Chapter 93:
Ji Heng was an emperor who lacked the spirit of introspection, so he blamed all the stupid things he did on Ruyi’s sudden arrival. He decided to punish his son severely.
First of all, the most urgent thing to do is to deprive Ruyi of the right to use the term “Tian Tian” and take it as his exclusive enjoyment. This kind of intimate and sweet appellation is only applicable to lovers. Ruyi is a ball!
Oh, anyway, it’s winter now. The little bastard has three layers of thick clothes. On the surface, he looks like a ball.
Ruyi is very sad about this. He is in Ji Heng’s study, and Tian Qi is also in it. He was transferred to the study of Qianqing palace for the “emperor’s vertical inquiry”.
Ruyi looked at Tian Qi wrongly. “you said you would not talk to others? ”
Tian Qi shook her head. “Your Highness, I didn’t say that.”
Ruyi is surprised. “How do you know that father? ”
Ji Heng opens his mouth, but he has no face to say that he overheard it lying under the bed. He said, “I know everything,” deliberately putting on a fan,” Laozi is the Jade Emperor’s who has boundless power and and has eternal life “.
No matter how smart a child is, Ruyi is convinced. He looks depressed.
Tian Qi looks at the confrontation between them silently.
Then Ji Heng turned around and excitedly called Tian Qi the new name. The sound of “Tian Tian” shouted back and forth that it was gentle and watery.
Tian Qi: “…”
When Ruyi called, Tian Qi didn’t feel anything, but when Ji Heng called, her goosebumps shook off the ground, and she wanted to pick up her tail and run away.
* * *
The interrogation of Sun Congrui was not successful. The old guy’s mouth is very hard, either shouting injustice or saying, “I want to see the emperor”. He thinks that the emperor should consider public opinion pressure, and it is impossible to kill him without evidence.
Ji Heng’s aversion to Sun Congrui has reached a climax. Want to kill Tian Qi, frame Mr. Ji, these two things are intolerable to him. The older man has to be killed, no discussion.
Of course, he still needs the consideration of public opinion. If Sun Congrui does not confess, the department of justice cannot sentence him for the time being. Ji Heng also hopes to help Mr. Ji get rid of the injustice and correct his name through this matter.
However, people’s death methods are ever-changing and do not have to be beheaded. History tells us that there is no good man who can be a good emperor from ancient times to the present. Ji Heng is not a pure good man either. Sometimes he is ruthless and unscrupulous. A while ago, the death of Consort Shun inspired Ji Heng. A few days later, Sun Congrui, in prison, suddenly committed suicide.
Sun Congrui’s cell is a high-level cell. The conditions are excellent and clean. There are no mice or cockroaches. The warder opened a window on the wall, and iron railings were cast. Early in the morning, when the warder sent Sun Congrui rice, he saw that he was facing the wall, his feet were hanging in the air, and the warder poured a bucket at his feet. He was scared and hurried to report to prison.
A certain arrester of the department of justice personally inspected the scene and initially believed that Sun Congrui committed suicide by stepping on the bucket and tying his belt to the iron railing. After the post-mortem examination, it was confirmed that the cause of Sun Congrui’s death was suffocation.
Of course, the masses are not so easy to fool. Some people begin to suspect that Sun Congrui died strangely and unconsciously fill in a joke that “Sun Congrui was persecuted in prison and forced to die to prove his innocence”.
With a wave of Ji Heng’s great hand, the Cultivation Class of “Zhuzuo” under the Ministry of justice started a visit and study around Sun Congrui’s body and had a public discussion. The atmosphere was warm. Sun Congrui’s body had no scars except bruises on his neck. That is to say. There was no such situation as “beating”, “persecution,” or “extorting confession”.
Then the reason for Sun Congrui’s suicide is clear: fear of crime and commit suicide.
And the most serious of his impeachments is to frame Ji Qingyun.
Although there is no evidence for this accusation, most people have become more inclined to its authenticity.
Ji Heng returned his life in his own way and sent people around to spread the rumors that Sun Congrui was a villain who framed loyal officials. Ji Qingyun was the crown prince’s confidant at that time, with the orthodox aura. He was totally at odds with the eunuch Chen Wuyong. Later, he was wronged and exiled. Such a person is most likely to get the sympathy and support of ordinary people. Sun Congrui’s name is often picked up by ordinary people and scolded. Sun Congrui has been pursuing fame all his life. He didn’t expect to end up infamous after his death. If he knew it, he would become crazy.
To consolidate the effect, Ji Heng asked someone to write a script to record this matter and spread it for hundreds of generations.
In fact, the biggest doubt in this matter is that there is no actual evidence. Sun Congrui’s fear of committing suicide can only be regarded as circumstantial evidence. Tian Qi can’t prove her identity and naturally can’t be a witness. People involved in this matter died in those days. Those who didn’t die were missing for many years, just like death.
To get rid of Ji’s injustice and give Tian Qi a proper name as soon as possible, Ji Heng did not allow the case to be dragged on, so it had to be closed. When Sun Congrui died, the Sun party fell. Also, most people believed that Sun Congrui had framed Ji Qingyun, so there was even less to help him speak.
This is how it is broken.
It thus determined Tan Qi’s identity officials are not very opposed to this. Most people are soft-hearted to girls, wonderful ones. The emperor’s trust in Tian Qi is obvious. In the court, Tang Ruoling and his younger brothers wrote several memorials to praise Tian Qi. Tian Gong is fair, except for Sun Congrui. All of these make Tian Qi become the daughter of Ji Qingyun, the voice of opposition is negligible.
