Chapter 733 Set up a position and start a good show
The breeze close to the surface of the water all the way. In the distance, the willows are graceful, and there are flowers and leaves. In the open place outside this hall, there is a wide-sleeved skirt that flies, and there is the fragrance of fat powder clothes rising with the wind. On the red gold glazed tiles, the kingfisher and yellow warbler seem to be disturbed by the fragrant wind and spread their wings far away.
Earlier, the women who were still chatting and having fun in the streamer pavilion were mostly concentrated here. At this time, except for Chen Guifei, who got a rose chair moved by the little eunuch and held up a flower cover to block the sun for her. The rest, whether they were waiting ladies or wives, stood under the sun and were also stared by a circle of inner servants to guard against it. They whispered to each other.
Including Wei Eleven Niang, the sixth sister and others who had just finished suing the queen's black complaint in the qi sound hall, and then they all came to stand outside the queen's bedroom.
Everyone knows that something very important has happened, but few people know the details.
It turned out that about half an hour after Concubine Su left, a maid hurried to the streamer's pavilion. Everyone saw the queen suddenly change her color and take the lead in leaving the table. Mrs. Qin and Zi Ruo followed closely, and Concubine Bai were all panicked and looked at each other. However, Ren Hai, the chief eunuch beside the queen, came with a calm face and edicts People lined up to come here and didn't give an ult.
But Wei Eleven and others were in the Liyin Hall at that time, but they heard the report clearly that the eldest prince had an accident and fell into the lotus pond. He couldn't rescue him and died.
The empress dowager immediately got up and came to the scene, but saw that the emperor had brought the officials first. Wei Eleven Niang was far away and could not hear the conversation between the emperor and the empress dowager. She only specified the faces of those people, and knew that the eldest prince was afraid that it was serious.
She was puzzled and heard Shen whisper to Qin's party behind - Princess Chu came here, and the eldest prince drowned immediately. How could it be such a coincidence?
Wei Eleven's heart sank, and she was thinking about how to ask carefully from Shen's mouth. Suddenly, dozens of servants surrounded her, and there were high-grade blue clothes and drank heavily - you were not allowed to discuss and wait for the edict.
I have to give up.
However, Wei Eleven Niang just vaguely saw that the king of Chu was also behind the emperor, and the eldest princess and the old princess were all present. Even the imperial concubine Shou and other clans were invited to the inner hall by the empress dowager, but she did not worry about the isolation and being bullied by the queen.
At this time, in the main hall, the eight carved doors and windows were all open, and the golden sun slanted into the long threshold, but it seemed that there was always a cold coil between the painted beams, suspended and pressed.
In the silence, a maid in blue knelt on her knees and choked and complained.
"The eldest prince woke up from a lunch break. M Mother persuaded His Highness to complete the homework arranged by the gentleman in the morning. His Highness was a little reluctant to let the maidservant get close. The Mother and the maidservant had to wait outside. After a while, when the Mother entered again, she saw the window open, but His Highness was nowhere to find... He hurriedly ordered him to look for it separately, but he did not Seeing where His Highness had gone, Mister guessed that His Highness ran outside avoiding the crowd and asked the maids to go out to inquire... The maidservant was assigned to the backyard and searched next to the eastbound corridor, but she did not see His Highness. Then she went to the lotus pool and saw Your Highness squatting by the pond from afar. The maidservant just felt happy. Looking out, he was afraid of being disturbed first. His Highness hid again and walked quietly to this end. Unexpectedly, he saw His Highness sliding into the water, and the maidservant immediately called for help... But the backyard was empty, and the maidservant did not know water. When Sister Caiwei heard that she heard that someone came to come to rescue, it was too late.
As she finished her words, the queen cried in time and quickly covered her mouth with a brocade handkerchief.
Mrs. Qin didn't get a seat. She stood beside the queen to comfort her, bent slightly, and her eyes were dark red.
"My condolences." It was Qin Ziruo who persuaded her to come out - she was just dragged inside by the queen. In addition to the maid in blue below, she was the only "seed man" in the huge main hall at this time.
The Empress Dowager seemed to find an untimely person in the main hall, frowned slightly, and the depression under her eyes was a little deeper.
