I have a book to play

The harem has never been a place where news is blocked, what happened in the court hall, it didn't take half a moment for someone with a heart to pass it back to the harem.

Although the Qingning Palace is in the cold palace, it has always lived a life of not knowing changes, only knowing the cold and heat.But since Sun Peng came, many of the previous news have come from.

It's just that Sun Peng is working in the cold palace, no matter how well-informed he is, he is still one step behind others.

Empress Yuan was not interested in what happened in the court, but after hearing what happened to those bones, she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart.Seeing that Sun Peng seemed to be very worried about being the eldest sister of the princess, the Empress simply allowed him to rest for a few days and let him go home.

Sun Peng left the palace gratefully.

He didn't know the specifics of what happened in the court. He only knew that when the truth was exposed, the crown prince was still stubborn and refused to admit it. associated.

However, the evidence that Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and Yushitai threw at the prince's face one after another is really untrue.

Sun Peng wanted to know how Emperor Xihe would deal with Xie Zhang when the evidence was conclusive, so he galloped all the way back to Sun's mansion. , ran to the old man's study in a hurry.

Mrs. Sun's study room is behind the old lady's house, so you have to pass by the old lady's room before going to the study room.When Sun Peng passed by, a maid called "Qilang" at the door.

Sun Peng originally planned to go to the study after greeting the old lady, but the door curtain was lifted at this moment. He looked up and saw his second uncle standing inside the door waving to him.

It was only after entering the house that the men of the Sun family didn't go to the study room at all, and all gathered in the old lady's room.There are also a lot of female relatives.

The old man and the old lady were sitting together. When they saw Sun Peng enter the room, they glanced at him and said, "Why are you back? Don't you just take a bath the next day?"

"Your Majesty, allow me to go home and have a look."

The old man nodded, and glanced at everyone calmly: "Have you heard about what happened at the court today?" He said to his three sons, "What do you think His Majesty will do?"

Sun Junyu opened his mouth, a little uncertain: "This matter is not big, but it is not small. I am afraid that His Majesty will attack the officials of the East Palace." It is not that he does not doubt that Emperor Xihe will act like the last time Same thing, allow Donggong to launch a scapegoat, and find another "Xu family" to destroy the nine clans.

The old man glanced at his third son again, and said, "You also think His Majesty will touch those people in the Eastern Palace?"

Sun Junqing lives in the Taichang Temple, which is in charge of group sacrifices in mausoleums and temples, rituals and rituals.As a doctor of Taichang Temple, he also knew little about other things, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The old man sighed: "Boss, tell me."

Sun Junliang had been staring at his son, and when he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw the two younger brothers with helpless faces, frowning, and said, "Abolish the prince."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

The female relatives suddenly opened their eyes wide, and the old lady raised her eyelids: "Boss, be careful."

Being able to accompany Mrs. Sun through ups and downs for so many years, the majestic wife of a scholar, the old lady has never been an ordinary woman.

"What the second and third child mean, I'm afraid that others will have the same idea as you. Be careful with what the boss said, but your majesty may have already given birth to this idea."

No one in the room spoke, but Sun Peng stood up at this moment and said, "Why does grandma think so?"

The old lady had always loved her grandson very much, and smiled: "Qilang thinks, which of the two princes is more qualified to be the crown prince?"

"When my grandson met the master, the master had already become a monk. Whether the master is a virtuous prince or not, my grandson doesn't know."

The old man nodded, and glanced at the people in the room: "Abolishing the crown prince is the idea of ​​everyone except Mrs. His Majesty may have the same intention, but this crown prince cannot be abolished."

"Why can't it be scrapped?"

Except for Sun Junliang, everyone was surprised.

Sun Peng didn't think it was too difficult to abolish the crown prince before. After all, the impact of this incident was more serious than the previous lewd temple. The people in the capital were talking about the crown prince's immorality after dinner.But the old man's words made him figure it out quickly.

Emperor Xihe took Xie Chen's crown prince position because of the queen mother, whether Xie Zhang can retain this position now depends on the queen mother and the others.

