Prosperous Tsing Yi - Tsing Yi

As soon as Jiang Yiliu left, a court lady rushed to Xiangxi Palace to look for Cuihong, "Is Aunt Cuihong here?"

"Aunt Cuihong is in the side hall."

"Thank you, sister." The little maid trotted into the side hall, saw Cui Hong hurried forward, and whispered in her ear.

"really?"

The little palace maid nodded, "The servant has to go back and wait, please make plans early, aunt."

"Okay, you go." Cuihong said to Tsing Yi: "Please stay here for a while, my lord, I will come as soon as I go." Back in the main hall, Cuihong rewarded the little maids and eunuchs. And the gold and silver that had been prepared a long time ago asked them to give New Year gifts to the ladies in the palaces. It is only a few days before the Lunar New Year, so it is appropriate to give gifts at this time.As soon as they left, Cui Hong neatly packed some important things, wrapped them in a piece of brocade cloth and returned to the side hall, after repeatedly making sure that no one was prying, she opened the secret room of the side hall, and walked in together with Zhao Qingyi.

Tsing Yi looked around, the secret room was simply furnished, with a table and two chairs, behind the table and chairs was a couch, with floor-to-ceiling palace lanterns on each side of the couch, and a brocade quilt on the couch, neatly folded ; The back of the bat couch is blocked by a curtain, so you can't see clearly.There are several large bamboo baskets against the wall on the left hand side of the door, which looks a bit abrupt.

Cuihong seemed to see his thoughts, "Young Master Zhao, the incident happened suddenly. Let me make a long story short. The emperor has passed away. I can only wrong you to hide here for safety. When the matter is over, the princess will naturally send someone to pick you up. Bamboo There are dry food, water and some fruits in the basket, no matter if there is any noise outside, the young master must not pay attention to it."

"The emperor... has passed away." Tsing Yi murmured and repeated, Pei Ling, did she already get the fighting box?

"Please take care of this parcel to His Highness the Princess. Your life is at stake, so please take care." Cui Hong put down the parcel and hurriedly exited the secret room.She returned to the main hall as if nothing had happened, but she knew that Mrs. Changsun would not let her go, because she knew too many secrets.

At that time, Xihe had just been imprisoned in the dungeon.She looked around, picked a relatively dry place, and sat on the ground against the wall.After Jing Hegong fainted, she was sent here directly.Based on the speed and distance she traveled, she judged that this cell had already left the inner palace, and it should be a private cell secretly set up by the Changsun family.The eldest Sun Yinrong is indeed very powerful and smart. I believe that the inner palace is completely controlled by her at this moment, but it doesn't matter. She is now fully focused on the succession of the throne, and has no time to care about her life or death.As long as we get through tonight, everything is fine.

Xihe turned his head and looked at Suo Lifeng on his right shoulder, little guy, it's all up to you.

Just as Xihe assumed, the heavy soldiers who had surrounded Yuanhe Palace had already surrounded Jinghe Palace, and the one who led the forbidden army was the cousin of Empress Changsun.At this moment, the Changsun family has "persuaded" several important officials to support King Qi as the emperor, and is "persuading" the prince Jiang Li to write a petition memorial to give up the throne to assist his brother Jiang Xian because of his disability.The Changsun family promised to enfeoff Qingyanyan County, the richest in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, to him as a fief and let his descendants inherit the kingship.

Jiang Li looked at her coldly and didn't answer, no matter how much unwillingness there was, there was nothing he could do at this moment. This woman framed his mother and concubine, and came to seek his throne. I don't know where Jiang Xihe went.

"Jiang Li, the person who knows the current affairs is a hero. I have all the good words in this palace. You don't know how to flatter. You have torn your face. In the end, you are the one who can't end it." Empress Changsun sat on the dragon chair and looked at him sharply. Jiang Li.

"I want to see Princess Shangyi, where is she?"

"After you write the petition memorial and seal it, you will naturally see her, otherwise, you can only collect her body."

"Empress, think twice, Princess Shangyi is the Empress Dowager of the Southern Jin Dynasty, this move will definitely lead to war." Zhang Gong persuaded.

"Ms. Zhang is worrying too much. Of course, my palace will not deal with that lowly girl in Yecheng. The new emperor's accession to the throne is naturally based on stability. If the north and the south fight at this time, wouldn't it be a great opportunity to cultivate and preserve strength? .”

"What the lady said is very true."

"Jiang Li, whether you write it or not."

"If you don't write, you can push this prince out of the Meridian Gate. I'd like to see how Jiang Xian ascended to the throne of God in a legitimate way." After finishing speaking, he looked at King Qi standing under the queen, with disdain in his eyes .

King Qi didn't agree with the queen's actions at all, and he was inevitably guilty of being so provoked by the prince, so he quickly avoided his sight.

With a sound of "bang", Empress Changsun jumped up against the case, angrily scolded: "Jiang Li, you are shameless, I really think that this palace can do nothing to you."

Jiang Li sneered and said: "If there are any unscrupulous tricks, just use them, killing my mother and concubine first, and seizing my throne later, how can I write a petition memorial to you, a sworn enemy, it's really slippery." The great joke of the world."

"Come... man!" Empress Changsun turned livid with anger, "Take him to the prison and greet him well."

"Here."

Several important ministers looked at the prince Jiang Li being taken away without regret, but they could only shake their heads and sigh.

"Master Zhang, the Ministry of Etiquette will prepare for the enthronement ceremony early tomorrow morning. In addition, let the officials submit a report to impeach the prince because he has no morals, incompetence and poor appearance. It is difficult to be the heir apparent."

