Chapter 524: The Assassination and the Beginning of the Imperial Meeting

Zhu Chunyang is Zhu Qin's fellow villager, and he is even a brother of the same clan who came out of Wufu.

Due to the poverty of their families, they were both sold to Renyazi when they were young.

After a few changes of hands, he entered the palace.

The common experience and thin blood relationship make the two get along well as a matter of course.

At first, because they had no foundation, they lived a hard time in the palace.

Later, Emperor Xianjia chose a close attendant for the young Emperor Duanhua, and took a fancy to Zhu Qin - Zhu Qin ascended to the sky and became a celebrity in the East Palace.

While Zhu Qin was grateful to Emperor Xianjia's father and son, she did not forget Zhu Chunyang, and soon found an opportunity to promote him to his subordinates and vigorously cultivate.

Last night, before Zhu Qin decided to die for Emperor Duanhua, she also recommended Zhu Chunyang to Emperor Duanhua to take over her position - but later Emperor Duanhua confessed his blood to King Qing in public The result was too unexpected, and Emperor Duanhua was shocked and stayed awake all night, but where could he care about summoning this Zhu Chunyang?

Who knew that such an oversight was actually cheated again!

"The place where the prince was assassinated is not far from the residence of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and you can still see the gate of the second palace when you turn around, this place only died a group of assassins yesterday, why is there another today?" Although the low-hanging embroidered tent obscured everyone's eyes when they saw the scene on the couch, from the breath that seemed to be absent, it could also be known that Lu Hehao's situation was probably not very good at the moment.

Especially on the screen not far away, it seems that a bloodstained robe is set up at random, which hints at the tragedy and thrill of the assassination to the comer.

Lu Hehao's nursing mother, the Wang family, who still refused to leave when he was demoted to a commoner, covered her handkerchief, knelt on the ground and complained with sadness, "The guards who rushed over when they heard the movement, after holding down the assassin, took off their face towels and recognized it as Zhu Chunyang in front of His Majesty - Gongzi still refused to believe it, saying that although His Majesty was disrespectful to the first emperor, this matter was already known to everyone, so what was the use of assassinating Gongzi this time?" It's just a mistake on top of a mistake, making the court more and more disappointed in His Majesty! ”

"Later, several people said that it was Zhu Chunyang, and the son had to believe it!"

Now the place where they are now is Jiamu Palace.

This is the residence of the princes over the age of ten who were not married except for the crown prince, and is located between the former dynasty and the harem.

Lu Hehao has never been here since he became a family and opened the mansion.

Now there is only one king of Shu who lives here.

After the birthday banquet was dispersed last night, Empress Wei asked him if he had a suitable place to live outside the palace - the previous Liang Wang's Mansion had been taken back to the treasury when he lost his title, and the other courtyards and the like had also been confiscatedβ€”so she took him back to settle here, and lived still in the Zehui Hall where he used to live.

Empress Wei did this, of course, not because she was afraid that Lu Hehao would have no place to spend the night, but because she was worried that Lu Hehao would have three long and two short, and when the time came, the emperor would be suspected of killing people and venting her anger!

And let him live in the palace, so that he can watch it a little, so as not to let Lu Hehao have other actions.

It's just that early this morning, the Empress Dowager summoned Lu Hehao over - the queen had to persuade Emperor Duanhua herself, and secondly, there was no suitable reason to stop her grandmother from seeing her grandson, so she had to be approved.

I originally thought that a team of "assassins" had died outside the Mingren Palace yesterday, but it was only a day apart, and it was impossible to perform it again.

Who knew that Lu Hehao, or the person behind Lu Hehao, was even more shameless than Empress Wei thought!

Not only did he come again, but it was Zhu Chunyang in front of Emperor Duanhua who did it!

