Those years when I was on the right path [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 44 The False Emperor and the Real Queen

All the women in the harem depended on the emperor to live. If she was an unfavored person, she would be far more dangerous than others, and no one would even care about being persecuted to death.In a short period of time, Wei Tianxuan had seen this clearly. She didn't know what Pei Yun's biggest danger was, but the real emperor Wei Tianheng was definitely part of the danger.Now she pretends to be the emperor, and none of the things she does are in accordance with his wishes. Even if Zhang Shun said that the emperor will travel far away and will not return to the imperial capital in a short time, it is hard to guarantee that he will come back in a hurry after hearing the news. .

——Ah Liang, do you think I should kill Wei Tianheng while he is out?Anyway, they are all fools.

Wei Tianxuan thought that before Wei Tianheng returned to the palace, she was the real emperor, and secretly sent someone to kill Wei Tianheng and attack Zhang Shun, so no one else would know her secret.The system's reply is naturally not good, saying anything is against justice, but she can't do it if she is asked to wait in the palace for Wei Tianheng who doesn't know when he will come back, and makes her task passive, and even has the possibility of failure. arrive.

[Wei Tianheng goes to Huainan Road]

The system was able to report Wei Tianheng's whereabouts in preparation, which obviously meant to give Wei Tianxuan some time to escape.

After all, Wei Tianxuan and Wei Tianheng are somewhat different. For example, she has never spent the night with a favorite concubine in the palace. This makes some concubines who are waiting and watching anxious, especially Gao Guifei who is changing her ways. To seduce Wei Tianxuan, he didn't drink the tea and cakes she brought, maybe there was some strange drug in it.To say that the most comfortable place in the whole palace is the queen's palace, but it's a pity that Pei Yun doesn't want to see her at all.Is this the attitude that a queen who is in limbo and who is worried about the life and death of her family should have?Or did she really discover something?

In Yuechun, the palace willows are green, peaches are red, pears are white, and there are flowers of various colors in between. The Taiye Pond is very lively all day long, and even the lazy or innocent little palace ladies like to go there to play. .After Wei Tianxuan was kicked out of the palace by the queen in the name of "resting", she stood quietly in the small red pavilion by herself, watching the distant mountains.In the same world, she is really comfortable wandering in the rivers and lakes, but what about the palace?This corner made her feel like a bird imprisoned in it.

"This used to be the eldest princess' favorite place."

"Are you crazy? How dare you mention the eldest princess?"

The whispers in the grass reached Wei Tianxuan's ears, and before she could remember who this eldest princess was, she heard another delicate voice, twisting her body and coming over surrounded by a group of maids. Is that Gao Linglong?Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked haggard. When she saw Wei Tianxuan, there was an expression of both aggrieved and happy on her face.In the court, the concubines have always had a lot of eyeliner. When they heard that the emperor had gone to a place, they changed their ways to meet them by chance.Wei Tianxuan secretly smiled, but still looked at Gao Linglong calmly.

"Your Majesty, you seem to be unhappy, I will take you to a good place." After Gao Linglong bent down and saluted, she spontaneously wrapped herself around Wei Tianxuan's arm like a snake, with a charming smile on her face.

Wei Tianxuan broke away from Gao Linglong calmly, her eyes were a little more excited, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Where does Linglong want to take me?"

Wei Tianxuan's question made Gao Linglong's face even more joyful. She no longer thought about the fact that she was thrown away by Wei Tianxuan, but winked at the maids and let them meet the road ahead , while he was following Wei Tianxuan's side, chattering endlessly with his mouth open.Sometimes he asked about the queen's condition, and sometimes he complained about the grievance of being left out.Wei Tianxuan had no expression at first, but when he arrived at the destination, his complexion suddenly changed, and his brows were tightly furrowed. When she turned her head to look at Gao Linglong, she saw her smiling calmly and complacently.

Gao Linglong had a look of asking for credit: "My sage often wants to go to the folk market place to feel the joy of the people. Now the palace has its own market place." A lot of concubines appeared as city orders, slaughtering pigs and sheep, selling wine to buy meat, it seemed so lively!Looking at Gao Linglong's demeanor again, I don't think it is absurd, I think she gave Wei Tianheng a lot of bad ideas, no wonder Wei Tianheng's favorite concubine is her.

