Daiyu of the Red Chamber owes no one
Chapter 45 Interrogation
When several emperors and grandchildren came to Taihe Emperor, Liu Fu had already confiscated the weapons and armor of the rebels. The soldiers who wanted to surrender and exonerate naturally cooperated very well. It took only a few dragon guards to subdue the rebels.Several stubborn rebels were also captured alive by the rushing army, and only a few committed suicide with their swords, knowing that they would not be able to catch up with the good little boss.
Until now, King Zhongshun knew that the situation was over, his face was gray and defeated, and he was more than ten years old in an instant.The King Zhongshun, who was full of energy and high spirits just now, looks like an old man in his dying years.
Because Emperor Taihe knew that Concubine Wu Gui had had an affair with his compatriot's younger brother, he also became ill with shortness of breath and coughed continuously, so he waved his hands and ordered him to return to the palace.The army came after the battlefield to clean it up. Liu Fu led the dragon guards and divided them into two teams: one team escorted Emperor Taihe back to the palace, and the other team escorted King Zhongshun and other repeat offenders back to the prison in Dali Temple.Even the Seventh Prince, Grandson of the Tenth Emperor, and other members of the palace who hid in the palace and did not go to the school grounds were all imprisoned.
After returning to the palace, the prince immediately invited the imperial physicians, and all the highly capable imperial physicians in the imperial hospital came to consult Taihe Emperor.Only a few imperial physicians all looked serious after making the diagnosis, what's more, they just shook their heads and sighed after coming out of the Taihe Emperor's bedroom.
Under the prince's questioning, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital Zhou came to the outside and sighed: "Returning to His Royal Highness, when I set off for the school in the suburbs of Beijing this morning, the lower officials took the emperor's pulse carefully. The emperor's energy is getting worse. Due to age, although the body is weak, it is not so weak. It is just that after returning from the school, the emperor's pulse became messy, and it seemed to be short of breath. If the emperor's body is as it was a few years ago, the lower officials still have some confidence If you can recuperate, now that the emperor is in this body, the medical skills of the lower officials are not good, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
Although the prince is a little dull, he was carefully cultivated in his early years. If so, why don't you understand?The crown prince nodded, and then asked the other imperial physicians who came to consult with him, but they all said the same thing as Zhou Yuanshi.Zhou Yuanshi is an old man who has been in the Taihe Hospital for many years. He is extremely skilled in medicine and is a person who is used by Emperor Taihe. He has been recuperating the body of Emperor Taihe for decades.
After a long while, the prince said: "From the perspective of the Zhou court envoy, is there really nothing to do?"
Zhou Yuan envoy said again: "Returning to His Royal Highness, although the disease of urgency attacking the heart is fierce, it is not completely unsolvable. There is only a saying that one must tie the bell to untie the bell. The emperor's disease still needs to be solved from the knot in the heart. Therefore, for the emperor's illness, the first thing is for the emperor to relieve himself; the second is for the people around the emperor to relieve it; the last is for the lower officials and others to help with medicine stones."
The prince only thinks that Emperor Taihe's violent anger hurt his body because Concubine Wu conspired with King Zhongshun to rebel, but he didn't know that the fact that the seventh prince was actually born to King Zhongshun was the crux of Emperor Taihe's violent anger.Hearing what Zhou Yuan envoy said, the prince sighed: "I know, you go down first. Arrange shifts and take turns to be on duty. These days, I'm afraid you will have to work hard."
The imperial doctors hurriedly said that they didn't dare, but they all answered in unison.
However, after the imperial doctor's diagnosis, even though they both felt that Tai and Emperor were terminally ill, showing signs of exhaustion, they still prescribed mild antidepressant medicine, and Dai Quan personally sent someone to supervise the people from the imperial hospital to bring them.
Perhaps the decoction had worked, Taihe Emperor's spirits improved a lot after taking the medicine, and he announced that King Zhongshun would be interrogated at this moment, and ordered Lin Ruhai to preside over the trial, and Taihe Emperor personally heard the trial.
