This rumor is related to Song Zan, the prince of Anlehou, and Lin Jun, the granddaughter of the Minister of Industry.
Rumor has it that Song Zan and Lin Jun were in love with each other, and they exchanged gifts privately. More importantly, Song Zan also gave Lin Jun hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Who is Song Zan?
He is Prince Anlehou and the future consort of Princess Changding!
Who is Lin Jun?
She is the second granddaughter of the Minister of Industry, and she is also the companion of Princess Changding!
These two people actually have an affair?
More importantly, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in it!
What is the concept of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?
The previous mutiny in Shuzhou finally ended because the Jiang family took out one hundred thousand taels of silver.
This one hundred thousand taels of silver was a large amount of money for the Jiang family, the richest man, and it was not easy to come up with it.
Anlehou Mansion, where did so much silver come from?
This shows that Song Zan and Lin Jun have an extraordinary relationship.
Furthermore, how could a little girl like Lin Jun need tens of thousands of taels of silver?
This silver can only be exchanged between the Lin family and the head of the Anlehou Mansion.
Thinking of the recent situation of the Lin family, could it be that the Lin family wants to use these 100,000 taels of silver to fill the holes in the Jiangnan river?
This is not impossible.
At this time, Lin Heyun had been involved in a corruption case, and most officials in the DPRK and China avoided it. Why did the Anlehou Mansion still give him hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?
Could it be that the Anlehou Mansion is also related to the Jiangnan Road corruption case, and this is a cover-up payment?
There are so many things that can be said, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, including the officials of Yushitai.
The Censor's Office is not allowed to rely on rumors, but if there are really obvious clues for guidance, then the Censor's Office will go and find out clearly. This is another matter.
Song Qiyan, the Marquis of Anle, almost wanted to kill his son, while Song Zan, besides being shocked and defensive, also had a trace of regret.
Except for the two of them, no one else knew about the money he lent to Lin Jun. He even hid it from his own servant, so why did it spread?
Moreover, the rumors were told extremely carefully, as if he had seen him and Jun'er get along with his own eyes. He didn't understand why!
This thing is getting worse and worse. What will he do in the future? What should Jun'er do?
Unfortunately, no one will pay attention to him.
When this rumor spread to the palace, everyone's mood was a little subtle.
Speaking of which, they were no strangers to these two people. After all, they were both related to Princess Changding.
One is Princess Changding’s companion, and the other is Princess Changding’s future consort. These two people actually...
Tsk tsk!
Does Princess Changding know these things? What will be the reaction?
Also, how does Concubine Jiang feel when she knows this? Will this affect the unborn baby?
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Fuqing Palace.
They only knew that Princess Changding would go to the palace to accompany Concubine Jiang every day, but Fuqing Palace was as strict as an iron barrel and no news was leaked out.
~~
In the Zichen Palace, Emperor Yongning looked at Zheng Ji for a long time before saying, "Chang Ding, you said... you want to go to the palace in person to defend yourself?"
"Yes." Zheng Ji raised his head and looked at Emperor Yongning: "Father, please! My mother-in-law is not in good health to go to the Zichen Palace now. I will defend myself for my mother-in-law and the Jiang family, okay?"
Her eyes were full of pleading, as if she was still the little girl pulling on Emperor Yongning's sleeves to act coquettishly. She seemed not to have noticed that Emperor Yongning's title had changed.
Her father had always called her "Xiao Jiu". When did she start calling her "Chang Ding"?
She didn't remember it, and she didn't really care.
If the father really valued her and his mother-in-law, no matter what he called her, it would be the same.
Emperor Yongning was silent and did not agree immediately.
The princess went to the palace to explain herself. This is something that has never happened in this dynasty. Is this appropriate? Moreover, Lin Heyun’s confession has not yet been found out. Whether the Jiang family really has no
Involved?
Zheng Ji's shoulders drooped, his expression suddenly became gloomy, and his tone was weak: "Father, then Song Zan and Lin Jun...I am about to become the laughing stock of the court. Can Father just watch this?" Do you want me to be humiliated like this?"
If it concerns herself and the Jiang family, her father may not agree, but what about her father and the royal family? That's not necessarily the case.
This was one of the reasons why she asked Fengju to spread the word.
Regarding the corruption case in Jiangnan Road and the evidence about the Lin family, she had already made it known to everyone in Jing Zhaoyang and forced Lin Heyun to plead guilty in front of his father. However, she did not expect that the mother-concubine was pregnant. but.
Imperial Physician Zhao has not returned to Beijing yet. She can't do anything about her mother's pregnancy. However, the sewage that was poured into the Jiang family can be cleaned up as soon as possible.
Lin Heyun took the initiative to confess to the officials at Yushitai, wasn't he just trying to drag the Jiang family into trouble by leveraging the power of officials in the DPRK?
Officials in the DPRK and China can use it, and so can she!
Once again in the early morning court at the Xuanzheng Hall, when officials impeached Concubine Jiang and the Jiang family, Emperor Yongning spoke.
"In that case, let Chang Ding enter the palace to defend himself."
As soon as the emperor said this, the courtiers in the palace suddenly felt confused.
His Highness Changding entered the palace to defend himself? What does it mean?
Usually when an official is impeached, most of them will write a self-defense memorial, but who is Princess Changding?
She is the daughter of the Emperor's most beloved Concubine Jiang, and she is the Emperor's most beloved princess. How can she need to defend herself?
Or, come to the Xuanzheng Palace in person to defend yourself?
The courtiers didn't understand Emperor Yongning's intention. Most of them believed that Princess Changding's arrogant and domineering temperament would definitely cause a scene in the Xuanzheng Hall.
Princess Changding must have had a bad look at the officials who impeached the Jiang family. She would often curse, and she might even retaliate after the morning court.
Although the officials who spoke out about impeachment looked upright and awe-inspiring on their faces, they were quite uneasy in their hearts.
Who would have thought that the emperor would let Princess Changding enter the palace to defend herself?
No matter what they thought, the servants in the Xuanzheng Palace sang loudly: "Princess Xuanzhangding enters the palace!"
As the chamberlain sang loudly, everyone in the palace subconsciously looked at the door, and then shook their heads involuntarily.
This...is His Highness Changding?
The Zheng Ji who appeared in front of them was not dressed as an ordinary princess. She was not wearing an exquisite and luxurious dress, but a sassy riding uniform. She was also wearing armor and holding a long black whip in her hand.
This kind of dress makes her taller and stronger.
In addition, her expression was cold, there was a coldness in her phoenix eyes, and her whole person seemed to have an aura that was not angry but powerful.
As she walked, the whip dragged on the temple, making a "stinging" sound, which gave people an increasingly oppressive feeling.
Most of the officials in the palace have not seen Zheng Ji in person for a long time, and their impressions of her have always been that of an arrogant and savage little girl.
Now, I can't believe my eyes.
Is this really His Highness Changding? When did His Highness Changding become like this?
