Emperor Jing Liu Qi and Empress Wang Zhi looked at the Wanmin Umbrella.

The Manmin Umbrella is made of black silk.Like the emperor's canopy, the round top is embroidered with the word "Fushou".There are three layers of black silk around the dome, and the four directions are embroidered gold silk dragons, and the lower edge of the three layers is embroidered with golden auspicious cloud patterns.Among the dragons, the red silk thread embroidered the names of more than 200 people with surnames such as "瞷", "Li", "Zhu", "Ye" and "Ji".The lowest layer of silk, with red tassels, is embellished with sequins made of shells.

Such a finely embroidered Wanmin umbrella, how could it be produced in more than ten days?What's more, the epidemic has caused panic among people. Who is in the mood to make people's umbrellas?In addition, Emperor Wen and Jing were frugal, so fine embroidery and fine carving were not advocated. How many embroiderers and how long did it take to embroider so many dragons and names?Someone must have made it in advance, looking for an opportunity to send it to the emperor.

Although there were many doubts, Emperor Jing Liu Qi and Empress Wang Zhi were very happy.Just dozed off to a pillow.Which emperor who is so happy with his achievements doesn't like obedient people who flatter his horse?What's more, the people who will guard the mausoleum for themselves after Qianqiu?

Therefore, with a swipe of his pen, Emperor Jing Liu Qi issued an imperial decree to reduce the tax of Yangling Town for one year.The Wanmin Umbrella was erected in the front hall of Weiyang Palace for the courtiers to watch.

Wang Zhi sneered secretly: The reason why these rich and powerful families became rich is that they have some means, and many of them collude with officials to grab benefits.Acting as a submissive person, he arrived at the beginning, waited and watched and then waited for the opportunity to make a relationship and find a backer.When she has the opportunity, she will go to see those who proposed to enshrine the imperial envoy in the clan ancestral hall...

"Queen, when are you going to the Liang Kingdom?" Emperor Jing Liu Qi asked gloomily.

"When does Your Majesty think the courtiers and concubines should leave?" Knowing that he couldn't prevaricate, Wang Zhi followed Liu Qi's words and asked.

"The queen will go to see King Linjiang on my behalf, and then let's set off!"

"King of Linjiang? Rong'er has returned to Beijing?"

"It's been three days since he returned to Beijing. He's been in the prison of Tingwei Mansion. He's been begging to see me... Sigh!" Liu Qi sighed heavily.

"Why do you want my concubine to see him?" Wang Zhi asked.

"Wei Qihou, Dou Yingzhi, knew that Rong'er returned to the capital, and was soaked in the Tingwei's mansion, so it was inconvenient to move around. Rong'er can't see me, and he wants to see the queen... You, go!" Emperor Jing Liu Qi seemed to have tears in his eyes. , hurriedly turned his back to Wang Zhi.

A father wants to kill his parents and children, but he also has to stay out of the matter and let others do the dirty work.Wang Zhi smiled coldly.

It's hard for Liu Qi!The young couple with Li Ji tasted love for the first time and became a father for the first time.For the first woman, the first son, why not devote yourself wholeheartedly?But for the sake of the country to pass on from generation to generation, the great Han is prosperous, and the butcher's son kills his wife, his heart hurts but he will not be soft.

The emperors of the Han Dynasty are all political animals.Emperor Wen came to Beijing from Daiguo to proclaim himself emperor, except Queen Lu and her four sons, isn't it the same?
How could Wang Zhi refuse?Liu Rong, the king of Linjiang, has been back to Beijing for three days.There are many dreams in the night, if Queen Mother Dou finds out and intervenes, the consequences will be unpredictable.Wei Qihou, what on earth are you, Dou Ying, trying to get in here?

"See the empress!" Ting Weizhidu and Wei Qihou Dou Ying saw Wang Zhi's arrival and bowed down.

"You two lovers are in peace!" Wang Yan smiled, "I have just returned from Yangling. I heard that King Linjiang is here and wants to see me. What's the matter?"

"This..." Zhidu looked at Wei Qihou, waiting for him to speak.

"This is Tingwei's mansion. What's going on, naturally Zhi Tingwei knows." Dou Ying left it clean.

