Chapter 570: The Queen Mother's Awakening
In just a moment, Ah Lu was already waiting a little anxiously outside the council office, since the Queen Mother had a sign to retreat from idleness, she naturally would not stay at the scene to observe, she didn't know what important things Eleven Niang had to tell at this juncture, just by saying a word, but she also expected that it seemed to be related to Gao Yuxiang's leak case, although this matter has nothing to do with national politics, and has nothing to do with King Jin, but it can be seen that it must have offended the Queen Mother, otherwise she would not have been executed immediately, even Jia Sanbao did not dare to make any maintenance of Tu and Gao after hearing the situation, Why does Shi Niang want to wade into this troubled water?
It was easy to look forward to Eleven Niang coming out, but there were many ears and eyes everywhere, Ah Lu didn't dare to ask half a sentence, so he had to hide his concern in his eyes, and when the four eyes met, she saw that Eleven Niang's clear black eyes were still calm, and she secretly breathed out in her throat, immediately lowered her eyelids, and walked in lightly.
The Queen Mother was still seated, seemed to be thoughtful, and her expression was still unpredictable, but the careful Ah Lu saw the Queen Mother leaning slightly on the brocade couch, which showed that the mood was relaxed and not angry, Ah Lu's heart was finally settled, but he still cautiously remained silent, and continued to be a transparent person.
In my heart, I was extremely curious about what happened just now, how did Eleven Niang soothe the anxiety in the Queen Mother's heart, whether Gao Yuxiang, who was sure to die, would turn the corner, and how this extremely strange incident that suddenly happened would end.
The anxiety in the queen mother's heart was indeed relaxed.
What she is most worried about is that her privacy is discovered by the Ruyang King Party, and even suspects that Gao Yuxiang has actually been bought by the King of Ruyang, no wonder, the thief must be weak-hearted, and the Queen Mother is deploying to eradicate the Ruyang King Party, how can she allow any extraneous branches at the critical moment?
Eleven Niang reminded that for the Queen Mother, it was indeed a "mistake".
If Gao Yuxiang was innocent and did not reveal this so-called forbidden secret, but was discovered by others and used as an opportunity to eradicate Gao Yuxiang, then this person hiding in the shadows must not be the king of Ruyang, or even the king of Yichuan, otherwise the death of Tu Dahai and Zhou Ji would not have been exposed so easily, especially Zhou Ji, if she didn't wait for her to extinguish her mouth, it would fall into the hands of others!
There will not even be a matter of the Yuan family's whistleblowing, and the secret scandal of the queen mother of a country who defiles the court will inevitably be widely publicized and cause a boiling of discussions.
But things are still calm so far, so the masterminds behind the scenes are indeed not hostile.
Ruling out this possibility, the Queen Mother was less anxious.
She is thinking carefully now, the truth is nothing more than two, or Gao Yuxiang is really careless and leaks the secret to a good person - the eunuch Chen 13 of the Inner Servant Bureau, Chen 13 is the righteous son of Tu Dahai, and Gao Yushen is also a "brother", maybe it is not Gao Yuxiang who leaked the secret, Chen 13 has always been involved, but Chen 13 leaked this kind of secret to the eunuch in the Yuan Palace, which is the main reason for the anger of the Queen Mother!
She has always trusted Tu Dahai and Gao Yuxiang to be cautious, so she is relieved to hand over this matter to the two of them, but if Chen Shisan has a leaky mouth, Tu Dahai and Gao Yuxiang are relieved to let him participate in this matter, even if it is not a leak afterwards, it is a capital crime.
But Gao Yuxiang refused to admit his guilt, denied the leak, and also denied that Chen Shisan had participated.
Then there is only another possibility, that is, Concubine Yuan found out about this matter from another way, and in order to blame Gao Yuxiang and Tu Dahai, she deliberately fabricated Chen Shisan's leakage.
Although Chen Shisan is the son of the sea, but in private with the concubine "eyebrows", the eunuch in the palace of the concubine, with a small profit, Chen 13 and him are like a rebellion, although the queen mother is now handed over the palace affairs to Lan Jieyu in charge, but she knows everything about this kind of eunuch personal relationship, which is also the fundamental reason why she believes it is true after the concubine tells the truth.
But when she calmed down at this time, the Queen Mother couldn't help but be suspicious.
Tu Dahai and Gao Yuxiang are not ignorant, how can they not observe the two ends of Chen's thirteen rats? If they don't believe Chen Shisan, such as Zhou Ji's affairs, it will never be handed over to those who have two minds, and it is impossible for Chen Shisan to leak it afterwards for Chen Shisan to know, but if Chen Shisan's "eyebrows" with Concubine Yuan were originally instructed by Tu Dahai, then they must also be Tu Dahai's henchmen, even if they participated in Zhou Ji's affairs, how could they really leak it to Concubine Yuan?
