"Queen Qiao was convicted and sent to the cold palace back then, why did she go wrong?"
Facing her husband, Mrs. Wei Beihou looked solemn, and she was very different from Fang Cai.
Wei Beihou thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know." Although Empress Qiao was convicted and then died in the cold palace, the first emperor did not deprive her of her title until her death - this matter was kept secret by the first emperor, and the ministers who wrote to defend Empress Qiao were implicated and convicted, and the Qiao family was wiped out overnight, and no one dared to mention it again. ā
"Is there no rumor?" Mrs. Wei Beihou said easily to her daughter, but she was still very uneasy in her heart.
She told her husband what her daughter had said.
"According to what James Shichun means now, he has a daughter with Queen Qiao, who is now Cheng Huan, isn't it ridiculous?"
Wei Beihou also felt ridiculous: "This is simply a joke! Empress Qiao was not a simple person back then, if she really had an illegitimate daughter, how could she be quiet and not show a trace of the wind? If Empress Qiao was convicted because of this, it would be even more unreasonable, Cheng Huan's age is not right, when Empress Qiao died, Cheng Huan was eight years old, how could a person like the first emperor tolerate it for so many years? According to the eyeliner that our Houfu put in the palace back then, before Empress Qiao was convicted, the first emperor and Empress Qiao had a dispute, as for the content, no one knows, I will let people check the old things of the year to see what Zhan Songlin wants to do. ā
"Well, that's all there is to it now. ā
Mrs. Wei Beihou was a little relieved, and pressed her churning thoughts, and looked left and right:
"What about the son?"
Wei Beihou smiled: "I was called away by someone from the palace, saying that he was going to start the morning court from today, and he didn't even give time to talk to Cheng Huan." He could only go in a hurry, saying that Cheng Huan would rest in the house first, and he would come down to pick her up. ā
For the emperor, this matter is a stumbling block for the marriage of the two families, but for the Qin Wangfu and the Weibei Houfu, it is naturally a good thing that cannot be sought.
Mrs. Wei Beihou didn't say anything more.
The emperor is willing to do it, so let him do it, and now the people outside are singing praises for King Qin, and this is not something that he can change by calling Xiao Shaotang to be embarrassed.
On the Tai Chi Palace, Xiao Shaoyun felt that there was no time for everything to go well.
"Uncle Qin Wang is really my good uncle, Shaotang, you are also my good brother! Now everyone is praising your father and son - by the way, what do you say?"
Xiao Shaoyun took Xiao Shaotang out alone and sarcastically said that the eyes of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs were all on him, and many people couldn't help but feel that the prince of Qin was very pitiful standing alone in the center of the empty hall.
Hey, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, why was King Qin convicted back then?
Everyone knows that maybe the events of the year will be repeated.
Fang Handong, the emperor's dog-legged man on one side, also came out in time, and the yin and yang strange qi said:
As for His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, it is even more miraculous - it is said that the prince of Qin got married, and the good news will arrive on the same day, and this is the happy event of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin that brought happiness to Daqi, and it is almost said that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is the reincarnation of a lucky star...... This foolish people are foolish people, this memory is really bad, forget that the prince of Qin can serve the country, that is also an opportunity given by the emperor regardless of his previous suspicions, as for His Royal Highness the prince, this marriage has become a good omen, it is even more ridiculous, isn't this marriage given by the emperor...... It's shameless for them to take such credit and win over the hearts of the people......"
Fang Handong chattered endlessly, and his tone was exactly the tricky and sour that the emperor liked.
Xiao Shaotang turned his head and looked at him coldly, and when he said enough, he said coldly:
"Lord Fang is preparing to enter the palace to serve the emperor?"
"What?" Fang Handong's rambling was interrupted coldly, and he was inexplicably surprised by this words: "What do you mean?"
"Lord Fang's tone of speech made this prince feel very similar to some old eunuchs in the palace who flattered him when he saw this son, and when he heard it, he thought that Lord Fang was not going to be a scholar, but was going to enter the palace to be Fang's father-in-law!"
The Manchu ministers were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter:
"Father-in-law Fang! Fang Shangshu is going to be a father-in-law!"
There are ministers who don't deal with Fang Handong on weekdays, and they are even more laughing back and forth, unscrupulous, and tears are about to come out: "I really don't see it on weekdays, Lord Fang still has such ambitions, Father-in-law Fang! Haha! Father-in-law!"
The emperor's face turned green when he sat on the dragon throne, and he hated that these ministers would not look at each other, so what kind of coaxing followed!
It's a pity that these ministers who have experienced the court staff a few times don't know how to look at the emperor's face very well, besides, is it just a few more laughs, the emperor is angry, and he can't punish the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty just because everyone laughs a few more times?
Fang Handong was suddenly so angry that he smoked, pointed at Xiao Shaotang and scolded angrily:
"Your Royal Highness, how can you humiliate this official and the official of the imperial court like this, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?"
"This son is not from the Criminal Department, how do you know what crime to be guilty of?" Xiao Shaotang put away the sarcastic smile on his face, raised his long eyebrows, and looked at Fang Handong fiercely and scolded angrily:
"Lord Fang still knows that he is an official of the imperial court! This prince didn't see it at all! This prince only saw Lord Fang, you are playing with right and wrong, provoking the feelings of the royal brother and the brother of this world, what is the difference between the long-tongued woman in the market?"
After reprimanding, he arched his hand to the gloomy emperor and said:
"Brother Mingjian, no matter how bad the father and his brother are, they are also the blood relatives of the emperor, the father and the king fought bloodily for the country and the king, and the younger brother was loyal to the imperial brother in Beijing, but when it comes to Lord Fang's mouth, has it become ill-intentioned? The people just said a few good words, but they were so exaggerated by Lord Fang, what is their intention? Isn't it right that the father and the king won the battle? Isn't the day when the younger brother gets married also selected by the Ministry of Rites? Fang Handong is so malicious speculation, is it to force the father and son to die?"
The questioning voice of the prince of Qin was deafening, echoing in the main hall, and the laughter of the ministers was finally completely put away.
The emperor's face was gloomy, and he suddenly slapped the dragon chair and said angrily:
"Xiao Shaotang, are you questioning him, or are you questioning me!"
"Whoever maliciously speculates about the loyalty of the minister's father and son, the minister's brother will question whom! The minister's brother can't stand the grievances, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes, if the royal brother really wants the minister's brother to suffer this grievance, the minister's brother might as well crash to death in this Taiji Hall to prove his innocence!"
Xiao Shaotang remembered that he was called over to listen to the training for such a and left Bai Chenghuan alone in Weibei Houfu, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
The emperor trembled with anger:
"Bang, if you have the ability, you will kill me today!"
If it's really dead, it's clean!
Xiao Shaotang was not ambiguous, and when he turned around, he was about to find a pillar to hit up, but he was stopped by a few ministers who reacted - just kidding, if the prince of Qin was killed, the king of Qin would not be allowed to come to the capital?
