Chapter 581 Killing, aunt accountability
Jinyang City, the capital of Dalong, after entering May, makes people feel the fierce political storm hanging overhead.
Since there have been rumors among the cities that the third prince was the mastermind of the assassination of the prince in Beiyuan, at first, it was only the careful whispering of some cloth-clothed people in the streets and alleys, or the tacit eyebrows of noble officials. Later, it gradually became a hot topic in teahouses and restaurants, and there were many people talking about it. Everyone has the mentality of not punishing the public as a guarantee. At the same time, they were not investigated at first, and they gradually became bold. Some storytellers even used this paragraph to compile the plot in the "Romance". Although they did not blatantly point out that it was the brothers and sisters of the princes of this dynasty, but the listeners knew it well.
Seeing that the remarks had become rampant, of course, the Fourth Prince Party had to add a bucket of fuel to the fire, so one day, the imperial historian Lv Jian, who had a reputation of "rejected the situation directly" was pulled to the restaurant by a colleague and heard those rumors with his own ears.
"Over this period of time, there has been more and more discussion, which is really worrying, but because the matter involves the third prince and the son of Chu, the officials are all cautious and dare not report these words to heaven." The colleague shook his head and sighed, which was a little ready to move. Of course, he didn't want to come up and wanted to provoke Lv Jian's awe-inspiring justice.
After years of training, Lv Jian is no longer the young man in those years. She is much calmer and can't be easily provoked by others, but he still will not be falsely. He can't do anything that he agrees with turning around and mocking on the surface. He shows disapproval to his face: "It's obvious that a person with ulent intentions to spread rumors. The assassination case of the prince has been concluded and approved by the emperor. There is no evidence pointing to the third prince. In addition, the son of the king of Chu has not been close to the third prince. What's the reason to cover up? If you can impeach only by these rootless sayings, some people will say that the real murderer is the second prince, and the next month he is the fourth prince. I'm afraid that even the rest of the princes will have to be implicated. Can the officials impeach them one by one?
Qin Xiang saw that Lv Jian was not fooled, so he had to choose a relatively obscure person to come forward, which completely triggered a killing in May of the ninth year of Yuanqing.
The angry emperor first dismissed the position of edemast, followed by a thorough inspection of the culprit who spread rumors, and issued an imperial edict to order the subjects not spread falsely. The warning was invalid, that is, he took action vigorously. The first unlucky was the storytellers who alluded the prince to seize the throne, and then detected the first to spread rumors among the people. However, they were greedy for a few taels of silver given by mysterious people who did not know their identity. These people, who were trying to damage the royal family for small profits, were immediately pushed to the vegetable market and beheaded.
Later, even some Wangzus who took advantage of the wine were arrested and executed.
It was finally found that several plotters spread rumors. The emperor directly ordered to be executed in public without even being interrogated. These people were more or less related to the Confucius family. Although the court did not make a conclusion, all the courtiers were stunned.
For a month and a half, people have landed outside Xuanwumen, and the smell of blood permeates.
Even if the beautiful scenery is "forbidden" in the house, it has not closed its eyes. Qingkong and Sanshun will tell these movements every day, but since the beginning of the killing, her cabinet department has been staying in the palace with Su Yi. She has not returned home for half a month. No one has discussed the beautiful scenery, and only the news transmitted back through the mansion newspaper and the servants. I think about the situation.
The emperor obviously still has expectations for the third prince, and the attitude of protection is obvious, and the queen has also decided to fight with the third prince. The reason why the emperor did not condemn the queen and the Kong family is that he just killed a few saddle horses as a warning. He should still think about it. In order to control the situation, even if the prince wants to disassure the horse, he does not want the third prince to be opposed to it. It is not good for future rule.
But at this point, it is obvious that things will no longer develop in the direction expected by the emperor, and the situation is no longer controlled by anyone.
Of course, the most concerned about is who will be the reserve. If Yu Yu speculates, the third prince will give up the throne... Yijing is very sure that the third prince will not let go of the prince, at least he will lose the storage position, and of course, he will also budget that the queen will not sit and wait for death, then there should be a follow.
If the prince is abolished, even if the eldest brother-in-law Fuwang has no desire and ambition, he will be pushed to the forefront of the storm. The fourth prince's most respected power is also the strongest among the sons, as well as the ready-moving German concubine and the fifth prince. Although the sixth prince is even more unwise, it is difficult to guarantee that the mother and son will not do something shocking. There is also the eighth prince, who seems to be the most holy person other than the third prince. If the emperor asks Su and Chu to help him...
It's a mess, complicated and confusing. The outcome is really unpredictable, and the misfortune and fortune are even more difficult to predict.
On this day, as soon as Yijing accompanied the old princess for dinner, she had to report that Yu Yu had returned home and was convening the staff in the front yard. It seems that she will stay at home tonight.
"Quickly go back to Guan Suiyuan and get ready. Yuer lives in the palace these days. Food and accommodation will not be satisfactory, and it's easy to come back... Don't let him come to me to greet him. Let him have a good rest today." Although the old princess missed her eldest grandson, she was worried about Yu Yu's body and repeatedly told him.
