Chapter 7: Eat less wolfberry and you will lose your waist
How much hatred is this that Concubine Wan willingly frames her for death?
She shouldn't have sex after sleeping, it's not gold, and she doesn't have diamonds.
So Yang Shuangzai carefully recalled her enemy. Ten days ago was the eighth day of the September 19th. Among the enemies she killed by herself, who died on this day?
After thinking for a while, Yang Shuang had no idea.
Since this clue is useless for the time being, let’s consider it from other places.
"For five years after the nobleman Wan entered the palace, there was no one around who had followed her for many years. This is not normal!" Yang Shuang said.
Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "I think so too, so I ordered someone to check the information of the Nei Tingshi overnight last night and found that when Concubine Wan entered the palace, there were still three confidant palace maids around him. Unfortunately, one died of illness, one violated the palace rules and was killed by a stick. The last one was over 25 years old, and he was released from the palace last year."
"Where is this palace maid from?" Yang Shuang asked.
Wei Zhongxian replied: "Like the ancestral home of noble Wan, they are from Qingzhou, and they entered the palace at the same time with noble Wan."
As he said that, Wei Zhongxian presented the information about Concubine Wan to Yang Shuang.
Yang Shuang looked carefully. Guiren Wan was from Qingzhou Prefecture City, and his real name was Ding Xueya. The Ding family was a wealthy clan in Qingzhou. Her grandfather once served as the Minister of Rites and resigned.
Judging from the information, Yang Shuang, Wang Ren and his family have no intersection, let alone hatred.
"It is not necessarily true to see it. We must have neglected something. Wei Zhongxian immediately sent a message to Duke Ming, asking him to send his confidant to Qingzhou to check the Ding family well, and at the same time trying his best to find the palace maid who left the palace." Yang Shuang ordered.
Wei Zhongxian bowed his hand to receive the order, but he said worriedly: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, it took a while for Yanjing to go back and forth to Qingzhou. I am worried that it is too late. Your Majesty may submit an edict to depose at any time."
Yang Shuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Duke of Ming has delayed the time according to the orphan's wishes!"
"Your Majesty is in a state of anger. Can you successfully delay?" Wei Zhongxian was still worried.
Yang Shuang nodded, and his eyes looked out the window. At this time, the delay plan should have begun.
At this time, the Tai Chi Hall was majestic and dignified.
Emperor Yang Jian summoned three high-ranking officials to discuss the deposing of the crown prince.
His Majesty sat upright on the dragon throne and shouted in a deep voice: "The prince is despicable, ignores the rules and regulations, is contrary to human ethics, loses morality and is not qualified to inherit the throne and protect the country's destiny. I have decided to depose his position as the prince and demote him to a commoner. All my dear ministers, are you all loyal ministers of the Great Sui Dynasty, do you have something to say?"
There were five old men sitting in the hall, namely the Shangshu Ling of the Shangshu Ling, the Zhongshu Ling of the Menxia Provincial Department, the Junshi Provincial Department's Junshi Provincial Department's Junshi Provincial Department's Junshi Provincial Department's Junshi Secretary, and the Junshi Secretary of Rites Minister of Political Affairs.
All five of them have the power of prime minister and are the highest officials in the Sui Dynasty.
When the five of them heard His Majesty’s inquiry, they were expressionless.
Among these five people, Zuo Beidou, the assistant minister of the disciple, supported the prince Yang Shuang. He had been pleading for Yang Shuang, but today he chose to remain silent. This move made other old people feel different.
Zuo Beidou looked at his nose and thought of the Ming Dynasty bus last night. Although he was surprised, he chose to do so. So he stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
The other old men laughed in their hearts, thinking that he would be silent, and now the good show is on.
Yang Jian's face darkened, and he naturally knew that Zuo Beidou tried his best to dissuade him from deposing the crown prince. If it weren't for his age and loyalty, Yang Jian would have wanted to give him a knife.
If he still talks nonsense today and stops himself, he will definitely not be forgiven and let him know that my sharp knife is already hungry.
"Say!" Yang Jian shouted.
