Chapter 118: Pondering the Jade Artifact

At the beginning of the eleventh year of Yongle, the Tianshou Mountain Mausoleum was built, renamed Changling, Sun Qingyang's father was promoted to the prelude class of Honglu Temple because he led the migrant workers to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and the family came to Beijing.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, escorted Empress Renxiao's Zigong from Beijing to Changling, and Emperor Yongle also toured north again, accompanied by the emperor's grandson, and when he arrived in Kyoto in February, he buried Empress Renxiao in Changling.

In April, when the spring breeze was warm, Emperor Yongle marched north again, and Zhu Zhanji accompanied him to Lincheng, Shandong, where Concubine Quan Xian was buried at that time, a major event occurred.

Soon, the matter was reported back to Jingshi.

"Miss, miss."

Sun Qingyang was looking at the newly haired begonia flowers with Xuanji and Du Ruo in the courtyard, and when he raised his eyes and saw the sad and joyful expression on the face of Aunt Yuning, who had always been calm and calm, he was stunned for a moment, "Aunt Yuning, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yu Ning restrained her expression at this time, walked up to them dignifiedly, lowered her voice and said: "There is news from the Lincheng side that the murderer who poisoned Concubine Xian Niangniang has been found. ”

When Xuanji and Du Ruo heard this, they glanced at each other with a tacit understanding, and stood to the side, which left space for Sun Qingyang and Yu Ning to talk, and prevented someone from overhearing when they approached.

Sun Qingyang opened his mouth wide and asked in astonishment, "Murderer? Are you saying that Concubine Xian didn't die of illness back then? ”

Yu Ning said hatefully: "It's not a disease at all, it's someone who took advantage of Niangniang's illness to put a small amount of arsenic in the walnut tea she often drinks, which accumulated over time and cost her life in vain." When my mother coughed up blood that day, I felt that it was wrong, how could the wind and cold cause people to have abdominal pain, diarrhea and hair loss? The doctors all said that it was a cold and hurt the lungs, and the mother's body was too weak, so it would not be cured for a long time. ”

"Who is the murderer, why didn't the imperial doctors who accompanied the army at that time diagnose that he was poisoned?"

"It's Lu Jieyu who came to the palace from North Korea with Niangniang. In vain, Lu Jieyu and Niangniang have a long sister and a short sister on weekdays, and they didn't expect to have such a vicious heart. The doctors didn't find out, probably because the amount of arsenic they took each time was very small, so they didn't diagnose it. Yu Ning clasped her hands together and made a high incense shape, "Finally, the sky is pitiful, so that the vicious woman did not escape, and she was still arrested after three years." ”

Sun Qingyang asked carefully again, and only then did he know the beginning and the end.

It turned out that among the palace people who accompanied Emperor Yongle on his northern expedition this time, there was a Lu Meiren, who had heard the palace maid who was on an errand in the palace of Concubine Quanxian and the palace people around Lu Jieyu arguing, saying that Lu Jieyu had poisoned her mother, so she secretly had a heart.

This time, Lu Meiren went to Lincheng with Emperor Yongle on the northern expedition, and worshiped Concubine Quan Xian, she asked the palace people who guarded the mausoleum, and found out that Lu Jieyu had been dissatisfied with Concubine Quan Xian being more favored than her, and was in charge of the six palaces, and when she accompanied Concubine Quan Xian in the eighth year of Yongle, she was scolded by Concubine Xian because she did not waste clean water at will during the march, "The queen who has children and grandchildren is also dead, you can manage it for a few months, so rude!" ”。

Yaoguang and Jin Bo, who guarded the tomb, also told Lu Meiren that after being punished by Concubine Quan, Lu Jieyu held a grudge and colluded with the eunuchs Jin De and Jin Liang to borrow arsenic from a local silversmith's house, grind it into powder, and put it into walnut tea every day to give to Concubine Xian to eat, so that she coughed up blood and died without a spirit in the medicine.

Yaoguang and Jin Bo also found some clues at that time, and they have been secretly investigating since then, and only then did they follow the vine and coax the silversmith to tell the truth.

It's a pity that they are soft-spoken, and they have not been able to report this matter to the emperor.

Lu Meiren reported this to Emperor Yongle, and the emperor was furious, and ordered Dali Temple to investigate, and after finding out the truth, he not only killed the eunuchs Jin De and Jin Liang, as well as the two chamberlains who were connected with them, but also the silversmith and the palace people of the two palaces of Lu, all of whom were executed. Lu Jieyu was even burned by branding for a month before she was unrecognizable and tortured to death.

Only Yaoguang and Jin Bo, who volunteered to stay and avenge the Lord, received a generous reward, and still stayed in the cemetery to guard the tomb and discipline the newly matched people who guarded the tomb.

Such cruel torture shows how much Emperor Yongle hates Lu Jieyu because of the death of Concubine Quan Xian!

After listening, for a long time, he forcibly endured the discomfort churning in his stomach, and looked at Aunt Yuning, who was still sad, Sun Qingyang asked cautiously, "Except for the two of them, the palace people before the death of Concubine Xian Niangniang, only my aunt is left?" ”

Yu Ning's expression was gloomy, "Biguang and Qiongbo, a few of them, that day Niangniang begged the emperor to treat him kindly, because he was about the same age, he had been out of the palace to marry in the past two years, and those who stayed in the cemetery and the palace, except for Yaoguang and Jin Bo, all of them were killed, plus in Lu Jieyu's palace, hundreds of people died because of this incident." ”

"Spit" hatefully, "It's all to blame for the Lu family, she did evil alone, not to mention my mother, but also killed so many people, she deserved to be burned and burned, even if she died like that, she couldn't relieve the hatred in my heart." ”

Not only Aunt Yuning, but also Emperor Yongle, I'm afraid I can't solve my hatred!

