Chapter 33 Step by step
"You've only been here for two days before leaving?"
Si Moyue's eyes were full of reluctance for her son to leave.
Si Nanxing didn't want to leave so early, but when the palace came out, the empress urgently summoned all the princes who were outside, and he didn't worry that Chang Yuanli was alone, so he planned to leave together.
——
"The Mother Emperor rarely gathers our children in the Heart Cultivation Palace." Chang Yuanli sorted out the dark blue dark flower palace clothes, straightened the crown of hair on her head, and on the way there, she met Chang Jingchu, who also received an urgent call.
"In the two days you went outside, the mother first asked the people of the Nanyu Army to quickly summon the fourth sister who was far away in Yinzhou, and then called the third brother back from Luo'an."
With such a big formation, I'm afraid something big is going to happen?
When the two of them hurried to the Heart Cultivation Palace, to Chang Yuanli's surprise, there were still Su Yi'an on the left and Lu Muyu on the right sitting in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and she didn't know the remaining two.
"Come and sit down." Chang Yue's voice was a little hoarse, as if she hadn't rested for several days.
Yu An stepped forward to look at the tea for the two of them.
"I have called you here today because I have something for you to do." Chang Yue's expression was very solemn, "These days, I have heard in the palace that someone in the capital pretended to be a royal doctor and abducted and deceived him, and the silver taels obtained by fraud were donated to the temples in Xuanzhou. ”
Xuanzhou has been washed by floods in recent months, the crops have died, the flooded have been flooded, the supply of granaries is insufficient, and the people are living a hungry life, but none of the people under such a big thing have played!
"I'm afraid that some people are dissatisfied with the royal family and use this matter to discredit the royal family, and these people can't stay." Chang Yuanqin suggested.
"If those people didn't openly donate the silver money to Xuanzhou after being exposed, but in the name of being good for the royal family, they were smearing the royal family behind their backs, who would dare to do this kind of crime of exterminating the nine clans? Someone must be behind this. Chang Yuanli blew the tea leaves lying on his face, "The people behind this are afraid that they want the mother emperor to lose her reputation." ”
"The mother queen has reigned for many years, who is so unpleasant?" Chang Yuanlan echoed.
"Zheng Xiangna."
"Wechen is here."
It turned out that this was Zheng Li's mother...
"Do you know a thing or two about Xuanzhou?"
Zheng Xiang hurriedly knelt down and lowered his head, "Your Majesty!" The flood in Xuanzhou... Weichen really doesn't know! ”
"Useless stuff."
"Qin'er, I'll leave this matter of pretending to be a royal doctor to you."
Chang Yuanqin: "Yes, Erchen will do his best to handle this matter!" ”
"Jing Chu Jingwen."
Chang Jingchu/Chang Jingwen: "Erchen is here!" ”
"You two brothers, go to Xuanzhou to investigate the local situation and pacify the people so as not to cause a riot."
Chang Jingchu/Chang Jingwen: "Yes! ”
"Lan'er, you have been married for many years, and there is no Zhengjun yet, I am in charge, how about giving you the title of Master Lu to be the Zhengjun?"
Everyone: "!! ”
Chang Yuanli couldn't believe it, his eyes widened, Lu Zijin is the son of the former Taishi, such an excellent person, the mother emperor actually wants to marry him to Chang Yuanlan?
"Thank you for the Emperor's gift!"
After Chang Yue explained the errands of several children, she looked at Chang Yuanli again, "Li'er." ”
"The Mother." She put down the tea bowl.
"I know that over the years, you have worried a lot about your father's affairs, and your body and bones are also tired, and now you have just finished your work, and I won't let you do hard work, just keep an eye on the progress of Dali Temple, and enter the palace to tell me if there is any new news."
"Erchen understood."
Chang Yue scolded Zuo Xiang for Xuanzhou again, and then let them all disperse.