Because Emperor Taihe was seriously ill, the interrogation will be held in Qianqing Palace.The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were ordered to interrogate King Zhongshun, and rushed to escort the criminals.Because King Zhongshun committed a serious crime of treason, he was wearing heavy shackles and shackles.Since the defeat of King Zhongshun, all thoughts have been lost, and now he is like a candle in the wind. After suffering such heavy shackles, he has no energy at all, and looks like a half-dead person.
After King Zhongshun was escorted to the court, Dai Quan and others helped Emperor Taihe to come and sat on the dragon chair. Emperor Taihe waved his hand to open the court, and the interrogation began.
King Zhongshun committed a serious crime of treason, and the evidence is solid and irrefutable, so there is nothing to try.Xu Shi, King Zhongshun, also knew that he had suffered a crushing defeat, so he confessed his guilt without hesitation, and he put a charge on the charge in a short time.Zhongshun Wang originally wanted to make bets more straightforwardly, saying in his mouth that "the winner is the king and the loser" and he wanted to put his handprint in a cool gesture, trying to make himself look a little bit proud.Helplessly, the shackles were too heavy, and he couldn't lift his hand once he raised it, which was extremely embarrassing.
Now Emperor Taihe hates King Zhongshun the most, and seeing King Zhongshun behave like this, he actually laughed.But because Taihedi was too weak, he laughed twice and coughed again.King Zhongshun felt relieved when he saw that Emperor Taihe was also in a panic.The two brothers of this mother's compatriots are now in their dying years, and there is still a flame of wishing to die in their eyes.
After the trial was over, Lin Ruhai was about to announce his resignation, but King Zhongshun couldn't help it, stared at Lin Ruhai and asked, "Where did I go wrong?"
When King Zhongshun asked this question, he was naturally not asking where he was wrong in the crime of treason, but what went wrong in his plan.This had nothing to do with this case, Lin Ruhai didn't dare to make a claim, and was about to say: "The criminal is not allowed to ask about matters that have nothing to do with this case." Emperor Taihe suddenly felt the pleasure of winning, and smiled very weakly: "Tell him!"
Lin Ruhai agreed first, and then turned to Zhongshun Wangdao: "The prince has made many mistakes, and I don't know where to start."
After hearing this, King Zhongshun stared at Lin Ruhai for a while. What he was most dissatisfied with was why the third emperor's grandson and others were not dead, so King Zhongshun asked, "Why are those boys on the school ground alive?"
After hearing this, Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "If the prince is more careful, I'm afraid he will find something strange. It's just that the prince is too confident and ignores the scene of the explosion. It may be different from the original plan of the prince. "
After hearing this, King Zhongshun pondered for a long time before he said: "I was on the War Drum Mountain, and I did see a lot of smoke rising from the shooting range, and I heard the explosion after a while. I just thought that the gunpowder was damp and detonated. Slow down, is there something strange about that thick smoke?"
Lin Ruhai said again: "In the martial arts competition in the school field, the rules established by the Ministry of Rites are that several emperors and grandchildren will lead the way, and temporarily changed the emperor's grandchildren to lead the formation. Didn't the prince have any doubts?"
King Zhongshun frowned and said, "Temporary small changes are not a big deal, so what's the problem?"
After hearing King Zhongshun's words, Lin Ruhai stopped talking about irrelevant things, and only talked about today's school grounds: King Zhongshun sent people to dig a tunnel to bury gunpowder in the dense forest behind the school grounds, which was discovered by the Long Guard long ago.After discovering the secret, Liu Fu first tried to place internal support in King Zhongshun's army, and learned the tense position of digging tunnels every day, so as to prepare for future actions.
The reason why the Ministry of Rites was asked to formulate the content of the competition and plan the rules of the competition this time was that Lin Ruhai had expected that King Zhongshun had internal support in the Ministry of Rites, and deliberately disclosed this information to King Zhongshun through the Ministry of Rites.The Ministry of Rites set up the shooting range on the edge of the dense forest, originally to facilitate the nearby digging of tunnels and arrangement of gunpowder, but Lin Ruhai took advantage of this.Because the dense forest is very easy to hide people and horses, all the grandsons and noble sons retreated into the dense forest, King Zhongshun and others did not find out, they only thought that everyone had been killed by the bomb.
