Chapter 467: The death of Princess Shao, the discussion between mother and son in the past
But Gu Shao's answer was even more outrageous than Emperor Duanhua imagined: "Jian Lezhi's people told His Royal Highness King Liang that when His Majesty sent His Royal Highness King Liang to persuade Prince Yijing, he actually planned to send someone to secretly follow him to King Yi's mansion, and assassinate His Royal Highness King Liang and Prince Yijing at the same time - and then slandered the two kings of Suxiang as the mastermind of the assassination!" ”
"After all, His Royal Highness King Liang is the son of the first emperor, and the first emperor loves blood and bones, and the two kings of Suxiang openly seized the prince back then. What's more, although His Royal Highness King Liang has no merit for Sheji, when the first emperor was there, he never revealed any selfishness? ”
Death of a King Yijing, although Emperor Xianjia will be angry, but he is only angry - he can't do anything to his own son in order to give King Yijing justice.
But if King Liang is also dead, even if it will show that Emperor Jia's health is not very good, how can he give up?!
If the two kings of Suxiang were considered to have murdered their own brothers, even if Emperor Xianjia would not kill them, they would definitely have nothing to do with the throne.
Even the opportunity to sharpen the Duanhua Emperor may not be available.
Emperor Duanhua naturally understood this truth, but he was dumbfounded: "King Liang, he ...... Believe such nonsense?! ”
Not to mention whether Emperor Duanhua is the kind of person who paves the way for himself with the lives of his brothers, and not to say where Emperor Duanhua got the confidence to hide from the world in front of Emperor Xianjia and the government and the opposition, this statement itself is very problematic: the people of the two kings of Suxiang assassinated King Yijing, and they can barely explain that King Yijing chose Emperor Duanhua and annoyed those two sides.
But why did they kill King Liang?!
Isn't it self-cutting off the future!?
After all, although King Liang is the younger brother of Emperor Duanhua, he has never shown any talent.
Killing him won't weaken Emperor Duanhua, but will completely anger Emperor Xianjia, how stupid would he be to do such a thing?
"At that time, the two kings of Suxiang intended to seize the prince, and His Royal Highness King Su had the support of the Empress Dowager Su, the Duke of Ji, Qiu Shuxia and others; Behind His Royal Highness King Xiang is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Daiguo and the Ji family. However, Gu Shao said calmly, "Please think about it, if Your Majesty is really deposed as the prince, what will happen to these two kings?" ”
That, of course, is the breaking of the covenant, and they will fight to the death again!
Emperor Duanhua groaned, with a vague understanding in his heart, but it seemed to be through the mist, unable to fully perceive.
Gu Shao saw it in his eyes and sighed secretly: The qualifications of this emperor ...... It's really worrying!
He waited for a while, and saw that Emperor Duanhua hadn't understood yet, so he had to continue his words: "If it's just the two kings of Su Xiang competing for the crown prince, then under normal circumstances, King Xiang will definitely not be able to compete with King Su!" ”
Because King Su's qualifications are above all the brothers, and he is the concubine of the middle palace, his supporters are also stronger than the eldest princess and his wife - so if nothing else, King Xiang is definitely not King Su's opponent!
So the question is, anyone with a discerning eye can see this, how did the eldest princess and his wife not count it in their hearts?
"Please think about it again, Your Majesty: According to Jian Lezhi's words, His Royal Highness King Liang and Prince Yijing were assassinated in King Yi's Mansion at the same time, and it was found out afterwards that the mastermind was His Royal Highness King Su, what will be the result?"
Gu Shao was inspired by this, and Emperor Duanhua understood it: "King Su will definitely incur the wrath of his father!" Although his father will not kill him, he will also lose the opportunity to seize the throne! ”
The problem is that King Su, as a concubine, is still an excellent concubine, but he failed to become the East Palace, and his situation is already very embarrassing and dangerous.
