Chapter 146: The overall situation is decided
"Ye Guogong is a little restless, don't be impatient." Sun Yu didn't raise his eyelids, and said in a deep voice, "Although Sun An is quite relied on in the Royal Beast Garden, he is just a veterinarian in the end...... If these people want to ask the Empress Yuanzong for help in interceding, can they go to Yanfu Palace to meet them? Naturally, it is just a palace person entrusted to the Queen Mother! ”
In fact, Sun An's status is low, and he can't climb the Empress Dowager's close attendant.
But at that time, the Empress Dowager had a palace maid in charge of clothing and decorations, who liked birds and sparrows very much, and once picked up an injured yellow bird in the Imperial Garden, and asked the people of the Imperial Animal Garden to help diagnose and treat it, so he met Sun An.
This is also the reason why Sun An thinks of the Empress Dowager when he encounters trouble.
It's just that people who can do things on the side of the phoenix seat are cautious, although the palace maid owes Sun An a favor, and the Shenzong was very angry because of Hai Dongqing at that time, but she didn't dare to go to the queen to ask for such a favor, so she politely rejected Sun An.
When it comes to his own life, how can Sun An give up easily?
He gave almost all his savings to the palace maid, and asked her to show him a way to live.
The palace maid was moved by wealth, so she told him that she would definitely not dare to speak about this kind of thing, but there was someone who could help, but it was difficult to say how Sun An would impress this person.
This person is the niece of the Empress Dowager, the daughter of the Marquis of Minyang, the then crown princess, and now the empress dowager Ji Sheng.
Ji Sheng, as the daughter of the Ji family, after the family, his aunt is the lord of the middle palace, his father and grandfather have titles, and her husband is the prince.
If you change to someone else, you must think that the palace maid is trying to cheat herself, but Sun An is moved: because at that time, Ji Sheng and the prince had been married for several years but nothing came out, but the prince and concubine were pregnant.
Although in terms of Ji Sheng's family background and position, this child, whether male or female, will definitely not threaten her, but who would like to be robbed by a concubine?
Sun An asked the palace maid to help and handed a message to the palace people in front of Ji Sheng...... What is the specific process of this process, Sun Yong is not very clear now, anyway, it was Ji Sheng who accepted his refuge, went to Yanfu Palace to intercede, changed the original heavy responsibility to a light sentence, and only received ten strokes of the court rod before giving up.
After that, the crown princess had an extra hobby of stocking raccoon cats in the palace.
So not long after, the pregnant prince and concubine were cautious and cautious, but they were stillborn.
Later, the number of civet cats in the palace increased, and it became more difficult for the concubines to give birth.
"Then what did Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen say?!" The queen mother who was on top was expressionless, and she didn't mean to argue for her niece, and Ye Guogong at the bottom sneered and asked, "And the queen mother and queen mother are the main palace of Xiaozong, and the concubines of Xiaozong will respect her as the queen mother regardless of who gave birth to the prince!" Even though he is not born to the Queen Mother, he is the blood of filial piety, and he has the same father as the eldest princess and sister of Minghui, so he is not closer than today's son? ! ”
These words clearly scolded Chunjia for being bad for the three princesses - but what he just said was even more excessive, and the emperor was too lazy to be angry at this time, so he only looked sideways at Ouyang Yanran under his eyes.
Ouyang Yanran came out of the line and said loudly: "Among the three princesses, Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui is the longest, and then there are Princess Yun'an and Princess Sui'an. Before the three princesses, the concubines in the palace occasionally got pregnant, but they never landed safely, let alone grew up. After the three princesses...... If the old minister is not mistaken, Your Majesty, the youngest princess Sui'an was born not long ago, and the first emperor Xiaozong fell ill. ”
"After that, Emperor Xiaozong greatly reduced the number of times he summoned his concubines due to lack of energy."
"It may be because of this, after Princess Sui'an, no concubine in the palace has ever been pregnant."
Then the situation is very clear: when Ji Sheng and Xiaozong got married, both of them were young, Ji Sheng himself could not give birth, and no one else was allowed to give birth to Xiaozong.
But then the two of them got older, and they were always empty on their knees, and they couldn't explain it internally and externally.
In addition, Ji Sheng was pregnant herself, so she also opened the ban, and did not touch the pregnancy of Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen - as a result, all three of them gave birth to princesses.
