After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem
Chapter 265: Something happened to Pingyang Hou Mansion (page 12)
When the Queen Mother left, no one dared to stop her.
It wasn't until the Queen Mother was invisible that everyone turned their attention to the Queen.
An older concubine was the first to ask the Queen: "My Lady, what should I do?"
When the Queen heard this, she glanced at her coldly, and then said, "Didn't the Queen Mother say that? Go find the Emperor."
"Then, do you want to go talk to His Majesty?" In their view, the Queen is the master of the harem, so it is natural for her to talk to Emperor Jiaqing about this matter.
"It's not that I don't want to. You also know that the emperor is still angry with me, so the emperor will definitely not listen to what I say. Otherwise, one of you can persuade your majesty to go." The queen did not refuse explicitly. , but expressed that he was powerless and pushed the matter to them.
However, none of them dared to persuade Emperor Jiaqing.
Although Emperor Jiaqing was not a tyrant, he was not an easy-to-talk emperor either. No one could control him in things he didn't want to do.
No one dared to take the initiative to ask for help, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while.
"Let's go back first. As for this matter, let's wait until next time." Zhang Zhaoyi couldn't stand it first and spoke out to break the deadlock.
She got up early and went to the Queen's place to pay her respects. She only used two pieces of cake to fill her stomach. Then she came to the Queen Mother's place. After such a long time, she was already hungry.
Instead of staying here and unable to come up with a solution, it would be better to go back and fill your stomach.
Naturally, everyone had no objection to Zhang Zhaoyi's words. Not only was she hungry, but they were too.
What's more, this is the Queen Mother's palace, so it's not appropriate for them to stay here.
Soon everyone dispersed and went back to their own bedrooms.
Jiang Wan naturally didn't know about this.
It was Emperor Jiaqing who learned about this from Eunuch Wei.
"What are they doing to find the Queen Mother?" Emperor Jiaqing asked without raising his head as he kept correcting the memorial with the brush in his hand.
Hearing his inquiry, Eunuch Wei lowered his head and told what he knew.
"I heard that you ladies went to see the Queen Mother because you want her to come and persuade Your Majesty so that Your Majesty will receive both rain and dew."
Emperor Jiaqing placed people with the queen, and those people were under the control of Eunuch Wei, so Eunuch Wei knew about this from that person.
Emperor Jiaqing did not speak when he heard this, and concentrated on correcting the memorial in his hand.
Eunuch Wei didn't know how he felt after hearing the reason, so he had to stand aside and wait.
But in his heart, thoughts were flying.
He served Emperor Jiaqing, so he naturally knew that he had been staying at Jiang Wan's place during this period and had not favored other concubines.
Eunuch Wei had never seen such a situation before, but he knew very well that Emperor Jiaqing had met true love.
After all, Emperor Jiaqing's attitude towards Jiang Wan was obvious to all, and he naturally knew better than anyone else that he was different from Jiang Wan.
Emperor Jiaqing finished correcting the memorial in his hand, then raised his head and told Eunuch Wei: "Send someone to invite Master Wei, the young minister of Dali Temple, and Xu Shoufu to come to the palace."
Although Eunuch Wei didn't know why Emperor Jiaqing suddenly wanted to find these two adults, he still agreed.
When Wei Zhao and Xu Shoufu received the news that Emperor Jiaqing had summoned them, they naturally did not dare to delay, so they changed into official uniforms and entered the palace.
Emperor Jiaqing, Wei Zhao and Xu Shoufu discussed in the imperial study for a long time with the door closed. It was not until evening that Wei Zhao and Xu Shoufu left.
No one knows what Emperor Jiaqing, Xu Shoufu and Wei Zhao discussed in the imperial study.
In the morning of the second day, a censor impeached Pingyang Hou and his son. The censor listed the crimes committed by Pingyang Hou Wang Xi and his son Wang Muhui.
