Chapter 204 On the Technique of Nonsense

As a veteran of the two dynasties, Ouyang Yanran has experienced ups and downs. She is a seasoned person, but she is more than a little better than Yi Guogong.

These words sounded like they were thinking of the Empress Dowager Yuan, but in fact they were a tactful suggestion that Chunjia Gangang be arbitrary, so that the emperor would not soften his heart at the moment, and wait until the Empress Dowager... The Empress Dowager Yuan is not a fool, she will admit it willingly Under this charge? At that time, don't make any troubles again.

Is it because the court has not lost enough face this year?

"..." Chunjia hesitated after hearing the words.

Ouyang Yanran made persistent efforts and persuaded: "Your Majesty, besides, the government and the public are aware of this incident. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, if it is delayed, I am afraid that it will also hinder the reputation of the loving mother Empress Dowager?"

Stealing the beam and changing the position, or using the baby boy to pass off as the emperor's daughter, and arranging to raise it under the empress's knees... Really when the court announced that the eighth prince is indeed the heir of the emperor, this matter is over?

Ever since the public heard the news that the farmer went to the court to sue the imperial court, these days, what guesses or rumors have there been?

Empress Dowager Yuan was suspected early in the morning.

After all, as the biggest backer of the Yuan family, how could she be completely out of touch with matters related to the Yuan family?

What's more, here, there may be someone who is deliberately fueling the flames...

In short, the courtiers don't want Chunjia to be merciful, and they have to deal with this matter as soon as possible.

After all, this is not the only trouble in front of them right now.

Where is there so much effort to dawdle here?

The most important thing is that these important ministers don't have a very good impression of Queen Mother Yuan. They think that whether it is Queen Mother Yuan or Queen Mother Qu, since they are all elders of Fuyang King's lineage, and they are not Xiaozong's wives and concubines, why should they live in the house all the time? Won't you leave the palace? King Fuyang's lineage has all had heirs! If these two people know the rules, they should go back to Fuyang County to live in a hurry, instead of messing with the concubines in the palace!

Now that such a big mistake has happened, to be honest, it is Chunjia's maintenance and filial piety to Queen Mother Yuan over the years that made the important ministers acquiesce in picking out Queen Mother Yuan first.

Otherwise, she is the one who bears the brunt of the most suspicion now!

"What do you love ladies think we should do?" Chunjia's face sank like water, his thoughts turned, and after a while, he asked in a deep voice.

Ouyang Yanran said calmly: "This kind of crime can be punished by seizing the noble family!"

Duke Yi looked at Chunjia's expression, thought for a while, and tentatively said: "If His Majesty shows pity, can we just let it go?"

It was rare for him to flatter the emperor once, and he had no other thoughts, he simply felt that Chunjia had worked hard enough for the past two days.

There are too many moths in front of the harem.

Although a group of courtiers were unlucky, and the rest were also in fear, but the worst was undoubtedly the emperor.

"How can such a big matter be lenient?" Ouyang Yanran vetoed it just as soon as the words fell, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty has said it all, and this is a big matter... If this time of favoritism and connivance in the past, then who will pay for it in the future?" Would you be in awe of the heavenly family? In my opinion, not only can't I just let it go, but I should deal with it more severely, so as to make an example to others!"

Ouyang Yanran was used to guessing Chunjia's intentions, Duke Yi and others were a little dazed when they saw this.

After all, everyone could see that the emperor didn't doubt the Queen Mother Yuan, but he just couldn't bear to embarrass the Queen Mother, and even the Yuan family couldn't bear it.

Under such circumstances, they tacitly avoided the loving mother Empress Dowager, and only talked about Concubine Yuan Xian and Uncle Xingning's Mansion. Although it was a step back, it was also a quick cut.

Now Ouyang Yanran said this... If the emperor can't make up his mind, wouldn't it be procrastinating?

"Your Majesty, confusing bloodlines is no small matter. This is no longer a matter of your Majesty's family. It is related to the foundation of the Gongxiang family's ancestors." Ouyang Yanran ignored Yi Guogong's gaze and Tong Chunjia said to himself, "How can you downplay the past because of His Majesty's own selfishness? Even if it's not a Tian family, an ordinary family, if similar things happen, it doesn't mean that you can just deal with it yourself."

