Chapter 203: Marquis of Yongchun Returns to Life

Two days later, the emperor still didn't say a word, and the officials couldn't hold back.

After all, whether it is the murder of the queen mother and the prince in the Taiye pool, or a series of incidents involving the empress, concubine Jieyu and the princes, it is not possible to pass the test in a daze.

As a courtier, you can give the emperor some time to buffer, calm down, and deal with it, but it is impossible to say that it is so tacitly vague.

It's just that before anyone came forward to remind Chunjia to give an explanation, the Marquis of Yongchun took the imperial guards and returned to the court first.

He is in charge of thoroughly investigating the life experience of the eighth prince, and this matter is not particularly big politically.

At least for the time being, except for a few who don't have eyes, the important ministers don't want to form a death feud with the Queen Mother Yuan because of such a matter before they confirm that Chunjia completely dislikes the Yuan family.

But in public opinion, it is the easiest to be widely known.

After all, it is really noticeable that the dignified prince is stolen and turned into a phoenix.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, on the day I was ordered, I took the imperial guards to Wannian County..." The newly promoted Marquis of Yongchun was young and not of sufficient stature, because he had been raised in the Prince Regent's Mansion for many years and saw no outsiders. When he appeared in front of people, he was already a The king's mansion tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Although he was a serious son of the royal family, he was somewhat timid.

This is the first time for him to receive an errand by himself. Although Chunjia specially arranged for some experienced and prudent guards to accompany him, these people can only mention a few things when they were in Wannian County. one person.

He was a little apprehensive, and said the ins and outs in a slightly trembling voice: probably he took people to Wannian County, according to what the farmer who filed the imperial petition said that day, followed the vines to investigate, and came to the conclusion that the farmer It is true that his wife has been a nurse for Concubine Yuan Xian, but there is no such thing as stealing a dragon and turning a phoenix into a phoenix.

The children of the farmers were indeed gone, but they were not buried in the graves they dug.

Because he was just a farmer and young, he was buried in a random place at that time. At the same time, there was a big family in Wannian County whose youngest daughter disappeared. The mistress of this big family flattered Concubine Yuan Xian very well, so she was often rewarded by the concubine Xian. She loves her daughter very much, so she buried many good things with her daughter, so that her daughter will not suffer when she goes underground alone and empty-handed... Anyway, this is a misunderstanding.

The eighth prince is indeed a royal son.

The monarchs and ministers listened to the conclusion calmly, except for a few stunned youths who were concentrating on finding fault, Chunjia and the important ministers were all calm, or in other words, expressionless.

Because this is a performance under the watchful eyes of the public, the dignity of the court must be considered, and Chunjia's face must be considered, so the truth is not important, what is important is how the entire court steps down with dignity.

Therefore, after Lengtouqing stood up and pointed out a few flaws, Ouyang Yanran, Yin Qu and the others quickly smoothed over the situation, and the court meeting ended in such a hasty manner.

After that, the emperor took several important officials to the imperial study, and then called the Marquis of Yongchun to explain the truth in detail, which was the highlight.

At this time, the atmosphere was not as tacitly calm as Chaohui.

The Marquis of Yongchun knelt down to plead guilty as soon as he entered the door.

This apology was not for anything else, but for the cronies of the regent who Chunjia had just dealt with. In fact, when he received the news that he was in Wannian County, he was very anxious, thinking of rushing back immediately to refuse the title and plead guilty. But the accompanying guards persuaded him, saying that the emperor was fair, just and generous. Since he punished the regent's followers, it must be that they did something wrong. And Marquis Yongchun didn't do anything at such a young age, and he is the emperor's brother, how could the emperor blame him?

Instead of hurrying back to show your distrust of the emperor, you might as well do the job assigned by the emperor with your heart.

That being said, Gong Xiangzhen is not like Gong Xiangxiao.

Regardless of how complicated the latter's feelings towards Chunjia are, at least they have a brotherhood that has been with them for more than ten years.

There is also the maintenance of the Empress Dowager.

In terms of weight in front of the emperor, it is really not comparable to Gongxiang Zhen.

He was terrified.

So at this moment, he immediately knelt down and confessed that he was wrong.

