Vol 5 Chapter 60: Slippery fish

Yun Fenghuang was stunned, and he hadn't even spoken to remind the guards. When the figure behind the flowers and trees moved, the other party had already walked out on their own initiative, bowed and said softly: "Erchen please greet the concubine."
"...It's you." Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes and looked at him. Because the person was standing far away and the palace lanterns were limited, he could only see a vague outline.
She recognized it for a while, and said slowly, "The second prince was quarreled? It was King Qin who got out of shape today and disturbed you. The palace has just scolded him, rush Minger, let him set up a wine set for your brothers. feast."
The second prince lowered his head, maintained a respectful posture, and said softly: "The concubine noble mother is serious. Hearing the eldest brother's movement for some time, he was worried, so he took the liberty to take a look. The concubine came here personally. If I had known this, my son would not bother me."
Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Where is the word? You care about King Qin, and my palace is happy. After all, you are all brothers..."
After saying some scenes, seeing the second prince propose to retire, it was justified.
On the way back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Yun Fenghuang pondered for a moment and asked, "What are the second princes doing these days?"
"In reply to Empress, the second prince has been with Empress Shu these days." Chen Jing whispered, "I didn't hear any other movement."
He also said, "The second prince has made friends with some people in front, and there is no special one."
Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "Is he usually so enthusiastic?"
Seeing Chen Jing stunned, patience-children said, "The King Qin was a pet when he was young. Although he is the eldest brother, he still maintains his brothers who grew up in Xuanqing Palace, but he does not care for the brothers who were raised by the palace himself. He has always been harsh. Just now he was so violent and the second prince was close. Without asking for details, there should be counts of good and bad things? The servants who have served King Qin for many years dare not get together. He is a child who usually looks at the honest child. Where does the courage come from, Kuiye went to visit alone? I'm not afraid that King Qin will find out and use him as a punching bag?"
Over the years, the second prince’s comment in the imperial ban has been low-key and honest, but no matter how low-key and honest...Tonight, how can you avoid a little bit and rush to get in the way?
Chen Jing saw sweat on her forehead and whispered, "It's the slave and maid's negligence."
"I was born in a humble background. I used to be in the countryside. Although I could also call slaves and maids, I have heard many things in the world." Yun Fenghuang leaned on the footsteps and said lightly, "Ordinary people, three thatched houses, A few acres of Susukada, and brothers fighting each other, the blades fought each other, so that people were killed. Not to mention the big position? This man, he was born to want to go to high places. This palace thinks, the sons under this palace’s knees think, Other people, don’t you think about it? How could it be possible? When I entered the palace, what status was that? Still looking forward to it, now the sixth house seems to be gentle and sensible. However, what do you think? Who knows?"
"Throughout the ages, those who dare to retreat from the rapids have been praised."
"why is that?"
"Isn't it because there are so few things that can be done?"
"If it's easy to achieve... it's not worthy of everyone's praise."
Chen Jingdi claimed that it was, and said: "Don't worry, the empress, not only the second prince, but also the other princes, the servants and maidservants must be watching them firmly, and they are determined that something like this will never happen again."
After a pause, he felt a little confused, "It's just...The Second Prince was hiding outside of His Royal Highness King Qin's house this night, what on earth did he want to do?"
"Can't it be the murder of His Royal Highness King Qin?"
"Even if the second prince hides privately, but our highness himself has been adept at arching horses since childhood. In addition, although the people who served were all driven out, he didn't dare to go far, and was surrounded by the second prince... Still expecting to rely on him alone to be a murderous hand to our Highness?"
"Is it possible to eavesdrop on what our Highness is making so that I can spread it?"
"But why should the second prince do it himself?"
After all, if you send a palace official to listen to the wall, once you are caught, there is still room for throwing the pot.
To do it personally, Yun Fenghuang just didn't care about it.
Otherwise, a crime of spying on the eldest brother would have to make the second prince unable to eat.
"Who told you that he must have come out for King Qin to be alone at night?" Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "He just happened to be near King Qin's house, and told the palace to see the trail with the tip of his eyes, so he had to come out and perfunctorily. That's it."
