Chapter 66 Two-Pronged Approach

"What happened to Wangling?!" Chunjia put down her teeth and asked in a deep voice!

Fuyang County was entrusted to Chunjia's biological father's ancestors when the country was founded. Naturally, the only royal tombs recognized by this dynasty are the tombs of the previous kings of Fuyang County.

Although Chunjia had been adopted by Emperor Xiaozong, he was only a distant relative in the lineage of King Fuyang in terms of legal system, but after all, they are related by blood. At this time, "death is like life", how can we not care about the changes in the royal tomb?

The servant lay on the ground and tremblingly said: "Report to Your Majesty, the Wangling... for some reason, the Wangling's tomb collapsed halfway!"

"Is there any reason for such a big event?!" Yun Fenghuang frowned and scolded, "Where is the guardian of the tomb? There is no explanation?!"

The servant's voice was imperceptible: "It is rumored...the rumor is that it collapsed overnight, that night...there was a thunderstorm that night!"

Now the faces of the two emperors and concubines became more and more ugly: it is troublesome enough that something happened to Shan Wangling's mausoleum, plus the fact that it was destroyed by a lightning strike, one can imagine how many courtiers are already writing all night long.

At the court meeting tomorrow, I'm afraid Chunjia will be overwhelmed by the memorial sent up for this matter!

But that's not the worst part.

The most terrible thing is that the lineage of King Fuyang has been passed down for several generations. After Chunjia succeeded Xiaozong, this lineage has no male heirs!

Usually it’s fine, but now that the royal mausoleum is collapsing, no matter how big or small it is to deal with it, the descendants need to come to offer sacrifices in person, so as to comfort the spirits of the ancestors in heaven.

This is also easy to solve, the big deal is to temporarily pick an adoptive from the distant relatives of the clan to the line of King Fuyang. But the key point is that when Chunjia's successor Xiaozong came to the imperial capital from afar, the reason why Queen Mother Yuan, Queen Mother Qu, and Princess Kunze were able to follow, and even broke the rules, was that there was an important reason that the lineage of King Fuyang was born in Chunjia. There will be no more children.

The orphans and widows have nowhere to rely on, so they "can only" live in the palace city.

Now if King Fuyang has an heir, no matter whether the heir is an adult or not, will Queen Mother Qu, who was born as a wife and concubine of the Fuyang Prince's mansion and not the concubine of Xiaozong, also go back to Fuyang County to live with the heir?

If you think about it this way, there is no need for a thorough investigation. The emperor and concubine can already think that the accident in the royal tomb is probably caused by the Ji family!

but……

No proof.

After all, for such a big matter, as long as the perpetrator is not out of his mind, how can he leave evidence?

It is impossible to say that the people who have been sent out have all been silenced.

"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. Why don't you go to Chunjia Palace and Jiashan Palace to report to the two empress dowagers immediately." Seeing that Chunjia's face was livid, Yun Fenghuang said nothing for a long time, and asked the servant who reported the letter and other servants Withdrew and reminded in a low voice, "After all, how can we hide such things? I'm afraid that the two empress dowagers will not be able to bear it after hearing the news."

Let the two empress dowagers, especially the loving mother empress dowager, pretend to be sick to avoid going to Fuyang County?

Chunjia quickly understood what she meant, her eyes showed approval, and then she pondered again: "However, if the two queen mothers complain of illness, it is likely that they will not be able to see things in the future."

Otherwise, wouldn't the Ji family have a reason to urge them to go on the road and not to stay in the palace city anymore?

So even if Empress Dowager Yuan and Queen Mother Qu stayed, it wouldn't be of much use.

Originally Chunjia needed them, the focus was on the Empress Dowager Yuan, in order to help contain Ji's power in the harem, and to a certain extent offset the pressure from the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Ji—however, a queen mother who was "too sick to travel far" could what to do?

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Yun Fenghuang was delighted in his heart, but said in a deep voice on the face, "There is a concubine in the harem, so I will not give Ji the chance to get what he wants!"

Ji is really awesome!

Before that, she secretly called this family a waste!

It seems that they were wrongly blamed!

