Chapter 51 How to Sell Teammates without Forming an Alliance?
Yuan Yuniang, who was glaring at Xijing, instantly widened her eyes: "What did you say?!"
Immediately he gasped, "Are you crazy?! This is absolutely not allowed!"
"No?" Yun Fenghuang looked at her with a half-smile, waved his hand and told Xijing and Xile to step back, so he could have some time to say, "Then Jieyu told me, your majesty may compete with the Ji family at this moment?"
Without waiting for Yuan Niang's answer, she added, "If you could, how could you be demoted to Jieyu? Your Majesty is still dormant, but Ji is already suspicious. What should you do now? Are you going to hold on? ? This is the consequence of what I just told you. Even if the imperial concubine cannot get a boy at one stroke, following the example eight years ago, there are always a few ignorant children to choose from among so many feudal princes, right?"
"For the current plan, we can only take a step back and continue to endure."
Light flashed in Yun Fenghuang's eyes, and he said softly, "Actually, your Majesty, your dear mother, the Empress Dowager, and Your Majesty, it is right to choose this opportunity to take action. The noble concubine is happy, and Mr. Lingshan entered the Regent's Palace. It is the former When the balance of the imperial harem is broken, as long as the operation is done well, the fisherman will be able to benefit, and the sea is wide and the fish can leap, and the sky is high and the birds can fly!"
"But now the mother-in-law, the empress dowager, and the queen already have doubts..."
Yuan Niang said nervously: "They are just suspicious! Do you have any evidence? The Ji family is most afraid of the Queen Mother and the empress interfering in politics. Ji family will not believe what they say!"
Yun Fenghuang said: "Do you believe this kind of nonsense? The Queen Mother and Queen are of the Ji family. They are able to sit in their current positions not because of the emperor's favor or their own virtues, but because of the Ji family! These two people look so stupid. Instead of protecting the Ji family, they favor His Majesty?! The Ji family may not like women to be involved in politics, but how can they not keep a close eye on major matters involving life and death?!"
Then he sneered, "Maybe Ji uses such rumors to trick others at critical moments!"
"What do you know when you come out of a small family?" Yuan Fu Niang said in a distraught voice, "When Emperor Shenzong passed away and His Majesty Xiaozong ascended the throne, he did not like the Ji family's prerogative of power and deliberately suppressed his relatives. However, because Xiaozong was young, he had a strong foundation in the court. Shang Qian, this matter was discovered by the Ji family just after it started... After that, it never got what it wanted. In the meantime, the Empress Dowager felt sorry for her son, and often tried to distract Emperor Xiaozong, and even persuaded his mother, the Empress Dowager, to help. Xiaozong... But in the end, Ji's skills were superior, and even the queen mother, the Empress Dowager, turned to her parents' family in the end..."
"Even so, Mrs. Ji still feels that a woman who marries outside her home is nothing but water thrown out of her home and cannot be trusted!"
"In order to avoid a similar situation, they took the lead and stated that they would not allow the harem to interfere in politics. Not only did they gain a reputation as a virtuous man, but they also prevented their daughter from turning her elbows outward and helping the Gongxiang family to deceive them!"
Yun Fenghuang thought that it was like this. It was strange that Queen Dao Ji was full of thoughts of repaying the family, but was not trusted by the family... It was just that the Ji family was a little bit incapacitated due to choking. The Queen Mother was Xiaozong's biological mother, and her natal family was not as close as her own son. It turned out that This is human nature. But both the Empress Dowager and Empress Ji have no sons.
Yun Fenghuang is not sure about the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xiaozong, but the relationship between Empress Ji and Emperor Chunjia...
Anyway, Yun Fenghuang didn't think that the queen regarded the emperor as more important than the family.
She was thinking and heard Yuan Niang continue to say, "It's just that the empress dowager and empress Ji are unwilling to be lonely. Besides taking care of the palace, they always try to point out the affairs of the previous dynasty... The Gonghaixi Marquis of Ye State, Minyang Marquis, are not willing to be lonely. I was so fed up with this that I even publicly remonstrated with the Empress Dowager at the palace banquet the year before last to restrain my daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law to abide by their duties... So..."
