As a veteran of two dynasties, Ouyang Yanran has experienced ups and downs. He is not a sophisticated person, but he is more than smarter than Duke Yi.
Those words sounded like they were for the sake of Empress Dowager Yuan, but they actually suggested that Chunjia Qiangang be arbitrary, lest the emperor would relent at that moment, and wait until the Empress Dowager was in front of her... Empress Dowager Yuan would not deny anything silly and sweet, she would be willing to admit it Is Dong Na guilty? Don't cause any more trouble then.
Is it possible that the imperial court will lose face in the East next year
"..." Chunjia hesitated after hearing this.
Ouyang Yanran kept up his efforts and persuaded: "Your Majesty, Dongfang, besides, the matter has already been made known to both the government and the public in Dongfang. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, dragging it to Dongfang may also hinder the reputation of our loving mother, the Empress Dowager?"
Substituting a false foundation, using a baby boy to pretend to be the princess, and raising him to the queen's knees... If the court is announcing that the eighth prince is indeed the heir, then this matter will be over
Ever since the public heard the news about farmers filing imperial petitions in the palace, during those confinement days, were there any speculations or rumors
Queen Mother Yuan, this was suspected early on.
After all, as the biggest supporter of the Yuan family, how could she be able to completely get away with matters related to the Yuan family
What's more, there may be people there who are deliberately adding fuel to the flames...
In short, the ministers do not want Chunjia to feel weak and have to deal with the matter as soon as possible.
After all, there was more than just one trouble in front of them.
Where is all that time spent wasting away there
The most important thing is that those important ministers thought that the Empress Dowager Yuan was not very good. They felt that the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Empress Dowager Qu were both elders of King Fuyang and not the wives and concubines of Xiaozong. Why? Have you been living in the palace forever? The whole lineage of King Fuyang has established an heir to the east! Those two people who know the rules should go back to Fuyang County to spend their confinement instead of making trouble with the concubines in the palace!
If such a big mistake had been made, to be honest, it was not the protection and filial piety of Empress Dowager Yuan that Chunjia had received over the years that allowed the important ministers to acquiesce in exposing Empress Dowager Yuan.
Otherwise, she would be the one who bears the brunt of Ru Ming's suspicions!
"What do you think should be dealt with?" Chunjia's face was as dark as water, and his thoughts were spinning. After a moment, he asked in a deep voice.
Ouyang Yanran said calmly and calmly: "For such crimes, it is okay to seize the nobility and punish them!"
Duke Yi Guo looked at Chunjia's expression, thought for a while, and said tentatively: "If Your Majesty doesn't have mercy, can you open the net a little bit?"
It was a rare occasion for him to flatter the emperor, but he had no other thoughts. He simply felt that the two months in Chunjia were hard enough.
There were too many cowards in the former harem.
Although a lot of ministers were unlucky, and those who were left from the East were also on tenterhooks, but the one who was most worried was undoubtedly the emperor.
"How can one be open to such a big thing?" Ouyang Yanran vetoed it as soon as he finished speaking, and said sternly, "Bidong has already said it, but the matter is so big... If we hadn't shown favoritism and condoned the past, then Who will be able to fear the Heavenly Family in the future? In my opinion, not only should we not be open to one side, but we should deal with it seriously and set an example to others!"
Ouyang Yan Qunling would try to figure out Chunjia's thoughts, and Duke Yi and others were a little startled when they saw this.
After all, everyone can see that the emperor doubts the Empress Dowager Yuan and cannot bear to disgrace the Empress Dowager. Furthermore, the Yuan family cannot bear to do so.
Under such circumstances, they tacitly avoided the empress dowager and discussed with Yuan Xianfei and Xingning Bofu. Although they could take a step back, they could still cut through the mess quickly.
At that time, Ouyang Yanran said this... If the emperor can't change his mind, then why don't he hold off
"Bidong, it is not a trivial matter to confuse blood. It is not a matter for Bidong's family, it is also related to the foundation of Gongxiang's ancestors." Ouyang Yanran ignored the gazes of Duke Yi and the others, and went to Tong Chun to care for himself. Jia said, "How can we downplay the past just because of Bidong's selfishness? Even if something similar happened to the Tian Family or an ordinary family, we would just let it go."
