Two-four-one, the emperor is wrong
The people around her gradually left her one by one, and now she is the only one left, and she lives alone in the world.
All of a sudden, she felt very lonely, and that feeling of loneliness came from the heart, and that feeling made her feel terrible for a while.
She didn't know how to describe this loneliness, but it was a kind of desolate misery that had nowhere to speak, a kind of loneliness that no one could understand.
Jian Huaizhen sat there in a daze, and said to her slowly: "Eldest Princess, since the incident has happened, don't take it too seriously, don't cry yourself." ”
Zero has been following Jian Huaizhen for so long, how he doesn't know her thoughts, and how he doesn't know what she is thinking.
So when she saw Jian Huaizhen's expression, she immediately understood the kind of suffering in her mind.
Jian Huaizhen raised his eyes and looked at Scatter, and suddenly said, "Scatter, what do you think this palace should do now?" ”
"How?" After hearing this question, her eyebrows couldn't help but knot.
Because she knew that no matter what Jian Huaizhen did, it would be a difficult problem for her.
Because Li Xian died like this, if Zhu Jianshen was let go like this, then Zhu Jianshen would definitely not repent in the future, and maybe it would get worse.
Today he may kill Li Xian, tomorrow he may kill more loyal ministers and good generals for his own selfish desires, and Jian Huaizhen is still alive in the world.
If one day Jian Huaizhen is too old and no longer in this world, who will be able to restrain Zhu Jianshen at that time.
So when he thought of this, Jian Huaizhen felt a splitting headache.
And Zero is the closest person to Jian Huaizhen, and she doesn't know what Jian Huaizhen thinks.
So she saw Jian Huaizhen become so sad, but she didn't know how to answer, and she couldn't help but blame herself deeply.
Jian Huaizhen slowly raised his finger, glanced at her, and said, "Zero, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”
Ling Luo finally shook his head slowly and said, "Princess, I always think that if you don't settle this matter with the emperor, what can you do." Although you have a golden jade staff in your hand, the golden jade staff can beat the emperor and the traitorous ministers, but this golden jade staff cannot abolish the emperor. Even if the emperor does something wrong, what can you do with the emperor, princess? ”
Jian Huaizhen's eyes were as cold as frost, she looked at Scatter and finally shook her head slowly, she said, "No, Scatter, you don't know, you really don't know." In fact, if the palace wants to abolish the emperor, it is really a matter of the same thing. ”
"Ah, why did the eldest princess say that? Could it be that the golden jade scepter can still abolish the emperor? Zero couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Jian Huaizhen shook his head slowly, and said: "The golden jade scepter is naturally not, but there are other things that can, I'm afraid you don't know, there is an emperor's edict in the hands of this palace." ”
"Edict, what is that? Could it be—" Zero looked at Jian Huaizhen in surprise.
Of course, she knew what the edict was, and the edict was made by the emperor.
But now that the emperor has been canonized, why does Jian Huaizhen still have the so-called edict in his hands?
Jian Huaizhen knew that she was surprised, so he smiled and said: "This edict was actually given to the palace a few months before the emperor's death, and it is clearly written on this edict that if the emperor does something unwise or rebellious one day, the palace has the right to abolish the emperor." It's just that the emperor has always been the blood and blood of my Ming Dynasty, and he is the descendant of my Zhu family, how could this palace abolish the emperor so easily. So no matter how wrong the emperor has been, the palace has covered it up for him, and the palace has never taken out this edict. The palace hopes that the emperor can be a good emperor after reform, but now the emperor is too disappointed in the palace, but it is a pity that Lord Li has done his best for the Ming Dynasty in his life, but he didn't expect to end up with a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey. ”
When Jian Huaizhen said this, her eyebrows furrowed again, and her eyebrows were frowning deeply.
Looking at her and seeing a few hairs on her head, she suddenly couldn't help but feel emotional, and before she knew it, Jian Huaizhen was really old.
When she first met Jian Huaizhen, she felt that Jian Huaizhen was omnipotent, she could do anything, there seemed to be endless energy in her body, and there was nothing big in the world in her eyes.
