- Wind and rain gathered in the East Palace, and thunder descended on the sky!
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial edict ordered the five sons of the emperor's heir father Wang Dan, our five brothers, to return to the East Palace from their respective palaces to live together, and to "enter the cabinet" again, which was equivalent to house arrest, and they were demoted from princes to county princes. , the eldest brother Li Chengqi, the grandson of the emperor, was demoted to the King of Shouchun, the second brother Heng Wang Li Chengyi was demoted to the King of Hengyang, I was demoted from the King of Chu to the King of Linzi, the fourth brother Wei Wang Longfan was demoted to the Baling King, and the fifth brother Zhao Wang Longye was demoted to the Pengcheng King. , at the same time, the late uncle Prince Xian¡¯s second son Longye is also locked up with us!
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the censor Zhongcheng Mansion.
Come, Junchen and Wu Chengsi have a drink and have a secret meeting!
¡°Brother, come on, let¡¯s drink!¡±
The scenery here is unique, and Wu Chengsi¡¯s mouse eyes narrowed to two points as he was delighted with the current good situation. He always raised his glasses frequently and drank every cup!
"drink!"
The drink dripped from his pale lips, and there was coldness in his thinness. Lai Junchen smiled lightly¡ª¡ª
"Your Majesty, our situation is good, but don't forget that even though Huang Sidan has been ruined, Huang Sidan is still the emperor's heir, and is still one of His Majesty's successors. Moreover, there are still people behind your back. There is an eyeing Liang Wang Sansi. Don¡¯t forget, when you are worshiping at the Wanxiang Shrine, the person behind you is not your eldest son Wu Yanji, the king of Nanyang County, but your uncle and brother Liang Wang Wu Sansi. Your Majesty You still leave two paths for yourself! If you don¡¯t kick them away one by one, my lord, can you settle down and enjoy this glass of mellow wine?"
Fighting with others is endless fun. The emperor's father, Wang Dan, and the king of Liang thought twice. These were the people who could threaten him. When Wu Chengsi heard about the two of them, he became energetic, and his eyes shone with a cold light. , fighting spirit is boundless and said: "Yes, brother, if we don't clear away those stumbling blocks, we won't be able to sleep soundly!"
Lai Junchen also said: "So, we are going to take them"
"Knead them to death one by one!" Wu Chengsi continued: "We must first destroy that boy from the Li family!" The boy from the Li family, his uncles and brothers, were more of a threat than the boy from the Li family, and besides, they still had A series of follow-up measures against it have not yet been implemented!
He was quite satisfied with Wu Chengsi's excitement. He was a good master! Lai Junchen said slowly: "My lord, what do you think of the anti-poem 'Using Force (Dongwu)' by the two people, Fan Yunxian and Pei Bigong, the eunuchs of Shang Fang?"
His eyebrows tightened, Wu Chengsi nodded and said: "Brother, you are very good. My aunt also knows that these two old boys are close to the boy from the Li family. If they say they wrote it, my aunt will easily believe it. It should click." Those two old boys!¡±
With a sinister smile on his face, after drinking a glass of wine, Lai Junchen said coldly: "Not only can we kill those two old guys, but before that, we can also interrogate a series of those who use force (Dong Wu) we want. None)'Detailed plan for anti-poetry!"
Wu Chengsi grinned. What they said in the prison was a detailed plan to "use force" to counter the poem. Of course, it was fatal to the East Palace.
Lai Junchen continued: "Whether your Majesty believes it or not, the Emperor Sidan of the East Palace is suspected of being a 'treason' conspirator, giving us an excuse to directly surround the East Palace for a surprise interrogation. Your Majesty, you say, Who can not call me truthfully in front of you?" Whatever he asked them to say, they had to say it!
Thinking of the people in the East Palace screaming and wailing under Lai Junchen's ten tortures, and the scene where they could not survive but could not die, Wu Chengsi shrank his neck, shuddered, and said: "Brother Lai, I admire you!"
Wu Chengsi believed that if the evil star in front of him took action, he would definitely be able to quickly interrogate the answer he wanted - the evidence of the Li family boy's rebellion. As long as the results of the interrogation were sent to his aunt before she could react, then The Li family boy is completely finished. Even if his old aunt wants to protect him, she can't. Moreover, they will have merit in the interrogation and will not be held responsible for trespassing into the East Palace.
The feeling of being recognized by others is very wonderful. Lai Junchen nodded with satisfaction: "Your Majesty, do you still remember what I told you, that I want to uproot the influence of Concubine Liu Dou's natal family?"
"What, Brother Lai, is it done?" Looking at Lai Junchen, Wu Chengsi was excited. This is not easy to do!
"Hey! It's half done!" Lai Junchen said with a sigh, but looking at the smile on his face, he was obviously very satisfied with what he had done, "In both the Liu and Dou families, Lai Mou has placed people, but the Liu family is too strict. I can't find any reason to accuse him, and it will only make His Majesty unhappy!"
"Yes, we can't offend my aunt!" To his aunt, Wu Chengsi was worshiping a living Bodhisattva. Suddenly, he realized and said quickly: "Brother, you mean she is from the Dou family. Is it done?"
