Chapter 147 Chunjia: Don't Worry...

The sudden death of the empress dowager surprised the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty!

Fortunately, a military commander reacted quickly and threw the elephant wat in his hand, which stopped the empress dowager in time. Even so, the tip of the hairpin still drew a bloodstain on his neck, and the bright red blood slowly slid down his fair skin. It was shocking to look at.

On the throne, Chunjia got up suddenly, quickly stepped down from Danchi, and stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager: "I will send the emperor's grandmother back to the palace."

He tilted his head and ordered, "Duke Yi sent Ye Guogong and his son back to the mansion, and we will discuss how to deal with it after I settle down with the emperor's grandmother."

Duke Yi's complexion is not very good: "I obey the order."

Not only was his expression unhappy, but Ouyang Yanran also had a gloomy expression: murdering Xiaozong's heir, the point is to make Xiaozong childless, such a serious crime, it is reasonable and reasonable, it is no problem for the mother, empress dowager and even the Ji family to be wiped out.

Even the empress dowager, Chunjia said she was innocent, and she was deceived... At most, she would not move the seat of the empress dowager, the empress of Shenzong Yuan, but in the future, Chunjia's imperial grandmother would have no face Pointing fingers?

After all, if she hadn't recommended her niece to be Xiaozong's official wife, and hadn't discovered Ji Sheng's murder of the concubines, how could Emperor Xiaozong have no son and had to adopt Chunjia as his heir? It is also the direct branch of the Gongxiang family that there are few people around now, and they are all juniors of the empress dowager.

If it was placed in the common family, the hard-hearted ones would probably send her down to plead guilty with the ancestors; the soft-hearted ones would have found a family temple and sent her to pray for blessings for the rest of her life to atone for her sins.

From then on, there is no name of elders but no majesty and power of elders.

... This is the most beneficial approach for Chunjia, not only because Chunjia was supported by the Ji family, but also because his heir, Xiaozong, is the biological son of the Empress Dowager.

The dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and the people in the world pay attention to the parents who have everything in the world.

No matter how insane the Empress Dowager did, unless there was solid evidence to murder Emperor Shenzong, otherwise, as Xiaozong's heir, Chunjia would not be able to do anything to her, otherwise she would be considered unfilial and unrighteous.

And if the Empress Dowager is convicted of murdering Emperor Shenzong...

As the so-called repayment of mother's debts, the late Emperor Xiaozong had to be criticized, so as Xiaozong's heir, how could Chunjia end up well?

Don't forget that even if the Ji family falls, Chunjia's throne is not safe, and there is still a regent watching over him.

If the empress dowager bears the name of a poisonous woman, wouldn't it be cheap for the king regent to take advantage of the issue to suppress Xiaozong's lineage and build momentum for himself!

So from the very beginning, Chunjia didn't plan to do anything to the Empress Dowager, to get rid of the Empress Dowager Ji and the Ji family. Only the Empress Dowager can't do anything alone, and she can be a memorial archway, and she can be pulled out on New Year's Day to ask for warmth. It is to prove the kindness of his heir.

The problem is, the empress dowager obviously also saw this, so even though she rushed over, she didn't say anything: she is the daughter of the Ji family, but she is the daughter-in-law of the Gongxiang family after Shenzong Yuan.

If Mrs. Ji did something common wrong, she would just plead for love with her natal family.

But it involves counting the heirs of the Gongxiang family, and it is such a serious crime as to cause the extinction of her own son - if she still speaks to the Ji family, the Gongxiang family in the world will probably be excited, and the people in the world will not on her side.

After all, Emperor Xiaozong was not as simple as having several heirs murdered, he was extinct.

Who can bear this kind of thing?

Even the Empress Dowager cannot turn the tide at this time.

It's fine if she doesn't speak up, but if she does, not only will she not be able to keep the Ji family, but she will even be cast aside by the world.

If you only want to go here, don't worry about what the empress dowager thinks, anyway, you have to cooperate with Chunjia's arrangement in action.

But the empress dowager committed suicide in public!

Just now Chunjia also said that the matter of Xiaozong's death had nothing to do with her, it was all done by the Empress Dowager Ji, and it was Ji's goddaughter who had no way to do it. Well now, this innocent and blinded empress dowager doesn't want to live anymore!

Still don't want to live in public!

So even if she is sent back to the harem, if the Empress Dowager makes a mistake, who will be responsible?

It is difficult for Chunjia to escape.

Because when the time comes, it will be hard not to doubt him without such words: "Although the mother, the empress dowager is devoid of conscience, and the Ji family is not a good one, the empress dowager is completely innocent. She is so old, and her only biological son, Emperor Xiaozong, is extinct. It's already hard enough, but now I know that it wasn't that Emperor Xiaozong was destined to be childless, but that he chose a vicious woman for Emperor Xiaozong in the early years... Who can bear it?"

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty. Since you have obtained so much evidence from the Imperial City Department, how can you still not know the blow to the Empress Dowager after the Empress Dowager finds out about it?"

"And still did it."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager... Sigh, why bother? It's a grandparent's grandchildren!"

"The empress dowager is also such an old person..."

And: "What? The servants were careless, causing the empress dowager to have trouble again?! Well, who knows if it's really carelessness or fake carelessness?"

"That's right. After all, the Empress Dowager was unable to think about it when she was in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Although she was stopped at that time, after this incident, who can not understand her old man's mood now? Don't pay attention to it. Could it be that many palace people are dead? Or does His Majesty think that the Empress Dowager... Cough, cough, don't say it, don't say it!"

