Chapter 316: Execution
A smile flashed in Lord Lin's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty's intention is to ask your Excellency to write a letter and write a letter. However, the words of the adults alone are bound to be weak, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to make up his mind after seeing it, so it is better to hint to the ministers, everyone agrees and writes the same chapter? Brother Qi, I'll go with you! ”
Lord Qi was grateful, and said again and again: "Thank you, thank you, Lord Lin!" ”
"Between you and me, do you still need to say this?" Master Lin whispered and shook his head, and leaned in front of him: "When the matter is over, you have to invite me to drink!" ”
"It's a deal!" Lord Qi is worried that this excerpt is not easy to write, and Lord Lin is a university scholar with rich knowledge, which is the best ghostwriter.
Thinking of this, Lord Qi hurriedly held Lord Lin's hand: "My lord, how to write this excerpt and what to write, you must have an idea, right?" ”
"What's so hard about that!" Master Lin smiled and said, "Later, I'll have someone send you a sample of the excerpt." ”
Lord Qi was overjoyed, and then left.
Later, Lord Lin was really trustworthy, and transcribed a copy of the written excerpt and asked the family to bring it to Lord Qi. Lord Qi got a savior, and he wrote a chapter that night, from the fall of the stars since ancient times, to the consequences of the heavens' warnings, from the lessons of the past, to the things of this world, how to be alarmist, how to come, sprinkled with more than a thousand words. After finishing writing, Lord Qi felt very satisfied, and his gratitude to Lord Lin became stronger and stronger, so he specially brought a bottle of drunken incense to Lin's house, and asked Lord Lin not to get drunk and not return.
The next day, it was really the ministers who played the chapter together, and everyone said the same, especially Lord Qi, the arguments were fully organized, and Emperor Wu sighed again and again when he saw it, and praised it in the court.
In this way, it has become inevitable to abolish the queen and go to the king, and Emperor Wu printed the edict that had been prepared in the Zhongshu Order on the same day on the grounds that he should conform to the way of heaven.
In order to show that the Son of Heaven violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, Emperor Wu ordered King Li to be beheaded outside the noon gate to show the public.
On that day, before that, it was necessary to make King Li no longer cry out for grievances!
Naturally, it was Emperor Wu's henchman who received this errand, Qi Chun personally supervised it, and a bowl of throat sealing was scattered, and King Li was dumb the night before he was beheaded.
And Empress Zhao is in the palace, so it is more convenient to solve it.
A white silk, a white cloth, this is the final fate of Queen Zhao.
How many people in the palace couldn't help but boo when they saw the feng shui taking turns, but they couldn't help but talk about it in private.
After the poisonous hair of Concubine De that day, the conditioning did not have much effect, and she was bedridden every day to recuperate, and by the tenth day of the first month, she could hardly get up. Wei Shi was anxious, and took Mu Yunge to see it again, and the answer he got was the same as last time, and he couldn't help but crouch in front of Concubine De's bed and choked.
Concubine De comforted him, it was useless after all, knowing that this level was necessary for Wei Shi, she could only sigh.
However, at the end of the day, there is always a sense of relief in my heart.
Wei Shi is raised under her knees, and he has not hurt Wei Shi in vain over the years, these days he brings tea and water, as long as he enters the palace, it must be indispensable. In comparison, Wei Yin has not appeared since Chinese New Year's Eve, and it seems that he doesn't even know that he is sick, let alone ask a few words of warmth, Concubine De remembered that this son was always raised in the Pei family, and for this son, I am afraid that power and status are what he needs and cherishes!
This is cold, and it is really similar to his father.
Every time Concubine De thought of this, she could only sigh, and then looked at Wei Shi, and gradually made a decision in her heart.
Although Emperor Wu has only one woman in his heart, the debt to her can also become her weapon. She can help Wei Shi, that is, the last point of Emperor Wu is indebted!
Concubine De was thinking about it, and the maidservant suddenly entered the inner room and whispered: "Niangniang, Your Highness, Zhenshu, Gonggong Qi went to the Middle Palace with white silk, wine and white cloth." ”
"Your Majesty seems to have made a decision." Concubine De's mind was at this moment, and Fang felt uneasy. She looked at Wei Shi and commanded softly: "Shi'er, help me up." Qing'er, change my clothes, I'm going to the middle palace and send her on her last ride. ”
"Mother, the wind and snow outside are so big, why bother to suffer from the cold for that kind of person?" Wei Shi helped her up according to his words, but he persuaded her bitterly.
Concubine De shook her head, her eyes firm: "There are some things I want to say to her personally." ”
Mu Yunge dragged Wei Shi, shook his head at him, and pulled him out of the inner hall together. The maidservant Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward to change the clothes of Concubine De. After changing her clothes, Concubine De asked Qing'er to put on makeup and look more energetic, so she ordered Wei Shi and Mu Yunge to come in, help her out of the inner hall, board the step, and go to the middle palace.
At this time, heavy snow falls in Kyoto, and light snowflakes fall in large clusters, bringing a sense of gloom for no reason.
Concubine De coughed all the way, and when she arrived outside the gate of the Middle Palace, she immediately deliberately endured it, holding back her flushed face, and finally couldn't help coughing again.
