Chapter 232: Another Speculation
The rumors of ghosts and gods in the court were circulated, but they did not attract much attention at first.
After all, it is like a cloud and a wind, and at a glance you know that it is Concubine Jing's counterattack.
And the whispers really believed that the queen was ruthless and stepped on the three younger sisters to sit firmly in the back seat, most of them were humble, and they didn't dare to do anything to the middle palace.
In addition, the old lady Gu specially sent someone into the palace to warn the queen that she must be stable at such a time, more things are better than less, and when you should count on Chunjia, you must count on Chunjia.
Even if the Gu family was a little cautious, they never thought of betraying the dynasty and betraying the emperor, as long as they were sure of this, they were framed and they couldn't wash away their grievances, it didn't matter, and the emperor was in the background.
Chun Jia carefully selected them to be his descendants, and it is unlikely that he will find a more suitable one for the time being, and he will not give up the Gu family and Gu Zhen easily.
Therefore, even if Gu Zhen was very aggrieved, she still endured no movement, and she didn't know that the people below had passed her on as a vicious queen who was familiar with witchcraft, and even if she couldn't give birth, she was selectively forgotten about the three corpse insects, but she did too much evil and practiced evil arts, and she was too damned......
But the emperor did not immediately shelter Gu Zhen.
As Yun Fenghuang said, Chunjia's attention is now on the previous dynasty.
Compared to the fact that the Dingbei soldiers were trained to be dead, and the master was not Chunjia himself, these battles in the palace were simply not worth mentioning!
That day the pilgrimage ended in a hurry, but it was only the great pilgrimage that ended.
After the idlers who were not enough to be favored by the emperor were forced to disperse, Chunjia's courtiers, together with the three courtiers concerned, gathered in the imperial study again.
After some confrontation, the monarch determined that it was true that Meng's Luo clan was attacked by the dead soldiers last night, and it was also true that the dead soldiers had traces of the Dingbei Army, but they killed people and set fire to them...... That is, in order to show off the identity of the bitter master and create public opinion pressure, the two companies directed and acted themselves.
Of course, these two heads of the family refused to admit it directly, only saying that it was because of these dead soldiers, and at night, a large family panicked, causing the water to go, and in the panic, they thought it was the gangsters.
Anyway, they didn't frame them, they did get attacked, and they also had losses.
As for Old Lady Gu, of course, she tried her best to refute, saying that there is absolutely no such thing, and the Gu family is not all brainless, there are really such dead soldiers, as for using it in the imperial capital?
Not to mention Meng, it is no secret that Luo's sister-in-law, Luo Tieyi, has been in the Dingbei Army for many years...... What is the difference between Gu and self-isolation from the imperial court?
"It's the so-called true and false and false, maybe Gu Shi thinks that he can get out of it after doing this?" The head of the Meng family said in a cold voice, "After all, the Dingbei Army has been in charge of Zhao Wubo all these years, except for the Gu family, who else can collect its sergeants, train them to become dead soldiers, and secretly sneak into the imperial capital to plot against our family?" ”
In other words, the Gu family either has ill intentions, trains the soldiers raised by the state to become private dead soldiers, and arranges them to enter the imperial capital, which can be described as audacious and reckless! Or, or Zhao Wubo's royal majesty was not strict, and his subordinates were taken to be dead soldiers and entered the imperial capital, he didn't know anything???
Gu Fangshu is not the Marquis of Jingning who just went to the Northland, he was in charge of the Dingbei Army when he was Xiaozong, and he didn't know about such a big thing...... The first possibility is that he really doesn't know, which means that this border commander with many reputations is pure waste; The second one is even more unfavorable to the Gu family, Gu Fangshu knows, but he doesn't know, what does this mean?
Old lady Gu was drenched in cold sweat on her forehead, but Chun Jia didn't bother to pay attention to the lawsuit between them at all, and only discussed with Ouyang Yanran, Yi Guogong, Yin Qu, and Deng Chengzhai in a low voice, where did these dead soldiers come from, and why did they attack the Meng clan and the Luo family at night so that they were directly exposed to the emperor?
