Chapter 42: Severe Punishment
The Empress Dowager is the emperor's grandmother, she vomited blood, and her father-in-law came to tell her that the emperor couldn't take it seriously.
Unless the court is discussing a hundred thousand urgent matters, the emperor will not be able to look at the empress dowager with the word "filial piety".
The emperor got up from the dragon chair with a gloomy face and hurried to the empress dowager's bedroom.
Gonggong Xiaofu didn't say anything about retiring from the dynasty when he took care of the emperor, and the hundred officials could only wait there, turning their heads and ears, and looking at each other.
The emperor's attitude towards the Sun family is very resolute, but the queen mother's body and bones, the emperor can't ignore it, I don't know if the queen mother's illness can protect the Sun family?
Wanshou Palace is the dormitory of the Empress Dowager.
When the emperor stepped in, the imperial doctor was administering needles to the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager was lying on the sickbed, her face pale and angry.
The emperor stepped forward to take a look, and was really startled, he hadn't seen the Queen Mother for a few days, and the Queen Mother's hair was mostly white, as if she was more than ten years old.
The emperor stood aside and watched, the imperial doctor pricked down a few silver needles, and the empress dowager slowly woke up, and there were still undried blood stains on the corners of her mouth.
Seeing the emperor, the Empress Dowager was grief-stricken, "If the emperor is still here, you will never be allowed to live in the Sun family like this......." ”
The Sun family is the emperor's great-grandfather's family.
It's just that in the emperor's family, the relationship between father and son is not deep, let alone the great-grandfather's family separated by generations.
For the Sun family, the emperor not only has no feelings, but is even a stumbling block on the emperor's way to seize the heir, because the empress dowager is towards the queen mother, towards the first prince and the six princes, not the emperor.
In the past, he didn't give him a lot of stumbling blocks, and after the emperor thought that after he ascended the throne, he was not lenient enough for the Sun family, and the empress dowager still had so many requirements for him, either he was confused or he was confused.
The emperor didn't speak, the empress dowager was angry and had a huge pain in her five organs, and the imperial doctor wanted to take her pulse, but the empress dowager raised her hand to avoid it, "I can't even protect my mother's family, what are you doing alive?!" ”
This sentence directly provoked the emperor's anger, and the emperor said coldly, "Just because of the protection of the empress dowager, the Sun family ate the bear's heart and dared to frame Wen Yuanbo, so that the emperor was infamy!" ”
"Now that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, the Empress Dowager will not kill her relatives righteously and protect her relatives to the end, does the Empress Dowager want me to be a faint king?!"
The last bbit of blood on the Empress Dowager's face disappeared.
She didn't expect the emperor's attitude to be so tough, and he didn't even care about the life or death of her, the imperial grandmother.
The Queen Mother walked in with the support of Concubine Bao, and just heard what the emperor said, and her eyes were dark and unpredictable.
Concubine Bao was silent on her face, but she was actually very happy in her heart, the woman Mu Qiang, if the emperor was forced by the Queen Mother to back down, Concubine Bao really didn't look down on such an emperor.
The majesty of the throne is the most attractive.
The Queen Mother stepped forward to help the Sun family intercede, and said, "The case of Uncle Wenyuan is full of suspicions, the so-called evidence pointing to the Sun family, the mourning family looks very false, the emperor does not need to be in a hurry to convict the Sun family for a while, and it is not too late to make a decision when it is clear." ”
The Queen Mother didn't say that the Sun family was wronged, after all, the evidence is not a decoration, this case is tried by the three divisions, and if the false evidence can fool them, they can all sue the old man and return to their hometown.
But if you can delay it for a while, maybe things will take a turn for the better.
The emperor knows what the queen mother is planning, some things can be delayed, and some things can't be delayed.
Now that the Empress Dowager is ill and the case of the Sun family is pressed, in the eyes of hundreds of officials, it is that he, the emperor, has succumbed and indulged in the Sun family.
At that time, there will be more ministers who intercede for the Sun family, and the case will be more difficult to adjudicate.
One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, not only on the battlefield, but also in the court.
The Empress Dowager carried the first emperor out, and the emperor also carried it, "Before the first emperor died, he told me not to interfere in the harem, is the queen mother going to meddle in the affairs of the Sun family?" ”
A political hat was buttoned down, and the Queen Mother's face changed.
Even the Queen Mother can't stand it.
The emperor looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "I know the Empress Dowager's feelings for the Sun family, but the Sun family has made too many mistakes, and the national law is intolerable. ”
"If you kill your relatives with righteousness, the Empress Dowager will definitely be praised by the people!"
After speaking, the emperor turned around and told the imperial doctor, "Take good care of the queen mother." ”
Dropping this sentence, the emperor strode away.
The Empress Dowager leaned on the big pillow, with more air in and less air out.
The Queen Mother watched the emperor walk away, the emperor's words made her panic, she always felt that the emperor was fledgling and not a climate, but the emperor could say that the queen mother would order the Sun family to deal with it, which was ruthless enough.
