"What happened to the royal mausoleum?!" Chunjia put down the chopsticks and asked in a deep voice!
Fuyang County was granted to the ancestor of Chunjia's biological father at the founding of the People's Republic of China. Naturally, the only royal tombs recognized by this dynasty are those of the ancestors of Fuyang County.
Although Chunjia has been adopted by Xiaozong and is only a distant relative to King Fuyang in terms of legal tradition, he is still related by blood. At this time, it is also important to "death as life". How can you not care about the changes in the royal mausoleum
The chamberlain lay on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the royal mausoleum... for some unknown reason, less than half of the royal mausoleum collapsed!"
"How can such a big thing be justified?!" Yun Fenghuang frowned and scolded, "Where are the mausoleum guards? There's no explanation?!"
The waiter said in an unintelligible voice: "The rumor... the rumor collapsed overnight. That night... there was a thunderstorm that night!"
Now the expressions of the two emperors and concubines became even more ugly: it was already troublesome enough that something went wrong in the Shan Wang Mausoleum, coupled with the fact that it was destroyed by a lightning strike, one wonders how many ministers were already writing furiously on the table all night long.
At the court meeting tomorrow, I'm afraid Chunjia will be overwhelmed by the memorials sent for this matter!
But that's not the most important thing.
The most terrible thing is that the Fuyang King lineage has only been passed down for several generations. After Chunjia succeeded Xiaozong, there was no male heir in this lineage!
Normally, it would be just a matter of paying off, but now that the royal tomb has collapsed, no matter how big or small the deal is, descendants need to come and offer sacrifices to Shang Xian in person, so that the spirits of their ancestors can rest in heaven.
This can be easily solved. The worst thing is to temporarily select one of the distant relatives from the clan to adopt him into the lineage of King Fuyang. But the key point is that when Chunjia's successor Xiaozong came to the imperial capital from afar, the reason why Princess Kunze, the Queen Mother of Yuan and Queen Mother Qu, was able to follow her, and even got the special title of Jin, was because the lineage of King Fuyang was born in Chunjia. There were no more heirs.
The orphaned girl and widowed mother had no choice but to live in the palace.
Now if an heir is born in the lineage of King Fuyang, then regardless of whether the heir is an adult or not, will Empress Dowager Yuan and Queen Mother Qu, who was a concubine of Prince Fuyang rather than a concubine of Xiaozong, have to go back to Fuyang County and live with the heir
If you think about it this way, there is no need for a thorough investigation. The imperial concubine can already think that the incident in the royal mausoleum is probably caused by the Ji family!
but…
No evidence.
After all, as long as the initiator of such a big thing is not out of his mind, how can he leave any evidence
It is said that all the people sent out have been silenced.
"Your Majesty, as this is a serious matter, it would be better to go to the Jiashan Palace of Chunhuang Palace immediately to report it to the two Queen Mothers." Yun Fenghuang saw that Chunjia's face was ashen and he was silent for a long time. He stepped back and reminded in a low voice, "After all, how can I hide such a thing? I'm afraid that the two Queen Mothers will not be able to bear it after hearing the news."
Let the two queen mothers, especially the loving mother queen mother, pretend to be sick to avoid going to Fuyang County
Chunjia quickly understood what she meant, her eyes showed approval, and then she pondered: "However, if the two queens claim to be ill, they will probably be unable to see anything in the future."
Otherwise, wouldn't Ji have a reason to urge them to set off and not stay in the palace
So even if Queen Mother Yuan and Queen Mother Qu stayed, the effect she would have would not be very great.
Originally Chunjia needed them, especially Empress Dowager Yuan, to help contain Ji's power in the harem and to offset the pressure from the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji to a certain extent - however, a empress dowager who was "too ill to travel far" could do what
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Yun Fenghuang secretly rejoiced in his heart, but said in a deep voice, "With a concubine in the harem, I will not give Ji a chance to have her wish come true!"
Ji is really awesome!
Before, she secretly called this family trash!
It seems that they were wrongly blamed!
Finally, finally, although Empress Dowager Yuan didn't get out, she still had to complain about illness. She was still the kind of person who was stared at by Mr. Ji and couldn't live a normal life under the banner of claiming illness and still criticize her!
