Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 271 Impeaching the Princess

It is said that on the first day when Princess Sheng arrived at the palace, she decisively killed 30 people in the palace, and sent all the Yingying Yanyans in the palace to the big families in a way that was almost rogue. This story spread early in the morning, both inside and outside the court. Since ancient times, courtiers have given beauties to the emperor or their superiors, or the courtiers have made meritorious deeds. There are countless examples of emperors rewarding beauties. No one has ever heard of a princess giving souvenirs to courtiers. , and the rain and dew will be covered as soon as you make a move, and there are many famous families. The mistresses of the major families all scolded secretly, and the civil servants even drafted a book overnight, preparing to refer to him in the court. In contrast, The generals led by Zeng Hou and Yan Shengrui were much quieter.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

In the court hall, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, shouting long live to swallow the mountains and rivers, the emperor and the queen in dragon robes sat on the dragon chair and phoenix seat respectively: "Everyone's family is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor waved his hand full of aura, and the officials stood up and retreated to the sides after thanking them. Except for the few adult princes standing in the front, the civil servants were mainly the left and right ministers. Right Chancellor Sun Liang, generals, needless to say, General Marshal Zeng Hou and General Wang Yan Shengrui, and behind them are the sons of Yuan Guogong who have not been in court for a long time, General Ye and others. The most noble and powerful people in the country are all gathered here Here it is.

"Zhang Dezi!" Looking around at the courtiers below, when he saw Yan Shengrui, the emperor's eyes flickered involuntarily, and it was only after a while that he called Eunuch Zhang who was beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Zhang stepped forward with two eunuchs, turned around and took out the yellow and orange imperial decree from a tray held by one of the eunuchs.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that Ling's Jingxuan has made great contributions to raising a son for Prince Sheng. He was specially conferred the title of Prince Sheng's concubine. He was bestowed with a first-class outfit, a thousand acres of fertile land, gold, silver and jewels. The eldest son, Yan Xiaowen, was granted the title of Prince Sheng's heir. Inheriting the title of Prince Cheng, the second son Yan Xiaowu was granted the title of Prince Wu, the youngest son Yan Xiaoling was granted the title of Prince Ling, and the adopted son Zhao Tiesheng was granted the title of Uncle Xiaoyao. Because the Duke of Xiaoyao was young, no other mansion will be granted for the time being. A thousand taels of gold, bestowed upon me!"

This award is undoubtedly quite astonishing. Forget about the concubine's son, there are even the second son, the youngest son, and even the adopted son. Except for a few people who already know, everyone else is shocked. I seriously doubt whether they listened to it or not. Is it wrong, or maybe Eunuch Zhang mispronounced it?

"My brother, on behalf of the princess, I would like to thank the emperor brother."

Yan Shengrui, dressed in court uniform, is majestic and majestic. His handsome and handsome features are full of inviolable majesty. His tiger eyes and sword eyebrows are drawn into his temples. Adding a bit of demeanor that cannot be looked directly at, as the blood of the Tian family, the son of the dragon and the phoenix, holding two-thirds of the military power in the Qing Dynasty, the man who looks down on the world seems to have been born, and it is definitely not something that others can imitate.

Even Yan Shengzhi, who is superior, has to admit that Yan Shengrui is more imposing than him, and it is because of his deep understanding that he is always on guard against fear.

"Your Majesty has a decree, there is a book to start playing, and there is no book to retreat!"

Yan Shengzhi was so angry with him that he was about to bleed internally. He didn't even want to say anything to him. He waved his hand as a response. Eunuch Zhang shouted tacitly when he saw this. As for the imperial decree, what he just read was a backup. It was brought back yesterday, and today it is just a symbolic notification to the officials.

"I have the original play!"

After finally accepting the fact that Prince Sheng’s family is more noble, all the courtiers gritted their teeth with hatred. As soon as Eunuch Zhang’s voice fell, an official wearing a fifth-rank court uniform came out with a memorial. Although it is not high, it has the right to act upon hearing the wind. It is in charge of impeachment and picketing, which is equivalent to a prosecutor in modern society.

Is the first one Zhu Yushi?

Standing at the forefront of the military commander, Yan Shengrui kept his gaze straight, the corners of his lips curled slightly, sitting high on a phoenix chair, and Chu Yunhan, who was dressed in a red queen's formal attire, still maintained his usual aloofness, but his cold eyes quickly slid across a touch of sarcasm. I also knew that the one he played must be Ling Jingxuan, the newly appointed Prince and Concubine of Cheng.

Eunuch Zhang silently went down to take his notebook, and when Yan Shengzhi opened the notebook, Zhu Yushi also said righteously: "Your Majesty Chen Qi, the first day Princess Sheng arrived yesterday, the palace was almost demolished, Not long after, there was a massacre in the palace, using extremely cruel means to kill more than [-] people, and in the end, regardless of the dignified dignity of the mistress, she forcibly expelled countless beauties from the palace. In the name of rewards, it was sent to all the major families in the capital, and it is a monster that is doing evil to seduce people. It is really a evil for the country.

The emperor had just announced the imperial decree to make Ling Jingxuan the official concubine of Prince Cheng, and he immediately jumped out to criticize him, which not only refuted the emperor's face, but also directly provoked Prince Sheng of the same dynasty. With a wait-and-see attitude, the emperor did not answer immediately, but seemed to be studying the scriptures seriously. The person involved, Yan Chengrui, glanced at Zhu Yushi lightly, making his legs tremble with fright, but he had to stand up hard. stable.

"Prince Cheng, what do you say?"

