The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

Concubine Zhu hadn't realized what Gu Min said, but Shen Hui understood it first, and immediately turned around and grabbed Princess Zhu's skirt tightly, as if grabbing the last straw, and said happily: "Yes, concubine mother! Doesn’t our palace have the iron certificate of the alchemy book given by Emperor Taizong? Even if he commits a serious crime of beheading, the iron certificate of the alchemy book can save him from death, won’t you be able to save his son by taking that out?”

Concubine Zhu still remembered the entrustment that King Yong had given her when he left, telling her to take good care of the Iron Book of Pills. If Du Qianren could not survive the punishment and confessed to him, the Iron Book of Dan would be his last life-saving talisman.

On the one hand, Princess Zhu could not bear to betray her husband whom she had married for decades, but on the other hand, she was her son who was born in October of her pregnancy and raised with painstaking efforts. The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and she couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Shaking his head with tears in his eyes, he said: "No, no... this Danshu Iron Coupon cannot be taken out..."

Gu Min sneered slightly, and said: "At this point, the princess still doesn't forget to protect King Yong, but I'm afraid that King Yong might not be able to understand what the princess wants, otherwise why would he only ask to see Concubine Liu by name, but didn't mention anything?" You? The majestic Concubine Yong, who has been riding on the head of a concubine for so many years, King Yong spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, yet the concubine can still bear it until now, it is really generous."

Concubine Zhu raised her head and looked at Gu Min suspiciously, "I didn't expect Lord Gu to know so clearly about the family affairs of my Yong Palace. May I ask what is your purpose for coming to Yong Palace?"

"This Marquis just wants to point out the way for the princess and the son." Gu Min walked around the room for two steps, calmly said, "But since the princess doesn't want to take out the iron coupon of the Dan book to save the son, please forgive me." This Marquis is doing business, and wants to arrest the son and bring him back to the government office, so as to give justice to the Liu family."

After speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and several burly Jin Yiwei rushed in to arrest Shen Hui, and Shen Hui was so frightened that he immediately hugged Princess Zhu's head tightly.Legs, crying loudly: "Mother concubine! Mother concubine! You want to save your son! Don't you have the heart to watch your son being arrested by the government to pay for that Liu Jun's life?"

Concubine Zhu also bent down and hugged her son to protect him, sobbing: "Why would my mother not want to save you, but my mother can't take out the iron coupon of the Dan book, how can there be eggs in a full nest, your father and king If something happens, then the entire Yongwang Mansion will be ruined! It will be death if it is horizontal or vertical, how can our mother and son be so miserable!"

Gu Min raised his hand again, and signaled the Jin Yiwei guards to stop, "If the princess is worried that something will happen to Prince Yong, it will affect the entire Prince Yong's mansion, then it is too much to worry about."

Concubine Zhu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and looked at Gu Min with tears in her eyes, "What do you mean by Gu Houye?"

Gu Min said solemnly: "Actually, this time when the Marquis came to the Yong Palace, there was an order from the Holy Majesty to be delivered to the princess and the prince."

Concubine Zhu was taken aback, "Your Majesty... oral order? For me and Hui'er?"

Gu Min nodded and said, "Princess Yong and Prince Yong's sons are also invited to kneel down to accept the sage's orders."

The people in the room hurriedly lined up and knelt down in front of Gu Min, only to hear Gu Min say in a deep voice: "The sage said in a low voice, King Yong and Du's henchmen committed a rebellion, the crime is unforgivable, and he was ordered to remove his title of King Yong, and he will be punished for life. Imprisoned in Beijing and not allowed to return to the fiefdom! My aunt thought that the son of King Yong killed his relatives righteously, and was the first to sue his father for his meritorious deeds. Therefore, the crime of King Yong did not implicate Princess Yong and his son, and the throne of King Yong was inherited by Shen Hui, the son of King Yong. !"

After the oral order was read out, Concubine Zhu and Shen Hui froze in place as if they had been struck by lightning, as if they didn't know what had happened, they were stunned, and they repeated what Gu Min said just now, "Justice kills relatives!" ...The first report is meritorious..."

Seeing this, Gu Min silently curled his lower lip, raised his voice and said coldly: "Why, the concubine and the prince are unwilling to accept the order? The crimes committed by King Yong have been fully exposed. If you still persist in your obsession, you will inevitably suffer the same disaster. This Marquis advises you not to disappoint the Emperor's painstaking efforts."

