Chapter 3: Worship (3)
On the second day, the body of the palace maid Ah Liang was found outside the gate of Jianzhang Palace, although it was not worth much because it was a slave's life, and it was quickly dealt with quietly, but the matter was still spread throughout the palace. %D7%CF%D3%C4%B8%F3
After the banquet last night, the envoys of the four countries, including Yuan Lie, all left the palace and returned to their respective stations, and each handed over the letter of state to Tuoba Hong, discussing the territorial dispute and the important task of jointly fighting against the Xiongnu. After reading the excerpts, Tuoba Hongfang got up and wanted to go to the harem and learned that a palace maid died unexpectedly during the night banquet.
He didn't know it, but an internal supervisor beside him reminded: "The deceased person is a first-class palace maid next to Concubine Jing, named Ah Liang." β
"Ah Liang?" As Concubine Jing's confidant, not to mention having a head and face in the harem, even the emperor has some impressions. He frowned and said, "Don't be careless about this matter. The Punishment Department was ordered to thoroughly investigate the cause of Ah Liang's death. β
In this way, the matter came to light two days later, and it was found out that Hui Zhaoyuan Lin personally killed the palace maid.
Tuoba Hong only felt angry when he heard the report, got up and went to the newly repaired Yuzhao Palace to pull Lin Yuan, who was taking a nap, out, and said, "I spoiled you in the day!" I know that you have a brutal temperament, and you are jealous of Concubine Jing, but no matter what, you can't kill her personal palace maid to get angry! Yuan'er, you are no longer gentle and cute! β
Lin Yuan in front of him gradually burst into tears.
Tuoba Hong was soft-hearted after all when he saw her like this, and swallowed the words of punishing her for grounding: "I will punish you for half a year's monthly ......"
"Your Majesty!" Lin Yuan cried and said, "Why don't you listen to the concubine's explanation!" The concubine did not admit punishment! β
"Oh! What else do you have to justify! Tuoba Hong said coldly: "If you don't change your mistakes, you really disappointed me!" β
"When is the concubine at fault!" Lin Yuan's face was full of stubbornness: "Your Majesty, that night the concubine went out to blow the wind because she was too strong to drink." The palace maid Ah Liang came to look for the concubine, and the concubine thought she was kind, but unexpectedly...... She pushed her concubine into the pool of liquid...... At that time, there was only Chu Xue by the concubine's side, and Ah Liang had some kung fu, and the concubine almost ......"
Tuoba Hong was shocked: "What did you say? Ah Liang ...... I want to assassinate you! Why didn't you say it earlier! β
"Because there was no one around at that time, even if you say it, there is no evidence, but people will suspect that the concubine is trying to frame Concubine Jing!" The more Lin Yuan cried, the worse she became.
At that time, Ah Liang tried to be with her, just to take advantage of the fact that there was no one around in the night. At this time, Lin Yuan just took advantage of this, as long as she insisted that Ah Liang wanted to assassinate with bad intentions, but the emperor was suspicious but could not find evidence and could not clear Ah Liang's innocence, the more this matter became more and more yellow, and Concubine Jing had no choice.
Tuoba Hong was furious, and immediately summoned Yao Fusheng and ordered him to go down to investigate the events of that night. He also told Lin Yuan: "This kind of thing has happened, you don't go out and walk around in the past few days." There are also six princes who should also be optimistic. β
Lin Yuan lowered her head and said yes, Tuoba Hong pulled her shoulders and stared at her face: "Also, Yuan'er." The Mongolian king Yuanlie came uninvited, and you don't have to attend the celebrations of various countries in the past few days. You should know the proportions. β
"Yes, how could the concubine not understand." Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "The concubines don't want to see the violent and hateful face of the Mongolian king. β
"Yes, I believe you." Tuoba Hong turned around and left, and sent Concubine Jing to Jianzhang Palace for questioning.
