Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 1 Wedges
In the winter of 278 in Southern Qin Dynasty, the fourth prince Qin Yu set fire to the palace after drinking, almost causing the palace to collapse.

The emperor was furious, and all the officials were shocked.

The Overwatch Council played, Yu Shitai impeached, led by Zuo Xiang Lu Yong, and asked the emperor to severely punish the fourth prince Qin Yu.

Lu Yongyan said: "The fourth prince, as the empress's son-in-law, does not know how to check his morals. He has lost his virtue. He is in vain teaching the emperor and the empress loves him. Today he loses his morals after drinking and dares to set fire to the palace. Sheji. The royal family has this son, and the ancestors and clans will be ashamed. If they are not severely punished, the clan sons will fight to follow suit, and in the future, they will create a bigger disaster, and the disaster will be passed down for generations. It will be too late to regret.”

The sonorous words, the verbal criticism and the pen criticism, make people unable to argue.

The emperor's face was livid, and he crushed a piece of the armrest of the golden chair with his bare hands.

Just as Prime Minister Right was about to speak, he suddenly noticed the emperor's bleeding hand, his body trembled slightly, and he took a step back.

The court's remarks became overwhelming for a while, and no one dared to step forward to intercede for the fourth prince.

The movement of the court soon spread to the harem. The queen sitting in Fengluan Palace turned pale, and the hand holding the teacup couldn't help but she crushed the teacup, and her slender fingers were cut. Blood flowed.

The maids who were waiting were all terrified, and the female officer hurried forward to stop the queen's bleeding.

The queen threw the teacup away, pushed the female officer away, stood up abruptly, gritted her teeth and said angrily, "They are trying to force Qin Yu to death!" After saying that, she took a deep breath, and ordered coldly, "Show me ! Go to the Golden Palace!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people serving in Fengluan Palace turned pale.

The female officer reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to engage in politics in the harem. If you break into the court like this, then you can..."

"Even if the empress of this palace is abolished, and the two sluts of Ren Yicui Palace and Yufu Palace succeed, they can't just let them kill my son." Although the queen's voice trembled, she was determined to break the boat, "Qin Yu is My only son!"

The female officer stopped immediately.

The queen flicked her sleeves and stepped out of Fengluan Palace.

In the court hall, it was condensed, and all the officials were waiting for how the emperor would punish the fourth prince.

Although the decree has not yet been issued, many people know that the punishment will not be light, and the fourth prince will be skinned even if he is not dead.

"The emperor please issue an order to punish the four princes as soon as possible, so as to imitate others!" Zuo Xiang saw the emperor for a long time without making a judgment, and invited again.

"Lu Yong, what are you in a hurry for? The fourth prince is guilty, but in the past he also made great contributions to saving him, and he has never done anything out of the ordinary. Yesterday, he was drunk and burned the palace for a reason. Today, the fourth prince is still drunk, so he did it without letting him justify himself. Is it too urgent to deal with it?" Prime Minister Right finally spoke.

"The emperor and several adults in the supervisor of ceremonies witnessed it with their own eyes. The person who set the fire was the fourth prince himself. Could it be false? Are you saying that the eyes of the emperor and all the adults are blurred? Did you see the wrong person? Drunk people, drunk people After losing his morality, how can he know what he did when he sobered up? Even if he defends himself, he can't escape the fact that he set the fire." Zuo Xiang made a statement filled with righteous indignation.

Prime Minister Right frowned, just about to refute.

The emperor suddenly slapped the armrest of the golden chair, and said angrily, "Don't even talk about it! The fourth prince's virtue is in vain, and it was in vain that I brought him by my side to teach him in the past. From today onwards, the fourth prince will be demoted as a commoner and exiled to Mobei. Step into the capital."

"Long live my emperor!"

The left prime minister led the ministers bowed their heads and knelt down and shouted.

Prime Minister Right closed his eyes, a hint of helplessness appeared faintly under his old face.

Once the imperial decree is issued, there is no room for maneuver. Everyone knows that the fourth prince's life is over!
Who are the common people?

That is the lowest level of peddlers.

Where is Mobei?
It was a place two thousand miles away from the capital, a place full of wild, bitter cold, insects and beasts.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Empress, please go to the palace!" A servant shouted.

The officials were startled, and they all raised their heads.

"What is she here for? Let her go back!" The emperor froze and waved his sleeves angrily.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines are here to ask for an order!" Before the servants could stop her, the queen in a bright red formal attire rushed into the hall.

"Nonsense!" Seeing the queen rushing in regardless of the obstruction, the emperor scolded angrily.

The officials held their breath, and no one spoke, not even the upright officials stood up to blame the queen at this time.

The empress glanced at the ministers with a cold expression, turned her eyes from the right minister to the left minister, paused for a moment, knelt upright in the hall, and said in a clear voice, "The concubine has no way to teach his son, so that it will lead to a Big mistake, this concubine begs the emperor to grant this concubine to death!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was shocked.

The emperor's face changed suddenly, he stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "You are the biological mother of the fourth prince, and I am his biological father. If you go to the palace like this and ask me to kill you, do you also want me to commit suicide? square!"

"Your Majesty must not do this! Your Majesty, calm down!" All the ministers were shocked and panicked.

The queen's eyes immediately became wet when she heard the words, and she said loudly, "No one is perfect, who is not wrong? It's just that Prime Minister Zuo used to have his own son beat someone to death. At that time, it was just dealt with lightly! This palace is full of civil and military officials. Who can guarantee that their son has never done anything wrong since he was a child? Although my son got drunk and burned the palace, no one was injured or injured. The emperor will punish him severely. I admit it, I can only blame him for being young and self-willed, drinking too much wine and losing his composure. But why are you exiled to the desolate and cold place in Mobei? How is this different from killing him? Your majesty, this is the only son of my concubine! "

"Qin Yu is my son and your son, how can he be the same as the children of ordinary people? Can other people's children make mistakes? If my son makes mistakes, he will punish his heart, punish my heart, punish the hearts of our ancestors!" The emperor's face was majestic and his voice was harsh, "I've opened my golden mouth, how can I change it? I'm thinking of it for your beloved son today, and I won't pick up your crime of trespassing on the golden palace. Go down!"

"Your Majesty!" The queen's face turned gray.

"Come here, help the queen back to the palace!" The emperor didn't allow the queen to say anything, and waved to the left and right.

Immediately, a servant came to the queen and wanted to help her down.

The queen stood up abruptly, stretched out her hand to pull out the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, aimed it at her own neck, and looked at the emperor with awe and despair, "If the emperor does not take back the holy order today, the concubine will die in this golden palace! It is a dead end for my concubine's son to go to Mobei, lest a white-haired person send a black-haired person, the concubine might as well die first and apologize!"

"You..." The emperor's face suddenly turned purple.

The servant took two steps back in fear.

The atmosphere in the hall was instantly stalemate.

"Your Majesty, I think that the four princes will be demoted to common people and exiled to Mobei to be severely punished. Although it can be used as an example, the punishment is very severe. I am afraid that the other princes and clan sons will restrain their temperaments from now on, and they will not dare to go out of their way. After a long time, I am afraid that everyone has become a puppet under the ethics, and there will be no new talents in the Southern Qin Dynasty, and the descendants of the country may be in danger." The right minister bowed and came out.
