Chapter 214 Chunjia: I Think Something Is Wrong...
The confidantes around Princess Dachang were probably her dowry when she descended, and there were many palace servants from Sejong's time.
Hearing the master's words at this moment, I was a little puzzled: "But this happened so many years ago. Since I was lucky enough to escape back then, why bother to go through the muddy water again? Speaking of which, today I am only the heir of Emperor Xiaozong. , not parent-child. Xiaozong is the blood and blood of the first emperor of Shenzong, and the regent... When these two were in power, there was no news about those people?"
"How can the means of the two brothers Xiaozong and the regent compare with today's?" Princess Dongxing frowned and said, "Besides, my palace was also affected by what happened back then, after all, it was just a little neglected , and Wei's being confiscated, and other things, nothing else. But what happened to those brothers and sisters in this palace, as well as their heirs and party members, have you forgotten? If it weren't for the emperor Shenzong... Sejong Flesh and blood, how can it be passed down to the present, and there are only two brothers, King Yi and Marquis Yongchun?"
Even the throne was given to the irrelevant heir Chunjia?
Although Xiaozong is generally recognized as filial and honest, and has nothing to do with the stupid emperor's determination, but his skills are indeed unable to convince the public.
If Shizong's heirs who were exterminated by Shenzong escaped by chance and hibernated in the palace, taking revenge quietly, it is not impossible for Xiaozong to never find out.
Left and right couldn't help guessing: "Xiaozong, the first emperor, had never had any children, but judging from His Royal Highness Princess Minghui and the three sisters, Xiaozong is not without the fate of heirs... So, is it not the Ji family who did this, but something different from today's? What do you want to track down now?"
The eldest princess of Dongxing said with some dismay: "Let's not talk about whether this matter is related to Emperor Shenzong, but simply saying that the Ji family made Xiaozong childless, I don't quite believe it. Is the Ji family stupid? The Gu family all know that it is safe to have a prince with their own blood to inherit the throne. Didn't the Ji family's three generations of phoenix masters know this truth? Now that the power is in hand, if he says it's the Ji family, then it's the Ji family, and it doesn't matter what happens to us , so many clan and courtiers have acquiesced to this 'truth', and we have no relationship with the Ji family, so why should we complain for them?"
In other words, it is very possible that Sejong's grievances and grievances at that time have continued?
"Brother Shenzong's means, needless to say." The eldest princess looked around and said slowly, "When he was alive, I believed that even those people who had monstrous hatred would not dare to reveal the slightest bit. By the time of Xiaozong , Xiaozong suffered a loss, I am afraid that everyone is confused, and only think it is the Ji family! As for the Ji family, at that time, he had begun to be arrogant and domineering, and the people under his command were mixed. I guess they didn't know it themselves, and they did it here. How many sins? I thought about it, and His Majesty's doubts are also very reasonable. Now there is a problem, that is, where did they get the ability to extend their hands to such a noble person like His Royal Highness Yushan Princess? "
The servant thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, according to the maidservant, your Majesty doesn't need the truth. Since the Empress Defei said that Your Majesty has thought about the clan, let's do it according to Your Majesty's thoughts. That's it."
"As for the truth... Anyway, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is already stupid, and Princess Yushan is gone. Even if the real culprit is found, can these two get better?"
"Yes, Your Highness, this maid also feels that it doesn't matter if the truth is investigated or not. What matters is that His Majesty must nod for the next arrangement." announced.
Who knew that the tragedy of these two children was not done by Chunjia herself, and now they are calling for a thief...
Originally, even if they suspected that Chunjia had killed his niece Princess Yushan, they would not have doubted that he had murdered the King of Chu. After all, the birth mother of the King of Chu was humble and her age was high. It is said that her qualifications are also very good. It is said that he is very suitable to be the heir apparent for an emperor like Chunjia who taboos foreign relatives from intervening in politics.
However, the accusations and attacks made by the vice-manager of the Chongchang Hall on the Queen reminded everyone: Since the Queen might kill the King of Chu for the sake of a prince with Gu's blood, is it possible that the Emperor felt that he had many heirs and gave up one? Isn't it worthwhile for the so-called legitimate son to exchange for a justifiable reason to clean up the former court, the harem and even the clan?
Under the circumstances that neither the Yuan Dynasty nor the successors gave birth to any heirs, the so-called first-born princes are of course noble, regardless of who the birth mother is. The jade plate is recorded in the name of the queen, so it is naturally higher than the concubine brothers and sisters. To say that it is insignificant is true for Chunjia. Anyway, there are many concubines in the Sangong and Sixth Courtyards. For the emperor, one more heir and one less heir is nothing more than a matter of finding time to sleep with two young and beautiful concubines. .
As for the fact that the Tenth Prince and the Twelfth Prince are at the bottom of the list, and are several years younger than the Eldest Brother and Miss, there may be some changes in the future...