"Is His Majesty unhappy?" Gao Linglong smiled, she pulled Wei Tianxuan by the sleeve, and led her to the palace beside her.Only then did he approach the gate of the hall, and he heard a series of tragic cries, and the strong smell of blood spread throughout the hall.Gao Linglong walked forward without changing her expression, and stopped when she knew a deep square pit in the hall.She pointed to the man with disheveled hair, distorted and crazy face inside and said, "Your Majesty, you can see that her body is full of poison. I don't know how long it will last." Crawling scorpions, poisonous snakes swimming around, Wei Tianxuan was used to seeing all kinds of scenes in the rivers and lakes, but when he saw this thing clearly, he also had the urge to vomit.Who are Gao Linglong and Wei Tianheng?Can do this kind of thing?

"Your Majesty, you said that you liked to hear their cries of pain, and you also said—" Gao Linglong put Wei Tianxuan on her arm, and said with a twinkle in her eyes, "You also said that you would throw the queen in."

Hearing this, Wei Tianxuan couldn't bear it any longer, she pressed Gao Linglong's shoulder alone, and said coldly: "Linglong, you are my concubine, you are willing to go into the poison pit to make me laugh, right? "Her expression didn't seem to be joking, Gao Linglong's smile became more and more forced, and when she found herself being held tightly by Wei Tianxuan, her complexion suddenly turned pale. Forget about lessons learned.The people in the poisonous pit had already lost their lives, and they stopped screaming even though the poisonous insects were all over them. Wei Tianxuan really wanted to push Gao Linglong into it, but in the end she resisted the urge and threw Gao Linglong to the ground. On one side, just as he was about to give the order to fill up the poisonous pit, he heard "the queen is here"!

The farce that happened in the court finally reached Pei Yun's ears, no matter what her standpoint was, she should have warned her.Wei Tianxuan had a face-to-face meeting with the person who hurriedly stepped into the hall, seeing her put on a phoenix robe and phoenix crown, her complexion was as frosty, her heart turned cold, her eyes obviously regarded herself as Gao Linglong's group , enjoy such inhumane things.

Pei Yun's gaze swept across Gao Linglong's body, and finally stopped on Wei Tianxuan's body. She bit her white lower lip, knelt down on the ground with a plop, took off the queen's crown and put it on the ground, and kowtowed Then she opened her mouth and said: "I implore Your Majesty—" Before she could finish speaking, Wei Tianxuan stepped forward, bent down and helped Pei Yun up, and she said seriously: "I will order to fill this poison pit, As for the busy market in the palace, there will never be a second time, the empress can rest assured." She said this in a hurry, and inadvertently changed her tone, revealing a little of her original voice.

Now it was Gao Linglong's turn to turn pale. In the past, when she was traveling with the emperor, the empress would only be scolded when she came. How could such a scene happen?She looked anxiously at the queen who refused to get up, and her heart sank to the bottom.She bit her lower lip, and tears welled up from her eyes: "My lord——"

Wei Tianxuan was in a hurry to express his attitude to the queen, how could he control Gao Linglong's thoughts?Besides, she came up with such a bad idea, and I don't know how many people have been harmed.Wei Tianxuan forcibly helped Pei Yun up, took her into his arms, turned around and said solemnly: "Gao Linglong doesn't practice virtue, is cruel and has no morals, from now on she will be deposed as a commoner and thrown into limbo."

Pei Yun pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "The matter of abolishing the imperial concubine needs to be discussed with the ministers." She didn't know that Gao Linglong regarded her as a thorn in the side, and she provoked many things, even her The emperor has never pursued the several conclusive evidences, but now he is lightly abolishing the imperial concubine, is it safe to see the moon?Is there another purpose?Pei Yun hadn't slept soundly these few nights, and the blurry image was not clear. She never thought that the emperor would enter her dream, but his face was mixed with others.

"There is no need to discuss this matter." The former emperor was arrogant and arbitrary, so was Wei Tianxuan. With a wave of her hand, no matter how hard Gao Linglong yelled, she never looked back.

"Gao Guifei did all these things just to win your favor." Pei Yun sneered, Gao Linglong's fate could happen to anyone, the emperor's guarantee and promise are the most unreliable.She raised her head slightly, looked into those pure and clean eyes, and changed the subject again, "Do you believe in ghosts and gods?"

