Chapter 467: Advance and Retreat

The ministers all knew that Zhou Heng did not want to accept a concubine. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Zhou Quan instigated the imperial historians to make a big fuss about Zuo Shunmen, and more than 200 officials joined before and after, but in this way, he still failed to force Zhou Heng to take a concubine.

The emperor's every move affects the hearts of the ministers, and it is even more tied to the world, every strand is a matter of interests, related to personal future, family inheritance, and future generations, how can the ministers sit and watch Cui Keyin monopolize Zhou Heng and watch the Cui family dominate? It is necessary to find a way to get a piece of the pie. The Wujiang incident only made the civil officials feel that this matter was imminent and that they had to do it. They no longer use impeachment, but go straight to the actual operation.

Zhao received Cui Keyin's announcement that she would enter the palace, and she was busy making up and entering the palace by car.

She waited outside the palace gate for almost an hour, and saw that at noon, Cui Keyin had not announced her to enter, but there were many carriages coming and going outside the palace gate. Under the attention of the foreign women who entered and left the palace, the Zhao family was full of smiles and was in a really good mood. Her daughter is in the palace, although she is only a beauty when she enters the palace, but the queen mother promised that no matter whether Du Guoer is pregnant or not, she will be promoted to one of the four concubines next year, as long as she gives birth to a child, regardless of whether she is male or female, she will be promoted to a concubine.

It is not so easy to abolish the queen, to become a concubine, and with the queen mother behind her, Du Guoer's future can be described as bright. As long as Du Guoer gives birth to a son, the Queen Mother will use some means to kill Lele and set up Du Guoer's child as the prince. In this way, Cui Keyin has no support, and she is not favored, and it will be difficult to live in the deep palace.

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, as long as Du Guoer continues to blow the wind on the pillow, Du Shilang will set up a bureau again, and it is difficult to ensure that Cui Zhenyi will not be able to catch the road. As long as he loses his sacred heart, it is not a matter of minutes to dismiss him from office? When the time comes, you can kill the isolated Cui Keyin.

As for Tang Tianzheng, he is just a relative of the Cui family, and he is separated from Cui Keyin by another layer, so it is still easy to buy it. How can a man be free from weakness and selfishness?

Cui Keyin deliberately hung the Zhao family and was busy with the New Year's Festival first.

Morning pilgrimage today. Zhou Heng has rewarded the meritorious personnel of the imperial driver's personal expedition, and she must also have corresponding rewards for the families of these ministers, and she also has to meet with the foreign women who entered the palace to thank her, and praise her with kind words. Again. She was away from Beijing for more than half a year, and there were only rough palace people left behind in Anhua Palace, and there were no confidants. It also needs to be carefully checked by Zilan. The Queen Mother has been operating in the palace for many years. Now sober, how many palace people are her people, these people are lurking in the dark, what will they do to Cui Keyin and Lele? It is also necessary to examine carefully and take precautions.

In short, when the Zhao family waited until the sun was setting in the west and the palace gate was about to be locked, a chamberlain walked out of the palace gate and said, "Mrs. Zhao, the queen mother announced that you have entered the palace." ”

In Zhao's opinion. The more Cui Keyin snubbed her, the more jealous she was of Du Guoer. The more likely Du Guo'er is to be favored, the more likely the Du family will win, so she smiled brightly and responded: "Okay, thank you." He went in with the chamberlain.

Along the way, she kept asking the east and west, when does the queen usually get up and when does she rest, and the emperor usually rests in Anhua Palace many times. Or how many times I have rested in the temple of the body, and so on.

It's just that no matter what she asks, the chamberlain looks at the nose and the nose looks at the heart. I don't think I heard it. She couldn't help but feel bored, thinking that the Queen Mother said that Cui Keyin was a wooden person, and the people who used it were the same as her.

When she came to Anhua Palace, after the palace people reported, Cui Keyin quickly let her in.

Zhao has seen the world in the end, no matter how disdainful he is. On the surface, he still saluted in a proper manner, and said: "The concubine is the queen's mother." ”

Cui Keyin didn't scream, her bright eyes stared at her coldly, and her tone didn't have a trace of warmth, and said, "Congratulations to Mrs. Zhao, this is about to become a relative of the emperor." ”

A smile bloomed on Zhao's face, like a blooming chrysanthemum, and said: "The queen mother and the emperor are gracious, the queen mother is merciful, and the little girl is fortunate to accompany the emperor before driving." ”

Cui Keyin said: "The emperor has no grace to the Du family, no matter how merciful the palace is, it must follow the emperor's will." But the Queen Mother was delirious and confused, and she harmed a good girl. ”

"The mother laughed." Zhao straightened his waist slightly, raised his face, and was almost level with Cui Keyin, with a victor's smile on his face, and said: "The Queen Mother has recovered, her old man cares about the emperor, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to announce that the family members of the third rank or above in the court took the girls who had not left the cabinet into the palace, and observed the behavior and appearance of the girls with their own eyes. The little girl was fortunate enough to enter the eyes of the Queen Mother, announced that she was summoned to the palace, and was about to be canonized. ”

Cui Keyin smiled sarcastically and said, "So, this matter has been decided?" ”

"Exactly." Zhao said: "It is the honor of the Du family for the little girl to accompany the emperor. The concubine repeatedly told her to be filial to her mother and serve her mother. ”

Cui Keyin originally wanted her to take Du Guo'er home, don't follow this troubled water, listen to her, but she actually set aside her, the queen of the middle palace, and decided the emperor's concubine. Well, if you are not afraid of death, then come. Cui Keyin changed her mind suddenly, looked around, and said with a smile: "I really lack a capable person to serve here." Lu Ying, you go and invite Miss Du here, clean up a clean courtyard, and let her stay. ”

Lu Ying understood what Cui Keyin meant, and said with a smile: "The slave maid will go now." In front of the Zhao family, he instructed the people in the small palace: "Why don't you go and clean up the small courtyard where the sundries are placed." Another fourteen or fifteen-year-old palace man was called: "Go and ask Miss Du to pack up and move over." ”

Live at Anhua Palace! Zhao's face changed suddenly, his voice was dry, and he said, "Niangniang, the Queen Mother has promised the position of a little female beauty." ”

No matter how low the beauty is, it is also a position, so she moved to Anhua Palace inexplicably, did she want to be a palace person? Her youngest daughter, who was the tip of her heart, was raised with her support since she was a child, how could she serve others?

"Really?" Cui Keyin smiled mildly and said: "The palace went to Xiyuan in the morning to ask the queen mother for peace, and the queen mother did not mention this matter to the palace, which shows that her old man is really confused." ”

Zhao's mouth is full of bitterness, is it really as Cui Keyin said, the Queen Mother is really old and confused? And what about her daughter?

Cui Keyin said: "Don't worry, as you said, this palace has always been merciful and will treat Ling Ai well." ”

I'm just talking about it, I'm flattering you, are you still serious? Zhao almost vomited blood, and said, "The little girl is used to living in Xiyuan, so let her live in Xiyuan, right?" After the queen mother asked the queen mother, it is not too late to canonize it. ”

"How's that going to work? After the Queen Mother fell ill, her memory was not good, and she did things upside down, if she forgot all about such an important thing, wouldn't it be a bad thing? Ling Ai is an innocent girl's family, how can she live in the palace without knowing whether she is in vain, and how will she marry in the future? Cui Keyin categorically refused, and said in a tone that was completely for Du Guoer's sake. (To be continued.) )
