Chapter 220 Confrontation

Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty

Chunjia was busy until late at night, and looked under the lamp, but she didn't feel tired at all, her eyes were shining brightly, even with a pressure that she didn't usually have.

Marquis Yongchun started trembling from the moment he stepped into the gate. After all, King Yi had been in and out of the court since he was a child, but at this moment he was still stable, saluting as usual.

"Sit down and talk." Chunjia didn't get angry immediately, pointing to the seat not far away, and said casually, "When did you know?"

Marquis Yongchun heaved a sigh of relief for his attitude, and was shocked when he heard these words!

Before he could react, he heard that King Yi's tone was also flat: "Your Majesty was a little skeptical before he came to power... After the father left, the minister calmed down a lot. Thinking about the past, there are many different discoveries, pieced together. , but also guessed a lot."

The emperor sighed and said: "I was an only son since I was a child, and I thought at first that there was at least a brother like you."

"The son of heaven has always been a loner." Yi Wang smiled, "Since your majesty is already rich in the world, why should you pursue everything to be happy?"

Chunjia didn't continue this topic either. In his early years, he probably needed the brother Yi Wang more, because the main branch of the Gongxiang family was withered, and his heirs were young at that time. The existence of Yi Wang supported him a lot. .

But now that the eldest son of the emperor is already a vassal, he doesn't need Yiwang so much because of emotion and reason. At this moment, he said casually, and then got back to business: "Why do you doubt the regent?"

King Yi said in a low voice: "When I was young, my parents had a very good relationship. Later, my mother and concubine went away abruptly. For many years, many outsiders suspected that she was killed by others to make way for the Lu family."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Marquis Yongchun before continuing, "As a son of man, I naturally doubted this matter even more. This was also the beginning of the relationship between me and my father. But as I grew up, I felt that this Things are not quite right... because if the father and king abandon his married wife for the sake of plotting great things, why would he just marry a Lu family and give up?"

For example, Chunjia, after being in power back then, she recruited girls from the Yin family, Meng family, Luo family, and Ouyang family into the palace and gave them high positions. This is the appearance of a serious marriage.

How can there be no reason to change the wife and let it go?

"What's more, my father's usual behavior doesn't seem to be obsessed with the Lu family."

"If you want to say that you value the former Marquis of Qingping..." Yi Wang smiled sarcastically, "The former Marquis of Qingping is not a short-sighted master like the Lu family. He was born as a eunuch and was named a marquis, which in itself proves his talent and ability. Courage. In that case, would he prevent his father from marrying many high-ranking families in order to let his adopted daughter be the only favorite? You know, as the father-in-law behind the father, he and the father are both prosperous and at the same time. The father cannot get high The support and assistance of the door, so that he failed, what good is it for him?"

"Looking at the death of the first emperor and the death of his mother and concubine, the father seemed to be very ambitious, and he was bound to win the throne, but he really didn't do a few things that were in line with his ambition."

"Even if the father is ambitious and talented, he has come to Cuiyuan to set up for many years, but there is no one who is sensible?"

"Taking a step back, let's not mention the uneven guests who came to the door one after another, but the former Qing Pinghou, if he really did his best to help the father, the father has always respected him...but Or let the father and king spend his life in a mediocre life, gaining nothing and accomplishing nothing, then he would be too sorry for the title specially conferred by the late emperor."

King Yi didn't look at Marquis Yongchun at the moment, but he still mentioned this younger brother, "...and the king's treatment of his ministers has gone from bad to worse over the years, but he didn't give him and the youngest son of the Lu family the dignity and cultivation that he should have. Hiding in the back house, not to mention outsiders, even in the palace, you can't see it. At that time, the minister was still young, so he was inevitably full of anger, patronizing jealousy and anger, and never thought of the truth."

He was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Your Majesty, the former Marquis of Qing Ping... that Lu Chuncao is actually not a person left by Xiaozong at all, but a person of the late Emperor Shenzong, right?"

Marquis Yongchun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head!

But seeing that the Son of Heaven and King Yi both looked calm, Chunjia looked at King Yi with deep eyes, and said slowly, "I don't know."

He paused, and then continued, "Although I am the heir of the late emperor, after all, I came to the Imperial Capital from Fuyang County after I tied my hair. I have never been clear about these past events."

"Then Your Majesty never had any doubts about your father's actions?" King Yi narrowed his eyes, "Or do you think that my father should be so stupid?"

The Son of Heaven thought for a while, and said, "I am entangled in all kinds of affairs, and I don't have much time to speculate whether the King Regent's thoughts and actions are reasonable."

He just thought about how to get rid of this cheap uncle, and he flexed his muscles.

Moreover, as the emperor himself said, he came to the throne from Fuyang County at the age of fifteen, so he didn't know the past of the members of the main branch of the Gongxiang clan.

Even out of place.

Therefore, although Gongxiang Ruoji's actions were often quite contradictory and difficult to explain, even Yun Fenghuang raised many doubts in private, but the emperor couldn't help feeling that maybe this cheap uncle was so unbearable?

