Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 779: Marquis of Yongchun

Views:

Several ministers who were focused on softening their cheeks suddenly glared at him!

Who is this

Do you have a brain? !

The emperor didn't speak for a long time

It wasn't the first day he served the emperor. Could it be that Chunjia's silence was acquiescence that they could say whatever they liked? !

Maybe they are planning to have fewer people in this court!

If you continue to make trouble at this time, no one will be able to please you!

Let's leave the show and let the chamberlain and the harem persuade His Majesty to calm down. Wait for him to calm down before any intrigues arise. Don't involve innocent people, okay?

"Everyone, is what the official said wrong?" The person who spoke was very young, and his official position was not high. At least in front of important ministers like Ouyang Yanran and Duke Yi, he might not be qualified to speak.

But he just stood up and held his head high without any fear!

Facing the glares of the temple giants, he looked calm and asked loudly, "Isn't it the first thing that should be blamed on Uncle Xingning for what happened today? The dignified earl, the younger brother of the Queen Mother, is like an ignorant market man who follows the wind and rains. There is nothing wrong with him. There is no trace of the decency a royal relative should have!"

He even stood out from the crowd and raised his hands to the top of Danqi, "Your Majesty Nie Bochen impeached Uncle Xing Ning. I have been crazy for many years, but my virtue has not improved. So much so that today I am gullible, pretending to discuss the harem, disrupting the temple, and alienating the royal family... It has been lost. His status as a relative of the country also makes people panic, he is really a person who lives in a corpse position and eats nothing!"

The corners of the ministers' mouths twitched. For a moment, they didn't know whether to admire his boldness or to resent his ignorance.

Uncle Xingning's face turned purple, and he was obviously very angry!

"Your Majesty, I... I'm guilty!" But after thinking for a moment, he stooped down, fell to the ground again, and choked, "I... am guilty!"

Although Nie Bochen was obviously adding insult to injury... one thing he was right about was that today's incident was such a big fuss that it could not be revealed by the emperor and his ministers tacitly saying that they must have some secrets and discuss it another day.

No matter what, the culprit must come out, even if it is a symbolic punishment, so that the civil and military dignity of the dynasty can be perfected.

Originally, Xing Ningbo was ready. After the ministers persuaded the emperor to calm down, he and Yin Qu began to compete with each other to see who could dump the blame faster.

Who knew that Nie Bochen suddenly appeared and put a pot on his head suddenly!

If Yin Qu had said it, he could have torn it back, but it was Nie Bochen who said it. How could Xing Ningbo tear it apart? Regarding identity, status, and the relationship with the imperial concubine, Xing Ningbo said that Nie Bochen was the culprit of today's disputes, but no one believed it.

The most important thing is that if he continues to argue with Nie Bochen, Chunjia from above may be unable to hold back and unleash his thunderous wrath!

Therefore, even though he was filled with resentment, he still knelt down obediently and confessed his mistake.

"From now on, the Gu family will conduct a thorough investigation on the palace incident; the Imperial City Department will conduct a thorough investigation on the Zheng family; the eldest princess Dongxing will conduct a thorough investigation on the events before and after King Chu's illness; Duke Xiangzhen will be granted the title of Marquis of Yongchun, and he will go to Wannian County with his imperial guards to conduct a thorough investigation. Life experience of the Eighth Prince!" Mianqi lowered his head. The courtiers below could not see clearly the emperor's face. They only felt that it was as hard as it had been for thousands of years. In fact, it only took a few breaths. Chunjia tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingers and said casually, "As for The drowning of the two empress dowagers and the twelfth prince will be investigated thoroughly by me and the empress personally!"

The ministers were silent for a while, and then they all said yes.

The emperor didn't care, he just raised his head slightly, looked at Gu Zhen, and said calmly: "What do you think, the queen?"

"...I obey." Gu Zhen opened her mouth. She was really unwilling to not see Empress Dowager Yuan and Concubine Min unlucky on the spot.

And the eighth prince's life experience...how to put it? She was not prepared at all and this happened.

