Chapter 204: On the Technique of Nonsense
Ouyang Yanran, as an old minister of the two dynasties, has experienced ups and downs, and he is a veteran person, but he is more than a step better than the Duke of Yiguo.
This sounds like it is for the sake of the Empress Dowager Yuan, but in fact, it is a euphemism that Chun Jia Qiangang is arbitrary, lest the Son of Heaven be soft-hearted at this time and wait until the Empress Dowager...... Empress Dowager Yuan is not a stupid white sweet, will she be willing to admit this crime? Don't make any more turmoil when the time comes.
Is it difficult that the face of the court this year is not enough?
"......" Chunjia was really hesitant when he heard this.
Ouyang Yanran made persistent efforts and persuaded: "Your Majesty, besides, this matter is now known to the government and the opposition, if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, if it drags it on, I am afraid that it will also hinder the reputation of the Empress Dowager?" ”
stole beams and changed pillars, or used the baby boy to pretend to be the identity of the princess, and arranged to raise it to the queen's knees...... When the court announced that the eighth prince was indeed the emperor's heir, the matter would be over?
Since I heard the news that the farmers went to the palace to sue the royal court, these days, what speculation and what rumors are not?
Empress Dowager Yuan, it was suspected early in the morning.
After all, as the biggest backer of the Yuan family, how could she be completely out of touch with things related to the Yuan family?
What's more, there may be someone here who is deliberately fueling the trouble......
In short, the courtiers didn't want Chunjia to be soft-hearted, so they had to deal with this matter as soon as possible.
After all, there is more trouble in front of them than this one at the moment.
Where is there so much effort to grind here?
The most important thing is that these important ministers don't have a very good impression of the Empress Dowager Yuan, they think that whether it is the Empress Dowager Yuan or the Empress Dowager Qu, since they are all elders of the line of King Fuyang, and they are not the wives and concubines of filial piety, why do they keep living in the palace and not leaving? The king of Fuyang has set up an heir! If these two people know the rules, they should go back to Fuyang County to live, instead of messing around with the concubines in the palace!
Now that there is such a big mistake, to be honest, it is really Chunjia's maintenance and filial piety to the Empress Dowager Yuan over the years, which made the important ministers acquiesce to take the Empress Dowager Yuan out first.
Otherwise, she is the first to bear the brunt and be the most suspicious now!
"What do you think Aiqing should do?" Chunjia's face sank like water, his mind was spinning, and after a moment, he asked in a deep voice.
Ouyang Yanran said calmly: "This kind of crime, it is okay to take the lord and punish the clan!" ”
Yiguo Gong looked at Chunjia's expression, thought for a while, and said tentatively: "If Your Majesty has mercy, will the net be opened?" ”
It was rare for him to flatter the Son of Heaven once, but he had no other thoughts, he simply felt that Chunjia had worked hard enough in the past two days.
There are also a lot of moths in the harem.
Although a number of courtiers were unlucky, and the rest were also worried, but the worst was undoubtedly the emperor.
"How can such a big thing be opened?" It was only before the words fell that Ouyang Yanran vetoed, and Zhengse said, "Your Majesty has said it, and the matter is very serious...... If this favoritism and connivance in the past, then who will fear the heavenly family in the future? In the opinion of the ministers, not only can they not open the net, but they should be dealt with seriously and set an example! ”
Ouyang Yanran was accustomed to figuring out Chunjia's intentions, and Yi Guogong and the others were a little stunned when they saw this.
After all, everyone can see that the Son of Heaven does not suspect the Empress Dowager Yuan, but he can't bear to fall into the face of the Empress Dowager, and even with it, he can't bear the Yuan family.
In this case, they tacitly avoided the Empress Dowager of Loving Mother, and only discussed Concubine Yuan Xian and Xingningbo Mansion, although they took a step back, but they also cut through the chaos quickly.
Ouyang Yanran said this at this time...... If the emperor can't make up his mind, won't this still be delayed?
