The recent atmosphere of Bitong Academy is a little depressing, and the eunuchs and palace ladies all know that the queen who has always been in a good mood always has a cold face, and she usually doesn't sleep comfortably during the afternoon nap, and the people who serve underground tell each other that they must be good on an errand, and don't want the queen to have a chance to attack herself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

An Dehai hurriedly ran in from outside Bitong Academy, and when a few little eunuchs saw the angry leader and eunuch, they couldn't help but stop the broom and whispered, "I don't know where there is any bad news." ”

"Let's pay attention to our brothers, quickly finish the errand, find a place to rest, as long as we do our business, we will be at ease at other times."

"Extremely, extremely."

"Concubine Wen has passed away?" Xingzhen nodded, and her originally depressed mood became a little more sad, and the imperial doctor reported that Concubine Wen's body was completely broken, that is, in these few days, "It's a pity, her parents are still in the garden?" ”

"Yes, the bachelor entered the palace today, and Concubine Wen's mother has been with her day and night for the past few days, and now she is crying over there." An Dehai handed over the fold in his hand, "This is Concubine Wen's testament." ”

Xingzhen took Concubine Wen's fold and opened it to watch, "Then you hurry up and tell the emperor, hey, this posthumous mourning must also be prepared by the Internal Affairs Office." ”

"Yes." An Dehai turned around and was about to leave, when he heard the queen's shout, "Wait! An Dehai turned around and saw a little happy expression on Xingzhen's originally annoyed face, Xingzhen slammed the fold of Concubine Wen and raised her head, the tired gold silk agate phoenix pattern on her head trembled slightly, Xingzhen looked directly at An Dehai, and her eyes shot a fine light, "Sister Concubine Wen, Sister Concubine Wen, you are really time!" It's a godsend! With this palace in one day, you will naturally protect your home! Xiao Anzi, arrange a sedan chair, and go to Qingyan in Kyushu immediately, and the palace wants to discuss this matter with the emperor! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Fuen took a sip of Qimen black tea in the signing room, closed his eyes and recuperated. In the morning, I went to the Old Summer Palace to attend the imperial meeting, and I didn't take off my mending clothes, so I sat in the signing room, waiting for the meeting, and I had important things.

Chen Fuen's master walked in quietly. Attached to Chen Fuen's ear, he whispered: "Dong Weng, the three people in the prison have already eaten the food. ”

Chen Fuen nodded, "The cabinet military aircraft hasn't changed much, right?" ”

"With Lord Sushun watching over there, nothing will change," the master said. "There will definitely be no more variables in this matter, even if Bai Jun wants the emperor's pardon, Lord Sushun will definitely not let the edict go out of the Old Summer Palace."

Chen Fuen opened his eyes and sighed slightly, "The old man doesn't want to put Bai Jun to death, just send him home, if this court battle is dead, if Duanhua Zaiyuan and others lose power in the future, it is inevitable that someone will fall into the well and put the old man to death." "Take the Northern Song Dynasty as an example. Originally, the political struggle was just a demotion of officials, and the losers were driven out of the court and no longer made a dead hand, but after Wang Anshi changed the law, Zhezong became the dynasty and let several important figures of the Conservative Party die in the degraded place of Lingnan in a row, which ignited the entire political situation like a gunpowder cord, and the government was corrupted.

"Although it is said that there is a line in everything, Su Shun wants to put people to death, and the emperor has approved it, and Dong Weng doesn't have to worry too much. A few iron hat kings, who can't be easily reached, why should Dong Weng worry about the sky. The master knew well about Chen Fuen and the others, and opened his mouth to comfort.

"That's all there is to it. Since the old man is allowed to go to prison, there can be no mistake in everything, those imperial historians who are eyeing the Jinshi can't bite Su Shun, and bite me, the big secretary, you can arrange it. The master bowed down, Chen Fuen shook his spirits, where is there any way back at this time, he can only move forward, "At three o'clock in the afternoon, the body will be verified, and it will be cut immediately!" ”

"Yes, Dong On." The master responded, but he was a little worried, "If the emperor suddenly changes his mind and wants to pardon Bai Jun and others, it is better to execute it earlier than to be embarrassed at that time?" ”

"No," Chen Fuen shook his head and flatly refused, "This official is executed according to the law here, if Su Shun can't stop the emperor's will, then this will not do the old man's business." ”

"Dong Weng thinks that Su Shun can't stop the emperor's edict?"

