Chapter 213
"Gagged her. The speed update is waiting for you () Baidu search can be done! The more angry the emperor became, the calmer he became, and he looked as if he was as usual, if his dragon robe hadn't trembled slightly, "Old Seven, your daughter-in-law is sick and evil, you take it back, and then I will tell the imperial doctor to go over and see a doctor." ”
Xiao Zhan responded: "Yes." ”
Prince and Princess Cheng were gagged and struggled violently, with a look of horror in her eyes that was about to disappear,—— she was not sick! The imperial doctor sent by the emperor himself was not to treat the disease, but to urge him!
Xiao Duo kept standing by and looking at his nose and heart, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"I'm tired, you all go back." The emperor was indeed tired, and when his sons were gone, he was alone in the wide dragon chair, silent. The Qin family had long been out of her mind, because she was jealous, and she actually joined forces with Concubine Jiang in the old sixth mansion to design the Feng family to destroy her reputation. There are too many fights among women in the harem, and I am used to it, and I didn't deal with the Qin family for the sake of the overall situation, but I don't want her to still be unrepentant!
If it was just to take over the heir, it would be enough to pour dirty water on Prince Duan's mansion, and he actually murdered Lao Qi's only son! was caught by someone, and he didn't know that the strong man of the Dao broke his wrist to cover up for the Qin family, and he was ashamed of his venerable, and he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he said everything, but ......, the Qin family didn't seem to be lying.
The emperor drove to Yongshou Palace, and there was originally a lot of anger, but looking at his mother, who was very old, his anger finally turned into a sigh, "Queen Mother, the seventh daughter-in-law is sick and will not be better." ”
Empress Dowager Qin's health has not been very good in the past two years, after all, she is old, and she looks a little thinner. Hearing the emperor's words, he struggled to sit up suddenly, "Emperor, what do you mean by this?" ”
The Emperor placed the veil wrapped in "poisonous weeds" on the table and opened it, "Look at this. ”
"This is ......" No wonder the Empress Dowager Qin didn't know, when she first heard this home remedy, she had only seen grass seeds, not what they looked like, and when she saw the small fruit on it clearly with her old eyes, her body shook, this ......, where did the emperor get it?
"The seventh daughter-in-law said that you gave her this thing, and you asked her to make it." The Emperor's voice was inaudible.
"Nonsense!" Empress Dowager Qin didn't understand, what step went wrong? This kind of weed is not amazing, the horns are bad, and it will sprout wherever you throw it, how can it be discovered? Concubine Fan, a young lady who stays at home, how does she know these wild things? Besides, even if you know the way, you can't confirm that it was the seventh daughter-in-law who did it.
But these doubts can't be asked, and when they are asked, they will be revealed.
The emperor didn't have the patience to dwell on these anymore, and said lightly: "Queen Mother, Brother Liang is your own grandson." ”
Empress Dowager Qin's face turned pale suddenly, "The mourning family doesn't understand what the emperor is talking about." ”
The emperor feels tired, if the seventh Xiao Zhan ascends the throne, he is not the biological son of Concubine De, but I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the drag, and it will be a matter of time before he turns against the Qin family! Just like at the beginning, he was deeply disgusted with being governed by the Fan family, but the Fan family still gave him help and helped to slowly stabilize the situation.
And Lao Qi, once he ascends the throne, the Qin family will not be able to help him at all, he will only keep asking for it, and keep dragging his feet arrogantly, what will happen to the Qin family at that time? How could the Feng family, the Mu family, and the Fan family give up? How will Lao Qi face a situation that can't be suppressed?
Fuzheng Fan side concubine? No, no, if the concubine doesn't go on the stage, she can't talk about it, and the Fan family can't take the third room.
In imperial arts, balance is the most important.
Therefore, it is necessary for the courtiers to compete for their own interests, and the emperor to uphold justice, so that it can be balanced.
The emperor thought of the twelve princes, and it was not difficult to guess what Concubine Feng was thinking.
