Chapter 35: Killing Two Birds with One Stone?

When Jiang Yashuang discussed with Ou Bicheng to push the dispute between the princes into a more fierce situation, in the empty and spacious hall, Empress Dowager Gu was also instructing: "Let Qiu Dian immediately organize people to impeach the children of the Jiang family!" The handles that were pinched in the past are all laid out, no matter how big or small, whether it is really or chasing the wind - in short, if the mourners do not stop, the impeachment cannot be broken! ”

"Also, how many palace maids does the emperor want to make as concubines today? Go and tell him that he will go to the queen every day for an hour before leaving, and if the queen agrees, then find a few more people to make the concubine! In short, try to delay the queen's time as much as possible, and never allow the queen to concentrate on affairs! ”

"Give Chang Ping the decree of descending Qingwu, and prepare the seal for the mourning family to use - also, the people around Qingwu who are prosperous, call a person who can be in charge to enter the palace to see the palace, and don't press the place where you should do it!"

The female officer was a little worried: "Two days ago, the maid went to visit the Jiang family's courtyard on your orders, although Qin Guogong was still lying on the couch, he was still in good spirits. Judging by the fact that there are few of his children waiting in front of the bed, it doesn't look like he is seriously ill. ”

"What if it's really a little sick?" Empress Dowager Gu sneered, "This old thief has been fighting in Northern Xinjiang for half his life, even if his life is big, he has not been seriously injured like the Marquis of Jibei, and after so many years of military career, he was born poor and climbed up step by step from the army, can he still have some hidden diseases on his body?" The mourning family looks at this time eight times out of ten. Nine is a seizure - so you must not give him a chance to recuperate with peace of mind! ”

At Qin Guogong's age, as long as he is overworked, he can easily toss out of illness if he is not sick, not to mention that he has a "little illness"?

Empress Dowager Gu naturally wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue!

The female official hurriedly said that the queen mother was wise, and reminded: "If you want to let Qin Guogong worry constantly, when she was still in Beijing a few days ago, the maid listened to the Imperial Forest Army tell Jiang Yadan to leave his post without permission, because his concubine died in the pool behind the house, which is said to have caused a lot of turmoil in the backyard, and even the Duchess of Qin Guo was deeply involved!" Can the Queen Mother make a fuss about this matter? ”

After all, "the Tao family is the queen's family, and because of the legacy of Tao Gong of the previous dynasty, among the many in-laws of the Jiang family, the status is not low!" If it can be used by the Queen Mother, not to mention the Duke of Qin, the queen alone will inevitably ...... "It's strange if you don't vomit blood!"

Jiang Yadan has a lazy attitude at work, an improper style, and a chaotic backyard...... There are too many things like this, and it has not been news for a long time, if there is no special reason, the Empress Dowager Gu is too lazy to ask, and she will listen to the female official's introduction, so she asked carefully. At the end, the Queen Mother muttered: "The Tao family has been inferior to the next generation since Tao Yinsong, and this time the matter is even more stupid!" It's useless to think about this kind of waste - but you're right, it's worth putting some effort into the face that the Jiang family lost after they turned back. ”

He said, "Secretly contact them, just say that Jiang Qianchuan is dying, this Darui world is destined not to be touched by the Jiang family, for Tao Yinsong's sake, the mourning family will give them a chance, if they are interested, they can reward their family with a hereditary reckless marquis afterwards!" ”

The female official said with a smile: "The title that Tao Yinsong will earn for his family has now been reduced to the last level, and in the past thirty years, the Tao family has not contributed to the country, not to mention, not even a jinshi!" Today's Pingle County man is very old, and once he dies, the Tao family will completely fall out of the ranks of nobles. Niangniang promised them a marquis, or hereditary replacement, they will inevitably die for Niangniang! ”

Empress Dowager Gu didn't care and said: "Let's think about living a male heir from the anger of the Jiang family first, otherwise the reward of the mourning family will be a piece of paper!" "Anyway, it's an empty glove white wolf.

