Chapter 383: Once a Son of Heaven and One Person
"Smack!"
Concubine Jiang had tears in her eyes, and slapped her daughter in the face: "Evil obstacles!! ”
"It's not me!" The eldest princess of Yushan was hit on the head suddenly, and after turning around, she immediately screamed, "Mother, why don't you believe me? Although I wish Lu Ningye died early, how could I instruct her to murder Ah Xu's cousin's daughter?! ”
"Lu Ningye is also your cousin, how can you say that you want her to die?!" Concubine Jiang really feels tired, she is an old man in Emperor Xianjia's harem, and her days of service are only a little later than that of Empress Dowager Su and the lost Cui Guifei.
Before King Wei was bewitched by the eldest princess of Daiguo, he abandoned Concubine Jiang's niece Jiang Muyao, and remarried the daughter of the eldest princess of Daiguo, the county lord of Nanzhang, and when she was drifting away from Concubine Jiang, the adoptive mother, Concubine Jiang was secretly glad that she still had a biological daughter to comfort.
Who knew that after King Wei changed his heir to King Xiang, her daughter seemed to take over her brother's class, and she was simply trying to block her!
This time, everyone in the government and the opposition is in danger!
Concubine Jiang has the heart to go to see Emperor Xianjia, "Xiyu and Xilu have both been locked away, and you have such an attitude, you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?!" ”
"This year, after Lu Ning came out of filial piety at night, he came to the palace for the first time to greet the imperial grandmother, I did wait outside the palace, and after she finished the audience, I asked her to follow me to a secluded place to talk!" The eldest princess of Yushan has also known that her half-brother is in charge of the house this year, no more than when her father was alive, so she has restrained a lot.
This will be beaten and scolded by her mother, although she is full of grievances, she still explained with tears, "But I didn't tell her anything about murdering Ah Xu's cousin's family at all!" I just asked her if she liked Su Ergongzi - she said she didn't like it, I didn't know if it was true or not, so I told her that if she didn't like Su Ergongzi, then it would be better to try to push off this marriage and give me Su Ergongzi! ”
"Then Lu Ningye said that her marriage with the second son of Su was decided by the emperor's grandmother, and she didn't dare to disobey, so she begged me to think of something!"
"I was very happy to hear this, but for a while, I couldn't think of any way to let her break the marriage contract with Su Ergongzi, so I made an agreement with her, and I would tell her when I came up with a way - and let her come to the palace often in the future, so that we could discuss countermeasures!"
"Later, she really came a few times, and I never thought of a safe way, so the matter dragged on."
Princess Yushan cried aggrievedly when she said this, "I grew up with my mother's concubine, doesn't my mother know me?" If I don't like Qingyue's niece, I did it to beat her in front of people, so that I could come up with such a way to go around and harm her whole family, how could I come up with it?! ”
"But since Xiyu and Xilu have been taken away, there must be a problem! The two of them have been serving you for so many years, and they both know inside and out that you like the surnamed Su, and this time the matter is so big, how can it not involve you?! "Why doesn't Concubine Jiang know that her daughter said that she must be rude and willful, even if she is cold-hearted, but it is a joke to say that the city is deep - the chief prince of Yushan is really a scheming person, and he will make Emperor Xianjia stunned in a grand manner, so that he will fall into a reputation of "unfilial piety"?
Her daughter really has to be so scheming, there is no need for her to worry so much!
Concubine Jiang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, choked up, and said, "The only way to do this is to ask the Empress Dowager for mercy and talk to you - how ignorant are you in the past?" Tell you to often go to the Queen Mother to be coquettish, bring a cup of tea and pour water or something, you always don't pay attention to it! That's your own grandmother, no matter how much you flatter her, it's also called filial piety, and you still feel embarrassed? Thinking about people who shouldn't be thinking about all day long! Could the guy surnamed Su come to save you?! ”
After counting her daughter, Concubine Jiang returned to the apse with strong spirits, freshened up and dressed up, ordered someone to prepare a step, and went to the residence of the Empress Dowager.
Who knew that when I arrived nearby, I saw a forest of swords and halberds, blocking the way!
