Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Emperor Is Assassinated!

…… Here is the Chinese New Year's Eve feast. []

It's not just the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet - according to the rules since the founding of Darui, the palace banquet is divided before and after, the former dynasty is the emperor to entertain the courtiers, and the harem is naturally the queen to entertain all the women.

However, the two queens of this dynasty fought for power, and no one refused to stay in the harem to receive the wife, so that the other party would go with the emperor to the previous dynasty to accept the bowing and blessings of the ministers.

So after a few pinching, the result was a compromise: let's just eat this feast together!

Of course, men and women are still separated - looking down from the danqi, the man is on the left and the woman is on the right.

At this moment, Qiu Lulan was not by her husband's side, she could only look at him through the crowd, secretly anxious!

But seeing that Jiang Yashuang was still calm in the face of the Queen Mother's party's request for merit, the resentment of the daughters of the Dou family, and Jiang Tianqiao's blurted out angry questions, he got up and saluted Danqi first, and replied: "This matter has nothing to do with the lower officials, how dare the lower officials accept the reward?" ”

When he said this, Qin Guogong looked at Jiang Tianqiao very calmly, the latter's face was pale, but after thinking about it, he slowly sat back.

"Jiang Hanlin has a noble character, humility and does not take credit, and we admire it." The one who came out to propose a reward to him was an imperial historian under Qiu Dian, who came prepared, so naturally he would not be sent away easily, and said with a smile at the moment, "It's just that Jiang Hanlin is a Hanlin, and Zigong's reason for letting Jin and Zilu receive cattle is clear, so why should he go against the teachings of the sage?" It's not for yourself, but also for the future society, right? ”

The two allusions of Zigong and Zilu can actually be summarized into a truth, that is, advocating that good people should have good rewards - so that everyone will work hard to do good things for good rewards, and when there are more good people and good things, the society will be harmonious; Don't advocate doing good deeds without getting paid - so everyone's enthusiasm is definitely not so high, and it is of course a long way to go if you want to enter a harmonious society.

This imperial history said this, obviously implying that if Jiang Yashuang was not rewarded for exposing the Dou family, how many people would be willing to stand up and expose these traitors in the future?

It's a high-sounding one!

Qiu Yulan gritted her teeth and glared at the man, secretly praying that Jiang Yashuang could cope with this situation!

"It's not that the lower officials don't follow the teachings of the saints, but this skill is inexplicable to the lower officials, how can the lower officials accept it shyly?" Jiang Yashuang replied indifferently, "Yushi's words, the lower officials are confused, and I really don't know where to start?" ”

That Yushi was about to speak, and Empress Jiang, who had an extremely ugly face when he opened his mouth before, interjected coldly: "This year has been sealed, and now it is the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, just as the monarch and the courtiers are happy, Dai Cong, you suddenly came out to mention the Dou family affairs, what do you want?!" ”

Feng Ya is the saying that the court is on vacation at this time, except for military affairs during the holiday, or accidents that will shake the rule, they will be temporarily suppressed and will be dealt with after returning to work.

Regardless of whether Jiang Yashuang was the one who exposed the Dou family, the Dou family dealt with it anyway, and it was obviously not suitable to disturb everyone's interest at this banquet - in the end, this banquet only comes once a year.

The imperial history named Dai Cong was not panicked when he was scolded by the queen, smiled and arched his hand, and said: "The queen is not strange, and the minister can't bear to bury this work and no one knows, so he dares to put it forward!" The reason why I say it at this moment is also because the only person who proves it...... I'm afraid it's hard to survive tonight! Jiang Hanlin is so high-spirited and bright, how can he be willing to accept this reward without a witness? ”

When these words came out, the faces of the Jiang family changed in unison, except for Qin Guogong and Jiang Yashuang: Dai Cong dared to speak conspiratorily on an occasion like this, and he ignored this kind of festive day to say bad things about the witnesses who were about to be overwhelmed, obviously he was completely sure that he could prove that the fall of the Dou family was from Jiang Yashuang's hands!

Even Jiang Tianqi, who wished that Jiang Tianqiao was unlucky, looked at this nephew's gaze changed - after all, Jiang Yashuang could poison Jiang Tianqiao's in-laws, and he could also calculate him, the third uncle, right?

It's just that Jiang Yashuang noticed his gaze but ignored it, but sneered: "In that case, I implore the queen mother to send several fair people to confront that person?" Although the subordinate officials are not sensitive, they really can't do things that take credit! ”

Empress Jiang's face changed, at this time, in fact, the queen didn't know the truth about the fall of the Dou family, and she thought that the Queen Mother's party had set a trap and waited for Jiang Ya to be frosted, so as to provoke the outbreak of internal contradictions in the Jiang family - but the queen was also embarrassed, allow it, all this was clearly arranged by the Queen Mother's party! Even if Jiang Yashuang is innocent, how can people dare to provoke trouble and not grasp the round?

Don't allow it, how can Jiang Tianqiao's suspicions be dispelled?!

After all, the Dou family's fall this time was too sudden!

If it's the same as the Tao family and the Duan family, it's just greedy. The charge of bribery is also gone, and the Dou family has indeed made a lot of money by relying on the power of the Jiang family over the years. But selling weapons to Xiban is such a big taboo, and the Dou family is not a fool, how can they not hide it?

Even if you accidentally show a little bit of your feet, it won't be found by the Queen Mother Party in such a short period of time, and the family will become an outcast, right?!

So the Dou family was actually sold by the people of the queen party - and even this person is very likely to be the person who does not deal with the Jiang family and the Jiang family's big house, this speculation ...... There are many people who believe in it today.

