Chapter 252

"Why does Qi'er hate governor Xiao so much?"

In the back palace of the former dynasty, those who flattered Xiao Chu called him 9000 years old, and those who hated him called him Xiao castrated dog. Concubines such as Wan Jilan held their own status. Even if they wanted to flatter him or hate him from the bottom of their heart, they would not go too far. Therefore, they called each other more factory officials and governors.

"Because he's not a good man."

Zong Zhengqing Qi said that the other party, as a big merchant, did not give more persuasion when his father was addicted to Dandao. Instead, he took the opportunity to support his own forces, eliminate dissidents and disrupt the court platform. Everyone should be punished for such treachery.

Looking at her son's childish face, Wan Jilan was disappointed. Yes, once upon a time, the boy standing on the wall of Dingfeng pass, pointing to the vast grassland in the northwest, confidently told her that when he grew up, he would replace his father and guard the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for the big business people. He had already degenerated into a look she didn't know.

He became cold-blooded, cruel and insensitive. Everyone in and out of the palace knew his reputation. Even the threat of ordinary people to stop children crying at night became that if they were not obedient, governor Xiao of the east hall would send royal guards to drag them to the torture department.

Zong zhengqingqi was puzzled. Was there anything wrong with what he said? Gong Xueli, other imperial nephews and some accompanying readers all said that. Even the Taifu implicitly expressed his dissatisfaction.

Therefore, Zong Zhengqing Qi was puzzled by the melancholy at the bottom of her mother's eyes at this time.

"You say governor Xiao is not a good man. Has he ever done anything rebellious and rebellious?" When Wan Qilan knew that she had lost her manners, she took back her disappointed eyes, turned her eyes to her childish son, took his hand and sat on the bench.

"During his father's indulgence in alchemy, eunuchs did politics, which was against the ancestral system." Zong Zhengqing Qi thought and said loudly.

"That's what your father ordered."

Wan Qilan answered softly.

"Can... Can..." Zong Zhengqing Qi didn't expect that his mother imperial concubine would give him such a reply. It sounds reasonable, but the reality is completely different.

No matter how smart he is, he is now just a little prince who is only ten years old. Most of his studies are four books and five classics. The Taifu doesn't dare to teach more about things above the court, so he can only rely on his own exploration.

But even so, Zongzheng Qingqi also knew that Xiao Chu was wrong. As a eunuch, even if his father was confused and handed over the things above the court to him, he should die and refuse.

"He arrested Li Yushi, Lord Li. Li Yushi was loyal to the big business and his father. Xiao Chu should not falsely accuse each other and put him in prison because of his personal resentment."

Zong Zhengqing Qi thought that even if it was the father's order for the eunuch Xiao Chu to intervene in the government, it was not the father's order to frame Zhongliang, right?

How can such an unfaithful and unrighteous man deserve the trust of his father and Emperor.

Of course, although Zong Zhengqing Qi didn't say it, she also complained about her father and emperor in her heart. If it weren't for the other party's old age, regardless of right and wrong, and favoring the treacherous cunning like Xiao Chu, there wouldn't be a sad voice and a miasma in the hall now.

"It was your father who ordered Li Yushi to be put in prison."

Wan Jilan's tone is still tepid. Rao is Zongzheng Qingqi's heart is full of false fire. She can't get angry with such a mother imperial concubine.

"But that's because of Xiao Chu's slander." Zong zhengqingqi felt that she was about to be taken into the ditch by her mother, but the little prince who knew her position still adhered to the bottom line and was determined not to be taken by her mother.

Otherwise, according to the mother imperial concubine, Xiao Chu was right, and it was all the father's fault.

"Even if Xiao Chu slanders Li Yushi, it will be useful only if your father and Emperor listen."

Wan Jilan held his son's hand and thought to himself that his son studied hard these days, and his thin fingers didn't feel the same as before. When his son returned to the front hall this time, he had to bring more confidants.

But thinking about it in my heart, I didn't stop talking.

"Besides, you said governor Xiao slandered Li Yushi. How do you know that what he said is slander?"

The mother imperial concubine's rhetorical question stunned Zong Zhengqing Qi: "isn't Li Yushi a loyal minister?"

Since Li Yushi is a loyal minister, Xiao Chu, who arrested him and put him in prison, is naturally a villain.

"How do you know that Li Yushi is a loyal minister?" Wan Jilan continued to ask.

"That's what everyone says?" Zong Zhengqing and Qi were thinking.

The Taifu said that and the accompanying reader said that, and when the father emperor was addicted to alchemy, the other party could admonish him with death, hoping that the father emperor would be far away from villains, close to virtuous officials and pay attention to the government. Isn't this what loyal officials did?

"Everyone follows suit. This is what the Taifu in Gong Xue taught you?"

Wan Jilan sighed, slowly shook his head and looked at the disappointed mother imperial concubine. Zong Zhengqing Qi was a little flustered. He pulled the mother imperial concubine's sleeve and didn't know what he said or did wrong.

