Chapter 396: Turn the other cheek

Emperor Xianqing entrusted the task of interrogating Ye Laixiang and those guests to the Criminal Department.

Zhao Jingchuan jury.

After three days, a thick stack of confessions was presented to the emperor.

"Father, the confessions of these people are roughly correct, and the discrepancies are not big, so they should be credible." Zhao Jingchuan said, "Only that night primrose went back on his word and refused to admit what he said that day, but four or five people admitted that they went to find night incense not to have fun, but to get a task, they did not directly participate in the assassination, each of them had a different number of dead soldiers, and those dead soldiers were scattered in Qinyifang, and they obeyed Ye Laixiang." ”

After a few days, Zhao Jingchuan also understood one thing, that is, Empress Dowager Xiao had close contacts with Tianxiang Pavilion in the Western Regions, and wanted to support King Qin to ascend the throne......

Thinking of the fact that he followed Zhao Jinghuan and helped Wu Ya find out Yu Linglong's whereabouts, he was extremely annoyed.

He felt that he had no face to see Zhao Jinghuan again.

"Got it, you go down!" Emperor Xianqing waved at him, looking at those confessions with a gloomy face, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, Gonggong He served tea and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you want to invite His Royal Highness King Jing to ......come over?"

"No need." Emperor Xianqing flipped through those confessions, and his expression was silent, "Spread the night wind into the palace." ”

He is fair.

"Your Majesty, it's all clear." Yefeng had already prepared, and also submitted a confession, and said expressionlessly, "What Princess Xiang said is true, the Empress Dowager Yu's palace that Ning Mama is indeed in the capital, and the Empress Dowager Yu's handwritten letter is revealed by Mama Ning to Princess Jing, she said, after Empress Dowager Yu returned to the palace, Empress Dowager Xiao secretly made trouble at every turn, Empress Dowager Yu once said that if she had an accident, it must be done by Empress Dowager Xiao, she just had a cold, it was Empress Dowager Xiao who ordered someone to poison the medicine, and the person who poisoned her was Mama Ning's good sister Mama Gu, after Empress Dowager Yu died, Mama Gu was in suspense day and night, once mentioned this matter to Mama Ning, and said that she would die soon, but she didn't want to be killed by the Empress Dowager Xiao later, and Su Gan's prescription, the former imperial hospital envoy, did not make any mistakes, but was innocently implicated and became the scapegoat of the two palace dowagers. ”

Emperor Xianqing blackened his face, got up and walked out.

Gonggong He didn't dare to follow up.

Empress Dowager Xiao saw Emperor Xianqing suddenly arrive with Gonggong He, and said with mixed feelings: "How can the emperor come over today......

Before, Emperor Xianqing came to ask for peace two times in three days, and asked for warmth.

Since she came back from the hunting ground, she hasn't come much, not only has she not come, but she has seen her on weekdays, and she has become more and more cold.

"All of you go down!" Emperor Xianqing sat down in his robe, waved his hand at Gonggong He and Aunt Cheng, and said in a cold voice, "I have something to say to the Queen Mother." ”

Aunt Cheng looked at Empress Dowager Xiao and served tea to the two.

Know-how retreats.

Seeing Gonggong He standing under the porch expressionlessly, he stepped forward and said, "Is there good news in the northwest?" ”

I heard that since the death of General Xiao, Dier has repeatedly violated the border.

Although Yong'an Hou led the army to resist the enemy, there were many victories and few losses, but after all, the war had started, and it was different from the past.

"This is something you and I can discuss." Grandpa He obviously didn't want to tell her this, and said coldly, "Auntie, even if you're busy, I'm here here!" ”

Aunt Cheng glanced at him coldly, turned around and left.

Dead eunuch, what's the big deal.

She had barely taken a few steps when she felt a gust of wind blow in her back, and then she fell limply to the ground, not knowing anything.

The night breeze lifted her up and strode into her Zhiluo Palace.

The main hall of Cining Palace, quietly.

Needle drops can be heard.

Emperor Xianqing was silent for a long time, looked directly at the Empress Dowager Xiao, and slowly spoke: "My biological mother, Yu, was born a little lowly, but she first lived in the palace with patience, and then escaped from the palace, suffering from displacement...... I don't think she's a threat to the Queen Mother. ”

"Where did the emperor hear about these ......" Empress Dowager Xiao immediately changed her face, shook her head and said, "When Empress Dowager Yu died of illness, the mourning family was also very sad, how could the mourning family harm her, it was obvious that Su Qian used the wrong medicine, so something went wrong, the emperor, you have to believe in the mourning family, the mourning family will not do such a thing." ”

"Su Qiantang, the envoy of the Tai Hospital, how can he diagnose even a small wind chill?" Emperor Xianqing was not angry, and said calmly, "Before, it was Shu who trusted the Empress Dowager and concluded that the Empress Dowager would not harm Shu's biological mother, so it made a big mistake and killed the Su family by mistake, dare to ask the Empress Dowager, can you sleep peacefully in these Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

"Your Majesty ......" Seeing that Emperor Xianqing was so calm, Empress Dowager Xiao was a little panicked, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, without evidence, you can't wronged the mourning family!" ”

She didn't leave any traces at the time.

