Chapter 170: Pull into the water

Let's say that Ma Ya took away the benevolent Taoist, that is, the former Queen Hu, what does she want to do?

Don't ask Ma Ya what she wants to do, Ma Ya really wants to lead her to this way, and really wants to make the benevolent Taoist heart care about Taoism.

This is good for the former queen. At least she was not so depressed in her heart, and when she embarked on the path of true cultivation, she would not care about the throne of the queen.

This is Ma Ya's debt to the former queen Hu family, and Ma Ya doesn't want her to be caught in the middle and suffer!

It just so happened that Ma Ya introduced her to Xu Xiaomei.

As mentioned earlier, this Xu Xiaomei is a woman that Emperor Fu Kang can't ask for, and Emperor Fu Kang has kept the queen's throne empty because of her, so he specially waited for her to come.

Xu Xiaomei always disagreed, she cultivated until Emperor Fukang died, and the queen's throne was always empty.

Ma Ya asked the benevolent Taoist, that is, the Hu family, to see Xu Xiaomei, and there should be a lot of words between them, according to understanding, Xu Xiaomei is much smarter than the Hu family.

Xu Xiaomei didn't want to be the queen at all, and the Hu family was forced to withdraw from the queen's throne, so Ma Ya brought her over, and she had a problem with asking Xu Xiaomei.

First of all, Hu will definitely ask Xu Xiaomei why she does not sit on the queen's throne and concentrates on cultivation, according to Xu Xiaomei's intelligence, she will definitely give Hu a satisfactory answer.

So Ma Ya came out this time, is it just to relieve the depression in Hu's heart?

No!

You must know that the Hu family is just a pawn in the struggle between the two sides, she has no backer, and her mother's power is not great, she was used by the Empress Dowager Zhang.

If Ma Ya wants to completely pull out this chess piece, she must let her cultivate without distractions and no longer be a chess piece of others.

In this way, no one will talk about the abolished queen anymore. Hu himself is happy all day long, isn't this behavior a good verification of what the emperor said before, saying that she is not in good health, she wants to cultivate, she doesn't want to bother God, she still wants to live a few more years!

In this way, some people's mouths can be stopped, and it can't be said that Lian'er and Ma Ya used tricks to usurp the throne!

Ma Ya also knew that about the things she did, there would definitely be a leak.

When there are many people who handle it, it is impossible not to show flaws.

Ma Ya must be ready to fight back at any time.

For example, the Taoist sent the baby into the palace, there is really no flaw? The guards, the eunuchs who followed, and the palace maids, didn't find anything abnormal?!

In fact, there is more than one person who doubts, but everyone keeps things in their hearts and no one dares to talk nonsense.

Everyone has a posture that they don't care about themselves, no one wants to cause trouble, the woman the emperor likes, and they can also offend? !

However, there are always people who want to take a risky move, who doesn't want to be prosperous and rich.

Lian'er sat on the queen's throne, and Concubine Chen leaned on the Empress Dowager Zhang, and she was not afraid of Lian'er.

On the contrary, during Lian'er's pregnancy, she spent money to buy off the eunuchs and a palace maid around Lian'er, which is of course a secret.

So when Lian'er gave birth, the flaws leaked out.

Liu Daochang brought the bloody quilt into the palace at that time, which can be understood as Liu Daochang often encountering poor families, and there was no baby's quilt, so Liu Daochang prepared one, ready to wrap the child, but this would be the imperial concubine giving birth to a child and accidentally soiling it.

But what is the explanation for bringing in a jar of amniotic fluid?

It can be regarded as a hundred secrets, just when Liu Daochang came out to report the good news to the emperor, her medicine box was still inside, among which there was a palace maid, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, she quietly opened Liu Daochang's medicine box, and what caught her eye at that time was the bloody quilt and jar.

Lian'er is not a palace maid by her side, there are several palace maids around Lian'er!

At that time, I saw her open the medicine box of the Taoist chief and saw the quilt and jar inside, and two or three people saw it.

reacted quickly, and after being surprised, he immediately said: "Don't move the medicine box of the chief!" ”

Anyway, do they want to defend their masters!

This matter is over, and later they discussed two sentences between them, saying that Changzhen is careful enough, and he is afraid that there is no quilt in the palace? !

However, in hindsight, there was a flaw.

Why did the Taoist take the jar?

And the jar is not clean.

So this palace maid, well, let's call her Momofuku.

Baifu secretly told Concubine Chen about this.

Concubine Chen unfolded all kinds of imagination, and when she figured it out, she immediately told Empress Dowager Zhang about it.

After Concubine Chen's description, judging from all kinds of signs, the imperial concubine did not look like she was pregnant, because the eyes that looked at her before were always not quite right.

