226, the queen is reinstated
After Zhu Hongchuan was imprisoned, it took almost half a day to work hard, and those officials who had succumbed to his obscenity and were coerced and instigated by him all stood up and played his crimes one after another.
Just because he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, Zhu Hongchuan was already guilty of death.
Not to mention that the courtiers also listed him for seven crimes of rebellion, five crimes of trespassing, four crimes of bribery, and eleven crimes of self-interest...... The list goes on and on.
On the occasion of the public trial of Zhu Hongchuan in the court, the boiling discussion of the Manchu Dynasty was difficult to stop for a while.
Even the Queen Mother came forward in the end to reprimand: "You have done these things, you have really lost the face of the ancestors of the Zhu family!" The mourning family is the daughter of the Zhu family, and the onlookers are ashamed to listen to it! ”
She used a phoenix tail cane to pestle the ground hard, crying blood every word, "From now on, there will be no younger brother like you in the mourning family." What the emperor is willing to do with you, the mourning family will not ask. After you die, the mourning family will never allow you to be buried in the ancestral grave of the Zhu family, let alone your name on the family tree! ”
After saying this, the Queen Mother staggered back with the support of several palace maids.
She expelled Zhu Hongchuan from the Zhu family in public, so everything he did was done by everyone, what does it have to do with the Zhu family?
In addition, Li Mobai originally had the blood of the Zhu family flowing in his body, and it was impossible for him to issue an order to punish the nine clans of the Zhu family.
In the end, when the crime was decided, Zhu Hongchuan was punished for several crimes and sentenced to capital punishment.
"You don't have to wait until after the autumn, you will be executed tomorrow."
As for his family, Mrs. Mo and the queen, Li Mobai did not mention the treatment of them.
Before the execution, he went to the prison to see Zhu Hongchuan for the last time.
He is a decent person, and even when he is in prison, he cleans himself up very neatly.
Li Mobai asked him, "Do you regret it?" ”
"Regret what?" Zhu Hongchuan took a sip and sneered: "Regret that I couldn't escape your ears and eyes, and I didn't succeed in pulling you off the throne?" Li Mobai, don't forget, if you didn't have Lao Tzu's help, what would you have to be the emperor? Well!? ”
"Thank you uncle for helping me in the past." Li Mobai walked up to him and sat down, "So in the end, I still left my aunt's life behind, and I didn't kill the Zhu family." Not only because I have the blood of the Zhu family in my body, but also because I always remember how my uncle spared no effort to help me win the throne. ”
"But you unload the mill and kill the donkey, ruthless and unjust!" Zhu Hongchuan suddenly became emotional, and he got up and was about to rush towards Li Mobai.
But his hands and feet were handcuffed to the stone wall, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get close to Li Mobai's body.
"Uncle helps me, but also to help the family to shine on the lintel, a matter of mutual benefit, how to talk about unloading the mill and killing the donkey? And if it weren't for your uncle, your ambition to grow and do so many unforgivable foolish things, how could I be merciless and want to kill you completely? ”
"Win or lose! You can say anything now! It's hateful that the old man was blind and supported a white-eyed wolf like you, causing the old man to cut off his children and grandchildren! Wen'er married you in the mood for love, she has good looks, good temperament, and is outstanding in everything, which point is not worthy of you? But you are so ruthless that you want her to be a widow for so many years! ”
Li Mobai's face was calm and unwavering, "Yes, if she hadn't entered the emperor's family, she could have had a good life of her own." But it wasn't me who had harmed her so far. It's yourself. ”
Li Mobai brushed his sleeves and got up, and when he left, he remembered another thing, "Actually, there is one thing I don't understand. You have always been cautious, why did you make a mistake in a pinch? If you hadn't written that letter to the Queen, I wouldn't have been fully aware of your intentions. ”
"Letter?" Zhu Hongchuan was a little dazed in his resentment, "What letter?" ”
Seeing him like this, Li Mobai didn't want to ask any more.
Of course he won't admit it. He is already a dying person, how can he pull his only daughter into the water again?
Zhu Hongchuan was sentenced to car splitting, but Li Mobai didn't really kill them all.
Instead of him, he was sentenced to death by another condemned criminal, and Zhu Hongchuan was picked off his tendons, his tongue was pulled out, and he was sent out of Jiangdu along with his wife Mo.
Li Mobai gave them a thousand taels of silver tickets, and asked them to go as far as possible, and they would never be allowed to return to the river.
If they are recognized by wandering outside, then they will have only one way to die.
After dealing with all this, Li Mobai went to see the Queen Mother.
At that time, the Queen Mother was kneeling in front of the Buddhist shrine in Xianshou Palace to burn incense and pray, "Only in this way can the mourning family have an explanation for the ancestors of the Zhu family." He became a waste, but at least his life was saved. ”
Seeing that she was about to get up, Li Mobai stepped forward and helped her, "That day, after the queen mother scolded her uncle in person, she came to look for me behind her back, so she knelt in front of me and asked me to open the net." It doesn't matter if he dies or not, I just don't want to see my mother sad. ”
The mourning family heard that the guilty minister passed a note to the queen in advance, and the queen did not hide the matter, and chose to kill her relatives and told the emperor the matter as it was. Is there such a thing? ”
Li Mobai was silent for a moment and nodded in response.
The Queen Mother sighed: "It's also embarrassing for this child." On the one hand, she is her husband, and on the other hand, she is her father, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, but fortunately, she finally chose the right path. I heard that she came out of the wall because of this, broke her leg, and is now bedridden in the palace. Emperor...... Do you want to see her? ”
*
The will of the empress to the throne came early the next morning.
Fengluan Palace was unsealed, and Concubine Xi's power to manage the six palaces returned to her hands.
She couldn't get down to the ground to give thanks, but only held the scroll of the holy decree on the bed, and read every word several times.
"Congratulations to the Queen. Since this incident, the emperor has been more attentive to his mother. For Niangniang's leg injury, can you know who the emperor called to treat Niangniang? ”
"Who?"
"It's the miracle doctor, Wu Shiyin. He has always only served the emperor and the pregnant Shen family, and this is the first kindness. ”
The queen smiled bitterly: "Yes, such kindness was obtained by betraying his father in this palace." ”
Xiangling persuaded her, "Niangniang thinks about the benefits, at least the lives of the adults and the lady are saved." As long as people live, there will always be a time to see each other again. ”
"My aunt has been immersed in the palace for many years, and she still sees many things clearly. When the Japanese palace received a letter from his father, he had no idea, and privately passed the matter to his aunt. As soon as my aunt heard this, she immediately asked the palace to take the note to the emperor and give his father to the emperor. She said that only in this way can she solve the current predicament of the palace and leave a glimmer of life for her father. ”
The queen's expression became more and more gray, she lowered her eyes and looked at the gorgeous phoenix robe she was wearing, and smiled, "The queen of this palace has finally helped her mother's family." Isn't it? ”
