"Your husband also said that I am protecting you. Could it be that what your husband has done is not protecting Brother Yang? After all, you don't want to make Brother Yang suffer in the future. Compared with your husband, I am nothing." Chu knew Jia Zhen's thoughts, She was also in the same mind as Jia Zhen. Although Jinling is the place of her ancestral home, the rich and gentle town is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. Some forces have quite a few of them, so calling Yang Geer in the past was just to experience it and learn a lesson, but the two of them didn't expect to have this trick.

"Who told him to be my son? If I don't worry about him, who else should I worry about. I'll go and think about it, and I'll see the news about Jinling by the way." Jia Zhen finally felt much better, and waved her hand before leaving Chu. Shi's yard. "Madam, why did you let the master go so quickly?" Jin Ling was a newly promoted second-class maid, smart and intelligent, so Jin Xiu brought her by her side.It's just that the servant girl is young and curious, and almost all her thoughts can be seen through. "Don't talk too much." Xiuju nodded Jinling's head, and Jinling hurriedly apologized to Mrs. Chu, who told her to go down.

"The books are all put away." Chu asked. "It's all put away, my wife has to take a look at it again." Xiuju hurriedly replied. "I'm sure you can do things at ease. Speaking of which, you served the master before I even passed the door. Later, you married the steward of the mansion, and now you have three children." Seeing the woman dressed up, Chu has already Looking at the aged face, he couldn't help sighing. "My wife still remembers this little thing." Xiuju hurriedly said with a smile, waiting for Chu's next words.

"How could you not remember?" Mrs. Chu smiled slightly, as if a little sighing, thinking that when she just married, she was very wary of the maids like Xiuju, even if the husband didn't have maids, aunts and the like at that time It's hard to guarantee that there won't be any in a few years, and these maidservants who have been serving her husband are very likely to be future aunts.Who would have imagined that the husband didn't have such thoughts at all, which made Chu's surprise even sweeter.

"By the way, you have to keep an eye on the maid next to Brother Yang." Chu ordered without being too immersed in the trivial matters of the past. "Don't worry, ma'am." Xiuju agreed neatly.

After Jia Zhen talked with the Chu family, she felt much better.However, he soon became unhappy. "Master Liu's post?" Jia Zhen was a little stunned. Although he and Liu Hongfei had a cooperative relationship, they were not very familiar with each other, let alone such a solemn post to pay their respects. This made Jia Zhen feel that something big had really happened.

Liu Hongfei didn't expect this at first. The relationship between him and Jia Zhen is so neither deep nor shallow, neither near nor far, which is just excellent.However, after he received the letter from Empress Liu, he felt that he had to discuss it with Jia Zhen in detail. The backlash they were worried about before seemed to have appeared, and it appeared in a way they did not expect.

"You mean His Majesty is particularly interested in Taoism?" Jia Zhen looked at Liu Hongfei in a daze. "Indeed, the Holy Majesty has secretly discussed with the Taoist in detail these days." Naturally, Liu Hongfei's news channel cannot be wrong, and Jia Zhen knows this well. "Who started it? I don't know if it has been found out?" Jia Zhen felt strange. Although the court is not peaceful these days, it is not so that they can't even hear this movement.

"Do you have any impression of Xia Peng, Mr. Jia?" Liu Hongfei asked with a sigh. "Xia Peng." Jia Zhen only felt that the name seemed very familiar, and it took a long time to realize it, and asked with some hesitation, "Are you talking about Xia Peng, one of the great eunuchs who served by the late emperor?" "It is this person At the beginning, all the old people who served the late emperor were going to be sent out for the elderly, but somehow, Xia Peng was simply missed. Presumably it was through the relationship of Concubine Zhen that they stayed. Do things in the fruit room." Liu Hongfei was also depressed when talking about this matter, who would have cared whether such a eunuch would stay or stay, and Concubine Zhen might not have meant it. "An eunuch who was in charge of the former emperor would not be willing to work in the tea and fruit room. I think he took advantage of the loophole and got the favor of the sage." Jia Zhen guessed what these people were thinking, and continued.

"It is precisely this reason, and it is he who encouraged the Holy One to pursue prolonging life. This is not a problem at all, but I didn't expect that there is a countermeasure waiting." Liu Hongfei nodded, frowning fiercely. Planted on this, although Emperor Zhenghe is young now, he is only in his thirties, and he will not be confused, but if he can live a long life, which emperor would not be happy to do so, but thinking of the stalls left behind, Taoist priests in the Forbidden City are rampant, The government is in a mess, and the Tian family is fighting endlessly.

