The Legend of God

Chapter 10 Fei Zhongji Abandoned Queen Jiang (2)
It is said that Fei Zhongmi wrote down the strategy and secretly paid Gun.Gun donated the book and played it closely with Daji. Daji was overjoyed and could live in the main palace soon.One day, King Zhou was idly living in Shouxian Palace, and Daji said: "Your Majesty cares about my concubine, and I haven't been in the Golden Palace for ten months. I hope that Your Majesty will come to court tomorrow, without losing civil and military admiration." The king said: "What a beauty says is really rare. Even though the ancient virtuous concubine is a holy queen, it is too much. Tomorrow, when the court is in court, the ruling on the maintenance will not lose the good intention of the virtuous concubine." Officer, this is Fei Zhong and Daji's plan, is it good intentions?Excuse me.The next day, the emperor set up a court, but he saw that the left and right were escorted by the emperor and left the Shouxian Palace.Luanyu passed the Longde Hall and arrived at the Fengong Tower. There were clusters of red lights and fragrant fragrance.In the middle of the walk, there is a person at the corner of the gate of the Fengong Tower. He is four feet tall, wears a scarf on his head, and holds a sword in his hand. He walks like a tiger or a wolf. , Assassinate the faint king, and make the world into a soup without losing it to others, but also keep my lord as the king!" A sword struck.How many guards should be on both sides? Before this person approached, he was protected by all the officials. He was tied up with ropes. He came forward and knelt on the ground.Shocked and angry, King Zhou drove to the main hall and was seated.After the congratulations of the civil and military courts, the officials did not know the reason.The king said: "Xuanwu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu and Ya Bigan."King Zhou said: "Erqing, today's promotion to the palace is very strange." Bigan said: "What's the strange thing?" Hearing this, he was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Which one was in the official residence hall yesterday?" There was a person in it, who was on the list of gods. , There is no spy. Could it be that this person mixed with all the officials into the sub-gong building at the fifth watch, so there is such a change?" Huang Feihu ordered: "Push the assassin here." The officials dragged the assassin before the dripping water.The emperor passed the decree: "Who, all the lords, asked me to understand the decree?" A person in the class flashed out and said: "The minister Fei Zhong is not talented, and the decree is clarified." It was made into a trap to frame Queen Jiang.I am afraid that others will find out the truth, so Fei Zhongxuan went to investigate.

It is said that Fei Zhong detained the assassins and interrogated them outside the Meridian Gate, and there was no need for additional punishment.Fei Zhong entered the hall to see the emperor, and bowed down to return the order.All the officials didn't know that it was a trick, so they listened quietly.The king said: "What did the investigation say?" Fei Zhongzuo said: "I dare not report it." The king said: "Since you understand the investigation, why don't you play it?" Fei Zhong said: "If you pardon my crimes, you can go back." The decree." The king said: "I am not guilty of pardoning you." Fei Zhongzou: "The assassin's surname is Jiang Minghuan, he is Dongbohou Jiang Huan Chu's general, and he was ordered by Queen Jiang of the Central Palace to assassinate His Majesty. Son of Heaven. Fortunately, the Zongshe has a spirit, and the emperor and empress are blessed. Your Majesty is prosperous and blessed, and the conspiracy is revealed, and he will be arrested immediately. Please, Your Majesty, Jiuqing civil and military, discuss your nobles and relatives to make a decision." King Zhou listened to the play, and said angrily: " Empress Jiang is my first spouse, she dares to be rude and treacherous, so what is there to discuss about nobles and relatives? It is hard to get rid of the evils of the palace, and the internal ban is hard to guard against. Hurry up to the imperial concubine Huang Gui of the West Palace, and return the order." King Zhou was furious, and drove back to Shouxian Palace without showing.Moreover, all the ministers discussed it one after another, and it was difficult to distinguish the false from the true.There is Yang Ren, a senior official, who said to King Wucheng: "Empress Jiang is chaste, quiet and virtuous, kind and benevolent, and there are laws in her governance. According to the officials, there must be grievances that are not clear, and there must be adultery in the palace. Listed Your Highness, all the great officials, you must not retreat from the court, and only after listening to the news of Huang Niangniang in the West Palace, can you make a conclusion." All the officials were still in the Jiujian Hall.

