Chapter 293: The Grievance of the Great Prince (2)
The dispute between the queen and Cao Tingyu was to be investigated to the queen Qianqiu last year, and it was indeed too serious at that time.
At that time, Cao Tingyue was only a thousand households, but he also provoked another thousand households in Dongchang to come to the rescue.
The queen and Dongchang made such a fuss, and the emperor stood directly on the side of Dongchang, almost telling the queen not to come to the stage.
But no matter what, the final winner of this matter is Cao Tingyu, since he won, shouldn't it be good, where can he really continue to hold grudges.
It's hard for others to say, but when it comes to Dongchang, the queen is a little uncertain.
Because everyone acquiesces, those eunuchs in the East Factory are just small-bellied chicken intestines and will be repaid.
Mama Li said, "The old slave thinks that Cao Zhangxing is not like such a person. ”
The queen shook her head, "Who knows this." ”
Mama Li thought for a while, "Your Majesty discussed this matter with him, and he will definitely not forget what happened between him and Niangniang before, he is so valued by His Majesty now, and in the end, it is all dependent on His Majesty's gifts, if His Majesty thinks that he is useless one day, I am afraid that I don't know how he died." Mama Li's voice lowered, "You also know that this East Factory has always been a place where people eat people." ”
That's true.
The queen's heart relaxed slightly, "So? ”
Mama Li said, "So, even if it is to show His Majesty, he is so selfless, he will definitely not deliberately slander Niangniang or anything in front of His Majesty, and even, maybe he will think about deliberately elevating his identity in front of His Majesty, and he will speak for Niangniang." ”
The queen smiled, "Mama still thinks he will speak for the palace?" ”
Mama Li shook her head, "The old slave is not sure, but the old slave just thinks that Niangniang really doesn't need to worry about the previous things, to put it bluntly, this Cao Tingyue is also a slave of the heavenly family in the end, he doesn't dare to do these things." ”
The queen sighed, "Although he didn't dare, His Majesty was already suspicious, and when the time came, he couldn't tell the difference, but I was afraid that it would be impossible to tell." ”
Mama Li didn't think it would be like this, "Niangniang, this Cao Ting has become more and more punished, I'm afraid that everyone in Dongchang is eyeing him, and everyone is afraid that they are looking at him with their eyes open, and they see that he is relying on Ji Jia's snort, because he is his godson, so His Majesty gives face, or because he is really capable, you said that now that this matter is in his hands, it is the time when he can prove himself well in front of His Majesty, as long as he is not stupid, he will not let it go." And we know that Uncle Guo didn't do this at all, it's the matter of the eldest prince, so the mother can rest assured. ”
Mama Li added tea to the queen, "When the time comes, it will definitely come out, and the eldest prince will definitely be unable to escape the responsibility." ”
The queen sighed, went to serve tea again, put it to her lips and sipped it, "I hope so." ”
There is no such thing as an airtight wall.
Since the last incident, the eldest prince still secretly released people in the imperial study.
This person must not be the one who serves in front of the palace, in the end, the one who serves in front of the palace has to be strictly screened, and it is estimated that it is impossible for him to buy such a person.
So he could only bribe a eunuch in the corner, but this eunuch said today, His Majesty found Cao Zhangxing from Dongchang to talk secretly for a long time, and the queen in the middle came to visit, and the words "big prince" were vaguely passed out, but the details were unknown.
It's just that it didn't take long for the queen to come out of it angrily, and after a while, she saw Cao Zhangxing coming out in a hurry, as if she had some task, and left in a hurry.
This content can be said to be very informative. For example, although it is common for people from Dongchang to have secret talks with His Majesty, it seems that it is not so simple when the queen intervenes in it.
Moreover, the queen was angry, whether it was because of a conflict with the emperor or a conflict with Dongchang.
No one knows this, and we can't jump to conclusions.
The eldest prince felt strange, the emperor and the people of Dongchang, even the empress, these three people would talk together, what would they say, and they would mention him?
Since there is suspicion, it is natural to call someone to investigate, and this inquiry is unavoidable, because I am afraid that other things have not yet been known, but - Cao Tingyue has recently supervised the investigation of the case of poisoning in the Second Prince's Mansion, but it was very easy to find out.
The poisoning of the two princes' mansions was full of wind and rain at that time, of course the eldest prince knew, and he gloated at the time, but he didn't expect that this matter would be involved with himself.
This echoed inside and out, and he actually almost understood, and the eldest prince was almost shooting, "So, you mean, my father doubts me?" He spoke in a tone of disbelief, "Father thinks this has something to do with me?" ”
The strategists around him were naturally not easy to say, but all kinds of signs showed that this seemed to be the case.
