sick princess

Soon, news came out from nowhere in Beijing, saying that the emperor had no virtue, and God would issue an earthquake warning at the beginning of his ascension to the throne.There are also the military disasters of Beirong and Yunnan.Although the two battles against Beirong and Yunnan were won, it cannot conceal the fact that the emperor will not be recognized by God.

Such arguments are not new.Not long after the earthquake happened, the capital was full of rumors released by people with serious intentions.

Although Emperor Yongjia reacted quickly and quickly caught the source of the rumors, the few people who were caught were obviously just scapegoats, and they didn't even know who was instigating them behind the scenes.At that time, rumors had already spread throughout the capital, and Emperor Yongjia could arrest those who spread rumors, but he could not stop the mouths of the people in the capital.

In the eyes of everyone, the earthquake is an ominous omen, a warning from God.In many cases, the king wants to issue his own edict.

At that time, many ministers in the court were divided into two factions. One faction suggested that Emperor Yongjia should issue an edict to punish himself for the sake of common people.

Emperor Yongjia also knew in his heart that those ministers who urged him to commit crimes had no good intentions.He has just ascended the throne, and has not yet established enough prestige, nor has he won enough right to speak.If he really issued an edict of guilt and admitted that he had lost his morals, I'm afraid that these ministers would hold on to this point, and they would restrict him more and more in the court in the future.

Furthermore, Emperor Yongjia himself did not think that such natural disasters were directly related to whether the emperor lost his morality.

The Zhongzong of the former dynasty had repeatedly acted foolishly. However, when he was in power, the country was in good times. Except for the disturbance from time to time by foreigners, the court did not encounter any real threats.The last emperor of the previous dynasty was a hard-working emperor, but it was a pity that the strength of the previous dynasty had been exhausted due to the weakness of several generations. At the same time, the Yellow River burst its embankment, drowning many people and flooding a lot of fertile land, causing the people to live in dire straits. Although the emperor at the end of the dynasty issued an edict of sin against himself, it could not appease public grievances.

This dynasty - Tai-zu - took advantage of the situation and rose at that time.

Tai-zu often taught his descendants that they must believe in things like fate, but they must not believe everything.Although he himself did not believe in Buddhism or belief, he supported the development of these two families in the Great Xia Dynasty.

As a descendant of Tai-zu-emperor, Emperor Yongjia obviously inherited Tai-zu's concept in this respect.Therefore, at that time, he withstood the pressure and did not issue his own edict, but instead led everyone to focus on the frontline warfare.Later, Empress Dowager Xu, Princess Changshou, and Empress Fu took the lead in disaster relief. The people in Beijing were all grateful for the kindness of these three nobles, so why would they worry about whether Emperor Yongjia would not punish himself?

To put it bluntly, whether Emperor Yongjia can improve their lives and help them when they are most critical is the most important thing to them.The thing about guilt edicts is over after listening to it, and what is assigned to them is the real deal.

Emperor Yongjia frowned when he learned that some people began to repeat the same old tune.

The person beside him observed his words and said: "Your Majesty, do you want your subordinates to send people to arrest all those talking nonsense?"

"No need. If you go to arrest, it's just to arrest a few young people, it won't help at all." Emperor Yongjia's brows and eyes were a little cold: "Some people want to make things difficult for me, let them go."

Anyway, he has a rough idea of ​​who is making trouble.When he finds an opportunity, he will naturally let these people understand who is in charge of the current court.

What people didn't expect was that this rumor that should have been suppressed soon actually intensified.And there is a new rumor, following this rumor.There are new rumors that the reason why the emperor lost his morality is that there are disaster stars around him.Some people vainly tried to use the body of a woman to influence the will of the emperor, so as to achieve the goal of bringing chaos to the court and making the rooster rule the morning.

As soon as this remark came out, there was a turmoil in the court.Without him, the directionality of the rumors is too obvious.

Today, there are not many women around Emperor Yongjia, and there are only a handful of important women, but there are only three of them, his biological mother, Empress Dowager Xu, his sister-in-law Baoluo, and his wife, Empress Fu.As for the few low-ranking concubines in his harem, they were either gifted by the former emperor or the abolished empress dowager. These few concubines had never held much weight in Emperor Yongjia's heart. Since Emperor Yongjia ascended the throne, he had never been to their palace at all.

Among these three important women, Empress Dowager Xu is notoriously quiet, Empress Fu is not liked by Emperor Yongjia, and her daily style is to ignore everything, the only possibility is to use her influence on Emperor Yongjia The only one who interferes with the government is the Longevity Princess.

I heard that Princess Longevity was Zaohui. During the period of the first emperor, she advised her mother and brother many times, and finally solved the threat brought by several demon concubines, and helped Jinshang ascend to the throne of God.

The battle in the harem is naturally not something that the ministers of the court can talk about, but if the long-lived princess is restless in her room and tries to extend her hand to the front court after dominating the harem, then the ministers will not be happy.

Many ministers spoke to Emperor Yongjia about the situation, stating the disadvantages of the eldest princess's interference in politics, and some impatient civil servants even directly read the book of Longevity and Longevity Princess.

