Chapter 423: The Only Chance
At this moment, Gu Zhen discussed with Yun Fenghuang, regardless of whether the Empress Dowager would not be able to live in the palace at that time, and on the birthday of the Empress Dowager of Cimu this year, she must hold a banquet and celebrate her birthday.
"If you are filial, Your Majesty will definitely approve of it." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "The concubine will definitely try her best to help her mother when the time comes." ”
Gu Zhen said: "Of course Your Majesty will approve, but I don't know the Empress Dowager herself...... Will it refuse? ”
In the past, when the Ji family was in power, in order to weaken the existence of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother as much as possible, there has always been only one Holy Birthday Festival, which is the birthday of the Shuren Ji Sheng.
Later, when the Ji family fell, the Son of Heaven could openly congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday, but the Empress Dowager always had various reasons to refuse......
So far, there has basically been no celebration of Empress Dowager Yuan's birthday.
Now that Empress Dowager Yuan has returned from the palace, her humble and kind posture is even more than before, and the probability of her refusing this matter at this time is very high.
Therefore, the queen hopes that Yun Fenghuan can persuade Chunjia and insist on congratulating Empress Dowager Yuan on her birthday.
"Niangniang, it's not that the concubine refuses to help, but do you think, the Empress Dowager was poisoned a few days ago, and it is said that it is much better now, but she has been living in a simple place, maybe the residual poison has not been cleared?" Yun Fenghuan listened, and his heart moved, just for the sake of it, "If you forcibly pinch her old man to attend the banquet, there will be three long and two short at that time, how can this be good?" ”
She looked at the left and right and saw that there were no idlers, and her voice was low, "Niangniang's mood of wanting to ease relations with the Empress Dowager is understandable." But you also know that the master may still have some affection for His Majesty. For these concubines, that's really ...... You have good intentions, but she may not be willing to reciprocate kindness! When the time comes, she will come to a phoenix body to violate the harmony, you say that the imperial doctor can still say that she is pretending in front of us? So little is not ours! ”
Gu Zhen didn't expect Empress Dowager Yuan to do this, so she couldn't help but stiffen her face and said, "Why is this so? For such a big event as the Holy Birthday Festival, His Majesty will definitely ask about it personally. Even if she doesn't give us face, won't she give face to Your Majesty? ”
"Who knows what her old man thinks? The concubine body is also a rainy day. Yun Fenghuan said softly, "In short, the concubine persuades the mother, more things are better than less things." We want to mention it to Your Majesty. But if she's not happy herself, let's forget it. ”
But the problem is that my grandfather taught me to take advantage of the effort to congratulate her old man on his birthday, and knelt down in public to admit his guilt and admit his mistakes, so as to force the "loving and amiable" mother Queen Mother to forgive the palace and forgive the Gu family!
If you don't have this birthday banquet, you will go directly to ask for sin and plead, and you will not be considered to be coercing the Queen Mother!
Gu Zhen is embarrassed.
"If the mother has to do it." Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang said again, "The concubine has some ideas, but I don't know if it will be self-defeating." ”
The queen hurriedly asked, "But I don't know what I think?" Say it quickly. ”
Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "I mentioned it earlier to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, probably because the harem was lively, and then I invited the Queen Mother's maiden relatives to come...... But there was no group of ministers to congratulate the Queen Mother. Why don't you propose to bring the courtiers with you this time. If such a loving mother and queen mother are a little ambitious, it is impossible to show her old age and decrepit state on such an occasion, otherwise, who is willing to follow one does not know when...... The nobles do things? ”
“…… But in doing so, what if she gets the hearts of the people? Gu Zhenhu looked at her suspiciously.
The concubine can't deliberately let the Empress Dowager Yuan grow her wings?
Yun Fenghuang said: "Niangniang, if the Empress Dowager is popular, what's wrong?" You must not forget that the greatest reliance of the Empress Dowager is not the line of King Fuyang, nor the identity of the Empress Dowager, but Your Majesty! Her Majesty's respect for her and can't let go, this is her biggest bargaining chip! Let's just talk about the poisoning of her at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, what do you say if Her Majesty did not leave the front harem and leave Beijing at night? Even if there are three long and two short, it is just according to the rules! This is a smart man, and he knows what His Majesty is most taboo about, and the difficulty of His Majesty's seizure of power, the least
What is reassuring is that someone is plotting against the Gongxiang clan! ”
"So when she left the palace and went to Fuyang County, although His Majesty was reluctant to let her be, he still didn't say anything about being able to keep her."
