No. 469 Undercover agent by Zhao Xu's side
In the end, Cai Dao made another suggestion to Concubine Zhu. When he was done, he clicked on it.
said too much, if Concubine Zhu was not strict for a while, she sold herself, but the gains outweighed the losses.
Soon, Concubine Zhu instructed the palace maids and eunuchs to act according to Cai Daoxian's strategy.
Zhao Xu learned the news of Concubine Zhu's illness, and Yang Wei immediately said that it was wonderful after hearing about it. Zhao Xu must have been the ghost of Luo Guozi, but he couldn't say it clearly.
At the moment, Zhao Xu is going to convene his cronies and ministers in turn to test their meaning, and then discuss together how to abolish the matter of the Empress Dowager Xiang, fortunately, Cai Dao is careful in handling things, and when he speaks, he not only temporarily drives away the people around Zhao Xu, but also drives away the people around Concubine Zhu, and prepares to clean it up thoroughly.
However, who would have thought that the closest person to Zhao Xu was actually a fine work sent to the Queen Mother.
This person is Liu Jieyu, and it is no wonder that later generations recorded that this woman was able to wander between the two palaces, that is, to please Empress Dowager Xiang and Concubine Zhu one after another. The relationship between these two people, needless to say, Empress Dowager Xiang, and even if Concubine Zhu is gentle, it is impossible to have a good relationship with Empress Dowager Xiang, but this woman can do it, which shows her long-sleeved ability to dance.
It turned out that the fundamental reason why Liu Jieyu was able to do this was that she was just in Zhao Xu's eyes and ears to the Queen Mother. And Empress Dowager Xiang not only regarded this Liu as her own eyes and ears, but also as a means to indirectly deal with or control Zhao Xu.
When Zhao Xu's temperament was clear about Zhao Xu's temperament, when he chose the palace maid to enter the palace, how could he not notice that such a charming woman was not suitable for entering the palace. This is like something that the Empress Dowager resolutely forbade when she was alive. You must know that at that time, the palace maids who took care of him by Zhao Xu's side were not only older, but also not a big beauty.
However, in this time and space, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Jieyu to please both ends again.
On the one hand, her real backer, the Empress Dowager Xiang, is about to be deposed, and the best ending is two, one is to be claustrophobic in the cold palace, and the other is to be a monk to become a female crown in the Taoist temple run by the royal family.
On the other hand, Cai Dao had already made 'slander's rumors' about Liu Jieyu from Concubine Zhu before. Presumably, Concubine Zhu has left a deep prejudice against Liu Jieyu in her heart at this time, and the fox is the first impression of outsiders after seeing her.
This is not Cai Dao's comment alone.
But no one thought that Liu Jieyu was actually an undercover agent sent to Zhao Xu by the side of the Queen Mother.
No, Liu Jieyu is ignorant and ignorant to take this opportunity to betray herself in front of the Queen Mother?
"Queen Mother, that Luo pot is really hateful, as soon as he comes in, he stares at the slave family, according to the slave family, he is a pure ruffian, and I don't know if this guy is a fake Taoist. What's even worse is that he didn't know what important things he discussed with the official family, so he actually drove out the slave family and other palace maids and eunuchs. Liu Jieyu naturally wouldn't say good things about Cai Dao, she thought that Cai Dao would definitely be a little pervert as soon as she entered the Qinzheng Palace and stared at her.
Empress Dowager Xiang didn't know Cai Dao, and she also knew whether he was a pervert or not. But as soon as I heard this Liu's words, I heard that Cai Dao was staring at her as soon as he entered the door, not because she was beautiful, but because he saw that this Liu had been a little too arrogant recently.
What kind of place is the Qinzheng Palace, if the Liu family is still a servant, it is all right, but now she is already a Jieyu, and staying in the Qinzheng Palace with Zhao Xu is a bit excessive. If it was Empress Meng, it would be called Qin Se Harmony, and those Confucian ministers would not say anything, but if they learned that it was this Liu who stayed inside, they would definitely impeach her.
What's more, Yanfu Palace is a place where the emperor and the queen can go to play, since Zhao Xu's wedding, he has never taken the queen to go, but this Liu family has become a special favorite, and he has always been able to accompany Zhao Xu to Yanfu Palace to play.
"What did he say to Xu'er after he went in?" Xiang asked the Queen Mother with some urgency.
She now knew that Zhang Dian and Huang Fu were preparing to write a letter to abolish the title of the Empress Dowager. Gao Taotao is now dead, but this 'female Zhongyao Shun' is their best shield for conservatives and themselves, if even Gao Taotao is difficult to survive this turmoil, then the next person who will be unlucky is likely to be herself.
