Chapter 33: They Must Die!
Jingzhong, Imperial City, Ganquan Palace, Taishi Palace.
Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Chu Weisang under the Danqi with some impatience: "Why did the emperor come to see the mourning family?" β
"I heard that the queen mother didn't think about tea and dinner in the past few days, and the sons were worried, so they came to serve." Chu Weisang respectfully picked up the bird's nest from the gold-painted tray that the palace people knelt up, "The queen mother's phoenix body is important, please read it for the sake of the common people, how much more?" β
Empress Dowager Jiang frowned - the three people who were taken captive in the Shazhou Incident, except for Ling Zui, who didn't care, Jiang Qizheng was a niece who grew up. Even if you don't mention this aunt and nephew relationship, the consequences of this niece's death will give the Queen Mother a headache! In this case, how can Empress Dowager Jiang be in the mood to eat bird's nest?
"Even if my father can still control the scene now, the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law dare not speak out, but at my father's age, how many years can he suppress it? When the time comes, the four rooms will be settled with the big house and the third room - this can be thought of by the mourning family, how can the father not think of it? In order to keep the big house and the third room, the Zhenxi Army must be assigned to them as hole cards, so as not to carry heavy soldiers in the fourth room in the future and avenge the Zheng'er! β
Empress Dowager Jiang was upset, "The establishment of the Zhenxi Army was originally to resist the Western Barbarians, if it falls into the hands of the big house and the third room, it will become a tool for fighting with the fourth room in the future!" Now that my father is still alive, these two people can do something to my nieces and nephews, what else can't be done!? For his own selfishness, he abandoned the society and entered Beijing......"
If Jiang Qizheng's accident made Empress Dowager Jiang feel that political rain was coming, then Ou Qinglan's abduction was a personal trouble-the Empress Dowager's only biological daughter, Princess Yongfu, was promised to Ou Bicheng!
"The Ou family is such a daughter, like a baby, even the little aunt who has always been strict with her younger generations has personally asked her father to intercede for her!" The Queen Mother felt that this day was simply unbearable, "As a result, it was broken in Shazhou due to the infighting of the Jiang family, how could the Ou family give up?!" Originally, the Ou family was with the four rooms, but now the children of the two families have an accident together, and the big house and the third room are in trouble...... In terms of strength, in fact, it should be on the side of the Sifang and the Ou family! But my father ......"
In fact, Qin Guogong's position is also very difficult to deal with this matter, it's not that he is really so partial to the big house, and he is so partial that he doesn't forget to protect the big house when the fourth room is killed-mainly because the big house, the third room, and the fourth room are his blood relatives, he wants to punish the big house and the third room to give the fourth room angry, but he doesn't want the children of the Jiang family to fight for a married daughter, especially the main executors Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing are the best among the children of the Jiang family this time!
But if they are not executed, what other punishment can appease the anger of the four chambers?
In this way, the four rooms will definitely take revenge - this revenge is most likely to kill each other!
Qin Guogong didn't want to see that scene, so he could only continue to sprinkle salt on the wounds of the four rooms and the Ou family, not only did not punish the big room and the third room, but increased their strength, so that the fourth room did not dare to do anything.
I want Qin Guogong not to pull this bias, unless he believes that the fourth room will never retaliate against the big house and the third room...... However, Empress Dowager Jiang knew that this was impossible, and others didn't say it, Mrs. Zhuang's temper could lead people into the big house at the beginning, and beat her to death in front of the Dou family to marry, not to mention the revenge of killing women? !
It's no wonder she doesn't cut the big room and the third room up and down alive!
Unable to change Qin Guogong's mind, Empress Dowager Jiang was worried about her political investment and her daughter's future: "Although Sifang firmly controls the Zhenbei Army, the power in the court is too weak!" Although Xue Chang is still the right person now, Jiang Tianqiao and Jiang Tianqi have begun to accept customers and control the government! As soon as the military department and the household department join forces, the four rooms will be disgraced by the baggage alone! If they have the Zhenxi Army again, they don't even have to worry about forcing the four rooms to be in a hurry - if the four rooms are in danger, the best outcome for the mourning family in the future is to be a puppet! β
"Eternal blessings for mourning the family...... What can be the best end? β
The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more frustrated she became, and after a while, she raised her head, but was surprised to find that Chu Weisang had not left yet, and was looking at herself respectfully and worriedly.
