Chapter 840 - Giving Hands to Each Other Chapter 841 - What a Mistake

The emperor looked up at the Empress Dowager and put down the teacup slowly: "Prepare for the Empress Dowager to worship the Buddha, that is the filial piety of the grandson, the Empress Dowager has already decided, and it is not a time to say that the palace affairs are troublesome, and I want to go to the Buddha to be quiet." Now that spring ploughing is going to be arranged, it will be really spring in a few days, and the grandson is afraid that the queen mother will be anxious when she arrives, and there will be hurried and negligence. After he finished speaking, he paused: "Could it be that the Empress Dowager is dissatisfied with my arrangement?" ”

The Empress Dowager's face was cloudy: "That mourning family really has to thank the emperor." She didn't get the slightest hint from Concubine Xian, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

The emperor put away all his smiles: "The filial piety of the grandson, as long as the Empress Dowager knows, the grandson is looking forward to the Empress Dowager living a long and quiet life." As for what I mean, I think the Empress Dowager knows very well that who will the nine royal maidens be summoned to serve the Empress Dowager and be very happy? If I summon the Yellow Imperial Maiden tonight, will the Empress Dowager be a little disappointed, and if I confer the Yellow Imperial Maiden as Zhaorong tomorrow, will the Empress Dowager be a little anxious? ”

The Empress Dowager's face elongated: "Is the emperor's words a bit excessive, the mourning family is for the sake of my heavenly family's succession, so I will remind the emperor not to forget the new royal maids who entered the palace, which has also become the fault of the mourning family." ”

"As the Empress Dowager said, of course it's not wrong, it's the imperial grandmother's concern for her grandson, but if this concern is selfish, it makes me think about it more and more." The emperor replied slowly without hurry: "Imperial Girl Ding's aunt and grandmother are the wives of the side branch of the Shangguan family, Wu Xiunu's sister and the daughter of the side branch of the Shangguan family are concubines, Yang Xiunu, their ancestors were originally servants of the Shangguan family, but later the Shangguan family returned their deeds and helped them buy a small official." ”

"The Empress Dowager, these three royal maidens, I don't know if you have anything to explain to your grandson?" He looked at the Empress Dowager's eyes blazing: "Originally, Sun Er should have asked the Empress Dowager which maid was good, and then tell her life experience, but except for a Huang maid, the others are inextricably linked to the Shangguan family, and if you ask the Empress Dowager to name two of them, one of them will be a member of the Shangguan clan." ”

The Emperor took tea and drank it: "I believe that my Imperial Grandmother will not deny these things, because you are the most honorable person in the Heavenly Family. ”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she looked at Concubine Xian fiercely, only to find that she had been standing behind the emperor since she came in, and she had not come over to serve her as diligently as before, and her eyes shrank suddenly: "Concubine Xian, you are so capable." She couldn't understand it at this time, and she had been in the palace for so many years.

Xian Guifei saluted: "The Empress Dowager praised it, and the concubine was also trained by the Empress Dowager, so I dare not praise it, if the concubine has a little bit of merit is also the work of the Empress Dowager, how dare I be complacent." ”

"Do you think the pure concubine will let you go?" The Empress Dowager was so angry that the roots of her teeth hurt: "Whether it's because of the purpose, she has always been very protective, those two girls died in your hands, after achieving her goal, she will never tolerate you, you actually helped her to talk nonsense in front of the emperor, not only guilty but also extremely confused." ”

Concubine Xian got up and said calmly: "It's too late, the Empress Dowager, now you can't turn things around even if you have the ability to go through the sky." What's more, letting the concubine do this is not a pure concubine, the concubine and the pure concubine are good sisters, but she told the concubine to do such a thing, and the weight is insufficient. ”

The Empress Dowager had gone through a lot of wind and waves, but she calmed down and looked at the emperor at this time: "There won't be only such a little arrangement, right?" There are no mistakes, there are many words, and the emperor can do some with the details of a few show girls. She said it easily, and she was already extremely worried that the Shangguan clan would be in trouble.

"My grandson came today because I have a few things to say to the Queen Mother." There was no special change on the emperor's face: "The things prepared for spring plowing this year are taken care of by the Shangguan family, but the seeds are mixed with rotten grain, and the cattle and horses are mainly old and weak." Of course, the Shangguan family has worked hard and made great achievements, and it is normal for a few disdainful children and grandchildren, and this matter is not a big crime. ”

The Empress Dowager's face has become extremely embarrassed, this is not a big crime, it means that the emperor will drive out the Shangguan family, but: "The grain has always been taken care of by the Zhao family......"

"In order to show sincerity, the Zhao family gave up thirty percent of their business, including this year's spring ploughing seeds." Xian Guifei replied to the Queen Mother's words.

