Text Chapter 398 Hidden Traces Hidden Traces
For many things in the world, a woman's intuition is often surprisingly accurate. They don't need to judge, they don't need evidence, they don't even need to speculate about whether it's justified or not, they will determine the real crux of the problem.
The Queen Mother is in the Yilan Palace, although she seems to be inactive, just an old lady living in the palace, but she has her own sources, and what happens inside and outside the palace can't hide it from her ears. What's more, in the past few days, Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, has made waves in Chang'an and caused trouble, of course she will be more concerned about his whereabouts, lest this prince, who has been spoiled by him since childhood, have any unexpected mistakes.
I'm really worried about what's coming, I heard the bad news from outside the palace early in the morning, the Jiangdu palace was on fire, and the prince was burned to death in his own home! After the queen mother heard the news, she almost fainted, and her first reaction after grief was that the ruthless Yuan Zhao took revenge!
After listening to the details, she was even more heartbroken, this fire not only burned Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, and many people in his mansion, but even his own nephew Tian Shaozhong, who went to the mansion for a banquet that night, was also trapped in it and could not escape.
Whether it is Liu Fei or Tian Shaozhong, this is the arm that the Queen Mother relies on. The emperor and the queen mother were not in harmony, and their feelings became weaker and weaker. It was precisely because of their sons and nephews who came to visit her in the palace from time to time that she alleviated the desolation of her later years in the palace. Even if it is not for the needs of power, but only as a sustenance of family affection, the Queen Mother cannot bear the great grief of losing them.
A tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood, this is too in line with Yuan Zhao's style of doing things! He must have done it. At this point, the queen mother didn't care about anything, and stumbled towards the emperor's place, and the snow in the courtyard of the palace was forbidden, and the old lady almost fell, and a large group of grandmothers and maids who hurriedly followed were panicked, but no one dared to persuade them. When I came here, I was still far away, and the Queen Mother had already let out a loud cry of grief, asking the emperor to arrest the murderer and take revenge.
Before he could figure out what was going on, the Queen Mother came crying, and she insisted that it was Yuan Zhao's hand, and Emperor Liu Che's angry heart was both helpless and irritable. I can't help but secretly hate the people in the palace for a lot of things, and I went to report to her early that I know what to do!
"Queen Mother, it's such a cold day, and it's snowing outside, why did you come here in person? If his health is damaged because of this, how can his son afford it? Come on, don't you help the Queen Mother back to rest and wait for it! ”
As he spoke, the emperor motioned to the left and right for them to escort the Queen Mother back first. Since the matter has happened, it must not be dealt with only by emotion, this matter is very important, and if it is not handled well, it may cause unexpected turmoil in the government and the opposition, which is something that he never wants to see as the Son of Heaven.
However, the current queen mother, where would she still worry about this. At the beginning, his younger brother Wu'an Hou Tianjun was defeated in the struggle with Yuan Zhao and Dou Ying because of the emperor's poor maintenance, and finally ended up in defeat. She already had endless resentment in her heart. And now, Tian Shaozhong, the only nephew who has become a weapon, has died again, and it can be said that her mother's family has been completely ruined since then, and there is no chance to make a comeback. What's more, he also caught up with another king of Jiangdu!
"Emperor! Just last night, the two children of the lonely old woman who loved me the most died! Dead at the hands of their enemies. Since then, no one has often come to the palace to talk to me to relieve my boredom, and no one has personally sent delicious local food from the distant Jiangdu! …… You're going to let me go back and rest? Can I rest? Now, as soon as I close my eyes, it is as if I can see the two children kneeling in front of me, covered in blood, begging me to take revenge on them for catching the murderer...... Emperor! ”
"Queen Mother, when such a thing happened, of course Erchen was also shocked. Aren't you planning to send someone to investigate it now! Don't be impatient, it's important to protect your body, no matter what happens, isn't there still a son? Why bother saying what you don't have! ”
How could the emperor not hear the resentment and resentment in the Queen Mother's tone, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he had done before. In the face of the great interests of the country, everything is worth giving up and exchanging, and the sacrifice made by the Tian family, he thinks, is completely worth it. Her mother has always been dissatisfied, but it is just a woman's opinion.
"Investigation? What else to investigate! Emperor, the murderer is Yuan Zhao! How could the palace catch fire for no reason? How could he just burn Fei'er and the guests he entertained, and no one escaped......! Emperor, quickly send the Yulin Army in the palace to Changle Plateau to arrest him! Don't let him escape. I want him to give my daughter-in-law and nephew my life! ”
The Queen Mother was already carried away by anger, her face flushed, and her voice became sharp. The emperor felt impetuous, and he didn't know what to tell her.
