Chapter 64: The Emperor's Intent
Mu Haoyu saw a lot of excerpts from Ouyang Ye, which was nothing more than protecting the princess to make the emperor a holy judge. It's really ridiculous to see the content of these invitations, for the first time in history, so many ministers have joined forces to dig up the family affairs of the minister's family, and they originally planned to make Ouyang Ye suffer a big loss, but now someone happened to set up a stage, how to do it if they didn't sing it, and let their subordinates make trouble.
Mu Haoyu pressed down the excerpts that were presented to participate in the performance, and did not mention it on his face, he did what he should do on weekdays, as if he was not interested in what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now the officials at the bottom thought that it was self-defeating and the most cheerful people who were shouting were all silent, and it was better not to act rashly if they didn't find out the holy will.
Rumors are flying all over the sky, the same day is the same, and the rumors that Pinglan Yuan is a fierce place are not new, these days are spreading the matter of the county lord of Zunyi, saying that the lord of Zunyi is rushing, and his body is not good, and even more said that the lord of Zunyi may be a ghost, otherwise how can he die.
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately stirred up a thousand waves, some people refuted it, some people believed it, and some people became more and more crooked, so that most people couldn't distinguish the truth from the false, and their brains were confused.
If you want to say that the ghost of the county lord of Zunyi is on the body, it is amazing, no matter who this word came from, slandering the county lord will be questioned, not to mention that it is a ghost and a god, the world is superstitious, if it is really determined, it will ruin the reputation of the county lord of Zunyi, who dares to deal with it, and he has already hidden without a shadow when he sees it.
This matter has a great impact, it's not a trivial matter that can be just talked, the matter involves the powerful people of the current dynasty, where can people spread rumors casually, and there is the emperor watching it. Don't you know how much the emperor valued the county lord of Zunyi at the beginning, if you want to say that the lord of Zunyi is a ghost, isn't it a secret that the emperor has no eyesight, and he can't even tell whether he is a human or a ghost.
As soon as the matter came out of the city, it was difficult not to alarm the emperor, Mu Haoyu made a dragon power above the court, even if the whole thing was promoted under his own instructions. He still didn't want to hear anyone slander his daughter, not even a word.
Long Yan was furious, just for the sake of honoring the reputation of the county lord, which made the ministers standing below suddenly frightened. How much does the emperor love the county lord, but he did not hesitate to be angry about such a trivial matter, and ordered someone to investigate thoroughly, this, this, this, it is really shocking.
At this time, the ministers deeply realized that the emperor was heartbroken for the lord of Zunyi, and it hurt to the bones. That's the emperor's own flesh and blood, but what he lost is the royal bloodline, how can it not be compared to the reputation of the county lord of Zunyi, it can be seen from the comparison between the two, the emperor has always valued the lord of Zunyi. And Princess Hening no longer has the Sacred Heart.
To say that the emperor's approach is not wrong, after all, Princess Hening is married to a wife, as the saying goes, the water spilled by the married daughter, anything should be solved at home, what is the matter if you stab it in front of the emperor, do you say that the emperor cares or not. Tube. is to put his hand into the backyard of the courtier's house, isn't this purely a diaphragm, how can there be any reason to do so; No matter what, it's his own daughter on the other side, how can a daughter who has been wronged as a father stand by and watch, it's not suitable for the left and right, it's better to drag it and don't know.
The ministers only then came to their senses. The emperor also has the emperor's difficulties, knowing is one thing, doing it or not doing it is another, being a subordinate always gives the emperor a problem to show his loyalty to the emperor, you see that such a little thing can be dug out. Doesn't it show your loyalty to the royal family?
The emperor avoids the important and only cares about the lord of Zunyi, some ministers look at it in their eyes, how can they look at the lord of Zunyi more like the emperor's daughter. The thought only flashed in time, and it was all slander.
The emperor was furious, and the officials below were all silent, even if they were full of doubts in their hearts, they didn't dare to speak at this time, the anger of the thunder didn't have time to dodge, and they dared to move forward, and it didn't matter if they lost their official positions, they didn't care about their lives, and no one sympathized with you.
