Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 41 Ruthless

"Queen Mother, it's not necessarily too early to think about the establishment of the prince now, I mean the same as the first emperor, and it's not too late to discuss this matter after the princes grow up and can see their character." Feng Wuxian said with a smile, "Although the queen and Concubine Xun are both pregnant, after all, they are not yet in childbirth, and it is impossible to say whether they are men or women." ”
Xiao Shi couldn't hear his son's prevarication, sighed deeply, and then shook his head and said: "Emperor, you are the son of the mourning family, what are you thinking about the mourning family, will you not know?" For the Heavenly Family, it is both a good thing and a bad thing to determine the title of monarch and minister early. Take this incident as an example, if the emperor has already made a crown prince, how can someone else drag the throne to a deposed county king? The first emperor established a prince in his later years, and compared with Lingyun and the other ancestors, there were many more chaos. Look at your royal brothers and brothers, how many people can really be trusted? It's not all the trouble caused by the dispute between the reserve at that time, you must know that the brothers work together, and their profits are cut off, which is what the sages said. ”
Xiao's words made Feng Wuxian frightened, he thought that his mother was taking the opportunity to take the initiative, but he didn't expect this layer at all. Presumably, my mother also knew the intentions of some ministers in the DPRK and wanted to stop them, so she came up with this plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle. However, where is it so easy to establish a prince, you must know that although there are not many concubines in his harem, they have different origins, except for Concubine Hongru and Concubine Ping, everyone has a background. Fortunately, both Concubine Zhen and Concubine Rong are not pregnant, otherwise this matter of establishing a prince would have to be weighed for a long time.
"Then according to the queen mother's wishes, after the queen and Concubine Xun give birth, you can put the matter of the prince on the table?" The wind was silent for a long time. He asked again, "It is true that I can avoid many troubles in the later years of the first emperor's reign. But if the prince is established too early, that prince is undoubtedly the best target. It's easy to be tricked into someone's plot. If the prince really has a case, then the gain outweighs the loss. ”
"Therefore, after the emperor waits until the queen and Concubine Xun give birth, he can first draw up a secret edict to keep, which may come in handy at a critical moment. If you are not satisfied in the future. Withdrawn and re-established. As for this secret edict, the emperor keeps a copy for himself, a copy for the emperor's palace, and then a copy for the queen or the mourning family, so that those thieves who are determined to rebel will not succeed so easily! Shaw almost gritted his teeth.
It was not until this moment that Feng Wuxian was sure that his mother had regained her usual calm, and the big stone in her heart suddenly fell. In any case, the mother's proposal was indeed a good idea. Although it is not possible to appoint the most suitable prince in the short term, in case things change. At least it won't cause chaos because the throne is vacant. "In my mother's opinion." He nodded. The two discussed for a while, and Feng Wuxian wanted to change the topic elsewhere, but Xiao Shi's face suddenly appeared solemn again. It seems that there is something very important in the way.
"Emperor, the mourning family still has something to ask for your opinion." Xiao Shi said solemnly, "It's about your younger brother Feng Wuxi." When she saw that the wind was without a trace, her face immediately changed, and she couldn't help but show a helpless wry smile. The mourning family knew that you could let him live that day, but it was just because you saw the face of the mourning family, and you didn't want to refute the dignity of the queen mother. However, now it seems that the mourning family took it for granted at the beginning and did not take into account the thoughts of you, the emperor. Xiao Shi got up from his seat, and the silk handkerchief in his hand was unconsciously crumpled.
"The mourning family has always been spoiled, full of thought that he would be studious and progressive, who expected him to be a virtuous man with his uncle, just for his own use, and he didn't know what to do. The mourning family once summoned the Ningjun Wangfu to watch over him, and wanted to ask him if he had studied well according to his will, but who expected to learn that he was just blindly indulging himself, and he was also very perverse on weekdays, and he had no intention of repenting at all. Therefore, the mourning family was greatly disappointed, but this time they had already made up their minds. Everyone knows that the mourning family only has two sons, and if there is a plan, it will inevitably involve him. He is a person with a big crime, since the emperor has disposed of the Xiao family this time, there is no reason to indulge him, the meaning of the mourning family is to give him wine, so as not to have endless troubles in the future! ”
Feng Wuxian never thought that his mother would make such a decision, this kind of determination like a strong man's broken wrist is both admirable and even more terrifying. Such heartless words came from Xiao's mouth, as if Feng Wuxi was not her most spoiled son back then. At this moment, Feng Wuxian almost couldn't help but want to ask his mother's true intentions, but in the end he held back. In all fairness, Shaw's decision was not wrong at all, however, being able to make such a decision meant that Shaw was the queen mother first, and then the mother. The so-called mother-child relationship is really weak in the face of real conflicts of interest.
"I understand the Queen Mother's intentions." Feng Wuxian nodded heavily, "The so-called infamy of killing my brother, I am not afraid to bear it, and I will make a will tomorrow." In addition, the Queen Mother, you should also know the reason for the love affair of Concubine Chun of Shouning Palace. I thought that there was no wind and no waves, although the thirteenth emperor brother Feng Wujiu was indeed young, but if there was no one to thread the needle, it should not be able to climb on him. However, after all, Concubine Chun is the concubine of the first emperor, and it is not appropriate for me or the queen to dispose of it, so it is up to you to make a decree......"
