Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 35 Calm

The next day, Hai Guanyu took Hai Congrui and entered the palace as scheduled. He first went to Zhongcui Palace to see Hai Ruoxin, so he left his son there, and hurried to the Qinzheng Palace without bothering to talk a few more words to his granddaughter. has been an official for decades, how could he not know the temperament of the king, don't look at Feng Wuxian since he ascended the throne, he has never severely punished the officials of the DPRK and China, but he may not have no plan in his heart. This time, I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager Xiao won't want to keep the Xiao family.
"Wechen knocks to see the emperor." Haiguanyu bowed to the ground and kowtowed, he was originally a person who had a decree to exempt himself from courtesy, but at this moment, he did not dare to be presumptuous, and still respectfully acted according to the courtesy.
"Hai Lao Aiqing is flat!" From Feng Wuxi's words, Hai Guanyu couldn't hear any hints, so when he sat down, he was still thinking about the words he had thought of a long time ago.
"I said it bluntly, you also saw it yesterday, Xiao Yunchao is overkill, and he intends to rebel, which is really disappointing. Although he finally repented and apologized for his sin, the crime of rebellion was not trivial, and if he did not deal with it, he was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public. I asked Prince Yu what he meant before, and now I also ask you what you mean, what exactly should I do with the Xiao family? Feng Wuxian said straightforwardly, but he rubbed the small golden cylinder given by the emperor in his hand, as if he was still thinking about gains and losses.
Haiguanyu bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, the emperor can decide this matter with a word." If you want to please the Queen Mother, you can naturally let the Xiao family live; If the emperor wants to correct the national law and follow suit with pride, then he can be severely punished, although it is not too much to exterminate the clan. Although he is extremely cautious on weekdays, he also knows that the emperor's mother and son have a grudge at this time, so he no longer hesitates, "The Queen Mother is the daughter of the Xiao family." Now it is also unspeakably expensive: but when it comes to monarchs and ministers, the queen mother is the king, and the Xiao family is the minister. disposed of them in accordance with the laws of the country, and the Queen Mother had nothing to say. But it may be against the emperor's filial piety. β
Feng Wuxian stared at the old minister deeply, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, you sea view feather, this perfunctory kung fu is really good, let's talk about it." You've left me with your burden! He saw that Hai Guanyu's face was terrified, as if he wanted to stand up and apologize, so he waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "I don't mean to blame you, this time I am incompetent, and it has nothing to do with you and others." As a human king, there are many examples of villains and traitors taking advantage of them and losing their lives, and I am lucky to get out of danger, so I have to set rules for future generations. β
He stood up and said proudly. "The Xiao clan only has Xiao Yunchao's son now, but they are just some squishy disciples, so what's the point if I use them to open the knife? I heard that the Criminal Department and the Shuntian Mansion have long been stacked high. Take this opportunity to rectify the situation, and the crime will be sentenced first, and they will not be able to escape their lives. The son of this kind of wealthy family is still more shocking! As for the children of the Xiao family's side branches. I originally wanted to raise it, but now it seems that even if they can earn a future on their own, they will also have the stage to advance in the future. Feng Wuxian snorted coldly, obviously completely overturning the original decision.
"Then how is the queen mother going to be there?" Hai Guanyu still couldn't help asking, "The Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother and the queen of the first emperor, and her status is indescribably honorable." If the Queen Mother insists on protecting ......"
"What the Queen Mother wants to protect is the future of the Xiao family, not Xiao Yunchao and his stupid sons!" Feng Wuji's face changed several times, and in the end, he still said casually, "Although Xiao Yunchao's reckless actions this time, if it weren't for the connivance of the Queen Mother, which made Xiao Yunchao have the opportunity to overkill, things would not have come to this point." I have already been lenient with the Xiao family, if I want to promote other side disciples, what will the important ministers of the court think? He seemed to suddenly remember something, and then instructed Hai Guanyu, "Hai Lao Aiqing, the Queen Mother is now temporarily living in the Queen's Kunning Palace, you will visit later, and by the way, tell her my decision." If she still has any grievances, I will have to explain it to her in person! β
Xiao sat in the Kunning Palace in a daze, Hai Guanyu's words seemed to be extremely far away, and every word in her ears was like a bluestone flowing without a trace. It's really a joke, she always thought that she held her brother firmly in her hands, and she knew everything she did, but she didn't expect him to break into such a disaster in the end. Perhaps, the Xiao family was born with an adventurous nature, otherwise, they would not have done such crazy things back then. "It's all days, it's all days......" she muttered to herself suddenly.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother!" Haiguanyu saw that Xiao's face was stunned, and hurriedly called twice, but he couldn't help but be very worried in his heart. It is not a good thing that the emperor's mother and son are out of harmony, over the years, he has seen that the relationship between Feng Wuxian and the Xiao family has changed from cold to warm, but now that he has been stirred up by Xiao Yunchao, the Xiao family's hard work when the first emperor died was in vain. "Queen Mother, that's what the emperor means, what else do you have to disagree with?"
