Chapter 248: Letter from Home

For Nianyun, she thanked the Guo family for their support and help over the decades, but as an empress, this matter was too shocking, and she was unwilling to do it.

Although Guo Yan is right, there was a Wu Meiniang in this dynasty, and everyone is psychologically more likely to accept an empress, this is the time of day; Heng'er's intelligence is mediocre, and his ears are soft, he is easy to listen to traitors and ministers, and the civil and military ministers are all in his eyes, and there is no more suitable candidate, which is a geographical advantage; And the prestige and power of the Guo family, the reputation she has accumulated over the decades, this is human.

The time and place are favorable, but he also ignored one point, that is, when Wu Meiniang was the emperor, she appointed cool officials and killed like crazy, killing how many opponents of the Li royal family were killed, and how many disasters did she bring to the people of Li to gain stability and support?

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was in its heyday, and later there was the Kaiyuan era of Emperor Xuanzong, which continued the century-old national glory of the Tang Dynasty. But now? In the past ten years, although Li Chun has also made quite a lot of political achievements, to say that Yuan and Zhongxing have also made it, but no matter how Zhongxing is, it can no longer be compared with the previous prosperity.

If she comes again and lets these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains change her surname to Guo, I am afraid that after a hundred years, it will bring an unprecedented disaster.

The Li royal family no longer exists, and because the Guo family has no successor, there may be a bloody storm of fighting for the storage position behind her, and at that time, I am afraid that the Guo family may not be able to keep it.

At that time, I am afraid that it will only fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames.

Empress Zetian can finally cut off the throne by herself and change her name to Empress Zetian Great Sage, but what about her? If she loses the Tang Dynasty because of her, she will become a sinner of the Tang Dynasty, and she will have no shame to go underground to see the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and she will have no shame to see Chun.

Guo Yan wouldn't care about this, because for him, he might only care about her, so he couldn't see her being wronged, so he said this.

But she Guo Nianyun, she is not only the daughter of the Guo family, but also the daughter-in-law of the Li family. The spirit of this time is still indisputable in the end.

The contradiction between her and Heng'er can only be resolved by trying to resolve it, and it cannot follow the example of the Wu family to abolish it.

And one of the key figures in this is Wu Jieyu.

This Wu Jieyu is ambitious, and she is bold enough to dare to oppose her, the queen mother, in this Daming Palace, and even try to drive a wedge between the emperor and the queen mother. What's more, she has also achieved initial results.

This woman, it can be said that she is not afraid of power, it can also be said that she is not afraid of tigers when she is a newborn calf, in short, as a three-grade concubine with no big background but so arrogant, her background and family background determine that she does not have too far-reaching knowledge, and always thinks that having the emperor's favor is everything.

And this favor is not entirely on her own, but on her having a face similar to Luoluo.

To deal with such a girl, you need to make her understand two things, first, the emperor's favor is actually too thin, and many things cannot be solved by favoring. Second, even if the emperor protects you, if someone wants to die, there are 10,000 ways.

Empress Dowager Guo sat in the wide chair covered with bear skin, raised her hand and instructed the green pothos, "Go and bring the roster of the Yeting Bureau to the mourning family, what did the ancestors of Wu Jieyu's family do for a living for three generations, and there are still some people in the family." ”

During this period of time, Wu Jieyu can be described as a spring breeze, His Majesty stays in the Chengxiang Hall every day, and the Queen Mother does not trouble her again, and even the Penglai Hall looks like it has lost to the Chengxiang Palace, and even sent some quite valuable rewards one after another.

Even she herself is suspicious, could it be that the Empress Dowager Guo, who has been in the Daming Palace for more than ten years and has a good reputation all over the world, really just relies on the favor of the first emperor and the power of the Guo family? She just used such a small trick to make the Queen Mother helpless?

Even if she still had doubts, Wu Jieyu was still quite complacent, and the clothes in the Chengxiang Hall began to become more and more luxurious.

Wu Jieyu sat in the house and drank Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoot tea that was paid tribute in the palace, while instructing the palace maid Lily of the Valley: "This tea is very good, you wrap one or two catties, ask someone to bring it back to your father, and ask them to taste it too, but it is many times stronger than the local tea drunk at home!" ”

Lily of the valley hesitated: "I'm afraid there is less than a pound left in the tea can, it doesn't seem to be enough......"

"It's not enough, people are all dead, won't they go to the Shangshi Bureau to ask for it? A few days ago, I saw that there were still thirty or forty catties in the Shangshi Bureau! Wu Jieyu pursed her lips, she is not short of things now, but it is a pity that there is no satisfactory manpower.

She disliked that the little girl in the family was either clumsy or too outstanding, and she didn't pick out the good ones in the end, so she had to use the palace maids rationed in the palace. This palace maid is timid and small, and she always says that this is not in accordance with the rules and that is not in accordance with the rules. What are the rules, isn't it just that the powerful set rules and regulations to restrain the low-status people!

