Chapter 363: The Unknown Past
Mama Fu is the old lady's dowry maid, and in the past, Ning Fanzhi and the old lady would not avoid Mama Fu when discussing things in the palace, so Mama Fu was also one of the few people who knew the old things of Concubine Rong back then, that is, even Shangguan Yunxin, who chased Yuexuan, may not have Mama Fu to know clearly.
"What the old slave has never understood is that if the emperor really disliked Concubine Rong Niangniang, why should he treat Concubine Rong Niangniang only after severely punishing the entire Rong clan as the old lady said." Mama Fu paused and said, "Even after Concubine Rong died of illness in the cold palace, she posthumously sealed the mourning of her imperial concubine, and deliberately moved Concubine Rong's coffin into the concubine mausoleum closest to the imperial mausoleum. ”
Fu Mama originally thought that the emperor's gift to Concubine Rong was just for the living, but as the old lady said before, the Rong family was sent to the land of Longnan by Emperor Qi because of the crime of rebellion, and the Rong family was a criminal minister, and Emperor Qi abolished her position after Concubine Rong's death, and no one would talk about it when the straw mat was wrapped and thrown to the mass grave.
"It is rumored that the emperor was angry with Concubine Rong because of Prince Rong's rebellion, so that he completely disliked Concubine Rong, and Concubine Rong was left out in the cold palace to cause depression in the five internal stagnation, and finally died of illness in the cold palace." The old lady only fell to the imperial concubine because of Ning Fanzhi, so she could know a little more about Concubine Rong than others, but she didn't know the hidden secret, so she said, "As for the hidden secret, I'm afraid that only the imperial concubine who once single-handedly wiped out the Rong family knows best." ”
Mama Fu's hand holding the lacquer plate couldn't stop shaking after hearing the old lady's words, and subconsciously glanced around, and then after handing the tea to the old lady, she came to the old lady's side, and lowered her voice and said: "Isn't the fall of the Rong family that Prince Rong saw that Concubine Rong was chasing the back position hopelessly, so he became rebellious?" ”
"There is no excuse for the sin of desire, let alone the sin of desire that is deliberately added." The old lady skimmed the tea foam in the celadon cup with the tea lid and said, "Although the imperial concubine took the lead on the way to compete for the back position because of her prominent family background, but Concubine Rong has a childhood sweetheart with the emperor, take 10,000 steps back, even if Concubine Rong loses to the imperial concubine in the competition for the rear position, but as long as the emperor's love for Concubine Rong is still there, as long as Concubine Rong can give birth to a prince for the emperor, the emperor may not be able to look at the relationship with Concubine Rong and set up Concubine Rong's son as the prince, why should Prince Rong be in the time when everything is not clear, He hurriedly participated in the rebellion case. ”
Mama Fu chewed on the old lady's words in her heart, and finally realized that "Could it be that the fall of the Rong clan is also the handiwork of the imperial concubine." ”
"The emperor stepped on the white bones of his brothers, and the prime minister's daily service in front of the king is like walking on thin ice, for fear that one accidentally will anger Long Yan." The old lady then said, "Although the Rong family did not have a rebellious heart back then, they also had the intention of competing for the throne, if Concubine Rong can become the queen of the Great Zhou, Prince Rong and the Rong family can hold power like the Xiao family, instead of a king with only the name of a vassal king but no real power." ”
Mama Fu didn't know the set of checks and balances in the court, but she knew that even though the imperial concubine had tried her best to send the Rong family to the land of smoke and miasma in Longnan, the queen's throne still did not fall on her head.
"The old slave feels that there are some things that are really intentionally planted and the flowers do not bloom, and he has no intention of planting willows and willows." Mama Fu then said, "The imperial concubine tried hard and failed to sit on the throne of the queen, but now the queen entered the palace as the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Suzhou as a nobleman, but later she was canonized as the queen by the emperor." ”
"Today's queen is indeed a good fortune, when the imperial concubine and the Rong family fought to the death for the throne, it ended in the defeat of the Rong family." The old lady took a sip of tea as she spoke, and then said, "In the end, it really made the current queen choose a big bargain." ”
"But then again." Mama Fu then said, "Although the emperor forcibly put Empress Wen on the back seat despite public opinion, the power of the middle palace is still firmly controlled by the imperial concubine, and the queen has left the palace to practice in order to protect Prince Yu. Then he sighed again: "It can be seen that good luck is only temporary, and you still have to plan like the imperial concubine, even the Ye family of our Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is also the best example of the Bai family." ”
When Ye Lanshuang married into the Zuo Xiangfu under the name of a talented woman in the imperial capital, I don't know how many hearts of the princes and grandsons were broken, Ye Lanshuang was famous in the capital at that time, and the people who asked for relatives at that time almost stepped on the threshold of the Taifu Mansion, and the Ye Taifu at that time just wanted to marry Ye Lanshuang to an ordinary scholarly family.
But that year, Ning Fanzhi met Ye Lanshuang in the poetry club by chance, and was also fascinated by her talent.
At that time, Ye Lanshuang was also at the age when her love was beginning to bloom, seeing a young talent like Ning Fanzhi, who had entered the court as an official as a first-class champion, such an excellent man held his whole heart in front of Ye Lanshuang, how could she not be tempted.
When Ning Fanzhi first came to propose marriage. Mrs. Ye was unwilling to marry his beloved daughter into the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, although Ning Fanzhi was an elegant and talented person on the surface, but Mrs. Ye, who was an official in the same dynasty, saw the ambition under his surface peace.
Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Chen at that time did not agree to that marriage, Ning Fanzhi studied hard for ten years, once he was the top student in high school, and everything he wanted and hoped for was the lintel of the glorious Ning family, and Taifu's Mansion was the door of the clear stream for generations, and Mrs. Ye did not want his daughter to marry into the family of the powerful and be involved in the court, and only hoped that Ye Lanshuang could marry an ordinary scholarly family, and be able to live a peaceful and happy life.
I have to say that Ye Lanshuang at that time was confused by Ning Fanzhi, who was as gentle as jade in front of her, and actually violated Mrs. Ye's plan against her, and begged Mrs. Ye who regarded her as the pearl of her palm, and finally Mrs. Ye finally agreed to Ning Fanzhi's proposal to marry because she couldn't bear to see her beloved daughter crying silently every day.
