Chapter 91: The Five Princesses Have Become the Target of Public Criticism
After the mother and daughter finished talking, the empress ordered the prince and the empress dowager of Dongping, who were waiting outside, to come in.
Cao Fuma was also called in, and he helped the queen daughter in.
The empress's eyes looked at the two of them, and an emotion that could be seen through without words floated on her face, but the empress quickly hid it.
Several children of the royal family came to mourn the Emperor Ren.
After that, it is a thick burial according to the highest specifications of the royal family, and hundreds of officials send condolences and play mourning music!
The coffin went out of the harem, and when it arrived at the front hall, the ceremony was much grandest.
It's a pity that there is a lack of family affection, only red tape.
Li Qingqing watched the funeral procession of Emperor Ren's side monarch leave the palace little by little, and felt a little emotion in his heart, feeling that life is impermanent and life is fleeting. Even if she was dissatisfied with Emperor Ren's side, looking at the coffin at the moment, she suddenly calmed down a lot.
Li Qingqing let out a sigh, and after seeing the team leave the palace, he went back to the palace first under the pretext of being unwell.
The empress allowed her to go back, but when she left, she didn't forget to remind her, "Under the nest, there are no eggs." Think about it! ”
Li Qingqing didn't answer, and the pace of leaving the palace was getting faster and faster.
In the palace, Mama Zhang frowned and stamped her steps, and after seeing Li Qingqing coming back, she hurriedly ran up and had something to say, but the news leaked out, so she deliberately lowered her voice.
"Your Royal Highness, Gonggong Feng sent a message that Beixing said that the murderer of Prince Changming had fled to Daqi and asked Her Majesty the Empress to hand over the people! And Beixing has already sent an envoy to discuss the matter in detail. ”
"Sure enough, I'm really afraid of something!"
Li Qingqing can be very sure at this time, the death of Emperor Ren's side monarch is definitely not a suicide, but someone deliberately did it in order to provoke the Three Kingdoms War. It's just that who is that person, does the mother know it?
In the palace, the empress, who had just sent the coffin to the funeral, also knew about it.
The empress took a deep breath, lowered her head and rubbed her temples, before she cheered up and faced this matter, "Spread the Beixing ambassador!" ”
The father-in-law of the royal front immediately went to pass it on.
Not long after, the Beixing envoys entered the palace, and all the courtiers were already listed.
Meng Peiliang, the envoy of Beixing, stepped on the various eyes of the ministers of the Great Qi State, walked with his head high, and his body was deliberately straight.
"Beixing envoy Meng Peiliang has seen Her Majesty the Empress!"
"Excuse me!" The empress waved her hand and said lazily.
The corners of Meng Peiliang's mouth hooked, and an evil smile appeared in his eyes, but when he looked up, he quickly hid his expression.
"Presumably, His Majesty and the ministers already know about the death of Prince Changming. We have found out the murderer, but the murderer has absconded in the territory of Daqi, and in order to show respect, I also ask His Majesty to send someone to arrest him. ”
"Oh? Who is the killer and where is he? ”
Meng Peiliang sneered, "Who is the murderer, if the minister can name it, he doesn't need to ask Daqi for help." The minister only knew that the murderer was in the territory of the Great Qi Kingdom, and that's it! ”
Meng Peiliang's words were arrogant and lazy, and he didn't feel his eagerness to avenge the prince at all, but was full of indifferent gestures.
A certain minister of Daqi stood up dissatisfiedly and accused, "Beixing said that the murderer is in our Daqi, and he can't say any characteristics of the murderer, the old body has reason to suspect that Beixing is taking the opportunity to stir up trouble!" ”
After the female minister finished speaking, Meng Peiliang unceremoniously scolded, "The murderer is masked, so I naturally can't see it." Our people have been chasing and killing the murderer, and the murderer jumped into the Great Qi Realm, which is what we have seen with our own eyes. The only thing that is certain at present is that the murderer is in the Great Qi Kingdom.
