Chapter 164: The Regent's Mansion
Yun Fenghuan in the palace didn't know that Chao Jingyou was trying to find a way to meet her, and she was discussing Gong Xiangxiao's marriage with Princess Ju (Fu) with great interest.
The fief of King Dun is far from the imperial capital, and it is not close to the king, just like the status of this vassal king in the clan, it is not the bottom group, but compared with the top group of King Zhou, there is an obvious gap.
In terms of seniority, this generation of King Jun has just taken the throne, and he is a generation shorter than Chunjia.
Although this princess is five or six years older than Yun Fenghuang, her posture is very low, and when she saw Yun Fenghuang, she was a "virtuous aunt": "...... It's not Dongxing's great-aunt and grandmother who said that we are far away in the fiefdom, but we don't know that the regent is this age, but we haven't looked at each other yet. In the past two days, our prince visited the elders, and I often heard them mention this matter, but we are of low seniority, so it is difficult to say anything. ”
"Not only are you not good at saying anything, but Your Majesty is also not easy to say before." Yun Fenghuang listened to her, she should have come to inquire about the news on behalf of the clan relatives - except for the eldest princess of Dongxing, who has lived in the imperial capital for many years, she can grasp the trend of the temple and palace in the first place, and the vassal kings are far away from the center, the news is lagging behind, and they can only pass on some important things in their daily lives, even if people come to the imperial capital now, they are not very accurate in a short time.
At this time, the eldest princess of Dongxing publicly counted the regent's step-concubine to treat the eldest son of the eldest son, although the eldest princess said that she was entrusted by the Dou family, but those who know the eldest princess know that the eldest princess missed the line when she seized the throne in Shenzong.
Although Shenzong did not do anything with her husband in the end, the Wei family also lost their sacred heart, and kept a low profile for two generations, before they judged the situation and sent Wei Hengyan into the palace, thus gradually recovering his voice in the temple.
The eldest princess of Dongxing has suffered a loss, and she has acted very steadily over the years.
It goes without saying that the Son of Heaven is a basic skill, and she never says anything to a clan relative with real power like the regent, and she doesn't dare to stand up to her elders.
Now that this is done, people with intentions naturally want to suspect that this is at least with Chunjia's acquiescence.
Otherwise, with a Dou family and a Gongxiangxiao, how could the eldest princess of Dongxing offend the regent and his wife?
The clansmen who haven't left in the imperial capital are very entangled, if they are in the fiefdom, it is enough to pretend to be deaf and dumb, anyway, no matter who wins Chunjia or the regent, the meat will eventually rot in the cauldron of the Gongxiang clan, right?
Except for a few who want to seek wealth and danger, most of the vassal kings who came from afar still don't want to wade into troubled waters.
After all, they can rush over to participate in presiding over the affairs of the clan, even if they are just watching the excitement under the banner of presiding over and being a witness, at least they all have hereditary titles.
Especially King Zhou, who is already the top of the princes, it is impossible to go any further, and the vassal king of the dynasty will have a regent, and it is unlikely that there will be a second - there is really a second place, no matter whether it is Chunjia or the current regent who is sitting on the throne at that time, this second regent estimates that the whole family will not live long.
If you fail, the consequences will be devastating.
So put in with it
The harvest can't be drawn at all, and it can't be drawn.
The problem is that they are now in the imperial capital, and if the royal uncle and nephew pinch it up at this time, if they don't express their stance and don't stand in line, who knows if they will be liquidated by the victor in the future?
Especially this pair of royal uncles and nephews are particularly cruel, a family as big as the Ji family, they will be slaughtered when they say slaughter.
After the slaughter, he was not allowed to tell the Empress Dowager, and the clansmen who visited the Empress Dowager one after another were all held by the Empress Dowager to talk about the past, and at the end of the gesture was particularly humble, please ask them to look at their own face and open their faces to the Ji family, that look like a dumb eye......
Anyway, don't offend this uncle and nephew.
If this matter is indeed from Chunjia's instructions, then they will naturally have to keep up with Chunjia, and in the name of the clansmen, interfere with Gong Xiangxiao's marriage and put pressure on the regent palace.
But if this is the eldest princess of Dongxing on a whim herself, then ...... They shouldn't be nosy.
At this moment, seeing Yun Fenghuan speak, Princess Dun listened with bated breath - this "virtuous aunt" who was younger than her smiled and said, "At the beginning, Your Majesty only practiced Zuo, and the Prince Regent went to the palace to accompany him, and at that time he was no more than two years older than you and the prince of Jun Wang, and it can be regarded as Your Majesty grew up." His Majesty's fifteenth wedding, calculating the age of the son, even if he did not get married in the first two years, the candidate for the wife of the world must always look. ”
"After all, you also know that for people like us, where can marriage happen overnight? You have to come according to the rules to be presentable. ”
"But there is no movement in the Regent's Mansion at all, and it is not that the palace has not inquired, is there any inside information or something? But His Majesty knocked on the side several times, and the regent did not answer. His Majesty's biological father and heir father have gone early, and he has always regarded the regent, his uncle, as close to his elders. Seeing that the regent was like this, he was afraid that there would be something difficult, so he didn't ask any more questions. ”
"In the end, Your Majesty is a junior, and this kind of thing is not easy to say."
