Volume 1: The First Birth (The Future Is Unclear, Friend and Foe Are Inseparable; Clues to the real murderer) Chapter 61 Approaching the Truth
In short, Princess Weijun entered the palace this time, and many troubles were not spoken, and in the end, in addition to the queen mother's reprimand, she only had to convey a sentence to Brother Wanwan to pay close attention to the whereabouts of the people in Liufu, she was not discouraged, but smiled at the corner of her lips - sure enough, as her husband analyzed, Sister A is unwilling to give up many prestigious families easily, the more coquettish and straightforward she is, the more she will find out more hidden secrets - no, today's trip, I know more about it.
Although the Queen Mother still has reservations about the Duke of Yuanping County, she does have a deep trust in Liu Shi's legacy.
Xiao Wei was satisfied, and the news that came back to Qiao's side was naturally very good, and Jinhuayuan was full of laughter, but in addition to Liufu, everything was calm.
Eleven Niang is actually secretly anxious.
At this time, she was still not sure how Mrs. Wei would respond, because Ah Hao and Qi Niang entered the palace together, and the situation became more complicated.
Even if Mrs. Wei has always been fair and not an illusion, it is not like the honey-bellied sword, two-sided and three-knife that Eleven Niang suspected at first, but it is human nature to be close and sparse, if the Queen Mother threatens to persecute Qi Niang's safety, Mrs. Tai will not only care about Si Niang and sacrifice her own granddaughter, not to mention, this matter is different from Yao Ji's case, and it also involves the rise and fall of the family.
At this time, Shi Niang learned that the Yichuan County King and his wife were not unrelated to He Yande's Prince and even Pei Zhengmou's rebellion, and she already suspected that the Queen Mother was more likely to be the real culprit behind the scenes - if Xiao Wei had assassinated the former county princess Du because of her admiration for the King of Yichuan, of course, this matter was covered up by the Empress Dowager Wei, so that Xiao Wei and his boudoir would put his hand into the Yichuan Palace, and even more, there were also Yichuan County Kings who ignored it, resulting in this matter not leaking, even if the Du family suspected that their daughter's death was not so simple, they could not find real evidence, so they had to swallow their anger.
What does this mean? It shows that the king of Yichuan County had the heart to surrender to the Empress Dowager Wei early in the morning, thinking that it would be more beneficial for the future to marry Xiao Wei as a concubine after his wife died.
And if the Queen Mother is really the culprit, single-handedly plotting the reverse case, forcing the Son of Heaven to severely punish the rebellious, those inconsistencies that make people puzzled seem to be "solved" one by one.
But what still bothers Eleven Niang is the motive, not only did the Pei Zheng family and the Empress Dowager Wei have a grudge, but even the grandfather also made the first contribution to He Yan's succession, the Empress Dowager Wei is He Zhen's mother, and it is impossible to hold a grudge against the Pei family because of this matter, if the Empress Dowager is the mastermind, then something must have happened, so that the Empress Dowager regards the Pei Zheng clan as a threat, and she is not relieved.
Eleven Niang thought of the role of the king of Yichuan County in the matter of He Yan's prince - if it weren't for the fact that Dezong was seriously ill and his only sister-in-law, He Ye, was young, and Xiao Cui Hou colluded with his father and brother to form a gang, his grandfather would not be worried about the new emperor after the collapse of Dezong and he would not be able to govern the new emperor, so that his relatives would have dictatorship. However, the king of Yichuan County had frequent contacts with Cui Mu's father and son at that time...... Cui Mu's father and son jumped up and down, busy coercing and luring the civil and military ministers to establish their heirs, and it was likely that the king of Yichuan County "made suggestions".
If this assumption is true, Empress Dowager Wei will have a plan and will not be ignorant of the government.
Eleven Niang thought of the Empress Dowager's grandmother Duanhuiwen, and she was once ordered by Wenzong to listen to the government with the respect of the Empress Dowager because of her weak son-in-law...... He Yan was seventeen when he succeeded to the throne, of course, unlike the ignorant child, the Queen Mother could not justifiably intervene in the government affairs, but He Yan was filial piety, and he has always been gentle and cowardly, if the Empress Dowager Wei wants to interfere in politics, he will mostly compromise on filial piety.
This can also explain that at the beginning of He Yan's ascension to the throne, he inexplicably promoted Xie Raoping, Mao Wei and other mediocre politicians to high officials regardless of public advice!
Empress Dowager Wei must also understand that there is a lot of resistance to her ambitions, and she can't do without the help of foreign courts, but important ministers such as her grandfather will inevitably try to prevent the harem from interfering in politics, and Empress Dowager Wei can only persuade He Yan to promote those with lowly official positions, trying to entrap Xie and Mao's henchmen to be loyal to her and compete with the old ministers of Dezong.
