Chapter 437: The Battle of the Great Clan (Part II)
The controversy of the previous dynasty reached Yun Fenghuang, and the concubine frowned slightly.
Chen Jing said in a low voice, "Lord Yin's meaning, is that Niangniang doesn't have to make a public statement on this matter for the time being, and waits for the temple to tear up for a while, so that those who were originally silent will stand up and make plans."
The wang clan is the wang clan.
Yun Fenghuang nodded, sighed in his heart, but was a little wary of the Yin family in his heart.
She understood Yin Qu's intentions, and since she had decided to support Xuanqing Palace to seek the position of prince, then some things were about to start now.
For example, make it clear that you are friend or foe.
This time the position of the Great Clan's is a good opportunity.
Clear-eyed people know that the benefits of the Xie family's daughter becoming the Da Yan clan to the Xuanqing Palace.
Therefore, those who stand on the Gu family's standpoint, or in other words, want to support the prince as the prince, will inevitably oppose it.
Although there are still a few years before the princes grow up and officially kick off the prelude to the battle for the prince, the current enemy may not be the situation at that time, but we can also get a glimpse of the approximate number, estimate the number and volume of the opponents, and make targeted strategic arrangements.
It's not that she didn't expect these Yun Fenghuan, it's just that as a palace concubine, she doesn't have a reliable helper for important ministers outside, so her movement is naturally inconvenient.
Now that Yin Qu's attitude is clear, he immediately starts to arrange, which makes Yun Fenghuan satisfied, but also can't help but be vigilant, worried that he will be overwhelmed by the other party in the future, then, King Jin will inevitably follow the path of Chunjia's early years and become a puppet with the name of the Son of Heaven.
"Hongu understands." She settled down and ordered, "You tell Lord Yin that this palace will cooperate with him." ”
With the promise of the concubine, Yin Qu began to turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain in the previous dynasty, and he vividly showed the wrist that a head of a wang family should have.
After the allies on the Gu side's side opposed the Xie family's daughter as the Great Yan clan with human righteousness, Yin Qu did not immediately counterattack, but asked the other party to recommend a candidate.
The descendants didn't expect that the concubine would have the idea of playing the position of the Da Yan clan, after all, there was no news about this before, and at the earliest, everyone thought that it was probably to follow the previous dynasty, and the princess was crowned with the daughter of the sect, and Wei Su was descended. Or, choose a beautiful palace maid, add a princess, and give it to Wei Su Dakhan as his wife.
But where did he want to get the three nieces and nephews raised by the concubine
In this case, they could only hastily put forward the proposal of the palace maid.
Then he was refuted by Yin Qu's side, the reasons include but are not limited to, the palace maid is from a humble background, and often does not know a word, how much can she know about the righteousness of the family and the country, who can guarantee that after she goes to Wei Su to become a noble Da Yan clan, will she forget her righteousness, cross the river and tear down the bridge, forget the grace of the dynasty, and think about everything from Wei Su's position Even if she leaves her family as a hostage, but to put it mildly, the woman who married out of the door in this year splashed the water outside the door, and people chose to marry her husband when the time came, according to the secular concept of the Central Plains, It's wrong to even bring it all.
Moreover, even if you still care about your family at first, once you give birth to an heir, the heir is also a blood relative
The most important thing is that just a palace maid, a slave and a maid, when the time comes, she can't support the aura and pattern that the Da Yan clan should have, so I don't have to make Wei Su look down on the central country, and I think that the princess who is canonized by the dynasty is like that. When the time comes, the loss of face of the Da Yan clan will be small, so that Wei Su will be contemptuous of Middle Earth, but will have ambitions that he shouldn't have, and the fun will be great.
All in all, Gu's suggestion is simply ridiculous
Gu then retreated, saying that if the palace maid was inappropriate, he could be sealed with a courtier.
This is also an example in the past, but Yin Qu vetoed it again, and even suspected that the Gu family's so-called idea of using a courtier as a princess as the Wei Su clan was
It is to make the Gu family daughter the big one
Yin Qu even personally went out to make a statement to the emperor, saying that this must not be done.
Because Zhao Wubo Gu Fangshu has been stationed in northern Xinjiang for many years, he has the opportunity to secretly communicate with Wei Su, in this case, with Gu's daughter as the eldest clan, doesn't this give the Gu family an opportunity to be ambitious
Of course, Gu was furious, refused to admit such an accusation, and suspected that Yin Qu deliberately framed him, and pointed out that the sudden defeat of Wei Su this time was evidence of Gu's innocence
Otherwise, if the Gu family really colluded with Wei Su as Yin Qu said, Wei Su would cool down so quickly
Yin Qu just sneered, "Don't forget that it was Jingning Hou who led the troops this time, not Zhao Wubo."
It seems that pacifying Wei Su is the credit of your Gu family.
He also took the opportunity to tell Chunjia that when the Gu family said this, it can be seen that the Dingbei Army has been regarded as private property, so the battle won by the Dingbei Army is also recorded as his own credit, not the hard work of Jingning Hou.
Anyway, it was a mess on this day, and there was no result in the end.
Later, it was not too early, the monarchs and ministers were hungry, and Chunjia came out to play a round, and the matter came to an end for the time being.
After everyone dispersed, they couldn't wait to find out what was going on
"What else could it be, I thought it would be eventful to drag on for another two years." Ouyang Yanran, as an old minister and an important minister, is naturally a popular candidate to inquire about the news.
He sighed helplessly and said, "But some people can't wait, and they are about to start stirring up the storm at this time, so they will call the old man sick." ”
"But father, if you don't go to court, in case the concubine really elects her niece to the Wei Su clan, this" The children of the Ouyang family were all shocked, and their eldest son couldn't help but worry, "The concubine has a lot of grievances with my family, if she gains power, it will not be a good thing for the Ouyang family."
