it's in the story
Years later, a little princess came to Hongwen Museum and found that the lock of a large box had rusted and fell off due to its age.
The little princess opened the box curiously, and saw that several volumes of files were neatly coded inside.
His Highness felt very strange: "Dawei Chronicle" is only a file that records what happened in the court every year, and there is absolutely no need to lock it up.
She raised her head and glanced at the bookshelf above the box. There was a shelf of "Dawei Chronicle" neatly placed on the shelf. Now, His Highness was even more suspicious. She counted the files in the box. There were thirteen volumes in total, according to the year. In terms of one volume, it should be thirteen years of content...
The curiosity of the little highness is even greater. What happened in the thirteen years locked up
His Highness took out the first volume and read: "The eighth year of Jingjia..."
His Highness's eyes widened, Jing Jia? Isn't this Taizong's year number
Filled with doubts, His Highness opened the "Dawei Chronicle" Jingjia's eighth-year volume.
Looking carefully from the beginning to the end, it seems that there is nothing special, until the end of the page, the little Highness exclaimed again.
In the eighth year of Jingjia, September.
On the same day, it was decreed that the marriage was granted, and Princess Zhuohua was married to Lu Zhongxing, the second son of Taiwei Lu Quan and the head of the imperial guard.
The heir-born Princess Zhen Zhen married Qi Yan, a student from a poor family in Jinzhou Prefecture, who was testing Hwarang in the Eighth Year Palace.
His Highness rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken, and then looked back with a guilty conscience. There is no one else in the Hongwen Pavilion but her, too... The inner hall of the Hongwen Pavilion can only be entered by members of the royal family who have received a hand letter. Why? Will there be someone else
His Highness turned his gaze back to the dossier, staring at the word "Qi Yan", his heart pounding, this person... I had never heard of it.
Nangong Xia Zhen Zhen is his own imperial grandmother. Although he has not been fortunate enough to see the true face, he also knows that this is the first female emperor of Dawei, a famous emperor through the ages.
But... I went through the royal family tree, and the royal husband of Nangong Zhenzhen recorded on it was not Qi Yan.
What the hell does this happen
As the dossier turned page by page, the frown of His Highness became deeper and deeper. Since the imperial grandmother was only a princess who lived in the deep palace for a long time before she ascended the throne, there are only a few records in the history books, but this mysterious person named Qi Yan There are quite a few inked.
As the dossier was flipped, His Highness saw that Qi Yan managed the Jinzhou Mansion in an orderly manner in only three years, and the people sang praises. After that, he also served as the chief examiner of a scientific examination, and there were more than a dozen students in the court. .
As far as this little highness knows, the Jinzhou faction is still a huge force in the DPRK. The officials of the Jinzhou faction are not only very united and look after each other, but also have the most worthy officials and officials...
Finally, His Highness read half of the dossier, and the time has come to the sixteenth year of Jingjia...
"Zhen Zhen's concubine Qi Yan, Qi Yuanjun, saw through King Yu's conspiracy and tricks, turned the tide with only one person's power, supported the empress's ascension to the throne, and was awarded the emperor's husband in the same year..."
Little Highness: "That's not right, could it be that the emperor has changed his name? Then he won't change his surname as well, right?"
His Highness quickly finished reading this dossier and continued to look down...
In the second year of Chengqi, the emperor's husband Qi Yan committed the crime of treason...
Little Highness: "What?!"
…
Time is integrated into the annals of history, the years are turning, and the first year is inherited.
On the night of the Longevity Festival, Qi Yan fed Nangong Jingnv "Tengyunjiawusan", and joined Gongyanghuai to control the Forbidden Palace and the capital, and began her plan to find the masked man.
Qiu Ju, Xia He, and Chen Chuansi were detained in isolation in the Dali Temple Heaven Prison, and all the palace staff of Ganquan Palace were taken to the Department of Prudence and Punishment.
In the middle of the night, Qi Yan left Gong Yanghuai to defend in Ganquan Palace, and he brought Qian Tong and several Youzhou government soldiers to the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison.
The first person to be arraigned was Qiu Ju. Qiu Ju was tied to a stake by the jailer and her mouth was gagged.
According to the jailer: Qiu Ju was the most violent of the three prisoners, screaming and hitting the wall to commit suicide. The jailer was worried that the prisoner would have an accident and tied her up. Qiu Ju’s hair was loose and her face was dirty. Yes, the clothes are wrinkled too, I think it was caused by fighting with the jailer.
The Dali Temple Heavenly Prison was cleared, Qi Yan ordered Qian Tong to take out the contents of Qiu Ju’s mouth. As soon as Qiu Ju’s mouth was free, he bit towards Qian Tong. Fortunately, Qian Tong was agile to escape, but But I couldn't escape Qiu Ju's saliva...
