Chapter 221: The Road to Power

"Concubine Ying is the regent's person, and we are not one in the first place, as long as the regent's face is passable, a little punishment, and if you say that there is a reason for it, even if you reprimand it plainly, it is not a big deal." Seeing Chunjia frowning, Empress Dowager Yuan thought that he was still unconvinced, and couldn't help but subconsciously soften her originally soft tone, and said seriously, "But the real concubine is not, Xiaoyun's family is from a humble background, and her family is a poor family that my son needs to vigorously promote!" ”

"In addition, the Dan Day banquet is imminent, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and the Chongyang banquet, everyone outside knows that the Ji family has lost power this time, and it will not get up for the time being. So the righteousness is in the emperor, the emperor is young and strong, what reason do they have to continue to follow the Ji family to the dark? ”

"If there is some bad news from the real concubine at this time, she knows that she is young and ignorant, and she is spoiled; I don't know, I can't help but think of Ji's head, and I think that Ji has been in power for many years, even if he is frustrated for a while, he still has to recover......"

Her voice was low, "Especially the filial piety of the Duchess of Ye Guo is about to be full, and the concubine who has been pressing the queen before this time has gone wrong, who would not have thought that it was the Ji family who won this game?" ”

Therefore, let's say that what Yun Fenghuang did this time can be big or small, even if it really caused a big disaster, on this eye, Empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia have to give her a little bit of it.

lest the Ji family seize the opportunity to make a big fuss and ruin the prestige that the mother and son have easily accumulated for most of the past half a year.

Looking at the Empress Dowager Yuan, who was full of earnest and seductive words written on her face, Chunjia was speechless for a moment before nodding and saying, "What the Queen Mother said!" ”

What else could he say?

"Don't go to anyone else's place today, just go to Xuanqing Palace." But Empress Dowager Yuan was not at ease, and told him, "Although the mourning family has issued a gag order, you also know the power of the Ji family in the palace." It's Concubine Ying, and it's not so credible...... So the mourning family stopped your words just now, and added another sentence to wait for the first month to deal with it. After all, before the feast, it is not good for the real concubine to spread any depressed news. The mourning family knows that you are tired of her being unreasonable, but at the critical moment, you are more aggrieved. When it's over, the mourning family will give you another breath, ah? ”

Chun Jia almost wanted to vomit blood, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, in fact, there is no big deal today, you said that it will be delayed until after the first month, and it will not be interesting to mention it at that time." The most important thing is that after the first lunar month, there are also many ceremonies, palace banquets, etc., which need to be handled by the real concubine, and there is no one in the palace who can replace her now. It's just a woman, a dignified child, do you still care about her? ”

As soon as it came out today, the stingy concubine was already holding a grudge.

If you settle accounts after the autumn, maybe what Yunfeng Huang will do?

Empress Dowager Yuan smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't have to worry! The reason why the real concubine is spoiled and spoiled is that she has eaten our mother and son, and she can't find a suitable person to replace her for the time being? It's just that as a prince, how many people in this world can't be replaced? In your palace, a group of people entered the wedding; At the beginning of the year, in order to prevaricate the outside world's discussion about the emperor's heir, another group of people entered, and both groups of people were made by the Ji family, so they didn't have any good intentions! ”

She raised her chin and said in high spirits, "The emperor can call the shots now, so how can the queen mother not personally find some truly virtuous and virtuous ladies for you in the spring of next year to enrich the palace?" You can't let the emperor be busy in front, and when you come back to the harem, you can't be at peace! ”

Chunjia: "......"

He tried to stop the Empress Dowager Yuan, "Queen Mother, the child has a long way to go, but it has not yet reached the point of enriching the palace again." Moreover, it has already been selected this year, and it is not appropriate to disturb the people again. ”

"Those guys

The woman of the Han family, be a plaything, that's it. Empress Dowager Yuan said kindly, "How can you serve you properly?" The mourning family plans to release some rumors at the banquet, and when the time comes, choose some help from the high-ranking families, and there are also low-level but well-behaved people, and pick a few outstanding ...... Where will this disturb the people? ”

Seeing Chunjia frowning, thinking that he was devoted to government affairs, he didn't like many things, and his voice was lowered, "Now our situation is not as good as before, such a woman who is selected in this way, if the emperor doesn't like it, it doesn't matter if he goes once in a while, just raise some idlers." As long as the position is given, and if they are promised to have no children, they can raise the heirs of the palace concubines in the future, and the family behind them will naturally be on your side! The Ji clan has been in power for many years, and its power is deep-rooted, if it only relies on promoting the poor scholars, how can it be possible to solve them for a while? ”

The Queen Mother said it tactfully in front of Chunjia.

In fact, what she wants to say is that her mother and son did not have a particularly strong help except for a righteous name, and the status of Yiguo Gong is high, but it is difficult to support it alone.

In this case, the disunity is slightly inferior to the Ji family, the Zheng family, the regent, and the Cui family, and the high-ranking families rely purely on the scholars of the Han family...... That certainly won't last long.

After all, not to mention that even if Chunjia can spare no effort to cultivate and promote, if he wants to achieve the climate, it is not an overnight effort, and how can the Ji family and his ilk give them the opportunity to develop and grow slowly? It is said that due to the loss of power of the Ji family, although the harem has not yet given birth to a standing imperial heir, it has also gone in the direction of both children and daughters.

And once Chunjia has a son, he is in a hurry, and he will directly kill the king and support the young master...... It's not impossible.

