Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen of Shen Yan Renzong's Acknowledgment of the Mother of the Nation, Xuan Mi, and Zhao Liang's Interrogation of Guo Huai

Let's say that Bao Xing followed the Queen Mother and came to Nanqing Palace on the top of the horse.Today is even more different than yesterday, most of which are closed and guarded sedan chairs.All concubines, imperial concubines, concubines, and wives of high officials are in constant contact.But Bao Xing understood the rules, and urged the horse to dismount at the gate of Wangfu in advance.Tie the horse to the stake and step up to the gate of the palace.Just seeing the third master of the bald king there, he hurriedly held his hand and said: "Master, our old lady has arrived."Hearing this, the third master Wang flew into the room, and after a while, he saw two assistants coming out of the room, and said to the people at the door: "Masters who are going on, listen up: Your Majesty, tell me that all those who come will have their own way of defense." If you are tired, avoid them all, and just invite the old lady of Kaifeng Mansion to meet.Everyone agreed repeatedly.Upon hearing this, Bao Xing urged the bearers of the mansion to carry it to the gate of the palace, and these two internal assistants brought him in.Then Mr. Wang came out to Zhang Luo Baoxing and asked him to have tea in the study.Seeing you today, I feel more intimate than yesterday.

It's just that the empress's sedan chair was carried to the second gate, and four eunuchs had come out early. They replaced the bearers and carried it to the third gate.Earlier, Director Ning came to the sedan chair, lifted the curtain, and said, "Madam Tai please be safe."Busily went to the handrail, and the servant girl who came with him helped him get off the sedan chair.The empress also looked at Director Ning, and asked back, "Hello, father-in-law."Director Ning led the way to the bedroom.I saw that Di Niangniang was already receiving her outside the door, and she was surprised when she saw Mrs. Tai from a distance.The empress came to her and wanted to pay her respects.Empress Di quickly stopped her with her hand and said, "Excuse me."The empress is also not modest.

Hand in hand with each other, sit together.After seeing Di, the empress looked much older than she was then. At this time, Empress Di looked at each other carefully, and suddenly remembered that it was like Concubine Li. Because she had died, she could never imagine that she was the current mother of the country, but she always felt uneasy.After the tea offering was over, when we started talking, the questions and answers were fluent, and the demeanor was calm, which is really everyone's style.So Mrs. Tai stayed in the palace for a few more days.This stay is in line with the heart of the empress, even if she agrees.Then he asked Neifu to say: "All the people in sedan chairs and horses, don't have to wait. Your Majesty will stay with Mrs. Tai for a few more days."Followers and servants are rewarded as usual.

The neifu, who had been on duty for a long time, agreed and spread the word. Pass food here.Empress Di wants to sit side by side with Mrs. Tai for the convenience of talking. The empress did not make any concessions, and she seemed more straightforward and generous.Empress Di was very happy.While drinking, Di Housheng said that Bao Gong is loyal, upright and virtuous, which are all the virtues taught by his wife.Empress is a little humble. Empress Di asked again: Mrs. Tai Nian Geng?The empress replied: Forty-two years old.Ask again: How old is your son?In a word, the empress was left speechless when asked, and immediately flushed with anxiety, and could never answer correctly.When Di Hou saw the scene, it was inconvenient to ask questions, so he covered it up with the warmth and coldness of the wine.The empress also refused to drink.Then pass the meal, sit and chat.And I went to pay my respects everywhere, all accompanied by Empress Di.The more you look at it, the more you look like Empress Li who has passed away. Suspicion arose in her heart, and she thought to herself: I just asked her son's age, why couldn't she answer it?He would be flushed with anxiety.Is there any reason in the world that a mother does not remember her son's age?There is something suspicious about it.Does she dare to deceive me?Forget it, since I have left her behind, I will ask her to sleep with me at night, obviously to make out with him, and then I will question her in private.In my heart, I have such evil thoughts, but my eyes can't stop watching. Seeing the behavior of the empress, it becomes more and more doubtful that it is Empress Li, and I can't help but feel more self-deprecating.

