After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 245 Breath of Storm

When Yingshu returned to the palace this day, she felt the increasingly obvious, gloomy and damp atmosphere before the storm.

After His Majesty the Emperor temporarily locked the gate of Xianyang Hall, he actually ordered all the female imperial concubines living in Changfeng Hall to move out!

Not to mention the Eastern Yu Dynasty, even including the Western Yu rule, there has never been such a precedent. The harem was shaken by it, even more violently than the reprimand given by Queen Yu. As soon as the middle daughter Yi saw Ying Shu, she hurriedly stepped forward to discuss: "The nobleman's rank is equal to that of his wife. According to the laws of the palace, Zheng Guiren should have chosen which female royal servants to serve in Changfeng Palace. However, the female queens of Changfeng Palace were not demoted, but His Majesty ordered They all moved out of the Changfeng Hall... I heard from Zhongchang Shi that His Majesty punished Mr. Zheng for listening to the slander. But who made the slander and what kind of slander it was, Zhong Chang Shi refused to reveal it. .

Ah Shu, we all know in our hearts that although Mr. Zheng is not as favored as Mrs. Xie and He, but because he was born in Zheng, Changping, His Majesty's favor to Changfeng Palace is no less than that of Zhaoyang Palace and Hanguang Palace. This time Although it is a small punishment but a big warning, doesn't ordering all the female imperial guards to move out of the Changfeng Palace indicate that the female imperial guards in the inner court will no longer be able to have close contact with the Changfeng Palace? "

The rank of madam, noble concubines and nobles are below the queen and above the nine concubines. Historically, these three concubines have been respectfully called "madam", but now that Concubine Zheng has been scolded, outside of Changfeng Hall, No one dared to use the honorific title anymore, and of course the title "noble" was not derogatory. Even if it was called in person, Concubine Zheng could only swallow this feeling of cowardice.

Yingshu expected that there would be a turmoil, but she did not expect that the turmoil would come so suddenly. However, she still had a sinking look on her face and was not shaken by the shock at all. She softly responded to the middle-aged woman Yi: "Although Zheng Guiren comes from a powerful family, for The wife who has made a mistake has made a mistake, and should be reprimanded by your Majesty. In fact, it is just to ask the female imperial concubines currently serving in Changfeng Palace to move away. Your Majesty did not order Zheng Guiren not to call female imperial concubines to serve as servants from now on. Although such a reprimand There is no precedent for this method, but is it reasonable for Your Majesty to depose Mr. Zheng if he makes some minor mistakes?"

If Concubine Zheng is really deposed, Changping Zheng and the third prince will definitely be unable to hold back!

Changfeng Palace was suddenly hit by a huge wave. Concubine Zheng was confused first. Of course she knew about He's "tactful" slander in front of His Majesty the Emperor, but she didn't take it to heart at all. She looked down on He. , thinking that as long as the princelings and Madam Xie were eradicated first, the He family and the second prince could be uprooted without any effort. Who knew that His Majesty actually listened to the He family's slander this time and used Changfeng Palace to operate on her, catching her off guard! ! !

Although the female imperial concubines, including Yu Cairen, were all moved out of Changfeng Hall, the gate of Changfeng Hall was not closed after all. Concubine Zheng reacted quickly, so the next day, her old father and son went together. When he came to Qianyang Palace to seek justice for Concubine Zheng, Sikong Tong did not summon Zhongshu Shilang or other foreign ministers to serve on the records, but only asked Yingshu to "serve with pen and ink".

Zheng Bei, Duke of Changping, was a steady man in Ying Shu's impression. Although he did have the intention to fight for the throne, he would not rush into it. And sure enough, on this day, although Zheng Bei was dissatisfied, his words were not arrogant at all. He first said It was a sin, and he blamed himself for not teaching his daughter well, but when the conversation changed, a cold dagger was revealed in his modest sleeves.

"I am extremely frightened, but I don't know what fault Zheng Guiren has committed. I hope your majesty will make it clear that I have another request. I am indeed responsible for teaching my daughter improperly and should bear severe punishment. However, Zheng Guiren is the biological mother of His Highness the Third Highness after all. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you for the sake of His Highness the Third Highness."

These words were indeed Zheng Bei's tone, and Ying Shu was already "familiar with them".

After the death of the third prince Sikong Mujiao, Zheng, who had become the concubine, soon died in the palace without any medicine or stone. But in fact, it was she who gave Zheng his death! Yingshu didn't know whether Sikong Mujiao had any rebellious thoughts. After Zheng heard the bad news, she secretly colluded with her brother Zheng Yao to rebel. Although Zheng Yao was Zheng Bei's eldest son, he had an irritable temperament, but he conspired with Princess Zheng. Before Zheng Taifei's letter was sent, it was intercepted by Zheng Bei. Zheng Bei knew that Zheng Taifei was bound to die, but when Zheng Taifei was secretly given her death, he used a similar force to force Sikong Beichen to dethrone Wansu from the throne and give it to Changping Zheng. A family confession.

Sikong Beichen was hesitant at that time.

It was because of Yingshu's dissuasion that Sikong Beichen did not take Zheng Bei's threat and step into an obvious trap.

In Zheng Bei's view, a daughter's life and death has nothing to do with the overall situation, but in Fan Yang Gong Lu Gao's view, Wan Su's safety must be guaranteed. Therefore, if Wan Su is deposed, Fan Yang Lumen will no longer be of the same mind as Sikong Beichen. Instead of raising an army to plot rebellion, the entire clan would move away from Jiankang, stay away from the court, become passive in the world, and would no longer be willing to serve mediocrity.

This is not because Fan Yanglu ignores the overall situation. This is human nature. Fidelity is the foundation of one's life. If a monarch betrays his trust first, what qualifications does he have to demand loyalty from his ministers? Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Water is not a disaster, it is already a good thing.

