​‍‌​‍‌☆、Emperor Strategy 23

When Yao Ji opened her eyes, the sky was bright.

Linxia stayed outside for several days and nights without ever closing her eyes. When she heard rustling sounds coming from inside, she quickly stood up from the fumigation cage, walked quickly and rushed in: “Sage?”

Yao Ji raised her head and was about to speak, but she felt her throat was extremely dry.Linxia hurriedly ordered the palace maid to bring warm dew to her, and fed her spoonful by spoonful. Seeing that the little emperor’s face had improved a little, he hurriedly asked: “What do you think of the saint? Do you want to be declared an imperial physician?”

“No need,” Yao Ji waved her hand, “Help me get off the ground.”

Although the wound was healing, her body was still dangling due to excessive blood loss. She walked a few steps with Linxia’s support and felt that she had gradually regained some strength. Then she said, “What’s the situation in Beijing now?”

Duan Hongyuan is waiting on the other side, listening to herWhen he asked this question, he knew that he was asking about how the incident was being handled, so he said respectfully: “Everything is fine in the capital, and the culprits have been killed. Several rebels involved have been ordered by the regent to circle up and wait for the saint to deal with them. With the wife in the harem, everything is fine. The King of Zhou is in her mother’s womb, and there is no serious problem with the Queen Mother. As for the court, the slaves dare not inquire at will. They only know that King Jin and Prime Minister Zhang are in charge of the government now, and I have not heard of any major events.”

When he mentioned the King of Zhou and the Queen Mother, although he said it euphemistically, Yao Ji also understood that the Queen Mother must have been involved in this incident, but the court… “How could it be the fourth uncle and Zhang Jingan who are in charge of politics?” Zhang Jingan didn’t care. The King of Jin always doesn’t care. “Where is the seventh uncle?”

“The Regent…” Duan Hongyuan glanced at Yao Ji cautiously, “After the situation in Beijing stabilized, the Regent stayed behind closed doors for five days.”

At this time, Yuan Sanniang, who had received the news, had already rushed over with her people. Yaoji had no time to think about what Xiao Yu meant by this move. After hearing Yuan Sanniang talk about the situation in the harem on the day of the accident, she paused: “Go to the Double Shadow Palace.”

In the Double Shadow Palace, there was a gloomy mist.

On the day of the incident, after the King of Zhou was forcibly taken away by the Queen, the entire palace was surrounded. Although Yiying’s food and clothing were as usual, everyone in the palace knew that the Queen Mother might completely lose her power.Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother behaved very calmly. When Yuan Sanniang wanted to take Xiao Shen away, she showed reluctance but did not resist.After the queen and her entourage left, she locked herself in a small Buddhist hall and chanted the Buddha’s name every day. Later, news came from outside that the emperor was seriously injured and she did not know whether he was alive or dead. She sat in the Buddhist hall in a daze for a day, and then did not go out.

When Yao Ji arrived at Chongying Palace, the Queen Mother was still in the Buddhist hall.She went straight to the Buddhist temple without anyone informing her.The Buddhist hall is just a renovated small room in the west wing of Chongying Palace. The place is not big. The Queen Mother does not believe in these gods and Buddhas on weekdays, so she does not visit many times.There was only a statue of Bodhisattva on the Buddhist niche, with no floral decorations or tributes. The Queen Mother was kneeling on the futon, wearing green clothes and plain shoes. Overnight, Yao Ji discovered that she seemed to have completely aged.

The vicious and bright beautiful woman in her memory was haggard. Hearing her footsteps, she paused slightly with her hand knocking on the wooden fish, but did not look back.

In fact, she didn’t expect that the Queen Mother would also conspire with Jiang Yong.This was not because she thought the Queen Mother would not do such a thing, but since the Queen Mother had the intention of rebellion, why didn’t she tell Jiang Yong her biggest secret?You must know that if this matter is revealed, the aristocratic family will not have to go to all the trouble to assassinate her, and they can directly drive her from the throne.

This doubt has always existed in Yao Ji’s mind. When she came to see the Queen Mother, she didn’t resent or scold her, she just wanted to know the answer.

The Queen Mother did not answer. The knocking sound of the wooden fish was gentle and endless. Yao Ji almost thought that she would keep knocking like this forever. She suddenly stopped: “Erlang…will you treat him well?”

Yao Ji did not hesitate: “I will, as if he is my father’s child.”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother showed a bitter smile: “Sure enough, you already knew.”

“The birthmark on Erlang’s arm, I also saw it on Deng Kuan’s arm.”

“Deng Kuan…yes, Deng Kuan…” This sigh, whether regretful or emotional, floated like the wind in those nights in distant memory.

