Chapter 59: Three people become tigers, and everyone wins gold
I don't know where the rumors came from. Everyone was saying that the Lu family was warning the emperor to vent their anger on the consort, Lu Yanzhi.
The Lu family was originally dissatisfied with the fact that a princess with a humble biological mother was marrying their most beloved second son. Now Lu Yanzhi is being wronged everywhere in the princess's mansion. He was seriously injured and almost died. After finally raising her, he has to go back to the princess's mansion. It is said that Lu's mother is so distressed that she almost wants to die. Hit the princess.
Then the news that Lu Yanzhi was injured on his face also came out, saying that the princess hit Lu Yanzhi because the Queen Mother was frightened, directly scratching Lu Yanzhi's face, and that the princess had directly slashed the consort with a knife.
Regardless of the order of things, Lu Yanzhi was wronged anyway. The Lu family was powerful, how could they not support their son?
So, to sum up, the Lu family has an absolute motive to do this, especially since Lu Yanzhi's father is still the Minister of Rites. He can just do it casually, find a scapegoat, and stay out of it. .
Fang Wenfu, the doctor in the Ministry of Rites, is obviously the scapegoat. Didn't you see that the Fang family was everywhere complaining about injustice?
Three people become tigers, and many people speak of gold.
Even if this thing was originally false, but everyone said so, and there is still some specious 'truth', then in the end, the falsehood will become true. Even if it is as big as the Lu family, it is impossible to block everyone. human mouth.
A total of three people died at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, three were seriously injured, and ten were slightly injured. There were even more people who were frightened.
Although the banquet was hosted by the emperor, the emperor was also frightened, and the queen mother fainted with fright. These people could not blame the emperor, but could only blame the mastermind behind the scenes.
It was okay if I didn't know who did it before, but now that I know, all the resentment can't be directed at the Lu family.
The Lu family said they were innocent? But who believes it now? Besides, it doesn't matter if they are innocent, their resentment must have someone to bear it. Now that the Lu family has been pushed out, can't they vent their resentment?
Especially for the three families who died, all those who could attend the banquet were of high status and status, and the young one was an outstanding descendant of the family. To die in this accident was to take the lives of three blood relatives. It was a blood feud. How can you give up?
The three people who were seriously injured could only save their lives temporarily. It’s hard to say what will happen next. How can we not hate them?
All the resentment was directed at the Lu family, but this was not enough.
Once you have strength, you must also have weapons.
Because the banquet was hosted by the queen, the queen was also responsible for such a mess. The emperor had a big fight with the queen and ordered the queen to copy scriptures to pray for the queen mother. Then the emperor favored Concubine Shu, who had always been against the queen, for two nights in a row. , this concubine Shu was the one who gave birth to the emperor’s eldest son.
Although one's own failure is hateful, but one's own failure has made the opponent successful, that is simply heart-wrenching pain.
As a queen, she has no children. The queen doesn't care, but the royal family cannot help but feel sad. Now the queen is punished, but the mother of the emperor's eldest son is favored. Concubine Shu even assists in managing the harem, and may even become a noble concubine in the future.
Seeing that the queen's status is increasingly threatened, how can the Wang family still sit still?
The Wang family actually looked down upon the emperor, but the emperor was also the son-in-law of the Wang family.
How dare that old man from the Lu family do this?
Lu family: "."
The Lu family was wronged and the Lu family was innocent. They really didn't do this, but the Lu family didn't say anything.
The arrogance of big families makes them ignore the words of ants, and the arrogance of scholars makes them disdain to engage in verbal disputes.
Therefore, when someone in the court pointed the finger at them, Lu Shoufu just said coldly and arrogantly that these were all slanderous remarks
The Lu family firmly believes that the Qing Dynasty will self-purify itself. This is a slander. There is no way that the emperor has evidence and cannot do anything to the Lu family, and then just hand over the battlefield to his vassal family and let them charge into the battle.
The Wang family was not much worse than the Lu family, but now it has the support of some people who hate the Lu family, and they are directly at odds with the Lu family. The Lu family caused the queen to be punished and the Wang family was disgraced. There was no way this matter could be settled like this.
Besides, it's up to the Wang family to take the position of the first aristocratic family.
The two factions in the court were quarreling fiercely, and the neutral faction watched the show in silence. The emperor had a headache, but he was happy to see the results.
This court hall is rarely full of vitality.
I have to say that his imperial sister is quite capable. It is only the fifth day. If this momentum continues, it may not be surprising that the Lu family can really disappear.
He was also curious about how the imperial sister, a princess with little power, could bring down the Lu family, but he didn't expect that she would use her strength to bring all the hatred to the Lu family.
At this time, it was no longer important how the lion was released. What was important was that it must have been done by the Lu family.
The emperor approved of everything Xiao Li had done so far, but the next step would be very difficult for him.
She wants him, the emperor, to show weakness to the Wang family. If a dignified emperor pretends to be pitiful in front of a minister, where is his imperial majesty?
Xiao Li: I didn’t consider that thing at all.
Just ask if you want to win this round?
The emperor wanted to win, and through Xiao Li's analysis, he gradually felt that he could completely control the court.
He is the emperor, and the court should be under his control, but before he did anything, he had to consult with the five cabinet ministers first. If Lu Shoufu didn't nod, his ideas and decrees would not be implemented, even if those officials committed crimes. Whether he wants to confiscate his home or behead him, it all depends on whether these elders want to get that person, and he will feel aggrieved for more than a day or two.
But now he finally felt like he was sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers, everything was under control, and he wanted to continue to be in control.
Xiao Li deceived without changing his face: "This is not to show weakness, nor to pretend to be pitiful, but to tell the ministers about their plight. The emperor treats each other sincerely. It is a gift from the emperor to change a family to fight for the emperor and die. The Wang family’s honor.”
The emperor thought about it and realized that it was sincerity, not a sign of weakness or pretending to be pitiful, but a sign of his respect and favor for his ministers, and then he agreed.
The emperor called the queen's brother into the palace, and first reassured the queen, saying that he was not really to blame for neglecting the queen, but that the queen mother was frightened, and the queen needed to give an explanation to the queen mother and the world.
Copying Buddhist scriptures is not a punishment, but the queen's filial piety towards the queen mother.
After explaining this, he talked about his own difficulties, saying that the wedding between Lu Yanzhi and the princess caused resentment in the Lu family, and then Lu Yanzhi was injured, which made the Lu family hold a grudge. He also said that all courtiers had to look at Lu Shoufu's face and so on.
Always put eye drops on the Lu family, pour some bitter water to tell the emperor's difficulties, and of course give the Wang family a little sweetness in the end.
It was not a direct promise of profit, but a statement that he also wanted a legitimate prince.
The bait doesn't have to be very big, as long as it happens to be what the fish likes, the greedy fish will definitely bite the hook.
