Chapter 176: Dilemma
Chunjia didn't know that Empress Dowager Yuan secretly gave him three days to think about it, so he returned to the Taichu Palace, sat quietly for a while and began to review the chapters.
Because I went to Xuanqing Palace and Chunyu Palace on this day, I didn't summon the concubines at night, but stayed in front of me to work overtime to take care of government affairs.
Lying alone in the dormitory at night, I wondered how to solve this problem.
Since he, the queen of Yuan's mother, is not his own mother, he has always told him that things are gentle and gentle, and he rarely speaks harshly, let alone commanding. They all use the tone of discussion, leaving enough room for mediation, lest one bad one fall into the wrong place.
Although they get along all year round, especially in the difficult years since they ascended the throne, the mother and son have supported each other together, and the relationship is extraordinary.
Empress Dowager Yuan has become accustomed to treating Chunjia with such a soft attitude.
But if she is resolute, it means that this is the time when she will never budge.
Can be cloudy and windy...... And is he willing to swallow his anger?
Since she stabbed this matter in front of Chunjia, and asked for death by retreating, she obviously wanted the emperor, or Empress Dowager Yuan, to give her an explanation.
Before Chunjia put the blame on the head regent, Yun Fenghuang seemed to believe it, but the imperial concubine knew in her heart that this was just a tacit understanding, in fact, they all knew in their hearts who the real culprit was.
According to this tacit understanding, Chunjia will give Yun Fenghuan a compensation on behalf of Empress Dowager Yuan, and this matter will be reluctantly over.
As a result, now the meaning of the Empress Dowager Yuan is not to reward but to depreciate.
How do you accept that it's called Yunfeng Huang?
It is true that if Chunjia must follow the Queen Mother, Concubine Xian can only accept it if she wants to.
But he couldn't bear it.
When the emperor was thinking about the best of both worlds, Yun Fenghuang was also using his brains to think of a way: "The wedding of the two eldest princesses is imminent, Ming'er will send someone to His Majesty's side to say something, let the twenty-first brother come into the palace, and tell the palace how the wedding preparations are going, so as not to neglect the golden branches and jade leaves." β
Qingren said: "Didn't we just meet at a banquet yesterday? β
"Where did you make it clear at that time yesterday?" Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "And the twenty-first brother is a blood relative of this palace, even if this palace is now the imperial concubine, can't you see it?" β
ββ¦β¦ The maid didn't mean this, the maid just felt that the Queen Mother was already dissatisfied with the mother, and if the mother had to summon the twenty-first son at this time, I was afraid that the Queen Mother would be more and more displeased. β
Yun Fenghuang just sneered: "The Empress Dowager is not pleasing to the eyes of the palace left and right, but why should the palace care about her thoughts?" Moreover, do you think that if the palace does not summon the twenty-first brother at this time, the Empress Dowager will think that the palace is a good one? β
"Mother and Empress Dowager are elders...... Qingren said in a low voice, "You are wronged, coax a little ......"
"If she was that kind of coaxing elder, this palace would have coaxed her, but is she?" Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes and said lightly, "It's all come to this."
Why don't you understand? She is now murderous to the palace, and she wants the palace to die - don't think that the eldest princess of Sui'an is about to descend Xie can sit back and relax, not to mention that the eldest princess has never fallen for a day, there are variables for a day, even if the eldest princess has declined, and even the child has been born, so what? β
"Do you think that the eldest princess of Sui'an can speak in front of His Majesty and the two queen mothers, or do you think that Concubine Shen can speak?!"
"The palace is here, but the Xie family is here, but the Xie family is here, but it can't protect the palace - as long as the palace is a little weak at this time, it will not be an army if it retreats again and again! When the time comes, there will be no good end to this palace, do you think the Xie family can have a good ending? β
Qingren immediately knelt down: "The servant has no intention of letting the mother wronged herself for the Xie family!" β
Yun Fenghuan didn't look at her, and said with a cold face: "If the Xie clan can get up, it will be beneficial to the palace, but isn't it the Xie clan himself who gets the benefit first?" If the palace started to do low and small from the day he entered the palace, he didn't know how to fight or rob, and he would have been swept away by a broken grass and thrown in the mass grave a long time ago, and there would still be today? ! β
"What do you have to do in this palace to be able to live well, this palace knows better than you!"
