Chapter 359: Relatives are bitter, enemies are fast
"Gong Xiang Ruo is dead!" Chunjia's face was gloomy, and he looked around at the ministers, "The dignified vassal king, a few days ago, he personally gave me an excerpt to ask for peace, and now it will be gone, what are you doing in Fuyang County?!" β
The ministers saw that the emperor was really angry, and they didn't dare to say anything.
It was Ouyang Yanran who stepped forward to persuade her, and then said: "Although the King of Fuyang is respectful, I heard that he is quite a good woman in private...... Maybe it has something to do with that? β
This is, of course, a cover for the mother and son of the heavenly family.
In fact, Gongxiang Ruogong is certainly lustful, after all, he is young, even if he sings every night, as a child of the clan, his foundation is resting there, and it is not enough to say that he will die suddenly at this time.
The key is that the two queen mothers also overestimated his foundation, and they really asked people to kneel outside the mansion for a day and a night!
This incident happened like this, the two queen mothers argued, and neither of them would give in.
Even if the emperor favored the Empress Dowager Yuan in his heart, he was not so distant from his biological mother Qu that he didn't care at all.
This point was also clear to the envoy sent to Fuyang County.
The problem is that the Empress Dowager Qu put on a posture that if she dared to disobey her, she would die, even if the envoy knew that the emperor supported the Empress Dowager Yuan more, but he didn't dare to say that he would force the biological mother of the Son of Heaven to die? So I can only coax on both sides, and no one dares to offend.
After such a stalemate, the envoy was tired of running for his life, and couldn't help but use his brain, that is, to ask Gong Xiang Ruogong to come forward to play a round.
To be honest, Gongxiang Ruomian and the two queen mothers are not strangers.
After all, the relationship between these two queen mothers and the Son of Heaven is destined to doom him, a vassal king who relies on the Son of Heaven to ascend the throne, not to offend, and even have to coax the Queen Mother well.
Therefore, since the two queen mothers returned to Fuyang County, even if Gongxiang Ruoxiao did not live in a mansion with them, she never dared to be slack in the morning and dusk, and often served the two queen mothers in person. But because of this, he became one of the tools of the two queen mothers.
For example, when serving tea, give it to the Empress Dowager Yuan first, and the Empress Dowager Qu immediately has something to say; First to the Empress Dowager Qu, the Empress Dowager Yuan turned her face on the spot......
In short, it's very difficult.
Of course, Gongxiang Ruomian didn't want to take this kind of hot potato sandwiched between the two queen mothers.
Helplessly, the envoy also had a headache, in order to solve the matter as soon as possible, the fox pretended to be a tiger, and threatened Gongxiang Ruomian If he refused to help, when he returned to the imperial capital, he would definitely remind him in front of the emperor!
Due to Chunjia's operations in the past two years, the government and the opposition and even the clan relatives are very jealous, and after hearing this, although Gongxiang Ruoxiao was reluctant, he had to rack his brains to give advice to the envoy. However, in terms of intrigue, the two queen mothers are not fuel-efficient lamps. How could a young vassal king like Gongxiang Ruomi, who was raised by his mother's concubine, be an opponent? Especially hindering Chunjia, he naturally lowered the two queen mothers, so he couldn't suppress the queen mothers even more, but was reprimanded by the queen mothers in turn.
In the end, he decided to come up with a bitter plan, that is, to kneel directly outside the mansion where the two queen mothers lived and begged them to shake hands and make peace.
Thinking about it, even if the two queen mothers are sure in their hearts
I don't have much affection for him, for the sake of face, but also for the sake of his hard work these days, should it be eased?
Who knows that he underestimated the degree of grievances between the two queen mothers, the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Empress Dowager Qu did not deliberately embarrass him, but they definitely didn't care about him, and they didn't want to be the first to give in, in short, both sides of the people below were notified, but whether it was the Empress Dowager Yuan or the Empress Dowager Qu, they were counting on the other party to come out first to express their position, and they didn't know what they should do...... Gongxiang Ruogong opened the bow and did not turn back, and knelt down in front of everyone, of course, he could not regret it halfway, this vassal king was also young, and he was too afraid of Chunjia to be fooled, so he knelt hard for a day and a night, and finally fainted, and was taken back by his subordinates.
Then he fell ill when he went back, and the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Empress Dowager Qu didn't take it seriously when she heard the news, thinking it was just ordinary heat stroke or fatigue. γ...*Aiqi Literature &*Free Readingγ
Who knows, that night, the vassal king's condition took a turn for the worse, and he was declared dead without even seeing the morning light of the next day?
This time the matter is a big trouble, originally the death of the king of the distant branch was to be reported to the court, not to mention that the king of Fuyang came out of the Son of Heaven, which is particularly attention-grabbing, the current heir king, or to reconcile the two queen mothers, this ......
The officials of Fuyang County, at this time, they are only afraid of the collective hanging!
They are anxious, and Chunjia is also extremely stressed.
If the king of Fuyang is just an ordinary vassal king, and people can't be resurrected after death, after a thick burial, he will treat his heirs with courtesy, and only a distant vassal king, the emperor can still suppress it.
The point is that Gongxiang Ruogong is the biological son of King Zhou!
His biological mother, Princess Lin, although she was only a continuation, was deeply favored by King Zhou.
Princess Lin can be a biological flesh and blood!
In order to give this only child a good future, he tried every means to mediate and persuade King Zhou to stand on Chunjia, so as to win the opportunity for his son to succeed the king of Fuyang!
