Wanqingsi

Chapter 147
"To solve this problem, we must first think about who is the ultimate beneficiary in this conspiracy." Yun Zheng said slowly.

"Who? Isn't it Wei Xiang?" I said in surprise, "It's not that he set up this poisonous scheme to get Mrs. Taifu."

"Ye'er, you think Wei Xiang is too simple." Yun Zheng shook his head, "How can he carry out such a rigorous plan as a foreign minister? If there is no one in the palace to cooperate, any mistakes in any link may cause accidents." defeat."

I was stunned: "You mean..."

"This is basically a struggle in the harem. Wei Xiang is just a collaborator in this plan." Yun Zheng's face was a little serious, "In this plan, the first emperor's two concubines who were pregnant with the emperor's heir were killed Framed in, Si Zhaoyi, who gave birth to a prince, was also implicated because of her good relationship with Concubine Murong, and was cast into the cold palace. Therefore, Prince Yu was not liked by the late emperor. If there is a concubine who gave birth to a prince in this harem, What do you think the situation will be? If the prince of this concubine is always favored, who will end up with the throne?"

I came to a sudden: "You mean, as long as you know which other concubines had a prince at that time, you are the one who conspired with us?"

"The late emperor's heirs were not abundant, and the princess was able to grow up safely, but most of the princes died young." Yun Zheng pursed his lips slightly, and said lightly: "In the late emperor's harem, only the princes born to two concubines grew up safely. One is Si Zhaoyi from back then, who gave birth to the empress dowager Si Hongyue who is today's son. The other is Feng Zhaorong from back then, who gave birth to the concubine Feng Laiyi, the concubine of the Ninth Prince Jun Qianyi."

"In this way, this Concubine Feng is the person most likely to conspire with Xiang Wei back then?" I frowned, seeing Yun Zheng nodded slightly, and after a long silence, I sighed quietly: "What a kill three birds with one stone." What a vicious scheming!"

This harem battle is so terrifying. Thinking of what Yun Zheng said, the princes of the late emperor would not live long. Back then, Jun Beiyu's mother and son had Murong Concubine to take care of them, so Jun Beiyu could grow up to five years old safely. But after Murong Concubine died, Si Zhaoyi was beaten Leng Gong, a five-year-old child, without the protection of a powerful family, how did he survive in the perilous palace?His deep scheming and suspicious character were all developed in this dangerous environment, right?Thinking of this, I felt a throbbing pain in my heart.

Yun Zheng didn't make a sound. I knew that with his wisdom, he was familiar with the tricks in the harem battle, and he didn't have much emotion.Holding Yunzheng's hand, I had a little doubt: "Since the Queen Mother Si was thrown into the cold palace, why did Concubine Feng not deal with her son? She even made him the emperor?"

Jun Beiyu is also a prince, and she should be a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh to Concubine Feng who wanted the Ninth Prince to be the emperor, but she actually allowed him to grow up safely and become emperor?What is the unknown secret here?A faint smile floated on the corner of Yun Zheng's lips, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, he said softly: "If there is anyone in this world that I admire, it is the current emperor."

"Eh?" I looked at him in surprise, Yun Zheng, do you admire the emperor?Yun Zheng said with a slight smile: "It's not that Concubine Feng didn't attack the emperor, but she didn't succeed. A five-year-old child, after his mother lost power, knew how to pretend to be crazy to protect himself and deceive everyone. second to none."

I stared blankly at Yun Zheng, thinking about what he said, my heart was sore and bitter.Yun Zheng said slowly: "The former emperor's comment on the current emperor is, 'Prince Yu's aptitude is stupid, hard to carve, not a great tool', do you know the origin of the late emperor's words?" Yun Zheng paused, then continued: " Prince Yu was stubborn and stupid since he was a child. He was disliked by the late emperor. After he became an adult, he would spend his days drinking and drinking, not doing business properly, being dissolute and absurd. He didn't pay any attention to state affairs and political affairs. went."

"Where is he like that?" I blurted out.Yunzheng looked at me quietly, and I realized that I had made a slip of the tongue. Yunzheng smiled clearly, held my hand lightly, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, no one would think that he is such a person nowadays. But when the first emperor was alive, everyone thought he was that kind of person, a prince who could hardly become a great talent, a person who was not a threat to power. He started acting at the age of five and played for more than ten years. He played such a role, He pretended so successfully that even his grandfather was deceived, and it was only after he ascended the throne that he gradually revealed his ability to govern the country."

"That's why the old man invested in him?" I just felt that these power struggles were disturbing, and there was an inexplicable pain in my heart, "Because of his bad deeds, he even deceived the old man, so the old man, as usual, helped When he came to power, he originally wanted to control a puppet emperor who had no ability to control, so as to protect the prosperity of the Yun family from generation to generation, but unexpectedly he made a mistake, failed in his investment, and now he is being restrained everywhere."

Yun Zheng let out a "puchi" laugh, not at all annoyed: "You summed it up well, but don't let grandfather hear this, he will be depressed."

I smiled, Yunzheng heard me say a lot of online vocabulary, but this time he used it just right.I frowned and said: "Leave aside the emperor's side, since we speculated that this matter was conspired by Concubine Feng and Wei, how can we find evidence? Do you want to attack Concubine Feng?"

