Chapter 168: Worst Plan
Yun Fenghuang pondered for a moment with a sullen face, but gradually calmed down. After all, she and Yin Qu did not join forces because of deep affection, but they just got what they needed.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, this person wanted to retreat, but for King Wei's sake, he reminded her that in terms of morality, he was better than Xie Wuzheng.
"Tomorrow, ask the imperial physician to add something to King Wei's meal." The imperial concubine ordered, "Just choose the one that will not hurt your body but is not easy to teach him. After two days, I will have something to say."
Seeing the sad and indignant faces on the left and right, he couldn't help sighing, "Even if His Majesty appoints the King of Wu as the heir, even if this palace cannot become the successor, at least it is still the position of noble concubine. Even if the crown prince sees it, can you not salute this palace? Mo Forget, Your Majesty is now in his prime, not in his seventies or eighties, and he is about to go down, so that we have no one to rely on in this palace! Why do you act so dishonorably, as if the palace is running out of time?"
"My servant dare not!" Qingren and the others immediately knelt down to plead guilty.
"Wu Wang, if you were so impatient back then, it would not be his turn to sit in the East Palace!" Yun Fenghuang didn't cry out, but said to himself, "Actually, if it wasn't for the fact that he was neither born in this palace nor I raised him, and this East Palace chose him, and I was convinced. Don't say that the heirs under my knees did not have the environment to sharpen, so they lost to him. Winning is winning, and losing is losing, there is no reason to say. If not, can it be said that the concubines and concubines who have been in the hands of this palace all these years are just because they were born too noble and did not have the rough experience of this palace, so they lost a little?"
She shook her head, "Since I entered the palace, it has generally been smooth sailing, and I have never had any setbacks. It's actually okay to lose now."
"After all, firstly, His Majesty is still in his prime; secondly, if Yin Qu hadn't told me about this matter, my palace has been covered up so far. It can be seen that His Majesty deliberately concealed it, and obviously still has affection for this palace."
"It's better than when His Majesty is older and unable to take charge of the overall situation, or when the palace is old and decrepit and has no holy family, is it better to have such a thing?"
"Of course, I have been favored by me for many years, and I have many children. If I can't live in Qingci Palace in the future, it will be very difficult for the people headed by me to end well!"
"So you must be flustered right now."
"It's human nature."
When the Qing people heard this, they quickly said: "The servant girl swears to share the honor and disgrace with the empress, no matter what the empress wants to do, what will happen, the maidservant will serve you after all!"
Everyone else said the same thing.
Yun Fenghuang listened, nodded slightly, and said: "You have followed me for many years, of course you believe in being loyal to me."
"Therefore, I don't intend to hide the following things from you: consider the worst case first, that is, His Majesty has decided to appoint King Wu as the crown prince. Then for many years, all the efforts we have made in order to seek the position of crown prince and Arrangements have become a waste of nothing.”
"But King Wu was neither born nor brought up by this palace, and even this palace has considerable grievances with him, with his adoptive mother, the abolished empress Gu, and his biological mother, Ji Muzi."
"Once he gains power and goes to the harem, many people will definitely make trouble and target the Xuanqing Palace!"
"Even King Qin's future will be greatly affected."
The noble concubine said so, but her expression was not panic, but she was very calm, "But these, at least when His Majesty is still here, are not difficult. After all, it is King Wu himself. , adoptive mother's revenge, and even, he will respect this palace! If he doesn't have such a little city mansion, he won't be able to attract His Majesty's eyes."
"What needs to be worried is after the mountain collapses."
"Your Majesty's body is healthy, no matter what, it will be a long time later."
"So we still have time."
"There are so many princes and grandchildren in the previous dynasty, how high-spirited they were when they were young, and once they are deposed, they will quickly disappear."
Yun Fenghuang sneered slightly, "King Wu is patient, but is this palace not as good as a child like him? The future is long, we lose now, we can afford to lose!"
Although the Qing people and other close servants originally expressed their loyalty to the end, they were not without fear in their hearts.
After all, as the imperial concubine said, Yun Fenghuang has acted domineeringly and domineeringly all these years, if he can't be the queen mother in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end.
But she gradually calmed down after she said it in a few words: "That's right, King Wu is the third son of His Majesty. He said he was the third son, but he was born a month later than the eldest son of the emperor. He is about to grow up now." , His Majesty is still in his prime. After ten or twenty years, he will be a prime man, and His Majesty will gradually age. At that time, it is hard to say whether he still likes him."
"On the contrary, our Royal Highness King Jin, and the heirs in the womb of the empress, I'm afraid they will just grow up by then!"
At that time, the Supreme Being is old and the Crown Prince is young, so there will be conflicts. Wouldn't it be a good time for King Wu to get out of the East Palace?
Although this is just their expectation, things may not develop so smoothly by then, but at least it is a way out, and it won't make a group of people feel that the future is bleak and they can only sit and wait for death.
"Of course, no one can say for sure what will happen after many years." The Qing people tried to help the master to calm people's hearts, but Yun Fenghuang waited for them to discuss for a while, and then continued, "After all, this palace will soon be established, even if it is pampered, After all, it is not as good as the youth of the past. When His Majesty grows old and frail, I am afraid that this palace will also die, and it is unknown whether he can continue to win His Majesty."
She waved her hand so that the valet didn't need to interrupt to comfort herself, she didn't need it.
"But for now, if His Majesty appoints the King of Wu as the crown prince, he will definitely try to appease the palace, or find a way out for the palace, in case of future accidents."
She is still confident in this point, Chunjia can't talk about giving and taking from her, he has drawn a line in his heart, above this line, the imperial concubine can say whatever she wants.
Below this line, there is no negotiation.
But at least, her life, her old age, should be above this line.