"Because of the Yuan family's behavior of confusing the royal bloodline, His Majesty violated His Majesty's taboo, and His Majesty didn't want to give people a misunderstanding that he would relax the bottom line because of his loving mother, the Queen Mother, so he sent this away in tears!"
"Now that she's back, she refuses to accept gifts from all families, let alone people."
"Does she really not want to? According to the concubine's body, in the final analysis, it is to relax His Majesty's heart! ”
"If this person really doesn't do anything in the future, then forgive the concubine, you and I will never be able to do anything with her in this life."
"She is Your Majesty's adoptive mother in the end, and she is Your Majesty's most respected elder, there is no one!"
"So instead of asking her to curl up in the mansion as a glamorous elder, and let Your Majesty always think about it, it is better to give her a chance......"
The concubine looked sideways at the queen and said calmly, "We are in the deep palace now, and we can't worry about many things, do we still have to think about her all the time?" Take this opportunity to give her a chance to show her status, and make mistakes for her...... Ruined her good impression in the eyes of His Majesty in one fell swoop, what's so bad? ”
The queen was silent, her heart fluctuated, and she felt that she had not been wronged by the impeachment over the years......
She settled down and said, "Bengong knows, but it's not a trivial matter, you let Bengong think about it." ”
Yun Fenghuan knew that she would definitely make a decision after ventilating with her mother's family, and she didn't urge: "The concubine will retire and don't disturb her mother." ”
Walking out of the Chongchang Palace, the concubine smiled slightly.
Of course, she came up with this idea with ulterior motives, but it was just ......
Whether it's the queen or the Gu family, no one can guess her true purpose!
And the result of Gu Zhen's discussion with the Gu family was that he felt that the concubine might have other plans, but the main spearhead was still aimed at the Empress Dowager Yuan.
This is also understandable, after all, the relationship between the concubine and the Empress Dowager Yuan is really not very good.
The concubine is the kind of master who likes to strike first, even if the Empress Dowager Yuan did not do anything to the Xuanqing Palace after she came back, but it did not prevent the concubine from thinking about how to kill the Empress Dowager Yuan......
"Didn't Your Majesty ask you to give the phoenix seal to Concubine Shude, and after the concubine recovered, the phoenix seal was in the hands of the concubine again?" After thinking about it carefully, Old Lady Gu told Gu Zhen, "In this case, let the concubines worry more about this banquet, and you will continue to call yourself sick, get started less, worry less, and get involved less." If something goes wrong at the table, it has nothing to do with you. ”
Even if Chunjia wants to be punished, it will be the concubines who will be punished together.
This is not the queen's business alone, Concubine Min herself will have enough excuses.
Gu Zhen naturally agreed, so he planned to wait until he arrived at the palace, and then he excused himself from being sick on the road.
However, before leaving, a new battle report came from the Northland, and Wang Shi and the main force of Wei Su's royal court fought a decisive battle, and Wang Shi won a complete victory, and also captured several wives and children of Xifa.
There is no doubt that this is a great victory.
The government and the opposition were so jubilant, and Yun Fenghuan was happy that the names of Xie Wuzheng and Xie Driyu were both on the success paperwork, and they had a lot of credit.
She specially consulted Yin Qu, and Yin Qu said that these merits have been accumulated, and if they are not discounted, when Xie Wuzheng Xie Drizzle is filial piety and settles when he enters the office, he is almost enough to take the position of the assassin in the previous state.
Such an identity already has a weak influence on the temple, rather than the kind of existence that is regarded as a deaf ear and inconsequential.
"It's just that don't be too optimistic." Yin Qu reminded Yun Fenghuan again, "There are only so many important positions and fat shortages in the court, and there has always been a radish and a pit." Niangniang covered the sky with one hand in the harem, in the former dynasty, in normal times, naturally no one dared to be disrespectful to Niangniang. But if the position sought by Niangniang's brother is the foundation of someone else's life, then ...... Niangniang also wants to know that no one is scared of anyone who can mix with this status. ”
It can't be because you're a favorite concubine,
Just honestly give way.