"In the 18th year of Chengqing, Li Yushi's second son forcibly occupied the fertile land, resulting in four deaths and nine injuries of the villagers in Taohua village..." Wan Qilan whispered about the charges of Li Yushi's family. If Xiao Chu was present, he would be surprised. The crimes said by the other party were almost the same as those he threatened Li Jinzhong in his cell at that time.

"Li Jinzhong's official worship of the censor not only did not become an example of all officials and make decisions for the people. On the contrary, he connived at his sons and daughters to harm their neighbors. Even he used his position to erase the criminal evidence for his sons and daughters who violated the law. Is Li Yushi really a loyal minister praised by everyone in your mouth?"

Listening to her mother's words, Zong Zhengqing Qi was stunned. For the first time, she was immersed in the shock that Lord Li praised by the original Taifu and accompanying readers was such a person. Instead, she didn't notice why Wan Jilan, as a woman in the deep palace, knew so many things outside the Palace.

What's more, if Li Jinzhong wants to be a loyal minister and keep his legend in history books, he will definitely hide the actions of the unworthy descendants of the Li family. Well, it's just a general means. He can't find out the deep secrets hidden by the other party.

In the past, wanjilan, who did not show mountains and dew in the deep palace and seemed to rely on the power of wanjiyi family to protect herself in the struggle between concubine Jiang and Princess De, is it really just as simple as she showed?

"Li Jinzhong, fearing to offend your father, only dares to point the spear at governor Xiao. What he gambles on is that he admonishes him with death. As long as your father doesn't want to be the faint king in history books, he will never kill him. He seems loyal, but in fact he is a hypocritical villain. Such a person is worthy of the emperor. Do you hold grievances for him?"

Wan Jilan sighed and said to his son, "If today he dares to point his nose and scold your father for his stupidity, I will respect him, but he dare not accuse the culprit, but he scolds governor Xiao for no reason. If he has such an end today, it can only be said that he is to blame himself."

"Can... Can Xiao Chu... Xiao Chu really intervened in the government as an eunuch, as Li Yushi said? This is contrary to etiquette and law."

Zong zhengqingqi's mind was confused. He always felt that he seemed to be taken to the ditch by his mother imperial concubine.

"Didn't the mother imperial concubine say before that governor Xiao was in charge of politics. That's what your father asked." Wan Jilan touched his son's head with a little worry in his eyes. It seemed that he was worried that his son's head was not working well.

"Can... Can..."

Zongzheng Qingqi stammered and couldn't speak.

Xiao Chu was asked by his father to do politics. He framed Zhongliang, but Zhongliang was unfaithful and bad. Moreover, his mother was right. Xiao Chu was slandered, but someone had to listen to his slander. In the end, the most problematic thing was his father's failure?

What role does Xiao Chu play in it? His father forced him to intervene in politics. He slandered because his father liked to listen. Is it difficult for him to be a pure water lotus?

Zong Zhengqing Qi thought there was something wrong with which link, but she couldn't get around in the maze woven by her mother.

He still thinks Xiao Chu is not a good man, but his position at the moment is not as firm as when he first returned to yanyunxuan.

In order to prevent the prince and his mother from being too close, every prince over the age of six spent only a few times a month alone with his biological mother. Zong zhengqingqi stayed in yanyunxuan for lunch. After that, both mother and son tacitly avoided the topic of imperial politics. In the future, Wan Jilan had to send the emperor away.

But this time, when Zong Zhengqing Qi left, there were two more servants around her. One was the big maid who waited on WAN Jilan, and the other was the mother who made snacks in her small kitchen in Yanyun Xuan.

As a concubine master, Wan Jilan wants to arrange some people to serve her son. This little request is still OK.

Looking at the shadow of his son's passing away, Wan waited for LAN's faint sadness in his heart. Now his son hates Xiao Chu so much, I'm afraid his original plan will be more and more difficult to implement.

Ah, I can only take one step at a time. I hope the people she arranges around her son can play their role.

"Madam, there's a letter."

The old woman beside Wan Jilan came over with a slender hairpin. Wan Jilan folded the hairpin at will. It turned out that the gold hairpin was hollow. With her action, she exposed the rolled paper inside.

"I'll see you at Bibo Pavilion when Haizi is handed over."

The imperial concubine of the former Emperor once lived in Bibo Pavilion, but the imperial concubine later did not know why she angered the former Emperor. Since then, Bibo pavilion has been sealed. The imperial concubine can't stand the blow of falling out of favor and hanged herself in Bibo Pavilion. The women in the palace dislike the bad luck of Bibo Pavilion and would rather squeeze into a palace with other imperial concubines than move to Bibo Pavilion. Over time, Then it becomes a cold palace.

And because there is a rumor in the palace that the grievances of the first imperial concubine will not disappear after her death, people in the Bibo Pavilion can often be heard crying in the middle of the night. Gradually, everyone began to avoid the Bibo Pavilion. The palace maids and eunuchs were unwilling to clean there for fear of being entangled by the grievances of the first imperial concubine.

Wan Jilan burned the note to black ash. Unexpectedly, the man took the initiative to contact her. It seems that she has already seen what she asked him to investigate before.