The emperor continued: "The Shangguan family has been in charge of the official blacksmith camp for several generations, and the iron ore and refined iron have always been controlled by the Shangguan family, the empress dowager knows, right?" There are many words without mistakes", such a thing was firmly grasped by the people of the Shangguan family, and it is no wonder that the first emperor was so jealous of the Shangguan family: "Now the Shangguan family sells fine iron to foreign clans, and also sells a lot of weapons to foreign clans - the empress dowager, the generals of the border pass defend the country with flesh and blood, but how many of them died unjustly at the hands of the Shangguan family?" ”

"How many of them died by the swords and spears we made ourselves, and how many of them died by the weapons of our fine iron? Tens of thousands of miles of frontiers, how many soldiers' lives, how do you let me face those heroic souls who know underground. He had already growled under his feet.

The Empress Dowager's hands and feet were cold: "No, it's impossible, they just guard the iron ore for the Heavenly Family and the Imperial Court, build weapons, and do their best for my Heavenly Empire; How can you do something that will bring harm to the country and the people? ”

"The emperor has already said the things that will harm the country, and the evidence is in front of them, but have they done less things that have harmed the people? Not to mention the present, can the Empress Dowager remember the flood eight or nine years ago? Hongluan walked into the hall with Liu Er and Erya, and her eyes were full of anger: "How many people have the Shangguan family drowned for their own selfishness, is this considered a disaster?" In order to build a manor, the entire village of villagers was burned to death in the middle of the night, and there were no bones left in the village, is this considered a disaster? If you fancy someone's wife and concubine and kill them all over the house, take away their wives and daughters, is it considered a disaster for the people? ”

The Empress Dowager couldn't listen to it anymore, she took the case: "You shut up the mourning family, don't think that you can pour dirty water on the Shangguan family, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world can testify for my Shangguan family"

The emperor waved his hand lightly: "This is the paper that sued the Shangguan family around the capital, and I don't know how much of it was destroyed; The Shangguan family has brought disaster to the country and the people, and they still want to get involved in my harem, threatening that the queen is not Shangguan's surname, and the Shangguan family now wants the queen's position, and he will not hesitate to use all kinds of means, if he wants my throne in the future, will I also respect the order of the empress dowager, and it is right to give it up? ”

Chapter 841: What's Wrong

The Empress Dowager picked up those things and looked at them twice, then put them down and looked at the emperor: "Why do you say this, even if the Shangguan family does not have these faults, can the emperor let go of the Shangguan family?" "No mistakes, no skipping words. She understood very well: "It's just that the emperor thinks that the Shangguan family has too many constraints, too much to the eyes and too much to obstruct." But don't forget, the emperor, how could you be on the throne without the Shangguan family."

The emperor looked at the Empress Dowager: "If the Shangguan family really doesn't have these faults, I will definitely not touch the Shangguan family; The reason why the Shangguan family can't be tolerated is because the Shangguan family is becoming more and more arrogant, and it is unbearable to talk about it in the long run. ”

The Empress Dowager widened her eyes: "Be ungrateful, be ungrateful, Emperor, your wings have grown stiff, and the mourning family has no way to keep the people safe, so why should you plant a big crime on the head of Shangguan and a family?" If you really have been deceived by you once, you think that the mourning family still can't understand it. ”

"First of all, Concubine Xian and Concubine Chun turned against each other, and did not hesitate to use the two girls to make a bitter trick to deceive the mourning family into believing Concubine Xian, and let her live in Cining Palace day and night as a companion - can you still hide it from her? Then the emperor and the pure concubine came to press step by step, and the pure concubine in the palace is less and less concerned about the mourning family, and the mourning family will be in a hurry to draft the girl, naturally they will not let the Shangguan family be more prepared, and there is no one to believe in the palace except for the concubine, of course she will tell her the show girl prepared by the Shangguan family. ”

"After the pure concubine was happy, she deliberately made a big fight, which attracted the suspicion of the mourning family to attract the senior monks into the palace, and then let the mourning family know that the emperor had already prepared, and the foreign clan had passed the news, forcing the Hu family to avoid the Shangguan family, so that the mourning family and the Shangguan family could not help but trust the concubine and the Zhao family, and the next spring ploughing was of course a logical frame-up. As for those fine iron weapons, if it weren't for the emperor and the pure concubine pressing forward step by step, how could the Shangguan clan sell them in a hurry? ”

"It's not a matter of urgency, of course, no one will be caught, and at this time, the emperor doesn't have to pretend to be benevolent in front of the mourning family. It's just that you are high at chess this time, and the Shangguan family knows how to mourn the family in the end, and the emperor will give a fair word even if you slander the future generations. ”

After the Empress Dowager thought of the withdrawal of the Hu family, the head of the Shangguan family hurriedly entered the palace to discuss countermeasures: the weapons and fine iron made by the Shangguan family had accumulated a lot in the books, and they just wanted to sell them at a good price to get a few dollars. Of course, the Empress Dowager scolded her for this, and she dared to think of such a head-killing thing? Those iron ore and other things are in the hands of the Shangguan family, which is a talisman and a life talisman, and you must be strict with yourself in order to always maintain your wealth.

