Chapter 67: The Cunning Rabbit Hole
"Ge Chen, I remember that you are the deputy general of your father's army, so I transferred you to serve in the military palace, and now I am in Gyeonggi to supervise, this errand is extraordinary, I hope you have a more clear mind, what should be done and what should not be done, I am afraid you know in your heart, I will no longer pursue today's affairs, the eldest brother is the assistant government, the emperor's brother is in charge of the country, I also want to take a look at their loyalty, and the matter of meeting today cannot be known to anyone, I am the master for you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ge Chen was sweating profusely, Su Yu had many old subordinates, and now that the position he was guarding was empty of the order of the country, it was not stable, and when he heard the emperor say this, he immediately kowtowed again and again.

Unlike the inn, the scorching atmosphere of the Guangci Hall is chilling.
"That's it!" the Queen Mother stopped everyone's words in a deep voice, knowing that it would be in vain to stalemate any longer, "Some of you are the emperor's ancestors, some are the emperor's uncles, and they are also the family members of the mourning family, and it is human nature to observe the emperor's physical practice, but the mourning family does not hide from the emperor, and now the emperor is not in the palace, and the mourning family has been secretly placed to prevent anyone from speculating in the camp......"
"That's the queen mother's fault!" King Pan immediately interrupted the queen mother's words, "Where and how the emperor is placed, it should be in the previous court; in this way, there is neither the emperor nor the queen and the crown prince in this palace, I don't know if the queen mother intends to monopolize the government or is she playing tricks? Could it be that there is no queen and prince in this world, but the queen mother said it out of thin air?"
"Presumptuous!" the Queen Mother shouted angrily, "It seems that Wu'er is prepared, could it be that he is thinking about deposing the emperor on the grounds that the emperor is absent or has no children?"
"Then ask the queen mother to send the queen and the crown prince, otherwise, the sons and daughters will not believe this!"
Under the deep sycamore, the mother and son are fighting, and the princes will talk to each other, and they will wash away their tears.
King Pan forced the palace, making the Guangci Palace tense, of course the emperors were willing to see the emperor and the queen, an empty shelf, the queen mother could not justify herself, and they were confused.
"Lord Wang," Prime Minister Min Cheng clasped his arms tightly to his side, got up and looked directly, "The emperor is seriously ill, and the queen mother will be placed for a consultation, so naturally there will be no flaws, and there is nothing to blame, as for the queen and the prince, they are all because of the fire in the east earth, causing the queen to complain, so she will not come to the harem for a long time, the way of heaven is naturally clear, and Weichen believes that sooner or later, the queen will abandon her previous suspicions and bring the prince into the palace." ”
"Queen, Prince?" King Pan disdained and forced the prime minister, "If what you said is true, then tell this king a truth, which is the queen and which is the prince?"
King Bin's face sank, and he made a generous gesture and said to King Pan: "Brother Wang, this is wrong, the queen and the crown prince are naturally the emperor to come to screen, why don't you wait for the emperor to return from recovery and then find out, today is it difficult to attack the Guangci Palace, is it possible that there is other purpose?"
"Hmph!" King Pan revealed, "This king is just obedient to people's wishes, and now the people's hearts are panicked, and it is difficult to calm down, so I can only implore the ancestors of the royal family and the queen mother to choose a new monarch to temporarily perform the duties of the emperor, if the emperor can return safely, abdicate his throne and then let the emperor ask Jiuding again!" He thought in his heart that this time would never come, because in King Pan's heart, the emperor had passed away.
"Pan Er is really wise and brave," the old queen mother's eyes blurred, and her face turned pale under her forced composure, "The mourning family understands, you came here today to ask for this throne, if the queen and the prince do not enter the palace for a few months, even if the emperor comes back, they will be impeached without a prince, right?
King Pan was poked in the sore spot by a word, gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, and said aggressively: "Please make a ruling, the current overseer outside the city has been infantry Qinwang, there is no explanation, and those tens of thousands of soldiers will not agree!"
"It's the opposite!" the Queen Mother saw that King Pan was hopeless, "You rebel, it's really the opposite!"
Of course, the elders of the royal family support the emperor in the court, in case foreign races usurp power, as long as it is the son of Gongdan, no matter who is the emperor, he will always enjoy wealth and wealth, and the soldiers and horses have been gathered outside the city, and the queen mother will be ordered to make a decree in an instant, lest it affect itself, and they have spoken out to persuade each other, or temporarily set up an emperor to make plans again, so who else will there be besides King Pan?
Seeing this, King Bin was useless, and immediately said loudly: "Queen Mother, the eldest brother is unscrupulous, intending to usurp the government, force the palace to seize power, raise troops and rebel, and the sons want to impeach King Pan!"
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, stared at King Bin, but saw that he had no timidity, so she looked at the prime minister.
Prime Minister Min immediately understood, stepped forward and said: "The queen mother can rest assured, if there are really soldiers rushing into the palace, Weichen should stand in the way of his body, see who dares to step on Weichen! The emperor is in poor health, the queen and the prince have not returned, and a new emperor must not be established at present, even if the emperor cannot come to the court, the queen must be found, and the prince's will will be consulted before making plans, otherwise the old minister and the hundred officials will not obey ......."
With a "snap", King Pan slammed the case and shouted angrily: "Do you dare? This king has already found out that a fire disaster in Zhuojiazhuang in Dongtu has already caused Concubine Zhuo to die in the sky, where is the queen, where is there any prince, and the son asks the queen mother to make an order immediately!"
"Send the old lady here!" The Queen Mother was helpless, she had to confirm the existence of the queen and the crown prince first, so that King Pan would be alert.
