Chapter 43: Yun's Thousand Miles of Horses
When Yun Fenghuang lived in his aunt's house before, in order to avoid suspicion, he never took the initiative to inquire about the men of the Yun family, especially the kind of people who seemed to be old, at most to understand the temperament and preferences of some noble women who often came and went.
Therefore, although she has been in and out of the Yiguo Mansion for almost three years, and every New Year's holiday, the people of the Yun clan always have to greet the patriarch, and it is said that there is an opportunity to recognize the Yun family, but because of this caution, in fact, there are not many people who can call their names after taking a look.
At this moment, he moved towards the queen and asked in a low voice.
Gu Zhen said: "You listen to them themselves, can you remember?" ”
The two of them were stepping forward to salute, and then waved around, and then reported to themselves, and sure enough, they were all children of the Yun family, among them, the one who looked like a guest was named Yun Jinke, and the main owner was Yunxi Ke.
"He is one of the people who has just been with the county lord." Gu Zhen took a shallow sip of the wine cup in front of him, and said in a low voice with Yun Fenghuan, "This is the nephew of the Duke of Yiguo, his father has been out and has only returned to the imperial capital a few months ago. Don't look at his youth, it is said that he can help his father with advice before he has tied his hair, and he is one of the Qilin'er of the Yun family's generation. This palace looks at His Majesty's meaning, and seems to value him very much. ”
Yun Fenghuang snorted coldly in his heart, and said in his heart that Chunjia was afraid that he had fallen in love with his father and son early in the morning, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that he had been out and had come back a few months ago?
Now he specially selected a companion to help the fun, which is nothing more than a reason for the emperor to marry the eldest princess Minghui to him.
Sure enough, after the Yun brothers reported their identities, they said that they planned to perform archery to help the wine.
Chunjia joked with the important ministers, and then asked someone to set up an arrow target under His Royal Highness, and someone took a bow and arrow for them, because it was the royal front, so the arrows were removed, so although it is not easy to hurt people, it also has an impact on the head.
However, the Yun brothers bent their bows and buckled the strings, and to put it mildly, they hit the bull's-eye with three arrows in a row, which immediately attracted a round of applause.
Chun Jia specially ordered to give wine, and after the Yun brothers thanked him for drinking, Yun Xike stepped forward to ask for the arrow target to be moved back a hundred steps.
The main hall of the small square pot is just an ordinary scale, so if the arrow target is to be moved outside the hall, people with poor eyesight are afraid that they can't even see the bull's-eye clearly, let alone hit the target.
Yunxike's move immediately attracted the reproach of the fathers headed by Yiguo Gong, who seemed to be true or false, and ordered him not to be rash.
However, the Son of Heaven didn't care, and said that "young people should have such a spirit", so he ordered him to act according to his words.
So in front of everyone's eyes, the arrow target was carried outside the hall by two chamberlains.
But at this time, a problem was found, that is, the terrain of the small square pot is rugged, the main hall is said to be quite flat, but out of the temple gate, but a dozen steps, it is a rockery and strange rocks towering, there is no way to put the arrow target.
Chunjia asked Yunxi what to do?
Yunxike confessed, turned his head to look at it, and asked to put the arrow target on a rockery opposite the main hall.
"Isn't this brother Guifei the reincarnation of the ancient name?" Gu Zhen said, "That place is almost three hundred steps away from him, right?" It's not a small lake breeze today. ”
"Since he said that, he is probably a little sure, right?" Although it is said that it is a family, but the Yun family stood out, Yun Fenglian was not happy at all, so she said lightly, "If you miss, you will be to blame, and you can't blame others." ”
It's best to miss, so even if the emperor doesn't punish him, I'm afraid it won't be good to demote Minghui to the Yun clan in a short period of time.
Hopefully, things will turn around.
When she prayed silently, Yunxike changed to a strong bow, buckled the arrow and opened the string, such as holding the full moon, and saw the outside of the hall loosen for a moment, because of the strength of the strong bow, the sound of the arrow body broke through the air like a scream, not long, there were attendants outside the hall rushed in, and shouted with a surprised face: "Hit!" Hit the bull's-eye! ”
The hall suddenly burst into a sensation, and after a while, there was a chamberlain carrying an arrow target to let everyone see, and they saw that a feather arrow without an arrow was forcefully penetrating the bull's-eye, revealing half an inch of the arrow target!
Seeing this, most of the concubines also gave up, but just applauded and praised the bravery of the Yun family, but Yun Fenghuang and other experts were very moved, knowing how difficult it was to do this.
No, it's not an easy question anymore.
If you don't have a lot of talent, you can't just rely on hard work.
Yun Fenghuang took a deep look at his nominal cousin, Yun Xike's fair skin was slightly red due to many praises and cheers, and he looked simple and ashamed, and he could easily get the favor of ordinary people.
But Yun Fenghuang's eyes were cold.
At such an age, with such talents, even if it is a child of a poor family, Chunjia knows it, and most of them have to be cultivated.
What's more, this is the nephew of the loyal Yiguo Gong, the son of the Yun family who is famous for his loyalty to Chunjia?
Originally, the Yun family was a big family, and if there was such an heir Jian in the emperor's heart, she would not be able to move the family of Yiguo Gong in her life, not to mention it, I am afraid that if there is a decline in the future, it will be taken advantage of, and there will be no good results!
