Chapter 26
The next day, the old man from Feng's mansion personally handed a letter of invitation to the palace and asked for the meeting.
In order to make way for his son, Feng Yishan retired early. As a relative of the foreigner Feng Yishan, he was very sober. As long as his daughter did not make big mistakes and as long as his grandson could ascend the throne smoothly in the future, the glory of his family could continue for a long time. Therefore, Feng Yishan never took care of the affairs of the court. Even his son, Feng Yishan only let him do things in a regular manner and must not take on power and take charge of things. Therefore, Feng's family has always been low-key. Even if there is something wrong with the family, Feng Yishan has always said that he is sick and has not been here for a long time in this palace.
"Hello, Master, Lord of the Country." Fu Hailu, the eunuch leader of the Ganqing Palace, stepped forward to pay tribute to Feng Yishan, and said with a smile, "The emperor was very surprised when he read the adult's memorial in the morning. Lord has never entered the palace one day."
Feng Yishan smiled bitterly: "My family is confused and I didn't choose a good slave for the second prince. I have caused such troubles. It's all my fault for not being strict in managing the family. I really can't sit steadily at home, so I think of apologizing to the emperor. It's not so much, it's all mine."
Fu Hailu quickly waved his hand and said, "Oh, sir, don't say that, you don't know, the emperor was very moved after reading your memorial. He said it was hard for the adults to be so old that they still had to worry about these things. He hurriedly asked the servant to push the matter this morning and leave time to meet the adults. This is not... the adults who are discussing the matter are about to come out, and the adults can meet the emperor in a while."
Feng Yishan nodded, and the emperor was willing to see him.
The Emperor was able to succeed the throne successfully, and the Feng family made a lot of efforts. In recent years, the Feng family was very tactful and rarely caused trouble for the emperor. Therefore, the emperor still had some friendship with his father-in-law. Although the emperor had the intention of supporting other princes, it was not a matter of one day or another. Moreover, Qi Xiao was still sitting steadily on the throne of the prince. Before Qi Xiao was eliminated, the emperor would not deal with internal worries first.
The emperor has also figured it out these days. The princes are gradually growing older. Instead of cultivating the unscrupulous Qi Hua and suppressing other concubine-born princes, it is better to pay more attention to it and let them seize Qi Xiao’s position as the crown prince by themselves. Whoever wins to death in the future depends on their own ability. Which prince pulls Qi Xiao off the emperor does not care. As long as he has the means and wisdom, even the concubine-born prince is fine.
But this is all for the future. Before the suitable successor appears, the emperor did not want to break up with the Feng Mansion. Although... this recent incident made the emperor want to have a severe attack on the queen.
But no matter how dissatisfied with Empress Feng, the emperor did not expose his anger on Feng Yishan. Feng Yishan has been obedient for many years, and the emperor has always been very satisfied. Because of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor and the ministers were still very harmonious in the face of the emperor and the ministers.
The biggest purpose of Feng Yishan's entry into the palace this time was to personally confirm the emperor's attitude. Before the coachman died, Feng Yishan could confirm that the emperor did not doubt Qi Hua's head, but now he is so dying. After Queen Feng's men went to Dali Temple, the coachman was poisoned and died! Not to mention the emperor, even Feng Yishan couldn't help but suspect that Qi Hua might have done something foolishly on impulse.
Feng Yishan has been in the court for many years and is still a little cunning. He first talked to the emperor and slowly led the conversation to Dali Temple, trying his best to dispel the emperor's doubts. Feng Yishan was prepared, and seeing that the emperor treats him the same as before, he thought that it would not be a question for Queen Feng and Qi Hua to make up for a few strokes. Who knew that the emperor had just mentioned yesterday and the emperor picked up tea and said lightly: "My father-in-law is too careful. The empress manages the harem on weekdays, so she has no time to interfere in the previous matters. I know that this is not what she did, and I have never doubted it. Speaking of it..."
The emperor took a sip of tea and smiled: "The queen has worked hard all these years, and she has not been in good health. Now Qi Hua has not grown up, and she always makes her angry. Sometimes I think... it should be letting the queen take a break."
Feng Yishan's heart skipped a beat, tried his best to calm his mind, slowly put the teacup down and lowered his head and said, "The emperor favors the queen's phoenix body, and I am all over the house... and the emperor's kindness."
The emperor clicked and smiled faintly, "But unfortunately, the other concubines in the palace were too far behind the queen and couldn't help much. I have never let them cause trouble. Let the queen work hard..."
