After Lin Jinshu left, Yin Enci calmed down, took a breath, and then looked angrily at Lin Jinxiao, who was burning with anger: "Emperor, do you really intend to send troops to attack your uncle in Tanzhou?"
Lin Jinxiao neither admitted nor denied, and sat directly next to the Empress Dowager, hating this group of noble women who knew nothing about heaven and earth.
It was not until this moment that Yuwen learned that it was the queen who interceded on behalf of the Ji family, saving the second family from being massacred.
Although she complained because her granddaughter Wanying could not enter the palace, in this matter of life and death, the queen was willing to stand up and speak justice for the family, and she was grateful from the bottom of her heart.
The emperor had already had murderous intentions towards the Ji family, and she did not dare to cause trouble again. She knelt down in fear and took the initiative to plead guilty and repented: "I don't know what is right. I offended the queen and caused the queen to suffer unjust injustice. Please forgive me."
The ancestors and the queen punished."
After saying that, he turned to Lin Jinxiao: "Although I am pedantic, I still believe in the loyalty of my child. No matter how confused he is, he will definitely not commit treason. Please give me your Majesty's warning."
Before Lin Jinxiao could answer, Yin Enci took the lead and said: "Both Huai Zhang and Huai Li were raised by the Ai family. The Ai family believed in Huai Zhang's loyalty and Huai Li died for the country. Rong Heng's father Huai Wen was also in the war.
You lost an arm, your Ji family is full of loyal people, and the Ai family believes that Huaizhang would not commit rebellion if it was just to protect the honor of his two brothers."
"The sage of our ancestors."
Yuwen clan kowtowed gratefully and said, "There must be someone who wants to sow discord between Your Majesty and our Ji family."
Thinking of the recent frequent disasters for the imperial officials, and not wanting to see the imperial troops approaching Tanzhou City and causing the entire Ji family to suffer disaster, she took the initiative to request: "Your Majesty, please issue an order for Rong Heng to go to Tanzhou in person to deliver the message."
The decree requires Huaizhang to return to the capital immediately to report on his duties. If he dares to have any different intentions, he will be punished by your majesty. I am willing to send three feet of white silk to Tanzhou to ask him to return to the capital to observe filial piety."
Not only was Yin Enci moved by this sudden determination, but Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao were also extremely shocked.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the old lady still had some strength.
At least it proves the loyalty of the Ji family.
Yin Enci is now looking forward to the reunion of her grandparents and grandchildren. She originally wanted to hand over all the government affairs to her grandchildren to live a long life, but she also doesn't want to watch him enact some new policies that will disown his relatives.
After all, the Dahe Empire has been passed down for hundreds of years based on the foundation of the major wealthy families. Now, if we want to overthrow the old system and suppress the noble families across the country for the sake of the life and death of the lower class people, this is burning bridges.
But these days, she also saw the shortcomings of the empire, and realized that it was indeed time for the imperial court to reform, but the emperor was progressing too hastily.
Poor people want to survive, and aristocratic families also need to survive. She does not have the determination of her grandson to cut off the strength of a strong man, she only hopes that the world can transition smoothly in the hands of her grandson.
At this time, Yin Enci also began to persuade with sincerity: "The three states of Qinghe are where the dragon vein of our dynasty is located. The abolition of the vassal has made the Ai family panic. The emperor wants to implement the New Deal. The Ai family supports it, but don't do it."
It chills the hearts of the nobles in the world. Which of the famous families in the Qinghe Land is not your uncle, or the one who opened up the territory for the imperial court? You must not fight with swords at every turn. The queen knows this better than you.
.”
After scolding Lin Jinxiao, he thought about the recent rumors about the Ji family in Beijing, and then looked at Yuwen:
"Old relative, please stop being so upset about Wanying. Logically speaking, the emperor's affairs are not private matters, no matter how big or small. However, this girl Wanying is your granddaughter, and she is also the heart of the Ai family.
Her mother had already made a big mistake. Not letting this girl into the palace was a reason for mourning her family.
