Because Concubine Xian was poisoned and her life was in danger, the emperor personally sat in the Xuanqing Palace, and had no time to go to court for several days, and even summoned the Imperial City Division to investigate thoroughly...... Such a big thing, of course, the former dynasty and the harem are very concerned.

Sun Yu hadn't retired from the imperial front yet, and he already knew the news of his going to tell him inside and out.

For a while, the harem was full of rumors, and they were all ready to wait for the thunder and wrath of the Son of Heaven.

It's just that there was no movement on this day, and the next day at the court meeting, the ministers were ready to bring the geese over to collect the chapter, but Chunjia came.

With a calm face, he ordered Ping's body to be flat, his eyes swept around the crowd like lightning, and he said straight to the point: "The real culprit has been found out about Concubine Xian's poisoning." ”

There was a small uproar at the bottom, and after Sun Yu's whereabouts came out yesterday, everyone guessed that the Imperial City Division should have found something to report, but they didn't expect this matter to be brought to the temple to say - but Chunjia was not a lonely person when he first came into power, since he opened his mouth, someone at the bottom stood up and asked who the real murderer was.

There are also people who are indignant and say that there are people in the palace who have committed such a poisonous hand, which is simply mad and can be punished, and it must not be spared.

Chunjia listened expressionlessly, and after a while, he asked Sun Yu to go to the hall with the evidence.

The evidence was prepared according to his intentions, and each piece pointed to Lu Chuncao, the father-in-law of the regent and the former Marquis of Qingping.

As we all know, Lu Chuncao is the inner servant of Ji Sheng, who served Emperor Xiaozong, has a deep foundation in the palace, and has the ability and power to murder the virtuous concubine who is in the sky.

He also had a reason to do so, after all, Chunjia had been communicating with the regent all this time to discuss the disposition of his righteous daughter Lu Qidao.

Lu Chuncao has a deep relationship with Lu Qidao's father and daughter, and he resents the Son of Heaven under the distressed daughter, because he does not dare or cannot kill the king, it is not impossible to take the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven Yun Fenghuan to vent his anger.

Although the group of people who supported the emperor were very surprised, they saw Chunjia's attitude, and they still stood up as soon as possible and launched an attack on Lu Chuncao - in fact, Lu Chuncao is not at the court meeting at all now, and since he was deprived of his title, he has begun to think about it behind closed doors.

Originally, Chunjia promised the regent that after a few days, he would dispose of Lu Qidao, and then find an excuse to return the title to him.

However, because of the undecided debate on the issue of Lu Qidao, the matter has been put on hold.

Everyone knows very well in their hearts that the current turbulence of everyone seems to be rushing towards Lu Chuncao, but in fact, it is the regent who is really targeted.

There was obvious anxiety and anger on the faces of the officials on the Regent's side, they didn't believe the so-called evidence in front of them at all, in their opinion, this was nothing more than a collusion between Chunjia and Concubine Xian to frame the regent.

One after another, some people stood up and argued.

As with the previous times, it was restrained at first, but gradually, the voice became louder and the wording became more and more intense...... A good court meeting gradually developed to the battlefield.

Chunjia stood tall and did not immediately go down in person, and the regent was about the same.

As the officials were involved, the atmosphere became more and more solemn and intense, and finally after the Duke of Yiguo stood up in person, the regent finally stopped being silent, strode out, and looked around at everyone with eagle-like eyes, and said hesitantly: "Concubine Xian is the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven, and she has come to favor the six palaces!" If the real culprit is not found out as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the Son of Heaven...... When the Son of Heaven told him like this, Shi Gu also thought so, so he also sent people privately to secretly investigate, but he also gained something! ”

"It's just that this murderer candidate is not the same as the conclusion of the Imperial City Envoy!"

Chunjia frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

The next moment his hunch came true: the regent also had a lot of evidence to prove that he wasn't telling his word.

It's just that the real culprit he found out was Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui, who had long been forgotten and was in the palace!

"That's!" Ouyang Yanran couldn't help but stand up and defend Minghui, "Not to mention that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is still young, it is the time of innocence, why do you want to poison Concubine Xian, just say that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has never touched the palace power, and her biological mother only went, and she is also sick in the palace until now...... Where does the opportunity come from to do something like this? ”

Most people bowed their heads slightly when they heard this, of course the identity of the eldest princess Minghui was noble, even if her biological mother Ji Sheng had such a ruined ending, it could not affect her treatment.

After all, she is the only daughter of Xiaozong, isn't it?

But whether it was when Ji Sheng was or after his death, she never held any substantive power, she was just a more favored golden branch and jade leaf.

There is no comparison with a powerful concubine like Concubine Xian, who began to assist in the six palaces not long after entering the palace.

