Chapter Seventy-Three: The Queen Mother's Purpose
Empress Dowager Cui probably talked a little too much at once, and was a little thirsty, so she took a sip of tea from the tea bowl and moistened her throat, and then glanced at Aunt Liang on the side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Aunt Liang understood, took out a fold book from her arms, and held it with both hands and placed it on the table between Jiang Yu and Empress Dowager Cui.
Jiang Yu has always adhered to the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, and he didn't talk much, but at this time, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at the Empress Dowager Cui.
Empress Dowager Cui gestured to the fold on the table with her eyes and said, "Open it and take a look." ”
Jiang Yu pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before he boldly picked up the fold and looked at it.
There is nothing peculiar about that excerpt, but it is an excerpt from the lord's family to invite the son of the world, and the only thing that has something to do with Jiang Yu is that this excerpt is from Meng Yuyu and Meng Xuanyu's father, Zhao Guogong Meng Wei'an.
Zhao Guogong wanted to ask his concubine Meng Wei to be the prince.
And the excerpt Yu Wenhong has already approved, and the cinnabar royal pen has approved the sentence "Accurate, the Ministry of Rites will do it quickly".
Jiang Yu is not surprised by this fold, Zhao Guogong currently has only one son, this Meng Gongzi's biological mother has been favored in front of Zhao Guogong for nearly 20 years, Zhao Guogong does not ask for a title, who does he ask for.
Yu Wenhong approved Zhao Guogong's request to seal the excerpt and did not surprise Jiang Yu, for no reason, Jiang Yu always felt that Yu Wenhong always had his own purpose behind doing things.
But to Jiang Yu's surprise, Empress Dowager Cui's hand was stretched out so long, and Yu Wenhong had already approved the fold, and Empress Dowager Cui said that if she cut it off privately, she would cut it off privately.
This can only show that Yuwenhong has not completely mastered the entire court, at least the power of the Cui family and the Empress Dowager Cui has posed a great threat to Yuwenhong.
Empress Dowager Cui said: "Concubine, think about it yourself, your mother and Zhao Guogong are not in harmony with his wife, and he did not give birth to a son, you and your mother have suppressed Concubine Shu and Aunt Xia in Zhao Guogong's Mansion for nearly 20 years, and Concubine Shu of the Meng family lives more like a concubine than you, a serious concubine." The emperor approved this excerpt and allowed the Duke of Zhao to make Meng Xiao the prince, where are you? Does your mother still have a good life in the Meng family? Has the emperor ever thought about you?"
Jiang Yu hung his head and bit his lip, frowned and did not speak, making a depressed appearance because of this matter.
Empress Dowager Cui glanced at her and was very satisfied with her current expression, indicating that the words she said had entered her heart.
It's good to be in the heart, and if you are in the heart, it means that you have already complained.
Empress Dowager Cui continued: "Although Meng Wei is the only son of Zhao Guogong, it stands to reason that the concubine cannot inherit the title, and if the lord of another family has given birth to a concubine who wants the concubine to inherit the lord, even if he does superficial work, he must first record the concubine of the lord in the name of the main room and have the name of the concubine, and then he can do the matter of asking for the title." But your father saved this step and directly asked Meng Xiao to be sealed, but the emperor was able to approve this excerpt regardless of etiquette. Concubine, the emperor spoils you on the face, but the emperor really keeps the benefits of the child and the lord, but the emperor gives it to the concubine. ”
Jiang Yu's voice trembled slightly: "The concubine doesn't know what the queen mother means by saying these words to the concubine, do you pity the concubine?"
Empress Dowager Cui smiled slightly, made a kind appearance, and said: "But don't worry, the emperor is messing around, but the mourning family can't watch and let the emperor mess around like this." Zhao Guogong wants to bypass your mother and directly ask the concubine to be the prince, so the court must not condone the matter of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife. ”
Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, so that Zhao Guogong's request for Feng Shizi could not be done.
I don't know that Empress Dowager Cui said these words because she wanted her to pay something in exchange.
Jiang Yu bit his lip, raised his eyes and asked, "What does the Queen Mother want her concubines to do?"
Empress Dowager Cui didn't get straight to the point, but asked: "The concubine has been in charge of palace affairs these days, but she still feels hard. ”
Jiang Yu said: "Entrusted by the emperor, the heavy responsibility lies, I don't dare to be sloppy, let alone talk about hard work." ”
Empress Dowager Cui said: "After the concubine took over the palace affairs, she impressed the mourning family, cut the silver purchased by the harem with a big cut, and replaced a number of troublesome stewards, so that these stewards ran to the mourning family one by one to cry, which made the mourning family annoying. ”
Jiang Yucai didn't help Yu Wenhong carry this pot, and said busily: "The concubines are all in accordance with the emperor's will, if there is any offense against the queen mother, please forgive the queen mother." ”
Empress Dowager Cui knew this, and she guessed that this was the case.
Meng Yuyu, a person who has never learned housekeeping, how could he know these doorways as soon as he came up. Even if you knew, how dare you do it. It must have been a puppet pushed out by the emperor.
Empress Dowager Cui said: "Since those hands and feet are not clean, if they fall, they will also fall." However, the concubine is young, and after all, she still needs someone to help her in palace affairs, and there are some experienced and trustworthy minions here in the mourning family. ”
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized red booklet and put it in front of Jiang Yu, and continued: "The concubine will make good use of these people, so as not to let the capable people be idle, and the incompetent people will sit in positions that should not be there." ”
Speaking of which, this is the ultimate goal, I want her to help her continue to install her people in the harem.
Jiang Yu looked embarrassed, and said: "The concubine is nothing, she uses anyone, and the person recommended by the queen mother must be good, but the emperor is there...... The concubines were afraid that the emperor would not agree. ”
Empress Dowager Cui said: "The concubine goes back and thinks about it, I think it's better to listen to the emperor's words or listen to the words of the mourning family, you take this list back, and then come to the mourning family after thinking about it." ”
After another pause, his voice became a little colder: "But the mourning family also reminded the concubine that the mourning family has always disliked being rejected." ”
After speaking, he narrowed his eyes, showed a tired look, and said, "The mourning family is tired, please take care of yourself, concubine." Then he instructed Aunt Liang: "Good work, send off guests." ”
Jiang Yu didn't speak, put away the booklet on the table, then stood up and curtsied to Empress Dowager Cui, and said, "The concubine retires." ”
Aunt Liang walked over, still maintaining that respectful smile, and made a "please" gesture to Jiang Yu, and said, "Guifei Niangniang, the slave will send you back." ”
Jiang Yu smiled at her and nodded, and then slowly walked out.
She was a little anxious in her heart, but she was still able to keep her steps unhurried. It wasn't until she left the gate of Jing'an Palace that she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yu scolded Yu Wenhong a hundred times in her heart, she obviously asked him to come over to save his life, but she couldn't even see a figure.
Gu Yu was not allowed to enter Jing'an Palace just now, and he had been waiting outside Jing'an Palace at this time, and he seemed a little anxious, and when he saw Jiang Yu coming out safely, he hurriedly greeted him. Raising his eyes and glancing at Jiang Yu, he breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that she was safe, then bent his knees and stood beside Jiang Yu without saying anything.
When she came to pick her up, Gong Yuan had already been carried away, and when she came out, I don't know if it was specially arranged by Aunt Liang, but Gong Yuan hadn't come yet.
Aunt Liang accompanied her to wait outside, looked up at her with a light smile, and said with a smile: "The slave maid looked at the concubine Niangniang, but remembered a past, I don't know if the concubine Niangniang wants to hear it." ”