"Why do you do this so well?" Chunjia took a look, and reprimanded gently, "I dealt with those people because they tried to drive troubles in private and tried to drive us brothers apart. I don't even think about the fact that there are only a few people in the master sect now. ?Your direct brother is still in the feudal kingdom because of the rules of the ancestors. The big imperial capital is just our flesh and blood. It’s too late for me to love you, so can you still blame your own people for the mistakes of outsiders? "

Just let him get up, don't think about it.

After the emperor said this, Ouyang Yanran and other courtiers also followed suit, so that the Marquis of Yongchun stood up after all.

At this time, when asked about the trip to Wannian County, the Marquis of Yongchun felt awkward. He looked at a few of his courtiers and saw that Chunjia had no intention of letting them avoid him, so he whispered: "Your Majesty, I... I think that the Eighth Prince's Life experience...maybe...maybe there is indeed something wrong!"

After saying this, he waited for Chunjia's thunder to be furious, but in fact the emperor was very calm and said, "Let's start from the beginning."

The Marquis of Yongchun said everything. After he went to Wannian County, he did follow what the farmers said. He didn’t find any problems at first, but later he discovered it under the reminder of the accompanying guards. After investigating some flaws, it was found that there were indeed some problems with Concubine Yuan Xian's birth.

First of all, Concubine Yuan Xian probably gave birth to not a prince, but a princess!

Secondly, the princess seemed to have some reasons, and it was related to Concubine Yuan Xian's actions during her pregnancy, so she lost her breath after she landed;

Thirdly, the eighth prince who was raised in front of the queen as the heir of Concubine Yuan Xian may not be the heir of the farmer, but... the offspring of the Yuan family!

Ouyang Yanran and other important ministers were still calm when they heard about the second. When they heard that the so-called eighth prince might be Yuan's son, Qi Qi changed his expression and went to see Chunjia.

There was no expression on Chunjia's face, and she didn't know whether she had expected it early in the morning or whether she was stable, and said kindly: "I know, it's been hard work for Yongchun Marquis, you probably haven't had much rest these two days, go and settle down."

Marquis Yongchun glanced at him worriedly: "I'm not tired, I should do what I should."

He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but... for this kind of thing, to be honest, I really don't know how to comfort him.

After hesitating, he left.

After he left, several courtiers looked at each other, and the most honest Yi Guogong was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, if the eighth prince, no, if the male heir brought back by Concubine Yuan Xian to the palace is really of Yuan's blood, then Xingning Bofu Up and down, his heart can be punished! Even with the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid I have to explain a thing or two!"

Ouyang Yanran and the others didn't make a sound, but they all expressed approval.

It should indeed be approved.

If the Eighth Prince was the farmer who came to sue, it could also be explained that the little princess born to Concubine Yuan Xian died unexpectedly, because she was overwhelmed with grief and worried about being blamed, so she adopted a child in a daze. However, the person you brought back to pretend to be the heir of the emperor turned out to be Yuan's son, and the Empress Dowager Yuan also managed to give him to the queen to raise him. What does this mean?

The most thought-provoking thing is that the three sons under the queen's knees, the stupid king of Chu, and the drowning of the twelve princes, only the tenth prince is still intact.

But the ten princes are still young, and how many children are raised by the queen? The third prince, the king of Chu, the eighth prince, the tenth prince, and the twelve princes.

The third prince is the oldest because of his biological mother, but if he still has a brother alive, it is impossible for him to take the throne.

That is to say, if something goes wrong with the tenth prince, the queen may be forced to accept the eighth prince as the first son!

After all, the eldest son of the emperor, King Qin, is already six years old!

At this time, the whole army of aunts is wiped out. Is it possible that the Gu family will send their daughters to Chunjia to have children as aunts? Does Mrs. Gu have the guts to say this? ? ?

In this way, the rounding up is the Yuan family's vain attempt to suppress the Gongxiang family's country... To put it bluntly, if the emperor's feelings for the Queen Mother Yuan were not considered, they should directly discuss how to destroy the nine yuan clans!

If it gets out, the clan members will not agree to let the Yuan family go!

