Chapter XXVIII
The matter of Jinxi passed quietly, Yun Fenghuang was delayed for a while, and did not immediately retaliate back, Yanfu Palace thought that she was silent, but the attack on the King of Qin became more and more violent, inciting many officials to come to the table, and they were full of righteous indignation, as if they would not give up if they did not cut the King of Qin with a thousand knives.
King Qin was still stable at first, listening to the clouds, curled up in the Qiongjiu Palace and didn't go anywhere, calm and relaxed.
After all, he has been deeply favored by his father and mother since he was a child, and he is used to privileges, not to mention that he has a clear conscience in this incident, even if he really does something to kill a good family, he feels that his father and mother will definitely be willing to be punished.
It's just that in the past few days, the attacks from the outside world have become more and more violent, but the emperor and the concubine have no movement.
No matter how arrogant and domineering King Qin is, he is only a thirteen-year-old boy, and he is a little apprehensive in the face of the excitement of the crowd.
"Your Highness, don't worry, how can Your Majesty and Niangniang be willing to let you suffer? There's no movement these days, maybe it's just remembering who is targeting you. "King Qin thought about whether to go to his mother to find out?
But only then did he have this thought, so he was persuaded left and right, "When the time comes, I can catch them all!" ”
So the king of Qin continued to wait with peace of mind, but he waited left and right, and did not see his father and mother move, but many courtiers, seeing the appearance of the imperial concubine standing still, speculated that either the king of Qin was abandoned, or the emperor also intended to teach this son a lesson, so he followed the trend of impeachment.
Now that the crowd for the impeachment of King Qin is growing.
Even the Qiongjiu Palace began to whisper, suspecting that King Qin's future was bright.
On this day, the Nine Emperor Princes came back from outside and came over to report to him: "Big brother, didn't my father and mother say anything about you?" I'll go out today, and I'll go out in the teahouse and tavern outside, and many places are talking about you, and it's ugly! If it weren't for the fact that the people below were afraid that it would be difficult to clean up the trouble, so they would have stopped me, I would have to clean them up! It's just a cheap woman who has been bought to frame you, and she is like a chaste martyr they say! ”
King Qin was furious when he heard this, and got up on the spot: "I'll ask my mother!" ”
"Big brother, slow down!" The Nine Emperors grabbed him and persuaded him in a low voice, "The mother concubine was still sick two days ago, and these days are getting better, big brother, you will go over now, and you will pay it back for other people's affairs, and for your own affairs, it will be passed out, wouldn't it be just right for the outside to sue you again?" I've heard that some people outside are already questioning your filial piety to your mother, saying that if you are a truly filial son, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, so as not to invite trouble and make your parents worry about it. You said that if you go to find your mother at this time, won't you talk to them ready-made? ”
King Qin wanted to turn to Chun Jia instead.
"It's the same with my father." The Nine Emperor Princes made suggestions, "According to me, the eldest brother might as well go to the palace to ask for guilt!" A few of our younger brothers accompanied you, and said that you heard a lot of attacks from outside, and you were terrified, and you felt that you had caused trouble to your father and mother and concubine, so you asked yourself to cut off the prince and demote him to the common people, so as to calm the resentment of the government and the opposition! Think about it, how could you be willing to do this because of your father's favor for you? ”
The voice was low, "Even if the father is willing, can the mother agree?" The mother concubine didn't agree, and there was a way to make her father take back her fate! ”
"This not only shows that we are sympathetic to our relatives, but also makes my father feel distressed!"
"I've heard that when my father ascended the throne, the Ji family controlled the government and the opposition, so that although my father was the son of heaven, he had to be cautious everywhere. Rao is like this, and the Ji family often spreads all kinds of wrongs about his father outside, so as to continue to prevent his father's pro-government...... At that time, his father didn't have any elders to call the shots for him. ”
"Now that we are going to ask for guilt like this, can my father think of the past, can he not feel distressed?"
"When the time comes, whoever impeaches you, it's up to your father to clean up who!"
"If my father doesn't clean it up, let's go to the mother concubine to cry again, the mother concubine will definitely be distressed!"
"Even if we weren't born to my mother, we grew up with her."
It is natural for the Nine Emperor Princes to gnaw on their mothers, "If the mother concubine doesn't feel sorry for us, who else can she feel sorry for!" ”
King Qin wanted to say that our mother concubine has a son, but thinking about it, the concubine usually has nothing to find fault with herself, and even when she was sick a few days ago, she was still afraid that he would not be close to her, and suddenly felt that it was very appropriate to find this adoptive mother in case of trouble.
