Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 269 Gu's: The Son of Heaven Is Thinking, the Future Will Last Forever

Yun Fenghuang didn't think Concubine De would refuse this request, in fact Wei Hengyan did agree very readily, and promised to choose a sensible and well-behaved girl to replace Ouyang Changsheng as soon as possible.

In a blink of an eye, it was the full moon banquet of the fifteen princes. Although no one was invited due to the low-key and unexpected specifications of the previous court and harem, Chunjia took the time to attend in person, and even conferred the title of the fifteen princes as King Jin on the spot at the full moon banquet. It proves that the imperial concubine's favor is stable.

So much so that the empress, who was already very used to the emperor favoring concubines, felt a little sad when she returned to the Chongchang Palace: "The concubine already has a king of Qin under her knees, and now she has been named king of Jin... If it hadn't been for your majesty's personal promise to the palace , this palace is really going to have trouble sleeping and eating!"

After all, according to the tacit understanding all along, Qin, Jin, Qi, Chuyan and other national titles that were very powerful in ancient times can only be owned by the prince who favors them.

As a result, both Qin and Jin were at the imperial concubine's knees, so who could be at peace after becoming the middle palace?

"Your Majesty has always been wise, even if he loves the noble concubine, he has a sense of proportion." The left and right are also very upset, but they still say comforting words, "Besides, no matter how particular the king's name is, he is just a vassal king. How can he be with the East Palace?" Than? Your Majesty, don’t forget that the Twelfth Prince has been raised by His Majesty up to now.”

"It's just that his body is still weak, so His Majesty is worried." Gu Zhen sighed, "How old is Twelve... His Majesty can't just keep him in the side hall forever. Still have to send it back."

Having said that, I think that even King Qin and Zhaoqing, who were deeply in love at the beginning, did not say that they were kept in the side hall by the emperor for many days.

At that time Zhaoqing was limping, and the emperor still looks distressed when he mentions it, but he didn't let her live in Taichu Palace, did he?

It can be seen that Chunjia is indeed a measured person, a son is a son, and a son of a concubine can be pampered, but he is determined not to mess up Gangchang.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhen finally calmed down.

But it was quiet for two days.

Because there is an urgent report from the frontier: Uncle Zhao Wu has entrusted his general affairs to his lieutenant general, and he is on his way back!

This news made the ruling and opposition parties breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially the Queen and Gu Shi.

Although everyone felt that it was unlikely that Gu Fangshu would defect to another country because he didn't care about the emperor's capital and the empress, but since the master's expedition to Weihe, many of his actions seemed not so obedient and obedient. It is the identity of the Regent King Paoze, which really cannot reassure Chunjia.

If I didn't get an exact reply from him for a day, I can't rule out the possibility that he's in a daze, can't I?

It's just that the news came at about the same time, and there was another news that made people very tangled: the reason why Gu Fangshu delayed his departure for so long was because he slaughtered a small country in the west, and it is said that he captured There are a lot of cattle, sheep, jewelry, women and children.

There is nothing wrong with this approach, because before, he was defeated by He Le's sneak attack, and even the noble sons who shared the credit with the army died, and then the rebels pretended to be the noble sons of the imperial capital and went all the way to attack the palace. door opportunity. Under such circumstances, it is normal for Gu Fangshu to find ways to atone for his crimes.

but……

That was before Chunjia called him back.

The imperial edict asked him to explain to the Dingbei army soldiers that they turned into dead soldiers. At this time, he made meritorious service... What does this mean?

Thinking of the good is to atone for the crime; thinking of the bad, it is to take the credit and be proud, use this credit to coerce the hearts of the people, so that the emperor will not easily dispose of him.

In short, the ruling and opposition parties breathed a sigh of relief, and then tightened their strings again.

I really don't know what Gu Fangshu is thinking...

Even the queen, Gu Fangshu's biological daughter, was at a loss.

She summoned her own mother specifically for this purpose, making insinuations.

It's just that Mrs. Uncle Zhaowu couldn't help: "How do I know? It's not that you don't know. When your grandfather and the others were discussing important matters, they never let us women and other people mix in."

Moreover, their husband and wife have been separated in two places for the past two years. Gu Fangshu's thoughts, even the concubine Ji who served him with the army, knew a little better than her regular wife.

"Anyway, it's good that he is willing to come back." Seeing her daughter frowning and saying nothing, Mrs. Zhao Wubo sighed and advised her to think about it, "If he doesn't come back, we will be doomed... so maybe the empress thinks I'm cruel , but in my opinion, I would rather have him come back."

The Gu family did not actually betray Chunjia. In addition, no successors are likely to threaten the imperial power. Even if the emperor is dissatisfied and Gu Fangshu returns, the possibility of the Gu family being dealt with is not high.

If it is possible, Mrs. Zhao Wubo certainly hopes that the whole family will be fine, and her daughter will be promoted from empress to empress dowager smoothly... But if it is not possible, she thinks it is a good deal to sacrifice her husband in exchange for the peace of herself and her children.

It's not that she resents Uncle Zhao Wu, but a natural balance of pros and cons.

Seeing that Gu Zhen couldn't bear it, Mrs. Zhao Wubo thought for a while and said in a low voice: "If the time comes, Your Majesty must punish your father, Your Majesty might as well ask the imperial concubine for help."

"If it's really at that point, who will say that love is useful?" Gu Zhen said pessimistically, "And the imperial concubine may not agree. Mother should know that the imperial concubine is ambitious, and I'm afraid she would like to see our family suffer!"

