On the throne of the emperor, Chunjia's tone was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, and he ordered without emotion: "Accurately!"
"Back to your majesty, since the Double Ninth Festival banquet, the poor scholars have indeed experienced many changes. So far, including Xie Fu, there are nearly ten of them!" Sun Yu was lying on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and said with a trembling voice, "Because everything has happened. It seems to be accidental and accidental, and the people involved did not notice the clues. It was just bad luck at the time and they did not report it to the official. The Imperial City Secretary was negligent because of this. Please punish me!"
He was indeed very frightened. After all, he was not promoted by the emperor himself, and now such a big mistake had happened. Chunjia ordered him to be pushed out and beheaded on the spot, and now he did not dare to intercede with him. The ten people from poor families are actually not that important. The key point is that Xie Wuzheng took the lead in making a fuss because he wanted to plead for the lives of all the poor people in the world!
This matter has become a big deal. If the court fails to handle it well, it will be labeled as a crime that has chilled the hearts of the poor people in the world. It must be understood that although the powerful are powerful, the majority in the world are still from humble backgrounds.
How could Chunjia, a wise king, put himself in such a situation
impossible.
At that time, in order to calm the hearts of the poor scholars in the world and win the praise of the scholars, they will inevitably push Sun Yu and other subordinates out of the tank.
In this way, his death will be in vain. In the future history of history, I am afraid that his name will also be unflattering - who let the history of history be written by scholars? If you dare not take them seriously, can you still get good results
"Bastard!" There was silence for a moment in the palace. Before the ministers could speak, Danchishang Chunjia was already furious and smashed something down. "The Imperial City Secretary was ordered to monitor the world. Is this what he did?! The best place in the Imperial Capital went to take the examination. You have experienced something like this, let alone others?! What use do I need from you to eat like this with a dead body?!"
"I deserve death for my crime!" Sun Yu couldn't explain, he was sweating profusely, so he had to kneel on the ground and kowtow frequently.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial City Department has indeed done this before. However, there were as many scholars as crucian carp crossing the river who went to take the examination. However, they were not as vigilant as this scholar surnamed Nie and did not report it. The Imperial City Department has limited manpower and made an oversight. It is also It's inevitable." The regent's eyes were twitching wildly, and he finally stood up to smooth things over and said, "Fortunately, Enke hasn't opened yet, so we still have time to investigate thoroughly and give justice to these scholars... As for those who can no longer be punished, If you are still young and make some compensation, you may not have a chance in the next subject. I wonder what your majesty thinks?"
Chunjia's face was covered by a crown, and as the jade beads flickered, the emperor's thin lips were tightly pursed, showing a bit of coldness. After a while, he slowly uttered one word: "Yes!"
There was a silent sigh of relief in the temple.
So the regent had a brief discussion with Cui Wan and others, and soon decided that the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment would jointly investigate the frequent accidents that happened to poor scholars - including the incident where Xie Fu assaulted the son of an official the day before yesterday - Yushitai and the Imperial City Si Ping, must give an explanation to Shilin.
... After retreating from the court, Chunjia arrived at the Xuanqing Palace before changing his clothes. He briefly explained what had happened, teasing Yun Fenghuang with a smile for missing the mark: "I see Xie Wuzheng. Although he is young, he acts decisively and has a plan." After all, he is a talented person who can stand alone!"
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that this cousin of his is probably more thoughtful than you think, but he just knows about Xie Wuzheng's suspicions and precautions, but he doesn't intend to tell Chunjia, so he follows his words at this moment, He complimented: "It can be seen that Your Majesty is favored by God. My twenty-first brother was quite taciturn at home. Even my cousin, I don't know about his methods. Now that I have come to the Imperial Capital, I have shown my talents." This is all because of your majesty’s deliberate cultivation. Of course, the emperor’s wishes come true.”
You just want to use talents, and this comes out. Doesn’t it prove that God’s will is on you
Chunjia felt happy after hearing this, and gave the right answer directly: "Xie Wuzheng is about the same age as the three princesses, but they are from a humbler background, and there is something wrong with marrying the direct descendant Minghui. When he is named on the gold medal list, Penglai will be promised to him. stop!"
Although he had made it through words before, it was probably a vague promise due to Yun Fenghuang's various entanglements.
But now he said it clearly, which showed his satisfaction with Xie Wuzheng.