Otherwise, the emperor didn't need to spend so much time on her, because he was the emperor, spoiling him when he wanted to, and letting go when it was over.
He's not someone who can't do such a cruel thing.
Therefore, this kind of affection is Yun Fenghuang's biggest bargaining chip now, "And throughout the ages, this kind of method, back and forth, is the same thing."
"Yin Qu sent someone here to make a point, because he wanted the most lucrative share: to enshrine this palace as queen. It is not only to make up for this palace, but also to restrain King Wu from going forward. Even if His Majesty is gone, this palace is still his aunt. "
"But it's really not much use."
"After all, there are no outsiders here at the moment, so I would like to say something that is taboo: how did His Majesty treat the common man Ji Sheng back then, who knows whether King Wu will deal with me in the same way in the future?"
As the empress of Emperor Xiaozong, the common man Ji Sheng didn't even get a decent end.
Not only was his status abolished, but the tablet was moved out of the ancestral temple, and he was not allowed to be buried with Xiaozong, and even his body was not preserved.
There is such an example in the front, at least no aunt in this dynasty would foolishly believe that she can restrain an unfilial son by relying on her status as a aunt.
Especially if King Wu is the kind of cowardly prince, that's all right, but this one got Chunjia's approval purely by himself. Now that Chunjia is here, it's no problem for him to pretend to be a filial son and virtuous grandson.
Once Chunjia is gone, I'm afraid those who have revenge will be more straightforward than Shenzong!
"What's more, I am pregnant. Once the twins are born with male heirs, they will be proper sons. Since your majesty has decided to make King Wu the heir, how can he do such a thing? Therefore, the successor , I think that there is no need to fight for the time being."
Yun Fenghuang said in a slow voice, "Besides, I just use my brains in King Wu's backyard. After all, I still have a few nieces and daughters in my palace. Neither Mu'er nor Meng Meng has left the cabinet. There are two vacancies for side concubines. If he is appointed as the crown prince, then there is still a place for Concubine Liang. Your Majesty will not let him take these nieces and daughters of this palace, so as to ease the relationship between the two parties."
"But these are just delaying tactics."
"It's still the same sentence, His Majesty is here, everything is easy to talk about. If His Majesty is not here, King Wu needs to care about a few concubines and concubines?"
"How did King Wu's own biological mother go, doesn't he know?"
"But he has grown so big, does he mean to avenge Ji Muzi?"
On the one hand, his own father who was willing to pass on the throne to him, even if he didn't raise him like a pearl like a treasure, at least gave him a series of treatment that the prince should have, and found him an adoptive mother who still loved him; on the other hand Is it because I have never seen a biological mother who has no impression at all, and my mother's family has been destroyed, and the remnants of evil are spreading everywhere... How stupid is it to choose a biological mother?
It is not easy to say that it is not easy for a biological mother to conceive for ten months. Just look at Chunjia's confrontation with the Queen Mother Qu. It is not a bystander who said that the birth grace is not as good as the nurturing grace. Isn't it the feeling of the raised child?
Yun Fenghuang can guarantee that even if King Wu takes in her nieces and gives birth to children, as long as he is not harsh on those children, it is basically impossible for those children to stand up against the Xuanqing Palace faction after he ascends the throne.
Even if you stand up against it, it won't help.
Could it be that someone who is a son and a daughter will turn against the father of the Ninth Five Supreme for the sake of the elders of the next generation?
"That's why I don't take these compromises." The noble concubine looked around, "And you follow me, be prepared."
She didn't say what she was going to do, she just ordered everything to go on as usual.
King Qin got married, according to the rules, the next day he should bring his concubine back to the palace to pay his respects, and serve tea with the imperial concubine.
Chunjia showed respect to the mother and son, and rushed to Xuanqing Palace in person early in the morning to show her respect and favor.
When the time came, the palace servants led a couple of newcomers in.
But seeing Qin Wang's long body and jade, Qin Wangfei's eyebrows are picturesque, and they look like a perfect match.
The emperor was quite emotional: "Your mother and concubine coddle you in swaddling clothes, as if it was just yesterday, but you got married in a blink of an eye."
In that year, he had not been able to take charge of the government for a long time, and it was still very difficult, and more than ten years passed like this.
Chunjia sighed for a while, and then gave the reward, because he is the most beloved eldest son, and has the face of a noble concubine, the reward is very generous.
The same is true for Yun Fenghuang, this Yun Xuxu is the eldest daughter-in-law she personally picked, no matter whether she likes it or not, in front of the emperor, she always puts on a very satisfied look.
Therefore, he not only gave a lot of greeting gifts, but also called Princess Qin to her side, and carefully asked her if she was used to being in the palace, if there was anything she needed, and how King Qin treated her...
"Your mother and concubine really like you as the concubine." The emperor watched with a smile, and then quietly joked with the king of Qin, "It seems that you feel sorry for your own daughter. If you treat the concubine badly in the future, just I'm afraid that your mother and concubine will not be the first to spare you!"
Qin Wang secretly smiled, but said: "Father said yes, but I didn't intend to treat the concubine badly either!"
"Really?" Chunjia raised her eyebrows, her voice lowered, "Then what do you plan to do with Mrs. Gu?"
Gu Jue?
King Qin was startled, but fortunately, Yun Fenghuang had mentioned this beforehand, and now he only paused for a moment, then showed a complicated look, and said: "She... just forget about other things, the concubine mother is the last one. Important. Besides, there is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, how dare the son-in-law go beyond that?"
Hearing this, the emperor observed the eldest son's expression again, he didn't seem to be reluctant to part with Gu Jue, and then nodded slightly: "Listen to your mother and concubine about the back house, she thinks those women are more accurate than you. You are right The concubine comes from a high family, and your concubine mother personally guarded it, so there is no mistake."
