Above the court, an official was impassioning Dali Si Qing, counted his dozens of charges, and listed a pile of evidence.
The expressions of the officials are a little subtle. Everyone knows that Dali Siqing has a good relationship with Shengjun King, and he respects Shengjun King very much. Now this person is impeaching Dali Siqing, and he is undoubtedly against Shengjun King.
A small censor dared to do this, who gave him the courage? Or... Who is the main messenger behind him
And the emperor really did not miss this opportunity, when even took off the black gauze hat of Dali Siqing, and detained him in court and put him in jail, and he would continue to be released later.
Almost everyone has learned a signal, that is, the emperor is going to attack the king of Shengjun! People in the court are divided into several factions, one is the staunch royalists, who say what the emperor says; the other is the royalists, who feel that the emperor has no children, and should choose one of the royal nephews to be the heir, this faction Most of the people support King Shengjun; there is another faction that is a neutral party, and they often choose what they think is right or beneficial to themselves, regardless of which faction.
In the view of the neutrals, the emperor's decision is not necessarily the right one, and King Shengjun is not necessarily the best choice. They don't have to rush to stand, so as not to offend the next real emperor. They would rather not be a thorn in the side of the next emperor from the dragon's merit.
Emperor Qilong's attitude was too firm, so that the people of Shengjun Wang's party could not ask for mercy, and could only watch the imperial guards drag Dali Siqing away.
"I think Zhang Hou is a very good person. As the Dali Temple Minister, let him temporarily replace him." In order to show his fairness, the emperor specially chose Zhang Houlai, the young minister of Dali Temple, who had dissatisfied him. Dali Temple Secretary.
The officials were a little surprised. Wasn't this Zhang Hou, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who caused the emperor's wrath because of the investigation of the Prince's case? Why did the emperor promote him so generously, they thought that the emperor would take anger on this person because of the death of the prince.
Of course, Emperor Qilong was not a big man. He promoted Zhang Hou just for others to see. He wants the world to know that he can even reuse people like Zhang Hou, so the person who is being dismissed by him now is not because of his personal interests, but because this person really committed a heinous crime.
In other words, he just found a fig leaf for himself.
Yan Jinqiu stood with his head lowered and nothing to do with himself. In the eyes of others, he felt that King Xian was worthy of being King Xian, and he was really light. You must know that if King Shengjun loses power, then King Xian is more likely to succeed him.
It's a pity that this guy doesn't like power, it's a waste of his talents.
Everyone thought that the imperial censor who impeached the Dali Siqing was arranged by the emperor, even Yan Boyi thought the same. After leaving the court, he glanced at the censor coldly, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Prince Sheng," King Ning walked in front of him with a smile, and said with emotion, "People are really bold now, what do you think?"
"King Ning is not feeling unwell recently. If that's the case, it's better to keep busy and rest more at home," the King of Shengjun handed over coldly, "Go ahead and say goodbye."
"Tsk," King Ning touched his chin, watching Yan Boyi walk away quickly, then turned his head to look at Yan Jinqiu, who was walking leisurely not far away, and blinked, maybe it was time to make a decision.
In the following months, there were many turmoils in the DPRK and China, and several high-ranking officials were replaced, and most of these people have one thing in common, that is, they have close contacts with the King of Shengjun, or are extremely sympathetic to the King of Shengjun. admired person.
Ordinary people only thought that the emperor was going crazy because of the death of his son, but they didn't know that this was a political battle.
The layman is watching the excitement, the expert is watching the door, many officials who used to be close to Yan Boyi have been walking on thin ice recently, and even cut off contact with the Shengjun Wangfu to show their position.
"Who exactly leaked the secret?!" Yan Jinqiu looked at the few advisers in the room with a sullen face. These people were his confidants, but at this moment he had some doubts that some of them betrayed him.
Some of the officials who were liquidated had no relationship with him at all, but even so, the emperor sent them down, which showed that the emperor already knew that they had private connections.
But how did the emperor know
"Your Highness," the advisors looked at each other, they didn't expect things to suddenly develop like this, and they even suspected each other.
Seeing them like this, Yan Boyi didn't say much, just rubbed his forehead tiredly and said, "What should you do about this?"
"Your Majesty has already made up his mind that you won't get along with you, Prince County, we might as well..." One of the advisors didn't say anything, but Yan Boyi glared at him and dared not speak any more.
"All retreat." Since Yan Boyi had already suspected these advisers, he naturally wouldn't really discuss important matters with them, so he sighed helplessly after driving everyone out of the study.
Originally, everything was ready, and he only owed Dongfeng. Who knew that the situation would turn so fast that he was driven to a dead end.
Now that it has developed to this stage, it can only be ruthless or die.
He clenched his fists, got up and walked towards the main courtyard.
In Prince Xian's mansion, Hua Xiwan wiped her face with a handkerchief, shook her fan and said, "It's only May, why is the weather so hot?"
