Vol 5 Chapter 223: Sun Yu's cause of death


Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Three
Seeing Yun Fenghuang's expression slightly stunned, the corners of the empress dowager's mouth became more and more fascinating, and said quietly: "The Imperial City Division is the eyes and ears of the emperor of the country, and is also a sharp sword for the emperor to restrain the officials and supervise the world. However, in the hands of today. …This sword is too blunt, isn’t it?"
"...It turns out that the Emperor Shenzong relied on and trusted the Imperial City Division?" Yun Fenghuang was a little surprised for a while. The Imperial City Division's performance over the years is indeed very sorry for their reputation in the historical records.
Slowly speaking, the fascination of the officials has changed, and it is often the messenger that many emperors have personally explained.
Even Sun Yu, the last secretary of the imperial city, is still dead so far!
To be honest, it feels like an ordinary yamen.
Yun Fenghuang didn’t doubt that they could not do it in private, but considering that Huang Chengji was passed to the regent in an exceptional manner before Xiaozong’s death, afterwards, Chunjia ascended the throne and tried every means to regain some control from the regent. The uncle and nephew had been in charge for several years before they were completely returned to the emperor's hands.
No matter how powerful, after such a toss, the vitality is greatly injured, it is also a matter of excuse.
Not to mention that Gong Xiangxiao had previously revealed that when the Imperial City Division was in the hands of the Regent, the Regent arranged for the Yuan concubine’s family to enter and control the power. After that, the Yuan concubine died suddenly. If Gong Xiang continued to marry the Lu clan, he and the Yuan concubine’s family gradually The journey is farther away, and there must be another fight here.
It can be said that from Xiaozong's later years, the Imperial City Division has never been stable.
Therefore, when he returned to Chunjia, it was not as good as before, which is understandable.
But now it seems that the fundamental reason why Huangcheng Division failed was not because Xiaozong passed it on to his younger brother, but when Xiaozong got it, it was probably the Huangcheng Division who had been selected as the backbone?
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but suddenly realized that Xiaozong was not Shenzong's own flesh and blood. Shenzong made the decision to return to the Gongxiang clan even before his death. If this is the case, it is fine for him to upload Xiaozong on the scene, but how could he really hope that Xiaozong's throne would be stable?
The emperor’s powerful weapon for consolidating the throne of the emperor in the past did not mention that Shenzong needed their assistance to return the throne to the Gongxiang clan. He said that if it was given to Xiaozong, if he ran into a powerful one, the fake came true, and the throne was passed down from generation to generation. do?
"The Imperial City Division Xiaozong got is just an empty shell." The Empress Dowager said lightly, "Otherwise, people like the Dou family would also want to occupy a high position in it, and I would look down on the Imperial City Division too much..."
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help thinking of someone: "Dare to ask the emperor's grandmother, that Lu Chuncao, but the person of the Imperial City Division who was destined by Shenzong?"
"You are quick to respond." The Empress Dowager said, "Yes, he was the deputy of Huangcheng Division when the first emperor was there."
Lu Chuncao turned out to be just a deputy?
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help asking, "Then dare to ask who is the one who presided over the overall situation by the first emperor?"
The empress dowager did not answer this question, but instead said with a smile instead of a smile: "The Aijia thought you would ask, why did Lu Chuncao promise his righteous daughter to the regent as his step concubine?"
"Does this need to be asked?" Yun Fenghuang asked back, "Since Lu Chuncao is in charge of the predecessor of Shenzong and is loyal to Shenzong, he naturally has to control the regent and not let him sit down! Grant the righteous daughter to the regent, Not only did he eliminate the way for him to marry a noble lady and marry aristocrats, but also to monitor the regent personally to avoid small actions in private...even after the concubine gave birth to the regent, he was able to suppress the prince and avoid the prince. When he grows up, his wings are plump, forming a tendency to keep his tail big."
She felt strange at the beginning that the regent's concubine Yuan died suddenly, and she was so coincidental that it was the change of the regent's mentality, from pursuing true love to taking care of the overall situation in marriage.
In this case, it is actually a bit inappropriate to marry the righteous daughter of Qing Pinghou as a concubine.
After all, no matter how reliable Lu Chuncao was, he was born as an eunuch, and he was naturally despised by powerful scholars.
Ordinarily, it is most appropriate to give the Lu family the position of a side concubine, and marry a noble lady from a high family as the regular concubine. But not only did the regent did this, he even didn't accept any more concubines since then, and he didn't even add a few concubines, which is very outrageous.
What's the difference between this and the former concubine Yuan in Shi? But there is an additional assistant from Qingping Hou.
But in fact, Lu Chuncao didn't seem to assist him in doing anything?
And when it comes to the attitude of the two sons, it doesn't matter if the two sons are dead. The point is that there are only two sons under his knees, and none of them are praised. It is also unreasonable.
At this moment, I understand that Lu Chuncao, who seems to be the closest ally of the Regent, is actually trapping the regent's shackles!
Yun Fenghuang's thoughts turned and said, "But after the regent went, your majesty deliberately eradicated Lu Chuncao, and later the emperor grandmother came forward to save him... but he didn't know what method the emperor grandmother used to make her give up. Investigate Lu Chuncao? You can't. You told your Majesty the truth at that time?"