The reason why the starting order of the competition was changed this morning was to gain time.When the competition on the school grounds started, the internal response of Liu Fu's subordinates lurking in the Zhongshun King's Department activated the mechanism arranged on the tree in advance, and sprinkled Wuying Sugusan.When the other kings and grandsons were competing in the school field, King Zhongshun's army ambushed in the dense forest had all been poisoned and captured without making a sound.
Then, the insider who was familiar with the tunnel led the expert who knew the arrangement of gunpowder into the tunnel, and cut off the fuses of other gunpowder in the shooting range, leaving only one fuse of the gunpowder under the end wire. Therefore, when the explosion occurred, only a big hole was blown near the end wire.
Before the gunpowder was detonated, a burst of thick smoke was released. The smoke was not caused by the gunpowder being wet and unexploded, but a smoke bomb deliberately placed.In this burst of smoke, several grandsons of the emperor and other princes and grandsons had retreated into the dense forest.The Zhongshun King's Department in the dense forest has been poisoned and captured, and everyone is still unaware after retreating.
When the smoke filled the range, many horses on the shooting range were frightened and screamed. Others couldn't see clearly, thinking that the horses were frightened by the smoke, but in fact it was the martial arts disciples who chopped off the horse's legs near the end line. Those horses with broken legs were Later, the bloody corpses in the explosion pit.However, the red, yellow, white, and blue clothes in the pit were left on the spot by the horse killers, causing the illusion that the explosion killed many contestants.
There are two highlands in the school grounds in the suburbs of Beijing, one is Dianjiangtai where Emperor Taihe watched the game, and the other is Zhangu Mountain where King Zhongshun hides.Zhangu Mountain is called a mountain, but it is actually a low-level mound. King Zhongshun saw thick smoke covering the school grounds on Zhangu Mountain, and suddenly there was an explosion, and saw that there were many corpses covered in blood and flesh on the site of the explosion. It's just a comparison of the clothes that everyone wears, so naturally they think it's a good idea.In fact, those corpses are only extremely old war horses that have been eliminated.
On that day, it was decided to compete in the school field for the Wanshou Festival, and the Ministry of Rites decided to formulate the competition rules. Naturally, they wanted to use the Ministry of Rites' Zhongshun King's internal information to lure Zhongshun King into being fooled.The household department was responsible for drawing up the list of princes and grandsons participating in this competition, but Lin Ruhai carefully selected the smart and heartfelt princes and grandchildren, and tried their best to cooperate with the strategy, and retreated into the dense forest after the thick smoke rose, so the explosion did not cause any casualties.
After hearing this, King Zhongshun suddenly realized.She admired Lin Ruhai, but also hated him deeply for not only seeing through her scheme, but also causing herself to fall into a trap.He stared at Lin Ruhai for a long time, and then said: "Shangshu Lin is good at planning, where did the soldiers and horses who surrounded me come from after this king appeared?"
After hearing this, Lin Ruhai explained in detail: Ever since Concubine Wu Guifei proposed that the Longevity Festival be celebrated on the school grounds, Jia Lian, the grandson of Duke Rong, took the imperial decree to Pingan Prefecture to contact the former Ministry of Duke Rong. Those soldiers and horses were the Anzhou Festival The speed envoy Ran Yu personally brought it.
When King Zhongshun heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted unwillingly: "This is impossible! Jia Lian is going to work for this king!"
It turns out that Ping'an Prefecture is an important throat, and going west is the only way to go to the West Sea. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.Because the strategic position of Ping'an Prefecture was too important, Emperor Taizu ordered Rong Guogong, who had made great military exploits, to guard it after he won the country.Later, after the world was settled, Jia Daishan returned to Beijing, and no one of Jia Daishan's sons could take on the heavy responsibility, so the post of Ping'an Prefecture Jiedushi was given to Rong Guogong's old department.