There are many happy people. Apart from the parties, the happiest is the Empress Dowager. It would have been sensational for eunuchs to become women, but now it’s a special situation. Tian Qi is a girl. It’s amazing. Her abnormal son is finally saved. Since Tian Qi was under house arrest, the Empress Dowager probed Ji Heng’s attitude to see if he really doesn’t dislike Tian Qi. Fortunately, his son’s obsession with Tian Qi is as good as ever.
The so-called emperor is not anxious about the Empress Dowager. Ji Heng hasn’t said what kind of Tian Qi should be. The Empress Dowager is eager to think about what kind of position should be given to Tian Qi. At the moment, what was missing most was her left arm and right arm. Tian Qi is a smart person, and will definitely stand with her as a team to help her deal with the restless women in the harem.
However, the change from eunuch to concubine is a little strange. The Empress Dowager means that Tian Qi should first be a palace maid and put her in Qianqing palace. When the emperor gave her a chance, she would be promoted directly, and it made sense.
But Ji Heng did not do so. He issued a decree that Tian Qi was supposed to be sentenced to death as a eunuch, but she was a loyal and filial child. And because Ji Qingyun was victimized, so he is leaving this woman alone, gave her a few gold and silver fields to protect her from hunger and cold, and gave Ji Qingyun’s house to her.
The queen is confused. It’s reasonable to say that his son has been thinking about others. Now that he has the chance, it’s more convenient to stay in the palace directly. Why should he push others out? What a superfluous thing.
She is not stupid. After careful consideration, she has a terrible guess: does the emperor not want Tian Qi to be a concubine but plans to marry her directly?
* * *
The house of the Ji family was originally confiscated into the official and later resold to others. Then Ji Heng ascended the throne, redeemed the house, and sealed it, preserved until now. He helped Tian Qi pick some slaves in advance so that they could clean the house.
The furnishing pattern of the house remained basically unchanged. As soon as Tian Qi stepped into the door, a distant but cordial sense of familiarity came to her. Her throat was dry, like a wad of cotton blocked, unable to speak.
Ji Heng sighs and reaches for her hand.
Ruyi is sitting on his father’s arm and sees Tian Qi sad. However, he doesn’t understand why he frowns.
Ruyi amuses tian Qi. She wipes the corner of her eyes, reaches out, and presses Ruyi’s forehead. “Little child, pretend to be a little adult.”
Ruyi doesn’t know the meaning of this. Seeing Tian Qi laughing, he laughs foolishly.
Ji Heng can’t see these two goods. He leads them into the second door.
The quarter horse is not large, and the overall style is elegant. Many flowers and trees are planted in the courtyard. In summer, it is green and secluded. But now it’s winter, and the only one that opens is the plum blossom. Tian Qi leads Ji Heng and Ruyi to visit the corner of the house and finally stops in the courtyard where she used to live. A plum tree is blooming in the courtyard, and tens of millions of bright red flowers are like a small flame, adding a tree of heat to the gray winter. Tian Qi stood under the plum tree and patted the trunk gently. ‘I haven’t seen it for many years.’ The plum tree is two circles thick. Because there is no pruning, the branches are free and wild.
Tian Qi sighed again. Although she is sad, she is not sad. Now the result is much more perfect than she expected. What she has to do next is to find the bones of her relatives and bury them well. One should not forget the past but should not indulge in it.
Ji Heng holds Tian Qi’s hand and gently calls her, “ah Zhao. ”
Ah Zhao nodded and smiled at him.
Ruyi hears that his father call Tian Qi, “ah Zhao.” He thinks that his father gave up the title of “Tian Tian”. He is pleased. He grabs a plum flower and hands it to her, “Tian Tian.”
Ji Heng’s face was black, “You can call her Tian Tian “.
Ruyi asked, “why’s that? ”
Ji Heng thought that he could not always let Ruyi call on the name of a Zhao. He took a look at Ji Zhao and said to Ruyi,” called “Mother.”
Ji Zhao looked up fiercely and looked at him in surprise.
Ruyi kept silent.
Ji Heng urged him again, “called” Mother “.”
Ruyi looked at Ji Zhao with a smile, “Lady!”
Ji Heng has a sense of anger. This little bastard is only four and a half years old. But he already so flirtatious.
He put Ruyi down and tried to teach him a lesson. Ji Zhao hurriedly persuades the father and son.
Ruyi is thus turned over to Ji Zhao. Ji Zhao hesitated for a moment and decided to ask Ji Heng, “you …What do you mean? ”
“That’s what you think,” Ji Heng looked at her carefully. “I want you to be Ruyi’s mother. I can’t believe anyone else. ”
Ruyi is his eldest son. To be Ruyi’s mother means to be his queen.
Ji Zhao’s eyes are red. She seriously wants to be with him, but she didn’t expect him to do so. For many years, the position of the central palace has been vacant. It is not a small matter to re-establish the queen. How could it be that she becomes a queen from a eunuch? Ji Zhao shook her head. “But”
Ji Heng interrupts her, “no, but, ah Zhao. You’re alone. I have to give you the best. ”
Ji Zhao’s nose is sour. She doesn’t want to cry. She looks up and pretends to see plum blossom.
At this time, a servant girl came to report, “Miss, the boy on the door just said that there is a man named Wang Meng outside who wants to see you. It seems that there is something urgent. ”
Ji Zhao heard that she quickly asked people to invite him in.
Wang Meng already knew that Tian Qi had become a woman. However, he was not sensitive to anything other than medical skills, so he was only surprised and accepted the fact. Seeing Ji Zhao, Wang Meng had no time to take a sip of tea and said straightforwardly, “come with me, Fang Jun seems to remember. Now he talks nonsense, like it’s related to your father. ”