Please also ask Her Majesty to help us find the murderer! ”
Minister Daqi stood up and objected, "Your Majesty, if you just rely on the words of the Beixing envoy to use my Daqi manpower and material resources, wouldn't it be easy to be laughed at by people and money!" ”
Meng Peiliang, the envoy of Beixing, immediately retorted, and his tone changed to lazy, becoming sharp and fierce, "If Your Majesty does not send someone to look for it, it will inevitably make people feel that the Great Qi State is suspected of harboring the murderer, and even make people suspect that the murderer is the mastermind of the Great Qi State." Spread out like this, I see how the Great Qi Kingdom can still gain a foothold on this continent! ”
"Nonsense!" The empress suddenly turned cold, and her jade hand slapped the imperial case fiercely, "My Daqi has always been fair and strict, how can I do such a thing!" ”
"Then please give the order of the fair and strict Your Majesty to arrest the murderer!"
The empress frowned, and the hairpin on her head swayed.
The ministers of the Great Qi Kingdom were silent, and everything seemed to be forbidden.
After a long time, the empress spoke, "Pass the order down and arrest the murderer!" ”
Meng Peiliang bowed, "Weichen thanked Your Majesty for Beixingguo!" ”
The empress snorted coldly and raised her hand to rub her forehead.
I thought that the matter was over and it was time to retreat, but who knew that the empress was just about to shake her hand, Meng Peiliang raised her head again, still kneeling, and folded her hands in front of her, "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to ask!" ”
The empress's patience was running out, "Ask!" ”
The face of the minister of the Great Qi Kingdom was as black as mud.
Meng Peiliang turned a blind eye and continued to ask, "If the murderer is caught, how should Your Majesty deal with it?" ”
"Kill and avenge the prince of Beixing!"
"Good!" The corners of Meng Peiliang's mouth raised, "Please also ask Your Majesty to remember this sentence, and also ask the ministers to testify!" ”
The ministers turned their heads and did not want to testify.
"Retreat!" The empress waved her hand.
Only then did Meng Peiliang bow down and retreat.
The empress went to the harem angrily, today's events are very strange, the world understands that once the murderer is caught, he will definitely be interrogated and sentenced. What's more, the murderer appeared in the territory of the Great Qi Kingdom, and the empress would not favor the murderer, but that Meng Peiliang had to say a way to deal with it.
This inevitably didn't make the empress feel that she had fallen into a trap, but she was forced to be angry by Meng Peiliang in the main hall, and she actually said it for a while, and she couldn't change it if she wanted to change it now.
Also, the prince of Beixing happened to die before and after the side monarch of Emperor Ren, is there any connection between the two?
"Someone! Chuan Tingwei Zhong Chuyue! ”
"Biography, Tingwei Zhong Chuyue!" The little father-in-law preached.
Not long after, Zhong Chuyue entered the palace with a roaring cat, and the empress whispered a few words to her, and the little father-in-law outside the door wanted to listen to it on his stomach through the crack of the door, but he couldn't hear anything, only heard a few words of Zhong Chuyue's kindness.
In the palace of the King of Huangge, Li Qingqing also knew about it, and Gonggong Feng had been secretly passing on information to him.
Li Qingqing understood that the mother emperor was going to send someone to secretly investigate the truth about the death of Emperor Ren's side.
So, what about the murderer of Prince Changming, who will be sent to investigate, or will he find someone to hand over temporarily?
However, what Li Qingqing didn't expect was that the other party would target her. Only a day later, the other party submitted various pieces of evidence to prove that the murderer was her.
In the main hall, Meng Peiliang pointed out that Li Qingqing was the murderer in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and also presented the so-called evidence to everyone.
"See, this grilled fish that was cut down by five horses and divided into corpses was sent by the five princesses to His Royal Highness.
The end of this fish is exactly the end of our Highness. So it was difficult for Wei Chen not to suspect that the five princesses were secretly buying murder at this time! ”
"Nonsense!" Imperial Doctor Cui Tianfang stood up and accused, "Why did the five princesses kill Prince Changming? Who would be stupid enough to give a hint before killing? ”
