Chapter 222: Can't You Believe in the Palace?
"What the emperor means is that the prince is an adult and has his own ideas and ideas, and the emperor can be a peacemaker for Jing'anhou, but he can't force the prince to return to Jing'anhou's mansion." Gonggong Lu told the truth and did not hide anything, "What's more, the prince has already told the people of the world that the king of Nanxiang, who has sacrificed heaven and earth in front of the tablets of the ancestors of the Nanxiang Palace, is in charge of the 300,000 horses in the north of the palace, if the prince returns to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, the Nanxiang Wangfu is the real successor, and the army in the north has no owner, which will shake the foundation of Dahong." ”
This is a serious matter, even if it comes from the mouth of the emperor and spreads it, it will make people jealous and obscure about Han Weici. Especially when the emperor is still in the prime of life, and the prince is not scheduled, it can be said that the emperor values the cold and does not give up, and has the heart to love and cherish talents. But once the emperor reaches his twilight years and the prince becomes the emperor, such words will become the words of the future king, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no bitterness between the monarch and the minister.
Your Majesty, what is his mind about Han Weici?
Jiang Changxi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, because the heart of the emperor was unpredictable, and he was also a minister who had not resigned.
"That's right." No matter how uncomfortable he was, Jiang Changxi faced Gonggong Lu, his face was also calm and waveless, and he didn't seem to be affected by Gonggong Lu's relay, "When Gonggong Lu looked at the Marquis of Jing'an, did he feel that he was different?" "It's not that Jiang Changxi wants to suspect Jing'anhou, she just asks a routine question on the matter. After all, it was Gonggong Lu who was mentioned separately after the third prince. Jiang Changxi believes that Gonggong Lu is not a person with no purpose, and there must be a reason for deliberately bringing it up.
Sure enough, Father-in-law Lu's face changed slightly, and he also admired Jiang Changxi's face not changing after hearing such words, and noticed that he was deliberately careful. "If you want to say that the Marquis of Jing'an is different, it's not. It's just that when the Hou Ye went to the imperial study, he met all the noble concubines he had heard of...... The princess knew that Lu Liu, the stepwife of the Hou Ye, was the sister of the concubine, and the late sinner Lu Shenxing was still the nephew of the concubine. ”
Of course, Jiang Changxi knew that Lu Shenxing's mother was from the Liu family. Not only her, but also Mrs. Lu, the mother of Jing'anhou, is also from the Liu family, and her aunt and nephew marry together, which is not uncommon in the marriage system of various families.
It's just that Jiang Changxi sometimes thinks about it, and he admires these Liu family girls, one by one, for the wealth and glory of the Liu family, they have sacrificed generation after generation, the Queen Mother and Liu Guifei's aunt and nephew, and Mrs. Lu's aunt and nephew are also like this.
It's sad to think about.
"yes, I know." Jiang Changxi nodded and motioned for Gonggong Lu to continue.
Gonggong Lu continued, "Listening to the palace people who are waiting, the concubine Niangniang heard that the Marquis of Jing'an wanted to ask the emperor to be the master and wanted to welcome the prince back to the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, so she went to stop her. ”
"Back then, the eldest princess of Nanxiang and the Marquis of Jing'an reconciled, saying that it was a difficult situation for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the husband and wife were not harmonious, but in fact, the Lu Liu clan also played a lot of roles in the middle, and the old prince of Nanxiang was still alive at that time, and he had a hot temper, and there were many conflicts with the Marquis of Jing'an and the Liufu, and the relationship between the three families has been frozen since then."
Father-in-law Lu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of all the things back then. He also showed favoritism to the eldest princess of Nanxiang in his words, perhaps in front of Jiang Changxi, the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess of Nanxiang, Gonggong Lu had no intention of hiding it, and said bluntly: "Xu is that his parents are not harmonious, the environment dictates it, the prince is very precocious, and because Mrs. Lu does not like the eldest princess of Nanxiang, she hates the house and Wu, and even the prince is harsh and difficult to get along, so that the prince has not been close to her since he was a child." Later, the Marquis of Jing'an drank and made a mistake, causing some romantic affairs, and when the eldest princess was frightened and had a difficult birth, the little princess was born and lost his breath, and the prince completely hated the two families of Lu Liu. After the eldest princess and the marquis left, the prince took his mother's surname, and the old prince asked the prince to inherit the title. ”
"Over the years, the old prince and the eldest princess have gone one after another, and the prince has little contact with them in the north, and later returned to Lindu, and the emperor and the eldest princess of Heyang have been ordered to meet each other, and all forces are involved, and the prince has not touched the Lu Liu family, but this does not mean that the three families have reconciled. Concubine Liu Guifei stopped the Hou Ye from taking the prince back to the Hou Mansion in Jing'an, because she was afraid that the prince would reconcile with the Lu family, and the strength of the Han and Lu families would deal with the Liu family. ”
Even if Han Wei resigned and followed his mother's surname, he couldn't erase the fact that he used to be surnamed Lu, and he still had the blood of the Lu family in his bones. What if Han didn't give up thinking about this and forgave the Lu family by blood? The Lu family escaped Han Wei's revenge because of this, but what about the Liu family? The little relationship between the Liu family and Han Weiqi was also buried by Mrs. Lu, who had never treated the eldest princess of Nanxiang well. What's more, Han Wei's sister, who was just born and swallowed her breath, died because of the Liu family......
The matter has come to this, in the face of the cold with heavy troops in hand, the Liu family had to panic, and they had to pull a cushion to die, and Liu Guifei blocked Jing'anhou's way.
