Chapter 224 Chang'an
Princess Yunzhou listened, and the anger on her face gradually gathered. When Yuan Xiu finished speaking, she took half of the remaining tea in her hand and drank it to moisten her lips. She couldn't help slap a few times and said hatefully, "This little man is really bold!"
"It's not strange. Do you remember Wang Taiqing when we were our emperor?" Yuanxiu picked up the fan again and rushed to the wind and said lightly, "Since the time of Emperor Xuanzong, the root of the disaster has been buried, but the former emperor was wise. After more than ten or twenty years of peace, he looked at our fifth brother who was young and soon after assuming the throne, he was actually ready to move!"
"Speaking of Yuan Beihe, he was still the personal bodyguard of the fifth brother when he was in the East Palace." Princess Yunzhou thought of this and couldn't help frowning and said, "This time, Sister Jiu came to the other hospital to escape the summer heat. I heard that the fifth brother personally ordered him to come to guard. I thought that since this person has the fifth brother's green eyes, it should always be of some use. How can't you even control these dozens of forbidden soldiers in other courtyards? Is this too useless?"
Yuan Xiu sighed: "The real master of the Shence Army is the lieutenant of the guard. He is a general envoy. Although he entered the forbidden army in the early years, he has always been by the side of the fifth brother. It has been alone in the past few years. With Qiu Jian, how can it be so easy to hold power?"
"Qiu Fengxiang looks honest in recent years..." Yunzhou frowned. She is one year younger than Yuan Xiu, and now she is going to start to choose a son-in-law. She is not a young child who doesn't know. Although she likes to be young and jealous, she understands the truth that Feng Chun clearly has several older sister. Yuanxiu, who is the most partial to his mother, but in terms of his heart, he did not treat his half-sisters badly. What's more, as an emperor, there is no need to treat him badly, and these golden branches and jade leaves seem to be noble, but what is it without royal support?
"Bear by the way, how's that matter in Beili?" Yuan Xiu suddenly remembered and asked, "The news of Chang'an here rarely came. I heard that Meng Guangyi was assassinated. Fortunately, no one happened. What's Chang'an like now?"
When it mentioned this matter, Yunzhou also showed a trace of solemnity and said, "There have always been defenders in Jingzhao Mansion. The two guards around Meng Guangyi heard that their skills were not bad, and the assassin sneaked and left without a sound. If it hadn't been for the wound behind Meng Guangyi, he would have done it by himself. I'm afraid that someone would impeach him. ...... Although the drama and the storybook often say that I dream all kinds of abilities of Tang Ranger, there are only a few people who can do such a thing among the masters. No wonder that the man did not kill Meng Guangyi!"
"I heard that Meng Guangyi also poisoned him..." Yuan Xiu pondered, "After that, the whole city banned the medicine. Can the assassin catch it?"
"No." Yunzhou shook his head, "Meng Guangyi is really bold. The assassin showed mercy to him, but he still set him up with him. He heard that the poison was not weak. He was so widely publicized to pursue the drugstore in the city, and he also had the intention of forcing the assassin to find him to revenge in a hurry. Of course, he also made a plan to find the assassin back. But since the assassin was able to quietly sneak into the backyard of Jingzhao Mansion, it can be seen that Meng Guangyi is a civilian, and his sword is all for elegance. He was careless and didn't know how he died.
Yuanxiu frowned: "So Ren Qiu's case has been dragged down?"
"No delay." Yunzhou said in surprise, "Why didn't anyone tell Sister Jiu? Although Meng Guangyi's memorial was taken away by the assassin, the manuscript was still there. The next day, he asked someone to write it again and handed over the fish hydrocarbons as usual by the order of the fifth brother to visit him..."
"The next day?" Yuan Xiu stood up in surprise. She also knew that someone must have blocked her news. She didn't care about the investigation and asked first, "I thought there was no assertion until now - so what's going on in this case?"
Yunzhou said concisely, "That Ren Qiu was beheaded."
"...What did the third brother say?" This result was also expected by Yuan Xiu. Yunzhou shook his head and showed a trace of disdain on his face: "Didn't the fifth brother give him a dancer girl on the sixth sister's birthday? This seemed to be very popular with him. On that day, the third brother was also there. I heard rumors from the harem that the third brother was expressionless when he heard the result and didn't say a word in the court. Instead, Ren didn't know how to run out of the guarded courtyard two days and rushed to the palace. The third brother was not in the house at that time. The third sister-in-law asked someone to leave her The side door was brought in. Speaking of this, Yunzhou sneered and said, "Maybe you are sick in some corner now?"
Yuan Xiu pondered, "Are the third brother and sixth brother still in Chang'an now?" Yunzhou understated this case, and Ren Qiu and Ren are all right. It's not that there are no children under the king of Qi. The life and death of an illegitimate son who has not entered the jade saucer is nothing, and then the Ren family doesn't matter. However, if Fengchun also involves King Qiong, he said that he would return to Chang'an in the near future, and Yunzhou would not be reminded at all.
Yuanxiu felt a little strange. During the period when there was an undercurrent between Fengchun and King Qiong, although she was still young, she was seen by the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian and did not allow the palace people to talk too much in front of her. However, since then, Xue's behavior was worried all day and she went to the Sanqing Hall almost every day to put a few pillars of incense. Fengchun was also very It was extremely bad for a while.
