Chapter 255: Ouyang Yanran
"And then?" Looking at his eldest grandson, Ouyang Yanran asked very calmly, "The old man still has a little thin face in front of His Majesty, and the granddaughter-in-law is also from the Xie family, so she can indeed intercede for Concubine Shu this time, so that she can escape from the concubine's calculations...... But, what about after that? ”
The eldest grandson was stunned and said, "After that...... Could it be that the concubine will not target the concubine after that? ”
"Why not?" Ouyang Yanran sighed slightly, "What did we do to show favor to the concubine, not only to let the concubine of the main sect marry her sister, but also to make Fu Lu obey her words and support her clearly?" It was because the old man had just returned to the court at that time. Although it was immediately reused by His Majesty...... But you should know what happened at that time! At that time, the Ji clan was still there, and His Majesty's main energy was on dealing with the Ji clan. After the fall of the Ji family, who knows if His Majesty still needs an old man? ”
After all, Chunjia was the first to be able to govern himself, except for the support of Yiguo Gong, the confidants of the secret contact were all young courtiers of the same age such as Deng Chengzhai and Du Langu.
And what about Ouyang Yanran?
Not only is he old, but the key is that he is an old minister from the time of filial piety, not a descendant of Chunjia.
Chunjia is not the kind of innocent son of heaven, he is not used because of his loyalty to Xiaozong, but mainly because of his grievances with the Ji family, to be precise, it is his hatred of the Ji family, and the Ouyang family behind him, Su is friendly with the Luo family, the Meng family, the Yin family, and the joint forces, can calm the aftermath of the Ji family's fall as quickly as possible.
Ouyang Yanran was born when he was a god sect, and he was also a courtier of the three dynasties, among which Xiaozong and Chunjia were both important ministers.
Such an experience, where is it not clear that it is the common taboo and habits of the monarch?
At the beginning, Chunjia summoned him back to the court, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility...... When the Ji clan fell, it was not impossible to get rid of him immediately and replace other courtiers with other courtiers.
Especially the subject at the beginning of the spring of Chunjia's eighth year, it was the first time that Chunjia personally took charge of the spring festival in the true sense.
Who were the people chosen?
Among the best, except for the Yun family, who has always been loyal to the emperor, there is no one from a high-ranking family!
Champion Wang Linglai is even just after the businessman!
Although the Ji family was still there at that time, the Son of Heaven was worried that he would be mixed in by the Ji family's henchmen, so he chose the consideration that the children of the poor family could be promoted vigorously, but it can also be seen that this Son of Heaven is successful, and it is impossible for him to let the famous family develop.
How could Ouyang Yanran not worry that she would cross the river and tear down the bridge?
Although he also knows that as a meritorious veteran of the discipline, and he thinks that Xiaozong is famous for his loyalty, even if Chunjia doesn't use him, he won't say what to do with him, but will give him a false title or something to let him be honored, and Ouyang's lintel will still recover a lot of vitality in the end. But after tasting the taste of power, and wandering in a remote place for many years, when he was approaching his twilight years, he finally returned to this splendid court again, how could he be willing to solve the Ji family and go to retire?
That's why there is a private alliance with the concubine.
The concubine needs the support of the important ministers in the temple, but what about Ouyang Yanran? He needs the concubine's help to speak nicely, and when Chunjia wants to replace him, at least ventilate the news, so that he can respond and snipe at the opponent.
As for Concubine Shu's situation...... That's all secondary.
Since Ouyang Fu's competition was followed by the picking of fruits, the Ouyang clan has no hope of becoming a descendant, and Ouyang Yanran has not considered relying on the grace of his own girls in the harem to live at all.
This is not only that Ouyang Fu has not been able to get the emperor's favor since he entered the palace, but also because he knows in his heart that the blood stains of the Ji family's lesson have not dried, and the emperor is a shrewd person.
Even if it is chosen, it is estimated that it is the same as the Gu family now, a noble family that has gone uphill, and cannot rely on the identity of a relative to threaten the imperial power.
In this case, what else does Ouyang Yanran expect from Concubine Shu?
