Chapter 624 "Forced to be helpless", self-exposure of family ugliness
On the day of the eldest princess's edict, the son of the king of Chu, who had not been in court for several months, appeared in front of the Qianming Palace for the first time, but at this time, the emperor was meeting with the officials of Zhongshu. Duke Zhan was subconsciously about to come in and reported it, but he was stopped by Yu Wei. He said that there was something to be reported, but it was not as good as the national political event and did not dare to disturb the emperor. After discussing politics, he first went to the Ci'an Palace to greet him.
At this time, the eldest princess had not yet entered the palace, and the Queen of Qin was also showing off her only right to admonish the concubine.
Yu Yu presented the secret report of Tianchawei to the Empress Dowager, talking about the news of the "unfortunate death" of Yang Fei and her son in the forbidden place.
At the beginning, the fifth prince was a death penalty in order to save the position of the poison killer, but the former emperor only executed the German concubine, asked the Yang family to be buried with him, and sent the fifth prince and his wife to prison, in order to save him a life and bloodline.
However, the fifth prince died shortly after arriving at the forbidden place. The news spread back to Jinyang, which caused rumors and even triggered another bloody killing, which made everyone scared. However, the gossip is not completely extinguished by killing. If the death of Yang's mother and son is publicized again this time, it is bound to make rumors rise again.
As a spy of Tianchawei, it is normal for Tianchawei to be the first to get the news.
Yu Yu was angry when she saw the Empress Dowager shooting the case and immediately knelt down as if she was ready.
"Yuanyang, when the news of Golang's death came back, the mourning family asked you to indict Tianchawei to stare at the forbidden place, so even Tianchawei could not stop the death of Yang's mother and son." The Empress Dowager's eyes were cold.
Yu Yu also said bluntly: "It's the eunuch in the palace."
The Empress Dowager clenched her fist - who else can instruct the eunuchs in the court at present? What a fruity and spicy method is to cut the grass and eradicate it. He really didn't pay attention to the instructions of the previous emperor! But the Empress Dowager didn't say anything. She just let Yu Yu stand up and sit aside: "Is there still no news from Jing?"
"I dare not deceive the empress dowager. I got the news. I heard that the remnants of the Xiao clan were secretly active in Yungui, so I planned to ask for an order to go to the vassals. In any case, the remnants of the Xiao clan should be eradicated." Yu Yu said, "Today, when I enter the palace, firstly, I want to hand over the Tianchawei to the Empress Dowager, and secondly, I also want to ask the emperor to allow my father and Weichen to go to the vassal."
When the late emperor was seriously ill, he had an edict that ordered the king of Liao to go to the vassal in May, but he was repeatedly delayed by the emperor. What's more, the powerful king of Chu went to the vassal territory. How could the emperor easily allow it?
Therefore, although Yu Yu had already decided to go to the vassal and had to wait for the opportunity, the opportunity would not fall from the sky, so he created it.
In his opinion, the only empress dowager is the empress dowager who can coerce the emperor to obey the will of the will of the late emperor. However, this one is quite guard against the palace of the king of Chu and may not be happy to see the king of Chu go to the domain to get out of the control of the heavenly family. However, the many actions of the empress dowager show that she attaches great importance to the surviving princes of the late emperor and does not allow the emperor to suppress his brothers and sisters. The tragic death of the prince's family is bound to anger the empress dowager, and it is obvious that Yang's mother and son died at the hands of today. The court attendant who killed the two was not yet able to rush back. The empress dowager knew as soon as she saw it.
Of course, the Empress Dowager will not ask for sin. The emperor is the king. What is the crime of giving death to the guilty minister?
However, at this time, it is determined by the Empress Dowager to let the king of Liao go to the vassal state smoothly, so it is reasonable for the king of Chu, who holds the will of the former emperor, to go to the vassal state.
However, Yu Yu speculated that the Empress Dowager should not agree easily, so she still needs the assistance of the eldest princess from the side. If she makes a special trip to the palace for this matter, it may make the Empress Dowager suspicious. Coincidentally, the Empress Dowager Qin gave such an opportunity, so Yu Yu Yu chose to make a special trip. This day, I was asked to go to the vassal.
