"In my opinion, Uncle Zong is bound to die this time. Such a big thing happened. Not only the father was furious, but also the Queen Mother was alarmed. Even if he doesn't die, I'm afraid Uncle Zong's title will change hands." Li Xuanmin said softly.
A few people fell silent, and the lives and deaths of Xiaofu Wang and Zongbo seemed to no longer matter.
Prince Xiao Fu is better off, but he died and his uncle was convicted. The vacant posts of Shaoqing of the Inspection Department and Counselor of the Privy Council need to be carefully considered, especially in the Inspection Department, it is best to
It would be better not to let Li Luo dominate alone, so as not to cause further trouble.
"But Xuanlou asked for seven days from the Emperor Father and the Queen Mother. Isn't it just for the sake of going through the motions and then beheading Mr. Yang?" Li Xuanze asked puzzledly.
Li Xuanying's face condensed, and he smiled indifferently and said: "What else can we do? After all, Yang Wanli is from Xuanlou, so it is appropriate to show off for him.
However, Xuanlou has a great reputation and is equally unreasonable in this matter. How can the prince's face be better than that of the emperor? If my father takes back his holy mandate, then Xuanlou will not be the only one making fun of him."
"Ying'er, what are you talking about?" Suddenly a female voice came from far away and called out.
Li Xuanying and others hurriedly turned around and saw the palace manager, several human rights concubines coming hand in hand. Among them were three people, Concubine Yun Gui, Concubine Yu Xian, and Li Xuanying's biological mother Xi Zhaorong.
This Concubine Xi was originally Zhaorong, but now, after Li Xuanying's death, among the princes, Li Xuanying was the eldest, so Emperor Wanlong promoted Concubine Xi to the rank of Virtuous Concubine, making her one of the four concubines in the palace.
Another concubine who had been vacant for many years has also been filled. She is Chang Ting Liao, the daughter of Chang Yuan, the Duke of Wei, the hussar general of the dynasty.
This girl is different from the beautiful ladies in the boudoir in Zhuo City. I heard that she is good at bowing, horse riding, and shooting, and she is a hero among women. I don’t know what the emperor Wanlong’s temper has changed. He actually changed his previous preferences and brought her into the palace, so he gave her a concubine. However,
The word "Shu" for "Shu Concubine" seems to have nothing to do with this newly promoted concubine of power in the harem.
Li Xuanying and others hurriedly saluted and responded in unison: "My sons and ministers, please see the noble concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine."
"Get up and talk." Perhaps because a mother is more valuable than her son, Concubine Xi wiped away all her years of caution and replied in a harmonious and graceful voice.
"Yes." Li Xuanying and others stood aside and let the imperial concubines enter the pavilion.
The pearls and jade crackled, carrying a gust of fragrant wind. Concubine Yun glanced at Li Xuanze, who was standing silently behind several people, and asked harmoniously: "I wonder what the princes are talking about?"
"Nothing to talk about, just a few gossips." Li Xuanying replied respectfully.
Concubine Yun pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It seems that we are disturbing the enjoyment of the princes' sightseeing."
"Your Majesty's words are serious. The scenery of Yue Zhu Lake is beautiful. Since the beginning of autumn, the lake has become even more beautiful. It has kept us here for a long time. Perhaps we have disturbed the interest of some of our Majesties."
"The scenery of Yue Zhu Lake is beautiful. Only the few of us can see it. It doesn't matter if we look at it more or less. There is no need to disturb it."
"Why don't you see your father?"
"Your father slept late last night and is feeling sleepy today. Sister Yun has just served the Holy Lord to rest, so I decided to come over and take a look at the autumn scenery of Yue Zhu Lake." Concubine Xi said softly.
"Ah, my father has many things to do, so don't be exhausted. I will go visit my father later in the day." Li Xuanying said anxiously.
"As long as Ying'er has your heart, let's talk about it at dinner time. Don't disturb your father now."
"Yes, I know."
Concubine Yun's beautiful eyes moved around, she glanced at the princes present, and asked harmoniously: "Xuanlou didn't come?"
"No, Ninth Brother is probably very busy at this time and has no time to enter the palace." Li Xuanying said respectfully.
"Busy?" Concubine Yun smiled faintly and said, "Why do I hear that Xuanlou is very busy every time? Is he the only busy person in the Dagan court?"
There was a hint of sarcasm and dissatisfaction in Concubine Yun's words. Everyone in the room was stunned. Since Concubine Yun entered the palace, Li Luo has always been very respectful to Concubine Yun. For Concubine Yun to reach her current status, speaking of it, she is not the same as Li Luo.
It has nothing to do with the response. Why is Concubine Yun complaining now?
"Well, uncle Zong has been in trouble recently. My ninth brother is the inspector general. He can't stay out of the matter anyway. It's normal to work too hard. Please tell me." Li Xuanci replied respectfully.
"Oh, does Xuanlou really want to overturn the case for Uncle Zong? He forced Prince Xiaofu to death. Without implicating the nine clans, the emperor is already kind-hearted, but he is very ignorant." Concubine Yun said coldly.
No one could guess the meaning of Concubine Yun's words. Whether she was deliberately testing everyone present or creating a gap with Li Luo. However, one was the prince of Da Gan who held military and political power, and the other was the emperor's favorite concubine. It was inconvenient to offend either of them.
, can only be vague.
"What Sister Yun is saying is that I think this uncle is a bit arrogant. The investigation has almost reached the Emperor. I'm afraid that in the long run, even we will be subject to the Inspection Department." Concubine Xi said with an unhappy look.
Li Xuanying coughed lightly and said: "Xuanlou has a sense of proportion in doing things. Xuanlou must know the importance of this kind of thing."
Concubine Xi was startled and said nothing more. Concubine Yun smiled lightly and said: "Sister, let's not ask anymore. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Asking too many questions would be bad. Let them worry about things outside the palace. Let's serve the emperor well.
That’s it.”
"What Sister Yun is saying is, no wonder the emperor loves my sister so much. She entered the palace so many years ago, but you still can't see her clearly." Concubine Xi said with a gentle smile.
"It's just a casual question, and it doesn't count as interfering in politics. This matter has been making a big fuss a few days ago, and it's hard not to hear it. It's finally coming to an end. As soon as the Ninth Prince came back, he asked the emperor to adjourn the trial for seven days. He didn't know that these seven days
Something will happen in the meantime." Concubine Yu Xian said regretfully.
"The evidence for this matter is conclusive. There are both witnesses and material evidence. Plus, what else could happen if Prince Fu committed suicide unjustly? His Highness Ninth Prince is asking for trouble." Concubine Yun said calmly.
"But Ninth Brother always makes decisions before taking action. Wasn't it the same when he quelled the Grand Master's rebellion?" Li Xuanmin couldn't help but defend.
"Hey, if it's the ninth brother, it's really hard to tell." Li Xuanze said with a smile.
Several people looked slightly stunned, and couldn't help but secretly guess how this matter would have changed if it was Li Luo.
"I heard that Xuanlou went to the Privy Council?" Concubine Yun suddenly asked.
Li Xuanying and Li Xuanci looked at each other, puzzled by the meaning of Concubine Yun's question. Li Xuanci replied respectfully: "Yes, Xuanlou has reviewed the official documents of the Privy Council in the past three months."
Concubine Yun said lightly, with a playful look on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.
At this moment, the well pavilion of Yuezhu Lake was filled with a strange and unspeakable smell.