But whether it is out of consideration for the society of the country or selfishness, he does not want a Queen Mother Feng to be born in a hundred years, and there will be a situation where the power of the Feng family is tilted towards the government and the opposition. And in the future, the prince will choose a capable prince who has a certain amount of power, at least able to maneuver among the ministers, so the underage prince doesn't need to think about it-
They are not suitable for mother and son.
As for Lao Qi, he is already anxious to see him as a prince.
The emperor thought of the forbearant sixth prince, whose biological mother Jiang Gongfei was not from an obvious background, and was not close to her son, so there would be no curtain to listen to politics in the future, let alone the queen mother's chaos of holding the emperor hostage. Then the six princes and the Feng family have in-laws, and the Mu family also have in-laws, once he ascends the throne, these two families have no choice to help and assist for their own interests, but they compete with each other. As for the Fan family and other officials, they will definitely not watch the Feng family snatch all the benefits, they will also compete, everyone will contain each other, and the Son of Heaven will be able to grasp the delicate balance in the future and not fall.
The most important thing is that the sixth child will never tolerate the Feng family's dominance.
From careful observation in the past few years, we know that his forbearance, maneuvering, and moving forward in the wind and waves with ease,—— everyone must have selfishness, but it is enough for him to take care of the overall situation.
"Your Majesty ......" Empress Dowager Qin saw that her son was silent for a long time, a little panicked, and began to play the family card, "Seeing that the mourning family will not live for a few years, when the mourning family leaves, the Qin family will ......"
"Queen Mother!" The emperor said categorically: "My son's surname is Xiao, not Qin!" ”
It's okay to take care of the glory and wealth of the Qin family, but there is absolutely no reason to give up the Xiao family's country, otherwise in the future, after a hundred years, it will be difficult to see the ancestors of the Xiao family's royal family when they go underground!
******
Prince Cheng was "sick", and the emperor sent a doctor to treat her, but she didn't see much effect, but as soon as she fell ill, Brother Liang'er's cough slowly improved. At this moment, there is no need for Feng Luan to spread rumors, and it is enough for people to talk about it after dinner.
Originally, my nephew was sick, and it would be far-fetched to say that my aunt's eight characters did not match. Now that the princess is sick, Brother Liang is fine, there are some twists and turns in it, can't you guess it? When everyone thinks of the fiery battle for the heir, it is easier to understand that Prince Cheng wants to pour sewage on Prince Duan's mansion, and some people even speculate whether it is Xiao Zhan's means,—— tiger poison is still not eating children, it is too ruthless.
After this heated discussion passed, the capital passed quietly for a while.
Prince Duan's Mansion is too, because there is only one activity left in the mansion, Feng Luan simply excused herself from asking for peace, and lived a life of husband and son every day. Xiao Duo seemed to calm down suddenly, except for the court and the military department, every day there was only the study and the lotus wind left, as if he was not interested in the things next to him.
Mrs. Miao also fantasized about being favored again, but ......, it was obviously impossible. Think about the ending of Mu Zhiwei and Concubine Jiang again, I can have a daughter by my side, and I am not controlled by my mother, in fact, my small life in Fucui Pavilion is not bad, but I just think it is a ......, and I don't have a husband.
In short, the palace is at peace.
When the plum blossoms bloomed, there was a big case in the court. At the beginning, it was found that a household was greedy for ink and bribery, and the case was not big, but after checking again and again, it was like touching a melon along a vine, and a lot of officials of all sizes were involved, and it suddenly became a big case.
Speaking of which, Xiao Duo did a good job of strictly restraining his subordinates and chess pieces.
This time, in the ink corruption case, only two small chess pieces that were not very important were implicated. At this moment, of course, he picked himself up first, and then discarded the two small chess pieces, and he was light.
