Chapter 138 Desperate
Because of the discussion between the emperor and the regent in the temple, the matter of the regent's youngest son being weak and sick was brought up again, and most people felt a little bit sorry for the fate of the regent.
There are only two sons in total. Although the eldest son is healthy, even though he is so old, he has not spread any reputation for being capable, nor has he done any outstanding things. It can be seen that his qualifications are mostly mediocre, and there is nothing to look forward to; this youngest son has been raised in the future. Few people have seen or understood him, but after all, he studied under Wei Liushou. As the saying goes, a famous teacher produces a good student, and the future can be expected.
In the end, he was a sick child who couldn't even get out of the family. Even being taken by the emperor's cousin to sacrifice to the emperor had to be discussed repeatedly... In this situation, even if he is a man of the world, he might not be able to grow up?
Mrs. Ji was still wondering if Chunjia suddenly didn't have to urge to take the initiative to end the matter of sacrificing Xiaozong that she said before the summer vacation. Did she have any plans? The fact that the regent has no successor is very exciting, and almost everyone in the imperial capital knows about it.
Of course the regent was very angry when he found out. After all, he was already at this age. It would be fine if he was simply assisting Chunjia. If he still wanted to seek the throne, heirs would be very important.
Now that the two sons are not favored by the outside world, even if the subordinates were loyal before, the lord is already at the end of his prime, and will start to age in a few years.
Two young masters, one is older but mediocre and has no great reputation; the other may be outstanding but may not be outstanding but may not live long... How can they raise their spirits to devote themselves to death?
At this time, Ji arranged for someone to tell the people around him that Chunjia must have done it on purpose.
He felt that his position had been stabilized now, and he didn't need so much for the regent, so he thought about controlling this uncle in turn——Chunjia's biggest advantage over the regent was that he was young and powerful, so even if the princes under his knees were young If you are young, if you don't see the virtuous and stupid, the people below will not be disappointed.
Anyway, the emperor is young, even if none of the current four princes is capable, there will definitely be more princes in the future.
And if there is no accident, Chunjia has enough time to wait for them to grow up.
Those who bet on him don't need to worry so much about the possibility that they will be lost after he goes.
With such a reality in front of him, even if the regent was aware of Ji's handwriting, he was still very angry, and said a lot of dissatisfaction with Chunjia in private.
"But it's just dissatisfaction." Ji Mansion, Study Room, Haixihou's son Ji Mingban sighed in disappointment, and said, "The regent and Chunjia are not foolish people, otherwise they wouldn't have pushed our family to this point .Even though they are on guard against each other, they are intriguing with each other, but if our family survives, the uncle and nephew will not really tear each other apart."
"Then force them to tear themselves apart." His concubine brother said calmly, "Isn't that little bastard from the Prince Regent's family in poor health and doesn't go out easily, did he go to the Taimiao because of Chunjia's repeated request? If the regent doesn’t say anything about his death, how can the regent and his concubine let it go? And this also proves that these few children of the Gongxiang family are not protected by the former emperors of the country.”
"It's time to ask the Empress Dowager to come forward, preside over the overall situation, and re-elect the real dragon!"
Ji Mingban frowned: "Chunjia is very suspicious of us now. If we go to the Taimiao, how can we not do a good job of guarding? The young son of the Regent never appears in front of people like a sweetheart. So far, we don't even know what people look like." Clear. Chunjia is always cunning, if a double is there waiting to catch us, isn't that a reason to send him to our door to pre-empt the attack?"
If they would not have guessed Chunjia this way before, after Chao Shi retaliated against Ji Shi in front of the civil and military court of the Manchu Dynasty, they originally thought that the young emperor's ability to govern himself was nothing more than the ability to endure first, and the second was the help of the regent. It may not be so powerful, but I have to start to face Chunjia again.
After all, it is too miserable for Chao's to make Ji's pit.
The Ji family is one of the three nobles, and the Marquis of Minyang is immediately cold, and he is still the kind with his wife and children.
This family has been prominent for three dynasties, and of course it is not for nothing. No matter how annoyed they are, they will not continue to despise Chunjia's scheming city.
At this moment, Ji Ming's class was very cautious, "Even Chunjia had been procrastinating and refusing to do this before, and now she just agreed to come back from the palace, maybe she just got the wind and wanted to act first...Maybe during the process of sacrificing to the Taimiao , if we don't do anything, he can make an assassin or something and plant it on our heads. Wasn't Chao Shi's assassination just an example?"
"Then we can't just do nothing? Don't we just watch this foolish gentleman trample our house to the bottom of the mud?!"
"He is the king, and we are the ministers. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die. With such intrigue, we can still suppress someone as ambitious and talented as Xiaozong. But Chunjia's 15th Jianzuo can bear it for eight years, which shows that xinxing." Ji Mingban said slowly, "I'll be honest, we can't suppress this emperor now, unless we rebel. But although our family still has momentum in the ruling and opposition parties, it may not be to the point where we can change the dynasty. .”
The main Gongxiang family has never had a famous faint king or tyrant so far, and they are mediocre at best.
The public's goodwill towards them has not been completely lost. In addition to the decline of imperial power in recent years, the giants have been fighting fiercely in the temple. Under mutual checks and balances, although there are some places where the fish and meat are horrific, such as the three states that caused chaos, but For the most part, life is getting by.
Under such circumstances, if you want to kill the Gongxiang family and replace them, I'm afraid it will be cheaper for the vassal kings of the Gongxiang family.
