When Wang Huaqiang was in the south of Chen, he was kind to Chen Xuan'er, the eldest princess of Chen, after returning to Daxing, Wang Huaqiang soon fought in the south and the north, was born and died, and forgot about it for a while, but he was in the eleventh year of the emperor, and when he came back from the southern expedition, he met Chen Xuan'er's mother, Shi, with a few younger brothers, came to repay the favor.

It turned out that Chen Shubao's father left behind many concubines and children, and there were more than 100 princes and princesses alone, and after Chen's death, all of these people were moved to Daxing, and after a long time, the huge expenses required to support these Nanchen clans became a headache for Yang Jian and Gao Xi.

In the end, Gao Xi thought of a way to get the princesses of the Chen Dynasty into the palace as concubines and palace maids, while the other princes and the concubines in the former Chen Palace all carved out a piece of land in the area of Guanzhong in Longxi and let them fend for themselves under the key monitoring of the local government, and Chen Xuan'er's mother, Shi Concubine, took her two minor younger brothers, and was entrusted by Chen Xuan'er before leaving, and specially found Wang Huaqiang here, so as to thank the benefactor in person.

Wang Huaqiang realized that this was an excellent opportunity at that time, and while generously giving Shi's mother and son a large sum of money, he tried to find a way to get through the relationship in the palace, so that An Sui's family could use the pseudonym Chunfu and become Chen Xuan'er's personal eunuch, and Chen Xuan'er became a concubine in the palace at this time, named Xuan Concubine. But Yang Jian never dared to touch other women because of his well-known strict wife, so this concubine could only stay in the cold palace every day and live like a year.

Because the An Sui family is shrewd and capable, has the ability of financial accounting, and is well versed in the art of power and palace fighting, and Wang Huaqiang spared no effort to keep this intelligence line, a lot of rare treasures were brought into the palace by the An Sui family and asked Chen Xuan'er to give them to other concubines as favors, and in front of Queen Dugu, she did not only give treasures. is even more deferential and low-key. Chen Xuan'er quickly gained a firm foothold in the palace.

And Wang Huaqiang also began to grasp the dynamics of the palace through Chen Xuan'er and An Sui's family. All this, even Gao Xi did not expect, although his power and intelligence are huge, but out of respect and fear for Yang Jian and Queen Dugu, he will not go deep into the palace, which gives Wang Huaqiang the greatest room to play.

Wang Huaqiang sighed and asked, "The two saints in the palace, especially Queen Dugu." What is your view on this matter? ”

An Suijia smiled slightly, and a sharp voice sounded: "Queen, it's still the same, the more you look at the prince, the more unpleasant it is, you also know that when the emperor was eleven years old, the prince got drunk and messed around in the palace, which made the belly of the singer Yun bigger, and he had no choice but to marry the low-born Yun family." ”

"At that time, he had a wife. That was the daughter of the former Northern Wei royal family that Queen Dugu chose for him, Concubine Yuan. Concubine Yuan is dignified and virtuous, has a deep understanding of etiquette, and has the noble blood of the Northern Wei royal family, so she is naturally the most satisfied with Queen Dugu, who is also a Hu person. But Queen Dugu was satisfied, but the prince was not satisfied, which can be seen from the fact that he has been married to the Yuan family for more than ten years but has no sons and half daughters, but he has children with the Yun family, who was born in the singer. ”

Wang Huaqiang laughed: "This is normal, look at the sons and daughters outside us, there are not a few singers who have made my belly bigger, fortunately we have some secret medicine for abortion here, otherwise it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, that Yun family is pregnant with a dragon seed, it must be impossible to defeat it." ”

An Suijia nodded: "That's right, and she also found a way to let the emperor and the queen know about this, so angry that the emperor called the prince and the Yun family over and scolded him, saying that he was a husband if he was unmarried, and this Yun family was also very smart, and at that time he said that this child was born because of the cloud, a gift from God." said that the emperor was overjoyed, turned anger into joy, and made her the Zhaoxun of the East Palace (the name of the concubine of the prince's East Palace, ranked fourth among all wives and concubines), and also promoted her father Yun Dingxing to be the head of the Ministry of Works. ”

Wang Huaqiang said: "That Yun Dingxing is also a craftsman, he came to supervise the construction of this building when he built it, as for the death of Concubine Yuan, I have heard of this, and I also heard that Concubine Yuan's death is also related to Yun Zhaoxun, what is going on?" ”

