Chapter 150: Raising a Thief to Respect Himself

"What does it mean that it won't end for a while?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows after hearing the news, lowered the round fan that was shaking slightly in his hand, and looked at Chen Jing who was not far away, "It doesn't mean that He Le is no longer defeated. , so fled to the depths of the grassland?"

Chen Jing said in a low voice: "I said this before, but the news came back that Hele found the support of some tribes and even defeated Xifa and the Dingbei Army in a row. The epidemic caused more than half of the damage. Therefore, the army is now held back and dare not retreat easily, and even the gold sand that was dug before is not lucky to come out."

Yun Fenghuang squinted her eyes and propped her chin with a round fan. After a while, she said slowly: "Uncle Zhao Wu is not a novice for the first time. Even if victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, why didn't he even protect his horse?"

Chen Jing's face was a little weird when he heard this, and he took two steps closer, Fang whispered: "I said I wouldn't do it at first, but because...the brothers of the Wei family and the Yun family were competing for merit, they hindered each other, and concealed a lot of important news. , and it ended up like this.”

As expected, Uncle Zhao Wu was not a novice for the first time, and his skill in throwing the pot was really subtle.

Yun Fenghuang sneered slightly in her heart, she suspected that this was the result of her instigating the empress and the Gu family's trust in Chunjia before.

Whether it is the queen or the Gu family, what is the biggest support?

Set the Northern Army!

To be precise, it is military power, Uncle Zhao Wu's ability to fight on the battlefield!

As long as the northern border is peaceful, or the Dingbei Army loses power, for them, they will lose the ability to bargain with Chunjia, and even protect themselves and their family.

After that, life and death, honor and disgrace all depend on Chunjia.

So if the Gu family doesn't want to lose this support or advantage, the best choice is to raise the thief's self-respect!

Northern Xinjiang needs to sit tight and wait for a day, and the emperor and the court will take care of the family for a day.

After all, looking up and down the temple, there is no second person who is suitable to replace Gu Fangshu.

At that time, the status of the Gu family and the queen will be guaranteed.

As for Chunjia, she also felt that this family could not be eliminated...

"Is it just the children of the Wei family and the Yun family?" Yun Fenghuang pondered for a moment, then raised his head to confirm, "Those brothers in this palace, didn't they do such a dishonorable thing?"

The coalition forces now have the upper hand, and if they want to raise the bandits' self-respect, they must have a reason.

Gu Fangshu's throwing blame was Yun Fenghuang's expected move, and she was even mentally prepared for the children of the Xie family and the Jiang family to be framed.

In the end, Gu Fangshu finally chose the Yun family and the Wei family?

"Returning to the mother's words, the servant has repeatedly confirmed that this matter has nothing to do with Xie Jiang's two sons." Chen Jing said softly, "The two sons have always kept the mother's teachings in mind, kept a low profile, and never argued with others .”

After all, Yun Fenghuang's favor is placed here, and there are several emperor's heirs under his knees.

Who in Dingbei Army would dare to take credit for her brothers and uncles?

They are humble and can win favor.

"Wei... I know why they are so impatient. After all, they want to get back the title that their ancestors once obtained." Yun Fenghuang sighed softly and said, "As for me, Yun, why am I so confused? ? They have not failed His Majesty's expectations of them."

In fact, she knew in her heart that it was inevitable that the children of the Yun family would be dumped.

Firstly, Chunjia almost hinted that they would take over Gu's squad in the Dingbei Army, so they naturally didn't dare to neglect; secondly, Gu Fangshu also knew very well that among the people who were stuffed under his hands, people from other families At most, the younger brother wanted to share some credit, but the Yun family only wanted to squeeze him away.

It's okay when he didn't plan to do anything before.

Now that he intends to raise the thief's self-respect, who else should he be the first to target, if not the Yun family?

As a well-known general for many years, Gu Fangshu is also the commander-in-chief of this expedition. He has a considerable say in the settlement of his subordinates' merits and demerits.

However, Yun's is not a fuel-efficient lamp, especially they still have Chun Jiala's side frame.

I am afraid that some will be torn next.

Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang smiled, let Chen Jing back down, and only called Zhao Qing to speak in front of him, and the time was so peaceful that this palace concentrates on raising children and does not care about worldly affairs.

Deep hiding and name.

... Within two days, the previous court was torn apart.

First, the Wei family and the Yun family blamed each other, accusing each other of being incompetent in raising their children, which caused the army to suffer repeated injuries, turning victory into defeat.

After the Gu family was pulled out, Wei and Yun joined forces to accuse Gu Fangshu of being unfair and failing to handle the credit evaluation and relationship between subordinates.

