Forty-nine
Old Mrs. Wei had hardly slept all night, and she had been in shock almost all the time since she heard that Wei An handed over the seal in that purse to Lin Sanshao and asked Lin Sanshao to hand it over to Emperor Longqing.
No one knew better than her what that seal represented, and it represented the darkest past in Emperor Longqing's heart.
Emperor Longqing was a gloomy and arrogant young man since he was a teenager, he was obviously extremely eager for the favor of the first emperor, but he always made a look of indifference on his face, and he was a very stubborn person.
He always refused to admit that he was extremely King Zhou, and after the death of King Zhou, he fell seriously ill.
Empress Ming told her a long time later, saying that the reason why King Zhou died violently was that he really had nothing to do with Emperor Longqing----- Emperor Longqing knew that King Zhou could not drink, and deliberately poured him a lot of liquor at a banquet, and then sent him into the backyard to rest.
But this rest was wrong----- King Zhou went to the wrong place, and he went straight into the bedroom of the female dependents in the inner courtyard of the house.
This is the banquet of the Feng family, and the Feng family was also a family that was deeply respected by the first emperor at that time, and when such an incident happened, the girl of the Feng family hanged herself, and the Feng family lost face.
Emperor Longqing felt that he was too happy, and after appeasing the Feng family, he scolded King Zhou in front of the cabinet ministers, King Zhou had always been deeply favored, where was he treated like this, King Zhou went back and fell ill.
Later, Emperor Longqing went to see him, and when he saw that he was depressed and very decadent, he gave him an idea, so that when the first emperor had a long life, he would surprise and give the first emperor a rare gift.
King Zhou agreed, searched for a long time, followed the advice of Emperor Longqing, and found a jade plaque from Zhaotong that I heard that it was just dug out of the ground, the jade quality is excellent, and it is extremely transparent and warm, and what is even more rare is that there is a lotus flower faintly floating in it.
He sent it up with hope, thinking that he could win the favor of the first emperor, at least let the first emperor dissipate his anger, but who knew that it was useless at all, and it also played a counterproductive role, the first emperor didn't know why, he was trembling by this jade plate, pointing at him and scolding him for being unfilial.
As soon as these words were said in front of all the ministers, King Zhou really had no place to stand since then.
He completely fell out of favor and was confined in the palace, along with the children of King Zhou, who was very liked by Emperor Longqing in the past, and lost the opportunity to enter the palace.
King Zhou was not imprisoned for long----- because he died suddenly for some reason.
The first emperor didn't want to really kill this son, knowing that King Zhou was dead, he was in a bad mood for a long time, and then confided in the queen at that time, saying that King Zhou had made mistakes repeatedly, and even gave him a jade plaque for the dead to be buried with, he was really angry, so he scolded King Zhou, and was ready to let him think about it for a while.
The jade plate was given by Emperor Longqing.
Mrs. Wei knew it.
She also knew that the reason why Emperor Longqing wanted to kill the Ming family in the first place may be the reason why Empress Ming also knew about this later.
Even Queen Ming, who only vaguely knew about this at the beginning, and did not open it, was like that later.
The one who sent this seal now has no way to live.
But even if Lin Sanshao is now Emperor Longqing's extremely trusted confidant, and if he hands over this kind of thing, he is afraid that he will be angry------ how can he quietly lure Xue Changshi out?
Mrs. Wei tossed and turned, and she didn't sleep well all night, and when she got up the next day, her face was very bad.
Ming Jing and the others came to ask for peace, and looked at the old lady Wei's face and was very worried, especially Wei Jue, who kept urging to invite the imperial doctor, saying that it would not work like this.
Mrs. Wei felt happy when she looked at them, shook her head with a slight smile and refused, and said of Wei Jue: "If you have time, it is better to think more about marriage, although your second aunt and third aunt will worry about you, but in the end, it is your own family business, and you should pay more attention." Mianmian has to go over and see it from time to time. ”
After looking at it for so long, Wei Jue is indeed a good offspring, unlike the county lord of Changning, Mrs. Wei really likes him very much, so she is naturally willing to help him think more.
Speaking of Chen Mianmian's matter, he was a little embarrassed, Wei Jue hung his head a little shyly, looked at Mrs. Wei and hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreeing.
Ming Jing has always rarely spoken, but at this time, looking at Mrs. Wei's expression, he couldn't help but worry, looked at Mrs. Wei, and said after a while: "Old lady, are you really not uncomfortable?" ”
For this child, Mrs. Wei has always been the most favored, she reached out to beckon Ming Jing to her side, held his hand and patted it, before she said softly: "Don't worry, I have nothing to do, it's just that I thought about things too late last night, so I was a little out of spirit this morning, today is a good day, you don't have to guard me, young man, you have to go out to play." ”
Her attention was not on the children, and when Guard came, she told them to retreat.
"Sanshao will deliver the things today at the latest." She took a sip of tea and looked at Wei An, with a serious expression: "That thing is too taboo, no one can predict how the saint reacts when he sees that thing, are you really sure in your heart?" ”
Wei An knew why Mrs. Wei was worried, and when she saw that her face was very bad, she knew that she was worried, and felt very guilty: "Grandmother, don't worry...... I know it's risky, but trust me, I'm sure that this matter will never involve our Wei family, so I chose to do it. ”
Wei An said so surely, but Mrs. Wei was not relieved, she thought about it, suddenly thought of something, glanced at Wei An in disbelief, and no longer had the heart to think about anything else, looked at Wei An, and asked in shock for a while: "An An, are you asking Lin Sanshao to say that the things presented are sent by the people of the Ping An Dart Bureau?!" You're too adventurous! ”
She couldn't help it, coughed violently a few times, lowered her head but couldn't help the horror in her heart: "You don't know, this matter is not trivial, this thing is really an ominous thing, as long as it is stained, in the heart of the saint, I am afraid it is already an intolerable sin, the Xie family has too much contact with our family, everyone knows these things, I know that you want to use the power of the saint, but you think about it carefully, what if the saint is indiscriminate and just wants to cover up this matter?" Then, the situation of our Wei family is really worrying......"
This matter is not child's play, of course she believes that Guard is smart, but at the same time, this matter is not something that can be solved by being smart..... The Emperor's Joy and Anger......
