A week has passed, and the situation in the court is still calm. This is something that many people did not expect.
It has been more than a week since Kou Zhun returned to Beijing. Why is there no movement from northern officials?
Just when everyone thought Kou Zhun was dead, Taiwan's admonisher Cai Qi fired the first shot!
[Under the ancestral system, relatives of the emperor are not allowed to lead military affairs. (Liu) Mei is the eldest brother of the Queen Mother, so military affairs are not allowed]
Cai Qi was so bold that he directly targeted his ex-husband Liu Mei.
This letter can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone!
Any official who knows the inside story doesn't know about the relationship between the Queen Mother and Liu Mei?
Likewise, they all know the system of their ancestors.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in view of the chaos of foreign relatives interfering in politics during the Han and Tang Dynasties, Taizu and Taizong successively improved the regulations to restrict foreign relatives.
Waiqi, also known as Qili, Guoqi, "Liang Chaoshengzheng" says that in law, those who are called Qili refer to the home of three queens and four concubines.
(PS: The three empresses and four concubines are the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress, the noble concubine, the virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine.
The harem of the Song Dynasty was divided into seven levels, of which the queen was the first generation, and the second level was the wife. There were four people in total, namely, the noble concubine, the Shu concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the Xian concubine. The grades were the first grade.)
The dynasty stipulates that foreign relatives are not allowed to hold literary positions and can only hold the false title of senior military ministers and are not allowed to hold official positions. Secondly, foreign relatives are not allowed to serve as attendants or prime ministers.
Finally, relatives are not allowed to hold military power.
The Palace Front Division, the Imperial Guard Infantry Division and the Imperial Guard Cavalry Division are the three offices of the Forbidden Army and are the highest command organization of the Central Forbidden Army.
Although Liu Mei is now only the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Ma Army, there is a sentence in the edict appointing him, which states that he has the right to lead the Ma Army as the verger.
In other words, he is the actual controller of Ma Junsi.
Cai Qi's shot was too hard, using the ancestral method as an excuse, and directly hit Liu E's vitals.
Although the late emperor was still in power when Liu Mei was appointed, and the late emperor was also an insider.
But rules are rules!
Liu Mansion.
When Liu Mei learned that Cai Qi had directly pointed the finger at him, she immediately screamed angrily. With nowhere to vent, he could only vent his anger on the porcelain bottle at home.
Snapped!
A piece of fine Ru kiln porcelain was just thrown to the ground by him, and then cut into pieces.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
There was a constant sound of breaking porcelain in the hall. The more Liu Mei thought about it, the angrier she became. Her chest felt extremely tight.
puff!
The next second, a mouthful of old blood spurted out from Liu Mei's chest, and then Liu Mei's eyesight went black and she fainted completely.
"master!"
The servants on the side looked horrified when they saw this scene.
"Someone come quickly!"
"The master vomited blood and fainted!"
Not long after, the hall was suddenly surrounded, and the servants, Liu Mei's son, daughter-in-law, etc. were all in a mess.
Liu Mei is their god.
Now, the sky is falling!
Liu Congde, Liu Mei's son, tremblingly put his hand in front of Liu Mei's breath. When he realized that his father had stopped breathing, Liu Congde's face instantly turned pale.
"Daddy!"
Immediately afterwards, he threw himself on Liu Mei's body and cried loudly.
"Big brother?"
Seeing that Liu Congde was just holding his father and crying there, the second son Liu Congguang also panicked and hurriedly took a few steps forward.
However, as soon as he walked halfway, he stopped.
He guessed something, but he didn't dare step forward to confirm.
"Dad, I'm going."
After a while, Liu Congde wiped away his tears and cried sadly.
thump!
Immediately, everyone in the hall fell to their knees one after another like dumplings.
In an instant, sobs broke out from everywhere.
"Cai Qi!"
In front of Liu Mei's body, Liu Congde gritted his teeth and shouted out a name.
In his opinion, his father's death was closely related to Cai Qi, the minister and general secretary. If Cai Qi hadn't written the letter, how could his father have died in tears?
(PS: In order to avoid misleading readers, Xiaoxing will mention that Liu Mei died in August of the fifth year of Tianxi in history.
Here, a slight change has made Liu Mei live a few more months)
"I swear to you that I will not stand against you!"
"Brother, was it Cai Qi who killed daddy?"
Suddenly hearing the name "Cai Qi" coming from his elder brother's mouth, Liu Congguang realized that there was something fishy about his father's death.
"If Cai Qi hadn't written a letter requesting him to stop being sent by Marquis Yu, my father, how could my father be so angry?
If dad hadn’t been so angry and heartbroken, dad wouldn’t have died in an unknown way!”
"Cai Qi!"
Liu Congguang stood up suddenly and cursed angrily.
"It's his mother's fault!"
Then, he lifted up his clothes and strode out quickly. After leaving the hall, Liu Congguang quickened his pace and ran straight to the backyard.
After a while, Liu Congguang was seen holding a royal sword in his hand and walking out of the house with murderous intent.
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
Liu Congde saw his younger brother running out with weapons and quickly blocked his way.
"Brother, get out of the way!"
Liu Congguang's eyes were red and he roared angrily.
"Cai Qi killed daddy, and I will make him pay with his life today!"
"Stop it!"
Although Liu Congde also wanted Cai Qi to die, who was Cai Qi?
He is an indescribably valuable admonisher in Taiwan!
When you are above, you can admonish the emperor, and when you are below, you can inspect hundreds of officials!
Moreover, the state has the best control over civil servants. Even if they make a big mistake, they will only be demoted at most. If my brother really picked up the sword and killed Cai Qi today.
By then, even if the Queen Mother wanted to protect him, she probably wouldn't be able to protect her brother.
"Brother, get out of the way!"
Liu Congguang struggled hard, trying to break free from his elder brother's restraints, but his body had already been drained by alcohol and sex.
Even if he was younger, he could not escape Liu Congde's embrace.
"Why are you still hanging around!"
Liu Congde looked left and right and ordered.
"Why don't you come over and help!"
Here, the Liu family is in chaos, and over there, the Liu family's news has also reached the palace.
Bao Ci Hall.
When Mrs. Lin heard the news that Liu Mei had died in tears, her eyes felt black for a while, she became unsteady and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, a palace man next to her was smart and helped her in time.
"Zhang Gong, are you okay?"
Ms. Lin lowered her head and said nothing. At this time, her eyes were already red. She relied on Liu Mei's recommendation to be where she is today.
After a while, Ms. Lin recovered a little, but she felt troubled again.
What should I tell the Queen Mother?
The relationship between the Queen Mother and the Master is unusual. If the Queen Mother learns of the sudden death of the Master, how will the Queen Mother react?
After pondering for a long time, Mrs. Lin immediately gritted her teeth, stamped her feet, and walked heavily into the hall.
Inner Temple.
Hearing the footsteps coming from beside him, Liu E looked up and saw Lin's heavy face, and said in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
thump!
Mrs. Lin fell to her knees with a plop and said:
"Mother, the master has gone!"
winter!
Upon hearing the news, Liu E lost her mind and knocked the seal on the table to the ground, making a dull sound.