Of course Yun Fenghuang knew that this was not only Xie Wuzheng's response to the emperor's request for his sister-in-law, but also because his move directly gave the emperor two excellent opportunities: one was to purge the Imperial City Division; The second is to sell well with Shilin.
The former was because Emperor Xiaozong handed over the Imperial City Division to the regent before his death. Although the Imperial City Division was nominally under the direct control of the emperor over the years, in fact there must be some people like Yi Guogong who upheld the ancestral system and were loyal to Chunjia. , but in general, it still bears the imprint of the regent.
Chunjia had kept a low profile before, so naturally it was difficult to say or do anything.
After taking office, he formed an alliance with the regent, so it was inconvenient for him to openly attack the Imperial City Secretary.
But now, Enke is about to come, and the scholars who are taking the exams have accidents one after another, and the Imperial City Division is still ignorant. For such a big mistake, it is good that the emperor did not let the senior officials of the Imperial City Division collectively apologize. Isn't it natural to carry out some rectification
Even if the regent was unwilling to give in, he could not say anything.
The latter is more stable Chunjia "Mingjun" rumors.
The emperor has spent a lot of effort to build his reputation since he took office, and in his position, it doesn't mean that he can give up his reputation once he has built up his reputation - even the kind of Nine-Five Supreme Being who hangs around in the world and takes life and death, still can't do it. We need to consider the people's support and popularity, let alone Chunjia today
This time, with Xie Wuzheng taking the lead in calling out the grievances, in addition to cleaning up the Imperial City, he might also be able to catch a few political opponents, and at the same time, he can show that the emperor is aware of everything, handles things impartially, values talents, is shrewd and capable... and so on. reputation.
Really appreciate the higher intention.
If Yun Fenghuang were in Xie Wuzheng's place, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do any better.
No wonder Chunjia would make a direct promise.
And Xie Wuzheng's academic performance was not bad to begin with. Otherwise, even with the influence of Xie's family in the North, it would not have been possible for him to be famous at such a young age. If the emperor says this again, Yun Fenghuang will spread it to him later. Who dares not to take the enke in the coming year
The skyrocketing price of Xie's Mentel is a foregone conclusion. Although it will take a few more months to be finalized, if nothing unexpected happens, this wave is stable.
Yun Fenghuang was also happy, and with a smile on his face, Metabolism Wuzheng thanked Mrs. Xie. But at this time, the palace servant came to report again, saying that Liang Fengyi of Taiyin Xiaozhu had something wrong just now, and he had to wait for him. The person told Xie Hengyu and invited a medical woman to go there, suspecting that he was pregnant!
"This is really a double happiness!" Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang quickly sent someone to summon the imperial doctor. After a while, the imperial doctor confirmed the diagnosis. This Liang family is indeed happy. The date was calculated two months ago, so the reason why it was postponed until now Only then did she realize that her menstruation was not very accurate, her status was low, and she did not go to bed often. The palace officials were not too concerned about this, so they asked a doctor to call her, and she said it was an illness. She never expected this. Good thing, I was so happy that I was speechless for a while.
Yun Fenghuang didn't care about this, and smiled and said to Chunjia, "I hope Liang Fengyi, no, it would be best if Liang Yuwan could give birth to a strong heir for Your Majesty."
Chunjia drank the tea calmly and took the opportunity to look at her expression. Seeing that her smile was natural and her expression was pleasant, and she didn't look lonely or sad, she felt a little complicated in her heart: she didn't know how to be happy that the true concubine was not affected by Liang's pregnancy and that she couldn't give birth. As for the sadness, should I still doubt that the true concubine is so generous and not jealous, does she not have a deep affection for herself
"Your Majesty, for such a happy event, how about we go together to announce the good news to our loving mother, the Empress Dowager?" Yun Fenghuang is indeed very happy that Liang is happy. She cannot give birth herself, and there is a possibility that Yi Xingen's baby will be a girl. She has a great temperament, and now that the Liang family is here, even if she is not necessarily a prince, the prince does not cost her money to support him anyway, and she does not need her to take care of him on a daily basis. Naturally, the more the merrier.
But then I thought that the Empress Dowager Yuan was worrying about Yuan Niang, so she pulled Chunjia to act coquettishly, "Let the empress dowager, the loving mother, be happy!"
