Chapter 190 Chaos Battle (Part 1)

Yun Jieyu's suicide note caused an uproar in the temple!

Duke Yi was particularly embarrassed: "Your Majesty, although my wife is stubborn, she is definitely not a vicious person. How could she do such a thing? The treatment has always been like that of a descendant! This point can also be proved by the noble concubine Min in the palace! May I ask the minister's wife treats Yun Jieyu so well, how can she have the heart to murder her heir, let alone the fourth prince is not only the flesh and blood of his majesty, but also the grandson of the minister? It's nonsense to make His Royal Highness the King of Qin receive the attention of the Duke of Yiguo! No matter whether it is His Royal Highness Qin or the fourth prince, the most reliable person is His Majesty, the clan! What kind of grandfather is this minister?"

"Although Yun Jieyu has been in the palace for several years, she has always lived in seclusion because of her dull temperament. But where did she get the ability to kill His Highness King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing who are under the knees of Concubine Min Gui?"

"Your Majesty, please be aware that this suicide note may not be true!"

While speaking, Duke Yi glared at Old Master Gu and other courtiers of Uncle Zhaowu who were not far away.

Old Mrs. Gu: "..."

Tired!

I didn't expect my granddaughter to make such a fuss!

He was still rejoicing just now, although Chunjia tried his best to defend the Gu family at the court meeting yesterday, and even entrusted him with the task of tracking down the rebels, but since the rebels are under the banner of participating in the crusade against Hele All the way to Beijing, it is obviously inseparable from the Dingbei Army. Before the truth is found out and the Gu family is completely cleared of the suspicion of treason, it is hard for Mrs. Gu to sit on pins and needles.

As a result, the harem got into trouble, and the two biggest rivals of Empress Gu, the empress dowager and the concubine were torn apart. This was naturally the best thing for the Gu family!

A moment ago, Mrs. Gu was still encouraging Uncle Xingning and Yin Qu in his heart, hoping that their tearing would be more tragic, so as to attract the attention of the ruling and opposition parties, and not all focus on Gu.

Then the queen sent someone to deliver Feng Yun Jieyu's suicide note, and now it's over, the Gu family had no choice but to do so if they wanted to.

"Your Majesty, the empress's people also said just now that this so-called suicide note was discovered after Yun Jieyu hung the beam, and the Central Palace ordered people to clean it up according to the rules." The old master Gu bravely came out, for The queen was also looking for a way out for her family, "Because it was found on Yun Jieyu's body, and it was Yun Jieyu's tone and handwriting, so I think it is Yun Jieyu's suicide note. As for the others, the queen's wife did not say anything."

The implication is that the queen just followed the rules to collect the body of the concubine who committed suicide, and found this thing by the way.

Whether it was written by Yun Qingman himself, or someone else deliberately left it there to fake it, the queen did not give any advice, and she should not bear the consequences of whether the suicide note is true or false.

Duke Yi's expression softened a little when he heard the words, but he continued to invite Chunjia to investigate the matter thoroughly and return justice to his wife.

He was very irritable, and suspected that this must be Concubine Min Gui targeting his family.

Yun Zhao consciously understands what the Han family is like.

To say that someone who sent Yun Fenghuang into the palace to be a stepping stone for his daughter for the sake of his niece's persuasion would certainly not be so gentle and soft-hearted.

But Yi Guogong also didn't believe that the Han family would make a move to murder the fourth prince.

Originally, in the eyes of someone like him who values ​​rules and concubines, even though Yun Qingman was sent to the palace as a concubine and gave birth to the fourth prince, her status is still impossible to compare with Yun Shuangyu, the eldest daughter of the concubine. .

Moreover, Duke Yi is following the line of a pure minister, and does not intend to support any prince at all.

Regardless of whether it was Yun Shuangyu's heir, King Qin, or Yun Qingman's son, the Fourth Prince, Duke Yi himself did not show much affection.

It was Mrs. Yi Guogong who went to the palace to see the two children on the day of peace.

Duke Yi has never expressed affection for any of his grandsons, and even because Mrs. Yi is partial to his own daughter, she often persuades him to work for the King of Qin, but basically never mentions the fourth prince... As the grandson of the prince, he might as well be familiar with the heir-grandson of King Qin.

Under such circumstances, what reason does the Han family have to kill the fourth prince?

He also didn't believe that Yun Qingman had harmed King Qin and Zhaoqing. If his daughter had such a means, Yun Fenghuang could still let Yun Fenghuang take away all the limelight when she entered the palace with Concubine Min Gui?

So in Duke Yi's view, all of this must be a conspiracy by Yun Fenghuang!

"Your Majesty." The two important ministers rejected the truth of the suicide note, both inside and outside the words. Of course, Xing Ningbo would not let go of this opportunity, and hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, please investigate thoroughly. , to return Yun Jieyu and Mrs. Yi Guogong’s innocence!"

This is short of directly saying that the suicide note was forged by Concubine Min Gui, but she just sent it up by the Queen's hand by means of tricks.

