Chapter 110: Punishment
The Dayue Mountain Sealing Zen Incident soon spread to the capital. Not only in the government and the opposition, but also among the people.
"It's immoral today, that's why God will destroy the altar. β
"This throne was originally snatched. β
"Who says it's not? Duanrui Taisun is orthodox!"
"It's a pity that it was too weak back then and was suppressed. β
"I heard that Duanrui's grandson was secretly executed by this one. β
"The Empress Dowager can't even enter the imperial mausoleum after her death. Our emperor is indeed ruthless!"
"No, I heard that the Seventh Prince was also killed by the emperor himself in Dayue Town a few days ago. β
β¦β¦
Of course, these rebellious words only dare to bite their ears in private, and do not dare to publicize them in public.
However, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and it is a trend that is getting stronger and stronger.
Duan Chentie walked out of the teahouse with a blushing face, the fist in his hand clenched tightly.
Of course, he already knew about the changes in Feng Zen.
Follow the crowd.
It's no wonder that ordinary people believe these nonsense, even those court ministers are also affected by these words, and the intentions of the people behind this matter are really vicious.
When the attendant saw him come out, he hurriedly drove out of the corner and stopped in front of his master.
Duan Chen got into the carriage without saying a word, and ordered the attendants to go to the eldest princess's mansion.
At this time, perhaps only the eldest princess of Fengyang can suppress the rumors. The people in the palace are all on the right side, and even the queen mother and queen can't fully believe it.
Because of the changes that happened in Dayue Mountain, the eldest princess is not having a good time these days.
I heard that the next person passed the news that King Yijun was visiting. Busy people invited him to the study.
Then I hurriedly sorted it out and came to see King Yijun.
The tea was smoky, and the servant quietly retreated after serving the refreshments.
For six years. This is the first time they have met in private, and they feel a lot stranger to each other.
Duan Chen saluted the eldest princess in a proper manner.
The eldest princess sighed secretly and accepted his full salute.
In any case, each other will never go back to the way it used to be.
After being silent for a while, Duan Chen said: "The ministers of the early court reacted differently, and accused Qin Guogong many times in words, which had the intention of forcing the prince to punish the Qin family. β
"Dayue Mountain is enshrined in Zen, although it is the emperor's idea. But without Qin Guogong's support. I'm afraid it's hard to make the trip. Now that something has happened, everyone naturally has to blame the Qin family, is it difficult for them to blame the emperor?"
"You and I know that. The emperor's temper is like this, once he decides something, ten cows can't pull it back. Even without the support of Qin Guogong's faction, he would go to Dayue Mountain. β
"Of course I do. But that's the end of it. Someone has to stand up and take responsibility for this crime. The Qin family is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. β
I have to say. The eldest princess is a calm and ruthless woman. When the imperial power of the Feng clan is threatened, she will not hesitate to sacrifice others in order to preserve the throne of the Feng clan.
Duan Chen looked at her coldly and said, "Don't you care about Qin Wu at all?"
"Wu'er?" The eldest princess was stunned, and then said, "Don't worry, I will take care of her." β
Duan Chen said loudly: "Under the nest, Ann has finished her eggs, princess, I believe you can save her life." But she is a six-year-old girl, without the protection of her family. How much better can you live without your loved ones?"
The eldest princess was silent.
Duan Chen couldn't help but sneer: "Her Royal Highness the princess is a descendant of the Feng family. Since the imperial power is the priority. So it was then, and so it is today. What's the point of being a friend?"
The eldest princess's face was slightly stunned, and she said silently: "She is not Jin'er after all!"
Duan Chen said: "I have different opinions from the princess. Even if she is not Jin'er, I am willing to protect her with all my might. If the princess wants to cure the sins of Qin Guogong, she can't implicate others. Otherwise, not only am I unwilling, but I'm afraid that Old Princess Shen will also try her best to stop it to the end!"
The eldest princess sighed and said, "Qin Wu-I have to say, she is a very likable child!"
Duan Chen glanced at the eldest princess and couldn't help but remind: "The queen mother, the princess has to prepare early, once she confronts the queen, the consequences will be unpredictable!"
The eldest princess suddenly had a headache.
The queen mother does not accept old age and is always attached to authority. Over the years, he has been greatly suppressed by the emperor's younger brother, but he always wants to return to the government. Now is the opportunity, as long as the crime of Qin Guogong is cured, he can destroy the Qin family and bring down the queen. As long as you control the back and palace, it will be much easier to do with a qiΔ......
Duan Chen nodded, and then bowed and retired.
The eldest princess's attitude surprised him, and he had to be wary of the eldest princess. As for quelling the rumors, I don't have to mention it.
After coming out of the eldest princess's mansion, Duan Chen entered the palace by himself.
The crown prince has been sitting and lying down since the dispersal of the dynasty, and he is about to instruct his chamberlain to find King Yijun.
Duan Chen came by himself.
The prince's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly turned out from behind the bookcase, "King Yijun, you should think of a way, they said that they would cure my grandfather's sins!"
Duan Chen said calmly: "Don't panic, the prince!
"Really?"
"Reallyβif your imperial grandmother doesn't intervene, the Qin family will be fine. β
The crown prince thought for a moment and said solemnly: "I will look at the imperial grandmother." β
Duan Chen nodded, "I'll take care of the rest." β
The crown prince suddenly remembered something, and said, "What about my aunt, why didn't she enter the palace with you?"
Duan Chen's face was stunned for a moment, and he quickly said with a restrained expression: "The eldest princess may enter the palace after a while and go directly to the Queen Mother." If the prince is free, the minister is also willing to accompany you to her old man's house to say goodbye. β
In fact, with his identity, it is really inconvenient to see the Queen Mother, but if you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never feel at ease.
The prince agreed without thinking about it.
The two said they would leave and go to the Queen Mother's Ronghua Palace.
When passing by the Imperial Garden, I happened to meet the queen's luan.
The prince hurriedly took Duan Chen to greet the queen.
The queen's face was not good, and she was obviously worried about the Qin family's affairs.
The queen and the Qin family rely on each other. One is prosperous, and one is lost. Therefore, she would never let the Qin family have anything to do.
The queen took the prince's hand, collected the gloom on her face, and said with a kind smile: "Zhao'er, since you are here, you will go with the queen mother to greet your imperial grandmother!"
The crown prince called "Queen Mother" sweetly, and rubbed his head against the queen, "King Yijun also taught his sons and daughters to be filial to the emperor's grandmother. She also said that the emperor's grandmother was a very amazing woman, and she did her best to support her father and emperor back then, which was really not easy!"
The queen listened to the displeasure of the boss in her heart, and subconsciously glanced at Duan Chen.
Duan Chen's face was expressionless, standing there idly, and he didn't speak. Because of Jin'er, he doesn't have a good impression of this queen, and he has never taken her seriously, and of course he doesn't care about her mood.
However, the queen at this time didn't have the heart to bother with him. She had to think of ways to divert the Queen Mother's attention, lest this old woman hold on to her father. (To be continued......)
