"How much do you know about the affairs of Yanbei Palace?" Looking at the sky outside the window, Ren Yaoqi asked Dongshengdao.

In her previous life, she didn't know much about the affairs of Yanbei Wangfu, and she didn't deliberately inquire about it in this life, and the only people she knew about it were those who everyone knew.

However, Dongsheng was cultivated as Li Tianyou's personal servant, and his master was Zheng Guoliang, the powerful follower of his maternal grandfather, who was also the housekeeper of the Li family.

She always felt that Steward Zheng's voice was a little peculiar before, but later she realized that Steward Zheng should be from the palace and a eunuch.

Li Tianyou's little servant doesn't need to know that Lu Dao has too many social interactions, but he must know how Lu Dao helps his master to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Therefore, Dongsheng should know the situation of the various families in Yunyang City very well.

"The late old Yanbei Wang Concubine is the second daughter of the first emperor, who was born by Zhang Guifei of that year, and was given the title of Princess Changde by the first emperor at the age of fifteen to marry into the Yanbei Palace. However, the old king of Yanbei had married Yun Yao, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, before he was given marriage, and at that time, Xiao Qishan, the fourth king of Yanbei, the grandfather of the king of Yanbei, was still alive and asked for a decree to present his case to the emperor. ”

"After thinking about it again and again, in order to block the mouth of Youyou and appease Xiao Qishan, he allowed the Yanbei Royal Mansion to let Xiao Yan marry Yun Yao, the daughter of the Yun family, as the side room at the same time as the princess entered the door, and promised that after Xiao Yan inherited the throne of the king of Yanbei, if Yun Yao had a son, he would give her the position of side concubine, so that Xiao Yan's main concubine, Princess Changde, and the side concubine Yun entered the door one day apart."

"It's just that Princess Changde has only given birth to a daughter, Xiao Wei, since she entered Xiao's house, and there has been no movement, and Mrs. Yun gave birth to Xiao Yan, the eldest son of the old Yanbei King. After that, the princess accepted a noble concubine from the side branch of the Su family for the old Yanbei king, Xiao Heng, the second son of the old prince, was born by this Su Guifei, Su Guifei was not in good health, Xiao Heng died soon after she was born, and Xiao Heng was raised under the knee of Princess Changde since childhood. ”

Dongsheng really knows the twists and turns of these families very clearly, and he talks about them carefully, such as a few family treasures.

"Xiao Qishan, the fourth king of Yanbei, lived to be in his sixties, so the old king of Yanbei was thirty-five years old when he succeeded to the throne. At that time, in order to establish the prince, there was a stir in the Yanbei Palace. ”

"The Duke of Changde wants to set up his own concubine Xiao Heng. And the old Yanbei King is more fond of his eldest son Xiao Yan. I heard that Princess Changde once hid from the old King Yanbei and wrote a secret to Beijing to ask the emperor to make decisions for her. ”

"At that time, when the first prince died of illness, the first emperor fell ill, and King Kang and King Rong were competing for the crown prince at their best, the letter that the princess quietly sent to the capital was like a stone sinking into the sea. The old king of Yanbei personally entered Beijing to ask for the title of his eldest son on the grounds that Xiao Qishan left a will, and King Kang and King Rong, who were in charge of the country, fought for victory and defeat, and no one wanted to offend the Yanbei palace at that time. Therefore, Xiao Yan naturally became the prince. After another two years, the first emperor suddenly recovered from his illness, King Kang and King Rong were sentenced for disobedience, and soon after the old King Yanbei also died violently, Xiao Yan succeeded to the throne as the King of Yanbei. and asked Xiao Jingkang, the eldest son of the concubine, to be the son. ”

"Because of the 'rebellion between the two kings' between King Kang and King Rong, the first emperor did not have the energy to take care of Yanbei's affairs at the beginning after he recovered from his illness, so Xiao Yan's succession to the throne and his eldest son's request for the title were very smooth. It's just that the emperor asked the prince of Yanbei to enter the capital to study, which was essentially as a proton. Therefore, the prince of Yanbei grew up in Beijing since he was a child, and was ordered by the emperor to marry Zhao Ying'e, the daughter of Princess Chang'an, when he was a child. I heard that this prince has excellent articles and excellent drawing, but the riding and shooting are deserted. ”

Ren Yaoqi has been listening silently, some of these things Dongsheng said she knows, and some she doesn't know.

She could think of the depth of the water in Yanbei Wangfu, but now listening to Dongsheng say it in detail, it is still a little shocking.

