"Dead, all dead."
The servants in the Yong'an Earl's Mansion screamed in terror.
The doctors were too late to save him.
The palace received the news and sent the imperial physician, but it was too late.
All the masters of the mansion, except the wife of the Earl of Yong'an and Lin San, died suddenly.
Lin San was lucky to escape, but unfortunately, he became a suspected murderer.
In the past few months, Earl Yong'an has repeatedly tried to kick his son Lin San out of the family and remove him from the family tree.
But because it was the mourning period for the old lady, Lin San knew that the Yong'an Earl's Mansion could not accommodate him. In order to avoid being kicked out, he copied scriptures for the old lady every day and offered them in front of the Buddha.
It shows his filial piety towards the old lady.
The old lady of the Yong'an Earl loved Lin San the most. When she died, Lin San was the saddest. In front of the old lady's mourning hall, he dragged his body, which was injured by the Yong'an Earl, and fainted from crying many times.
This filial piety is very touching.
It also gave Earl Yong'an the possibility of clearing his name.
But after Bei Lingyao became pregnant, it became difficult for Lin San to clear his name.
His reason for divorcing his wife on the grounds of childlessness was untenable.
The Earl of Yong'an despised his son, but was unwilling to bear the reputation of being a tiger that eats its own cubs.
I just want to wait until the old lady's mourning period is over before dealing with Lin San.
However, he did not expect that he would eventually face revenge from Lady Yong'an.
It is no exaggeration to say that women have the most vicious hearts.
The Lady of Yong'an is going to completely destroy the entire Earl of Yong'an.
The master of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, the clan elders and clan women who were invited to divide the family property, and some respected servants were all dead.
This is really a big deal.
When Lady Yong'an learned that Lin San was fine and still alive, she became furious.
The person she wanted to kill the most was Lin San, and the second was Earl of Yong'an.
But I didn't expect that Lin San was not dead.
The wife of the Earl of Yong'an immediately destroyed the evidence, cleaned up the mess, and put the blame on Lin San.
"My lady, this is so satisfying."
Shi Liu was overjoyed and told Bei Lingyao the news she had heard from outside.
"Then Lin San was arrested."
"Well, what crime did he commit?"
Bei Lingyao pretended not to know. She had completely forgotten about the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion these days. She didn't expect that due to her momentary negligence, the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion would cause such a big incident.
“He poisoned the entire Yong’an Earl’s Mansion’s master, as well as the clan elders and clan women who came to preside over the division of the family, and also ate those servants who were favored.
It's so tragic! Lin San actually poisoned the water. Everyone in the Yong'an Marquis's mansion died except for a few servants. Oh, and the Yong'an Marquis's wife is still alive. She was unwell and didn't come out, so she escaped. "
Madam Qu was puzzled. "Although I dislike Lin San, how could he have the ability to poison the entire mansion? Wasn't he beaten so badly at the Duke of Xun's mansion that he couldn't get out of bed? I heard that when the old lady of Yong'an died, Lin San crawled to her death. Later, the servants were moved by Lin San's filial piety and carried him to the old lady's mourning hall."
Aunt Qu was talking about something that had already spread outside.
Shi Liu paused, "Is that the wife of the Earl of Yong'an?"
Only the Lady of the Yong'an Earl has this ability.
Nanny Qu nodded: "The wife of the Earl of Yong'an does have this ability, but..."
Madam Qu looked at Bei Lingyao and said, "Your Majesty, we can't take this lightly. I'm worried that someone with ulterior motives will lead this dirty water towards you."
"Madam, you are right to be worried. I will tell Eunuch Zhang about this."
When Bei Lingyao became Emperor Jiahe, he had no trouble using Zhang De, the all-powerful steward, but now that he has returned to his own body, he needs Emperor Jiahe's consent to use Zhang De.
Emperor Jiahe came over and said that he already knew about the Yong'an Earl's Mansion.
"Don't worry, Yao'er. I've already asked the Black Xuan Guards to investigate. The dirty water from Earl Yong'an can't be thrown on you."
