Chapter 572: Old Lady's Plan
Song Yixiao felt a little strange when she heard that her husband came back with Mrs. Duanmu.
After taking the children to welcome the old lady into the door, and after settling down in the prepared yard, she called the bell and led Jian Qingyue and the three of them to do their homework, and the couple returned to their rooms, and she asked, "Didn't you say that you were going to the second aunt when you left the palace?" This will accompany my grandmother back, have you ever been to the eldest princess's mansion of the Jin Kingdom? ”
"......" Jian was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll go back later." ”
"What's wrong?" Song Yixiao sensitively noticed that his emotions didn't seem right, subconsciously held his arm, and said softly, "But what's the change?" ”
Jian Xubai pursed his lips, shook his head, and said, "Nothing." ”
After a pause, he replied, "I was thinking, there are eldest sisters, second brothers and sisters-in-law on the second aunt's side, but the grandmother is only remembered by the two of us, so after leaving the palace, I thought it would be better to go and see my grandmother first." ”
Song Yixiao said suspiciously: "How can I see that you have something on your mind?" ”
"What is the situation now?" Jian Xubai slowed down, patted the back of her hand, and soothed, "If there is really an important situation, will I not tell you?" ”
Song Yixiao actually had doubts in her heart, but seeing that her husband was very reluctant to talk about it, she thought: "He will never joke about the future of the family!" ”
Then I thought that Jian Xubai had originally entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager, and then planned to serve the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom - but he did not go to the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, but accompanied the old lady Duanmu back.
For this reason, it is estimated that it has something to do with his life experience.
"Could it be that the Empress Dowager told him who his biological mother was?" Song Yi smiled and frowned secretly, "When is this?" The Empress Dowager didn't say it sooner or later, but chose this Chenguang to give her husband a thorough explanation, isn't this a deliberate attempt to disturb his heart? ”
She thought about it and felt that apart from this matter, there was no other situation at the moment, so that Jian Xubai could go straight to the other courtyard to find Old Madam Duanmu after leaving the palace - I am afraid that this in-laws' grandmother and grandson had only talked about it back then, and it was reasonable that Jian Xubai would not have the heart to see the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.
Although Song Yixiao never expected that the two eldest princesses of the Jin Kingdom, who had been respected by the couple for many years, were the culprits behind the death of their mother-in-law Shaohua, but the good and decent third-room sister-in-law was actually recorded in the second room.
Thinking of this, she didn't ask any questions, but only cared about her husband's body unconsciously: "There is the eldest sister and the second brother and sister-in-law over there, and there is Aunt Jiayo guarding them." Don't be too tired, you must know that our family, along with my grandmother and two cousins who just moved here, are counting on you! ”
Then I found an excuse and walked away, "I couldn't help but entangle Chaoping two days ago, and taught her a few more words, but one of them was difficult to write, she hasn't written it until today, I have to go over and take a look, don't she lose her temper there if she can't write well, and get ink everywhere!" ”
"It's inevitable that a child is not sensible, but don't scare her!" Jian Xubai hurriedly admonished when he heard this.
After watching his wife go out, his originally calm face was instantly gloomy!
Not to mention that he took advantage of Song Yixiao's departure to sort out his thoughts, in the small building of Guansong in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, the old lady Duanmu was supported by a mother-in-law, standing under the corridor, looking at the rain curtain outside, and asked leisurely: "How is the outside now?" ”
The woman smiled and said, "You've calculated everything, how can there be anything wrong?" Even if the children of the Su family can't fight, they always have the ability to identify the talents of the generals. That Yu Qinghan is a talent who has been carefully cultivated by Burning Quinoa Hall for many years, how much effort did it take us to arrange it under He Wenqiong, and after calculating it, there is no one under the Su family who can be his opponent, and now in this situation, who else can we count on if the Su family does not ask Lu Qinghong to come forward to preside over the overall situation? ”
And he said, "Don't worry! The Emperor's Tomb is also going well! In this world, sooner or later it will be Hou Ye's! ”
"It's good if it goes well!" Old Madam Duanmu showed a look of satisfaction, nodded her head, and then muttered, "But you still can't take it lightly - the ancestors of the Weisu family have a deep heritage, and they have been in power for decades, and they are all royal relatives, even if we are yellow birds, we have to prevent them from being trapped and fighting!" ”
The woman hurriedly said: "This is nature! The three of us have worked hard for so many years, and you have personally mediated with the Su family for decades to get such an opportunity, how can you fall short because of negligence? ”
Speaking of this, she groaned slightly, "But ......"