To say that Concubine Xian harmed the eldest princess in private, how could the eldest princess harm Concubine Xian?

"Lord Ouyang, haven't you forgotten that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is naïve and young and ignorant of things, but her biological mother has murdered two generations of palace concubines." Someone from the regent's side came out to remind everyone, "When the concubine Ji Sheng went, he was in the palace, do you know if he told the eldest princess and her left and right in private anything that made the eldest princess resentful?" With the means and foundation of Ji Sheng in the palace, what can be the problem of murdering the virtuous concubine? There is no shortage of noble concubines who entered the palace when His Majesty got married, but how many escaped from the scourge of the three corpses? ”

"Even if Concubine Xian is favored, her days in the palace are short, and her background is not high, so it is not surprising that she can't prevent Ji Sheng's means!"

Ouyang Yanran snorted, and a royal history of the Imperial History Observatory came out to refute, saying that even if the eldest princess was heartbroken about the death of her biological mother, if she wanted to vent, shouldn't she find your regent palace first? How could you find Concubine Xian!

Concubine Xian is very innocent!

The fall of the Ji family or the death of the concubine Ji Sheng, which has anything to do with her?

"That's up to the Son of Heaven." The regent sneered, arched his hand towards Danqi, and said, "As far as Gu knows, the eldest princess Minghui originally liked Concubine Xian very much, and the first time Concubine Xian accompanied her to Taichu Palace, it was still brought by Princess Minghui. But later, Concubine Xian gradually became favored, but she began to alienate the eldest princess. Presumably, the eldest princess is a strange concubine who failed to intercede with Ji Sheng? But it's not a big deal. ”

"After all, Ming Hui is the blood of the first emperor, His Majesty's sister-in-law, in comparison, Concubine Xian is just a concubine from a humble background, which is more important, Your Majesty must know it."

"With the dignity of Minghui's identity, not to mention that Concubine Xian is not dead now, even if the Xuanqing Palace is dead, what is it? Could it be that Your Majesty still wants to cure the sins of filial piety for a few internal favorites? Thinking that at the beginning, the brothers Zheng Fengsen and Zheng Fengtong did such wrong things, and His Majesty tolerated them for the sake of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yun'an. ”

"Could it be that Concubine Xian is more valuable than Ji's Manmen, and Minghui is not as good as Yun'an?"

Chunjia was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, the people involved are not present, so how can it be decided?" ”

He said that this matter would not be discussed for now, and Lu Chuncao and Ming Hui would be announced to confront the court and then make a judgment.

Seeing that the regent was not flustered, but sneered slightly, Chunjia squinted his eyes and talked about other political affairs casually...... After the dissolution of the Heavenly Dynasty, he did not go to Xuanqing Palace immediately, but let the emperor go to Qingci Palace.

"Why?" Qingci Palace has already been surrounded by Chunjia's order, except for the main hall where there are still some close attendants who have been following the Empress Dowager, all the other places have been replaced, so Chunjia has been unimpeded all the way in, only encountered obstacles outside the main hall - but he did not follow the rules and regulations outside the first-class as before, but directly pushed the palace people and broke in!

Inside, the Empress Dowager was crooked on the soft couch under the west window, and she heard an elderly palace man not far away holding a scroll and reading something to her softly and slowly.

Chunjia didn't bother, and went up directly to question, "Gongxiang Ruo sent the Ji family before and after, and even hanged Ye Guogong and Haixi Hou alive on the door frame, so that the corpses were so miserable that they couldn't hide it when they were buried...... You're going to join forces with him?! Since you are sending it to the public like this, why did you pass on to the first emperor of Xiaozong in the first place?! ”

He didn't ask this angrily, but he really couldn't figure it out.

With the foundation of the three dynasties of the Ji family, the phoenix lord and the power of the government and the opposition, the empress dowager already knew the ending of the Ji family, Chunjia was not surprised, she hated herself, and he was not surprised.

The key is why the Queen Mother is willing to collude with the regent?

As for how Chunjia knew-the regent pointed the poisoning of Concubine Xian to the eldest princess Minghui, and he was not afraid of confronting him, who else could say that the eldest princess Minghui cooperated with the regent at this time, except for the queen mother?

Former Empress Ji Lingzi is not qualified for this.

After all, Minghui seems to be easy to talk to, how can she be a princess who was raised by her!

Her biological mother Ji Sheng had just died, and she died so miserably, in this case, where did Ji Lingzi and Ji Duzi sisters persuade her to cooperate with the regent, the murderer who indirectly caused Ji Sheng's tragic death?

is also the queen mother, who is the grandmother of the eldest princess Minghui, in terms of identity, generation, and blood, the eldest princess has never disobeyed her.

