Chapter 522: Plotting

Old Concubine Xue spoke sharply, and said that Princess Guojun was embarrassed and left in shame.

When reprimanding Princess Guojun, there were no maids in the house to serve, so Mother Xin and Princess Guojun's two personal maids stayed outside.

When the old lady Xue was excited, her voice was a little loud, and she could still hear it faintly outside, and then looked at the look of Princess Guojun when she came out, although she didn't know what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said, but she could guess some approximately.

After Xin's mother entered the house, she saw that there was still anger on Old Concubine Xue's face, so she poured a cup of soothing tea for Old Concubine Xue, and said softly: "Old lady, drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger, this princess of the county has been a little impatient for Miss Lewen's affairs recently, and it is normal for this mother to worry about her daughter." ”

Old Concubine Xue picked up the teacup, and then put it down again, now there is no taste in drinking anything.

Seeing this, Mother Xin couldn't help but worry: "Why is the old lady so worried?"

Miss Lewen's in-laws have been in trouble recently in this house, and they haven't seen any major incidents, and this Miss Lewen is not very close to Old Concubine Xue, so she won't make Old Concubine Xue so worried.

Old Concubine Xue sighed and said, "Mother Xin, I can talk to you in this mansion, it's not for the confusion of Princess Guojun, it's just that there have been too many things recently, and each one by one seems to be a trivial matter, but it always makes people feel that something is wrong." ”

"Isn't it all like this in Yancheng, there are many powerful people, one after another, when has it been calm?" Mother Xin really didn't think there was anything strange, as far as the Guojun Mansion was concerned. At the beginning, the old county king was even more confused, and the trouble was so bad, and the old lady Xue was not calm and relative, and she did not lose her sense of proportion.

"Maybe. "Old Concubine Xue actually doesn't know what's wrong with herself, how many winds and waves have come when she is young, the court is sophistry, and when the heir is at its most intense, the blood on the streets of Yancheng can flow into a river, and she doesn't feel how terrible it is, but now I don't know why. I just can't be quiet in my heart.

Probably the person is old. When I was young, I lost too many things, and when I was old, I thought that I was too tired in this life, and it was easy to survive until my old age and watch the dust settle. She can have a good end in this life. It's a lifetime of wealth.

But the situation now. Let her smell the danger, the last time the prince of this county palace made a mistake, it was actually a good thing for her. On the contrary, if you fall first, people will be alert, and it will be easier to get through, not the benefits of not being relatives.

Don't worry about what will happen to them after she dies, even if it is a false prosperity, as long as she can hold on to the moment when her legs are stretched, but at the moment, it seems that this county palace is about to stand on the cusp again.

King Guojun is just to welcome the Dajing Mission, and it is really abnormal that he can encounter such a dangerous thing.

She didn't believe what Princess Guojun said at all, King Guojun came back to ask for help and ask for a doctor, maybe King Guojun didn't tell Princess Guojun the truth at all, there must be something else going on.

Just ask for help and ask for a doctor, you can send a guard back, King Guojun is a special envoy to welcome, when the envoy is in crisis, he must not leave his post without permission, otherwise in the past few days of leaving, something happened, and he, the envoy who greeted him, would definitely not be able to get out of it.

Now that he has returned, he shows that there is a reason why he has to come back, and that reason must be very serious and very important.

And the more serious the matter, the more dangerous it will naturally increase, and the entire Guojun Royal Mansion will be implicated.

At this time, Princess Guojun was still so confused, saying that she was worried about what would happen to King Guojun, and asked her to find a way to see if she could find someone to intercede and avoid King Guojun's errand.

Can this errand be waived now? If it is really to be spared, this Guojun Wangfu will also come to an end, and maybe the life of the whole family will not be guaranteed.

If there is anything that cannot be publicized to the outside world, the king of Guojun must come back to report it in person, indicating that the seriousness of the matter is not trivial, and the king of Guojun knows this secret, and if he does not get it right, he is very likely to be the target of extermination.

In contrast, what is the point of the Meng family's son's romantic debts, and the groundless wind in the streets and alleys? It's just a fireworks woman, even if it was really killed by the princess of Guojun, it wasn't necessarily something that could break the sky.

But this matter of King Guojun is really very terrible.

These things can't be said, and for a loyal servant like Xin's mother, she can also say a little worried, as for what is specifically worried about, the stakes are so important that she can't reveal half a word, and the more you know, the faster she will die.

