Chapter 514 Tonight, there is no sleep in the imperial capital.
He Zijin and his family didn't want to sleep anymore.
A-Nian didn't even eat dinner.
It was not because he was thinking about the Queen Mother Cao.
The Queen Mother Cao poisoned the Queen Mother and killed her.
A-Nian didn't care whether she lived or died.
What I am concerned about is how your Majesty is doing now Does your Majesty really know nothing about your mother doing such a thing?
Ah Nian wants to go out and find out.
The whole city is under martial law.
He Zijin advised him, "There is no rush.
At this moment, you sit down first.
It is only the royal family's own business at the moment.
No matter what, it can do anything to His Majesty."
In the current peaceful years, it is impossible to kill the emperor no matter what. .
Ah Nian had been wandering around the room for half the night.
Ah Ye went over and pushed his father into a chair and sat down.
He Zijin gave Ah Nian a cup of honey water to drink and said, "Add sugar to help your brain work faster."
Anian sighed, "I'm just afraid that I will fail the late emperor's trust."
Ah Ye's ears perked up, and He Zijin winked at him, thinking that Ah Nian was really in a state of confusion, otherwise, he would have to say this without paying attention.
Ah Ye kept his mouth shut and pretended not to hear, thinking that asking his father now would be better than asking his mother later.
He Zijin said, "You are really concerned about chaos.
Think about it, if this matter had anything to do with His Majesty, the news would have spread by now.
Furthermore, although Your Majesty is partial to his mother's clan, he is still surnamed Mu.
Also, at the beginning, You slapped Cao Bin hard in the face, and if His Majesty favors my grandfather, he will just dismiss you from office.
Your Majesty is not that kind of cruel person.
If the Queen Mother Cao can do such a thing, Your Majesty will never do it. " A-Nian sighed, "I just hope that Your Majesty will be weak all the way to the end."
If Your Majesty is really involved in this matter, it will be over.
Even if the Empress Dowager is a living Bodhisattva, she cannot tolerate an emperor who wants to poison her.
As the night progressed, He Zijin asked Aye to go back to his courtyard to rest.
Ah Ye returned to the room with a lantern.
Su Bing had already ordered the maid to prepare hot water and help him wash up.
After the two of them went to bed to rest, Ah Ping had already fallen asleep in the room.
Su Bing asked, "What's the matter?"
" Aye said, "I only know that the Queen Mother Cao poisoned the Queen Mother.
No matter how much more, I don't know.
Martial law is enforced outside, so the Cao family is finished."
Su Bingzong had already heard about the poisoning of the Queen Mother Cao, but now she heard her husband talk about it.
She still shuddered and whispered, "Tell me, is this person named Cao crazy?"
"If you weren't crazy, you wouldn't be able to do such a crazy thing."
Ah Ye lamented, "You're really crazy."
He said to his wife, "We'll see if the martial law is enforced tomorrow.
If it's not, go back and ask.
Let’s see what grandma said about the Queen Mother being safe.”
Su Bing agreed, and the two empresses agreed, "I just hope that the Empress Dowager will not be harmed by that poisonous woman."
What happened next was no secret to the Jiang family, because a chamberlain came over the next day.

The first order was to reinstate Jiang Hanlin to his post, and the second order was to let Jiang Hanlin enter the palace to discuss matters.
Ah Nian immediately changed his clothes, and Ah Ye said, "I'll take dad there."
He Zijin nodded, "That's fine."
He said to Ah Ye, "Go and change your clothes too."
After sending Ah Ye away, He Zijin went to the house and opened the box, opened the box and took out a red lacquer box. , open the box From the small copper lock outside, he took out the letter that the late emperor entrusted to A-Nian, handed it to A-Nian, and told him, "If you feel it's time, just give this letter to the Empress Dowager.
It's not in vain that the late emperor entrusted us with this letter."
"Back."
A Nian looked a little gloomy, "That's fine."
After Anian and Aye's father and son left, He Zijin went to Master Chaoyun.
He was afraid that Master Chaoyun would miss the Empress Dowager, so He Zijin said to Master Chaoyun, "Guan Anian has been reinstated.
Do you know that the Queen Mother The Queen Mother is fine."
Master Chaoyun looked relatively good and asked He Zijin, "You also went to the palace banquet yesterday.
Tell me what happened."
Luo Daru was listening on the sidelines.
He Zijin told the truth, and He Zijin said, "The people who were in the palace at that time were not the imperial guards.
Those people were wearing black armor, and you could tell at a glance that they were well-trained.
They were definitely not the kind of soldiers who showed off at that time.
I arrested several members of the Cao family."
