Chapter 211 The Teaching Workshop Makes Candidates

The talent ceremony is no small matter, and the emperor is furious at the court, and the people below dare not neglect it.

In particular, Sun Yusheng, the envoy of the imperial city, was afraid that something bad would be thrown out by the emperor to quell the anger of the public, so he worked extraordinarily hard, but within two days, the truth of the matter had already come to light: Although the Xingningbo Mansion was among them, other big families in the imperial capital, including high-ranking officials and eunuchs, also There are not many innocent ones, and they all have traces of fueling the flames.

But what makes people speechless the most is the direct attack. In fact, he is a humble scholar.

It's even the kind of talented and beautiful person who seems to be the best when Emperor Chunjia chooses his sister-in-law.

It's not surprising if you think about it carefully, after all, even if the sons of high-ranking and wealthy families get rid of all the low-ranking scholars on this list, the possibility of being the master is not high.

On the contrary, for people like them, if they kill an opponent, they will have more hope.

Of course it is leading by example.

The nobles of the imperial capital were excluded early on, and there was no lack of resentment in their hearts. Out of various thoughts, after realizing it, instead of reporting, they secretly guided and helped them. I am happy to see these people killing each other from now on. There is a lot of trouble, so there is no need to worry that they will unite and shake the position of the powerful.

"Your Majesty, this Nie Bochen is quite suspicious." Yun Fenghuang learned the inside story from Chunjia, thought for a while, and said, "Although his words are reasonable, many poor scholars have never noticed it. How could he be able to grasp the truth under the tacit cover-up of every family?"

To her sincerity, these words are half-truths and half-false.

Indeed, I have some doubts about Nie Bochen, suspecting that he was a thief calling for a thief, that he cheated his brothers of the same clan, and then sold these things at a good price, so that he could stand out from the crowd—similar to Yuan Wei, this one is also the kind of person who has enough knowledge but not good looks Yes, if there hadn't been such a thing as knocking Deng Wengu, and there was no background, how could it have caught Chunjia's eyes?

But the most important thing, of course, is to help Xie Wuzheng suppress his competitors.

In case the emperor would value Nie Bochen more and rank Xie Wuzheng behind him.

"Being an official in the court, you don't have a heart, how can you be an arm for me?" Chunjia knew what she was thinking, and just smiled when she heard the words, and said gently, "Regardless of whether he is duplicity or not, since the Imperial City Secretary has no If we find out the clues, then I will count him as a passer."

Regret flashed across Yun Fenghuang's eyes, it seemed that Nie Bochen really fell into Chunjia's eyes - she didn't force her to say bad things about him, but asked with a smile: "Is the concubine going to congratulate Princess Jinyun when she turns around?" Your Highness?"

When mentioning Princess Jinyun, Chunjia frowned slightly, and after pondering for a while, said: "Mother, the Empress Dowager is not in the palace, I'm afraid it's not enough to just tell Wu Taipin about this matter. Let's take it easy, wait until I send someone to the palace I've reported it over there, let's talk about it."

Apparently the Son of Heaven intended to use Nie Bochen, the wife of Princess Jinyun.

"Not to mention Nie Bochen's character, he does have means." Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips and smiled, "Even if his appearance is rumored to be lacking, he is still a man, and talent is the most important thing. Presumably, the empress dowager will be very happy Jinyun The princess has to meet her lover!"

The imperial concubine felt that these words were too shameless, so she was silent for a while, and did not continue this topic, but discussed how to end this matter?

To be honest, it is impossible, those humble scholars who attacked their companions can be handed over, but the Xingningbo Mansion must not be involved.

This is not just for the Empress Dowager Yuan's face, the most important thing is that this is the emperor's mother's family. If the emperor's status is not stable, it will not be a good thing for Chunjia if the mother's family falls into such a scandal.

So it must be concealed.

But if only the Xingningbo Mansion is selected, the other prominent families involved will not let it go.

After all, the reason why they dared to fan the flames was because they watched Yuan shi charge forward and mixed with the idea that Yuan shi would give priority to topping the tank if something happened.

If the emperor dragged the sidelines to get rid of the Yuan family and specifically punished them, maybe there would be one or two families who quietly spread the news and muddied the water.

Therefore, no matter how angry Chunjia was, she had to compromise now, hide the truth, and pick and choose two innocuous scapegoats to close the case.

"Uncle Xingning's residence is too confused!" Yun Fenghuang frowned and said to Yuan Shi, "It is His Majesty's direct relative's family, and he has won His Majesty's preference. If you want to honor the Lord, you can go directly to the palace and talk to the loving mother, the Empress Dowager." It doesn’t matter if you tell His Majesty in private, it’s not impossible to discuss—there are three golden branches and jade leaves, if they don’t open their mouths, how do they know there is no hope? If they know there is no hope, there is no need to do such unnecessary things—but they do it secretly If you act like a ghost, you just do it, and you are so careless, you are forced to fall into the trap! Isn't this intentional to cause trouble for His Majesty!"

Chunjia sighed: "Forget it, after all, it's the family of the mother and stepmother, and the matter has come to an end, blaming them is useless, and let's rely on those people, pick the two that don't matter, let's settle the matter."

His attitude and tone were very calm, and he only said slowly, "I have endured these people for eight years, and I don't care if I endure them for a few more days."

Yun Fenghuang couldn't help saying: "These years, I have truly wronged Your Majesty."