After all, the Sun family has been officials for generations, and some things are engraved in their bones.Of the three brothers of Sun Junliang's generation, although he is the only one who holds a high official position, the two younger brothers are not stupid. After careful discussion, they soon understood what the old man meant.

As for the juniors of Sun Peng's generation, they are not deaf to what is going on outside the window.Therefore, whether the crown prince will be abolished or not, they are all prepared, but they can't help but sigh when they think of Sun Xian who is the crown princess.

Once the prince is abolished, the name of the princess will have to be preceded by the word "abandoned".

Things really did not go beyond Mrs. Sun's expectation.

It may also be said that the grandparents and grandchildren of the Sun family were not wrong. Emperor Xihe did have the idea of ​​abolishing the crown prince, but when he revealed this idea in front of the courtiers, he received the most fierce opposition.

All of a sudden, no matter whether it was Mr. Wang or other civil servants and military generals with ulterior motives, they all fought hard in the court to prevent him from abolishing the crown prince. It seemed that apart from Xie Zhang, he had no other sons and could not establish a second crown prince.

In particular, Shang Shu Ling Wang Youzhi, even more righteously stated the prince's affairs, and the crime did not end there.

Those courtiers who supported the abolition of the prince almost quarreled with the opponents in the court.

Yushi Zhongcheng is not as good as Shang Shuling, but his temper is not small at all. He almost threw up his sleeves on the spot and yelled at Shang Shuling: "The prince violated the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime! The crown prince committed two big mistakes in succession, and the people have already complained. How can we do it in the future?" Take on the big responsibility!"

Shang Shuling's words were convincing: "Who is right, the prince is still young, and he will correct himself in the future. Besides, it's just the death of the maid and servants. For these people, it is absurd to abolish the prince's position!"

Emperor Xihe was already in a bad mood, and when Wang Youzhi and Yu Shi Zhongcheng made such a fuss, he immediately became furious, but before he could utter his angry words, Queen Wang went straight to the Xuanzheng Hall while supporting the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager always loved Xie Zhang dearly, so she would not allow Emperor Xihe to abolish Xie Zhang's crown prince.Emperor Xihe also knew what the Queen Mother was thinking, and had chosen to avoid seeing her, but he did not expect that the Queen Mother would go straight to the Xuanzheng Hall in the early court.

Xi and Di's eyes darkened, and they almost lost their temper.

His courtiers are trying their best to keep a prince who can't do anything good except keep losing popular support.What was the reason behind this, how could he not know.

His queen mother, for the sake of her grandson, broke the rule left by Emperor Tai Zu that "the harem must not interfere in politics", but he couldn't get angry at the queen mother because of his filial piety.

But on the other hand, he also has five brothers who are enfeoffed outside.King Zhuang and King Fu quickly sent a memorial, accusing the prince of immorality every sentence.King Zhao and King Jing also stated in the booklet that the prince will not be abandoned and it will be difficult to regain the hearts of the people.The most outrageous thing was that the Han King, who was born to the late Emperor and Hu Ji, who stayed in the capital as an idle prince, actually brought his infant son into the palace directly, and asked him if he needed to be adopted, so that he could be a little prince after he was raised from a young age.

It's impossible to go on in the early morning.

Emperor Xihe was angry and ill because of this, the Empress Dowager obviously didn't intend to let him go just like that, she actually sat by his bed for several days, weeping constantly, insisting on saying "don't abandon the prince".

For a while, the harem was full of turmoil. I was afraid that if something went wrong with the Queen, they would cause trouble for them.

But when Emperor Xihe was finally tortured by the queen mother and had to agree to let Xie Zhang continue to be the prince, something happened in the East Palace again.

*****

Xie Zhang raised many women in the East Palace.

Sun Xian lived in the Sun family, and since she was a child, she knew that the person she was going to marry was probably a respectable family in the court, but later she got close to the Pei family and got engaged to the eldest son of the Pei family, so she wholeheartedly wanted to be the wife of the Pei family. daughter in law.

