Pet official

At this time, this is the only way to go.Empress Wei has gone mad, and Concubine Shu Gui also noticed that she is trying to settle old and new debts together, and she wants to catch them all who have competed with her in the past and who have made things difficult for her, and then place them one by one. deadly.

Emperor Hongyou died strangely, and Concubine Shu Gui had suspected it for a long time.He has always been in excellent health. Although he is greedy for women, he is extremely afraid of death. He eats a light diet and pays great attention to health preservation. Even the imperial physicians said that with Emperor Hongyou's body, there is absolutely no problem in living another 20 years. .

Such a healthy person, one day he was obviously fine, and the next day he died, without even a diagnosis, treatment and medication. In just one night, the good person disappeared?

There must be a ghost here, and it must be related to Queen Wei and Qin Ji.Perhaps as early as the beginning of Emperor Hongyou and Qin Ji's acquaintance, Empress Wei was secretly planning for everything today, and when the time came, she would get rid of Emperor Hongyou and help Song Ke ascend the throne.

All this happened so suddenly that everyone was unprepared. Before that, don't say anything suspicious, even a little clue is nowhere to be found. Queen Wei is really a hero among women, ruthless and wise. Ji Wushuang deceived them miserably.

Because of the war ahead, in the past few years, those who stayed in Beijing began to stand still.No one knows what this battle will be like, the enemy is outnumbered, Song Ru is fighting a battle that is almost impossible to win.On the one hand, they hoped that Song Ren would be defeated, and it would be better if he was completely defeated and died unexpectedly.As long as Song Bi died on the battlefield, they wouldn't have to do anything to get rid of him.

On the other hand, they were afraid that Song Ju would lose.Song Ren's defeat means that no one can resist the rebels anymore. Feng Kui drove straight into the capital, and their intrigues were meaningless. What about the throne?

In the midst of these two contradictory emotions, Song Ren won the first battle and the Second World War, and news of victory was sent back to the capital. Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and their moods became more complicated. Even Shu Shangshu and others thought about it. Is it necessary to force the palace in advance, and force Emperor Hongyou to pass the throne to Song Xuan before Song Ren returns.

Just when Shu Shangshu and others were hesitating, Empress Wei acted preemptively. I don't know what method she used to kill Emperor Hongyou in the past.In her hand, she also held a posthumous edict written by Emperor Hongyou himself, which clearly stated that Song Ren was abolished and Song Ke was changed to be the crown prince.

Now that the emperor is dead and the crown prince is the successor, as long as Empress Wei holds this imperial edict with the emperor's jade seal in hand, Song Ke will be Dongli's legitimate new emperor.

It's too late to hate, even if Concubine Shu Gui pissed herself to death, it still couldn't change the fact that they missed a move and were one step late after all.

Empress Wei not only put Song Ke on the throne, but also controlled the harem, forcing herself to be buried by Emperor Hongyou.Concubine Shu Gui didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, and hurriedly found Zhao Qing according to Yao Zhu's wishes, and asked him to quickly find a way to send a message to the First Prince. instead.

Zhao Qing has been waiting for this day for a long time.These servants who serve others are born with a keen sense of danger in advance.A long time ago, when Gu Yuanwu suddenly disappeared, and when Lian Zui and Chen Da were transferred out of Kangqian Palace one after another, Zhao Qing felt something was wrong.After more than half a month later, even Ruan Baosheng had completely lost the news, Zhao Qing's heart suddenly became aroused, he was flustered, and immediately thought that there must be a change in the imperial city.

Hastily inquired secretly, but they never found the whereabouts of Gu Yuanwu and Ruan Baosheng, and their respective errands said that they were seriously ill due to the influence of the time, and went out of the palace to recuperate.

Zhao Qing became more and more flustered, he was attached to the prince, he was the prince's eyeliner, he and Gu Yuanwu would meet every half a month on average.Now half a month has passed, followed by another ten days, and there is no news from Gu Yuanwu, not even a shadow of him.Not to mention Ruan Baosheng, Zhao Qing is from Concubine Shu's palace, and he didn't dare to be too ostentatious when he went to Likun Palace to inquire about news. Too much, I don't know if the people in Likun Palace became suspicious, or if someone noticed something was wrong, when they went again, the people in the palace simply said that there was no Ruan Baosheng in their palace at all, you must be I have a bad memory.

Zhao Qing's heart turned cold. All these strange things meant that the two people were probably in danger.It's fine to be arrested, I'm afraid they've already been killed...

Zhao Qing didn't dare to think about it.These two people are extremely important to Song Ruan and Ruan Yunqing. No matter who captures them, they can be used as bargaining chips to blackmail Song Ruan and the others in the future. No one would waste such important hostages and kill them easily.

Zhao Qing comforted himself again and again, only hoping that God would bless them and save their lives.

Since then, the inspections in the palace have become more stringent, and the reason for banning entry and exit must be reported. There is a special person responsible for everything, and other people are not allowed to go out at will.

Song Yuan was not in the palace, they were single and weak, and they dared not confront any force head-on, otherwise they would definitely hit the stone with an egg.Zhao Qing repeatedly warned Lian Zui and Ma Cheng that they must be cautious these days, keep their duties, ignore unnecessary things, and must wait for Ruan Yunqing and the others to come back before making any plans.

