Chapter 608: Xiliang replied, the beauty of the forbidden garden
The news brought by Gu Qiuyue is actually not obvious, probably at the beginning of March, the prince who "toured" the counties of Xiliang finally returned to the national capital Dajing, and there were no rumors about the queen's house in the city, but Gu Qiuyue, a profiteer, with the help of Yu Feng, had secretly cultivated contacts in Xiliang since two years ago, and infiltrated into the three nobles.
Since the third prince became the prince of Xiliang, the first throne inheritance, Hu and Qing will naturally not let go of the ears and eyes in the Dajun Mansion, the Dajun has no marriage contract in Dalong, and now he is a single nobleman with golden glitter, and the nobles with the surname Hu and Qing will inevitably covet the throne of the Maharaja's wife if there is a woman to marry.
Mrs. Dajun is very likely to become the future queen of Xiliang, and the nobles are full of energy.
So the news about the Maharaja taking back the "concubines" who had stayed in the Jinyang Prince's Mansion and placing them in a courtyard of the Maharaja's Mansion and instructing idlers not to disturb them was "excavated" by Gu Qiuyue.
"It's very mysterious, no one with the two surnames has even witnessed the woman brought back by the Maharaja, and it is found that the maidservants serving around the woman are all the cronies selected by Xue Guoxiang for the Maharaja." Gu Qiuyue reported.
Yu Feng expected that it was a beautiful scene, and sighed slightly, at least she was safe.
"It's not easy to find out the exact news, do you want to inform Princess Donghua?" Gu Qiuyue asked again.
Back then, in order to protect An Jin, Yu Feng did not use Tianchawei, but secretly helped Gu Qiuyue to develop a lot of commercial properties in Chuzhou, outside Tongling Pass and Xiliang Dajing, in fact, it was also the contact point of the secret people, and handed over the Xiliang Line to Gu Qiuyue for overall management.
"The most guarded person of the Maharaja should be Donghua." Yu Feng frowned slightly: "Donghua's situation is already delicate, it is best not to involve her at the moment, if we want to secretly investigate this matter, we have to go through the unguarded people of the Great Monarch." ”
"Then there is only Xue Guoxiang." Gu Qiuyue said: "Princess Jin Yuan and the Great Monarch may compete for the crown, and they are on guard against each other, not to mention the Hu and Qing families. ”
"Only Wei Ran has the possibility of breaking into the Dajun's Mansion and gaining his trust." Yu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Isn't Wei Ran being installed in the Qing clan by Xue Guoxiang right now?" If I can prompt the Qing clan to recommend Wei Ran to the Maharaja, there is Xue Guoxiang's understanding, and with my understanding of the Maharaja, I should use Wei Ran to confuse the Qing clan. ”
Gu Qiuyue bowed her head in agreement, but Wei Ran was not someone he could mobilize, and he needed Yu Feng's handwritten letter.
When Yu Feng wrote the letter, he was really a little emotional, because of his faint uneasiness, he entrusted Wei Ran to sneak into Xiliang, and he never expected that he would be reused to do this crucial thing.
At present, there is no good way to help Yijing get out of trouble, but I want to get in touch with her who is confined in the deep house first.
Yu Feng thought that Yi Jing had said that the prince had a talent that he could never forget, and carefully recalled the situation of the epidemic in Bingzhou that day, and made sure that the person did not meet Wei Ran directly, while sealing the letter and handing it over to Gray Du to Chuzhou to transfer to Xiliang, he also explained to Gu Qiuyue: "The prince should still have eyes and ears in Jinyang, the body of the princess who replaced the princess was disfigured, and then there are rumors about the remnants of the previous dynasty will inevitably be known to him, and he should have expected that I have insight into the facts." ”
This is also a helpless thing, and Yu Feng thinks that even if he can blind Yu Haoxi, that person will not neglect to take precautions, and give Yijing a chance to contact the outside world, let alone let her meet An Jin.
"Therefore, at this time, we must spread rumors in the Dajing market, trumpet the Maharaja's love for the old man, and ask the King of Xiliang to make her his wife, so that the surnames Hu and Qing will be nervous, and they will pay more and more attention to the marriage with the Maharaja, so as not to lose power in the future, and let them be more and more active in planting informants in the Maharaja's Mansion, so as to be conducive to Wei Ran's actions and not be suspected."