"Lieutenant Zhi Ting, take me to see King Linjiang." Seeing this, Wang Zhi put Dou Ying aside.

"I obey!" Zhi Du respectfully led the empress, out of the front hall, and walked towards the imperial prison behind.

"The king of Linjiang is returning to Beijing, how does Dou Ying know that he is here?" Wang Zhi asked.

"Dou Ying is the abolished prince and grand tutor. I don't know if there is any correspondence. Maybe the king of Linjiang returned to Beijing and told him." Zhi Du was irritated, "He came here to drink tea and play chess. I don't like this , but can’t shirk it!”

The speaking room has reached the prison.The guard opened the cell door. In the dark cell, light came in from the tall window, reflecting the particles of floating dust in the air.

"Mother!" A voice came from the darkness.

Before Wang Zhi's eyes got used to the darkness, the thin young man rushed over and bowed down.

"Mother's queen! My son pays homage to his mother's queen!"

"Rong'er, get up!" Wang Zhi said.Although she is only seven years older than Liu Rong, she is a queen and her aunt.

"Mother! I beg my mother to save my children!" Liu Rong cried on the ground and did not get up.

"King Linjiang, get up!" Wang Zhi had no choice but to order.

Liu Rong stood up, still wiping away tears.Wang Zhi waved his hands and turned everyone away.

"Rong'er, you've lost weight!" Wang Zhi said, sighing, "I just came back from Yangling. There was an epidemic there, and dozens of people died... I didn't know Rong'er was back until I returned to Beijing. See you." What's the matter with this palace?"

"Mother! The child is guilty! I beg the mother to save the child!" Liu Rong cried.

"The empress dowager sympathized with the dilapidated and small palace of the son-in-law, and gave ten thousand gold to expand the palace. The empress dowager also gave the son-in-law a thousand gold..."

Wang Zhi smiled: "That's right. The Empress Dowager bestowed ten thousand gold to the King of Linjiang. I have a heart, but I can't surpass the Empress Dowager. Giving a thousand gold is also a little bit of my heart. I hope that the King of Linjiang will be prosperous and peaceful in his country!"

"I thank my mother!" Liu Rong was very grateful, "It's just because there is the ancestral temple next to the Linjiang Palace. The ministers suggested that the ancestral temple and the palace should be integrated, otherwise the palace will be new and big, but the ancestral temple will be dilapidated, losing royal dignity... My son It's not the land of the ancestral temple!" Liu Rong wept and kowtowed as he spoke.

"Rong'er!" Wang Zhi hurriedly went to support him, "Rong'er is a feudal lord and the lord of a country, how come he has no opinion and listens to other people's words..." Tears were streaming down his face as he spoke.

"The ancestral temple is the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty. It is dedicated to the ancestors and several generations of emperors. It is worshiped by officials and people. It is not the temple of your Linjiang king. How can you enclose the ancestral temple in the palace! Doing this is against the ancestors' rules. Law!"

"My son knows his mistake! I beg my mother to save my son! The emperor blames me for not seeing my son. I can't bear it!" Liu Rong cried bitterly.

Wang Zhi didn't make a sound, only shed tears.

"My son knows my mother and empress are kind. My mother and concubine have always been jealous of my father's favoring of my mother and the ten emperors' younger brothers, and secretly used witches to cast spells and curses. But my mother never treated my son and mother concubine poorly... When my mother and concubine died, others avoided her. It's not as good as it is that the mother took care of the affairs of the mother and concubine, was buried in Yangling, and built a tomb, which is comparable to the mausoleum of the vassal king!"

Wang Yan felt resentful when he heard this, "Li Ji, you curse my mother and son, you will be fine? I don't care about the dead! After your death, you will be buried in a grand funeral. I will give you your first love, the emperor and your good son." Look! In the end, Ben Gong is still a good person! But for you, the grass on the grave has turned green and yellow, and the grass has turned yellow and green!"

"My concubine mother and Empress Bo conspired to assassinate the ten emperor's younger brother. I am incompetent and cannot dissuade them! Che'er is extremely intelligent and a hero descended from heaven! They go against the sky and will suffer from it..."

