72nd bowl of soup (7)
The news of the emperor’s death shocked the world. Except for the emperor’s people, everyone hated Qin Shaofu, and no one had any objection to the Queen Wei quarreling with him. The emperor has gone, and now only Queen Wei is qualified and able to come out to preside over the overall situation. She is just right, who can call her beak?
However, after Queen Wei summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to issue his will, some people jumped out to express their disapproval.
“Niang Niang, Chen Yi still has many doubts about this matter. How Qin Shaofu entered the palace and why he wanted to kill His Majesty, even so unscrupulously, was actually arrested. Although Chen Su Rili did not have a deep friendship with him, he still did not know him. Knowing the foundation of his character, Qin Shaofu really doesn’t seem to be a person who would do such a violent thing. I hope the empress will see it!”
This person’s name is Wei Ju. He was awarded the champion in the year of weak crown. The first emperor once praised him as a great horse of thousands of miles, with the ability to govern the country and save the world. But Queen Wei knew that even if this person was talented, he would never be loyal to herself.
Manchu dynasty civil and military, only he stood up and questioned. On the one hand, no one dares, on the other hand, it is to preserve strength. How much Queen Wei knew the emperor, and how much he knew these people under him, especially after she was about to take the emperor’s life. Once the emperor died, there was bound to be a chaos in the world. If she was not sure about taking the government and politics in her hands, she would not be able to make dangerous moves. But what is interesting is that it seems that only because she is a woman, no man will convince her.
“Wei Qing called for Qin Shaofu’s grievances like this, does it mean she knows what’s wrong?” Queen Wei tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with the armour, the cold gem-encrusted armour and the hard wood collided with each other, making a strange noise . The whole hall was silent, and under the coercion of this woman, there was not even a panting person.
Her questioning was different from others, there was no excitement or anger, and even her breathing was cold. But Wei Ju was looked at with such a look, and there was a sense of panic in his heart for no reason. This kind of feeling was never before faced with his Majesty. He settled his mind and knelt down and said: “The minister dare not, the minister just feels that there should be hidden feelings…”
At this moment, the forbidden army sent to ransack the house came back. First, they presented a wooden box to Queen Wei. After the box was opened, there was an additional letter in Queen Wei’s hand. She didn’t even look at it when she picked it up, but first gave Wei Ju a meaningful look. There was no pride, no warning, no threat, not even a bit of emotion, but Wei Ju was stunned by the look in his eyes, as if he had some deadly handle in the opponent’s hand.
“This letter is very interesting. Since Wei Qing pleaded with Qin Shaofu’s rebellious courtier, I should read this letter. I am afraid that you will not believe it. The paint on this letter has not been removed.” He waved his hand and sent it to him.
How can Wei Ju not recognize this letter? Either the emperor or Qin Shaofu, these strategies were implemented after they had negotiated. The letter was written in nothing but the communication between Qin Shaofu and the barbarians who were in charge of the communication. In fact, he not only knew, he even knew what was written in it.
He held the flimsy letter in his hand, but it seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. The cold sweat slowly wetted his back. Suddenly he did not dare to look directly at Queen Wei, for fear of seeing what was expected in those eyes. .
“What’s the matter, Master Wei, why don’t you open it and take a look?” Queen Wei’s voice was soft, but aggressive.
Wei Ju wanted to intercede with Qin Shaofu, yes, then she would have to admit that Qin Shaofu was a sinner who collaborated with the enemy and traitorous and murdered his Majesty, because Wei Ju knew very well that he could want to save Qin Shaofu, but he would never do anything to save him.
Not only Empress Wei, but also ministers who didn’t understand the situation around him urged: “Master Wei, quickly open and see, what is written in it?”
Wei Ju’s face turned pale, he slowly tore open the sealing paint, took a light breath, and gave the letter to someone else after just one glance. The minister took the look and read the ten lines and was furious: “What a wolf ambition! Queen mother! According to Weichen, beheading is really cheap. Qin Shaofu seems to be such a treason and king-killer, and he deserves a thousand swords. !”
What is it that makes this adult so angry? When this letter is finished reading, everyone will understand. It turns out that Qin Shaofu had long been in collusion with barbarians. His Majesty discovered this matter not long after he sent Marshal Wei to the frontier. His Majesty had always been generous, and he still wanted to give Qin Shaofu a chance. Who would think that Qin Shaofu was so angry that he would be bold enough to kill him! Damn it! Damn it!