This matter was within Gu Qiuyue's ability, and he hurriedly agreed.
The two were discussing the details, and suddenly received a report that the Pingzhang political affairs who had been repaired by the Son of Heaven from the sixth grade of the Hanlin Academy and promoted to the first rank of the senior member came to visit.
Gu Qiuyue was shocked: "Why is he here?" Isn't it rumored that Gu Pingzhang has an old grudge with the son? ”
The corners of Yu Feng's lips rolled: "Back then, he was expelled by Mr. Wei, and he once begged me to transfer from it, but I ignored it, there is estrangement, and the old grudges can't be said." But he ordered that he be invited to the study in the front yard.
Gu Qiuyue secretly thought, this is really estranged, if the prince has no estrangement to Gu Yuwen, it is to remember the feelings of being a classmate, and he should also invite Guan Suiyuan for an interview.
Seeing that the prince had a guest, Gu Qiuyue was of course inconvenient to stay for a long time, but after a while, she said: "Shizi, I didn't inquire about whether Miss Xia Ke also arrived in Xiliang safely......
Yu Feng glanced at him lightly, and did not answer, Gu Qiuyue had already bowed down, and was about to retire, and only after walking a few steps did he hear the words that reassured him.
"Since the princess is sure that she is in Xiliang, the person who fell off the cliff is definitely not Xia Ke, she and Qiu Yue are loyal and will never abandon the lord and flee by themselves."
After getting this sentence, Gu Qiuyue felt relieved for some reason, and the pace of leaving was brisker.
He also said that Gu Yu asked, in fact, he really didn't plan to take the initiative to visit the prince of Chu, or two days earlier, because of the reuse of Hanlin or not, he argued with Qin Huaiyu and his party dryly, and finally ended with Qin Huaiyu flicking his sleeves in anger, and he was left in the imperial study by the Son of Heaven.
In fact, when Tianzi ascended the throne and planned to take his father-in-law Wei Ji and take back the position of Zuo Xiang, Gu Yuwen had a dispute with the Qin Party.
Qin Huaiyu recommended Zhuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and Gu Yuwen strongly supported Chen Zhinian, the brother of the Empress Dowager Chen, and advised Qin Huaiyu behind his back, saying that Zhuo Shangshu had already been eye-to-eye with Qin Xiang, if he was allowed to succeed to the left minister, the Zhongshu Province was in Qin Xiang's control, and the momentum of the two families should be balanced at the moment, the Chen family is the mother of the saint, and the same as Qin is the right hand, and the saint should not be abandoned and used.
The Son of Heaven is a suspicious person, of course, he listened to Gu Yuwen's advice, Qin Huaiyu originally thought that he and Zhuo Shangshu "fell in love with each other" The matter was kept secret, and their "in-laws" were twisted and turned, to put it bluntly, it was just a disfigured niece in Mrs. Zhuo's mother's family, married to a widower who lost his wife in the Qin family, if this is also a proof of friendship, Dalong, these noble families may be a family member, on the surface, Zhuo Shangshu is still a person in the line of Wei Guogong, so Qin Huaiyu advised, if Zhuo Shangshu is appointed as the left minister, It is not obvious that the suppression of the Su family is convenient for secret planning, and Zhuo Shangshu is far more active than Wei Ji, relatively easy to win over, and was subdued by the saint.
Qin believed that his heart was full, but he was asked by Gu Yu to dismantle the stage behind his back, how could he not be angry!
Most of the people in Hanlin's group were reused by the first emperor, and they were pulled by Yu Feng and Su Yi, of course, they couldn't be trusted.
Since Qin Huaiyu assisted King Qing to ascend to the throne, he thinks that he is a head higher than the Chen family, and his ambition has secretly grown, and he has not done it so obviously on the surface, and he is already planning to dominate the world.
Suppressing the Su and Chu mansions is the means that the Son of Heaven is bound to take, so Qin Huaiyu set his eyes on the Chen family, but he didn't know that he would kill Gu Yu halfway!
However, the Son of Heaven is especially important to Gu Yuwen, how can Qin Huaiyu not grit his teeth.
He hurriedly collected the evidence and submitted it to the Imperial Palace, resolutely opposing the reuse of Hanlin, on the grounds that the gang was very convinced of the two cabinet scholars.