"Queen Mother, how could the murderer be Yuan Zhao! He is now thousands of miles away in the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, with vast ice and snow, mountains and rivers barriers, can he still grow wings and fly back to kill people and set fires? Besides, the news of the fire in the Changle Marquis Mansion would not have been known in such a short period of time, so how could he do this? The queen mother, this could never have been done by him. Natural disasters or man-made disasters should wait for the people sent to investigate in detail. ”
"Who else but him? Who else has such a great ability! My Fei'er is a warrior who can carry the crown, and the guards in the palace are all carefully selected elite people...... Except for Yuan Zhao, who in the world can enter the Jiangdu Mansion to make such a big karma! Emperor......! ”
Hearing that she insisted that Yuan Zhao was going to kill people and set fire to the Jiangdu Palace, Emperor Liu Che finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he loudly interrupted the Queen Mother's words and didn't let her continue.
"The Queen Mother! Say no more! I'll find out about it. King Jiangdu is not only the royal son who grew up next to his mother, but also the brother who grew up with me. How could I have allowed him to die so inexplicably? Please go back to the harem first, relax and recuperate for the time being, don't be too sad, and wait for the news. You people, hurry up and send the Queen Mother back, wait carefully, if something goes wrong, I will not spare it! ”
Hearing that the people in the main hall had restored the majesty of the emperor, the people who were waiting outside the hall did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly came over and hugged the queen mother and went back to the back.
The hall finally fell silent, and then there was an unbearable silence, and Emperor Liu Che didn't know what he was thinking, and the expression on his face as he sat there was incomprehensible. The people below trembled and didn't dare to make a little movement, at this juncture, no one dared not to look long, if they accidentally caused the disaster of killing, it would be too late to regret it!
"Feng Jiu, you go! Personally arrange people to rush to Yanmen Pass with 800 miles of expedited stagecoach at the fastest speed. Find the prince and prime minister who rushed there earlier, as well as Yanzhi, and see what Changle Hou Yuanzhao is doing over there. Then send someone back immediately! Remember, I want to get the most truthful news. ”
One of the shadows in the corner of the temple whispered a whisper of agreement, then turned to leave. Xifeng Wei Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, after Feng Yanzhi was ordered to protect the prince to the north, he was replaced by someone else who listened to the emperor's orders at any time.
"I don't believe it, there are people in the world who have such magical powers, who will predict the prophet and kill people across thousands of miles? Yuan Zhao, I hope I didn't mistake you...... You must be a loyal and good general of my great man, not a rebellious person with a different heart! ”
The emperor was muttering to himself, although he had doubts in his heart, especially after reading the information from Xifengwei in detail, before the Jiangdu Royal Mansion caught fire, there were indeed fierce fights and killings in that closed hall. This method is very similar to the things that Yuan Zhao once did in the legends of the world. Later, however, after careful consideration, he rejected his own judgment.
No one will believe such a thing. Unless...... Yuan Zhao had already secretly returned to Chang'an. But this doesn't make sense, why did he come back early? Could it be that if you can pinch it, you will already know that something will happen to the Marquis of Changle? It's even more impossible!
After calculating it several times, the Queen Mother's words about Yuan Zhao's murder must not be established. Therefore, on the one hand, Emperor Liu Che ordered the Chang'an Mansion to work with the patrol guards to find out the whole story, and on the other hand, he sent 800 miles of flying cavalry to the front line in northern Xinjiang to personally confirm Yuan Zhao's whereabouts.
The king of Jiangdu is dead, and of course a large number of unlucky people will suffer. However, the emperor did not immediately announce the punishment. Even the most bearer of the brunt of the Chang'an Linghe Patrol Guard, he only made a stern reprimand first, ordering them to make meritorious contributions, close the nine gates, and launch a city-wide search, first clarify this matter and then play it according to the facts. As for whether to kill or chop at that time, it depends on the news ...... from the north that the emperor waited.
This shocking thing had already been heard everywhere in the Weiyang Palace, and the reactions were naturally different. Unlike the two sad and depressed atmospheres of Shuyu Palace and Yilan Palace, it was a different situation in Jianzhang Palace at this time.
Princess Suxi heard two pieces of information that were extremely important to her early in the morning. Her mood at this time was both excited and happy, and extremely excited. Mrs. Wei told her that Su Hongyun and Lingzhi had sent someone to inquire about their whereabouts, and they were now on Changle Plateau, and they were very safe. Su Xi's heart was anxiously worried for several days, and finally let go. And then she heard another news, which made her heart stunned all at once, and it almost flew out with a thud. If she hadn't forcibly covered the look on her face, her mother would definitely have seen the clue.
This must have been done by him, he must have come back to Chang'an last night! Princess Suxi didn't even have to think about it, and immediately confirmed this matter with great certainty in her heart.
"No matter what the future holds! No matter what his identity, one day in the future, I must make him my hero! ”
The eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, Su Xi, who was born in the same year as Su Lingzhi and was only six months apart, clenched a pair of fists tightly and made a vow for herself for the rest of her life.
