Tongtong could see the hairpin poking through it. They all looked over and saw it.
Emperor Wen Zhao knelt in front of the Queen Mother. He knelt for a long time, and the shock was too great. He looked a little dazed. The Queen was still a little far away. There were people who could save her subconsciously, and there were also people who thought they could save her but didn't want to. 1
Like the two old princes, like Han and Lin.
But no one expected that Liu Nande would be the one to take action. She pulled and pushed off Granny Qian's arm, pushed her back directly, and knocked her to the ground. The guards rushed over and pressed her down.
Aunt Qian lives here.
This is really unexpected!
Who is Liu Nande? She is the wife of Emperor Wu Zhao. The Queen Mother is the indirect murderer of Emperor Wu Zhao. She is the mother of Emperor Wu Zhao and the mother of Emperor Wen Zhao. If she is so obsessed with death, who can do anything to the Queen Mother?
But Liu Nande still raised his hand to save the Queen Mother. Why?
Lin Yutong felt that it was a pity. If Liu Nande was the queen, she would not be a qualified queen.
Why did you save the Queen Mother like this? Could it be that the Queen Mother was killed in front of the Holy Master with so many people watching? Loyalty, filial piety, justice, propriety, justice and shame, these eight words are not easy to achieve.
How important is the word filial piety? The royal family of Dachen cannot be criticized by the world.
What happened to the Queen Mother can be said behind closed doors, but in front of the civil and military officials of the court, one cannot watch the assassin killing his mother and remain indifferent.
The queen couldn't help but shed tears. How difficult is it for the younger siblings to be like this?
The Queen Mother was frightened and held Liu Nande's hand without letting go.
Lin Yutong looked away and looked at Aunt Qian who was being escorted over. This person cannot be interrogated here. She knows too many secrets and cannot lose the face of the royal family.
Including all the prisoners in the hall, they can be detained. Nothing can be found out if they are gathered together, so they can only be tried separately. In order to save their lives, and because they are not afraid of people knowing what they have confessed, they will naturally say anything.
It is enough to explain clearly the succession of the throne in the main hall.
Tongtong turned to look at Han Siyuan, who walked out and with a wave of his hand, he was taken away. He escorted the person back to the prison himself without asking for an order.
Han Maojie looked away from the two children and couldn't help but feel a little relieved. The children were taught very well in the palace. Just this kind of propriety is very valuable. It is enough to know what is appropriate for things to be done.
.
Emperor Wen Zhao stood up, staggered, and was supported by the queen. Then he turned around and looked at Han Zongdao and Lin Keyong, "These children were not parties to the incident, so you should go ahead! You go and deal with it.
Let’s go ahead. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Supervisory Office will participate in the joint trial!”
Take the order!
Tongtong knew that he could only participate here.
The courtiers had all dispersed, and Lin Keyong was busy with errands. Where was Tongtong going? She looked at the fourth master, who had stood in his place. Then where was she going? She could only stand back to her original position.
.
The door of the main hall was closed, leaving no one inside or outside except my own family.
The Queen Mother looked at the eldest princess. The eldest princess stood up and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother struggled to stand up and looked at the eldest princess, "Your father loves you, dotes on you, and never criticizes you too much, but what about you? What about you? How do you repay your father?" The eldest princess bowed her head.
On the ground, he kept shaking his head and crying: "I didn't mean it! I didn't mean it!"
Yes! If you didn’t mean it, are you not guilty?
But if the crime had to be punished, how could it be done? Wasn't it because she became the eldest princess that she became a target and had her whole life involved in it.
We ended the troubled times, saved people from pain, and saved the world from war, but what was the result? All the pain in the world seemed to be borne by me.
The Queen Mother covered her chest, but she still said word by word: "From now on, the Princess of the Circle will remain in the house and will not be allowed to leave the house for the rest of her life, and will not be pardoned!"
The eldest princess raised her head in shock, "Mother——"
The Queen Mother turned her back and didn't look at her. She just raised her hand and said, "Call someone to come and take her down!"
The eldest princess walked over on her knees and hugged the Queen Mother's legs, "Mother-mother-er, I will kill all the Zhao family right now--er, I will go and avenge my father--"
The Queen Mother broke away from the eldest princess, "It's too late! It's too late! Even if we kill all the Zhao family, will your father be alive? Besides, whose family are you? Aren't you the Zhao family? Kill them all and drive them away."
