Chapter 803: Queen Wang is demoted

Wu Meiniang is Wu Meiniang in the end, she killed her daughter with her own hands, if she was replaced by another woman, she was afraid that she would go crazy, but she didn't, she cried for a long time, remembered her plan, hurriedly grabbed Li Zhi's arm, and cried sadly: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of Mei Niang, you must find out the murderer of Mei Niang's child!" ”

Li Zhi patted her hand and comforted her with a heavy face: "Mei Niang, don't worry, I will definitely punish the murderer severely and avenge you and my child." ”

At this moment, Queen Wang stood there thinking about what had happened before, and suddenly her face showed a look of horror, why, because she suddenly found that after she chatted with Wu Meiniang in the house, all the maids went out, and there were only two people who entered here, that is, she and Wu Meiniang, and she also stayed alone in the inner room for a while, although Wu Meiniang also stayed alone in the room, but she was the mother of the child, and she could definitely rule out suspicion, so she was the biggest suspect.

Thinking of this, how could the queen not be frightened and afraid.

Li Zhi didn't notice the abnormality of Queen Wang, and turned his head to ask Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, think about it carefully, who is the last person to come to the room?" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Back to the emperor, she is a concubine." ”

Li Zhi asked: "Then when you saw the child at that time, was it still alive?" ”

Wu Meiniang shook her head sadly and said: "The concubine didn't know, the two children were silent at that time, and the concubine thought they were asleep, so she didn't look closely, and came out after entering the room to relieve herself." ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he asked again: "Then before you, who was alone with the child?" He has ruled out Wu Meiniang's suspicion, after all, it was Wu Meiniang's child who was victimized, so Wu Meiniang was regarded as a victim.

When Queen Wang heard Li Zhi's words, she was shocked, and her hands couldn't help but tremble, although she knew that she was innocent, she didn't know how to prove her innocence, she was naturally afraid.

"The last ...... to be alone with the child," Wu Meiniang turned her head to look at Queen Wang as she spoke.

Queen Wang felt that her feet were weak, and she was almost paralyzed with fright, shook her head and said tremblingly: "The emperor ...... Your Majesty, no...... It's not a concubine, it's not a concubine......"

Li Zhi frowned and glared and asked, "If it weren't for you, then what are you panicking about?" ”

"Concubine...... The concubine ......" Queen Wang didn't know how to answer, and tears fell straight down, "Your Majesty, it's really not a concubine, the concubine just coaxed the two children to sleep, and after coaxing the children to sleep, she was called out by Mei Niang to drink tea." ”

Li Zhi asked with a gloomy face, "Then besides you, who else has entered this room alone?" ”

"And ...... There is also ...... "The queen looked at the slaves and maids, but she could not find a suitable back-handed man, because all the maidservants and nurses had not entered the inner room, and she was so anxious that she burst into tears."

At this time, Wu Meiniang also said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Queen, I treat you as my own sister, I didn't expect you to resent Mei Niang so much, if you think Mei Niang has caused you to be snubbed by the emperor, you can take revenge on Mei Niang, the child is innocent...... ......"He was already hinting at Li Zhi that Queen Wang was the murderer.

"No, no, I didn't harm the child, I really didn't ......" The queen could only keep defending at the moment, but she seemed so pale and weak.

Li Zhi turned his head and glanced at the maidservants, and finally his eyes fell on the queen's maidservants, and stepped forward to ask, "I ask you, besides the queen, who else has been alone with the child?" ”

How dare the queen's two maidservants lie to Li Zhi, and both shook their heads.

Li Zhi was unwilling, he didn't want to believe that the queen would do such a conscientious thing, because he and the queen had been married for many years, and he still knew the queen's temperament very well, although the queen was a little arrogant, but she was not a vicious person, so he asked again: "Then have you ever entered the inner room?" ”

The two maidservants were silent for a while, and they didn't dare to answer, because they were afraid that Li Zhi would let them take the blame.

"Talk back!" Li Zhi glared and shouted angrily, although he had a tempered temperament, but now that his child is dead, how can he not be angry, and anyone will not be able to stand it.

The two maidservants were so frightened by him that they both fell to their knees, and the two replied almost at the same time: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid entered the inner room with the two maids, but she came out soon, and she definitely did not kill the little princess." ”

Li Zhi asked again: "I ask you again, when you saw the little princess at that time, was the little princess still alive?" ”

The two maidservants said in unison: "Still alive, the slave maid sent the blanket in, and saw that the two maids were teasing the little princess and the little prince to play, and then the two maids wanted to talk privately, so they let the slaves and maids come out." ”

"I see." Hearing this, Li Zhi suddenly raised his head and closed his eyes, took a long breath, and then turned his head to look at Queen Wang, his eyes were full of coldness.

When Queen Wang saw his cold gaze, she suddenly trembled, and shook her head with teary eyes: "Your Majesty, it's not a concubine, it's really not a concubine......

Li Zhi had a gloomy face, and said in a cold voice: "Your handmaid has said this, what else do you have to quibble, who else can there be besides you?" ”

Queen Wang turned her head to look at Wu Meiniang, only to see Wu Meiniang crying there vigorously, that look, it looked more painful than her, she suddenly collapsed to the ground, her heart was full of despair, she knew that she was finished.

Although Li Zhi was very reluctant to believe all this, all the unfavorable evidence pointed to Queen Wang, forcing him to believe that he and Queen Wang had been married for many years, and their relationship was still very deep, and now that the Queen had done such a thing, he was very sad.

