Chapter 62 Past Events
"Since Mrs. Chun Ke is ready, can you arrange the list of bed attendants?" Empress Ji finished a few palace affairs, looked at Yun Fenghuang, who was next to her, who was making calculations and reconciling accounts, and said, rubbing her wrists, " You were summoned to the Spring Palace by the loving mother Empress Dowager just now, can you tell me about this?"
Yun Fenghuang didn't raise his head, and said in his mouth: "The loving mother, the empress dowager, is worried that her good niece will have another moth, how could she want so much? But she just blindly appeases the concubine, so don't bear grudges against Mrs. Shang Chunke."
Empress Ji chuckled and said, "The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is a good aunt."
The implication is that although the Empress Dowager Yuan feels sorry for Yuan Niangniang, she is not very fair to other people.
"Otherwise, how could the concubine join hands with the empress." Yun Fenghuang sneered, and his subordinates circled a problematic place on the ledger in front of him. The queen mother has nothing to do, and the male heir can be made up by your majesty. Isn't she the wife of Chunke for the daughter's sake? No matter how ignorant or unreasonable that person is, in the eyes of the loving mother, the queen mother is justifiable. So even if she lost His Majesty's patience and pity, in the eyes of the loving mother Empress Dowager, now she is a concubine favored by His Majesty, after all, she looks disgusting!"
"I don't want to be charged with this crime, so I have no choice but to ask my loving mother, the Empress Dowager, to concentrate on taking care of the rest of my life as soon as possible, instead of doing nothing and causing trouble for me!"
Empress Ji picked up the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? When Grandmother and Empress Ji didn't come back, it's fine for her to treat you like this. Is it still the same attitude these two days? It doesn't look like Empress Yuan's behavior."
Yun Fenghuang sneered: "Why do you want to say such things on purpose? Who would not be able to act on occasion, but I am not a fool, so I don't know what the empress dowager thinks? I just think that I am quite capable. Now her None of the nieces can stand up, and the daughter of the Luo family, Ouyang, who is valued, has been suppressed one after another, so she has to rely more on concubines. When His Majesty has won a big victory in the previous court, there is no need for concubines in the harem. At that time, it will be logical to turn your face... Is this concubine the kind of person who sits and waits to die?"
"Then what are you going to do?" Empress Ji asked with great interest.
Although the two parties joined forces to deal with the Empress Dowager Yuan, since the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji returned to the palace, there has been no serious discussion of this topic.
Now that Yun Fenghuang was complaining, the queen couldn't help asking her what she thought.
After all, as an ally, she and Yun Fenghuang think the same thing, they both hope that the loving mother empress dowager will go to hell as soon as possible, and both hope that the crime of murdering the loving mother empress dowager will be borne by the other party...
"I heard that His Majesty's grandmother, Concubine Fuyang Zhuang, died shortly after the death of His Majesty's biological father, King Fuyang Duan?" Yun Fenghuang looked at her, "Your Majesty thinks this is too coincidental Are you tired?"
Empress Ji said: "The concubine of Fuyang Zhuang was widowed in her youth and lost her son in her middle age. It is reasonable and reasonable for her to follow her only son in grief."
Yun Fenghuang said: "But there was Your Majesty at that time. Your Majesty was still young. Although he was born as a concubine, he was able to be canonized as a son under the planning of his loving mother, the Empress Dowager. How could the Fuyang Zhuang Concubine have the heart to abandon her orphans and widowed mothers? Follow Fuyang Duanwang? It must be known that the Fuyang King has been passed down for several generations. Didn't His Majesty need the support of his own grandmother at that time?"
"I'm afraid you don't know that the concubine of Fuyang Zhuang respects her concubines very much, but she doesn't like her majesty very much..." Empress Ji said casually, but stopped in the middle of her words, her eyes flickered, and she said slowly, "You're right, no matter how much Fuyang Zhuang Concubine respects her concubine, Fuyang Duan Wang has been ill for a long time, and his Majesty has such a little flesh and blood under his knees, how can a grandmother not feel distressed or take it seriously?"
