The emperor is embarrassed

The Empress Dowager was very worried about the condition of the Taichang Princess Xiangyi. If the Empress Dowager Wei hadn't persuaded her, the Empress Dowager would have visited the Taichang Princess' mansion in person.

"Shuyuan is too careless. How could she dare to tell her aunt and grandma about such a big matter? Don't even think about how old she is." The anxiety in her heart made the empress dowager show her affection for Shuyuan in her words. The eldest princess was dissatisfied, and sighed, "It's thanks to my sister who loves her so much and thinks about her in everything, but she is so careless in doing things." At the beginning, in order to fear that the eldest princess Shuyuan would be wronged, the eldest princess Xiangyi was still in the Taihuang Wasn't it the one who picked Queen Mother Wei in front of the Queen Mother?Now that Princess Shuyuan has made such a big mistake, even the Empress Dowager, who has always favored her granddaughter, does not want to protect Princess Shuyuan anymore.

Empress Dowager Wei said, "I don't think it was intentional to come to Shuyuan. Alas, I heard from the emperor that he just sent a memorial from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and only showed it to a few ministers in the cabinet. I am afraid that my aunt will be worried if she finds out. I didn't get it to the court, and I asked people to keep it secret. I didn't even know about this before. I don't know where Shuyuan got wind of it, so she went to tell my aunt so bluntly."

"My aunt is as hot as fire, and she is seventy years old, who can bear it."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she blurted out without thinking, "Now you are in charge of the harem, even Shuyuan and the others are your nieces. If there is something wrong with them, you should take care of them. Otherwise, a Two people who are so irrelevant will make the outsiders laugh."

The Empress Dowager Wei responded in a low voice, and comforted the Empress Dowager for a while before returning to Shou'an Palace.

Princess Shuyuan knew that she had caused a catastrophe, and soon after she returned to the mansion, she was reprimanded by the order of Shouan Palace.Then Princess Shuyuan's mansion was closed, and the eldest son-in-law Lu Wentao was called to the palace for interrogation.

Lu Wentao just found out about the mess his wife caused, and he couldn't escape being involved in this matter.Kneeling in the Xuande Hall, his face turned pale.

Ming Zhan asked lightly, "Apart from me in the cabinet, only the other five ministers knew about Zheng Kaijun. I ordered people to stop talking at that time. Where did you find out?"

In April, the temperature in Xuande Hall was moderate, but Lu Wentao was sweating profusely, his clothes were wet in a short time, and there were patches of sweat stains on his back.Ming Zhan didn't speak, Lu Wentao didn't know how to answer for a while, and the quiet needle drop could be heard in Xuande Hall.

Apart from his own heartbeat, there was only the sound of his own breathing, and the silence brought unimaginable pressure to Lu Wentao.

In fact, it wasn't long before Ming Zhan approved a few memorials when he saw Lu Wentao collapsed on the floor tiles of Xuande Hall with a pale face.Ming Zhan didn't pay attention at first, but He Yu reminded softly, "Your Majesty, the son-in-law has passed out."

This makes me dizzy, and my mental quality is really bad.Is it okay if I faint?Ming Zhan ordered lightly, "Get cold water and wake up."

Speaking of it, this is also a great skill of Ming Zhan, who scared Lu Wentao to death without saying anything.Ming Zhan is secretly proud of his majesty, and often brags to Ruan Hongfei about it afterwards.However, this is really Ming Zhan thinking too much.

For example, Lu Wentao, he really didn't get fainted by Ming Zhan, he fainted by himself.It's really because the Lu family has done too many bad things, and Lu Wentao is very good at brainstorming.Before Ming Zhan had dealt with it, Lu Wentao began to imagine that now that Princess Shuyuan had lost power, he was secretly inquiring about the imperial secrets, and both husband and wife were disgusted by the emperor.The future of the Lu family can be imagined.

In an extremely quiet environment, Lu Wentao focused on the fictional nightmare in his heart, and under Ming Zhan's pressure, he felt guilty and passed away.Of course, under the effect of the cold water, he quickly regained consciousness.

"Minister, I'm guilty." Lu Wentao thought about all the consequences, and frightened himself to death once.Since ancient times, the only one to die in hardship, after figuring this out, Lu Wentao leaned over and pleaded guilty.

"I ask you, where did you get the news from?" Ming Zhan repeated his question again.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Lu Wentao knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said with difficulty, "I'm working in the Ministry of Punishment, and I got the news from Lord Shang Shujian."

