Chapter 203: The Marquis of Yongchun is reinstated
Two days later, the emperor still didn't say a word, and the ministers couldn't hold back.
After all, whether it is the murder of the queen mother and the prince in the Taiye pool, or a series of things about the queen concubine and the princes, it is not possible to get through in a confused way.
As a courtier, you can give the emperor a few days of buffer, calm, and disposal, but it is impossible to say that it is so tacitly vague.
It's just that no one has yet reminded Chunjia that it is time to give an explanation, so Yongchun Hou took the first step to return to the court with the guards.
He is responsible for thoroughly investigating the life history of the Eighth Prince, and this matter is not particularly big politically.
At least for now, except for a few who are not long-sighted, the important ministers do not want to form a mortal enmity with the Empress Dowager Yuan for such a matter before confirming that Chunjia is completely disgusted with the Yuan family.
But in terms of public opinion, it is the easiest to widely know.
After all, the dignified son was stolen from the dragon to the phoenix or something, which is really attention-grabbing.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to rush to Wannian County with the guards on the same day...... "The newly promoted Marquis of Yongchun is young and understature, because he has been raised in the regent palace for many years and has not seen outsiders, and when he appeared in front of people, he was already a prince of the palace, although he was a serious royal child, but he was somewhat cowardly.
This is the first time he has led an envoy alone, although Chunjia has specially arranged for some old and serious guards to accompany him, but these people are at most in Wannian County when they are mentioning a point or two, and now they are returning to the court, but there is still only Yongchun Hou alone.
He was a little obviously panicked, and his voice trembled slightly to tell the ins and outs: probably he took people to Wannian County, according to the farmer who sued the emperor that day, he checked it down and came to the conclusion that the farmer's wife did work as a nurse for Concubine Yuan Xian, but stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix did not exist.
The farmer's children were gone, but they were not buried in the graves they had dug up.
Because he was just a farmer and he was young, he was casually buried in a place at that time. At the same time, there was a big family in Wannian County whose youngest daughter was gone, and the mother of this big family flattered Concubine Yuan Xian very well, so she was rewarded by Concubine Xian. She also loved her daughter, so she gave her many good things to bury her, so that her daughter would not suffer when she went to the ground with her hands empty...... Anyway, it's a misunderstanding.
The Eighth Prince is indeed a royal prince.
The monarch and ministers listened to this conclusion calmly, except for a few stunned young people who wanted to find fault intently, Chunjia and the important ministers were very calm, or rather, expressionless.
Because this is a match in full view, the dignity of the court must be considered, and Chunjia's face must be considered, so the truth is not important, what matters is how the entire court will step down decently.
Therefore, after the stunned Qing stood up and pointed out a few flaws, he was quickly passed by Ouyang Yanran and Yin Qu and others, and this court meeting was hastily dispersed.
After that, the emperor took a few important ministers to the imperial study, and then called the Marquis of Yongchun to tell the truth in detail, which was the main event.
At this time, the atmosphere was not as tacitly calm as the morning meeting.
As soon as Yongchun Hou entered the door, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.
This plea is not for anything else, but for the regent's henchmen that Junjia has just disposed of. In fact, when he received the news that he was in Wannian County, he was very worried, and he wanted to rush back immediately to resign his title and ask for guilt. But the Praetorian guards who accompanied him persuaded him, saying that the emperor was fair and lenient, and that since he punished the regent's henchmen, it meant that they must have done something wrong. And Yongchun Hou didn't do anything at a young age, and he was the emperor's brother, how could the emperor blame him?
Instead of rushing back to show his distrust of the emperor, it is better to do the mission that the emperor explained with his heart.
That is to say, Gong Xiangzhen is not like Gong Xiangxiao.
The latter doesn't care how complicated his perception of Chunjia is, he has a brotherhood that has been together for more than ten years.
There is also the maintenance of the Empress Dowager.
In terms of the weight in front of the Son of Heaven, it is really not comparable to Gongxiang Zhen.
And he was terrified.
Therefore, at this time, he immediately knelt down and admitted that he had no mouth.