"The concubine of Xiao Yan, the current king of Yanbei, is the niece of his biological mother, Mrs. Yuntai. Yun Chuxue, the eldest daughter of Yun Sheng, the current head of the Yun family, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, namely Xiao Jingkang, the son of the family in Beijing. The second son, Xiao Jingxi, and the county lord Xiao Jinglin. Xiao Heng, the younger brother of King Yanbei, married his wife Su and gave birth to the third son, Xiao Jingyue, and the second sister, Xiao Jingyuan. There are also a few concubines and concubines. Princess Changde's only daughter, Xiao Wei, married Wu Xiaohe, the current Ningxia commander-in-chief, and had a daughter. ”

Ren Yaoqi's heart moved: "What is the relationship between Xiao Yan, the king of Yanbei, and his younger brother Xiao Heng?" ”

Dongsheng thought for a while and said truthfully: "Outsiders look at it as a brother and a brother, but it's ...... If you look at the relationship between their respective foreign families, the Yun family and the Su family, you can understand that things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. The Yun family and the Su family have shook hands and made peace since Xiao Qishan became the king of Yanbei, and they are as close as a family, but in fact, the two families are still in constant disputes behind their backs. The Su family has several large horse farms in the northwest, and all the horses of the Yanbei Army cavalry are supplied from the horse farms in the northwest of the Su family. In the past two years, the two families are competing for several large salt farms near Gyeongju, which has caused Yanbei Wang a headache. ”

Northwest Racecourse ...... Ningxia General Soldier ...... The Dangxiang clan who competed with the Great Zhou for the horse farm...... The contradictions between the Yun family and the Xiao family, the old princess and the king of Yanbei......

Ren Yaoqi felt that there was a faint line connecting the words that she knew in her previous life with what Dong Sheng had just said, which made her eyes light up with a dawn......

As soon as the order of the previous imperial court to reduce the Yanbei army came, there was a dispute between the Dangxiang clan and the horse farm in the northwest, and then the Yanbei army was divided, and part of it was subsumed into the Ningxia general Wu Xiao and his subordinates to help him fight against the Dangxiang clan.

She originally thought that this was King Yanbei's best strategy in order to preserve his strength.

But now it seems that Wu Xiaohe is the son-in-law of the old princess Princess Changde, can he really have the same heart with King Yanbei? Did King Yanbei really willingly distribute his army to his brother-in-law? I'm afraid it's not necessarily, right? It's more like the lesser of two evils.

Although later due to the intervention of Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the king of Yanbei, most of those Yanbei troops were incorporated back, and their vitality was not injured, but there were still losses after all.

And Zeng Tong's ability to quickly secure the position of the Ningxia General Army was also related to the fact that he successfully rebelled against a group of middle and lower-level generals of the Yanbei Army who had originally held a wait-and-see attitude before Xiao Jingxi incorporated back into the Yanbei Army. Those few people became the capital of his promotion after the most reluctance.

Therefore, if you can find a way to prevent the army of Yanbei Wangfu from entering Ningxia, you will also cut off a shortcut to Zeng Tong's ascension.

It is undeniable that Ren Yaochi hates the Zeng family, Zeng Tong and Zeng Kui.

Although those things have not happened in this life, she still has an uncontrollable hatred when she thinks of the people of the Zeng family, which is a hatred that is deep in her bones and integrated into her flesh and bones.

At this time, a few more people walked in from outside the courtyard, it was Xia Sheng and Parsley. Mulberry and the others led Ren Yaohua's maid in.

The turnips were very embarrassed, and two of the maids were still full of tears on their faces, and they were still sobbing when they entered the yard, which showed that they had suffered before.

When they saw Ren Yaohua standing under the eaves, they all rushed over, and they complained aggrievedly. The small yard immediately became noisy.

Still the turnips couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded them.

Ren Yaoqi only heard Ren Yaohua's cold voice ringing in the courtyard: "I will give you an explanation!" ”

Li Tianyou, who was originally watching the excitement on the side, rolled his eyes and took Xia Sheng into the house with his hands behind his back.

Ren Yaoqi's quiet voice sounded word by word in the room: "There is a way, but you need to take risks." Maybe everyone has to take a risk, are you willing to do it? ”

Dongsheng was stunned. With some hesitation, he asked, "Who is Miss Biao referring to?" Master, are they going to take risks too? ”

Ren Yaochi looked at Dong Sheng and was not shocked: "Do you think that now my uncle is not implicated?" Instead of waiting for disaster to come, it is better to fight back. ”

The situation of Li Qian's family in Yanbei was already very embarrassing.

Li Gan's biological mother, Concubine Wan, was the favorite concubine of the former emperor, and the daughter of a commoner brought back from outside the palace in the early years of the former emperor. After only six months in the palace, she gave birth to Li Gan.

Therefore, although the first emperor recognized the identity of Li Gan as a prince, after the death of the first emperor, Li Gan's birth became a stain on him.

There are rumors in Beijing that Concubine Wan was actually a singer before entering the palace, and she had already been secretly married to people. Later, although I was fortunate to be the first emperor, in fact, I was not pregnant with the first emperor's species. It's just that Concubine Wan Guifei has the means to make the emperor recognize this cheap son and be named the king.