If you don't look for it, you will be out of sight.
"Xiao Jiu, you have grown up, and you can give advice to your eldest brother." Thinking of this, King Qin couldn't help but glance at the Nine Emperor Princes and said, "I still think that there is no other way to do this except to find my father, the emperor, and the concubine." ”
The Nine Emperor Princes smiled and said, "Big brother, I won't tell you, I also have selfish intentions. Earlier, my mother chose an envoy for me, and I didn't want to go at all! What do you say I went to do? I'm struggling with my schoolwork, and I still have to go to the household department? What can you learn? However, my father, queen and mother were determined this time and did not listen to my pleas at all. I just thought, when the time comes, I'll go with you, help you talk more, it's better to make my father angry, and then punish me with a grounding or something, I just don't have to go to the household department! ”
King Qin: "......"
He was speechless for a while, and rarely told his younger brother in a serious tone, "Father, Emperor and Mother are all for your good, you ...... It's okay if you're usually lazy, but it's rare to have the kung fu to go to the head of the yamen at this time, why don't you go and take a look? I know you want to marry a capable concubine to do it for you, but the concubine is not yourself, if she is doing things behind your back, you don't know! ”
The Nine Emperors said disapprovingly: "What can Concubine Zheng do behind my back?" At most, subsidize the mother's family. But I don't dare to go too far, otherwise, I can't see in a daze, how shrewd the mother is? Can you still watch me being bullied by the concubine? Moreover, if you have a son-in-law, how many mothers in the world don't put all their minds on their children? When the time comes, she deducts me, and she also subsidizes me and her children. It's not a big deal. My identity is placed here, and if she wants to wronged me, she has to be measured. Otherwise, I can bear it, but I'm afraid that the mother concubine will first think about changing me to a more sensible concubine. ”
"With the eyesight of the mother's concubine, can the concubine I chose be so ignorant?"
"If there really is, then it would be better to change the concubine to the concubine."
"After all, my mother is in one day, what am I afraid of?"
"Whose noble daughter can make waves in the hands of her mother?"
"......" King Qin suddenly had a feeling that although he had cheated his parents this time, he was still reliable compared to the Nine Emperors.
He calmed down and said, "With the current status of the concubine, there are only a lot more things to worry about. We have also grown up, and we must always think of sharing our worries for our mother. ”
But when these words came out of his mouth, he thought of what happened to him, and he felt that it was not convincing, so he hurriedly remedied, "Even if you can't do it for a while, at least you have to have this heart!" ”
"Big brother, you still haven't seen it?" Hearing this, the Nine Emperors were happy, looked at no one on the left and right, approached the eldest brother, and whispered, "A few of us were brought up by our mothers when we landed...... This is because no one tells us about the life experience, and secondly, it is also because the mother concubine treats us as if she were her own, right? ”
Seeing King Qin nodding, he sighed, "But speaking of which, the first to suspect that he was not born to his mother concubine, who are you?" ”
Without waiting for the eldest brother to answer, the Nine Emperor Princes themselves had already given the answer, "It's the fifteenth brother." ”
King Qin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said: "The fifteenth brother did secretly ask me this question when he was a child, but I ...... him as a child."
"The fifteenth brother asked a lot of people at that time, and at first I was messing around with him, but listening carefully to him is not unreasonable." The Nine Emperor Princes said in a low voice, "When we were a few hours, who had more beatings and scoldings than the fifteenth brother?" Of course, I'm not saying that the mother concubine deliberately raised us. After all, the fifteenth brother was really naughty when he was a child, and he was not angry with his mother. But because of this, the mother concubine was afraid that he would study badly, and no matter how busy and tired he was, she would have to take the time to stare at him for a while...... In the past, when we didn't know our life experience, we just left. Now that we know, the mother also knows that we know. You say, is it easy to think about many things nowadays? ”
Seeing that King Qin was thoughtful, the Nine Emperor Princes continued, "Is it because if we become sensible all of a sudden now, I am afraid that the mother concubine may not be happy, and may not fully believe that we are sympathetic to her. ”
"It's better to learn from the fifteenth brother when he was a child, and take a little thing to disturb every once in a while, not only to make the mother really worry, but also to make the mother think that we still treat her as the biological mother, not the best of both worlds?"
"What you say makes sense...... King Qin groaned, and suddenly felt that it didn't seem to be a bad thing for him to be fooled this time.
