Chapter 305: Gu Li
"For so many years, Concubine An's means of cleaning up the palace concubines, just a few hands back and forth, she herself is not tired, and these people in the palace are tired of looking at it." In Chengyue Palace, Concubine Cui Shu sighed lightly, "I didn't expect it to come, she is finally a little smarter." It's just that it's too late to get the hang of it now. It's just to take some newcomers from humble backgrounds to vent their anger. Originally, since His Majesty did not protect these people, he didn't expect them to make any trouble in the palace...... Concubine An did this, which would only make Her Majesty more and more annoyed with her. β
She thought to herself that if Concubine An did the same when Yun Fenghuang first entered the palace, Yun Fenghuang would still be able to mix up so quickly?
You must know that at that time, although many people were not angry about entering the palace as a high-ranking noblewoman, they taught a pseudo-noble girl to take the lead, but it was precisely because they were high-ranking noblewomen, with the support of their father and brother behind them, and even sisters who entered the palace first and were already concubines, so they were not happy about Yun Fenghuang's first to come out, but they did not say that they had to target her and kill her. At that time, no one thought that Chunjia would be so quick to pro-government, and then the Ji family was even more defeated, according to the environment of Chunjia's early harem, the nobles were calm one by one, and they only felt that with their own background, they were not smart enough to catch up.
Therefore, even if he is hostile to Yun Fenghuan, such as Wei Hengyan, he has also argued with Yun Fenghuan in public, but he really does not have the urge to tear his face and be ruthless.
But if Concubine An had come here at the beginning and changed her method to force everyone to target Yun Feng Huang together, how could Yun Feng Huang's life be better?
No matter how cunning she is, she has no foundation when she first enters the palace, and she is difficult to defeat with two fists and four hands.
In this way, these old people may not wither one after another......
Cui Lianye didn't dare to say this, so she only sighed again.
In the palace forbidden, there are only a handful of old people who have entered the palace since Chunjia's wedding, and most of the concubines do not have such feelings as concubines, but they are interested in watching the liveliness of Huzhu Palace, and there are even young and good concubines, and even started a gambling game in private......
The queen was a little crying and laughing when she found out, and she was also a little melancholy: "At that time, it was an open secret that Concubine An bullied the palace concubines, if it weren't for the help of the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty, she would have been caught by the Ji family and cleaned up." I heard that at that time, His Majesty actually did not approve of her always killing innocents indiscriminately, so she persuaded her many times in private, and she also threw her face...... Helplessly, Concubine An is that sex, she is angry in other places, and she must find someone below to be happy. No matter how His Majesty coaxed or persuaded her, she did her own thing. Now His Majesty doesn't care about her, but he won't persuade her. β
Chunjia really didn't persuade Concubine An.
In fact, after the Son of Heaven knew that Concubine An was going to Huzhu Palace for all eight of the newcomers, he only shook his head slightly, and then he didn't mention Wen Mingcui and the others, obviously giving up on these people.
Therefore, in the next few days, the six palaces really watched a lively scene.
To everyone's surprise, the first to go out was Wen Mingcui, who had been strong in the Taichu Palace earlier.
"But it's not surprising when you think about it." The concubine said to Concubine De, who came to talk about this, "The Da Wen clan and the Xiao Wen clan pretended to be at odds with many people when they were in front of His Majesty, because Concubine An almost killed the Da Wen clan, which exposed the true relationship between them. The others are not stupid, the two Wen clans are from the same place, and it is normal for them to come together, but they all pretend to be incompatible in front of the emperor, who is this pretending to be? It's not Your Majesty. Your Majesty doesn't like concubines to always make trouble. It must be to prepare for who to pit in the future. Such a thoughtful newcomer, this palace feels that it is reassuring to be the first to eradicate it, can others not think so? β
Concubine De also understands this truth, but in order to flatter the concubine, she naturally pretends that she doesn't know this or that, coaxes the concubine to analyze them one by one, purses her lips and smiles: "It's still my sister who is smart and knows a few words, and my sister understands it." I was still confused before, and I felt that the newcomer went to Huzhu Palace, didn't he also make a mistake like the lord of Huzhu Palace? β
After Wen Mingcui was eliminated, Wen Shijiang was immediately followed.
