[Red House] Lixian

The queen mother ordered someone to present the letter to Wei Qian.

Wei Qian took a look, her crescent eyebrows were slightly frowned, with a look of surprise on her face.

The handwriting on the letter was almost exactly the same as hers, and the seal on the back was also privately sealed by Wei Qian, and even the ink pad was Wei Qian's special product mixed with plum blossom dew.

"False to this extent, everyone has a heart." If Wei Qian didn't know it, she might have been concealed by this letter.

The degree of simulation is as high as 90.00%, who would not believe that he is adulterous after seeing it?

"Hmph! Forgery? Your Majesty is still stubborn?" Wang Jieyu jumped out to argue: "Who doesn't know that your Majesty has three seals in her hand. Could it be that the private seal used in this letter is not yours?"

"It is well known that this palace has always used private seals to cover family letters, so it is logical to steal private seals." Wei Qian flipped through the letters one by one, the last letter was three days ago, that is, a few days after the private seal was smashed.

Wei Qian had a clue in her heart, secretly amused, and was happy to see Wang Jieyu and others tormenting.

"But this candidate..." Wei Qian smiled, "Wang Zheng?"

Wei Qian shook the letter: "Wang Jieyu, it's all right for you to frame the palace, we will slowly toss about the harem matter. But you are implicating Mr. Wang, what a crime it is to frame important officials of the court"

"Framed? Could it be that the empress feels sorry for her lover?" A Baolin said sarcastically, and went out to report to the queen mother: "The queen mother has learned that a few months ago, I saw Lord Wang come out of the Qingsi Palace with my own eyes."

"Nonsense, Your Majesty is going south, I don't want to discuss palace affairs with Mr. Wang, the minister of the interior, can I go to you?" Wei Qian pointed to the civil servants beside him: "You are a reporter for every word and deed of the concubines today. Turn around and report the daily life of the palace. Bring it to the Empress Dowager for a look. I have a private meeting with a lover? Then we have to see where I get the time!"

Wei Qian's every word and action is recorded, even if there is a time difference, the interval between recordings should not exceed half an hour.

Of course, apart from Wei Qian and Qi Jilang, only Situ Yun had seen the things recorded in the daily notes.

"You people insist on involving Bengong and His Majesty Wang. Are you going to make a fuss about the former court or the Eastern Palace? This matter is going to be a mess, and the sour bags of the former court should be nagging in the ears of this palace and His Majesty. They will all be killed."

Wei Qian glanced around coldly, Wang Jieyu's heart was pounding, and she forcefully argued on the face: "It's not your mother's turn to speak. I'll wait with all my heart to seize the evidence, and I can't bear to be deceived by your misfortune. "

"I heard that my sister met Mr. Wang in Jinling back then?" Chen Mengyu couldn't help but said, "Over the years, Mr. Wang has helped my sister a lot. The relationship between the two is indeed very close."

"Back then, His Majesty was in possession of the Pearl of Wisdom, and arranged the layout in the Jinling Palace. Because the Empress Dowager fell ill, I had no choice but to take charge of the overall situation. At that time, Wang Zheng did help me a lot. Why, do you think that this palace committed adultery with Wang Zheng at that time? "Wei Qian couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, her flowers trembling wildly.Later, she said to the Empress Dowager next to her, "Your Majesty knows the situation at the beginning."

At that time, Situ Yun disappeared, and people in the palace were panicked.Wang Zheng is the cousin of Queen Wang and uncle of the prince.Only by maintaining Situ Yun's status can the safety of the prince be ensured.That's why Wang Zheng teamed up with Wei Qian to suppress the courtiers.

"You want to settle the matter now?" Wei Qian vaguely thought of something: "Wang Jieyu, remember your grandfather was demoted because of the palace?"

The queen mother's heart moved, and she vaguely remembered this matter.

After the Jinling Palace incident, Situ Yun accumulated political capital, the Supreme Emperor delegated power, and tacitly allowed Situ Yun to deploy his own people.In addition, a large number of people from the Five Princes were uprooted.

At that time, Wang Jieyu's grandfather belonged to the group who lost power because of his close relationship with the Fifth Prince.

"So, to avenge the family?" The queen mother thought of the relationship between the Wang family and the fifth prince. "The fifth one is ready to toss again?"

Situ Yun treats his four brothers very well, and they are all princes at present, with super-rank titles, among which the loyal and brave prince is the most trusted.