Therefore, Ji Mingban thinks that it is a plan for the present: "If you don't do anything, Chunjia has already disliked our Ji family, and there is even more hatred between the regent and us. These two people will be together for a day. There is no possibility of peace for the Ji family. Since the dynasty cannot be changed, then change the day and establish a new monarch!"
"The assassination of the Prince Regent's youngest son is a roundabout way, and it is easy to fall into Chunjia's trap."
"If the mountain collapses directly, one of the second and third princes will be chosen to ascend the throne, even if the regent is still there, the overall situation will be settled!"
"If not, let's continue fighting like this. Chunjia has a righteous reputation and is also clever and cunning, so his position will only become more and more stable. Don't forget that he already has four children under his knees, and there are concubines who are pregnant in the palace."
"Even if the two generations of Gongxiang's heirs are weak, when these princes grow up...slowly talk about the temple, the world is so big, how can there be a place for our family?!"
"It's better to put all your eggs in one basket than to sit and wait!"
"But Zheng Gu's old slave is for Chunjia." Some of his brothers reminded him with a frown, "Chunjia is the son of the princess wife Zheng Gu... How could Zheng Gu cooperate with us? The eyes and ears of the city secretary, if we can do it, will we wait until today?"
For a moment, everyone in the study looked at Ji Mingban.
... Miyagi, Xuanqing Palace, Yun Fenghuang smiled and watched Xie Lan and other sisters who had not left the pavilion get up and go to the back hall to "appreciate the flowers". Put it away in an instant: "Sister Sixteen's marriage to Na Luo Xun was opened by His Majesty, and this palace cannot refuse, so it can only be decided like this."
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Luoshi nodded and said: "If there is no empress, how can my sixteenth sister marry the imperial guard? Or let your majesty personally talk about the matchmaker's imperial guard? This marriage is already a high priority in our family. Madam, please rest assured, sixteenth sister I am also willing."
"That's good." Yun Fenghuang pondered, "The population of the Luo family is simple, and Luo Xun's grandmother and mother both hope that he will get married as soon as possible. Therefore, I plan to discuss with them to see if there will be a good day at the end of the year."
This is too fast... It is not a few months until the end of the year.
Mrs. Xie had arranged for Xie Lan and the others to come here before. Although she had planned to let them get married, she never thought that the wedding would be held so soon.
I'm afraid it's because they can't even arrange a decent dowry?
Little Luoshi hesitated a little: "The family is busy with Shangzhu's affairs now. After Her Royal Highness descends, it will be almost the end of the year. This..."
"You don't have to worry about the dowry. I will let her arrange it for her. Anyway, the Luo family has fallen, so there is no need to choose those rare ones. It is serious to give more money to Sixteenth Sister." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said. , "Those rare things, after Luo Xun has made great achievements, let him earn them for Sixteenth Sister."
Xiao Luoshi suspected that there was an inside story, but Yunfenghuang didn't mean to say, so she didn't ask, after all, she was not Xiaochen, she was Yunfenghuang's direct sister-in-law, she was just a cousin, she was separated from Yunfenghuang before One room, not much contact and no familiarity at all.
At this moment, facing the noble cousin, of course he is more sensible.
Hearing this, Xie Xie quickly thanked Lan and said, "It's also because we are incompetent, and we are just dragging down the empress."
Yun Fenghuang casually said something to her, probably she would not be where she is today if there is no family cultivation.
Then he said: "Sister Sixteen has always been in good health, but after all, she has just traveled thousands of miles. These days, she has been busy with the affairs of Brother Twenty-one, and then she will leave the cabinet by herself, so don't be tired. Let's go Tomorrow, I will ask the imperial physician to get a pulse for Sister Sixteen and you all. It’s best to be fine, if something happens, it’s better to take care of it as soon as possible, rather than procrastinate.”
With a low voice, "The other things in Luo Xun's family are good, but there are not many children. Although our family is prosperous, who can say this kind of thing? Don't you think that the family of the loving mother Empress Dowager also has many children?"
But Queen Mother Yuan married King Duan of Fuyang, she never even had a miscarriage, never got pregnant.
It is impossible for Xiao Luo to object to this matter due to emotion and reason, and thanked Lan again, saying that Xie does not know what kind of blessing can have a daughter like your empress, and sister Shiliu is also lucky to have a sister like you.
Yun Fenghuang calmly listened to her praise herself in different ways, and only asked about their recent situation when it was over.
The Xie family has been busy and fulfilled during this time, mainly because they are busy with Xie Wuzheng Shangzhu's affairs, and the enrichment is of course because the hope of their family's rise is in front of them, and they are full of energy in everything they do.
Even a few younger disciples were a little bit adrift. Fortunately, Xie Heng and the others were still sober, and found something wrong in time to wake them up, and no major mistakes were made.
Xiao Luoshi told Yun Fenghuang about this in a secretive way, emphasizing again and again that those children were a little arrogant in their words and actions at home, but they were always very obedient outside: "Now my husband and your uncles stare at them. Keep an eye on it...and after a lesson, I know how to measure it, so it's very appropriate to go in and out now."
This is all expected trouble, Yun Fenghuang listened patiently, asked some details, deliberated that she should not have said anything false, so she gently exposed it, and asked about the situation in the Northland, especially It's the Jiang family.
"...Fourth aunt heard that she was a little ill a few days ago, and now her life should be fine." It was even more embarrassing to mention Jiang's and Xiao Luo's, because Jiang's claim of illness was purely out of anger from the clan. It's hard to say whether it's real or fake, but in front of his own daughter, it's hard to say, "There's news from home that Fourth Aunt should be free to visit you at the end of the year."
