Chapter 99 100: This is going to tear your face

  Feng Yigao sat on the dragon chair, and the civil and military ministers entered the hall in two shifts.

   "Kneel!"

  With a loud singing, all the ministers paid homage to the emperor.

"rise!"

   All the ministers stood up and stood in silence.

  The hall was quiet, Feng Yi stared at the crowd without saying a word, after a brief silence, a tense atmosphere began to spread.

  Meng Jiuchang sang loudly, "Start playing if there is something to do, and retreat to the court if there is nothing to do."

  After announcing the matter again, one of the civil servants walked out of the ranks, and said loudly: "Your minister has played! Chen Shen Zhenbei Wang is not upright, acts recklessly, makes friends with other officials, and has wrong intentions. Please also be aware of the emperor!"

  As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes immediately fell on King Zhenbei, who glared at the matter, and then came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. The old minister has devoted himself to the country and fought several times. He has never violated the laws of the country, and has never made friends with other officials. Since Mr. Zhang impeached the king, he should show the evidence. Don't you think that you will say what you say if you touch your lips?"

   "Why does the king of Zhenbei pretend to be confused by pretending to be understandable? I heard that the prince of Zhenbei's mansion and Zuoxiang's mansion are engaged. Isn't this evidence?"

  Naturally, civil and military affairs are relatively light, and there are very few marriages between civil servants and military generals, especially the king of Zhenbei and the left minister are both important officials in the court, so the marriage of the two families is naturally of great importance.

  With regard to the marriage, spit was flying all over the court, and the left and right assistants ended one after another. The civil servants and military generals had deep grievances. At this time, the anger was ignited because of the marriage. Their eyes were burned red, and their reason was burned. They almost rolled up their sleeves and fought in the court for 300 rounds. The scene was quite exciting.

  When Song Yunzhao got the news here, they left early in the morning, but they were still too shocked to speak for a long time.

  She did not expect that the marriage between Zhenbei Wangfu and Zuoxiangfu would cause such a big commotion.

   This inevitably made her think deeply, civil and military are more important than others, she had this concept in her mind, but before today's incident, she did not expect such a big conflict.

  Impeach King Zhenbei for marriage with Zuo Xiangfu?

   It’s a joke no matter how you look at it, but if you dig deeper, the bottom line is that the right minister can’t tolerate more left ministers, and the in-laws of Zhenbei Wangfu have an extra powerful arm.

  Before this, the marriage must have been prevented, but it must have been unsuccessful, so this was directly impeached in the court.

   The left and right two phases, this is going to tear the face.

   Then what should she do?

   She must not miss such a great opportunity.

  She tried her best to think about the plot in the book, but the book mentioned all the battles in the court, and mainly talked about the heroine's promotion journey in the harem.

  She vaguely remembered that after Qin Xiyue had an affair with Concubine Lu, the Prime Minister had impeached the Grand Tutor, which made Qin Xiyue have a difficult time in the palace.

   Later, the heroine fought back and caught the handle of the right minister. What is the handle of the right minister?

  The more anxious Song Yunzhao became, the more he couldn't remember, and she was so mad.

  Xiangxue and the others looked at the master in a bad mood, and everyone dared not speak easily for fear of disturbing the master's thoughts.

right!

  Song Yunzhao remembered that this year Qiu Wei, the right minister, also served as the chief examiner, and leaked the exam questions to make huge profits. This matter was done very secretly, and it was not revealed by the heroine until a few years later.

  This year's autumn...

  There are two candidates in her family. If the test questions are leaked to the right-handed people, wouldn't the other candidates be in bad luck?

  But it's not yet Qiuwei, even if she knows, she can't expose the matter, after all, it hasn't happened yet.

  Song Yunzhao is really in a sour mood at the moment, but since he has already remembered this matter, he can start working ahead of time.

  Her cousin and cousin-in-law have to refer to it. If they want to impress the imperial court and stand out from the candidates, this big crisis is also a good opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

  Song Yunzhao's mind was spinning rapidly. If she had to wait for a step-by-step promotion, she would get the year of the monkey. Now that such a good opportunity is presented to her, of course she must seize it.

