Chapter 52: Sleepless Nights
How can this Mu E be such a waste? Yun Fenghuan was stunned when he heard this, "Killing his father and killing his brother is such an act, and he actually fell into the trick for Hale to know?!" ”
She thought for a moment and asked, "What is the rhetoric in the court now?" Has Your Majesty ever expressed his position? ”
Chen Jing shook his head and said: "When the slave and maid came back, the previous dynasty was still discussing, and I heard the little chamberlain in front of the emperor say that several adults were arguing very much. Some people feel that now that Hele is powerful, and Mu E is infamous and spurned by the grassland, there is no need to use swords and soldiers for the sake of Mrs. Roukun and her concubine! And some think that no matter how bad Mu E is, he has never owed the country, and now his life and death are uncertain, the Da Yan clan and his daughter and young son are sheltering the country, if the country does not care, is it not against benevolence and righteousness? Besides, the feud between the Halle and the Mu'e brothers is well known! Whether the charge of killing his father and brother is true or false, it is not known! ”
"Even if you want to return the eldest clan and Mu E's youngest son to Wei Su, it has to be after the Hele Dingding Grassland, and then take out the ironclad evidence that Mu E plotted to kill his father and brother, so it can be regarded as justified."
"Otherwise, just by virtue of the fact that Khala is now just an envoy, he will obey his words, but it will seem that the country is afraid of them!"
Yun Fenghuang groaned, "Has Lord Ouyang ever spoke?" If so, what does he think? ”
"Lord Ouyang is in favor of the latter." Chen Jing said, hesitated, and said, "But...... The regent was in favor of the former. said that this was Mu E's family matter, and the dynasty should not interfere too much. It's just that the mother and son of the Da Yan clan are handed over to Hele, but it is not necessary, and they can be returned to the Da Yan family's maiden family. ”
He said a very awkward tribal name, saying that this was one of the most important supporters of Mu'e, and one of the few large tribes who had not been moved by the accusation of Mu'e.
If the mother and son of the Da Yan clan were sent over, it was unlikely that they would hand over the person to the Hale, but they would crusade against the Hale in the name of Mu E's youngest son.
"It's weird." Yun Fenghuang leaned back and said thoughtfully, "I heard that the old Khan of Wei Su has many heirs, and the most outstanding ones are his eldest son, Mu E, and Hele, who are gone. In this way, even if Mu E is not a genius, if he wants to use resourceful means, he should be in the middle and upper echelons. In this case, how did Khala convince many tribes with a small amount of evidence? ”
As the so-called hook thief punishes the thief of the country, and murders his father and brother, if it is committed by ordinary people, then there is nothing to say, and all kinds of torture are carried out together, without shouting injustice.
But this is not the case with the clan.
When the old khan and his eldest son were alive, how wise and powerful they were, they were no longer there.
Their wives and children may still be full of grief and anger thinking about revenge.
But other people, such as those big tribes who used to support them, have to think about it, and follow Hale to expose Mu E, is there any benefit?
Is this benefit worth the effort of their sons?
When Mu E had just ascended the throne, he was busy sending his thirteen-year-old concubine to the dynasty as a concubine, in fact, the main reason was to stabilize the Central Plains, so as not to be robbed by the fire.
He has even taken into account the Central Plains, which has been taking care of himself for all these years and has just breathed a sigh of relief, and has not thought about planning Wei Su or anything from top to bottom, will he give up some of his interests in exchange for the support of the leaders of the big clans?
As the already reigning khan, Mu E has the advantage of righteousness, if he promises three points of benefits, the son of an old khan like Khal, who has not yet ascended the throne, is afraid that he will not be doubled, so that he can persuade those leaders to accompany him to gamble?
Yes, there was news from the Imperial City Division before, saying that Mu E was suspected of being infected and dying soon.
If this news had been known to the Hal and had been relayed to the tribes, it would indeed cause panic in the hearts of the people.
But this is only bad news for Mu E's family, and for the heads of various departments, it is really not necessarily.
The reason is very simple, the Khan is in the prime of life and wise, which is a good thing from the perspective of the whole Wei Su, but it also means that the king's tent on them will not be relaxed.
But if Mu E dies and his son comes to power, according to the Imperial City Division, the older heirs under Mu E's knees are not very good, and the younger ones have some smart reputations, but they are too young to say what will happen in the future, at least for now, they can't preside over the overall situation.
What would he do in this case? What could he do?
Naturally, it was the same arrangement as when the Divine Sect died, leaving the minister to assist the young master.
Isn't this an opportunity for the chiefs of the big clans?
If Yun Fenglian was the head of a certain tribe of Wei Su, she would definitely choose to be the arm of the young master, and quietly and gain fame and fortune to take the power into her hands, instead of taking her descendants to fight for life and death.
