Chapter 442: Considerations of the County King's Concubine and the County King's Side Concubine
"County Lord Kangzhao?!" Shu Zhaoyi was also surprised when she heard this, "Isn't that his sister?"
"That's why I said this kid isn't a good guy either. Concubine Shu snorted, "With his face and his talent to get the top prize, what kind of young lady can't marry......? Now that the Sheng family and the Gaomi Mansion don't agree, he actually came to me to beg!
Shu Zhaoyi frowned for a while, a smile suddenly appeared in her eyes, and said, "Sister, if this is his true intention, it will be a good thing for us!"
The concubine was surprised: "A good thing?"
"That's good!" Shu Zhaoyi said in a low voice, "Because my sister has been recuperating from her injuries during this time, so there are some messy things outside, so I will ask the people below not to come to you to disturb me." You probably don't know that just a few months ago, when Mi Zhen, Yichun and Kang Zhao went south, the Zhao family and the Gaomi Mansion almost fell out!"
Concubine Shu was surprised: "The Zhao family almost fell out with the Gaomi Palace? Could it be because that Rong Qing, who had been fostered in the Zhao Mansion for several years, was drunk?"
"This time it has nothing to do with Rong Qing's drunkenness, but it's Mizhen. Shu Zhaoyi took a sip of ginseng tea, and said slowly, "If you want to talk about this matter, to be fair, it's really not right to be secret: although it is said that the decision to kiss and kiss is made by Princess Gaomi and Old Madam Qin without him, but he openly declares that he doesn't like Miss Zhao...... This is too much to dismiss the Zhao family's face!"
"That Miss Zhao San has a good appearance and is good at learning, but she lost to the county lord Kangzhao who came from afar. If it was just a private contest between the girl's family, it would be fine, but at that time, Miss Zhao San once went to live in the Gaomi Palace, and everyone knew it inside and out, so it was Princess Gaomi who took the initiative to take her niece over the mansion! In the end, Mi Zhen didn't give this cousin a step like this, how can you say that the Zhao family could swallow this breath?"
"Miss Zhao San's biological mother died early, and the sisters-in-law are afraid of being talked about and don't feel sorry for the sister-in-law, aren't they going to Gaomi Mansion to ask for an explanation?!"
Shu Zhaoyi said, "When I heard about this at the time, I felt that Mi Zhen simply didn't have a long brain! Not to mention who is better between Miss Zhao San and the county lord of Kangzhao, I pointed out that Miss Zhao San is the daughter of General Huaihua...... He was willing to do it?!"
"A few months have passed, he came back to Chang'an alone, and brought a group of pirates who were recruited, and I also said that he was going south under the banner of the Sheng family in order to deceive the Meng family!"
"But now it seems that he really has a deep affection for the county lord of Kangzhao!"
Zhaoyi smiled meaningfully and said, "Sister, don't you think that such a secret chastity is very good?"
He gave up the political marriage that was very beneficial to him, and insisted on marrying the so-called county lord from a remote lower county...... Such a high-spirited choice proves that even if Rong Sleeping Crane wants to be talented, he must be good-looking, but the overall situation is not very good.
This is of course painful for those who sincerely assist him in achieving great causes, such as Gongsun Xi.
But for the Shu sisters......
Concubine Shu smiled knowingly: "It's really the kind of Mingjun embryo who is clear about everything...... I'm not sure he's a grateful person, but we can't rest assured!"
"If it's really the kind of Mingjun embryo who is clear about everything, even if it's confirmed, you can't rest assured!" Shu Zhaoyi covered her mouth and smiled and reminded her sister, "After all, such a scheming city can't be measured by his age, who knows if our judgment of him is true, or if he wants us to think it is true?"
The concubine felt that it made sense, and said in a deep voice: "Then Mizhen said that she wanted to marry Kang Zhao......"
"Help him!" Shu Zhaoyi said categorically, "This can not only prevent him from plumping up too quickly and weakening his dependence on us, but also meet his requirements and make him grateful to us!"
Zhaoyi didn't know the true process of Rong Sleeping Crane's proposal to go south, nor did she know the true thoughts of the Gaomi royal couple about this family matter, "After all, my sister also knows that people of his age are either not emotional, and once they are emotional, they often can't pull it back!" Now that the Sheng family and the Gaomi Royal Mansion are both opposed, let's stand up at this time, even if he is usually thoughtful, he can't help but feel that we are the ones who are really on his side!"
