Chapter 369: The Imperial Court
After finishing all the troubles in those two months, and gaining knowledge, Zhen Pingle felt that her current mood was more open, and because she finally had her own home, she felt that it was her barrier, no matter whether she would encounter a lot of danger after coming back, she felt that she could hide on the island, and she felt fearless in her heart.
The overwhelming news came to his ears, and the phantom pattern and the phantom chapter disappeared into the crowd since they got off the boat, Jin Xuanji asked them to inquire about the news, and he guarded Zhen Pingle and Ziying alone, but he was not worried about danger. After waiting for a quarter of an hour in the teahouse, the phantom pattern and the phantom chapter came back one after another, and at the same time brought back a few letters.
Whether it is Zhen Pingdan's letter or Li Rong's letter, because it has been at sea for too long, and no one knows where they went, the letter was cut off when it arrived in Jiangnan, and now that they are back, they should have seen that the letter has finally arrived, Zhen Pingle and Jin Xuanji are very interested in the current world events.
Jin Xuanji looked at his own news, and Zhen Pingle read the letter written by Sister Dan and Li Rong. The letter was sent two months ago, so the things mentioned in the letter have been in the past for a long time now, Li Rong has never mentioned the things in the palace, and only let Zhen Pingle play for a while and go back, it will always be this sentence, Sister Dan'er is also talking about the trivial things at home, occasionally mentioning the prince and the step-princess, but it is not much, because he is afraid that Zhen Pingle will be unhappy. The prince and the princess are currently temporarily living in a small house bought by Prime Minister Xie Cheng, Zhen Pinglu and the princess have met secretly once, and Zhen Pingdan has also reunited with his family once, but they may still break up unhappily, Zhen Pingdan did not say much about what they said when they met.
Zhen Pingle hurriedly read the letter and focused on the storyteller in the teahouse. Storytellers generally tell stories in teahouses to make a little money, but this year has changed, and whoever still wants stories wants to know the changes in the palace, so storytellers don't tell stories anymore, but talk about the big and small things in the capital.
For example, which official was imprisoned, whose brother-in-law robbed the people's daughter and was disabled, and who collided with the prime minister and was beheaded...... Big and small things are mixed together, the storyteller knows what he says, although the matter will be a few days late to reach Jiangnan, but because the storyteller still has some ability, he knows more than the average person, and even many people in the capital do not know the secrets, the storyteller is like making up some stories.
Zhen Pingle looked at the white-bearded old man and felt that this old man must be someone in the palace, otherwise how could he know the situation in the capital so quickly.
After listening to the story for a day, Jin Xuanji and Zhen Pingle probably knew what the situation was now. The old emperor couldn't afford to be sick, and now the princes and grandsons are divided into two factions, some of them support the prince as the prince, and some of them support the prince and grandson as the prince, and even the emperor's younger brother Chun Wangye also wants to participate.
Zhen Pingle is not interested in who the current prince is, and who the prince and grandson are, she always feels very familiar when she hears the name of Prince Chun, and thinks about it carefully, isn't Zhen Pinglu doing things under Prince Chun now, if Prince Chun is in the limelight now, then Zhen Pinglu must also be unstable, Zhen Pingle doesn't know if Zhen Pinglu has helped Prince Chun do something, but she has always felt that Prince Chun and his nephews are fighting for the throne together, not a good uncle, so it may not be a good emperor.
Everyone is waiting for the old emperor to die, and only when the old emperor dies can the new emperor succeed to the throne and create another glorious and prosperous era. Everyone who supports the new monarch speaks very well, pretending to be more powerful than the other, but when the time comes, the world will really be decided, will the person sitting on the throne be like he said, remember that he wants to love the people like a son, be a holy monarch, no one knows what it will be like in the future, so everyone only seizes the day, not talking about the future.
This kind of development is becoming more and more intense, even if the old emperor is sick and half-awake, he is also angry because of the black smoke miasma in the court, and his body, which is already not good, is even more gone.
When the Shen family left, they were still the scapegoators, but when they returned, the Shen family had now regained their innocence. I heard that there is news about the whereabouts of the treasure, which proves that it has nothing to do with the Shen family, and the old emperor also wronged the Shen family, when he was still sober, he not only exempted Shen Songru from being a sinner, but also wanted to promote Shen Songru to be the right prime minister, and Xie Cheng opposed him, and jointly assisted the new emperor.
This move shocked many people, especially Prime Minister Xie Cheng.
For many years in the past, three hundred years ago, there was no saying that there were two prime ministers in one dynasty, not to mention that the Shen family and the Xie family, who had never dealt with each other, had a prime minister. The old emperor's inexplicable move looked like he was promoting the Shen family, but in Zhen Pingle's opinion, it was obviously trapping the Shen family in a dangerous place. Prime Minister Xie Cheng has been immersed in the court for many years, and many forces have more or less relations with him, because he didn't have to deal with the Shen family often, or because Prime Minister Xie didn't bother to deal with the Shen family specifically, so although the Shen family and the Xie family have always been at odds, they still maintain a minimum of politeness on the surface. The old emperor suddenly walked out of a chess move, this chess is dangerous and far-reaching, this is not to let the Shen family hit the Xie family, what is it?
Just when many people were secretly planning because of the old emperor's sudden decision, the next day, the old emperor forgot what he had said. It's like a joke with the ministers, the old emperor is acting alone, no matter what the mood of the people watching the play is, the old emperor is sometimes sober and sometimes drowsy, and it is not that he has made a confused decision when he was confused, and hurt some lives, but after all, the person sitting on the throne now is still the old emperor, even if everyone wants to dissuade him, then the old emperor must be able to understand people's words, the final result is that everyone protects themselves, everyone is in danger, try not to lead things to themselves, and it is a catastrophe to avoid a catastrophe, and wait until the old emperor dies, the new emperor ascended the throne, it must not be such a scene, it is impossible to keep the chaos.
The Shen family was at a disadvantage at the beginning, and was almost taken advantage of, but after avoiding the old emperor's joke of "prime minister", the Shen family has not had any big winds and waves since then, Shen Lao and Shen Songru have always been very low-key, and secretly don't know what to do, and now, not only the treasure has nothing to do with the Shen family, but even Zhen Pingle and Zhen Ping'an have been completely forgotten, and if she returns to Beijing now, there will be no problem at all.