Chunjia looked at her sideways and said unhurriedly: "Do you want to make your loving mother, the Queen Mother, happy, or do you want me to be your shield from the Queen Mother?"
Don't think that he can't see it. This concubine is simply afraid that after the Queen Mother Yuan learns about this, she will bring it up to Mrs. Chunke to remember the first emperor's heir, so she invites him to come with her so that she can go out and disturb this matter!
"Your Majesty!" Yun Fenghuang's thoughts were seen through, and he didn't care. He simply went up to hug his arm and acted coquettishly, "I'm not saying anything wrong with Mrs. Chunke, but it's not like there haven't been concubines in Huzhu Palace over the years. The emperor's heir, even Mrs. Chunke herself has been pregnant twice! But what's the result? No one has stopped! Your Majesty's knees are still empty now. After all this good news this year, there is still no lively emperor Chenghuan. How can you send someone who has fallen to the knees to take risks in Huzhu Palace?"
Then he muttered, "Mrs. Chunke had to hire an imperial doctor a few days ago. She simply has too much time to take care of herself!"
Why are we talking about taking care of a pregnant concubine, let alone taking care of the emperor's heir in the future
"You always have a point." Chunjia teased, finally agreed and led her to Chunwu Palace.
Empress Dowager Yuan was quite surprised to see them coming together, and even told her something. When she found out that it was because of Liang's happiness, her face did not look very good: "But if a concubine is happy, it is worth the two of you to go there in person." Come on! Why don't we just let the real concubine say it when we say hello tomorrow? The Ai family thought that there was good news for anyone above the ninth concubine."
Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Actually, His Majesty misses you, so he came to tell you the good news in person. I happen to have a few things to ask you, so I didn't follow him out of the blue. ?”
"Now that the queen is ill, you can make the decision on the affairs of the harem." Empress Dowager Yuan smiled slightly and said kindly, "But why bother asking the Ai family again? In fact, the Ai family has never presided over the Sixth Palace, so they may not be able to help you. busy."
"The Queen Mother loves to be humble. I have heard from Your Majesty that when you were in the palace, you were resolute and resolute, and your orders were as expected. In terms of your ability to preside over the palace, you may not be any worse than your mother, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother. "Yun Fenghuang said softly, "No, today is coming. Although there are old rules in the palace, I am thinking that at the beginning of the year, His Majesty took charge personally. This year is different from previous years. Will there be some adjustments to the palace banquet on this day? ?”
Empress Dowager Yuan said sternly: "It is true that the emperor is not what he used to be, and it is indeed inappropriate to follow the old routine."
So the two discussed the changes to the day banquet, and also asked Chunjia for her opinion. Chunjia never cared about these things and basically followed their wishes. So before lunch, Yun Fenghuang and the palace servants stood up and left, leaving Chunjia to eat alone with the Queen Mother.
"Does the emperor often tell the true concubine about our past affairs?" Empress Dowager Yuan and the kind-hearted Tong Chunjia had lunch, took the tea from the palace servant and rinsed their mouths. After thinking for a while, she asked, "the true concubine You are young and have a wild temperament, but can you bear to listen to you talk about these past events?"
Chunjia said gently: "It's not accidental. It's just that the true concubine was in charge of the palace for the first time. Many things were in a hurry and she couldn't help but feel upset. So I met the child and asked twice in private about how the queen mother got started when she was in charge of the palace alone. The child saw that she was very anxious. The white-faced one also mentioned a few words."
"Really?" Queen Mother Yuan smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes, and said softly, "This is a child who loves to learn."
She calmly chatted with the emperor for a while, then sent him away. She no longer tried to hide it when facing Zhan Liu and other attendants, but her face darkened, "Did you hear that just now? This true concubine, I thought she was a woman who knew her fault before. A sensible person who can change, but now her true colors are revealed... How could she ask the emperor about the past and learn from the Ai family's experience? She is simply a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. She uses these words to win the favor of the emperor and inquires about the Ai family. Hobby, has a plan!"
"It's okay if she's like this. After all, she's just a palace concubine, and it's hard to be a great person!"
"But the news was just sent!"
"In the temple, her cousin is also an ambitious man... If this continues, in such a huge harem, who else will be her rival?!"
Empress Dowager Yuan looked gloomy, "Let's just pay for the rest. What happened to the Ji family in the past must not be repeated again!"