?”
The eldest princess burst into tears, came over and hugged Han Maojie's legs, then turned to look at Lin Chongwei, "Second and third uncles, help me! My mother is trapped!"
Han Maojie raised his hand and rubbed the eldest princess's head, just like she was the delicate and wild girl back then, "My child, be obedient and go to stay in the mansion! Live in peace in the mansion, avoid right and wrong, and live your life freely, okay?"
good?"
"I don't want it! Second uncle, I don't want it!" He cried and stretched out his hand to hook Lin Chongwei, "Third uncle, I don't want-"
Lin Chongwei scolded: "Stop crying! If you don't want it, what do you want? The emperor commits the same crime as the common people, don't you understand? Either go back home obediently and get what you want; or come with me
There are countless temples in the northwest, and there will always be a temple to house you! There will be no people there for three to five days after riding... Do you want to go?"
The eldest princess did not dare to cry anymore, but kept shaking the hem of Han Maojie's clothes.
Han Maojie whispered: "Go back home! From now on, live according to your inner preferences...except that you can't come out, everything else is up to you!"
The eldest princess looked at the three children and said, "I can't come out, what about the children?"
The Queen Mother scolded: "It was you who made the mistake, not the children! You should punish your mistakes. The children are not wrong, so of course there is no need to punish them." After saying that, she looked at the two princes, then at Emperor Wen Zhao, and then at
He waved to the younger generation and said, "Come here, everyone! Come here, the Ai family has something to say!"
Tongtong followed the prince and princess and knelt at the end.
The Queen Mother held Emperor Wen Zhao's hand and said, "Jimin——"
Jimin was Emperor Wen Zhao's name, but few people dare to call it that nowadays. Emperor Wen Zhao knelt in front of the Queen Mother, held her hand, and said, "Auntie, please tell me."
After the Queen Mother and the two princes looked at each other, she said: "I feel the same way as you about the evil of the family. I wish I could kill the nine clans to vent my resentment... But, my son, the Taizu did it back then.
He tried his best to change the law and implicated this law. Tai|zu felt that this was inhumane! Whoever's fault will bear the responsibility, and innocent people will not be killed. However, if there is an adulterer in the family, his or her third generation will not be allowed to be an official.
You are not allowed to join the army, this is also what Taizu left behind."
Emperor Wen Zhao wailed: "Aunt - aunt - I'm so panicked in my heart - I'm so panicked in my heart -"
The Queen Mother held Emperor Wen Zhao's hand and said, "Your uncle said back then that to be an emperor is to be restrained! Not only must you restrain your desires, but you must also restrain your emotions and emotions... Whether it is love or hate, you must restrain it.
If my son were an ordinary man, his anger would only cause the enemy's blood to splatter three feet. But my son is an emperor. When the emperor is angry, the heaven and earth shake. Therefore, I have to restrain myself more and more. Taizu said before his death, the world must not be chaotic. The world must not be chaotic.
Now, of course, there will be no chaos. Even if all the aristocratic families are slaughtered, the world will not be in chaos. So, does this mean that the world will be completely slaughtered? The world your uncle expected is not such a world. My son understands?
"
I understand! I understand!
Just understand! Just understand! The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at her three grandsons, "You have all heard this. I said this! I am not involved. The other members of the Zhao family are in the northwest and southwest.
They are just ordinary people. Except that they cannot leave the place at will, and their descendants cannot serve as civil servants in the army for three generations, they are no different from the local people. And your parents have sinned, so you are the same, and you are not allowed to serve in the court.
Take any official position."
Emperor Wen Zhao said: "Aunt, the three children are innocent! But firstly, they are uncle's bloodline; secondly, Duke Lao Zhu has made great contributions to the country, and his descendants cannot end up in ruins. Therefore, the Duke of Guang'an and Pinghou are given
, Deyi will not take back his earl title, will not participate in court affairs, and will not receive a salary from the court, but I will give Lao Zhu a sacrificial field for Duke Guo, which will be managed and managed by his descendants..."
Lin Yutong understood that giving them titles was to give them a purpose, so that no one could bully these three children. Not giving them a salary was also a punishment. It marked that they were different from other nobles! But what? They will do it in the future.
What to do? What to live on?
