Chu Yongqing summoned the left and right concubines of the Zhan Mansion and the left and right Zhongyun to discuss important matters in the Wenhua Palace. Everyone was heavy-faced, and the atmosphere in the hall was very depressing.

After a long sigh, Chu Yongqing said: "I think you should understand what you are calling to come to. ”

In recent days, there have been many Xiajiang victims in the capital who have defected to their relatives. They arrived in the capital with them to complain about disasters and the emperor. Some people even bluntly said that such a disaster occurred in Xiajiang because the emperor's actions were hated by God.

"Today in the court, someone played a suggestion that my father sacrifice to the heavens and issued an edict for sin."

Yan Yanzheng was stunned for a moment and said: "The emperor must not issue an edict for a crime!" There have long been rumors among the people that it is because of the establishment of a woman as the prince that the heavens will release their anger and flood the river. If the emperor really issued this edict, it would be a rumor! It's bad for the royal princess! ”

"Isn't it?" Chu Yongqing laughed at herself, "Who can guarantee that after my father has issued an edict, Xia Jiang will be able to calm down and return to normal?" If there is no recovery, will that group of people get an inch, saying that the father is not pious enough? ”

"The things of gods and ghosts cannot be trusted." Gu Hao said.

Yan Yanzheng listened and said: "We can not believe it, but we can't let everyone in the world not believe it." The theory of ghosts and gods may not save the world, but it can kill people and punish people. The rumors in Beijing are clearly deliberately aimed at the imperial concubine! I wonder if the princess knows where this rumor came from? ”

Chu Yongqing shook his head and said, "I once sent someone to ask about this among the victims, only to know that this rumor has been prevalent outside Beijing. How easy is it to find the person behind it? ”

Yan Yanzheng was anxious in his heart, his brows were twisted into the word "Sichuan", and he said: "But if you don't care about this rumor, how can you suppress the crime?" ”

Ji Liangyan suddenly laughed, and his laughter was out of place in the serious and dull Wenhua Palace.

"What's so hard about that?"

Yan Yanzheng's face was pale, and he asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what Master Ji thinks?" How dare you speak outrageously? ”

"It's not Ji who said crazy words. This rumor is not easy to stop, and it is difficult to find the source of this rumor. But it is too simple to refute the courtiers for letting the emperor issue an edict. Throughout the 100 years of Gongguo, has there been an emperor who has been guilty of an edict? ”

Yan Yanzheng replied: "Gongguo's 100 years of wind and rain are smooth! Even if there is a small disaster, it will be quickly subsided, and naturally there is no need for the emperor to issue an edict! ”

"So the main messenger behind this scene takes it for granted that Gong Chao is the same as Qianliang."

"Oh?" Gu Hao seemed to notice something, "Could it be that what Master Ji is talking about?" ”

Ji Liang bowed down to Chu Yongqing and said, "The emperor doesn't have to worry. ”

After that, Ji Liangyan raised his head and smiled calmly, "Can the Imperial Concubine remember the Holy Ancestor's 'Theory of Co-sin'?" ”

"The ministers should share the responsibility for governing the country with the Son of Heaven?"

These words are the words of admonishment to the ministers after Gong Shengzu ascended the throne. She believed that the emperor's wrongdoing was related to the courtiers. If the minister is a loyal minister and knows how to admonish and admonish instead of bewitching and seeking power, then Emperor Liang will not fall into the abyss.

"Since they make a big fuss with the theory of ghosts and gods, then we will make a fuss with the admonitions of the Holy Ancestor Emperor. Legend has it that the Holy Ancestor Emperor has the protection of the gods, and she can only expand her territory in the troubled times as a woman. The admonition of the Holy Ancestor Emperor is the admonition of the gods. ”

All the people present were smart people, and after Ji Liang's suggestion, everyone had an idea in their hearts. has been a straight face, and a smile is revealed for the first time in a long time.

"Master Ji...... It is worthy of Lord Ji. Zhang Chencheng said with emotion: "I can actually come up with this method." ”

"If it weren't for Yan Gong's inspiration, Ji would have fallen into rumors and it would be difficult to jump out."

"This matter, you might as well let the imperial concubine mention it directly to the emperor." Zhang Chencheng suggested: "When disaster comes, the important thing is not to clear up each other, but to work together to overcome the disaster." It may be much better for the emperor to mention it to the emperor as a child than for us courtiers. ”

"Master Zhang, where did you start with this?"

"This crime has been decreed, and it is rare that the emperor is not alone. As soon as the edict is issued, it is to let the emperor roast on the fire. At this time, the emperor and the emperor discussed privately, that is, the two parents walked hand in hand to face this problem together. It may not be impossible to make the emperor feel a little relieved. ”

Ji Liang said with a smile, "Is this to let the emperor and the emperor share weal and sorrow?" ”

"Since the emperor can't take over the disaster relief and save the reputation of the people, she can only play the emotional card with the emperor."

The proposal was good, but Chu Yongqing never smiled.

"Is it up to me to mention it to the emperor...... This matter will be discussed again......"

"Imperial ......" Yan Yanzheng smiled bitterly: "Once you miss the opportunity for some things, there is no chance to regret it." ”

Chu Yongqing and the emperor are not close, and the two rarely talk in private, as father and daughter. For this father, Chu Yongqing has always been respectful and afraid.

She and Chu Yongyi are completely two extremes.

"I'll think about it."

"The minister dared to ask more." Yan Yanzheng said: "Is the news of the discord between the emperor and the emperor true or false? ”

"It's true that you can't talk about disharmony, and it's true that you don't kiss. Now that my father is unhappy, what will he think of it after I put forward the 'theory of complicity'? Do you think I'm doing it for him? Or do I think that in order to protect this prince's position, I am willing to please his father? ”

The family affairs of the Son of Heaven, everyone in the Zhan Mansion is not good to say anything.

"Let's go back first...... I'll think about it later. ”

"Yes."

After everyone left, Chu Yongqing sat down dejectedly. She always knew that she was not loved by her father.

At first, she thought that she was not being noticed because she had an excellent big brother, so her father couldn't pay enough attention. Later, Chu Yongrui was born and was favored by the emperor, Chu Yongqing felt that her father preferred boys, and she would be less cared for as a woman.

Until the day the seventh sister was born, the emperor gave many treasures. Chu Yongqing knew that her father just didn't like her.

is also the prince, and the first prince's homework has to be personally asked twice a day. After Chu Yongqing became the imperial concubine, the emperor would only ask how his teacher was doing. Never personally assessed her homework.

The same goes for birthday gifts. Chu Yongqing sent it first, and it was left aside. When other children give it, they will praise it with joy. Even if the two of them were sending the same thing......

These things have become a thorn in the heart between her and the emperor.

"It would be nice if Ah Yi was here......" Chu Yongqing rubbed her temples and whispered helplessly: "It would be nice if Ah Yi was here......"

The only one who can ease the father-daughter relationship between them is Chu Yongyi.

In desperation, Chu Yongqing decided to set off for Yonghe Palace. Now in addition to Feng Jieyu, she can't find a second person who can discuss this matter.
