MTL - Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder To Marry-Chapter 75
Yin Ji once again said something that shocked the civil and military affairs of the court. Except for a very small number of people who may have guessed or knew the inside story, most people had an expression of disbelief. He didn't die in battle but was murdered to death.
There was also a lieutenant general of the third grade and a small group of soldiers who were all killed under the conspiracy.
It's unbelievable.
The generals have come out to ask Emperor Changde to give justice to Wei Su and others. The dignified general shouldn't die so confused, and those guards are so innocent.
Civil servants always pay attention to using their brains and playing tricks. The first thing they think about is who has the ability to dare to murder the second-rank general, and combined with the recent events, they already have some ideas in their minds.
The prince's party will not speak up. After all, the queen's position is stable, and it is the only way to help the prince ascend the throne. If the queen is in trouble, the prince is also in danger. What's more, the emperor intends to support the eldest prince to compete with the prince, so the queen is even more important. Nothing can happen.
And the neutral ones, or those who had a little friendship with Wei Su, all opened their mouths and asked Emperor Changde to investigate thoroughly. There must be an explanation for this matter.
Emperor Changde, who had been prepared for a long time, would naturally give an explanation, and after retiring from the court, he summoned the queen.
When the empress came to Xuanzheng Hall dressed up, Emperor Changde's eyes only fell on the empress for a moment and then quickly moved away. He didn't feel surprised, nor did he have the slightest emotion.
In the hall, apart from Emperor Changde, there were also the crown prince and several veteran courtiers, and Yin Ji, the investigator, was also there.
After the empress finished her ceremony, Emperor Changde gave her a seat and asked Yin Ji to repeat the murder of two generals, Wei Su and Su Yuan. How do you see it?"
The queen kept a dignified smile, "I think it's a pity to die. I heard that the corpses of these two generals are still at the border. Why don't the emperor order their coffins to be carried back to Shengjing and bury them generously so that the two generals can be buried at the border?" It shows the emperor's love for his loyal ministers and good generals."
"By the way, the concubine also heard that there is only one daughter left in the Su family. It is not easy for this woman to survive alone. The concubine thinks that the emperor might as well give the daughter of the Su family a marriage? The concubine thinks that Heng'er is That's right, although Pei Heng'er's status is a bit lower for Su's daughter, it is precisely because of this that she can show the emperor's deep love for General Su Yuan."
The queen expressed a lot of regret, not only finding a concubine for her son, but also arranged the affairs of Wei Su and Su Yuan, but she never mentioned what the death of Wei Su and Su Yuan had anything to do with her.
Emperor Changde stared at the queen for a while, "Queen, do you know how Wei Su died?"
The queen stood up and saluted, "The concubine is a member of the harem, how could she know how a general who was fighting at the border died?"
"Really? I know something, why don't you tell the queen." Emperor Changde raised his hand, and Qian Yongfu put a memorial in the hands of Emperor Changde.
Emperor Changde opened the memorial, looked at it and read, "It says that the empress has a deep-rooted affection for Wei Su, but Wei Su is a ignorant person who ignored the empress and went to the border to fight. Hate, in a fit of rage, he bribed Wei Su's lieutenant to let him get rid of Wei Su, queen, is there anything wrong?"
"Oh, it's not over yet. After Wei Su died, you ordered someone to kill the deputy general Su Yuan. Before you killed him, you learned that Su Yuan had sent a letter to the Su family. Everyone in the family, even Su Yuan's in-laws, the Lu family, were not spared."
"It's a pity that the Su family had a fatal accident, and they still hid the evidence that the queen bribed Su Yuan to kill him, so the queen sent people to chase and kill Su Qiao, Su Yuan's daughter. Su Qiao went from Jiangnan to Shengjing through hardships all the way. Hundreds of people from the He and Sulu families are seeking justice, but you, the queen, are afraid that Su Qiao will reveal the secret, so you ordered people to kill her, and even killed more than a dozen innocent people in vain."
Emperor Changde looked at the queen and asked, "Queen, what is written in this memorial is true. You really killed Zhongliang for your own selfishness, and even let people kill hundreds of members of the Sulu family?"
The queen's expression did not change at all, "Your Majesty, if the concubine says that there is not a single truth in it, is the emperor willing to trust the concubine?"
