Chapter 174: Scapegoat
Lian Qing was sent back to Huzhou, but the turmoil caused by her did not subside.
At the beginning, Lian Qing did a lot of people know about the small actions she made in the back, her appearance after she came out of Ciyun Nunnery, and the words that Mama Wu deliberately came to the door, the Han family never thought to hide it, and it happened to let those ladies and ladies in the capital who like to watch the dishes know that Mrs. Anguo is not without the protection of her mother's family.
In this way, if there are still people who want to make any ideas in the future, they should always be careful.
Therefore, the Han family did not hide the words that Mama Wu went to the Feng family at all, and even deliberately let people pass on the original words.
This caused quite a stir in the capital.
The strength of the Han family over the years can be seen by anyone, relying on the strength of the Han family, some of the children of the Han family are indeed not too responsible, but the Han family's descendants have always been strict with themselves, like this time, not only sent a good lady to the Tzuyun Nunnery to torture it, but also found the door afterwards to send someone deserved, but this kind of thing has never happened.
Partially, no matter what he thinks in his heart, no one expresses any disapproval of this matter.
Who called this the old man Han, who let Lian Qing, the daughter of a businessman who couldn't see the shape clearly, provoke the daughter of the old man Han who really loved him first?
For the sake of this daughter, Old Man Han can say "disagree" to the emperor bluntly in the Jinluan Palace, but he just used some small means to teach Lian Qing some lessons, what is it?
Could anyone still reprimand Old Man Han for doing something wrong for such a businessman's daughter who didn't know how to advance or retreat?
Oh, I'm afraid that no matter how upright the self-proclaimed imperial history is, he won't say such a thing.
Feng Zhige came to the capital from Huzhou, and it was only more than two years, even if she later became the daughter of the old man Han and married into the Anguo Mansion, but because she has rarely appeared in public, although those high-ranking ladies who think they are superior know many things about her, few people really put her in the right position.
Now that Lian Qing has learned from the past, no one will make the same mistake again.
After Lian Qing was sent back to Huzhou, immediately afterward, the people in the capital saw that when the old man Han found out that the rumors were from the palace, Zhao Tiannan, the emperor, personally promised the old man Han the explanation.
In fact, although the civil and military officials of the Dawu Dynasty did not say it, they actually waited for this explanation for a long time.
Old Man Han can be called the mainstay of the Dawu Dynasty, and now his daughter is being put to death with such a vicious mind, even if there is no old man Han in the early court that day, if Zhao Tiannan does not react to this at all, I am afraid that it will be enough to chill the courtiers.
Zhao Tiannan naturally understands this.
In fact, Zhao Tiannan was also very annoyed after thinking about it.
He was originally a calm person, not to mention that he had experienced more than 20 years of imperial career, but when it came to Hansu, he lost his calmness and calmness, and only relied on an impulse at that time, he ordered people to do it, and he didn't even plan the layout carefully.
If this hastily decided strategy falls on the heads of ordinary boudoir daughters, it may really allow them to walk between life and death, but if the object is Han Su back then, even if there is no old man Han to protect him, even if there is no husband in Anguo's mansion to block her, it is impossible to hurt her in the slightest.
Why is he so breathless?
After this incident, I am afraid that Su Su and Old Man Han already know his purpose, and it is really unknown when they will be able to find another suitable time to start.
In addition, the Great Wu Dynasty is not peaceful now, how can he put all his energy on how to deal with Han Su.
Since that old man Han's grievances in the early court, every time he thinks of this, Zhao Tiannan can't help but feel a little remorseful.
However, no matter how much he regrets it, no matter what, he, as a king, must give an explanation to Old Man Han.
The so-called confession is naturally the mastermind behind the rumors.
But several parties know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, and Zhao Tiannan naturally can't jump out and admit to the world that he is inexplicably going to kill the old man's favorite daughter, so of course, what he pushed out is just a scapegoat.
In the first few years when Zhao Tiannan ascended the throne, he was not keen on pampering the harem, and the number of concubines in the palace was naturally not much.
