Chapter 4.12 Who are the suspects?
After the assassination incident, the emperor was furious. After the people of the capital have gradually forgotten the word "curfew" in their minds, the curfew has begun in the capital again. It is said that it has been almost ten years since the last curfew.
In those days, the whole city of the capital was under martial law, and the gates of the major cities were full of guards in military uniforms and swords at their waists, and people who entered and exited had to be checked, which made a lot of noise and made a lot of trouble for a whole month. The emperor also convened several imperial meetings for this purpose, and the former admiral of the capital gate was removed from his post for dereliction of duty, and the new admiral trembled, and entered the palace twice a day in the morning and evening to report to the emperor on the inspection of the day.
In such a tense atmosphere in the capital, Ji Shao and Shan Wan's wedding was not a big one, and it was naturally impossible for us to go to preside over the wedding, and the queen would not let us go out at all. She is now like a frightened bird, coming to the East Palace from time to time to see us. Because I was not there during the day, she wouldn't let me go out and asked me to stay in bed every day to recuperate. So, it's not that we go to say hello to her, but she often comes to say goodbye to us, uh, no, she comes to see us.
Since she often came in the evenings, we kept her for dinner. Anyway, now the emperor goes to Concubine Yang Shu's Bihan Palace every day, and it is estimated that he rarely eats with her. It's not fun for her to eat alone, so she simply comes over every day to eat with us.
Often during meals, I find her just sitting with chopsticks, her eyes constantly rolling around me and Tai. She's really scared, and if something happens to me and Tai this time, it will be devastating to her.
Since she came over, she naturally brought King Guangling over. I found out that she always intended to let me hold the child, hoping to cultivate my relationship with the child, but I really didn't have any interest in Xie Jiudi.
Actually, my mother once mentioned it. Let me raise Xie Jiu's son, so that even if I still don't have it in the end, I can raise this one. Didn't he recognize me as his mother and make me the queen mother?
But I don't think so. , updated the fastest. Maybe it's still possible. But his mother is Xie Jiu, a woman who competed with me for the throne and was finally driven out of the East Palace, to put it mildly, I am the enemy of this child. I don't want to work hard to raise someone else and end up making a wedding dress for someone else. Don't wait for his wings to harden. He didn't need me anymore, so he flattered his biological mother and left me aside.
When my mother heard me say this, she hinted to me that I could kill Xie Jiu, completely cutting off his thoughts.
But there is no permanent secret in this world. My feud with his mother is known to everyone in the harem, and if I adopt him, then his mother dies. Even if it is not me who harms people, it will be counted on my head, if he grows up in the future and wants to avenge his mother, then I don't steal chickens and don't fight back to eat rice?
The queen refused to give up. still brought Xie Jiu's son over every day, saying what to let me see him more so that he could have a younger brother. It makes me feel more and more funny about my child. The gender has been determined from the moment I became pregnant, so it is impossible that I was originally pregnant with a girl. As a result, she became a boy when she saw Xie Jiudi every day.
A month later, the curfew was finally lifted in the capital, the culprits were not found, and the new governor of the capital gate was removed from his post.
There is a lot of speculation about the mastermind of this assassination. Although "Sanyang" is also among the suspects, I think it is impossible. The children in Concubine Yang Shu's belly are undecided, so they will kill Tai first? In case Tai was killed, but Concubine Yang only gave birth to a daughter, wouldn't their Yang family cut off their own life?
King Qi is also one of the suspects, and I also think it's impossible. Because, he is relatively indifferent by nature, he is not such a power-hungry person, let alone a vicious person.
As for Shu Han and the former ministers of Eastern Wu, I don't think this is very likely. It was Tai's grandfather who destroyed Shu Handi, and it was Tai's father who destroyed Dongwu, even if these old ministers of the dead country were hard to get rid of, they should be against these two people if they wanted to kill them. Emperor Sima Zhao is dead, and there is no way to take him, but the current emperor is still there, if you want to assassinate him, you should assassinate him, what is the assassination too for?