“Nowadays, no one has any objections to the treatment of this palace, right?” Queen Wei asked, but her eyes looked at Wei Ju, and the other party had to kneel down respectfully under her sight: “Niang Niang Yingming.”
Queen Wei twitched her mouth. This was probably the first sincere smile she had in a long time, because she was indeed happy now.
No one can make her sad again, and no one can restrain her. She is the most free and the most powerful. Once the emperor died, she would have control over the world, just because she would be a good queen mother for the reputation of the Wei family, but the emperor was so small, the power was not still in her hands.
So she was very happy.
You see, what she wants can actually be obtained in such a simple way. Why did you bother with your Majesty in the past? He wouldn’t like her. Now she doesn’t want him to like her, so she is really happy.
The emperor was dead, but the etiquette was the same. The state funeral took more than a month. On the day the emperor was buried in the tomb, Empress Wei held back and stayed in the Taimiao by herself. The person who will never wake up again: “If your Majesty knew that it would end like this today, would he regret deceiving his concubines like that?”
After asking her, she felt ridiculous. Since she has decided to abandon it, why should she mention it again? She doesn’t know if your majesty will regret it, but she will never let herself regret it, otherwise all this will become nothingness. What she pursued in her life was no longer the love of the emperor, but the power of the world. Queen Wei smiled, not as cold as before, and the warmth melted the winter. “Your Majesty will naturally not regret it. A person like your Majesty will not change if you look for it. No matter how bad it is to get drunk, it will be more pleasing to your Majesty than the concubine, the queen.
“Your Majesty, let’s not meet again in the next life, so as not to fight for you to death.”
After speaking, she turned around and never looked back. The emperor who made her love and despair for half a lifetime and finally gave up completely, sleeps in her hands forever.
And what’s the point of loving Cheng Zuizui again? She is his righteous wife, and only she is eligible to be buried with him a hundred years later. This person did not belong to her when he was alive, but after death, she would not cede him to anyone.
Empress Wei touched her chest, the pain there has gradually disappeared, she put away the smile at the corner of her mouth, and returned to the coldness of the past.
When the emperor died, many concubines in the harem lost their backbone, especially Cheng Zuizui. She was restless day and night, tossing and turning awake, fearing that Emperor Wei would find her own trouble later. This fear and anxiety even overwhelmed the pain of the emperor’s death. How proud she was before, how scared she is now.
But the time that should come will come eventually. Empress Wei summoned all the concubines of the emperor. She gently tapped on the armour. This is her habitual action. People who know her will know this at the moment. The emotions are uncertain, and no one can figure it out, so no one knows whether the next second is life or death.
Your Majesty has gone, and now it is Queen Wei who has the power to live and kill them.
This queen is no longer as easy to talk as before, and the past gentleness disappears. Cheng Zuizui tried to shrink her figure so that Queen Wei could not see her. How could Queen Wei fail to see her small movements, and a mockery flashed in her eyes. Then, he said indifferently: “According to the law, the concubines who have no children from the third rank and below will go to the imperial mausoleum to be buried.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall suddenly burst into tears. The beauties no longer have the dignity and beauty of the past, and now the emperor they can please is no longer there. Who can show beauty? Fate is still more important.
“However, I thought about it carefully and felt that this law of burial is really unsatisfactory. Therefore, I decided to give you two choices. One is to send you home, and the other is to cut your hair into a nun and go to the nun’s nunnery in Nanshan. The long accompaniment to the ancient Buddha with a blue lantern.”
In comparison, of course the former is more cost-effective! Even if a woman who is an emperor can’t remarry, she is better than being a sister-in-law with her head shaved!
Compared with other people’s relaxation, Cheng Zuizui is still very nervous, she is different from others!
But to her surprise, the queen guard did not bother her from beginning to end. As if she was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party, Cheng Zuizui realized for the first time that it was the queen of the mother’s ritual world, and she was just a low-level beauty, she didn’t even have her own name, and never will be. Qualified to be His Majesty’s wife.
She was at a loss, she didn’t know where to go. Hua Zhi supported Empress Wei, and when the concubines in the main hall stepped back, she said, “Why did the empress let the process beauties?” She hated Cheng Meiren so badly that she was so unhappy that she disturbed her!
“She has never done anything to this palace. From beginning to end, she was just loved by her majesty.” Empress Wei was indifferent.
Because it was never Cheng Zuizui who was sorry for her, but Your Majesty.
And now she got it back, so no one owes her, and she owes no one else.
Huazhi didn’t understand, Empress Wei didn’t say more, but told her to bring the little prince.
No, it shouldn’t be said to be the little prince, now he is the little emperor.
