Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 43

"By the way, how is the investigation of the Marquis of Wuding's mansion going? Is there any progress?" Shen Haolin walked to the door, opened the door, and looked at the gloomy sky outside, "I will hand over this matter to His Majesty in the next year. You should be A little reconciled?"

"I'm not reconciled, but there's nothing I can do. No matter how hard we search now, we can't find anything. There are some places and certain people that we can't reach. Only by handing over to His Majesty can we find the truth." Shen Cha came over and held his hand The stove was stuffed into Shen Haolin's hands, "Based on the information we have, it can be confirmed that there are indeed people involved in Brother Xiaotian's maternal ancestral family. There are quite a few people involved, and the involvement is deep."

"Involved deeply means there is a mastermind?"

"I'm not sure if it's the mastermind or not, but at least it's someone who can make up my mind." Shen Cha shook his head, "They are fearless, no, they should be confident, because they do everything in the name of Marquis Wuding's mansion, even if they are really investigated , and they will not be found out so quickly. Facts have also proved that they are right, Wudinghou's mansion suffered because of that incident, but they are still safe."

"Those people have learned to be smart. You know, the first thing they want to fight is not the banner of Marquis Wuding's Mansion, but the Empress Dowager." Shen Haolin pulled Shen Cha out of the door, and walked slowly towards the front yard. "It's just that although the empress lives in the harem, she is not blind. The gang of people showed a little bit of signs, but they were cut off by the empress. She once told the late emperor that as long as there are people outside who do anything bad under her banner , please don’t be polite, the first emperor, just arrest and punish them all.”

"Is there such a thing?" Shen Cha turned her head in surprise, glanced at Shen Haolin, and asked, "Why didn't I know?"

"You don't know it's normal. It was when the empress dowager just entered the palace and was very favored. At that time, I was not very old, only two or three years old. I heard about it later. Otherwise, I don't know."

"Doing evil under the banner of the imperial concubine is very bluffing. Unless the matter is too big, otherwise, most people will not go into it. However, doing so is not good for the imperial concubine's reputation, and it is easy to be misunderstood as She is the treacherous concubine who charms the emperor."

"This is something that can't be helped. To have a daughter selected into the palace, such a family is at least a famous family. There are also a lot of people in the family, and their personalities are different. There is that kind of self-cleaning, and there is that kind of A bully. If the imperial concubine in the palace is really the kind who is raised in a deep boudoir and doesn't know the world, this family will have trouble sooner or later. If she understands things like the empress dowager, at least it can be saved."

"What brother said is that there is a difference between bullying and doing evil. Some are just taking advantage of the opportunity to make money, and some are doing this kind of business of buying and collaborating with the enemy." Shen Cha sighed softly, "The empress dowager is wise." , cut off the thoughts of those in the family in time, otherwise, I am afraid that even the empress will be implicated, and Da Xia will not be what he is now."

"Who says it's not! There are many relatives, and there are many people who need to be controlled, but the empress dowager only has one pair of eyes and one pair of hands, how can she manage it? Besides, those in the late emperor's harem are not good, otherwise, The empress dowager will not arouse the jealousy of those people because she is too favored, and she will kill the empress dowager when she is on a parade with the late emperor."

"Brother said that the empress dowager communicated with the first emperor in advance, so don't indulge the people because of her. I think, apart from this reason, the most important thing is that the empress dowager was in trouble back then, she was far away from the court, and her life and death were unknown. The empress dowager's clan felt that finally No one can hinder them from doing anything, so they are a lot more presumptuous. The first emperor remembers his mother, so no matter what the people do, he will turn a blind eye and close one eye, and don't care about them. But the first emperor did not expect that, These people's appetites are getting bigger and bigger, and they actually plotted against the law and dreamed of the throne."

"Because of this, the first emperor regretted it very much. He always felt that he had to bear a lot of responsibility for the death of the empress dowager. If he could detect the bad intentions of those people early, it would not have happened. Such a tragic thing."

"The first emperor transferred the guilt towards the empress to the empress clansmen?"

