Chapter 245: Pressing Forward
Because Yun Fenghuang was not from a high-ranking family, due to the emperor's suppression, as well as the talents and abilities of his own blood relatives, the Xie family has not seen any improvement so far, so he pays great attention to encircling courtiers.
For example, Ouyang Yanran and Yin Qu, who are already important ministers in the emperor's heart, not to mention, Meng and Luo, who were once enemies but have the possibility of becoming important ministers, Yun Fenghuang has actually had the idea of winning over in recent years.
But in the past two days, she woke up again, Ji Lingzi, the queen of the Yuan, was the daughter of the Ji family, the marquis was bloody, and the queens of the two dynasties were all blood relatives...... It can be said that it has been cultivated as a main palace since birth.
Ji Lingzi herself is also very smart, and Fengyi is natural.
Rao is like this, when Yun Fenghuang first entered the palace, this young and quiet queen also privately confided in the troubles of not being supported and trusted by her family.
The noble status of the queen of the first dynasty, the neatness of the six palaces in order and the suppression of the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Yuan, as well as the weight of the blood line...... is not trusted and relied on by the Ji family, not to mention that Yun Fenghuan is to the Meng family and Ouyang Yanran?
Back then, she was valued in the clan, not because she would compete for favor because of her talent and appearance, but because her fiancΓ© was Qi Jiulu, the future head of the Qi family.
What Xie attaches importance to is the future mother of the Qi family.
In the final analysis, in this world, women are allowed to be noble, but women are not allowed to be ambitious.
From the Empress Dowager to the lowly maids, the most respected temperament and morality are all supple, kind, generous and benevolent...... In a word, it is easy to be controlled.
These important ministers will not even condone their own daughters to covet the powerful position outside the back house, and they love her like Chunjia and tactfully vetoed her temptation, so why should Yun Fenglian give face to these important ministers or quasi-important ministers?
Since it can't be used by the main palace...... Then just go heavy!
Even if it's unlikely that they'll be wiped out, there's enough to deter them!
Just as she must target Concubine Shu this time, she must maintain the character of "those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die".
In this way, she can act with her subordinates with sufficient convenience.
In order to offset the weakness of the birth to the greatest extent!
Otherwise, Chunjia would not give her a chance to gain power in the previous dynasty at all, and she herself would be restrained...... So what's the plan?
It's better to start the old business from now on and be an intimate little padded jacket for the emperor, and maybe you can be a face-saving concubine in the future.
"Concubine Wan is from everyone, you should know that Miyagi is a royal residence, how noble!" After closing his eyes, he opened them immediately, Yun Fenghuan's face was cold, and he said in a cold voice, "She is just a courtier, and it is already a blessing to invite heaven to enter the palace to serve Your Majesty!" As a result, not only did he not miss the emperor's grace, but in the palace, he intended to hang himself by hanging...... It's simply repaying virtue with resentment and madness! Don't you forget how many nobles live in this palace, can she afford to bump into them?! β
When she said this, the people below naturally knew it, and immediately Qu Hongzhen came forward on her behalf and went to Yanfu Palace to accuse Concubine Wan of sinister intentions, the following crimes, and the most heinous crimes...... On the Chongchang Palace, Gu Zhen pinched the corners of his forehead, and his face was blank.
In the past two days, the queen has not come out, because she is worried that Concubine Wan Jing will come to the door, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with offending the concubine.
Who knew that now the second concubine has not come to complain about her grievances and resentment, but the concubine's people have come!
And it is so straightforward to reverse right and wrong to confuse black and white!
Gu Zhen was a little sad, feeling that he had really changed beyond recognition.
If she hadn't entered the palace when she was a teenager, who dared to do this nonsense in front of her, she would have whipped her a long time ago......
But now, not only can the queen not be able to whip Qu Hongzhen, but she also has to swear with a virtuous and virtuous shelf that there is no room for such bastards in the palace, and she will send someone to find Concubine Wan later.
