Both Su Hai and Fu Qing were injured, they couldn't ride a horse, they could only take a car.
When you have nothing to do, chatting is naturally indispensable.
Su Hai admires Fu Qing very much now, and thinks that he is brave, loyal, calm and martial arts, and he is born to eat the food of the military camp. Apart from appreciating it, if he didn't have a daughter, he would have taken this kid as his son-in-law.
Although he doesn't have a daughter, he has two nieces, so he can't help bragging about his two nieces during the chat along the way, from the eldest niece who is gentle and virtuous, to the younger niece who is smart.
Fu Qing didn't want to pay attention to him, knowing that this person was sometimes a little out of tune, especially after he got out of the crisis of life and death, this out of tune was perfectly interpreted.
This made him wonder, before this incident happened, the majestic and steady general in his impression, was this his true face
The more he thought about it, the more he didn't care about Su Hai, just like those days when the two were still in the Tatars, he always kept silent, and the other party always talked a lot.
Until Su Hai Che Gulu boasted too much and forced him to ask him what he thought, Fu Qing finally couldn't help it.
"Your niece is my niece, they want to call me cousin."
These words directly made Su Hai shut up, and thought about the relationship in his heart, it seemed that this was really the case.
Seeing that teasing Fu Qing was no longer fun, Su Hai turned his head to tease Bihe.
Ever since he was captured, Er Bihe had the urge to die countless times. He never thought that that dirty and humble Hu Ha was his biggest enemy and the person he most wanted to kill—Su Hai.
Now he was actually arrested by Su Hai.
It's a pity that he couldn't move his hands and feet, and he couldn't speak. He was bound tightly all over his body, and a cork was put in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
Such a person is meaningless to tease, there is nothing else but staring and screaming, Su Hai is listless, finally willing to recuperate honestly, and Fu Qing is finally able to be quieter.
On the day when Su Hai entered the city, someone leaked the news, and it turned out to be deserted by thousands of people.
What about people
They all gathered on the road he entered the city.
At that time, Su Hai was lying in the car with Erlang crossed his legs and teasing Fu Qing, telling him that his cousin was nothing but a distant relationship, and besides the nobles in Beijing, there are many things about uncles marrying nieces, if it is true Come on, there won't be so many generations of marriages. Don't you really think about his eldest niece, who is good-looking, gentle and virtuous.
Fu Qing really wanted to say, the fifth princess has something to do with gentleness and virtuousness
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a voice from outside.
He asked what was going on, and the escorting soldiers outside said they didn't know, and only told them not to show their heads, otherwise they probably wouldn't be able to reach the imperial city today after dark.
The next journey is almost no faster than the turtle speed.
With all kinds of voices, scolding, and noise, Su Hai knew that Er Bihe in the prison car behind him was probably in a bad situation without showing his head.
Perhaps this is the return of the scenery he said, but it was completely beyond his expectations, and he did not expect such a big shock.
Su Hai had already learned about the general situation in Beijing from the Fu family, but he still didn't expect the situation to be worse than he imagined.
Coming out of the palace, he directed people to send him to Dali Temple, he was full of anger, but he turned back halfway, and returned to Yongshun Bo's mansion.
The next day, before dawn, the first gray belly appeared in the east.
Countless officials gathered in front of the Donghua Gate, and when the palace gate opened, the officials filed in silently.
The distance from Donghua Gate to the Hall of Supreme Harmony was quite long, and it was still dark at this time, so lanterns were naturally indispensable during the walk.
Along the way, you can see stars dotted around the front, back, left, and right. If you look closer, you can find that each lantern has its own name.
This is probably also a spectacle unique to the Forbidden City, almost half of the year will be staged at this time. If you have never seen it before, you may be very scared when you see it for the first time, because apart from the light of the lantern, not only no one speaks, even the footsteps are very soft.
Everyone walked in silence. Once they entered the Donghua Gate, almost no one would chat, but today's situation is different from the past.
At some point, someone noticed whispers, and most of the people stopped in their tracks, looking behind them not far away.
There was a person there who was very different from the others. Others were walking, but he was lucky enough to be carried on shoulders.
After seeing the face of the other party clearly, I understand why.
This person is none other than Su Hai.
We all heard that Su Hai was seriously injured, but it seems true at this time, but I didn't expect that he couldn't even walk upright when he came to court, and he had to be carried
Almost everyone knew that there would be another big storm in the court today.
As they expected, after going through a routine questioning of "If there is something to play, if there is nothing to do", Su Hai, who was sitting while others were standing, replied that there was a book to play.
This morning scene lasted until almost noon, and only Su Hai was heard talking during the whole process.
He didn't say anything else, and he told everything in detail about what he saw, heard, and encountered after he fell into the trap.
