As the saying goes, it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, not to become a famous overlord.

Zhu Qiyu not only had to fall into the well and smash the water dog, but also completely seal the wellhead so that the water dog could no longer climb up.

Wang Jin, Hao Yi, and Ruan Xi, the three great eunuchs, led the three Zongzheng, as well as Wang Wen, Wei Ji, and Xiao Weizhen, all the way unhindered and came to the Yinghua Palace.

Now all the big eunuchs in the inner court are all Zhu Qiyu's people, and they can't be seen by the Empress Dowager Sun.

But Wang Jin and the others still ordered people to report in an orderly manner, and only after getting Sun's permission did they take everyone into the palace.

King Qin and the others carefully observed, only to see that the palace was still full of all kinds of rare treasures, and there were more than 20 eunuchs and palace maids waiting carefully.

King Qin and the others nodded secretly, this Yinghua Hall is not the same as they imagined, it seems that the emperor has maintained the dignity that the royal family should have, and has not abused the Sun family.

Sun was assassinated by a little eunuch and stabbed several times with scissors, but it was not fatal. Now that the emperor sent people to force the palace, Sun chose to force the palace people to help out, sit down on the chairs, and then summon everyone in.

The kings of Minshan and Dongwu County all chose not to kneel, but just bowed. The others still barely knelt down.

After the quarrel between the two sides, the king of Qin went on official business, relayed the process of the meeting of the relatives to the Sun family in detail, and presented the testimony and confession to the Sun family.

After hearing this, Sun only sighed heavily, but he didn't intend to refute it.

Sun saw it very clearly, the emperor sent so many prestigious clan relatives and ministers to come over to negotiate a deal: he obediently confessed his guilt and subdued the law, and confirmed the seven major crimes listed by his father.

In return, the emperor could spare his father's great-grandson, Sun Ming, as well as three grandchildren and one granddaughter.

The chief officials of the Minwang, the Dongwu Junwang, the Qinwang, and the Sanfa Division are the witnesses, and once the deal is reached, both parties must not repent, otherwise it will be discredited and ridiculed in the world.

King Qin and the others did not urge, so they quietly waited for Sun's statement.

The Sun family had no choice, the Sun family was now betting outside the noon gate, and Sun Ming was among them. It is clear that the emperor is going to be executed today.

As for whether Sun Ming is dead or not, it is all in Sun's thoughts.

If the Sun family dies and does not admit guilt, then the emperor waved his hand, and all the heads of the Sun family fell to the ground.

If the Sun family obediently confesses, the emperor can spare Sun Ming's life, and the rest of the Sun family will go on the road.

This is the emperor's conspiracy.

Sun sighed to everyone: "It's okay to confess to this palace, and this palace has no other requirements, I just hope that the emperor can stay in this palace's nephew Sun Ming, and the eldest brother's three concubines have a way out." I wonder if you are willing to be sure? ”

King Min replied: "The queen mother can rest assured, the emperor has a word, and the Marquis of Huichang has made a meritorious report, so he can open the net and leave a future for him." The old man is willing to use his life as a guarantee. ”

Sun nodded: "Since the uncle is willing to be the guarantor, then there is naturally no reason for the palace not to believe." ”

The king of Dongwu County, the king of Qin, Wang Wen and others also expressed their willingness to be guarantors.

Seeing this, Wang Jin motioned to Ruan Xi. Ruan Xi hurriedly ordered the palace people to move the table and prepare paper and pencils.

Wang Jin and others respectfully knelt on the ground and persuaded: "Please ask the Queen Mother to write a decree and tell the world." ”

Sun frowned, what you said is very good, don't you just let me write a confession myself, after this so-called edict is written, I will be completely ruined.

But there is no way, the knife is in someone else's hands, and it is not possible not to write.

Sun trembled and finished writing the confession and used the seal again.

Sun was already injured, and he was exhausted until now. After writing it, he signaled that everyone could retire.

However, Wang Jin still knelt on the ground and asked: "Empress Dowager Qi, since you have confessed your guilt, it is not appropriate to hold the Empress Dowager's seal again."

After His Majesty led all his relatives and hundreds of officials to obey the decree of the Queen Mother, he will issue an order to depose the Queen Mother, and ask the Queen Mother to hand over the seal to the slave maid now. ”

Sun waved his hand weakly and motioned for Wang Jin to take the jade seal.

When they had finished their errands, they bowed and took their leave, and turned to leave.

Walking to the door, Sun suddenly stopped everyone: "What will the emperor do with this palace?" ”

The crowd turned and looked at each other, no one willing to answer the question.

Sun snorted coldly: "Wang Jin, just say it directly, at this point, there is no need to hide it anymore, this palace knows that you know everything." ”

Wang Jin had no choice but to reply respectfully: "Your Majesty will depose the Empress Dowager and Empress Xuanmiao at the same time, and demote her to the position of Concubine Xuanmiao." and imprisoned for life in the Yinghua Palace, and will be buried in the eastern suburbs as a concubine in the future, and shall not be buried with the Xuan Temple. ”

When Sun heard this, he was in a hurry, the wound cracked, and his body fainted when he was crooked.

