What is the purpose of Empress Dowager Yuan?

Or rather, what is the weakness of the Empress Dowager Yuan?

This is what Yun Fenghuang wants to master the most after he senses the killing intent of this queen mother.

Because of the special relationship between Empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia, it is impossible for her to treat the Empress Dowager like she treated the Empress Dowager before.

Not to mention that the emperor helped him to come out and make a black hand, even to scold the queen mother head-on, he had to carefully select the situation that the emperor was not there and the queen mother was not very easy to sue afterwards.

is so constrained, seeing the move is obviously the next step.

After all, the Queen Mother has the dual advantage of friendship and seniority with the emperor, and she can find fault anytime and anywhere, even if she fails to find fault, she is still high in the Queen Mother, respected and filial by the emperor.

What about her?

The deterrence in the palace and the evaluation in the previous dynasty are all supported by the identity of the popular favorite concubine and the deeds of the arrogant six palaces.

If she is repeatedly criticized and suppressed by Empress Dowager Yuan, even if Chunjia still spoils her, the prestige that she has spent nearly two years building up will inevitably be hit.

After all, she used to be: "The virtuous concubine is ranked as the fourth concubine, and she has the eldest son and eldest daughter of the emperor under her knees, and she is deeply favored by His Majesty. It never ends well! It's to let everyone's tricks shine a little, and if you offend anyone, don't offend Xuanqing Palace! ”

If she is successfully crushed by the Empress Dowager Yuan, that is: "Although the virtuous concubine Niangniang is ranked as the fourth concubine, the eldest son of the emperor and the eldest daughter of the emperor under her knees, and she is also quite favored in front of His Majesty, but in the eyes of the Empress Dowager of Love, she will not be on the stage!" The Empress Dowager is Her Majesty's former mother-in-law, and she is even closer than her biological mother! How could a person as pure and filial piety as His Majesty disobey the Empress Dowager? ”

"So, don't look at Your Majesty, you still often go to the Huanhua Palace at this time, with the attitude of the Queen Mother, the fall from grace in the Xuanqing Palace is a matter of time!"

Here is the importance of family background again, if she is a famous and noble girl, then even if she is considered by the people below to fall out of favor sooner or later, she can still rely on her family background to be a concubine who keeps her family.

should be widowed in advance and accompany the two children to live honestly.

But she's not.

She came out of a humble family, especially the ranking of a pair of children under her knees, and she was so special, once she was considered weak, she was afraid that there would be endless guns and arrows!

Maybe she can handle it, but the effort and energy to pay for it can be imagined!

So Yun Fenghuang didn't plan to play the game of your move and my dismantling with Empress Dowager Yuan from the beginning, she was thinking about it early on, Empress Dowager Yuan, what are your weaknesses?

Throughout the life of the queen mother, the most profound entanglements are none other than the concubine of Fuyang Wangzhuang, the Duanwang of Fuyang, and the Yuan family of Xingning Bofu, as well as Chunjia and Yuan Neem.

Among them, Fuyang Wang Zhuang Concubine and Fuyang Duanwang have both passed away, and no matter how deep the grievances are, it will not help.

So, can you make a fuss...... Naturally, it can only be the queen mother's maiden family, and the two people she raised.

"You seem to know the mourning family very well?" On the phoenix seat, Empress Dowager Yuan spoke in a low voice after a long silence.

Her question was very plain and without the slightest emotion.

It's like the wrath of just now

Sadness and sadness are all put away in an instant.

"When the concubine was at home, she listened to Professor Xixi's homework and tasted 'the way of heaven, and the loss was more than enough to make up for the deficiency; Humanity is not, the damage is insufficient, and the service is more than enough.'" Yun Fenghuang knelt for a long time, she was really tired, but the Queen Mother still didn't scream, she simply stood up by herself, staggered to the seat next to her and sat down, and didn't bother to look at the face of the Queen Mother Yuan at the moment.