It takes half a month for Pingan Prefecture to go back and forth from the capital, which is a barrier for the capital.The soldiers and horses of Ping'an Prefecture and the soldiers and horses of the capital are the horns of each other, and they also strangle the main roads from other provinces to the capital. As long as the king of Zhongshun in the capital rebels, the soldiers and horses of Ping'an Prefecture are outside to support, and nothing will go wrong.
Therefore, the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion made every effort to win over the Rongguo Mansion.Xia Shouzhong went to the Rongguo Mansion to make a deal in the name of saving Jia Yuanchun. In fact, Xia Shouzhong was instigated by Concubine Wu Gui and used the collusion between the Jia family and the Zhen family as a threat to force the Jia family's relationship with the Duke of Rongguo back then. Make the soldiers stay still.
However, Jia Lian had been instructed by Lin Ruhai in this life and knew the seriousness of the matter. When Jia's mother sent Jia Lian to Ping'an Prefecture for business, Jia Lian secretly asked Lin Ruhai for help.Lin Ruhai gave Jia Lian some tricks, and Jia Lian still went to Ping'an Prefecture as scheduled.King Zhongshun thought that Jia Lian went to Ping'an Prefecture to help him spread the word, but he didn't know that Jia Lian went to Ping'anzhong to transfer troops with an imperial edict.
The journey from Ping'an Prefecture to the capital is more urgent and takes half a month to go back and forth. Concubine Wu Guifei couldn't hold back anymore. Half a month ago, she proposed to Emperor Taihe to celebrate the Longevity Festival at the school in the suburbs of Beijing, which gave Emperor Taihe time to react.General Ran Yu and his party arrived in time on the day of the competition, shattering King Zhongshun's last hope.
After listening to King Zhongshun, he felt his chest was cold. He thought that the strategy was foolproof, but he didn't want to, but it was all in Lin Ruhai's plan, and he was planning every step of the way.King Zhongshun stared at Lin Ruhai for a long time, filled with hatred.
King Zhongshun hated Emperor Taihe, hated him because he was born earlier than himself, and he was also the son of the royal family, but the world belonged to him.He hated Emperor Taihe for accepting Wu, who was more than ten years younger than him, as his concubine, which ruined the marriage he longed for in his heart.So he endured for decades, trying to destroy everything about Emperor Taihe.But what he hates the most at the moment is Lin Ruhai. Without this person, he might have succeeded.
After pondering for a while, Zhongshun Wangcai said: "Shangshu Lin is such a great talent that he only appointed Tanhualang back then. After all, Brother Huang's vision is not clear enough." Then he said: "Master Lin has been smart all his life, hasn't he heard of the bird's bow?" Hiding?"
Niaojin Gongzang was originally the most commonly used technique used by emperors, but King Zhongshun said at this moment that he was trying to drive a wedge between Emperor Taihe and Lin Ruhai. This method of killing and punishing one's heart has such sinister intentions.Lin Ruhai didn't know that King Zhongshun said such words at this moment, he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, so that Emperor Taihe could get rid of him.
After hearing this, Emperor Taihe raised his cloudy eyes to look at Lin Ruhai, and then lowered his head again.In the early years, Emperor Taihe promoted Lin Ruhai because of the loyalty of the four generations of the Lin family, and because Lin Ruhai was talented and beautiful. Back then, Emperor Taihe trusted Lin Ruhai without any fear.But in the year of severe drought, Emperor Taihe made an exception and transferred Lin Ruhai back to Beijing to serve as Minister of the Household Department. Emperor Taihe became more and more dependent on Lin Ruhai for his affairs, and Lin Ruhai's power grew day by day.Emperor Taihe relied on Lin Ruhai to contain the princes who were about to move, but at the same time secretly worried that Lin Ruhai would be too popular.