The Queen Mother thought about the black hand behind this incident. Since courtiers were involved, it may not be Wang Jieyu alone.

Besides, she didn't think Wang Zheng would commit adultery with Wei Qian.Even if Wei Qian really wants to find someone, it must be Yang Kai who is closer to her.

But Yang Kai is working in the palace, not like Wang Zheng's family is in the outer mansion, so if it is really an affair with Yang Kai, it is not easy to find evidence.

"Wang Zheng has been married for many years, and you torment him, you are really not afraid of the gossip of the wives." Wei Qian threw the letter away, and said indifferently: "I want to report to your empress, after reading the letter, I don't know who planted the concubine for these dirty things. But the concubine’s innocence can be learned from the day, so there is no need to argue, Your Majesty knows it. If there are still people who say that they saw this Palace for a tryst with foreign ministers, they will take them to Zichen Palace and hand them over to His Majesty. Let’s see what His Majesty says.”

"Sister." Seeing that Wei Qian was too lazy to speak, Concubine Wen became anxious.

At this time, I suddenly heard a report from the outside world: "The emperor has arrived——"

The concubines hurriedly stood up to greet her, and Wei Qian helped the dowager to meet Situ Yun at the door.

Situ Yun was dressed in ordinary clothes, his face flushed with anger, and when he saw the concubines, he threw his head and covered his face and cursed: "Bitch, die!"

Chen Mengyu was overjoyed, but what happened next surprised her.Situ Yun slapped Wang Jieyu away with a blow of the horsewhip: "Arrest her, I want to see who is framing Concubine Ning and the courtiers."

Situ Yun was both ashamed and angry, and was stunned when he received the news from Jia Yuanchun.

Immediately afterwards, Prince Donggong, Prince Taifu and others came to redress their grievances.Gradually, both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty got the news.

Concubine Ning had an affair with Wang Zheng?

Because of the joint efforts of the two concubines Jia and Chen in the harem, the news was spread in a strict manner.

The courtier who didn't know came over and looked at Situ Yun with sympathy.Others hurriedly cleared the two of them.

They have an affair?Even the Mei family didn't know that the man in the palace would do such a thing at this time according to his conduct.

The ministers were arguing in Zichen Hall, and the more Situ Yun heard it, the more uncomfortable he became.

He didn't know Wei Qian's temper?And Wei Qian is inhumane!Besides, Situ Yun knew everything about Wang Zheng, because it was clearly written in the notes on daily life.

At the beginning, Wei Qian did secretly look for Wang Zheng several times.It was all for Wang Zheng to go north to persuade the Hu people to target the Great Khan.For this reason, Wang Zheng was almost assassinated outside the Great Wall, and he can be said to be the first-class loyal minister of the imperial court.

When the crown prince and Wang Zheng knelt in the hall to make a statement, Situ Yun couldn't sit still.

Wang Zheng's current official residence is Cong Yipin, he is also the cousin of the prince, and he is a great banner in the East Palace.

How could the ministers of the Eastern Palace let him have an accident?

After the prince Taifu asked about the situation, he immediately thought that this matter had something to do with the harem struggle.

"Hmph! Knowing that Concubine Ning has a close relationship with the Eastern Palace, this is to wipe out all the scourges of our Highness!"

In the eyes of Confucianism, the Eastern Palace occupies the position of the legal authority, not to mention that the prince Situ Tao is both a descendant and an elder. This is the future heir of the country.How can these old masters of Confucianism allow outsiders to toss about the East Palace?

The prince's Taifu secretly told the prince to let the prince come forward to complain about his father-son relationship, and without a trace, he threw out the smallpox incident to warn Situ Yun.

Situ Yun knew that there was something wrong with that incident back then, but it involved many people in his heart, so he was unwilling to reveal it again.But for this matter now, this is to take the initiative to wear a green hat made out of nothing!

Situ Yun rushed over to inquire about the crime, and he had already fooled the concubines.

"Your Majesty's trust in Concubine Ning has reached this point?" The concubines felt a chill in their hearts, what is the fuss about?Can a green hat be tolerated?

The queen mother frowned: "Emperor, don't you look at the witnesses and evidence first?"

"What are you looking at? Don't you know the characters of Concubine Ning and Wang Zheng?" Pointing at Wang Jieyu, he cursed: "This bitch attacked the two of them with the intention of breaking the crown prince's wings. Is this to spy on my country? Looking at Jia Yuanchun and Chen Mengyu, their hearts trembled, they lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.