The Empress Dowager Xiao's brows were suddenly locked together again, and she was also suspicious of the four princes who suddenly appeared at that time and the holy decree that was simply forged. It is true that the Wang family is respectful, but the harem woman, which one does not have the ability to be around? The first emperor rarely visited concubines in his later years, and even she, the queen who once favored the six palaces, could only see the first emperor once or twice in a month, and the Wang family could not only fix the favor, but also get along well with other concubines, and the reason was extremely suspicious. Moreover, the thirteen princes were originally obtained by the first emperor in his later years, and I can't tell what else is due to it, no matter what, this woman will definitely not be able to stay.
"The emperor's meaning is clear, and the mourning family will deal with the matter of the pure concubine." Xiao Shi nodded, and there was already a wisp of murderous intent on his face, "If she is really cautious, she will not poke out the leak now, so, according to the palace rules of the harem, the mourning family can naturally give her death." As for Feng Wujiu, after all, he is still a child, and there is only one daughter under the knees of the Imperial Concubine Gonghui, and she begged to raise Feng Wuhao back then, but was rejected by the first emperor, and now she is raising this son. ”
"It's still the Queen Mother who thinks thoughtfully." Feng Wuxian praised convincingly, "The queen is still young, and the affairs of the harem are complicated, and she may not be able to fully manage it clearly, and sometimes she has to worry about the queen mother." ”
"Okay, the emperor won't flatter the mourning family. Isn't it just to share your worries for Xin'er, you can still do this little thing, so you don't have to worry about it. Xiao Shi smiled and picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and then spoke, "You go back to the Qinzheng Hall quickly, otherwise Bao Huasheng and they will not find anyone by then, and they will have to rush around." The things that the mourning family promised you will naturally not be lazy. ”
Feng Wuxian smiled and greeted him a few more words, and then withdrew. When he left Kunning Palace, he asked Xiao Fangzi to visit Cining Palace. After all, that place is the mother's serious palace, how can I let my mother move back as soon as possible if she doesn't clean it up, and if you think about it, if you have another ten days, you should be able to return the original face of Cining Palace.
Xiao waited until the wind receded without a trace, and then he exhaled a sigh of relief. Although Lingyun's queen mother has always been honored, she has the prestige of her mother's family, and the so-called mother's filial piety, otherwise where would she get her authority? This time the Xiao family saw the crime, she, the queen mother, was naturally three points shorter, if she really tore her face with the emperor, the future would be unpredictable. Fortunately, she is not such an unassertive person, and she has been defeated in a moment. Although Feng Wuxi used to be the meat of her heart, but now, if he lives in the world, he will inevitably be calculated by others, and it is better to give death to be happy.
Xiao Shi was sad, and at this time, Rouping happened to come in, and just saw the master's expression, and immediately shrank back uneasily. After pondering in the outer hall for a while, she slowly walked into the main hall, waiting with bated breath for her master's orders.
"Rouping, you go and call Pinghai!" Xiao Shi said in a deep voice, "The mourning family has something to tell him to do. ”
Pinghai, who had been summoned, entered the main hall with apprehension, knelt on the ground and bowed his head, and then fell to the ground. Although he has been promoted to the head of Cining Palace, and the emperor rewarded him with the title of deputy eunuch of the six palaces, and now he is the chief eunuch of the fifth grade, but in front of the Xiao family, he still does not dare to breathe, lest he anger this moody master.
"Pinghai, you will take a few strong eunuchs to Shouning Palace later, and give this white silk to Concubine Chun." Xiao Shi commanded expressionlessly, and casually took a three-zhang white silk beside him.
Rouping couldn't help but tremble in her heart when she saw this, when she went to get this white silk, she vaguely noticed a hint of ominous meaning, who expected it to fall on the pure concubine. Thinking that the Wang family used to be a high-ranking concubine in the harem, and now she ended up like this, how could Rouping not be afraid, but she still had a calm look on her face, and she didn't dare to show fear at all.
Ping Hai was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed, and respectfully took the white silk. This kind of errand is not the first time he has taken it, but in the past, at most, he only gave a palace maid nobleman, and there were few concubines with such extraordinary status. Thinking of Wang's wonderful figure and face, he couldn't help but smash his lips, obviously with some ill intentions.
Unexpectedly, before his left foot stepped out of the threshold, Xiao Shi coldly commanded again. "Pinghai, don't remember the edict of the mourning family, Concubine Chun is the favorite concubine of the first emperor, if she refuses to comply, you can naturally use it. However, if you touch something that shouldn't be touched, you don't have to come back to pay the order to the mourning family, just come to see it! ”
This vicious sentence immediately made Pinghai sweat, and he turned around and hurriedly rushed out. The Queen Mother has already said this, so he has to pick a few honest people, otherwise there will be chaos at that time, and nothing will be clear.
