Concubine Xian's request made the Manchu Dynasty whisper.

The regent is definitely against it, saying that Concubine Xian was poisoned suddenly, what does she know? If you know, you must have told the emperor after you woke up, didn't you? But I haven't heard of Chunjia's additional credentials in these days, so it can be seen that I don't know about it. Then she came to the temple at this time, isn't this adding to the chaos!

The courtiers in Chunjia's camp were quite moved, because they still trusted Concubine Xian's combat effectiveness, and this concubine was notoriously shrewd and tearing, so how could she make such a request if she was not sure?

The two sides quarreled for a while, and the neutral one hesitated.

On the one hand, they don't trust Yun Fenghuan very much, and they are worried that she will fall into the well for the eldest princess and kill Xiaozong's blood and bones; On the other hand, I don't like the regent's blatant suggestion that the eldest princess is the culprit.

This part of the people actually accounts for most of them at this time, including the courtiers who stand on Chunjia's side, such as Yiguo Gong and Ouyang Yanran, who actually hate the regent for pulling out the eldest princess Minghui as a shield.

Regardless of whether Princess Minghui is the real murderer or not, according to the rules of the Venerable, she should not be publicly accused.

Even if the evidence is ironclad, the tacit understanding should be to drag the steward around a princess, saying that the steward will do such evil things in the name of the princess, and then arrange for the concubine to come out and make love to the eldest princess to express her full belief that the eldest princess will not do anything to murder herself, and she will always take care of the royal face, right?

So most of the people went to see Chunjia's face, they didn't believe Yun Fenglian, but they still believed in Chunjia...... This is not to believe in Chunjia's commitment and conduct, but to believe in the pros and cons of this heavenly son.

As the heir of Xiaozong, he is the most inconvenient to fight with Xiaozong.

If the eldest princess Minghui falls into such a crime, even if Chunjia puts on a tolerant and generous attitude at this time, it will be easy for the eldest princess to be suspected of secretly murdering her in the future.

Who told him to have a history of quickly slaughtering the Ji family?

However, Chunjia was also a little apprehensive.

He didn't know that Yun Fenghuang would come out like this...... After hesitating at the moment, he said: "Concubine Xian's illness has not recovered, these days I remember that she is still recuperating, and I haven't said much, she came here today, presumably it will not be without purpose, and let her come in too." ”

When the regent saw this, he suspected that he had arranged it in advance, so he was very opposed.

But it was very difficult for them to oppose this matter, so Chunjia said: "Concubine Xian is the person concerned, if even she can't go to the court to confront her in person, why should she summon others?" Could it be that you did this, so you know better than Concubine Xian that you can find out without her being present? ”

Because Yun Fenghuan was waiting outside for the hour, Lu Chuncao, who was waiting outside the palace gate at the moment, and Princess Minghui, who came from Yaoyu Palace, did not arrive at all, she knelt down as soon as she entered, and gave Chunjia a national salute, and said that she was here to help Princess Minghui clarify: "Since the concubine entered the palace, thanks to Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui, she was able to go to the previous dynasty to serve Your Majesty." After that time

There are many concubines in the palace, and there are countless people who are better than concubines in terms of talent and appearance, and the eldest princess chose to carry the concubine alone. The concubine is inscribed, and she will never dare to sit back and watch the eldest princess be tainted by the treacherous villain, so I am here to explain! Not to mention that since the eldest princess has a lot of love for the concubine, how can she poison the concubine, it is even more ridiculous to say that the so-called eldest princess poisoned the concubine for the sake of Ji Sheng! ”

"As we all know, the reason why Shuren Ji Sheng was abandoned was because he murdered the heirs of the two generations of emperors of Jinshang and Xiaozong!"

"It's okay today, Emperor Xiaozong is the biological father of the eldest princess! Since the father is more important than the mother, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess grows in the palace, this is the most well-behaved place in the world, will you not understand this truth? ”

"Even though she has a deep relationship with the mother and daughter of the concubine Ji Sheng, but for the grievances of the first emperor of Xiaozong, how can the eldest princess complain about Jinshang? You must know that the original and present are also in a dilemma, and they can't bear it in every way, this is the result of the joint discussion of the clansmen, so if you do this, shouldn't the eldest princess first go to the clansmen? ”

"As Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, against the clan, who can resist?! But why bother to take a concubine and a woman to be angry! ”

"Therefore, what the regent said about the eldest princess is a real murderer, and the concubines don't believe it!"

"This must be a villain's work to slander the golden branches and jade leaves!"

The regent had a headache when he saw her come in, and he had an even more headache when he heard this, and at that moment, a courtier who looked like a counselor stood up and said: "Niangniang keeps saying that she has a deep relationship with Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui, but as far as the minister knows, Niangniang has refused Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to visit her many times......"

"Who did you listen to? Who told you that? Yun Fenghuang frowned, and scolded unceremoniously, "This palace has been living in the palace since it has come to the palace, and the news of the Great Inner Palace is also something that you and a foreign minister can hear at will?" This is the Great Dynasty, why are you talking nonsense about hearsay? I don't know what to do! ”

"Why should Niangniang pretend to cover up, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is young, and it is inevitable that she will make mistakes. These are all evidence-based, and the ministers are also very sad about such a result, but ......"

"What does it mean to be young, and mistakes are inevitable? This palace looks at you as old and confused! Your Majesty is also very young, but he is young and promising! When everyone is like you, you are still confused when you are at this age, and you still think that the stupidity of your youth is because of your youth? Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is the bloodline of filial piety, and my Gongxiang is a daughter of the Xiang family, who is smart and smart, and has talents, which can be compared to you? ”

Yun Fenghuang didn't know how far the regent had done because she hadn't personally seen the credentials of the two sides, so when others told her that there was evidence, she talked about the upbringing and bloodline of the royal princess; Others told her that the eldest princess also admitted it, otherwise she wouldn't have poked it out in the temple, she said that Xiaozong is so famous, how could she be a daughter and admit it publicly at such a time, this is not intentionally slapping Xiaozong's face? She definitely didn't believe that Princess Minghui would be such an unfilial person!

