The Zheng brothers were silent after the regent came in. Now they were trembling even more when the emperor saw them.
Chunjia simply had a fit and broke up with the regent on bad terms. He was no longer interested in continuing. He waved his hand and asked Yanyin to say: "Send him to the imperial prison with the imperial city department, summon the three departments to discuss his crime, and pass it on to me." In other words, the regent is my elder and has a deep relationship with the late Emperor Xiaozong. I cannot bear to criticize them harshly. However, these two people are aiding the evil and their intentions are to be punished! We must deal with them severely!"
Yan Yin responded with a low eyebrow, then turned to face the Zheng brothers but was very polite: "Two generals, please!"
The Zheng brothers did not dare to make excuses in front of the imperial attendants, so they went out obediently... Waiting for Yan to lead them out and hand them over to the Imperial City Secretary. When they came back to the palace, they saw Chunjia sitting in front of the imperial desk, squeezing his brows, and seemed a little tired.
He stepped forward and whispered that he had been taken away by the Imperial City Secretary. He pondered for a moment and then said: "The boys outside said that Concubine Xuan just came here, saying that she came on the orders of her loving mother, the Empress Dowager. I just saw her. You were having a seizure, so you didn't dare to stay longer and left."
The emperor has been tired enough for the past two days. Now that the dust has basically settled, it's time to go to the harem to relax for a while.
Chunjia said lightly "Yes" and said: "Prepare the chariot."
Yan Yin quickly made arrangements, but Chunjia had no intention of going to Yanlan Palace. Instead, he ordered, "Go to Concubine Xian."
Concubine Xian was holding the eldest prince in her arms and scolding her in a low voice: "Can Concubine Xuan or the empress dowager enter Huanhua Palace to see the eldest prince cry with her own eyes? If you want to use this as an excuse, just tell the outside world. , why bother pinching him? The child's skin is so tender, look, it's already bruised! This is a prince after all, and I didn't even say that I would be harsh on him, but you can't do it?"
The Qing man knelt down and apologized: "It's my servant who was confused."
"You are confused." Yun Fenghuang said with a cold face, "I know what you mean, that is, I am the most important, and the princes and princesses should stay behind. This is right, after all, you are my own. Human! But you just pinched him secretly and returned it. How could you do that in front of the people who take care of him? Not to mention leaving traces!"
"It must be understood that the first prince is neither my biological son nor my name. There are few people outside who believe that I will treat him sincerely... Now that he is so young and ignorant, the people who serve him see that After seeing your behavior, how can you not feel that I don’t take him seriously and have become more and more negligent since then?”
"When the time comes, I have worked so hard to preserve such an imperial heir, but you are not close to me at all. Is this a good thing?"
Seeing cold sweat break out on Qingren's forehead, he sighed, "That's it, I'll cover it up for you this time. Don't let it happen again. Do you understand?"
He turned to look at Qingdu and said, "Today, all the people who saw you pinching the eldest prince were dealt with, and they said they intended to murder the emperor's heir."
After the matter was settled, someone from the palace came to report that Chunjia was here.
"Why are everyone behind you?" Chunjia asked casually after entering the door, raising her hand to avoid Yun Fenghuang's gift.
"I just came back from the palace in the past two days, so I can't help but have a lot of trivial things." Yun Fenghuang said with a sullen expression, "As a result, the eldest prince was wronged by a little negligence on my part. What about that lowly maid who was just complaining? .”
Chunjia frowned: "Are you wronged? Why have you been wronged, boss?"
Yun Fenghuang snorted: "A piece of my body was pinched. When I asked, no one said it was done, and they couldn't tell who did it. But such a good prince, is it possible that there is an extra mark inexplicably? I am too lazy to follow. They are so verbose, just get rid of them!"
"Those are the people you carefully selected, and you have to deal with them for a while. Can you make up for it?" Chunjia picked up the tea and took a sip, "Just a little punishment. Anyway, it's just a pinch. Maybe it's The eldest child cries endlessly, and the wet nurse is in a moment of impatience, but it’s not intentional.”
What he said was sincere and had no intention of testing. Just thinking that Yun Fenghuang was not the eldest prince's biological mother, she was probably afraid that people would say she didn't care enough about the eldest prince, so she was particularly ruthless.
From the emperor's point of view, it was not a big deal. Dealing with them all would be too drastic and unnecessary.
"You can't say that, Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang frowned, worried that he would get someone in his way, and said quickly, "Although I have a poor relationship with my children, the concubines in the palace are all young, and it is for Your Majesty to spread the branches. Ye. These people who serve the emperor's heirs have been collecting and investigating thoroughly since early in the morning and have never stopped. Once these batches are dealt with, there will be people ready to come up. "
"Actually, I also know that this is a trivial matter. With Your Majesty's tolerance and kindness, I won't care too much about it."
"But your Majesty, please think about it: some people are just mean-spirited. Now that we are being too arrogant, they may become even more lax in the future. What may happen to the prince then!"
"So how can we not give them a long memory? Let them know that even if the eldest prince is still young and can't even complain, he is not someone like their minions who can bully him at will!"
When Chunjia heard this, her heart moved, and she felt that there was something in the words of the Concubine Xian. She waved her hand to retreat and said: "My dear concubine, you must also know what happened in the temple today?"
"After I heard about it just now, I went to the front with Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "I just saw that Your Majesty was busy and didn't dare to disturb you. Speaking of which, I was also afraid. I really didn't expect that my mother, the Empress Dowager, would He could be that kind of person! Fortunately, Your Majesty is aware of everything, otherwise the late Emperor Xiaozong would not be able to rest at ease!"
