Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 226 Right and wrong

On July 49th of the eighth year of Hong Zhen, Emperor Hong Zhen announced the death of the Supreme Emperor and announced that the body of the Supreme Emperor was parked in Longyang Palace.Princes and ministers will enter the court to worship within seven days.Emperor Hongzhen stopped court for seven days, took onyx, and took off after [-] days.He also ordered the people of Daqi to observe mourning for one year, during which time engagements and marriages were prohibited.

Just when everyone removed the decorations in the mansion and changed into plain clothes.Emperor Hongzhen also announced to the world: "Prince Xi desecrated his father's mourning hall and did not know how to repent.

With this imperial decree, the whole capital city was boiling. Usually, Prince Xun is a gentle and elegant person, and he is very much loved by the Supreme Emperor, so how could he desecrate the mourning hall.There were one or two old ministers who didn't know why and pleaded with Emperor Hongzhen, but were severely scolded by Emperor Hongzhen, and dared not speak again.

Although Emperor Hongzhen's tough approach made the court temporarily quiet, there are still many people who are not convinced about this matter.Many people actually thought of the Concubine Gui, who actually wanted the Concubine Gui to put pressure on the Empress to interfere with Emperor Hong Zhen's decision.

To everyone's surprise, Emperor Hong Zhen quietly came to the residence of the noble concubine with only Gao Fu'er.The imperial concubine was discussing Emperor Hong Zhen's plan with her confidantes at this time, and seeing Emperor Hong Zhen entered the bedroom without notification, she said angrily: "What is the emperor doing here at Ai's house? Don't be afraid of this Man Daqi man Drown you with spitting stars!"

Emperor Hongzhen glanced at the people in the room, walked to the main seat, sat down, and waved his hands.The eunuchs and maids all looked at the noble concubine, but there was no movement.Gao Fu'er smiled strangely: "What? You don't even listen to the emperor, so die?"

The Concubine Gui laughed, "Grandpa Gao came to Ai's house to show off his might? Who gave you the courage!" As soon as the Concubine Gui had finished speaking, one of the little eunuchs in the room fell silently.The noble concubine turned pale with shock, and waited for Emperor Hong Zhen: "Are you going to kill Aijia?"

Emperor Hongzhen swept away the maids and eunuchs, and Gao Fu'er hurriedly said: "Hurry up and go out, everyone will die!" The eunuchs and eunuchs all looked at each other.Only then did he walk out of the bedroom.The imperial concubine said angrily: "It seems that the emperor is here today for Ai's family. You not only killed your father and brother, but you also killed my weak mother and concubine as well."

Gao Fu'er looked around for a while, then bowed and backed out.Emperor Hongzhen smiled indifferently: "I also said that at this time, the noble mother and concubine should beg my subordinates to show mercy, at least to save your son's life!"

The imperial concubine said angrily: "You really want to kill him, you stupid king, sooner or later you will die without a place to bury him!" Emperor Hong Zhen laughed and said, "You might as well beg me to see if I can forgive him !"

The imperial concubine laughed sadly: "Are you willing? You want to drink my blood and have my tendons, how can you spare my family. I have been waiting for this day since the day you became the throne. I lived for eight more years, Not bad at all!"

"Yeah, from the day you poisoned my mother to death. From the time you lured Chi Jin to see my imperial sister, and from the time you bewitched father to write down the edict to abolish me, you should have thought that you would end up today!" Emperor Hong Zhen's voice was very soft, not much anger.The noble concubine was really taken aback, she looked at Emperor Hong Zhen in disbelief and said, "You..."

Emperor Hong Zhen smiled: "Are you curious how I know this?"

The noble concubine looked at Emperor Hong Zhen pretending to be calm.However, he couldn't help his hand trembling slightly when he picked up the teacup.Emperor Hong Zhen watched the imperial concubine's every move, and continued: "Do you know that the eldest brother rebelled that day, why did father pass the throne to me in a hurry?"

"Your majesty did it helplessly. The second child is merciless. My son is a frail scholar. Only you can lead the generals to settle the war." The imperial concubine forced herself to calm down.Said sarcastically, "You just picked up a bargain at that special time!"

Emperor Hong Zhen dismissed it with a smile: "Your mother and concubine really feel good, let me tell you. The emperor father passed on the throne to me because you are too cruel and merciless. If the fourth brother becomes the emperor , within a few years, this old minister of Da Qi will be killed by your hands. I am afraid that Da Qi will change his surname to Sun by then."

The noble concubine stared at Emperor Hong Zhen in disbelief: "You are talking nonsense, the emperor clearly agreed to me..." At this point.The Concubine Gui could not help but shut her mouth, staring at Emperor Hong Zhen.Emperor Hongzhen laughed loudly: "Have you finally couldn't help but say it? I have messed up my plan for so many years. I really hate you!"