Lily of the valley still looked a little embarrassed: "But Jieyu has already asked for a pound of purple bamboo shoot tea from the Shangshi Bureau this month......"

Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoot tea is the best tribute tea in the palace, except for the queen mother who doesn't like it and has been drinking Yangxian tea, the rest of the palaces are not divided according to the grade. In order to summon important ministers from time to time, the Zichen Hall uses a lot of tea, and the rest is only more than a catty a year even if it is a second-grade Zhaoyi.

Sanpin Jieyu can only get three or four taels a year, and the rest are filled with Naxi tea and Kuizhou tea, so Wu Jieyu is pampered, and she has already taken a pound this month, and the Shangshi Bureau didn't say much, but Lily of the Valley already felt that it was very inappropriate.

Wu Jieyu doesn't care about these, can everyone get a favor, since she has it, she naturally has to make good use of it. She was a little impatient, "Tell you to go, you just go, what are you doing in a rambling manner?" Your Majesty is in the Chengxiang Hall every day, can this palace still give Your Majesty a drink of Naxi tea? ”

After a while, Lily of the Valley came back, and sure enough, she brought another pound of purple bamboo shoot tea. /cpro/ui/cm">

Lily of the valley bit her lip and didn't speak for a long time. It is said that she was assigned to Wu Jieyu, and Wu Jieyu is her master, both glory and loss. But why does Jieyu not understand the truth that things must be reversed? She is still young, she has only been in the palace for a few months, and she is cooking oil and flowers like this, although she doesn't know too much, she faintly feels that this is not a sign of deep blessings!

After Wu Jieyu finished speaking, Lily of the Valley remembered something, took out a letter from her sleeve, lowered her head and said: "Fang Cai slave went to the Liushang Bureau, met the Erxiang father-in-law of the Yeting Bureau, and said that there is a letter from your family. ”

"A letter from home? Take it to the palace to see, the palace is trying to ask someone to go back to Pingyao. ”

Recently, the family letter is always good news, either someone came to send money to her father, or someone came to her brother to tell the matchmaker, but the object was the girl whose family used to want to climb high.

Wu Jieyu excitedly pulled out the letter paper, only to read two lines, and her brows were twisted.

Do these people want to ride on the tiger's head and brush their beards? This letter was written by her mother and younger brother, saying that her father, who was the commander of Pingyao County, had been imprisoned by the Fenzhou Governor for embezzling the official money for disaster relief the year before.

Wu Jieyu hadn't entered the palace the year before last, and she knew about the embezzlement of official silver. As a seven-grade county magistrate, my father's monthly income is actually very low, and there is always a little stretch to support them, so there are also some money and silk items from time to time.

That year, because the three sisters in the family were almost the age of marriage, the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law of the family all begged for dowry from their father, so when the disaster relief official money arrived, the father was moved and included more than two-thirds of it in his own pocket.

There has been no movement in the past two years, and the whole family thought that this matter was over. How do you know, it's been two years since the incident, and she also entered the palace to be a three-grade Jieyu, the holy family is long, it should be when their martial arts family is proud, how could someone come to find their bad luck at this time?

In this matter, she said that she couldn't bear anything, so she had to fight back, so that people could see that her three-grade Jieyu was not easy to mess with!

So when Li Heng came to Chengxiang Hall in the next court, Wu Jieyu was full of grievances, and sat at the table and ignored him.

Li Heng knew that every time she made this appearance, she must have wanted something again, so he came up to coax her: "What's wrong with Concubine Ai today, what do you want again?" ”

Wu Jieyu pouted and feigned anger: "Hmph, in Your Majesty's heart, is it true that the concubine can only think about things every day?" ”

This...... Li Heng secretly said in his heart that there was actually a complaint, not to ask for something, then it must be the complaint he wanted to sue again.

To be honest, although he dotes on Wu Jieyu, most of it is also for her face. And this woman is easy to coax, much easier to coax than those women who are tall. She just likes good things, likes money, and doesn't want much, and he doesn't mind coaxing her with such things that are everywhere in the palace.

As for her complaint, he believed in it earlier, but as the days went by, he gradually got a little tired of it, and slowly felt like he was instructing his big yellow dog, "Go and bite him, that person bullied my master today" and so on.

Li Heng took Wu Jieyu in his arms and said with a smile: "That's ...... Someone bullying you again? ”

"Your Majesty~" Wu Jieyu coquettishly beat him twice in the chest with a pink fist, twisting *** while twisting, "With Your Majesty's protection, where is there anyone who dares to bully the concubine now, but ...... But someone bullied the concubine's grandfather, speaking of which, he can be regarded as His Majesty's father-in-law, is it not considered to be a loss of face to His Majesty? ”

Belch...... Li Heng frowned slightly, what kind of logic is this? He dotes on her now, and it's just a matter of protecting her alone, but what about her family...... After all, as the emperor, with seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, how many fathers-in-law does he have! If all the concubines came to him for relatives when they had something at home, no matter how muddy he was, he would know that it would be very troublesome.