Yun Zheng shook his head, and said lightly: "This matter, at most, will stop here with Wei Xiang, and it will not affect Concubine Feng at all. The plan of killing three birds with one stone that we just speculated, even if it is not presented to the emperor, the emperor will also want it. But What can I do? The emperor will never touch the concubine for an old case that has no evidence 19 years ago. What is the identity of the concubine? The Feng family behind her holds the military power in the southern frontier."

That's right, even if the case is overturned, so what? At most, the concubine can be convicted alone, so can her son and family be implicated?What if she killed a woman?It will not affect the situation in the court at all, but it will anger the Ninth Prince and the Feng family.Your majesty, who can endure humiliation for more than ten years, would not do such thankless things.

"Then this case is stuck here?" I said with difficulty, "If no evidence can be found to prove that someone has secretly replaced Murong Concubine's birth-safety talisman, this case will not be closed." Who stole the birth-safety talisman and decided that it was Concubine Murong who refused to admit to death. After nearly 20 years, all the palace people of that year died again. We have to trace the information, but there is no trace.

"The clues of the birth talisman can still be traced. Among the palace people who were executed that year, who were usually close to them, there must be someone who knows something about the situation of the Pinxian Palace back then. Otherwise, where do you think the Yun family got the information from?" So what? Even if there is no evidence..." Yun Zheng smiled, his eyes turned cold: "Without evidence, can't we make it? Do you think Wei Xiang now knows about the plan 19 years ago?"

I immediately understood Yun Zheng's meaning, this Wei Xiang is fake, if he is Aunt Zhou's lover, if there is nothing wrong, he was recruited by Wei Jinlan to play Wei Xiang for at most nine years.I'm afraid I don't necessarily know about the incident 19 years ago.So what does the evidence matter?True or false, what does it matter?Pretending to be the prime minister is already a capital crime, now he not only enjoys the glory brought by Wei Jinlan's identity, but also bears the sins committed by Wei Jinlan.

"You don't need to worry about the rest of this matter, I will take this case to the emperor after I finish it." Yun Zheng said indifferently, "If Wei Xiang collapses, Concubine Degui will lose power, and you will be safe."

"Is it true that Concubine De sent someone to assassinate me?" I bit my lip and said, "Yunkan is back? What did he find?"

"This matter is getting more and more interesting." Yun Zheng had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold, "The four people who assassinated you today turned out to be Ouchi guards."

"Ouchi guards?" I asked in surprise, "She is a woman, how can she mobilize the Ouchi guards? Could it be that even the head of the Forbidden Palace's guards is also a member of Weixiang?"

"Wei Xiang? He hasn't been able to infiltrate the power into the guard camp." Yun Zheng snorted softly, "All the guards in the palace are controlled by the emperor himself, let alone such an important position as the head of the guards."

"How could Concubine De be able to mobilize the guards?" I frowned.Yun Zheng laughed: "That's why I find it interesting. Let the emperor worry about this matter. He has found so many troublesome things for us to do. He would be ashamed not to trouble him with something."

I let out a "puchi" laugh, and lightly thumped Yunzheng: "Husband, you are so cunning!" Yes, let the emperor investigate, why did the big guard come to assassinate me, since the big guard is the emperor himself The one who is in control should give me an explanation, why should I have a headache.

In the next few days, after finishing the affairs behind Aunt Zhou, Yun Gan brought the stiff Zhou Fusheng back home. I looked at Yun Gan in amazement, and he said helplessly, "Young Madam, he refuses to come back with me. I just tapped his hole."

"Relieve his acupoints." I shook my head, saw Yun Gan tap him a few times, the child turned around and left without saying a word, I grabbed him: "Fusheng, where are you going?"

"Go home." He bit his lip and lowered his head not to look at me.

"Fusheng, Hou Mansion will be your home from now on." I squatted down and said softly, "I will take good care of you."

"I don't want to stay in the Hou Mansion, I want to go home." Fusheng looked up at me with tears in his eyes, "I know, mother doesn't like me always running to the Hou Mansion, if I stay at home every day, mother will not give birth to me If you are angry, you will not die..."

"Fusheng..." I hugged him distressedly, "It's not like this, Aunt Zhou loves Fusheng the most, and she will never be angry with Fusheng. It was Aunt Zhou who let you live in the Hou Mansion in the future, you forgot What? If you don't listen to Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhou will feel uneasy."

He burst into tears: "Sister Ye, why did mother die? I don't understand..."

I also don't understand, the autopsy report of Xu Zuo said that she did die by hanging herself, I don't understand why she is so stupid, she even had the heart to abandon her son for the sake of that ruthless man.After all, Fusheng lived in the Hou's mansion.After this incident, the child became taciturn. Jin Sha tried her best to make him talk and laugh, but it was useless. In the end, she could only sit quietly beside him. Two children who lost their parents, a little lonely Lingling's back, leaning against each other, makes people feel sad.

Deacon Yin also sent the news from Jeju.This Wei Xiang, whose real name is Zhou Jingyun, is a private school teacher who left Jeju nine years ago...I carefully looked at Zhou Jingyun's profile and smiled slightly, no wonder Wei Xiang asked him to pretend to be himself, that's how it is.