Chen Jing's heart jumped, and subconsciously said: "I knew that the slave and maid had only asked people to follow..."
"Are you stupid?" Yun Fenghuang sneered. "He has already met with my palace, can he continue to take you to see his secrets? I have to go back to my residence and settle down directly, I'm afraid in the next few days. Will follow the rules."
"Otherwise, it's been a few years. Even if my palace is not paying attention to him, I will ask every few moments, why hasn't he taken him to heart?"
With the idea of ​​what to do, Chen Jing still ordered people to keep an eye on the second prince.
But in the next two days, the second prince was honest. In addition to greeting concubine Shu in the morning and evening, he was reading and writing in his own residence. Anything suspicious.
In the past two days, Qian’s mother and daughter received Yun Fenghuang’s instructions, and once again set out some news to confirm that Shanyuanguan’s old people had survivors, and they would send news back after a few days to prove themselves. Stay alive to frighten the royal family and continue to be kind to Shanyuan.
"This is unreasonable." But Yun Fenghuang shook his head as he listened, and said, "The people of Shanyuan Temple have all been replaced long ago, even if there are survivors living outside, facing a Taoist temple that has been occupied by a dove in a magpie's nest. , Where did the sentiment come from that made them obsessed with seeking benefits for these Taoist aunts who came from other places later? Besides, since they hid so tightly, the three generations of imperial city officials failed to find a trace. It can be seen that the means city government is also extremely provocative. Yes, I don’t know the current Shanyuan Temple, but if you find any clues, you will tell the royal family? In that case, those people are fed up and give a group of people who do not have relatives or reason to occupy their Taoist Temple and work with the royal family to find them. Ask for a reward?!"
Chi E was startled, and said, "This...that's what the little Taoist aunt said. Could it be that her teacher was aware of the clues and deliberately taught her to fool us?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang meditated for a while, then said slowly, "In fact, this palace still finds it strange that the Shenzong incident has long since passed. Even if the Guanzhong elderly at the time still had any secrets, they still have it today. What's the use?"
After all, now Sejong, Shenzong, Xiaozong are all dead, and the Empress Dowager is already old.
Even if someone stepped forward, they said that Shenzong used a lot of methods and tricks to ascend the throne...what's the use?

The people in Sejong's time were all withered, and the officials on the temple had changed several batches. Maybe there were people who had pity for Queen Qu and the heirs at that time, but they must be a minority.
In this case, the royal family can veto it upright.
Characterize them as framed and framed.
Chi E whispered: "Manny, those past events, our Majesty was not born at that time, naturally it has nothing to do. But although Shenzong has gone, the empress dowager is still there! Shenzong ascended to Guido Laiji's, this is for Ji's back. Fame, I'm afraid it will make things worse?"
Although Chunjia had sent someone to deface Ji's name, they were all accusations of bribery and lawlessness.
Compared with murdering Sejong's successor, the crime of using a minister to commit a monarch is not the same in nature.
Ji’s remaining empress dowager may compromise for this?
After all, over the years, many rewards have been the responsibility of the Empress Dowager, and it seems that they are also the private accounts of the Empress Dowager. Therefore, if it is not for the second daughter of the Qian family, no one outside knows.
"Are you stupid?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at his heart, and said lightly, "Your Majesty's throne is inherited from the first emperor Xiaozong, the first emperor Xiaozong, and the first emperor Shenzong...not to mention the calculation of Queen Qu, 80% of it is Shenzong. The first emperor himself performed the sword, even if it was done by the Ji clan, based on the relationship between the Ji clan and the first emperor of Shenzong, can the first emperor of Shenzong be innocent?"
"How could your Majesty allow others to attack the Emperor Shenzong!"
This shakes the legitimacy of Chunjia's throne from the etiquette and law.
It's strange that Chunjia can tolerate it.
