Chapter 115 Do You Want to Be a Queen?
Gongxiang Ruoheng was impeached!
The reason is that he built a large-scale construction project in Fuyang County to build the palace, and he also selected young and beautiful sons of good families to enrich the mansion, thinking of him as his favorite.
This kind of thing, in fact, the vassal kings of various places have similar behaviors.
Some people who are not very interested in sensuality, in order to show the court that they have no ambitions, may have to come a few times to defile themselves, especially those who failed to seize the reserve.
This King of Fuyang, the heir of Chunjia's biological father's lineage, would be fine if he grasped a certain degree, but he didn't know if he had lost his head, and he actually made Fuyang County go up and down the sky-angry people, even Yu Zuuan came to the imperial capital to sue the Imperial Court!
"Your Majesty calm down, I beg Your Majesty to be merciful!" Upon hearing the news, two concubines from Gongxiang Ruoheng's biological father Zhou Wang's mansion hurriedly rushed to Taichu Palace, the foreign minister couldn't kneel down, and pleaded for Gongxiang Ruoheng.
After all, their family members are all in the hands of Gong Xiangruo's biological mother, even if they know that they will offend the emperor, they still have to show up.
Now that Chunjia has forgotten their surnames, she naturally ignores them, let them kneel down, and just rages in the imperial study room: "This bastard! When I came to me, I saw that although he was not a smart person, After all, it’s still sensible! It’s only been a few days now?! It’s just here in Yurou Township, it’s simply lawless!!!”
It must be known that Chunjia did not practice Zuo until he was 15 years old when the governor of Fuyang County. Before that, he never thought that he would be an emperor. He was serious about managing Fuyang County as his own territory. Not much.
Because it is a clan with distant bloodlines, the population is weak, young, orphans and widows, there is no need for the court to suspect ulterior motives just because they are eager to learn and make progress. Chunjia can be said to have spent a lot of time learning how to take care of this feudal kingdom.
Even though he is now rich all over the world, the hometown he spent so much time in when he was a teenager must be different in his heart.
Although it was an unavoidable choice for Gong Xiangruo to follow the lineage of King Fuyang at the beginning, Chunjia never thought that he would have a biological father as old and cunning as King Zhou, and a wise mother and concubine like Princess Lin who would judge the situation. Gong Xiangruo, who was able to make such a big commotion when he was able to do his best for the vassal king alone for only three or two years.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think that even if King Fuyang is separated from his parents and unrestrained, he will not fall so quickly." Deng Chengzhai persuaded from the side, "Maybe there is something wrong."
Chunjia sneered and said, "Don't worry about the inside story, the people of Fuyang complained about it, did they wrong him?"
"...As far as the current evidence is concerned, there is no." Deng Chengzhai thought for a while and said, "However, King Fuyang is young, and he is the only biological child of Princess Lin. He is not sensible. King Zhou and Princess Lin are still ignorant. Is it? It is impossible not to send someone to raise something. How could these two not interfere when they found out that King Fuyang had acted inappropriately, and how could they make trouble to the point where the people in the fiefdom came to the imperial capital to beat the Dengwen drum?"
Zhou Wang and Lin Wangfei may be unable to stop the youngest son who was adopted out, but they may not be able to stop the common people who come to sue!
These days, it is difficult for merchants to go in and out, let alone a group of ordinary people who have never traveled far before? It was pure luck that they came all the way to the imperial capital to sue King Fuyang, and no one stopped them, who would believe it?
Chunjia frowned: "You mean, someone wants to make a fuss about my background?"
Deng Chengzhai said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is not what it used to be. I think this incident may not be aimed at His Majesty. It is possible that it is aimed at King Fuyang himself."
He said slowly, "I heard that the reason why King Fuyang built the palace and enriched the young women is because he has been childless for the past two years. Someone told him that it was..."
Speaking of this, there is hesitation, and he doesn't dare to speak.
The emperor snorted and said, "Speak!"
"Yes." Deng Chengzhai said in a low voice, "The King of Fuyang is worried about his heirs, and someone told him that it is because of the Fuyang Palace...the feng shui is lacking, so it is not suitable for heirs!"
"..." Chunjia frowned. At this time, it is very important for a big family to have no children, especially the clan, after all, they have the throne to inherit.
If the starting point is to consider for the heirs, then although Gongxiang Ruoheng's move is inappropriate, there are certain reasons for it.
But he didn't like the fact that the palace where he was born and raised was considered so. "The lineage of King Fuyang is indeed thin, but this is because the two generations of previous kings were weak. If it is concluded that the palace is not suitable for heirs, then What is the explanation for the imperial city? Shenzong Xiaozong has few heirs, and Xiaozong even has no children! However, how can I explain the number of children under my knees now?"
