Where can we comfort ourselves when we grow old? What's more, it refers to the emperor.
"Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature and no one can change it."
Jian Yu sighed, compared with the previous emperor's decades of reign, the current emperor's reign was too short.
According to the original plot, the struggle for power in the Great Zhou Dynasty only became turbulent after the emperor's death. Before that, with the emperor sitting in charge and the generals waiting to be dispatched, there would not be a multi-party decentralization of power and three parties as written in the plot. The prince ascended the throne, and the other two princes established themselves as kings.
The power struggle between various places makes people's livelihood difficult.
In the article, the third prince defeated the eldest prince and the second prince, and completely took Dazhou into his hands.
But the Great Zhou Dynasty was originally a whole. They messed up the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then integrated it together to become a great contribution to the country. Where is the reason for such boasting?
The main reason is that these three princes have sacrificed the lives of innocent people, hundreds, thousands or even a city, for their own interests.
Political cruelty is vividly reflected.
To put it ten thousand steps back, as long as the Holy Sage is in power, there will be no chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Originally, the emperor died suddenly without issuing a posthumous edict. Now the emperor seems to be more satisfied with the third prince. If he is appointed as the prince...
Jian Yu's face couldn't help but become serious. According to the ambitions of the third prince and Tang Fu, they would not care about the survival of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were so ambitious that they would blindly fight against the landlords.
Due to Tang Fu's instigation and General Ronghua's reputation as a bellicose, even if the third prince ascends the throne legitimately, the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be any better.
Zhou Jinyan's original intention was to act coquettishly, just like the young prince, who would be pinched on the face and patted on the head if he showed that he missed her, and he also wanted to do so.
And after returning from the palace, Zhou Jinyan was indeed in a low mood.
As a result, after seeing Jian Yu's heavy expression, he felt heartbroken.
"Brother Huang has recovered from his poisoning, so there is no need to worry too much."
Then Zhou Jinyan changed the topic and talked to Jian Yu about the recent events in Shengjing. He first talked about the third prince. He did behave very well this time when the emperor was poisoned.
The person who poisoned the emperor has been caught. He is a young eunuch who served the dishes.
He soaked his fingers in poisonous liquid, then dried them, and then rubbed them on the dishes when the food was being served. Logically speaking, two eunuchs were watching during the serving process, so he shouldn't be given such an opportunity.
As luck would have it, one of the two eunuchs had diarrhea and ran away from the latrine, while the other scolded the eunuch at the front for walking too fast, giving him an opportunity.
The little eunuch has been plotting for a long time. He would apply medicine on his hands every day. After nearly two months, he finally got a chance this time.
The poison's properties were very overbearing, otherwise the imperial doctor would not have administered acupuncture. It took a day to clean up the remaining poison on the emperor's body. The little eunuch just applied it on the surface of his fingers and was poisoned.
By the time they traced him, he had been poisoned in the room and had been dead for half a day.
The little eunuch has no father or mother. There is a palace maid who treats her very well. Just two months ago, the little palace maid was stabbed to death for offending a nobleman. The reason was that when the emperor went to the harem, Concubine Qing found that the emperor looked too much. A look from the palace maid.
She felt that the palace maid had the idea of climbing the dragon and the phoenix, and deliberately made trouble and killed the person.
The young eunuch was angry that he could not get in touch with Concubine Qing, so he had revenge on the emperor. He wanted the emperor to investigate him and reveal that Concubine Qing often killed his slaves.
He has no righteousness for the family and the country. No matter how chaotic the Zhou Dynasty will be if the emperor dies, he just wants to avenge the palace maid. This is the only way he can think of to take revenge.
If the emperor dies, there will inevitably be an investigation from beginning to end. Even if Concubine Qing is not directly related to this matter, if it involves the emperor, she will be sentenced to death for it!
When the time comes for the palace to investigate from top to bottom, those masters who usually bully and abuse their servants should be careful.
This is the reason why the emperor was poisoned. There is no big conspiracy, it is just a reason that is too small for the imperial power.
Just like a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest, the collapse of many dynasties was caused by a small person, and the person who almost cost the emperor his life, who would have thought that it was a small eunuch in the imperial kitchen?
The most important thing is that because of this poisoning, the imperial doctor diagnosed the hidden injury on the emperor's body.
To put it simply, the original symptoms of the injury were not obvious. It could be said that there was almost no manifestation. The emperor did not mention it, and the imperial doctor could not detect it when diagnosing the Ping'an pulse.
This time the poisoning was so violent that all the injuries and illnesses in the hidden parts of the body were revealed in advance, so the imperial physician was able to detect it in time and carry out treatment.
If it were not discovered in time this time, it would be too late to wait until the body reacts to the symptoms and then seek treatment.
It can be considered a blessing in disguise.
As for Concubine Qing, after investigation, as many as twenty palace maids and eunuchs died at her hands. Because of this incident, Concubine Qing was thrown into the cold palace, the marriages of the female family members in the clan were affected, and the parents were also accused of being lax in educating their daughters.
There is no need to know the reason. As long as Concubine Qing is thrown into the cold palace, she must be at fault.