  Song Yunzhao's heart jumped up and down, excited.

   This matter needs to be well planned, and only the uncle and father can't do it, and you have to find helpers.

   After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be Qiu Wei, and there is not much time left for him.

  At this time, candidates from all over the country have already gone to Beijing to wait for the exam, so the exam questions should already be in operation.

   This matter is very important, she can't write the letter, if the letter falls into the hands of others, it will be very detrimental to her, but she just saw her eldest aunt a few days ago, and she can't let her enter the palace again this time.

   "Call Anshun."

   "Yes." Xiangxue immediately responded and turned to teach Anshun.

  Anshun came very quickly, and saluted as soon as he entered the hall, "I have seen the master, what is the master's order?"

  Song Yunzhao looked at Anshun and said: "Autumn is coming, my cousin and cousin-in-law have to refer to it, I am very concerned, you go out of the palace to inquire about the situation of this year's autumn, you must inquire carefully and seriously."

  Anshun immediately said: "Yes."

   "Go." Song Yunzhao waved his hand, Anshun is a smart man, he must be able to find out something.

  As long as he can find out the clues, it will be easy for her here.

  She found that she was really lucky. This year, there was someone in the family to refer to, otherwise, there would be no good chance for the matter to be exposed.

  After arranging the matter, Song Yunzhao was in a good mood, and called Madam Yu to ask, "Is there any result in the impeachment of King Zhenbei?"

  Nurse Yu shook her head, "There is no news from Mr. Zhang, so it should take a few days for this to happen."

  Song Yunzhao nodded slightly, the more violent the disturbance, the better. In this way, the courtiers would not be able to take care of outside affairs, which happened to be convenient for her to act.

  Before she always wanted to help, but she found that she had neglected someone. Isn’t the emperor who most wanted to eradicate dissidents in the court?

  If she really finds the evidence and directly asks the emperor to be his assistant, wouldn't she be able to help the emperor get rid of dissidents?

  Thinking of this, Song Yunzhao's heart beat violently for a while.

  The heart of the emperor who wants to conquer is no longer the most useful thing to assist him in winning the real power that originally belonged to the emperor.

  However, you have to think carefully about how to operate it. You can't get the right equal person down, so that the emperor will feel jealous of her.

   Tut.

  It's hard to be a good person.

   With this major event on his head, the emperor hadn’t entered the harem for several days because of the impeachment, and Song Yunzhao couldn’t care less about it. Anshun went out of the palace every day, but he couldn’t find any useful news, and he didn’t dare to show his face in front of Jieyu for a while.

  After much deliberation, Anshun decided to go to find Mr. Song and his master's cousin, Mr. Zhong.

  Since the master said that there was someone at home for reference, Anshun found out who the reference was. Now he has no clue, but as a student preparing for the exam, he might know something he didn't know.

   Anshun went to find someone, but he didn't expect that Mr. Zhong had not arrived in Beijing, so he could only go to Song Yanran first.

   This is the first time Song Zhenran saw Anshun, and he was startled when he heard that he was the steward next to his cousin, "But what does Jieyu want?"

  Anshun said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry, the master knows that the eldest son needs to refer to it, so he specially asked the servants to come over and see if the young master needs help."

  Song Yanran was suspicious, thought about it seriously, and then shook his head, "Everything is well prepared at home, and I asked my father-in-law to convey it on my behalf. Jieyu, please don't worry."

   Anshun quickly responded, and then said: "My lord, have you had any contact with those who came to Beijing for the exam recently? Autumn is approaching, so you should relax a bit, and go out for a walk."

  Song Yanran frowned slightly, what does Yun Zhao mean?

   Could it be that she knew something, but couldn't say it clearly?

  Song Yanran was suspicious, looked at Anshun and asked, "Does Jieyu have any other instructions?"