"Not bad!" Lai Junchen nodded with a smile, "LaiI spent some money earlier to bribe a slave of the Dou family named Dou Jinyun. A few days ago, according to a letter from Dou Jinyun from Runzhou, she knew that her daughter was dead. The old lady Pang of the Dou family prayed to Buddha every day. God, we invited a lot of monks and Taoists. My lord, do you think this old lady is praying to Buddha for her daughter? Or do you want to curse His Majesty to die early? "
"Brother, it's really high!"
With admiration in his heart, Wu Chengsi gave a thumbs up!
On the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Dou Jinyun, a slave from my mother¡¯s family, reported on her grandmother Pang¡¯s family and asked a wizard to perform a ritual at her home in Runzhou, cursing Grandma Huang¡¯s early death, echoing her mother¡¯s mother-in-law Dou¡¯s family in Luoyang, the capital of the gods!
This matter soon reached Heaven, alarming Grandma Huang!
On the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial concubine sent Xue Jichang, the supervisory censor, to Runzhou to investigate.
On the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month, Xue Jichang returned to Beijing without investigation. The report was true, and he was promoted to the fifth rank by the censor of the eighth rank. His grandmother was sentenced to beheading, and his father Wang Dan did not dare to say a good word!
"Is this sheer nonsense! How could an old lady praying to Buddha for her dead daughter become a curse on His Majesty!" Xu Yougong, the upright man who was the Prime Minister of Xingcheng, saw the case file and became furious. He risked his life to plead his case again and again, and finally had to change the sentence!
On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, the verdict was passed: Grandma Pang was spared from death; Grandfather Dou Xiaochen was demoted to Sima of Luozhou, Lingnan; Grandfather's three sons were exiled to Lingnan; in addition, Xu Yougong was revoked from all his positions and demoted to a commoner!
On January 18, the second year of Changshou, outside the East Palace, Pei Gong, the supervisor of Shangfang, and Fan Yunxian, the chamberlain's constant servant, were arrested!
January 20th, noon!
The cold sun hung high in the sky, without even a trace of warmth. Its golden light shone brightly across the sky and earth. Everywhere it passed, darkness retreated and evil disappeared. It seemed to be driving away all evil, but under the vast darkness the roar of the evil ghost was not seen!
In the Yingxian Palace and the Palace of Eternal Life, Grandma Huang was lying on the couch taking a nap, Shangguan Wan'er gently squeezing her shoulders.
Looking at this ancient old woman, a feeling of reverence arose in his heart. Wu Chengsi said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the anti-poetry of 'Using Force (Dongwu)' is now in sight!"
"Who wrote it?" There was no hint of emotion or anger, Grandma Huang's voice was calm.
"This kind of thing can only be solved in three words: kill!" kill! kill!
"Your Majesty, it has been verified by Chengsi that the counter-poem was written by Shangfang Supervisor Pei Bigong and Imperial Attendant Fan Yunxian. The two thieves were captured the day before yesterday. After consecutive days of surprise interrogation by the Censor Zhongcheng Lai, the two thieves have confessed to using force (Dong Wu). )' Please let your Majesty take a look at the specific plan." Wu Chengsi said, handing the confession with the handprints of Pei Gong and Fan Yunxian to Wan'er with both hands!
Not daring to take another look, Shangguan Wan'er gently placed it in Grandma Huang's hand and lay there like this. Grandma Huang slowly started to look at it!
The more she looked, the more shocked she became, and the more she looked, the more her face changed. Finally, Grandma Huang slowly sat up without even realizing it!
"This is real?"
Grandma Huang looked at Wu Chengsi in disbelief. According to the confessions of Pei and Fan, Pei and Fan committed treason and committed serious crimes. Death was not a pity. However, Grandma Huang was not shocked because of this. She had long been used to this. What I can't believe is that for every crime in the confession, there is "Ying Yonghei"
Yes, there is indeed no one in this confession that proves that my father Wang Dan was involved in this matter, but every one of them says that when the time comes, what should be done with my father Wang Dan, and what should I do with my father Wang Dan? To be clear, that is , if this 'use of force (fuyu)' coup that can be carried out in the future is to be successful, every step must have the participation of his father, Wang Dan!
Whether you do it intentionally or not, whether you are in a valley or a deep mountain, all storms will surround you, and you are the eye of the storm.
Based on this confession, Grandma Huang can easily deduce that as long as Father Wang Dan is still alive, plots of rebellion will be carried out one after another around Father Wang Dan. What is that called¡ª¡ªUnless Father Wang Dan dies, conspiracy will continue. more than!
With his face unchanged and his heart unfazed, Wu Chengsi gritted his teeth and glared, "Your Majesty, it's true. This is the original confession that Master Chenglai obtained from the mouths of Pei and Fan, the censor. Not a word has been changed. Chengsi wishes I will protect you with the lives of my whole family!" As long as this confession reaches a certain weight, my aunt will not refute it even if she doesn't want to believe it!
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. My daughter, the leader of Li Tang, is difficult to deal with. Grandma Huang waved her hand and said without resistance, "Well, I understand. Da Lang, please go down. Remember, The contents of the confession are strictly confidential. Anyone who violates this will be punished with death!" Within the limits of her heart, she still wanted to protect her little son as much as possible!
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Chengsi was about to retreat!
Grandma Huang added: "By the way, Da Lang, send more people to the East Palace!" Even if Dan'er didn't have the intention, she still had to prevent others from taking advantage of her.?She came to plot against him and oppose him. Besides, her Dan'er is always hard to see through. Who knows if he has that in mind?
Wu Chengsi left with a smile on his face!
