Chapter 43 Dong Taijun

Han Chengjue was slapped twice, Longyan was furious, and decided to issue an edict to abolish the empress.

But he found that things didn't seem that simple. After calming down first, he felt that the husband and wife quarreled and even fought with a knife, but it was not to the point of abolishing the empress, and he was reluctant to abolish her just like that.Apart from the fact that she likes to beat her husband, Liang Guanjing really did nothing wrong. To be precise, Liang Guanjing made a lot of contributions when he was at the side of Wang Qingjun. In conscience, he also needs her help to get the throne. It was she who persuaded Empress Dowager Xu to go deep into the enemy camp so that she would not go to war.If the empress was abolished, so many full-fledged officials in the court would scold him to death, and said ten thousand steps back, as long as she did not commit the crime of treason, with her Liang family full of heroes, he would not be able to abolish the empress smoothly.She had retired before, gave up the power and was no longer called the second sage with herself. She completely retreated to the harem and won the prestige in the court. Since she did not interfere in politics, why would he abolish the empress?

It won't work after being abolished, and it can't just be left alone, otherwise Liang Guanjing will slap one arm today and slap him twice tomorrow, and he can't make it through this day?

The edict was changed back and forth, but in the end it didn't say clearly that the reason was that the empress had slapped the emperor twice. Han Chengjue was still sober, shame on himself.

The final charge was disobedience.Although there is only one word difference between disobedience and conspiracy, the connotations are quite different, because disobedience should make Liang Guanjing suffer a little bit, and it is difficult for the ruling and opposition parties to say their faults.As a husband, teach the disobedient wife a lesson, even if she is beaten twice, locked up for a few days, and starved for a few meals, it should be given.

After receiving the edict, Liang Guanjing was taken away from Yongxuan Palace by the Jinwu Guards and imprisoned in Ye Ting Shao Prison.

Ye Ting Shao Prison is a special place to imprison female prisoners. Usually, if there are concubines and maids in the palace who make mistakes, they will be punished in just one meal. There are very few people who are actually imprisoned here. It was only because of the Liao King’s rebellion last year that they were implicated by it. The family members of the Liao king and some party members are locked here, some of them have been disposed of, and the rest will be arranged at the end of autumn this year.Liang Guanjing was stronger than them, and was locked in the innermost cell alone, because Liu Guang personally sent her in, and before leaving, he kowtowed and apologized for his mistake. This made everyone in Shao Prison know that she was the current empress of Emperor Hongxi After being released from prison, the cells on both sides of the trail suddenly boiled.There are those who cry and beg Liang Guanjing to be rehabilitated, and there are those who gloat and laugh at your misfortune, and there are those who are today. The mother of the Liao King was imprisoned next door, and she once served the empress dowager.Grand Concubine Yu of the Zu Emperor, she slapped the cell door and laughed loudly, and called out to my son, just look, this Empress Liang, who abducted Emperor Huiwen and stabbed you into serious injuries with an arrow, is now in prison. Less than a year, less than a year!

Liang Guanjing just ignored it, and at night, Concubine Yu started to cough, choking until her lungs were about to come out, making Liang Guanjing unable to sleep.

"Concubine Yu, are you sixty this year?" Liang Guanjing asked through the wall.

Concubine Yu sneered, "Why do you ask these questions?"

"Empress Dowager Xu, the mother of Emperor Huiwen, is your niece and daughter-in-law. She is a junior. For the sake of the people at dawn and the stability of the country, she willingly risked herself to go deep into the enemy camp. If you refused, you jumped from a tall building and died for your country at the age of 36. Now the world is settled, instead of dissuading your son from rebelling and disregarding everything in the world, you urged him to fight again for the throne. Since ancient times, he has been king and defeated, and he lost It is the crime of punishing the nine clans. What is there to scream about? You come to speak rudely to me. It is ridiculous that you have lived to this age and have not understood this truth. I advise you to wake up as soon as possible. If you live another ten years 20 If you are young, don't let down the pity of the heavens."

Concubine Yu fell silent after her words.

After a while, Empress Dowager Yu said: "Why are you imprisoned again? The only one who can take you is Yan Wang Zhuzi."

