Chapter 437: The Great Yan Clan Controversy (Part 2)
The controversies of the former dynasty spread to Yun Fenghuang, and the noble concubine frowned slightly.
Chen Jing said in a low voice: "The meaning of Lord Yin is that the empress does not need to publicly express her position on this matter for the time being, and wait for the temple to be torn up for a while, so that those who were originally silent will stand up, and then make a plan..."
A famous family is a famous family.
Yun Fenghuang nodded, and sighed in his heart, but he was a little wary of Yin's in his heart.
She understood Yin Qu's intentions, since she decided to support Xuanqing Palace in seeking the crown prince, then some things were about to start now.
For example, identify the enemy and the enemy.
This time, the position of the Da Yan family is a very good opportunity.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Xie family's daughter becoming the Da Yan family is good for Xuanqing Palace.
Therefore, those who stand on the Gu family's standpoint, or those who want to support the prince as the heir apparent, will definitely oppose it.
Although it is still a few years before the princes grow up and officially kick off the prelude to the battle for the prince, the current situation between the enemy and us may not be the situation at that time, but we can also get a glimpse of the general situation, estimate the number and size of the opponent, and carry out targeted strategies arranged.
It's not that Yun Fenghuang didn't expect these things, it's just that as a concubine, she doesn't have reliable helpers outside, so it's naturally inconvenient for her to move.
Now that Yin Qu's attitude was clear, he immediately started to make arrangements. This made Yun Fenghuang feel satisfied, but he couldn't help but feel guarded, worried that if he was overwhelmed by the other party in the future, then King Jin might go to Chun Jia's Lu Zi in his early years has become a puppet with the name of the emperor.
"Bengong understands." She collected herself and ordered, "You tell Mr. Yin, I will cooperate with him."
With the promise of the imperial concubine, Yin Qu began to turn his hands into clouds and rain. This time he vividly demonstrated the skills that a patriarch of a famous family should have.
After the allies on Gu's side opposed Xie's daughter as Da Yan's family out of human relations, Yin Qu did not immediately counterattack, but asked the other party to recommend candidates.
The descendants never thought that the noble concubine would take the position of the Da Yan family. After all, there was no rumor about this matter before. Besides, at the earliest time, everyone thought that it was probably following the previous dynasty, adding the clan daughter to the princess and downgrading Wei He. Or, choose a beautiful court lady, add the title of princess, and give it to Wei He Da Khan as his wife.
But where would he expect the three nieces raised by the imperial concubine?
In this case, they could only hastily propose a court lady proposal.
Then he was refuted by Yin Qu's side. The reasons include but are not limited to, the maids come from humble backgrounds, and they often don't know the words. How much can they understand the righteousness of the country? Who can guarantee that after she goes to Weihe and becomes the honorable Dayan clan, will she forget righteousness for profit, cross rivers and demolish bridges, forget the kindness of the dynasty, and consider everything from Weihe's standpoint? Even if the family members are left as hostages, but to put it bluntly, women who marry out of the house these days throw water outside the house, and when they choose to marry and follow their husbands, according to the secular philosophy of the Central Plains, it is wrong to not bring them.
Furthermore, even if you still cared about your family at the beginning, once you give birth to an heir, the heir is also a blood relative!
The most important thing is that the mere court ladies and servants will not be able to support the aura and pattern that the Da Yan family should have. Wei He must have underestimated the central kingdom, thinking that the princess who was formally conferred by the imperial court would just return like that. thing. At that time, it will be trivial for the Da Yan family to lose face, and it will cause Wei He to be contemptuous of Zhongtu, and instead develop ambitions that he shouldn't have, which will be a great joy.
All in all, Gu's proposal is simply ridiculous!
Gu's then retreated to the next best thing, saying that if the maid is inappropriate, she can be named as a court lady.
This was also an example in the past, but Yin Qu once again vetoed it, and even suspected that the so-called Gu's so-called minister's daughter as the princess was Wei He's Da Yan, but the actual idea was to let Gu's daughter be the Da Yan !
Yin Qu even personally went out to speak to the emperor, saying that this was absolutely impossible.
Because Uncle Zhaowu Gu Fangshu has been stationed in northern Xinjiang for many years, there are many opportunities to communicate with Wei He in secret. In this case, taking Gu's daughter as Da Yan's family, isn't this an opportunity for Gu's ambitions!
Gu Shi was of course furious, refused to admit such accusation, and suspected that Yin Qu had deliberately framed him, and pointed out that Wei He's sudden defeat this time was evidence of Gu Shi's innocence!
Otherwise, if Gu's really colluded with Wei He as Yin Qu said, how could Wei He cool down so quickly?
Yin Qu just sneered: "Don't forget that the leader of the army this time is the Marquis of Jingning, not Uncle Zhaowu!"
It's as if it's your Gu family's credit for pacifying Weihe.
He also took advantage of the situation and told Chunjia that the Gu family's words showed that the Dingbei Army had been regarded as private property, so the battles won by the Dingbei Army were also credited to his own family, not the hard work of Marquis Jingning.
... Anyway, it was a mess that day, and there was no result in the end.
Later, when it was late, the monarch and his ministers were hungry, Chunjia came out to smooth things over, and the matter came to an end for the time being.
After the crowd dispersed, they couldn't wait to inquire about the news, trying to figure out what was going on?
"What else could be going on? I thought it would take another two years before the eventful year." As a veteran and important minister, Ouyang Yanran was naturally a popular candidate to inquire about the news.
He sighed helplessly, and said, "But some people can't wait any longer, and the storm will start to stir up waves right now... Tomorrow, just call me sick for the old man."