"So it's good to be honest and obedient, don't think about pointing fingers at this palace, it's really so powerful, why don't you recommend you to Your Majesty, and also go from the palace concubine to the fourth concubine to the palace?"
The Qing people didn't dare to raise their heads when they were scolded, and the attendants around them were silent, afraid and afraid to intercede, and after a while, they still relied on the youngest and timidly came up to persuade: "Niangniang is angry, the maids grow up Xie's family, and they don't see much of the world, so they are stupid in their words, and they all want to think about Niangniang in their hearts, and they don't have any other meaning." β
"It's okay if you have other meanings, it's not the same time now, and now this palace is also out of the palace in this palace, and there are more people who want to serve this palace." Yun Fenghuang sneered unceremoniously, "If you still remember the Xie family, this palace can let you go back anytime and anywhere, just to vacate the quota to promote those who only have this palace in their hearts." β
So everyone knelt down, trembling and saying that they would never dare to think so, they had been looking at you since the day they entered the palace, and they really didn't think about Xie.
Yun Fenghuan smiled, noncommittal, and went into the room by himself.
The waiters who were thrown down didn't dare to get up, so they knelt all night, and the next morning, Concubine Xian got up and dressed up, and then casually let them calm downβthinking in their hearts, after such a beating, these people should remember that their master was her Yunfeng Huang alone, not the Xie family?
Because it was born in the Xie family, and the family was still in the hands of the Jiang family, the Qing people would occasionally stand in the entire Xie family, including Yun Fenghuang, and consider the problem.
It's not that they deliberately do this, but Yun Fenghuang has always shown that he cares about the Xie family very much, and they can't help but feel that Yun Fenghuang and the Xie family are originally one.
But Yun Fenghuang noticed that he was already tired of it, and when he had the opportunity, how could he not have a seizure?
And next, she also has to promote some palace people from below to her side, so that the Qing people know that she doesn't have to use them.
On this day, Chen Zhu was ordered to go to the Taichu Palace to mention to Chunjia that Concubine Xian wanted to see her mother's brother, if Chunjia was usually a regular person, she would definitely have to interrogate her, after all, she had just met at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, didn't she? What's going on to be so anxious to see each other again?
But Chun Jia now has something in his heart, and he has no time to think about it, so he responds casually, but the words that Chen Zhu specially memorized are useless.
Chen Zhu was careful, and when he went back to the Huanhua Hall to recover his life, he told Yun Fenglian.
Yun Fenghuang's face became gloomy, and he asked him to go out and pass the word: "Let the twenty-first brother of this palace come to see him as soon as possible." β
In his heart, he groaned, Chunjia is quite deep in the city, otherwise it would be impossible to cultivate under the nose of the Ji family for those years, and he is definitely not a person who can't save things.
Since Chen Zhu, who was absent-minded, could see it, it was either a very important matter, or it was deliberate.
The former is not easy to guess, because if it is a major military event, it is difficult for Yun Fenghuang, a concubine who does not have a strong mother's family, to know; But if it's deliberate...... That should be to use Chen Zhu to make her, a virtuous concubine, aware of it.
In other words, most of this matter has something to do with her.
So what is it?
Eighty percent of her complaint yesterday?
Empress Dowager Yuan doesn't want to give compensation? This is expected, in fact, Yun Fenghuang didn't expect to directly ask for any benefits or explanations, so whether Chunjia is not an elder who is better than his mother, Yun Fenghuang is safe and sound, and he didn't even have a surprise surprise...... What can Chun Jia do with Empress Dowager Yuan?
Her purpose was to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, so that the Empress Dowager Yuan understood that she had seen the design of the Empress Dowager, and stabbed Chunjia.
Therefore, if there is something similar against her in the future, even if there is no evidence, Empress Dowager Yuan will be the first suspect.
At the same time, he won Chunjia's pity and guilt.
If that's the case, even if Chunjia can't appease her openly, can't she coax her in private?