This is indeed the hidden worry of the Son of Heaven, when asked Gu Yuqing, he also admitted that especially the prince of Chu had a great influence on the Hanlin, but asked the Son of Heaven: "The prince of the world wrote "Cangsheng Fu" back then, conquered thousands of scholars, does the saint want to abandon the scholars?" ”
He also admonished: "The two mansions of Su and Chu must be divided and ruled, according to the views of the ministers, it is a good policy to encircle the palace of Chu at the moment." ”
The Son of Heaven once again adopted Gu Yuwen's advice, but handed over the glorious task of encircling Yu Feng to Gu Yuwen.
This made Gu Yuwen very embarrassed: "Don't hide it from the saint, back then...... The prince is very distant from his subordinates and has some disdain. ”
The Son of Heaven waved his sleeves: "Chen Sesame rotten grain, Yu Feng's person I still have some understanding, I usually treat people a little coldly, but also because of his temperament, maybe you are not prejudiced, and now you are my believer, I want to see if the prince of Chu will give me this face." ”
So Gu Yuwen had no choice but to bite the bullet, and when he was invited into the outer study, his face sank.
Fortunately, I was not turned away.
Yu Feng deliberately hung him for two moments before going to see someone, and after the two of them were slightly cold, Gu Yuwen expressed his concern about the disappearance of the princess, and after talking for a long time, he talked about the topic and asked whether Hanlin should be reused.
"It's still the sentence I advised Brother Gu that day, don't be in a hurry, the imperial examination selects scholars, and promotes talents, but most of the scholars are not familiar with government affairs, whether it is studying in Hanlin, or observing politics in the six departments, it takes a process to link the doctrine with practice." It seems that Gu Yuwen was directly promoted to an important member of the Chinese book.
These words made Gu Yuwen's face sink even more.
After all, this conversation was not very pleasant, and the Son of Heaven sneered when he heard it: "When my father was in power, Yu Feng Ke praised the Hanlin scholars, and when I was in power, seeing that I was going to cultivate new forces, he felt that he was going to gradually empty the Su and Chu mansions...... My father praised the loyalty of the two governments that day, and that's it. ”
Gu Yuwen didn't say much, and there was some acquiescence.
As a result, the Hanlin scholars were more and more reused.
Yu Feng was still indifferent, but the Qin Party became more and more dissatisfied, but of course there was no disobedience to the holy will on the surface.
The Son of Heaven wanted to install cronies in the Ministry of Rites, and was about to transfer Emperor Gaozong's favored Wei Yuren and Wei Yuan, but he didn't want to be stopped by the Empress Dowager.
Of course, the Empress Dowager's interference in politics was not widely publicized, and the Son of Heaven compromised for some reason.
These open and secret battles in the Dalong court were carried out quietly and silently, and the Dajun's Mansion in the neighboring Xiliang was in a quiet and elegant courtyard called the Green Qing Courtyard.
The white-clothed maid Xinque had a critical gaze, secretly looking at the woman who was playing against the Maharaja, and said that her appearance was superior, but who did she show her high appearance, when who didn't know, this person was just a maid in Dalong, and she couldn't take out her identity, and she accidentally had an accident when she was sent to Xiliang, and she lost her memory, and she was so indifferent to the Maharaja, which made the Maharaja a lot of connivance, which was really embarrassing.
Most of the white-clothed maids in Xiliang were from prestigious families, not ordinary slaves and maids, so Xinque was very complacent, and looked down on this woman who was from a humble background, but the monarch made them call "Madame".
But when her gaze followed the white child between the woman's fingers and landed on the chessboard, her eyes were suddenly full of surprise.
The Maharaja actually ...... Lose?
"Look, I'll just say it, you must still remember the four arts." Yu Haoxi was full of surprises.
In a red pavilion under the shade of green bamboo, the woman in red who was half-leaning on the chair looked indifferent: "I'm tired, go rest first." ”
As soon as His Royal Highness approached, the woman was obviously shrinking, so the helpless Maharaja had to instruct Pan'er: "Help Mrs. go back to the room." ”
Watching the back of the beautiful scenery turn around the winding path, Yu Haoxi frowned, and his eyes fell between black and white.
Fifth sister, are you really amnesia?