Master Chaoyun sighed but said nothing.
He Zijin said, "In any case, as long as everything is fine, the Empress Dowager will be fine."
"Yes."
Taoist priest Chaoyun was not very interested and asked He Zijin to go home.
A Nian entered the palace very quickly and smoothly.
In Ci'en Palace, all the cabinet members were present.
In addition, there was King Zhao who came to prepare for the wedding of his daughter Jiachun Princess.
The remaining ones were Zhong Yushi, the censor of Zuodu. , Du Zhi, Qing of Dali Temple, and Anian.
When the Song Chief of Hanlin saw A Nian wearing a fourth-rank official uniform, he knew that he had been reinstated.
He gave him a slight nod, and A Nian went over and stood at the head of the Song Chief.
Song Zhangyuan whispered, "The Queen Mother ordered you to come."
A Nian nodded, and Master Song didn't say anything more.
Suddenly, headed by Princess Changtai, Princess Shouyang, Princess Shouwan, and Princess Yi'an all arrived.
The Empress Dowager held Empress Dowager Su's hand and came over last.
As soon as the two empresses arrived, everyone bowed down to greet them.
The Empress Dowager said, "Sit down flat."
The Empress Dowager's eyes wandered down for a moment and she said, "The cabinet is here, um, the Yushitai and Dali Temple are also here.
The vassal kings are all in the fiefdom, and King Zhao has made a coincidence, so you will listen on behalf of the vassal kings.
Let's hear it.
Princesses are also members of the royal family.
If Shouyi and Duanning are not here, there is nothing the emperor can do.
Since you are here, you will naturally have a place in our royal affairs, Aunt Wenkang.
Now that I am old, Sister Changtai will listen to me on behalf of Aunt Wenkang.
This is the first time in a thousand years that the Queen Mother poisoned the Queen Mother since the founding of Dongmu."
Then, she pointed at A Nian and said, "Give it to Jiang.
Hanlin put forward the case and prepared the four treasures of the study.
Jiang Hanlin once compiled the history book of the late emperor.

You can write down what happened today and explain it to future generations. " Ah Nian stood up.
Everyone looked bad.
Although the Cao family would not survive, the scandal of the Queen Mother poisoning the Queen Mother was a scandal among scandals no matter what dynasty or generation it happened.
Now everyone in Ci'en Palace will undoubtedly be recorded in the annals of history, especially the ministers.
Those who can come to Ci'en Palace are all important officials of the court.
When they reach such a status, what everyone wants is not just power and status.
The most important thing is reputation, reputation in history books.
Prime Minister Wei was the first assistant, so naturally he was the first to express his attitude.
His expression was extremely gloomy, and his straight body was slightly stooped today.
He stood up and said, "What Cao did is counterproductive and cannot be tolerated by nature.
However, I would like to invite you two After careful investigation, I found out that this matter has nothing to do with your Majesty.
It is true that your Majesty is biased against the mother-in-law, but it is also true that you are filial to the Empress Dowager."
Although Anian has always disliked Prime Minister Wei selfishly and thinks that Prime Minister Wei is too selfish, it has to be said that although Prime Minister Wei is selfish, he is also loyal.
The loyalty of this old chief minister is worthy of the trust entrusted by the late emperor.
At this moment, he is I am willing to stand up and say a word for the little emperor.
As early as when the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Su came over and did not see the young emperor who had just taken charge this year, A Nian had a bad premonition.
When Wei Xiang said this, Su Buyu immediately followed up and said, "The Cao family must be punished for their crimes.
I don't believe that your Majesty would do such a treasonous and unethical thing.
I ask the empress to investigate clearly."
Later, it was Ge Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who expressed his trust in His Majesty's character.
The fourth person, the academician of the Song Dynasty, said, "This matter must be clarified.
Everyone in the court knows that Cao is confused, but I did not expect that he would be so heartbroken and crazy.
Your Majesty, if your Majesty really has the intention of being unfilial, I will never We will not call Duke Jiang to bring the navy back to the court."
You must know that the person who controlled the palace yesterday was the Marquis Jiang who was loyal to the Empress Dowager.
Even though the Cao family was seeking death, Academician Song didn't have the slightest fondness for Marquis Jiang.
He secretly thought that the world was really going downhill, Si Chen, how could there be such a ruthless person?
After the ministers expressed their views on the matter, King Zhao suddenly said, "When the late emperor passed away, he entrusted the government and His Majesty to his mother.
In these years, the mother worked hard for the government and worried about the state affairs.
The mother and the emperor married.
The husband and wife raised the late emperor.