In the end, it was Shen Hui who came to his senses first, clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind, kowtowed and said, "I accept the order! Thank you Lord Long En!"

Concubine Zhu looked at her son in shock, grabbed Shen Hui's arm, and said, "Hui'er! Are you crazy?!"

"Mother concubine! My son is not crazy! My son has never been so sober as he is now!" Shen Hui grabbed Princess Zhu's shoulder and shook, "Didn't you listen to the emperor's edict? As long as we can kill relatives righteously, I will You will be able to inherit the title of King Yong! At that time, in Prince Yong’s mansion, I will be King Yong, and you will be the concubine, so you don’t have to worry about anyone stepping on our mother and son’s heads anymore!”

Concubine Zhu slapped Shen Hui backhandedly, and said with a sob: "But what about your father! That's your biological father, how can we betray him!"

Shen Hui pouted his neck and gritted his teeth: "Father, he loves the Liu family, and when he wanted to abandon our mother and son, he thought about the relationship between you and him for decades, did he think that I am his biological son? Concubine mother! Wake up! If the king comes back, if that bastard from the Liu family instigates you, mother and son, there will still be a way out? He was the one who let us down first, and if we don’t do it for ourselves, what is wrong with me!”

Concubine Zhu was shocked by Shen Hui's angry words, but after thinking about it, what her son said was indeed reasonable. No matter whether King Yong can come back, their mother and child will not end well, it is better to cut off their arms now. After losing their husbands, they can still keep the glory and wealth of their mother and child!

"That's why this Marquis said just now that the prince sees things more clearly than the princess." Gu Min sneered, "Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they fly separately in the face of disaster. Does the princess want to see the entire Palace of Yong to be buried with him? "

"Mother Concubine!" Seeing that Princess Zhu was silent, Shen Hui couldn't help yelling anxiously. Princess Zhu woke up, looked up at her son, took a deep breath, turned around and prostrated herself on the ground, "Princess Yong, Mrs. Zhu Please obey the Holy Spirit! Thank you Lord Long En!"

Gu Min said with satisfaction: "Those who know the current affairs are outstanding. If the Holy Majesty knows that the princess and the son are so understanding of righteousness, he will be very happy. Please hurry up and invite the two of you."

Concubine Zhu and Shen Hui supported each other to get up, although they temporarily saved themselves, but the feeling of killing relatives righteously is not good, both of them also looked ashamed and there was no joy flowing out.

Suddenly, Jin Yiwei came to report from outside, saying that the prefect of Yongcheng had sent an officer to invite the prince to the government office to ask about the inside story of Liu Jun's death. Shen Hui looked at Princess Zhu at a loss, and Princess Zhu looked at himself His son let out a long sigh, shook his head in resignation, went into the inner room, took out half of the iron coupon of the Danshu, and handed it to Gu Min.

"Gu Hou Ye, this is half of the iron coupon of the alchemy book in Prince Yong's mansion, and the other half is kept in the palace. I will return this half of the iron coupon of the alchemy book to the court today. crime."

Gu Min took half of the iron coupon of the alchemy book and looked at it, "Don't worry, princess, since you have the iron coupon of the alchemy book, the emperor will pardon your son's crime of murder according to the law, but..."

Shen Hui anxiously asked: "It's just what?"

Gu Min looked at Shen Hui and said leisurely: "It's just that murder is a serious crime. Even if the relatives of the emperor who committed murder in the past have iron coupons in the Dan book, they are still punishable by capital punishment. Living crimes cannot be escaped, otherwise they will not be enough to convince the public."

Shen Hui couldn't understand Gu Min's subtext, but Princess Zhu understood what Gu Min meant in an instant. She was also thinking just now that the emperor would be fine if he didn't implicate them, and even let Shen Hui inherit the throne of King Yong. How can there be such a good thing?

Pie will not fall in vain in the sky, so you must pay a price if you want to win the title.

And what does the emperor want most in Yongwang's mansion?

Concubine Zhu figured it out as soon as she thought about it, and said to Gu Min: "Please also ask Gu Houye to present the memorial to the emperor on our behalf. Yongwang Palace is willing to hand over the two guards in the center and the right of Yongzhou to the imperial court for dispatch, and only the left guard will be left. Serve, please allow the emperor!"

Gu Min bowed to Concubine Zhu, "Concubine Gao Yi, if this is the case, this Marquis can return to Beijing to report to the emperor!"

