Chapter 184: Such a Good Thing

"Who did this?" When the empress was thinking relatively quickly, the prince's eyes darkened in the East Palace, and he looked around, "Investigate immediately! If someone from Gu's side did it..."

After a short pause, he said decisively, "Don't blame me for being ruthless and ruthless!"

All his confidantes knew that the matter was no small matter, Chun Jiasheng favored the new queen, and the new queen was not a good stubble.

If what happened this time was done by someone from their side, even if the crown prince really didn't know anything, how could the new queen be willing to let it go?

Think about it, Gong Xiangbing has only been in power for a few days, his father is still in his prime, and his aunt is still favored. , I can still understand a little bit inside and outside.

But Shu Wang and Wei Wang, these two, one has a better reputation than the other, and the other is well-behaved and does not cause trouble.

Well, because King Wei followed King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing, he had some grievances with the crown prince.

King Shu has never really had any conflicts with anyone, and never fights or grabs.

If such a master cannot be tolerated by the prince, who else can the prince tolerate?

It must be known that there was a Shenzong emperor in the country!

What did that one do after he became enthroned?

Brutely killed the thriving main branch into almost a single lineage!

Not to mention the situation that directly caused the monopoly of foreign relatives, even after Xiaozong had no heirs, he still needed to adopt from a distant branch.

Since Chunjia has kept Ji's lesson in mind, no matter how much he likes Gong Xiangbing's ability, will the incident of Shenzong happen again?

Gong Xiangbing was recognized by his father purely by his ability and character. They are not like Yun Fenghuang's heirs, who have a more or less flesh-and-blood relationship with the emperor.

So once he loses power, will the emperor care about his life or his future?

...Probably not.

Besides, there is a possibility of reaching the top, even if wealth and glory can be guaranteed in the future, who would be willing to miss the position of supremacy?

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Since His Highness was registered, he has often restrained us, and we have repeatedly admonished others. It is likely that our people are not so confused." The confidant calmed down and persuaded in a low voice, "After all, you have to make repeated orders and five orders. No conflict with Zhonggong is allowed. Even if someone knows about this and wants to flatter His Majesty, they should at least test their words... This subordinate has never heard a single word. If it is that kind, it has nothing to do with us , but under our banner, Your Majesty knows clearly, and will not give them a chance to splash dirty water. Your Majesty is firm in his determination, and although he is new and tempted, he is not easy to shake. If this is the case, how can it be that it is not His Highness's fault at all? Punish Your Highness?"

He glanced left and right, and he couldn't help but feel reminded, "It's... is it possible that it's the new empress calling for a thief?"

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately said: "Don't worry about it so much, first make sure that this fire can't burn alone."

Hearing what he said, his confidant knew that this master also wanted to take the opportunity to play in the middle palace, but the situation is unclear now, so it is not good to act rashly.

He had an idea in his mind, so he retired, and after a long while to report, he was very happy: "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with us. Who did you start with? It was the people in front of Sui'an who first spread the word!"

"Oh?" The prince said with a flash of thought, "Xie Wuzheng doesn't seem to be so unwise?"

As for Yun Fenghuang, it would be even more impossible for him to shoot himself in the foot like this.

The confidant said in a low voice: "The empress and consort or the city are deep, but Xie's family background is humble, Xie Wuzheng was lucky enough to enter by relying on the empress, and also favored Princess Sui'an, so his reputation among scholars is not good. He has not recruited any outstanding talents to plan for him. It is not impossible for some of the subordinates to lose their heads."

"Are you sure?" The prince still couldn't believe that such a good thing happened, "Those people really made trouble on their own, and didn't have any contact with us? Especially money?"

The confidant nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this is a big matter, how dare your subordinates ignore it? Even if those people were bribed, it has nothing to do with us!"

"..." Gongxiang Bing concentrated for a moment, and his expression relaxed, but soon he rubbed his face, put on a heavy and sad expression, and rubbed his eyebrows and eyes hard, trying to put on a look that was about to choke. Only then did he lead people to the Palace of Absolute Beginning to defend himself.

