Chapter 253 Taking Advantage of the Trend
Such a big event happened in the middle palace, and the queen was incapable of blocking the news like an iron bucket, so it naturally spread all over the six palaces very quickly.
Yun Fenghuang was very surprised when he heard about it, and his expression became solemn, and he said to the left and right: "A few days ago, there were rumors in the palace that suspected Queen Kezi, especially Kezizi... but now the tenth prince has gone wrong. , as if to confirm the rumors. But I don’t know who is making the effort. Is it possible that the crime will be pinned on Bengong’s head next, intending to kill two birds with one stone, and even the Queen and Bengong will be dealt with?”
She judges others by herself, if she is in a situation where Concubine Shu and Concubine De are likely to be in power, she will do so.
Chen Jing pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the servant is incompetent, but I haven't found any specific rumors, it seems that there is still a relationship with the Spring Palace and the Jiashan Palace, but... the clues in the middle seem to be obvious. a bit."
"It should probably be guided deliberately." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "The Empress Dowager Mother and the Empress Dowager Mother may not have good intentions towards the current Empress, but they are not in the Imperial Capital anymore, and they may not wish the Empress to collapse right now."
The main reason is that although Gu Zhen is not likable, it is better because the city government is shallow and lacks ability to deal with it.
If Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu are still in the capital, especially Empress Dowager Yuan, it's fine if she wants to change her favorite empress.
The point is that they have all gone back to Fuyang County now, thousands of miles away, because of the troubles in the Xingningbo Mansion, the Empress Dowager Yuan is not good, at least not in a short period of time to openly interfere with the palace affairs, in this case, replace What good does Gu Zhen do to them?
The investigation aroused Chunjia's disgust, and there was no real benefit if it succeeded.
In case someone took advantage of it, such as replacing it with a powerful queen, it would be even more inconvenient for the two queen mothers to say or do anything in the future. Would it be worth it?
"But who is doing this?" Qing people couldn't help doubting Concubine Shu, "Could it be the Ouyang family? Then Ouyang Yanran is now an important minister of His Majesty. Earlier, His Majesty and the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, also promised that they might raise a girl from their family." For the successor, even though the promise was broken later...but who knows if this family still has any ideas?"
After all, according to the suspicion of the imperial concubine, if something happened to the tenth prince and the empress Kezi was drawn out, and then the imperial concubine was the mastermind, so if the empress and imperial concubine were solved in one fell swoop, wouldn't concubine Shu become the best candidate?
"Ouyang's..." Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. That old fellow Ouyang Yanran is very cunning and good at figuring out the holy will..."
For example, giving up the covenant with Xuanqing Palace, changing from defending the imperial concubine to doing nothing, and even intentionally or unintentionally, will make things worse.
In fact, this move is because the emperor did not like the relationship between the imperial concubine and the important ministers in the previous dynasty.
Chunjia loves the imperial concubine and is reluctant to punish the imperial concubine.
At least not for now.
So if Ouyang Yanran continues to collude with Yun Fenghuang... There is a high probability that Chunjia will find an opportunity to promote Meng Shi and Luo Shi to replace him.
To put it bluntly, it's not that Ouyang Yanran didn't know that what she did would offend the noble concubine, and then bring trouble to the concubine Shu and her daughter in the palace. But under his weighing the pros and cons, although the imperial concubine is not easy to mess with, the status and power of the imperial concubine comes from the emperor, of course he chooses the emperor!
After all, if he sees that Yu Chunjia is abandoned, the revitalization of the whole Ouyang family will be destroyed in an instant. Forced to be tied to the chaise wheel. If Ouyang's family is so busy, at most they will be a hero! And what about Ouyang's now?
Ouyang Yanran's recovery, and the series of things she did after recovery, are in themselves heroes of Conglong, right?
They have provided great assistance in Chunjia's pro-government and even the steps to seize power!
The most important thing is that Ouyang Yanran doesn't think that the imperial concubine will be successful.
Because up until now, Chunjia has always made her son a heir with a firm attitude.
