The second more

Liu Rong was stunned, how could she forget this. The eldest granddaughter of the Su family is not the queen of Jingyou, the woman who has been infinitely deified by Jingyou and will never forget her life. And for Liu Rong, it was her lifelong enemy. The most hated, most hated enemy!

The Empress Dowager saw Liu Rong's sudden change of color, but silently took her into her arms and gave Jingyou a roll of her eyes. Although there are some things, needless to say, I know it, and it is right to ask this at this time, some things are like this, I know that it will happen, but the Queen Mother will be a little unbearable.

Liu Rong quickly knew that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly turned around and smiled at the Empress Dowager, "I almost forgot, the fourth sister said that she wanted to see Rong'er make snacks today, and she will be waiting for Rong'er." ”

"Go ahead!" The Empress Dowager glanced at her approvingly, and sure enough, her education on weekdays was really not in vain, she knew her position, and then quickly adapted, and she was really a teachable talent.

Waiting for Liu Rong to go out, the Empress Dowager looked at her grandson, she was silent for a moment, yes, she couldn't even say that he was wrong. He keenly felt his intentions, so this kid was also very good.

"Some words, look at the occasion." The Empress Dowager took a sip of water and said lightly.

"She'll always know." Xiao Jingyou said stubbornly, it would be better if there was no slightly beating corner of his mouth.

The Empress Dowager chuckled, yes, she would always know. It is impossible for Liu Rong to be the queen, and even, the empress dowager will not allow Jingyou to favor only one person, which is an impossible story for the emperor. It's just that now I know, isn't it too cruel.

If she knew at the beginning of her entry into the palace, what would she face in the future, would she still enter the palace? No, at that time, of course she knew what was in the palace, but at that time, she thought wholeheartedly that she was the end of everything, and the emperor's true love was only her, but ......

Yes, maybe now let poor Liu Rong know that what she is about to face is not just a little girl from the Su family, maybe it is just her first difficulty. In the future, what she will have to face, in addition to these opponents from famous families, what is even more painful is that she has to adapt, for Jingyou, Liu Rong not only can't be the only one, maybe not even the favorite.

"Among the four ministers, except for the Ouyang family, there are no daughters of appropriate age, the other three families have them, the Su family must be chosen, there is more than one daughter of the E family, and the Yi family ......" The Empress Dowager decided to change the topic, and she felt very painful about this. Turning his head, he began to weigh up the four auxiliary ministers. For her, perhaps, to say this, it is easier.

The last of the four ministers was Yi Gang, and he was also the youngest among them. She asked Mama Shu to bring a pen and paper, and drew silently by herself.

If it was usual, Jingyou would take a serious look, after all, the Empress Dowager has an incomparable understanding of the situation of everyone in the court. At this time, his mind was not here, although he just stubbornly thought it was right. But as soon as he said it, he regretted it. Why did he have to say in front of Liu Rong that the Su family had a granddaughter.

At this time, his heart was also a little chaotic, and he looked back at the door from time to time, feeling a little like a year.

The Empress Dowager drew the lineage chart, and as soon as she looked up, she saw her grandson's unrelenting appearance, and shook her head gently, she thought that she would let him go to Liu Rong, but in the end, the true character of a political strongman still prevailed.

"Yi Gang's eldest son just married the daughter of the Ouyang family; The Su family, under the instruction of your father, married their daughter to Prince Le as their stepfamily; And the E family is very interesting, their family has nothing to do with the other four ministers, but their children and daughters can be all over the government and the opposition, including a concubine who married into your grandfather's family. Do you see? The old lady pushed the in-law relationship between the important ministers of the court and the central government in front of Jingyou.

"So what the imperial grandmother means is that the Su family is a clan, and the E family is slippery, and the Ouyang and Yi families, who are ranked third and fourth, actually have a deep foundation, so they will form an alliance at this time?" Jingyou retracted his uneasy thoughts and turned to business.

The Empress Dowager nodded and chuckled, "Do you think the imperial grandmother is wrong now?" If you want to seek the support of the Su family, shouldn't you treat Princess Le so much? ”

"No, the imperial grandmother must have her own plans for doing this. It's just that the grandson is stupid and hasn't thought of it yet. Jingyou put down the piece of paper and stood with his head down. He is telling the truth, although the old lady is ambitious and strong, but in her heart, the imperial power cannot be left behind, and they have the same interests, so this will, what she does must be reasonable.

"The Yi family and the Ouyang family are married, how long can this relationship last?" The Empress Dowager didn't explain, and looked down at the Yi family and the Ouyang family. Obviously, in the eyes of the old lady, these two families are the big troubles.

"These two started with military exploits, but the Yi family is obviously closer to Qingliu, Yi Gang has been the chief examiner for several terms, and there are many protégés; And Ouyang is known as the first warrior, he is a fierce man, and his prestige in the army is very high, is this what the imperial grandmother is worried about? ”

"No, what the mourning family is worried about is that these two people have no foundation, so they have no scruples." The Empress Dowager stroked slightly.

Jing You took a look at it intentionally, the Empress Dowager's fingertips were scratched, referring to the marriage status of the four ministers themselves, look at Su Jiugong, born in a family, he began to marry with the clan in the last generation, but he also married the daughter of the clan. Although he is not a close branch, he is obviously very purposeful. Marrying Hua Ji's daughter to the prince who is more than half of the year old is the closest contact between their family and the clan, but from this, it also shows his ambition.

And Elong, obviously, is a loach, and he is also the queen of the family, but the objects of his marriage are varied, and each family has them, so it is the same as the big net, in fact, he can't offend any family. But I have to say that after several generations of operation, the strength of the Ejia family may be the most deep-rooted of the four.

So at this time, the old lady made him pay attention to Ouyang and the Yi family, although they were not a commoner family in the previous generation, they were far from the Su family and the E family.

Both of them were upstarts who were mentioned in the era of Emperor Wen. can be mentioned as auxiliary ministers, in fact, the two of them represent emerging forces. It was prepared to compete with the old elites represented by the Su and Hubei people.

It's just that what the old queen mother thinks is that although the old magnates are annoying, they are too big to move, and they will affect the whole body, so they are good at it, but these emerging nobles, for the sake of greater interests, so they frantically seize it, and in the end, they are afraid of destroying the court and a good balance.
