Chapter 144 Yun Fenghuang: I Am Really Suffering...
Chen Zhu swallowed his saliva, and then hurriedly said: "The people in the Royal Beast Garden confessed that the royal family has had no heirs for three generations, and even...even the reason why the late Emperor Xiaozong died of heirs was because...the empress dowager and the empress mother Empress Dowager, it was caused by intentionally raising civet cats!"
After saying this, Yun Fenghuang and his attendants were all shocked: "Really?"
Seeing Chen Zhu nodding his head affirmatively, Yun Fenghuang took several deep breaths, stabilized his mind, and said, "But I don't know how the civet cat hindered the heirs of the Tian family?"
Regarding the fact that Empress Dowager Ji has no good intentions in raising civet cats in the palace, no matter whether she is a concubine or Concubine Xuan Rui, any concubine who is in the same position as Chunjia will not be suspicious.
The problem is that the key to it has never been found out.
After all, these civet cats roamed among the palaces, except for the rare case where the palace lady Miao Cai died after being scratched and bitten, at most it hurt the face of a certain concubine.
And someone like Yun Fenghuang who is suspicious and sick, stays vigilant from the first palm, never giving any civet cats a chance to get close to her... Anyway, so far, I haven't seen what those civet cats have done to her?
Therefore, when I heard that the two generations of phoenix masters used this little beast to deceive the three generations of the Gongxiang family, even Yun Fenghuang couldn't help being confused, "Although not everyone in the market raises civet cats, there are quite a few of them. I was born in the Northland Xie family, some aunts and sisters in the family also raise one or several civet cats for fun... But after leaving the cabinet, they still have children?"
After all, civet cats have been kept by people for many years. If they are really raised, they will hinder their offspring. How can there be no rumors?
"Your Majesty, forgive me. The envoy of the imperial city relayed a lot of medical theories, such as the three corpses, and the servants did not read much, but they couldn't write them all down. In short, this confession has been obtained by several adults in the court who are proficient in the art of apricot forest. Approved." Chen Zhu wiped his cold sweat, "Even the clan was alarmed, when the slaves came, His Majesty had sent someone to invite His Royal Highness Princess Dongxing and other clans."
The two generations of Gongxiang's direct branch are very weak because of their small population, but there are still some brothers and sisters of Shenzong, as well as their descendants.
Although the vassal kings were canonized outside and could not return to Beijing without an edict, the princesses were not subject to this restriction because they could not inherit the throne.
So some of them are rich or dislike that the fief is not as prosperous as the imperial capital, some are in order to facilitate the relationship with the emperor, and some are concubines and sons who are officials in the court and are unwilling to part... In short, the imperial capital is home to several eldest princesses and princesses. .
Although these are married women, they are all of Gongxiang's blood after all, and most of them are Chunjia's elders. How can they not be present for the important event involving the three emperors' heirs?
And since Chunjia invited these people to the temple, he might not only target the Ji family this time, but even the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Ji would not let it go.
Yun Fenghuang was surprised at the emperor's ruthlessness, but also felt a little at a loss.
Last time, everyone was waiting to see how Chunjia would break the situation. Chao's Qianli went to Beijing to appeal for his husband's grievances, but he calmly turned the court around; When, what kind of trigger will happen? Even after the news of Ruishou's accident came out, it was confirmed inside and outside that the accident of Ruishou on the eye bone must have something to do with the trip to the Taimiao.
Then what?
The trip to the Taimiao is a blindfold, and the auspicious beast is also a blindfold.
The real meat of the show is those veterinarians in the Royal Beast Garden whose names no one knows!
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but think back to the situation when she talked with Chunjia. Of course, it wasn't the time when Chunjia was killed by her when she deliberately hid her clumsiness. When you want to vomit blood.
Her own chess style is the aggressive and slanted style of the sword, while Chunjia is erratic and erratic under the majesty, making a move here and there, seemingly random, and often ends up causing the opponent to die without knowing how to die—this is It's also the reason why she came up with interest and pulled him to play chess not long ago, and she didn't even win the regrettable game.
You don't even know what he's up to until the end.
...Speaking of such an emperor, can I really hide the things I did in private from him?
Yun Fenghuang was a little sad, she felt that her life was too miserable, and it was fine to enter the palace in a daze, why did she have to catch up with such a shrewd and powerful emperor?
Not to mention comparing it with those idiots in the history books who don't know the difference between wheat and wheat, it would be better to change her to someone like Xiaozong!
How wicked is the Ji family?
There are so many children from the clan, orphans and widows who have been selected out of thousands of people, and Chunjia just met?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that her virtues are not much better, otherwise she would have been on Chunjia's side...
Forget it!
Gathering his mind, Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "What about the Ji family? How is the Ji family now?"
"Of course the Ji family is complaining for the two empresses." Chen Zhu said, "The servant also saw a little maid running to Qingci Palace and Yanfu Palace, so I think she is going to inform the two empresses... But look at the imperial city envoy. The appearance, but the evidence is conclusive..."
Of course the evidence will be conclusive, Yun Fenghuang said in his heart, Chunjia is such a forbearing person, this time he is not simply dealing with the Ji family, but even the two biggest cards of the Ji family, the empress dowager and the empress dowager are not going to let go How could it be possible not to be fully prepared before starting?
Even if the Empress Dowager and Empress Ji rushed to the front court at this moment, they would probably be powerless.
She didn't want to miss such a big commotion, so she immediately ordered: "Groom me, and Bengong will also go and have a look."