"It's nothing. I'm the daughter of the general. I'm irritable. I fought with the emperor and his wife. I slapped him twice. He couldn't beat me, so he ordered me to be locked up and thrown here."

Concubine Yu was completely dumbfounded and said nothing.

The fact that Liang Guanjing was sent to Shao Prison was temporarily concealed by Lianxiang Xiyu, but only from Su Mingyue. Thinking that she was physically and mentally injured, she was afraid of becoming seriously ill, so she lied to her that the emperor was furious, and it coincided with a mutiny in a northwest pass. Master Bing was killed by his subordinates, and the emperor sent the queen to fight to quell the chaos.It can be regarded as a crime, if you win, you will be fine, if you lose, let the queen stay at the border for three to five years, so that she can be punished.

"A sword has no eyes, yet he has the heart to let his first wife go to war!" Su Mingyue was indignant, and wanted to press for details. Lianxiang was afraid that she would lose her words, so she coped with it if she couldn't explain it clearly.

It's easy to fool Su Mingyue's lingering sickness, even if she becomes suspicious, she can be dismissed as being suspicious due to illness, but the news of Liang Guanjing's arrival in Shao Prison will naturally spread to Liugong, such as Concubine Ning, Wei Xiangwan and others, it is natural Anxious like ants on a hot pot, trying to rescue her, but Su Jingxian, the noble concubine of Yongle Palace, hid in the bed and laughed.The day before, I heard that that little slut Su Mingyue was in bed, and was worried, but suddenly I heard that Li Concubine offended the emperor by serving in bed, and even the empress was involved in it, summoning Habayashi guards overnight to take her down.If Liang Guanjing was abolished, then it would be her turn to discuss seniority. The third prince Yun Lian under her knees would become a descendant. At the beginning, the emperor almost fell out of favor because he wanted to keep the child by his side. Clouds open to see the moon.

After Liang Hou was sent to Shao Prison, not only the harem was in an uproar, but even the news from the court was quite shocked. Gu Changfeng, the Xinwu General, was not afraid of gossip, and was the first to stand up to express grievances for Liang Hou. Disobedient?In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Han Chengjue couldn't help but say that it was because Liang Guanjing slapped him twice. He did this to vent his personal anger, and he only vaguely insisted on disobedience.

This is good, Gu Changfeng speaks eloquently about the past and the present, and brings up the sage queens of ancient times one by one to speak out. He insists that the queen is admonishing and admonishing and offending the emperor. If the emperor insists on doing his own thing, he will not listen to the good words of loyal ministers, so he immediately took off his hat He resigned and returned to the field.

Liang Guanjing's father, Liang Yuncheng, stood there with lowered eyebrows and drooping eyes, and another spokesman came forward and said that the Liang family was full of heroes, and Old General Liang was chilled.

At this time, someone came forward and said that the court recently persuaded the emperor to establish a heir, and now there are only the second prince and the third prince in the harem, but there is a dispute because of the seizure of the heir?The emperor favored the third prince and disliked the second prince, so he listened to the slander of Su Guifei, so spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife would be a catastrophe for the country.

When the emperor was about to die, Liang Yuncheng suddenly fainted. For a while, the hall yelled, this one wants to tell the imperial physician, and the other said let someone carry him out to catch his breath.

Han Chengjue hurriedly shouted to withdraw from the imperial court, and fled while taking advantage of Xuan's imperial physician's spare time.

Su Jingxian held her breath and did not go to the emperor, knowing that he was upset at the moment and could not touch this bad luck.But in Yongle Palace, she was so angry that she slapped the table and scolded people, "Yun Che has long been deposed by the emperor as a commoner, why don't they all speak up, no one speaks up? That idiot is also qualified to be the crown prince?"

The confidantes on the left and right came to persuade her to stay calm and not to be impatient, the most urgent thing is to take this opportunity to bring down the queen.

But it is said that Old General Liang was carried back to the Duke's Mansion, and his wife, Liang Guanjing's mother—Dong Taijun quit.She heard that the old general was carried back from court today, and when she heard that the heart of her middle-aged daughter who had finally given birth was imprisoned in Shao prison by the emperor, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood on the spot.

After taking a breath, she asked her wife, "Did you hear me clearly, is it rebellion or conspiracy?"

