wife and king

Chapter 131: Rumors

A few days later, a rumor suddenly appeared in the court in private: Li Jie was dissatisfied with his own surname Li, but his status was too different from that of Eunuch Li, and he wanted to compete for the position of prison in the palace.

There was a mixed bag of fish and dragons in the palace, rumors spread again and again, and soon fell into the ears of An Tianren and Eunuch Li.An Tianren's complexion was not good, and there was already an angry look on his face.Li Jie's supervisory censor dared to have such a bold idea, did he really think that he was lawless and could do whatever he wanted!

And Eunuch Li's complexion was also extremely ugly. His status was so thought about by others, so he had to be careful every day to avoid being harmed by others. He couldn't be happy when he thought that such a day of fear was about to be wrapped up.Furthermore, he heard that a few days ago, Li Jie blamed himself for the fact that he falsely passed on the holy order, which instantly made him lose all affection for Li Jie, and he wished to pinch him in the palm of his hand and tear his body to pieces.

An Tianren restrained his weak posture, clenched his hands into fists, and tapped on the armrest of the chair one by one. Following the regular taps, he analyzed the stakes of the matter one by one in his heart. When his hands stopped, he turned his head to face Eunuch Li said: "Let's do it, I forgive you for not being guilty!" This implied that Eunuch Li killed Li Jie secretly.

"Thank you Lord Long En!" Eunuch Li bowed down and kowtowed again and again. When he raised his head, the coldness in his eyes was clear.

Compared to the furious An Tianren and Eunuch Li, Li Jie was slightly panicked.Although he didn't deny that he had such an idea, he was not stupid enough to dig a hole for himself and tell others blatantly that he was thinking about Eunuch Li's position.This rumor can spread wildly in the palace without any basis, so there is no need to think that someone deliberately set it up to stir up conflicts between him, An Tianren and Eunuch Li.

Li Jie thought about the causal connection before and after, and then thought of a person who might want his life—Wang Enyi.

The only one who has a stake in him is Wang Enyi.He had a lot of information about Wang Enyi in his hands, and it was only natural that Wang Enyi wanted his life.

Since Wang Enyi is unrighteous, he is not benevolent. No one will benefit if he breaks the jar.You, Wang Enyi, can use the sage to deal with him with Eunuch Li, and he, Li Jie, can also use the sage to fight against the general.

Thinking of this, Li Jie hurriedly fled away at night with his whole family belongings. Before leaving, he pried out a box from under the big tree at home, and personally sent it to a place that he had a good relationship with. In the hands of the officials, he was told that if something happened to him, he must hand it over to the emperor himself.The hand of the official holding the box was trembling. Li Jie is now the target of public criticism. Without even looking at the box, he hurriedly got on the carriage with it, rushed to a remote corner and threw it away.

Therefore, when Li Jie was complacent about taking a bite of Wang Enyi, he didn't know that his hard preparation had been exhausted.

However, Li Jie still failed to escape, An Tianren first ordered to the city gate guards that anyone who leaves the city gate must be strictly interrogated, Li Jie must not be let in, once he sees Li Jie, he can kill him first and then play.So, Li Jie was dragged to a corner by the people sent by Li Gonggong at the gate of the city in such a daze, and lost his life. soil marks.

When the news of Li Jie's death reached Wang Enyi's ears, Wang Enyi was stunned for a moment.Why did Li Jie die suddenly, although he hated Li Jie, but he still needed Li Jie to help him succeed, not to the point of killing Li Jie.My heart sank, and I sent people to inquire carefully, and found out that An Tianren had promised Eunuch Li to send people to do it, and instantly connected Li Jie's actions in the palace, recent rumors, and An Tianren's killing of Li Jie. , the more he thought about it, the more frightening he became. Could it be that An Tianren found out that Ji Fuxin was murdered by Li Jie?

Wang Enyi's body trembled three times. Li Jie once said that he had a lot of information about him in his hands. If he died and exposed his inside story, wouldn't something happen to him?

No, An Tianren can't stay any longer, otherwise he will die under An Tianren's hands one day before he sits on the throne.That being the case, let's get rid of An Tianren.

An ordinary rumor caused conflicts among all parties in the palace. An Tianren was overjoyed by Li Jie's death, and was even more obsessed with Mengrong's account of ecstasy. Wang Enyi started to drive An Tianren out of the dragon chair.

And just when Wang Enyi was about to make a move and An Tianren was infatuated with Mengrong, another incident caused an uproar in the palace.

Winter came quietly, and as soon as the first snow fell, the head of the snow opened. For several days in a row, the snow fell endlessly, the leaves of the tall trees returned to their roots, covered with silver frost, and the day of the royal hunting came to the front with the passage of time.

An Tianren used the hands of Eunuch Li to get rid of Li Jie's confidant's serious troubles. He was very happy, and he wanted to do it a long time ago, but he was afraid that after he did it, this matter would fall into the eyes of those who cared, and some things such as the emperor's innocent beheading would happen. The rumors of the imperial court ordering officials have not been acted on, until this day, and Li Eunuch Li can be used to cover up, so that Li Jie can be killed by his subordinates.