"Nothing to do with the mourning family!" Although she knew that Chu Weisang's filial piety was out of fear rather than sincerity, Empress Dowager Jiang thought that she was not very good to him, so seeing that he had been guarding him for so long at this moment, she was also a little embarrassed in her heart, and said gently, "Let the emperor worry...... Bird's nest is placed here, mourning will be used for a while, the emperor will go back to his palace, it's cold, take care of yourself! β
Chu Weisang said obediently: "Queen Mother, the bird's nest before has been cold, and the son asked people to go back to get heat." Rong Erchen is waiting for you to use a lamp before leaving? β
Looking at his expectant gaze, Empress Dowager Jiang's heart softened and nodded.
After a while, the harem people took a new bird's nest, Chu Weisang took it with both hands, stepped on the Danqi, and personally served the Empress Dowager Jiang.
After that, I cared about the Queen Mother for a few words, and asked about the current situation of the eldest princess of Yongfu...... After spending a long time in the Taishi Palace, and coaxing the Empress Dowager Jiang into a happy mood, Chu Weisang retired.
As soon as he came out of Ganquan Palace, the fatigue he concealed on his face couldn't stop being revealed, so that when the emperor arrived at Funing Palace, he almost fell when he got down! Concubine Wu, who was waiting for him on the stairs, was taken aback, and ran down to help him regardless of her demeanor: "Be careful, the emperor!" β
Concubine Wu is Wu Jieyu in the time of the first emperor, that is, Chu Weisang's biological mother.
After Chu Weisang ascended the throne, it stands to reason that his mother-in-law should be respected as the queen mother, and his biological mother should be the queen mother. But for fear of provoking the Jiang family's dislike, the Wu family found a lot of reasons to be willing to take the concubine position...... This interest was in return for her being able to visit Chu Weisang at any time.
Concubine Wu, who has no other children, is going to visit her son almost every other day, and the relationship between mother and son is naturally deep.
When Concubine Wu was outside the palace, Empress Dowager Jiang did not dare to teach her own son a lesson openly, and when she entered the hall and cleared the scene, she began to chatter: "How old a person is, why don't you take care of yourself?" On such a cold day, you just want to serve the Queen Mother, so you can take care of yourself, right? The people around you ......"
Thinking that those people were all sent by the Empress Dowager Jiang, Concubine Wu's face stiffened and she didn't dare to continue, sighed and said, "Anyway, you have to take care of your body......"
"My life is almost gone, what are you talking about taking care of your body?" Chu Weisang took a sip of the ginseng tea handed by his biological mother, laughed at himself, and said lightly.
Concubine Wu was shocked when she heard this, and almost pushed down the dwarf table in front of her: "What nonsense are you talking about?" β
"Jiang Ba escorted Jiang Eighteen and the Ou family girl and Ling Zui to Shazhou City, but they were attacked a hundred miles outside the city!" Chu Weisang said in a low voice, "Except for Jiang Ba, the other three seem to be all finished!" β
Concubine Wu was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "What does this have to do with us?" β
Although being a puppet does not have the qualifications to take ideas, it is easy not to have to make up ideas.
Chu Weisang looked at Concubine Wu: "Mother thinks it's okay?" He smiled bitterly, "If Erchen's expectations are good, there is a good chance that the real culprit behind this matter is eight times out of ten. Jiuhui will be planted on the head of the son! β
"What?!" Concubine Wu was stunned, "What does this and this have to do with you?!" β
She was completely stunned!
