Fengyi Palace.
From the moment the palace maid reported that the eldest prince was awake, Queen Song began to panic.
She sat on the phoenix chair, lost in thought.
In order to suppress the uneasiness that kept rising in her heart, Queen Song served tea.
Just as he picked up the tea cup, the young father-in-law walked in quickly and said anxiously, "Queen, it's not good! Prince Jin has been arrested and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"
Clang.
Queen Song's hand holding the tea shook.
The tea cup fell to the ground.
Torn apart.
At that moment, Queen Song felt that the sky was falling, and there was no color on her face.
The news that King Jin was imprisoned spread throughout the civil and military ears of the court. The people of the big prince's party cried out in joy. The hearts and hearts of the people of King Jin's party were shaking like a sieve. They followed King Jin and lived a life of ups and downs. Many people can't stand it.
A few days ago, the left prime minister was suddenly imprisoned without any news. Fortunately, he was treated lightly in the end. Why is it the turn of King Jin again today? !
Thinking of the serious injury of the eldest prince and the burning of the observation building of Prince Ling's Mansion, everyone in Prince Jin's party prayed that these two incidents had nothing to do with Prince Jin, otherwise they would not know how many people would be implicated.
But praying was in vain, and soon it spread that King Jin was arrested for assassinating the eldest prince——
And the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and there is no such thing as taking any chances.
The people of the Jin Wang Party also fell.
The next day, Shen Wan woke up, sat on the bed and stretched, when Yin Shuang bumped in and told her, "This morning, Duke Mao Guo led a group of ministers to ask the emperor to execute the King of Jin according to the law..."
Shen Wan had no reaction after hearing this, because it was expected.
Xie Jingyin wanted to put the eldest prince to death. Now that the eldest prince has woken up, the evidence in his hand can kill Xie Jingyin. It is strange that the prince's party did not ask the emperor to execute Xie Jingyin.
It's just that tigers are poisonous and do not eat their children. Even if Xie Jingyin committed a capital crime, the emperor might not be willing to kill him. In the past dynasties, the princes were mostly demoted to common people and sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. Exile was a very severe punishment. It is rare to kill directly, unless it is regicide and rebellion.
It was too common for princes to kill each other.
But with the Queen Mother here, Xie Jingyin's life could not be saved even if the Emperor wanted to.
Duke Mao Guo asked the emperor to execute King Jin in the court hall, but the emperor did not give the order on the spot. After going to court, the Queen Mother went to the imperial study to put pressure on the emperor.
The Queen Mother arrived at the Imperial Study Room with the support of Nanny Zhao.
The Queen Mother couldn't eat or sleep these days. If Xie Jingyan hadn't asked Zhao Yuanzheng to say that the eldest prince's condition had improved, the Queen Mother would have fallen ill long ago.
Now that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, the Queen Mother will never agree unless the emperor executes Xie Jingyin.
The Queen Mother went to the imperial study room full of anger. She didn't say much, just dropped one sentence and left.
"If your Majesty doesn't execute Prince Jin, just wait and collect the body of the Ai family!"
The Queen Mother is not just talking.
The Queen Mother knew that the Emperor's decision was not easy to make. After all, once the head was cut off, it could not be put back on. The Emperor also needed a few days to accept this matter. However, thinking of Xie Jingyin's assassination of the eldest prince, who was still not out of danger, the Queen Mother's heart It's extremely hard.
It is difficult for the emperor to make a decision, so she, the queen mother, can help him make a decision!
The Queen Mother's hunger strike forced the Emperor to make an early decision.
Originally, the Queen Mother had been struggling for the past few days and fell completely ill after not eating two meals.
In the afternoon that day, Shen Wan was still sleeping when she was woken up by Yin Shuang. Shen Wan murmured, "What's the matter?"
Yinshuang said quickly, "The emperor has ordered King Jin to be executed."
"In seven days, he will be executed in public at the city gate!"
A sudden shock struck Shen Wan and she suddenly woke up. She quickly sat up and asked, "Is this serious?"
When Shen Wan asked this question, she realized that what she was asking was nonsense.
No one dares to spread rumors about such a big matter.