Shi Niang even suspected that Xie, Mao and others had been enveloped by the Queen Mother long before the collapse of Dezong, especially Xie Raoping!
Xie Wei's two families are world friends, Wei Jing, the father of the Queen Mother, appreciates Xie Raoping very much, and has long had the intention of marrying, and now Xie Raoping's wife is the sister of Mrs. Wei!
But Mrs. Wei is not like a "supporter" of the Queen Mother, but she often communicates with Mrs. Wei of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and several of Mrs. Wei's daughters-in-law often come to Liufu to visit their aunts, so Eleven Niang is not sure whether this assumption is true.
But if the Queen Mother is the mastermind...... Because the Son of Heaven does not reuse Xie and Mao according to the official system, he will inevitably lead to the advice of his grandfather and other officials, and He Yan is in a dilemma, maybe he will tell his grandfather that everything is instructed by the Queen Mother...... Grandfather will definitely oppose the Empress Dowager's interference in court politics and disrupt the official system, and strongly advise He Yan not to indulge the Empress Dowager's involvement in politics, so wouldn't it become a stumbling block for the Empress Dowager to get involved in power?
If this is the truth, Empress Dowager Wei is ambitious, and of course she will not stop there.
Then take advantage of the opportunity of the new Turks to force Chuzi and the grandfather to send troops to help, and single-handedly plan to plot against the unjust case and eradicate the Pei Zheng clan......
This can also explain that He Yan clearly promised to be in advance, and did not believe that Pei Zheng had the heart of disobedience, but when Pan rebelled and sacrificed the northern Liao army to respect himself, he was forced to order a heavy punishment due to "conclusive evidence...... Mother's last words, the saint is also forced to helpless...... Perhaps, since my grandfather had insight into the ambitions of the Queen Mother, he also thought that he might encounter a catastrophe, however, he was still unwilling to compromise in order to be loyal to the monarchy, and his mother was the wife of the Pei family.
Because he had no choice but to exterminate Pei Zheng, He Yan felt deeply guilty, so he avoided seeing it for those days...... And she was placed under house arrest in the deep palace, not because of He Yan's order, but because of the Queen Mother!
Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why He Yan refuted the admonition of the Xie Party after the abolition, but on the other hand, she was placed under house arrest and not allowed to be free, and on the other hand, he instructed his henchmen and eunuchs to take care of her, and even allowed Ye Zhaoyuan to enter the forbidden garden to take care of her daily life, let alone explain why He Yan told the world not to stand up again after she was poisoned and died.
He was really ashamed, but even so, Eleven Niang would not let go.
She felt that she was getting closer to the truth, and there was only a veil of shadow between her and the culprit.
One day, they will face each other and break their enmity.
The most important thing now is to uncover this veil, she must determine the true murderer and mortal enemy, and then start the road of revenge of Zhaoxue full of unpredictable thorns, even if it is a sword to meet each other, life and death will never hesitate to retreat.
Even if you have to subvert the world, you don't hesitate.
Eleven Niang while calculating, while calmly putting down the pen, the book into a "snow" word, the strokes are sleek, and it seems that there is no sharp hide.
"The word little lady is getting more and more neat." Binu admired from the sidelines.
Eleven Niang smiled slightly: "I still haven't understood what Fengzang is." ”
She was slightly concentrating, and when she wanted to put down the pen, she was disturbed by Fu Yuan, and the servant smiled sincerely, and spoke with a little excitement: "Little lady, Siniang and Qiniang have come back from the palace, I heard that they have entered the second gate and are about to come to Xuxiaotang." ”
Liu Yinru's testimony that day, although it was not widely publicized, but the servants and maids in Xuxiao Hall couldn't hide it, and everyone was hanging for the two little ladies these days, and when they heard that the little master had returned safely, they were all relieved, and it was no wonder that Fu Yuan immediately came to inform.
Eleven Niang also hurriedly put down her pen: "I'll go to welcome the fourth sister and the seventh sister." ”
But was stopped by Fu Yuan: "The Queen Mother sent the inner servants to send back Siniang and Qiniang, Xu has something to explain, and the little lady is inconvenient to disturb." ”
Sure enough, there is still a ...... Shi Niang weighed and still walked out: "It's okay, I won't disturb my grandmother talking with the waiter, just wait in the small hall behind the door." ”
Fu Yuan still felt that it was inappropriate, but she was persuaded by Binu again: "The last time the palace servant came here, didn't Mrs. Tai also allow the little lady to hear the talk in the small hall, why should Ah Yuan worry." ”
Such a block, Fu Yuan only hesitated slightly, but Eleven Niang had already trotted through the bluestone road between flowers and trees, and went straight to the back hall of the main hall, Fu Yuan had no choice but to give up, when she saw that the maid next to Mrs. Tai did not stop Eleven Niang, but helped her to cross the threshold, Fu Yuan simply did not follow in, only stood at the bottom of the steps with Binu to listen.