The wooden stake that tied Qiu Ju was earning a "quack", Qiu Ju spat Qiantong, and then began to scold Qi Yan: "Rebel, you have to die! You are sorry that your majesty treated you like this, yours Your conscience has been eaten by dogs! You rebellious pickled thief! You will go to hell! You will be slashed with a thousand swords!"
Qian Tong's face changed slightly, and he wanted to slap Qiu Ju.
Qi Yan: "Qian Tong! Don't be rude."
Qian Tong: "Master! She..."
Qi Yan: "Go back."
Qiu Ju sneered: "What? Want to bribe me? Dreaming! I advise you to kill me too, otherwise your affairs won't last long. As long as I'm still alive, I'll kill you!"
Qi Yan came to Qiu Ju, kept a distance that would not be hurt, and said in a very low voice, "I'm sorry, Sister Qiu Ju, you have worked hard all these years..."
Qiu Ju spat at Qi Yan, tears streaming down her face.
Qi Yan glanced at Qian Tong, who took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, uncorked it and brought it to Qiu Ju's mouth: "Please."
Qiu Ju glared at Qi Yan fiercely, then took the initiative to take the cork and drank it.
Qiu Ju: "You will be punished, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
The voice fell, and within five breaths, Qiu Ju tilted her head and lost consciousness.
Qi Yan: "Take her off, cover her with a white cloth, and let you guard it yourself, and send her out of the palace tomorrow morning."
Qian Tong: "Yes."
Qi Yan came to the other two cells, Xia He burst into tears and begged Qi Yan to bypass her for a way of life, thinking that she had served Qi Yan for many years, without credit or hard work.
Qi Yan listened to Xia He quietly, and also asked Qian Tong to pour her a bottle of medicine.
Finally, at Chen Chuansi's side, the other party didn't say anything, looked at the porcelain bottle in silence for a long time, and drank it...
Qiu Ju, Xia He, and Chen Chuansi lay side by side on the ground, covered with white cloth.
Qi Yan: "Take my token and personally send the three of them out of the palace tomorrow morning."
Qian Tong: "Yes."
Qi Yan: "Go and come back quickly."
Qian Tong: "Yes."
…
Qi Yan didn't kill them. What they fed and drank was Tengyunjiawusan mixed with alcohol. This dose was enough for them to sleep for seven days.
The three of them will be sent to Sifang Qianzhuang, where Qian Yuan will take care of them. Nangong Jingnv can only sleep for three days. During these three days, Qi Yan has to do everything she may not agree with. Qi Yan does not know about them. Three who are stubborn and who are innocent. However, with the attitude of Ning Zuo and not letting go, these three can no longer stay in the inner court, and when the time is right, Qian Yuan will return them to freedom.
I don't know how many hidden piles are hidden in this inner court, so many pairs of eyes can't see them, how can the masked people believe that Nangong Jingnu is dead? However... Being monitored also has the advantage of being monitored, Qi Yan's eyes flashed a trace of determination: As long as he is still alive, the masked man will never want to hurt Nangong Jingnu a hair.
Qi Yan found Qin De, the minister of military affairs, and Li Qiaoshan, the minister of labor, one of whom was Qi Yan's confidant brought from Jinzhou, with a clean background, and the other was the stub of the masked man.
The two were taken to the forbidden palace by the guards late at night, and before they were drunk, they knelt in front of Qi Yan: "See the palace."
Qi Yan: "You guys step back first."
Guard: "Yes."
Qi Yan: "The two adults also get up."
Qi Yan's face was deep, and he said in deep thought: "There is one thing that needs to be handled by two adults for this palace. After thinking about it, only the two of this palace can trust me the most."
Qin De: "Despite Ogong's orders."
Qi Yan glanced at Li Qiaoshan: "Just an hour ago, His Majesty was assassinated."
Qin De: "What?!"
Li Qiaoshan also showed consternation, but Qi Yan still caught a hint of joy in his eyes.
Qin De: "How is your Majesty?"
Qi Yan was silent for a long time: "The imperial doctor is already diagnosing and treating... But, alas..."
Qin De looked at Qi Yan blankly: "This... how can this be?"
Qi Yan: "Your Majesty Hong Fu Qitian will be fine, but now there are two very important things for the two of you to do."
Qin De, Li Qiaoshan: "Please instruct the palace."
Qi Yan: "This matter is not easy to make public. The assassin did not leave a living room. Qin De, you will take over the Dali Temple from now on, and try your best to track down the assassin Yu Dang."
Qin De: "Yes."
Qi Yan: "Li Qiaoshan brought people to find the whereabouts of King Huaiyang. This palace and His Majesty have no children. If... In short, it would be better if King Huaiyang and King Linjiang were both present."
