Be a master through ancient times

The frightening day just passed.No matter whether they were inside or outside the palace, they could not fall asleep for a long time tonight.

Early the next morning, when it was still dark, the ministers gathered outside the palace gate, waiting to deal with yesterday's matter.Some of them had bruises on their hands, and some sprained their feet. Mr. Yu from the Ministry of Rites was the worst, he was pushed and knocked on his head, and wrapped in cloth several times, it looked like he was seriously injured.

But none of this can stop them from wanting to participate in politics.Yesterday, on the day of Concubine Zhang's burial, the empress and the second prince conspired to launch a palace coup. If they didn't come today for such a big event, they would regret it for life.And they also wanted to know, what happened to the reinforcements who came later?

After a while, the palace gate opened.Today is the Chang Dynasty in Japan, the servant on duty did not expect so many people outside, and was startled when he opened the door.

"We are all here to ask to see His Royal Highness, please pass it on to your father-in-law."

Those above the third rank went in, and those below the third rank stood outside the palace gate and waited for the pass.Obviously, the prince didn't sleep well after what happened yesterday, so they were quickly passed on.

Because there are too many people and there is not enough space in the Imperial Study Room, the Chang Dynasty this time was moved to the main hall.Yu Qiu sat on top, and after the ministers below saluted, he took the initiative to bring up what happened yesterday.

"Masters must have come here because of what happened yesterday, right? Gu didn't sleep well last night, and when he closed his eyes, he looked like those vicious rebels who killed people. Look at the adults, it should be the same, right?" Yu Qiu said with a look on his face. Burnout, said old-fashioned.He was really terrified yesterday, but also kind of excited because he beat a guy with his own hands yesterday.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly noticed that the old minister didn't close his eyes last night and was thinking about what happened yesterday. I didn't expect that the Empress Ji would really do something to confuse the royal family's blood, and then even collaborated with the second prince to tangle with people in an attempt to plot rebellion. Waiting for such a heinous crime, it is simply unacceptable, please His Highness the Crown Prince to deal with this matter in court, to set the record straight. Let the people of the world see the fate of those who conspire!" Zuo Xiang stood up and said earnestly.

The gangster died in front of him yesterday, bloody and bloody, and his eyes were still staring at him, which made him shudder when he thought about it.He is old, he only stayed up all night, and he looked very old. When he said these words, everyone felt the same.

"Seniors and others!" All the courtiers said together.

Yu Qiu looked at the rare and unified ministers below, and knew that what happened yesterday must be resolved.

He sighed, and said: "Since all the adults said so, then let's bring the queen, the second prince and the members of the Ji family here."

They were detained in the Kunde Palace yesterday, and there were heavy guards outside.Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for them to fall asleep. When they were brought up, all of them had dull eyes and a state of dull eyes, as if they were already disheartened.

As soon as the officials saw them, they immediately became excited. The people from the Ministry of Punishment went directly to the yamen yesterday and discussed their crimes all night before drafting their crimes.

"Queen Ji, who is proud of being favored and arrogant, has a lack of virtue, secretly replaced the son of the noble concubine, confused the royal blood, and caused a shocking scandal. Then indulged in selfish desires, entered into slander, messed up the harem, first murdered the noble concubine to death, and then formed a party for personal gain, intending to rebel Political affairs, all kinds of crimes, are really heinous. I also hope that His Royal Highness will first act on behalf of his father to abolish the empress, and use the official policy, and then according to the laws of the Great Wei, the abolished empress and the nine clans of the Ji family will be executed. The other participants will be punished with the same crime. As for the second prince , he followed the queen to rebel and rebelled. He committed a heinous crime, but he thought that he had the blood of the royal family and was suspected of being bewitched by others. Therefore, he asked His Royal Highness to issue an order on behalf of his father. .”

This crime is not considered severe, since ancient times the crime of treason has always ended like this.It's just that compared to the queen, the second prince's crime was obviously a little less serious. He was only exiled, but not executed.

The adults in the main criminal department thought he was justifiable.Firstly, the fact that he was transferred at birth was not what he wanted, and when he suddenly learned of this secret, he almost collapsed, so it was normal that he didn't stop the queen from killing the imperial concubine.Secondly, from the beginning to the end, he performed his filial piety before the imperial concubine's death. The planning of the whole thing was basically done by the empress and the Ji family, and he rarely participated.Thirdly, and most importantly, he has the blood of the Yu clan flowing through him.The Yu clan had few descendants, so unless he really committed the act of killing his father, he would not be guilty of death.

Yu Qiu looked at the queen and Yu Qiu under the court hall, unable to tell what it was like.He knew that what they did was unforgivable, but he still felt a little sad.

"My lords, do you all agree with Master Xun's statement?"

