Yun Fenghuang even felt that something was not right about someone speaking to Zheng Ju at this moment, and Chunjia naturally would not ignore this suspicion.
He promised at the court meeting to come down and conduct a thorough investigation... In fact, this promise had been made before, but due to one incident after another, Zheng Ju was imprisoned before his death, not to mention that everyone was gone, except for the consort Zheng Fengfeng among his descendants. There was really nothing worth paying attention to outside, so I just dragged it off in a daze.
In short, the emperor was perfunctory and then ordered the Imperial City Secretary to thoroughly investigate the ministers who proposed to investigate the truth behind Zheng Ju's death.
So I got a bunch of evidence of corruption and bribery.
The emperor was naturally very angry. He was not angry at the corruption and bribery of these ministers. This was to be expected. And to put it bluntly, at the level of Chunjia, one could not say that he was indifferent to ordinary corruption and bribery, but he was also There won't be any ups and downs in the heart, unless this kind of corruption has caused extremely serious consequences. What really made him angry was that Zheng Ju, as a powerful eunuch, had climbed up the ranks step by step in the palace, and finally reached the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army and General of the Hussars... Yes, Zheng Ju was in charge of the Forbidden Army, not the courtiers.
So the question is, how did Zheng Ju get the handle on these people
Obviously, this eunuch who had an ambiguous attitude but finally chose Chunjia had never been honest.
If it weren't for Zheng Fengfen's deep love for Zheng Gu and his son, and his insistence on finding out the truth about Zheng Gu's death, which caused traces to leak out, Chunjia might not have been able to notice it until now due to all the complicated things going on recently!
Now is no longer the time when the emperor has just taken charge, and there are many things to worry about.
Chunjia immediately summoned Duke Yi and other officials, and after a short discussion, he sent someone to inform Zheng Fengfen!
"Your Highness, Princess Yun'an has come into the palace." In the harem, Chie hurriedly walked through the courtyard before entering the door. Before he could go around the screen, he said to himself, "Your Highness is very anxious and wants to see your Majesty. "
"Is it about Zheng Ju?" Yun Fenghuang said, "I just thought of her... What's going on? Could it be that the person who murdered Zheng Ju was found out, but his identity is too valuable to be touched? If that's the case , it is useless for her to beg me. I am just a harem woman, how can I interfere with the affairs of the temple? It is better for her to beg His Majesty herself for this kind of matter. After all, she is the blood of Xiaozong, how can His Majesty treat her badly? "
If Xiaozong's identity was not useful, then... Yun Fenghuang felt that it would be useless to take action on his own.
The most important thing is that Princess Yun'an's husband's family has collapsed, and this golden man may not be able to help Yun Fenghuang in the future.
If that's the case, then why does she work so hard for the eldest princess
She looks like someone who likes to do good deeds without expecting anything in return
"No, your Majesty." Chie walked in and saluted. Because of the hot weather, her forehead was covered with sweat. She wiped it before saying, "Just now, His Majesty suddenly summoned the Prince Consort for an audience. After that, I don't know what he said in Taichu Palace. , the prince-in-law is now in jail!"
Yun Fenghuang was quite surprised. Although there are still people speaking for Zheng Ju to this day, which shows that his hands and feet are not so clean, the rest of the Zheng family can do it. Zheng Fengfeng is the emperor's brother-in-law after all.
For Yun'an's sake, the emperor would not easily put Zheng Fengfeng in jail.
Is it possible that there is something going on between Zheng Ju and the ministers who are still speaking for him that the emperor cannot accept
What kind of thing is it that makes the emperor so angry
After thinking for a while, Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty has always been wise and powerful, and he has never said that he would attack the people around him for no reason. Let alone the consort? Since he did this, there must be a reason. Maybe the consort cared about his adoptive father and was reckless for a moment. I bumped into His Majesty... But for His Highness's sake, I'm sure I won't really punish her severely. You go and comfort His Highness, and say that I'm still in confinement and don't dare to meet her, for fear of conflict. . After all, Princess Jinxi is still young, so she must be more particular... As for the consort, if I have the chance, I will also help soften my cheeks. "
Then he told the Qing people, "I will cook some dishes in the small kitchen and watch the meals being delivered to the former court. I heard that your Majesty has been busy with government affairs these past two days and has been very hard, and I feel uneasy."
Chie went there once, and not long after, he came again to report: "Empress, Your Highness refuses to leave, saying that she is now desperate and can only come to beg you."
"Why do these two people think that this palace is their only hope?" Yun Fenghuang was very puzzled. "Sun Yu, the foreign minister, can't afford it. Your Highness said so. I can't afford it! Her direct royal grandmother also returned the favor. Now, your Majesty, your younger brother, has also watched her grow up. Which of these two does not truly love her? As for why you insist on pestering me?"
This was true, although everyone in the former dynasty and the harem knew that Concubine Min's words carried great weight in front of the emperor.
But Yun Fenghuang's family knew about his family affairs.
Chunjia obeyed her mostly in the palace, or in other words, on matters that the emperor felt had nothing to do with the overall situation.
If the emperor thought it was related to the overall situation, the emperor's attitude would be very good and gentle, but also very firm... He would firmly ignore it and only follow his own ideas.
