Chapter 43: Fahrenheit (2)
The situation of the concubine is very difficult. On one side of the Purple Pavilion is the queen who has returned sharply, and on the other side is Concubine Jing who has a heart like the sea and a ruthless temperament. She didn't calculate that Shangguan Li would become the successor at the beginning, and in a panic, she could only surrender to Concubine Jing again - she must seize this backer, even if there will be other crises in the future. Sooner or later, the queen would learn of her betrayal back then, and without Concubine Jing's help, she would be powerless to fight against Shangguan Li, who had become the queen, and the ending was doomed to be miserable.
It's just that I don't know what price Concubine Jing has paid, so that Concubine Jing continues to believe in her.
This concubine, if used well, will also be a wonderful move. Lin Yuan had a calculation in his heart, and began to think of a way to perfunctory Ye Xiu's heart.
The draft was quickly on the agenda. In the first month of the twelfth year of Qianwu, the officials of the prefectures and counties were ordered by the Son of Heaven to select the selected women from the townships and towns, and sent the selected girls from the first layer to the state capital, and then the officials sent to inspect various places in the capital selected the show girls who entered the capital.
The process of the draft is far less complicated than the selection - if you want to become a show girl, the most important condition is not virtue and beauty, but family background. Only women with official status can run for election, and girls from civilian backgrounds are not qualified to serve the Son of Heaven.
Then the selection of women in each state and county is not too cumbersome, and each state and county has a quota limit, and those county governors are nothing more than holding a roster and counting down from the top of the women of prominent birth. Then there is a noble girl who is famous and extra beautiful, even if her father and brother's official position is lower, she can be selected into the capital exceptionally.
In the bustling bustle outside the palace, the concubines also began to feel uneasy.
On the 26th of the first month, the emperor issued a decree in the early dynasty to re-investigate the case of the mighty general Hua Ying's collaboration with the enemy twelve years ago.
Lin Yuan got the news and immediately went to the Incense Pavilion of Lintoe Palace, where the noble people lived. After searching around and finding no one, Xiao Chengzi ordered Xiao Chengzi to tie up the henchmen next to Hua's side and asked, "Where is Hua Guiren?" Did you go to Jianzhang Palace? ”
Lin Yuan didn't dare to break into the Zhang Palace for a Fahrenheit. Jealousy is measured.
The palace people of the Tilting Fragrance Pavilion were hesitant and said that the Huagui people went to Qingyi Garden. Qingyi Garden is such a big piece of land, and then I asked where it went, but I refused to say. Lin Yuan was so angry that he waved his hand and smashed the Fulu jade screen in the luxurious dormitory, and ordered him to go to Qingyi Garden.
When I arrived at the place, I looked around and didn't see anyone, and I saw Qi Ronghua and Zhang Wanyi in Huayang Palace making tea in Biyun Pavilion, quite leisurely. Lin Yuan glanced at Qi Ronghua, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "It's so cold outside, you two are still in the mood to make tea." ”
Qi Chengyu seemed to have lost some weight, and Lin Yuan looked at her much more pleasing than before. She is still far from being slender, but she can't be called fat, she can only be said to be round. On the side, Zhang Wanyi got up to greet Lin Yuan with a surprised face, Qi Chengyu chuckled and said: "Zhaoyuan Niangniang is also not afraid of freezing, there is no scenery in Qingyi Garden in this winter, but Niangniang is happy in it." ”
Lin Yuan came to find Hua Wanying, but these Qi Ronghua and Zhang Wanyi are interesting.
Not only did Qi Chengyu lose weight, but Wanyi Zhang Yihuan also wore a scarlet silk butterfly pattern skirt, three thousand green silk combed into a charming bun, and a small ruby hanging from her earlobes. Zhang Yihuan's appearance is only excellent, but she is better than her petite body and timid face.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly, and instructed Xiao Chengzi: "Go and fold some plums and reward them to Qi Ronghua and Zhang Wanyi." ”
The two of the Qi and Zhang clans glanced at each other, their faces puzzled. Lin Yuan smiled lightly: "When I first entered the palace, I liked to use plum blossom branches to hairpin, and I didn't use it all these years." ”
Qi Chengyu held the plum blossom in his hand, thought for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Concubine Xie Niangniang mentioned it." ”
"I have lived with you in Huayang Palace for two years, even if I move the palace, I still remember the love I once had." Lin Yuan said in a high-sounding manner, approached Qi Chengyu again, and said in a low voice: "Your idea is good, but you have to keep it in mind...... Don't go head-to-head with the nobles. ”
After seeing Qi Ronghua and Zhang Wanyi, Lin Yuan's mood gradually calmed down and ordered him to return to the palace.
Chu Tao was stunned: "This ...... Don't look for the noble people? The emperor is also not looking for it? ”
Lin Yuan suppressed the boredom in her heart and waved her hand: "Don't force everything." Huagui is too capable, let's insist on pressing her, and we can't hold it down, I'm afraid that the emperor will be dissatisfied. He looked back at the two people in the pavilion again: "Let's see if the two of them can make it." ”
When I returned to Yuzhao Palace, I listened to Chu Xueyu's report on the affairs of the court, and Lin Yuan said tiredly: "Needless to say, I know that it was the right prime minister who said that the emperor wanted the emperor to re-investigate the case of the Hua family back then." She immediately got up, twisted her eyebrows and said: "Hua Wanying has been favored by the queen in recent days, and when she was promoted to the rank of nobleman before, I was faintly suspicious. Sure enough, it's only been a few days before she can turn over the case of her mother's family! ”
It's Xiao Zhen who is supporting Hua Wanying!