The seizure of the prince was out of the game at the beginning - did he and his supporters go their separate ways and silently watch King Xiang challenge the position of the prince alone?!
This is of course impossible.
"In this case, King Su has two choices: one is to simply take refuge in me; One is to go all out to support King Xiang! ”
"Even if not everyone chooses King Xiang, no matter how many people choose this, it is an opportunity for King Xiang's faction to expand their power!"
"And when King Su is completely defeated, I will announce here that King Xiang is the real mastermind, and the fate of King Xiang can be imagined!"
"Even if this will clear the suspicion of King Su, but after such a toss, King Su and his faction have suffered a lot of vitality, and the threat to me has greatly decreased!"
Emperor Duanhua muttered to himself, and he really didn't know whether he was helpless or sighed speechlessly: In fact, although the statement made up by Jian Lezhi sounded like it was in line with the inference, in fact, there were many flaws.
The biggest flaw is Emperor Xianjia.
is good at speculating on the meaning of Jian Pingyu, good at governing the country such as Gu Shao, and in the entire Xianjia Dynasty, he is very well-behaved.
Even if Emperor Duanhua has many staff, why does he dare to play brotherly wall under the nose of Emperor Xianjia?
But King Liang is not Emperor Duanhua - as mentioned earlier, except for the posthumous son King Qing, he has the least contact with Emperor Xianjia among the princes.
The most unfamiliar to Emperor Xianjia.
Therefore, he can't trust Emperor Xianjia like Emperor Duanhua.
He couldn't even trust Emperor Duanhua, his sibling brother very much-after all, before Emperor Xianjia ordered the kings to enter the court together, one of the siblings was personally cultivated by Emperor Xianjia, and the other was taken by the Empress Dowager Cui, and there was not much contact.
Even after the kings entered the dynasty, King Liang began to help Emperor Duanhua, but because of his talent, he basically did errands and hands-on work, and he didn't have anything to do with serious things. And at that time, Emperor Duanhua's situation was not good, and he was often anxious, so where did he get the effort to cultivate a relationship with this younger brother?
Especially Emperor Duanhua never dreamed that King Liang would betray him.
To be honest, their brotherhood is more maintained by blood than by the accumulation of long-term relationship.
However, the royal family affection is the weakest in the world.
What's more, Gu Shao said one more thing: "Prince Yijing. A few months later, during the summer vacation, Yan Guogong and his wife took Jing Min and Jing Hui, the two county lords, to play in the lake at the foot of Cuihua Mountain, and accidentally bumped into the floating corpse of the Shu man Shao in the middle. ”
The concubine Shao is the daughter-in-law of King Yijing, and the later princess of Yi - after the Yiwang Mansion was abolished as a concubine due to smallpox, although the princess Shao was dead at the time, she was also implicated, and was cut off the status of the princess, and was demoted to the concubine with the living people of her husband's family.
"The Shuren Shao family said that he died in an accident to the outside world, but in fact, it was done by His Royal Highness King Liang!"
"The reason is that His Royal Highness King Liang wanted to confirm the truth after being confused by Jian Lezhi's words."
"But His Royal Highness King Liang didn't dare to inquire from the East Palace about Your Majesty's arrangements when you sent him to the Yi Wangfu, so you can only start from the Yi Wangfu."
At this time, he found that Princess Shao was secretly with her servants. Tong - Your Majesty Shengming, you must know that this is actually a series of schemes by Jian Lezhi in order to induce His Royal Highness King Liang to turn against His Majesty! However, His Royal Highness King Liang is young and the city is shallow, but he believes it! ”
And King Liang thought that he had taken the handle of the Shaw Brothers, and after finally having the opportunity to talk, he officially stepped into the trap of Jian Pingyu!
Because the Shaw Brothers had already been eaten to death by Jian Pingyu before they were coerced by King Liang!
So King Liang asked her about the death of King Yijing, and what she would hear can be imagined!