Deng Chengzhai said euphemistically, "Perhaps King Fuyang lost his position in desperation."
Some people are deceived not necessarily because of their clever tricks, but simply because they are too stupid.
That Gongxiang Ruoheng doesn't look particularly intelligent and quick-witted, maybe he is like this?
Chunjia sneered and said: "He can poison the people if he messes up? Then can I deal with him in a fit of anger?!"
After Deng Chengzhai spoke a few words of comfort, he asked the emperor what to do with this matter.
In the current situation, the emperor doesn't want to give Zhou Wang a lot of face. If he really cares about Fuyang County, he will directly let this Fuyang King cool down, and Zhou Wang can't help it.
but……
After all, Chunjia is not an impulsive person, he had a fit of anger, pondered for a while, and finally said: "Call him to the Imperial Capital to explain clearly!"
Deng Chengzhai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I obey."
Although Chunjia is not afraid of King Zhou now, but the regent is still there, and foreign troubles still exist, so it is better not to fall out with the clan if they can not fall out.
The most important thing is that King Zhou's status in the clan is not low, and if Gongxiang Ruoheng did such a wrong thing, it is more or less an opportunity to take advantage of King Zhou.
"The clan has been too disrespectful for the past two years." Chunjia was in a bad mood after she compromised. After returning to the harem, she went to the Huanhua Palace and murmured to Yunfenghuang, "If it's not that I can't do anything, I have to take care of it. No way!"
Yun Fenghuang persuaded: "Your Majesty is so young, the future will be long, isn't it a matter of time?"
The emperor felt more comfortable, and sighed softly: "Although the days ahead are long, there are still many things to be busy with!"
Then he mentioned King Qin and other heirs again, and said that he hoped that they would grow up early, study hard, and be able to help him in the future.
"Speaking of this, I don't know if those great Confucian scholars can be recruited?" Yun Fenghuang took advantage of the situation and asked, "And the one from the Prince Regent's Palace...will you agree to come into the palace to teach the princes and princesses?"
Chunjia squeezed his forehead, and murmured: "Of all the great Confucians in the world, there are only a few who have agreed, and there are still a few who are getting older and can't stand the bumpy road. I don't want to make things difficult..."
His reputation as a king has always been good. After eradicating the Ji family, stepping on the corpses of Ji's powerful officials of the three dynasties, he has confirmed the aptitude of a holy son and a virtuous king. He belongs to the kind of wise master respected by scholars all over the world.
So even noble celebrities are willing to give him some face.
Of course, the way the emperor treated the Ji family at the beginning also made the celebrities worry that if they didn't give this face, they would follow in the Ji family's footsteps...
In short, the teacher of the princes is guaranteed to be a great Confucian.
But Yun Fenghuang was still thinking about Wei Changkong, so he urged Chunjia: "If you let him come to the palace to give two lectures, it's not that you don't let him teach the youngest son of the Prince Regent, I think the Prince Regent will not object. "
"Uncle Wang doesn't like us bothering you." Chunjia said so, and she couldn't help pestering her, because she was curious about Wei Changkong, so she asked Yan Yin to go there in person the next day to deliver the oral order to the Prince Regent's mansion. , Xuan Wei Changkong entered the palace to have an audience.
Yun Fenghuang acted coquettishly and foolishly, and won the opportunity to peek behind the screen.
This well-known talent who was famous all over the world and was once amazed by the front and rear palaces was already middle-aged, with a bamboo crown and deep clothes, big sleeves fluttering, fair and beautiful, and a long beard carefully trimmed. Excellent demeanor... In short, he is the type who can make the emperor feel good at first sight just by his looks.
Not to mention that Xiaozong wished him so much back then, even Chunjia, after looking at him for a while, his tone became much gentler, he gave him a seat politely, and at the end he talked about worrying about the prince's upcoming school entrance.
"Your Majesty loves me so much, I shouldn't refuse." Wei Changkong has a reputation, even if he is not an official now, he doesn't need to call himself a "grassman". , the late emperor passed away, but the minister was not able to serve him, and I really feel ashamed. Now, what face do you have to accept the heavy responsibility of teaching the emperor's heir?"
Chun Jia said softly: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be fulfilled, so I can't blame you for this matter."
He also said that because Emperor Xiaozong favored Wei Changkong so much, if Wei Changkong missed the late emperor, wouldn't it be more important for him to take over the responsibility of teaching the emperor's heirs, so as to comfort the late emperor's spirit in heaven?
When he said this, neither he nor the wind and wind behind the screen had any hope of being able to convince Wei Changkong.
After all, judging from the behavior of this man who came to the Imperial Capital as a teacher for the youngest son of the Regent but did not become an official, he did not support Chunjia.