Compared with the palace of Chu, the Empress Dowager believes more in the Su family. The great reason is that she has a good relationship with the eldest princess and believes that the Duke of Wei is only loyal to the emperor and will not favor his in-laws because of his power. The Duke of Wei is a loyal minister, but the king of Chu is a clan and a bloodline of the high ancestor. If the power is too heavy, he is not afraid of finding a name if he wants to seize the throne. , so the empress dowager had to embank the embankment.
Moreover, the Yan family has never held military power. At present, in terms of the influence and prestige of the family, it is not as good as the Qin family. Even because of the succession of King Qing, the Chen family has also suppressed the Yan family. Even if the empress dowager wants to maintain the honorable status of the Yan family, she needs to maintain a friendly and glorious relationship with the Su family for many years.
In terms of personal affairs, in terms of interests, the words of the eldest princess still have a great influence on the empress dowager.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager did not say anything to allow, but sighed: "As an important minister, the king of Chu is in charge of the governor and seal. Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, he could not be assisted by the prince. He will definitely not be willing to let the prince go far away from Chuzhou."
Yu Yu did not mention it again, but talked about the information received by Tianchawei's secret agent from all over the country. He learned that the rumors of the emperor's inflict, killing and usurpation of the throne not only did not subside, but also secretly spread among people all over the country because of the bloody killing of the emperor, adding another crime of killing the people and being violently. After that, the empress dowager took a cold breath.
At first, she opposed the indiscriminate killing of innocent people by the emperor, but this time, the Confucian minister led by Qin Huaiyu lost the kindness of "heart of all people" and took the lead in admonishment to deter rumors that if they were not severely punished, they could not be restrained.
It made Jinyangjing blood flow into a river, but the rumors did not dissipate, but became difficult to control!
Qin Huaiyu's treacherous appearance is indeed a disaster for the country and the people, and the Empress is pale.
At this moment, the eldest princess "killed".
Yu Yu was originally going to leave, but he was retained by the Empress Dowager and joked that the eldest princess was not an outsider. Yu Yu, the granddaughter-in-law, avoided it.
Today, the eldest princess was fully armed and dressed in a strict and rigorous set of women's court clothes, which surprised the Empress Dowager. As she invited people to sit down, she said with a smile, "What's wrong with Shangyuan today? I have always known that you are most annoyed with this court uniform. It is rare today."
The eldest princess was also polite and said with a sneer, "Five sister-in-law, do you think it's rare? I don't dare to slow down today. Our empress specially asked the eunuchs to send an edict to see it. Later, I have to go to Kunren Palace to answer the edict. Without court uniform, won't the empress me for being rude?
The smile on the Empress Dowager's face stiffened - what a Qin family, there is no time for her to calm down! It's enough to toss the concubines and maids in the east and west six palaces. Why is this on the hooves and provoke Yuan? Shangyuan is her aunt and grandmother, "See you"? Fortunately, she came up with it.
"I won't talk much with my fifth sister-in-law. I'm going to respond to the edict to avoid being scolded by the queen." The eldest princess got up to leave, and the empress dowager quickly dissuaded him: "Shangyuan, don't say that. It's really embarrassing for me. Just look at Yuaner's presence and don't be angry... What kind of person is Qin? She is much ridiculous. I'll nag with you when I'm free. Don't be annoyed. Today, I have to ask the Empress Dowager how she disciplines her daughter-in-law, and she still knows whether she is superior and inferior.
The empress dowager immediately ordered that Aunt Ru and Wei Zhao invite the empress dowager and queen respectively, and then let the maidservant go to the Qianming Palace and invite the emperor to come. Yu Yu, who seemed a little embarrassed because of his "inexplicable" involvement in the affairs of the inner palace, said, "Mier is also sitting, those words just now. Later, in front of the mourning family, tell the emperor and ask him to make a decision.
Rumors are disturbing everywhere. How can the empress dowager know that she does not leave the court? Since she wants to be held accountable, she naturally needs Yu Yu to be present.
Before Wei Zhao went out, she met her cousin and smiled understandingly, so she deliberately slowed down her pace and walked to Kunren Palace for a long time.
