Chapter 212 Speculation
Harem disputes are never a trivial matter, the Geng family is also from a noble family, there are talents in the court, he was a courtier valued by the first emperor, and he chose to be the emperor's wife, and they have also shared hardships together.
However, the world is impermanent, the queen of the year was dignified, strong, resolute and forbearing, and there were advantages everywhere, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he became the lord of the world, and this character was not suitable.
The emperor is the most macho man in the world, and facing an aggressive wife who is unwilling to back down and compromise will only make the emperor angry.
In addition, the Geng family does not know how to restrain themselves, attaches too much importance to power, and does everything possible to maximize interests, but ignores the emperor and the people of the world, and desperately collects wealth and power for themselves, which has touched the emperor's bottom line.
The contradictions are becoming more and more intense, but for the sake of the stability of the court, the emperor also endures and endures, and at the same time he misses the old love, in the end, he was a husband and wife in distress, although the love is gone, but he doesn't want to tear his face until he has to, and still wants to leave the last dignity.
The lord of the Geng family is the queen's elder brother, and now he has achieved the position of a first-class master, and he was also an amazing and brilliant character back then, and he was really one of the best in terms of talent.
"There is another thing, I have a little doubt in my heart, the second grandfather was very angry when he heard about the Geng family before, and inadvertently said that he leaked his mouth, if he hadn't been negligent a little back then, how could the eldest brother die, and how could it be the turn of the Geng family kid to take the position."
After speaking, Ziyan's face was not very good.
Zilan frowned, "Do you mean that our own grandfather was harmed by the Geng family, or did they profit from it?" ”
"I always felt that something was wrong, but I asked the second grandfather but refused to tell me, only that I would understand later.
Do you remember that my father said that my grandfather was the same student as the Geng family, they were a class of students, my grandfather was the champion, and Mr. Geng was Tanhua, but he was slightly older than my grandfather and had failed in one session. To say that unfamiliarity is a lie. ”
Zilan nodded after hearing this, "It is indeed doubtful that you want to say this, I have checked my grandfather's notes and codex, and what I think and write is very forward-looking and practical, very thoughtful and practical, and I am by no means a person without talent."
In this way, my grandfather's future should be very good, and he was already a third-rank official at that time, which shows that the emperor still attaches importance to support, and it is not that he does not give a chance, and it is difficult for the emperor to forget it at this level, and there must be a reason for his sudden death. ”
Ziyan wanted to head, "I don't know the specifics, once I asked my father, my father's eyes were red and very sad, and he didn't want to mention it, and I didn't dare to ask again, but I saw that the attitude of the second grandfather and the third grandfather was also a little strange."
It's just that you and I are not very old now, and we don't have enough ability, even if we have enemies, can we take revenge?
Another way of thinking, if it was really the Geng family who intervened and harmed his grandfather, then the second grandfather's attitude of not wanting to say it would be explained.
I have also heard the elders mention that before my grandfather's death, the court disputes were very fierce, almost to the stage of white heat.
There were a few princes who wanted to fight for imperial power, and even the emperor had to endure the situation back then, and several ministers did die, and they were all important ministers, and they died in court disputes. ”
Zilan also sighed after hearing this, "It's really not easy to analyze it like this, maybe many parties have reached out to eradicate dissidents." ”
"Yes, I guessed so, but we have never had any contact with the Geng family, and we have no friendship, which is worth pondering.
It stands to reason that he and his grandfather are classmates and have fame together, how can they not get along, they don't have any friendship at all, this is unreasonable. ”
Ziyan has become more and more transparent, and many things have been able to analyze and think by himself.
"You're right, it's a good thing that we can save Mo Yan in this way. Then you said about the Zhang family, is there a secret instruction of the queen behind it, I read that the palace newspaper said that the queen is very good to the three princes, and the mother and son are very close. ”
Ziyan chuckled, with some disdain on his face, "It's not for the throne, although the third prince and the mother concubine died early, the mother family is still alive, and there is also a certain amount of power, they are just getting together for their own interests."
The queen has no son but has monstrous power, and the Yan family, the mother of the three princes, does not have much power, but they have a prince who is eager to learn and progress, and the two of them will come together if they conspire.
It's a pity that I heard from my uncles that the emperor didn't choose the crown prince, not necessarily the third prince, and I haven't seen the special preferential upbringing of the three princes. On the contrary, the six princes are very promising.
The mother family is strong and also a big family, the mother concubine has an excellent upbringing, and the teaching of the six princes has never been relaxed, and the six princes are now old enough to choose a wife.
Going out, the demeanor, knowledge, talking, receiving people and things are very good, which makes people happy, and they never form parties for personal gain, let alone tie up with court officials, this is a smart person. ”
"Yes, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, and it is useless for you to rush to slap the officials, it will only appear that you are too anxious."
Zilan nodded, but she might not be in a hurry when she was in the game.
If other brothers have the power to help themselves, they will inevitably be anxious. But in fact, the relationship between the emperor and the court officials does not need to be too close, so it is not easy to act impartially, and there are only a few who are loyal.
Only if you are a superior will you understand that the relationship between your boss and your subordinates should be harmonious but not like a family, then there will be problems in the future, and the most taboo is that there is no separation between public and private, especially with politics.
The brother and sister arrived at the old house of the Song family while talking, and Ziyan helped her sister get out of the car and went to the main courtyard together.
Several uncles and second grandfathers, third grandfathers and others in the hall were all in the house, and all the people who were qualified to be present were men and sons, and only Zilan and a girl could attend such an occasion and participate in the discussion with the elders.
"You guys are here, you don't have to salute, sit down, there are some things to discuss."
The second grandfather stopped them from saluting, and his face was a little serious.
Zilan sat in the position of her brother's hand, and she had long been accustomed to such a scene, and she was calm and calm.
"Do you know about the Geng family?"
"After listening to what my brother said, it is probably clear, that is to say, the person who is fighting with us is the Geng family, but there are other alliances?"
Zilan thought for a while and asked.
"The mother family of the three princes is also traced inside, I suspect that it is for the three princes."
The third grandfather pursed his lips and said, with a solemn look.
"I see, even so, we can only advance and not retreat at present, even if we withdraw from the emperor at this time, it is not easy to explain.
You must know that the emperor allowed us to build ships and go to sea, because we asked for that share of the money, we gave up because we were afraid of the Geng family, I am afraid that the emperor will not use the Song family in the future.
The Geng family has reached the point of half a dynasty, does the emperor really want such a situation, I guess he is unwilling.
That's why I will bring up the family family, hoping to have more strength to resist the power of the Geng family, and for the sake of the stability of the court in the future, otherwise this dynasty will change its surname to Geng. ”