The words were delivered to the central palace by the imperial officer, and Empress Jiang received the order and knelt down to listen to the reading.Feng Yuguan read out:
The imperial edict said: The empress is in the middle of the palace, the virtue is matched with Kun Yuan, the noble enemy is the emperor, don't think about vigilance day and night, respect the virtues of Jue, don't embarrass Mu Yi, restrain the internal help, but dare to commit great rebellion, and raise the warrior Jiang Huan in the sub-gong Assassin in front of the building.Fortunately, there is a spirit in heaven and earth, the big traitor was caught, sent to the Meridian Gate, and the investigation revealed that the queen and her father, Jiang Huanchu, conspired against the law.Then Feng Yuguan took it to the West Palace, so that he could make an investigation and commit a serious crime.Don't indulge in favoritism, the crime will come back.special edict.

After hearing this, Empress Jiang burst into tears and said, "What a grievance! What an injustice! Is it the unforgivable crime of a traitor who caused trouble and harmed me? Poor palace for several years. Acting recklessly, there are embarrassing instructions. Today, the emperor didn't know the origin, and sent me to the West Palace, and my life is not guaranteed." Jiang Hou wept sadly, tears dripping down his breasts.After Feng Yuguan and Jiang later came to the West Palace, Huang Guifei put her will first and respected her country's laws.Empress Jiang knelt down and said: "My Jiang family has always been loyal and good, and the queen of heaven and earth can learn from my heart. Unfortunately, I have been framed by someone. I hope that the beggar concubine will learn from my usual actions and become the master of the slave. I will be wronged." Concubine Huang said: "The imperial decree says that you order Jiang Huan to kill the king, sacrifice the country and the Dongbo Marquis Jiang Huanchu, and usurp the world of Tang. The matter is serious, against the etiquette and incest, and loses the righteousness of husband and wife, and the kindness of the original match. If you talk about love Really, belong to the nine tribes of Yi." Jiang Hou said: "The virtuous concubine, I am Jiang Huanchu's daughter, my father is in Donglu, and I am the head of the two hundred princes in the town. The daughter is the middle palace, and is above the four princes. Besides, I gave birth to a son, Yinjiao, who is already in the east palace. After the saint ascended to the throne, my son will inherit the throne and become the empress dowager. I have never heard that my father is the son of heaven, but he can make a woman feel bad. I am also a member of the Taimiao. Although I am a woman, I may not be so stupid. And the princes of the world, not only my father, if the world asks the teacher who sinned, how can he keep it forever? Wangxian concubine will investigate carefully, and she will regret this strange injustice. There is no such thing Please beg for the decree and convey the foolishness, this kindness is not small." Before the words were finished, the imperial decree came to remind.Concubine Huang took a chariot to Shouxian Palace to wait for the order.King Zhou Xuanhuang concubine entered the palace, after the congratulations, King Zhou said: "Has that bitch recruited?" The Empress is the first consort who has served the emperor for many years and has been favored by His Majesty. His Royal Highness has been seated in the East Palace. Long live Your Majesty. As the Empress Dowager, what's wrong with him? How dare you deceive your heart and create such a catastrophe! Dong Bo, the emperor's relative, the princes called Qiansui in the court, he is the best of the ministers, dare to make people assassinate, it must be unreasonable. Jiang Empress is hurt in the bone marrow, and the grievance is on the raspberry. That is, Jiang Empress The most stupid, there is no father who is the son of heaven, but a daughter who can be the queen mother, and a nephew who can bear the burden. If you abandon the noble and cast the low, the fool will not do it, and the empress Jiang is just a few years old. Well? I hope that your Majesty will find out the injustice, and that you will not let your wife be wronged. If you are good and virtuous, you will beg to see the prince's birth mother, and forgive her with mercy. I am very lucky for my life, and it is very lucky for Empress Jiang to raise her family." After hearing this, King Zhou thought to himself and said "Huang Fei's words are very clear. If there is no such thing, there must be grievances." Just as he was hesitating, he saw Daji beside him, sneering slightly.Seeing Daji smiling, King Zhou asked, "Why is the beauty silent when she smiles?" Daji said to him, "Huang Niangniang was bewitched by Queen Jiang. People who do things always spread the good ones by themselves, and push the bad ones to others. Conspiracy and ignorance, how can he easily admit important matters? And Jiang Huan is the person his father uses, since he has a master envoy, how can he rely on it? And the concubine of the three palaces, why don't you talk about others, just pointing at Empress Jiang How can you admit it without severe punishment? I hope your Majesty will examine it carefully." King Zhou said: "The beauty's words are justified." Huang Fei said in a side note: "Su Daji should not be like this! The queen is the son of heaven. The first wife, the mother of the world, the noble enemy and the lord, even though the three emperors have ruled the world and the five emperors have been kings, even if there are major faults, there is no way to relegate, and there is no way to punish the palace." Daji said: "The law is for The world is established, and the Son of Heaven proclaims and transforms Heaven, and he is not allowed to be selfish. It is a crime to violate the law without honoring relatives, noble or humble. Your Majesty can pass on a decree. If the Queen of Jiang does not recruit, goug out his eyes. Eyes are the seedlings of the heart, he is afraid The pain of gouging out the eyes is naturally admitted, so that civil and military people know it, this is also the law, and there is no need to be too demanding." King Zhou said: "The words of Daji are also true."

