[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Once the matter is found out, the rest will not be covered.

Lin Hong found out clearly in Lingnan, and Empress Dowager Shen sent someone to quietly go to Lingnan to look for poisonous insects.

Lingnan is located in the southwest, with deep forests, high mountains and dense miasma, especially those poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants.The kind that Empress Dowager Shen sent people to look for is very small. If you don't pay attention, it is difficult to find with the naked eye, and it moves very fast. It especially likes to build a nest in a warm human body, and then inject its own venom into it. When it enters the human body, it sucks the blood of the human body for its own use, and the human body parasitized by it will gradually weaken and die after two or three months.

This kind of poisonous insect is extremely poisonous, and it is difficult to find it. The people of Empress Dowager Shen searched for three years in Lingnan before they found it, and delivered it to Empress Dowager Shen alive.

When Lin Jian got the news, he told Deping about it. Deping had led people to search for Fengxian Hall for a long time, almost turning Fengxian Hall upside down, but he didn't have any clue until Lin Jian's news came to him. Come on, Deping went to investigate again, only to find the traces that the poisonous insects had hidden in Fengxian Hall.

Now that there is such news, the source and type of poisonous insects are naturally no secret.

However, it is a pity that this kind of poisonous insect is rare in the world, and it is highly poisonous. Not to mention the place where the Empress Dowager Shen is, even the locals in Lingnan will die if they encounter it. There is no antidote to relieve it. Its toxicity, because this kind of poisonous insect is in the deep mountains, it is usually difficult to come across, so the local people in Lingnan are very careful, try not to go to the place where the poisonous insect lives.

Lu Yuan judged that there was no way to detoxify Emperor Chengsheng, and he could only try his best to relieve the uncomfortable symptoms caused by the spread of poison on Emperor Chengsheng. Lin Jian sent a message to Lingnan, asking people to find a good medicine for detoxification, but there was no cure there. Progress, even if you find the local old doctor in Lingnan who has the most research on mountain poisonous insects, you can't find any solution.

In a word, there is no second result when encountering such poisonous insects.It can only live for two or three months, and eventually weakens and dies.

Empress Dowager Shen was determined to put Emperor Chengsheng to death.

For such a big matter, Emperor Chengsheng did not intend to make it public in order to avoid making everyone feel uneasy. Few people knew the inside story. Emperor Chengsheng also strictly ordered Lin Jian not to tell Lin Hong about it.

Lin Hong was in Lingnan to investigate the matter of Ru Shijiao. His situation was already very dangerous. After all, the Empress Dowager Shen had been planning for ten years, and her base was in Lingnan. So many people came out, but who knew how many people were there in the dark?Now that Empress Dowager Shen knows that Emperor Chengsheng is 'ill', she knows that she has succeeded, so there will be a next step.

In order to keep Lin Hong safe in Lingnan, Emperor Chengsheng forbade Lin Jian to tell Lin Hong about this, lest Lin Hong would become confused if he knew about it.Since there is no cure for this poison, Emperor Chengsheng has made some psychological preparations. Others are still worried about it, but Emperor Chengsheng has already made arrangements for the future.

Now, it is the final game between Emperor Chengsheng and Empress Dowager Shen.

Now that the evidence has been found, it's time to close this round.

The royal queen mother murdered her parents and her son, and the prince plotted for ten years to murder his father. These deeds are even more shocking than the previous eldest prince's treason and such teaching thugs to make trouble, and they are even more detrimental to the royal family's dignity. It is not appropriate to make public announcements, and now that the matter has not been decided, Emperor Chengsheng is even more unwilling to disclose the inside information to the public, or let people find out a little bit of information.

Empress Dowager Shen stayed in Wutai Mountain for ten years, and King Duan was with her. Not only did King Duan know about Empress Dowager Shen's plan, but he also participated in it all.Empress Dowager Shen took such pains to plan, one is for the future of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, and the other is for the future of Duan Wang.

King Duan knew everything, and when Empress Dowager Shen was inconvenient to show up, King Duan would settle the matter in private.The grandparent and grandson cooperated well, and in the past ten years, this chess game has been laid out bit by bit.

Emperor Chengsheng didn't care much about Prince Duan at first, and Emperor Chengsheng was heartbroken when the eldest prince conspired against him, but Prince Duan had been with the Queen Mother for the past ten years, so he really didn't get close to Emperor Chengsheng. The relationship between father and son is not that deep.

Knowing what King Duan had done, Emperor Chengsheng was still disappointed. Instead of seeing King Duan again, he found an excuse to make people secretly go to King Duan's mansion, and took control of the entire mansion of King Duan.

After the matter is over, he will deal with King Duan again.