Now, such an old man is poisoned and killed by such an unfilial and poisonous woman on the day of her birthday banquet.
Have you ever asked your mother?
In peace, I will first excuse your majesty and forgive me for speaking frankly.
The pure will be pure and the turbid will be turbid.
Whether your majesty is innocent or not will be decided in the future.
If he is innocent, will the mother and you be wronged?
However, your majesty, foreign minister. , is the grandson of my mother.
My mother is heartbroken.
It is a hundred times more heartbreaking than yours.
Even I, the prince, are all saddened that such a tragedy happened to the royal family.
You are so cruel."
This is the first time that Anian has seen the abilities of the previous generation of vassal kings.
King Zhao ranks fifth among the generation of vassal kings with King Qin as his eldest brother.
He is only in his forties now, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes are extremely outstanding.
There seemed to be about thirty people.

As soon as Zhao Wangfu opened his mouth, he gave these important ministers a warning.
This kind of veteran vassal king is so sophisticated in his methods and eloquence.
An important minister like Su Buyu, who had a close friendship with the Empress Dowager, was obviously a little ashamed after hearing what King Zhao said.
Su Buyu said, "What Your Highness said is that when I first heard about this matter, I was completely helpless.
I just thought that it would be better for the Queen Mother to make the decision.
However, I failed to be more considerate of your current mood, and I was even more disappointed and sad than us." hundred times."
The remaining ministers also said, "The Empress Dowager, you should take care of your health.
In this situation, you have to make a decision."
The eldest princess Changtai even wiped away her tears and said, "We, the old Mu family, don't know what evil we did in our previous lives to bring about such an unvirtuous and unfilial evil woman."
The eldest princess of Shouyang also said, "When Cao's son killed his wife, I said that the Cao family's plan was not trivial.
You ministers were too lazy to explain it at that time.
What happens now?
Cao's son dared to kill her in the first place.
The descendant of the princess, now the daughter of the Cao family dares to poison the empress dowager.
Fortunately, the ancestors have protected her.
Otherwise, I am afraid that people named Cao will have to sit in the Zhaode Palace tomorrow."
The eldest princess Shouwan seemed to have completely forgotten about her marriage to the Cao family.
She gritted her teeth and said, "The Cao family poisoned my mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law.
Such a poisonous woman must not be allowed to stay."
The Queen Mother's calm face finally showed a trace of emotion.
She asked, "According to what Shouwan said, how should we deal with it?"
The eldest princess Shouwan stood up, her eyes were cold and deep, she said, "Even among the people, it is a death penalty for a daughter-in-law to murder her elders.
What's more, those below the Cao family who commit crimes are treasonous and immoral.
In my opinion, I should be punished with death."
The Queen Mother continued to ask, "Where is the Cao family?"
A drop of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the eldest princess Shouwan.
Her family was married to the Cao family.
At this moment, the eldest princess Shouwan could not care about the Cao family.
She just wished she could get rid of the Cao family immediately to prove her innocence.
Princess Shouwan said, "What the Cao family did must be related to the Cao family.
If it is found to be true, it will be a serious crime of treason."
The Empress Dowager looked at everyone in the palace and said, "How do you think the Cao family should be dealt with?"
It’s really hard for everyone to talk about this matter.
The eldest princess Shouwan has the status of a princess.
She is an old concubine of the royal family and the sister-in-law of the Queen Mother.
If there is such a thing, she can speak freely.
However, courtiers must be cautious.
It was the first assistant who spoke first, and Wei Xiang said, "Cao's poisonous woman has insulted the late emperor, and even more humiliated this emperor.
No matter how she is dealt with, she can't deal with it too much.
However, I think that killing her at this time will not be in the way of her clearing her name." , It would be better to be imprisoned in the cold palace and never be able to escape."
If the Empress Dowager agrees to save Cao's life, it will show that the Empress Dowager still has a trace of affection for His Majesty.
Once the Empress Dowager kills the Cao family, she is His Majesty's biological mother after all.
It can be seen that the Empress Dowager's affection for His Majesty will end there.
Wei Xiang's thoughts are no secret to this palace full of people.
At this moment, no one said anything, including King Zhao.

No one dares to speculate on the Empress Dowager's thoughts at this time.
If the Empress Dowager wants to fall out with her, there will be no loss for everyone.
On the contrary, if the Empress Dowager is still willing to give Jinshang a chance, then this also means that Jinshang has a chance to regain power.
So, it is not an exaggeration to say that the person who recommended the death of my biological mother in this palace today, even if the Cao family did this, was executed by Ling Chi, but who knows what I will think?
The Empress Dowager said, "When I was young, I was naive and always believed that good causes must lead to good consequences.
