Chapter 117: One Wrong Step, One Wrong Step.
Yun Fenghuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "What did the queen mother say?" You're just a little sick, and you'll be raising it for a few days, so where is that? Besides, not to mention the Eighth Prince and the Ten Princes, the Third Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Chu were all brought up by you, you are saying such frustrating words at this time, in case there is really a good one, can you rest assured of them? ”
"Of course, this palace is not at ease, but you should also know that this palace's worries are not groundless." Gu Zhen lay on the couch, looked at her quietly, and said in a low voice, "If this palace can do it, of course this palace is willing to personally protect them as they grow up...... But the matter has come to this, this palace can't help but consider, if this palace also follows in the footsteps of the former queen, what should a few children under the knees be? ”
"Niangniang is cautious." Yun Fenghuan said lightly, "The former queen invited herself out of the palace to pray for the country because she failed to notice that the queen concubine and the heir were killed by traitors. Later, he died of illness and accident. ”
Gu Zhen snorted and said: "What the hell is going on, you and I both know it in our hearts, and now there are no outsiders, so why pretend?" This palace only asks you, do you want to sit in the seat of this palace after going to this palace? ”
"The concubine is from a humble background, how dare she have such an idea?" Yun Fenghuan smiled and said softly, "Don't think about it, Niangniang, you are the middle palace set up by His Majesty himself, and there are two sisters-in-law under your knees, no matter what happens, what does it have to do with you?" If you think too much like this, you will cause trouble for Your Majesty. ”
Do you want to sit in the queen's seat?
I thought so much.
But Yun Fenghuang knew very well in his heart that this was not something that Gu Zhen could call the shots at all.
Although she didn't know why Gu Zhen asked this, Yun Fenghuang didn't think she had such a bargaining chip.
"Then the palace is another word, do you want to set the Northern Army?" Seeing that she seemed to have the intention of turning away, Gu Zhen squinted slightly, and suddenly raised his voice, "The Dingbei Army was originally not owned by the Gu family, and it doesn't look like it can be saved now...... To whom is not to give, you don't want to either? ”
"Niangniang, you are too elevated as a concubine." Yun Fenghuang suddenly stood on his feet, looked at her sideways, his eyes were very strange, and he said after a while, "If the concubine has relatives who can take over the Dingbei Army, why is it that she has been talked about so far from being from a humble background?" ”
Gu Zhen smiled lightly, and his pale face became more and more cold: "You don't have such a relative, but you can sell such a favor, right?" Anyway, for my Gu family, whoever is in charge of the Dingbei Army next will not be my Gu family's disciples. Even I, the Gu family, can't have anything to do with the new commander of the Dingbei Army...... So why not take the opportunity to make a deal with you? ”
Yun Fenghuang said softly: "Talking about such a groundless thing, does the mother actually trust the concubine?" ”
"I just think that although you are arrogant, you are also very proud." Gu Zhen said lightly, "It's not that kind of petty family, and he will regret it for such a request: this palace only hopes that if something happens to the Gu family, this palace is gone, and you can look at the King of Chu, the three princes and the ten princes, oh, and the Ping family." I don't want to let them have a carefree way, so that they can survive in this palace. This is not difficult for you, and besides, the third prince is very sensible, when he and the ten princes grow up, it will be a little help, as for the king of Chu, he is ignorant and innocent, although he may not be able to do anything for you, but it may not bring you too much trouble. ”
"If you raise him, how much can you get some good names, right?"
"It's as if Lingtang treated your sister as his own to cover up his arrogance in seizing the power of his eldest sister-in-law."
Gu Zhen looked at her, "How?" Would you like to? ”
Yun Fenghuan's heart was pounding.
Indeed, if the Gu family falls, Queen Gu herself will not be able to protect herself, and the few children she left behind, as long as the queen is not crazy and asks her to help them compete for the storage position, she will definitely take care of it.
You don't need to find a reason, just a sentence "The concubine herself is not blessed to continue the heir to His Majesty, so I can't see the emperor's heir suffering", you can almost settle Chunjia.
