Chapter 360: Reserved Titles, Interests of All Parties
Yi Jing knew that the Huang family had a connection with Mama Song, and this "virtuous and virtuous" stepmother was not as good as it seemed, and the second uncle had a close relationship with Yu Dong...... and so on vague clues, which seem to be able to be connected.
Although, this conjecture is terrifying.
If the stepmother plotted for the title of the Duke of Guofu, with her as a maid in the house, her ability was very limited, and in the previous life, the life and death of Yijing had no impact on the title of the Duke of Guogong, as long as Su Xun died, the son-in-law of the Huang family could successfully attack the title, and there was no need for the Huang family to collude with Mama Song to do such a risky evil thing as murdering the clan.
Unless the title of the Chu Wangfu is closely related to the Huang family.
At present, Huang Erye and Yu Dong have close contacts......
Assuming that Huang Erye surrendered to a certain prince and betrayed early, the assassination of the prince must have something to do with him, and it is very likely that the intention of buying Yu Dong is to store the position, since Yu Dong and Huang Er are the same raccoon dog, the Huang family has the motive of secretly helping Yu Zhou, using the winter rain to set up a trap to lure Yijing to "murder her husband" and then "fear of crime and take poison".
The death of the eldest brother in the previous life is likely to be the tacit understanding of Huang Er and a certain prince, who took the opportunity of murdering the prince to change the position of the prince of the Guogong Mansion!
The prince intends to save the position, and the two brothers and sisters Huang and Yu Dong's father and son also have their own plans!
And behind them, the third master of Jianning Houfu was also involved!
In the previous life, Huang Jiangyue was "indignant" about what happened to Yijing, and encouraged her to learn from the talented and beautiful women in the book and rely on herself to seek happiness.
And in this life, the saint gave marriage, Huang Wuniang and the third prince almost concluded a good relationship, but suddenly died!
The infected maid had only come into contact with Huang Jiangyue, and accepted the old clothes of the third lady, if those dresses were infected with rash poison...... It's not impossible, Huang Jiangyue has been successfully vaccinated with acne clothing, and like Yijing, she will no longer worry about getting acne.
But who is the prince behind that?
It may be the third prince, or the fourth prince, and even the families behind the rest of the princes may also buy Huang Er.
Yi Jing thought again that he had almost lost his life......
It should also be for the same reason as the death of the fifth cousin, once it has something to do with the third prince, it will affect the interests of some people.
But if the person behind the second uncle is the third prince, how to explain that the third prince's fate was hanging by a thread that day? This is not a bitter plan, even Mr. Qinggu said that he was not sure that he could save the lives of the three princes at that time, and the three princes were able to save the danger, and it was indeed his own life.
The prince who is only afraid but ambitious will not watch the marriage between the Guogong Mansion and the three princes.
Although the eldest sister in the previous life was not killed before marriage, or because her stepmother acted cautiously and was unwilling to take the risk to do it herself, didn't the eldest sister also "linger on the sickbed" after marriage?
Whose hand is it that is transferring the whole game?
And the suspicion in Yijing's heart, Yu Feng has long been insightful, but helplessly, the prince behind him has always been hidden in the fog.
At this time, she only listened to Yijing's intermittent words, Yu Feng already knew that she had the same idea as herself, and bowed her head slightly: "The third uncle is different from the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle, so he is not shallow in his studies, and he is also dyed with a habit of being a gentleman." ”
Of course, Yijing still has a little understanding of his third uncle, knowing that he is a gloomy temperament, and several uncles are not harmonious on the surface, his career has suffered many twists and turns, and he is a little unwilling in his heart.
Could it be that the third uncle was used by the second uncle because he was unwilling?
In the last life, it was she who harmed, but the person who harmed in this life was Houfu Wuniang, if this is the case, Jiang Yue must be the sharp knife that kills people, in the last life, she just used her friendship with Yijing for many years to play with her lips and tongue, but in this life, she murdered her blood sisters with her own hands!
But these are only conjectures, and they cannot be confirmed.
However, if Huang Er is really involved in the battle for the storage position, he is not afraid that he will not find the handle and wipe them out.
