Chapter 229 Stay Behind

The Jiang family was also in a bit of a dilemma: "As a husband and wife, if you stay and perform filial piety on your behalf, no one can make a difference. But the crown prince...although you can use the excuse of filial piety to force him to stay, it's scary, His Majesty thinks this It is a rare opportunity to train the prince, and I will definitely take it with me."

Yun Fenghuang was also worried about this, and Chunjia was very satisfied with Gong Xiangbing. Frankly speaking, at his age, it was indeed time to teach his successors.

After all, a fifteen-year-old prince is too immature to support the family, let alone preside over such a big country?

Chunjia is quite powerful. She lived for eight years in Jianzuo at the age of 15, and only took office at the age of 23. After that, she did not immediately go to war, but calmly and little by little started to eliminate political enemies. In recent years, Just now, he let go of his hands and feet, and he was cleaning up the temple and considering cutting down the feudal clan.

In the early years, the emperor was very cautious.

There is no such big move.

Considering the lifespan of Chunjia's biological father and heir father, as long as Gong Xiangbing doesn't make mistakes, the emperor will never be indifferent to him.

"Either let the Empress Dowager personally ask to keep the prince here." Jiang said slowly, "Maybe this can convince His Majesty?"

"No." However, Yun Fenghuang, who knew Chunjia very well, shook his head and said, "Although the Empress Dowager and the Prince are related by blood, the Empress Dowager has never paid attention to the life and death of King Song and the Prince over the years. Even if the Empress Dowager personally stated that she still has some nostalgia for these two children, His Majesty is not happy to see the twin princes getting close to the Empress Dowager. Besides, Your Majesty also knows that I have no good intentions for the prince. If he leaves the palace and returns to the palace How can you rest assured if you don’t take the prince with you? If you do, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity for the prince to monopolize the emperor’s heart?”

Jiang said, "How about taking the other children back together?"

"How can those children beat the crown prince?" Yun Fenghuang sighed, "Fifteen is still a bit smart, but your majesty is a person who knows the importance. Before the crown prince is appointed, maybe he will observe a little bit. Now that the crown prince has been appointed , unless the other children show overwhelming intelligence and ability, otherwise he will say something nice and obedient, and the most important thing in his heart is the crown prince. If they suppress the prince too much on the fifteenth day, even if your majesty does not publicly reprimand him, he will make it up to the prince afterwards In the end, it was cheaper than that Gongxiang Bing!"

"But if you don't bring it up yourself, in the current situation, I'm afraid His Majesty will take the initiative to entrust you like this." Jiang was silent for a while, then sighed, "When the time comes, the result will be similar, and you still can't do this." Favor."

Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but remain silent.

She knew that Jiang's words were very reasonable. With the foundation laid by Chunjia since he ascended the throne, if the vassal king rebelled just because of cutting down the vassal, he would definitely be able to suppress it.

After all, with the rightful name of the Son of Heaven and the record of using troops against Wei He over the years, the feudal lords can't make any waves.

But the existence of Shenzong's will is different.

It's fine if it's fake, but even the Empress Dowager admits it, it's true.

That being the case, Chunjia's original biggest advantage, orthodox status, has been questioned, and now that he has lost the first battle, he can no longer be ignored.

The Qishan Palace was originally only used as a summer escape, and it was not as comprehensive as the palace in all aspects.

Not to mention that it was time to go back to the Imperial Capital, even if Chunjia hadn't arrived, Chunjia would definitely leave in these two days to go to Miyagi in person to preside over the overall situation.

And the empress dowager will definitely not be able to leave. At that time, for the sake of Emperor Zhouquan's filial piety and the control of the situation, if she, the empress, does not stay, who will stay?

But for the prince, Chunjia will definitely take him by his side and teach by precept and example.

"...If it's not possible, let the Crown Princess stay to fulfill her filial piety." Yun Fenghuang said after a moment of silence, "Let side concubine Meng serve with the Crown Prince."

"The concubine is not capable." Jiang frowned, "Even if she hates concubine Meng because of this, but concubine Meng is a noble girl, I'm afraid she can't handle it. Especially the prince's feelings for the concubine are just like that. I don't think this princess can make any trouble."

Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "The Crown Princess can't do it, but the Webster behind the Crown Princess must be favored by His Majesty. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have specially chosen their daughter as the concubine for the Crown Prince. Let's see if Webster has any What's the matter?"

After saying this thoughtfully, he ordered Chen Jing, "Go and check, what did Wei Changkong do in the past two years?"

After Wei Changkong left as the regent, he accepted Chunjia's solicitation. At first he was in charge of teaching the heirs of the emperor, and then he was observed for several years. His performance in the middle was recognized by the emperor, and he went to the court to watch affairs.

But I don't know if he learned a lesson during Xiaozong's reign, and he has never had a sense of existence.

Ordinarily, with his qualifications and scientific examination results, after entering the court, there was no one who did not cause trouble, but even Yun Fenghuang didn't think of him very much.

At this moment, Chen Jing went to find out and came back to report that this person had done nothing all these years, but he was only a deputy and a supplement, and he had never been alone.