During the period, the words were not targeted, but only from what he said, I am afraid that everyone present can understand what is going on.
From Zong Cong's point of view, this kid probably did it on purpose, obviously some things could be simplified, but he knew everything and said everything in detail.
Some ministers are already old, and they can't stand such a long time standing. Zong Cong is usually sympathetic to the ministers, and he will be as brief as he can in the morning.
But today, Su Hai, who didn't play cards according to the rules, made it clear that he was deliberately torturing people. The so-called sitting and talking doesn't hurt his back. Anyway, Zong Cong is sitting, so he just let it go.
In fact, not to mention, Zong Cong felt surprisingly refreshed after seeing the difficult expressions on the faces of the ministers below, who hesitated to speak.
So he was extra considerate, and worried about Su Hai's injury, he told him not to worry and speak slowly, and even asked the eunuch to bring a cup of hot tea, which created a special case of early courtship.
That's why after a morning court, except for Su Hai and Zong Cong, probably no one can laugh.
Not only because what Su Hai said was more shocking than what he heard that day, but also because he was very tired after standing for a whole morning.
A silent storm swept across the entire capital, and everyone who mentioned it was extremely taboo. Perhaps many people were indeed instigated, but who knew who was involved
Zong Cong ordered the three divisions to interrogate, not only using Dali Temple, but also the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War is involved in the military affairs of the Ministry of War, as a supervisor to observe.
Erbihe's confession is not difficult to ask, he was tied up by Su Hai for nearly a month, and when he entered Dali Temple and was untied, he started yelling.
So before the officials in charge of torture in Dali Temple ordered the execution, he vomited out all his brains.
Apart from scolding the people of Da Zhou for being mean and shameless, they also scolded the people of Da Zhou for being cunning and insidious. The people of Da Zhou mainly focused on Xu Tong who had cooperated with him in transactions, but turned around and set a trap for him to ambush him. The other was Su Hai.
He hated Su Hai surprisingly, even more than he hated Xu Tong, and used all the language that Jin people could use to curse and spit on him.
But no one paid any attention to him. After obtaining a solid confession, Zong Cong issued an order to take all the Xu family members of the Xuanfu into custody and escort them to the capital.
It is needless to say that the Xuan Mansion experienced a turmoil, but with the Fu family and Zong Cong's pre-arranged backup, there was no major disturbance.
And as Erbihe was captured, the rest of the Jinren were like a mess, and it was only a matter of time before they were captured.
The entry of the Xu family to Beijing caused another commotion.
The people in the capital have long heard that it is not the first time that the Xu family and the Jin people have colluded. They have colluded together a long time ago and exchanged information.
There are so many people in the Xu family, most of them are from the army. They want to eat, get promoted, and win over the soldiers at the bottom. Naturally, they need a lot of money to support them.
As long as it is related to the military camp, it is necessary to eat empty salary, but Xuanfu has frequent battles, how much empty salary can there be? There are so many people, if you share them casually, they will be gone, so the Xu family used their status and influence a long time ago to smuggle into the grassland the ironware and various herbal medicines that the imperial court has explicitly prohibited from exporting.
At first they cooperated with the Tatars, and it was only through the Tatars that they got in touch with Erbihe.
As I said before, although Erbihe is a prince, his father is not just a prince, he also has many brothers. If he wants to take over his father's position, he must need power.
What comes faster than military exploits
Similarly, the Xu family also needs promotion and military exploits.
So this time the partnership pitted Su Hai was really not their first transaction, such things had happened twice before.
This is the real traitor, big beetle, and the whole family is devoid of conscience!
As early as I heard that the Xu family was going to the capital soon, many people had accumulated a lot of hogwash and garbage, and used it all for the day to entertain the Xu family.
Someone also brought the toilet at home, but only poured two buckets on the prison car before being stopped by others. In fact, such a tactic has too wide an attack surface, and there are so many people, it is inevitable to accidentally injure innocent people.
When the people were sent to the gate of Dali Temple, let alone the Xu family members vomited, the person in charge of escorting them also vomited.
The Dali Temple quickly interrogated the Xu family, and they probably understood that the crime was heinous, and the left and right would die, so the Xu family didn't resist much, and they all recruited truthfully.
Not to mention framing Su Hai this time, just smuggling ironware and herbs to the grassland is enough to cut off the heads of the Xu family, not to mention the things like killing good people and pretending to be meritorious deeds by accidental leaks, which are simply all kinds of evil deeds , outrageous.
But when asked why they set up a trap to assassinate Su Hai, the Xu family remained silent.
The men of the Xu family were quite strong, and they didn't intend to recruit Concubine Xu Xian out. They knew in their hearts that the only person in the Xu family who could survive was the empress.
