"......" Yun Fenghuang was silent, looking at her expression, it seemed that she was hesitating to tell the queen, in fact, she was thinking quickly.

After a moment, she raised her head, glanced at Gu Zhen, and said lightly, "Does the queen know why His Majesty came from Fuyang County in the first place, when it was when the orphans and widows were lonely and helpless, the ministers of the court, or they were afraid of the Ji family, or they didn't believe in His Majesty's talents, so they didn't wait and see, but the Duke of Yiguo took the initiative to take refuge without hesitation?" The Yun family is also a high-ranking family for generations, and it has been able to stand from the founding of the country to the present, although it has the merits of the ancestors and the benevolence of the sons of heaven in the past dynasties, but it can ...... The heroes of the founding of the country, are they all above the temple now?! ”

"If the Yun clan is the kind with solid eyes, can they enjoy wealth and glory to this day?"

"......" Gu Zhen frowned, she had never thought about this before, because the ancestors of the Gu family were also royalists, and they did not mix with any infighting in the heavenly family, whoever became the emperor was loyal to whom, and the reason why they had been under the command of the regent all these years was also a mistake.

Her grandfather privately lamented that his family was in trouble, and the commander who had a heavy army was very suspicious, and he was also mixed with the troubles of the royal family, and his real future was not bright.

Old lady Gu was even very envious of Yiguo Gong, feeling that the Yun family's life was good, and he stood firmly on Chunjia from the beginning, and he stood on the right side!

This is simply the smoke of the ancestral tomb......

So Gu Zhen didn't think about the decisiveness of Yiguo Gong at the beginning, in her opinion, if it wasn't for the fact that her family was arranged by Xiaozong to make friends with the regent, and Chunjia was not Xiaozong's biological son, then when Chunjia ascended the throne, the Gu family would also give Xinjun a platform?

At this moment, I heard that I was thinking about it to no avail, so I had to ask the concubine, "Why is this?" ”

What, you don't know either?

Yun Fenghuang frowned and looked at her, and said in his heart that this middle palace is really a waste of a good background, why is it still confused at this age?

Yiguo Gong stood in line with Chunjia, perhaps because of their firmness as royalists, or maybe because they had other inside information...... Yun Fenghuan just wanted to set up the queen's words, to see if he could continue to search for some of the inside information that the big families knew, but now seeing that the queen didn't know anything, he didn't bother to go back, so he just said: "The matter has come to this, and it's useless to say that." As for what the queen mother said about Concubine Zhenxi, if the concubine's speculation is correct, it does have something to do with His Majesty's thoughts: if Concubine Zhenxi has not died, His Majesty does intend to make her successor. After all, Yiguo Gong is loyal and known to everyone in the world! His concubine is so unfavored, and she is still a concubine in the palace, not to mention her beloved daughter? ”

"It's just that the current tacit understanding of the monarchs and ministers of the court is that they can't come out of the Ji clan again!"

"Then how can Your Majesty make a good honey with Concubine Zhenxi? This move does not mean that His Majesty will not be able to control it in the future, but that this style is seen by outsiders, can you not suspect that Your Majesty is lazy and inadequate? ”

Gu Zhen suddenly remembered that when Yun Fenghuang was favored in the past, there were also people inside and outside who talked about whether the emperor was a faint monarch, and he didn't really have the power yet, so he couldn't wait to favor the concubine.

Especially Yun Fenghuan's background is not high, she is not the kind of famous lady who is convincing, and the enemies inside and outside the palace at that time have fallen into the ground, saying that she is virtuous and virtuous at all, and she is purely a fox who relies on beauty and means...... But in the past two years, basically no one has mentioned such words.

Because although the emperor still favored the concubine, he set up Gu Zhen, who was of high birth and had no bad deeds, and arranged a son-in-law for Gu Zhen.

Everyone then thought that the emperor was still sober after all.

So there doesn't seem to be anything to favor the concubine, no matter how noble the concubine is, it's still a side room.