Liang Yuncheng nodded feebly.

Taijun Dong patted the table and ordered his servants to bring the dragon-headed stick bestowed by the emperor Tai and Zu. She wanted to go to the palace to meet the emperor and ask for clarification in person.

Dong Taijun thought it was slow to sit in a sedan chair, so he asked his servants to drive the carriage and take her to the palace.Han Chengjue had just persuaded the cabinet to quit, and now he didn't care about drinking tea, when he saw his mother-in-law Dong Taijun rushing into the imperial study with a dragon-headed staff.

Dong Taijun first knelt down to salute, and Han Chengjue quickly helped her up.

After finishing the ceremony, Dong Taijun sat down on the opposite side of the dragon chair, staring at Han Chengjue with fiery eyes: "Your Majesty, in terms of dignity, you are the emperor and I am a girl, and in terms of age, you are the son-in-law and I am the mother-in-law. I am here today. I want to ask a few words clearly, I want to make a few words clear, I wonder if the emperor would take the time to reason with me, an old woman."

"Mother-in-law is here, son-in-law is all ears." Han Chengjue made a gesture to send everyone away.The maids and eunuchs in the imperial study went down, but the middle-aged woman who supported Dong Taijun had no intention of leaving at all.

"You say my son is rebellious. I had this child when I was 40 years old. The couple in front of me were all sons. The husband and wife were facing this little daughter. They held it in their mouths for fear of melting, and held it in their hands for fear of falling. , it is also possible to be spoiled and spoiled. Because of this, she will go to the army with her father in her early tenth year, and I will let her make trouble. Anyway, there are brothers protecting her, so there will be no mistakes. With conscience Said, Ah Yuan has grown up to this day, and has never disobeyed the elder brothers in the family. She obeys my heart in everything. I often think that this must be a good child given to me by Goddess Guanyin. She has never been seen before or since. Because of this, I kept her in my boudoir until I was 20 years old and I was still reluctant to marry her, and now I regret it... If she had married into the Gu family early, what would you do?" Dong Taijun almost beat his chest when he said this .

"She later became a queen. Human nature is that she has the appearance of great wealth. If you want me to say that she was made from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, she deserves it!"

Han Chengjue even claimed it was.

Dong Taijun gave him a sideways look, "Let me ask, what disobedient words and deeds did she say?"

Han Chengjue put on a bitter face, and came to show his pity, "Our husband and wife quarreled, and she took off one of my arms last year, and this time she slapped me again. I am the emperor, how can I save face?"

Dong Taijun said calmly, "She is the daughter of a general, and she grew up in the army. It's not like you don't know that when you robbed the bride and caused a lot of trouble in the city, didn't you think about today?"

Han Chengjue choked when asked.

Dong Taijun said again: "Why did she slap you twice?"

Now Han Chengjue was even more difficult to say.

"Let me tell you, my old lady is not unreasonable. I went to Yongxuan Palace to find out about Ah Yuan's two personal maids. I thought you were arguing with her because of a favorite concubine. Yuan is not a jealous master, she takes pity on all the concubines in the harem who are delicate and fleshy, and never makes things difficult. Sure enough, it was the beautiful and beautiful concubine Li who didn't like you, and you forced her to become a concubine, and she was promoted day by day. The seventh level alarmed the entire harem, and then lost patience when she couldn't do both soft and hard, forced her, and humiliated her in every possible way. This poor girl is only 17 years old, she is like a flower, just let you spoil her like this, and she is still lying in bed She couldn't get up on the bed, and the palace didn't dare to tell her that because of her, the queen was implicated and the emperor was imprisoned. If you want me to say, these two slaps deserve it! Even if you are willing to cut yourself to pieces, you deserve more Give you a few slaps! My son has done a good job! She acts chivalrously, sees injustice, confronts the emperor for a concubine, this is the good daughter I have taught!" Dong Taijun looked stern, pointing at Han Chengjue and yelling.

"If you are a husband and wife, and Nian is full of loyalty in my Liang family, and Nian is dying at the knees of my husband and wife, you will release her. After you leave, I will take her back to her natal family. From now on, our Liang family will be with you The Han family, love and righteousness will be cut off, old age and death will not communicate with each other!"
