    Chapter 115: Killing (Part 2) "Why did the Queen come to say this? When did I say I would kill you?" "Your Majesty, I did not mean this. I am the one who deserves to be punished. I beg your Majesty to put me to death."  "To thank the people of the world." Li Xian looked at Webster suspiciously. Regardless of his merits and demerits, this wife has an extremely strong heart that is unimaginable to ordinary people.  What kind of opera did she sing today?  No matter what, the reason why he had the courage to survive in such difficult days was all because of his wife's encouragement.  Later, their mother summoned them to the capital, and she also made many suggestions, and her achievements were very great.  So he helped her up from the snow again and said, "Queen, let's talk carefully if we have something to say." He helped Wei Shi into the palace, and then comforted her: "Queen, I think you misunderstood me. I don't want to persecute you.  Mother's family, but now your mother's family is too big to lose. As Song Jing said, the Eastern Han Dynasty was defeated by the relatives, and at the same time, the fate of all the relatives was equally miserable. The moon is full, and the water is full. Queen, you see for yourself, now they are even with me.  "Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely true. I also knew about this before. I thought that because I married the emperor, my family has been worried all these years, so your majesty ascended the throne."  , I want to make some compensation. Who would have thought that they would not even pay attention to His Majesty today. If Song Jing had not come back to present the memorial, I would not have known how to regret it.  Only after the memorial was reported to me did I realize how big of a mistake I had made. "In fact, she was thinking bitterly in her heart, Song Jing, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, at least it is not too late in ten months.  It's you, you forced me to do this. Li Xian didn't know what she was thinking deep down. Looking at his wife, he began to scratch his head. Could it be that Song Jing's remarks were really like Lu Yun's enlightenment.  My own wife.  If that's the case, it would be a great thing.  But this happened suddenly, so Li Xian rubbed his hands and didn't know what to say.  He walked a few steps and then shouted: "Bring the toiletries for the queen yet." In fact, some people were waiting for Li Xian's words.  Many maids and eunuchs went down and brought hot water, but there is a word here called "soup".  Several more fur robes were brought, and the palace maid combed Webster's messy hair neatly.  After a while, Webster returned to her charming and charming lady.  Watching the palace maid paint layers of pink and white on Wei's thin cheeks reminded Li Xian of the past, when the little girl married into the palace for the first time.  At that time, Webster was still very curious about everything in the palace. At that time, he was not yet the crown prince. At that time, his four brothers were still living a happy life under the protection of their father.  The kind-hearted eldest son Li Hong also protects his younger brothers and sisters like an old hen.  The second child is amazingly talented and likes to talk loudly, while the fourth child is just a little kid with a runny nose.  Recalling that time, a trace of tenderness gradually appeared on Li Xian's face.  But why do I think of so many things in the past today? Is it really true that the weather has cleared up after rain?  He held Webster's little hand and said heartbrokenly: "Look at you, you can't say anything properly, you're frozen like this." Webster ignored him, took his hand back from his, and took it out of his arms.  Something, he said angrily: "Your Majesty, this is for you." This sentence interrupted Li Xian's warm memories. He took the stack of things and found four resignation letters.  The first one above is Wei Juyuan's request to become an official, the second one is from Wei Sili, the third one is from Wei Wen, and the fourth one is from Wei Anshi.  Li Xian rubbed his eyes, he didn't believe it.  After looking at it again, I was sure.  This retreat means that the four prime ministers, that is, the Wei family, will hand over all four phases. Does it mean that the sun is coming out from the west?  He looked at Webster with some disbelief, and Webster said: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it. As a queen, this is your majesty's favor. Even if your natal family is as glorious as it is today, it is also a reward from your majesty. But now  Your Majesty is not happy with us. I have no choice but to persuade them to hand over their positions. Moreover, Wei Juyuan and Wei Sili are also old and have reached the age of officialdom. Therefore, I beg your Majesty to allow me to let you go so that the Wei family can end well.  , please die here to thank the world." After saying that, she knelt down again, the pear blossoms were raining.  If Li Dan were here, he would still be clear-headed.  