Yun Fenghuang was horrified and blurted out: "Your Majesty, I doubt whether your Majesty..."
"...Officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Imperial City Department also attended the summer banquet." Empress Ji pinched her forehead and said a little tiredly, "They thoroughly investigated the scene and the surrounding area in full view of the public, and came to the conclusion that there was no case of Dong Leg. If someone shot my grandmother with a three-stone bow a hundred steps away, that person would have never been found."
I bet you, an ordinary female family member, don’t know what the three-stone bow means.
However, the folk customs in the North are fierce, and even women know a little about riding and shooting. Yun Fenghuang, for example, was led by his father and brother to practice horse arching when he was seven or eight years old. At the age of ten, he took a small bow and drove eagles and dogs to participate in hunting. Although the harvest was basically Regardless of the contribution of eagles and dogs, common sense does not know: During the reign of Emperor Taizu, he issued an edict to all armies to divide bows into three categories, with nine bows being the first, eight bows being the second, and seven bows being the third [Note 1].
In other words, those who can draw the Nine Dou Bow are already the best in the army. And ten buckets is one stone, and a bow of three stones requires a lot of physical strength!
What's more, although the difficulty of piercing the skull with a hundred steps is not as difficult as the legendary piercing the Yang with a hundred steps, it is still enough to make a name in the army.
...How did Emperor Chunjia, a puppet, gather his legs like that
The most important thing is that it is so well concealed that it has not been discovered for a long time.
Yun Fenghuang frowned and carefully recalled what happened after coming from Songlingdong. His pupils suddenly shrank, and his voice became lighter consciously: "Empress, I remember that Bidong often practiced bow and horse. A few months before the summer feast , probably because of over-practicing, I asked Shan Xiang to pinch her shoulders for a while in front of the imperial concubine in the Yanlan Palace... "
Emperor Chunjia was also a vassal king before he came to the throne. The Empress Dowager Yuan, who had nothing to do, treated the concubine like a treasure. She invited famous teachers to teach her since she was a child. She was trained according to the standards of Yun Wen and Yun Wu. He had very good skills in both civil and martial arts. Base.
In addition, after ascending the throne, you are not allowed to personally govern, and you can only go to school except wandering around the harem, so you have a lot of time and opportunities to master it. Although the harem of the previous dynasty would not respect an emperor who was emptied out, so that the emperor's reputation would never be known, but that does not mean that the emperor did not have the ability to shoot the Duke of Ye's wife with a three-stone bow!
In fact, the emperor, who was born in a feudal lord, had been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood, and his physical foundation from the East was not comparable to that of ordinary people. From the beginning of enlightenment, the teachers who can be invited to teach, the medicinal materials and nutritional supplements that can be enjoyed are not comparable to those of ordinary families. As long as you are willing to work hard, your achievements should be better than those of most people.
"But the time is not wrong." Empress Ji listened and shook her head slightly, "The closing was a big matter. The people who wanted to be close to the harem were all present at the time. All parties involved in the investigation were involved and supervised each other. There was absolutely no cover-up." ! Otherwise, how could I have been placed under house arrest in Dongsongling and not come out until then? "
She said and sighed, "To be honest, if I hadn't been able to testify that Bidong was very much in Songling when the incident occurred, I would have doubted Bidong... Wrong, am I sure Bidong was not in person that month? ?”
Yun Fenghuang was startled and said: "Then... I really didn't find anything good at that time? Otherwise, I have been detained for such a long time, what should I not say?"
"No." Empress Ji didn't know whether she was disappointed or melancholy, and sighed again, "I have always been clever, not to mention how could Bidong get a substitute under my nose, let's just say that I really found one. How can an impostor with a similar appearance and stature be able to deceive me in the east of the blue sky and red moon?"
"Empress." Yun Fenghuang clenched his fists calmly, rolled his eyes, and whispered, "I feel that Bidong has been staying in the palace for all these years and has had little contact with the outside world. Many things, I'm afraid if you don't The regent is powerless..."
Empress Ji nodded and said: "If I am so suspicious, then there is no evidence. If the rebellion in the three states of the Ming Dynasty has not yet been put down, the disputes in the east of the world are fierce... Sigh..."
