The ministers were in an uproar, and of course there were those who cried out for the queen, and the Son of Heaven immediately asked the Jingping nun to be brought to the spot, and she told the truth of the year, and made a decision: "This case has been investigated by me personally, and there is no doubt about it." The person who shouted the grievance was speechless, and then pleaded for the queen, imploring the Son of Heaven to see that the queen gave birth to the prince and was the queen of the Yuan, and dealt with it lightly.

Of course, the Four Princes' Party was happy to see such a situation, so some officials admonished them with great force, saying that the queen was immoral in killing the concubines out of jealousy, not to mention that in order to conceal the crime, she wanted to assassinate the prince, and she had already lost the virtue of ruling the harem, and even damaged the crime of diplomatic relations with Xiliang, which affected the national government, and was deposed and imprisoned.

In the end, the queen is the queen of the Yuan, according to the law of etiquette, the crime of rebellion is generally not executed, and the abolition of the throne is already an extremely serious disposition.

The courtiers of the two parties were still arguing, but the Son of Heaven took care of himself, leaving behind the stunned crowd of people.

Before the edict was issued, the queen, who was forbidden to live in Kunren Palace to "recuperate", finally tried her best to learn about this thunderbolt on a sunny day.

In fact, since June, the queen has not waited for a long time to come to the news about the soul of the three princes Jianchang, it has been expected that things will change, and she has slipped into a desperate situation, if the three princes do not become a corpse, even if the assassination of the Kong family is not revealed, when the three princes return to Kyoto, the crown prince's position is also difficult to protect, and the Kong family will inevitably be wiped out.

Although the prince was able to enter and leave the Kunren Palace, he did not know about the Jianchang incident, until he got the news from Jianchang and was panicked and was about to tell the queen, but the Son of Heaven edicted him to the Qianming Palace, and strictly warned him not to disturb the queen's "recuperation" in Kunren Palace.

He still thought that as long as he drew a clear line with the Kong family, only the order of the Son of Heaven was Cong, and the storage position could still be kept, and he didn't know anything about the Wusha case, even the assassination of the three princes and the spread of those rumors, he didn't really intervene, and the Kong family would definitely not confess him.

Even if the queen was convicted by the Son of Heaven during the court discussion, the prince did not dare to speak, and watched in a daze as the henchmen of the foreign family fought with the party of the four princes.

In fact, the matter has come to this point, and the prince Mingzhe's approach to protecting himself is indeed the only choice.

And after a few months, the queen finally bought off a eunuch who guarded her, and she didn't dare to do other big things, and the accident that happened outside the leak of a few words would still make some eunuchs who were greedy for money and silver take risks, but this eunuch has limited ability, of course, he is not a cronie of the Son of Heaven, and the news from the inquiry is limited, and most of them are facts, such as Kong Zhishang was beheaded in June, and the assassination of the three princes was revealed, and it was not until July that the envoys of Xiliang arrived in Beijing, and the emperor convicted the queen at the court meeting, and Kunren Palace learned of the thunderbolt on a sunny day.

The queen can no longer take care of the life and death of the three princes, and she knows that she has been defeated, the Kong family cannot keep it, and it is difficult to protect the throne, so she can only struggle to keep the prince's storage position.

Even if she dies in the cold palace in the future, there is still a glimmer of hope, as long as the crown prince ascends the throne!

As long as the prince ascends the throne and threatens to wage war, he will be able to force the king of Xiliang to return the evil seed of Concubine Wan, and the prince will rehabilitate her, and the posthumous seal will be mourned after death, and the tablet can still enter the ancestral hall, and the evil seed will also be divided by the five horses, and the hatred of the Confucian family will be repaid.

The queen was on the verge of collapse at this time, and all she wanted was to benefit, how could she measure it rationally, with the ability of the prince, even if she inherited the unification, she would be controlled by the ministers, and the Confucian family had been wiped out, and which minister would remember the queen's grievances, give up diplomatic relations with neighboring countries, and force the three princes to return to China to receive their deaths.

But it is better for a person on the verge of despair to have a glimmer of hope than to die in the end.

So on this day, the Son of Heaven ignored the dispute between the two parties outside the Taihe Gate, and soon after returning to the Qianming Palace, he had to report to the Empress Kunren Palace to ask to see the Holy Driver, and threatened that if the Son of Heaven did not see him, he would burn the palace ban.