Concubine Huang Gui was very busy when she heard that she wanted to gouge out the eyes of Empress Jiang, so she had to get on the chariot and go back to the West Palace.Seeing Jiang Hou on the chariot, she burst into tears and said, "My empress, Daji is your enemy for a hundred generations. If you don't recognize the words of jealousy, I will goug out your eyes. If you obey me, you will admit it. The kings of the past dynasties have no reason to harm the main palace, so it is easy to be demoted to the palace." Jiang Hou cried and said: "Although I am a virtuous sister, I have learned a lot about etiquette in my life, so how can I admit this great treason?" , to embarrass my parents and offend the clan? Kuang’s wife assassinating her husband is indecent, corrupts the rules and regulations, makes my father an unfaithful and treacherous minister, and I am a lowly person who humiliates the family and ruined the family. Later generations said that the gnashing of teeth caused the crown prince to be unable to settle down in the reserve position, and the stake was so great, how can he pretend to be hasty! Don't say gouging out my eyes, then throwing it in a cauldron, cutting me into a thousand hammers, this is a crime committed in my lifetime, and I will be repaid in this life , How can there be obedience and righteousness? The ancient saying: "Don't be afraid of smashing your bones and breaking your body, just leave your innocence in the world." Before the words were finished, the imperial decree: "If the Queen Jiang doesn't recognize it, go to one eye." Huang Fei said: " Quickly admit it!" Empress Jiang cried and said: "If you die, there is no reason to pretend to be false!" The imperial officials persecuted him in every possible way, but he couldn't bear it, so he gouged out one of Empress Jiang's eyes, blood stained his clothes, and fainted to the ground.Concubine Huang hurriedly taught the left and right palace people to help and rescue, but she was anxious and did not wake up.Pitiful!There are poems to prove it.The poem says:
Gouging out the eyes and flying disasters can't help, just because the regulations and remonstrances invaded each other.Knowing that the country is broken and hopeless, Kong Xiangxi Palace is blood-stained.