Chunjia nodded, and the rest of the matter was easy.
And this is still a promise, according to the meaning revealed in the queen's words, it is Gu who first shows her sincerity, and then she agrees to this matter.
In this way, if the Gu family fails to do what she promised her, she can ignore the three princes and them.
It's no wonder that the queen insisted on proposing it after being rejected, and Yun Fenghuan, who was indeed rich in conditions, couldn't refuse.
But......
She looked at the queen on the sickbed, and after a few thoughts, she said slowly: "Does Niangniang not trust Your Majesty like this? ”
"You think Hongu is cheating on you?" Gu Zhen said lightly, "Take a break, even if this palace has that heart, and there is no basis for talking about it, when it comes to Your Majesty, I don't know who falsely accused whom?" Your Majesty's trust in you is far greater than this palace, don't you know in your heart? ”
"The Gu family may have had, but it may not follow in the footsteps of the Ji family." Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "As for the queen mother, if there is nothing wrong, the concubine thinks that it can be said to be as stable as a mountain." Why should I be in a hurry to take care of my orphans at this time? The child you care about, you raise it yourself, isn't it? ”
Gu Zhen said, "When, do you still want to help Your Majesty speak?" Could it be that this palace has mistaken you, you are really so concerned about Your Majesty that you don't even want the benefits of sending it to the door? ”
She didn't think that Concubine Min was such a person.
Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Niangniang, do you know why you came to sit in this back seat after the former queen went?" ”
Without waiting for Gu Zhen to speak, she immediately said, "Do you think it's just because of the Dingbei Army?" After all, it's because Your Majesty doesn't love you so much! ”
Seeing Gu Zhen frowning slightly, Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "The three illustrious dynasties of the Ji family, Xiaozong and Your Majesty, have all suffered enough in their hands, how can they not have a long memory at all?" Therefore, as long as His Majesty can call the shots, His Majesty will never allow the appearance of relatives similar to the Ji family in the dynasty. Even if he is a loyal minister like the Duke of Yiguo, His Majesty will not trust him. After all, when Ji was in front of His Majesty Shenzong, why wasn't it a Dan heart, which made Shenzong convinced that he did not forget to entrust the Empress Dowager and the first emperor Xiaozong when he died? ”
"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts!"
"Moreover, people's hearts are fickle."
"The former queen was married when His Majesty couldn't be the master of the house, and when His Majesty himself can have the final say, do you think that he, who has learned the lessons of the Ji family, will pick a concubine like this, and he likes and values his mother's family?"
Speaking of this, Yun Fenghuan's heart ached faintly.
It's really a wrong step.
Because when he was young and ignorant, he repeatedly talked about the past of his relatives Jiulu in front of the emperor, and later in order to clear up his involvement, he had to emphasize the importance of the family, in order to make Chunjia have enough sympathy for his inability to have children, and he did not hesitate to bring his nieces into the palace to raise them, in order to show regret on the fate of the children...... As a result, the current predicament has been created: from the Empress Dowager to Chunjia, they all firmly believe that Concubine Min is a master who elbows her mother's house.
Then she was still young, and she was deeply satisfied, and she raised four royal heirs including the eldest son and eldest daughter under her knees!
In this case, if he enters the main palace, saying that the Xie family is not the next Ji family, Yun Fenghuang himself does not believe it.
Even if Chunjia thinks that he is eloquent and strategic, and he can suppress it when he is in power, and guarantees that the old things will not be repeated, then unless Yun Fenghuang dies in front of him, otherwise, when Yun Fenghuang becomes the queen mother, she and even Chunjia are often helpless, and her heirs can suppress it?
It's no wonder that she doesn't suppress her heirs in turn.
With such a queen mother's regent, the status of the Xie family can be imagined!
This proper Ji is coming again!
Sadly, when Yun Fenghuang realized this, it was already difficult to return.
The mother's family should have called over, and at this time, let them be sent away, and the emperor would not believe that she actually didn't value her mother's family so much.
will only feel that the concubine is scheming, and plans to use this method to win his trust, and wait for him to die and then work hard to benefit his mother's family.