Maybe if the empress is saved, the Xu family still has the hope of making a comeback in the future. , so they all blamed this matter on personal grievances, and they attacked Su Hai because they were at odds with Su Hai.
They had a good idea, but they miscalculated the female family members of the Xu family.
Such a sudden catastrophe, and being treated like this, the female family members of the Xu family could not bear the humiliation. Some of them were hanging on the beam or swallowing gold on the way to the capital. Since they were lucky enough to survive till now, they all They are greedy for life and afraid of death.
They are used to being pampered and pampered, and they don’t stay out of the door, who cares where the men in the family get the money, how they can get promoted and get rich, so that their orders are getting higher and higher, and they live a pampered life. All I know is that it was because of helping the empress in the palace to push the fifth prince to seek the crown prince, that the men in the family made such a big mistake, which caused the family to be wiped out.
Needless to say, the resentment in my heart was naturally expressed.
So after the Xu family was imprisoned, Concubine Xu Xian was also imprisoned, but it was not Dali Temple, but the Department of Punishment.
The Punishment Department is a place that no one in the palace would like to go to. They all know that if they enter the Punishment Department, they will shed a layer of skin if they don't die.
Those in charge of the torture are all the old mothers and old eunuchs in the palace. One has a perennial yin and yang imbalance, and most of them have withdrawn and weird personalities. The other is born with something less than a normal man, needless to say psychological distortion.
Especially after being immersed in the court for a long time, there are all kinds of methods to torment people in the palace, especially the methods to torment women. It hurts you but doesn't leave any traces, and they are extremely good at insulting people, it can be said that it is a kind of torture from the body to the mind.
But Concubine Xu Xian still gritted her teeth and persisted, she knew very well that she could only survive if she persisted to the end, otherwise she could only die.
"Have you heard that the Fifth Prince went to kneel in the Qing Palace, but unfortunately His Majesty did not see him, but the Empress Empress actually showed up and took the Fifth Prince to the Kunning Palace..."
"you mean?"
In the silent prison cell, Concubine Xu Xian fell down in the haystack like a pool of rotten meat. Her whole body ached, but she couldn't tell where it hurt.
Still cold, cold to the bone.
I could only curl up and tremble, my mind was like a mess, but I heard someone talking in a daze. She closed her eyes tightly, but her brain was turning to distinguish, and she heard the words of the two nuns who were specially guarding her.
It's just that usually they always speak harshly, mocking and insulting her to the fullest, but now when they speak, they are a little more leisurely and happy, which is completely different from their usual stern faces.
Because the fifth prince was mentioned in the words, Concubine Xu Xian couldn't help opening her eyes, trying to stretch her neck to listen, but she couldn't move.
"What can I mean? I don't want to see what our queen empress means. That one is so old, but she has the title of weak body, like a useless person. Now that this one comes here, it seems that she doesn't want to think about it. If she goes out, His Majesty will let her go, and the imperial concubine will not let her go. No, the Kunning Palace will be tempted... "
"You mean..."
"...It's so pitiful. My son who has been raised for more than ten years has planned for him. He has caused so many troubles and brought disaster to the family, but now he is taking advantage of others..."
"It's not..."
They are saying, who is tempted and who is pitiful
How could she be pitiful? ! She is the prostitute daughter of the Xu family. She was very smart since she was a child. When she entered the East Palace, she was named Liangyuan and gave birth to the eldest daughter of the prince.
Concubine Xu Xian knew that the Empress was a fool, and she saw it when she first entered the East Palace, so she always followed the Crown Princess as her leader, and she didn't need to take any action at all, she just fanned the flames and let the Crown Princess stand out.
Sure enough, the princess couldn't give birth, so she was allowed to give birth.
She had already figured out the tricks of the Crown Princess, but she didn't pay attention to Hu Liangdi who came in later, because in her eyes, the woman surnamed Hu was also a fool.
But it's good to be stupid, she is stupid enough that the Crown Princess will praise her in order to deal with her.
Originally, she had made all the preparations, planning to conceive another child and give birth to a little grandson, but she never expected that woman to enter the palace.
Her arrival made her complete preparations a joke, and even Princess Hu Liangdi became a joke.
A joke may be difficult to deal with, but so many people have become a joke with her, it doesn't seem to be so difficult to deal with.
Concubine Xu Xian learned a truth from her father and brother since she was a child, create opportunities for herself if she has no opportunities, and find advantages for herself if she has no advantages. So after she finally realized that she couldn't win favor with that woman, she set her sights on Zhong Liangyuan.
What a good object, the family background is not obvious, and the person is weak.
But she just gave birth to a son!
Such a sad person should not live in the palace, he will die sooner or later, why don't he give his son to her.
