Prince Han Sien

Chapter 103

The emperor felt uncomfortable being stared at by the empress dowager's contemptuous eyes. He really liked Wang Ying.

When he saw Wang Ying for the first time back then, the man was standing under a peach grove, the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows was glistening red, he looked up at the peach blossoms falling in front of him slightly, his eyes were cold.

At that time, the emperor's heart was beating very fast, and he thought it would be great if this person was his own.At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne as emperor, and he had a first wife and concubine.

The emperor was born in the harem, it's not that he has never seen those unfavorable concubines in the harem, who have no children, guard the lonely and cold palace, and live a life of loneliness and despair.

But the emperor felt that he was different from the former emperor. He felt that he was already the emperor, and that he could rule the world, so he could naturally protect the people he liked for the rest of his life.

The emperor did not directly issue an edict to let Wang Ying enter the palace. He actually did some stupid things for Wang Ying.For example, he sneaked out of the palace and climbed the walls of the Hou's mansion to see what the man was doing, and he also wrote some sour poems, which were secretly given to Wang Ying.

He was also chased and bitten by a dog because he accidentally fell to the ground. Wang Ying stood there, seeing his distressed appearance, and suddenly smiled, with curved eyebrows and eyes, exquisite and unparalleled.The emperor looked at it stupidly at that time, and he didn't care about the ingot that helped him block the dog.He half fell to the ground and looked at Wang Ying, thinking foolishly, it was all worth it to win a smile from a beauty.

The emperor knew that before Wang Ying entered the palace, he hesitated. After all, his identity was an emperor, not an ordinary person.But in the end Wang Ying entered the palace willingly.

At that time, he was already a little dissatisfied with the empress dowager's control of the government. If the emperor's edict was promulgated, if the empress dowager thought it was not good, he would directly reject it, and there were not many people in the court who listened to his golden words.

At that time, the emperor cared about the empress dowager's suffering for him, and suppressed all kinds of dissatisfaction in his heart.But there is a limit to everything, and the other people in the harem don't understand the restlessness in his heart at all.

Wang Ying is a person who can consider things from his standpoint. Wang Ying thinks that a king should put the world first and then his relatives.Even if the empress dowager has great kindness to the emperor, the emperor should have absolute say in terms of power.

The emperor now thinks that perhaps it is Wang Ying's concept that has harmed him.If he was a courtier, he would have the qualifications to say this, but he is a concubine in the harem, saying this will only make the Queen Mother hate him even more.

To some extent, the queen mother transferred a large part of her anger from the emperor to Wang Ying.

The emperor at that time felt very embarrassed about how to deal with these matters. In his eyes, the queen mother was after all his mother who survived the suffering.Because of his alienation, the Empress Dowager had talked with her several times, but it was simply that the Empress Dowager felt that he was soft-hearted, and the court could not hold back.

The emperor was very embarrassed by this, but Wang Ying didn't make him feel sad about it. The embarrassment of the empress dowager was completely insignificant to Wang Ying.

Thinking of this, the emperor twitched the corners of his mouth. Now that he thought about it, he really felt sorry for Wang Ying.

In fact, Wang Ying can be regarded as a very simple person at certain times.The Wang family cultivated him, not treating him as a married couple, but only focusing on the back house, but they were not as strict as training a man, so his thoughts were often very straightforward.

The emperor felt that the Empress Dowager was right in saying that people like Wang Ying should not enter the palace.He is the emperor, he loves Wang Ying very much in his heart, and is willing to give him the best of himself, but in fact, he can't do it at all.

When the two of them had a grudge, he had overheard several times that some palace people talked in private about the presence of a foreigner in Wang Ying's palace.Although those words are cryptic, anyone with a heart can hear them naturally.

The emperor also had doubts in his heart. At that time, he even imagined how he would deal with this man if there was really a foreigner in Wang Ying's palace.