Finally, finally, although Queen Mother Yuan didn't get out, she was going to call her sick anyway, or the kind of calling her sick who was stared at by Mrs. Ji and couldn't live as usual under the banner of calling her sick!

Waiting for this master to enter the cage, isn't it time for her to flex her muscles? !

Moreover, without the help of a mother who is not her own mother but is better than her own mother, how could Chunjia not support her more as a favorite concubine? !

the most important is……

Didn't the Ji family pinch her weakness?

Hehehe, she will soon be Chunjia's chief ally in the harem, and there will be no Empress Dowager Yuan on top of her. At that time, if the Ji family spreads any bad news about her, I am afraid that Chunjia will be more anxious than her to clean her up. white.

As for whether Chunjia will settle old scores afterwards, she is not stupid, helping Chunjia and plumping her own wings does not conflict-it's not like her blood relative, Xie, can't help her!

At this moment, Yun Fenghuang had to think over and over again all the sorrow and pain he had experienced before, so that he could maintain a heavy and serious expression: "It is the choice of heir, please consider carefully, and you must not let the Ji family decide. Otherwise, the heir Even if the two empress dowagers cannot be ushered to the fiefdom to support them, if they come to the imperial capital to open the mansion in person and want to take the two empress dowagers to the palace to take care of them in person, your majesty is the son of heaven, and it is not easy to stop them."

After all, Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu are only Xiaozong's distant siblings, and it's okay to say that they can't travel far because of illness.

If the heirs have all rushed to the imperial capital to take care of their stepmother, and the emperor still stops them, it is really unreasonable-no matter how serious the illness is, it is unjustifiable, because of the custom at this time, the old man has to die in his own house before he dies. stable.

It is not auspicious for the family to die in someone else's house, and it is not a good thing for the old man himself.

Of course, Chunjia could also use the ancestral precepts that the vassal kings are not allowed to enter and stay in Beijing without edicts to stop their heirs.

But just like the two empress dowagers claiming to be sick, it can only serve as a way to delay the attack.

After all, at this time, the whole country pays attention to filial piety, and people have to be filial. Your son of heaven will either send his stepmother to the mother-child reunion, or allow him to come to the imperial capital to fulfill filial piety... Keep separating mother and child according to the legal system, what is this? ?

"...I am determined to choose the younger clan as the heir." Chunjia also knew this truth, nodded with a sullen face, and said, "Just choose the one under the age of seven."

At this age, it is enough for someone to lead you to sacrifice to the royal tomb and go through the procedures. But it has not yet reached the time when he can take care of his stepmother alone, instead he needs the protection and guidance of his stepmother.

At that time, Chunjia will arrange some personal guidance for him, and the possibility of pulling him on his side is still very high.

only……

The emperor finally angrily said: "Mr. Ji... I will remember it! If in the future..."

He sneered and didn't finish his sentence, but Yun Fenghuang had already guessed that the fall of his Riji family might also mean that his ancestral grave would not be preserved...

After all, Chunjia's magnanimity will be magnanimous, and vengeance will be reported. She still feels guilty when she recalls Jiang's teachings...

"It's not too late, Your Majesty, hurry up and talk to the two empress dowagers!" Yun Fenghuang calmed down and persuaded in a low voice, "After all, the two empress dowagers have been very healthy recently, this is something that everyone knows."

So even if everyone knows that the two empress dowagers called the illness a countermeasure after hearing the news, there must be a reason!

Hearing the bad news at first was deeply stimulated, so he couldn't get sick... Isn't this the root cause of the door-to-door delivery?

If someone else takes the lead, the two empress dowagers' acting skills are not good enough, or their reaction is not fast enough, how can we deal with it?

"I'll go there first." Chunjia exhaled, shook her hand vigorously, and told her in a low voice, "Just pack up, I'm afraid I'll have to go over later, when the time comes, I'll tell you to come back and take care of the emperor's heir, When you go, bring two sensible concubines with you to perform filial piety on your behalf."

After all, the two empress dowagers suddenly fell ill after hearing the bad news, which would naturally alarm the Six Palaces. The emperor might not be able to stay at the sick bed all the time because of state affairs, but the concubines would definitely go to attend to the sick.

