Chapter 277: Draw Clear (Two More Requests for Pink Tickets)
"What does the Empress Dowager command?" Lady Yao pushed open the door and came in, bowed her head with her hands tied, and stood at the door.
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly: "Immediately announce that Wu Guogong will enter the palace to meet you!" - Ride back to the palace!"
The empress dowager was in a hurry, and she went in a hurry, and when she left, she left the two powerful palace maids around her to serve King Zhao.
Of course, it is also to prevent him from waking up and seeking death again.
β¦β¦
In the middle of the night, the door of the Duke of Wu was banged.
The doorkeeper said angrily behind the door: "In the middle of the night, what kind of mourning!" β
The person knocking on the door outside was immediately annoyed, and said loudly: "The Empress Dowager has a decree, Xuan Wu Guogong will come to see you!" After speaking, he turned around and left, but he didn't wait for Wu Guogong.
The gatekeeper of the Duke of Wu's Mansion was dumbfounded, and hurriedly opened the door to take a look, and saw that the man had already gotten on his horse and went in the direction of the palace.
Is this going or not going?
The man hesitated for a while, but he still went to the second gate of the inner courtyard to report the letter, and said to the mother-in-law on the second gate in a panic: "You go to the old man to deliver the message, just say that the empress dowager has summoned and let the old man hurry into the palace to meet him!" β
"Huh? In the middle of the night, aren't you sleepy? The mother-in-law on the second door was very disdainful.
"No, no!" Menzi was so anxious that he waved his hand again and again, "You go quickly!" Just now, I thought that someone was deliberately arresting us, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was indeed the palace attendant, and he had already ridden back to the palace! If you don't go, you'll delay the big event, and you'll just wait for your head to be lost tomorrow! β
The woman jumped up in fright, "Then I'll go!" With that, he hurriedly went to Ruiyun Building, where Old Man Wu lived, to report the news.
Old Man Wu was woken up in his sleep and was also very impatient. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Sir. The door outside came in in the middle of the night to report the news. said that the Empress Dowager Xuanwu and the old man entered the palace overnight to meet him! β
Old Man Wu was shocked, and suddenly came to his senses, got up and dressed, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" Have you inquired? β
For no reason, the Empress Dowager would not announce his entry into the palace in the middle of the night.
Old Man Wu didn't think anyone would dare to make such a joke.
The Empress Dowager has been in charge of the government for 20 years, and she has always been tough, and no one has ever dared to use the Empress Dowager's signboard to swagger outside.
The person outside whispered, "No." β
"Hurry up and ask!" Old Man Wu changed into his shoes, "Let the outer courtyard prepare a sedan chair again!" β
The people outside hurriedly went to spread the word.
While sending someone to inquire about what happened to the Empress Dowager. While ordering someone to prepare a sedan chair.
Old Man Wu thought about it, and ordered someone to call his three sons, Wu Changge, Wu Changfeng, and Wu Changshan, and ordered: "I will enter the palace now to meet the Empress Dowager, and you will wait at home." In case I don't come out, remember to go to the Divine General's Mansion for help! β
Somehow, Old Man Wu's eyelids couldn't stop jumping.
Being rushed into the palace in the middle of the night like this is generally not a good thing.
And the one who summoned him was a ruthless person like the Queen Mother......
Old Man Wu hurriedly dressed up, came to the gate, and got on the eight-person sedan chair made by the Duke of Wu. In the direction of the Imperial Palace.
When I came to the gate of the palace, I was told to wait first. said that the Empress Dowager was busy with other things.
Old man Wu now understands that the Empress Dowager must be looking for the Wu family's stubble.
He didn't ask too much, he sat in the sedan chair with his hands in his hands, closed his eyes and groaned, thinking about if there was anything that had offended the Empress Dowager recently.
He thought about it, but he couldn't think of a place to offend the Empress Dowager.
Just as he was hesitating, the person he sent out to inquire about the news came, and whispered to him through the sedan chair: "Master, I have inquired." β
"What's the matter?" Wu Guogong suddenly opened his eyes, lifted the sedan curtain and asked.