She listened to the play with the clan's wife in the Liyin Hall and felt at home. First of all, Yichen came to "ware" with several fateful women and talked about the disturbance in the streamer pavilion carefully. The Empress Dowager was not in a happy mood, but she did not mention the "crime" Zhang Xuanshi and Li. She only sneered at the eldest princess: "I let Jing girl took Qin Ziruo into the palace and wanted to break a public case in front of you. After all, it was a good day for the queen. I think she was still Zhou Dao this time, and I didn't want to disturb her interest. Originally, she planned to wait for others to leave the banquet. As a result, the queen herself made trouble and wanted to support Qin Ziruo!"
The court clan has its own law. Not to mention that the queen, even the emperor can't do whatever she wants. There is no evidence. It is hard to say that the queen's mastermind asked the harem and the woman to provoke the scene. The attitude of tolerance and indulgence is obvious. The empress dowager herself thinks that the queen's behavior is to humiliate Qin Ziruo and Qin Xiang. How can she not be angry? I just wanted to "process" at the Liuguang Pavilion, but before I had time to start, I heard that the eldest prince had suffered an accident.
The Empress Dowager has lived in the palace for most of her life and is familiar with the private methods of the harem. How can she believe in many "coincidences"? What's more, when she arrived at the scene, she saw that the emperor had brought foreign ministers as if he had been prepared - in fact, it was not a violation of etiquette. After all, when there was a murder, it was still the prince who was killed. It was reasonable for the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate themselves. King Kang was an order and was also present. The emperor explained that he was discussing government affairs with Yu Yu. After hearing the letter, he asked Yu Yu to be with him. There were also several Hanlin ministers, including Su Ming, who were killed unexpectedly because of the affairs of historians, and the only heir of the emperor was still to be killed, and the historians were also present to witness.
If the prince is killed rather than an accident, this matter belongs to national politics and needs to be recorded in history books to be told to future generations. Therefore, many foreign ministers also follow the holy order and enter the harem. The emperor intends to judge in public. Naturally, he wants to trap the princess of Chu to die, and guard against the empress dowager's excuse of "not being promoted" and covering up the matter again - although the death It's the prince, but Yu Yu knows the details. It is not sure that he has stabbed the incident of the eldest prince for the prostitute to the Ci'an Palace. This needs to be closed to theory that the empress dowager is very likely not delve into the truth of the death of a prince with suspicion of blood in order to trap the Duke of Wei, but in front of the courtiers and historians, the emperor is very sure.
If Yu Yu did not report the matter, it shows that he was afraid. At this time, he did not dare to expose it in public. Whether the Empress Dowager knew it in advance or not, would also take into account the majesty of the heavenly family at this time. The eldest prince has died, and the hidden danger of chaotic bloodline has been eliminated. The Empress Dowager did not have this level of worry, how could she take the emperor's once Is the absurd trip made public? When Concubine Su was indefectable, the Empress Dowager had to "push the boat along the water" in exchange for Su's life for peace.
The emperor thought that he would no longer insist on letting Qin Zi marry Yu as the imperial concubine and curbing the marriage between the Qin family and the king of Chu was regarded as a step backward compromise made by the order of his grandmother, and the empress dowager was also afraid of the marriage between Su and Chu. For the sake of national politics, she must also take a step back.
But if the Empress Dowager still has to protect Concubine Su at this point and ignore the overall situation, she is obviously determined to unite Su and Chu to manipulate his emperor as a puppet.
The emperor will no longer be "merciful"!
Therefore, at this time, although the emperor's eyebrows were tight and his face was full of pain, he was confident.
In the main hall, there is only the royal clan. Compared with Yu and Yijing, they are the younger generation. Although they get a seat, the seat is close to the end, but it does not prevent them from listening to the maid who found the eldest prince's delintage speech and their respective feelings with the emperor.
At this time, Yu looked calmly at the beautiful scenery and gently grasped her slightly chilly fingertips under the cover of her sleeves.
When Yu Yu heard that the maid of honor called Cailian, he thought that the tenants who were being housed in the village by the unknown Jiang family were Cailian's parents and brothers.
Although Cailian at this time, he insisted that he witnessed the eldest prince fall into the lotus pond, and sooner or later he would become a beautiful scene - the maid of honor Cailian is bound to be one of the lead singers.
Yu Yu has long been predicting about today's disaster, and even the scenery has guessed.
But they don't think the emperor will have a chance of winning.
Although the emperor has mastered the mind of the empress dowager, but unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager and his wife made various actions in the back. The Empress Dowager's perception of the Qin family has reached the point that the word "disgust" cannot be covered. In her eyes, the Qin family is already a cancer that must be eliminated.