When she left the Heart Cultivation Palace, Chang Yuanqin and Su Yi'an's faces were extremely bad, and this time she could see her status in the heart of the mother emperor clearly.
"What is Your Majesty doing this time? On the surface, letting you investigate this matter thoroughly gives you enough power, secretly, isn't Dali Temple in charge behind these things? Let King Yue look at Dali Temple, isn't it just to give her full authority to do this? Where else did she put you, the princess! ”
Chang Yuanqin said indifferently: "Mother-in-law is angry, this is to be said as a complaint in the house, this is still in the palace, and it is not good for you and me to say it." ”
"Wechen just feels unfair to His Majesty for such blatant partiality."
"My father lost half of his life and gave birth to Yuanli, which doomed this unjust fact." She looked at Chang Yuanli's distant figure and sighed, "Lone and her are fellow fathers, and when the mother queen goes down... She did her good job as the king of Yue and stayed in her fiefdom. If there is a place of trespassing, Lone can follow the example of Emperor Xiwen of the previous dynasty and kill his compatriots. ”
The former Emperor Xiwen was Chang Yue's grandmother in terms of seniority, the daughter of the servant, who had been lurking in the fief for several years, raising troops to plot against and usurp the throne, and after taking office, all the princes and princesses were killed one by one with their families, even the brothers with their own compatriots, and the corpses were thrown in the mass grave.
——
"The mother queen did this, but it made King Wu and King Chen have a gap between the six sisters in the future." Chang Jingchu and Chang Yuanli walked side by side.
"What should the mother do, my title of King Yue is enough to make my sisters jealous." She flicked her sleeves in relief, and she didn't feel comfortable at all in wearing this palace dress.
"This is strange, it stands to reason that the magistrate of Xuanzhou should have reported this matter a long time ago, right?" The more Chang Jingchu thought about it, the more wrong it became, but Chang Yuanli behaved so indifferently, he couldn't say anything more.
"Really? I don't think it'...... weird."
Chang Jingchu wanted to go back to Kunning Palace to visit Meng Qingzhen, so he said goodbye to Chang Yuanli temporarily.
"Your Highness, the sedan chair is ready." Liuli stepped forward and helped her, "According to your orders, the regent has secretly arrived in Beijing yesterday. ”
"People should be on death row, right?"
"It's been early in the morning."
The death row was divided into two quarters, one in the palace and guarded by the Ministry of Works, and the other in the Regent's residence.
She went to death row in the Regent's mansion.
The death row is closed, are the offenders are not easy to deal with, Dali Temple does not want to take care of it and throw it to the death row to manage, here in vain death of the resentful spirits are countless, as soon as you enter, the smell of blood will come to your face.
"Your Highness, according to your orders, the Cao Governor of the Xuanzhou Governor has been placed here." Jiang Chuanmo was dressed in a night suit, and at first glance, he looked like a saddle horse along the way.
"Thank you for your hard work, lead the way."
The prefect of Cao was tied overnight, did not eat for two days, his hands were chained, and his cloak was like a demon.
"I didn't let you abuse him when you brought him back, how can I explain to the mother emperor when he dies?" She took the torture stick handed over by Liuli, and the person on death row took a basin of salt water and threw it on Cao Zhifu's body.
"Ahhhh
"Governor Cao, it's time to wake up, the floods in Xuanzhou have reached His Majesty's ears, you can't play it, how can this be good?"
"You... What did the lower officials do wrong... His Royal Highness the King of Yue... Your Highness is like this..."
"Your Highness, sit down." Liuli brought a chair to make Chang Yuanli more comfortable.
"Tsk... Is that really strange? The king has never gone out to parade, and the painters in the palace have never taken the portrait of the king out of the palace. Where do you know? ”
"Xiaguan... Xiaguan..."
"If you don't report it, your Majesty's reputation outside the country will be stinky, and you will listen to other people's slander, and Your Majesty will blame it... Who can keep you? ”
"Xiaguan... The lower officials were also forced to be helpless! Your Highness! ”