The voice was low, "Sister, please think about the time when we joined His Majesty, just because His Majesty did not go to court for several days, the old thing surnamed Huan connected a group of people to impeach, just to let His Majesty execute our table of books, it was piled up three feet high in one day!
Concubine Shu felt that it made sense, nodded, and sighed: "Speaking of which, the Meng family is too domineering! At that time, it was seen that we were favored and wanted to take refuge, both the government and the opposition! For example, the Feng family, the foreign family of the county lord of Kangzhao. If it weren't for the fact that the Meng clan was afraid that after the rise of our mother's family, it would be unfavorable to them, and they had spared no effort to attack the people who were close to us and our family over the years, even if you and I had no children under our knees, we would not be so constrained that we would not even think about having a successor, but we have not succeeded until today, not to mention, it is easy to take a fancy to the personal choice, and we have to consider this and that...... Alas!"
When it comes to this issue, Shu Zhaoyi's expression is also gloomy, in the final analysis, their sisters have to repeatedly consider the selection of heirs, mainly because the Shu family's current court status and power do not match their sisters' favor in front of Emperor Xuanjing!
Without the power of the court, without the power of the army, the only bargaining chip for the sisters is the favor of Emperor Xuanjing.
Once Emperor Xuanjing dies, their fate will be in the hands of the new monarch, so if you want to pick an heir, how can you not be cautious?
If their maiden family was like the Meng family, which developed after they were favored, what else would their sisters do with such care?
Anyway, if the heir is disobedient after coming to power, it will be a big deal to scrap it and pick another one.
There are so many children in the clan, there is always one who is interested.
But they have nothing but the emperor's favor, not to mention that it is not so easy to hold an heir who can really ascend the throne after the death of Emperor Xuanjing.
"The mediocrity of father and brother is also a matter of fate. Zhaoyi sighed secretly, shook her spirits, and said to Concubine Shu: "Fortunately, Mizhen herself is a good talent, although she is a little disregarding the overall situation, but this is easy to control." ”
"It's young, and it's been exiled for many years. The concubine thought carefully and frowned, "This foundation is too shallow! Even if you and I are proud in front of Your Majesty, but sister, you also know that once Your Majesty ...... Even if he is crowned the crown prince now, it may not change in the future!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the northern frontier.
Shu Zhaoyi groaned, "This is indeed a trouble...... But he was the son of King Gaomi after all. King Gaomi is almost fifty years old this year, even if he doesn't like this son, he won't be able to take the throne of his son, right?"
Since ancient times, there have been many cases of killing his father and usurping the throne, but there has never been a matter of the Emperor Taishang killing his son and seizing the throne.
After all, everything about being a father will be passed on to his son sooner or later.
"It's hard to say!" the concubine calmly reminded Zhaoyi, "What did you say to me when Dao Mizhen came here today? He said that he helped King Gaomi and the prince beat the Meng family in the court, but after King Gaomi went back, he scolded him and said that he would hand him over to the Meng family for disposal! This person was so angry that he came to me to complain and ask for help!"
"There is such a thing?!" Shu Zhaoyi frowned, "This Gaomi King...... I really can't see such a person!"
"You see he's known to Deping all these years. The concubine didn't think so, "Although she is a concubine, she is born to him, or is it from Concubine Mo, whom he loved very much in the past! However, when did King Gaomi take pity on him? Oh, and Rong Qingdrunk, who has also been fostered in the Zhao Mansion, has not been taken back to the palace until this time, and the palace has no intention of asking about the marriage. ”
"It can be seen that this couple is decided, but it doesn't mean that the love of flesh and blood can make them open up the net!"
Zhaoyi was embarrassed: "If that's the case...... Then we have to act quickly, and we must take advantage of the fact that His Majesty is still there, and let Mi Zhen have a few capable divisions in his hands!"
Shu Guifei said: "I also know this, but the most elite Northern Xinjiang Army of the National Dynasty, King Gaomi and the Meng Clan have been robbed to death and alive all these years! No matter how capable Mizhen is, what can he do at his age? Once he goes to the frontier, it will be good not to be harmed!"
