Chapter 31: The Situation

As soon as the first month of the thirty-fourth year of Chenxi's Chinese New Year's Eve passed, in early February, the British Duke Murong Yong was buried in the ancestral tomb of the Murong family, and the son carried the tablet, and the long white ghost-like procession dragged in the air, and the snowflake-like paper money scattered all over the earth, like snow-covered snow, came out of the Hojing mightily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The prince Murong collapsed from filial piety and could not take over as the British Duke for the time being. The second son, Murong Lang and the eldest princess of Deqing, need to be in the Jingguo Mansion for three years to keep filial piety for the Lingtang, and after the condolence is over, the open Guogong Mansion will be closed. For a time, the British government was full of people. The glorious Murong family, so far, has retreated into the background.

At the same time, the Daye Imperial Court, which had been quiet for more than ten years, began a new round of turbulence and treacherous struggle.

The change of government and the decline of the family, and the power attracted countless people to go forward and succeed, using their wealth background to plan for their own benefits in the bloody turmoil.

Partisan struggle between the DPRK and China has gradually risen.

"The biggest Mo is Hanshan Chen family, Wang family, Shen family, Cui family, Xining Hou Cai family," Yan Su stood in the east pavilion of the Hongde Hall and reported his observations to the emperor.

As soon as Murong Yong died, she and Gao Zhen guessed that the partisan struggle would gradually arise, but they didn't want it so fast. By the beginning of February, dozens of parties had gathered between the DPRK and China and began to turn against each other. At the beginning, it wasn't intense, but who knows what will happen later.

The emperor put his hands on his forehead, and he was surprised, "Normal." Factional entanglements have existed since ancient times, and they are endless. ”

"Cai's branch is located in Wanzhou, Anxi, and the branch in Beijing is insufficient, so I look on the wall." Yan Su pursed his lips and continued, "Cui's is ambiguous, but judging from the appeal of his literary flow and the distribution of his descendants, he is not optimistic. ”

It's too light to say, the Cui family, under the leadership of Cui Yunhu, has long been compared with the Shen family, and for many years it has not been revealed, Cui Yunhu is good at forbearance, and he has traced it, but on the surface, the real strength is hidden under the iceberg, waiting for its game, I don't know what the result is.

Gao Zhen leaned back on the carved wooden chair and sighed deeply, "Go on." ”

"Hanshan Chen clan is a wealthy family gate valve that has been inherited for more than 70 years, and it is higher than the Shen family." Yan Su glanced at the emperor's gloomy expression and continued, "This time we repelled Shuo Desert and won the hearts of the people, and its power has reached a higher level. ”

The decree was promulgated by the emperor, and it was not said, but at that time, it was the best choice to activate the Chen family. Presumably, the current result is expected by the emperor. The Chen family enjoys a good reputation in Yinsu, and the Chen family also has a lot of power in Beijing, such as Chen Li, the eldest son of the Chen family, who served as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and the eldest daughter of Chen Wei, the Duke of Wei, married Prince Jing's grandson as a concubine, etc., although small, it is a force that cannot be ignored.

The Chen family and the Su family have always had a vendetta, but Yan Su didn't say this.

Hubu Shangshu Su ****, the emperor later, sent him to supervise the army Chen Jiajun, in charge of a country's finances, as the supervision of the army, the most suitable. However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Su family and the Chen family have had a feud like the Wang family and the Shen family, and everyone in the court knows about it. The emperor's move is understood by smart people.

Now, in the battle of Xihu, victory is in sight. When Wei Guogong Chen estimated, Xining waited for Cai An, and Su **** returned to Beijing to report on his work, the real factional dispute was about to begin, and now, it was an appetizer.

"The factions in the DPRK and China are intertwined, and the families are married, and they can't move." The emperor was deeply moved by this. When he was young and vigorous, he also made such a decision, and in the end, it ended in failure. Therefore, when you move, you must be as fast as lightning, and there must not be a trace of slackness.

Su's eldest daughter married King Xuan as his wife, Su's younger brother Su Zetong is still the eldest princess of Pingyan, and the royal marriage is the closest, no matter how filthy Su is, during this time, the emperor will also reuse them to contend with the Chen family, this chess piece has long been buried, and now, it is still available.

Yan Su naturally understood, and she said lightly, "Su Clan, there is already the style of the Wang Clan. ”

Don't talk much, point to point. Yan Su won't touch the emperor's mold, it's not that stupid. A kind reminder is right for the emperor's appetite. Just like the marriage between the Wang family and the royal family in the past, it is also the closest.

"Well," Gao Zhen asked, as if casually, as he asked, "Has your grandfather communicated to you lately?" ”

"Yes, I hope the Son of Heaven will help him." Yan Su said lightly.

