Chapter 531 Torture
Yin Zheng.
The middle door of Jiuhua Palace is wide open, and the Queen Mother is wearing plain clothes and sitting on the phoenix couch in Shouxuan Palace.
He received the courtesy of Emperor Long'an, the kings of the clan, the distinguished nobles, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
Although she had a tense face and looked at Emperor Long'an as if she were an enemy, as long as she showed her face and performed the funeral ceremony of Emperor Daxing, the rest would not matter.
Looking at Emperor Long'an who was saluting solemnly, Queen Mother Tian was filled with anger and a little bit of fear.
She really didn't expect that Emperor Long'an, who had been respectful to him all her life, would suddenly become like this.
She originally thought that even if the Supreme Emperor passed away, Emperor Long'an would still be as pure, filial, respectful and obedient to his will as before.
Her eyes swept over the kneeling kings one by one. Among the kings of the clan, the princes of the Supreme Emperor were in the front row. However, at this time, there were missing Li Ji, Prince of Duanzhong County, and Li Han, Prince of Yiping County.
Li Xiang, Prince of Yixiang County, who had an astonishing reputation when he won the throne, is now kneeling before His Highness. He is not as powerful as he was back then.
The other disciples were like quails, not daring to speak out.
Among the emperors and grandsons, Li Jing, the king of Baojun, is the first, followed by Li Xi, the king of Ningjun.
Seeing Li Xi, the Empress Dowager's eyes brightened slightly, and then returned to normal.
Huh?
That little beast Li Xuan is not here?
Look again, among the distinguished ministers, Jia Qiang is not there either.
Queen Mother Tian felt really chill in her heart, and she was worried about the safety of her younger brother Tian Fu.
Just now, Jia Qiang and Li Xuan made it clear that Tian Fu was ill, and they were ordered by the emperor to visit their uncle's house.
These two little beasts dare to be so rampant in Jiuhua Palace, let alone outside?
If she had followed her past temper, the Queen Mother would have started to make trouble by now.
But looking at the expressionless Emperor Long'an in the palace, she really didn't dare to make trouble at the moment.
She herself had nothing to fear. No matter what, she was Emperor Long'an's biological mother. How dare he kill his mother?
But she was worried about her little son and little brother.
Jia Qiang said that after Emperor Daxing enters Jingling today, he will drag Prince Yiping to see her.
If I see you today, that's it.
If she couldn't see him, she would definitely cause an uproar. She wanted to see if the traitor dared to kill his mother!
…
Shenjing Xicheng, Guhua Street.
Uncle Guo's Mansion.
Uncle Tian Fu and his son Tian Hui looked at Li Xuan and Jia Qiang who led the troops in with shock, anger and fear. Tian Fu said angrily: "Xiao Wu'er, what are you doing?"
Tian Hui was filled with hatred for Jia Qiang, who beat him half to death last time and whose injuries have not healed yet. He gritted his teeth and said: "Jia Qiang, how dare you come to our Tian family? Who do you think you are? Just wait, I will be with you later."
Dad will go into the palace and see my aunt, the Queen Mother, and I will punish you for a serious crime!"
After the Queen Mother took the initiative and allowed Tian Fu to get back one million taels of silver from the Song family, Tian Hui felt that he could walk smoothly in the whole world from now on.
I even think that it would be a good death for the Supreme Emperor!
Because such a thing would never happen when the Supreme Emperor was alive.
Although the Queen Mother was noble at that time, she could not interfere with the court officials.
But it is different now. Song Zhou is the minister of Dali Temple, so what if he is a high-ranking official in purple clothes?
So what if the military ministers at the Military Aircraft Department and the civil servants of the dynasty yelled at each other?
Everyone has to hold their noses to recognize the Queen Mother's decree.
Tian Hui felt that as long as the Queen Mother could live a long life, the Tian family would be happier and richer than the Tian family!
Qian'er's mother had just entered the palace, saying that Master Tian was worried about the future of the Tian family, and was instigating the Queen Mother to take advantage of the Emperor's funeral in Jingling Mausoleum to get a hereditary title for the Tian family...