Wang Zhi wiped away tears: "Rong'er blames your father for deposing your crown prince? It's not Che'er who wants to fight with you, it's your father's decision!"

"My son dare not! My son has never complained about my father... The emperor's grandfather predicted before his death that Che'er is the hero, and it is the destiny of heaven..."

"How do you know this? Where do you start?" Wang Zhi asked in surprise.

"When the emperor's grandfather was dying, he called his mother to the empress to see him. It was Wei Qihou who told his son and minister what he said to the Lord Xiong... The emperor's father made his son the king of Linjiang, and the Taifu Wei Qihou persuaded his son to accept his fate!"

It turned out that before Emperor Wen passed away, he summoned Wang Zhi, who was pregnant, to see him, and looked at his abdomen and said "the hero". Not only Liu Qi understood, but Dou Ying who was present also noticed.Anyone else know?

"My son has accepted his fate! My son just wants to be a vassal king! I beg my mother to save my son! Save my son!"

Seeing Liu Rong cry bitterly, Wang Yan choked up: "Rong'er, you keep saying that you are a minister, but you know that you are a minister, and this palace is also a minister? The life and death of a minister depends on the king's thought... This palace was once falsely accused of being a demon girl and burned to sacrifice to heaven. ; because of a few words, he was thrown into the desperate situation of Yongxiang and nearly died; he was also pushed into the grave by your father and was almost buried alive..."

Wang Zhi looked sad, "The so-called father and son, the monarch and the minister. In this palace, how can there be any family relationship between father and son? How can there be love between husband and wife? After all, there are only the monarch and the minister! The ruler wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die... "

"The king wants the minister to die..." Liu Rong fell down and sat down on the ground, "The king wants the minister to die... But, the minister didn't invade the ancestral temple! I think that Chao Cuo was an internal history, and he made his own decision for the convenience of getting in and out. The door was opened on the wall of the ancestral temple. Prime Minister Shentu played in the court hall, and the emperor did not punish Chao Cuo! Why, why is it a capital offense to come here?!"

"Because... because you are the abolished prince!" Wang Yan wept sadly, "The epidemic in Yangling City has been rumored to be the deposed prince and caused the wrath of the heavens! Your father is so worried that he is restless day and night, so he wants to inspect the epidemic... I will go there on behalf of your father, so that you can be safe... How did you cause such a disaster?...In your father's eyes, you are a rebellious flag! There are always people who use you to attack the government!"

Liu Rong cried and shook his head: "My son has never turned back! Never turned back!"

"Rong'er, you still don't understand? You are an adult and once a prince. What if someone proclaims you emperor and instigates rebellion in your name... Your father cuts down the vassal, and between the princes and the court, there will always be someone who wants to challenge you." matter!" Wang Zhi paused every word, and said softly, "Your existence is a threat to the imperial power and state system!"

Liu Rong's face was pale, and he murmured: "My son...there is only one way to die...!" He frowned, "The king wants, the minister dies... the father wants, the son dies..."

"My son is guilty!" Liu Rong knelt down and kowtowed, "My son...has written a statement of guilt...I beg my mother to pass it on to my father..."

Seeing Liu Rong holding the bamboo slips and knife and pen, Wang Zhi changed his expression: "Where did this knife and pen come from?"

"My son wanted to write a letter to the emperor, but Zhi refused. It was Wei Qihou who secretly sent someone to send it..."

Wang Zhi took the letter, but Liu Rong refused to give her the pen and knife.

"Give me the knife and pen," Wang Yan sighed softly, "Wei Qihou was your grand tutor and cared for you very much. He sent the letter and knife and pen, probably because he was afraid that your letter with a brush would be tampered with, so he sent the knife and pen here. If you find out where the saber and pen came from, Rong'er can't fall into the injustice of the Grand Tutor!"

Liu Rong was silent for a while, and handed the knife and pen to Wang Zhi: "The queen mother is always so kind and considerate of others. My ministers are so envious of Ping'er and Che'er. They have such a good mother as the queen mother, who is beautiful, gentle, and wise... After seeing my mother, I took them to make windmills, make lanterns, and read books. At that time, Rong'er thought, if I can die and be reborn as your child, I would rather die!"

