Chapter 168: Emperor Tuogu

Kyoto has changed!

"Two months ago, the confession of the governor of Anhui Prefecture arrived in Kyoto, and Yu Wenyao's henchmen took the opportunity to attack, pointing the finger at the five princes, all the charges, evidence, and testimony were listed perfectly, and at the court meeting, the intention was to take advantage of the large number of people to force His Majesty to take the five princes on the spot."

"Fortunately, that morning, Your Majesty received your secret recital, and learned the truth about the robbery of disaster relief grain in Anhui and the fact that the governor of Anhui Prefecture committed suicide, so he was not led by their nose.

When Father-in-law An said this, his tone was indignant, he calmed down and continued.

"Your Majesty only then knows that most of the courtiers in important positions in the court have been bought by Yu Wenyao, but it is too late, and Your Majesty is powerless to suppress it. is ready to support the five princes to fight against him, but it is difficult for the five princes to take on the big responsibility. ”

"Your Majesty sees that Yu Wenyao's power is getting bigger and bigger, and the most worrying thing in his heart is the child in the belly of the queen's mother, just half a month ago, the queen gave birth to a concubine, and His Majesty replaced the emperor's concubine with a dead baby prepared in advance."

"Those who know about this have been secretly executed by His Majesty, and the old slave has a chance to escape from the palace. Now that the palace is Yu Wenyao's world, His Majesty is unwilling to put a jade seal on the abdication edict, and is under house arrest in the palace, without worrying about his life for the time being. ”

"The palace has reached such a grim point? How is the queen mother now? Xiao Wenjun's face became more and more serious, and he asked calmly.

"The queen mother learned that she gave birth to a dead baby, she was depressed all day long, and she didn't want to see things and think about people in Kunning Palace, so she moved to the cold palace to eat fasting and chant Buddha all day, and she was already haggard for a few days." Father-in-law An couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

"The matter of the emperor's concubine, the queen mother is still in the dark?"

"Your Majesty, this is also to protect the queen mother and the imperial concubine, so you have to make this decision."

"Hmmm! Your Majesty asked you to come to Shendu to look for me, there should be other things, right? Xiao Wenjun's expression was solemn.

Gonggong An glanced at Xiao Wenjun appreciatively, retracted his expression, and said solemnly: "Xiao Wenjun, take the order!" ”

He carefully took out the secret decree in his arms, and when the emperor handed it to him, he repeatedly instructed: Open it again and again when you see Xiao Wenjun, this secret decree is second only to the life of the emperor's concubine.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, the third prince Yu Wenyao has bad intentions, and I am in prison and unable to raise my young son to adulthood. The lord of Lanling County did not let her eyebrows, she was witty and resolute, and I entrusted my young son to Yuer. ”

"May you be safe and smooth away from strife for the sake of your father!"

After Gonggong An finished reciting this secret decree, he was already in tears, and His Majesty would rather be broken than broken, putting himself in danger. He held the secret decree in his hand in front of Xiao Wenjun, who stood up, but did not accept it.

She walked straight to Xiao Keren's side and pinched the cheek of the imperial concubine, who seemed to like her too, grabbed her fingers, and was amused by her giggles.

"Did Your Majesty name him?" Xiao Wenjun looked at the baby tenderly, but asked Gonggong An.

"The emperor's concubine's name is Yu Wenrui!" Gonggong An looked at the interaction between the two, and his face was also a little moved, the county lord of Lanling and the imperial concubine really have a fate, "Your Majesty hopes that he will have an auspicious life and a bright future in life." County Lord, please take the order! ”

Xiao Wenjun was still indifferent, continued to tease the baby, and said thoughtlessly, "Speaking of which, I am also his sister-in-law, and it is nothing to raise him." ”

Seeing that she had no intention of accepting the order at all, the joy when he saw Xiao Wenjun disappeared instantly, and his heart suddenly became cold, as if he had sunk to an extremely cold place. Was she scared and unwilling to take the order? Could it be that His Majesty and the Empress have mistaken her?

"Yuwen, Rui? Isn't that a royal surname? Xiao Ke'er looked at Xiao Wenjun innocently and asked.

She has taken care of her younger brother since she was a child, and she is the best at taking care of children among them. And the emperor's concubine is very cute, and it makes people happy to see it, so she takes the initiative to take care of the child.

"Yes! Lovely people, what you are holding in your arms is the future son of heaven! Xiao Wenjun seemed to be infected by Xiao Keren's innocence, his tense face line softened a little, and he said with a smile.

"Sister, you must be funny, aren't you?" Xiao Keren smiled, and the originally tense atmosphere in the room became a lot more relaxed.

Father-in-law An suddenly realized, he heard it right just now: Xiao Wenjun said that he was the future son of heaven? No wonder I had to take this secret order!

The emperor's concubine is saved!

The emperor is saved!

Daqi is saved!

When Gonggong An heard this, he cried with joy, and knelt in front of Xiao Wenjun without hesitation: "The county lord understands the righteousness, and An Shi is willing to repay him with death!" ”

"Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? Once Yu Wenyao takes power, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, there is no place for us, so it is better to take advantage of his unstable foundation and kill him by surprise! ”

Wang Jiuyuan didn't say a word from beginning to end, and it wasn't until Xiao Wenjun and Gonggong An finished talking that he gave a deep salute to Gonggong An.

The latter hurriedly avoided it, Gonggong An had been waiting for the emperor in the palace for many years, so he was naturally an expert in observing words and feelings, and when he saw Wang Jiuyuan's expression, he guessed what he wanted to ask.

"Lord Wang, please be relieved, before the old slave left Beijing, Wang Ge Lao had been sick for many days, and he had never participated in political affairs, and the old man had a good reputation, Yu Wenyao did not dare to deal with Wang Ge Lao blatantly, but he just detained the old man in the mansion, and there was no danger of his life for the time being."

"Wang Guifei attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and after learning that the queen mother moved to the cold palace to live, she also went to the cold palace with a big belly to accompany the queen. No matter how many old slaves there are, they don't know. ”

……

Kyoto.

The most proud person in the entire Great Qi Palace is undoubtedly Yu Wenyao.

The first time he tasted the monopoly of power, he was addicted, unwilling to let go easily, and even wanted to bow down to everything, burying himself in a pile of trivial things.

He has now simply moved to the palace, food, clothing, housing and transportation are not half a step away from the palace, and the Zhubi imperial case has also prepared a complete set in the Qin'an Palace, where he handles government affairs, and the Qin'an Palace has once become one of the most frequent palaces.

Late at night, Yu Wenyao was at the desk reviewing the folds.

Jing Yan came in from outside the hall, dusty, and there was tiredness on his face that could not be hidden.

"Your Highness, the minister was entrusted by His Highness and failed to capture An Shi, but when An Shi left Beijing, the burden he took away was very suspicious, and his subordinates felt ......"

"What is the use of this king raising you?" Yu Wenyao rudely interrupted Jing Yan's words, learning from the emperor to release the coercion of the superior, but it was more like painting a tiger from a cat, and he was a little lacking in confidence.

Jing Yan reflexively shrank, in the past year, His Royal Highness's temper has become bigger and bigger, and the former sense of closeness has disappeared since I don't know when, and what remains is a cold master-servant relationship, and His Highness is getting farther and farther away from him.

"Well, what's wrong with the Queen?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, there is nothing unusual, but on the day the queen gave birth, all the palace maids, eunuchs, and stewards in the delivery room, even the midwife, evaporated overnight." Jing Yan reined in his thoughts and replied calmly.