Although this prince was stupid and didn't see that the trap jumped in, this prince actually comforted his mother!
He was in a much better mood, so he couldn't wait to believe the words of the Nine Emperor Princes, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's go back and call the seventh brother to go to the front court together?" ”
But!
Thinking of the Seventh Prince, King Qin was suspicious of the Nine Emperors' inference, "The Seventh Brother was also a worry-free person when he was a child, but when did the mother concubine ignore him?" ”
"Can he compare to us? His maternal grandfather, Yin Shangshu, has always done things for his mother, can he often mention him to his mother? The Nine Emperor Princes sighed, "And his own aunt is our aunt, and the father can benefit the two brothers, Uncle Wang and Uncle Yongchun Hou, take care of themselves, can you give your aunt extra dignity?" ”
…… Yun Fenghuang finally remembered that there was still a King of Qin waiting for him to help with the aftermath, so he summoned Chen Jing to ask about the ins and outs, and heard that King Qin, the Seventh Prince, and the Ninth Emperor even pulled King Jin, who had not yet gone to Qiongjiu Palace, and knelt outside the meeting.
The king of Qin and the king of Jin, the two princes who had sealed the king in advance, already had the costumes of vassal kings, and they also took off their crown shirts, only wore their middle clothes, knelt down to plead guilty, and kept saying that the king of Qin had listened to the impeachment of the past two days, and he felt ashamed of himself, and asked the emperor to cut off his prince and demote him to a concubine, so as to calm down the people's anger!
Yun Fenghuang: "......"
She thought for a moment and said, "It is impossible for King Qin to have such a brain, go and inquire, who gave him the idea?" ”
If this emperor's eldest son had such means, he wouldn't have stayed in Qiongjiu Palace for the past few days!
Yun Fenghuang has only four sons under her knees, and now all three of them have gone to Qiongjiu Palace, and of course she has ears and eyes in Qiongjiu Palace. Chen Jing went out and gave an order, and quickly summed it up: "His Royal Highness King Qin was still in the Qiongjiu Palace two days ago, and because of the discussion outside, he was quite impetuous, and he wanted to come to find his mother, but he was persuaded left and right. Today is after the Nine Emperor Princes returned from outside......"
“…… This Xiao Jiu is very different from what Bengong thought before. After hearing this, the concubine groaned slightly and said, "You say, does he really want to be lazy, or does he have other ideas?" ”
Chen Jing said cautiously: "The slave maid is dull, but she can't see the thoughts of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes clearly. It's just that in front of me, the slave maid thinks that it is better for His Royal Highness King Qin to go to the palace to ask for guilt than to bother the mother. After all, it is too hard to ask Niangniang to come forward in person for such a pre-dynasty matter. ”
In fact, it's not hard, the main thing is that there are many times this kind of thing, even if Yun Fenglian didn't make a public move, he just told Chunjia in private, but the people outside are not stupid, they don't have credentials, and they also have guesses.
It is so rare that you will feel that the concubine is biased in favor of the heirs and interferes in the government affairs......
This impression is bad, and it is not a good thing for King Jin to seek the position of prince in the future.
After all, Yun Fenghuan, as a noble concubine, does not have an orthodox identity like a queen.
In this case, if you want to suppress the main palace, you can only rely on finding the mistakes of the main palace and showing your ability to surpass the main palace.
What do the courtiers think if they fall into the name of a child who does not care about indiscriminate protection of misconduct and interferes in politics because of this?
"The palace didn't say it would punish them." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and said slowly, "That's it, no matter what, since Xiao Jiu was raised by this palace, his biological mother is long gone. If he is a man with a city, it is not necessarily a bad thing, and let him go. ”
Although the biological King of Jin is good, he is only eight years old, and it is difficult to say in the future.
Being able to have more than one Nine Emperor Princes as insurance is nothing bad for Yun Fenghuang.
Thinking of this, the concubine ordered to stop the original plan, "Since Xiao Jiu plans to solve this matter for King Qin, let's watch first." If the children can't do it, the palace will give them a cover. ”
So Xuanqing Palace stood still and waited to see what happened.
In a few days, there was a small chamberlain who rushed over to pray, the Tao is today's court meeting, although there are also officials who come out to attack the king of Qin, and even forced Chunjia to give the exact date of disposal, but in the end the emperor prevaricated in the past, and the next thing is already being discussed, but at this time, several princes led by the king of Qin went to ask for guilt, and the monarchs and ministers were very surprised, and after a short discussion, it was decided that several princes would go to the palace and say in person.
