Chapter 119: It's the thighs that are cut off
Xue Guogong, the old fox, had long known from the emperor's words and deeds that he had fallen into the emperor's trap, and although he regretted his carelessness this time, he was already ready to be held accountable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The emperor doesn't really want to tear his face with the Xue family, after all, it is his own father-in-law, and the Xue family has also made first-class contributions to the establishment of the country several times in the war, and the emperor doesn't want to do anything to the Xue family immediately, but just plans to gradually disintegrate the Xue family's power in Shangjing City little by little.
Moreover, the mistake made by the Xue family this time can be big or small, at best, it is to ignore the royal etiquette, and to say smaller, it can also be said to be for the safety of the royal family, so the emperor did not order to raid the house, but ordered to search the house, give a small punishment and remove one arm of the Xue family as a punishment, warning the Xue family to act low-key in the next few days.
A few days ago, the Xue family searched out the dragon robe from the Huai Wang's Mansion, and the emperor was also ambiguous and did not clearly give his attitude, and now Xue Guogong escorted Gu Shaoyuan to the emperor, and Huo Chenyi was in it with the mud, and the emperor immediately put on an attitude, making it clear that the matter of hiding the dragon robe privately is absolutely impossible to happen to the Huai King.
Since it is not hidden by King Huai, it can only mean that someone wants to frame King Huai. Since someone wanted to frame King Huai, the emperor naturally wanted to search, and the Xue Guogong Mansion was searched by the emperor as the first object of suspicion.
Huo Yunxuan sneered, picked up the tea that was cold on the table, and said to Qing Ning: "Look at it, the emperor won't find anything on Xue Guogong at all." ”
Qing Ning was puzzled: "Isn't the emperor's purpose here to suppress the Xue family?" How could it be that nothing could be found in Xue's house? ”
Huo Yunxuan hooked the corners of her mouth, squinted her eyes while drinking tea and sneered: "I just said that the emperor will not find anything on Xue Guogong, but I didn't say that the emperor will not find something in Xue's house." ”
Qing Ning thought for a while, but she also understood what Huo Yunxuan meant. Xue Guogong is the national ruler in the end, and the emperor will still save him some face, but Xue Shizi will not have the good luck of his father. In the final analysis, he is just an uncle, and the dragon robe on Gu Shaoyuan's mansion was indeed hidden by Xue Shizi's daughter Xue Ruran, and his son was almost killed by his daughter-in-law, so the emperor naturally would not give a good face. In addition, the emperor already wanted to suppress the Xue family, and every way to suppress Xue Guogong, could it be that there was no way to suppress Xue Shizi?
"The slave and maid know," Qing Ning's eyes were bright, and she looked suddenly bright, and said with a smile: "The so-called father's debt and son's repayment probably mean this." ”
Huo Yunxuan nodded, her eyes were full of disdain and sneer, the emperor couldn't pretend to be confused in this matter, in the end, it involved political affairs, what do you think, the dragon robe has come out, how can the emperor not be angry? What does his Xue family have to do with this dragon robe? If you want to frame Gu Shaoyuan, will there be no other use? The emperor is still alive now, although there are some minor physical problems, but it has not reached the time when you need to immediately establish a prince, what do you mean by doing some things at this time? Can't wait for the current emperor to abdicate?
The queen helped the Xue family suppress Gu Shaoyuan, and she probably didn't have the ambitions of the Xue family, but she just wanted her son to ascend the throne, but this was self-defeating, not only did she not help her son, but if she wanted to pass this matter, she was more or less angered by the emperor.
In the past, when the Xue family had not yet risen, or when there were several families and the Xue family to check and balance each other in the past, it was still possible for the emperor to appoint Gu Shaoyi, the concubine of the Middle Palace, as the prince, but now the Xue family has risen, and those families who can check and balance each other with the Xue family have been defeated over the years, and those who have been enveloped by the Xue family have been encircled, and now the powerful families in the capital are actually the only Xue family, and Xue Guogong is now the same as the previous prime minister, one person above ten thousand people, and now the Xue family's ambitions are vertical and horizontal, How could the emperor dare to rest assured that the country of Daqi would be handed over to Gu Shaoyi, who had the blood of the general Xue family?
The emperor knew in his heart that even if Gu Shaoyi ascended the treasure hall and sat in his place in the future, sooner or later he would become the puppet of the Xue family. After all, Gu Shaoyi is not dry now, what his body looks like, the emperor knows in his heart, and he knows that it is only a matter of the past few years, if it is handed over to Gu Shaoyi, the queen will inevitably be regent, and the Xue family, as a descendant, has established the country several times and has made first-class merits, so it is natural to be named regent. At that time, although Gu Shaoyi is sitting in the position of the emperor, what is the difference between him and a puppet?
