As news of Fang Qingyue's death reached the Ji family, the entire Ji family fell into panic again.
On this day, Ji Muzhuo and his wife Yu Wenshi left the first room and called the closest and most capable children from the second room to sit in the inner hall of their home to discuss matters. They patrolled the nephews and shouted angrily: "Who has such intentions?"
Are you vicious and want to kill everyone in our Ji family?"
Ji Rongheng felt most depressed at this time. Because of the death of Dangyang County Supervisor Xia Yuan, not only was he deprived of military affairs in the three states of Qinghe, but his marriage was also in danger.
He angrily patted the coffee table beside him and shouted sternly: "If I find out who is behind this, I will definitely skin him."
"Now that the matter is over, what's the use of brother Rong Heng talking about it anymore."
Ji Wanying pursed her lips in dissatisfaction: "The top priority is to think of countermeasures. Dafang's uncle was demoted to a commoner because he disappeared from the Tang Dynasty and the Yang family's land was confiscated, but Cen'an's brother filled his uncle's official position and was granted a title.
Duke, although the emperor brother has asked the general to guard our Ji family, he has not treated the superiors and subordinates harshly. It can be seen that the emperor brother is still wary of the power of our Ji family."
After a pause, she faced her grandparents and continued: "If the emperor brother makes up his mind, it will not be easy to save the Ji family."
These words reminded the old lady, and Yuwen nodded with deep approval and said: "Wanying is a very perceptive person in this family. Each of you is grateful to the new emperor for the book, but you don't know that he has already started to deal with it.
Our Ji family, otherwise, we would not secretly let Mr. Tingwei go to Tanzhou."
"Hey, the big tree attracts the wind. Who made our Ji family become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh now?"
Ji Muzhuo looked at his nephews, sighed and asked, "What are Rong Heng and everyone's ideas now?"
Ji Rongheng and everyone else fell into silence with blank expressions on their faces. Only Ji Wanying started to talk loudly: "Since the emperor's brother suspects that our Ji family has the intention to rebel, it is better to simply do nothing and let the second uncle start an incident in Tanzhou."
"Shut up."
Hearing these words, Ji Muzhuo suddenly lost his temper towards his beloved granddaughter: "My Ji family has been favored by the emperor for generations, how could I do such an unfaithful and unjust thing? How can I live up to the kindness of the past emperors?"
, and even more so, he wants to drag the whole Ji family into the abyss of eternal destruction and be reviled by all generations."
"What my grandfather said is true."
Ji Rongheng also followed up and said: "Your Majesty has introduced a new administration. Although many of the terms are indeed a bit harsh, considering the merits of our Ji family, the fact that my third uncle committed such a serious crime did not involve the whole family. This shows that His Majesty's imperial favor to our Ji family is huge."
, if you don’t want to repent but have other intentions at this time, wouldn’t you be playing into the hands of others and digging your own grave?”
"I really want to say that it was the queen who was causing trouble."
Yu Wenshi vented bitterly: "Since she entered the capital, she first instigated the emperor not to set up a sixth palace. Even the ancestors favored her. Now she instigated the new emperor to attack the major noble families. In my opinion, Xia Yuan and Fang Qingyue
His death is due to the dissatisfaction of the wealthy noble families with the New Deal."
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused the resonance of everyone in the hall.
"I wouldn't have noticed it unless Madam said it."
Ji Muzhuo slapped the coffee table with a fierce look: "This really reminds me that the queen comes from a poor family, so she doesn't want to see us, the descendants of high-ranking families, put themselves above her Chu family and try our best to eradicate her.
All the major wealthy families want to pave the way for her Chu family, and they have sinister intentions."
After saying that, he immediately ordered his heirs: "Rong Heng, you and your brothers immediately contact the courtiers from all parties to request an order to enter the palace and impeach the queen. You must implore your majesty to depose this domineering woman and restore the great noble families."
A justice.”
"Grandpa, based on my grandson's understanding of the queen, she shouldn't be like this."
Ji Rongheng was full of worries: "My grandson has been in contact with the queen for some time. She has always made a distinction between public and private affairs. She is also extremely harsh on the father-in-law and his family. She never allows the family to use their power for personal gain. Even the rewards given by your majesty are
The queen tried her best to dissuade her, and the Chu family's son-in-law is still doing business in various places.
With His Majesty's favor towards the Queen, it would not be difficult for her to use her power for personal gain and find a job in the court for her family, not to mention that the Queen would add all her hard-earned money to the court's disaster relief fund.
How can an open-minded person have such vicious thoughts?"
“Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts.”
Ji Wanying sneered: "Brother Rong Heng is born to be a real person. Don't you know the most poisonous truth about women's hearts? Although the queen's sister-in-law is the mother of the world, she knows better than anyone else in her heart. With her family background in the Chu family,
, the daughter of any family in the capital could share her favor if she entered the palace, so she tried every possible means to bring down the major families to consolidate the status of herself and my nephews.
A mother is more valuable than her son. If she is favored, it is hard to say whether her children will be favored again."
"Wanying, you are indeed a child who grew up in front of the eldest princess and ancestors. You are really smart."
Yu Wenshi was so impressed by her granddaughter's words that she glared at Ji Rongheng with a look of hatred: "You still have to learn from Wanying, don't be sold out and help count the money, just listen to your grandfather
Yes, hurry up and contact the major noble families to enter the palace."
After thinking about it, she immediately shook her head and said: "That's all, the new emperor and you juniors can't be trusted. It's better for me to go to the palace in person to beg the ancestors. You should also go with me to make the emperor accept the concubine and the ancestors won't care.
But our ancestors would not be able to just watch these loyal and good people she single-handedly promoted be framed later."
Due to the intimidation of his elders, Ji Rongheng did not dare to argue anymore and had no choice but to obey.
"There is no need to inform your uncle and clan leader anymore."
Ji Muzhuo calmly analyzed: "Huai Shu has just been reprimanded, and I'm afraid he is still in shock. Let them take it easy. Let us, the second room, make the decision on this matter."
"yes."
Ji Rongheng responded and hurried out to ask the guards for permission to enter the palace.
Early in the morning during the Laba Festival, Chu Nanzhi prepared Laba porridge and personally delivered it to the Yangxin Hall. Seeing that Lin Jinxiao looked quite haggard these days due to the affairs of the Ji family, she handed the porridge to him and comforted him: "
Things always work out slowly."
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, but there was no festive celebration in the palace, Lin Jinxiao took the porridge without any appetite, put it aside with dull eyes, held Chu Nanzhi's hand, and said lightly: "Before leaving, I
I repeatedly told Fang Qingyue to be more cautious, but I never thought that I still could not save his life."
Chu Nanzhi was also deeply saddened by Fang Qingyue's death.
Considering all the signs, she didn't even believe that this guy died in a sudden fire.
However, due to the deaths of several officials, no one who dared to go to Tanzhou to convey the order could be found. At this time, Chu Nanzhi could deeply understand the pain in Lin Jinxiao's heart.
She didn't know much about Ji Huaizhang, but what puzzled her was that if this person really had extraordinary abilities, how could the rumors about the roster in Lin Yanjun's hands and the Ji family's secret support of many tribes spread to the capital?
of?
This man could kill Shi Luhuan, the imperial officer. Knowing that Xia Yuan had something to do with him, how could he easily let Xia Yuan return to the capital and then choose to take action?
This all seems a bit strange.
"Let me go, I will go to Tanzhou for you."
Looking at Lin Jinxiao who was full of melancholy, Chu Nanzhi took the initiative to ask.
