Chapter 658: Leaks
Han Jianming's excerpt was delivered to the emperor at the fastest speed.
The emperor was annoyed and hated by Yunqing's efforts to take control of Shaanxi, Gansu and the West Sea. Annoyed that Yunqing was so bold that he dared to make such a request, and hated that he was the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, but he couldn't help Yunqing.
The emperor summoned the important ministers of the court and asked the opinions of everyone.
Lord Shang Shuxin, who had just taken office in the Ministry of War, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be agreed. "Agreed to Yunqing's request, set this precedent, and when the time comes, everyone else will follow suit, and then the court will become an ornament.
Some of them echoed the bitterness, and most of them pretended to be deaf and dumb. As for Yu Xiang, the head of the hundred officials, it happened that he was sick two days ago, and now he is recuperating at home.
The emperor named the name of the Tobe Shangshu and asked, "How much silver is left in the treasury?" The emperor knew how much silver was in the treasury, and so did everyone present.
Hubu Shangshu was very hard, stood up and said: "Back to the emperor, the existing silver in the Hubu is less than 500,000. "500,000 taels of silver, you can't do anything.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to solve the rebellion in Liaodong, and when the rebellion in Liaodong is resolved, there is no urgency to deal with the affairs of the northwest." "There is a matter of urgency, if all of Liaodong falls into the hands of Yan Wushuang. At that time, there will be no barrier to stop Yan Wushuang's pace, and at that time, the emperor and the others will become fish and meat on people's boards.
Lord Xin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, by all means. Now that I have promised Yunqing, it will be difficult to reach the sky if I want to recover the northwest in the future. ”
The emperor asked, "Xin Aiqing, what should you do in your opinion?" The emperor was also inclined to deal with Yan Wushuang first, and then clean up Yunqing. Yan Wushuang wanted his life, while Yun Qing just wanted the three northwestern provinces. You don't need to think about which end to solve first. Of course, the problem is that now that Yunqing has occupied this province, the imperial court can't help them for the time being.
Xin Chou said: "Your Majesty, immediately send troops to encircle and suppress it." I believe that it will not take three months to eliminate Yunqing, a rebellious minister and thief. "Even if you don't exterminate it, you will definitely not be able to agree to Yunqing's absurd request.
The emperor was very aggrieved in his heart, and the holy decree had been issued, but although Lu Boda and the others had sent troops, they were all thundering and raining, and the excerpts asking for money flew like snowflakes.
This matter has been disputed for a morning without a single result.
The emperor was a little bored, so he didn't go back to the backyard and went to the imperial garden to relax. It's the end of February, and a lot of flowers are blooming in the garden. It's a pity that the emperor is not in the mood to appreciate it.
Just as the emperor was about to turn around and go back to the imperial study, he saw the Empress Dowager Song coming towards him.
Empress Dowager Song also felt a little bored, so she came out for a walk. Seeing the emperor, the Empress Dowager Song blamed: "The emperor didn't know how to put on a cloak when he went to the garden." It's windy here, so what if the wind blows and you get cold?"
The emperor smiled and said, "What the queen mother said is that next time it won't be." If you say a word of rebuttal, the Empress Dowager Song will have ten sentences waiting. In order to avoid disputes, he also followed the words of the Empress Dowager Song.
Empress Dowager Song snorted and said, "Emperor, go and sit in the pavilion in the front yard." "She hadn't spoken to the Emperor for a while.
Before the emperor could speak, an attendant hurriedly walked over and said, "Your Majesty, eight hundred miles of urgent report!"
After the emperor confessed to the Empress Dowager Song, he returned to the imperial study. After reading the battle report, the emperor was furious and scolded: "A bunch of waste. "It's only been half a month, and nearly half of Liaodong has fallen into Yan Wushuang's hands. If it continues like this, it won't be long before Yan Wushuang will have to fight in the capital.
When it got dark, the emperor had two pieces of good news. The good news is that King Jing is safe and sound, and he is on his way back to Beijing. The second good news is that Marquis Jiang did not take refuge in Yan Wushuang, but was imprisoned by Yan Wushuang.
The emperor's face finally looked better, and he immediately issued a holy decree to withdraw all the officers and soldiers besieging the Jiang family.
Thinking that the Empress Dowager Song had been worried about King Jing's safety recently, he stood up and said, "Go to Cining Palace." "This matter is still up to him to tell the Empress Dowager in person.
A flash of panic flashed on Li Debao's face, but he quickly lowered his head. The emperor walked ahead and did not notice Li Debao's abnormality.
When I arrived at Cining Palace, I didn't let anyone pass it on, and walked in directly. Outside the palace, the emperor saw Mama Si.
Before the emperor could open his mouth to ask, he heard a sound of crying and a loud pant of a man from the room. The emperor is not a hairy boy, and when he hears these voices, there is nothing he doesn't understand.
Mama Si knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "The emperor, the emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life......"