"Even if the only son dies and the white-haired man sends the black-haired man away, it's a big blow, but you have to hold your breath and raise your majesty to grow up, so that you can close your eyes at ease."
"It's not a secret that Concubine Fuyangzhuang didn't like the fact that she was the empress dowager, the loving mother of Concubine Fuyang at that time."
"How can she rest assured that she will hand over the Fuyang Palace, together with the young His Majesty, to the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and leave by herself?"
Empress Ji said this in one breath, and frowned slightly, "It's just...not to mention that His Majesty was young at that time, even if there was any inside story in the palace, His Majesty was probably ignorant and didn't know anything. All these years have passed , time has passed, where can we find evidence? It is said that although His Majesty is the blood of the concubine of Fuyang Zhuang, he has not gotten along with this concubine very much, but he has a deep love for the empress dowager, the loving mother, mother and son..."
Therefore, even if this suspicion is raised, even if there is some evidence, whether Chunjia will admit it is still a question.
"There is no impenetrable wall in the world." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "And the country is governed by filial piety. If such things are leaked, for the sake of the reputation of the Tian family, the clan members will stand up and demand a thorough investigation. Yes. Madam, tell me, is this the truth?"
Empress Ji pursed her lips, and quickly analyzed the pros and cons: based on the relationship between Empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia, and the importance of her identity and position as empress dowager to Chunjia, conventional methods of attack will not work at all, because Chunjia I will spare no effort to protect this queen mother.
Moreover, Empress Dowager Yuan herself is alert, so she is not so good at scratching her feet.
If it is revealed, once it is exposed, not to mention Ji's power in the previous court, none of the people in the harem, the empress dowager or below, will be able to escape Chunjia's revenge—not to mention the empress dowager Yuan who has been in the spring palace all these years. It's not for nothing.
Ji's hands are not that long.
Therefore, it is indeed a good way to start with the death of Concubine Fuyang Zhuang if you want to kill this loving mother empress dowager quickly.
This is Empress Dowager Yuan's mother-in-law and also Chunjia's biological grandmother.
Even if Chunjia had been adopted by Emperor Xiaozong, she could no longer call Concubine Fuyang Zhuang her grandmother...but that's where the blood relationship is, and where the generational gap is.
Once the matter becomes serious, once the Empress Dowager Yuan commits to murder her mother-in-law, Chunjia will protect her, and at most save her life. Don’t think about the empress dowager, how can people in the world accept a woman who murdered her mother-in-law and sits on the phoenix seat ? It is not even possible to live in the palace for a long time.
At that time, even if Chunjia takes care of him...it won't matter.
There is no doubt that the idea proposed by Yun Fenghuang is beneficial to Ji.
The problem is, this operation can only be done by Ji.
After all, Yun Fenghuang is definitely not capable of such a thing, and everyone who "leaked" this suspicion knows it, arousing public opinion all over the world, and forcing Chunjia to be unable to calm down.
"Even if it is revealed afterwards that it was Concubine Xian who mentioned it, I'm afraid no one will believe it. After all, Concubine Xian comes from a humble background and is young. Who would believe that she would propose such a vicious plan?" Empress Ji analyzed, "And she Right now, I'm arguing with my loving mother, the Empress Dowager..."
If Mrs. Ji revealed the truth, with the character of this concubine, she would probably drag Chunjia to cry with Queen Mother Yuan and beat her up, saying that Mrs. Ji deliberately sowed discord.
And based on the degree of rift between Chunjia's mother and son and the Ji family, do they believe in Yun Fenghuang, or in Ji's family?
The queen sighed in her heart, the method is a good method, as long as the general trend is guided, the truth is not important, and the Queen Mother Yuan will undoubtedly lose.
However, it is almost impossible to frame Xianfei...
No wonder Yun Fenghuang said it so readily.
She gathered herself together and said calmly: "Your Majesty and Empress Yuan rely heavily on you now. If your Majesty orders you to do something for Empress Yuan when there is a lot of discussion in the world, what should you do?"