As long as the spearhead is aimed at the Qin clan led by the queen, and then the emperor step by step, the empress dowager will be more difficult to tolerate it.
Obviously, the Duke of Wei is not as a shameless family as the Qin family. It will never sacrifice the beautiful scenery's life for nothing to save the family. However, today's incident has shocked the court officials and the Hanlin Criminal Department. It can't be covered up by closing the door to discuss a best of both world. The emperor is going to force the empress dowager to make a decision.
But what does the Empress Dowager think?
It was all the Qin family's instigation that caused the emperor to push her into a dilemma step by step!
If the empress dowager imposes the death penalty without asking whether it is right or wrong, the Duke of Wei is bound to turn against it. Of course, the emperor has an excuse to eradicate the Su family, and the empress dowager has no other choice but to compromise and even help. However, this is by no means the wish of the empress dowager, and the biggest beneficiary is nothing more than Qin Xiang's party.
The empress dowager can suppress the king and emperor's power to supervise the government. The bargaining chip is nothing more than the imperial edict and letter, but if there is no power to obey, for example, the Duke of Wei and the father and son of King Xian, she is unable to control the overall situation. After all, when her son is in the dragon chair today, she is orthodox and convinced by the courtiers and generals.
After all, the Empress Dowager is a woman and a harem. She can't step out. The imperial edict and letter in her hand are dead. Without the support of many forces, her order can't even be issued.
Once the Duke of Wei is centrifu from her, if the king of Chu is subdued by the emperor again, the empress dowager can't sing alone. It is useless to rely on the Yan family alone. The influence of the Yan family is on Lin Wenchen, and it is by no means military courage.
At that time, she can no longer obstruct the emperor's belief in Qin Xiang, which will confuse Dalong's national politics.
The coercion of the emperor is not only against the Duke of Wei, but also against her grandmother who has the power to supervise the government!
Yu Yu thought that the emperor's journey to break the pot and sink the boat must make the Empress Dowager guard, and more and more he gritted his teeth at the other mastermind Qin.
Conflict can no longer be avoided, and the Empress Dowager is bound to take too much into account and is determined to give the emperor a formal warning.
With this alone, perhaps the empress dowager can't make the decision to abolish the throne, but it will not be easy for the Qin family, let alone let the emperor take advantage of it. As long as Yijing can prove his innocence and point the finger at the Qin family, it is enough to ensure safety.
But the emperor can't tolerate Qin's guilt and loss of such an arm.
The gap between the two ancestors and grandchildren of the Tian family cannot be avoided, and the next thing will be logical.
Yu Yu gently tightened his palm. It was not good to comfort him with a smile under the shocking news of the death of the eldest prince. After nod a little, he looked away, but still held Yijing's hand and never let go.
This inconspicuous action was not noticed by others, but was accepted by Qin Ziruo.
In fact, she has not seen a "good man" for a long time. She has long been haunted by lovesickness. Earlier, she entered the palace with the queen, and when the emperor led the public, all the courtiers wore public uniforms, but she still locked the elegant king of Chu at a glance, although she was also wearing a large-sleeved round-neck robe with black hair. She is no different from others. Between the feasibility, the gentleness and calmness of her manners are still so different that they suddenly attracted her attention and can no longer be transferred.
But what is hateful is that his eyes and attention are all about Concubine Su. He just paced over with Concubine Su and sat down together. Although there were no words to talk, his eyebrows were already sharp, and now he ignored the idle people holding hands together.
Qin Ziruo's fingertips are stiff, but he can't withdraw his eyes and burns in two directions - it's almost over. In such a situation, Su will never be arrogant. Today, you are destined to come back.
Jealousy of humiliation seemed to bite Qin Ziruo's heart like two detoxification teeth, his reason faded away, and the irritable fire was ignited by Dantian.
But at this time, she finally "expected" to see Yu Yu's eyes.
Obviously, it was facing this side and passed by again, as if it were inadvertedly sweeping a decoration.
Qin Ziruo held the palm of his hand.
For a moment, I only have that determination in my heart. Mr. Su, I will definitely kill you today, and I will take away everything you have.
The queen's "heartbreaking" sob was still intermittent in the palace, but Lu Ze, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, stepped into it with a drooping face under the guidance of Eunuch Zhan. He bowed down and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, according to the minister's investigation, Your Highness did not accidentally fall into the water. He was injured on his neck. Obviously, he was stunned and sank into the pond!"