"The Son of Heaven is angry, the blood flows into the moat, and the lives of hundreds of people are ...... like this" Sun Qingyang muttered to himself, and after a moment, he suddenly fell backwards and fainted to the ground.

In the haze, she heard Du Ruo's voices, saw them running towards her, and Aunt Yuning's frightened expression.

Sun Qingyang closed his eyes.

When she woke up, it was already evening, the palace lights outside the window were bright, and a figure in a red dress was sitting next to her bed. ”

Although Sun Qingyang was weak, he tried his best to smile, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”

This is the first time that the crown princess has come to Biyun Pavilion, and with her status, this is naturally a condescending honor.

No wonder Sun Qingyang was so panicked.

The crown princess obviously understood this, so she said more and more gently: "You are sick, don't talk about these etiquette, it is only right to take care of your body quickly." I have already asked the imperial doctor to come and see it, saying that he was in a hurry, and he didn't get angry for a while, which caused him to faint, and he would be fine if he took two medicines and raised them. You are still a child in the end, how can you listen to those things, it is all people who break their mouths, and you have this disease in vain. ”

Apparently, the crown princess already knows the whole thing.

"Auntie, it's not about Aunt Yuning, it's because I'm too timid."

"What's her business." The crown princess said coldly: "Can you talk to you about such a thing?" She thought that as far as she knew, if she could say something, I would have told you it earlier, and used her as an ear to report God? On weekdays, she is also calm, but she actually poked out such a big basket, and you are too good at talking on weekdays, so that these minions are not up or down, and they lose the rules. ”

Hearing that the crown princess was angry, Sun Qingyang was afraid that she would blame Yu Ning, so he hurriedly pleaded, "Auntie, Aunt Yun Ning is also kind, she knows that I have always been haunted by the death of Concubine Xian's illness, and Niangniang took a lot of care of me in the old days, and ignored me at all, isn't it very unsympathetic?" It's really Qingyang who had a wind illness a few days ago, and he didn't get better, so he fainted, don't blame Aunt Yuning. ”

Hearing Sun Qingyang say this, and seeing her looking at herself with big eyes, full of earnestness, the crown princess sighed, "You, you are too soft-hearted, if you continue like this, there will be a time to suffer in the future." Okay, Ruixiang, you go and tell Yu Ning to get up, let Xuanji rub the medicinal wine for her, and tell her that if it wasn't for her master's intercession, she would never be spared this time. ”

Ruixiang answered, and went outside to ask Yu Ning, who had been kneeling, to get up, because after kneeling for more than half a day, Yu Ning could barely stand, and was half hugged by Xuanji before getting up, and hearing that it was Sun Qingyang who pleaded with the princess to spare herself, Yun Ning was ashamed and ashamed, and kowtowed to the princess and Sun Qingyang three times.

Hearing Ruixiang come in and reply, the crown princess nodded, "Finally, she still knows that she is wrong, and she understands the rules, and she is also dedicated to serving you on weekdays, even if she is okay this time, she still asks her to stay by your side on an errand." Next time, no matter who it is, if there is such a thing of chewing the root of the tongue like this, you don't have to intercede with me again, and I won't listen, just sell it, so as not to teach you badly. ”

Sun Qingyang responded cowardly, and said with a smile: "Qingyang knows that my aunt loves me the most, and I won't dare to do it in the future." ”

Seeing her dressed in a moon-white dress, with green silk spread on the pillow like ink, her little face became more and more pale as paper, and she smiled and apologized to herself, the princess softened, "Knowing that I love you, give me a good one, peace and security is serious." I'm still waiting for you to recover, so I can play with your sister, you didn't go today, she almost entangled me to death, and I cried at noon before falling asleep. ”

The big county lord is more than four years old, and on weekdays, Sun Qingyang has to go to Zhaoyang Hall every day to play with her.

Speaking of this county lord who was more than seven years younger than himself, Sun Qingyang smiled, "You just tell her, when she memorizes the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" taught by the previous one, I will get better and be able to play with her." ”

"It's no wonder, when you taught her this long poem, I also said that how could such a young child memorize such a poem, her brothers' enlightenment is a three-character classic, and the poem is a five-character quatrain. Such a long back will definitely not be, who would have thought that in the past two days, it would be able to stumble and carry it down! The method you said really worked. ”

"It must have worked, that's what my mother taught me when I was a child. She said that for children, there is no difficulty and difficulty, first difficult and then easy, difficult and easy combination, children will not feel hard, anyway, at that time in the seven days stipulated by my mother, I memorized this long poem, after that, five words, seven words quatrain to learn, it is as easy as playing. Mother said that you can't improve just by doing things that you can do with your hands. ”

Looking at Sun Qingyang's proud little appearance, the crown princess thought thoughtfully, "Your mother has a lot of experience in teaching children." ”

Sun Qingyang pursed her lips, "Not only does she have experience, but she is also very ruthless." I heard from my nursing mother, Mama Du, that after seven or eight months, if I want to breastfeed, I have to do my homework first, and if I can't finish my homework, I can't breastfeed. ”

"Huh? Seven or eight months old, what can I do? ”