Closing the booklet, Yan Shengzhi looked down at Yan Shengrui with ambiguous meaning. The first thing people in the royal family learn after they become sensible is to hide their emotions and anger. The emperor is undoubtedly the best among them. No one can tell from his face. Seeing something, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Yan Shengrui.

Yan Chengrui ignored the emperor who was still waiting for his answer, his tall and tall body slowly turned to look at Zhu Yushi, until he saw that his body was shaking like sifting chaff, and his face was about to turn into a pig liver color before he said slowly : "When will the king's family affairs need to be labored by the imperial censor? If you are too free, I don't mind seconding you to picket the atmosphere in the army, lest you have nothing to do with a woman who is like a cock, and the princess has just arrived. In the capital, what’s wrong with rewarding beauties from every family? Or is it that Zhu Yushi’s family doesn’t have any, and he’s dissatisfied? Let me tell you earlier, when I go back today, I will ask the princess to personally select a few beauties and send them to you, so that you can enjoy the blessings of everyone. .”

If Ling Jingxuan hadn't told him not to play with people to death all at once, he wouldn't have bothered to talk to him. Fortunately, he would just play with them today.

"You, you. Hearing this, Zhu Yushi was angry and angry. You stammered for a long time before holding your breath and holding your neck, and retorted: "Only those with evil intentions will use beauties to maintain relationships. The child is already a monstrous person, but now he is committing mass murder and exercising the power of the concubine indiscriminately. It is really a disaster for the country and the people, and should be abolished. Prince Cheng is so powerful that he shakes the entire army, so he must not ruin his future for a monstrous person! "

Seeing that he spoke righteously, he finally started preaching to Yan Shengrui. Many people were secretly pleased, but the military commanders all glared at him. Most of them are subordinates of Prince Cheng, and the princess recognized by Prince Cheng is their only one. Concubine, if you dare to pick on Concubine in front of them, Zhu Yushi may not even think about going home properly today.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Unexpectedly, instead of being furious, Yan Chengrui laughed slowly, and the laughter gradually became wild. Almost everyone was surprised by him, including the empress who sat high on the dragon chair and phoenix seat. He has been scolded as a disaster for the country and the people, why can he still laugh?

"Old Nine!"

Zhu Yushi's face became even uglier, he was so scared that he was dying, the emperor's face darkened, his eyes were indescribably sharp, how could he be allowed to be presumptuous again and again in the court?

"Don't you think it's funny, brother?"

The laughter gradually stopped, Yan Shengrui looked up at Yan Shengzhi, and his bright and deep peach eyes turned to Zhu Yushi: "According to Mr. Zhu, anyone who gives someone else's beauties is not a good thing. This king here There happens to be a roster, if Brother Huang has no objection, please let Zhang Dezi read it in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, after reading it, Brother Huang and all the ministers will know what this king is laughing at."

A brand-new booklet slipped out of his sleeve pocket, and Yan Shengzhi gave Eunuch Zhang a look of embarrassment. The latter walked down the steps and took the booklet respectfully. After returning to the high position, he unfolded the booklet and read aloud: "The next year of Tianwu, Lord Zheng Weiqing sent it to you. Two beauties, four maids, Lord Xiao Heshan gifted four beauties, four maids, Tianwu three years, the queen mother rewarded three beauties, three maids, Lord Chu Xiangrong sent two beauties, two maids, the emperor rewarded beauties Four servant girls each, Tianwu six years?

"enough!"

As Eunuch Zhang read out more and more names, half of the ministers in the court were shot, and the emperor's face became even more embarrassing. He did not expect that what Lao Jiu took out was such a list. Everyone was tacit about this matter, but with Zhu Yushi's words first, Yan Chengrui was undoubtedly telling them that the princess should be convicted for this point?Okay, let's convict other people, including the empress dowager first, then, the seemingly gentle method actually leaves no way for people to escape. If they insist on using this excuse to abolish the concubine, or even convict them, then Yan Shengrui will take advantage of it No matter what he does, no one else will say anything. What is wrong with a man defending his wife?

"Zhu Yushi, do you still have the book?"

Yan Shengzhi gritted his teeth, obviously warning him. At first, he thought that even if he couldn't abolish the concubine, he could at least dampen Lao Jiu's spirit. Didn't he expect that? ?Going around and going around actually got them themselves in.

"A humble minister?? A humble minister?? A humble minister asked His Majesty, even if it is normal for the princess to reward beauties, how can he forcefully break into the palace and put the royal family's face? He killed dozens of people for no reason, so that the palace was stained with blood. How should I say it? Forcibly dismissing the beauties of the palace is really an act of jealousy, and it belongs to the list of seven outs, there are too many to enumerate, and it should be abolished!"

At this point, Zhu Yushi can't turn back, so he can only bite the bullet and repeatedly reprimand Ling Jingxuan's 'crimes'. The left minister Xiao Heshan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and said, "My minister seconded the proposal, and I also ask the prince to take back the crimes of yesterday. The beauties sent to Xiao's residence late will not be rewarded for their merits, and I am ashamed to accept it!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Under his leadership, the other ministers who received the beauties also stood up together. The beauties are not bad, to put it bluntly, how many men in the world are not lecherous?But Princess Sheng is not a gift, but a reward. Those who get those beauties can't beat or scold them on weekdays, and they have to make a good offering. How can the mistress manage the backyard?The backyard is in chaos, how can they feel at ease outside?More importantly, the origins of those beauties are not simple.

The civil servants basically knelt down, and none of the military commanders moved. Yan Chengzhi, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, was secretly happy, but his face was calm, and he tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, as if he was thinking about it. Thinking of something, the atmosphere in the court could not help but fall into a weird silence. The weirdest thing was that the always domineering and powerful Prince Sheng hadn't lost his temper yet.