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is too coincidental, but it seems that he is rushing to let the Meng clan Luo clan deal with the Gu clan." Ouyang Yanran thought for a moment and whispered, "In this way, it seems that someone wants the temple to be in chaos." ”
He said it tactfully, but Yi Guogong was not, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, this matter seems to be a battle between the Meng clan Luo clan and the Gu clan, but in fact, in the final analysis, I am afraid it is going to the harem!" ”
In other words, it was for the queen from the Gu family and the concubine under the queen's knees!
Chunjia frowned slightly, the inference of these two courtiers was similar to his guess.
If it was just a battle between the Meng clan, the Luo clan, and the Gu clan, it would actually be a good thing for the emperor.
After all, these are all famous families, and the Gu family has no successor, but the Meng clan and the Luo clan are not.
What the emperor is most afraid of is that these big families join forces, as long as the intrigue between these families is within a certain extent, it will not damage the vitality foundation of the national dynasty...... In fact, any sober-minded emperor would like them to fight as hard as possible.
But if you go to the back, that's not going to work.
Gu Zhen is not Ji Lingzi or Yun Fenglian, this kind of targeting her is unbearable at all.
When the time comes, Chunjia will have to be dragged to protect her, the key is that the two normal sons-in-law, the tenth prince and the twelfth prince, are still young.
For such a big child, if he says something unpleasant, even if no one harms him and lets them grow up on their own, they may not be able to grow up peacefully.
Coupled with the mediocre qualifications of the queen mother, won't Chunjia have to take care of Gu Zhen and these two children at that time?
Is he busy?
Therefore, the emperor absolutely could not tolerate such calculations.
"What do you Aiqing have in mind?" After a moment of silence, Chunjia asked slowly.
Ouyang Yanran wanted to speak and stopped, and Yiguo Gong spoke quickly again: "Your Majesty, if you want to say who is most likely to target the queen in the palace now, it is none other than the concubine!" ”
Chunjia frowned when she heard this, and said, "The concubine is from a humble background, how can she do this?" ”
"Although the concubine is from a humble background, her family lives in the north." Yi Guogong reminded, "Over the years, the country has been generally peaceful, but the Dingbei Army is stationed on the frontier and has conflicts with Wei Su from time to time, and many disabled soldiers are forced to leave the army every year. Xie Shi got the moon first in the northland near the water, collected one or two, and thought that the dead man was dead after diagnosis and treatment, which may not be impossible! ”
He felt that he was saving face for the emperor, and he didn't mention that Qi Jiulu, who had chased the concubine to the imperial capital, was still an official in the Dingbei Army.
Everyone came here when they were teenagers, and it is not clear that this kind of childhood sweetheart and two little people have no suspicions, if the concubine, no, there is no need for the concubine to speak in person, someone in the Xie family is under the banner of the concubine, asking Qi Jiulu to be accommodating and get rid of a few elite soldiers, then what else can be the problem?
Therefore, the soldiers of the North are designated as dead soldiers...... Yi Guogong felt that he could hammer the concubine.
If this were another concubine, Chunjia would also agree that someone should be brought over for interrogation. Ke Guifei...... It's not just because she is Chunjia's sincere favorite concubine, but the key is that this concubine's temper is really not very good. Earlier, there had been several troubles because of the emperor's suspicions, but now Chunjia has no ironclad evidence, and Rushan does not dare to show the slightest suspicion.
At this moment, he was silent, and said lightly: "The concubine's premature birth was very dangerous before, if I hadn't arrived in time, I was afraid that everyone would have to ...... Now the concubine is still in confinement, but where does she have the heart to take care of the rest? Let's wait and then discuss. ”
Ouyang Yanran was not surprised by this result, just as Yun Fenghuang occasionally felt desperate about whether he could defeat Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Gu, in fact, in the eyes of others, even in the eyes of important ministers like Ouyang Yanran, it was also a difficult thing for them to feel hopeless from time to time.
The emperor's maintenance of the concubine is infiltrated in his bones day after day.
This is still the case of Yun Fenghuang himself not present, if he is present, cry a few words, I can't say that Chunjia will turn around and dump their courtiers......
But Ouyang Yanran was calm and calm, but Yi Guogong was not.