But now Scatter suddenly felt that it was not like that, and Scatter deeply felt Jian Huaizhen's helplessness.
She felt that Jian Huaizhen was not as strong as she imagined, especially when the people around her left her one by one.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said softly to Jian Huaizhen: "Eldest Princess, since you have an edict in your hand, if you want to abolish the emperor, it is not impossible. ”
Jian Huaizhen waved his hand, and finally said to Ling Luo: "Bengong's brain is very messy now, you let Bengong think about it, Bengong should think carefully about what to do this time." In short, this palace will not let Master Li Xian and Lord Li die in vain, after all, Lord Li is the hero of my Ming Dynasty. If he is allowed to die in vain like this, this palace is really sorry for him. ”
Jian Huaizhen said, and tears couldn't help but flow down his eyes.
Zero knew that she couldn't help anything now, and that being here would make Jian Huaizhen feel very uncomfortable, so she decided not to say anything.
She just nodded slowly and said, "Princess, then think about it carefully, the slave and maid retreat first." If the eldest princess has any instructions, even if she is called a slave maid, the slave and maid will go to talk to the lady concubine now, and wait in the Wan'an Palace to accompany the eldest princess in the next few days. ”
Jian Huaizhen was noncommittal, and retreated gently.
After retreating, she went to Tang Jingran to tell Tang Jingran for leave without mentioning it.
Jian Huaizhen's heart fluctuated at this moment, it was true that she had an edict in her hand, and that edict was indeed entrusted to her a few months before the death of the emperor.
Because the emperor was afraid that Zhu Jianshen would do something rebellious after he ascended the throne, he first entrusted this edict to Jian Huaizhen, as long as he had the edict to facilitate Jian Huaizhen to do things in the future.
But Jian Huaizhen has not shown this edict all along, because she still has a deep affection for Zhu Jianshen in her heart.
If not, she would have taken out the edict when Zhu Jianshen killed innocents indiscriminately last time.
Jian Huaizhen went to turn over the edict, and then sat quietly at the table.
She held the edict with both hands, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this moment, Jian Huaizhen was in a disordered mood, but there was one person who was even more disordered than her, and that person was Zhu Jianshen.
After Zhu Jianshen returned to the Qianqing Palace, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had made a big disaster this time, and he felt that Jian Huaizhen's character would not let him go so easily.
If Jian Huaizhen let him go so easily, then she would not be the eldest princess of Emperor Jian Huaizhen he knew, so he was very worried at this time.
He didn't know what to do.
Gu Leng Yi bowed forward, brought a bowl of ginseng tea to him, and said, "Your Majesty, don't think about it too much, let's drink ginseng tea to warm up your body first." ”
Zhu Jian glanced at him, his eyes showed a very cruel look, and he said viciously to Gu Lengyi: "Gu Lengyi, do you say that I really did something wrong in this matter?" Shouldn't I have forced Li Xian to death? But how could I have known that he would commit suicide, and this Li Xian was too stubborn. In fact, if this matter is to be held accountable in the final analysis, I always feel that Liang Fang is still responsible. If Liang Fang hadn't advised me to build the golden body of Taishang Laojun and build an alchemy furnace, this would not have happened. ”
Gu Leng knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said with sincere fear: "Your Majesty, what you said is very reasonable, in fact, the minister also thinks so in his heart." If it weren't for Liang Fang's obstruction, why would the emperor be in such a dilemma today, and the culprit of this matter should be Liang Fang. If the emperor had to give an explanation to the courtiers and the eldest princess, then the old slave felt that the emperor only needed to push Liang Fang out. ”
Gu Lengyi said to Zhu Jianshen.
Zhu Jianshen glanced at Gu Lengyi with a little hesitation, but finally shook his head slowly and said, "Gu Lengyi, don't you have a lot of ideas on weekdays, why have you suddenly become so stupid now?" Do you think that the eldest princess and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world are so easy to fool? Not to mention anything else, just an imperial princess, how can a mere Liang Fang calm the anger in her heart. If Liang Fang can calm the anger in her chest, why should I bother. Li Xian has made contributions to our dynasty, otherwise how could the eldest princess be so important to him. ”
As he spoke, he was a little angry.