Only Concubine Zhen's conspiracy was exposed by Lin Ruhai, and King Zhongshun's conspiracy was exposed by Lin Ruhai. Except for Lin Ruhai, there was no such useful person around Emperor Taihe.Even if the birds are exhausted, the bow must be hidden, and the birds must be exhausted.Back then, the crown prince was violent and several princes were eyeing him. It was also a helpless move for Emperor Taihe to reuse Lin Ruhai.Now that the fifth prince has lost his life, the seventh prince must be a capital offence. After the dust settles, it seems time to cut Lin Ruhai's power.If Lin Ruhai is willing to let go of power and return to the field, and withdraw and retreat, he will naturally see him as a marquis and noble for his past achievements, and he will not appear to be mean and ungrateful when he rises up and down, and he can prevent the prince from any troubles before they happen.
As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. After hearing this, Lin Ruhai knew that she should withdraw and retreat. She planned in her heart that she might as well resign from the official position after returning home, in exchange for the safety of her family.
King Zhongshun saw the change in Emperor Taihe's expression, and knew that his provocation had worked, so he couldn't help but cast a sinister glance at Lin Ruhai.Several people had their own thoughts, but Emperor Taihe said: "I'm tired, let's leave the hall for now." Everyone should be, Dai Quan and others escorted Emperor Taihe back to his bedroom, and the servants escorted King Zhongshun back to the prison in Dali Temple .
Lin Ruhai returned home exhausted, and told Jia Min and Lin Rong about today's events. Jia Min was stunned, his face full of worry, and Lin Rong was full of youthful loyalty, feeling uneasy, and thought: If it wasn't for the father's credit, Emperor Taihe's throne has been lost for a long time, I don't want him to cross the river and tear down the bridge like this today!As long as he is the king of a country in the end, Lin Feng didn't say that.
The next day is the Longevity Festival, Lin Ruhai, as the Minister of the Household Department, naturally has to enter the palace early in the morning to celebrate.
This day is about to arrive at the palace, and I heard that Emperor Taihe was seriously ill again yesterday, and the Longevity Festival celebration was changed to a sickness.Xu Shi was furious when he learned of the life experience of the Seventh Prince. Xu Shi was provoked by King Zhongshun yesterday and thought hard all night. Emperor Taihe was so ill that he couldn't speak clearly.
As it was approaching noon, Emperor Taihe was much more awake, and ordered to go to the Meridian Gate to behead King Zhongshun and the Seventh Prince.The imperial doctor saw it, and they all knew that this was a symptom of returning light, but in the end, all the princes and grandchildren came forward to persuade: Today is the Longevity Day, and it is not appropriate to see blood.
Taihe Emperor Xu knew that his time was short, and he had to ask King Zhongshun and the Seventh Prince to be executed at noon today, and he personally supervised the execution.The Ministry of Punishment took the order and went to deal with it.
A few house attendants carried Emperor Taihe to the Meridian Gate in a palanquin, and the jailer of Dali Temple also escorted King Zhongshun and the Seventh Prince to come, and at [-]:[-] noon, the execution was carried out on time.Emperor Piantaihe ordered the seventh prince to be beheaded first.
Seeing that the Seventh Prince's head was in a different place, King Zhongshun finally couldn't help it, his face was full of grief and indignation, although he didn't cry bitterly, he couldn't hold back the tears.Beheading the evil species in front of King Zhongshun, Emperor Taihe burst into laughter with indescribable joy in his heart.He was already exhausted, and he thought hard all night yesterday, and today, under the great sorrow and joy, he couldn't breathe out. Seeing that the laughter gradually died down, the breath was stuck in his chest and he couldn't get out, so he died.
The imperial physician stepped forward to investigate and felt that Emperor Taihe had lost his pulse. Dai Quan announced the emperor's death.A generation of emperors ended their lives like this.In this life, he was the emperor for a few more years, and he was not forced to abdicate as the Supreme Emperor, but he died a few years earlier than in the previous life.
King Zhongshun saw that the heads of his parents and sons were in different places, and thought that none of the descendants of Prince Zhongshun's house would be well off, and he felt sad from his heart.But he didn't want to admit defeat in front of Emperor Taihe, so he held back his breath and never killed himself.Now that Emperor Taihe is dead, King Zhongshun also laughed a few times, and suddenly felt that the world was vast, and he had been planning for many years, turning his head into nothing, after all, it was too worthless.King Zhongshun also felt that he had no interest in life, so he crushed the poison sac hidden between his teeth, and committed suicide by taking the poison.
