Sure enough, the judge of the ancient court inserted the silver needle into the pot of "pink makeup building" in front of everyone. In an instant, the bright silver needle turned black and dull!
"It is well known that Yongfu presented it to His Majesty! Would my daughter be stupid enough to do something in such an obvious place?" Queen Jiang naturally would not let go of this opportunity to clear her daughter's grievances, and said loudly, "Indeed, This potted flower! If Ning Yi hadn't been so alert, I would have been wronged for the rest of my life!"
"This potted flower was brought up by your people..." When things developed to this point, Queen Mother Gu could not maintain her determination and couldn't help shouting, "Who knew they..."
But now that the queen's party had a reason, they didn't bother to continue with her. Empress Jiang winked, and the little chamberlain who had already understood it suddenly rushed up to the palace, knelt down with a plop, and while kowtowing, he revealed that Queen Mother Qi Gu ordered her to frame the queen. The "Fenzhuang Tower" poisoned the emperor and murdered him!
This little chamberlain took the lead. None of the people serving in Funing Palace knew that the emperor had been murdered. According to the rules, they all had to be buried with him. Not to mention, their family members might also be affected. The only chance of survival was to stand in line, even if they were on the right side. If I can’t survive, at least my family can get some benefits, right
The palace officials who rushed to expose the madness of Queen Mother Gu and killed her son with her own hands made the whole palace fall into silence - even Tang Zimo looked at Queen Mother Gu who was looking up in astonishment!
In this case, Queen Mother Gu finally used her trump card!
She slumped on the phoenix throne, pointed at everyone in the palace with trembling hands, and said through gritted teeth: "You... you are good... good... good... do you think that by working together to slander the Ai family, you can confuse right and wrong? You knew it before when the emperor was poisoned. You will never admit that a blood edict has been written. Now that the blood edict has been sent out of the palace, you are not afraid of being punished by everyone in the world... Why should the Ai family be afraid of death? "
"...!" Qiu Yilan stared at the hysterical Queen Mother Gu in shock, "This... is this her back-up plan?!"
This is basically a jade stone that will perish together, okay? !
As mentioned before, Darui's most powerful military forces are the Zhenbei Army and the Zhenxi Army. These two armies are elite divisions that have withstood foreign tests for many years. But of course Darui cannot have only two armies. Not counting the emperor's own army, the Yulin Army, there are also regular local armies.
These conventional armies will certainly not be opponents of the Zhenbei Army and the Zhenxi Army.
But there is a question here - can the Zhenbei Army and the Zhenxi Army easily leave the border
Of course not... If they dare to leave the border and march inland, the aliens will follow in minutes to take advantage of them!
As soon as Empress Dowager Gu's blood edict is released, ambitious people in Da Rui can raise the flag and rebel. No, if you have a righteous name, that's not called rebellion, it's called Qing Junzi! It is still particularly just to avenge the emperor - I will soon call him the late emperor!
"This is a plan to accidentally turn a prosperous era into a chaotic one, or even change the rhythm of the dynasty!" Qiu Yilan twitched the corners of her mouth and looked at Xue Chang not far away. This famous prime minister of the current dynasty has always been calm. Although he was showing off his composure, this was the first time Qiu Yilan saw him looking so angry!
Also... The prosperous age of this dynasty started with Tao Yinsong. After Tao Yinsong died, Xue Chang took over. It was created by these two men. As a result, they worked hard and painstakingly to manage a prosperous situation. In order to fight for power and gain, Queen Mother Gu would send a bloody edict to plunge the world into trouble. It is estimated that even if Xue Nongying had not been involved, Xue Chang would have wanted to pounce on this selfish old woman. Got it! ! !
"Your Majesty has passed away. The Queen Mother is overly grieved. Her body is not in good shape. She should be cared for and cared for in a respectful manner. I would also like to ask the Queen Mother to serve her in the Taishi Hall of Ganquan Palace. She has issued an edict to prohibit domestic and foreign disturbances!" After a brief silence and a sigh, Duke Qin's voice came out. He sounded coldly, "So that the Queen Mother can concentrate on recuperating and recover as soon as possible!"
After that, he didn't bother to look at the Queen Mother Gu who was laughing crazily. She turned to Xue Chang, Tang Zimo and others, "As for the blood edict..."
