Gu Zhen actually didn't expect that the huge harem could now make the emperor so cautious and sneaky, that is, the concubine.

But because she didn't know the inside story, she couldn't imagine that the emperor temporarily pulled her out of the top tank in order not to hurt the concubine's face, and now she just wants to tell a lie, and she can't help but feel that Mrs. Qingshu Cui Lianye has been very close to the concubine in the past two years.

According to the concubine's always generous attitude towards the position of the subordinates, she should not object to this matter.

So why should the emperor be careful?

I think that at the beginning, when the concubine herself was still a real concubine, she recommended Wei Hengyan to sit in the position of concubine.

What's more, her current position is second only to the queen, so what if Cui Lianye is promoted again?

When Yun Fenghuang proposed to seal the Sixth Palace for the first time, he hinted to several high-ranking positions that the high-ranking positions in the palace were empty and empty, so instead of letting the young and beautiful newcomers come forward, why not arrange some old people who are not favored and are old and decrepit and have no heirs? In this way, it has not only won the reputation of valuing love and righteousness, but also suppressed future generations.

Recently, there have been vacancies in the concubine and concubine positions, and Yun Fenghuang is no longer normal with his own people like Mrs. Qingshu...... So the queen thought about it and still thought that this matter was mostly related to the previous dynasty.

As for why the imperial attendant came to pass the word quietly, it must be because Cui Wan did not do this authentic thing in the end, in order to prevent outsiders from talking about it after knowing about it, Yu Shengyu was hindered, but he had to hide it?

Gu Zhen was in a very complicated mood and asked his subordinates to arrange this matter, and he was busy asking his mother, Mrs. Zhao Wubo, to enter the palace to speak: "Mother, do you say that I will go to the concubine first now, so as not to be attacked after my father comes back, and it will be too late to entrust him temporarily?" ”

"Your grandfather thought about it, and said that His Majesty should not do anything to your father, at most he should be pretentious." Mrs. Zhao Wubo was actually a little worried in her heart, but she still said, "This time, the main thing is to let the concubine be a good person, you can go in advance, and then you can go again, anyway, the result is the same, but why bother to look at your face in advance?" ”

Gu Zhen said worriedly: "Then if the noble concubine is slandered, Your Majesty will listen to her and poison our family?" ”

"How is it possible, among the famous families now, which one is more reassuring to His Majesty than our family?" Mrs. Zhao Wubo shook her head and said quite bitterly, "People are prosperous but none of them are outstanding, even if they are descendants, when your father and uncle are ordinary people, they will have to decline in the future...... Don't say that Your Majesty will not rely on my Gu clan as His Majesty the Emperor Shenzong relies on the Ji clan, even so, do you think our family can have talents like the Marquis of Haixi and Minyang of the Duke of Ye to control the government? ”

The power tilting towards the government and the opposition also requires means, not that with the emperor's trust and support, it will come naturally.

Some relatives in the previous dynasty, although they relied on the favor of the harem and were in high power, but they were controlled by their subordinates, and they had a bad reputation for nothing, and they were used up and ignorant at all...... Such examples are not nothing, not even one or two.

"Why did Niangniang suddenly become worried, didn't she hear something in the palace?" Mrs. Zhao Wubo froze and asked, "Otherwise, didn't we talk about it last time?" Bear with it now, wait for later...... Let's settle the accounts slowly. ”

Gu Zhen frowned and said, "I suspect that the fate of the Zheng family this time has something to do with the Cui family. Just now, Your Majesty was quietly, really quietly, and specially sent someone to explain to me, so that I could bring all the old people of the six palaces with me, especially don't forget Cui Lianye! ”

Mrs. Zhao Wubo was quite surprised: "There is such a thing? ”