This made the queen feel empty. She was not only afraid that she had fallen into a trap, but also worried that the eighth prince was indeed the emperor's flesh and blood. Not only would Empress Dowager Yuan not be implicated, she would also be able to get guilt and compensation from the emperor.

All in all, she was full of confusion. She was pulled by a waiter before she came to her senses, bowed and left.

"This is also the reason why I, the Empress Dowager, and the others cannot completely break up with each other!" In the Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang received the message from the young eunuch running towards him, and sighed softly, "Did you see that? As long as Your Majesty doesn't want to, even if you don't want to, There has been such a big fuss today, and so many sensational things have happened, so let’s just say it’s smooth.”

"Next, as long as Your Majesty makes up his mind, the civil and military officials of the court can almost pretend that they have never heard of these things... Even if there are a few unsighted people who insist on bringing up the old talk, Your Majesty will be able to prevaricate a few words. It’s over.”

"After all, these are internal disputes and a family matter of the Tian family. How can outsiders have much room to comment?"

"Empress, what should we do now?" Zuo Zuo pondered, asking for instructions.

Yun Fenghuang took a breath and said, "What else can we do? Uncle Xingning has already complained to the court. Even if I am not allowed to go to the palace to defend myself, how can I not express my position now?"

She then ordered her attendants to dress herself up, and finally went to Taichu Palace to plead guilty.

"Don't talk about today's matters anymore." Chunjia heard that the imperial concubine was coming and asked her to go in immediately. He had already changed out of his court clothes and was only wearing a 50% new stone green bottomed robe with a hawk's head pattern. He looked a little tired. When he saw Yun Fenghuang come in, he raised his hand to avoid the ceremony. Before she could speak, he said lightly, "You are heavy now, so just take care of yourself first. We can talk about other things after confinement." .”

The grievance that reached Yun Fenghuang's mouth had to be blocked back. She choked and whispered "yes" in a low voice.

The imperial concubine was speechless for a rare moment. Chunjia looked at the memorials piled up in front of her and said warmly: "You should go back and rest first. I have my own opinions on the matters of the previous dynasty."

After a pause, he probably saw that the imperial concubine's face was a little pale, so he couldn't bear it anymore and added hesitantly, "I'll come see you later if I have time."

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs now, so you don't have to be too busy with me." Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly, showing a slightly bleak look, and whispered, "Your Majesty, on the night of the palace change, I was extremely frightened. In addition to thinking about your Majesty, I was also really worried. I can't think of anything else. Not even the Ninth Prince made any arrangements... The boat capsized, and I was also very surprised."

Chunjia listened quietly, with no expression on her face, and said slowly: "I know."

Seeing that he had nothing else to say, Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart and thanked him for his blessings: "Nowadays, everything is complicated, so please put your Majesty's health first."

I can only resign.

When I returned to Xuanqing Palace, I saw that her face was not very good, and she didn't dare to express her anger.

Only Chen Jing stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Mother, I heard that Mr. Nie stood up and spoke frankly today... Do you need a slave to pass on the message?"

"This Nie Bochen, I have an impression. It seems that... he has some relationship with Brother Twenty-one, or is he the same year?" Yun Fenghuang pondered for a moment and said, "In the past, there was Chen Jian, who was the censor and also spoke for me. ...Oh, what a pity Brother Twenty-one!"

Xie Wuzheng was forced to become an official, but so far, she has had no connection with her. The only ministers who stood up to speak for her at critical moments were Xie Wuzheng, the same year.

Even if they may not be purely helping, they are still choices based on the situation. But for Yun Fenghuang, it is a good thing after all.

Imagine that this cousin is still in power, why is she so passive

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Jing said, "Well, you can go back and prepare some things to send over to say thank you for me!"

This was just a trivial matter. Yun Fenghuang had no intention of thinking about it all the time. He then asked Chen Zhu, who had been sent out to inquire about the news: "Does Sun Yu have any explanation?"