Because the envoys of the four countries were all in the capital, the harem scandal could not be reported, and Tuoba Hong also suppressed the news when he thoroughly investigated Ah Liang, only claiming that a palace maid accidentally fell into the water and died by the Taiye Pool.
Lin Yuan in the harem is still on the board with Zhao Zhaoyi, and everything seems to be smooth and smooth. It's just that the six princes in the Yuzhao Palace were infected with the wind cold, and Lin Yuan took care of them behind closed doors, and he didn't see anyone for a few days, and he pushed many things to Zhao Zhaoyi.
And Concubine Jing in the Hehuan Hall of Huayang Palace waved her hand resentfully at this time and swept a table of sumptuous lunches to the ground.
"Lin slut!" For the first time, she spit out the foul words of the market: "I don't know how to be honest and shameless with the Mongolian king, and I killed my Ah Liang!" β
"Niangniang, Hui Zhaoyuan kills people and kills people, Niangniang might as well completely poke out the matter of her and the Mongolian king in front of the emperor!" A grandmother helped Concubine Jing and said: "This kind of thing, as long as the emperor is suspicious, even if she can't find evidence, it's enough for her!" β
"You think Hongu doesn't want to do this!" Concubine Jing was furious, waved her sleeves away from the grandmother, and smashed a jewelry box on her hand: "She is not afraid of the emperor at all." She beat Ah Liang to death, and spread rumors that Ah Liang wanted to assassinate her! She just wants the emperor to intervene in a thorough investigation! β
Concubine Jing knew in her heart that Hui Zhaoyuan dared to use Ah Liang's death as a lead to use the emperor's power to thoroughly investigate the night banquet that night, that is, she was not afraid of leaking out the matter between herself and the Mongolian king. If you say "kill people and kill people", Concubine Jing doesn't believe it very much. She learned that Lin Yuan was privately entangled with the Mongolian king, which was the news that she had found out in Qiu Mizhong as early as two years ago. Presumably, Lin Yuan also noticed this when he fought with Ah Liang last night - Lin Yuan did everything well, and when he was talking to Chu Xue in the pavilion, there were already a few inner eunuchs secretly guarding Xiao Chengzi around him. It is impossible for Ah Liang to overhear her conversation with Chu Xue to learn her secret.
The purpose of killing Ah Liang is not to extinguish the mouth.
It's about involving the emperor.
Concubine Jing took advantage of the Mongolian king's visit to Qin, so she sent Ah Liang to provoke Lin Yuan, if Lin Yuan showed traces in front of the emperor in a panic, it would be effortless to achieve the best effect.
Lin Yuan was indeed angered by Ah Liang, but what Concubine Jing didn't expect was that her reaction was not to hurriedly find a way to cover up, but to kill someone.
Concubine Jing sat down slowly, she felt the coldness of her limbs - hateful woman! Not only was she not afraid that the emperor would notice that the Mongolian king was in love with her, but she even took the initiative to attract the emperor's attention! Once the emperor starts to investigate thoroughly, it will be inconvenient for him to act on his own side!
Her purpose is to use the power of the emperor to restrain her secret movements?
Why do you?
Could it be that he has already realized his ......
Oh, my God! Concubine Jing's scalp was numb, although she had learned Lin Yuan's secret two years ago, she thought she had grabbed her handle, and she would do it as soon as the time came today. On the surface, she took the lead, and laid a trap early to wait for Lin Yuan's prey to enter the net. However, if Lin Yuan had also discovered her plan earlier......
No! Concubine Jing bit her lip. Lin Yuan may know that she intends to use the Mongolian king against her, but it should be impossible to know the specific layout.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer, Lin Yuan, you are not a god either!
This time, let's split the winners.
