Chapter 167 Surprise!
"My lord said that the position of the crown prince is related to the country, and your majesty is so talented that he is determined not to stand for love, so he must think carefully." The visitor stood at the bottom of the steps and said softly, "Even, he will deliberately condone the relationship between the princes." After several battles, the best candidate will be determined. But the latter is not the case, even though the latter can also involve the position of the crown prince, there is a layer of separation in the end, and it is more likely to get His Majesty's compromise."
Yun Fenghuang frowned and said: "It also depends on who is sitting in the back seat, like Gu Zhen, who has the queen's seat but has not done anything at all, so it's fine. If it's my palace... Your Majesty Can you rest assured?"
The visitor said softly: "Returning to your majesty, my master said that your majesty is wise and powerful, but your majesty is also a human being. People are not grass and trees, how can you be ruthless? Your majesty has served your majesty for more than ten years and has won a lot of trust. How could His Majesty not feel guilty about the hardships that the empress mother and son have suffered? Therefore, the Empress may not have no strength to fight."
"This is inappropriate." Yun Fenghuang shook his head resolutely, "Whether this action succeeds or fails, it will consume the relationship between my palace and Your Majesty. If it succeeds, it will make His Majesty no longer favor the prince under my knee. Isn't it because of the small loss?"
She used to think of being a queen wholeheartedly, but over the years, people's ideas will inevitably change.
When Gu Zhen was still there before, as a noble concubine, her treatment was no worse than Gu Zhen's.
Now that Gu Zhen is abandoned, she is actually the queen.
That being the case, why bother to make things right?
Her goal was never Yanfu Palace, but Qingci Palace!
"If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable."
The noble concubine looked at the person and said slowly, "After all, Your Majesty has no shortage of heirs now, and there are people like me in the harem to take care of him. If he doesn't plan to create a new empress for the time being, it will be self-defeating if he does this! Yin Shangshu recently What's the matter? How could you come up with such a bad idea?"
The visitor sighed, looked left and right, and saw that they were all trusted by noble concubines, so he took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is naturally intelligent, so I must have noticed that Your Majesty appreciates King Wu? "
Yun Fenghuang's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice: "It's true, but His Majesty just appreciates it..."
"Your Majesty has been in the palace for a long time, so I don't know about it. Your Majesty's appreciation for King Wu is probably more than your Majesty expected." Someone interrupted her and said a few errands, all of which were very difficult and needed. The host was very capable, "Originally, the master specially reserved two items, intending to hand them over to His Royal Highness King Qin or King Yan, so as to demonstrate his abilities, but His Majesty arranged them for His Highness Wu Wang!"
"..." Yun Fenghuang took a deep breath and said, "And then?"
"Then His Royal Highness Wu Wang dealt with it. The servant girl was stupid and didn't know how to deal with it. I knew that my master didn't speak for a while after hearing the results of His Royal Highness Wu Wang's disposition." The visitor whispered, "Follow Let the servant girl come into the palace to persuade the empress to take the next position."
He also said, "The matter in the palace must not be hidden from the empress, dare to ask the empress, what will the King of Wu do after the abolished empress goes to the cold palace?"
What kind of busy Yun Fenghuang has been recently, how can he care about all aspects?
Hearing this, he glanced at the Qing people below, and the Qing people looked at Chi'e, and Chi'e's face was not very good: "Returning to your mother, the King of Wu sent people to look after the waste many times in private. At the New Year's Eve banquet, His Majesty rewarded the emperors, The king of Wu got some food and clothing, and he ordered someone to give it to the queen when he turned around."
Also, "The King of Wu secretly took care of His Highness the King of Chu."
The visitor added a sentence at the bottom: "The reason why your majesty remembered that His Royal Highness Chu is going to marry a concubine is because His Royal Highness Wu Shengshi reminded him euphemistically, and knelt down and begged His Majesty not to behave differently because of His Royal Highness Chu." For ordinary people, they locked him up in the palace for many years. After all, His Royal Highness the King of Chu had an accident due to illness, and he was not born dull. If he married a wife and had children for him, at least he would be able to continue this line of incense, and it would also complete the royal family's father-son relationship."
"..." Yun Fenghuang's face was livid, and he didn't speak for a long time, before questioning Chi E, "Why didn't you report such a big matter to me?!"
Chie knelt down to plead guilty with a pale face.
But the imperial concubine reacted immediately, sighed, and said, "I don't blame you. No matter what, the abolished queen raised Wu Wang for a while. After she was abandoned, Wu Wang visited and took care of her in private. This is the reward that a son of man should have. Even if the palace knows, can you still stop it? You don't report it, it is for the sake of this palace, so that this palace won't be upset."
As for King Wu taking care of King Chu, the situation is similar.
King Wu and King Chu are half-brothers of the same father and mother, and they grew up together in front of Fei Hou, so the bond between them is naturally very deep.
Earlier, when Gu Zhen was not abandoned, he often visited the King of Chu.
Now that Gu Zhen was abolished, he took over the care of the King of Chu, which was reasonable and reasonable, even if he knew about the noble concubine set up by his loving mother, could he stop him?
Not only can't stop it, but even have to praise King Wu for his honesty and kindness!
Everyone has seen Yun Fenghuang's exhaustion these days, so he is naturally worried that if she finds out, there is no good way to do it, but it just adds to the trouble.
"Your Majesty, it's my maidservant's fault, I've made my own decision." Chi'e prostrated on the ground, not daring to get up, and said in a shy voice, "If your Majesty knows about Wu Wang's taking care of Chu King, don't say anything else, this reminds His Majesty to tell Chu The matter of His Royal Highness choosing a concubine, the empress can naturally think about it, but how can she sell it to King Wu?"
