Chapter Twenty-Five: Attacking the Heart
He didn't have time to listen to these flashy words.
Ying Changshi said that he could solve this matter in a fanciful way, but now that the Lu family is unharmed, his current situation has not improved.
When King Lu is impatient, although he won't show it, but those of them who are long histories and strategists, what they are usually best at is to observe words and looks, and when they look at King Lu's appearance, they know that they are angry.
Mr. Huang hurriedly glanced at Ying Changshi, and was a little worried about Ying Changshi.
However, Ying Changshi was still unhurried, and said softly to King Lu: "Your Highness doesn't have to take care of the Lu family, the second miss of the Lu family is indeed a powerful character." However, my purpose has also been achieved, that is, the little prince really has a deep relationship with the Lu family and the Wei family. β
didn't shy away from finding a doctor for the Lu family, and Cui Minglou didn't plan to avoid people.
King Lu snorted: "King Zhou is proud this time!" β
Through this incident, King Zhou not only subdued and won over the Wei family, but also became an honest victim in front of Emperor Yongchang by the way.
In contrast, he lost the Wang family that had just formed an alliance, and he also had the Duke Mansion of Chu.
I don't want to pay these things back, and when he mentions these things, he is even more angry.
"Your Highness should make him proud." Ying Changshi said this, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, it should be the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in the palace in a few days." β
Speaking of this, King Lu thought of Princess Lu's attitude just now, and suddenly snorted coldly: "So what? β
Mid-Autumn Festival family banquets are held every year.
Originally, it stands to reason that he will not be able to participate this year, and the matter on the imperial tomb has not been completely completed.
But this year, I must stay in the capital.
Ying Changshi smiled: "Something happened to the Imperial Tomb." β
Mr. Huang looked at him inexplicably.
King Lu also frowned: "Nonsense! Although the king is in the capital, but the matter over there is the king is most concerned, if there is something, the people below will immediately come to report to the king to know, if something happens, how can the king not receive the news? β
Ying Changshi looked at King Lu with a smile.
King Lu originally felt that something was wrong, but he reacted when he saw it like this: "You mean ......"
Ying Changshi smiled slightly and shook the fan in his hand: "It is exactly what His Highness thinks, since he knows who is behind the trick and repeatedly destroys the palace's scheme, in fact, there is no need to rush to do anything for a while, what His Highness should do now is to minimize the impact of this matter as much as possible." β
King Lu was thoughtful.
In the middle of the sound, he got up and shook at Ying Changshi for a long time: "Mr. teach me!" β
Mr. Huang also expressed his appreciation.
The affairs of the Wang family have been in trouble for several days, and the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have worked together to finally interrogate the eucalyptus thoroughly and send the excerpt to the table of Emperor Yongchang.
Emperor Yongchang looked at the excerpt and was silent for a long time, then got up and went to Empress Dowager Cui's Cining Palace.
Since the matter of Mrs. Wang, the relationship between Emperor Yongchang and Empress Dowager Cui has been invisibly eased a lot, and Emperor Yongchang is also willing to talk to Empress Dowager Cui about some things.
Empress Dowager Cui was looking at the new batch of silk sent by the Weaving Bureau, and when she saw that Emperor Yongchang's eyebrows were frowning, she asked the people below to withdraw, and asked vigorously: "Is there a result of the interrogation of the three divisions?" β
nephew Mo Ruomu, although Emperor Yongchang has always been not close to Empress Dowager Cui, but Empress Dowager Cui claims to know her son.
Mother spoke first, and Emperor Yongchang nodded, reaching out and handing her the fold in his hand.
Empress Dowager Cui unfolded it, and the more she looked at it, the tighter her brows wrinkled.
Emperor Yongchang's tone was complicated on the side: "Erchen also knows that in recent years, the Wang family has relied on my favor and has been suspected of being spoiled, but taking care of the merits of the nurse, Wang Junshan has repeatedly saved me, so he always turns a blind eye, but I really didn't expect that they were lawless to this point!" β
Wang Wei won't talk about it first, he likes to kill, I don't know how many corpses were buried in the yard, and the fiancΓ©es who died tragically all died in his hands.
As for Wang Junshan, he has not been idle, and has occupied land in his hometown over the years, forcing the local people to have no way to seek help, and I don't know how many people have been displaced.
It's disappointing.
Empress Dowager Cui was much more determined, and after frowning, she put down the fold in her hand and looked at Emperor Yongchang seriously: "The emperor is indeed benevolent and righteous to Mrs. Wang, even if she has merit, the emperor has also given her far more glory than ordinary people, she has been honored until she dies, and her descendants are filial piety and considerate except for Wang Wei, who is not a master, and the rest can be regarded as filial piety and thoughtfulness, and she can be regarded as able to blind her eyes." β
These words comforted Emperor Yongchang a lot, and it was the first time he heard that Empress Dowager Cui was so gentle in the affairs of the Wang family, and he couldn't help but choke up and look at her: "Queen Mother....."
Empress Dowager Cui sighed softly: "The mourning family knows that you feel uncomfortable, emperor, you have done everything you can, and you don't have to feel guilty about the Wang family anymore." The Wang family has come to this day, and the reason why Mrs. Wang has an accident is because the Wang family's big house is too greedy, and the son is like killing a child....."
Emperor Yongchang had already made a decision in his heart, and he also knew that this time the matter was too bad.
It's just that when Empress Dowager Cui said this, he felt a lot better.
"Besides, the sins of the Wang family's big house should be as good as they are, and it will not delay the emperor to continue to give preferential treatment to the other Wang family members who have not made mistakes." Empress Dowager Cui raised her eyebrows: "The children of Mrs. Wang are not just the big house, if the emperor feels that he can't go away, he will give the things of the big room to the second or third room, so that it will not cut off the heir incense of the old lady Wang." β
When it comes to this, there is indeed nothing to be faulted with, and Emperor Yongchang exhaled: "I think the same way, and the queen mother and I want to go together." β
Empress Dowager Cui smiled in her heart.
Of course, she knew that it was impossible for Emperor Yongchang to exterminate the Wang family, so she didn't mention it at all.
Anyway, now that Mrs. Wang is dead, the person who can influence Emperor Yongchang the most no longer exists, and the Wang family's big house has also fallen, and the rest of the Wang family can no longer have any impact at all, so it is very convenient to use them as a tool to win over her son's heart.
Emperor Yongchang made a decision, his mind was broadened, and as soon as the topic changed, he asked Empress Dowager Cui: "I heard that the queen mother wants to summon a few girls outside the palace?" β
Mrs. Cui's color remained unchanged: "Yes, the mourning family is bored in the palace, before in the Huangjue Temple, it was very interesting to meet a little girl, I don't know if the emperor knows, before the old lady Wang also went to the palace to ask for a marriage for Wang Wei, and the girl who asked for the mourning family to summon was the girl." β
