I am a Big Villain

252. Perverted Factory Man 3

"Why does Qier hate Governor Xiao so much?"

In this former harem, those who flattered Xiao Chu called him Nine Thousand Years Old, and those who hated him called him Xiao Shigou. Concubines like Wan Qilan maintained their status, even if they wanted to flatter him or hated him from the bottom of their hearts. On the surface, he would not go too far, so he addressed the other party as "Factory Lord" or "Governor".

"Because he's not a good person."

Zongzheng Qingqi said without hesitation that as a member of the Great Shang Dynasty, the other party did not persuade his father when he was obsessed with alchemy. Instead, he took the opportunity to strengthen his own power, eliminate dissidents, and bring trouble to the imperial court. Such a treacherous and sycophantic person can be obtained by everyone. And punish him.

Looking at her son's childish little face, Wan Qilan felt sad. Yes, once upon a time, that man stood on the city wall of Dingfeng Pass, pointed at the vast grassland in the northwest, and confidently told her to wait for him. When he grows up, the boy who will replace his father and guard the country for the people of Dashang has already transformed into someone she doesn't recognize.

He became cold-blooded, cruel, and insensitive. Everyone inside and outside the palace knew his evil reputation. Even the threat to ordinary people to stop their children from crying at night became that if they disobeyed, Governor Xiao of Dongchang would send Jin Yiwei to arrest them. They were all dragged to the Torture Department.

Zongzheng Qingqi was a little confused, was there anything wrong with what he said? In the palace school, other emperor's nephews and some companions said the same thing, and even the Taifu also expressed his dissatisfaction in a subtle way.

Therefore, Zongzheng Qingqi was a little puzzled by the melancholy in his mother's eyes.

"You said Governor Xiao is not a good person, but has he ever done anything rebellious or treasonous?" Wan Qilan knew that she had lost her composure. She withdrew her gaze of sadness and turned her gaze to her childish son. She took his hand and sat on the round stool nearby.

"When his father was obsessed with alchemy, eunuchs interfered in politics, which was inconsistent with the ancestral system." Zongzheng Qingqi thought for a while and said loudly.

"That's what your father ordered."

Wan Qilan answered softly.

"But...but..." Zongzheng Qingqi didn't expect his mother-in-law to give him such a reply. It sounded reasonable, but the reality was completely different.

No matter how smart he is, he is still just a young prince who is ten years old. He only studies the Four Books and Five Classics. The Tutor does not dare to teach much about matters above the court, so he can only explore on his own.

But even so, Zongzheng Qingqi also knew that it was wrong for Xiao Chu to do this. As a eunuch, even if his father was stupid and left the affairs of the court in his hands, he would still refuse to remonstrate.

"He captured Mr. Li Yushi. Li Yushi was loyal to Dashang and his father. Xiao Chu should not have falsely accused the other party and sent him to prison just because of his own personal grudges."

Zongzheng Qingqi thought to himself, even if it was his father's order to allow the eunuch Xiao Chu to interfere in the government affairs, it was not his father's order to frame Zhongliang, right?

How could such an unfaithful and unjust person deserve the trust his father had in him?

Of course, although Zongzheng Qingqi didn't say it, she was still resentful of her father. If he hadn't been old and dim, indifferent to right from wrong, favoring a traitor like Xiao Chu, there would be no peace in the court now. There was a mournful voice, and there was a smoky atmosphere.

"It was your father who ordered Li Yushi to be imprisoned."

Wan Qilan's tone was still tepid, even though Zongzheng Qingqi was full of internal anger, he couldn't get angry with such a mother-in-law.

"But that's because of Xiao Chu's slander." Zongzheng Qingqi felt that he was about to be led astray by his mother and concubine, but the little prince who knew his position still adhered to the bottom line and was determined not to be led astray by his mother and concubine.

Otherwise, according to what the mother and concubine said, Xiao Chu was wrong and Xiao Chu was right, and it was all his father's fault.

"Even if Xiao Chu slanders Li Yushi, your father must listen to it before it will be useful."

Wan Qilan squeezed her son's hand and thought to herself that her son had been studying hard these days and his thin fingers no longer felt as fleshy as before. This time when her son returned to the front hall, he would have to bring a few more confidants with him.

But thinking about this matter in my mind, I didn’t stop talking.

"Besides, you said that Governor Xiao slandered Li Yushi, how do you know that what he said was slander?"

Zongzheng Qingqi was stunned by the mother-in-law's rhetorical question: "Isn't Li Yushi a loyal minister?"

Since Li Yushi was a loyal minister, Xiao Chu, who arrested and imprisoned him, was naturally the villain.

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

"Is everyone saying that?" Zongzheng Qingqi said without hesitation.

The Taifu said that, the companion said that, and the other party was able to remonstrate with death when the father was obsessed with alchemy, hoping that the father would stay away from villains, be close to virtuous ministers, and pay attention to the affairs of the government. Isn't this what a loyal minister does? ?

"Similar to what others say, is this what the master in the palace school taught you?"

Wan Qilan sighed and slowly shook his head. Looking at his mother and concubine who looked disappointed, Zongzheng Qingqi was a little flustered. He pulled on his mother and concubine's sleeves, not knowing what he said or did wrong.