"Here, but, the emperor's funeral...how does your empress plan to handle it?" Zhang Gong asked.

Empress Changsun glanced at him, "Old fox, it's clear that this moment is a secret, so why don't you ask again, "This matter...let me discuss with the Ministry of Rites before making a decision."

"The Lunar New Year will be in a few days. Delaying the funeral until the beginning of spring may cause bad luck in the coming year. Please also ask the empress to summon the officials of the Ministry of Rites to discuss the details of the national funeral."

Empress Changsun suppressed her anger, Jiang Li's petition memorial has not yet been written, and the funeral is going on at this time. As the crown prince, helping Ling go to the funeral, and trying to overthrow him, it is not a matter of a petition memorial.

"The emperor passed away, and the empress is just sad, why is Zhang Xiang so aggressive?"

Zhang Gong didn't even look at the minister of the Ministry of War. He and the empress had the same surname, so naturally they vented their anger through the same nostril. As long as the prince helped the spirit to attend the funeral, it would be difficult for the empress to attack the prince. Discuss the national funeral."

"Minister, second." The right corresponded.

"Minister, second." The Minister of the Ministry of Officials responded.

……

"You...you..." The queen was so angry that her face turned ashen, and suddenly she sat down and fainted.

"Come here, come here, the queen has fainted." The maid beside the queen shouted loudly.

After a while, Sun Yi, the commander of the forbidden army, walked in majestically, "The emperor just passed away, what are you doing? Are you rebelling?"

Just as Zhang Gong wanted to go forward to argue, Li Jin quietly grabbed him, and when he turned his head, Li Jin frowned and shook his head slightly.Zhang Gong's complexion turned a thousand times, and he finally endured it.Several important ministers were forced to stay in Jinghe Palace, and you all know in your heart that Empress Changsun is determined to break the boat this time, vowing to make her son Jiang Xian the emperor. .

When the queen returned to Jingren Palace, the leading nun hurriedly knelt down and said, "Return to the empress, that lowly maidservant Cuihong committed suicide in fear of crime."

With a "boom", Empress Changsun grabbed the teacup and slammed it on the ground, "Trash! How could she die so easily without saying a word, and I am still waiting for her confession to punish that bitch girl. "Such a hard bone, unexpectedly died.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Before Cui Hong died, she made a confession. This old slave has a copy of her confession."

"Oh?! Present it."

The queen's personal maid presented the confession, the queen glanced at it briefly, and said: "Old mother, at the critical moment, you are still able to do things well, and you have sent such important physical evidence to the palace. Come, I will reward you with 100 taels of gold."

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness." The old mother kowtowed again and again to thank her.

"Go down."

"Here."

The Queen held the confession with a satisfied smile on her face. She didn't care whether the confession was drawn by Cui Hong during her lifetime or after her death, as long as it had her fingerprints on it. , she can also be punished for the crime of collaborating with foreign enemies and chaos.Pei Yuanqing, your daughter will soon die at the hands of Ben Gong.

Around Yin time, Empress Changsun was discussing with Changsun Yi and other confidants in Jingren Palace on how to support the new emperor to ascend the throne. Yes, the Meridian Gate has been captured at this moment."

"Your Majesty, without further ado, please pass on Yi's decree to dispatch one hundred thousand elite soldiers to guard Yecheng."

"Commander, you are confused. The tiger talisman for dispatching troops is in Jiang Li's hands." Empress Changsun thought for a while, and then said: "Don't mess yourself up, you go to Jiang Li immediately, the incident happened suddenly, I believe he will take the overall situation as a priority." Seriously; all of you return to Jinghe Palace immediately, and persuade those old stubborn ones on my behalf; I have other important matters."

"Here." Several people saluted in response and exited Jingren Palace.

"Mo Lan, pass on the phoenix chariot, follow me to the secret prison."

"Here."

The dark cell was pitch-black, only a kerosene lamp at the entrance had some faint light. Xihe had been sitting on the wall with her eyes closed and rested. She had been sent in since around [-]:[-] yesterday. It's not because she's afraid of Changsun Yinrong being poisoned, but because instead of poisoning, she's going to inject something else.Before the new emperor was established, how could she be plotted against by her at this juncture. After going through Fengze's turbulent waves and facing the changes, she had learned to deal with them calmly.

The hurried and chaotic footsteps descended from the steps at the entrance, and Changsun Yinrong came looking for her. It seemed that General Ma had already led the troops into Ye City, and the vanguard might have already entered the Imperial City.Well, it's about time.Xihe exhaled slowly, opened his eyes, and looked radiant, looking confident.

The eldest Sun Yinrong stood at the door of the cell and looked at her coldly, just like she looked at her mother coldly that day.As if to say, your time of death has arrived.

"Come here, tie her up and take her away!" Mo Lan ordered loudly.

"Here!" Several servants swiftly opened the prison door and rushed in, unceremoniously tying up Xi and Wuhua.

Xihe has been looking at the eldest grandson Yinrong with a slight smile. Tonight is destined to be a grand ceremony, but it is not your eldest grandson Yinrong's, but mine, Jiang Xihe.

"You bitch, you're still laughing when you're dying, hum, I thought you were so powerful, like that bitch Pei Yuanqing, a tiger made of paper, let's see how I deal with you."

"You can scold me, but you can't scold my mother. You will have to pay for your bad words now, grandson Yinrong." Xihe said solemnly.

"Hahahaha." Empress Changsun laughed loudly, "Return it? What do you mean I return it? Take it away!"

Xihe was escorted out of the dark prison. She didn't drink or eat for a long time. She felt a little tired and her legs trembled when she walked. She tried her best to hold on no matter what. Tonight's big show just started.
