Great Lawyer

Chapter 604 Backstage Concubine ([-])

Zhao Yu's chill was greater than his anger.

King Anshan and King Huai!
Who else?Which other brother, when he was determined to create a prosperous world, held him back?
He thought of many years ago, when the first emperor was still there, the details of how their brothers got along with each other.There has never been an open and secret battle between the royal family as rumored, and everyone kept their duties. Although not everyone was in harmony, they could still be regarded as brothers.

"Xue Jian," Zhao Yu was very tired, leaning on the chair and closing his eyes, and said wearily, "Tell me, King Huai, why did he become like this?"

"I remember, his daughter is also seven or eight years old?"

"How can he do it, how can he be so devoid of conscience!"

Xue pressed Zhao Yu's temples lightly, and said in a low voice, "Didn't Lord Gui say that he started taking Wushi powder because of the pain in his arm, and he became addicted after eating it!"

"I know that kind of drug slave. If you eat too much, you will become irritable, depressed, stupid and cruel."

"At this point, people are no longer the original people."

Zhao Yu opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "I'm so disappointed."

"Spray out when you are angry, don't hold it in your heart." Xue Yin said in a low voice: "If you hurt the dragon's body, it's a serious matter!"

Zhao Yu said: "King Gui said to send the remaining girls to Xinhua. Jiuyan has a Yanshan Mine over there, and those children can be placed there." Zhao Yu said: "I think it's good, so I will do as she wants."

"Each person allocates 20 taels of silver a year, and this matter will be handed over to the county magistrate of Xinhua for implementation."

After settling these children well, he could feel a little relieved in his heart.

"Your Majesty is kind, they will be happy if you arrange it this way," Xue Pressed.

Zhao Yu nodded, "Let me tell you, you write and reply to them quickly."

"After the matter is over, escort a group of people to the capital." Zhao Yu said.

Xue Yinying was grinding ink, laying out paper, and was about to write a pen when a young father-in-law came in from outside the door and replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Mr. Shi from the Ministry of War is asking to see you."

Shi Qian is the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Xuan!"

Shi Qian came in a hurry and took two memorials in his hand. He presented them and said in a hurry: "My lord, after the people in Ji'an rioted a few days ago, the people in Tingzhou, Guangping and Kaifeng also rioted."

"Three county magistrates and magistrates wrote memorandums, please ask the Holy Majesty to decide how to deal with it."

Zhao Yu glanced at him, "What's the reason?" As he spoke, he opened the memorabilia and looked at it at a glance.

"Because of Ji'an's abduction and trafficking of young girls, he asked the Holy One to kill King Huai and all the people involved in the case." Shi Qian said.

Zhao Yu closed the memorandum and said in a deep voice: "Pass down the order not to use force everywhere, and tell them that once King Huai and other people involved in the case are escorted to Beijing, I will definitely punish them severely, and will never let anyone escape the sanctions, nor will they be lightly punished." Spare no one."

Shi Qian said: "I have already said this, but the people's grievances cannot be appeased." Shi Qian said: "I think that the most urgent thing is to behead Huai Wang in place. In this way, the anger of the people can be quickly quelled."

Zhao Yu frowned, and said: "The matter is still being investigated, and the cause of the riot has not been found out yet. If I follow them and immediately kill people on the spot, in the future, won't they riot whenever something happens, to use this Blackmail me?"

Shi Qian was right when he thought about it, how could the people back down on major court affairs after being threatened.

Even if they are right, they can't develop such a habit.What's more, it is not clear whether there are other reasons for the riots in these three places, or whether they are behind the scenes.

"Then what should we do now?" Shi Qian asked.

Zhao Yu said: "Try to calm down first. I will order King Gui and Du Jiuyan to bring people back to Beijing quickly."

"Try this case clearly and make it known to the world. Whether it is beheading or something else, we will act according to the law."

That's the only way to go, Shi Qian should have retreated.

Zhao Yu was very upset, so he asked Xue Yin to draft a letter, and quickly sent it to the courier shop.

He set off to Kunning Palace.

The rare Wang Taifei was sitting in the Kunning Palace. Seeing him coming in, Zhao Yu stood up and saluted. Zhao Yu nodded slightly and sat drinking tea.

"I've also heard about Huaiyu." Wang Taifei looked at Zhao Yu and said, "If it was really him who did it, then kill him if you have to."

"As a prince, he not only failed to manage the fief well, but also took the lead in creating chaos and adding chaos to you, my sage. He deserves to be killed for his evil behavior!" Wang Taifei sighed. It's all doomed. He deserves to be like this, and no one deserves to feel sorry for him."

Zhao Yu's impression of Princess Wang has always been better than that of Princess Zhou.He also sighed, and said: "If the matter is true, I really can't keep him anymore."

"Fang Cai, the three places sent Ji Zou. Because of his incident, there have been demonstrations and riots among the people. If it is not handled well, the result will be difficult to control." Zhao Yu said: "If you don't kill him, it will be difficult for the people to be angry."

Concubine Wang was also startled, and said guiltily, "This evil obstacle has caused His Majesty to worry."

"Don't say that either," the Queen Mother and Wang Doufei said, "We'll talk about it after he comes and ask him clearly."