"What are you doing here?" Chunjia glanced at it, and gently reproached, "I disposed of those people because they were secretly engaged in wind and rain in a vain attempt to divide our brothers. I don't want to think about how many people there are in the main sect now? Your brother-in-law is still in the vassal kingdom because of the rules of his ancestors. The great emperor's capital, just our flesh and blood. It's too late for me to love you, can I still blame my own people for the fault of outsiders? ”
Just let him get up and don't think about it.
The emperor said this, and Ouyang Yanran and other courtiers also followed to help, so that they could make Yongchun Hou stand up in the end.
At this time, when asked about the trip to Wannian County, Yongchun Marquis was embarrassed, looked at a few courtiers, and saw that Chunjia did not mean to let them avoid it, so he whispered: "Your Majesty, ministers...... The minister felt that the life experience of the eighth prince was ...... Possible...... There may indeed be some problems! ”
After saying this, he waited for Chunjia's thunder to be furious, but in fact the emperor was very calm, and said, "Let's start from the beginning." ”
Yongchun Hou said in 1510, after he went to Wannian County, he did follow what the farmers said and began to investigate, at first he didn't find any problems, and then under the prompting of the accompanying guards, he found some flaws, and after following the investigation, he ...... found that Yuan Xianfei did have some problems with the original production.
First of all, Concubine Yuan Xian is likely not to give birth to a prince, but a princess!
Secondly, this princess seems to have something to do with Concubine Yuan Xian's actions during her pregnancy, in short, she ran out of breath when she landed;
Third, the eighth prince who was raised in front of the queen as the heir of Concubine Yuan Xian was not necessarily the heir of the farmer, but ...... Yuan's side branch disciples!
Ouyang Yanran and other important ministers were still not shocked when they heard the second, and when they heard that the so-called eighth prince might be the son of the Yuan family, Qi Qi's face changed and he went to see Chunjia.
Chunjia didn't have any expression on his face, and he didn't know if he expected it early in the morning or if he could stabilize it, and said kindly: "I know, it's hard work Yongchunhou, you must not have rested much in the past two days, so let's go and settle down." ”
Yongchunhou glanced at him with some concern: "The ministers are not tired, the ministers should be." ”
He wanted to say two words of relief, but ...... This kind of thing, to be honest, I really don't know how to comfort it.
After hesitating, he retired.
After he left, several courtiers glanced at each other, and the most honest Duke of Yiguo took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, if the eighth prince, no, if the male heir brought back to the palace by Concubine Yuan Xian is really the bloodline of the Yuan family, then the Xingning Bo Mansion will be punished!" It's the Queen Mother, I'm afraid I have to explain a thing or two! ”
Ouyang Yanran and the others were silent, but their expressions were all in approval.
Indeed, it should be in favor.
If the eighth prince is the farmer who came to sue the royal court, it can also be explained that the little princess born to Concubine Yuan Xian died unexpectedly, and she was overly grieved and worried about being blamed, so she was confused for a while and raised a child. However, it was actually the son of the Yuan family who you brought back to pretend to be the emperor's heir, and the Empress Dowager Yuan also managed to stuff it to the queen to raise, what does this mean?
The most thought-provoking thing is that the three concubines under the queen's knees, the king of Chu is stupid, the twelve princes are drowned, and now there is only one tenth prince who is still intact.
But the ten princes are still young, and the queen is raising a total of only a few children? The Three Princes, the King of Chu, the Eighth Prince, the Ten Princes, and the Twelve Princes.
The eldest of the three princes is because of his biological mother, but as long as he has a brother alive, he will not be able to ascend the throne.
In other words, if something goes wrong with the Ten Princes, the Empress may be forced to accept the Eighth Prince as her concubine!
After all, the emperor's eldest son, King Qin, is already eight years old!
At this time, the whole army of the sister-in-law was wiped out, could it be that the Gu family would send their daughter to Chunjia to give birth to a child as a son-in-law? Gu Shi has the face to open this mouth???
In this way, rounding is the Yuan family's vain attempt to win the Gongxiang clan...... To put it mildly, if it weren't for the emperor's feelings for the Empress Dowager Yuan, they should have directly discussed how to exterminate the nine clans of the Yuan family!
If it is passed out, the clan relatives will not agree to let the Yuan family go!
Chunjia kept a calm face and didn't speak for a while.