  Anshun shook his head, and then said with a smile: "If something happens to the eldest son, let someone send a message to the servant." As he spoke, he handed him a waist card, and then told him how to contact him.

  Song Xunran hesitated for a moment and took it, nodding in response.

  After sending Anshun away, Song Xunran put away his badge and waited until today's class was over before going to the backyard to see his mother.

  The eldest lady is busy with Song Hongjiao's dowry, the dowries of several daughters have been prepared long ago, there are naturally differences between the concubine and concubine, but with Yun Zhao's reward, Hongjiao's dowry is very decent.

   I checked the dowry list in the past two days, and Hongjiao will get married in a few days, so these few days are really busy.

  Hearing his son came to greet him, the eldest lady was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly let him in, and said with a smile: "Is this from the school?"

  Song Yanran nodded, "Yes, my son has something he wants to discuss with his mother."

  The eldest lady saw her son's solemn expression, and asked the people around her to retreat, and then said: "What happened? Qiu Wei is right in front of you. If you have something to say, you must tell your mother, and you must not hide it."

  Song Zhenran knew the seriousness, nodded slightly, and then said: "Today, Jieyu sent the steward beside her to see her son..."

  After hearing what her son said, the eldest lady didn't understand what Yun Zhao was going to do for a while, she thought about it carefully and said: "If that's the case, then you should go out for a walk more, and your brother-in-law and sister will be here in two days, and you can find out more about the exam, so you can talk to your brother-in-law. Maybe Jieyu is worried that you only know how to study behind closed doors, and that's why she reminded you to go out."

  Song Zhenran heard what his mother said as he thought, nodded, and then said: "Eunuch An gave the waist card to his son, and he can let him know if something happens."

  The lady's brows jumped, her face became more solemn, she looked at her son and said, "When you go out, you must bring a long-term follower with you, at least two."

  Song Yanran felt that his mother was making a big fuss, but in order not to worry her, he nodded and agreed, "Then son, how many days off will he take with his husband first?"

   "I'll talk about it." The eldest lady said, "Speaking of which, the candidates who came to Beijing for the exam should all live near the Gongyuan. Let someone go and inquire about it first, and you can go there tomorrow."

  Song Xunran agreed, and seeing his mother got up and left without any other orders.

   After watching her son leave, the eldest lady always felt that things were not easy. That child Yunzhao had always been cautious in doing things, but now she let Paran get in touch with Juzi more, there must be her intentions.

  However, Yun Zhao didn’t say anything, that is, this matter cannot be clearly stated, but what is it?

  The eldest lady was anxious. She didn't dare to show it because she was afraid of affecting her son, and her husband was not around, so she called the mother in charge, "After a while, it will be Autumn, and I am very worried. Mama Qian, ask your husband and son to inquire about the affairs of this year's autumn.

  Mother Qian didn't think too much about it, thinking that the eldest lady was only worried about the matter of the eldest son and eldest son-in-law Qiu Wei, and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, the old slave will let my head inquire carefully, and I will never miss the matter."

  The lady nodded, "Go."

  After Mama Qian retired, the eldest lady decided to go back to her mother's house after much deliberation.

  Yun Zhao is not a troublesome person. Asking the manager around her to go to see Yue Yue instead of coming to see her, it means that she doesn't want more people to know about this matter, and there must be something unspeakable.

  But she didn't know much information, so she went back to her mother's house to inquire about it.

  Since Yun Zhao didn't want people to know, she naturally wouldn't mention her at her natal family. Fortunately, her son-in-law is coming to Beijing, so it won't be abrupt when she goes back to ask Qiu Wei.

  The eldest lady changed her clothes and took someone out. Unexpectedly, she saw Mrs. Cai coming this way. She frowned. She really didn't want to see her, but she couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to.

   Seeing the lady's outfit, Mrs. Cai asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, are you still going out so late?"

  The eldest lady nodded slightly, "The third sibling is here at this time, what's the matter?"

