Chapter 409: The Merit Delivered to Your Door

As the daughter of Uncle Zhao Wu, Gu Zhen was more informed about the news of the war in the north than she was. He hesitated for a while and said, "That's not true. It is said that Master Wang has already fought a battle with the army of the royal court, although he has the upper hand. , but it has not been wiped out in one fell swoop...But some tribes may see that the situation is not good, and contact them privately, wanting to surrender to the country."

Yun Fenghuang frowned and said: "People who are not of my race must have different hearts. Didn't Xifa also play this trick earlier? How can I believe it."

"...It is said that several generals under the Marquis of Jingning went to persuade that tribe." Gu Zhen looked at her with a strange expression, and said slowly, "Your brother Xie Wuzheng is also among them, maybe the envoy was delayed on the way. So you haven't received the message yet."

Yun Fenghuang: "..."

This is not necessarily because the envoy was delayed, but because Xie's background is shallow, how can the convenience of sending letters be compared with that of Uncle Zhaowu's mansion?

She changed her face without changing her expression, "However, there are exceptions to everything. The country is in full swing, and His Majesty is a virtuous king that is rare in all ages! Weihe is just a barbarian in a remote place, and seeing that he is powerless to resist the majestic power of heaven, let alone the small clan of Miner ? This move must be because God has the virtue of being good at life, and he can't bear to wipe out all the barbarians, so he grants a chance of life!"

Gu Zhen has always been convinced by her eloquence, so she quickly and quietly wrote down these words, planning to follow suit on similar occasions in the future, and coughed dryly: "It's because of the things Ke decided earlier, the Marquis of Jingning didn't dare to make decisions on his own. , intending to request His Majesty’s Holy Judgment.”

"But I don't know how the empress thinks about this matter?" Maybe Xie Wuzheng wanted to make a big contribution to this matter, and Yun Fenghuang was naturally very concerned. Hearing this, he asked quickly, "What about the tribe's population? What about Weihe's status?"

"How can I, a woman in the palace, know so much?" Gu Zhen frowned slightly, "Besides, with such a big matter, can the son-in-law of Suian send you a message? He must know better than this palace. Clear, just wait for his news."

But then I thought that it would be better not to get too stiff with the imperial concubine in front of the empress dowager Yuan, he hesitated for a while, and said, "I don't know the details, but I heard that there was once a concubine in Mu'e Khan's tent." Coming from that tribe, it seems that they have given birth to male heirs. If so, they surrendered, I am afraid they have other plans."

After all, even if the Guochao beat Wei He to the point of being helpless to fight back, it was unlikely to occupy its territory for a long time.

The people of Middle Earth are not used to grazing, and the land of Weihe is inconvenient to cultivate... Anyway, the final result is nothing more than supporting a puppet after greatly weakening its national strength.

For Chunjia's monarch and ministers, anyone can make this puppet, as long as they are weak and incompetent and obedient.

So, this family wants to speculate?

Yun Fenghuang thought about it, thanked the queen, and inquired for a while, seeing that Gu Zhen didn't know other details, so he resigned and left.

Two days later, Xie Wuzheng's envoy entered the palace in a busy manner.

Sure enough, what he said was more detailed than what the queen knew, and he told Yun Fenghuang as soon as he came up, that Xie Wuzheng did not actually do this.

In other words, it had nothing to do with Xie Wuzheng at first.

That tribe was not persuaded by anyone, but they took advantage of the situation to push their grandson to be a khan, so they quietly approached several generals under Ke Cong to intercede, hoping to give their grandson a khan... ...Oh no, it is to give them a chance to offer their knees with Chunjia.

Originally, several generals could contribute to this kind of thing, but Ke Cong just killed Ke Ding, this is the second son! Yu Wei is still there, how dare they make trouble?

It's just that I can't bear the benefits given by the tribe, after thinking about it, I thought of Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiaoyu...

"Those people think that the twenty-first son is the mother's brother, and he is also the court consort. No matter how cruel Jingninghou is, he will not dare to do anything to the twenty-first son." The eighteenth son, but considering the death of Ke Ding, the twenty-first son is worried that the Marquis of Jingning will continue to make an example, how can he have the face to see the empress? Therefore, I advise the eighteenth son not to show his face."

The envoy was a little uneasy when he said this, because he was afraid that Yun Fenghuang would feel humiliated: Is it possible that the only surviving eldest brother in the palace is not as good as the concubine who can deter Jingning Hou?

But Yun Fenghuang didn't think so, but felt that Xie Wuzheng's words were mature and prudent.

If this was before the Xie clan was destroyed, she might be angry.

But right now, she really couldn't afford to lose any of her close brothers.

Especially Xie Xiaoyu is her only brother.

Like Xie Wuzheng's arrangement, she would rather be more stable.

So he nodded slightly and asked the messenger to continue.

"Young Master Twenty-one is thinking, the imperial court will definitely choose another prince from the Weihe royal family and make him Khan."

"My son also inquired about the grandson of that tribe. Although they are not as obedient as they hinted, they are indeed not very intelligent... The key is that they are young, only ten years old."

"The young master felt that this matter could be done, so he agreed to take the lead."

"Of course, it's just a little out of breath. I'll ask your empress to show me the details."

"How can a woman in the palace know about such important military affairs?" Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "Brother Twenty-One thinks it's good, so I will naturally support him."