Tian Hui felt that this matter was a sure thing.
Unexpectedly, the edict of knighthood did not come, but these two things came.
Jia Qiang and Li Xuan looked at each other and said, "Come here. I was the one who came to Jiuhua Palace just now."
Li Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth, muttered something complaining, and then looked at the Tian family and his father impatiently, and declared: "My uncle's wife, Mrs. Li, does not follow the rules of women, is stupid and rebellious, instigates and bewitches the Queen Mother, and violates the precept of speaking.
You must not let him go unpunished. Today's punishment of Mr. Li is a reminder to my uncle. Even if the prince breaks the law, he is also guilty of the same crime as the common people. If you continue to act out of wishful thinking and instigation, I will not tolerate you, but the national law will not tolerate it!"
After announcing the announcement, he asked: "Uncle Guo, where is Mr. Li?"
Tian Fu's face turned pale, and he stuttered and asked: "Xiao Wu, you... what are you asking your aunt and grandma for?"
Aunt and grandma?
Li Xuan felt bored to death. When he saw Jia Qiang looking strange, he decided that he must be snickering. He became angrier and shouted: "Master Tian, I am punishing you by heaven, so there is no room for you to ask questions."
?I would like to ask again, where is the Li family?"
Tian Fu carefully looked at the group of dragon guards behind Li Xuan, and then he was sure that something was really going to happen.
However, the only good thing is that it hasn't happened to him yet.
Tian Fu repeatedly sent the housekeeper to invite Mrs. Li. Soon, Mrs. Li's eyes were panicked, but she pretended to be calm and said: "What do you mean? I just entered the palace to see the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother
Your Majesty is the eldest aunt of my Tian family. Does she know what happened today? Don’t hide it from her and bully our Tian family. I will go to the palace right now and go to the Queen Mother to complain! If someone comes, don’t prepare it for grandma.
car!"
As he said this, he actually wanted to take a detour and sneak away.
Li Xuansheng laughed angrily and raised his chin with Captain Long behind him.
Two dragon guards came forward, and the one in charge was holding a pair of bright scissors...
…
Not far from Uncle Guo's Mansion, inside Mingyue Tea House.
Jia Qiang's face turned pale as she looked at Li Xuan, who was even paler across the street, and said with admiration: "Your Majesty, you are so secretive! You can do such a thing, I admire you! I really admire you!"
Just now, he and Li Xuan took the imperial officer Da Neilong and went straight to the uncle's house. In front of Tian Fu and his son Tian Hui, they had the tongue of his offending wife Li's wife cut off with scissors.
Tian Fu was pretending to be sick, but when he saw this scene, he fainted from fear and became really sick.
It was also the first time for Jia Qiang to see a scene of torture, and she was extremely shaken, especially the scene where Tian Fu's wife, Mrs. Li, was screaming on the ground with blood all over her face and could not even scream. It was really horrifying.
Li Xuan is not much better than him, his face looks pale.
After the two of them left the uncle's house, they went to a teahouse on the roadside to drink some tea to calm down their shock.
After hearing Jia Qiang's words, Li Xuan was not willing to admit defeat. He sneered and said, "I am just following my father's orders to punish a foolish woman for talking nonsense. What's the point? Think about what you said to the Queen Mother before.
If word gets out, how many heads in your Jia family can you chop off?"
Jia Qiang chuckled and said with a smile: "Who said that? There are only three people in the palace. If the Queen Mother had an attack on the spot, she could kill me. But after that incident, she missed the opportunity and will not make any more announcements.
, Otherwise, where is the prestige of the Queen Mother? Where is the dignity? Therefore, only you can pass it on. When the time comes, the first person the Emperor will not let go of is you!"
"..."
After Li Xuan glared at Jia Qiang for a moment, he said sympathetically: "Even so, there is no airtight wall in the world. The royal family and court officials all know the Queen Mother's previous attitude. Everyone also knows why they called you here.
