Chapter 735: Exposing it in public, Ziruo argues strongly
I don't know what the mood of everyone here is, anyway, the Son of Heaven on the throne is a little gratified, just one Cailian's testimony is far from enough to convict Concubine Su, but Caiwei as a "witness" all the way from the Streamer Pavilion, you can implement the evidence of Fang Jinpa's crime, and you can lead to another person's testimony from her mouth, so that the whole incident can "come to light", instead of just entangled in the less solid motive for killing, Cai Wei appeared on the stage, in order to push the situation down, Qin Ziruo is still sharp and witty in the end, and it is much better than the queen's nonsense.
"Take the second maid to the temple for questioning." The Son of Heaven simply took the advice.
But listen to the word "slowly".
To stop the order of the Son of Heaven, naturally there is only the Queen Mother.
Since the incident turned from an accident to a man-made one, and then to the princess of Chu because of the resentment of the major suspicion of killing, the empress dowager watched coldly for a long time, and then her heart was very bright, and she finally knew why the death of the eldest prince at the hands of people was so obvious, why the Son of Heaven needed the participation of courtiers, rather than ending in an "accident", this was persecution in a grand place, and still refused to let go of the Weiguo Mansion, and the queen's tears, Qin Ziruo's pretense of justice, all showed that the Qin family was important in this incident, and all this was aimed at only the two mansions of Su and Chu, In the final analysis, it is to make her compromise, oppose the government of the state, and finally be stripped of the power of supervision.
How can the Empress Dowager not be aggrieved? Since the collapse of the first emperor, she has tolerated a lot, and has not interfered in politics strongly, and the absurd behavior of the Son of Heaven is only based on persuading the police, even if she is determined to set things right, she still takes into account the dignity of the emperor, but she has been let down by all her painstaking efforts, and has become the weakness of the Son of Heaven's coercion and coercion.
If you are willing to accept the cooperation this time, then you will lose the initiative, and you can only let the Son of Heaven do anything wrong and lead the country surnamed Yu to fall into turmoil.
In the future, under the nine springs, how to face the ancestors, how to face the son's earnest entrustment before his death.
The Empress Dowager frowned tightly and looked at her grandson - in a high position but still unable to look at the overall situation, already on the throne, she should have paid attention to the foundation of national politics, and considered how to implement and improve the official reform of the first emperor, cultivate new forces to balance the nobles, promote the military reform and make the country and the people safe, he can be good, the only thing in his heart is to fight for power and suppress Zhongliang, even her grandmother, is regarded as a nail in the eye and a thorn in the flesh and hate can not be removed.
was extremely disappointed, it turned out that the queen was not the only one who failed to decide the vision, and the Son of Heaven was really not worried.
"Holy Lord, this matter does not need to be retried, the queen's motive for questioning Princess Chu's murder of the prince is not valid." The Empress Dowager said lightly, still trying to persuade the police for the last time: "From the point of view of the mourning family, it must be this palace maid who has malicious intentions and assassinates the prince and blames others." ”
"Cai Lian is just a palace maid, how can she be so bold? Niangniang, the emperor is your great-grandson, the eldest son of the saint, and the bloodline of the heavenly family, how can you indulge the real murderer and let him be unjust? Niangniang, you obviously protect Concubine Su, and the concubine is not convinced! The queen was the first to be impatient, clenching her fists, and her eyes were really blood-red.
The Queen Mother was also very surprised, and agreed with the queen's opinion for the first time, but the words should be said tactfully and decently: "Queen Mother, what the queen said is good, the eldest prince is the eldest of the saints, but he was strangled by someone and Shen Tang, such a great crime, how can you not investigate the real culprit?" ”
In fact, the words of the two have their own meanings, the queen is weak in the end, only talking about the eldest son, and the queen mother who does not know the queen mother points out the word "eldest son".
The Son of Heaven and Qin Ziruo's hearts sank, and what the Son of Heaven thought of was that the Empress Dowager was afraid that she had already known that the eldest prince was not a descendant, although she had expected it, but what she did not expect was that the Empress Dowager was really determined to defend the Su family.
How can the Son of Heaven still give in? So far, the only way to do this is to tear the skin, in front of the clan and the courtiers, Concubine Su must be put to death, if Yu Feng is not convinced, he will also be convicted of conspiracy, and in front of the historians and courtiers, will the Su and Chu governments dare to go against the grain for this? As long as they take action, they can justifiably suppress it, even if the empress dowager moves out of the edict of the first emperor, but she can't ignore the etiquette law, otherwise it is also a big crime to cover up the usurpation of the country without being subordinate.
It is necessary to make the empress dowager compromise and give up the joint power of the Su and Chu governments to threaten the monarch.