Ming Zhan didn't continue to ask this question. Instead, he changed the subject. He was very curious, "Lu Wentao, do you think I will definitely step down? Or do you think my throne is unstable? I won't be the emperor for long, huh?" Otherwise, how could so many people focus on conspiracy?

It is a solid charge to spy on the imperial court, and Lu Wentao can't justify it.However, Ming Zhan didn't dare to admit that even if he killed Lu Wentao, Lu Wentao nodded his head and said, "I dare not think about it. Master Zheng's matter is really ordered by the princess, and I dare not refuse to do it. "The same husband was originally a bird in the same forest, and they flew separately when the disaster was imminent.By this time, there is only one thing to do.

These days, as long as there is no rebellion, the imperial court will not kill the princess.Correspondingly, the safety of the son-in-law is not so reliable.Anyway, princesses don't often have them, but concubines do.

As long as the princess is here, whoever the princess marries will be the son-in-law.

Lu Wentao was terrified in his heart, and when things came to an end, he couldn't care less about "a husband and wife for a day, a hundred days of kindness, and a hundred days for a husband and wife are like the depths of the sea".What's more, what he said is the truth.Furthermore, Lu Wentao sincerely blamed Princess Shuyuan for arbitrarily intervening in politics and causing disaster.As a result, the entire Lu family followed suit.Thinking of his family, Lu Wentao took out some of his responsibilities as a man, and said in a deep voice, "What I do is all done on my own will. Your Majesty, my family really doesn't know what's going on."

At this point, Lu Wentao really regretted it, Ming Zhan had already started using him.Last time he did a good job and got a lot of rewards. If he is an official, he may not be able to make his mark.Lu Wentao repented again and again, choked up and said, "Your Majesty has used a lot of ministers, and I really don't dare to be disrespectful. But, I thought, if the Supreme Emperor returns, I might be able to benefit more as a son-in-law. Therefore, , give birth to delusional thoughts, and then do something stupid. I am sorry for your majesty, please punish me severely."

Ming Zhan nodded after listening, "There is still some truth in this." If Feng Jingqian comes back, Lu Wentao and others will naturally be the beneficiaries.The blood relationship cannot be changed, even if he treats Princess Shuyuan and others kindly, in his heart, he will still feel that Mingyan and Mingya are more cordial.

"However, I'm afraid it's in your heart that you still have a bit of resentment towards me." Ming Zhan asked casually, "I use Wen Changfeng and Zhan Shaoxi, and I have been idle with you for a long time before. You must be dissatisfied in your heart?"

"I dare not."

"Of course you don't dare." Ming Zhan snorted, "If you don't dare, you don't dare. It's hard to say if you have. Before, the second son-in-law and the third son-in-law were idlers, and you were the only servant of the Ministry of punishment, ranking third rank. When I ascended the throne, The second son-in-law and the third son-in-law are reused, but they are not false to your Lu family, and the case of Lu Ba has swept away the face of your Lu family, hasn't it?"

"I don't dare to die."

"I'm afraid you will think that if the father is in power, you will not treat the Lu family now, will you?" Ming Zhan said to himself, "If the father is in power, maybe Princess Shuyuan will come to the palace to ask for favor. The matter of Lu Ba is over, isn't it?"

Lu Wentao's face was pale, trembling all over, and he said hastily, "The minister will never dare to have such a disobedient heart. The younger brother's matter is his own fault. No one can blame him. Your Majesty's judgment is fair, and the minister's family is convinced. Even if you are angry, it's just that you are not up to date." .”

Ming Zhan didn't continue to talk nonsense with Lu Wentao, and said directly, "Go to the princess mansion to persuade the eldest princess not to look for life. At this time, I don't want to see human life, understand?"

Ming Zhan didn't directly pull him out and chop him up, or send him to prison, Lu Wentao was so surprised that he didn't react.Ming Zhan laughed at Lu Wentao's reaction, glanced at He Yu, and ordered, "Reward the eldest son-in-law with twenty boards, so that the eldest son-in-law can wake up his mind, and it can also calm the eldest son-in-law's heart."

He Yu deeply sympathized with the son-in-law. It is not often that His Majesty is so tolerant, but this one was so shocked that he earned a meal for nothing.It can be seen that in front of the emperor, quick response is also extremely necessary.Otherwise, grace is fleeting and can make people regret.

Although Ming Zhan did not kill Lu Wentao, it was not a good job to imprison him and Princess Shuyuan in the Princess Mansion together.

