Chapter 257: Infernal Affairs
After dealing with Yuntao in the Zichen Palace, the emperor and a group of ministers hurried to the hospital to visit the second prince.
"Shufei, how is Yundi's situation?"
As soon as I entered the door of the hospital, I saw Concubine Shu sitting on the edge of the bed secretly wiping her tears.
"The concubine knocks on the emperor!" Hearing the emperor's voice, Concubine Shu didn't care about tidying up her makeup, and hurriedly got up to say hello.
"Love the concubine is exempt." The emperor stepped forward quickly, picked up the saluting concubine, and asked with concern, "How is the situation with Yundi?" Have you ever woken up? ”
"Your Majesty." Thinking of the situation of the second prince at this time, Concubine Shu couldn't help but shed tears, with a thick nasal voice in her voice, "Imperial Doctor Yun Di's life is dying, fortunately, Gonggong Gui used his internal strength to protect his heart, so that the breath in Yun Di's mouth did not dissipate." Now I can only hang with medicine, and when I wake up can only be left to fate. ”
"Hey!" The emperor sighed heavily, not knowing what he meant by this sigh.
"Don't worry about the concubine." The emperor said kind words to reassure, "Yun Di is strong in martial arts, and has suffered countless major injuries, I believe that Yun Di Ji people have their own appearance!" It's going to get better. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Shu wiped away the tears that had not fallen off and were still swirling in her eyes with a silk handkerchief, plopped, and knelt on the ground in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, that Bi Yuntao and Yun Di are siblings, but they are vicious, regardless of the feelings of their siblings, Yun Di was seriously injured and almost killed, Yun Di has not woken up so far, and please ask the emperor to severely punish Bi Yuntao and make decisions for his concubines!"
"Lady, hurry up!" The emperor hurriedly supported Concubine Shu and said solemnly: "Concubine Shu, don't worry, I will definitely punish him severely." ”
"I have understood the whole story, both of them are at fault, but Bi Yuntao's fault is even more serious, and the son is guilty of the same crime as the common people, so I have stripped Bi Yuntao of the title of King of Qi and expelled him from Beijing."
"Shun Nian is about to arrive on Chinese New Year's Eve, so he is allowed to resign from the imperial concubine, and Shun has ordered that he must leave the capital no later than tonight."
"Yun Di is so miserable, why didn't he arrest that Bi Yuntao and put him to death, but instead expelled him from Beijing? Your Majesty, this punishment is too understatement! Are you so worthy of Yun Di being born and dying for you? ”
"Are you questioning me?" The emperor's face changed, his eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a terrifying cold.
"The concubine doesn't dare!" Concubine Shu realized it later, only then did she realize that she was a little open-mouthed, and hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake, "The concubine was just worried about Yun Di, so she panicked, and she didn't choose her words for a while, offending the emperor." ”
Hearing Concubine Shu's explanation, the cold aura of the emperor quietly dissipated, and once again lifted Concubine Shu up from the ground, with a look of shame on his face.
"Ai Concubine, it's not that I don't want to arrest Bi Yuntao, but he is also my son, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, if Yun Di is not revived by the imperial doctor, then I will execute Bi Yuntao again, and in one moment, I will lose two sons at the same time."
"Aifei, you are also considerate and considerate of me, I also have my own difficulties, I really can't bear to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person."
"But!" The emperor's words changed, "Bi Yuntao's behavior is too vicious, so I hereby order to demote him to a commoner." ”
Those who have no heart, but those who listen have hearts.
This sentence was degraded to the common people, which made Concubine Shu's heart move slightly. Without the imperial title, he Bi Yuntao is nothing. Without the protection of the emperor, what kind of storm can he Bi Yuntao withstand?
For a while, Concubine Shu's thoughts spread, making her own considerations.
"I have other things to do, I'll come to visit Yundi tomorrow, and Concubine Lao will have to worry about it here."
As if he hadn't discovered Concubine Shu's heart, the emperor sat in the hospital for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.
"The concubine sends the emperor!" Concubine Shu got up to see her off.
As the emperor and others left, the hospital fell silent.
"Come in!" Sure that the emperor would not go and return, the sad expression on Concubine Shu's face disappeared, and she turned to a grim face.
"Squeak!"
Hearing Concubine Shu's voice, the door of the Tai Hospital was quietly pushed open from the outside, and a tall man in armor appeared inside the room with sharp steps.
"!" The man's voice was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
"General Liu, I heard what the emperor said just now!"
"My subordinates can hear it clearly!"
"Then you don't need to be in the palace more, the second prince was seriously injured by him, and now he has been demoted to a commoner by the emperor and expelled from Beijing, it is a good opportunity for us to do it, don't let the second prince chill."
"My subordinates understand." General Liu nodded, "Niangniang, you can rest assured, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, Niangniang has the grace of supporting her subordinates, and she will do her best." ”
"That's fine, the detailed arrangement will be handed over to General Liu, the palace is deep in the palace, it is not appropriate to participate too much, now Yun Di is in a deep coma, and the palace can't move half a step."
"Niangniang can take care of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I, Liu, do something, others don't know, Niangniang, don't you know?"
"There's General Law!"