Chunjia's face was sullen, and she didn't speak for a while.

Seeing this, Duke Yi glanced at Ouyang Yanran, saw that he lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't noticed, and couldn't help but said again: "Your Majesty, judging from the description just now by Marquis Yongchun, Concubine Yuan Xian deliberately stayed in Wanwan at first. From Nian County, it can be seen that he has long been thinking of stealing! If so, this son of the Yuan family pretending to be the heir of the emperor, maybe it was the plan of the Xingning uncle's house early in the morning?"

Even, possibly earlier?

For example, since Chunjia ascended the throne, Yuan has been ready to pick peaches?

Seeing that Duke Yi couldn't stop looking at her, Ouyang Yan felt a little helpless, the emperor is so shrewd, how could he not think of what the courtiers can think of?

If this is an ordinary courtier, I believe Chunjia can deal with it immediately.

But this...

Don't you want to consider the loving mother empress dowager?

Now Yi Guogong keeps talking about how the Xingningbo Mansion is, but in fact... everyone present knows in their hearts that Yuan Shi wants to steal something, without the help of the Queen Mother, at least with connivance and acquiescence, can it be done?

Not too possible.

After all, Yuan Cistanniang didn't make any fuss about the three girls sent to the palace by the Yuan family.

Yuan Lianniang was out of favor by the noble concubine when Chunjia first gained power, and she didn't have much brains. Even though she had been in the palace for many years, she hadn't accumulated any wealth.

Finally - Yuan Zhiniang, who entered the palace, did not make any major mistakes, but she did not receive too much favor either.

Purely relying on the lack of favor of the two sisters, she was young and beautiful and became pregnant again. She was supported by the Empress Dowager Yuan and sat in the seat of Xianfei.

But as a virtuous concubine, she went up against the opposition of the empress and noble concubine.

Later, although the two of them didn't know what to do with her, palace power and the like, they didn't even think about it, they couldn't get involved at all.

Even if he stayed in Wannian County under the pretext of moving his fetus, how could there be so many waiters around at that time without any eyeliner? It turned out to be a successful exchange, and even used a baby boy to pretend to be the original princess... It would be too unreasonable to say that there is no help from the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and only relying on Yuan Zhiniang herself and the Xingning uncle's mansion!

Especially the imperial concubine seems to have been ignorant!

This master is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She has conflicts with her loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and even has a bad relationship with Concubine An and Concubine Yuan Xian. Concubine Yuan Xian stayed alone in Wannian County to give birth. It's a steal, but it's impossible not to arrange someone to watch.

It's not that they look down on Yuan Zhiniang and the Xingning uncle's mansion, but the imperial concubine is not an ordinary concubine. Based on her performance since entering the palace, it is said that Yuan Zhiniang and the Yuan family can hide it from Yun without the protection of the loving mother, the empress dowager. Feng Huang's eyes and ears, several courtiers, even Duke Yi, who is full of malice towards Yun Fenghuang now, don't believe it.

The Yuan family has this ability, so they wouldn't be doing more harm than good when Chunjia was still dormant.

There is only one queen mother in this family who is more intelligent.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Yuan family is really that bad. After all, they were a prominent family in a local area before, and it was normal for them to be unable to cope when they were suddenly involved in a battle at the height of the temple.

People like Yun Fenghuang's family background are worse than the Yuan family's, and after entering the palace, they are able to rise to the top like a fish, which is really eye-catching.

But imperial concubine Min is always in the minority, isn't she?

"..." Chunjia was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly, "This is a big matter, I...let me think about it."

Duke Yi, Ouyang Yanran and the others looked at each other and sighed secretly.

Obviously, the emperor's affection for Queen Mother Yuan was deep.

Even under such circumstances, he still couldn't make up his mind to sweep the empress dowager's face.

"Your Majesty, the loving mother Empress Dowager is still tired. If you hear such news, I'm afraid it will be bad for the Phoenix body?" Duke Yi looked at Ouyang Yanran again, and this time Ouyang Yanran finally spoke. He said gently, "After all The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, has always cared for His Majesty, and she is extremely strict with the Yuan family. If she knew about this, she would probably be angry, isn't it?"