"But it still doesn't make sense." Yun Fenghuang said in a deep voice, "If this is the case, these fish that slip through the net are not only the empress dowager need to worry about, but also your majesty. However, the empress dowager has never Mentioned it with your Majesty? I also personally borne some expenses... Even if these expenses are not considered pressure for the Queen Mother, is the Queen Mother such a kind person? He can obviously share the burden, but he takes all of them. Come down? I'm afraid it's not my grandmother?"
She shook her head, "Don't pursue these past events anymore. They have nothing to do with us, I'm afraid they are of little use... Let's just talk about the past two years. What is the relationship between the commoner Ji Sheng and Taoism?"
Although the commoner Ji Sheng and Shan Yuanguan were close for a very grand reason, that is to ask for a child, it seems to make sense, after all, Xiaozong is really a difficult heir.
however……
It's not that there are no other Taoist temples in Qishan.
Why did Ji Sheng want to go to such a Taoist temple that has some ties to the royal family?
Especially the Empress Dowager, don't you feel that she should?
Her husband changed Shanyuan View from top to bottom!
Let your niece and daughter-in-law go to such a place and beg your grandson for yourself? ? ?
Anyway, Yun Fenghuang assumed the position of the Empress Dowager, and felt that if she was the Empress Dowager, she would definitely let Ji Sheng change his view.
Who knows if I will beg a debt collector...
"The second daughter of the Qian family also asked." Chi E said, "The little Taoist said that when the commoner Ji Sheng often went to Taoist temple, she was not born yet, so she didn't know clearly. Only the senior sisters and uncles in the Taoist temple mentioned occasionally. After a few words, it is said that after Ji Sheng went, he was actually not very religious, but in private, some outsiders are common."
Seeing Yun Fenghuang raised her eyebrows, her voice was even lower, "The maidservant asked the person who passed the message, saying that all Ji Sheng saw were women. They were all young and old. There were all three teachers and nine students, noble ladies and jugglers. Actors, city ladies, family members of the squires... It seems to be summoned at random, and the number of people is extremely large. Sometimes, there are several groups of people in a day, and even meals are delayed. At that time, many Taoists in the Taoist temple were very puzzled, but Frightened by Ji Sheng's honorable status, she didn't dare to say anything. The Empress Dowager also blamed Ji Sheng several times for this. The aunts and nephews seemed to have had a dispute in private... Then Ji Sheng retreated a lot."
Yun Fenghuang pondered: "Are you sure they are all women?"
Maybe someone pretends to be a woman...
But this idea was quickly rejected by Chi E: "At that time, Ji Sheng was in front of the empress dowager. If outsiders want to see Ji Sheng, they have to go through layers of inspections and even body searches."
Oh that's all right.
No matter how much the empress dowager loves her niece and daughter-in-law, she will definitely not let her cuckold her son.
"It should be to cover people's eyes and ears." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "As for Ji Sheng's identity at the time, even if he is interested in people who teach and teach, he still has to meet them if he doesn't have a good meal. My palace guessed, Ji Sheng It should be someone who wants to contact, or someone who wants to help her pass the news. But she has the eyes and ears of the queen dowager around her, which is inconvenient, so she has to call outsiders frequently so that the people of the queen dowager can't handle it and give her Opportunity to achieve purpose."
Then the problem comes again.
Why did Ji Sheng hide the truth from the Queen Mother?
She and the empress dowager are both aunts and nephews and mother-in-laws. Judging from her lifetime, the empress dowager treated her well.
If it was the fault of the common murder and arson to murder the emperor's heir, the Queen Mother would only help her conceal the plea, and there would be no possibility of letting her go.
In a sense, the Empress Dowager was even more reliable to Ji Sheng than Xiaozong.
After all, Xiaozong might have moved to another love, perhaps because he couldn't fight the Ji clan and moved his anger to Ji Sheng...The Empress Dowager was Ji Sheng's most steadfast backer.
"It seems that it is not enough to rely on Shanyuan Guan." The old people who learned that Shanyuan Guan had been replaced, and the remaining ones were also missing. Although they frightened the royal family, they disappeared. Shanyuan Guan was in Yun Fenghuang's eyes. The importance level suddenly dropped a lot, and she sighed lightly, "We still have to take the initiative in this palace."