At this moment, the queen's face turned blue, and she laughed angrily: "Zhu Chunyang's status in Xuanming Palace is not low, even if he really wants to kill Lu Hehao, how many small chamberlains, palace maids, and even the guards can give orders, and they still need to go into battle in person?!" ”

Moreover, "Zhu Chunyang was born in a poor family, and after entering the palace, although because of Zhu Qin, he often served His Majesty, but in the end, the foundation is shallow, and he can't even have some superficial fists and feet, right?" No matter how angry Lu Hehao is, he is also raised by the royal family, and he can be regarded as capable of literature and martial arts - Zhu Chunyang will think that he is alone when he has a bad brain, and he can assassinate Lu Hehao with a dagger! The framing is so obvious, is this when the eyes of the whole world are blind?! ”

"Queen, you just came, and it's inevitable that you don't understand what happened." Compared with Empress Wei's excitement at the moment, Empress Dowager Su, who arrived first, was calm, she put down the tea bowl in her hand, beckoned, looked like an amiable elder, and said softly, "Xu is palace people spread falsehoods, so that you think that Zhu Chunyang is carrying a dagger on his body, and he wants to assassinate Lu Hehao!" ”

When Empress Wei heard this, she was not happy and shocked, and subconsciously clenched her fists, and then said, "What does the queen mother mean by this?" Didn't this Wang Fang also keep saying 'assassin'? ”

"It's an assassin." Empress Dowager Su said gently, "But it's not an assassin who went to assassinate Lu Hehao, but an ......."

The Queen Mother paused deliberately, and after seeing the queen's slightly stunned face with satisfaction, she said the result slowly, "I want to go to Mingren Palace and assassinate the Empress Dowager's assassin!! ”

"Here's the thing: Today, Lu Hehao finished talking in front of the Empress Dowager, and after retiring and leaving Mingren Palace, he went out not far and found that this Zhu Chunyang was wandering on the side of the palace road, and his behavior was very suspicious! It was a few words of interrogation before the above - who knew that Zhu Chunyang suddenly took out the dagger and stabbed Lu Hehao! ”

"In the middle of this, Zhu Chunyang has said a few words, but it has a lot to do with the assassins who died near Mingren Palace yesterday, as well as Zhu Qin!"

"It seems that the queen just came from the emperor?"

The Queen Mother looked at the silent Empress Wei, and said with a pleasant face, "But I don't know, what does the emperor think about this matter?" ”

"Naturally, there are opinions." Empress Wei said coldly, "Speaking of which, Zhu Qin has been serving His Majesty for twenty years!" No one expected that he would have another master! Calculate the time, and the people who have been calculating His Majesty since that time have really hidden it deep enough! ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at the Queen Mother and sneered, "Of course, the daughter-in-law definitely didn't mean to blame the Queen Mother - although it was said that the Queen Mother was in charge of the Sixth Palace at that time, but this kind of thing can't be prevented!" Queen Mother, you say yes, right? ”

Although Zhu Qin's skills were inferior and he failed to completely solve this murder for Emperor Duanhua, he did not die completely in vain: with the way he did before his death, Empress Wei did not say that she would burn the fire to the Su family, and she also had a reason to quarrel with the Su family!

Empress Dowager Su listened to the queen's ridicule, and her face remained unchanged: "It's a pity that Zhu Qin chewed her tongue in public yesterday. In the end, there is no proof of death! Otherwise, I have to find out his details thoroughly, so that I can vent my anger for you! ”

smiled slightly, "Fortunately, although Zhu Qin is dead, Zhu Chunyang was captured alive today - Zhu Chunyang and Zhu Qin are both fellow villagers and relatives, and since Zhu Qin entered the East Palace, his heels have also been transferred to the East Palace, so it can be said that Zhu Qin's iron stalk henchmen!" If Zhu Qin is instructed by others behind the scenes, Zhu Chunyang is probably the same! When the time comes, won't you know who Zhu Qin's old master is? ”

"What the Queen Mother said is not right!" Empress Wei sneered, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhu Qin's so-called intention to kill the monarch and the so-called murder of the emperor yesterday was actually a loyal protector, and now the so-called queen mother wants to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but it is better to find an opportunity to deduct the crime of assassinating the empress dowager on the head of Emperor Duanhua!

How does this work?

Giving birth to King Qing with Concubine Nuan has already ruined Emperor Duanhua's reputation.

If there is another murder of his grandmother, how can Emperor Duanhua have room to step down?

If you can't step down by yourself, that is to be deposed - the emperor who stepped down by himself, there is still the possibility of recommending a successor, as for the abolition of the emperor, the new monarch has it to say that it is long and short?

