Chapter 388: The Queen Mother Hangs the Beam
Empress Wei actually didn't suspect that the Lu family was not the real murderer.
But when King Liang presented evidence for the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to see, she accompanied her and happened to recognize two of the things that Xiyu had given to the Huang family in her early years - she had to say this!
Because if it was only Jian Xubai's father and daughter, as well as the descendants of the Yanguo Mansion, no one would doubt the queen.
However, Emperor Duanhua's second son also fell for the trick, and Empress Wei found the suspicion but did not immediately break it, what should someone suspect her when she turned around?
Although it is said that the second prince cannot threaten the crown prince at the moment, the royal family cannot explain this kind of thing clearly.
Moreover, Han Ji's incident has always been the queen's heart disease.
Even if Emperor Xianjia goes, judging from Emperor Duanhua's attitude towards her, she shouldn't know at all - but the queen still doesn't dare to take it lightly, after all, Shentu Guifei in this dynasty is a ready-made example, when she was favored, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xianjia were pressed like something, so who wouldn't think that it must be this concubine who will live in Mingren Palace in the future?
The result?
was ruined and ruined, and countless cases were involved.
Empress Wei doesn't want to fall short, so she naturally pays attention to this kind of detail.
This will make Gu Shao's speculation about the real murderer behind the scenes give Empress Wei a headache: "What does it mean to take care of the prime minister, the real murderer behind the scenes may really have something to do with the two kings of Suxiang, after all, His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and he has not treated anyone badly, except for these two kings, who will let go of a good life and toss such a big thing?" It's just that the third brother didn't find any evidence; Second, the imperial aunt of the Jin Kingdom made a big fuss about the fire to the second king of Suxiang for the third brother, and His Majesty easily persuaded the imperial aunt's anger, how can this be mentioned again? β
Especially if she didn't want to mention it herself-otherwise, although the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom might not smoke her like a nephew, she would definitely not have a good impression of her.
Empress Wei knew that Emperor Duanhua respected the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom very much, but she didn't want to rashly dislike this aunt.
What's more, the Queen Mother is still here, wouldn't she like to see her own daughter and grandson?
But if she doesn't mention it, Empress Wei is not at ease, after all, this world is her husband's now, and it will be her son's in the future - according to the meaning of Gu Shao's words, if she obeys the guidance of the real murderer behind the scenes and regards the Lu family as the culprit, it will not only weaken the power of the Duanhua Emperor's lineage, but what is even worse is that who knows if the real murderer behind the scenes will have a backhand, and use this matter to cause chaos in the entire court?
The two kings of Suxiang were only established after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and it has been less than a year since then.
Due to Emperor Xianjia's relatively mild handling methods before, and Emperor Duanhua has not made any big moves since he came to power, although these two kings failed the year before last, the blow to their own forces is actually not fatal.
Emperor Duanhua, who has only been on the throne for a year, is no longer afraid of these two brothers at all......
Empress Wei sighed, her husband's qualifications as a monarch were too far behind those of Emperor Xianjia.
Therefore, even if Gu Shao said this in order to protect the Lu family and the Lu family, Empress Wei didn't dare to bet.
After all, once this kind of thing is lost, it will be the end of a change of dynasty.
"I said that I would definitely tell Your Majesty, but ...... How do you put it? Empress Wei was thinking about it, but a palace maid walked in outside, and cautiously announced: "Niangniang, Lu Shangshu wrote a blood book, and asked the guards to forward it to Your Majesty!" β
Empress Wei's eyebrows jumped, and she said, "What does the blood book say?" β
Lu Shangshu ...... It was revealed that Mrs. Yan Guo had an affair with Su Shaoge, the brother of the Marquis of Ji State. Feeling! The palace maid knew that the queen had a good relationship with Song Yixiao, so she was a little trembling when she said this.
When King Liang told Emperor Duanhua and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom about this before, the queen was not there, so it was the first time she heard this statement, and she laughed angrily when she heard it: "This is really a coincidence!" Lu Yicheng's second daughter-in-law, Xu, only revealed that Lu Yicheng's daughter Lu had a secret relationship with the Marquis of Boling, and Lu Yicheng said that Brother Song had an affair with Su Shaoge? It's hard for the two daughters-in-law to be caught. Traitor. Target? β
Shiwan saw that the palace maid had nothing else to say, signaled her to retire first, and then said to the queen: "This Lu Shangshu is really confused, he is the old man in front of His Majesty, why should he ask His Majesty, can Your Majesty not open the net?" As soon as this blood book comes out, how can Your Majesty protect him? β
"I'm afraid he thinks that this time the Lu family took on the smallpox, but it was the handiwork of Brother and Sister Song." Empress Wei's face was pale, and she said, "I feel that the Lu family is no longer lucky, and I want to take revenge on Brother and Sister Song even if they die together-but he can't do anything about Brother Song at the moment, so he chose this kind of most unclear private relationship between men and women, even if it is clear in the end that the innocence between Brother Song and Su Shaoge is clear, and a lady of the country is rumored to be like that, how can she still have the face to go out in the future?"
This means that the queen understands Song Yixiao and knows that she is not the kind of person who will prove her innocence after being wronged.
Change to a really gentle and virtuous lady, catch up with this kind of thing, I'm afraid I won't go to it sooner. Hang!
However, Empress Wei's anger at the moment is not to laugh and grieve for Song Yi, she hates Lu Yicheng for having no brains!
She and Gu Shaozheng are thinking about clearing up the grievances of the Lu family, so as not to fall into the calculation of the real murderer behind the scenes, Lu Yicheng will come to such a hand - so that even if it is immediately clear that the Lu family has nothing to do with smallpox, there will be no room for mediation in the future between the grievances between the Yanguo Mansion and the Lu family!