The emperor will not hand over this country to Gu Shaoyi, not only Gu Shaoyuan's brothers know this in their hearts, but even Huo Yunxuan has seen it almost through this incident. It's a pity that the authorities are fascinated, but the queen and Gu Shaoyi are still obsessed with that position, and they only regard Gu Shaoyuan as their biggest enemy, but as everyone knows, Gu Shaoyuan didn't take Gu Shaoyi, a milky hairy child, in his eyes at all. In Gu Shaoyuan's eyes, King Pingjun and King Anjun are more threatening than Gu Shaoyi.
Things were really as Huo Yunxuan guessed, Huo Yunxuan had just sent Qingning to send the letter out of the palace to Mu Qingya, and Zhihua came in from the outside curtain.
"Girl." After Zhihua came in from the outside curtain, he first gave Huo Yunxuan a blessing, and hurriedly said: "Girl, the emperor found the golden thread in the Xue Guogong Mansion. ”
As he spoke, he paused, looked at Huo Yunxuan with a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "The emperor found the embroidered lady to compare, the golden silk thread is indeed the same as the golden silk thread on the dragon cannon found from the Huaiwang Mansion, and that kind of golden silk thread is only used when embroidering dragon robes......"
"Found a gold thread?"
Huo Yunxuan squinted her eyes, the golden silk thread can only be used when embroidering the dragon robe, even if the dragon robe is hidden by the Xue family in the Huai Palace, it will not be stupid enough to leave the golden silk thread on his own mansion, right? This was found in the Xue family, and the golden thread was found at a glance, and it was known that it was the emperor's handiwork...... The emperor framed the Xue family so bluntly...... Really...... Unruly.
"Where did you find it?"
Although she knew the answer, Huo Yunxuan still asked again unsure to confirm her guess.
The facts really did not disappoint Huo Yunxuan.
"It was searched in Xue Shizi's room," Zhihua paused, and then said: "It was General Cheng who led people to search......"
"General Cheng?" Huo Yunxuan narrowed her eyes and asked, "That General Cheng?" ”
"The girl is really confused," as soon as Huo Yunxuan's voice fell, Zhiyu covered her mouth and smiled: "How many generals can there be in the capital?" Naturally, he is the father of the Cheng family in the Fifth Lord's Mansion. ”
"It turned out to be him......" Huo Yunxuan narrowed her eyes, thoughtful.
That Cheng Yufei should really be pregnant, this time her father has made another meritorious service, it seems that it is Gu Shaoyuan's meaning - her concubine is pregnant, and she has made a contribution to the heir; The father of the concubine in his own house captured the evidence of a privately made dragon robe, and made another contribution to the government, so that after bringing this matter, Gu Shaoyuan proposed to promote Cheng Yufei to be a side concubine like the emperor.
Squinting her eyes, Huo Yunxuan asked again, "What happened after the golden thread was searched?" What did the emperor do with the Xue family? ”
"The emperor was naturally furious, and asked the sons and grandsons of the Xue family to go to the northwest camp to recharge the army......"
Huo Yunxuan squinted, the emperor was already jealous of the Xue family's military power, why did he let the people of the Xue family fill the army? Didn't you press another pair of shoulders on the Xue family in the barracks?
Seeing Huo Yunxuan's squinting eyes and looking puzzled, she knew that she hadn't made it clear, which bothered Huo Yunxuan, and explained: "It's not the meaning of the army that the girl understands." ”
said, paused, and then said: "That's the case, the emperor ordered Xue Shizi's sons to go to the Northwest Camp to fill the army for three years, and gave orders to the Northwest Camp, saying that they should not care whose sons they are in the past three years, and they will be treated as they should be treated, and he also said that after the young masters come back in three years, they will no longer be able to ...... from the martial arts."
As he spoke, Zhihua suddenly patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at the slave's brain, she actually forgot to say the most important thing, and the emperor took this opportunity to directly confiscate half of the Xue family's military power." ”
That's it, Huo Yunxuan narrowed her eyes and sneered. In fact, the emperor doesn't need special orders at all, this time he specially ordered the northwest camp not to be treated specially, but he was telling those people euphemistically, this person has offended me, you just look at it.
Since the emperor has specially instructed it, will there still be good fruits for the young masters of the Xue family to eat?
And now the emperor directly confiscated the military power of the Xue family, and directly issued an order, saying that after several young masters of the Xue family came back from the northwest camp, they could no longer engage in martial arts.
The Xue family can't start from martial arts since the third generation, and it will be a little difficult to start martial arts if they want to follow martial arts in the fourth generation, after all, their fathers have followed literature, and it will be difficult for their children to practice martial arts again. The emperor's move is really ruthless, and people can't resist it.
