Chapter 250: The Twelve Princes
Yun Fenghuang felt that there were still some people talking about Zheng Ju at this moment, something was wrong, and Chun Jia naturally would not ignore this doubt.
He promised to come down and investigate thoroughly at the court meeting... In fact, this promise was made before, but because of one incident after another, Zheng Ju was sent to prison before his death, not to mention that everyone is gone, except for his son-in-law Zheng Fengli among his descendants. There is really nothing worth paying attention to besides, so I dragged it down in a daze.
In short, the emperor was perfunctory, and turned around and ordered the Imperial City Secretary to thoroughly investigate those courtiers who proposed to investigate the truth of Zheng Ju's death.
So I got a bunch of evidence of corruption and bribery.
The Son of Heaven was naturally very angry, but he was not angry about these courtiers being corrupt and accepting bribes. There is no such thing as an emotional ups and downs, unless this kind of corruption and bribery has caused extremely serious consequences. What really angered him was that Zheng Ju, as a powerful eunuch, climbed up the court step by step, and finally achieved the position of commander of the imperial army and general of the hussars... Yes, Zheng Ju was in charge of the imperial army, not the courtiers.
So here comes the question, how did Zheng Ju get the handle on these people?
Obviously, this eunuch who had an ambiguous attitude but finally chose Chunjia was never honest.
If it weren't for Zheng Fengfen's deep love for Zheng Ju's father and son, and insisting on finding out the truth about Zheng Ju's death, so that the traces were missed, Chunjia might not be aware of the complicated things recently!
Now it's not the time when the emperor just came into power, and there are many scruples to worry about.
So Chunjia immediately summoned Yi Guogong and other courtiers, and after a brief discussion, he sent someone to pass on Zheng Fengyu!
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Princess Yun'an has come into the palace." In the harem, Chi E hurried through the courtyard before entering the door, and before he walked around the screen, he reported to himself, "Your Highness is in a hurry, and said that he wants to see Your Majesty. "
"Is it Zheng Gu's business?" Yun Fenghuang said, "I just thought of her just now... What's the matter? Could it be that the person who murdered Zheng Gu has been found out, but it's just that he is too rich to move? If so In this way, it is useless for her to ask Ben Gong. Ben Gong is just a harem woman, how can she interfere with the affairs of the temple? It is better for her to ask His Majesty herself. After all, she is Xiaozong's flesh and blood, and His Majesty can still treat her badly. ?”
If the identity of Xiaozong's flesh and blood is not easy to use, then... Yun Fenghuang feels that it is probably useless to go out on his own.
The most important thing is that Princess Yun'an's husband's family has collapsed, and this golden branch and jade leaf may not be able to help Yun Fenghuang in the future.
That being the case, why did she work so hard for the eldest princess?
She looks a lot like someone who likes to do good without expecting anything in return?
"No, ma'am." Chie went in to salute, because of the hot weather, her forehead was covered with sweat, and she wiped off before speaking, "Just now His Majesty summoned his son-in-law for an audience, and then I don't know what he said in the Palace of Absolute Beginning , now send the son-in-law to prison!"
Yun Fenghuang was quite surprised, although it was said that there were still people speaking for Zheng Gu, which showed that his hands and feet were not so clean, but the rest of the Zheng family were fine, Zheng Fengyu was the emperor's brother-in-law after all.
For Yun An's sake, the emperor would not easily send Zheng Feng to prison.
Could it be that Zheng Ju had an affair with those courtiers who were still speaking for him that the emperor could not accept?
What was it that made the emperor so angry?
After thinking for a while, Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty has always been wise and powerful, and never said that he would attack people around him for no reason. Let alone a son-in-law? Since he did this, there must be a reason. Maybe the son-in-law has a heart for his adoptive father and was reckless for a while. I offended His Majesty... But for His Highness's sake, I don't think you will be punished severely. You go to comfort Your Highness, and say that I am still in confinement, and I dare not meet her. Collision. After all, Princess Jinxi is still young, so she has to be more particular... As for the son-in-law, if I have the opportunity, I will help to ease my cheeks."
Then he said to Qing Ren, "Cook some dishes in the small kitchen, and watch the meals be delivered to the previous court. I said that I heard that His Majesty has been busy with government affairs for the past two days and has worked very hard, so I feel worried."
Chi E went there once, and not long after, she came again to report: "Your Majesty, Your Highness refuses to leave, saying that she is desperate now and can only come to beg you."
"Why do these two think that this palace is their only hope?" Yun Fenghuang was very puzzled, "Sun Yu's foreign minister is fine, His Highness said so, this palace can't afford it! Now, your majesty, this brother, also watched her grow up, which of these two doesn't love her sincerely? As for insisting on pestering me?"
This is the truth, even though the imperial concubine knew it, the words of Concubine Min Gui carried great weight in front of the emperor.
But Yun Fenghuang's family knew about their affairs.
Chunjia obeyed her words, basically in the palace, or in other words, on matters that the emperor felt were irrelevant to the overall situation.
If the emperor thinks that it is related to the overall situation, the emperor's attitude is very good and gentle, but also very firm... He firmly ignores it and only follows his own ideas.
Let alone a matter between the DPRK and China?
Yun An has become the mother of two children, and she went out of the palace, can't she even see such a fact?