Although the emperor's birthday did not go well, during the period there was a case of the Marquis of Xining beating and killing the Marquis of Yue, and after the Wanshou Festival, there was a case of Zheng Kaijun's accidental injury and death.However, the emperor himself did not seem to have the slightest trouble.

Princess Shuyuan committed a verbal offense, causing Princess Xiangyi to suffer a stroke and become paralyzed. After the Palace of Compassionate Ning and Shouan Palace issued an order, Princess Shuyuan was ordered to confine herself in the mansion for self-reflection.At the same time, the eldest son-in-law Lu Wentao eavesdropped on the forbidden Chinese language, seized the identity of Uncle Nanfeng's eldest son, and went to the Princess's mansion to reflect.

Then, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment privately disclosed the forbidden Chinese language, and it was downgraded to the fifth-rank censor of Yushitai.Ming Zhan's original words were, "Don't you talk a lot, go to Yushitai and talk enough."

Jian Tao, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Lu Wentao, the left servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, cut off officials and confinement, but it was cheaper for Tan Shijia, the right servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. For phase.

Of course, this is only a major change on the surface, not to mention the other eggs that were broken under the cover of the nest.

However, what people are now thinking about is that Princess Shuyuan and Princess Xiangyi have always been close, and it just so happens that Princess Xiangyi and Princess Shuyuan both clamored to welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the imperial capital. main force.

It has only been two months since the two princesses said this, but as a result, one suffered a stroke and the other was banned.

The point is, even if someone doubts it, Princess Shuyuan really can't blame others for this matter.First of all, Princess Shuyuan is not a fool, and she will not say what others tell her to say; secondly, Princess Xiangyi did suffer a stroke because of Princess Shuyuan.

Alas, what a pity, the old lady is so old.

Princess Shuyuan, where are you from?

You shouted to welcome your own father back to the court, why did you turn around and take the place of the Empress Dowager Wei and deceive the ancestors of our clan like this?Even if Princess Xiangyi is not doing anything, as long as the old man is here and shows an attitude, it will be of great help to us!What's more, the old lady is fierce and strong, with a lot of firepower, what a good knife, it's just so paralyzed.Princess Shuyuan, what are you doing!

What a fucking cheat.

This is the general view of the Shanqihou family towards Princess Shuyuan.

In addition, people like Li Pingzhou would rather believe that this was an accident.

Anyway, Li Pingzhou thought that no matter how capable Ming Zhan was, he would not be able to instigate Princess Shuyuan to stimulate Princess Xiangyi into such a world!

The two princesses stopped, but at this time, Shanqihou and others have not yet returned to the imperial capital from Yungui, and everyone does not know the attitude of the Supreme Emperor, is it?Still not coming back?If the Supreme Emperor came back and saw that his aunt had suffered a stroke and his daughter was imprisoned... Your Majesty, no matter how blatantly you show your innocence, there must be your reasons, right?You have to be jointly and severally responsible, right?

On the other hand, if the Supreme Emperor does not come back.

Let's wait and see, the emperor and the Queen Mother Wei are not easy to get along with each other.

What the cousin is most worried about is Xiaoyaohou and Jinyihou. The two did not join hands in the memorial of Shanqihou. It's just that the current situation in the imperial capital and the wind direction are not very auspicious.

It's going to be summer soon, and suddenly there is a northwest wind, and the weather suddenly turns cold again.

The courtiers of the imperial family had just recovered from the matter of Princess Xiangyi and Princess Shuyuan, but unexpectedly, a blockbuster bomb almost turned the sky upside down.

Because, following the last memorial, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion issued another memorial, which said: The last memorial was sent by mistake. It turned out that Shanqihou and his son were accidentally injured in the hunting ground. The rescue failed and died.It wasn't Zheng Kaijun, it was a mistake.As a result, the little eunuch was careless and sent out the wrong memorial. In order to avoid misunderstanding by the emperor, he sent another urgent letter, hoping that His Majesty the emperor would not misunderstand it.It also explained that the careless and unlucky little eunuch had been dealt with.

As soon as this memorial arrived, even Li Pingzhou wanted to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

No, there is no such thing as playing!

Ming Zhan's old face, which had been tensed for several days, relaxed slightly, and he folded his hands together and said, "Bodhisattva bless you, luckily Zheng Kaijun is fine, otherwise, with Aunt Xiangyi like this, I really can't explain to Aunt Xiangyi. As long as Kai Jun is safe and sound, I think that when Aunt Xiangyi is happy, her condition will also improve. Otherwise, not only I and the Queen Mother, but also the Empress Dowager, will never miss a day without thinking about the condition of the Taichang Princess Xiangyi."