This poisonous sac was given by Starscream, if things fail, it will save a lot of torture, please be happy.
Lin Ruhai was provoked by King Zhongshun yesterday, and he thought hard all night. He planned to resign after the Wanshou Festival, but he didn't want Emperor Taihe to die like this today.
Looking at Emperor Taihe and King Zhongshun, these two were originally brothers, but because of their greed for power they became enemies, and today they both died, so they died together at the same time.I don't know if the two of his brothers are still arguing over who will get on the bridge first when they are on the Naihe Bridge.
Until now, King Zhongshun knew that the situation was over, his face was gray and defeated, and he was more than ten years old in an instant.The King Zhongshun, who was full of energy and high spirits just now, looks like an old man in his dying years.
Because Emperor Taihe knew that Concubine Wu Gui had had an affair with his compatriot's younger brother, he also became ill with shortness of breath and coughed continuously, so he waved his hands and ordered him to return to the palace.The army came after the battlefield to clean it up. Liu Fu led the dragon guards and divided them into two teams: one team escorted Emperor Taihe back to the palace, and the other team escorted King Zhongshun and other repeat offenders back to the prison in Dali Temple.Even the Seventh Prince, Grandson of the Tenth Emperor, and other members of the palace who hid in the palace and did not go to the school grounds were all imprisoned.
After returning to the palace, the prince immediately invited the imperial physicians, and all the highly capable imperial physicians in the imperial hospital came to consult Taihe Emperor.Only a few imperial physicians all looked serious after making the diagnosis, what's more, they just shook their heads and sighed after coming out of the Taihe Emperor's bedroom.

Naturally, they wanted to use the Ministry of Rites' Zhongshun King's internal information to lure Zhongshun King into being fooled.The household department was responsible for drawing up the list of princes and grandsons participating in this competition, but Lin Ruhai carefully selected the smart and heartfelt princes and grandchildren, and tried their best to cooperate with the strategy, and retreated into the dense forest after the thick smoke rose, so the explosion did not cause any casualties.
After hearing this, King Zhongshun suddenly realized.She admired Lin Ruhai, but also hated him deeply for not only seeing through her scheme, but also causing herself to fall into a trap.He stared at Lin Ruhai for a long time, and then said: "Shangshu Lin is good at planning, where did the soldiers and horses who surrounded me come from after this king appeared?"
After hearing this, Lin Ruhai explained in detail: Ever since Concubine Wu Guifei proposed that the Longevity Festival be celebrated on the school grounds, Jia Lian, the grandson of Duke Rong, took the imperial decree to Pingan Prefecture to contact the former Ministry of Duke Rong. Those soldiers and horses were the Anzhou Festival The speed envoy Ran Yu personally brought it.
When King Zhongshun heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted unwillingly: "This is impossible! Jia Lian is going to work for this king!"
It turns out that Ping'an Prefecture is an important throat, and going west is the only way to go to the West Sea. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.Because the strategic position of Ping'an Prefecture was too important, Emperor Taizu ordered Rong Guogong, who had made great military exploits, to guard it after he won the country.Later, after the world was settled, Jia Daishan returned to Beijing, and no one of Jia Daishan's sons could take on the heavy responsibility, so the post of Ping'an Prefecture Jiedushi was given to Rong Guogong's old department.
It takes half a month for Pingan Prefecture to go back and forth from the capital, which is a barrier for the capital.The soldiers and horses of Ping'an Prefecture and the soldiers and horses of the capital are the horns of each other, and they also strangle the main roads from other provinces to the capital. As long as the king of Zhongshun in the capital rebels, the soldiers and horses of Ping'an Prefecture are outside to support, and nothing will go wrong.
Therefore, the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion made every effort to win over the Rongguo Mansion.Xia Shouzhong went to the Rongguo Mansion to make a deal in the name of saving Jia Yuanchun. In fact, Xia Shouzhong was instigated by Concubine Wu Gui and used the collusion between the Jia family and the Zhen family as a threat to force the Jia family's relationship with the Duke of Rongguo back then. Make the soldiers stay still.