The matter has become clear. Since Emperor Chengsheng knows the inside story, he will not let the matter develop like this. He must deal with it.He also has a charter in his heart on how to arrange these things, but before making the decree, Emperor Chengsheng wants to see the Queen Mother Shen again.

He has something to say to Queen Mother Shen face to face.

Regarding the matter of Emperor Chengsheng being carried back to Qinzheng Hall after coming out of Fengxian Hall, someone arranged by Empress Dowager Shen sent the news to Empress Dowager Shen immediately.

At that time, Empress Dowager Shen was sitting on the couch and drinking medicine.

She is getting old, and she used too much ice for the coolness in summer. For two consecutive months, almost every day, she went to the Buddhist hall to kneel and chant sutras in front of the Buddha for several hours. She has basically been kneeling in the Buddhist hall for the past seven days. For an elderly person, such fatigue is bound to make people sick.

Even though the Empress Dowager Shen was ill, she was still in good spirits, and she didn't ask anyone to serve her. She drank the medicine soup by herself with a medicine bowl. movement.

"Since the Holy Majesty came back from Fengxian Hall, he has never come out again. The whole palace has been checked by the people around the Holy Majesty. All the palaces are very strict, not to mention the Qinzheng Hall, but others. In the palace, I couldn't find anything. I only know that Lu Yuanpan has been waiting in the side hall of Qinzheng Hall all day long. The Holy Majesty thinks that he is a little seriously ill. I don't want to ask for peace. I gave it to the crown prince, and I haven’t seen the Holy Majesty deal with government affairs.”

The nanny slowed down, and then whispered, "Next, what is the queen mother going to do?"

Emperor Chengsheng spared everyone to pay his respects. Looking at this appearance, he was indeed seriously ill. But for this reason, King Duan could not enter the palace to see the Queen Mother at will. It was too quiet over there in the government hall, and it was inevitable to make people feel uneasy.

Empress Dowager Shen frowned, but she didn't think wildly like the nuns beside her.

She put down the medicine bowl in her hand, and said calmly: "Since the thing has been put in, there is absolutely no reason to let it go. You also said that the emperor looked bad when he came out of Fengxian Hall, if he was just sick How could Lu Yuanju stay in the Palace of Qinzheng and not leave? Come to think of it, we succeeded."

"Yan'er was prevented from entering the palace. There are many people in the whole palace secretly staring at the Shou'an Palace. They are not afraid even if you come forward, and they are not sure. It is our plan that has leaked. But even if it is really revealed, so what? Things have come to this juncture. After taking this last step, no matter what, we can only continue to go on. Things have to be done according to the established plan. Wait a few more months, in short, we can’t let them succeed.”

"The Ai family has been planning for decades, so we can't just let it go by the wayside."

The two masters and servants were talking here, when it was reported that Emperor Chengsheng had come, Empress Dowager Shen frowned, and signaled the nurse beside her to remove the medicine bowl, leaving her alone to talk to Emperor Chengsheng.

"Looking at it this way, the emperor is afraid that he came to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes. Forget it, it won't work here at Ai's house, and it won't work at Yan'er's place either. At this point, it depends on what the emperor has to say. If he knows everything, why not Can you kill Aijia?"

Emperor Chengsheng asked Lu Yuan to give him some medicine, so that he had enough strength and spirit to support him to see Queen Mother Shen.

Emperor Chengsheng walked into the inner hall and saw Empress Dowager Shen leaning on the bed, Emperor Chengsheng didn't speak, let alone salute Empress Dowager Shen, and sat directly on the round stool beside the bed.

Empress Dowager Shen glanced at Emperor Chengsheng: "The emperor seems to be in good spirits today."

Emperor Chengsheng lowered his eyes: "Thanks to the Queen Mother. I still have some time."

Before Madam Shen could speak again, Emperor Chengsheng raised his eyes to look at her, and said word by word: "I have secretly summoned the prince back to Beijing, and I ordered officials to deal with the Huaiyin matter. When the prince comes back, I will go down I am in poor spirits and in poor health, so I want to go to the royal garden to live and recuperate. The prince is deeply obedient to me, and will definitely be able to uphold my will to govern the government and stick to the principles of the court. If I want to pass on the throne to the prince, I will do it with my hands An overlord."

"At that time, the Empress Dowager will move out of Shou'an Palace and live in the garden together with me. The Empress Dowager has been thinking too much over the years, she should live in a place with a pure heart, and should not interact with outsiders so as not to disturb the Empress Dowager's cultivation."

Emperor Chengsheng didn't even call his mother's queen, and he kept claiming to be the queen mother, and said such things again, what did the Queen Mother Shen not understand?

"Is the emperor going to confine Ai's family? Will the Shou'an Palace be used by the queen?"