The female official smiled knowingly: "The Tao family has been mediocre for generations, if it can still be posthumously sealed by the mother, it will be infinite glory!" ”

"By the way, after the news that Jiang Qianchuan's old thief was in a coma at the family banquet came over, the person who reported the news seemed to have met Chang Ping on the road?" Empress Dowager Gu thought for a moment and said, "Chang Ping has been with Shou'an for the past few days, it seems that Shou'an should also know about this?" ”

The female official didn't dare to answer casually, so she thought about it for a while before she said cautiously: "The two princesses have indeed been in contact with each other a lot these days, but do you know about it...... The Jiang family said to the outside world that Qin Guogong was just happy at the family banquet, and he drank a few more and fell drunk. ”

"Hey! Drunk and injured, how much did the old thief spare his life, how could he be so ignorant of moderation? Empress Dowager Gu said disdainfully, "It's just to deceive those ignorant people!" Squinting slightly, "The mourning family wants to envelop the Tao family to deal with the Jiang family's affairs, you find an opportunity to let Shou'an know 'unintentionally', the speed must be fast, and when the Tao family responds to the mourning family, do it immediately!" ”

The female officer was slightly taken aback: "Niangniang? "If the Duke of Qin is really seriously ill, it is estimated that the position of the wife of the king of Zhou will have to be replaced by the original side concubine Tang Xinqiong, which the female official also wants.

That Shou'an princess Gu is graceful, for this position, she took the risk to pit King Yan last year! Would she be willing to have nothing because of Qin Guogong's sudden illness? If it weren't for the fact that Gu Qianna was the queen mother's niece and granddaughter, the female official wanted to persuade the queen mother just now that from now on, all important actions would be kept secret from Gu Wanna, so as not to make this master a thief and self-respecting!

But now the Queen Mother actually said that she would take the initiative to reveal it to her?!

Empress Dowager Gu glanced at her: "What are you afraid of!" I don't want to think about the current waste of the Tao family, except for the nest, there is no ambition! Even if it is over, what big thing can it do? It's better to sell it to the Jiang family after being enveloped, and then save one or two people casually to come out as witnesses, and it would be more useful to take the handle of the Jiang family's murder of in-laws? ”

It turned out that she deliberately connived at Princess Shou'an to report the news?

In this way, the Kengjiang family is only one of them, and the second is that you can use this reason afterwards to justifiably replace the wife of King Zhou, so that the Guangyang Royal Mansion has nothing to say! Killing two birds with one stone!

The female official immediately understood the intention of the queen mother, put her mind at ease, and said respectfully: "The mother is as resourceful as the sea, and the maid is dull...... Son, let's do it! ”

And Gu Qianna, who has been designed by the Empress Dowager Gu to lose the position of King Zhou's wife as a traitor in the future, is sending off the guest with a smile on her face at the moment.

"Cousin Shou'an is also good to talk today, isn't it discussed, I want to show the color of the Xin family today, lest she be like Jiang Qiyun, she has been used to being at home for a long time, and she doesn't know how thick the sky is when she is the royal daughter-in-law?"

Seeing the three guests being surrounded by maids and going away, Tang Xinqiong, the third daughter of Princess Changping, broke a rose, put it under her nose and sniffed it slowly, while carefully pulling out the thorns, she said lightly, "When did you change your mind, why didn't you tell us?" Even if you want us to be wicked people, you can be a good person for your cousin, and make an appointment in advance, which will be more convenient for your goal to achieve, cousin, isn't it? ”

Originally, several young ladies of the Tang family and Gu Qianna grew up in love, and Gu Qianna's sister-in-law Tang is the aunt of the Tang family sisters - in the past, the two were no different from sisters-in-law, but the resentment last year was too great, and now Tang Xinqiong will serve her as her as her mother, and this attitude is naturally not affectionate.

