Chapter 449 Self-Pollution

Chunjia didn't know that the courtiers who had placed high hopes on him privately slandered him, and he ignored the turmoil at the birthday banquet of the loving mother and empress dowager after he had finished dealing with it.

One is that since the blood relationship between Du Langu and Yi Xingen has been determined, combined with the time when the two left the banquet, and when the guards broke up, the two of them were tugging at each other but neatly dressed. There is no green hat; the second is that although Yi Xingen is beautiful, in the eyes of the emperor, he is just a rare plaything. He has no feelings, and his value is not as good as that of Du Langu. After confirming that Du Langu has not betrayed himself, he is relieved The third is that the mourning for the death of his family was evoked behind the imperial concubine, which occupied most of his mind, let alone pursue it.

So after ordering the matter to be suppressed, and it was over, Chunjia now, apart from comforting the imperial concubine, continued to deal with government affairs.

Although no major state affairs have happened recently, just the ending of the crusade against Wei He is enough to worry the emperor and important ministers.

After all, the birthday of the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is over, and she is about to pack her things and go back to the Imperial Capital.

At that time, it will be rewards for meritorious service that many soldiers love to hear.

But it is impossible to talk about the real meritorious rewards at that time, but it has already been torn apart at this moment, and it must be basically finalized, so that after Jingninghou led the army into the city and boasted of his military achievements, the rewards can be issued logically to show Jun En.

Originally, there were old rules that could be copied for this kind of thing. The key point is that it has not been a day or two since the imperial court has been against Wei He. As early as the time when the emperor just came to power, he sent troops once under the banner of helping Wei He to suppress the rebellion.

At that time, Uncle Zhao Wu personally led the team.

At that time, many children from other families were rushing to join the army to gain credit, but in the end they were very disgraced, and many of them died, with no bones left.

Although these people went to war with ulterior motives and did not have any merits, but after all, most of them were born in high families and nobles, and they died at a young age. As an imperial court, they should be somewhat respectable.

In addition, Uncle Zhaowu has been stationed in the border for many years. During the battle of Jingning Hou to pacify Weihe, he personally sat in Yanzhou and dispatched the supplies. children...

At the same time, some people thought that Jing Ninghou was simply picking peaches this time.

After all, without the Dingbei Army, it would be impossible for Wei He to be defeated by him alone, and the Dingbei Army was trained by Uncle Zhaowu.

And, if there is no accident, in the next ten or twenty years, I am afraid that there will be no decent chance to make military achievements.

Then Zhao Wubo and Jing Ninghou, the two generals, if they have done too much, will they be the masters of the earthquake?

... All in all, all aspects need to be considered. Even if the Chunjia City Mansion is deep, important officials such as Yin Qu and Yi Guogong have two brushes, and they are a little bit burnt out for a while. They meet from time to time to discuss and adjust in private.

So much so that Chunjia regretted letting Ouyang Yanran retreat at this time, after all, this is an old minister who came over during Xiaozong's time, and he has some tricks to deal with such things.

But since he was going to change people, he just thought about it, and he didn't ask Ouyang Yanran to come back.

The monarchs and ministers were busy, but at this time there was news that the son of the Marquis of Jingning had invaded the fertile land, and the amount was appalling. Not only that, but he was also supporting a good family in the countryside. Behind the door, they went to Dali Temple in a rage!

Dali Temple held up the pleading paper, which hindered the complainant, and bumped his head on the stone steps at the door under the watchful eyes of everyone. He was afraid that the Imperial City Secretary would tell the emperor privately, so he dared not hide it, so he had to bite the bullet and hand the pleading paper to Chunjia. .

Seeing this, Chunjia's complexion was not very good, not because he was angry that Jingninghou had no way to teach his son, but: "Have I ever killed heroes indiscriminately so far? Why is Ke Cong so worried about me!"

The left and right knew that the emperor was really angry, and they were all terrified.

It's just such a topic, they dare not say anything.

It was Yan Yin who had the guts to say cautiously: "Looking at what is listed in this case file, it's not a day or two since the son of the Marquis of Jingning ran rampant in the countryside. Maybe it's always been like this. It's just that the Marquis of Jingning is very popular these days. gone."

"It really happened?" The emperor sneered, "I thought it was specially handed over for me to check the time."

He asked again, "Does the public know about this now?"

When Yan Yin said in a low voice, he knew, and said: "Nowadays, there is a lot of discussion in the imperial capital, and everyone thinks that Jingning Hou will probably be dragged down by his son."

In fact, not only the many Li Shus in the imperial capital thought so, there were many similar views in the palace.

When Concubine De greeted Yun Fenghuang, she said casually: "This Marquis of Jingning really has a very difficult life. Although he has several sons under his knees, he personally beheaded a son in the army. Now this one, I heard that although it is not a concubine, it is also a concubine's concubine. It seems that his biological mother is still cousins ​​with Jingninghou. However, this kind of trouble has been caused in this eye joint, and I don't know what will drag Jingninghou down. Sample?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled lightly when he heard this, and said: "How can it be so simple? You Dao Jingninghou is really old and useless, and his own son can't control it? This matter is 100% that he concocted it himself! The bastard born out of a favored concubine is just thrown out as a scapegoat."

"Sister?" Concubine De was startled.

