Queen Mother Sun was shocked when she heard the news.
Although her father had already expressed his attitude, Queen Mother Sun still did not expect the storm to come so quickly.
"Where is Qi Zhen, what is he doing now?"
Xing'an hesitated, not knowing how to reply.
After being urged by the Empress Dowager Sun, Xing'an finally replied: "I would like to inform the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, he is summoning his former concubine to sleep with you."
When the Queen Mother Sun heard this, she immediately became furious: "Why did he learn from that scoundrel Zhu Qiyu and know how to play with women every day?
Xing'an didn't dare to answer these words, so he had to bow his head and remain silent.
Empress Dowager Sun threw some more tea sets and porcelain, but she had to accept the reality. Now she had no time to care whether Zhu Qizhen played with women or not. As long as her father appeared again in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice tomorrow and signed his testimony, then she would Even if it's all over.
Queen Mother Sun felt that she had been abandoned. Yes, she was the only one who finished the game. Zhu Qiyu has made a clear promise to his father that as long as the Sun family rebels, he will leave a way for the Sun family to survive no matter what.
At the critical moment, Queen Mother Sun still had concerns about Gao Ping and chose to order Xing'an to contact Sun Chengzong's daughter-in-law.
Sun Zhong could accept the reduction of his title and return to his hometown, but Sun Jizong and Sun Lian and his son could not accept it.
Although panicked, Queen Mother Sun still remained shrewd.
First, contact the wife of Sun Chengzong's legitimate son and let her take action.
Although Queen Mother Sun didn't read much, she still knew about Huo Guang. This kind of thing can be solved by following the example of a cat and a tiger: Lao Hongzhongshi and Huo Guangguang:
If a woman from her mother's family is the villain, even if the matter is exposed in the end, Sun Jizong and Sun Lian can still argue: it was all done by a stupid woman from their own family, we know nothing about it, and they have nothing to do with us.
And Sun Jizong's daughter-in-law is not stupid. The reason why she is willing to do this is that Sun Zhong is eighty-four this year. It is normal and reasonable for Sun Zhong to fall asleep and never wake up again.
Secondly, Marquis, as the eldest daughter-in-law, how can I be willing to give up so easily?
Third, Empress Dowager Sun deceived her into believing that the emperor would be deposed soon.
Of course, Queen Mother Sun also believed in her heart that Zhu Qiyu was about to be deposed.
Let’s not say whether the coup will be successful or not. At least we must have the confidence to win. Empress Dowager Sun has achieved this.
As for why Xing'an was sent to the Sun Mansion, it was also to drag Zhu Qizhen into trouble. If Gao Ping is allowed to go, once discovered, it will be completely unclear.
All forces took action secretly.
Before dinner, various secret reports had been flowing in front of Zhu Qiyu.
But Zhu Qiyu was lying on the soft couch, leisurely and leisurely, not worrying about these things.
With such a rare opportunity, Zhu Qiyu chose to give it to his two beloved concubines to let them exercise. And he was leaning on the soft couch to watch over the little beloved concubine. As long as there was no big mistake, he would remain silent.
The two beloved concubines did not use too many tricks. They simply approved the petition of the Third Law Division, allowed the hearing tomorrow, accepted Sun Zhong's testimony, ordered him to sign it, and then handed over all the testimonies and confessions to the court. .
As for Sun Jizong's three concubines and one concubine, they were also informed secretly.
Also, all the news was secretly conveyed to Hao Yi, the eunuch in charge of the royal horse supervisor. Once something happens to the Sun family, the Royal Horse Monitor will control the Sun family to prevent anyone from destroying the evidence again.
Zhu Qiyu was leaning on the couch. The more he looked at his beloved concubines, the more satisfied he became. These girls can be said to be good in the hall and in the kitchen.
As the situation changed again and again, Zhu Qiyu had made up his mind that he would only take care of military and political affairs from now on. Apart from that, all general affairs would be left to his beloved concubines.
As an emperor, unless you are completely alone, growing your own vegetables, cooking your own food, boiling your own water, making your own tea, and not requiring anyone else to serve you at night, you will always have to put your life in the hands of others.
