When Liang Guanjing got up early and came back from practice, Su Mingyue had just got up to wash up.

"You are still too clean." Liang Guanjing's freshly washed hair was still wet and hanging behind her head. She was lying on the concubine's couch in the corridor to dry her hair, and Lianxiang came to comb it for her.

Su Mingyue put only one Bu Yao in her coiled hair, and after hearing Liang Guanjing say that she was too clean, she inserted a row of three purple gold hibiscus hairpins on the other side, "Is that so?"

"It's interesting."

Su Mingyue said: "It looks like the jewelry shop proprietress's dress is peddling along the street."

Liang Guanjing laughed: "Which jewelry shop owner is like you, I guarantee her business is booming."

Liang Guanjing looked at her from behind, and the more she looked at her, the more she felt shockingly beautiful, "Do you know what is the most important thing to see if a woman is beautiful?"

"Eye?"

Liang Guanjing shook his head, "I think it's the neck, especially the back of the neck."

Su Mingyue turned her head slightly, half-hidden her face with her wide sleeves, and deliberately made a charming smile, "Ah Yuan is the best at complimenting others, whichever side of me is facing you, you can praise my side."

Liang Guanjing said: "I'm just telling the truth." After finishing speaking, she came over with her half-dry hair hanging loose. Su Mingyue didn't dare to make a claim when a memorial was presented last night, so she took it back to Yongming Palace and asked Liang Guanjing what he meant. At this moment, the vermilion pen was still resting on the desks on the side of the dressing table.Liang Guanjing picked up the vermilion pen and told Su Mingyue to sit still.

"What are you doing?" Su Mingyue sat obediently, not daring to move, just looking at the vermilion pen with a smile.

"Today I am the birthday star, and you are my birthday gift. I have to dress you up." After finishing speaking, he began to paint on the back of Su Mingyue's neck, "Whenever there is a celebration in the Fan Palace, the concubines in each palace always dig it out. Empty to dress up, face is covered with flowers, peach blossom makeup, and plum makeup, a face painted like a monkey's buttocks, I don't know where it is beautiful. It's still my Korean wife, with hibiscus coming out of clear water , Naturally go to carve. But if you can draw a flower here on the back of your neck, it will attract people to find you here, lest people only look at your face and ignore this more beautiful scenery."

"What did you draw?"

"A red lotus flower." Liang Guanjing finished drawing carefully, and asked Lianxiang to hold a mirror to look behind her, so that when Su Mingyue looked in the vanity mirror, she could also see what she couldn't see.

"Is it the icing on the cake?" Liang Guanjing waited for the compliment.

"What kind of makeup is this?"

Liang Guanjing said: "This kind of makeup is often seen on the murals of those flying fairies. It might as well be called Feitian makeup."

Su Mingyue was very satisfied, "It's really pretty. Ah Yuan combs his hair, and I'll draw one for you too."

Liang Guanjing shook his head, "I have practiced kung fu all the year round, and my shoulders are too broad, which makes my neck look ugly."

"Why? I don't like the way I have shaved shoulders, and the clothes can't support it." Seeing that Liang Guanjing still refused, she didn't force her, "I see that your collarbone is very beautiful, why don't you draw it here?" She pointed at it as she spoke. .

Liang Guanjing looked down and felt satisfied, then raised her head so that Su Mingyue could draw.

"The meaning of the lock master's long-lived marriage, this makeup can be called marriage makeup. I wish the empress and empress are as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Nanshan. Every year will have today, every year will have today, youth will last forever, and a thousand years will flow forever."

Su Mingyue finished drawing for her, "Are you satisfied after looking at it?"

Liang Guanjing said: "I will draw a lotus for you, and you will also draw a lotus for me?"

Su Mingyue's face darkened, and she dropped the ink pen, "It's Lotus!"

After the two finished dressing up, they ordered the maids and eunuchs to go to the various palaces and courtyards to invite each other. The concubines will leave from Dong'an Gate and join the emperor who will come out from Daming Gate after the next dynasty. The Shenji Battalion is training and shooting targets.

Hongling Cailian followed Su Mingyue's sedan chair on both sides, and the imperial concubine Su Jingxian was the empress in front of her. It was late July, and the air was slightly chilly. Su Mingyue used a round fan to drive away the heat , side said: "Fortunately, the empress was born in July. If it had been a month earlier, I am afraid that the grand occasion today cannot afford to toss about it."

Hong Ling smiled and said: "Princess Yuping is also destined to be with the empress, her birthday is next to each other. Why don't you bring the princess out to play today? She was crying when we left."

