Chapter 232: Another Guess

The spread of ghosts and gods in the court did not attract much attention at first.

After all, like Yunfeng Huang, one can tell at a glance that it is Concubine Jing Wanfei's counterattack.

As for the whisperer who really believed that the empress was ruthless and stepped on the three younger sisters to sit firmly in the back seat, they were probably humble and did not dare to do anything to the middle palace.

In addition, Mrs. Gu specially sent someone into the palace to warn the queen to be steady at such a time, one thing more is worse than one thing less, when you should count on Chunjia, you should count on Chunjia.

Even if the Gu family was a little cautious, he never thought of betraying the country and the emperor. As long as they are sure of this, it doesn't matter that they have been framed and framed, and they can't clear up their grievances.

Chunjia carefully selected them as descendants, and it is unlikely to find a more suitable one for the time being. He will not give up Gu Shi and Gu Zhen easily.

So even though Gu Zhen was terribly aggrieved, she still endured and remained silent, Quan Dang didn't even know that the people below all passed her down as a vicious queen who was familiar with witchcraft, and was selectively forgotten even if she couldn't give birth. The matter of corpse insects is the punishment from God for doing too many evils and practicing sorcery...

But the emperor did not immediately shelter Gu Zhen.

As Yun Fenghuang said, Chunjia's attention is now on the front court.

Compared to the fact that some of the soldiers of the Dingbei Army were trained to be dead soldiers, and the master was not Chunjia himself, these battles in the palace were nothing worth mentioning!

The dynasty will end in a hurry because of this, but only the dynasty will end.

After the idlers who were not worthy of the emperor's favor were forced to disperse, Chun Jia's loyal courtiers, together with the three courtiers in charge, gathered in the Imperial Study Room again.

After some confrontation, the monarchs and ministers confirmed that it was true that the Meng family and the Luo family were attacked by dead men last night, and that the dead men had traces of the Dingbei Army on their bodies. Public opinion pressure, self-directed and acted.

Of course, the two patriarchs refused to admit it directly, and only said that it was all because of these dead men. In the middle of the night, the whole family panicked and caused the accident.

Anyway, they didn't frame them. They were indeed attacked and suffered losses.

As for Mrs. Gu, of course he retorted desperately, saying that there is absolutely no such thing, and not all of Gu's brains, there really are such dead men, as for using them in the imperial capital?

Not to mention the Meng family, it's no secret that the Luo family's son, Luo Tieyi, has been fighting in the Dingbei army for many years... What is the difference between Gu's doing this and severing himself from the court?

"As the saying goes, true or false, false or false, maybe Gu thinks that by doing this, he can just get away?" The head of the Meng family said in a cold voice, "After all, Uncle Zhaowu has been in charge of the Dingbei Army for many years. Shi, who else can gather the soldiers, train them to become dead soldiers, and sneak into the imperial capital secretly to plot against our family?"

The implication is that the Gu family either has ulterior motives, trains the soldiers raised by the state into private dead soldiers, and arranges them to enter the imperial capital, which can be described as audacious and reckless! Or, Uncle Zhaowu was not strict with his subordinates, and his subordinates were made into dead soldiers and entered the imperial capital, so he didn't know anything? ? ?

Gu Fangshu is not the Marquis of Jingning who just went to the Northland. He has been in charge of the Dingbei Army since Xiaozong. It is said that he does not know about such a big matter... The first possibility is that he really does not know, which means this A border commander with many reputations is pure waste; the second type is even more detrimental to the Gu family. Gu Fangshu knows it, but he pretends not to know it. What does this mean?

Old Mrs. Gu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, but Chunjia didn't bother to pay attention to the lawsuit between them at all, and only discussed in a low voice with Ouyang Yanran, Yi Guogong, Yin Qu, and Deng Chengzhai, where did these dead men come from, and why did they take advantage of the night? Attacking the Meng family and the Luo family so that they were directly exposed to the imperial court?

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is too coincidental, as if I was in a hurry to let the Meng family and the Luo family deal with the Gu family." Ouyang Yanran thought for a while, and said softly, "It seems that someone wants to cause chaos in the temple."