"Your Majesty, it is not trivial to confuse the bloodline, this is no longer a matter of Your Majesty's family, it is related to the foundation of the ancestors of the Gongxiang clan." Ouyang Yanran ignored the gaze of Yiguo Gong, and said to Chunjia with herself, "How can you downplay the past because of Your Majesty's selfishness?" Even if it's not a heavenly family, an ordinary family, something similar happens, it doesn't mean that you can just deal with it. ”
Hearing that Yiguo Gong was still thoughtful, Yin Qu reacted a little and seconded: "Your Majesty, the male heir that Concubine Yuan Xian brought back to the palace to pretend to be the prince, and even sent to the queen's knees through the Empress Dowager through her mother, is the blood of the Yuan family!" This point alone shows that Xingningbo Mansion is crazy! Your Majesty has always treated Bofu well, and they are so kind to take revenge, and they don't know how many illegal things they have done in private, and they have failed the emperor's grace! ”
Although the other courtiers didn't fully understand it, it didn't matter, Ouyang Yanran and Yin Qu both spoke, and then said that it would not be wrong in general!
Even if it's wrong, these two are the first to be unlucky.
The honest Wing Guogong was once again reduced to the last to speak: "...... Minister...... Seconded. ”
He was a little helpless, a little aggrieved, and a little resentful glanced at Ouyang Yanran.
It's good that after so many years of being a minister with the court, the relationship is okay.
You have an idea, but remind me!
Every time I see me fall so far behind, the nice words have been said by you, I ...... I'm also under a lot of pressure, okay!
However, Ouyang Yanran had no time to pay attention to him at the moment, but he took the lead in kneeling on the ground, asking Chunjia to plan for the society and the clan, and also to prevent the Empress Dowager from being suspected of being involved.
At this point, no matter how stupid the courtier is, he understands that Chunjia actually didn't want to let go of the Yuan family.
The reason for the hesitation is just a posturing, and it is likely to be done for the Empress Dowager to see.
At this time, old ministers like Ouyang Yanran stood up and took a firm stance and resolutely demanded that he not be taken lightly, but instead catered to the holy will.
Sure enough, Chunjia was "forced" by a group of courtiers to kneel for a while, tried to argue a few words, and after being rejected by Ouyang Yanran with reason, he finally sighed and said quite "helplessly": "In that case, I ...... Naturally, I don't dare to break the national law and family rules because of my own selfishness! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers hurriedly bowed their heads.
The Son of Heaven called out for peace, and then considered with them, how to deal with Xingningbo Mansion?
Although there is no one in an important position in the Yuan family now, after all, it is the queen mother's family, and she has been Chunjia's cousin for more than ten years.
Especially the matter of the Eighth Prince was pressed, and at this time, the Yuan family was moved, wouldn't there be three hundred taels of silver here?
"Your Majesty." Ouyang Yanran then proposed to follow the example of the Ji family and find other reasons to take care of this family, but there is a drawback to doing so, that is, the Ji family has already done it once, and if there are similar methods at this time, there are always some smart people in the world, and maybe they will see the truth. And it's slow, too...... The Ji family was ruining their reputation first, and it was not easy to completely veto the mourning honors that were given to the Ji family in a year and a half?
Seeing Chunjia groaning, the courtiers also helped to meditate, and at this time Yin Qu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that the capsizing of the boat on which the two queen mothers and the twelve princes were riding was thoroughly investigated by Your Majesty and the Queen Mother herself, but I don't know, but now I have eyebrows?" ”
Several of his colleagues frowned at him when they heard this.
I think this guy is too ignorant.
The Eighth Emperor has not finished this matter, and you are going to stimulate the emperor?
Are you afraid that we will be too relaxed these days?
Chunjia listened, his expression turned cold, and he said lightly: "There is some news...... What's wrong? ”
"Your Majesty, I don't know if this matter is related to Xingningbo Mansion?" Who knew that Yin Qu squinted slightly, but said, "After all, it was Xing Ningbo who caused this matter to the temple in the first place!" As we all know, the Empress Dowager is very strict with the Yuan family. If the Yuan family's theft of dragons and phoenixes is known to the Empress Dowager of Loving Mother, the Empress Dowager of Loving Mother will definitely not be spared! Although Xing Ningbo is the brother of the Empress Dowager of the Mother of Love, is it possible that the life experience of the Eighth Prince was inadvertently noticed by the Queen Mother of the Mother of Love...... Xingningbo was afraid of the consequences, so he took advantage of the palace change to poison the Empress Dowager? ”
"As for the Queen Mother and the Twelve Princes, it was because they happened to be in the same boat with the Queen Mother at that time, and they were injured by mistake?"
