Chapter 132: The moon is dark and the wind is high

Thanks to the alliance leader Da Jue "Brother Feng 98" for the five hundred taels of hospitality money specially allocated for Father-in-law Wei!

……

The concubine has to do this!

This is crucial, because Queen Wang and Wanli lived together day and night before her death.

This made Queen Wang very sad after her death, and ordered to check the generous precedent.

In the process of preparing for the funeral, there was a golden silk nanmu pillar in the incense hall of Wanshou Palace that was partially damaged due to age, and Wanli actually asked for the golden pillar to be replaced immediately.

The Ministry of Engineering proposed to fill in the repair with wood to save time, if the new column would be time-consuming, Wanli, who was already seriously ill, did not agree, and once again asked for the immediate replacement of the gold pillar without delaying the funeral.

It can be seen from this that in the last years of Wanli, the queen who ate and lived with him left a deep impression on him.

If it was Concubine Zheng Guifei who was with Wanli at the time, I am afraid that she would not have received the holy decree of her future until her husband died, let alone leave the things behind the book to the prince, and eventually become a soup.

Once a person gets older, the grievances of the past can easily fade away.

Wanli was still very affectionate with Queen Wang when she was young, and it was not until the past ten years that Wanli alienated her because of the country's affairs and the great change in Queen Wang's personality due to her inability to have children.

In the last days, the re-accompaniment of the queen made Wanli forgive her, and it was the death of the queen that crushed Wanli, causing the emperor and queen to die about three months apart.

If Wanli had been with him since he was seriously ill was a concubine, then Wanli would not delay the concubine as the queen because of his feelings for the queen, and he would definitely register the concubine as the queen immediately after the death of the queen!

The elderly are the most emotional and the most moving.

Gonggong Wei didn't want the concubine to do this, but he had to let her do it.

This is not only related to the queen's position of the concubine, but also to whether Gonggong Wei can return to Beijing to participate in the political struggle between the Wanli, Taichang, and Tianqi dynasties.

The imperial court is always the core of power!

If Gonggong Wei wants to reform or reform, he must return to the imperial court.

The concubine understands his deep meaning, and another meaning of companionship is to isolate China and foreign countries.

"Li Yongzhen from Dongchang, Tian Ergeng from Beizhen, and Wang Tiqian from Shangshan Supervisor in the palace are all available people, and if there is anything inconvenient for Niangniang to do in the future, you can ask them to do it."

As he spoke, Gonggong Wei took out a folded note from his bosom and handed it to the concubine, on which were the eyeliner and useful manpower he had deployed in Beijing in the past few years, including the "spies" who belonged to the Zuo'anmen Maritime Eunuch Office.

"If there is something, the people above can send it." Father-in-law Wei solemnly confessed.

The concubine opened it and swept her eyes, and found that there were many officials from foreign dynasties on the note, and even a few officials who had scolded her in the past, which surprised her a lot.

Seeing that the concubine was puzzled, the father-in-law smiled and said: "There are no absolute enemies in the world, and there are no absolute friends, these people may have been deeply dissatisfied with Niangniang in the past because of the country, but now Niangniang is not their enemy." The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, as long as the mother can help them, they will return the favor. ”

The concubine silently accepted the list, looked up at her father-in-law, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Are you leaving?" ”

"After I am busy here, I will go to sea for a while, at least half a year, at most a year and a half." Father-in-law Wei didn't hide it from the concubine, he was indeed leaving.

"But as long as you have something, I will rush back even if I am at the end of the earth." The father-in-law gave the concubine a promise.

The concubine sighed: "It's okay if you go to sea, because of Shouning's matter, Your Majesty is also angry with you, and he can't look at it if it's far away." ”

After speaking, he hesitated a little, and finally said, "Why don't you meet her mother and son?" ”

"I can't go to her." The father-in-law shook his head.

The concubine was surprised: "What? ”

The father-in-law smiled bitterly: "There are His Majesty's eyes and ears." ”

The concubine said "oh" and comforted softly: "If you don't go, don't go, the mother and son are very good, I am watching." ”

"Shu'er, you're so nice."

The father-in-law took the concubine's hand again and kissed it gently.

"By the way, don't be gullible about Fang Congzhe, although he is the leader of the Zhejiang Party, after all, he was recommended by Ye Xianggao, and he does things more for his own interests, and it is difficult to stand out for his mother..."

When the princess told the concubine about Fang Congzhe, Chang Yu suddenly wanted to go out to play, and the concubine hurriedly picked him up and took him to the courtyard.

The son wants to go out to play, and the father follows him.

It was already evening, and most of the palace people and eunuchs who were busy in the Shuiquan courtyard had retreated to other places, and only a few close attendants were waiting in the front yard.

Pang Bao was instructed not to allow anyone to enter the inner courtyard where the concubine was, and he was loyal to his duties, moved a stool and sat at the gate of the courtyard to guard, and he looked like a loyal slave.

Since the death of Liu Cheng and Jiang Lishan, Pang Bao, a eunuch who became a monk halfway, has become a useful person around the concubine, although the concubine was almost going to kill him because of his cousin Zhang Cha's affairs, but fortunately, the case has been closed, and the criminal department has not been able to dig him out Pang Bao, so Pang Gonggong is still very glad that he can save his life.