In the evening, after dinner, I still sit and gossip.Empress Di ordered: clean up the clean room, and spread pillows and quilts in the clean room. I also want to have heart-to-heart talks with my wife to pass the night.Seeing this scene, the empress is exactly what she wants.When it's time to go back to bed, all the people who inherit the imperial court, even the empress and maids, have their own arrangements, and they dare not enter unless they are called.Di Houyin was thinking about cross-examination: Why don't you know the age of your son?I will ask from now on.That is to say: Madam intends to deceive, what is the reason?The words are very urgent.The empress replied involuntarily: "Sister Huang, don't you recognize Aijia?"Although I said this, I was already sad.When Di Hou heard this, she was shocked and said, "Is Madam Li Empress?"The empress burst into tears, and there was still something to say.Empress Di was anxious and urged: "There is no one in the room at this time, why don't you speak carefully?"The empress stopped crying, Fang Jiang was victimized at the beginning, why Yu Zhong died for him, how he was sent to Chenzhou, how he met Bao Gong who pretended to be his mother, and how he lived in the clean room of Kaifeng Mansion, thanks to the order of Li Shi to knock to the sky to ask for dew, to cleanse his eyes and make him clear , Today I came to celebrate the birthday of Huang Jie, in order to reveal the truth, I said it carefully, and almost didn't cry out.After hearing this, Empress Di was stunned, shed tears unconsciously, and said for a while, "I don't know what evidence is there?"The empress is about to take out the golden pill and hand it over.Empress Di took it in her hand, checked it under the lamp, hurriedly handed over the golden pill in a panic, then knelt down on both knees, and said: "The concubine didn't know the arrival of the phoenix, what an offense, I beg the empress dowager to forgive me!"Empress Dowager Li hurriedly returned the gift and said, "Sister Huang, don't do this."How to let the Holy One know is good.Empress Di thanked, "Don't worry, my lady, the concubine has her own reasons."Then Liu Hou and Guo Huai made a plan to replace the prince with a civet cat.Thanks to Cheng Yu Kou Zhu carried out the prince and handed it over to Chen Lin, and sent him to Nanqing Palace to be raised in a suitcase.Later, Empress Liu's son died of illness, so Fang made up for the vacancy in the East Palace with the Empress Dowager and the prince.Because the prince traveled to the palace, he met the empress in the cold palace. The mother and son were naturally tear-stained.Empress Liu became suspicious and tortured Kou Zhu.Kou Zhu cherished loyalty and died after touching the steps.Therefore, Empress Liu slandered the first emperor, and Fang also said the reason for the death of the empress.Empress Dowager Li woke up like a dream, and couldn't help being sad.After Di Hou tried to comfort her again and again, the Empress Dowager stopped crying and asked: "Sister Huang, how can I let the emperor know so that my mother and son can meet again?"Empress Di said: "When the concubine pretends to be sick, she will send Chief Ning to report to the present day, and the Holy Majesty will come in person."At that time, it was enough for the concubine Chen to confide the truth.The empress praised her kindness, but didn't mention it all night.

In the early morning of the next day, he sent Director Ning to go up to the court to play Ming Shengshang, saying that Empress Di accidentally fell ill at night and was very heavy.Director Ning didn't know the details, so he didn't dare not go, so he obeyed Yi's order and went to court.Empress Di informed the King of Liuhe about it. Unexpectedly, the Holy Majesty had a strange dream at night. He saw a colorful phoenix with incomplete feathers, and the Holy Majesty cried three times.Renzong woke up from his dream, wondering why.When it was five drums, just before the court, the chief manager of Renshou Palace came to play and said, "The Empress Dowager got sick at night and couldn't sleep all night."Hearing this, the emperor thought that the omen of the dream had come true, so he first went to Renshou Palace to pay his respects.So he quietly ordered, keep quiet, and frightened the queen mother.Stepping lightly, entering the bedroom, I heard the sound of groans.Suddenly I heard the Queen Mother say: Kou Gongren, how dare you be so unreasonable!Hear it again.At this time, the palace people had lifted the embroidered curtain, and the emperor entered sideways, and came to the front of the imperial couch.Empress Liu woke up suddenly. Seeing the emperor beside her, she said, "I'm sorry for the emperor's son."Ai's family only suffers from the wind and cold occasionally, and there is no serious illness.And don't worry.After the emperor's greetings, he immediately sent the imperial doctor for treatment.Fearing that the Empress Dowager would be impatient, she gave a few words of comfort and even withdrew.

