【332】A good hand
Because of his lack of "common sense", he determined that he would try every means to save her. Therefore, there was no need to worry about her exposing him in a short period of time. However, this time would not be too long, so you must hurry up.
That's it.
Some of Kou's ideas are indeed correct, that is, she is very important to him, very important. Missing her may be equivalent to missing an arm. However, Kou is actually not that important. After all, many
She is just the general leader, and the people below have already learned what they need to learn. Without her, the shelves that have been built would not be able to be crossed. At most, they would not be able to build more other shelves.
Without Mrs. Kou, he will feel a lot of pain, very painful, but it is just a pain in the body. It will get better slowly. She needs to cut off her tail to survive. Otherwise, when he escapes this disaster, he will remember her sacrifices.
.
Concubine Kou might not have thought that when she proposed to intercept Xiaocao, when King Heng ordered "kill without mercy when necessary," she would have become the scapegoat in King Heng's plan. She worked hard to get that Heng.
The king serves as a springboard and becomes the most noble woman in the world. Unfortunately, even if she was successful in the workplace, this center of power is still another matter. She can't handle it. There are some things that she has to do from the beginning.
You shouldn't have intervened.
Fan Wuguo has never been a sympathetic person, so after taking the person back, he interrogated him directly.
In fact, Concubine Kou doesn't know about some things at all. Of course, she is even more aware that she can't say anything now. Even if she just reveals a little bit of things, the consequences may be unimaginable. Therefore, she was originally pampered.
I endured the interrogation abruptly, and only three words came out over and over again: I don’t know.
Don’t know? It’s okay if you don’t know, I’ll let her know.
Over there, King Heng had already gone to apologize to Emperor Xuanren as soon as possible. This so-called apology was certainly not an admission of his crime. He even revealed from the beginning that he didn't know what happened and that he didn't know what was going on.
She even asked Kai Pingwei to be dispatched, but no matter what she did, it was still because he was lax in running the family and incapable of discipline.
Emperor Xuanren looked calm, even though King Heng burst into tears, he did what he had to do without being affected at all.
Emperor Xuanren was indifferent, but King Heng was not so calm, and there was a faint sweat on his back.
Compared to Emperor Xuanren, King Heng is still a bit immature. Of course, it is not just a matter of character, but also because Emperor Xuanren can easily control his honor, disgrace, life and death.
King Heng said everything he needed to say, but Emperor Xuanren didn't speak, and he didn't dare to continue speaking. He just knelt down quietly. After a long time, his knees began to be unable to bear it, but he had to straighten his waist and even slightly slow down.
Not even a moment's delay.
Even if he had made a plan to make Concubine Kou a scapegoat, whether it could succeed or not still depended on Emperor Xuanren.
Fan Wuguo acted openly and above all regarding the capture of Kou's concubine. Therefore, in the shortest possible time, everything that should be known and should not be known was known. And one can probably imagine why he was captured. After all, Cong Fan
After Wu Guo took over Kai Pingwei, he only had one thing in hand. However, many people also thought that it was impossible, right? Kou Concubine was just a prostitute after all, and if it was really related to her, what was behind this
It is also King Heng who is right.
Because of this knowledge, some people are excited, and there are also many people who are anxious.
Those who are excited are obviously the enemies of King Heng. King Heng has gone down. For them, there are naturally only advantages and no disadvantages. He already has a considerable amount of power and wealth in his hands. If they divide it up...
Needless to say, those who are anxious naturally tend to be on the side of King Heng. All of them can be said to be anxious, especially Mr. Ming, the Minister of War, who is anxious and angry. He asked King Heng at the beginning, but King Heng completely denied it.
, it seems that he doesn’t trust him at all. If he could have known it earlier, he could have helped him clean up the trouble, but now... At this time, he can’t do anything. Whatever he does may be wrong, and it may become a handle.
The other one who is most anxious is the Concubine Xian. As the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, although she does not have absolute power in the harem, the other concubines are indeed incomparable to her. With such a status, she can naturally
She was always allowed to be calm and calm, but now she couldn't. She kept pacing back and forth. Several times she wanted to go directly to Emperor Xuanren to plead for mercy, but then she went back. After all, she was also married to Emperor Xuanren for twenty or thirty years. Naturally
I also know how much Emperor Xuan Ren did. If he rashly got involved when the situation was unclear, it might be self-defeating, and all the things that should not have been involved were involved.
There is no other way but to make people pay attention to the situation on Emperor Xuanren's side. Of course, they also dare not send people to get closer to inquire. They can only stay far away. At most, they can see if King Heng has left, that's all.
Concubine Xian was naturally not the only one paying attention to the situation here, but the mood of the others was completely different.
King Heng had been kneeling in front of Emperor Xuanren for two hours before Emperor Xuanren asked him to leave. Even so, he still didn't say anything. King Heng had no choice but to leave first, limping with dark eyes.
Not knowing and getting no results is like having a knife hanging above your head. You don’t know when the knife will fall, let alone how lethal it will be.
King Heng left the palace and returned to Prince Heng's Mansion. Not long after, the Minister of War came to the door. He shouldn't have come at this time, but he couldn't just sit down if he wanted to.
However, even so, King Heng still denied that he had anything to do with the interception and killing of Princess Anguo. He said that he did not know what Kou did to attract Kaipingwei. At least he seemed very sure of it.
The Secretary of the Ministry of War also knew his intention, and looked at King Heng for a moment, "It will be done if the prince has an idea. The old minister will leave first." He really hoped that his grandson would know what he was doing. After all, as King Heng's
Maternal family, if King Heng falls, it basically means that they will also fall. If the next emperor is not as broad-minded as Emperor Xuanren, then the Ming family will not be able to get up for at least a few decades, and within a few decades
After that, who knows what the situation of the Ming family will be, and whether there is anyone who can bring the Ming family back to glory.