For example, the edict and the archway for the Jiang family.
It's not easy to stop this kind of Empress Dowager Yuan if she wants to.
That should be...... Not only did Empress Dowager Yuan not want to compensate, but she also intensified her demands that made Chunjia feel tricky?
He couldn't persuade the Queen Mother, so he tested Yun Fenghuan to see if Yun Fenghuan was willing to give in?
Yun Fenghuan supported his cheeks, sat alone in the main hall for a long time, and finally ordered someone to prepare and go to Taichu Palace.
At the same time, in the Qiongfang Palace, the attendant was persuading Gu Zhen in a low voice: "...... If you don't agree, will it be a good thing to continue to consume it like this? Look at Concubine Xian, it has only been a few days since she entered the palace, and she has already arrived at you. Concubine Xuan and they will be late to enter the palace, who will take our Qiongfang Palace in their eyes? Niangniang is also the old man at His Majesty's wedding, is she willing to be so wasteful for the rest of her life? β
Gu Zhen frowned: "If it's just the family mentioning it, I will definitely listen to the family." But about this, a few days ago, Concubine Xian also vaguely revealed the rumors...... I just think, I'm afraid it's not good. β
"What's not so good
οΌ The attendant asked puzzledly, "This successor, the four Luo's families, all dream of it, Your Majesty is willing to give it to you, what are you not satisfied with?" β
"Your Majesty has been dormant for years, and the kindness has been given to Concubine Shu and Mrs. Chunke, and after the pro-government, all the favor was given to Concubine Xian." Gu Zhen said, "I don't have much affection for me. In this succession, he went to Concubine Xuan's four families first, but he wanted to backtrack and give it to us, don't you think there is fraud in it? According to his preference, shouldn't Concubine Xian be considered first? β
The attendant sighed: "Even if Your Majesty wants to give it, can the previous dynasty agree to the origin of the virtuous concubine?" β
Moreover, "Our family is not unaware that Your Majesty is actually aiming at the Dingbei Army and digging the corner of the regent, so he wants to make you his successor." But so what? You also know the situation of several sons and grandsons in the family, it's not that you don't care about it, you don't work hard, but there is Luo Tieyi in front and Qi Jiulu in the back, none of them came out of the Jiangmen family, but they all compared our sons and grandsons...... In this case, the title of Earl Zhaowu can continue to be passed on, but the Dingbei Army is not! β
If there is no Dingbei Army, Zhao Wubo's momentum will definitely plummet.
Before, although the Gu family was unwilling, they couldn't help it. After all, who told them that they have no successors, and their heirs are all hard-working but not talented enough to take on great responsibilities?
Therefore, you can only pick and choose among candidates like Luo Tieyi Qi Jiulu to see if you can form a good fate and keep it for later.
But now, Chunjia gave them a new choice: on the condition of persuading Zhao Wubo to abandon the regent and take refuge in Chunjia, Gu Zhen was appointed as the successor, and promised to be Gu Zhen's stepmother, the prince of Hanwei, as the heir!
According to the practice of the dynasty, as long as the queen is established and there is a son in the main palace, whether it is a named son-in-law or a biological son-in-law, anyway, the heir recognized by the national law, then this prince is in the East Palace, as a matter of course!
If the emperor wants to change the son of a favorite concubine, some of them are short-tempered or want to leave a name in history and die on the Jinluan Palace!
The Gu family didn't have the ambition to be the next Ji clan, and they didn't have that ability...... I just want to rely on being a descendant for a few more generations.
They thought the deal was very good, and they took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to ventilate Gu Zhen's close attendants, thinking that Gu Zhen would be very happy, but this Mrs. Yaoning ...... But don't approve of it?
The attendant is a headache: "The reason why Concubine Xian has such a tone with you should be what Your Majesty meant." What are you worried about? The servant said something unpleasant, even if you are the successor, it is still a virtuous concubine who is in power, so what is the loss of now? β
Your current Mrs. Yaoning is not necessarily beautiful!
When I see Concubine Xian, I have to salute and say goodbye!
Even if you are a queen, even if you are in the air, see you on the scene, is it nice to ask her to say hello to you?
