Chapter 445: Twists and Turns
"You're too anxious." Out of the house, the Empress Dowager walked a few steps quickly, and confirmed that the people inside could not hear her words, so she slowed down and said to the queen who was supporting her, "No matter how much the emperor loves the concubine, it is impossible to say that such a big thing is just like that." The reason why I played a round just now was because I didn't want to publicize my ugliness...... Left and right a Zhaorong, a magistrate who is not an important minister, how to deal with it after the limelight is over, and it has to go wrong on the birthday of the mourning family? ”
Gu Zhen bit his lip and said in a low voice, "Daughter-in-law understands." It's just that...... Let's just leave, leaving the concubine there alone, this? ”
"It doesn't matter." The Empress Dowager said calmly, "As long as it is a fact that the Yi family has a private meeting with a foreign man, even if the concubine has a lotus tongue, the emperor can't bear to save her face at most, but there is no possibility of letting go of the adulterer's adulterer." And the concubine is a smart person, and she dares to quibble with us. In front of the emperor, she was only afraid that she would change her way to clear herself first! After all, she already has a sister who is out of the wall, and if she has a subordinate who is out of the wall, where can she be innocent? The emperor has always been wise and martial, even if he is reluctant to do anything to her now, he will definitely fall into his heart. The emperor is still in the prime of life, how old is this Xiaoyun clan? She still has some colors now, which can envelop the emperor. After a few years, the emperor will not change his mind, and some newcomers are eager to try! ”
She sneered slightly, "Neem Niang, isn't this how it went on?" ”
Although the queen wanted to say that with Yuan Neem's temperament, even if no one Yun Fenghuang stood up to win favor, it was estimated that it was unlikely to be favored for too long, but at this time, the two were barely allies, so they didn't say it, and only whispered: "My daughter-in-law knows." ”
"Are you sure it's true?" The Empress Dowager was not very relieved when she thought about it, so she stopped, turned her head, looked at Gu Zhen, and asked slowly, "Don't be smart...... Whether it is the emperor or the concubine, they are not fools! ”
Gu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and she would come to her senses, the Queen Mother suspected that she was a thief and shouted to catch a thief, and planned such a good shot to frame Yi Xingen, and hurriedly explained: "My daughter-in-law is busy with her feet not touching the ground for the sake of the birthday banquet these days, and she can't wait to split one person into two to use it, but where do you dare to mess around?" The daughter-in-law only knew about this when she heard the announcement. ”
"Yes." The Queen Mother thought for a while, bowed her head slightly, and said, "If you had this ability, you would not have been pressed by the concubine all these years." ”
It's as if your old man wasn't being crushed by the concubine......
The queen sneered and said: "It can be seen that Skynet is magnificent and negligent, this person has done too many wrong things, and it will eventually be exposed!" ”
And at this moment, in the retreat, Yun Fenghuang was kneeling in front of Chunjia and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shencheng doesn't know why Yi Shi did this?" What reason does she have to be sorry for you? ”
The Queen Mother was not present, and Chunjia's face was much more relaxed than just now.
Stretched out his hand to pull up the concubine, and said softly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you go to the banquet to accompany the children." I'll just deal with it! ”
"Your Majesty......" The meaning of the protection in the words of the Son of Heaven is very clear
Obviously, Yun Fenghuang suddenly showed a touched look, and was about to speak, who knew that Du Langu, who had been silent at the bottom, suddenly said at this moment: "Your Majesty, the concubine may not have nothing to do with this matter!" ”
Seeing the imperial concubine, they all showed a look of surprise.
Du Langu sneered, lowered his eyes and said: "It's just because the minister and Zhaorong Niangniang have a blood relationship, but for various reasons, the minister is unwilling to recognize Zhaorong Niangniang." In the past six months, Zhaorong Niangniang has been entangled in every way, and the ministers are overwhelmed. During today's banquet, Zhaorong Niangniang said that the Seven Imperial Daughters learned that they had an uncle and hoped to see their uncle, as long as the minister could fulfill the wish of the Seven Imperial Daughters, she would no longer disturb the minister. The minister believed that it was true, so he went to the appointment. Who knew that the Seven Imperial Maidens passed by in a flash, and followed Zhaorong Niangniang but still entangled with the ministers, which was noticed by the guards......"
Hearing this, Yi Xingen, who was kneeling next to him, couldn't help but be dumbfounded!
The first cloud wind fence suddenly turned back!
"You and Zhaorong are blood relatives?" Yun Fenghuang was furious in his heart, this Du Langu really didn't enter the oil and salt as Yi Xingen said!!
She endured this for a long time, set up a special bureau, and told Yi Xingen to lure her into a trap, so that she could borrow the hand of the Queen Mother to force this person to admit her blood relationship with Yi Xingen, and originally thought that it was foolproof.
After all, as a young and powerful minister, a lonely man and a widow with a beautiful palace concubine were caught, no matter how unwilling he was to admit this sister in his heart, what better way to get out at this time than to throw away the blood relationship?
In Yun Fenghuang's calculations, as long as Du Langu recognized Yi Xingen's sister here, and Yi Xingen would have to deal with him in the future, it would be impossible for him to refuse!
