Chapter 6 Demagoguery Raiding the Mansion
The carrier pigeon flew into the hands of Chang Mama, Chang Mama rolled up the note, and Lin Ruge only wrote: "Xu Jingzong has not been able to guess the empress's mind recently, and he is full of doubts in his heart, and the opportunity to do it has come."
Mama Chang quietly came out of the housekeeper's house, and the sound of five marbles of different strength hitting the ground, Su Duyin heard the movement, and quietly went out.
Mama Chang spread out the note and handed it to Su Duyin's hand: "Young Pavilion Master, I'm afraid our time is coming."
Su Duyin sneered: "Ruge has done a good job, but Xu Jingzong treats her very well, for the sake of all measures, it is difficult to guarantee that women will not be tempted, you still sent a letter out, let a few more people in the pavilion keep an eye on it, so as not to make a mistake."
Mama Chang stepped back. Su Duyin rubbed her waist, she had lived in the court for many years, and the cold in her body had penetrated into her bones, and she knew that her time was running out, and she had to explain what was going on after her death recently.
Back in the room, Wan'er next to her slept soundly, obviously she was still a child, she was instilled with the glory lintel of the Shangguan family since she was a child, if Shangguan could be spared, she would be Miss Jiao in the boudoir, why bother to carry such a burden on her shoulders.
Recently, Shen Changchun has heard some rumors in the palace, most of which are strange secrets on the night of the first emperor's death. Caught a palace maid and interrogated carefully. The palace maid only said that the rumor was said to be that Xu Jingzong's subordinates were drunk and drunk, and the drunken nonsense was heard by many eunuchs in the forbidden army's residence, and this came out.
Shen Changchun rushed towards Weiyang Palace in an emergency.
The empress was grooming, Shen Changchun retreated from everyone, and then knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has something important to tell you, and I hope Your Majesty will not hurt her body in anger." ”
The empress picked up a golden phoenix hairpin and gently flicked the glass beads below before she spoke: "Is there anything that can make me angry and hurt my body, you can tell me."
Shen Changchun said: "In the past few days, the demonic rumors in the imperial city have confused the public, and the slaves and maids have caught the palace maid and interrogated them carefully, only to know that it is Xu Jingzong's subordinates, who are drunk and talking nonsense, and actually said that on the day of the death of the first emperor, the edict you held was fake, and there may be something strange about your accession to the throne." ”
The empress just glanced down at Shen Changchun, threw the hairpin in her hand to the ground, the glass beads were broken, and the empress stood up: "Xu Jingzong, a dog minion, dares to condone his subordinates to talk nonsense, I originally wanted to catch him for a little mistake and punish him again." It seems that his life is going to be destroyed by himself first."
Shen Changchun kowtowed and said again: "Your Majesty is careful of hurting your body, the slave knows that Xu Jingzong found a confidant in the Goolan tile house a few years ago, and accepted him as a concubine, that Xu Jingzong's concubine is also a person with a delicate heart, and even obeys Xu Jingzong's rule, if it is from this Lin Ruge's mouth, and then something comes out, we can be regarded as having a legitimate reason to move Xu Jingzong." If you do it because of this secret, wouldn't you be unreasonable? ”
The empress then sat down and rubbed her brows before saying, "There is no need to spend so much time, since he connived at the nonsense of his subordinates, he will be punished for a crime of disrespect and disrespect, and he will be imprisoned, and he will be locked up for poisoning and dumbness, and as for his family members, it is better to be executed or sent to be an official prostitute." If you let Wu Xuan lead people to surround the Xu Mansion, you can do what you want, and I will send Cao Huanzhi to announce the decree. ”
After Shen Changchun retreated, he took the will to find Wu Xuan. Wu Hang has been under Xu Jingzong in the past few years, and he has complained a lot, and he has received this errand, but he is also angry.
This Cao Huanzhi entered the Xu Mansion with the holy decree.
Xu Jingzong didn't know what was going on, so he only asked: "Gonggong Cao, is there any will of His Majesty?"