The noble concubine said angrily: "Are you trying to blame our Sun family for killing the emperor? The Ai family will tell you that if anything happens to the Ai family today, tomorrow the people of Daqi will be happy." I will know that Emperor Hong Zhen sent someone to kill your father."

However, Emperor Hongzhen was not threatened by the imperial concubine at all, and continued to say: "I remember that when my mother died that day, she once said to me and the emperor's sister, 'This Daqi harem can only be peaceful if the Sun family is extinct.' I always remember this sentence In other words, even if I married your Sun family's daughter back then, I never forgot about it. Not only do I want the Sun family's daughter to disappear from the Daqi Palace, but I also want your Sun family to disappear completely from the court."

The imperial concubine was furious: "You crazy man, my grandson family has a gold medal from the emperor to avoid death, you are delusional!" Hong Zhendi said: "Didn't I come to ask for the gold medal from your mother and concubine? Otherwise Your mother and concubine think that I am really in a good mood to talk to you?"

The Concubine Gui snorted coldly: "Don't even think about it, the Ai family will not hand over the gold medal to you." Emperor Hong Zhen glanced at the Concubine Gui, threw her a booklet, and said: "In the 30th year of Xuande, the army who conspired against people, In fact, they are not my eldest brother's subordinates. The concubine and the fourth brother really planned a good show at that time, let the eldest brother and the father have a grudge, and wiped out the formidable opponent of the elder brother. Later, he retreated as an advance and refused to inherit the throne. It is to let the father kill my brothers. Who would have thought that the father would pass the throne to me in a hurry!"

The expression on the noble concubine's face changed, she glanced at the memorial on the ground, but she still pretended to be calm.

Emperor Hongzhen didn't like it, and still said calmly: "Although I became the emperor, you and the fourth brother thought it was a good thing at the beginning. You planned to let this worthless brother clean up a few brothers, and then together with you Father and emperor abolished me as the emperor together, and enjoyed the benefits of being a fisherman."

The Concubine Gui's face became even paler at this time, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "Is the emperor here to tell a joke with Ai's family today?"

Emperor Hongzhen said: "Is it a joke? I'm afraid no one knows better than the concubine. I'm not here to settle accounts with you. I'm here to tell you that the Tang family you arranged to save the fourth brother has already lost his head. There is no need to struggle needlessly."

Emperor Hongzhen's words finally knocked down the Concubine Gui's pretend puppet. She rushed towards Emperor Hongzhen and cursed angrily: "You bastard, let my son go. This country is my son, so I can only It's my son."

Emperor Hongzhen smiled and said: "I had no intention of this country, you let me know. If you want to protect the important people around you, you must be the emperor. Your mother and concubine, you have to blame. It's your fault that you reached out too wide and let me After more than ten years of being alone, there is nothing else to do except plot against you."

The noble concubine said fiercely: "After all, it is because of that girl Yang Zhilan. From the beginning to the end, the Ai family felt that she was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it was true. No matter how bad my Sun family girl is, she is thousands of times better than her. Ten thousand times."

Emperor Hongzhen smiled, looked at the imperial concubine and said: "The concubine is still unwilling to repent, I will give you another chance to hand over the gold medal for avoiding death, and I guarantee that the fourth brother can live in peace in the imperial mausoleum of the father." Live your whole life, or the day when Fourth Brother arrives at the imperial mausoleum will be the day of his death!"

"You don't dare, everyone in the world is watching!" the noble concubine said angrily.Emperor Hongzhen said: "Your mother and concubine are really stubborn. The fourth brother colluded with unknown people. He murdered Zhongliang and colluded with Annan's people to kill his father. In addition, he murdered Prince Yizhong and besieged his father back then, which made the city of Shangjing miserable. .Do you think the fourth brother can survive?"

The noble concubine slumped down on the ground with a dazed expression.Emperor Hong Zhen said again: "My concubine, do you want to know where I know this from?" The imperial concubine looked at Emperor Hong Zhen dejectedly: "Where did I know?"

Emperor Hongzhen really laughed out loud at this time: "Naturally, I learned from Sun Guiren. Your Sun family was so focused on making Sun Guiren conceive my child that you didn't hesitate to bring the unique medicine from Daxue Mountain into the palace. Wouldn't I be really useless if I don't see a thing or two again." Emperor Hong Zhen laughed and walked away.

The noble concubine sat on the ground and sighed deeply. When Mrs. Sun Taishi risked this move, she felt that it was wrong.But thinking that Emperor Hong Zhen must have stayed in the palace all year round and must not know the situation of Daxue Mountain, so he agreed.Who would have imagined that Hong Zhendi found out so many things along this line, but in the end he harmed his own son.