It's just that Concubine Liu didn't expect that the Liu family would let the son of Marquis Jing'an be the son, and even promised to include the concubine in the name of Lu Liu's family and become a legitimate son-in-law.
said that the concubine has a narrow vision, does not become a big tool, and can't support the lintel of the Hou Mansion, and says that Han Weici is the son of his first wife, and he is the heir of the Hou Mansion in the right name. Phew, fooling her, she doesn't know that Jing'an Hou is afraid of being soft and afraid of hard, and if she is afraid of the cold, she has a heavy army in her hand, can she overthrow Jing'an Hou's Mansion at any time?
"What is my father-in-law trying to tell me about telling me so much?" It's just that Concubine Liu Guifei didn't see Jing'anhou in private, and it can't be a testimony to Jing'anhou's poison against the emperor's worms.
Gonggong Lu glanced at Jiang Changxi, and he was very powerless to ask her knowingly, but he couldn't do anything with her, so he could only continue: "No matter the antecedents, the Liu family has always regarded the prince as a thorn in the flesh, and they can't wait to deal with it quickly. The prince is an important minister in the court, and he is protected by the emperor, and the queen mother's concubine and the Liu family are not able to go beyond the emperor to deal with the prince. But if one day, the three princes become the supreme people, the Liu family, who are the mother of the three princes, will definitely rise to the top, and it will be much easier for them to deal with the prince. ”
"My father-in-law is right." Jiang Changxi had no way to refute it at all, this was a fact after all, "So father-in-law, is it the person of the fourth prince?" "I really can't blame Jiang Changxi for having such a guess, after all, the highest call for the position of the prince now, except for the third prince, is the fourth prince who is far away in the south. These two have also been fighting each other for many years, and I don't know how many people have been involved and strangled in the competition. In the future, once one person ascends the throne, the fate of the other will be self-evident.
"Who the old slave will be in the future, the old slave doesn't know. But as long as the emperor is on the day, the old slave is the person who serves the emperor. Father-in-law Lu did not show panic because of Jiang Changxi's words, and calmed down to guess that she would kill without seeing blood.
Jiang Changxi nodded, indicating that she knew, and as for Gonggong Lu's words, she believed a little, I was afraid that only she knew.
"Father-in-law Lu's loyalty to the emperor, this princess knows. Please also rest assured that the heart of the loyal monarch of the Nanxiang Wangfu can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the top priority is to save the emperor and solve the emperor's problems. As for who the poisoner is, I will also seek truth from facts, and I will not wronged anyone because of personal grudges, nor will I shield anyone because of personal feelings. ”
Gonggong Lu finally showed a look of appreciation and satisfaction, and saluted Jiang Changxi: "The prince's loyalty to the monarch is naturally not allowed to be ignored. The princess is benevolent and righteous, and she is also a leader in women. ”
"Father-in-law Lu's good words, this princess will bear it." Jiang Changxi said that everyone loves to hear good words, and she is no exception. "Has the eldest princess of Heyang entered the palace recently?" After all, the eldest princess of Heyang is the daughter of the Empress Dowager Liu, if she wants to enter the palace, stopping her will make people suspicious, if she is not stopped by the wisdom of the eldest princess of Heyang, she will definitely find that there is something strange in it, and Jiang Changxi is still very worried about the eldest princess of Heyang.
"Nope." Gonggong Lu can also be regarded as a person who knows the eldest princess of Heyang better, "Now that the spring is warm, the willows are pulling branches, it is when the catkins are flying, and the flowers are in full bloom, although the eldest princess of Heyang likes flowers, she is most afraid of catkins, so when it comes to spring, she rarely goes out." Only occasionally when I can't bear it anymore will I go out of the city to enjoy the flowers. ”
That's good. Jiang Changxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said that he had no other problems.
Seeing this, Gonggong Lu said, 'Please rest well, princess', and then went back to the main hall to guard the emperor.
Jiang Changxi leaned on the soft couch, propped his hands on his forehead, closed his eyes and recuperated, but his mind was thinking about the profound meaning of Lu Gonggong's words. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
When there was a big movement outside, Jiang Changxi was awakened, and couldn't help but sigh with his forehead, even if she solved the blood Gu, she didn't know what year it was tonight, and I was afraid that it would not be able to change for a while, which was not a good phenomenon.
Secretly alerting himself to the future, he must pay attention, Jiang Changxi got up from the soft collapse, approached the window, and looked out as much as possible to hide his figure.
Through the small window crack, the line of sight was seriously limited, and Jiang Changxi could only see a small corner in the main hall of the emperor's bedroom, which happened to fall on the emperor's dragon couch, she glanced at it, and the dragon couch was empty.
Jiang Changxi was puzzled, forget about others, where did Grandpa Lu go?
There was still the noise outside, Jiang Changxi didn't dare to go out rashly, and only held his breath to distinguish the noise outside.
It may be too far away, and all Jiang Changxi can hear is vague and intermittent voices, some of which are unfamiliar to her, and she asks with a little annoyance.
"Why doesn't the concubine let the ministers see the emperor?" A minister said.
"My father is sick, and the imperial doctor said that he needs to recuperate, so it is inconvenient for people to disturb him." Concubine Liu stopped outside the dormitory and refused directly.
"The emperor is sick, and the ministers should visit." Another minister said.
"There are many people, disturbing the emperor's recuperation, and you adults are afraid that you can't afford it." Liu Guifei snorted coldly, but she didn't give it to the past.
"The minister doesn't have to see the emperor. Only the war in the south was tight, and the emperor did not come to the court to listen to the government for a few days, and the ministers of the court and the central government were panicked, which was not conducive to stabilizing the situation in the court. The minister just wants to listen to the emperor's words and appease the hearts of the ministers. ”
"After all, you can't trust this palace?" Concubine Liu Guifei stared at the old minister who had repeatedly confronted her, and narrowed her eyes dangerously.
