58. Royal scandal

On the second day, Li Zong was dismissed by Emperor Mingjing, and after being idle at home, Concubine Shun really couldn't help it.

She's always been the first to strike.

Judging from the current situation, Li Zong is determined not to be fished out unscathed, and even if he escapes the charge of forming a party for personal gain, he will not be able to escape a filthy palace.

Forming a party and running a private business is at most just a trap, and fornicating with the palace concubine is the real life!

What if it's the first emperor's own son? After committing such a rebellious ugly thing, Emperor Ming Jing can justifiably get rid of King Xian!

What Concubine Shun wants is to give Emperor Mingjing a justifiable name, a reason to have to give Li Zong to death!

Presumably, Li Cheng will be grateful to her afterwards.

Take the blood of his heart as a courtesy.

I am grateful to her for letting him know the truth, so that this poor king of a country will not be kept in the dark.

Just an ordinary palace maid in the harem can make Emperor Ming Jing angry and in danger for a while, this change of palace concubine, presumably there will not be the slightest inferior.

She looked at Li Cheng's reaction, gentle and moderate, thinking that the Wang family had not informed Li Cheng of the private relationship between the Pei family and Zong'er, and the Wang family did not dare to let Li Cheng know about this matter in a grand manner.

Not to mention whether the so-called anger is the Tao or Li Cheng's own reasons, she must not want to ask the Wang family to exchange the life of her own son for the life of a prince and the palace concubine.

What Concubine Shun wanted to do was to uncover the fig leaf and make the royal scandal public, so that the Wang family could not do anything about it when they watched their son die in anger.

Sighing, Concubine Shun turned the Buddha beads in her hand with her pale and dry hands, and recited a few words of Buddha's words, her Zong'er, what did she do wrong.

Children who do something wrong are punished.

Instead of handing him over to Li Cheng and the Wang family, it is better to teach him a lesson with his own hands.

Just like ordinary people's families, the only child who gets into trouble is his mother.

After Concubine Shun was ruthless, the forces behind her also began to turn.

Unbeknownst to everyone, a wave of rumors spread around the corner alleys.

There are many small restaurants in the imperial city, and Fulai Restaurant is just one of them.

There are cloth students, there are businessmen who come and go, and so on and so forth.

"Hey! Did you hear that? Recently, the Holy Lord has been cleaning up King Xian on a large scale, because he ...... "A young man in a blue cloth robe sat in the hall of the restaurant, his face was red, with the smell of wine, and he was drunk and awake, and whispered to the people who shared the table on the side.

Maybe it's because he was born with a loud voice, maybe he's really drunk and thinks he's soft, but in fact, even the big man at the next table can hear it clearly.

"Because he's a party and a selfish business! This is news a few days ago, what is there to fuss about! The big man took a pot of wine, naturally walked over, patted the young man's shoulder, and said, "Little brother, your news is not well-informed!" ”

The young man's eyes turned red and he said, "Where is this the reason! I'm afraid this big brother's wine hasn't woken up yet! ”

Generally, people who drink alcohol are in a hurry, and the big man doesn't care, and says with a smile, "Then you can hear it." ”

It has always been the nature of people in the ‖ Dynasty to join in the fun, and it is nothing more than this throughout the ages.

At this time, there were not many people in the hall, but it was not a few, they were all idle people, and when they heard it, they hurriedly gathered around, afraid that they would listen to something less and talk less.

The young man was so young, a group of people surrounded him, with longing and anticipation, and he was a little fluttery for a while, forgetting what his friend had told him to keep secret, and he shook it all out.

"I heard that the virtuous king has always been his duty, obsessed with poetry, where do you have the heart to care about the government, and the party and selfish business you do is pure nothing! As the saying goes, 'the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die', in order to clean him up today, of course he has to be charged! ”

"After talking for a long time, I still haven't got to the point! What's going on? Do you know? "An acute sub-way.

As if he hadn't heard it, the young man continued with great interest, "The main event is here, in other words, this Xianwang's poems are hard to find among Miss Kyoto, and it is not strange that there are a few Huaichun women. ”

From these words, it can be seen that this young man is not a serious person.

There were men all around, and when they heard it, they also showed a tacit smile.

"This is bad, there is an emperor's concubine in the palace who used to be one of the young girls in this Huaichun, and once she entered the palace and hooked up with the prince...... "The young man smiled, and the bookish anger all over his body was gone, "The palace concubine used to be favored for a while, and even the queen mother in the harem had to look at her face, but it was such a favored concubine, and she also gave up the saint and threw herself into the arms of other men." ”

"The emperor cleaned up King Xian because his little wife was robbed?" The big man said.

"But no, being cuckolded, even a man can't stand it!" One person followed suit.

"It is estimated that the saint is today, and he is busy with government affairs, so he has no time to accompany that great beauty!" A lean, thin man with a lewd face said.