And Xiao Zhan is much more troublesome, one is that he is younger, and his actions are inevitably a little rash; Second, the court supported him as the crown prince with great momentum, and it was inevitable that some people who drilled the camp climbed up, although he didn't like it, but he didn't easily offend people and refused to go out, so there was a relationship between people and people.
Especially the Qin family, it was even more soft to receive things that those who came.
Well, more than a dozen corrupt officials were found out, either with Prince Cheng's mansion, or with the Qin family,—— Xiao Zhan was suddenly in a dilemma.
It's too hard to keep these people; If they don't protect it, they will inevitably chill the people who follow them, and maybe they will jump off the wall in a hurry, climb and bite for a while, and then drag themselves into the water.
Therefore, it is really difficult to sleep and eat these days, and I can't sleep at night.
When talking to the staff, he couldn't suppress a trace of anger, "What should I do?" If all these people are eliminated, then half of my efforts in the past few years will be in vain! ”
Seeing that his father is getting old and sick day by day, if he doesn't arrange it, it will be too late.
Xiao Zhan was a little angry, "How can this official have clean people and clean hands?" It's just ...... that "but his own people have fallen into it a lot, but the sixth brother has suffered very little." Suddenly, his heart froze, thinking that when he was praised highly, when the sixth brother got the epidemic and went to Huo Lian, he had already secretly arranged it, right? Which people can stay and which people can't, he slowly eliminated them one by one, that's why it's so clean.
couldn't help but smile bitterly, he showed weakness, deliberately let some important positions be snatched by himself, and installed his own people, but as early as a few years, he began to prepare for today's big case-
It's all your own fault, it's too underestimating the enemy.
At this moment, Xiao Duo was in a happy mood, lying on the warm beauty couch, admiring a bottle of red plum on the windowsill, and what was better than the red plum was the beautiful woman in front of him. There are beautiful women sitting on the side, and the plum blossoms are also eclipsed, but it's a pity that ...... can't see it as clearly as before-
And there is a tendency to get worse.
The imperial doctor saw it, and couldn't explain why, and now he couldn't make a big noise, so he could only quietly send appropriate people to look for famous doctors who treated eye diseases, and it would take time to wait.
Xiao Duo's heart moved, "Ah Luan, I'll draw you a portrait." ”
"Portrait?" Feng Luan felt that he was not only more gentle, but also more poetic, "Okay." Instructed the girl to prepare paper, ink, pen, inkstone and paint, Ying Ying smiled: "Only one, don't draw me too ugly." ”
I am busy with intrigue and calculation every day, but I haven't had such leisure for a long time.
In fact, life is short, fighting for fame and fortune, fighting for power, isn't the purpose just to make one's life better? Even so, it is sweet and beautiful to steal half a day of leisure right now.
Feng Luan was a little entangled, "Do I want to change my clothes?" ”
"No, you don't." Xiao Duo's voice was like rustling snow outside the window, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "The person I want to paint is you, not clothes, everything you wear is the same." ”
If one day, I can no longer see your jade-like face, I hope that light will remain in the bottom of my heart-
The painting testifies, and the heart is the evidence.
"Come on." The girls were overjoyed, and whispered outside one by one: "The prince wants to paint the princess." Decent girls all gathered around, and those who were not old enough crowded at the door to probe their brains, "Our princess is good-looking, and her clothes are beautiful, and she must be like a fairy when she draws it." ”
Hongying stepped forward and patted a few, "Shhh, don't make any noise." ”
Feng Luan held a scroll of ancient poetry, turning page by page, the red plum around him was like a ruby, the plum blossom was like blood, the beauty was like jade, and with the handsome and heroic pen to be a painter, and his heart, this itself was a beautiful and charming picture.
Time flows in such a vein of warmth, winter goes to spring, day after day.
At first, it was just an official who fell into the water, and at the end of the year, because the festival subsided for a while, and then waited until the Shangyuan Festival passed, and the storm began again.