She meant to let the people of the Shangguan family bury the extra things deeply, and never do such things again in the future; But she didn't expect that the head of the Shangguan family was so confused, and now that she was caught by the emperor with such a big handle, she still had something to say? The emperor and Concubine Chun had long planned to deal with the Shangguan family, but unfortunately, the Shangguan family was still arrogant and thought that the emperor would never dare to touch them now.

The emperor was not angry after hearing this: "What the Empress Dowager said is true, it is indeed our design, but if the Shangguan family is not self-corrupting and full of insects, can a small plan help the Shangguan family?" I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager still thinks that the Shangguan family was forced by me to sell weapons? It's not the first time they've done it, all the weapons of Mrs. Shangguan's father's family are from our Heavenly Empire, but there is no record in the accounts handed over by the Shangguan family. ”

"Also, Mrs. Shangguan's father is dead, and Mrs. Shangguan's eldest brother is also dead, and now her father's family is in charge of her younger brother. He was able to ascend to that position and lead the whole clan because of my help. The emperor looked at the Empress Dowager: "But I believe that the Empress Dowager is completely ignorant of what the Shangguan clan is doing. ”

The Empress Dowager sat down on the chair with a weak body, and she looked at the emperor with blank eyes: "The Shangguan clan now?" ”

"It should have been caught in Dali Temple." The emperor did not shy away from saying: "The Shangguan family is guilty of a big crime, and the empress dowager helps him to install concubines in the palace, which is also a big crime." He looked at the Empress Dowager: "If the Empress Dowager is willing to tell how my mother died and who died at the hands of whom, I have never done it as the Empress Dowager." ”

Now the Shangguan family has been convicted, and the Empress Dowager is also at fault: the Shangguan family has fallen, and the Empress Dowager is also very clear about this.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she looked at Concubine Chun: "You actually told the emperor about this a long time ago?" Then he muttered: "No wonder the emperor is an enemy of the Shangguan family and the mourning family everywhere, but he regards you as a treasure in his heart." She sighed long: "The mourning family has been in the palace for many years, and it can be said that it is hard to help your father ascend the throne, and I don't want to lose in the hands of the little palace slave in the end." ”

"Your mother's death is not the work of the mourning family, but the mourning family has connived, if the emperor really wants to know, let go of the old and young of the Shangguan family, let them go to the mountains and forests to live in peace, and the mourning family will know everything about the emperor and say everything." Staying in Qingshan is not afraid of running out of firewood, and she can't let the Shangguan family be wiped out, and let the Shangguan family be removed from the world's family.

Hongluan sighed lightly: "Empress Dowager, you can't think clearly, the first emperor is the son of your in-laws, and the current Son of Heaven is your grandson, can the Shangguan family get closer to your son and grandson?" "No mistakes, no skipping words. She waved her hand gently: "Please invite Imperial Lady Yang, Imperial Lady Ding and Imperial Female Wu to come in and kowtow to the Empress Dowager." ”

Since the Empress Dowager doesn't cry when she doesn't see the coffin, then she has to make the Empress Dowager sober up: "Imperial Lady Yang has told the palace and the emperor, and she still has the handwritten letter from the Shangguan family to her father, as well as the benefits of the Shangguan family allowing him the Yang family." In the letter, the head of the Shangguan family made it extremely clear that everything was the idea of the Empress Dowager. ”

The Empress Dowager looked at the three maidens who came in, and finally sighed for a long time: "The mourning family is tired, what does the emperor want to do with the mourning family, and now the mourning family is going to face the wall and think about it." She would never tell the Empress of the Death unless the Emperor spared the lives of her brothers and nephews.

She is the empress dowager of the Celestial Empire, even if she makes a big mistake, what can she do? The emperor couldn't give her a white silk to die, she didn't worry about herself at all, she was only worried about the Shangguan family.

"Imperial Girl Yang, the other two are fine, you accept the great grace of my Shangguan family and actually do something against the master, and the world will definitely spurn your Yang family." The Empress Dowager glanced at Imperial Lady Yang with annoyance before helping Shang Yi to leave.

Yang Yunu suddenly spoke at this time: "My ancestor saved the life of the head of the Shangguan family with two brothers, a son and an arm, so that he was gifted and freed; But over the years, the Shangguan family has repeatedly called my Yang family, treating us as their servants, and actually asked my Yang family to do such things, using the body of my Yang family's daughter as a step, for your Shangguan family's daughter to move towards the queen's position, it is really unbearable. My Yang family, I don't want to be the dog of the Shangguan family anymore, what's wrong? ”