"Guifei, this is an iron heart to force Concubine Wan to death!" When Qu Hongzhuzhi left proudly, the queen sighed left and right, "Even Concubine Jing may not be able to survive this hurdle...... Isn't Meng already convinced? Why is the concubine still unwilling to show mercy? β
Originally, they didn't know what the concubine would do to suddenly target the second concubine, but Gu Zhen had always been worried about the concubine, so he would naturally arrange for someone to stare at Xie Drizzle.
The Meng clan sent someone to talk to Xie Drizzle to give in, and the news was immediately sent to the palace.
The queen's master and servant were gloating and worried, of course, gloating because the Meng family and the Luo family had just stabbed the Gu family, and they were disgraced by the concubine; Worried that such a favored concubine is ambitious herself, and she doesn't know if it will be a blessing or a curse in the middle palace in the future?
Although the Empress Dowager's words were conclusive, Gu Zhen felt that the analysis of this imperial grandmother was very reasonable, and what Chunjia said earlier was also reasonable, but seeing Yun Fenghuan's arrogance and domineering, it was difficult to settle down in his heart.
At this moment, Gu Zhen sighed and said: "It's not the first time that the concubine has done something similar, in the past, when the Zheng family died, I didn't see His Majesty say anything, and even helped the concubine deprive the title of mourning...... That's still the old man who accompanied him from His Majesty's wedding, what is Concubine Wan? β
"The concubine is domineering, as we all know." The waiter said, "It's just that now the Qu family has come to sue Concubine Wan, and Niangniang has promised to deal with it." But what to do with this? Concubine Wan's side...... After a blow, the situation is not good now, if she is asked to confess her guilt again, don't really have a person with three long and two short, the concubine may have to push two hundred and sixty-five, and call us to top the cylinder. β
But if you don't deal with it, the concubine will have to be a demon again......
For a while, the master and servant had a headache.
Gu Zhen was helpless and said, "That's it, it's still ...... Well, please call the shots for Your Majesty. β
She was a little desperate to think, what the Empress Dowager said was right, the Son of Heaven said that the palace was stupid, so she ...... Just let him go.
Anyway, the Son of Heaven's qualifications are first-class and high, and he is the most intelligent and capable.
How many people in this world are not stupid in the eyes of Chunjia?
Although the queen of this palace has a noble status, right...... But there are many more noble people in this palace......
The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are gone!
The main palace is still sitting firmly on the phoenix seat of Yanfu Palace!
Thinking about it like this, the queen felt much better, and said, "Beiyuan, this palace is going to ask Your Majesty!" β
β¦β¦ In the Taichu Palace, Chunjia was burying his head in the case, and when he heard that the queen was coming, he pondered for a while and asked, "What happened to the harem again?" β
"It is said that Qu Xiurong was ordered by the noble concubine to go to the Chongchang Hall to display the many crimes of the concubine and ask the queen to call the shots." Yan Yin said in a low voice, "The queen mother is probably here for this. β
Chunjia also sighed, and said helplessly: "Ah Huang...... The concubine seems to be angry this time. β
Yan Yin waited with bated breath for a while, and saw that the emperor didn't say anything else, just asked him to bring the queen in, and knew that the emperor had no intention of protecting Concubine Wan.
In other words, the emperor also knew about Concubine Wan's wrongdoing, but ...... In the emperor's opinion, the concubine has suffered such a big crime, there must be a few people for her to vent, right?
He hadn't figured out who he was looking for to be a scapegoat.
The concubine picked it herself, so ...... That can only be left to the concubine.
Or else?
Originally, his Ah Huang had been in a bad mood for the past two days, if he blamed her for outsiders again, what if it fell?
Anyway, Chunjia feels that his position is stable now, so what if he lets Meng's Luo's daughter suffer a little grievance?
The Ji clan and the Yuan clan have all been killed, and it doesn't matter if the Meng clan and the Luo clan want to follow in the footsteps of these two families.
