"Your Majesty..." Before the words of persuasion from the chamberlains who came in could be spoken, Chunjia had already ordered as if nothing had happened: "I have nothing to do, just pack up everything."
Yan Yin carefully observed his expression and then responded in a low voice: "Yes."
People who can serve in front of the emperor are very nimble and can prepare the dishes in a short time.
Chunjia then waved back, leaving only Yan Yin to stay and serve on the pen and ink, and continue to deal with government affairs.
He seemed to have just accidentally overturned the imperial case, but Yan Yin had been serving for many years and knew it well. The emperor was probably feeling countless turmoils at the moment.
... I don’t know what the loving mother the Queen Mother and the imperial concubine did
Except for these two, it would be impossible for anyone else to make the emperor so angry, so it would be hard to break out immediately.
At the same time, Empress Dowager Yuan was whispering to Zhan Liu: "I'm afraid it's hopeless to deal with the Eighth Prince. In this case, if you can pick one, it's one. If nothing else, at least the title of Count Xingning must be kept." "
A rare title is rare.
For example, the Wei family is still the husband of the eldest princess of Dongxing. They lost their title back then and there is no hope of regaining it.
Queen Mother Yuan did not think that the Yuan family would be luckier than the Wei family.
"The empress dowager, a loving mother, raised your majesty, and the love between mother and son is deep." About that time, Yun Fenghuang slightly raised the corners of his mouth, squinted his eyes, and said lightly, "Even if such a big thing happened today, even if the eighth prince is really not your majesty's Bones and blood, His Majesty can at most punish Xing Ning Bo Mansion, but he will never do anything to the Mother Empress Dowager... The Mother Empress Dowager herself must also know this very well. Her energy now should be focused on Guan Guan Bo Mansion. This is our opportunity!"
There was an undercurrent in the harem of the former dynasty, and it was already a very restless day. But when the palace door was about to be locked, another incident occurred in the harem of the former dynasty: Zheng Ju committed suicide!
This famous and powerful eunuch of the dynasty once worshiped the General of Hussars as the head of the military generals and was in charge of the imperial army. From the emperor to the slaves, the safety of the capital was at his fingertips... Due to the palace incident, The whole family was imprisoned except for the consort of Princess Yun'an. Even so, everyone actually thinks that the worst outcome for him is to be demoted and resign and return to his hometown to retire.
Unexpectedly, it only lasted one day and one night, and everyone was gone.
"It's impossible. How could that old man commit suicide?" The courtiers discussed the news one after another. Yin Qu looked disapproving and said to the elders who came in a hurry, "He has a clear conscience. After the regent leaves, His Majesty Without any control, sooner or later the imperial army will be replaced by his own confidants. Moreover, His Majesty sent Her Royal Highness Princess Yun'an to Zheng Fengfeng, which is a guarantee for the Zheng family. How could the old man not understand the situation and retreat? At this time, don't do anything. Saying that he has no reason to commit suicide at all, even if there is, it is impossible to seek death at this time, isn't this embarrassing to the emperor!"
The king wanted his minister to die, but he had to die. The king did not let his minister die, but his minister died... What does this mean
Are you insinuating that the emperor cannot tolerate his old ministers, or are you using this method to protest that Chunjia replaced him
Zheng Ju is not a stupid young man who joined the officialdom the day before. How could he not understand this
Even if it doesn't matter to him, what about his adopted son, adopted daughter, and grandchildren? Don't want to pass
Therefore, neither Yin Qu nor the ministers thought that Zheng Ju would commit suicide. They all felt that he must have been murdered.
The question is, who could put his hand into the imperial prison and kill an important minister of Zheng Ju's level
Even if he is imprisoned, an important minister is an important minister, and his status is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"... Is it possible that His Majesty is worried and thinks that Zheng Ju would be better off dead?" Someone quietly raised this opinion, "Otherwise, who can attack in the imperial prison? That place has always been under the control of the Imperial City. Without His Majesty's permission, the Emperor Cheng Si is not just for a living."
After whispering, I couldn't find a reliable answer.
At the court meeting the next day, all the ministers felt a little distressed when they saw the emperor's indifferent expression.
After all, this is too annoying!
It’s only been a few days, and there are changes in the palace, divisions in the harem, the emperor’s heirs, and important ministers...
I can't stand it, I really can't stand it.
This is because Chunjia has good health and bones. If it were a weak emperor, he would probably be sick.
The emperor ignored their various looks, and only asked Mr. Gu in a calm tone, had any clues been found about the origin of the rebels
Mr. Gu stepped forward very anxiously and reported: "Your Majesty, I have some clues, but I'm not sure yet. But..."