From the thorough investigation of the holy decree to the result, the whole process took only half a day, and the people who spread the rumors and caused the trouble have also been detained, but the root cause is not from the person who was caught, but from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Originally, if the subordinates under the strict discipline in the Prime Minister's Mansion would dare to talk nonsense, they would not spread the news of what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they would not simply pick out the things in the Pinglan Garden, and finally involve the owner of the Pinglan Garden, Zunyi County Lord, one by one, one by one, in front of him, whether it is really something, or someone who takes the opportunity to test something, it is impossible to know.
The outside world has dealt with a group of rumors and troublemakers in today's Shengshang, most of them said they couldn't understand it, and felt that it was too much fuss, completely unnecessary, and it was not just this one thing that there were rumors, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false things in the world, most of them were just listening to it, and they didn't really take it to heart, if they were like this incident, there were more rumors, and it would be difficult to arrest them and put them in prison, so what fun would everyone have in the future, they all shut their mouths and people must not be driven crazy!
A few people see that today's saint's love for the lord of Zunyi is on a higher level, no matter how big or small, although this incident is a bit excessive, those who spread rumors and make trouble should be taught a lesson, how to say that people are a good girl's family, you say that people are ghosts, isn't that purely trying to ruin people's reputation, how can there be such a black heart, fortunately, this time it is committed on the head of the county lord of Zunyi, to replace it with someone else, but maybe he hanged himself on the spot, the name of the daughter's family is comparable to life, and destroying people's reputation is not harming people's lives!
When the palace concubine learned what happened to her daughter, her whole face turned blue, the good child was gone, and she made such a fuss, and she wanted to beg the emperor to support her daughter to find out the culprit, but now she really responded to the rumors outside, her daughter is not as good as the lord of Zunyi, just looking at the emperor's attitude towards the lord of Zunyi, there is no need to guess at all, facts speak louder than words, so that she can ask the emperor, in case the matter involves something else, at that time the whole body is full of mouths and can't tell.
Concubine Shu forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and wrote a letter to her daughter, so that her daughter could relax and recuperate, the child will have it in the future, as for the dead grandmother, she is just a slave, and she will pick a good one in a few days and send it over, warning her daughter not to be petty, relying on the identity of the princess to make trouble, it will not benefit herself at all, maybe it will annoy the emperor, and there will be no place to reason in the future. As for the two minions who killed Mama, Concubine Shu advocated that the matter should be handled by the Prime Minister, regardless of the outcome. Don't ask, it's good for everyone, and everyone can take a step back to make the family harmonious.
As soon as Concubine Shu's letter was sent out of the palace gate, Mu Haoyu had an extra copy in his hand that was exactly the same.
After reading the letter, Mu Hao directly handed it to Li Desheng to dispose of. "Concubine Shu is quite self-aware."
"Concubine Niangniang has always known how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages." Li Desheng pointed out: "Otherwise, I won't sit firmly in the position of the concubine." "It's not enough to be able to sit on the throne of a concubine, it's not enough to be solved by others without means.
"Sometimes it's stupid, I really think that with Hening as the backing, I can have no scruples." If Mu Haoyu hadn't seen some use in Hening, he would have sent Concubine Shu to the cold palace long ago.
"Your Majesty, do you still need medicine on Princess Hening's side?" Li Desheng asked.
"How's it going?" A cold luster appeared in Mu Haoyu's eyes.
"It's probably hard to get pregnant." Li Desheng replied truthfully.
"That's good." Mu Haoyu doesn't care about Princess Hening's life or death, what he wants is to cut off the incense of the Ouyang family, if there is no hope, there will be no hope for the future, the tree is big and the branches are flourishing, there will always be a day when it withers and withers, there is no heir to continue, no matter how big the power is, what is the use. There will always be a day of decline.
If Mu Haoyu hadn't pushed behind him, how could Zuo Zhen alone harm Princess Hening's miscarriage, I really thought it would be okay to be scared.