Bei Lingyao said, "I'm not worried about myself. After all, I and the Bei family have little foundation in the capital, and we don't have the ability to do this. But the emperor is not necessarily worried. If you suspect me, it's better to suspect the emperor. The emperor can also take this opportunity to see who is behind the rebellion."
Emperor Jiahe also thought about this problem. He sat down, took a sip of tea, and sighed, "I hope it's not the Yang family."
Bei Lingyao looked at Emperor Jiahe, "What if it's the Yang family?"
What if the Yang family throws dirty water and Emperor Jiahe finds out?
"Grandfather is seventy years old this year. He doesn't want to retire, but he also wants to help his uncles get back on their feet..."
Emperor Jiahe got a headache whenever he talked about the Yang family. He could not be ruthless and unrighteous towards the Yang family.
The Yang family played a big role in his growth and help.
But as an emperor, Emperor Jiahe was unwilling to see the Yang family become so powerful that it threatened the imperial power.
In the past, the mother and son were in the harem and were protected by the Yang family. Many people in the harem were trained by the Yang family. Without the Yang family, the mother and son would have died in the harem long ago.
But now, the identity has changed.
Emperor Jiahe felt that the Yang family was overreaching, interfering in his harem and trying to manipulate him as the emperor. He already had great power, but they were still not satisfied.
This made Emperor Jiahe very dissatisfied, and he did not want to confront the Yang family.
"I don't want to be at odds with the Yang family. It will be very difficult for my mother."
"Has the Emperor had a frank and open conversation with the Prime Minister?"
"Why not? My grandfather is old and wants to make plans for my uncles. He hopes that the Yang family will marry into the royal family and become one. Isn't this embarrassing for me? The Yang family is so powerful and they want to produce a queen and a queen mother. They have been doing this for generations. How can I allow this?"
Bei Lingyao was speechless. The Yang family had good intentions, but they were too greedy.
They didn't even think that their request was excessive. Perhaps in the eyes of the Yang family, the empress dowager was the daughter of the Yang family, and the emperor was the grandson of the Yang family, and they were the ones who brought them to power.
Without the support of their Yang family, there would be no empress dowager and emperor.
But the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are not puppets of the Yang family.
It is not easy to balance the imperial power and the power of the ministers.
Tolerating the Yang family will only allow the power of ministers to override that of the emperor. Now Emperor Jiahe can still control it, but after the next emperor, they will truly be puppets of the Yang family.
"My eldest uncle was the Minister of the Supreme Court before. If he hadn't been demoted, he would have naturally been promoted. When my grandfather retired, he would have replaced him as the second Prime Minister of the Yang family. I didn't do what they wanted. Now my grandfather wants my eldest uncle to be the Prince's Tutor, my second uncle to be a Vice Minister in the Six Ministries, and my uncle, the Duke of Kangguo, to be the Director of the Imperial Academy."
The more Emperor Jiahe spoke, the more his expression turned grim. "I was too lenient in the past, which is why they took advantage of me."
My goodness, Bei Lingyao was shocked by the Yang family's self-righteousness and their exorbitant demands.
Generally speaking, officials have to retire when they reach the age of seventy.
However, Prime Minister Yang, the Duke of Cheng'en, was unwilling to step down and wanted his eldest son Yang Chengye, who was demoted to the Minister of the Honglu Temple by Bei Lingyao, to become the Grand Tutor of Crown Prince Jing Muyao.
Yang Chengye, the prince of Yachengen, was originally the third-rank Dali Temple Minister, but was demoted to the fourth-rank Honglu Temple Minister. Now he wants to be promoted to the first-rank Prince Taifu.
Prime Minister Yang's second son is a prefect of the fourth rank. He now wants to join one of the six ministries and serve as a left or right vice minister of the second rank.
Prime Minister Yang's nephew, Duke Kangguo, is the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, a third-rank official, and now wants to be the director of the Hanlin Academy, a second-rank official.
Seeing that the queen's father had lost his position, he became obsessed with it.
The Yang family wants to fly to the sky.
