Chapter 197: Wei Qing'er begged for death
"Miss Qing'er, no!"
With an exclamation, the blood-stained steel knife in Wei Qing'er's hand fell to the ground, and the person shook a few times and fell to the ground.
The steel knife was too heavy, and Wei Qing'er was bent on death, a thin throat was cut immediately, and with the blood gushing out, the whole person instantly collapsed in front of Wang Si.
Wang Si didn't expect Wei Qing'er to be really dead, his eyes were dark, and he also fell to Wei Qing'er's side.
The crowd gathered, and there were people who kept exclaiming.
"I also need to ask Your Majesty to build an ancestral hall for Miss Qing'er."
"Sure enough, she is a chaste martyr, which is rare."
"The Wei family is rebellious, and this Qing'er girl can't be compared with it."
There was a lot of talking.
Chen Yi rushed back quickly when he got the news, and he could only stare at Wei Qing'er's corpse in a daze.
The next morning, the letter to Empress Zhang had already been delivered.
In the letter, in addition to informing Wei Qing'er of the news of her death, there is also news that Wang Si and Tian Yong have been arrested.
Jing'an Palace:
The letter in Empress Zhang's hand fell to the ground.
"The slave maid and Wei Qing'er's sister also knew each other, although she has made great contributions to my Shu Han, but she must be the daughter of a traitor, why should the queen be so sad?" Seeing that Empress Zhang was full of tears, she comforted her.
Empress Zhang didn't speak, and lowered her head to pick up the letter.
Wei Qing'er's death reminded her of the old days.
"My sister doesn't know that in the past, Zhuge Wuhou beheaded General Wei Yan, which caused turmoil in the three armies, and they all said that General Wei Yan's death was unjust, and there were countless defectors because of this. In order to appease the hearts of the three armies, and remembering Wei Yan's exploits during his lifetime, the latter did not kill his entire family, so Qing'er's sister was able to save her life and enter the palace as a companion. It is said that she avenges her father, and after a long time, she will become a big disaster for my Shu Han. Who would have thought that she would be willing to take her life for my Shu Han. General Wei Yan's family has no heirs, how can it not be regrettable to think about it? Empress Zhang said.
Xi Yue was infected by Empress Zhang, and she was also a little sad, but suddenly as if she remembered something, she said, "The slave maid heard that General Wei Yan once had a son with a local village girl when he was alive, but I don't know if it's true or not, where is he now?" ”
"How can the rumors in the market be credulous." Empress Zhang said.
"That's true, but the queen can't just care about sadness, she needs to do big things."
Shame Yue's words reminded Empress Zhang.
"Quickly call Yang Yun here."
Before Empress Zhang's words fell, Yang Yun had already walked in quickly.
"When the servant heard that a letter was sent from Chuyang, he immediately rushed to wait for the summons of the queen at any time."
Empress Zhang nodded.
"Lord Yang Yun will wait for a while, and wait for the palace to take the gold medal given by His Majesty."
The gold medal in Empress Zhang's hand was still given by Liu Yong before he left, and it has been kept in his dormitory, which Liu Yong left for Empress Zhang as a precaution, and now it has come in handy.
When Liu Bei was called the emperor, because there was no jade seal of the country, he once wanted someone to cast eight characters on the gold medal, which was the same as the words engraved on the jade seal, which was used to represent the dignity of the emperor and indicate his determination to continue Liu Han.
It can be said that the gold medal represents the emperor.
This is also the only gold medal given to others by Liu Yong since he succeeded to office.
Not long after, Yang Yun had already come to the outside of the palace with the gold medal in hand.
Huang Yuan, who was stationed outside the palace, was really attentive during this time, taking people to patrol outside all day, but as everyone knows, he has already become a rat in a cage, just waiting for Empress Zhang's order to close the cage door.
It is also this guy who deserves to be unlucky, the people he leads today are all the people who Chen Yi allocated to him later, and these people have already been told by Chen You in advance, and they are just waiting to arrest people according to the order.