Emperor Wen Zhao rewarded Duke Lao Zhu for his merits and gave him a sacrificial field, which must be a huge property. As descendants, these two brothers will take care of this property, plus the eldest princess's mansion and other
After years of accumulation, it can be said that as long as they don't bother, the two brothers will be rich and worry-free in this life. Even the future generations can also be worry-free. After all, there is no need to pay taxes on the sacrificial field. As long as the business is good, the children can be raised.
The descendants are not a big problem.
The reason why the Queen Mother was punished was because Emperor Wen Zhao could not punish the descendants of Taizu, so the Queen Mother dealt with the things that were difficult for Emperor Wen Zhao to deal with.
Emperor Wen Zhao rewarded her, because no matter how good the Queen Mother was, she could not let go of her close relatives! But the Queen Mother, who was bent on pursuing justice, could not make arrangements for these children. Then Emperor Wen Zhao would have to take away the Queen Mother.
Don't worry, everything has been arranged.
Then the Queen Mother looked at the Queen Mother and said, "You are the birth mother of an emperor. No one can punish you except Aijia. But you are the birth mother of two emperors, how can I punish you?" She sighed, "You should become a monk! Nande
When you leave the palace, you go with her! She is going to practice, and you accompany her to practice. She is your daughter-in-law, serving by your side, and you are not feeling empty. Since you are a monk, you will not return to the palace in this life.
.When you are old in the future, you should not enter the royal mausoleum anymore, and be buried back home with your sister-in-law. At that time, your title of princess will be restored, and your sister-in-law will be the prince's consort, and you will not be granted the title!"
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen Mother in astonishment, "Sister-in-law!"
The Queen Mother looked at her: "Ji Shi is not only your son, but also the son of me and your brother!" But you took Ji Shi's life!
She didn't want to ask about anything else, so she sent him far away and never came out in this life, so as not to cause trouble for her children and grandchildren.
Liu Nande stood up and supported the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, let's go. I'm afraid the palace will have to be cleaned in the next few days, and you won't be able to live well in the palace. Come with me!"
The Queen Mother had to stand up and walked out with Liu Nande's support.
Tongtong heard Liu Nande speak gently to the Queen Mother, "It's cold, and my daughter-in-law is making cotton shoes for Ji Shi. It just so happens that you can help her to see if she is suitable. In the past, when I made Ji Shi, he said no mother could do it.
It's comfortable...but what's wrong with it, my daughter-in-law has no place to ask now...Yeah! He can't try it if it's comfortable or not! I don't know what to tell him...if he doesn't wear the right clothes when he gets there...
, what should I do? There are still clothes that should be made! He doesn't like to wear woolen clothes and hates the cumbersomeness. He walks back and forth every day and doesn't know what cold is. But when he gets there... I'm afraid it's cold.
That's great! People say that those who leave before their parents are all sinners. They will be punished at the other end! But you think, if he is punished, is he unjustly accused? How can he endure this if he has such a bad temper?
Such an injustice. Mother, when you come there, you must make it clear to others. He didn’t mean to leave his elders and leave first... It’s not that he doesn’t want to be filial... You have to make it clear to the King of Hell the whole story!
"
The Queen Mother's hands began to shake!
Liu Nande seemed not to feel anything and continued to help her move forward, "Mother, the mountain is very nice and clean. The house over there is prepared according to the look of our new house... By the way, the new house is your help.
Let's decorate it! Go and take a look. Is there anything different from the one you decorated back then? I always felt that something was missing...and I can't remember...that's right, we just spent a few good days together.
, I had time to see the new house, but he left so cruelly... He didn't leave me a word... This departure was quite sudden. You stay in our new house first, and I will make do with it on the couch! You
Give me a few days and ask me to decorate a room for you. Your preferences are quite complex, and the days I can serve you are short... Otherwise, I might as well decorate a room for you according to Ji Shi's preferences.
If you want to save the world, you can see those objects when you open your eyes! When eating, as soon as the bowl is in your hand, you will think, why is the color of the bowl so noisy? Who would eat with such an inconspicuous bowl?
When you drink water, you will think that if you don’t drink hot water all year round, your stomach and intestines will probably be made of iron. Looking outside, the trees are so high, and you don’t know if Jishi is taking a nap on another tree.
I went there, but I don’t know if he will answer if I call him. Sometimes if there is even the slightest noise, you will wonder if he didn’t go through the door and climbed over the wall and window to come back... Really, you will know it if you live there.