Princess Ju pondered the meaning of this, the emperor is a junior, so it is not good to urge her uncle and aunt to marry her cousin, not because she doesn't want to open this mouth...... So, is it true that the Son of Heaven is in favor of marrying a wife for the Prince Regent's son?
She pursed her lips, smiled and flattered a few words, and inquired in a roundabout way, is there a candidate for his cousin and daughter-in-law in the heart of the Son of Heaven?
But this time, Yun Fenghuang didn't give a more definite answer, only like the eldest princess of Dongxing, emphasizing the dignity of Gongxiangxiao's identity, this is the only male heir among the blood relatives of Emperor Shenzong!
How could his wife not be searched?
Ordinary famous ladies are definitely not eligible to be selected!
"Your Majesty is good to the Prince Regent." After a long time, he sent away Princess Dun, and Yun Fenghuang went to see Chunjia and hated him, "For fear that the regent will be picked up by his stepconcubine, he deliberately chose a low-born wife for him." It's just that Lu Chuncao was stripped of the title of Marquis of Qingping, but don't let the regent help because of marriage. ”
Chunjia smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, if he planned to use this world to marry Gaomen and win over his arms, he would have done this a long time ago, and he could still delay it until now?" The reason why he has not given it
The marriage of the son, I'm afraid I just don't want the marriage of the son to be too good. ”
"Oh?" Yun Fenghuang asked with interest, "Why is this?" Could it be because of the instigation of the step-concubine? But how can the prince be the eldest son of the regent, it is said that the regent and the previous concubine used to be very affectionate, even if the Si people have gone, don't you miss this little bit of affection? ”
"Where do I know about the affairs of Uncle Wang's mansion?" Chun Jia snorted slightly, "However, when I ascended the throne, the concubine had already passed away, so I have never seen the scene of Uncle Wang's love with the concubine." But in my opinion, Uncle Wang's relationship with his step-concubine is not shallow, otherwise he would not have added anyone to the backyard after marrying his step-concubine. After so many years, the step-concubine gave birth to a child for Uncle Wang, and Uncle Wang didn't even think about accepting more concubines, so as to give the bloodline of the first emperor of Shenzong and spread the branches. ”
There was a bit of ridicule in these words, and Yun Fenghuan was a little surprised when he took a closer look, and whispered: "Is Your Majesty sure about this?" ”
"Where is there anything certain and uncertain? Can I still ask Uncle Wang to stay and check my pulse in front of me? Chunjia asked rhetorically, "It's just that I feel that from Shenzong to Xiaozong, and then to Uncle Wang, all of them have thin heirs, so I'm a little worried." ”
Yun Feng said in his heart, I am afraid that you wish the regent died soon, what are you worried about?
However, she also felt strange that the regent was from a noble background but was very affectionate with the concubine who was not very high-born, which was nothing, and the death of the concubine was particularly critical, which is understandable.
But when Concubine Yuan was there, the regent gave up because he loved his wife and the backyard was clean.
Lu Jifei made it clear that she was married for political purposes, but in this case, his backyard was still deserted...... It's just confusing.
Even if the regent is not the emperor, he can't take out too many positions with formal jade plates to envelop the high gate, but according to the specifications of ordinary vassal kings, there can be two more side concubines under the main concubine. This seat arranges Luo Hanyi Ouyang Fusu's noble daughter at that level, and she may still be a little wronged, but the arrangement of the concubines of these two families, or the concubines of the side branches, is almost the same.
After all, Gongxiang Ruoji is not an ordinary vassal king, is he?
As a result, the regent only married the righteous daughter of the Marquis of Qingping, which ...... It really makes people feel that this regent's style is a bit anticlimactic.
You have forced Yuan Pei to death, just to change Lu Chuncao???
Or is Lu Chuncao a capable and protective eunuch who helped his daughter hold the regent?
Well, there is also a possibility that the regent does not want to accept concubines and marry many families in order to strengthen his prestige, but it is inconvenient for him to do so. As for why it is inconvenient, the most likely reason is that he may have some hidden diseases or something...... But over the years since Concubine Lu entered the door, she also gave birth to a little prince?
Linked to the fact that Gong Xiangzhen has never appeared in front of people, Yun Fenghuang can't help but have a dark guess, that is, maybe this so-called little prince just came up to cover up the regent's "no".
In fact, it is unknown whether there is this little prince, or whether it is really the blood of the regent.
But if that's the case, that
The regent has no reason to snub Gong Xiangxiao, let alone cultivate him!