His words were tactful, but Yi Guogong was not. He said bluntly: "Your Majesty, this matter seems to be a battle between the Meng family and the Luo family and the Gu family. In fact, the bottom line is that it is probably aimed at the harem!"

In other words, it was aimed at the queen who was born in the Gu family, and the queen's legitimate son!

Chunjia frowned slightly, the deduction of these two courtiers was similar to his guess.

If it was just a fight between the Meng family, the Luo family and the Gu family, it would actually be a good thing for the emperor.

After all, these are all famous families, the Gu family has no successors, but the Meng family and the Luo family are not.

The most fearful thing about being an emperor is that these big families will join forces. As long as the intrigue among these families is within a certain level, it will not damage the vitality of the country's dynasty... In fact, any emperor with a clear mind would like them to fight more and more. The more powerful the better.

But if you go for the back position, that won't work.

Gu Zhen is neither Ji Lingzi nor Yun Fenghuang, this kind of targeting at her is simply unbearable.

At that time, Chunjia will have to be dragged down to protect her from speaking. The key point is that the two normal sons, the tenth prince and the twelve princes, are still young.

Children at such a young age, to put it bluntly, even if no one hurts them and let them grow up on their own, they may not be able to grow up peacefully.

Coupled with the fact that the mother's qualifications are mediocre, wouldn't Chunjia have to take care of Gu Zhen and take care of these two children?

Can he come over?

So the emperor absolutely cannot tolerate such calculations.

"What's in your hearts, dear ladies?" Chunjia asked slowly after pondering for a moment.

Ouyang Yanran hesitated to speak, and Duke Yi said quickly again: "Your Majesty, if you want to say who in the palace is most likely to target the empress, it is the noble concubine!"

Chunjia frowned when she heard the words, and said: "The noble concubine comes from a humble background, how can she do this?"

"Although the imperial concubine comes from a humble background, her family lives in the north." Yi Guogong reminded, "Over the years, the country's dynasty has been relatively peaceful, but the Dingbei army stationed in the frontier has conflicts with Weihe from time to time, and there are many injuries every year. Disabled soldiers were forced to leave the army. The Xie clan won the moon first in the north near the water, gathered one or two, and after diagnosis, treatment and training, it may not be impossible to think that the dead are dead!"

He felt that he was saving face for the emperor, and he didn't even mention that Qi Jiulu, who once chased the imperial concubine to the imperial capital, is still an official in the Dingbei Army.

Everyone came here when they were teenagers, and they still don’t know the deep-rooted affection of childhood sweethearts. If the imperial concubine, no, there is no need for the imperial concubine to speak up in person. What's the problem with taking a few elite soldiers?

Therefore, the soldiers of the Dingbei Army are dead soldiers... Duke Yi thinks that he can really beat the imperial concubine.

If it was any other concubine, Chunjia would have agreed that it was time to bring her up for interrogation. But the noble concubine... not only because she is Chunjia's sincerely favorite concubine, but the key is that this concubine really has a bad temper. Earlier, there had been several fights because of the emperor's suspicion, but now Chunjia did not dare to show the slightest suspicion without solid evidence.

At this moment, she was silent for a while, and said softly: "Premature birth was very dangerous for the imperial concubine, if I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid everyone would have... Now the imperial concubine is still in confinement, but how can she have the energy to take care of other things? Let's discuss later. "

Ouyang Yanran was not surprised by this result, just as Yun Fenghuang occasionally felt desperate about whether he could defeat Empress Dowager Yuan or Queen Gu. Inverting the imperial concubine is also a difficult thing that makes them feel hopeless from time to time.

The emperor's protection of the imperial concubine was soaked in his bones day after day.

This is when Yun Fenghuang himself is not present, if he is present, if he cries a few words, maybe Chunjia will turn the blame on them and these courtiers...

But Ouyang Yanran was calm and calm, but Yi Guogong was not.

Yun Zhao said frankly: "Then please forgive me for being stupid, except for the noble concubine, I can't think of anyone else who is necessary and capable to murder the empress in this way!"