"How?" Old Madam Duanmu noticed that her henchman's desire to speak stopped, patted the railing under her hand, turned around, and said gently, "You are my dowry in the boudoir, and you have accompanied me out of the fortress and the mausoleum for decades, what else is there to say?" Even if you feel that there is something wrong with Li Miao and Ah Xu, it doesn't hurt to say it bluntly - with your qualifications, don't talk to me now, even if you reprimand them in front of them, that's right! ”
The mother-in-law smiled: "You are deliberately giving dignity to the old slave!" There is a way that there is a difference between master and servant, how can the old slave talk about the masters? What's more, with you here, which turn can the old slave say that the uncle and the marquis? ”
After hesitating, she said euphemistically, "The old slave is just worried, Hou Ye and Grandma Song have a deep relationship, and Grandma Song, although she must also be affectionate and righteous to Hou Ye, but Lu Guanyun is her brother with her mother." Looking at Grandma Song's usual behavior, although she doesn't care much about the younger brothers and sisters on the Song family's side, she is very concerned about the younger brothers and sisters of Princess Wei - isn't that Xinling county lord raised in the mansion until now, and gets along with our Chaoping county lord day and night? ”
"When the time comes......"
"In case Grandma Song is reluctant to give up her younger brother, I am afraid that Master Hou will always have to consider grandma's mood."
"Isn't it impossible to achieve such a painstaking effort of your years of planning, old lady?"
"After all, if the Hou Ye has been refusing to let go of his mouth and ascend the throne as the emperor, we can't force him to be on the throne of God in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, right?"
- Old Madam Duanmu in her early years, no, it should be said that the joint plot with Xiliang Shen and Donghu Liu over the years was to take advantage of the Weisu dispute to pit these two families, along with all the heirs under the name of Emperor Xianjia!
Replaced by three families to come to power - namely Shen, Liu, and Yanhou Mansion.
There is a key point in this plan, that is, the new monarch in their plan is not at all any of the candidates who have been elected before.
It's something that has never been considered at all, including what he didn't expect - Lu Guanyun!
Old Madam Duanmu chose this candidate, not only because Lu Guanyun was young and easy to control, but also because he had a good relationship with Song Yixiao.
Of course, Lu Guanyun's current closest is his own father, King Hengshan - but it doesn't matter, the old lady Duanmu is planning to let Emperor Xianjia cut off his children and grandchildren, just a king of Hengshan, why is it difficult to kill him?
As soon as King Hengshan died, Lu Guanyun's foreign family, the Wei family, was not on the stage at all, strictly speaking, he still had a bitter enmity with his mother, his half-brother and sister-in-law, because of his biological mother Princess Wei, had nothing to do with him, in this case, Lu Guanyun was not close to his sister and brother-in-law, who else could he get close to?
In this way, the Yanhou Mansion is close to the water and the building is the first to get the moon, and it is not a problem for Jian Xubai to be a very popular minister, and after holding the power, it is good to run it, and the old lady Duanmu thinks that it may not be impossible to usurp the throne of the Lu family in the future!
After all, now calculate the situation of Emperor Xianjia's current heirs: King Liang was killed by the Su family last night.
Emperor Duanhua did not die for the time being because he wanted to keep him to participate in the Zen throne ceremony, but he was also imprisoned in the palace;
The reason why the prince did not die was Wei Xi's escape - the Su family knew that the prince and Empress Wei could not threaten Wei Xi, but Empress Wei was a person who did everything for her son, she was born as the eldest daughter of Rui Yutang, and she may not know too much about the Wei family's heritage, but it is definitely not too little. It is not impossible to keep the prince and let her turn around and sell her mother's family, so the mother and son are temporarily locked up in the East Palace;
As for King Su, of course, he is well protected by the Su family in the Su Palace, but he can only call Emperor Xianjia "Uncle Huang" at present.
