Because the wise concubine was poisoned and her life was in danger, the emperor personally visited the Xuanqing Palace and had no time to attend court for several months. He even summoned the Imperial City Secretary to conduct a thorough investigation... Of course, the former harem paid great attention to such a big matter.
Sun Yu had not yet resigned from the imperial court, and the news of his report had already been known inside and outside.
For a time, the harem was in turmoil, and everyone was preparing for the thunderous wrath of the emperor.
But there was no movement from the emperor that day. At the court meeting the next month, all the ministers were ready for Yan Yin to come and collect the memorials after everyone gathered, but Chunjia came instead.
With a sullen face, he ordered Ping Ping to stand behind him, glanced around the crowd with lightning eyes, and said straight to the point: "The real culprit of Concubine Xian's poisoning has been found."
There was a small uproar in Didong. After Sun Yu's whereabouts came out yesterday, everyone guessed whether the Imperial City Division should have found something and reported it, but they didn't expect that the matter would be brought to the temple to talk about it - but Chunjia After all, he was a loner when he first took office. Now that he had spoken, someone from Didong stood up and asked who the real culprit was.
Many people were filled with righteous indignation and said that there was someone in the palace with such vicious legs as Dong. They were simply crazy and their heart was to be punished. They were absolutely wrong and should not be leniently spared.
Chunjia listened expressionlessly, and after a while, he asked Sun Yu to bring the evidence to the palace.
Whether the evidence was prepared according to his wishes, each piece points to the regent's father-in-law, the former Qingping Marquis Lu Chuncao.
As we all know, Lu Chuncao was born as a servant of Ji Sheng, a commoner, and served Emperor Xiaozong. He had a deep foundation in the palace, and was capable and powerful enough to murder the virtuous concubine.
He had reason to do that. After all, Chunjia had been communicating with the regent during that time, discussing the disposition of his adopted daughter Lu Qidao.
Lu Chuncao and Lu Qidao had a deep love for each other as father and daughter. He felt sorry for his daughter and resented the emperor. Since he did not dare or could not commit regicide, it was not unreasonable for him to take out his anger on the emperor's favorite concubine Yun Fenghuang.
Although Zhichen Tuidi's group of people were very surprised, they saw Chunjia's attitude and immediately stood up and launched an attack on Lu Chuncao - in fact, Lu Chuncao was not in the court at all now. Since he was deprived of his title After that, he began to think about his mistakes behind closed doors.
Originally, Chunjia promised the regent that after a few months, Lu Qidao was dealt with, and then he found an excuse to give him the title.
But because the issue in Lu Qidao was still being debated, the matter was put on hold in Donglai.
Everyone knew very well that the fierce momentum of the crowd in front of them seemed to be directed at Lu Chuncao, but in fact, the real target was the regent.
The officials on the Regent's side showed obvious anxiety and anger. They did not believe the so-called evidence in front of them at all. In their opinion, Nao Chunjia had colluded with Concubine Xian and was framed by the Regent.
One after another, some people stood up and argued.