Will Jian Xubai stand the cuckold on his head?!
He can stand it, and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and the empress dowager can't bear it, right!?
However, the trouble caused by Lu Yicheng's move is not only in the future: although this matter did not force Song Yixiao to go up. hanging, but the Empress Dowager Su immediately dismissed the palace people after hearing the news. Hang!
There is a very good reason for the Queen Mother to hang herself on the palace beams of the palace - she wants to use her death to assure Emperor Duanhua of her nephew's character!
β¦β¦ Fortunately, the queen mother's palace maid Fangyu noticed that something was wrong, and led someone to knock open the palace door in time to save the queen mother.
Rao is like this, and this matter has also spread all over Cuihua Mountain in the shortest possible time!
"Emperor, what does the Queen Mother say, she is also your mother-in-law!" The Empress Dowager personally arrived to visit her daughter-in-law, and then called Emperor Duanhua to the side hall, sighed and said, "You should, for the sake of your father, let her live a peaceful and stable old age, okay?" After all, it's the one who has accompanied your father through ups and downs! β
Emperor Duanhua almost wanted to vomit blood, although he was not close to his mother-in-law, and he could even be said to be very estranged, but he definitely didn't have the idea of forcing his mother-in-law to death, okay? !
This time the matter was obviously made by Lu Yicheng - but the discussions inside and outside all pointed to him, the emperor, not honoring his mother, otherwise how could the empress dowager choose to self for the exposure of a courtier. Exhaust?
This is obviously that the emperor is not very good to his mother-in-law, and the queen mother has no other way to cry out for her nephew than to seek death!
Emperor Duanhua endured his anger and expressed his respect and awe to the Empress Dowager Su, saying that he had absolutely no intention of attacking the Su family, let alone instructing Lu Yicheng to buckle the cuckold on his cousin's head, all of this was Lu Yicheng's sin, and he would definitely make this short-sighted courtier pay the price......
finally coaxed away the empress dowager, and Emperor Duanhua went to visit the empress dowager who was still in a coma, and almost told the empress dowager left and right, and fully demonstrated his filial piety and thoughtfulness, he dragged his tired body back to the palace where he lived.
"Gu Xiang?" I thought I could take a good breath, but when I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw Gu Shaohou in the court, and Emperor Duanhua said exhaustedly, "Gu Xiangzhi is here, but is there something?" β
"Your Majesty, Lu Yicheng is gone." Gu Shao's expression was very solemn, "He took the poison himself." β
"Good death!" Emperor Duanhua was still very partial to Lu Yicheng, but this time what this courtier did was too tricky, especially the emperor, who was angry, and naturally had nothing good to say when he heard the words, "Are the rest of the Lu family still alive?" β
Gu Shao sighed: "Your Majesty, the minister has asked the imperial doctor, the Lu family has never produced flowers, a few days ago before Miss Jian had flowers, Lu Yicheng and Yan Guogong occasionally met on the road, greeted each other, talked, and did not have any special protection or fear. You said that if the Lu family is really the mastermind, do they resent Mrs. Yan Guo to the point where they did not hesitate to pay the family to harm Mrs. Yan Guo? β
He also said, "The minister just got the news and went to Lu's house, and Lu Yicheng was already deadβto be honest, the minister was very suspicious of whether he was self-sufficient. Exhaust! Because the minister wanted to ask him why he slandered Mrs. Yan Guo and Su Shaoge! β
"Speaking of which, Lu Yicheng is also an old man who follows me." When Emperor Duanhua heard this, he was silent for a while, and said, "Even if the smallpox thing is really done by their family this time, I will always keep one or two of the underage grandchildren under his knees, so as to ensure the inheritance of their Lu family, with the affection of the monarch and the minister for many years." In this way, this time the queen mother was forced to hang on the beam, and it really shouldn't have been done by him! β
"Your Majesty is kind!" Gu Shao said, "So the minister is very suspicious, the real murderer behind the scenes is not small!" β
On this eye joint, the sentence "the plot is not small" is enough to make Emperor Duanhua understand.
The emperor was silent for a moment and said: "The empress dowager is old, and my imperial aunt, Gu Xiang also knows: the imperial aunt has never been involved in politics, but she loves her children the most. β
"The minister thinks that this matter is very high, and it must be thoroughly investigated!" Gu Shao said, "There is no impermeable wall in the world - the reason why His Royal Highness King Liang was frustrated before was, in the final analysis, because there was no evidence!" β
King Liang's fate was left there, and Gu Shao was not stupid, how could he directly persuade Emperor Duanhua to attack the two younger brothers who had gone out?
It was because he took a step back and changed it to suggest that Emperor Duanhua find out the evidence, with evidence, even if it is the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, she can only intercede for her daughter and son-in-law, where is there any reason to beat the person who made the suggestion in public?
However, half a day later, when Emperor Duanhua discussed this with King Liang, King Liang reminded him: "If it was done before, now what the imperial aunt is doing to beat the courtier's brother, the reason has already been spread!" The royal brother is now finding evidence, whether it is the imperial aunt or others, will they think that this is actually the imperial brother who listened to the advice of the younger brother, but in order to take care of the imperial aunt's face, he made up a piece of evidence? β
Emperor Duanhua groaned, "Then what do you mean? β
"Why don't you take a salary from the bottom of the kettle?" King Liang narrowed his eyes, "Otherwise, the queen mother will be rescued, who will say anything unfavorable to the Su family and King Su again, and spread it, what is the difference between forcing the mother to die again?" β
At the same time, in the courtyard, the bell was so angry that his whole body trembled: "Lu Yicheng, this old thief!!! He clearly wanted to ruin the eldest lady - it's really not a family that doesn't enter the door, this old thief is vicious with his intentions, what is the difference between him and the Pang Zi back then? ! β
