Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 157 The Death of Concubine Jiang

On the day Jiang Lang returned to Beijing, he was called into the palace by Emperor Yong'an, and Jiang Lang stayed in the palace for a whole day before leaving.

The next day, during the Great Court Meeting, the Nanman Kingdom submitted the letter of surrender on the spot. Since then, the Nanman Kingdom has become a subsidiary state of the Jing Dynasty and needs to pay tribute to the Jing Dynasty every year.

In addition to the Nanman Kingdom submitting the letter of surrender at the court meeting that day, the most important point was that Jiang Lang sued the British Gong Jiang Su and his son for treachery, colluding with the Nanman Kingdom and King Kang, and deliberately losing to the Nanman Kingdom on the battlefield.

Jiang Lang's words caused an uproar in the court. Many people thought it was impossible, but Jiang Lang's evidence was sufficient, and they couldn't believe it.

The British father and son were imprisoned on the spot, the British government's house was ransacked, and other family members were also imprisoned, awaiting execution.

Moreover, Emperor Yong'an also ordered people to thoroughly investigate Kang Wang's rebellion.

Everyone in the court was in danger for a while.

Kang Wang's rebellion has been raging for a long time, and there are countless ministers implicated in the court, and the Wei family is the first to bear the brunt.

In the palace, the second princess heard that Wei's house had been ransacked, and when Wei Jianyuan was imprisoned in Dali Temple, she wanted to find Emperor Yong'an, but Feng Zhaoyi restrained her.

"Are you stupid? You have all divorced. What happened to the Wei family has nothing to do with you. What's more, what the Wei family committed this time is not a trivial matter. They have participated in the conspiracy. Do you think your father can be kind? You Going to look for your father at this time, do you think your father can spare the Wei family, or do you think your father has not completely disliked you yet, and you want your father to be disappointed in you to the end?"

"I..." The second princess was at a loss for words, she just lost her head when she heard the news about Wei Jianyuan.

The second princess lowered her head, "Mother, I'm not going."

"That's right." Feng Zhaoyi said with satisfaction: "Be obedient and obedient. After your father has been busy for a while, you should go to your father's face more often to please your father, and then let your father give you Choose a new consort."

After Wei Jianyuan's incident, Feng Zhaoyi did not dare to intervene in the second princess's marriage anymore.

In Yunhua Palace, Jiang Man finally understood why Wei Shao wanted to marry the second princess for Wei Jianyuan after hearing that the Wei family had participated in King Kang's rebellion.

Wan Dong remembered that Emperor Yong'an came to Yunhua Palace because of the second princess's marriage, and asked Jiang Man, "Master, do you think the emperor knew that the Wei family wanted to rebel, so he would not agree to the second princess marrying Wei Jianyuan?" .”

Lianqiu retorted, "But the emperor finally agreed to the second princess to marry Wei Jianyuan. If the emperor knew that the Wei family was going to rebel, how could he finally agree to the second princess to marry Wei Jianyuan?"

Jiang Man said: "At that time, the second princess threatened her with death, so it's not surprising that the emperor would agree."

At that time, Jiang Man felt that Emperor Yong'an refused to allow the second princess to marry into the Wei family because of Concubine Wei De's affairs, but now it seems that Emperor Yong'an was really hesitant, and he might have known that the Wei family was unwilling to be a minister, not only the Wei family, Perhaps Emperor Yong'an already knew about the contact between Kang Wang and the British Duke, and he kept silent all the time, in order to clean up those restless people in the court all at once.

Although Jiang Man had never regarded Emperor Yong'an as a foolish emperor, but this incident let Jiang Man know that Emperor Yong'an's thoughts were much deeper than she thought.

Jiang Man has been paying attention to the incense that Ruan Liangying found from her on the [-]th day of the new year, but Emperor Yong'an seemed to have forgotten about it, and never mentioned it in front of her. Douzi went to investigate in private, but the people who had handled the incense were all dead. Xiaodouzi searched around, but found nothing.

Jiang Man is a little suspicious now, maybe Emperor Yong'an doesn't want her to find out anything.

It was already February when the shock in the court was completely over. The courtiers who participated in King Kang's treason were ransacked, their heads were beheaded, and exiled. King Kang was also given Jiujiu. .

Concubine Jiang Gui, who had been imprisoned for more than a month, received the death edict from Emperor Yong'an on the second day of February.

I always thought that there was nothing wrong with the concubine mother, even if the Jiang family had nothing to do with her concubine mother, at most her concubine mother could come out after being imprisoned for a period of time. Only then did the third princess realize that the matter was serious.

As soon as she received the news, she went to Qianning Palace to beg Emperor Yong'an to take back her order, but the three princesses knelt in Qianning Palace for a long time until she passed out, and Emperor Yong'an did not change her mind.

When the third princess woke up, Concubine Jiang Guifei had already been poisoned to death with a glass of poisoned wine, and several people who served Concubine Jiang personally in Changchun Palace also died.

In Lama Temple, when Concubine Gao Xian heard the news of Concubine Jiang’s death, she couldn’t describe her feelings at the moment. She originally thought she would be happy, but when she actually heard the news, she didn’t feel very happy. complicated.

When the Jiang family was there, Concubine Jiang was arrogant and domineering, and Emperor Yong'an did not touch her when she did so many shameful things behind her back, but when the Jiang family was no longer, whether to deal with Concubine Jiang was just a word of Emperor Yong'an .

She used to think that Emperor Yong'an really liked Concubine Jiang, but now she realized that Concubine Jiang was just a pawn for Emperor Yong'an to win over Jiang's family, and the emperor's luck can be seen.

Maybe she should be thankful that her father is still being used by the emperor, so she is still a high-ranking concubine. If one day the Gao family is like the Jiang family, I don't know if she will end up like the Jiang noble concubine.

Lianxiang and Lianqiao didn't know what Concubine Gao Xian thought in the county, and they were still happy for Concubine Gao Xian, "Your Majesty, you are the only one among the four concubines now, Your Majesty will be the most noble in the harem from now on. one of them."

"Where did you put the empress dowager in this way?" Concubine Gao Xian asked, "I am the last concubine of the four concubines, how can I be considered the most honorable concubine in the harem?"

Lianxiang and Lianqiao looked at each other in blank dismay.

Lianxiang looked at the expression on Concubine Xian's face, and asked tentatively: "Why doesn't this servant seem very happy to see your mother?"

"It's just that something hurts its kind." Concubine Gao Xian didn't want to say much, but said: "I will just be a 'leisure' concubine with peace of mind from now on. You are by my side, so don't feel that you have something What's so great, your master is just an ordinary concubine who has no grace, no prince to be around, understand?"

Lian Xiang and Lian Qiao didn't understand, now that Concubine Jiang Gui is dead, won't the matter of managing the harem fall on their empresses?At this time, shouldn't their empress be high-spirited and ready to flex their muscles?Why did their mother say such despondent words instead.

But looking at Concubine Gao Xian's expression, Lian Xiang and Lian Qiao didn't ask any more questions, they only assured her: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servants will never cause trouble for your Majesty."

"En." Concubine Gao Xian lazily replied without saying anything.
