Chapter 393: Declaration of War

The harem did not know the details of Ke Cong's murder, because the Ke family did not have a daughter in the palace. Most of the concubines were only slightly surprised by the news and did not pay much attention to it.

That is, the queen and the concubine are very concerned.

"Marquis Jingning is really cruel. He is a good son. If he says he will kill him, he will kill him." Gu Zhen frowned slightly, and sighed, "He is forcing me, Mrs. Gu!"

Before her nephew instigated part of the Dingbei army to rebel, Uncle Zhao Wu personally went to surrender, which was originally a major event that caused a sensation in the government and the public.

It's just that the city of Huizhou was destroyed, and the people in the city were slaughtered.

In contrast, a minor rebellion by one of Gu's sons was nothing, and it disappeared without a trace. There is no definite statement until now.

Originally, it doesn't matter whether it's the queen or the Gu family, they still want to try to save him...

It's all right now, Ke Ding didn't do anything, but was persuaded to raise the Kou's self-respect, and was killed by Ke Cong.

Everyone is a military commander, and they are all descendants of the direct line. The Ke family can kill their son to prove their innocence, and then they have to submit a petition to plead guilty. Doesn't your Gu family have anything to say?

Then what is your intention behind the Gu family!

Of course, Gu Zhen can't care about her nephew, who is sure to be unstoppable. What she worries about is that Ke Cong is simply stepping on all the other generals to show their loyalty.

Will Chunjia feel bad for her natal family because of this, and then list the Ke family as a candidate for succession?

Although she is afraid of Yun Fenghuang now, she still has some confidence in her heart. This confidence mainly comes from Chunjia's regard for Gongxiang's family.

And Yun Fenghuang's background is naturally a disadvantage, this point, no matter how clever and astute this noble concubine Min is, cannot smooth it over.

But the daughter of the Ke family is different...

"Don't worry, ma'am, Uncle, I told you earlier in the morning, and when this battle comes to an end, I will naturally give His Majesty a comprehensive explanation." Seeing this, the left and right quickly comforted, "Uncle is sober, he will know what to do .”

"Even if father didn't tell Bengong what to do, isn't Bengong still thinking about it?" Gu Zhen smiled wryly, "It's nothing more than handing over the military power and disarming him to return to the field... But if that's the case, the future prince will lose the support of his family. Relying entirely on His Majesty's will to gain a foothold may not be safe!"

After all, the emperor has only cared about the tenth prince and the twelve princes so far, not love from the bottom of his heart.

He decided to have a son from the very beginning, so as long as he was a healthy son, the emperor would pay attention to it. It doesn't matter if someone else becomes the first son.

Unlike Qin Wang and Zhaoqing, although Chunjia clearly knew that they were not perfect, and gave up on them at a critical moment, but in his heart, he loved these two children.

If someone else were to be the eldest son of the emperor, the eldest daughter of the emperor, he would not necessarily have this treatment.

In this situation, it seems that the son-in-law is not without support.

Because the emperor has a firm mind, he does not act recklessly with his own favor.

But Gu Zhen himself came out of such a situation: Chunjia didn't like her, but he always ensured her back position.

She knew all too well how difficult this feeling was.

Looking at her experience, she entered the palace when Chunjia was married, and was named Mrs. Yaoning for the first time. After that, she was always Mrs. Yaoning for eight years.

The emperor was not close to her and had no intention of pampering her. Ji Lingzi, as the third generation phoenix lord of the Ji family, was almost instinctive in her ability to control the six palaces. Except for being close to Concubine Zhenxishu, everyone else was because of her at that time. The Prince Regent's camp kept a distance, had a cold attitude, and even had some conflicts in private.

She was left out in the cold for eight years. Before that, as the daughter of the Gu family, she was also the jewel in the palm of her hand, honored by gold and jade.

But those eight years of experience almost wiped out all her pretentiousness.

However, the sadness is not over yet.

Although the Empress Yuan was arrogant, it was also because of her arrogance that when she was not being provoked, she would not deliberately use dirty tricks to punish her concubines.

It's just that the sudden emergence of Concubine Min is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Thinking back to the days when he was under Yun Fenghuang's hands, Gu Zhen still feels mixed feelings.

Later, she suddenly became a queen, and Concubine Min also bowed down in front of her and greeted her every day... But Gu Zhen didn't feel any feeling of elation.

Because Concubine Min's loss is nothing more than that.

She is still the emperor's darling, and Gu Zhen can't do anything to her, not only to watch her share the power that should belong to him, but also to make concessions to her on many things and occasions...

Fortunately, her life as a wife in the past years has taught her to compromise and forbearance.

The most important thing is that she has been struggling in this palace for so many years. If she doesn't follow Chunjia's wishes and become a queen who suits his wishes, is there any other better way?

And although the empress was aggrieved, the old people like Cui Lianye at the emperor's wedding already envied her very much.

After all, Cui Lianye is nothing more than Concubine Shu now, and she has no palace power yet.

All in all, Gu Zhen has such a rough experience, and from time to time he is trembling with anger from the imperial concubine, and feels sad for the emperor's favoritism.

If the tenth prince and the twelve princes also face Chunjia in the future, "I have given you the position of crown prince, what are you not satisfied with?" This is the best thing that a father can give to his son, but he doesn't even want to give him some love, it's just unreasonable"...Even if they have their own persuasion and persuasion, can they endure it once or twice, can they endure forever? !