It seemed that the emperor didn't trust him very much, but after careful analysis, Yun Fenghuang shook his head: "He has almost turned all the six parts over the past few years, and His Majesty is deliberately cultivating him."

After a pause, "After Yin Qu went down, it was the head of the Meng family who was the most important one. In the future, Wei Changkong might also have a place in the position of prime minister."

"There is bound to be a place for him." Jiang reminded, "It is difficult to be in charge today. Back then, in order to target Ji, regent, Cui, Zheng, etc., we had to try every means to win over the Yin family, so these years, Not only have the daughters of these families been added to the high positions in the palace, but in the court, the important ministers who assist the government, from Ouyang Yanran, to Yin Qu, and now the head of the Meng family, who are not from high-ranking families? But the emperor took office the next year Just open Enke and accept the children of poor families, you can see his heart!"

The emperor was determined not to be happy to see aristocratic families last forever. After all, the strength and existence of these famous families was a threat to the imperial power.

It's just that Chunjia had to compromise in her early years because she was not born in the main branch.

But the compromise to the Patriarch of the Meng family is probably about the same.

If King Mao hadn't come out, after a few years, the head of the Meng family would step down, and he might be replaced by Wei Changkong, a representative of the imperial examination.

Next, the emperor will also use a large number of children from poor families to weaken the power and status of the noble families.

In this case, as long as Wei Changkong is up to the challenge and the rest of Wei's are worse off, the emperor will not give up.

Even Webster's other people are not so useful, the emperor can rest assured.

Therefore, Wei Xiyan's position as the Crown Princess seems to be in jeopardy, but the whole chance of Wei Xiyan becoming a relative of the state is quite solid.

If Wei Xiyan fails, she can be replaced. It's not like there are no other daughters around Wei Xiyan.

"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, and then said, "That is to say, if the prince cannot be dealt with in the past few years, it will only be more difficult when Wei Changkong takes over."

Not even a chance at all.

The prince was always alert and calm, so he was not easy to catch.

Besides, Wei Changkong is an in-law, with established foundation and full-fledged wings, even if the emperor wants to abandon him, he may be opposed by all the officials, let alone the empress Yunfenghuang?

"It's best to take advantage of the hustle and bustle at this moment." Jiang sighed, "You have been in the palace for many years, and there are no arrangements for the East Palace?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Yes, there is, but you can't hide it from His Majesty's eyes and ears, how can you move lightly?"

She frowned, "The eyes are so close, even if the prince has something, I'm afraid His Majesty will not touch him. After all, King Mao is still making trouble, and His Majesty will strive for stability for the sake of stability of people's hearts."

Not only the prince, but also her queen.

At this time, Chunjia cannot spread any bad news.

Even if it really happened, it must have tried every means to cover it up, and it will never be spread out.

The mother and daughter discussed for a while, but there was no good countermeasure, and the mood was heavy.

But in the evening of this day, after Jiang's family left the palace, Chunjia suddenly declined many government affairs and came to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion.

When Yun Fenghuang heard the report, he felt a "thud" in his heart, and he was welcomed into the room and sat down, after a few gossips, the emperor brought up the matter of returning to the palace.

Although he didn't say it clearly, what he said was that he hoped that he would go back alone to preside over the overall situation and let the queen stay in Xinggong town.

"This concubine is only discussing this matter with my mother today." Yun Fenghuang felt great hatred in his heart, but he said with a reasonable face, "Your Majesty can't come today, and this concubine will go to you tomorrow to report this matter." Yes, the thieves are rampant, Your Majesty still has to go to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible to sit in charge, as for the imperial grandmother, let the concubine perform filial piety on your behalf."

He also seemed to inadvertently say, "The crown prince must have gone with you, but the crown prince and side concubine Meng like it very much, how about letting them stay and accompany the concubine for a while?"

She discussed with the Jiang family, leaving a single princess. Although Wei Xiyan and Meng Posuo were split, Wei Xiyan's methods may not be as good as Meng Posuo's. Not a good thing either.

So it's better to detain both of them, let Xie Mengmeng do the tossing, and let the concubines sent by Yunfenghuang take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation, in case they give birth to the son of the East Palace before the main concubine, it's also very good .

Anyway, if it can add trouble to the Eastern Palace, the Central Palace must do it!

Of course Chunjia also knew what the queen was thinking, but although he valued the prince, he didn't care about the prince's side concubine's mood.

The emperor didn't hesitate to exchange the concubine and the side concubine for the empress's generosity: "They are our daughters-in-law, so naturally they should be dealt with by you."

Only then did Yun Fenghuang smile, and said: "I still have something to ask, my brothers and nephews are mostly withered, now there is only one nephew, Li Er, who wants to take my biological mother to take care of me. The concubine has already agreed to him, when His Majesty returns to the imperial capital, can I take the concubine's biological mother along?"

She couldn't go back by herself, and she was worried about the prince, so she could only entrust her to her mother.

Due to Jiang's status, it is definitely not as convenient as her own, but it is better to be quick-witted, and it is good to get along with Zhaoqing and the others these days.

At critical times, you can also contribute one or two.

It is more reliable than the children of Zhaoqing.
