Chapter 337: The Old Lady's Considerations
To be honest, Yun Fenghuang almost forgot about Empress Dowager Qu.
Originally, because the queen mother was too low-key, she didn't have much sense of existence in the former harem.
Since Empress Dowager Yuan was forced to leave the palace city, go to Fuyang County, and take her away, Yun Fenghuan, who was originally tacitly teaming up with her to deal with Chunyun Palace, directly left her behind.
After all, the confidant Empress Dowager Yuan is basically out, and she has no use for Empress Dowager Qu.
It's the Empress Dowager Qu, and many times, she has to rely on her.
For example, at this moment, the messenger said cautiously: "...... In the early years, the Empress Dowager was very mean to my mother. For the sake of Your Majesty, my mother-in-law endured it stubbornly! Afterward...... After going back this time, it was okay at first, and the king of Fuyang treated my mother as well as the queen mother. As a result, within two days, the Empress Dowager began to stir up trouble......"
In fact, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Qu, Empress Dowager Yuan basically never stopped being critical of the Empress Dowager Qu.
But after returning to Fuyang County this time, it was different. In the past, because Empress Dowager Qu was Chunjia's biological mother after all, Empress Dowager Yuan's methods were very hidden, and once she was provoked by Empress Dowager Qu, she naturally had restraint. This time, I don't know if I consciously gave in to the reason for returning to Sangzi, and the Empress Dowager Yuan was particularly menacing.
The almost fastidious Queen Mother Qu is not in all kinds of ways, and even clearly sets rules for her!
At first, the Fuyang Wang couple persuaded Chunjia a little, but they were soon beaten by the Empress Dowager Yuan, so they didn't dare to say anything.
After that, the Empress Dowager Yuan changed her method to toss the Empress Dowager Qu, and there was almost no time to stop.
"My mother is already old, if she goes on like this, how can she stand it?" The messenger sighed, "That's why I have to come to Niang Niang for help." ”
"The words of the Queen Mother are tormenting the palace." Yun Fenghuang listened and said lightly, "First, whether it is the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother, they are all elders in this palace. Where would this palace dare to meddle in the grievances between the two elders? Second, the Queen Mother is the biological mother of Her Majesty, and you should tell Your Majesty about such things. ”
The envoy smiled bitterly and said: "Niangniang, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, do you think that Your Majesty is wise and martial, do you really not know?" My mother-in-law said that although Your Majesty was born to her, in the end, it is not as good as raising grace...... Your Majesty is still partial to the Queen Mother after all between the two Queen Mothers! ”
"Then it's not enough to say that I watched Empress Dowager Yuan force Empress Dowager Qu to death?" Yun Feng said in his heart, "No matter how partial Chunjia is to the Empress Dowager Yuan, the Empress Dowager Qu is her own mother." is really willing to watch her die, and Empress Dowager Qu may not be able to survive until she goes back to Fuyang County. ”
She felt that what the messenger said was not true, so she refused to intervene, but only perfunctory.
In the end, the other party may have no choice, so he said: "My mother said that if the mother is willing to help, she is willing to introduce some officials from the former dynasty for the mother." Although there is no pillar of talent among them, there are also those who have been released for many years in local government affairs
Lots of lessons. ”
Yun Fenghuan was surprised by these words, Empress Dowager Qu's people would not come empty-handed, she knew this in her heart, because the love between her and Empress Dowager Qu was not deep enough to give each other a head in vain.
It's just that she didn't underestimate the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother Qu was really not proud.
In Yun Fenghuang's opinion, most of what this queen mother can promise to herself now is just some innocuous conditions, and even if she doesn't agree, she will be coerced before she dies.
Who knew that it would actually provide the support she needed most now?