When he was happy, he even abandoned the government, and he was obsessed with the love with Mengrong all day long. Mengrong is very good at bed skills, and in order to save Ji Linchuan next time, she worked hard to act coquettishly and sing together. Technology, in just a few days, has progressed rapidly, making An Tianren's heart tremble, and he is fascinated.Afterwards, relying on the queen's backing and An Tianren's favor on the one hand, her status rose rapidly. When the day of hunting came, she had been canonized as Concubine Meng.

I don't know, but because of the fate of a mediocre king and the resentment of the people, not many of An Tianren's children live to adulthood, and there are only a few princes, and the only one who can be alive and kicking is An Shunyan.Therefore, it is too boring to hunt with few people. An Tianren changed the royal hunting to the hunting of hundreds of officials. Anyone who is brave enough can join in and enjoy the hunting with the emperor.

But during the hunt that day, a strange thing happened.

The feathered arrows of the Baiguan were inspected by special personnel before hunting, but when the Baiguan shot the prey and returned with the arrow to count the prey, everyone suddenly discovered that there was a line of white characters on the feather arrow. : The favorite minister is against the sky, and the relatives are monopolizing power.

All the officials were startled, they looked at each other, not even daring to let out a breath, An Tianren was so angry that he trembled all over, he threw the bow and arrow in his hand violently on the spot, and dropped the quiver on his back to the ground. , Eunuch Li stepped forward to take a look, and his face changed drastically. On each of the feather arrows, there was written that line of white words: The favorite minister is against the sky, and the relatives are exclusive!

An Tianren was furious, and ordered people to arrest the person who issued the arrows and managed them on the spot, and tortured them severely, but they could only hear them howling and complaining about their injustice, and they didn't do anything, and they gave the arrows to the ministers Before, they had looked at it carefully, and it was indeed correct.

If it is not man-made, is it God's will?

This thought was quietly settled in the minds of all the officials, each carefully looked up at the empress and Wang Enyi who followed with a cold face, and lowered their heads with deep meaning, without saying a word.

The situation is changing in a blink of an eye, and the battle between courts and courts cannot be explained in a single word.

An exhilarating hunt ended in disappointment, An Tianren sent people to investigate what was going on, but they couldn't find out for a long time, so that the officials were even more convinced that the favored ministers were against the sky, and that it was God's will to rule over the relatives.

An Tianren also believed it deeply. Since then, he has had frequent nightmares, and he has been tortured by shock day and night. Whenever he closes his eyes, he can see Wang Enyi holding a sharp sword in his hand, piercing through the sword. His heart, staring at his corpse on the dragon chair, would also see the queen hugging his neck, smiling softly, but in the next moment, his complexion changed suddenly, a dagger pierced his abdomen, bringing out his fresh blood .

An Tianren started to get scared, trembling with fear, walking on thin ice, afraid that if he took one more step, he would be pierced by a sharp knife that drilled out of the ground.

As soon as he was frustrated, he suddenly became seriously ill without any warning. The imperial doctor rushed to treat him, but unexpectedly discovered that An Tianren had been poisoned by a chronic poison, which was slowly eroding his life.Fortunately, the drug was not deep enough to be fatal.

An Tianren was furious, smashed all the decorations on the head of the bed, and pointed at him, let me check!

After an investigation, it was found that it was the hands of the imperial chef, and the imperial chef was beaten and confessed that it was the queen who asked him to do it!

As soon as the news came out, the court was shocked.When An Tianren was worried about his own life, he who didn't like the queen in the first place became angry when he heard about it, and he didn't trust the queen anymore, so he let the queen cry and her makeup turned red, and she threw herself down in front of him and kowtowed repeatedly , was not moved, and did not investigate the poisoning matter carefully, so with a big wave of his hand, he took away the queen's position and put her in the cold palace, never to come back!At the same time, Concubine Meng will succeed her and take charge of the harem!

This series of events happened too suddenly. In less than half a month, the situation in the DPRK and China has changed. The empress has fallen out of favor, while Concubine Meng is in favor, while Wang Enyi's status remains unchanged. trust.

On this day, the cold wind and rain poured into the cold palace, and the empress who had lost her power was in a bad mood. She was framed like this without any basis. , heart ashes.She has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and was raised as a queen. She has always been aloof and respected by others, but within a day, she was thrown into the cold palace. Such a gap, how could she accept it in her heart? Thinking of suicide.

Fortunately, when Bai Ling was about to end his remnants three feet, Meng Rong just arrived, rescued him, and comforted him attentively, but the queen thought that Meng Rong was here to show off her succession, so she pushed Meng Rong away madly. , She picked up the dagger and wanted to kill herself, but she hurt Mengrong.

