When the general was halfway down, the young eunuch Taiping tiptoed over and replied: "Your Majesty, the memorial from Shangshu Chai has arrived."
Ying Zheng responded calmly: "Send it up."
Taiping left in response, and a few moments later, he respectfully presented a sealed wooden box.
Ying Zhengxin tore open the seal on the wooden box with his hands, took out the memorial inside, unfolded it and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile: "Young man, you really can't hold your breath."
If Feng Zhuniang were here and saw what was said in the memorial, she would be scared to death on the spot.
There was no other reason. It described in detail how she and Mrs. Feng entered the palace today, from going out to returning home, as well as what she said when she was extremely angry in her boudoir. It was recorded clearly word for word, as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes. , heard with my own ears.
This is the merit of the inner guard.
Since Chai Tongfu and other internal guard commanders have turned to the new emperor, they must have a certificate of surrender. In this case, is there any more obvious target than the Feng family of Cheng'en Palace?
Most of the late emperor's internal security forces hidden under the water were hidden in the palace, and the Empress Dowager would not be able to intervene for a while. As for the Feng family, especially Mrs. Feng and Feng Mingda, they were probably on tight guard.
In this case, it might as well start with Feng Zhuniang.
Her relationship with Feng's interest group is close enough - the eldest daughter's direct daughter.
She was part of the plan - as the legitimate daughter of the eldest son of Duke Chengen, she was promised to marry the general of Zuojianmen.
She knew what the Feng family was planning behind the scenes, at least part of it - so she was able to cooperate with Mrs. Feng to act jealous on the eve of her cousin's entry into the palace, to show her weakness to the enemy, and to dispel the possible conflict between the fourth room and Feng Lanruo. suspicion.
At the same time, compared to the Empress Dowager and the rest of the Feng family, the defense around her is not so tight that no one can take action...
It is true that Feng Zhuniang is rich in wealth, but after all, she is only a teenage girl.
The new emperor overpowers the empress dowager and interrupts the Feng family's plan. The cousin who has always been looked down upon by her is in a good position. The salty fish is behind. Then she is looked down upon by her cousin condescendingly. No matter how good her mentality is, she may have to collapse for a while. .
It's just that she is a smart person after all, so she won't get angry in the palace. However, when she returns to her own territory, she drives all the maids away and breaks a few bottles to vent. Isn't this normal operation?
It was at this time that the inner guards came into play. They copied word for word and sent it directly to Ying Zheng.
Several emperors in the space took a look and couldn't help but smile: "If you are not young and energetic, can you still be called a young man?"
Li Yuanda said: "How many people have reversed their identities and missed the opportunity of a lifetime, let alone a teenage girl, even adults and men, how many people can deal with it calmly?"
Li Shimin glanced over and shook his head slightly: "Young people still have a bad mentality. A little stimulation will make them lose their composure."
Li Yuanda turned to look at him and said meaningfully: "What you said is embarrassing Wei Zheng's tombstone."
Li Shimin: "..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was still looking at the gift list prepared by Feng Lanruo for Feng Zhuniang. As he looked at it, he was speechless: "Oh, this little girl is very generous. She is really willing to give away."
Liu Che said: "The Feng family's boat is leaking. Who knows how long it can keep running? Maybe next year these things will have to be returned to her hands!"
Seeing a certain place, he laughed mischievously: "Hey, why is there still the Dowager Dowager's dowry? Oh, why are you giving this to Guanyin? Hasn't someone already proven that this thing is useless?"
Chapter 14
What Feng Zhuniang said when she lost control of her emotions revealed very intriguing information.
First of all, in the eyes of the Feng family, Feng Lanruo has long been an abandoned child.
Even though she is the niece of the Empress Dowager, she is the one with the highest status among the concubines in the harem.
Secondly, in the initial plan of the Feng family, the new emperor was just a passing guest to the throne. After several operations, he would soon make room for someone else.
But this is so wrong.
It is really difficult for normal people to find out the reason why the Feng family is causing trouble.
It is said that it is because the Empress Dowager has no children and is worried about the future of the Feng family - if the new emperor is eliminated and another emperor is established, will the Feng family be safe and sound?
Hiss, wait.
Maybe this is the logic behind Feng's trouble with the Empress Dowager - the candidate they like as the new king is closely related to the Feng family, and they share weal and woe!
"Isn't this okay?"
Li Yuanda said in surprise: "Based on the previous situation, if the empress dowager insisted, she could have brought the legitimate daughter of Feng's family into the palace as the queen, but she did not do so - both generations of empresses came from the Feng family, so such a big pie would not be possible. If the Feng family can’t be fed enough, what benefits must the new emperor offer to impress them? Should the Feng family be asked to become emperor?!”
Ying Zheng suddenly understood: "Maybe this is the Feng family's plan!"
Li Shimin was completely shocked: "Are they crazy? How is this possible?!"
If the person the Feng family likes is a son of the clan, it is still feasible, but to recommend the son of the Feng family as the emperor...
Just raise an army and rebel.
Rather than asking the ministers and clan members of the Manchu Dynasty to accept the Feng family as emperor, it is more likely that the Feng family would directly rebel and proclaim themselves emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "We have discussed this issue before. Regarding the fact that the late emperor clearly had another candidate he liked, but he still adopted the original owner as his heir to inherit the throne. At that time, we came to the conclusion that the one the late emperor really liked Although a person comes from a clan, his identity is ambiguous and there is a possibility of being selected, but it is more likely that he will be rejected by the clan and courtiers..."
Li Yuanda said: "Now it seems that we guessed wrong at the beginning?"