The man leaned up and whispered: "It was said that King Zhao had an accident and fainted, and the Empress Dowager went to King Zhao's Mansion overnight, and when she came back, she urgently summoned the master to the palace." β
Old Man Wu was stunned for a moment, and thought in his heart: If it is King Zhao's business, he should go to the Shengguo Mansion when he is sick, what to do with him? He is a businessman, can he only make money......
Old Man Wu was full of doubts, but he couldn't enter the palace immediately, so he had to sit in a sedan chair and wait.
He has always been a very well-cultivated and good-tempered person, but this time, he was hung at the gate of the palace for almost half a night, which also made him impetuous.
He knew that the Empress Dowager must have done it on purpose, and something big must have happened to their family......
Old Man Wu became more and more worried in his heart, and just when he was about to take it back, an attendant finally came over to pass the word.
"Old Man Wu, you can go in with the little one." The little chamberlain smiled and invited him in.
Old Man Wu hurriedly got down from the sedan chair, followed the little chamberlain, and entered the palace step by step.
Entering from the gate, I walked for more than half an hour before I came to the inner palace gate.
I entered from the inner palace gate, and walked for more than half a day before I came to the Anhe Palace gate of the Empress Dowager.
The little chamberlain went in to pass the word.
Old Man Wu waited for a while, and then waited for Lady Yao to come out, and said solemnly: "Wu Guogong, the Empress Dowager is invited." β
Old Man Wu smiled at her, nodded and said, "There is a female officer Lao Yao." With that, he strode in.
Lady Yao took him to Chongdezhai on the right side of Anhe Palace.
As soon as I entered, I saw a large Bogu frame, which divided the hall into two entrances.
He walked around the Bogu frame and saw the Empress Dowager sitting behind the bookcase with a pale face.
Old Man Wu hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I've seen the Empress Dowager." β
The curtain of Chongdezhai was lowered, and the light in the hall dimmed, but the table lamp on the Empress Dowager's bookcase gradually lit up.
The Empress Dowager didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.
The gaze was substantial, and he gradually saw that the old man Wu's chubby round face was sweating.
His waist bent more and more.
The Empress Dowager snorted and threw a stack of files on the ground in front of him, "See for yourself!" β
Old Man Wu hurriedly bent down to pick up the file and read it.
At first glance, his eyes widened.
"This, this, this...... How is this possible! He subconsciously retorted.
"Impossible? Hmph, your eldest daughter-in-law, Zheng Suxin, is very capable! The Empress Dowager's slender fingers tapped on the table. Listen to the ears of Old Man Wu. But it's like a talisman. His legs were weak and he knelt down for the Empress Dowager.
"The Empress Dowager, this ...... Is there some misunderstanding? "Old Man Wu looked at the things recorded in the file, it was really appalling.
It turned out that the first emperor suddenly fell ill, and it was Zheng Suxin who did it, not Old Man Sheng!
"You don't believe me?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, "This dossier was personally tried by the king of Dali Temple." You don't believe it. How about announcing that he will come in and repeat it? β
"Don't, don't!" Old Man Wu suddenly waved his hand again and again, "The Empress Dowager, the minister knows that he is wrong!" β
Wang Zhiquan admitted death.
He has been in charge of Dali Temple for more than 20 years, and he has not had a wrong trial.
Since even he thinks that Zheng Suxin did it, it must be eight or nine......
The things said in this dossier are well-founded, and there are witnesses, Zheng Suxin can't even speak now, can't move, and is really exactly the same as the first emperor's illness!
This thing. If you really want to do it according to the law, your own Wu family is full. If you don't say all of them, at least you have to die so that only one person is left, just like the Sheng family......
At this moment, Old Man Wu seemed to be ten years older.
The white and chubby round face became gray and haggard, and the lips were closed, and he couldn't say a word.
He put down the file, buried his head deeply, and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager.
Such a move has never been done before for the Four Great Princes.
They had meritorious service from the dragon back then, and they had a blood oath with the Great Xia royal family, and the princes of the four major princes could not kneel to the royal family.
But Old Man Wu still knelt down.
Because the form shì is stronger than the person.
