What Song Jue got back was the letter of petition that Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Gao handed to the Queen Mother. No, it was not so much a plea, but more of them complaining about their husbands. By the way, they also pointed out the connotation of Sang scolding Huai, saying that it was a big mistake. The commander's hand is stretched too far, even for a clear-minded person like them, they dare to touch it.
Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Gao's natal family is also a well-known Hanlin family. They have read poetry and books since childhood, and their literary talent is quite good. Every word and every sentence can touch people's most painful places. If Song Jue and the Queen Mother hadn't trusted Bai Meng so much and knew everything about Bai Meng, it would have been a good thing that the commander-in-chief was imprisoned without being held accountable based on the two ladies' ability to confuse right and wrong and spread rumors in their letters. .
"The books written by these two ladies have been read into the dog's belly." Shen Cha took Shen Haolin's hand and read the two so-called letters of love. Could it be that the ability to say something is also passed down from family?"
"Xiaocha, what you said is wrong, how can you insult a dog? Dogs are so cute!" Song Yaojia sneered, "I don't know about others, but I know these two very well. They are the same as Cai and Gao. Together they are a perfect match!”
"Oh?" Song Jue looked at Song Yaojia and then at the two father-in-laws standing beside him, "It's rare to see Yaojia react so strongly to others. Is there some story I don't know about?"
"Your Majesty, it is true." Eunuch Cui glanced at Song Yaojia and coughed twice, "I used to say bad things about people behind their backs, but now there is no need to hide it for them." He looked at the girl who was looking at him eagerly. Several people said with smiles, "Those two ladies were very arrogant and domineering when they were in the boudoir. They were so domineering that the whole of Xijing knew their names. Although they came from a scholarly family and they did read a lot of poetry, they Bit's temperament is not that good. If they like someone or something they like, they must get it, otherwise they will make endless troubles."
"Endless noisy?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Why are you so noisy? Are you making a fuss and rolling around?"
"The general is right. As long as they don't get what they want, they can make a noise that can be heard all over the capital." Eunuch Pan continued after Eunuch Cui's words, "At that time, the late emperor also talked to two bachelors. , advised them to teach their daughter well and not to embarrass the whole family. But after talking several times, it had no effect at all, and it only got worse. The late emperor simply ignored it. After all, he was not a member of his own family, and he could not embarrass the royal family if he was embarrassed. Face. By the time these two are at the age where they are planning to get married, almost no one in Xijing City is willing to marry them, which makes the elders in the family very worried."
"The elders are very worried. They are not worried at all because they have found the target." Cui Eunuch took the big copper pot, refilled everyone's teacups, and asked the waiter to prepare refreshments. Come over with Fruit, "Their goal is..."
"My father." Seeing everyone looking at her with surprised eyes, Song Yaojia nodded affirmatively, "You heard me right, they both want to marry my father and become their concubines at the same time."
"What do you mean?" Bai Meng looked at Song Yaojia in confusion, "Your Majesty, what does it mean to be your father's concubine at the same time? Who allowed it? Have you asked the late emperor and the prince?"
"That's why we say they have something wrong with their brains. They think everyone in the world has to be obedient to them like their family members!" Song Yaojia snorted, "I don't know exactly what's going on. I know. The thing is that after the father and mother got married, they would always cry and make a fuss at the door of the house, saying that the father had failed them, that the father was not worthy of being a human being, and so on."
"Your Highness, you have mistakenly remembered." Eunuch Cui waved his hand, "That's what happened. These two people forced the elders of the family to go to the palace to propose marriage, insisting on marrying the prince. But neither the late emperor nor the queen mother agreed. These two are not kind people, and marrying them will only make the family uneasy."
"The late emperor and the empress dowager clearly rejected the marriage, but they did not expect that in order to achieve their own goals, these two ladies would not hesitate to lose the dignity and dignity of their daughters and wanted to break into the palace to directly propose marriage to the late emperor and the empress dowager. Of course, breaking into the palace was not possible, so they ran directly to the gate of the palace, waiting for the prince to appear. They wanted to have some contact with the prince and relied on him. However, they did not expect that the prince had already received the news and entered the palace. They didn't block the prince at the gate of the palace, so they could only go back to their homes angrily. But their actions completely angered the late emperor and the queen mother. Since they wanted to get married, it was their honor to have the royal family grant them the marriage. "
"So, my father chose Cai and Gao?"
"Yes, at that time, these two adults were still candidates for the new imperial examination. They could only study in the Hanlin Academy. Their lives were relatively poor, which might attract some of their attention. Therefore, for them at that time, it was the most important thing. It's a good choice." Eunuch Cui sighed, "But the two of them refused to give up even after they got married. They still haven't given up on their dream of becoming the mistress of the Prince's Palace. After learning that the late Emperor and the Queen Mother had made an appointment, After choosing the acting princess, she would go to the house and make a fuss. Fortunately, the princess was not from Xijing, but came to Beijing one month before the wedding. In order to avoid their harassment, the Queen Mother made an exception and took the person directly to the palace. . Moreover, a special order was given to the husband’s and natal families of these two ladies to be grounded for three months because of their misbehavior.”
"Prevent them from ruining the wedding?" Seeing Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan nodding at the same time, Song Jue touched his chin, "After Uncle Wang got married, they also made trouble, right? If I remember correctly, they seemed to have given something unclean. The things that went to the palace, the princess was pregnant at the time, and she was really shocked. The queen mother was furious, and ordered the two ladies to be beaten thirty times and thrown into the family temple outside the city for five years. Later, Because they performed well in the temple, they were released with mercy. Since they came back, they have restrained themselves a lot. Unexpectedly..." He sighed, "It's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change it. After so many years, it's still... Like this."
"Then do they know the relationship between Cai and Gao and the Kingdom of Jin?"
Shen Cha didn't care much about what the two ladies had done in the past, but cared more about the so-called family temple. As far as she knew, more than ten years ago, both the Liao and Jin people were very good at using the family temple to make fuss. of. She had reason to suspect that Cai and Gao had a relationship with the Jin man through their wives and became the Jin man... To be precise, they were Wan Yanping's spies.
"Your suspicion is not unreasonable. This is also a direction." Shen Haolin nodded, looked at Song Jue, then at Bai Meng and Deputy Commander Lei, "It's just that the person is in our hands now. No matter how we interrogate, we can find out sooner or later, right?"
"The Duke is right, the breakthrough should lie with these two ladies." Bai Meng and Song Jue exchanged a look, both of them showed a sly smile at the same time, and looked at Shen Cha at the same time, "General ,please!"
