Chapter 6: The Empress Dowager of the Red Chamber (6)
"Mama Qiao, you can keep this decree for the time being!
Don't rush to issue it first, wait until a while to order them to move out of the Chengen Mansion together! ”
Although Qiao Mu had already made the big decision to divide her mother's family, she didn't mean to give up immediately, and she didn't have to wait any longer.
Besides, the information that Tu Minghui sent over in the morning was only relatively superficial information, which basically belonged to the information that anyone could find out.
"No!"
The female commander is only responsible for drafting the decree, and the things issued are not under their control, so after writing it, they sent the decree to Mama Qiao.
Mama Qiao held Yizhi, and heard Qiao Mu's command again, and immediately said yes!
……
Zhen family
Zhen Yingjia's face was gloomy, and she came back in a hurry, and as soon as she entered the mansion, she immediately ordered:
"Send more people out, invite all the Beijing officials of my Zhen family to come over, and prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!"
While speaking, Zhen Yingjia had already hurriedly walked to the study, and he wanted to write a letter to pass on the relevant things back, and inform the principal clan in Jinling to clean up their hands and leave no traces.
At the same time, he had to tell his mother, that is, Mrs. Fengsheng, the real Dinghai Divine Needle of their Zhen family, the grandmother of the Emperor Taishang.
Let his mother intercede with the Emperor.
Half an hour later, the two letters were written, and Zhen Yingjia called the useful people and ordered them to send the letters back to Jinling immediately.
At this time, the officials of the Zhen family also arrived one after another, in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, they did not discuss things in the lobby or other places, but specially entered a secret room of the Zhen family to discuss the situation.
In the secret room
Zhen Yingrong, who was still a little confused, looked around with some confusion and asked:
"Big brother, what the hell is going on?
Why do you have to come here to discuss things?
Could it be that something big is wrong? ”
"Sit it all down for me!
Today, you should all know about the Emperor Taishang recruiting me to go, Your Majesty may be going to do something to our family, there has always been the Emperor Taishang pressing, so Your Majesty doesn't dare to do anything to us!
However, this time, the emperor couldn't hold it down! ”
Zhen Yingjia knocked on the back of the chair, her voice was very low, and she said helplessly.
"How...... How so?
Isn't it bad to be too emperor? ”
Zhen Yinghui was a little panicked.
The three princes of their family have not succeeded in usurping the throne, how can the emperor not be good?
"Shut up, dare to say this kind of nonsense!
This time, His Majesty didn't know why, but he actually said that he had moved the Empress Dowager to help, and with the Empress Dowager standing behind him, even the Empress Dowager would not be able to stop him!
We're in big trouble!
Just in case......"
Zhen Yingjia was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"It's not big brother, you're not confused, are you?
Hasn't the Empress Dowager been in charge of affairs for nearly twenty years?
Oh my God!
If you hadn't just mentioned it, I would have thought that the Empress Dowager would have ascended to heaven!
That's right, it seems that there has been no state funeral for the Queen Mother, but how could the Queen Mother, who has always been careless, suddenly be moved by His Majesty's words? ”
"Can what the Emperor himself said wrong?
Don't interrupt me, what I'm about to say is very important, quite important, Your Majesty should have already started to send someone to investigate our family's mistakes, you must erase all those past mistakes!
Erase them all, do you hear clearly? ”
Zhen Yingjia glared at his younger brother, his voice couldn't help but be a little louder, and he emphasized it again.
"The Empress Dowager?
Big brother, you say, can we attack the Empress Dowager's maiden family? ”
Zhen Yingrong thought about it for a while, felt very unwilling, and couldn't help but have a bad idea,
"Shut up, why aren't you stupid!
Do you think our family has had enough?
If you really do this, the Empress Dowager will not have to fight with our family, if she really leaves her face to deal with us, who can hold it down! ”
Zhen Yingjia was almost stupid to cry by her younger brother, they haven't dealt with the Queen Mother yet, and the Queen Mother is already going to help deal with them, if they attack the Queen Mother's maiden family again, wouldn't it be looking for death!
It would be fine if their Zhen family was innocent, but their family is now at fault, and they are not looking for death.
"Big brother! But there are so many mistakes in us that we can't wipe them clean!
Some time ago, I also stuck nearly one million taels of salt tax, but I didn't get a cent of that money, and I gave it to the third prince! ”
Zhen Yingrong was told by his brother, and he also scratched his head in some distress, feeling that things were still quite difficult, because their family had really done a lot of things to help the three princes born to their sister over the years, and when they were short of money, they thought of any way to make money everywhere.
Make money!
How many are not illegal.
Accepting bribes, buying officials and selling lords, helping to deal with cases and fishing for people, intercepting salt taxes, and deducting disaster relief funds in some places......
There are so many things to do, and it's really too many and complicated, and it's hard to completely erase them.
"It must be smoothed!
When necessary, you can push more important people out to prevent disasters, don't feel distressed, if you can't smooth out these things, when the time comes, I can only give up on the two of you and push the two of you out! ”
Zhen Yingjia has the confidence to say these words.
Because he is not only the head of the family, he really did not interfere in the various affairs of the Zhen family, although he knew everything about the situation, and even many things he planned secretly, but he really never interfered personally.
Ostensibly, he is clean.
Therefore, if the real strong man cut his wrists and gave up his younger brothers, then even if all the charges are exposed, he will be able to whitewash most of himself and not die.
However, it is clear that it has not yet reached that point, so there is still room for manoeuvre.
"Big brother, you ......
Okay, I'll try my best! ”
Zhen Yingrong was angry at first, but then he also knew that he had no choice but to acquiesce.
I'm ready to go back and start exonerating.
Zhen Yinghui didn't speak, but she nodded.
After this discussion, their Zhen family did not delay for almost a second, and as soon as they went back, they immediately began to exonerate themselves, and there were some things that there was really no way to get rid of, so they quickly pushed out some children from the family to take the crime, close the case, and close the case.
If Tu Minghui hadn't prepared before, maybe he could really be mixed up by them, but he didn't want to think about it, Tu Minghui hated their Zhen family to the core, how could he not collect evidence in advance, collect the facts of their crimes, and destroy it now, it would have been too late.
That night, Tu Minghui not only sent all the details of his imperial grandmother's family to Ci'an Palace, but also picked up some relevant criminal facts of the Zhen family and sent them together.
Then, he waited quietly.
Waiting for him the imperial grandmother to rage.