Hearing that Duke Yi was still thinking about it, Yin Qu came to his senses and seconded, "Your Majesty, the male heir brought back to the palace by Concubine Yuan Xian to pretend to be the prince, and even sent to the empress's knees to be raised by the empress dowager, is It's the blood of the Yuan family! This alone shows that the Xingning House is insane! Your Majesty has always treated the House generously, and they will repay their kindness in such a way, and they don't know how many illegal things they have done in private to live up to the emperor's grace!"

Although the other courtiers haven't fully understood it yet, it doesn't matter, Ouyang Yanran and Yin Qu both spoke, and said that generally speaking, they can't go wrong!

Even if they were wrong, these two were the first to be unlucky anyway.

The honest Lord Yi was once again reduced to the last speech: "...my minister...seconded."

He felt a little helpless, a little aggrieved, and glanced at Ouyang Yanran with a little resentment.

Anyway, they have been ministers of the same court for so many years, and the relationship is not bad.

If you have an idea, please remind me!

Every time I see me being the last one, all the good words are finished by you, I... I am also under a lot of pressure, okay!

However, Ouyang Yanran had no time to pay attention to him at the moment, but took the lead in kneeling down on the ground, asking Chunjia for the sake of the society and the clan, and also to prevent the loving mother and empress dowager from being suspected of being involved. It is a must and must!

At this point, no matter how stupid the courtier was, Chunjia actually didn't want to let the Yuan family go.

The reason for hesitating is just a posturing, and it is likely to be for the empress dowager to see.

At this time, veterans like Ouyang Yanran stood up and demanded that he should not be punished lightly, but instead catered to the holy will.

Sure enough, Chunjia was "forced" by a group of courtiers kneeling for a while, and tried to argue a few words, but after being dismissed by Ouyang Yanran with reason and evidence, she finally sighed and said rather "helplessly", "In this case, I... naturally dare not break the national laws and family rules for my own selfishness!"

"Your Majesty is holy!" All the ministers kowtowed quickly.

The emperor called Pingshen disgruntled, and then discussed with them, how to deal with Xingningbo Mansion?

Although none of Yuan's family holds important positions now, but after all, it is the Empress Dowager's natal family, and they have been Chunjia's direct relatives for more than ten years. It is no problem if the emperor wants to take action, but there must be a reason.

Especially since the matter of the Eighth Prince has only been pressed down, wouldn't it mean that if the Yuan family is moved at this time, there will be no money here?

"Your Majesty." Ouyang Yanran then proposed to follow Ji's example and find other reasons to take care of the family, but there is a disadvantage in doing so, that is, Ji's side has already done it once, and a similar method will be used now. With so many people, there are always some smart ones, who may see the truth. And the speed is also slow... The Ji family is ruining their reputation first, and it won't be too good to completely reject the honors bestowed on the Ji family in the first half of a year?

Seeing Chunjia pondering, the courtiers also helped to think hard, at this time Yin Qu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty once said that the two empress dowagers and the twelve princes' boats capsized should be thoroughly investigated by your majesty and empress. In the end, I don’t know, but now there are clues?”

Several colleagues frowned and looked at him when they heard this.

I think this guy is too ignorant.

Are you going to provoke the emperor before the eighth prince is settled?

Are you afraid that our face-to-face meeting will be too easy these days?

Chunjia listened, her expression turned cold, and she said calmly, "Some news...what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know if this matter is related to Xingningbo's mansion?" Who knows that Yin Qu narrowed his eyes slightly, but said, "After all, it was Xingningbo who brought this matter to the temple! As we all know, the loving empress dowager treated Yuan The family restraint is very strict. If the loving mother Empress Dowager finds out about the Yuan family stealing dragons for phoenixes, the loving mother Empress Dowager must not let her go lightly! Although Xing Ningbo is the direct brother of the loving mother Empress Dowager, is it possible , the life experience of the eighth prince was unintentionally discovered by the loving mother, the empress dowager... Uncle Xing Ning was afraid of the consequences, so he took advantage of the palace change to poison the loving mother, the empress dowager?"

"As for the Holy Mother Empress Dowager and the Twelve Princes, it was because they happened to be in the same boat with the loving mother Empress Dowager and were accidentally injured?"