If he refuses, Yun Fenghuan has a way to clean him up.
As a result, this surnamed Du dared to resist at this time???
The concubine sneered in her heart, but her face showed a look of surprise, as if she didn't know it before, but at this moment she subconsciously blurted out, "Then why are you so unsightly?!" ”
When these words came out, the monarchs and ministers were stunned, Chunjia was a little ridiculous, and said a fair word for the courtiers: "Ah Huang, Du Qing's appearance is also magnificent?" ”
"......" Yun Fenghuang said with a face that was indescribable, "Your Majesty, if he is left among ordinary people, of course he can be considered upright." But compared to the Yi clan, do you think that Zhaoqing still has the Seven Imperial Maidens, this? Doesn't this look like a family? ”
Among the heirs of the Chunjia Emperors, the most beautiful is undoubtedly Zhaoqing.
However, the Seven Princesses are actually not far behind, after all, the sisters of the same father and mother, of course, the Seven Princesses are young, their eyebrows and eyes are still immature, and they are not as favored as the eldest sister, and they are not as good as the momentum. But if you want to say that the most beautiful princess in the palace, there is no doubt that it must be this pair of sister flowers.
Chunjia doesn't pay as much attention to the Seven Princesses as he does to Zhaoqing, but compared to the four princes, who can't remember the names of the imperial heirs, at least occasionally they will go to see it, just because this daughter was born well, which made him particularly impressed.
At this moment, when the concubine said this, the emperor couldn't help asking: "Du Qing and Yi are really brothers and sisters?" Or cousins?
”
Du Langu's face was expressionless, and he said slowly: "The minister and Zhaorong Niangniang are half-siblings. ”
The imperial concubine exchanged a look, and the bottom of her eyes clearly wrote "Then it's no wonder". At the same time, in his heart, he labeled Du Langu's mother as a "mediocre appearance".
Being interrupted like this, Du Langu originally prepared a series of questions, and his momentum fell, and he settled down before continuing: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that Zhaorong Niangniang had not had contact with the minister all these years, and suddenly came to the door without saying anything, and still entangled him, eighty percent of them were instructed by the concubine Niangniang, and wanted to pull the minister into his command!" ”
This is really Chunjia's good courtier!
Yun Fenghuang laughed angrily, she didn't say anything to Du Langu, she only pulled the emperor's sleeve, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that even if she is a half-brother and Yi's beauty, this Du Langu may not be able to be beastly and have thoughts that she shouldn't have for her own sister." It's better for Your Majesty to give him a death! ”
Chunjia coughed dryly: "Nonsense! ”
At the end, he said to Du Langu, "You don't have to be so suspicious, looking at the appearance of the concubine, you don't know the relationship between you." And you, as a foreign minister, may not know that although the Yi family is carried by the concubine, the concubine orders the concubine more every day, but after the Yi family is crowned concubine, she is rarely summoned. This should be a misunderstanding. ”
Knowing that Du Langu and Yi Xingen were brother and sister, the emperor suddenly relaxed.
That's right, as Yun Fenghuang estimated, in Chunjia's eyes, the capable and young Du Langu is much more important than Yi Xingen!
As long as this courtier did not betray him, as long as this courtier had a reason to keep it, then such a play would be a farce in the eyes of the Son of Heaven.
can be big or small, and the initiative to end is completely in his hands.
If you just didn't want to damage the royal reputation after the big thing happened, at this moment, you really want to turn a big thing into a small thing. As for whether Yi Xingen was ordered by the noble concubine to envelop Du Langu, the emperor thought that it was not a big deal. If not, of course he has to help the concubine speak, after all, the concubine is right in front of him, isn't it?
Even if it is, anyway, he just wants to be virtuous now.
It's not as taboo as it used to be.
So I don't want a conflict between the favored courtiers and the favorite concubine at all.
But Du Langu and Yun Fenghuan obviously didn't want to fulfill the painstaking efforts of the Son of Heaven, so Du Langu said: "Your Majesty, the minister's suspicions are well-founded!" As we all know, this birthday banquet was organized by the concubine Niangniang to assist the queen's mother, Zhaorong Niangniang is the confidant of the concubine Niangniang, and the moon is the first to get the moon near the water, how can you not know the law of the guard's patrol? If you really want to avoid people's eyes, how can you be bumped into by the guards? Moreover, the queen just sent someone to inquire during the banquet, and she also knew as soon as she asked! If the henchmen of the concubine Niangniang only have such a little means, how can she assist the six palaces over the years? ”
"Aiqing, the concubine said it, she doesn't know the relationship between you." Chunjia frowned, and without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to speak, he preemptively said, "It must be Zhaorong something."
I didn't tell the concubine about it. If so, where do you say Zhaorong knows so much? And over the years, Zhaorong has been able to stay in the palace peacefully, purely relying on the care of the concubine. But he doesn't have much talent. Aiqing doesn't want to think about Zhaorong's exhaustive strategy. ”
Yun Fenghuang was robbed of the reason by the emperor, and he was aggrieved in his heart, and he looked at Du Langu's eyes, which was a little cold.