An Suijia shook his head: "I don't know the specific inside story, Concubine Yuan died of heart disease when you just came back from the Southern Expedition, anyway, Queen Dugu decided that Yang Yong and Yun Zhaoxun did it, but there was no evidence after the open investigation and secret visit, so she could only give up, the emperor didn't say anything about it, but the queen hated the prince because of it, and at every opportunity, she would catch someone and scold the prince for being ruthless and unjust, and murder his wife with the fox spirit." ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed: "Whether it is the hand of the crown prince and Yun Zhaoxun, anyway, as long as Queen Dugu believes that this is the case, the truth of the facts is not important." I heard that the second saint in the palace almost doesn't interact with the prince now, but he often takes the prince's son, Yang Yan, the eldest son born to Yun Zhaoxun, to the palace, and can't put it down, right? ”

An Suijia said with a smile: "It's not bad, now the prince has no concubine, Yun Zhaoxun is a special favorite, once he ascends the throne in the future, he may be the queen, Yang Yan is now the eldest grandson of the royal family, and the second saint in the palace as a grandparent naturally likes it tightly." It's just that in this matter, the prince is afraid that he has committed a taboo again, every time Yang Yan enters the palace for less than a day, he is in a hurry to send someone to take Yang Yan back, last month the emperor was openly angry about this, what did he say about Da Di Fa (Yang Yong's words) and even let him get close to his grandson, what do you want to do!"

Wang Huaqiang's face changed: "Oh, there is such a thing? The relationship between the prince and the second sage is so tense now, instead of using his grandson to ease the contradiction between father and son and mother and son, he does this kind of thing, what does he think in his head? ”

An Suijia shook his head: "I don't know, Gao Servant has always supported him anyway, maybe he also feels fearless, after all, the country can't be without Gao Servant Shot for a day." ”

The green light in Wang Huaqiang's eyes flashed: "Not necessarily, although Gao Servant Shot is a famous minister who governs the world, but when he encounters the red line of the battle for the crown prince, he may not be able to retreat with his whole body, he is now married to the prince, and he has been advancing and retreating together for so many years, if the emperor really intends to abolish the prince, then Gao Servant Shot must be the first to be brought down." By the way, is there any new movement from King Jin (Yang Guang)? ”

An Sui's family smiled maliciously: "It's still the same, since Jiangnan was pacified, the emperor held the then governor of Yangzhou, King Yang Jun of Qin, sent him to Bingzhou, and let the King of Jin sit in Yangzhou, he has to go back to Daxing every year, stay for two months, and stick together with Queen Dugu all day long, and do his filial piety." ”

Wang Huaqiang thought that Yang Guang tried to dedicate the demon concubine Zhang Lihua to Yang Jian to invite favor, and he didn't know what the situation would be like in the palace if he hadn't beheaded Zhang Lihua back then, he knew that Yang Guang was a very good actor, and he had an unstoppable heart for the upper position, and he must also know that the relationship between the prince and his father and mother was extremely bad, and he would not let go of this annual opportunity to show filial piety.

Wang Huaqiang learned from other sources that Yang Guang knew that Queen Dugu was a resolute defender of monogamy, and had made Yang Jian swear never to have children with other women in this life, and the crown prince Yang Yong hated Queen Dugu the most was that he was a romantic person and a big carrot.

So Yang Guang has been acting in front of Queen Dugu all these years, he himself is a lustful person, and there are many beautiful concubines, but every time the messenger of the father and queen mother comes to the door, he hides these concubines, leaving only some old and ugly servants, and even the children born to these concubines are all drowned, leaving only a few children born with the concubine Xiao, and therefore deeply loved by Queen Dugu.

In addition, Yang Guang has always behaved politely and virtuously to the outside world, especially likes to make friends with literati and writers, these public intellectuals who have controlled public opinion have been reciting Yang Guang's virtuous name, which is in stark contrast to Yang Yong, the prince who is prodigal, drunk day and day in the East Palace, and has a spring supper every night.

Wang Huaqiang unconsciously thought of the terrible murderous aura that Yang Guang had when he confronted Gao Xi in front of him in the palace of Jiankang, this is the true face of this gentle-looking prince, Yang Yong seems to be unable to fight Yang Guang, but after all, there is Gao Xi's Dinghai God Needle, which side should he bet on? Gradually, he went out of his mind. (To be continued......)
