Chapter 176: Qualifications and Qualifications
Chunjia glanced at the queen and said, "Go in and say." ”
Go in, get in!
Gu Zhen was ready to quarrel with him or even be punished, with a cold face, he entered the Chongchang Hall with him half a step behind, and let the left and right retreat.
She is in a really bad mood now, and she doesn't bow anymore, but just asks Chunjia what she wants to say?
"Concubine An was raised by the queen mother, and the queen mother couldn't help but be partial to her." The emperor took his hands, turned around, and said slowly, "The concubine is a squeamish person, and the position of the middle palace seems to be noble, but it is also very difficult. ”
The heavens have eyes!
This dog emperor actually knew that this palace was not easy???
Gu Zhen looked at him suspiciously: "The concubine knows that she is stupid, and she is ashamed to be in the last position......"
Then before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chunjia: "Therefore, you should be more attentive!" ”
…… Scold.
The queen kind of wants to kill.
"I'm busy with government affairs, and it's impossible to take care of the harem all the time." The emperor ignored Gu Zhen's face and said calmly, "Although the imperial heirs will go to school when they are old, not to mention that the scholars are afraid of the status of the imperial heirs, they may not dare to discipline them harshly. There are some words and things that they can't say and do. In the final analysis, you have to be the queen mother! But now you can't even do your own internal affairs, how can you mention the imperial heirs in the future, especially the little ten and twelve? ”
Gu Zhen took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty means that the concubine's repeated provocations and tricks, and the empress dowager's troubles everywhere, are all the internal affairs of the concubine?" ”
"Gu Zhen." The emperor looked at her, calling her name for the first time, even with her first name, his expression was not stern, but it was not gentle, and there was a faint disappointment in his depths, "It's not been a day or two since you were canonized, do you still think that if you become the queen, these six palaces will naturally crawl in front of you, and let you fall?" But where no one does this, where no one respects you, is it because of someone else, not because of yourself? Shouldn't I be more resentful and indignant than you? After all, I ascended the throne on the fifteenth of that year, but I had been a puppet for eight years before I participated in the court meeting for the first time! ”
"Have I ever complained to you?"
"I have ever said something bad about Ji or Uncle Wang in public?!"
"You feel wronged, but what grievances do you have? I set you up as the queen, let you live in the Chongchang Palace, and repeatedly recorded the prince in your name as a concubine, and the concubine didn't give you a greeting because of her pampering, and I also said her...... In the past two years, even if the concubine is still a little vinegar in private, how can you be embarrassed on the scene? Not to mention other concubines! ”
"As for the queen mother, yes, the queen mother has always favored Concubine An and the Yuan family, but no one is perfect, since you are the queen of me, she is your mother-in-law, what is the problem of serving your mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law?! Could it be that the mother-in-law in the world are all fair and just elders who can be on errands in Dali Temple?! The women in the market are not like you, just because of some stubbornness of the elders, they feel that they can't live their lives! ”
Chunjia sighed, "I hope you can always sit on the throne of the queen, so I tell you this, if you still resent me, then, that's it, anyway, I am still young, and when the little ten and twelve grow up, they may not be able to find time to raise them personally." ”
He shook his head as he spoke, and walked away.
Gu Zhen sat in the hall for a while without speaking, and the attendants observed outside for a long time before they dared to approach cautiously: "Niangniang, Your Majesty ...... him"
“…… You all go out. Gu Zhen didn't look at them, and only said in a trance, "Let the palace be quiet." ”
She was thinking, what did Chun Jia mean by what she said just now?
What does it mean to want her to sit on the throne all the time? He obviously recalled Ke Chung, canonized the Marquis of Jingning and sent him to the Northland, this move obviously distrusted Gu Fangshu, and even guarded against Gu Fangshu!
At this time, Gu Zhen's back position knew that it was already stormy.
Chunjia gave such an expectation, could it be that even if the Gu family fell, he would not abandon her?
How is that possible......
Gu Zhen didn't believe that the position of queen was either because of the king's love or because of her mother's power. She sat on it because of the latter, and never had the former.
If the Gu family, no, if Gu Fangshu loses power, she will be the next Ji Lingzi.
Not even Ji Lingzi.
After all, the Ji family, who was born as a former queen, has a meritorious service to Chunjia, in order to prevent the world from saying that he will take revenge, the Son of Heaven poisoned the Ji family on the one hand, and on the other hand, he gave Ye Guogong and others a lot of grief, and even after the Ji Lingzi sisters went, they also rewarded them.
