Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 268 The concubine can't do it!

"As for the other branches..."

When Emperor Jingshun said this, he hesitated slightly.

It seems that some can't bear it.

But thinking of what the Zhen family did, he quickly became ruthless and continued:

"Anyone involved in salt profit or in collusion with Japanese pirates will have their property confiscated and put into the national treasury! The men will flow for three thousand miles to fill the army!"

As soon as these words came out, it was tantamount to bringing the Zhen family together!

The Great Wei is a clan society, and all lines are closely related.

It is true that all are prosperous, and all are lost.

Unfortunately, rights and obligations always have to match.

The head of the Zhen family is not only seeking profit for himself, the other branches are naturally also inseparable.

All the ministers reacted and wanted to praise,

It can be seen that Emperor Jingshun sighed first, and then added:
"Phew~! As for the women and children of the Zhen family, let's forgive them. I have an explanation for the old concubine's spirit in heaven."

After all, the Zhen family was his biological mother's family.

At the last moment, Emperor Jingshun couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when he thought of the old concubine.

He didn't directly sentence the whole family to be executed, but he saved a little sympathy for the Zhen family.

This trace of affection saved the women and children of the Zhen clan.

Only the son of the Zhen family got the punishment he deserved.

However, only women and children remained in the family.

From then on, the Zhen family, which was well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, was completely over.

Especially once the accusation of colluding with Japanese pirates comes out, Jiang Nan fears that there will be no place for the Zhen family anymore.

Bearing such infamy, it is even more difficult to stand up again.

Although things did not reach the fullest extent according to Feng Yibo's expectation,
That is to say, there is no copying and chopping all over the house.

But anyway, as soon as the final verdict comes out.

Lin Ruhai also felt that the big revenge had to be avenged!
Thinking of all the male members of the Zhen family's family being killed, most of the branches will also be sent to the army.

I understand the hatred of my wife.

At this moment, Lin Ruhai couldn't help crying.

But thinking that he was still above the Golden Palace, he quickly controlled his emotions.

Then he was the first to react, bowed to Dan Bi, and shouted:
"Xie Shengshang is the master for the people of Jiangnan, and restores Jiangnan to a bright future!"

Seeing the state of his old father-in-law, Feng Yibo knew that the matter had been settled.

Immediately, he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said:
"Your Majesty is wise! The people killed by the Zhen family can finally rest in peace!"

Afterwards, countless words of praise gushed out from the mouths of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty.

A farce also came to an end with the end of the court meeting.

The reason why it is called a farce is because...

Except for Lin Ruhai and Feng Yibo, those who talked about Jiangnan people.

Most of them are not from Jiangnan!
Rather, it was a new honorable man from the frontier.

The ones who were really born in the south of the Yangtze River belonged to the noble lineage of the founder of the country.

But seeing that the Zhen family's situation was over, they didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

As for the Japanese pirates, they didn't care at all.

When Feng Yibo and Lin Ruhai went down to court, they stopped Jia Zheng.

After the two parties greeted each other, Feng Yibo said first:

"Uncle has never been involved in such matters, why did he speak up today to intercede for the Zhen family?"

Lin Ruhai also looked dissatisfied, and said with resentment:
"Second uncle, you shouldn't meddle in this matter!"

He wanted to avenge Jia Min wholeheartedly, but unexpectedly Jia Min's elder brother defended the Zhen family.

This made Lin Ruhai unavoidably resentful towards Jia Zheng.

It's just that he didn't tell Jia Zheng about it in detail.

So it's just a bit of resentment, and I don't really blame this uncle.

The final result has come out, and now it is a big revenge.

In the main hall just now, both sides insisted on their own words.

At this time, Lin Ruhai asked again in such a tone.

Jia Zheng was inevitably a little embarrassed, and said:
"Ruhai, Yibo, it's a long story."

The two in front of him are no strangers to him.

One is his sister-in-law, and the other is his nephew and son-in-law.

Jia Zheng didn't choose to evade, but looked around first.

Seeing that no one is paying attention here, he said:

"Originally, when I came back from Yazhou, I had been resting at home and didn't pay attention to the affairs of the court. It's just that my mother sent a message a few days ago, asking my Zhen family to intercede."

Speaking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't help showing a wry smile, and explained:
"I thought that the Zhen family was also an old relative for many years, and my mother had to be favored by the old dowager to be here today. That's why I agreed, and I came here specially to attend today's court meeting."

Everything about the Zhen family has been copied in the newspaper, and all the officials in the court have known about it.

Yuan Chun learned about it from Mrs. Wang.

After knowing this, Yuan Chun naturally thought of the old concubine's entrustment to her.

That is at a critical moment, I hope she can help the Zhen family.

So she asked Mrs. Wang to tell her father Jia Zheng.

Let him intercede for the Zhen family in court.

Otherwise, with Jia Zheng's insensitivity, he might not necessarily be involved in this matter.

Didn't even necessarily know about it.

