Fu Jingene followed An Shilang and the others and entered Beijing before the city gate closed.

He went home first, but when he heard the porter say that Qing Shu was not at home, he didn't even enter the door and turned around and went to the East Palace. Anyway, it's not interesting for the daughter-in-law to go home when she doesn't go home, so it's better to report the trip to the grandson first.

told the grandson in detail what he saw and heard along the way: "Many officials used the name of fundraising to force local wealthy families and some people with good conditions to donate money and materials. But most of the rice porridge that was given to the people could not be eaten at all, and I had to have diarrhea even if I endured nausea and ate it. ”

said that it was a fundraiser, but in fact, it was equivalent to a robbery. Of course, there are also some officials who are honest and honest, and use the money raised to buy food and distribute it to the people. He told the few people he knew to his grandson.

After finishing speaking, Fu Jingene said with a heavy face: "Taisun, the local officials are so corrupt that they can't be seen. If it is not rectified, the foundation of the imperial court will be unstable. ”

This is not alarmist, all dynasties and dynasties have been because the corruption of officials is too strong to force the people to live, and they have risen up.

Although Taisun knew that corruption was rampant in the local area, he did not know that it had collapsed to this point. He was silent for a long time and then said, "Write down these people first, and then deal with them in the future." ”

He reminded the emperor on the side, but unfortunately the emperor didn't listen. It is impossible for him to dispose of these corrupt officials in vain against the emperor's wishes, otherwise his position will not be guaranteed.

Fu Jingene asked: "Taisun, I heard that the emperor now favors a Taoist priest, and this Taoist priest was sent by the king of Xin?" ”

Taisun snorted and said, "Yes, the emperor's grandfather has recently improved after eating the pill he refined, and I can't persuade him more." ”

If you persuade him too much, it will not be good for the emperor to suspect him.

After so many years in the mountains, Taisun knew very well that the so-called panacea was coaxing. The reason why the successive Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain have lived a long life is because they have always paid attention to their self-cultivation. As for the elixirs that are refined, they are all used to cure diseases, not to prolong life.

"King Xin is your uncle, and you can't do it if you want to get rid of him, so this matter is still up to the emperor."

The grandson shook his head and said: "The imperial grandfather trusts him the most, and he has done many illegal things over the years, but the imperial grandfather has always turned a blind eye. ”

"That's because the emperor has always thought that there is no heir in the palace, so he relies on him so much. If you know that King Xin obviously has a grandson but is still hiding, what do you think the emperor will think? ”

As far as the emperor's suspicious nature is concerned, he must suspect that King Xin has ulterior motives or even wants to usurp the throne. At that time, the emperor will not be soft on the king of letters.

Taisun knew that he was never untargeted, and said: "If you have anything, just say it." ”

Fu Jingene snorted and said: "The prince of the king of Xin has a son, and that child is raised in the Zhuangzi of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion. ”

Taisun paused, and said with a look of disbelief: "What you said is true? ”

Seeing Fu Jingene nodding, Taisun asked eagerly, "Jingene, this is not a trivial matter. How did you know this? And who is the mother of that child? ”

Fu Jingene said in a deep voice: "It's also a coincidence, the child's biological mother is Xu Qingzhi, the ninth girl of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion. This Xu Qingzhi was married to Qingshu's stepbrother Shen Zhanding, but later Xu Qingzhi suddenly fell seriously ill and the Xiangyang Houfu withdrew on the grounds that she was bewitched by Shen Zhan. At that time, Qingshu was very puzzled when he talked to me about this matter, and the family of the general woman who lost her virginity before marriage wished to marry her out early, and I didn't understand why the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion did the opposite. ”

"You mean, this Xu Qingzhi is no longer innocent before she married Shen Zhan?"

Seeing Fu Jingene nodding, Taisun asked in surprise, "How did your daughter-in-law see it?" ”

Fu Jingene coughed and said: "Please invite an old grandmother of the British princess, it is said that this old lady has very vicious eyes, and she can determine whether she is a yellow flower girl by her words and deeds." ”

"And then?"

Fu Jingene said: "Taisun, you also know that I have a group of people under my hands. As soon as I heard Qingshu say this, I asked Lao Shi to investigate the matter, and then found that Xu Qingzhi was not seriously ill at all, but pregnant. This pregnancy is naturally good. ”

Taisun said puzzledly: "This doesn't make sense! If Xu Qingzhi was a woman from Yun Changling, she would have been accepted into the Xinwang Mansion long ago, even if she had a marriage contract, she would have an heir who was bigger than the sky. ”

Fu Jingene shook his head and said: "Xu Qingzhi's good friend is not the prince of Xinwang, but the cousin of the prince, He Pengyi. It's just that He Pengyi's family has Hedong Lion's Roar and it is impossible to marry her, so the two meet secretly on weekdays. On that day, Xu Qingzhi went to the palace to attend the wedding banquet, and it is estimated that she also made an appointment for a private meeting in the palace. I didn't know what happened that day, Xu Qingzhi let Yun Changling sleep. Xu Qingzhi is not innocent, and it is impossible for Yun Changling to include her in the palace. ”

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "I guess Xu Qingzhi deliberately said that this child was the son of the king when she found out that she was pregnant in order to survive. The people of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion should have discovered his relationship with He Pengyi earlier, so they gave her to Shen Zhan. When they knew that the father of the child in her womb was likely to be the prince of Xinwang, they hurriedly withdrew. Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain the actions of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion at that time. ”

This story is really twists and turns, and you can write a book.

Taisun asked, "Then how do you know that this child is not He Pengyi, but Yun Changling?" ”

In fact, in addition to a daughter, the prince of the king of faith also had two concubines who were pregnant, but they were not saved. It is rumored that he was framed and aborted, but the grandson knew that even if he was not framed, the child would not be born. As for the reason, the imperial doctor said that it was born with a lack of Yuanyang.

"In the third year of the child's birth, an elderly woman came to the Zhuangzi. When the old woman saw the child, she hugged the child excitedly and said that it was too similar, too similar, and said that the Bodhisattva blessed God with mercy. It took me a lot of effort to find out that this old woman was Princess Xin's henchman, and she grew up watching King Xin's son grow up. But the maid was released early, and no one could see it. ”

Taisun said suspiciously, "How do you know so clearly?" ”

Fu Jingene explained: "Lao Shi bought off two people on the Zhuangzi at that time and let them keep an eye on the child. Coincidentally, the youngest daughter of one of them was transferred to serve the child's nurse. ”

It's a coincidence.

Taisun hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" ”

Fu Jingene shook his head and said, "The old woman left not long after seeing the child. After that, the people who believed in the Wangfu never appeared on the Xu family's Zhuangzi again. But after that day, the nurse next to the child changed, and there were two more maids to serve, and the food and clothing were also very fine. ”

Taisun understood and said, "No wonder we can't find it no matter how we check it, I see." ”

The people who believed in the king's mansion had never come into contact with this child, so where did they start to find out? Fu Jingene was able to find out because of good luck, but it was impossible to know about it if there was a mistake in the middle.

"Is that kid really similar to Yun Changling?"

Fu Jingene shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of startling the snake, and I haven't seen that child." However, the old woman only asked the old woman to confirm the identity of the child, which shows that the child's appearance is very similar to that of him when he was a child. ”

A smile appeared on Taisun's face: "If this matter is true, you should be credited with a great credit." ”
