Chapter 643: Purging the Harem
Ling He originally had a look of hope, but her face was gray at this time, she couldn't understand this Jiang Yao more and more, her mind was really deep, she couldn't see it, and she didn't know what she wanted to play.
Listening to what Jiang Yao said, she suddenly felt that the prison was not safe, and she looked at Concubine Zhao with suspicious eyes, with ruthlessness.
Every concubine in this hall, she has a way to deal with it, and if they want to break ground on their heads, they don't have much chance of winning. But only when she came to Jiang Yao, she didn't know what kind of person Jiang Yao was.
Liang Baisheng pleaded and raised his head and looked at Jiang Yao, who was high above, he tried to raise his body but couldn't, and finally said helplessly: "Emperor, please let us die together, even if it is the last days, I want to spend it with Xiaohe."
Yun Bi had a cold eye, her eyebrows lowered and she sneered. Stroking the golden armor, he said, "Delusional! The palace is strictly disciplined, where do you want to do what you want, corrupt the palace siege, and still want to die and gain? ”
Ling He looked at Yun Bi, this was pressing step by step, without giving any breath, she knelt up straight. brushed her messy hair with her hand, and looked at Yun Bi with a ruthless look in her eyes, so she could only gamble.
"Those dirty things that Concubine Bi did behind her back, I'm afraid I forgot about it now that I have a high position?"
"You're slandering! Crazy and biting, people like the emperor can't stay anymore. ”
Yun Bi turned to Jiang Yao with an eager look, but Jiang Yao was unhurried, curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Why is Concubine Bi so unbreathable, scared you in three or two sentences?" Just now he said that he would interrogate the imperial concubine properly. ”
Ling He wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth, seeing that this kind of person wished she would die, Liang Baisheng clenched Ling He's hand.
"Xiaohe, don't struggle, this matter is all because of me, I am willing to die. I also hope that the emperor and all the ladies can forgive the imperial concubine, she was coerced by me......"
"Nope! No, why don't you understand, they want us to die now, but even if they die, I have to let them be backs! ”
Concubine Shen glanced at Ling He with disdain, and muttered, "It's you!" It's too conceited! ”
Concubine Shen set up a shop for the three princes outside the palace, opened a crow hall, and put money everywhere. sucked a lot of people's hard-earned money, consolidated financial resources for the three princes, and made friends with a group of new literati and artists, what do you want to do? It has already been seen that the heart of seizing the heir is not a day or two. ”
Ling He looked at Concubine Shen fiercely, and shook out her unknown evil deeds, Concubine Shen suddenly turned blue and bloodless, slipped down from the chair, and knelt in the hall.
She raised her head and looked at Jiang Yao tremblingly, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine ......."
Jiang Yao drank the new tea, scraping the lid of the bowl one by one, without any panic, but looking very leisurely.
"The emperor, it is all the imperial concubines who spread rumors here, and the concubines are innocent, and they have never planned anything for the three princes......"
It is a trivial matter to buy a shop and put money in the seal, it is nothing more than a reprimand for two sentences of cholera palace discipline, but this is a plan for the three princes, and if you want the three princes to take the heir, it is a capital crime to lose your head and destroy the nine clans.
"You have to think about this clearly, whether it is or not, don't lie like the imperial concubine."
Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Concubine Shen with indifferent eyes, and her shocked identity was covered in cold sweat, and she immediately crawled on the ground as soon as she rolled her eyes: "Back to the emperor, the concubine thought that her mother's family was not rich, so she went to the city to put the money in the seal and opened a few silk villages."
That smoke house was not opened by the concubine, it was opened by the concubine's brother in order to appease the courtiers, and the concubine persuaded him many times to no avail. There are also those literati, but they just teach some geographical knowledge, and the concubines have no intention of harming the country and the people, let alone let Cheng Wu go to rob the eldest prince of something......"
With tears in her eyes, Concubine Shen sat on the ground and begged Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao took a sip of tea and glanced at Concubine Shen.
"Concubine Shen, why don't you tell the truth, do you want me to say it for you?"
She didn't expect that she was clean on the surface, and what she said was understandable, Jiang Yao didn't believe it. The emperor, who is quiet and indifferent on weekdays, only knows how to sleep and play for fun, how has it become so deep now?
Or is it a cover-up all along? It just gave everyone the illusion of a good temper.
