After I became a widow

Xiao Beihuai is very clear about his weaknesses, his concubine, the Su family and the Ye family, other than that are his mother and queen mother.

He is aware of his weaknesses, and those around him are also aware of his weaknesses.

Living people cannot move, but the imperial mausoleum far away from the capital is the best place to start, because his mother is buried there, and there is also the queen mother who is about to be buried in the ground.

It's just that those people don't know, even his father and emperor don't know that his mother and queen are not in the imperial tomb, and there is only an empty coffin there.

He secretly moved the empress mother's body to the Ye family's cemetery. She was the daughter of the Ye family when she was born, and she was also the daughter of the Ye family after death, so she should go home.

The purpose of these people moving the imperial mausoleum was to use his mother's bones to lure him there, and then take the opportunity to kill him.

The imperial mausoleum is densely covered with all kinds of poisonous insects and poisonous gases. It is indeed a good way to kill him by introducing him into it, and it is much easier than killing him outside.

As long as he dies, his father will certainly not survive. It doesn't matter whether the imperial mausoleum is destroyed or not, and no one can pursue it. He can even make up a decree from heaven to deceive the people by saying that the Xiao family will die and the Zhang family will prosper.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated.

Xiao Beihuai ordered Mo Yan, "Pass the message out of the city and ask Luo Lingchuan to arrange for someone to go to the imperial mausoleum first."

Mo Yan didn't move, and said: "My lord, the news came that the coffin of the queen mother was robbed."

Looking at it, he wanted to catch both sides, and felt that there was always an intention to blackmail the prince.

Xiao Beihuai raised his eyebrows, "Where's Xiao Yunyi?"

Mo Yan shook his head, "It was not mentioned in the letter, so it seems that something happened to King Yi, or King Yi acquiesced."

After all, those people wanted to kill the prince, and with Prince Yi in such a state, it is not impossible to take risks and cooperate with him.

"Where's the Zhang family's ancestral grave?" Su Jingqing asked suddenly, "Since they moved the imperial tomb, then we should reciprocate and dig up the Zhang family's ancestral grave."

They all attack the dead, and no one is more wicked than the other.

Mo Yan has really inquired about this matter, "The Zhang family's ancestral home is in Quzhou, not far from the capital. The direct branches of the Zhang family are all in the capital now, and there are only a few side branches in Quzhou guarding the old house of the ancestral hall. If we do something, the obstacles will not be too great .”

From Mo Yan's words, Su Jingqing could hear some eagerness to move.

But yes, I have never heard of people fighting for power and profit threatening others by digging graves, so it is really impossible to get on the stage.

That old Zhang Ge is also in a hurry now, and he can even use this method.

"Then fight with an eye for an eye," Xiao Beihuai instructed Mo Yan, "You arrange someone to handle this matter, and send the news back to the capital as soon as possible."

The game is that you do the first day and I do the fifteenth. If you move me for one point, I will pay back two, three or even ten points.

"Yes!" Mo Yan quickly took orders, turned around and retreated.

The next thing they did was to wait until someone delivered the letter to their door so that they could "take the bait" and go to the imperial mausoleum.

Wait for the news from the border and the local area, and then wait for the Zhang family's grave to be dug up.

Once the fish enters the net, none of them can be released.

The news came not too late, and it was sent to Prince Huai's residence the next afternoon. After reading it, Xiao Beihuai entered the palace, showed the letter to the emperor, and proposed to take troops to the imperial mausoleum.

The emperor was furious when he saw it, and scolded the rebellious ministers and thieves, so angry that he wanted to kill.

In the end, he told Xiao Beihuai not to keep anyone caught, but to kill them and feed them to the dogs.

Xiao Beihuai responded, and in turn persuaded the emperor a few words, telling the emperor to be careful, so as not to cause chaos in the capital after he left.

The emperor can now see that each of his courtiers is more ambitious than the other, and they really can't stay.

He reassured Xiao Beihuai, "I have a sense of proportion, the world is still named Xiao, no matter what they want to do, I will never let them succeed!"

After the Son of Heaven said this, he looked at Xiao Beihuai again, feeling guilty in his heart. He was the one who indulged these courtiers for too long, and he always wanted to deal with them after King Huai ascended the throne, but he didn't expect how big a threat these people were. , already shaking the foundation of the Xiao family.

"Zhen..." The emperor said something to explain himself, but he opened his mouth but didn't know where to start.

In the end, he just waved his hands and let Xiao Beihuai go to work, "Whoever you want to touch and what you do is up to you, and I won't ask."

Xiao Beihuai handed over his hand and resigned, and the emperor showed obvious emotions just now. Xiao Beihuai could roughly guess what he was thinking, but he just acted as if he didn't see it. Now he feels guilty, why did he go so early.