Yu Yu didn't eat, and he didn't have time to care about those false gifts. He went back to Guan Suiyuan and cooked several kinds of soups that the son liked in the past, and asked the servant to prepare many dishes, which were sent to the study for the sons and staff to enjoy.
When he arrived, Yu Yu returned to Guan Suiyuan. Without saying a word, Yijing pushed the person to the clean room and served the bath and wash in person. Only then did the couple have time to lean on the bed and talk.
However, there was no time to elaborate on the complicated political affairs of the dynasty. Yu Yu Wei slightly apologized: "The Empress Dowager ordered me to go today to tell A Zhao to live in the palace."
"At this time?" The scenery is amazing.
"I don't know what the Empress Dowager is doing." Yu Yu is also worried.
When things get to this situation, the Empress Dowager will naturally not know nothing about political affairs. She probably expected that the Holy Will belongs, but she still let Wei Zhao enter the palace. I really don't know what it means.
Of course, the reason why Yu Yu apologized was that the Empress Dowager told Yijing to go to Weifu to send a message today, and not long ago, Yijing had a very unpleasant dispute with his aunt.
"I'm going to enter the palace early tomorrow morning. I really don't have time. Weifu just needs to bother you to go there." Yu Yu kissed the hair of the person in his arms, and for a moment, he was reluctant to take his nose and lips away from the fragrance of his temples.
Binjing leaned against her husband's fresh and cold arms, and fell into silence for a moment.
Of course, she thought of the dispute not long ago.
It happened in April, when Yu Dong's family had just been convicted.
I thought that as soon as the accident occurred, the first "went to ask the crime" was Mrs. Jianning Houfu. Yijing had made full preparations. Unexpectedly, when the Houfu learned of Jiang Yue's death, the empress wife fell ill immediately. Although Yichen was pregnant, she also accompanied Yijing to visit the Houfu to visit, but she was worried that her grandmother would be Yi. Jing was embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hou refused to see foreign guests on the pretext of her serious illness. Instead, Mrs. Hou comforted the Yichen sisters without any questioning.
However, Wei's aunt came to the door immediately. At first, there was no question, but the intention was to take Wei Zhao home.
At that time, there were no rumors, and Yu Yu was not too busy to return home. That day, he happened to take a break. He heard that his aunt Wei came to the royal palace, and of course he would go to Rongxi Hall to accompany him.
Uncle Wei was still sent to leave Beijing by the emperor in March to investigate the affairs of various prefectures. Naturally, he did not hear that Princess Wei was poisoned by Yu Dong in time. It is unclear what attitude he has.
Agent Wei didn't talk about this matter at first, but she said that there have been a lot of things recently, so it's not good to let Wei Zhao talk about it in the royal palace and specially came to pick up her daughter home.
Yijing and Yu Yu also think that there have been continuous disturbances recently, and I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager will no longer care about the marriage of the princes. Wei Zhao does not need to live in the royal palace anymore. Wei's aunt is also measured. Even if she takes Wei Zhao back, she will not be busy discussing marriage with her daughter at this juncture. Anyway, she has to wait until the storm passes, and Uncle Wei returns to Beijing. After that, he did not stop it. Yijing saw that Wei's aunt's attitude was much colder than before. It seemed that he was determined not to let Wei Zhao stay in the palace again, so he immediately told him to help Wei Zhao pack up the box and prepare to send people away.
The old princess was very happy with Wei Zhao during this period, so she said a few reluctant words, praised Wei Zhao's cleverness, and slightly expressed the intention of staying as a guest, which turned out to be a polite word.
Bing also echoed a few words, hoping to have free time in the future and pick up my cousin to stay at home.
Unexpectedly, aunt Wei's face was cold. Seeing that there was no one else present, she said without hesitation: "My concubine knows that she is humble, and she dares not climb to the clan, and she dares not let the little girl talk in the future."
These words made Yu and his wife look at each other in consterance, and the old princess was also stunned and blurted out, "What's wrong with your uncle's words? Are you worried that Zhao's girl will be wronged in our family?"
aunt Wei got up and maintained her courtesy, but said that very powerful words: "The prince's mansion is a noble clan, and naturally she will not explain something to the Wei family. The princess was obviously poisoned, but the Wei family was hidden in the drums. Over the years, she has believed in the death of illness. At this time, the truth came out, and the real murderer was also executed. Naturally, the Wei family dares not have any more doubts. The son should be really filial. In previous years, he often had letters with the Wei family and never mentioned the secrets. Therefore, because the family's ugliness cannot be promoted, the Wei family can also understand. Only this matter is made public. The two old men in the family still don't know how sad after hearing this. They may not complain. As a concubine is a daughter-in-law I dare not disobey the elder. Although I know that it is the old princess's kindness, I can only take the liberty to refuse.
The old princess was stunned by this words, and Yu Yu also frowned, but Yijing suddenly burst out of anger in her heart.