Therefore, when Queen Qin arrived at Ci'an Palace, the main hall was actually in the same economy.
The Empress Dowager didn't care about the Empress Dowager, and her eyes were slightly surprised on the face of the emperor, but she followed her and was full of confidence. This time, with the support of the emperor in front of her face, what else could the eldest princess do? What happened after the Empress Dowager? It is impossible to disobey the holy will for outsiders. In the final analysis, the emperor is the lord of a country, and the rest of them have to bend down. Soft - This person completely forgot that not long ago, when she slapped her in the face that day, she still called a taboo and cursed the other party not to die.
If the emperor hadn't seen that he could not leave the Qin family to suppress Su and Chu, he would have broken the queen's body, but in the eyes of the emperor, the queen of Qin was already a dying person. At this time, his eyes were as indifferent as staring at a grave.
Although Yu Yu was left in the Ci'an Palace by the Empress Dowager, he also knew that this matter should not be involved. As early as after salute to the emperor, he avoided the main hall knowingly.
"Your daughter-in-law is amazing. She saw Shangyuan with a thorny edict. The Empress Dowager taught her these days, but it became more and more unbearable. This basic respect for relatives and relatives have been forgotten. Is it possible that the Qin family thinks that she can be unfilial and virtuous when she becomes the queen?" The Empress Dowager sneered: "Qin, after your salute, your family didn't let you get up, but you realized... Therefore, I advised Shangyuan not to be annoyed. Our queen has a lot of absurdities. If I care about her, my life will be a few years."
If it was so serious to open her mouth, not to mention that the Empress Dowager Qin's face was red, even the Empress Dowager couldn't sit still. She quickly knelt on the ground. The emperor also stood up and looked at the Empress Qin, who was still standing straight with a green face. She really couldn't wait to raise her foot. It was easy to hold back. After pulling the Queen Qin heavily, she was about to kneel down.
The eldest princess has already stood up and stood aside. Although her generation is here, she can't stand the kneeling of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the emperor.
The Empress Dowager didn't wait for the emperor to really kneel down, and had already raised her arm: "Get up. I was angry for the upper yuan for a moment, and my tone was a little heavier, but I was upset with the emperor." The implication of this statement is that Queen Qin is still unconvinced.
The emperor stood up, and the empress dowager also stood up. Seeing that the Queen Qin was also going to sit down, angrily rushed to heaven: "Why don't you stand up! Do you still know the style? If you do such an offensive thing, don't listen to it with an open mind.
Today, she is suspicious and will not say many things directly. Not to mention that the Empress Dowager did not know why the Empress Dowager Qin saw the eldest princess. Even the Empress Qin herself thought that the emperor wanted to support the Huang family because of Huang Tao. At this time, she was still hidden by her sister and her husband and did not know the important key behind this matter.
So the queen was drunk by the empress dowager and suddenly became furious.
blurted out: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with my concubine? When the edict saw that my aunt was instructed by the emperor, it was also because there was a lot of discussion outside. The emperor was worried that my aunt would be criticized, so he asked my concubine to kindly mention it.
The poor emperor was "so confessed" by his queen. His sad and indignant mood is really unspeakable, especially when he saw Qin's satirical look of "not knowing, but being bitten by a dog" with his head held high, and he couldn't wait to kill his wife on the spot, and Destroy the Qin family!
What kind of tutor do you need to raise such a stupid daughter!
The eldest princess smiled gently: "It turned out to be the order of the emperor. No wonder that the emperor is the king. If you want to see your subjects, you should."
The emperor woke up and quickly got up and bowed: "My aunt has broken her nephew." Queen Qin angrily stared at Queen Qin: "You are still arguing. I have an order to invite your aunt to the palace, tell those rumors to your aunt, and let your aunt have a calculation. Unexpectedly, you are so stubborn and stupid that you are so disrespectful that you don't plead your aunt!"
The eldest princess was too lazy to care about it and smiled gently: "Well, the queen changed it after knowing her mistake. With the empress dowager and her fifth sister-in-law, why should I go over it?" I just don't know what the Queen's painstaking efforts are to say.
