A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 2046 Expulsion, Ten Years of Peace
Feng Qingchen was not worrying for no reason. There was always a group of people in this world who were bored to death. They did not do their work but kept staring at the trivial matters of the emperor and empress every day, and even called it that the emperor's family affairs were also state affairs.
The fact that Zhezhe killed a palace maid in public was known to the censors. A few stubborn and lofty men submitted a memorial, in which they subtly mentioned that the people of the queen's mother's family were too arrogant and killed innocent people indiscriminately.
Ordinary people cannot find out Zhezhe's identity, but because he was brought into the palace by Feng Qingchen, these people just want to make trouble for Feng Qingchen, so they naturally throw dirty water on Feng Qingchen.
They don’t dare to say anything bad about the emperor, but they dare not say anything wrong about a woman?
The Fengli clan did hold great power, but that was in the previous dynasty. The current Fengli clan is just a newly promoted military general, and the only useful person in the clan is Feng Liyou, who is still far away at the border. Even if he wanted to stand up for Feng Qingchen, it is too late.
Wang Jinling knew about the compromise before it was sent to the Ninth Prince. The reason why he did not reject it or secretly solve it for Feng Qingchen was that he wanted to put the matter on the table and let the Ninth Prince clear up the trouble for Feng Qingchen.
He is not the emperor. He can help Feng Qingchen block the enemy once, but not for a lifetime. Only the Ninth Uncle can give Feng Qingchen a peaceful world.
The Ninth Prince feels guilty towards Feng Qingchen. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to let the Ninth Prince establish his authority for Feng Qingchen, then how long will he have to wait?
Besides, the fact that the news could be leaked out of the palace so quickly showed that the Ninth Prince had no intention of keeping it secret. The impeachment in the Imperial Censor's memorial must have been within the Ninth Prince's expectations. He probably also wanted to take the opportunity to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys.
Sure enough, the Ninth Prince was furious in the hall and demoted the officials who submitted the memorial, but he did not explain at all the matter of Zhezhe's murder. He only ordered that the officials were not allowed to mention it again. There were a few old ministers who refused to give up and cried and talked in the hall. The Ninth Prince was furious and dragged them out and beat them with a stick.
The more obvious the Ninth Prince's favoritism is, the more people feel that Feng Qingchen has committed a serious mistake in this matter. The Ninth Prince's torture and suppression is just to prevent others from continuing to investigate and avoid implicating Feng Qingchen.
Everyone has bad nature. The more you forbid them to investigate, the more they will investigate. The Ninth Prince gave a mandatory order not to investigate further. Several people, including the prime minister and the three highest officials, started to investigate secretly.
These four people were the regents when Xiao Ba was the emperor. Their students and pupils were all over the court. Although they did not do as much as Wang Jinling, they held considerable power. At certain times, they even shared the emperor's power with Wang Jinling. They were also powerful figures in Dongling. However...
As soon as the Ninth Prince ascended the throne, he took control of all the power. They could no longer review memorials, formulate countermeasures, and exercise the emperor's rights as before. They even lost the right to appoint officials and gain benefits for themselves and their clansmen.
Their hearts, nurtured by power, had long since grown enlarged. Although they knew that the Ninth Prince was highly capable, these four people were unwilling to accept this and tried every possible means to seize power from the Ninth Prince, or to push the Ninth Prince off the throne and establish a puppet emperor.
Although the three ministers and the prime minister hid their thoughts deeply, the ninth prince was more skilled. The secret guards who monitored them closely had already analyzed their actions and thoughts from clues.
These four people actually wanted to take advantage of the constant external troubles in Dongling to create internal strife and seize the opportunity to seize power!
It has to be said that these four people are extremely ambitious and courageous. If they were to succeed, not only would the Ninth Prince's throne be in jeopardy, but even Dongling might not be able to be saved.
Beiling is eyeing the East Ling covetously. Although Nanling is in ruins, if something happens to East Ling, Nanling will definitely be able to come back to life and swallow up East Ling.
Facing these four people who only cared about power, the Ninth Prince showed no mercy. He originally wanted to set up a trap to lure the four people into it, but before he could do anything, Zhezhe killed someone in public. The Ninth Prince simply made a big fuss about it, making the four people think that this was a breakthrough, and they could use this incident to stir up dissatisfaction among the officials and the people towards the emperor and the empress...
If you don't seek death, you won't die. The three ministers and the prime minister had no idea that this was a trap. They had been blinded by power. They would never let go of such a good opportunity.
They must let the world know that the emperor is incompetent and the queen is immoral!
Feng Qingchen, who didn't pay attention to the previous dynasty, knew that this matter was unusual, but those who were immersed in the power center couldn't see through it. Seeing that the Ninth Prince's attitude was getting tougher and tougher, the three ministers and the prime minister believed that the Ninth Prince was guilty.
At their instruction, the disciples and in-laws of the four began to rush around and collect charges related to Feng Qingchen. For a time, memorials impeaching Feng Lizu and Zhezhe poured onto the desk like snowflakes.
Although Zhezhe's identity is difficult to find out, it is not that difficult if you are determined to find out. All the cruel methods used by Zhezhe in the past have been dug out one by one, and Feng Qingchen has become an accomplice who condones and shelters Zhezhe.
"These people are really out of their minds. Feng Liyou has made great achievements in the war, and Emperor Nanling is about to be escorted to the capital. They actually impeached me at this moment. They really think that there is no one left in my Feng Li clan." Feng Qingchen threw the memorial in his hand away: "Don't show me this kind of thing in the future." There is nothing to worry about.
The Ninth Prince waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to take the memorial away. Seeing Feng Qingchen's angry face, he said, "Do you want to make Doudou's identity public?"
"No need, I know you have a trick up your sleeve." Doudou is her trump card. She has not reached the end of her rope yet, so there is no need to expose her relationship with Doudou.
“You trust me so much?” The Ninth Prince stepped forward and held Feng Qingchen in his arms. He took hold of Feng Qingchen’s hand and began massaging her fingers one by one. Feng Qingchen looked satisfied and nestled in the Ninth Prince’s arms…
Alas... He is really going backwards now. If he wants to be alone with Feng Qingchen, he has to use the name of official business to lure Feng Qingchen out. Otherwise, he can only sit next to Naibao and wait for Feng Qingchen to remember him...
"Will you hurt me?" Feng Qingchen looked like he was enjoying it and moved his body to make himself more comfortable.
She had always believed that even if the Ninth Prince pushed her to the forefront again and again, he would save her life and not let her die before him. If the incident on the Cliff of Destiny happened again, she would pay for her mistrust with her own life...
"Of course not. I swear on my life." The Ninth Prince raised his hand to swear, then looked down at Feng Qingchen who didn't care at all. Knowing that Feng Qingchen believed in him, the Ninth Prince felt relieved, and he hugged her in his arms again and took the initiative to explain.
"Although I hold great power, the court is not united. There are always some people who are willing to sell out the Yin family for their own benefit. I don't want civil strife to occur in Dongling, so I plan to take this opportunity to completely expel that group of people and eradicate them. In this way, we can at least have peace for more than ten years, and with more than ten years, I can also govern the country with peace of mind and prepare for the attack on Beiling."
He would never allow internal strife to bring down Dongling!