"In the 18th year of Chengqing, Li Yushi's second son occupied fertile farmland, causing four deaths and nine injuries among the villagers in Taohua Village..." Wan Qilan whispered about the crimes of Li Yushi's family. If Xiao Chu was present You will definitely be surprised that the crimes mentioned by the other party are almost the same as what he threatened Li Jinzhong in the cell at that time.

"Li Jinzhong, the official who worshiped the censor, not only failed to set an example for the people to make decisions for the people, but instead allowed his descendants to harm his neighbors. He even used the convenience of his position to erase the evidence of his descendants who violated the law. Such Li censor, Is he really the loyal minister that everyone praises?"

Listening to the words of his mother and concubine, Zongzheng Qingqi was stunned. He was immediately immersed in the shock that Mr. Li, whom the Taifu and his companions praised, was actually such a person. Instead, he did not notice that Wan Qilan, as a person in deep Why do women in the palace know so many things outside the palace?

What's more, if Li Jinzhong wants to be a loyal minister and have his legend left in the history books, he will definitely hide the unscrupulous deeds of the Li family. With ordinary methods, he will never find out the deep secrets hidden by the other party. .

Wan Qilan, a woman who used to be quiet in the palace and seemed to rely on the power of the Wanqi clan to protect her own safety in the struggle between Jiang Guifei and De Fei, is it really just as simple as she appears?

"Li Jinzhong was afraid of offending your father, so he only dared to point the finger at Governor Xiao. Wasn't he betting that he would die as a remonstrance? As long as your father didn't want to be a foolish king in the history books, he would never take his life. It seems that He is loyal, but actually he is a hypocrite. Is such a person worthy of you, the emperor, to defend him?"

Wan Qilan let out a long sigh and said earnestly to his son: "If today he dares to point his nose at your father and accuse him of being stupid, then I will respect him. But he does not dare to accuse the culprit, but he blames Xiao who can't help himself. The governor scolded him for no reason, and it can only be said that he is to blame for what happened today. "

"But...but Xiao Chu...Xiao Chu did, as Li Yushi said...interfering in the government affairs as a eunuch? This is contrary to etiquette and law."

Zongzheng Qingqi's mind was confused, and he always felt as if he had been taken into the ditch by his mother and concubine.

"Didn't my mother and concubine say before that Governor Xiao was involved in politics? That was what your father asked for." Wan Qilan touched her son's head, with some worry in her eyes, as if she was worried that her son's head was not in good condition. It seems to be achieved.

"cocoa......"

Zongzheng Qingqi stammered and was speechless.

Xiao Chu's involvement in politics was requested by his father. He framed Zhongliang, but Zhongliang was not loyal at all and was bad. Moreover, his mother and concubine were right. Xiao Chujin slandered him, but someone had to listen to his slander. In the end, The most problematic thing is that his father is not successful?

So what role does Xiao Chu play in it? His father was the one who forced him into politics, and he was slandering because his father liked to hear it. Could it be that he is still an innocent water lotus?

Zongzheng Qingqi felt that there was something wrong in some link, but he couldn't get around the maze that his mother and concubine had woven for him.

He still thinks that Xiao Chu is not a good person, but his position at this moment is at least not as firm as when he first returned to Yanyunxuan.

In order to prevent the prince from getting too close to his mother's family, every prince who is over six years old only spends a short time alone with his biological mother a few times a month. Zongzheng Qingqi stayed at Yanyunxuan for lunch, and then the mother and son Both of them tacitly avoided topics related to government affairs, and when the time came, Wan Qilan had to send the emperor away.

It's just that this time when Zongzheng Qingqi left, there were two more servants around him. One of them was the eldest maid serving beside Wan Qilan, and the other was a professional in her small kitchen in Yanyunxuan. Auntie making snacks.

As the concubine's master, Wan Qilan wanted to arrange a few servants for her son, but this small request was acceptable.

Watching her son's retreating figure, Wan Qilan concealed the faint sadness in her heart. Now that her son hates Xiao Chu so much, her original plan may become more and more difficult to implement.

Well, we can only take one step at a time and hope that the people she arranges around her son can play their role.

"Mother, there's a letter from over there."

The old lady beside Wan Qilan came over holding a slender hairpin. Wan Qilan casually folded the hairpin, and it turned out that the gold hairpin was hollow. As she moved, the paper rolled inside was revealed.

"Haizi handover, see you at Bibo Pavilion."

The late emperor's concubine once lived in Bibo Pavilion, but the concubine later angered the late emperor for unknown reasons. From then on, Bibo Pavilion was sealed. The concubine could not bear the blow of losing favor and hanged herself in Bibo Pavilion. The women in the palace thought Bibo Pavilion was unlucky and would rather live in a palace with other concubines than move to Bibo Pavilion. Over time, it became like a cold palace.

And because there were rumors in the palace that the deceased concubine was still alive, people could often be heard crying in Bibo Pavilion in the middle of the night. Gradually, everyone began to avoid Bibo Pavilion. The maids and eunuchs were not willing to go there to clean for fear of being killed first. The ghost of the imperial concubine haunts her.

Wan Qilan burned the note into black ashes, but she didn't expect that person to contact her. It seemed that she had already figured out what she asked him to investigate before.