In the final analysis, this risk falls on the queen, the Gu family, and the emperor's heirs. As for the emperor himself, as long as he is hard-hearted and doesn't care about these children's brother-in-law fighting in the future, then it is not a loss, but a rectification of the government and the opposition. Opportunity!
Therefore, both master and servant of Princess Dachang felt that King Chu's stupidity must not be really investigated.
Whatever result the emperor wants, just give him one.
As for the truth... forget it.
It’s fine if the emperor didn’t do it, if the emperor did it, or the emperor deliberately condoned such a situation, then...
Princess Dongxing felt that her family escaped from the butcher's knife of Emperor Shenzong with great difficulty at the beginning, so it's better to be more steady, but at the end of the day, Chunjia's whole family will be chopped up and so on.
They secretly discussed how to satisfy the emperor, but before the discussion came to a conclusion, Princess Yun'an entered the palace in a mess, knelt down in front of Chunjia and cried, saying that it was the son-in-law who proposed a divorce with her. .
"Bastard!" Chunjia was already in a bad mood these days, which meant that Yun'an was Xiaozong's blood, and his step-sister was replaced by his own sister, Kunze, so he might not even be willing to see him at this time.
As a result, when Yun An said this, the emperor became angry, "Zheng Fengyu is just the heir of an eunuch, and his status is not as good as Jinzhiyuye's! I think Zheng Gu was quite diligent in his work in the past, and Zheng Fengyu is also considered talented and willing. Serving you wholeheartedly, this is the reason for the marriage! What qualifications does he have to propose a divorce?"
Let people call Zheng Fengli immediately.
"Your Majesty, that's not the case. It's because the father-in-law died for no apparent reason. The son-in-law has gone to the prison to ask for many times, but there is no result. There are even rumors that this is what His Majesty meant!" Seeing this, the Eldest Princess hurriedly He stopped, and said with snot and tears, "The son-in-law said that this is definitely not the case. He was born with His Majesty's accomplice, and he knows His Majesty's personality best. He said that His Majesty would never do this... Therefore, he plans to make peace with me and be alone. To thoroughly investigate the death of the father-in-law!"
Chunjia laughed angrily at these words, and said: "Since he has such doubts, and he is not without an official, why can't he come and report to me?! He insisted on alarming you, and made you panic... Does this mean that the royal princess is easy to be bullied if she is good-natured!"
The emperor's tone was not kind, but he understood that the eldest princess was just saying this on purpose because of her status, so as to force him to give an explanation for Zheng Gu's death!
"It doesn't matter what Zheng Fengli thinks, I just ask you, are you willing to divorce him?" The emperor held back his anger and asked kindly, "If you don't want to, just go back to accompany Jinxi, and I will do the rest. !"
Princess Yun'an saw that he had already understood what had happened, so she was a little embarrassed, hesitated, and then whispered: "Since I have entered the palace, I...I still want to see the concubine mother and concubine."
The emperor asked her to go directly to find the concubine, as for the imperial concubine, there was no need to go, because the imperial concubine was about to give birth, everyone in Xuanqing Palace was very worried now, and they might not have the energy to receive the eldest princess.
It's not that Yun An cares much about Yun Fenghuang, it's just that Chun Jia dotes on this noble concubine and deliberately wins the relationship.
Now that I got the emperor's words, I went to stay in front of Wu Taipin for a little half a day, and then I quit the palace.
Chunjia, however, became more and more angry as she thought about it, and finally couldn't help but went to the Huanhua Palace and told Yun Fenghuang: "Even if I have some cruel methods against the Ji family, isn't it the Ji family's own fault? For Yunan and the others, even if there are some things in the marriage. Selfishness, when did you ever treat me badly? It’s fine for Zheng Fengyu to doubt me, but she also came to play tricks on me?!”
"Why does your majesty have the same knowledge as the eldest princess?" Yun Fenghuang was a little surprised that a city like him would be resolved by Yun An angrily, but how about coaxing Chunjia? "You know, His Highness Yun'an used to follow the common man Ji Sheng, and it was too late to behave in a trembling manner. How could he know so much?"
After saying this, he thought of his sister-in-law Sui'an again, and changed the topic again, "I think His Royal Highness Yun'an usually goes with His Highness Sui'an, so he was too careful. In the final analysis, both His Highnesses respect His Majesty very much. Yes, isn't that good?"
Hearing the imperial concubine mentioning Princess Sui'an, Chunjia frowned, but became thoughtful: "It's been a while since Sui'an left the imperial capital..."
"Isn't it?" Yun Fenghuang knew that since he was determined to have a son-in-law, he would never give a concubine, especially a favorite concubine like himself, the opportunity to develop and grow in the previous dynasty.
The previous attempts were blocked unceremoniously, and now she didn't have any hope, and just said casually, "I saw Shen Taipin a few days ago, she is much older, and she must also miss the eldest princess. But women, it’s just that this is not good. After leaving the cabinet as an adult, it has always been extremely difficult to meet your parents again.”
