Chapter 593: The Attack of Princess Xiang
October 19, Luoyang, the capital of heaven.
As winter deepens, the weather becomes colder and colder, and the howling cold wind sweeps through the streets and alleys.
In a separate courtyard ten miles away from the south of the city, literati and refined scholars were gathering at this time, and famous courtiers from the Qing Dynasty were invited to join in the fun.
"Large-scale" gatherings of officials in private are rare in the current Ming Dynasty, unless it is very necessary under special circumstances.
For example, right now, at the critical moment of "destroying Xiang", these backbones of impeachment have gathered together at this time.
Because the prince was blocking the way, the Donggong family had no choice but to follow and fought back and forth with other officials in the court.
It’s not that the East Palace is very strong, but that most of the officials involved in the impeachment don’t want to hurt the prince, so they can’t use their strength.
To use an inappropriate word to describe this situation, it is called a rat-throwing device.
When the first wave of impeachment turmoil broke out, the prince himself personally came out to appease the ministers, which made these officials who loved him very sad, thinking that he had betrayed his "morality" and was against the right path.
Later, they learned that this matter was forced by the emperor, so they understood the prince's difficulties and regained their confidence and began to fight.
Seeing this situation, Chen Zhi could only say, "Sister, are you worried about your thirteenth brother?"
Since the resurgence of Emperor Zhu Shenzhuo, the imperial power has been strengthened unprecedentedly. The pressure has left all civil and military officials breathless, and "vicious incidents" such as series of impeachments have rarely occurred.
The content of their gatherings and discussions soon reached the ears of the emperor.
Maybe Lao Shisan was instigated by him, so Chen Zhiru thought that he had done so many things in the past few years.
After seeing each other, everyone walked into the back garden of the palace. Everything was ready in a pavilion in the northeast corner.
Picking up the tea cup and handing it to Baochai, Chen Zhi comforted her and said, "The thirteenth brother is deeply loved by his father, the emperor and his mother. Those people can hurt him with just a few words of criticism. You are really worried too much." ”
The main entrance of the palace opened wide, and a sedan was carried in, passing through several gates and arriving at Yin’an Gate.
However, it rarely happens, but it does not mean that it never happens. < /p>
The prince has struggled to get to this point. It is not easy for him. Zhu Xianming will not make it too difficult for him, so this time he will take the initiative.
Now they are gathering together to discuss how to bypass the prince and impeach Zhu Jinghong directly to the emperor.
"Call Li Qingxiang over again"
After hearing the previous instructions, Cheng Ying knew that the emperor wanted the cabinet ministers to suppress him. As for calling Li Qingxiang, a colleague of the Northern Division, it meant Then the emperor was ready to take people to Zhao Prison.
It’s a pity that the emperor himself ignored this at allAs a matter of fact, only the prince was allowed to step out to block the gun, which left the courtiers unable to use their weapons.
"Yes"
Seeing Baochai's performance, Chen Zhi couldn't help but sneer in her heart, secretly thinking that this girl can indeed act.
Compared to Princess Xiang, the inner residence of Prince Rui's Mansion was much more lively, with more than a dozen people ranging from concubines to the princess.
For example, Zhu Jinghong has been characterized as a model of arrogance, tyranny, unfaithfulness, filial piety, and unrighteousness, and his reputation has been completely trampled to the ground by them.
Chen Zhi also knew that this incident was indeed difficult for Prince Xiang's Mansion, but it was an exaggeration to say that a catastrophe was imminent.
"What are you talking about? We are a family and you are talking about it like this."
Even if the courtiers are successfully impeached, I think the emperor will treat them lightly, Zhu Jinghong the most They will be banned or fined, and it is basically impossible to reduce their title.
For example, during the Zhengtong Dynasty, it had happened seven or eight times, and the last time it happened was all related to Zhu Jinghong.
Tomorrow is October 20th. As usual, the Chang Dynasty will be held. These people will attack at the Chang Dynasty. Zhu Xianming must be prepared in advance.
Having said this, Chen Zhi took Baochai's hand and walked inside. As she walked, she introduced the concubines of Prince Rui to Baochai.
While the emperor was discussing with his cabinet ministers, Chen Zhi was welcoming a distinguished guest in Prince Rui's Mansion outside the imperial city.
"Besides, no one is perfect without gold and gold. Who in this world can avoid making some mistakes? The thirteenth brother also made great contributions to the country. Because he made one mistake, he rejected them all. This in itself It doesn’t make sense.”
The Qing courtiers were playing and singing beautifully, and the scholar-bureaucrats were talking loudly, and the atmosphere was particularly lively.
"Now that the DPRK and China are impeaching him more and more, how can I not worry that he never thinks too much about what he does, and now that he has caused such a big disaster, how can I live?"
Your Majesty is too partial to Prince Xiang. Cheng Ying came up with this idea.