In the imperial study, the monarch and the minister were speechless for a while.
This is pure nonsense......
After all, don't say anything else, just say that Xingningbo Mansion has the ability to reach out to the Taiye Pool to harm people?
What's more, the eighth prince was sent to the queen to raise him early in the morning under the arrangement of the empress dowager, and after that, the empress dowager basically never saw this grandson. In this case, how could she find out that there was something wrong with the Eighth Prince's background? This is the queen found out about the same!
But......
Ouyang Yanran and the other courtiers looked at Yin Qu with a little strange eyes, this old horseman ...... It's a real calf protector!
For the seven princes in the hands of the concubine, it is really a fight!
These words, word by word, seem to excuse the Empress Dowager of Loving Mother, and the most clever thing is to cater to the idea that the emperor wants to protect the Empress Dowager Yuan but does not want to protect the Yuan family very much.
Very likely to be accepted by the emperor.
Of course, afterwards, it is not small that the Empress Dowager Yuan will be hated.
Or that he provoked the Empress Dowager Yuan!
“…… I'll look into it. The Son of Heaven pondered for a moment, looked at Yin Qu deeply, and said lightly, "If there is nothing to do, you should step back first, and I will think about it." ”
Seeing this, no matter what they thought in their hearts, the ministers were busy retiring.
When they were all gone, the emperor leaned on the imperial throne and overlooked the spacious imperial study, and after a while, he sighed softly and asked, "How are the two queen mothers doing now?" ”
The two queen mothers are still recuperating now.
At least that's what it's said from the outside.
Chunjia thought about it again and again, and finally went to see the Empress Dowager Yuan.
Empress Dowager Yuan said that she had just woken up from her slumber for a while, and her pale face looked very weak.
She seemed to be in poor spirits, and her voice was clearly lacking in qi.
"The queen mother is good to give birth to, and there are children in other things." Seeing this, Chunjia was relieved, looked at her and closed her eyes, and then retired.
After he left, Empress Dowager Yuan immediately opened her eyes, and her eyes were complicated: "I'm afraid that the Yuan family won't be able to survive this catastrophe." ”
Dipping Liu Qiang smiled: "Your Majesty hasn't forgotten to visit you at this time, how can it be?" ”
"If he doesn't come, there's still a little hope, why do you think he came?" Empress Dowager Yuan sighed faintly, "He, he still thinks about some old feelings, but that's it." Therefore, before making a decision, he couldn't bear it, came to see the mourning family, accompanied the mourning family, and did his filial piety, regardless of whether the mourning family appreciated it or not, at least his own heart was much more comfortable. ”
"Don't be like this, Your Majesty always remembers you in your heart."
Empress Dowager Yuan said: "That's it...... The mourning family can't control him now, even if he tries his best, he may not be willing to listen...... If the Yuan family collapses, it will collapse, the mourning family is not dead, and the emperor will not be destroyed...... For the rest, if you want to see the mourning family in two days, you give the mourning family back, let them pack up their things, go back to Fuyang County, and don't come out again in the future. Providence The Yuan family can only be the blessing of a famous family in the county, but why force it? ”
She was ready to accept the bad result here, but she didn't expect that when the holy decree came down, it would be even worse than expected.
According to Yin Qu's proposal, Chunjia directly buckled the overturned pot on the heads of Xingningbo and his wife, saying that the couple was mad, because they were not knowledgeable, and repeatedly asked the Queen Mother for official titles, but they were rejected by the fair and selfless Queen Mother.
And because none of them died, Xingningbo and his wife were so frightened that they didn't stop doing it and pulled the concubine as a shield!
This series of operations is not a family punishment, but the emperor's grace is immense.
Therefore, Chunjia also showed his benevolence very generously: depriving the Yuan family of the title, degrading the family to the common people, Xingningbo and his wife and the prince and other clansmen who were mixed or suspected of mixing with Yuan Xianfei to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix were all beheaded, and the others, regardless of men, women and children, were exiled to the frontier!
And all the properties of Xingningbo Mansion were confiscated and handed over to the two queen mothers and the twelve princes as a shock!
Even the Yuan daughter in the palace was also affected, Concubine An was demoted back to Jieyu, the late virtuous concubine, stripped of all the grief, and even her position before her death was demoted, and she was directly reduced to the penultimate Fengyi!
The government and the opposition are shocked!