After all, the queen was in low spirits. After talking to her for a while, she showed obvious boredom. She waved her leg and asked her to go back to her residence. "It's not like those confinement harems are not peaceful. There are many things. Let the people of Didong Just tell me."
After hesitating, he said in a comforting tone, "What happened in Bufu? Do I care about me after all? Moreover, the Flower and Bird Envoy is about to return to the palace, and the selected good sons from poor families... are all well-behaved and obedient."
Yun Fenghuang's docile Ying Dong said a few more words of concern about the queen's body before resigning.
After going out, a gust of wind blew, and I realized that there was a cold sweat on my back.
"Yun Ronghua, oh, Ru Ming has also called her Yun Concubine. Because you were promoted to the throne first, the palace calls her Xiao Yun Concubine." The palace servant from Yanfu Palace who led the way accompanied her out and told her by the way, "Xiao Yun Concubine" The beauty of marrying into the palace is gone. Could you please let Xi Jing accompany you back to the harem that month to get seasickness medicine? It turns out that on the way, I saw a civet cat, and it hurt its head and face while teasing it, so I asked Xi Jing to do it. Send the medicine back alone."
Then Xijing didn't go back to Xiaoyingzhou, and the Duke of Ye's wife was shot dead!
The island was in chaos at that time, so how could there be time to take care of a palace maid
Yun Fenghuang, who was recognized as the queen's patron, was detained in the jingshe because he happened to meet the emperor in Songling. Whether he was interrogated or under house arrest, as the emperor's loyal supporter, Yi Guogong's two daughters were also unable to escape. Doubtful, he was isolated and questioned repeatedly.
Of course, Concubine Yun Shu had a high status and was not the biological daughter of Duke Yi, so the sisters came out much earlier than Yun Feng Huangqiu. Bu Nao stayed in Xiaoyingzhou for two months. After the emperor took charge, he was sent back to Tongxia Palace.
Yun Qingman even got promoted to a level soon as a way to calm down his shock.
After she returned, she received news that Miaocai was suspected of suffering from canine wind and could no longer stay outside the palace. She would be moved to a place specially designed to accommodate sick and disabled palace residents.
Canine wind was what later generations called rabies, and it was not incurable at that time. The simplest way was to apply the brain of the instigator to the wound, and it would never occur [Note 2].
But the question is whether most of the civet cats in the palace were ordered by the Empress Dowager to catch snakes, rats, and insects. Without the Empress Dowager's permission, who would dare to touch them
Moreover, the civet cats look similar, and they are roaming around the palace. After Miaocai was attacked, she was so fat that she might not be able to recognize her. To say the least, even if she could recognize him, where could he find her in such a hurry
In short, she went crazy within two days after being sent out. The disease disappeared within a few months of going crazy.
The maid of Yanfu Palace whispered: "After all, I grew up with Xiaoyun Concubine. Xiaoyun Concubine was very sad at the time. Before she died, she wanted to go to see her off for the last time, but she was stopped by Concubine Shu. "
Yun Fenghuang thought, why not stop it? Not to mention that the place where Miao Cai was at that time must have been smoky and unsuitable for the pampered Yun Qingman to appear. Just saying that the emperor's personal administration was such a big event. As the representatives of the royalists in the palace, the Yun sisters' eyes were so strong that it was difficult to get out of Xiaoyingzhou. Come on, when you need to keep a low profile, what does a mere palace maid mean
She smiled faintly: "Isn't that pitiful... Well, if I had known, he would have asked Xijing to come back to get the medicine alone, but he ended up harming Miao Cai."
The maid of Yanfu Palace said softly: "That means Miaocai's life is short, otherwise how could Sister Xijing be safe?"
He was also curious about how Xi Jinghou did it
Yun Fenghuang thought that the palace maid was also cruel, so she whispered a few words at that time, asking Xijing to accompany Miaocai back to the harem and trap her, so as not to go back to meet Yun Qingman and report her. The details of Yun Qike's meeting, as for how to do it, suggest that Yuan Niang, Ji Zhaoyuan and other hot-tempered concubines can get involved. Anyway, the first one cannot deny the pot of Ziquan Palace; the second one can have a reason to explain afterwards... Unexpectedly, Xijing It's not that simple, it just kills people.
