Chapter 170 Thank Your Majesty Long En
The situation is obvious: everyone suspects that the sudden appearance of the scholar was arranged by the regent, otherwise, how could the regent fight against the real concubine? Stand up and speak bluntly, aren't you? !
But the regent seemed to be caught off guard, and suspected that what Zheng Gu and Cui Wan did was to provoke his alliance with Chunjia.
Of course, the truth is not clear at this moment.
After a brief silence, Chun Jia looked at Lord Yi, who agreed, and got up to go out: "Your Majesty, although my family's virtues are shallow, they have always abided by the precepts of the ancestors. For eight generations, there have been no remarried daughters and no rebellious sons." , the child under the knee, regardless of gender, has taught the virtues of writing since childhood, and has never dared to slack off in the slightest! The real concubine is the niece of the minister, and she is always virtuous and virtuous, gentle and pure filial piety, as everyone knows! Because of this, she was selected as a member of the ceremony... ...The so-called being born with leisure and family traditions is not upright, it is really wronged, please Your Majesty look into it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials who were a few seats away also stood up and cupped their hands, saying: "Your minister! Although I am not very familiar with Yiguo Duke's mansion, my ministers often mention the two concubines Shu Concubine and Zhen Concubine with my wife and daughter-in-law. They are all benevolent and generous people, with the demeanor of a virtuous concubine. The courtiers are always honest, and it is even more impossible for them to lie to their mothers-in-law. I think that this scholar has received the emperor's great favor, and he does not want to repay the emperor, but fabricates the facts. Slandering the imperial concubine is truly a crime worthy of death!"
Taking advantage of the advantage of overlooking from a high platform, Yun Fenghuang saw that the official was about 40 or 50 years old, with a white face and short beard, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Wei Hengyan's. He might be Wei Hengyan's father, otherwise he wouldn't have Stand up and help out at this time.
Of course, it wasn't all because of his daughter that he stood up at this time. He looked contemptuous, and when he turned his head to look at the scholar, he seemed to be looking at a fool—in fact, at this moment, the officials in the palace, including the concubines, felt that That scholar is stupid and greedy, and he probably won't end well.
This is not to say that the recognition of the real concubine's favor is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but because everyone knows that the joy of the monarch and his ministers at this festival is just superficial, and the deep intention is to declare his rise to the temple from the emperor's side. Therefore, the concubines who presided over the feast were changed from the queen to Yunfenghuang and Kunze Princess.
As a result, a scholar came to accuse the real concubine at this time. How could this be a matter of picking the real concubine?
Isn't this deliberately hitting the emperor and Queen Mother Yuan in the face?
If it weren't for knowing that Mrs. Ji would not be so stupid, everyone would think it was done by Mrs. Ji at this time to provoke in this way, in order to tell everyone that the emperor and the Empress Dowager Yuan's mother and son have bad eyesight, and the representative selected is not a person. OK
Look, Yun Fenghuang, who was criticized, didn't say anything, the emperor and Yi Guogong sang together to help wash the ground.
The Sacred Heart is partial so far, Wei Hengyan’s father feels that there is no risk in standing up now, he can show his presence in front of the imperial concubine, and by the way, gain a good opinion of the daughter in the palace—he is not the only one who thinks so Yes, stood up with several officials, and spoke out to prove that the family style of Duke Yi's mansion is mellow and the family education is strict.
Then he proposed to drag the scholar out to punish him, and the punishment proposals became more and more ruthless.
The scholar didn't know whether he was bribed or what, but he remained calm. After the group of people finished speaking, he said loudly again: "The Duke of Yi's mansion is loyal and courageous. Everyone knows it. How dare the students doubt it?! The students say that the family tradition is not right. Yes, it is the family from which Concubine Zhen was originally born, the Xie family in the North! Concubine Zhen’s half-sister, Hong Xing, three years ago, went out and caught her husband’s family on the spot, so that the city was full of storms! No one knows, no one knows!"
"May I ask this kind of lecherous woman, what qualifications do she have to be selected into the harem to serve His Majesty, and even more qualified to serve the Empress Dowager?"
After these words were spoken, the hall was silent for a while, and needles could be heard.
