Chapter 713 East Palace West Palace (5)
The assassination case is complicated and complicated, neither complicated nor complicated. The key is at a special time point. The long hair was just cut off by the Qing court, and the weather was withered in the morning and the situation was chaotic. The huge amount of wealth stored in the Heavenly Palace disappeared in full view of the public. It has to be said that the Hunan Army is really brave.
The Holy Ku system was the first economic system founded by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was the centralized storage of wealth, planned and used by the above. When the Taiping Army was in full swing, the Holy Ku system played a major positive role in ensuring the supply of troops, attracting poor peasants to participate in the revolution and ensuring military discipline. After the capital of Tianjing was established, Hong Yang and others included the economic life of the urban people in the supply scope of the Holy Ku.
After Hong Xiuquan established his capital in Tianjing, he was not enterprising and exposed his ugly face as he was in his bones as other emperors. He used the wealth of the Holy Cut to frame and repair the Heavenly King Palace, and squandered his wife with his extravagant desires. Although the people below were flirting with each other, they dared not speak out. After all, they were the son of the Heavenly Father and had the power. The most nonsense was that the people below were not allowed to marry, and they would be beheaded if they were discovered. This practice of only allowing state officials to set fire and not allowing the people to light lamps would eventually lead to destruction.
Shan He continued, "The handsome man begged to ask the Empress Dowager to let him go home, saying that he had lost his father since he was a child, his mother was widowed, and he relied on washing clothes for the people in the city to earn money, so he raised him. Maybe he was almost crazy these days and nights. In the past two months, two young men were lost in the village, and the villagers were scared away like a escape. The Empress Dowager said, "Sustain me well. If I am happy, I will send someone to send you back. Then I will teach the man to do this and this, even if he serves. From now on, they will be ugly and ugly. I don't want to say it anymore. Once they say it, it will taint my mouth and everyone's ears!"
When the prefect was heard, the prefect found out that he was teased. (When Zhang Wenxiang was tried in three courts, he was also talking nonsense. How many layers of the destruction of Empress Dowager Chongen's destruction were true or false, and he could only personally understand it. I was skeptical. Dan He was a very smart person, and you will know it if you read it.) The death row prisoner used the excuse to confess and publicly exposed the scandal of Empress Dowager Chongen in front of everyone in the court. As the prefect, he did not stop it in time and was not guilty. He was so angry that he scolded the death row prisoner for being killed by ten thousand times, and then slap two hundred hips. The clerks were beating hard and tired.
Shan He still shouted intermittently, "My confession is true. If the prefect does not believe it, you can take people to Chongen Palace to search now. The young man is hiding in the wall of the Queen Mother's bedroom. I saw the young man walk in with my own eyes."
After the two hundred years of fighting, Shanhe had already fainted and poured a few buckets of cold water before slowly awakening. He heard the prefect asking "Who is your accomplice? Where do they live?" Only he himself knew this question. After being arrested, he wanted to escape with his superb martial arts and light skills, but things went against his wishes. Now his legs have been broken, his eyes have bloody blood, and he can't see anything clearly, leaving only his last breath, and only two torture instruments listed were used. Kyoto area belongs to the heavy law district, and he always has to be executed by stealing money. What he committed should be executed by Lingchi.
As he thought about it, he fainted again. After a while, he was blown by cold water again. He thought why he should let himself suffer more? He should think of a way to stop him. Since ancient times, no one has died, and he has left the fragrance of heroic heroes. So he tried his best to shout that he would like to offer his accomplices, saying that there were Cai Jing, Yang Jian, and Song Qiaonian among his accomplices. If it weren't for their arrangement, how could he go to work in Yiluansi? How could he know that the young man was hiding in the wall of Empress Dowager Chongen? How could he know all the scandals of Song Gong's past and present? Then he shook off all the shameful things that the prefect was one by one.
In front of all the subordinates, the incident happened to He Pan. Of course, the prefect Song Gong could not bear it, so he shouted like crazy and used various torture instruments. It stopped until Dan He could not make a sound. Seeing that the death row prisoner had already died, his blood-red eyes were still staring at the prefect.
Shan He died, and the poor people who had been helped by him and the citizens who admired him were naturally heartbroken and shed tears in the dark. Citizens who love to keep busy did not see the scene of heroes looking at death, they felt that it was not exciting enough, so they waited for a long time in vain.
Shan He died, which made Yang Jian, Cai Jing and others extremely embarrassed. They originally wanted to make Shan He Qu a trick, or beat him to death and tamper with fake confessions, and then connect the male corpse case with Queen Wang, at least she could throw dirty water on her body, making her unable to wash away her for the rest of her life and could only roll off the queen's throne.