Because she didn't know the whole picture, she asked for details at this moment, and saw Gu Zhen say it in 1510...... Gu Zhen was preconceived, and there was a deviation subconsciously when he stated, Mrs. Zhao Wubo frowned, and said, "Our family is different from the Zheng family, then Zheng Gu is a eunuch, even if he once became a hussar general, but he is a slave for one day and a servant for life, he is a slave of the Gongxiang clan, and he can be in a high position, as His Majesty said in the temple, it is all the kindness given by the royal family!" The result? When the Ji clan coerced Xiaozong and set up the sky, did he say what he did or do? Not only did he not stand up to support the Son of Heaven, but seized the opportunity to seize power...... Not to mention that it is a Ming monarch like Your Majesty, even if he changes his filial piety, if he lives a few more years, I am afraid he will not let him go! ”

"So even if His Majesty was in power at the beginning, he was busy and softened, but, if you think about Zheng Fengdi's case, that time it was said that he misunderstood Zheng Fengdi, but the truth is still not clear to any of us?"

"Zheng Gu himself knows that his background is destined that His Majesty will not let him go easily......"

Mrs. Zhao Wubo's voice was low, "How else can you say that Your Majesty is wise and martial?" If it was other promises and overtures, Zheng Gu would definitely not believe it, and it was even impossible to vote directly for the Ji family or the regent at the beginning...... But His Majesty promised Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yun'an to Zheng Fengdi! ”

This sincerity touched Zheng Gu.

Because the eldest princess of Yun'an, as the blood of filial piety, it is appropriate for Chunjia to treat her favorably by default.

So the Zheng family, as Yun'an's husband, even if Chunjia doesn't add extra grace, how can he not fall into a situation similar to the Ji family?

Therefore, Zheng Gu was relieved and redoubled his sincerity to Chunjia, and then there was the palace change, and then the Zheng family was logically sent to prison.

Gu Zhen was reminded by his mother, and after thinking about the Zheng family's accident at this time, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and subconsciously said: "Mother, what happened in the palace...... Is it really the remnants of the Ji clan who did it, or is it? ”

In order to deal with the Zheng family, the emperor shouted to catch the thief?

Think about it more deeply, how many changes have been caused by the palace change? The fall of the two queen mothers and the twelve princes, the old words of the stupid truth of the king of Chu are recalled, the life experience of the eighth prince, and the concubine...... Did these really erupt by chance, or did they come into the emperor's expectation?

"Who knows?" Mrs. Zhao Wubo sighed, "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable...... What your grandfather can't eat, let alone you and me? ”

Seeing that her daughter's face was pale, she thought about it, and finally said again, "It shouldn't have been done by Your Majesty, after all, the regent didn't have it until the end of the year, and he will go out of the palace at this time, and it will be passed out, and His Majesty will have no face......"

Yes, the current courtiers and their families all feel that whether the emperor does or does not do a thing depends not on his conscience, but on the pros and cons.

Because Chunjia, he really doesn't have much conscience......

In the eyes of a noble lady like Mrs. Zhao Wubo, who has grown up to be a middle-aged heir, Chunjia has no conscience.

After all, the way he treated the two queen mothers, it was difficult not to let Mrs. Zhao Wubo and others from himself, and if his son was like this, he would be thrown out of the mansion early in the morning and let him fend for himself.

"In short, the current situation is in His Majesty's plan, and it is no longer something that we courtiers can change and influence." Mrs. Zhao Wubo was a little helpless and said with some resignation, "Don't think about it too much, anyway, everything will wait for your father to come back." Your grandfather has not been idle for the past two days, and has been running around to prepare for your father's return to the court to defend himself. Our family is also a family that has accumulated years of years, and we have never done anything to be sorry for Your Majesty...... But if His Majesty is reasonable, it is expected that there will be no danger. ”

It's just that military power is impossible.

In Old Lady Gu's speculation, the best result of the Gu family was that after Gu Fangshu came back, he asked the concubine to sell her favor, and she was left in the court to be "entrusted with a heavy responsibility".

The Dingbei Army was taken over by the emperor's cronies, and since then the relationship with the Gu family has gradually faded, and finally the line has been completely drawn.

Although this result was a little depressing for the Gu family, it ......

It's not unacceptable.