Seeing this, Yiguo Gong glanced at Ouyang Yanran, and saw that he lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't noticed, and couldn't help but say again: "Your Majesty, judging from the description of Yongchun Hou just now, Concubine Yuan Xian deliberately stayed in Wannian County at all, so it can be seen that she has long had the intention of stealing beams and changing pillars!" In this case, this Yuan son pretending to be the emperor's heir, maybe it was also the plan of Xingning Bofu early in the morning? ”
Even, maybe earlier?
For example, since Chunjia ascended the throne, the Yuan family has been ready to pick peaches?
Seeing that Yiguo Gong couldn't stop looking at himself, Ouyang Yanran was a little helpless, the Son of Heaven was so shrewd, what the courtiers could think of, how could he not think of it?
If this is an ordinary courtier, I believe Chunjia will be able to deal with it immediately.
But this ......
Isn't it to think about the Queen Mother?
Now Yiguo Gong keeps saying how Xingningbo Mansion is, but in fact...... Everyone present knew in their hearts, Yuan wanted to steal beams and change pillars or something, without the help of the Queen Mother, at least with connivance and acquiescence, and it was done?
Unlikely.
After all, the three women sent into the palace by the Yuan family, Yuan Qian Niang didn't make any splashes from beginning to end.
Yuan Neem Niang fell out of favor by the concubine when Chunjia first started to gain power, and this is a brainless person, although she has been in the palace for many years, she has not saved any money.
In the end, Yuan Yuniang, who entered the palace, did not make any big mistakes, but she also did not get too much favor.
Purely relying on the two sisters to be unfavored, she was young and beautiful and pregnant, and was carried by the Empress Dowager Yuan to sit on the seat of the virtuous concubine.
But when she became a virtuous concubine, she went up against the opposition of the queen and the concubine.
Later, although these two didn't know what to do with her, the palace power and the like, they didn't even think about it, and they couldn't get involved at all.
Even if he stayed in Wannian County under the pretext of having a fetal gas, how could there be no eyeliner at all of the many waiters around him at that time? actually succeeded in dropping the bag, and even used the baby boy to pretend to be the original princess...... To say that there is no help from the Empress Dowager of Love, it is purely dependent on Yuan Yuniang herself and Xingning Bofu, it is too much to say!
Especially the concubine seems to have been ignorant all along!
This master is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she has conflicts with the Empress Dowager of Love, and even has a bad relationship with Concubine An and Concubine Yuan Xian, Concubine Yuan Xian stayed alone in Wannian County to give birth, and the concubine may not think of the Yuan family stealing beams and changing pillars, but it is impossible not to arrange for someone to stare at it.
It's not that they look down on Yuan Yuniang and Xingning Bofu, but the concubine is not an ordinary concubine, as far as this performance since entering the palace, it is said that Yuan Yuniang and the Yuan family can hide from Yun Fenghuan's ears and eyes without the protection of the Empress Dowager, and several courtiers, even the Duke of Yiguo, who is now full of malice towards Yun Fenghuan, do not believe it.
The Yuan family has this ability, and they will not help Chunjia again and again when they are still dormant.
This family is also a queen mother, who has more brains.
Of course, this can't be said that the Yuan family is really that bad, after all, they were also a local noble family before, and it is normal for them to suddenly become involved in a battle at the height of the temple, and they can't cope with it.
Like Yun Fenghuang, his background is worse than the Yuan family, and after entering the palace, he is like a fish and he is like a fish, which is eye-catching.
But Concubine Min has been a minority throughout the ages, isn't it?
"......" Chunjia was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly, "It's a big matter, I ...... Rong Zhen thought about it. ”
Yi Guogong glanced at Ouyang Yanran and the others, and they all sighed secretly.
Obviously, the emperor's feelings for Empress Dowager Yuan are deep.
Even in this case, he still couldn't make up his mind to sweep the face of the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is still lacking, if you hear such news, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to Yu Feng's body?" Duke Yi Guo looked at Ouyang Yanran again, this time Ouyang Yanran finally spoke, and he said gently, "After all, the Empress Dowager has always felt sorry for Your Majesty, and she is extremely strict with the Yuan family. If you know this, eighty percent will be angry, this? ”