As an outsider and someone close to the emperor, Cheng Ying saw all this clearly.
Although they are both Zhu Jingyuan's women, these people are far inferior in status compared to Princess Chen Zhi. After bowing to Baochai, they retreated calmly.
"Come here, I have prepared tea and am waiting to entertain you."
Most of these officials are from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section, so they have the spare time to come. When the so-called mainstay.
You, Prince Xiang’s Mansion, are now so popular that you don’t want to accept any grievance. Do you also want to fight for the crown prince?
Chen Zhi looked at Baochai calmly, did Zhu Jinghong have such thoughts about her? She wasn't sure, but she dared to say that the smart girl in front of her not only had it, but also had the courage to seize the heir.
"Well, it seems I am still too kind." Zhu Xianming couldn't help but sigh.
"I said it's rare for you to come here, sister"
"Yes"
After sitting down, before Chen Zhi could speak, Baochai looked after herself Sighed three times.
"Go and invite three bachelors"
However, after such a long tug of war, the courtiers were not without gains.
In front of Yin'an Palace, Chen Zhi led the women from Prince Rui's Palace to wait. When the sedan landed in front of the palace, she took the initiative to greet it.
What Chen Zhi said was all empty talk. Anyway, she was standing on the sidelines watching the excitement, and followed Zhu Jingyuan's wishes to remotely control the officials attached to the palace to add fuel to the incident.
Of course Baochai knew what this woman was thinking, and then said, "My sister-in-law also thinks this is unfair, but she is willing to consider her flesh and blood relatives and help her brother once."
"Baochai Of course I am willing to help, but I am too willing to help, and my sixth brother is not here either.”
“Sister-in-law, you and I are all close sisters, so don’t be offended if I say something straight to you.”
p>
At this point, Chen Zhi knew that she had to deal with the next words carefully.
"Look at what you said between us sisters, there are things we can't say. If we have words, it's okay to say them," Chen Zhi said quite generously.
"Sixth brother is praised by both the court and the public for his virtue, and the followers of Prince Rui's Mansion are all over the court and the public. If he says that he is more than willing to help but not strong enough, it is really difficult to convince my sister."
Baochai said These words had broken through the dignity of conversation and directly made Chen Zhi put away the fake smile on her face.
"I know that my sister-in-law and my sixth brother are in trouble, but as a sister, I still have no shame and ask my sister-in-law to lend a helping hand. Old Thirteen and my sixth brother are, after all, brothers from the same mother."
< p>Moral kidnapping of others is the most basic method for Baochai, and at this time, he used it on Chen Zhi."Having said that, if my sister-in-law still finds it difficult, I will never force my sister to leave immediately and I will not bother you again in the future."
Having said this, Baochai took advantage of the situation and took the tea cup in her hand. Let go and be ready to leave.
Chen Zhi certainly hopes that Baochai will disappear immediately, but she also knows that she cannot let him go like this.
This girl is a smart person, she must have some agenda for her special trip, and she will definitely take revenge if she comes back this time.
Not to mention anything else, just the news that Prince Rui's residence refused to save him was enough to make them anxious.
Originally, they were not favored by the Queen. If Baochai were to arrange a few lines, the losses to Prince Rui's Palace might be even greater.
Looking at Baochai's decisive look, Chen Zhi knew that the other party had risked everything, and if he didn't help today, he would really become an enemy in the future.
If you can trample Prince Xiang's Mansion to death in one go, then it doesn't matter if you are an enemy. Unfortunately, it is impossible to do this.
"Baochai, you have already talked about this. As a sister-in-law, as long as I have half of humanity, I will never stand idly by"
"No matter how difficult it is, no matter how hard it is, Being the target of public criticism, your sixth brother and I will try our best to help the thirteenth brother."
Passing the teacup back to Baochai's hand again, Chen Zhi said, "The worst thing is, we will also be accused by the courtiers, and we may as well be imprisoned by then. No matter how you cut off your rank, our families will advance and retreat together."
These are all scenes.She didn't say a word about how to help Chen Zhi specifically, and she would never take action unless absolutely necessary.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to help too much. If the chief historian of your palace can write a memorial and say a few words to defend us, we will be grateful to you whether it succeeds or not."
Prince's Palace The long historian's memorial was almost equivalent to Zhu Jingyuan's own statement. It was obviously a very formal and serious matter, but Baochai said it lightly.
Hearing these words, Chen Zhi felt extremely unhappy, but for a while he couldn't refuse directly.
"I have to plan this matter carefully. Don't worry. It's unfortunate that the chief historian of the house has been ill for the past two days. I don't know if he is qualified for this matter."
Chen Zhi finally made up these words, but Baochai didn't give her a chance at all, and immediately said, "Even if he is sick, just let someone else write it. He can only say a few fair words, no need to be too flowery." "
"Yes, that makes sense. Come on, don't just talk. Let's drink tea," Chen Zhi said with a smile.
