Seeing Sun Shaozu's expression change, the thousand households who were talking happily stopped immediately, then bent down and said, "I have forgotten the rules in my humble position, please don't blame me!"
Sun Shaozu said In the mood to blame, he just wanted to clear things up.
"You...tell me exactly what happened just now. Don't miss a word!"
Seeing that Sun Shaozu was so solemn, even though these thousands of households were unknown, He was there, but he still responded carefully: "Yes!"
Then, he explained the situation in detail.
Hearing the key point, Sun Shaozu asked in a deep voice: "You mean... that person heard the man named Meng scolding me, and then said he was going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, saying that he had something to report? "
"Exactly...exactly!"
Sun Shaozu nodded. He was almost sure that Guo Xing acted so abnormally after hearing his name.
He came to the capital today, and he didn't know that I had already taken up the post of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities. That's why he was so horrified when he heard someone named Meng scolding me... Sun Shaozu thought further.
And Guo Xing's reaction proved a more serious problem, that is, this person had already thought through what happened back then... Sun Shaozu became more and more frightened.
Back then, he betrayed intelligence and killed Governor Ning Huanxiang. This was a first-class treason, and it was inevitable to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.
If his master Zhu Jinghong learns of this, he will immediately draw a clear line with him and try to get rid of him as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozu broke into a cold sweat, and his expression became more murderous.
This made Qianhu in front of him very frightened. He thought carefully about which of his words was wrong to make the commander so angry.
"Where is that beggar?"
"My lord... I was taken away by Meng Yushi, and now I am afraid that he has entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
"Go down!"
"Yes!"
How could these thousands of households dare to ask more questions? After hearing this, they immediately retreated and even dared to leave the house. Breathe.
In the house, Sun Shaozu had made up his mind to get rid of Guo Xing.
But the problem now is that Guo Xing has already gone to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If the truth of the matter is revealed by him, he, Sun Shaozu, will also be in trouble.
Paceling back and forth, Sun Shaozu kept wiping his sweat. At this moment, he was in a certain death situation.
"There must be a way, I have to think about it, I have to think about it..."
After walking back and forth for more than ten times, Sun Shaozu suddenly stopped, and then He slapped his forehead and said, "I'm really stupid. This matter... just muddies the water!"
Sit back on the chair, Sun Shaozu poured himself a cup of tea and whispered: "I It was completely preemptive, saying that Guo Xing had an old grudge with me and framed me in order to exonerate himself."
"The man named Meng is a disciple of Prince Rui's house. If he really wants to take more care! As for other things, I can also say...the two of them conspired to use me to attack Prince Xiang's Mansion!"
"In this way, the grievances between Guo Xing and me will become the grievances between Prince Rui's Palace and Prince Xiang's Palace!"
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozu's heart skipped a beat, just because He is walking a tightrope and will be shattered into pieces if he is not careful.
However, even a narrow escape is better than a certain death.
"No, no, no...I still think less. If Guo Xing really tells the truth to the man named Meng, the latter may not immediately attack!"
"One thing he needs Do more research instead of just listening to Guo Xing’s words; the second matter is indeed something that can be used by Prince Rui’s Palace to launch an attack at a critical moment.”
At this time, Sun Shaozu figured out what to do about this matter! Now that the matter has been revealed, it really involves two palaces, and even the East Palace House.
In this way, Sun Shaozu felt more at ease.
If the incident hadn't happened immediately, maybe I could have arranged it calmly and nip it in the bud... Sun Shaozu had a new idea.
The so-called calm arrangement is actually to get rid of Guo Xing, so that there will be no further consequences, and the sooner the better.
"Who should I look for to kill him?" Sun Shaozu was a little troubled.
There are many people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for him, but there are only a few people he can truly trust, so he has to think a lot!
As for Guo Xing, he followed Meng Kuan to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and explained the situation directly.
He said that he was the commander of Ning Huanxiang's bodyguards. He did not commit treason and surrender to the enemy, but was captured after losing a fierce battle.
Guo Xing did not take the initiative to mention the matter of Sun Shaozu. He just wanted to clear his name and not create extraneous problems.
As the censor of the city, Meng Kuan has seen all kinds of weird things, but what he heard today still surprised him.
"Do you mean what you said?" Meng Kuan looked suspicious.
"How dare you lie? My lord, think about it. If the villain is really guilty, why would he need to come back to Beijing or follow you to the government?"
"Isn't this not true? Are you throwing yourself into a trap?"
After thinking about it carefully, Meng Kuan felt that it made sense, but he did not believe Guo Xing directly.
He asked Guo Xing other questions, and then asked his old acquaintance in Jingying. After verifying Guo Xing's identity, he asked him to go home first and wait for verification.