When the master tiger enters the cage, isn't it the time for her to show off her talents? !
Moreover, without the help of Chunjia, who is more than a biological mother, how can she not support her as a beloved concubine more? !
the most important is…
Didn't Mrs. Ji pinch her weak point
Hahaha, she will soon be Chunjia's chief ally in the harem, and there will no longer be Empress Dowager Yuan on top. When the time comes, if the Ji family spreads any bad news about her, I'm afraid Chunjia will be more anxious than she is to clean her up. white.
As for whether Chunjia would settle old scores afterwards, she wasn't stupid. Helping Chunjia didn't conflict with her own wings - it's not like her blood relative Xie couldn't help her, right
At this moment, Yun Fenghuang had to recall all the sorrow and pain he had experienced before in order to maintain a heavy and serious expression: "It is a matter of choosing the heir. Please consider it carefully, and be sure not to let the Ji family make the decision. Otherwise, the heir will be chosen." Even if you cannot welcome the two queen mothers to the fiefdom to live in their old age, if you come to the imperial capital in person to open a palace, and you want to take the two queen mothers to the palace to support them in person, your majesty is the emperor and it is not easy to stop them."
After all, Queen Mother Yuan and Queen Mother Qu were just distant siblings of Xiaozong. They complained that they were ill and could not travel far.
If all the heirs rushed to the imperial capital to take care of their heirs, and the emperor still stopped them, this would really be unjustifiable - no matter how serious the illness was, it would not be justified, because the custom at this time was that the old man had to die in his own house in order to have a peaceful and peaceful life. .
Dying in someone else's home is unlucky for the family, and is not a good thing for the old man himself.
Of course, Chunjia could also use the ancestral precept that the vassal king was not allowed to enter or stay in the capital without an edict to stop his heir.
But just like the two queen mothers complaining about illness, it can only serve as a delaying tactic.
After all, at this time, everyone in the country pays attention to filial piety, and if people have to fulfill their filial piety, you, the emperor, will either send their stepmother to reunite with their children, or allow them to come to the imperial capital to fulfill their filial piety... What kind of thing is it to keep separating mother and son according to the law
"...I am determined to choose a younger clan member as my heir." Chunjia also knew this truth, nodded solemnly, and said, "Let's choose someone under seven years old."
At this age, it is enough for someone to take you to the royal tomb and go through the procedures. But he was not old enough to support his mother-in-law alone, so he needed her mother-in-law's protection and guidance.
When the time comes, Chunjia will arrange some personal guidance around him, and the possibility of getting him on his side is still very high.
only…
The emperor was finally angry: "Mr. Ji... I will remember it! If it happens one day..."
He sneered but did not finish, but Yun Fenghuang had already guessed that if the Ji family fell, the ancestral grave would not be preserved...
After all, if Chunjia is generous, she will be punished. She still feels guilty when she thinks back to Jiang's teachings...
"Without further delay, Your Majesty, please go and talk to the two Queen Mothers quickly!" Yun Fenghuang calmed down and persuaded in a low voice, "After all, the two Queen Mothers have been very healthy recently. This is something everyone inside and outside knows."
So even if everyone knows that the two Queen Mothers claimed that illness was a countermeasure after hearing the news, there must be a reason!
When I first heard the bad news, I was so shocked that I became bedridden... Isn't this the reason why it came to my door
If someone else takes the lead and the two empress dowagers reveal their secrets because their acting skills are not good enough, or their reactions are not fast enough, how can they deal with it
"I'll go over first." Chunjia breathed out, shook her hand hard, and whispered, "You just pack up, I'm afraid you have to go there later, and I will tell you to come back to take care of the emperor's heir. When you go, take two sensible concubines with you to fulfill your filial piety."
After all, the two queen mothers suddenly fell ill after hearing the bad news, which would naturally alarm the Sixth Palace. The emperor might not be able to stay at the bedside for state affairs, but the concubines would definitely go to attend to the illness.
Yun Fenghuang nodded: "I understand, Your Majesty, please leave now. I will go there when I receive the news!"
