Chapter 48: Guess the Truth
"Possibly!" When Zhao Fujin heard this speculation, he actually smiled: "If it's true, they want to harm me, but it's difficult." ”
"Huh? Emperor Ji, if it's true, the old lady of the Fang family took this mother and daughter to commit adultery and kill people with Qin Xiang, aren't you even more troublesome? Qiong Ye didn't understand why Emperor Ji heard about it, not only did she not worry, but she also seemed to be more relaxed.
"Regardless of whether Qin Xiang's accusation is true or not, your emperor and I have received 500,000 taels of silver from Old Lady Bai, and this thing cannot be faked." Zhao Fujin stretched out his slender and round fingers, picked it up slightly, picked up the wrapped hand stove on the table, held it in his arms, and said slowly: "If I guess correctly, the Meng family is planning to take this matter and let me go to court with Old Madam Bai." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Jia, which one will she unite to deal with me, this is really curious."
……
East Palace.
Prince Zhao Huan is very fond of fish farming, as early as before the snow, all the fish in the flower port fish viewing platform in his courtyard were lifted and put into a few large tanks behind the nine-curved bead curtain.
Zhao Huan held a wooden hammer in one hand and fish food in the other, and after smashing the thin ice on the surface of the large tank, he watched the fish come over and grab the fish food, and showed a satisfied smile on his face: "It's still too cold here, later, you can find some more people to come over and move some more porcelain jars inside, but don't freeze to death my treasures!" ”
Several attendants beside him hurriedly bowed down, followed behind Zhao Huan coincidentally, and praised the fish jumping around in the tank.
"Your Highness!" There was a coquettish sound in the hall, and a purple-clothed palace beauty walked out of the hall prettyly: "It's so cold, why are you still playing with fish, come in and warm your hands!" ”
"The crown princess!" The attendants in the courtyard saw the purple-clothed beauty come out and gave salutes one after another.
The purple-clothed beauty, surnamed Zhu, named chain, was personally married by Zhao Ji in June last year and entered the main position of the East Palace.
In October, he gave birth to Zhao Chen, the eldest grandson of the emperor, and his position in the harem was even more solid.
She was already born with a gorgeous appearance, and this is the first time she has Lin'er, her figure is more plump and delicate, and her pretty face is a little annoyed and disgusted, which is even more vivid and lovely, so that Zhao Huan, who is a first-time father, sees it, and feels pity:
"I'm going in, it's so cold, you go into the temple quickly!"
As he spoke, he walked quickly towards Zhu Lian, took her slender jade hand, took the person into his arms with a cloak, and blamed him: "Look at you are also a mother, you don't even have a cloak when you go out of the palace, look, this hand is cold." ”
"Your Highness~~" Zhu Lian's voice was tactful, and he followed Zhao Huan's steps to the hall, but he didn't forget to ask: "What did the official family say at the court meeting today?" ”
"What else can I say?" Zhao Huan's deep affection immediately turned into grief and indignation, and said angrily: "Father said that the fifth sister is humble by nature and fair, let the ministers inquire clearly, and then talk back." ”
"It's clear that the facts are in front of you! Mrs. Bai gave her 500,000 taels, this can't be faked!
As a result, when my father heard this, he immediately became angry, saying that my hand was too long, and he was not dead yet, so I came out to squeeze my blood sisters! ”
"Your Highness~~" Zhu Lian had a little sadness on his face, patted Zhao Huan's shoulder comfortingly, and leaned his head up: "This is also strange, these sisters in the harem who were favored by the official family in the past were still a little measured, how did they suddenly become like this?"
You say~~"
At this point, she stopped abruptly, as if she didn't know whether to say the next thing or not.
Zhao Huan was relied on and comforted by his wife, and finally calmed down a little, he saw that Zhu Lian seemed to be a little hesitant, and immediately waved his hand to drive back the palace people who followed: "You all go to wait outside the palace!" ”
The palace people saw that the crown prince and the princess were tired of entering the inner hall, and they had already prepared in their hearts, and as soon as Zhao Huan's words came out, the inner hall was scattered in an instant, and only one Zhong Liangdi was left.