Su Mingyue said: "She is only three years old, she doesn't understand anything, so don't bother. Hundreds of shots are fired at once, I'm afraid it will scare her to tears."

Hong Ling said: "That's not necessarily the case, the princess is very courageous, that day the empress pretended to reprimand the princess for some reason, how did she know that the princess followed the empress's example and was even more fierce."

Su Mingyue frowned, "She let you guys run wild."

Cailian smiled and said: "The emperor has so many princes, but the princess only has this one. Don't say that Princess Yuping is the jewel in the palm of his hand. I have never seen the emperor have a good look at other princes."

Su Mingyue said: "That's because the emperor has high hopes for the princes and hopes that they will be successful in the future, so he keeps his words all day long. As for the princess, anyway, he thinks that she has no great prospects in the future, she is just a small thing, so I naturally think You can pet as much as you want, just for fun."

Hongling Cailian came to persuade her again, Su Mingyue was about to argue, when she turned her head and saw Mrs. Rong Guo who was following behind her sitting in a sedan chair and staring at the back of her neck, her face was very ugly.

She probably guessed that the flying makeup was made by the empress, she must be a little jealous.In the twelfth lunar month of last year, Mrs. Rong Guo came to her and said that she wanted to arrange a dance music together to show it to the empress during the Lantern Festival, but she refused.Later, Mrs. Rong Guo and her maid Luo Ying danced together. Although she was praised and rewarded by the emperor, she regretted that if Mrs. Han would cooperate with the demonstration, the dance would be truly perfect.At that time, Liang Guanjing made a haha ​​and helped her to go over, which made her jealous. Han Chengjue felt that he had neglected this beauty for too long, and sure enough, he went to Jianzhang Palace in two days.

Feeling the small knives being shot at the back of her head, Su Mingyue felt helpless, should she take the initiative to show her affection in a few days and rehearse a dance music with her?It's a pity that singing and dancing are not my strong points.

A group of crows parked on the treetops, watching the team quietly, this gave Su Mingyue a bad feeling, she couldn't tell what was wrong, but in short it was - not good.

On the green field, the Shenji Battalion is already in full swing.

The stage for the review team was temporarily built, but it was also gorgeous. The emperor was in the center, the queen was on the right, the noble concubine Su Jingxian was on the left, Mrs. Rong Guo, the wife of South Korea, was on the second right, and the other concubines were on the left. Looking forward, she is now in her early twenties, but her disposition is still innocent, which is rare.

The 500 people in the Shenji Battalion were divided into five rows to demonstrate, and Lianxiang and Xiyu were commanded on both sides. This formation was created by Su Mingyue who looked through the Tai-zu Records and saw an Annan guard, because it was troublesome to load gunpowder. , It takes time, so after the first batch of firecrackers fired in unison, the team spread out from the two wings, retreated to the end and lined up again. At this time, the second row and the third row followed, so that the front row was firing, and the back row The team has time to reload the gunpowder calmly, and can fill in the gaps in time to prevent the attack from being exposed.

After the first three rows of firecrackers were fired, the wine jars hanging on the shooting range exploded and shattered. The concubines on the stage covered their ears one by one. Su Mingyue covered her ears and looked at Rong Guo. The madam had a serious face, she was not afraid of the loud bang of the firecracker, her face was as usual, she didn't even cover her ears.

Suddenly, a female soldier in the team raised her gun and turned to the left. Originally, the team was standing west and facing east, and the stands were facing south, so the firecracker was facing the stands.Everyone saw it, and the guards on the left and right were even more shocked. Before they could react, they heard a solitary "bang", and the bullets whizzed towards the stands.

"There are assassins!" Someone shouted, it was the eunuch's shrill voice.

Su Mingyue felt that the world was spinning for a while. It was Liang Guanjing who threw her down, and even the tables, chairs and tea cups were knocked over.The imperial guards rushed towards the emperor, and three or five strong men escorted him with their bodies.

Under the stage, Lianxiang Xiyu had already thrown down the female soldier, and some female soldiers in the team were still shooting at the target in front of them before they could react, and some were already stunned in fright. Amidst the chaotic explosions, Lianxiang fired one of them. The female soldier's firecracker pointed her head at her companion in panic.

Some concubines screamed, and there was chaos on and off the stage.

The imperial guards carefully moved away to check whether Han Chengjue was in good health. Liang Guanjing turned around and found that Concubine Su Gui was pressing on the emperor with a big gash on her shoulder, bleeding profusely.She looked down, she and Su Mingyue were unharmed, but she knew that this was going to be a big trouble.

