Chapter 202. father and son
The queen's face was extremely pale: "The third elder brother is not that kind of person, he has always been steady. β
"I've always been steady, I'm afraid it's just a faΓ§ade." Concubine Jing said in a soft tone.
An Lingrong was already seated next to the emperor at this time, she lowered her eyes and glanced at the noble Ying, only to see that she was crying so much that her face was pale, but she inadvertently blinked her eyes at An Lingrong.
No one here noticed that the queen was still arguing: "The third elder brother is young and doesn't understand personnel, so he must be a cheap maid to seduce him." β
Ying Guiren cried a lot, but his words were very clear: "Your Majesty, there are no concubines!" Concubines don't! It was the third elder brother, he had pestered the concubine in the imperial garden, saying that the song "Evil Spirit" played by the concubine on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was carefully choreographed by him, for this reason, the concubine also scolded him for not doing his job properly as a concubine, but he said to himself and didn't listen at all. No, the concubine can only avoid it again and again......"
"Yes, the scene of the third elder brother pestering the noble people of Ying, the concubine and Concubine Xin have seen it, but now they are all right." Concubine Jing sighed and said, "You avoided it, but he refused to give up, and wrote to you to pour out his feelings." The third elder brother is obsessed with his mind, and he even ignores the ethics of people, which is really ridiculous. β
The queen was angry, and looked at the noble Ying with sharp eyes: "The person was picked up by the Guojun Palace, what good can a rough cheap maid be, the concubine thinks that the third elder brother must be innocently implicated in this matter." β
"But now that everyone is stolen, this letter is the third elder brother's handwriting." Concubine Jing also bit it.
"Then it must be the who seduced first." The queen spoke sharply, and made it clear that she was going to splash dirty water on the Ying nobles.
"Alright, stop arguing." The emperor scolded coldly, interrupting the argument between the queen and Concubine Jing.
The queen was anxious and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, don't wronged your own son!" β
The hall was quiet for a moment, only the sobbing sound of the noble people from time to time remained, and after a long time, the emperor looked at her with deep eyes, and said word by word: "You misbehaved, seduced the prince, and I gave you a break." β
"Your Majesty, there are really no concubines!" Ying Guiren cried out bitterly and collapsed to the ground.
"You've told you all about the cause and effect, and I don't want to hear it anymore." The emperor looked cold, "Su Peisheng, take it down and give Bai Aya." β
Ying Guiren trembled, and even his crying paused for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Ying Gui is beautiful, Bai Aya's death is not only ugly, but the process is also very painful, and I ask the emperor to give her a bar." An Lingrong opened his mouth lightly, his eyes full of unbearability.
The emperor nodded casually: "It's okay." β
Su Peisheng got the will, raised his hand and asked the guards to drag out the noble Ying who was still crying and begging.
Concubine Jing was a little unconvinced: "The emperor ......" anyone with a discerning eye can see that today's events are right and wrong, she can't believe that the emperor would turn black and white so upside down for the third elder brother, and I haven't seen how much the emperor likes the third elder brother on weekdays.
"Alright." The emperor raised his eyes and glared at Concubine Jing fiercely, and then looked at the queen angrily, "You have let Hongshi kneel in Fengxian Hall for most of the day, and today's matter is over, I don't want to hear a gossip in the palace......"
The queen's heart slowly fell back to its original position, and she knew that no matter how angry the emperor was, he would take care of the royal face, but in the future, the third elder brother would inevitably be left out in the cold, but it didn't matter, as long as she was there, the emperor would forgive the third elder brother sooner or later. The queen's eyes flickered, and suddenly fell on An Lingrong, and her heart suddenly stopped, and a sense of unease spread in her heart for no reason.