After all, whether it is the old khan or the eldest prince, is the truth about the cause of death of the father and son wronged...... What does it have to do with her?
It's not her father's brother!
"Niangniang, Xu is eager to seize the throne, at any cost?" Chen Jing guessed, "After all, after hearing that Mu E ascended the throne, I have been thinking about eradicating it. It's just that the soldiers under the command of Hele are strong and alert, and they hide far away in the morning and don't appear in front of Mu E at all, so they survive. Since he has caught such a handle as Mu E, if he doesn't fight to the death, I'm afraid that when Mu E recovers, he will be in a catastrophe! ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "This Hale is really ruthless, it is said that the youngest son of Mu E, who fled to Yanzhou to ask Zhao Wubo for help, is three years old. He won't let it go! ”
This is what kind of position to say something, originally Mu E, who killed his father and brother, should be spurned by the people of the world. It is also a proper duty for wives and children to suffer.
But Chen Jing, as a eunuch of the dynasty, is of course thinking about the dynasty.
Khale's move made the monarchs and ministers of the country embarrassed, and in his opinion, this was Khale's mistake.
Yun Fenghuang also thought so: "I'm afraid he also wants to take advantage of the dynasty." Even though Mu E was splashed with sewage by him, he was the serious Khan who passed on the throne to him when the old khan was in power. At that time, the old khan did not choose Khal, and now even if Khal kills Mu E and ruins Mu E's reputation, he may not be able to ascend to the throne of Khan smoothly. Therefore, I took this opportunity to spy on the attitude of the national dynasty, if the national dynasty handed over the two mothers and sons of the Da Yan clan to him, it would be just to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! If the dynasty refused, he could also use this as an excuse to intimidate the tribes, saying that the dynasty was hostile to Wei Su, so that they would not dare to covet the throne too much, lest the dynasty take advantage of it. ”
Pinching her eyebrows, she sighed lightly, "These are dealt with by His Majesty, so let's not worry about it." ”
He asked, "By the way, does Lady Roukun know the news?" What have you ever done? ”
Chen Jing said: "It seems that I just knew, on the way back, the slave maid saw her riding a chariot to go forward, so I left someone to follow her to inquire about the situation, and I will have news after a while." ”
Yun Fenghuang nodded, and asked about the queen mother of the two palaces, and learned that since the two queen mothers stopped together, they have been detained in the palace silently, and they have not even taken a step in the main hall, and they look indifferent when they returned to the Ji family when they were in power.
"That's impossible." She smiled contemptuously and said, "Keep staring!" And the county lord of Kunze is too, there is no negligence! ”
Chen Jing responded in a low voice and said: "Also, Niangniang instructed before, let the slave maid find two credible people to go to Shanyuan to watch a little, the slave maid has been arranged two days ago, and only then did a news come over, saying that it was found ......."
He hesitated slightly, and then continued, "I found that the colt was also sending people to keep an eye on Shanyuan. ”
"Pony?" Yun Fenghuang frowned, and then said, "Let people ask him what he wants to do, don't say that our people found out, just say that someone got up before His Majesty, and it was easy for this palace to cover up for him." ”
Chen Jing hurriedly said: "Yes." ”
On this day, the court meeting about Wei Su was held until late at night, and an agreement was reached very reluctantly, that is, it is impossible to release people like this, and the dynasty also wants to save face, and Hele is not weak, and now he has caught Mu E's sore feet, and even Mu E's life and death are uncertain. This move is tantamount to sending Hale to the throne, so the civil strife in Wei Su, which the dynasty and Chunjia were happy to see before, must it disappear?
If only that's it.
After all, on the side of the national dynasty, the contradiction between uncle and nephew has not yet been resolved, and a series of problems accumulated by the Ji dictatorship over the years are still being dealt with, and in fact, there is not much energy to deal with Wei Su.
The problem is that as Mu E's younger brother, Hale is in the prime of life, and it is rumored that he has a violent temperament and is ambitious...... What if he is not restrained by Mu E's faction, and he wants to fight the idea of the national dynasty?
At that time, it will be the people of the dynasty who will face the beacon fire.
So don't let go, not only don't let go, but also help the mother and son of the Da Yan clan contact the separated tribal relatives, ascend the throne as soon as possible, declare Hele a rebel, deny all the charges against Mu E, and call on the whole grassland to crusade against Hele!
In this way, even if he wanted to fight, it would be impossible for him to rashly enter the territory of the country and the DPRK without regard to the risk of being flanked by the front and rear when the rear had not yet been pacified.
If Mu E's faction is not exhausted, and it is Mu E's heir who finally sits on the throne of Khan, the harvest of the dynasty can be imagined.