He really loves the noble concubine, but he has no intention of abandoning the middle palace and his son-in-law because of this, so that the noble concubine will be in charge of the Qingci Palace in the future.
Focusing on this point, it is only natural that Ouyang Yanran would rather sacrifice a granddaughter and even a royal daughter with the blood of Ouyang's family than break up with the imperial concubine.
After all, Yun Fenghuang can't give him enough benefits at present.
The imperial concubine is well aware of this, which is why she must do things now to increase her deterrent power. How could she beat Chunjia when it came to giving benefits? If he wanted to go against Chunjia's wishes, he could only take advantage of the fact that he was still conniving towards her now, and intimidated her inside and out.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang didn't think that Ouyang would support Concubine Shu to do things in the harem, or that Ouyang Yanran had made a choice long ago: quit the harem dispute and concentrate on the front court!
Concubine Shu may or may not have known, but in short, she and the fourth princess are already abandoned sons of the Ouyang family.
As far as Concubine Shu is concerned, Yun Fenghuang doesn't think she has managed such a battle.
"...Probably not the Ouyang family." The imperial concubine thought about it, repeated this idea, but then laughed, "However, it can also be done by Concubine Shu."
Chen Jing and the Qing people looked at each other and understood, but both hesitated: "But His Majesty is in Yanfu Palace now..."
"What does that matter?" Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "Isn't the empress shameful enough? The three sons, the king of Chu is stupid, the twelve princes drowned, and now the tenth prince also fell into the well... The ridiculous thing is that the king of Chu It was the wind and cold caught under the eyes of the queen; the tenth prince simply fell into the well in the Chongchang Palace! I don’t know what the queen and the people the queen sent to serve the two princes are doing? At the moment, the sixth palace, no , Even the previous dynasty knew about the empress’s incompetence and uselessness. The empress will be here for a while, and I’m afraid it’s too late to take care of the ten princes. How can I find out the truth if I have the spare time? Is it possible for them to send the truth to them now? Do you want to make irresponsible remarks?"
Chen Jing hesitated and said: "The empress must not have dared, after all, without your kindness, the empress must have been discussed even more... It is... It is His Majesty... Is the tenth prince the first prince!"
In addition, it happened in the harem again.
Chen Jing thinks that Chunjia should still want to find out the truth rather than ambiguous the past.
"Of course Your Majesty will personally intervene in this matter, but don't you need to explain this matter on the surface?" Yun Fenghuang gave him a blank look, "You just go to Yanfu Palace to report it like this, just talk about Concubine Shu's suspicion, and the rest Don't even mention it. Your Majesty knows better than you what to do!"
Not to mention the death of a prince who was born in the first place, but the death of Gu Shao's master and servant, do you really think Chunjia has completely forgotten it?
It's just that the emperor can't remember it for the time being, can he help to think about it?
But so far there is no confirmation. It is estimated that either it was not found at all, or it is difficult to say if it was found.
In short, on the surface of this matter, Gu Shao's subordinates lost their minds and joined forces to murder their master... Let alone whether this conclusion is absurd or not, anyway, there is an explanation from the deep palace, and that is the truth.
"Mother, tell me, who did this?" When Chen Jing took the order to leave, the Qing people brought Yun Fenghuang bird's nest with rock sugar, and said with a sigh, "My maidservant's heart is a little hairy. In the past six months, there have been too many things happening in Yanfu Palace. Gu Cairen is the master and servant of the tenth prince... Do you think that place is really unclean? In fact, it is wronged, the twelfth prince What is the biological mother? The former queen..."
She hesitated to speak but stopped, because she remembered that the relationship between Yun Fenghuang and the former empress might not be good.
Although Ji Lingzi's death was inevitable at the beginning, Yun Fenghuang also contributed a lot to the suppression of this empress.
But at this moment, Yun Fenghuang certainly didn't mind his servant feeling sorry for Ji Lingzi, after all, she was gone, so she wouldn't be so stingy.
