Chapter 194: Deliberation of the Monarch and His Ministers (II)
"Your Majesty, what should I say about this?" When Deng Chengzhai heard this, he thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Since the Chongyang Banquet, rumors have flown up inside and outside, and there has been a surge in the number of scholars going to the imperial capital to take the exam. The minister told the truth: among these people, all those who are consciously talented and beautiful and boast of their character have the hope of choosing the heavenly horse after the title of the gold list. ”
"And the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Second Feast, the children of the Xie family all participated, and they were all talented and unmarried children."
"There have long been rumors in the market that His Majesty favors the true concubine, so he is willing to use his sister and his brother to prosper his blood relatives."
At this point, he stopped, bowed his head, and waited for the emperor to understand.
Chunjia frowned slightly, and understood the meaning of this henchman: There are too many people who want the real concubine to fall now, and they can't even find it for a while.
After all, Xiaozong left three princesses, and all of them will decline in the coming year, and there will only be three concubines.
Xie Shi relied on Yunfeng Huang and directly decided on one, can it not attract people's eyes?
Especially since the situation has developed so far, it has become obvious that if it is a colt in ordinary times, it may not be worth fighting for it by unscrupulous means.
Because although the dynasty treats the golden branches and jade leaves well, it does not say that it spares no effort to cultivate horses.
But now everyone knows that the emperor is in a hurry to open Enke, and he has released the rumor that he wants to personally choose horses for the princesses, which is to use the identity of the princesses to promote his own people.
This is comparable to Wei Changkong's treatment back then!
Who is Wei Changkong?
Wei Liushou, ancient and modern, rare in the world!
This is really a genius who can't be envied for eight lifetimes, and now? You don't need to be so amazing, as long as you are passable, you have never been married, and you can enter the eyes of the Son of Heaven, Qingyun Avenue is in front of you.
Even the marquis and the prime minister are not impossible.
Now is not the time of the founding of the country, and the public is waiting for it.
When I wanted to get a title like this, Ze was descended by future generations, and the credit required was incalculable.
It's easy to catch up with Gongxiang's family, and there is such a young and ambitious master, can you hurry up and get on the boat?
In this way, any number of colts must be eager to play out their brains.
So even if Yun Fenghuang's reputation is outside, the means of the city government are also recognized, and they can't stand everyone from pit her together, it should be said that it is precisely because I know that this real concubine is deeply favored by Chunjia and also has the means of the city government, so everyone has to deal with her together.
And the crime began with the accusation of red apricots out of the wall.
This not only echoes Xie Fengfeng's past, but also tries to directly cut off her biggest backer, Chunjia's trust and reuse.
Therefore, unless you are very lucky, it is impossible to find out the truth of this matter for a while.
After talking about the difficulties of thoroughly investigating to the end, hinting that the emperor is willing to pretend to be confused at this time is absolutely wise and powerful, Deng Chengzhai replied to his own handling suggestions, "The real concubine Niangniang is hired into the palace by the Empress Dowager's decree, and her Lan Xinhui quality, ice and jade cleanliness must be true!" Moreover, Your Majesty's dragon and phoenix posture, appearance of heaven and man, how can the true concubine not fall in love? How is it possible to have a private meeting with someone? ”
"This matter is very important, and the minister thinks that it is best to ask the Empress Dowager to deal with it."
Since it was made by Zheng Guifei, regardless of whether the Ji family has a share or not, you said that the Empress Dowager is in front of you, so the Empress Dowager has to take out the real concubine in order to prove her love for you, otherwise? Xie Feng's red apricot went out of the wall, or Chun
After Jia is good.
That's just the concubine's sister-in-law.
The real concubine was passed on to the Yun family before entering the palace.
At this time, a real concubine herself is also a disobedient woman, and she is so bold that she cuckolds the emperor in the palace...... It is difficult for the Empress Dowager not to be suspected of not caring for the heirs who are not her own grandsons.
Originally, the relationship between the Ji family and the emperor was already very estranged, how could it be done again?
So I am not afraid that they will not contribute at all.
"It's not the right thing to do." But when Chunjia listened, she shook her head and said slowly, "The reason why the Empress Dowager stayed in the palace in the first place was because of the phoenix body's disobedience, how could I disturb her old man because of my own selfishness?" ”
Of course, this is a good thing to say, but what it actually means is, what if the Ji family does have a part in this matter, and even the purpose is to let the Empress Dowager return to the palace?
After all, the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji stayed in the palace before, and the so-called phoenix body violation and need to recuperate is a pretense itself, and the real reason is the result of their negotiations with Chunjia.
Chunjia finally let these two clan elders stay in the palace obediently, so as to hinder his good life with the Empress Dowager Yuan.
How can you take them back to the palace so easily?
If you come back, you won't leave, no, it should be said that the Queen Mother will definitely come back and won't leave, since you picked up the Queen Mother, can the Queen Mother Ji, who was waiting for the Queen Mother to stay in the palace, not take it?
When the time comes, how can the emperor be willing to restore the situation of having both grandmothers and heirs?
So even if he knew that it was most appropriate and effortless to push this matter to the Empress Dowager, he also asked Deng Chengzhai, "It's better to set up another way." ”
"Yes." Deng Chengzhai was not surprised by the emperor's decision, thought about it, and said, "Since the empress dowager should not be disturbed, then ...... Why don't you leave it to the queen? Although the real concubine has won the favor of His Majesty, she is also a harem concubine in the end. This matter should be handed over to the queen to investigate thoroughly. ”
Anyway, the intention is still the same, the Ji family doesn't want the Empress Dowager to take the responsibility of not caring about her heirs, so she can only arrange things.
