Chapter 298: Die Together
Concubine Hui had never felt that life was so difficult, even when Cining Palace was prosperous, the Jiang family was not forced to this point.
"Didn't they keep an eye on Li Yue?" Concubine Hui's face was pale, this must be Li Yue's hand.
"We haven't dared to slack off, it's the Ji clan who quietly moved." Mrs. Jiang clenched her handkerchief and forced her composure, after the accident in Dingzhou, she asked to enter the palace several times, and today finally let her see Concubine Hui, the moment she saw Niangniang, her heart was cold, Niangniang's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked very embarrassed.
Concubine Hui is like this, which proves the emperor's attitude towards this matter.
Concubine Hui slapped her palm on the table: "When Ji Chengen was exiled, I told you that you must deal with it, but you want to put a long line to catch big fish, hoping to use it to involve the Lin family and the Li family, it is like moving a stone to your own feet." “
Mrs. Jiang lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, although the Jiang family has been beautiful these years, there are many people who have opposed the Jiang family, if they are all killed, the Jiang family will also attract the imperial history to impeach constantly. The Lin family wanted to protect Ji Chengen's life, and the lord exchanged several official positions in Lingnan, which was regarded as installing his own manpower in the Lin family, which seemed to be a good deal at that time.
And Ji Yanran went to beg King Jin to marry the Li family, the Li family in Taiyuan was already under their control, what was wrong with her throwing herself into the net, the Li family in Taiyuan at that time had declined, and the only one who was still fighting was Li Yong, which ruined Li Yong's reputation, and let the Ji family make a lot of jokes, letting people know that the Li family in Taiyuan was in decline, and Li Yong's career would be blocked everywhere.
She didn't think anything was wrong.
What's more, they also calculated that Li Yue and Ji died together in the Li family in Taiyuan, if it wasn't for Ji's death and resurrection, either Li Yong would die in prison, or Li Yue would be forced to take action.
"Mother, what are you going to do now? The old man has been taken away by Dali Temple. “
Concubine Hui sneered: "What else can I do, I have already gone to ask the saint, if the evidence is conclusive, the emperor will not let the Jiang family go." You don't know what the emperor dislikes the most, whoever has anything to do with the word rebellion will not end well, you go back and prepare well! “
Mrs. Jiang's sweat dripped down her forehead, could everything in the Jiang family really be ruined today.
Mrs. Jiang retreated, and Concubine Hui got up from her seat for a while.
"Mother, is there really no room for turning around this time?"
Concubine Hui shook her head: "What's going on in Cining Palace?" “
The female official said: "I heard that the Queen Mother was reading the scriptures in the nunnery, but she never came out. “
Concubine Hui walked out of the main hall and glanced at the sun above her head with difficulty: "Ten years ago, Cining Palace was in chaos, and I was also in the nunnery, and I said to the outside world to pray for Princess Changning, but in fact, I was asking for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, so that Changning would die, and the Lin family would be in a state of collapse from then on."
How could I have imagined that ten years later it would all come back to me. “
It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at her coldly, watching how she died. Concubine Hui held her handkerchief tightly, she couldn't die like this, she wanted to save her life.
……
The crown prince also hoped that everything would disappear, but his hope did not come true, because the emperor's cold gaze fell on his face, and the anger seemed to burn him to ashes.
The prefect of Dingzhou is a soft bone, and before waiting for the officials of Dali Temple to interrogate, he asked for pen, ink, paper, inkstone and sprinkled to write a confession, how much ink has been greedy over the years, and who instructed him, where did all this money go, even if it was to report to Beijing.
He risked his life to see the prefect of Dingzhou last night, but he didn't expect the fool to tell him: "Prince, I can't do it, I don't say that Ji Yuanzheng will also confess, that kid has been scared, and he can't stop talking along the way, even if you let him deal with Ji's family, it is clear that you let him deal with Ji." Persuade the prince to admit it, otherwise the charge of rebellion will fall on you. “
The general trend has gone, it is impossible for him to push all the blame clean, he now regrets being involved with the Jiang family, that Jiang Jinyu is really a dead star, and he has brought disaster to him before he enters his door.
When the prince thought of this, he turned his head to look at King Jin, and he couldn't wait to crush his teeth, King Jin must have known today's result a long time ago, so he was in a hurry to throw the Jiang family away.
"Father," the prince knelt down, "the retainers are also obsessed with the filial piety of the Dingzhou prefect, but the retainers don't know where those rebels came from. “
"Oh," the emperor said, "that was arranged by the Jiang family, don't you know?" King Jin and the Jiang family divorced, you were still indignant, and finally asked the Jiang family to be the side concubine, it just so happened that you were eating empty in Dingzhou, and the Jiang family had to make up for this gap for you every year, do you know how much silver the Jiang family spends a year? They just gave it to you for nothing? “
"Erchen really doesn't know that the Jiang family raises soldiers, let alone them...... was so bold that he started with his father's twelve guards. “
The prince's argument was feeble, and the emperor kept turning the delicate little crossbow in his hand, which was found from the rebels.
