"I thought the late emperor always had feelings for the dowager concubine, but Wen Zhuo became the minister, and not only did he not work seriously, he also accepted bribes and used his power to frame officials who were not on good terms with him in the court. When the late emperor found out, he was furious and executed the minister who did this, withheld half a year's salary as a warning to others, and even took his anger out on the dowager concubine, demoting her from imperial concubine to concubine." The aunt reached out and gently touched the tombstone in front of the tomb, saying with heartache.

"At that time, the late emperor banned the concubine from traveling. The two, who used to be a loving couple, had not seen each other for more than a month. I thought Wen Zhuo would be more restrained, but he embezzled money under the pretext of offering sacrifices. This was told to the late emperor by the newly appointed Minister Zhou Ling, so the late emperor took advantage of the situation and made Wen Zhuo's sacrifice go wrong on the spot."

"With the late emperor's order, Zhou Ling temporarily took over all matters handled by Wen Zhuo. With the late emperor's tacit approval, he used the secret medicine of the Imperial Hospital on Wen Zhuo, and he never recovered from his illness. The late emperor spared his life because of his relationship with the concubine. But because of him, the late emperor treated the concubine with extra indifference, and this estrangement was not resolved until the late emperor passed away."

"It's a pity, it's a pity."

Gu Changfeng was very surprised. He thought that Zhou Ling had plotted against Wen Zhuo, but he didn't expect that this was actually the intention of the late emperor. No wonder Zhou Ling wanted to get rid of Wen Heng so much. He was the scapegoat of the late emperor, and he couldn't say it out loud for the rest of his life.

And Wen Zhuo is not as useless as people remember. He even allowed the late emperor to take action against him for the sake of the Concubine Dowager's face. He is simply a cancer!

Gu Changfeng raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Since then, the Wen family has declined?"

The aunt sighed, rubbed her fingers, and said, "No, Wen Zhuo has been looking for the truth about the frame-up, but how could the late emperor let him continue to investigate? It happened that at that time, the Wen family's bank outside the capital had a problem, and Wen Zhuo was distracted. The position of Shangshu could not be left without a master for a day. The late emperor missed the concubine and let Wen Zhuo retire and return home. From then on, Zhou Ling took over the Ministry of Rites."

"It was Zhou Ling who took over the bank, but it doesn't matter. Even if Zhou Ling didn't take action, the late emperor would have taken action."

With the order of the late emperor, Wen Zhuo will never be able to find out the truth in his lifetime.

"Does Wen Heng know about these things?"

Aunt: "He doesn't know. The Concubine told me before she died that I must not tell Wen Heng about this. He is a smart child. If he knew that it was his elder brother and the late emperor who caused the decline of the Wen family, not the Zhou family, he would find it difficult to serve as an official and the royal family."

"Serving the royal family? Auntie, what you mean is that Wen Heng left the Mausoleum of the Concubine Dowager not because the emperor was soft-hearted, but because of the late emperor's will?"

The candle in front of the concubine's tomb had burned out, and my aunt replaced it with a new one. Her brows were full of distress, "The late emperor always thought about the concubine."

Ok? ? ?

How can there be two hidden plots in this place? Is there a bug???

At the same time, a sharp and piercing voice rang out from Gu Changfeng's mind: "Hahahaha, hahahaha, I finally don't have to stay on the cat!"