Just left Renshou Palace, and just arrived at the sub-gong building, I saw the chief steward of Nanqing Palace kneeling down and playing: Empress Di was very ill at night, and the servants came to play.Renzong heard that this shock was no small matter, and immediately ordered him to visit Nanqing Palace in person.I saw the king of Liuhe greeted him.The sage first asked Di Hou about his illness.The king of Liuhe answered vaguely: the empress was sick at night, and she felt better at this time.The sage felt a little comforted in his heart, so he ordered his attendants to wait outside, and Chen Lin was alone to follow.

With this decree, it coincides with the heart of the king of Liuhe, and leads him sideways to the bedroom. But I saw that it was quiet and lonely, and there was not even a servant girl from Chengyu.On the imperial couch, a brocade tent hangs high, and Di lies behind him.Renzong hurried forward to greet him.Empress Di turned around and asked suddenly: Your Majesty, what is the most important thing in the world?The emperor replied: "There is nothing better than filial piety."Empress Di sighed and said, "Since the word filial piety comes first, is there any son who doesn't know his mother's life or death?"Is there a man whose son is the king, but does not know that his mother is wandering outside?The emperor was at a loss to understand these two sentences, and thought it was Di Hou's delirium in his illness.

Empress Di said again: "The minister and concubine know the details of this matter, lest your Majesty will not believe it."When Renzong heard that Empress Di claimed to be a minister and concubine, he was shocked and said, "Why did the empress say that?"Hope to understand the training.Empress Di turned around, pulled out a yellow box from the tent, and said, "Does Your Majesty know the origin of this thing?"Renzong took it, opened it, and saw that it was a jade seal. On the dragon burden, there was an imperial note written by the first emperor, which was used to suppress the invasion of Tiangou, so the seal was used.After watching it, Renzong stood up quickly.Unexpectedly, his wife, Chen Lin, saw Wu's injury by the side, and when he remembered the year, tears were streaming down his face.The emperor turned his head sharply, and was even more surprised to see Chen Lin crying.Then ask the reason for this burden.Di Houfang plotted Guo Huai and Liu Hou to be in the palace, and designed to frame Li Hou, thanks to two loyal people: one is Jinhua Palace Chengyu Kou Zhu, and the other is Chen Lin.Kou Zhu was ordered by Empress Liu to carry the prince out of the palace. At that time, he wrapped it in this burden and secretly handed it over to Chen Lin.After Renzong heard this, he took another look at Chen Lin. At this time, Chen Lin was crying like tears.Empress Di said again: "Thanks to Chen Lin's many adventures, Fang took the prince out and brought him into the Nanqing Palace, where he was raised for six years."His Majesty inherited the heir when he was seven years old, and made up for the vacancy of the Eastern Palace with the late emperor.Thousands of disagreements, ten thousand disagreements, His Majesty saw the tears of Han Gong's mother, which aroused empress Liu's suspicion.Thanks to two loyal ministers: Yu Zhong, a young eunuch, was willing to die for the queen mother, and Qin Fengfang replaced the queen mother and sent her to Chenzhou.Later, Qin Feng died, and there was no owner in the family. The queen mother could not keep her, so she had to beg for food in a broken kiln.Fortunately, Bao Qing was releasing grain in Chenzhou. After Caoqiao recognized his mother, he pretended to be mother and son to hide his eyes and ears.Yesterday, I celebrated my birthday with my concubine before I could meet the mother of the country.After hearing this, Renzong was horrified, burst into tears, and said, "So, where is my emperor now?"All I could hear was the mournful voice behind the wall, and a lady of first-class clothing came out.

Renzong was startled when he saw it.Fearing that the emperor would be suspicious, the queen mother quickly took out the golden pill and gave it to Renzong. The emperor picked it up and saw that it was just like Liuhou Jinwan, except that it was engraved with Yuchen Palace and the name of the empress.Renzong rushed a few steps, knelt down on both knees, and said: "The child is not filial, and the empress is suffering!"Having said that, I couldn't help but burst into tears.Mother and son hugged their heads in grief.Concubine Di had already got out of bed, knelt down in the dust, and pleaded guilty.Lian Liuhe King and Chen Linju knelt beside each other, mourning and persuading each other.Mother and son are sad for a long time.The emperor thanked Concubine Di again and helped her up.Fu took Chen Lin's hand again and cried, "If you don't owe your loyalty to the country, how can I bow!"Chen Lin was already speechless, he could only thank you with tears.Everyone flattened.Renzong said to the queen mother again: "The emperor's mother is suffering so much, and the child is in vain as the emperor. Why do you treat the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?"Don't you offend the world?Having said that, I feel resentful and angry.