Gu Qianna didn't care about the ridicule and questioning in her tone, and said with a light smile: "Cousin Tang San, have you forgotten the 'drunkenness' that has been circulating outside about Qin Guogong in the past two days?" ”

"So you just said good words, and you didn't leave the well-being of Qin Guogong?" Tang Xinqiong snorted, "But the Xin family is not stupid, you have asked for so long, and you have lost a smile for a long time, but you don't know if there is any definite news?" I don't think so, right? didn't say anything, as a cousin, as a princess, but you were humble about the three things with the highest title and the county lord, and it was not ashamed to spread it? ”

Gu Qianna smiled and said, "Good cousin, don't be anxious!" Listen to me tell you slowly: Whether Qin Guogong is really drunk or sick, it is not very convenient to see things these days. It's just right for us to clean up the Seven Princes here, on this eye joint, if we get into a fight with the Xin family, will the queen let go of the opportunity to mess around? Our middle palace lady is the best at messing around, she has a seizure, without the queen mother's maintenance, we will inevitably suffer a big loss...... In this way, there is no need to delay the Queen Mother's serious business! It's really a post sent out in advance, otherwise I wouldn't want to entertain them today. ”

Tang Xinqiong sneered and said: "This is also reasonable for you, and you are reasonable for that, and I don't bother to think carefully about you." Go back to the emperor's grandmother and explain it, anyway, it was you who proposed to invite them, and you will say that you regretted inviting them! After speaking, he stuffed the thorn-plucked roses into his sleeves and dusted off his clothes, "Mother should wake up from a nap, I'll go and serve her to freshen up!" ”

And he walked away!

Seeing this, Tang subconsciously followed and wanted to shout, but after thinking about it, he just sighed, turned his head and asked Gu Qianna: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"That's what I just said, cousin Tang San doesn't believe it, sister-in-law, don't you believe me either?" Gu Qianna looked at her innocently.

Speaking of which, the Tang family is a little unclear about the generations of Gu Qianna, Tang Xinqiong and others, she is the daughter of Deputy Prime Minister Tang Zimo, the sister-in-law of Princess Changping, the cousin of King Guangyang, but she married Gu Qianna's brother...... This misplaced marriage was originally made by the Empress Dowager Gu in order to make up for the relationship between the Gu and Tang families after Princess Changping fell out with her husband's family, and the original eldest princess was demoted to a princess by Queen Jiang.

As the daughter of the Gu family and the wife of the Tang family, the Tang family was naturally very embarrassed when dealing with the estrangement between the sister-in-law and the nieces. Now that I looked at Huigu Graceful, I saw that she didn't look like a fakeβ€”but Tang also knew that this girl was used to pretending, and it was really unreliable to judge the authenticity through her expressionβ€”in short, I couldn't find a reason, so I had to believe it, and reminded in a deep voice: "Then you should also say hello to Xinqiong in advance!" Without saying a word, she was confused in the middle, and only told her when she came to ask you at the end, can she not be angry? ”

Gu Qianna said aggrievedly: "I went to her in the middle and wanted to talk to her, but she refused to see me...... I don't believe my sister-in-law asked Changping cousin! ”

Princess Changping bowed slightly: "Yesterday, Graceful asked me to accompany her to find Xinqiong and the second sister-in-law, but the second sister-in-law said that she was tired and didn't want to see Graceful, and Xinqiong asked the maid to come out and say that she was not there." ”

"Although you offended Xinyao and Xinqiong a lot, if you want the messenger to make it clear that it has something to do with today's countermeasures, how can their sisters not know the severity?" Hearing this explanation, Tang Shi not only did not feel relieved, but frowned, "It must have made them think that you don't have anything important to say, then of course they are too lazy to see you!" ”

But the two princesses said so, Tang had no evidence, and it was not good to continue to teach the lesson, so he casually said two sentences, and then resigned to comfort Tang Xinqiong - At this time, Princess Changping, who had spoken for Gu Qianna just now, had a difficult face: "You are ...... today." What the hell do you think? ”