"Do you suspect that the former empress is evil and refuses to spare the person who occupied her former palace?" Yun Fenghuang ate a mouthful of bird's nest and said with a half-smile, "Where did such a thing happen? If so, what happened before and after Yanfu Palace?" There are too many empresses who have lived there, and many of them died unjustly. At least the former empress did not exist in Shanyuan Temple, and other empresses died tragically in Yanfu Palace...”
For example, the last queen of Emperor Shizong of the Kingdom was younger than Shenzong, but because of her young age, although she made countless plans every step of the way, in the end she missed a move and was forced by Shenzong. It is said that his son-in-law did not end well.
The history books record a few words, because this dynasty needs to be taboo by Shenzong, so it is only recorded according to the self-injury on the surface.
In fact, according to palace rumors, the queen died extremely tragically.
This is because Shenzong resented her very much and deliberately did not let her go happily.
After the successor went, the empress dowager, the empress of Shenzong, lived in Yanfu Palace, and then the empress dowager's niece, Xiaozong's empress Ji Sheng, and after that, Xiaozong's heir Chunjia's Yuan. Ji Lingzi... If the successor really turns into a ghost, how could he let the Ji family's three generations of phoenix masters go? !
I also heard that when they presided over the Sixth Palace, there was something unclean in Yanfu Palace.
Yun Fenghuang also said: "If there is really something troublesome, the Zheng family, why don't they come to look for this palace early in the morning?"
She spoke calmly, but the Qing people were a little creepy, and changed the topic with a forced smile: "It's because the maid is thinking too much... I just don't know what the empress did wrong, which caused people to target her like this."
"Actually, if you want to talk about suspicion, there is already one in the palace." Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "The dead may not be able to cause trouble, and the popularity of the living is not so popular, but it is understandable... The empress dowager is still there. The Yanfu Palace was presided over by her niece and granddaughter, but now it has fallen into the hands of Gu Zhen. Gu Zhen, the queen, is still doing very badly... If this palace is the empress dowager, this palace will feel Gu Zhen Wasted the back position."
"However, the Empress Dowager is also at this age, and the Ji family is gone. Even if there are one or two remnants of evil fleeing far away, she is powerless to recover. No matter how hard she struggles now, she can't make any waves... But why bother?" Worry about it?"
"Because many people sued the Ji family in the previous dynasty, there were gradually movements calling for the deprivation of the Ji family's honor. It can be seen that our majesty is not the kind of master who rubs sand in his eyes."
"Even if the Empress Dowager puts her life and death aside, she still has to think about what will happen after her death?"
Not to mention anything else, if Chunjia finds an excuse not to let her be buried with Shenzong alone, it will be enough to disgust her.
There are no such examples in the previous dynasty.
Seeing that the Qing people were stunned, Yun Fenghuang shoved the bowl into her hand, and said indifferently: "Anyway, the target is the queen now, and His Majesty has already worried about this matter, why should we think so much? First It is serious to get rid of Concubine Shu and frighten Liugong!"
Counting the days again, "I'm going to give birth soon?"
"That's right, ma'am." The Qing people said quickly, "The servants are already preparing, according to His Royal Highness King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing..."
"It doesn't have to be so grand, and I don't want to see what the atmosphere in the palace is like?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "King Qin and Zhaoqing are the eldest son and daughter of His Majesty. Even if they are concubines, it is only natural that they should be more grand. How many brothers and sisters are there in line? What's the benefit of fighting at such a young age and paying more attention to the three sons-in-law? We are going to fight, but how old is fifteen now? It's not time to be in the limelight. Wait a minute. "
People in the Qing Dynasty felt sorry, because according to what she and Chen Jing and other close servants thought, compared to Qin Wang Zhaoqing's specifications, they were wronged by the fifteenth prince, not to mention that they have to cut it down now?
But Yun Fenghuang's attitude was firm, and she didn't dare to object, so she could only nod in agreement.
Just as he was about to go out to spread the word, Yun Fenghuang remembered something again: "What are the children doing now? Are you going to visit the Tenth Prince?"