It's impossible to even be in the sky...... No, no, no, this is impossible, if the regent does not have a real heir at all, what is he taking such a big risk to fight for the throne?
Yun Fenghuan calmed down and stopped himself from continuing to think like this: "What Your Majesty said is, it's just that this matter, as a junior, it's not good for you to tell the regent, do you want to take advantage of the fact that the clan relatives are here and ask a few elders to care?" ”
She thought that since Chunjia had said this kind of speculation, no matter whether the Shenzong lineage was really a little difficult in terms of the heirs, it was estimated that she would use this to suppress the regent.
Anyway, it is a fact that the three heirs of the father and son, the filial piety of the god sect and the regent, are scarce.
Unless the regent immediately took ten or eight concubines and let them conceive within a few months, this rumor would not be believed if it spread too much...... In terms of Chunjia's temperament, he must have done such a heart-wrenching thing.
But Yun Fenghuang didn't want to get wet.
She is not the little palace concubine when she just entered the palace, and she needs to be in a position where the sword is biased.
I don't want to be entrusted with this matter by Chunjia, so I should push it to the clansmen to pull hatred.
"How can you say such a thing?" However, Chunjia didn't seem to mean this, and shook her head slightly, "But you and I just discussed a few words in the room alone." After all, Uncle Wang still has two sons, and the first emperor Xiaozong succeeded me without a child. If this word spreads, won't even the first emperor of Xiaozong be criticized? ”
"Your Majesty is really pure filial piety." Yun Feng said in his heart, it seems that you still have a little bottom line, well, maybe you think, it's not good to anger the regent so much at this time?
Anyway, she didn't believe that Chunjia's filial piety to Xiaozong could be so great, and she loved the house and Wu to the regent.
was thinking about whether to change the topic to talk, so he heard Chunjia say: "By the way, I heard that you haven't been to the Spring Palace in the past few days?" ”
“…… Does Your Majesty feel that the concubine has neglected the Queen Mother? Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows and said, "But look at the past two days, Concubine Xuan and the others are all lining up to get in front of the Empress Dowager Cimu, and the concubines are too late to deal with them when they see the Empress Dowager Cimu, where do you dare to cause chaos again?" ”
Concubine Xuan is usually very respectful to the Empress Dowager, but the recent courtesy is of course for the succession to the throne.
Yesterday, Queen Ji had already written a letter of apology, because she did not find such a poisonous woman as Lu Qidao during her time as the queen, so that many imperial heirs, palace concubines and even concubines, including herself, were poisoned.
As the lord of the middle palace, she has an unshirkable responsibility, so she took the initiative to ask the emperor to surrender her guilt.
The emperor said on the spot that he couldn't bear it, was reluctant, and his wife refused to go three times.
According to the tacit agreement, the queen will have to petition at least twice in the future, and the wording must be more sincere and sincere each time, and the emperor will have to refuse until the third time before he ...... Go and ask the Queen Mother to call the shots.
After it is over, he will "tearfully endure the pain" to abandon Ji Lingzi and send him to the Shanyuan Temple to practice.
…… After the normal abolition, it was actually not so troublesome, and the reason why it was performed like this this time was because the destruction of the Ji family was too bloody.
So even everyone
Everyone knows that it is impossible for the Ji family to continue to be the queen, and they all know the real reason why Ji Lingzi was deposed, but on the scene, the charter has to go like this, and the history books can record it with confidence, Chunjia is a true, tolerant, kind, and wise gentleman.
Empress Yuan is already waiting to step down, but there is still no obvious weather vane.
Concubine Xuan, can they and their families not be in a hurry?
It's not good for them to go directly to Chunjia and ask Your Majesty if you plan to set up a concubine as your successor, or which sister do you plan to appoint...... Then, of course, it is to work the Empress Dowager Yuan.
Yun Fenghuang was unhappy at this moment: "The concubine is sympathetic to the hard work of the Empress Dowager, how can she become a concubine in the eyes of Your Majesty?" ”
"I haven't said it yet, why are you wronged?" Chunjia smiled helplessly, "Do you know that they have been looking for their mother recently?" The queen mother hasn't seen you, so don't you have to ask? I thought you were stumbling over something. ”
The voice was low, "You are also stupid, why should you be left behind when they are all gone?" I didn't want to move just a few steps, I don't know, I thought you were separated from your mother. ”
Yun Feng said in his heart, this palace and the old woman are tired of each other, and they are still alive, when have you ever been affectionate?
Besides, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui think that they can change the queen if they are diligent in running the Spring Palace, of course they are full of energy, she knows that there is no benefit, why bother with this?
Moreover, she also suspected that it might not be a good thing for Empress Dowager Yuan to mention herself to Chunjia.
With such vigilance, Yun Fenghuang snorted and said: "Okay, Your Majesty has said so, the concubine will go to disturb the Empress Dowager of Mercy." ”
