Chapter 271 After Zheng, Who Is Next?

At the court meeting the next day, Chun Jia announced without warning a series of ironclad evidence that Zheng Ju had colluded with the officials in the court!

Quite a few of them have submitted more than one letter during these days, asking the emperor to thoroughly investigate Zheng Gu's death and return justice to the veteran.

Naturally, there was an uproar in the temple right now.

Amid all this confusion, the emperor ordered Sun Yu to publicly report the results of a thorough investigation on Zheng Gu's death.

The culprits were chosen from among the most powerful courtiers who jumped recently. It is said that these people jumped over the wall to kill Zheng Gu because Zheng Gu had the evidence of their corruption and perverting the law. Reasonable and convincing evidence, ordinary courtiers listened to a lot of discussion, surprise, surprise, disdain, etc., but several important courtiers looked downcast and lost in thought.

Chunjia looked around and took note of everyone's reactions, and then continued to talk about the treatment of Zheng: In view of Zheng Ju's merits and demerits during his lifetime, after careful analysis, his demerits outweigh his merits.

After all, Zheng Gu is an eunuch, able to control the imperial army, and he is also a great general of hussars, which is already a special favor of the royal family.

But he doesn't want to be loyal to the king, instead he is helping the courtiers, what is his intention?

But seeing that this person is dead, and most importantly, for the sake of Princess Yun'an's father-in-law, the emperor is willing to show mercy to him and his family one last time, and does not intend to deal with it severely.

So he decided to deprive Zheng's family of rewarding officials and deport him to his original place.

The most important thing is that, except for the lineage of Zheng Fengli, the Shangzhu, the three generations are not allowed to be officials!

All the ministers were shocked when they heard this.

Three generations can't join the official... Even if Zheng Fengli's lineage is not in it, not to mention that the rest of the Zheng family will be sent back to their original places. Zheng Fengli has only two daughters under his knees, and Princess Yushan died young, so it can be said that he has no support.

The wealth of Zheng Ju's lineage is basically cut off...

Even with the support of Princess Yun'an, it is unlikely that Zheng Gu will be restored to the glory he had when he was the great general of hussars.

The officials subconsciously looked at Cui Wan.

After all, when the emperor first came to the throne, the Ji family who wielded freely and held great power, the regent king, and Zheng Gu... are all gone now.

Only Cui Wan was not assigned.

Cui Wan had no expression on her face, as if she didn't notice everyone's thoughts at all.

but……

Those who are familiar with him can find that his arm hidden in the sleeve is trembling slightly, obviously his heart is not as calm as it looks on the surface.

In fact, no one can calm down in this situation.

After the court was over, Cui Wan returned to the mansion, after much thought, he finally ordered someone to invite his wife to come, and asked her to ask Mrs. Xie to send a message to Xie Xiaoyu to advance the wedding date.

His wife disapproved very much: "How can a woman take the initiative to say such a thing? No one makes people look down upon it."

"If it's later, maybe our family will be gone. At that time, what is this kind of thing?" Cui Wan sighed, "The emperor attacked the Zheng family today, and the big Zheng family is only Zheng Fengyan because of Princess Yun'an. Because of His Highness, he was spared, and everyone else will be sent back to their hometowns and not allowed to be officials for three generations! Do you want our family to fall into a similar situation? Don’t forget, there is no one in our family! Even if Lian Ye is in the palace, but How did His Majesty remember her? What can he do? Fortunately, although he was reluctant at the beginning, he finally accepted Xie Xiaoyu. He is the brother of the noble concubine, and his dignity in front of the noble concubine is even higher than that of His Royal Highness Sui'an's son-in-law!"

"It's just that our family's children don't live in the house for a day. After all, it's not a serious wife of the Xie family. How can I get so much glory from the imperial concubine?"

"The wedding has not yet been held, and something happened to our family... Do you think the imperial concubine will agree to continue the wedding? She must have asked Xie Xiaoyu to abandon us, and find a second wife from a famous family for his brother. !"

His wife is also the daughter of an official family, so of course she understands what it means for a family not to be allowed to be an official for three generations, she couldn't help but change her face, and she no longer dared to complain that Cui Wan's request was unreasonable, so she said: "So, tomorrow I will call you sick." , just tell Mrs. Xie that she needs her daughter to come out of the cabinet immediately to celebrate."

Although this kind of talk is spread, experienced people will know it is a lie, but it is a cover anyway.

It would be more decent than asking Xie Xiaoyu to marry her daughter directly.

In fact, Xie Xiyu was already hesitating at this time, so he specially entrusted someone to send a message into the palace: "The Eighteenth Prince said, I heard that His Majesty intends to liquidate the important ministers who helped the Ji clan back then, and Lord Cui is also among them. Eighteenth Prince's It means that although he has a teacher-student friendship with Master Cui and is about to become a son-in-law, after all, the empress is the most important thing. If this marriage is not appropriate, as long as the empress says something, he will immediately find an excuse to delay .”

Yun Fenghuang asked about the ins and outs, but she was a bit uncertain. Whether she had arranged for Xie Xiaoyu to be Cui Wan's disciple, or agreed that Xie Xiyu would marry Cui Wan's concubine daughter as his successor, in the final analysis, it was because of Cui's family status and Cui Wan's Years of experience in the ups and downs of the officialdom can bring benefits to Xie Xiaoyu and the Xie family.

But there is no idea of ​​letting Xie Xiaoyu act affectionately at the critical moment.

Seeing that this brother is clear now, I am very relieved: "I am not too clear about this matter. How about this, let him hold back for now, and tell him when I find an excuse tomorrow and invite His Majesty to come over to test the word .”