He may really be taken advantage of, because of a moment of anger, he unjustly killed Tu Dahai and Chen Shisan!
But the Queen Mother didn't believe that Concubine Yuan Xian had this means, with her consistent understanding of this woman, it was impossible to detect the existence of Zhou Ji, and even if she knew, she couldn't think of such a roundabout way, she would definitely directly target Gao Yuxiang and angrily accuse Gao Yuxiang of leaking secrets, rather than just exposing Chen Shisan's bad rumors and slander.
If Gao Yuxiang is really innocent, then there must be someone behind Concubine Yuan who instigates and instigates it.
This person can only be Yuan Dezhi!
But as a foreign minister, how did Yuan Dezhi know about the privacy in the forbidden area? The Queen Mother is still quite confident in the palace ban that is actually still in charge of herself, it is really hard to believe that Yuan Dezhi will have such eyes and ears, and according to her understanding of Yuan Dezhi, she does not really attach importance to the niece of Concubine Xian, where would she take such a risk for Concubine Xian?
If this matter is related to Yuan Dezhi, the purpose is definitely not to help Concubine Yuan take charge of palace affairs, thinking of the dead Yao Ji, the Queen Mother has to suspect that King Yichuan and Yuan Dezhi are still colluded, but if King Yichuan is really behind the scenes, he has no grudge against Gao Yuxiang, why did he choose this moment? The Queen Mother will be in the place, if she is the king of Yoshikawa, after finding out about this, she will definitely indulge it for the time being, and then use it as an opportunity when she can seek power in the future.
It's just that once the Queen Mother is suspicious, she will not ignore it, and she will definitely get to the bottom of it.
As soon as his mind moved, he wanted to let Alu pass the edict Dou Fu'an to see him, but the words had already reached his mouth, and the Queen Mother swallowed it back.
She suddenly thought that Tu, Gao and Dou Fu'an have always had grievances, Dou Fu'an may not be jealous of Gao Yuxiang, and Dou Fu'an is in charge of the palace ban, compared to Yichuan and Yuan Dezhi, it is more likely to peek into the secrets of the palace, thinking about it, Dou Fu'an has always known his own heart, and he will not carefully examine the map when he is angry, and Chen and the others must be expected by him, but Dou Fu'an is loyal to himself, and he will definitely not tell this secret to the king of Ruyang and other hostiles, which is enough to explain why the outside world is still calm so far...... Executing Yao Ji by himself, with Yuan Dezhi's obedient sense, he must understand that he will not allow him to have a secret relationship with the King of Yichuan, but Yuan Dezhi is quite ambitious, and may find another backer to stabilize his position, Dou Fu'an is not the first choice? If Dou Fuan wanted to eradicate Gao Yuxiang and confess that Yuan Dezhi instigated Concubine Yuan to tell the truth, it would be in line with the situation.
If you want to find out about this case, it seems that Dou Fu'an should be bypassed.
"Ah Lu, you secretly inquire carefully, Concubine Xian has made friends with those insiders, five to ten days ago, have you had a private meeting with Concubine Xian."
Concubine Yuanxian has the support of Enhou and Yuanxiang, especially when the Queen Mother is in the court, it has not been so stop, but she is already a "widow" at this time, and because she has no heirs and is not in charge of palace affairs, she rarely has the opportunity to meet her family, so she bought a few relatively free internal confessions, so as to hand over the message of communication with her family and friends, which is a violation of palace rules, and naturally she can't hide it from the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother did not stop it, but she should not be aware of it.
However, the queen mother suspected that Concubine Yuan was instructed to frame Gao Yuxiang, but Concubine Xian has not met with her family recently, and it is expected that Yuan Dezhi can only pass on information through internal advice, if you want to investigate, it is not without traces to be found, as long as it is confirmed that the internal confession and Concubine Xian or the people who belong to the palace have a private meeting, and use severe torture to force the question, I am not afraid that the question will not be fruitful.
Alu's efficiency is indeed good, it doesn't take half a day to find out an internal confession, the queen mother will carry the person in front of her, no need to torture at all, and ask the person with a straight face to confess, saying that Qiao Jiao's brother handed him a letter five days ago, so that he secretly handed it over to Qiao Jiao.
It's just that the inner counsel didn't know the content of the letter, so the Queen Mother brought Qiao Jiao to the Penglai Hall for personal interrogation, and before evening, Qiao Jiao became a corpse, and Concubine Yuanxian was also grounded by the Queen Mother!
The Queen Mother did not strictly order these two things to be kept secret, but gave the insider an opportunity to report to Yuan Dezhi.