Marrying into the Eastern Palace was a completely helpless choice.When the hijab was taken off that day, she looked at Xie Zhang whose face was illuminated by red candles, and those Yingying Yanyan who gave birth to him early, she swore at that time that she would never give up her heart, Those women gave him as many children as they wanted, and they didn't care if they gave birth to a carriage.

But today...

Sun Xian took a deep breath, her heart beating so fast that it seemed to jump out of her throat.

Today, she has to do one thing, after finishing this thing, even if the prince Xie Zhang is not abolished today, it won't take long, His Majesty will eventually abolish him.

"Have you invited everyone?" Sun Xian said.

Yun Yanlow claims to be.Sun Xian nodded: "It's fine if you come. Whether you come or not is their business."

Yunyan resigned after hearing the news, leaving only Sun Xian in the room for a while.However, there was a rustling sound behind the painting screen behind her.She turned her head slightly, and saw half a hand stretched out from under the painting screen. The fingers were long and slender, and the knuckles were thicker than her own, as if they were two men's hands.

"Sister," the voice came from behind the screen, low and cautious, "Don't be afraid, Qilang is here with you."

Sun Xian sneered, stretched out her hand to hook Sun Peng's finger, and gently pulled it back and forth, like how siblings used to play when they were young: "Sister, don't be afraid." She paused, scratched Sun Peng's palm, and touched him The cocoon on the palm felt a little distressed, "Don't be afraid, Qilang."

The siblings, who said they were not afraid of each other, didn't mention that the hand they held was trembling slightly.

What they are going to do today, to outsiders, they are afraid of treason.But for them, they each have their own thoughts.

The prince may not be abolished, but the prince will never be cured either.

The Crown Princess held a small banquet to summon all the concubines of the Eastern Palace to Fengyi. The reasoning is that everyone should be present.However, until halfway through the refreshments, there were still two people who did not show up.

One was Xu Fengyi who gave birth to the little prince before, and the other was given to Xie Zhang by Sun Xian. Xie Zhang declined a few times and accepted Yunying who was sleeping.

Sun Xian knew that everyone in the room was staring at her, wondering how she would react to Xu Fengyi and Yunying who were not there.But these people don't know that sitting here and drinking tea with her is the most correct choice.

Her heart was beating like thunder, but as soon as she thought of the place where her brother, who grew up with her, was sitting across the screen from her, her emotions gradually calmed down.

In the past few days, Xie Zhang became more and more self-defeating and obsessed with women because of the dispute over the abolition of the crown prince and the fact that no one in the court supported him except the princelings.

Sun Xian didn't want to talk to him, and let Xu Fengyi pull Yunying and coax Xie Zhang to linger on the bed, day and night, even the meal was brought to the bed by the waiter.

If those two people didn't show up at this time, everyone knew that they were probably messing around with the prince again in the house.

"Prince Concubine." A Liang Di hesitated again and again, and finally said, "Wouldn't the Crown Concubine try to persuade Your Highness? His Highness has been singing and singing every night for the past few days. I heard that the kitchen has been told to stew that thing. If you continue to mess around like this, But...but it's going to break your body."

Sun Xian smiled wryly: "How can I persuade you. His Highness has been depressed recently, but he is only excited about it. At this time, if you and I try to persuade him, I'm afraid it will spoil his interest."

"But His Highness's body..."

Before Sun Xian had time to sigh that Xie Zhang was indeed surrounded by sincere people, a waiter suddenly crawled outside, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

He seemed to be running very fast, was panting all the time, and was crying so much that he couldn't speak at all.Sun Xian's heart skipped a beat: "What's the matter?"

The servant was serving by Xu Fengyi's side, crying like this was probably because something happened to the master.When he calmed down, he yelled out loudly, startling everyone.

"It's not good, Your Highness...Your Highness, he strangled Miss Yunying to death, and now he wants to kill Xu Fengyi!"