Yi Jing clenched his fists tightly, and asked Yu Feng again: "Didn't you find out which prince the second uncle was dealing with?" ”
Yu Feng shook his head: "It's not that he didn't find out who he had dealings with, but he had dealings with all the princes, he was a subordinate official of the East Palace, and it was reasonable to have dealings with the princes on the surface." ”
Thinking about it, the prince also had an order to let Huang Er envelop the princes, which was intended to be for the purpose of eyes and ears.
It is a matter of imperial power, and Huang Er cannot be criminalized based on speculation alone, and it must be found out whose lackey he is.
"Things have to be done step by step, start small first, I think the most important thing at the moment is to find out the cause of Wansi's death and solve the Song family first." Yu Feng said.
Yijing pondered for a moment, and also bowed his head in agreement.
Yu Feng and Yi Jing tacitly knew that the prince would be assassinated in the ninth year of Yuanqing, maybe the conspiracy had begun to be laid out at this time, and they had already taken precautions, and they might not be able to find the clues of the murderer as in that life.
Let's not talk about the two brothers and sisters of Huang, just talk about Yu Dong's father and son in the palace of the king of Chu, even if the cause of the death of the princess of Chu can be found out, in the end, it is an old past, and the queen mother has already had an attitude - it is inconvenient to investigate.
And in this life, Yu Dong can no longer easily get the opportunity to poison the son, and it is not easy to arrest him.
However, as long as Yu Dong is involved in the dispute over the storage position, there is no possibility for the Heavenly Family to let him go, and then the old case and the new crime will definitely be punished together, and Yu Dong will not escape death.
And Yu Feng thought more deeply than Yijing - the battle for the storage position may not wait for the ninth year of Yuanqing, when the turmoil of the abolished concubine is together, the prince's position will be stormy, if the prince is abolished, the storage position is empty, and some things are more and more uncontrollable.
Although Yu Feng believes that the crown prince is by no means the choice of the Ming monarch, and it is really not suitable for the king to reign in the world, he must temporarily keep the prince from being deposed in both public and private affairs.
And who will belong to the throne in the future is still unpredictable for the time being, Yu Feng thinks that he can only try his best to avoid the murder of the prince, so that the real culprit behind the scenes will fall short, and the blame will be inescapable, but whether the prince can finally inherit the unification, he does not want to intervene.
In his estimation, the crown prince is not only not the opponent of the four princes, but also cannot be compared with the three princes, as long as the saint has the heart of easy storage in his life, the crown prince's position is in jeopardy.
And the Holy One has obviously begun to hesitate.
When the foundation of the new system is laid, the imperial power can be concentrated, and the talents of several princes are displayed, which will show off the cowardice and incompetence of the prince, and it is only a matter of time before the prince is abolished.
The reason why the position of the prince in the previous generation is stable, in fact, is not because the saint values the concubine, but because the monarchy is controlled, and the official reform has not been successfully implemented.
Yu Feng speculated that the Holy Lord also wanted to evaluate the abilities of the sons, and when he had a clear candidate and was well prepared, he would mention Yi Chu.
But there are already people who can't wait to assassinate the prince.
I wonder who will be the winner in the end? And the winner of that life is very likely to be the culprit who caused the death of the two princes of the Chu Wangfu and the Weiguo Mansion.
Before he died, it was known that five or six adult princes had lost the opportunity, so it was very likely that there were three or four of them.
Who exactly?
This night, the husband and wife were both worried and had their own plans, and they didn't fall asleep until after the third watch.
——
As expected by Yu Feng and the three princes, Qin Xiang did not refute it, but strongly supported it, Wei Xiang was even more trembling, and Pingzhang and Shenzhi also followed the proposal, which was very smooth sailing.
Of course, there are a few noble families who have relatives in their hearts, and none of the people they rely on have disobeyed the holy will, and they do not dare to make trouble against the wind, and only secretly spread the news of the reform of the official system, focusing on the current officials in the court, but they are only shallow in learning, and rely on playing with power to get to the top of the house, among which the most resentful and uncontrollable person is Zhu Qian, who is the head of the ministry.
Zhu Qian is the eldest son of Mrs. Long's eldest brother.
To say that the Zhu family, originally also the Dongming family, but when mourning the emperor, he flattered the "Xiao Rebellion" to protect the wealth and glory, and was deeply ashamed of the famous family.