But she sneered in her heart, no wonder Wen Qian wantonly sold coarse salt in the Jiangnan area, she thought that her grandfather had great connections in the court, and it was the emperor himself. Wen Qian wanted to get the emperor's approval through her, and in recent months, there have been many correspondence. Yan Su had no private collection, and all of them were presented to the emperor. She wanted to see what her grandfather used to impress this emperor who was gentle on the outside but cold on the inside.

Gao Zhen lazily raised his eyes, glanced at the ridicule in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You reply to the letter, explaining the party dispute between the DPRK and China, see how you react?" ”

"Yes."

In the East Pavilion, there was no sound for a long time.

……

Since the British public, the people of Yuankun Palace have been in panic for a long time, and the atmosphere is low, like a gray dark cloud. Zhang Hou hid behind the Jiufeng tent, her mood was gloomy, and she didn't step out of the door of the greenhouse. The harem concubines' requests for peace are all exempt if they can be exempted. Even trivial chores were pushed to Aunt Rong Wu, and she was solely responsible. The emperor didn't care, and let Empress Zhang go.

Today, Yuankun Palace swept away the decadence of the past, opened the four doors of the palace, and invited the harem concubines to celebrate the princess's pregnancy.

"Speaking of which, is the crown princess happy for the second time?"

Under the shade of the willows, Wandong supported the plump Concubine Zhuang, walked and walked towards the Yuankun Palace.

I don't know what Empress Zhang thinks, Concubine Shen Guifei, Concubine Wang Xian, Concubine Ning, and even the invisible concubine Luo Huifei also invited together, and let the prince's concubines come with them.

Prince Shun Gao Jing did not marry, but only married. Concubine Zhuang didn't have the heart to bring her future daughter-in-law.

"She wants to show off." Concubine Zhuang snorted.

The crown princess has a son and a daughter, Princess Xuan has no children, not to mention Princess Jia, King Jia has been away for many years, and he can't touch her. But Princess Ruijun has a daughter. So, Zhang Hou got the letter, was happy, and wanted to tell the world.

When I walked to the front of Yuankun Palace, I happened to meet Shen Guifei and her daughter-in-law Princess Jiang Shi, and opposite stood Concubine Wang Xian and Princess Xuan Su. The two sides held each other, and a dispute arose.

Concubine Zhuang stood aside and looked at this scene with a smile, "Oh, people haven't entered the hall yet, the show has already been staged, it's really laughing to death." "Shen Guifei is indifferent and quiet, and her daughter-in-law is also a gentle and virtuous woman, when she meets the Su family, Concubine Wang Xian's arrogance and pungency don't know how to respond at all, and her cold appearance only adds to the joke. Concubine Zhuang laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, leaning on half of Wandong's body, "I'm laughing to death." ”

The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and when Aunt Rongwu came out to reconcile, after a while, they entered the Yuankun Palace.

"Tsk, this Princess Xuan is in the boudoir, she is a spicy child, I saw it today, and it was so." Concubine Zhuang tasted and commented. She put on a show and was the last one to go in slowly.

Empress Zhang held a banquet in Dechang Garden, and when Concubine Zhuang entered the banquet, all the people invited arrived.

The queen sitting on the main throne had a good face and a good mood, and when she turned her eyes to the crown princess next to her, she was full of love and care.

"See the Queen." Concubine Zhuang bowed.

"Get up." Zhang Hou said lightly.

The arrival of the second grandson, although it suppressed her pain, could not completely eliminate her bitterness. When she suddenly heard that Murong Yongxu had died, no one knew that she was hiding under the Jiufeng Luan tent, crying bitterly, like a child.

The man who wiped away her tears with tenderness, and would cook wine and discuss poetry with her, is finally gone.

His heart was sore, Zhang Houkai removed the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and pretended to cry with joy. She raised her favorite glow-in-the-dark cup and said with a light smile, "The princess is happy to be pregnant again, and the palace is very happy. Zhang tilted his head back and drank it all.

The crown princess Yang stood up and said softly, "The concubine replaces wine with water, thank you to the queen mother." Her lips dipped her teacup, and then she raised her glass to the princes and princesses at the banquet, "May my brothers and sisters also continue to have children for the prince." ”

Before the words fell, Concubine Wang Xian snorted coldly, she sat up straight, and said without yin or yang, "The crown princess has a good heir, I don't know if you are the only one who gave birth to an heir!" The voice is beautiful, the tail is trembling, and the lingering crimson color is inexplicable.

During the banquet, he whispered to Concubine Wang Xian's words. In the harem, Concubine Wang Xian spoke the most presumptuously, and every sentence could poke the heart the most.