Gu Zhen exhaled slowly, she thought it was impossible.

After all, even she had collapsed many times, even losing control in front of the emperor.

Chunjia does not have her in his heart, and is indifferent to her hysteria.

But the main palace is different from the offspring.

The emperor's expectations for Gu Zhen are not very high, but for an emperor like him, his expectations for his future successors cannot be lowered.

At that time, if he is not satisfied with the ten and twelve princes, and in this case, he thinks that the Ke family is more suitable as the descendant than the Gu family, what will happen?

Will he make the daughter of the Ke family his queen, and choose another prince whose biological mother came from a humble background as his first son?

Anyway, there are many emperor's heirs nowadays, and they are not the queen's own sons, so they are both precious and not precious.

Precious is the status of a legitimate son, which is worth considering no matter what, and not precious is this kind of adopted son, whoever the emperor says is who he is!

Gu Zhen was frightened for a moment.

But in the Xuanqing Palace at this moment, Yun Fenghuang, who didn't know where she was, was in a relaxed mood, and she was looking forward to this battle very much.

Not for anything else, just for the blood feud between the Xie clan, and also for Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiaoyu to take the opportunity to gain credit.

Originally, when she heard that Wei He took the initiative to ask for peace, and also offered the old family of Hele, she was worried that the court would compromise, so she just let it go. Now that Ke Cong has done something like this, it is impossible for Guochao to stop fighting anyway.

After all, the commander-in-chief of the expedition even killed his own son, if Guochao still pretended to be deaf and dumb, how could he be respected?

Especially Chunjia is not a cowardly king.

News came again soon from the previous dynasty. After urgent consultations with the important ministers, Chunjia announced that he had rejected Wei He's peace proposal, and ordered Ke Cong to continue to pursue the Xifa Ministry. Divorcing the relationship between the general and the imperial court is really a heinous crime with ulterior motives!

Chunjia personally experienced 28 major crimes and 79 minor crimes against Xifa, the core point of which was that Xifa was not the legitimate son or eldest son of his father Mu E.

His mother was just a slave girl in front of Mu E, she was born to Xi Fa by accident, from childhood until Mu E died, she never looked at her son seriously.

He is not the heir the former Khan wanted!

Later, because of Hele's rebellion, killing his father and brother, Mu'e's Dayan family and many descendants scattered in a hurry, Xifa took advantage of the situation to rise up, and under the guise of avenging his father, defrauded the most elite soldiers of the dynasty for an expedition.

In the end, Guochao helped him avenge his father. He not only pretended to be Hele's old tribe and attacked Huizhou, killing the people of the country, but also instigated discord between the monarchs and ministers of the country under the banner of seeking peace!

This is simply the white-eyed wolf among the white-eyed wolves, extremely ungrateful!

Our country is a great country and a country of etiquette, so naturally we will not invade other countries for no reason. This kind of thing is usually done by Wei He.

So our country is upright now, crusade against Xifa!

Yun Fenghuang was relieved when she heard the news. She believed in Xie Wuzheng's ability, and since she was the Emperor's favorite, even Jingninghou was considered a high-ranking and powerful man. There is no need for Marquis Jingning to offend her, is there? The brothers must have gained something from this battle, so they are planning how to persuade Chunjia to use them again.

After noon that day, Chunjia came to Xuanqing Palace.

This made Yun Fenghuang quite surprised, because he also knew that the emperor must be very busy before declaring war.

Chunjia explained that he came to see King Jin: "At the beginning, King Qin and Zhaoqing seemed to have grown up in an instant. I recalled their appearance when they were toddlers, but I didn't remember anything. Now I can't miss the fifteenth day."

He had just become a father at that time, because in the past when he was in the hands of the Ji family, if he had a biological prince, he would have been deprived of his father and kept his son long ago. Chunjia had just escaped from danger at that time, and her mentality had not been completely withdrawn, so she was really not interested in King Qin and Zhaoqing.

Not to mention that he would not take the initiative to get close, because Yun Fenghuang tried every means to recommend the two children, so he reluctantly got close to them for a while.

But if children want to be pleasing, they must be able to speak a few words, walk and run, so the emperor's impression of the eldest son and eldest daughter is clearer when they are three or five years old.

Saying that now, Yun Fenghuang was also a little happy, and hurriedly asked someone to carry King Jin out to play with the emperor.

King Jin is not long now, because when the flowers bloomed at a young age, a maid could easily hold them down, and King Jin had no chance to scratch his skin. After healed, there were only a few traces that could only be found when he looked closely under the sun. . Then the days will subside, becoming more and more imperceptible. Looking at it, it is a ball of crispy jade powder, with big eyes, like purple grapes, and it looks very agile. He has a good temper, he can hug anyone, and anyone can hug him safely. In the words of the Qing people, he is born to be a noble person who knows how to enjoy being served.

Now being held in the emperor's arms, he felt quite at ease, with two chubby hands clasping Chunjia's arms, spitting bubbles leisurely.

"This child is really generous. I remember that Zhaoqing recognized people when he was young, and he didn't like to let me touch him for a while." The emperor weighed the weight of the fifteen sons and said with a smile, "This child does not recognize people." .”
