Chapter 230 An Accident?

Suddenly a murmur broke out in the temple.

After Ouyang Yanran and Yi Guogong took a breath of air calmly, they frequently took a peek at Chunjia on Danchi.

Chunjia sat high on the throne, and the twelve hanging beads covered his holy face, making it difficult for the ministers directly below to see his expression clearly.

Only Yan Yin, who was serving by the side, caught a glimpse of the emperor's expressionless face out of the corner of his eye.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!" Old Master Gu then prostrated himself on the ground, sweating profusely, and hissed for injustice, "How dare the Chen family have such courage? Besides, the whole family of Uncle Xingning is not a three-year-old child. Knowing the importance of the loving mother empress dowager to them, will they not remember the love the loving mother empress dowager has for them? How could it be possible that an outsider would provoke a few words and become malicious towards the loving mother empress dowager?!"

The head of the Meng family sneered and said: "But it is an indisputable fact that the Yuan family conspired to kill the empress dowager! Could it be that the Yuan family was so mad without outsiders?! Let alone the empress dowager and the empress dowager are related by blood. Let’s just say that the entire family of the Yuan family looks up to the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty for their wealth and wealth. And everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty is very filial to his mother. Yuan’s murder of his loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is tantamount to cutting himself off from the world! If one or two Yuan’s children are like this If you do it, you can still say that he is delirious and confused! So many people do this, even the direct brothers of the loving mother empress dowager... As we all know, the loving mother empress dowager is kind, kind, courageous and intelligent, and everyone in the six palaces is convinced by her , as a role model! Such an empress dowager can influence the palace, is it possible that even the closest relatives cannot be influenced?!"

"Xing Ningbo and his wife, no, it should be said that it is Yuan Qihuai and his wife, how insane are they, so that they can kill their first sister without being deceived by the outside world?!"

After hearing these words, Old Master Gu's complexion changed drastically.

Ouyang Yanran, Yi Guogong, Cui Wan, Deng Chengzhai and others also looked sideways at him.

Of course, the person who was looked at was the head of the Meng family.

To be honest, although the Meng family and others are well-known and well-established families, they have been keeping a low profile for the past twenty years or so.

The main reason is that in the last years of Sejong, the Ji family began to rise suddenly.

After that, the unstoppable power came to the court, Shenzong, Xiaozong and Chunjia's three dynasties seven years ago.

The high-ranking family is very experienced in dealing with this kind of situation. Seeing that they can't fight against the Ji family together, they may find excuses to suppress them. For example, the Ouyang family... simply hide their strengths and bide their time, and concentrate on cultivating their children instead of overpowering them. To keep their own family inheritance alive, when the time is right, for example, Chunjia has been gaining momentum for a long time, and then swarms up, using the power of the Tian family, to suppress the Ji family, and regain his own status with profit.

Originally, after they teamed up with Chunjia to solve the Ji family, they took advantage of the situation to revitalize the lintel, and decided whether to perform an infighting for Chunjia or not depending on the emperor's wisdom, so that the emperor could use their family with peace of mind. , instead of worrying about what happened to the Ji family in their family.

But the emperor's remorse for what happened next, and the series of confrontations with the regent, as well as the suppression of their noble daughter by the imperial concubine who was indulged by Chunjia in the palace... The Meng family felt that the emperor seemed like He was a bit difficult to deal with, and he didn't dare to play tricks in front of him, but he became honest all of a sudden.

They are even so honest that people forget that their family, who can experience the rise and fall of dynasties and continue to be rich, has never been a good stubble.

At this moment, the sudden attack, singing and chanting and hitting, even made the mature and prudent Mrs. Gu feel speechless!

... Actually, Mrs. Gu is not really out of words.

At least he knew very well in his heart that the collapse of the Xingningbo Mansion was definitely not because Yuan Qihuai and others murdered the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Twelve Princes.

As the head of the Meng family said, Yuan Qihuai and the others are not insane, how could they touch the empress dowager?

Even if they were planning to kill the king, they would not be able to deal with the loving mother, the empress dowager!

After all, the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is Yuan's greatest protection!

Now, no matter what wrong things they did, there will always be someone to take care of the aftermath, and with the method of the loving mother Empress Dowager, the entire Xingningbo mansion has encountered a checkpoint, and she must be asked to make the decision.

If this person is gone, it will be the biggest blow to Yuan Shi!

However, no matter whether Mrs. Gu or those who knew or guessed this, they would not dare to say this.

Because the real reason for the collapse of the Xingningbo Mansion involved the life experience of the eighth prince, which is Chunjia's shame, and the courtiers, in order to wash away their grievances, disregard the dignity of the emperor, what does Chunjia think?

Encouraging Yuan Qihuai and the others to murder the loving mother, the Empress Dowager... The Gu family really did not do this.

Chun Jia is not the kind of mediocre master who is easy to fool, on the contrary, he is so deep that many old officials dare not make mistakes.

Mrs. Gu made a quick calculation in his heart. He lost the debate, or even suffered a loss. It doesn't matter. Such a big crime cannot be settled in just a few words. The emperor knew it well, and he would not plead guilty according to Gu's head . Even because the emperor is jealous of relatives like the Ji family, now that he has lost and lost face, it may still be in line with the emperor's wishes.