"What does the queen master say?" Although Jia Zhen was a little worried, she couldn't help complaining about the feudal monarchs in her stomach, but this matter is not under their control, unless Emperor Zhenghe intends to let Taoist priests participate in the government affairs, otherwise it is really not true They can intervene. "The queen's master said that she only hopes that people inside and outside the palace will not be contacted. Xia Peng can rely on someone behind her back. She in the palace will investigate clearly. As for the people in the court, I have to let you and me bother." It's gone." Liu Hongfei sighed, this matter is not too much of an obstacle to Jia Zhen, on the contrary, it has a deeper relationship with their Liu family and the prince, and this person in front of him may not be willing to go through this troubled water.

"Foreign relatives and eunuchs have been taboos in the imperial court since ancient times. Xia Peng did this and colluded with Taoism. Sooner or later, he will be able to get on the line with those officials who don't worry about it. How could this fire not burn on me?" Jia Zhen saw Out of Liu Hongfei's thoughts, he took a sip of tea, and then slowly opened his mouth.Leaving aside the fact that he supported Catholicism in a disguised form and suppressed Taoism and Buddhism, he has inadvertently created some enemies, but more importantly, he belongs to the reformist faction. He offended many forces and officials, and now I don’t know how many people are plotting, hoping that he will stumble, and it is best never to get up.If Emperor Zhenghe believes in Taoism, Taoist priests will undoubtedly be able to infiltrate Emperor Zhenghe and influence Emperor Zhenghe's thoughts. At that time, the status of reformers like them will be in jeopardy.

"Things may not be as bad as we thought, but the Queen's master should make a decision early, so as not to suffer in the future." Jia Zhen was a little tired, but raised her eyebrows, she was still the vigorous official minister.At this point, there is no way to retreat, but to move forward. "Master Empress understands that the Holy Majesty and the Empress are not the only ones in the harem." Liu Hongfei knew his sister's plan. Others might be concerned about Zheng Hedi's identity and power, but only one who didn't have such scruples, and what he said carried the most weight. Heavy.

"What do you mean—" Jia Zhen suddenly understood, this is an excellent candidate, and it is an extremely appropriate method.

At the same time, Empress Liu also started to act. "It's hard for you. I only want to have grandchildren and enjoy the family relationship. Unexpectedly, there are villains who want to hinder it." The queen mother sat upright in the upper seat, a pair of gentle eyes flashed a cold light, when she was able to Beside the suspicious former emperor, she always sat firmly on the queen's seat. Although there were many beauties in the palace, no one dared to test her edge. The empress dowager's ability can be seen. "I beg the queen mother to teach my ministers." Queen Liu asked very respectfully.

"You did a good job before, and you didn't startle the snake. Xia Peng is a person who I know well. He does have a way of flattering you, but this idea is not something he can think of. There must be someone behind him to help him." The queen mother sneered, "We must find out all the people who colluded with him. The people in the harem have no ideas, so it may not be that the family forces behind them have no ideas. But the people behind her may not be willing to just disappear from everyone, and you can't let go of those women who have just entered the palace." The queen mother lightly brushed the rosewood table with her hand, and picked up a fruit. .

"My son has been educated, what about the Holy Majesty?" Empress Liu and Emperor Zhenghe had an unusual relationship, so she was naturally concerned.The Empress Dowager looked at Empress Liu's expression with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes, and said with a smile: "You child is affectionate, and this palace just likes you, but you still owe some time after all. Let me ask you, if the Holy Majesty knows If Xia Peng has evil intentions, will he still believe Xia Peng's words? One time of infidelity, a hundred times of disobedience. You also understand the emperor's character." The Queen Mother has always been satisfied with the daughter-in-law of Empress Liu, so she simply opened the skylight and began to speak frankly. . "I don't need you and me to preach and analyze this matter with Huang'er. King Xunjun and Huang'er are brothers and sisters, and they have their own way." The queen mother showed a faint smile. King Xunjun is the seventh younger brother of Emperor Zhenghe. , because of his young age, his skills are not enough, and he is not as important as the prince of Li in the court. Because Hezheng and Di are brothers from the same mother, they won the title of prince of the county, and they are often criticized behind their backs for not being worthy of the name. King Xunjun was young and energetic, so he couldn't help feeling dissatisfied, his words showed a bit, and the relationship between the government and the emperor was not as cold as before, and it was much colder.

"Prince Xunjun and His Majesty are brothers and sisters, but it's a pity that they are not good at expressing it. As a sister-in-law, I can't just sit idly by." Empress Liu is so smart, she immediately figured out the joints.Since King Xunjun intends to improve his performance, the Queen Mother is happy to see it succeed. Naturally, she will not have other ideas. Besides, the two of them are really rebuilding the old relationship. It is also an extra arm for her husband. Why not do it .

"Just watch." The Empress Dowager smiled benevolently, and Empress Liu had to admire this kind of demeanor.Thinking about it carefully, since I can get the news, how could the Queen Mother really not know about the abnormality of the Holy Majesty, I'm afraid she already knew it in her heart.After all, I still lack some enthusiasm. Thinking of this, Empress Liu couldn't help but flush a little, and finally recovered her original expression and attitude.