The most important thing that Cao Tingyue is supervising at the moment is this matter, and the queen is involved in it, needless to say, she can't run, it's this matter, and when she was talking about this matter, she actually mentioned herself......
The eldest prince stood up and paced back and forth, he also knew that he had been framed for this matter, and it was really impossible to explain it, after all, to put it bluntly, this matter was indeed the only one who had the motive and benefit.
The eldest prince frowned, "What kind of poison did you have?" But have you found it? ”
The counselor said, "The preaching is the ups and downs, but what is the situation, our people...... It's gone. ”
The eldest prince knew about this, he felt strange at the moment, but he was afraid that the person who was placed in the Second Prince's Mansion would be discovered, but he really didn't ask anyone to do anything, and since these two people entered the Second Prince's Mansion, they have had little contact with him, even if they died, he felt that it should not be dirty on himself.
But now, the eldest prince feels a little helpless.
The advisor said, "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, your subordinates will go down and investigate, this matter is not a great secret, but I am afraid that there are many people who know, if you really want to find out, it is not difficult." ”
Of course, the more you know, the better, and the more you know, at least you won't fall behind, and it doesn't look like you're going to fight an unprepared battle.
The eldest prince nodded, "You go check it out." ”
The strategist went to one, and then the eldest prince thought that maybe he could bring a word into the palace, and if he asked for a long time, maybe he could get some answers.
But there was still one strategist left by his side, so he said, "This Jinyang princess is afraid that she can't help Her Highness now." ”
The eldest prince was taken aback, "Why?" ”
Chi Chi is the last line of defense for the eldest prince in the palace, and now the emperor likes her so much, if she opens her mouth to intercede for herself, I am afraid that the emperor will also give some face.
And now she said hello in advance, even if it was for the sake of what happened in the future, she would have to prepare early.
This seems to be the most appropriate thing to do.
But the strategist said, "Now Princess Jinyang is not in good health, and everyone knows that she is sick in the harem of bed." There was a conflict between the concubine and the queen mother in the palace because of this matter before, didn't His Royal Highness still say it as a joke? ”
- almost forgot.
Now Chi Chi is a weak body.
The eldest prince frowned.
"Now His Royal Highness's letter is only afraid that it has really been delivered to the hand of Princess Jinyang, and she may not be able to know what is happening now, I have long heard that His Majesty is not in good health to contact her, and even the ladies in the palace are not good to disturb her at will, but I am afraid that it is now that the news is blocked, maybe I don't know anything."
The eldest prince thought, there seems to be such a reason.
The strategist continued, "Princess Jinyang is strategizing, and she knows all kinds of matters in the past as if she was pinching them in the palm of her hand. It's also because she is convenient to move around in the harem, but now, she can't get out of bed when she is sick, I'm afraid that she is not clear, this is ...... We don't know what exactly is outside the palace, and if His Highness takes the liberty of sending a message in, it may not be good. ”
The eldest prince nodded, and was easily convinced.
"Then what do you think ......?"
"The slave thinks that it is better to wait and see what can be found, if it is found out, His Majesty is indeed suspicious of His Highness, we might as well ......"
The eldest prince looked at him, "What's not as good as what?" ”
"It's better to turn reactive into proactive."
The eldest prince understood, "You mean, we just went to find our father?" ”
"Yes, what we didn't do is what we didn't do, frank and unrestrained, and when we get to Your Majesty, we know everything and say everything. There's nothing you can't say. I think that as long as His Highness is frank and honest enough, His Majesty may not believe His Highness. ”
The eldest prince nodded, "That's a way." He frowned, "It's just those eunuchs in Dongchang, this king is angry when he sees it, but he doesn't know why his father especially believes in these things that are not men and women." ”
The counselor said, "Your Highness does not dare to say this. He sighed, "Who doesn't know that the Dongchang family is dominant now, and before His Royal Highness wanted to connect with Jinyiwei, it was nothing more than fighting against Dongchang, what was the result?" His Royal Highness also saw that now it is not the same day as before, and offending Dongchang is not a little good for His Highness. ”
The strategist said, "I still remember that before the queen was thousands of years old, the people of the East Factory did not give the queen any face, maybe the disagreement between the two parties has already been buried, if we can profit from it, I am afraid that it can bring a lot of convenience to the path that His Highness wants to take in the future." ”
The eldest prince didn't think so, "It's impossible for this king to discuss with these eunuchs!" ”