People's hearts may be the least doubtful thing, especially at that time when Wang Ying faced so much oppression.He doesn't trust himself, it's true that he didn't fulfill his promise, and took good care of him in the palace.

The Queen Mother was right, she was indeed responsible for a large part of Wang Ying's death.

But even so, is there nothing wrong with the Queen Mother?The emperor looked at the queen mother coldly and thought, even if there was a problem between himself and Wang Ying, it should be between the two of them, and they should solve it by themselves, and she shouldn't use those methods to force Wang Ying.

The emperor is indeed easy to soften his heart, but after all, since Wang Ying passed away, he has the final say in this court, so there is still a bit of blood for the emperor.

His gaze was cold, and the warmth between mother and child in the past disappeared at this moment. The queen mother was slightly taken aback by the emperor's gaze, but then she regained her composure.

The emperor looked at all the parties kneeling on the ground, and finally his eyes stayed on Bai En. The emperor's eyes were full of disgust. Just as the emperor was about to pronounce Bai En's death sentence, the queen mother said in a calm voice: "Emperor, Ai's family is doing these things. For the sake of Bai En, but now Aijia has opened up everything to you, haven't you thought about why?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

The empress dowager's face didn't even change, she said lightly: "Naturally, the Ai family is sure, even if you know the truth, you won't...will act recklessly." What the empress dowager actually wanted to say was not to dare to make reckless moves, but As soon as the words came to his lips, the word dare was replaced by random words.

The emperor frowned, he couldn't figure out what else in the hands of the queen mother at this time would allow him to let people like Bai En go.

There was some determination in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she asked flatly: "Emperor, Ai's family has been unwell for these years, and they voluntarily closed the palace to themselves. After death, it is not as good as the imperial mausoleum, how about it?"

Of course, the Queen Mother said this on the premise that the emperor let Bai En go.

The emperor was so puzzled that he was laughed angrily. He really didn't know what tricks the queen mother had in her hands, and dared to let him let Bai En go if she didn't show it.

At this time, Han Si'en who was standing below spoke, his eyes were cold, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty, I have some guesses about what the Queen Mother said, and I don't know if I should say it or not."

The emperor looked at Han Sien, probably thinking of Wang Ying, and seeing a pair of eyes very similar to Wang Ying, the emperor's mood was very complicated, and then he said: "Yes." Everything is caused by Han Sien He came out, but if there was no Han Si'en, he would be kept in the dark, and he might be ashamed to see his ancestors after his death.

Han Si'en was silent for a rare moment, and he said: "Your Majesty, it might be a bit abrupt to say this, I beg the Emperor to allow Bai Wenhan and Baishu to serve outside the hall."

The emperor was taken aback by his request, Han Sien obviously wanted Bai Wenhan and Bai Shu to avoid this matter.

The Queen Mother frowned, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.

Seeing Bai Wenhan and Bai Shu now, the emperor felt very much in harmony with each other, so he let them leave the hall.Bai Wenhan and Bai Shu were kneeling outside the palace gate, and they glanced at each other.

Bai Wenhan was in a daze all the time, he was thinking, what would Han Sien say in it?What will happen to those who hear it?

Bai Shu frowned fiercely, he was thinking about what Han Sien said to repay his life-saving grace, what would Han Sien do?Fortunately, Baishu's martial arts are strong enough, even if he is outside the hall, he can still hear the conversations of the people inside.

@@

After the palace door was closed again, Han Si'en raised his hand and looked straight at the queen mother, and said coldly: "Weichen thinks that the queen mother knew about Bai En from the very beginning. Escape to death. Fornication in the harem is the first serious crime. When the queen mother recalled the past, she did not hide that she wanted the emperor to misunderstand Bai En's life experience. This is confusing the royal blood and is the second serious crime. The queen mother mentioned the death of the imperial concubine , without any scruples, forcing a concubine to commit suicide is the third most serious crime. But the empress dowager has no scruples, and believes that the emperor will let the Bai family go because of what you have. After much deliberation, there is only one thing, the queen mother I'm afraid the empress is planning to die together."