Even Xu San was a little speechless, and thought, Your Majesty, you must be bad.

Ouyang Ke was dumbfounded, and said for a while, "Zhennan Wangfu, Zhennan Wangfu can make mistakes." Is it a matter of human life?

Gu Yueshan, Minister of the Ministry of War, understood it, and immediately spoke for the Zhennan Palace with a clear attitude, saying, "It's just that the little eunuch is careless. Alas, although Mr. Zheng is safe and sound, it's a pity for the father and son who are good at chess." Your Majesty is really capable. ah.No matter whether others believe it or not, Gu Yueshan does not believe in the fact that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion issued a wrong memorial.

Where is Zhennan Palace?

That was the natal family of His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty's own father was the powerful Zhennan King.Now that the Supreme Emperor is on the territory of King Zhennan, how can he come back?Even if he comes back, he will have to wait for His Majesty to ascend the throne for a long time and regain the hearts of the people before he can come back.

Looking at the methods of His Majesty the Emperor, a wrong memorial made the princess Shuyuan, who lacked strategy, personally take action to stimulate the Taichang Princess Xiangyi to half-death.Another correct memorial, warning the careerists in the court with the news of the death of Shanqihou and his son!

Gu Yueshan took a sneak peek at His Majesty the Emperor, and once again sighed, "You can't be judged by your appearance."In terms of appearance, His Majesty the Emperor is really not outstanding, and in terms of age, he is even less than a weak crown. He has been on the throne for one year, and look at his methods, he will not accept it.

Tan Shijia, who had just been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Justice, couldn't understand all the vicissitudes and vicissitudes during the period, and he couldn't show his stupid face dumbfounded, so he had to lower his eyebrows and close his eyes, practicing closed-mouthed meditation.

Ming Zhan's complexion turned from relaxed to dark again, and he sighed, "Yes, although Kai Jun is fine, Shan Qihou is so old, he is loyal, devoted to the court, and shared my worries... This suddenly happened. I really can't open my mouth to tell Mrs. Shanqihou. The old lady is getting old. Oh, how about it, Ouyang, you have always been persuasive. You should first deal with Shanqi tactfully Let the eldest son of the Hou family mention it."

Ouyang Ke murmured in his heart, it's really bad luck, good jobs never fall on him.However, His Majesty the Emperor had an order, so he had no choice but to follow it.

The story of the Shanqihou's family got out, so naturally there is no need to mention the Shanqihou's mansion.According to rumors, Mrs. Shanqihou has been dripping water for several days, and she can't do it anymore.

Although the funeral in Shanqihou's Mansion is a big one, many people in the clan have a subtle attitude towards Shanqihou's Mansion.

Regarding the matter of the two princesses, everyone is still willing to believe that His Majesty the Emperor is innocent.

Now that the story of the good chess master came out, everyone in the clan knew it well: it turns out that His Majesty the Emperor hates the return of the Supreme Emperor so much.

Of course, everyone is not a fool, so after thinking about it: That's right, let alone the supreme throne of the world.Even if you have a title the size of a grain of rice in your family, since you have given it up as an old man, there is no reason to want it back.Furthermore, it is not uncommon for father and son to kill each other for the throne, let alone the current emperor and the Supreme Emperor are not biological father and son.

Also, the people who had seen Ming Zhan's kindness and soft face before had completely changed their views on the emperor, cursing in their hearts, this is all fucking gossip.

If two princesses and a marquis were dealt with so neatly, they would be considered kind-hearted and soft-hearted. I guess there would be no one in the world who was not kind-hearted and soft-hearted.

Human nature is cheap.

Also, it's unbelievably cheap.

In the past, Ming Zhan always greeted people with a smiling face, even if the courtiers offended them a little, he didn't care about them, which encouraged many people's bad temper.What's more, they thought the emperor was easy to deceive.

As a result, Ming Zhan slaughtered Shanqihou, paralyzed the eldest princess of Xiangyi, and confines the eldest princess Shuyuan. All of them became loyal, as docile as a docile lamb under the whip of a shepherdess.

Of course, there are also people who are shocked and embarrassed by this.

It was none other than Princess Jingmin.

Originally, Princess Jingmin ordered the granddaughter of Shanqihou's family to fill in the house for her eldest son Wei Qiaoxiang, but something like this happened to Shanqihou's family.Do you want to marry this daughter-in-law?

If she marries, the girl will have to keep a filial piety for her grandfather for a year.