Xiao Beihuai left the palace and took Su Jingqing out of the city before the city gate was closed. He left in a hurry, and everyone who should know or not knew that he would not be in the capital tonight.

The other side was also very happy, touching his chin and rubbing his hands, saying that the fish was hooked.

It's just that he went out of Beijing, but after entering the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing, there was no movement. He even took Su Jingqing and the generals in the camp to hunt for several days.

It also made those in the capital city who received the news puzzled, what is the song that Duke Huai is singing?

"Could it be that Duke Huai has seen through our plan and is not planning to go to the Imperial Tomb?"

But if Duke Huai doesn't go, what's the use of them snatching the coffin of the Empress Dowager? They can't use these dead people, even if they destroy them, it won't do them any good.

"My lord, you have to think about it again. If Duke Huai doesn't go, we'll just make a plan."

The old man who was addressed as a lord could hold his breath, "Duke Huai will definitely go, he is just waiting..."

What are you waiting for?

Before the old man finished speaking, his heart skipped a beat. Duke Huai is still in the mood to have fun, which shows that he has a plan in mind and is not afraid of their tricks.

But why is Duke Huai so confident?

"Quick! Send someone to Quzhou quickly, and go home to the old house to see if something happened?!"

The old man realized, who is Duke Huai? If he wasn't ready to fight back, how could he still be playing and hunting at this moment.

And if they can dig a grave, Duke Huai can't?

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, everyone realized that Duke Huai was probably waiting for the news of their ancestral grave being dug to reach the capital.

It was a coincidence that the old man had just ordered someone to investigate, and the servants from the mansion brought a letter, "My lord, something happened in my hometown in Quzhou!"

The old man immediately opened the letter to read it, and he almost lost his breath when he saw it.

It was because the people around reacted quickly and caught the person in time, and they were smooth and pinched, so the old man was relieved.

The letter stated that Duke Huai not only ordered people to dig up their ancestral graves, but also destroyed the ancestral hall, and even took all the people from the old house away and brought them to the capital.

What Duke Huai wanted to exchange with these people was self-evident.

This is a glaring trick. If they want to save people, they can only abandon the two coffins in the imperial tomb. At the same time, they have exposed themselves. It is tantamount to sending the evidence of their crimes to King Huai, opening the imperial tomb, and robbing the queen mother and her husband. The queen's coffin is a felony crime of extermination.

But if he didn't save them, Duke Huai would spread the news to let the clansmen scattered all over the place know that he would not save his own clansmen, he was afraid that he would be divorced, and he also gave Duke Huai a chance to defeat them one by one.

Duke Huai's tricks allowed him to lift a rock and drop it on his own foot.

The old man's face was gloomy, and the people around were anxious while scolding Duke Huai. They all wanted to live a good life, wanted to turn their hands into clouds and rain, and didn't want to die.

"Let's just say that this method is too risky, but now it's better."

Some impatient ones have already started complaining.

Someone also talked about the solution, "In the final analysis, it's all because of Duke Huai. He has forced us into this situation because he doesn't intend to give us a way out, so let's just do the opposite, kill the Son of Heaven, kill Duke Huai, see. Who can stand in our way!"

"It's nice to say, if Duke Huai is so easy to deal with, and it's your turn to speak harshly, he would have died long ago with not even a bone left."

Everyone insisted on their own opinions, and the whole house quarreled.

The old man slapped the table with a slap and snapped, "Okay! What can you do if you are still fighting among yourself at this time."

"Everyone go back. Without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly. I will take care of it here, Prince Huai."

The old man sent people away, took a deep breath, his original prediction was correct, Xiao Beihuai was indeed the biggest block in the road.

He can follow King Huai's move with one move, and he doesn't know when, King Huai has so many available people, whether it's a border war or a local civil strife.

I still sit still like a mountain and sit firmly in the arena with him in the capital, pressing hard every step of the way.

Fortunately, he has been planning for many years and has placed people everywhere.

Now that you have come this far, you might as well put your hands a little heavier.

……

Xiao Beihuai and Su Jingqing were really tired after running for ten days in the suburbs of Beijing. When the news from Quzhou came, both of them heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, and they could proceed to the next step.

It's just that the plan still couldn't keep up with the changes, and the two who were going to the imperial mausoleum on time were called back to the city by an imperial decree.

The reason is that the emperor was poisoned, and it was still very poisonous, and it was at stake.

Xiao Beihuai changed his face on the spot, his whole body exuded air-conditioning, and the guards who came to proclaim the decree did not dare to lift their heads.

Then, of course, he hurried back to the city and entered the palace.