"Holy Grace, according to the villain's hear, the queen mother is holding a white candle at this time and closing the door of the temple...... said that if you can't wait for the edict after two moments, the palace will be burned and self-destruction. Father-in-law Zhan wiped his cold sweat and reported that his knees were weak for a while.

The Son of Heaven smiled coldly, turned around, and went to Kunren Palace without saying a word.

This world's supreme husband and wife have also come to the point of breaking off their love.

With the opening and closing of the long-closed palace door, a group of frightened palace maids and eunuchs knelt all over the ground, only Zhan Gonggong followed the steps of the Son of Heaven to the front of the main hall, panting and pulling his throat to report "the Holy Lord", the palace door opened, and the woman who opened the temple door with her own hands wore a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, wearing a dark blue five-color Zhai bird robe, Zhu Jinbi hung a large belt with jade leather, and the dark blue Zhu Bian Zhai pattern covered the knees, which was actually the full dress of the queen of the middle palace.

The curtains in the main hall are heavy, blocking the scorching skylight, and dozens of jade candles are burning around the vermilion veil, and that corner is particularly brilliant.

The emperor and queen met with eyes, the same cold to the bone, the kindness and righteousness over the years had been exhausted, and what was revealed was the long-standing coldness and resentment.

As the Son of Heaven stepped in, he raised his hand, and Gonggong Zhan stepped forward to close the door of the palace and repelled the palace people who were kneeling at the bottom of the steps.

The Son of Heaven strode to the throne of the main hall, turned around and sat down: "What else do you have to say?" ”

The queen smiled softly, there was no sadness between her eyebrows, only a cold and resentful expression: "The concubine wants to listen to the saint to punish the crime, and she must listen to the saint himself to add the crime in vain, so that she can be regarded as dead." ”

"In vain?" The Son of Heaven chuckled: "Queen, do you still feel that you have been wronged?" ”

"Shouldn't the concubine feel wronged?" Jin Yunzhu decorated with a green sword lightly stepped forward, the queen raised her chin slightly, and the years had left a scar on the corner of her lips, making the smile a little cold: "The concubine killed Concubine Wan, so what?" The concubine is the wife, she is the concubine, but the saint wants to spoil the concubine and kill the wife, should the concubine sit and wait to be killed, shouldn't the concubine protect herself? ”

"Shut up!" The Son of Heaven drank solemnly, his eyebrows beating rapidly: "Concubine Wan has never been ambitious, and she has always been deferential to you, and she has not offended you in the slightest, and you, on the surface, call her sister and sister, and you are intimate, but in fact, you have long been jealous and hateful, it is clear that you have a bad heart, and you dare to argue!" ”

The queen shook her shoulders and laughed, and the sarcasm was revealed from her eyes unobstructed: "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, and the saint should know the meaning of these words...... Even if Concubine Wan has no ambition, but she monopolizes the favor of the saint, this is a capital crime, the saint, if it is not for the concubine to strike first, when the bird is exhausted, how can the saint allow the concubine to occupy the position of the main palace? The only thing that the concubine regrets is that she didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots at the beginning, and the saint, you ask yourself, have you ever moved the idea of deposing the concubine and making the Wan clan dominate the harem. ”

The Son of Heaven clenched his iron fists: "It's nonsense, I have never thought of violating the kindness of husband and wife. ”

The queen laughed on her back, and tears gradually appeared in the corners of her eyes: "Holy Lord, up to now, you are still so hypocritical, dare to ask the Holy Lord, how can you sit on the sin of the concubine just based on that kind of empty accusation?" Saint, you have already found out the truth, or the first emperor and the queen mother have already had insights, but why don't you say anything? Because your position was unstable at that time, King Kang's mother was born in the Jin family, in order to use the power of the Confucian family to restrain the Jin Party, you must hold it silent, your love for the Wan family is nothing more than that, the so-called deep love is not comparable to the splendid country and supreme power. ”

"Even if the Holy Lord inherits the unification, seeing that the Jin and Qin parties are becoming more and more domineering, in order to check and balance, they still have to use the Confucian family."

"Until everything is used to the fullest, the Jin rebellion is removed, and the Weiguo Mansion has the power of the nobles, which is enough to balance the Qin Party, and when the official system reform cultivates new forces, the power of the noble family will be weakened, and the Confucian family will no longer be needed in the saints."

