Chapter 193 Great Job!

Chunjia laughed back angrily: "The Eighth Prince is not my flesh and blood? What did the Yuan family do? So, none of the empress dowagers, empresses and noble concubines involved today are innocent?!"

Underneath, Gu Zhen was also startled, but quietly heaved a sigh of relief: It can be regarded as catching up!

Because not long after getting the news, my grandfather went to the court early in the morning with the officials, and the attack from the Empress Dowager Yuan was so fast that Gu Zhen was so dizzy and powerless to fight back... She was really afraid of the people underneath I'm not strong enough, I'm not ready yet, I was cleaned up by the Queen Mother first.

At that time, such a good opportunity was wasted in vain.

"Your Majesty, please think twice, the turmoil in the palace has just passed, and before the cause and effect can be thoroughly investigated, there have been successive changes in the harem, so that the loving mother, the empress dowager, the queen empress, and the imperial concubine empress are all involved. Right and wrong!" At this moment, most of the courtiers came out, and the implication was that they hoped that the emperor could suppress the matter and discuss it after a clear investigation.

After all, when things have developed to this point, no one can understand that today's court meeting is no longer simple, but jaw-droppingly complicated!

The key is……

The palace changed just the night before yesterday!

The dignified emperor personally went up to the city wall to boost morale before repelling the rebels, and then dealt with a bunch of courtiers with thunderous means, and even caused the entire family of a powerful minister like Zheng Gu to be imprisoned. Harem wives and concubines, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dispute?

It even got to the point of doubting the blood of the emperor's heir!

The courtiers anxiously came out to stop, and if they didn't stop, let alone Chunjia was going to get mad, they all felt that the Queen Mother Yuan, the empress and the noble concubine were too ignorant!

The queen mother raised Chunjia, the queen is the main palace, and the noble concubine is spoiled not once or twice... It is understandable that these three are incompatible.

The problem is, it’s okay to be noisy at ordinary times. The emperor is willing to let it go, tear it up and down, and the left and right things are rotten in the palace, not involving the front.

After all, Chunjia was not the kind of emperor who would be swayed by his courtiers.

When is this, are you still joining in the fun?

There is simply no sense of the overall situation that a clan wife should have!

But on the one hand, he secretly rejected the three empress dowagers, queens, and noble concubines in his heart, and on the other hand, the officials began to suspect that someone was obstructing them, which caused the chaos.

Because the current empress Gu Zhen is really impulsive, and Concubine Min Yunfenghuang does not have a good reputation in terms of general knowledge. But as an elder, the loving mother, the empress dowager, everyone still trusts her. They feel that this empress dowager is definitely not the same as the empress and noble concubine.

But this time, the introduction was that the Empress Dowager's natal uncle Xing Ning came out to sue the imperial concubine.

Maybe...the Queen Mother was deceived?

The ministers had one thought after another in their minds, but no matter what, they dared not continue to keep silent and let the matter develop.

Otherwise, I don't know who will come and what kind of shocking "insider" will be revealed!

"Even my prince's blood has been suspected, so why think twice?" Chunjia sneered, and asked someone to call in the "farmer from Wannian County", "How about stealing a dragon and turning a phoenix? Let's talk about it." explain!"

The people who came were indeed dressed as peasants, they looked like a pair of brothers, they were very young, about twenty, well dressed, they bowed cautiously and clumsily, and then cautiously said: "Return to Your Majesty, Cao Min... Caomin's wife had a relationship with someone in the Wannian County Yamen. The year before last... no, at the end of the year before last, Caomin's wife gave birth to a son. Being a wet nurse...the reward is very rich..."

These two peasants grew up in the countryside and rarely seen high-ranking officials. At the moment they are stammering and confused.

In short, the monarchs and ministers listened patiently for a long time before finishing the process: According to the meaning of the two farmers, the elder brother's heirs are prosperous, and they only reached the crown this year. They already have three sons and a daughter. , never stopped the fate of offspring. It is for this reason that the original family background is not bad, but it is unavoidable that it is a little bit tight.

So after hearing from relatives that being a wet nurse for a nobleman would be well paid, the couple agreed without much thought, and immediately weaned the child who was not yet full moon, planning to go and concentrate on breastfeeding the little nobleman.

But not long after the wife left, she entrusted someone to come back and take the child away. The reason is that the nobleman has a soft heart. Hearing that her own flesh and blood are not yet full moon, she couldn't bear it very much, so she specially sent a message to let her be brought over to raise them together.

This is of course a good thing for farmers.

But who knows, not long after, the wife came back with bad news, saying that her son was gone!

