Chapter 220 The Prince of Flowing Water, The Iron Concubine 23
In the palace, the emperor thoroughly investigated the life experiences of Zhou Jiayi's maid, concubine, and Miss Zhou from childhood to adulthood.
The only similarity is that there was an accident in a certain period of time, and then the three women were possessed by evildoers, and the last purpose of evildoers was to entangle the prince.
The emperor even found out that Zhou Kuang was the assassin who had assassinated him, but was let go by the prince.
The emperor looked at the words and deeds of the prince recorded on the dragon case, and said angrily: "What a prince, I don't know that he has such great resentment and dissatisfaction with me in private, but he is really a good son of mine."
The emperor was so angry that he fell headlong on the dragon case.
His majesty's fainting is not a trivial matter, it alarmed the court and harem, the imperial physician consulted, and the empress dowager and concubines came to visit one after another.
After tossing around in the middle of the night, the emperor woke up leisurely. The first thing he did after waking up was to abolish the prince and arrest Zhou Jiayi, a witch, all over the country.
The crown prince was abolished, and the emperor is now sick in bed. In order to calm people's hearts, he can only choose a suitable candidate for the crown prince from among the remaining sons.
The first thing the emperor thought of was King Yong, but he suddenly remembered that at the banquet in the past, King Yong once said that he liked the demon girl. , my country in Daliang is going to be controlled by that witch, that's all for it.
"Come here, put King Yong into prison, no one is allowed to visit without my order"
The second prince never imagined that he would lose the throne because of a drunken remark.
In the capital city, all the gates of the palace are under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. When the emperor is lingering on the sick bed, the six princes are by his side, showing great filial piety.
Before his death, the emperor summoned the ministers of the court and confessed his last words in public: "canonize the sixth prince as the crown prince, and the three princes will assist the government..."
The bell in the palace rang, heralding the death of the emperor.
In the Cangbai courtyard, Yan Ying looked up at the gray sky and said, "The sky has changed."
With the death of Emperor Daxing, the country cannot live without a king. With the support of all officials, the six princes successfully ascended the throne in the name of prince during the filial period. one.
And in the harem, the empress dowager devoted herself to worshiping the Buddha, not caring about worldly affairs, the empress survived in name only, Yu Concubine, the eldest biological mother of the prince, wanted the little emperor to promote his natal father and brother.
Jing Ming, the chief eunuch of the imperial study, took this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, and firmly controlled the harem. The sixth prince himself was a half-grown child who was lively and active, and was eager to have fun. Now that he is on the throne, what are you waiting for? play.
The little emperor was impatient to hear what the officials said about government affairs and state affairs, so he pushed all the papers submitted by the officials to Jingming, the head of the eunuchs, and delegated power to the eunuchs to replace the emperor's review of government affairs, while he led a group of eunuchs in the palace every day play.
Three months later, in the Cangbai courtyard, Yan Ying had nothing to do, lying on a chair and reading.
As soon as Yan Liang returned home, he didn't even have time to change his clothes. He hurried over with a bird cage. When he walked into the courtyard, the fatigue from the past month relaxed, and the young man's face was a little tired.
"The warm sun is just right, the breeze is not dry, the life of the third sister is so comfortable"
Yan Ying put down the book and looked up, Yan Liang was already sitting opposite her: "This parrot is raised by a good friend of mine. Three days ago, he was dismissed from office by the traitor eunuch Jingming because of his outspokenness, and he was imprisoned in prison. Prison, I went to see him today, he entrusted me to take care of this parrot"
"I'm busy with business, and I don't have time to take care of a bird. Thinking that Sanmei is bored in this Cangbai courtyard, I brought it here to relieve your boredom."
Yan Ying looked at the bird in the cage, and stretched out her index finger to touch its head. The bird was not afraid of people, but approached affectionately, rubbing its fluffy head against Yan Ying's fingertips. .
"Second brother isn't home recently, what are you up to?"
At this moment, Yan Liang was no longer the unrestrained and unrestrained person he was when he first met him. When he brought up business, his brows were tightly frowned, and the green stubble growing on his chin hadn't been repaired in time, and he was full of anger.
"Isn't this young majesty who promotes his mother's family, favors treacherous eunuchs, mutilates siblings, and framed ministers. I look at his words and deeds. Such a king is comparable to such dishonest and stupid kings as Jie and Zhou."
Yan Ying raised her head to look at him, hid the smile at the corner of her mouth, and pretended to tilt her ears: "Da Liang's foundation has been established for a hundred years, and it's a time of prosperity. Why did the second brother say such a thing?"
Yan Liang picked up the teacup and looked up to drink it to the bottom: "Three sisters don't know, this little emperor is still young, he doesn't respect the teacher's teaching, instead he led a group of eunuchs and maids to act recklessly in the palace. Half a month ago, he shot and killed him in public. The eighth son of the late emperor"
"The censor tried to persuade the emperor, but was dismissed from his official position by the treacherous eunuchs around the emperor and thrown into prison"
"From then on, the little emperor relied on the treacherous eunuch Jingming everywhere. He not only approved memorials, but also intervened in government affairs on behalf of the emperor, dismissed loyal officials, promoted corrupt officials, and persuaded all officials to die. His majesty ignored them. If things go on like this, what will the future of Daliang be like? It's really hard to say"
After Yan Liang sighed, he looked up at Yan Ying again, organized his words, and then said: "A month ago, the former crown prince Ji Moqian and Miss Zhou, who was wanted by the imperial court, came to Beijing in disguise to find me. Wanted to regain the throne"
"But His Majesty has decreed to abolish his crown prince in public, and the new king has also ascended the throne. The overall situation has been settled, so he joined forces with the former prince's fellows to reject him."
"I never thought that he would not change his mind and sneaked into the palace to find the little emperor. In the end, he was regarded as an assassin and severely injured, and then was taken away by Miss Zhou."
"The little emperor directly decreed that the relatives surnamed Ji should be sentenced to death. The execution ground was horrific. The ten princes left behind by the late emperor, plus a thousand relatives of the emperor, now only the little emperor and that Ji Moqian are left. The two are still alive"
Speaking of this, Yan Liang couldn't help but want to swear. The former prince Ji Moqian usually looks at a good-looking talent, rational and decisive, how could he lose the chain at a critical moment? Forget it, you still have to jump off a cliff to die in love, the key is that you didn't die.
Do you know that when His Majesty decreed to abolish the position of the crown prince, the forces under the crown prince gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and the think tanks could come up with a thousand solutions to the problem in a minute. how long.
But the problem is, we discussed it for a long time, but the person concerned was not there at all.
He and Ms. Zhou are an affectionate and ordinary couple under the cliff, are they having a good time?
It took more than two months to show up, and there is no serious explanation, who can bear it?
Ji Moqian is not a human being, but the forces that have managed to gather under the prince's sect cannot be dispersed like this. After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to abandon the unreliable prince and hang out with Yan Liang instead.