An Lingrong was looking bored flipping through the letter, and suddenly stopped moving, and brought the back of the letter to his eyes to take a closer look: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this letter." She held the letter in front of the emperor, "The ink on the back of this letter seems to say that Yin Shi is a moment, a secret meeting or something." β
The emperor's eyebrows jumped, and he sat up on the ground: "Take it to me." Looking at the skylight, there were a few strokes, like the handwriting that had penetrated from another piece of paper, not very clear, but I could guess what was written, and in an instant, the emperor's face became extremely difficult to see, "Su Peisheng, go and stop the noble Ying!" β
The queen couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, and got up and wanted to step forward to take a look, but was interrupted by the emperor's actions.
"What a good son raised by the queen!" The emperor slammed the letter on the queen's face, the movement was not big, but it was enough to make the queen faceless.
The queen's lips were pale, and she turned over the letter with shaking hands to read it carefully, and the emperor's voice was as deafening as thunder: "In the past two months, I have reprimanded him and taught him several times, but he has refused to study hard, thinking about how to make friends with ministers and how to take care of government affairs, and completely forgetting what to do as a son of man and a minister!" β
"Your Majesty, the third elder brother, he will never dare to spy on the imperial front!" The queen panicked, and hurriedly knelt down and said, with tears in her eyes, "This must be that framing the third elder brother!" I can't tell...... Maybe this was arranged by King Guojun, didn't the first emperor also want him to be the crown prince? "The more she talked, the smoother it became," King Guojun instigated the nobles to seduce the third elder brother and ruin the emperor's reputation, and on the other hand, he instructed her to spy on the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven, intending to take the throne, and his wolf ambition was clearly revealed! β
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.
Su Peisheng came in at this time and replied: "Your Majesty, the noble Ying has already committed suicide by drinking. β
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, the person is already dead, that is, there is no proof of death, and what the truth is, it only depends on what the living person says.
However, An Lingrong would not let it go easily, she pretended to think for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, the concubine listened to the fourth elder brother in Yongshou Palace a few days ago, saying that the third elder brother has often gone to the Zongren Mansion recently, could it be that he heard what people said before he moved his mind?" If this is the case, the emperor should persuade the third elder brother well, how can he listen to the words of the ministers and thieves. β
The muscles on the emperor's face twitched fiercely: "Su Peisheng, the third elder brother Xuan came to the Heart Cultivation Hall to reply." He looked at the queen with heavy eyes, and there was a majesty in his voice that she could not refuse, "The queen will go to the back and rest for a while, I have something I want to talk to Hongshi alone." After speaking, he didn't wait for the queen to answer, and looked at An Lingrong again, "You and Concubine Jing accompany the queen, don't make a sound, just listen carefully." β
"Yes, the concubine understands." An Lingrong got up and comforted the emperor again, "Don't be angry, the emperor is his own son, scold and beat him twice, just teach him a lesson." β
The queen was so angry that her face turned red, and she sat down behind the screen with the corners of her mouth tightly pursed, while An Lingrong and Concubine Jing sat hand in hand on the other side, and the three of them were silent.
I don't know how long it took, the curtain of the side hall was opened, and the three Elder Brothers shrank in, and An Lingrong and the three of them also heard his trembling greetings: "Erchen asked Huang Ama to ask for ......."
The emperor did not answer, and the palace suddenly fell silent again.
Such a quiet air seemed to have condensed frost, and the queen only felt that the blood in her whole body was condensed inch by inch, and she shivered involuntarily with the cold.
"I, I've already executed the noble Ying." The emperor's voice sounded coldly, "I know that Noble Ying is wronged, but in order to protect you, I can only wronged her." β
"Huang Ama......" The third elder brother's cry came one after another, and he whimpered sadly, "It's the sons who are confused, the sons and daughters, the sons ......."
"I want to know you, and I will live a long life." The emperor suddenly read a sentence written in the letter, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Are you looking forward to a long life with her, are you looking forward to my early funeral?" You feel that I am old, and you are about to have it at your fingertips in this world, so you start to think about things that you shouldn't think! For the sake of a, you dare to hope that I will die early! β
A clear slap came, and the queen's face turned pale suddenly, and her hands clasped the armrests tightly.
