Chapter 112: A Defeat, Another Way!
Shazhou is preparing to cooperate with the outside and completely eradicate the situation of the cold father and son, the capital, the imperial city. []
Ganquan Palace, Taishi Palace, the palace people are all silent-
"What a Xue Chang! What a Jiang family! Mrs. Gu was hideous, hysterically waving all the furnishings on the cases in front of her, and the crash of a few favorite treasures in an instant could not calm her down, "Are you all waste!" I don't know when Xue Chang voted for the Jiang family! They joined hands under the noses of the mourners!! β
The next Tang Zimo and the other queen mothers were silent and did not dare to come out!
If in the past, other people didn't dare to speak, Tang Zimo would definitely persuade the Empress Dowager Gu, but now there is also him among the people who are scolded by the Empress Dowager Gu - even specifically scolding him, after all, in the Empress Dowager Party, in addition to the Empress Dowager Gu, the most important member is him.
Usually he takes the benefits first, but now that something happens, he naturally has to bear the responsibility.
It took more than half an hour for the angry Empress Dowager Gu to rest because of exhaustion, and Lady Zheng was busy serving ginseng tea.
After drinking most of the ginseng tea to moisten her throat, Empress Dowager Gu's eyelids lifted and looked at everyone very sharply: "What to do now, let's talk about it!" β
There was a commotion in the crowd - the very careful kind - and after the end, Tang Zimo stood up and saluted: "His Royal Highness King Zhou...... I'm afraid I have to give up! β
To be honest, he also felt very sad when he said this, although Princess Zhou was the princess Gu Jingxiu he hated, but the side concubine of King Zhou was his own granddaughter Tang Xinqiong!
You must know that he has failed to invest in a Yan princess Tang Xinyao, but even if King Yan has no hope of inheriting the unification, it is an unimaginable glory for ordinary people to be a princess for his granddaughter! And what King Zhou is doing right now is killing the king, or killing the son and killing the father, he can be given from. It's all the emperor's grace, and as for the family, the lightest has to be abolished! If it's a little heavier, it's natural to give death together!
It's just that Tang Zi's proposal to endure the heartache only made the Empress Dowager Gu let out a sneer: "Give up?!" King Yan had been given up before, and now it is King Zhou again! Even if there are many grandchildren in the mourning family, do you think that the prince is worthless?! β
Tang Zi pondered for a while, and then said cautiously: "Niangniang, it's not that your subordinates are unwilling to speak for His Royal Highness King Zhou, it's really Xue Chang who came up with evidence about His Majesty's poisoning, which can be called ironclad evidence. Moreover, Xue Chang has a very high reputation in the community, and his subordinates are ashamed! Since he announced it in the front, even if his subordinates try their best to say it for His Royal Highness King Zhou, I'm afraid the people won't believe it! β
How did he not know that giving up King Zhou would bring a great blow to the Queen Mother's Party: the candidate for the prince who supported it was actually a rebellious person who killed the king, not to mention, Xue Chang was also ruthless and did not leave a way back to characterize the reason for King Zhou's killing as a struggle for the prince - as long as the Queen Mother Party admits or acquiesces in the crime of King Zhou's killing of the king, it is equivalent to recognizing the position of the prince of the Seven Princes!
This means that the Queen Mother Party will be defeated!
But Tang Zimo didn't just admit defeat, he continued to analyze, "This time His Majesty's poisoning and the excavation of General Wulie's tomb, the two events happened not far apart, and they were connected back and forth in Xue Chang's mouth, and there was one person - His Majesty thought that Xue Chang might have already voted for the Jiang family, and the mediation before was just pretending!" β
"So what?!" Empress Dowager Gu's face was still not good-looking, and she asked coldly.
"So since Xue Chang dared to directly target His Royal Highness King Zhou, His Majesty thought that even if he tried his best to protect His Royal Highness King Zhou, all the efforts he made were probably expected by Xue Chang and the Jiang family!" Tang Zimo said in a deep voice, "At that time, they will have a lot of time, but we hurriedly invite the battle, and the end will be the same as this time, it will inevitably be more defeats and fewer victories!" β
Empress Dowager Gu said angrily: "Enough! The mourners' ears are not deaf! You don't need to turn it over and tell the mourning family that you want to give up the king of Zhou - the mourning family only asks you, what about after giving up the king of Zhou?! Do you want the mourning family to retreat to the harem, and then wait for Jiang Tianluan's slut to reward the mourning family with a glass of wine?! β
"Mother's anger!" Hearing this, Tang Zimo and the others all knelt down and pleaded guilty.
