Pet official

In the absence of the emperor, the officials were in a state of panic, and the concubines were also panicked. They didn't care about the palace banquet, so they sat for a while and then dispersed.

Empress Wei knew it well, knowing that the matter was over, she couldn't help but burst into joy.

The queen returned to the palace calmly, and Concubine Shu couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. She had been up and down in the palace for many years, and at this moment she had keenly smelled the smell of blood before the hurricane hit.

Concubine Shu Gui looked into the distance, the dark palace city looked more and more like a huge beast's mouth under the bleak moonlight, it was waiting for those who made sacrifices to send it countless fresh flesh and blood.

The cold wind whizzed past, making people's robe sleeves squeak violently, Concubine Shu sighed lightly, and murmured: "The sky is about to change."

Song Ren and Ruan Yunqing also hurried down the Tingfeng Tower.Feng Kui was captured, but their strategy was only half completed, and there was still a tough battle to be fought, and the next thing to do was the most important thing.

After returning to Duanhua Palace, Song Bi hurriedly mobilized two thousand troops from the prince's six guards, and together with Chen Da's two thousand imperial guards, quietly left the imperial city.The two teams formed a siege and headed north all the way, controlling the [-] elite soldiers brought by Feng Kui outside the capital overnight.As for the lieutenant generals and the twelve generals around Feng Kui, Liu Tong had already sent an order to send troops to closely monitor them, and if there was any movement, they would be punished immediately with Feng Kui.

Three days passed in a flash, and the atmosphere in Beijing became increasingly tense.Because of the victory at the border, Feng Kui's arrest was temporarily suppressed by Liu Tong, and he beheaded the hero just after the victory. If it was spread, it would inevitably be caught by someone with a heart, saying that Emperor Hongyou had all his bows hidden, and it was time to deal with impeachment. Even if he is in a state of desperation, it will only have a counterproductive effect on Song Ren's strategy.

Song Ren's strategy, arresting Feng Kui and removing Concubine De are just one of them. During the negotiation between Ruan Yunqing and Queen Wei, Song Ren's strategy was only revealed here. Empress Wei knew about it.

Because of their common interests, they were able to join forces with Empress Wei and use the strength around each other to achieve twice the result with half the effort.Now the result that Empress Wei wanted has been achieved, but what Song Ru and the others wanted has just begun.

Feng Kui was captured on the charge of trespassing into the Forbidden Palace with a sharp knife in his hand, intending to commit misdeeds.Once this crime is confirmed, not only Feng Kui, but also his relatives, all close relatives of the nine clans within the five clothes, will all be dragged to the long street to have their heads beheaded for public display.This is a catastrophe of genocide, and whoever is caught in it will never be able to get out completely.Feng Kui naturally understood this truth, so Song Ju wanted to give him a chance to escape when he was in a desperate situation.

Song Ren had already placed a confidant next to Feng Kui, and once this incident happened, he would find a way to get this confidant into the sky prison to rescue Feng Kui and let him go.Once Feng Kui is rescued, in order to survive, he will definitely flee back to the border. There are hundreds of thousands of troops he has recruited over the years... Song Ren's purpose is to force Feng Kui to rebel.But Feng Kui rebelled, and the court will naturally send troops to suppress the rebellion. After many years of fighting with Bei Mang, the court has become increasingly worn out. Hold military power in your hands.

This is the real purpose of Song Ruo, he wants to force Feng Kui to fight against him, and take the opportunity to seize the military power.

This strategy is really dangerous, and Song Ren also calculated it for a long time before he boldly proposed it. He wanted to risk his life to tear apart the current stalemate situation and clear the way for him to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

Song Ju couldn't afford to wait, and couldn't wait any longer.Especially after the incident at the horse farm, Song Bian realized that the power in his hands was nothing more than a mirror. It looked good, but when it was actually used, it seemed so powerless that even Empress Wei's words of "unfilial piety" could overwhelm him. I can't breathe.