He has no shortage of people to use now.
Without these two, some of them are talents scrambling to sell their arts!
So after a while, Gu Zhen came in, saw that the ceremony was over, and said in a hurried tone, the emperor just listened with a calm expression, and said slowly at the end: "What Qu said is very reasonable, since the queen promised to reprimand the Meng family, why did she still come to find me?" β
Gu Zhen: "......"
She knew that Chunjia would definitely favor the concubine, but she didn't expect Chunjia to be biased to such an extent!
If before this, Concubine Wan still had a glimmer of life, then the emperor said so, and if it was announced that Concubine Wan must die.
That is also a famous concubine who only entered the palace a few years ago, her background is noble, and she has not made any mistakes since entering the palace, and she gave birth to a princess for the emperor...... Gu Zhen had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell how cold he was, and how relieved he was.
It was chilling to see Chunjia treat the high-ranking concubine who had served him like this; was relieved, but he felt that what the Empress Dowager said was correct, and Chunjia's heart was as hard as iron.
He can be so ruthless to Concubine Wan today.
When he passes over the concubine, he may not be soft.
After settling down, Gu Zhen couldn't bear it in the end, took a step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, although Concubine Wan ......"
She tried hard to clear her conscience, "Although Concubine Wan behaved inappropriately, but in the end, she served His Majesty, there is no merit and hard work, besides, the sixth princess is still so young, how can it be good to leave the care of her biological mother......"
"There are many high positions in the palace, can't you raise a princess?" Chunjia knew Yun Fenghuan's temper, if he hesitated at this time, even if the concubine was not present, if he heard a word afterwards, he would have to put the account on him.
If this is the minister of the humerus or the important person who is related to his future arrangements for the country, it will be fine.
It's just a concubine.
To put it mildly, he can even easily handle the Meng family and the Luo clan now, and how many heirs have these two families?
Even though Meng Youyi is the most outstanding among the girls of her generation, and she was pushed out to compete for the position of successor, but in the eyes of the emperor and the entire Meng family, she has never been unable to give up.
The Son of Heaven said as a matter of course, "As for serving me...... Who is not here to serve the concubines who came to the palace? If the crime can be cleared because of serving me, then will the concubine not need to be punished for violating the palace rules in the future? Wouldn't such palace rules be gone?! β
Speaking of this, the emperor did not forget to dislike the empress again, "Although the empress is kind, she must also know that the superior should be gracious and powerful, which is the way of the emperor." Blindly being pure and gentle will only connive and breed the cranky thoughts that people below should not have! β
Seeing his expression, he almost added: No wonder you are such a waste, you don't understand such a simple truth!
Gu Zhen endured his anger and said stiffly: "Your Majesty taught you a lesson." β
Returning to Chongchang Palace, Gu Zhen thought about it again and again, but still felt that he couldn't come forward to do this evil in person, so he ordered his close attendants to go to Yuzhen Palace on his behalf: "Concubine Meng of Linlang Hall is shallow and reckless, and she collides with the emperor's elders...... degraded to ...... Jieyu! β
"Mother, is this too low?" The attendant reminded, "If you offend the concubine, if you want to be promoted back in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult." β
The queen sighed: "Your Majesty and the noble concubine don't care about Concubine Wan's life or death now, this palace is ruthless, maybe the Meng family can still have a little vitality." Otherwise...... Even if she keeps her position, what's the point? β
After a pause, "After you pass on the edict, tell Meng Shi a few words in private." β
Although it is said that Concubine Wan Jing was actually the first to cause Concubine Jing to burn on this fire, she really doesn't want Concubine Wan to have an accident now.
This is not only sympathy, but also because the concubine is too favored.
The queen instinctively hoped that the concubine's enemies would live longer.
However, that night, Meng Youyi, who had been suspended once, hung the beam again, and this time, she succeeded.
