Chapter 3280 Harem 60
Empress Dowager Yu saw that the emperor didn't accept her words at all and gave her a guarantee that he would not kill her. She knew that she was probably doomed now. She couldn't help but hate and be afraid. At that moment, she couldn't help but hate the palace maids and eunuchs who reported her.
, after all, if they hadn't reported themselves in order to show themselves in front of the emperor, the emperor would never know about it, and as long as the emperor didn't know about it, she would be fine. So from the beginning to the end, it was those palace ladies and eunuchs who were bad
.
Thinking of this, Queen Mother Yu looked at the palace maids and eunuchs coldly and said: "Your Majesty still uses people like this who betray their master, and you are not afraid that one day such people will betray you!"
Those nuns and eunuchs couldn't help but froze when they heard the provocative words of the Empress Dowager, fearing that the emperor would take these words seriously and treat them badly, and all their hard work would be in vain.
As a result, the emperor said calmly: "They don't call it betrayal, they call it betrayal. Could it be that you have harmed so many people and others can't report you? If they don't report you, then it's called complicity."
After hearing the emperor's words, those maids and eunuchs immediately felt relieved, and at the same time, they became more loyal to the emperor. After all, how could they not be loyal to the emperor who spoke for them like this?
Seeing that the instigation failed, Empress Dowager Yu could only wilt completely.
Her original intention was to provoke the emperor to dislike these people, so that even if these people betrayed her, they would not end well. Unexpectedly, the emperor found out clearly.
The emperor said that the Empress Dowager Yu would "die of illness", which was certainly not a lie. He would definitely let the Empress Dowager Yu "die of illness". Even if the Empress Dowager Yu wanted to fight to the death, she should have communicated with her parents' family and sent them a message so that they could prepare in advance, saying that the emperor was going to deal with it.
Yu family, or let them spread the news to the outside world, saying that the emperor wanted to kill his mother, it was impossible, because the emperor soon locked up the queen mother, and sent people to watch as he did to empress Liu, and no one was allowed to
See.
Then after a period of time, it was said that the Queen Mother Yu was ill, and finally after another period of time, the Queen Mother Yu "died" of illness.
The people in the Cheng'en Palace had always been in contact with the Queen Mother, but suddenly they couldn't contact the Queen Mother, so they wanted to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother.
However, not everyone can go to the palace if they want to. They have to obey an order to enter. In the past, Empress Dowager Yu would summon them in, but now that Empress Dowager Yu is locked up, she cannot summon them. Even if Duke Cheng'en wants to see them, there is nothing they can do.
Later, news came out that the Queen Mother was ill. Duke Cheng'en thought that the previous concubines had followed similar tactics, so they thought, could this mean that the emperor wanted to kill the Queen Mother?
Shocked and angry, the people from the Cheng'en Palace asked to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, but the emperor ignored them. And without evidence, they did not dare to spread the news that the emperor had killed his mother outside, for fear of being exposed.
Got it, said they slandered the emperor, and wanted to behead them.
Although they were angry that the emperor wanted to kill the queen mother, they did not dare to further anger the emperor and let him kill them. After all, people are greedy for life and afraid of death.
So this group of people could only watch the Empress Dowager Yu "die" of illness, and there was no way they could do anything about it.
I just think about the spiritual victory method in my heart, thinking that the Queen Mother Yu is dead, and everyone in the capital knows that it was the emperor who killed her. They don't need to spread the news about the emperor's mother-killing, everyone knows it, so the emperor's reputation can't be lost, so there's no need.
They spread the news and the emperor was unhappy when they found out, which was good.
But the emperor didn't want others to say that he killed his mother for no reason. After all, everyone knew that he killed those concubines before because they wanted to harm the children in An Ran's belly and wanted their grandson to be in power. So although the people knew that
Regarding this matter, I think the emperor did the right thing. After all, those people committed the crime of treason and deserved to die no matter what.
And at this moment, if people outside don't know that Queen Mother Yu killed her biological mother, they may feel that something is wrong if they kill Queen Mother Yu themselves. That is naturally not what the emperor wants to see. He doesn't want evil people to do bad things.
, was killed, and others still sympathized with the evildoer, but blamed the person who punished her.
It just so happened that Duke Cheng'en was an accomplice and had committed many things, and he also had to deal with them.
How to deal with them, of course, is to make their crimes public, and by the way, Queen Mother Yu's crimes are also made public, so that there is no need to worry about killing Queen Mother Yu, which will damage her reputation.
So soon, the family members of the concubines who had been harmed and killed by the Queen Mother Yu and the Chengen Duke's Palace in the past sued the Cheng'en Duke's Palace. This was naturally arranged by the emperor. Of course, they were willing to do so. After all,
My own girl got pregnant and gave birth to a prince in the palace. She was supposed to have a great future, but because she was harmed by the Yu family, she ended up with nothing. Who can accept this fact? It’s just that the Cheng’en Palace was protected by the Queen Mother, and the emperor was unable to do so.
Liu Shoufu had the ability to kill Duke Cheng'en, but he did not intend to fight to the death with the Yu family and let his political opponents take advantage, so they had no way to appeal.
Now that someone has testified against the Empress Dowager for what she committed back then, and the Emperor hints that he can avenge them, these people will naturally seek revenge.
In fact, many people knew back then that the death of their girl was probably related to the Queen Mother, because since the new emperor came to the throne, there have been such rumors in Beijing - otherwise Liu Shoufu would not have investigated at the time and found out that the Queen Mother had harmed the new emperor.
Naturally, many people in Beijing already knew about this matter. This is normal. After the Queen Mother lost power, her confidants left, and many people exposed what the Queen Mother did back then. So
Others will know, and it’s normal.
That is to say, due to various reasons, they were unable to defeat the Empress Dowager and Duke Cheng'en. In addition, they did not have much evidence at hand, so each family endured.
Now that there is evidence, the emperor is powerful again, Empress Dowager Yu is dead, and Duke Chengen has no backer, then they will naturally seek justice.
So while Duke Cheng'en was still congratulating himself for not spreading the news that the emperor had killed his mother, the people should have guessed it, and thus achieved their goal, they began to be unlucky.
After hearing that the family members of the concubines whom he had killed in the past, including the emperor's maternal wife, the Wu family, began to accuse the Cheng'en Palace of conspiring with the Queen Mother to poison many concubines and the emperor's heirs with poison, the people of the Cheng'en Palace began to
Only then did I realize that the matter was serious, and I couldn't help being frightened. No matter how stupid you are, you know that no one among the people will say that the emperor killed his mother, but that the empress dowager Yu killed the emperor's biological mother, as well as many other concubines and heirs.
It’s over.
Of course, it is not only a matter of public opinion, but also because they helped the Queen Mother bring so many poisons into the palace, killing so many people, and their family will also die. I am afraid they will have to kill everyone. After all, they killed so many people.
There are so many concubines, especially the emperor's heirs, and the emperor's biological mother. Even if one life is worth one life, it is estimated that more than a dozen people will die in the Cheng'en Palace. What's more, it is impossible to simply tell people's lives. The Cheng'en Palace has committed a crime.