This should not be possible.
auzw.com If Chunjia knew Xiaozong’s life experience at that time, I’m afraid he would have already dealt with the edict in Wang Mao's hand, and would not give Wang Mao a chance to set off such a storm.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager said indifferently: "The matter of Chen Zhizhi's rotten grains, why bother later generations? The Aijia just let the emperor be forgiven and forgive."
Yun Fenghuang curiously asked, "Is your Majesty so easy to talk?"
"The regent went abruptly, the government and the people always suspected the emperor." The empress dowager said calmly, "Lu Chuncao was born as an eunuch. As long as he loses the royal appreciation, it is not a fear. Killing him is meaningless. Keeping him is actually possible. To a certain extent, the suspicion of the emperor is washed away, isn't it?"
This is also true.
The regent was killed by the Lu clan. If Lu clan’s adoptive father were executed, under the circumstances at that time, he might be considered the emperor’s murderer.
If you keep it, it really seems that the emperor has a clear conscience.
However, as far as Yun Fenghuang's understanding of Chunjia is concerned, I am afraid that these reasons are not enough to convince him.
Most of the emperor will continue to monitor Lu Chuncao?
She thought about it, and continued to ask: "The imperial grandmother mentioned the Imperial City Division just now... but she didn't know who Sun Yu was killed?"
There was a lot of trouble at the time, and Yun Fenghuang was also quite surprised. After all, no matter how defeated, Huangcheng Division was Huangcheng Division after all.
The culprit who was ordered to thoroughly investigate the palace change incident was fruitless, and even took his own life. This is really...
Unheard of.
"Did you not hear the details after Sun Yu was killed at that time?" The Queen Mother heard the words and looked at her expression, but she was a little weird, and said slowly, "He actually found some clues, but not only was killed himself, but also investigated. Whatever arrived, it also flew away! Why didn't the Imperial City Secretary find any clues in the situation at that time, but instead gave others the opportunity to murder him?"
Yun Fenghuang was stunned, and subconsciously said, "I'm afraid it's because the results of the investigation are too shocking?"
"But he is the emissary of the imperial city." The empress dowager said with a smile, "the emperor was still urging, no matter how horrible it is, the emperor still calls the shots. Why is he panicking?"
"Then it has something to do with him?" Yun Fenghuang guessed.
The Empress Dowager shook her head slightly and said: "The Imperial City Division has been in the hands of the regent, even if it is mixed with sand, the emperor can understand it, after all, it was not long before the regent died at that time. This is not enough for him to repeatedly urge the emperor to urge the result. When he hesitated, the greatest possibility was that the answer he found out made him afraid to tell the emperor."
Yun Fenghuang was surprised: "Why is this?"
"Are you pretending to be confused or do you really have never thought of it until now?" The empress dowager impatiently said with a sarcasm, "Since Sun Yu is the imperial envoy, he is naturally pleased with the ordinary officials. His impeachment was guarded by the emperor, and he was not afraid of those people. But he was the only one who held him back, worrying that after the report, he would be beaten upside down, so that he would be murdered... It is a pity that when he hesitated, he was hesitant. Instead, people seized the opportunity to eradicate..."
Yun Fenghuang's face changed drastically, and he grinned his teeth and said, "Xie Wuzheng?!"
"It's indeed what Ji Qin and the others did." The Queen Mother said with a smile, "You can be considered to have reacted? This matter, really talked about, but it is in your head. After all, the Ji family had already been destroyed at that time, and the regent had gone. In the former harem, the emperor made a decision with one word. At that time, apart from your favorite concubine who is good at reversing black and white, who else could make Sun Yu hesitate and embarrassed?"
"It's fine if he finds out other people, but he finds Xie Wuzheng, can he miss you? Can he not be afraid?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang said with a black face, "What did Ji Qin and the others do for the palace change? And what happened when the two queen mothers fell into the water at that time, did they do it, or was it the mother empress dowager?"
The empress dowager said: "The Aijia is not able to pinch and count, how can it be possible to know everything?"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang staring at him, he said faintly, "The two queen mothers who fell into the water didn't have any serious problems, but the twelve princes suffered a lot. Think about it for yourself, how did the twelve princes arrange them afterwards? "
"I stayed in the Taichu Palace for a long time." Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "The imperial grandmother means that this is an arrangement of the Gu family to bring the twelve princes close to your majesty? But it seems that your majesty does not favor the twelve princes because of this? "
The Empress Dowager said: "One time and another time. At that time, King Chongxin and the twelve princes did not grow up, I do not know Xianyu, and your majesty did not particularly value which one. But King Chongxin is older than the twelve princes, but this After the incident, your Majesty paid more attention to the twelve princes. Of course, if this fall into the water can make the mother empress dowager something, it would be even better. It is a pity that Gu’s methods are not enough. But a false alarm."
Yun Fenghuang was quite speechless. She always thought that this was the work of the mother-in-law empress dowager, and the purpose was to deal with the mother empress dowager or vice versa.
"This Gu's is really not enough to succeed." After commenting, she asked again, "What about the palace change? What is the purpose of this? Is it purely to help Ji Minggan out of trouble?"
The queen looked at the empress dowager suspiciously, "I don't know if the empress grandmother has bothered about this matter?"