Concubine Jiang was frightened, and a soldier came over and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "I am here on the orders of His Majesty, dare to ask Niangniang if there is an order to pass?" ”
"The order of passage?" Concubine Jiang was inexplicable, and after the explanation of the Jiashi, it became clear that it was because the second prince had flowers before, and Emperor Duanhua was afraid that something would happen to the empress dowager and other dignitaries, so it was stipulated that except for necessary access, no one else was allowed to disturb without the permission of the emperor.
After listening to the words of the Jiashi, Concubine Jiang had mixed feelings in her heart, she was one of the four concubines in the Xianjia Dynasty, and she was on an equal footing with Cui Guifei, the biological mother of Emperor Duanhua, although she did not give birth to a son, Empress Dowager Su has always valued her very much. If Emperor Xianjia is still in power, how can she not be among them for this kind of protection of dignitaries?
But now, she came out all the way, and no one reminded her!
If it weren't for the fact that she came to see the Empress Dowager today, I'm afraid she wouldn't know anything until now, right?
Although the people around this meeting all lowered their eyebrows according to the rules, and no one dared to look directly at the concubines of the first emperor, but Concubine Jiang felt a hot burst on her face for no reason, and the huge sense of humiliation made her almost angry order: "Go back!" ”
Once a son of heaven and a man.
On the way back to her residence, Concubine Jiang chewed on this sentence repeatedly, reminiscing about Emperor Xianjia's lifetime, and only felt sadness: "If the first emperor is still there, how can this palace and Yushan fall into such a situation as they are now?" ”
Emperor Xianjia was cruel to his half-brothers and sisters, but he was a loving father to his children, and his daughter was especially indulged - if he was still alive, even if this thing was really done by the eldest princess of Yushan, he was reluctant to really take his daughter, at most he tried his best to compensate Jian Xubai and others.
But now it is Emperor Duanhua who is in charge, and Concubine Jiang is just Emperor Duanhua's concubine, except for the New Year's Festival, the two will not meet at all. Therefore, Concubine Jiang didn't know much about Emperor Duanhua.
But from the rumors that Emperor Duanhua's attitude towards the two princesses of Donghai and Yukang is very flat, it can be seen that this emperor's tolerance for the royal family is definitely not as good as that of Emperor Xianjia.
Those two are still the biological daughters of Emperor Duanhua, not to mention Yushan's half-sister?
Concubine Jiang returned full of disappointment, entered the palace, and saw her daughter coming up with anticipation, and couldn't help but hug her and cry loudly: "The first emperor is so ruthless!" Just leave, leave us and don't care about anything - but tell us what to do now?! You might as well take us all away sooner! ”
When Concubine Jiang's mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, in the summer courtyard of the Jiang family, Jiang Muying was frowning, looking at the turn. An uninvited guest from the wall: "Second son Su is not good at keeping his father's filial piety at home, what are you doing in our house?" ”
"If I don't come, the Jiang family will be in danger!" Su Shaoge dusted off the wall ash on his shirt, ignored Jiang Muying's unwelcoming expression, sat down not far away, and said lightly, "Extraordinary things must be done at extraordinary times, and I hope that Lord Jiang will forgive me for crossing the wall today!" ”
Jiang Muying sneered when she heard this, turned over and closed the book she was admiring in front of her, and said, "Someone!" ”
"Just now, my aunt sent the news out, saying that the eldest daughter of Yanguo has flowers, and the real culprit has appeared." Su Shaoge glanced at the guards who entered in response, and said unhurriedly, "It's Cousin Ling, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Yushan!" ”
“…… Retire! Jiang Muying's pupils shrank suddenly, and after a short period of consideration, he waved the guard back, and when the guard brought the door, he sank his face, "Although Yushan is the niece of my Jiang family, she is also a royal princess!" And my Jiang family doesn't know anything about what she does! What trouble did she cause, what does it have to do with my Jiang family? ”
Su Shaoge smiled and said, "Why do you have to say dark words in front of the Ming people? If it's just the eldest daughter of Yan Guogong who is sick, there is still room for mediation, but now even Yan Guogong's life and death are unpredictable - Xiao Jiang shouldn't think that once Yan Guogong has three longs and two shorts, the Empress Dowager and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, as well as Your Majesty, will have no problem with the Jiang family, right? ”
He said meaningfully, "Oh, and the second prince! Although it is said that His Majesty's most important heir is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the second prince is also His Majesty's own flesh and blood! In particular, Your Majesty now has only two princes! ”
"You did it?" Jiang Muying was silent for a while, and said through gritted teeth.