Yang Yun stood in front of the palace gate with several forbidden army warriors who were in charge of inspecting the inner palace, looking at Huang Yuan from far and near.
"According to the order of the queen's mother, the servants have been waiting for General Huang Yuan here for a long time." Yang Yun said.
Huang Yuan was slightly stunned.
"Does the queen have anything to tell her subordinates?" Huang Yuan reined in his war horse and asked.
"Presumptuous, knowing that the queen's edict is aimed at this, don't you get off the horse?" The warrior standing behind Yang Yun shouted.
Huang Yuan was startled, and then jumped off the horse.
The soldiers behind him also immediately knelt on the ground.
Yang Yun didn't take out Empress Zhang's edict, but held the gold medal in his hand high.
"Your Majesty's royal gold medal is here, Huang Yuan wants to conspire with Wang Si, Tian Yong and others to plot my Majesty's foundation, and now the two thieves have been captured, and only this thief is here. The queen mother knows that the harem cannot interfere in politics, and specially takes His Majesty's gold medal to carry out His Majesty's orders. Yang Yun said loudly, "The brothers still haven't taken down Huang Yuan's house. ”
Several warriors behind Yang Yun rushed out first, pressing Huang Yuan, who had not yet reacted, to the ground.
Huang Yuan didn't expect things to come so quickly.
"Concubine Ju is harming me!"
Yang Yun sneered.
"The matter of Concubine Ju is handled by the queen and His Majesty, and the person who harmed you is not Concubine Ju, but yourself." As he spoke, Yang Yun looked at the forbidden soldiers who were still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up, "You and the others are all Lord Chen Yi who personally follow the junior colonel, go to the camp quickly to control the army and horses commanded by Huang Yuan, and don't make it chaotic." ”
"The villain and others will obey the edict of the queen." The crowd let out a chorus of shouts and quickly returned to the camp under the leadership of a samurai.
Mourning Ju Palace:
Ru'er ran in in a panic.
"Niangniang Chitose, the big thing is not good, there are suddenly many forbidden army warriors outside, and the palace has been surrounded, and Empress Zhang is also rushing here with people."
Tian Xiju was shocked.
"Are you sure these people are here in my palace?"
"Slave maid......" Before Ru'er's words could be finished, there was a sound of footsteps, and a samurai dressed in clothes had already broken in, and two eunuchs tried to stop him, but were knocked to the ground by the soldiers behind him.
"Why did the general break into my inner palace with a sword?" Tian Xiju's face turned pale and asked.
The samurai did not say a word, and stood aside with his sword in hand.
Not long after, Empress Zhang walked in accompanied by Shayue and others.
"My sister is in the inner palace, but she has done a great job." Empress Zhang's voice was unhurried, but it was like a thunderclap in Tian Xiju's ears.
Tian Xiju knelt on the ground.
"Why did the queen say this?"
Empress Zhang smiled faintly.
"Your brother and Wang Sina have been captured by Lord Chen Yi, and Huang Yuan outside the palace has also confessed to the conspirators, does my sister want my sister to take out your correspondence with Tian Yong?"
Tian Xiju collapsed.
"The general can temporarily detain Concubine Ju Niangniang and everyone in the Mourning Ju Palace in the Yanghe Palace, and tell the Internal Affairs Office not to be lazy, just wait for His Majesty to return and deal with it." Empress Zhang instructed the warrior.
"Wechen obeys." The samurai waved his hand.
The soldiers behind him rushed in.
There are not many people in the palace of Aiju, but there are more than 30 people, except for a few people who have not returned from running errands outside, the rest of them are all arrested, and they are soon escorted to the Yanghe Palace, which has long been crumbling.
The cries of the palace ladies instantly spread throughout the inner courtyard of the palace.
Seeing everyone being escorted away, Empress Zhang subconsciously wiped the sweat on her forehead.
This is the first time that Empress Zhang has exercised the rights of the master of the inner palace, fortunately, Chen Yi has already arranged everything before leaving, otherwise Empress Zhang really doesn't know what to do.