Concubine Huang Gui burst into tears when she saw Jiang Hou being tortured so cruelly.The imperial officer will goug out the blood and put it in a pan, and put it on the chariot with the concubine Huang to go back and forth to King Zhou.The concubine Huang got off the chariot and entered the palace, and King Zhou hurriedly asked, "Has that bitch ever been recruited?" According to the decree, one eye has been taken." Concubine Huang took Jiang Hou's bloody eye and held it up.King Zhou saw it, saw Jiang Hou's eyes, his heart couldn't bear it, he had been in love for many years, he regretted and was not in a hurry, bowed his head and said nothing, feeling very hurt, looking back and scolding Daji, he said: "I just believed your words, gouged out Jiang Hou's eyes, and then If you have not been recruited, who will be to blame? This is all your reckless action. If all the officials refuse to accept, what can I do! What can I do!" Daji said: "Empress Jiang will not recruit, and the officials will naturally say, how can you stop? Kuang Dongbohou Sitting in charge of a country, you must also cleanse the women. This matter must be recruited by Queen Jiang, so that the mouths of hundreds of officials and surnames will not be avoided." King Zhou was silent, and his heart was tormented, like a sheep touching a vassal, in a dilemma.For a long time, I asked Daji: "What is the best way to deal with the current plan?" Daji said: "This is the end of the matter. If you don't do it, you will never stop. If you succeed, you will be quiet and talk about it. There is no Ning Yu. For today's plan, there is only torture and torture. I am not afraid that he will deny it. Today, the decree is passed, ordering the imperial concubine to use a copper bucket, put charcoal in it and burn it red. The pain is unbearable, don't worry if he doesn't admit it!" King Zhou said: "According to what Huang Fei said, Empress Jiang has nothing to do with it, and now he is using this cruel punishment to investigate the palace, fearing that the officials will disagree. Gouging out the eyes has been wrong. How can it be any more?" Daji said: "Your Majesty is in a bad situation. When things come to this, you will be able to ride a tiger. I would rather Qu Kan Jianghou, Your Majesty should not offend the princes of the world, and join the civil and military courts." King Zhou had no choice but to pass the decree He said: "If you don't admit it anymore, you can burn second-hand hands with a cannon, and you don't have to be partial." Hearing this, Concubine Huang lost her mind, and went back to the palace on the chariot to see Empress Jiang.Poor body was dusty, blood stained clothes, and the scene was unbearable. She burst into tears and said, "my virtuous lady, what evil did you do in your previous life? You offended heaven and earth, and you were tortured like this." Said: "Your Majesty, you have to admit it. If you are a fool, you will die if you listen to the words of the slut. If you don't do it again, I will burn your second hand with a copper cannon. How can I bear to see such a horrible thing?" !" Jiang Hou's face was stained with blood and tears, and she cried loudly, "I have committed a lot of crimes in my lifetime, so why don't I die! It's just that you make a witness for me, and you will die in peace." It was burned red, and the decree said: "If Jiang Hou does not recognize it, he will be branded second-hand." Jiang Hou's heart is like iron stone, and his meaning is like steel.Feng Yuguan couldn't help but put the copper bucket on the back of the ginger in both hands. The tendons were broken and the skin was scorched.Later generations will be very sad to see this.There is a poem that sighs and says:
The copper bucket is burning red and flames are burning, and the palace people are ruthless at this moment.The pitiful piece of loyalty has turned into a palace stream that sings day and night.

Seeing this scene, Huang Fei cried bitterly when the rabbit died and the fox was sad.Go to the chariot to return the decree, and enter the palace to see King Zhou.Concubine Huang said with tears in her eyes: "Terrible punishments and cruel laws, repeated severe trials, there is no real reason for the assassination. I'm afraid that the treacherous officials will communicate with each other inside and outside, and harm the palace. The chances of things will change, and the disaster will not be small." King Zhou heard that, Daji said in shock: "This matter is taught by the beauty to pass the decree to inquire. If it is the case, what can I do? What can I do?" Daji knelt and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the assassin Jiang Huan is now. The decree is delivered to the mighty general Chao Tian , Chao Lei, escort Jiang Huan into the West Palace, and the two asked each other, is Jiang Hou still evading? This time I will definitely confess." King Zhou said: "This is very good." The decree: "Announce the arrest of the assassin for interrogation. "Concubine Huang doesn't ask questions when she returns to the palace.It is said that Chao Tian and Chao Lei besieged the assassin Jiang Huan and entered the West Palace to speak to each other.I don't know how my life will be, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.
