Chapter 352 The Heroine's Cannon Fodder Queen's Counterattack 13
In order to quell the scandal, Emperor Qinghe ordered to be shaved from Rong, converted to Buddhism, and sent him away from the imperial temple to live in the imperial tomb for the rest of his life.
For a young man in his prime, nothing could be more cruel than this punishment. He fell in love with someone he shouldn't love, paid a wrong love, and will pay the price of a long life.
The imperial tomb is not as good as the imperial temple, it is far away from the capital, and there are dead soldiers to guard it, unless Yang Qionghua ascends the throne and becomes the new emperor, it is impossible to meet Congrong again.
When Yang Qionghua and Congrong had a scandal for the first time, the city was full of ups and downs, she was ginseng a lot, and the Second Emperor Women's Party even wrote to her that she was unbearable. But in less than half a year, Yang Qionghua not only did not learn a lesson, but also intensified, this time there were more people who participated in her, and many neutrals also stood on the opposite side of the emperor's eldest daughter.
Among them, there are certainly reasons why Yang Qionghua is inappropriate above men, but the main reason is because she has always insisted on the imperial examination, which touched the interests of most people in the court.
After Yang Qionghua was imprisoned, Emperor Qing He reprimanded and demoted officials who strongly supported the imperial examination system to varying degrees, of course, not because of support for the imperial examination, but because of some trivial mistakes such as violation of regulations and negligence.
But as long as you are not a fool, you can see that the imperial court has a clear attitude against the imperial examination, and the eldest daughter of the emperor is confined, and no one dares to make a rafter and take the lead in provoking the dispute over the talent election system.
If there is no Yang Qiongyu's hands and feet, Gu Xiaoxiao will never believe it, and it will not be a few years since she forced the palace. Gu Xiaoxiao didn't want to be dragged out as a gunman like the original owner. In the end, it didn't get any benefit.
Her fief is in northern Xinjiang, but except for the fixed tax income of the fief every year and a tribute, it has nothing to do with Gu Xiaoxiao. How to settle the domain. Going to the fiefdom to develop a force that completely belongs to him has become Gu Xiaoxiao's number one problem.
Emperor Qinghe was too suspicious, and he was vigilant about his three daughters, and he grabbed all the military power and power in his hands, and did not hand them over to Yang Qionghua until the palace was pressing.
If she wants to succeed smoothly, it is a challenge for Gu Xiaoxiao, first of all, she has to prove her loyalty. Secondly, it is necessary to let Emperor Qinghe relax his vigilance, but with the character of Emperor Qinghe, in order to contain the three princesses. She would not let the Three Princesses go to the fiefdom easily.
Northern Xinjiang is not very peaceful, there are foreign people eyeing each other, and then there are local generals who go their own way, even if they want to integrate several forces in their hands in northern Xinjiang. It's hard to climb. If Gu Xiaoxiao is a little mediocre, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even touch the political core.
When he thought about it behind closed doors, Gu Xiaoxiao had already studied the hydrology and geography of Qingluo Country and had a certain understanding of northern Xinjiang. The climate and environment of northern Xinjiang reminded Gu Xiaoxiao of Tianfeng Kingdom, she thought about it carefully, compared the former Tianfeng and Qingluo Kingdom, and found that there were still some subtle similarities between the two.
There has been an empress in Tianfeng Kingdom, but it has only come to the point of equality between men and women. Qingluo Kingdom took advantage of the right time and place to fight a turnaround battle in one breath. It has directly transformed into an era of female superiority and male inferiority.
Thinking of the experience in Tianfeng Kingdom, the first person that came to Gu Xiaoxiao's mind was the Wing King Bai Li, coincidentally, his territory was in the north, and her territory was in the northern frontier, and the climate and terrain of the two places were very similar.
Memories swept in like snowflakes, overwhelming, all about the two getting along. In addition to sighing, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly found that she had an experience sample to refer to, Bai Li did not embark on the road to seize the throne at the beginning, although he did not ascend the throne in the end, but pushed the sixteenth prince to the throne as the regent.
Because, he didn't know that it was the Wing King Bai Di, but also Song Bei, he chose the road of the regent, just to spend more time with her. Even for them, since embarking on the path of time managers, time has become the most worthless thing.
Gu Xiaoxiao sorted out from her messy memories feasible ways to improve productivity and the policies that could be implemented to benefit the people in this dynasty. After combing, Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth suddenly opened and rekindled her fighting spirit.
In the court, after Yang Qionghua was confined, it almost became Yang Qiongyu's personal special, and some people asked the second princess to be the princess, and Emperor Qinghe was noncommittal, saying that the prince was not in a hurry.
Emperor Qinghe's partiality made Yang Qiongyu's mentality more and more extreme, she secretly sought help, openly and secretly wooed Gu Xiaoxiao, and promised to make her the highest prince of hereditary replacement.
In order to understand the general plan of the second princess and be wary of it, Gu Xiaoxiao's attitude slowly turned from resistance to ambiguity, revealing that between the eldest daughter of the emperor and the second princess, she naturally would not support the enemy.
