Chapter 298: Motivation (1)
Empress Dowager Song knew that Tang Xingwu had evidence in her hands to frame the Su family, but she never knew that the other party was still holding the emperor's handbook! "What is the emperor's handwriting, it is impossible to ......"
The eldest princess of Hongyang sneered: "Whether it's true or not, you will know in a while, now, you might as well ask the emperor to take a look, how the queen mother sent the Su family and the Tang family, a total of two hundred and thirty-seven lives, to the point of no return!" ”
Two hundred and thirty-seven lives! was said so intuitively that even the Queen Mother herself was shocked.
Ji Erlan looked at Yang Zhen and saw that his expression was as dark as the pitch black under the abyss, although he was calm on the surface, he was afraid that he had already been swept by the storm inside.
An unknown emotion suddenly surged in her chest, and her heart was distressed and indignant, as if the tremor in his soul was felt by her! More than 200 lives were killed because of the Empress Dowager Song's own selfishness, so that the people who remained in this world struggled to survive with blood debts. Yang Zheng's heaviness, she only spied the tip of the iceberg at this moment, and what kind of pain and suffering should he himself endure.
She raised her gaze and stabbed the Empress Dowager Song fiercely, but the Empress Dowager Song seemed to have already been stabbed in her back and couldn't feel more targeted. Her face that was over forty years old but still beautiful looked a little distorted at the moment, and she gritted her teeth in a hoarse voice and said to the emperor: "The emperor is connected with the mourning family, do you really think that the mourning family has fallen, and you can be alone?!" ”
The Emperor's hand gripped the armrest of the chair, and his knuckles were white because he had pressed too hard. He looked at the evidence of the Su case and the Tang case in front of him with a gloomy expression, and said: "If the queen mother cares about a trace of flesh and blood affection, she will not carry me behind her back, and do these things that are not tolerated by heaven for her own selfish desires, where do you put your son?" You say, what exactly is your reason? ”
The Queen Mother trembled angrily, she had a reason, but she couldn't say it! One wrong step, one wrong step! If it hadn't happened back then, why would she have been cautious and have power in her hands! Everything she did was for their mother and son to live in this world in peace! But that reason can't be said! If so, it will be an eternal abyss!
The emperor saw that her face had completely faded, but she was still stubborn and arrogant, and suddenly lost the last trace of care, and said coldly: "Although the Queen Mother is my biological mother, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people!" He tensed his face, looked at the people below, and said, "You say, what should I do with the Queen Mother!" ”
The body of the Queen Mother trembled violently at the moment of the emperor's exit. Her face turned away from all blood in an instant, turning into an unusually terrible pale, which made everyone who saw her feel a chill rise from the bottom of their hearts.
The son who was raised with hard work, the son under the wings who has been dug out of his heart and lungs for many years, and he did everything possible to send him to the ninety-five position, and at this time he actually discussed with others to dispose of himself......
"The emperor is angry!"
"The emperor is angry!"
After all, the Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, how could she really want to execute the Queen Mother, but she just wanted to take the opportunity to cut off her interference in politics. At this time, the ministers should play a moderating role, which is the consciousness that a courtier should have. Therefore, led by Li Xiang, everyone knelt down and pleaded for mercy. Among them, several of them secretly served the Queen Mother, so this plea was very earnest, not only to give the emperor a step, but also to give themselves a way to live.
Zhang Xianting, the head of the household department, said: "Without the support of the queen mother, the emperor will inherit the throne at a young age, and he will definitely have to bear more pressure...... The Queen Mother has worked hard over the years, and she has made a lot of contributions, and her hard work cannot be ignored. ”
Zheng Tong, the secretary of the ministry, hurriedly echoed: "Yes, the emperor ......"
"Needless to say!"
The Queen Mother suddenly interrupted everyone's gossiping plea, since her son wanted to take this opportunity to dispose of her, there was nothing wrong with it. At the very least, you can make Duanwang and Hongyang and the others shut their mouths! If their purpose was simply to pull her down from the heights, then she was as they wished! "The matter of the Su family and the Tang family, the mourning family has admitted it, and since the emperor wants to deal with it, the mourning family has nothing to say. That's how it is! ”
"Queen Mother, this ......" Li Xiang and the others were stunned, but the Queen Mother's face was beyond doubt.
The emperor frowned, looked at the queen mother's tough attitude, and said with anger: "Take the queen mother down and move to Qingliang Palace for the time being!" Guarded! After careful discussion with the ministers, I will make a decision! ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she just smiled, looked at the eldest princess of Hongyang, and said, "The emperor's handwriting...... Where is the mourner's house, they want to see. ”
The eldest princess of Hongyang glared at the Queen Mother, as if she didn't expect her to confess so easily, without a trace of resistance. She thought that the room would be full of blood today. Even, she is ready to die with the Queen Mother. Now, although she can't deal with the Queen Mother immediately, as long as she is alive for a day, she won't let the other party live comfortably!
