Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 1152
"Well, you can see clearly that the late emperor has been supporting the Yongkang Marquis Mansion for so many years." Prime Minister Zuo nodded.

"But now it's good. The cause of the past has caused the later behavior and evolved into today's result. No, the two princes have taken advantage of me." Yongkanghou begged the left minister, "Master, please Give me a good idea, save me."

"You really want me to show you how to do it?" Prime Minister Zuo looked at him.

Yongkanghou nodded, "I dare not touch the new emperor's brow at this time, the new emperor is not the first emperor, and the Yongkanghou's mansion has never been liked by him."

Prime Minister Zuo approached him, "You and I have been officials in the same dynasty for many years. Although you did not join the prince's camp earlier, you have never joined the two concubines' camp. There is no embarrassment for the new emperor these years. What's more, although Fan Yang Lu I've been holding back, but I'm from the Fanyang Lu family. Although my niece Xueyan failed to marry your boy, we still have friendship. Let me show you the way."

"Thank you very much." Yongkang Hou was overjoyed and thanked again and again.

"Don't thank me too early." Marquis Yongkang approached him and whispered in a low voice, "Your little princess and Miss Fanghua are very affectionate, and your wife was also saved by Miss Fanghua's medical skills. Miss Fanghua and Miss Fanghua The crown prince went back to Beijing together and lived in the palace all the time. The former emperor was buried and shared the jade chariot. I don’t need to tell you about her position in our new emperor’s heart, you should understand, right?”

Marquis Yongkang was taken aback, "You mean to ask me to beg..."

Prime Minister Zuo nodded, "If you really want to save the two princes, this is the only way. If Miss Fanghua agrees, the Emperor will definitely agree."

"Where do I really want to save those two people, but it's just because I have no choice but to not want them to talk nonsense?" Yongkang Hou said helplessly, "If the things from that year were found out at this time, what good would it do me? I also want to enjoy my old age in peace.”

"Whether you want to be saved or not, if you want to keep yourself, you should go to her." Zuo Xiang said.

Yongkanghou nodded, "You're right, I'm going to find Miss Fanghua." After saying that, he turned around and left. After taking two hurried steps, he felt that something was wrong, and he turned around and asked Xiang Zuo in a low voice. , "Master Xiang, what is your plan? Do you want me to test Miss Fanghua's position in the emperor's heart? Or..."

Prime Minister Zuo knocked off his hand, "Isn't this officer pointing out the way for Master Hou?"

Yongkanghou stared, "Although you and I have some friendships, you and I both know in our hearts that those friendships are untenable. Tell me the truth, don't help me, but don't hurt me instead."

Prime Minister Zuo looked at Yongkang Hou, and Yongkang Hou also stared at him.

The two of them stared at Miss for a moment, Prime Minister Zuo helplessly pulled him away, walked to a secluded place, and whispered, "Your brother is really smooth, as slippery as a loach, no wonder the Marquis of Yongkang has been taking care of the late emperor for so many years. It's not unreasonable."

"Say none of this." Yongkanghou waved his hand, "Talk about the current matter."

"Right now, Miss Fanghua disliked the emperor very much in the past, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Now that she came back from Lin'an City, she has changed her normal behavior and behaved very harmoniously with the emperor. They rode the jade chariot together, comparable to the empress." Prime Minister Zuo whispered. Said, "Even I am confused, I don't quite understand, does the emperor really want to marry Miss Fanghua?"

"Nine times out of ten it is true." Yongkang Hou said, "Anyway, Miss Fanghua is now free, and she is free to marry, and she has contributed to the Southern Qin Jiangshan community. Since she saved Lin'an City, her reputation among the people is extremely high. Said she is a good match for the emperor."

"Although I said so, the emperor must serve the late emperor with filial piety, and the filial piety period must be at least one year. What if there is any change in this?" Zuo Xiang asked again.

Yongkanghou looked at him and suddenly realized, "I understand, Miss Fanghua has never liked you very much. You are afraid that because she is by the emperor's side, she will be canonized as queen by the emperor in the future. Then, if she says a word, you will lose trust and disfavor." .”

Zuo Xiang blushed, a little embarrassed, but did not deny it, "Master Hou, you know, it is not easy to be an official in the court." After saying that, he patted him on the shoulder, "You and I are mutually beneficial. Can you be by Miss Fanghua's side?" Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, as for the third and fifth princes, I will find a way to help you get over those messy things in the past."

"Forget it, what you said makes sense!" Yongkanghou nodded, "I'm going to find Miss Fanghua now."

Prime Minister Zuo nodded.

The two reached an agreement, and the Marquis of Yongkang hurried to the place where Xie Fanghua lived.

After waiting for him to leave, Prime Minister Zuo glanced at the remote palace where the third and fifth princes were besieged by the Imperial Forest Army, and shook his head.

After Qin Yu and Xie Fanghua left, they returned to the palace.