Concubine Zhu forced a bitter smile, and she didn't want Gao Yi, but now, besides handing over the military power, does she have any choice?

But she also understands the virtues of her son, he doesn't have the courage and courage to be a prince, he is only suitable to be a rich and idle person, so it is useless for Shen Hui to hold the military power in his hand, it is better to throw this hot potato out Well, if you sell it well in front of the emperor, at least you can exchange for a lifetime of glory and wealth.

Gu Min suddenly said again: "There is another person who wants to ask the concubine to hand it over to me and bring him back to the capital together."

Princess Zhu didn't know, so, "Who?"

Gu Min smiled slightly, "Du Chengmei."

—

With the help of her maid, Liu followed Jin Yiwei into the imperial prison tremblingly, and came outside the cell where King Yong was being held.

As soon as the door of the cell was opened, an unpleasant smell came blowing in. Liu Shi resisted the feeling of nausea, walked into the cell with a handkerchief covering her nose, and yelled at a person lying in the corner inside. : "My lord, I have come to see you."

King Yong sat up from the ground when he heard the voice, and was surprised when he saw Mrs. Liu appearing here, "Why are you here?" King Yong stood up and walked towards Mrs. Liu, and then looked behind Mrs. Seeing other people, I couldn't help asking disappointedly, "Where is the princess? Didn't she come?"

The Liu family wept and said: "Princess? The concubine is in the palace. Didn't you let the concubine come to Beijing to accompany you?"

King Yong was puzzled, "When did this king... wait, who told you that this king let you go to Beijing?"

Liu Shi said: "It was the emperor's order to send someone to the palace to take over the concubine."

King Yong's eyes were fixed on Liu Shi, and Liu Shi's expression didn't look like a lie. Suddenly he thought of something, and he slapped it big.Legs, looking at the door of the cell with tears in his eyes: "It's over! It's going to be bad! The emperor wants to sow discord!"

—

Gu Min brought the memorabilia written by Concubine Zhu and Shen Hui to denounce King Yong's treason, the half iron certificate of Danshu handed down by three generations of Prince Yong's mansion, and the military power of the three guards in Yongzhou, the two guards on the right and Du Chengmei. We went back to Beijing together.

With these few things and people in hand, the alliance between Du Qianren and King Yong has completely collapsed, King Yong's crime of treason is a certainty, and there is no chance of turning over.

Before the interrogation by the three divisions, the repairs to the imperial palace had almost been completed. Although Shen Ying hadn't moved back to Yongle Palace from Linyang Marquis Mansion yet, she restored the early dynasty first.

On the first morning court after Shen Ying returned to the capital for more than a month, Shen Ying ordered Jin Yiwei to take King Yong out of the imperial prison, escort him to the palace, and interrogate King Yong himself in front of many civil and military officials.

Ever since King Yong met Concubine Liu, he had already guessed that the situation was over for him, and he completely lost his calmness at the beginning. After a few days of fear and anxiety in the prison, he had lost all energy and energy, and no one was there. It was difficult for him to walk with his own support, and in the end he was almost dragged up to the hall by Jin Yiwei.

King Yong knelt down in front of the line of civil and military officials, like a defeated rooster.

Shen Ying first ordered the eunuch to read to all the officials the memorial written by the son of King Yong, Shen Hui, who accused King Yong of treason. This is the first time Yingchao has happened. It is really unseen and unheard of.

And King Yong kept cursing Princess Zhu and Shen Hui in a low voice: "Bastard! Poisonous woman! Rebellious son! Slut!"

When the eunuch finished reading the memorandum, Shen Ying took it over, patted it on the table, looked at King Yong who was kneeling under the steps with a half-smile, and asked, "King Yong, your concubine and son identified you There is an act of treason, can you admit it?"

King Yong raised his head, looked at Shen Ying angrily, and said loudly: "This king denies it! That beast and poisonous woman must have been bewitched by someone, and they are slandering this king!"

"Oh? Slander?" Shen Ying sneered, "You really don't shed tears when you see the coffin. Come here! Submit physical evidence!"

An eunuch came up with a tray, Shen Ying picked up a stack of letters on the tray, threw it under the stage, and threw it in front of King Yong, "This is a letter written between you and Du Qianren in private. It was written in vain, what else do you have to say?"

