Chapter 68: Introduction
In the imperial study, Emperor Tianwei had no intention of playing the fold, the sky outside had already turned white, and the morning sun rose faintly from the east mountain.
Emperor Tianwei got up, came to the corridor in front of the study, and looked at the morning glow on the horizon.
Gonggong Cao thoughtfully sent a cloak and draped it on Emperor Tianwei's shoulders. This cloak is already half-new, and at the neckline of the cape, the pink plum blossom is still blooming.
This cloak was made by Emperor Tianwei when Concubine Mei left the palace. Over the years, although it has long been broken, Emperor Tianwei has been reluctant to discard it.
A faint look of worry appeared on Emperor Tianwei's face.
"I don't know what happened to Concubine Mei......"
Finally, a generation of emperors spoke out their worries.
Cao Gongguild understood, and said: "Since the emperor is so worried about Mei Niangniang, it is better to make a holy decree and return to the palace." ”
Emperor Tianwei turned his face back, glanced at Gonggong Cao, and thought thoughtfully. Father-in-law Cao knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he closed his mouth and said no more.
"I don't want Concubine Mei to return to the palace, and stay with me every day, but back then, Concubine Mei left the palace in a bad mood and broke with me. If I let her return to the palace with a holy decree, I will not only lose my face, but also cannot guarantee Concubine Mei's bearing. ”
"A dilemma."
What Emperor Tianwei was worried about was not something that Gonggong Cao could understand.
"The slave knows." Father-in-law Cao responded.
He has been waiting close by Emperor Tianwei for more than 20 years, even if it is a look from Emperor Tianwei, he can understand God.
"What do you know?" Emperor Tianwei said tentatively.
Father-in-law Cao said again: "The slave doesn't know anything......"
Emperor Tianwei looked at the shrewd Gonggong Cao, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Okay, you old slave who always pretends to be confused, when I am empty, I have to clean you up." ”
With a light smile, Gonggong Cao retreated behind Emperor Tianwei.
"Okay, the time has come, Xiao Caozi, change your clothes, it's time for me to go to court." Emperor Tianwei returned to the house and changed his clothes.
The drums of the fifth watch rang out in response, and the dragon of Emperor Tianwei came out of the imperial study, and the eunuchs hugged each other, and hundreds of officials entered the palace.
Xiushui was inside, Yushu and Yuping retreated to the left and right, and Aunt Ying was close to wait for Dugu Die to change her clothes. Since Aunt Ying properly handled the matter of Mama Sun, Dugu Dieyi has trusted her a little, and the food, drink, and clothing in ordinary life have been handed over to Aunt Ying to take care of.
Not to mention, Aunt Ying is the old man in the palace in the end, everything should be arranged, so that Dugu Die can't find the slightest fault.
"Princess, today the slave maid went to the tea division to get tea, and heard that there was something about Lord Hu Yusong, and it was about Hu Yusong and Lord Hu's ......" Aunt Ying said calmly.
A smile appeared on Dugu Dieyi's face.
"What's wrong?"
"I heard that Hu Yusong has been dismissed, and now he is being detained in Hu's mansion, waiting to be released." Aunt Ying said again.
Dugu Dieyi's heart quickly thought about it.
"It is said that this Hu Yusong committed the crime of defrauding the king, and his crime should be punished, why did Emperor Tianwei only slightly dismiss him?" Yushu asked puzzled.
Dugu Die analyzed with a light smile: "I heard Princess Xin say that Emperor Tianwei only rewarded Hu Yusong a few months ago, saying that he was thoughtful and very sacred!" Now, Hu Yusong has been corrupt, if he is easily convicted and punished, it will definitely damage Long Yan. If my guess is correct, it won't be long before Hu Yusong will have his own home. ”
Aunt Ying listened to Dugu Dieyi's analysis, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Although Emperor Tianwei is on the throne, he is a person who wants to save face. He can tolerate official corruption, but he never wants the world to know that he has done something wrong.
"Auntie, have you heard that who is the person who took Hu Yusong's position?" Dugu Dieyi inquired.
Ying Gu answered: "It's the five-grade walk of a study room under Shangguan Yu." It is said that this person is outstanding and was personally recommended by Lord Shangguan. ”
"Heh......"
Dugu Dieyi sighed lightly: "It seems that this beneficiary is the king of Qing again." These days, the king of Qing can be said to have reaped the benefits. ”
Ying Gu thought for a while, and then said: "The princess doesn't know, these days, there is a rumor inside and outside the palace, saying that the prince of Qing is very likely to be the most popular candidate for the crown prince's position." ”
"Okay, the king of Qing is talented and virtuous, why not be the prince?" Dugu Butterfly retorted.
Aunt Ying was silent and no longer spoke too much.
As a slave and maid, when waiting for the master, you should know what to say and what not to say. Just enough is enough.
"Today's heavy snow closes the door, you can't walk in the palace, it's better to do this, our master and servant play dominoes together to relieve boredom." Dugu Butterfly is proposed.
Yushu and Yuping heard this, and went to get the dominoes in a panic.
In Empress Sun's palace, Concubine Yue was angry, and Empress Sun's face was not much better.
These days, King Duan's mistakes have affected Queen Sun a lot. I heard the palace people say that at today's court meeting, King Duan and King Rui quarreled in the court.
King Duan angrily scolded King Rui for sleeping in the gentle township, and King Rui accused King Duan of using people inappropriately, in short, two people, you bite me, I bite you, it is very different from their identity as a prince.
If it weren't for Emperor Tianwei sitting on the dragon chair and sitting in the formation, they would all start fighting.
It is precisely because of the contradiction between King Duan and King Rui that it also caused a war in the harem. As soon as the court meeting came down, Concubine Yue came to Queen Sun's palace in a bold manner, she was openly under the banner of greeting her, but in fact, she came to quarrel with Queen Sun.
Over the years, although Empress Sun is the master of the harem, Concubine Yue Guifei has relied on her Hu origin and does not save any face for Empress Sun.
Empress Sun had the heart to clean up Concubine Yue, but Concubine Yue had King Rui under her knees, and Concubine Yue was quite loved by Emperor Tianwei, even if Queen Sun had a heart, she was really powerless.
"Concubine Yue, what kind of system did you make when you came to me early in the morning to make a lot of noise in Feng'an Palace?" Empress Sun was visibly displeased.
Concubine Yue was not to be outdone: "If it weren't for your mother and son who forced us to no longer live, I wouldn't be so ruined." Queen, don't just rely on the fact that you are the queen of the middle palace, you can deceive my mother and son like this. ”
The attitude of the two people at this time is the same as King Duan and King Rui in the court.
These two women have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, but they have not won a name in the end. went to the position of the crown prince, but no one saw any benefit.
"You're just a daredevil......"
"You're just a deceitful ......"
Concubine Yue and Empress Sun, there is no fuel-efficient lamp, you don't back down, and I don't show weakness, just like that, a war ignited again.