Who called Yunfeng Huang to enter the palace through the courtesy channel, and Yi Zhi knocked on the seal of the Queen Mother?
Of course, this is also the early departure of Concubine Shu, otherwise, if the name of Yunfeng Huang is a little inappropriate, the first thing to bear the brunt of is Concubine Shu's bad luck.
But Concubine Shu has gone, the so-called death is great, and his father is an important minister who has always stood in Chunjia, it is conceivable that it is impossible to turn over the old accounts and burn the fire to the head of the Yiguo Mansion.
can only block the gun after the empress dowager.
Chunjia pondered for a moment to express his approval, and discussed some government affairs with him, seeing that it was almost noon, he didn't leave a meal, and sent Deng Chengzhai directly, but he didn't leave, but sat behind the desk for a long time, without saying a word.
Seeing this, the attendants knew that he was in a bad mood, although they didn't hear his conversation with Deng Chengzhai, and they didn't know the reason, but they didn't dare to make a mistake.
Finally, it was the wild goose that stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, where is the lunch?" Is it in the Taichu Palace, or is it going to the harem? ”
“…… Go to the Huanhua Temple. Chunjia waited for a while before throwing down the things in his hand and commanded lightly.
Yan Yin and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor was like this before, when he was in a bad mood, he went to the Huanhua Palace, and the real concubine always had a way to coax him to relieve his face.
So now that the emperor said to go to Yunfeng Huang, everyone thinks that it will be good to see the real concubine after a while.
didn't know that Chunjia was turning over the river at this moment
Pour the sea, if you are not used to forbearance since childhood, you are afraid not to show it on your face.
Indeed, he knew early on that Yun Fenghuang had a private meeting with Qi Jiulu in the palace.
The explanation given by Yun Fenghuang was that all this was the pot of the regent's father and son, and she was forced to do so, and she hated Qi Jiulu very much, including Qi Jiulu.
She's just talking to them.
And they all kept their distance, and they never seriously tarnished their innocence as a palace concubine.
Chun Jia listened to these words selectively, whether Yun Fenghuang loved Qi Jiulu or hated, of course he couldn't believe it just by listening to Yun Fenglian's one-sided words.
However, whether Yun Fenghuang and Qi Jiulu have a skin-to-skin relationship, he still trusts Yun Fenghuan more, it's not that he listened to Deng Chengzhai's flattery, he really felt that he was a dragon and a phoenix, and the real concubine fell in love at first sight, and he forgot about Qi Jiulu when he turned his head, and he refused to have anything with Qi Jiulu.
But......
Chun Jia believed that Yun Fenghuan was such a suspicious and jealous person, and since he knew that Qi Jiulu himself did not have the ability to bypass the palace ban and join her, thanks to the power of the regent, how could he fall into such a handle?
Once the father and son of the regent have the evidence that she has a skin-to-skin relationship with her foreign man, she will have to be controlled by others in her life, even if she is the queen mother.
Yun Fenghuang is not so stupid.
She may trust Qi Jiulu, but she will definitely not trust the father and son of the regent.
The problem is that no one has said anything about this, and Chunjia himself is rummaging in his heart, whether he can go over and not say it, at least he is calm.
But now that it has been turned out, one is not handled well, and it may be full of wind and rain in the city, so ......
is reasonable, and his identity as the son of heaven, he can no longer be indifferent.
Because even if he is willing to ignore his past suspicions, Empress Dowager Yuan, all the ministers, and close servants...... None of these people will say yes.
At that time, what should he do with Yun Fenghuang?
In fact, Deng Chengzhai's idea just now, whether it was to inform the Empress Dowager or arrange for Empress Ji to go out to wash the floor, was a proposal after figuring out his intentions.
There is also a way to cut through the mess with a quick knife, and Deng Chengzhai didn't even mention it.
It is to secretly execute Yun Fenghuang.
There is no proof of death to protect the emperor's reputation.
Moreover, if someone dies, whether it is Concubine Zheng or the person who arranged for her to come forward, she can no longer use the matter of "the real concubine has a private meeting with a foreign man" to make waves.
Even if it is spread all over the city, it can be said that this is all jealousy of the real concubine's favor during her lifetime, so she privately spread rumors and slandered the deceased, which is not true.
Deng Chengzhai saw that the emperor didn't want to deal with Yun Fenghuang.
It can even be said that the emperor was worried that the situation would not be controlled and spread to the previous dynasty, and hoped that he would control the scene at that time, so he deliberately revealed the matter and let him make up his mind.
It's just a turning reminder for him to be prepared.
"The three generations of the Ji family have a deep foundation in the harem, whether it is for me or my blood and bones, the harem must no longer let the Ji family be in charge." On the way to Xuanqing Palace, Chunjia thought silently, "And the concubine and the others, although they have enough ability, they have their own plans behind them, and they cannot be trusted." The only thing I can use now is the True Concubine. ”
So he kept the true concubine, no, at least not all for selfish desires, but also out of consideration for the overall situation.
Thinking like this, the impetuosity in my heart retreated slightly.
But when the emperor fell in the Huanhua Palace, looking at the brisk pace of the cloud wind fence, Chunjia's complexion couldn't help but sink!
