Chapter 102: On the Focus of the Conflict Between Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law

King Qin, as Chunjia's eldest son, was also the first surviving child. He was born in the spring of Chunjia's eighth year.

Today is Chunjia's tenth year, and she is already three years old.

Although there are still three years before the six-year-old enlightenment, people who usually value culture and education have to find this teacher.

Yun Fenghuang has been fighting this and that for the past two years, but she forgot about this matter. Now that Chunjia mentioned it, she was slightly awe-inspiring, and said seriously: "What your majesty said is very true, but I don't know that your majesty intends to invite the King of Qin. Where is the famous teacher?"

She is very concerned about this issue. After all, it not only directly reflects how much the emperor loves the eldest son of the emperor, but also directly determines the future capital of King Qin.

And Qin Wang's capital, in a sense, is also her help.

... Well, her help, of course, is not necessarily the help of King Qin.

"There are a lot of great talents in the temple. If you just pull one out, it is more than enough to enlighten a child." Chunjia pondered, "It's just... the youngest son born in the regent's step-room, the enlightenment is even Wei Changkong. Randomly looking for a subject to teach, wouldn't it show that I don't care about my own flesh and blood?"

Yun Fenghuang was frowning slightly after hearing the first half of what he said, worried that he would use this excuse to send a teacher to the King of Qin, and then invite a famous teacher after the son-in-law under Gu Zhen's name grows up. Didn't the gap between the princes just widen?

After listening to it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and seconded, "Your Majesty's words are very true. It is said that the youngest son of the Regent Prince is still a delicate and weak master. It is all up to Wei Liushou to teach him by example. Your Majesty's princes, how can you tell me?" You can’t compare them! It’s just that there aren’t many junior middle school students who are better than Wei Liushou in terms of talent and learning?”

In fact, when it comes to learning in the Eight Classics, there has been no second since ancient times, and Wei Changkong is not the best. After all, there are still a few great Confucian scholars who are recognized as talented and knowledgeable in the country.

For some of these people, Wei Changkong had to follow the etiquette of the younger generation and be respectful even in person.

The problem is, Wei Changkong's ranking in the scientific examination is too good.

Six poems that are rare throughout the ages.

This is where those great Confucians are inferior to him, and it is impossible to catch up with him.

As Chunjia said, a child who is only six years old can be taught by any one in the court. In fact, it is not necessary to use such a top-notch talent, but the Tian family needs face.

A dignified prince, if the teacher of Enlightenment is not well-known, how can he make it through?

Even Yun Fenghuang himself would never agree. The emperor can find ordinary courtiers as teachers for the other princes, but her children, from the king of Qin to the seventh prince, have to get a well-recognized boss in the country to act as a front.

Otherwise, wouldn't her reputation as Concubine Min's favorite be questioned?

"I'm also thinking about this issue. Cui Wan can still get by, but he has a lot of responsibilities now, so I'm afraid he has no time to take care of it." Chunjia said, "I'm thinking about recruiting a few people."

He casually mentioned the names of a few great Confucians, and said that he planned to send people there to preach the decree in the near future, but those people all retired from office during Xiaozong's time, and Xiaozong failed to persuade him to stay.

"Your Majesty's dragon and phoenix appearance is heroic and powerful, and he has the appearance of a wise monarch. If those people are not blind, they shouldn't refuse to serve His Majesty." Yun Fenghuang said, "If they refuse, they are probably just trying to gain fame. Seniors, I am used to pretending to be fake, I am afraid that after entering the official position, it will be found that the name is not worthy of the name, so I feel guilty!"

Chunjia couldn't help laughing, and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions. If he is really indifferent and doesn't like the chasing of the temple, I can't tolerate it... Ah Huang shouldn't be so aggressive."

Yun Fenghuang resented him for being difficult to serve: "It's like this every time, I am wholeheartedly for you, but you are better off, turning your elbows outward!"

"It's my fault." Chunjia admitted his mistake with a smile, and then said, "It's just that these people are generally a little older, so they are inevitably a bit old-fashioned. If they are teachers of princes, they don't know if the lectures will be too profound, making the princes In the fog, don't you want to listen?"

He has suffered this kind of loss himself. When he first came to the throne, the Ji family used the banner of the two elders of the direct line, the Empress Dowager and the then mother Empress Dowager, to say that the new monarch is young and not enough to entrust the affairs of the country, and he needs to learn to be The way of the king is.

After that, he was given a group of old pedants who were stupid in reading and studying. They insisted on their words, and it was not wrong to say that they were not knowledgeable, but when it came to practice, they were completely messed up.

The purpose of the Ji family is to let these people lead Chunjia astray, so that even if they are in charge, it will be difficult for them to take a single step. At that time, they will naturally have a chance, and they will have the reality of being a regent without the name of regent.