The identity of Concubine Zhu and the emperor's biological mother has always been the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Empress Dowager Xiang, and there may be ministers who ask to elevate the identity of that woman in order to curry favor with Zhao Xu. Then, at that time, she, the queen mother, was extremely embarrassed.
"Queen Mother, they said well, the slave family didn't understand a little, that Luo Guozi first said that there was something important to report, but the official family didn't want to listen to his nonsense, but he said what Lord Zhang and Huang Yushi were preparing ......, but when he said this, he was interrupted by the official's words. Next, the slave family was kicked out of the Qinzheng Palace. Although Liu Jieyu said so, she has always been smart and intelligent, so she naturally deeply incorporated Cai Dao's words and deeds after entering the Qinzheng Palace.
Cai Dao didn't know that this Liu Jieyu already hated him. However, I just know that Cai Dao will not take it to heart, most men will have the bad problem of liking the new and hating the old, even Cai Dao himself is not exempt from vulgarity, not to mention Zhao Xu, who is greedy for beauty. If you dare to provoke him, you can make this Liu Jieyu completely fall out of favor in minutes.
For the emperor, this Liu Jieyu is indeed a harem and will please Zhao Xu, but she has a fatal weakness. As an emperor's woman, if she can't give birth to a boy and half a girl to the emperor and raise them, she will soon be left behind by the emperor.
It's not that this Liu Jieyu can't have children, but since Song Huizong can succeed to the throne, it means that even if this Liu Jieyu has a prince left, she can't support her.
What, that Luo Guozi already knows about it! Xiang Empress Dowager secretly thought in her heart, so his trip was to persuade Zhao Xu to take back his fate, Hai is Zhang Dan's party, and he strongly agrees with this time?
It is said that neither the Empress Dowager Xiang nor the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao had any good impression of Cai Dao when she was alive, and there were two reasons why he was kicked out of the capital.
First, Cai Dao is the son of Cai Bian and Wang Anshi's grandson, and he was born with an aura of being disgusted by conservatives.
And another reason is that he is afraid that Luo Guozi will bring Zhao Xu to ruin.
This is empirical, the original blind Zhao Mi was still a very well-behaved child, but since he got along with Luo Guozi for a while, he has become perverse.
"We can't sit back and wait like this anymore." The Empress Dowager Xiang made up her mind, so she got up and ordered: "Come on, the mourning family wants to visit my good sister, and immediately set up a fight for the mourning family." ”
"No!" The eunuch and the palace maid in charge agreed, and immediately went out to arrange a trip to the queen. However, it was not yet possible for everyone to make arrangements.
Suddenly, someone trotted in from outside and reported: "Report! Report to the Queen Mother, the concubine, she was suddenly infected with a cold, and specially sent a slave to report to you, saying that she was suffering from illness and it was inconvenient to ask you for peace today. Moreover, the wind and cold are very easy to infect others, so the concubine also specially instructed the slave maid, saying that the queen mother did not have to visit her. ”
"What?" Why did that woman get sick at this time, and she also had a cold that is very easy to infect others, if she hadn't come forward to dissuade the official family, the Queen Mother knew that she alone would not be enough to persuade the little emperor.
For a moment, the Empress Dowager Xiang was disturbed by this sudden news.
"Who diagnosed and treated Concubine Zhu's illness, and who was beside Concubine Zhu when she was sick?" At this time, Liu Jieyu's shrewdness was shown.
"Who is this?" Not everyone can casually inquire about the affairs around the concubine, unless the Empress Dowager speaks in person, otherwise, even in front of the Empress Dowager, no matter who it is, the eunuch sent by Concubine Zhu to report the matter will not take care of the other party. However, this eunuch is still smart, looked at the Queen Mother, and asked deliberately.
"This is Liu Jieyu, the new canonization of the official family, and she asked this to report to the official family. What do you know about the question just now, hurry up and answer the mourning family. The Empress Dowager Xiang was alerted by Liu Jieyu's questioning and explained impatiently.
"No! I have seen Liu Jieyu, the official family, the concubine has already sent someone to pass through. It was when Cai Daochang went to pay homage to the concubine that he found something wrong, and at that time, several princesses were also by the concubine's side. However, after the concubine learned that she was sick, she had already settled several princesses. The little eunuch truthfully reported to the Queen Mother.
"Nonsense! He is a milky child who knows what medical theory, and immediately put up a fight, and the mourning family must personally visit my good sister today. As soon as he heard that it was this Luo pot mixed in again, the Empress Dowager immediately changed her mind again, and was suspicious of Concubine Zhu's illness, so she immediately ordered someone to prepare to investigate in person.