However, the state has national laws, the family has family rules, and the harem has the rules of the harem, even if Li Zhi is unwilling, he still personally ordered Li Yuanzhong to take Queen Wang to the deep palace where Concubine Xiao Shufei was imprisoned, and put her under house arrest, and then he immediately summoned all the important ministers and ordered that Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei be demoted to concubines.

Mainly because Li Zhi was too angry, he felt that Wu Meiniang was too pitiful, first he was poisoned, he was almost poisoned, and now his daughter was killed again, he must severely punish Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, in case anyone hurts Wu Meiniang in the future.

In the Ganlu Palace, when Liu Zheng heard Li Zhi's words, he was shocked, he hurriedly came out of the ranks, and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, the queen has always been virtuous and virtuous, and it is impossible to do such a thing that loses her conscience. ”

Li Zhi glared at Liu Zheng and snorted coldly: "Ming Cha, how do you want me to check clearly, Wu Zhaoyi and all the maidservants can prove that except for Wu Zhaoyi, only the queen has stayed alone with the little princess, and even the queen's maidservants said the same, you tell me, how to check!" ”

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, he couldn't figure out how things could have become like this, at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, since all the evidence has proved that this matter was done by the queen Wang, then there is no mistake, and the minister has no objection." ”

"The ministers have no objections." The ministers echoed in unison.

Liu Zheng looked at the eldest grandson Wuji in despair, he finally understood that he had been fooled, and he had fallen for the thief of the eldest grandson Wuji, from the beginning, Wu Meiniang was the person of the eldest grandson Wuji, where did the eldest grandson Wuji want to help the queen Wang, it was clear that he wanted to help Wu Meiniang, although he knew it now, but it was too late.

Liu Zheng could only shake his head and sigh, thinking that he didn't know how long he could do this Chinese book order.

Li Zhi looked at Liu Zheng and said coldly: "Liu Zheng, after you go back, you will immediately draft the will, if you can't plan it, I will propose another person!" The meaning of his words is obvious, if Liu Zheng dares to favor the queen and the king, he will take him down.

Liu Zheng could only salute and said, "Minister...... Obey the Holy Commandment! ”

This incident has caused a lot of turmoil in the harem and the court, and the officials who are disgusted with Wu Meiniang are very distressed, why are Concubine Xiao Shufei and Queen Wang so ignorant of the general situation, and they actually do such a thing, doesn't this make Wu Meiniang more favored?

The eldest grandson Wuji was proud, he didn't expect Wu Meiniang to be so lucky, only four or five months after entering the palace, Queen Wang was all poured by Concubine Xiao Shu, but he just thought that Wu Meiniang was lucky, and he didn't expect that all this was Wu Meiniang's trick, in his mind, who had nothing to poison himself and kill his own children.

Now that Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu have fallen, Wu Meiniang has the favor alone, and he, as the person who helped Wu Meiniang, will naturally be rewarded accordingly.

Just when the ministers were privately discussing the matter of Queen Wang killing Wu Meiniang's child, Li Hao had already embarked on the way home.

Because Wei Chi Baolin had been appointed as the consul of the Silla Consulate, leading an army of 20,000 troops to settle in Silla Jinseong, and according to the strict conditions set by Li Hao, closely monitoring the puppet regime of Silla, Weihaiwei's large sea ships were continuously transporting people to Silla, and it was expected that it would take three to five months to complete the immigration plan of 200,000 people.

On the third day of the lunar month, Li Hao returned to Chang'an, offering prisoners outside the Vermilion Bird Gate, Chang'an City was a sensation, and the people came to the streets one after another, singing praises to Li Hao's merits, and then, Li Hao entered the Liangyi Palace, participated in the court meeting, Li Zhi's mood finally improved a lot, and named Li Hao as the king of Qiongnan!

Li Hao was originally the king of Qiongnan County, and his title was equivalent to that of the Duke of the Kingdom, but everyone usually called him Simplified, calling him King Qiongnan, just like Li Daozong, although he was the king of Jiangxia County, his colleagues generally called him the King of Jiangxia.

And this time Li Hao was named the king of Qiongnan, that is the real king of Qiongnan, the title is above the national prince, which is equivalent to the vassal king, but the vassal king can build a private army, but Li Hao cannot.

In addition, it is the reward of some food and food estates, and the reward of good land and money, it can be said that this reward is really not good, but there is no way, Li Hao has basically reached the point where there is no seal, so Li Hao doesn't care too much about these rewards.

But Fan Lihua and Xue Rengui's rewards made Li Hao frown.

Fan Lihua's reward was to be awarded the title of Qinghai Protector, awarded the title of Shangzhu State, Hussar General, Jin Jue Lantian County Duke, and Deputy General of the Tiance Mansion.

The rest is easy to say, but what the hell is Qinghai Duhu, although Qinghai Duhu is in charge of the military and political power of Qinghai, but it is far away from the government, and it is still a chore, which is not a good thing for Fan Lihua, who is about to climb to the top just now.

Xue Rengui's reward is similar to Fan Lihua, Xue Rengui was awarded the title of Shangzhu State, appointed as the governor of Youzhou, and led the general of Zuo Xiaowei from afar, and Xue Rengui was also released.

If Fan Lihua's reward was an accident, then Xue Rengui was also released, this is not an accident that can be explained, Li Hao frowned secretly, if this is not what Li Zhi meant, then someone is making trouble.
