Although rumors have been circulating these days, not many people believe it because they cover their faces. This time, it was even revealed who the 'big family' was, but no one could believe it.
The so-called big family is the Marquis of Jinyang, and the seller's mistress is Mrs. Tian, the wife of the Marquis of Jinyang, who sells the personal maid next to his youngest son Ruan Siyi.
Ruan Siyi spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and spent all his life hanging out with several maids. His wife was unwilling to be humiliated and failed. In order to appease her daughter-in-law's grievances, Mrs. Jinyang Hou sold all the culprits out of Beijing. Today's Concubine Yuan Gui is the one of them.
Everyone was in an uproar, and even Ruan Siyi, the second son of the Marquis of Jinyang, who was famous for his romance, became angry again.
Various versions of 'the story that the imperial concubine and the young master of the Hou Mansion had to tell' spread, and even ordinary civilians in the capital heard about it.
Concubine Yuan Gui got in the way of many people, and secretly there were many people who helped her spread the word. While watching a play, everyone helped spread the news, while watching the movement in the palace, and mocking the Jinyang Houfu's madness for wanting to be rich and noble.
No matter how this matter ends, whether Concubine Yuangui will fall or not, the Marquis of Jinyang's mansion is over, and Emperor Jing will never let them go.
Jinyang Hou's mansion, Jinyang Hou is furious.
A person who did not pay attention to his wife and made such a big incident, it is no wonder that the Marquis of Jinyang is angry. The anger is still small, and now he can't wait to tear Tian Shi.
"Benhou thinks you are a good person, a smart person. A smart person can do such a stupid thing!? Do you want the whole government to accompany you to death?"
"Master Hou..."
The whole main courtyard was frighteningly quiet, and the maids and old ladies were driven out by the Marquis of Jinyang.
Mr. Tian fell to the ground, his face was bleak, and he had long lost the graceful elegance of the past. There was a big slap mark on his fair face, and the mark had turned purple, which was enough to show how much effort Jinyang Hou used to fight. .
"You tell Ben Hou what you think, are you a pig? We can mix this kind of thing in, and it's too late for others to pretend to be stupid. You dare to spread it out."
"I didn't pass it on..." Tian Shi finally burst into tears, not only because of her husband's scolding and this slap, but also because of the uncontrollable panic in her heart. "It's Chengyang Uncle's Mansion, it's Concubine Qiao Xian, they cheated on their concubines..."
"When others cheat you, if you don't get on the pole and push up, others can cheat you? There are a few simple ones in the palace, and the smarter ones won't push up, but you are the only one who does it."
"No, no... I'm also for my family... "
The Marquis of Jinyang snorted, "You directly say it's good for your parents' family..."
Ruan Siming and Ruan Siyi broke in after receiving the news, and they were shocked when they saw the situation in the room.
"Father-"
Ruan Siyi ran over to help Mr. Tian up, and Mrs. Tian fell into his son's arms and cried so hard.
"Father, is there anything you can't say with your mouth? What are you beating your mother for!"
Jinyang Hou frowned coldly, "You first ask your mother what she did!"
Ruan Siming already knew it, but Ruan Siyi was the only one who lingered among the fans in the backyard every day, not knowing what happened.
Tian was sobbing so hard that he couldn't speak, so the Marquis of Jinyang could only tell the whole thing.
After hearing this, Ruan Siyi was immediately dumbfounded and panicked: "How can this be good now?"
"What's the matter? It's over, it's over!" Jinyang Hou slumped on the chair, his face ashen. "The immortals are here, but they can't save us!"
"Master Hou, Madam, it's not good..."
Ruan Siyi, who was in a hurry and panic, took out his anger, "What's wrong, are there any rules?"
The visitor was running out of breath and gasping for a while before he said the following words, "Many officers and soldiers have come from outside the mansion, and the whole mansion has been surrounded!"
***
Emperor Jing did move, but this time it was unexpected.
Jinyang Hou's mansion was detained by Dali Temple on the charge of framing the imperial court's imperial concubine.
In addition to being surprised, there are also people secretly preparing to make a statement about the matter tomorrow. After all, it is just a rumor. Before the truth of the matter is found out, it is not enough to take a Houfu to reach it.
Of course, Emperor Jing can make this decision dictatorially, but this is the act of a faint monarch. He became a faint monarch as soon as he ascended the throne, and there will inevitably be someone who secretly provoked trouble in the future. But don't forget, there are many people in the dark who want to take advantage of the chaos.
