Chapter 58: The Imperial Complaint
A handful of snot and a handful of tears, Yuan Xiaoju, who didn't want any image, sued in front of the emperor and empress.
When he finished talking about the matter, the emperor and queen glanced at each other, looking at the posture in front of them, Yuan Xiaoju obviously refused to let the matter be revealed easily, and today's trouble will inevitably make the princes and nobles of the capital know about it.
If it is not properly solved, I am afraid that there will be a lot of hidden dangers.
The emperor was a little displeased, this is the prince's family matter, and now it is like this, he has a feeling that he has been set up by Yuan Xiaoju, and he has to make a decision, or even make a trade-off.
Yang Jian didn't like it, or should say he hated it.
Queen Dugu noticed Yang Jian's displeasure, and the two of them had a heart, Queen Dugu spoke first, with a little apology: "Motozuka Zai, this palace will definitely investigate this matter in person, and the investigation will be clear, and the crown princess will definitely not be wronged, but you can't make a conclusion based on the words of a little palace maid, you say yes." ”
Yuan Xiaoju kowtowed and said: "Queen Mother, you know the old minister, the old minister has no merit and hard work over the years, there is only such a daughter, the pearl in the palm of her hand, although she is not a princess like a noble identity, but it can be regarded as knowledgeable, and now she is being persecuted like this, and the old minister is ...... in his heart I can't bear it. ”
At this time, Yuan Xiaoju had completely disregarded any of his own image, he knew that such an approach might dislike the emperor, and there was no dignity at all, but he had to do it.
Because of what happened to his daughter over the years, there is a trace of this factor, but the bigger reason is that he knows that his daughter can't fight Yun Zhaoxun.
These years have been enough to show that the crown princess is a happy and happy woman, a little arrogant and unreasonable, has a lot of petty tempers, and can't hold her husband's heart, in front of a scheming woman like Yun Zhaoxun, ruthless and who knows how to please and flatter, she is definitely not an opponent.
I was almost persecuted before, and now I have the eldest grandson of the royal family, what if my grandson is also persecuted?
The eldest grandson of the current royal family is the biggest guarantee for their Yuan family in the next few decades, to put it bluntly, he is not for his daughter, but for the newborn grandson He, the glory and wealth of the Yuan family in the next few decades.
He didn't want this face, he let it go, that is, he wanted to sweep away the scourge in the East Palace, and if the scourge was in one day, he would be restless for a day.
Sometimes, the comparison between people is who is more open-minded than others.
Yuan Xiaoju is like this, no matter how perfunctory the emperor and empress are, they must give him a reasonable explanation.
Queen Dugu knew about this matter before, Xiao Menglan had already ordered someone to enter the palace to report to her, she was also uncomfortable, this Yun Zhaoxun was too presumptuous, and she arranged the princess to go outside the palace and wanted to do something, she solemnly asked the grandmother in the palace to warn once, she herself didn't even want to see this woman.
If it weren't for the prince's confusion by Yun Zhao's training, Queen Dugu might even deal with it directly, but the prince is not easy to explain, and she is really disappointed in the East Palace, even if the emperor tells her to take care of it, she just doesn't bother to take care of the affairs of the East Palace.
If this matter is changed to the Jin Palace, Queen Dugu may directly kill Xiao Menglan to be the master, punish what should be punished, kill what should be killed, and sell what should be sold.
One is that Xiao Menglan is favored by her, and the other is that she knows that she used to do these things in the Jin Palace, and her good son Yang Guang will not say anything, but the prince is different, the prince will inevitably complain and even quarrel with her, and the relationship between mother and son is not harmonious now.
Queen Dugu looked at Yuan Xiaoju, walked down, and stretched out her hand to help him up: "Yuan Tsukazai, you are also a veteran minister for so many years, you still want to be decent in Beijing, how bad it is for you to spread your appearance like this." ”
"Queen, Niangniang, the old minister is really helpless, the old minister has been cautious for many years, but I didn't expect that after getting old, my daughter would have to be bullied by the woman who had no door and no household, if this was replaced by other nobles in Beijing, the face would have been lost long ago, I am afraid that I will fight to the death with a sword."
"Net said this nonsense, it's all a family, how can there be any fighting, killing and killing, since this palace said that it will investigate to the end, it will definitely be investigated to the end."