And Qin Ziruo was undoubtedly even more sad and sour, his eyes were like a rain, and he looked straight at the beautiful figure standing side by side with Concubine Su in the hall, if the Empress Dowager knew that the eldest son of the emperor was not a concubine, it would be him who leaked the secret, but he clearly promised to come first, but even such a thing still failed her.
How can you be so ruthless?
Do you know that I am wronged and seek perfection, I confess to the public, so that I am complained by my father and ancestors in the family, all in order to win your little affection, and what I try to avoid is to go toe-to-toe with you, is my true affection so cheap, in exchange for ruthless betrayal and abandonment? But until this time, I can't bear to blame you...... But I won't let go of the Su family, I won't just be defeated, if I can't win your sincerity, then, I have to get you as a person.
It's useless, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I have already taken precautions, even if I know that if I am forced to do this policy in desperation, my heart will be like a knife, because of you, you have failed me.
But since you have chosen this path, I will not let go of the Su family, she must die, the more you defend it, the more jealous and hateful I will be.
Even if I will be resented by you, I can't give up being side by side with you, I finally walked into your life and will never leave.
Ziruo's resentment and sadness that the girl's liver and intestines were broken was responded to this time-
But it comes from the smiling eyes of the beautiful scenery, and the smile is rich.
The eyes of the two touched in the air, but the Son of Heaven had already said in a deep voice: "Imperial grandmother, this matter must be investigated deeply, and the grandson cannot obey his fate." ”
"Good." The Empress Dowager was still tepid: "Since the Holy One has decided to do so, then the mourning family will try it personally, which will inevitably make today's case come to light!" Since the queen believes in the words of the palace maid and thinks that the princess of Chu is resentful, then the dispute in today's streamer pavilion is the fundamental reason for this matter. ”
Without waiting for the will of the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager raised her voice and ordered the eunuch to enter the palace in front of the gate, and let the woman who answered the order lead into the palace.
The emperor did not refute it, and if he wanted to convict Concubine Su, he still needed some circumstantial evidence, and he would be edicted into the trial, and he would have to save all kinds of tossing and turning when he testified.
The Empress Dowager asked the King of Chu and his wife to return to their seats, seeing that the beautiful scenery had never broken her knees, the queen held a suffocating fire in her chest, and was finally reminded by Qin Ziruo's sleeves, so she sneered and pressed - Don't be complacent too early, when the evidence of the crime is conclusive and indefensible, no one can protect you, and I am afraid that there will be no humiliation!
There are also many palace mermaids rushing in, quietly on the bamboo mat brocade mat for the women to sit on under the two rows of main seats in the main hall.
Although it was busy, the empty hall was full in a blink of an eye, but the whole process was almost silent.
The concubines were in the front, and the fate was behind, and everyone tacitly sat down according to the rank, although they were all thinking about today's imminent situation, not to mention the exchange of ears, even the slight sound of the friction and collision of the dress ornaments when sitting down was also controlled very lightly.
As soon as the Empress Dowager opened her mouth again, she asked directly at this time before she quietly entered with the ladies and waited on the side: "The eldest prince has encountered an unforeseen thing, but he has informed Zhang Xuanzhi." ”
The emperor's expression was stiff.
And most people who don't know the inside story can't hide their surprise, why did the eldest prince be killed, why did he have to specifically inform a candidate?
"Imperial Grandmother!" The Son of Heaven couldn't help but stop it, after all, this matter was very embarrassing in public, and the queen was even more charged with the crime of chaos, if he didn't protect it, wouldn't the Qin family be chilled? Most of the people here are Qin clansmen!
"What, isn't the Holy One trying to find out?" The Empress Dowager gave a faint look.
The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows slightly, and it was difficult to hide the manlessness of the dantian.
A simple "yes" word exit, but it has a sonorous meaning.
The Empress Dowager retracted her gaze: "Ah Zhao, how is Zhang Xuanzhi?" ”
"Qi Yu Niangniang, the waiter was shocked to hear the bad news, the pain was unbearable, and he fainted immediately, and then he was awakened by the medical officer's needle, but he said......" Wei Zhao was slightly stunned.
"It's okay to be blunt." The Empress Dowager was in a deep voice.
"Niangniang Rongyu, Zhang Xuanshi's original words are that he is the poisoner of the queen, and His Royal Highness will not accidentally fall into the water."
There was a dead silence in the hall.
Most of the women hung their eyes and subconsciously clenched their fists.
Only the Queen Mother dared to express her shock in public: "What do you say?!" The eldest prince is the queen's concubine, how can the queen cause harm? ”
And the queen was already sitting on wax at this time.