Mu Haoyu ordered someone to pretend to be a subordinate in the ear of Princess Hening to repeatedly talk about how the county lord of Zunyi was, so as to attract her to Pinglan Garden, and then borrow the manpower in Lanyuan to get rid of the grandmother beside Princess Hening. One is to cause panic in the house, and the other is to drug Shun lĂŹ, the fright will not lead to miscarriage, there is half a possibility of overdue, then the other half must be completed, and the grandmother next to Princess Hening is an old man in the palace, and it is difficult to guarantee that she has not been exposed to some drugs. It is basically not feasible to have her in the drug, so there is only one way to choose, and after eliminating the people who are in the way, it will go with the flow.
The only thing Mu Haoyu didn't control was human words, but he didn't expect to involve his little daughter and let people with intentions take the opportunity to slander him, including Ouyang Ye's indulgence. With Ouyang Ye's ability, how could he not manage the people in the mansion, the servants in the prime minister's mansion were all old men who followed Ouyang Ye early in the morning, how could it be unclear what to say and what not to say, obviously, after Zuo Zhen deliberately released the news. Ouyang Ye planned to make trouble, although he was very careful, but with Mu Haoyu's years of observation, it is not difficult to see Ouyang Ye's conspiracy, Ouyang Ye is unkind, don't blame yourself for being unjust.
For Ouyang Lin, who is extra in the whole thing, the father and son are as ruthless, Zuo Zhen's child is Ouyang Lin, the person who is about to become a father, who is about to become a father, he should really pity the unborn child, fortunately, there is still a chance to choose to reincarnate, next time you have to see people clearly, don't entrust yourself to such a family that kills children for profit.
"Dad, what should I do after that?" Ouyang Lin didn't expect that the matter would really be poked out, and he couldn't react at all for a while, but fortunately, the emperor did not delve into the matter of the damage to the reputation of the little sister, and the two things together came from the house, and a reasonable reason must be given.
Ouyang Ye was silent, thinking of his own affairs.
"Dad, we have to give an explanation, right?" Seeing that his father didn't answer, Ouyang Lin said anxiously: "The emperor has already registered on his side." "As for Princess Hening's side, Ouyang Lin has long been put aside, and the important thing is still the emperor's attitude.
"What do you want?" Ouyang Ye's biggest headache now is not the matter of Princess Hening, but whether the emperor can see that there is his own shadow behind this matter.
"Let's not talk about the princess first, the emperor's attention to the little sister alone can't help but arouse suspicion." This is the first time that Ouyang Lin has truly felt the emperor's love for the lord of Zunyi, even if it is just a rumor, the emperor has ordered a thorough investigation in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, whether such a favor is good or bad.
"Dad, do you really want to send your little sister to the palace as a concubine?" Ouyang Lin originally wanted to say that the emperor likes the county lord of Zunyi so much, even if there is too much difference between the two, he must show everyone the emperor's honor and favor for the county lord of Zunyi.
"What are you thinking?" Ouyang Ye frowned when he heard his son's stupid words, and immediately snorted, "Look at what you look like now!" "Isn't she just a princess, why did she lose her usual stability.
Ouyang Lin was stunned and woke up, calmed down and thought about his behavior in the past few days, he lost his usual heart, not to mention that he was messed up, he was afraid that the whole thing would be convicted by the emperor in anger, so he was eager to find a way to get the best of both worlds.
"The emperor will not condemn the crime." Ouyang Ye sighed lightly, his son is still too young and impetuous, and he still needs to be tempered.
"It has only been a long time since Princess Hening married into the mansion, less than a year, and the emperor will not interfere in the housework of the minister's family, and it is even more nonsense to say that he is guilty. A few reprimands are sufficient. Ouyang Ye explained: "You have to pay more attention to Princess Hening, this matter has been revealed, and you have to appease Zuo Zhen more, don't always let me such idleness for you." â
"Yes. The son lost his temper. After Ouyang Lin calmed down, he figured it out.
Princess Hening was silent when she saw the letter written to her by Concubine Shu, and suddenly felt very aggrieved in her heart, tears fell down, and she cried silently for a while before burning the letter.
His mother actually asked herself not to pursue it any further, did her mother think that she had lost her first child for this matter, and she didn't comfort herself but still asked herself to be patient, as a princess, she didn't have the right to dispose of people at all? What kind of princess is that, the mother concubine doesn't think about her daughter at all. It chilled her heart.