The Emperor is dead. This rumor could not be confirmed, but when the new emperor was proposed, most of the courtiers still chose to support the son of Concubine Yan, who was only a baby at the time.

Concubine Wan was desperate to strike first. took out the edict of the former emperor and took the lead in demoting his own son Xianwang to a commoner, and exiled him to Yanbei, where the Yan clan could not intervene in it, so that his children and grandchildren would never be allowed to enter Beijing.

On the day that the Xianwang family arrived in Yanbei. Concubine Wan committed suicide by drinking dove poison.

In fact, over the years, the Xianwang family has been sheltered in the Yanbei Palace. Otherwise, he would not have survived to this day. Although he is a nest, he is still alive after all.

When Mr. Pei talked to Ren Yaoqi about this palace secret, he also sighed that Concubine Wan was indeed a character back then.

Not only is she beautiful and versatile, but she can also bend and stretch, be decisive and ruthless, and can afford to lose.

It's a pity that after all, he lost his life.

Ren Yaochi had never met this great-grandmother, but when she was in the capital, she had seen some portraits of Wan Guifei and poems written for her by the former kings who secretly circulated in the hands of Shilin talents.

Mr. Pei once smiled, and the reason why he asked Lu Dexin for her was because when he first saw her, he thought she looked like the woman in one of the paintings in his collection.

She originally thought he was joking, but when she saw the painting, she realized that Mr. Lu Daopei was talking about her great-grandmother, Wan Guifei.

And it was only then that she understood why Mr. Pei just said a few words to Lu Dexin, and Lu Dexin gave her away.

Lu Dexin is the supervisor sent to Ningxia by the imperial court, and the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always liked to use close servants as supervisors, Lu Dexin is actually a eunuch, and all his favors are from the masters above.

And his master, Empress Dowager Yan, was a mortal enemy with Wan Guifei back then, and Ren Yaoqi's similar appearance to Wan Guifei would bring him trouble.

At that time, she was actually very grateful for her face.

Many eunuchs will be a little paranoid about the affairs of men and women because of their physical disabilities. Although they are incompetent in sexual affairs, they still like to marry wives and concubines. Ren Yaoqi was very reluctant to recall the unbearable days when he fell into the hands of Lu De.

Dongsheng was suppressed by Ren Yaoqi's indifferent voice that seemed to see through the world.

The people who followed the king all understood the situation of the king in Yanbei. Not only did they have to worry about whether the Yan clan in the capital would suddenly send someone to assassinate them, but they also had to worry about whether the Yanbei Royal Mansion would hand them over to the Yan clan one day or even dispose of them quietly instead of the Yan clan.

As long as the Empress Dowager Yan and her son are still in power, as long as the Yan clan still controls the government, his masters will never have a real moment of peace of mind.

"What are the subordinates going to do, Miss Cousin, but please mention it." Dongsheng gritted his teeth and asked respectfully.

……

When Ren Yaohua sent someone in to let Ren Yaoqi go, Ren Yaoqi had already explained it clearly to Dongsheng.

Dongsheng stood there for a long time without moving, and the expression on his face was as white as paper, which made the maid who walked in startled, and thought that the fifth lady had just taught Dongsheng a hard lesson.

Ren Yaoqi sighed lightly, and said before walking out: "If you think about it carefully, you can also discuss it with Xia Sheng and them, and if there is something, send someone to send me a letter." ”

Ren Yaohua frowned when she saw Ren Yaoqi come out and said, "Why is it so long?" It's not too early, and the people are back, so let's go back. ”

Ren Yaoqi also explained what he should have explained, so he nodded and said yes.

Ren Yaohua didn't move immediately, and looked behind Ren Yaoqi, as if he wanted to wait for Dong Sheng to come out.

Ren Yaochi smiled: "I've already taught him a lesson, he won't dare anymore, and I have also explained some things to him to do, why don't you forget it this time?" ”

Ren Yaohua was a little dissatisfied: "What do you need him to do?" Is there no one in our family? ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't, so she could only beg softly: "Third sister, just think I owe you a favor?" When I first lectured him, I said that I would intercede with you for him. ”

At this time, Dongsheng walked out of the room, his face was still very ugly, and Ren Yaohua saw it at a glance and believed Ren Yaoqi's words that he had taught him.

Ren Yaochi hurriedly said: "And we are not good at crossing the people of the Li family who punished our grandfather, grandmother and uncle, after all, our surname is Ren, if we are known by others, I am afraid that we will have to make irresponsible remarks." As for the maids and women around you today, each of them will be rewarded with a tael of silver. ”

Saying that, Ren Yaoqi came closer and whispered, "Now we are still outside with our eldest aunt, it's not easy to make trouble." If you want to teach him a lesson, there will be more opportunities in the future, and you don't have to rush it. ”

Ren Yaohua snorted lightly, turned around and left.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Dongsheng and slowly followed Ren Yaohua out.