If you do something like this, you will be miserable in the future! Jia Qiang, you may really have to be a fifth-grade military commander for the rest of your life."
Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Just treat it as a lifetime, the more leisurely the better, what's the big deal. It would be better to have more time. Even if the national mourning ends tomorrow, the Taiping Guild Hall will open again. Tsk, It wasn’t easy, but I finally got through it.”
Li Xuan asked curiously: "Isn't there another funeral at your house?"
Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "That's irrelevant, he's a cousin from another house. I'm still trying to ban meat and fish for him... But the old man who makes alchemy at home is probably not far away... Well, this February is probably about eating. No more meat."
When Li Xuan heard this, he immediately became happy and said: "What are you afraid of? Drink soup! Didn't my grandmother send someone to bring soup to you? Gah, gah, gah! It's really funny! But Jia Qiang, it's just a joke, if you live up to the bully in the future Cousin Ziyu, you are really worse than a beast. I don’t know what’s good about you, but you just caught my grandmother’s eye. She must be confused, why do you treat you so well?”
Jia Qiang chuckled and asked: "I have an errand to guard the five cities. Why don't you go and see the Emperor off?"
Li Xuan curled his lips and said: "I want to stay in the palace to serve the Queen Mother and Queen Mother. I also have to take care of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and put away all the white silk and satin displayed in the national funeral for next time... Bah. Bah! It’s best not to use this crow’s mouth for the rest of your life!”
Seeing Li Xuan lightly smacking his mouth, Jia Qiang laughed.
After Li Xuan took a sip of tea, he said: "Let's go back to the palace and return to our mother. Alas, life will not be easy in the future. Have you heard that the Zhao family is finished this time."
Jia Qiang said curiously: "I haven't heard of it. Didn't it mean that the Song family was beaten back and forth? That old boy Song Zhou, I'm still waiting for him to finish his stubbornness."
Li Xuan chuckled and said with a smile: "Your father-in-law of the Lin family didn't even tell you this? It seems that you are not reliable. Come on, if your father-in-law and I don't tell you, I will tell you... Ouch!"
Li Xuan was not annoyed when Jia Qiang smashed the lid of the tea cup, but he was still happy and said: "Originally, the Song family couldn't greet them anymore, but unexpectedly, Zhang Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, suddenly jumped out and greeted him. The Zhao family is ruthless! After it was revealed that the Zhao family had betrayed their official positions over the years, and even interfered in the imperial examinations, they had no way out. Now the embroidered guards have surrounded the Zhao family, waiting for it to happen tomorrow. The Zhao family, Tsk, tsk, a clan of extremely rich people!”
Jia Qiang sighed and said: "There is no use for a wealthy family! I heard from my husband that droughts are severe in Shandong and Gansu, and the two river basins are afraid of major floods this year. This is copied from I don’t dare to touch a penny of my money, I’m just waiting to help the victims.”
Li Xuan smacked his lips and said, "Why do you care so much? It has nothing to do with us two youngest. By the way, my fourth brother has already agreed with his father that he will be transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Household Affairs to oversee government affairs. The third brother is in the Ministry of Industry and the fourth brother is in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Let them worry about these troubles. Come on, let's go back to the palace first to see how the funeral is going. We also have to restore the mother's life! Hey, from the Tian family The good days are finally over!"
Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw a palace man coming from the corner of the stairs. Li Xuan was startled and hurriedly said to Jia Qiang: "It's bad. The queen mother must have been waiting so long that she sent Mudi out to look for us." Come on, let’s go, let’s go!”
Jia Qiang was also startled when she heard this, and asked quickly: "How do you know that something big happened in the palace? Could it be that something went wrong with the Queen Mother?"
Li Xuan stood up and complained: "You are stupid. If it is the Queen Mother, there is a problem. It is the father who sent people to get us!"
After saying that, Li Xuan stepped forward with a smile and threatened Eunuch Mu Di, the eunuch in charge of Fengzao Palace:
"You met us at the gate of Uncle Guo's Mansion, do you understand?"
"If you dare to betray us, hey hey!"
