The crown princess is about the royal face, and more about the crown prince. Emperor Jing Ming pays great attention to these rumors outside the palace.
In order to quell the rumors, he originally planned to ask Han Ran, the commander of Jin Linwei, to send Lu Chuchu back to life. No matter whether this is the real county owner or the fake county owner, if he admits the wrong person, he will calm down the people's discussion first.
There are endless gossips in Beijing, and presumably the common people will forget this one in a short time.
Who would have thought that the Northern Qi envoy who lived in the embassy heard the wind and ran over to recognize the person, and rushed in front of Lu Chuchu and burst into tears, completely confirming her identity as the Northern Qi county master.
In this way, Emperor Jing Ming not only had to pinched his nose to recognize it, but also agreed to the request of the envoys of Northern Qi: ask Da Zhou to send soldiers to escort Qiluo County Master back to Northern Qi.
In terms of overall national strength, Da Zhou is naturally superior, but the Northern Qi people are belligerent, and in real fights, Da Zhou suffers big losses and pays a lot of money.
Fortunately, although there have been small frictions between the two countries over the years, large-scale wars have not erupted, which also gave Da Zhou the energy to deal with Nan Lan with all his strength.
Under such a situation, Emperor Jing Ming of course did not want to offend Northern Qi, and after a little thought, he ordered Jiang Zhan to escort Princess Qiluo back to Northern Qi, and hurriedly sent the hot potato away.
The team escorting Princess Qiluo didn't make much fanfare, but it was discovered by the sharp-eyed people of the capital.
As a result, the rumors are even stronger.
What no one noticed was that Mrs. Xiu, the shopkeeper of Lu Shengxiang, who had already closed the door, sent a petition to Shuntian Mansion.
The case is a bit strange, and the accusation is against the gossip provocateur, accusing the spreader of rumors with ulterior motives, damaging the reputation of Lu Shengxiang's owner, and causing Lu Shengxiang to close down.
There is no specific defendant in the case.
It was just such a paper letter that Zhen Shicheng, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, actually accepted it, and he took the case seriously.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and it has arrived in March, and even the three-yearly spring season has passed.
It is reasonable to say that at this time, the people in the capital are most concerned about the parade of the champion, the flowers and the flowers, or talking about Qiong Lin, the eldest son of Dongping Bofu, who got drunk and broke his leg on the way back to the house after a banquet. should.
But the turmoil of the Crown Princess not only did not pass, but it became more and more serious.
Collusion between the Crown Princess and Northern Qi’s spies is the first crime, the Crown Princess retreating from her own reputation is the second crime, and now she has the third crime: droughts began to occur in many places last year, and even the capital’s borders have not yet fallen. , this is a warning from God that the princess is dissatisfied with the princess.
Jiang Xi was happy to hear this rumor.
Aman stomped his feet in anger: "Why are you still laughing, that is, it is not convenient to go out in the palace, otherwise the maid will tear those people's mouths!"
Jiang Si glanced at her and said lightly, "Can you tear the mouths of the world with your hands?"
"Then what should we do? Are they letting them slander your reputation? The maid also heard that the imperial court has already impeached you..."
"You're well-informed. Well, these things aren't your concern, hold your breath."
Seeing that Jiang seemed like this, Ah Man had no choice but to give up.
Emperor Jing Ming really began to have a headache for Yan Guan who jumped up and down and Bai Guan Xungui who was just about to move.
He knew in his heart that it was necessary to suddenly decide on the problem left by the prince.
At the time of the imperial decree, the officials dared to be angry and did not dare to say anything. Later, the prince avoided Tiangou and swallowed the sun and was considered to be the destiny, and no one dared to say anything.
But being silent doesn't mean you have no idea.
Up to now, when the crown princess encounters an incident, she sharpens her knives one by one.
Can't take the crown prince, can't you take the crown princess
Besides, the prince is so young and handsome. Seeing that the emperor has packed up a group of princes and only a few are left, the prince's seat should be secure. If the Crown Princess is killed, her daughter (granddaughter, niece) will not have a chance.
Thinking of this, the ministers were even more motivated.
Emperor Jing Ming was sitting on the dragon chair, and he was drowsy when he heard the spittle of an official who impeached the Crown Princess.
Without him, I hear so many words these days that my ears are numb.
Emperor Jing Ming was not without anger in his heart.
The Crown Princess colluded with Northern Qi spies
It is said that the Qiluo County Master sipped his teeth when he drank cold water. If the Northern Qi Dynasty sent such a person as a spy, he would have perished.
And the fact that the Crown Princess had retreated from her kiss, Chen Zhiyao's rotten millet, even turned it over to block him. Did these idiots forget that when Lao Qi was still King Yan, his marriage was his nod
Could it be that at that time he didn't know that the Crown Princess had retired
The marriage he recognized is now coming out to talk about it. Is this for the Crown Princess? This is hitting him in the face!
As for the occurrence of drought, it is even more ridiculous. It is like saying that the weather is good every year, but it is just to add the guilt.
When the third official came out and listed the same charges as the Crown Princess, Emperor Jing Ming couldn't bear to interject: "The Crown Princess is only a weak woman, how can she collude with the people of Northern Qi? Aiqing is overthinking—"
Who knew that the famous speaker was impatient, and hit a pillar before Emperor Jing Ming could finish his words.
What was even more unexpected was that there was a group of people standing beside Yan Guan, but none of them were quick to hold them back. Yan Guan immediately broke his head and was killed.
When such a thing happened, it would not be so easy for Emperor Jing Ming to confuse the Crown Princess.
At this time, it didn't matter whether the Crown Princess colluded with the Northern Qi people.
Everyone speaks loudly and fearlessly. They all say that you are guilty, then you are guilty. It is said that you have caused a great drought in the world, then you are the culprit of the great drought in the world.
Emperor Jing Ming glanced at the bloodstains on the gold brick, and walked away with a dark face.
The news that the official impeached the princess for hitting a pillar in the main hall and died quickly spread.
Someone came from the Cining Palace and asked Emperor Jingming to come over.
Seeing the Queen Mother, Emperor Jing Ming suppressed his annoyance and pulled out a smile: "Why is the mother looking for her son?"
There was a cup of tea in front of the queen mother, still steaming.
She picked up the tea cup and said in a low voice, "Aijia heard that a censor died because he impeached the princess for touching a pillar—"
"Empress mother also heard about it?" When Emperor Jing Ming mentioned this, he was very heartbroken.
Don't think he doesn't know, is it because those officials are always looking for life and death because they are upright
Hehe, just stepping on his monarch to gain a good name.
Thinking about it makes me angry, but everyone is dead, what else can he do? If there is an attack on the speaker's family, a fool's hat will be put on immediately.
The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed: "The matter of the Crown Princess is so noisy, and Aijia is not deaf, how can you not hear the wind?"
Emperor Jing Ming sighed: "I made my mother worry again."
The queen mother took a sip of tea and said lightly: "It doesn't matter whether the Ai family is worried or not, what matters is what the emperor plans to do?"
Seeing that Emperor Jingming was silent, the queen mother put down the tea cup and said earnestly: "The emperor has just chosen the prince, and the crown prince has caused such a disturbance. The mouth of defending the people is more than defending the river, and it is not right to want to quell the discussion of the people in the world. It's easy. How this will end, the emperor should think about it."
"My son knows." Emperor Jing Ming left the Cining Palace with a heavy heart.