Speaking of this, a cold smile appeared on Han Si'en's face, and he said: "When I guessed the Queen Mother's idea in my heart, I was very puzzled. In terms of blood relationship, Bai En is your son, and so is the emperor... ...Does the empress dowager still want me to continue to speculate?"

The Empress Dowager firmly grasped the front of the chair, she pursed her lips, her eyes widened.

The emperor said coldly: "Speak, I want to hear, what does the Queen Mother want to do with me?"

Risking the risk of being scolded by the emperor, Han Sien waited silently for the queen mother for half a stick of incense, but the queen mother just looked at him with her lips pursed.

Han Sien sighed slightly, saluted the emperor, and said word by word: "I believe that the only trump card in the hands of the empress dowager that can blackmail the emperor is nothing more than slandering the emperor's blood."

"What did you say?" The emperor was furious, he stood up abruptly, feeling his head was on fire.The blood is impure, doesn't it mean that he is not the son of the first emperor and shouldn't sit on the throne?

If outsiders heard this, they would immediately be afraid that some members of the royal family would stand up and use various reasons to investigate his blood.

The emperor looked at the queen mother and murmured: "Are you really trying to threaten me with such a strategy?" He might want to ask whether his blood is really impure, but he didn't dare, and in the end he could only ask these questions.

The other people in the palace were so shocked by Han Sien's words that they couldn't speak. Ji Luo, who was the only one who could keep a clear head, thought with some relief that Han Sien had at least let the two brothers of the Bai family leave. Otherwise, after hearing this terrible news, the two of them, who are members of the Bai family, might not be able to survive.

Of course, those who have not left this palace, probably few will be able to walk out of this palace gate.

"Wei Chen thinks that the queen mother is probably ready to die. She is your biological mother. As long as she speaks out, it will be difficult to stop the mouths of the world. If the blood is not pure, the throne will be endangered. There is no way out. Now, this is the worst move to threaten your majesty." Han Sien said calmly about his so-called conjecture, "The empress dowager has probably made some preparations, such as writing a letter in advance and putting it in the hands of a trustworthy person. , if Bai En is killed, this letter will be taken out to talk about something. At that time, the city will be full of wind and rain, the position of the emperor will be unstable, and the world will probably be in chaos. "

Having said that, Han Sien frowned, and he raised his head to look at the queen mother: "I think too much, and another question arises in my heart, it is still about the imperial concubine. Before the imperial concubine committed suicide, did you You have also mentioned this matter to the imperial concubine, so that he can't and dare not talk about your personal relationship with the emperor?"

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and did not answer, her face was a little depressed.Han Si'en never thought of asking her to answer, these were just his guesses, he was just a person who raised his inner doubts, as for the answers to these questions, they were always deep in his heart.

Even if it is temporarily suppressed in the deepest part, it will always be used again when it is the most proud or the most frustrated, and those past events hidden in the heart will be remembered inadvertently.

Except for the one who can read minds, no one else in this world knows.

It's like the queen mother back then, after her affair was broken and she was pregnant with a child, in panic and confusion, when she touched her stomach one day, a spiritual barrier flashed in her mind, and there was a way to make people shut up after seeing this. Mouth tricks.

She said indifferently to the person whom she was persecuting tightly: "Even if you tell the emperor, the Ai family is not afraid. When the emperor wants to dispose of the Ai family, the Ai family can also say that the emperor is not of the blood of the former emperor. The Ai family is a big deal." One death, but at that time the emperor may not even care about himself, let alone you who broke all this."

No one knows if the queen mother dares to say that, but some people know that the queen mother has an affair and she can't speak about it.The world is unstable and the situation is turbulent. Not everyone can bear the crime.

Then he was suspected, and even more desperate amidst disappointment.

@@

The emperor pursed his mouth similar to that of the queen mother, and he looked at the queen mother, wanting her to give him a clear explanation.He thought, if Wang Ying had heard this statement back then, would it have become his heart disease.