She knew that the emperor was already suspicious of being messed with by this guy.
Not to mention the twists and turns in his life, I don't know how much work it will take to coax Chunjia when I look back...... Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang said coldly: "Your Majesty, speaking of which, Du Langu just suspects that the concubine has long known about the relationship between him and the Yi clan, and wants to use the Yi clan to coerce him!" It's just that this Du Lan Valley is too self-righteous! He is a foreign minister, he is not from a wealthy family, and he has no talents, what is it? is also thinking of his blood relatives, and it is difficult to part with him. How can you say that the concubine body is also a concubine, and it is rare to have such a thing!? ”
Chunjia persuaded: "Don't say this about Du Qing on your head, this is a courtier I am optimistic about." ”
He also said, "And Du Qing is a leader, and he is very outstanding in terms of talent and learning." ”
"Your Majesty has more courtiers who are optimistic!" Yun Fenghuang said contemptuously, "Besides, what is the list? The cousin of the concubine, the concubine's concubine, is not the concubine of His Royal Highness Sui'an, also among the top three? If you want to talk about talent, Deng Chengzhai, the quasi-niece and son-in-law of the concubine, is it worse again? ! ”
Although the marriage between Xie Meng and Deng Chengzhai has been finalized on the imperial concubine's side a long time ago, and even Yun Fenghuang has planned to dump Deng Chengzhai for a long time, but because Xie Meng was young earlier and is now filial piety, it has not been made public.
And Du Langu, as Chunjia's favored courtier, is not from a high background, and he has been released before, but he doesn't know about it.
When I hear it now, I can't help but be stunned.
He is quite self-proud, and he is very disdainful of the fact that Xie Wuzheng is also the top three.
Because the reason why Du Langu is only a role model is not that his talent is not as good as the champion, but that the imperial power was declining at that time, the Ji family controlled the government, and his master Cui Wan did not compete with the Ji family, so he had to be relegated to the second place.
If it is a real competition talent, Du Langu can be said to be worthy of anyone.
Especially Xie Wuzheng, the top three...... Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was just that the emperor was in a hurry to cultivate a group of poor disciples at that time, and he deliberately promoted it.
If it is true, Xie Wuzheng is actually a second-class level.
But Deng Chengzhai ......
To be honest, Du Langu still admires this one very much.
Although Deng Chengzhai did not enter the imperial examination at all.
However, at the beginning, Du Langu was able to be favored and enveloped by Chunjia, and it was Deng Chengzhai who took the lead.
It can be said that Deng Chengzhai has the grace of knowing him.
Du Langu looked down on Xie Wuzheng, but he didn't dare to despise Deng Chengzhai, at this moment, he heard that Deng Chengzhai had already been designated as the niece and son-in-law of the concubine, and he was a little shaken when he firmly believed that tonight's incident was Yun Fenghuan's calculations.
He pondered, if Deng Chengzhai had been
After falling to the concubine, the concubine could recruit herself through Deng Chengzhai, but why bother to let Yi take risks?
Of course, there is still a possibility...... Is it that the real target of the concubine tonight is not herself, but the queen and the queen mother?
When Du Langu was groaning, Yun Fenghuang was still talking to the emperor: "It's like this, Your Majesty has directly disposed of Yi's family." In this way, without the hub of the Yi family, no matter how much the concubine body wants to calculate this Du Lan Valley, there is nothing to do! It's just Your Majesty, this Yi clan is not a concubine who has to embarrass her, but Du Langu can't see his half-sister alive! In the future, when Zhaoqing asks the Seven Imperial Daughters, His Majesty will have to make it clear to them, and let them go to the revenge of the mother surnamed Du, and it has nothing to do with the concubine! ”
Chunjia couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "I said, this is a misunderstanding, but it has nothing to do with you. ”
Looking at Du Langu again, he frowned slightly, and said, "Du Qing, what do you think?" ”
Knowing that the Son of Heaven's patience is limited, this is a hint that he should not pursue it anymore, Du Langu hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "Minister...... Yes, sir! ”
In the end, he was unwilling in his heart, and what he said was "obeying orders", which meant that he was just following the orders of the Son of Heaven, but he didn't really approve of this.
It's just that the courtiers are quiet, but Yun Fenghuang refuses to forget it like this, and asks for Yi's to be dealt with severely: "Although the concubine brought her up with one hand, she has also had a relationship over the years, but because of this, there is absolutely no reason to harm the concubine because of her!" If you want to hate Yi, you will hate yourself, you have entered the palace to be a mother, why can't you let go of a brother who doesn't care about you at all? I don't have to add to the main palace! Anyway, in the many years since this palace entered the palace, His Majesty has never wronged a concubine like this, what kind of thing are you, and you have to bear the burden of humiliation for you? ! ”
As soon as the concubine said this, Chunjia couldn't forcibly persuade her for a while.
He said in his heart Yun Fenghuan is right, the concubine has been in the palace all these years, and I don't dare to suspect her easily, why can Du Langu suspect her lightly?
The emperor pondered, looked at Yi Xingen, frowned and asked, "Today's events are all because of you, what do you have to say?" ”