Jiang Tianqiao and his wife didn't say anything, but they had already doubted it in their hearts. But it hasn't been found out for a while - Jiang Yashuang is actually not on their suspicion list, this nephew is too young! Even if Dai Cong is biting him now, Jiang Tianqiao is angry, but in fact, he thinks that Jiang Tianchi, who is far north, sent someone to send a secret letter to his son to guide him to do this!

…… Talking far away, in short, the queen hesitated for a while, but she couldn't come up with a correct idea, and the Empress Dowager Gu waited impatiently: "Since the interest has been swept away, let's send two people to take a look...... Dai Cong: Where are the witnesses you are talking about? At the end of the year, you are a little measured! ”

Dai Cong hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang, the minister has ordered someone to place it in the house not far from the palace gate, the house was prepared by the minister in the past, and it has been newly repaired, and there is absolutely no place that is not suitable for Jiang Hanlin to go over at this moment!" "For the New Year's holiday, how can the queen party agree to call the most noble Hanlin of this dynasty or the grandson of the Jiang family to an unlucky place such as a prison? !

Now that Dai Cong said that people were taken by him in his house, this reason for opposing and attacking is no longer necessary.

Empress Dowager Gu asked Qin Guogong in a very casual tone: "What do you see?" ”

"It's all up to the mother!" Qin Guogong smiled gently, and Jiang Tianqiao hesitated to ask: "Second uncle, let Yun'er accompany Nineteen for a while?" He offered to let his eldest son come over, and apparently Dai Cong's words had convinced him ninety percent.

Qin Guogong still smiled: "Niangniang? ”

Empress Dowager Gu has no opinion - this play is sung for the Jiang family's big house, and now the main owner wants to listen to the confession with her own ears, where will Empress Dowager Gu stop it?

It's just that no one expected that after Jiang Yayun "accompanied" Jiang Yashuang and several middle-level officials who went to act as witnesses to retire and leave, not long after, due to such an obviously deserted feast, a major change occurred that surprised everyone!

Yes, a major change - the emperor, who had always played the role of the backdrop, suddenly spat black blood from his mouth, and then fell down with purple lips!

The imperial doctor, who was almost carried over by the royal forest army rushing to and fro, didn't have time to do the ceremony, and even climbed up to the Danqi with a rolling belt, and confirmed with just one glance: "Your Majesty has been poisoned!" Highly toxic! ”

"Then why don't you come to the rescue?!" Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang almost shouted this sentence in unison!

However, the next Qiu Lulan and Xin Fubing glanced at each other from a few people, and their hearts were clear: what these two really want to say is probably "Is there still salvation?!" ”

There is no one in the entire hall who can be calm, even if the clouds and the wind are as light as Qin Guogong, this face is unstoppably gloomy - there is no way not to be gloomy, although the second queen has now lost their troops and lost their generals, but the biggest hole card side army has not moved - Qiu Jinglan has not yet arrived in Shazhou!

If the emperor is really gone tonight, the country cannot be without a king for a day, which is equivalent to forcing the second queen to fight to the death immediately!

And Qiu Jinglan's advance westward journey has disrupted the queen's plan to a certain extent, and the emperor's death at this moment will be an even greater disruption. What makes Qin Guogong most uneasy is that the emperor's poison has anything to do with the Queen Mother's party? !

After all, Qiu Jinglan's westward journey was designed by the Queen Mother's Party before, and if the emperor was poisoned, it was also done by the Queen Mother's side, which shows that although the Jiang family didn't inquire about it, the Queen Mother's Party was indeed ready for a decisive battle!

The unprepared Queen Party is against the prepared Queen Mother Party - even if there is the card Xue Chang, but who knows if the Queen Mother Party already knows?!

Do you need to talk about the fate of the queen party in this way?!

In the anxiety of everyone, the imperial doctor was busy for more than an hour before wiping a cold sweat and concluding: "The poison in Your Majesty is extremely poisonous, but fortunately, there are not many, and now I think there should be no worries about my life!" ”

Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang both breathed a sigh of relief......

The problem is that the doctor still has it, "but ......"

The fierce gaze of the most noble pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world immediately swept over, making the imperial doctor silentβ€”but he still had to continue, otherwise even if he mixed it up now, there would be no good fruit to eat in the future: "This poison is really violent, Your Majesty's imperial body, I'm afraid it will ...... in the future."

The emperor's body is like that, after all, how strong can you expect a puppet emperor who spends his days in the harem to be?

This poisoning can be said to be nine deaths, how can you not lose your vitality? The imperial physician was also afraid that Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang would find out that although the emperor was not dead, his health was poor, and he would not be able to explain it at that time - so he took advantage of the current situation to make a bottom and repeatedly emphasized that the poison in the emperor was very, very, very poisonous!!

It's not that our medical skills are not good, it's that the person who started it is too vicious! The emperor can choose a life, it is my blessing, and there is no way to damage the body!

Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang knew the meaning of the imperial doctor's words, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other, and Empress Jiang said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!! ”

It was rare that the Queen Mother did not answer her words coldly, and her face was pale: "Not bad!" It must be thoroughly investigated!! ”

What are you kidding, in full view of everyone, the emperor was almost poisoned, so what about them?! If you don't check this matter, will you be able to stay safe in the future?

Zheng and Lin, the two female officials, rushed to the Danqi at the same time, and loudly announced the decree approved by the queen mother and the queen - the entire palace people will be temporarily detained as suspects, and the palace people will check and check one by one whether it is related to the emperor's poisoning!

As soon as these words came out, the temple was full of explosions! ()
