Chapter 55
: I am a noble concubine but I am not in a position of power (30)
The situation in the harem has been turbulent recently, and there are faint rumors that the emperor wants to abolish Concubine Shen because of Concubine Shen's moral character.
Sure enough, someone in the court today suggested that the concubine should be abolished.
"Your Majesty, An's arrogance has reached such an extent. Does the Emperor really not intend to deal with An's?" An old minister knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to execute An Yiran.
Qin Zhi looked back and saw that he was from the Yu family. No wonder he wished An Yiran would die soon.
Qin Wenchang's look was obviously that he was thinking about it. After thinking about it, he still asked aloud: "Do all your beloved ministers think so?"
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
A large number of people fell to their knees. Now the An family left the court, and the Feng family followed closely. No one could protect her now.
Qin Wenchang still didn't say anything because Qin Zhi was standing in front.
Qin Wenchang cast his eyes on Qin Zhi, as if waiting for Qin Zhi's opinion.
"No." Qin Zhi stepped forward slightly, but did not kneel down, which did not cause any dissatisfaction from Qin Wenchang.
"The Northern Territory is currently in turmoil, and there is no one available in the court except the Yun family and his son. If we want to pacify the Northern Territory in one fell swoop, we may have to rely on this noble concubine."
Qin Zhi looked at the corner, and Feng Xiaoqi understood what he meant.
"Your Majesty, Feng Xiaoqi." Feng Xiaoqi planned to give Qin Wenchang a way out, "I believe that no matter what happens, the husband and wife are gracious to each other for a hundred days, and the ministers have no right to control the emperor's family affairs. Therefore, we still have to investigate and alleviate the problem."
The conflict between the empress and the emperor."
"The emperor's family affairs are state affairs!" The old man of the Yu family was determined to die in An Yiran today.
"If the emperor does not intend to deal with the imperial concubine, then I am willing to spill blood in the court!"
The old man of the Yu family took out a dagger and put it against his neck, as if he was going to sacrifice his life for the country.
"I won't bother Prime Minister Yu about this." Qin Zhi twisted his hand away, and the dagger in his hand fell directly to the ground.
"Bring a murderous weapon into the court hall and behead him according to the law. If anyone comes, drag him down."
There was no hope in Old Man Yu's cloudy eyes. He just wanted to force the emperor to submit, but he didn't expect that he actually lost his life.
This old man is really stubborn. After he finished speaking, anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see that the emperor needs a step down.
As a result, someone gave the emperor a step, and he still wanted to be aggressive. If he didn't die today, he would be doomed sooner or later.
After retiring from the imperial court, Qin Zhi and Qin Wenchang traveled in the same boat together.
"What's the matter with the Emperor's brother?"
"Yes, that's why I came to tell the emperor brother that the imperial concubine cannot be killed. Otherwise, I would be too lazy to go to court, fearing that the emperor would execute Concubine Shen right away. As a result, the emperor brother came to tell the emperor brother after he retired from the court.
At this time, the emperor is in a dilemma."
"The emperor's brother is still considerate."
Qin Zhi handed a folded piece of paper to Qin Wenchang.
Qin Wenchang opened it and looked at it without saying a word.
Inside are the men and horses in the northern border, as well as the distribution and stationing of the troops. As long as we have this map, there is no need to worry about solving the current problem.
"I wonder when is the best time to ask An Jia to come out?"
"In late August, there will definitely be a shortage of food in the north, so they will naturally attack everywhere, and Da Qin is a fat sheep in their eyes."
Qin Wenchang was not afraid of the pain in his hands and handed Qin Zhi a bowl of cooked lotus seeds.
Qin Wenchang admitted that although Qin Zhi was modest, he was indeed inferior to him in everything.
Fortunately, Qin Zhi doesn't want this world. He thinks it would be too troublesome, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to secure this position.
The fact that he is able to hold the throne now is really thanks to Qin Zhi, who has no intention of fighting, and because his hexagrams are really accurate, so he can become a good emperor in the eyes of the world.
On An Yiran's side, she naturally knew who had harmed her and everyone, but she still didn't know how to express it.
Qin Wenchang listened to Qin Zhi's suggestion and because he relied on An Yiran, he had to clear her name.
Even if she is not innocent, she still has to be innocent.
"Weier said that day that Concubine Cheng De was the concubine who spread rumors?"
Ping Weier looked accusingly: "Ah Chang came here just to inquire about this matter. I thought Ah Chang missed me."
Qin Wenchang coaxed Ping Weier for a while before Ping Weier told what he saw and heard that day.
"There are a lot of people on that list, all of whom are close friends with Liang Chengbi, but the name of the imperial concubine is not the only one there, so I guessed that this matter might be detrimental to the imperial concubine."
Ping Weier didn't say that she was willing to reconcile with An Yiran because she didn't leave herself standing in the sun.
"But how can we be sure that those people on the list have really done this rumor?" Qin Wenchang looked at Ping Weier who was very energetic and was already writing the names of those people silently.
What kind of magical power does An Yiran have? It can make so many people turn against her and worry about her.
"Weier can't help it, and Ranran can't help it, but if it's Ah Chang, it can definitely be done!" Ping Weier thought of some strange idea and whispered to Qin Wenchang quietly.
"Weier still has more ideas."
The two lingered for a while, and Qin Wenchang went to the womb of another concubine.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The women inside happily came out to greet him.
"Why did the emperor think of coming to my concubine's palace today?"
"Is there any place in this palace that I can't go to?" Qin Wenchang walked in with a cold face.
"Hu Meiren, do you want me to ask you, or do you want to recruit it yourself?"
She clearly looked panicked, and Qin Wenchang was not a fool. He could see her expression clearly.
"What is the emperor talking about? Why can't I understand?"
"I didn't want to say anything ugly. Since you didn't mention anything about spreading rumors about Concubine Shen, then go to Ye Ting and think about it carefully."
She hurriedly knelt down and told the story one by one. She thought that he wanted to clear up the grievances of the noble concubine. It seemed that even though Liang Chengbi made the concubine De, the favor was still not as good as that of An Yiran.
Then it's not worth risking her life and fortune to protect her.
So Qin Wenchang planned to punish Liang Chengbi with a small punishment but a large warning. If he really wanted to punish Liang Chengbi in full, I'm afraid the entire harem would be demoted.
"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress!" The eunuch next to Qin Wenchang came over to convey the message, saying that the person who spread the rumor had been caught and her innocence had been restored.
"Your Majesty, Madam Liang has been locked up in the palace by the Emperor's order. What should I do with her? The Emperor said that I should leave her alone."
"I want to see her, bring her here."
It took a while before the eunuch replied, saying that Mrs. Liang had run to Fengyi Palace and that several maids could not hold her back.
"Please, my queen, please move."
"It's okay, I'll go and see what she's up to."
An Yiran once again set foot in Fengyi Palace. Except for the maids and eunuchs who were responsible for daily cleaning, the former glory was no longer the same.
She heard someone breaking things inside and knew it was Liang Chengbi.
In just ten steps, she seemed to have walked through the past twenty years.
Her close relatives and friends left, and there was a powerful emperor who never truly loved her.
There are the joining of former enemies and the betrayal of former friends.
Inside, a group of palace maids were arresting Liang Chengbi, who looked like a crazy woman with disheveled hair.