"In that case, then you can stay for a while after we leave and talk to me in private." Before he could finish his words, the emperor interrupted him and asked about several other government affairs. Then, without giving the ministers a chance to speak, he directly announced To disperse the dynasty.
After that, Mr. Gu, Ouyang Yanran, Yi Guogong, Yin Qu and other important ministers were taken to the imperial study at the back to talk. Young Deng Chengzhai was also among them because he had won the emperor's trust.
"Your Majesty, I have traced this group of people, and it is suspected that... they are related to the remnants of the Ji family!" Mr. Gu bowed after entering the door. When he saw the emperor and the two important ministers looking at him inquiringly, he swallowed and then reported in a low voice, " It’s just that there isn’t much evidence yet, and I don’t know if it’s true or if someone is deliberately using it as a cover-up.”
Although the remnants of the Ji family have enough reasons to plot rebellion and attack the palace, they may not be used as a shield by someone with ulterior motives.
He considered this very carefully. Chunjia didn't say anything. He only said to Deng Chengzhai: "Tell me about what happened before."
Deng Chengzhai cupped his hands and talked in a few words about Ji Minggan's fake death. Of course, he also mentioned that this person had been blocked in Yanling Mansion before and almost fell into the hands of the Imperial City Secretary. As a result, the whole country was shocked after the palace incident. Over there The Imperial City Secretary was also affected to a certain extent. In a hurry, something went wrong and he was asked to fake his death again.
"Your Majesty, there is something fishy about this matter." Where Yun Fenghuang felt doubtful, Old Man Gu also found it unreasonable, "Since Ji Minggan was able to alarm Ouchi, how could he not be able to break through the siege of the Imperial City Department? What a big deal this change is! Is this because the imperial court is not diligent enough in pursuing the remnants of the Ji family?"
You know, because Chunjia gave the Ji family enough honor and glory, the Imperial City Department's pursuit of the Ji family's remnants was naturally not easy to make a big deal about.
This kind of private pursuit was an open secret even to everyone in the court, but it could not stand up to Li Shu's ignorance. The intensity was different from sending out arrest documents and searching everywhere.
Ji Minggan had been blocked before. By using such a method, was he afraid that he would not die quickly enough, or did he have an ulterior motive
Chunjia looked at Ouyang Yanran.
"Nothing has happened in the country in the past two days." Ouyang Yanran thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "I have reminded all colleagues to pay attention to relevant matters."
A group of rebels who were able to deceive the officials and imperial guards along the way, and come all the way to attack the palace, obviously could not do it to die.
Now that they have done this...
There must be a reason worthy of letting these people die and exposing many problems in the country.
Seeing Chunjia's poor expression, Duke Yi Guo thought that he was worried about the matter, and quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty is wise, powerful and in the prime of life. Even if you have one or two clowns, they are nothing to be afraid of!"
The emperor's tone was calm: "Your Majesty, do you think I owe the Ji family?"
"How could your Majesty owe Ji a debt?" Duke Yi frowned and immediately denied it.
Ouyang Yanran even said with emotion: "Your Majesty is of the Gongxiang family's bloodline. The late emperor had no children. For the grand plan, it is the right thing to adopt an heir! Your Majesty succeeded the late emperor and continued the bloodline of the main branch of the Gongxiang family. This matter will be discussed in the future." Lun is the spirit in heaven that comforts the ancestors; Lun is the inheritance of rivers and mountains and the plan for the country. Your Majesty's throne is obtained from the late emperor, from the Gongxiang family, from His Majesty the Taizu Emperor, but with the Ji family, What does it have to do with it?! The Ji family was deeply loved by the late Emperor Shenzong, but instead of serving the country with loyalty, she took advantage of the power of three dynasties, and even caused the late Emperor Xiaozong to die in depression, which was simply crazy!"
"Your Majesty is magnanimous and has given you all the honors, which shows the greatness of His grace and the magnificence of His Holy Heart!"
"Now Ji Minggan does not want to retaliate with kindness, but instead repeatedly tries to do harm to the court. He is simply ungrateful and unworthy of a human being!"
Yin Qu and Duke Yi Guo both looked at him sideways and cursed secretly that this old man was nothing.
You have said all the good things, what should we say
"Your Majesty, Ji is different from your Majesty. As we all know, Your Majesty has always treated Ji kindly. Even though Ji has done all kinds of illegal things, Your Majesty still wants to have a good appearance on the face of the Empress Dowager." Yin Qu is younger after all, and reacted One step faster, he responded quickly, "So speaking of it, it's not that Your Majesty owes Ji, but that Ji owes Your Majesty!"
Duke Yi Guo was the most honest and the worst at flattering people. He choked when he heard the words and said angrily: "... I second my proposal!"