Wei Tianxuan blinked, her gaze rested on Pei Yun's lips for a moment, and she smiled lightly: "If you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't."

Pei Yun said again: "There are many records in ancient books about the matter of borrowing corpses to resurrect the soul. Is it true or not?" After these words came out, Wei Tianxuan finally understood the meaning of Pei Yun. It wasn't Wei Tianheng anymore, but she didn't think that she was another person, but she thought that Wei Tianheng was possessed by other souls like reincarnating from a dead body.I didn't mention it until now, the queen's ability to endure is stronger than I imagined.Wei Tianxuan felt a little funny, and thought of telling the queen the truth, but after thinking for a while, he gave up.She didn't want any changes to happen that would affect the final progress of the task.

The imperial concubine is second to the empress in the court, and the matter of abolishing the empress and the imperial concubine has always been discussed with the ministers, but the current high imperial concubine, Gao Linglong, was born in a plain family. At first, the emperor fell in love with her beauty. He made her a concubine arbitrarily, and enshrined her father and brothers, and became a great figure in the court. However, in the eyes of the nobles' children, the Gao family would not be able to stand on the stage after all.It's a pity that the holy will is unpredictable. Today's emperor does not have the sage and decisiveness of the previous emperor. His natural tyranny is comparable to that of Jie Zhou. It is common for ministers to be executed for disagreement.This time the decree to abolish Concubine Gao was passed on, and only Gao Linglong's father, Dali Qing Gao Tu dared to enter the palace, Wei Tianxuan naturally refused him.

"In this court, the judges judged the cases together. The criminals sent by the various divisions, those who committed crimes and capital crimes, all had to be re-examined. The motion was also copied to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This case will be decided by Gao Tu alone." When the news of Gao Tu's request for an audience came, Wei Tianxuan was in the Queen's Palace, so Pei Yun naturally heard about it.She spoke lightly, her eyes were calm, but her heart was really disturbed.Her words are a kind of temptation, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, one is to see the emperor's tolerance for this matter, and the other is to see how she breaks the court affairs, whether she is still the rumored fatuous emperor.

"What does the queen think?" Wei Tianxuan's mission here was to protect Pei Yun, and entering the palace to pretend to be the emperor gave her a shortcut, and she didn't want to deal with the messy court affairs.She heard the temptation of Pei Yun's words, and kicked the topic back with a slight smile, "Does the empress know something about what she said?"

Pei Yun frowned slightly, she hesitated for a while, and then said, "I wonder if the Holy Majesty remembers the murder of Gao Long's wife last year?"

Gao Long is Gao Tu's parent-son and Gao Linglong's younger brother. After hearing what Pei Yun said, Wei Tianxuan was able to retrieve the file from Mr. System after he unlocked the key word.It turned out that the Gao family took advantage of the imperial power to climb to the high gate of the royal family of the gentry. Even though the royal family was unwilling, they had to marry their prostitute daughter to the ignorant Gao Long according to the imperial decree. He was beaten to death by Gao Long, but the person who judged the case insisted that Gao Long was innocent, and it was Wang's daughter who disrespected her husband.The Wang family is also a high-ranking family, and the head of the family is among the nine ministers, how can they be reconciled?But the final result was that the Wang family was completely defeated, because the emperor favored Gao Long, and finally forced the Wang family to kowtow to Gao Long to apologize, Wang Lao committed suicide in anger, and the remaining Wang family children were finally found by Gao Tu as a "treason" The big crime of copying and beheading.

The more Wei Tianxuan watched, the more horrified he became. After the Gaolong case, hundreds of imperial courts wrote letters to punish the murderer, but in the end the emperor not only refused to listen to the advice, but instead dismissed the imperial court and ordered the imperial examination to be suspended until now.The selection of court officials is no longer based on scientific examinations, but on the recommendation of senior officials. "Absurd!" Wei Tianxuan couldn't help but scolded, seeing Pei Yun's surprised eyes, she came back to her senses, now she is Wei Tianheng, those things are naturally her will.

Pei Yun smiled slightly and said, "It seems that His Majesty has remembered."