Cao Huanzhi glanced at him, and replied in a sharp voice: "Ouch, Lord Xu, you don't know yet, your subordinates, drunk and drunk, talking nonsense in the forbidden army, were heard by many eunuch palace daughters, and Your Majesty was angry."
Xu Jingzong: "Then I will enter the palace in the future and pay compensation to Your Majesty, I must restrain my subordinates"
Cao Huanzhi's eyes turned before he said: "I won't sell you Guan Zi anymore, your subordinates bewitched the public, saying that on the night of the first emperor's death, His Majesty held the edict was fake, and said that His Majesty's accession to the throne was strange, and you didn't have much chance to meet Your Majesty in person, and this holy decree was the last holy decree that your Lord Xu received." ”
Xu Jingzong knelt down in a panic, and stammered a little: "This, this, how is this possible, I have already cleared those subordinates back then"
Cao Huanzhi glanced at him: "What you just said, if you let someone with a heart hear it and spread it out, you really think that those things that bewitch the public are true." You listen to the decree, Your Majesty's will, Xu Jingzong connived at his subordinates to bewitch the public, disrespectful, and sent to prison, waiting for the fate, the male dependents in the family were executed, and the female dependents were sent to official prostitutes. ”
Xu Jingzong knelt down and was speechless for a long time.
Cao Huanzhi: "Master Wu, it's time for you to appear, I have to go back to the palace to report to Your Majesty"
Wu Hang Rang walked in and ordered his men to escort him. "Lord Xu, you have been on the rise in the past few years, why did you forget to restrain your subordinates, your subordinates have the same problem of showing off their power as you, but it hurts you"
Xu Jingzong looked at Wu Xuanrang, and his mind was full of Shangguanyi's words a few years ago. And it came true.
And there was no trace of Lin Ruge among these female dependents, and Wu Hangrang was in a hurry to recover his life, and he was not checking properly.
At this time, Lin Ruge and several men dressed in black were on the outskirts of the city.
Lin Ruge said to these people: "A few days ago, your errand was done well, you changed into Xu Jingzong's clothes and went to the forbidden army, and in front of the eunuchs and palace maids, you played out what I gave you, which is very good." It's just that we can't stay in Chang'an for a long time, so as not to check carefully, I'm afraid that we will be found on us, so we will go back to Yangzhou first and give the old pavilion master a life. I will plan for the future. ”
Several men in black agreed: "Yes, Hall Master Lin"
So he quickly disappeared into the night.
At this time, Mama Chang received the news from the eyeliner that Xu Jingzong had been arrested.
Su Duyin sneered: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty is worried that there is no wrong handle to cure Xu Jingzong's crime, and we can be regarded as helping her." As for Xu Jingzong, he forged the edict to help her force the palace, and she died innocently. As for Na Wu Xuanrang, he will let him go free for a few days, and he will definitely be sent to that prison in the future, and he will taste the bitterness. ”
Mama Chang: "Young Pavilion Master, if you have lived in the court for a long time, in fact, you can also find a seriously ill palace maid to do some tricks and change you out of the palace, so why bother staying in this court"
Su Duyin coughed twice: "If I leave, it will be difficult to come in again." What's more, since I gave birth to Wan'er, I have fallen into the cold, and I have been put into the court before the confinement is out, and the cold on my body has long been in my bones, and I know that my body bones are getting worse now, and I don't know how many days remain. ”
Mama Chang's eyes were red: "The young pavilion master must not say nonsense, Ah Chang can send a message out and hand some medicinal materials in."
Su Duyin waved her hand: "When I was young, I also read medical books with my grandfather for a few days, how could I not know. I'm just playing chess for Wan'er's next days. If I die one day, Wan'er will be the new young pavilion master of this Lin Zhan Pavilion, and then she will rely on her hands to stir up the entire Chang'an. ”
Mama Chang replied: "The young pavilion master doesn't have to worry, the eyeliner that has been removed from the palace in the past few years, the old pavilion master has sent newcomers in, and I have basically figured it out." Don't worry, there will be no chess to play in the future. ”