Chunjia smiled and didn't say anything, and asked people to do it lightly-then the next day, the court announced the reason for the frequent accidents of poor scholars. , Chunjia despised the humble scholar.

It happened that these poor scholars hooked up with the official prostitutes under the hands of the Jiaofang envoy in the place of fireworks, and learned that the emperor loves the princesses. It's just that they are not the most outstanding people, so they feel jealous and hate for this, and they murder other scholars. Then lead to this right and wrong.

Of course, the matter of Xie Fu is also included.

Together with several other injured scholars, they received various compensations from the court.

However, because his reputation was damaged, he didn't suffer any harm that he couldn't end, so it was just some financial compensation and verbal encouragement.

For example, brother Nie Bochen, his right hand was seriously injured. Even if he will be raised until the beginning of next year, it is difficult to write a pen. Of course, the court's consolation is more considerate-after all, compared to missing Enke this time, these compensations are actually comforting That's all.

"This is the candidate for the new Jiaofang envoy, so it's good for my concubine to be the master." As the new year is approaching, the imperial court has dealt with the relevant people vigorously. Shenwu... came back from the previous court today, but gave Yun Fenghuang a list and told her, "If you don't know the details, you can discuss it with Zhao Rong, Zhao Rong must have heard of it."

Yun Fenghuang was rather surprised: "Jiaofang Envoy?"

How did you leave this matter to yourself?

Although she presided over the palace banquet and occasionally called Jiaofang envoys to lead prostitutes to attend the selection, but the Jiaofang Division was always under the control of eunuchs. To be precise, this faction, in the Kingdom Dynasty, was Zheng Gu's territory for the past two generations of kings.

She was naturally surprised that Chunjia suddenly brought it up to her to decide.

But then I thought, "Could it be because of the assassination last time?"

The last time the assassination was done without any risk, in the final analysis it was part of the regent's counterattack, he didn't intend to kill himself - in order not to completely tear himself apart with the emperor, the regent arranged for Anzi who was lurking in Jiaofangsi.

Afterwards, under investigation, although some people were dealt with, after all, everyone knew what to do and did not go to war.

Who knows that Chunjia has always remembered, taking advantage of this opportunity to directly take down the Jiaofang Secretary, is this to vent her anger?

Yun Fenghuang was a little dumbfounded for a while, she was definitely not tolerant if she was a person.

But it's not someone who can't tell the difference between right and wrong.

The assassin came from the Jiaofang Division, but the culprit was the regent, so she wouldn't be angry at the Jiaofang Division just because she couldn't do anything about that Gong Xiangruoji for the time being.

But this was Chunjia's wish after all, and Yun Fenghuang would not refuse. Now that he figured it out, he smiled and kissed him on the cheek, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness! I will send someone to invite you later." Sister Wei, come here."

"Although you are in the concubine position now, you are really a deputy queen." Chun Jia glanced at her and pointed out, "In the future, all kinds of grand ceremonies and palace banquets must be held. The number of times you have to deal with the Jiaofang Secretary will not be less It is convenient for the Jiaofang envoy to be replaced by one of our own people."

"What Your Majesty said is true." Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart that it was not just to make her vent her anger, but also to make her act more appropriately.

She regained her composure, and told the emperor a few more palace affairs, the two had lunch together, Chunjia went back to deal with government affairs, and then sent someone to invite Wei Hengyan over.

Wei Hengyan was born as an official, and his grandmother was the eldest princess of the same generation as Emperor Shenzong, so he naturally had an understanding of the inside and outside of the palace.

After taking his seat, he figured out the purpose of Zhenfei's summoning, and after a little thought, he explained some people and things about Jiaofang Secretary in detail.

At the end, he said: "Sister, these are all mentioned by the family members occasionally, but I don't know if there are any changes in the middle. Why don't sisters ask the family members, especially the old people around the grandmother, to come to the palace tomorrow, Check it again, so as not to miss my sister's business."

Yun Fenghuang naturally agreed, this was specially given to her by Chunjia, and she didn't want to make a hasty decision.

So Wei Hengyan asked his family members, and then came over to give her some supplementary information. She then sent Chen Zhu and others to confirm it inside and out. .

At this time, she also remembered that when she was assassinated, the trickster who rushed up to rescue her asked Chen Zhu, and Chen Zhu said: "Back then, when the army was in chaos, we were all busy serving your mother, and we didn't know her details, so we called the imperial physician to give her She took a look and sent her back. Hearing that the Jiaofang Division let her recuperate from her injuries, she was included in the list of dancers as usual."

Yun Fenghuang said: "Although I don't know what the intention is, after all, if there is some loyalty in broad daylight, let others take care of it. But there is no need to do too much."

After all, everyone knew about the assassination, and the mastermind didn't want anything to happen.

Who knows if this trickster also came from the regent's court, and he stepped forward in order not to play off at a critical moment?

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang really didn't have much gratitude to her, otherwise he wouldn't have remembered it until now.

Chen Zhu responded with a smile.

After this matter is dealt with, the New Year's Eve is approaching.

Even if one lives deep in the harem, separated by heavy palace walls, one can occasionally hear the sound of firecrackers going up and down the imperial capital.

Chunjia came to Xuanqing Palace on this day, and suddenly said to her: "Your brother and sister-in-law are coming to the imperial capital for the first time, the year is approaching, and next year they will be leaving. I'm afraid they are too busy to take care of their knees. Why don't you bring your niece to the palace?" How many days will you stay here? If your sister-in-law misses you, let her come in every now and then to visit."