It was also Chunjia's intention to be raised by the Queen Mother Yuan before. Outside of schoolwork, there are many people who personally visit people in white dragon fish suits-Minsheng. They are definitely not ordinary dandy clansmen who grew up in the hands of women and don't know anything about the outside world.

Coupled with Queen Mother Yuan's point, it didn't make Ji's conspiracy come true.

So even though those "emperor teachers" are still alive today, Chunjia never considered letting them continue to teach her children.

Now that I plan to enlist great Confucians, I can't help worrying that these well-known masters will be like those old sour Confucians, a nerd who only knows how to read. Don't give him good princes at that time. Nerd, this is not what the emperor wants to see.

"Actually..." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and then said, "I have always been very curious about how the regent's young son is treated like gold and jade. Counting how many years I have been in the palace, I haven't seen it once. Have you seen it? If you say that you are not strong enough, you are not the kind of unreasonable person. But since Wei Changkong was hired as a teacher, he taught him for three years. During festivals, he even entered the palace to be invited by the Empress Dowager and His Majesty. Can't even An An do it?"

In fact, she had been suspicious of this matter for a long time, but there were many things and she never brought it up.

Now that the words are rushing to the point, he can't help but say, "Why don't your majesty find a reason to let him have an audience?"

Chunjia smiled and said: "I am also puzzled, but Uncle Wang doesn't like me to intervene in his family affairs. Uncle Wang was already very displeased because of the Marquis of Shouning earlier. That time the Empress Dowager came forward, Uncle Wang reluctantly tolerated it." Come down...but the Empress Dowager never mentions that cousin, so I don't want to make trouble."

Yun Fenghuang glanced at him suspiciously, she felt that it was impossible for the emperor to really know nothing.

Chunjia's personality, if she really didn't know, she would probably try her best to find out.

How could it be possible to remain indifferent for fear of offending the regent?

He said it as if he hadn't provoked the regent before...

Turning her mind, she suddenly said: "Your Majesty, what a great talent Wei Changkong is, it would be too much to spend his time teaching the youngest son of the Prince Regent. If Your Majesty does not have a more suitable candidate to be the prince's teacher, why not... ask Would he be willing to teach the princes along the way? After all, the youngest son of the prince regent and the princes are cousins ​​and nephews, and they are both from the same family. Sharing a Western seat is also good for their brotherhood. Presumably the prince regent will not refuse? "

The regent will definitely refuse, but if the banner is played for the harmony of the Tian family, the regent will not be so easy to refuse.

"..." Chunjia pondered for a while, then said noncommittally, "I'll think about it."

Yun Fenghuang thought, the strange emperor suddenly brought up the matter of King Qin's enrollment, probably because he wanted to play Wei Changkong's idea.

Hmm, or, the emperor wants to attack the regent?

Because nothing major happened in the previous court during this period, she was not sure about Chunjia's real intention of this move, so she thought about it for a while and put it aside for the time being, just joking with the emperor.

The next day, there was bad news from Yanhong Palace. It was said that Concubine Xian's condition had worsened, and the imperial physician had already confirmed that this was not due to bad luck to catch up with the worsening condition, but that she had eaten something she shouldn't have eaten.

Gu Zhen was so upset that he had received greetings from all the concubines early in the morning, so he asked Yun Fenghuang to stay, and told her: "The sky is not yet bright today, and Yan Honggong sent this word, you said Concubine Xian is still in a coma, how dare her subordinates have the guts? Most likely it was the order of the Spring Palace, what does this mean? Is it because I didn’t take good care of Concubine Xian? Pointing fingers up and down, now it’s okay to eat this. But if there is a master in each palace, it is the master who presides... Now that something goes wrong, why do you care about this palace?"

Because she is not Chunjia's first wife, and the Gu family doesn't have much foundation in the harem, and she is not favored. Since she was in the middle palace, she has rarely been tough.

So the degree of control over the Six Palaces may not be as good as the favored imperial concubine Yun Fenghuang to be honest.

Concubine Xian had an accident this time, and the queen really felt wronged.

"It's also because those people in Taoli Palace are gone with you, and the loving mother Empress Dowager is holding the handle." Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "Otherwise, why should you bother? Just a few coaxing words, she loves you Whether you listen or not, it has nothing to do with you."

Gu Zhen frowned, now she believed more in what Yun Fenghuang had said to smear the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Xingning Bofu, so she murmured: "The Palace of Chunlang should blame me, Bengong also admitted, indeed those few witnesses It’s gone in the Chongchang Palace, no matter what, I’m incapable of governing the palace and took advantage of them! But I’m afraid that her purpose is not to punish me, but to have other ambitions!”