The Minister of War was so gloomy that after returning to the Ming family, even though many people were concerned about what was going on, they did not dare to ask.
Of course, the ones who feel the most fear are Kou's concubine's natal family. They don't know what kind of heinous disaster the Kou family has committed, and whether they can get out in the end or not, they will inevitably be implicated. While they are afraid, they also deeply hate them.
.
For the next two consecutive days, there was no movement. Emperor Xuanren said nothing. Naturally, the people below could only do what they should do. However, this was only a superficial phenomenon, and everyone's heartstrings were actually tense.
You know, this kind of atmosphere is the most difficult to bear. King Heng is also waiting for the news of Kou's death. The longer the time goes by, the deeper the fear in his heart becomes. His nerves are tighter than anyone else. The slightest movement may cause It aroused his sensitive nerves, so he was naturally extremely angry. He had already dealt with more than one group of people, and the entire Prince's Palace was cautious.
Knowing his current state, Wei Tingyu just smiled.
Concubine Kou was actually dead. Speaking of the cause of death, it was actually a bit dramatic. Of course, it made Fan Wuguo a little irritable.
Before Concubine Kou gave birth, she had too many thoughts and did not take good care of herself. Her premature birth also seriously damaged her body. Even so, she still did not take good care of her. She worried about all kinds of things, and her plans were completely disrupted. She was depressed and irritable all day long. Thinking of killing Xiaocao who was pregnant with her plan, she made matters worse and still suffers from lochia. She was dragged to prison and tortured. Her condition suddenly worsened because Fan Wuguo didn't take it seriously. Time went by. , people died like this.
It saves the people arranged by King Heng to be exposed again and seek death.
Before he died, he cursed all kinds of things and said some words that were incomprehensible. But there were two points that Fan Wuguo could understand clearly. Why didn't Emperor Xuanren die on a certain day? Why was there still a Wenren Xuanhuai? Her good deed, because of these two points, Fan Wuguo almost whipped his body!
It was really easy for her to die like this. However, there was nothing she could do about it. Fan Wuguo did not go to the palace immediately. Instead, he sent someone to find Wei Tingyu and talk to him about the matter. After explaining, Wei Tingyu understood what Fan Wuguo didn't understand. This Kou family came from a later generation. The emperor was originally supposed to die, but was rescued by Xuan'er. Therefore, Xuan'er really changed history.
Wei Tingyu asked Fan Wuguo to stand still, and he went into the palace. However, before her death, Concubine Kou did talk to King Heng, but she did not say anything substantial. After all, she had nothing to do with King Heng's arrangements. She didn't know anything about her, but King Heng knew everything about her. Therefore, if King Heng wanted to put the blame on her, it would be a sure thing.
However, even if no conclusive evidence of King Heng was obtained, those who should be aware of it knew it, including Emperor Xuanren.
How does it feel to have a son who wants to die for the sake of the throne? Only Emperor Xuanren knew it in his heart, but he still didn't show it on his face. In this matter, he really didn't express his joy and anger.
"Throughout the Ming family, I want evidence of the Ming family's crimes." This was the order directly given by Emperor Xuan Ren to Wei Tingyu.
With just these words, Wei Tingyu understood that Emperor Xuanren was temporarily not moving against King Heng, but he was actually trying to weaken his power. Therefore, after losing his concubine to give him money, Emperor Xuanren wanted to cut him off again. The greatest reliance.
On the other hand, King Heng has no chance of being crowned king at all. He wants Xiaocao's life, so Wei Tingyu naturally wants to kill him, but he is not in a hurry. There is no need to rush for revenge.
Regarding the death of Kou's concubine, it was temporarily suppressed in order to create greater psychological pressure on King Heng. From this point of view, Emperor Xuanren was also ruthless.
While King Heng was waiting tremblingly, he was already on the verge of collapse. The results finally came out, and the evidence about Kou's concubine was made public. However, what people never expected was that the Ming family actually "
participate.
The whole Ming family was like a thunderbolt, and the Minister of War was shocked to the point of turning pale. Before, perhaps he never thought that this matter would fall on the Ming family, and he shouted that he was wronged!
However, "the evidence is conclusive" and calling for injustice is useless. Especially at this time, King Heng stood up and accused his maternal family in tears. How could he be so crazy and then plead guilty to Emperor Xuanren? It was his negligence that allowed the Ming family to do this.
If you do something treasonous and unethical, please be punished.
The Minister of the Ministry of War looked at his grandson, speechless, and then his whole body seemed to have been drained of energy, and he suddenly fell down. The person who tried his best to help, at this time, stabbed him back so hard that he even caught up with him.
The entire Ming family is more than just a white-eyed wolf...
In fact, the Minister of War did not know anything about the matter, but in the end the blame fell on the famous master. It is not difficult to guess that this is probably the emperor's intention. He would not touch his son, but he would just put it down so gently.
There is a price to pay.
The Minister of War was taken into custody, two important officials of the Ming family were dismissed, and the Ming family was raided. For the sake of King Heng's maternal family, no one died, and the Minister of War was only exiled.
Come on, in this way, everyone can see that this Ming family is taking the blame for King Heng, otherwise, everyone in the family may be executed.
At the same time, Concubine Xian was also demoted and was about to become a concubine. Everything Kou Concubine had run before was confiscated and transferred to the treasury. King Heng's salary was also cut in half, leaving only five thousand shi, and the county
Wang Qiping.
The losses were so heavy that they suddenly seemed worse than those in King Dun's capital.
King Heng didn't care how much hatred and pain he felt, he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
