it clear what you mean, otherwise it is really difficult to understand the mourning family." ”

Wang Gong naturally said: "The king of Huiji is talking about him left and right, is it really that he has done something wrong, and he is anxious to pull it on the queen mother to confuse the public?" ”

The empress dowager is noble, and she is the emperor's biological mother, Sima Daozi didn't know what else she had, so he couldn't decide to tear his face with her for a while, so he could only swallow his anger and retreat to the side and stop talking.

Wang Guobao is the most timid wall grass, he immediately kneeled to the queen's feet, prostrate and pleaded: "Weichen asks the queen mother to be clear, don't wronged a good person, the minister doesn't remember whether he entered the palace that day, but where did the minister have the courage to do this murderous deed, the queen mother also asked Mingcha, the minister has always been loyal, only the emperor's order is obeyed." ”

Wang Fahui spat him disdainfully in his heart, only to feel that this impermanent villain was really a soft bone, and he begged for mercy before he said anything, and it was a waste to deal with such a small role with the formation he had carefully arranged.

She was very kind on her face, and said gently: "The merits of the saint will judge by himself, and you don't have to worry too much." ”

Wang Guobao listened to her tone was still quite smooth, and his heart was a little calm, but he knelt on the side and didn't dare to raise his head.

Concubine Zhang acted completely according to the queen's eyes at this time, and seeing that the queen no longer had any instructions, she continued: "The concubine persuaded the first emperor a few words, and the first emperor's expression eased slightly, as if he was relieved, and ordered someone to reply according to what the concubine said. The concubine chatted casually with the first emperor about palace affairs, and when she saw that the first emperor looked sleepy, she served the first emperor and fell asleep. ”

"The concubine was restless at this time, worried about the health of the first emperor, and worried about the government affairs of the previous dynasty, she only hated that she couldn't help anything, she could only serve the first emperor with all her heart, she thought about it for a while, and fell asleep."

"The concubine was woken up by a quarrel, and first heard the emperor roar angrily: 'Brother Huang, don't go too far!' Then I heard someone talking intermittently, repeatedly mentioning the name of the Miaoyin Immortal Master. The concubine was hazy and sleepy at the time, so she was not fully awake for a while, and these conversations were only remembered later. ”

"The concubine was finally woken up by the first emperor, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the first emperor was covered in blood, so she screamed, and then all the palace ladies and female officials came into the palace and hurriedly called the imperial doctor to treat the first emperor.

"It's just that at that time, because the concubine was still sleepy, so she didn't inform the Queen Mother of these things, and now that you think about it, it's really terrifying, if it is an assassin who assassinated Your Majesty, why is there no whereabouts? Not only did he not catch half of him, but he didn't even have any clues about how he entered the palace, where he hid, and how to use this thunderous blow. ”

"When the concubine thinks about it, the only explanation is that the person who assassinated the first emperor is the person who was originally in the palace, and it is even more likely that he is his closest relative, so the first emperor was defenseless and fell into the plot all of a sudden."

Concubine Zhang said while bursting into tears, this is not pretending, she remembered that she killed Sima Yao by mistake, and her heart was extremely bitter, if it wasn't for her beloved, she was afraid that Sima Yao would be a little guarded, how could he avoid a little, and he would never be stupid and stunned and let himself stab into the body with a knife.

Her heartbroken appearance also infected everyone, remembering the various rumors between Sima Yao, Sima Daozi and Miaoyin not long ago, everyone felt that this matter was really likely to be true, and Sima Daozi had a casual personality, and he was also very similar to a person who could do something like killing his brother by mistake, so they all looked at Sima Daozi with inquiring eyes, which was also mixed with a lot of condemning eyes.

The Empress Dowager asked awe-inspiringly, "King Huiji, do you have anything to explain?" ”

Sima Daozi was very depressed when he suffered this unwarranted disaster, and he couldn't argue, so he could only retort: "I didn't go to the inner palace at all that day, I'm in ...... I'm ......" But he couldn't remember where he was for a while, so he could only say sneeringly: "When the news reached my mansion, I was still very surprised, I changed my clothes and entered the palace as soon as possible, how could it be that I killed the first emperor, you are completely guilty of wanting to add to it." ”

Wang Guobao saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he hurriedly shrank aside, only hoping that the Queen Mother would not think of him, let alone argue for King Huiji.