Another major suspect is Cao Wei's remnants. I don't think this possibility is very likely, in the same way, it is the current emperor who is forced to let the emperor instead of the one, and there is a debt and a master, what is the matter? If you assassinate Tai, the emperor will just change to another Tai, maybe a smarter Tai, wouldn't that be more beneficial to the future of the Sima Dynasty?
In short, the two removed Admirals were really wronged and pitiful. I can't think of who the assassin will be if I think about it like this, if you want to chase the murderer, you have to have a direction, they don't even have a direction, they are like headless flies, how can you check? How to chase?
After the removal of the two unlucky admirals, the whole city and even the whole country discussed it enthusiastically for a month, and with the lifting of the curfew in the capital, the matter slowly cooled down, which is equivalent to the end of it.
Everything was back to normal again, and it was flowing slowly like the water of the Luo River. The palace has resumed singing and dancing, and the streets of Luoyang are still lively, as if there had never been an assassination incident. Even the crying of the car that day, the madness of running on the streets, and the experience of the hospital are gradually far away in my memory. My belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and I don't need to take the fetal pills, and the doctors are running to tell each other, "This child is really big, and he has not lost it after such a catastrophe, and the so-called chaos will not die, and there will be a blessing!" ”
Doesn't this imply that I am pregnant with some kind of destiny?
The queen naturally likes to listen to this kind of talk the most, and she smiles from ear to ear every day and rewards the few imperial doctors who are responsible for giving me a baby. Pity me and I was so frightened that we gave them a chance to get rich.
If you want me to say, the biggest suspects in the assassination case are these crooked quacks!
I haven't seen them cure any serious illnesses, and I don't know how they got into the hospital. During this period of my pregnancy, they would come over to me every day under the banner of being ordered to have a safe baby, say a few nice words, and then slip away (I didn't know if I ran out to drink flower wine!). Generally speaking, the biggest suspect is the biggest beneficiary, and who is the biggest beneficiary of this assassination? Aren't they just these quacks? These days, they have already made a small fortune just by relying on the queen's reward.
Unconsciously, Xiaocui also got married, and her wedding was held in the Taiwei Mansion. Speaking of which, Xiaocui is also pitiful, she has no home and doesn't know who her parents are. She was abducted and trafficked when she was a few years old, and she was transferred to my house when she was 10 years old. When Renya brought her that day, because she was wearing an emerald blue shirt, her mother casually named her Xiaocui. She doesn't have a surname, and the name on the wedding card is Jia Xiaocui, which is my family name.
After getting married, she and Zhang Hua lived in Qingxin Courtyard together, and now the people in the East Palace don't call her Xiaocui anymore, they call her Jia Shanggong. After serving me for almost a decade, I finally gave her a little benefit.
Unexpectedly, Qingxinyuan soon lived in another family, which was Ji Shao and Shanwan.
After Ji Shao's wedding leave was completed, on the first day of reporting to the East Palace, he brought his new wife Shan Wan and asked to see me outside the East Palace.
I asked Shanwan to be invited into the Mingxia Palace, and after thanking me, she made a request and said, "Your Highness the Princess, can I also come in and serve you?" ”
I said, "You are the daughter of the official family, the pearl of your parents, how could they let you enter the palace?" ”
She said, "I have a lot of children, I have five brothers, five sisters-in-law, more than a dozen nephews and nieces, and the family is a mess every day. ”
Although this is a joke, since there are many people in Shantao's family, it doesn't matter if Shanwan comes out.
I've been getting tired lately, and I really need a competent helper. Shan Wan was born in a famous family, and she was knowledgeable, and she could help me manage the East Palace better than Xiao Cui. Of course, the most important thing is that she is a person with a husband, and she will not cultivate power in the East Palace just because she is entrusted by me to use it, let alone compete with me.
In this way, another Shanshang Palace appeared in the East Palace.
