Chapter 237: Choice
Xiao Lingjiang cleared his throat and said slowly: "Yong'an's trip is to Chizhou, and what he investigated is actually the collusion between the Jiangbei Mei clan and the Divine Palace. In the meantime...... It even involves the ...... of Emperor Yongmu."
"Jiangbei Mei's? Yongmu? The emperor couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
This Jiangbei Mei family, he has not heard anyone mention it for many years.
The queen was born in the Li family, but her biological mother was not the wife of the Li family, but a side room, the daughter of the Mei family in Jiangbei.
He knew it.
It's just that her biological mother died early, and the queen has been recorded in the name of Mrs. Li Jiayan since she was a child, and she raised her, so she is no different from her daughter.
In addition, he was not valued when he was a prince, and it was reasonable to marry such a daughter of a big family.
The queen's biological mother has passed away for many years, and she has been raised under the knees of Mrs. Li's family, and her close self is only Mrs. Li's maiden family, so no one has mentioned the Jiangbei Mei family for a long time.
What's more, Mei Qu, the current head of the Mei family, has the royal blood of the previous dynasty, and the queen is now in a high position, so naturally she has to make a clear relationship with it.
It's just that Yong'an's investigation of the Divine Palace, how did he find out about Mei's head, and it still has a lot to do with Yongmu?
Seeing the emperor's suspicious look, Xiao Lingjiang brought what happened in Chizhou on her trip one by one, from the north someone saw a woman haunting the wasteland to do things for the shrine, and took a portrait of Chizhou to find people, to the woman recognized that this was her own daughter Mei Cen Niang, and there was a sudden disaster in Chizhou, and then took down Mei Qu's father and son, Mei Qing and identified it back......
In the meantime, the more the emperor listened, the more angry he became.
"Okay, they dare to cause a rebellion of fierce beasts and harm innocent people, this group of people is really mad and lawless!" He slapped his palm on the table, and his tone was full of anger.
The attendant on the side trembled lightly in his heart, lowered his head and quietly glanced at the emperor, seeing that his face was full of anger, he couldn't help lowering his head, looking at his nose and nose and heart, just thinking that his pestle was a human-shaped pillar there.
The emperor took the evidence and eucalyptus scrolls presented by Xiao Lingjiang, every word and deed, every evidence and everything was listed in it, and this matter of Mei's collusion with the Divine Palace was indeed confirmed.
"What a Mei ......," the emperor's eyes were slightly cold.
This Mei clan's collusion with the Divine Palace, he is not so surprised.
Although the head of the family is good, how can the king of a country tempt people?
Mei Qu is the son of the princess of the previous dynasty, if she really has the heart to overthrow the Great Zhou and revive the previous dynasty, once she does something, she will be considered famous.
And the shrine is also from the state religion of the former dynasty. At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because of its support for the emperor of the previous dynasty to resist the Zhou army, there were many casualties. Later, due to the situation, the Xuanmen was separated from it, and the Taiqingguan rose up and ranked first among the Xuanmen.
Therefore, it was resentful, and it was bent on subverting the imperial power of the Great Zhou.
Now it is almost logical for the two to hit it off and plot together against the past.
I just don't know...... This Mei family and the Divine Palace, who is the master and who is the auxiliary?
The Mei family has the bloodline of the previous dynasty, and if you want to revive the previous dynasty with this, you will be famous. In this way, the Mei family should be the mainstay.
If the Mei family is the mastermind behind everything, then as long as the Mei family is taken down, the shrine will be scattered without a leader.
But Xiao Lingjiang has been confronting the Divine Palace for so long, and this Divine Palace, as she had previously captured several Divine Palace Star Envoys, seemed to intend to establish the country with doctrine and put the Divine Palace doctrine above the imperial power. In this way, it should be based on the shrine.
Looking at it now, this Mei clan and the shrine are just a relationship between using each other and each having their own thoughts. As for who will kill the deer after that, it will be another game.
In any case, now that the relationship between the Mei clan and the Divine Palace is known, both must be taken, and they can no longer be left to their own devices.
The emperor put away the file in his hand, put it on the eucalyptus, raised his hand and looked at Xiao Lingjiang: "I know about the Mei family and the Divine Palace. It's just what you just said, what is it that this matter is still related to Yongmu? ”
He paused, and his eyes flashed slightly: "But the prince and the queen are also involved?" ”
The queen and the crown prince also have the blood of the previous dynasty, although it is already very small, but it is not impossible for the Mei family to borrow them.
overturned him, the emperor, directly helped the prince to the throne, and then set up a Mei daughter as the queen, and gave birth to a prince with Mei blood.
In this way, this Great Zhou is still the world of the Mei family and the world of the royal family of the previous dynasty. One day, if they want to change the dynasty, they can't do it!
Perhaps, when the queen, who has the blood of the Mei family in her body, is elected as the princess and gradually becomes the mother of a country, their plan has already begun!
The expression on the emperor's face changed several times, but he had already come up with a lot of them in a few snaps of his fingers.
Xiao Lingjiang looked at his frost-covered face, his expression became more and more solemn, and he knew where he was going.
To be honest, when she knew that Yongmu was the daughter of the Mei clan, she also had this kind of speculation in her heart.
This is undoubtedly the most convenient and trouble-free way for Mei's.
The prince was not used properly, and when the position of the prince was in danger, Yongmu appeared beside him, step by step by the outside world to remove the king of Duan, and then gradually won the prince's reliance.
Judging from this step, the Mei family seems to have placed a crucial chess piece next to the prince.
It's just that if the Mei family wants to do this, they shouldn't let the Divine Palace shake the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, causing turmoil in the north and south, and setting up civil unrest and epidemics in the territory.
Taking over a fragmented and turbulent Great Zhou is not very beneficial to the crown prince and the Mei family, who have different thoughts.
Unless...... They didn't intend to start with the prince, or maybe it wasn't the best way they had in mind.
Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but think of Mei Jiulang again, the eldest grandson of the legendary weak but talented Mei family.
If the Mei family wants to borrow the crown prince to seek the throne, it will not be possible to obtain it for two generations. And so many ministers in the court are not stupid, even if the crown prince ascends the throne and wants to make the Mei family daughter the queen, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to implement, let alone set up another prince with the blood of the Mei family?
Even if it is feasible, if the Mei clan wants to change the dynasty in the future, it must leave a reputation as a rebellious minister and thief. Just like the Sima clan who usurped Cao Wei, even if he established a new dynasty, wouldn't he be spurned in the annals of history?
Since ancient times, it has been important to justify one's name, especially those who call the king emperor. The monarch should be named the Son of Heaven, and the Han Dynasty Gaozu Liu Bang also had to use the name of the son of the Red Emperor to kill the snake uprising.
Mei's ...... I don't think you necessarily want to be stigmatized, do you?
What about another way?
Under the planning of the Mei family and the Divine Palace for decades, if the Great Zhou Kingdom continues to shake and the people suffer, it is impossible to ask them to find an opportunity to overthrow and rebuild.
Although this method is a little troublesome, it can seek the right name and the people's heart, so that it can go further.
Xiao Lingjiang didn't answer the emperor's question immediately, and she couldn't draw a conclusion immediately, but asked him by the way: "Uncle Huang, which method do you think the Mei family will choose?" ”
