Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]

British Duke Li Da is the father-in-law of the King of Wei, and even he is about to give up the King of Wei, so it's really hard to say about the others who haven't opened their mouths to intercede for the emperor.

Just at this time, the voice of the eunuch shouting for the arrival of the queen mother came from the door.

At this moment, the entire court was silent like a cicada.

The emperor smiled, then stood up.

The queen mother walked in from outside the hall. She was a little depressed now. She had been locked up for a few days and had no contact with the outside world. This was a difficult thing for her who was used to controlling power.

However, in her heart, the emperor must be having a hard time these few days. The reputation of imprisoning the empress dowager is not good for the emperor. She believes that the emperor will not be able to resist the pressure from the people if he releases her today.

The queen mother raised her head and looked at the young emperor above. The emperor was still a little tender!

"The queen mother please sit aside." The emperor said.

He Xu went down the steps, stretched out his hand to meet the Queen Mother, this time the position was not next to the dragon chair, but under the dragon chair.

To the trembling old dukes, the emperor casually said, "Give the old prince a seat."

When the eunuchs moved the chairs, the old prince and the old country sat down one by one after thanking them.

The queen mother's face was a little cold, and she said: "Emperor, I don't know what is the reason for inviting Ai's family to come over? Why do you bother the elder of the clan to come here? When he is old, he should want to be happy. Isn't it afraid of accidents if you come here?"

Before the emperor could speak, the old prince snorted coldly, "There are unfilial descendants in the Lu family, shouldn't I come here?" The old prince was the late emperor's uncle, and the emperor had to call him uncle. The queen mother was originally just the late emperor. The more favored concubine, let alone the old prince's sarcastic remarks, even if she scolds her, she has to bear it.

Moreover, the old prince is still the patriarch of the Lu family, and the Queen Mother dare not make him angry when he is in charge of the Lu family's genealogy.

The Empress Dowager hurriedly kept her head down, "Uncle, that's not what my niece and daughter-in-law mean, my niece and daughter-in-law..."

The old prince interrupted: "You don't need to say anything, this king can decide for himself."

The queen mother could only swallow the words in her mouth, and smiled embarrassingly.

"Okay, British Lord, you continue to talk." The old prince knocked on the crutch and pointed to the British Lord.

The others secretly gave a thumbs up in their hearts, the emperor is tall, here only the old prince can suppress the queen mother, with the old prince here, he is not afraid of the queen mother messing around.

On the contrary, the emperor was a little happy. This uncle was still a child. He remembered that this uncle told him when he first came to the throne. success.

Seeing the Duke of England coming out, the queen mother finally had a smile on her face. After all, they are in-laws, and they can still be relied on at critical times.

She wanted to wait for this incident to pass, treat Li Yan better, and stop urging her to have a child. After all, she is still young, and it is not impossible to have children in the future!As for the women who gave their sons earlier, they should be given medicine first, and wait for Li Yan to give birth to a child.

The Duke of England did not look at the queen mother, and once again faced the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I only have one daughter, and now she is making a fuss at home..."

The queen mother is full of joy, this is only right, the British government holds the military power in its hands, and the emperor can only be jealous if there is a lot of trouble.

"...so I implore the emperor to look at this humble minister and let the minister's daughter reconcile with the king of Wei..."

The Empress Dowager's smile froze on her face, she widened her eyes in disbelief, and then stood up suddenly, "Li Da, what do you mean?" You want to divorce without saving her child?It's not so fast to cross the river and tear down the bridge!Don't even think about it, he won't even think about it as long as she is there!

"The Ai family does not agree!" The queen mother stared at the emperor, and said viciously: "If you dare to agree, the emperor, the Ai family will be bumped to death in this Hall of Supreme Harmony, and let the world see."

However, the corner of the emperor's mouth curled up, and he was fair to the British: "It is reasonable for the queen mother to not accept it for a while, Ai Qing, don't worry, we will talk about this matter later."

The queen mother said with a grim expression: "No way, Ai's family said no way, Li Da, your daughter was born to my son, and she is my son's ghost when she dies. Don't try to leave my son in this life!"

Facing the queen mother who was like a crazy woman, the British prince had no expression on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, if this is the case, then he would trouble King Wei to die. Mind the daughter becoming a widow.