Zheng Suxin committed such a mistake, according to the law, they are indeed going to be beheaded.
If they weren't one of the four great princes and made such a big mistake, they would have waited to destroy the Nine Clans......
The Empress Dowager saw that Old Man Wu knew each other very well, and the evil spirit in her heart dispersed a lot.
"Get up. In this matter, King Zhao interceded for you, saying that Zheng Suxin did it alone, so don't involve the innocent. The Empress Dowager said slowly and gave this favor to King Zhao.
Old Man Wu's heart moved, and he immediately understood what the Empress Dowager meant. ββIt is to draw a line with Zheng Suxin!
By this time, he had no choice.
Although Zheng Suxin is the wife of the son of their Wu family, who was hired by three matchmakers and six of them, and spent a lot of money to marry them and go on the family tree, but she made such a big mistake, it may affect the lives of the Wu family, and this choice is not so difficult to make.
Old Man Wu stood up and bowed his head and said: "King Zhao is really benevolent and charitable, and our Wu family is grateful for his kindness." And Zheng Suxin is too much. Such a big sin, the crime is unforgivable, our Wu family, there is no such daughter-in-law! β
When he said this, of course, he wanted to come forward to get rid of Zheng Suxin.
The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, "If Zheng Suxin is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, of course it has nothing to do with the Wu family." β
Old Man Wu's face was miserable, and he said, "I'm sorry for Brother Zheng." "He's talking about Old Man Zheng, Zheng Suxin's father.
The Empress Dowager smiled strangely, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, you take a leave of absence from Zheng Suxin, and the mourning family will give you this face, and press this matter down for the time being." You just find another reason to divorce her. β
Getting rid of Zheng Suxin is only the first step.
The things that this woman values, the Empress Dowager said, must be destroyed one by one!
She had ruined her daughter, and the next thing was her reputation.
When Old Man Wu went out of the palace, the sky was just dawning.
He looked at the sky, went to Zheng Guogong's mansion first, and said to the old man Zheng who had just gotten up: "Brother Zheng, brother is sorry for you." β
"What's wrong?" Old Man Zheng said in surprise.
"I'm going to take a long leave of absence, Zheng Suxin." Old man Wu said.
Wu Changge is his eldest son, and Zheng Suxin was originally the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family.
Old Man Zheng was very cold, pondered for a long time, and slowly shook his head and said, "Su Xin is a daughter who has already been married, and I can't control her." Feel free to do so. As he spoke, he served tea and sent it off.
Old Man Wu knew that this matter must be difficult for Old Man Zheng to accept, but Old Man Zheng didn't say anything, just said that he didn't care about Zheng Suxin, and such an attitude also made Old Man Wu's heart sink.
In this way, Zheng Suxin was probably really inseparable from the fact that the first emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and the Sheng family was beheaded.
Thinking about it like this, he was a little frightened.
Zheng Suxin has always been bold and careful, doing things unexpectedly, and can do what others cannot.
Truly...... Conditionally capable of doing such a thing!
It's horrible......
Old Man Wu returned to the Wu Mansion almost in a sweat.
As soon as he went back, he summoned the principal of the third room of the Wu family to the front of the ancestral hall of the Wu family, and said to everyone: "The daughter of the Zheng family, since she married into our Wu family, she has not adhered to women's morals, disobeyed her elders, acted willfully, and repeatedly committed tongues to bring trouble to the Wu family. In the name of the head of the Wu family, I specially opened an ancestral hall to remove Zheng Suxin from the Wu family! - From now on, she is not a Wu wife! Our Wu family, there is no such person as her! β
As soon as he said this, the Wu family was stunned. ββWhat a surprise......
Wu Changge's face was flushed with anger, his fists were clenched tightly in his hands, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Dad, Su Xin is my wife, you want to open an ancestral hall and divorce her, do you have to ask me to agree?" β
"Do you agree?" Old Man Wu asked coldly.
"I-no- Wu Changge said loudly.
"You don't agree?" Old Man Wu smiled, "Okay, I'll get rid of you together!" β
He's had enough of this stupid son! This time, he must not be sent to death with the whole clan!