"Your Majesty, everything the concubine said is true, and there is no falsehood."
Concubine Shen lowered her head, still gritting her teeth, she couldn't confess, she couldn't confess until she had to, she couldn't confess everything, ruining all her future.
"It's a hard-mouthed one, with a knife on his neck, and he doesn't repent. Ask Jean, you can tell me. ”
Wenqin walked two steps, arrived in the hall, stood in front of Concubine Shen, cleared her throat and said, "Since Concubine Shen doesn't want to say it, then the slave maid will say it for Concubine Shen." Concubine Shen opened thirteen shops and five crow houses, and the name was used by her brother, and fifty percent of them were used to put the money in the seal.
Fifty percent is into the Taiping Garden, outside the palace thirteen into the Taiping Garden, is the newly bought mansion of Concubine Shen, this node raised hundreds of literati and ink writers, living in money, sucking the people's hard-earned money, I am afraid that it is for the border battle. Concubine Shen, are you right when you say the slave? ”
Ask Qin to say it so carefully, this has obviously been investigated a long time ago, just wait for it to break out.
Concubine Shen's heart was like a knife, and Wen Qin said so, there must be evidence and there is no room for refutation.
"Your Majesty, since you know everything, what are you asking me to do?"
Concubine Shen sneered with a wry smile, from sitting paralyzed to sitting cross-legged, and even looked a little fearless.
"Now that the family and the country are in trouble, you actually want to collect money everywhere and prepare literati, how can you want to control speech?"
"The emperor has drafted an edict for the eldest prince to succeed to the throne and supervise the country, and it is placed behind the plaque, what can we do, what else can we do? In the event of a war, who cares if our mother and son live or die? ”
"Or do you still want to tamper with the edict and sit on the throne with your Chengwu?"
Concubine Shen clutched the hem of her skirt tightly in her hand, her eyes stared at Jiang Yao, and she felt a chill in her heart, this woman was too terrible. Every sentence is fatal, it depends on whether she wants to die, there is no way to live if she dies for 10,000 years, and there are 10,000 ways to live if she doesn't die.
"The concubine never has this thought, the concubine just wants to give the concubine and Chengwu a stability."
"Zhou Anguo can't give you stability, where do you want to go to stability? Where do you put the emperor at this time, you haven't thought about Da Zhou or the emperor in every sentence! ”
Jiang Yao's words became sharp, but Concubine Shen smiled bitterly, and the concubines in the hall were still immersed in shock, but they didn't expect that overnight, Concubine Shen also fell, and Concubine Zhao was looked at proudly by Ling He.
Concubine Shen gradually trembled with laughter, "Your Majesty? Home country? Safe...... Hehehe, who would believe this kind of deceptive nonsense? Which of the women in the palace is not trying to be comfortable, those righteous and awe-inspiring words, only the emperor will think, he is the Son of Heaven, and it should be so. ”
Jiang Yao only realized at this time that she was really different from them, no matter how much she said, she didn't say more than half a sentence.
"Now that he has confessed, he has seized all the shops and smoke houses, sealed off the Taiping Garden, and carefully investigated those literati. The nine clans of the Liu family deposed all official positions, and released the border to fill the army, and Concubine Shen and Chengwu were exiled to the cities around the border. ”
Concubine Shen thought that according to Jiang Yao's previous actions, at most she would be under house arrest, and she had been under house arrest many times, and she was not afraid of these, and when they went to the border, they would naturally be able to come out.
When she heard Jiang Yao say this, she suddenly felt like a thunderbolt on the top of her head, and stood up angrily and said, "What qualifications do you have!" Jiang Yao! You are the emperor of Nan'anguo, why do you manage the palace of Zhou Anguo! You don't have any status now, so why should you decide whether our mother and son will stay or not? ”
Concubine Shen pointed her finger at Jiang Yao indignantly, and poured out all the words that were suppressed in her heart, the Song family can still survive for many years, why does her Liu family have to suffer a catastrophe?
"It is I who allows the emperor, assists in the administration of the court, and governs the harem, and my rivers and mountains are all emperors."
At this time, it was Duan Jingyan who walked in from outside the door, dressed in a pale yellow and neat regular clothes, with a golden dragon pattern embroidered with a vivid color, and inadvertently you could see all over the corner of the clothes, embroidered with begonia flowers.