So in the future, Chunjia will have to show filial piety to the imperial grandmother, so as not to be suspected that he wants to kill them all - this kind of filial piety is not a problem, the question is, will the empress dowager cooperate with his filial piety?

To put it bluntly, the Empress Dowager was forcing him to give the Ji family a chance and not to do things to the extreme.

Duke Yi and Ouyang Yanran saw this, how could they be happy?

They have worked so hard for so long before they found a chance to get rid of the Ji family, and there are still a large number of Ji family members waiting for them to purge them. As a result, the empress dowager came later. Judging from his behavior, it is likely that he will risk his life to make the emperor get a bad reputation; if Chunjia agrees, the upper echelons are so merciful, let alone the lower ones?

The Ji family has been in power for three dynasties, and it's not just eating dry food.

But if you give them a chance, who knows what will happen in the future?

Ouyang Yanran is a clear example. When the Ji family sent him away, didn't they think that he had no hope and could only die in another country?

Cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will give birth again!

After escorting Ye Guogong, father and son back to Ji Mansion, Yi Guogong turned to Ouyang Yanran: "What do you think His Majesty will do?"

At the same time, in the Qingci Palace, the imperial doctor who was urgently called in bandaged the empress dowager's wounds, and took her leave carefully——the empress dowager looked at the filial Chunjia not far away, with complicated eyes: "Ai family knows You have deep resentment towards the Ji clan, and you don't ask for anything else, the Ji clan has sixteen-year-old heirs, let them live and be demoted to remote places, and they are not allowed to be officials for three generations, how about that?"

This requirement is a big compromise.

At least for the Empress Dowager, the concession was great.

Although the Ji family has many children, it is precisely because of the large number of people that they are not in a hurry to cultivate young children to stand up as the head of the family. The children under the age of sixteen, regardless of whether they are born in the same family or concubines, are still living under the wings of their parents. The good life, never experienced wind and rain.

In addition, they were relegated to a remote place instead of being sent back to the hometown where they had received the favor of their parents and had many relatives. It would be nice for a group of teenagers and children to gain a foothold.

In the end, there was a ban on being an official within three generations—it can be said that the hope of the Ji family's comeback has been wiped out for a hundred years.

"Grandmother, this is a big matter. I am the heir of Emperor Xiaozong, not my own son. How can such matters be settled with one word?" Chunjia listened, and said gently, "We have to wait for the uncles and uncles to arrive together." After that, it’s up to the clan to discuss together.”

"Of course, I will tell them the meaning of the emperor's grandmother."

The Empress Dowager stared at him for a while, then said slowly: "If Aijia said, Aijia really doesn't know that civet cats can be used to hinder the heirs... Do you believe it?"

"Of course I believe in the emperor's grandmother." Chunjia said without hesitation, "Just now in the palace, I said so. You are the mother of Emperor Xiaozong, how can there be a mother in this world who favors her family to the point where she would rather her own son be extinct?" Don’t think too much about the imperial grandmother, no matter what, you are my imperial grandmother and the empress dowager of the country.”

Speaking of getting up, he said politely, "I still have government affairs to deal with, please let the imperial grandmother settle down for now, and I will come to see you later."

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips, she didn't know why, she felt flustered, she didn't want him to leave, but right now she didn't have the right to be willful, so she closed her eyes and said in a low voice, "Okay."

Seeing Chunjia turn around, she couldn't help asking again, "I wonder when the clan members will gather together?"

"I have ordered people to send a message quickly. I think all the uncles and uncles will come over as soon as possible, probably in three or two months." Chunjia stopped, turned her head and smiled at her, her smile was very gentle, and her voice was soft. He said, "In the past three or two months, Ye Guogong and the others will be wronged, and they will temporarily live in the mansion."

Compared with Ji's current crisis, grounding and so on are trivial matters.

The Empress Dowager naturally wouldn't object, she nodded and let him leave, thinking about how to remind Lord Ye to prepare for the worst, for example, let the humble children in the family hide a few.

Unbeknownst to Chunjia, she just returned to Taichu Palace, changed two memorials as if nothing had happened, and then a servant brought Zheng Fengsen and Zheng Fengfen to see him.

The two men were wearing armor, their sleeves were stained with blood, and their murderous aura had not yet dissipated. As soon as they entered the door, they knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice: "The sinners, Zheng Fengsen and Zheng Fenglin, were ordered by the Regent to kill the whole family of the Ji family. Please forgive me!"

Zheng Fenglin followed his knees and went forward to kowtow, and said with sorrow: "The common man Zheng has served His Majesty for eight years, and there is nothing wrong with it. The reason why there are many jealous and unvirtuous behaviors after that is because the little prince died tragically in his womb. The culprit is the Ji family. The sinner and the elder brother are only a commoner Zheng, a sister who grew up together since childhood, as if she was born with the same mother. I didn't know the inside story before. My heart aches, but I have nothing to say."

"Since I learned the truth just now, I really hate it!"

"Therefore, knowing that the regent has no orders from His Majesty, he still obeyed his orders and led the forbidden army to surround the Ji mansion, killing all the Ji family members and servants, thinking that the elder sister and the little prince will avenge their hatred!"

"The sinner knows that the crime is serious, and dare not ask His Majesty for forgiveness. He only asks His Majesty to think of my father's old age and frailty, and to be loyal to His Majesty. Don't blame my father!"

"All kinds of crimes, the sin will be willing to bear it all!"

"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
