Chapter 973: The Granary
Princess Nan'an, their faces were solemn one by one.
I didn't hear that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, why did she suddenly die?
The king of Qi fled, hiding in the dark and making a lot of small moves, because of the "edict" of the first emperor, the queen mother's life restrained him, and the king of Qi did not openly rebel.
Now that the Queen Mother is gone, no one is suppressing the King of Qi, and the King of Qi will definitely rebel.
Although there is still a county lord in Kyoto, a daughter can't resist the ambition of King Qi.
Inside the Imperial Study.
The emperor is reviewing the recital.
The father-in-law ran in to tell the emperor about the queen mother.
The emperor was stunned, and before he could recover from the shock, the death knell had already sounded.
The emperor's face turned black into the background color of the pot.
He stood up from the dragon chair and said angrily, "Who allowed you to ring the death knell?!" ”
The father-in-law was taken aback by the emperor's anger.
The Queen Mother is gone, and it is the rule for the death knell to strike twenty-seven times.
Looking at the emperor's angry face, Father-in-law Fu also reacted, this death knell should not be struck, it should not be struck.
In this world, the only person who can suppress the rebellion of King Qi is the Queen Mother, regardless of the life or death of his biological mother, even if the King of Qi succeeds in rebellion, he will also be scolded and stinking for thousands of years.
Now the situation at the border is tense, although it is on par with Nanliang, but if the king of Qi raises troops at this time, it will undoubtedly add to the frost for the imperial court.
King Qi is far away outside Kyoto, the Queen Mother is dead, and she is still alive in the eyes of the world.
King Qi can't ignore the life or death of the queen mother.
It's good now, as soon as the Queen Mother swallowed her breath, she sounded the death knell quite unexpectedly.
Is this so urgent?!
Can't you wait for the emperor to nod and knock again?!
The emperor's brain hurts, he really didn't expect the queen mother to die at this time, he has already ordered the imperial doctor to take good care of the queen mother, and the queen mother must live.
Now that the death knell has sounded, it's too late to say anything more.
The emperor got out of the imperial study and went straight to Yongning Palace, he wanted to see why the queen mother was suddenly gone.
The father-in-law who rang the death knell was arrested and killed with a cane.
Outside the Yongning Palace, the guards did not retreat, and after watching the Queen Mother for so long, she was a little tired, but no one dared to relax.
Seeing the emperor coming angrily, they all stood upright.
The palace maids and eunuchs of Yongning Palace knelt on the ground, wailing endlessly.
When the emperor ordered people to be grounded in Yongning Palace, he said that if the Queen Mother had any three long and two short, Yongning Palace would give the Queen Mother a funeral.
In the past few months, they have not taken half a step out of Yongning Palace, and everything they eat and drink is sent by hand, and they feel aggrieved, but no one dares to slack off when they serve the Queen Mother.
The emperor walked in with his feet raised, and the palace maids and eunuchs knelt to get out of the way.
The emperor walked to the bed, and the queen mother was lying on the red sandalwood carved bed, her face was purple, and she died peacefully.
Gonggong Fu asked the palace maid, "I have repeatedly told you to take care of the Queen Mother carefully, why did the Queen Mother suddenly die?!" ”
The palace maids said with pale faces, "We don't know why the Queen Mother suddenly disappeared, half an hour ago, the Queen Mother also ordered us to find the phoenix robe she wore when she was canonized as the queen, and wait for her to put on the ......." ”
not only put on the queen mother's favorite phoenix robe, but also put on makeup, looking energetic.
Who would have thought that the Queen Mother would not be able to think of seeking death?
The emperor looked at the phoenix robe on the queen mother's body, and his face was as gloomy as he wanted.
She's smart.
There is only pain in life, but when you die, you can be buried with the dignity of the queen mother, and you can give the king of Qi an excuse to raise troops to rebel.
"Find out to me how the Queen Mother died!" The emperor's voice was as cold as frost.
The Imperial Physician hurried over.
When Yongning Palace was grounded, someone was sent to search it, and all the poison was taken away.
The Queen Mother doesn't look like she committed suicide by taking poison.
After the imperial doctor examined, he told the emperor, "The queen mother committed suicide by swallowing gold." ”
The high-flying Queen Mother finally ended up swallowing gold and committing suicide, which is really embarrassing.