"The ministers have no objection, and please His Royal Highness make a decision early!" They listened carefully to each item here, and found that the sentencing of the Ministry of Punishment was very fair.

"You guys, is there anything else you want to say?" Yu Qiu pursed her lips, looking at the queen and Yu Zhi below with her big eyes.I heard from my husband that death row prisoners can make a request before they die, and as long as it is not too much, they can be fulfilled.In his heart, he still wanted this.

The second prince shook his head dejectedly, it was not easy to save his life, how could he dare to say anything?

The madness on the queen's face had gradually turned to normal after the matter failed and she was locked up overnight.There are many puzzles in her heart, and she wants someone to help her.

"When did you suspect me? You were prepared for what happened yesterday, and who revealed the news?"

Until now, she still refuses to admit that she made a mistake.She only thinks that she will be the winner and loser, and she will bear all the consequences naturally.

Seeing that she had no other requests, Yu Qiu thought about it and decided to satisfy her thirst for knowledge.

"When we entered the city that day, Uncle Ji was the guard at the city gate, and the master and the Taifu became suspicious. Then the elder brother testified that you were the murderer of the noble concubine, and revealed the secret, It made them feel suspicious of you even more. Also, they found the decree of the abolished empress in the royal father's bedroom..."

Yu Qiu didn't know about this at first. It was after the incident yesterday that the husband told him the whole story.

After listening to the queen, she gave a wry smile. Did she show her feet from the very beginning?In the final analysis, it is because the Ji family lacks background and cannot recruit more talents. Otherwise, she would not have no one available, so she could only send her own brother to come forward.And the imperial decree, she thought she knew everything about Tianhe Emperor, but unfortunately, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, even though she would check it when she came in and out, she was still discovered.

"What about the conspiracy? I don't think I have exposed any flaws. How do you know that I will do it on this day?"

Yu Qiu sighed, and said, "Father said it."

As soon as he said this, everyone was amazed. Could it be that the Holy Majesty has woken up?

The queen also cried out: "Impossible, if he wakes up, why doesn't he come forward in person?" Why bother to wait for her to deal with them?

"It is indeed what the father said. That day and night... after the Tai Tuo handed the things to the gentleman, he found out that it was a tiger charm. From this, the gentleman guessed that someone might want to initiate a palace change, and then sent people to pay close attention to each other. As for the movement of the city gate, when they were found gathered near the Ming Siling Mausoleum, Mr. Gu guessed that this might have something to do with the burial of Concubine Zhang."

Speaking of this, Yu Qiu's face was full of admiration. He felt that the husband was really smart, and he could deduce so many things with just a few clues.

The queen was stunned in place, no wonder they were able to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the capital camp without purpose, no wonder those people entered the palace without hindrance, and he handed over the tiger talisman!

"That day, what Zhang Fuhai said...is it true or not?"

Yu Qiu tilted her head in doubt, and it took a while to understand what she was talking about.

"My husband and Taifu said that the best way to make the person behind the scene jump over the wall is to let him know that the person who can expose his true face is about to wake up." I used it all the time.

The Empress laughed suddenly, with tears in her eyes, she smiled ironically and sadly: "It seems that I did not lose wrongly. From the beginning to the end, every move I made was in their calculations. It's just, what you said Who is the master?" Taifu must be Taifu Wen, but who is the gentleman who participated in it from the beginning to the end?

The ministers were also listening with their ears upright, and they were equally curious about the gentleman that His Royal Highness was talking about.Could it be that this is a man secretly assigned by the Holy Majesty?

Yu Qiu gave an "ah" in confusion, and recalled what he had just said, as if he hadn't revealed the identity of the husband.He remembered that the Grand Tutor said that the situation in the court is now clear, and there is no need to hide it from everyone.

So he said happily: "My husband, his name is Chu Ci, and now he is the co-prefect of the Department of Education."

This name sounded like a thunderbolt above the court hall.Chu Ci left a very deep impression on everyone in this treason incident.The ministers had an indescribable feeling towards him, and they didn't know whether to hate him or thank him.Because he changed his identity again and again, if he was not in good health, he might be mad at him.

The queen was just like them before, her eyes widened, her chest tightened, and she was almost fainting.

Chuci, Chuci again!Why is there him everywhere!Could it be that Yu Qiu has already regarded him as his teacher after just getting along with him for a few days?

No, the queen remembered what Yu Qiu said just now, they came to Beijing together!It turned out that the Holy Majesty traveled thousands of miles to send them to Nanfu Province.Presumably, before that, he had already begun to have doubts.

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, the queen was truly ashamed at this time.She originally thought that everything was under her control, but she didn't expect that from the beginning to the end, she was just a clown in the eyes of others.