Concubine Xian was still thinking about whether to wear a heart-returning bun or a shocking bun, but the court hall ahead had already exploded!
The grievances and grievances between the emperor and the Ji family are well known to all civil and military officials in the whole dynasty.
During this period of time, many people have noticed the impending rain.
Therefore, if there is a major change recently, even if it is a palace change, everyone is mentally prepared and will not feel too surprised.
But no one expected that this doomed dispute would be opened in such a way—although most of the scholars at the moment understand the art of Qi and Huang, but this is a big matter. Up and down, as well as the veterinarians that the imperial capital can find in a short time, all summoned over!
Even the Secretary of the Imperial City put the civet cats in the Royal Beast Garden into cages, and piled up dozens of them waiting at the gate of the palace.
After such a battle was laid out, Chunjia, who was sitting high on the throne, looked around and said slowly: "It is related to the two former emperors Xiaozong and Shenzong, and the fact that I had few children before the age of last year. It also involves the virtues of the emperor's grandmother and Empress Ji It cannot be ignored. Today, I summoned the Qitai Hospital and all the veterinarians to thoroughly investigate the truth in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and all the aunts and sisters, so as to distinguish right from wrong... Do you have any objections?"
Duke Yi and others below naturally said that His Majesty is holy, and the clan members headed by the eldest princess all looked downcast and had no objections.
After all, the imperial power has declined over the years, and they have to work hard to keep a low profile. Their status and power are far less than when Shenzong was in power.
At that time, although Shenzong did not give much preferential treatment to his sisters and nieces, he would not deduct what should be given.
Neng Jun is in power, as long as the clan and nobles don't commit suicide, the basic majesty and dignity are always fine.
However, since the Ji family came to power in Shenzong's later years, even Emperor Xiaozong died of anger and depression, so how could he take them seriously?
Although he didn't say he was deliberately troubling them, Ji's control of the government and the development of party members actually suppressed the status and power of them and their husbands and children.
Moreover, several clan daughters' husbands took the initiative to join the Ji family in order to get promoted, which made them feel mixed.
After all, women's status these days is closely related to her natal family, just like when the Ji family was powerful, Empress Ji didn't pay attention to Chunjia and Queen Mother Yuan at all, but they still lived a prosperous life, and none of the six palaces dared to disobey. When he was in power, even if he didn't take special care of his aunts, sisters and nieces, they would never have a hard time after they were relegated or left the cabinet.
Because they are the daughters of the Gongxiang family, how could the emperor not favor them, but how could he sit back and watch them being bullied by outsiders?
However, since Xiaozong's time, the royal family has gradually declined, and the status of the clan daughters in the husband's family has also changed quietly.
Not to mention being deliberately harsh, but as before, it is impossible to make a decision in the back room.
For example, Princess Dongxing, who is already at the level of an old lady, is okay. Those who are younger, whose husbands are still in their prime, facing Yingying and Yanyan in the backyard, how can they not regret the decline of the royal family, so that their husbands do not let themselves go. In the eyes? !
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" These people all approved of Chunjia's handling method, but Ye Guogong had to stand up to stop him, and said in a deep voice, "What are the identities of the empress dowager and the empress dowager? Can a veterinarian slander you? Your Majesty, as the grandson of the Empress Dowager, and the heir of the Empress Dowager, after hearing such absurd words, did not think about dealing with those who spread the rumors seriously, and instead resorted to violence, how could it be the son of man?"
"Furthermore, His Majesty Emperor Shenzong has always been wise and courageous, and His Majesty Xiaozong is purely filial and quick-witted. The two previous emperors were not stupid people, and they held the Imperial City Secretary in their hands. How could they be plotted by mere civet cats as their heirs!?"
"Could it be that the Imperial City Department of the Imperial Hospital who came over from the time of His Majesty Emperor Shenzong knew the inside story but no one was loyal, so they all worked together to hide it from His Majesty?"
While speaking, he glanced at Sun Yu, the imperial envoy under his eyes, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and said hesitantly, "If I remember correctly, Sun Zixun, you also came here from the time of Emperor Xiaozong. At that time, there were civet cats in the palace... ...Why didn't your Imperial City Division say anything about these animals being harmful to your offspring? The Imperial City Division monitors the world, and the Royal Beast Garden is also among them, right?!"
He looked at a group of imperial physicians not far away, "So is Gu Yuanshi, your qualifications are older than Sun Zixun, and you entered the imperial hospital when Emperor Shenzong was emperor. You also asked His Majesty Xiaozong for pulse. How can every veterinarian know about it?" Son, you have been going up and down in the hospital for so many years, but you haven't noticed anything?!"
Duke Yi couldn't help standing up and scolding: "Absurd! Are you blatantly threatening the Imperial City Department and the Imperial Hospital in front of His Majesty and in front of everyone?!"
"The old man is wrong?" Ye Guogong snorted, stroked his long beard under his chin, and said proudly, "If someone tells His Majesty, not long after the death of King Fuyangduan, his mother Zhuang Taifei died immediately. , Fuyang Palace completely fell into the hands of the loving mother Empress Dowager, because there is something inside the story—Zhuang Taifei was actually murdered by the loving mother Empress Dowager! But I don’t know if Your Majesty is going to investigate thoroughly, or severely punish those who spread rumors?"
Impressively, it clearly stated that Chunjia did not trust and protect his stepmother, stepmother and grandmother. In name, he is Xiaozong's heir, but in fact he still thinks of Fuyang King's line of affection!
Everyone subconsciously looked at Chunjia on the throne!
