Chapter 163: The Death of Sun Yu
In the evening of that day, Yun Fenghuang went to find the emperor in person and talked about it.
Chunjia was not very surprised when he heard the words, after all, he had always believed that the noble concubine was kind-hearted, but he still encouraged her and rewarded many utensils.
At first, he seemed to want to say something, but Yun Fenghuang quickly showed signs of fatigue. Seeing this, he carefully explained on his behalf, saying that the imperial concubine was quite damaged due to the recent incident, and that she was pregnant. Twins are more tiring than normal pregnant women... Chunjia was very worried when she heard it, and she didn't care to talk anymore. She personally sent her back to Huanhua Palace to rest, and then summoned the Qing people to interrogate the imperial concubine what she has been worrying about lately?
Qing's heart was worried, but his face said respectfully: "Returning to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not worried about anything recently. It is nothing more than some greetings and sendings during the New Year's Eve. Besides, it is the marriage of several Highnesses."
"The reason why I thought of interceding with His Royal Highness Minghui's children today is that His Royal Highness Yun An brought the two ladies, Qin Gao and Qin Xin, to pay their respects. The empress looked at them and said that they are all excellent children, and they are still at this age. Little girl, if there is no mother to take care of you in two years, what will you do? Therefore, even though the maidservants persuaded that it is still in the first month, don't be in a hurry at this moment, the empress still insists on going to you immediately to report If it is settled sooner, it will be better to tell His Royal Highness Minghui the mother and son, so that they will be less panicked for a day."
Chunjia couldn't help sighing: "Ah Huang is shrewd and capable at other times, but when it comes to children, she is always full of motherly love."
"What your Majesty said is true." The Qing people apologized, "Maybe it's the heart disease of the empress who has been in the palace for a long time and has nothing to do. She can't get rid of it for a while."
When she said this, she was quite guilty, but the emperor took it very seriously, and felt more and more afraid.
Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang's pregnancy was saved this time, otherwise, he felt that his concubine might not be able to hold on.
But at this moment, there are still some days before the birth. Thinking of the premature birth of King Jin, the emperor frowned, thought about it, and said: "The imperial doctor who is usually used here is younger after all. I look back and call a doctor." Wait for me to come."
The Qing people hurriedly thanked the master on behalf of their master, and when they sent the emperor away, they went to announce the good news to Yun Fenghuang: "Your Majesty still values you, and what your Majesty said meant more than what you said, if you lose your hand in the matter of the child, it will be a good thing for Your Majesty." It’s justifiable. Madam, tell me, can we make a fuss from here?”
"I've thought about it too, but I'm afraid it's hard to talk about the articles here." Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "After all, Ji Qin and the others hibernated by Brother Twenty-One, not for a day or two, not for a year or two, but It’s been a full thirteen years! I haven’t noticed it for so long, and if it spreads out, and His Majesty doesn’t say anything, I feel ashamed in this Palace!”
She shook her head and didn't plan to talk about such a bad thing for the time being, but said, "Your Majesty said to send the imperial physician to serve him? Although the imperial physician to serve His Majesty must be fine, but I want to serve the Empress Dowager more. "
The noble concubine narrowed her eyes and said softly, "Especially Kai Shidu."
"Although Kui Shidu has excellent medical skills, he is the Empress Dowager's man after all. The empress is pregnant, so it's better to be safe?" the Qing people advised, "Kai Shidu may not be willing to serve the empress sincerely."
"It's not that I really want him, but I just think that if the Empress Dowager doesn't get in, I won't be able to do anything to her right now." Yun Fenghuang said, "Even if she can't keep away from me, but see I met him but didn't say a word, can I torture him? This Kui Shi has served the Empress Dowager for many years, maybe he knows something... He just went to ask for the people in front of the Empress Dowager for no reason, but His Majesty's place is not good either. Confession."
Earlier, she was able to make the Empress Dowager helpless, but in the final analysis, her interests were the same as those of Chunjia.
At worst, what she did made Chunjia feel bad.
So he was happy to be her backer behind the scenes, so she acted unscrupulously.
But at this moment, it was for his own weakness, so not only could he not rely on the emperor to persecute the empress dowager, but he even had to guard against arousing Chunjia's ideas.
It's very troublesome.
But it was just a trouble, Yun Fenghuang discussed with the left and right, and finally came up with a solution, but it is not easy to do it immediately, lest the emperor be suspicious, so he can only delay it for a few days.
Then she remembered something about Yunqin Gao: "Haven't you told Yin's father and daughter yet? Go and remind him personally, just to persuade Yin Qu to calm down and stop making trouble in front of His Majesty again. Now No more than before."
Yin Qu has been in charge of the Ministry of Officials for five or six years, and the emperor is about to replace him.
If he made a fuss at this moment, maybe Chunjia would easily get rid of him and give him some punishment.
Although both Yin Qu and Yun Fenghuang knew that Chunjia would not be ruthless, they were just worried that the important position would be held by one person for a long time, which would be detrimental to the country and the imperial power.
But the dispute over the foundation of the country is imminent, and there are many people in the front and back palaces who are trying to figure out the holy will.
Later, Gu Zhen was abandoned, and the Gu family was imprisoned together. If Yin Qu was reprimanded for resigning at this time, it would inevitably make some people think of burning cold stoves.
In that case, the situation that Yun Fenghuang managed to create is beneficial to Xuanqing Palace, who knows who will be cheaper?
A third prince who forbears nothing is enough for her to worry about. She doesn't want another prince to emerge to become a rising star and obstruct her road to Qingci Palace.