The emperor kicked Mama Si open, lifted the curtain and strode into the palace. Looking at the messy clothes under the bed, the emperor's face instantly turned blue: "Come on, get out of here." ”
Almost instantly, a delicate-looking man with long hair rolled out of bed. This person was wearing only a pair of obscene pants, knelt on the ground and shouted: "The emperor spares his life, beg the emperor to spare his life......"
The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Throw it out and feed the dogs." ”
Li Debao called another small eunuch to drag the person out. In this room, only the emperor and the Empress Dowager Song were left, and the Empress Dowager Song was huddled on the bed without a sound.
Yuchen got the news the next day and knew that King Jing was fine. Yuchen said with a sad face: "Did you say when the prince will come back?"
Mama Gui shook her head and said, "I believe I will be back soon." "As long as the person is okay, it doesn't matter if it's two days late.
Yuchen remembered the recent events in the court, and fell into deep worry again, and said: "Once Yan Wushuang occupies Liaodong, the capital will be in danger. "Rebellions elsewhere, at least not in the capital. But this Liaodong is too close to the capital.
Mama Gui was also worried, but it was useless to worry about this kind of thing. Mama Gui immediately changed the topic and said, "After the prince comes back, the prince should also be sent to the upper study to study." ”
Yuchen was really reluctant to send his son to the upper study: "Let's talk about it later!"
At noon on her deathbed, Mama Gui got the news, and her face changed slightly. When he entered the house, he lowered his voice and said to Yuchen: "Princess, an assassin assassinated the Queen Mother last night, and most of the people in Cining Palace were killed and injured. Those who are not dead have all been caught by the Caution Division. "If you enter the Caution Division, you are also dead.
Yuchen was agitated and asked, "Assassin?" Could it be that Yan Wushuang assassinated the Queen Mother. It's impossible, Yan Wushuang should assassinate the emperor if he wants to assassinate him, how can he go to great lengths to kill the Empress Dowager Song.
Mama Gui was silent for a moment and said, "I got the news that it was an assassin assassination, but fortunately, the Queen Mother is safe." ”
Yuchen said: "Prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace." "The Empress Dowager Song was assassinated, and she, as a daughter-in-law, must be seen, otherwise, she has to be provoked.
Mama Gui nodded and said, "I'll go with the princess!"
When I saw the palace, I only saw the queen, but I didn't see the Empress Dowager Song. The queen said: "Brother and sister, the queen mother was frightened last night, and now she doesn't want to see anyone." "The emperor's statement to the empress is also that the assassin touched Cining Palace to assassinate the Empress Dowager Song, and then scolded the empress with her head and face. The queen manages the affairs of the six palaces, and the assassins are mixed in, which is the queen's dereliction of duty. The queen knew what was going on, but she didn't know it.
Yuchen nodded and said, "Okay." "The last thing you want in the royal family is curiosity. The less you know, the safer, and even if you do, pretend you don't know.
After sending Yuchen away, the queen asked Mama Jin beside her and said, "What is the situation in Cining Palace now?" Empress Dowager Song is now under house arrest by the emperor in Cining Palace.
Mama Jin said: "Niangniang, the people in Cining Palace are all from the emperor, and I can't hear any news for the time being." "The Empress Dowager Song has been disgusted by the emperor.
A smile crossed the Queen's lips and she said, "This is just the beginning. "As long as she is disgusted by the emperor, she can really deal with the Empress Dowager Song.
Mama Jin was a little worried, and said, "Niangniang, let's do it again after a while!"
The queen straightened the corners of her clothes and said, "After a while, the emperor will definitely send the poisonous woman out of the palace, and it will not be too late to do it when the time comes." "It is a shame for the emperor to have such a lewd/mother. The emperor is so likely willing to **** to see her and hear her.
Mama Jin breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the queen couldn't help but do it now, now the Empress Dowager Song is surrounded by all the emperor's people, and the emperor will know once there is a movement.
Yuchen walked out of the palace, got into his carriage, and finally stopped holding a face: "I'm afraid it's happened." She installed someone in Cining Palace, and she was very clear about what the Empress Dowager Song had done. I just didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly.
Mama Gui was also a little afraid: "The queen's courage is too big." "In order to take revenge, he calculated the Empress Dowager Song like this.
Yuchen said: "Who can't blame this matter, only complain about her being too bold?" Yu Xiyu This can be regarded as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle. With other methods, you can't deal with the Empress Dowager Song. poisoned, the Empress Dowager Song was very careful in eating, and she couldn't poison her. Direct assassination is not only difficult to do, but also has a high probability of being detected. And if you do this, it is estimated that you will not be able to calm the hatred in Yu Xiyu's heart.
Mama Gui shook her head, not knowing what to say.
Yuchen was a little worried, and said: "If the prince knows about this, I don't know if I can stand it!"
Gui Mama said: "The emperor should not sue the king for this." "How can the emperor say such a shameful thing!
Yuchen said: "If you create too many evils, you will be punished after all." "Don't talk about the killings that the Empress Dowager Song made before. only talked about the eldest grandson, everyone used their lives to protect their grandchildren, but she let her grandson die for herself. Whoever you change is full of hatred.