"Your Majesty doesn't want to see the old man meddle in the dispute between the princes." Ouyang Yanran looked at him and sighed, "The princes are still young, and the situation is not clear now. The most important thing is that His Majesty is still in the prime of life, and at this time, he will support the prince, so how does Your Majesty think that Yin Qu dares to do this, it is nothing more than a concubine behind him. The concubine is deeply favored, and His Majesty is very tolerant of her. Even if you are unhappy, you don't care so much if you are coaxed by the concubine. It's just that the blessings are no longer there, even if they are, where is there such a dignity as a concubine"
Seeing that his descendants were a little worried, he shook his head and said, "After all, my family is a famous family, but I don't have to worry so much because of the grievances with the concubine." To put it mildly, the mustard between my family and the concubine, how can the concubine ever suffer a loss, since this is the case, after two years, after the old man retires, you will be the presiding family again, and then try to make friends with him. ”
Hearing this, the descendants were all shocked, and hurriedly advised him to calm down.
After all, although there are not a few officials in the Ouyang family now, and there are also those who are ranked in the temple, there is no second person like Ouyang Yanran who can become a pivotal minister.
If Ouyang Yanran retired, there would be no children in the family who could take over his status and power for the time being, so the weight of the Ouyang family would not decline
"It's not a matter of the old man saying that if he doesn't return, he won't return." Ouyang Yanran shook his head and said slowly, "You also know the reason why the Son of Heaven reinstated the old man in the first place, but in fact, it was mainly to target the Ji family and others. Now the internal and external troubles have been calmed down. Even if the old man doesn't go to the stack, will His Majesty agree that he is not the kind of mediocre king. He is bound to show his strength, and this time will not be too late All in all, after two years, the old man does not want to retreat, and His Majesty must have signaled. ”
As far as Chunjia's temperament is concerned, if he is interested in it at that time, he should still have some grace to the Ouyang family, which can be regarded as a reward for him
years of assistance; If he doesn't know how to read it
Then it can't be said that the emperor will send the Ouyang family a ride just like sending the Ji family and the Yuan family.
What else can Ouyang Yanran choose
"Father, even if Your Majesty is ambitious and wants to rejuvenate the country, but my father is not a pillar of the country" The Ouyang family couldn't help but say, "But why let my father retreat"
"Have you forgotten the lessons of the Ji family" Ouyang Yanran sighed lightly, "The reason why the Ji family was able to tilt the power of the government and the opposition back then, and even the filial piety sect was powerless to resist, in the final analysis, because they controlled the government for many years when they were in the Divine Sect, and throughout history, they were able to be kings, even if they were brilliant and talented courtiers, they would not let them stay in a high position for too long, lest they form a party for personal gain and endanger the imperial power."
"Although the Son of Heaven is young, he has always been calm and wise, how can he not understand this truth"
"The old man was elected by the Son of Heaven in order to sweep away dissidents, and now looking at the sea, there is no one or anything that can threaten the Son of Heaven, if he doesn't retreat, this is not a disaster."
He shook his head and said, "Originally, I wanted to rely on the love of these two years, stay up for three or two years, and wait for the Royal Highnesses of King Qin to discuss before retreating." But Yin Qu started in advance, but it was not good not to leave. Otherwise, the Ouyang clan will be involved, and there will be endless troubles."
His children and grandchildren were a little frightened, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did my father say such a thing, isn't my father optimistic that Empress Min Guifei is so favored that she can teach the Son of Heaven to rely on her even for such a big thing as the prince?"
"Concubine Min is just a woman, what can she do," Ouyang Yanran said, "The key is that the attitude of the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven so far is that there is a successor." The problem is that none of the Yuan successors have come out. Today's three princes are actually from the palace concubines, but they are just recorded in the names of the successors. This position is lacking compared to the real sister-in-law. And there is also a flaw, that is, if the Son of Heaven takes a fancy to the concubine in the future, it is a big deal to pass it on to the queen, and giving him the identity of a concubine means that the Son of Heaven has no favor for the queen, and what can make him protect the position of the queen is nothing more than that the Son of Heaven takes the Gongxiang clan very seriously and does not want to make trouble. ”
"But that was once upon a time."
"At that time, if the Son of Heaven did not appoint the daughter of a great family and did not approve of having a successor, it would inevitably attract a lot of opposition."
"If Emperor Zi's throne is stable today, it will become more and more stable in the future, and it is even conceivable that it will soon be like the first emperor of Shenzong back then, with Tianxian in his mouth and Yuji Yunei"
"At that time, the candidate for the prince will only be in his thoughts."
"You say, in the current situation, who can guess the master who can finally be recognized by the Son of Heaven"
There were still some words that Ouyang Yanran didn't say.
That is, like Yun Fenglian, he understands that Chunjia has always liked only one kind of person, whether it is a concubine or a courtier, he likes to be smart.
It's better to be both talented and good-looking.
Now there are many princes in the palace, but because of their age, they really can't see who is the best and most appreciated by the emperor.
Betting on such a big thing in advance is no different from looking for death, Ouyang Yanran thought about it, his family had already suffered a loss earlier because of his standing in Xiaozong, and he could not be hit by another failure to stand in line.
In that case, the Ouyang clan, which has only recovered a little bit of vitality, may fall out of the ranks of the top families.
In this way, he can only retreat bravely in the rapids to preserve his vitality.
The next day, everyone was still waiting to continue to discuss the matter of the Da Yan clan, but the news that Ouyang Yanran said that she was sick and asked Zhi Shi to return to her hometown suddenly popped up, and forcibly snatched everyone's attention to the Da Yan clan's candidate.
