Chapter 539: A Grasshopper on a Boat
Chen Yuanyuan passed the princess level, and he was considered to have settled in the palace. The princess continued to observe whether Chen Yuanyuan was really the same, so she didn't give her a name, but just prepared a courtyard for her in the palace, which was considered to make her stay temporarily.
In order to maintain the reputation of the palace, the princess adopted Fang Yuan's suggestion, ordered Chen Yuanyuan to change her surname back to Xing, and then canceled the stage name of Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute in the Qinglou, and changed her original name, Yuan. even arranged an identity for Chen Yuanyuan in order to block the mouth of the world, that is, the palace maid who followed the princess from the capital to marry in the south of the Yangtze River.
After this whitewashing, packaging, and inclusion of this concubine in the palace, she is no longer Chen Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute in the world before, but a palace maid next to the princess, Xing Yuan.
Chen Yuanyuan suddenly entered the house after some packaging, which caught Xiao Yuan off guard and made him even more vigilant. But Fang Yuan didn't inform her about this matter from beginning to end, and of course she was not qualified to raise any objections.
Xiao Yuan now has two sons in hand, which can be said to be a sure victory. Even if Fang He humiliated the princess so much at the succession ceremony, Fang Yuan also punished him lightly, it can be seen that Fang Yuan is more or less biased towards her, and he will not easily punish the most righteous heir, Fang He.
But now there is suddenly an extra woman in the palace, Chen Yuanyuan, who is still a famous prostitute all over the world, and there is an unpredictable variable on Xiaoyuan's road to the throne.
Xiao Yuan ordered Fang He to go to Jing Ling to play, which raised the relationship between the two, and asked the nurse to take Fang Lin to sleep. She and her confidant Qiulin negotiated countermeasures in the courtyard.
Qiu Lin said tentatively, "Mrs. Yuan, since the princess wants to whitewash Chen Yuanyuan, we will deliberately leak the news to the outside world, so that the whole world knows that this Xing Yuan of the palace is not a palace maid to marry, but Chen Yuanyuan who covers the south of the Yangtze River, and puts pressure on the palace in public opinion." Maybe the regent and princess will send Chen Yuanyuan out of the palace again to eliminate this crisis. ”
Xiao Yuan stared at Qiu Lin coldly, making her tremble in fright, and then said slowly, "Superficial opinion! Why can't you understand that the key to this backyard battle is not whether Chen Yuanyuan can enter the palace or not, but whether Chen Yuanyuan can give birth to a healthy son for his son. As the regent of Childe, how can there be only two women in the backyard?! As long as Chen Yuanyuan can't give birth to a son, what's the matter if there is one more woman in the house and one less woman? ! ”
"In my experience in the dental industry, a woman like Chen Yuanyuan, who was born in a Qinglou, usually takes contraceptive drugs in order to avoid pregnancy affecting the trade of skin and meat. It is extremely difficult to get pregnant after taking this contraceptive drug for a long time, and it is even more difficult to give birth to a healthy son. ”
"The princess actually wants to rely on this kind of pheasant that can't lay eggs to win back the defeat, it's really a good idea to go to the doctor in a hurry! Scold! Chen Yuanyuan has just entered the house, and the son must be very fresh to her, and she is very fond of her, at this time to spread rumors, if the son is detected, then it will really outweigh the losses. ”
Qiu Lin was suddenly taught, only to know that Xiao Yuan had already weighed the pros and cons of all parties, and acted cautiously and steadily, and there was no need for her to talk too much, so she hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Yuan, then what should we ......do next?"
Xiao Yuan said unhurriedly, "We still respond to all changes with the same, and after a few days, the novelty of the son for this woman has passed, and we will think of blasting her out of the house." ”
Qiu Lin even claimed that it was, and then whispered in Xiao Yuan's ear, "Mrs. Yuan, Mr. Ma sent someone to bring a message, Zhejiang's emergency reserve grain has an accident, and 50,000 people are starving to death in Fengyang. The regent was furious when he learned of this, and was preparing to thoroughly investigate the source of this batch of sand-mixed grain. ”
When Xiao Yuan heard this shocking news, he was suddenly startled, and said with a disgraced face, "Ma Lin, he's a fool!" The mud that can't hold up the wall! There is a shortage of emergency reserve food, and he can find a random excuse to wash it up, he dares to send it to the front line for disaster relief, and his head is crowded with the door?! ”
If there is a problem with the reserve grain, it will not be a dispute in the backyard, but a major military and political matter related to the national economy and people's livelihood. If Fang Yuan sensed that Xiao Yuan was related to this batch of food that starved to death of 50,000 people, then she would definitely be done playing!