But when I thought of the queen mother, she stole the beams and changed the pillars, killed the fetus in the queen's womb, and used the son of the king of Qi to pretend to be the prince and kill Concubine Yun...... If it weren't for the fact that Princess Jinning Fu Da was saved by Mrs. Dongxiang Hou, I don't know if there would be a chance for these dirty things to surface.
It is not a pity that the Queen Mother died.
And her death will bring even greater disaster to Daqi.
Living, harming.
Death is still harmful.
The emperor's eyes swept over the palace maid and eunuch who knelt on the ground, and asked, "Is there a testament left in front of the queen mother, and the funeral is simple?" ”
The palace maids and eunuchs were all stunned.
cleverly, nodded again and again, "The Queen Mother said, the funeral is simple." ”
The treasury is empty, the border is not enough money for wars, how can the emperor be willing to spend a lot of money to hold a funeral for a hated queen mother?
The emperor's face was cold, "Then follow the Queen Mother's instructions and keep the funeral simple." ”
Dropping this sentence, the emperor strode away.
Although the queen mother's funeral was simple, but after all, she was still the queen mother, and all joy was forbidden during the queen mother's funeral inside and outside the palace.
The women who ordered them to enter the palace to mourn the Queen Mother were basically the same as before.
It's just that the general burial of the Queen Mother is to accompany the burial of a bunch of gold, silver and porcelain, especially the things that the Queen Mother liked during her lifetime, will be buried with the Queen Mother.
But now, none of those things followed the Queen Mother into the ground.
Only those henchmen of the Queen Mother in Yongning Palace, the emperor allowed them to be martyred for the Queen Mother.
As soon as the Queen Mother died, the death knell was announced to the world.
As soon as the news reached the ears of King Qi, King Qi was grief-stricken.
The Queen Mother used her life to fulfill his son's ambitions.
King Qi grieved for half an hour, then raised troops, under the name of the emperor's unfilial piety and poisoning the queen mother, and wanted to enter Beijing to ask the emperor for an explanation!
The king of Qi was fully prepared for rebellion, and what Dongxiang Hou feared the most happened.
The King of Qi and the Duke of Chongguo were too familiar with the government of Daqi, and the King of Qi raised troops and went directly to the granary of Daqi.
He directly controlled the supply of border soldiers.
On the one hand, the Southern Liang repeatedly attacked the city, and on the other hand, the king of Qi controlled the granary of the imperial court.
After the Marquis of Dongxiang guessed the intention of the King of Qi, after the King of Nan'an County and the Marquis of Beining brought back twenty carriages of grain and grass for emergency, he immediately sent the Flying Tiger Army to receive the grain and grass, and sent a letter to the Duke of Chonglao, barely keeping a large granary in Daqi.
But these are not enough to deal with the war.
In the tent, the Marquis of Dongxiang and the old prince, the prince, and the marquis of northern Hebei discussed military affairs.
Where the people of the King of Qi have captured, the first time or 800 miles to expedite or fly the pigeon to send a message to tell them to know.
I have to say that Chongguo Gong is the son of Chonglao Guogong, the younger brother of the son of Chongguo Gong, and his strategic means are all unique.
It's a pity that it was used in the wrong place and went astray.
should have been able to become a minister of the court, but he became a big trouble for the court.
The king of Qi did not directly attack Kyoto, but occupied one granary after another, directly choking the lifeblood of the border soldiers.
Without grain and grass, the siege of the Southern Liang consumed the troops of Daqi, and when the time was ripe, the king of Qi would be able to form a sweeping trend.
The prince's face was solemn one by one, and the old prince looked at Dongxiang Hou and said, "Now the grain and grass in the army can be managed for more than a month, counting the granary under the protection of the old prince and the Wei family, it can barely last for three months." ”
But whether the grain and grass that are not in the army can be safely delivered is an uncertain number.
"Chong Lao Guogong doesn't dare to rush anymore, in case King Qi burns the grain and grass with a fire, no one will get it."
If the king of Qi can't get it, they can't do without grain and grass.
Dongxiang Hou was eager to peel off the skin of Chongguo Gong, he said, "Nanliang has transferred troops to the border pass again, it should be known about the King of Qi's control of grain and grass, and we can't disperse too many troops to destroy the King of Qi." ”
"For today's plan, burn the Nanliang granary first!"