"My concubine's ability is shallow, so I'm naturally helpless." Yun Fenghuang said without hesitation, "After all, when the concubine of Fuyang Zhuang passed away, my concubine was not born at all. What can I do with this kind of old sesame seed and rotten millet? ?”
Empress Ji snorted and said, "Really? I thought that you would seize this opportunity to show Your Majesty a hand, so that you could take this opportunity to pick up this lady."
——It is true that Yun Fenghuang is a person, and he must hold a grudge against the suppression and rejection of Queen Mother Yuan in the past few months.
But the queen will never forget that during the Concubine Concubine Ceremony, Concubine Xian looked up at her ambition and determination to win when she was crowned with a phoenix crown.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang urged the Ji family to make a move and forced the Queen Mother Yuan to a dead end, and at the same time stepped forward to be the life-saving benefactor of the Queen Mother Yuan. At the critical moment, he came back and stepped on the Ji family's three generations of phoenix masters to take the throne. possible.
After all, in that case, even if Empress Dowager Yuan can still keep her position and stay in the palace, how can she have the face to target her?
"Your Majesty is thinking too much." Facing the queen's straightforward doubts, Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly and said, "With my background, I don't have the confidence to deal with the Luo family, so no matter how much I am in the middle palace Xiao Xiang, right now, he is the one who most wants the empress to sit here."
Empress Ji didn't believe it: "Since entering the palace, when have Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fulu been able to please you? Now they are both relegated to the rank of nine concubines... Do you fear them?"
Yun Fenghuang said softly: "Of course the concubine is not afraid of Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fulu, but... my empress, don't forget that the reason why the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, hired them into the palace for His Majesty is because she is not angry with the concubines in the palace. , it's all made by the Ji family, she can't get involved, she just needs His Majesty's approval to win over her father's family!"
She said quietly, "After all, Ji's family is not the only one who suffers from His Majesty's confidantes!"
The emperor's primary goal at present is of course to kill the Ji family.
After all, not to mention the power of the Ji family, its power in the harem is also deeply ingrained.
It can be said that if this family does not fall for a day, it is difficult for the emperor to sleep peacefully.
But after Ji's settlement, Chunjia couldn't sit back and relax because there was still a regent waiting to fight with him in the clan's internal strife.
This is still under the premise of ignoring the thoughts and choices of important ministers such as the Zheng family and the Cui family.
At that time, the importance of the famous families like the Luo family and the Ouyang family is self-evident.
Yun Fenghuang didn't want to use this kind of overall situation to test Chunjia's love for her—she didn't want Fengzuo to be replaced until Xie's wings were full enough to support her ascending to the second place.
This is the same as she would rather go to Mianfu Palace to pay her respects than to go to Chunwan Palace to pay her respects.
At any rate, Empress Ji has been rejected and guarded by Chunjia from the very beginning. Not to mention that this empress has limited restraint on her, she even has to put down her figure to compromise with her in many cases. Yun Fenghuang snatched the Phoenix position from her, even if Chunjia did not support her clearly, she would not object; if it was changed to a high position like Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fulu, even if she was not loved by Chunjia, he would come first Chaoyou's father and brother have added luster to him, and there is nothing Chunjia himself hates.
Yun Fenghuang planned to overthrow their own superiors... Chunjia would most likely block it.
And even if she succeeds in the end, Chunjia will feel guilty towards these two.
In case there is a talent in the Luo family and the Ouyang family, maybe they can continue to turn around with this, and give Yun Fenghuang a hard time?
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang emphasized: "Although I have many ideas, at least for now, I only support the empress, and have no other intentions! I also ask the empress not to do things that make relatives hurt enemies!"
The queen raised her eyebrows: "I don't understand what Concubine Xian said?"
You have taken so many benefits from the Ji family, so far you have only talked about it on paper, and you have never fulfilled a promise. How can you have the face to say such a thing? ? ?
"Really?" Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Before I received news that Qi's son was murdered, his life was in danger, and he was being sent to the Imperial Capital for medical treatment... I thought this was what the empress wanted. Beat my concubine?"