Wang Jin instructed Ruan Xi: "In the past, you stay to find a doctor for your mother, and you must not make your mother miss something, otherwise you are the only one who asks." ”

Ruan Xi hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, godfather, my son knows the severity." ”

Wang Jin nodded and led everyone away.

As for the emperor's disposition of the Sun family, everyone did not express any opinion.

Among these people who came to the palace, except for King Qin and Xiao Weizhen, they were all close associates of the emperor.

In the eyes of King Qin, when the Empress Dowager Sun buried Empress Hu in the western suburbs with the ceremony of concubines, and today the emperor decided to bury the Sun family in the eastern suburbs with a concubine ceremony in the future.

If you insist on comparison, the emperor's burial of the concubine is much more decent than the burial of the Empress Dowager Sun to the concubine of Empress Hu, which can be regarded as repaying grievances with virtue.

However, it was said that after King Qin and the others went to the Yinghua Palace, everyone in Fengtian Square began to wait on the spot, because there was no result in the case of Empress Dowager Sun, so there was no way to continue the following topics.

Because the people in the Ministry of Rites are almost dead, and the emperor does not allow Jinyiwei to appear in the Forbidden City today, no one emphasizes etiquette.

Everyone began to look left and right, talking to each other, speculating about the Empress Dowager Sun's response and the next trend of the meeting of the relatives.

Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair, like sitting on pins and needles. As a loser, sitting on the dragon chair on the top is actually a kind of torture.

Zhu Qizhen looked at everyone chattering below, as if he was pointing fingers, ridiculing and ridiculing him.

Zhu Qiyu didn't interfere with the people below at all, but hugged his little favorite concubine and whispered.

Ning Xiang's face was flushed with shame, she buried her head in Zhu Qiyu's arms, and replied in a buzzing voice: "The slave family is so itchy, itchy that I can't sit still, my husband is really the worst and most vicious slave owner in the world." ”

Zhu Qiyu retorted with a look of resignation: "The bad things are all done by the two little girls Qianxue and Suxi, I am a good person." In this way, when we go back in the chariot, let's torture the two of them. ”

Ning Xiang raised her head when she heard this, her face was red but she retorted firmly: "That's not good, when you go back, you have to tie the slave family to the ring, and you can't take the Qi Country Avenue anymore, master, let's take a bumpy road, okay?" ”

Zhu Qiyu was speechless when he heard this: "Okay, since you like to be tortured so much, then do whatever you want." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Qiyu suddenly felt the beautiful woman in his arms twisting her slender waist. So he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Concubine Ai?" ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, she reluctantly admired: "You little girl, you are becoming more and more feminine." When the meeting is over, I have to take you and the royal family to talk about their friendship and win them over. ”

When Ning Xiang heard this, she was so ashamed that she gently twisted Zhu Qiyu's arm a few times, and Zhu Qiyu laughed out loud in a comfortable mood.

The people at the bottom of the steps only saw the concubine Niangniang blushing and pulling with the emperor, but they couldn't hear what was being said above. Everyone just sighed that the emperor really favored his concubines, no wonder the emperor was willing to kill all the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the show girls selected by the Ministry of Rites for them.

Zhu Qizhen is not so comfortable, others can't hear what the emperor and favorite concubine are saying, but he can occasionally hear a few words. What chariots, rings, this, that,

Zhu Qizhen didn't know what 'this' and 'that' were, but he knew what a chariot and a ring were, after all, when he was hunting in Wara, his younger brothers and sisters gave him a chariot like that.

Zhu Qizhen just couldn't understand that before he hunted in the north, he was a thorough upright gentleman. During his fourteen-year reign, he always devoted himself to cleaning up the mess for his father. Why in the end, he can't compare to his ridiculous brother.

According to the Confucian scriptures and the words of the sages, isn't the younger brother a proper faint king? It is simply the same kind of King Shang and King Zhou You.

Looking at the two princesses of Xiaoqi chatting with Concubine Wu and the eldest princess of Yongjia with a smile on their faces, and then thinking about their queens and concubines, Zhu Qizhen sighed heavily, and was even more unconvinced. Why do you act like a decent man and a gentleman, but you are dead and alive in the harem, and you are beaten into a pot of porridge. And the younger brother is so ridiculous, but the harem is harmonious, and there is never a fight. It's so incomprehensible.

Zhu Qizhen lived like a year in the entanglement, and it was easy to suffer for most of the hour, and King Min, King Qin and others returned to Fengtian Square with the Empress Dowager's decree.

The audience was suddenly silent, and Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, signaling King Qin to read out the Empress Dowager's decree.