"Mother, my subordinates retire!" Seeing that Concubine Shu didn't mean to speak, General Liu retreated with interest.
Liu Jianzhong walked out of the hospital and couldn't help but take a sip, "What is it, use Lao Tzu as a knife!" It's okay if nothing happens, but as soon as something happens, Lao Tzu will be the first to be sold. ”
"However, things still have to be done, and if you are passive and slack off, you will be left behind."
Liu Jianzhong touched his chin, his eyes rolled, and he thought of a way to deal with the past.
Coming out of the Tai Hospital, Liu Jianzhong did not return home, but turned around and came to the imperial study.
"Liu Jianzhong has seen Your Majesty!"
"Get up, what's going on over there?"
When the emperor saw Liu Jianzhong, he didn't care about the difference between the monarch and the minister, and hurriedly came to Liu Jianzhong to help him up from the ground.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Jianzhong thanked him, "Sure enough, Concubine Shu is really as you are, ready to make a move against King Qi tonight." ”
"Hahaha, not bad!" The emperor was very satisfied with this result and couldn't help laughing.
"Details of how it was arranged with Concubine Shu."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu handed over all the matters to Weichen and did not give any explanation." Liu Jianzhong replied.
"Oh?" The emperor glanced at Liu Jianzhong strangely, and looked up and down, "Concubine Shu trusts you quite a lot!" I leave everything to you alone. ”
"Your Majesty, don't make fun of Weichen." Liu Jianzhong smiled bitterly, "Weichen is in Cao Ying, his heart is in Han, what the second prince has done over the years, Weichen can't stand it." ”
"Abducted and trafficked women and children, cultivated Deadpool privately, and was tired of chatting about women, who were either sent by him to be military prostitutes or sent to the Qinglou he ran. looted money in the name of spinning, and even many bandits were personally supported by him. ”
"Hey!"
All the emperor's thousand words turned into a sigh.
"I know that he is doing evil, but I just can't find any evidence, the mouse hidden in the dark has never missed any clues, there are really not many people I can trust, only Zuo Xiang and you are the only ones at present."
"Your Majesty, could it be that General Xia and the right minister are ......" Liu Jianzhong didn't dare to say the next words, if it was true, then the whole of China was really in danger.
"I don't know!" The emperor shook his head, "Bi Yundi has been in the army since he was a child, and he has always followed Xia Wei in the army, and now his outstanding military exploits are inseparable from Xia Wei's help. No one is good, only whether there is Xia Wei's participation and support in it. ”
"As for the right minister, I still believed in it at first, but after Bi Yuntao slaughtered the Han family, I no longer trusted him."
Why is that? What does King Qi's slaughter of the Han family have to do with the right minister? Liu Jianzhong was full of doubts, "Is it just because Han Lao is his teacher?" But Zuo Xiang is also a student of Han Lao! ”
"Hey! Have you forgotten what the relationship between the right minister and the Han family is? The emperor did not directly answer Liu Jianzhong's question, but threw out another question.
"Relationship?" Liu Jianzhong thought about it, and involuntarily thought of the woman who made Bi Yuntao lose his temper at today's ceremony. Suddenly, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
"That's right! Just what you think! When the emperor saw the expression on Liu Jianzhong's face, he knew that he had understood what was going on, and said with certainty.
"Weichen is so stupid that he almost forgot that the Liu family and the Han family are in-laws. But it's a pity, Liu Shiying, the daughter of the right minister, got married early, and just after the wedding ceremony, she hadn't even seen her face, and her husband was sent to guard the border. finally came the news of him, but what came was the bad news that people had died. A good woman is a widow like this! ”
Thinking of Liu Shiying's tragic life experience, Liu Jianzhong couldn't help but sigh.
"But shouldn't the right minister thank King Qi? King Qi wiped out the entire Han family, but he rescued Liu Shiying from the dire situation, why do you think Your Majesty that the right minister is involved with the second prince? ”
"Humph! Rescued? The emperor snorted disdainfully, "If Liu Shiying hadn't gone to celebrate Meng Ruoxi's birthday and stayed in Mengfu, I'm afraid she would have gone down that night to find her husband who she had never met." ”
"Although it was a fluke to stay in Mengfu, the right minister was still a little dissatisfied. You also know how Liu Shiying has come over the years, she has been criticized by others, and there are rumors outside that she is Kefu and killed his husband, and now the Han family has been destroyed, and there is no living mouth, only she survived, what do you think outsiders will do to her? So that's why I don't trust the right minister. ”
"It's been a long time since I've confided in anyone, and this time I did, my heart was no longer as gloomy as before, but a lot more relaxed. I have to thank Jianzhong a lot this time. ”
"Your Majesty has won the award, and it is the duty of the micro-minister who solves problems for His Majesty."
The emperor patted Liu Jianzhong's shoulder with relief, "Okay, let's go down!" You know what to do after that! As long as it doesn't hurt Bi Yuntao's life, he lets you toss. And all the contents of what I have and you have done now, only you and I know, but whoever dares to pass it on to the third Rao, you know my means. ”
"Wechen understands!" Liu Jianzhong's face turned pale, and he hurriedly made a guarantee, "Weichen is not a reckless person, he knows the seriousness of the matter. ”