In fact, Yun Fenghuang didn't underestimate the prince. Before he went to the Taichu Palace to make a head start, he arranged for a thorough investigation, and gave him several preparations for the situation.

If it was in the past, she would definitely not be wary of Xie Wuzheng.

But even Ji Qin had met, so Yun Fenghuang naturally wouldn't naively think that his 21st brother would continue to be harmless.

Therefore, this matter was caused by Xie Wuzheng's subordinates. After reporting it to the imperial court, Yun Fenghuang didn't panic at all, but had an unbelievable expression on his face: "How is this possible?! Your Majesty, although I dare not say how kind I am. Mind, but how can you make a fuss about Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi, or the most difficult to explain clearly the affair between a man and a woman?! Brother Twenty-one is not only a son-in-law, but also Xiaoliu Xiaoqi's uncle and uncle, so how could he do such a thing? What happened! Why is Brother Twenty-one so unwise!"

Seeing this, Chunjia frowned even tighter, standing on the standpoint that both of them wanted to protect themselves, no matter whether the matter was initiated by the queen or the prince, it was not a good thing.

The best thing is that this matter is caused by irrelevant people, then directly declare that someone can't see the royal harmony, and deal with it as they want.

Now, the suspicion that the prince couldn't hold back and wanted to murder the Zhonggong was cleared away, but the Zhonggong was very suspicious that he would rather go with the six or seven princes to target the prince.

Even if the crown prince is sensible, if he doesn't say that, the ministers in the previous court would have doubts like this: Yun Fenghuang is not that kind of silly, white and sweet person, not to mention that she has been doing a lot of cleaning up the East Palace these days!

The emperor glanced at the Secretary of the Imperial City, and the Secretary of the Imperial City was also very embarrassed: "Return to Your Majesty, this matter...many people outside know about it."

How did they know that this answer was not what Chunjia wanted, but they couldn't hide it, if they made up a random report, it would be easy to cause trouble.

"I don't believe my uncle will let the subordinates do this." At this moment, the prince stood up and said in a deep voice, "I request a thorough investigation of the perpetrators, to find out the real culprit!"

Anyway, he was sure that this matter had nothing to do with him, so it didn't matter who was found out.

If it is someone related to the middle palace, it happens to be a bad sell, and maybe it can incite the officials to target the new queen.

If not, he is not the one who is unlucky, anyway, he is based on the persona of filial piety to the prince.

Yun Fenghuang glanced at him coldly, ignored him, but said to Chunjia to himself: "Your Majesty, it seems that the people behind the scenes are not only after the concubine's mother and child, but even brother twenty-one is not willing to come." Let it go! No matter what results are found out this time, I beg His Majesty to remove Brother Twenty-One from his official position and let him go back to his hometown to farm and study. After all, the Xie family has gone through the past, and now the population is dying... I really can't bear the slightest twists and turns Already!"

"I'll check it out." Chunjia sighed, feeling very tired, and said lightly, "Everyone be safe and don't be impatient."

Seeing that it was almost noon, he simply waved his hands to let the queen and the prince go back to the palace for dinner.

He planned to take this time to think about it, what should he do next?

But Yun Fenghuang and the prince looked at each other and didn't get entangled, after all, they also had to consider similar issues.

"Your Majesty, it turned out to be the son-in-law's trouble." Feng Jia just returned to the Chongchang Palace, and the Qing people waited for the servants, who couldn't hold back their calm expressions, and said anxiously, "Ji Qin, that lowly maidservant, could it be that the East Palace has already been established?" , are you going to turn against your empress right now?! If so, what should I do?"

If other people go against Yun Fenghuang, they will not be afraid.

But Ji Qin, because of Xie Wuzheng's help in covering up, knows too many secrets that he shouldn't know!

In particular, they have a good understanding of Yun Fenghuang's true face. Once it is exposed, will Chunjia trust and love Yun Fenghuang as much as she does now? This...

It's really hard to say.