Yang Qiongyu thought that the three princesses were already on her side, and she was one step closer to the dragon chair, and her style of acting began to tend to be domineering. didn't know that she was also one of the enemies Gu Xiaoxiao said.
After careful planning, Gu Xiaoxiao finally found a way to become a vassal. The biggest role of Emperor Qinghe in keeping her in the capital was to use her to contain Yang Qionghua and Yang Qiongyu, so as to achieve balance.
As long as she finds a way to upset this balance, Emperor Qinghe is bound to change his mind. And breaking this balance is actually very simple, that is, to make Emperor Qinghe realize that Yang Qiongyu's power is not to be underestimated, and then connive at her to grow alone, and one day she will have to give way.
Since Yang Qiongyu lit fires everywhere, Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to lead this fire to her and let her try the taste of self-immolation.
Just when Gu Xiaoxiao was trying to find a way to lay out and let Yang Qionghua show her feet in front of Emperor Qinghe, the emperor's decree suddenly came from the palace, Jiang Fangjun was in poor health, and she was allowed to visit in the palace.
Yang Qiongwan's biological father Jiang Le has always played a background board like a character in the plot, and after Gu Xiaoxiao entered the mission, the number of times the two met in the palace was only a handful. As for the outside of the palace, Jiang Bianjun has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and he has not been in the palace more than three times.
Jiang Fangjun has a soft temperament and is emotionally introverted, and he is a traditional beautiful man. Although Gu Xiaoxiao could feel his strong care and love, there was really no common topic to talk about between the two.
Every time they meet, they mostly talk about food, clothing, housing and transportation from the cold and warm weather, and then talk about whether she is thin or fat, or the other way around.
Yang Qiong's two engagements were full of twists and turns, and finally ended without a problem, after Emperor Qinghe locked Yang Qionghua in confinement. There is no compensation for her, the victim. Jiang Fangjun, as Yang Qiongwan's father, is very concerned about her lifelong events.
Every time Jiang Fangjun mentioned Yang Qiong's late age, as well as her twists and turns in marriage. When she wiped her tears, Gu Xiaoxiao felt that her embarrassment was about to attack.
Hearing that Jiang Fangjun was in poor health, Gu Xiaoxiao looked for good medicinal materials outside the palace, and brought them in after cumbersome procedures when entering the palace, even if there was no shortage of poisonous medicinal materials in the palace, Gu Xiaoxiao still wanted to do his filial piety. For Jiang Fangjun, her daughter's concern itself is a panacea.
Because the harem of the Qing and Emperor was not full. Therefore, although Jiang Fangjun is not favored, he still lives in the main hall of the first palace.
Qingsi Palace was as deserted as ever, and Gu Xiaoxiao was carrying medicine and snacks. Walking along the palace road towards the Liqing Hall where Jiang Fangjun lived, his heart was a little sad.
If the king of a country is single-minded to a lifetime and a couple, and the only pet who withdraws the harem under pressure and domineering, this is a real affection. Like Emperor Qinghe. There is only the imperial father in my heart. But they married the noble monarch and put it in the harem, and they were snubbed like mascots, so how could their lives be good.
Jiang Fangjun wore a purple narrow sleeve shirt, a sea-blue horse-faced skirt embroidered with pomegranate flowers, his long hair was pulled up with a hosta, and he held the bright pillar in his hand to look diligently, and when he saw Gu Xiaoxiao, a smile appeared on his pale face.
"It's windy outside. Father of the monarch quickly enter the temple and take care of his body carefully. ”
Gu Xiaoxiao took two steps. stepped forward to support Jiang Fangjun's arm, only to feel that his body was light and fluttering, and his heart was even more sour.
Jiang Fangjun saw his daughter, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "It's okay, my father just came out, cough, cough cough ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he coughed rapidly, and his pale little face turned red. Gu Xiaoxiao breathed Jiang Fangjun's back while speeding up his steps and carrying him into the house.
"If the monarch wants to see his daughter, he just has to tell his mother, and don't welcome him with illness like this today."
After Jiang Fangjun coughed violently for a while, his spirit was a little lacking, he leaned on the soft couch and leaned on the beauty, rested for a while, and beckoned: "Come to the monarch's father at night, let the monarch see if you have lost weight." ”
Gu Xiaoxiao put the brewed ginseng tea on the coffee table, squatted down, and let Jiang Fangjun rub the top of her head.
Jiang Fangjun helped Gu Xiaoxiao cut her hair, and after examining her face, he said with satisfaction: "My son is much stronger than before, and his eyes are bright. ”
"The monarch is making fun of his daughter again." Gu Xiaoxiao took advantage of the situation to be coquettish, and sure enough, she saw Jiang Fangjun's smile getting brighter and brighter, and most of her sick appearance was gone.
