396 Marriage
After Emperor Yongzhen finished speaking, he saw that Feng Qizhou did not respond, looked at him and said, "Feng Qing can understand what I mean?"
Feng Qizhou lowered his head and said respectfully: "Weichen understands. ”
Emperor Yongzhen nodded, he knew that Feng Qizhou could understand the meaning of his words, and he knew that Feng Qizhou would not disobey his wishes, and after seeing that Feng Qizhou should accept this matter, he did not talk to him about King Xiang again, but talked about other things in the court.
After waiting for a while, Feng Qizhou got up and saluted and left, and after Feng Qizhou left, Emperor Yongzhen stood alone in the pavilion, bowed his head and played with the tea cup in his hand for a while, then got up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, looking at the scenery in the imperial garden in front of him.
On the edge of the pavilion, a cluster of spring fell, and the emerald green branches and leaves spread down around the corner of the pavilion, and the slender vines wrapped around the pillars of the pavilion, and the branches and leaves were accompanied by the yellow flowers blooming on it.
After Emperor Yongzhen stretched out his hand and pinched off one of the flower leaves, he looked at the tender yellow petals and said lightly: "How is the matter between King Xiang and the Wen family?"
Chen An, who had been guarding the side and never made a sound, hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The slave has ordered the secret guard to check, there is no special contact between the Xiangwang Mansion and the Wen family, some time ago there was a rumor in Beijing that King Xiang and the Zheng Guogong Mansion have a good relationship, and the Xiang King did redeem an IOU of 40,000 taels of silver for the Wen family's son, but other than that, there is no other movement between the Xiangwang Mansion and the Zheng Guogong Mansion. ”
Emperor Yongzhen pinched the petals in his hand: "The son of the Wen family?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it is Wen Luxian, the son of Zheng Guogong, that Wen Gongzi was in love with the third lady in Guo Ge's old mansion before, but the Guo family disliked Wen Gongzi's reputation and refused to marry him, and there was a gap between the two sides. Guo Baiyan's wife and the old lady of the Wen family are both from the same Liu family, and there is still some kinship between them, but the Guo family broke off contact after rejecting the Wen family's proposal in public, and now the third lady of the Guo family is discussing ......with Shao Tong.
"Commander Shao, you mean Shao Jin?" Emperor Yongzhen's expression was slightly paused.
"Exactly, I heard that Commander Shao had long fallen in love with Miss Guo San at first sight, but he didn't come to propose marriage because of the Wen family's affairs before, the son of the Wen family did something before, which ruined Miss Guo San's reputation, and the Guo family would rather Miss Guo San never marry than marry the Zheng Guo Mansion, and later Commander Shao found the Guo family when he learned about it, saying that he wanted to marry Miss Guo San as his wife..."
Emperor Yongzhen listened to Chen An's disagreement between the Guo and Wen families, and said the things that circulated in the market about how Wen Luxian harmed Guo Lingsi's reputation and later "disfigured", and he didn't have any special suspicions about Shao Jin and the Guo family's marriage.
Shao Jin is indeed in charge of the defense of the palace and the safety of the palace, which can be said to be a very important person to him, but although he scolded Shao Jin in anger last time, it does not mean that he no longer trusts Shao Jin.
If Shao Jin marries someone else, he may be a little jealous, but if he is with the Guo family, or with a woman who has ruined her appearance and ruined her reputation, and can't even bring him any benefits at all, he can't be suspicious at all.
The Guo family has been a minister for several generations, and it is the most humble family, and it has never participated in any battle for succession, and Guo Ge Lao is only loyal to the throne, and will never have dissent.
Emperor Yongzhen thought of this, turned his head and asked, "What about that Wen Luxian and 40,000 taels of silver?"
"Back to Your Majesty, after the Guo family rejected the Wen family's proposal, Wen Luxian entered the largest Qing/Lou in Beijing in a fit of anger. ”
Chen An whispered Wen Luxian's previous embarrassment of the Guo family, and then led people to the door to force the Guo family to marry a daughter, and was driven out by the Guo family, and later said all the things in the drunken spring breeze, and when Emperor Yongzhen heard that Wen Zhenghong's son was actually stripped of his clothes and thrown in front of the Qinglou, he was also stunned.
"Wen Zhenghong didn't ransom him?"
"No, I heard that the Qing/Lou people at that time held Wen Gongzi to let Zheng Guogong's Mansion take money to ransom people, Zheng Guogong directly refused, and those people humiliated Wen Gongzi in a fit of anger, and Wen Gongzi never returned to Zheng Guogong's Mansion. ”
Later, King Xiang somehow got into a friendship with Prince Wen, and invited Prince Wen back to King Xiang's mansion, I heard that for this matter, Duchess Zheng Guo also specially came to the door, wanting to bring Prince Wen back, but that Prince Wen hated what Gong Zheng had done before, and he didn't want to go back and made a big fuss, so the news that the Wen family and King Xiang's Mansion were moving around. ”
Emperor Yongzhen listened to Chen An's words, and was a little happy in his heart that Wen Zhenghong's son made such a scandalous thing, but he said suspiciously: "In other words, the Wen family did not get close to King Xiang?"
Chen An shook his head: "It should be not, this time King Xiang was imprisoned, the Wen family has not been in contact with the people of King Xiang's Mansion, and Zheng Guogong has never been in prison to visit him, and he doesn't care whether King Xiang is guilty or not, if they really want to assist King Xiang, it shouldn't be like this, but ......"
"But what?"
"However, the Wen family is indeed secretly in close contact with the Liu family, and some time ago, Zheng Guogong's cousin, an official of the Wen family who released Jiang Yan, had gone to the Northwest Overseer's Mansion in private, and the slave had ordered someone to track down whether he had seen anyone when he went, but there was no news yet. ”
Emperor Yongzhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a gloomy color appeared in his eyes.
He was already taboo about the affairs of the Wen family, and he had been suppressing them all these years, and he did not allow the people of the Wen family to intervene in the affairs of the court, military, and government.
Emperor Yongzhen crushed the flower in his hand, and said coldly: "He is so bold, he actually dares to stretch his hand into the army, do I really dare not deal with him?!"
Chen An saw that Emperor Yongzhen was furious, and stood aside and kept silent.
After a long time, Emperor Yongzhen coldly ordered: "Go to me to check, see who the Wen family's people have dealings with in the Northwest Army, and also, the nephew and nephew of Zheng Guogong's mansion are unworthy of being a knight, Zheng Guogong, as a father, does not think about upbringing, and his son has no virtue and no character, and he is not worthy of the teachings of the sect." ”
"From today onwards, remove Zheng Guogong from his position in the Zongfu, no need to enter the court, and fine him for half a year, so that he can have a good life in the mansion and raise his children and nephews, don't embarrass the family of Da Yan Xungui!"
Chen An listened to Emperor Yongzhen's words, and those words reduced Wen Zhenghong's father and son into the mud.
He knew that Emperor Yongzhen did it on purpose, and Wen Zhenghong had only held a position in the Zongfu in addition to Zheng Guogong's position over the years, and now he was removed from his post and no longer allowed to enter the court, which was considered to have completely severed Wen Zhenghong's connection with the DPRK.
Now that the matter in the Northwest Army has not yet been clarified, Emperor Yongzhen has already done this to the Wen family, if it is really found out that the people of the Wen family are colluded with the army, I am afraid that Emperor Yongzhen will really cut the Wen family to the roots.