Over the years, she has really loved the mace, no matter whether it is a fake show or a real show, she even sacrificed her daughter for her son, but now her son is about to be taken away.
It's Empress Chen again!
It was the Zhong family first, and now she has personally joined the battle. No wonder the Zhong family would jump out at that time, and they made it clear that they wanted to fight her.
Concubine Xu Xian had known for a long time that Empress Chen was behind the Zhong family, and now she has an epiphany.
Look at what a good plan, as long as she can be left alone and the empress will record the fifth prince in her name, the empress will have a healthy son, and the Zhong family will have a grandson born in the palace.
Win-win result.
Concubine Xu Xian bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth, blood snaked down the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were full of hatred.
At this time, she didn't know that after the two nuns outside finished what they should say, they listened to the movement inside, and even one of them was worried and even looked inside.
Seeing the person facing inward, whose thin body was trembling uncontrollably, she winked at her companion, and the two walked away quietly.
In Jingren Palace, Pan'er was standing in the fish pond to sprinkle fish food in the water.
The weather is warmer, and the fish are swimming freely, looking particularly gratifying.
Bai Shu came over in a hurry, leaned close to her and said, "Your Majesty, things have been done as ordered."
"Is everything in order?"
Bai Shu said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Feng Hai didn't ask his own people to do it, but borrowed someone from Kunning Palace, those two nuns won't know that this matter was ordered by Jingren Palace."
Pan'er nodded, sprinkled the last bit of fish food in the water, and clapped his hands.
"I've endured them for so long, if there is still a fish that slipped through the net this time, I really won't be reconciled." She murmured softly almost silently, then suddenly broke into a smile, looked down at her hands, and then squeezed them together. He pursed his mouth and looked at the distant sky.
The door of the cell was opened from the outside.
Concubine Xu Xian knew what was going to happen next without even thinking about it.
Two stout and powerful nuns pulled her up from the ground and dragged her out into a dim stone room illuminated by fire.
The stone room is full of instruments of torture, but these instruments of torture are spotless, it seems that they have never been used, and it seems that someone often takes care of them.
After the long case, an eunuch about forty years old was sitting, looking at her with the eunuchs' usual smile on his face, and said, "Concubine Xian, what do you want to say today? It's not from our family, Take it easy on you, and let us have a good time too, why bother asking for trouble for ourselves?"
Concubine Xian raised her pale face and said: "I am a concubine conferred by Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has not abolished my position for a day, you have to respect me for a day. You ask me what I have for you?" What do you want to say? I would like to ask you, who did you benefit from and dare to torture the dignified concubine?"
Concubine Xian's statement aroused laughter from other people in the stone room, they laughed contemptuously, as if they were surprised that Concubine Xian was still so innocent in such a situation.
"Concubine Xian, do you really or falsely don't understand? If it hadn't been for His Majesty's order, who would dare to torture your majestic Concubine Xian. Your Majesty said that the abilities of Concubine Xian and the Xu family are not enough to do it." When something like this happens, there must be some accomplices. Forget it, our family is too lazy to explain this to the concubine Xian over and over again, since the empress is so ignorant, then don't blame our family for being cruel."
As he said that, as soon as the eunuch raised his hand, two vicious old mothers came up.
Their hands were thick and hard, pulling Concubine Xian to the point of pain, no matter how much she cared about her face, she couldn't help showing a bit of panic on her face at this moment.
"What are you doing, go away."
"Concubine Xian, please don't struggle. Didn't my father-in-law say that if you take it easy, we can also have a good time. So don't blame the old slaves for being cruel. Look, this is specially prepared for the empress. The fine silver needles are as fine as a cow's hair, and the good skin of the empress is all raised with good things. Don't worry, it won't hurt you at all, just need to suffer a little bit... "
Seeing the silver needle getting closer and closer, Concubine Xian couldn't hold back anymore.
"If I speak out about my accomplices, will His Majesty let me out?"
The old mother stopped and went to look at the eunuch.
"Our family doesn't know about this matter, it depends on His Majesty's will."
At this time, Concubine Xian seemed to have completely collapsed, and she said incoherently: "It's the Queen, it's Queen Chen, she is the one who conspired with Bengong, she asked Bengong to let the Xu family set a trap in the Xuanfu, and she asked people to set up a trap in the Xuanfu, and she asked people to set up traps in the Xuanfu. Coordinating, everything is aimed at bringing down the imperial concubine, only when the imperial concubine is down, other people will have a chance."
As for the opportunity, there is no need to say clearly.
Hearing this, the eunuch looked solemnly at his companions around him, while Concubine Xian showed a smile on her face covered by her messy hair.
Empress Chen, if you can't get me better, how can you get better? You don't want to take my son away, so I will let you lose even your own son!