Zuo Beidou naturally heard His Majesty's anger. He ignored it and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the crown prince of the country. It is related to the foundation of the country. If you depose it at will, it may cause national movement. Now the Huns in the north are eyeing each other, and the Western Tang Dynasty is becoming increasingly powerful. The Wei Kingdom, separated by a river, works hard to govern. The old thief of Cao Cao built warships and expanded the navy, and was full of ambitions. It is really unwise to depose the crown prince at this time."
Speaking of this, Zuo Beidou noticed that His Majesty's face became more gloomy and had already reached the verge of furiousness.
The other colleagues looked at the show.
Just when the atmosphere in the hall was depressing, Zuo Beidou cleared his throat and continued: "But..."
At the turn, the other old men looked shocked, and Shangshuling even choked with saliva and began to cough violently. He didn't expect that one would come.
Emperor Yang Jian was furious and looked at Zuo Beidou in surprise and asked, "But what?"
Zuo Beidou replied: "But the crown prince is related to the foundation of the country, and it is also the hope for the future of the Sui Dynasty. If the crown prince has no talent and virtue, is free from wits and virtue, and occupying the position of crown prince is a blasphemy of the foundation of the country. Therefore, I agree with Your Majesty's decision to depose the crown prince."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Aren’t you the one who supports the prince? Are you not classmates, close friends, friends, and collusion with you?
Why did you go back on your word and put a knife behind your back?
Even Emperor Yang Jian looked suspicious and couldn't help asking: "Zuo Aiqing, are you sick?"
Zuo Beidou sighed inwardly, he was upright, and supporting the prince was supporting the prince. He would rather die than surrender, but who told Zhuge Nantian that bastard asked him to say this, which simply ruined his character.
"Your Majesty, I am very healthy and I speak human words!" Zuo Beidou said solemnly.
Yang Jian was overjoyed and said, "Okay! I never expected that Zuo Aiqing was so sensible. I am very pleased, then I..."
Unexpectedly, before Yang Jian finished speaking, Zuo Beidou made another turn: "Your Majesty, let's wait. But..."
grass!
A curse flashed through the hearts of others, and there were a lot of twists.
Even Emperor Yang Jian was flashed and looked at Zuo Beidou speechlessly.
If you eat less wolfberry, you will shivered your waist.
Zuo Beidou continued: "But I am worried. The prince's actions were a royal scandal. If it is known to everyone in the world, I may lose all my face. Therefore, I must conceal the matters that the prince committed and ask him to be deposed. What does your Majesty think?"
Yang Jian immediately nodded in agreement.
His beloved concubine was sleeping with her son. If the crown prince was deposed because of this incident and the world knew about it, the face of the Sui royal family would be completely lost. Is his emperor's face still worth it? And he would be made fun of by neighboring countries and become a national humiliation.
What will others think?
Is it because my father is powerful or my son is powerful?
Maybe only Guiren Wan knows it.
Therefore, the crime of deposing the crown prince cannot be mentioned.
Zuo Beidou continued: "Your Majesty, if you cannot mention the fault of the crown prince and convict him, this fault will be difficult to find. Even if you find one and can win the trust of the world, I am worried that once the empress dowager finally knows the situation, I may feel unhappy."
Yang Jian was stunned, and the others in the hall were also shocked.
The Empress Dowager was still alive, but she did not live in the palace, but in the royal summer resort.
This year, the summer is hot, so the Queen Mother went to the Summer Resort and was used to living, so she stayed until autumn.
The things Yang Shuang committed have not yet been passed to the Empress Dowager.
"Your Majesty, I think that the crimes committed by the crown prince cannot be forgiven. If the empress dowager knows, he will agree to depose him. But if he hides it from the empress dowager, the empress dowager may blame His Majesty. Your Majesty is a kind and filial person, so it is better to ask the empress dowager first and then depose him for other mistakes. What does Your Majesty think?" Zuo Beidou suggested.
Hearing Zuo Beidou's words, Yang Jian nodded in agreement.
If he really deposed the crown prince with other negligence, he would have to explain it to the empress dowager at that time, which would only add to the trouble. Since the prince’s actions are unforgivable, what’s the harm to tell the empress dowager first?
Seeing His Majesty nodding, Zuo Beidou bowed and sat down.