But based on the officials' impression of Yun Fenghuang, they felt that this noble concubine might not be incapable of doing it.

Furthermore, Old Master Gu hurriedly dismissed it, Duke Yi firmly denied it, and Uncle Xing Ning swore... Yin Qu was the only one who stood up to speak for the noble concubine, but now it seems that he is alone.

Yin Qu was quick to gain wisdom, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think these things are a bit strange! Both the Empress Dowager and the ladies in the palace are all virtuous, virtuous and generous. Otherwise, how could they be selected into the palace and serve Your Majesty? The palace change is just over. , all the situation has not yet come to light, why did you ladies who were in harmony in the past, have so many things happen? It seems that they deliberately let us have no time to investigate the change of the palace!"

Having said this, the monarchs and ministers were a little dazed.

Chunjia knew the inside story, the incompatibility among the three Empress Dowager Yuan, Empress Gu, and Concubine Min, with his shrewdness, how could he not be aware of it?

It's just that he pretends not to know that he thinks that his own existence can balance and suppress their contradictions.

This time Empress Dowager Yuan made an unexpected attack, Chunjia was both surprised and quite helpless.

Regarding Yin Qu's opinion, he was secretly relieved.

After all, if you know the inside story, you know the inside story. The emperor is not purely ruthless. At least for now, he can neither make up his mind to deal with Concubine Min, nor can he expose the Empress Dowager Yuan. But after all, he is not a troublemaker, he is willing to warn, but now can he stop the whole thing by warning the queen?

For the emperor now, the best outcome is to let it go.

Continue to pretend to be confused.

That's why Yin Qu's words fell, Chunjia immediately sullen, and turned to ask Uncle Xingning: "What you said, did it really come from the mouth of the servants of Chunlan Palace? Have you checked with the Queen Mother, is this really the case?"

Xing Ningbo quickly said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true! Although the empress dowager has not woken up to now, her dowry, Aunt Zhanliu, has personally confirmed this..."

"Your Majesty, although Zhanliu is the dowry of the empress dowager, it may not be reliable." Yin Qu interrupted him, and said to Chunjia, "This is a serious matter, and we have to check it with the empress dowager to be sure. Otherwise, we can't For the one-sided remarks of a few servants, the dignified concubine should be dealt with? What's more, the concubine is pregnant, she is the flesh and blood of His Majesty!"

He added, "And now it's not just about the imperial concubine's business!"

"Just after the palace change, the harem is full of accidents. Who knows if the accident is real, or if someone deliberately diverts attention? In this way, whether it is the two empress dowagers, the twelve princes or the imperial concubine, they are all human beings. It hurts!"

"Your Majesty is so wise and powerful." Uncle Xing Ning said coldly, "Who can interfere with outsiders in the important palace? Lord Yin's words are too underestimating Your Majesty!"

Yin Qu said calmly: "How dare I ask my uncle, with His Majesty's pure filial piety and generosity and consideration for the concubine, why does the imperial concubine have any reason to target the Empress Dowager and the Twelve Princes? Or does the uncle feel that His Majesty's benevolence is not enough?" Influence the Sixth Palace?"

The two glared at each other, Xing Ningbo said again: "On the night of the palace change, Zhu E's behavior was abnormal, it is a matter of solid evidence!"

"To be exact, there is no proof of death. As for other evidence, the so-called traces, witnesses, etc. may not be fake." Yin Qu said, "Actually, I am very curious. On the night of the palace change, everyone in the imperial capital was panicked. , but I don’t know why there are so many palace people who happened to see Zhu E’s series of actions? Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that in the dark night, unless you are very familiar with someone, you can’t tell from a distance. Identity? From this point of view, Concubine Min's master and servant are really unlucky. This Zhu E is not too famous among the concubine's attendants, but the people she met along the way were all separated by ten or twenty steps in the night. I can only see a silhouette, and can clearly and accurately identify her?"

Uncle Xing Ning said coldly: "Lord Yin, I'm afraid that Zhu E is more famous than what you think! After all, he is one of the most powerful assistants in front of the noble concubine. With the arrogance of the noble concubine, Liugong is familiar with her servant, and has What's weird?"

He cupped his hands towards Chunjia again, and said lightly, "Furthermore, this also corresponds to a sentence: the sky net is extensive and sparse but never leaks! Zhu E's master and servant only know that when the Dao Palace changes, everyone is terrified, and it is a good time for them to kill , but unexpectedly there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and his evil deeds will eventually be exposed to the public!"

"Your Majesty, I think Uncle Xingning's words are justified!" Duke Yi used to stand by and watch Yun Fenghuang being impeached and criticized, and occasionally defended him, although it was because of Yun Fenghuang, but now he is Yun Fenghuang's daughter Because of this, I don't want my family's reputation to be unlucky, but it also helped Yun Fenghuang to some extent.

These days people in the world have a strong sense of clan, even though Yi Guogong and Yun Fenghuang are aware of each other's dislike for them, but in the eyes of the people in the world, they are together.