!As long as you keep it in your heart, Ji Shi will live forever."
It was time to get on the sedan chair. The Queen Mother watched the palace attendants lift the curtain and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Liu Nande smiled and said: "He has grown up and has become an emperor. He will no longer hide like he did when he was a child and then suddenly pop out to scare people. Come up, Ji Shi is not hiding inside."
The Queen Mother even breathed heavily, but she still sat on it.
Liu Nande discussed with her again, "There is a store on East Street with salted salted duck, which Ji Shi likes to eat very much. Let's buy more when we pass by. When we go back today, we will eat the salted salted duck with soy sauce. Eat half and hide the other half. Jishi may be greedy and come back in the evening.
I'm rummaging around looking for salted duck to eat."
Sure enough, the Queen Mother heard various noises mixed with the wind that night, as if someone was rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
The wind in the mountains was already very wild, howling like ghosts and wolves, and with this rustling sound, she couldn't close her eyes all night.
When I woke up early in the morning, I heard my daughter-in-law shouting outside: "Mother, please come out and see if Ji Shi came back last night..."
Before hearing the next words, the Queen Mother fainted.
Master Wang asked in a low voice: "Do you want to report it to the palace?"
"The palace is busy. I'm just sick. There is no need to mobilize so much troops." Liu Nande said to Zhenren Li, "Ji Shi likes to drink red date porridge. Go ahead and cook it yourself, and serve it to the Queen Mother when she wakes up."
Li Zhenren was very nimble and turned around and left.
Master Wang said: "Then I call Chou Gu to come and see the Queen Mother?"
Go! Tongtong and Fourth Master went to deliver something to the Queen Mother early in the morning as ordered by the Queen, but they didn’t know until they arrived at Mingcui Mountain that the Queen Mother had fainted.
Liu Nande was sitting on the edge of the bed doing needlework with a smile. When he saw the two of them, he waved them over and said, "When you get back, you don't need to worry about the Holy Emperor and the Queen. Everything is fine."
Tongtong's eyes fell on the needlework. The clothes made of coarse cloth were indeed men's clothes.
When the Queen Mother woke up, Immortal Li immediately brought out the porridge. Liu Nande held it with his own hands and called Immortal Wang, "Bring the sugar jar and put two spoons of sugar in it."
Red date porridge, with such a strong jujube flavor, does it also add sugar?
Liu Nande said while stirring: "...Ji Shi, he is such an old man, but he can't stop eating sweets. He always puts two spoons in every time, and he won't be happy if it's a little less. Please try it,
Is it the taste he likes?"
The Queen Mother ate it one bite at a time without opening her eyes.
Tongtong and Fourth Master slowly withdrew. Was it better to die then? Or was it better to suffer like this every day like now?
Liu Nande's voice could still be heard outside, "How can you do this? If I can't take care of you, how can I explain it to Ji Shi! You see, before he left, all he was thinking about was how to destroy the evidence and save people.
I know this involves your business... It shows that he is filial! If he is filial, I must be filial. I am afraid that he will blame me in the future!"
The two of them stood outside without saying anything, until the Queen Mother ate a large bowl of sweet red date porridge, and then Liu Nande came out.
What was delivered were all commonly used things, and the two real people went to arrange them.
Liu Nande then led the two of them around the women's temple, "You have also seen that this place is very good! There are people guarding the bottom of the mountain, and there are female guards living outside the women's temple, and wild animals cannot get close. The supply here is
It’s best, I’ve never been missing anything.”
Fourth Master nodded, it’s good! It’s warm in winter and cool in summer. As long as you can endure the loneliness, this place will be a paradise.
Liu Nande asked, "But is there anything else you want me to know?"
Tongtong said, "My father and second uncle interrogated Lu Dushi and Cui Wenzong last night... and that Aunt Qian. The main culprits were Lu Dushi and Cui Wenzong, who are the leaders of the Qiankun Society. As for that
Nanny Qian also confessed that there was an affair between the Queen Mother and Zhao Jing, and Nanny Qian was the insider! And Nanny Qian had a man outside the palace, who was the steward of the Duke's Mansion. He was the one who served after the death of the consort.
|Zhao Bing committed suicide by poisoning."
Liu Nande frowned, "I have an affair with Zhao Jing...but what does Zhao Jing get?"
