Chapter 41: Confrontation Again (Part II)

"Mao Jieyu's biggest disadvantage is that her father's family is not obvious. In the front hall of the county government, Emperor Chunjia shook the tea bowl lightly, admired the pale green tea soup for a long time, and said slowly in his mouth, "So even if she stepped on the concubine position of the Ji family, she still had no succession." She herself knows this, and she must be trying to solve this problem by making frequent moves these days...... That's why I have to speed up! ”

At this moment, the wild goose is not in the hall, and in the room, which is becoming quieter because of the noisy cicadas, only Deng Chengzhai, who is in a green shirt and bamboo crown, sits down and sees him alone.

"After all, it's just a female stream...... Deng Chengzhai stopped talking for a while, and finally said it, "Even if she becomes the climate, there are still high-level vacancies in the palace, so it is not difficult to arrange." His Majesty specially launched a plan for her in advance...... Minister......"

He didn't continue, but his expression and tone all showed his disapproval.

In fact, he wanted to say this to the emperor yesterday, but Ji Mingji had an accident with Yuan Shu's death, and the emperor suddenly arrested people...... After a lot of accidents, he didn't find a chance at all.

Today, a special person got up early in the morning and wanted to come to admonish, but when he went out, he was blocked by his uncle Cui Wan, and told him for a long time, asking him to try to find out the emperor's attitude on Zheng Fengdi's case, isn't this delayed until now?

It's not that he doesn't know that Yun Fenghuan is more tormented than ordinary concubines, the problem is, "The Yun family and Mao Jieyu are famous but have no feelings, and they even have a lot of hatred for each other." Not to mention that Yiguo Gong has always been towards His Majesty, which cannot even be compared with his own daughter, let alone Mao Jieyu. ”

"The Xie family has lived in the north for generations, and their roots are only in Sangzi, and they have no influence in the imperial capital. It was Mao Jieyu who tried to lift ...... It's not that the minister underestimates her, she can't even control the promotion of a loose official in the foreign dynasty now, let alone the Enze family? ”

Deng Chengzhai didn't think that the Xie family could become the second Ji family, and in his opinion, as long as the relatives did not develop to the point of the Ji family, as long as the emperor collected the imperial power that the Son of Heaven should have, then what kind of dignity the concubines were not confined to the palace would be out of control.

The initiative will still be in the hands of the emperor.

In the final analysis, it was the Ji family, Zheng Gu, Cui Wan, and even the regent who was still working closely with the emperor to hinder the emperor's plan.

The harem is nothing more than a trail...... Deng Chengzhai was a little suspicious that the emperor had been in the palace for a long time, so he didn't dare to take the harem women lightly.

But this was a bit too offensive, and he naturally wouldn't say it.

I can only hope that these euphemistic objections will be heeded by the emperor......

was secretly looking at it, but Emperor Chunjia smiled and asked bluntly: "Yue Ting, do you think I am too careful and too jealous of Mao Jieyu?" ”

Deng Chengzhai hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

The emperor said, "It's okay, I know you're loyal." But ......"

He showed a thoughtful look on his face, and the original ease and leisure were also put away little by little, this attitude infected Deng Chengzhai below, and subconsciously straightened his back.

"You and I have been planning for many years, and as early as after the summer feast, the Ji family is already in the bag." The emperor pondered for a moment, raised his head, and said slowly, "Ji."

After going, Yueting thought, who is our next target? ”

Deng Chengzhai hesitated and said in a low voice: "I think the minister thinks ...... Xiucai's rebellion has not been successful for three years, Cui Wan and other Qingliu seem to be huge, but in fact, there is nothing to worry about, not to mention that according to the previous plan, the next step is to win over the people in Shilin, so Cui Wan can let it go. ”

"After all, the regent is your uncle, and he is the blood and blood of His Majesty Emperor Shenzong, so it is difficult to move lightly without conclusive evidence or absolute superiority. The most important thing is that Your Majesty has not been in power for a long time, and our foundation is still shallow, and we still need to win over the regent to stabilize the overall situation......"

