Chapter 224: Contest
What happened to make Ma Ya feel bad?
That is, the emperor Zhen Brother didn't listen to Ma Ya's words, and took Ma Ya's words as the wind in his ears.
It's more intuitive to say this, of course, the words between Ma Ya and Brother Zhen are much more euphemistic than what they say, and that's what it means!
Ma Ya rarely talks to Brother Zhen, and Ma Ya has always thought that her prestige has always been.
Brother Zhen came to this world by relying on Ma Ya's arrangement, and Brother Zhen also relied on Ma Ya to enter the palace as the prince, and then Ma Ya went through a struggle in the inner palace to calm down the hostility from Concubine Chen and the Queen Mother, so that Brother Zhen successfully became the emperor!
Now Ma Ya's daughter Guanya is still the imperial concubine of the emperor's brother Zhen, and Guanya also gave birth to a son Jian'er for him, and Jian'er is still a prince now.
Ma Ya has considerable confidence that the emperor can listen to herself, and because Ma Ya still has Feng Yiqing's team of secret agents in her hands.
The emperor doesn't listen to her now, which is too disappointing and surprising to Ma Ya.
Ma Ya was also surprised by Wang Fei.
Sister Hua was building a temple for Wang Fei, and Wang Fei used it to pray for himself, but this horse girl didn't take it to heart.
The current Wang Fei rarely goes to Ma Ya's mansion, and this Ma Ya doesn't care.
Sister Hua told Ma Ya that the business in her hands was getting less and less, and the reason was that Wang Fei had replaced the Ministry of Works.
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu has now become Wang Fei's person, and he doesn't care about Sister Hua anymore.
This is also a signal to Ma Ya, that is, Wang Fei doesn't care about Ma Ya and doesn't take Ma Ya in his eyes.
Wang Fei now controls the entire court, and the key is that the emperor Zhen Ge is now like a demon and has been listening to Wang Fei's words.
Ma Ya wondered if the king had said bad things about himself to the emperor.
After thinking about it, Ma Ya felt that it was very possible.
The emperor Zhen didn't listen to his words, and Wang Fei stayed away from him, and these two things were connected, which made Ma Ya know in his heart.
Ma Ya went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother Lian'er, and was complained by Lian'er, the Queen Mother, who originally controlled a force in the court, now the Queen Mother's Party does not count in the court, and occupies a very small voice.
Above the court, it was completely occupied by the voice of the person who stumbled to the king.
This is something that Ma Ya never expected, how could things develop so quickly?!
I used to think that Ma Ya didn't care too much, so information was rarely sent.
But now it's different, Ma Ya immediately asked Feng Yiqing's people to move and investigate, so the information kept being sent to Ma Ya.
They said that when Ma Ya asked Sister Hua to build Wang Fei's mansion and make a lot of money from Wang Fei, Wang Fei had been secretly developing his own strength, and arranged his friends and two nephews in the family to be the key parts of the court, that is, to let them go to the black team and the detective team to be the leader.
During that time, several ministers who rebelled against the king were sent to prison.
As mentioned earlier, Lord Yu is one of the lucky ones.
He was spared because his mother-in-law found the right person under the guidance of others, she found Ma Ya, and Ma Ya came forward to help Master Yu.
As for the other ministers who were later framed by Wang Fei's subordinates, two died in prison, one was dismissed and went home, and the other was demoted to other places to be a seven-grade sesame official.
The problem now is that Wang Fei confuses the emperor, he has mastered the detective team and the black-clothed team, and has controlled many important departments in the court. Among them, the military power was controlled by Wang Fei.
This should not be underestimated the power of Wang Fei.
This is really a sight to behold!
The reason why Wang Fei didn't tear up his face with Ma Ya now was because of the particularity of Ma Ya's identity, he couldn't stimulate Ma Ya, and he also had to consider the emperor's feelings.
Anyway, Ma Ya is the aunt of the emperor's brother Zhen, Wang Fei has the right now, he still has to listen to the emperor's brother Zhen, what does he dare to do to Ma Ya?!
Although the emperor Zhen brother didn't listen to Ma Ya's words, it didn't mean that he didn't have gratitude to Ma Ya, they were related, and Wang Fei couldn't compare to this!
What Wang Fei did to Ma Ya was that Ma Ya still looked submissive on the surface, but in fact, he had hollowed out Ma Ya's right to speak in the court.
Now the ministers of the court and the central government are afraid of the king's trip.
They always thought that Wang Fei and Ma Ya had such a close relationship, and the emperor Zhen Ge trusted Wang Fei, after all, the emperor had been by the emperor's side since he was a child.
They regarded the king as a trinity.
Ma Ya didn't ask about outside affairs for a long time, and the minister who knew the inside story thought that Wang Fei was Ma Ya's spokesperson for Ma Ya's pawn.
Wang Fei also used the power in his hands to accept bribes and suppress dissidents, whoever gave more money he would give him a promotion, and whoever contradicted him would suppress whom, and gradually Wang Fei formed his own force, and this force is getting bigger and bigger.
