Be a master through ancient times

In the court hall, Yu Zhi was full of panic, he shook his head and said: "No, my minister never sent him a letter, he is the one who wronged me."

"Nizi, you dare to quibble, come up and have a look! If you didn't write this word, who else could it be?" The handwriting on this letter, whether it is the weight of the writing or the direction of the stroke, is exactly the same as his schoolwork.

Yu Zhi stepped forward to take the letter paper in Tianhe Emperor's hand, and after seeing it, he was shocked, it was indeed his handwriting!He suppressed his panic and looked down, only to find that the letter was indeed written by him, but not for this little Wu Zi.

"What else do you have to say?" Tianhedi looked at Yu Zhi coldly. He thought the second child was smarter than the eldest, but now it seems that they are all the same.

Yu Zhi trembling lips, denied it: "I have never written to him, someone must have forged my handwriting to wrong me!"

"You still dare to quibble now, little Wuzi, tell me, when did you get this letter?"

Little Wu Zi knelt on the ground and recalled it, and then said: "On the second day of this month, the letter was placed in the crack of the bricks behind the first plum tree in the imperial garden, every time the second prince sent a message, he put it there. "

Xiao Wuzi discovered this by accident. Once he saw Aunt Xuemei walking in front of the queen with a nervous expression on her face, and followed her with a heartbeat, and then saw her sneaking there, taking advantage of No one around took anything out of it.

He suspected that Xuemei would betray his mother, so he stared at it day and night, and finally one day, he saw a little eunuch next to the second prince secretly put something in it.After the person left, he found the letter inside, which told her to observe the queen's movements carefully, especially in this period, not to ignore any movements.

He thought he had Xuemei's handle, and wanted to tell the empress about it, but the empress loved Lamei and Xuemei very much, and a letter might not be enough. He wanted to collect more evidence, then The letter has been left there.

When the second prince heard him tell the specific time and place, his heart turned cold, thinking that that bitch must have betrayed him.Maybe, this is the bureau she and the queen set up together, the purpose is to discredit him, and then support the boss to take over!

The more critical the moment, the calmer he became.

"Whether the father and emperor believe it or not, the ministers did not do this. I dare to attack the ancestors of the Great Wei Dynasty. If I, Yu Zhi, did such a crazy thing, I will be bombarded by five thunders, and I will not be able to do it." Terrible!"

When Yu Zhi made such a poisonous oath, some people immediately believed that even if he knew Xiao Wuzi, he probably never ordered him to set fire, right?

But some others thought they had found evidence, so they said pointedly: "In the courtroom, nine out of ten would swear that they did not commit a crime, but what happened?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhi's oath just now was a little embarrassing.Yu Zhi glanced at the man, his heart was full of resentment, thinking that once he was out of trouble, he would have to understand that some things should not be said so easily.

Tianhedi was full of doubts in his heart, and he was a little caught off guard by the rapid change of things.After thinking about everything, he had no choice but to say: "The case of the fire in Yuchang Palace was done by this little Wu Zi, and the person behind the scenes—"

He wanted to say that the person behind the scenes still had doubts and that a retrial was needed, but a voice interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is ashamed, and please forgive me!" The empress came in from the side door with tears streaming down her face, with an expression of greater grief than heartbreak, surrounded by palace servants who were terrified because they did not notify the empress of her arrival in time, It's hard to say for a moment who is more pitiful.

The courtiers who reacted faster than Tianhedi, they knelt down together and shouted "thousand years old".

"Empress, why have you come here? Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics. Since you have been doing your best to take care of the harem for me, I will forgive you once, why don't you go back to the palace quickly?" Emperor Tianhe was afraid of Yu Yu. Shi Tai would impeach the queen and make her suffer from infamy, so he preemptively reprimanded her sharply, hoping that she would cooperate.

But instead of retreating, the queen came to the front of the hall and knelt down.

"If it wasn't for worrying that what I said today might shake the foundation of the country, the concubine would not violate this order. It is really that the concubine is afraid that the emperor will listen to the villain's slander for a while, which will harm Zhongliang and make my great Wei unsuccessful. That's why I'm willing to risk the disapproval of the world and tell this matter."

What the queen said shocked everyone. What kind of thing would shake the foundation of the country and make the great Wei have no successors?Combined with her words, everyone felt a strange feeling in their hearts. Could it be that the empress is saying... The emperor wronged the second prince?

This is impossible!Everyone knows that in this battle for the reserve position, the ones who have the greatest chance of winning are Yu Ji, born to the empress, and Yu Zhi, born to Concubine Zhang Gui.If Yu Zhi is convicted, then nine out of ten the throne will belong to Yu Ji.At a critical juncture, who would be so stupid?

But there is such a stupid person, the queen's next words will simply reorganize the three views of everyone present, what a righteous way to kill relatives!

"I also ask you to learn from the sage, the real behind-the-scenes instigator of the Yuchang Palace arson case is Ji'er! He has always acted recklessly, and recently he heard the rumors outside, and he only believed that the sage was going to make his younger brother the crown prince, so he instigated Little Wu Zi set fire to the Yuchang Palace at night. But he didn’t expect his deeds to be revealed, so he resorted to tricks, simply pulled the second prince into the water, and forged some evidence to frame him. If the Holy One doesn’t believe it, there are still some in the Kunde Palace. "After the queen finished speaking, she collapsed on the ground and cried bitterly. It was obvious that she had exhausted all her strength in saying these words.