The empress dowager still had an angry look on her face, and the old men sat on the chairs with their eyes closed, pretending not to have seen the scene just now, and the British Duke returned to his seat.Other people who originally wanted to help the King of Wei withdrew their minds. Even the British Duke couldn't wait to leave the wrecked ship of the King of Wei. How could they have the guts to get involved with the King of Wei again?

I'm afraid that at that time, losing an official job is a small matter, but losing a life is a big deal!

Seeing that no one in the court spoke any more, the emperor looked at Marquis Wei Wu, and Marquis Wei Wu didn't bother to watch the show, so he hurried out, "Your Majesty, I have an answer."

"Precise play."

"I confiscated 23 taels of official silver in the second year of Yonghe and 14 taels of refurbished silver in Wei Wangfu. There were also thirteen account books that recorded the whereabouts of the refurbished silver. The property of Wei Wangfu has been counted and sealed."

The emperor nodded, "When the case is settled, the ledger will be burned!"

The ministers immediately shouted that the emperor is wise, without these ledgers, they were truly freed from that layer of shackles. At first they thought the emperor was just talking, but they didn't expect to announce it directly in the hall. This is no joke.

The Empress Dowager looked at the duo with an ugly face, she did not expect the emperor to be so courageous, knowing that such a large sum of money was embezzled by others, she would let it go.She looked at the courtiers below, all avoiding her eyes.For the first time, the queen mother realized that some things had been out of her control, and her son might really have fallen this time.

"Where are the Minister of Dali Temple, the left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment?" the emperor asked with a glance down.

Four people came out.

The emperor asked, "How is the case of King Wei's robbery going?"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments was the first to speak, "If you go back to the emperor, although King Wei admits the matter, he will not plead guilty!"

For a while, no one spoke in the court, and almost no one dared to believe that King Wei dared to say such a thing. This was clearly trampling on the national law and treating the national law like a child's play.

The emperor was not surprised. Wei Wang was favored by the queen mother and was lawless. Although he appeared to be a gentleman, he was arrogant in his bones. He must have regarded this incident as a game.

The queen mother is also pale, her son she knows, this silly child still thinks he has enough backbone, as long as no one dares to touch him with those accounts, don't you know that things are out of the control of their mother and son now, and they still carry it hard at this time Then he completely pushed himself to the point of no return.

At this time, the emperor smiled, and he turned to ask the queen mother, "Queen mother, I remember, you told me last time that 'the prince breaks the law and the common people are the same crime', right?"

The queen mother looked closely at him, "Emperor, this is the only son of the Ai family, are you sure you want to force him to die?"

The old prince beside him coughed, but the queen mother ignored it.

"Queen..." The emperor's title changed back, "Queen, I am the father of the king and the father of the people in the world. If I can't be the master of the people, how can I be worthy of you and my ancestors? People-oriented, the people are more important than the king."

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, you are not the only woman who should take care of court affairs. The emperor knows that you are filial, but it has always been the ancestor's precept that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so why don't you invite the queen mother down!" the old prince said impatiently.

This is really a god assist!

The emperor immediately looked aside, "Did you hear that? Don't ask the queen mother to go down!"

The queen mother shook off the eunuch who wanted to arrest her, and finally softened her tone, "Emperor, King Wei is your younger brother, let him be spared this time because he is still young!"

The emperor looked at her condescendingly, "Queen Mother, don't worry, I am not the kind of person who murders relatives."

Only then did the Queen Mother leave satisfied, as long as her son survived, there would always be a chance.

The queen mother left, and the early court continued. The emperor only asked how to judge Wei Wang's case, and let the ministers discuss it.

This discussion was fruitless all morning, and the emperor could only announce his retirement.

After the court, the Duke of England approached Wei Wuhou and asked, "I heard that Mrs. Wei Wuhou has passed away for three years. Does Wei Wuhou have any plans to continue?"

Marquis Weiwu touched his bare chin, "Why, the Duke of the State is going to be a matchmaker for you?"

The British Duke smiled kindly, "My Duke has a daughter, and the new widow is at home. If the mighty Marquis doesn't mind, my Duke really wants to recognize you as his son-in-law."

The mighty Marquis smiled and said: "I am naturally happy..." He slapped the snake on the pole, leaned over and said affectionately: "I just heard that the husband of my future daughter-in-law is still here, how can I be called a new widow?"

The British Duke said casually: "Just kill it." His tone was no different from crushing an ant to death.