Princess Hening is not a stupid person, although she is angry that Concubine Shu does not stand up for herself, she knows that her father will not be able to make decisions for herself for this sesame mung bean big thing. What's more, even if you manage it, how to punish it is also a problem, and you are weak in the prime minister's house. It's better not to touch the prime minister's moldy head, and when there is a reliable person around her in the past few days, she can toss as much as she wants, and see who dares to stop this time.
Princess Hening figured it out herself, and nodded under Ouyang Lin's soft words and promised that this matter would be handled by the prime minister, and as for the result, it would not be to her liking.
After Zuo Zhen learned that the matter was handled by the Prime Minister, she knew that the matter was wasted. It must be taken lightly and shown to people outside, but in fact, it is just like when I was at the beginning, I don't know.
Zuo Zhen was unwilling to stand up at this time, so she had to swallow this breath in order to come to the future, anyway, she wanted to let the people in this mansion who looked down on her get the punishment they deserved.
"Ma'am. The saint really values the lord of the county. "Mother Wang inquired about the rumors outside and what happened, and came back to tell Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu frowned, her face was incredulous, and she murmured, "How is this possible, this is impossible." How can you say that your own daughter is not as good as others. â
"Madam, I heard from the people outside, the saint thinks very much of the county lord, this time he actually supports the county lord, and in the future, this mansion will ...... "Wang Ma didn't dare to think about it anymore, once the county lord and Lu were respected, with the emperor's love for the county lord, and it was possible to enter the palace to seal the concubine, the prime minister's mansion would have to rely on the county lord who was the mother in the future.
Aunt Liu has the same idea as Wang Ma, but she doesn't dare to admit the fact that she is determined, she is afraid of the revenge of the cheap girl, once she has a concubine, wouldn't she be higher than herself, not her own daughter, in the future, when she meets in the future, she will have to look at her face.
"It's too early to say anything." Aunt Liu persuaded herself not to think too much, what had not yet been done, the more she thought about it, the more chaotic her heart became.
"Madame, the Lord is reasonable." Mother Wang followed Aunt Liu's intention to pick up the conversation.
"Even if the cheap girl enters the palace, there are so many maidens in the palace, how can he show off his power as a little girl." Aunt Liu still expects the cheap girl to go to the palace and be tortured by those concubines in the palace, and she will not have to turn back to her mother's house when the time comes.
Mother Wang didn't dare to refute Aunt Liu's words, she guessed what Aunt Liu was thinking, but unfortunately Aunt Liu forgot a little, with the emperor's love for the lord of Zunyi, it is impossible to say that as soon as someone enters the palace, she will be crowned a concubine, and even more so a queen, although it is just a guess, but maybe it will come true.
"Madam, do you want to send a letter over there?" Mother Wang didn't care about Ouyang Yun for a long time, so she just took the opportunity to ask if the second miss was pregnant, and seeing that the New Year was coming in a few months, how could there be movement on the second miss's side, and Aunt Liu didn't expect the second miss to enjoy the blessings for the rest of her life.
After being reminded by Wang's mother, Aunt Liu no longer thought about what she didn't have, her face softened, she drank a cup of tea and said: "Ask if the silver ticket I sent someone last time is enough, but I am pregnant, whether the medicine is delicious, the prince's mansion is not as good as the family, up and down need to be dotted, and the silver money of the reward is more than the concubine, and if there is no loss, I am afraid of being laughed at by the subordinates, how long has it been, why don't you even send a letter back." â
As soon as she mentioned her daughter Aunt Liu, she was even more anxious, and she blamed herself for being disturbed by the princess who married in, and a lot of things happened one after another, so she put her daughter's affairs aside and didn't care about her daughter well.
"Madame, don't be anxious, the slave maid will go to the prince's mansion to see what the young lady needs, so she can be prepared, as for the child's affairs, I think the grandmother next to the young lady will watch and act."
"Yes, there is a grandmother." Aunt Liu wiped her cold sweat and said, "Look, I'm in a hurry, I forgot everything." â