"Your Majesty." Chen Zhu stepped forward to salute and said softly, "Master Sun said that the incident happened suddenly. News from all over the place is still gathering and there is no substantial evidence. So he can only speculate based on experience, and may not be able to For sure... Mr. Sun said that they originally blocked Ji Minggan in an urn in Yanling Mansion to catch turtles. But when the palace incident happened, the whole country was shocked... Just now, he received a report that a fire broke out in a house in Yanling Mansion. After putting it out, he found There were four or five charred corpses, all of which could not be identified. Judging from the belongings they carried with them, Ji Minggan was among them."

Yun Fenghuang was slightly startled and said: "So, the palace change... is just a cover? The real purpose is not to do anything to the imperial capital, your majesty, and this palace, but to let Ji Minggan escape?!"

"Master Sun said that this was just his personal guess, one-sided and without any basis."

"He said so, but now that he is asking for help from me, how can he talk nonsense? Moreover, this person was originally an old man of the Imperial City Department. Since His Majesty took charge, he has promoted him to preside over the Imperial City Department. How can he say that with these many years of experience? Will he talk nonsense at a critical moment?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head slightly, his expression became solemn, and he mused, "Ji Minggan... The Ji family has been destroyed for several years, where did he get the ability to incite palace rebellion?"

If the mastermind of Gong Bian is Ji Minggan, and his purpose is to create chaos, even chaos that affects the Imperial City Division, so as to attract the attention of the imperial court and facilitate his escape, then Gong Bian's pedestrians pretend to be high-ranking officials. It is understandable that Men Guizi went all the way south from the North to the Imperial Capital, and was not even discovered when he entered the Imperial Capital, and even got accommodation from the Imperial Army.

Before Shenzong ascended the throne, the Ji family was one of the most prestigious families in the country.

After experiencing the prosperity and wealth of the three dynasties of Shenzong, Xiaozong and Chunjia, it can be said that no one in this world's famous family has a clearer understanding of the ways than their children.

If the remnant of the Ji family wants to pretend to be a noble son of a noble family, wouldn't it be easy for him to do so

But…

Yun Fenghuang always felt that there was something wrong with this. For example, if Ji Minggan's purpose was just to escape, he could even carry out palace affairs, but he still needed such a big fight, as if he was afraid that Chunjia was not determined enough to kill him. , shocking the world? Can the small Yanling Mansion really trap him

"... I remember that the changes in Beidi that year were originally thought to be related to the former Qingping Marquis Lu Chuncao, but later it turned out that the Xingning House was a disservice to Your Majesty?" The imperial concubine thought for a moment and asked the Qing man, "What is the specific Do you still remember the whole story?"

The Qing Dynasty man was startled, and then said: "Your Majesty, my family is not very clear about this matter, just because the family was not directly involved. I only know that at that time, the Ji family was in exclusive power and the regent was in charge. His majesty had the title of emperor but At a loss what to do, Xingningbo Mansion was so anxious that they thought of plotting against His Majesty. As a result, Ji's intentions were discovered and exploited... If His Majesty hadn't been aware of everything, Xingningbo Mansion might not have been able to reach this point. That's pretty much what happened, as for the specific details , the family is mostly guessing, and there is no evidence in many places. To be clearest, it should actually be the Chao family. But as I know, my family’s relationship with the Chao family has not been very good in the past two years. "

Seeing Yun Fenghuang deep in thought, he asked in a low voice, "How about my maid writing a letter to my family and asking again?"

"How can we come back in time?" Yun Fenghuang sighed, "The court meeting has ended reluctantly, but do you think the Mother Queen Mother, the Holy Mother Queen Mother, and the Queen will give up just like that? Just listen. What are His Majesty’s final arrangements in court?”

It was impossible, and she didn't plan to just wait for the emperor to investigate thoroughly and prove her innocence.

The imperial concubine shook her head, but she quickly cheered up and sneered slightly, "It doesn't matter if you don't know the details. In short, Xingningbo Mansion has laid out plans in the North, so that's it!"