For the officials in the court and the family's reputation, it would be more uncomfortable for Concubine Qing to be relegated to the cold palace while she was alive than to die. Even Concubine Qing herself believed that it would be better to consign her to death!
The harem is now under stricter control. Concubines are not allowed to take lives of the palace maids at will. If the palace slaves are wronged, they can go to the clan mansion for help. The emperor personally orders it, and no one dares to disobey it.
Some palace people were so excited that they cried when they heard the news. They, the little palace maids and eunuchs, lived like animals. Their life and death depended on the master's thoughts. Now that there are more bans in the harem, they have a way to survive!
The concubines will no longer be as unscrupulous as before!
"Concubine Qing?"
Jian Yu continued to ask: "Is she the daughter of Guang Luxun and Qin Xiang?"
Zhou Jinyan nodded. Concubine Qing's father was Guang Luxun, one of the Nine Qings, or Lang Zhongling.
The plot has indeed changed, otherwise Concubine Qing should have been in the heroine's camp. It is precisely because of Concubine Qing and the power of her mother's family that the heroine can quickly take control of the harem, and let the third prince take control of the harem before the eldest prince and the second prince. royal palace.
Now that something has happened to Concubine Qing, Concubine Qing's family will definitely keep their tail between their legs and be a good person. Not to mention the issue of getting involved in fighting for the throne, even in the early morning, no one dares to stand out too much.
Concubine Qing was relegated to the cold palace, and if something happened to them, it would be difficult for them to stand up.
The official position of Guang Luxun was obtained through the relationship with Concubine Qing. Therefore, after Concubine Qing was thrown into the cold palace, her mother clan was particularly flustered. Their trump card was gone, and they had no confidence to do anything else.
Wonderful, wonderful!
The heroine lost a powerful assistant!
During the investigation of the harem, it was found that servants in all the palaces died unexpectedly, except for Concubine Liu Guifei's palace, where only the servants were sent back to the clan's mansion, and no servants were punished to death.
The third prince’s mother and concubine stood out, she was a kind-hearted person! The emperor, who had just recovered from a serious illness, finally felt better.
Concubine Liu Guifei's position in the emperor's heart is that of a gentle interpreter. There are many beauties in the harem, cheerful ones, cool ones, bookish ones...
After investigation, it was found that the cold beauty who seemed to be out of this world would be punished by kneeling to death in winter because a lock of her hair was accidentally broken by the palace servants; the cheerful concubine would use inconspicuous punishment methods such as needle pricking. , so that the palace maid could not bear it and jumped into the well to her death...
Concubine Liu is really cautious. She has no family to rely on, so she doesn't leave any excuses. It is for this reason that she "stands out" in the poisoning incident and becomes a very comfortable existence for the emperor.
There were no rumors outside the palace about the emperor's poisoning, but the three princes were able to get the news, and their performances were different.
First of all, the concern for the emperor is real, and it is also true if you have your own interests.
While the eldest prince and the second prince were fulfilling their filial piety, they also made many small moves secretly. They looked at the basins of blood being carried out, all of which were caused by the emperor's vomiting!
The imperial doctor still looked solemn after administering acupuncture all morning.
Anyone who sees it will think it is a bad sign.
The eldest prince and the second prince could not sit still and secretly asked their subordinates to take action. If the emperor fell unconscious and passed away directly, whoever takes control of the palace first would be more likely to ascend the throne!
When the emperor woke up from his coma before evening, the eldest prince and the second prince were obviously more disappointed than happy.
The third prince, on the other hand, did not make any movement during the whole process.
Eunuch Lin, who was waiting outside the palace, saw everything. When the emperor woke up and asked, he also told the truth. The emperor asked the secret guards to conduct a little investigation, and it was easy to find out that both princes had done it. What.
By treating the third prince like this now, one is to be satisfied with his performance at that time, and the other is to beat the other two sons.
He has not died for a day, and no one else can covet the throne, not even his son!
"Then what's going on with the marriage?"
Now that the poisoning matter has been clarified, let's talk about the marriage granted by the emperor. No matter how much we try to give face to the third prince, the marriage to the concubine should not be done.
Jian Yu was very confused.
Zhou Jinyan snorted. The people investigating in the harem were not only the concubines, but also the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother usually made a Buddhist gesture and was full of compassion. In fact, the number of palace people who died at her hands was no less than that of Concubine Qing!
If it weren't for the fact that she was the Queen Mother, she would have been the second one to be relegated to the cold palace!
What's ridiculous is that the Queen Mother's Tang family, like Concubine Qing's family, is also connected through nepotism.
There was a turmoil in the harem, and the Tang family also received the news that she was not their biological child after all. They were afraid that the emperor would take the opportunity to have an attack, and the Tang family would be left with nothing to eat.
The Tang family desperately needs another backer.
At present, the two girls from their ancestral homeland have no choice but to count on Tang Fu. The Queen Mother called Tang Fu to the palace and wanted Tang Fu to connect with the third prince.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor's attitude towards the third prince is different, and the Tang family must be completely and firmly tied to the third prince.