And although Yun Fenghuang openly brought his mother's family, but the Xie family has not become any climate so far, and even the only colt has retired at a young age, even if this war, the Xie family has sent many children to join the army, but this kind of grinding spear in battle, there are very few people who can move smoothly, and it is basically impossible to drive the entire Xie clan to rise to the top.

At most, give the concubine a long face, and it won't hinder the situation in the temple.

However, the Yun family, the maiden family of the late Concubine Zhenxi Shushu and the unfavored Concubine Xie, was obviously relied on by the emperor, and even the Dingbei Army was likely to be handed over to the Yun family's children in the future......

Gu Zhen was silent for a moment, sighed faintly, and said, "Your Majesty...... Sure enough, it's wise and powerful! ”

She doubted for a while that the so-called Chun Jiasheng favored Concubine Min outside was true or false.

Yun Fenghuang has been in the palace for a few years, and his appearance has been suppressed by Yi Xingen, so it should not be enough to say that Chunjia is not sincere to the concubine.

But this sincerity seems to be the same thing.

In the end, it is not as important as the emperor's own future, power, and status.

Gu Zhen is no longer a teenage girl, even if the city government is not deep enough, she is not so naïve in the end.

I don't expect to be so affectionate and love like life, but it's just ......

Thinking about Concubine An, who was spoiled and spoiled back then, and made everyone in the Six Palaces hate, and then looked at the concubine who is now famous for being favored but is difficult to surpass on the back seat, Gu Zhen suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, "This palace has always felt that since Sister Shuang is the same as this palace, she has never thought of entering the palace, and she has to do it for the sake of her family, plus Your Majesty does not pity her so much, she must also complain about Your Majesty and don't like Your Majesty so much." Now it seems that Sister Shuangyu's heart turns out to have His Majesty, and the weight is not light! ”

Since Yun Shuang, like Yun Fenghuan, had seen through Chunjia's mind early and understood the rationality and ruthlessness of this son of heaven, even if she was under house arrest at that time, could she really not avoid being forced to die?

Gu Zhen didn't believe it, she didn't have any city government, she was able to survive in the palace of the Chunjia Dynasty until now, except for nothing, no illness or disaster, and she was also a queen, although she had a family, she only entered the palace for two years, thanks to the maintenance of Concubine Zhenxi.

Yun Fenghuang is a skilled person, and the former queen and the former concubine Zheng are not fuel-efficient lamps...... But Gu Zhen believes that if Yun Shuangyu was not his own life and death will, he might not pass away so lightly.

And Yun Shuangyu is in a high position at a young age, and she also has the family of the Yiguo Mansion, why does she not want to live because of the former concubine Zheng's planting?

Could it be that Chunjia is sincere, but knows that this person will never give the same response?

Gu Zhen lowered his eyes: "You go down, this palace wants to be alone." ”

Yun Fenghuang looked at her in some surprise: "Queen Mother...... is really innocent, would he think that Concubine Zhenxi Shushu was young, and would be willing to die because of such a disheartened? ”

"......" Gu Zhen choked, she was actually emotional, and she might not think like this when she calmed down, but she was a little embarrassed when Yun Fenghuan said this, pursed her lips, and said unhappily, "Then what do you think, Sister Shuangyu, why did she die like that?" Even if there was a turbulent undercurrent in the palace at that time, Sister Shuang was a dignified concubine, and the beloved daughter of the Duke of Yiguo, as for the opportunity to defend herself, she couldn't even get the opportunity to defend herself? ”

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said with a somewhat strange expression: "Queen Mother, do you think why did the Ji clan overturn so quickly later?" ”

Gu Zhen said inexplicably: "You mean that this matter has something to do with the Ji family?" Doesn't it mean that it was the Zheng family who framed Concubine Zhenxi? ”

"At that time, Ji Sheng was still the queen mother, and the former queen was also there, what happened in the palace would have nothing to do with them?" Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Your Majesty is not an impatient person, otherwise he would not have been obscure for eight years before he started. But the fall of the Ji clan was only overnight, although this was mainly because of the regent, but ...... What the hell is going on, we all know in our hearts. ”

She squinted slightly, "You say, why would Your Majesty allow the regent to act so hastily?" ”

"......" Gu Zhen thought carefully for a while, and furrowed his brows, "You mean, because of the death of Sister Shuangyu, Your Majesty is worried about long nights and dreams?" ”

Yun Shuangyu was an old man who entered the palace when the emperor got married, and in the palace at that time, although the power status was not as good as that of the Ji family, she was also ranked among the four concubines, only under the concubine Zheng at that time, and was one of the giants in the harem.