"Really, there is no truth at all?" Emperor Changde's tone was faintly menacing.
The queen remained calm, "Yes, my concubine thinks there is not a single truth."
Emperor Changde raised his hand and threw a book in front of the queen, "Then look at this again, you still dare not tell the truth, queen, you are so brave!"
The book was naturally "Records of Love and Enmity", and it just fell in front of the queen. After reading this book, the queen's composure was cracked. It couldn't be more clear, the queen bowed her head and remained silent.
Emperor Changde asked angrily, "Does the empress want me to call Mr. Cao and your married younger sister to confront you face to face?"
The queen knelt down, "Your majesty, there is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime. The concubine has never been engaged to Wei Su, let alone had an affair. It is even more impossible to kill Zhongliang because of love and hatred. The emperor does not want to believe it." A concubine?"
Emperor Changde said angrily: "You must be worthy of my trust, a majestic empress, who actually wants to seduce her courtiers in the harem of cholera, as an empress, she disobeys women and is so shameless, how can you let me trust you!"
Seeing that Emperor Changde scolded the queen in front of his courtiers, the prince couldn't accept it, so he immediately stood up and spoke up for the queen, "Father, you and your mother's young couple have been together for so many years, don't you understand who your mother is? I may have done something wrong to you, father, and please don't wrong mother and hurt your feelings because of a fabricated market storybook."
Emperor Changde's eyes fell on the crown prince. He didn't feel it before, but now he realized that the crown prince looked a little dazzling.
If Wei Su didn't know what to do, and really hooked up with the queen, it's hard to say whether the prince is his kind. But even if it didn't work out, as long as Emperor Changde thought of the Queen's idea of cuckolding him, he wouldn't like the prince anymore.
The prince still doesn't know that he has been implicated, and he is still begging Emperor Changde not to blame the queen.
"Shut up, I didn't let you speak, I will judge whether it is true or not, I will ask again, Queen, do you admit to this crime or not?"
When she came, the queen was already mentally prepared, thinking that Emperor Changde would care about her and Wei Su's almost engagement, and because of her reputation would be ruined, Emperor Changde followed the wishes of the people and wanted to abolish the empress.
But when she heard that Emperor Changde wanted to pin the death of Wei Su and Su on her head, the queen realized that she was wrong. Emperor Changde had no feelings for her, and he wanted her to die.
The queen laughed at herself, what a deep love between husband and wife is, but they are all lies. The relationship between husband and wife for more than twenty years can't compare with a storybook or a few rumors. What crime does the concubine plead guilty to, that she has an affair with Wei Su? Your Majesty, the concubine does not admit it, and the concubine has no affair with Wei Su, this statement is the evidence."
It only said that she had intentions, but she didn't succeed, and if she didn't succeed, she was naturally innocent.
"Presumptuous, you are still quibbling even now, empress, Wei Su is a hero of Da Yue, and he has made great contributions to Da Yue. You dare to kill him because of personal affection. What should you do?"
The queen laughed again, and now she just laughed out loud, "It turns out that I want to admit this crime, and the concubine doesn't admit it, because the concubine can bribe anyone around Wei Su to kill him, and she can never bribe Su Yuan. Doesn't the emperor know who Su Yuan belongs to?"
She wanted to kill Wei Su intentionally. Before Su Qiao, a girl from the Su family, appeared, even she herself thought that Wei Su died at the hands of someone she arranged.
And now, she knew, no.
The queen felt that it was a pity that Wei Su was not killed by someone she arranged.
Emperor Changde's face sank, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a killing intent. The queen met Emperor Changde's eyes without fear, and she knew that she had guessed right.
Su Yuan belongs to the emperor, and the emperor, her good husband really wanted to put the crime of killing Wei Su on her.
"Queen, the evidence is convincing. Don't try to quibble. I sent you here today to give an explanation to Zhongliang and the soldiers who died innocently. You not only killed Zhongliang, but also mobilized the imperial guards without authorization to beat people's lives. You are so cruel and merciless. As a queen, she is even more unworthy of being in charge of the mother of the six palaces. Listen up, my family, I am going to abolish the queen today!"
The people present were all important officials of the imperial court and the confidants of Emperor Changde. Since they were standing here, they had already guessed what Emperor Changde was going to do today, and they would not contradict Emperor Changde.