However, Jia Lian had been instructed by Lin Ruhai in this life and knew the seriousness of the matter. When Jia's mother sent Jia Lian to Ping'an Prefecture for business, Jia Lian secretly asked Lin Ruhai for help.Lin Ruhai gave Jia Lian some tricks, and Jia Lian still went to Ping'an Prefecture as scheduled.King Zhongshun thought that Jia Lian went to Ping'an Prefecture to help him spread the word, but he didn't know that Jia Lian went to Ping'anzhong to transfer troops with an imperial edict.
The journey from Ping'an Prefecture to the capital is more urgent and takes half a month to go back and forth. Concubine Wu Guifei couldn't hold back anymore. Half a month ago, she proposed to Emperor Taihe to celebrate the Longevity Festival at the school in the suburbs of Beijing, which gave Emperor Taihe time to react.General Ran Yu and his party arrived in time on the day of the competition, shattering King Zhongshun's last hope.
After listening to King Zhongshun, he felt his chest was cold. He thought that the strategy was foolproof, but he didn't want to, but it was all in Lin Ruhai's plan, and he was planning every step of the way.King Zhongshun stared at Lin Ruhai for a long time, filled with hatred.
King Zhongshun hated Emperor Taihe, hated him because he was born earlier than himself, and he was also the son of the royal family, but the world belonged to him.He hated Emperor Taihe for accepting Wu, who was more than ten years younger than him, as his concubine, which ruined the marriage he longed for in his heart.So he endured for decades, trying to destroy everything about Emperor Taihe.But what he hates the most at the moment is Lin Ruhai. Without this person, he might have succeeded.
After pondering for a while, Zhongshun Wangcai said: "Shangshu Lin is such a great talent that he only appointed Tanhualang back then. After all, Brother Huang's vision is not clear enough." Then he said: "Master Lin has been smart all his life, hasn't he heard of the bird's bow?" Hiding?"
Niaojin Gongzang was originally the most commonly used technique used by emperors, but King Zhongshun said at this moment that he was trying to drive a wedge between Emperor Taihe and Lin Ruhai. This method of killing and punishing one's heart has such sinister intentions.Lin Ruhai didn't know that King Zhongshun said such words at this moment, he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, so that Emperor Taihe could get rid of him.
After hearing this, Emperor Taihe raised his cloudy eyes to look at Lin Ruhai, and then lowered his head again.In the early years, Emperor Taihe promoted Lin Ruhai because of the loyalty of the four generations of the Lin family, and because Lin Ruhai was talented and beautiful. Back then, Emperor Taihe trusted Lin Ruhai without any fear.But in the year of severe drought, Emperor Taihe made an exception and transferred Lin Ruhai back to Beijing to serve as Minister of the Household Department. Emperor Taihe became more and more dependent on Lin Ruhai for his affairs, and Lin Ruhai's power grew day by day.Emperor Taihe relied on Lin Ruhai to contain the princes who were about to move, but at the same time secretly worried that Lin Ruhai would be too popular.
Only Concubine Zhen's conspiracy was exposed by Lin Ruhai, and King Zhongshun's conspiracy was exposed by Lin Ruhai. Except for Lin Ruhai, there was no such useful person around Emperor Taihe.Even if the birds are exhausted, the bow must be hidden, and the birds must be exhausted.Back then, the crown prince was violent and several princes were eyeing him. It was also a helpless move for Emperor Taihe to reuse Lin Ruhai.Now that the fifth prince has lost his life, the seventh prince must be a capital offence. After the dust settles, it seems time to cut Lin Ruhai's power.If Lin Ruhai is willing to let go of power and return to the field, and withdraw and retreat, he will naturally see him as a marquis and noble for his past achievements, and he will not appear to be mean and ungrateful when he rises up and down, and he can prevent the prince from any troubles before they happen.
As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. After hearing this, Lin Ruhai knew that she should withdraw and retreat. She planned in her heart that she might as well resign from the official position after returning home, in exchange for the safety of her family.
