After the Gu of the Red Chamber

When Mrs. Zhen said that the Zhen family had helped the new prince to pull down the deposed prince, everyone was in an uproar, even Zhen Er and Zhen San were a little surprised.

Rao they are also from Zhen's family, and they often help Zhen Yingjia with errands, and they don't know that they belong to the new crown prince.

Zhen Er knew a little more than Zhen San. He knew that Zhen Yingjia had often sent money to the capital over the years. He thought that the money was for Concubine Zhen's mother and son, but unexpectedly it was for the new crown prince!

Thinking about the misfortune of the Zhen family today, the new crown prince was more or less behind it. If the new crown prince hadn't fully supported him, how could the Holy Majesty have noticed those adopted daughters of the Zhen family?

Thinking about how he and Zhen San were beaten as soon as they went to court, and they were still beaten to death, Zhen Er suddenly became conspiratorial.

Zhen Er pointed at the new crown prince and said in surprise, "You...you are trying to kill someone!"

Zhen Er was startled and angry, full of grief and indignation, "Tu Mingyu (the new prince)! Our Zhen family was sorry for that, helped you pull down the deposed prince, and gave you money every year, you He even wants to kill people!"

His eldest brother sent so much money to Beijing every year, but in the end it was all fed to the white-eyed wolf!

"I didn't!" The new prince was so angry that he was about to hop his feet. The reason why the deposed prince was deposed was that he had a hand in the disaster relief money. It has nothing to do with him. Besides, all the money from the Zhen family fell into the fifth brother's pocket. He didn't even have half a cent of money in his hands, so what does the Zhen family's greedy money have to do with him!

With such a big pot covering his body, Tu Mingyu was not willing to carry it, he said angrily: "You guys are so careless, the deposed prince was deposed because—"

"Is there a flood in the Jianghuai River?" Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Zhen took the mouth in a sullen voice.

She continued: "The prince and Mrs. An are very cruel. They took advantage of our Zhen family, and then left our Zhen family aside. Now they want to kill our family. They really thought that our Zhen family If everything is gone, no one will know about the prince and Empress Anpin framed the abolished prince back then?"

The new prince's face was ashen, and he said coldly: "You are talking nonsense! My mother and concubine have always been in charge of things in the palace, and my mother and concubine's natal family is not visible, so it is possible that she has that ability!"

If his mother and concubine had the ability to command the Zhen family, she would not be overwhelmed by Zhen Guifei all these years, and she is still a concubine to this day.

The old lady Zhen sternly said: "If it weren't for the help of Mrs. An's brother, how could we have stolen the disaster relief money so easily!"

What she said was not false, such a large sum of money for disaster relief cannot be paid by the Zhen family alone, it must be supported by people from other families. The mother's family is not visible, but they happen to be in key positions.

Anpin's eldest brother was the minister who transported the relief money to the disaster area. If he hadn't helped them, they would have been able to transport so much money without anyone noticing.

Furthermore, if it weren't for someone from Anpin's natal family helping to hide this matter by Prince Huang's side, how could they have transported the money back to the south of the Yangtze River under the nose of Prince Huang.Concubine An's handwriting was everywhere behind this matter. As Concubine An's adopted son, the new crown prince wanted to get rid of it, but it was not so easy.

The old lady Zhen sighed slightly, a smart person like An Bin is the one who can have the last laugh.

Concubine An seems to be silent, but she is a powerful person. They were all fooled by Concubine An, saying that the An family was helping the fifth prince, but in fact it was the An family who pulled the Zhen family to pave the way for the fourth prince. She didn't realize that her efforts over the years had actually made wedding dresses for others until the fourth prince was made the crown prince by Emperor Pingkang.

If it wasn't reconciled, Jia'er would not take the risk of keeping Tu Li behind so that she could use Tu Li to frame the new crown prince. If she knew it was too early to make a move, something would happen to the Zhen family first.

Tu Mingyu's face turned livid in anxiety, and he didn't know how to refute Mrs. Zhen, so he could only keep saying straight: "You're talking nonsense!"

He felt a little uneasy in his heart, recalling the events before and after the abolished prince was abolished, the more Tu Mingyu thought about it, the more panicked he became. Could it be that the concubine mother had really made some kind of deal with the Zhen family in private?

He glanced around subconsciously, and sure enough, he saw some happy faces on the faces of many people. His heart sank. He didn't expect that the second brother had been deposed for so long, and there were still many ministers who missed the second brother.

The abolished prince is the son of a son successively, and in the eyes of everyone, he is a natural heir, not to mention that the abolished prince has been taught by Emperor Pingkang since he was a child, and his literary talent and martial arts are above all the princes. , I actually did a lot of practical things when I was a prince.

The deposed prince supervised the country when Emperor Pingkang went south, and there was no fault in everything. In terms of talent for governing the country, he was even far superior to his father. Now his father has done a lot of stupid things because of the Zhen family. It makes people miss the waste prince more and more.

Tu Mingyu secretly regretted that he didn't know that there were so many things behind his position as the crown prince, so he learned the lesson from the abolition of the crown prince earlier. Over the years, he really didn't dare to make friends with ministers, and he was timid in political affairs. Don't dare to presumptuously authorize yourself.

Although it is because of this that he has won the favor of his father, but also because of this, he has not been well-known in the court, and he does not really have much influence. If those people want to restore the crown prince...

Tu Mingyu's face was really ugly, and there was no turning back when he opened his bow. Since he succeeded in seizing the heir, he couldn't allow the abolished prince to snatch it away again.

This is not just a battle for the throne, more importantly, it is also about the lives of everyone in his family!If the other things fail, they can start all over again, but once they fail to win the heir, there is only one dead word waiting for their family...!