However, when he learned that his old relative was in trouble, Yuan Chun spoke again.

Jia Zheng didn't think about the consequences, so he directly pleaded with the court.

Yuan Chun himself was not idle, and went directly to Emperor Jingshun in the palace.

In this way, the father and daughter stood in front of each other, one inside and one outside.

They are all very determined to run for the life of the Zhen family.

"I didn't expect that this matter has something to do with you, Weng and your son-in-law. Didn't you say that the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple?"

Feng Yibo and Lin Ruhai couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words.

They only thought of the reactions of the officials in the court, but they forgot Yuan Chun, the virtuous concubine brought up by the old concubine.

Fortunately, the dust has settled now, and the Zhen family has also received the punishment they deserved.

The three of them talked for a while, and then they went back to their homes without mentioning it.

It is only said that Emperor Jingshun went back to the harem and walked towards Fengzao Palace.

It has been nearly half a year since Yuan Chun gave birth.

But in Emperor Jingshun's heart, he was always dissatisfied with her.

Because apart from this virtuous concubine, the other concubines have remained silent for a long time.

He really wanted to try again, whether this fertile field could grow seedlings again.

At the beginning, Yuanchun, who had just given birth, needed confinement.

It is also reasonable not to be able to sleep.

But after such a long time, he still kept saying that he was not feeling well.

On the grounds of taking good care of his body, he often can't go to bed.

How can Emperor Jingshun, who is useless, not be depressed?
Until a few days ago, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager both fell ill.

The two waited on the sick bed together.

Emperor Jingshun noticed that Yuan Chun's complexion was rosy, and he seemed to be fine.

So he planned to let her sleep when this was over.

But immediately afterwards, apart from serving the sick bed, the court's affairs continued one after another.

It was Zhao Shunjun again, and Wang Ziteng again.

Emperor Jingshun felt very tired for a while, so he delayed again.

When he has just regained some vitality, he wants to find Concubine Xiande to sleep with him.

Something happened to the Zhen family again.

As soon as Yuan Chun saw him, he kept pleading for the Zhen family.

He begged him repeatedly to let the Zhen family go.

Such constant intercession made Emperor Jingshun extremely disturbed.

So, not only failed to sleep.

In the past half a month, he simply ignored Yuan Chun.

He didn't even go to see his son.

In fact, Emperor Jingshun also understood that this must be the old concubine's dying request.

Concubine Xiande is the one who knows how to repay her kindness, and does her last favor.

Other than that, there has never been any move to interfere in politics.

Even the matter of her uncle Wang Ziteng, Yuan Chun was very measured and never mentioned it.

If not, Emperor Jingshun wouldn't just be left in the cold for a while.

Instead, she had been thrown into the cold palace long ago.

Of course, she also bore a son for herself.

No matter what, Emperor Jingshun wanted to show her some affection.

Apart from neglect, there is no other way to deal with it.

At today's court meeting, the matter of the Zhen family was finally settled.

Emperor Jingshun also missed the child, so he decided to come and see him again.

As soon as he entered Fengzao Palace, Yuan Chun had already received the letter in advance.

With a group of palace people, he picked it up.

"Fengzao Palace, up and down, welcome the holy driver!"

Emperor Jingshun ignored it, just nodded and went straight to the main palace.

The child is there, under special care.

As soon as he entered, the caretaker quickly saluted him.

At this time, Yuan Chun also brought people to follow.

As soon as he entered the room, Yuan Chun uttered some distasteful words to Emperor Jingshun who was teasing his children.

"My lord, about the Zhen family..."

Their father and daughter had hard heads, and Emperor Jing Shun who was hit naturally had a headache.

He was in a good mood when he was teasing the child.

Hearing that Yuan Chun came up and mentioned Zhen's family again, he interrupted impatiently, saying:

"The matter of the Zhen family has been announced at the court, and there is no possibility of repeating it!"

He waved his hands irritably, and then suppressed his anger and said:
"For your sake, I have already pardoned the women and children of the Zhen family. You have done your best on this matter, so don't mention it again."

Emperor Jingshun's soft heart at the last moment is also inseparable from Yuanchun's persistence.

After all, this is his only biological mother.

No way, when the child grows older, he will be promoted to crown prince.

If the child becomes the legal heir of the Great Wei royal family, then Concubine Xiande will naturally be promoted to be the Queen of Great Wei.

Even the emperor should save some face for her.

In addition, it is true that the national mourning has not yet passed, if the old concubine's mother's family is wiped out.

It also really hindered his reputation of "benevolence and filial piety".

Emperor Jingshun chose to be merciful, leaving a way out for the women and children of the Zhen family.

But what he didn't expect was that he thought he had already given Concubine Xiande enough face.

Yuan Chun was not satisfied with this, he was delighted at first, and then said:

"What about the males of the Zhen family? Can you give them a way out for the sake of the old concubine and the children?"

