Chapter 548 The Empress Who Died in Depression (13)

"Lock her up, remember, don't let her die! Then call all the courtiers and announce the imperial edict."

When Shi Jiang glanced at Concubine Cui Gui, he gave Yun Jin instructions.

After finishing the order, Shi Jiang took Yang Ji to the dormitory.

Yang Ji looked at Yang Jiong who was lying on the ground and died, and burst into tears.

"Father...!"

When the courtiers arrived, Yang Jiong's body had already been packed.

Mr. Wu Ge took the edict from the queen, read it carefully from beginning to end, and nodded to the others, saying that the edict was okay.

However, I didn't expect the emperor to let the queen supervise the country.

Regarding this, the four veteran ministers all murmured in their hearts.

However, the queen has no relatives, and the uncle was beaten up a year ago, and now he is still hiding in the uncle's mansion, unwilling to come out.

I am deeply afraid that after meeting people, others will look at him strangely.

There are no such relatives.

So, in the final analysis, there is no one behind the empress to back her up. Even though it is written that she is in charge of the country, in the end it is these veteran ministers who rely on them!

Shi Jiang didn't care what these ministers thought.

General Yang Ji ascended the throne, and before Jiang was about to canonize Yun Jin as regent, there was a war at the border.

General Qi was supposed to return to Beijing, but was delayed because of this.

This time the enemy came fiercely, and the two sides saw each other for almost two months, and there was bad news.

General Qi was shot by a stray arrow and is now dying.

Without a commander in the army, it was a mess.

No matter how the enemy will scold outside the city, they can only stay behind closed doors.

But in this case, it can only be delayed for a while.

Therefore, when the eight hundred li urgently sent the military intelligence battle report to the capital.

When Jiang was in the court, he asked the courtiers who to send to the border.

Several old ministers looked at each other, they were civil servants after all, besides General Qi, the generals in the court now really couldn't think of a suitable candidate to replace General Qi.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I am willing to lead the army to resist foreign enemies."

Just as Shi Jiang frowned and looked at the group of people below who were helpless, Yun Jin came out and said with cupped fists.

Seeing this, Shi Jiang narrowed his eyes.

"allow."

She believed that Yun Jin would not be aimless, since no one went, let him go.

If he can make great achievements at the border, it will be much easier to designate him as regent after he returns.

Old Wu Ge and the others really wanted to object, but after the objection, the queen would definitely ask them to send someone to lead the army to fight at the border.

The battle at the border is so difficult now, even if there are people, who would take the risk and die?

Since Yun Jin wants to go, let him go.

Anyway, there are many people who don't like Jinyiwei.

There are even many people who are secretly happy, thinking that Yunjin is looking for death on her own.

After facing down, before Shi Jiang could sit still, the eunuch rushed in anxiously, and knelt down in front of her with a plop.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Cui... is gone!"

Shi Jiang didn't react for a while, blinked his eyes, and suddenly his face became serious.

"Didn't Aijia tell you to keep an eye on her and not let her die?"

The eunuch who came to report was lying on the ground, trembling all over.

They didn't think about it either. Who would have thought that Prime Minister Cui rebelled, and the empress did not execute Concubine Cui Guigui on the spot, but just locked her up.

Never thought that Concubine Cui Gui would actually hang herself behind their backs?
After Shi Jiang finished speaking, he pulled his face and walked towards the place where Concubine Cui Gui was locked up.

That place was in a palace in the Leng Palace, and Concubine Cui Gui had been released.

Shi Jiang didn't care about Yang Jian crying loudly for his concubine mother, but moved closer to Concubine Cui's body, carefully looking at her neck.

I saw a deep strangle mark on Concubine Cui Gui's neck.

However, when Jiang's eyes fell on the place behind Cui Guifei's ears, the strangle marks there became two.

Shi Jiang was startled, and immediately thought of what Yang Jiong said before.

If Concubine Cui had hanged herself, the strangle mark caused by the rope must be behind the ear, and it is absolutely impossible for there to be a strangle mark extending to the back.

There is only one possibility for this kind of strangulation marks that extend beyond the back, that is, someone unexpectedly strangled Concubine Cui Gui with a rope around her neck, strangled her alive, and then hung her on the beam, pretending that she hanged herself case of suicide.

But she couldn't think of anyone else who could do this without anyone noticing in the palace, except for Yang Jiong's hidden guards.

After all, except for her, the empress, no one seems to be willing to kill Concubine Cui Gui!
Thinking of this, Shi Jiang's face became very ugly.

For her, although Concubine Cui Gui had her own reasons for her own death.

But as far as Yuanshen was concerned, the only person who was sorry for her was Yang Jiong.

Shi Jiang originally planned a way to torture Yang Jiong.

Unexpectedly, Cui gave her such a big surprise, even so, she never thought about letting Concubine Cui die.

After all, it's easy to die, but it's hard to live with a heart.

Now that Concubine Cui Gui is dead, the whole court is bound to put the pot on her.

Thinking of Yang Jiong's death and causing trouble for her, Shi Jiang wished he could directly lift the lid of Yang Jiong's coffin.

He looked up at Yang Jian who was crying all the time, sure enough, Shi Jiang could see the hatred towards him from his eyes.

Heh, since Yang Jiong wanted to let Yang Jian go, then she will let him go.

"Come here, send the Cui family to be buried with the late emperor. As for the eldest prince, he will go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the spirit from now on, and he will not return without an edict."

With a stern face, after issuing this imperial edict, the maids and eunuchs quickly stepped forward, covered Yang Jian who was still crying, and covered up the words he was about to swear.

Then he quickly wrapped Concubine Cui Gui and carried her out, while Yang Jian was also dragged out at the same time.

"Empress, is the elder brother no longer coming back?"

Yang Ji watched the elder brother's red eyes, being dragged out by the court ladies and eunuchs like this, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable and looked up at Shi Jiang.

Shi Jiang looked sullenly and glanced at him.

"Your Majesty, now that you are the king of a country, if you are kind to those who should not be kind, you will suffer in the end."

Hearing this sentence, Yang Ji felt that his mother was thinking too much.

After all, he and Brother Dahuang are blood brothers, if he has goodwill towards Brother Dahuang, how could Brother Dahuang treat him badly?

When Shi Jiang saw Yang Ji's face, he knew that he didn't take his words to heart.

Forget it, what she said to persuade her before was just for the sake of raising Yang Ji for the past few years.

If he doesn't listen, then let him, resign to fate!
Shi Jiang stopped looking at Yang Ji, turned around and left.

Looking at the back of his mother, Yang Ji secretly made up his mind to wait until the day he came to power, he would enlarge the emperor's brother back.

Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits cut through gold, this is what the teacher said.