In fact, Gu Lengyi is a very smart person, how he didn't know that it was useless to kill a Liang Fang alone, but he really didn't know what else to say besides saying this.
Because he knew that no matter what, Zhu Jianshen would always have to find a way to give Jian Huaizhen an explanation.
But if he wants to give Jian Huaizhen an explanation, just one Liang Fang is indeed not enough, does Gu Leng want to persuade him to go and apologize to Jian Huaizhen for his own shame?
This is impossible, so Gu Lengyi can only pretend to be confused and deliberately say this there.
And at this moment, Zhu Jianshen was completely angry, he didn't think about it so much at all, so when he heard Gu Lengyi say this, he only thought that Gu Lengyi's idea was not thoughtful, and he didn't suspect anything else.
This is the power of Gu Lengyi, and it is also the reason why Gu Lengyi can be in the palace for so long and prosper.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do now? No matter what you do, the old slave will definitely do his best to cooperate with the emperor and help the emperor, as long as you can help the emperor, this is the greatest luck of the old slave. Gu Leng said on the side.
He didn't understand the truth that the tree fell and Sun San fell, but now no one can say that Zhu Jianshen will definitely fall, and Jian Huaizhen has not made any decisions, so Zhu Jianshen will not necessarily get arbitration, everything depends on what Jian Huaizhen thinks.
And even though Jian Huaizhen had a golden jade staff in his hand, so what.
Her golden jade staff can indeed beat the unconscious king and the traitorous minister, can she really beat Zhu Jianshen to death.
With Gu Lengyi's understanding of Jian Huaizhen, he felt that Jian Huaizhen would not do such a thing.
And as long as Zhu Jianshen is not beaten to death by Jian Huaizhen, then Zhu Jianshen's throne will be preserved.
Now that Gu Lengyi had already bet on Zhu Jianshen's body, he had no room to retreat.
If he wants to retreat, then in the end it must be himself who is unlucky, he has to find someone to climb again, and it may not be so easy to bet on a treasure again.
So now is the perfect time for him to show his loyalty.
"Alright, Grandpa Gu. I also know that you are faithful to me, but what about your loyalty to me? You can't really solve the problem for me. I don't know how to do it now, and I think maybe there's only one person who can help me now. ”
With that, he was going to go outside.
"Your Majesty, who are you going to see?"
"I want to see the Empress Dowager Qian, and the Empress Dowager Qian and the eldest princess have always had a good relationship. If Empress Dowager Qian is willing to intercede for me in front of the eldest princess, maybe the eldest princess can let me go. ”
Gu Lengyi was very unimpressed.
Empress Dowager Qian is indeed a good relationship with Jian Huaizhen, but on the one hand, Empress Dowager Qian is a very knowledgeable and reasonable queen, Li Xian's death must have been known to her, and she must have been very dissatisfied with Zhu Jianshen.
Because Li Xian was a loyal minister of the previous dynasty, Empress Dowager Qian was single-minded to the first emperor.
On the other hand, this incident is indeed Zhu Jianshen's outrageous mistake, with the virtuous and virtuous personality of Empress Dowager Qian, she may not be able to shield Zhu Jianshen.
Even if she is willing to protect Zhu Jianshen, then if she pleads for him in front of Jian Huaizhen, then Jian Huaizhen may not be able to hear the words of Empress Dowager Qian.
Because although Empress Dowager Qian has a virtuous name, as long as Jian Huaizhen is concerned, as long as her determination is concerned, it can rarely be changed.
If it was so easily changed by someone in a few words, then this matter would not have had such a big impact on Jian Huaizhen.
Although Gu Lengyi thought so in his heart, he knew that now was not the time to pour cold water on Zhu Jianshen.
If he poured cold water on Zhu Jianshen now, with Zhu Jianshen's character, he would definitely not let himself go so easily.
