When they were going to Chengqian Palace, in the Yangxin Palace, civil and military officials lined up on both sides, discussing government affairs. From time to time, officials would hand prepared documents to Sixi for Yinzhen to review after he went to court. Today
Yunxiang, who had not been in court for a long time due to illness, was also there. He was allowed to sit in a chair. Even so, Yunxiang coughed from time to time.
For some reason, the atmosphere in the court today was a little weird. Several ministers glanced at each other from time to time, as if they had something to say, but until all the papers were presented, no one said anything. They all lowered their heads and said nothing.
, but just because they don’t speak doesn’t mean that others don’t speak either.
Yinzhen glanced at the civil and military officials standing there and said, "My dear friends, you all have nothing to say, right? Then I have one thing that I want to talk to you."
All the ministers glanced at each other, and they all guessed what Yinzhen was going to say next. After all, the incident yesterday caused such a big fuss. It was spread all over the capital, not only by officials like them, but also by ordinary people.
They knew it from the streets, but they didn't expect that Yinzhen really planned to mention it in court.
Yinzhen stood up from the dragon chair, walked down and said: "Yesterday, Concubine Xi returned to the palace. I asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare the Queen's guard of honor to greet Concubine Xi. However, on the way, I encountered two censors blocking the way, saying that Concubine Xi should not use the Queen's guard of honor.
, even though I am particularly
It was not possible to be merciful and allow it to be used. Concubine Xi had no choice but to remove half of the dragon and phoenix flag and cut off the phoenix head. Many people saw it at that time. I believe that all of you dear friends also heard about it, and maybe some people even saw it with your own eyes.
Saw it."
Yinzhen's last words made Yingge, who was standing in front, shrink his pupils and his eyelids twitching. Could it be that...could it be that Niu Hulu saw him and told the emperor about it? That's why the emperor said
These? But all these are just one-sided words of the Niu Hulu family, with no real evidence, and it is impossible for the emperor to use this to punish himself.
Just as he was thinking wildly, a minister already spoke: "Your Majesty, although the two censors behaved a bit too much, they did nothing wrong. Concubine Xi is only a concubine. How can she use the palace guard of honor? Since the founding of this dynasty,
There has never been anything like this.”
When Yinzhen made Ling Ruo his queen, this minister was also one of the opponents. He was very disgusted with Ling Ruo, thinking that she confused Yinzhen and made him repeatedly do things that went against the ancestral system.
Beauty brings disaster.
With him taking the lead, the remaining ministers who had objections also spoke out to agree. For a time, Yangxin Hall was filled with voices of opposition. In these words, Feng Feng and Liu Qi were called
A person who is loyal to the liver, righteous and courageous, and loyal to the court.
Listening to these voices, Yingge felt relieved. Even if Yinzhen really knew that it was him, he would not dare to go against the general trend and deal with himself.
Although the Qing Dynasty belonged to the Aixinjueluo family, it was not Yinzhen who had the final say.
Yinzhen listened quietly, saying nothing, and did not show any displeasure. This made the ministers speak more boldly, regardless of the fact that Hongli was in the court. Yunxiang originally did not want to say anything, but after listening
He was getting more and more excessive, and pointed the finger at Ling Ruo's words. He couldn't bear it any more. He stood up on the chair and said: "Everyone of you said that Concubine Xi should not use the queen's etiquette."
War, why didn't I see you protesting before? What's the point of all the words now? Also, don't forget that Concubine Xi was posthumously named queen. Although she is not dead now, she is the "Queen of Xiaoshengxian"
These five words belong to Concubine Xi and can never be changed. Not to mention that she uses the Queen's ceremonial guard today, so what if she asks you to call her Queen today?!"
Yunxiang's sharp words made the minister who had been talking endlessly speechless for a while, and his face turned blue and white. After a while, the minister who just spoke just squeezed out a sentence, "Yiqin
The king also said that it was a posthumous title. Since Concubine Xi is still alive, the posthumous title will naturally not count. Besides, there is no room for two tigers in a mountain. How can a country have two empresses? If Concubine Xi is the empress, what will happen to the empress of Kunning Palace?
?”
"In the past, there was Empress E and Nv Ying. Why can't we have two empresses today? The rules are set by people, and naturally they are changed by people." When Kangxi was still there, Yunxiang was known to everyone as the desperate thirteenth man. He had always been fearless of heaven and earth.
How could you be afraid of these people?
The ministers who were reprimanded mercilessly by Yunxiang looked extremely ugly and said coldly: "Prince Yi said this, does he mean that he doesn't take the family law of his ancestors seriously?"
"Don't dare!" Even so, there was no "dare" on Yunxiang's face. Before others could speak, Yunxiang immediately changed the subject and said: "No matter what the motives of Feng Feng and Liu Qi are
What? They have all offended Concubine Xi and should be held accountable."
The left minister of household affairs heard this and sneered: "Prince Yi, haven't you forgotten what officials Feng Feng and Liu Qi are? They are censors. When something goes wrong, it is their duty to speak out. If
If you prevent Concubine Xi from returning to the palace as a queen because of them, then which official will dare to speak out and which minister will dare to make trouble? Prince Yi, by saying this, you clearly want to put the emperor in an unkind and unjust position."
Yunxiang laughed angrily, "This king puts the emperor in an unkind and unjust place? This is simply nonsense!" When he was about to reprimand again, Yunli already said: "Thirteenth brother, don't be angry, I believe that the minister did not mean this.
, Besides, it is not appropriate to argue like this in front of the Holy Master."
These words reminded everyone and they all kept their mouths shut, but judging from their looks, if Yinzhen dealt with Feng Feng and Liu Qi, there would definitely be a lot more words to say.
Seeing that Yangxin Palace became quiet, Yinzhenxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you finished talking? If you haven't finished talking, please continue talking. I'll listen."
All the ministers glanced at each other, and the left minister of the Ministry of Finance who had just spoken stood up again and said: "To report to the emperor, although Feng Feng and Liu Qi behaved a little recklessly, their loyalty to the emperor is commendable. I think that the emperor should not
Condemn them both."
"When did I say that I would deal with these two?" Yinzhen's words made everyone stunned. If he didn't want to deal with them, why would Yinzhen mention this matter for no reason?
Just when he was puzzled, Yinzhen pointed at the left minister of the household department and said: "As you said before, although these two people behaved a little recklessly, their intentions are commendable, so I will not only not punish them, but also reward them."
them."
Yunxiang couldn't believe his ears. What was the fourth brother saying? They had given his sister-in-law such a huge embarrassment. Not only did they not deal with it but they also rewarded her. How could the fourth brother be stimulated?
When he was about to speak, Yunli on the side pulled him and whispered: "Brother Thirteen, don't be anxious. Please listen to what the emperor has to say first."