Originally, for this title of vassal king, it was basically impossible for Princess Lin to betray the emperor.
If she doesn't betray Chunjia, she will naturally take the initiative to help watch King Zhou and the others!
As a result, the only child is dead!!
The cause of death is also closely related to the two queen mothers!
Even if this is not what Chunjia meant, and it was not done by the emperor, but for the mother who has lost her only bloodline, can she listen to it?
Even if Chunjia doesn't attach as much importance to his heirs as the outside world thinks, he doesn't think that Princess Lin is willing to give up.
After marrying the King of Zhou, it can be said that he has done two things so far: the first is to entrap the King of Zhou; The second thing is to love the only biological flesh and blood.
Therefore, if Gongxiang Ruogong is gone, Princess Lin will inevitably anger the two queen mothers, and then complain about the Son of Heaven!
Chunjia didn't say that he was afraid of her, the point is, this was originally an ally!
became an enemy so suddenly, is it wronged?
"Your Majesty, there may not be no room for mediation in this matter." The emperor was so angry in the temple, hindering the relationship between the two queen mothers, and again
Elders, it's hard to say anything in front of everyone. He could only scold the envoy sent to Fuyang County to the point of blood, dismiss him on the spot, and rush over with the Imperial City Division to escort him back to Beijing and go to prison, and investigate thoroughly!
In short, this messenger punching bag is done.
But for King Zhou and his wife, the emperor did not express his position on the spot, only asked the ministers if there was nothing else important to tell, and then walked away!
In the end, it was Ouyang Yanran and other courtiers who chased after the imperial study to comfort, "Although Gongxiang Ruogong is gone, there are still heirs under his knees." Those children are also the bloodline of King Zhou, how can King Zhou and his wife turn a deaf ear? Even if there is the pain of losing a child, but the grandchildren are still alive, if His Majesty is one or two, presumably they will be able to thank the emperor for his grace? β
At this time, it can only be compensated from the grandchildren, Chunjia sighed and said: "Proposed decree, the prince of Fuyang is honest and pure filial piety, and serves the two queen mothers with thoughtful intentions, and unfortunately dies today, and my heart is very painful!" The eldest son of Tegarn and his grandson, Jin Feng...... Only...... Just crown the king of Guang! β
Someone next to him hurriedly wrote down Chrysostom's words, turned his head to polish the text, and asked the Son of Heaven to see it correctly, so that he officially copied it into the decree and sent it to Fuyang County.
"King Zhou's side always has to have a saying, although it is said that it has nothing to do with them after the succession, but the legal principle is nothing more than human affection, how can it be my elders......" The emperor thought for a while, and then ordered, "This side will be left to the Yue Court on its behalf." β
Deng Chengzhai received the order in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, it's not a way for the two queen queens to go on like this." At this time, Yiguo spoke openly and said slowly, "Although the death of King Fuyang this time was not the original intention of the two queen mothers, it ...... After all, there is a relationship. Now that the war in the north is not over, it is really inappropriate for the two queen mothers to be so angry. β
He has always been inferior to Ouyang Yanran and Deng Chengzhai, who can speak well and figure out their intentions, although the wording is as tactful as possible, the meaning is still very clear: There are many serious things in the imperial court, and the two queen mothers really don't know the general situation!
Ouyang Yanran and Deng Chengzhai both looked at their noses and noses, pretending not to hear, and did not dare to interject easily.
Yin Qu didn't care, he took the route of a direct minister, saying whatever he wanted to say to show his openness.
Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to drag it out?" It's just that the identities of the two queen mothers are separated there, if the prince has any good ideas, why not tell one or two? β
Yi Guogong really had some ideas, and said: "The two queen mothers are now at loggerheads, and it is difficult to convince each other. Judging from the minister, it is better to draw lots! β
ββ¦β¦ The two queen mothers are willing? When the others heard this, their eyes lit up, and when they felt in a dilemma, it was not a good idea to leave the choice to luck.
The question is, the one that didn't draw is okay, and the one that is drawn is willing to give in?
These two don't plan to reason now, right?
"If the two queen mothers agree, why bother to draw lots?" Yi Guogong asked rhetorically, "Now that this is the case, it is better to ask Your Majesty to draw lots, and then ...... Choose a queen mother and move to the palace to support. β
Several colleagues immediately fell silent again, including Yin Qu
None of them said a word.
In my heart, I feel that the prince of Yiguo is ...... This is really sincere!
The dignified queen mother, he dares to come hard?
This is polite, isn't it just to draw lots and forcibly send one away, so as to separate the two queen mothers, so that they don't continue to be moths?
If he had said this a few days ago, even if the emperor had agreed with it in his heart, he would have pretended to be on the surface.
But now......
The emperor was the most dissatisfied with the two queen mothers, and when he heard this, he didn't think much about it, so he said: "I remember that after Ming Hui returned from the north, he never received any serious envoys. In that case, leave the matter to him. β
After all, Chunjia still has the burden of a Ming monarch, paused, and said, "I'll go and ask the Empress Dowager for peace later, and maybe the Empress Dowager has any instructions." β
The implication, although it is hard, will be said to the outside world when the time comes, it is the meaning of the Queen Mother!
The Empress Dowager, as the grandmother of the Son of Heaven and the nominally noblest hostess of the main sect, crushed the two Queen Mothers in terms of identity and generation, and acted under her banner, even if the inside information was leaked, there was nothing to say about the Son of Heaven outside.