Song Ke is getting older, and Empress Wei's hostility towards him is getting stronger day by day.Liu Tong is about to retire, and the court will soon be dominated by Shu Shangshu and others. It is still difficult for the newly promoted young officials to take up important positions. In the next ten years, Song Ren will be squeezed back and forth by these forces. It is necessary to be cautious every day and be on guard all the time, so as to escape their plots.

I feel aggrieved just thinking about it.Song Ju didn't want to do that. If he had to be careful in everything to save his life, it would be better to put on a fight and make a dangerous move. After he seized the military power, he would have a strong support in his hands.Not only for himself, but also for his beloved, no longer need to be oppressed by anyone, no longer need to look at anyone's face to live, Song Ru firmly believes that he is taking the right step.

Another three days passed in a blink of an eye.During the past three days, although Liu Tong kept the fact of Feng Kui's capture a secret, he still couldn't prevent the rumors from spreading.

Presumably, on the day of the palace banquet, the emperor behaved abnormally, and Feng Kui disappeared for no reason, and his mansion was immediately surrounded by heavy soldiers.Not only that, but the twelve generals brought back by Feng Kui were also under surveillance. The five thousand elite soldiers outside the city were surrounded by the prince's six guards.

All kinds of anomalies are gathered together, and all the officials can connect the joints as long as they think about it for a while. Feng Kui was captured by the emperor, so they can logically guess.

All the officials secretly guessed, but they did not dare to act rashly.Since ancient times, the killing of meritorious officials after fighting has always been the extreme means used by the emperor to stabilize the imperial power. The crimes given to the heroes are also different, sometimes even just some trivial things, but in the eyes of the emperor, it can become a heinous crime .At this time, no one dared to touch the emperor's Ni Lin, but the few people who were most likely to plead for Feng Kui were all under house arrest by Liu Tong, and they couldn't even leave the house.

Concubine De wanted to intercede for her elder brother several times, but every time she arrived outside Emperor Hongyou's bedroom, someone stopped her outside, saying that the emperor was ill and could not see outsiders.

Concubine De refused to believe it, and made a scene several times, but still failed to see the emperor's face.As soon as I went back, I consulted with Zhang Qiao. Zhang Qiao searched around and entrusted countless favors, but they were all muddled and had no effect at all.After finally finding out where Feng Kui was locked up, Concubine De wanted to see her elder brother, but was blocked by Chen Da from outside the prison. No matter how she played tricks, Chen Da refused to tolerate her.

Concubine De brought the fifteenth prince, who was only three years old, to her knees outside Kangqian Palace, saying that if the emperor didn't see her, she wouldn't get up for a day.After kneeling for a day and two nights without touching water or rice, the little prince was freezing and hungry, and crying heartbreakingly, but Emperor Hongyou still didn't even show his face, and he didn't even send someone out to say a word of comfort.

Concubine De's heart was completely cold, she scolded Emperor Hongyou, and when she came back, she was so angry that she couldn't help falling ill.The imperial doctor came to diagnose and treat him, and after waiting for a long time, a young young man was sent.Concubine De saw that the general situation was over, and even the people in the palace began to be negligent, she couldn't help gnashing her teeth with hatred, and asked that young man to call the envoy of the imperial hospital, and she had to teach these villains who exalt the superior and trample the inferior.

Thinking that she had lost all her wealth in the past, she didn't want to end up being pushed by the wall when things came to an end.Concubine De's heart was full of grief, she had no choice but to bear with the situation.Now Feng Kui is her only support, if he dies, there is no hope of turning her back on herself, she has to rescue her brother no matter what.

Patience let the young man check the pulse and prescribe the medicine. After drinking the medicine, not only did the disease not improve, but even the old wound on his hand began to ache.

Concubine De was upset, she didn't suspect him, and when she realized something was wrong, large pustules had already started to appear around the burned skin on her hands.