And the possibility that Yun Fenghuang died before Chunjia...... She was almost ten years younger than the emperor.
The emperor is diligent in government, seeing that there are all kinds of opportunities, she is a favorite, even the queen mother and the queen don't dare to provoke, even if there are several imperial heirs under her knees, but most of them are served by the palace people, and she is only a little care, and she really lives a moist and leisurely, no matter how you look at it, Chunjia can't live her......
In short, Yun Fenghuang learned from the pain, thinking that after taking the wrong step at the beginning, he could only go one way to the dark.
is simply openly supporting her mother's family, contacting the ministers, and forcing the emperor to make her the queen!
Otherwise, unless Chunjia is confused, it is absolutely impossible to put the phoenix seal in her hands.
Although she actually has a powerful position in the harem, she is not under the queen.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuan said lightly, "Don't doubt the queen mother, you are the most suitable middle palace in Your Majesty's mind, Your Majesty is not very affectionate towards you, so there is no need to compromise for your sadness and coquettishness." Be able to deal with you and your offspring calmly and calmly. Even if you don't have the support of your mother's family, this is a good thing in the eyes of Your Majesty...... So why should the mother lie here without thinking about it? If you really have three long and two short, Your Majesty will have a headache, and you may have to re-select the middle palace and re-choose your son-in-law, which is another toss! ”
Seeing that Gu Zhen was stunned when she heard this, she smiled slightly, "If Niangniang doesn't believe it, why don't you take advantage of Wei Changkong's entry into the palace today, personally send someone to Taichu Palace, and invite Your Majesty to come over and talk?" If Your Majesty really intends to exterminate the Gu family, if you are willing to ignore you at this time and not say anything, you will definitely not care about the education of the heirs under your knees, right? ”
Gu Zhen was in a complicated mood, his lips moved, and he whispered, "You...... When did you come up with this? ”
"Earlier." Yun Fenghuang said casually, "I don't remember the specifics." ”
Gu Zhen didn't know what to say for a while, there was no concubine in the Sixth Palace who didn't envy Yun Fenghuan, in fact, Gu Zhen, the queen, was also very envious of her in her heart.
Since the empress, one of the biggest nightmares that has plagued Gu Zhen is that Chunjia will not need the Gu family one day, and she will be cold, and instead, the eight achievements are like Yunfeng Huang, Chunjia's real heart.
But this sharp-hearted person told him that because of the emperor's caution and vigilance, she would never be able to be the queen.
But she, the queen who feels unfavored and always has a bad life, will be in the back position because of this?
This......
Gu Zhen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "This palace was entered by His Majesty when he got married, before entering the palace, this palace lived in Yanzhou with his father for many years, and he returned in a hurry when he was hired by Yizhi, so there is no acquaintance in this palace among the nobles of the imperial capital." After entering the palace, he stumbled, but he stumbled by mistake and talked very much with Concubine Zhenxi. ”
Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "Concubine Zhenxi is gentle and amiable, and she naturally talks with Niangniang." ”
"Concubine Jung-hee is not like that in private." Gu Zhen knew that she was quite teasing when she said this, frowned, and then said, "Like this palace, she is not very reluctant to enter the palace, but for the sake of her father and brother, for the sake of the family, she has to come in." Her real sex is quite cold and she doesn't care much about anything. At first, Hongu thought that His Majesty had made her sad, after all...... Concubine An at that time was even more excessive than when you just entered the palace. You're at least looking for trouble to climb up, as long as it's not in your way, it's fine. ”
Seeing that Yun Fenghuang showed a ridiculous look, but the queen didn't smile, she said very plainly, "If I meet you like this when I first enter the palace, I will hate you to death." But counting it, you didn't pit this palace, but this palace still thinks of you when it is in trouble, and always has a trace of fantasy about you...... It's because, before you, there was such a contrast as Concubine An. ”
When it came to Yuan Neem, Gu Zhen was not in a good mood so far, and his face was gloomy for a while, before he continued, "Compared to your ambition, Concubine An is purely a mad dog!" Relying on the protection of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, catch whoever bites, and see who steps on whom! She always felt wronged, felt sad, and felt bullied! But I don't want to think about it, are these people in this palace willing to enter the palace to compete with her and rob her?! In this palace, including the former queen, who is not forced to do so?! She has the favor of her aunt and His Majesty, and she is much stronger than these people in this palace, I don't know how much stronger!! ”
"But she's still not satisfied!!"