Lowering her head, she kneading her knees and saying, "The concubine watched the Empress Dowager act and felt that the Empress Dowager had a heavenly atmosphere. ”

"Huh!" Empress Dowager Yuan leaned back disdainfully, and said lightly, "Heavenly Dao? Heaven is selfless, and in the heart of the mourning family, there is a lot of selfishness! ”

Yun Fenghuang said: "Everyone has selfish intentions, just an analogy." The concubine has been in the palace for a short time, and I haven't seen you before. But I also heard that His Majesty has a shallow fate with his grandmother Concubine Fuyangzhuang, and he was crowned as a concubine and was able to inherit the prince of Fuyang, all of which are handled by you. ”

"At the beginning, Emperor Xiaozong died and had no children under his knees. The Ji family did not want to establish a regent lineage, and insisted on being the heir of the first emperor of Xiaozong from the distant branch, and the reason why he chose His Majesty was inseparable from His Majesty's gentle and pure style...... When the concubine first heard this, she felt that you were really clever, and you were so good at taking care of proportion. ”

"Only then can His Majesty maintain a good reputation, but also make the Ji family feel that it is easy to control."

"Even His Majesty's good reputation has been maintained until now."

Empress Dowager Yuan said expressionlessly: "This is because the emperor is sensible and his words and deeds are gentle and pure." ”

"That's also the Queen Mother's teaching." Yun Fenghuang chuckled, "Oh, also, the concubine doesn't know what your plans are to raise Yuan Neem Niang at the earliest. However, you let Yuan Neem and His Majesty's childhood sweetheart, but instead of teaching her to be a virtuous and virtuous woman, you connived at her pampering and domineering, and let Your Majesty be wronged and accommodate her...... The concubine thought this was really a stroke of genius! ”

"In the eyes of ordinary people, the king of Fuyang at that time was really worthy of the people. Praise it? ”

"Young and promising, noble status, widowed mother and raised filial son, deep love for Qingmei in the backyard, even if Qingmei's identity is not as good as his own, his temperament is not good, he is still patient and infinite......"

She sighed lazily, "But for a monarch, it's a little too childlike and indecisive. ”

Ji's favorite is this kind of emperor with weakness in his character.

Good control, not decisive enough at critical moments, can give them enough time to react...... For a long time, even after Chunjia became pro-government, many people in the Ji family also thought so.

These queen mothers and Yun Fenghuang all know each other, Yun Fenghuang will not say anything at this time, just say a few words, and get back to business, "The concubine was not in a good mood when she entered the palace, and she didn't care much about how long she could live, so she was not very respectful to you." Later, the mother of the family came from afar, and several long conversations dispelled the concubine's will to die, so the concubine went to confess her mistake to you. ”

"Because whether it is the concubine herself or the concubine's mother, they all feel that the most unoffended person in this palace is you."

At this point, she changed her words, "

It's just...... After the concubine trembled at you for a while, she found that you seemed to be different from the rumors? ”

Empress Dowager Yuan said lightly: "Because of Neem? ”

"And the Yuan family." Yun Fenghuang said, "Your attitude makes the concubine very strange, if you want to say that you don't care about the Yuan family and Yuan Neem Niang, on the one hand, you help the Yuan family send their daughters into the palace one by one, and on the other hand, you try your best to pull Yuan Neem Niang into the frame." But you have to say you care about them...... The Yuan family was awarded the title of Xingning Earl because it was the uncle of the Son of Heaven, and then due to the exclusion of the Ji family, he never served as an important messenger, and the last dynasty only followed the Yiguo Gong to second. ”

"The concubine heard that the Yuan family has not produced any particularly outstanding characters in these two generations."

"But that's not the root cause."

"There are only a few people in this world who are extremely talented, and most of them are still mediocre. But mediocrity doesn't necessarily mean they won't be useful, will they? If ordinary women may not understand, since the Queen Mother can accompany His Majesty through ups and downs, and accompany His Majesty to endure under the eyes of the Ji family for eight years, don't you know what they should do for the good of the Yuan family? ”

"Don't you know that Yuan Neem's sex. Son, even if she doesn't have a concubine, sooner or later she will be abandoned by Your Majesty? ”

"The concubine has been unable to figure out what you are thinking?"