She looked at the emperor and presented the emperor's handwritten letter with both hands, and Li Zhonghan immediately stepped forward tremblingly and handed it to the emperor. The emperor hesitated, but opened it first and looked at it.
The Queen Mother stared at the emperor's face, and when she saw that his fingers trembled slightly, she couldn't help but step forward and snatch it.
Everyone watched the Queen Mother gradually show a look of madness and despair, and they couldn't help but hold their breath.
Ji Erlan and Yang Wei knew what was on it, and they couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw this, presumably the Queen Mother would be even more desperate when she saw the emperor's secret letter.
A life of trivial struggles, and eventually dissipates into conspiracy and calculation.
"Everything I've done is just a joke, Emperor...... He was so cruel to me! Sneer......" Empress Dowager Song sneered, her eyes seemed to be frozen by frost, and after the frenzy of pain and grief, her complexion gradually returned to normal. It seems to have been appointed and does not want to do any struggle.
Ji Erlan knew her intentions, she wanted to abandon the car to protect the handsome, but since the end had already started, she would not give the queen mother's mother and son a chance to breathe.
Therefore, when the emperor ordered the queen mother to be taken down and imprisoned, King Duan stopped him in a loud voice: "Slow. ”
A fluttering word, at this time, for the Queen Mother, it is like a thousand catties of giant ding, while she is out of breath, the cold has been running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head!
Sure enough, they had other purposes! She turned her face to look at the emperor suddenly, begging, fear, regret and other emotions passed through her eyes one by one, but how should she speak, let the emperor, who was still in the dark, open his mouth to stop everything!
It's too late, because King Duan has already spoken.
"The Queen Mother doesn't have to leave in a hurry, as the saying goes, there is a cause before there is an effect." King Duan seemed to think of something, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, and said: "The Tang family has suffered from the disaster of pond fish, so there is no need to ask the reason. But the Su family, this king has to ask the queen mother, why do you have to put all her doors to death? ”
The entire hall was silent, and the emperor, who thought that everything was over, frowned deeply. It seems that what King Duan wants to explore is what the Queen Mother has been hiding for many years. What would that be? What is at stake with this secret? It seems that Duanwang's purpose is not only to pull the Queen Mother down? He was suddenly alert and looked at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother sneered coldly and said, "Don't you know the reason? Naturally, it's because of Su Ran! She had already disappeared from this world, but she suddenly came back to compete with the mourning family for favor and took away all the attention of the emperor! The mourning family naturally hates her to the bone! ”
King Duan smiled unfathomably and said, "However, as far as this king knows, the Queen Mother's targeting of the Su family did not start with Su Guifei, because Su Guifei was already sick and would die soon. Your target starts with Su Guifei's brother Su Yun! ”
Everyone who didn't know why looked at each other, Su Guifei's brother? That Su Yun, who was deeply trusted by the emperor and served as the commander of the guards in front of the palace? How could the Queen Mother have anything to do with him. If it has a relationship, it is also because of Su Guifei, right? Why did King Duan say that the Queen Mother was going to target Su Yun from the beginning?
The Queen Mother didn't look at everyone, but raised her head and said: "Where did King Duan come from, the mourning family can't understand it." ”
King Duan didn't pay attention to the Queen Mother's stubbornness, but said: "Although the Queen Mother keeps that secret well, there is no impermeable wall in the world. At that time, Su Yun was a confidant of the former emperor and the commander of the guards in front of the palace. However, such a person suddenly died in an unpleasant way in a drunken brothel in a drunken house! ”
Su Yun's death made the Su family suffer great humiliation. Immediately winded, this kind of death on a woman's belly, even the people of the three religions and the nine streams are not ashamed to be exposed in front of people, not to mention the family of Zhong Ming Dingshi. Therefore, the impact of this incident was quite huge for the Su family at that time, and its reputation plummeted, which paved the way for the queen mother's next frame-up.
Duan Wang is nearly fifty years old, and he knows better than many people about the events of that year, and it is much easier than Yang Zheng to find out some things. Ji Erlan had learned from the Mask that King Duan had been painstakingly investigating the details. So she also used this clue to find out the queen mother's motive.
The Queen Mother straightened her back, looked at King Duan, and said: "Although it is incredible, but in the world, there are countless people who are different from the outside, and it is common for men to steal from time to time to seek pleasure, so what is there to take out and say?" ”
Duan Wang said: "If this is the case, then why did all the people involved have an accident afterwards, including the female trick who identified Su Yun at that time, who also contracted the disease and quickly lost her life." Isn't there someone who wants to destroy the evidence? ”
"Hmph, that's the speculation." The Queen Mother looked at King Duan mockingly and said: "Even if there is a suspicion, it may be that the Su family did it in order to cover up this matter, why do you want to put it on the mourning family!" ”
"The Queen Mother really doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back." King Duan didn't ask the emperor for instructions, so he directly ordered outside the palace: "Bring people up!" ”
The emperor's face was displeased and he wanted to ask, but the door of the palace had already been opened. There was a squeak, as if the hearts of everyone present were squeezed together.