"You have always served the queen mother, and I think the queen mother is also very satisfied with you...... Why, how can you still make the Queen Mother displeased?! Concubine Wu's tears fell immediately, she had been in the palace for so many years, and her fear of Empress Dowager Jiang had long become a habit, and when she heard that her son would become a scapegoat, her first reaction was not anger but grievance, "Aren't our mother and son not interesting enough?" β
Chu Weisang was also a little choked: "It's not that we are not interesting enough!" But...... Qin Guogong couldn't admit that the people who attacked and murdered Jiang Eighteen in the name of Guo Qingwu were the Jiang family's big house and third room! β
Concubine Wu was stunned: "You mean ......?" β
"The other scapegoats are not weighty enough, and it is difficult for the Jiang family to stop...... Mother, can you say that this is not for your sons? β
ββ¦β¦ Empress Dowager Gu has not died for a long time, can't it be the remnants of the Gu family? Concubine Wu was at a loss for a while before she thought of a reason, "After all, Empress Dowager Gu has been regent for more than 30 years, how can it be so easy to be completely eradicated?!" β
Chu Weisang smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, what the Jiang family wants now is not to explain in front of the world, but to explain to the four rooms of the Jiang family!" β
Without waiting for Concubine Wu to speak, he continued, "And the fourth room of the Jiang family has already determined that this incident was done by the big room and the third room of the Jiang family - so this scapegoat must not only be weighty, but also reasonable and reasonable, so that even if the fourth room can't believe it all, he will be suspicious!" β
"Erchen is unwilling to be the Son of Heaven but is like a puppet, so he uses the remnants left by the emperor's grandmother to provoke Qingwu to murder the fourth room and others, and frame the big house and the third room!" Chu Weisang said hesitantly, "Then the Jiang family will either kill or abolish their sons...... At this point, Qin Guogong can confidently persuade his son and nephew to reconcile, and don't fall for the discord and sowing discord of his sons! This is the most beneficial ending for the Jiang family! β
Concubine Wu burst into tears: "But our mother and sonβ"
She pressed her chest tightly and begged, "But there must be a way, right?" Emperor, you have always been smart, and your mother is far from being able to match you...... You have a way, right!? β
Chu Weisang was silent for a while, and said quietly: "The only way is to make the fourth room of the Jiang family make up their minds to turn against the big house and the third room of the Jiang family!" turned his face and turned to the point that even if Jiang Shibai and his party were attacked and planted to their sons, they would not be able to make up for it! In this way, Qin Guogong will not do anything superfluous! β
Concubine Wu ignited a glimmer of hope: "Then what should I do?" β
"Naturally, I killed Jiang Yayue, and Jiang Yaqing!" At the same moment, Ruan Mansion and Jiang Yashuang stood in Qiu Jinglan's study with their hands behind their backs, and said calmly, "Grandfather still wants to whitewash the peace, but I can't bear it anymore!" This time it's the eighteenth sister, Ah Xing, and the innocent Ling drunk - what about next time? Is it starling, it's my nephews, or even you're me? β
He shook his head, "It's human nature to get an inch, what's more, why are our sisters dead, their sons are still alive, and will step on their blood, tears and lives to get the Zhenxi Army?!" β
"Jiang Yayue and Jiang Ya love must die!"
"They are dead, and my brother can naturally take over the Zhenxi Army! The big room and the third room can no longer expect one room to be the same! They don't dare to look at everyone around you and me like ants anymore! β
"I want them to die too!" Ou Bicheng was sitting not far from him, his face expressionless, "But, Qiu Jinglan can't do it!" Since the big house and the third room have made a move on Ah Xing, how can they not guard against Qiu Jinglan?! Even if Qiu Jinglan can succeed under layers of prevention, he will not do it himself, he is not a child of the Jiang family, although Qin Guogong loves his talents, and he has to consider the pregnancy of the county lord of Ningyi, but he may still be executed in anger! He doted on Lord Ningyi so much, but he hadn't even seen his nephew, how could he just give his life like this? β
"I know." Jiang Yashuang said lightly, "I don't want him to do this either-if he is really caught and killed by his grandfather, not only will I not be able to deal with Ning Yi, but I will also not be able to find a second person to take over the Zhenxi Army!" β
Ou Bicheng frowned and said, "Then who are you counting on?" βR638