No, it should be said that unless Chunjia is fascinated, otherwise he will be considered tolerant if he doesn't get into a rage!

"..." Yun Fenghuang's face was ashen, and he was silent for a moment, before he said lightly, "They don't have any proof, let's talk about it when the time comes."

It is impossible to lose the first hand.

She pondered for a while, and then said, "Besides, if these individuals stand with Gong Xiangbing and are exposed, it will not be a good thing for Gong Xiangbing! Your Majesty values ​​his ability and character, and also values ​​that he has no relatives behind him... But the remnants of the Ji family still have the ability to lurk around people close to this palace, dormant for many years, know many secrets that His Majesty does not know, and even threaten this palace that even the East Palace is helpless. You say, Your Majesty will rest assured The world, give it to such a prince?"

Chunjia has neglected the second prince and the third prince all these years, except for using these two sons to fish, it is absolutely impossible to say that he doesn't mind the twin princes' Ji's blood in the slightest.

After all, it has only been a few days since Donggong was oppressed by Yun Fenghuang?

The prince is still calm, the princess is going crazy!

Chunjia lived a similar life for eight full years. Maybe the Ji family was self-confident and would not find faults like Yunfenghuang, but the Donggong couple had Chunjia watching, and Yunfenghuang did not dare to kill them openly. kill them! Chunjia was not good at that time, would the Ji family be merciless in killing him? impossible things!

Furthermore, no matter how stressed the princess is, she dare not use the prince as a punching bag.

Concubine An used to cry and fight with Chunjia a lot back then!

Just because Chunjia can get over it doesn't mean he will forget about this grievance. Therefore, for people like Ji Qin, it’s okay if they don’t stand for Gongxiangbing, but if they stand for Gongxiangbing, Chunjia, who originally stood for the prince, will probably consider replacing him!

The reason he worked so hard to secure his position was not to take advantage of the Ji family.

A prince who was born of Ji's daughter but has little impression and affection for Ji, and is even quite resentful, and a prince who was born of Ji's daughter but has been secretly cultivated by Ji and still has great influence. Maybe after the new king came to power, he would be able to rehabilitate and even honor the Ji family, and even the prince who revised the history books... the difference is too great!

In particular, Chunjia himself was not the kind of flawless son of heaven, he was adopted as the vassal king of Yuanzhi under Xiaozong's knee, and it is well known that the Ji family had made great efforts, especially Ji Sheng was the empress of Xiaozong Yuan, and he was the aunt he should respect no matter what, but Ji's family and Ji Sheng were all folded into his hands. This point, no matter how taboo it is in the history books, cannot be avoided. Chunjia didn't care about these things and just wrote them up, but at least to be fair, she should also record how the Ji family treated him and how she took the blame for herself!

If Gongxiang Bing listens to the remnants of the Ji family in the future, deletes the Ji family's one hand to cover the sky and empties the emperor, and even threatens the imperial power, and only says that he has no conscience, this...

Just thinking about it makes me angry!

Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, but gradually calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Unless Ji Qin wants to trap both the palace and the prince, otherwise he will definitely not take the initiative to cause trouble in this way at this time!"

"As long as the secrets mastered by Ji Qin and the others are not passed on to His Majesty, then I have nothing to fear."

"Of course, don't take it lightly!"

"One is that this little bastard is not a fuel-efficient lamp; the other is that anyone who dares to attack me at this time must have quite a backhand..."

She was thinking about her possible opponents, the loving empress dowager, the Meng family, the Ouyang family, Duke Yi... Well, there are too many.

And specifically speaking of grievances, allies over the years, such as the Cui family and the Yin family, are not impossible.

After all, it was because of interests that they gathered at the beginning, but now it is not surprising that they are stabbed in the back because of interests.

...Forget it, I can't count it, let's see what happens.

The Empress regained her composure and said: "My Palace has already invited me to go down with Your Majesty in the next day. For this, there must be room for mediation in all matters. Therefore, no matter what kind of ironclad evidence is like a mountain, there is no need to shake your mind. .As long as you can deny it, it's all nonsense!"