Yuan Xiaoju still seemed to be dissatisfied with the queen's promise, and continued to kneel down directly: "Your Majesty, the queen, that demon girl doesn't know what means to confuse His Royal Highness the Prince, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoils him everywhere, and the ministers are afraid...... Fear ...... It's the queen's mother, and she can't do anything with her. ”
Queen Dugu's face was gloomy, and the emperor sitting on top of her had a very ugly face.
Yuan Xiaoju deliberately said such things to provoke them, and the queen promised not to investigate thoroughly, and the emperor promised to punish them heavily.
Yuan Xiaoju was a smart man, wouldn't he know that such an act would definitely anger the emperor?
Of course he does.
But he has to do it, as long as he can get rid of Yun Zhaoxun from the East Palace, it is natural to pay some price.
He knew that this matter had to be agreed by the emperor himself, the emperor personally asked, and the emperor personally punished, otherwise it was likely that the prince would be able to find a way to get Yun Zhaoxun out.
His worries are correct, the queen mother's attitude of caring about the East Palace, this time because of the birth of her grandson, she will help well, but she may not be able to put Yun Zhaoxun to death, after all, even if the queen mother wants to kill Yun Zhaoxun, she has to ask the prince what she wants, and she can't force her actions.
There must be no hidden dangers left, and they must be cleaned up at one time, which is the purpose of Yuan Xiaoju this time.
The emperor who was put on the stage had a gloomy face and looked at Yuan Xiaoju.
Yuan Xiaoju didn't dare to look at the emperor, the kind of gaze of the superior towards the courtiers seemed to cut him with a thousand knives, just like a teacher staring at a student who made a mistake.
Swallowing his saliva and condensing his mind, Yuan Xiaoju continued: "Please also ask Your Majesty to be the master of Weichen." ”
Yang Jian saw Yuan Xiaoju's persistence, his eyes closed slightly, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly opened them again, without any emotion in his words.
"I already know about the matter, I have my own opinion, and you can go home and wait for the news with peace of mind."
received a positive answer from the emperor, Yuan Xiaoju, who was covered with cold sweat, kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you to the queen." ”
Before Yuan Xiaoju left, Yang Jian's serious and cold voice came from behind him: "Yuan Xiaoju, this matter is a family matter of the prince, I and the queen will handle it properly, and will not let your daughter be wronged, get up, get dressed, the official robe and hat I gave you, if you take it off again, you don't have to wear it again." ”
Frightened, he knelt on the ground again, and then looked at the dragon chair, the emperor's murderous face made his heart sink.
The Son of Heaven was furious, and the corpses were floating for thousands of miles.
At this time, there seemed to be a blood dragon coiling on the Golden Temple, and there was sticky blood on its body, dripping on the floor of the Golden Temple, penetrating into it, as if there were countless wails.
Yuan Xiaoju didn't dare to stay for a long time, and immediately left the main hall with his official robe.
As soon as he left, the emperor's already gloomy face, now his anger appeared, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuan Xiaoju seems to think that he can influence my behavior, and he has crossed the line. ”
When Yang Jian was really angry, Empress Dugu became the only person who could comfort the emperor.
"Your Majesty is not more annoyed, Yuan Xiaoju's move is probably also a helpless behavior, after all, he is loyal to His Majesty, everyone is a little selfish, he thinks about his daughter, for the sake of the newborn emperor and grandson, it is also a reasonable thing, and if the matter is true, Yun Zhaoxun should indeed clean it up, how can this side concubine dare to arrange someone to assassinate the princess, messing up the etiquette and messing up the position."
The emperor had a lot of complaints about this matter: "I told you to take good care of this Yun Zhaoxun before, but you didn't do anything." ”
"That's the tip of the prince's heart, and the palace can't do anything about her."
The emperor said with a cold face: "That woman from a small family, you can't do anything about her?" ”
"Naturally, the way is not really no way, but the palace doesn't want to hurt the harmony of the mother and son, the prince attaches great importance to Yun Zhaoxun, and usually only lives in the Yun Zhaoxun Palace when he returns to the East Palace, and he has the grace alone, you know the prince's temper, if the palace is particularly aimed at Yun Zhaoxun, I am afraid that I will be blamed on me, the head of the mother."
"I didn't care about it before, but now it's okay, Yuan Xiaoju has made such a fuss, how can we end it? Instead of dealing with her, it seems like we are both afraid of her. ”
Queen Dugu asked: "Your Majesty, although there is no evidence, but the concubine thinks that it should be eight or nine without leaving ten, and it is really investigated, that is a capital crime, and she will be killed if she doesn't say a word to the prince?" ”
The emperor frowned slightly, for the sake of a concubine who made a mistake, it is irrational and unreasonable to think about it against the emperor and empress, normal people will never be able to do it, but the words of his eldest son are really difficult to say.