"Of course not." Su Shaoge denied it without thinking - seeing Jiang Muying looking at him with a suspicious expression, he spread his hands helplessly, "After my father passed away, I originally planned to return to my hometown with my sister-in-law and nephew, but Your Majesty was kind and generous, and allowed my father to accompany him to the tomb of the first emperor. In this way, our uncle and nephew continued to live in the imperial capital. Your Majesty is so long, what can my Su family say? How can you do anything that disappoints Your Majesty? What's more, Lord Xiao Jiang also knows that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan has always loved me, although I don't think I am a fair and honest gentleman, but I don't disdain to take advantage of a golden branch and jade leaf who is full of admiration for me! ”
Speaking of the last sentence, a touch of arrogance crossed between Su Shaoge's eyebrows.
"......" Jiang Muying groaned, he knew that Su Shaoge's so-called "Your Majesty is so gracious" was just a scene.
The real situation is that after the Duke of Ji died of illness, his sons in the imperial capital, Su Shaoge, Su Shaomo, and Su Dufeng, should be helped to return to their hometowns according to the rules, and let their old father go to the ground for peace.
But Emperor Duanhua was not worried that Su Shaoge would return to Qingzhou, the old nest of the Su family, so under the pretext that the Duke of Ji and Emperor Xianjia got along, he authorized the Duke of Ji to accompany the burial of Emperor Xianjia's mausoleum - so Su Shaoge and the three of them naturally did not have to send the coffin back to their hometown.
Emperor Duanhua also used the excuse of his mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Su's phoenix body disobeyed, and Su Shaoge, as his mother's family, should often serve the Empress Dowager, so that the Empress Dowager could relieve herself.
In this way, Su Shaoge and the three of them were left under the nose of the imperial capital to watch it personally, in this case, unless the Su family had a bad brain, they really shouldn't make trouble anymore - it's almost the same to hide from right and wrong!
It is precisely because of Emperor Duanhua's so-called filial piety to his mother-in-law that Su Shaoge and the three of them can occasionally enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Su - thinking about this time, Su Shaoge has already gotten the news, but the Jiang family still knows nothing, it should be that someone from the Su family has just entered the palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace.
"If it's not you, who is it?" Jiang Muying raised her head and looked at him scrutinically, "Don't say that it has nothing to do with you, otherwise how could you turn it yourself. The wall came to me?! ”
"It has something to do with my Su family." Su Shaoge looked back without backing, "However, it is because His Royal Highness King Liang has advised His Majesty - he intends to use this incident to make a fuss and burn the fire on the heads of the two kings of Suxiang, and then clean up the court!" ”
Jiang Muying was relieved: "It's no wonder that you are in such a hurry to come over...... But since that's the case, why should my Jiang family help you? After all, since His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Liang are going to target the two kings of Suxiang, then the focus will definitely not fall on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan! In this way, the impact on my Jiang family will be lighter, right? After all, your Su family has a close relationship with His Royal Highness King Su, and you also strongly supported His Royal Highness King Su to seize the crown prince back then! It is also common sense to provoke His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Liang to settle accounts after the autumn! But my Jiang family is not, my Jiang family has never waded through the mixed water of the dispute, my sister-in-law Boling Marquis, also has the merit of the dragon, and the bus is good with the Yan country, so, I think His Royal Highness King Liang will not deliberately drag us into the water, right? ”
"Little Jiang-sama has misunderstood!" Su Shaoge laughed out loud when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I'm not here to ask for help, but to help others-little Lord Jiang really thinks that His Royal Highness King Liang persuades His Majesty to use the topic to play, and the Jiang family can sit back and relax?!" ”
He spit out a word, which made Jiang Muying's face change instantly!
