Chapter 215: Twists and Turns

"Your Majesty, I think what Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui said is true."

"Your Majesty, so are the ministers."

"The evidence is ironclad, please Your Majesty deal with Concubine Yun Xian, and return justice to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and it is also the spirit of the first emperor Xiaozong in the sky!"

"Your Majesty, please!"

"The minister also asks Your Majesty to administer justice for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

For a while, the hall was full of requests urging Chunjia to dispose of Yun Fenghuan.

The eldest princess of Minghui turned sideways slightly, looked at the emperor on the Danqi, and the crown that hung down to her chest did not move at all, covering the emperor's expression tightly.

She recognized the crown, it was one of the tributes paid by the people under the thirty holy birthdays of Xiaozong, in order to please the Son of Heaven, it was extremely luxurious, and it is said that the pearls in it cost dozens of lives to save enough size, shape, luster and look like the same set.

So the finished product is very good, and even Xiaozong can't put it down after seeing it...... It's just that soon Xiaozong learned the truth and was furious, not only sent the tribute officials to prison for investigation, but also wanted to destroy the crown to make an example. Later, it was the Empress Dowager and the concubine Ji Sheng who persuaded him, on the grounds that although this crown was not so glorious, it had come to this point, and it would be useless to destroy it, but to waste good things in vain.

Xiaozong couldn't resist them, so this crown was retained.

But Xiaozong still didn't like it in his heart, and it was useless. However, when Minghui was a child, Ji Sheng took gold beads and jade as toys for her, and was very bored after being seen by Xiaozong, so he specially held his eldest daughter on his lap and asked someone to take this crown to show her, and told her the story of the pearl on it, teaching her not to be extravagant because she was born in the royal family.

He died not long after, and everything that he had been frugal in his life was cheaper than that of his distant nephews...... Including this almost brand-new coraline.

I don't know if Chunjia knows the origin of this crown?

The eldest princess of Minghui thought sarcastically, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care about anything, right?

After all, does he have less blood on his hands in private?

How can you care about the cost of a few pearls?

"The minister is against!" The appeal on the temple is getting louder and louder, and some people have even come out of the ranks and knelt down, seeing that more people will soon kneel, forming a situation that is almost forcing the palace, and when the corners of Minghui's mouth under the veil and the mouth of the head regent of the ministers are raised in a similar arc, someone suddenly shouted, "The evidence presented by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not undoubted, and it is far from ironclad!" How can you convict the virtuous concubine?! ”

"Although Chen Chen is humble and light-hearted, he doesn't dare to be so careless about people's lives!"

"Please Your Majesty be aware of everything, Mo is from a humble background because of the noble status of the eldest princess and the virtuous concubine, wantonly pronouncing sentences and persecuting innocent people!"

Saying that, without waiting for someone to answer, he quickly turned to Princess Minghui, "Back then, Emperor Xiaozong once raided the officials of the South China Sea because of the crown pearl matter, which affected a wide range of people, and many people migrated in vain...... Presumably Her Royal Highness the eldest princess should have heard of it? Emperor Xiaozong's move was just for dozens of slaves and maids, and although Concubine Xian was not from a high background, she was also a son of a good family after all, and she raised the eldest prince and Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing! Inherited by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess

Since the first emperor's generosity and compassion, he must not be able to bear to be disposed of in a daze, right? ”

After the veil of "......", Minghui's face changed rapidly, she subconsciously turned her head, but she woke up halfway through, and forced herself not to look at the regent, nor to see any of the regent's henchmen, now in full view, and Chunjia condescendingly saw clearly, any inappropriate move by her at this time will expose a lot of news, the most important thing is that the ministers, including the courtiers who originally supported Chunjia, clearly stood up for her just now, or acquiesced in the actions of the courtiers who supported her, It's because she's Xiaozong's biological daughter.

They give face to Xiaozong.