Of course we need to pool our efforts to deal with this!
... Qiu Yilan left the palace with a heavy heart, and was caught by Jiang Yashuang in front of the palace gate.
"Why didn't you go in?" she asked casually.
Duke Qin and Queen Jiang's deliberate cultivation of Jiang Yashuang can be seen by a blind person. There is no matter big or small that he does not take with him. Today, so many people from the Jiang family were called into Funing Palace, but Jiang Yashuang was not there. If the atmosphere in Funing Palace had not been bad and she was involved in the incident again, she would have found someone to find out the reason.
Now I see my husband and I have to ask.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yashuang's words made her stunned: "My grandfather asked me to lead people to track down the people who left the palace today. I just captured several servants and finally found the blood edict..."
"Wait!" Qiu Yiluo covered his mouth in surprise, pulled him into the carriage and asked softly, "Is that the blood edict that the whole world is demanding?! How did my grandfather know? Could it be that there is someone from my grandfather in front of the Queen Mother? ? "Then he was involved on purpose because of Qin Guogong? Is this too much? Will it kill you if you reveal the script to yourself first? !
Fortunately, Jiang Yashuang shook his head: "My grandfather was just a precaution, so he had already given instructions. If anything happens in the palace, he and his uncles and elders will go into the palace to discuss matters, and my brothers and I will be responsible for arresting people outside the palace!"
"..." Qiu Yilan looked at him speechlessly, "I thought we were in big trouble!" She couldn't help but admire Qin Guogong, "Grandpa is so wise! Otherwise, this time things would be really big!"
Jiang Yashuang seemed to want to say something, but she just smiled and asked with concern: "I dragged you into the water this time... How was it? You weren't scared, were you?"
"Grandpa has arranged everything, how can I be scared?" Qiu Yilan spread her hands, "Now that we have such a big advantage, and Fourth Aunt is here, am I still afraid of the Queen Mother?"
She was a little strange when she said this, "It's just... just now, my grandfather kept Xue Xiang to discuss matters with Deputy Prime Minister Tang, and Prime Minister Xue just returned it. Why did Deputy Prime Minister Tang also call me?"
"First of all, Tang Zimo is indeed talented as a deputy prime minister. Secondly, he probably wanted to send the Queen Mother Bin Tian off in a legitimate way, right?" Although Jiang Yashuang did not enter the palace, someone had already informed him of what happened in Funing Palace. At this moment Smiling calmly, "After all, he is a relative of the Queen Mother. Although the blood edict was recovered, there is no guarantee that not a single word will be spread... In this matter, Xue Xiang and Tang Zimo came forward to explain together, but it was better than our family's explanation." ”
What happened next was indeed the same - Tang Zimo happily handed over the list of the Queen Mother's party, especially those who originally planned to receive the blood edict, after Duke Qin and Xue Chang promised that they would not anger his family.
A few days after the emperor's departure, Queen Mother Gu hanged herself in Taishi Hall.
There are many speculations inside and outside whether he really hanged himself. Because the body of Queen Mother Gu had not yet been buried, the Guangyang Palace was impeached on dozens of major crimes, especially the Crown Prince Gu Yan, who was accused of numerous crimes. The entire palace, as well as many servants, were imprisoned pending investigation.
At the same time that the Guangyang Palace fell, the emperor, who should now be called the late emperor, actually died at the hands of the queen mother. This shocking news spread quietly, shocking everyone in Da Rui!
Therefore, Qiu Yilan believes that Queen Mother Gu did not hang herself: "If Queen Mother Gu is alive, given her identity and seniority, even if she kills the emperor, then who will punish her? The prince is her grandson, grandmother and father. This kind of filial piety It’s impossible to decide what’s right and what’s wrong! If you say that I have the upper hand, why would you cause such trouble to your family? It’s better to kill her privately and call her suicide because of fear of crime!”
However, whether Queen Mother Gu committed suicide or was killed was irrelevant to Qiu Yilan.
She is currently concerned about two issues: the first is of course Qiu Jinglan's current situation; the second is Qiu Nie's whereabouts.
"A few days before the late emperor's departure, Gu Yan invited Qiu Nie to ride out in the car... Then when he returned, only Gu Yan was alone. Could it be that Qiu Nie is no longer alive?" Qiu Yilan frowned and asked Su He, "What did Gu Yan say? "
Su Hewei said: "He put forward a lot of conditions, and I think the young master will not agree to it..."