In addition to the queen Su Shenyu, the imperial concubine is vacant, and the nine concubines have five people: Shu, Jing, Hui, Shun, and Ning, and there are seven of the nine concubines, and there is no definite number under the concubine position.
There is only one prince in the palace, and the other concubines have not seen any movement in their stomachs for so many years, there is no dispute for the storage position, and because Zhao Tiannan is now moving less and less to the harem, it doesn't matter if he competes for favor, the battle between the concubines in the palace over the years is actually not very strong, after Queen Su was banned in Fengwu Palace, the concubines were even more silent, for fear that if they did something wrong, they would smash Zhao Tiannan's tiger beard and end up with the same fate as Queen Su.
The scapegoat that Zhao Tiannan pushed out this time was Concubine Shun, one of the nine concubines.
Obedient to the concubine, just like her title, no matter who is to people or things, she is blindly obedient, among the five concubines, she is probably the one who has the least sense of zΓ i, if it weren't for the fact that she entered the palace and her mother's family was quite powerful, it would not have been possible to be promoted to the concubine position.
It's just that Concubine Shun has been in the palace for many years, and her mother's family has not been reused by Zhao Tiannan over the years, and she has reached the point of decline.
One of the nine concubines, her status in the harem is really not low, and she is a person who blindly agrees with everything, plus her mother's family is weak, even if something happens, no one can stand up for her, such a person, isn't it the most suitable scapegoat?
Of course, Concubine Shun was taken by Zhao Tiannan and explained.
Soon, the holy decree that claimed that Concubine Shun was the mastermind behind the scenes who intended to smear Feng Zhige with rumors was sent to the Anguo Mansion, and the holy decree also had the disposal of Concubine Shun, but the left was just to seize the title, enter the cold palace and the like, as for the other rewards given for this matter, Feng Zhige didn't pay attention to it.
Fortunately, Zhao Tiannan also knew what was going on in his heart, and disposed of Concubine Shun, but he didn't do anything to Concubine Shun's mother's family.
Concubine Shun is the mastermind behind the matter of Feng Zhige, this conclusion is unknown to a few people, but many people know that if you want to talk about the inconspicuous Cheng dΓΉ in the harem, Concubine Shun can definitely be the first, such an honest person who has been honest for more than 20 years will inexplicably want to deal with Feng Zhige who has never even seen him, what a bizarre thing should be?
Furthermore, the rumors about Feng Zhige suddenly appeared in the first and night, and once it was circulated, it spread throughout the capital at the fastest speed.
If there is really such a means, how can Concubine Shun be like this in the palace all these years?
These questions can be thought of by many interested people.
But even if they think about it, what can they do, could it be that they can still jump out and accuse the holy decree of being wrong, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is someone else?
Therefore, after the decree came down, there were hundreds of officials in their hearts who were silent.
In addition to the silence, they will inevitably secretly wonder in their hearts, whose handwriting are these strange rumors about Mrs. Anguo Gongzi, in fact, this answer is easy to guess, after all, how many people in the palace today have such means?
It's just that if it's really what they guessed, why did the emperor do this?
Moreover, judging from the emperor's handling of political affairs over the years, if he really wanted to put Mrs. Anguo to death, he would not have used such pediatric means at all, let alone let Mrs. Anguo turn over so lightly.
But now, not only did the old man Han almost make the matter clear in the early dynasty, but he also gave up a concubine in the palace, but he failed to bring any damage to Mrs. Anguo Gongzi.
What is the emperor's action?
No matter how the courtiers speculated, it was impossible to think of such a bizarre thing as Han Su's return to the world.
In any case, Concubine Shun's crime was settled in everyone's silence, even if it was decided like this.
One of the nine concubines who was originally in a high position in the palace, because of this inexplicable incident, could only end up with the miserable result of spending the rest of her life in the cold palace, even if many people could guess that she was just a cover pushed by Zhao Tiannan, but except for Concubine Shun's mother's family, who would care about how she would live in the future?
Feng Zhige finished receiving the decree, and after returning to the room, he threw the bright yellow decree aside.