Unexpectedly, in the court hall on the second day, Emperor Jing issued a holy edict, ordering the three divisions of the Dali Temple Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ministry of Punishment to try the case together, and the concubine was innocent.
This move caused an uproar among the ministers, Xungui. If this kind of thing goes through a joint trial of the three divisions, it will not be finished until the end is investigated.
There is no way to explain things like rumors, and they usually get darker and darker. When ordinary people encounter this matter, they either ignore it and let it dissipate, or spread other rumors and gossip to cover it up. Few people will use such violent means to make a bigger fuss.
No one thought that Emperor Jing would make such a decision. Could it be that Emperor Jing was completely angry? Or are you sure that someone is framing it
For a time, everyone was dumb, and many people couldn't sit still.
Including Chengyang Uncle Mansion and Concubine Qiao Xian did not expect things to happen so unexpectedly. Their plan was that this incident would definitely make Concubine Yuan Gui dead, and Emperor Jing would suffer a dumb loss. No matter how angry he was, he wouldn't move anyone for the time being, or he would fall for it. He will only settle things afterwards. By then, Concubine Yuan Gui is finished, and he will not be too showy because of his face. He will just find a reason to clean up the Jinyang Hou Mansion.
Of course, just relying on the Jinyang Marquis Mansion would not have such great energy, then it would be concluded that the Duke Yasuo Mansion was behind the trouble, and it had nothing to do with their Chengyang Uncle Mansion.
Now that the Marquis of Jinyang's mansion has been detained, Tian Shi will keep his mouth shut to help them hide it? Fools know it's impossible, not to mention the tribunal, even if Tian wants to hide it, he can't hide it.
The detained members of the Jinyang Hou Mansion were jointly guarded by the Dali Temple's Punishment Bureau, and no one was allowed to visit. This leaves those who secretly want to do nothing but watch the first trial in three days.
On this day, the imperial concubine summoned Concubine Qiao Xian to the Dawn Palace to speak.
Xiaohua didn't say anything else, just gossiping with Concubine Qiao Xianying with a smile, as if the troubles outside had nothing to do with her.
On the contrary, Concubine Qiao Xian seemed a little restless, with a reluctant smile on her face.
"Sister Xian Fei, haven't you slept well? It's turning blue now. We women can't be compared with men's families, especially the older ones. If you don't sleep well, you will be a few years older. After all, you are not young anymore. ." Xiaohua touched her tender face, her eyebrows drooping, and sighed that her beauty was getting old.
"The maiden is still young, so she doesn't have such troubles."
"That's true." Xiaohua rolled her eyes and glanced at Concubine Qiao Xian, "You can't do this to Concubine Xian's sister. After all, her age is here, so you should pay more attention in the future."
"Thank you for your concern." Concubine Qiao Xian has been a little absent-minded, and she doesn't seem to hear Xiaohua sneering at her, "There are still some affairs in the palace of the concubine, so I will not accompany the concubine, and the concubine will go first."
Seeing Concubine Qiao Xian leaving in a hurry, Xiaohua pouted and said, "Lilac, do you think Concubine Xian will not sleep well for a few days?"
Lilac smiled and said, "It will take at least two days, at least until the next day's tribunal trial. Maybe she won't sleep well in the future, who will make her restless."
"Yeah, who would have thought that she was behind this matter. But she is also a smart person, and she knows how to take advantage of people's weaknesses. Fortunately, your Majesty's personality has always been easy for ordinary people, which surprised many people. ."
Lilac nodded, her brows suddenly darkened, "It's because I'm tired of Empress's reputation."
"Okay, what kind of reputation is not good." Xiaohua waved her hand indifferently, "This matter will have to be resolved sooner or later. It just happened once and for all, and it will also dispel some people's minds. And... "
The rest of the words, Xiaohua did not say anything. After a while, she suddenly said: "You are about to get married, so don't go out and show your face the day after tomorrow. This palace will leave this matter to Chuncao."
Lilac was a little worried, "Is Chuncao okay? The servant is afraid of her stage fright."
"Don't underestimate that girl..."
***
The day of the tribunal finally came.
Early in the morning, the Dali Temple Minister, the Minister of Punishment, the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Court, and the eunuch Fushun, the eunuch who was sent by Emperor Jing personally, were seated in the Dali Temple.
The presiding judge was the Dali Temple Minister, who was seated in the main seat, the Minister of Punishment and the Zuodu Censor were seated on the left and right, and Fushun was seated at the lower head.