After a while, the wife of the old village owner of Zhuojiazhuang entered the palace and recounted the story in detail, confirming that it was her father-in-law who died, not the queen Zhuo Ji.
King Pan's eyes sharpened, if the queen is alive and the prince is safe, but he is suspected of being unjustified when he ascends the throne in the palace, so he took it to heart, glanced at the old woman and asked: "Dare to ask the old man, you keep saying that you are the wife of the village owner, what about the queen? What about the prince?" The implication is that the queen mother is playing tricks again.
The old lady was frightened and dumbfounded, and kept looking at the crowd.
"Concubine Ya has arrived—" The guards called again.
Without waiting for Xuanjin, Yashu ran in angrily, and was about to have a seizure, but he saw the village owner's wife at a glance.
"Yashu?"
"Old lady!"
The two were dumbfounded, neither of them expected to see each other in the palace.
"Don't be rude!" the palace maid next to her shouted to the old lady, indicating that it was the princess, "This is ......"
"Stand down!" the Queen Mother shouted angrily to the palace maid.
Ya Shu held the old lady with tears in her eyes, kept shaking her head, and then stared at King Pan and roared, "What are you doing, forcing the queen mother, intending to usurp the government, it is really better to be a pig dog!" Then, he turned to the queen mother with pity, "Queen mother, Concubine Ya and the queen are sisters in the same village, and they have only grown up since they were taken care of by the old lady of the village lord, this, this," said, Yashu carefully took out the wrist ring from the cuff and handed it to the queen mother," This is the testimony, it must be a token given by the emperor to Concubine Zhuo's sister, the concubine picked it up in the fire disaster, and at that time I thought my sister was immortal, but later I learned that it was the old village owner......"
The Queen Mother hurriedly took the Cuizhu wristband, held it with trembling hands, and muttered: "Yes, this is an object given to Nier by the first emperor, and there is the name of the first emperor on it!"
King Pan never expected that his princess would come against him, and suddenly raised his hand to beat Yashu, but was stopped by King Bin, and with a little force, he fell into the chair.
"So what, the queen is alive, the prince is alive, and today the king will ask for an explanation, and in half an hour, if no decree is issued, the soldiers and horses outside the city will break in!" King Pan howled.
"Say?" Yashu ridiculed King Pan in a pitiful tone, "I'll give you an explanation today," she stepped forward again to hold the old lady to prevent him from falling, and said to everyone, "The fire that day, this concubine has already found out, it was King Pan's people who cast it together with Xiangma, intending to murder the emperor!"
This sentence made several old emperors dumbfounded, some of them had already stood up, and they were furious, and the fifth princess personally testified against King Pan, even if he was covered with mouths, it was difficult to clarify.
"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense!" King Pan pointed at Concubine Ya and scolded.
The Queen Mother was sitting on the wide chair, still leaning on the back chair as if she was paralyzed, her lips trembled and she couldn't make a sound, but her hand was raised and pointed directly at King Pan.
At this time, a guard ran in again and said: "Queen Mother, the civil servant asks to see you!"
"Wen Waiter?" The Queen Mother was stunned, and suddenly saw King Pan's embarrassed expression, and said slowly, "Pass!"
In the main hall, two shuttle masters came again, Wentu and Fu Rou both knelt down to worship: "Wentu and Fu'er meet the Queen Mother!"
King Pan couldn't believe his eyes, this pair of adulterers and adulteresses dared to send them to the door by themselves, and suddenly shouted: "Come on, take down the thief for me......" Just after shouting, I realized that this is the Guangci Palace!
"Hurry up!" The Queen Mother suddenly showed hope when she saw Wentu returning.
Wentu stood up and gestured to Fu Rou. Fu Rou knelt forward and moved forward, leaned down and continued: "Please forgive the Queen Mother, the lord of Dongtu County, Fu'er, bow to my lord, and hope that Niangniang will live forever!"
The lord of Dongtu County?!
There was another uproar in the hall!
Pan Wang's five thunders thundered, and a sense of ominousness arose!
The Queen Mother was confused, and asked in a panic: "Lord Fujun, is the true king your royal brother?"
Fu Rou replied in a low voice: "Back to the Queen Mother, exactly, the county lord is disrespectful, deceives the queen mother, and hopes that the queen mother will be punished!" As she spoke, she took out the county lord's seal and handed it to the maid, so that the queen mother could watch it.
"The county lord, please get up!" the queen mother held the seal and wondered very much, "How can the dignified county lord bend down to the maid here, quickly, give me a seat." ”
"The Queen Mother, Fu'er doesn't dare, the Queen Mother, Fu'er was provoked by the traitor to sneak into the harem, at first it was intended to be unfavorable to the mother and the emperor, Fu'er deserves death, so the sinner girl doesn't dare to get up and ......"
"Queen Mother!" King Pan realized that the big thing was not good, and wanted to cut it first, "You should immediately take down the Dongtu County Lord and ask ...... to behead"
Wentu knew that King Pan was a cunning rabbit in the three caves, and said loudly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the traitor in the mouth of the lord of Dongtufu County is the prince Pan, this person first killed the old king of Dongtu, and then used tricks to deceive Dongtu, claiming that it was the current emperor, the prince at that time assassinated, communicated with Dongtu privately, and intended to assassinate the emperor, and after the deed was completed, he was willing to take three hundred miles of the city as a reward, this is King Pan's secret letter......"
The Queen Mother took the letterhead presented by the palace maid, stared at the past, her eyes gradually narrowed, her pupils gradually narrowed, and her face became even paler.