She still looked at Emperor Jingshun expectantly, and then asked about the son of the Zhen family.

When Emperor Jingshun heard the words, he immediately lowered his face and said in a deep voice:
"Concubine Xiande, everything should be done in moderation. You have repeatedly asked for the Zhen family's affairs in front of Yu, and you are already worthy of the old concubine's spirit in heaven."

Having said that, he paused slightly, then tapped again:
"Now that the dust has settled, you should also think about it for the emperor, don't pester me any longer!"

Seeing that Emperor Jingshun was a little annoyed, Yuan Chun flinched and pushed back.

Then he gritted his teeth and straightened his posture, saying seriously:
"Your Majesty, the old concubine treated her courtiers and concubines with such kindness as a mountain before she was alive. The courtiers and concubines really cannot be ungrateful."

"Ha ha!"

Seeing that she still persisted, Emperor Jingshun laughed angrily.

"This matter involves tens of millions of silver from Lianghuai Salt Administration, collusion with Japanese pirates, and tens of millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Having said that, he looked at Yuan Chun playfully and asked:
"If you let the Zhen family go, causing public grievances, can you afford it? Or should the Jia family take care of it?"

These heart-breaking words made Yuan Chun's tears of fear fall.

But things have come to this point, she has no way to retreat.

At that moment, Fang Ren's face was full of tears, and without wiping it, he choked up and said:
"The old concubine's earnest teachings are still in my ears, the Holy Majesty ordered the concubine to treat the Zhen family with death..."

As she spoke, she fell limp on the ground.

The palace people next to him hurried over to help, but Yuan Chun threw them away and cried loudly:

"The concubine can't do it!"

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, Emperor Jingshun felt a little dull.

At that moment, he sighed, and said angrily:

"If it wasn't for a reason, I could put you in the cold palace just by meddling in politics in the harem!"

Emperor Jingshun's expression was so stern that Yuan Chun was so frightened that he forgot to cry.

But the firmness in her eyes remained the same.

This reminded Emperor Jingshun of Jia Zheng's previous stubbornness.

After all, they are father and daughter, they really look alike!

"Think about this matter carefully. If you still can't figure it out, go to the cold palace to calm down!"

Thinking of Jia Zheng, Emperor Jingshun no longer wants to entangle with Yuanchun.

He said coldly, and walked out of Fengzao Palace with his hands.

"Wow~!"

Here, Yuan Chun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Emperor Jing Shun leave.

Afterwards, the whole person sat there paralyzed.

He stared at the child not far away, lost in thought for a long time.

Obviously this isn't the first time this has happened.

The courtiers at the side were very colorful and retreated out one after another.

The encounter between Yuan Chun and Feng Yibo was like a dream.

It was her own choice to shatter this beauty.

Back in this icy palace.

Although in order to protect the family, Yuan Chun did not regret it,
But it doesn't mean that she can forget such a dreamlike beauty.

Even Yuan Chun firmly believed that his child belonged to Feng Yibo.

It was also because of this that every time Emperor Jingshun saw her.

Yuan Chun resisted the desire hidden in those eyes.

In the past few months, she has found various excuses to delay.

Days like this exhausted her every day.

Only when the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager fell ill, did they have a moment of relaxation.

Unexpectedly, it was this moment of relaxation that made her look much better.

Emperor Jingshun thought of himself again.

Fortunately, there is the excuse of the Zhen family.

But Yuan Chun also knew that the matter of the Zhen family was a foregone conclusion.

I can't wait too long.

Suddenly, Yuan Chun thought of something, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

"Come on!"

She quickly got up and called for someone, and picked up the child.

"The sage has ordered me to go to the cold palace to calm down."

It turned out that Yuanchun remembered what Emperor Jingshun said before leaving.

She immediately took people to the cold palace, as if planning to live there permanently.

All the concubines in the palace knew that she was running around for the Zhen family these days.

Seeing this noble concubine move into the cold palace at this time, everyone was secretly happy.

And Emperor Jingshun also soon learned of the news, and immediately had a headache.

If it wasn't for the only son, he really wanted to abolish Yuan Chun's concubine.

Yuan Chun imprisoned himself in the cold palace, trying to force him to let the Zhen family go?
That's a dream!

However, considering that the child is also in the cold palace, Emperor Jing Shun still cannot remain indifferent.

"Forget it, let her calm down for a while!"

Emperor Jingshun sighed, and then told Xia Bingzhong beside him:

"Send someone to pick up the prince, raise him in another garden, and send more experienced nuns to take care of him!"

He only thought that Yuan Chun was desperate for the Zhen family's sake.

But if he agrees, it will be a precedent for the harem to interfere in politics.

Moreover, the decision at the previous court meeting has also become a joke.

There is no way to agree to this matter.

Since she is pushing you with this, let her be calm and calm.

After Xia Bingzhong left, Emperor Jingshun murmured:

"I don't believe it, you can give up the child for the Zhen family?"