Therefore, the current situation of the Son of Heaven is no longer that he is in a hurry to plump his wings and become the master of the house, but if he does not do this, he will definitely not end well!

Otherwise, Empress Dowager Yuan had always trusted Chun Jia's ability, and she would not be so eager to give him a counselor.

"......" Chunjia was silent for a moment and sighed, "It's all the child's incompetence, and even the queen mother can't concentrate on raising her so far, but she still has to worry about the child." ”

He really wanted to say that Yunfeng Huang was a vinegar jar, and if he was left dry for a few days, he was going to do something, if he entered the newcomer next year, especially the newcomer, he would specially arrange the master who could act as the queen like her, she was afraid not to lift the table?

It's just that......

Empress Dowager Yuan was right.

He endured for eight years, and once he was in trouble, he seemed to have turned over and succeeded, but in fact, he bought himself a buffer time for more than a year.

If he can't form his own forces as quickly as possible, what awaits him will inevitably be a rapid counterattack from Ji and others.

The ally regent is unreliable, and the Duke of Yiguo is not to be feared, and the rest who support him, such as Xingningbofu, are even more insufficient...... Chunjia has considered how to go after the pro-government since the planning of the summer banquet, and Kaienke has enveloped the scholars of the poor family as the team, and the princess has promoted the outstanding ones in the name of the princess.

But it is very difficult to do this in a short period of time.

That Wei Liushou is an example.

This is a rare Lianjie Liuyuan, a famous man at home, a great Confucian, not to mention his own talent and hard work, how much effort did his family spend to push him to such a famous position in history?

Not to mention his own character and conduct, from the perspective of interests, would Wei Changkong not want to achieve a good story with Xiaozong about getting along with the monarch and ministers and turning the tide and supporting orthodoxy?

Impossible.

With such a reputation like him and such a result in the imperial examination, in fact, after winning the list, he defected to the Ji family, will the Ji family welcome him?

However, he was left to be vigorously cultivated by Xiaozong and abandoned Xiaozong at a critical moment

, originally destined to be splendid, has become a tiger.

It can be seen that this person originally wanted to make a career with Xiaozong, and the reason why he withdrew and let Xiaozong die depressed was that in the final analysis, wasn't he born too late, and after entering the office, even if the emperor tried every means to pull the bias, but before he could grow up, he was suppressed and left gloomily?

Looking at the later Cui Wan, who was stolen the limelight by Wei Changkong in Shilin at the beginning, he was obviously also from a role model, but no one remembered it at all. But it was precisely because Xiaozong's political enemies at that time focused on suppressing Wei Changkong that they didn't notice him, and gave him the opportunity to develop, not to mention, he also seized the opportunity of Xiaozong's death, Wei Changkong had already resigned, and the regent and the Ji family were intrigued, and he jumped to one of the ministers of the main power!

Therefore, the encirclement and cultivation of scholars from poor families is only a long-term consideration.

Those who can form power in the shortest time must be those who are now high-ranking families, and these families do not lack money and power, or they do not lack much. In this way, even if the Son of Heaven extends an olive branch, they may not be willing to accept it.

Even if you take it, the attitude and cooperation are very worrying.

Then the quickest and most effective is, of course, marriage.

It just so happens that there are many vacancies in the palace high positions, which are ready-made chips that can be used to win them over.

Chunjia didn't think there was anything wrong with this before, this is the usual method used by the superiors of the past generations, although it is old-fashioned, but it is effective enough, otherwise it will not be passed down to this day.

Anyway, as the Son of Heaven, he must have it in the three palaces and six courts.

What's so bad about being able to pick a boost?

But the real concubine......

Cloud Wind Fence ......

Chunjia smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that it was impossible for him to refuse Empress Dowager Yuan's proposal.

It's not just that although he has a heart for Yun Fenghuang now, which makes him obviously favor this real concubine in the three palaces and six courtyards, but it hasn't reached the point where he wants to die or live for the sake of the real concubine, and he doesn't even care about his own safety.

What's more, he knows very well that he is a puppet when he ascends the throne, no, it should be said that it is because the Ji family and his ilk need a puppet emperor that it will be his turn to ascend the throne.

Not only himself, but also the people around him.

From the Empress Dowager Yuan to the close attendants, Yun Fenghuan, who has been recognized as favored by him and repeatedly provoked the Ji family in the past few months, cannot be an exception!

Moreover, Chunjia knows very well that for Yun Fenghuang's temperament, if she wants to get her long-term companionship, she is either like Qi Jiulu, who has been a childhood sweetheart since she was a child, and she has been in love for a long time, even if she is weaker, she will eventually have a sincere bond; Or, or he is like this, crushing her from the status and power, so that she has to bend her will.

Otherwise, she will definitely turn over and become the master when she sees the opportunity, and then ...... Then whether she wants to continue honestly or not depends on her mood.

Therefore, although Chunjia knew that the reason why Yun Fenghuang was unwilling was that he did not dare to pay attention to him, it was because of the unequal status between the two, but he did not want to give her a sense of security in this regard.

First, there is no such condition at present; Second, he doesn't suppress this real concubine, who knows if she will think about something she shouldn't think about in spoils?

Although Qi Jiulu went to the Dingbei Army, after all, he was still alive, wasn't he?

“…… Everything is up to the mother. Chun Jia finally said this, looking at Empress Dowager Yuan's satisfied smile, he sighed in his heart, thinking, I will go to Xuanqing Palace later, hmm...... Anyway, what is the real concubine doing now?

Xuanqing Palace, on the Huanhua Palace, Yunfeng Huang is smashing things.
