Chapter 534: Unexpected Disaster
A pile of memorial documents were neatly placed on the table. However, in the blink of an eye, they were turned into a mess.
The longer the pages went on, the more frowned the person sitting in front of the desk became.
Liang Han looked on quietly.
After a while, the person who was rummaging for things stopped and sat down.
Liang Huan picked a few books from the messy documents and placed them in front of Gao Yang.
"Taichang Temple Minister Han Shiqing's articles have always been well written. The emperor can read them. Ouyang Shaoqing's articles are also concise, comprehensive and clear."
Gao Yang reluctantly picked them up, Zhang Zhang only glanced at it and then put it aside.
"This last chapter is full of flashy words of praise and virtue. It has nothing to say. What's the use?"
After a slight pause, he added: "This Ouyang Shaoqing's performance is so lonely. I also read it, but I just made some suggestions on the year-end sacrifice matters. As for other people’s..."
He had a tigerish expression on his face and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Looking at the writing, I have written a lot of words, but they are all for me to eat, drink and have fun."
Liang Huan smiled knowingly: "These documents can be submitted to How many people had to go through the emperor's case, how could the emperor expect to see what he wanted to see?
At first, some people might be able to speak out boldly, but as time went by, those who spoke out began to lose their temper. , either dead or changed."
"So, there is no big difference between looking at it and not looking at it."
Gao Yang turned to look at her and looked back. There were documents on the desk, and he lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Just as Liang Huan was about to say a few words of comfort, a servant stepped in with a panicked look and his steps were a little chaotic.
He lowered his head and knelt down before he could reach him. What trembled with his body was his voice.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, it's not good."
Gao Yang looked up, feeling uneasy: "What happened?"
The chamberlain looked timidly at Liang Huan's face. He glanced up and said: "Your Excellency Shangshu Ling was accidentally killed."
Gao Yang was stunned: "What did you say? Shangshu Ling, Shangshu Ling is dead?"
Liang Huan stiffened, and looked at the servant, and his heart sank again and again.
Gao Yang stood up when he regained consciousness.
Liang Huan held him down and stared at the chamberlain: "Is the news reliable?"
The chamberlain nodded repeatedly: "The news I just got is absolutely correct. , I am afraid it has spread throughout Jinye City now.”
Gao Yang's body was trembling slightly: "Everyone was fine this morning, why are people suddenly missing? Manslaughter? How could he be killed by manslaughter?"
Liang Huan said in a deep voice: "What happened?"
The servant shrank and said hurriedly: "Back to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, it is said that the minister ordered the emperor to drive back to the house as usual. Who would have thought that he would collide with King Yong'an's cart when he reached the intersection? It was nothing. It’s a big matter, it’s okay to give in, but for some reason, the people below got into a quarrel and even took action in the street. In the panic, Shangshu Ling was stabbed to death by a servant of Prince Yong’an. "
Lu Xujiu. Being stabbed to death by the servants of Yong'an Palace?
Liang Han gasped and couldn't believe it.
Gao Yang grabbed Liang Huan with his backhand, his hands were cold: "...Queen Mother?"
They mainly relied on Lu Xu in the court. Now that Lu Xu is dead, what should they do in the future?
Liang Huan lowered his eyes, tried his best to calm down his confused mood, and asked: "Where is King Yong'an?"
The chamberlain said: "The servants of the palace know that they have caused a big trouble. He committed suicide in the street to apologize."
Liang Hugan smiled dryly: "Suicide to apologize?"
Gao Yang looked up at her, a little unsure: "Do you want to summon the Minister of Dali Temple?"
Liang Wei pursed her lips and waved her hand to the chamberlain: "Go down."
The chamberlain He bowed to the ground and was about to exit the door when he was stopped again.
Liang Huan asked him to summon Xia Houzhao and Chun Yubei.
The chamberlain is ordered to leave.
There was dead silence in the palace.
Gao Yang couldn't help but panic: "Queen Mother?" Liang Huan slowly looked back at the person in front of him with a deep look in his eyes: "I'm afraid they will attack us soon."
The two men, one large and one small, looked at each other in silence.
Gao Yang said tremblingly: "Is it because the minister has been too sharp during this period?"
Liang Huan shook his head slightly: "Not really. As long as we sit in this position, everyone who supports and supports us will be the ones they want to eliminate. However, Shangshu Ling is the first to bear the brunt. The emperor has just ascended the throne and the throne is unstable. It's a good time to make a move. If it takes a long time, when our power is stable, it will not be easy to shake."
While she was talking, someone ran in with a crooked bun and disheveled clothes. Totally oblivious.
It was Lu Wanying.
Judging from her appearance, she must have run all the way from Yaohua Hall to Taiji Hall after hearing the news.
This distance is not close.
Her red eyes were wet, and she rushed forward panting, leaning down and placing her palms on the table, staring at them, her lips and teeth trembling.
"My, my father is dead, right?"
Gao Yang let go of Liang Huan and stood up: "... Concubine."
Lu Wan Ying gritted her teeth: "Is it true? I'm asking you, is my father dead?"
Liang Huan nodded slightly: "Yes, we just heard about it. ”
After receiving the affirmative answer, Lu Wan's eyebrows curled up, and he laughed a few times. Tears flowed down his cheeks, and he sat weakly on the ground.
She suddenly raised her head and gritted her teeth: "Who? Who harmed him? Is it Gao Huan? It's him! I want him to pay for it with his life!"
Liang Huan frowned slightly, no say.
Gao Yang tried to comfort him and said: "Princess, the matter has not yet been concluded, and Dali Temple still needs to investigate carefully."
Lu Wanying's eyes were fierce: "Investigation? Do we still need to investigate? ? It was Gao Huan who ordered it! Otherwise, how could a mere lowly person kill the dignified minister? ”
Liang Huan pondered for a moment and whispered: "Ah Ying, please leave the palace."
Lu Wanying wiped away her tears, suddenly came to her senses, and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I want to go back now." Mansion——"
Liang Huan grabbed her arm, interrupted her, looked into her eyes and said seriously: "I mean, don't come back after you leave the palace today."
Lu Wanying was stunned: "Not coming back?"
Gao Yang also looked at her in surprise.
Liang Huan nodded and said in a very solemn tone: "It will be very dangerous to go into the harem. Leave now if you can."
Lu Wanying's expression froze for a moment, he lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then raised his head: "No, I want to Staying can only be done in the palace - my father is dead, my aunt is sick again, and Mrs. Lu is no longer the same as before. I can't leave the palace at this time, so I want to stay."
She wiped away her tears and retreated. He took two steps back and bowed respectfully: "Please allow me to return home for a few days to see my father off."
Liang Huan stood up and helped her up: "Ah Ying, I know how to order Someone will escort you back. If you don't plan to come back, just send someone to report to me. You don't need to worry about the rest. I will take care of it."
Lu Wan. Ying nodded, thanked him and left.
Lu Wan went out with his front foot, and Xia Houzhao and Chunyu Bei came in with his back foot.
After a brief discussion between Liang Huan and the two of them, there was no better way than strengthening the palace guards.
The next day, Dali Temple settled the case. It was indeed an accident.
Even so, the court was still quarreling. King Gaohuan of Yong'an neglected to discipline his servants and unintentionally killed the minister Lu Xu. He felt guilty and asked to be punished for one year, and he reflected behind closed doors.
Liang Huan was not surprised by this result.
After going down to court, Gao Yang looked at Liang Huan: "Who do you think the Queen Mother did?"