But this time Li Xian finally believed what Webster said. He helped Webster up and said, "Why did the queen say this? I did this for the sake of the court. But I will not be fooled by lard. Even the queen said this to me."  My helpI forgot all about it.  " Having said this, he looked at the four resignation letters in his hand, carefully read them one by one, and said carefully, "Queen, I have an idea.  " "Your Majesty, you say.  " "Song Jing's performance is not unreasonable.  There are many officials in the imperial court, including ten prime ministers. This is something I have neglected before.  For the sake of the country, a group of officials must be cut, and the number of prime ministers must also be slightly reduced." Li Xian took two steps and said again: "Queen, you see, it is better to let Wei Juyuan and Wei Sili serve as two ministers, Wei Wen and Wei Anshi.  How about continuing to serve as prime ministers and cutting out two of the other prime ministers?  "This is a habit he has developed over the years. Whenever he has questions in his mind, he likes to ask Webster. This is also the main reason why he lost power step by step. "At this point, he also asked, how about it? Of course the two people's  Even though he was still in office, he was still very sober. Wei Anshi and even Wang Hua ranked him among the top leaders. Although he was from the Wei family, his overall conduct was very good in the Wei family, and he was still completely different from other Weis.  As for Wei Wen, he is the most incompetent person among the four Weis, but he is Wei's closest cousin. Of course, being incompetent is good. The more incompetent, the smaller the threat. He thinks very well, but he doesn't know what is going on.  The top ministers, his impression in their hearts. At the same time, Wei Wen's retention also took care of Wei Juyuan and Wei Sili. But Wei Juyuan and Wei Sili also lowered their heads, with a trace of viciousness in their eyes.  Li Xian thought that his calculation was very good. How could Wei not know about it? When Wei Anshi was in the court, he could only acquiesce and keep silent. He treated Wei Wen as his closest relative.  Although Li Xian's most reliable confidants are a little less talented, they can further defend his own strength. However, the people who really come in handy are Wei Juyuan and Wei Sili. If Li Xian leaves two people behind this time, it will be Wei Sili or Wei Juyuan.  One of them, plus Wei Wen, might give it another thought, but if Wei Wen and Wei Anshi were left behind, then Wei's psychology at this time has left posterity guessing, and this conversation did not reveal it.  Even though Li Xian began to weaken Wei Dang, he did not express strong hostility. Therefore, this became a mystery in history. Wei Shi raised his head and said with a pitiful look: "Your Majesty, you are your Majesty.  , you should deal with it as you see fit.  "However, she raised her head and looked at the sunlight outside the palace. The snow outside the palace became heavier again, and pieces fell like goose feathers. The world was clean. In this clean world, no one thought of one thing  The ugly and dirty things in the world were about to happen quietly. At this moment, as if she heard her voice, a eunuch came in and said to Li Xian: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat.  " Li Xian looked at Webster and said, "Queen, let's have a meal together.  " Ever since Yan Qinrong first got into trouble, and then Zhang Shuo and others came forward, he and Webster had a big conflict. They haven't had dinner together for a long time. Webster's low-key this time, this compromise, also  Li Xian was very satisfied, so he once again thought of the benefits of Wei's past and invited her to dine with her. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift." Wei Shi bent down and bowed, as gracefully as if he had just gotten married thirty years ago.  Like the shy and curious little girl Li Xian was, Li Xian reached out and took her hands up. The two of them walked out together, seeing them reconciled as before. All the eunuchs and maids in the palace.  They all breathed a sigh of relief. Everything is going well for the family and there will be peace in the harem. If the two people continue to be in a stalemate, it will be the palace ladies and eunuchs who will be the ones who come to the dining room. The eunuchs will prepare delicious dishes one after another.  But maybe because of Li Bao'er's reminder, the eunuch next to Li Xian tried a bite of each dish before letting him put it on the table and scolded him: "What are you doing?"  doing what?  " He cursed in his heart: Even if he tastes it, he also tastes it behind his back. If he tastes it in front of the Queen, wouldn't it ruin our atmosphere? He also glanced at Webster guiltily, but Webster pretended that nothing happened.  Same. Webster poured two glasses of wine himself, picked up the glass, and said, "Your Majesty, I give you this glass of wine to apologize.  "As he spoke, he pursed his lips and drank it in one breath. "Queen, what's the crime? Speaking of which, I made some mistakes before and didn't communicate with the queen properly. Now it's raining and the sky is clear. Queen, we don't want the past.  