Stretching her waist and leaning towards Xiao Jingbei, she closed her eyes slightly to maintain the sleepiness caused by getting up too early to receive the order, and muttered with a slight mockery in her mouth: "I knew it would be like this." β
It's just that Zhao Tiannan's scapegoat was found, but he didn't care much.
What kind of person is Concubine Shun, how is her mother's family now, can she do this, I am afraid that as long as she asks a little, you can know, Zhao Tiannan pushed out such a person, isn't there also a sense that the old man who is not afraid of cold knows his perfunctory attitude at all?
I have endured the suspicion of the Han family for more than 20 years, but now I finally can't hold it down?
Feng Zhige really didn't know whether she should praise Zhao Tiannan's patience and kung fu, or should she laugh at him for not being able to deal with the famine in Jiangnan and other places before she could wait to attack the Han family.
The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden.
The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.
Now that the birds are not finished, the rabbits are not dead, and there is still a place to use the Han family, Zhao Tiannan can't help it?
Slightly closing his eyes and covering his mouth, he yawned, Feng Zhige said softly with sleepiness: "Zhao Tiannan, it really hasn't changed for more than 20 years, it's really worthy of the great gift that I carefully prepared for you." β
She and Old Man Han said that they were ready to fight back, but they didn't just talk.
Xiao Jingbei was changing his posture at this time so that Feng Zhige could lean on his arm more comfortably, and when he heard Feng Zhige's words, his heart moved slightly.
He had always known that Feng Zhige had many secrets in his heart.
Although Feng Zhige has never deliberately avoided him when dealing with certain things since they got married, the more he watched from the side, the more doubts he had in his heart.
This kind of doubt, after this rumor, almost broke his senses.
He is very clear about what happened after Feng Zhige entered Beijing, if he remembers correctly, Feng Zhige only entered the palace once after entering Beijing, and he went to Cining Palace, and there was almost no intersection with the emperor.
The wife of a courtier, the daughter of an old minister in the court, why would the emperor want to release such rumors?
And Feng Zhige, who is only a teenager, what kind of entanglement does she have with the emperor and Old Man Han?
No matter how he thought about it, Xiao Jingbei couldn't come up with an answer that could convince him.
"Who the hell are you......"
was too confused, and unconsciously, Xiao Jingbei asked this question buried deep in his heart.
But then, looking at the half-squinted sleepy-eyed woman in his arms, he was slightly stunned and then relieved, no matter what kind of secret Feng Zhige hid in his heart, now and in the future, she will only be his wife.
As for the rest, if she wanted to sue him, she would naturally sue him, so why should he dig deeper?
With such a cognition, Xiao Jingbei only felt relieved in his heart, as if he had let go of some burden that he had carried for a long time, and even showed a relieved smile.
And at this moment, Feng Zhige, who was originally leaning on his arms with sleepiness, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and his sleepiness was gone.
A pair of phoenix eyes stared at Xiao Jingbei's smiling face for a long time, and Feng Zhige suppressed the exploration in his eyes, and said with a smile: "If I say, I am the cold Su of the year, Xiao Jingbei, do you believe it?" β
Xiao Jingbei was shocked.
Usually, as long as he thought of the relationship between Feng Zhige, Zhao Tiannan, and the Han family, there was always a mess in front of him, as if he was covered with a layer of mist, and he couldn't see through what was hidden behind the mist.
But now, after finding that key point, I looked back and found that all my original doubts had been solved.
It's just that the most important point is that it came so bizarrely?
If someone asked Xiao Jingbei before this, would he believe every word Feng Zhige said, he would definitely give a positive answer, but at this time, he was a little hesitant.
Han Su has been dead for more than 20 years, as long as you know Han Suqi, you should know about it.
Coming back from the dead, this is definitely challenging the limit of Xiao Jingbei's imagination, even in his heart, Feng Zhige has already believed in her as much as he believes in himself, at this moment, he will inevitably hesitate.
But all this hesitation only existed for a short moment.
Xiao Jingbei immediately touched Feng Zhige's cheeks with both hands, with a soft pair of cold eyes, he looked at Feng Zhige's phoenix eyes seriously, and said word by word: "I believe it." β
He believed in her more than in himself. (To be continued.) )