In the imperial study room, the monarch and his subjects were speechless for a while.

This is pure nonsense...

After all, let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about Xingningbo Mansion, how capable is it to stretch out its hand into the Taiye Pool to harm people?

What's more, the eighth prince was sent to the queen to be raised by the empress under the arrangement of the loving mother empress dowager. After that, the empress dowager basically never saw the grandson. In this case, how would she find out that the Eighth Prince had a problem with his life experience? This is almost what the queen found out!

but……

Ouyang Yanran and other courtiers looked at Yin Qu with weird eyes. This old man...is really a calf protector!

For the seventh prince in the hands of the noble concubine, she really fought hard!

These words, every word and every word, seemed to justify the empress dowager's loving mother. The most brilliant thing was to cater to the emperor's idea of ​​wanting to protect the empress dowager Yuan but not the Yuan family very much.

Very likely to be accepted by the emperor.

Of course, afterwards, the possibility of being hated by Queen Mother Yuan is not small.

In other words, he provoked the Empress Dowager Yuan!

"...I will investigate thoroughly." The emperor pondered for a moment, took a deep look at Yin Qu, and said softly, "If you have nothing else to do, you should step back first, I will think about it carefully."

When the ministers saw this, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they hurriedly left.

After they had all left, the emperor leaned on the throne and looked down at the spacious imperial study. After a while, he sighed softly and asked, "How are the two empresses doing now?"

The two queen mothers are still recuperating now.

At least that's how it's said to the outside world.

Chunjia considered it again and again, and finally went to see the Queen Mother Yuan.

Empress Dowager Yuan said that she just woke up from a lethargic sleep, her pale face looked very weak.

She seemed to be out of spirits, and her voice was clearly out of breath.

"The queen mother will give birth to the general and raise her. There are children in other things." Seeing this situation, Chunjia was generally relieved, and seeing her closed her eyes, she left.

After he left, Empress Dowager Yuan immediately opened her eyes, her eyes were complicated: "I'm afraid the Yuan family won't be able to survive this disaster."

Zhan Liuqiang smiled and said: "Your Majesty still doesn't forget to visit you now, how come?"

"If he doesn't come, there is still some hope. Why do you think he came?" The Queen Mother Yuan sighed weakly, "He still has some old feelings, but that's it. I can't bear it, come to see Ai's family, accompany Ai's family, do my filial piety, no matter whether Ai's family appreciates it or not, at least he feels much more comfortable in his heart."

"Your Majesty, don't be like this, Your Majesty will always remember you in his heart."

Empress Dowager Yuan said: "Forget it... the Ai family can't control him now, even if they try their best, he may not be willing to listen... The Yuan family will collapse if it collapses, the Ai family is not dead, the emperor will not be wiped out... …For the rest, if you want to see Ai’s family in two days, and you go back to Ai’s family, let them pack up and go back to Fuyang County, and don’t come out again in the future. God’s will, the Yuan’s family can only be famous in the county Fuze, but why force it?"

She was already prepared to accept a bad result here, but she didn't expect that when the imperial decree came down, it would be worse than expected.

According to Yin Qu's proposal, Chun Jia directly pinned the blame for Zhou Ji's overturning on the heads of Mr. and Mrs. Xingning, saying that the couple were insane. Because of their ignorance, they repeatedly asked the Queen Mother for official titles, but were rejected by the impartial Queen Mother. He didn't think about his own faults, but turned to evil, taking advantage of the palace change, to murder the two empress dowagers and the twelve princes!

And because none of the three died, Xingningbo and his wife were terrified, and even went so far as to use the imperial concubine as a shield!

After this series of operations, if the family is not punished, it is the emperor's grace.

So Chunjia also showed his benevolence very generously: depriving the Yuan family of titles, degrading the family members to ordinary people, Xing Ningbo and his wife and sons who mixed or suspected of mixing with Concubine Yuan Xian to steal dragons and turn phoenixes will be beheaded , other people, male, female, young or old, will be exiled to the frontier!

And all the properties of the Xingningbo Mansion were confiscated, and they were handed over to the two queen mothers and the twelve princes as a shock!

Even the daughters of the Yuan family in the palace were also affected. Concubine An was demoted back to Jieyu. Bongyi!

The ruling and opposition parties were all shocked!
