Cannon Fodder Strategy

It was for this reason that Jiang was redeemed by the Zhou family, trained and sent to the Yangchun Society. She was beautiful, fluent in music, and good at singing, and she soon became a pillar of the Yangchun Society. This time she entered the palace with the people from the Yangchun Society, seduced the emperor, and was favored by the emperor.

Although he agreed to the Zhou family's request, Jiang always thought that he was forced and was very depressed and unhappy, so when he saw Lily, it was inevitable that there would be a bit of hatred on his face.

Lily knew that she was unhappy and didn't care about her attitude. Jiang Cainu's heart is as high as the sky, but unfortunately her life is as thin as paper. No one can blame her for such a fate. She can only blame her from a poor background, but she has such beauty, which is the source of the disaster.

Si Qing was still a little dissatisfied, but seeing how Lily didn't care, she sighed and stopped talking.

On this side, Jiang Cainu's belly is 'pregnant', but on the other side, the Lu family has been in trouble for a long time.

Although Emperor Yongming is still suppressing it tightly and does not allow the Jingzhao Prefecture to touch the Lu family, rumors have begun to spread in Beijing recently. Everyone has gained from Lu Ping's corruption. The three million taels of silver came from the Lu family. When Lu Ping was dug up from his ancestral grave, he couldn't tell anyone. He kept shouting that he was wronged. The person who reported him at the beginning was beaten to death, but he still insisted that it was Lu Ping's corruption. After Zhou Chengsheng was beaten, Emperor Yongming's reputation dropped drastically. Yan Guan even recorded Emperor Yongming's words and deeds on that day in the annals of history. Nothing has gone smoothly recently.

Regarding this situation, Empress Dowager Lu came up with the idea that to solve the problems in the court, sometimes she had to rely on the harem.

But now that the Lu family's affairs are too big, the only way to divert everyone's attention is with a bigger incident. The Lu family is now unable to protect itself and cannot help her. Emperor Yongming can help her, but Emperor Yongming has been very worried recently, and Empress Dowager Lu can't get involved in the affairs of the court, so she sets her sights on the harem.

In the palace, Liu Wanyi's father was just a doctor in the Ministry of History. It's not a big official position. Even if something happens to Liu Wanyi, if the palace can't hide it, others will accuse her of being incompetent. Then her target will only fall on others. Among the women with slightly higher status, except for Liu Wanyi, Yungui people have a low status. They can't make a big impact except as chess pieces.

Then among the others, only the third concubine has the highest status. The noble concubine Zhou's Empress Dowager Lu has already made arrangements, so she will not be left alone for the time being, while the virtuous concubine has a willful temperament. It's easy to catch the handle, and there is also a Gao family with an impulsive temperament. Although he has restrained himself a lot after the last incident, the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. Empress Dowager Lu has set her sights on these two people, and the concubine Xian has been on guard against her. . She couldn't find a chance to take action, so she had no choice but to take action against Consort Gao.

Concubine De was the oldest among the women in Emperor Yongming's early period. She was already twenty this year, but she still had no heirs. Emperor Yongming had been neglecting her a lot recently and no longer favored her as he did before. She also began to think about what to do for her. Find your own way out. Empress Dowager Lu hinted that Concubine De could adopt Yungui people's children, and Concubine De hated Yungui people to the core. How can he be willing to support the son of a Yungui man? She refused in her heart. Empress Dowager Lu hinted to her that she could leave the Yungui people to their mothers and keep their children. In this way, Concubine De was a little moved.

If Yungui died. The son she left behind had no mother, so naturally she only recognized herself. In addition, Liang Mulin is still young and has no memory. If he keeps him by his side in the future, he will definitely become a relative after raising him for more than ten years. Since Liang Mubei's death, Emperor Yongming now only has one son, Liang Mulin, in the palace. Liang Mulin was adopted by her. In addition to the achievements left by the Gao family, the possibility that the emperor would consider Liang Mulin to ascend the throne is extremely high.

The interest was so attractive that Concubine De took the bait easily. She often sent people to visit the little prince in the palace, and even sent him some clothes from time to time. Within a few days, the little prince was found to have been sewn in his underwear. Several fine needles were inserted. The baby's skin was so delicate that if the wet nurse hadn't discovered it in time, his chest would have been pierced by needles. The needles were about two or three inches long, thin and pointed, and many of them penetrated into the little prince's skin. The medical girl was helpless. When the imperial doctor came, the little prince had already cried hoarsely. When he peeled off his clothes and took a look, he found that there were more than needles inside his clothes. There was actually a bloody piece of cloth that had dried up. After looking at it, the imperial doctor's expression changed drastically, saying that there might be an epidemic on it.

As soon as the word "epidemic" came out, everyone's expressions changed with horror. The possibility of an epidemic in the palace was like a spark igniting a prairie fire, and the news spread quickly, overwhelming the news of the Lu family's trouble that had been discussed in low voices by the palace people before. Emperor Yongming was uneasy in the front hall, and something happened in the later dynasties. He was furious and ordered people to conduct a thorough search of the harem. For the first time, the Queen Mother was furious and ordered everyone to search the palace. After this search, something went wrong. Under Concubine De's bed I don't know when someone inserted a needle into the little man. What was written on it happened to be Liang Mulin's birth date. Coincidentally, those needles also happened to be inserted into the little man's chest, and Liang Mulin's chest I also got acupuncture.