Qiu Lin looked around, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Yuan be quiet, be careful that the wall has ears!" Ma Zongbing originally wanted to mix 10,000 stone of grain with 10,000 stone of grain this time, and maybe he could get away with it. However, the officers and men under his command were more greedy than the other, and they exploited layer by layer, and as a result, when they were sent to the front line for disaster relief, 30,000 stones of sand were mixed with 50,000 stone of grain, which caused an irreparable situation. ”
"Ma Zongbing is also very scared, if he is found out by the regent, he will definitely die like Xu Hua. He had sent spies to beg Mrs. Yuan for mercy, and begged her to raise her noble hand and cover up the past for him. In the future, he will inevitably take Mrs. Yuan, the king of Anguo County. ”
Xiao Yuan was completely speechless about this Ma Lin, she and Ma Lin secretly colluded to make false accounts for these big soldiers who embezzled public food, and they were also trying to win over and cultivate forces in the military for her son Fang He. Fang Yuan was reluctant to allow Fang He, and Jing Ling's marriage made Xiao Yuan's idea of winning over Jing Jie and Xuanjiajun not come true. She was also worried about long nights and dreams, so she had to find another force supported by the military.
Zhejiang is close to Nanzhili, once there is any wind and grass in Nanzhili, Ma Lin can directly lead Zhejiang's Xuanjia Army to the north to support, which is a powerful arm.
Although Ma Lin is brain-dead, she is a grasshopper in the same boat as Xiaoyuan, one is prosperous and one is damaged, she can't help it.
Xiao Yuan sighed deeply, forcibly suppressed his anger at Ma Lin's pig teammates, and said in a cold voice, "Qiu Lin, Ma Lin said that how much emergency reserve grain is missing?" ”
Qiu Lin said in a low voice, "There are 850,000 stones in the accounts of the independent accounting group, but in fact, there are only 400,000 stones in the granary. ”
"Stupid! Such a big appetite is stupid! ”
Xiao Yuan scolded coldly, closed his eyes slightly and pondered for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "Qiu Lin, immediately send two groups of people." As soon as you dial it, contact Ma Lin immediately, conduct a self-check of the accounts, and self-check all the incoming and outgoing accounts related to the emergency reserve grain, make up for it, burn it down, and don't leave any clues! ”
"Send two more henchmen to Zhejiang, tell Ma Lin to fill the remaining 400,000 granaries with ten granaries, and pile up 50,000 stones of expired old grain in the remaining ten granaries, and then set a fire to burn all these ten granaries with old grains!"
Xiao Yuan's plan is to smooth out the accounts, and then use the excuse of the granary fire to cover up this monstrous disaster. According to her estimate, as long as there is no clue in the accounts, even if Fang Yuan is suspicious of the granary fire, at most he will suspect Ma Lin, but he will not suspect her. What's more, Ma Lin is the general of the Xuanjia Army, if there is no real evidence, Fang Yuan will not punish these veteran generals based on the speculation of chasing the wind and catching shadows.
This time, the chance of getting through the test is at least seven or eight percent.
Qiu Lin was taught and was about to leave, when Xiao Yuan suddenly asked, "Qiu Lin, there is one more thing, I have always been suspicious, you must check it again." ”
Qiu Lin hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Yuan, what's the matter?!" ”
Xiao Yuan said slowly, "Who is the person who poured tea on the princess behind the scenes and at the succession ceremony?!" ”
Qiu Lin was taken aback and asked, "This, this, wasn't it taught by Mrs. Yuan?!" ”
Xiao Yuan said in a deep voice, "How could I teach Fang He to use such a stupid method to provoke Childe?!" So much so that my son never came to my yard again. I asked Fang He, and he said that a maid in the house secretly taught him to do this, but he couldn't name the maid. These days, the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, this maid's move is ill-intentioned, and she wants to separate the father-son relationship between Gongzi and Fang He. You, secretly take Fang He to the palace to identify them one by one, arrest this maidservant, and eliminate future troubles! ”