Confidence will not be pierced, not to mention that more than ten years have passed since this incident, and human and material evidence has long been found.

"Dare to ask the Queen Mother, how did Mama Gu of Cining Palace die back then?" Emperor Xianqing asked coldly, Mama Gu and Aunt Cheng are the right-hand men of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and soon after the death of the Empress Dowager Yu, Mama Gu also fell ill and died.

"Why did the emperor suddenly ask about this?" Empress Dowager Xiao frowned and said, "It's all about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, and the mourning family can't remember it clearly." ”

She knows Emperor Xianqing best.

Even if he knew the truth of the matter, he wouldn't do anything to her.

"Since the Queen Mother doesn't remember, then I'll tell you!" Emperor Xianqing said lightly, "Back then, you let Mama Gu poison the medicine of the Empress Dowager Yu, after the death of the Empress Dowager Yu, Mama Gu was panicked, you were afraid that she would show her feet, so she simply got rid of her without doing anything, I have to say that the Empress Dowager did it decisively, but it was still a step late, Mama Gu had already told Mama Ning beside the Empress Dowager Yu about it, Mama Ning had been my nurse in the early years, and I allowed her to return to her hometown, and now, Mama Ning is still alive, should the Empress Dowager confront her face to face? ”

"The mourning family has no ......," Empress Dowager Xiao said with a pale face, "Your Majesty, back then, the mourning family and the emperor shared hardships, advanced and retreated together, and suffered from the torture of others, but now, is the emperor going to turn his face with the mourning family?" ”

The birds are all hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked.

She's still made it this far......

"The Queen Mother knows that I am not such a person." Emperor Xianqing said solemnly, "I have thoroughly investigated this matter, it doesn't matter if the Queen Mother doesn't admit it, justice is in the hearts of the people, and I have my own sense of proportion." ”

He knew that Empress Dowager Xiao understood him.

But he didn't know about Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao has said to him more than once that you should never admit anything that is not good for you, even if it is a knife on your neck.

Just like at this time.

"The emperor ......" Empress Dowager Xiao got up, knelt on the ground, and cried, "The mourning family has been in the palace for many years, not favored by the emperor, has no children under the knees, and has always regarded the emperor as a parent...... The emperor knows all this, and the mourning family is sincere, and he has never deceived the emperor......"

"But it's also true that you secretly have a relationship with Tianxiang Pavilion, intending to support King Qin and assassinate King Jing!" Emperor Xianqing looked at her fixedly, and said word by word, "The Empress Dowager Yu's matter, the Empress Dowager can not admit it, but the evidence in this matter is conclusive, and the human and material evidence are all there, does the Empress Dowager still plan to deny it?" ”

He never knew that Empress Dowager Xiao still had such a ability.

actually colluded with the people of Tianxiang Pavilion to do such pickled things.

"That's also because the emperor is undecided, and he has been delaying the establishment of the prince." Empress Dowager Xiao wiped her tears and said sadly, "Since the virtuous prince went, every time someone in the court proposed to set up another prince, the emperor always turned a deaf ear, and even the princes were worried. ”

"It is my business to appoint who is the prince, and there is no need for the Queen Mother to interfere." Emperor Xianqing said sharply, "King Jing is also my own son, even if the Queen Mother supports King Qin, will she put him to death?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the mourning family is ruthless, the prince has always been thrilling to seize the heir, even if the mourning family doesn't do it, are all your princes safe and sound?" Empress Dowager Xiao smiled sadly, and said absolutely, "If the emperor had established the prince earlier, it would not have been like this, if you want to blame, you will blame the emperor himself, the Wei family is just some poor and sour talents, where can they compare to our Xiao family, all of them are brave and belligerent, and the mourning family does this for the sake of the beam, this world is not only the emperor's world, but also the world of the mourning family......"

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, not to mention the prince and grandson

She admits she did nothing wrong.