Deng Kuan was the former chief internal supervisor of the Queen Mother. He served the Queen Mother from the time she first entered the palace until she became the master of the harem.No one knows that he is an eunuch who has not yet been castrated.During those long years in the harem, whether it was loneliness or dependence, feelings developed between the Queen Mother and this “half man”, and they were together.

Yao Ji didn’t know how to judge this bad fate. The system of locking many women in the forbidden palace was undoubtedly inhumane, but Ning Zong was an innocent victim from beginning to end.

Paper cannot cover the fire. Ning Zong died, but the Queen Mother found out that she was pregnant at his funeral.She knew that the child was not Ning Zong’s. Before Ning Zong’s death, although they had sex, they had never done anything like that.So she found an excuse to put Deng Kuan to death – in front of the children who were connected by blood, the once gentle and affectionate “man” didn’t matter anymore.

Xiao Shen was born as the posthumous son of Ning Zong. Because of his noble status, he was named King of Zhou when he was born.Because of the canonization, the Queen Mother felt more and more that this matter was perfect and no one would know about it, but she didn’t know at all that Ning Zong was no longer able to have children.

Just imagine that if this child was not found out after Ning Zong’s death, he would definitely not be able to survive. It was probably God’s will. Yao Ji couldn’t kill a baby, so she acquiesced in the child, but she would never let this child sit on the throne.

It’s not that she doesn’t hate her, she hates that the woman in front of her is despicable and heartless, but Xiao Shen is innocent, and a child shouldn’t be responsible for everything.

“Don’t worry,” she finally said before leaving, “no third person will ever know about this matter.”

“Okay, okay…” The Queen Mother laughed silently, and just when Yao Ji turned around and crossed the threshold, she turned her head.The girl’s back was slim and slender, and she suddenly remembered that many years ago, the little baby was lying in her arms, with clear eyes and gentleness.She once thought about telling the child’s biggest secret to Jiang Yong, but in the end she did not do so. She had hated her for so many years, and even she did not expect that she still retained this little motherly heart.

“I’m sorry, Ayao.”

This is the last thing she said to Yao Ji in this life.That night, the Queen Mother hanged herself in Chongying Palace.

After hearing that the emperor had regained consciousness, the slightly flustered people in the capital quickly stabilized. Even Zhang Jingan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. The family had suffered heavy losses in this incident. If the emperor had any more troubles, it would really be over.He quickly ordered people to report the results of the meeting of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai to see how the emperor would deal with the rebellious party.

The matter involved rebellion, so naturally it should not be ignored. The chief culprits, King Zhao, Princess Rongshou and the consort, seized the title, reduced their clan status, deposed them as common people, and sentenced them to death. Since the two of them had already been executed, they only had to give death to the consort. He also sentenced all the sons of King Zhao to death regardless of their age. Princess Zhao was returned to her mother’s family, and the daughters of King Zhao also reduced their clan status and were deposed as common people.

All the men over the age of 16 in the direct line of the Jiang family were killed, and the parents, wives, and three families were all in the same clan. The men under the age of 16 and the women in the family were not enslaved, and their family property was confiscated.Since then, the illustrious Nanwangjiang clan has been completely defeated.

Since the Cui and Wang families were slightly less evil than the Jiang family, they did not sit together, but only killed the one involved.Among them, Cui Jun was implicated innocently and was removed from the men who were beheaded. As for his future fate, it was left to the emperor’s disposal.

The simple lines on the memorial represent the cruel and cold blood that flowed into the river later. Yao Ji did not hesitate and marked the bright red word “accurate” on the memorial.When necessary, if there is no severe punishment, it will not be enough to calm the people’s hearts.

She thought she had finally learned how to be an emperor.

The day after the decree was issued, Zhang Jingan came to find her with a troubled face: “Jiang Yong hopes to see the saint before he dies.”

Yao Ji hesitated for a moment. Zhang Jingan thought she was going to refuse. After all, this request was too ridiculous. Unexpectedly, she nodded slightly: “Yes.”

When I saw Jiang Yong again, the hair of the former prime minister with outstanding grace was already speckled with white frost. Jiang Yong was in good spirits. After finishing his dance, Fang said, “Thank you, saint, for your success.”

“If you have anything to say, just say it.”

“Then the guilty minister will tell you directly.”

Yao Ji expected what Jiang Yong was going to say, but unexpectedly she said: “Does a saint know about the ‘Gengchen Incident’?”

Yao Ji was stunned: “The Gengchen Change?” She is familiar with classics and history, but she has never heard of it.

“It’s common sense that the saint doesn’t know, because this matter was artificially erased from the writing, and the person who served as the official at that time was my Jiang family.” Before Yao Ji could ask, Jiang Yong added, “Prince Yin, I believe the saint has heard of it.”