In other words, Wei Changkong was not optimistic about Chunjia.
Even if Chunjia took the initiative to extend an olive branch now, it would be a big deal, especially since Wei Changkong secretly had rumors of betraying Xiaozong, if he agreed at this moment, he might be considered to have betrayed the regent again, which is obviously very important to his reputation. Adverse.
Because of Wei Changkong's reputation, he would not do anything at the moment, and go back to the countryside to concentrate on learning, and he would have to leave his name in history.
There is no point in making bad comments over and over again.
In the end, Wei Changkong only thought about it for a while, and after two face-to-face conversations with Chunjia, he agreed.
This surprised even the imperial concubine. After Wei Changkong resigned, Yun Fenghuang walked out, frowned and said, "This Wei Liushou...why is it different from the rumors?"
Chunjia also frowned, and said after a while: "His knowledge is fair, and he is not alone in teaching the prince. Let's take a closer look at that time."
Hearing the suspicion in the emperor's tone, Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, before Wei Changkong entered the Prince Regent's Mansion to enlighten the Prince Regent's youngest son, and within two years, the son became Shouning Hou...
Although there is the emperor's help in this, it has a lot to do with the attitude of the regent and the second concubine.
The regent has always been kind to Gong Xiangxiao, the eldest son of the first wife.
Originally, an ordinary family only had two sons, and they loved them like treasures.
He is a regent who aspires to greatness, and he only has two sons. The younger son is rumored to be weak and sick, which is very disadvantageous. It is really incomprehensible that he can't cultivate the eldest son well.
This kind of behavior seems to have gradually become known after Wei Changkong entered the Regent's Palace.
So, who knew that Gong Xiangxiao was disgusted by his biological father and stepmother, and Wei Changkong wasn't acting as a hindrance?
Then Wei Changkong so easily agreed to be a teacher to the princes, maybe it was because he wanted to intervene in the royal family's future reserve position?
...But this is something Chunjia will be on guard against.
For Yun Fenghuang, the emperor's attitude is already very obvious. He loves Yun Fenghuang and loves Yunfenghuang's offspring. The daughter, the crown prince, will also be the heir of Zhenggong.
So if Wei Changkong really had ulterior motives and wanted to stir up the Tian family's children to fight among themselves, how good would that be?
It is easy to fish in muddy water. For Yun Fenghuang, it is difficult for her to turn the tables if she follows the steps.
I'm not afraid that Wei Liushou, the city mansion, is deep and ignorant of human affairs, but I am afraid that he is too loyal and patriotic to teach the princes to love each other!
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang immediately said: "It may be that I have been wasting for many years, and now I finally meet such a wise gentleman as Your Majesty, and I sincerely want to do something. After all, it is a pity that he has such a talent and learning, and has been in the countryside."
Chunjia didn't know what she was thinking, and said that she was praising herself in a different way, so she laughed it off, chatted a few gossips with the imperial concubine, and told her to go back.
Not long after Yun Fenghuang returned to Huanhua Palace, someone came from the queen's side, saying that Gu Zhen had summoned her to see her.
She wondered what was going on, but when she went to the Chongchang Hall and saw Gu Zhen lying on the couch in the bedroom, she realized that it was because of Wei Changkong: "I heard that His Majesty summoned him today for the admission of the princes?"
Gu Zhen's health has been deteriorating since the beginning of the new year, and of course her complexion is very bad now. She leaned on the stone-blue peony-patterned hidden pouch and asked feebly, "Has this matter been implemented? What do you think, imperial concubine?" of?"
"If you go back to the empress, this matter is almost inseparable, because Wei Changkong has already agreed to it." Yun Fenghuang looked at the queen a few times and said, "My empress...doesn't you like him?"
Gu Zhen was out of spirits, and closed his eyes to rest for a while after saying a few words. At this moment, he didn't open his eyes when he heard the words, but said a little weakly: "This is a rare talent in the past and present. How could I not like it? It's just that he has been Working in the Prince Regent's Mansion, and entering the palace for the first time, I don't know if I'm used to it or not?"
These words sounded like he was thinking of putting himself in Wei Changkong's shoes, but Yun Fenghuang understood that Gu Zhen was worried that Wei Changkong's relationship with the Prince Regent's House would become entangled, which would affect the prince in the future.
She pondered for a while, and said: "This person was chosen by His Majesty himself, and His Majesty's vision is as expected."
If there is something wrong with the person the emperor himself selected for his sons, the princes will not be blamed, right?
"...You are right." Gu Zhen sighed softly, and suddenly waved his hands to let the left and right back down, motioning Yun Fenghuang to step forward, and said in a low voice, "I feel that I am going to die soon, you... can you think about it?" Do you want to be the queen?"