"Erchen has no such intention! Emperor Ama Mingjian! The third elder brother kowtowed, begging word by word, "Asking for forgiveness from Emperor Ama is all the fault of the sons, noble Ying...... Ying Guiren is innocent......"
"Of course she's innocent, and you killed her." The emperor gasped heavily and sat back, "Because you don't know the height of the sky, you don't know the discipline of human ethics, because you are bold and covetous, the woman who covets the Son of Heaven, the woman of your emperor Amma!" β
The third elder brother just whimpered and sobbed.
The emperor softened his tone slightly: "But you are my son, I can't protect you for the sake of a woman." I forgive you, not only because you are my eldest son, but also because you are a descendant of Aisin Jueluo, and I cannot afford to lose the face of the royal family. He changed his words, and suddenly spoke when the third elder brother was the most defenseless, "I heard that a few days ago, you often went to the Zongren Mansion to visit Yun Yu and them?" β
"Yes, the sons, like the emperor Amma, also take care of the royal face." The third elder brother wiped a handful of tears, sobbed and replied, "The emperor's grandmother is newly mourned, and the eighth uncle and the ninth uncle are locked up in the Zongren Mansion, which is very pitiful. β
"You're very kind-hearted." The emperor's voice could not be heard happy or angry.
"Huang Ama, the eighth uncle made a big mistake, no matter how he was punished, it should be punished, but the sons under the knees of the first emperor are all the brothers and sisters of the emperor Ama, and the sons think that if the first emperor is alive, he must also want to see the prosperity of the descendants of Aixin Jueluo, just like Huang Ama, father and son are filial piety, brothers and friends are respectful." The third elder brother thought that he was speaking seamlessly, and there was even a bit of a smile in his voice for the rest of his life.
Stupid, just stupid.
The queen closed her eyes fiercely, unable to bear to listen any further.
"What else?" The emperor asked in a deep voice.
Everyone could hear that the emperor was already angry, and the third elder brother still didn't know: "There is also the fourteenth uncle, Huang Ama, the fourteenth uncle is the uncle of Erchen, the sibling brother of Huang Ama, but he has been imprisoned." Erchen remembered that when the first emperor was there, the thirteenth uncle was imprisoned, and the emperor Ama still pleaded with the first emperor hard, and the fourteenth uncle was the most beloved son of the emperor's grandmother, but the emperor's grandmother died, but he couldn't come to send a ......"
"Bang!"
The emperor threw the string of beads in his hand to the ground violently, and was furious: "Evil obstacles! Do you think I'm unfilial to the Queen Mother? He stepped down from the couch and kicked the third elder brother hard, "Brother and brother, I am not friendly, so my younger brothers are not respectful, father and son are filial, I am not loving, so you are not filial!" I am your emperor, Ama, for the sake of your reputation, I will not hesitate to give death to the nobles, but you! The emperor almost roared, "You are my son, but you keep defending the guilty minister!" β
The third elder brother was stunned, and shouted "Erchen don't dare".
"At the beginning of my ascension to the throne, you saw how your eighth and fourteenth uncles made things difficult and disrespectful everywhere, but today, you are the opposite, you want to intercede for the people who hurt me, collude with them, and disobey me!" The emperor slapped the table fiercely, "Your imperial mother is running for you, I just hope that you will become the prince as soon as possible, you really don't lose it to her, and now you are also looking forward to my early death, so that I can replace it as soon as possible, right?" β
The third elder brother was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and the queen could still sit still, walked out quickly, knelt on the ground and said: "The emperor is Mingjian, the concubine has no such heart!" β
The emperor ignored her, and only looked at the third elder brother, with unconcealed pain in his eyes: "Hongshi, you are my eldest son, although you are weak and talented, but I have always disciplined and treated you everywhere, and God has no mercy, and I have taught the sons of a few people." The emperor raised his voice suddenly, "Since you want to intercede for your eighth uncle, go and be his son!" β
As for the end - yes, it will probably be over at the end of this month or the beginning of next month.