The female soldier who assassinated the emperor in the formation had bitten through the poison she had concealed in her mouth earlier, her eyes were staring at the sky with emptiness, and now she is dead without proof.

This was a serious assassination incident on July 38th in the ninth year of Hongxi, involving many people and a wide range, which was unexpected.That night, Yubayashi guards found dragon robes and jade seals from the Chengxiang Hall of Yongming Palace, ten boxes of firecrackers totaling [-] pieces, ten boxes of black gunpowder, countless swords, guns and halberds. Counting the crimes of Empress Liang, including assassinating the emperor, plotting rebellion, raising private soldiers, corrupting the law, granting official positions privately, interfering in government affairs, disrespecting heaven and earth, fearing gods, having no husband and no king, having no rules and regulations, and one more—— Chaotic harem.

Empress Liang Guanjing was imprisoned, Mrs. Su Mingyue of South Korea was imprisoned, Concubine Kang Bai Linglong was imprisoned, Mrs. Rong Guo was confined to Jianzhang Palace.

The Liang family ransacked the house behind closed doors. Liang Yuncheng, the first-class Duke of Dingbei, was seventy-two years old. The emperor thought of his meritorious service, and he was really old.

Liang Qingyu, the head secretary of Dali Temple, was even more serious. Hearing the news, he tidied up his affairs and ran away.

When the capital was moved, others were late and took advantage of the chaos to occupy officials. A total of more than 200 officials, large and small, involved six ministries at all levels. Almost all of them were demoted overnight.

This case is known as the Shenjiying Incident in history. After Liang Guanjing proclaimed himself emperor, the minister of Dali Temple tried to ask if the dossier needed to be revised, but Liang Guanjing's answer was not to change a single word.When scholars of later generations studied this strange case, there was great controversy about whether the empress said this sentence and whether the history books were changed.The school who insisted on the change said: Since Liang Guanjing did become emperor later, she did have the intention of treason at the beginning, but Emperor Hongxi was too hasty to do things, and there was no evidence to fabricate evidence, such as the dragon robe and the weapons hidden in Yongming Palace. Does not belong to Liang Guanjing.She was a queen at the time, with two legitimate sons under her knees, and the Eastern Palace was on the throne. She wanted to take power easily, so why was she so hasty?But the empress had been feuding for a long time. It is an indisputable fact that she brought Mrs. Rongguo into the palace to seduce the king, and poisoned her husband by taking Wushi powder.Emperor Hongxi must have grasped other evidence of her rebellion at the time, but it was inconvenient to announce it to the world, so he thought of the method of dragon robes and weapons, changing the form to abolish the empress.And in the end, because of caring about the relationship between husband and wife, and because he was afraid that future generations would call him ungrateful, he didn't finish the matter in the end, which led to Liang Guanjing having a chance to come back.

The other school of scholars insisted that the Shenjiying incident was all about framing, and it was just a way for Emperor Hongxi to kill his mother and set up his son. At that time, Liang Guanjing's prestige had surpassed that of Wu Yan, who was 30 years old in Tang Dynasty. She was in the prime of life, while Emperor Hongxi was already terminally ill. , This is the rush to make this game.She had no ambition to become emperor at the time, and the proof is that later on, when the emperor came to power, she completely returned the power to the crown prince and lived in Nangong for many years, not like Wu Yan who has always dominated the government and refused to delegate power to the new emperor.

In any case, what the historian records is not the truth, and the truth is only known to the person involved.

In the dossier of Dali Temple, there is a confession written by Mrs. Korea with a length of tens of thousands of words, which is recorded in historical records as "a confession."

Regarding this point, when Mrs. Han commented on it later, she was in a rage, "I wanted to beat him up, but I tortured him to no avail, and I took him into custody without asking, signing, or the title of the book. It is despicable and shameless."

Detaining him without asking, without signing, without the title of the book means that the purpose of torture was not achieved, and when the person fell into a coma, there was no interrogation, no signature, and even failure to write his name on the confession with his own hand.

Mrs. Han has read a lot of poetry and books, and she is quite confident in her handwriting. She is extremely dissatisfied with the way of forcing people to confess that they can't even write a name on the confession.She also cannot overturn the case, because in the end the joint trial of the three divisions was exempted, and the emperor directly adjudicated the case and directly judged the case.

The author has something to say:

Han Yunong: The production team uses the lunar calendar, so I guess, Leo is a born king!Both the queen and the princess are Leo.

Han Chengjue: Can't a Scorpio be a good emperor?