The pustules will burst when touched, and the pus will flow out. Once it touches the skin, it will infect a large area. It is unbearably itchy and piercing to the bone.In less than half a day, there was no good place on her body.After another day, all the places with pustules were ulcerated and fetid, and the stench could be heard from far away, as if a dung pit had been overturned. Go in, as long as you go in, you will be vomited by the stench.

Concubine De nearly went crazy, seeing her beautiful face turned ugly and smelly all over her body, she was so mad with hatred, she immediately thought that the young imperial doctor who was visiting that day had made a mess of her medicine.Let Zhang Qiao go to the imperial hospital to get someone, but unexpectedly the imperial hospital said that there is no such a young imperial doctor surnamed Jia. Only then did Concubine De know the truth, and thought about it hard, but she had no choice but to offend the person in the past Too many, for a while, I couldn't think of who was behind it.

In the evening of that day, Zheng Changchun went to Dexin Palace, and gave a three-foot white silk, asking Concubine De to commit suicide.

Concubine De was filthy all over, with her long hair hanging loose, she was curled up in the corner of the wall, looking at herself in pity for herself in front of a diamond mirror.

"Hee hee, look, who is this? She looks so good, she will be scared to death..."

She stretched out her dirt-covered fingers and lifted a lock of long hair. Under the knotted hair was an ugly face full of pus and red marks. Concubine De pointed out as if she had seen something funny. She couldn't stop laughing at that ugly face, and when Zheng Changchun and others came, she still held onto the mirror, her gaze was dull, and she let out bursts of hoarse laughter.

Zheng Changchun almost let the smell out of the room, he covered his mouth and nose, looked around, saw that the former Dexin Palace, full of luxurious rooms, is now like a haunted desolate house.The room was full of overturned and smashed furniture, and the bed curtains and veils were all torn to pieces. Concubine De was only wearing a colorless jacket, she didn't wear shoes and socks, and she stepped on the ground with her bare feet. On the ground covered with broken porcelain pieces, the soles of the feet had already been scratched to pieces, and every step they took would leave a blood-red footprint on the ground.

The slaves in this palace have long been hiding far away. Anyway, Concubine De is dead or alive, and now no one cares about it. Even Zhang Qiao, the chief eunuch in her palace, has disappeared without a trace. Seeing this, Zheng Changchun Looking at the scene, I can't help but think of his tragic situation when he was squeezed out by Xiao Changfu that day, and I feel very sad.

"Don't blame the old slave for being cruel. Now that you look like this, it's better not to live."

Zheng Changchun asked someone to throw off the white silk, but Concubine De didn't realize it. After laughing for a long time, she jumped up and rummaged in the closet, "The emperor is coming, what should I wear?"

The valuables in the cabinet were robbed by the servants of Dexinli long ago, and all that was left in the cabinet now was a dirty and torn quilt.Concubine De rummaged for a while, picked up the quilt, her eyes lit up as if seeing some feathered clothes.Her eyes were burning, and she put the quilt on her body with a flick of her hand, "Isn't this the phoenix robe that the emperor rewarded me? Hee hee, the emperor will definitely like Xiaoyun wearing this dress."

She was wearing a quilt and turned around, the tattered cotton wadding was scattered all over the floor, Concubine De didn't realize it, and her feet were cut a few more times, she still danced lightly, as if she was still the Concubine De who was arrogant and unstoppable back then Empress.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you send Concubine De to the road?"

Zheng Changchun gave an order, and the eunuchs behind him immediately rushed up, picked up the white silk on the ground, pushed Concubine De to the ground, wrapped her neck several times back and forth, the two sides fought hard, and immediately strangled Concubine De until her eyes turned white , died of exhaustion.

When she died, she was still staring in the direction of Kangqian Palace. There were all her hopes in this life, her youth, and the infinite scenery of the year.

Tears rolled down, Concubine De finally uttered two words, everyone could hear clearly, she was called by the name of Emperor Hongyou.