"What does the empress mean, that you want me to eliminate the Gao Tu forces in the court?" Wei Tianxuan raised his eyebrows and asked.Pei Yun is the heroine of the small world, the true symbol of "righteous way", acting according to her wishes is equivalent to doing good deeds, and will be more or less rewarded in terms of chivalrous value.But even if there is no chivalry value as a reward, as long as it is something Pei Yun wants to do, there is a voice in Wei Tianxuan calling for her to do it for her.

"Don't dare to cross the line." Pei Yun said so, but his eyes were full of expectation, wasn't he just waiting for Wei Tianxuan's nod?

Wei Tianxuan sighed inwardly, looking into Pei Yun's eyes, she smiled and said, "As you wish."

It's also a coincidence, the matter of Concubine Gao is not over yet, Gao Long got into trouble again.He drank too much and committed crimes in the street. The poor dude who was accidentally beaten to death by him was the only son of the Minister of Criminal Justice.The former Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was servile in front of Gao Tu, but now news came out from the palace that Concubine Gao fell out of favor, and after being abolished, she was thrown into the cold palace, which clearly indicated that the Gao family would be defeated.Furthermore, his son is not a good one, but he is also a single heir for several generations. How can he bear this breath, directly bribe the people in the palace, and send the book to Wei Tianxuan directly across the province.

That day was not a rest day, Gao Long was originally the guard of the palace gate, leaving his post without authorization is a sin, and committing murder is even more sinful.The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was obviously worried that Gao Long would not be killed, and also revealed the truth about last year's "Gao Long's Wife Killing Case", saying that the murder was a real thing, and the inspector was bought by the Gao family, and even later The "rebellion" of the Wang family was also fabricated and deliberately framed.Wei Tianheng did not have the customs of the early dynasty, and Wei Tianxuan was also happy and at ease after being the false emperor, but if some things were not in the court, and he could listen to the opinions of the officials, do you know how many people do not succumb to power?

The Son of Heaven can even hold grand court meetings on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty and the winter solstice, let alone regular participation?The enshrined officials of the fifth rank and above are also used to the days without court attendants, so they are also a bit tired and lazy.Wei Tianxuan was also able to understand their pity, and ordered people to pass the decree one day earlier, but how many people hadn't arrived at Maoshi the next day, and this inquiry was still somewhat related to the Gao family, and it was as if death was imminent. I don't know, the lazy habits of ordinary people.

Wei Tianxuan knew that once this case was overturned, there would be many unjust cases flying into the palace like snowflakes in the future, but it happened to be the queen's wish.She would sit on the dragon chair and put on a show, but it was not comfortable after all, and thanks to Wei Tianheng's notoriety, no matter how outrageous she did things, no one would be surprised anymore.His lazy gaze swept across the standing officials, and finally stopped on Shang Shuling Pei Xiudu, whose appearance was somewhat similar to Pei Yun's, but with a gloomy look in his eyes, which Wei Tianxuan didn't like.The governor of this dynasty also serves as the prime minister, but Pei Xiudu has been the "ruler" and the chief prime minister for several years.The Pei family is a big family that Wei Tianheng can't shake for the time being, so Pei Yun's position can be preserved.

Most of the officials in the court are against each other, and some have suffered from the poison of the Gao family for a long time. Hearing this "Gao Long case", they can't wait to go up and step on it, and drag Gao Tu into the water by the way. At least solve it before the emperor repents. the Gao family.The court official was most indignantly the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and even at the expense of his own interests, he wanted to reveal the affairs of the Gao family.Every time you say something to me, the hall is as noisy as a vegetable market in an instant.

Wei Tianxuan had already come to a conclusion, and the so-called discussion was just a formality.Before the disintegration of the dynasty, she also issued an imperial decree: "The provincial governor and Tong Pingzhangshi and others discussed affairs in the Shuxing Zhengshitang, renamed Shumenxia, ​​and the ruling affairs changed every day." The changes in the harem reflected the previous dynasty. Everyone thought that if the empress was favored, the Pei family would definitely be given preferential treatment, but this imperial decree obviously divided Pei Xiudu's power. In the future, the Book Department will become a standing committee for the prime minister's discussions, and the Shuling will naturally overwhelm the Shang Shuling.