"Have you also speculated that the Yuan family has done something sorry for you and Your Majesty in private, so that you have a mixture of love and hatred in your heart, and you can't bear it for a while, so you will promote and favor them? When I think of the past for a while, I feel cold and let them fend for themselves? ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal, and sighed: "So, you have figured it out now?" ”

Yun Feng pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course." ”

She raised her chin in the direction of Qingci Palace, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank the Empress Dowager and the concubine Ji Sheng." If it weren't for the two of them returning to the palace at the beginning of the year, the concubine would have been thinking about your thoughts until now. Before these two returned to the palace, you were preparing to suppress the concubines, didn't you? But as soon as they came back, you immediately changed your attitude, and even took the initiative to find a concubine and turn into a jade silk! ”

"At that moment, the concubine suddenly realized."

"You're a strong man who helps the weak. Son, just like the way of heaven: the most distressed person for you must be Your Majesty. When Your Majesty's position is unstable, or when he is in danger, other people's other affairs, including your own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, are not of concern. For the sake of Your Majesty, whether you personally put down your body, sacrifice your mother's family or sacrifice your niece, you don't hesitate - but! ”

"Once Your Majesty's position is stable, and even in a privileged situation, you will begin to take care of the Yuan family and Yuan Neem Niang."

"Even in this process, if Your Majesty is wronged, you will subconsciously ignore it."

"Now that the Ji clan has fallen, Your Majesty is thriving, and the dictatorship of the Imperial Universe is just around the corner, can your mind be transferred from Your Majesty to your blood?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled, "So the concubine will give you a chance to let Yuan Neem Niang and the Yuan family regain His Majesty's favor and preferential treatment." At least the field

The grace and preferential treatment on the face are enough for them to seize this opportunity to revive their family's reputation...... If you can't catch them this time, it means that you don't feel sorry for them enough, or their blessings are doomed to not get up. ”

"Now that you have taken the advantage, shouldn't you also raise your hand to the concubine?"

Empress Dowager Yuan looked at her for a while before she said, "If the mourning family doesn't raise their hands, do you plan to use the Yuan family and the neem family to blackmail the mourning family?" It's like you just asked the emperor to come over with Neem Niang and put Neem Niang in a dilemma? ”

"How so?" Yun Fenghuang said softly, "You are Your Majesty's most respected Mother Empress Dowager, and the concubine's calculations, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be able to hide it, let alone you?" If you really think about the Yuan family and Yuan Neem Niang wholeheartedly, the concubine can set up a situation for His Majesty to take the initiative to show favor to the Yuan family, can't you? ”

"It's just that you cherish Your Majesty and don't want to play such tricks with Your Majesty."

"The concubine is loved by His Majesty, and she can't repay it, so how can she really be disrespectful to you?"

"To put it more realistically, the concubine is not blessed to give birth to children to His Majesty, and I still expect the eldest prince and Zhaoqing to be filial to the concubine in the future. This has given them a bad start, aren't you afraid that he will come to the newspaper every day? ”

"If you don't agree, the concubine can only consider herself unlucky."

"But the concubine doesn't think you will refuse, after all, you also feel sorry for Your Majesty...... You also saw His Majesty's attitude just now, do you really want to let him continue to be so embarrassed? ”

Empress Dowager Yuan closed her eyes and said: "Long pain is better than short pain, you have too deep influence on the emperor, he will become a disaster one day!" ”

"What you said is not right, don't you have a profound influence on Your Majesty?" Yun Fenghuan retorted, "Do you think you will be a disaster?" ”

The Queen Mother was not angry, but said slowly: "The mourning family is different from you, you just said it yourself, although the mourning family has selfish intentions, but it is all based on the premise that everything is good for the emperor." Once the emperor is a little troubled, the mourning family will leave everything behind! What about you? You keep saying that you came to the palace to thank the emperor's love, and you did rely on the emperor's favor to start your family, but you dare to say that you are like a mourning family, and you always put the emperor first, which is more important than your life? ! ”

She tilted her head slightly and looked at the concubine with good eyebrows and eyes below, "If you can prove that you are like this, or prove that you will do this in the future, then the mourning family itself has suffered from the difficulties of her mother-in-law, and has seen how difficult and painful it is for a man to be caught between the two, so that he ends up depressed, but why bother, can't get along with you?" ”