When Ma Ya learned about this situation, she felt careless.
Ma Ya has no way to restrain Wang Fei now.
Ma Ya can't help it for a while!
Wang Fei's mansion has been staffed, and the caretakers are all his own cronies.
Besides, Ma Ya is playing tricks on Wang Fei at this age, which is a manifestation of incompetence, and doing so will only make the emperor Zhen farther and farther away from Ma Ya.
In the emperor's mind, Wang Fei is his right-hand man, and the emperor is handy with Wang Fei, if Ma Ya harms Wang Fei, what will the emperor think?
The emperor must have thought that Ma Ya was really arguing with him.
Besides, Ma Ya just wants to harm Wang Fei, and she has nowhere to start!
Needless to say, Ma Ya's loss is self-evident.
If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince was Guanya's son, Ma Ya might even feel that he might be in danger.
Who is Ma Ya going to talk to now?
Ma Jun, who is far away in the manor, has long ceased to ask about the world.
His son Brother Zhen became the emperor, and Guan Yasheng's son Jian'er became the prince, and he is now at ease and doesn't ask anything.
What big things can happen to the DPRK and China? It's nothing more than the ministers fighting for power and profit, which has nothing to do with the stable throne, what kind of heart does Ma Jun have? !
What's even worse is that Brother Zhen is older now, Brother Zhen is twenty-two years old, this age is an unruly age, an age that is strong everywhere, it is strange that he will take Ma Ya's aunt in his eyes!
In the opinion of the emperor Zhenge, what Ma Ya played back then was all conspiracy, and the things that Ma Ya did couldn't be put on the table.
Brother Zhen is different, Brother Zhen feels that he is a dignified man, and if a man does things, he has to stand up to the sky, he can't do those things like chickens and dogs.
Wang Fei slapped the horse beside the emperor again, saying that the emperor was mighty, and the emperor was the most virtuous and capable emperor since Taizu.
Wang Fei said that Emperor Brother Zhen is more capable than Emperor Taizu, and Emperor Taizu is still begging and wandering around at Brother Zhen's age.
Wang Fei said that Emperor Huiwu was indecisive and lost the country, and said that Emperor Fukang was a martial artist before he was in his forties.
In short, Wang Fei's praise for the emperor's brother Zhen is mainly based on talking about the shortcomings of the emperor and suppressing the emperor.
Wang Fei said that when Da Gao was the crown prince, look at what he did, the three brothers have been intriguing, Wang Fei said that if Emperor Ji'er hadn't promoted him by Emperor Fukang, he would be nothing.
In short, Wang Fei said a lot, in a word, that is, the emperor in front of him is not good, he is not as good as Brother Zhen, he is Brother Zhen.
Wang Fei said that Ji'er is not Brother Zhen's father, Brother Zhen's father and mother are not around, and he is helpless in the palace, so he has to rely on Brother Zhen to endure the humiliation and burden, and take power by himself after the death of the Queen Mother, how difficult it is!
The emperor Zhen brother is young, he likes people to praise him when he is young, Wang Fei praised the emperor flutteringly, the emperor really thought that he was a wise monarch who had no one before and no one after him!
Wang Fei said that the emperor is brave and strategic, and in this regard, take Ma Ya's daughter Guanya as an example, she is so unruly, and the emperor can make Guanya obedient with a little tricking.
Wang Fei said that today's harem, under the management of the queen, the situation is very good, the emperor and the queen Qian are really an excellent couple, and the two match seamlessly.
Wang Fei held the emperor to the sky, so the emperor's attitude towards Wang Fei is that Wang Fei is a good slave, Wang Fei is a talent, and what Wang Fei does is very good in the emperor's opinion.
The emperor saw that Wang Fei had all the advantages, and Wang Fei had no shortcomings at all.
Wang Fei took power in the court, and said that the ministers were respectful to him as the emperor Zhen Ge was wise, and Wang Fei only conveyed the emperor's intentions, and the ministers regarded the emperor's words as saints.
Can Brother Zhen not swell?
It's no wonder he doesn't swell!
What can Ma Ya do?
The emperor was completely caught in the net by Wang Fei's nice words, and the emperor hid in this net to enjoy himself.
The emperor Zhenge then let Wang Fei take charge of the small things, and he personally asked about the big things.
How did Wang Fei control the courtiers? It is to control from the so-called small things.
What is a trifle?
There is no big or small thing in the court, Wang Fei said that it was small, it was small, and Wang Fei said that it was big, and it was big.
The key is that Wang Fei is in charge, and he said in front of the emperor that he came according to the emperor's wishes.
Is the emperor floating, the emperor is like being drunk, he doesn't know if he had this meaning before, the emperor is not forgetful, he is floating and he likes to listen to the words that are pleasant.
What's more, the emperor is young, he is only twenty-two years old, and he is quite interested in beautiful women at this age. As long as Wang Fei does what he likes, the beauty of the beauty will enter the palace to make the emperor happy!