Either rely on the queen, or rely on the concubine, or rely on the eunuch, or rely on the maid.
If you don't rely on anyone and do everything by yourself, then there's no way you can be the emperor.
But as long as you rely on others, the people you rely on can easily take your life if they are willing.
The specific basis is that a dozen little palace maids dared to strangle the emperor.
…
But he said that Sun Zhong had taken a walk in his garden several times after dinner.
Sun Zhong attaches great importance to health preservation and must move around to digest food after meals.
When Sun Zhong finished his activities and returned to the room, his grandson-in-law walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup: "Grandpa, this is the ginseng sent by your majesty. My grandson-in-law stewed chicken soup, please try it. "
Sun Zhong nodded. Hearing that it was from his grandson, he didn't think much about it. However, by coincidence, his only granddaughter also walked in at this time.
When the concubine Miss Sun saw the ginseng soup, she acted coquettishly and wanted to have a taste.
Although Miss Sun was a concubine, Sun Zhong loved her very much and handed it over with a loving face.
Unexpectedly, after the granddaughter got the ginseng soup, the granddaughter-in-law immediately became anxious. If my granddaughter drinks this, it will be a big deal.
The granddaughter-in-law hurriedly wanted to snatch the ginseng soup back, but the granddaughter took the opportunity to attack.
After a while of pulling and pulling, Sun Zhong's three concubine grandsons appeared at the right time and caught him.
Sun Zhong suddenly realized that he never imagined that his family would behave like this.
After calming down, Sun Zhong knew that it was the three-law division meeting during the day and leaked the news. Sun Zhong did not dare to go to the Sanfa Department to complain, but his granddaughter promptly reported to the inner court.
Sun Zhong asked in embarrassment: "I'm afraid the inner court is all your aunt and your majesty's people."
The granddaughter replied: "Grandpa, it seems that the Royal Horse Prison is neither under the control of my aunt nor your Majesty. Moreover, you are kind to Chengshan Marquis, who is also in charge of the Tiance Guards under the Yuma Prison. We sent someone to ask for help. Marquis Yu Chengshan, the Royal Horse Supervisor should give him face."
Sun Zhong nodded. In desperation, he had no choice but to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
An hour later, Hao Yi, the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, personally led the Tiance Guards to surround the Sun Mansion, put Sun Zhong under special protection, and detained everyone in the Sun family separately. Even Sun Jizong, the orthodox uncle, was mercilessly arrested. Detained.
Until Sun Jizong was imprisoned in a side room and detained alone, he pretended not to know anything and kept shouting that he was wronged.
Before coming to Sun Mansion, Hao Yi had sent someone to the western suburbs urgently to report the news. Although Hao Yi already knew what was going to happen, he still had to go through the process. He still pretended not to know and sent someone to ask for the emperor's orders.
Late at night, Hao Yi finally got a reply from the emperor, approving the imposition of martial law in the imperial city.
Early the next morning, when officials arrived at the government office, they saw heavily armed soldiers standing everywhere. It's the same as the last martial law. At first glance, he doesn't look like a Jinyiwei. But this time he was more serious than last time, and the soldiers didn't answer any questions he asked.
No one knows what happened.
A group of important ministers came to the cabinet. Wang Wen curiously asked Luo Tong: "What are you doing at the Ministry of War? Why is martial law imposed again?"
Luo Tong was also very innocent: "We at the Ministry of War don't know anything. It seems that the martial law was initiated by the Royal Horse Supervisor again. This is again under His Majesty's order. It seems that something big has happened in the court again.
Martial law was imposed last time because the prince was poisoned. I don’t know what the reason is this time. "
All the gates in the imperial city have been sealed. You can't go in and you can't go out. Even Zhu Qizhen was confused when he heard the news of martial law, and quickly summoned Xing'an, Ruan Lang, and Cao Jixiang for questioning.
None of the eunuchs knew why. Zhu Qizhen asked helplessly: "Where is Chen Xiang? Where has Chen Xiang gone?"