The queen was choked by the four words "fix after knowing the mistake", and it was very difficult to turn around slowly. Under the eyes of the emperor, she did not dare to show her power again, so she slightly "euphemistically" and said the rumors about Su Yi's intention to be in the title, and thoughtfully proposed: "Although it is unfounded, the world Xiao's 'empty wind may not be for any reason'. At the same time, the wife of the Duke of the country is not in charge of the government. On the contrary, the third wife is responsible for the affairs of the back house of the state government. Outsiders feel that there is a basis. Aunt, aunts, concubines and saints are indeed planning to defend the State Mansion. This is a rumor that this is for the power position that has led to close the wall, which can greatly harm the reputation of the State Mansion. Then, he naturally praised the Huang family and said all the words that Qin Ziruo instructed him.
The eldest princess smiled more and more: "What the queen said is right. It is my duty to serve my parents-in-law when I am a daughter-in-law. Therefore, I intend to wait for the eldest daughter-in-law to raise her body before serving me. I don't expect that the eldest daughter-in-law is not conscious. It is also at intervals in the morning and evening, but she has said a lot of grievances to the queen."
"My eldest sister-in-law didn't know anything. My eldest daughter-in-law has been in the palace recently, thinking that she had a good relationship with the queen. I didn't care about it at first. I didn't expect her to talk about my injustice behind my back... The queen, don't argue for Huang. How can you know the truth? At the beginning, Huang was sick and unwell, so I let her to take good care of her. I was also a I couldn't help it. The first few granddaughters got married and became more boring, so they took over the housework. Brother Xing's daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law were just co-manage, but I was in charge of the big things. Unexpectedly, those rumors spread because of this.
The eldest princess sighed: "Originally, the family is ugly, and I don't want to say that the eldest daughter-in-law is not, but this incident shocked the emperor and the queen. It has to be explained clearly. The queen is filial and dedicated to serving the empress dowager. She will never agree with Huang's words and deeds, but she is just deceived by her... Fifth sister-in-law, I really I'm ashamed to go back and discipline my eldest daughter-in-law.
This made the Empress Dowager hear this, and she was very puzzled. No wonder the Empress provoked this inexplicable incident. It turned out that she wanted to take the opportunity to return to the power of the palace? Isn't it? She said that the Zhongfu of the Duke of Wei should be in charge of the Huang family, and the affairs of the six palaces should also be in charge of her, the queen!
The Empress Dowager's eyes became colder and sharper. Seeing that the queen still wanted to refute, she laughed and said, "It sounds like this, it's indeed the fault of the Duke's wife. As a daughter-in-law, virtuousness and filial piety is the foundation. The higher the door should follow. How can she not respect her parents-in-law for self-interest? The queen should give a teaching and reprimand the Huang family. If she doesn't repent, she is not deserve it. Waiting for the right wife!"
The queen was stunned and couldn't react. How could she be intimidated? In a blink of an eye, she became Huang's fault!
The emperor was also angry and glanced at the queen angrily, but it was naturally difficult for him to intervene in the affairs of these women.
The Empress Dowager was very satisfied: "The Empress Dowager said something reasonable, that's all. Today's matter is over. The emperor stayed, and Shangyuan also sat down for a while. Yuer just reported something, which is related to Jing. You can also listen to Shangyuan."
The emperor is very irritable. The Empress Dowager didn't even point out any advice on political affairs. At present, she even involved the eldest princess! However, because he had scruples, he did not dare to oppose it. The eldest princess was not compare with ordinary women. Gaozu allowed the eldest princess to discuss politics. If it hadn't been for the fact that the eldest princess had lost her mind later, I'm afraid that Emperor Taizong would have discussed government affairs with the sister of a mother compatriot. The Empress Dowager said that it was about the eldest princess of the world. As a grandmother, the eldest princess It is also common sense to ask one or two.
Can he, the emperor, have complaints?
The emperor is full of resentment. What kind of emperor is he? Even government affairs cannot be arbitrary, and they have to be influenced by women and children.
But what can I do? His father... The emperor gritted his teeth, but he could only say "Okay" with a smile.