The mighty Hou is happy, "This relationship is good, then I will wait to call the father-in-law of the country!"

The two looked at each other tacitly and smiled.

The next day, the queen mother was still waiting for her son to come out in Ningshou Palace, when she got the news that King Wei committed suicide in fear of crime last night, the queen mother vomited and passed out after hearing it.

When the queen mother woke up and opened her eyes to stare at the yellow curtain, she lay on the bed, knowing that there were people watching her all around, and now only this square inch could allow her to vent, her son was gone, and there was no hope for her life up!

The queen mother was full of hatred, clutching the bed sheet, she wanted the emperor to bury her son with her, and she wanted the Lu clan to bury her son with her!

When the emperor knew that King Wei had committed suicide in fear of crime, he was furious, which completely disrupted his plan.

"Decree to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

But the emperor knew that it didn't help, presumably all these clues were erased.Well now, without King Wei, the queen mother must be in a hurry to jump the wall. He hasn't found out how many forces the queen mother still has in her hands, and now everything has been disrupted.

"Your Majesty!" He Xu ran in.

Behind the emperor, "what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, there is a message from the Queen Mother, saying that the Queen Mother wants to see King Wei again."

The emperor frowned, "Send someone to send the queen mother to Wei Wang's mansion, make sure not to make any mistakes!" Although the death of King Wei is not a pity, it is unreasonable not to let the queen mother go to see King Wei. I have something to say again.

"Yes." He Xu agreed, and turned to do it.

But the emperor was knocking on the table feeling restless, Luo Er has been in the imperial mausoleum for several days, why hasn't he come back yet?Could something have happened?But now he is afraid that the queen mother will jump over the wall in a hurry, and he will not be able to find her at all, and it is impossible to let other people go. The news is easy to leak, which is even more dangerous. If the Huling family is attracted, they don't care. All those who broke into the emperor's mausoleum had to be wiped out.

The queen mother was expressionless when she heard the report, and when He Xu finished speaking, she got up directly, "Okay, since the emperor is so generous, the Ai family must leave the palace now, and he will not stop him."

He Xu accompanied him with a smiling face, "Empress Dowager, when are you going to leave, the servants will be waiting for you during this time."

The Queen Mother didn't even raise her eyelids, she said so sweetly, but she came to monitor her, she snorted coldly, and walked out of the gate, He Xu quickly followed.

It is not so easy for the queen mother to go out of the palace. The phoenix chariot, the guard of honor for traveling, etc. all need to be prepared in advance.However, because the incident happened suddenly this time, they took a light car and only brought a few people. They first took a sedan chair to the gate of the palace, and then changed into a more convenient carriage to rush to Wei Wangfu.

White lanterns had already been hung up in Wei Wang's mansion, only the servants were left inside wearing white cloths, their faces looked like dead parents.

In fact, the Palace of the King of Wei can only be regarded as a palace if the King of Wei is there. Without the King of Wei, there is no heir. Now these people are like duckweed, and they don't know where they will go in the next moment.

Knowing that the Empress Dowager arrived, the old housekeeper ran over with tears streaming down his face, "See the Empress Dowager..."

He cried out aggrieved directly.

The Empress Dowager looked at the simple coffin shed, and there were a few people who were mourning, and she suddenly felt overwhelmed. She asked the housekeeper, "Where is Li Yan?"

The steward replied: "The princess hasn't come back since she returned to the Duke's mansion."

The queen mother said with a gloomy face: "Go to a few people and invite them back. The Ai family wants her to be a filial piety for my son!" Then she thought that there was no one who threw a basin when her son died, so she said: "Notify the princes and let them They send over boys under ten years old, and the Ai family will choose one to adopt to King Wei."

The housekeeper hurriedly responded, took a few servants, and went out aggressively.

He Xu looked at the queen mother's every move and didn't speak. The emperor told him that as long as the queen mother's behavior is not too outrageous, he should only come to watch with his eyes.

Here the Queen Mother took a piece of Prince Wei's dress, went to the highest building of the palace, stood in the northwest direction, waved the clothes and called Wei Wang's name to summon the soul.

Those who received the queen mother's order gave mixed reactions to the palace. Except for King Ning, the other palaces were all overjoyed. If they could adopt him to King Wei, they would be the princes for nothing.However, only King Ning has the most sons among these palaces, so the first reaction of other palaces is to prevent King Ning from bringing a smoky little carrot head.