"You're so stupid!" Qiu Yilan said, "Everyone has been imprisoned, and the Queen Mother's Party has collapsed, but he still dares to raise conditions?! Who does he think he is? Is Tang Zimo still useful? Is he still worthy of being imprisoned?" Why do you still have the energy to ask for conditions?"
Naturally, the prison officials did not dare to disobey the young lady of the Jiang family - but there was a reason why they did not torture Gu Yan: "This man has been addicted to wine and sex for many years, and has already emptied his body. He didn't show it before, but it was because of his rich clothes and good food. , all kinds of nourishing things are hung. Now after being imprisoned, people will immediately become sleepy. If they are tortured, their lives may be in danger... "
"So what? How many generations of professionals have you interrogated, and you can't even ask a question?!" Qiu Yilan would not be coaxed by these words, "If you really can't ask, then I will go to Dali Temple to borrow some professional skills." Can I help you?"
"...I don't dare!" Zhao Yu wanted to make the matter more difficult, but after his mentality of taking credit was exposed, he resigned in embarrassment.
After such a push, the result came within two or three days. This result made Qiu Yilan frown again: "He was arranged to take Deng Yi and his mother away? Is Gu Yan so kind?"
When the Guangyang Prince's Mansion was raided, neither Deng Yi nor his son were among them. Qiu Yilan knew this.
However, the mother and son were not important people, and Qiu Yilan didn't care much about them, so she didn't pay attention to them.
Now that I heard that Qiu Nie's disappearance was actually related to Deng Yi, I couldn't help but feel speechless: "If Gu Yan really cared about Deng Yi so much, why did he get involved with this cousin in the first place?" But then he thought, "Maybe he knew about Gu Yan. My family will definitely not be able to escape, why not give my cousin a way out?"
Qiu Yilan went after Qiu Nie to give an explanation to Mother Li. Now she couldn't find anyone, but she also had clues, so she called Mother Li, Mother Zhou and other people who cared about Qiu Zhongyan's heirs, "Qiu Nie should be still alive. But it’s hard to say where they went. Fortunately, we still have Mei Xue and the swing in our hands. We can bring them here to ask if we have time... I’ll decide about the heir when my brother comes back!”
Mother Li, Mother Zhou and others were very disappointed when they heard that Qiu Nie could not be found for the time being. However, knowing that it is always good news that most people are alive, they no longer bothered and nodded together: "I hope our young master will come back safely as soon as possible!"
The dust in Beijing has settled, and the curtain in Shazhou is slowly closing.
At dusk, the wind and snow rolled.
Qiu Jinglan, who was covered in raw materials, cut out Kuang Shihan's heart and liver with her own hands, placed it on the sacrificial table, and poured three cups of wine over it to feed her ancestors.
Kneeling behind him was Kuang Qingwu, who was tied up with five flowers. In fact, it didn't matter if he wasn't tied up at this time. Ever since he knew Ren Ziyong's true identity, the prince of Zhang Guogong and the consort of Princess Changping had lost all his life. He was like a puppet. At the mercy of people. Even if Qiu Jinglan told him clearly that the reason for sparing his life was just to send him to Beijing to take the blame, he would remain indifferent.
"The dew on the sedge is so beautiful. The dew will fall again in the next dynasty. When will people return after death?"
As former troops, Han Jishan and Zhao Bin led their own soldiers to kneel down in front of the stage wearing sackcloth and mourning. The sergeants who were good at singing sang the elegy "Sweet Dew" that has been passed down since ancient times in unison, mourning Qiu who died here in battle for more than ten years. Zhong Yan, Ruan family and others.
"Father, mother, concubine! The child has finally killed Kuang Shihan and Xingkang and avenged you and your two elders!" On the high platform, Qiu Jinglan fluttered her plain clothes and silently prayed, "There are also two uncles and gentlemen. Brother, please rest in peace... The real culprit behind all this is the Queen Mother Gu, and her time is running out! Next, there is the battle between the Zhenxi Army. For the sake of my sister, I must win! , cousins’ spirits in heaven can protect one or two... "
On the high platform, the incense has been burned, and a grudge has been settled.
Under the high platform, spring grass is growing quietly, and a new thing is happening again.