Speaking of which, when she and Yun Qingman were in pain, Miao Cai had a lot of help.
... Of course, she would not benefit from that kind of help.
Yun Fenghuang said a few regretful words about not asking for money, and finally asked what kind of problems there were in the confinement period in the harem.
"... Empress Zhaoyuan has been demoted." The maid of Yanfu Palace looked a little strange when she heard this, with the expression of someone who wanted to say but couldn't bear to say, "Ruming and empress are of the same level, they are concubines."
That surprised Yun Fenghuang: "Why?"
The palace maid looked at her surprised look, and the unbearable color in her eyes became stronger: "...because of the murder of the palace concubine."
Yun Fenghuang was obviously startled and said: "Conspirate to kill the concubine? Who was murdered? What kind of status do the concubines in the palace have? How can they be worthy of a nobleman like Zhaoyuan?"
"..." The palace maid opened her mouth and changed the subject with a forced smile, "Yunbi, please go back to Huzhu Palace immediately? Just now, the people in front of Bidong came to send a message to pick you up. Maybe Bidong will go there later. Looking at you?"
Am I sure he can see him without killing him
Yun Fenghuang shrank his head. He really wanted to stay in Yanfu Palace, but that was not an option. After hesitating for a while, he realized that he couldn't talk to the palace maid, so he returned depressedly. Huzhu Palace.
After all, things were different after the emperor came to power. The path from Yanfu Palace to Huzhu Palace was remote and cold, but it was repaired in a few months. Although it is not possible to tidy up all the palaces and pavilions along the way, at least the palace roads outside the visible range are neatly tidied up and look brand new.
That made Yun Fenghuang even more sad...
The emperor was just pro-government and had not made any achievements. He didn't know if his status as pro-government could continue, but the limelight in the palace had changed so much!
I always feel like my future will be bleak when I go back...
She walked slowly, racking her brains to think of what to do.
Not only her, but Xile was also very frightened, and whispered a suggestion: "Master, since the emperor will ask to go to Ziquan Palace later, can we go back quickly?"
In order not to keep the emperor waiting for a long time, let alone get an additional penalty!
"He was worried that he would go back too early and not wait for Bidong. He should wait for Yue Jieyu first!" Yun Fenghuang sighed and said melancholy, "Don't look at the master who is pregnant. I believe it or not, let's step into Dendrobium. Palace, can she kill herself by herself?"
Xile suddenly felt that it would be better to walk slower.
It can be seen that Yuan Niang's deterrence sometimes lies in the presence of the emperor...
"No, he has to go visit Concubine Shu first." Yun Fenghuang thought about it, but he felt that it was very unsafe to go back to Huzhu Palace. He stopped halfway and decided, "Fortunately, the summer banquet can be held at the same time." Prince Yun took a look at him, and Concubine Shu is just a brother, so she must not think highly of him!"
The master and the servant had just turned around and walked a few steps when they heard the sound of whips coming from ahead. Before Yunfeng Huang could hide in the place, a group of people surrounded the imperial chariot and appeared out of their sight.
Isn't it true that the road between enemies is narrow... Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart and had to give up the idea of going to Tongxia Palace to drag Concubine Shu Dongshui, and took Xile together to salute by the roadside to welcome the emperor.
"Concubine Yun?" The emperor's chariot stopped in front of her without hesitation, and the bead curtain was brushed aside, revealing the face of Emperor Chunjia who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said jokingly, "Can you please go back to Huzhu Palace? ? I happen to be visiting my mother-in-law, why don’t you come and give me a ride?”
"..." Yun Fenghuang suddenly thought of not long ago in Taichu Palace, when she was walking in the emperor's chariot unceremoniously, the emperor had questioned her about "the virtue of speaking in chariot", but she had rebuffed her with a high-sounding tone... Well, so let's settle the score now. Has it started yet
So how should she answer now
[Note 1] In the first year of Xining, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty (1068), “hebei Province issued an imperial edict to teach the army of Zhu. All bows were divided into three grades, with nine buckets being the first, eight buckets being the second, and seven buckets being the third. Crossbows were divided into three grades. In the third grade, two stones and seven buckets are the first, two stones and four buckets are the second, two stones and one bucket are the third." (East volume of "Maple Window Slips")
