Chapter 223: Marriage 4
"Yuan Ying-" Empress Dowager Feng shouted loudly, desperately rushing towards the 'eunuch' who was lifting his pants, Xie Yao dodged and coldly blocked the middle of the two.
Empress Dowager Feng paused, then stopped and scolded Yuan Ying through Xie Yao: "This palace has treated you well all these years!" Why did you frame Hongu? Who are you instructed to do, and are you lurking around this palace for today? β
Yuan Ying knelt down under the accusation of Empress Dowager Feng, walked to the foot of Empress Dowager Feng's skirt on her knees, grabbed her skirt and said: "Empress Dowager, we can't hide it, several people have died, don't ...... anymore"
Empress Dowager Feng was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she took several steps back.
In the end, she "snapped" a slap and overturned Yuan Ying, and Yuan Ying was prostrate on the ground with a weak look.
"The Queen Mother doesn't have to play anymore!" Feng Chen said: "Yuan Ying used to be the person you asked for from the first emperor, and he has been with you for many years, and he is your most favored chamberlain, which is a well-known fact in the imperial court. The Queen Mother is saying these things now, who is she trying to blame? β
The emperor was also furious: "The queen mother behaves so badly, how can I sit idly by!" I want to show you mercy, so I killed a few minions who shielded you to be a warning, who knows that you have no remorse, and today you make a big fuss about it! β
Empress Dowager Feng was choked, and at this moment, she knew that she had been calculated to death! She looked at Yuan Ying who was crying on the ground in horror, and looked at Fengchen in disgust.
Bai Jinyu was also a little stunned when she looked at the scene in front of her, she glanced at the audience, there was no foreign minister, it seemed that Feng Chen and Feng Hua had already planned to expose this royal 'scandal' on this occasion.
"Heh," Empress Dowager Feng smiled coldly, pointed at Feng Hua and said: "I misbehaved, did you do well, you changed the route to the concubine's maiden house on the way to worship the ancestors, isn't it wrong?" β
"Is there such a thing?!"
As soon as Empress Dowager Feng said this, the princes and grandsons in the audience, and even some princes who had been staying out of the way to watch the play, couldn't sit still.
Feng Hua immediately retorted: "I only went on the return trip!" The concubine's maiden home happened to be on the way, and the concubine married into the palace and never returned home for a year......"
Empress Dowager Feng was furious and said: "If she wants to save her relatives, she can choose another day, does the emperor take the civil and military officials to the Taimiao Dynasty to meet the ancestors and ancestors, or 'meet' a father-in-law?" β
"I feel distressed if I haven't returned to the emperor for a year?" King Zheng on the side immediately subtly indigned: "Which of the princes here has not left Chang'an since he was sixteen years old, and which one has not been unable to return to his homeland for many years?" Why haven't you seen the royal brother so considerate of his own brother? β
Bai Jinyu looked at King Zheng sideways, but he didn't expect that he would be quite good at using the topic to play, just like that, it caught people's hearts, and many princes began to empathize and nodded yes.
Seeing that the situation was reversed, Empress Dowager Feng let go, she walked towards Feng Hua step by step, looked up gloomily and said, "Do you think I don't know something?" Want to take me down? You're too naΓ―ve! β
She sneered faintly: "A prince who was once deposed by the first emperor, how could the first emperor entrust the country in the end...... Do you dare to make the edict of the first emperor public?! β
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, the audience was silent.
Even Feng Hua and Feng Chen were stunned.
Half a day.
The golden-clothed prince in the seat stood up, saluted the emperor and the queen mother, and persuaded the queen mother with kind words: "Forgive the recklessness of the minister, the queen mother's words are abrupt, it is related to the reputation of the country, the emperor and the first emperor, please take it back!" β
Bai Jinyu smiled in her heart, what kind of person is this? What are you talking about?
On the surface, it is high-sounding, but in fact, I wish things were getting bigger and bigger. Withdraw? How do you take back what you say? If he really wants to calm things down, just don't speak, this time he stood up, he simply forced Empress Dowager Feng to continue talking!
"King Ning, this palace is not old, and he will never say this for no reason!" Empress Dowager Feng said with an awe-inspiring expression.
King Ning?! Bai Jinyu couldn't help but glance at the man more, after all, Ning Wang Fenglin was also a prestigious virtuous king of the Great Zheng Dynasty, and he was sealed in the Jianghuai area, with good governance and a good reputation.
The scene began to be a little commotion, the first emperor deposed the crown prince Fenghua and replaced the prince of the Empress Dowager Feng was a major event that once shook the government and the opposition. It's a pity that the new prince was not blessed, and he drove to the west at a young age, and the first emperor never set up a prince until his death. It wasn't until he died suddenly that Qin Jian, a member of the Zhongshu House, took out a testament to several cabinet ministers and announced the succession of the abolished crown prince Fenghua.
This matter has always been a lot of concern in the government and the opposition, and when the Empress Dowager Feng said these words, it immediately stirred the nerves of many people, and some older princes asked the Empress Dowager directly: "The sons are confused, and please explain it to the Empress Dowager." β
The atmosphere became more and more wrong, Bai Jinyu couldn't help but glance sideways at Feng Chen, but unexpectedly, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of King Zheng observing her, so she was extremely cooperative and showed a hint of schadenfreude to Feng Chen.
The Queen Mother smiled: "Yanming? Thanks to the gift of others, this palace has not been fortunate enough to see the edict, how to say? β
There was a lot of discussion in the hall.
"What, the Queen Mother hasn't seen the edict?"
"I don't know, I always thought that the queen mother was the gatekeeper of the succession!"
β¦β¦
In the midst of the discussion, Empress Dowager Feng continued: "This palace only knows that there are few prime ministers who have seen the edict in the past, who have been degraded, killed, and resigned, and there are very few left!" β
Empress Dowager Feng's voice fell, and Bai Jinyu heard Feng Chen sigh softly in his chest.
In response to the Queen Mother's accusations, Feng Hua angrily reprimanded: "This is wrong! They were demoted and exiled for a reason, but because they were the ministers of the edict, should I not ask them for their guilt? β
At this point, the Queen Mother and the Emperor have quarreled completely regardless of decency!
The crowd exploded.
At this time, King Ning said cautiously: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, please take care of your noble body, the ministers can't bear to see the Queen Mother and Your Majesty speak fiercely." Your Majesty, what are the facts...... Brother dare to ask Your Majesty to invite the edict of the first emperor out, and you can go to the world in broad daylight! β
"Bold!" Feng Hua roared like thunder.
King Ning immediately walked out of his position and knelt on the ground.
King Ning's kneeling, although he blocked the discussion that had not stopped, but under this silence, more people had doubts about Feng Hua.
Feng Hua rebuked King Ning: "You dare to ask me to take out the edict of the first emperor?!" Do? You're questioning me just like this unruly woman! Right?! β
Empress Dowager Feng was furious: "Feng Hua! You slander Hongu! β
King Ning buried his head deep in the ground, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "The younger brother is stupid, the younger brother does not dare, please forgive His Majesty the Emperor!" β
In a pot of messy stew, Bai Jinyu's heart was bright, this King Ning was probably a master.
He was dressed in noble clothes and known as a virtuous prince, prostrate on the ground and kowtowed, this picture really aroused people's righteous indignation and sympathy, making people unconsciously resentful of Emperor Fenghua.