Of course, the family of the farmer is very sad, but it's fine when the sadness is over. After all, at this time, it is not uncommon for children to die young.

The children of rich and noble families are carefully guarded, and there are too many to support.

What's more, ordinary farmers take carelessly?

Moreover, the nobleman is said to take pity on them for losing their youngest son, and even gave them some benefits.

Such a peasant family, although a bit puzzled that the child does not look weak, and was brought to the nobleman by the mother, even if the milk-water must be tight to the little nobleman first, but staying at the nobleman's house is better than staying at home. It's good to drink some rice cereal, how can it be gone?

But think about those children of rich and noble families who died... maybe this is fate.

Because of the current rules, it is impossible for such a child who died before full term to have a big funeral and cannot enter the ancestral grave. The wife of the farmer said that she had asked the servants of the noble man to find a secluded place to bury it, and the family did not return it. thing.

Some days later, the farmer's wife returned home with a generous reward.

The family was naturally very happy when they saw this, but within a few days of joy, the wife accidentally slipped and fell into the water when she was washing clothes by the river in the evening, and she just disappeared!

Of course, they didn't have any suspicions about the matter here. The main thing is that this kind of thing is also common in the countryside.

They think it may be life.

Farmers and their wives married and had several children. Of course, the relationship was deep, so after the wife left, they never remarried and raised the remaining children alone.

"But in the past two years, the children of the grass people have disappeared one after another!"

"Even Caomin himself, if he hadn't missed the children's youth and stayed in the village and seldom went out, I'm afraid..."

This farmer claimed that since his wife left, his family has always been in various dangers. The house alone caught fire three or four times for no reason. One time it was in the middle of the night. They woke up, basically the whole family was cold.

There are also similar dangers, such as being stuffed into the house with snakes and insects that no one knows but are colorful and venomous at a glance.

And his children are just a little wrong, and they will suffer bad luck.

Up to now, all the children under his knees are no longer alive.

So of course the village would be suspicious, so they suspected that the farmer's family had committed a crime and was doomed to have no heirs.

But the farmer's family thought hard and couldn't think of anything wrong. Finally, they thought of the child who had been buried hastily, and wondered if the baby died early and the funeral was sloppy, so they were full of anger to cause trouble?

So they went to the relative's house in the county government office, asked where the child was buried, and planned to dig it up, so as to comfort them, and then carefully choose a geomantic treasure to place it.

Who knew that when I got there, I dug it up and took a look...it turned out to be empty!

"Not only is it empty, but also, that small coffin is not suitable for a family like Cao Min!" The two farmers said each other, "I have never seen that wood before! Listen! People say that the Tao is the golden nanmu that noble people can only use! It can be seen that there are traces of golden light embedded in it... There are also many funerary objects, such as silk, satin, jewelry, etc. The most strange thing is..."

The faces of the two brothers were tangled for a while, and their voices were slightly lowered, "Those buried objects, look... look, they are all for girls!"

Whether it's the color and pattern of the clothing or the style of gold, silver and jade, especially a set of spinning wheels made of red gold, it directly confirms that the owner of the tomb is supposed to be a girl!

After all, no one used that for their son's burial.

Discovering this and not finding the body of their son, the family of course would not let it go, so they went to the Yamen to report the case, asking the government to help find the body of their child, and at the same time, report the situation in the tomb according to the facts. Their thinking is that although they don't know why those many valuable objects appeared in the tomb of their own sons, the person who took them out must not be someone they can offend.

So, they'd better be honest and don't take advantage of anything.

Not only can't take advantage of it, but also prevent others from taking advantage of it and planting them.

So suing the police is the best solution.

Then Wannian county magistrate made an investigation and concluded that the one who hired the peasants' wives as nurses was Concubine Yuan Xian!

And many of those buried objects were found on Yuan Shi's head!

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is not difficult to come up with a sensational inference.

Being able to be a county magistrate in Gyeonggi is of course not an idle person. The county magistrate knew that this was a serious matter, so he suppressed it and did not spread it. Maybe he was planning to find a suitable opportunity to sue Chunjia in private. However, these two farmers received a tip-off this morning, saying that the county magistrate might silence them for the sake of the royal reputation, so that if they didn't want to kill their whole family, they would come to the imperial capital in a hurry, go to the gate of the palace to cry out their grievances and report their grievances!

Dao is the only savior for them today who is wise and powerful and loves the people like a son!

If it were anyone else, they would completely rot this matter for the sake of the Tian family's face, without anyone knowing about it!

The two brothers came here in a panic when they heard that their hair stood on end...

"Is that so?" On the throne, Chunjia was expressionless and said indifferently, "So, the Eighth Prince is not my flesh and blood, Concubine Yuan Xian only gave birth to a princess...?"

