Chapter 298: Incident Fermentation
At the Qing Talks, everyone showed great disdain for Lan Wan'er, and looked at Lan Wan'er as if they had seen street rats.
As soon as the words of the second prince came out, they sparked whispers from several scholars below, and they still couldn't accept a woman's participation in the Qing Talks.
"We don't have any women at the meeting!"
"Yes, it's unprecedented, it's an insult to our Qing Tan Society."
"When did the meeting fall to the point of participating with a woman...... This kind of exchange meeting is really unacceptable! β
Everyone gossiped and expressed their dissatisfaction with Lan Xuan'er.
When Lan Wan'er heard these words, she only felt extremely harsh, but she felt very touched in her heart, the prejudice against this woman was too great, in modern times, they would have been drowned by the spitting stars.
At this time, the prince got up, walked to the middle of the table, took his collar, looked at Lan Wan'er in front of him with a smile, and nodded at her.
Then, the prince's gaze fell on Wei Xuanyun, and he said, "Fellow comrades, don't be impatient, listen to me." β
The crown prince took the initiative to speak for Lan Xuan'er, which once again shocked these scholars, and they glanced at Lan Xuan'er a few times, not knowing what kind of identity could make the two eldest princes speak for her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is indeed unprecedented for a woman to participate in the Talks, but since she was invited to come here, she must have some skills, and when she comes to the Talks, we do not distinguish between dignity and inferiority or gender, if we still distinguish between these, wouldn't it be the same as those laymen and vulgar talks."
These words made the following scholars fall into deep thought.
"Yes, that makes sense......"
"Hmm...... I agree. β
The crown prince expressed his support for Lan Xuan'er, and the scholars below also changed their tone, which was much better than Fang Cai's radical target, and their faces looked much gentler.
Wei Xuanyun raised her eyes and looked at the prince, picked up a black ceramic teacup, took a sip, and thanked her eyes.
"Prince Xie." Lan Wan'er also nodded slightly to the prince.
Although she didn't understand why the crown prince and the second prince wanted to help her, at least she also helped herself solve the current predicament, so she still has to say a word of thanks.
"Since this girl has been invited to Qingtan, then I have a question for you."
An old man who was slightly older stood up and stood opposite several people, his old body was slumped, but his body exuded a sage atmosphere.
Lan Xuan'er looked at Wei Xuanyun and saw him nodding slightly.
She let out a deep breath, she was not afraid, the more others questioned, the more she wanted to show herself and prove that this era was not a patriarchal era.
"Sir, may you ask?"
Lan Wan'er opened her mouth with a soft smile, which made people feel very comfortable in their hearts, with a confident smile on her face.
The second prince also looked at Lan Wan'er with great interest, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a little curiosity in his eyes.
"The old man had a dream last night, and the person in the dream told the old man that after a person dies, the bones will turn into a mass of qi, so what does this qi refer to?"
As soon as this old man opened his mouth, it aroused the discussion and discussion of other scholars, and they were also very interested in this topic, after all, the Qing Conference did not discuss state affairs, government affairs, trivial matters of life, and discussed philosophy and metaphysics.
Lan Wan'er pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and pondered, ready to answer.
At this time, a scholar got up and answered the question for Lan Xuan'er, and before she could show herself, her question had already been answered.
"......" Lan Xuan'er pursed her lips and winked at Wei Xuanyun aggrievedly.
Wei Xuanyun took Lan Xuan'er's hand, asked her to sit down, and poured her a cup of tea.
Such a thing happened in this Qing Talks, and it was skillfully solved by the second prince and the crown prince, but fortunately, there was no radical discussion with those old men.
The next day, the crown prince went to court as usual, and a round of early sun shone on the palace wall, and the walls and cornices were illuminated brightly, as if plated with a layer of golden light, which was particularly brilliant and magnificent.
He held his neck high, walked vigorously, wore court clothes, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Behind a red palace wall walked a row of small palace maids, all of them carrying small food boxes in their hands, tiptoeing along, as if they were discussing something.
"Hey, have you all heard?" A little palace maid lowered her head, covered her mouth and whispered, while looking to the side with her head down.
"What!"
"It's still the Han family's business, I heard that the matter between Han Jihu and that Hua Dan has been hammered!"
"Tsk, that Yu Guifei......"
"What do you say! Don't you want your head anymore! β
The leading grandmother heard the discussion of several palace maids, and scolded angrily, with a vicious face and a pair of slender eyes with boredom and anger.
Several palace maids bowed their heads in a muffled voice.
The crown prince passed by several palace maids, and when he heard the words from their mouths, his face was gloomy for a while, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.