"Isn't there still the Western Frontier Army?" Zhaoyi said, "and the Sailor Division...... As long as they can keep the area of Chang'an, plus the title of the crown prince, King Gaomi and the Meng clan dare to let the Northern Xinjiang Army have a change, and they can be righteous and call on the world to fight together!"
Concubine Shu frowned: "What you said is easy! But in that case, the whole world may be ruined......
What the concubine really cares about is not the misery of the world, but, "What if there is another crazy person who loses his heart and says that everything is caused by the favor of our sisters, and forces Mi Zhen to kill us to calm the anger of the world?!"
She sneered, "Isn't it enough that we have carried infamy over the years, so how can we take such a risk again?!"
“…… But Mi Zhen is too young!" Shu Zhaoyi pondered for a while and said, "Otherwise, sister, you don't think this will be possible: isn't he already the king of the county? Let the county lord of Kangzhao make him a side concubine, and let him marry Miss Zhao San as a concubine! In this way, General Huaihua can also borrow the power there." ”
The concubine thought for a while, but shook her head: "No, Kang Zhao still has to be a concubine!"
Seeing that Shu Zhaoyi opened her mouth as if she wanted to refute, she raised her hand and motioned for her sister to listen to her and continue, "Kang Zhao's family background is not as good as Miss Zhao San, and the scheming city government is not as powerful as Miss Zhao San." The only thing that beats Miss Zhao San is that Mizhen likes her. If she becomes a side concubine and is nominally subject to Miss Zhao San, what kind of storm do you think she can turn over? The grace of a man, let's not say whether it is reliable or unreliable, let's just say one, Mizhen will try to get a big position in the future, where will she have time to be with Kang Zhao all day long? When the time comes, Miss Zhao San will play a little bit with the backyard selfishness, not to mention let Kang Zhao die, she doesn't know how to die, so that Kang Zhao will not be able to give birth to an heir in this life, and it will be enough for her to bear it!"
The concubine sneered and said, "Of course, whether Kang Zhao will live well in the future has nothing to do with us! But sister, do you think that if Kang Zhao is the main concubine and Miss Zhao San is the side concubine, Kang Zhao also gave birth to Mizhen's eldest son! You say, will she not guard against Miss Zhao San's murder of their mother and son? And Miss Zhao San and the Zhao family behind her will be willing to let Kang Zhao pick peaches?!"
"In this way, the two sides are bound to be incompatible!"
The two sisters looked at each other and smiled understandingly, "In this way, there will be room for us to interfere, and it will be more conducive to our control of Mizhen!"
"But ......," Zhaoyi muttered, "Miss Zhao San has always been a little arrogant, and the Huaihua general who is far away in the north is also a distressed daughter. If Kang Zhao becomes Mizhen's concubine, I'm afraid that the Zhao family won't let Miss Zhao San be a side concubine, right? And Mizhen is now obsessed with Kang Zhao, so she may not be willing to marry Miss Zhao San as a side concubine?"
The concubine didn't care and said: "The Zhao family is a scholarly family, and they are not the kind of people who have no rules." Before, why did the Meng family let Miss Meng Shiyi be a side concubine for King Guangling, and we were not allowed to draw a scoop according to the gourd?"
…… On this day, the Shu sisters discussed until late at night.
The next day, news spread all over Chang'an, saying that King Mizhen was very unpopular with King Gaomi, so much so that he went to the palace to complain to Concubine Shu.
After the news spread, of course, the Gaomi Palace's Mansion immediately "refuted the rumors" and did not admit a word, saying that the King of Gaomi loved his youngest son after a fifteen-year absence, and he absolutely did not say anything wrong. And the reason why Rong Sleeping Crane went to the palace to find Concubine Shu was mainly to visit Concubine Shu's injury, and it had nothing to do with complaining or complaining!
When King Gaomi instructed his subordinates to go out and talk like this, he slammed the desk in the study and scolded the prince Rong Qingyu: "Have you seen it?! This is what you said about a good brother! He also persuaded Lao Tzu to appoint him instead of you!! and now let your mother and concubine not look for it, and actually go into the palace to find Na Shu! What is his idea, thinking that others are blind and can't see it?!"
Rong Qingchu was speechless when he was scolded, and he also complained a little about Rong Sleeping Crane in his heart: "It's all a family, noisy and scolding, and after making a move on my father, I followed to find outsiders to help, and it was so noisy...... Where is this bloodline relatives?!"
