"That's not true." Bai Shan was not Man Bao and had no experience in gossiping with the emperor, so he looked troubled. After a while, he decided to tell the truth, "Your Majesty, this is a private matter. I can't wait to talk behind someone's back."
?”
The emperor was stunned. This was the first time he had been politely rejected like this. Then he perked up and became more interested. He immediately said, "Why is this a private matter?"
The emperor said energetically: "Didn't you listen to what Wei Zhi and the others said? There are no private matters in the Tian family. I even missed half a bowl of rice and they would complain about it. Now that it involves the promotion, demotion and transfer of officials, where are the private matters?"
"
He stared at Bai Shandao: "Obviously you know the truth. Tell me quickly, what's the secret in this? Could it be that the governor of Daizhou refused some request from Li Meng and others and offended them, so so many people have impeached him recently?
of?"
When Bai Shan heard the emperor's guess, he quickly said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood."
He paused and then said: "I don't know very much about it, but the Ma family and the Wang family are related by marriage. A nephew of Ma Jishi married the Wang family's sixth wife..."
Bai Shan told Wang Ruile that Manbao had seen Wang Ruile several times and concluded that she had suffered multiple miscarriages and had broken bones in many places on her body.
She didn't dare to bring up the fact that Mrs. Tang tricked Ma Hongzhong into Yongzhou for a beating, but she also mentioned the Wang family's attitude, "Now the Wang family wants to terminate the engagement, but the Wang family loves her son and is reluctant to be separated from her youngest son.
So now they're fighting over the kids."
Generally speaking, when a couple divorces, the children follow the father. It is rare for a woman to take her children away from her husband's family.
Obviously, Wang did not want to give up the child.
As soon as the emperor understood it, he thought for a moment and asked doubtfully: "What is the relationship between Li Meng and the Wang family?"
I haven't heard that they are any better.
Bai Shan said: "Aren't they all related to Cui by marriage? Maybe they are relatives in law."
The emperor just narrowed his eyes. Li Meng also had a very tough temper. But if his in-laws asked him to do so, it would be difficult for him to say these things when discussing politics in private, right?
However, he also knew that Bai Shan was young and inexperienced, so it was difficult to talk about these things. Anyway, he already knew the most important thing, so he waved Bai Shan to step aside.
As soon as Bai Shan left, he said to Gu Zhong: "Let Yin Li come into the palace."
Huh, if Bai Shan doesn't dare to say it, doesn't Yin Li also dare to say it?
As for whether Yin Li knew about this issue, the emperor really didn't doubt it. The matter had already been brought to the court, so how could Yin Li not know?
Yin Li really knew. Not only did he know, he knew even better than Bai Shan Zhouman.
He took a sip of tea first, and then talked about it with the emperor. Not only the emperor, but also the man who was holding the pen to record was stunned. He was a little confused for a while, not knowing how to record this gossip briefly in the book.
It's not good to be short. What if there are any big consequences caused by this incident in the future, and future generations can't find the cause and effect in the history books? What should I do?
If it is too long, it will take up too much space, and it will be bad if the key point is lost.
Although he was thinking wildly in his mind, Qi Julang still wrote down all these facts.
Yin Li noticed this because Mrs. Tang and others were beating people in Yongzhou.
Although he only guards the capital, Yongzhou is the companion capital and is within the scope of his control. Mrs. Tang and others beat people in the street, and his son was at the scene. It was difficult for him not to pay attention.
This attention revealed that both the Wang family and the Cui family were in conflict with the Ma family, especially the Cui family, who had a tendency to crush them to death.
So Yin Li sent someone to investigate and found out not only that Wang's daughter had been beaten and placed under house arrest, but also that Wang had sent Cui's daughter back to Cui.
The smile on the emperor's face became weaker and weaker, and he asked: "Has the Wang family never discovered such a violent person?"
Yin Li sighed and said: "Both Wang Liuniang's parents are dead. She has only one younger brother in the family, and she is studying abroad and does not come home all year round. When she returns to her parents' home, she is always entertained by her uncles and aunts. Her aunt is the daughter of the Cui family who was sent back to the Cui family.
.”
The emperor understood immediately.
Yin Li said: "The girl in the boudoir is trapped in the backyard, and there are not many people who can use her. Once the channel for transmitting news is cut off, and there is no one at home who cares and greets her, it is normal for outsiders not to notice anything unusual for three to five years.
"
"If the Ma family was smart, they would have completely subdued Wang Liu Niang in the past few years, or killed her directly. I am afraid that no one outside would feel unusual. However, they still want to use the power of the Wang family's in-laws, so they are reluctant to kill her.
, and Wang Liu Niang has not been subdued, so the trouble comes out."
The emperor snorted coldly and said directly: "This man is called Ma Hongzhong. Is he also studying?"
"Yes, I took advantage of the Wang family's influence to study at Bingzhou Fuxue. I heard that I took the Ming Jing exam this year, but I never passed it."
"You can't pass the exam at this age, so you obviously have no talent. It's okay to forget it if you don't have talent. You still have no morals. It's a waste of places to stay in the government school. I'll have to be punished by Bingzhou later."
But what the emperor cared about most was not this matter. What he cared about most was Mrs. Cui's attitude. "Ms. Cui has lost a big face."
"Yes, not many people know about it and the matter has been suppressed, but Cui is indeed helping Wang to suppress the Ma family."
The emperor began to think deeply, and after a while he said: "Go and find someone to write a seal to impeach the Spurs for being lax in running the family, and expose this matter."
Yin Li: "...Your Majesty, that is not the Spurs historian. The Spurs historian and his brother have already separated..."
"I don't care. I want someone to impeach me. I don't need to name the mistakes Cui's daughter made in it. Anyway, just say that Wang's daughter was beaten very badly. I will raise the discount tomorrow and go find someone quickly."
The emperor was gearing up to do something secretly, but he still felt a little uncomfortable when he returned to the harem, so he said to the queen: "When Mingda Changyu gets married, we will give them more personal guards, maybe eight hundred, no."
, how about a thousand people?”
He said: "In this way, if they are bullied at their husband's house, they will not have no way to seek help."
Queen: "...Your Majesty, it is the regulation of the Prince's Palace to have one thousand personal guards."
"What's wrong with me just making Mingda the prince?" He said: "She is weak and cannot be wronged."
The queen said helplessly: "The Bai family will not bully Mingda. Do you think Bai Er can bully Mingda? If you give her so many people, she still has to find a place to settle. Isn't it a waste of talent?"
Moreover, the courtier would not agree. The queen swallowed these words and did not dare to mention it at this time, otherwise it would arouse his dog temper, which might be counterproductive.
The emperor said: "It's a waste, it's just a thousand people, I can still afford it."
He said: "You don't know how bad people's hearts are outside. How does the Wang family compare to the Ma family? Just like our family compares to the Bai family. When Wang Feng chose the Ma family to be his in-laws, he must have thought that the Ma family was of lower status.
He didn't dare to bully his daughter, but as a result, the whole Ma family, even the servant girl, dared to humiliate the Wang daughter."
"Yin Li is right. The women in the boudoir are trapped in the back house. If they don't have some power outside, once they are caught, they will have no way to ask for help." As long as the emperor replaced Mingda, he was so frightened and sad that he wanted to cry.
His eyes were red and he said: "My heart aches when I think about Mingda being bullied in the future and not being able to even send words back to the palace. She is suffering outside and we are still in the palace thinking that she is fine."