Yun Fenghuang smiled wryly and shook his head: "In Your Majesty's heart, I have always been kind to the heirs of the emperor. Whether I have neglected this matter or remembered it, Your Majesty will not care."
After all, she was well established and established early, and the emperor had already left a deep impression on her, which is not bad for such a description.
"It's best to let the emperor's heir mention it, but your majesty knows what kind of character the emperor's heir is, because he has been used to my palace's care all year round, and they are not familiar with the king of Chu, how could they think of such a thing? "
"Even if you talk about it, His Majesty will know that it was Ben Gong who made the point."
"What's the use of that?"
The emperor may praise the prince who is sensible and friendly, but in fact, he doesn't take it seriously, thinking that it is not the child's own credit, but the noble concubine's ability to teach the child well.
But King Wu, this little thing...
The imperial concubine closed her eyes and asked the person sent by Yin Qu: "So, Your Majesty has made up his mind?"
"If you go back to your mother, my master said that there is at least 70 to 80% certainty." The visitor sighed, "So I want to ask my mother to prepare for the worst."
It's really not that Xuanqing Palace doesn't work hard, but that Wu Wang is too good at fighting.
Qin Wang and others, if they are tied up, they may not be the opponent of this one.
Born in a Yinqu family, he was used to fighting for power and profit, and he had been immersed in the temple for many years, and he was always with the emperor. Yun Fenghuang naturally believed in his judgment.
At this moment, I understand that Yin Qu persuaded himself to let go of the national struggle for the time being, and seek the successor first.
After all, the emperor had feelings for her, and even if it was for his overall interests to enshrine King Wu, he would definitely feel guilty towards her.
At this time, the successor was proposed as a compensation. Even if the emperor knew that it would bring trouble to King Wu, and even bring misfortune to the future, it would be difficult to refuse.
Taking a ten thousand step back, even if he really refused, he would definitely try to make up for the imperial concubine from elsewhere.
In this way, there is still a chance.
After all, the prince is not the son of heaven, and if he does not ascend the throne for a day, he still has a chance.
"... I know." Yun Fenghuang closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Your Lao Yin Shangshu... By the way, how long can he stay in the position of Shangshu?"
The visitor said: "At least three days, as long as half a month, someone will come forward to impeach the Yin clan for various illegal acts. My master plans to ask himself to resign at that time. At that time, he will be sent out of the imperial capital and go to the local area to avoid Stay out of the limelight."
The imperial concubine's heart sank, which meant that Yin Qu would not only lose her current power and status, but also not be able to stay in the imperial capital to advise her!
There is no need for Yin Qu's further analysis. Focusing on this point, she feels that Chunjia's heart is probably determined.
This is not to give the imperial concubine any chance to disrupt the situation?
Then will it be possible to seek the successor position? ? ?
Especially since she is still pregnant.
In case this child was born as a prince, he would be the orthodox son.
At that time, it is true that some people will support Lidi, but how much older is King Wu than this child?
Isn't Chunjia afraid of repeating what happened in Sejong's last years?
"Does Yin Shangshu have anything else to say?" Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.
Seeing the person shaking her head, she sighed and asked someone to reward her with something, "I know, you go back to Yin Shangshu and say that I thanked him for his reminder."
After a pause, she continued, "Yan Wang's marriage has been decided, but Wei Wang's marriage has not been settled for a long time. It's not a good look after all. I thought it would be good to get married, but I don't know if Yin Shangshu knows, Are there any outstanding girls in the Yin clan?"
The left and right were startled, and when the envoy left, he said, "Your Majesty, why do you want to hire a daughter of the Yin family for His Royal Highness King Wei?"
"Can't you hear it?" Yun Fenghuang asked back, "Yin Qu is about to resign, and even leave the imperial capital! This may be His Majesty's intention, or it may be that this old boy sees that King Wu's climate is over, and he deliberately puts aside... these things The matter, we are in the deep palace, we haven’t heard of it yet, he sent someone to reveal it, you think it’s the same as usual, exchanging news? This is what he wants to use this news to exchange for King Wei’s future!"
The noble concubine let out a sigh of relief, "What he cares about most in his life are his two daughters and their bloodlines. Princess Yi is the emperor's sister-in-law, and the emperor is the adoptive heir. Princess Yi will definitely benefit from treating him courteously, but there is nothing he needs to worry about; the other is Xiaoqi."
"Now he himself has to go far away. Obviously he feels that King Wu is difficult to suppress. He uses this method to dilute the grievances with King Wu."
"But he can go far away, Princess Yi can come to the Imperial Capital less often, but King Wei is still at the knees of this palace... If it wasn't for this reason, I'm afraid he wouldn't send anyone here today to give advice to this palace!"
She sneered, "At this time, if I don't agree to plan for King Wei's future, what do you think he will do next?"
"He might turn around and vote for King Wu!"
"Although King Wu is favored by His Majesty, he is expected to enter the East Palace. After all, he is young, has not been in power for a long time, and is a man of the city. Do you think he will reject Yin Qu?"
That is absolutely impossible, if the king of Wu has no courage at all, it is impossible for him to be favored by the emperor.
"The old man is negotiating conditions with this palace!" Yun Fenghuang said while thinking, and said with hatred, "This palace will marry a girl who will not cause future troubles for King Wei, and then send her to the palace as soon as possible, Yin Qu He will take the initiative to leave the center, and the two will not help each other! Otherwise, he will take Wei Wang's future safety as a condition and join Wu Wang's command!"
After all, in an alliance of interests, natural interests come first!