The regent seems to have thought of something, but his face is ugly - and beside the scholar, the faces of the Xie family's children who were invited to attend are all sinking. If it weren't for the most steady Xie Heng pressing down, Xie Fu, the most impulsive person, would be afraid I'm going to jump up and refute on the spot!
"Don't move yet, this little thing won't embarrass your mother." Xie Heng took Xie Fu with one hand and Xie Wuzheng's sleeve with the other. All the brothers were present, and only the three of them came here at the moment.
Xie Heng was a little lucky, if Xie Yanxiu Jiang Zhu came, he would definitely not be able to stop him, "Just watch."
Before he came, he was told many things by his family, and he knew something about Yun Fenghuang's ability, but he knew that this cousin was not easy to get along with.
Sure enough, Yun Fenghuang raised his head slowly, smiled "heh", bowed to Chunjia, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since this scholar keeps saying that my concubine's character is not worthy, please allow me to argue with him to prove my innocence." .”
Chunjia lightly said the word "accurate".
"I heard that your accent is from the middle of Sichuan." Yun Fenghuang thanked him, looked at the man, and said lazily, "I remember, no matter whether it is my blood relative Xie family or adoptive father Yun family, I don't have you." The relatives are old. Although your majesty's harem concubines are not many, there are quite a few. But I don't know that you, a scholar, came to the imperial capital from afar, and you don't want to concentrate on reading books in order to repay the king's kindness to the country, and inquire about the palace in private. What is the reason for the experience?"
The scholar sneered: "Why is the real concubine empress so self-deprecating? Ever since the empress entered the palace, even outside the palace, there have been many rumors about the empress. Even though the students have just come to the imperial capital, they have heard about the deeds of the empress dominating the palace like thunder!"
The word "ruling the roost" was deliberately emphasized.
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "Slap your mouth!"
The scholar was stunned, not only him, but also the imperial concubines and concubines in the palace were stunned by these words.
After all, although the status of a scholar is inferior to that of Yun Fenghuang, but he was invited to the palace for a banquet today, representing the face of scholars all over the world!
If Yun Fenghuang did this, wouldn't he be afraid of evil Shilin?
This thought has not yet passed away, and a quick-reacting servant has already stepped forward and slapped the scholar's face with a slap in the face!
"Do you know why I hit you?" Yun Fenghuang was amiable, as if the order just now had nothing to do with her. After the inspection, I will hire you. Do you think that Sister Concubine Shu and the Empress Dowager will collude to deceive His Majesty, or do you think that the status of these two makes it impossible to send people to the Northland to thoroughly investigate the life of this Palace?!"
Her complexion suddenly darkened, "If you are just an ordinary scholar today, I will not care about you because you are a scholar and you are not very old! But are you an ordinary scholar?! Bengong Although he lives in the palace and doesn't care about world affairs, he also knows that the scholars who can be invited to the palace on occasions such as the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet must be talented. You are also so confused, copying what others say, sowing the flesh and blood of the Tian family, making false comments about the Empress Dowager and Concubine Zhenxi Shu, you say, should you fight or not?!"
"Why does the concubine really avoid the important and ignore the important?" The scholar said loudly without fear, "What you said is nothing more than bringing out the empress dowager and concubine Zhenxi Shu to defend yourself, but I don't know if it's thanks to you. The Xie family deliberately concealed it to deceive everyone? After all, the Xie family is flourishing in the north, and it is a first-class big family, so it may not be impossible to deceive the king!"
He said, "Your Majesty, please answer the student's question directly: Is your sister, Wang Xie, an affair, messing with an adulterer, and being smashed by her husband's family in public?!"
Now, even Xie Heng couldn't sit still!
I'm afraid it's not just for Yun Fenghuang, I'm afraid, the fundamental purpose is the three of them!
"Presumptuous!!!" But before Xie Heng got up, he heard a loud shout from under the high platform—Mr. Yi, with his beard and hair all stretched out, pointed his halberd at the scholar, and said sharply, "The concubine, the concubine, died three years ago. She has succeeded my Yun family and is my Yun family's daughter! What does the matter of Xie family have to do with the real concubine?!"
Wei Hengyan's father hurriedly followed up: "Throughout the ages, as long as the heirs have successors, they have nothing to do with their biological parents. This scholar also reads the books of sages and sages. How come he doesn't understand such rules?"