"Father......" The prince still wanted to defend himself, but before he finished speaking, he saw an arrow coming straight towards him, and he was so frightened that he didn't have time to dodge, so he could only watch the arrow pass by his face.
The sharp pain caused him to reach out and cover his face, and the warm liquid immediately trickled into his palm.
The prince's eyes widened, he was bleeding, his father hurt his face, how could a hideous person be the prince, his father was determined to abolish him.
"Father, son...... Is it wronged...... In vain, that's the ...... Ji and ...... Lin family...... Joining forces ...... Harm the son...... They are to avenge Ji Chengen, and the emperor ...... This thing...... Must have something to do with Lee...... You trust me...... You can ask Lord Xie, and you can always believe that Li Yue may be ......"
Xie Ji in the small yellow door next to him frowned slightly, sure enough, it is not a good thing to be climbed by an idiot, this is Li Yue's calculation, when the prince said this, the emperor may not believe his words.
The Jiang family and he are both trusted by the emperor, but now they have joined forces to deceive the emperor, which is the most terrible betrayal.
"What could it be?" The emperor looked at the crown prince with fierce eyes.
The prince's lips trembled, and no one dared to mention that matter easily, because each time it would bring many killings. And someone has always guessed the beginning, no one can foresee the end, maybe the informant will also be involved in it and be killed as a fellow party, the prince clenched his hands, and finally made up his mind: "It's that person's blood...... He dealt with ...... Erchen ...... Just to make ...... If our father and son are at odds, he will be able to steal the throne in the future. “
"So, just in case, I should have killed him?"
The prince nodded.
The emperor's eyes became very gloomy: "That's right, for the sake of the country, there is always some sacrifice," After speaking, the emperor looked at the prince, "It's better to let you do this thing, you kill him, and I will abolish your position in the East Palace, so that I can sit back and relax." “
"No...... No...... Don't ......," the prince kept saying, "Father...... I...... I ......"
"Reluctant?" The emperor said, "Because you still want to sit here one day, and you are the one who wants the throne." “
"Pull the crown prince down, and the East Palace will no longer deal with government affairs from now on.
Take his waist card, and he will not be allowed to enter the palace unless he is summoned. “
The crown prince was dragged down, and the emperor looked at King Jin: "Go and check, don't let me down." “
King Xie En of Jin retreated, there was no one in the main hall, the emperor glanced at the small yellow door, and Xie Ji walked out of it.
The emperor lowered his eyes: "Do you also want to tell me that the crown prince was framed by Li Yue." “
Xie Ji looked very calm, no different from usual: "Weichen doesn't know, if the emperor orders Weichen to investigate, Weichen will definitely do his best." It's just that what Weichen saw in Dingzhou is that those soldiers and horses are related to the Jiang family.
It is not the duty of a courtier to be strong and strong, and the Jiang family has made a big mistake no matter what. “
The emperor didn't show an appreciative look to Xie Ji like every time, and there was a bit of gloomy light in his eyes: "Why did your dead soldiers appear in Dingzhou Mansion." “
Xie Ji hesitated a little, and after a while, he raised his head: "This matter is a long story, Rong Chen is careful." Weichen had already noticed the Ji family when he was in Taiyuan, because the Ji family was restless, not only wanted to avenge Ji Chengen, but also deliberately approached the King of Jin and wanted to investigate the case of Princess Changning back then. As soon as the people sent out by Weichen arrived at Li's house, they found something......"
Xie Ji paused when he said this: "Someone bought the murderer to kill the Ji family, strangled the Ji family to death in the inner room and blamed Li Yong." “
The emperor knew that Ji's resurrection from the dead proved Li Yong's innocence, and it was obvious that Xie Ji was not what he wanted to say.
Xie Ji continued: "Wechen's people confirmed that the Ji family was indeed dead, without a pulse and heartbeat, but when the Li family was funeral for her, she came back to life, and what she did next was like a different person, not only to solve the chess game of Princess Changning, but also to be favored by Master Shikong to accept him as an apprentice, which made Weichen feel more and more strange, Weichen's people should not be able to tell whether a person is dead or fainting, it is Wechen's duty to check such a vision, and Wechen took people to Dingzhou. “
The emperor still had a hesitant look on his face, but his previous anger had been alleviated a lot: "I will let people check, I hope you don't let me down." “
As Xie Ji left, the entire hall became empty, and the emperor picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it on the ground: "It's not a good thing." “
"Your Majesty, there is news from outside that Miss Jiang went to the Prince's Mansion in disguise."
