Chapter 10: Old Grudges
Yun Mengru has not yet entered the palace, Mu Bicheng arrived at the Chenglian Hall first, because Princess Xiping moved to Fengyang Palace, Ji Kai is young, and has not yet begun to learn to ride and shoot, not as much as Princess Xiping admires and is close to this little uncle, just said hello, performed a family ceremony, and was sent out with Mu Kite, the two sisters and brothers talked about business, Mu Biwei couldn't wait to ask: "But the eldest brother asked you to bring a handbook?" ”
"Nope." Mu Bicheng shook his head and said, "The eldest brother said that it was not good that the private letterhead was discovered, so he asked me to come directly to tell Sister Ah about the situation." "He's not a good faker, and his face is ugly when he says that.
Mu Biwei looked at his face and already knew it, and still said, "You say." ”
"Ni Zhen was jealous of Ye Zigui, Daddy also knew it back then, but both of them were talented in the military, and it was rare for them to come from a poor family, but Ye Zigui was more than ten years younger than Ni Zhen, so his position was not as good as Ni Zhen, Daddy intended to reconcile them in order to make the two reconcile, but it was always fruitless, and Daddy transferred Ni Zhen to Baling City!" Sure enough, Mu Bicheng opened his mouth and pointed to the topic, saying, "I don't want Ni Zhen to be jealous of this later!" ”
"When did Daddy know that Ni Zhen was related to the loss of Snow Blue Pass?" Mu Bi frowned slightly and asked.
Mu Bicheng muttered: "Soon after Sister Ah entered the palace, the people of our family in the northwest sent back news, implying that Ni Zhen had a relationship with King Anping. ”
"Then why don't you tell me! It's been so many years, and Daddy hasn't impeached him?! Mu Biwei's heart was on fire, and she said angrily!
Mu Bicheng hurriedly said: "Sister, don't be angry first!" Daddy can't either, Sister Ah knows that when Daddy and his eldest brother were escorted back to the capital by Feihewei, Ni Zhen tried to expedite the book with 500 miles to intercede for Daddy! Plus the Ho family at that time...... What's more, although our family in the northwest has suspicions, but there is no ironclad evidence, rashly saying it will only ruin our family's reputation! Later, Ni Zhen did enough to make the scene again, and Daddy couldn't catch him, and there was nothing he could do...... Before I entered the palace this time, Daddy also had something to tell Sister A, now the eldest son of the emperor is about to be enlightened, and the fourth prince will also be enlightened, at least two or three years later, the former dynasty and the harem are probably very turbulent, since our family is now good, let's do it first, otherwise if it is revealed now, I am afraid that it will be used by others, but it will lead to big things! ”
Event...... Mu Biwei's face changed a few times before she said: "In this way, the loss of Xuelan Pass back then was really caused by Ni Zhen colluding with King Anping?" Hey! It's strange that I think Daddy has guarded the pass not once or twice, but he will be mixed in by the Rouran spies......"
Mu Bicheng frowned and asked: "Sister, I don't understand, Ni Zhen is jealous of Ye Zigui and borrowed a knife to kill people, he may collude with King Anping in order to have another person to rely on in the court once the matter is defeated...... But it sounds like King Anping is also hostile to our family? Why is that? ”
"It's a thing of the past." Mu Biwei said lightly, "It has to be traced back to the time of Gaozu." ”
Mu Bicheng listened attentively, not wanting Mu Biwei to say such a sentence, so he immediately changed the topic and asked his wife: "I heard that Chunfang is there again?" ”
"The doctor said it would be a few days before the diagnosis could be confirmed." Mu Bicheng already has an eldest son, so he is not so anxious to have a second son or eldest daughter, and he doesn't care much about it, and asks, "Sister, what kind of grudge do our family have with King Anping?" Is it worth him to use military affairs to murder us? When the Snow Blue Pass was lost, I was young, and I only knew that it was a big deal, but now I am learning the art of war with Daddy, and I feel more and more shocked - that time, one was careless, but the Central Plains was lost! ”
Mu Bicheng said, even if Xue Languan is still in the hands of the Liang people now, he can't help but look solemn!