The front is okay, and when the latter statement came out, the faces of most of the courtiers changed: This is forcing the eldest princess of Minghui to die!

No, it should be said that it was forced to choose the regent

Choice: Did you lose this game, or did you bear the charge of forcing him to die as the only concubine of Emperor Xiaozong, his brother-in-law?

Because Yun Fenghuang has already delineated the scope of this matter: first, the eldest princess Minghui did not do anything to murder her, so good, as long as the real murderer is not the eldest princess, Chunjia will not be restrained, and in a short time, the regent can find a second scapegoat, is it suitable to pick Lu Chuncao out?

The second is that the eldest princess Minghui did this, indeed, as the imperial concubine, especially the imperial concubine of the heir of Xiaozong, it is impossible for her to let the eldest princess lose her life, and even if she is Chunjia, it is impossible for the eldest princess Minghui to receive any substantive punishment, and even for the sake of public opinion, she has to appease and tolerate the eldest princess Minghui.

But Yun Fenghuang raised a question: Princess Minghui, it doesn't matter if you murder the palace, but if you do this, I'm sorry for your father, Emperor Xiaozong!

Your father is called "filial piety", but it turns out that you are good to poison your brother's concubine and the adoptive mother of your eldest nephew, is this in line with filial piety? Is this in accordance with national law? Is this ethical?

Isn't this a smear to Xiaozong?

Isn't it a basic operation for people who have done things that insult their ancestors in these years to kill themselves and apologize?

Especially if the royal children humiliated the reputation of the first emperor, they can be counted as earning a good death.

Of course, the eldest princess Minghui may not go to a dead end, but since this view has been raised, a considerable number of people will definitely attack the eldest princess Minghui like this.

Including the clan relatives, they must all hope that she will die, so as not to bring the reputation of filial piety.

At that time, no matter what the result is, the regent will not be able to escape being scolded anyway: because it was he who brought it up that Princess Minghui was the murderer.

In this way, Chunjia will be praised for saying that Lu Chuncao is the real murderer, after all, although everyone knows that his move is to weaken the regent, but he abides by the rules among the nobles!

did not rely on the identity of the Son of Heaven to directly point the sword at the regent and the uncle, nor did he involve other time-honored nobles or clan relatives, and directly proposed a eunuch to come out...... Regardless of whether Lu Chuncao was once a marquis, and no matter how much he did to Xiaozong in exchange for a knighthood, he is a eunuch, and this alone is enough to be disliked by the people of the world.

Therefore, Chunjia has no problem at all with using him as a scapegoat, and everyone will only think that the emperor is exquisite.

As for saying that Lu Chuncao is the regent's father-in-law, and the power is not small, then the regent can only be blamed, who told him to find such a father-in-law?

…… For a while, up and down the temple, all the ministers had different faces, both surprised that Lu Chuncao and Princess Minghui had not yet arrived, and the situation was already upside down, and they were also cold to Concubine Xian's move, whether it was from the emperor's instructions?

If so, does it mean that the emperor doesn't care about the life or death of Princess Minghui at all?

As mentioned earlier, although Xiaozong failed to fight the Ji family, his reputation as a monarch is not bad, and most people in the government and the opposition actually sympathize with him and even praise him.

And after the fall of the Ji family, the iron core of the real Ji family has long been taken care of, and now the temple is full of the three factions of the regent, Chunjia and Zhongzhong, and these people are at least filial piety

There is no malice, and of course, with the blood of filial piety, there is also a mind to take care of it.

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui went to the outside of the palace to ask for a meeting." Just as everyone's minds were turning, someone from the palace came in to tell them.

Of course, Chunjia ordered: "Please." ”

A moment later, the eldest princess Minghui walked in with a hat, which surprised everyone, because according to the rules, the face of the saint cannot cover his face.

Moreover, the atmosphere of the national dynasty is not particularly harsh, and the concubine Yun Fenghuang is dressed up and enters the palace directly, and there is even less restraint on the eldest princess.

"The illness of this palace has not been cured, and I am afraid that the illness will be given to you, so I have not taken off my hat." After Minghui saluted Chunjia, he seemed to be aware of everyone's thoughts, and explained in a hoarse voice, "Please also ask the imperial brother to fulfill it." ”

Chunjia never bothered with the three imperial sisters in such a trivial matter, so she didn't say anything, and asked people to set up a pair of chairs for her under the Danqi, so as not to get tired of standing "before she recovered".

Seeing this, several courtiers who sympathized with the eldest princess of Minghui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of whether the emperor valued the blood of filial piety in private, at least his attitude was very correct.

Everyone knows that the emperor prefers the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine has not yet recovered, and she has been in the palace for so long, and she has not seen the emperor say that she will be given a seat.

Waiting for Minghui to sit down, Chunjia first asked about the fatigue of the journey, diagnosis and treatment, and even asked a few words about the current situation of the Empress Dowager, and was a good royal brother who felt sorry for his sister, and then turned to the topic: "Minghui, a few days ago, Concubine Xian was suddenly poisoned and almost died!" At that time, the eldest prince and Zhaoqing were next door, and it was very thrilling to think about it. I asked the Imperial City Division to investigate thoroughly, suspecting that Uncle Wang's father-in-law Lu Chuncao was the culprit, but Uncle Wang said that you did it, but I don't know, is it true or false? ”