"I heard that the one who hooked up with King Xian was the Duanrou Imperial Concubine who was in the limelight some time ago!"

The young man said, "What you say is pure nonsense, Duanrou Imperial Concubine is a famous family of the Su family!" Shall you ruin her reputation? ”

"Which palace concubine is that?"

The young man smiled, "Who else could it be?" Ning Jieyu, who was once pampered, suddenly disappeared, what does this mean? ”

"It turned out to be Ning Jieyu!"

"I don't know what a stunning beauty that Ning Jieyu is, so that the emperor is not willing to punish her."

Indeed, during this time, I have always heard of how the emperor cleaned up King Xian, but I have never heard of any palace concubine who was given to die.

"Maybe it's poisoned wine?"

"It's a shame."

"Where do you know that?" One person questioned.

This kind of royal scandal has always been a secret, where can they, the ordinary people, know?

The young man stood up, shook his clothes, and said, "No, a student who has just arrived in your place in Xia Nai, he specially came to the imperial city to study, and he knows a brother who is a guest in Lord Wang's house. ”

"But the royal family?" A man in brocade exclaimed.

"Exactly." Young people have the way of honor.

"That's a promising future!"

Although the imperial examination system has been resisted by the family, Emperor Ming Jing seems to have the intention of giving up the imperial examination system, and at such an important juncture, Emperor Ming Jing suddenly fell ill for several days, and every qiē seemed to have stagnated, and the Wang family was also greatly troubled in the implementation of the imperial examination system.

However, all the scholars with Qingyun's ambition were unwilling to admit this fact, and in order to get the news of the imperial court clearly, they directly came to the Ming Imperial City.

Some people just dream and are delusional. However, there are many scholars in the world, and one or two out of ten people have such determination and action, which is enough to see students everywhere in the imperial city.

Generally, the family background of the scholar is not very good, and the restraint given to the master every year is enough to make the peasant family live in poverty, and it is difficult to get to the imperial city.

As the saying goes, "useless scholars are scholars", and without a source of income, this group of people will have to go back and forth sooner or later.

This is what the Maison wants to see.

However, the Wang family couldn't watch this group of people leave like this, and with the acquiescence of Emperor Ming Jing, they chose someone with real knowledge, stayed, and became a guest.

Every big family has some doormen in the mansion, and they give ideas or use them for other purposes at critical moments.

The Wang family is willing to keep them, it is the freedom of his Wang family, and no one can say anything.

It is said that it is a doorman, and it can be regarded as an alternative imperial examination, but it is only a small scope.

The Wang family issued the examination papers, selected some talents for Emperor Mingjing, and then Emperor Mingjing made the final ruling.

This is also the reason why Emperor Ming Jing made a stagnant imperial examination system.

He wants this group of high-eyed families to come to him in person to beg him to open the imperial examination!

It won't be long before these families bow down to him.

Rather than letting these students owe the Wang family a great favor, it is better to continue the imperial examination system, so that no one can take advantage!

These flat-headed ordinary people naturally don't understand the twists and turns of these officialdoms, and they don't understand the game between these families and Emperor Mingjing, but in their images, becoming a guest of the royal family is equivalent to having a relationship with the big guys, that is, it is not strange to get some royal secrets.

As soon as the wind blew and the wine woke up, this group of people came back to their senses and the alarm bell in their heads flared up, what does this mean? It shows that today's saints are really cuckolded! Or his own brother!

The people who were just listening to the excitement dispersed one after another.

This kind of royal scandal, where can they, the little people, listen to? Sure enough, I drank too much wine.

Such a situation can be seen everywhere in all large and small restaurants and even teahouses in the imperial city, and if you don't pay attention to the royal scandals, everyone will know about them.

By the time the Queen Mother and Emperor Mingjing heard about it, the entire imperial city had already spread it in private.

At this time, no matter how forbidden it is, the real number does not admit itself, and Emperor Ming Jing does not have the face to make people openly ban rumors.

Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Ming Jing looked at the fold on the secret guard in his hand, his face was calm, but his face was even paler, with a gray paleness.

Huang Shun guessed the content of the fold, bent his waist, held his breath and concentrated, not daring to say too much, for fear of touching Emperor Mingjing's moldy head.

"Huang Shun, I heard that the Queen Mother took Ning Jieyu a few days ago? The small Buddha hall that is still locked up in Cining Palace? Emperor Ming Jing suddenly said in a voice, his lips were cold.

Huang Shun's body trembled, and he almost fell down, sweating on the tip of his nose, "The slave heard that it was the little master Jieyu who offended the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother ordered her to recite and repent in the small Buddha Hall." ”

Externally, the Queen Mother said so.

Emperor Mingjing coughed violently a few times, slapped the table, and said sharply, "Drive Cining Palace!" ”