Let alone a matter between the DPRK and China
Yun'an is already the mother of two children, and she was born in the palace. Can't you even see this fact
Yun Fenghuang sighed, although she felt that Yun'an was of no use to her now, but after all, she was of Xiaozong's flesh and blood, so there was no need to offend her, so she told Chie again, "If His Royal Highness Princess Yun'an does not dare to go to your majesty, she should go to the Taipei Palace." The Empress Dowager is great. Not to mention that I haven’t seen the moon yet, Your Majesty can’t come, and I can’t see the holy face at all. So even if I want to speak for her, I am powerless! But the Empress Dowager is not like that, the Empress Dowager I feel sorry for my granddaughter, so I call her over to give her a few words. Isn’t it natural? Your Majesty has always been filial and filial, and you will never fail to give the Empress Dowager this face."
After all, the Ji family and the Yuan family fell into disgrace one after another, and the two empress dowagers also returned home.
At this time, Chunjia still needs the memorial arch of the Empress Dowager to prove his filial piety.
The most important thing is that the remnants of the Ji family have not yet been eliminated, and they have made big noises in the past. Who knows if the name of the Empress Dowager will be used in the future
In addition, the Queen Mother is not the kind of fool who can't figure things out. Even if she feels sorry for her granddaughter, the method she uses must be within Chunjia's tolerance.
After Chie passed by this time, he quietly said to Yun Fenghuang when he came back: "I don't know if His Highness and the Consort have been too concerned about Zheng Ju's death recently or something else. I saw that His Highness looked quite haggard... His whole body felt a bit haggard. She was completely lost and confused. After the maid conveyed the Queen's words, she was stunned for a long time and then walked away in a daze. It looked both pitiful and terrifying at the same time."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Zheng Ju is your Highness's father-in-law, and he is not the late emperor. Even if he was kind to Your Highness during his lifetime, it is what he should be... His Highness is a wealthy man. He has only been here for a few days. As for his deep love for Zheng Ju. What kind of situation? He is probably still thinking about Princess Yushan."
But thinking about Princess Yushan's death, it had been some time since then. It was said to be Yun'an's saddest period of time after that. I didn't hear that she was so sad
She shook her head. She was not very interested in Yun An's troubles, and she couldn't spare her hands on the key.
The next thing she had to do was to make a fuss about Concubine Shu's death.
After all, if she wants to succeed, she can't do it without help.
When looking for help, the right path is of course profit, friendship, kindness... But for these, Yun Fenghuang either doesn't have enough chips or doesn't have the right opportunity. In short, she thought about it and felt that it would be more appropriate to use fear to clear the way.
Fortunately, the queen was established according to Chunjia's vision. Although she was not very kind, she was weak and gentle enough.
Next, let everyone think carefully: if you block the Queen's way, what will happen may not happen; but if you block her Yun Fenghuang's way, there will definitely be no good end!
What would the former harem think
After making some arrangements, Yun Fenghuang remembered something again and called Chen Jing to him and asked, "How is the twelfth prince?"
"Reporting to the Empress, after the bad news came out from the Twelve Princes, Your Majesty and the Empress stayed naked for a whole day and night. Finally, the Twelve Princes were out of danger." Chen Jing said, "I haven't heard anything bad in the past two days. According to the news, I heard that the servants and doctors who come in and out of the side hall of Taichu Palace have returned to normal, so there is probably nothing wrong with them."
Seeing that Yun Fenghuang was thinking deeply and seemed very worried, he asked tentatively, "Are you worried that the twelfth prince is young and the situation will happen again?"
There is a tacit understanding between the master and the servant. They seem to be worried about the Twelve Princes, but in fact they are afraid that the Twelve Princes' situation will not happen again.
"If the twelve princes are raised in front of the queen, it is unknown what will happen based on the queen's previous experience in raising the princes." Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "Now that the twelve princes are raised in front of your majesty, how can the emperor be so close to his favor? What's going on?"
She actually didn't care that the Twelve Princes could survive... What she worried about was that the so-called repeated situation of the Twelve Princes was just a cover.
And it was a cover created by Chunjia...
The purpose is to keep the child in Taichu Palace and raise him.
Because the queen Gu Zhen is really unreliable.
Two of the three legitimate sons went wrong in her hands. Well, strictly speaking, the twelve princes did not go wrong in Gu Zhen's hands, but... it was true that Chunjia was worried about the queen's abilities.
Now King Qin and Zhaoqing are both six years old. If something happens to the legitimate son again, and if another legitimate son is established, it will not be good for the future of the country.
After all, legitimate sons have far fewer troubles than concubines. Shenzong is a clear example.
Perhaps Chunjia was worried that the tenth prince would follow the queen and follow the example of the king of Chu, so he simply found an excuse to keep a legitimate son in his palace.
So it's okay if the tenth prince can become a talented person. If not, at least there will be a twelfth prince to take over.
At the same time, this move also means that the princes who were born as concubines will not have any chance...
This may just be a bit sad for the other princes and their mothers and concubines.
But for Yun Fenghuang, it was too despairing.
She thought quickly for a moment and said slowly, "Try to... forget it."
I originally wanted to do something, but considering that Uncle Zhaowu is being recalled to the court, I am afraid that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, whether it is the queen or the Gu family, and they may be caught doing tricks at this time... With.
Or take it slow...
Anyway, even if the twelfth prince pretended that the situation worsened and was close to death, such a big child would probably have to be raised for a while if he drowned.
Yun Fenghuang thought it would be better to wait until he was out of confinement and then think about it carefully.
She was busy planning a series of things here, while Concubine Jing was on edge, wanting to die and live every minute... I was shocked when I heard that Concubine Shu sent someone over this day!
