"Okay!" Chunjia saw that the two important ministers were at loggerheads and seemed to be about to quarrel on the spot. He frowned slightly and shouted, "I have called you here to discuss matters! If there are any grievances, let's discuss them outside the imperial study!"
After all, Duke Yi Guo and Yin Qu were still wary of the young and powerful emperor. After hearing this, they did not dare to continue arguing. They glared at each other and turned away.
Chunjia looked solemn and asked Ouyang Yanran, "What do you think, Aiqing?"
Ouyang Yanran pondered for a while and said cautiously: "The matter is serious, so I dare not speak nonsense. However, I thought that the traces of the person who murdered Princess Yushan before were difficult to trace, and the whole process was very quiet... But with this incident , the style is different.”
The implication is that he does not think that this incident is the same as the real culprit behind the murder of Princess Yushan.
After hearing this, Duke Yi Guo's face softened slightly and he said to Chunjia: "Your Majesty, the Queen and the Queen searched the palace before and found some items in Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing's palace, so they were suspected to be the murderers of Concubine Wan. But in fact, they were the murderers. , there is no considerable enmity between the second concubine and the noble concubine. If the noble concubine makes a mistake, what good will it do to these two empresses? It can be seen that those so-called credentials are simply framed. At that time, the empress searched six Palace, but we haven’t searched the Xuanqing Palace where the imperial concubine is! Why not, let’s go and search the Xuanqing Palace now, maybe we can gain something?”
Ouyang Yanran sighed in her heart, feeling that he was simply whimsical.
Sure enough, Chunjia refused, saying that he had been in Xuanqing Palace these days. After the imperial concubine was drugged for premature birth, he personally combed the entire Xuanqing Palace. If there was anything wrong, what happened at that time? It's impossible not to discover it.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The most important thing is that this kind of idle speculation disturbs Yun Fenghuang who is still in confinement. Chunjia estimates that the imperial concubine will make him uneasy!
In fact, the concubine's troubles are okay now, but Chunjia is even more afraid that she will stop making troubles for the sake of the fifteenth prince, quietly put away all the joys and sorrows, and endure the humiliation and be a gentle and gentle concubine.
This made him feel even more distressed.
Duke Yi Guo knew the emperor's thoughts. He was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, as loyal as he is, it is impossible to question the emperor's personal guarantee.
Besides, he wasn't sure whether Xuanqing Palace would find the evidence he wanted to see.
Yun Fenghuang has always been cunning, and the city is deep, so he may not leave such a thing behind... If he can't find it, with the methods of this noble concubine, the Yiguo Palace will probably suffer a big loss.
... In the end, the result of the discussion between the emperor and his ministers that day was that the Gu family was ordered to give certain compensation to the Meng family and the Luo family. The emperor personally dismissed the queen's suspicion of Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing, and at the same time gave Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing a reward to appease her.
These are actually nothing.
The most important thing is that the emperor decided to summon Uncle Zhaowu back to Beijing to resume his duties.
When Mr. Gu heard this instruction, his heart sank!
After all, many important officials and generals in the history books died like this.
The emperor politely said that there is something you need to come back to discuss in person... It might be over when you come back.
But if you don't come back, you will have a disobedient heart.
If you can't kill the deity, it's natural to kill his relatives.
Even after killing the deity and then killing his relatives, this kind of operation is not unheard of.
In short, although there had been various disagreements between the emperor and the Gu family in the past, with the mediation of Mrs. Gu and the emperor's patience, the danger was finally averted... This time the emperor opened his mouth, but he obviously did not intend to endure it anymore.
Mr. Gu moved his lips a few times, but he did not dare to say that Uncle Zhaowu was still leading troops in Weihe. It was really taboo to change generals before the battle or in a foreign country.
Although this is true, at this time, as the father of Uncle Zhaowu, when he said this, he was very suspected of trying to tactfully disobey the holy order.
Rounding it all off is that Mr. Gu has different intentions.
Mr. Gu finally trembled and accepted the order on his son's behalf, and resigned with deep thoughts.
Others can't leave easily. After all, if Uncle Zhaowu comes back honestly, this matter will be better; if he has doubts and doesn't come back, then...
It’s really hard to say.
It might be a turmoil.
Not just the temple, there might even be a war.
Marquis Jingning was sent to Yanzhou, saying that he was stationed at the border on behalf of Uncle Zhaowu. How could he know that it was not for now
Moreover, Duke Yi was still a little suspicious. Was Chunjia so moved by the concubine's misfortune that she planned to abolish the direct lineage and establish a concubine
... Yun Fenghuang herself would not have such a beautiful imagination. Naturally, she could not find out the contents of the secret discussions between the monarch and his ministers after the end of the dynasty, and she did not know that she was also on the list of suspects.
After listening to the court meeting, he thought for a long time and then asked someone to inform Concubine De: "The eldest princess of Dongxing has been delaying for a long time without giving an explanation. The heads of the Meng family and the Luo family have all come forward, and there is no further movement. I'm afraid Your Majesty will be punished."
After hearing this, Concubine De did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent her confidants out of the palace to report to her grandmother.
The eldest princess of Dongxing had a headache when she heard this: "This... has the noble concubine ever asked whether your majesty trusts or distrusts the queen?"
