The turmoil of the concubine has not stopped, the emperor issued an order to go to Xiangshan for the Double Ninth Festival, and the noble families are over 18 years old, and the children who are not married will go with them.

As soon as this decree came out, the government and the opposition were in an uproar.

Those officials who were beaten by the court staff were indignant, the emperor did not set up a concubine, what did he do when he summoned the sons of the nobles to accompany him? The scars on their buttocks are still there, and the emperor doesn't listen to persuasion, but he still has the heart to enjoy the scenery and play? It's too much!

A few days ago, it was rumored that the queen wanted to choose a horse for the eldest princess of Yongning and Princess Roujia, but then she was disturbed by those hateful civil officials, and she was gone. Could it be that the emperor and queen took the opportunity of the Xiangshan trip to test the sons and daughters of the noble family of the school and choose horses for the two princesses?

The nobles immediately moved, and the eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, so all kinds of gossip flew all over the sky.

According to the rules of this dynasty, horses cannot participate in politics. Those scholars who have jumped into the dragon gate in the cold window for ten years are naturally unwilling to give up their ambitions and ideals, and become horses who have nothing to do and look at the princess's face. But Xungui is different, Xungui has no real power, the eldest son is a knight, and the remaining sons are either like those poor children who crowd the single-plank bridge to take the road of the imperial examination, or can only eat and wait for death. But not every child is reading material.

If you can become a princess, the children born have royal blood, not to mention the noble status, and the identity and status of the family are also much higher than other nobles. There is a colt in the house, and other nobles always have to look up.

Cui Keyin also saw that the aspiring scholars did not want Princess Shang to destroy her future, so she set her sights on these nobles. It's just that the sons and daughters of the noble have a lot of gentleness, and they have to choose carefully. Therefore, Zhou Hengcai ordered the children of Xungui to accompany him.

If it weren't for the sake of the two sisters' life's events. Where can he go away now?

In Anhua Palace, Princess Roujia handed the plate of rose cake to Cui Keyin, and said with a sweet smile: "I made it myself, the fourth sister-in-law quickly tasted it and saw how it tasted." ”

Knowing that she loves to eat rose cakes, I specially learned from red beans and made them to honor her.

Cui Keyin's attitude towards Princess Roujia's 180-degree change was no longer strange, she took a bite and said with a smile: "No, the filling and flour are all red bean flavors, my sister just took the rose cake out of the oven, right?" ”

There were also ovens in this era. It is specially used to make some exquisite eating snacks.

Princess Roujia's face was not red. His heart didn't beat, and he said, "I really learned." This is a demonstration of red beans to show me. Then with a wave of her hand, Purple Radix took two steps forward and presented another plate of rose cake. The color is a bit dark. It's a bit ugly. looked at it and made people lose their appetite, and said, "I made this, and the fourth sister-in-law will try it again." ”

She smiled smartly. A flattering look.

Cui Keyin rolled her eyes, took it and took a bite of the skin, the taste was not ordinarily bad.

"How? Can you still eat? Princess Roujia asked flatteringly.

Cui Keyin put down the plate and said, "Have you eaten it?" ”

"I ate it, and I thought it was okay." Roujia blushed a little.

Princess Yongning, who was sitting on the side and was completely transparent, also took a piece to eat, and then said with a bitter face: "Did you really learn from Hongdou?" ”

It's so unpalatable.

"yes." Rou Jia nodded, and then said, "It must be that the red beans are not taught well." ”

Otherwise, she would have made the same flavor as red beans.

Cui Keyin was speechless.

Lu Ying came in and said a few words in Cui Keyin's ear, Cui Keyin's face turned gloomy, and said, "I still have something to do, you guys go back first." On the day of the trip to Xiangshan, dress yourself up beautifully, what do you need, and prepare for the Shangfu Bureau. ”

Yongning and Roujia got up and thanked them and retired.

As soon as the two left, Cui Keyin said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Lu Ying said angrily: "A group of people led by Zhou Quan impeached Niangniang for the twelve major crimes, saying that if Niangniang is not deposed, Dajia will not be able to protect the country. The emperor lost his temper and once again cast a staff on the officials listed on the fold. ”

Zhou Quan's ass had just grown new meat, and the second time he was beaten, it was for the bar to bloom, which was not only very painful, but also very uncomfortable. But after applying the cane, he dragged his injured body and ran to Lihuamen to kneel.

Cui Keyin came out to see him and said, "Forcing the emperor to depose the queen at every turn, is it the courtier's doing?" When you were a child, you read poetry books, did the history books record the precedent of courtiers abolishing the queen? ”

It has always been that the emperor can only be deposed if the queen is immoral. It's that the emperor doesn't like the queen, and if he wants to abolish the queen, the courtiers only have bitter advice, how can there be a courtier who wants to die or live, and he has to abolish the emperor?

Zhou Quan had nothing to say, kowtowed and limped away.

Cui Keyin moved the real fire, brought Yuanshan over, and said, "What's the situation at Zhouquan's family?" ”

If you don't treat him, it's really lawless.

Yuanshan said: "He has only one eighty-year-old mother at home. There are no relatives either, most of them are in their hometowns, and they have not entered Beijing. ”

"Don't you have a wife and children?" Cui Keyin was puzzled.

Yuanshan sighed: "He was married when he was young, and for some reason, his wife hanged herself. He once had a daughter, and one day when she was five years old, she was sitting at the door when a strange man passing by handed her a piece of baked cake, and she was well aware of it, and locked her in the house and starved to death. The neighbor reported to the official, and he quoted the scriptures in court, but the county order actually said that he couldn't do it, so he had to report to the criminal department. I don't know what happened, but in the end, he was acquitted. ”

Can even her daughter starve to death? Cui Keyin frowned and said, "Such a person, how can He De be an official?" ”

Yuanshan said with a bitter face: "I don't know what the examiner thought at that time, he actually let him get the jinshi." ”

In the evening, Cui Keyin chatted with Zhou Heng, talked about Zhou Quan's ruthlessness, and said, "I'm afraid that he will bite you and ask you to take a concubine." Will you demote him and exile him? ”

Bitterly admonishing the emperor's imperial history, at most he transferred an envoy, or found an excuse to demote the official and exile. The emperor cherished his good name, and it was unlikely that he would have beheaded them in prison.

Zhou Quandao: "Not for the time being." If this matter is not resolved, it is inevitable that someone will make a fuss about the concubine in the future, it is better to solve it once, and the courtiers will know my determination, and there will be no second words. ”

Does this mean never changing your mind? Cui Keyin just looked at Zhou Heng and smiled, "The emperor has thought about it." ”

"That's nature." Zhou Heng said: "Rest." ”

The two packed up and rested, and there was no word for the night.

The news that Zhou Quan was refuted by Cui Keyin did not go away, and many courtiers thought about what Cui Keyin said: "Has it been recorded in the history books that the courtiers abolished the queen? The words said: "The queen has not lost her morality, let alone committed the seven rules, how can she be deposed casually?" When Zhou Quan was invited to discuss, he couldn't excuse himself.

Zhou Quan saw that there were fewer and fewer people in the same way, and in the end, only the colleagues of the Metropolitan Procuratorate continued to fight for the cause of the concubine, and he couldn't help but be very anxious. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that this matter will not be resolved, how can this be?

He flipped through the history books for a few days with an injury, and decided to have a good theory with Cui Keyin, but he didn't expect to meet Cui Keyin and was blocked back by Cui Keyin's words.

"This palace has nothing to say to those who disregard humanity." Cui Keyin said loudly. (To be continued.) )