"Your Majesty may as well take a look." Wei Qian stuffed the letter to him, with a strange tone: "Speaking of it, it's your majesty's luck with my concubine's. Back then, your majesty broke my concubine's private seal and didn't care about it."

"Huh?" Situ Yun took the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the date on it.

Shaking the last letter: "The secret letter from a few days ago? I had no intention of breaking Concubine Ning's seal not long ago. Where can Concubine Ning find another seal to seal this time?"

Concubine Ning's seal is broken?

The concubines were surprised, and Concubine Wen patted her chest: "No wonder my sister is so calm, what a coincidence."

It was a "coincidence", no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, Wei Qian's seal was broken, and it was impossible to communicate a few days ago.In other words, someone forged Wei Qian's seal.Well, if the last letter is unbelievable, the previous few letters are also unbelievable.

Find the witness again and ask about the time carefully.

The witnesses were some young eunuchs in the palace, who had some entanglements with Wei Qian.After Wei Qian took charge of Yeting, he followed the empress dowager to implement benevolent policies, reducing the number of eunuchs in the palace and replacing them with female officials.

Invisibly weaken the eunuch's power.

But the eunuchs have been deeply entrenched since the previous dynasty, and several chief executives have a grudge against this empress.Seeing that the second concubine Jia and Chen wanted to plot against Wei Qian, they followed suit to make trouble.

"Since I saw this palace having a tryst with outsiders, report the time and place one by one, and find someone to investigate later." Situ Yun raised his chin, and the guards around him immediately took the eunuch down for interrogation.

Looking around at the concubines again, Situ Yun said in a low voice: "I have been away from the palace for a long time, and when I came back, I saw that the palace was calm and calm, so I don't want to pursue the concubines. But if you really think I am a fool—then, I I'll settle it for you one by one!"

Situ Yun was furious, all the concubines turned pale, and knelt down one by one to plead guilty.

Situ Yun ignored him at all, even the Queen Mother could not interfere, and personally sent someone to extract the palace files to thoroughly investigate what happened during the period of leaving the palace.Even the previous dynasty had a great upheaval.

The ministers were in a hurry, and they couldn't help complaining in their hearts: "These women with long hair but short knowledge, you are honest and intriguing in the harem. Why do you have to intervene in the previous court?"

Immediately, they will go to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors. Wei Qian and Situ Yun's plan is to hold a great sacrifice on that day, and then canonize and reward the ministers and concubines.

Well, it's all over now.In the past year, who has not made mistakes?

In the past, Situ Yun turned a blind eye to it, but now that they are being dealt with one by one, no one can hide from it.

The Zichen Hall was brightly lit, and the courtiers were called to reprimand one by one.

Those who fined silver were fined silver, those who cut their titles were deprived of their titles, and those who were dismissed from office.

Jia Lian suffered an innocent disaster. Because of Yuan Chun's relationship, the Jia family father and son were severely scolded by Situ Yun for picking some mistakes.Jia Lian almost lost his title.

Scared so much that Wang Xifeng hurried into the palace the next day to ask Wei Qian what happened.

"Don't worry, my cousin was scolded, it's a good thing."

"Good thing?"

"Shooting the top bird, everyone else was blamed by His Majesty, and he just hid away, all the ministers look good?" Wei Qian looked it up with a list, and said in his mouth: "It is His Majesty who regards cousin as a direct descendant. A symbolic scolding. Of course, there is indeed the intention of beating, and you should stay away from Fengzao Palace in the future."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng looked startled, looked around, and said in a voiceless voice: "She really is harming you?"

Wei Qian shook her head: "Not only this time, but I'm afraid His Majesty will not let go of the matter in the East Palace earlier." The voice became lower after that, and Wang Xifeng couldn't hear it clearly.

"Sister, you might as well go out of the palace to say hello to Ying'er when you are free. Your Majesty is angry, so don't come to the palace. Fortunately, he is camping outside the city. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, His Majesty will not seek him out."

At present, Situ Yun is catching whoever is spraying whom.He also gave Wei Qian the list of the wives of each family, and asked Wei Qian to reprimand them in front of the wives, holding on to the affairs of each house.

Wei Qian didn't want to be such a villain at first, but Situ Yun showed up in person, so she had no choice but to follow behind to clean up, picking out and rectifying all the violations of etiquette in the city this year.