Now Song Qiaonian has messed up everything, and the worst thing is to publicly pronounce the verdict, so that the main clerks in Kaifeng Prefecture all know the ugly behavior and crimes of Empress Dowager Chongen, and they all know that they were in the same group as the Empress Dowager. Yang Jian and others called Song Qiaonian an old drunkard, an old money-loving person, and were not enough to defeat him! In order to save himself, they had to kill and silence him. Yang Jian sent the two soldiers of the Eunuch Zhang and the Imperial City Office to rush to Empress Dowager Chongen overnight to deal with the young people in the wall in time and make the palace
The housekeeper and the guards also committed suicide one by one. The next morning, people found that Eunuch Zhang and the two soldiers also committed suicide. Of course, Empress Dowager Chongen was the mother of the country and was difficult to deal with, so they had to cover up the scandal. Afterwards, Song Qiaonian summoned clerks and barons who participated in the trial and ordered them not to leak any words, and if there was any violation, they implicated the nine tribes! Prime Minister Cai was particularly angry. He fought in the officialdom for more than 30 years and was invincible. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by a craftsman this time.
Empress Dowager Chongen was originally the favorite concubine of Zhezong. She was smart and smart, well-versed in calligraphy and history, liked to interfere in the government affairs, tried to depose and depose Empress Yuanyou, and replaced her with herself. After the emperor ascended the throne, he was honored as Empress Dowager Chongen, and his kindness was very generous. It was rumored that she was not lonely in the palace, and her romantic affairs were spread during the Chongning period, which triggered a strange case of male corpse outside Nanxun Gate. The emperor originally wanted to demote him, but he was afraid of affecting the reputation of Zhezong and the royal family, so he could only cover it up. However, her lovely news has always been a joke.
Life in the palace is like acting in a zaju in a brothel. Similar plots often appear again, but this repetition is not a simple repetition, and the development and ending of the plot are often different. When Empress Dowager Chongen wanted to repeat the new drama behind the curtain, it was just an inflated personal wish. She lacked the power and means that Empress Wu and Zhang Xian had, and she would no longer have ministers and eunuchs to support her in the support of her when she was favored by Zhezong. Yang Jian was afraid of committing the crime of not reporting the truth, so he secretly reported to the emperor about Chongen's ambitions and conspiracy. The emperor praised his loyalty and said that Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng had also reported it.
On a dark and foggy day, the extremely rare and thrilling tragedy in the Song Dynasty palace was performed in Chong'en Palace. When Yang Jian came to Chong'en Palace with his "servant" personnel, he was turned away by the empress dowager and was in a dilemma. He had to force himself into the palace on the excuse of ordering. The empress dowager in the dynasty sat high in the palace, wearing a nine-dragon flower hairpin, a red brocade, a white jade pendant, and a gold ornamental shoes. He put all the ceremonial guards on his left and right. This posture was really unscrupulous. The empress dowager shouted sternly, "Who is so bold that he dares to break into my palace gate privately!"
Seeing this majesty, Yang Jian was still facing the empress dowager after all. The habit he had developed for a long time made his knees soft. "Putong" knelt down and kowtowed, and proclaimed, "I will be the servant who is obeying the emperor's decree, how dare I break into the palace gate privately!" After that, he plucked up his courage to submit a memorial, "I am the secret decree, please retreat!"
After the empress dowager ordered his order to retreat, Yang Jian took out an edict and read, "The Empress Dowager Liu, indulged in desires and lost virtue, could not be able to treat all nations; he spoke evil words and had a long time to be unjust. I was uneasy in sleeping and eating, and could not be defeated by my personal grace. I ordered Liu to immediately submit the treasure book that he had been enthroned as the queen and the empress dowager, and to abolish the Taoist palace."
Before he could finish his recitation, Chongen was furious and rebuked sternly, "I was named the queen by the late emperor, but the official family has no right to take it back! The late emperor's edict called me "I am beautiful in my heart and good in words and virtues. If it were not for this person, who could have established the queen?" When the official family was appointed as the queen, he also said, "I have received the teachings and have great achievements in making plans; dignified and kind, and can make the world follow the wind." Who doesn't know these golden words? You, a dog slave, have always done many evil deeds,
Notoriously, she dared to forge imperial edicts, insult the great mother of the country, confuse black and white, and whisper——” She was about to order the left and right people to take down this dog slave, but when she saw that she was the only one lonely woman in the hall, Yang Jian's wrinkled face, which looked like an old woman, had muscles twitching, and a pair of small eyes showed a fierce green gaze like an old wolf. Two strong eunuchs beside him were on standby and could pounce on him at any time.
The Empress Dowager, who had always been competitive, realized that the situation was dangerous, so she quickly turned around and fled into her bedroom. She was about to close the door, but it was too late. Yang Jian quickly followed up and forced her to the bed. He pointed to the curtain hook on the bed frame and said coldly, "The Empress Dowager is determined to rule the affairs behind the curtain, so please leave the curtain now!"
The Empress Dowager knew that death was coming, but after all, she was a strong woman, so she cursed, "You dog slave, used to collude with Cai Jing, and wanted to use me to depose Empress Wang, and now she used me to isolate Empress Zheng, and wanted to make a move when she was appointed as the crown prince. In the past, the Emperor used the title of Empress Dowager as a hook to let me support Ce Li. He claimed to be filial and kind, but bullied his sister-in-law and killed his brother. He was a beast in clothes!"