But the Gu family did not contribute to the emperor's accession to the throne.
"Listen to him, the position of the prince, he still belongs to the younger ten or twelve." The queen bit her lip, this point was very important to her and to the Gu family.
Let's put it this way, if it can be determined that these two children can be made as princes and eventually ascend the throne, instead of temporarily being a stepping stone in the East Palace for others, then Gu Zhen's posterior position is dispensable.
Of course, in most cases, Gu Zhen is not the queen, and the possibility of the child under her knee becoming a prince is basically non......
In short, the meaning of Chunjia's words just now is to hope that Gu Zhen can be more competitive, and don't always complain about the Empress Dowager Yuan and Concubine Min's faults or provocations, which not only loses the temperament of the middle palace, but also makes the emperor suspect that she can't train the qualified East Palace.
If the emperor and queen trust each other very much, Gu Zhen is not a person who can't listen to persuasion, so he will naturally reflect on it.
In other words, the emperor made it clear that he hoped that the queen would cultivate her son-in-law as the queen with her heart, and Gu Zhen's heart would fall, and she would not be so easily provoked by Empress Dowager Yuan and Concubine Min.
The problem is that Gu Zhen doesn't believe Chunjia.
That's why she hesitated.
On the one hand, she hopes that what Chunjia says is sincere, although he doesn't love her, he still abides by the principle of having a grandson, and will take his son-in-law as the reserve, and will not even abandon her position because of the Gu family's downfall, and even hopes that she can be more worthy of the position of queen; On the other hand, she thought of the former queen, thought of the Ji family, thought of Luo Hanyi, Ouyang Fulu, Meng Youyi, Yin Qian, these people and things, what do you say that you have no jokes, the people who have been deceived by Chunjia, and the families who have been pitted, are there still few?
Do you know that his words and actions today are not to let her, the Gu family behind her, let down her vigilance, so that he can have a chance to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?
Gu Zhen couldn't make a decision when he thought about it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Therefore, she hates Chunjia the most, either she will be ruthless to the end, and she will not give her or give Gu any hope, so that Gu can also make up her mind to break the kettle and fight against the water; Either take a substantive attitude, even if you don't take the Empress Dowager Yuan as an elder, is it difficult to make Concubine Min obey the queen in everything?
The most important thing is that since Chunjia also wants to establish a successor, why can't he comply with the request of the courtiers and make the tenth prince or the twelfth prince the prince?!
“…… The queen is too incompetent. When the queen's heart fluctuated, Chunjia, who had already returned to the Taichu Palace, was sighing with Yanyin, "At the beginning, no one mentioned the matter of establishing the prince, and it was only a few days since the king of Chu was canonized, and something went wrong!" After that, the queen mother sent the eighth child to her, and by the way, she touched the situation in her palace...... In this way, if I continue to establish a successor, whether it is ten or twelve, how old is it now? Can you protect yourself? If you also follow in the footsteps of the King of Chu, is it possible that I will continue to support my concubine under the queen's knees?! Even if I have many children now, there is no such thing! ”
Yan Yin lowered her eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, let the slave maid say a heart-wrenching word, the queen mother has been very frightened for the past two years, all because of Zhaowu Bo Dai sin, but she has not made a special sensational contribution, but has made mistakes and omissions." Especially this time, the noble son of the high family has suffered a lot of losses, which is tantamount to greatly offending the temple. This alone is enough for the queen to worry all day long. His Majesty did not agree to establish the prince, and the queen mother was only afraid of being too careful. ”
Chunjia said: "I know how much she cares, and I have mentioned her several times, but ......"
The emperor shook his head and said, "There is no way to do such a thing as qualification. ”
He couldn't help but say, "Like a concubine, sometimes I don't dare to penetrate the slightest tone in front of her." Otherwise, she might have drawn inferences from her......"
If the queen has such a smart concubine, where does he need to worry so much?
But then again, if the queen was like a concubine, Gu Zhen would not have been able to sit in the back seat at the beginning.
"Your Majesty, why don't you mention a little bit about Old Lady Gu?" Yan Yin didn't dare to answer this, but said, "The queen is just a female streamer, but the old lady Gu has always heard the string song and knows the elegance." ”
Moreover, the Gu family is on the side of the imperial capital, and it has always been the old lady Gu who is in charge, not the queen.