Empress Di persuaded from the side: "The Holy Majesty also issued an order, that is, to go to Kaifeng Mansion with Guo Huai and Chen Lin to read it out. Bao Xueshi has his own way."This was Bao Gong's plan, and Li Gao ordered the Empress Dowager Li to play it; the Empress Dowager told Di Empress, and Di Empress played it.At present, Renzong was allowed to play, and comforted the Queen Mother with many words, then drove back to the palace, immediately wrote a draft edict, sealed it tightly, and sent Guo Huai and Chen Lin to Kaifeng Mansion to read it out.Guo Huai thought that it must be Bao Gong, so he agreed with Chen Lin to come to Kaifeng mansion. Let's say that after Bao Gong went to serve his mother yesterday, Bao Xing came back with an empty sedan chair and said: Empress Di left Mrs. Tai, and she will stay for a few more days.The villain came back with an empty sedan chair.There, the servants were rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and the sedan chair was rewarded with twenty taels of money.Bao Gong nodded and said: "Tomorrow, five drums, you go to the court room to inquire, quietly."If anything happens, come back and tell me.Bao Xing took the lead.They returned at dawn the next day. Knowing that Bao Gong was still in the bedroom, he hurried in and coughed lightly on the corridor.Baogong asked: "Are you back?"What's the matter?Bao Xing reported, "I found out that Empress Liu is not well at night, so the Holy Majesty immediately drove to Renshou Palace to pay her respects."Later, a decree was delivered to visit the Nanqing Palace immediately, saying that Empress Di was also ill.Around this time, Sheng Jia had not yet returned to the palace.After hearing this, Bao Gong said, "I see."Bao Xing withdrew.Bao Gong discussed with his wife: "This must be a conspiracy set up by the Empress Dowager to reveal the truth."The husband and wife are secretly happy. Just finished breakfast, suddenly the imperial decree arrived.Bao Gong hurriedly changed his court clothes and entered the court.I saw Guo Huai in the front and Chen Lin in the back, holding the imperial decree.Guo Huai thinks he is the capital and should read the imperial decree.Unfold the seal.After the Baogongshan call was over, Guo Huai read: "By God, the emperor's edict said: Today, the eunuch Guo Gang read this far. When he saw his name, he couldn't read down."Chen Lin next to him took it over and read out: "There is an eunuch Guo Huaimou who is rebellious and has ulterior motives."The first emperor had no heirs, so he didn't think about Yongzuo's loyalty; the queen mother was pregnant, but was suddenly plotted by Xingyao.Embracing the burden of the dragon and not obeying the order of the phoenix, the aspirations of the Kougong people can reach the sky; leaving the North Tower and going to the Southern Qing Dynasty, Mr. Chen's loyalty is as good as the sun.Suspicion arose from the traces of tears, and he spat out the precious pearl at the beginning of Qinglanglang.Stand up and die under the stick; fake curses, slander, and let Yu Zhong stand up for death in Liangjian.As a result, the dignified mother of the country has been wronged for 20 years, and she has suffered a lot from leaving her hometown.If it weren't for Geng Geng Baoqing's loyalty, how could there be a time to return the pearl to the wall.It seems that it is unreasonable to destroy ethics, so it should be strictly examined and deduced, the confession should be investigated according to the imperial edict, and his confidantes should be dissected according to law.It is related to the national code, and the principle is important to the monarch.Qin handed over to Kaifeng government for strict interrogation. Bao Gong shouted long live, stood up, received the imperial edict, and ordered: Take it down! I saw Zhao Hu, the stupefied master, running to his companion, Chen Lin, and reaching out to get it.Bao Gong quickly stopped: bold!Don't back down yet!Master Zhao was taken aback.It was Chao Dynasty and Ma Han who beat Guo Huai's clothes, hats and shoes, brought him to the court, and knelt down.The sacred decree is enshrined on it.Bao Gong set up a public seat to the left.There is a side seat next to it, and Chen Lin is asked to sit.On the same day, Bao Gong entered the official position and said to Guo Huai: "You will soon bring the past and bring it back from the truth."I don't know whether Guo Huai's move or not, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.