The Mongol king and the envoys of various countries in the post house outside the palace were somewhat calm, and they were safe for a few days. On the eighth day of the first lunar month after Chinese New Year's Eve, the Four Kingdoms paid tribute to the Qin court, and on that day, dozens of chariots loaded with jewels and treasures, spices and silks, and golden beauties drove into the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, and the grand scene was unusual. At the end of the carriage and horse, Mongolia presented a thousand catties of Changbai Mountain treasures and rare beasts such as snow apes, white tigers, man-bears, and giant pythons. The pearl and jade gold is not enough, and it is not allowed to be peeped into the car, but those terrifying beasts that are locked in cages and roar to the sky from time to time are full of eye-catching, and the people of the capital flock to the palace gate to see the excitement, and the alleys are empty for a while.
Seeing the gorgeous tributes of various countries, Tuoba Honglong's heart was happy, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded countless treasures of the Qin State to the nations. Gifts are still exchanged, Daqin is the most powerful country in the world, and has experienced many pilgrimages over the past hundred years. The people of the Central Plains cherish face the most, and every time the countries offer tribute, the emperor of Qin will turn to reward more generous gifts to promote the prestige of the country.
Lin Yuan was noncommittal about this approach. If the country is really strong, it is just a matter of loving face. If it is like the Southern Song Dynasty...... Oh hehehe.
The tributes offered by various countries were quickly distributed by the emperor, and all the princes and nobles and royal relatives in the capital were rewarded, and the harem concubines were also very lively. A small inner supervisor knocked on the door and entered the Yuzhao Palace to ask to see Lin Yuan, and said: "Zhaoyi Niangniang distributed rewards at the Shanggong Bureau, and the masters and ladies of each palace have arrived, which is very lively. Zhaoyi Niangniang sent a servant to ask Zhaoyuan Niangniang's meaning, is the tribute still distributed according to the previous rules? β
"This is a trivial matter, just ask Zhaoyi Niangniang to call the shots." Lin Yuan held his chin and said absentmindedly. After a while, he remembered something, and said: "After this year, it is the eleventh year of Qianyuan, although His Royal Highness Changning's marriage is not in a hurry, it should be prepared in advance." If you go back to Zhaoyi Niangniang, you will say that the palace advocates giving the 1,000 nine-eyed dzi dzi that the Great Moon Kingdom paid tribute to His Royal Highness. β
"Yes." The inner supervisor retreated. Lin Yuan passed the lunch tiredly, and Chu Tao said on the wall of the cloth for her: "Niangniang's kindness to Zhao Zhaoyi's mother and daughter is not enough, why do you want to give all the precious dzi to His Royal Highness Changning!" β
"Do you think that's enough?" Lin Yuan raised her eyes and glanced at her.
Chu Tao bowed his head and didn't dare to speak. Lin Yuan said: "Among the concubines in the palace who are good friends with me, only she is the most powerful and can speak in front of the emperor." This time, Yuan Lie came to the Qin State with ill intentions, but he didn't think that Concubine Jing would also participate in it. I'm only afraid that there will be more luck and less luck, and I am no longer wooing Zhao Zhaoyi, but asking for help. β
"Mother, what should we do now!" Chu Xue sent Chu Tao out, and personally served on the side and said anxiously: "The emperor ordered Niang Niang not to go out...... It's actually grounded! β
"The emperor has always been suspicious and domineering by nature, if Yuan Lie stays in the palace for a long time, he can't bear it, I'm afraid he will vent his anger on me." Lin Yuan's words were full of resentment.
The men she has met in her life are all wonderful, and there is no need to mention the emperor Tuoba Hong, who sits on the world, in order to brush him, he almost exhausted Lin Yuan's life and youth. As a result, this Yuan Lie is more bizarre than Tuoba Hong, with a greedy and violent personality and a strong possessiveness.
In her last life, her fiancΓ© was a typical affordable man, no matter where she did, she died and took others away. Then in this life, God used these two strange things to abuse her. If Tuoba Hong was an ordinary man, Lin Yuan felt that it could still be considered, but he was the emperor, and the emperor had his own scum attributes.