Yang Jian was not angry, but said coldly, "The Queen Mother's good life has come to an end. It's useless to shout anymore, and no one can hear it!" He directed the two eunuchs to force Chongen to hang on the curtain hook, then he raised his knife and flew away. The two eunuchs were stabbed to death, and blood sprayed like pillars, dyeing the Queen Mother's exquisite and luxurious bedroom bright red.
Empress Dowager Chongen died at the age of 35.
Another thing Yang Jian did was to help Zhao Ji find a woman. Since the death of the imperial concubine Liu Lianlian, Concubine An Liu was the most favored by the emperor. Concubine Liu was originally the daughter of a bartender in the capital. Yang Jian was quite surprised to find such a strange beauty in the street market, and was also very capable and understanding. Yang Jian took her into the palace to present her to the Empress Dowager Chongen. The Empress Dowager had no children and liked her very much after meeting her. Because she was of the same surname, she adopted her daughter, personally taught her to read, read, dress up, and teach her the skills of competing for favors and charm. She soon became as thoughtful as a fairy.
She was a beauty. After Empress Dowager Chongen committed suicide due to crime, she should have been sent to the Tailing Temple for life. When Yang Jian saw that she was a stunning beauty and was recommended by him, he asked her to temporarily live in the eunuch He Xin's house. At this time, the three concubines Wang, Qiao and Cui were all older and declining. Although there were six or seven thousand beauties in the harem, the emperor could not find the one he liked. When Yang Jian saw that the time was ripe, he took back the stunning beauty from He Xin's house. The emperor was overjoyed when he saw it. He didn't expect that there were such a beauty in the world who often kept her by his side and specialized in love. In a few years, she was promoted from talent to noble concubine.
Since the incident of the Empress Dowager Chongen, Cui Yue'e's jealous object is no longer Concubine Zheng and the Princess, but Qiao Wanrong and Wei Wanrong, who are threatening greater threats. Four years ago, she was actually involved. She once asked her confidant to go to Concubine Wang Shu to lobby with her confidant, saying that the queen had lost power and Concubine Zheng could not have children since that miscarriage. Among the princes, Gong Kai of Wei was the biggest, and she had a bright future. The conspirator's intention was to support Zhao Kai as bait in the future, and wanted to get rid of the two virtuous supporters arranged by the Empress Dowager Xiang to provoke their relationship, and even hoped that Concubine Wang could "reverse the enemy". But at that time, she was scolded by Concubine Wang, "The emperor was in full swing in the spring and autumn, and the queen was dignified and virtuous, and you jumped up and down, what was your intention?"
Afterwards, Concubine Cui was frightened, afraid of a catastrophe. But she was safe. This was because the emperor deliberately protected her, and because of the magnanimity of Queen Wang and others, she repays her grievances with kindness. Among the concubines, only Liu Lianlian could talk to her. This Suzhou girl was born in a humble family, her father made a living by fishing by Taihu Lake, and her mother was a local beauty, good at embroidery. She had bright eyes, just like the clear water of Taihu Lake, rippling waves; her long eyebrows were curved, just like the rain.
Dongting Spring Mountain. The beautiful water and scenery of the south of the Yangtze River made her fall into the snowy and ice skin, like the light moon and pear blossoms; and her gentle nature is as beautiful and soft as local silk. Whenever Cui Yue'e tells her the news in the palace, she smiles with a smile; if it is a short story, she advises her to accumulate virtue. Whenever she attacks Qiao and Wei two concubines, she says that in terms of age, they should be our sisters, so that the other party's verbal punishment has to be paused.
Once, the two concubines talked together, and the main topic was that Cui Yue'e asked each other for advice, "You don't usually have to be scheming, why did you win the favor of the emperor? You have two princes after giving birth to four children. Why is your life so good in the eight characters?" After that, she kissed the eighth prince Zhao Qi. The eighth prince was born to Concubine Liu and is three years old this year.
Concubine Liu usually treats people with sincerity and humbly says, "I don't know much about literacy, and I don't know what kind of scheming is. When I was at home, my father often said that contentment is always happy. A fisherman's daughter becomes the imperial concubine, can she not be content? I only know how to be grateful to the emperor and repay the kindness. He came to us for fun and seek warmth. I obeyed everything and never asked for anything by being favored. He just wanted him to have a happy time and play in a new Mingtang. As a result, the emperor often came uninvited! You gave birth to three children.
A princess, now she is anxious to think about a prince. Maybe she is too impatient and can’t think about it. In fact, there are already 6,000 beauties in the harem, and less than twenty of them have been awarded high positions. We are lucky people, so what else is there to be dissatisfied? What else is there to be unhappy? Why bother comparing with others? If you think about it, you will find it very interesting to live and easily get along with others. Gods and Bodhisattvas will bless you. Maybe you will get a prince in the future!”
Concubine Liu spoke sincerely and was very kind. Cui Yue'e was deeply moved after hearing this and knew that the other party was kind. But she did not want to accept this kind of advice of "contentment and happiness". She believed that a fisherman's daughter should be content to become a concubine. She was a descendant of an official, with a noble background, good singing and dancing, and a smart mind, so she should not be satisfied with her current status.
