Chapter 626? Execution
The execution of the little palace maid Sikong Yingxue is because the Great De Emperor cannot give anyone the opportunity to know that he is inhumane. Even if the thirteen-year-old palace maid is not familiar with the world, others understand. If she is not strict with her mouth, she will reveal her illness to others, I am afraid that everyone in the future will know about her hidden illness. He cannot let this risk occur, so she must die, which is considered her unlucky.
The Great De Emperor was very worried. Since he was frightened by falling into the water, he had been taking medicine to recuperate, so he never touched women again. Although there were many palace maids in the palace, because he was not enthusiastic about men and women since he was a child, he did not care about the fact that he had not become interested in women in the past two years. At first, he simply thought that he was focused on political affairs and no longer interested in men and women after he was over thirty years old, but he never expected that he would not take any more today.
The face of the Great De Emperor turned red and white. His not keen on men and women's affairs does not mean that he is willing to accept that he is a god-elephant. He suddenly thought that when he was young, he sent someone to poison the former crown prince Xuanyuan Zixun, which led to the god-elephant being inhumane. Is this retribution? He began to suspect that he was poisoned, but who poisoned himself? After thinking about it, the only person who could poison himself was Zhang Xiaowu - which also explained why Zhang Xiaowu treated Xuanyuan Chenghua so well. It turned out that he had known that he was inhumane.
Emperor Dade suddenly thought that Zhang Xiaowu was originally a soldier of the Qinglong Army and was under Xuanyuan Zixun. Later, Xuanyuan Zixun was imprisoned in Mucheng. He must have received Xuanyuan Zixun's instructions, and he was even avenging Xuanyuan Zixun. Thinking of this, Emperor Dade seemed to understand that all of this was Zhang Xiaowu's fault.
"Hurry! Imperial Hospital, go to Imperial Hospital!" shouted Emperor Dade.
Gou Delu looked at His Majesty's back as he walked away and sighed. When he walked into the bedroom, he saw Sikong Yingxue shaking his head happily. Seeing Gou Delu coming, Sikong Yingxue hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked: "Grandpa Lu, thank you, I will definitely let my grandfather give you a lot of money."
Gou Delu said: "Your Majesty favors you, it is your luck. Your Majesty told me something before leaving."
"Eunuch Lu, what's the matter?"
Gou Delu's eyes turned and said, "Your Majesty said, please don't record what happened just now? But as the historian of the internal affairs of Your Majesty, I must record your words and deeds, otherwise? How can I give you a title? How can I make you a concubine? You know, there are too many people who want to be an emperor's concubine? I need help you." Sikong Yingxue nodded violently, but when he thought about other palace maids day and night thinking about being a concubine? He became worried.
Gou Delu asked with a smile: "Just? What happened?"
Sikong Yingxue told him what had just happened. Gou Delu immediately understood and he laughed. No wonder Your Majesty asked him to kill someone to silence him? It turned out that Your Majesty had such a secret disease. After thinking about it, Gou Delu said: "I don't believe your words. Turn around and I'll look at your hair." Sikong Yingxue was confused, but as a little girl, he still turned around obediently.
"Gaba!"
Gou Delu broke Sikong Yingxue's neck? She didn't even react and died. Gou Delu shook his hand in disgust? Sighed: "It's your fault, it's all your life? Child, be reincarnated as a child in the next life? Don't be a concubine daughter. A concubine daughter is not a human being? Not worthy of living? You don't have to thank me for helping you cross the Naihe Bridge."
After Emperor Dade went to the Imperial Hospital to meet Doctor Dong, he was not able to speak out why he came. He only said that his health had not recovered and asked Doctor Dong to have a good look for the disease.
Doctor Dong quickly took the pulse for Emperor Dade to treat the doctor, and then said: "Your Majesty, your liver fire has been strong recently and the yin and yang are inconsistent. You need to take medicine to adjust it. The old minister has a few medicines here to help Your Majesty warm the liver and reduce fire."
The Great De Emperor said: "You mean, do I have a too bad temper?"
Doctor Dong hurriedly said, "I dare not, I dare not."
The Great De Emperor frowned and said, "Doctor Dong, you don't have to do this. I killed them to establish authority, not murderers. You must know that during the year Zhang Xiaowu served as the central order, all officials saw hope in him. They surrendered to Zhang Xiaowu, but forgot their identity as their ministers. I killed the five families just to shock the officials and let them not sit on the wall and watch."
Doctor Dong whispered: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Hejian is leading the army, you are too hasty."
Emperor Dade was furious, but a smile appeared on his face and said, "I have to do this. If he leads the army back, how can I take power? Tell me, with his prestige, once someone is surrounded and calls me emperor, how many of the officials can support me? Therefore, I have to do this, and I have to do it." Doctor Dong smiled bitterly, and Emperor Dade then ordered: "Take me to see the family of the Marquis of Hejian."
"Hejianhou's family has only three people."
The Great De Emperor said: "The Marquis of Hejian was surrounded by three families. In the past year, he had only taken one concubine?"
Doctor Dong said: "That concubine is the brothel singer sent to him by Mudong Hou Lin Feng, a member of the Ministry of Revenue."
The Great De Emperor naturally knew that although he had pretended to be stupid this year, he had already taken everything about Zhang Xiaowu in his hands. Now he was just testing Doctor Dong.
Yuan Wanqiu, Yunyan and Mangzhongju sat down, Dade Emperor sat high above, and officials such as the Imperial Hospital stood aside. Everyone didn't know what expressions to do, whether to interrogate or inquire. It was the first time that Emperor Dade Emperor met Zhang Xiaowu's family. A beautiful and dignified girl in the middle should be the second wife, the daughter of Yuan Qi, the former commander of the Silver Guard. On the left, it should be Yunyan, the third wife of the brothel singer who was given to Zhang Xiaowu by Mu Donghou to flatter him. The fat girl on the right should be Zhang Xiaowu's sister. This fat girl stood up and was the most talkative person among the three.
"The civilian woman joins His Majesty." said the three.
Emperor Dade said, "Pretty, you are Zhang Linggong's family. Zhang Linggong has saved me and is my brother. I remember that I fought on the Star Picking Platform." He was filled with emotion, looking at the snowflakes floating outside, and recalled: "Last year is also this time, Dad, it's not right, it's colder than today, very cold, biting cold and creepy. At that time, I was still reviewing memorials in the palace, and watching the ministers from all over the country praise merits, and I was very happy.
Very. I am still imagining the power of the gentry and then consolidating the treasury and the Ministry of Revenue. These gentry are dissatisfied with me. I can understand that after all, I have always advocated weakening the power of the gentry, but they should not have joined forces with the Jiujiu to seek my rebellion and my country. This gentry is my country, and it is the country that I have been guarding since I was sensible. No one can share my country, and no one can."