Xiao Beihuai has lost the so-called father-son relationship with the emperor, but it doesn't mean that he wants the emperor to die now, or to be poisoned to death.

Su Jingqing followed him together, and the two of them even rode their horses into the palace, and no one dared to stop them along the way.

When the emperor's bedchamber came, the imperial physician knelt down on the ground, and it was eerily quiet inside.

"Father!"

Xiao Beihuai called for someone, and stepped inside.

It turned out that the person lying on the bed was not right, and the emperor, who said in the imperial decree that his life was hanging by a thread, was standing by the bed in good order.

Xiao Beihuai frowned and double-checked carefully that the one lying on the bed was indeed Concubine Zhong Gui, and the emperor was staring coldly at a group of imperial physicians beside the bed with a straight face.

"You're back, pretty fast."

Hearing Xiao Beihuai's shout, the emperor immediately looked away. As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the room improved slightly, and the imperial physicians breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Beihuai looked at the emperor, "Didn't the imperial decree say you were poisoned?"

He stared, "Are you lying to me?"

Xiao Beihuai's eyes were dangerous, and the emperor immediately explained, "I didn't lie to you, the one who was almost lying on the bed was me."

Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Beihuai glanced at Concubine Zhong Gui again, and saw that the corner of her mouth was bleeding profusely, she was so weak that it was difficult to even breathe out, and she was hanging on her last breath.

"I'll explain to you later, why don't you hurry up and detoxify the imperial concubine's pulse again!" The emperor scolded the imperial physician.

A group of imperial physicians were forced to come forward again to check Concubine Zhong Gui's pulse, and Xu Cai watched over her, so the emperor could carefully explain to Xiao Beihuai what was going on.

"Concubine Zhong Guifei knew about the unfavorable thing about King Yi guarding the empress dowager's coffin, so she came to beg me for mercy every day, and asked me to call him back. Today, I happened to meet someone from the imperial dining room who brought me soup. She took it and brought it in. Here you are, before you left Beijing, didn’t you tell me to be careful. These days, I’ve been more diligent in food and drug testing than before. In order to make me happy, Concubine Zhong Guifei took the initiative to test the poison and drink it first after seeing that the silver needles were tested to be non-toxic. After taking two sips, the poison came out."

"This poison is coming fiercely. Before the imperial doctor arrived, the person is already like this. The imperial doctor can't diagnose what kind of poison it is. Now I can only hang myself with ginseng tablets."

The emperor finished the matter in one breath, and Su Jingqing and Xiao Beihuai breathed a sigh of relief after listening.

Concubine Zhong Gui was unlucky today, but Xu Cai, who usually tested poison, was lucky and got his life.

The emperor also explained the imperial decree to the two, "The person who poisoned me came for me. Before the news spread, I thought it would be better to catch him out, so it was written in the imperial decree that I was poisoned. "

Xiao Beihuai: "..."

Su Jingqing: "..."

For a moment, I didn't know if I wanted to praise the emperor for his cleverness.

"Don't go out of the palace today, just stay in the palace to wait for my illness, so that the poisoner will believe it."

Xiao Beihuai asked: "Aren't you sad? The one lying on the bed is your concubine."

The Son of Heaven looked back at Concubine Zhong Gui, she was obviously very weak, but there was still unwillingness in those eyes.

The emperor said, "I have had enough for her."

The Zhong family was convicted, he didn't implicate Xiao Yunyi or Concubine Zhong, he didn't even punish Concubine Zhong for the tricks she tried to bribe the jailer, and he didn't even confine Concubine Zhong, it was enough to give her face.

Concubine Zhong Gui repeatedly begged him for the affairs of the Zhong family and King Yi, and he never blamed him, but for today's incident, "Just take it as her fate."

The Son of Heaven is a little sad, but he thinks this is good. If the person dies, the events of the past can be settled, so that King Yi won't be involved, and he can let his eldest son stay with King Yi later.

Xiao Beihuai couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and looked at the emperor full of sarcasm.

"You really have always been such a person, ruthless and ungrateful."

The emperor was displeased, "Are you blaming me for the noble concubine?"

The Son of Heaven didn't understand Xiao Beihuai's thoughts, "Don't you hate her the most, and you must take her life?"

Xiao Beihuai shook his head, "No, I'm not blaming you for her," he just wasn't worth being a mother.

Xiao Beihuai also said, "You don't want to know who I hate the most."

Looking at Xiao Beihuai's reaction, the emperor had a guess that he didn't want to admit.

Su Jingqing pulled Xiao Beihuai, not wanting him to engage in a useless verbal dispute with the emperor, so he changed the subject and said, "It's better to just plan, it will be much faster than our plan."

"There is nothing more convenient than the crime of treason to ransack the family and exterminate the family."
