Chapter 37 The Past of the Death of King Yong

She didn't give up and set foot on Beishan Mountain. That area had almost turned into scorched earth.

Some tree trunks that were lucky enough not to be completely burned were lying on the ground, with black smoke still rising faintly.

It seems that one can still imagine the ferocity of the tongues of fire, wrapped in thick smoke and scorching heat, raging and screaming, trying to take away all life.

Without the fire that started from behind, King Yong would not have died.

Whether it was her or the men sent by the late emperor, several investigations revealed that it was a natural disaster caused by lightning strikes, not a man-made disaster.

Now Ruzhu's words have cast the veil of conspiracy on the fire that was deemed a natural disaster.

Queen Mother Xie's whole body became limp, and she no longer had half of her dignity and grace.

Cui Canwen's face was also tense. At this point, Ruzhu really had no need to lie.

Ruzhu was once the most trusted person in Jiao Ya, and if he could declare it at this juncture, even if there was no evidence, there must be traces to follow.

"Why do you make such a guess?" Cui Canwen frowned, her face was cold, and she was worried.

On a spring outing, apricot blossoms are blowing all over your head. Which family on the street is young and romantic?

That young man who was known as a man of extraordinary beauty and arrogant pen, has not yet finished his youth, but the world is filled with desolation, which is hard not to make people sigh.

Ruzhu raised his eyes and stared at Cui Canwen hesitantly.

"Is it related to me?"

The look in her eyes that wanted to say something but still gave up made her think more.

Ruzhu's eyes flashed, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the Shangyuan Palace banquet when you were seventeen?"

"After three rounds of drinking, amid the hustle and bustle of singing and dancing, Jiao Chongyi left the palace and met you in the garden. He once said that he would give you a big gift, and he also said with a smile that if you are rich in the future, don't forget the small affection."

Hearing this, Queen Mother Xie used all her strength to control herself from turning around and glaring at Liang Shaoyuan.

Liang Shaoyuan felt bitter in his heart, he really didn't know about this.

He had indeed looked sideways at the young and beautiful Jiao Chongyi who was sniffing the petals under the peach blossom tree, but it was more eye-catching than the burning peach blossoms.

But it was just a sideways glance and a palpitating heart.

Before the late emperor became seriously ill, he had a thief heart but no courage.

Ruzhu, a dog slave, if he wants to die, he will die neatly. Why is he involved in so many old things?

There are so many things that can be said, but only this one?

"Is there a possibility that His Majesty is also innocent..."

Liang Shaoyuan secretly looked at Queen Mother Xie and Cui Canwen successively, and explained dryly.

Ruzhu, who did not know the inside story, nodded, "Jiao Chongyi did not inform His Majesty of the specific situation at that time."

"But not long after the Shangyuan Palace Banquet, the Eastern Turks who had surrendered to Dayong were divided again. The Turkic Khan's uncle openly rebelled against the royal court. It was difficult for the Turkic Khan to support him in writing a letter asking the late emperor to help him put down the rebellion."

"His Royal Highness King Yong received the order to go out to quell the rebellion."

"I really have no evidence to prove that everything was done by Empress Jiao, but Empress Jiao is definitely not innocent."

Following Ruzhu's statement, Cui Canwen's thoughts were also brought back to that time.

As Ruzhu said, just after the Shangyuan Palace banquet, the third uncle of the Eastern Turk Khan rebelled, and at the end of March, King Yong sent troops.

Later, a mob suddenly broke out in Liangzhou City, and the Western Turks were unwilling to be left alone and secretly stepped in.

For a time, King Yong was under attack from both sides.

But even so, King Yong still put down the rebellion of the Eastern Turks. Seeing this, the Western Turks secretly withdrew their feet that just wanted to take advantage of the situation.

The remaining rebels of the Eastern Turks attempted to flee to Liangzhou to join forces with the mob, but encountered King Yong who was returning with his army from Beishan outside Liangzhou City.

Thunder and fire fell from the sky, and the pastures and vegetation in Beishan burned instantly.

No one expected the sudden wildfire.

If it were just a fire, His Highness King Yong would not be unable to escape.

Did the mountain road collapse before or after the lightning strike?

Have the Western Turks really returned to their old home?

After all, the fire in Beishan burned too much, and the subsequent heavy rain washed away too many marks.

When she arrived in Liangzhou, everything was gone.

Cui Canwen sighed quietly, her nose felt sore, and she felt an indescribable feeling.

"Queen mother, why not save Ruzhu's life first?"

Cui Canwen closed her eyes and regained her mood. When she opened her eyes again, it was clear and clear.

In any case, Ruzhu has been serving Jiao Ya personally for so long, so maybe some doubts have been ignored for the time being.

Queen Mother Xie was noncommittal and her eyes were unfocused.

She still remembered that before her son Sheng'er left, he happily told her and the late emperor that he would ask the late emperor to marry him when he returned to the court.

He wants to know that the matchmaker is getting married, visit the ancestral temple, meet with hundreds of officials, and marry the person he likes.

She is happy to see this matter come to fruition.

After Sheng'er left Beijing, she began to prepare for her wedding.

It's a pity that Sheng'er stayed outside Liangzhou City. Maybe he looked at Chang'an from afar before being burned by the fire, thinking of the girl from the Cui family who he wasted several years and didn't have the courage to marry.

Maybe, Sheng'er will also be happy.

Fortunately, he didn't have time to bring misfortune to the Cui family girl.

Later, the late emperor indeed granted a marriage, and the girl from the Cui family was a well-deserved crown princess, but the crown prince was not Sheng'er either.

"This matter will be decided by the Emperor and the Queen for the time being."

"Xiangjia."

Xiangjia came over quickly, helped Empress Dowager Xie, who was shaking uncontrollably, and walked to her bedroom.

Xiangjia knew that the Empress Dowager could no longer hold on.

Cui Canwen moved her steps and subconsciously wanted to follow, but was held back by Liang Shaoyuan.

Liang Shaoyuan was also very flustered...

If Empress Dowager Xie believes that he is inseparable from the death of the second emperor brother and is bent on revenge, then he will definitely not be able to secure the throne.

Therefore, Liang Shaoyuan couldn't wait to prove his innocence.

"It's really not me."

Liang Shaoyuan asked Ruzhu to continue to be imprisoned in the Queen Mother's Palace, and then pulled Cui Canwen's sleeve and spoke quickly.

The conscience of heaven and earth, before he was established as the prince, he really had no ambition.

When the news came that the second emperor brother had died in battle, he only knew that a pie in the sky was going to fall on his head.

"If I remember correctly, the guard general of Liangzhou City back then was Chen Jian's third uncle."

Many seemingly unrelated messages were connected together at this moment.

Liang Shaoyuan's hand froze. Chen Jian was also his reading companion.

Back then, he had a total of four reading companions, but Cheng Qi was the only one who accompanied him all the way until now.

"Chen Jian said he wanted to go back to prepare for the scientific examination, so I allowed him to go home."

"Scientific examination?" Cui Canwen sneered.

"It has been six years since Chen Jian left the palace. What honors has he obtained?"

"Now that you are joining the court as an official, aren't you using the only quota in the Chen family that is exempt from the scientific examination?"

"You are a person with vested interests. You say you don't know anything. Do you believe it?"

Cui Canwen was so angry that she laughed instead.

A young man in bright clothes and an angry horse can fight with his body wrapped in horse leather and not return, but he must not die because of conspiracy or collusion with power.

It should have been Liang Shengyi who ruled the world.

His Royal Highness Liang Shengyi, who was both civil and military, capable of opening up new territories and expanding territory, and capable of literary and benevolent governance.