Yun Fenghuang suddenly became vigilant and said: "With all due respect, there are these people under Niangniang's hands, why don't you let them go to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to fulfill the responsibility of a son?" Even if His Majesty favors the Queen Mother. But according to the etiquette law, the Queen Mother gave birth to Her Majesty, knowing that the Queen Mother was in a bad situation, how could Her Majesty stand by and watch? ”
"If it is after the temple, it is indeed difficult for Your Majesty to continue to pretend to be confused." The messenger smiled bitterly and said, "But...... And after that? Can't you let people report this time and again? When the time comes, even if Your Majesty doesn't bother with it, those people are afraid that they will not be able to bear it. Besides, Niangniang has no other intention than to enjoy her old age now. These people, left in the hands of Niangniang, are of little use, but you are the concubine Niangniang, who is young and promising! ”
"But I don't know how Niangniang has always lived in the palace, how did she get the help of the ministers?" Yun Fenghuang groaned, and there was some truth in this.
Empress Dowager Qu, as the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, if the enemy is anyone else, it will be easy to solve. It's very embarrassing to be the adoptive mother of the Son of Heaven, or the adoptive mother who is closer to the Son of Heaven than to her. Not to mention that all she can recommend are some magistrates, even if they are important ministers in the court, it is not easy to talk to her again and again.
However, Yun Fenghuang originally had a grudge with the Empress Dowager Yuan, even if the Empress Dowager Yuan retreated to Fuyang County now, but according to the temperament of Concubine Min, she would not refuse to kill them all.
It is more likely to help Empress Dowager Qu never suffer in the future.
The envoy looked around, saw that Yun Fenghuan was indifferent, and knew that all the people present were confidants, so he said: "At the beginning, when the old lady went, she left some manpower for the mother...... Otherwise, with the viciousness of the Queen Mother, she wanted to attack her mother at that time. Two years ago, the Ji family was destroyed, and some people took the initiative to find Niangniang, saying that they were willing to take refuge in ...... Niangniang said at the time that she was getting older and was not used to asking about foreign affairs, but those people were resolute, and Niangniang accepted it. Although over the years, Niangniang has not let them do anything, but they do have the heart, and they will have a private filial piety every New Year's holiday......"
Yun Fenghuang glanced at her with some surprise, after the fall of the Ji family, it is understandable that some of the remnants of the party switched to the Empress Dowager Qu.
After all, although she also asked Xie Wuzheng and others to extend an olive branch in private at that time, not to mention that there was a queen above her, and she had not yet given birth to King Jin at that time, even now, many people in the previous dynasty were not very optimistic about her. After all, there is such a thing as snatching the reserve
, it's really hard to say who can have the last laugh.
But the Empress Dowager Qu is different, her son has already become the emperor. Even if she is low-key and has no right to speak, at least she is safe!
The people who took refuge in her may just want to save the lives of their whole family, but as for going further, they don't expect much.
The key is, will Concubine Fuyangzhuang leave someone for the Empress Dowager Qu?
Yun Fenghuang knew early on that Empress Dowager Yuan's mother-in-law, Concubine Fuyangzhuang, didn't know why, and she had always disliked Empress Dowager Yuan. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very tense. So much so that after King Duanwang of Fuyang went, Concubine Zhuang also went not long after. She had doubted before, was Concubine Zhuang killed by Empress Dowager Yuan?
As far as she knows about Concubine Zhuang, Chunjia's grandmother is a very strict and extremely high-eyed person.
Even the Empress Dowager Yuan, who was born in the Wang clan of Fuyang County, couldn't look down on her, how could she leave the manpower to the Empress Dowager Qu?
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but ask this question tactfully.
The envoy coughed a little unnaturally, and then said: "Xu is old concubine has always disliked the Empress Dowager of Loving Mother, and I am afraid that after I go, the Empress Dowager of Loving Mother will not be able to tolerate my mother." Although my mother was born in a humble background, she gave birth to His Majesty to the first king. In view of this, the old lady has always taken care of my mother. ”
Yun Fenghuang, who heard this, smiled, didn't speak, and said in his heart that you are looking at the youth of the palace, so you are talking nonsense?
Concubine Fuyang Zhuang doesn't have much closeness to Chunjia's own grandson, not to mention Aiwu and Wu's care of Chunjia's biological mother?