Knowing a little bit of something wrong, spreading it, others thought that she had peeked into something inside, and it was unfortunate to cause an unwarranted disaster.

However, Princess Guojun is a person who is unclear at a critical moment, and she is shocked, her daughter's birth has already made her so panicked, and if she knows what is the big disaster in Guojun Palace, she must be even more uncontrollable.

Old Concubine Xue finally instructed Mother Xin: "You let people keep an eye on the princess of the county, she has been a little panicked recently, don't let her do anything stupid and get into trouble." ”

Big things naturally have to be worried, and small things can't be guarded against, the death of the moon in the water is not simple at first glance, maybe someone behind it is manipulating behind the scenes.

I am in the light, the enemy is in the dark, the more times like this, the more I can't act rashly, I have to stabilize my mind, don't let the enemy take advantage of it, so as not to respond to everything, as long as they don't make mistakes themselves, how can any conspiracy and tricks endure them?

The fireworks woman was indeed not killed by Princess Guojun, and Princess Guojun is not a person who can use this method, a little rumor, no need to panic.

Of course, Old Concubine Xue also knew that thinking like this was based on her lack of affection for Lewen, and caring about it would be chaotic, if Lewen was her blood-related relative, she might not be able to be so calm.

It is indeed the best way to respond to Wan without changing, but this method has somewhat sacrificed Lewen's happiness, if the case of the moon in the water is settled and becomes a foregone conclusion, the mystery will always be a mystery, then Lewen will reluctantly marry, he will definitely be hated by the son of the Meng family, how can he still have a good life?

Her Guojun Mansion is now weak, and she has no real power in the court. It also supported the scenery, so the drudgery of going to the border to meet the mission fell on the head of King Guojun.

What people want to calculate is definitely not the Guojun Palace, it will only be the Meng family, since it is not the Guojun Palace, there is no need to worry too much.

But if the princess of Guojun insists on making trouble regardless of the importance of the matter, and really tosses out any inside information by mistake, the Guojun palace will be deeply involved.

This is another mistake by Princess Guojun, or a mistake by hers. It shouldn't have been too close to Dingwangfu in the first place. This Dingwang Mansion is in the center of power, the center of the storm whirlpool, and it will be swept into it if you are not careful.

At that time, she just wanted to get married according to her previous style of doing things. It wasn't anything. But the princess of Guojun was confused. actually wanted to calculate others, but was calculated back by someone and let the saint give him marriage. became in-laws with the Meng family, the maiden family of Dingwangfu, and also became the object of calculation.

It's really a mistake, she has no children and no daughters, at this age, it's just a moment of relaxation, and something like this happened, seeing that the situation is getting more and more weird, how can she still calm down?

I only hope that this time can also be spent safely, she has been fasting all year round, if she can spend it safely this time, she must be more pious, morning and evening to the Bodhisattva incense, a degree of application is as simple as possible, and the money and things saved are used to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

……

In the palace, in the imperial study, the emperor listened to King Guojun's account in shock, couldn't believe it, and said, "What you said is true?"

King Guojun said: "This is what the envoy of the Great Zhou Mission, Yongxiang Marquis, said, and the minister doesn't know whether it's true or not, he said that the matter is very important, and there are no letters and other tokens, so they can only be dictated." ”

The emperor pinched his eyebrows, and for a moment of annoyance, this matter was too sudden, too bizarre, and empty words, he really couldn't believe it.

If it's fake, anyway, Da Zhou and Da Jing are in the same fire, and the battle has been fought for many years, so it doesn't matter if there is a new feud.

But if it's true, this is an opportunity, a big opportunity, to break the current stalemate.

It's just that the stakes are high, if Da Zhou wants to get such an opportunity, he also has to pay a price, take risks, how to decide, the emperor can't think about it for a while.

King Guojun has thought a lot along the way, knowing that the emperor must be difficult to decide, and he, a courtier, can't say much, this kind of thing will naturally be meritorious in the future because the emperor is decisive, and if he makes a mistake, he is instigated by being a courtier.

"What do you think?" the emperor really couldn't make up his mind, but still asked the opinion of King Guojun.

King Guojun said cautiously: "This minister feels that his empty words are unsubstantiated and unbelievable, should he investigate them again?"