The two brothers trembled and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Min doesn't know, Cao Min... Cao Min just doesn't want to die! Please help Your Majesty! Please help Your Majesty!"

Just looking at the current situation, these two farmers really don't know anything, and they belong to the kind of being used.

He was frightened, and really thought that his only chance of survival was to immediately run to the gate of the Imperial Palace and yell at the saint.

Chunjia didn't know whether to believe it or not, but she didn't make things difficult for them, she asked a few details, and didn't care about their incoherent speech, so she waved her hand and told the Imperial City Secretary to keep him there and "place him well" first.

Then he glanced at the officials coldly.

Gu Zhen was at the bottom, his eyes were lowered, his heart was pounding.

"Did these two people be arranged by me...?" She was confused and panicked, "Are the people in this palace... so powerful? They even have such complete preparations for burial! But how is this possible?" ...Then what's going on? Could it be that Gu Shao, she... No, no, Gu Shao has no such ability!"

She, a queen, is not capable of arranging such comprehensive arrangements in such a short period of time, let alone Gu Shao.

Gu Shao's order might be difficult even to pass out to the palace.

But if it's not Gu Shao, who is it?

It can't be that the Yuan family really did something to confuse the bloodlines, and it happened to catch up with this farmer brother to expose it?

Gu Zhen vaguely felt that something was wrong, and had to doubt Gu Shao, who had never doubted before: "Could it be... the idea of ​​using the Eighth Prince to attack the empress dowager was not Gu Shao's own idea, but someone asked her to bring a message to the empress dowager." Bengong? Then...then Bengong ordered the subordinates to do it before, so could it be that he wants to support this person?"

As for who might do this, it is nothing more than Queen Mother Yuan or Concubine Min.

No matter who it is, they are all enemies to Gu Zhen!

Does the enemy have any good intentions in doing this?

For a moment, she felt sweat on her forehead, and she quickly thought about what she might have done?

... At the same time, in the harem and Huanhua Hall, Yun Fenghuang was also surprised: "The things buried with her belonged to girls, and they were traced to Mrs. Yuan? Who did this, and thought of going with me?" gone?"

Chen Jing whispered: "But I don't know. Although His Majesty looks at it now calmly, but with that expression... the slave girl glanced at the corner, and felt trembling! No one dares to say anything at this moment, just listen to His Majesty. Asked."

"These many things erupted together, who would not have erupted?" Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Our Majesty is considered to have a good temper. If Emperor Xiaozong, I am afraid that he would be furious by now!"

The late Emperor Xiaozong is said to be an extremely pure and filial son of heaven. He was very gentle and refined when he was young, exactly the same as Chunjia when he was not in charge.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the Ji family chose Chunjia among the many remote vassal princes.

With the example of Xiaozong, I think Chunjia should be able to handle it well.

But Chunjia's gentleness is only superficial, but deep inside.

Xiaozong was just the opposite. He had a temperament that was so refined that it was almost soft. This kind of temperament was forced to rage at every turn... It can be seen how aggressive the Ji family was at that time.

So much so that there were rumors two years before the palace ban that the reason why Xiaozong didn't live for too long, and died before he even gave birth to a son, was because the emperor was angry too much and too hard by Ji, which hurt his body. Only then can we live forever.

Yun Fenghuang withdrew his untimely distraction, and said slowly: "This is a big matter, related to the royal blood... I am afraid that the clan members will also stand up. I originally planned to go there in person to relieve the empress. Now It seems that it is better not to show your face."

She pinched her forehead in distress. To be honest, the start of the war this time was too sudden.

Not at all ready.

No, it should be said, completely unprepared.

In her estimation, no matter what, it should be when she is about to give birth or is giving birth, similar attacks, calculations and traps will come like a flood.

Because that was when she was weakest and most helpless.

Otherwise, why did Yun Fenghuang think in such a hurry how to dig a hole for Empress Dowager Yuan and Queen Gu Zhen, so as to catch them before giving birth?

It can only be said that she really miscalculated this time.

Misjudged the enemy's mind, so that he fell into a passive position.

Maybe even miscalculated the enemy?

"The Queen only thought of using the blood of the Eighth Prince to make a fuss after Gu Shao reminded her. The arrangement of Wannian County this time is definitely not something she can do. There is not enough time, and her wrist ability is not enough." Yun Fenghuang pondered, "It's not my palace... Could it be that there are other people who also think that Concubine Yuan Xian didn't give birth to the eighth prince in the palace, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of it?"

She was stunned, and a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth: the mantis, the cicada, and the oriole are behind, Queen Mother Qu, well done! ! !