"No!" Liu Che's eyes were burning and he said, "Maybe we should look at these two possibilities together!"
Li Shimin stroked his fingers and said slowly: "The Feng family has a son who has been ensnared by the clan. He was selected by the late emperor. With the cooperation of the empress dowager and the Feng family, a ridiculous clan son was chosen to succeed him, and he waited until he ruined the government. Then ask the Empress Dowager to come forward to depose him and install the Feng family son who is wearing the guise of the clan to succeed him?"
The emperors were silent for a few moments.
Li Yuanda opened the microphone enthusiastically and insulted him passionately: "The late emperor is crazy! He is not crazy, why would he do such a thing that is harmful to himself and others!!!"
Choosing a clan son as his heir, even if he is a ridiculous person, will result in his own flesh rotting in his own pot. The late emperor was so stupid that he ruined his own country just to pave the way for other people's sons!
Zhu Yuanzhang also found it unbelievable: "If the late emperor really did this, wouldn't he have cerebral palsy?! Even if he didn't have a son, he would have brothers, right? Sisters? His mother's family, right? The successor named Murong, these old relatives are always related There is still some incestuous love, and the son of a foreign surname is chosen to succeed, these people are nothing!"
Liu Che spread his hands: "How else can I explain it?"
"If it were not for the Feng family's blood to succeed to the throne, what kind of interests could move the Queen Mother, and call her in her sixties, insist on coming out to make trouble? And what kind of interests could move the Feng family, and ask them to bet on the Nine Clans and the Is the new emperor going against him and using his status as a minister to dethrone and establish the emperor?"
Seeing that the remaining emperors' expressions were relaxed, he continued his efforts: "In a different place, as the patriarch of the Zhong Ming Ding cannibal family, you will risk a life-or-death feud with the new emperor by supporting someone who is not related to you by blood. Will someone succeed to the throne? If you were the one who was promoted to the throne, would you really be able to be friendly with the Feng family's monarchs and ministers with peace of mind? "
Emperors are suspicious.
Several people put themselves in his shoes and thought about it, and an idea suddenly flashed through their minds.
If the Feng family can dethrone the emperor today and put me in power, they may not be able to help others in power tomorrow!
It’s so damn dangerous!
Hide your capabilities, bide your time, then kill it! ! !
At this time, the emperors all fell into confusion.
"Ah! I can't figure it out!!!"
Li Yuanda had a headache: "There's no reason! The late emperor just didn't have a son, but it's not that he didn't have a brain! Why did he help the Empress Dowager deceive his own family and support the Feng family's son to become emperor!"
"It really opened my eyes when I stabbed my butt with a knife." Zhu Yuanzhang was also confused: "What on earth was he thinking?"
Ying Zheng quickly thought of a way to break the situation: "Feng family."
Or the Feng family.
The other few people are also very clear about it.
Li Yuanda's eyes lit up: "The Feng family will definitely not make a big deal about such a major matter that is related to wealth and life. If the selected Feng family son comes from a branch, how can Mrs. Feng and the Queen Mother risk everything to seek his future?"
Li Shimin said: "This person must come from several families of direct descendants, and the eldest brother is most likely!"
Because Changfang pays the most, he also attracts the most attention.
The eldest daughter of the eldest son was promised to the eldest son of the general of Zuojianmen Mansion.
Liu Che chuckled twice: "Isn't there a way?"
Whether it's a son or a girl from everyone's family, they are all eye-catching and cannot be hidden even if they want to, especially the Feng family's long-standing ministers, who are extremely prominent.
As long as you are born, it is impossible for no one to notice.
Ying Zheng absolutely cannot believe that the Feng family started planning this conspiracy twenty years ago.
The late emperor was still in his prime at that time, so how could the Feng family ensure that the late emperor had no children...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Something seems not quite right?
The other emperors obviously wanted to go somewhere.
After looking at each other for a few times, they all said in unison: "That's possible!"
The Feng family's daughter has no children, and she is the late emperor's queen.
The late emperor had a son, but he died when he was very young.
After that, a concubine also got pregnant two years before his death, but that concubine had bad luck and the prince died not long after he was born.
When Ying Zheng heard about it, he only felt that the late emperor was already weak and sick, and because of his age, it was difficult for the concubine to conceive. Even if he got the good news, the fetus would be congenitally deficient. Think about it now...
Liu Che: "It's scary to think about it carefully."
After clearing away a layer of fog, what is exposed is still fog.
Ying Zheng was not in a hurry and carried out his plan in an orderly manner.
Ask Chai Tongfu to check all the children of the Feng family, whether they are sons or daughters, regardless of whether they are the eldest son or concubine, all the children who have been born are thoroughly investigated.
It's time for the palace to start digging out those mice hiding in the dark.
What, don’t know how to dig?
Isn’t that simple?
Check the accounts.
The art of war states that before troops and horses are moved, food and grass must go first. These days, what can you do to make less money?
If the secret service has no money, can it operate?
As the new emperor, as the head of the dynasty, the new official takes office with three things in mind. Who can say anything if he wants to look through his own account books?
The Empress Dowager has just recovered from a serious illness, so it's time for her to rest and not work hard. However, there are seven or eight concubines in the palace at this time. Aren't these all people who came to her door?
The palace is so quiet, I guess they will feel bored too, so why not come work for me, broaden your horizons and learn something!
The Empress Dowager had previously organized the draft for the new emperor, and she seemed to be doing well in terms of human relations. She chose her own niece as the first choice, and the others were all daughters of decent families, with quite good qualifications.