"In order to show fairness, let's just bring one kid there..." This idea was immediately approved by the palaces.

After the negotiation, King Ning was notified directly.

However, King Ning wished to put this matter back directly. The Queen Mother is crazy, to ask the heirs of the Lu family to wear hemp and filial piety for King Wei, it is a dream!

But now the Queen Mother didn't give in, but gave orders directly. King Ning snorted coldly, and directly hugged his youngest son who was not yet a year old. What the hell is the Queen Mother planning.

Not only the palaces, but also the housekeepers went door-to-door to notify the ministers of the third grade and above, to inform them of the date of mourning, and to make them ready to come to pay respects.

No matter what the people who received the obituary thought, they didn't dare to neglect when they heard that the Queen Mother was in the Wei Palace.

The housekeeper went to the British government in person, and Princess Wei cried to her mother immediately after hearing the news, "Daughter, don't go. If you go to the queen mother, the old witch will definitely kill her daughter and bury her with King Wei!" Wine solved her.

The Duke of England walked in, "Go, why don't you go?" He said in a loud voice, "I still have to go in a fair manner, so that the world can see how beautiful my wife of the Li family is, and we don't fear other people's opinions. We, the Li family, don't want to join forces with such rebellious and immoral things."

Li Yan was still a little worried, and the Duke of Ying said again: "I have asked the mighty Marquis to take care of you, you can go boldly, he will definitely watch the Queen Mother's every move, and will not hurt you."

Only then did Li Yan feel relieved, no one in the capital now knew that Marquis Wu and the Queen Mother were life and death enemies, and both wanted to kill each other.With him around, the Empress Dowager would not dare to strike lightly, she just needs to be careful and bring a maid who is proficient in medicine to keep a close eye on the diet.

After Li Yan went back, only the British Duke and his wife were left in the house.

Mrs. Li's face was a bit embarrassed, "Husband, do you really want to promise Yan'er to the mighty Marquis? Is he too old?"

The British public reassured her, "It's okay, it's just a teenager. And this time the emperor reused the mighty Marquis, and he planned to revive him again. In the future, there will be times when the mighty Marquis and his family are prosperous. My British government will be punished no matter what. If the king of Wei is implicated, he will inevitably have to abandon his military power and bide his time, and having a mighty and mighty Marquis as his son-in-law can also prevent him from falling down in the future.” Lost power is not so easy to get back, it’s not that there is no such thing as keeping a low profile and raising it directly I can't afford it.

If the king of Wei is really capable of overthrowing the emperor, the Duke of England may not be able to support him, but the king of Wei is really a piece of mud that cannot be supported. All the king's backers collapsed. If he didn't break up with the king of Wei first, what awaited the British government could only be a catastrophe.

Although the emperor did not allow his daughter to reconcile with the king of Wei in court, he said that it was just a statement in court, and the British government was completely unaware of the king of Wei.In this way, the emperor had no reason to take the British government into action.To be honest, the Duke of England was a little thankful that this incident broke out in advance. His daughter had only been married for a year. If it was a few years later, he would not be able to speak clearly.

King Ning carried his fat son to Wei Wang's mansion, and the queen mother twitched her mouth when she saw the baby who was still nursing.

"King Ning, the Ai family has something to tell you."

Ignoring the sudden changes in the expressions of the other princes, the queen mother directly took the boy from Prince Ning's arms.

King Ning also had a bad face, "Empress Dowager, this kid can't walk yet, but he doesn't have the ability to break it for King Wei, and wear hemp and mourning!" He chose this kid here because he wanted to tell others that this Does he not get involved?There was something wrong with the queen mother, so she pulled him out directly, causing the other brothers to stab him directly with their eyes like knives.

The queen mother teased the child, and then returned, "Of course the Ai family knows, don't worry, the Ai family will choose other children to adopt to King Wei, but the Ai family has something to say to King Ning."

When the other princes heard that they didn't directly choose the children of Ning Wang's family, they immediately looked good.

Although they were curious about what the Queen Mother would say to King Ning, they still left to make room. In order to make a good impression on the Queen Mother, these people directly took the children to dress King Wei in mourning, hoping that the Queen Mother would choose her son to throw a basin.

When the surroundings were cleared, King Ning hugged his fat son tightly and stared at the queen mother vigilantly.

The queen mother ignored King Ning, but stared at He Xu, "You also step back, the Ai family has something to say to King Ning."