Qi Chun was just about to enter the door, when he heard the cough and turned around, he saw that it was Concubine De, Wei Shi and Mu Yunge, and he was busy kowtowing to say goodbye.
Concubine De coughed, and said intermittently softly, "Father-in-law Qi...... There are a few words in Hongu...... I want to say to her...... Can...... Can you forgive me for a moment? ”
"Niangniang, can you stand this body?" Qi Chun suddenly became nervous, and replied sharply: "This middle palace has been broken since yesterday, and the house is cold!" ”
"It doesn't matter. In just a few words, the palace is going back to the palace. Concubine De raised her head weakly, her eyes were soft, but she looked at it with a little sincerity.
Qi Chun couldn't bear to refuse, so he immediately stood outside the door with his things and said, "Niangniang, then you move faster, the emperor has instructed you to send her on the road as soon as possible." If the hour is delayed, it will be difficult for the slave to explain. ”
"Thank you!" Concubine De thanked him, Qing'er behind him was busy watching the reward, and Wei Shi helped Concubine De to step down cautiously.
Concubine De waved her hand, let Wei Shi and Mu Yunge wait outside, and took the girl in. This girl has been with her for many years, and she is her companion, and some words are inconvenient to listen to, but the girl can listen to them. Moreover, her body is weak, and if she doesn't rely on Qing'er's support, I'm afraid she won't be able to support it for long.
The palace gate has not fallen into disrepair, but in the silence, there is still a squeaky sound.
Concubine De entered the inner hall slowly and calmly, and the palace door slowly closed again. She raised her hand and wiped her forehead, Qing'er helped her, and walked towards the inner hall.
Empress Zhao was dressed in plain white cloth and sat in the inner hall with a cloak and a pot of tea in front of her. She raised her head when she heard the sound, and when she saw that the person who came was Concubine De, her eyes flashed a trace of loss, and she sneered: "The dying person in this palace is really honored to work for you, a sick man, to visit." ”
"Everyone knows each other, you have to go on the road, no matter what I say, I also have to send it off." Concubine De held Qing'er's hand and tried to make her voice sound less weak: "They are all people who are going to die, the queen, you are already a wasted queen, don't hold the queen's shelf anymore, right?" ”
"I'm going to die, and you don't necessarily have to live long!" Empress Zhao glared at her sharply.
There was still a long time to say, and it took a lot of effort to stand, so Concubine De Guifei motioned to Qing'er to help her sit down on a chair, and then said slowly: "Yes, I won't live long." But my son is still alive, and he will live well in the future. But King Li ......"
"What's wrong with King Li?" Empress Zhao's face changed, she was trapped in this palace, and she didn't know anything about King Li.
Concubine De smiled softly: "It's nothing, it's Your Majesty's decree that he will be cut off outside the gate at noon tomorrow to show the royal fairness and majesty." I heard that many people clapped their hands and applauded, but before tomorrow, there were people outside the gate at noon today. I'm afraid tomorrow will be a lively event. ”
"No, it won't, he loves Quan so much." Although Empress Zhao expected her end, she still had a trace of luck in her heart, hoping that Emperor Wu would not find a legitimate reason and would not correct Wei Quan on the spot for the time being. And she believes that Ji Rufu will definitely find a way to protect her rights first!
Concubine De smiled a little more cheerfully, and her gentle eyebrows seemed to be quenched with poison: "How could it not?" No matter how much it hurts, it's not your own blood after all, isn't it? ”
These words really made Empress Zhao hurt her muscles and bones, her lips were pale, and she couldn't say a word tremblingly.
Suddenly, she glanced at Concubine De and sneered a few times: "Even if my son dies, so what, Yin Cao Difu, we will be reunited." It's you, the person who has half of your body in the ground, don't you just want to tell me that King Li is going to be beheaded, right? ”
Concubine De shook her head: "No." I'm here to see what happens to you! ”
Empress Zhao looked at her fixedly for a moment, then stood up suddenly, narrowed her eyes, and said in a cold tone: "I know." You're not here to see what happened to me, you're here to vent your anger for that slut of Bai Jiu! ”
"You, you are not worthy of Jiu'er's grudge, so how can you be angry?" Concubine De shook her head, the corners of her mouth were full of ridicule: "I came here because I just wanted to see it myself." Don't you think you're pitiful, ridiculous, and pathetic, Queen Mother? ”
"Am I pathetic? How good can you be? Empress Zhao snorted unconvinced: "The poison on your body was personally poured into you by him." I brought on myself to end up where I am now, but I have a love in my life, and the people I love love me. But what about you? Ha, the person you love is the lord of the world, and the women in the world are his, and he won't take you to heart! In his heart, except for Bai Jiu, you are just tools for giving birth to children! I'm broken, someone can see it, but you're broken? I have to laugh and send my man to my friend's bed! ”
"You could have said something more ugly." Concubine De smiled faintly.
Empress Zhao said: "Isn't what I said the truth? ”
Concubine De looked at her, and her eyes were even more pity: "From the day I entered the palace, I understood that the man I was with was the most selfish person in the world. For me, it doesn't matter if he poured the poison or not, or if he sent him to his friend's bed. However, you don't understand this. If you understand, you wouldn't have taken revenge and used those despicable means against Jiu'er back then! ”