This is very unfavorable to the crown prince's accession to the throne, how can Empress Wei tolerate it?

said coldly at the moment, "This Zhu Chunyang has also been doing things in the palace for so many years, and it's not that he has a problem with his brain!" Yesterday, Zhu Qin murdered His Majesty, and today he wandered in front of Mingren Palace with a dagger, and took the initiative to attack Lu Hehao, isn't this clearly afraid that we won't notice him? Do you know if the real murderer behind the scenes deliberately threw it out to confuse the sight? ”

Lu Hehao, who glanced at the tent again, sneered and said, "And this Lu Hehao...... Is Xu in the palace more scruples? Wang's is so good! ”

These words are obviously alluding to Lu Hehao's previous actions of blocking arrows with his wife and children.

"Anyway, since this happened in the palace, we have to figure it out after all!" Empress Dowager Su smiled faintly, "Otherwise, how can we people sleep peacefully in the future, right?" ”

She looked at the queen, "Calculate the time, all the princes have already entered the palace now, right?" I don't know how His Majesty will explain to them? ”

Empress Wei's face was expressionless: "Why should the queen mother be anxious? Later, don't you know? ”

When she said this, she secretly clenched her fists!

β€”β€”When she had just persuaded Emperor Duanhua to pass on the crown prince, Zhu Chunyang's assassination suddenly happened, and it spread to the court, and I don't know what variables it will cause?

At this moment, the court is indeed tense!

Because after the hundred officials entered the palace, Emperor Duanhua said that he planned to issue an edict and abdicate to show repentance. ”

Emperor Duanhua felt a numb scalp when he saw him - this was the shadow of how many court battles had fallen when the emperor had not ascended the throne earlier - at this moment, Qiu Shuxia came out, and there was no good thing to say.

Therefore, the emperor didn't want to give him a chance to speak, so he only said to the others with some indifference: "After I pass on the crown prince, I will go to the emperor's mausoleum to guard the tomb for the first emperor as ......."

"Since Your Majesty has never forgotten the grace of the first emperor, why was he confused by the beauty of Concubine Nuan at the beginning?" It's just that Emperor Duanhua learned wisely this time and ignored Qiu Shuxia, but Qiu Shuxia asked reluctantly, "If that's the case, why did Your Majesty agree to confess your blood with King Qing in public last night?" The minister thinks that His Majesty was calculated at the beginning? ”

Emperor Duanhua subconsciously stopped, and his original expression gradually changed, and he looked at him with some surprise.

It is said that Qiu Shuxia is the iron stalk of the Su family, the supporter of King Su - that is, the enemy of Emperor Duanhua.

How could the enemy help Emperor Duanhua speak?

But at this moment, Qiu Shuxia clearly said, "Your Majesty is calculated", which made Emperor Duanhua hesitate.

After all, the emperor who is not yet thirty years old, the emperor who has been instilled with "to be a Ming monarch in the future" since he was a child, if he is really desperate, how can he be willing to give up the throne and go to what is too emperor?

Even though he knew that unless he could prove that King Qing was not his bloodline again, there was little hope of overturning the case, Emperor Duanhua still wanted to defend himself - not only because of interests, but also because of the unwillingness in his heart!

He respects Emperor Xianjia so much, how could he go to touch Concubine Nuan?!

But the result of the blood confession is there, so he can't tell why!

Thinking that even if no one talks in front of him in the future, he must think that he is an unfilial son, Emperor Xianjia is so good to him, the eldest son, he has been with him since he was a child and taught him personally, in order to support him in the throne, he did not hesitate to pass on the only son-in-law!

And when Emperor Xianjia died, he slept with his beautiful concubine - such a big grievance, Emperor Duanhua himself wondered, how could he still calmly follow Empress Wei's request to pave the way for the prince here?

It's just that when I thought of the prince, the original urge to talk immediately went cold.

Emperor Duanhua smiled bitterly in his heart: "Not to mention that Qiu Shuxia must have bad intentions, even if he really thinks that I am calculated, so what?" King Gyeong......"

Thinking of the biological son who had been raised by himself as a younger brother for two years, Emperor Duanhua did not have any pity in his heart, only felt disgusted and disgusted, his eyes were cold, and he sighed secretly, "Now, I have no future!" Let's hold on to the prince! ”

So he didn't make a sound, just looked at Weixi under his eyes.

Wei Xi will be out of the queue.