Needles appeared in the clothes, and blood smears were also found in the clothes. Since Concubine De practiced witchcraft, naturally the epidemic was most likely related to her.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the art of witchcraft is taboo. In the previous dynasty, there were examples of empresses being deposed because they were involved in witchcraft cases. Although the concubine kept crying out for injustice, she was still stripped of the concubine. His title was banned, his status was reduced to a humble status, and he was ordered to be banned from the palace and await his fate. Although everyone in the palace knew that Concubine De was in trouble this time and might not be able to recover, but because of the presence of a Gao family who had made great military exploits, the Gao family might not be able to recover at all.

Everyone in the palace is in danger. In November, the autumn wind is already blowing in the palace. After nightfall, except for the palace officials on duty, almost no one dares to go out and walk around. The surrounding area seems extremely deserted. It has not yet fallen into the night, but when talking, The echoes seemed to be audible.

The lights had not been turned off in the Xianfu Palace, and Lily usually drank a drink when she fell asleep. Shiqing brought something up, opened the lid for Lily, and whispered: "General Gao has been kneeling in the palace for three days. , The emperor has not seen him yet." After the Gao family's witchcraft case broke out, the Gao family went to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor. The matter of witchcraft can be big or small. The ancients were superstitious, and the art of being tired of winning is the most disgusting. In the light case, you will die for committing the crime, and in the worst case, you will kill the nine tribes. Not to mention that the Gao family was deprived of the title of Virtuous Concubine, it is very likely that she will continue to do so. Disaster for the family.

Especially now that the Gao family is not only involved in the witchcraft case, but is also very likely to spread the epidemic. Just one of the crimes is enough to make the Gao family never reincarnate, let alone the punishment for both crimes. The Gao family is definitely dead, just because there is an epidemic in the harem of Emperor Yongming. The newly born prince Liang Mulin is now in danger, and his life is very likely to be in danger. On the surface, he only has such a son. If something happens again, I'm afraid The court will be in a panic, especially since Lu Ping's corruption case has not been settled a few days ago, and he has not yet freed up his hands to deal with the Gao family.

"The Emperor will not see him." When Lily heard Shiqing's words, she took a spoon and took a spoonful of drink, slowly swallowed it into her throat, and then sneered: "It's so sexy that it makes you faint." Just because of one. Woman, Emperor Yongming is crazy now. Among the civil and military ministers in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he offended the Zhou family and punished Zhou Chengsheng, making him notorious for being ignorant and unethical. Among the generals, he was actually planning to attack the Gao family, and the Lu family came to Hu Lai. He wanted to seize the Gao family's military power.

Since the Liang Yi period, the Gao family has been in control of the military. Many of the 40,000 imperial guards in the capital have served in the Gao family's army and have a close relationship with the Gao family. Emperor Yongming had only been on the throne for less than two years, and his wings were not yet strong and fledged, so he wanted to rush for success. Unfortunately, the late emperor's teachings to him at the beginning seemed to be in vain now.

The poem was a bit staggering and unbelievable: "Three generations of the Gao family have been loyal and have made military exploits. The bones of old general Gao are still cold. The Gao family has such a rich lintel. Wouldn't the emperor be so angry?" Even if he is angry with the Gao family, the most he can do is To depose the Gao family and take her life, the Gao family has made so many great contributions and had the merit of following the dragon in the first place. Even if the emperor takes back the military power, it will not be detrimental to General Gao.

After all, although this incident broke out suddenly, and the evidence seems to be unfavorable to the Gao family, it is still unknown whether the Gao family did it or not. The emperor has not yet freed up his hands to investigate these days. Even if the Gao family can be convicted with just a witchcraft, it cannot prove that the Gao family instigated the matter.

"What's impossible?" Emperor Yongming didn't even understand the most basic etiquette and shame. He had done so many disgusting things in the past two years that Lily didn't want to recall them. After Shiqing heard what she said, she stopped talking.

General Gao knelt outside the palace gate for more than ten days. Emperor Yongming did not see him, and finally scolded him for disciplining his children to avoid raising a daughter like Gao. When Emperor Yongming sent Eunuch Sanfu to go out to promote his speech, he did not care about the face of this powerful general. After scolding Eunuch Sanfu and leaving arrogantly, according to the person who was on duty in front of the Taiji Hall that day. Palace officials and chamberlains said that General Gao's face was ashen and his fists were clenched.

Just when the atmosphere in the palace was on the verge of breaking out, Gao was given dove poison.

At this time, everyone in the palace was in danger. After nightfall, it was rare to see the palace eunuchs on the road. Oil lamps were lit in the lampposts beside the road. Under the dim light, the flames in the lampshades couldn't help but sway, lighting up the surrounding people. The branches and buds of flowers, plants and trees look like ghosts with teeth and claws.

In the Imperial Concubine's palace, which used to be extremely beautiful, the palace attendants had already run away. Gao, who used to be arrogant and somewhat heroic, was now dressed decently. She put on makeup and sat beautifully. In the palace. Two waiters held a tray with a beautiful bottle on it and handed it to her respectfully. She sneered twice: "I was wronged. I was framed. I want to see the emperor." , I want to see the emperor!" The person who delivered the medicine was the old eunuch Shang Xi. After hearing Concubine De's words, his eyelids drooped: "Please don't embarrass our family, the emperor has no time to see you now. "The Gao family has been stripped of her position as a concubine, and now she is still complaining. (To be continued ~^~)