It's inevitable that I'm afraid, and the trouble is that Li Yongzhen's father-in-law from the East Factory actually asked Pang Bao to act as the eyeliner next to Ma Tang's father-in-law.

Speaking of Ma Gonggong, Pang Bao is very grateful. If it weren't for Gonggong Ma's help, where would he have been able to enter the palace and get to the status he has today.

Emotionally speaking, Pang Bao is unwilling to spy on Ma Gonggong's affairs for Li Yongzhen, but if people take his handle, if he refuses, I am afraid that he will have to be charged with trying to murder the prince.

Therefore, Pang Bao could only agree.

Seeing that the concubine Niangniang came to the courtyard with the little prince in her arms, Pang Bao hurriedly stood up.

The concubine glanced at him and ignored him, but Gonggong Wei in the back smiled at him and waved his hand not to approach. Pang Bao understood and quickly bowed down to the front yard.

The concubine put her son down and snorted slightly: "If you hadn't interceded, I would have killed him a long time ago." ”

"Keep it, maybe it's still useful."

The father-in-law smiled and pulled Xiao'er to coax him to learn to walk.

The purple girl has never gone far, and has been fiddling with the flowers and plants in the yard. However, her appearance was absent-minded, her eyes were looking at the concubine's house from time to time, and she looked up at the sunset that was about to set from time to time, as if she wished that the sky would soon get dark.

What's even more embarrassing is that when squatting on the ground, the purple girl even clamped her legs intentionally or unintentionally, and she really didn't know what to think.

Seeing the concubine Niangniang coming out, with a red light on her face, the purple girl subconsciously glanced at Niangniang at that time, and then looked at Father-in-law Wei, and then bowed her head and left.

"How did you go?"

Gonggong Wei wondered, he was still going to talk to Zheng Shanggong.

The concubine gave her father-in-law a blank look: "Did I not feed you?" ”

"How so," the father-in-law smiled.

Where was the concubine really angry, and she was also laughing in her heart, thinking of what she said before, she asked: "What did you just say about Fang Congzhe?" ”

Speaking of business, Gonggong Wei reminded the concubine Fang Congzhe that she has soft ears, is not firm, and is very easy to be bewitched, so if he can't return to Beijing if something happens in the future, the concubine will have a better mind, don't be coaxed by Fang Congzhe.

This is not the heart of a villain, but a lesson from the past.

When the father-in-law's previous life moved the palace case, although the main force was Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, the Donglin Party members, the leader was Fang Congzhe, the cabinet minister.

And in the matter of Zheng Guifei's establishment, Fang Congzhe also played a trick, although he did not directly push back like Sun Ruyou, the waiter of the Rite Department of the Donglin Party, he also made a procrastination decision, and was unwilling to do things according to orders.

In order to avoid telling the truth, Fang Congzhe made a plan to Taichang at that time, which seemed to be the best of both worlds, and he proposed to hide the holy decree of Zheng Guifei as the empress in the cabinet, which was kept secret for the time being.

The reason is that "there is no evidence." Today, it is not without courtesy; The fate of the first emperor is suspected of gaffes. Since the beginning of the order, the minister has been in the cabinet and does not need to be passed on. There is no suspicion of overstepping the system in the court, and there is no trace of disobedience in the courtiers."

Fang Congzhe first said that there was no precedent for Jin Feng and it was difficult to do, and then said that he was ordered by the first emperor, and he had to follow the order. But in order not to violate the ancestral system, only the temporary cabinet will not be sent out, and the canonization will be made when the court is stable.

This flickering made Zheng Guifei have nothing to say, and the result was the end of the game.

Father-in-law Wei just told the concubine that there is no absolute enemy in the world, and there is no absolute friend, and now he and the Zhejiang Party are cooperating very happily on the matter of opening the sea in the southeast, and they are also supporting each other in dealing with the Donglin Party in Jingcha, but these do not mean that Fang Congzhe and even the entire Zhejiang Party will help him Father-in-law Wei praise Zheng Guifei as the queen.

Things are multi-angled, and the way they manifest themselves in different time periods is also different, and the interests represented are also different.

Fundamentally speaking, in the matter of Zheng Guifei's establishment, whether it is Donglin or the three parties, they are the opposite of Gonggong Wei.

Therefore, it is necessary to be vigilant against each other in cooperation, and never trust others as if they were hearts and livers.

Gonggong Wei said a lot more, all of which were in the court, and the purpose was to hope that the concubine could understand the movements of the court more clearly.

The father-in-law instructed Li Yongzhen that after he left, Li Yongzhen would see the concubine Niangniang regularly, and inform the concubine of the movements in Beijing and the court in a timely manner, so as to avoid the judgment of the concubine without intelligence sources, which would lead to irreparable consequences.

Before leaving, the concubine was very reluctant, and only let him leave after hearing that the Wei Gong Guild would accompany her in Xishan for a few days.

At night, the moon is really dark and the wind is high.

Father-in-law Wei, who was familiar with the road, used his familiarity with the terrain to avoid the eyes and ears of the Black Flag Arrow Team, and easily climbed over the courtyard wall, with a little cramp when he landed, thinking that it was because the daytime movement was too intense.

After making a slight adjustment and confirming that he could fight, Gonggong Wei touched the outside of the purple girl's room and knocked lightly: "Auntie, have you figured it out?" ”