On the fifth day after the death of the Supreme Emperor, the noble concubine died of illness in Longyang Palace because she missed the Supreme Emperor.Before the Sun family could cry, on the morning of the seventh day, Emperor Hongzhen had already been convicted of treason, took off Taishi Sun's crown, and ordered the servant of the Ministry of War to lead troops to raid the house.

On July 22, the eighth year of Hongzheng, Lord Qian, the minister of the Ministry of War, rushed into the Sun family's mansion with a group of soldiers, and found more than a dozen illegal items, many of which corresponded with Prince Li of the Annan Kingdom, causing an uproar in the court.Grand Master Sun has been enlightened since the day the Concubine Gui died, and when the soldiers wanted to take him to the prison, he committed suicide in the grand hall of the Sun family.

On July 25th, Emperor Hong Zhen made a big list to find people with supernatural powers in the world to treat the third prince's illness, and threatened that as long as the third prince could be cured, he would reward him with ten thousand taels of gold.It was only then that everyone learned that not only the Supreme Emperor lost his life in an accident in Fahua Temple, but even the third prince who was both civil and military was seriously injured. No wonder Emperor Hongzhen was so furious this time and changed his usual gentle style.

On July 28, 130 members of the Sun family beheaded outside the Meridian Gate for public display. Although the people in the capital did not know about the imperial affairs, they thought of the content of the imperial list for medical recruitment and guessed that Emperor Hong Zhen was so angry that the Sun family was injured. The third prince.Someone wildly speculated that Emperor Hongzhen had already decided on the crown prince.

On July 29th, Emperor Hong Zhen announced to the world that he was relegated to the Daxue Mountain Villa during the Xuande period to rehabilitate him, and gave Zhuang Chenghao, the son of Princess Yun Yichang, as the general of Fengguo, and began to build a mansion somewhere in the south of Shangjing.When Ao Jian heard this decree, he raised his eyebrows indifferently, he would like to live in the herb garden, which would be quieter.

On the second day, Emperor Hong Zhen appointed the champion Hou Lin Haorui as the general of Zhenyuan, and led an army of [-] to go to Annan again.On the day when Lin Haorui ordered troops to go out, all civil and military officials noticed that all the soldiers who went out this time were young men.The champion Hou Lin Haorui, the Fengguo general Aojian, the young general Yang Chengping, Jia Lian and Zen master Huijing's apprentice Zheng Jin are all in the direct line of the emperor, or the line of the three princes, which makes this Southern Expedition carry a lot of vengeance.

After seeing off Lin Haorui's army, Emperor Hong Zhen returned to Changning Palace with a tired expression. The Queen greeted him and said softly: "Get tired, things can take your time, why do you have to be so anxious."

Emperor Hongzhen snorted softly: "I want to take my time, who will give me time. The fourth brother is really good at planning, but such a big incident has happened in the past few years, and his subordinates are still searching for the porcelain bottle with sea water, clouds and dragons." , isn’t it just to get that treasure so that we can expand our armaments and compete with us?”

The queen sighed: "Do you think that these things were done by the Fourth Prince?" Emperor Hongzhen smiled bitterly: "Then what can be done, anyway, he will die if he does one thing, and he will die if he does two things. If I don't do it today , the real behind-the-scenes people will definitely act more covertly, and it will be difficult to find any clues at that time."

The queen sighed: "These things are really annoying, Yangzhou is better. I have lived in Yangzhou with Tianyou these years. Although it is a bit lonely, it is always peaceful." You really have the heart to stay here alone. Well, let’s not talk about such a bad thing, is there any news from God Bless?"

The queen shook her head: "There is no news yet, Zhan Duo went with him, I don't know what method Zen Master Huijing used to save Tianyou, I am really worried!" Emperor Hongzhen patted her on the shoulder: "My uncle is not Never lie, Tianyou will be fine, don't worry!"

The queen sighed: "I can only think this way." Emperor Hongzhen suddenly remembered something and said: "In a few days, you invite Li Wensheng's daughter into the palace to have a look. I think that child is very good and worthy of us. God bless." The queen was startled, and looked at Emperor Hong Zhen in confusion: "Why do you think of this?"

Emperor Hongzhen said: "I've thought about it, the girl of the Lin family won't succeed, it's not a blessing, if Tianyou really likes it, she can just give her a side concubine, which will not disgrace the reputation of the Lin family. The main concubine will help her in the future after marrying a concubine." good."

The queen threw Hong Zhendi's hand away at once: "My son's business, don't meddle in it."@@##$l&&~*_*~&&l$##@@