I think that after Concubine Zhenxi went, Yun Fenghuang took over a series of benefits such as palace power, King Qin, etc., under the banner of "Sister Shufei's sister is the same as her sister's sister", how could these Yun family not count in their hearts? If they had the opportunity, how could they not rely on the gourd to draw the scoop and take over the family she had worked so hard to save after the cloud and wind fence died?
Yun Fenghuan was in a lot of crisis in his heart, but at this time, he had to force a smile and cheer with the crowd.
And Yunxike's talent is not limited to archery skills, after some humility, he also boldly presented his poems to Chunjia, Chunjia flipped through it casually, and let Yan Yin read two poems in public, and the level was not bad.
Everyone saw the preference of the Son of Heaven, and of course it was a boast that could be forced.
So this newcomer, who was still in the imperial capital not long ago, has become a praised civil and military shuangquan Qianliju.
When things come to this, everyone knows in their hearts, this should be the son-in-law of the heavenly family in the near future, regardless of whether it is Minghui or Kunze, in short, the future of Splendid has been decided.
But the Son of Heaven seemed to feel that the momentum was still not enough, and ordered Yan Yin to personally go and fetch a bow that he had used in the past, called Yunxi Ke to come forward, personally handed it to him, and told him not to slack off, to move forward bravely, and to serve the court...... After that, the children were entertained, and Yun Fenghuang had no heart to watch, so he excused himself to be a little dizzy, got up and left, and went to calm down.
She returned to the warm pavilion where she had spoken to Kunze before, asked the palace people to make a pot of tea to rinse her mouth, and was eating some melons and fruits absentmindedly, but someone from the palace came to report that the eldest princess Minghui was coming.
"Does Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess want to use this warm pavilion?" Yun Fenghuang said, "Then the palace let her be." ”
The palace people said in panic: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said that she came to talk to the noble concubine." ”
Yun Fenghuan only said that Minghui came to find trouble, her face was not very good, she was in a bad mood now, Minghui dared to provoke her, she didn't guarantee that she would do anything: "Really? Then please come in, Your Highness. ”
"You all go down." Minghui came in and ordered like this.
It's just that the people who served her went down immediately, but Qingren and the others didn't move.
It wasn't until Yun Fenghuang nodded that they curtled their knees and left.
"I know you don't like the Yun Clan." When there were only two people in the warm pavilion, Minghui said straight to the point, "This palace doesn't like it either." How about you think of a way to stir this up? ”
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "What did Your Highness say?" This palace is a daughter of the Yun family, how can she not like her brother? And what His Highness said is nothing, this palace can't understand? ”
"Is there anything you don't understand?" Ming Hui said coldly, "Your Majesty's meaning is very clear, that is, you want to lift up the Yunxi guest who was originally unknown in the imperial capital, so he used the marriage of this palace as a raft!" If you don't even have such a little look, can you get mixed up in the concubine seat? ”
"Even so, why does this think His Highness should object? The Yun clan is known to be loyal to His Majesty. Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Regardless of whether there is such a thing as His Highness descending or not, Your Majesty will reuse them." And with Yunxike's ability, it's not that the palace sells himself and boasts, and he says that he is from a big family, even if he is from a humble background, do you think His Majesty will not be promoted? To tell the truth, if His Majesty really married His Highness to that Yunxi guest, it can be seen that His Majesty is sincerely considering His Highness, and choosing the age seems to be a talented and beautiful child of a family to match His Highness, which is much better than the two highnesses Yun'an and Sui'an! ”
Minghui sneered: "So, are you willing? Don't forget that Sui'an's concubine is your cousin, and the Xie family is your real mother's family, isn't it? Otherwise, since you became favored, how many benefits have you fought for the Xie family, but when have you ever worried about the Yun family? If it weren't for the fact that the Duke of Yiguo was loyal to His Majesty, and it was the old man who supported each other when His Majesty ascended the throne, I am afraid that you would have been slandered a long time ago and gave the Yun family a good look! If the palace descends to the Yun family, in the future, who do you think Your Majesty will value first? With that in mind, you dare to say you'd like to see it go well? ”
Of course, Yun Fenghuang was not happy.
But she didn't trust Minghui even more, as she just said, although this family affair was made by Chunjia Qiangang, she didn't ask Minghui at all, and it can even be said that he did it regardless of whether Minghui wanted it or not, but it was actually for Minghui's consideration.
The most important thing about Minghui is nothing more than the fact that the first emperor is the daughter.
But the embarrassing thing is that her biological mother has lost the identity of the first emperor and the queen, and even fell into the crime of killing the first emperor without an heir.
In addition, in the dispute between the royal uncle and nephew, Minghui chose the regent with a clear banner and stood on the opposite side of Chunjia.
This kind of situation has caused ordinary people to dare not easily ask to marry her, even if they covet the status of the golden branch and jade leaf.
And if he is not loyal enough to the emperor, or Chunjia is not a person who is particularly trusted, after the lord is still the master, it is difficult not to be suspected by the emperor, will he be influenced by the eldest princess, and the regent's co-optation, so as to betray himself?
That is, the Yun family, this is a royalist who has passed the test of the situation and time.
After their children are still in charge, Chunjia can reuse them with confidence, and they don't have to worry about giving grace to Minghuifu's family, which will cause any trouble.
This is also to show the attitude of the Son of Heaven to the outside world, and he did not hold a grudge against Minghui's previous troubles and hostility, but still treated him as a sister and deliberately took care of it.
Minghui may or may not know these truths, but with the Empress Dowager here, someone will definitely explain it to her.
Just came with empty words and white teeth to encourage Yun Fenghuan to intervene sideways, who knows if he plans to sell her at that time?