"Don't you dare to admit that you were born early with the heart of easy storage, the person you want has always been the son of the Wan family, Yu Haoxi has been idle in those years, sending love to the wind and moon, and deceiving me so much that I have no defense against him, but the saint has never given up handing over the country to him to inherit, accompanying the evil seed to act together, and also plans to blind the concubine, let him marry the Weiguo Mansion, and rely on this door."

"The concubine has been recuperating in the palace for the past few months, tossing and turning, but she has figured out a lot of things."

"Holy Lord, shouldn't the concubines feel wronged?"

The queen's repeated questioning did not arouse the anger of the Son of Heaven, but the clenched fist was released and gently clenched to the handle.

"Queen, I will give you a clear word today, indeed, I was born with the heart of easy storage, and since I gave birth to this heart, I do intend to make San Lang the prince."

The queen got the answer she wanted, but she was not satisfied, but her eyes were bloody, and she was ruthless: "The Holy One finally admits that he is ruthless and unjust." ”

"I am ruthless and unrighteous, but I am only for Concubine Wan, and for you, I really can't talk about these four words." The Son of Heaven's eyebrows moved lightly: "If you hadn't assassinated Concubine Wan, I wouldn't have been ashamed of San Lang, and the reason why I want to abolish the eldest is also because you have ill intentions, Queen, you deliberately indulge San Lang, and want to raise him into a person who is greedy for pleasure and does nothing, and is intended to guard against the concubine's ability to be too obvious, it is said that I can still understand, but you intend to cultivate the prince into a cowardly personality who is only unassertive, what are you trying to do?" ”

The queen's face finally showed a pale color, and her steps subconsciously retreated slightly.

The Son of Heaven stood up and pressed step by step: "What you want is nothing more than to wait for the prince to succeed to the throne in the future, to be easily controlled by the Confucian family and you, to control the throne and help your relatives to control the government, so that the power of the Confucian family will dominate the world, you can do whatever you want, your little thoughts, I have always seen in my eyes, how can I let you succeed?" You're right, I've been planning, and from the very beginning, I was going to destroy the Kong family, and you! When I understand your ambition, I will have murderous intent, and I will never let you live longer than me, you must die before me. ”

"Queen, the crown prince is your own child, you are for the family's selfish interests, and you can only use him, regard him as a puppet, and his intentions are vicious and sinister, what face does I have to pay you kindness, and what face does I feel wronged? The prince's current situation is indispensable to the 'hard work' of you, your biological mother. The Son of Heaven doesn't seem to want to talk nonsense anymore, and with a slight flick of his sleeves, he is about to leave.

"It's a pity that the saint, it's a pity that the son you have high hopes for is also overwhelmed." The queen suddenly exhausted herself: "He is so reckless, that is, to give up the storage position, even if the saint belongs to him, he is no longer qualified to seize the prince, the saint, although the prince is from the concubine, but also your eldest son, the concubine is willing to die, but the prince is not guilty, if the saint abolishes the reserve, it will inevitably lead to the sons to fight, does the saint want to repeat the mistake of Jiao Yue's rebellion!" ”

The Son of Heaven's pace stagnated slightly, and looked back coldly: "This should no longer be your concern, Queen, I have decided to destroy the Confucian family, and you, abolished and confined to the cold palace, you are ready to 'live and die together' with me." ”

The queen straightened her shoulders and watched the Son of Heaven brush her sleeves away, and while tears were falling, a smile stretched at the corner of her lips.

So what, the evil species of the Wan family has been far away from Xiliang, and he does not want to return to Dalong in this life, since the Son of Heaven allows it, he will never posthumously crown the Wan family as the queen, and the son-in-law of the king of a country stays far away in other countries, and the etiquette can not be justified, and in order to avoid civil strife, the Son of Heaven has to be cautious in the matter of Yi Chu.

The queen muttered to herself: "It's definitely not that the palace has desires, didn't the queen mother also acquiesce to the prince's weakness and inaction?" Holy Lord, you are not a loving father, not a good match, please be a filial son...... Wan's family, although the palace was defeated, but you are not a winner, you first lost to the power of the country, and then lost to your own son, your evil seed, in the end it was my son who won the ninety-five, and the palace lost to the saint, but won your mother and son. ”

So the queen strode out of the main hall with her head held high, and condescendingly instructed the eunuch: "Go to Ci'an Palace, and ask to see the Queen Mother in this palace." ”

She was confident that the Queen Mother would not refuse to see her.