"If you can't take care of your mother, you should take good care of your family members. I didn't expect..." Shen Haolin shook his head with regret on his face, "His kindness has fed a group of white-eyed wolves. Fortunately, my mother returned to the palace safely, and the two of them were able to Reunion, this also gave the late emperor an excuse to deal with those people. However, those people were too cunning and guarded against the late emperor early on. In order to protect themselves, they dragged Wu Dinghou and his wife out as a shield. At that time, all the evidence pointed to If you lose them, it is simply hard to argue, and there is no other way to go except to apologize with death."

"When the case happened, His Majesty was still the prince. He could only watch the injustice happen but was powerless. He wanted to avenge Wu Dinghou and his wife, but because of his lack of strength, he couldn't find any evidence in favor of Wu Dinghou and his wife. But now It's different now, he is the master of the world, he can do whatever he wants, and no one will embarrass him anymore. Finally, he has a chance to vindicate Marquis Wu Ding, so he won't give up." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "Thinking about it this way, I don't feel wronged at all. As long as the Marquis of Wuding's mansion can be restored to its innocence, other things don't matter."

"That's what happened. At the beginning, he refused to run away and inherit the throne that he hated. Most of the night market was because he wanted to rehabilitate the Marquis of Wuding. Now that the head of the empress dowager's mother's line has been found, this matter is no longer We can intervene now." Shen Haolin smiled at Shen Cha, "Let His Majesty go down and have a headache, and save him from having nothing to do all day and thinking of bad ideas to torment others."

"Brother is right, it is time to find something for him to do."

Shen Cha very much agrees with Shen Haolin's point of view, Song Jue's ability to make trouble out of nothing is beyond what ordinary people can imagine.Although he is also a wise ruler who is diligent in government and loves the people, but I don't know why, this person's character is extremely stubborn, and from time to time he will make some noises to toss and toss the adults in the court.

When she returned to Beijing to report on her duties, she had personally seen His Majesty the Emperor dressed up as a little eunuch, secretly preparing to sneak out of the palace gate. If he hadn't met them entering the palace, he might have escaped.When I was in Xijing, I also heard that His Majesty pretended to be a hooligan or a dandy more than once, causing trouble everywhere. After being caught by the servants of the Jingzhao Mansion, he said that he was someone from the court An important official or a nephew of a certain prince, nephew, etc., let the yamen servant notify the unlucky important official or prince to go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to find him.

Shen Cha really doesn't understand Song Jue. She is already very busy in charge of the daily affairs of Jiaping Guancheng, Shen Jiajun, and Zhen Guo Gongfu. There was still time to cause trouble for others, Shen Cha felt that she should ask Song Jue for advice on how to handle official business quickly.

"He's always been very happy when he sees other people's frowning faces and anxious anger. This time, we let him worry too."

"The empress dowager also let him gossip, even if someone sued him, she never restrained him, but she even connived."

"Your Majesty's meaning is very clear. As long as His Majesty does not delay the important affairs of the country and the people's living and working in peace and contentment, you can do anything. Of course, the premise is that he will be the emperor honestly, and he can't think about sneaking out of Beijing all day long." go."

"He will never give up the throne until the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion is rehabilitated. Wait!" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, and asked in disbelief, "He can make such a fuss, so he can't just wait until Marquis Wuding's mansion is rehabilitated. The ministers have an excuse to force him to abdicate, or does he abdicate on his own initiative?"

"Exactly!" Shen Haolin also felt quite helpless, "That's what he came up with."

"Do the adults in the court don't care?"

"It is estimated that the adults are well aware of his thoughts, so... as long as what he does does not harm Da Xia's interests, does not harm his dragon body health, he can do whatever he likes, and no one will really Take it to heart." Shen Haolin smiled lightly, "Now His Majesty is not yet married, and no son is born, and no one in the royal family is willing to succeed him as the next emperor of Daxia, so, no matter how much you don't want to, He can only reluctantly continue to sit on that dragon chair."

"...Song Jue... can be regarded as the number one person in the ages to despise the throne to this extent."