Chen Jing also knew the importance, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant will go and talk to Yin Shangshu in person."
He walked for a while and came back to report that Yin Qu was really furious and wished he could go to the palace gate immediately to ask for an audience and to break up with Chunjia.
"The slave girl told Yin Shangshu according to the order of the empress, that His Majesty has always loved His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, not to mention that His Highness the Seventh Prince is gentle and polite, and he is most like the prince before His Majesty's personal administration. Wronging your own flesh and blood?" Chen Jing said softly, "It must be that His Majesty has plans. Maybe he just wanted to take this opportunity to provoke Yin Shangshu to go to the theory, so he could find an excuse to dismiss Yin Shangshu, thereby suppressing the momentum of Xuanqing Palace... ..."
"Yin Shangshu didn't listen to it at first, but it was Princess Yi who heard the news and rushed over to stop Yin Shangshu."
"Now the Yin family's father and daughter have the same meaning, that is, they all follow the arrangement of the empress."
There is no way to not listen to Yun Fenghuang's arrangement. After all, Yin Qu was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials before, with a high position and authority. Under Yun Fenghuang's command, there is no way to find a second ally of this level.
But at this moment, the days when Yin Qu will resign are numbered. Although he can still serve as an official in the court, his status and power will drop sharply, and his value to the imperial concubine will of course also drop greatly.
Who knows if Yun Fenghuang will turn his face and deny anyone?
And the Seventh Prince has neither married a concubine nor become a feudal clan, so he is still in the hands of his adoptive mother.
"It's good for them to know how to measure." Yun Fenghuang told the Yin's father and daughter about this, but it was actually a tactful reminder to them to restrain themselves in the future. Seeing that Yin Qu and Yin Nuluo are both sensible, he was very satisfied, and said with a smile , "Forget it, since you have promised His Majesty, let Xiaoqi lead Qin Gao to play for a while later. It's just that he can't relax his own schoolwork, so he usually asks Ruyi to take the two girls."
The second princess is smart and clever, dealing with the two cousins is nothing but a trivial matter.
Yun Fenghuang was very relieved to entrust this task to her.
After thinking about it, she asked the person sent to Princess Sui'an's mansion, "Is there any news from there?"
It wasn't there yet, and it wasn't until after noon the next day that someone came to report, saying that Ji Qin was quite surprised when he heard about the incident, and specially kept someone waiting for two days to inquire about the situation.
"Returning to your empress, there was a servant over there this morning, and she looked very unhappy." The palace man lowered his hands and said, "The other side said that the assassination of His Highness Minghui has nothing to do with them. As for your majesty Whether he will notice their existence, Ji Qin also said that it is absolutely impossible, otherwise His Majesty would not have tactfully tried to tempt the empress, I am afraid that he would have directly taken them down."
After Yun Fenghuang heard this, he was not happy but worried: "What did they do in private?"
"The servants also asked, but Ji Qin refused to answer at first, only saying that they had no ill will towards the empress, and would not cause trouble to the empress." The palace man said, "Later, the servants boldly told them that your majesty is wise and mighty, and all the ministers The work is not for nothing. Your Majesty has noticed their traces from Gu's Fuzhu, how do you know that Your Majesty will not find out? If you confess to your Majesty as soon as possible, your Majesty may be able to help cover up one or two, otherwise, your Majesty will There is also the emperor's favorite and the emperor's heir, what do they have? Then Ji Qin thought about it for a long time before revealing something..."
The palace man must have adjusted his emotions on the way back, but at this moment he couldn't help but paused for breath before continuing, "Ji Qin said that Sun Yu's death was what he did."
Yun Fenghuang was stunned before realizing who Sun Yu was. After all, this person was not from the harem, and he didn't come to her very often when he was alive.
It has been many years since she died in the line of duty. If she hadn't had a good memory, she would have forgotten it.
"Are they crazy?!" The imperial concubine immediately became furious, "It's fine if you dare to kill the court officials, after all, what these remnants are doing is the work of disorderly officials and thieves! But who is Sun Yu?! Imperial city envoy! That is the leader of the emperor's army, how dare they do this?!"
While speaking, Yun Fenghuang felt a long-lost panic.
As the leader of the Imperial City Division, Sun Yu did not perform very well when he was in office, and even did all kinds of errands assigned by the emperor himself, very reluctantly.
But no matter what, he is also Chunjia's close person.
When the Ji family was in great power, the emperor, with the support of Duke Yi, contacted the regent privately, took advantage of the incident at the summer banquet, and took charge of the government in one fell swoop, thus according to the agreement, separated half of the Imperial City Secretary from the regent.
Sun Yu took office at that time. He may not be capable enough. After all, he was recruited when the emperor was dormant. At that time, the emperor had very little choice.
Loyalty must be valued more than ability.
In short, Sun Yu is very important in terms of official position, errands, and status in front of the emperor.
Just such a master, when he thoroughly investigated the palace change, he was killed by someone, and there was still no clue... At that time, in order to stabilize people's hearts, he could only find a random murderer and close the case hastily.
But the emperor will definitely not let it go, he must have secretly investigated by someone who has been responsible for it. It has been many years, but there has been no news...
Ji Qin's remnants were able to do such a thing! ! !
This means that the remaining forces and manpower of the Ji family are more profound and terrifying than Yun Fenghuang estimated!
"If they can kill Sun Yu, can they also kill Ben Gong and King Jin?!" Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but think about it. She calmed down and continued to ask: "Why did they kill Sun Yu? Could it be possible, Gong change?"