Among them, Wang Xi, the Marquis of Pingyang, was charged with corruption and bribery, forming cliques for personal gain, and engaging in malpractice for personal gain, while the crown prince Wang Muhui was charged with using power to oppress others and taking human life lightly.
Being impeached by the censor and accused of such a serious crime, Pingyanghou and his son naturally refused to admit it. They shouted that they were wronged, knelt down to Emperor Jiaqing, and begged Emperor Jiaqing to make the decision for them.
However, Emperor Jiaqing ignored the two people's complaints and asked Wei Zhao, the young minister of Dali Temple, to present the evidence.
It turned out that Emperor Jiaqing had secretly sent people to investigate and collect evidence against the Wang family and his son. The reason why he had not issued an order to arrest them was because the evidence had not been collected before, so he delayed it again and again for fear of alerting the snake.
He had obtained the evidence a few days ago. Yesterday, he called Xu Shoufu and Wei Zhao into the palace to discuss this matter. The censor, with Xu Shoufu's instructions, impeached Pingyang Hou and his son during the morning court today.
After Emperor Jiaqing learned about what Pingyang Hou and his son had done, he planned to punish the Pingyang Hou Mansion. As for why he chose today, it had something to do with the fact that yesterday the Queen led a group of concubines to the Queen Mother's Palace to find the Queen Mother.
He wanted to abolish Wang Wanyu's position as queen and make Jiang Wan queen, so that he and Jiang Wan would be a legitimate couple.
Jiang Wan will be the queen by then, and he alone loves the queen, who dares to gossip.
Faced with irrefutable evidence, Pingyang Hou and his son dared to cry out for injustice. They cried bitterly and begged Emperor Jiaqing for mercy.
These days, few officials are not greedy, but as long as the amount is not large, they can concentrate on their work and do not do evil, Emperor Jiaqing will turn a blind eye.
In fact, Emperor Jiaqing would not investigate his officials at will, but who made Pingyang Hou Mansion the queen's natal family? Because of the queen, Emperor Jiaqing focused on them and sent people to investigate secretly.
Who would have known that this investigation would actually reveal something was wrong with Pingyang Hou Mansion.
Those officials who were on good terms with the Pingyang Marquis Mansion were all too frightened to speak for fear of being implicated by the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Pinghou and his son were imprisoned, and the Pingyanghou Mansion was also ransacked by people from Dali Temple. The ladies and young men in the house were also taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Wang Wanyu had been the queen for so many years, so she naturally trained a lot of subordinates. After the incident happened in Pingyang Hou Mansion, she got the news immediately.
"You, are you telling the truth?!" The queen grabbed the shoulder of the person who came to report the news, her expression was excited, and her voice was trembling.
The person who came to report the news was Lingyu, the maid of Pingyanghou Mansion. She worked as an errand for the queen's mother, Mrs. Pingyanghou, and was Mrs. Pingyanghou's confidant.
Because she had followed Mrs. Pingyang Hou into the palace several times, the queen naturally recognized her.
The Pingyang Marquis Mansion was ransacked and all the masters in the mansion were arrested. Lingyu took advantage of the chaos and sneaked out.
Because she had the waist card given by Mrs. Hou, she was able to enter the palace and ask to see the queen.
The queen was too excited to pay attention. Lingyu's shoulder was pinched and hurt, but she did not dare to cry out the pain. Instead, she lowered her head and cried and replied: "Now Madam and the Marquis are all imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." inside!"
Lingyu cried and begged the queen: "My queen, you must save them!"
In Lingyu's heart, Wang Wanyu was the queen, with a distinguished status and the supporter of the Wang family. Only she could save the Pingyang Hou family.
She was sent by Mrs. Hou to find the Queen, and she came to seek help from the Queen.
"Of course I will not ignore the Marquis and the others, but please tell me first, why did something happen to the Hou's house?" Although the queen was worried about her family and wanted to save them, she didn't understand what happened yet, so she had to ask first Be clear about the situation.