Chunjia was silent for a while, then sighed, and said, "That's true. The past two years have been hard and Sui'an has come."
Looking at the calm imperial concubine, he showed some hesitation, and asked in a deliberative tone, "Say, after this year's summer is over, how about letting the son-in-law accompany Sui'an back to the imperial capital?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang paused for fluttering the fan, and then said with a smile, "If your majesty thinks it's good, then it's good."
The emperor is actually willing to let go and let Brother Twenty One come back? ? ?
Could it be that Yun An's clumsy routine in entering the palace has such benefits?
No, no, impossible!
Yun Fenghuang said in his heart that Chunjia usually treats her seemingly gentle, but it is nothing more than she is smart and intelligent, either she does not touch Chunjia's bottom line, or her tactful and cunning methods make Chunjia not easy to get angry, otherwise the emperor's heart hardens, That's really nothing to be ashamed of.
Just like this time the Empress Dowager Yuan is going to leave, everyone is talking about how the Son of Heaven loves his loving mother, the Empress Dowager...
But in fact, as long as the emperor agreed to demote Yun Fenghuang and leave the Yuan family's title, how could the loving mother Empress Dowager continue to leave?
Chunjia didn't even mention such a condition!
Now, because he accidentally mentioned Sui'an, he agreed to let Sui'an and his wife come back to the Imperial Capital...
The concubine didn't feel surprised at all, she just felt full of precautions: Is this only to allow the couple to return to the Imperial Capital but they are still not allowed to become officials, or is there some recent arrangement to use Xie Wuzheng as a cover? ? ?
It is even more cruel, the twelve princes are staying in the side hall, if there is something wrong with this one, then Guochao has lost two prostitutes, leaving only the ten princes alone.
In this case, the emperor should take action to frighten the secretly Xiaoxiao out of emotion and reason, lest the only surviving son-in-law also have a hard time.
And in the situation where Queen Mother Yuan is gone, who else is more suitable as the chicken to kill chickens and monkeys than the concubine?
Besides, Xie Wuzheng and Yun Fenghuang are cousins, in terms of intimacy, their relationship is definitely not as close as brothers with the same father and mother.
Chunjia used him to frighten the court and the harem, and it was also convenient for Yun Fenghuang to calm down afterwards... At worst, he will reward Xie Xiaoyu and others.
The problem is, when it comes to feelings, Fenghuang is of course more inclined to brothers like Xie Xiaoyu, but in terms of the overall situation, it is absolutely necessary to keep Xie without dispute.
After all, none of the other descendants of the Xie family have the ability and vision to lead the family to become a wealthy family.
"...Aren't you happy, Ah Huang?" The imperial concubine's reaction was so flat that the emperor, who was waiting for her to pounce on her courteously, felt a little depressed and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you always want them to come back to the imperial capital?" ?”
The corners of Yun Fenghuang's mouth hooked up, and he said with a smirk: "Your Majesty, of course I am happy, but it was for their own good that the son-in-law accompanied the eldest princess to leave the imperial capital, so as to avoid the confusion of the people in the imperial capital. Saying something that I don't know the severity to make the eldest princess feel uncomfortable. I just thought that although the limelight is over now, if they come back at this time, maybe someone will think of it and make irresponsible remarks?"
Chunjia is not only depressed at the moment, she is almost stuffed, what is the imperial concubine thinking?
Before, she was beating around the bush and trying to get people to come back, but now I'm letting go, it's fine if she doesn't thank me, and even in the words, she still hopes that Sui'an and his wife will continue to stay outside? ? ?
"Where are so many people remembering these ups and downs?" The emperor coughed dryly, and said, "Besides, haven't there been enough things in the capital recently? They're back, I'm afraid no one in this eye has the heart to dig up old accounts .”
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, huh? Could it be that the emperor felt that there had been too many turmoil recently, and wanted to take advantage of the Sui'an couple's return, so as to avoid everyone continuing to talk about the palace?
this……
She turned around in her mind, looked at Chunjia's expression for a while, finally smiled a little, and said softly: "Your Majesty is still considerate, although this move may not embarrass His Highness Sui'an and his son-in-law, but As imperial sisters and royal son-in-laws, it is their duty to share His Majesty's concerns!"
Chunjia looked at her quite speechlessly, it should be grace for me to call them back, but if you say that, does it mean that they are doing my best for me?
Yun Fenghuang saw that he was dissatisfied, so he changed the direction of the round fan in his hand, fanned him a few times comfortingly, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't bother with that screwer...Have you dealt with all the government affairs ahead of you? If it is dealt with, how about staying for a meal later, and asking the children to come and say hello?"
The emperor said aggrievedly: "No need, I still have work to do."
That's right, I don't care about you anymore... I always feel that the imperial concubine doesn't care so much about me after she has a child?
Even at this moment, I would rather think about those children who are not my own, let them show their faces in front of me, and not care about my emotions?
Chunjia left very unhappy, with a very melancholy back.