But Mrs. Gu was also unequivocal, denying all such allegations, claiming that his son was the most fair in doing things, and that this expedition did not depend on his background or his family background, but on his personal merit and ability.

For this reason, he also specifically cited the list of Gu Fangshu's personal requests for credit during this period, so why is it unfair for the monarch and his ministers to judge his son?

However, Yun Fenghuang's brothers are at the top of the list.

The kind that is not close in blood but has a good relationship.

After the officials found out for a little while that these people surnamed Xie were indeed the relatives of the noble concubine, they looked at the old man with a look of rogue speechlessness.

I also know that the imperial concubine will definitely support this list.

If the Wei family and the Yun family dared to deny it, they would face Yun Fenghuang's anger and counterattack.

The Wei family immediately retracted the spearhead against the Gu family, and continued to tear up with the Yun family.

After all, they have a closer relationship with Yun Fenghuang, and the virtuous concubine Wei Hengyan is ranked among the fourth concubines purely by being a noble concubine.

Ordinarily speaking, the Wei family is inferior to the Yun family in terms of background and holy family, so it should be at a disadvantage.

But the old lady who can't stand Wei is Princess Dongxing.

Chunjia's nominal great-aunt.

In the past two years, he has been standing by his elders.

Princess Dongxing personally went to the palace to talk to Chunjia and sell her misery, and Concubine De's tenderness and care in the harem, Chunjia was not good at all and lost face.

In particular, the regent just went, and he was about to show his affectionate side to his clan, so he couldn't be too partial to the Yun family.

In this way, Wei Shi and Yun Shi are evenly matched.

In the end, the farce ended with Chunjia each hitting 50 big boards.

As for the situation of the army...

At the beginning, all the cavalry were sent to support Xifa to avenge his father, but now half of them have no horses, and the battle situation is also at a disadvantage. This... this must be temporarily inseparable!

After all, they are deep into the grassland now, without a horse, they walk out on two legs, and they don't know when they will go.

The most important thing is that Hele is still watching, so if he walks like this, can he not take advantage of the fire?

So what Gu Fangshu meant was that he planned to cooperate with Xifa and continue to fight Hele. If he was lucky, he could grab a batch of mounts and he would be able to come back.

Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the emperor if his subordinates suffered too much damage, right?

"I have to thank Gu Aiqing this time." Chun Jia specially summoned Mrs. Gu for this purpose, and her attitude was very considerate and polite. After some encouragement, she also said that the current situation of the army is due to the arrogant children of the Wei family and the Yun family. Selfishness, let Gu Fangshu discipline them well in the future, and don't have to think about the family behind them, such as father and brother...

All in all, comfort.

Old Master Gu left the palace with gratitude, and returned to the other courtyard, his inner clothes were all wet.

This made all the descendants panic: "Father, could it be that His Majesty scolded our family?"

"It would be better if this is the case." The old man Gu didn't care about changing clothes, took a sip of the tea handed by the servant, and sighed, "That means that His Majesty treats us as his own... At this time, I didn't suspect your elder brother. But Your Majesty was so kind just now... so kind, I almost fell headfirst on the spot!"

His hand holding the teacup trembled a little, so that the tea stained some of his clothes, but at the moment, no one cared about it. The needle could be heard in the study, and the old man whispered, "If you talk about the relationship between the emperor and his ministers in the past If there is still some concealment in the room, after this time, His Majesty is completely suspicious of coming to our house. He... He is simply afraid that your elder brother will never return, so he simply led the army to Weihe, so he tried every means to stabilize our house. !"

The disciples of the Gu family were shocked, and immediately looked at each other in panic: "Then...then what should we do?"

Old Mrs. Gu looked at their panic-stricken appearance with some sadness. The Gu family had no successors. This was well known to everyone in the past few years, otherwise Luo Tieyi would not have joined the army as the son of the family.

He was also well prepared for future generations to be unworthy, so he went everywhere to make money for his descendants.

But when the real thing came to an end, seeing that none of the heirs in the room could stand up to make up their minds and help share their worries, but all counted on the old father at this age to come out as a pillar, the old man still felt a bit desolate.

He calmed down and said: "This is the end of the matter, it is a done deal, so there is no need to think about it. In short, children grow up very quickly. When the Twelve Princes enter the East Palace and have a little foundation, our family will return the military power. Returning to my hometown... Presumably His Majesty was able to endure eight years in order to be in charge of the government, and our family's actions are only for self-protection, His Majesty should be able to tolerate it."

Even if Chunjia can't tolerate it...but the Gu family has no other choice now.

The old man regretted for a moment, was it too impulsive to force his son to threaten the king like this?

But soon he thought that the emperor didn't hesitate at all to appease him just now, maybe if he didn't coerce, the same result would be the same.

