Chapter 172: Abolition of the Later Form

After Chunjia left Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion that day, she returned to Xingxintang and was silent for a long time without dealing with government affairs.

Looking around worriedly, Yan Yin stepped forward and asked why carefully.

"I want to establish the king of Wu, but both the birth mother and adoptive mother of the king of Wu have enmity with the noble concubine." The emperor sighed, "In the day when I am alive, the king of Wu must not dare to do anything wrong. How will the king deal with it? Especially the noble concubine is my favorite, and the eldest daughter Zhaoqing is also my favorite. For the sake of the family and the country, King Wu's character and talent are all chosen by the East Palace; for personal reasons, the noble concubine serves me more than ten times Zai, the eldest son and eldest daughter are pure and filial, how can you part with them?"

This kind of thing is difficult for the emperor himself, who dares to give him advice?

Yan Yin didn't dare to say a word, turned his head, and the embarrassment of the emperor was conveyed to the king of Wu.

King Wu was silent for a long time after hearing the news, and said, "Father is taking an exam."

His close servant was terrified when he heard this: "This must have been done on purpose by the noble concubine, but how did the noble concubine know about it? Didn't your majesty tell you not to make it public first?"

"If the imperial concubine is really so easy to deceive, how could she have favored her for so many years?" King Wu said lightly, "But it is not her that I have to deal with, but the father. As long as the father has made up his mind, there is nothing the imperial concubine can do."

He pondered for a while, "There is actually no grudge between Gu himself and the imperial concubine. Even the things that were bullied by King Qin and Zhaoqing at the beginning can be attributed to the children's fights, and they have long been ignored! In the final analysis, It still lies in the enmity between the birth mother and adoptive mother and the imperial concubine, which is hard to eliminate."

The most important thing is that the imperial concubine would not believe that such grievances and entanglements can be resolved.

"This is not something that Gu can handle." King Wu only thought about it for a while, and then said, "To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell, and the birth mother is fine. Left and right Gu and the second brother have never met, and we can't talk about it." No matter how deep the relationship is, the main thing is the adoptive mother. Anyway, the mother is still there, so let the mother decide this matter. "

After Gu Zhen was abolished, because there was no specific status, it was not easy to call her mother queen, mother concubine or mother concubine, so King Wu called her mother.

The attendant was a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he said softly: "Your Highness, Madam Gu has always been honest and honest, I'm afraid she wouldn't handle such a thing?"

Gu Zhen's level of palace fighting and ability to figure out what he wants are really not reassuring.

King Wu said lightly: "She doesn't understand, so there are others who understand and are willing to teach her... The Gu family is in prison, and they are still alive."

"The imperial concubine will definitely not let them go. The King Chongxin they have placed high hopes on is impossible. Twelve younger brothers are young, so they don't have much hope now."

"They can only count on Gu."

The servant said in a low voice: "But if you pass through the prison, I'm afraid His Majesty will know about it?"

"Do you think there are many things in the former dynasty and the rear palace that the father doesn't know?" Wu Wang asked, "For example, you were actually cultivated by the Ji family, and you were specially placed here to raise orphans when you were young. I really think that the father is not clear?"

The words were so abrupt that the valet froze!

It took a long time before he knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Slaves..."

"It's nothing." Wu Wang looked at him sideways, his eyes were very calm, "Father doesn't care, and even these years, he deliberately ignored Gu and his second brother to attract your appearance. Gu doesn't care, no matter what you have No matter what the purpose is, after all, Gu will get certain benefits. As long as the person who presides over the situation is Gu, a descendant of the Gongxiang family, a little bit of calculation, a little bit of planning, no matter whether Gu or father, the emperor will not mind. The water is clear. Emperor Father understands the principle of no fish, and Gu also understands it very well."

"Second brother is surrounded by your people, right? It's just that Concubine Cui Shu is not like her mother. The many children under her knees distracted her attention. She focused on her second brother, and she dealt with it when she noticed some clues. She didn't give second brother any coveted position Opportunity."

King Wu sighed, "Father still had some regrets when he talked about this matter. He thought that if the second elder brother hadn't been raised under Concubine Cui Shu's knees, he might have achieved something. Then we can compare with Gu to see who is the most outstanding That? But because Concubine Cui Shu cared too much about her second brother, Gu won without a fight."

"What are you so afraid of?"

"You still don't know Father Emperor well enough. It's no wonder that a powerful family like the Ji family was wiped out overnight."

"Father's heart and city are even wider than you think."

"As the heir of my father alone, how can I be left far behind?"

"Actually, whether it's a biological mother or an adoptive mother, I don't care much about the grievances with the imperial concubine."

"Father can accommodate the empress dowager, why can't I accommodate the noble concubine?"

"As long as she doesn't create trouble for Gu in the future, let her be an honorable imperial concubine, even if she is an empress dowager, Gu can tolerate her."

"It's just that the noble concubine can't believe this kind of intention."

The imperial concubine couldn't believe it. Now that King Wu is not yet ready to be the master of the family, even if he sincerely thinks so, but people will always change. After a few years, Chunjia will be gone, and he will lose his grip. Who knows what to think and do?

At that time, the person he loves and cares about may just be on a whim, and they can make Xuanqing Palace come to a bad end.