Didn't wait until the next day, Chunjia also came over in the evening of that day.

After he came, he didn't say a word, Yun Fenghuang ordered someone to bring fifteen princes in: "Your Majesty, take a look, Fifteen's eyebrows and eyes have grown a little more today, and they all say that Fifteen looks more like His Majesty." Well, I feel that his eyebrows and eyes are more like my own!"

Chunjia actually didn't really want to see the fifteenth prince.

He doesn't have much special affection for children, even his own flesh and blood.

This kind is still held in the hand, can't talk and walk, even if it is cute, it has no interest.

At least until three or five years old, able to run, walk, talk, and greet, the emperor will find it interesting.

Even if the fifteenth prince was born to the noble concubine... Chunjia looked at it for a while, and felt that it was no different from the day of the full moon.

But he didn't want to spoil Yun Fenghuang's interest, so he pretended to study and nodded with a smile: "The children are growing up fast now, and little Shiwu has grown a little... As for who..."

He really can't see it now, anyway, no matter who the child looks like, he won't be ugly.

At this moment, he said, "I see that the child looks like Ah Huang and also like me, and he is only picking on the strengths of the two of us."

Yun Fenghuang suddenly became unhappy: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with my body? What's wrong with my body?"

Chunjia deliberately teased her, smiled and stretched out her hand to hold her cheek, and said, "Let's see."

During this period of time, due to busy government affairs and frequent accidents, the number of times the emperor came to the harem was greatly reduced, not to mention that he came occasionally, just to visit the heirs of the concubine, and he never had any luck.

Right now, he was just playing with his beloved concubine, but when his fingertips touched Yun Fenghuang's tender skin, his heart couldn't help moving, his eyes darkened a little, and he smiled and said: "I see that Ah Huang is indeed impeccable and beautiful!"

After saying this, he had no interest in the fifteenth prince at first, but now he felt that the prince was an eyesore, and without waiting for Yun Fenghuang's order, he tilted his head, ordered the wet nurse to take the baby out, and sent the palace people away, followed by a group of Hugging Yun Fenghuang to her knees, she said with a smile that was not a smile, "It's already confinement, I finally have some free time, and you are still thinking about showing off fifteen, and you don't think about me at all!"

Without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to open his mouth, he lowered his head and kissed.

... After some cloud-after the rain, it was already time to light the lamps. The two asked the palace servants to take a bath and change clothes, and went to the flower hall for dinner refreshed. Yes, but Yun Fenghuang was thinking about Cui Wan's matter, how could he let him go?

He grumbled: "Your Majesty just said that you finally have some time to come here. Are you going to leave now? Then I blame the concubine for thinking about fifteen. After all, before fifteen grows up and becomes a vassal, she must always be in front of the concubine. But Your Majesty, I don’t know how many days it will take to see you again?”

These words are actually very unconscionable, after all, the emperor has always been the most diligent when he comes to Xuanqing Palace.

However, the emperor followed suit, so he secretly sipped his son's jealousy. The imperial concubine personally kept her, so he was happy, and he couldn't care about those government affairs for a while, so he couldn't help but summon Deng Chengzhai and others tomorrow. Just help with it.

Anyway, the really urgent one came to him early in the morning with a note that didn't ask whether it was day or night and asked him to answer it on the spot.

So he pretended to be embarrassed and put on airs for a while, and it was logical to stay.

It was rare for Yun Fenghuang to be affectionate with him, and at the end he used Deng Chengzhai's marriage as an introduction, and asked, "Did Your Majesty ask Deng Chengzhai? His marriage must have been finalized, right?"

Chunjia secretly cried out, but he forgot about it, but what he said directly would inevitably be complained by the imperial concubine, so he said vaguely: "I have already said it, but it is a coincidence that he has promised someone else's house, although I don’t know about it outside, but after all some news was exchanged, it will take some time to deal with it.”

"But His Majesty is bothering you." Yun Fenghuang was not in a hurry about this matter, mainly because Xie Meng was not yet old enough to leave the cabinet, and since the emperor had let go before, let alone Deng Chengzhai just exchanged news with him, Even if it's a firm engagement, she still has a way to force Chunjia to help win the love.

Now lying in the emperor's arms, coaxing him tenderly for a while, he casually asked, "I heard that the death of the former Hussar general has been investigated?"

Chunjia was shrewd, after hearing this and thinking about it for a while, she understood her intentions, couldn't help sighing, and pretended to be angry and said: "I still think that Ah Huang is the one who specially keeps me here today, I really don't want to part with me, what is the co-authorship?" How about helping your brother?"

"How can Eighteenth Brother compare with His Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang coaxed him sweetly, "Aren't you afraid that he will be dull and cause trouble for Your Majesty? At that time, it will not be the concubine who will feel distressed?"

The emperor snorted: "That's all you said. You're not afraid that Xie Xiaoyu will marry Cui's daughter. In the future, the Cui family will be dragged down by something wrong. How can you be so kind to me today?"

"Your Majesty said this, when did my concubine treat you badly?" Yun Fenghuang said sincerely, "Since entering the palace, when has my concubine not been around you? It's my brothers and nephews, my concubine has never Just keep an eye on them and don't mess around, so as not to cause trouble for His Majesty!"

If Bengong didn't spend any thought, would he be able to have the emperor's favorite and status today?

I'm afraid that the bastard emperor is not stupid. He really thought that this palace fell into his eyes just after entering the palace, and was praised all the way up by him?

She can have today, mainly relying on herself, okay!

The emperor didn't know the imperial concubine's slander, seeing her say that, he felt amused, and continued to tease: "Ah Huang also said a few days ago that he would take Shiwu away from me, so what do you say?"