Before He Xu could speak, the queen mother said again: "Why, the emperor now restricts who Ai's family can talk to. Believe it or not, Ai's family is now going out to tell the story?"

When He Xu heard this, he could only bow and retreat.He walked not far away, although he couldn't hear the sound, he could still see the scene inside.

The queen mother asked other people to retreat. Seeing this, King Ning could only let the servants around him carry his son down. After the people left, the queen mother said bluntly: "Prince Ning, the emperor's Gu is the result of you. ?”

Although her words were interrogative, her eyes carried affirmation.

King Ning was not afraid, and suddenly said: "It is my king. It seems that the one who helped me at that time must be the Queen Mother." King Ning was first rejected by the late emperor because of a bad move, and was the first to be thrown out. Beijing, but fortunately, Emperor Xian didn't tell what King Ning had done out of face, which gave King Ning time to turn things around.

Later, he accidentally learned that the first emperor's position was not correct, so he recruited many capable people and strangers in the fief, and some of them were from the Miao nationality.

King Ning was delighted to see Lie Xin, and then had a whim, asking these people to create a Gu that could make people infertile.

Originally, he had no hope, but he did not expect to be pulled out by these people. Later, the first prince died for no reason, and the first emperor intended to appoint the third prince Lu Fang as the prince. King Ning simply took advantage of that time to put down the Gu on Lu. .It didn't work at first, but I don't know what happened, but it happened again and again.

King Ning knew that there was still a force in the palace who wanted to deal with Lu Fang. Over the years, he had a vague idea that this force belonged to the queen mother. Otherwise, the emperor had no heirs for several years, and she was not in a hurry. Watching him give birth, this attitude fully shows that she knows the emperor's physical condition.

"I don't know, what's the use of the Queen Mother talking about this matter?" King Ning asked with a rascal face.

The Queen Mother also intervened in this matter, so he was unscrupulous, and he was not worried at all about the Queen Mother threatening him with this matter.

The queen mother laughed, and said, "Do you think the emperor has a god like Mrs. Qing around him, can you guarantee that the Gu is still there?"

King Ning's complexion suddenly changed, and there was no Gu, which means that the emperor's fertility has recovered, and the birth of a prince will be indispensable in the harem in the future, and all his previous plans have come to nothing.

"What do you want?" King Ning was upset, but he still dealt with the queen patiently. To be honest, the queen mother without King Wei was like a poisonous snake without teeth. He really didn't think much of it.

"How about cooperating with you and sending you to the throne?"

King Ning's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help swallowing, "Are you really willing to help me?"

The queen mother nodded, "The boy Lu Fang said he would let my son go, but then he sent someone to kill him. The Ai family wants to let him be buried with him! How about it? The Ai family will cooperate with you to take the emperor's life, and the throne will be yours!"

King Ning breathed heavily, and clapped hands with the Queen Mother, "Deal!"

The Empress Dowager looked at King Ning's delusional look, and dismissed it from the bottom of her heart. She wanted the emperor's life, but she also wanted the land of the Lu family.

"What should we do?" King Ning imagined how beautiful he would be after sitting on the dragon chair, and couldn't wait to ask.

The queen mother smiled, hiding the blood under the smile, "Aijia has a way, you can use the royal blood to curse the emperor."

King Ning's expression froze, and he panicked, "You plan to use spells? You also need the royal blood. What do you want to do?"

The queen mother secretly angered that King Ning was too timid, so she could only change her mind and said: "Just take a bowl of blood from each person. There is a way here at Aijia, which can take blood without hurting anyone. The emperor has no parents and children, so he can only use other members of the royal family Curse him with the blood of a boy, and only the blood of a boy will be effective." If Prince Ning had the most heirs among the kings, she would not cooperate with this idiot!

Only then did King Ning feel relieved, and he said generously: "Then let's go to the palace first, the boy of the Wang family is as strong as a calf, and he is not afraid of losing blood." , he was reluctant to let his child draw blood.

Those are the cabbages he worked hard for, and they are his political capital, and now they can only be used as blood cattle.

The queen mother said with satisfaction: "The Ai family will send someone to fetch it later. After my son's first seven days, the Ai family will take you to see how the emperor was cursed to death." How did this country collapse!

The author has something to say: there is one more chapter, I will post it after finishing writing, about three o'clock, don't wait, just read it tomorrow.I love you
