Chapter 500 Burned
Sure enough, what Jia Wangshi knew was more than what Wang Xifeng heard before her death in her previous life.
The Northern King colluded not only with the old nobles of Nanjing and their connections, but also with his clan relatives and in-laws, and even with several small countries overseas.
However, this collusion started more than ten years ago. At that time, the old Northern King was still the one in charge of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, and his goal was also very clear:
The crown prince's position is unstable, but if it were any other prince, these founding heroes would not have a good ending.
So they have to use all their strength to ensure that the prince ascends the throne smoothly.
Unfortunately, before this matter could be accomplished, the Old Northern King passed away.
However, this matter has actually won the approval of several family heads. Even Wang Xifeng's grandfather, Jia Wang's father, privately expressed his agreement with this view:
If another prince ascends the throne, the four kings and eight dukes will surely fall quickly.
Jia Wangshi added a malicious sentence in the memorial: My eldest brother Wang Zifu was standing beside me and nodded in agreement.
As a matter of course, Shui Rong took over the Northern Palace. The Concubine Dowager taught him not to go against the royal family, but the young and energetic Shui Rong pretended to obey.
Etc., etc.
As for the Rong and Ning mansions, the old Northern King had already been in the She and Jing periods during the same period. Jia was the trusted minister prepared by the then Shengping Emperor for his beloved prince, so it was natural for her to stand on the side of the old Northern King.
When the old Northern King passed away, Shui Rong was still young. He picked a man from among the crowd, and wanted his son to be able to hold the throne in the future, and also to have a certain talent and status.
So he sent away the other three kings in front of his sickbed, and solemnly entrusted the power in his hands to She and Jing, asking them to assist his son.
The two brothers were ambitious and hardworking at first, but soon discovered that the prince's mind and interests were just that of an ordinary playboy.
While relaxing, the two couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
What followed was the chaos of fighting for the throne.
Jia Jing was smart. He passed the title to his son first and went out of the city to practice Taoism.
When the time came, Jia She did not dare to follow the prince in raising an army, but instead turned to Emperor Shengping.
The power of the old heroes subsided.
However, as the Northern King grew up, he regained his father's ambitions. In addition, the newly appointed Crown Prince was extremely disgusted with the idea of his ministers forming factions.
As a result, the old Northern King’s statement that “the old heroes will definitely fail” was quietly spread again.
Coincidentally, the idle son sent to the palace by the Zhen family actually blossomed and borne fruit, and now they had a prince!
Only then did everyone rekindle their fighting spirit.
Wang Xifeng held the memorial, feeling angry and amused at the same time: "Are you dragging all the four kings and eight dukes into this? And you're even going to spare some of the clan members?"
Chen Duo smiled and said, "Yes. Your Majesty, please let your Majesty have a look. Please be aware of the situation."
"Isn't this embarrassing?! The emperor's face is almost swollen!" Wang Xifeng sighed, turned around, and started burning with the light of the lamp.
Chen Duo was startled and tried to rush over to grab it, but he didn't dare to stretch out his hand in front of Wang Xifeng. He opened his mouth and stood there in a daze.
Wang Xifeng shook her head: "This thing can't be spread out. It will directly put the emperor in opposition to the old ministers in the court.
"The person who submitted the memorial is an idiot, we can't follow suit and make the same mistake.
"Take your time to deal with those silent families. Just look at the illegal things they have done and find a few of their enemies to support them privately."
Chen Duo also reacted. He realized that Jia Wangshi was not only stupid, but also so vicious. It was really unbearable!
I couldn't help but whispered, "Madam, if Lady Jia Wang behaves like this, why not let her commit suicide tonight..."
Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look, she really has made me stupid, hasn't she?
"If you just leak a little bit of the contents of this memorial, someone will do it for you. Why bother ruining your own practice?"
Chen Duo admitted his mistake promptly, reported that Jia Zheng and Shi Ding were two days' journey away from the capital, and then took his leave.
Wang Xifeng raised her chin and said, "There's no need to keep these two whereabouts too secret."
Chen Duo felt a chill on his back and stepped back.
But it was not until he walked outside the Yinyu Palace that he dared to raise his sleeves and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Suddenly, there was a light jump on the ground. Wu Jin stood at his feet, raised his head, meowed, and looked at him.
Chen Duo was almost frightened to death. He smiled and bowed to Wu Jin, and whispered, "Please don't blame me, my lord. I still have to reply to the emperor, so I have to leave quickly.
"If you have anything to say, please ask Bannu to tell it to me!"
He ran away holding his robe.
Wu Jin said nothing, looked at his back, stood up straight and shook his beard.
Then, his whole body tensed up, he turned his head abruptly, his pupils shrank tightly, gradually becoming vertical, and he stared at a clump of flowers and trees opposite the Yinyu Palace.
The tree swayed gently, and a slender and nimble figure slowly walked out, with a bright smile appearing under the moonlight:
"Ugin... sir...?"
Wu Jin let out a long whimper from his throat, and the hook-like claws on his two front paws stretched out from the pads of his flesh. He lowered his body slightly, assuming the standard posture before attacking!
"But Shi Ronghua?" Chun Nuanweilu appeared at the door of the hall in surprise.
The bright smiling face shook and looked at Chunnuan: "Miss Chunnuan, I can't sleep, let's take a walk."
"The Imperial Concubine said, please come in and have a cup of hot drink." Chunnuan invited politely.
Shi Jincheng agreed with a smile and walked over quickly and briskly. When he entered the hall, he glanced back, only to find that Wu Jin was no longer there.
Wang Xifeng didn't even change her posture. She still leaned on the bed and read under the lamp.
When Shi Jincheng came in to pay his respects and knelt down on his knees to perform his solemn ceremony, Chunnuan and An'er looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.
Only Wang Xifeng remained motionless, lowering her head to read a book, and even raised her hand to point outside.
The two bowed their heads and left, closing the door. They agreed to walk a little further away, sit down in the corridor where they couldn't hear the whispers inside, and chat quietly.
Wang Xifeng read for half an hour.
Shi Jincheng knelt on the ground motionless for half an hour.
"You're pregnant, why don't you take good care of the baby and give birth to the child? " Wang Xifeng finally closed the book.
Shi Jincheng then raised his head. His face and eyes had turned red from kneeling for too long. His eyes were gleaming, making him look even weirder:
"Shi Jincheng is willing to serve the Queen as his master for three generations!"
"Look at your own eyes..." Wang Xifeng picked up a small mirror and handed it to her.
Shi Jincheng looked at his own eyes in the mirror and his shoulders shook slightly.
"I have no shortage of loyal servants, but the palace is short of children. Just give birth to a child for the emperor, that's all."
Wang Xifeng didn't even look at her. She reached out and took the small mirror back and threw it beside her.
"Life in the palace is long, and with so many children, time is easy to pass.
“I like having many children.
“But I don’t like to be busy.”