King Zhongshun saw the change in Emperor Taihe's expression, and knew that his provocation had worked, so he couldn't help but cast a sinister glance at Lin Ruhai.Several people had their own thoughts, but Emperor Taihe said: "I'm tired, let's leave the hall for now." Everyone should be, Dai Quan and others escorted Emperor Taihe back to his bedroom, and the servants escorted King Zhongshun back to the prison in Dali Temple .
Lin Ruhai returned home exhausted, and told Jia Min and Lin Rong about today's events. Jia Min was stunned, his face full of worry, and Lin Rong was full of youthful loyalty, feeling uneasy, and thought: If it wasn't for the father's credit, Emperor Taihe's throne has been lost for a long time, I don't want him to cross the river and tear down the bridge like this today!As long as he is the king of a country in the end, Lin Feng didn't say that.
The next day is the Longevity Festival, Lin Ruhai, as the Minister of the Household Department, naturally has to enter the palace early in the morning to celebrate.
This day is about to arrive at the palace, and I heard that Emperor Taihe was seriously ill again yesterday, and the Longevity Festival celebration was changed to a sickness.Xu Shi was furious when he learned of the life experience of the Seventh Prince. Xu Shi was provoked by King Zhongshun yesterday and thought hard all night. Emperor Taihe was so ill that he couldn't speak clearly.
As it was approaching noon, Emperor Taihe was much more awake, and ordered to go to the Meridian Gate to behead King Zhongshun and the Seventh Prince.The imperial doctor saw it, and they all knew that this was a symptom of returning light, but in the end, all the princes and grandchildren came forward to persuade: Today is the Longevity Day, and it is not appropriate to see blood.
Taihe Emperor Xu knew that his time was short, and he had to ask King Zhongshun and the Seventh Prince to be executed at noon today, and he personally supervised the execution.The Ministry of Punishment took the order and went to deal with it.
A few house attendants carried Emperor Taihe to the Meridian Gate in a palanquin, and the jailer of Dali Temple also escorted King Zhongshun and the Seventh Prince to come, and at [-]:[-] noon, the execution was carried out on time.Emperor Piantaihe ordered the seventh prince to be beheaded first.
Seeing that the Seventh Prince's head was in a different place, King Zhongshun finally couldn't help it, his face was full of grief and indignation, although he didn't cry bitterly, he couldn't hold back the tears.Beheading the evil species in front of King Zhongshun, Emperor Taihe burst into laughter with indescribable joy in his heart.He was already exhausted, and he thought hard all night yesterday, and today, under the great sorrow and joy, he couldn't breathe out. Seeing that the laughter gradually died down, the breath was stuck in his chest and he couldn't get out, so he died.
The imperial physician stepped forward to investigate and felt that Emperor Taihe had lost his pulse. Dai Quan announced the emperor's death.A generation of emperors ended their lives like this.In this life, he was the emperor for a few more years, and he was not forced to abdicate as the Supreme Emperor, but he died a few years earlier than in the previous life.
King Zhongshun saw that the heads of his parents and sons were in different places, and thought that none of the descendants of Prince Zhongshun's house would be well off, and he felt sad from his heart.But he didn't want to admit defeat in front of Emperor Taihe, so he held back his breath and never killed himself.Now that Emperor Taihe is dead, King Zhongshun also laughed a few times, and suddenly felt that the world was vast, and he had been planning for many years, turning his head into nothing, after all, it was too worthless.King Zhongshun also felt that he had no interest in life, so he crushed the poison sac hidden between his teeth, and committed suicide by taking the poison.
This poisonous sac was given by Starscream, if things fail, it will save a lot of torture, please be happy.
Lin Ruhai was provoked by King Zhongshun yesterday, and he thought hard all night. He planned to resign after the Wanshou Festival, but he didn't want Emperor Taihe to die like this today.
Looking at Emperor Taihe and King Zhongshun, these two were originally brothers, but because of their greed for power they became enemies, and today they both died, so they died together at the same time.I don't know if the two of his brothers are still arguing over who will get on the bridge first when they are on the Naihe Bridge.