"No," said Chengsheng Emperor, "this Shou'an Palace is too dirty, I won't give it to the empress to live in. After the empress dowager leaves, it will be empty here. As for the empress, she will naturally be with me. In the future, I will return to the palace. In the middle, it is also a new palace, and will not live here again."

Emperor Chengsheng only denied that the Queen Mother would live in Shou'an Palace, but he did not deny that he wanted to confine Empress Dowager Shen.

Empress Dowager Shen was not surprised by this result, even after hearing Emperor Chengsheng's words, Empress Dowager Shen was not too moved.

"It seems that the emperor knows everything."

Empress Dowager Shen lowered her eyes slightly, and various emotions flashed through her eyes, and what she remembered in her heart was what she had done in these years.

When the late emperor was ill, she prayed in front of the Buddha. As long as the late emperor recovered from his illness, she would go to Mount Wutai to serve the Buddha for ten years. Her prayer had been planned long ago.

What she wants to exchange for this prayer is the trust of the first emperor, and the opportunity and space for her to act alone.

When the late emperor was there, although he had the intention of weakening the power of the four kings and eight princes, but because the four kings and eight princes still had some power at that time, no one in the hands of the late emperor could use them, and civil servants were even useless. It is impossible for the mind to realize it.

The people in the four kings and eight princes are all well, so the Empress Dowager Shen just stood still and did not go to Mount Wutai.

Until 12 years ago, Empress Dowager Shen felt that if she didn't act again, people in the four kings and eight princes, including their Shen family, would not be able to keep their power.

At that time, Emperor Chengsheng had been on the throne for 20 years. During these 20 years, Emperor Chengsheng regained Lingnan and restored Anhui, expanded the territory of the Great Zhou, and had a confidant like Lin Hong. A group of civil servants like Yu Cheng were even more highly valued by Emperor Chengsheng.

At this time, Empress Dowager Shen felt that she needed to leave the capital, and she needed to take Duan Wang away from the court and go to Wutai Mountain to plan her plan.

Concubine Shen's matter was controlled by Empress Dowager Shen.Concubine Shen is in poor health, but not to that extent.The reason for making such a play is that Empress Dowager Shen wanted to find a proper reason to take King Duan away.

Empress Dowager Shen made a plan early in the morning.Among the princes, only King Duan can inherit the throne, and the rest of the princes cannot.

Empress Dowager Shen's initial plan was to take advantage of the people's aspirations. The people believed that she and King Duan were people with a deep relationship with Buddhism, and then let the thugs of the Rushi religion make trouble everywhere, and never formed a relationship between Emperor Chengsheng and the prince who was unpopular. Illusion, and then take its place.

It is also part of the plan to lead the prince out of the capital.

It's just that this plan was destroyed by Lin Jian's suggestion, and that's what happened next.

Since this method cannot be used to obtain the throne, the Empress Dowager Shen had no choice but to attack Emperor Chengsheng.

Emperor Chengsheng fixedly looked at the Empress Dowager Shen: "I am the only son of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager treats me so cruelly in order to protect someone who should not be preserved."

"Has the queen mother thought about it, even if there is no me, the four princes and eight princes will not last long. If you do many injustices, you will die yourself. But sooner or later."

When Empress Dowager Shen heard the words, she smiled suddenly, and said softly: "Does the emperor think that they should not be preserved?"

"But in the eyes of the Ai family, they are people who cannot be moved. Even if there are some inappropriate things, they should not be able to do so. The four princes and eight princes regard it as one. Even if they want to weaken it, they have to do it themselves. If it is from outside If it is weakened, it will be lost in the hands of the emperor sooner or later. □The family raised by the emperor, how can the Ai family let them be lost in the hands of the emperor?"

"As long as Aijia is alive, you can't watch this scene happen in front of Aijia."

The implication is that the Empress Dowager Shen is dead, and she will let her go when she is out of sight.

Even if you are a mother and child, if you have different positions, you can't talk about it if you don't speculate.

Empress Dowager Shen tried her best to poison her son, which cut off the last bit of love between mother and child.

But Empress Dowager Shen seemed to feel that this move was not enough. After a moment of silence, she stabbed a knife in Emperor Chengsheng's heart.

"When the first emperor passed away, he went peacefully. When the first emperor left, the Ai family and the emperor were in front of the first emperor. But do you know the emperor? The Ai family has the final say when the first emperor dies. If the first emperor doesn't go, he will take action The families that are attached to the four kings and eight males have been rectified. How can the Ai family let him do it?"

"The Ai family used a little trick, and the late emperor passed away due to illness. In fact, he could have lived another three or five years."

When Emperor Chengsheng heard the words, his heart went cold.

madman.he thinks.

His biological/mother is a complete lunatic.