Tianhedi stood up abruptly, trembling all over, he didn't expect that she would dare to do this!

"Queen, do you know what you're talking about?" He clenched his teeth and forced these words out between his teeth.

The queen said: "The concubine knows it. How can the concubine feel pain in her heart when she says these words? But it is all because the concubine has no way to teach his son, which makes Ji'er commit various crimes again and again. Now he dares to set fire directly in the palace. If the concubine doesn't care anymore, maybe he will kill the king next time!"

Before Tian and the emperor could speak, she went on to say: "Although the concubine is a mother, in front of the country, the concubine is first and foremost the queen of Wei. How can a child as stubborn and sinister as Ji'er be a What about the sage monarch of Great Wei? The courtiers and concubines cannot ruin the century-old fortune of our Great Wei because of their own selfishness."

"Finally, the concubine implores the Holy One to spare Ji'er's life and demote him and the concubine to common people for the sake of no casualties in this matter!"

Such a selfless and loving mother, such a queen empress who put the fortune of the Wei Dynasty above everyone else, the officials looked at her with puzzlement and admiration, and felt that her character was precious, comparable to the mother of sages.

"I feel that the empress is innocent, and His Royal Highness King Qin should be responsible for one person! I implore His Majesty to demote His Royal Highness Qin King to a commoner!"

"I implore the Holy Majesty to demote His Royal Highness the King of Qin to a commoner!"

"..."

The sound of the mountains shouting like a tsunami sounded in the court, and no one raised the question that the case was in doubt and the king of Qin should be asked to go to the palace to defend himself.

In this era, in everyone's opinion, if a person is identified by his own mother, it must be because of the heinous crime he committed.No mother would wrong her own flesh and blood.

The persecuted Tianhedi fell down in a state of exclamation, and when his will gradually sank, he seemed to see a smile on the queen's lips.

……

When Yu Ji was taken into Dali Temple, he was listening to an opera in the palace.His clothes were disheveled, he was lazily leaning on the couch, and he was still eating the snack handed to him by the maid.

When he saw a group of guards breaking into his mansion, he was about to get angry, but he heard the leader say: "According to the Queen Mother's order, immediately arrest King Qin Yuji and lock him into Dali Temple to wait for the emperor to send him down."

"Wait, you dog slaves, the queen is the mother of the king, whose will you have passed on falsely? What about the father, the king wants to see the father!" He yelled and got up from the bed, but was caught in the next moment. The guard twisted his arm and pressed it on the couch.

He struggled even more violently, but he heard the man say coolly: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, please forgive me, the emperor has fainted from your anger, and now you can't see him."

"What happened to the father? What about the mother, I want to see the mother!"

The man sneered, and the mockery became more obvious.

"The empress is selfless. If you are personally recruited by the court, you are the one who set fire to the frame. Just advise you to confess your sin obediently, and don't make things difficult for the brothers."

After saying that, he took out the chain and locked his hand.The cold thing was stuck to his body, and Yu Ji shuddered from the cold. He suddenly realized that something was wrong!

……

In the palace, everyone was the same as before, all came from various places, and stood outside the Qianyuan Palace, waiting for the imperial physicians to treat Emperor Tianhe.

Concubine Zhang Gui and Yu Zhi stood in the outer hall, both looked a little dazed.Concubine Zhang Guifei couldn't react for a while because of too much information, but because Yu Zhi always boasted that he was smart, this time he really couldn't understand what the Empress Dowager did.

Why on earth did she stand up and identify Yu Ji?If it is said that it is because of some impartiality, it is impossible for him to believe it.However, there are various indications that the reason for his disbelief may be true.Because there is no other reason to explain it.

Thinking about it now, he seems to have never seen the empress clearly.In his memory, he would only go to Kunde Palace to thank him when he received a reward from the queen during the festival.The queen is not like his mother and concubine, she is loving and amiable to him and other brothers.He always believed that this was an illusion deliberately made by the empress.If he is in the position of queen, he must hate and poison them.

Could it be that he has always been a villain?Is the queen empress the real empress?

"...Zhier, Zhier, what are you thinking? Concubine Mother is talking to you!" Concubine Zhang Gui couldn't help pushing Yu Zhi slightly.

Yu Zhi came back to his senses, and immediately said apologetically, "I'm sorry, concubine mother, my boy just thought of something. What did you just say to my boy?"

Concubine Zhang was a little dissatisfied: "How can you be distracted at a time like this? I want you to beware of that woman, and be careful that she speaks ill of you next to your father."

After a pause, Yu Zhi said: "But today in the court, it is the empress who helped the child clear up the grievances. This..."

"She must have some kind of conspiracy!" Zhang Guifei looked disgusted, "As the saying goes, a tiger's poison does not eat its child. She can even betray her own son. If there is anything she can't do, I think she must have Conspiracy."

Yu Zhi suppressed certain thoughts in his heart, and obediently responded.Even if the empress had no ill intentions towards him, it would be impossible for her to think of everything for him like his mother and concubine.