The palace maid was shocked and wanted to report the matter to the emperor, but she was sternly reprimanded by Meng Rong, and she was too frightened to take a step forward.

Meng Rong screened the maid back, and threatened the maid if she dared to leak a few words about what happened today, she would die without a whole body.The maid was frightened, kept silent, bowed and retreated.After she left, Mengrong shed tears, saying that she had no intention of taking the throne at all, otherwise she would not have resisted when An Tianren brought her into the palace. She bewitched the emperor just to save her life so that she could escape from the capital Otherwise, if he resisted like Princess Yan, he would only end up under house arrest.The words were touching, and they aroused the sympathy of the queen who was in the same situation at the moment. The two sisters embraced each other and wept in an instant, expressing their heartfelt love to each other.

Meng Rong is the best at manipulating people's hearts, but with just a few words, the queen is moved and her thoughts of committing suicide are eliminated. Meng Rong also hints to the queen to think about the person who framed her, and asks her to turn to her natal family for help.

The queen's heart was already in turmoil. In this palace, there was such a powerful person who opposed her. She could only think of Wang Enyi.

But the suspense fell on the head again. If it was Wang Enyi, then why did Wang Enyi add the words "favored minister against the sky" to the feather arrow.

In this regard, Mengrong explained that the matter of Feather Arrow was probably done on purpose by An Tianren. He wanted to use this as an excuse to get rid of his relatives and favorite ministers. Apart from him, who else dares to do something about the feather arrow behind him, and if he is the emperor, it is entirely possible to order someone to do something about the feather arrow, and then make him keep silent.

Hearing what Mengrong said, the empress felt a chill in her heart, she knew that she could no longer sit still at this moment, she was the daughter of a great general, and An Tianren hadn't touched her all these years, just out of concern for her father's status, if something happened to her now, what would happen to him? Her father is very likely to be implicated by it, and she must let her father retreat and protect himself before the matter escalates, so as not to stir up such troubled waters, first let Wang Enyi and An Tianren fight each other, and when the time is right, they will sit back and reap the rewards profit.

Therefore, the queen immediately wrote a letter, asking Mengrong to find a way to hand it over to her father.

Mengrong took it up, said a few words of comfort to the queen, and left gracefully.Flipping through the letter in his hand, he curled his lips into a sneer.

That night, a servant arranged by Gao Yu quietly delivered the letter Mengrong got from the queen to Ji Linchuan - because during this period, An Tianren was busy dealing with Wang Enyi and the queen, and had no intention of caring about Ji Linchuan. Therefore, more than half of the people who guarded Ji Linchuan were transferred away, that's why Gao Yu's people took the opportunity to pass on the outside information for Ji Linchuan.

After getting Mengrong's letter, Ji Linchuan inquired about the cause and effect, frowned, and called the waiter to come up with tools, carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and read it carefully.

The content of the letter was to the effect that the queen's father should retreat and protect himself, wait for the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman.After Ji Linchuan read it, he carefully spread out the letter, took a blank piece of paper, imitated the queen's handwriting repeatedly, and pondered her tone repeatedly. melted his handwriting, and then wrote the new content in his own hand.After finishing writing, I double-checked that it was correct, dried the ink, carefully put it back into the envelope, sealed it intact, and handed it over to the servant, ordering it to be delivered to the general.

The servant took it carefully, and with Ji Linchuan's order to leave, delivered the letter to the queen's father, the general He Jin, early the next morning.

When General He read the letter, his heart was full of anger. The words on it were stern, telling the desolation of the empress who was left in the cold palace, and analyzed that the people who killed her behind the scenes were Wang Enyi and An Tianren. The words in the letter showed sincere hope Her father rescued her from the palace, hoping to avenge her.

Seeing what his daughter said, He Jin couldn't bear it. The government troops in Jingji area and Beicheng are all under his command. As long as he gives an order, they can attack the city.

But when he glanced down and saw the end of the letter, he found that his daughter actually asked him to prepare first, arrange the manpower, and not move for the time being, and wait until the court Zhong An Tianren and Wang Enyi were exhausted and exhausted, and then sent troops.

He Jin is a rough man who practices martial arts, and his heart is naturally not as delicate as his daughter. After discussing with his subordinates, he felt that this matter is feasible, so he asked his subordinates to prepare and contact people. When the time is right, he will attack the city and rescue his daughter.

Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, Meng Rong blew in An Tianren's ear first, and asked him to issue a holy decree to He Jin. Powerful, defending the country should be the first to bear the brunt, so let the general lead the army to the northwest and guard the northwest.

The capital is located in the northeast of the Huan Dynasty area, but He Jin was sent to the northwest. The difference between the east and the west has a big difference in climate and region. Generally, soldiers cannot adapt to the climate in a short period of time, so this trip will definitely affect the strength of the troops. Certain damage.How could He Jin accept that his daughter was left in the cold palace while he was sent to other places to garrison at this time.

So, he couldn't bear it any longer, quickly assembled his team, and led his troops to rush to the palace!