This morning, the emperor received a letter of impeachment against Prince Cheng Xiao Zhan, accusing him of taking bribes, enclosing good land, and shielding subordinate criminal officials, and ......, implicating the Qin family. This kind of thing, with a beginning, will become more and more intense. Just like in his previous life, how many people have Xiao Zhan been praised and how high he has been held, now once one of the people with a heart withdraws his hand, and pushes him hard, what awaits him is broken bones!
The tree is a big wind, this saying has been true since ancient times.
The Emperor's brow furrowed more and more, and he understood that the chaos in front of him could not continue.
Lao Qi is still a little anxious in the end, because he is eager to cultivate the strength to support him, and he can't help but be a little bit good and bad, unlike Lao Liu, who picks up clean, just standing by and watching the excitement, calm and relaxed. Besides, he is not worthy of the loyalty of an official,—— in his eyes, he only has the throne and power, and has no father.
That's it, you don't have to let the sixth child dream and climb the platform, and then he can't get down.
"Thoroughly!" The emperor decreed.
The courtiers who were engaged in a heated debate at the bottom quieted down, just investigate, and investigate thoroughly? This is ......, what does Prince Cheng mean if he can't eat and walk around? Why did the emperor hold Prince Cheng before? Could it be that too many officials have something to do with Prince Cheng, so they are suspected of forming a party for personal gain? The holy will is unpredictable, and everyone has their own plans in their hearts.
Xiao Duo's face was expressionless, and he only faintly sketched a smile in his heart-
It's better not to do more than to make more mistakes.
Lao Qi seems to have won a lot, the reputation of the virtuous king, and the hearts of the people, but these things are implicated in endless **, the people's hearts are insufficient, and he can't control it with his current position. Once it gets out of control, it will be counterattacked, such as this time in the ink corruption case,—— he worked hard to get several officials out, which is the evidence of his selfish business!
But he didn't make any money, and he was probably worried that he would lose the loyalty of the dependent officials.
Can't help but smile lightly, loyal? That's something that the emperor can have with it, and he forgot that he himself is just a courtier now, how can he rob his father's things.
I think that at the beginning, my father couldn't tolerate it when he saw that the crown prince Xiao Ying was in full swing, let alone the son of a palace concubine who was adopted? Seeing that a large group of officials were related to Xiao Zhan, and he was desperately fishing for people and encroaching on the truth, it was impossible for his father to have no pimples in his heart, so a thorough investigation was a punishment for Xiao Zhan's violation of filial piety!
In the past life in Ah Luan's memory, the same is true.
And what he did, in his past life and in this life, was driven by his character itself, except for Jane in the emperor's heart, everything else can be temporarily forbeared, such as the younger brother is more glorious and majestic than himself, and he has to be an official. Less than the last step, those flowers are all empty.
In the previous life, I could do well without the help of A Luan, and in this life, I would be able to prepare in advance, and there would be no problems.
In Prince Duan's mansion, there is a splendid scene of spring flowers.
In the courtyard, Feng Luan was reclining on the blue bench, with a leisurely posture, "Okay, okay?" ”
Xiao Duo left the last stroke on the drawing paper, and looked down carefully, a beauty in a purple dress and white dress had been completed, surrounded by a few strokes of ink outlining the illusory background, which looked like a dream.
He put down his pen, looked up and said, "Okay." ”
However, Xiao Zhan couldn't get better.
The emperor issued a thorough investigation order, and then sent two officials from the Criminal Department with strict personalities, asking them to check with their heads, and leave their heads if they missed one item! Vigorous, lively, like the poignant despair of bamboo blossoming, the former prince was elected as a prince, and he was deeply involved in the corruption of ink and could not pull out his feet.
Just when Xiao Zhan began to despair, and when everyone thought he was going to fall and gnaw on, things took a turn for the better-
The Emperor fainted again.
Feng Luan sighed: "The emperor fainted once before, this should be the second time, and another time, it's ......" The words at the bottom are self-evident, "Just in time for the emperor to fall ill, what will happen to Xiao Zhan, I really don't know what will happen." ”
