Chapter 495: The Newcomer (Part II)
In fact, Emperor Duanhua has never summoned Xue Concubine to sleep, of course, because of his hatred for Cui Jianlian; But the reason why I haven't been to Liuxia Palace until now is not that I forgot Zhong Meiren and Jiang Cairen.
It's that He Xiuyi has been in the palace for a short time, although it is said that in the harem of Emperor Duanhua, except for the queen, there is no master who cannot be neglected, but Xiuyi, a young man who is only fifteen years old, is in charge of the sixth palace at first glance, and he is a little difficult in the end.
If the emperor doesn't often come to her to sit down and support her, how can the palace people who have accumulated years under her be willing to listen to her dispatch?
After all, Empress Wei fell out of favor and fell out of favor, so she still lives in Weiyang Palace!
The palace people who are accustomed to ups and downs, how can they not keep a hand to avoid one day when the queen turns over and settles old accounts with them?
And Emperor Duanhua hoped that He Xiuyi would eliminate Empress Wei's power and influence in the palace as soon as possible, so as to prevent the empress from using this to threaten herself, and of course she would vigorously support He Xiuyi.
In this way, it is natural to run towards Qibao Palace for a while.
And Tian Baolin, who was fortunate to live in the same palace by the way, also returned to Liuxia Palace, and went to Liuxia Palace specifically, but he couldn't spare time - not to mention just looking at the positions of Zhong Meiren and Jiang Cairen, he knew that their backgrounds were just ordinary, and Emperor Duanhua naturally didn't mind hanging them out for a few days.
However, Zhong Meiren and Jiang Cairen, who are only ten years old, have not even had the opportunity to face the saint so far, let alone speculate on their intentions?
The two of them were so anxious to die and come back to life, for fear that they would die of old age in this palace as the Empress Dowager Su said!
"The queen mother is the queen mother." Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, Empress Wei listened to the 1510 people below tell the newcomers about the recent situation, and smiled slightly, "He Qinwan has taken advantage of the light of a good background, and entering the palace at this time must be a smooth journey!" As long as she is obedient and has children, there is hope for threatening the status of this palace in the future! And He Wenqiong has always been interesting, and the granddaughter he taught must not be like those shallow-eyed things, a little proud, and she will tremble! In this way, there is a possibility of long-term favor! ”
"But that Concubine Xue is only one level lower than He Qinwan, but because she is like the cheap maid of the Xiao Cui family, she is destined to not be favored by His Majesty!"
"Originally, Xiao Cui's kind of person was a little arrogant and strong in temperament - the queen mother deliberately chose this Xue concubine, and specially arranged for her to live in the same palace with He Qinwan, but it was clear that He Qinwan would be planted with a nail by her side!"
Empress Wei took a sip of tea when she said this, "That Tian Baolin can't see anything now, Jiang Cairen, who is most likely to please His Majesty, and Zhong Meiren, who seems to be the most scheming, have been arranged to another Liuxia Palace, which clearly gives Jiang Cairen a chance to come out!" ”
Xin Xian, who was serving on the side, was puzzled: "But Your Majesty hasn't been to Liuxia Palace these days?" ”
"How many days have they only been in the palace?" Empress Wei said disapprerovingly, "Your Majesty has been blessed the most these days with He Qinwan, but everyone knows that this is just because He Qinwan has a good grandfather!" When it comes to affection for her, how much do you think it will be? Now it's late October, and it's about to enter the end of the year, and the royal family can't be busy with many things, His Majesty said that the selection will not be carried out like this, but according to the palace speculation, it will definitely be too late to select another batch this year. ”
"From now to the beginning of spring next year, in three or two months, there are only five newcomers, and Your Majesty is not seventy or eighty, I can't remember this!"
Xin Xian's eyes flashed, and she said: "Niangniang, since you are sure that Jiang Cairen will please Your Majesty, and now they are all tossing and turning in Liuxia Palace, do we want to ......?" ”
"Accept her? Not necessarily. When Empress Wei heard this, she shook her head without thinking, "Her appearance and temperament, although she may be liked by His Majesty." But this palace told you that if we helped her, His Majesty would not touch her - you don't want to think about it, what will these newcomers do to enter the palace? ”
Isn't it because Emperor Duanhua is wary of the queen?
If Jiang Cairen is enveloped by Empress Wei, it would be good if Emperor Duanhua didn't find an excuse to kill her, let alone spoil her!