If the Empress Dowager had said this to herself back then, would she have been so frightened that she would have angered Wang Ying?

The queen mother opened her eyes and sighed deeply. She looked at Han Si'en and said, "Han Shizi is indeed different from ordinary people. The Ai family indeed... forged such a statement and put it outside the palace. But the Ai family I wanted to explain it to the emperor in private, but I didn't expect to be told by Han Shizi like this."

She didn't say whether she told Wang Ying about it back then, but it didn't matter.As long as there is doubt, a caring person will naturally look for signs to find the vague answer of memory.

After hearing the words of forged statements, the emperor's taut heart was at ease, but more anger followed immediately.

Now the emperor suddenly thought, maybe his blood is really impure, not because of his father, but because the queen mother is not her mother at all, otherwise she would have come up with such extremely vicious thoughts.

The Empress Dowager did not forget to pour dirty water on Han Sien's head at the end of the matter, but Han Sien was not afraid of a toothless tiger.

He lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, with a calm tone, and said: "I naturally believe that the emperor is of the orthodox blood of the royal family, but I have no other advantages, except that I have too many things in my mind and I always want to make it clear. I also can't see someone acting like a monster, thinking that he can play with everyone in the applause, and everything must go according to his own ideas."

At this moment, Han Si'en suddenly became interested in his previous life or the events of his previous life. He wanted to know if the queen mother finally succeeded in those two lives.

But this thought is just a flash, now is not the time to think about it.

The empress dowager clearly stated that there is such a thing outside the palace, and it is still the emperor's army. The emperor's attitude is related to the development of the situation.I agreed, and I ate half a fly. Whenever I think about it, I feel very sick in my heart.

If you disagree, in case things get leaked out, it will be a matter of shaking the country.It is also impossible for the emperor to torture the queen mother to extract a confession. There are too many people in the palace, and the eyes are too mixed. If word spreads, the emperor's throne will still not be stable.

Faced with this situation, the emperor was very angry.

Everyone kneeling on the ground knows that everything that everyone in this hall heard today is a secret.Especially the last matter about the emperor's bloodline, even if the queen mother denied it, the emperor would think of that illusory thing when he saw them, and his heart would be a knot.

Han Si'en didn't intend to participate in this matter anymore, he intercepted the source of the empress dowager's private threat to the emperor, and he did everything he could, so now he just wants to go back and have a good sleep.

Han Si'en knelt on the ground, his tone was a little low, and he seemed very respectful: "Your Majesty, if you say this matter is big, it is a state matter, and if you say it is small, it is just your family business. My minister is drunk today, and what he said is all nonsense. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

The Empress Dowager had an affair with Bai Jun, and even gave birth to a son. This is related to the face of the royal family, and it can only be a secret. These charges cannot be used to convict Bai Jun.

Therefore, Han Si'en, who broke all this, was originally the greatest contributor, but he could not receive the credit, and now he took the initiative to plead guilty, saying that this huge matter was the emperor's family affair.

How to deal with it is the emperor's business.

The emperor knew that Han Si'en was always sensible, so he was quite satisfied with his approach.The emperor didn't like the people in the hall today, but Han Sien's eyes played a role. At least the emperor didn't think about punishing him immediately, so he said, "Since you are drunk, go back to the bar and wake up."

Han Sien knelt on the ground without moving, his back was straight, the emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

After a long time, Han Si'en raised his head, his tone lowered, and he said, "Your Majesty, the Tianmen Pass in Xijiang is located in an icy cold place, and it has always been difficult to defend. After Jingguo was ordered to return to Beijing, there is a shortage of generals here. Bai Wenhan With his younger brother Bai Shujun, he was disrespectful in front of him, and I asked the emperor to decree Bai Wenhan to be demoted to the position of general, and ordered him and his younger brother Bai Shu to go to the Tianmen Gate in the western border to guard the border."