Wei Qiao continues to marry, so it's okay to delay for a while.The concubine's second son, Wei Di, was married for the first time, and the marriage was bestowed by the Empress Dowager Wei last year.Now Wei Di's age is already past the normal age of marriage. Now, if the eldest son delays the second son, I don't know what outsiders will say.

In fact, there is no need for outsiders to say, even Wei Guogong has to have an opinion.

However, if Wei Di married Ruan Jiarui into the mansion first.Although Ruan Jiarui appeared to be from a normal family background, but that's not the case after all.

If the eldest daughter-in-law enters the house later than the concubine's daughter-in-law, what's the use of the previous arrangement?

Furthermore, the identity of the eldest daughter-in-law... In fact, according to Princess Jingmin's wishes, even if she really wanted to keep her filial piety, she could bear it by gritting her teeth.However, Princess Jingmin was born and raised in the royal family, and she has seen many of them.

At the beginning, she wanted to marry her son-in-law early, but Queen Mother Wei stopped her.

At that time, it was decided by the court that Marquis Shanqi went to Yunnan and Guizhou?

Ever since the news of the death of Shanqihou and his son came, Princess Jingmin had countless midnight terrors. Could it be that Empress Dowager Wei knew that Shanqihou and his son had gone to Yunnan and Guizhou and would not come back?Otherwise, why would Queen Mother Wei stop her from marrying the granddaughter of Shanqihou for her son?

Must be.

Princess Jingmin thought over and over again, it must be true.She understands Queen Mother Wei's temper to a certain extent. Queen Mother Wei has always been a person who does not do anything, and is a person who must do everything. Once she makes a move, she will never give anyone a chance to stand up.What's more, Marquis Shanqi wanted to welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the palace, which in itself was a challenge to Mingzhan's imperial power.

Empress Dowager Wei went through the battle for the reserve position in the last years of Emperor Renzong, and she was never relentless politically for the Feng family brothers to be able to ascend the reserve position.Now, when it comes to her own son, the Empress Dowager Wei is even less polite.

Since the Empress Dowager Wei blocked Wei Qiao's big wedding, then, presumably, the Empress Dowager Wei did not want to see the marriage between her and Shanqihou's mansion.Another point, Princess Jingmin is very clear that even Aunt Xiangyi has become like that, since Shanqihou and his son have been moved, it seems that Empress Dowager Wei and Ming Zhan do not plan to let Shanqihou's mansion go.

The most important point is that Marquis Shanqi passed away, and seeing that the funeral was over, the decree of Marquis Shanqi's mansion to attack the prince has not yet come down.Then, whether the Shanqihou Mansion will still exist in the future is a kind of uncertainty.

Such a family.

Is she going to make such an in-law for her son?

Princess Jingmin hesitated.

Eldest Princess Jingmin is worrying about her son, but now, there is another person who is a hundred times more distressed than Elder Princess Jingmin.

This person is none other than Princess An Yue who received the news of her son's death.

In order to keep abreast of the wind direction of the imperial capital, Marquis Anding never stopped communicating with the imperial capital, so he naturally learned the news that his son Yu Zhennan's palace had been accidentally injured and passed away.One night, Hou Anding's hair was half white.

Even if his wife is powerful, Hou An Ding makes some pornographic news from time to time, and then gets involved in domestic violence or something.

However, from beginning to end, he had only one son, Zheng Kaijun.

This son was sculpted by Marquis Anding with exhaustion and painstaking efforts over the past [-] years. Moreover, the son was exceptionally competitive. He passed the Tanhuaer exam at a young age, not to mention how handsome he was.

In Houmen Gaodi in the imperial capital, who wouldn't envy him for raising a good son.

Now, my son is on a long-distance business trip, so he just went, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, who can not feel sad?

Immediately, Marquis Anding didn't feel like working on an errand anymore.Immediately, he ordered his servants to pack up their things, and prepared to take his crying wife back to the imperial capital.Something happened to my son, no matter what, the body must be brought back.

No matter how sad you are, you have to collect the funeral for your son.

The husband and wife were teary-eyed and teary-eyed. Before they set off, they received another message: their son Zheng Kaijun was fine, he was fine, and he was safe and sound. Shanqihou and his son died.

The poor Andinghou couple didn't know how to react.

However, on the land of Huaiyang, when it comes to being pitiful, the Marquis Anding were only fooled by false news, and they really can't bear the word "most".

Compared with Fang Shenxing, who was transferred to Taiping County as the county magistrate, Andinghou and his wife are still doing well.