But if they find out that she's doing it for the regent, then ...... Although Xiaozong once wanted to establish the emperor's younger brother during his lifetime, he did not have a serious foundation in the end.

According to the rules, Chunjia, the heir, is the most orthodox heir of Xiaozong!

Therefore, under the same name of filial piety, between the heirs and the biological daughter, as long as it is not too big a problem, everyone will subconsciously tend to the biological daughter.

But one is the younger brother of Xiaozong and the other is the heir of Xiaozong, so those who support Chunjia will have no psychological burden.

"Of course." Minghui took a deep breath, and now she couldn't get a reminder from her uncle, so she could only deal with it herself, "If you have any doubts, just bring them up!" ”

Although she was unexpected, she didn't panic at this time.

Because of whether there are loopholes in the evidence that has just been spread by the ministers, she also knows very well in her heart.

The regent's people told her in advance, not to mention that this was a temporary fabrication, even if it is a real fact, there is no shortage of people who can pick the bones in the egg and find out the "flaws".

But it doesn't matter, this time they are playing the emotional card.

As long as everyone is emotionally inclined to the eldest princess, then even if someone on Chunjia and Yun Fenglian's side dares to stand up and help speak under pressure, they will be blocked back by those who are biased in favor of the eldest princess.

Once this kind of verbal war starts, they will be invincible.

The reason is very simple, as soon as they fight, Chunjia's bad impression of Xiaozong's own flesh and blood is settled.

In the follow-up, Minghui didn't say anything, and went directly to kneel in front of Xiaozong's mausoleum and cry.

When it's over, I'll wait to see how Chunjia is burned.

At that time, even the matter of Ji Sheng, a common man, will be revealed, and everyone will wonder if the so-called three corpse insects thing was really done by Ji Sheng?

Could it be that Chunjia is mad and sets up a situation to force his grandmother to death, not to mention, but also to ruin his mother's reputation?

Otherwise, why would he let his favorite concubine bully his sister like this after his mother-in-law died of self-immolation?

"Naturally, the minister has suspicions, and there is more than one place." When Chen gradually heard this, he said lightly, "But the minister thinks that such a thing should not be discussed here!" Whether it is the virtuous concubine or the eldest princess, Her Royal Highness is a clan relative, and they are all female dependents, this matter should be handled by the Empress Dowager or the Zongren Mansion, and it is not suitable to take it to the temple at all! Before, His Majesty mentioned this matter in the court, and the root cause was not the poisoning of Concubine Xian, but the result of the thorough investigation by the Imperial City Division pointed to Lu Chuncao, the former Qing Ping Marquis and the father-in-law of the regent! Lu Chuncao was removed

In addition to the marquis, there are also official bodies, but for the sake of Lu Chongyi's affairs earlier, he has been asking himself to think about it behind closed doors after going to the court, so he is not in the court. ”

"Later, the regent proposed that the real culprit was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the crowd was in an uproar, so there was today's court meeting."

"The minister originally thought that this matter involved Concubine Xian, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and Lu Chuncao, so he didn't say much."

"But now it seems that Lu Chuncao has nothing to do...... Then, with all due respect, why should the grievances between the concubine and the eldest princess be discussed in the temple? ”

He looked up at the top of the Danqi and asked very boldly, "Do you think that Your Majesty and your lords think that the world has been cleared and the river is clear, and there is nothing to worry about, and some are kung fu to be the master of the harem?!" ”

These words almost pointed directly at the noses of the emperor and the courtiers other than him, and scolded them for not distinguishing between priorities and priorities, and ignoring what should not be managed.

How many major national events have you in the government and the opposition, and you don't deal with them or discuss countermeasures, but chatter about a dispute that belongs to the harem?

I just flicked the sleeves of my robe again, and said "I am ashamed to be with you".