The emperor is not only determined to get rid of the Sun family, but also afraid of taking on the name of unfilial piety, so that the empress dowager will do it herself.
This is not to make the Queen Mother angry to death.
The Empress Dowager was angry with tears, but if she refused, she couldn't say a word.
First, he was angry, and secondly, although the emperor's words were a little ruthless, it was indeed the best choice for the queen mother at present.
retained the dignity of the empress dowager, and even fell into the reputation of "righteous annihilation".
Righteous Destruction of Relatives......
Righteous annihilation!
The Empress Dowager laughed miserably.
Listening to the Wanshou Palace, the back of the upper and lower backs was chilled.
The emperor went to the council hall and continued to discuss the government.
After the discussion of the government was over, the empress dowager did not send anyone to veto the emperor's proposal, and the emperor took her as if she agreed.
"The Empress Dowager is angry at what the Sun family has done, so I don't want to spare the Sun family in her face," the emperor said coldly.
"How to sentence is decided by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Inspectorate."
Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Dali Siqing and Liu of the Inspectorate stood up to receive the order.
Hundreds of officials sighed, the Sun family, which had been rampant and domineering for decades, actually fell like this.
And it was Shen Junshan who found out about this case.
The prestige of the second young master of the Northern Hebei Hou Mansion spread all over Kyoto.
He is a well-known gentleman in Kyoto, but he found out such a sensational case, how embarrassed Ji Beihou was for this second son before, and how proud and proud he is now.
Of course, Ji Beihou was both happy and incredulous in his heart, was this really his son's investigation?
The Sun family went up to the old lady and down to several old men, and was sentenced to beheading.
Other side branches and juniors were exiled for thousands of miles, and the female dependents were used as official slaves......
The Sun family is a relative of the emperor and the country, and has enjoyed decades of glory and wealth, and now they are going to be exiled, they really can't stand such a gap, and they are also used as official slaves.
When the news reached the ears of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager was even more sad and became more ill.
The queen mother was bent on adding to Shen Junshan's blockage, and asked the emperor to issue an amnesty for the first emperor's marriage to Shen Junshan's fiancée, the Sun family was guilty, but since he was not executed, the emperor's marriage was still counted.
The Queen Mother felt sorry for Miss Sun Liu's family and had nowhere to go, so she asked Shen Junshan to marry her as soon as possible.
This thing is disgusting, but there is nothing to be done, who let this be the marriage of the emperor.
The Queen Mother took Sun Liu's girl into the palace and asked her to take care of the Queen Mother, this chess piece with hatred will marry into the Northern Hebei Hou Mansion one day, and the North Hebei Hou Mansion will definitely be able to make trouble.
The marriage given by the emperor can't be divorced if you want to.
Yan Ning felt sorry for her cousin, and was also afraid that Miss Sun Liu would harm the Northern Hebei Hou Mansion, so she begged the emperor to take back the holy decree of the emperor to give marriage, and fulfill Shen Junshan and Yunchu.
The emperor has one head and two big, "I can rely on you for other things, but only this one, I can't help if I want to." ”
If the marriage of the former emperor was so easy to retract, he would not have married the concubine into the palace.
The roots of the first emperor's ears were too soft, and it was not easy to favor the queen mother, and it was not easy to hand over the throne to the king of Qi.
Yan Ning also knew that this matter was difficult to do, Yun Chu persuaded her not to embarrass the emperor, Yan Ning looked at her, "Then what should you and your cousin do?" ”
Yun Chu shook his head at her, "I still have to serve you in the palace for two years, and I'll talk about it later." ”
Shen Junshan's kindness to Uncle Wenyuan's mansion, she can't pay it back in her life.
Shen Junshan was assassinated in Liangzhou before, although when she knew, Shen Junshan was already safe and sound, but Yun Chu made up her mind at that time, even if she was a concubine for him, she would never complain.
But she can't be the master of her family affairs.
Yan Ning comforted Yun Chu and said, "I know the second cousin's temperament best, unless he is willing, he will not want to force him to marry with a knife on his neck." ”
"The second cousin loves you, he will definitely think of a way to marry you with the best of both worlds, and he will never wronged you."
Yun Chu nodded.
Shen Junshan refused to marry now on the grounds that his injury had not healed, and the Queen Mother did not take him seriously.
But the Queen Mother is not in a hurry, Miss Sun Liu lives for a day, she is his fiancée for a day, he can rely on it for a while, and he can't rely on it for a lifetime, and he doesn't dare to kill Miss Sun Liu.
In order to better block the Hou Mansion in northern Hebei, the Queen Mother also found a backer for Miss Sun Liu and recognized her stepmother.
The person the Queen Mother is looking for, it must be towards the Queen Mother, and the sixth girl Sun is going to marry the Northern Hebei Hou Mansion, and it is too late to be happy with such an in-law.