Concubine Shu is not liked by the emperor, that is still a good thing, if Concubine Shu is favored by the emperor like the concubine...... Look at the Xie family, Chunjia's eighth year list, the Xie family and the in-law Jiang family, there are also so many children who have won the rankings.
There is even a talented and beautiful colt who is full of love and righteousness.
At that time, the Xie family was once famous, and the high-ranking families all extended an olive branch of marriage, who didn't think that this family was about to rise?
The result?
The Xie family has been silent in the past two years, and its reputation is not as good as it was back then!
Is it that they don't work hard? Did the concubine fall out of favor? In the final analysis, it is the emperor's meaning.
Because he dotes on the concubine but does not intend to abolish the concubine, he can connive at the concubine's wanton behavior in the harem, and even acquiesce in the concubine's disrespect for the queen and the empress dowager, but he will not let the Xie family have even the slightest possibility of rising to prominence in the previous dynasty.
In this way, he can rest assured that he will be able to pamper the concubine.
If Concubine Shu was a noble concubine, Ouyang Yanran was afraid that she would not be violently killed.
In short, the alliance between the Ouyang clan and the noble concubine is better said to be the alliance between Ouyang Yanran and Yun Fenghuang.
Other marriages and concubines' refuge ...... It's all incidental.
But now that it has been two years since the fall of the Ji family, the emperor not only did not send Ouyang Yanran away, but became more and more dependent. Then even if Chunjia didn't hint at it, Ouyang Yanran would find a chance to break it up with the concubine. After all, as an old minister who has been hairpinned for generations, he knows very well that as a minister of the humerus, being friendly with the emperor's favorite concubine is definitely not a scene that the Son of Heaven wants to see. Not to mention that Chunjia does not plan to arrange for Yun Fenglian to enter Qingci Palace, even if he has this intention, he is not on the verge of death, and the quasi-queen mother and quasi-new monarch who have been left behind need the support of the old ministers.
The emperor is in the prime of life, and the prince has not yet been established, at this time, there are important ministers who have close contacts with the harem, so what does he think?
Ordinary sons of heaven are suspicious, not to mention Chunjia, a master who has been trembling for eight years in the hands of his relatives?
Of course, there is another most important reason why Ouyang Yanran broke up like this, that is, he joined forces with the concubine for his own status and power, and now that his position is stable, of course there is no need for the concubine.
Especially the concubine is not the future queen mother with the emperor's acquiescence, can he not consider that in case the emperor dies, he may arrange it for the concubine, so as not to make the evening scene of Yunfeng Huang bleak, but there should be no spare time to arrange it for the Ouyang family......
He continued to support the concubine, how could he not worry about the Gu family's resentment?
“…… A few days ago, someone proposed to establish a reserve, so he gave the old man a wake-up call. Ouyang Yanran said lightly, "If you don't take advantage of the time to part ways with the concubine, is it possible, and we will discuss it after the prince is established?" The ambition of the concubine is well known. Although this person is not from a high background, he has a high spirit. From the moment he entered the palace, there was not a day when he kept to himself. Before, he only raised King Qin, who was recorded in the name of Concubine Zhenxi, and he was still competitive everywhere. Now that he has given birth to his own fifteenth prince, how can he not covet the position of the prince? If Your Majesty also has this meaning, maybe it is worth our family to support her. But apparently His Majesty did not mean this...... All the grace of the concubine comes from Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty has no intention, she will not succeed! ”
"Then when she snatches the throne clearly, if we are still with her. Wouldn't you have to take on this grudge too? What's in it for our family? ”
"So let's just leave it at that."
His children and grandchildren all agreed with this judgment, that is, the Ouyang clan wanted to break up with the concubine.
The question is: "Then you can't make her force the lady to death!" ”
Although Ding Xingwang, a member of the Ouyang family, has no shortage of talented and beautiful daughters, Ouyang Fulu was able to be selected to compete for the next generation, and he is naturally the most outstanding among the girls who seem to be the age.