Yun Fenghuang nodded: "I understand, Your Majesty, let's go, I will go there as soon as I receive the news!"

Watching Chunjia leave in such a hurry, she walked into the inner room alone with a sullen face, closed the doors and windows to make sure there was no one around, and then laughed happily!

But he was only happy for a moment, so he quickly calmed down, regained his heavy expression, went outside, called Yi Xingen to him, and said: "I was originally asked to serve His Majesty today, but now something happened, Your Majesty is going to the Spring Palace...you go and clean up, and you will go there with me later."

He also ordered people to pass on Qu Hongzhuan, as a candidate to perform filial piety on her behalf.

Yi Xingen asked cautiously: "Dare to ask the empress, but I don't know what happened, what should I do?"

Yun Fenghuang looked at her attire at the moment, and said: "Go for some fancy decorations, but don't be too plain."

With a low voice, "I'm going to serve the sick on behalf of the palace, and it's fine to serve those who are more convenient."

Yi Xingen quickly blessed Fu and went back to her own residence to tidy up.

Yun Fenghuang sat down in the hall, pinching his forehead to hide his happiness.

The left and right didn't know her mood, so they gathered around to comfort her: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and you will be fine."

"This palace can't take it lightly." Hearing these words, Yun Fenghuang became vigilant, thinking, "Ji is not stupid, knowing that moving the royal tomb will be with His Majesty forever, but still did it , obviously determined to trip up the two empress dowagers who are standing on His Majesty's side, so why can't I consider my palace?"

To put it bluntly, she is probably more important to Chunjia in the harem than Queen Mother Yuan.

Because the Empress Dowager Yuan is under the pressure of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is in the hands of the Queen Mother, in fact, there is not much that can be done. After all, it is impossible for her to let go of her dignity and personally discuss with the queen one after another about the palace affairs - but Yun Fenghuang does not have this restriction, and can charge forward in various matters as much as she wants.

So, regardless of the overall situation or the hatred these days, how could the Ji family miss her as a concubine?

Yun Fenghuang's eyes were deep: "It's no wonder that Qi Jiulu doesn't have an accident sooner or later, and now that there is an accident, he still has to come to the Imperial Capital... Ji... This is a two-pronged approach, and he is determined to abolish His Majesty's help in the harem!"

At this time, if she still believed that Qi Jiulu was targeted by Luo Tieyi, she would have spent so long in the palace for nothing!

"This matter must be told to His Majesty immediately, but if you are frank, I am afraid that His Majesty will be suspicious again after counting the time." Yun Fenghuang bit his lip, thought quickly, and ordered the Qing people, "King Fuyang There has been a change in the mausoleum, and I am afraid that the front and rear palaces will not be peaceful. You can call people out of the palace later, and go to Brother Thirteen to inform them, and tell them to be cautious in their words and deeds. Add chaos!"

The Qing people took the order and left with a serious expression.

Yun Fenghuang stared at her back, thoughtfully: When the Qing people came back, they would tell the emperor, originally it was just for safety, fearing that the Ji family would start from her natal family and make what happened to Xie Fu last year repeat. Only then did I arrange for the palace servants to run an errand. I didn't expect that after my mother's family heard about it, they immediately remembered it and told Qi Jiulu the news...

The Xie family and the Qi family live next to each other in the north, so it is reasonable to know the situation of the eldest son of the Qi family.

Originally, since the two families had terminated their engagement, the Xie family would of course not tell their daughter about the movements of the eldest son of the Qi family.

The reason why I brought it up was because I was afraid that it might be related to the change of the royal tomb, and I might miss a major event.

In this way, not only can we get rid of the suspicion that our own people are still paying attention to Qi Jiulu in the deep palace, but also express to the emperor from the side, that his brothers are smart, intelligent, loyal and decisive, in short, they can take on great responsibilities... Concentrating on the emotions in his eyes, the silk handkerchief in his hand was twisted into a ball: But I don't know, how Chunjia will treat Qi Jiulu after hearing the news?