Concubine Chen said: "Before, I felt that she always wanted to avoid our sisters, everyone went to see her, and when she came back, she said that she was not feeling well and didn't want to keep us there." ”

In addition, there were strange things in the medicine box of the female Taoist, so she began to imagine, saying that Lian'er was really pregnant, or if the child was brought from outside······

Concubine Chen was reprimanded by Empress Dowager Zhang at that time.

How big of a deal is this, can such a joke be made?

Concubine Chen saw that Empress Dowager Zhang's attitude suddenly changed, and she was at a loss!

Does Empress Dowager Zhang have any doubts about this?

There must be suspicions in that!

But Empress Dowager Zhang has to take into account the overall situation, how dare she talk nonsense before there is no evidence?!

With so many pairs of eyes staring, so many people watching, the child is so easy to be brought into the palace?

If the words are spoken and there is a fuss, and in the end, the child is confirmed to be born by the imperial concubine Lian'er, then Concubine Chen's life will not be guaranteed.

You know, slandering the imperial concubine, what kind of crime is that?

Can such a jealous woman keep her?!

Even if the emperor doesn't kill her, I'm afraid that she won't want to get out in this life, she will definitely have to be beaten into the cold palace, and the emperor will abandon her from now on and no longer favor her!

Then Concubine Chen will spend the rest of her life in a cool palace that is not treated well, and if no one does it, she will die of depression!

If Concubine Chen has an accident, it's not that Empress Dowager Zhang is worried, Empress Dowager Zhang is worried, if Concubine Chen has an accident, then she will be burned!

The child was born to Lian'er, and that is also his grandson.

your own grandson yourself, psychotic?!

However, after Empress Dowager Zhang scolded Concubine Chen and asked her to step back, Empress Dowager Zhang was also thinking about this issue.

She also made people check, saying that since Lian'er was pregnant, it has always been the royal doctor who has given Lian'er the pulse, and no other imperial doctor has seen the imperial concubine.

This had to make Empress Dowager Zhang wonder.

Empress Dowager Zhang knew that she didn't need her own people to investigate, this Concubine Chen would definitely send someone to investigate this Daochang Liu.

Sure enough, soon, Empress Dowager Zhang got the news that that Zhang Daochang was missing.

disappeared, there are two explanations, one is that she is a thief, and after she quietly smuggled the child to the palace, she fled from the northern capital.

Who is the main messenger behind the scenes, no need to ask, whoever benefits is the main messenger.

Then this person, of course, is Lian'er!

There is also a second situation, that is, this Liu Dao elder cultivates the Tao, of course, travels all over the famous mountains and rivers, looking for fellow Taoists, and learning from the experience of cultivation.

Then there is the medical treatment for the people.

So which one it is, no one can guess.

For this reason, in order to distinguish it, Empress Dowager Zhang also came to observe the child, and Concubine Chen also followed.

After they saw the child, they also made eye contact.

Of course, this action is very fast and not easy for ordinary people to notice.

However, they can't escape Ma Ya's eyes, and Ma Ya sees them all.

The child is her brother's child, and the child is naturally not like Lian'er, nor like Ji'er, this is a shortcoming.

Ma Ya knew this in her heart, and the moment the two of them looked at each other, this was what it meant. They were making sure that the baby was like Lian'er or like Ki'er.

However, even if they don't look alike, they don't talk nonsense. They don't have any proof.

Children look like their parents, most of them are, but there are also a few who are born and can't tell who he looks like, and this is not uncommon!

But like this is a relatively small number of cases.

Ma Ya thought that after the incident, they would definitely find evidence.

Therefore, Ma Ya's side followed suit.

A few months later, after Ma Ya helped Lian'er pull the Hu family down from the queen's throne, Ma Ya took the Hu family to see Xu Xiaomei.

This is also a move taken by Ma Ya.

She wants to leave the Hu family out, so the advantage is that the Hu family will no longer be used to oppose Lian'er because of the depression of the position, which will go to an enemy.

Besides, Hu is a pawn in the opponent's camp, and now she is the one who is frustrated, and she doesn't speak, as if the other party has lost a general.

But Ma Ya knows that the child is not like the emperor, and it is impossible to stop other people's mouths.

Although no one dares to mention it now, after a long time, Empress Dowager Zhang will definitely tell the emperor.

Now the baby is small, what about the future?

Judging from all kinds of signs, Empress Dowager Zhang is also sending people out to look for relevant clues.

Although Ma Ya thought about it a lot in her heart, she felt that it was dense enough, but she was afraid that what if, what if there was something missing?!

To do this kind of thing is to walk a tightrope, and if you are not careful, you can fall down.

What to do?

Ma Ya had to stop Empress Dowager Zhang's actions.

It was really not easy for Feng Qinghui's people to deal with Empress Dowager Zhang and Concubine Chen's people at the same time, because they couldn't figure out who they were using.

Therefore, we have to let Empress Dowager Zhang withdraw the troops first.

Ma Ya adjusted the deployment and asked Feng Qinghui's subordinates to stop, not to find out who they were using, but to let Sister Hua take action.