Only the prince hurriedly knelt down and begged Emperor Changde to think twice, but how could Emperor Changde listen, and even asked the prince if he didn't want to be crowned prince and accompany the queen together, the prince didn't dare to say anything.
Only the queen laughed, "The emperor is so anxious to deal with the concubine because he wants to silence the concubine, for fear that the concubine will say something that should not be said."
Emperor Changde looked at the queen coldly, "Why don't you tell the queen what you know, I'm listening."
There was a glint in Emperor Changde's eyes, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, if the queen dared to speak, he would bite her to death on the spot.
Emperor Changde also pointed out something, "Queen, you are not standing upright, and you have implicated the prince, so you still have to be stubborn and make mistakes again and again?"
The prince also subconsciously glanced at the queen, the queen was stunned for a moment, yes, she still has a son, as long as the prince is still the crown prince, she will be fine.
So what if she is deposed, as long as the crown prince ascends the throne, she will still be the queen mother.
As for Emperor Changde, the empress looked at Emperor Changde indifferently, with a little contempt, he was already a dead man, turned into a pile of bones.
The queen closed her eyes and remained silent for a while. When she opened her eyes again, she admitted her mistake, "The concubine is guilty. The concubine hated Wei Su because of love, so she bribed Su Yuan to kill Wei Su, and then killed Su Yuan to keep the secret." Yuan whole family. I know that I have committed a serious crime, and I am willing to ask myself to be abolished and cast into limbo!"
The prince hurriedly called the initials, but he didn't say much.
And Emperor Changde had a somewhat satisfied look on his face, and asked the few ministers present hypocritically. These people naturally followed his wishes, so Emperor Changde asked Qian Yongfu to draw up an order on the spot to abolish the empress and fight Into the cold palace, imprisoned for life.
Several ministers left after serving as witnesses, and the prince was also taken by the queen, no, it should be the deposed empress, named Cao Lan'er, Cao Lan'er kicked the prince out, and she wanted to talk to Emperor Changde alone for a while.
Cao Lan'er: "The emperor is really cruel."
"You have committed a heinous crime, and I have only abolished the empress, it is already kind..."
Cao Lan'er interrupted Emperor Changde before he finished speaking, "Your Majesty, there are only you and my husband left now. We all know the truth very well, so there is no need to pretend."
"The concubine really wants the ignorant people outside to see what kind of person the emperor they respect and adore is actually like. They are afraid of the great achievements of the Wei family, so they simply kill the father and want to poison the son. , Completely wiped out the Wei family. Now that the incident is about to happen, it will all be pushed on a woman, the emperor is worthy of being the emperor."
Emperor Changde stared at Cao Lan'er in extreme displeasure, "Don't dare! Mrs. Cao, you'd better keep your mouth shut, otherwise I have a way to make you shut up forever. Don't forget what Lenggong is, Lenggong You know more than me how many people have died, many of them were sent in by you, so you are not afraid that their innocent souls will come to you and ask for your life after living in it."
Cao Lan'er directly clarified the matter and said that this made Emperor Changde very dissatisfied, and she knew too much.
Cao Lan'er was not afraid of Emperor Changde's threat at all, "But it is also due to your contribution, the emperor. If it weren't for your order, how could those people be in the cold palace and die."
"The concubine is not afraid of some wronged soul taking her life. If she really wants to, the emperor will go to **** with the concubine. There is a companion on the road to the underworld. Maybe the concubine will be able to be husband and wife with the emperor in the next life. The concubine is looking forward to it."
But Emperor Changde didn't want to, he scolded angrily, "Bitch, you have no shame, why did I blindly designate you as queen back then."
"The emperor didn't say all that, because you are blind," Cao Lan'er was not afraid of Emperor Changde at all, and her words were full of hostility.
Emperor Changde made her angry, "Get out, get out of here and go to the cold palace right now, and don't appear in front of me again in this life, I don't want to see you again."
Anger caused Cao Lan'er to giggle, "I have never seen the emperor so restless, it seems that I have done too many bad things, and I am always afraid."
Emperor Changde narrowed his eyes, and suddenly took two steps forward and pinched Cao Lan'er's neck, "I'm warning you for the last time, keep your mouth shut, otherwise I will kill you, the prince and the Cao family won't stay."
