Chapter 40: The Empress Under House Arrest
The King of Heyang and the Great Prince sighed in unison, they knew how the Lord of Jiayi County was so arrogant and unscrupulous, but they were not qualified to say that person.
The eldest prince sighed and said: "Father is determined to deal with Jiayi this time, and maybe he wants to deal with Heyang Wangfu through Jiayi." Uncle be careful. β
King Heyang said: "Don't worry, as long as my military power is in hand, the emperor will not dare to go too far with the Heyang Palace." It's just Jiayi, this girl......"
The eldest prince said: "Uncle, you have to give it up." My cousin was angry this time. β
King Heyang sighed, he didn't answer the words of the eldest prince, in his selfish heart, he still wanted to keep his daughter. Prince Heyang has fewer heirs than others, only two sons and one daughter, and the sons are all born to concubines, and only one is the lord of Jiayi. Therefore, the king of Heyang is very fond of this daughter, and he is also the lord of Jiayi County who was taken to the palace by the queen to raise him since he was a child, and the king and his wife often miss their daughter, coupled with the guilt of their daughter, their feelings for the lord of Jiayi have not decreased but increased. Now that his daughter is suffering, King Heyang is heartbroken, but he has never thought of giving up this daughter.
The eldest prince did not know what King Heyang thought, and thought that King Heyang accepted his opinion. To be honest, the eldest prince actually didn't like the cousin of the county lord Jiayi, if it weren't for the fact that the queen liked this cousin, he wouldn't want to put up with this stupid woman at all. It's obviously his cousin, but he likes the second guy, and he doesn't know if he has revealed the secrets of his side to the second child. It's best to trample her to death this time, lest she appear in front of her eyes again and make herself upset to watch.
The eldest prince left the palace under the pretext of discussing matters with the king of Heyang, and he didn't want to go into the harem to see the queen now. The queen must have asked him to get that stupid woman out. Did he say yes or no?
The queen did not wait for the eldest prince, so she went directly to the emperor. Over the years, with the support of the family, the queen has become accustomed to being the king and hegemonic in the harem, and she didn't even give the emperor face, so she broke into the imperial study directly, and said: "Your Majesty, Jiayi is the niece of the concubine, can you put Jiayi on the face of the concubine?" β
"Your face?" As soon as the emperor heard this, anger came up, "Do you have a big face? It's bigger than the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military? β
The queen said with a dark face: "The concubine is the queen, isn't it as good as the courtier?" And what is Jiayi's young age hindering the emperor? Why is the emperor so cruel to her? β
The emperor laughed angrily: "Okay, what a queen!" No wonder Jiayi is so arrogant, she learned from you. You don't take me in your eyes, and she doesn't take me in your eyes. You women in Heyang Mansion are all virtuous. β
The queen snorted: "Without me, a woman from the Heyang Palace, how could the emperor ascend to the throne?" β
"You've been talking about this for more than 20 years, and you haven't been annoyed by it, and I'm tired of listening to it. Do you think that I can only rely on your little prince of Heyang Palace? The Emperor looked at the Empress with cold eyes, "I didn't plan to deal with you so early, but you can't wait to jump out of your own way, I'm really sorry if I don't deal with you." Someoneβ"
The guards outside the door walked in, and the emperor ordered: "Please return to the palace, without my order, the queen cannot leave the Fengyi Palace, and the rest of the people cannot enter the Fengyi Palace." β
When the queen heard this, she was furious: "You want to put me under house arrest? How dare you? β
"I'm the emperor, why don't you dare?"
"My brother will never let you do this to me." The queen said angrily.
The emperor smiled: "King Heyang himself will be difficult to protect, how can he still protect you?" Take! β
"Get out of the way of Hongu!" The queen angrily reprimanded the guards and eunuchs, but these guards and eunuchs were all henchmen of the emperor, and they didn't care about her identity as the queen at all.
The queen was shocked and angry, and scolded along the way, and the scolding spread throughout the palace, making many concubines in the harem laugh when they heard it. The queen is proud of her noble status, and she is very arrogant in the palace, suppressing various concubines, making her popularity in the palace very poor. Hearing that the queen was forcibly confined by the emperor, the concubines only felt very happy, and they all ate an extra bowl of rice.
Concubine Zhao: "This plate of roast chicken is well done, let the cook make one more and send it to the second prince." β
The second prince, who received the roast chicken from the concubine, laughed and happily ate the whole roast chicken.
The third prince, Prince Kang, also received a dish from his mother, but it was not chicken, but a plate of fish. The third prince smiled and ate the whole plate of fish, and then went to the study to read and practice calligraphy, as if nothing had happened.
Compared with these two palaces, the Heyang Palaces are fried, and both the eldest prince and the king of Heyang are stunned by the news in the palace.
"The father actually put the queen mother under house arrest?" The eldest prince didn't want to believe the news, but the news was delivered by the queen's henchmen in person, so he couldn't believe it, "Even if the queen mother helps Jiayi intercede, the father shouldn't put the queen mother under house arrest, right?" Mama Xu, what did the queen mother say to her father to make her father so angry? β
Mama Xu said: "The old slave didn't enter the study, but when he heard that Niangniang seemed to quarrel with the emperor, the emperor was angry, and then he asked Niangniang to be taken away and locked up." β
King Heyang frowned: "The emperor is so angry that he doesn't even give face to our Heyang Palace." β
The eldest prince's heart jumped, and a bad premonition rose: "Uncle, will my father have a way to deal with the Heyang Palace?" Want to take the opportunity to eradicate the Heyang Palace? β
"Impossible." King Heyang shook his head and denied, "The military power is in my hands, and the emperor doesn't dare to tear his face with the Heyang Palace." β
The eldest prince: "But my father has put the queen mother under house arrest, and he also arrested my cousin in the criminal department, so tough, isn't it a tear with the Heyang Palace?" β
Heyang Wangfu's brows furrowed even deeper: "Could it be that the emperor has other things to rely on?" β
The eldest prince jumped: "The Jingyuan Marquis Mansion is the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion." Lan Xiaoyong returned from this expedition and brought a lot of soldiers to the northwest camp on the outskirts of the city, and my father must have wanted to use the people of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion to kill us by surprise. β
"No wonder...... I said, how could the emperor think of giving marriage to Jiayi and Lan Xiaoqin. It turned out that the marriage was fake, and it was real that we dug a trap and waited for Jiayi and us to jump down. King Heyang suddenly said, "We've been fooled." β
"If my cousin hadn't been so reckless, maybe we wouldn't have fallen into our father's trap." The eldest prince now hates the county lord of Jiayi even more, and his tone is full of complaints.
King Heyang smiled bitterly, although he loved his daughter very much, he had to agree with the words of the eldest prince at this time. The emperor's pit was specially dug for the Jiayi County Lord to jump, and the Jiayi County Lord was used as a breakthrough to deal with the Heyang Palace.