Chen Fuen squinted his eyes and pondered, "If it is usual, Su Shun is naturally the most favored courtier before the emperor drives, but in this garden, there are still characters that Su Lao Liu is difficult to match," Chen Fuen saw the master's expression on his face, and nodded slightly, "It is the one in Chuxiu Palace, Su Shun is indeed talented, but he is arrogant, no one in his eyes, he has always looked down on the lord of the six palaces, this plan to suppress bandits, approve and fold on behalf of the emperor, and give birth to a dragon son to the emperor, sir, who do you think of?" ”

"That's naturally the Heavenly Great Holy Empress."

The Great Sage Empress is Wu Zetian, "You can also see that the emperor's body has always been not very good, and he sleeps in flowers and willows all day long, and he is afraid that the things that he can't bear to say in the future will come quickly, and when the time comes, the queen is in the prime of life, has the means, has the strategy, and justifiably gives birth to the new emperor, and the time for Su Shun to suffer losses will come." The old man looked at this situation coldly, if Su Shun was to be defeated in the future, he would definitely be defeated at the hands of people he couldn't see now! ”

"Does Dong Weng want to plan ahead?"

"There is no need to be like this," Chen Fuen shook his head and vetoed, "The old man prides himself on having a clear conscience and is diligent in his errands, presumably there must be someone in the court to do things, not to mention that Su Shun is the most taboo to step on two boats, and take a look first," Chen Fuen drank his cup of tea, "It's not that time now, what's more, sir, you also know that there is a saying that the icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow, and now when people are proud, the old man is nothing, and the old man is looking at it today," Chen Fuen stood up and stroked the non-existent folds on his body," Although his memory is not as good as when he was young, the old man also remembers that when the queen began to approve the excerpt on behalf of the queen, Bai Jun said that it was a woman who interfered in politics, if so, the queen was willing to help, then presumably as long as the old man did not deliberately make things difficult for the queen and Chengengong's family, if the old man was in trouble in the future, he would naturally be able to ask her for help. ”

Chen Fuen's Shaoxing master is worthy of being well-informed, and as Chen Fuen walked out of the signing room, he said another secret thing, "I heard Su La, who was on an errand in the Old Summer Palace, said that on the day when Su Shun Shangzi wanted to try the scroll grinding survey of Shuntianfu Township, Bai Jun's wife went to the garden to see the queen first, and then the emperor issued a decree to thoroughly investigate the matter." ”

"Oh?" Chen Fuen was ready to retreat, and he didn't have the determination to die, so what the master said was a secret to listen to, Chen Fuen was quite interested when he heard it, "This Bai Jun is not blind, but he knows that worshipping the Buddha is to worship the real Buddha." Burn incense to burn incense, let's just watch, now in this court, the situation is changing. Wave after wave is unsettled, wave after wave, it's really hard to watch, but, sir. Isn't this getting more interesting, you say? ”

"Dong Weng sits firmly on the Diaoyu Tai."

Emperor Xianfeng was in Fangcao at this time from a group of southern opera troupes to entertain, although he obeyed Su Shun and hooked Bai Jun to make a decision, but this Xianfeng Emperor always had a pimple in his heart that lingered, and he was weak recently, and his mood was heavy, night sweats were frequent, he couldn't sleep well at night, and he was even more lazy during the day, and he didn't pay attention to things inside and outside the palace. Today, my body is a little better, and I passed on a dry play from the Shengping Department to perform in front of the emperor, and I don't need gongs and drums, I don't use any makeup on my head and face, I only use the piano and flute to sing, Emperor Xianfeng lazily leaned on the Luohan bed, flipped through the booklet in his hand, looked at the one and wanted to listen, and with a light touch of his hand, the steward eunuch of the Shengping Department hurriedly nodded and bowed. Let the servants standing solemnly on the ground sing.

sang the second play of "The Story of the Purple Hairpin": In the spring, a child dressed as a scholar paced in eight characters and sang a piece of [Pearl Curtain]: Ten years of snow reflecting the south. Tianchi Jun. The vultures are muddy and sleepy. Dedication and dissertation. It's a spit. The prison journey is in the cold color. Quietly asked each other. It's only a few points. This heart period is occupied. This spring seems to be stable.

Although the ambition in the artistic conception does not change, it is inevitable to be depressed. It is exactly in line with the emperor's current intentions, and when he is sighing, the Ruyi on the side comes to the emperor's ear, "Long live the lord, the queen mother has arrived." ”

The Emperor nodded, still listening to the child's cappella. Seeing that the queen turned out from behind a large piece of Taihu Lake stone, and blessed herself slightly, the emperor raised his hand and asked the child of the Shengping Department to stop singing, "The queen doesn't need to be polite," the emperor now knows, anyway, as long as the queen comes to see him in person, there is always something important to discuss with him, "What's the matter, what's the mess there?" ”

Xingzhen stood up, with an appropriate sadness on her face, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wen's sister has passed away." ”