After Empress Dowager Gu's anger calmed down a little, Tang Zimo continued to play: "Niangniang, the matter of killing the monarch is only King Zhou alone, and several palace people bear the charge!" What does it have to do with Niangniang? Niangniang is His Majesty's biological mother, will it be detrimental to parents and children? Mother and son nature, even if Xue Chang has a good reputation in the community, he definitely doesn't dare to slander his mother like this! Otherwise, with his wolf ambitions, how could he just target His Royal Highness King Zhou?! β
Empress Dowager Gu sneered and said, "So what? Without King Zhou, even if the mourning family supports King Cai and the like, according to the current situation, can they fight the slut of the Jiang family! Xue Chang, the old thief, kept saying that the emperor also wanted Lao Qi to be the prince! β
Tang Zimo said hesitantly: "Niangniang, even if the Seventh Prince enters the East Palace, can he be disrespectful to your grandmother?!" β
Empress Dowager Gu frowned, as if she had thought of something, and groaned.
"Everyone knows that the Seven Princes are smart, and he has also fallen into the eyes of the queen because of this." Tang Zimo narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "Niangniang, please think about it, since the prince is such a caring person, how can he be willing to be a puppet for the Jiang family?" What's more, who doesn't know that the Jiang family has a violent temperament, and the queen is even more tricky and spicy, without the tolerance that a mother of the country should have! And even if Niangniang personally holds the government, with His Majesty and the Seven Princes, they are flesh and blood after all! β
"Do you mean to go and envelop the seventh?" Empress Dowager Gu hesitated, "But the queen looks at him so closely, the mourning family ...... I won't see him at all! β
Tang Zimo heard that the Empress Dowager Gu had already moved, but he just felt that it was not so easy to dig into the corner of the Jiang family's hard work, so he offered a plan: "The person sent by the mother, the queen may be able to stop it, and the seventh prince will say that the queen will not see it!" But what if the mother goes to visit her grandchildren in person? Can the queen stop you? How dare the Seven Princes not see it?! β
"And now there is a good opportunity - Empress Dowager Ye collapsed, although the court doesn't remember her much, but the queen seems to have the intention of burying her according to the queen mother's system! In this way, the kings, princes, and princesses, including Your Majesty and the Queen, will come to the mourning in person. It is logical for Niangniang to go in person, and when the time comes, she will be able to contact the Seven Princes! β
Although Empress Dowager Ye was only the successor of the first emperor, Empress Dowager Gu was only the concubine of the first emperor back then-the main wife went, and it was right for the concubine to go to the spirit to mourn.
It's just that Empress Dowager Gu never put this wife in her eyes after her son became the emperor, if it weren't for Empress Dowager Ye's still some means, let alone keeping the position of the Empress Dowager, it is estimated that even her life would have been confessed a long time ago! And it was Empress Dowager Ye who instructed Empress Jiang back then, so she had Princess Yongfu - fortunately, she was just a princess, if she was a prince, Empress Dowager Gu would probably have fallen into disadvantage long ago, after all, most people would support having a concubine to be a person, with the sex of those people in the Jiang family. Son, if there is a grandson of the prince in their family, where can they allow other princes to live!?
So when Empress Dowager Gu thought of this old rival, she felt that her heart was not going well......
"The seventh prince is not born to the queen, the queen is not kind to the harem concubines and princesses, and the reason why she supports him is just to take advantage of it, and there is no mother-son relationship between the two!" Tang Zimo also knew that Empress Dowager Gu had despised Empress Dowager Ye for a long time, and it was too abrupt to fall into the disadvantage this time, and Empress Dowager Gu would inevitably not be able to turn around for a while, or she couldn't let go of this face, so she continued, "As long as Niangniang sees the Seventh Prince every other and shows her love and support for the Seventh Prince, even if the Seventh Prince doesn't dare to say anything or do anything, the Jiang family will be suspicious!" At that time, the subordinates dared to say: If the Seven Princes want to survive and don't rely on Niangniang, who else can they rely on? β
Empress Dowager Gu was finally moved: "Since this is the case, then the mourning family will go to his side in person for a while!" β
Compared with the fate of the net worth that is difficult to protect after a complete failure, it is really nothing to be a grandmother who moves to get close to her grandson in person!