Then try hard, maybe there is still a glimmer of life?

In short, there is no way to regret it now, so don't regret it.

With such fear, it's better to think carefully about how to keep the sense of proportion, and to preserve the family and subsequent wealth without letting the emperor turn his face completely.

He was thinking about countermeasures here, but Yun Fenghuang was already pulling Chunjia to scold the Gu family for being shameless: "How dare you fool His Majesty with such a military and national matter, this is simply not taking His Majesty into consideration!!! How dare Gu Jia'an do this!! !"

"Okay, okay." Chunjia had dismissed Old Master Gu before, and smashed things in Xingxintang for a long time. After venting, he was calm, and he persuaded Yun Fenghuang to calm down with a refined and refined posture, "Ah Huang After all, she is also a noble concubine, why should she be so impatient? Look at me, I am not angry at all."

It's no wonder that Yun Fenghuang believed him, and only when she heard that Mrs. Gu left with a lot of rewards, she knew that the emperor would not make things easier for Mrs. Gu, so why not be angry?

Hearing the words, he calmed down his anger and snorted, "Can this be the same? If the concubine suffers a loss, she can calm down and think about how to pay it back. If the majesty is changed, the concubine just wants to serve the majesty immediately." Seeking justice is what it is!"

Chunjia liked to hear such words. Although he didn't think Yun Fenghuang could do anything for him, after all, he had never experienced such unreasonable maintenance since he was a child, so he liked the concubine's attitude very much.

Wen Yan smiled, stroked Yun Fenghuang's temple hair, and said slowly: "I know Ah Huang loves me, but this is not a big deal. Dingbei Army is strong, but Gu Fangshu's subordinates are not all Dingbei Army; secondly, the country does not only have Dingbei Army!"

He said the latter sentence very eloquently.

Yun Fenghuang's eyes moved, and he wanted to know what he meant, but Chunjia had already changed the subject and said something else: "Don't provoke the queen too much these two days, no one will think that I say one thing and do another , to appease the Gu family, but let you be disrespectful to the queen. Huh?"

"I don't think anyone with the surname Gu is a good thing nowadays, but if your majesty says so, can I still not listen?" Yun Fenghuang sighed, and said disconsolately, "Your Majesty is such a virtuous and virtuous king, why are there always people who don't like it?" Long eyes?"

Chunjia smiled and coaxed her a few words, because there were too many things to deal with that day, and she was a little mentally ill, so she was placed.

When paying her respects the next day, the queen obviously didn't sleep well all night, so she specially sent the rest of the people to talk and ask Chunjia about her attitude.

"This time, you can blame the Wei family and the Yun family's children for being bad, but what's the matter with Uncle Zhao Wu?" Yun Fenghuang asked her with a surprised face, "Isn't that what your majesty said?"

The queen asked suspiciously: "But it's my father who didn't manage the subordinates well?"

"That also depends on them being really obedient. How many things have the army dispatched? Uncle Zhao Wu is also a human being. How can he do everything by himself without making any mistakes? Your Majesty is not a mean person, how can you not count?" Yun Fenghuang said lightly. Said, "Your Majesty also thinks that this is Uncle Zhaowu's fault?"

"..." The empress stared at her for a while, knowing that she was not capable of stalking the imperial concubine, she sighed and waved her away.

When Yun Fenghuang returned to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, he was told by the Qing people: "Two days ago, the Wang family sent two boxes of generous gifts to the Thirteenth Young Madam, saying that their son will be married soon. I am grateful for your mother's support and support in the past two years, so I would like to offer a little thanks."

"Which Wang family?" In the past two years, there have been too many people who asked Yun Fenghuang to work, and she couldn't remember.

"Ma'am, have you forgotten? It was Wang Linglai, the number one scholar who almost became the son-in-law of His Royal Highness Princess Minghui." The Qing people reminded in a low voice, "Because of the divorce, he was sent out and returned to Beijing last month. I don't want to say that it's a marriage. This marriage is a coincidence. Ma'am, who's daughter do you think?"

Yun Fenghuang should know this tone.

Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, then asked: "Could it be Defei's younger sister?"

"But it's not." Qing said with a smile, "It's the young lady of Ouyang's family, the one who was almost involved in a storm at the osmanthus appreciation banquet before, and the one whose boudoir name is 'Fulu'."

Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows in surprise: "She? Wasn't she told to Yun Qike?"

The Ouyang family even tested her for this purpose, and the price they offered was not low... Later, because of Yun Fenghuang's objection, the matter could not be settled, but with Ouyang Fulu's background, even if he didn't tell Yun Qike Should it be a direct son of similar birth?

How could they become a pair with Wang Linglai?