More likely, it's a desperate fight.
After all, it is the accumulation of people in a lifetime or even several lifetimes, who would be willing to quit?
Yun Fenghuan frowned slightly, this is the disadvantage of being from a humble background.
Everything has to be started from scratch.
If this is a child of the Yun family or the Yin family, there are already elders who have arranged various compromises and exchanges, and the upper position will naturally push the boat with the current.
But are they brothers and sisters......
Just like Yin Qu said, no matter how much you call for wind and rain in the harem, if you don't do a few battles in front of you, it is impossible for people to defeat themselves without a fight.
Slowly exhaled, Yun Fenghuang pinched his eyebrows, mentally prepared for a vicious battle in the future, and asked about the recent situation of Xie Wuzheng and Xie Driyu: "They have saved so many credits, and this palace looks at many of them as war exploits, but I don't know if it's okay now?" ”
“…… This. The person who came hesitated for a moment, and when he saw the concubine frowning, he hurriedly quickened his speech, "Back to the words of the concubine, the concubine and the eighteenth prince are now recuperating from their injuries, and fortunately, their lives are worry-free!" ”
Yun Fenghuang was originally just a habitual question, but in her mind, her two brothers were clever, especially Xie Wuzheng.
And the army also knows that the relationship between the Xie family's children and themselves should be taken care of?
In this case, as long as these two brothers pay attention to themselves, what big things can happen? After all, the dynasty is now fighting a good war!
As early as the time of Xiaozong, the dynasty defeated Wei Su. Not to mention the present after several years of civil strife in Wei Su?
"What the hell is going on?!" The concubine's heart sank, and she subconsciously sat up straight and asked in a deep voice.
"The mother is angry, this is because the horse and the eighteen sons...... Eager for revenge, there were several battles, and he took the lead, so he was injured. The man whispered, "So before this victory, there were injuries on his body that had not healed. Originally, the main general's meaning was that if they won the victory, they should not participate in it first, and it was serious to concentrate on recuperating their bodies and bones. However, the horse and the eighteenth prince refused, and insisted on going into battle with injuries...... So ......"
Yun Fenghuang had tears in his eyes, and he swallowed even more: "This palace knows." ”
She said in her heart, what a revenge heart!
Xie Drizzle is also okay, Xie Wuzheng is not unclear, who the real enemy is!
How can you risk yourself?
In the fourth room, there are still Xie Drizzle, Xie Fuwang, and Xie Li.
The big house is only one of them.
He also promised the eldest princess of Sui'an not to take concubines, not to leave the outer room, but not to succeed......
The reason why they are so desperate is that these two brothers are also anxious, eager to rise to prominence, so as to contribute to the battle for the prince in a few years!
After all, with the background of the Xie family, how could it be possible to miss the opportunity to gain this battle exploit and want to quickly rank in the court?
"And what are they going to do now?" Yun Fenghuan calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "This credit is almost the same, do you want to come back to the imperial capital to recuperate?" If so, the palace will find some reason for them......"
Because Xie Wuzheng and Xie Driyu both have a decrepit in their bodies, they can still say that they joined the army before to avenge their families, and after they are disarmed, according to the rules, they must go back to guard the house immediately.
But the person who came said: "The horse and the eighteenth prince said that Wei Su has not yet been destroyed, and he should not give up halfway because of some pain." ”
Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly and understood, although the current credit is not small, but ...... Still not stable enough. The predecessors of the Xie family did not fight for them to come up with a noble background, and now, Xie Wuzheng and Xie Drizzle must work harder, otherwise, where will the King of Jin have reliable support in the future?
This is the only remaining opportunity, Xie Wuzheng and Xie Drizzle no matter what, they must also maximize their interests.
If Wei Su's matter is not resolved for a day, even if they are through pain and pressure, they will never leave.
"......" The concubine sighed softly and said slowly, "This palace knows." ”
The hands in her sleeves clenched subconsciously, and when she turned her head, she ordered Qingren, "Fifteen is now three years old, and I can't continue to play with him." Pack up the warm pavilion and come out, and from now on, the palace will personally give him a lecture! ”