Watching Chun Jia leave in a hurry, she walked into the inner room alone with a sullen face, closed the door and window to make sure there was no one around, and then she laughed happily!
But he was only happy for a moment, and quickly calmed down, regained his heavy expression, walked outside, called Yi Xing'en to him, and said: "Originally, I asked you to serve His Majesty today, but something happened now. Your Majesty is going to Chunnuo Palace... You go and clean up, and you will go there with me later."
She also ordered people to pass Qu Hongzhuan over as a candidate to fulfill her filial piety on her behalf.
Yi Xing'en asked cautiously: "I dare to ask my Majesty, but I don't know what happened. What should I take care of?"
Yun Fenghuang looked at her current attire and said, "Get some fancy accessories, but don't be too plain."
He lowered his voice and said, "I'm just going to serve on my behalf, so it's more convenient for me to serve you."
Yi Xingen quickly blessed Fu and went back to his place to tidy up.
Yun Fenghuang sat down in the hall, pinching his forehead to hide his happiness.
Not knowing her mood, everyone gathered around her to comfort her: "Don't worry, Madam. Your Majesty is wise and mighty. Everything will be fine."
"I can't take it lightly." After hearing this, Yun Fenghuang became alert and thought, "Mr. Ji is not stupid. She knew clearly that touching the royal tomb was a fight to the death with His Majesty, but she still did it. , obviously determined to trip up the two empress dowagers who are on His Majesty's side, how could they fail to consider this palace?"
To put it bluntly, her importance to Chunjia in the harem at the moment is probably even greater than that of Queen Mother Yuan.
Because Empress Dowager Yuan was suppressed by the Empress Dowager above her and held the power by the Empress below, she couldn't actually do much. After all, she couldn't put down her body and personally deal with the queen's affairs one after another - but Yun Fenghuang didn't have this restriction and could charge forward on all kinds of things.
So, no matter considering the overall situation or the hatred these days, how could Mrs. Ji miss her as a good concubine
Yun Fenghuang's eyes were deep: "No wonder Qi Jiulu didn't get into trouble earlier. He didn't get into trouble later. If something happens now, he still has to come to the imperial capital...Ji... This is a two-pronged approach. I am determined to destroy His Majesty's help in the harem!"
At this time, if she still believed that Qi Jiulu was targeted by Luo Tieyi and got into trouble, she would have stayed in the palace for so long for nothing!
"Your Majesty must be informed of this matter immediately, but to be honest, I'm afraid your Majesty will become suspicious again as soon as you count the time." Yun Fenghuang bit his lip, thought quickly, and ordered Qing, "Prince Fuyang There have been changes in the Mausoleum, and the palace and harem will not be peaceful in the future. You will ask people to leave the palace later, go to Brother Thirteen to inform them, and ask them to be careful in their words and actions, and not to set bones in this eye. Add to the chaos!"
Qingren took the order with a serious expression and left.
Yun Fenghuang stared at her back and thought thoughtfully: When the Qing people came back, he would go and tell the emperor. This was just a precautionary measure, fearing that Ji would take action from his natal family and make what happened to Xie Fu last year happen again. Then they arranged for the palace servants to run an errand. Unexpectedly, after hearing about this, the mother-in-law's family immediately remembered and informed Qi Jiulu of the news...
The Xie family and the Qi family lived next to each other in the north, so it was reasonable to know the situation of the Qi family's eldest son.
Originally, since the two families had terminated their engagement, the Xie family would certainly not tell their daughter about the activities of the Qi family's eldest son.
The reason why I brought it up was because I was afraid that it would be related to the incident at the Royal Tomb, and that I might miss something important.
In this way, not only could he avoid the suspicion that he was still paying attention to Qi Jiulu in the palace, but he could also express to the emperor that his brother was astute, intelligent, able to see the smallest things, loyal and decisive, and in short, capable of taking on big responsibilities... The young concubine lowered her eyes and covered her eyes. The thoughts in his eyes, the silk handkerchief in his hand was twisted into a ball: But he doesn't know how Chunjia will treat Qi Jiulu after hearing the news
