In the temple, the lights are bright.
When the clansmen learned that King Linnan was coming, they all stood up and craned their necks to look at the door.
Only the emperor remained unmoved.
When King Linnan walked to the entrance of the side hall, he was stopped by Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian personally searched King Linnan carefully.
The dagger that King Linnan had hidden in his boots was found.
He was not flustered by this, and explained helplessly.
"This is what this king uses for self-defense."
Zhao Xian did not delve into the truth of this statement. He handed the dagger to the guard next to him, and then clenched his fists to King Linnan.
"My lord, please forgive the offense. This dagger is temporarily handed over to us to report to the official. After you leave, we will return the dagger as it is."
King Linnan: "You are too careful."
Zhao Xian: "Be careful sailing the ship of ten thousand years."
King Linnan didn't say anything more, and walked into the side hall.
He saw the room full of clan relatives, and he didn't have many surprises, and he went straight to the young emperor who was sitting on the head.
"Wei Chen greets His Majesty."
Luo Qinghan asked someone to give him a seat.
After King Linnan sat down, the others also sat back to their original positions, but their eyes were still fixed on King Linnan.
Even though he was being watched by so many eyes, King Linnan didn't feel nervous or uneasy at all.
He asked slowly, "I wonder if Wei Chen can see the Empress Dowager? Hearing that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, Wei Chen was worried and wanted to visit her old man."
Luo Qinghan said in a low voice, "The imperial grandmother has passed away."
King Linnan was stunned, surprised: "So fast?"
His unexpected expression did not seem to be fake, it seemed that he really did not expect the Empress Dowager to die so soon.
His eyes quickly turned red, and his face was full of grief.
"Weichen didn't get to see the last face of the Empress Dowager."
Luo Qinghan: "The grandmother passed away peacefully. Uncle, please mourn."
King Linnan wiped his eyes with his sleeves: "Wei Chen couldn't stabilize his emotions for a while, which made His Majesty laugh. The Empress Dowager passed away, the most heartbroken person should be you, and Wei Chen should comfort you, why? Can you in turn let you comfort Wei Chen? Wei Chen really deserves to be damned."
Luo Qinghan: "I'm really sad in my heart. I don't have many relatives. Now I've left another one. If this goes on, I'm really going to become a loner."
King Linnan quickly comforted: "Don't say that, Your Majesty, you still have Weichen, and Weichen will always be your family."
Luo Qinghan looked at him with heavy eyes: "Since you are my family, why do you bring so many soldiers to the city? Even if you are worried about the imperial grandmother's condition and want to see her for the last time, you don't need to bring so many soldiers and horses. Bar?"
Finally got to the point!
The royal clansmen present pricked up their ears and waited with breathless waiting for King Linnan to give a reply.
King Linnan's expression became complicated.
He let out a long sigh.
"To be honest, we don't want to bring so many people to Shengjing.
After all, it is too easy to misunderstand.
But this was the order of the Empress Dowager before she died. She had someone send us a letter saying that the real reason for the death of the previous emperor was not due to illness, but was assassinated.
It is very likely that the murderer is hiding in the palace and has something to do with His Majesty.
In order to prevent the murderer from escaping, we had to bring more people. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their faces.
There were indeed people who suspected that Emperor Sheng Yong's death had other secrets, but they had no real evidence and could not pursue further investigations. In addition, the new emperor gradually took a firm position, and the matter of Emperor Sheng Yong was gradually forgotten.
But I didn't expect that this matter would be revealed at this time.
Luo Qing coldly asked back: "You suspect that I killed my father to kill the emperor and plot to usurp the throne? Where's the evidence?"
King Linnan took out a letter from his sleeve.
"This is a letter written by the Empress Dowager during her lifetime.
She instructed a eunuch named Gan Fu to deliver this letter to us, asking us to help find out the truth of the late emperor's death.
Wei Chen believed that the Empress Dowager would not joke about this kind of thing.
Furthermore, the father-in-law Gan Fu also provided us with some clues.
He used to be the great eunuch beside the late emperor, and he knew a lot about the late emperor.
According to him, on the night the late emperor died, Concubine Xiao, who originally lived in the Weiyang Palace, suddenly disappeared.
Although the news that Concubine Xiao had died later came out, it was just hearsay.
In fact, the real Concubine Xiao did not die, she just changed her identity and appearance and returned to His Majesty's side again. "
When King Linnan said this, Luo Qinghan's face sank.
All the royal family members present were dumbfounded.
Concubine Xiao is not dead? And she's back
The amount of information is too much!
King Linnan didn't seem to see the emperor's gloomy gaze, he unfolded the letter in his hand, and presented his hands to the emperor.
"Please, Your Majesty, take a look."
Luo Qinghan did not reach out to pick up the letter.
King Linnan was not annoyed when he saw this, but smiled helplessly, and then handed the letter to the clansmen.
The clansmen came together to watch what was in their hearts.
Looking at the handwriting on the letter, I knew that it was indeed written by the Empress Dowager, and at the end of the letter there was a private seal of the Empress Dowager.
The content of the letter is basically the same as what King Linnan said.
The Empress Dowager suspected that Emperor Sheng Yong was killed by someone, and the person who killed him was probably Concubine Xiao.
As for why Concubine Xiao wanted to poison Emperor Sheng Yong
Naturally, it was to help the prince ascend to the throne.
In other words, Concubine Xiao must have been instigated by Luo Qinghan before she dared to attack Emperor Sheng Yong.
The Empress Dowager wanted to take revenge for Emperor Sheng Yong, but she was old and frail, and was placed under house arrest in the Tai Temple. !
When the clansmen read the contents of the letter, their expressions became very exciting.
The son killed Laozi, but Laozi's mother wanted revenge and wanted to kill her grandson.
four word summary
Your circle is so messy!
But then again, if what the Empress Dowager said is the truth, then it is justifiable for the three vassals to bring troops into Beijing.
The crime of murdering the father and killing the king, no matter what time it is placed, is unacceptable by the law of heaven.
King Linnan obviously knew this too.
They are famous for sending troops this time. Even if this incident is recorded in the annals of history, it is their responsibility. They have nothing to be false!
King Linnan: "Wei Chen originally wanted to find out about the matter in front of the Empress Dowager, but unfortunately, the old man took a step first. In this case, Wei Chen will ask you one last time here. hurt?"
Luo Qinghan didn't answer and asked: "So what? What about no?"
King Linnan: "If it is not, everyone will be very happy. If it is, I hope Your Majesty will take the initiative to abdicate and let the sages. Those who kill their fathers and kill the king are not worthy of the throne."