Even if Hele wins, it will be able to consume his strength somewhat, and even if he hates the dynasty very much, he will be powerless if he wants to attack under the great injury of his vitality.
No matter how you calculate this, it is more cost-effective than letting Hale grow.
"Mrs. Roukun rushed to the front court after receiving the news, and she knelt down outside the hall, begging His Majesty to protect the mother and son of the Da Yan clan." After the court meeting that night, Chunjia did not come to the harem, but stayed in the Taichu Palace to rest alone.
After all, at an extraordinary time, the emperor didn't have the heart to spend the snow.
In the harem, the palace concubines and low-level concubines are also gone, and there are few high-ranking ones who can be placed early.
Yun Fenghuan had dinner, freshened up, and entered the dormitory, but he kept flipping through the books on the palace lamp, and he didn't really rest until he was told the results.
Qingdu said while waiting for her to untie her clothes, "It's just that it was not a coincidence when she went, and she was rushing to fight fiercely with several adults, and she almost wanted to do it, and the attendants outside the hall did not dare to enter at that time to tell ...... By the time His Majesty found out about this, it had been more than two hours later, and I heard that she had been carried back by two healthy women, and her knee was about to be injured on her knees. ”
"It's pitiful, too." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Go back and get some medicine for her, this princess is also young and ignorant, she is a palace concubine, when the previous dynasty was discussing serious matters, the queen may not dare to disturb, what is she?" Who in the palace would dare to disturb national affairs for her? With more than two hours of hard work, she might as well go to the Chongchang Palace to ask the queen mother, or come to the palace. The queen doesn't know more about this than she does? ”
She was a little disappointed in her heart, that is, Mrs. Roukun was still young and vigorous, and at this time, she didn't come to the Huanhua Palace to enjoy the love at the laurel banquet.
Otherwise, she took advantage of the situation to return the favor, but she was relaxed.
…… However, it can also be seen from this move that Rou Kun probably didn't expect her to recognize that favor at all.
She didn't do anything to this alien princess, did Roukun think of her like that?
Yun Fenghuang said a few words in his heart, and asked Qingdu and the others to look at Mrs. Roukun's side.
After all, this is the master who has sold favors at the laurel banquet, and he can't help but make a gesture of maintenance at this time.
Although everyone knows very well that it was Cui Lianye who really helped the round that day, Rou Kun just took a share of the credit.
But looks always have to be done.
The next day, the concubines went to Chongchang Hall to ask for peace, the concubines in the high position were not very good, and at first glance, they were not resting well last night, Gu Zhen said a few words casually, and dismissed most of the people, leaving only the concubine Shufei and Concubine De to come down and speak: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, Wei Su has changed in this eye, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not have much time to ask about the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you have to help worry about this matter." ”
It's not a difficult thing, Yun Fenglian and Concubine Shu have experience, so they agreed after a few humble words.
The queen said a few more palace affairs, and everyone dealt with them in a few words, and finally talked about Wei Su's affairs, and the queen said: "Although the court means that it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers, but Hale is ambitious and may not be willing to give up." If it really comes to the time when it is necessary to move north, the army does not move, the grain and grass go first, and the consumption is not small......"
Gu Zhen said a lot of words, which roughly meant that he wanted to propose that the concubines save money from now on to help the military resources.
"The mother is virtuous and virtuous, and the concubine is beyond her reach." When Yun Fenghuan heard this, he said, "It's just...... It is precisely because there is no war yet, if we make such a gesture, in case it reaches Wei Su, so that they think that the dynasty has bad intentions and want to strike first, this? ”
"......" Gu Zhen was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and said, "What the noble concubine said is very true, but the palace has forgotten about it." Then the matter is to be stopped, and when you go out, do not talk nonsense. ”
The queen's face was a little stupid, her proposal was the advice of the people around her, the Tao is that Chunjia prefers the concubine, and it is true that she only respects the queen, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, if the queen is dedicated to assisting Your Majesty, for a long time, how can Your Majesty not have you in your heart?
Now that Wei Su has changed, and the whole court is waiting for it, at such a time, His Majesty must have a headache for the cost after the war.
Suggesting that the harem take the lead in thrift, even if it may not save much money, at least the posture is good-looking!
Even if you can't impress the emperor, you can earn a reputation as a virtuous queen in the market, and you won't lose anything.
Gu Zhen felt that it was very reasonable, and he was afraid that he would be preempted by Yun Fenghuang and the others, so he would talk about it immediately, but he didn't think it through, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at the moment.
But it was not good to have a seizure, so he pretended to reveal it as if nothing happened, and only said: "Mrs. Roukun is worried about her parents and family, it is said that she fell ill last night, and this palace is thinking about sending someone to visit one or two, which of you will go?" ”
She asked so, but her gaze fell directly on Yun Fenghuang.