Although the Zheng family in Changping had outstanding capable men, the patriarch Zheng Bei was contrary to the character of the gentry, and he was not so convincing to the people of the clan. Therefore, Zheng in Changping was saved from annihilation.

Yingshu only listened to how His Majesty would respond.

"Sanlang, don't you know why I reprimanded your mother and concubine?" Sikong Tong asked.

The emperor actually discovered that his son seemed to be distracted. When he entered the imperial study room, he knelt down and saluted. When he heard the word "kneeling free", his buttocks fell on his heels. He did not notice at all that his grandfather Zheng Bei did not dare to kneel down. If this was not too outrageous, his eyes would What's the point of spying on his daughter's history every few breaths? So much so that he would glance at Yingshu from the corner of his eye from time to time. The middle daughter Shi Mingming was very conscientious and focused on her duties, refusing to flirt with anyone.

Sikong Mujiao didn't hear his father's question.

He was too suspicious of Zhongnvshi. Before Zhongnvshi entered the palace, his mother and concubine were as comfortable as a fish in water. She had never been as crazy as yesterday. She even clamored for military remonstrance. Her arrogant style was really frightening. . He didn't have any evidence to prove that his mother-in-law's collapse was due to his daughter's history, but he couldn't help but doubt it. Since Wang Yingshu joined the imperial court, too many things have happened. Queen Yu's halo as a first wife has dimmed, and she and her confidant Liu have both suffered losses.

Li Pin was inexplicably favored, Shi Pin was spared, and Sikong Nanci was given the important position of supervising the palace guards. After thinking about these events, they are inseparable from the middle daughter Shi, and his mother-in-law was hit hard in the head. , does it really have nothing to do with Wang Yingshu, the history of middle-aged women?

Sikong Tong's question received no response, so he felt embarrassed at first. What was even more embarrassing was Zheng Bei. After thinking about it, he coughed twice. As a result... Ying Shu was "alarmed" by the dry cough first and looked at it in confusion. After looking at Zheng Bei, the third prince still had no reaction!

"Sanlang!" Sikong Tong shouted loudly.

The third prince woke up from his dream and stared at his father in confusion.

Zheng Bei suddenly had an idea and said with a smile: "The Third Highness is worried about Mr. Zheng, but he knows that Your Majesty will not have an attack for no reason. He is hesitant at first. Not knowing whether His Majesty has calmed down, he is hesitant to intercede for Mr. Zheng. Third His Highness admires Zhongnv Shi very much. Who can actually relieve His Majesty's worries when Zhongnv Shi is no more than a hairpin? Even the Lord of Shenyuan Palace appreciates Zhongnv Shi's talent. As expected, he is still the Linyi Guild's trainer. There are so many famous ladies in our dynasty, but only the female historian is as talented as the men, which is truly admirable."

With the high hat down, Yingshu also felt embarrassed.

Zheng Bei, an old fox, no matter how cunning and cunning he is, can't make things come out of nothing like this, right? The third prince admires the middle daughter Shi? ha! Although the third prince is not as merciful as the second prince, he has never admired any woman, okay? What does admiration mean? He admires and admires the third prince. He is an out-and-out man. The third prince and his concubine were childhood sweethearts. They were not the typical orders of their parents. What was the result? During the palace banquet, he just wandered off for a while. Half a beat after toasting, the third prince was able to make a long face in front of everyone, except that he didn't teach his wife a lesson in public.

It's just that in this situation, it's hard for Ying Shu to talk.

Sikong Mujiao finally woke up from a dream and kowtowed: "Because I was uneasy, I didn't pay attention to my father's inquiry. I am ignorant. My father forgives me."

The third prince did not follow the steps that Zheng Bei had set up, which somewhat comforted Sikong Tong: Zheng Bei, an old man, dared to control my own son in front of me. Hum, Sanlang is so good, and he also knows that closeness has consequences. Don't.

His face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "That's all, I know that Duke Chang Ping's intention of coming today is to seek justice for Concubine Zheng, so I asked the middle-aged woman Shi Shi to record it. I didn't tell the foreign ministers, so I said it clearly. If I really She must be punished according to the laws of the palace, but Concubine Zheng was spared from the death penalty. It was because I forgave her for the sake of Saburo!

Duke Changping, Sanlang, you should all know about the defeat of the Yizhou Army. This matter is confidential. How did you learn about it? "

The third prince felt like he was struck by lightning.

Zheng Bei was not much better. He never expected that His Majesty's attack on Changfeng Palace would be caused by such an accident!

"The reason why I punished the queen is because the queen placed eyes and ears in my Qianyang Palace and gave the prince a chance to repent out of consideration for the prince's favor. Similarly, regarding the punishment of Concubine Zheng, I also took into account Sanlang's favor. Zheng The concubine didn't know how to reflect. She only thought that her crime had not been exposed. She actually dared to encourage Duke Changping and Sanlang to question my decision. Duke Changping, otherwise I would simply abdicate the throne to the Duke. I deeply feel that it is beyond my ability. Duke Changping already has assistants. She is capable of politics, and she must also firmly believe that Concubine Zheng can rule the harem..."

"I deserve the death penalty!!!" Zheng Bei banged his head and kowtowed heavily.

Yingshu put down her pen and turned it into a decoration. She had actually determined that His Majesty the Emperor would never give Zheng Bei such a heavy slap if he did not have a reason to convince Zheng Bei. However, hitting the face with the palm of his hand would not hurt the bones. Your Majesty acted like this to make Concubine Zheng furious first - Concubine Zheng's anger will not be directed at Mrs. He first, but will definitely be directed at Mrs. Xie!

Yingshu also knew that His Majesty the Emperor would give her another mission next.