The emperor gave a sweet date with a stick, but Feng Yishan was still frightened. He had also seen that the emperor wanted to support other princes before, but he did not expect that the emperor would promote his son and mother. Feng Yishan had already made the worst plan before, that is, the emperor gave up Qi Hua completely, and after taking Qi Xiao, he changed the illegitimate prince to the crown prince. Feng Yishan even had confessed his son that the emperor would not act rashly in the future, and would only secretly bear the new crown prince's mother's concubine. In the future, Empress Feng will be the only empress dowager. As long as Empress Feng does not fall, the glory of Feng's mansion will not decline.
Feng Yishan never expected that the emperor had already thought about establishing another queen.
The emperor has the best face, so he naturally cannot do anything to depose the queen, but if he really wants to give the prince a legitimate identity to the future, he just needs to let the queen die silently and make another queen.
Feng Yishan was sweating all over, and he murmured a few words in his heart, and said calmly: "With the emperor's compassion, the empress will naturally not be afraid of hard work."
The emperor stopped when he ordered, and started chatting again. During lunch, he also gave Feng Yishan a meal. Feng Yishan felt like he was sitting on needles and needles, and the meal smelled like chewing wax. After leaving the palace and returning to the mansion, he hurriedly called Feng Guozhong to the room. After closing the door, the father and son said for half a day. After analyzing the pros and cons, Feng Yishan sighed: "Tomorrow is fifteen, let your wife enter the palace."
Feng Guozhong instantly understood what his father meant and nodded, "Don't worry, father, my son must have explained it clearly to Fang. If she asked her to persuade the queen, she would definitely... she would definitely not let the queen do anything else."
Feng Yishan sighed long: "Feng Shui turns around..."
Seeing his father sighing like this, Feng Guozhong was not feeling well. When he thought of what happened before, he felt like he swallowed a fly. The prince of Lingnan was staying in the side hall, and his prince and nephew insisted on teasing him, wanting to give him a warning. What happened? His majesty did not shake, and he scratched him. He got twenty steps away. Then he had to go to Maoer Hutong. Feng Guozhong knew that this was not done by Queen Feng and Qi Hua. It was not their fault, but what happened after that? Well, he had to send a eunuch to Dali Temple for a walk. As soon as he came back, the coachman was poisoned and died!
Feng Guozhong was not as calm as Feng Yishan and spat: "It would be fine if outsiders were really fleeing in, but this... is all a mess!"
Feng Yishan shook his head: "The Empress is anxious... It is also normal for human nature."
"What are you worried about? Those princes are not that easy to get up! My sister is just too easy to be impatient." Feng Guozhong took a sip of tea, "It's that prince! There's nothing scary about it. If something happens, it's up to you. He insists on doing something useless and gives people a talk for nothing..."
Feng Yishan smiled bitterly: "Are you worried about this? But you have something else to worry about as a father."
Feng Guozhong looked at Feng Yishan with a puzzled look: "What else is my father worried about?"
Feng Yishan slowly turned the jade ring in his hand for a while and said, "The emperor has other thoughts, so he is naturally anxious for his father, but now I am more worried about... the prince."
Feng Guozhong raised his eyebrows: "Crown Prince? This time... there is nothing wrong with the prince. Oh, yes, the marriage between the prince and the Princess Lingnan was ruined because of the incident in the side hall. This is no big deal. The prince can't do anything even if he is unhappy..."
"Don't you!" Feng Yishan's eyes were already a little confused, "Don't you think what you did before was too coincidental?! Everything has nothing to do with the prince, but the prince's final result is the prince's benefit! In this case, the emperor and the queen are distracted, and the princes have their own worries. You are fighting, who will benefit in the end?!"
Feng Guozhong was stunned and said in silence: "What my father meant is...these things were arranged by the prince? How could he...he..."
Feng Yishan shook his head: "I'm not sure, and there is no evidence, but if you put these things on and think deeper, you can't help but think about the prince. If these were arranged by the prince, you could do these things under the emperor's nose... Zhong'er, I used to underestimate him for my father."
Feng Yishan sighed in a low voice: "It's the seed of Emperor Wu..."
"That emperor..."
"I have already mentioned it to the emperor openly and secretly today, so that the emperor can be more alert, and to remind the emperor." Feng Yishan rubbed his faint eyes and whispered, "If the emperor cannot solve the prince early, then there is no need to worry about which prince should be appointed as a throne. If I am not wrong about the previous matter... Crown Prince Qi Xiao has never taken these princes in his eyes, nor has he regarded them as opponents. Even if he is the position of the prince, he probably didn't care."
Feng Guozhong laughed: "Then...what does he want?"
