Chapter 558: Recognizing Reality
Even if it was Shangguan Candle, Feng Xiyan didn't see her, because she instructed Mo Lan to find a doctor from her henchmen outside the palace to diagnose and treat whether she was really pregnant.
The result is conceivable, under all kinds of symptoms, even if she and Mo Lan cling to a glimmer of hope, it can't change most of the facts that have been confirmed in their hearts.
But despite this, after the doctor said the answer, the last glimmer of hope in Feng Xiyan's arms was completely shattered, and for a while, I didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
Although he had already guessed this fact and made a decision, after losing his soul, Feng Xiyan quickly cheered up and re-accepted the existence of this child.
With a promise to Mo Lan and the child, she began to plan everything, the purpose was to solve everything quickly, so that she could take the child and Mo Lan away and leave this place of right and wrong.
Of course, it is impossible for her to tell Shangguan Candle about the child, and of course it is impossible for her to disclose it to others, and among other people, including Ying Wei.
After letting Mo Lan send the doctor away, Feng Xiyan opened the Heart Nourishing Hall with his spirit, returned to normal, pretended that nothing had happened, and calmly handled all government affairs.
First and foremost, the murder of a large number of monks began to ferment in the same way that she and Ying Wei had found the temple that night.
In addition, it is not far from the imperial city, and the incense is flourishing in the temple on weekdays, and the monks are kind and charitable, and it is a well-known temple near and far.
Therefore, after the news that the temple monk was wiped out, it shocked the entire capital and the imperial court, and it spread among the people, and the people spontaneously organized to demand a strict investigation of the case, and asked the imperial court to find out the real murderer and severely punish the murderer.
After receiving the case, the yamen did not dare to slack off, and after first interrogating in a fake appearance, he quickly handed over this hot potato layer by layer because he could not handle the case, and finally passed it to the table of Fengxi Yan'an.
And this is exactly the effect that Feng Xiyan wants to achieve, so after all the officials of the exclusive department were summoned in the imperial study, they discussed and discussed the matter, and then he scolded the departments for taking the case to heart in a violent temper, and he must give him a satisfactory answer in three days.
The various departments retreated, and among the departments that supervised the handling of this case, a large part of them were the departments controlled by the Empress Dowager Li and Ma Zheng, and they all understood the causes and consequences of the case, and they also understood who was behind it.
But he didn't dare to identify the real culprit behind the scenes, nor did he dare to reveal the causes and consequences of what he did behind it, so the case was suddenly difficult to handle, the emperor wanted the result, and the queen mother wanted to stop it.
The ministers and courtiers took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and the two ministers in charge of the criminal department were anxious every day and had no idea where to start, so they lost a lot of weight and became emaciated in just a few days.
In addition, Feng Xiyan wanted to make a show, and he had to summon the ministers every day to inquire about the progress, but when there was no result, of course, there was a violent reprimand, so the two ministers were terrified every day.
But despite this, Feng Xiyan urged every day, was vigilant every day, and kept an eye on the progress of the case all the time, but three days later, there was still no progress in the matter, and there was not even a single clue, like a headless case.
In this regard, Feng Xiyan pretended to be angry in front of the civil and military officials, so that he reprimanded everyone sharply, and finally, under such an excuse, he dismissed several of Empress Dowager Li's henchmen in the criminal law department and replaced them with his own people.
In this way, when Empress Dowager Li reacted to her purpose at this time, it was too late to intervene, and she could only watch her replace all her henchmen, resentful and helpless.
Feng Xiyan wants more than that, what she wants is for the ministers she has finally placed at key points to return to their original positions, and to make Empress Dowager Li pay the corresponding price for what she has done.
Then put back those henchmen and hostages she arranged, otherwise this matter will not be over, and she will definitely fight her to the end.
Empress Dowager Li didn't know that Feng Xiyan already knew about the temple, and she didn't know that she was also at the scene that night, and thought that she deliberately came to fight with her by taking advantage of the thunder and rain.
Although she took the opportunity to withdraw several of her henchmen, although she was angry in her heart, she didn't pay much attention to it, but instead intensified her efforts and began to fight in the court, chasing and fighting Feng Xiyan.
After the ministers under the Empress Dowager Li received the instructions, the personnel from all over the city began to exert their abilities, openly and secretly arranged rumors in various storytelling places in the city, and published the rumors passed down by the Empress Dowager Li in various storytelling places.
spread some of Feng Xiyan's daily life in the palace, of course, what was spread was not a good word, but her unreliable behavior in the palace.
For example, she took a palace maid to the harem with her every day, and turned a blind eye to the harem concubines of Nuoda, such as using the already insufficient treasury to build a variety of new racetracks and juju fields, and even calling the king of the enemy country a brother and brother, drinking and talking, indulging in fun every day, and not engaging in government affairs.
Not only that, but even the plague went out of the palace without permission before, and the so-called going out of the palace to visit the people infected with the plague was fake, but the purpose was just that the emperor was worried that his father-in-law, Candle, was infected with the plague, so he ignored the obstruction of the Empress Dowager Li and had to go out of the palace to visit.
He also said that he traveled with the reputation of visiting the people to highlight his image of being diligent and loving the people, and all kinds of despicable behaviors were really brazen and shameless, so you can imagine how mediocre this emperor is.
In the capital, all kinds of rumors come and go, spreading in the city, and everyone listens to them, As a result, the image of Feng Xiyan's diligence and love for the people that was hard to recover collapsed in an instant, and the image damage was even more unbearable than before.
The people's hearts are broken.
Under the stormy attack of Empress Dowager Li, Feng Xiyan's situation gradually became difficult, and it can be said that he had no power to fight back.
But even so, she was not disappointed, or emotionally out of control, on the contrary, she was like a normal person, she should eat, drink, sleep every day, and turn a blind eye to all the storms.
In order to continue to investigate the families of those ministers, and then continue to force various departments to continue to supervise the investigation of the murder of monks in temples on the outskirts of Beijing, in order to force pressure on Empress Dowager Li.
The gods fight, and the imps suffer.