Yun Zhao said extremely straightforwardly: "Then please forgive the minister for being stupid, except for the concubine, the minister can't think of anyone who needs to have the ability to murder the concubine in such a way!" ”
Chun Jia was speechless for a moment when he choked on him, and he didn't want to blame the important ministers for this, so he had to pretend that he didn't hear it, and Wen Yan asked Ouyang Yanran, Yin Qu and others.
"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea." Seeing this, Yin Qu sneered slightly, and put forward another opinion, "As we all know, the concubine Niangniang has always been anxious...... His Royal Highness King Qin and Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing are the eldest son and eldest daughter of His Majesty, and they have always been favored by the emperor! The two highnesses are still young now, and they can't help but be a little high-spirited...... Is it possible that someone used this to deliberately sow discord between the palace and the family, and even provoke harmony and trust between the flesh and blood of the heavenly family? After all, the death of the county lord of Yushan before ......"
The monarchs and ministers were stunned when they heard this.
Indeed, the death of the county lord of Yushan...... It was once suspected that it was a debt passed down from the murder of the Divine Sect.
There are enemies hidden in the dark, specifically targeting the bloodline of the Divine Sect.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the little lord was deliberately murdered and killed.
Then take this opportunity to provoke the monarch and ministers to suspect the concubine and cause changes in the palace...... It makes sense.
In particular, Yin Qu mentioned King Qin and Zhaoqing, these two imperial heirs are eight years old and can remember things clearly. Although they are not the biological flesh and blood of the concubine, they have been raised by the concubine since they landed, and it is rumored that they have always been favored by the concubine. If the concubine falls at this time, even if the emperor chooses another adoptive mother for them, now in the palace, high-ranking concubines, including the queen, no one can provide them with the capital to be the daughter of the concubine.
And even if there is, the concubines already have their own flesh and blood or children raised by themselves since childhood, how can they continue to coax them like the concubines?
At that time, whether these two children are out of their feelings for Yun Fenghuan or out of the gap between their own situation, it will be difficult not to resent.
In this way, between the flesh and blood of the heavenly family, and even between Chunjia and their father-son and daughter-daughter relationship, it is indispensable to fall into the mustard.
This mustard may be hidden and suppressed for a lifetime......
But if someone really designed it, it must be guided out at a critical moment in the future to create a tragedy for the Gongxiang clan.
"Humph!" The monarch was thinking about this possibility and what evidence could be found in this series of things, but the Duke of Yiguo was displeased and said disdainfully, "Yin Qu, for the sake of the Seventh Prince, you are too rushed to the Xuanqing Palace!" It's okay to do it usually! At such a time, the Son of Heaven is serious about the matter, and you don't forget to excuse the concubine, are you a courtier of His Majesty's trust, or a lackey of the concubine? ! ”
Yin Qu's eyelids twitched, and he said hesitantly: "What? Is Yi Guogong sure that there is no such possibility? So dare to ask Guogong, the death of the county lord of Yushan, do you have clear evidence to prove that there is no one hiding behind the scenes and plotting to kill the blood of the Heavenly Family?! Moreover, His Majesty ordered us to wait for the deliberations to speak freely and express our opinions. Now this official is just at the behest of His Majesty, based on what has happened in the past two years, he has put forward an idea, and His Majesty has not vetoed it, and the Duke of the Kingdom has made such slanderous remarks just because this official did not echo your attack on the concubine, is it too shameful, right? How? After Concubine Min was favored, her heart was towards the Xie family, and she didn't bring you Yun family, although it was understandable for the prince to feel aggrieved, but why did he use this official to vent? ! ”
"Could it be that you don't like the concubine in your heart, and no one is allowed to say a fair word for the concubine from now on?"
He is not a generous character, otherwise he would not have run to Chunjia to beg for the law because Yun Fenghuang cleaned up his daughter, and at this moment he unceremoniously mentioned, "The suicide note left by Aiyun Jieyu before had said that Mrs. Zun was not, it can be seen that Concubine Min is excusable even if she is not towards the Yun family!" After all, Guogong's own flesh and blood are still full of hatred for Guogong's mansion, let alone the heir of the younger brother of the Guogong clan? The father and mother of the concubine have not confided their dissatisfaction, why is the prince here to be angry? ! ”
Yiguo Gong consciously was loyal to the country, and when he heard this, he was very angry: "You ——!!! ”