If you don't have a good reason, you can't turn against each other.

So even though Yi Guogong didn't like Concubine Min, he didn't say anything about what Yun Fenghuang was doing at the court meeting.

But now it's different.

In the eyes of Duke Yi, the so-called suicide note of Yun Jieyu, if she were a noble concubine, she would not let go of the letter of war for her family.

He didn't care about Yun Fenghuang's enemy before, but on the one hand, he felt that Yun Fenghuang was a girl after all, and the emperor was not the kind of foolish king who was greedy for beauty and obeyed his concubine's words. His family's loyalty to Chunjia was comparable to that of a concubine? The second is that the relationship between the Duke's Mansion and Yun Fenghuang is not necessarily hostile.

Especially after Xiao Han's mother and son left.

Look, Yunfenghuang is raising the heir of Concubine Zhenxishu's heir, His Royal Highness King Qin, and he is not very close to Mrs. Yiguo, but every time they see each other, they can at least greet each other on the spot.

In this case, it is certainly not true to say that it is a family.

But definitely not the enemy.

It is very meaningful to turn hostility into friendship.

But as soon as the suicide note came out, Duke Yi couldn't help thinking that Concubine Min Gui had always held a deep grudge against his family, and she was still thinking about Layun's launching into the water and killing Han's at any time!

So does he have a choice?

The imperial concubine's wings are not yet fully fledged, but she has already attracted important ministers like Yin Qu to argue for her in public.

Wait a few more years, when King Qin and the others grow up and get married, I'm afraid Chunjia will have to weigh it up!

Duke Yi was in danger, so he said without thinking, "Your Majesty, Zhanliu is an old man who has served the empress dowager for many years, how could he lie?"

"What Yi Guogong means is that you also think that your Yun's daughter murdered the two empress dowagers and the twelve princes?" Yin Qu sneered and asked loudly.

Duke Yi glanced at him calmly: "Concubine Min Gui didn't join the Yun family until she was twelve years old. Her younger brother and wife love her in every possible way, and she has always been a bit spoiled and willful. Big women are very different."

Even so, once the imperial concubine is blamed, the reputation of Yun's daughter will definitely be affected.

But Yun Zhao doesn't care.

Compared with this little consequence, the threat of the imperial concubine is the serious worry.

Besides, as long as he is still favored by the emperor, as long as his status is still there, the girls in the clan will not worry about marriage.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Duke Yi standing with Uncle Xingning for the first time, aiming at Concubine Min Gui, at this time, another palace official came to report from outside the palace, with a serious expression on his face, "Your Majesty, Chongchang Palace People can't kneel before the Minister of Foreign Affairs, so I have something important to report to His Majesty and all the adults!"

Chunjia laughed back angrily, patted the armrest of the emperor's seat, looked around the group of officials, and said slowly: "The palace change has not yet been concluded, but my harem is very lively. Even if I don't think it's lively enough, I still have to pull on it." Ladies and gentlemen...forget it, if that's the case, let's listen together, so what's the matter?"

The officials knew that the emperor must be in a very bad mood now, so they dared not speak.

After a while, a servant in red robes was ushered into the palace, and the courtiers who knew the harem recognized him as the deputy chief of the Chongchang Palace, the old man who had been serving Gu Zhen since he first entered the palace.

Did he come to supplement the credentials of the suicide note just now?

Everyone thought this way, and saw the deputy chief executive go to the hall to salute, kowtow, and at the end he simply stated the intention of coming: to expose the queen Gu Zhen as a thief and call for a thief, and he deliberately murdered the king of Chu, so that this son who should have been enrolled in the school has been in a daze since then. There is no future, but planting the Six Palaces, provoking troubles, in order to achieve the goal of winning sympathy and pity!

"Full of nonsense!!!" Mrs. Gu, who had just watched Yi Guogong go into battle with Yin Qu, almost lost his breath!

Without waiting for anyone to speak, he quickly stepped out again, and said sharply, "As we all know! The empress has always treated the emperor's heirs as her own. Even if the second and third princes have special backgrounds and are taboo by the concubines, the empress loves them the same." If it is a treasure! How could it be unfavorable to the King of Chu! At the beginning, because of the affairs of the King of Chu, the empress and empress couldn’t afford to lie down for a while. , Empress Empress is still extremely anxious..."

He didn't even care about the empress's equal treatment of the second and third princes on such an occasion. Would it appear connotative that Chunjia neglected these two sons, and repeatedly told the empress's treatment of the emperor's heirs, especially Chu The king's love, and finally said angrily, "What qualifications do you have to slander the dignified palace!"

The deputy chief did not interrupt, and listened to his impassioned speech quietly. Fang Youyou said: "If His Royal Highness the King of Chu does not have an accident, Gu Shi'an has a reason to send a daughter into the palace to serve His Majesty. The prince of blood is the first son?"

Old Master Gu's face changed drastically in an instant!

The ministers also whispered to each other, discussing in low voices, is this true? is fake?