“…… Isn't that weird? The Empress Dowager waved her hand to stop the palace people from reading, glanced at the emperor slowly, and asked instead of answering, "That day, Concubine Xian came to ask the mourning family on your orders, and left empty-handed, shouldn't you be enlightened?" ”

Chunjia said in a deep voice: "I do want to ask Concubine Xian to come to ask for peace, and remind you that no one from the Ji family will come to reunite with you, and I also think that Concubine Xian and the regent have always been at odds. If you hate the Regent, you would be willing to give her something to send to your princess...... But you're not willing to give, and I'm not surprised. After all, in your eyes, you also have a hatred for me and Concubine Xian. ”

"But why did you choose to send it to the public?"

"Is it because he promised to protect the remnants of the Ji family, is it because he is your concubine after all, and is closer to you than me, or is it because you feel that I am more of your enemy than him?!"

The Empress Dowager held her hand and sat up slowly, looking at Chunjia with a strange gaze, and for a moment, she smiled gloomily: "The emperor has put forward all kinds of possibilities and speculations, but why don't you ask the most critical point?" That is, in the eyes of the mourning family, who is more suitable to sit on the throne if you and Gongxiang are sent? ”

She said leisurely, "Judging from the identity of a queen mother, both of them are people who are not related to the mourning family, isn't this the most important thing for the mourning family to consider?" ”

"You don't think so, because you think that the mourning family is not the kind of person who will think about the overall situation, right?"

didn't give Chunjia a chance to answer, the Empress Dowager suddenly laughed, "Regardless of whether you guessed deliberately or instinctively, you guessed correctly - that's right, the mourning family chose to send it to the public, not for anything else, just because the mourning family thinks that he is not as good as you!" Not only is he inferior to you, but his son is even worse than you!! ”

"So even if the mourning family hates him, the mourning family will still support him—in this way, if he wins, it may not be a good thing for the Gongxiang clan; Even if he loses, with the mourning family on his side, most of your hands will be a mess, which is also not a good thing for the Gongxiang clan! ”

"That's fair, isn't it? In that year, the father and brother of the mourning family helped Shenzong succeed in seizing the throne, and the monarch and ministers rose at the same time. ”

"Now that the Ji clan has fallen, the Gongxiang clan ...... Especially the Gongxiang clan of the Divine Sect, it's okay, what are you doing? ”

"Shenzong is your husband, and Xiaozong is your own flesh and blood." Chunjia sighed and said, "In your eyes, the Ji family is so important, more important than your husband and only son?" ”

The Empress Dowager said indifferently: "But you are not my son's bloodline!" You can't even be kind to my son's bloodline! They are just three princesses, it is impossible to fight with you for anything, you still have to use them to the fullest, Shenzong and my son are of course more important than Ji's, but you or Gongxiang Ruo send? Scold! ”

She raised her chin disdainfully, revealing a malicious smile, "If you really care about the world, there is actually another choice, you can break the plan of the mourning family." That is, it is tied up, and the Zen position is like sending it...... In this way, there is no internal friction between your uncles and nephews, and if you send it, you will have the opportunity to work hard and cultivate a qualified prince for the dynasty! ”

"How? Would you do that? ”

"Won't?"

"Then shut up - you see, you also have selfish intentions, the future of the Gongxiang clan and the well-being of all the people in the world are not as important as yourself in your eyes after all, so isn't it natural for the mourning family to do this?!"

Chunjia didn't get angry, but said: "I do owe the three eldest princesses, but the three eldest princesses are also your biological heirs, you let the eldest princess Minghui bear the reputation of murdering the virtuous concubine, what will she do in the future?" ”

"Minghui is the granddaughter of the Ji family, and now that the Ji family is gone, her future will not be too good." The Empress Dowager said indifferently, "In this case, if I can pit you, it will be her filial piety for Ji Sheng." ”

"I see." Chunjia nodded, "I understand...... From then on, each will rely on his own means to compete! ”

After that, he didn't stop and turned away.

The Empress Dowager looked at his back for a long time, and snorted coldly: "It's all arranged over there?" ”

Left and right bowed slightly: "Don't worry, Niangniang, last night, the news spread out, and I won't miss things." ”

After hesitating, he said, "It's just that our people found out, and it was also the Imperial City Division named Liuhong who was the most suspicious." ”

"It won't be a hand sent by Gongxiangruo." The Empress Dowager said categorically, "If this matter is sent by the public, there is no need to deceive the mourning family!" And that Liuhong was Concubine Xian who came to her when she was still in Huzhu Palace. If it was really the person who was arranged by the public Xiangruo, as early as the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Concubine Xian should have had an accident, as for the delay until now?! ”

She sighed and frowned, "Check again...... Pay attention to the next spring palace, that cheap maid is also one hundred and eighty concubines who don't like it, maybe, it's her? ”