In fact, Old Lady Gu thinks this is not bad, after all, the Gu family has no successor now, and after Zhao Wubo, there is no child who can take over the Dingbei Army.

And since ancient times, courtiers who are in military power often have a bad fate.

They are the kind of people who are not antipathetic and are worried about wealth and longevity...... It's more comfortable to want to open a little.

…… Gu Zhen whispered to Mrs. Zhao Wubo behind closed doors for a long time before he sent his mother away with a heavy heart.

Before Mrs. Zhaowu left, she heard that the third prince came to ask for peace, and the queen beat her spirit and ordered someone to pass him in, but she saw that this son was acting a little abnormal, and couldn't help asking: "Bing'er, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, Erchen just accidentally bumped into it." The third prince glanced at his left leg and said quietly, "I have just asked the palace people to take the medicinal oil and massage it, and it will be fine to turn around." ”

The queen frowned, didn't ask in the end, asked him about his recent schoolwork, and learned that everything was fine, so she sent him down, and finally summoned someone from the third prince's side to ask: "When the third prince came to the palace today, his pace was a little unsteady, what is going on?" ”

The man said with some trepidation: "If you go back to your mother, yes...... It was Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing who missed the beating. ”

Gu Zhen's face changed, and he subconsciously sat up straight: "Why did Zhaoqing beat Bing'er?!" ”

“…… It seems that Her Royal Highness persuaded Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing not to be greedy, so as not to hurt her legs and feet. The man smiled bitterly and said, "Our Highness has a good intention, and I occasionally remember it after listening to it from the riding and archery training side, and relay it to Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing...... Who knew that Her Royal Highness the princess did not appreciate it? ”

"......" Gu Zhen's expression was gloomy, and he said after a while, "Bing'er and Zhaoqing are still young now, and it is inevitable that they will not think well when they speak and act. But that's why you people come in and out. As a result, you're only watching from the sidelines, what's the use of you?! ”

After that, he didn't care about the man's plea for mercy, and directly ordered the man to be dragged down and disposed of.

followed by a slap on the table, the whole set of tea sets trembled, and the anger of Wu Ziyu did not subside, and he hated, "This...... The bastard thing raised by Xuanqing Palace!! ”

He was angry that the third prince was too upright, "Bing'er doesn't know what to think!" Isn't it hard for their brother to suffer enough grievances at the hands of that since he was a child? What to do, I have to rush to think about her! If she loves the cold, let her be greedy! Anyway, when I turned around and fell to the root of the disease, what happened to the mother and son of the main palace!! ”

The queen knew that it was impossible for her to seek justice for the third prince, because although the emperor revealed the truth that the eldest son and eldest daughter of the concubine were just like that at the critical juncture, he ...... He looked at the King of Qin and Zhaoqing who grew up, that is, they were not as good as the concubines he planned to establish as the princes, and compared to ordinary heirs, they would definitely be far superior.

Not to mention that it is a child like the third prince who has not been treated well since childhood.

Especially when it comes to Zhaoqing's legs......

This matter, even the queen is not very easy to mention, even if the third prince is well-intentioned, since Zhaoqing beat him because of this, even if there is a trouble, the queen can think of what the emperor's attitude will be.

Chunjia will definitely blame the queen for not teaching the three princes well, and even blame the three princes for not knowing how to feel sorry for their sister, thinking that since the three princes poked Zhaoqing's pain, what if they were beaten? It's just that his leg hurts a little, can he have Zhaoqing's lame leg pain?

“…… Go back and tell more Bing'er. The queen was so angry that she was going to die, and it was not good to find the culprit to settle the account, so she was depressed, so she had to order left and right, "Let him stay a little farther away from the Xuanqing Palace!" Especially Zhaoqing! ”

Although this is the most beautiful royal heir under Chunjia's knees, and she is still the daughter that the queen has not had so far, the queen really doesn't like this princess!

In fact, Yun Fenghuang also had a bit of a headache with Zhaoqing's temper this time.