Seeing that the censor was willing to give him a chance, Guo Xing burst into tears of gratitude, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
"Thank you, sir, for restoring my innocence!"
"That's all. If what you said is true, you are still a hero of the imperial court. It is my fault that you have suffered unjust injustice. Wait until the censor fails to correct the mistake!"
As long as party disputes and self-interest are not involved, these censors still have to be more ethical than other affairs officers.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
After thanking him, Guo Xing hurried home in the company of his former colleagues.
Having not been home for several years, he missed his wife and children especially and hatedDon't spread your wings and fly back.
Not long after he returned home, Sun Shaozu changed into casual clothes and went to the Guo family to survey the terrain in person.
Since people are going to be killed, it is natural to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and surveying the terrain is a must.
As for the candidates, Sun Shaozu already has several candidates, all of whom are his old subordinates in the army, and he is ready to thank them generously.
After two rounds, Sun Shaozu had a rough idea, and then he went back to his house.
Even if he has a few candidates in mind, Sun Shaozu still has to be cautious when looking for someone to do this kind of head-turning business.
The first thing is to test the so-called candidates, and then express their feelings after confirming that they are suitable. This kind of thing will take two or three days.
Sun Shaozu’s early analysis believed that even if Guo Xing revealed something, King Rui’s party would verify it before taking action, so he was not in a hurry.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the tenth day of the first lunar month.
A big event happened in the Heavenly Palace. When the emperor and the empress were entertaining their concubines at Kunning Palace, the empress fainted from exhaustion.
The originally beautiful banquet could only end hastily. The emperor summoned several imperial doctors to come for diagnosis and treatment, but they only knew that the queen was weak, but there was no unified explanation of the root cause of the disease.
Under the current medical conditions, it would have been impossible to determine the cause of the Queen's illness.
So these imperial doctors were at a loss as to how to cure the queen.
Before this, they had also treated the Queen, but they always prescribed tonic medicines and did not dare to treat her boldly.
In the past few years, the queen's symptoms seemed to be weaker than those of ordinary people, which made these doctors think that their medicine was effective and at least maintained the queen's condition.
But now, the queen suddenly fell ill and couldn't get up, which shocked these people.
"If it can't be cured, then all of them will die!" Zhu Xianming angrily yelled.
The several imperial doctors who were already panicking were now kneeling on the ground and their bodies were like chaff. They were so frightened that they lost the ability to think.
"Your Majesty, if you don't want me to be impatient, don't embarrass them!"
The queen suddenly woke up, Zhu Xianming left several imperial doctors behind and quickly came to sit in front of the queen's bed. Down.
"Qingyin, don't worry...you will get better!" Zhu Xianming said with great concern.
"This is not an illness, it's my life... Don't embarrass them, and don't... embarrass other people!" Yang Qingyin said with a weak breath.
"If it weren't for these quack doctors and those servants who didn't care, how could you..."
Before the emperor finished speaking, he saw Yang Qingyin trying to get up, with a smile on her face. He begged, "Your Majesty... is he going to force me to death?"
"Lie down, lie down... I just won't kill them!" Zhu Xianming was extremely anxious.
At this point, Zhu Xianming turned around and yelled: "You idiots, get out of here!"
This isAt this moment, after walking around the gate of hell and coming back, several imperial doctors were scared to death. After hearing these words, they immediately kowtowed and then retreated.
"Your Majesty, don't make things difficult for anyone. If you want to blame, blame me...
"You! ”
“It’s me who concealed my illness, it has nothing to do with them! "
"What are you doing? "Zhu Xianming looked anxious. He rarely loses his composure like this.
The real situation is that Yang Qingyin had been actively treated before, but it had basically no effect. His body was getting worse day by day, so he no longer expected to recover. .
But in order not to worry the emperor, and not to embarrass the imperial doctors, she could only hide her illness.
"I said, this is not a disease, it is life!
Yang Qingyin’s face was pale, but she still managed to smile: “I killed so many people back then, maybe when I was hit by that arrow, I should have died... To be able to live to this day, even Lao Shisan and Sheng'er has already given birth to children, and I have no regrets in this life! ”
Zhu Xianming was angry: “I was the one who went on a killing spree back then, and that arrow was also shot at me. If God wants to punish me, I should be punished... It has nothing to do with you!” "
"Okay, don't talk about this..."
"Okay...Okay...don't say it, don't say it! "Zhu Xianming replied quickly. He is as careful as a child in his fifties.
"In this life...I have given birth to children for you and taken care of your housework. I...have never asked you for anything. Something! "
This is indeed true. Although Yang Qingyin quarreled with the emperor a lot in her life, she always considered the emperor's interests and advised him on his faults to avoid making mistakes.
