Zhao Fujin, the Emperor who brought disaster to the country

Chapter 48 Guess the truth
"It's possible!" Zhao Fujin actually laughed when he heard this speculation: "If it is true, it will be difficult for them to harm me."

"Ah? Di Ji, if it is true that the old man of the Fang family used this mother and daughter to commit adultery and murder with Qin Xiang, wouldn't it be even more troublesome for you?" Qiong Ye didn't understand why Di Ji heard about it and not only was she not worried , and seemed a little more relaxed.

"No matter whether Qin Xiang's crime is true or not, your concubine and I received 50 taels of silver from Mrs. Bai. This cannot be false." Zhao Fujin stretched out his slender and round fingers, raised them slightly, and wrapped the table He picked up the good hand stove, held it in his arms, and said slowly: "If my guess is correct, Meng plans to take this matter to court for me and Mrs. Bai."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or Prince Jia, which one will she unite with to deal with me? This really makes people curious."

……

East Palace.

Prince Zhao Huanji loved raising fish. Even before the snow fell, all the fish in the Huagang Fish Viewing Terrace in his courtyard were picked up and put into several large tanks behind the nine-curved bead curtain.

Zhao Huan held a wooden hammer in one hand and fish food in the other. After smashing the thin ice on the surface of the large tank, he watched the fish come over to grab the fish food with a satisfied smile on his face: "It's still too cold here. It's late." After a while, you can find some more people to come over and move some more porcelain jars into it, but don’t freeze to death my treasures!"

The few servants around him quickly bowed and followed Zhao Huan, praising the lively fish in the tank.

"Your Highness!" A voice came from the palace, and a beauty in purple clothes walked out of the palace in a pretty way: "It's so cold, why are you still playing with fish? Come in and warm your hands!"

"Crown Princess!" The servants in the courtyard saluted the beauty in purple when they saw her coming out.

The purple-clothed beauty who came out had a surname of Zhu and a given name of Lian. Zhao Ji personally officiated the wedding in June last year and took the throne of the East Palace.

In October, she gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Chen, and her position in the harem became stronger.

She was born with a beautiful appearance, but now that she has Lin'er for the first time, her figure is plumper and more charming, and her pretty face is a bit angry, which makes her even more lively and lovely. When Zhao Huan, a new father, sees it, he becomes very happy. Give birth to pity:

"I'm going in right away. It's so cold, so hurry up and go into the palace!"

As he spoke, he quickly walked over to Zhu Lian, took her slender hand, pulled her into his arms with his cloak, and said reproachfully: "Look, you are also a mother. Now that you have left the palace, you can't even leave the palace." I didn’t even wear a cloak, look, my hands are cold.”

"Your Highness~~" Zhu Lian's voice was gentle, and he followed Zhao Huan's steps into the palace, but he did not forget to ask: "What did the officials say at the court meeting today?"

"What else can I say?" Zhao Huan's emotion immediately turned into grief and anger, and he said angrily: "My father said that the fifth sister is modest by nature and fair in dealing with things. Let the ministers investigate clearly and then reply."

"The facts are clearly in front of you! Mrs. Bai gave her 50 taels, this must not be fake!

As a result, when my father heard this, he immediately became angry and said that I stretched my hand too far. He was not dead yet, so I came out to squeeze on my blood sisters! "

"Your Highness~~" Zhu Lian had a bit of sadness on his face, patted Zhao Huan's shoulder comfortingly, and leaned his head on it: "This is also strange. In the past, the sisters who were pampered by the officials in the harem are still There was some sense of propriety, why did it suddenly become like this?

You said~~"

At this point, she stopped suddenly, as if she didn't know what to say next.Zhao Huan was comforted by his beloved wife, and he finally felt a little calmer. Seeing that Zhu Lian seemed hesitant, he immediately waved away the palace attendants who followed him: "You all go and wait outside the palace!"

When the people in the palace saw the prince and the princess entering the inner hall together, they were already prepared. As soon as Zhao Huan's words came out, the inner hall suddenly dispersed and only one Zhong Liangdi was left.

Zhong Liangdi was brought in from her natal family by Zhu Lian, and she is a considerate person.

Zhu Lian glanced at her and let her go forward to take off Zhao Huan's cloak and hang it up. Then he leaned next to the charcoal basin and watched the fire, as quiet as a wooden stake.

"Your Highness, tell me, did Emperor Mingde use any magic to bewitch the officials?" Zhu Lian's slender jade hand was wrapped around Zhao Huan's waist, and he said timidly: "Concubine I have never had a clue about these nagging things. I heard from my father and brother earlier that it seemed that Emperor Mingde took things from afar in front of the ministers and took out many things."

"I've also heard about this." Zhao Huan thought of this and felt a little depressed: "Her mother was just a nagging person, but my father just fell in love with her."

"However, no matter how talkative Concubine Liu is, she has never performed this trick! Do you think she is some kind of monster?" Zhu Lianjian spoke implicitly. Zhao Huan did not understand the meaning, so he had to emphasize again:
"My father originally believed in Taoism. If someone with evil intentions uses some magic to confuse my father, then our Song Dynasty will be in danger, Your Highness!"

"You're right!" Zhao Huan was shocked and at a loss: "But if she is really a monster, there is nothing we can do against her! My father has valued her very much since she took things from the air. , just belittled me and Ninth Brother for no reason, but actually gave her such great authority, allowing her to buy and sell official positions in the DPRK, nepotism!
What do you mean, a woman who has not yet left the court, wants so much money?Could it be that he wants to compete for the world? "

The more Zhao Huan thought about it, the more frightened he became: "This is going to be troublesome. My father believes in her. He has been derogatory towards me these days. Even if I told him this, there is no way he would believe it!"

"Your Highness, don't panic!" Zhu Lian hurriedly consoled her: "Her foundation is not stable right now, and we still have something to plan for.

Our dynasty, since the founding of the country by Taizu, has clearly stipulated that women like Princess Taiping of the previous dynasty would disrupt the government.As long as Your Highness persists in this and unites with all the ministers in the court to infiltrate her, I don’t believe that she can’t be defeated! "

"That can't be done!" Zhao Huan waved his hands repeatedly and said: "My father is very young and strong, and he is most afraid of me getting along with the ministers. If there is solid evidence and he fails to defeat her, I might fall in front of her first."

This is true!
Zhu Lian said with some depression: "Then, His Highness really can't come forward to give advice! I don't understand, what is the purpose of this fifth sister? She is only one year younger than me, how dare she be so bold? What a foolhardy act?

You said it's okay to buy and sell official positions, but why do you dare to accept money from death row prisoners to buy their lives?What on earth does she want to do by charging so much money?I haven’t seen any over-the-counter items in her palace..."

"Lian'er, tell me, is she helping my father to make money?" Zhao Huan thought and couldn't hold it back any longer. His eyes lit up: "So, my father used various means to make money by buying and selling official positions on her. He ignored her and treated her so lightly even when she committed a crime!
Yes, my father must be planning to build the stone courtyard in the northeast corner!

In the past, Xianggong Cai did these things, which caused a lot of criticism and even damaged the reputation of his father!

Right now, the fifth sister is helping him make money without anyone noticing. Even if word gets out, it will only be said that the fifth sister is causing harm to the country and the country.

And my father got the money and quietly built Gen Yue. He didn't need to take money from the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he wouldn't face any resistance from the court..."

The more Zhao Huan thought about it, the more he felt that he knew the truth. He hit his head with a snap: "I am so stupid that I kept pursuing the fifth sister's money-making thing!
No wonder I was scolded and disliked by my father, because this is the reason! "