What do you want Sister Hua to do?

Let Sister Hua beat the idea of the Empress Dowager's family, and in Ma Ya's words, pull them into the water.

How to get into the water?

That's to do business together.

How do you call going into the water when doing business?

Of course, doing a small business can't be called water and water, if it's a small business, you can do it alone, such as selling vegetables!

But Sister Hua's business is not small, and the bigger the business, the greater the benefits.

The greater the benefits, the easier it is for people to be greedy for eternity!

To give a simple example, if the Ministry of Industry wants to carry out a project, they can make false reports and conceal them, can't businessmen do it?

For example, if you provide 1,000 pieces of wood to a certain project and buy off the person who handles it, can't you give them 800 or 600? Then the hundreds of them are falsely reported, and that is silver.

This money is all public, everyone is good to share, you can put it into your own pocket!

Has Sister Hua ever done this?

As long as you are a businessman, a big businessman, saying that you have never done this thing, and saying that you are a businessman who does your duty, you are joking.

Just like the corrupt officials killed during the Taizu period, are they really wronged?

Among so many officials in the country, I'm afraid there are few clean!

Sister Hua dragged Empress Dowager Zhang's family into the water, which is equivalent to mastering his evidence.

It's a terrible thing.

If necessary, Sister Hua can go to the government to surrender and spit out the money she embezzled.

At the same time, Sister Hua can bite out Empress Dowager Zhang's mother's family.

The government defines people like Sister Hua as profiteers at most, and they are generally fine-based, and Sister Hua is not afraid of fines if she is rich, just pay it.

Sister Hua took the initiative to confess again, and Sister Hua could have paid the fine and was released.

But Empress Dowager Zhang's mother's family was miserable.

They are not old Baixin, they are the emperor's relatives, they will implicate the Empress Dowager Zhang, and this matter will be put on the line.

They committed the crime of corruption, can Empress Dowager Zhang get away with it?

If they are arrested, the Queen Mother's family is arrested, what is the nature of this matter?

This is not only the queen mother's loss of face, but also the royal family's shame!

Whether the queen mother's family is severely punished or not, this is not something that any yamen official can control, and he can't handle it effectively, this matter is going to cause trouble in the court.

There are righteous ministers, who are naturally upright, and their words are like sharp swords, piercing the heart of the Empress Dowager Zhang!

After that, who is still close to her, and who dares to work with her?!

Ma Ya let Sister Hua act.

So, Sister Hua found the housekeeper of Zhang's Mansion and invited him out for a meal and a drink, and after that, Sister Hua bribed him with fifty taels of silver.

Sister Hua has only one purpose, that is, to ask him to come forward and help Sister Hua say good things in front of her master, and Sister Hua wants to do business with them.

The housekeeper of Zhang's Mansion was strange, he was still more cautious at first, and he didn't dare to collect Sister Hua's money, he asked Sister Hua what kind of business she wanted to do, and she needed the master of Zhang's Mansion to do it with her? Isn't Sister Hua's business very big? Isn't it quite capable?

Sister Hua told him bluntly, saying that their family is the mother of Empress Dowager Zhang, if Sister Hua joins forces with his family, there are people in the Zhang family, and Sister Hua is rich, and they will make a lot of money if they join forces!

The housekeeper understood, it turned out that Sister Hua meant this, they all said that Sister Hua was shrewd, and when I heard her say this today, she was really shrewd!

Besides, how did he know about Ma Ya's cooperation with the emperor.

Ma Ya cooperated with the emperor, and even the minister didn't know it, this was only a secret between Ma Ya and the emperor, except for the person concerned, Sister Hua, outsiders naturally didn't know.

Sister Hua returned fifty taels of silver to the housekeeper, saying that even if it was the master of Zhang's mansion to make it convenient!

When the housekeeper saw Sister Hua say this, he happily accepted the money.

So, that night, the housekeeper told the owner what Sister Hua meant.

This is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and he heard that it was Sister Hua, which was strange at first.

Who doesn't know the famous flower sister in the northern capital? Her business is so big, how can she come to herself?

The housekeeper who got Sister Hua's bribe helped Sister Hua speak, saying that Sister Hua mainly took a fancy to the queen mother as a backer in their family, and said that Sister Hua did business with the government, and sometimes it was inevitable that the above would default on Sister Hua's business money, and it would not be paid for a long time, and some of them had not been given for several years.

If Sister Hua joins forces with him to do business, then the government will not dare to embarrass them!

After the housekeeper said this, Zhang Ye felt that this was really the case. It is a common thing that there is a debt of silver taels above!

He decided to see Sister Hua.

So under the arrangement of the housekeeper, the two met.

Sister Hua was bold and took out two hundred taels of silver to Zhang Ye when she went up, saying that this was a meeting gift, and if she earned it in the future, Zhang Ye would take six, and Sister Hua would take four!

That's it!

Two cups to congratulate the successful cooperation!