After saying this, the emperor was a little irritable, and said: "But the matter is urgent, and the envoys have been delayed a lot of time on the road, and if they miss a good opportunity, they will miss the opportunity." ”

The Holy One said yes, so the minister hurried back to report to the Holy One. King Guojun lowered his head, and he didn't have any opinion of his own.

It's really a useless thing, and the emperor is even more upset when he sees King Guojun like this.

At this time, if King Dingwang is here, he will definitely be able to give good advice, not like King Guojun, who is cowardly and incompetent, and can't come up with any ideas.

After a pause, the emperor thought for a while and said, "In this case, you should bring more people first, hurry back quickly, and be sure to bring everyone back to Yancheng safely...... The others just returned it, and after rushing back, I immediately asked that Yongxiang Marquis to rush to Yancheng quickly, and I wanted to hear what he had to say. ”

"Yes!" replied King Guojun respectfully.

"Go!" the Emperor waved his hand.

King Guojun was just about to retreat, but the emperor hurriedly said, "Come back." ”

King Guojun hurriedly turned back.

The emperor said, "You didn't tell anyone about this, did you?"

"No, it's a big deal, and the minister didn't mention it to anyone. King Guojun hurriedly replied.

The emperor looked at the court clothes on King Guojun's body and said nothing.

King Guojun said secretly, oh no, when he came back, he first went back to his house and changed his clothes, because the emperor never liked the courtiers' untidy appearance, and there was a minister earlier, because he was in a hurry when he went to the early court, and a large piece of yellow mud was stuck on his shoes, which was particularly eye-catching on the red carpet.

Originally, it was not a big deal, at most it was two reprimands, and when it met a generous monarch, it was at most a joke. But the emperor was in a bad mood that day.

This untidy minister was arrested for a reason, and he was demoted three levels to retain, many people have struggled all their lives, and it is difficult to go further in their official positions, so this adult stepped on a little yellow mud and was demoted three levels in a row, which is really wronged.

From then on, the ministers did not dare to make any mistakes, no matter when, the appearance should be neat, adhere to the good at home, close to the palace gate, and the ministers who are familiar with each other must look at each other to make sure that there will be no mistakes, and then enter the palace.

He has been dusty all the way, and there is more than a piece of yellow mud on his feet, so he naturally has to tidy up before entering the palace.

But now, the stakes are high, and this caution has become an omission on his part.

It stands to reason that this kind of urgent matter, he should enter the palace non-stop, and report to the saint without a moment's delay, this is really indescribable, with the emperor's suspicious character, he will definitely not be like he is too harsh on the minister on weekdays, so that the minister is extremely cautious, but thinks, after he comes back, where have he been, who he has seen, and whether he has anything to say that should not be said.

Thinking like this, a white sweat broke out behind the back of King Guojun, and he hurriedly explained: "The minister rushed back all the way, it was a little dirty, and his clothes were not neat, so he could only go back to the house first and change into court clothes before coming to face the saint." ”

"It's okay, let's go down. The emperor stared at King Guojun gloomily, and said lightly.

King Guojun couldn't explain more, lest he couldn't explain more and more, so he could only retreat first.

The emperor pondered for a while, and instructed the eunuchs to hurry up for eight hundred miles, and ordered the king to enter the palace as soon as possible, and to discuss important matters, but not to be too public, and to keep a low profile.

The eunuch took the order and left.

The emperor was a little relieved, in his heart, this young man he was more than ten years old King Ding has always been very strategic, when he was able to successfully ascend the throne, King Ding made a lot of contributions, from both strategy and financial resources, all of them are full of help, several dangers on the road to the succession all rely on King Ding's ideas at critical moments, which made him turn defeat into victory.

After ascending the throne, he was very grateful to this cousin, and also gave him supreme glory, so that he changed from an idle prince who could only be sent as a proton to the enemy country as a hostage to a seriously ill minister, but after sitting on the throne, he felt that this cousin had some merits.

The power in the hands of King Ding is a little big, coupled with the strategy and the means, he can't help but feel jealous, but King Ding has not made a mistake, and he still needs King Ding's help to deter some brothers and uncles who disobey him.

In addition, it is not good to cross the river and tear down the bridge too much for future generations to comment, let alone force the tiger to jump over the wall, so that the loyal ministers are cold, so they can only gradually weaken the power of King Ding little by little, and finally find an opportunity for him to inspect the border passes......