However, the above people, who are still alive, are also in the imperial capital.
And Yu Qinghan, who besieged the city, was a secret son buried by the Liu family in the early years, and Lu Qinghong, who had just taken over the city defense in the city, was born in Jinxiutang - the life and death of these people were naturally in the thoughts of the old lady Duanmu.
And those who are not currently in the city, King Xiang, like King Su, are not the sons of Emperor Xianjia.
Emperor Xianjia's real youngest son, King Shu, is in the imperial tomb - Wei Xi is a shrewd person, but the king of Shu arrived at the imperial tomb with Concubine Xu's coffin a few days ago, and at that time, the Wei family had regarded him as an abandoned son, so how could they pay attention to him?
And just as Wei Xi was worried about before, the old lady Duanmu has been guarding the imperial tomb for more than ten years, how can she have no back?
With the current confrontation between Weisu and Su across the city, Emperor Duanhua, the crown prince, the king of Shu, and the king of Su were all killed, and all the charges were deducted from the heads of the Weisu family - there is only one king of Xiang who has no one to support, if he can kill, he will be killed, and if he is not killed, it is nothing, anyway, no one will help him speak, he, the "nephew" of Emperor Xianjia, why does Xiao want the throne?
In this case, Emperor Xianjia's bloodline is cut off and there is no heir in his name, what should I do?
That's a passive, of course!
And Emperor Xianjia's own brothers have all been killed by him a long time ago - even King Yi, who has been secretly giving birth for more than 20 years, was demoted to a concubine last year because of the smallpox incident!
Isn't it natural to pass on Lu Guanyun, the youngest son of King Hengshan, to Emperor Xianjia in this way?
And Lu Guanyun is young, if he ascends the throne, he must have someone to be the regent - according to his estimate, he is looking for his father, but the old lady Duanmu made him a puppet when they planned, and the choice of regent was naturally not chosen by Lu Guanyun himself.
The Shen and Liu families have already agreed with Old Madam Duanmu that all those who block their two families and the regent of Jian Xubai will die!
What Gu Shao, Wei Xi, Su Shaoge...... Anyone who stands in the way must die in the offensive and defensive battles of the imperial capital!
Even so, Old Madam Duanmu felt that it was still not enough to compensate for the royal family's debt to her mother and daughter, so she still had a plan, that is, to take advantage of the relationship between Lu Guanyun and Song Yixiao to be the same mother and brother, so that Jian Xubai would come out on top in the situation of the three families being the co-regent.
With such an accumulation of heritage, when the time comes, Lu Guanyun will die violently, or Zen will be in a position - in short, this world must be simple and white in the future!
Although the plan is good and has gone smoothly so far, will Jian Xubai cooperate......
It's hard to say!
Old Madam Duanmu frowned, and after pondering for a moment, Fang said slowly: "Ah Xuan is still young, and he has been blinded by the old woman of the Qiu family in the palm of her hand for all those years. The son is a little bland and ambitious. But people will always change, not to mention being calculated by the Qiu family and Xianjia, this kid has never tasted the taste of power until now! After he has been in charge for a few years and feels the pleasure of having the power of life and death in his hands, let's slowly persuade him from the side, not afraid that he will not move his heart! ”
After a pause, he said, "What's more, even if he doesn't move this heart himself, isn't that child pregnant now, and Yun Gu is sure that it is a male fetus?" ”
"When this child falls to the ground, let's play him subtly, at that time, there will be my grandmother, and there will be a child instigated, how long can Ah Xuan last?"
"As for the good lady, that kid doesn't look like the kind of foolish person who only turns his elbows to his mother's house. The reason why she values her younger brothers and sisters is nothing more than because Princess Wei is so good at raising her - the Song family treats her badly, and it is a matter of course that she is estranged from the Song family; If Princess Wei goes, she also ignores Lu Guanyun and them, then there is something wrong with her nature! ”
"It's just that the younger brothers and sisters of the same mother are closer, how can they have their own biological flesh and blood?"
The old lady said in a kind tone, "Didn't Aunt Yun say it?" My old bones can last a few days! Just coax them slowly - I'm sure they'll understand my painstaking efforts! ”
Speaking of this, the old lady's eyes showed a clear longing.
