Chapter 114: Anger
The Tu family is the queen mother's mother, but the queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis mother, who are almost the same age, can get along well in the past few decades, which is a good relationship formed in the battle for the heir back then. Empress Dowager Tu provided support to the emperor, who was still the prince at the time, so that he could successfully succeed to the throne, and also exchanged for wealth and honor for herself, as well as the happy life of her daughter Princess Lin'an.
The emperor thanked the Empress Dowager Tu for her help back then, and never blocked him in the past few decades, so he treated Princess Lin'an and the concubine, and the Tu family, all of which were very tolerant, and the rewards were first-class every year. The queen mother is also grateful to the emperor Shengming, if there is a child of the Tu family who does evil, there is no need for the emperor to speak, she will deal with it as soon as possible, and will never embarrass the emperor.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor have been getting along so well for decades, and everyone in the court and the opposition has praised the Tu family. Even after the Tu family married two daughters to the clan, one of whom was married to a prince who had been hostile to the emperor, the world thought that this was a political need. The other married the king of Shu, and the world praised him as the emperor's generous brother. That is, this year, the Shu Wangfu has sprung up, wanting to fight for the crown prince for the youngest son, and the courtiers see that the Tu family is about to move, and some support for their daughter's grandson, but they just feel that the Tu family is a little biased out of selfish feelings. No one felt that this was disrespectful to the royal family. And because the Tu family is not as obvious and excessive as the Wang family, the antipathy and criticism against them are not so powerful.
It's just that from the position of the prince, the Tu family's approach is a bit cold. Huang Jincheng was dissatisfied with them, but now he only felt that the fog had cleared and the truth had been revealed -- no matter whether the Tu family was motivated by selfish feelings or ambitions, as long as they dared to attack the crown prince, it would be a great rebellion! What about even the queen mother's family? The queen mother was not the emperor's own mother, and the crown prince was not her own grandson. If she didn't want a crown prince who was related to her by blood, why did she insist that Princess Shu and her young son were in Beijing? Just because she was afraid of the queen mother, the emperor did not deal with the mother and son strictly, just like the king of Shu, and directly drove them out of Beijing!
When Huang Jin was established, he wrote a chapter, and ordered his henchmen to be sent to the capital as soon as possible, and he was going to sue the Tu family. After writing the chapter, he informed Qin Bai's side of the news.
After Qin Bai got the news, he sighed a few words, and then took Zhao Mo to find him and persuaded him: "This matter must not be the Queen Mother's intention, maybe it is the Tu family's selfishness." ”
Huang Jincheng disagreed: "How does Yongjiahou know? Without the support of the Queen Mother, they dare to do such a thing?"
Qin Bai was quite sure of this. In his opinion, the status of the queen mother is already undignified, life is happy, and the emperor treats her respectfully, what does she have to toss? Even if the youngest son of the king of Shu really succeeds the royal family and becomes the new crown prince, her status will not be able to be improved again, and her status will not become more noble. Moreover, the young son of the King of Shu said that he was related to her, and he was just the son of her niece, and he was just her nephew. Can a mere nephew be closer than her own daughter?
Empress Dowager Tu has no other children, only one biological daughter, Princess Lin'an, who is married to the son of the emperor's loyal minister, with loving husband and wife, and happy children and grandchildren. I heard that before the princess of Shu married the king of Shu, she had been raised in the palace for a period of time, when she was the daughter of the Tu family, but in the palace she was far less noble than the eldest princess of Lin'an. The Queen Mother repeatedly tried to persuade her, but the results were not good.
There were gossip rumors in the circle of ministers in Beijing, saying that the Tu family once wanted to give their daughter to the current princess of Lin'an, but in the end, they accepted the marriage in the palace and married their daughter to the king of Shu. The king of Shu was a vassal and the princess accompanied him, and for as long as 20 years, his parents could not see each other. After the eldest princess of Lin'an married a concubine, she has been living in Beijing for a long time, but she is very happy, and she can enter the palace to see the queen mother at any time. Will the princess of Shu complain about this? If the princess of Shu really gains power, will she still treat the eldest princess of Lin'an well?
None of this is accurate. It is impossible for Empress Dowager Tu not to think about it. If the crown prince really died of illness, the royal family must have an heir to inherit the throne and need to inherit from the clan, so it is reasonable for the queen mother to favor the youngest son of the king of Shu who is related to her. But this does not mean that she will risk angering the emperor for the sake of her nephew. What's more, once the great crime of murdering the prince is revealed, even if he is as noble as the queen mother, he will not be safe and sound. The Queen Mother is already extremely honored, and there is no need to take such a big risk. Who is the imperial heir, will dare to snub her?
In contrast, the Tu family is more likely to have some delusions. Most of the current scenery of the Tu family is due to the Queen Mother. Although the children of the clan have made official examinations, they are all a minority, and most of them are side branches. The sons of the Yanzhi served as officials in the court, and most of them were idle, and occasionally one or two got real jobs, and their rank was not high. Although this is already very good compared to the Qin family, people's hearts are always not so easy to satisfy. The Tu family may also want to go further, and will feel that their family has never been able to take this step because the emperor is not related to them by blood. They may also worry that the queen mother is old, if she dies once, or if the emperor dies, will the new monarch treat the Tu family so favorably?