The emperor's hand, which was still idling through the hand, stopped, his brows furrowed, and then he sighed, "Is this the matter?" ”

"Yes, in recent years, in order to help the emperor complete the compilation of the "Xianfeng Dictionary", Sister Wen has worked hard, day and night, living on the edge of Wenyuan Pavilion, afraid of going out of the water, and even the charcoal fire in winter dare not be born. Xingzhen wiped her tears with a silk, "The concubine also persuaded her bitterly, but Concubine Wen's sister was dedicated to the emperor's rule and did not listen to the concubine at all." ”

"That's it, she is also a poor person, although she bumped into Concubine Li back then, I didn't blame her later, she seemed to blame me, she didn't heat up to me every day, now it seems that she is still a very good person, but she is quiet and introverted, the queen, you pass the decree to the Internal Affairs Bureau, think about a title, and give the concubine a courtesy for the funeral," the emperor closed the play list and waved his hand to let the people from the Shengping Department go out, and now he is not in the mood to listen to the drama at all, "When Concubine Wen leaves, will there be a last word?" ”

"Left a testament," Xingzhen handed the fold in her hand to the emperor, "saying that after death, I would like to be buried briefly, and let the emperor be merciful and love the people, and be lenient." ”

"People are dying and their words are good," Xianfeng opened Concubine Wen's fold, "Concubine Wen's words are extremely true. ”

Xingzhen saw that the current atmosphere was almost over, and hurriedly stopped crying, "The emperor still asks for condolences, although Concubine Wen's sister must be frugal in her life, she can't lose her heavenly temperament, this natural concubine will be arranged, but something else," Xingzhen looked at Emperor Xianfeng's color, and said word by word, "There is one thing that the concubine didn't dare to talk about, but now taking advantage of Concubine Wen's sister's fold, the concubine is bold and outspoken." ”

"Huh?" Emperor Xianfeng looked up at Xingzhen, "Empress, if you have anything to say, there is nothing I and you can't say." ”

"Yes, the concubine is bold, the concubine wants to ask the emperor to pardon Bai Jun's death crime for the sake of Concubine Wen's sister's widow!" Xingzhen bowed her head and said.

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly silently, "Don't I know that the sixteen taels are human nature, Bai Jun really doesn't deserve to die, but Su Shun insists on it, and in addition, the cabinet and military aircraft and other kings and ministers have no objections, so the death penalty is convicted, although I can't bear it, I also know that the will has been made, and I can't turn back." ”

"Since the emperor knows that Bai Jun's sin does not deserve to die, now taking advantage of Concubine Wen's sister's wishes, why not forgive one or two to comfort Concubine Wen's sister in the heavens? I have always had eight discussions, Bai Jun has always made great contributions, and his sin is not as good as death. The queen leaned on the emperor and slowly sat on the Luohan bed, whispering softly, "Although Su Shun is a capable official, he can't force the emperor to do what the emperor doesn't want to do, don't you say, the emperor?" The previous decision was made to maintain the strictness of the law, if the emperor issued a special pardon today, this is to show the emperor's bodhisattva's heart, Bai Jun and others can be grateful for the grace of heaven, and they must be loyal to the emperor," the emperor looked up at the queen's eyes, Xingzhen looked calmly, "What's more, Bai Jun is an old courtier left by the first emperor, for the sake of the first emperor, Bai Jun should not be allowed to be in a different place." ”

A trace of hesitation flashed in the emperor's eyes, and the repeated hesitation left and right was perfectly interpreted in the emperor, "Rong Zhen think about it, what you said is very true, the queen is very true, this truth is clear, I understand it in my heart, Bai Jun is indeed innocent, although he is guilty, he should not be beheaded." However, Bai Jun's execution is today? If I issue an order to pardon Bai Jun and others, I am afraid that Su Shun will make noise again, and I am afraid that it will be annoying. ”

Xianfeng and Su Shun are not ordinary monarchs and ministers, Xingzhen sighed in her heart, the attitude of a courtier has been in the scope of consideration of the emperor's decision, such a courtier is indeed the emperor's henchman, no, it should not be called a confidant, but should be called a "bosom friend", the monarch and the minister get to this point, Su Shun, Su Shun, how many lifetimes have you cultivated?

Xingzhen's eyes rolled, and she thought of a way, so she smiled at Emperor Xianfeng: "This is not simple, the concubine told the emperor a Qiao Zong'er, the emperor took care of his own pleasure and leisure, pushed things out, and made others worry about it, so that the emperor would have a good name and steal fun." ”

"Oh? Speaking quickly, if there is a way to have both worlds, it is naturally excellent. Emperor Xianfeng urged Xingzhen. (To be continued.) )