In particular, Xie Jingyin's crime was originally a capital crime. If the Queen Mother continued to exert pressure, how could the Emperor not execute him according to the law?
It's just that she wanted Xie Jingyin to be defeated for too long, but in the end he was executed so easily, and it was at the hands of the eldest prince, not them, which always gave her an unreal feeling.
Shen Wan pinched her thigh secretly.
It hurts.
Not dreaming.
Shen Wan was in an unprecedented good mood.
Shen Wan couldn't sleep anymore, so she lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Yinshuang helped her comb her hair again. As soon as she finished combing it, Dong'er came in and said, "Princess, the queen is kneeling outside the imperial study, asking the emperor to spare the death of King Jin." …”
Shen Wan looked at herself in the bronze mirror, with a mocking arc on her lips.
I don’t know where Empress Song got the face to beg the emperor to spare her son from the death penalty. Why didn’t she try to persuade her son when he killed the eldest prince?
The eldest prince must die, but her son cannot die, right?
After Xie Jingyin was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, he knew that he was bound to die, so he took all the blame on himself. Empress Song and the newly demoted Zuo Xiang had no knowledge of the assassination of the eldest prince, and it was he who committed it alone .
What's even more strange is that Duke Mao Guo only asked the emperor to execute the King of Jin in the court, but did not ask the emperor to deal with the Queen of Song and the Prime Minister at the same time. This is really puzzling.
However, the imperial edict has been issued, and the emperor cannot take back the order. It will be useless for Empress Song to kneel to death outside the imperial study.
When Xie Jingyan came back from the study, Shen Wan asked him, "Why was the Queen not implicated in King Jin's murder of the eldest prince?"
When something happened to Concubine Chen, the emperor was angry with Xie Jingyan, but Shen Wan also knew that the emperor's anger over Concubine Chen was far greater than Xie Jingyan's attempt to murder the eldest prince.
Xie Jingyan said, "The King of Jin took all the blame. The Queen Mother and Duke Mao did not ask the Emperor to deal with the Queen of Song. It is unlikely that the Emperor will deal with the Queen."
Shen Wan couldn't understand, "Why did the Queen Mother and Duke Mao let the Queen go?"
She understands the principle of cutting off the grass and eradicating the roots.
It's not that the Queen Mother and Duke Mao don't want to, it's that they can't.
Xie Jingyan said, "Because the King of Jin has ironclad evidence that Duke Mao and the eldest prince secretly sold the Meizhou granary."
Shen Wan had already forgotten this incident. She said, "Didn't King Jin and the eldest prince suppress this matter under the coordination of King Cheng?"
It was suppressed at that time, but now that King Jin has committed a capital crime, it doesn't matter whether there is evidence of the Xizhou Dam corruption case, but the eldest prince is different.
Xie Jingyin failed in his attempt to kill the eldest prince, but instead put himself in a desperate situation. Without the King of Jin as his opponent, and Xie Jingyan's mother-in-law had not reversed the case, the eldest prince had great hope of being established as the crown prince.
Once the Meizhou Granary case is revealed again, it will be tantamount to ruining the crown prince's position that the eldest prince has almost obtained.
The lesser of two evils.
As long as Xie Jingyin dies, Empress Song will have no children and will not be able to stir up trouble. Moreover, the most indispensable thing in the world is people who add insult to injury. From now on, Empress Song will have a difficult time in the harem. Sooner or later, she will give up this post, and there is no need to do it for the sake of temporary pride. , bet on the bright future of the eldest prince.
Xie Jingyin used the evidence in his hand to ask Duke Mao not to implicate his murder of the eldest prince on Empress Song and the Prime Minister Zuo. The referendum of Mao could only target Xie Jingyin alone.
Shen Wan was a little depressed, "Who would believe that the Queen and the Prime Minister were unaware of such a big matter?"
Xie Jingyan said, "It doesn't matter whether you or I believe it. What's important is that the eldest prince believes it, and so do the Queen Mother and Duke Mao."
She thought that this was how she would avenge her previous life, but after all, she thought too well.
Unless Empress Song dies, her revenge will not be avenged.