"The slaves also feel that this year is extraordinarily hot," Bai Xia fanned Hua Xiwan and said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, I'll give you a fan and it won't be so hot."
"It's a little hot, maybe it's going to rain," Hua Xiwan breathed heavily. "Make me another bowl of borneol and white fungus. It's so hot that I panic."
"Princess, you can't eat too much cold food, you already used a bowl this morning," Bai Xia shook the fan for her, "Why don't the servants make you a cup of herbal tea."
Hua Xiwan was not someone who didn't know the good and bad, so she could only sigh when she heard the words: "Okay, you guys also go down and drink a bowl." Pulling on the tulle, she lay on the table weakly, seeing that Yan Jinqiu didn't come in. Move it.
"What's wrong?" Yan Jinqiu was wearing neat robes. Seeing Hua Xiwan's face flushed with heat, he immediately said, "Why is there no ice in the room?"
"I started using ice in May. What should I do in June and July?" Hua Xiwan glanced at him weakly, and seeing that he was still wearing a robe outside, she said, "Why are you still wearing so thick?"
Yan Jinqiu took off his outer robe, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed: when he looked back and saw Hua Xiwan still lying on his stomach, he stepped forward and said, "Let's go to Huxin Pavilion to sit, it's ventilated there, it must be a lot cooler."
Hua Xiwan took a sip of the tea that Bai Xia presented, and the tea entered her throat, which was indeed indescribably cool, and finally gave her some energy: "Let's go."
The lotus flowers in the lake have already buds. Hua Xiwan lay on the stone table in the pavilion and said lazily, "I see that you look very good today, what happened?"
"Since I married you, good things have happened to me every day," Yan Jinqiu poured her a glass of water, "Am I in a bad mood before?"
"Don't say sweet words," Hua Xiwan looked up at him and said, "How many times have you been happy?"
Yan Jinqiu's heart moved slightly when he heard the words, and then he laughed loudly: "If you have a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?"
Hua Xiwan was too lazy to pay attention to his inexplicable emotional seizures, took a sip of tea from the cup he handed over, and blew the cool breeze, feeling that even the irritability in her heart had disappeared a lot.
The husband and wife had just cooled off for a quarter of an hour when news came from the palace that the princess was about to give birth.
"I'm about to give birth?" Hua Xiwan was stunned for a while. It doesn't seem to be full term yet
Wooden channel: "There has been news from the palace that the princess has entered the delivery room, but it has been almost an hour or two, and the little emperor has not moved."
Hua Xiwan and Yan Jinqiu looked at each other, and Yan Jinqiu said, "Since that's the case, let's wait and see. It's not appropriate for us to rush into the palace now."
It's okay for the crown princess to give birth smoothly, but if it doesn't go well, wouldn't they become the emperor's air bag when they enter the palace now
After another hour, the news from the palace was still that the little emperor had not come out.
Then the husband and wife had a lunch and slept for a while, and the news came again from the palace that the little grandson had not yet been born.
At this time, the thunderstorm was about to come. I saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, strong winds, and it was about to rain.
When the first thunder sounded, the pouring rain finally poured down. Hua Xiwan looked at the little flowers that were beaten up and down in the yard, and had an inexplicable intuition in her heart that the child of the Crown Princess might be born, but only born. In the future, what may be faced is not a blessing, but something else.
When the night fell, a thunderstorm suddenly sounded, and a pine and cypress beside the imperial mausoleum in the suburbs of Beijing was suddenly torn apart by the thunder, and the house next to it used to guard the mausoleum was burned. Although the rain was heavy, the whole house Still burnt clean.
"gave birth!"
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen, the crown princess gave birth to a grandson."
"Report, Your Majesty, the cypress tree in the imperial mausoleum was torn apart by lightning, and the house where the guardian of the mausoleum lived was completely burnt down by the fire."
"Report, Your Majesty, there is a sky fire in the suburbs of Beijing, burning more than ten houses!"
The children's cries and thunder continued to sound, but the atmosphere at the scene froze.
At the moment of the birth of the emperor's grandson, so many strange things happened suddenly, and even the tree of the emperor's mausoleum was struck by lightning. What does this mean
Representing the birth of this little grandson, it brings a bad omen.
Emperor Qilong looked at the infant child, and after a long time, he managed to hold back the anger in his heart: "Prepare the altar, I will give incense to the ancestors."
There are such coincidences in the world, even if he doesn't mind this child, in the eyes of others, this child represents only unknown.
Emperor Qilong has not felt the taste of being persecuted for a long time, but today, regardless of whether he believes in the so-called destiny, he has to accuse his ancestors, otherwise he is unfilial.
Or, this is not man-made, is it really that the ancestors are dissatisfied with the dirty things they have done
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. He looked back at the direction of the delivery room. The imperial decree that had been prepared was not issued in the end.
He didn't want to lose the reputation of being a faint-hearted king after his death, just wait and think of a way in the future.