These two were purely the result of being besieged by the other six people, and after such a while, the other six newcomers had to be a little defensive no matter how naΓ―ve they were.
Xu was at a stalemate for this reason. Although they made a move on each other, they showed that they were evenly matched.
The concubines looked so happy that when they greeted the queen, the topic revolved.
Yun Fenghuan felt that this scene was very familiar, and later remembered that when he first entered the palace, the people of the Yuan Hou saw her tearing Yuan Neem Niang, and it seemed that she had a similar look and demeanor.
After all these years, it was finally her turn to sit firmly on Diaoyutai and watch the situation change.
However, the weight of the newcomers is limited after all, although it is hotly discussed, the high-ranking people are still concerned about the disposal of Zhao Wubo.
After all, everyone knows how the queen ascended to the throne, and the emperor's attitude towards Zhao Wubo directly determines Gu Zhen's future, or in other words, indirectly determines the choice of the prince.
Time passed in a flash, and soon it was early summer, and the battle for the palace concubines in Huzhu Palace was also out again, but it was Si Zhan, who was forced to commit suicide by Concubine An before...... Everyone thought that she would definitely not be able to do it before, but who knew that this newcomer looked weak and immature, but it took several days before he swallowed his breath unwillingly.
Everyone watched with relish, and they heard the thunder from the previous dynasty: Gu Li, the grandson of Zhaowu Bo and the queen's nephew, was confused by Wei Su, and actually assassinated the deputy general who was the temporary acting commander, falsely passed on Gu Fangshu's order, forcibly integrated the Dingbei Army, and attacked Yanzhou with a single blow!
The sixth palace was at a loss for a moment when he heard the news clearly.
It's because Gu Li actually has no reason to do this!
He is the eldest grandson of Gu Fangshu's lineage, and he was destined to be treated solemnly by his elders from birth.
Because Gu Fangshu's eldest son was not outstanding, Zhao Wubo, who had just entered the prime of life at that time, poured his hopes into his grandchildren. Although he worked hard to cultivate until later, he found that the eldest grandson was actually only a middle-aged person, but fortunately, the younger brothers below were not particularly outstanding, and they still couldn't shake his status.
In any case, Gu Li is one of the most valued members of the Gu family.
Before Gu Zhen was sealed, his status was not as good as that of this nephew.
Although it is said that the Gu family has been deteriorating in the past two years and the future is unpredictable, after all, the emperor has not done anything to the Gu family so far, nor has he done anything to the queen and the ten princes and the twelve princes, Gu Li is so blatantly treasonous, it is simply incomprehensible! 600
Especially his biggest backer, Gu Fangshu, is right now in the imperial capital, under the emperor's nose!
Yun Fenghuan was even a little suspicious, Gu Li was not confused by Wei Su, but by Chunjia!
Just so that the Son of Heaven can get a legitimate opportunity to kill the commander who has been stationed in the frontier for many years!
Otherwise, is Gu Li crazy?!
It's just that Gu Li'er is not crazy and doesn't say it, but the queen is almost crazy, she rushed to the front of the court as soon as she received the news and explained to the emperor: "Although Li'er is stupid, she will never do such a heart-wrenching thing, I beg Your Majesty to see what is going on, and return Li'er's innocence, and also return my Gu family......"
Based on her understanding of her nephew, the queen dared to take Xiang Shang's head to vouch for Gu Li.
However, before he finished his words at this moment, he was coldly interrupted by Chun Jia: "However, the fact is that the Dingbei Army sent troops with Zhao Wubo counterattacked Yanzhou City!" β
"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that it may be Li'er who has been ......deceived by a traitor" The queen subconsciously continued to excuse her nephew, and halfway through her words, she touched the emperor's cold gaze and suddenly came to her senses: For the emperor, the focus is probably not that Yanzhou City was attacked, but why the Dingbei Army, which sent troops with Zhao Wubo, would be willing to follow Gu Li to rebel???