Holding his wife's hand tightly, Zhu Xianming said eagerly: "Whatever you want, I will agree to it! "
"One...don't embarrass anyone because of me! "
Zhu Xianming was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, although he didn't want to agree.
"Two...it's spring now, let Thirteen come back, I I'm afraid... I won't be able to see him! ”
When Yang Qingyin said the last sentence, tears welled up in the corners of Yang Qingyin’s eyes. She was really afraid that she would not be able to see her son for the last time.
Zhu Xianming’s tears also rolled in his eyes, so he looked away. After blinking, he turned back and replied: "Okay... okay... I will send someone to tell him now and ask him to come back to Beijing immediately! ”
“What else? Say it all... say it all, I'll have someone do it right away! ”
Yang Qingyin smiled, then shook her head, and even stretched out her hand to wipe her husband’s eyes.
As an emperor on horseback, Zhu Xianming has always been a The image of steel has never shed tears, let alone being seen crying.
But at this moment, he had to admit that he was really scared and wanted to cry. He didn't want to lose his wife who had been together for his entire life.
p>
Leaning down so that the queen's hands could reach his eyes, Zhu Xianming still smiled, just to prevent the queen from being too worried.
"Silang, do you still remember... you and me. What was it like when we first met? ”
"Remember...remember!" Zhu Xianming's tone was choked with sobs. He did not expect that he would be so disappointed.
Yang Qingyin sighed: "Forty years!"
This year Zhu Xianming is fifty-six years old. The royal family chooses a concubine and gets married at the age of sixteen, so it is exactly forty years. .
When Zhu Xianming heard this number, his thoughts flew far away, and the afternoon more than forty years ago came to mind.
At this time, Yang Qingyin asked with a smile: "Why...why did you choose me then?"
At this time, outside Kunning's gate, Yuan Chun, Chen Zhi and Baochai rushed to hear the news. They came over, accompanied by their sister-in-law Zhu Yunsheng.
As for the prince and Prince Rui, they went out of the city to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum. It will take some time for the news to spread, and I'm afraid it will take another hour to feel it.
The queen was critically ill, and other wives of the clan also came one after another, but they were all blocked from Kunning's gate.
Looking at the four people entering the palace, the wives present started talking in low voices, but they were discussing the queen's condition.
After several people entered the palace, Yuan Chun was naturally the first to come forward to say hello, but it was not Yang Qingyin who wanted to see her, so she just nodded without saying a word.
As for Chen Zhi, who was the second to come forward, she was even more embarrassed in front of the queen. Although she was very enthusiastic, she didn't respond, and in the end she could only retreat to the back in embarrassment.
Baochai was next, and the queen just nodded. She didn't say a few more words until Zhu Yunsheng approached her.
For the queen, her only relatives in the world, apart from the emperor, are her three sons and one daughter.
Except for these five people, she didn't care about anyone else at this time. She wanted to conserve her energy as much as possible until the day her youngest son came back.
As for whether she can survive it, Yang Qingyin herself doesn’t know.
A few people stayed with the queen for a while. After she fell into a deep sleep, Zhu Xianming allowed everyone to disperse. Only Zhu Yunsheng was allowed to stay and wait on her.
About an hour later, the prince and Prince Rui rushed back, with worried expressions on their faces.
A few people were waiting in the main hall of Kunning Palace. The emperor sat in the main seat with a livid face. The others could only sit quietly with them. The atmosphere in the palace was extremely solemn.
Soon after an hour passed, when the queen woke up, everyone came into the palace to visit, and at the same time the maids brought soup and medicine.
The Tai Hospital has already conducted a consultation. Just based on the queen's performance today, these people knew that time was running out.
What they can do is to prolong the queen's lifespan as much as possible, so they are more bold in using medicine now, but they are mainly tonic medicines.
Not to mention, the queen had quick effects after taking it. As expected, her face was rosy and she could sit up.
In this scene, everyone present felt at ease, but the reasons for their relief were somewhat different.
The emperor simply did not want to lose his wife. Although the prince and Prince Rui did not want to lose their mother, they were more concerned about the stability of the court.
Yes, although the queen never deals with political affairs, she is very concerned about the situation of the DPRK.The intervention ability is extremely strong.
In terms of correlation, it has a strong balancing effect on the relationship between the three brothers.
From this point of view, the prince is the one who least wants his old mother to leave.
Everyone stayed in the palace until the sun was about to set, and then they left the palace and returned home.
After Baochai returned to the palace, she sat quietly in the study alone, thinking about the next thing.
I don’t know how long it took, but after the candles had been lit for a long time, Ying’er’s voice came from the door: “Princess, Empress Lin is here!”