On the high platform, Yun Fenghuang suddenly said quietly: "My lords, I'm afraid this scholar doesn't understand, but understands too well."
Some people didn't realize the meaning of her words for a while, but they saw the regent and other important ministers subconsciously looking at the emperor, and they didn't dare to make a sound-this real concubine was really daring to set fire on the emperor in public!
Isn't Emperor Chunjia also a successor?
And what's more embarrassing is that when someone else succeeds, he leaves his biological parents alone to go to a family that needs an heir.
He is fine, his adoptive mother, biological mother, and even his half-sister have brought to the palace.
Especially at the festival banquet at this moment, the empress dowager, the biological mother of his heir father Xiaozong, and the empress dowager Ji, the first wife of Yuan's wife, were not present at all!
Even Empress Ji, who has a close relationship with these two, claimed to be sick and absent.
Thinking about it this way, don't you suspect that the scholar was attacking Yun Fenghuang in name, but in fact, he was implying that the emperor favored blood relatives and bullied Xiaozong's wife and mother? !
"My concubine, please be careful!" The scholar also knew the severity, how could he dare to accept such a hint? Immediately his expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "The student just thinks that the real concubine once had such a concubine, but what qualifications does she have to become a concubine of the Jiyun clan, let alone enter the palace as a concubine?!"
Yun Fenghuang glanced at him, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of people in the big prison in central Sichuan. Except for those who fled to other places, the local criminals are considered to be fellow scholars. According to the scholars' thinking, there are What qualifications do you have to come to the Imperial Capital to participate in Enke? After all, people from the same township are considered relatives and old relatives, right? You should find a Taoist temple or something, concentrate on practicing merit and virtue, and pay for your sins on your behalf!"
The scholar frowned: "Although there are some students from the same hometown among those people, on the one hand, the relationship is very strange, unlike the close relationship between the empress and Sister Ling, who grew up together since childhood; on the other hand, they..."
"Your Majesty!" Yun Fenghuang suddenly turned to Chunjia, and said seriously, "To tell the truth, the Sixth Miss Xie was indeed sent back to the Xie family suddenly by her husband's family, saying that she was not a woman. For the family tradition, but also to explain to the in-laws, I threw it into the pond in a hurry."
"However, afterwards, I always felt that this matter was quite suspicious!"
"After all, before the Sixth Miss Xie came out of the cabinet, she was recognized as gentle and demure, and her mother, Mrs. Jiang, was even famous for her virtues. The husband she married was in love with each other, but what she did would make Hong Xing out of the wall ?”
"It's just that the Sri Lankan has gone, so although there is suspicion, there is no evidence!"
"But today, this scholar is aggressive, and I suddenly feel that this matter is very suspicious—otherwise, the scholar far away in the middle of Sichuan has not yet entered an official position, and has nothing to do with the harem. Why do I want to target my wife like this? Put my concubine to death?!"
She had been avoiding admitting that Xie Fenghuan Hongxing had cheated on the sidelines before, but just now she suddenly admitted that everyone was a little surprised, only a little distracted, and listened to her eloquently. At this point, the regent's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly shouted: "Why does the real concubine continue with this sour scholar?! Today's festival banquet, he is also worthy to be here to disturb people's interest and waste time?! It's really just a display for the elders in the palace and the emperor. I don't know your virtuousness, virtue, Bingqingyujie?! Yigu sees it, why don't you just drag him down and kill him!"
But it's too late!
Yun Fenghuang ignored him at all, and knelt down in front of Chunjia in public, and bowed his head solemnly: "I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate what happened back then, and return my concubine's innocence and Mrs. Xie's innocence. What's more, I am as old as my concubine." , All the daughters of the Xie family who have been wronged all these years because of the sixth Miss Xie are innocent!!!"
Before the regent could stop her words, Chun Jia gently put down the wine cup, stepped forward to help Yun Feng Huang up, and said softly, "Yes."
Yun Fenghuang raised her head, and the moment she met him, the imperial concubine showed a tacit understanding, she bowed her head again, her posture was soft, and her voice was sweet and soft: "Concubine, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"
The three children of the Xie family looked at each other in blank dismay, they never expected that things would develop like this.
After a while, just now, under the reminder of his companion, he got up and left his seat in a panic, knelt down beside the scholar, and kowtowed: "Student, thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"