The confidant was confused: "The imperial concubine didn't say anything."
Concubine De's stepmother happened to be waiting on her side. She sounded anxious and couldn't help but said, "Can I ask the concubine again to find out more about her?"
"Madam, I don't know that the imperial concubine is still in confinement. Because the imperial concubine was born prematurely and was almost killed by an adulterer, Your Majesty personally ordered the Sixth Palace not to disturb the imperial concubine too much these days." A confidant said helplessly, " As for our empress, we should have a good relationship with the imperial concubine. Only when the imperial concubine gives her personal orders can we go and sit down occasionally. Since the imperial concubine has not said anything at the moment, if we ask again, we may not be able to ask. Maybe, even more The imperial concubine thought it was a disturbance, this..."
The eldest princess of Dongxing sighed, stopped her step-daughter-in-law and said, "The imperial concubine is not easy to get along with! It's rare that Hengyan can get along harmoniously with her all these years... No matter whether the imperial concubine really didn't find out what your majesty meant, or she did find out but was trying to manipulate her. My Majesty, the tip-off this time does make sense. Since Your Majesty has entrusted me with the mission, I have been without an explanation for these many days, which is really not what it looks like! Well, I will go into the palace to face the Holy Spirit later. Report this matter. In any case, as his aunt and grandmother, I am a serious clan elder and have always been docile and obedient over the years. Even if he wants to take action against his clan members, he should not come to me!"
The juniors present were a little unbearable: "Grandma, why don't we go?"
"The mission is for me, what are you going to do?" The eldest princess sighed in disinterest, "After all, this matter involves the Queen and the King of Chu. Do you have the qualifications to investigate these two people?"
In the final analysis, she was entrusted with this job because of her status as the emperor's aunt.
The eldest princess of Dongxing thought about it, and finally, when she saw Chunjia after a long while, she reported: "...there is indeed something fishy about the queen's actions! But I am stupid, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the queen murdered Chu. king."
She couldn't tell what the emperor was thinking and didn't dare to give a definite answer.
At this moment, combined with the revelations of Montessori and Luo Shi, as well as some of the previous circumstantial information, a "thorough investigation result" that looks like it is given.
As for the conclusion, let Chunjia make it himself.
Chunjia was silent for a while, said a few words of gratitude for her hard work, and then let her go.
The eldest princess of Dongxing was secretly relieved when she saw this, but also a little scared.
She could see that the emperor had not made up his mind at the moment. Did Gu Zhen murder the King of Chu
It's no wonder that the former harem has been uneasy recently, and the situation is constantly changing every day. Even if the emperor is shrewd, he still has to deal with it in a hurry... It's a good thing that she kept an eye on it and didn't give a straightforward answer.
The thoughts of the eldest princess quickly reached Yun Fenghuang's ears, and the imperial concubine hummed softly: "Old fox!"
But not in a hurry.
Because she speculated that when Chunjia handed over this mission to Dongxing, it was definitely not because there were too few people in the clan who had sufficient status and happened to be in the imperial capital. After counting, Dongxing was the most suitable.
This cooking somewhat influenced the considerations of some clan members.
The clan members of Guochao have generally been relatively honest over the years.
There was no way, Shenzong's dynasty was full of blood and the lessons were too profound. When the Ji family was in charge, they also suppressed the vassal kings everywhere.
Even Princess Dongxing, who was favored by Emperor Shizong, had been cautious for decades, let alone other royal relatives.
Of course Chunjia would not inexplicably target these clan members who had not explicitly targeted him yet, but the death of Princess Yushan... must be a thorn in the emperor's heart.
If it was really because of the Zheng family's grievances against Princess Yushan, it would be fine. If not, then... Chunjia, and Chunjia's heirs, wouldn't they all be in danger
Although none of Chunjia and his subordinates have yet encountered an attack like Yushan's, since ancient times, one can only commit a thief for a thousand days, so how can one guard against a thief for a thousand days
After Yushan left, the most likely speculation was the grudge caused by Shenzong's massacre of his brothers and sisters.
And if this is really the case, then under the circumstances at that time, being able to help the relevant people hide and hide among the nobles of the clan, and being able to kill the little princess... It is difficult for the clan not to have an insider.
After all, Shenzong killed too simply back then.
The close relatives, excluding Dongxing and a few other sisters who were not closely involved, were all sent to see Shizong.
These gangsters who are brothers and sisters are also treated like the Nine Clan.
Chunjia once asked people to check, and now the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty can't find anyone closely related to the families who were massacred at that time... At least, there is no one on the surface.
Even the Imperial City Division reviewed the case files from that year, which showed that Shenzong had asked the then Imperial City Division to secretly investigate, and those who had secret friendship connections were not spared!
In other words, it is reasonable for clan members to interact with the main clan. Therefore, as long as they have not clearly stated their support for Shenzong's enemies, they have not been affected.
It was possible to hide this from the Imperial City Division at that time.
"Although King Chu's status in Your Majesty's mind has been greatly reduced since he became an idiot, he is still the first legitimate son, and he should have been the legitimate son that Your Majesty is most satisfied with." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said slowly, "His Silly, he should have a relationship with the queen! Since the eldest princess of Dongxing refuses to help me, then we will do it ourselves!"
All in all, she would pin this crime on Gu Zhen no matter what!