"But father, if you don't go to court, what if the imperial concubine really elects her niece to be the Weihe Dayan family?" The Ouyang family's children were all shocked, and the eldest son couldn't help worrying, "The imperial concubine and my family have a lot of grievances. It is not a good thing for the Ouyang family to gain power!"
"Your Majesty would not wish to see this old man meddling in the battle for crown prince." Ouyang Yanran looked at him and sighed, "Princes are still young, and the situation is not clear now. The most important thing is that Your Majesty is still in his prime. At this time, I will go to support the prince, what does your Majesty think? Yin Qu dares to do this, because there is a noble concubine behind her. The noble concubine is very fond of her, and her majesty tolerates her very much. Even if you are unhappy, it is not so bad to be coaxed by the noble concubine I don't care about it. It's just that the lucky shoes are no longer there, even if they are, how can there be such a decent concubine?"
Seeing that his descendants were a little sad, he shook his head and said, "After all, my family is a famous family, but there is no need to be so troubled because of the mere grievances with the noble concubine. To put it bluntly, the grudge between my family and the noble concubine, has the noble concubine ever suffered? In this way, after two years, after the old man retires, you will be in charge of the family, and then try to make friends with him."
Hearing this, the children and grandchildren were shocked, and quickly advised him to calm down.
After all, although there are not a few Ouyang family members who are officials and some are in the temple, but like Ouyang Yanran, there is no second person who can become an important official.
If Ouyang Yan suddenly retreated, there would be no children in the family who could take over his status and power for the time being. Wouldn't the weight of the Ouyang family decline?
"This is not a matter of the old man saying that he will not retreat." Ouyang Yanran shook her head and said slowly, "You all know the reason why the emperor raised this old man back then. In fact, it was mainly to target the Ji family. Now the internal worries The foreign aggression has been settled. Even if the old man refuses to leave, will His Majesty agree? Today, the great man is talented, but he is not the kind of mediocre and conservative king. He must show his strength, and this time will not be too late It's too late... All in all, after two years, if the old man doesn't want to retire, His Majesty must have signaled it."
As far as Chunjia's temperament is concerned, if he is sensible at the time, there should be some favors for Ouyang Shi, as a reward for his assistance in the past few years; if he is not sensible...
Then maybe the emperor will give Ouyang a ride just like he sent the Ji family and the Yuan family.
How else could Ouyang Yanran choose?
"Father, even if His Majesty is ambitious and wants to rejuvenate the country, why is father not the pillar of the country?" Ouyang's eldest son couldn't help but said, "Why do you want father to step down?"
"Have you forgotten the lesson of the Ji family?" Ouyang Yanran sighed softly, "The reason why the Ji family was able to dominate the government and the public, and even Xiaozong was unable to resist, in the final analysis is because they controlled the government for many years when they were in Shenzong! Looking at the history of a capable ruler, even if he is a courtier who is talented and talented, he will not be allowed to hold a high position for too long, so as not to form cliques for personal gain and endanger the imperial power!"
"Although the Son of Heaven is young, he has always been calm and wise. How could he not understand this truth?"
"The old man was elected by the emperor to get rid of dissidents. Now looking at the sea, there are no people or things that can threaten the emperor. If you don't retreat, isn't it a disaster?"
He shook his head and said, "Originally, I wanted to rely on the friendship of the past two years to stay for three or two years, and then retreat after the King Qin and his highnesses agreed to marry each other. But Yin Qu started ahead of time, but he couldn't leave. Otherwise, Ouyang will be involved, and there will be endless troubles!"
His descendants were a little frightened, and couldn't help asking: "Why did father say such a thing? Could it be that father doesn't like the queen? Concubine Min Gui is so favored, can he teach the emperor to rely on her for such important matters as the crown prince?"
"Concubine Min Gui is just a woman, what can I do?" Ouyang Yanran said, "The key lies in the emperor... The attitude of the emperor so far has always been to establish a descendant. The problem is that the successors of Yuan Dynasty have nothing to do. The first prince is actually born by the concubine, but it is recorded in the name of the successor. Compared with the real son, this title is somewhat lacking. And there is also a loophole, that is, if the emperor takes a fancy to the concubine in the future , the big deal is to adopt to the empress, and to give him the status of a son! The emperor does not favor the empress, and what can make him try to protect the empress position is nothing more than the emperor attaches great importance to the Gongxiang family's country and does not want to cause trouble."
"But that was before."
"At that time, if the emperor did not establish a daughter of a rich family, and did not approve of having a descendant, it would inevitably attract a lot of opposition."
"Now that the emperor's position is stable today, it will become more and more stable in the future. It is even conceivable that he will soon be like the first emperor of Shenzong, with Tianxian in his mouth and Yuji Yunei!"
"At that time, the candidate for the crown prince is only in his mind."
"You say, based on the current situation, who can guess the master who can finally be recognized by the emperor?"
Ouyang Yanran didn't say anything else.
That is, he, like Yun Fenghuang, understands that Chunjia has always liked only one kind of person, whether it is a concubine's heir or a courtier, he likes smart people.
It's best to be both talented and beautiful.
There are many princes in the palace now, but because of their age, it is really hard to tell who is the most outstanding and most admired by the emperor.
Betting in advance on such a big matter is no different from courting death. Ouyang Yan thought over and over again. She had already suffered a loss because of him standing in Xiaozong earlier, and she must not be hit by another failure in standing in line.
In that case, the Ouyang family, who has just recovered a little vitality, may fall out of the ranks of the top families.
In this way, he can only retreat bravely, so as to preserve his vitality.
The next day, everyone was still waiting to continue discussing the matter of the Da Yan family, but the news of Ouyang Yanran claiming to be sick and requesting to return to his hometown suddenly appeared, abruptly stealing everyone's attention from the candidates for the Da Yan family.