   Mrs. Cai looked at the indifferent expression of the eldest lady, and was unhappy in her heart when she spoke in a way that was evasive. She couldn't help showing a little bit on her face, and said lightly: "The marriage between Qinghan and Wuxinhou's mansion has been decided. I want to send someone to Wuxinhou's mansion to measure the house, so I will discuss with my sister-in-law who should go."

  Families with wealthier families will prepare a house full of furniture, tables, chairs, benches, beds, etc. for their daughters, so it is necessary to measure the size, so as not to be too big or too small to look bad and lose face.

  For example, Song Lirong and Song Hongjiao did not have such furniture for their dowry. Although the Song family has a good family background, they have many children, not only marrying daughters but also marrying wives.

   Cai knew about preparing these great wives for Song Qinghan, but knowing that Gui knew it, he was still very disgusted in his heart, and didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he said directly: "Third siblings, Hongjiao's marriage is earlier than Qinghan's. I really can't handle it here. Third siblings should watch and prepare for Qinghan's affairs. There are many capable people around you, no matter who goes, they can handle it properly."

   Mrs. Cai had expected that the eldest lady would not help, so she said: "Since sister-in-law said so, I can't force it. There is something I want to ask sister-in-law for help. I know that sister-in-law got a piece of high-quality suet jade a few days ago. I don't know if you can let me use it first. I will find a good one and return it to sister-in-law later."

  The eldest lady's face became even uglier when she heard the words. She didn't expect that Cai's idea was to buy that piece of jade. She was going to ask a craftsman to make a pair of bracelets and send it to Yun Zhao during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

  The few times she saw Yun Zhao these few times, she tossed and turned only a few bracelets on her hands. She was afraid that she would be ridiculed by the concubine for being too shabby, so she asked her natal family to find this piece of jade. She didn't expect Cai's idea of ​​this piece of jade.

  The eldest lady suppressed her anger, looked at Cai and said, "Third siblings, it's not that I don't want to give up, but that I want to use this piece of jade in a hurry. Qinghan's dowry is already rich enough, and I see that you don't need to buy anything else for her. I still have things to do, so let's go first, and the third siblings should go back earlier."

  The eldest lady left behind these words and left. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would really embarrass Cai, and it would not be good to make trouble.

   Mrs. Cai did not expect the eldest lady to refuse so simply, her face was black and black, she gritted her teeth and turned away.

   Aunt Che got the news very quickly, and while she was making clothes for the third master, she said to her daughter: "It must be the eldest lady who got the news, so I asked my wife to go to the eldest lady to ask for this piece of jade."

  Song Jinxuan was also embroidering a purse with needlework. After Song Qinghan got married, it was her turn. After marriage, purses and handkerchiefs are common things, so prepare more, so her aunt forced her to do needlework in the house.

  Hearing this, Song Jinxuan said angrily: "How dare you open your mouth like this. I look at Song Qinghan and now I really think that marrying into Marquis Wuxin's mansion will make her famous."

  Aunt Che lowered her head, "After all, it's the Hou's Mansion, and it's really nice to marry there."

   "I don't want this kind of scenery. If you enter the door, you will be a mother, and you will lose yourself." Song Jinxuan said unceremoniously, "The people who came back to Wuxinhou's mansion came to our mansion, and the people who served Mrs. Hou's side were overheard when they spoke in private. People can say that the birth mother of the **** is impossible to send away. Now the promise is happy, but it's just a lip service."

  Aunt Che raised her head and glanced at her daughter, "Don't say these things outside, just know it in your heart."

   "I won't say, when I went to my wife to say hello this morning, the way Qinghan Song looked at me made people uncomfortable, and she must have no good intentions. Auntie, you have to ask my father to make decisions about my marriage, or my wife will definitely betray me."

   "Don't worry, I've already told you about the master." Aunt Che said with her head down, "When the master comes back, I'll ask the master to arrange a marriage for you quickly, and I'll be at ease when you get married. However, these days, you have to suppress your temper, don't let your wife and Song Qinghan catch you, and bear with it if you can."

   "I know." Song Jinxuan responded with suppressed anger, otherwise what else could be done, her father is not in Beijing, if she really angered his wife, she might do something.