"I said that the queen is a matter between husband and wife, what is it to talk to the old lady Gu?" The emperor shook his head slightly and said, "That's it, although Xiao Ten and Twelve are both sons-in-law, they can't see the virtuous and foolish at this age." Just let them grow for a few more years. I'm not old enough to wait for so many years. ”
He wants to establish a successor, but if there are two healthy sons-in-law, of course he also wants to choose the smarter one.
After all, it is the throne that I have worked hard to get, but I don't want to work hard for a lifetime and finally hand it over to a loser.
Yan Yin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is in full bloom in spring and autumn, and you can protect the emperor's heirs for a long time!" ”
Chunjia sighed, didn't talk about this topic anymore, and let him: "I went to the queen's palace today, and the concubine is afraid that she has already remembered it, and she will pick up some new things and send them to the Huanhua Palace later, so I will go to see her in the evening." ”
He won't let the concubine be the queen, but he also really likes Yun Fenglian.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty only stayed in Chongchang Hall for a while before leaving, and it is said that when the holy driver left, his face was ugly." The Qing people put a bit of Cuihai Qingzhi Zhu Hai in front of Yun Feng Huang, "This is Yan Yin Gonggong personally sent over, saying that the new tribute came in from the bottom, and it has not yet been put into storage, His Majesty thinks that Niang Niang will like it, so he ordered it to be sent over immediately...... Look, your majesty followed the queen to Yanfu Palace, probably to scold the queen. Speaking of which, I don't know what the queen thinks, obviously Zhao Wubo has made mistakes again and again, she doesn't know how to restrain herself, but she has a trouble with the queen mother, and she is not afraid that this move will affect the family? ”
Yun Fenghuan smiled and said lightly: "The queen is not a very calm person, she has actually changed a lot in the past two years, but the past ten or twenty years have been an acute child, where is it so easy to change this grinding gun?" You don't want to think about what she's heard in the past two years? ”
In her opinion, the queen's current impetuousness really can't complain about Gu Zhen.
After all, from the position of the queen, she, her family, and the heirs under her knees began to fall all the way after the Dingbei Army attacked Hale and suffered a lot of losses, even to the point of storm.
This is the foundation of the middle palace lady's life, and so far I can't see the hope of revitalization, but it is getting worse, who can not be nervous?
Especially in the palace, the Empress Dowager of the Mother of Love stuffed the eight princes into the knees of the queen, and raised the six princes herself. Coupled with the always aggressive concubine, Qin Wang Zhaoqing has a strong sense of presence in class and in front of Chunjia, which is incomparable to the three princes and other imperial heirs, this alone is enough for the middle palace to sit still, not to mention that Yun Fenghuang himself is pregnant.
The pressure on the queen can be imagined.
It's just that the two cards that are most desired and the biggest in her hand: the Ten Princes and the Twelve Princes, who have the name of sisters-in-law, are young and can't help her at all!
Isn't it natural to be impetuous in such a situation?
Of course, the most important thing is that Gu Zhen is indeed not the material for intrigue.
When a person is stressed and has nothing to do...... If you can still calm down, then ...... That can only be said to be a broken jar.
"Your Majesty knows what this palace thinks very well, where can he think more because he went to the queen's palace for a while? Besides, that's the Middle Palace, shouldn't Your Majesty be there for her in the past? Yun Fenghuang walked away for a while, looked at the bead hairpin in front of him and sighed, and threw it into the makeup box casually, "There is no need to say these words to please you, the joy of this palace is not something that these little things can win at all." ”
Chunjia didn't want to give what she really wanted, and Chunjia knew that she knew, so she would have such a move.
seems to be considerate, even went to the queen to talk about things, and did not stay overnight, and immediately sent something to appease, but in fact, it is equivalent to saying that he is telling the concubine clearly: I will not treat you badly except for the queen.
Another person may admit it.
After all, it is the will of the Son of Heaven.
But that's someone else, for Yun Fenglian, she wants both Chunjia's heart and the posterior, and the identity of the mother of the prince, of course, Qingci Palace in the future!
Yes, she wants everything.
"Don't talk about this, no matter what Your Majesty says to the queen, the queen will definitely be in turmoil at this time." Yun Fenghuang leaned back, and Qingren hurriedly stuffed a hidden sac to make her more comfortable, "Chen Jing, you go, add fire to the middle palace." is also the mother of the country, and she always dares to be angry but doesn't dare to speak, like what words? Bengong is just a concubine, and she is not as indecisive as her! ”
So in the evening of that day, when the queen was still thinking carefully about the emperor's true intentions, the palace people hurriedly came to say: "Niangniang, the two Gu nobles have fought!" ”