As he said that, Liu Rong knelt down, kowtowed respectfully and earnestly: "Please come back, Queen Mother!"

Clutching the letter and knife and pen in his hands, Wang Zhi turned and went out, and the guard came to lock the door.

After walking a few steps forward, Wang Zhi wanted to stop, turned around to look at the thin man who was about to return to dust, and finally held back, and hurried out of the prison.

Zhidu, who was waiting in the distance, carefully followed the gloomy Wang Zhi.Wang Zhi handed Liu Rong's letter to Zhidu.

"Take it and burn it!"

What indictment?To live is a sin, and to apologize with death, do you still need a confession?

Go back to the front hall.Dou Ying was walking up and down there restlessly, and saw Wang Zhi rushing to salute.

Wang Zhi slapped the knife and pen in front of Dou Ying: "Wei Qihou! You did a good job!"

Dou Ying hastily knelt down: "I'm guilty!"

"The king of Linjiang is cowardly and depressed! If you send the knife and pen to the cell, if he uses it to kill himself, can you afford it? The emperor and the empress dowager blame you, what should you do?!" Wang Zhi shouted loudly. .

"The minister is guilty! The minister deserves to die!" Dou Ying kowtowed and trembled all over.

"My palace suppresses this matter. Wei Qihou, I hope you can do it for yourself. You pretend to be smart, but sometimes you are confused..."

Wang Zhi said coldly, seeing Dou Ying profusely sweating, he exchanged glances with Zhidu, got up and drove back to the palace.

Zhi Qing, who accompanied her in the car, told Wang Zhi: When the Empress Feng's chariot left the Tingwei's mansion, Wei Qihou Dou Ying ran away as if her butt was on fire, running fast!
As soon as he returned to Weiyang Palace, someone from Tingwei's Mansion came to report to Emperor Jing—Linjiang King Liu Rong was afraid of his crime, and committed suicide by committing suicide!
Emperor Jing Liu Qi received the report and remained silent.

"Your Majesty," Wang Zhi hurriedly told Emperor Jing, "I don't know some good person who told the Queen Mother about Rong'er's death! The Queen Mother fainted!"

"The empress and I are going to Changle Palace as soon as possible!" Liu Qi glanced at Wang Zhi with resentful eyes.

Wang Zhi bowed his head, his eyes were cold: Isn't this the result you want?

"Rong'er... the eldest grandson of the Ai family!..." Empress Dowager Dou was so sad that she lay down on the couch and cried loudly.

"My mother's condolences!" Wang Zhi wept and comforted her, "Rong'er is cowardly. He made a mistake and couldn't bear the punishment, so he committed suicide! How could he live up to the empress dowager's favor and the emperor's expectations!"

"Rong'er of the mourning family..." Empress Dowager Dou cried and grabbed Wang Zhi's hand, "He tied his belt around the prison door, hung it around his neck, and knelt in the direction of Weiyang Palace to commit suicide!"

"Where is the emperor, where is the emperor?" Empress Dowager Dou thumped the couch with her fists and roared, "What crime did Rong'er commit?! How dare he kneel down and apologize like this?!"

Emperor Jing Liu Qi heard the words and knelt down: "Mother! The child only sent him for questioning, and shut him up for a few days as a punishment... Who would have expected him to be so cowardly and cowardly! It was he who betrayed the imperial grandmother's favor..."

"A question came?! It was a question, why was he imprisoned in Tingwei's Mansion Prison?!" Queen Dowager Dou angrily grabbed the pillow beside the couch and threw it out, "Arrest Tingweizhi to Aijia !"

"Queen Mother, calm down!" Wang Zhi cried and persuaded, "Queen Mother is about to die! If Rong'er knows that Grandmother is so sad, he will definitely blame himself for betraying Grandmother!"

Empress Dowager Dou frowned and shook her head: "Aijia is dizzy... Aijia, Aijia wants to kill that Zhidu, and pay for my life with Ronger!" After finishing speaking, she covered her head and fell straight down!
The plot has reached its climax, everyone has votes, so support!It will be more exciting later!