Hearing this, Qin De's complexion changed slightly. Qi Yan said that, it is clear that His Majesty's situation is very bad, and even... has passed away, otherwise why did he not ask them to preside over the court or share government affairs, but entrust them to do some "Aftermath"
Qi Yan: "Jiangshan is the most important thing. Your Majesty is a woman who ascends the throne. If the news of the assassination on the day of the Longevity Festival spreads, people's hearts will be in chaos. Wanwang and the two are tight-lipped."
Qi Yan looked at Li Qiaoshan and added: "Unfortunately... Although the Imperial Forest Army arrived in time, they were unable to... However, Chen Chuansi, the head of the chambermaid, Qiu Ju, the female official in charge, and Xia He, the female official in charge of the palace, were all arrested. After the disposal, the body will be parked at the west corner gate, and when the palace gate opens tomorrow morning, it will be pulled to the mass grave."
Qin De: "This... Could it be that there are spies in the inner court?"
Qi Yan shook her head: "It's up to you to investigate this matter, but the three of them are the most suspicious, and they can't be left no matter what."
During the conversation, Qi Yan secretly released a signal to Li Qiaoshan: The Imperial Forest Army came too fast, and he failed to escape with the dark pile in time. Nangong Jingnu was actually "dead", and the so-called going out of the palace to find the King of Huaiyang was just a pretense, so that Li Qiaoshan could leave justifiably.
Qi Yan: "This palace is to blame for this matter. If I can't find the real culprit, I have no choice but to apologise with death. I will leave everything to the two of you."
Qin De, Li Qiaoshan: "Yes."
…
The mixed army of the Royal Forest Army and Youzhou Prefecture soldiers surrounded Ganquan Palace. Gongyanghuai also dispatched Gongyangfu's servants and all mobilized confidants to take over the guard duties of several palace gates.
There are three palace walls in Ganquan Palace. Gongyanghuai personally selected the soldiers of Youzhou Prefecture to be stationed in the innermost, and the rest of the Imperial Forest Army are stationed in the outer areas in turn, so that not even a fly can fly out.
Gong Yanghuai was under great pressure to do this, and even if Qi Yan had the intention of rebelling, he could not escape the relationship, but he still did it.
On the one hand, he and Qi Yan have known each other for many years and have accumulated enough trust. On the other hand, Gongyanghuai witnessed with his own eyes that Nangong Jingnv was still alive, and Qi Yan promised him that he could visit Nangong Jingnv once a day.
Nangong Jingnv is a woman after all, and it is impossible to have multiple imperial husbands, so the future children of Qi Yan and Nangong Jingnv will be the next generation of emperors. With this relationship, Gongyang Huai firmly believes that Qi Yan will not rebel.
Although the "corpses" of Qiu Ju, Xia He, and Chen Chuansi were secretly transported out of the palace, they were still seen by some people under Qi Yan's instruction.
The three directors of the Imperial Hospital were all "disappeared" and it is said that they were in Ganquan Palace...
On the second day of the Longevity Festival, many officials from other places were preparing to bid farewell to the Empress, but they were told that His Majesty was not going to court today, and that the servant who came to deliver the letter was not Eunuch Chen beside the Empress, but an unfamiliar face.
Some officials secretly inquired about it and said that His Majesty contracted the cold last night, and the imperial doctor said that he would rest for a few days.
But... it didn't take long for the ministers to inquire about another version released by Qi Yan and Gongyanghuai. The empress was assassinated, and her life and death were unknown.
Last night, there was a shrill cry from the female official in charge of Ganquan Palace. With the firelight, the assassin had already been killed when the Royal Forest Army arrived, but blood could be seen everywhere on the floor of the bedroom, and there was even blood on the screen in front of the dragon bed.
Moreover, the Empress did not show up when such a big thing happened, and all the follow-up matters were handled by the royal husband himself. The servants and servants of Ganquan Palace were all imprisoned in the Department of Shen Punishment, and the chiefs of the two palaces were first imprisoned in Dali Temple, and they were carried out with a white cloth after a while, and they were transported away from Xijiaomen before dawn. .
This version is too evil, many people didn't believe it at first, until the capital was blocked...
The city gates are closed, the streets are filled with soldiers from the patrol battalion, and the city walls are also equipped with archers to patrol. People in the capital can't get out, and people outside can't get in. Even a bird doesn't want to fly over the capital. Pass.
There was only one person who left the capital holding the imperial token, and that was Li Qiaoshan, a member of the Ministry of Works, who was said to have left with a secret mission.
All in all, the courtiers had to be convinced that this version was the real thing.
If it is really just "accidental wind chill", why keep it secret
And there is such a change in the capital, could it be... The Empress is already dead