"Queen Mother, don't you think that the queen is too calm today, and I heard that the eldest prince had an accident...... Zhang Xuanzhi was in pain, but the queen paid more attention to her demeanor than usual. The Empress Dowager sneered: "The eldest prince is not from the queen at all!" ”
The queen's choking finally stopped completely, and the main hall was even more deadly.
And Qin Ziruo still looked at the oblique with that resentful gaze.
"Queen, who is the eldest prince, and what is the identity of Zhang Xuanshi, do you dare to say it in public." The Empress Dowager glanced at the mother and daughter of the Qin family, and naturally swept Qin Ziruo's eyes into her eyes, and goosebumps were active along her arm, and the more disgusted her expression became.
Qin Ziruo also seemed to feel the coldness of the Empress Dowager, and came to his senses, seeing his sister trembling her lips and not knowing how to deal with it, and the Son of Heaven also had a dark face, although he knew that his identity was not suitable to interject, but the desire to "win" was too eager, gritted his teeth and went forward, and knelt down: "Niangniang, the people have words, I hope that Niangniang is favorable." ”
Now she simply doesn't even call her a "servant" and becomes a people's girl.
The Empress Dowager sneered twice in her heart, but waved her arm: "Today is a public trial, and you are involved in the Qin family, so you are allowed to refute it." ”
If Qin Ziruo kowtowed, he weighed his words and sentences: "The eldest prince is indeed made by Zhang Xuanzhi, and Zhang Xuanzhi, formerly known as Xiaoyan, is actually a Qing ...... in Qianrao Pavilion."
There was a sound of inhalation in the main hall, and it was difficult for the wives to suppress their shock, and the eldest prince was not a concubine, but he was actually from a clear man...... said that he was a prostitute, but in fact he was a prostitute.
And Qin Ziruo followed up with those words, saying that Xiao Yan's background was extremely pitiful, and because of a coincidence, he got acquainted with today's son, the Son of Heaven pity her for being humble and pitiful, in short, it is extremely whitewashed, a good show of "heroes save beauty".
At that time, the queen mother was diagnosed with a difficult heir, and she was sad, but Xiao Yan was pregnant, but although she was clean and self-conscious, but in the end, she was born in the dust, and could not enter the house openly, and if her identity was known, it was inevitable that her royal highness would be criticized for her improper bloodline, and the queen mother came up with such a method, although it was against the law of etiquette to be chaotic, but it was also to relieve her worries with the saints, and besides, because of the difficulties of her own heirs, it was inevitable to be anxious, and she was looking forward to having a childish son to take her knees...... The eldest prince was born since he was born, and he was taken care of and raised by the queen's mother, and he really regarded it as his own, and he would not murder the eldest prince no matter what. ”
Since the Empress Dowager has announced in public that the eldest prince is not a concubine, Qin Ziruo also knows that this matter cannot be argued - Xiao Yan showed her face in Qianrao Pavilion back then, and it is not difficult to track it down, and since Yu Feng is "betrayed", Jiang Han will definitely not be able to believe it, as long as he testifies that the queen cannot be pregnant, he will be speechless, not to mention that there is an admonition that the prince is opposed to this strange thing whether it is the queen or the prime minister's mansion, how can the world believe that the eldest prince is a concubine?
Mo Ruo simply admitted it, but her words vaguely indicated that the Son of Heaven promised to tie the emperor and queen together, and if the Empress Dowager wanted to be investigated, the Son of Heaven would also be responsible.
In such a situation, my sister's position cannot be lost, and Qin Ziruo wants to force the Son of Heaven to maintain it.
But the Queen Mother couldn't help but shoot the case: "It's too ridiculous! How can the queen allow the son of a dusty woman to be the eldest of the concubines? Even if you can't get pregnant, there were still two side concubines in the Qiandi at the beginning, and there were also innocent concubines! ”
"Queen Mother, although Zhang Xuanzhi was born in the dust, he really never committed to others, and Da Lang is indeed his son's blood." So far, the Son of Heaven has no choice but to protect it.
The Queen Mother choked.
The Empress Dowager's eyes are even colder - since you are sure that Da Lang is your blood and bones, you even beat the killer! The heart is so ruthless, and the tiger and wolf can't be compared.
is still like this for the heirs, not to mention the already disgusted queen, the Son of Heaven came forward to guarantee at this time, it is nothing more than because Qin Ziruo is secretly forced in the back and is unwilling to cut off the arm of the Qin family.
Qin Ziruo, really good ability.
"To get back to the point, the reason why the mourning family announced this matter in public is to prove that the queen's questioning of Princess Chu is nonsense, because Princess Chu learned that Da Lang was not a concubine early on, how could she be angry with Da Lang because of her grudge against the queen and kill him to vent her anger?"
Of course, these words caused a breath again, and the women of all their lives knew that such a formation turned out to be the real culprit of the queen who had convicted Princess Chu of killing the prince.