"What a pair of bitter mandarin ducks," the emperor looked at the chamberlain, "you pass on my words to the crown prince, and let him carry the Jiang family into the door tomorrow, and I will fulfill them." “
……
The prince looked at Jiang Jinyu and couldn't believe that she had come to the East Palace at such a time, and she was still looking at him with tears in her eyes.
If he used to think that she had a bit of a look, now he only has disgust that he can't avoid.
"The Prince." Jiang Jinyu stepped forward with a 'swoop', but the prince who was already in front of her disappeared all of a sudden, and she stumbled and almost fell there.
Jiang Jinyu looked surprised: "Prince, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it uncomfortable. “
The prince's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Jiang Jinyu's eyes turned red: "Is it the emperor who has punished you, how can this be good." “
The prince almost gritted his teeth and said: "Leave the prince's mansion and don't come back in the future." “
Jiang Jinyu's heart was sour, the tenderness and sweetness of the past were vivid, and she almost subconsciously blurted out: "Are you afraid of affecting the concubine?" “
He even thought that Jiang Jinyu was smart and clever before, didn't she read the fourth female book since she was a child? It can even be compared to Chang Ning, many of the Jiang family's industries are taken care of by her, and he has already said it very directly, why hasn't she understood yet.
The prince felt disgusted, like eating a bag of beautiful dumplings, but there was a stinky meat filling inside: "It is because of you that the East Palace will be implicated, if you have the slightest thought, you will not come to the prince's mansion at this time."
What a bad luck! I should have known that I shouldn't have picked up the broken shoes that were thrown by King Jin.
You are also powerful, you just came to me when you learned that King Jin had withdrawn from marriage...... It seems that how familiar I am with you, not inferior to those kiln sisters, if it weren't for the Jiang family, how could I want you to be such a good person, but you are from a famous family but you are so shameless, and you are willing to commit yourself to being a concubine, I should have understood that the daughter of the Jiang family is nothing more than that,"
The blood on Jiang Jinyu's face disappeared little by little, and she looked at the prince in disbelief, there was no tenderness and sweetness in her eyes, and she opened her mouth for a while and said sharply: "I fought with you." As he spoke, the prince rushed over, but before he reached the prince's side, he was pulled by two mothers-in-law.
"Don't be embarrassed," the prince sneered, "You disguised yourself as a subordinate and came to the prince's mansion to let people know what would happen?" Even death won't save your reputation, so leave here immediately while I give you some face. “
Jiang Jinyu's heart was cold, what her aunt said came true, she was really nothing in the eyes of the prince. Her arm hurt as if it was broken, her whole body was pressed hard, she looked at her mother-in-law pleadingly, but they didn't move much, Jiang Jinyu finally couldn't stand it, the whole person knelt on the ground, she raised her head just in time to see the housekeeper mother who came to Jiang's house to bring her snacks that day.
The mother had a smile on her face.
This is clearly revenge on her. The Jiang family is about to decline, and without the support of her mother's family, she is not as good as a subordinate.
Jiang Jinyu's tears fell, and she suddenly remembered the scene where she punished her subordinates, would they all come to her for revenge......
The steward of the Prince's Mansion stepped forward: "Miss Jiang, the slave advises you, let's go...... Let's act as if nothing happened. “
Impossible, soon everyone will know that she was expelled from the palace by the prince, and the prince will use this matter to make a stand, and then she will be better off dead than alive. She only hated that she hadn't found the prince's handle, so there was no room to fight back.
"Prince, someone has come to the palace."
A subordinate hurriedly stepped forward to pray.
The prince's face changed slightly: "Hurry up...... Stop the people first...... I'm ......."
"Our family will pass a word to the crown prince, and we will go back to the emperor to return to the emperor." The palace attendant had already come over with a smile.
Passing on the emperor's command, no one can stop him, so he let him go all the way here.
The prince knelt on the ground in panic, and the mother-in-law who was holding Jiang Jinyu also let go of her hand.
The chamberlain cleared his throat and learned the emperor's tone: "You pass on my words to the crown prince, and let him carry the Jiang family into the door tomorrow, and I will fulfill them." “
The prince couldn't help but tremble, and his face was indescribably ugly.
Jiang Jinyu, who was beside him, suddenly laughed when he heard this, and the irrepressible sharp laughter resounded throughout the Prince's Mansion.
"You're going to carry me in the door, hahahaha, it's really retribution, okay...... That's it, if you want to die, you will die in one place...... The courtiers thank the lord Longen. The prince is still stunned what to do, thank you quickly. “