Zhong Liangdi was brought in by Zhu Lian from her mother's house, and she is a caring person.
Zhu Lian glanced at her, let her step forward and take Zhao Huan's cloak and hang it up, and then sat down next to the charcoal basin to watch the fire, as quiet as a wooden stake.
"Your Highness, do you say, will Emperor Mingde use any magic to bewitch the official family?" Zhu Lian's slender jade hand was wrapped around Zhao Huan's waist, and he said coquettishly in his mouth: "The concubine has always had no clue about these gods' chatter, and I heard my father and brother talk about it before, as if Emperor Mingde took things out of the air in front of the ministers, and took out a lot of things. ”
"I've heard about it, too." Zhao Huan thought of this, and was a little depressed: "Originally, her mother was a god, but her father ate her set." ”
"However, no matter how much Liu Guifei chatters, she has never performed this hand! You say, could she be some kind of monster? Zhu Lian saw that he said it implicitly, but Zhao Huan didn't hear the meaning, so he had to emphasize again:
"My father originally believed in Taoism, if there are people with bad intentions, and if they use some demon magic to confuse their father, then our Great Song Dynasty will be in danger, Your Highness!"
"You're right!" Zhao Huan was shocked in his heart, and felt at a loss: "But, if she is really a monster, we can't do anything about her!" My father has valued her very much since she took things from the air, and he belittled me and Brother Jiu for no reason, and even gave her so much authority, allowing her to buy and sell official positions in the court and China, and nepotism!
You say, she's a lady who hasn't been out of the cabinet, what does she want so much money for? Could it be that you want to compete for the world? ”
The more Zhao Huan thought about it, the more shocked he became: "It's troublesome now, my father believes in her, and she has been demeaning to me these days, I told him this, and he won't believe it!" ”
"Your Highness, don't panic!" Zhu Lian hurriedly comforted: "Her foundation is not stable at the moment, and we still have something to plot."
Our dynasty, since the founding of Taizu, has had clear regulations on the chaos of women such as Princess Taiping of the previous dynasty. As long as Your Highness sticks to this, and joins all the ministers in the court to join her, I don't believe it, and I can't join her! ”
"That won't work!" Zhao Huan waved his hand again and again: "My father is strong and strong, and it is most taboo for me to make peace with the ministers, if there is solid evidence, I didn't fall in front of her, maybe I fell in front of her first." ”
That's just as well!
Zhu Lian said a little depressedly: "Then, Your Highness really can't come forward to admonish!" The concubine can't figure it out, what are these five sisters trying to do? She is only a year younger than her concubine, how dare she dare to act so recklessly?
You say that it is enough to buy and sell official positions, how can you even dare to accept the money for the lives of death row prisoners? What is she doing with so much money? I didn't see any items in her palace......"
"Lian'er, you say, is she helping her father collect money?" As soon as Zhao Huan's thoughts moved, he couldn't hold it anymore, and his eyes lit up: "Therefore, my father turned a blind eye to her buying and selling official positions and all kinds of means of collecting money, and even she took it so lightly when she made a mistake!"
Yes, it must be my father's plan to build a stone courtyard in the northeast corner!
In the past, Cai Xianggong did these things, which caused a lot of criticism, and even damaged his father's reputation!
Right now, the fifth sister helped him collect money, and without knowing it, it was spread out, and it would only be said that the fifth sister was harming the country and endangering the country.
And the father got the money, and quietly built Genyue, and he didn't need to take money from the household department, so he would not be subject to resistance from the court......"
The more Zhao Huan thought about it, the more he felt that he knew the truth, and he snapped on his head: "I'm really stupid, I actually chased after the fifth sister's wealth!"
No wonder I was reprimanded and disliked by my father, because it was so! ”