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "You don't care what they think, anyway, if you can agree, you should be filial; It's useless!"

This made Gu Zhen feel at ease. Not to mention the emperor's attitude towards the Empress Dowager Yuan, he obviously didn't have much friendship with the Xingning House. Never received the emperor's special favor.

It can be seen that Chunjia has no plans to support Yuan's rise.

"...Your majesty went to your place yesterday, what did you say?" Gu Zhen got an idea, so he was free to care about Yun Fenghuang, and he specifically emphasized, "I didn't tell your majesty anything, only about myself. With all the troubles involved, I really can't take care of the Eighth Prince."

"But I heard that last night, did you still take the Eighth Prince over?" Yun Fenghuang didn't answer the previous question, but sighed, "To be honest, my lady, you're such a stupid move! Concubine I am really worried about your future: You think that even if the empress dowager has no other schemes, I just hope that you, as the aunt, will help take care of the eighth prince for a few days, but how old is the eighth prince? It is the most prone to three disasters and eight disasters. As for the empress dowager's concern for her own blood, the nieces and daughters will immediately end the fight if they have something to do. Let alone the eighth prince?"

"This..." Gu Zhen's expression froze, and he suddenly became ugly.

She was annoyed secretly, because of her preconceived ideas, after listening to Yun Fenghuang's suggestion, when Tong Chunjia objected yesterday, her mind was full of thoughts that if she accepted this child, she might be forced to recognize him as a son-in-law instead of her own cousin Gu Susheng's prince will be in charge of the East Palace in the future, and the Gu family will work so hard to make a wedding dress for the Yuan family, at least half of the benefits will be given to them... I never thought of this!

Don't mention how depressed I am now, I just feel that I am so stupid that I don't see it, and when I look at the quick-thinking imperial concubine, the corners of her mouth twitch slightly, I really don't want to admit it, I feel that I am not wronged for losing?

Yun Fenghuang continued: "The next thing you have to worry about is not those distant things, but that there is nothing wrong with the eighth prince. Otherwise, even if the concubine Xian has no spare energy to say what to do, I'm afraid that the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, won't be idle."

Gu Zhen's face was sombre, and he imagined that in the future, whenever there was any movement of the Eighth Prince, the Spring Palace would intervene, this...

She imagined that taking care of the other princes by herself was not only fulfilling the duty of the aunt, but also a kindness to that prince.

But if there is a loving mother empress dowager above her, and she is dictating the sky, what will she become?

Mother?

The queen couldn't hold back her posture anymore, quietly changed her sitting position, leaned slightly, and asked, "What you said is also reasonable, but I don't know if there is a countermeasure?"

"Where is there any countermeasure for this?" Yun Fenghuang secretly gloated, but his face was filled with sympathy, and he said slowly, "If you are another concubine, you may still get away. But you are the master of the sixth palace, the empress! Take care Any emperor's heir is your duty! After all, they all want to call you 'mother queen'. Unless you refuse to take over this matter from the beginning, even if you anger the loving mother empress dowager and your majesty for a while , it’s better than getting stuck with it and not being able to get rid of it. Now that everyone is here, unless Concubine Xian suddenly recovers, then you can justifiably return the child to her. Otherwise, the Eighth Prince will definitely fall in front of you!”

What a joke, this is such a good opportunity to provoke the relationship between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if I give you an idea to throw out the hot potato of the Eighth Prince, you would be a fool!

When she left Yanfu Palace that day, Gu Zhen was devastated. After the imperial concubine left, he immediately called the left and right sides to discuss: "Is there really no way to send the Eighth Prince away?"

"Mother, isn't the eighth prince already registered under the name of Concubine Xian?" Left and right thought she was still concerned about this matter, so they quickly reminded, "In that case, even if he is raised by us all the time, he is nothing more than a bastard in the end. In terms of ranking, you still have the third prince in front of you, so what is the eighth prince?"

It's good that she didn't mention "I've been raising it with us all the time". When she mentioned this, Gu Zhen's face turned dark, and told her to shut up, not to say such unlucky words: "Just now, the noble concubine reminded me, and the spring The one in the lazy palace cares about the younger generation with her own blood. The eighth prince is raised in front of me. Can she not intervene? If she only meddles in the affairs of the eighth prince, I can just bear it. But that one As a human being, do you think she can abide by the boundaries so much?"

"When the time comes, you will have to dictate what you should and should not do. What can I do?"

"That's the person who raised His Majesty. It's fine if the imperial concubine is very fond of her. I have a conflict with her. Do you think Your Majesty will help me???"

No wonder she was not regarded as a victim of filial piety by the emperor and the Queen Mother Yuan!