It is even more dangerous to keep refuting and saying things that should not be said.

If she offends Chunjia and loses her Sacred Heart during this process, the consequences will be unimaginable...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu didn't pick on the loopholes in the words of the two Patriarchs of the Meng family and the Luo family, but kept crying and kowtowed to Dan Chi, saying that he was wronged.

Sure enough, after he did this, Chunjia was silent for a moment, and stopped the farce lukewarmly, but she stared at the two Patriarchs herself, asked them several times from the beginning to the end, carefully picking out various flaws Fallacy... It is simply that these two aristocratic families were born, and their ancestors have no lack of experience in the prelude to the palace. He also knew that Chunjia was shrewd, so if he dared to speak in front of him, of course he would not be unprepared.

At this moment, both of them were crying, looking very pitiful. They recited a set of rhetoric very fluently. Can't fault it.

so……

This must be fake!

What did the two patriarchs say when they came up?

It happened early in the morning. I didn’t find it at the beginning, but I gradually noticed the clues recently. I wanted to find out and report it. As a result, the leaks during the investigation made Gu’s silence... If this is the case, will there be such a comprehensive statement? ? If that's the case, you should ask them why the not so shrewd Dali Temple Minister can be directly convicted in front of them, why don't they report it to the emperor?

What is the intention!

"Your Majesty, I beg you to be the master of the minister! Be the master of the minister and family!" The two patriarchs also knew in their hearts that this fraud could not be hidden from the emperor and the important ministers, but they didn't care.

After all, this time it was Gu who started it first, didn't he?

Originally, Gu Zhen's successor position was snatched from them.

Over the years, the daughters of the Luo family, the Meng family, the Yin family, the Ouyang family, have always been well-behaved and sensible in the palace, even when they just entered the palace when they were young and vigorous, they only tried to test the noble concubine Yun Fenghuang, but it was nothing to Gu Zhen Faux pas!

The results of it?

Gu Zhen himself is incompetent, unable to find out the real culprit who murdered the noble concubine, and even wants to drag the daughter of the Luo family and Meng family to top the vat... Gu Zhen can frame her, why can't the two families resist?

Knowing that the emperor intends to continue the etiquette and law of the country so far, he has a direct lineage but not a direct lineage, and he avoids the lesson of the Ji family, he does not want the descendants to be too powerful and the queen is too shrewd, so when choosing and choosing, the Gu family and Gu Zhen are the most suitable . Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Chunjia will not touch Gu Shi and Gu Zhen.

But the heads of the two families felt that even if the emperor was satisfied with the descendants of the Gu family, and the not-so-intelligent queen Gu Zhen, the two families were not unknown people, and it was impossible for them to have no status in the eyes of the emperor.

That being the case, Chunjia might still clean up if he is just looking for something to do.

Now that there is a reasonable and well-founded counterattack, the emperor will not target them indiscriminately, right?

To put it bluntly, the Gu family did not have any special credit for the emperor. Even the expedition to Weihe, due to various reasons, was supposed to be a smooth battle to promote the country's prestige, but it turned into an embarrassment of falling into the quagmire.

In theory, it is not as good as the Luo family, the Meng family, the Yin family, and the Ouyang family. After all, did they contribute to Chunjia's seizure of power and the destruction of the Ji family?

The emperor has been protecting this family because he thinks that their famous family, which seems to be prosperous and powerful, but has no successors, is suitable to be a descendant.

It's not that they have any deep affection for them!

"...The dead man who attacked your family last night, how can we prove that he came from the Gu family?" Chunjia on the throne had roughly the same thoughts as the two patriarchs.

Recently, Gu Shi and Gu Zhen have caused him a lot of trouble, which made him worry a lot.

If this is the kind of imperial concubine that he really likes, he will have to feel distressed besides worrying about it.

But neither Gu Shi nor Gu Zhen is his true love, but he just thinks it is appropriate after weighing the pros and cons.

Therefore, it is very annoying.

Seeing that the heads of the two families insisted that Gu's murder and arson wanted to be silenced, and dragged out of the Xingning uncle's mansion, the loving mother and empress dowager later framed him, they didn't know that they might not really want to charge such a crime on Gu's head, It's just to complain about Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing, and express his anger at being deprived of his successor back then.

In this case……

The emperor pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Since he is a dead man and committed such a treasonous act, is there any evidence left?"

"Your Majesty, there is indeed no evidence on those dead men." The two patriarchs glanced at each other, their expressions were a little strange, but they still said, "But...they all have traces of the Dingbei Army on their bodies. I didn't know it at first. Because Luo Tieyi, the son of the Luo family, also served in the Dingbei Army, he had arranged for several disabled old soldiers to work in the mansion. It was discovered by those old soldiers! Just ask, who else in the world can drive The gentry from Dingbei Army act as dead soldiers?!"

These words shocked the monarch and his subjects, they all looked at Mrs. Gu!

The old man Gu was ready to give up struggling to win the emperor's sympathy, but he was still thinking that doing so would be regarded as putting him to death and so on... Hearing this, he was completely shocked: "This... how is this possible!! !"