Now Fengchun has succeeded to the throne and wants to settle the previous account - Yuanxiu doesn't want to say anything more. After all, his mother's work is different from that of his half-mother. In addition, King Qiong has no power to fight against Fengchun, that is to say, Fengchun's calculation of this account will not seriously damage the royal family.
"Originally, they were going back to Fengyi after the seventh sister returned to the door, but the fifth brother left them to watch your gift before leaving." Yunzhou pulled the broken hair scattered by his temples and frowned, "Sister Jiu, does Cui Nanfeng, which you mentioned in the person you just mentioned, have anything to do with Cui Nanxun in Boling?"
"They are cousins." Yuan Xiu didn't expect Yunzhou to suddenly mention this person and asked quietly, "Have you heard of him?"
Yunzhou said thoughtfully, "I heard that Cui Nanfeng is a famous prodigal son of the Boling Cui's generation. He can't do anything about it. His parents had no choice but to help him find a gap in the Shence Army. It's better than he hanging around inside and outside Chang'an City all day long... But I don't know why, he When he was young, he had to be liked by Princess Cui. The princess liked him as much as Yu Lang.
Li Yu is the eldest son of the king, and is also the son of the son who has been officially canonized. He is the grandson of Concubine Cui. Li Yi, the king, now has three sons and two daughters under his knees. Li Yu is the eldest daughter, and he is still raised by Princess Cui. His feelings with the imperial concubine are extraordinary, and Cui Nanfeng, the imperial concubine's nephew, is actually in front of the imperial concubine. Compared with Li Xan, it shows how much the imperial concubine loves him.
"I remember that Empress Cui has a bold temperament and likes the bold and generous Langjun or girl the most, then Cui Nanfeng..." Yuan Xiu frowned. Her relationship with Cui Taifei is not far away. Cui Taifei was the side concubine when Emperor Xianzong lived in the East Palace, the mother of Li Yi, on behalf of King Li Yi, and her temperament and Mrs. Xue When she was a teenager, she was a little similar, fierce and bold. She even dared to gamble with Xianzong during royal hunting, and her appearance was only slightly inferior to that of the Empress Dowager Wenhua in the concubine of Emperor Xianzong - but her only son, Daiwang, was very different from Princess Cui.
Li Yi, who is only a few months younger than Princess Pingjin, inherits the beauty of Princess Cui. She is white and has beautiful facial features, but her sex. However, Zi is not as popular as Princess Cui at all. Instead, she speaks softly and acts fast or slowly, which always gives people a sense of slowness.
Emperor Xianzong did not like this second son. Although King Peng Zao Shang and the king actually had a leading position and a good reputation for martial arts, he was not favored by Emperor Xianzong because of his temperament. Therefore, in the undercurrent of the later competition between Fengchun and King Qiong, the king was not involved much.
However, no matter how gentle the king is, he is the son of the imperial concubine Cui. If the imperial concubine is determined to cover up her beloved nephew, and the things that Cui Nanfeng committed is not big or small, there is already a knot between Fengchun and King Qiong. Because of Ren Qiu's case and the king of Qi, King Xu is still young... Emperor Xianzong All of these princes who are still alive can't be offended, can they?
Yuanxiu felt a little embarrassed.
"Who knows how he voted for the fate of the imperial concubine." Princess Yunzhou brought the fruit plate in front of her, picked up the lychees soaked in the ice water and told Yuan Xiu, "I heard that when the late emperor was still alive, Cui Nanfeng was only recently. He was accidentally seen by the imperial concubine and fell in love with it. He was more favored than the second brother when he was a child. If it weren't for the sake of Princess Cui, he was The Cui family is not like this yet, especially compared with his cousin Cui Nanxun!"
Yuanxiu looked at her, squeezed her lips and smiled, " By the way, hasn't the eighth sister's son-in-law been decided yet? You mentioned Cui Nanxun twice. What do you think of this person?
"I heard that he is the most outstanding Langjun of the Boling Cui family. Princess Cui also attaches great importance to him, but she is not as close as Cui Nanfeng." Yunzhou said, "Didn't the eighth sister specially call him before, because he seemed to have a marriage contract with the 25th mother of the Lu family and didn't want him? Did she tell Sister Jiu something in private?
Princess Yunzhou asked curiously, "But the eighth sister has always been frowned recently. I met her last time and asked casually, but she found another excuse to be perfunctory... Speaking of which, I haven't seen her fifth sister-in-law call people to the palace this month."
You don't know which one is listening to. Yuanxiu frowned, and Princess Yunzhou thought of other places: "by the way, Sister Jiu just said that the 25th Niang of the Lu family also lives on this peak? But I don't know what kind of person he is."
"What do you want to see her do?" Yuanxiu hit her with a fan, "Okay, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to take a nap. I'll go back to Chang'an tomorrow. If there's nothing to do, I'll come back every few days. If you're afraid of the heat, just live in my bamboo building."
Yunzhou turned his eyes and said, "What's the point of being here alone? Since Sister Jiu wants to go back to Chang'an, it's better for me to go back together - although there is no gift from me this year, I have to try the dress for watching the ceremony.
Seeing that she must not be worried, Yuan Xiu did not stop it - counting the hours, Yu Wenrong could almost come back in the evening, and he said inexcusably, "That's good."
Princess Yunzhou was secretly relieved, and her heart couldn't help but feel a layer of annoyance, but she seriously went to the fruit plate to choose her favorite fruit.
Yuanxiu became more and more worried when he saw her like this.