Han Jihu's incident suddenly fermented, and now it has also spread to the harem, and now the palace people in the palace will also discuss Hua Dan's suicide in private, and they are all talking about Han Jihu.
And the crown prince's reputation was also directly affected.
Every time he walked past a palace wall, he would hear someone whispering behind him.
"I heard that the crown prince is Han Jihu's cousin."
"Really...... That's going to be miserable, tsk......"
In the palace, you can hear other people's discussions everywhere.
The prince's face was not good-looking, and he went to the court as usual with a gloomy face, and when he walked outside the main hall, many ministers saw that the prince was taking a detour, and those who liked to talk to him on weekdays also retreated one by one.
"Prince, have you heard about the recent events?"
The eunuch next to him stood beside the prince and asked him cautiously.
From the time the prince entered the palace to the present, it seemed that he had discovered something, and when he heard those remarks about Han Jihu, he knew that it was still the previous thing.
He pursed his lips, and there was a wave of hatred in his heart.
He is now unable to move an inch in the DPRK, and with the stubble of Han Jihu, his reputation has also been pushed to the forefront, as if he did that thing himself.
Thinking like this, the prince couldn't help but clench his fists.
"The emperor has arrivedβ" Only a soft eunuch voice was heard.
I saw a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe walking from the side of the hall, his face was grim, with the breath and majesty of a king, and after walking to the dragon chair, he sat down directly and inspected it.
The ministers at the bottom of the stairs prostrate and bow.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The emperor nodded, his face tepid.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat."
From the time the prince entered the main hall, he felt that the atmosphere was very wrong, as if a few pairs of eyes had been staring at him, and he was thinking about the rumors he heard today, and his heart was overturned.
"Your Majesty, today's ministers have a book!"
An old minister held a white jade bamboo slip in his hand, slightly offered his hand, his face was serious, and he pursed his lips and glanced at the prince standing in front.
Hearing this, the prince's heart trembled.
Sure enough, today is not destined to be peaceful.
"Aiqing, please speak."
The emperor waved his sleeves, looking serious.
The ministers behind him also looked at the old minister standing in front.
"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the son of the Han family, Han Jihu and Hua Dan committed suicide, after investigation, this matter is inseparable from Han Jihu, presumably the prince also knows, right?" The old minister said word by word, his words cold.
This sentence was undoubtedly like a knife, piercing straight into the prince's heart, making him tremble in his heart, it was really the matter of the unpromising Han Jihu.
After hearing this, the emperor squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the prince, and then asked Gonggong Li to present the recital in the old minister's hand.
The prince's eyes looked straight at the recital, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and look nervously.
After the emperor read the recital, Long Yan was furious.
"Ridiculous......
Then, other ministers also condemned Han Jihu.
Today, in the last dynasty, all the chapters are about the death of Han Jihu and Hua Dan.
The prince looked at the hateful expressions of those ministers, and couldn't help but sweat in his heart, not to mention how much he hated Han Jihu in his heart, but he was helpless because he was his cousin, and he really had no way.
The palace has exploded, and the Han Jihu incident continues to ferment.
The prince's reputation was damaged, and the court was full of grievances.
At the same time, the Han family also received the news.
At this time, Han Jihu has undoubtedly become an ant on a hot pot, and he is already restless.
"Childe, what can I do!" A little servant paced back and forth in the room, his worried face wrinkled, and he tapped his hands back and forth.
Han Jihu was also irritable, and threw the teacup on the table, making a loud noise, and the tea inside also squirted out.
"That's it! There is no other way now, the old man doesn't know about this yet, and now only we can strike first! Han Jihu stood up, no longer having the leisurely appearance of the past.
"Childe, how to do it?!"
After that, Han Jihu waved his hand, let the little guy over, whispered in his ear, said something, and told the little guy his plan.
Then, the little guy hurriedly nodded and left.
In order to drown out this matter, Han Jihu quickly arranged Hua Dan's scandal and slandered that Hua Dan's death had nothing to do with him.
But something like this happened, and it happened that at this time, Han Jihu arranged the Hua Dan scandal again, and it was immediately exposed.
"Tut, tell me, thanks to the Han family, there is such a big backer, and the Han family's Han Jihu is really a playboy, this person's life...... It's like a straw in someone's hands! β
In a downtown area, a few little brothers sat in front of the stall and discussed.
"Isn't it...... The Han family has the support of the crown prince and the concubine, but the harem will definitely not involve the front...... Perhaps, this is the prince's idea! β
Another little brother picked up the bowl and drank a bowl of soup in a big gulp, sighing about this.
And this time, Han Jihu's orchestration scandal was rumored to be the prince's idea, but he shot himself in the foot.