Tongtong sighed, "The Queen Mother and Zhao Jing had a son. This was done secretly at the time. The Taizu and the Queen Mother were away at war, and the Duke of Lao Zhu wanted to procure food and grass. How could he care about the Queen Mother's house? The Queen Mother found out that she was pregnant.
Zhao Jing was afraid that the Taizu would know about it, and he was also afraid that the Duke would know about it, so the Queen Mother said that she wanted to pray for blessings. After Zhao Jing informed the old Duke, he escorted the Queen Mother to pray for blessings. The world was in chaos at that time, so he originally lived in a female temple.
But it was said that there was a group of rogue bandits in the mountains at that time, and they did not dare to stay in the mountains! The nearest place was a village of the Lu family, and they could only go to the village to hide from the bandits. The child was born in that village
!Because Lu Dushi is a close friend of the old Duke Zhu, Zhao Jing begged Lu Dushi and gave the child to the Lu family to raise..."
The Lu family? Which room in the Lu family?
Tongtong asked, "Do you know the name of Lu Qilang?"
I know! But my age doesn’t match up!
"It's Lu Qilang's father!" Tongtong explained: "Lu Qilang was born to his father when he was thirteen years old. At that time, the man was seriously ill. The Lu family was afraid that he would not be able to explain to him if he died, so they were overjoyed and married.
He had a wife and a wife, but... he lived very sickly. His wife was three years older, and she was indeed pregnant. She gave birth to a son, Lu Qilang."
Liu Nan Dexin said that when he was thirteen years old, he impregnated his wife and gave birth to a healthy boy. What are the chances of such a thing?
In front of the two children, she didn't say this. She only said that she understood it! Many things she didn't understand became clear.
But after the two children left, she asked Chou Gu, "If a thirteen-year-old son marries a sixteen-year-old girl, what is the probability that they will give birth to a healthy child at the end of the year?"
What do people say? If you marry your child early, you may get pregnant early and give birth to the child safely! However, the death rate is higher, which does not mean that you cannot survive.
Liu Nande nodded, that’s it!
She sneered and went to find the Queen Mother again, "Mother, you have never seen fighting before, it's time you saw it this time! People will die in fighting! The sword has no eyes, and you may die if you are injured. You are young
It doesn't matter if you have feelings for someone when you are young! Once you find the right person and ask to remarry, I think Taizu will be happy to prepare a dowry for you and send you off to get married. Let me tell you, the child
You don’t have to worry about leaving it in your parents’ house. Really, I’m afraid even Ji Shi would have said the same thing! You want to remarry, and no one can say you are wrong! But you and Zhao Jing... At that time, Zhao Jing was already married.
You have given birth to a child, what is going on with you? First, your brother and sister-in-law, your children are in the most dangerous place, you are not worried about them, but you are spending time with men, I dare to ask if you have your heart? Other
Second, how shameless are you to have a child with a married man?"
The Queen Mother faced the wall, tears flowing freely, and after a long time she said: "I can't be a sister-in-law, and I can't be a woman like you. I just want to have a family to rely on, and a man by my side to make me feel at ease... This is
Is it a heinous mistake? Yes! I believed in Zhao Jing... so I harmed Ji Shi! But if I knew that Zhao Jing had the intention to harm my son, how could I... Ever since I gave birth to that child, I dare not let anyone know
, Zhao Jing and I broke up...and that was all during the troubled times! That is to say, my son later became the emperor, so I seemed to be so evil. But if my brother had always been around, I would just be a princess!
What's wrong with the princess living as she pleases? I know you are torturing me! Torture me, I deserve it too!"
That night, Liu Nande was outside and the Queen Mother was inside.
In the middle of the night, Liu Nande heard the movement inside. She lay outside with her eyes open and did not move. It was not until a quarter of an hour later that she got up and went in. She saw the Queen Mother hanging on the beam and sat quietly for a cup of tea before raising her head.
His hand flicked the tea cup on the table to the ground, waking up the others.
The Queen Mother is dead!
How did Liu Nande die? This is what Liu Nande wrote in the note to the Holy Emperor: He asked the Lu family several times if he had any confession! He came to the Taoist temple and asked him privately no less than a hundred times. He really didn’t know what the Queen Mother was so afraid of that she committed suicide!
What can she be afraid of? It's just an illegitimate child due to an affair, and she has no face to live!