"So why are these two still monitoring and doubting His Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang interrupted lazily. In fact, she wanted to hear some more news, but that didn't work. If she let Yuan Fu Niang continue to talk, her confidence gradually increased. The effect of alarmism will be greatly reduced.
It is not unreasonable for counselors and lobbyists in the Middle Ages and Lower Ancients to try to persuade someone by intimidating them.
Yun Fenghuang must keep Yuan Yuniang in fear and awe of the situation, so that every word of his can leave a clear impression in her mind and maintain his authority. At this moment, he deliberately sneered and said, "These two people owe their current status and power to Ji. If Ji really wants to control them, will she be unable to control them?"
"The results of it?"
"We have warned again and again, and even suggested that the harem should not be allowed to interfere in politics. Aren't these two people still working tirelessly to make women as good as men?"
"If you really believe the drama that the family is putting on, then I have nothing to say...it shows that the Fuyang King lineage does not have the blessings of Yuji Yunei to rule the world!"
Yuan Niang's face was very ugly: "Okay, even if Ji believed these two people and had already become suspicious of Your Majesty, why should my father have to die?!"
"Your Majesty wants to do something right now. Besides your Majesty and Duke Yi Guo, who else can you call upon?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "This is a big matter, and your Majesty's suspicions can be dispelled by more than just a soft show of persuasion." Yes! How can I explain it unless a person of sufficient importance dies? If your father does not die, do you expect Duke Yi to stand up and kill himself? Let me put it bluntly, not to mention that it is impossible for Yun Zhao to do this, even if he really has this loyalty. As long as you still have His Majesty in your heart, you must stop him!"
"After all, the importance of Yiguo Duke's Mansion to His Majesty cannot be compared to that of your mere Fuyang Yuan family!"
"But that's my father!" Mother Yuan said angrily, "You mean to let me kill my father for His Majesty?! Are you still a human being!?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "Then who calls them too stupid? As the saying goes, if a king doesn't keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, and if ministers don't keep secrets, he will lose his identity. I, a woman who grew up in a boudoir, know such a simple truth, but many of them don't have one. Anyone with a brain deserves this calamity!"
Then he said, "And what kind of patricide is this? Things have come to this point. Do you think that even if you disagree, your father can live? Think about it for yourself, if you were Ji, what would you do now? Who is Your Majesty? Your Majesty, the imperial concubine's heir has not yet been born, so the adoption must be planned in advance to avoid being passive, so it is not easy to attack Your Majesty for the time being. As for the Yiguo Duke's Palace, the Ji family wants to! But their Yun family has a high position and power, and they still Even if we have military power, we can’t move it all at once.”
"Then who is the most suitable person for them to scare the monkeys and destroy His Majesty's plan?"
Of course it’s Xing Ningbo’s lineage!
Yuan Niang's lips twitched and she answered silently in her heart.
Xingningbo is the title of her father Yuan Qihuai.
Because she was not the official palace of Emperor Chunjia, the imperial court did not have the custom of conferring titles to the fathers of concubines. Yuan Qihuai followed the path of the Empress Dowager Yuan and was conferred as the emperor's uncle. Originally, the emperor's uncle was generally given a title of marquis, but under pressure from all parties, he was finally given the title of earl... not to mention the specific official position, which was just a dispensable Qingshui Yamen.
It is said that he has the power to discuss affairs in the upper court, but in fact, under the strong power of the Ji family, the General Hussar and the Regent's Palace are eyeing each other. Qingliu has always had a stubborn attitude and has never played with his relatives... In short, as the emperor, Xing Ningbo The direct descendants basically just follow and nod behind Duke Yi.
Therefore, when other forces need to show off to Duke Yi, no, rather to the emperor, choosing the Yuan family is the most cost-effective and cost-effective option.
He has a shallow foundation in the court, is easy to attack, and is known to have a close relationship with the emperor, which is enough to slap him in the face and deter him.