"So when I think about it now, I'm even a little grateful to you."
"If you hadn't taken away her favor, these people in this palace wouldn't know how long they would have to endure her!"
Thinking that if it was not Concubine Min but Concubine An who was favored now, the queen frowned.
Min Guifei's methods are much more aggressive than Concubine An, and the threat is much higher than Concubine An, but at least Min Guifei has a clear purpose, can communicate and admit defeat, and even hug her thighs.
Ke'an Concubine......
She is simply tearing up all the harem members.
Yes, she can't do it, the city government is not enough, and she has been jumping up and down for so long, in fact, the things she has done are very limited, but ...... It was precisely because she did not do something intolerable that even the Ji family turned a blind eye under the efforts of Empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia.
So in those years, the concubines were terrified when they saw the sky, and they were afraid that she would find trouble.
Because except for the former queen and Kang Jieyu, the Ji sisters, Concubine An, who didn't dare to tease, others, Concubine An anyway, "If the palace can't kill you, you will be annoyed to death".
Gu Zhen sighed, didn't say anything about Concubine An, only said, "At that time, the palace was young and couldn't hide things, and I said it several times in front of Concubine Zhenxi, so she just thought of a way to kill Concubine An." It's a big deal to frame the accusation on the former queen's side, and in the situation at that time, some people will definitely believe it. In this way, without the stumbling block of Concubine An, I believe that His Majesty will definitely favor her. Because at that time, her favor was only under Concubine An. ”
But Concubine Jung-hee just laughed and said that the palace was childish...... Bengong is very unconvinced, she is only the same age as Bengong, and she entered the palace at about the same time, how can she say this about Bengong? ”
Xu is relationship between them is indeed good, although Gu Zhen is unhappy, he didn't fall out with Yun Shuangyu in the end, but he still got along like this.
There must have been a lot of things together in the middle, so Gu Zhen still spoke with nostalgia when he mentioned this concubine Zhenxi Shu, who was estimated to have been completely forgotten by Chunjia, a few years after Yun Shuang left.
However, Gu Zhen didn't mean to elaborate on Yun Fenghuang, but only said slowly, "Later, when you entered the palace and became favored, the palace was both surprised and angry, and felt that His Majesty didn't like Concubine An for granted, but how could you let the so-called Yun family girl who was not in harmony with Concubine Zhenxi come out?!" Concubine Zhenxi Shufei heard Bengong say this, but she just smiled faintly, telling Bengong not to be angry, because this is all due righteousness. ”
She paused, "Why is it due, this palace has repeatedly asked, but Concubine Zhenxi Shushu has always kept silent. ”
"Later, she was gone, and there are legends everywhere in the palace that you did it."
"Hongu was also angry at first, but he was a little suspicious in his heart, because you won too easily...... Jung-hee Sook Concubine...... Sister Frosty She ...... As the beloved daughter of the prince of Yiguo, she has been in the palace for many years and is ranked as a concubine, but what about you? You were only in the palace for a few days, and you could force her to death, which is too much to look up to you!! ”
The queen said in a low voice, "This matter has been thinking about this in this palace, but it is just ...... Because Your Majesty has closed the case, and because you are favored, you have not been able to investigate thoroughly. ”
"Today...... You may tell this palace that Sister Shuangyu is obviously gentle and virtuous to Your Majesty, tolerant of Concubine An in every way, and her father's family is loyal to Your Majesty, but she has never been very favored by Your Majesty, and in the end she died in vain...... Doesn't it have a lot to do with what you just said? ”