Let¡¯s mention it again, okay?  From now on II will treat you well.  " "I don't dare.  "Webster drank a glass of wine, and clouds of red clouds immediately flew up on his face. Li Xian looked at it for a moment and said: "Queen, you are still so beautiful.  " "Your Majesty, thank you for your compliments. I am getting old.  Your Majesty, may I dance for you?  " "Okay," Li Xian said happily. "This dance is new to me. I'm afraid that I can't dance well. Can you let them go down?  "Wester took a look and saw the eunuchs and maids standing nearby. Not only Li Xian, but also the maids and eunuchs didn't pay attention. Although most of these people were really Li Xian's people. The food had been inspected, and there were no weapons in the room.  , Even if there are weapons, Webster is just a womanly family. If we still have to take precautions, what should we do if the emperor sleeps with the queen in the future? In fact, Webster is really like a little sheep now. If in the past,  He said directly to these people: ¡°Get back.  "Who dared to stay in the room." The servants retreated together, and Wei held up the hem of her skirt and danced a barbarian tap dance. She was really new to it, and the dance was a little awkward, but Li Xian wanted to express his appreciation.  "Your Majesty, you are making fun of me.  "Webster arrogantly threw herself into Li Xian's arms. "Li Xian laughed happily: "The queen dances very well. Our queen is beautiful and fragrant. No matter what kind of dance she dances, she is far better than those in the studio."  maid.  " At this moment, Li Xian felt family affection, marital affection, and even love. The heartstrings that had been tense for so many days relaxed, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed because of the smile. But there were no eyes behind him.  He couldn't see that Webster's hand holding his back reached out and slipped out a small ball from the sleeve of her skirt. Those crisp hands that had once fascinated him so much, slowly crushed the small ball.  Then this slender and delicate hand reached forward, and with this movement, the powder fell into Li Xian's wine glass. But the smile on her face became more charming and cute, and she said softly: "I am here."  Sing another song for His Majesty.  " After finishing speaking, she shouted: "Here comes someone.  " The maids and eunuchs standing outside the palace rushed in again, and Wei Shi ordered again: "Bring the piano.  " After a while, a eunuch took out a Yao Qin. Wei Shi put his hand on the Qin pillar, and while playing the Qin, he sang a song "There are plums in the sky": "There are plums in the trees, but they are actually seven. I pray that I, a common man, will be lucky.  . There are plum blossoms in the sky. In fact, there are three flowers in the sky. There are plum trees in the basket. This is a very bold poem in the Book of Songs.  In the open atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, it was normal for Webster to sing this song while playing the piano. The poetry was originally filled with strong feelings of spring, and there were layers of seductive charm in the corners of her eyes.  Xian was even more fascinated. He unconsciously picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The music stopped. Li Xian suddenly covered his throat and looked at Wei Shi in horror. He wanted to say something, but there was a violent pain in his chest.  The pain made him unable to say anything. He even thought that the eunuch who was serving him had tasted the wine and food. Where did this problem come from? Then he screamed in pain and rushed over.  , hugged him and asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?  Don't scare me.  Come on, please invite the imperial physician to come.  " At this time, the palace was in chaos, and several eunuchs immediately called for the imperial doctor. Li Xian pointed at Wei Shi and said: "You you" Wei Shi said in his ear: "Your Majesty, I don't want to do this.  .  You forced me to do this.  If it weren't for Gu, you would hang yourself in Fangzhou.  Without Gu, you would be even less likely to become an emperor.  Now you have only been emperor for a few years, but you immediately started attacking Gu.  This world is lonely, and this throne is also lonely.  Li Xian was furious after hearing this, and finally said "Wow", opened his mouth and spurted out a large mouthful of blood. Wei Shi fell on him and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Don't scare me."  " Li Xian had his last breath left at this time. Seeing her pretentiousness and pretentiousness, and thinking of the viciousness of her heart, he became angry again and spit out another mouthful of blood. His face was like a white paper. Then he tilted his head and finally  Died. At this time, the imperial doctor also ran over, looked at Li Xian, then looked at Wei Shi, put his hand on Li Xian's pulse, and said: "Queen, Your Majesty has passed away.  "    "How can this be?  How can this be?  "Webster grabbed his clothes frantically.   