The next day in the temple, the imperial historian Ouyang Yanran took the lead in the war, and counted the 25 major crimes of the Ji family, including but not limited to murdering the imperial court officials, assassinating the captain of the Northern Military Academy, coercing good families, falsely accusing the good, perverting the law for bribes, and seizing power and disrupting the government...... From the Duke of Ye to the younger generations of the Ji family, they were all impeached!

And the Ji clan was not to be outdone, collected a bunch of black material from Ouyang Yanran's side, and in turn impeached almost the entire royalist faction!

After such a play, the two sides can be said to have completely torn their faces, you come and go, verbal battles, tension in the court, and the atmosphere is tense.

Chunjia was still able to sit on the throne of the emperor at first, but later, as the situation became more and more intense, he had to personally go down to help pull the bias - this day's court meeting was later than usual, and it was almost past the meal, but there was no result in the end, because everyone was really on fire when they were torn and torn, and the old accounts of Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains were turned over, and they patronized to vent their grievances, but they digressed.

So Chun Jia's face was not very good-looking when he went down to the court, and he tried to correct the topic many times, but over the years, the Ji family has suppressed the royalists, such as Ouyang Yanran, an old minister who has been cheated by them for many years and has fallen into the family's reputation, and the resentment in his heart can be imagined!

Usually it's okay, but now on this occasion of pinching out real anger, it's not very controllable.

Of course, in Chunjia's opinion, this is because his prestige cannot completely suppress such a courtier.

Otherwise, with the reign of the Divine Sect, what grievances have the people under them suffered, dare not look at the face of the Son of Heaven first?

He silently told himself in his heart not to worry, after all, he had only been in power for many years, but he thought that Ji would not discuss with him the length of time he had been in power and whether he would win or not.

Slowly exhaled, Chun Jia had a few mouthfuls of lunch at will, and ordered someone to go to the front to invite Ouyang Yanran and other old ministers to the Taichu Palace to discuss countermeasures.

After some communication between the monarch and the ministers, it was much safer to meet the court again, and this time the royalists gave up their approach to the entire Ji clan and instead focused on attacking the Marquis of Minyang.

Originally, all kinds of evidence submitted by Chao Jingyu when he filed a complaint could only prove that it was related to the Ji family, but it had nothing to do with a certain important child of the Ji family, and it was also recorded on the head of the Marquis of Minyang - after a tug-of-war for half a day, the Marquis of Minyang was stripped of his marquis, dismissed from all positions, and his family was exiled to southern Xinjiang.

To get this result, the regent has made a great effort.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Chunjia left this cheap uncle down to cultivate his feelings, and discussed how to make persistent efforts to solve the problems of Ye Guogong Hai Xihou and these people.

The regent reminded him: "Your Majesty, the matter of the royal tomb has been delayed for a long time, even if there is a reason to comfort the imperial brother, I am afraid that it will not be able to go on like this forever." The selection of the heir, the aftermath, Your Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"I was about to talk to Uncle Huang about this." Chunjia personally made him a cup of tea, and Wen Yan said, "I am young and practiced, and the line of King Fuyang is thin, and I don't know much about it among the old clansmen. But I don't know what Uncle Huang thinks, who is suitable to succeed the king of Fuyang? ”

The regent introduced him to several candidates,

They are all relatives of distant branches, and some of them don't even have titles on their bodies, and they are no different from ordinary rich families. There are people of all ages, from those who babble to those who are full of children and grandchildren...... The regent said: "The change in the royal tomb is inseparable from the Ji family, and I ask Your Majesty to be cautious about the selection of people, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Ji family." ”

Chunjia nodded noncommittally, said some common words to him, sent the person away, and drove the Huanhua Palace.

Yun Fenghuang was looking forward to it, and when he saw him walk in with a relaxed expression, he guessed that the result of today's was probably not very happy, after all, the Ji family and the three lords were only dealing with the weakest Minyang Marquis now.

This is still a calculation that has been planned since years ago, and it is easy to catch the Ji family off guard!

After this time, how could the Ji clan not learn a lesson?

I'm afraid that there will not be such an easy chance to turn against each other in the future.

She actually sighed, but her face was not obvious, she welcomed Chunjia and sat down, handed over the tea, and talked gently and casually for a while.

Chunjia then waved back and discussed with her about the heirs of the Fuyang Wang's lineage: "The regent's recommendations are all the down-and-out children of the distant branches, and I think about it, the Fuyang King's lineage is already thin, and these children are afraid that it will be difficult for them to support the court." ”

One of the advantages of this kind of out-of-the-box child is that it is easy to control, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, it generally can't help Chunjia or anything.

Although it is said that after Chunjia succeeded Xiaozong, the relationship with the king of Fuyang became a distant relative.

But the law is not human, he is the son of heaven who went out in the line of King Fuyang, how can he not have feelings for the line of King Fuyang? Moreover, the wives and concubines of the two Fuyang Duanwangs, Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu, are still being honored by Chunjia as her mother in the palace.

Therefore, the heir of the line of King Fuyang can be said to be naturally with him.

Yun Fenghuang speculated that Chunjia said this, just wanting a disciple from a better background to inherit the lineage of King Fuyang, she thought about it, and said, "What Your Majesty said is very true. As the so-called cangli knows etiquette, the children of the distant branches are afraid that their hearts have been lost, and their words and deeds will inevitably be small, and if they are the heirs of the king of Fuyang, they are afraid that it is inappropriate. Why don't you choose from the knees of the vassal kings? ”

When she said this, she quickly calculated the vassal king of the lower dynasty.