In this way, it is more likely that the Tu family will take risks because of selfishness, colluding with the Shu Palace, and wanting to be unfavorable to the prince. On this matter, they may not have the same opinion as the Queen Mother.
Qin Bai analyzed Huang Jincheng for a long time, and the latter completely calmed down, thought about it, and said, "That's right." His Royal Highness wants to use the excuse of recuperating in the palace of Xiaotangshan to secretly go out of Beijing to seek medical treatment, and it is impossible to hide it from the queen mother in the palace. This thing...... The emperor had already informed the Queen Mother, and the Cining Palace and the Crown Princess of the East Palace worked together to make a play and conceal it from the world, and no one in the court has found out that His Royal Highness is not in the Xiaotangshan Palace. If the Queen Mother had the intention to be unfavorable to the crown prince, it would not be Li Yanchao's turn to report the news, and the Shu Wangfu should have sent someone a long time ago. This time, it was indeed Huang Jincheng's own impulsiveness.
Qin Bai smiled and said: "Since the Empress Dowager has not been involved in it, it will be much easier for you and me to act, and the emperor will have a lot less worries about who he wants to deal with." I also hope that Lord Huang will write more clearly in the recital, so as not to let the Queen Mother be wronged. ”
Huang Jincheng glanced at him speechlessly: "Yongjiahou is really a guess, I haven't said anything, you know that I wrote a recital." Don't worry, I'm going to rewrite it, and I guarantee that I won't let the Queen Mother be wronged, but the Tu family is guilty, and her old man should also know it, and when it is time to kill her relatives with righteousness, don't be soft-hearted. ”
The matter of the twist and turn is not mentioned, the Tu family is here, and they have to discuss how to deal with it.
According to the information from the eyes of Yazhong in Shangyuan County, except for Zhen Lili, who is the leader of the group, who is a person with a name and surname who can tell the origin, the rest are all unfamiliar faces, and they are not good at first glance. The Tu family is the home of the scholarly eunuchs, how can there be such a subordinate? Huang Jincheng has ordered his own soldiers to find out where those people are staying in Jinling City, but there is a guess about these people: "I suspect that those few people who are not the Tu family are very likely to be dead soldiers raised by the Shu Wangfu." ”
On this issue, Zhao Mo can provide a little help: "There are indeed dead soldiers in the Shu Wangfu, and there are many secret manpower to help the King of Shu do some shady things, such as sending people to Liaodong, threatening my second uncle with military funds, and letting the prince and the second uncle work together to frame my father, these people did it." In addition, the king of Shu also cast a wide net, buying eyeliner in various official offices and armies, and planting people's hands, if it were not for these eyeliner informants, how could the king of Shu know that there was a corruption of military funds in the Liaodong army? I also once heard my father's cronies report to my father that a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing had changed its owner in the middle of the year, and the situation in the village has been a little strange since then, and I suspect that it is probably the place where the Shu Wangfu raised the dead. ”
Huang Jincheng's face sank: "What a bold man, he dares to raise dead soldiers in the capital! Do they still have the emperor in their eyes?!"
Qin Bai said: "So...... It is very likely that the dead soldiers will come and not ordinary court servants, for fear that rashly introducing them to the inner bridge will cause bad consequences. ”
Huang Jincheng sneered: "Let them go! If they really ignore the officials and businessmen gathered in the inner bridge and do evil, then they are exhausted." When I have evidence of their crimes, I will complain to the emperor, and I will be more confident. This time, I will wipe out all these rebellious ministers and thieves and wipe them out! ”
The lure of the enemy was almost all arranged by Huang Jincheng, and Qin Bai was just assisting from the side. Now that Huang Jincheng had made up his mind, Qin Bai didn't say anything more, just reminded him not to make things too big. In the prosperous land of Jinling, if there is chaos, it will not be of much benefit to him, the commander.
Zhao Mo diverted the topic at the right time to ease the atmosphere in the room: "Brother Jian, where have they been? I don't know how long it will take to return to the capital?
Huang Jincheng calmed down a little. He has a lot less prejudice against Zhao Mo now, and he is no longer suspicious at every turn like before. Zhao Mo asked Qin Jian, but in fact, what he really asked was the whereabouts of the prince, and he also replied truthfully: "Go all the way, Your Highness has suffered." After they arrived in Xuzhou, they rested for two days, and Imperial Doctor Tang recuperated his body before setting off again. Brother Jian sent a letter yesterday, but it was about to arrive in Jining. They walked along the canal all the way, and it was quite smooth, but the canal was not yet navigable, and they were afraid that they would have to go all the way to the capital. ”
Zhao Mo nodded, and said: "Lord Huang has ever sent a letter to the capital? When they cross the Yellow River, if the emperor sends someone to pick them up, the road will be much more stable." ”
Huang Jincheng showed a slight smile on his face: "Of course, Your Highness set off, and I sent a secret letter to Jingzhong." The emperor will arrange it. When the people sent by the emperor from the capital converge with His Royal Highness and his party, it will be foolproof. ”