Now it seems that this is not the case."
"How much do you know about royal affairs?"
the Empress Dowager sighed.
"In the seventh year of Zhaoming, Cao and Qi joined the imperial family to serve the late emperor.
In the autumn of that year, they were pregnant one after another.
Emperor Renzong and I were very happy. , just thinking that the late emperor had no children after his wedding, and now the two concubines are pregnant, and they are also the late emperor's.
Happy event.
At that time, I asked Dou Yuan of the Taiyuan Hospital, and Dou Yuanzhang said that the birth date of the two of them was around May.
Later, Mrs.
Cao gave birth to her eldest son in mid-April, which was the Dragon Boat Festival.
The next son will be the current Second Highness."
He looked at the Queen Mother Su and asked, "Does the Queen Mother still remember what happened back then?"
Empress Dowager Su said, "My daughter-in-law remembers that she heard the report from the palace people that the Cao family had launched an attack.
Her daughter-in-law was worried, so she specially stayed in the Cao family's palace.
After she gave birth, she went to Fengyi Palace to announce the good news to her mother in person.
The mother also I asked my daughter-in-law why she gave birth early in May.
She thought that it might be related to her physical condition because she was weak.
"No, that's because of the fertility drugs Cao took at that time."
As soon as the Empress Dowager said these words, even King Zhao looked shocked, let alone others.
The Empress Dowager said, "People say that May is an evil month, and the birth of a child is not good for the parents.
Furthermore, the Cao family and the Qi family were pregnant at the same time.
Whoever gives birth first is likely to give birth to the late emperor's eldest son.
At that time, I saw It was difficult for her to give birth to a child.
Emperor Renzong and the late emperor And because the baby was so happy, I had doubts about her premature birth but didn't say much.
Later, although the matter was found out, at that time, the three baptismal rites had passed and the full moon was about to be prepared.
Sorry, I hesitated for a long time, I couldn’t bear this child The son was born into a dishonorable mother, but she finally kept it a secret.
It seems that because of my kindness back then, I was punished by being poisoned today."
After saying that, he ordered someone to take out the envoy from the Taiyuan Hospital.
A special secret file, circulated to everyone to see, passed to When A Nian came here, A Nian's hands could not help but tremble.
His eyes fell on the secret file.
There were the signature and seal of the envoy of Taiyuan Hospital, as well as the phoenix seal stamped on it, proving that this matter was The queen at that time and now the empress dowager knew it.
The Empress Dowager has dug out all these old scores, and the Cao family will definitely not survive.
At this time, no one interceded for Cao anymore.
Once the Cao family died, the next thing we had to face was His Majesty's affairs.
Did His Majesty know anything about the Cao family's affairs?
The Empress Dowager said, "Your Majesty is not in good health.
We should wait until the vassal kings come to court to discuss this matter later."
Then she stood up and left.
King Zhao quickly followed, supported the Queen Mother, and followed the Queen Mother all the way.
A Nian was still hesitating whether to hand over the late Emperor's letter to the Empress Dowager.

Seeing King Zhao being so attentive, A Nian suddenly realized that at this moment, His Majesty had no choice but to make the decision.
However, the late Emperor is not just your Majesty's son!
A Nian immediately made a decision, copied today's records and chased after him, shouting urgently, "My Lady, I have already written down what I have recorded today, please read it."
The Empress Dowager stopped, but never looked back, sighing, "No need, I can trust Jiang Hanlin."
Anian said, "Mother, I have something to do and I want to report it alone."
The Empress Dowager said, "Wu Lang, please go first, and come to the palace tomorrow to talk to me.
The late Emperor left early, and you are the only ones who are my backbone."
King Zhao blamed himself, "My sons are far away in the fiefdom, and I don't know the affairs of the imperial capital.
If I knew that my mother was being neglected, my sons and brothers would have come to the imperial capital to ask for an explanation for my mother.
It was all due to the negligence of my sons and ministers.
Suffer this.”
The Queen Mother patted King Zhao's hand, and King Zhao glanced at A-Nian with his beautiful peach blossom eyes, bowed to the Queen Mother, and then left the palace.
A Nian followed the Empress Dowager to the side hall to talk.
A Nian made up his mind and asked the Empress Dowager to send away the irrelevant palace attendants.
Anian Fang said in a deep voice, "Back then, when the late emperor summoned his ministers back to the imperial capital, he gave them instructions.
If there is a matter of turmoil in the throne, I will ask my ministers to hand over the matter to the Empress Dowager."
After finishing speaking, A-Nian stepped forward and presented the secret letter that he had treasured for four years with both hands.