After all, the brother of the Prince Regent, as his son and grandson, was forced to die in depression by his relatives...

Frankly speaking, the emperor always felt in his heart that the scheming talents of the Xiaozong brothers were not very good.

"At the beginning, Qi Jiulu went to Lai Cuiyuan." Yi Wang was silent for a while, and continued, "I value him very much, and my father treats him very politely...but not long after, he was sent to the Dingbei Army. At that time, Everyone inside and outside thought that he was a pawn arranged by the Prince Regent's Palace to enter the Northern Army. But in fact, since then, the Palace has never taken him seriously. Rather than putting eyes and ears in the army, it is more It is a suitable place for promising young people."

"At that time, I always felt that something was wrong."

"only……"

"This matter is too big. If King Mao hadn't revealed it, although I have many doubts, I would not dare to think about the truth."

Chun Jia admitted: "I didn't expect this to happen either."

The brothers were relatively silent for a moment, and King Yi sighed: "But King Mao still underestimated His Majesty too much."

"A mere vassal from the remote branch has done so many corrupt and perverted things over the years, taking advantage of the fact that the main branch is thin and has no time to care for him." Chunjia said indifferently, "This time a bitter lord came to the imperial court. After all, he is a clan member, and he intends to deal with it in private, who knows that he is ambitious, but instead slanders the main branch... I will never keep such a person."

He casually poured a pile of dirty water on King Mao, which can be regarded as setting the direction for his subordinates to deal with. He stared at King Yi for a while, and finally sighed: "It's late at night, you guys go back and resettle. It's all yours. Brother, why are you so cautious?"

"Your Majesty!" Marquis Yongchun couldn't help being stunned. When he heard King Yi readily admit it, he thought it must be over?

King Yi, on the other hand, didn't look happy when he heard the words, he just thanked His Majesty lightly, and bowed to leave.

After going out, the excited Marquis of Yongchun came to his senses when he was blown by the mountain wind: Chunjia's gentle attitude of killing the Hezu was not once or twice.

Now that King Mao has not resolved it, and the public opinion has not calmed down, if something goes wrong with the flesh and blood of the two regent kings, wouldn't it help King Mao prove that there is something wrong with their blood?

Chunjia came to power as the heir of Emperor Xiaozong. Although his throne is very stable now, things like righteousness and fame, whether it is important or not, are sometimes irreplaceable.

As long as he can die and refuse to admit it, can deny success, Chunjia will stick to it through emotion and reason.

Therefore, the emperor still recognized them as brothers, maybe he just recognized them as brothers.

After the limelight has passed, the emperor has 800 ways to make them die quickly, or in great pain, in order to vent his anger that the Gongxiang family's wealth has been stolen for many years.

But in fact, Chunjia in Xingxintang didn't have much anger, but she didn't spend much effort to explain all kinds of things. Instead, she asked the attendants: "Imperial grandmother still refuses to see me?"

"...Returning to Your Majesty, there is a lot of kerosene in the empress dowager's residence." The servant was quite helpless, "It was all asked for by the empress dowager's attendant in person. Although the people below don't know why, but your majesty did not." , Your Majesty ordered, and dared not refuse. At this moment, the Empress Dowager's servants are guarding outside, saying that they are ordered by the Empress Dowager, and if anyone breaks in without the Empress Dowager's permission, they will immediately light the fire."

The empress dowager was determined not to confront the empress.

Chunjia frowned, and said, "Didn't the imperial grandmother have anything to say about Shenzong's bloodline?"

The servant dared not make a sound.

"That's all." Chunjia sighed, and murmured, "I do understand why Xiaozong was bullied by the Ji family in every possible way back then, but the imperial grandmother still stood by and watched."

Because he is not his own son at all, so of course he is not close to his mother's family.

But Ji Sheng...

This ex-mother, empress dowager, who was considered to be unworthy of Xiaozong's love, might instead be on Xiaozong's side.

"It's just why the Ji family and the emperor's grandmother still let Xiaozong give birth to three emperor daughters?" Chunjia felt that there were still many doubts about the whole matter. Xiaozong was not from the blood of the Gongxiang family, and Shenzong passed the throne to him just to protect himself. The secret of infertility.

In order to ensure that the throne can be returned to Gongxiang's bloodline when his grandson is in his generation, Xiaozong must have no heirs.

What is there for the three emperors to exist?

If Xiaozong didn't have a child from the beginning to the end, he was not in a hurry, and all the officials would urge him to find a way to have an heir.

But the existence of the three emperors and daughters made the courtiers who didn't know the truth have a little fantasy, that maybe the next one would be the prince?

The emperor frowned, is this Xiaozong's plan?

Before Lenovo Xiaozong passed away, he once tried every means to establish the emperor's younger brother, and he hooked the corner of his mouth playfully.

After thinking for a moment, Chunjia ordered: "Inform the queen about the situation at the imperial grandmother's side."