As for the rumors in the market, the Ai family knew it well. When Rong Heng went to Tanzhou this time, he also asked him to bring a message on behalf of the Ai family to the nobles everywhere. They remembered the kindness of the court and the emperor was not a person who forgot his ancestors.
But now the court has reached a time of great difficulties. They have made a lot of money by relying on the court's protection over the years. Every household has thousands of hectares of fertile land and thousands of buildings. It is also time to spit out some to relieve the court's worries. The Yulong Gang
, Even if you are in the capital, you should have heard about the troubles in Funing County. They were all born into scholarly families, and the reason why the building will fall into peace does not need to be elaborated by Aijia."
Then, sitting upright, Lao Shen's eyes wandered back and forth between his clan relatives and Lin Jinxiao, and he stressed every word: "The emperor can forgive his two uncles, and he will also not treat the nobles poorly. Today the Ai family will also
Let me put it here, no matter how the nobles occupied the hidden fertile land in the past, no matter how big a crime they committed, as long as they return the land obediently, let the people follow suit, and let the emperor's new policy be implemented smoothly, let us
The imperial court has gone through these stormy days, and the Ai family will remember this kindness. They are still the meritorious members of the imperial court, and no one can embarrass them."
The last few sentences were deliberately emphasized towards Lin Jinxiao.
Today, she didn't want to take sides. After warning her grandson, she faced the Yuwen family and relatives again, and a sinister smile suddenly appeared on her lips: "But if there are still people who are stubborn and pedantic, then the Ai family should also let go.
It's ahead. The Ai family is now old. There is no room for crying and crying in Zhaochun Palace all day long. Whether they live or die in the future, they will never cry in front of the Ai family."
Since the marriage of the Yin, Ji, and Lin families, Yin Enci has become the backbone of the three families. Not only has she led her relatives to become stronger, but she has also led everyone under the high pressure of the Tang and Yang families over the years.
Turn danger into safety.
Her words were like a magic needle that made the nobles surrender completely.
Yuwenshi said with a smile: "I will keep my ancestor's words in mind and will definitely tell the descendants of the Ji family to do their best to help His Majesty implement the New Deal."
Recalling that she had been quarreling with the queen over Wanying's affairs these days, instead of being jealous, she repaid her with kindness and almost caused Princess Shu to have a miscarriage. At this time, she was filled with self-blame and apologized again: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
What’s wrong with Wanying is that I am narrow-minded, please don’t argue with her, Queen.”
"The old lady is serious."
Seeing the sincerity on Yuwen's face, Chu Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them laughed away their grudges.
But when he looked around, he didn't see Ji Wanying, so he asked casually: "It's been a long time since I saw the little princess enter the palace?"
Yu Wenshi couldn't hear what the queen was saying, but she still felt restless.
According to the rule, the granddaughter should stay at home to observe her mother's filial piety, and should not enter and leave the palace at will.
The Queen's question must have profound meaning.
Pursing her lips and looking at Chu Nanzhi with a wry smile, Yu Wenshi replied firmly: "Since the last time I entered the palace, I violated the etiquette, and your majesty and the queen were magnanimous and did not pursue it. Wanying's temperament is much calmer now, and she stays here all day long.
I will quietly reflect on my past at my house and ask the queen to be at ease. After the death of the eldest princess is over, I will follow my ancestor's instructions and find a marriage for her, and I will not enter the palace again to cause trouble to your majesty and the queen."
In response to her words, Chu Nanzhi just smiled lightly.
Based on her understanding of Ji Wanying, she really couldn't believe that the little princess could be so docile and well-behaved.
When she was escorted back to Beijing during the incident at Luyan Port, she stayed at home to reflect on her faults, but Erbao almost lost her life. Maybe Qingyue's death now was her fault.
After all, it wasn't her first time to instigate someone to assassinate an imperial envoy.
Even at the moment, she really can't figure out the connection between this girl and this case. After all, she is from the Ji family. If the Ji family is forced to embark on the path of rebellion, she herself will also be implicated. It will not be as easy as the previous incidents.
Calm things down.
Even if she was trying to protect Princess Yanjun's roster, corruption and rebellion are completely different natures.
Thinking of this, she temporarily removed Ji Wanying from her list of suspects.