Now, Emperor Yongjia was completely offended.It is okay to say that he is not good, but it is absolutely intolerable to say that his sister is not good.A girl's reputation is inherently more precious, and Emperor Yongjia knew in his heart that Baoluo didn't like to plan these things all day long. She supported her sick body, thought hard for herself, and made suggestions, all for the sake of his elder brother.

If he can't protect Baoluo this time, he will be a brother in vain!

"Zhang Yushi, come out. I see, your brochure says that you have to guard against the lessons learned from the princess in the previous dynasty?"

"That's right." As soon as this topic came up, Zhang Yushi immediately came to his senses: "The previous dynasty gave the princess great power, but it also fueled the princess's ambition. Taizong died young, because of his mother Her younger sister, the eldest princess, was very talented. Before she died, she named the eldest princess as the eldest princess of Zhenguo, and took care of her youngest son. Unfortunately, Emperor Gaozong and the crown queen, Princess Zhenguo did not want to return to Emperor Gaozong. The princess of the country's husband's family, the British government, has military power, which eventually led to military disaster..."

From Zhang Yushi's point of view, Princess Changshou is quite similar to Princess Zhenguo, the younger sister of Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty. Haven't married into An Guogong's mansion yet, but who in the court doesn't know the weight of the Lan family father and son among generals?If the Longevity Princess has any second thoughts in the future, it will definitely be another catastrophe!

Women should take good care of the flowers and plants in the house, or be some female celebrities, and don't meddle in outside things when they have nothing to do all day long.

Emperor Yongjia looked at Zhang Yushi with cold eyes: "I ask you, where were you when Princess Longevity took the lead in disaster relief? Where were you when Princess Longevity offered advice for our army to defeat the enemy? Where were you when the country suffered a disaster and fell ill in bed?"

Zhang Yushi opened his mouth: "Chen..."

"You said that Princess Longevity got involved in these things, and she would have cholera, but if Princess Longevity wasn't there, my Great Xia would definitely not be where I am today! Princess Longevity is a hero of my Great Xia, yet you slander her like this. In my opinion, you don’t have to do this as a censor.”

Emperor Yongjia didn't give Zhang Yushi another chance to speak, and directly dismissed him as an official.

Chen Yushi on the side couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate. The Emperor Taizu left-education that officials should not be convicted of speech..."

"So, do you agree with Zhang Yushi's words? Do you also want to be disrespectful to the eldest princess? In this case, you should be a companion with Chen Yushi." Emperor Yongjia said decisively: "It is true that the speaker is not guilty of speech, That's why I let you go. Otherwise, according to your crime of disrespect to the Longevity Princess, I would kill you directly, which is justified. But now, I just dismissed the two officials who were dead and vegetarian. .”

Emperor Yongjia dismissed two censors one after another, everyone saw his determination to protect the long-lived princess, and finally said nothing more.

In fact, in their hearts, they also believed in Baoluo's disaster relief for the country.It is indeed a little inappropriate to criticize a person who has made great contributions to the country, or Her Royal Highness the Princess.

In the court hall, Emperor Yongjia calmed down the matter with vigorous and decisive means, and outside the palace, Lan Chengyu also took action.

Under the guidance of Lan Chengyu, the people who have been favored by Baoluo are particularly disgusted with those who slander Baoluo.

I don't know how Lan Chengyu did it, these common people wholeheartedly believed that the person who spread the rumors was the heir of the Duke of Qin's mansion, so recently, people went to the gate of the Duke of Qin's mansion every day to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.These people ran away when they smashed it, and four or five people ran in different directions at the same time. Therefore, even the guards of Duke Qin's mansion could hardly catch them.

This time, Qin Shizi went out unprepared and was smashed straight.

"These rascals!" The servant wiped off the egg yolk juice from Qin Shizi's face, and said: "My lord, why don't you transfer some of your general's soldiers over here, whoever dares to be so rude will send them away!" Catch them all!"

Qin Shizi shook his head: "Soldiers in the army can't be used in this kind of place, at least they can't be used to deal with the common people. Otherwise, tomorrow the censor will participate in my private use of public weapons, bullying others, and exploiting the common people."

"These people act like they have lost their minds. They insist that we are framing their bodhisattva-hearted eldest princess, and they want to come to seek justice for the eldest princess. I really don't know what it means!"

His family knew his own affairs, and as the personal servant of the Duke of Qin's mansion, he naturally knew whether his master had done these things.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shizi shook his head: "Although I didn't do this, it was done by a woman who has something to do with me. I'm afraid Lan Chengyu also knew that she did it, but it's not easy to directly If you do something to her, you will bring trouble to me, and it will be regarded as a warning to us."

The servant was able to follow Qin Shizi, so he was naturally a smart person. After a little thought, he understood: "Princess Pingning did this? But what good does it do for her?"

"Some idiots like to do things that harm others and benefit themselves." Qin Shizi snorted coldly.He was forced to make a marriage contract with Princess Pingning, and he was quite displeased with Princess Pingning, but now, his feelings towards Princess Pingning are even worse.