Speaking of which, the answer is self-evident: Hussar General, Zheng Gu.

In other words, the forbidden army mastered by Zheng Gu.

The emperor did not speak, but looked at him.

Deng Chengzhai was puzzled at first, but then showed a sudden look, got up from his seat, and bowed down to the hall: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and Weichen is beyond his reach!" ”

"Get up." The emperor raised his hand, shook his head, and said, "Between you and me, there is no need to be like this. ”

He groaned, and then said, "Yu Yan, you can find an excuse to send him away later, lest Mao Jieyu attack him." ”

Yu Yan is the word for Yunqike.

"Brother Yu Yan has no second heart for His Majesty." Deng Chengzhai considered the wording when he heard this, and said, "But unlike Haixi Hou and other rebellious ministers and thieves, the minister thinks that even if Mao Jieyu meets him at the summer banquet, he will not be bewitched by him?" ”

The Emperor glanced at him.

Deng Chengzhai hurriedly bowed his head: "...... At the beginning, the minister was on Songling to listen to Mao Jieyu talking to her confidant palace maid, mentioning the 'prince', and later inquired that Mao Jieyu had met Brother Yu Yan in the name of Yun Ronghua that day, it seems that Wei Jieyu was also on the side at first, but according to the minister's observation these days, Brother Yu Yan ...... to His Majesty"

"Where did you think you went?" The Emperor smiled dumbly and said, "When did I ever doubt the loyalty of the Yun Clan? I just think that Mao Jieyu is cunning, just in case - Yu Yan is young and vigorous and has never suffered hardships, he has always been impulsive in doing things, Mao Jieyu is a person, presumably Yueting you Songling met, you should also understand Yu Yan's kind of sex. Son, she is the most handy to deal with. ”

Thinking of the concubine who slandered herself in front of the palace people if she didn't agree with each other, the corners of Deng Chengzhai's mouth twitched, revealing a helpless smile: "What Your Majesty said is true." ”

But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but propose, "Why don't Your Majesty ask Mao Jieyu to live in the inner room temporarily, and wait for the dust to settle before accompanying her?" ”

This is a euphemism, in fact, it is to ask the emperor why he didn't detain Yun Fenghuan, and when they finished their business, let her serve them when the time came, and there would be no waves, right?

"Wouldn't she be able to explain to the Ji family in that way?" The emperor smiled and said softly, "This Jieyu is difficult to entangle, and I have a headache...... Since she entered the palace, she has been looking for trouble for me, but she is pinching her proportions, and I often have bad seizures, so I can only endure it. This kind of taste, you should also taste it on Ji's side, right? ”

As Yun Fenghuang was puzzled at the moment, of course he could guard the three concubines who stayed behind and not allow them to do anything in private.

But the problem is that after doing this, the cloud wind will follow

The grievances of Yuan's aunt and nephew, as well as her articulate nature, are easy to explain to the Ji family, who is destined to suffer a big loss-that is not conducive to his future plans, and it is difficult to get out of the anger that has endured humiliation over the years, so it is better to let this master freely give advice to the Ji family......

When the time comes......

Thinking of this, the emperor smiled and said, "I have a reason to do this, you don't need to worry. ”

Deng Chengzhai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and did not ask carefully, and bowed his hand with a smile: "The minister wishes Your Majesty an early Yuji Yunei, the rejuvenation of the country, and the achievement of a thousand great causes!" Ministers are willing to attach themselves to the tail and participate in the prosperous world together! ”

Before he finished speaking, there was a deliberate coughing sound from Yan Yin outside!

The two of them were suddenly alert, and when they looked at each other, Deng Chengzhai asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty." Yan led a few steps and said to the door, "Jieyu Niangniang is here, saying that she remembered that His Majesty's breakfast was useless, and she specially sent her own hand-made black plum drink and Jusheng Nu." ”

When he said the word "with his own hands", his tone was a little strange, and the monarchs and ministers inside were quite speechless: when these two things were made in the small kitchen, someone came to tell them, and from the beginning to the end, let alone do it himself, no one had ever appeared in the courtyard where the small kitchen was located.

