Chapter 755: Cutting off the king
Palace
At this time, it was late at night, and the emperor had just finished approving the recital, and he suddenly became a little interested, and planned to call a low-ranking and tender concubine to serve in the palace.
Only then did the eunuch bring the concubine sign over, and without waiting for the selection, he saw Zhao Gonggong hurriedly trotting in from outside, his face was still full of sweat, and he was greasy under the candlelight.
When the emperor saw this, he was a little impatient.
"Stand down first!" waved his hand to let the eunuch holding the sign step down, and the emperor condescended, looking directly at Gonggong Zhao, who knelt down to salute him.
"What's the matter with you being so anxious to see me?"
"Even though it's hot in June, you won't sweat so much, right?"
Could it be that this old thing has been in front of him for a long time, forgetting his sense of proportion, and even forgetting this bit of etiquette?
The above thoughts only turned around, and the emperor overturned his speculation in his heart, and secretly thought: "No! This old man is in a hurry to see me, and there must be a big event!"
Eunuch Zhao, who was kneeling in front of him, buried his head very low, but did not speak immediately.
That's not right!
Eunuch Zhao is an old slave beside him, if it is a trivial matter, he will not run to him without saying a word!
"What, what's going on?" the emperor said lightly.
The slave didn't dare to speak. Zhao Gonggong lowered his head and said.
"You old slave, I forgive you for your innocence, say!" the emperor frowned.
The slave still didn't dare to speak. Zhao Gonggong hung his head, but held up a confession high.
Seeing that everything was like this, the old slave was still so afraid, the emperor was shocked, knowing that something big had happened, he grabbed the confession that was held up high, and looked at it.
Gonggong Zhao secretly raised his eyes and took a look, and found that the emperor was frowning at this confession and sneered: "The acting king is a little lucky! The Shuiyun Temple has become a nest of prostitution?
What he said made Zhao Gonggong unable to answer, and the emperor didn't need him to answer, knowing that the following content was the most terrifying, Zhao Gonggong hurriedly lowered his eyes again, knelt in front of the palace, and didn't dare to move.
The emperor continued to watch, and at the beginning he could still be in the mood to think, the good luck of this generation of kings, could it be really the favor of God?
can see that Queen Lu's house maid is also related to Shuiyun Temple, and her face is not so good-looking.
How can King Lu say that he is also his son, but it is not like a acting king, he has been freed outside, and it has been two years before he has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and he is still separated from him by killing his father's hatred, even if he is an ancestor and grandson, it is difficult for the emperor to really like this grandson.
And King Lu is his own son, the son who has been raised for more than 20 years, no matter how affectionate the emperor is, as long as he does not violate the bottom line and does not let him really kill him, he can still have a little father-son affection.
Because of this, the son has a green on his head, and he naturally feels unhappy when he is the father.
It's ugly, that's why the old slave didn't dare to speak?
No, it's not!
The emperor knew that Eunuch Zhao was not such a timid person, so he continued to look down and saw the section of "Concubine Wei" below, and the face that had sunk because of King Lu's family affairs changed color in an instant.
It's like knocking over the palette all at once, and the face is really wonderful!
The eyes that were originally squinting at the confession also shrank sharply, and the hand holding the paper trembled slightly.
Gonggong Zhao shivered and didn't dare to look up, but he was already a little trembling.
Wei Shizu of the previous dynasty, known as the first emperor of the ages, can be regarded as magnanimous, the prime minister once went down to the court, or said, the emperor was slightly angry, and he trembled all over.
The anger of the Son of Heaven, even an old man like Gonggong Zhao who served by the side of the Son of Heaven was still afraid.
In other words, it is precisely because we understand how much power the Son of Heaven has that we will be more in awe.
"Bastard!" There was a brief silence, and suddenly a loud shout resounded through the hall, and the ignited anger rushed straight to the emperor's head, making the emperor's forehead tremble.
He reached out and tore the confession and shouted, "Bastards, they're all bastards!"
Zhao Gonggong was anxious, knelt down and climbed a few steps, and hurriedly persuaded: "The emperor is angry!
The imperial physician has hinted that now the emperor is already in very bad health, and he is all hanging by pills, and he must not be angry, and every anger is a major attrition.
The emperor also knew this, but he still roared: "I also want to take care of the dragon's body, but each piece is piercing my heart, how can I take care?"
Saying that, the emperor suddenly remembered the prophecy of the death of three generations, and he always wondered before, could it be that Taizu borrowed the demon luck so that the demon could make waves in this dynasty?
So he ascended to the throne and tried to suppress the demon luck, but the king of Qi colluded with the demon clan, thinking that he didn't know.
I also suspect that Taizu died early, and the generals and princes have not yet died, and there is a possibility of subversion, so after taking the throne, he emphasized the literature and suppressed the military, and slowly reduced the power of the martial arts, which has basically been completed until now.
When the king came back, he thought, "Should this be in succession?"
The acting king showed an honest and submissive side, and he could do things, although the two kings of Qi and Shu had their own temperament, but they were not incompetent, and they couldn't see that they were the kings of the dead country.
Later, when an accident occurred in the capital, the emperor felt that it was related to the manifestation of the spirit of the shrine? After all, the cave in the ground and the falling boulder from the sky were not trivial matters.
If it weren't for the manifestation of the shrine, let the people of the capital associate the falling stone with the cave, and let the Imperial City Division guide public opinion, I am afraid that I would have to make an edict on that day!
"Concubine Wei went to Shuiyun Temple several times to offer incense, and then there was the King of Shu!"
And now, the emperor looked at this and suddenly had a shuddering thought.
The king of Shu and the king of Qi disappointed themselves, and the acting king did not consider it, he had recently introspected himself, and he already had some thoughts to investigate the king of Lu, but if the king of Lu was not his own son, and passed the throne to him, wouldn't the country fall to outsiders?
Wouldn't this just fulfill the prophecy of the Ji family's death for three generations?
Thinking of this, a rush of fire hit his heart, the emperor's heart beat faster, and he was almost unable to breathe, and he stumbled and almost fainted.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gonggong had already observed, and at this time he was so shocked that he helped him up, he had experience, and he was busy taking out a small medicine bottle, that is, the tea was fed to Xiao Huandan.
Xiao Huan Dan is still effective, after a while, the emperor's expression gradually eased, but Zhao Gonggong was not happy, and he was worried that the medicinal effect of this Xiao Huan Dan was getting shorter and shorter.
The emperor opened his eyes, glanced around, sighed deeply, and said, "I am old...... Old ......"
After saying that he didn't speak for a long time, he just looked at the imperial study, as if he was pondering, I don't know how long it took, his expression calmed down, and suddenly, his voice was small and clear: "You go to pass the decree, cut off the title of Concubine Wei, cut off the title of King Lu, and you are all confined to the palace." ”
"Ah?" Zhao Gonggong burst out in a cold sweat, this morning the emperor also praised King Lu for being "well-organized and living up to my expectations", and in less than four hours, he suddenly cut off the knight and imprisoned him, and he almost didn't dare to serve this edict.
The great eunuch before the emperor met did not dare to give the edict, and waved his hand: "I am not confused, and I will not deal with this for this uncertain trivial matter." ”
"But I am old, and many hidden dangers must be removed in advance. ”
"King Lu, I am convinced, but only by cutting off the title can we test his bloodline, or there will be confusion...... If he is found innocent, I will restore his lordship, you go and carry it out, first pass on the word, and the official will will come to me to get it. ”
"Yes. Zhao Gonggong was slightly relieved, looked at the emperor and said nothing, and withdrew.