Hearing this, Duke Yi was very thoughtful, and Yin Qu came to his senses and seconded: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yuan Xian brought her back to the palace to pretend to be a prince, and even sent her to the empress's knees to raise a boy through her loving mother, the Empress Dowager. Is this the blood of the Yuan family? That alone shows that the Xingning family is crazy! Bidong has always been kind to the family, but they actually repaid the family with kindness. I don’t know how many illegal things the private family has done, and they have failed to live up to the emperor’s favor!"
Although the other courtiers were not completely offended, the Meiji family, Ouyang Yanran and Yin Qu both spoke up, and generally speaking they would not be wrong!
Even if they were wrong, those two were the first to be unlucky anyway.
The honest Duke Yi Guo was once again reduced to making the final statement: "... Your Majesty... Second the motion."
He felt a little helpless and aggrieved, and glanced at Ouyang Yanran with a bit of resentment.
Anyway, having been ministers of the same court for so many years, the relationship is pretty good.
I have an idea, why don't I remind him
Every time I see him falling behind at the beginning, we have finished all the nice things to say, and he... He is also under a lot of pressure, okay!
However, Ouyang Yanran had no time to pay attention to him at the moment, but took the lead and knelt down on the ground, asking Chunjia to plan for the country and the clan, so as to prevent his loving mother, the Empress Dowager, from being suspected of being involved, and to deal with Xingningbo Mansion seriously. , is it a must-see or a must-do
When things got there, no matter how stupid the minister was, he came over. In fact, Chunjia didn't want to let go of the Yuan family.
The reason why I was hesitating was whether I could put on a show, and it was very possible that I could show it to my loving mother, the Empress Dowager.
At that time, an old minister like Ouyang Yanran stood up and begged him resolutely not to be lenient, but to cater to the holy will.
Sure enough, Chunjia was "forced" by a group of courtiers to kneel down for a moment, and tried to argue a few words. After being rejected by Ouyang Yanran with good reason, Chunjia let out a long sigh and said rather "helplessly": "In this case, I... naturally don't dare to break the national laws and family rules for my own selfishness!"
"Your Majesty, the Holy Ming of the East!" All the ministers went to kowtow.
The emperor cried out in frustration, and then considered with them, how to deal with Xingningbo Mansion
Although no one in the Yuan family was looking for a job, after all, they were from the Empress Dowager's natal family, and they had been Chunjia's direct relatives for more than ten years. It was okay for the emperor to ask for a favor, but there had to be a reason.
Especially if the Eighth Prince's matter was transferred to the east, wouldn't it mean that if the Yuan family were to be attacked at that time, there would be three hundred taels of silver in this place
"Your Majesty." Ouyang Yanran suggested to follow Ji's example and find other reasons to take care of that family. But there is a disadvantage in doing so, because Ji's side has already done it once, and something similar will happen again. As for the legs, there are so many people in Tiandong that there are always some smart ones. If you are not sure, please find out the truth. And the speed is also slow... Ji's reputation has been tarnished first, and within a year and a half, it's not easy to completely reject the honors originally awarded to Ji's
Seeing Chunjia pondering, the ministers also helped meditate. At that time, Yin Qu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty once said that month that the capsize of the boat on which the two empress dowagers and the twelve princes were riding was caused by the Queen. The empress has personally investigated thoroughly, but I don’t know if Ru Ming has any clues?”
Several colleagues frowned and looked at him when they heard this.
I think that guy is too ignorant.
The Eighth Prince's case is so unresolved that I'm going to stimulate the Emperor
Am I afraid that it will be too easy for us to meet each other during those few months
Chunjia listened, her expression became cold, and she said calmly: "I have some news... What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, I wonder if this matter is related to Uncle Xing Ning's Mansion?" Who knew that Yin Qu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "After all, it was Uncle Xing Ning who brought this matter to the temple in the first place! As we all know, the loving mother Emperor The Empress Dowager made the mistake of being very strict with the Yuan family. If the Empress Dowager knew about the Yuan family's stealing dragons and exchanging phoenixes, the Empress Dowager would definitely not be lenient! Although Xing Ningbo was not the direct brother of the Empress Dowager, but as the saying goes, a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry. Is it possible that the eighth prince’s life experience was inadvertently discovered by the empress dowager... Xing Ningbo was afraid of the consequences, so he took advantage of the palace change to poison the empress dowager’s leg? "
"As for the Queen Mother and the Twelve Princes, were they accidentally injured because they happened to be in the same boat with their loving mother, the Queen Mother?"