The Qin family didn't take the Zhu family in their eyes at all, but the big thing was imminent, and they didn't see it like such a person who saw the wind and steered the rudder.
Dalong founded the country, but the Zhu family failed to become a "hero" and gradually declined.
Zhu Qian's father, Zhu Wen, was unwilling to give up his glory, and he was bent on climbing the elite, but most families hated it, and they were tacitly excluded between their daughters.
The Zhu family is full of everything, in order to please the female relatives of the Zhenguo Mansion, Zhu Erniang did the matter of playing a fan for Xie Yunqing, and she wasted all her efforts to make a "confidant in the boudoir".
But the Zhu family is rotten in the hands of Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen's father is an official and very upright, and the father of Long Taifu is a friend of eight worships, after Zhu Wen's father died early, Long Taifu's father promised to let his eldest son marry his daughter Zhu Erniang as his wife before he died, and the two families are set to be doll relatives.
After the founding of Dalong, although the Zhu family became more and more unbearable, the Long family still did not abandon the faith, so Long Taifu married the Zhu family.
After years of hard work and the support of the Long family, Zhu Wen finally got married to a big family.
But it's the Ning family.
Mrs. Ning and Empress Kong are sisters of the same mother, and they are in-laws with the Kong family.
Zhu Wen married a concubine to the Ning family's concubine, only to find an official position for himself and his son, Zhu Qian is better at drilling camps than his father, and he actually got the position of the head of the ministry, relying on "introduction" of others to join the office, made friends with a group of declining families, and made a small fortune.
Originally, Zhu Qian also hooked up with Jin Rongzhong, but unfortunately now the Jin family has been wiped out.
Without this layer of reliance, Zhu Qian paid more and more attention to his dealings with the Ning family.
And the Ning family also has children in office, of course they don't want to reform the official system, but his in-laws, the Kong family, sit idly by, and the Ning family does not dare to come out and jump off the beam, but indulges Zhu Qian to take the lead, leading the declining family that finally spent a lot of money to let their children enter the government, ready to defend their own interests and oppose the new deal.
From the point of view of the Ning family, if it can make a storm, of course it will be beneficial to itself, if it is not successful, it will be Zhu Qian who is unlucky, the Ning family will not interfere, and the Kong family will maintain it, so there is no need to worry at all.
It's just that the Holy Lord has not yet openly discussed the matter of restructuring at the court meeting, and Zhu Qian's party naturally did not dare to refute it, and several activists held a small meeting, intending to start with the officials who supported the new system first.
Zhongshu Province naturally dare not offend, Su Yi and Yu Feng are even more to avoid, Zhu Qian set the target on Wei Yuan, Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, he is only a mere five grades, although the Wei family is also a prestigious family, but there is no prestige, but there are not many children in the clan who hold important positions, compared to the two phases and Su, Yu few, Wei Yuan is indeed a soft pistol.
Zhu Qian originally planned to take Wei Yuan's handle first, and when the Holy Edict announced the new system, he used the impeachment of Wei Yuan to directly point out that Wei Yuan's flattery of the Holy Lord's reform was for his own personal gain, Wei Wangyong is the head of Mingshan Academy, once he becomes an official school in the future, can he not be in charge of the career of the student?
Zhu Qian got the indication of the Ning family, and thought that the two ministers and the family clan were just openly in favor and secretly opposed, as long as they provoked this momentum, even if the important ministers stood by and watched, but they would also signal the support of the party behind him, Zhu Qian was quite proud of his strategy - taking advantage of this opportunity, maybe he could attract more families, those nobles who did not dare to oppose the new system because of the suppression of the Weiguo Mansion and the Chu Wangfu, maybe they would also secretly admire themselves as a righteous and outspoken person, and make friends in private.
Helplessly, Zhu Qian inquired around, and found that Wei Yuan had not long been in the Shishi, and he was in the Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and he was not yet in time, and he had no opportunity to embezzle and accept bribes, so he really had no handle for them to participate.
There is no chance to create opportunities, so on this day, Wei Yuan went to the teahouse in Ping'anfang to listen to books on a whim because of his rest, and was inexplicably blackmailed.