It turned out to be a quick and sloppy death......

Can Chunjia not think of himself?

If one doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Concubine Jeong-hee, then ......

So the reason why the Ji clan fell so tragically and quickly, does it have anything to do with it?

Gu Zhen took a small breath of cold air and asked in a deep voice, "So the one who forced Sister Shuangyu to death, in fact, was it the Ji family?" ”

"Yes and no." Yun Fenghuang said leisurely, "The concubine thought that at that time, no matter what she did, it was impossible to bypass the Ji family. But to say that this matter was done by the Ji family independently, it may not be. After all, His Majesty was already in charge at that time, and because of the death of the Duchess of Ye, many of Ji's children resigned from their official positions and kept filial piety, and they were at the time of weakness. In this case, even if the Ji family doesn't like Concubine Zhenxi, they won't make a move to anger His Majesty for her. ”

After all, for the Ji clan at that time, killing Yun Shuangyu would not do them any good, but would provoke the hostility and defense of Chunjia and the Yiguo Mansion, how could it be considered not cost-effective.

"However, at that time, the noble concubine Zheng, Concubine Xin, Cui and others were very suspicious of Concubine Zhenxi."

In fact, at that time, because of the short days of entering the palace and the low background, Yun Fenghuang did not understand many things forbidden in the palace, so he did not realize this.

Fortunately, at that time, the noble concubine Zheng took the initiative to come to the door and let her know a lot of inside information.

In the past two years, with the improvement of status and the expansion of horizons, some things have gradually come to pass.

At that time, Chunjia was in power, and the Ji family declined because of the filial piety of many heirs, so the powerful ministers and eunuchs who had been suppressed by the Ji family began to move.

In order to be safe, they will not rashly attack in the previous dynasty, lest things get out of control.

And the women who were sent to the harem became pawns.

In other words, it has become a pawn for a rainy day.

The former concubine and the concubine Zheng, the Cui family, including the current queen Gu Zhen, and of course, the lost Zhenxi Shufei, are all preparing for the vacancy of the rear position after the fall of the Ji family.

There is no doubt that the most feared at that time was the princess of Yiguo, Zhenxi Shufei.

In terms of status, conduct, reputation, and origin, if the Ji family loses power, it must be her who enters the Yanfu Palace.

So for the concubines who are aspiring to succeed to the throne and the family behind them, it is better for Yun Shuangyu to die.

As soon as she died, the Yun clan was left with the unfavored Yun Qingman, and Yun Fenghuan, who was inseparable from the Yun family.

Even between Yun Fenghuang and the Yun family, not only does it look like a god, but it also hides a mustard.

Thinking of this, Concubine Min glanced at the queen, "At that time, Niangniang and Concubine Zhenxi had a good relationship, but the matter is big, is there no one looking for your cooperation?" ”

Gu Zhen asked sharply: "At that time, someone took the initiative to ask you for cooperation?" ”

"When the concubine is soft-spoken, how can you have such qualifications?" Yun Fenghuan denied it, "Just thinking about it, there are not a few people who intend to want Concubine Zhenxi's life at that time, maybe no one wants to join forces, and even let Niangniang cooperate as a friend of Concubine Zhenxi?" ”

Seeing Gu Zhen shaking her head with a calm face, she smiled meaningfully, "It seems that Niangniang and Concubine Zhenxi really have a good relationship." ”

At least it's so good that everyone thinks she's not going to sell it.

If you look at it this way, Gu Zhen's life is really good.

When he entered the palace, he was protected by Yunshuang, and after Yunshuang's death, he began to emerge and attract many hostilities, and no one had the heart to target her, the unfavored Mrs. Yaoning.

Later, she became a queen by coincidence......