The imperial doctor had just seen the blood on the ground and was already very clear about it. However, he knew that this matter was not trivial, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty died due to sudden heart yang (acute coronary heart disease)."  It cannot be said that he was poisoned to death by Webster. As mentioned before, there is no way to go out of the palace gate at the back.  Even if he didn¡¯t say anything, he wouldn¡¯t even think about walking out.  After hearing the news, Gao Song led the Yulin Army and immediately quietly sealed the palace.  With the arrival of the Yulin Army, Wei Shi felt confident. She looked at the dozens of frightened eunuchs and maids standing in the palace, as well as the imperial doctors, and said sternly: "Your Majesty's heart is so violent, why didn't you deal with it earlier?"  Gu said, "Why don't you take good care of him?" After saying that, he ordered: "Come here, drag these slaves out and chop them down." The reason why he performed this play was to force the imperial doctor to say,  Regardless of whether it was due to a heart-yang explosion or sudden death, it only needs to be proven that Li Xian died suddenly due to a serious illness.  Although these eunuchs still suspected that it was poisoning, they had all tasted the food and wine.  Could it be that Webster poisoned Li Xian in front of him?  Li Xian is not that stupid.  However, these people all thought of Li Guo'er's early warning, and even thought of the possibility of a ghost when Webster ordered them to go out, but there was no evidence, so they all had no choice but to cry for mercy.  Webster has obtained the imperial physician¡¯s testimony, will he spare their lives?  Then, in this pure snowy sky, she started a series of arrangements. First, she kept the mourning secret, took charge of all the affairs of the court, and publicly announced that the emperor was sick.  Then he secretly recruited 50,000 soldiers from various prefectures to garrison the capital, and ordered Ma Duwei Wei Jie, Wei Guan, Wei Weiqing Wei Xuan and others to lead these troops.  He also put Wei Yuan in charge of inspecting the capital, and ordered 500 generals such as Zuojianmen and chamberlain Xue Sijian to march to Junzhou to prepare for King Qiao's great fortune.  No one paid attention at first, and the ministers of the DPRK and China continued to argue over the position. However, groups of troops that had been secretly prepared quickly entered the capital, and these ministers realized that something was wrong.  At this time, Weishi summoned all the prime ministers, including those who had served in Beijing in the previous dynasty, into the palace one by one.  Seeing that it was Webster sitting on the chair in the middle, wearing hemp and mourning, some people's expressions had changed.  Song Jing asked: "Where is Your Majesty?" Weishi covered his eyes with his sleeves and sobbed: "Your Majesty passed away a few days ago because of a violent heart attack." "Died? Your Majesty was fine a few days ago, why?  Will you die? " "Xiangong Song, the late emperor wanted you to be upright and made you the prime minister. Now that the emperor has passed away and the country is not stable, as the prime minister, you don't take it as your duty to stabilize the world. What do you mean by this sentence?  "Come here, according to Yi's decree, Song Jing was demoted to the governor of Beizhou immediately because of his great respect for the country." But he immediately changed his words and said, "This man is a man of fame and reputation.  Shortly after coming to Beijing, he tried to instigate feelings between Gu and the Emperor. His plan was not treacherous. Come on, take him to Dali Temple for interrogation to see what his intentions are." Before Wei Shi finished what he said, two eunuchs came over from behind.  Like a wolf and a tiger, they took off Song Jing Da Zi's uniform and escorted him out.  Seeing this scene, the more than twenty current and former prime ministers, large and small, all remained silent.  Wei Shi then said: "It is reported that Shangguan Zhaorong has entered the hall." Shangguan Xiaowan walked into the hall. She had stayed in the hall for the past few days and did not dare to go out.  As early as when the palace was heavily guarded, she knew that what Wang Hua guessed had happened, but in this extraordinary period, she could not act rashly, otherwise she would be killed at any time.  Entering the palace, Wei Shi said to Shangguan Xiaowan: "The late emperor passed away a few days ago because of a sudden burst of heart yang. You and Princess Taiping draft a posthumous edict." For people who died of such a sudden illness, important ministers drafted it on the spur of the moment.  There is an explanation to the people of the world, and the people of the world are convinced and stable.  Webster gave it to Princess Taiping and Shangguan Xiaowan, which seemed very generous.  In fact, when she walked out of the palace, the snow had stopped, and a sun hung warmly in the sky, with a smug sneer on her lips.  Don¡¯t say that Shangguan Xiaowan is hers, but not hers. Under such a general situation, do you dare to draft a will that is detrimental to her?  She felt that the throne was so close to her.  []