The rule of the dynasty is that the prince has fifteen kings, and if he is not established as the East Palace, then he must go out to become a vassal, and he will not be allowed to return to the imperial capital without an edict.

At the time when the Ding was just set, because Taizu and Taizong were all prosperous heirs, there were still many vassal kings.

However, after the Shenzong ascended to the throne, there was a liquidation, and the Gongxiang clan withered from then on.

The vassal kings who are still in place at this time are all passed down by the heirs of Taizu Taizong, and they happen not to be involved in the matter, so they can survive to this day.

According to Yun Fenghuang's understanding, among them, the most prosperous heirs and thriving vassal kings who will operate their fiefs include the kings of Zhou, Han and Mao; The kings of the county include the king of Ninghe and the king of Changle.

These five are the most existential among the princes of the Gongxiang clan, when Xiaozong died before the emperor's brother failed, and wanted to succeed Gongxiangxiao as the heir, after being stopped by the Ji family, they also seemed to be a little impatient...... However, the Ji family was afraid that they were outnumbered, so they were finally chosen

chose the line of the orphaned and widowed King of Fuyang.

Now Chunjia wants to choose his children from among them as the heirs of King Fuyang, but he takes a fancy to their large number of people and wants to encircle them to fight against the Ji family and the regent.

It's just that judging from the regent's statement, he doesn't want Chunjia to choose an heir for the King of Fuyang from among these vassal kings.

"The face of the regent is always given, but the heir of the Fuyang king's lineage is not trivial...... Chunjia is so embarrassed, he can't turn his face with the regent at present, and even has to find a way to strengthen cooperation, so as not to fall short and be escaped by the Ji family.

The problem is that if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a more suitable reason to encircle the powerful vassal king.

Yun Fenghuang suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you let out the rumors, and those who wish to take the bait?" ”

Even if it is a prince, it can only be passed on to one son.

There are many heirs, and if you can get a county prince for nothing, or a county prince who will definitely be taken care of by the Son of Heaven, no one is unwilling.

In this way, it is a fight, and how can those distant branches who have fallen out of their way compete for the sons and daughters of the clan with the support of the vassal king?

Not to mention that after doing so, anyone who stands in the way of them is in jeopardy for the future of these people...... When the time comes, the regent will stop him, and he will inevitably have a conflict with these vassal kings.

So even if things don't work out, Chunjia also has the possibility of bringing people over, right?

"What Concubine Ai said is extremely true." Chunjia pondered for a while, bowed his head slightly, and saw Yun Fenghuang's eyes roll, and said: "It's just that the concubine body is shallow after all, otherwise, let's talk to Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui about this matter and listen to their opinions?" ”

She took the initiative to mention this, and the emperor couldn't help but persuade her not to think about it: "I have never heard of the matter of the colored paper, how can I blame the concubine?" ”

But was coaxed by Yun Fenghuan's soft words, and finally agreed, before doing this, I would still talk to the two concubines from famous families.

Yun Fenghuang saw that he could listen to it, so he sighed in his heart, knowing that Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fushu were relied on and could not be stopped.

She reassured herself that it wasn't a bad thing either.

Because I had planned before, I had to restrain my edge appropriately, so as not to be considered too capable and powerful by Chunjia, and I didn't need care and pity.

Now that Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fuxu rely on their family background to be valued by the emperor, then she can also do the opposite and win the emperor's favor.

…… Well, but in the end I feel uncomfortable.

She quietly talked with the emperor for a while, and seeing that Chenguang had arrived at dinner and was about to order someone to prepare, Chunjia suddenly remembered and said, "Ai Fei, that Chao Shiyan wants to see you." ”

Yun Fenghuang was shocked in his heart, and frowned: "What does she want to do when she wants to see the concubine?" The concubine herself doesn't have a good relationship with her. ”

When she said this, she thought quickly in her heart, since Chunjia had laid out so early, the bad relationship between herself and Chao Jingyou would definitely not be able to hide it.

If you refuse to do so, it seems to make sense.

But the question is, Chao Jingyou is now Qi Jiulu's wife, and if she refuses like this, will it seem that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?

But he promised to summon her,

Will Chun Jia be suspicious, he is worried about Qi Jiulu and wants to take advantage of the situation to inquire from other people's wives?

It seems that the choice is not safe enough.

Yun Fenghuang bit his lip and glanced up at Chunjia: "Your Majesty, the dignified son of heaven, actually personally passed the message to this people's woman?" ”

Chunjia calmly looked at her and posed as if she wanted to fight a rake, and said: "It's just that the Imperial City Division remembered that she and you are Sang Zi after all, and this time the Ji family's conspiracy was exposed in public, and it always returned you and the Xie family's innocence, thinking that you might be summoned out of the ordinary, so I helped report it." ”

“…… Then, the concubine will see her. Yun Fenghuang really wanted to see Chao Jing's quiet side and ask clearly, at this moment, the emperor said this, she quickly thought about it, and followed the words, "Although this is all Your Majesty's clever calculation, it can also be regarded as her hard work." ”

Because Chao Jingyou had been injured before, although she agreed, she had to wait a few more days until Chao Jingyou recovered from her injuries in the Imperial City Division before she could come.

Yun Fenghuang then put aside the matter and talked to Chunjia about the descent of the three princesses.