The opportunities between people really can't be compared, otherwise you will really be angry.

Gu Zhen couldn't help but say, "Does Your Majesty know about this now?" ”

Yun Fenghuan looked at her for a while before smiling lightly: "Your Majesty is so wise and martial, what the concubine knows, Your Majesty will not know?" ”

Seeing that the queen was silent, Yun Fenghuan smiled and said in his heart, why does Chunjia know now? Even when this happened, he may not have been clear!

The death of Concubine Zhenxi was, in a sense, deliberately permissive by the emperor.

The reason is very simple, Yun Shuang was born in a famous family and has a good reputation, if after the fall of the Ji family, it was not Yun Fenghuang who accepted the phoenix seal but her...... It can't be said that it is the next Queen Ji, that is, without Chunjia's support, relying on her family background and herself, she can preside over the six palaces.

In that case, how can Chunjia rest assured?

Orphans and widows from the distant branch, blood relatives and elders have lived in the remote Fuyang County for generations, and traveled thousands of miles to the imperial capital to hold the enthronement ceremony is a big wedding, marrying the daughters of various powerful ministers headed by the Ji family, and the teachers are carefully selected pedantic Confucian students who can't do anything except die and study, in such an environment, Chunjia, who has endured for eight years, how can he rest assured that he will be in the harem, where he rests, to a person who does not need to rely on himself?

Even if Yun Shuangyu is the concubine of the Duke of Yiguo, and the Duke of Yiguo is the first important minister to be loyal to him.

For Chunjia at that time, this move was also extremely risky.

It is far less safe than Yun Fenghuang, who is a favorite concubine who actually leaves the emperor and has nothing under the banner of the Yun family's daughter.

Otherwise, at that time, the whole palace thought that Yun Shuang's death had a lot to do with Yun Feng Huang, why did Chun Jia not take Yun Feng Huang after this Zhen Xi Shufei, who was recognized as the most virtuous and virtuous concubine, went, but became more and more favored and entrusted with important tasks?

At that time, Yun Fenghuan thought that he had calculated properly, and used Zheng Xiangchu to send away the roadblock of Yun Shuangyu, and fulfilled his own success.

Later, when he gradually came back to his senses, he suspected that all this was not in Chunjia's calculations.

He is not at ease with the Ji family, and he may not be at ease with the Yun family.

This does have the posture of a wise monarch, even if the Duke of Yiguo accompanied him through those difficult years, and even became the only hole card for him to join forces with the regent and seek pro-government, but he has always maintained the unique suspicion of the king, and he did not dig out his heart and lungs for the Duke of Yiguo because of this.

From this point of view, Chunjia's tenacity of heart is not comparable to that of the first emperor of Shenzong.

If he were replaced, he would not be able to have the glory of these three dynasties.

Yun Fenghuang imagined that Yun Shuang's mood was mostly extremely desperate and resentful, right?

It's as if she realized that Chunjia's pampering and indulgence to her is also a degree in the end, and it is by no means as the world thinks, and the kind of loss and uneasiness that suddenly falls can only be understood by those who experience it.

However, for Concubine Min, this sadness is only temporary.

After all, not only is she not the kind of person who needs the other party to put herself in her shoes before she can get by, she is also the kind of person who arranges for the other party while striving for the top.

So after recognizing the truth of Chunjia's favor, Yun Fenghuang became calm after a short period of mixed flavors.

Anyway, she didn't have a very pure love for Chunjia, and even quietly took care of Qi Jiulu...... If you don't talk about the eldest brother, it's a flat point.

At this moment, seeing the queen's lost soul, it is a little ridiculous, she has only been with Chunjia for a few years, and the queen has been in the palace for more than ten years now, why can't she figure it out?

It can only be said that some people's lives are innate.

“…… Go ahead. Gu Zhen finally said, "This palace ...... I want to be alone. ”

"Yes." Yun Fenghuang got up and retreated, stopped when he arrived at the door, and said sideways, "Since Niangniang is very good with Concubine Zhenxi, I don't know why after Concubine Zhenxi left, Niangniang never took care of Concubine Xie?" ”
