Chapter 817: Pressurizing
The crown princess is about the royal face, but also about the prince, and Emperor Jingming is very concerned about these rumors outside the palace.
In order to quell the rumors, he originally planned to let Jin Linwei command Han Ran to send Lu Chuchu back to life, no matter whether this is the real county lord or the fake county lord, it is better to calm down the people's discussions first if he recognizes the wrong person.
There is an endless stream of gossip in Beijing, and it must not take long for the people to forget about it.
Who would have thought that the envoy of Northern Qi who lived in the embassy heard the news and ran over to recognize someone, and cried when he threw himself in front of Lu Chuchu, completely confirming her identity as the lord of Northern Qi.
In this way, Emperor Jingming not only pinched his nose to admit it, but also agreed to the request of the envoys of Northern Qi: ask the Great Zhou to send soldiers to escort the lord of Qiluo back to Northern Qi.
In terms of comprehensive national strength, the Great Zhou is naturally superior, but the Northern Qi people are belligerent, and when they really fight, it is often the Great Zhou who suffers a big loss and pays a lot of money.
Fortunately, although there has been small friction between the two countries over the years, a large-scale war has never broken out, which also gives Da Zhou the energy to deal with Nanlan with all his might.
In this situation, Emperor Jingming, of course, did not want to offend the Northern Qi, so after a little thought, he ordered Jiang Zhan to escort the county lord of Qiluo back to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and quickly sent this hot potato away.
The team escorting the county lord of Qiluo did not make a big splash, but it was still discovered by the sharp-eyed people of the capital.
In this way, the rumors are even stronger.
What no one noticed was that Lu Shengxiang, who had closed the door, reported to Shuntianfu with a letter of paper.
The complaint is a bit strange, suing the rumor-monger, accusing the rumor-monger of malicious intentions, damaging the reputation of Lu Shengxiang's owner, and causing Lu Shengxiang to close the door.
However, there is no specific defendant in the complaint.
is such a paper letter, Yin Zhen Shicheng of Shuntian Mansion actually accepted it, and took the case seriously.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and it has reached the spring of March, and even the triennial spring has passed.
It stands to reason that at this time, the people of the capital should be most concerned about the champion parade street, exploring flowers and folding flowers, or talking about the eldest prince of Dongping Bofu, Qionglin, who got drunk on the way back to his house after the banquet, carelessly fell off the horse and broke his leg, and from then on it was the right to insulate himself from his career.
But the turmoil of the crown princess not only did not pass, but it became more and more intense.
The collusion between the crown princess and the Northern Qi conspiracy is the first crime, and the second crime is that the crown princess has a flawed reputation after retiring from her relatives, and now there is a third crime: drought began to occur in many places last year, and even the land of the capital has not fallen to the rain, which is a warning from God that the princess is dissatisfied.
Jiang seemed to be happy when he heard this rumor.
Ah Man stomped his feet angrily: "Why are you still laughing, that is, it is inconvenient to go out in the palace, otherwise the maid will tear the mouths of those people!" β
Jiang seemed to glance at her, and said lightly: "Can you still tear the mouths of people in the world with one hand?" β
"What then, should they discredit you? The servant also heard that there is already a court to impeach you......"
"You're well-informed. Okay, that's not your business, calm down. β
Seeing that Jiang seemed to be like this, Ah Man had no choice but to give up.
Emperor Jingming did begin to have a headache with the speech officials who jumped up and down and the hundred officials who were about to move.
He knew in his heart that this was indispensable to the problem left over from the sudden decision of the prince.
At that time, the holy decree was issued, and the hundred officials dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and later the prince avoided the tengu swallowing the sun and was considered to be the destiny of heaven, and no one dared to speak up.
Just because you're silent doesn't mean you don't have ideas.
Until now, when the crown princess encounters something, she sharpens her knives one by one.
Can't you take the crown prince under the knife, can't you take the crown princess under the knife?
Besides, the crown prince is so young and handsome, seeing that the emperor has packed up a group of princes and there are not a few left, the prince's position should be stable. If the crown princess is killed, his daughters (granddaughters, nieces) will not have a chance.
Thinking about it this way, the ministers are even more motivated.
Emperor Jingming sat on the dragon chair and listened to a speech official spitting and impeaching the crown princess.
Without him, I have heard too many such words these days, and my ears are calloused and numb.
Emperor Jingming was not angry in his heart.
The crown princess colluded with the Northern Qi spies?
It is said that the county lord of Qiluo drank cold water and stuffed his teeth, and if the Northern Qi Dynasty sent such a person as a spy, he would have died long ago.
There is also the fact that the crown princess has withdrawn from her relatives, and the matter of Chen sesame and rotten grain has actually turned out to block him, have these fools forgotten that when Lao Qi was still King Yan, the marriage was his nod?
Didn't he know that the crown princess had quit at that time?
The marriage he approved is now taking it out to talk about things, is this aimed at the crown princess? It's a slap in the face!
As for the drought, it is even more ridiculous, as if the wind and rain are good every year, but it is just a crime that wants to add to it.
When the third official stood up and listed the similar charges of the crown princess, Emperor Jingming couldn't bear to interject: "The crown princess is just a weak woman, how can she collude with the Northern Qi people?" Aiqing is too worriedβ"
Who knew that the famous official was an anxious man, and he hit the pillar without waiting for Emperor Jingming to finish speaking.
What I didn't expect was that there was a group of people standing next to Yan Guan, and no one reacted quickly to pull the person up, and Yan Guan immediately broke his head and bled to death.
If something like this happens, it will not be so easy for Emperor Jingming to fool the matter of the crown princess in the past.
By this time, it didn't matter whether the crown princess had colluded with the Northern Qi people.
All the mouths are full of gold, and the words of the people are terrible, and they all say that you are guilty, then you are guilty. It is said that if you cause a great drought in the world, then you are the culprit of the great drought in the world.
Emperor Jingming glanced at the blood stains on the gold bricks, and brushed away with a black face.
The news of the impeachment of the crown princess for her death by hitting a pillar in the main hall spread quickly.
Someone came to Cining Palace, please Emperor Jingming over.
Seeing the Queen Mother, Emperor Jingming suppressed his annoyance and pulled out a smile: "What is the matter with the queen mother looking for her son?" β
The Queen Mother put a cup of tea in front of her, still steaming.
She picked up the teacup and said in a low voice: "The mourning family heard that there is a royal history who died because of the impeachment of the crown princess and touched the pillarββ"
"The queen mother has heard about it too?" When Emperor Jingming mentioned this, he was very upset.
Don't think he doesn't know, those officials are looking for death and life at every turn because they are upright?
Hehe, it's just stepping on him as a monarch to gain a good name.
It's angry when he thinks about it, but everyone is dead, what else can he do? If it is the Yanguan family, a faint monarch's hat will be buttoned up immediately.
The Queen Mother's eyes flashed: "The matter of the crown princess is in an uproar, and the mourning family is not deaf, how can they not hear any news?" β
Emperor Jingming sighed: "It's worried about the queen mother again." β
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said lightly: "It doesn't matter if the mourning family is worried or not, what matters is what the emperor plans to do?" β
Seeing that Emperor Jingming was silent, the Queen Mother put down the teacup and said earnestly: "The emperor has just selected the prince, and the crown princess has caused such a turmoil. How this matter ends, the emperor should think about it. β
"My son got it." Emperor Jingming left Cining Palace with a heavy heart.