This kind of trial is extremely cumbersome, requiring people to be brought up one by one for questioning, and there are several people in charge of copying, including the Dali Temple master bookkeeper and recorder.
Because of Emperor Jing's big move, the entire Jinyang Marquis' mansion had long been frightened, not to mention Jinyang Marquis's wife Tian Shi.
She was the first to be mentioned, and she didn't hide it, she recruited everything in 1510. Including how she recognized Concubine Yuan Gui at the beginning, how she tried and thought carefully after that, how she stopped and regained her heart, how she colluded with Mrs. Chengyang Uncle, etc. What happened was also said.
After listening, the three people in the hall almost knew what they had in mind.
To put it bluntly, it was this woman who thought she was holding someone else's back and wanted to coerce her. Who would have thought that Concubine Yuan Gui was so ill-tempered that she ignored her at all. It was also involved that the queen was about to be abolished due to a serious illness, and secretly all kinds of immortals made tricks, and this stupid person was used.
Since the Chengyang Uncle Mansion was pulled out, the people in the Chengyang Uncle Mansion would also be questioned. Because of the imperial decree issued by Emperor Jing, which stated that "all governments cooperate, there are no taboos", Chengyang Uncle Mansion was soon sent to guard by the Ministry of Punishment, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and Mrs. Chengyang Uncle was passed on.
Mrs. Chengyang Uncle estimated that she was already mentally prepared, although her face was pale, it was not too pale, and she quickly moved.
However, in her description, she is familiar with Mrs. Jinyang Hou. One day, when he saw Tian's face with a sad face, he asked a few more questions, and then he knew what happened. At the same time, she was acquainted with the second Mrs. Xiao of the Yasukuni Palace, and she accidentally missed her mouth when chatting. Later, when the matter spread, she knew it was going to be bad, but the matter was irreversible, and she could only panic day and night without sleep.
Mrs. Chengyang Uncle cried while complaining, blaming herself for being tongue-in-cheek, not keeping her mouth shut, and implicated everyone in the whole house. She also asked the minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of Punishment, and the censor of Zuodu to find out what happened. He also said that if she wants to be punished, she will be punished alone, and the whole thing will not be known to the rest of the family.
With her talkativeness and carelessness, she blamed everything on herself for being too talkative about women. The three people sitting in the hall knew what was going on in their hearts, and it was estimated that another empress in the palace was implicated. But there is another person who has not been informed, so they can only be taken away and sent to the Yasukuni Palace.
For most of the day, the two houses were sealed in a row, although they only sent people to guard the gates of various places, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. But this kind of situation is also extremely rare, especially not only the Chengyang Uncle's Mansion, but also the Jingguo Gong's Mansion. Some people who are concerned about this matter are even more anxious to scratch their ears. Outside the Dali Temple, people from various prefectures gather on the roadside to inquire about the news.
The author has something to say: ps: ⊙﹏⊙ Khan, it’s three o’clock in the middle of the night after finishing this chapter.
I glanced at the comments, and I really lost my mind.
Seeing that a relative said that Concubine Xian thought she could be a queen, why did she think so
⊙﹏⊙Khan, Concubine Qiao Xian never said that she wanted to be a queen from the beginning to the end. It was a subordinate who made a lovey flattery. Maybe Mrs. Chengyang would also have this idea, but she was not so arrogant. Word of measure.
To put it bluntly, Concubine Qiao Xian is just ruthless against Xiaohua and wants to hurt her. A cannon barrel just happened to be delivered to the door by herself. She thought that it would be fine to mix it in the muddy water for a while, so she became wicked. A woman who has been neglected for a few years has nothing to ask for, and the hatred in her heart is conceivable (looking at the opportunity on the other hand, she will also retaliate ⊙﹏⊙b Khan). She and Tian's partner, not for the queen, but to deceive people.
Tian Shi (offended Xiaohua badly, I was afraid, and wanted to fight to get rid of the roadblock and solve a serious problem) → Concubine Qiao Xian + Mrs. Chengyang Uncle (purely to make trouble, of course not to remove Chengyang Uncle's self-love Think about her own daughter becoming the queen, but Concubine Qiao Xian can come up with such a tricky trick, I guess she is not so arrogant) → Xiao family (completely directed at the queen's position, think Xiaohua is a hindrance, want to drag her down )
Of course, there are still many people who want to fish in troubled waters.
This matter will be over soon, it is not a delay, but not only to solve the problem of Tian Shi + Qiao Xianfei. About a chapter and a half.