No matter how much everyone values interests, people can be ruthless, looking at the blood and blood that grew up, and they didn't make mistakes, they were so dragged by the family...... Where can I bear it?
"Fu Lu ......" Ouyang Yanran looked at their eager faces, pondered for a moment, sighed softly, and said, "It's a good thing that you value your own blood and blood so much, Fu Lu is the granddaughter of the old man's own grandson, the old man...... How can you bear it? But this time, our family can only grieve her! ”
He explained slowly, "The concubine is a smart person, and she knows very well in her heart because of our separation with her. For Fu Shoes, one is because she can't deal with our family, so she can only use Fu Shoes to vent her anger; The second is for Liwei! After the palace change, although His Majesty still loves the concubine, people with a discerning eye can also see that the concubine is afraid that the future is not bright. Even if His Majesty selfishly canonized the fifteenth prince as rich, how can he compare with the prince no matter how favored the vassal king is? The concubine can't use other bargaining chips to win people's hearts now, so she can only make others afraid of her and have to listen to her! ”
"In this case, if we take action to protect the blessings...... The concubine must be furious and refuse to give up! ”
"Don't forget that she is still in confinement, and because of the premature birth before, Your Majesty was once furious...... Your Majesty, you have true feelings for her. ”
Ouyang Yanran sighed lightly, "The old man's position in the DPRK is quite stable now. But...... If the concubine is ruthless and wants to embarrass the old man, it will certainly wear down His Majesty's patience with her, but His Majesty will most likely agree! Do you think that our family wants to force the concubine to that point for the sake of happiness? sacrificing a blessing, the concubine's face is covered, and she still has to plan for the fifteenth prince, so she will no longer do anything against us, especially the old man's current status; Otherwise, after the matter is big, it will not be good for the concubine, and for us, how can we get out of it? ”
The children and grandchildren of the Ouyang family look at me this time, I look at you, and they are silent.
Between the concubine and Ouyang Fusu, of course, they chose their own blood and bones.
But......
If between Ouyang Yanran's status and Ouyang Fu's, they ...... In the end, the former was chosen.
After all, as far as the lintel of the Ouyang family is concerned, the girl enters the palace and becomes a mother, at most it is the icing on the cake, and the prosperity of the court is of little substantive help, unless it is the same as the previous Ji family, there is a queen mother.
It was Ouyang Yanran...... But how can the current pillar of the Ouyang clan be damaged?
Chaise...... Thinking of the concubine Min Guifei in the palace who ordered Chunjia to personally come forward to defend it again and again, and even the two queen mothers left Fuyang County without damaging the emperor's favor, everyone's faces were a little complicated.
Who would have thought that the little-known little Baolin back then would be able to come to this day?
"Grandfather, what if the concubine refuses to stop after forcing the concubine to death?" After a short silence, the eldest grandson of the Ouyang clan said in a low voice, "After all, Concubine Min has always been eager to repay her, even if she has to consider the fifteenth prince, she can ...... The nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change......"
Ouyang Yanran said indifferently: "No, even if Concubine Min doesn't know how to measure, Your Majesty will not sit idly by." Do you think Your Majesty doesn't know about our dealings with Concubine Min? Not to mention anything else, it's not a secret that your brother's daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Xie family. Your Majesty is wise, and he does not abolish the public because of personal interests. This is our husband's plan to dismantle the gang, although this is what His Majesty is willing to see, but Concubine Min is angry, and he poisoned Concubine Shu, even if His Majesty does not approve, he can still turn a blind eye. But if the concubine has to be unforgiving in the future, His Majesty will naturally watch her and not let her go too far...... The old man said that although His Majesty does not want to abolish the concubine, he has affection for the concubine. ”
He sighed lightly, "So, Your Majesty will never let the concubine do something out of control, understand?" ”
Chunjia didn't want Yun Fenghuang to be the queen mother, but he didn't want to go by himself, and this concubine, who was loved by thousands of people in front of him, would be cleaned up by others.
Therefore, he will personally watch Yun Fenghuan, and he will not be too decisive and have serious consequences...... He will directly block it.
