Chapter 219: Testing the Waters (Part II)
When taking a small sedan chair to the foot of the imperial city, it was already a little late, the time of the palace gate was approaching, the guards guarding the real gate of Shun held their heads and looked out, and saw that there was a small sedan chair not far away, so they happily opened the city gate again, and they were close to the Lin Gonggong who walked in front.
"The queen sent someone to ask our brothers to leave a door for the county lord of Wenyang, and it is a favor within the etiquette law."
The celebrities around the emperor and the princess in the future should be pleased.
Gonggong Lin stuffed a small sachet alone, "It's cold at night, you and the adults buy a pot of wine to warm up!" Your lover," Gonggong Lin pouted at Xingzhao's sedan chair, "I can't forget it!" ”
Xingzhao has been listening with his ears, the guards guarding the gate of the true gate are all from the Jiucheng Battalion Guard, the imperial city military horse has always been the emperor's last hole card and talisman, and it is the largest military force in Dingjing City.
When the imperial power was strong, the Jiucheng Camp Guards were surnamed Zhou, and now the imperial power was divided by the courtiers, whether the Jiucheng Camp Guards was surnamed Chen, or Fang, or what the surname, Xingzhao really couldn't say. But since the guards guarding the door still dared to obey the orders of Fengyi Hall to leave her the door, then she could be sure that this Nine Cities Camp Guard would never be completely named with the surname Chen.
Xingzhao pondered in the sedan chair for a long time, first asked Qi Wan to see if Queen Fang was asleep, and when she heard that Queen Fang was still waiting for her, she packed up and entered the main hall of Fengyi Palace, took a small stool and sat next to Queen Fang, and said everything from welcoming relatives to recognizing relatives, and said it all over and over again, and Xingming's words were left to the end.
The Chen family was restless, and Chen Wan heard the conversation, and Aunt Wan died. The Chen family spread the news that I had forced my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to death. We can't hear or see in the deep palace. But the third sister heard it and saw it. Even a corner of the Wang family heard this. I'm afraid that the news in Dingjing City has already been spread. ”
"It's not enough to be boiling, those official eunuchs and eunuchs don't have the courage to weigh the weight of the Fang family."
Empress Fang handed a whole cup of feta cheese to Xingzhao, and instructed lightly, "Don't frown, I didn't put sugar, I didn't put honey." You have to take care of yourself in your mother's family before you can marry into your husband's family and work hard. You have to drink it all. ”
Empress Fang didn't take this matter seriously, and Xingzhao was very relaxed from the beginning.
Mrs. He is planning and then acting, the Chen family's methods have always been gradual, step by step, with her head high and bent down, this time it is nothing more than testing the waters, using her least valued reputation to test the Fang family's reaction.
She was curious, what kind of role did Chen Wan play in it?
Is it also a dog-headed military advisor?
Xingzhao took the cheese, still steaming, and waited for a long time. There was a thin layer of milk on the cheese, and the gas was very heavy. Xingzhao took a deep breath, slurred halfway through his drink, raised his head and gasped, and then held his breath and continued to drink.
It's not like you're going to war!
The little lady did something strange, and Queen Fang became in a good mood.
"Leave this alone, and keep it up to all changes. I remember that in the northwest, people would try to see if the ice was not strong, so they would throw a stone on the ice near the shore, and if it was strong, it would be a stupid way to keep going, but it often worked. Empress Fang said with a smile and was clueless.
Xingzhao swallowed the last mouthful of goat's milk with difficulty, and then said: "But in major events, it is often a foot in the country, Chen Xian is used to being careful and careful, and he cautiously takes a step to test his feet, but instead shocks the snake and exposes his intentions."
Queen Fang leaned on the warm couch, and her smile deepened.
Such a stupid girl, it's cheap to be the sixth kid, and when you think about it, you feel that the world is impermanent.
Empress Fang Rao said that she would respond to all changes with the same, but the next day she summoned Gu Jieyu to Fengyi Palace, and said bluntly, "The emperor doesn't need to go to the court again in the past two months, there are a lot of rumors in the court, and the emperor's body is getting weaker and weaker, so it's time to take care of it." ”
As long as the emperor is not allowed to hear it, as long as the marriage decree is still valid, how can others pass it on, what will I do?
Gu Jieyu has seven tricks and exquisite heart, she understands it as soon as she hears it, and even claims to be.
She had no other way to go than to say yes and give and take.
Some people say that moths to fire are stupid, but in her opinion, this is not the case, some people are born to be the star of all people, but some people are born just a moth, a small worm, a small existence that can be pinched to death with a little strength by other people's fingers.
She wants to be gorgeous, she wants glory, she wants to be rich, even at the cost of her life.
If she and Queen Fang switch positions, she will also choose the means of hiding the bird's bow, although it is a little ruthless, but it is the most shrewd choice.
Gu Jieyu lifted her skirt and said goodbye to Queen Fang very respectfully, and approached the porch, but she heard Queen Fang speak softly.