Qin Yu didn't go back to his residence, but entered the place where Xie Fanghua lived, walked all the way, his face was still frosty.

Shi Hua and Shi Mo also heard some rumors about the drinking and having fun of the third and fifth princes, and when they saw the two came back, they hurriedly poured tea for them.

Qin Yu drank the tea in one breath, put down the teacup, and said angrily, "They are princes, they did such a thing, the common people hang white strips and wear plain clothes to mourn their father, don't drink alcohol, delay weddings to show their taboo, They are the sons of the father, it is abhorrent to do such a thing when the father is buried!"

Xie Fanghua also felt that the third and fifth princes were really absurd, no wonder even Qin Yu's fingers couldn't compare to them.

"Father spoiled them for many years in vain. In order to save their lives, they were dispatched to the imperial mausoleum." Qin Yu was furious, "If such things die here, they will also pollute the mausoleum of the imperial family."

Xie Fanghua took the teapot and poured him another cup of tea without saying a word.

Qin Yu glanced at her, saw her calm face, and gradually suppressed his anger, "Fortunately, I accompanied you to the underground palace today, otherwise I wouldn't know they dared to be so absurd."

"Don't be angry." Xie Fanghua signaled him to drink tea, "It's not worth punishing yourself for other people's mistakes."

"How can I not be angry." Qin Yu still had lingering anger, but his complexion had improved a bit, he picked up the tea and took a sip slowly, "I didn't want to eradicate my brother after the death of my father, I didn't Born from the same root, but they are like this, how can I spare them?"

"The Liu family and the Shen family have moved out of the capital. Concubine Shen and Concubine Liu have also become concubines in the palace after the death of the former emperor. There is no longer any threat or action. The third and fifth princes have already been removed from the court. Now there is only the identity of a prince left, and to put it bluntly, they are just two wastes." Xie Fanghua said, "Killing them is just a temporary relief. If this matter is not blocked and spread, it will be a scandal for the royal family. If it is blocked and you don’t spread the word, the people all over the world will say that the bones of the previous emperor were not cold, and the new emperor will kill the same flesh and blood. Your hard work and reputation of virtue when you were the prince will be in vain.”

Qin Yu looked up at Xie Fanghua, "According to you, they can't kill them yet?"

"Killing two bastards has caused you to be in a dilemma. The old and the new are replaced by the old and the new. Internal and external troubles, isn't your reputation more important than the lives of the two bastards?" Xie Fanghua looked at him.

Qin Yu was annoyed, "But thinking of them just now, I wish I could just kill them. Do you want to keep these things?"

"What you do, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. Thousands of people in the Southern Qin Dynasty are watching the deeds of the new emperor ascending the throne after the death of the first emperor. If you have just buried the first emperor, you will kill your feet, and the world will be at ease. There are many mouths, and you can't stop it." Xie Fanghua said, "You should be clear about the pros and cons."

Hearing this, Qin Yu stretched out his hand to rub the center of his eyebrows, leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes in discouragement.

Xie Fanghua stopped talking.

After a while, footsteps came from outside.

Shi Hua and Shi Mo stood at the door, glanced outside, and when they saw the person coming, they whispered inside, "Your Majesty, Miss, the Marquis of Yongkang is here."

"What is he here for?" Qin Yu rubbed the hand between his brows.

Xie Fanghua glanced out, pondered for a moment, and said, "It should be for the third and fifth princes to intercede?"

"Pleading?" Qin Yu became angry when he heard that, "There are really people who dare to plead for them!"

"The Marquis of Yongkang must have been forced to do so." Xie Fanghua looked at the Marquis Yongkang who was coming carefully while wiping his sweat, and said with a smile, "I didn't know much about Marquis Yongkang before. You have to be tactful too, for many years, during the reign of the late emperor, it was not unrelated to him to support the Yongkang Marquis Mansion."

Qin Yu opened his eyes and nodded in agreement, "It's too smooth to make people like it."

Xie Fanghua glanced at him, "You don't like him, you like the kind of obedient Zuo Xiang. When you let him show his sharpness, he will show his sharpness, and when you let him tuck his tail, he will tuck his tail."

Qin Yu laughed angrily, "You hit the mark."

Seeing him smile, Xie Fanghua took the opportunity to say, "Now the court is employing people. Even if you don't like it, you can't eradicate them. People like Yongkanghou, if they are used well, are actually the most useful. Now Zhongyonghou's mansion It is already empty, and the hereditary nobles are all in the limelight. In my opinion, the former emperor has gone, and you are the new emperor. It is time to win people's hearts. Why don't you take this opportunity to give Yongkang Hou a face, let From now on, he will swear allegiance to you to the death."

Qin Yu glanced out, then slowly turned his head to look at her, his rationality gradually returned, "He came to you to beg for mercy."

Xie Fanghua took a sip from the teacup, then slowly put it down, "It's up to you to decide what to do with me."