The most important thing is that the relationship between the Yuan family and the Duke of Yi Kingdom, due to the grievances between Yuan Niang and Concubine Shu, although they will not become enemies, but the Duke of Yi State will protect the Yuan family at this critical moment... Yuan Niang will come back again Even the naive would not believe it.
In fact, it would be considered kind of Yun not to add insult to injury.
She felt that her eyes were going dark, and she pinched her palms hard. When she spoke again, she was already a little angry: "You... you must have something to do, right?!"
It was rare for her to say complimentary words to the other women of Emperor Chunjia, "You are so smart and powerful, and you have done so many things just a few days after entering the palace. You must have a way to protect my father, right?! If you do Come, I will listen to you no matter what you say from now on!"
"Do you think I'm a god?" However, Yun Fenghuang flatly refused, "Your father's death will happen sooner or later, no, it should be said that it happened in the past few days. There was a turbulent undercurrent in the harem these two days ago, how could the Ji family just sit back and watch? Regent Neither the Royal Palace nor the General Hussars are easy to mess with. The Ji family must free up enough manpower and energy to deal with them... So they will definitely cut through the chaos quickly and pacify the rear! Your Majesty will not live long, I tell you. These are just for you to think carefully about how to take advantage of this matter!"
Mother Yuan's mouth went dry, and she leaned forward to pull her sleeves: "Even if the Ji family wants to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, it may not be my father... I mean there are other people in our Yuan family, why must it be my father?!"
"Because your father, Xing Ningbo, is the head of the Yuan family." Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "Once he dies, your brothers must carry the coffin and return home, and resign Ding You! And the other members of the Yuan family also regard their relationship with your father as Far and near, there are a series of things about attending funerals and observing filial piety. Originally, your Yuan family did not have a deep foundation in the court. After all this trouble, there will be almost no Yuan family in the temple... If it were other members of your Yuan family who died, Where does this effect come from?”
"Then what hope does Your Majesty have in the future?! There are not many useful people under His Majesty's command. If even my family collapses, wouldn't it mean that only Yiguo Duke's Mansion is left alone?!" Yuan Fu Niang suddenly changed her color and lowered her voice. He said in a stern voice, "I think you simply wish that His Majesty would never be able to succeed!"
That’s so right!
That's what I thought!
Yun Fenghuang silently agreed with her in his heart, but he would definitely not admit it: "If I hope that your majesty will never be successful, why do I need to talk to you so much nonsense?!"
Without waiting for Yuan Niang to accuse her again, she added, "And even if the Yuan family is intact, what's the use? If it were useful, Your Majesty would still be unable to rule by himself? If I were you, I would take this opportunity to win over other allies, and Even if your father’s death is not unjust...it’s as if your father and the others also feel that you can die, but you can’t die worthless, don’t you?!”
The last sentence made Yuan Yuniang silent for a long time, and finally she said: "You... are really crazy! I don't want to listen to you."
"That's up to you, Jieyu." Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "The days are long, and I don't think I have to rely on you to deal with Duke Yi. With your sudden behavior, I even regret finding you. you."
Then he returned to the topic, "Since the Queen has said that you have to copy the book, no matter how many there are, you still have to make a few copies, otherwise I won't be able to pay the job, and it will be difficult for me to be polite to you. We are all concubines, don't call me It’s hard for me, okay?”
"..." Yuan Yuniang didn't argue with her this time. Instead, she silently walked to the desk where the four treasures of the study were placed. She laid out paper and studied ink. She casually flipped through a scripture and copied it. After copying a few words, she felt uneasy. Suddenly He stopped and didn't look back. He just looked at the scattered handwriting in front of him and asked in a low voice, "What kind of allies do you think you can win at this time?"
Yun Fenghuang said a name with a smile, causing Yuan Fu to shake her hands and almost knock over the inkstone. She casually threw the purple hair on the rice paper, raised her sleeves to cover her lips, and said in disbelief: "How is that possible!?"