Less than a month after Zhao Qing said this, Emperor Hongyou returned to the west with a banquet.Worried about what to do next, Concubine Shu didn't want Concubine Shu to take the initiative to leave the palace to deliver the letter to herself.

Zhao Qing was secretly delighted, and gladly accepted the order, and after Yao Zhu left the concubine's house, Yao Zhu bribed the eunuch in charge of guarding them, and sent Zhao Qing out of the forbidden palace, out of the inner city, and then turned back.

Along the way, Yao Zhu urged Zhao Qing to deliver the news to the First Prince in person, and counted the kindness that Concubine Shu Gui had treated him over the years. Before leaving the palace, she stuffed Zhao Qing with two Dongzhu, the size of a longan, was relieved to let him go.

Zhao Qing was dressed in green cloth trousers and a short jacket, relying on his very familiarity with the imperial city, he escaped layers of guards and reached the Imperial Horse Prison where Lian Zui was.

The two of them didn't bother to go into details, so they said a few words in a hurry, choosing the important ones.When Lian Zui heard that Zhao Qing was going to leave the palace, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he took him to find Chen Da, and forced Chen Da to send Zhao Qing out of the palace immediately.

Chen Da was haunted by Lian Zui, he had liked this child for a long time, and because of Emperor Hongyou's death, he had a lot of complaints about Empress Wei and Song Ke. Chen Da didn't approve of the new emperor in his heart, but as a guard, Guarding the safety of the imperial city and the emperor is their top priority.

Conflicted in his heart, Chen Da repeatedly refused.Reluctantly, Lian Zui begged again and again, Zhao Qing made clear his interests and interests, Chen Da had long been biased towards Song Ren, and after a few calculations, he finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, secretly made a heartless promise, and quietly released Zhao Qing the imperial city.

In the early morning of the next day, just before dawn, Zhao Qing hid in the carriage delivering water to the palace and escaped all the way.

After leaving the palace, he went straight to Liu Tong's residence. After Liu Tong became an official, Emperor Hongyou gave him a special kindness, allowing him to stay in Beijing for the elderly without having to return to his original place.In Dongcheng near Suzaku Street, Emperor Hongyou admired Liu Tong's courtyard with three entrances, and Liu Tong has stayed in Beijing since then.

Zhao Qing paid a sudden visit, and picked such an early morning, when most people hadn't woken up yet.Fortunately, Mr. Liu's family rules are very strict, and no evil slaves were allowed out. Relying on his master's vicious prestige, he was disturbed, and he didn't complain. He sent a letter to the inside in a polite manner, saying that someone in the palace wanted to see Mr. Liu.

Liu Tong has been restless these days.Ever since Emperor Hongyou had a banquet, he couldn't eat and couldn't sleep.Knowing that there must be something going on here, but he is helpless now that he is a commoner, even entering the palace is not an easy task, even if he wants to take care of it, he is powerless.

As soon as the day before yesterday, many officials came to his mansion to cry, saying how empress Wei turned the world upside down, how cruel and ferocious, and told Liu Tong about the tragic events in the Golden Palace one by one.

Liu Tong was taken aback, he had a very good impression of Empress Wei, and she was Song Bi's biological mother, Liu Tong never expected that this person who looked the most peaceful on weekdays had the most vicious attacks.

Sitting bored in the study, when I heard that someone in the palace wanted to see me.Liu Tong hurriedly asked someone to come in, and when he saw Zhao Qing, he didn't care about etiquette, so he dragged him to ask about the situation in the palace.

The old man is over sixty years old, his sideburns are like snow, and his hair is full of autumn frost. His forehead has already been wrinkled, and he looks much older than before.

Zhao Qing hurriedly talked about the affairs in the palace, and said: "I'm here to discuss with the boss, what should we do next?"

After hearing what Zhao Qing had said, Liu Tong sat behind the table and was speechless for a while.

Empress Wei pretended to be self-reliant, Concubine Shu Gui wanted to force the palace to rebel, Emperor Hongyou's bones were still cold, they fought to the death because of the throne, and no one even cared about the emperor's funeral.

The boss was so angry that his whole body trembled. He froze for a moment, then slapped his hands on the table and shouted viciously: "What else are you asking for? Make trouble! Let them make trouble! I want to see if they can turn Dongli's world upside down!" Can't come here!"

Two lines of turbid tears rolled down, Liu Tong felt sad and couldn't help crying.After crying for a long time, he told Zhao Qing, "You follow Concubine Shu's order and send a letter to the eldest prince, saying that his mother is about to be forced to death by the queen, and ask him to quickly lead the troops to rescue her."

Zhao Qing couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly asked: "Isn't this trip just giving them a reason to send troops?"

Liu Tong's face turned cold, and he said harshly: "At this time, let them fight! The more fierce they fight and the more chaos they make, the better it will be for His Highness. Yan Huicheng is thousands of miles away, even if we send a letter to His Highness immediately It will take a month for them to rush back to the capital. In this month, they don't know what changes will happen. In case Queen Wei rushes ahead of His Highness, goes to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors, and then burns the table to worship the heavens, and announces to the world, The ten princes, the emperor, are really hard to change.

Speaking of this, Liu Tong couldn't help frowning, he paused for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "At that time, it will be too late, even if His Highness regains the throne in the future, and it will be recorded in the history books in the future, he will not escape." An infamy for usurping the throne. This old man must not allow His Highness to bear this infamy!"