So he didn't think about it, so he said to Zhu Jianshen: "The emperor has a good idea, and now we have to go and ask the Queen Mother Qian first." After all, Empress Dowager Qian and the eldest princess have a good relationship, and with the friendship between the Empress Dowager Qian and the eldest princess, maybe the Empress Dowager Qian is willing to intercede in front of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess will not be so angry. And then the emperor doesn't have to worry about anything, as for what others like to say, just say it, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military is not to obey the emperor's orders, and the people of the world are just talking about it for a while, and when the matter is over, there will be nothing. Didn't they also talk about it when Yu Qian died, but it didn't take long for people to forget about it. ”
Gu Lengyi's words were heard in Zhu Jianshen's ears, and he felt that what he said was very reasonable, so he nodded again and again and said, "Okay, let's do this." ”
After Zhu Jianshen made up his mind to beg the Empress Dowager Qian, he hurried to the Empress Dowager Qian's palace with Gu Lengyi.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Qian is kneeling in front of the gods and Buddhas and praying to the gods and Buddhas.
Because the news of Li Xian's death had reached her ears, she couldn't help after hearing about it.
If Li Xian died of illness, then she might feel better, but in fact it was not the case, and Li Xian was provoked to death by the emperor.
As soon as she thought of this, she felt inexplicable grief in her heart.
Because although Zhu Jianshen is not the biological son of the Empress Dowager Qian, the Empress Dowager Qian is still quite good to Zhu Jianshen, and the Empress Dowager Qian is like her own flesh and blood when she is Zhu Jianshen.
Therefore, after Zhu Jianshen became the emperor, he was also very close to her and did not treat her lightly.
So this made Empress Dowager Qian always grateful to Zhu Jianshen and loved Zhu Jianshen even more.
But she didn't expect Zhu Jianshen to do such a ridiculous thing last time, and this time he did this kind of thing, since he was angry with Li Xian.
And Li Xian crashed to death in the court, what kind of feeling did the people of the world feel in their hearts when they heard it, and how should this block the mouths of the people in the world.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Qian felt a pain like a pinprick in her heart, and she didn't know what to do, so she knelt down in front of the gods and Buddhas to ask for forgiveness, hoping that the gods and Buddhas could forgive Zhu Jianshen, so that even if he was no longer in this world one day, he would not have to suffer from the reincarnation.
When Empress Dowager Qian thought of this, she felt very sad and indignant in her heart.
If one day she saw the former emperor after the death of the Empress Dowager Qian, how should she explain to the first emperor, how should she tell the first emperor about Zhu Jianshen's transformation, and how should she explain this kind of thing to the first emperor, is the first emperor willing to forgive her?
The emperor will definitely blame her for not teaching Zhu Jianshen well.
So as soon as she thought of this, she felt very sorry for the emperor in her heart, and she felt sorry for the royal family, and the burden in her heart became inexplicably heavier.
So Empress Dowager Qian couldn't think of how to solve this problem, so she had to pray silently there alone, hoping that the gods and Buddhas could help her.
Although she may know in her heart that it is impossible for the gods and Buddhas to help people that day, but so what, at least she can achieve a balance in her heart.
And at this time, the little eunuch came to tell her, telling her that Zhu Jianshen was here, and Zhu Jianshen came to ask to see her.
She was slightly stunned after hearing the news that Zhu Jianshen came to ask for a meeting, and then the whole person was stunned there, she really didn't know what to do, she didn't know whether she should go to see Zhu Jianshen.
She felt that if she didn't see Zhu Jianshen, then Zhu Jianshen would be very uncomfortable.
But if she goes to see Zhu Jianshen, then how can she be worthy of Li Xian.
So this time she is undoubtedly facing a dilemma between love and righteousness.
When she was in a daze there, her personal maid Baguio stepped forward and said softly: "Queen Mother, are you willing to see the emperor?" The emperor is waiting outside now. ”
Empress Dowager Qian gently twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said with some hesitation: "I ......"