What does this mean?
It means that at least the Dingbei Army, which sent troops with Zhao Wubo, was loyal to Gu Fangshu and not to the imperial court!
The problem is that over the years, although Zhaowubo has always been stationed at the border pass, the supply of the Dingbei Army has always been given by the imperial court!
Which Son of Heaven can stand this?
Gu Zhen fell into the ice cellar, opened his mouth, and wanted to find some reason for his family, but he couldn't think of it anyway...... In a trance, I only heard the emperor instruct in a faint voice: "Send the queen back to the Sixth Palace." I've been a little busy these days, so the queen just needs to recuperate in the harem, so she doesn't have to come to the front court to disturb me. β
After she went back, she fell ill unexpectedly without going to the sixth house.
When Yun Fenghuang heard the news, he went to talk in the name of visiting, and when he learned what had happened, he was also speechless.
"Please also ask the concubine to say two fair words for Li'er." Gu Zhen was at a loss now, and he actually regarded her as a life-saving straw, pulling Yun Fenghuang's hand and begging bitterly, "The nephew of this palace was raised by this palace, he will never be a person who betrays his family and country, there must be a misunderstanding in this!" β
"The concubine thinks the same way." Yun Fenghuan's heart was racing, and he said, "It's just that Niangniang, don't worry, you see that Your Majesty just asked you to come back and don't bother, but you didn't say anything about it, so it can be seen that Your Majesty also has doubts in his heart." You might as well rest and wait for the follow-up news to come. Perhaps, General Gu Xiao thought that he was doing this to be loyal to the country! After all, thousands of miles away, many things and many words have changed when they are passed on, haven't they? β
She has always been articulate, and although the queen is unlikely to be completely relaxed, she breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking her repeatedly, she reluctantly let her go.
On the way back to the Huanhua Palace, Qingren couldn't help but say, "The queen is really ...... What else would confuse her nephew to turn his back on her family and country? This must be that Gu Li's own mind is not right! β
After all, the Qing people have always hoped that the queen would step down and the concubine would ascend to the throne, and now that something like this happened to the Gu family, of course she was gloating, and she couldn't wait to immediately finalize the Gu family's guilty charges.
"Not necessarily, for example, if Gu Li thinks that the whole family has been calculated by the imperial court, and only he is still alive, then it makes sense to take his subordinates to attack Yanzhou City." Yun Fenghuang was stunned when he said this, and suddenly said, "The Dingbei Army has been stationed in Yanzhou for many years, and Gu Li is the eldest grandson of Gu Fangshu, and his father is the official son...... How did Yanzhou City survive? β
Because Zhao Wubo should be called back to the court, although the emperor's attitude has been ambiguous so far, there is no intention of targeting.
It is said that if Gu Li wants to do anything to Yanzhou City, there is no need to attack it at all...... Directly led the troops into the city to rest, could anyone still stop him?!
When he entered the city, he was familiar with the unfolding of the road, even if the Marquis of Jingning was old and spicy, Yanzhou was the nest of the Dingbei Army, and how long had the Marquis of Jingning passed? It may not be able to hold down!
Even if the situation is stabilized in the end, I am afraid that it will be solid and chaotic for a while.
But this Gu Li......
I heard the news that he was attacking Yanzhou City? This shows that it was not captured, which ......???
Yun Fenghuang frowned and asked Chen Jing, "Good life to check some details." No matter how mediocre the grandson of Zhaowu is, how can he not have such a level? β
Then the Gu family is not a problem of no successor, but a successor who is not human, what kind of stupidity does this have to be?
Back in the hall, Yun Fenghuang thought about what he should do next.
It is said that since the queen has fallen into trouble, she should go up and step on it.
But now that Gu Li's affairs are flawed, coupled with the gentle and graceful character that has just begun to brush her temperament, she thought about it again and again, and finally decided to continue to see the truth with the queen in distress, and go to the emperor to intercede for the queen.