At most, in order to explain Xijing alone, he sent Xile over to take a look......

"Forget it, let her in." The emperor couldn't cry or laugh, thought about it, but still commanded, and gave Deng Chengzhai a look.

Deng Chengzhai understood, got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister retires." ”

He had to take advantage of that Mao Jieyu to find the emperor, and hurry up to Yunqike to have a look...... Who knows that Yun Fenghuang came over at this time under the banner of rewarding the emperor, is it that Ming Xiu plank road secretly Chen Cang, personally came to entangle the emperor, and someone has already been sent to calculate the Yiguo Mansion?

Deng Chengzhai didn't expect much from this concubine's temperament.

"Your Majesty." After a while, Yun Fenghuang came in and took a look at Deng Chengzhai, who happened to leave, and was slightly stunned, but he didn't say anything, just took the food box carried by the palace maid behind him, and put it on the several cases in front of the emperor, and introduced in a coquettish voice while opening it, "The concubine thinks that if it is hot today, the county government is not as good as the palace, but I am wronged Your Majesty!" Therefore, I specially cooked some drinks and snacks, and invited Your Majesty to taste them...... The concubine body has not been done for a few days, if it is a hand, Your Majesty is not allowed to laugh at the concubine body! ”

The emperor thought to himself, what you call your own hands, probably taking the food out of the food box with your own hands at this moment.

He didn't poke it either, and smiled faintly: "The concubine has a heart, how can I laugh?" ”

Just didn't touch the black plum drink and Jushengnu, only stretched out his hand to pull Yun Fenghuan to his knees and sat on his arms, and said softly, "It's so hot, I'm afraid the stove is getting more and more difficult, it's really hard to love the concubine...... Give me a look at your hands, but it's hot? ”

"Isn't it because your hands are hot?" When Yun Fenghuan heard this, he immediately raised a pair of snow-white soft wattles, but saw that the ten fingers were slender like spring shoots, and the nails that were not dyed with impatiens juice were natural pink, all as bright as rubbing oil, and there was a crescent moon representing sufficient qi and blood underneath, which was simply a model of not touching the spring water in her life - she was stunned and could open her eyes

Talking nonsense, she said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, look here, here, fortunately, the concubine reacted quickly and used well water to give the town in time, but now I can't see it, but ah, it hurts!" ”

The emperor was very cooperative, specially rubbed her a few times, and said softly: "Well, I saw it, and there are seals!" ”

He pointed to the mark that was kneaded by himself without changing his face, and said affectionately, "Concubine Ai must not work so hard in the future, otherwise, it will hurt Concubine Ai's hands and hurt in my heart!" ”

"......" Yun Fenghuan was given goosebumps by his sudden numbness, and he didn't answer for a while, and was stunned before he smiled and punched him, "I hate it, Your Majesty will say such things to provoke the concubine...... Xijing and the others are still there, and the concubines are embarrassed! ”

Saying that, he lightly broke out of the emperor's arms and picked up the empty food box, "Your Majesty is here early in the morning, there must be busy with political affairs, and the concubine does not dare to delay for too long, so she will retire...... Your Majesty, don't work too hard, after all, the body is important. ”

The emperor looked at her with a smile, his expression was full of gentleness and doting, as if he had mistaken Yun Fenghuang and Yuan Neem, and said softly: "Concubine Ai should also take care of herself, remember to ask the imperial doctor to take a look when you go back, and prescribe a pair of ointments to apply." ”

"The concubine didn't tell Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuan endured the disgusting smile and waved goodbye to him, "As she spoke, she was reluctant to leave." ”

After playing the fake you and me in front of the palace people, the figure of the "concubine" disappeared in the door, and the smile on the emperor's face disappeared cleanly. Throw it to hide! ”

And after making sure that the emperor's eyes couldn't see his expression, Yun Fenghuang also quickly pulled up a late girl's face, and walked back to the backyard with a wind under his feet!

She just went back to the room and sat down, and the two palace maids who had already noticed the strange were nervously gathered around, preventing the others from still being there, not daring to ask, and their eyes were full of expectation.