King Yong glanced at the letters scattered on the ground, and couldn't help but his eyes turned dark. Before he left, he asked Concubine Zhu to burn all these letters. Unexpectedly, that bitch would dare not listen to him, and had already saved the letter to harm him. Heart!

"Nothing to say?" Shen Ying stood up, with her hands behind her back, and said in a majestic manner, "Then pass on my will, the evidence of King Yong's treason is solid, and there is no way to deny it. From now on, his title will be cut and his clan status will be removed. , imprisoned in Beijing for life, as an example to others!"

King Yong raised his anger and protested loudly: "You can't imprison me! I have the iron certificate of the alchemy book bestowed by Emperor Taizong, which can exonerate me from one crime! Even if you are the emperor, you can't punish me!"

"Is Uncle Yong talking about this iron coupon of the Danshu?" Shen Ying picked up a piece of iron shaped like a tile on the table, and said leisurely, "That's really unfortunate. Not long ago, the eldest son Shen Hui killed someone in the street. , Concubine Yong has already taken out this iron coupon of the alchemy book that Emperor Taizong bestowed on Prince Yong's mansion to save his son, so there will be no iron coupons of alchemy book in Yong's manor from now on!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Ying threw the iron coupon of the Danshu in his hand like scrap iron at the feet of King Yong. King Yong picked up his last life-saving talisman in disbelief and looked at it carefully. After the piece of King Yong's Mansion, he couldn't help but lose all hope, his hands began to tremble non-stop, and the iron coupon of the Danshu fell from his hand, and hit the ground with a bang, the sound was like a ruthless mockery, which sounded extremely ironic up.

Shen Ying looked condescendingly at the officials below and said: "Prince Yong conspired against him, and his family members should have been blamed, but I think it is for the sake of Concubine Yong and the son's righteous extermination of relatives, the first accusation of meritorious service, and the voluntary surrender of the two guards of Yongzhou to the imperial court." , pardon his crimes, and allow the eldest son Shen Hui to inherit the throne of King Yong, do you have any objections?"

All the officials said in unison: "Your majesty is wise! I have no objection!"

They said that they had no objection, but they were muttering in their hearts. The son accused Lao Tzu of treason, and the son did not say anything guilty, but he was able to attack the noble. If this matter was uploaded from this Golden Temple to the ears of the princes everywhere, I am afraid they will not even hear it at night. I can't sleep anymore, if someone gives birth to an unfilial son and imitates Prince Yong's behavior like this, then it is really better to cut off all children and grandchildren!

Of course, Shen Ying didn't really want to praise Shen Hui. Now that Yongzhou's military power has been removed, it is no longer a threat to the imperial court. The reason why he let Shen Hui, a waste, continue to be King Yong is also to deceive other feudal lords and avoid being exposed for the time being. He has the heart to cut down the vassals, so that the vassal kings can relax their vigilance.

The problem of feudal kings has always been a serious problem for those in power in all dynasties. The policy of reducing feudal vassals has to be judged according to the situation, and measures should be taken according to the situation. It is different in all dynasties. The rebellion of the country, the rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty and so on.

So Shen Ying was not in a hurry to remove all the power in the hands of the vassal king. History has given him many examples of such failures in cutting down the vassal. Like this time, the power of Yongwangfu was disintegrated from the inside without a single soldier, and the military power of Yongzhou was taken back. The best strategy is to achieve the goal of reducing the feudal clan.

After the trial of King Yong, Shen Ying returned to the Linyang Marquis Mansion again.

Suddenly someone came to report to Shen Ying, saying that Du Qianren wanted to see him in prison, claiming that he had something important to tell him.

Shen Ying was a little surprised. Since Du Qianren was imprisoned for more than a month, he has always been in a state of giving up and waiting for death. At this time, he asked to see him. Maybe he knew that Du Chengmei was in his hands, so he wanted to spit out something. In exchange for his son's life?

Shen Ying sneered, and said to the person who reported: "Go and tell Du Qianren that if he wants to confess that King Yong is his accomplice at this time, then there is no need. Someone has already taken the credit for the first accusation, and he woke up too late. You are not worthy of negotiating terms with me."

But I didn't expect that the person in charge of the report would go and come back. What Du Qianren wanted to talk about was not about King Yong, but about... Gu Min.

This Du Qianren really did everything he could to save his son's life, and he didn't know Gu Min well, so how could he know what happened to Gu Min?