This Yao Ji did know that Prince Yin was the eldest son of Yao Ji’s great-grandfather Xiaozong and the same mother-brother of Guangzong. According to historical records, he died of illness when he was thirty-five years old. Just a few days later, Xiaozong died in grief and was succeeded by the third son, Guangzong.

Hearing Jiang Yong mention this person, Yao Ji suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart. She didn’t want things to be as she imagined, but it happened to be like this – Prince Yin was Xiao Yu’s father.

And Prince Yin did not die of illness. He died of a palace coup, which was the Gengchen Revolution.In the coup, Prince Yin died, and everyone in the East Palace was executed, including the crown prince and Prince Yin’s six daughters.In that cruel accident, only five-year-old Xiao Yu survived.

He was deprived of his first name and changed his name to Xiao Yu. Even his parents’ ancestral status on the jade plate was changed. He was changed from the seventh son of Prince Yin to the son of a half-brother of Guangzong who died young.The traces about Prince Yin were completely erased, leaving only a few false records.

“Of course these things cannot be accomplished by Emperor Guangzong alone,” Jiang Yong said in a calm voice, “The one who led the troops into the East Palace at that time was Dou Qing.”

Xiao Yu has hated Dou Qingxian for more than ten years, but he has never shown it.It wasn’t until Ning Zong died and Xiao Yu assisted the government, and he gradually took control of the government, that he began to retaliate against Dou Qing, and finally completely defeated the Dou family. I’m afraid Dou Qing never closed his eyes until his death.

“The Prince Regent is a man of deep scheming and terrifying forbearance.”

A person can ruin his reputation for fourteen years and spend even longer time planning a revenge plan. This is evident from the depth of his city and the ruthlessness of his methods.Except for Jiang Yong, no one else saw that the decline of the Dou family was Xiao Yu’s revenge, and they all thought that he was just using the Dou family to suppress the family – even Zhang Jingan, who knew about the Gengchen incident, was not aware of it.

And the Jiang family is the second Dou family.

“We, the Jiang family, were responsible for clearing all records that were not conducive to him for Emperor Guangzong. It can be said that the biggest reason why Emperor Guangzong’s coup was successful was because of the support of the Jiang family.”

The reason why Jiang did this was because Prince Yin was a hardliner against the aristocratic family. He was established as the crown prince very early and had always been placed high hopes by Xiaozong, so he also had a high status among the courtiers.Jiang Yong foresaw that once Prince Yin succeeded to the throne, the first person to be operated on would probably be the Nanwang Jiang family, the largest family in the world at that time. In addition, he saw the ambition of Emperor Guangzong, so the two hit it off.Moreover, Emperor Guangzong had such a big handle in his hands that he did not dare to take action against the aristocratic family after he succeeded to the throne.

But Jiang Yong didn’t expect that Guangzong died suddenly after only staying on the throne for half a year, but his son Ningzong was a hardliner just like Prince Yin.Maybe there is reincarnation in the dark. The Jiang family has been struggling to this day. For this reason, they did not hesitate to instigate the imperial brothers to fight against the enemy, slandered the prime minister of the dynasty as treason, and finally showed their claws in rebellion, but they were still defeated, completely defeated.

“Sage, even when a person is about to die, his words are good. I am not saying this to drive a wedge between the saint and the regent, but I hope the saint understands that the regent’s ambitions are by no means limited to this.”

“No, it’s not so much ambition as it is his revenge. He was deprived of everything by Emperor Guangzong, and he can’t even recognize his biological parents. Is he holding back so far just to survive? He wants revenge, first of all the families who participated in the Gengchen Incident, and then… the descendants of Emperor Guangzong.”

“Nowadays, most of the forces in the DPRK are controlled by him. Although the aristocratic family is closely related to him,There is a gap, but due to the previous incident, most of them have been destroyed.Two of the three armies, Dingguo, Shenwu, and Jingyuan, are in his hands. Yu Lin, Hu Ben, and Jin Wu.Although Yu Lin is loyal to the saint, it is only a drop in the bucket.The only chance he has is to summon him into the palace before the regent can force him to do so, and kill him in one fell swoop.” At the end, Jiang Yong spoke sincerely and knelt on the ground, “Every word of the guilty minister comes from his heart, and there is no false word!”

Yao Ji knew that what he said was true, and because of these words, she wanted to understand a lot of things, why Ning Zong asked her to make such a vow before his death, and why Xiao Yu only promised her to give her a child, but refused to leave with her.

For a long time, for a long time, she didn’t say anything.Jiang Yong raised his head, thinking that the emperor was going to remain silent like this forever. She raised her eyes slightly, with a smile on her lips: “I believe him.”