If he didn't want to die, he could only fight for it.

Tu Mingyu scolded: "Old Madam Zhen is probably old and out of her mind, yet she dared to slander Concubine An in the palace, so let her be dragged down!"

He secretly resented that if he had known this earlier, he should not have dragged Mrs. Zhen out for interrogation, but now it would be difficult to silence Mrs. Zhen.

Not to mention that everyone in the hall could hear clearly, and furthermore, with the status of old lady Zhen in Father Huang's mind, if he dared to take action against Old Lady Zhen, father might kill him the next moment.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Tu Mingyu could only pull old lady Zhen in the direction of madness.

If it had been earlier, it might have been quite promising, but now even if Old Madam Zhen changed her mind, no one else would let her change her mind, besides, Old Madam Zhen didn't want to change her mind at all.

She sneered and said: "I'm talking nonsense!? The crown prince might as well ask someone to check Anpin's elder brother. Speaking of which, Anpin's natal family is not obvious. It was just a small family back then, but now the An family's life is comparable to ours. The Zhen family is much more luxurious, but the An family knows how to hide, so it hasn't shown at all over the years.

My Zhen family is really wronged. If we really want to talk about the king of the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the An family is worthy of this sentence. The An family has tens of thousands of land just in the south of the Yangtze River, which is beyond the reach of our Zhen family. And. "

Of course, in terms of power, the An family is far inferior to the Zhen family, but the An family is also worthy of the title of King of Jiangnan. After all, no one can match the An family who owns the most land in the Jiangnan area.

This An family is really a weird person. Most of the money allocated back then was used to buy sacrifice fields. Therefore, there are as many sacrifice fields in the An family, and they are also the first in the south of the Yangtze River. Money from the Jianghuai flood that year.

Tu Mingyu's face turned ashen, and he was completely speechless for a while. He also knew that Uncle An's big purchase of land in the Jiangnan area, and many people had hinted that he should control it, but because Uncle An was not a relative Uncle, he doesn't talk too much, and Uncle An also buys and sells openly, but he hasn't done anything to bully men and women, so that's all.

Unexpectedly, Uncle An bought so much land before he knew it!

Don't look at the tens of thousands of fields that are not too much for aristocratic families, but for Anjia, who is just a small family, it is a bit too much, not to mention that it is the richest and most expensive Jiangnan farmland. Ming Yu, when he heard about so much land, he really didn't understand that Uncle An's family brought so much money to buy the land!

Tu Mingyu was not a smart person at all, but compared to other princes, he was more obedient, which was why Emperor Pingkang made him the prince. Now he suddenly knew that his mother and concubine had intervened in the abolition of the prince. Feet, I was really at a loss for a while.

Just when Tu Mingyu was thinking of suppressing this matter, Dali Temple Minister said with a straight face: "Prince, this matter is of great importance, and the ministers and others suggest that the Holy Majesty should interrogate himself."

"That's unnecessary!" Tu Mingyu subconsciously refused. If the emperor knew about it, with his father's favor for the deposed prince, he might let the deposed prince out, and where would he be the new prince? ?

But the Minister of Dali Temple said regardless of the reason: "It's about the abolition of the crown prince, how can we not let the Holy One know!?"

He paused and said again: "Besides, the Jianghuai flood caused countless deaths and injuries. As the Minister of Dali Temple, I naturally have to seek justice for the people in the Jianghuai area."

Although what Dali Siqing said was good, Tu Mingyu faintly saw a bit of ambition in his eyes.

It was only then that Tu Mingyu remembered that the surname of Liu in Dali Temple happened to be from the Duke of Li's mansion. Coincidentally, the concubine, the deposed prince who happened to be pregnant recently, also came from the Liu family of the Duke of Li's mansion, and happened to be from the Duke of Li's mansion. Qing's sister.

For a moment, Tu Mingyu only felt dizzy. It was really a situation where there was a wolf in the front and a tiger in the back.

At the same time, Lin Ruhai was also called into the palace by Emperor Pingkang, and they were talking about Zhen's family affairs again.

Emperor Pingkang had regained some sanity after using An Chongxiang himself. He knew in his heart that the evidence of the Zhen family's crimes was solid, and the guarantee could not be kept.

Although he knew that the Zhen family deserved their crimes, he still wanted the Zhen family to live a more comfortable life because of selfish motives, so he summoned Lin Ruhai into the palace and asked him to come forward and buy the Zhen family when the Zhen family was sold, and bring them back to the south of the Yangtze River. placement.

The Lin family is not short of money, and Lin Ruhai is not a character who wants to kill everything. The only outstanding member of the Zhen family is Zhen Yingjia. Zhen Yingjia is dead, and Zhen Er and Zhen San are not to be feared. Besides, according to him, these two people may not live long. , even if there is no Prince Yu, the law of the country is hard to forgive, it is absolutely impossible to allow these two people to survive.

It's nothing to send Mai Zhen's family back to Jiangnan for resettlement, but...

Lin Ruhai asked cautiously: "Master Hui, this old lady Zhen..."

It's fine for the others, but this old lady Zhen is really embarrassed, she is not Emperor Pingkang, and she is not that interested in adding an ancestor to serve on her own head.

When Mrs. Zhen was mentioned, Emperor Pingkang sighed slightly, "I will arrange for the old lady."

He was too anxious before, he clearly supported Mrs. Zhen and the whole family of the Zhen family, no wonder the court was a little bit soft-spoken; but now he only honors Mrs. Zhen, and it is in private, so he wants to come to court. Nor will it be difficult for a female relative.

Although Xia Dequan on the side listened obediently with lowered eyebrows, a murderous look flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Mrs. Zhen couldn't stay anymore.