Cao Lan'er pushed away Emperor Changde's hand, adjusted her clothes, and leaned slightly, "The concubine obeys the order."
She walked out slowly, still with that motherly attitude, which made Emperor Changde feel even more glaring.
When she reached the door, Cao Lan'er fell back again, and said softly, "Your Majesty, my concubine also left a word for the emperor. If my concubine dies suddenly in the cold palace one day, something will happen. Your majesty, you understand the concubine's meaning." Bar?"
"The concubine thinks she has more means than Su Yuan and his daughter."
After Cao Laner said this, she really left. After she went out, she heard the sound of the teacup falling to the ground. She knew that she would not die in the cold palace. Cao Laner smiled and was very happy in her heart.
The prince has been waiting outside the Xuanzheng Hall. The decree of the abolished empress has been issued. Cao Lan'er does not have to go back to Changning Palace, but directly enters the Leng Palace. She said to the prince, "Accompany the mother and walk away. The mother will not see you outside the Leng Palace for a long time." It's a pity that the scenery is gone."
The prince hadn't seen the queen since he finished reading the book "Records of Love and Enmity of the Empress", but he didn't expect that the goodbye would be the time to abolish the empress.
The prince still couldn't accept that his mother's queen had a relationship with Wei Su, and every time he heard his mother mentioning Wei Su and Wei's family, he always hated it.
The prince didn't speak, so Cao Lan'er said to herself, "Actually, the empress also regretted it. Although Wei Su doesn't know how to change things and doesn't have eyes, he is a good husband. I saw your father one after another. When my concubine entered the East Palace, I thought that it would be great if he only married one wife like Wei Su."
"Unfortunately, Wei Su is not the prince, and your father is not Wei Su. This is the queen mother's regret. But this regret is nothing compared to being a queen who is under one person and above ten thousand."
"So, later on, the queen mother just wanted to win over Wei Su, but he didn't know how to praise and refused to stand by the queen mother to help you, so the queen mother had no choice but to get rid of him, so that he would not stand by the other princes in the future, blocking him. out of my son's way."
"My son, remember, Wei Su, Su Yuan, and the Su family were not killed by me. One day the truth will be revealed. The queen mother is waiting for you to pick me up."
"Oh, by the way, remember to match up that **** Yue Heng and Su Qiao more often. A sick **** and a prostitute living in a brothel are a perfect match."
The Leng Palace was right in front of her eyes, and Cao Lan'er walked in step by step, she was full of luxury and manners, as if she was not entering the Leng Palace, but still the Changning Palace where only queens are eligible to live.
The prince watched her back for a long time, and there were many things he couldn't understand.
For example, Wei Su was not killed by his mother, so who really killed him?
Is it his father whom everyone praises? The queen mother hinted again and again, and the prince had an answer in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.
For another example, the empress mother ambitiously said that she wanted to get rid of the Wei family and the eldest prince, but now a Zhou family who had no influence on the Wei family died, but his mother was deposed and moved into the cold palace.
This Wei family really has such great ability, can't even beat the dignified queen?
The prince felt that the Wei family was like a hurdle, whether it was him, his mother, or the emperor, everyone was going over this cut, if they crossed it, it would be done, if they couldn't get over it, they would be trampled to death by the Wei family.
But he didn't want to die, so he could only let the Wei family disappear.
The prince felt that it didn't matter whether the truth was revealed or not. As long as Wei Yunzhao died, who in the world would investigate how one or two dead people died.
The prince moved his lips, and after a while he made a sound, and said to the **** beside him, "Let's go back to the East Palace."
The prince walked very fast, with strides, and the **** followed behind, always feeling that the prince looked a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different.
…
The news of the empress' deposed soon spread to the palace, and the common people felt joyfully that the emperor had heard their appeal, and they adored and loved Emperor Changde a little more.
The Wei family also received the news, and everything was expected, without any surprise.
Jiang Lin pushed Wei Yunzhao out to see Su Qiao, and they called Chu Ba back to see if they could heal Su Qiao's hands and feet.
After the cold, midsummer ushered in, the scorching sun was in the sky, as if it was going to dry out the whole land, Jiang Lin looked up at the sky, "The sky is going to change."