Xiao Shi raised his head and glanced at Hai Guanyu coldly, with a chill in his words. "The emperor has already opened the net, what else can the mourning family say? Now that Xiao Yunchao is dead, and his sons are all unsuccessful, if it weren't for them clamoring behind their backs, how could they make so many troubles! Kill it, kill it, these bales are dead! A look of disgust appeared on her face, and seeing that Hai Guanyu seemed to be a little surprised, she continued, "Lord Hai, you are now a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and you should also know some things in your heart. The emperor is not a good landlord, the Hai family is now following in the footsteps of the Xiao family, although you will be able to keep your eyes on it, but the Hai family's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and this force should not be used by people with intentions. β
Xiao's words can be said to have hit Hai Guanyu's mind, however, at this time, he is bound not to reveal a trace of emotion, so he agreed respectfully at the moment. When Rouping was sent out, Haiguanyu commanded in a low voice: "Rouping, you are the queen mother's confidant, you have to persuade her a lot, as long as the Xiao family has talents, they may be able to stand on top of the court in the future, and they must not conflict with the emperor again." Alas, don't be profited by fishermen! He didn't care whether Rouping understood it or not, and walked slowly by himself, his figure was very sluggish.
In the Pure Concubine Wang's Dishouning Palace, there was also a tense and solemn atmosphere at this time. Prince Zhuang's so-called last order of the first emperor that day has been confirmed to be a forgery, but it is clearly written on the top that if the emperor has an accident, the thirteen princes will succeed to the throne. When the Empress Dowager Xiao and the Emperor and Empress learned of the contents, they were all deeply shocked. The Wang family has been quite favored since the late years of the first emperor, but he acts very low-key on weekdays, and his popularity among the palace concubines is also very good. After the Xiao family was in the middle palace, she never lacked a little courtesy, and even when the Xiao family was promoted to the queen mother, she also served every day, and she never lost. Such a rule-abiding concubine was involved in this rebellion case, how could the emperor not be surprised?
At this time, Queen Hai Ruoxin was standing coldly in Shouning Palace, talking about etiquette, Wang is the emperor's concubine, but if it is about palace rules, the queen mother is the queen, so even if He Xueming is a concubine who is congratulating the imperial concubine, she wants to salute when she sees Hai Ruoxin, not to mention that the Wang family is a concubine with no background?
"Concubine Chun, this palace asks you at the behest of the emperor, Prince Zhuang acted in an overbearing manner, which mentioned that the thirteen princes of the first emperor succeeded to the throne, what do you justify this? As the concubine of the first emperor, you don't want to repay the favor of the first emperor, so that you can live and keep festivals, but collude with the vassal king with bad intentions, what crime should you be guilty of? Hai Ruoxin shouted in a deep voice, a very faint light flashing in her eyes. In her opinion, a bewitching woman like the Wang family is not a person who is willing to be lonely, I really don't know why the first emperor frequently favored this woman that day, and even left a son in his later years. According to Hai Ruoxin's heart, a will was given to this woman to be clean, but in any case, the Wang family also has the title of concubine, not a low-level concubine, and it is unreasonable to die violently, otherwise there would be no trouble today.
The Wang family, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately knelt down with tears in his eyes and said: "Queen Mother, since the death of the first emperor, the concubines have all spent their days in Shouning Palace to worship the Buddha, and have never handed over to outsiders. If Prince Zhuang is really pretentious, he just looks at Wujiu, this child is young and can be relied on as a puppet, and it is categorically not instructed by the concubine, please let the queen know it! She bumped her head heavily and peeked at Hai Ruoxin's face. After all, she is a concubine in her name, and she has not met with this queen a few times, and her temper and temperament are not very clear, so she is more and more worried in her heart.
"Hmph, you're pushing clean." Hai Ruoxin smiled coldly, but she really couldn't find fault with the other party's words. Whether it is the worship room or the guards guarding the imperial city, no one found that the people in Shouning Palace have any signs of going out, and the Wang family has always worshiped Buddha in the palace, and it is rare to go out to hang out at another concubine's place. Not only that, the eunuchs and palace maids of the entire Shouning Palace were all interrogated, and the big sticks were also broken a few, but they didn't ask for any clues. Although Hai Ruoxin knew that it was not difficult to falsify evidence, she also wanted to take care of the royal dignity after all, so although she was not relaxed on her lips, she wanted to wait for the emperor to make a final decision in her heart.
"Concubine Chun, you are an elder, and this palace doesn't want to treat you harshly. However, this time the matter is not trivial, if you don't have a reasonable explanation, not only the palace, but even the queen mother will not be able to get by. That's all for today, you are also from the Xiangmen, write a good excerpt by yourself, and then the palace will send someone to pick it up. Hai Ruoxin's tone changed, and her expression suddenly became gentler. She had already removed all the eunuchs and palace maids here, and inevitably taught them a few more lessons, and then she left Shouning Palace.
The Wang family was a little relieved when Hai Ruoxin left, but fortunately, what Feng Wulin had done before was extremely secretive, and even her personal palace maid didn't know very well. During the days they had been hiding here, they had eaten and eaten on the dry food they had brought with them, so they didn't show any flaws. And although the two of them had a tryst in the Changqing Palace from time to time, as early as after Feng Wulin faked her death and got out, she took the opportunity to kill everyone in the know, so everyone in the palace thought she was a tranquil master. It's a pity that this time the queen replaced everyone, and her efforts were in vain.
In any case, she had to step through this hurdle, whether it was for herself or for Feng Wujiu, otherwise, everything would be over. Lingyun Zhiwei Traceless Chapter 9 Jiangshan Chapter 35 Calm