After hearing this, Ji Luo knew that Han Sien was doing this for the good of Bai Wenhan and Bai Shu, but he was a little anxious because he was afraid that the emperor would disagree, but he didn't dare to show it at this moment.

The emperor looked at Han Si'en with an inexplicable expression, and was instinctively angry in his heart.What Bai Jun committed was a capital crime, even if he was divided into five horses, it would not be enough to vent the emperor's hatred, the Bai family would definitely be liquidated.

Although Bai Wenhan and Bai Shu have an indifferent relationship with the Bai family, they are Bai Jun's biological sons after all.

Thinking of Bai Jun's blood flowing on them, the emperor couldn't help but have the desire to kill.

Now Han Sien's words undoubtedly made the emperor let Bai Wenhan and Bai Shu go.

The emperor was very annoyed at Han Sien's request, but when he saw his eyes, the emperor always felt that it was Wang Ying who was kneeling on the ground begging himself, and a trace of guilt arose in his heart.

The emperor closed his eyes, thinking that Han Si'en was also one of Wang Ying's closest people, so he said coldly: "It's really unfilial to write a decree, and Bai Wenhan ignores the elders. If you stick to thirty, stop Bai Wenhan." As a general, from now on, he will go to the Tianmen gate in the western border to guard the gate with his younger brother Baishu in white clothes. Without an edict, he is not allowed to enter Beijing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Sien said respectfully.

The emperor waved him away, and Han Si'en was the only one who walked from the hall.When he pushed the door out, he saw Bai Shu and Bai Wenhan kneeling on the ground.

Bai Shu looked straight at him with a complicated expression.

Han Si'en walked away from them without looking sideways, his clothes slipped past Bai Shu's hands, Bai Shu instinctively wanted to reach out to grab something, but he didn't grab anything, Bai Shu's face was a little dazed.

Han Sien walked straight out of the palace. He walked slowly, but behind him, not long after, there was the muffled sound of a stick falling on his body.

Bai Shu held onto the thirty sticks, but kept looking back at Han Sien's back.Until, Han Sien walked out of the gate of the inner palace.

I don't know if it's because the stick hurts too much, or something else, but Bai Shu feels his heart hurts badly.

@@

When Han Sien came out from the palace, many civil and military officials were the first to get the news, and many people were guessing what happened in the palace.

As soon as Han Si'en returned to the Duke's Mansion, the emperor's holy wishes were delivered quickly.

First, Shifu privately mined gold mines to secretly support the second prince Ji Rong as emperor. Due to conclusive evidence, Imperial Concubine Shi in the palace was deprived of her title and relegated to the cold palace.

Master Shihou was carried out from the palace, and it is said that when he came out, he was almost dying.

The second is the collusion between the Bai family and the Shi family in an attempt to support the second prince as the crown prince. This is a serious crime.

Then the second prince Ji Rong was imprisoned, and he was ordered not to leave the mansion for life, and the third prince Ji Luo guarded the imperial tomb for half a year.

Among these imperial decrees, the news of Bai Wenhan and Bai Shu's departure from Beijing seems to be the most inconspicuous.

No one knew what happened in the palace, how it was fine when they entered, and basically ruined when people came out.Those who quietly inquired about the news in the palace only heard that the Empress Dowager stayed behind closed doors, and that the most favored beauty around the emperor suddenly died suddenly.

Those who are interested secretly ponder the words of the imperial decree, the Shi family's crimes are not a problem, but the Bai family is only supporting the second prince, and the emperor's imperial decree says that the crime is serious, which is really strange.

It was normal for the second prince to be confined in the mansion, but it was strange for the third prince.

Guarding the imperial mausoleum is sometimes a very bad thing, but sometimes it is a very good thing.The most important thing is that this is not the time to guard the imperial mausoleum, these people really can't figure out the emperor's attitude towards the third prince.

The officials who were not affected, after hearing the news, clicked their tongues twice, lamenting that Han Si'en is really a disaster star, whoever gets a little bit of it, he can kill someone.