"I see," Huo Yunxuan narrowed her eyes and sneered, her eyes full of schadenfreude: "The Xue family has been too rampant in the past few years, and the emperor can't stand it, this time the envoy suppressed them so fiercely is something they should have guessed a long time ago." ”
Zhihua echoed a few words: "No, the Xue family has become more and more rampant in recent years, if the emperor doesn't suppress them, in a few years, this big Qi will be ......."
The word "change surname" was not spoken, after all, it was in the palace, and some sensitive words were still not allowed to be said. Although she didn't say it, Huo Yunxuan also understood. Huo Yunxuan glanced at Zhihua approvingly, and Zhihua didn't look like the most stable one on weekdays, but now he seemed to be the most measured one when he spoke and acted.
Smiling at Zhihua, Huo Yunxuan asked again, "How is the situation over there now?" Big brother is going home? ”
"The emperor ordered someone to send people to arrest several young masters of the Xue family, as for King Huai and Hou Ye...... The emperor didn't say anything, and the slave didn't know the whereabouts of the two masters. ”
Huo Yunxuan nodded and said with a smile: "As long as you are not detained by the emperor, everything is fine." ”
After that, he glanced at Zhishu. The matter of "the queen killed the queen" that Zhishu said just now has not been finished, such a sensitive matter is inconvenient to say in the palace, and looking at Zhishu's appearance, it is probably extremely anxious, thinking about what it should be, so he glanced at Zhishu and said to Zhishu with a smile: "Now a major matter has been solved, let's go to the Queen Mother's side to ask for peace, accompany the Queen Mother for dinner, and mention the matter of returning home by the way." ”
Don't Huo Yunxuan mention this, Zhishu remembered what happened just now, and said with a smile: "The girl should also go back, in the past few days, the ancestors of the family must have thought ruthlessly." ”
In a word, it was a euphemism to tell Huo Yunxuan that it was still necessary to know about this matter earlier, so Huo Yunxuan nodded clearly, then took the pen, went around from behind the desk to the front, put his hand on Zhishu's hand, and smiled at Zhihua: "You have a busy day today, just rest here first, don't follow me around." ”
Zhihua smiled and said with a smile: "In the end, the girl is distressed by the slave." ”
Huo Yunxuan smiled and said, "Young poor mouth, Qingning will come back in a while, you will let her wait for me here for a while." ”
Zhihua smiled as expected, and Huo Yunxuan took Zhishu's hand and took Luo's mother to the front hall.
But I didn't want to, when I went, someone was already talking to the Queen Mother for a long time.
"Miss Xuan is here," Seeing Huo Yunxuan coming in, the Queen Mother hurriedly beckoned to Huo Yunxuan, and pointed at Gu Shaoyuan and smiled: "This is King Huai, I want you to see it for the first time, right?" ”
Well, it's the first time I've seen you today. Huo Yunxuan silently slandered in her heart, but she cooperated with the performance on her face, smiled and gave Gu Shaoyuan a blessing, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Yunxuan met King Huai once in her grandmother's courtyard last year. ”
After thinking for a while, the Queen Mother suddenly laughed: "It's the old mourning family who is confused, he has a very good relationship with your eldest brother, you should have met it in the house." ”
Huo Chenyi immediately smiled and said: "The last time King Huai went to his house to discuss the affairs of the court, it happened that when he asked his grandmother to say goodbye, the little sister was also there. ”
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "This is also a coincidence." ”
After that, he beckoned to Huo Yunxuan and said with a smile: "The mourning family was about to order someone to call you over, but your eldest brother said that he hadn't seen you for a long time, and he missed you." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Gu Shaoyuan, glared at Gu Shaoyuan with disgust, and said angrily: "Your eldest brother is much better than the fifth brother, the fifth brother has been back in Beijing for many days, but I never wanted to come to see the old woman of the mourning family!" ”
Gu Shaoyuan immediately smiled and said: "The imperial grandmother has wronged her grandson, where is the grandson refusing to come, in the end, it is the order of the father that the grandson does not dare to show his face, even Pingyuanhou, I don't know that the grandson is back." ”
The Queen Mother immediately looked at Huo Chenyi, and when she saw Huo Chenyi nodding affirmatively, she nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Forgive me, I don't dare to deceive the mourning family!" ”
After that, he looked at Huo Yunxuan again, pinched Huo Yunxuan's face, and said to Huo Chenyi and the others with a smile: "A few days ago, the queen also mentioned that the girl Xuan was a righteous daughter here in the mourning family, but the girl Xuan was still unwilling, but the mourning family agreed very much, and I don't know what you two mean?" Especially Pingyuanhou, can you agree? (To be continued.) )