And when Empress Dowager Gu was persuaded by Tang Zimo to give up King Zhou and dig into the corner of the queen's party, Princess Gu Qianna was in a hurry: "Damn Xue Chang!" Damn the Jiang family! The most damned thing is ......" bit his lip hard to stop a few people who almost blurted out, "all of them are like dead people!" Such a big thing, I can't even hear the slightest wind in advance! β
Concubine Tang Xinqiong was used to listening to her everything before the two of them left the cabinet, and although she became a rival in love after leaving the cabinet, she instinctively asked when she encountered such a major event: "What should we do now?" Sister, you should think of a way! β
"Wasn't I thinking? Don't be noisy! Gu Qianna glanced at her in disgust, biting her lip and thinking hard, "Xue Changcheng's Mansion is deep and steady, since he dares to say that the prince killed the king, he must be fully prepared!" The prince fell into such a crime, how can the people in this house be good?! No, no, the people below may still have a chance to escape or survive, and my wife will probably accompany the prince on the road - how can this work?! β
It's just that now the general trend of the Zhou Wangfu has gone, and even Tang Zimo, one of King Zhou's fathers-in-law, took the lead in suggesting that the Empress Dowager Gu give up this grandson.
However, after three days, King Huainan of Zongzheng Temple brought the edict jointly promulgated by the two queens, and unexpectedly announced that the king of Zhou was convicted of killing the king, and he was told that the emperor had turned the corner and interceded with him, and the king of Zhou himself was also a royal bloodline, so he let him judge himself......
As for the family members, the concubines will be given death together!
Before Yi Zhi finished reading, the side concubine Tang Xinqiong fell to the ground - but she couldn't accept the result of accompanying her husband to die less than a year after passing the door, and passed out directly!
At this time, King Zhou himself lost his soul and couldn't control her, Gu Qianna looked at her husband, trembled for a while, moved to the side of King Huainan, and pleaded sadly: "Lord, I don't know the emperor's grandmother and queen mother, do you want you to return to the palace immediately?" If not, I implore the prince to allow the concubine to bathe and change her clothes, and then receive the decree! β
The king of Huainan is a neutral party, although this time Xue Chang suddenly joined forces with the Jiang family, and the position of the neutral party seems to be less neutral, but the king of Huainan himself is reluctant to take sides. He had a reputation for generosity in the clan, and it was not too much to listen to Gu Qianna's request at this moment, so he nodded: "It should be okay for this king to return to the palace before evening!" β
It's morningβhow many hours do you have left?
Gu Qianna breathed a sigh of relief, gratefully kowtowed to him as a thank you, returned to the back hall, and hurriedly summoned her confidants: "You quickly do what I say!" β
When this Princess Zhou left her husband and side concubine and was about to survive alone, in the mansion of the Duke of Qin, Mrs. Tao was smiling on her face, holding Jiang Qizheng's hand, why was she reluctant to let go: "It's been two months?" Why don't you kid know how to cherish yourself at all, and you didn't even find out until now?! β
β¦β¦ Today, Jiang Qizheng went back to her parents' house as usual to ask about Qiu Feng's whereabouts, but her husband's whereabouts had not yet been determined, and when she was left by her younger brother and sister-in-law, she vomited after eating a few mouthfuls of fish.
Although Mrs. Tao does not pay as much attention to Jiang Qizheng as she does to Jiang Yashuang, she is also raising the children under her knees in the end. I was naturally overjoyed to hear that she was pregnant!
It's just that while being happy for Jiang Qizheng, he feels regretful and unhappy about Qiu Feng's departure at this moment: "The horse is really, there is chaos in Shazhou, what's the use of him going alone?" It's better to be at home with you than to make trouble for the people over there! β
At this time, Jiang Yashuang was called away by Qin Guogong again, and the old lady asked Qiu Yulan, who was sitting on the side, "Have you found the horse?" Call him back! There is not even an elder in the princess's mansion, as soon as he leaves, he has to worry about Zheng'er alone inside and out, what should I do when I am tired? ! β
Qiu Yulan smiled bitterly, Jiang Qizheng thought of the love between husband and wife, except for her, even in front of Jiang Yashuang, he didn't even want to say that he had an embarrassing relationship with the horse, the reason why he didn't often go back to his parents' house was not at all the love between husband and wife that his mother's family thought was reluctant to go out - this time the autumn wind said goodbye, and the Jiang family thought that he was really a hero with a temper attack, and went to Shazhou to help his "friend" Qiu Jinglan!
The question is...... Although the whereabouts of the autumn wind moving south were discovered, the people still did not find it. Now how do you want her to answer Mrs. Tao?
Fortunately, Jiang Qizheng took over the topic in time: "Grandmother, don't blame the horse, it's also the granddaughter's bad, I inadvertently asked a few words about the horse's urgency and righteousness when he was on the rivers and lakes, and I thought that the horse mistakenly thought that his granddaughter wanted him to go to Shazhou!" β
Qiu Yulan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the topic: "Grandmother, since the eighteenth brother-in-law is not in Beijing, my sister is only now pregnant, and it is really uneasy to live alone in the princess's mansion!" Why don't we keep my sister at home for a few days? So that everyone can rest assured! β()