Mu Biwei looked at him for a moment before saying, "Ni Zhen and King Anping are not stupid, it was just a certain tribe of Rouran that time who entered the customs, and the other tribes were not nearby at that time. ”
"That Anping Wang ......" Mu Bicheng was circled by her, but she didn't forget the place where she was confused.
"He used to be a little disobedient, and Gao Zu didn't want to be the prince, and he wanted our father to help him, but you also know, where is our father willing to meddle in royal affairs?" Mu Bi lowered her long eyelashes slightly, covered her emotions and said lightly, "In order to avoid him, when the emperor was the emperor, Daddy simply asked himself to guard the side, also to avoid this matter, and because of this, he held a grudge in his heart, and he couldn't get along with our Daddy!" ”
Mu Bicheng was shocked: "There is such a thing? ”
"It's good that you know, these are all in the past, and now Your Majesty has sons and daughters under his knees, and this position of prince has nothing to do with him." Mu Biwei advised, "Daddy doesn't like to mention this matter, don't ask him, so as not to upset him." ”
"Sister don't worry." Mu Bicheng is simple, but he is not completely brainless, Mu Biwei explained...... He couldn't help but ask again, "But Sister, King Anping's move is very unwise!" Who doesn't know that His Majesty was personally raised by Gaozu, and he has long been regarded as a grandson, and when Gaozu is dying, he is trying to protect His Majesty's position as the prince! At the beginning, King Jiqu failed to rebel, and all the armies of Daliang were purged, who would dare to help the prince seize the prince? After all, Gaozu and the first emperor were originally emperors who had been in Rongma for half their lives! ”
Mu Biwei said absentmindedly: "Isn't King Anping very smart? Don't talk about it again...... A few days ago, I went to visit Xiping, and she was still thinking about you, shouting that this spring hunt would ask you to teach her archery skills again! Think about how to teach her......"
Mu Bicheng was really distracted......
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Two days before the spring hunt, Cen Ping came over to tell Mu Biwei to explain what he had investigated, and he said: "The slave and maid have turned over the records of the inner division......
"It's good that you know the records of the inner division." Mu Bi frowned slightly, "Just say the result." ”
Cen Ping hurriedly said: "Yes! Fu said, "Jian Xian Hong's soul breaking grass powder has indeed been sprinkled, as far as the slave maid knows, although there are not many people who have the opportunity to do anything, but there are only two palace people who can get the soul breaking grass powder in the palace...... The slave is incompetent, and I still haven't figured out which one it is. ”
"Who?"
"One is Han Cai, the chamberlain of Jiafu Palace, and the other is Tian Yan'er, the palace maid of Qingyun Palace." Cen Ping said helplessly, "Although Han Cai is not the chief chamberlain of Jiafu Palace, but Concubine Xiao Gao has always used him to run errands, and the slave maid detained him to the inner division without asking much, and Concubine Xiao Gao came over to ask for someone in person......
Mu Bi was slightly displeased and said: "You are the supervisor of the inner division, when the chief eunuch Lei served His Majesty, you are the master of the affairs of the inner division!" The little concubine is just a full flower, she has never been promoted to the throne since she entered the palace, and even she can ask for someone from you, how did you do it as a prisoner? ”
Cen Ping complained bitterly and said: "Back to Niangniang's words, this messenger was explained by Niangniang, how dare the slave and maid not do their best?" This is also a chance for the slave to be kind, otherwise the slave and the maid will have to go into the inner division to be punished again and then questioned! The little concubine came over to ask for a slave, and naturally she refused to give it...... But in the end, it was the palace concubine, she forcibly broke into the inner division, and the slaves and maids didn't dare to stop it......"
"Why was Han Cai taken away by her like this?" Mu Bi asked suspiciously, although the little concubine Gao is the niece of the queen mother's concubine, and her identity in the Gao family is more important than the eldest concubine, but she is not favored, not to mention, even the queen mother is very dissatisfied with her because of the things she caused back then, and over time, no one in the palace is afraid of her, but she is thinking of the queen mother and her maiden family, and she will not get along with her.