In this way, it is as if the king is in charge of the affairs of the court, and the emperor is just an empty shelf.
Ma Ya is anxious, is anxious about this.
Ma Ya thinks that Wang Fei is too bad, he can confuse Ma Ya, not to mention that the emperor is still a young and vigorous person who has not dried up, where is he Wang Fei's opponent.
Ma Ya began to move.
Ma Ya couldn't sit still.
Ma Ya asked Feng Yiqing's people, in the court, in the government, in the minister's house, to be active.
Ma Ya began to visit the minister's house, Ma Ya let Sister Hua move, and at the same time, Ma Ya made her still very young girl Guan Ya also active in the harem.
The activity here is that they have to use various methods to build relations with the minister.
Take Guanya in the court as an example, since she was promoted to the imperial concubine by the emperor, since her son became the crown prince, her status in the harem is needless to say.
In the eyes of other concubines, the imperial concubine Guanya and the queen Qian are on an equal footing, and there is Ma Ya behind Guanya and the queen mother as a backer, and the queen can only rely on the emperor behind her, and the future development of Guanya will surpass the queen.
At the beginning, Guanya was high in the harem, and she couldn't look down on anyone, and any concubine saw her and treated her with rules and respect.
And now, when the Queen Mother Lian'er conveyed Ma Ya's meaning to Guan Ya, Ma Ya asked her to win the emperor's heart, the concubines' hearts, and have a good relationship with them, so that Ma Ya would have a good relationship with the families of these concubines outside.
The concubines' family members are all officials, and some of them are important ministers in the court.
Ma Ya is bribing these ministers as if he is buying people's hearts.
Ma Ya was on the periphery, and she also walked around with the ministers, and if the minister's family did something, Ma Ya would go to a lot of courtesy.
Is Ma Ya rich, Ma Ya is not afraid of spending money.
Ma Ya came to the door in person, which flattered the ministers, and then Ma Ya had a short talk with their parents, and then walked back and forth intimately, which laid a solid foundation for Ma Ya to counterattack Wang Fei.
The ministers of the court and the central government didn't know that the relationship between Wang Fei and Ma Ya had been secretly broken.
Ma Ya walked around with them, and Ma Ya in turn used Wang Fei, and whenever Ma Ya talked about Wang Fei Wang, she said it so casually, as if Wang Fei and her were still as close as before.
Ma Ya even said that Wang Fei was quite satisfied with Sister Hua doing his family's business, Wang Fei also said that Sister Hua received less money from Wang Fei, Wang Fei was grateful, and as a result, he drank too much that day, and Wang Fei lay on the table and cried movingly, making it seem that Wang Fei was still Ma Ya's person, Ma Ya said it so casually, people had to believe it.
Does Wang Fei know that Ma Ya is moving?
Of course you do.
Wang Fei warned the ministers intentionally or unintentionally, meaning that in this court, he counts his words, and he says that Ma Ya is an old lady.
He said that Ma Ya has no ideas now, Ma Ya has made enough money, she will enjoy it now, listen to a small drama and drink a little wine in the house every day, what he means is to ask the ministers to polish their eyes better, between Ma Ya and him, who should they listen to.
It's an invisible battle, an invisible tug-of-war.
Wang Fei is still working on changing the ministers of the court, he has put his people in important positions in the court, and he is still looking for the fault of those ministers who are contrary to his own yang and yin, and he is still giving them small shoes to wear.
Ma Ya and Wang Fei were in this invisible battle, and the methods they used were different.
Ma Ya has so much money now that he can't spend it, even if Ma Ya gives gifts to the minister, can't everyone give him 510,000 taels, right?
The gift can only be slightly more thankful than the average person, so that it is not obvious, and giving such a little is simply negligible for Ma Ya!
Ma Ya's method of coercing the ministers is to send silver to the ministers in disguise, and Wang Fei, he is asking for bribes from the ministers, and if the ministers want to be big officials, they must give Wang Fei a lot of silver.
How much money is given for any position, it is the same as the clear price.
Therefore, Ma Ya's method with Wang Fei is very clear, one is that Ma Ya gives the ministers silver, and the other is that Wang Fei asks the ministers for silver.
What will the ministers think?!
The ministers dared not speak out against Wang Fei's unscrupulous looting of silver and arbitrarily disposing of ministers who did not stand with him.
In other words, as long as Ma Ya is active for a few more years, there should not be much of a problem in defeating Wang Fei.
Ma Ya's starting point is to start with the minister, and at the same time, he is also working hard on the emperor.
It's just that the emperor's heart is not easy to pull over for a while, and he has been listening to Wang Fei's words.
However, things changed, and in the second year, an important event happened that completely upended all of Ma Ya's plans.
Ma Ya's plans were completely disrupted.
That's why the so-called plan doesn't change quickly!
So what's really going on?
Let's see the next breakdown!