"This palace can even save the life of the concubine who gave birth to the seventh prince, Gu Jieyu is a smart person, think about it carefully, in fact, you should understand that your situation is not as bad as you think."
Gu Jieyu raised her head suddenly, unbelievable - after the matter is completed, when she finishes the show, will Queen Fang let her live?
forced his father's concubine to death, and then bullied his sister-in-law, so that his sister-in-law lingered on the sickbed, and in all fairness, it was not a big deal to put it in the big dye vat of Dingjing. But if the protagonist of this matter has always been raised by Queen Fang's side, he has always been known for his gentleness and gentleness, and the county lord of Wenyang, who was born in a famous family, would be a little appalling.
First it was passed on by the women, and then it became a little bit known to the men.
What is the saying?
When people are looking up at you, they can't help but have no desire to look down on you.
When the world stands on what it thinks is the so-called moral front, it rightly blames the person who stands on the opposite side.
Thousands of people pointed out, and everyone frowned.
The city was full of ups and downs, and the He family and He Xingzhao once again stood on the cusp after Fang Fu's death.
Only three families did not respond, the He family, the Fang family, and the Chen family.
The He family did not react, but instead sat down to confirm the accusation against Xingzhao, while the Fang family did not react, but some people were disappointed, and it was the Chen family who was disappointed.
"It's not strong enough."
The moon and half of the Chen family's old house were quiet for a long time, and it was Chen Xian's words that broke the silence, followed by a long sentence, "Fang Qi is extremely protective, the matter involves relatives, and it is easy to calm down." The reputation of the county lord of Wenyang was damaged, but the Fang family did not make a sound, and even the movement of my cronies under the command of Commander Shi was later installed, the Fang family did not react, and the abnormality is a demon. In the latter case, the Fang family suppressed their emotions, as I expected, but in the previous incident, the county lord of Wenyang was raised by the queen, which is equivalent to the Fang family's raising, her reputation was damaged, but the Fang family did not give a little explanation, it was too strange"
Commander Shi is the new leader of the Nine Cities Battalion Guard.
The most fearful thing about the game is that after you throw a punch, the opponent will suffer quietly, neither lying down nor hitting back.
"The Fang family didn't panic because they still have hole cards."
Chen Xian is a middle-aged scholar's elegant voice, but this sentence is from the mouth of a gentle little lady.
Chen Xianyi raised his eyebrows, moved his eyes to the face of his second daughter Chen Wan, and paused for a moment with the hand that played with the wrench, "Of course, the Fang family still has hole cards, Jiang Yanshi is far away in the northwest, and the Fang family army is also far away in the northwest, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, if there is a change in the capital, the northwest army can't catch up at all, so how can we talk about assistance." ”
"So whether the military power in the northwest is in your hands or not, you don't care at all. As long as the financial power is not in the hands of the Fang family, as long as there is a change in the northwest, Dingjing City will be able to receive the news, and as long as the northwest army is safe and defends itself, you will be satisfied. Chen Wan smiled brightly, her expression was very calm.
And what he saw on that day was judged to be two people.
Not all smart people want the whole world to know that they are smart.
On that day, her domineering and arrogant Tai was half acted, well, no, it can be regarded as true, she really hates and dislikes He Xingzhao, and really feels that He Xingzhao is not worthy of being compared with her, and even the play where King Duan asks to marry her, she is used as a chess piece and a stepping stone to fulfill them, she feels extremely disgusting - so in many tricks to test the waters, she chose this method of pointing the spearhead at He Xingzhao as soon as she came.
"If the Fang family doesn't move, we can't see clearly what their hole cards are"
Chen Wan turned her train of thought and clasped her hand on the table one by one, "The siege of the city must fight for brick by brick, the Fang family now wants to hide the clumsy and let the virtuous, since the battle between the two families has been put on the table, why don't we take advantage of the situation?" Follow their intentions, encroach on the territory little by little, and then watch from the wall to see how far they want to encroach before the Fang family moves. ”
The world's cheapness is not to take advantage of nothing, the Fang family wants to let go out of the city and pretend to be generous, why doesn't the Chen family take advantage of the trend?
To see how far the balance has been broken, the Fang family reacted.
Chen Xian smiled in his eyes, twisted his beard lightly, and nodded lightly, which can be regarded as agreement.
The eldest son Chen Fangzhi is incompetent and shallow, the eldest daughter Chen Yuan is mediocre and has no longevity, only the second daughter, and her heart, wit and wrist are like the Chen family.
"The Fang family's hole cards will be forced out after all." Chen Wan leaned back and laughed softly, "I have always disliked the enemy." The enemy is clear and we are secret, and we can't do it at the moment. Let's just put the hole cards up and bet to see who can have the last laugh. ”
Chen Wan wanted to see the Fang family's hole cards.
If Xingzhao was here at the time, she would definitely smile and make it clear to Chen Wan: "You want to know what the Fang family's hole cards are?" ”
"The Fang family's hole card is you, Chen Wan." (To be continued......)