Cen Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Naturally, it's impossible!" But Han Cai's killing talent, hearing the voice of the little concubine, suddenly loudly scolded the slaves and maids for torturing him to slander the little concubine...... One of the chamberlains in charge of the punishment was not careful, and he actually killed himself by chewing his tongue! He sighed and said, "Little Concubine Gao also said that she would go to His Majesty to seek justice......
"Then let her beg for it." Mu Bi sneered and said, "Eunuch Lei is afraid that he is also waiting to tell His Majesty about his grievances!" ”
Cen Ping just sighed, there was Lei Mo by Ji Shen's side, a concubine who was not favored, and the inner boss didn't take it to heart, and only said: "As for Tian Yan'er, Yang Ninghua didn't give her a head, and even sent someone to the inner division to say that although this Tian Yan'er was serving in the Incense Palace, if she really did something bad, ask the slaves and maids to ask, Yang Ninghua will not be partial, but Tian Yan'er is also unwilling to confess, and the slaves and maids are worried that they will die like Han Cai without proof, and now they can only ask them to suspend their sentences first." ”
In this way, there are a total of two suspected palace people, but one has been killed and one injured, and the problem is that no one recognizes it......
The master of the two palace people, a little concubine, and a Yang Ninghua - Yang Yingcan was promoted to the throne of the sixth palace from the imperial maid to Lierong before the death of Queen Duanming.
These two people and Chenglian Hall are not too good.
First of all, the little concubine, when the queen of Duanming died, the Empress Dowager Gao was too sad, and she wanted to hand over the princess Changkang, who would be raised in the Heyi Palace, to the palace concubine to raise, originally the Empress Dowager Gao was interested in the little concubine, but she didn't want the little concubine Gao to take a fancy to Ji Heng, the second son of the emperor whose biological mother had passed away and had no foreign family, although she was sick several times in the middle, she still refused to give up, and finally angered the Empress Dowager Gao - she simply handed over Princess Changkang to Jiao's family.
And the little concubine Gao finally angered the Empress Dowager Gao and failed to raise the second son of the emperor, but it was because of Princess Xintai - once, Concubine Xiao Gao deliberately got close to Ji Heng, and when she fed him, Ji Heng choked, and happened to make Princess Xintai bump into her, and said a few words doubting whether Concubine Gao would take care of the children and use careless words, Queen Mother Gao couldn't help but blame Concubine Xiaogao, and Concubine Xiao Gao turned around and angered Princess Xintai, and actually gave her a slap in the face...... Princess Xintai returned to Chenglian Hall with a palm print on her cheek, how could Mu Biwei be willing to give up? At that moment, he rushed to Changming Palace, let Ah Shan and Lian Xiang hold down the little concubine, and the old grandmother beside Xintai stepped forward to return the ten slaps of the little concubine, and finally took Xintai to Ji Shen to cry and make a fuss......
In this matter, everyone thinks that the little concubine was domineering when she didn't enter the palace, and it is reasonable to be angry with Princess Xintai for a few reproaches from the queen mother, but in fact, it is Princess Xintai who is unwilling to let her half-brother leave the queen mother's side and be raised by a little Chonghua, so after the little concubine was reprimanded by the queen mother, she deliberately provoked and insulted the little concubine with words in private...... Mu Biwei also knows what Xintai did, but the little concubine Gao is a girl from the Gao family, if she raises the prince...... Xintai has prepared such a good reason, Mu Biwei naturally can't let it go.
As for Yang Ninghua, she used to be a member of the He family's palace, but she once took refuge in Empress Duanming.
After the death of Empress Duanming, she tried her best to flatter the He family, and did not hide her hostility towards the Changjin Palace - the concubines who were close to the Changjin Palace in the past two years have been troubled by her.
Although they are both opponents of Changjin Palace, there are still some differences between Qingyun Palace and Jiafu Palace, since Qingyun Palace is close to the He family, of course, it is also very welcoming to Mrs. Wuyingjun...... The owner of Jiafu Palace is surnamed Gao......