"Your Majesty, this will be in a state of anxiety in the court!" Xin Xian whispered, "Let's give Jiang Cairen some benefits in private, and Your Majesty may not know if you want to come!" Now Jiang Cairen has not yet accepted the favor, in the end it is better to buy it! In the future, she will be favored, and if we want to win her over again, won't it be tricky? ”
Empress Wei laughed and said, "This is really a child's talk!" It's no secret that this palace has lost power, do you think Jiang Cairen doesn't know? So even if she hasn't accepted the favor now, she may not be able to look down on the ship of this palace, right? Don't let us send someone to show favor at that time, she turned her head and sold the palace, but called the palace a stepping stone for her, not to mention, it spread out, and there was no need to make people laugh at the palace has been reduced to calling a little talent to use it! ”
He also said, "Even if she will receive our benefits, she is grateful that she is willing to be driven by us in the future - she has won the emperor's favor when she turns around, and then says how we persecute her, it is not impossible to do this!" ”
The queen's eyes were a little cold, "After all, Your Majesty is tantamount to telling them that this palace is the Weiyang Palace, and they also have a great chance to live!" In that case, why do you think they are still loyal to Hongu?! ”
What's more, "Although Your Majesty is currently dizzy from the affairs of the previous dynasty, he has no time to care about the hands and feet of our harem." However, the queen mother of Huiyi Palace may not be able to find out! Why bother giving her such a handle? ”
Xin Xian said a little dejectedly: "Then let's just look at it now?" Then He Xiuyi took away all your phoenix seals! ”
"The phoenix seal has long been taken away." Empress Wei said lightly, "Earlier, when the queen mother presided over the selection, didn't Your Majesty send someone to take the phoenix seal away and take it to the queen mother?" Otherwise, how was Jieyu canonized when He Qinwan entered the palace? ! ”
Seeing that the queen didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, Xin Xian took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, before she said: "Niangniang, after the news of Grandma Song's pregnancy spread two days ago, Your Majesty also rewarded Yanhou Mansion with a lot of things, Yanhou personally entered the palace to thank him, and was left by His Majesty in Xuanming Palace for a long time before retiring and leaving-This will make His Majesty very fond of He Xiuyi again, it can be seen that Gu Xiang, Zhu Qin and others are admonishing, Your Majesty is gradually listening!" ”
"This will agree to summon the two kings of Su Xiang back to the imperial capital!"
"Once the two kings of Suxiang are ambushed, Liang Guogong will not be in trouble at all!"
"At that time, Your Majesty will definitely be able to free up his hands and go all out to deal with you, the crown prince, and the Wei family!!"
So, how can Emperor Duanhua correct his mistakes step by step and stabilize the throne?!
"Although the court agrees to recall the two kings of Suxiang, but also the two kings can come back!" Empress Wei sneered and raised her chin in the direction of Huiyi Palace, "This time, the Empress Dowager persuaded the Empress Dowager to come forward to oppose this matter-although it is said that under the impetus of Gu Xiang, the Empress Dowager's opposition was not successful in the end!" But do you think the Queen Mother will stop there? ”
Xin Xian was surprised: "But the holy decree has been ......"
"The holy decree also says that the two kings are summoned back to fulfill the brotherhood!" Empress Wei said in a cold voice, "So if the two kings of Suxiang suddenly fall ill on the way back, or even be seriously injured by assassination, so that they can't continue to hurry, can Your Majesty still openly ignore the bodies of these two younger brothers and force them to come back?!" ”
In that case, Emperor Duanhua will not be righteous!
Of course, the reason used by Emperor Xianjia when he slaughtered his siblings back then is not very tenable - but Emperor Xianjia has strength!
After he killed those brothers and siblings, he tried his best to put a bunch of charges on them, and then governed the world well, so as a rare virtuous king, of course, everyone only remembered his talent and his wisdom, and as for his cruelty, it was probably forgotten.
And now that Emperor Duanhua has the ability to eradicate the two kings of Suxiang outside the imperial capital, it's hard to say!
Wouldn't it be easy for him to do something against the general righteousness?
"But this idea was given to His Majesty by Gu Xiang." Xin Xian's mind was racing, and she quickly thought of a question, and said confusedly, "Gu Xiang can't think about this?" ”
Empress Wei said hesitantly: "Gu Xiang naturally has a countermeasure, but how can the Su family be provoked?" Let Gu Xiang take the lead and solve the Su family - it is estimated that Gu Xiang will also lose half his life by then! In this way, what's wrong with the palace and the prince taking advantage of the fisherman? ”
The Su family is afraid of Gu Shao, and Empress Wei is also afraid of Gu Shao!
Although it is said that the queen's own son, the crown prince, is Gu Shao's disciple, but the queen knows that Gu Shao is among the princes in the Duanhua Emperor, and he will still choose the Duanhua Emperor.
After all, what he is truly loyal to is Emperor Xianjia and his own family.
Emperor Xianjia personally entrusted Emperor Duanhua to him, unless the Gu clan in Hongzhou faced a catastrophe, Gu Shao would not abandon Emperor Duanhua.
The weight of the queen and the crown prince together is not good.
And although the strength of the Fengzhou Wei clan is above that of Hongzhou Gu, it is impossible to threaten the entire Gu clan if he wants to hide from the sky and the sea.
Empress Wei can't control Gu Shao, and the queen wants to support her son to ascend the throne early, in addition to those who are now coveting the throne of Emperor Duanhua, she can't avoid Gu Shao, who wants to protect Emperor Duanhua.
Therefore, Gu Shao took the initiative to recall the two kings of Suxiang to attract the supporters behind the two kings to fight to the death, and Empress Wei was happy to see it happen - it was best for them to fight together and end up together, without Gu Shao's escort Emperor Duanhua, in Empress Wei's opinion, the only role was to pass the throne to her son and then die!
Xin Xian suddenly realized, and said happily: "It's strange that Niangniang doesn't worry about staying in this palace all day long, it turns out that Niangniang is already confident!" ”
"It's also because the palace has been seized power and placed under house arrest until now, and it's only been so many days." When Empress Wei heard this, she sighed, "Do you think that Your Majesty is busy going in and out now, and you will forget about this palace?" Unless we are 100% sure, this palace will not dare to make rash moves now, not only this palace, but also the Wei family and the crown prince - otherwise Your Majesty will be very suspicious of us, and if we continue to doubt it, who knows what will happen? ”
But the queen said so, her eyes flickered, but she remembered something again, "By the way, let you keep staring at Concubine Nuan...... How is she doing? ”