"He was also watched by the Ai family. Why did his temperament suddenly change? Is there any other reason behind this? We have to find out." The queen mother said: "Even if death is inevitable, as relatives, we must Just trust him first."

Concubine Wang stood up and saluted the queen mother, "You are more considerate to him than my own mother, and this concubine is on behalf of this evil son, thank you queen mother."

"Stop talking," said the queen mother, "let's talk about it when he arrives."

As he spoke, he rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Wang Taifei was helped out by her mother, but she did not return to her own Chunhua Palace, but to Yikun Palace.

Concubine Zhou's Yikun Palace only left four palace servants to take care of her. Because she was crazy, the palace servants were not as dedicated as before, and would sneak out to play cards and eat wine when they had the opportunity.

There was no one at the door, Concubine Zhou was sitting alone on a chair in the courtyard, and there was a bird in front of her. This bird was sent back by King Anshan the year before last. He said he caught it himself, and he didn't know what species it was, but he cried out, The sound is particularly crisp and pleasant.

Concubine Zhou was full of hair, staring at the bird dully, listening to the bird jumping and chirping in the cage, but she didn't make a sound at all.

"Sister Zhou," Dowager Wang sat down on the left hand side of Dowager Zhou, and said in a low voice, "King Huai has an accident."

She told Ji'an's story without any haste, using a thin stick on the stool to scatter bird food, her voice was soft, "...but I will be escorted back in a few days, this time there is only a dead end."

"I understand how you felt when you were kneeling outside the gate of Kunning Palace." Princess Wang smiled lightly, "I didn't expect that we have been well-behaved all our lives, and we can't start well and end well if we don't fight or grab peace and order."

Concubine Zhou remained unmoved, and kept staring at the birdcage without taking her eyes off it.

"That day... where did you go, who did you meet?" Wang Taifei looked at Zhou Taifei, "What did you know that made you grow old all night?"

Concubine Zhou naturally did not answer.

Princess Wang sighed, "Forget it, why should I ask you. You wouldn't tell me before, let alone now."

As she spoke, she got up and walked out, Concubine Han led someone in.

Concubine Han was the side concubine that the first emperor married when he was the crown prince. Later, Empress Xiaoduan passed away, and she gave birth to King Ning. At the end of the year, the current empress dowager entered the palace.After another year and a half, the Queen Mother became pregnant before giving birth to the Holy Majesty.

Therefore, in terms of affection, of course she and the first emperor are stronger, not to mention that King Ning is the first son of the first emperor.

She still remembered the happy look of Emperor Xian when he hugged King Ning, saying that he was as fat as a little meatball.

Concubine Han is shorter than Concubine Wang, and Prince Ning is also like her, and began to gain weight after middle age.She used to restrain herself when the late emperor was alive, but in the past few years after the late emperor passed away, she stopped managing her figure.

Compared with the thin Wang Taifei, she looked even more short and fat.

"Is the matter about King Huai true?" Dowager Han asked.

Princess Wang nodded, "It's true."

"What did the Holy Majesty say?" Concubine Han felt the sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox. This feeling did not exist when King Anshan had an accident. "Killed? Or is it Guanzong's mansion?"

Wang Taifei said: "I have done a lot of evil, so I will kill him!"

Concubine Han said: "But he is the vassal king and his brother, how can he kill as soon as he says it!" After a pause, she said angrily, "Didn't you cry?"

She pointed to Concubine Zhou, "Didn't she just cry and make a fuss at that time, and finally the Holy Lord spared King Anshan from dying and imprisoned him in the clan mansion."

"Go and cry too. Now is not the time for you to be arrogant, that's the meat that fell from your body."

Wang Dowager shook her head, "Don't make it difficult for the Holy One, it's not easy for him either."

"Forget it," Wang Taifei said: "One person has one's life, so what can you do if you keep his life, but life is better than death."

With that said, he left.

"No," Concubine Han pulled her and signaled the servants around her to go out and guard the door. She whispered, "Why do I feel that this is wrong? It's not because the Holy One wanted to cut down the feudal clan, but he didn't dare to make a big show of it, so he used Means?"

If so, wouldn't King Ning be in danger?
"Don't think nonsense," Wang Dowager actually thought the same way, so she came to Yikun Palace to ask Zhou Dowager, knowing that the other party would not say anything, but she still came, "The Holy One is not such a person."

She didn't know if he was such a person, just like King Huai, who was such a well-behaved and sensible child in the past, didn't he become like this now?

People change.

"When will you arrive in Beijing?" Dowager Han asked.

"Estimated to be half a month." Wang Taifei said: "If you are worried, write a letter to King Ning and ask him. Let him check himself."

Concubine Han smiled wryly, "If it's true..." She pointed in the direction of the Imperial Study Room, "Can you save your life by checking?"

"Don't think about it, King Ning has always been smart and won't do stupid things." Wang Taifei said, sighing, "I'm tired, I'm going back."

Said and left.

Concubine Han looked at the mad Concubine Zhou and the noisy bird, and said angrily, "Pretend to be crazy, your son is gone, what's the use of your life."

Said, walked away.

Concubine Zhou's gray hair fell down, covering her face.