However, she thought about it for a while, so she didn't ask any further, and only asked about the specific situation of these foreign ministers in the hands of Empress Dowager Qu.
After a long time, Yun Fenghuang was satisfied and asked the messenger to be sent away.
Qingren stepped forward to serve and asked her why she didn't continue to get to the bottom of the matter?
"Although I haven't seen Concubine Zhuang in this palace, I heard Your Majesty mention it when I was a child, and I can guess some of the ins and outs." Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea and said lightly, "The most important thing in the eyes of Concubine Zhuang is her own son Fuyang Duanwang, and the concubine and the grandson are not in her eyes, let alone a little concubine?" The reason why the people will be handed over to the Queen Mother is that it will block the Queen Mother; Second, I'm afraid it's still for Your Majesty! ”
Seeing that the Qing people were puzzled, she sighed, "An elder like Concubine Zhuang, in fact, our family also has it." It's just that our family's heirs are prosperous, and they are not obvious. Think about it when Bengong was a child, he slandered the sixth sister with his grandmother, when was it not accurate? Your grandmother is really so easy to deceive, does she believe everything this palace says? It's nothing more than because the palace is a concubine, and the sixth sister is a concubine. In my grandmother's eyes, there was a difference. Therefore, even if she knew that the palace was messing around, her grandmother didn't bother to expose it, and even, in order to make the palace happy, she deliberately indulged ......"
Thinking about herself when she was a child, she was also quite evil, she listened to the big house at that time, and she didn't like Xie Fengfu horizontally.
At that time, he was young, and he didn't understand the importance of establishing a character and a good reputation, so he couldn't listen to Jiang's euphemistic persuasion and teachings at all, and his mind was full of suppressing Xie Fengfang. For grandmothers
Every time I favor myself, I feel very satisfied. For this reason, it has added a lot of obstacles to the Jiang family.
Thinking of the Jiang family, thinking of Xie Jian again, and thinking of the Xie family today...... The concubine's eyes darkened, and she continued, "It's just that Prince Fuyang Duan's heirs are thin, and the two children are all from concubines, no matter how dissatisfied Concubine Zhuang is, when she comes, it is impossible to say that she has no pity for Your Majesty." It's just that His Majesty was young at that time, and whatever he wanted to give His Majesty might end up in the hands of the Empress Dowager. Concubine Zhuang didn't like the Empress Dowager, and most of them didn't trust her. Then the inheritance of Concubine Zhuang must be given to someone who will not partner with the Empress Dowager and will support His Majesty. ”
There is no one more suitable for this candidate than Empress Dowager Qu.
Even if Concubine Zhuang doesn't look down on Qu's family, she probably doesn't trust her very much, but the blood relationship between her biological mother and son determines that Queen Mother Qu will try her best to stand on Chunjia's side in terms of emotions and interests.
In this way, Empress Dowager Qu survived and has a certain amount of bargaining chips, how she lives should not be in the consideration of Concubine Zhuang, but ...... She is alive, she has bargaining chips, which is tantamount to a deterrent to the Empress Dowager Yuan, so that the Empress Dowager Yuan cannot treat Chunjia as she wants.
Although at such a time, a wife has nothing to come out of, and generally speaking, she will not treat the concubine who continues the bloodline title from the concubine, but there are always exceptions, such as Yunfeng Huang, don't you wholeheartedly raise the children of King Qin and Zhaoqing into twenty-four filial children who obey their words?
This is definitely what Concubine Zhuang doesn't want to see.
It's just that the concubine didn't expect that Chunjia actually had the fate of a true dragon son of heaven, and the Empress Dowager Yuan hated her and the Empress Dowager Qu to the core, and she really didn't stumble on Chunjia...... I didn't use this backhand.
No, it should be said that Empress Dowager Qu is afraid that she has not disclosed it to Chunjia at all due to various considerations.
Until now, he may have been really forced by Empress Dowager Yuan, so he took it out to trade with Yun Fenghuang.