Because of his status and status as the emperor's favorite, Mr. Gu dared not speak until he had finished speaking: "The royal family has shown great kindness to the Ji family. The Ji family has failed many times, which is really shameful! Your majesty is kind and generous, which is really a blessing to the country!"
Deng Chengzhai, who was the youngest and had the lowest official position, coughed dryly: "Your Majesty, what you all said is very reasonable. What the Ji family owes to Your Majesty will never be repaid in a thousand years!"
"..." The emperor looked around and said lightly, "Is this really true?"
"It's absolutely true. Please don't take the Ji family's faults upon yourself! If we trace the root cause, everything is the Ji family's fault. What does it have to do with your majesty?"
Chunjia nodded slightly, but did not say anything more about this matter. Instead, he changed the subject and chatted with them about other government affairs.
After a long while, he waved his hands to dismiss the ministers. Within two hours, some people claiming to be from good families came to Dali Temple to beat drums and complain. They wanted to sue the late Marquis Minyang for robbing civilian girls, occupying ancestral fields, and seeking wealth. Killings, committing crimes, living in a fish and meat village... there are at least thirty to fifty evil incidents, and the ins and outs of each case are clear, and there are many human and material evidences!
The minister of Dali Temple did not dare to neglect and hurriedly sent people to the palace to report.
"The Ji family is my direct cousin, and now it has been destroyed. I really can't bear to disturb Quanxia." After hearing the news, the emperor pondered for a moment and said slowly, "But... what are the people to blame? Forget it, let the minister of Dali Temple deal with it truthfully. "
After hearing this, the Minister of Dali Temple was worried that he had misunderstood the holy meaning, so he quickly visited many old superiors overnight, and finally got some advice. The next day, he was publicly interrogated in front of the people watching the excitement. Dozens of cases were all finalized, and the conclusion was that Marquis Minyang was ambitious and committed many evil deeds in private. However, he had a noble status during his lifetime. After his death, the emperor was deceived by him and was given great honor and sorrow. The sufferer did not dare to say anything.
This time, the victim had the courage to come forward because he had a dream about his family member being killed by Marquis Minyang.
Except for important ministers, the real relationship between the Ji family and the emperor was not very clear to everyone in the government and the public.
Chunjia told everyone that he had a deep relationship with the Ji family, and they both received titles and posthumous titles, so most people believed that the downfall of the Ji family was caused by the regent. The emperor was kind and kind and did not approve of it at all. this matter.
But because the emperor was kind and kind, he was too embarrassed to punish the regent who had a grudge against the Ji family.
It's a similar situation now. This sufferer takes the lead, and more sufferers will appear in the future, one by one, pouring dirty water on the deceased dignitaries of the Ji family.
In this way, people all over the world naturally accepted the "fact" that none of Ji's people were good people.
As for the emperor, the emperor is kind, and they understand.
"Your Majesty probably wants to force out the remnants of the Ji family." In the harem, Yun Fenghuang sighed slightly after hearing this, "It was so violent and rainy at the beginning, I'm afraid there will be even more cruel methods in the future."
For example, in order to show that he had not burned bridges, Chunjia had put a lot of effort into Ji's funeral arrangements.
When the drama of the victim exposing the powerful is almost over, he should also issue an order to take back all the honors. By then, will the regulations on the mausoleum need to be changed? Should the funeral arrangements be changed? Even the grade of the coffin, the shroud... To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of digging a grave.
Those who are still loyal to the Ji family can only imagine their feelings for the Ji family. Can they withstand such stimulation
Chunjia is planning to kill them all!
But this is also a reasonable thing... Yun Fenghuang thought about it and said, "Do you know what your Majesty did and said today?"
Just as he was about to answer, Chun Jia's plain voice suddenly came from outside: "Ahuang is thinking about it so much, why don't you ask me yourself?"
Yun Fenghuang was startled when he saw the palace door being pushed open, and the two palace maids who were originally guarding outside were kneeling on the ground, looking anxious and hesitant to speak.
Chunjia didn't even look at them, he strode in, walked quickly to the hall, turned around, waved his sleeves, and said in a cold voice: "Everyone, get out!"
The attendants subconsciously looked at Yun Fenghuang, and when they saw her nodding slightly, they bowed and stepped back with different expressions on their faces.
"Why is Your Majesty here now?" Yun Fenghuang composed himself, stepped forward with a smile and saluted, and said softly, "I thought that you must be busy with government affairs today, so..."
"Ahuang." Chunjia sat down at the table and looked at her intently. His eyes were heavy and it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger. He interrupted, "Ahuang, ask yourself, how have I treated you in the past two years?"