And after King Liang confirmed from here that his brother was uneasy and kind to him, he panicked and killed the Shao family.
Therefore, after the floating corpse of the Shaw Brothers was bumped into and picked up by Jian Xubai and his party, King Liang went to find Jian Xubai under the banner of sending something to Princess Liang. It is true that as Jian Xubai suspected at the time, he was afraid that his hands and feet were not clean enough, so he asked Jian Xubai's people to see any flaws when they scooped up the corpse and traced it to his head.
It's just that Song Yixiao was pregnant at that time, and the husband and wife were as happy as if they were something, and their energy was focused on the unborn child, and they were inevitably negligent in external affairs.
At that time, Princess Liang was also pregnant, and she was humble and self-conscious, but the clues revealed by King Liang were similar to herself, and they were out of the joy of being a father for the first time - I checked it casually, and if I didn't find any problems, forget it.
As for why the death of the Shaw Brothers ended up in the end, it was naturally Jian Pingyu who took action and secretly revealed the affair between the Shaw Brothers and his subordinates to the people of the Yi Wangfu.
For the sake of face, and because the Shao family is dead, it is natural to cover up the past.
And the Yi Wangfu has never been noticed, and they themselves announced that the matter had been investigated - the official position of the Shao family's mother's family was not high, and the husband's family was trembling, so naturally no one stood up and asked for a thorough investigation into the cause of her death.
This matter was just confused.
"After His Royal Highness King Liang killed the Shuren Shao Clan, although he was wary of His Majesty, he had not yet made up his mind at that time to plot against him." Gu Shao continued, "But just when His Royal Highness King Liang hesitated, Jian Lezhi made a bet with him on one thing! ”
Speaking of this, Gu Shao pondered for a while before continuing, "This matter ...... Before the minister said it, he asked His Majesty for forgiveness! ”
He knelt down as he spoke, "Because this matter involves Cui Niangniang's reputation!" ”
"......" Emperor Duanhua was surprised at first, then thought about it, and his face changed suddenly!
After a long while, the emperor resisted the urge to vomit blood, and said weakly: "Gu Xiang is the legacy of the first emperor, it is my humerus, and he has a hard time for me, what can't I say?" It's okay to speak up! ”
Sure enough, after Gu Shao got up, he thanked him, and then said: "A year before the death of the first emperor, during the summer vacation of Cuihua Mountain, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the acting country once 'accidentally bumped' to expose the eyeliner that the Empress Dowager Cui had placed beside her because of the matter of Mrs. Bolinghou, which caused the Empress Dowager to be angry, and even the first emperor was very dissatisfied!" ”
"At that time, in order to reverse the situation, Cui Niangniang wanted to use the power of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom."
"But Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, has never asked about the government."
"So Cui Niangniang thought of Princess Su, who was still Yunying unmarried!"
"Cui Niangniang once discussed with His Majesty to assassinate and kill the misbehaving Princess Liang, and then remarry the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom for King Liang's favorite 'righteous daughter'......"
When Gu Shao said this, he saw that Emperor Duanhua's face was already pale, and he stopped talking in a witty manner, and didn't say any more.
“……!!!” Emperor Duanhua held the case, his expression changed for a long time, and then he asked, "How did you know about this matter?!" ”
It's no wonder that the emperor has heard so many shocking inside information, but he is still discolored at this moment - after all, what Gu Shao said before was that others were playing conspiracies and using all kinds of vicious methods, but now that he is talking about this, Emperor Duanhua also has a share!
- The mention was proposed by the Empress Dowager Cui, however, he also acquiesced at that time!
Taking the life of his brother and daughter-in-law to pave the way for himself, or his younger brother and daughter-in-law who are pregnant, even if this kind of thing is only two monarchs and ministers at the moment, Gu Shao is a credible old minister, when he brings it up frankly, how can Emperor Duanhua treat it normally?