Seeing Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea and explained slowly: "Jing Ning Hou even killed his second son if he wanted to. How could such an old man not be able to suppress his son? According to my opinion, this time The thing is nothing more than the fact that the Marquis of Jingning has been stationed in southern Xinjiang for many years, and he has a very high prestige in the Dingnan Army. This time, because of his meritorious service in the crusade against Weihe, he also has a considerable reputation in the Dingbei Army...even, his reputation has surpassed Uncle Zhaowu , can be said to be the leading military general in the country at present!"

"Their Ke family is not as famous as the Empress's mother's family, Uncle Zhaowu's Mansion, who has no successors!"

"Although this family is very low-key and never shows off that there are any Qilin children in the family, how can they hide from His Majesty whether there are outstanding children?"

"Now that meritorious deeds are being rewarded, isn't Marquis Jingning worried about the master of meritorious deeds?"

"He is considerate, and he didn't wait for His Majesty to make things difficult, and took the lead in arranging such a self-defilement!"

"That's good. The Son of Heaven will atone for his merits, so he can rest assured."

Concubine De was a little dazed when she heard it, her lips parted slightly, and she asked depressedly after a while: "How does sister know so much?"

Without waiting for the imperial concubine to answer, she sighed again, thinking that it is better not to ask... Sure enough, Yun Fenghuang didn't think so: "You can understand this kind of thing if you think about it. Jingning Hou is the master who even kills his second son if he wants to kill him. If this kind of person really indulges his family members in Yurou Township, unless the emperor personally decrees to get to the bottom of it, how many ordinary people still want to go to Beijing to make trouble at the gate of Dali Temple? I am afraid that they will die on the road and feed wolves, tigers and leopards! Such a coincidence... other than Jing Ning Hou directing and acting himself, what else could it be?"

Not to mention the family status of the Marquis of Jingning, they are local snakes like the Xie family, who can control one side and don't give the sufferer any chance to appeal.

Concubine De felt very uncomfortable: Hearing what you said, it was indeed easy to guess, but before you spoke, I never thought of it!

She really felt that Marquis Jingning's fate was not good, and that he had unfilial sons one after another.

After she regained her composure, she suddenly remembered: "Then, the empress empress's nephew matter, could it be that Mrs. Gu also deliberately arranged it?!"

"That's not necessarily true." Yun Fenghuang shook his head, "I said before, the main reason why the Ke family should be worried about the master of high achievements is that their family is not the Gu family, and the Gu family is famous for having no successors... But why do you have to make mistakes again?"

Moreover, "If the Ke family is so self-deprecating, they just want to prove to His Majesty that they have no intention of disobedience. So they can be in the fish and meat village, they can invade the fertile land, they can be greedy for money and lust... But I haven't heard that they will deliberately rebel .”

After all, the purpose of doing this is to show the emperor, you see, I am a hot chicken, I have such a bad reputation, I just want to rebel and no one will follow me...

What do you mean by directly arranging for the younger generation to rebel?

Do you want to tell the emperor that you saw it, my son really rebelled, and then it really failed! ?

Isn't it afraid that the emperor will think that a useless child in this family is thinking about rebelling, let alone other people, and then let the whole family feel cold?

Yun Fenghuang concluded, "I think that Gu's son is simply too stupid."

Concubine De nodded repeatedly, feeling much more at ease.

That's right, that's definitely an idiot!

In contrast, Bengong felt that he was much smarter than him...

Although she didn't expect that Marquis Jingning would need to tarnish his reputation, she also wouldn't think that the children of the Gu family did that to protect the family...

"Then sister thinks, what will happen to Mrs. Gu this time?" Concubine De smiled and asked curiously.

Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and said: "Uncle Zhaowu has been stationed in the border for many years, after all, he has credit. It is impossible to deny everything just because an unworthy descendant happened under his knee. It would be chilling. I thought, His Majesty should know Give it a favor."

In fact, if the emperor did this, the main reason might not be Zhaowu Bo's hard work, but because the Gu family has no successors...

For a family that poses no threat to the imperial power, the emperor certainly doesn't mind making a good show.

If the Gu family was that kind of big family with endless talents, then...they should be dying by now.

"...But after all, teach Sun Wufang, so we can't just let it go." Hearing this, Concubine De showed a little disappointment. She is a member of the imperial concubine's team, so of course she wished for the empress to be bad.

How can you be happy when you hear that the emperor will give generously to the queen's father?

At this moment, he said sourly, "That's too much for a rebel like You Rong!"

"He's a veteran after all." Yun Fenghuang said in his heart, Chunjia had even given up his plan to establish a heir, and he wanted to make up for Gu's to some extent, but being kind in normal times would definitely make Gu's doubts.

How can I not take advantage of this moment to make myself feel more comfortable?

I'm afraid that if this award goes on, in two years, as long as there is a concubine prince who shows the qualifications that are more suitable for succession than the legitimate son, Chunjia will find an excuse to clean up the Gu family.

She didn't have any jealousy in her heart, so she said magnanimously, "Your Majesty always has to show some face. I just hope that Mrs. Gu will not forget your kindness in the future, and don't let Your Majesty down again."

It's just that the imperial concubine's good mood lasted until halfway back to the imperial capital.