Next, the two of them continued to make excuses. Finally, under Baochai's pressure, Chen Zhi could only hold her nose and agree to help.
She had no choice but to establish a virtuous and benevolent memorial arch in Prince Rui's palace, and she had to suffer the moral kidnapping of Baochai.
The delay reached noon, and Baochai thanked Chen Zhi profusely at the luncheon, and finally decided to praise King Rui for caring for his brother.
This move made it impossible for Chen Zhi to keep a low profile and not really help.
After the banquet, Baochai returned to the palace by car. On the way, she received new news and learned that something big would happen at the court meeting tomorrow.
"Is the house ready?" Baochai Yun asked lightly.
"I'll report back to you, I'm ready. I've also sent people to Jia's house in the morning. They will definitely arrive at the house at noon."
Whether he likes it or not, the East Palace has always been on behalf of Prince Xiang's house. Despite the impeachment, Baochai was very grateful to Yuanchun recently.
Under "Love the House and the Crow", in order to show her closeness to the East Palace family, Baochai posted a message to the Jia family yesterday, asking her family members to come to Prince Xiang's Mansion to appreciate the plum blossoms.
Of course, in addition to the Jia family, Baochai also invited some other noble ladies. In the afternoon, she had to show some strength to Prince Rui's house in public.
"What time is it now?"
"Two quarters past noon"
"So, they should all be here," Baochai said calmly.
I just stayed in Prince Rui’s Mansion for a while longer, that’s why I delayed until now.
In Prince Xiang's Mansion, in the east side hall of Tongxin Hall, a group of ladies were chatting animatedly, but the Jia family and Wang Xing seemed out of place.
As for the three people in Yingchun, they could only stand around, each of them thinking about different things.
In fact, Mrs. Wang is not willing to come. Even though Princess Xiang is her niece, she always feels that she is very different from this girl.
Mrs. Wang also has some knowledge of the recent political situation.She heard that the courtiers were criticizing King Xiang in large numbers, and she was actually secretly happy in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the prince's resistance to the officials made it difficult for the courtiers to attack him, which greatly disappointed her.
"Madam, the palace's selection attendant is about to give birth. I had a very pleasant conversation with her before and wanted to take this opportunity to see her," Tan Chun suggested.
Mrs. Wang nodded and replied, "Well, I have to wait for the princess. If I can't go, you can greet her for us."
"Mrs., let me go too." Yingchun Then speak.
She didn’t have much idea, she just thought it was boring here, so she wanted to go out and walk around.
Mrs. Wang replied, "You all can go."
Mrs.
The latter is the biological mother of the Crown Princess and the biological aunt of Princess Xiang, while Mrs. Xing is nothing.
When Tanchun and the other three left the side hall, they asked the maid on duty to lead the way towards the garden where Yinglian was.
The three of them were regular visitors to the palace, so the maid who led the way knew them, and they were chatting and laughing along the way.
Tanchun was thinking about how to talk to Yinglian, but Yingchun was in a state of thinking about people when he saw things, and he kept thinking about the person thousands of miles away.
After not seeing each other for nearly a year, Yingchun inevitably felt longing for her. When she suppressed this ridiculous thought, she realized that she had fallen in love with Prince Xiang.
On weekdays, she always avoids the difficulties in reality, but the love in her heart cannot be escaped, because it really exists, and she can feel it all the time.
"When will you return to Beijing, Thirteenth Master?" Yingchun said secretly in his heart.
In the past, she could use Taoist scriptures to calm her mood, but now these things have no effect at all, so she feels particularly depressed.
Fortunately, she looks dull on weekdays, but no one notices anything strange about her
Yinglian lives in Lanyue Garden, and she lives here with Zhen Qin. Now that the latter is gone, she lives alone.
Because she is pregnant with Zhu Jinghong's flesh and blood, the people serving in Lanyue Garden are all high-end, and there are more than thirty maids and eunuchs.
On weekdays, the sisters from the palace came to see her, so that Yinglian would not be lonely and bored, but she was particularly happy when she saw Tanchun and the others.
After inviting everyone to sit down, Yinglian asked about things outside, and eventually they talked about poetry and songs.
Previously, Yinglian became a disciple of Baochai, which was no joke. She really learned a lot, and she continued to improve herself, and now she is also very accomplished in poetry.
When we talked about topics that we were good at, the atmosphere was even more harmonious and joyful, and time went much faster in the process.
Soon someone came outside to remind him that the princess had returned to the mansion.
Since Tanchun and the others were summoned, they naturally rushed to greet them, so they could only say goodbye to Yinglian and leave.go. Please remember to collect it. The website is the latest and fastest without anti-theft. To find books and add books for free, you can join the qq group 952868558