Unfortunately, Xiaozong then fell ill, and then Ouyang Yanran said euphemistically, in fact, maybe Xiaozong was too politically suppressed by the Ji family, and he was disheartened and lost his mind with his concubine Qingqing; It may also be that the various things of the previous dynasty involved him too much energy, making him unable to cope with the harem...... In short, he never let the concubine conceive again, and died within a few years.
In this case, even if Ji Sheng wants a prince to be raised under his knees as an heir for the sake of himself, the Ji family, and the future of the royal family, there is no more.
Therefore, there is the matter of Chunjia becoming an heir.
"It's bloody!" Ye Guogong glanced at the indifferent Empress Dowager, and said coldly, "Although the Empress Dowager has no children under her knees, she is not only the Empress Dowager of Xiaozong, but also the niece of the Empress Dowager, so her position can be described as stable!" Even if you can't give birth to your eldest son, why don't you allow the sixth palace to have children?! ”
He pulled out the Empress Dowager Yuan again, "In the past, the king of Fuyang, how could it be that the wife of King Duan had no children for many years, and she relied on the adoption of concubines to become concubines after the death of King Duan?" According to your speculation, could it be that the thin heirs of Queen Duan's back yard are also due to the Queen Mother?! ”
"I'm going to ask you Ji!" Ouyang Yanran sneered, now that there is tension between the two sides, the last fig leaf has been pulled down, of course, he doesn't have to be too tactful to speak, he preached very directly, "You believe that you are an important minister trusted by the first emperor of Shenzong, and you despise the first emperor of Xiaozong, and the queen mother and queen mother are bewitched by Er, and often speak for the Ji family, which naturally makes the first emperor of Xiaozong disliked." Therefore, Emperor Xiaozong rarely went to the main palace, but from time to time he summoned other concubines from everyone...... If an ordinary concubine gives birth to a prince, it is okay, if it is a concubine from a high-born family, her position is enough to raise the imperial heir, and she also has her mother's family to rely on behind her, even if the queen mother is the mother-in-law, how can she not be jealous? ”
After all, Xiaozong is not stupid, he was weak and inexperienced at that time, and he couldn't fight the Ji family, so he couldn't help it
?
As an emperor, the three palaces and six courtyards are natural bargaining chips.
Therefore, although this son of heaven is very diligent and does not covet women, he has been hired several times after ascending the throne - yes, it is only a courtesy, and he has never been chosen.
After all, the most important purpose of filial piety to add people to the harem is neither for the heirs nor for beauty, but purely for the maiden family of these concubines.
And what he is trying to encircle is the kind of family that can compete with the queen mother and queen mother once he has a prince, so that the Ji family can no longer dominate the family, as for the ordinary concubines, they can be handled by Ji Sheng at will, and he has no time to pay attention to it at all.
In this way, Ji Sheng can't give birth to herself, and she can't give birth to those she can tolerate, and she can't give birth to those who can...... Can the heirs of filial piety be thin?
“…… These are just your one-sided words. Ye Guogong said expressionlessly, "It is ridiculous to condemn the Queen Mother for such a serious crime without evidence!! ”
Ouyang Yanran smiled and looked at Sun Yu: "Isn't Ye Guogong confused?" If there is no evidence, the people of the Imperial City Division will report this matter directly to the temple? ”
Of course, Sun Yu came with evidence, and it was very rich and conclusive, including but not limited to: various rewards with the seal of Mianfu Palace, the normal raccoon cats that were raised separately and the tanuki that were specially made difficult for women's children, as well as the places where they were placed, and the rest of the food.
There are also traces of Sun Yong's family, large and small, who have been taken care of by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother over the years.
The point is that the concubine Zheng Xiangchu has a small birth.
Although Zheng Shangchu was deposed as a concubine before her death, she was once Chunjia's concubine after all, and the fetus when she gave birth was a definite male fetus.
She is also the niece of the hussar general, today is the great dynasty, Zheng Guren is in the palace, hearing the words on the spot crying out of the ranks, with several of his sons and nephews who are also in the court, asking Chunjia to give his niece, the nephew who failed to land, a justice!