But Shen Ying was also curious about what kind of tricks he could get out of Du Qianren's mouth, so he told people: "It seems that he won't give up if he doesn't see me. If that's the case, then bring him here to see me."

Gu Min happened to be out of the city today, so Beizhen Fusi did not inform Gu Min, and directly arranged for Jin Yiwei to send Du Qianren to Linyang Marquis Mansion.

Shen Ying hadn't seen Du Qianren for a long time. The old man in ragged clothes and white hair was very different from the Du Shoufu in his memory who was an extremely personable official and ranked among the third princes.

Du Qianren knelt down and saluted tremblingly, "The guilty minister please bow to the emperor!"

"Zhen An." Shen Ying sat at the head, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and said slowly, "It's been a long time since Grand Master, I never thought that when we meet again, it will be like today. I don't know Grand Master During these days of reflection in prison, can you regret what you have done?"

Du Qianren smiled wryly and said: "The guilty minister knows that he has sinned deeply, so he has no face to face the saint again, but the guilty minister is already dying, it is better to say some things before he dies than to bring them into the coffin, so that he can redeem himself sin."

"Whether the atonement can be made or not depends on the value of what the grand master said." Shen Ying casually took the lid of the cup and skimmed the tea foam, "If what the grand master wants to say is about King Yong, then don't bother to talk about it." That's it, Concubine Yong has already told me about the matter between you, what you know is of no value to me."

Du Qianren said slowly: "Don't worry, your majesty, what the criminal minister wants to tell the emperor has nothing to do with King Yong, but about Gu Shaojun, the emperor's favorite recently. Speaking of Gu Shaojun, I have to mention the fraud case of this year's scientific examination. The son of the criminal minister is indeed The criminals are terrible, but the emperor knows, who sold the answer to the palace test to the dog?"

Shen Ying's eyebrows moved imperceptibly, she gently closed the lid of the teacup, put it on the table next to her, and looked at Du Qianren: "You want to say it's Junshu?"

Du Qianren nodded, "That's right, it's Gu Shaojun! The guilty minister has already found out that it was Gu Shaojun who came up with such a way to frame the guilty minister in order to please Guo Jiuchen. Cover the sky!"

"So you put all your effort into asking to see me just to say this?" Shen Ying snorted softly, shook her head and said, "It's a pity, I already know what you said."

Du Qianren was a little surprised, "The emperor knows? Then why do you still..."

"Is it true that you still favor Junshu so much?" Shen Ying interrupted Du Qianren lightly, "Because I believe that he did it for a reason, maybe he wanted to overthrow you in order to please Guo Jiuchen, but now he is the one who helped you. I quelled the rebellion and helped me wipe out the influence of you and Empress Dowager Liu, so no matter what he did before, I will not care about it. Grand Master, if you just want to provoke the relationship between me and Junshu, then Don't waste your time, I still have a lot of memorials to approve, I don't have time to listen to you."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ying got up and planned to leave, but when she was about to walk to the door, she heard Du Qianren behind him asking loudly: "Your Majesty! Then do you still remember Xu Wenjie?!"

Shen Ying paused, who was Xu Wenjie?Such a strange name, why did Du Qianren ask him if he remembered Xu Wenjie?

When Du Qianren heard the emperor's footsteps stop behind him, he knew that the emperor was interested in his words, so he hurriedly turned around on his knees, looked at Shen Ying's face, and said confidently: "Looking at the emperor's reaction, we should It's because I don't remember who Xu Wenjie is, and it seems that Gu Shaojun didn't tell the emperor about his real life experience."

Shen Ying turned around, frowned, and asked, "Who is this Xu Wenjie you mentioned, and is he related to Gu Min?"

Du Qianren seemed a little surprised that Shen Ying didn't remember Xu Wenjie at all, but this also showed that the emperor and Gu Min were not completely honest with each other, so this gave him an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Naturally, there is a relationship, and it has a deep relationship." Du Qianren smiled strangely, exuding an aura of conspiracy, "Your Majesty, you know that Gu Shaojun, who is by your side day and night, is actually the queen who conspired against the sinner? Your father Gaozong The emperor, once ordered his entire family to be ransacked, who do you think would sincerely assist the son of an enemy who killed his entire family and had a blood feud with him?"

The author has something to say: Shen Riyang: The killing of Gu Min's family is Shen Ying's father, what does it have to do with me, Shen Riyang?