It's like when Xiaozong was in power, even if Ji Sheng had a falling out with her husband, or even had a cold war, wasn't she still a golden empress?

But in Chunjia's hands, he didn't even keep the whole body.

The name behind him is even more messed up.

How could Chunjia not worry about other people's fifteenth when she was doing the first grade of junior high school?

What's more, the concubine is not as confused as Gu Zhen, this master has never been a kind person.

"The embarrassment of the father, unless it is instructed, will not be passed to the orphan at all." Wu Wang said again, "This is a test for the orphan, and it is also a warning to the orphan. The father is satisfied with everything. It is because I am afraid that Gu will be harsh on Xuanqing Palace in the future... that is to say, as long as Gu handles this matter well, no one will be able to compete for the position of the Eastern Palace."

He said calmly, "If not, with Father's love for the noble concubine, I'm afraid there will be twists and turns."

The servant was both happy and frightened: "But among the princes, who else can be better than you? The concubine herself can make your majesty happy, and the princes under her knees are also favored, but your majesty is wise and powerful, and Li Chu doesn't care about it." He loves the prince more, but it depends on which prince can take on the responsibility of the prince. The princes of Xuanqing Palace have been loved since childhood, and they are used to being protected by the concubine and His Majesty when they are in trouble. Compared with you?"

"But father is still in his prime, he can afford to wait." King Wu sighed leisurely, and said, "Mo Wanggu has more than a dozen younger brothers, and there will be more in the future. These younger brothers, not everyone They are all under the protection of the noble concubine, living a carefree life."

He didn't continue talking, but changed the subject, "Not long ago, the hairpin rewarded by the emperor, take the best one and send it to the mother of Leng Gong, and send the rest to Webster."

Although he knows that for Gu Zhen at this moment, the bright hairpin is not only useless, but also hurts her heart more, but King Wu doesn't care. This is a way to express that he has not forgotten his roots.

But it was all for Chunjia to see.

Of course Chunjia also knew what this son really thought, but equally, he didn't care.

He knew exactly how he came to power, if King Wu was a dignified gentleman, Chunjia would never consider appointing him as the heir apparent.

What the emperor wanted was an heir like King Wu who knew what he was supposed to do.

He prefers the children under the imperial concubine's lap, but those who are pure filial piety, sensible, well-behaved, lively, pure... There is no normal parent who does not love them when they are used to please their parents.

But what's the use of using it to check and balance temples, to suppress former courts and harems, to intrigue with the same group of old foxes, to help the community, to suppress foreign nations, etc.?

It is not easy to defeat the ancestors of the Xiagong Xiang family today, and it is not easy for him, the master of ZTE, who was adopted halfway to the main branch to turn the tide. He can't forcefully support his heirs knowing that his heirs are not capable enough, and wait for him to die. God knows when the time comes Who is cheaper?

The country was rejuvenated by him, but it was not brought down by him. He has no right to treat it as his own property and give it to his beloved concubines and children at will.

Chunjia feels that he is not a good person, and he doesn't care about doing something unconscionable, but he still has a bottom line.

His bottom line is that he is a descendant of the Gongxiang family.

The country of the Gongxiang family should be the most important.

Outside the country, it is his own favorite place.

Yun Fenghuang actually understood, and also admitted that if he was Chunjia, he might be more decisive than him.

But the problem is that she is not Chunjia, and she is still the one being compared, which is unbearable.

Ever since I asked the emperor tactfully on that day, the front and back palaces have been quiet for a few days. On this day, the palace city of the imperial capital sent a message, saying that it was abolished by the empress Gu's family and His Majesty. Qi Chunjia looked at it for the sake of the husband and wife. Allow her to speak one last time.

"The maidservants dare not be the masters, so I ask the imperial concubine to show me." The harem originally honored Gu Zhen, but after she was abolished, everything was naturally handed over to the imperial concubine.

Therefore, no one dared to convey this letter to the emperor without the concubine's consent.

Yun Fenghuang glanced at it, and found that the form was not sealed, which was clearly for her convenience, so she was not polite, motioned to check it left and right, and then opened it to browse.

Seeing this, she sneered slightly, and said, "King Wu is quick-witted."

Gu Zhen's confession is more of a confession than a confession.

Abandoning many emotional words recalling the past, the central idea is that she has done something wrong.

Some of them were really done by her, and some of them were forcibly grasped. In short, apart from the crime of seducing a foreigner to put a cuckold on the emperor, there are other crimes of murdering the emperor's heir, disrespecting the first emperor, and disrespecting the empress dowager. One counts one, all of them are recognized!

In the end, she said that a person like herself is not qualified to be a mother to the emperor's heirs, let alone the emperor's heirs are not her own.

Therefore, she asked the emperor for permission to break away from the imperial heirs, and the two have nothing to do with each other from now on. In addition, she also asked the emperor to make other arrangements for her children, so as not to be dragged down by her.

In fact, among the heirs of the empress, the youngest twelve princes are also eleven years old this year, and they have already lived in Qiongjiu Palace, so it is not necessary to find someone to take care of them.

But that's what Gu Zhen requested...

Yun Fenghuang's eyes flickered, and after a while he sneered, and threw the letter to the side: "Since she wants to report to His Majesty, she should report it to His Majesty."