  Song Jinxuan thought of this, stopped the needle and thread in her hand, looked at her aunt and said, "Auntie, you said that Wu Xinhou's mansion is so anxious to let Song Qinghan marry, is there any other reason? Last time, why did the people around Mrs. Wu Xinhou be sure that the birth mother of the concubine would not be kicked out?"

  Aunt Che was stunned when she heard her daughter's words, and looked up at her daughter, "I always thought that Wuxinhou's mansion was because of the marriage arranged by Jieyu. Now hearing what you say, maybe it's not just because of this."

  Song Jinxuan frowned in disgust, "Auntie already said that Jieyu and Qinghan Song had already fallen out, but their marriage is still going on, and I also feel something is wrong. But Auntie is a formidable person, and now the news has spread, and now who doesn't know that Song Qinghan was sent out from the palace because she harmed the younger sister of a fellow mother. Now that people outside know the truth, they won't blame Jieyu for not being a sister."

  Aunt Che was thoughtful, she didn't hear her daughter's words for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "There is only one thing that can make Mrs. Wu Xinhou agree not to kick out the biological mother of the bastard."

   "What is it?" Song Jinxuan asked.

   "It must be that girl's stomach again."

  Song Jinxuan was startled, "Auntie, you can't talk nonsense."

  Aunt Che snorted, "I've been your father's concubine for so many years. Even though I gave birth to your siblings, I'm still a servant in the Song family. The maidservant of the Hou's mansion must be a powerful one. She can protect the eldest son after giving birth. She doesn't know that if the mistress comes in, she will be an eyesore. She will definitely be kicked out so that the new wife can't interfere."

  Song Jinxuan has never encountered such a thing before, but after hearing what Auntie said, she actually thinks it makes sense.

   "If you want to keep her, you can only have another one. For the sake of the child in your womb, she will be kept." Aunt Che muttered to herself, "The son of the Hou family must like her very much. With this child, he can keep her in front of Mrs. Hou. Otherwise, why did Mrs. Hou choose Song Qinghan to come in?

  Song Jinxuan was taken aback for a while.

  Aunt Che laughed, "I said that there was something wrong with the people who looked at Wu Xinhou's mansion that day, and now I finally figured it out."

   "Auntie, this is just our speculation, it may not be true."

  Aunt Che disagreed, "The life of being a concubine is worthless. If you want to keep yourself, you have to rely on your stomach and love. The birth mother of the concubine in Marquis Wuxin's mansion is also very powerful. Look, Song Qinghan must have had a hard time when she married."

  Aunt Che was happy just thinking about it, and said to Song Jinxuan, "You must be well-behaved in front of your wife these few days, and if Song Qinghan deliberately provokes you, you must endure it, and make sure she gets married smoothly. I'll just wait and see when their mother and daughter cry in the future, just watch."

  Seeing the fire in Auntie's eyes, Song Jinxuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, you can't do anything. Jieyu is very concerned about her younger brother's studies now, and she will surely have a bright future in the future. If you do something that will implicate her younger brother, with Jieyu's temperament, she will definitely not care."

  After hearing what her daughter said, the fire in Aunt Che's eyes went out instantly. What a pity, she still wanted to add to the fire.

   "Forget it, Auntie will listen to you and do nothing." Aunt Che said.

  Song Jinxuan felt relieved, "When I find a chance to see my brother, I will remind him."

  Aunt Che shook her head, "Your younger brother is now studying with the head of the house, which is much better than before. Let's not see him often, or Madam will be unhappy if he finds out. If it makes things difficult for him, we can't help him if your father is not around."

  Song Jinxuan also sighed and nodded lazily.

  I only hope that my younger brother will be successful in his studies in a few years and come back as a Jinshi. Only then can she and my aunt really stand up.

  Aunt Che comforted her daughter, but she secretly went to see the eldest lady at night. She couldn't do anything, but the eldest lady could.

   Happy weekend, six thousand words, thank you for your support.