Chunjia was choked by him and was speechless for a moment, but she didn't want to blame the senior officials for it, so she pretended not to hear, and Wen Yan asked Ouyang Yanran, Yin Qu and others.

"Your Majesty, I do have an idea." Seeing this, Yin Qu sneered slightly, and put forward another opinion, "As we all know, imperial concubines are always anxious...His Royal Highness King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing are the eldest son and eldest daughter of His Majesty. , has always been favored by the emperor! The two Highnesses are still young, so they are inevitably a little high-spirited... Is it possible that someone used this to deliberately stir up discord in the palace, and even stir up the harmony and trust between the heavenly family? After all, the death of Princess Yushan before..."

The monarchs and ministers were startled when they heard the words.

Indeed, the death of Princess Yushan...was once suspected to be a debt handed down from the murder of Shenzong.

There are enemies hiding in secret, specifically targeting Shenzong's blood.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the little princess was deliberately murdered to death.

Then take advantage of this opportunity to instigate monarchs and ministers to suspect noble concubines and cause changes in the palace...it makes sense.

In particular, Yin Qu mentioned King Qin and Zhaoqing. These two heirs are both six years old and can remember things clearly. Although they are not the concubine's own flesh and blood, they have been raised by the concubine since they landed, and it is rumored that they have always been favored by the concubine. If the imperial concubine falls at this time, even if the emperor chooses another adoptive mother for them, there is no high-ranking concubine in the palace, including the empress, who can provide them with the capital to be arrogant and arrogant to be the sons and daughters of the imperial concubine.

And even if there is, all the concubines already have their own flesh and blood or children raised by themselves, how can they continue to coax them like the concubine?

At that time, whether it is because of their feelings for Yun Fenghuang or because of the gap in their own situation, it will be difficult for the two children not to feel resentful.

In this way, there must be grievances between the flesh and blood of the Tian family, and even between Chunjia and their father and son.

This grudge may be hidden and suppressed for a lifetime...

But if it was really designed by someone, it must be guided out at a critical moment in the future to create a tragedy for the Gongxiang family.

"Huh!" The monarchs and ministers were thinking about this possibility and what evidence there is in this series of things, but Yi Guogong was displeased and said with disdain, "Yin Qu, you are too eager to curry favor for the seventh prince. Xuanqing Palace! Ordinary is fine! At such a time, the emperor is having a serious discussion with you, and you don’t forget to excuse the noble concubine. Are you a trusted servant of His Majesty, or a lackey of the noble concubine?!"

Yin Qu raised his eyelids, and said hesitantly, "Why? Duke Yi is sure that there is no such possibility? Then dare to ask Duke, do you have clear evidence to prove that no one is hiding behind the scenes? , Murdering the flesh and blood of the Tian family?! Furthermore, His Majesty ordered us to discuss matters, express our opinions freely, and express our opinions. Now I am just following His Majesty's orders, and based on what happened in the past two years, I proposed a proposal. Your Majesty has not yet vetoed it. It's too shameless to make such slanderous words without agreeing with you to criticize the noble concubine, isn't it? What? After Concubine Min became favored, she turned her heart to Mrs. Xie and did not support you Mrs. Yun. But why do you use this official to vent?!"

"Could it be that you don't like the noble concubine in your heart, Duke Yi, and from now on, everyone is not allowed to say something fair for the noble concubine?"

He wasn't a magnanimous character, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Chunjia to ask for justice just because Yun Fenghuang had cleaned up his daughter, so he mentioned it bluntly at this moment, "Ling Ai Yun The suicide note left by Jieyu once said all kinds of bad things about Mrs. Zun. It can be seen that even if Concubine Min is not in favor of the Yun family, it is justifiable! After all, the Duke's own flesh and blood is full of hatred for the Duke's mansion, let alone the heir of the Duke's younger brother. Daughter? The noble concubine's father and mother have never expressed their dissatisfaction, so why is the Duke holding a grudge here?!"

Duke Yi felt loyal to the country, and was furious when he heard the words: "You——!!!"