Although embarrassed, Yang Jian finally decided: "You do what you should do, I don't believe it, my son, what stupid thing can you do?" ”
"The concubine will not be merciful."
The emperor finally instructed: "Yun Zhaoxun is also a descendant of our royal family, you can find out, but you can't frame her, you have to find out the evidence, you have to have conclusive evidence." ”
"The concubine understands."
Queen Dugu led people straight to the East Palace, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids without warning directly surrounded Yun Zhaoxun's courtyard, and without saying a word, they took down all the people in the courtyard first.
When Yun Zhaoxun hadn't seen Queen Dugu arrive, he shouted, "What are you doing?" Who are you? I actually rushed to the courtyard of the main palace to spread the wilderness, get out of here. ”
"Hongu? You, a crown prince, Zhaoxun, have you now called yourself the main palace? It's really unexpected. ”
Hearing the voice of the lonely queen, Yun Zhaoxun immediately put away his arrogant appearance and turned into a well-behaved little white rabbit and a lovely daughter-in-law.
"The daughter-in-law sees the queen mother."
Queen Dugu didn't pay attention to her salute, nor did she let her get up, and the palace maid behind her brought over a chair with a mahogany carved phoenix and sat down slowly.
"Yun Clan, this palace didn't expect you to look at your little man, but he was surprisingly bold, and he dared to assassinate the crown princess."
was questioned like this, Yun Zhaoxun replied unhurriedly: "Queen Mother, daughter-in-law has lived in the East Palace for a long time, and she has never even taken a step out of the door, and she is like a sister with the crown princess, and the relationship with each other is really good, I don't know who falsely accused her daughter-in-law in front of the queen mother, and asked the queen mother to learn clearly." ”
"Put away the pitiful appearance of you who deceived the prince, this palace hates this delicate and flattering appearance the most."
This way of winning all battles in front of the prince is useless here for the queen mother, after all, women are much more powerful than men when it comes to finding out who is watching.
"Queen Mother, I really don't understand what you're talking about."
At this time, her son ran to her side crying, and when she saw Queen Dugu's battle, the two little dolls burst into tears and cried for a while.
Yun Zhaoxun comforted his child instead: "Don't cry, your imperial grandmother just came to see you." ”
Take the child to make a fuss, but Queen Dugu is still useless here.
Queen Dugu said to the palace maid beside her: "Take the emperor and grandson down first, and move to live in another palace." ”
The children cried and cried, and even though they were punched and kicked, they were taken down.
Queen Dugu said to Yun Zhaoxun again: "During her pregnancy, the crown princess encountered a danger in the East Palace, and the person who did it seemed to be unintentional, but he committed suicide directly. ”
"When you get to the prince's mansion outside, you can still provoke the palace maids around the princess, but this palace didn't expect you to have such ability, but this palace underestimated you."
Yun Zhaoxun still said with pear blossoms and rain: "Queen Mother, you must impose these unfounded things on the sons and daughters, the sons are really bitter and unspeakable, and there is nowhere to redress their grievances, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that you have wronged your sons so much, he will also be distressed." ”
"The palace maid has already confessed everything you did to provoke her, how can it be said that there is no evidence?"
"The queen mother must not believe the words of a palace maid."
Looking at Yun Zhaoxun's appearance of being beaten to death, Queen Dugu sneered: "This time this time this palace, do you think it will let you escape punishment by being pretentious?" Your Majesty has already ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, and when the palace has severely examined the palace maids and eunuchs around you one by one, the matter will already have a rough result. ”
Yun Zhaoxun can't do these things alone, someone must help, don't the cronies around her know?
Hearing that it was the emperor who wanted to investigate thoroughly, Yun Zhaoxun's heart sank with a thud.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, this matter is really not done by the son-in-law, it is wronged."
Queen Dugu flicked her sleeves: "Come on, lock Yun Zhaoxun in the side room, no one can enter or leave without the order of the palace, let the old lady in the palace come over, and the palace will interrogate the maids around her one by one." ”
Carpet interrogation, indiscriminate torture.
Yun Zhaoxun was taken down in the wail, and screams sounded one after another in the East Palace, whips, wooden horses, and all kinds of disgraceful torture instruments appeared one after another in the East Palace at this time.
As long as it is the people in Yun Zhaoxun's courtyard, no one can escape.