Xiao Zhen has always been restrained by Lin Yuan, and he is unwilling, and he has long wanted to support the forces in the palace. Hua Wanying was rescued by Lin Yuan at the beginning, and she has always been Lin Yuan's person since then, but her temperament is the same as Xiao Zhen, she is arrogant and can't bear to be controlled. Xiao Zhen was extremely shrewd and picked her out, at least in terms of face, she would not offend Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan still has a place to use Xiao Zhen in the future, so naturally it is impossible to tear his face with him because of a Hua Wanying.
Xiao Zhen has an extra way back, and he doesn't have to be loyal to Lin Yuan and threatened by Lin Yuan all the time.
And what's even better is that Hua Wanying is the orphan daughter of the Hua family, and her status is low. The right prime minister Xiao Zhen and the mighty general Hua Ying have old friends, as a literati, they value love and righteousness, and when they become prime ministers and have a high position, they overturn the case of their former friends, which is completely in line with the high and noble temperament of the literati. The people of the world would appreciate him, and the emperor would not find it strange.
General Weiwu was just a three-rank border defender many years ago, and he had no power. After his death, the Hua family was defeated, leaving only three sons to be exiled to the frontier, and one daughter was not admitted to the pear orchard as a dancer - and now news has also come back that Hua Wanying's three brothers, who had died of hard labor a few years earlier.
He had a young son, who was only thirteen years old.
Such a Hua family was overturned by the right prime minister - in the eyes of the emperor, this is by no means a party, but the right prime minister remembers the old love and helps the Hua family with a gesture.
The right prime minister is a pillar of the court, and Tuoba Hong has relied on him very much in the past day, and now he personally put forward a small request that is not a difficult matter, and there is a reason to refute it? He ordered his henchmen to investigate the case twelve years ago, and spoiled Fahrenheit in the harem for a few days in a row, and also made her a nobleman.
Once the Hua family overturns the case, Hua Wanying will be an official noblewoman, and she should be sealed according to the law.
Tuoba Hong likes her again, so naturally he will give her what he should give.
The case of the mighty general Hua Ying's collaboration with the enemy was quickly turned over. Twelve years ago, the case was hastily closed due to the chaos of seizing the heir, and now I take those dusty files from the Criminal Department to look through them, and I can really find many loopholes.
Soon, on the first day of the second lunar month, Gao Jin, the servant of the Criminal Department, played the Holy Shrine and peeled off the unjust case of the Hua family and thoroughly investigated it.
Gao Jin is over forty years old, pedantic, and better than doing things fairly and meticulously.
Tuoba Hong nodded when he listened, and then issued an order to deal with the courtiers who framed Hua Ying back then.
Unjust cases have always been concerned by people, but the onlookers just think it's interesting, the Hua family is not a prominent family, and the cases are just petty officials. Among them, the highest official position is also a Confucian surnamed Zhou in Guozijian, who has been at odds with Hua Ying for many years, and took the opportunity to fall into the well for the Hua family, but now he has been cut by the emperor and rushed back to his hometown.
This matter was done in a cool and neat manner, and the courtiers led by Zhou Daxue all withdrew their official positions or went to the border passes, and General Chen, who was Hua Ying's deputy general and fabricated false certificates of collaborating with the enemy, was beheaded. are all insignificant figures, there is not much turmoil in the court, Yang Qi is not even too lazy to watch and report at home, Prime Minister Zuo is holding a map in the court to study how to divide the Xia Kingdom with Mongolia, and King Duanxu and other royal relatives are privately discussing the notoriety of Empress Shangguan.
In the Linzhi Palace, the noble people silently lit sandalwood in front of the Buddha shrine, and prayed for their deceased relatives in the smoke.
Burning paper money in the palace is a curse of the royal family, and no one dares to cross the thunder pool. The only thing she could do was to worship in front of the Buddha.
When he bowed and got up, a palace maid came in with a makeup dowry and said, "The little lord should change his makeup, the emperor has been staying here for the past few days, and the hour of today should also come." ”
Hua Wanying nodded, and let the palace people take care of her hair. She inhaled deeply, and her fingers slowly clenched - her father was wronged, which was nothing more than a gesture for the emperor, but for her, it was at the cost of ten years of humiliation in the pear orchard and a lifetime of swords and swords in the harem.
After her three brothers were exiled, there was no news of them, and it was only to this day that she learned that both brothers were also dead, leaving a half-brother, the last bloodline of the Hua family.
She is the daughter of the Hua family, but this younger brother is a concubine, so she is not very close. But now she is her only relative.
If she wants to continue the Hua family, the only thing she can do is to serve the emperor well. Tuoba Hong had already sent someone to pick up her younger brother, and she was thinking about how to ask the emperor for an idle official position for her younger brother, maybe she should send her younger brother to study in the Guozijian first...... and the right prime minister, she saw the discord between the right prime minister and Lin Yuan, and seized the opportunity to recommend herself to the right prime minister, so she overturned the case for her father. In the future, she naturally wants to do things for the right prime minister, but she can't go too far and dislike the emperor.
and Hui Zhaoyuan...... As soon as she thought of that woman, Hua Wanying, who had always been bold, felt a terrifying fear. Because of her betrayal, Hui Zhaoyuan was furious, and she didn't know how to deal with her.