Jiang Fangjun is not sensitive to national affairs, but he knows that Emperor Qinghe is not concerned about himself, and he is not even concerned about his daughter. He was worried about his daughter's marriage in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, but he couldn't meet with the courtiers' families like the imperial husband, and he couldn't find a suitable in-law partner.
Previously, Jiang Fangjun was quite satisfied with the family background chosen by Emperor Qinghe for his daughter, but one of the two was snatched away by the eldest daughter of the emperor on the street, and the other secretly had a relationship with Yang Qionghua. The scandals came out again and again, making Jiang Fangjun pity his daughter and want to find a safe and smooth family affair for her, even if the family is not high.
Recently, after learning that Jiang Yuxiu, the nephew of the maternal Jiang family, had a previously hired wife who died of a sudden illness, Jiang Fangjun moved his mind. His nephews are all good-looking, and if it weren't for the fact that his sister had set a baby for him, he would have asked for his daughter's marriage a long time ago.
Now that the nephew has not entered the door, the wife is gone, and the reputation will definitely be hindered, and the Jiang family is down, and it has become difficult to find the right person. And her daughter is also struggling in marriage, maybe it's good for two people with hard lives to get together.
Jiang Fangjun moved the idea of letting his daughter marry her nephew, and happened to be sick again, so he took the opportunity to announce Yang Qiong in late, intending to probe her tone.
Gu Xiaoxiao obediently followed Jiang Fangjun's question and reported her food, clothing, housing and transportation, but Jiang Fangjun changed her words: "Later, do you still have an impression of Ah Xiu's younger brother, I remember that you made Ah Xiu cry when you were a child?" ”
This turn was too urgent, Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and didn't turn around, and after a while, she remembered that the person Jiang Fangjun said should be her cousin Jiang Yuxiu.
"I have some impressions, but when I grow up, I rarely see Brother Axiu, so I'm afraid I may not be able to recognize him in person."
Gu Xiaoxiao replied honestly, Yang Qiongwan likes the art of war and is obsessed with sticks, and she doesn't have much contact with the Jiang family.
As one of the few members of the harem of Emperor Qinghe, Jiang Le was born in the prestigious Rongguo Mansion, and he was also a famous son back then. It's a pity that the heirs of the old Rongguo son withered, and in addition to Jiang Le, there was only one daughter, Jiang Ya.
After Jiang Ya left a son and a daughter with a weak body, she died before she was forty, and now the Rongguo Mansion, relying on Jiang Yujing, who is about a weak crown, to support the portal, compared to the grand scene of Zhong Ming Ding Food in other public mansions, the Jiang family is difficult to support even the pomp and circumstance of the past.
Speaking of which, Jiang Yujing and Yang Qiongwan are still cousins, but because Yang Qiongwan grew up in the deep palace and her biological father was not favored, she did not have many opportunities to contact Jiang Yujing, and the relationship between the two was not so close.
Although Jiang Le was sad about the decline of the family, without the favor of Emperor Qinghe, he could only watch the Jiang family continue to decline, Jiang Yujing had not officially entered the court, and the official positions of other clansmen were low.
Now that he wants his daughter to marry Jiang Yuxiu, Jiang Fangjun also has the intention of letting her carry the Jiang family.
"Your younger brother Xiu is now very good, if you see it, I'm afraid I won't be willing to make him cry anymore. Later, the monarch's father will not go around the bend, if Xu Yuxiu is your husband, are you willing? ”
"The monarch's father thinks twice, his daughter has no intention of getting married, don't mistake the younger brother of the Jiang family. A good daughter should make meritorious contributions, how can she be entangled by the love of her children. ”
Gu Xiaoxiao's righteous words were righteous, her chest was up, her eyes were firm, Jiang Fangjun belched, and reached out to poke her eyebrows: "Silly girl, start a family first and then start a business, Ah Xiushu is a good reader, not a man who is twisted, it is a blessing for you to marry him." ”
Marrying a man, this is something Gu Xiaoxiao has never thought about, she is afraid that Jiang Fangjun will really go to ask Emperor Qinghe and shake her head like a rattle.
"Father, don't mess with the mandarin duck score, my daughter has enough headaches in marriage, and besides, there is no one in my house, so you can let me clean up for two years."
Jiang Fangjun saw that his daughter was so reluctant to marry Jiang Yuxiu, and he couldn't bear to force her, so he sighed and said, "That's it, children are debts owed by their parents in their previous lives." If you have a caring man outside the palace, first hand over the sign to the monarch's father, and I will find a way to ask your mother for permission. ”
"Thank you, Father, I'll go to Jiang's Mansion another day to sit down and have a small gathering with my cousin, so as not to be alienated between sisters."
In order to make Jiang Bianjun happy and to further develop his power, Gu Xiaoxiao took the initiative to be a guest at the Rongguo Mansion, and Jiang Bianjun's expression eased a lot.
After the topic of family affairs was revealed, the two didn't talk for long, and it was time to leave the palace, Gu Xiaoxiao left under Jiang Fangjun's reluctant gaze, and told him not to leave the palace to see him off. (To be continued......)