"The Queen Mother finally told the truth...... Emperor Xianqing got up, looked at her with great disappointment, and said hatefully, "It turns out that you have always felt that you have a share in this world, so you unscrupulously meddle in the affairs of the government, and even secretly plan to establish a prince, you keep saying that it is for me, but everything you have done, where will I be!" ”

"On the day the emperor ascended the throne, he knelt in front of the mourning family and said that he would never live up to the mourning family, but he didn't expect that now, it has become an empty word...... "Empress Dowager Xiao laughed dryly, "First accused the mourning family of killing the Empress Dowager Yu, and now accuses the mourning family of interfering in political affairs. ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to be excited." Emperor Xianqing said slowly, "Until now, I still won't let down the Queen Mother, I won't convict the Queen Mother, and I won't criticize the Queen Mother, but this Cining Palace, the Queen Mother will never be able to get out again." ”

"Your Majesty......" Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Emperor Xianqing with despair, "Is the emperor really so ruthless?" The emperor knows that as long as the Empress Dowager Yu is in one day, your life experience will be mentioned again and again, and the mourning family does this for the good of the emperor! ”

"That's it, it's better that you and I don't see each other again in this life!" Emperor Xianqing took a deep look at her, and walked out of his sleeves, what was wrong with Empress Dowager Yu? Could it be that she is at fault because of her humble status? Or was it her fault that she gave birth to him?

Gonggong He greeted him: "Your Majesty, Aunt Cheng used the Truth Pill, and she was recruited, Empress Dowager Yu was indeed the hand of Empress Dowager Xiao, Imperial Physician Su Qiansu was wronged, and the assassination of His Royal Highness King Jing was also arranged by Empress Dowager Xiao." ”

"Blockade Cining Palace, no one is allowed to enter or leave." Emperor Xianqing looked back at the exquisite palace buildings, and muttered, "The daily supply remains the same, let the night breeze lead people to guard it!" ”

He is fair.

Rong Jiu soon got the news.

Immediately went back to the house and reported the matter to Zhao Jinghuan: "Your Highness, do we want to present the evidence we found in Nanzhili to the front of the palace, Empress Dowager Xiao fell, pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and the King of Qin and King Qi also hurried to tell the emperor about it!" ”

He couldn't wait to take this opportunity to wipe out the King of Qin and the King of Qi.

That way, no one will trouble his master.

"What's the hurry?" Zhao Jinghuan said calmly, "Eat bite by bite, do things one by one, let's hold on to the soldiers first, let's see the excitement first." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao fell, and it was not him who was most anxious.

It was the King of Qin and the King of Qi.

Sure enough, Zhao Jingwei was the first to sit still.

When he heard the news, he went to the palace to meet him.

Emperor Xianqing didn't want to see him.

Let him go back to his house and think about it.

Who knows, Zhao Jingwei knelt outside the door of the imperial study, and kept saying that he was wronged and used as a pawn.

Empress Xiao also rushed over to intercede with Zhao Jingwei.

Emperor Xianqing turned them away.

Feng Guifei sneered: "The queen has been showing off her power these days, but she still can't figure it out, the emperor asked her to come back in order for her to fight with Cining Palace, and now that Cining Palace has fallen, what use does she have?" ”

When I thought of the days when Empress Xiao had just returned to favor, she looked aggressive.

She just wanted to laugh.

"As soon as the Queen Mother falls, King Qin is afraid that it will not be a climate." Mama Tang understood and echoed, "Although King Qi did not participate in it, I heard that he has been in and out of Cining Palace frequently recently, and the emperor will definitely think that King Qi is also the queen mother's person, so that His Royal Highness King Jing and His Royal Highness King Yu are left." ”

His Royal Highness King Yu also married a princess.

It's no worse than His Royal Highness King Jing.

What's more, His Royal Highness King Jing has a strange poison in his body, and his lifespan is difficult to last, so that His Royal Highness King Yu is left.

"I heard that King Yu has been jurying the case of Ye Laixiang recently, you sent someone to call King Yu, and this palace should ask him what is going on." Feng Guifei said proudly, "Recently, the emperor has valued our King Yu very much. ”

Mama Tang said yes, and immediately sent someone to Yuwang's Mansion to spread the word.

Zhao Jingchuan was busy pruning flowers and trees, and when he heard that Feng Guifei passed him, he immediately put down the scissors and went to Shutong Palace, and told Feng Guifei the truth about the night primrose case, Feng Guifei was not surprised: "This is nothing unusual, the Queen Mother supports King Qin, and she will naturally attack King Jing, is there anything else?" ”

Emperor Xianqing and Empress Dowager Xiao have always had a deep mother-son relationship.

Just because of this, the mother and son turned their faces, it seems unlikely, right?

"Other than that, Erchen hasn't heard of anything else." Zhao Jingchuan shook his head and said, "Erchen is just a jury, that's all he sees and hears." ”

"Has there been any movement in the Jingwang Mansion in the past two days?" Feng Guifei asked suddenly.