He also said, "I just want to ask Brother Twenty-one to be careful, don't be tricked by others. I don't know much about Jingninghou's personality, but judging from his unhesitating killing of his son as an example, It's not a good thing. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups, and the generals who have been under his command for many years must not be a fuel-efficient lamp."

After exhorting, he asked Xie Wuzheng and Princess Sui'an how they were doing.

The messenger said apologetically: "The son-in-law is in the army, and I don't know much about Her Highness the Eldest Princess. In the last letter to my family, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess said that the two ladies in front of me have grown a lot taller, and Tie Hong has a good look."

"Your Highness has suffered a lot these days." Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly, "If you have time on the way back, you can tell His Highness that everything is fine with the concubine. If there is anything, I will take care of it. Yes, let her not worry."

After a long while, the envoy was sent out of the palace, the concubine contemplated for a moment, then ordered someone to pass Yi Xingen to her, and personally asked how her relationship with Du Langu's brother and sister was going.

Yi Xingen was a little embarrassed, but seeing Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, she immediately said in fear and fear: "If you go back to your mother, I have arranged for someone to go to Du's mansion to recognize relatives, but my second brother has a cold attitude. First, I said that I have recognized the wrong person." The concubine showed him the many proofs given by the empress, and he could not deny it. He also said that when he came out of the clan, he and the concubine were not brothers and sisters. Later, I learned that the concubine was living outside and gave a little help. Love, it was agreed at that time, and there is no relationship with each other! Now even if the concubine comes to the door, he...he doesn't want to bother!"

Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "What? You were dismissed like this?"

"...I just don't know what attitude I should use to continue?" Yi Xingen said anxiously, "My lady, I... I haven't gotten along with this second brother before, so I can't talk about much affection. But when I think of I was a little grateful to be rescued from that kind of place by his people at the beginning. To be honest, he doesn’t want to admit his concubine now. I am sad, but also wronged and angry. After all, do I want to have that kind of experience?!”

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "It was my late father who committed the crime, and it was my elder brother who offended the nobles by not forgiving. I am a concubine with my mother and aunt, and I live in the back house. What do you know? What can I do? Why should they bear such a price because of what they did?! The mother-in-law even killed the aunt, just to keep the festival for the late father!!! I... no, concubine... concubine... just because the concubine is a woman , so there is no choice, first the official lady, then the brothel girl, the only concubine who decides on her own is to participate in the selection, and then she still enters the palace to serve the man... Why does the second brother think that the concubine does not listen to him If you don't find a rich and honest man in the countryside to marry, you deserve to bear everything by yourself?!"

"If the concubine's appearance is ordinary, that's fine."

"Back then, my late father was an official anyway, so it's better to just say it's not good."

"Isn't the concubine boasting that an ordinary wealthy family can afford the beauty of marrying a concubine?"

"At that time, I will just walk the old road again for no reason, and maybe I will drag the innocent!"

Obviously, these thoughts have been suppressed in his heart for a long time, Yi Xingen finished speaking in one breath, before showing a little bit of fear, he hurriedly left his seat and knelt down, and panicked, "I am disrespectful, I beg my mother to punish me!"

"You went out in front of me. Naturally, I won't bother with you about small things." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "You must be aware of this. Therefore, now you are not doing things for me, but more You are doing things for yourself, for Zhaoqing, and for the seventh princess, understand?"

Yi Xingen said in a low voice: "I understand. Your Majesty, I don't mean that. Although my second brother once assisted me, but after all, it's Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Zhaoqing, and the Seventh Emperor's Daughter who are more important. This point, I have never doubted it. It's just that I don't know enough about my second brother, and I don't know how much my mother will use him in the future, so I don't know whether to continue coaxing, using affection, or... threatening?"

Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, and said: "Du Langu is young and has a long future, so there is no need to be in a hurry... Just coax a little, just say that you have been living outside for many years, and you miss your flesh and blood relatives very much. He doesn't care about you, you But I have to care about him. When I have time, I will also reveal to him some useful things in the officialdom..."

But it's a little difficult to think about it.

The main reason is that Yun Fenghuang himself doesn't know what news is useful to Du Langu?

Instead, you can find Yin Qu.

but……

Du Langu is not a three-year-old child, so he is easily moved by benefits.

If you do this, even if you can succeed in the end, it must be hard work. I don't know how to achieve the goal in the year of the monkey.

"And don't give him any benefits." Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang said decisively, "In this case, just tell him how much you value your family relationship... I will make arrangements with you."

Turning around, she asked Chen Jing, "Check out Du Langu's actions to see if he has anything to do with the remnants of the Ji family, and wrap them all in! If that doesn't work, then come up with some sensational things like disturbing Gangchang." , so that it needs to be heard by God. All in all, let Yishi be able to show kindness to him!"

As far as Du Langu's imperial examination results and background are concerned, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes the emperor's most important minister.

So providing him with some news is just icing on the cake, but where is the unforgettable feeling of reaching out to help him when he stumbled and stumbled?

What?

What if Du Langu still refuses to soften his attitude?

It doesn't matter, Yun Fenghuang still has one hand waiting for him: "Next time at the palace banquet, you remind me of this person."

If this guy doesn't know how to play, don't blame her for playing the killer!

At that time, I don't believe that Du Langu can still resist it!