Yun Fenghuang sighed, although she felt that Yun An was useless to her now, but after all, she was Xiaozong's flesh and blood, and there was no need to offend her, so she told Chi E, "If Her Royal Highness Princess Yun An dares not ask His Majesty, you should go to Taizong. The empress dowager’s place is good. Not to mention that my palace is not yet out of the moon, your majesty can’t come here, and I can’t see the holy face at all, so even if I want to help her, it’s powerless! But the empress dowager is not the same, the empress dowager Feeling sorry for my granddaughter, is it natural to call her over to give some advice? Your Majesty has always been pure and filial, and he will not give the Empress Dowager this face."
After all, the Ji family and Yuan family died one after another, and the two empress dowagers also returned home.
At this time, Chunjia still needs the archway of the Empress Dowager to prove his filial piety.
The most important thing is that the remnants of the Ji family have not yet been cleared up, and there have been a series of big disturbances before, who knows if the name of the Empress Dowager will be used in the future?
In addition, the Empress Dowager is not the kind of fool who can't figure it out, even if she feels sorry for her granddaughter, the method she adopts must be within Chunjia's tolerance.
After Chi E passed by this time, she came back and whispered to Yun Fenghuang: "I don't know if His Royal Highness and the son-in-law are too worried about Zheng Gu's death recently or what, seeing His Highness haggard a lot... the whole person is nervous." Some lost her mind and lost her mind. After the servant girl conveyed the words of the empress, she was dazed for a long time before she left in a daze. It's pitiful and terrible to look at like that."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Zheng Gu is His Highness's father-in-law, not the late emperor, even if he was kind to His Highness before he was alive, that's what he should be... Your Highness is a golden branch and jade leaf, it's only been a few days since he fell, and as for Zheng Gu, he has a deep affection for Zheng Gu." This kind of situation? You are still thinking about Princess Yushan."
But thinking about the death of Princess Yushan for some time, it was supposed to be Yun An's saddest period after that, and it was never heard that she was so sad?
Shaking her head, she wasn't very interested in Yun'an's troubles, and the key point was that she couldn't spare her hand.
The next thing she has to do is to make a fuss about Concubine Shu's death.
After all, if she wants to succeed, she can't do without helpers.
Since coming to find a helper, the right path is of course benefit, friendship, and kindness... But for these, Yun Fenghuang either doesn't have enough bargaining chips, or doesn't have a suitable opportunity. In short, after thinking about it, she thinks it is more appropriate to use fear to open the way. .
Fortunately, the Empress was established according to Chunjia's idea. Although she is not very kind, she is also weak enough.
Next, let everyone think carefully: If you block the Queen's way, it may not be a good thing; but if you block her Yun Feng Huang's way, it will definitely end badly!
What would this person in front of the harem think?
After making some arrangements, Yun Fenghuang remembered something again, called Chen Jing to come to him and asked, "How is the Twelfth Prince?"
"Returning to your empress, after the bad news came out from the twelve princes, Your Majesty and the empress guarded the empress for a day and a night, and finally the twelve princes turned from danger to safety." Chen Jing said, "I haven't heard anything bad in the past two days. According to the news, I heard that the slaves and imperial physicians who came in and out of the side halls of the Taichu Palace have also returned to normal, so there is probably nothing wrong."
Seeing Yun Fenghuang pondering, he seemed to be very worried, he asked tentatively, "Your Majesty is worried that the Twelfth Prince is young, and the situation will repeat itself?"
There is a tacit understanding between the master and the servant, it seems that they are worried about the twelve princes, but in fact they are afraid that the situation of the twelve princes will not be repeated.
"If the twelve princes are raised in front of the queen, judging from the situation in which the queen raised the princes before, I don't know what will happen." Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "Now that he is raised in front of your majesty, the holy emperor is close to grace. What's the matter?"
She actually didn't care that the Twelve Princes survived... What she was worried about was that the so-called repeated situations of the Twelve Princes were just a cover.
And it was Chunjia's pretense...
The purpose is to keep the child in Taichu Palace to raise him.
Because Gu Zhen, the queen, is really unreliable.
Two of the three prostitutes went wrong in her hands. Well, strictly speaking, the twelve princes did not happen in the hands of Gu Zhen, but... Chunjia was really worried about the queen's ability.
King Qin and Zhaoqing are both six years old now, if something happens to the son-in-law again, and if there is another son-in-law... Yu Guochao's future will not be good.
After all, the concubine son is much younger than the concubine son, and Shenzong is a clear example.
Perhaps out of concern that the tenth prince would follow the empress, Chunjia would also suffer from the likeness of the king of Chu, so he simply found an excuse to keep a legitimate son in his palace.
In this way, it is fine if the tenth prince can become a talent, if not, at least there will be another twelve princes.
At the same time, this move also means that the concubine princes will not have any chance...
For other princes and their mothers and concubines, this may just be sad.
But for Yun Fenghuang, it was too desperate.
She thought quickly for a moment, then said slowly, "Try it...forget it."
I wanted to do something at first, but considering that Uncle Zhaowu was being recalled to the court, the queen, and the Gu family, I am afraid that I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him right now. is on.
Or take it slow...
Anyway, even if the twelfth prince was fake, the situation worsened and he almost survived, so a child who was so young would have to take care of him for a while after drowning.
Yun Fenghuang felt that it would be better to wait until he was out of confinement, and then think about it carefully.
She is intensively planning a series of things here, while Concubine Jing is left in a state of fidgeting, wanting to die and live every minute... Hearing that Concubine Shu sent someone over today, she was shocked!