“…… I don't mean that. On the Danqi, the emperor, who had been silent, finally spoke, with shame in his voice, and said slowly, "It's just that as Aiqing said, I mentioned the poisoning of Concubine Xian at the court meeting, not because I attached importance to Concubine Xian, but according to the conclusion of the Imperial City Division, this matter is related to the courtiers. I also thought that today's matter had a lot to do with Lu Chuncao, so naturally it could not be handed over to the Imperial Grandmother or the Zongren Mansion for disposal. Nowadays......"

He hesitated, his eyes fell and fell on the eldest princess Minghui, it was the kind of embarrassment that he didn't want to wronged his sister and knew that he couldn't get over it reasonably, "This ......"

The emperor finally turned his attention to the ministers for help, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

Ladies and gentlemen, they groaned.

Of course, they can see that Chen Jian's righteousness is awe-inspiring, but in fact, it is essentially a strategy to delay the army.

Thinking about it, the words of the eldest princess Minghui today were too unexpected by Chunjia and Yun Fenghuang, they were not ready to deal with it, so they could only find a reason to leave the venue first like the last court meeting, and then tear it up when they were ready.

According to the consideration that most people want to favor the daughter of Xiaozong, of course, they don't want to follow Chen Yan's thoughts.

This is not only that they miss the first emperor and want to take care of the eldest princess Minghui, but also that they are worried that Chunjia and Yun Fenghuang are not soft-hearted masters, especially Yun Fenghuan, she probably did not harm the eldest princess Minghui before, and it may not be possible after this time.

So if she doesn't carry out the crime of murdering the eldest princess now and beat people down, the eldest princess can be said to be threatened all the time in the future.

More because, what follows.

Now regarding the new owner of Yanfu Palace, the opinions of the ministers are three factions: Gu Zhen, Gaomen is in the room, and silence.

Excluding the neutral party that expressed its position in silence, whether it was those who supported Gu Zhen's ascension to the throne or those who supported the emperor's remarriage, they could not avoid the existence of Yun Fenghuang, a virtuous concubine.

Everyone knows in their hearts that with Chunjia's favor for Yun Feng Huang and Yun Feng Huang's own means, the queen is Gu Zhen or someone else

Anyway, even if you live in Yanfu Palace, it's hard to say whether you can really take charge of the Sixth Palace.

So whether it is out of selfishness or worried that the royal family will be in turmoil in the future, these people, not to mention that they must eradicate Yun Fenghuan, at least they have the intention of suppressing her.

It's just that this virtuous concubine is cunning and clever and deeply satisfied, where is it so easy to move her?

What the Empress Dowager, the loving mother who raised Chunjia single-handedly, can't do, let alone a foreign minister?

But right now, there's a great opportunity in front of us.

opposed Chen Gradual, echoed the eldest princess, and knocked the cloud wind fence into the dust.

The courtiers' eyes flashed, and they subconsciously looked at their trusted colleagues, exchanging tacit understanding...... After a while, a scarlet-robed official took the lead and bowed his hand: "The minister thinks that what Chen gradually said is nonsense!" ”

Someone took the lead, and many people subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to express their support, "The same is true for ministers!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister thinks that Chen gradually is talking nonsense, and he simply doesn't know what to say!"

"This person is grandstanding, and he is not worthy of being in the same temple as us!"

"Please Your Majesty, don't be confused by villains, please Your Majesty administer justice for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

Seeing the temple return to the hustle and bustle, the regent sneered, the corners of his eyes squinted, seeing that her face was slightly pale, the smile became more and more distinct: Think someone just stood up to stir up the situation?

Today's matter, on the surface, is the dispute between the eldest princess and the favorite concubine, but in fact, the real focus is on the successor, the choice of the East Palace in a few years, and the owner of Qingci Palace in a few years!

Therefore, how much vision and ambition does the seat of Yanfu Palace condense, and how many families hope to continue their glory or go to the next level...... Your virtuous concubine obstructed their eyes, and committed such a public wrath, if you don't die, who will die?
