Prince Fenyang acted quickly and "invited" Prince Yiyang to the Zongren Mansion that day. In the evening, Prince Fenyang reported the whole story to Sheng Hong one by one.
"...The Prince of Yiyang County has truthfully confessed, and he did tell the Princess of Yiyang County about this matter."
"When Empress Dowager Yu was in charge of the Central Palace, she often suppressed the female relatives of the royal family. The princess of Yiyang County once suffered at the hands of Empress Dowager Yu, and she has always held a grudge in her heart."
"The King of Yiyang County told the Princess of Yiyang County about Empress Dowager Yu's plot to murder the late emperor because he wanted to make his wife happy. However, he did not expect that the Princess of Yiyang County spread the news to vent her personal anger."
"These days, the Prince of Yiyang County has been kneeling in the palace. He had no idea that the Princess of Yiyang County had spread the matter. When the minister was held accountable, the Prince of Yiyang County was upset and cried bitterly and regretted it."
"Please, Your Majesty, severely punish the Prince of Yiyang County to serve as a warning to others!"
Prince Fenyang did not dare to intercede for Prince Yiyang, so he lowered his head and waited quietly for the emperor's decree.
Sheng Hong narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Fenyang County Prince calmly: "For the time being, the Yiyang County Prince and his wife will be imprisoned in the clan mansion. I will deal with it after the mother is buried."
Obviously, the emperor had no intention of severe punishment.
Prince Fenyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and accepted.
…
At night, Sheng Hong temporarily left the mourning hall and returned to Jiaofang Hall.
Xie Mingxi also returned from Fulin Palace.
The two of them stayed in the mourning hall during the day and returned to Jiaofang Hall to rest for two or three hours at night. After staying up for more than half a month, they were really tired.
After meeting, the couple looked at each other and said in unison: "You look tired. Please rest quickly. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to do."
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled in a tacit understanding. Their fatigue eased a little.
"After another ten days or so, the mother's body can be buried." Sheng Hong stared at Xie Mingxi with some distress: "After this matter is over, the palace will be quiet and quiet. You can also have a good rest for a while.
day."
Xie Mingxi twitched the corner of her mouth casually: "My enemy has surrendered, and I feel very happy. I don't feel tired at all. But you, please don't get hurt because of the anger of Prince Yiyang."
As soon as the Prince of Yiyang County was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, Xie Mingxi got the news.
Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows and recounted what Prince Fenyang said: "...I always feel that this matter is not that simple. The Princess of Yiyang County and the Queen Mother do have old grudges. But the Queen Mother is dead.
There is no point in using your words any more. It will only cause trouble for the Prince of Yiyang County."
"The princess of Yiyang County will never be so stupid."
Xie Mingxi also raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "That's not necessarily true. It is natural for women to be petty and to hold grudges. The princess of Yiyang County was once scolded by her mother for disobeying the palace and losing face in front of others, so she had long harbored a grudge. When her mother was still alive,
She could only swallow her anger. Once her mother died, she no longer had any fear. She used her quick words and expressed her bad temper, and she thought she could please you and me. What's wrong with this kind of behavior?"
Almost everyone knew about the feud between the Empress and Empress Dowager Yu. It was just that they had never broken their feud in front of others.
The beauty of the funeral of Empress Dowager Yu was the dignity of the empress. If she criticized Empress Dowager Yu a few words in private, I guess the empress would not mind it and would be secretly pleased with it.
The princess of Yiyang County judged others' hearts with her own heart, and ended up doing such a stupid thing. Not only did the prince of Yiyang County be imprisoned in the clan's mansion, she was also imprisoned in the clan's mansion.
It can be said that he was careless, got carried away, and suffered the consequences.
"Everyone only dares to spread rumors privately, and no one dares to gossip in front of you and me." Xie Mingxi said slowly: "There is no need to lift this layer of window paper. We just pretend that nothing happened."
"This is the only way." Sheng Hong was still a little depressed.
Emperor Jianwen has been dead for several years. Now that he is being teased out for gossip, as a son of a man, it is inevitable that he will feel unhappy.
…
Xie Mingxi didn't try to persuade her any more and changed the topic: "Lu Chi, Zhao Qi, Chen Zhan and others are all on their way back to Beijing. Calculating the distance, we should arrive in the capital in a few days."
Mentioning his classmates and friends, Sheng Hong's depressed mood suddenly improved, and there was a smile in his eyes: "I also hope they will return to Beijing soon."
"I have only been on the throne for a short period of time, less than three years in a row. Most of the people in the court are veterans of three dynasties."
"The old ministers are always heavy-handed. They are all scheming old foxes. On the surface, each one is more loyal than the other, but in fact, they are all carefully considering and weighing the weight of me as the emperor. To see whether I, the emperor, am worthy of loyal following."
"The imperial decree issued by me, the emperor, is still useful in the palace and the capital. But it may not be able to go out of the capital."
"Now I have managed to stabilize the court, but I am still far from being able to stabilize the country internally and externally. If I want to implement the New Deal, I must have ministers who are truly loyal to me and are capable and willing to do their jobs."
All of Sheng Hong's closest confidants were in Shu. Now that he had finally served his term as an official, Sheng Hong made up his mind to transfer them all back to Beijing.
Lu Chi, Zhao Qi, Chen Zhanju came from a well-known family, with a powerful family and many in-laws and relatives. Therefore, even if they were young and had less qualifications, they would not attract criticism and opposition if they were reused by the emperor.
Ye Jingzhi knew that Xiao Yufan, Xie Yuanzhou and others were still staying in Shu. Several of the new scholars who went to Shu with Sheng Hong that day also returned to Beijing this time.
Because of this, Sheng Hong felt quite happy and happy that "my men and horses have finally returned to Beijing".
Xie Mingxi also had a smile in her eyes: "I haven't seen Sister Lin and the others for so long, and I remember them very much. In the future, when they return to Beijing, we will be able to see each other from time to time."
Reuniting with friends is the most beautiful thing in the world.
The couple smiled as they met each other again.
Xie Mingxi smiled again and said: "Sister Lin and the others are returning to Beijing, and Brother You and the others will also come back together. I don't know how happy A Luo will be."
She deliberately gave A Luo a surprise. Lin Weiwei and others' return to Beijing had been hidden from A Luo.
Sheng Hong asked with a smile: "What are your plans if Ah Luo makes a fuss and studies with Brother You and the others?"
When they were in Shu, A Luo was studying with Brother You, Xiao Bao'er and the others every day. Once Brother You and others returned to Beijing, it would be strange for A Luo not to make a fuss.
Xie Mingxi obviously had a plan, she smiled slightly and said: "Just invite them to study together in the palace. They just happen to be A Luo's companions."
The meaning of this companion reading is completely different from that of accompanying A Luo to study in Shu.
When they were in Shu, A'luo was the beloved daughter of the King of Shu and the princess of Daqi. Brother You and the others studied with A'luo because their parents had a close relationship with the King of Shu and his wife, so it was natural.
Now, A'luo is the only daughter of the empress and the most noble princess of Da Qi. In the future, she will be the crown daughter of Da Qi and the first empress since the founding of Da Qi.
A Luo's companion will also be her loyal follower in the future and become the confidant of the Empress of Qi.