Zheng is revealing his true feelings at this time, although Zheng Gu knows that it was Yunfeng Huang who directly caused Zheng Shangchu to be killed, but if it weren't for Zheng Shangchu's pregnancy, it was a secret hand...... She gave birth smoothly and smoothly, and she must be the eldest son of the emperor.
In that case, Zheng Shangchu won't be able to keep his son, where will he have time to tease Chunjia's new favorite?
And with the eldest son of the emperor in hand, it is still a question whether Yun Fenghuang has the ability to force Zheng Shangchu to death.
No matter how much Chunjia loves her, she always has to consider the importance that the previous dynasty attached to the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's eldest son's biological mother, right?
In short, after this one was turned out, there was an uproar in the temple, but I didn't expect that Zheng Gu, the commander of the forbidden army who came out of the palace, and was called the ancestor by almost all the chamberlains in the palace, failed to keep the niece and son - Yun Fenghuan, who was listening to the news from the little chamberlain, almost couldn't control his face and changed!
Chunjia even found out about this???
Isn't the death of the concubine ???
She took a deep breath, suppressed her anxiety and panic, and let Chen Zhu continue to eavesdrop on the court meeting in front.
At the court meeting, along with the people of the Imperial City Division, there will be a piece of human evidence
The card was brought up, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
Ye Guogong's face was pale, and he couldn't stop looking at the empress dowager above - at this time, he suddenly heard a whimper, and everyone subconsciously followed the voice, but saw that among the clan girls, several young county lords and county lords were supporting an old woman dressed in a noble voice to comfort her.
The old woman clutched the handkerchief, looking like she would faint at any moment, and cried, "Pity that nephew in this palace!! When the imperial brother chose a concubine for him, who would not choose such a poisonous woman? ! ”
"Aunt Dongxing's grandmother mourns." Chunjia glanced at it, recognized it as Wei Zhaorong's grandmother, the eldest princess of Dongxing, softened her tone and persuaded a few words, looked sideways at the empress dowager who had not said a word from beginning to end, and said lightly: "Imperial grandmother, what do you think?" ”
The Empress Dowager looked at Xia Shou coldly, and after a moment, she asked in a hoarse voice: "Didn't you say that this matter also has something to do with the mourning family?" But I don't know, who did the mourning family murder? ”
"Where did the Imperial Grandmother hear the rumors?" Chunjia's voice was as gentle as before, like the gentleness of her own grandson, without the slightest resentment, "You are the mother of the first emperor and filial piety, how can you harm people?" It's also Sun Yu who is confused, and he didn't say it clearly, so you misunderstood. He actually wanted to say that Sun An originally wanted to ask you for mercy and save his life, but because the palace maid who helped spread the word didn't dare to speak, he pointed to the queen mother and the queen mother, and then there was something to happen...... How did it become the emperor's grandmother? ”
"The emperor's grandmother is the mother of the first emperor Xiaozong, will she deliberately let the first emperor become an heir?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you, and you are also kept in the dark."
"The first emperor Xiaozong has no children, so he can only let me become an heir, this, I know, you are the most sad in your heart, aren't you?"
The Empress Dowager didn't speak for a long time, but the human and material evidence below still came in the same way.
The people of the Ji clan have been completely silent.
Because things are here, no matter how much you question and refute, there is a sense of powerlessness in a dying struggle.
Chun Jiajian went sideways, and they were as defenseless as the last time the Chao clan turned against the water.
How to argue, how to argue, how to refute?
And they also felt in their hearts that this should be true.
Otherwise, why does Xiaozong have no children, Chunjia was also pregnant with a small birth before he became pro-government, and no imperial heir could be pregnant until October, but Chunjia has only been in power for many years, and now he has four sons and two daughters?
After a while, the Empress Dowager closed her eyes, and when she opened them, there was no emotion in her eyes, and said, "Since this is the case, the mourning family will go back first." ”
Chunjia said calmly: "Imperial grandmother, please slow down, such a big matter, I am young, but I don't dare to deal with it rashly, I have to ask the imperial grandmother to show it!" ”
"The mourning family is from the Ji family, and she is the aunt of the queen mother, what qualifications do you have now, show it to the emperor?" The Empress Dowager stood up and walked out, and said coldly, "The mourning family doesn't know now, how to go to see the ancestors of the Gongxiang clan?!" ”
Before the words fell, she suddenly pulled out a golden hairpin from her sleeve and stabbed it at her throat!