Outside the royal study, the emperor and his ministers were speechless for a moment.
That's just nonsense...
After all, if nothing else, just say that the Xingning Bofu has the ability to extend its legs into the Taiye Pond to harm people
Most likely, the eighth prince was sent to the queen to be raised early in the morning under the arrangement of his loving mother, the queen mother. After that, the queen mother basically never saw his grandson. In that case, how could she discover that there was something wrong with the Eighth Prince's life experience? Then what the Queen discovered was very similar!
but…
Ouyang Yanran and other ministers looked at Yin Qu a little strangely. Is that old man... really protecting the calf
As for the seventh prince in the imperial concubine’s lap, is he really going to fight for it!
Every word of those words seemed to excuse the empress dowager, a loving mother. The most brilliant thing was that they catered to the emperor's desire to protect the empress dowager Yuan but not the Yuan family.
Very cocoa was accepted by the emperor.
Of course, after the incident, Empress Dowager Yuan hated Ke Ke for a long time.
Or maybe he provoked Empress Dowager Dingyuan!
"...I will investigate thoroughly." The emperor pondered for a moment, looked deeply at Yin Qu, and said quietly, "If there is nothing else to do, let's retreat to the east first. I will think about it carefully."
When the ministers saw this, they asked what Bu Shen was thinking, and they resigned without any time to leave.
After they all left, the emperor leaned on the throne and overlooked the spacious royal study. After a while, he sighed softly and asked, "How are the two empresses Ru Ming?"
The two queen mothers, Ruming, were resting.
At least that's not what the outside world says.
Chunjia thought twice and decided to go see Queen Mother Yuan before.
Queen Mother Yuan just woke up from her sleep after saying no, her pale red face looked very weak.
She seemed to be mentally ill, and her voice was clearly out of breath.
"The queen is about to have a good life, and she has a child for other things." Seeing that situation, Chunjia felt generally relieved, watched her close her eyes, and then left.
After he left, Empress Dowager Yuan immediately opened her eyes with a complicated look in her eyes: "The Yuan family is afraid that they will not be able to survive the disaster of Bu Nao."
Zhan Liuqiang smiled and said, "Bidong didn't forget to visit you at that time. How could he?"
"It's a bit hopeful that he won't come. Why do I think he came?" Empress Dowager Yuan sighed weakly, "He is somewhat thinking about old feelings, but that's it. So before making a decision, I have to worry about it. If you can't bear it, come over to see the Ai family, stay with the Ai family, and do your best to fulfill your filial piety. Whether the Ai family appreciates it or not, at least he feels much more comfortable in his own heart."
"My dear, don't be like that. Your Majesty will always remember you in his heart."
Empress Dowager Yuan said: "That's all... Ru Ming of the Ai family can't control him anymore. Even if he tries his best, he may not be willing to listen... If the Yuan family collapses, it will collapse. The Ai family is not dead, and the emperor will not destroy the family... What's left is Those who come from the east, if they ask to see the Ai family in two months, I will ask them to pack their things, go back to Fuyang County, and never come out again after I return to the Ai family. God wills that the Yuan family will have the blessing of being a famous family in the county. Ze, but why force it?"
She was already prepared to accept the bad news, but she didn't expect that when the imperial edict came, it would be worse than expected.
According to Yin Qu's suggestion, Chunjia directly blamed the Xingningbo couple for the boat's overturn. He said that the couple were crazy and because of their lack of talent and knowledge, they repeatedly asked for official positions and titles from the Queen Mother, but the upright and selfless Queen Mother refused. , instead of thinking about his own faults, he grew evil and bold, taking advantage of the palace upheaval to murder the two queen mothers and the twelve princes!
And because those three people were not dead, Xing Ningbo and his wife were so frightened that they kept doing anything and used the imperial concubine as a shield!
This series of operations will not be as powerful as the emperor's grace unless he is punished by his clan.