"This is also because the Skynet is vast and unobstructed. When the late Emperor Xiaozong was in power, he worked diligently and loved the people. God could not bear to cover up the truth of his extinct heir, so the auspicious beast warned and led to this incident." Chunjia said softly, "It's just the regent, uncle Wang, and The late Emperor had a deep brotherhood. He had not said a word in the court before. I thought it was because of excessive grief and anger. Who knew that he had just left the palace after leaving the court and went straight to the Forbidden Army camp to falsely convey my orders... "
Yun Fenghuang was startled and said hurriedly: "Do the people in the Forbidden Army ever believe it?"
Chunjia said softly: "The Zheng brothers are in the camp. Zheng Fengfen has been reading with me. He grew up with me, but he can see the flaws at a glance. But the common man Zheng was also plotted by the Ji family. That was their fault. Brothers and sisters, the two brothers were also confused, and they actually sent troops to make the wrong mistake, and together with the regent, they massacred the entire Ji family... Oh, dear concubine, how can I explain this to the empress dowager and my mother, the empress dowager?"
How to explain
How can we explain it when everyone has been killed
Now that Ji's situation is over, the Empress Dowager and her mother, the Empress Dowager, cannot protect themselves. How can they still explain to you
Yun Fenghuang calmly adjusted his sitting posture to cover up his shock when he heard that the Ji family was slaughtered. He muttered: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother did such evil things. To be fair, why? It’s all the fault of yourself. As for the Empress Dowager, she is a pitiful person. Her biological son was plotted like this, but the one who plotted against him was the daughter-in-law she personally selected, and she is also her biological niece. I thought that I should not tell the news to the Empress Dowager for the time being. The Queen Mother."
"After all, the Empress Dowager is definitely resenting the Ji family and her mother, the Empress Dowager. After all, she is a close relative of the same flesh and blood. How can she not feel heartbroken when she knows that the Ji family is gone?"
"She is old and can't help it."
"It's better to wait for a while before talking about it."
"Just ask her to rest in Qingci Palace first."
The Ji family has just cooled off, but Chunjia, who is so gentle and gentle, destroys the entire family and framed the regent for taking the initiative to falsely pass on the Holy Mandate, and does not touch any blood from the beginning to the end. The Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager will probably not survive. Long.
Therefore, the only remaining empress dowager of the Ji family had to live for another year and a half to clear up the relationship, and it seemed that Chunjia had no intention of not being able to tolerate the Ji family and not being unfilial to the elders of her father's line.
"What my beloved concubine said is absolutely true." Chunjia sighed, "Uncle Wang is my elder. Although he made a big mistake under impulse today, I can't bear to deal with it... But the Zheng brothers are unforgivable. I mean I'm going to kill them as a warning to others. But Zheng Fengsen can't help it. Zheng Fengsen is Yun'an's quasi-consort, and the wedding is coming soon. How should I tell Yun'an about this?"
Yun Fenghuang finally understood why the emperor sent away the regent and the Zheng brothers, and then came to him.
"Your Majesty has so many things to do, why don't I come here to help you take care of this matter." She lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "I usually interact with the eldest princess, and the eldest princess will definitely listen to what I say."
Chunjia laughed and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you, my dear concubine."
After all, the Ji family was massacred that day, and the government and the public who received the news one after another were shocked. Chunjia was very busy, and left after sitting for a while.
As soon as he left, Yun Fenghuang ordered the palace people to call Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui, and told them about the demise of the Ji family, and then said: "Your Majesty means that the Empress Dowager is old. This kind of thing It's better not to spread it to her old man's ears. The Qingci Palace must have received His Majesty's advice. But His Majesty's main energy is, after all, in the previous court. In the Sixth Palace, the Queen is now ill, and she will have to pay for it soon. Duke Ye and the others are wearing filial piety and don't take things seriously. After all, we three have to worry about it, but we have to handle this matter well and don't cause any trouble to His Majesty."
Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui both looked pale. Although they were not as scheming as Yun Fenghuang, they couldn't tell that the whole Tu Ji family was actually instructed by Chunjia, or at least tacitly approved of it
Otherwise, how important is the Forbidden Army, how could it be possible for the Regent to pretend to pass on the Holy Order so easily
In other words, if the imperial army was really so easy to use for the regent, Chunjia would not be the one sitting on the throne now.
In their impression, the emperor was always gentle and tolerant, and would quickly restrain himself from occasional outbursts. If it weren't for his preference for Yun Fenghuang, this would really fit in with their imagination of a husband.
Therefore, although Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui were a little in awe of Chunjia, she still maintained some of the romantic feelings of a young girl.
But at this moment, they woke up as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them, and realized that they were serving today's emperor.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses!
Although the entire Ji family and their followers, followers, and servants together did not even amount to ten thousand, a prominent family that had been in power for three dynasties, had three generations of phoenix masters, and was once so powerful that the whole family could hardly breathe, suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye. They were wiped out in ashes, and even except for a few children in other places, not even the infants and female family members escaped. Such a tragic end, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will cause shock in the world.
"...I will obey your Majesty's instructions." The second concubine listened to the Xian Concubine's instructions with some concern. After a while, she finally recovered and agreed with a pale face, "I must keep a close eye on the people in the palace and don't allow them to do so." Talking nonsense.”
Concubine Xuan asked again, "Would you like to keep an eye on Yanfu Palace?"
"Please stay in the Yanfu Palace to rest, and don't go out at will to avoid aggravating your condition." Yun Fenghuang glanced at her, and unsurprisingly saw the secret joy and ambition in her eyes, and said lightly, "Your Majesty, now There are so many things going on, but for such a trivial matter, let’s wait until His Majesty is free before asking for instructions.”
After dismissing the second concubine, Yun Fenghuang was silent for a long time before asking someone to invite Princess Yun'an.