Mrs. Zhao Wubo said lightly: "That's true, but although His Majesty is very indulgent to the noble concubine in other matters, he is unwilling to fulfill her wish in the matter of establishing a heir... so with your majesty's shrewdness, can you not be the noble concubine? Mother and son think about it in the future? Before I entered the palace this time, your grandfather specifically told me that our family will encounter difficulties in the future, so we can just ask the imperial concubine... go there with great fanfare, don't be shy!"

Gu Zhen frowned: "Grandfather, what does this mean?"

"..." Mrs. Zhaowu looked at her daughter speechlessly, and said in her heart, "You... don't you understand? Since your majesty wants to plan for the future of the concubine, mother and child, what is the best way? Let the concubine be kind to our family ! And it’s the kind of kindness that everyone in the world knows! In this way...you are the head of the family, even if you think about the concubine’s domineering and rudeness now, if you want to deal with their mother and child, you have to weigh the mouths of the world!"

The voice lowered, "Our family decided not to train the soldiers of the Dingbei Army to the dead. Your father has been stationed in the border for many years, and it is not a bragging name. If other people do this, can he not notice the clue? You Although my father doesn't tell us those serious things, he tells your grandfather everything. After all, he is far away on the border, and the affairs of the court are all handled by your grandfather. Your grandfather insists that he doesn't know anything... Then you Said, in the whole world, who can hide the truth from your father and grandfather, train the soldiers of the Dingbei Army to become dead soldiers, and expose the famous families in the imperial capital, who else?!"

Gu Zhen finally came back to his senses, and lost his voice: "Mother means, Your Majesty?!"

"Your grandfather only gradually came to terms with it in the past two days." Mrs. Zhao Wu sighed wearily, and said, "At first he suspected the remnants of the Ji family, but think about it, can the remnants of the Ji family be targeted at our family? Furthermore, is there any benefit for the remnants of the Ji family to do so?"

Today's Ji family is not the time when the previous family had a great career, and it has become a remnant. Even if these people are determined to Ji's will, they have to save it, right?

Therefore, after careful analysis by Mrs. Gu, the possibility of remnants of the Ji family was ruled out. Others... the regent was also very suspicious. The Gu family directly sided with Chunjia.

From the perspective of Gongxiang Ruoji, there is no doubt that he and his henchmen are qualified to target Gu.

The problem is, the regent is cold! Of his two sons, one is notoriously unfavored, and the other is only so young and has been hiding in the palace! His henchmen were dragged out by Chun Jia as a shield after the palace change, and they were messed up!

With such a group of dragons without a leader, how can they still do things like this?

Mrs. Gu felt that the possibility, even if possible, was not high.

So the only remaining suspect is Chunjia.

On the surface, the emperor is bright and bright, but in private, he is also quick to shout and catch the thief.

And considering that Chunjia wants to plan for the imperial concubine for a long time, then really, the most suspicious person is Chunjia herself...

For Mrs. Gu, they didn't have a good impression of Yun Fenghuang at first. This kind of forced grace is really... But there is no way, Chunjia's position is now stable, and he can say what he means, whether the minister is happy or not Forget it, if you don't want the whole family to be cool, you have to obey.

I can only remind the queen that she is ready to cooperate with the emperor and promote Concubine Min to the role of the great benefactor of the Gu clan.

After listening to Mrs. Zhao Wubo's explanation, Gu Zhen felt like...

She resisted the urge to vomit blood and said: "If Your Majesty really thinks about the noble concubine, he should restrain the noble concubine's words and deeds. If the noble concubine behaves well, why should I target her?!"

"Who told His Majesty to like her? Now that His Majesty is in the prime of life, you let him be careful with his favorite concubine... Not to mention that I don't think His Majesty likes that petty concubine, what does it mean to say that? Mrs. Uncle Zhaowu said speechlessly, "It seems that His Majesty can't protect your favorite concubine right now? Empress, please don't reveal such meaning in front of Your Majesty! Even if we speculate that Your Majesty wants to let the noble concubine show favor, Don't let it out! Otherwise, you may offend His Majesty!"

After a pause, she continued, "It's not just about our family, it's about Zheng Gu's death...Zheng Fengfeng has been asking the bottom line until now, but he is His Royal Highness Yun'an's son-in-law. Look at the government and the public, it's so vigorous, what's the result so far? ?"

Gu Zhen was taken aback: "Could it be possible that Zheng Gu was also responsible for His Majesty?!"

"It's hard to say..." Madam Zhaowu sighed, "It's just that your grandfather thinks that His Majesty has a deep mind, and although he is young, he is far-sighted, which is not something that the courtiers can easily guess... If Zheng Gu's death has nothing to do with His Majesty For His Royal Highness Yun'an's face, His Majesty should give a definite explanation, right? But according to your grandfather's observation, His Majesty did not ask the Imperial City Secretary to investigate Zheng Gu's death at all recently, but secretly investigated those who followed him. Zheng Fengfeng asked all the officials to conduct a thorough investigation. It's really hard to say what will happen next. In short, our family is now, first of all, pretending to be confused, and secondly, trying to be docile and sensible. Don't let His Majesty feel bored... As long as His Majesty immediately With a firm heart, any favorite concubine is just a momentary grievance."

After Gu Zhen becomes the empress dowager, he will settle the accounts slowly.

It doesn't matter even if everyone Chunjia messes with Yun Fenghuang knows that they treat Gu Shi like a reborn parent.

Old Mrs. Gu had already confessed quietly in the mansion, with the power in his hands, what's wrong with turning black and white?

The Ji family is a clear example. How long did it take for the family to be destroyed? The emperor hinted, isn't it just a quick reputation?

Chunjia was in one day, and they had to listen.

After Chunjia left, the noble concubine, mother and son lost their support, so they might not be able to take care of the mere concubine and vassal king?

... Yun Fenghuang didn't know that in Gu's eyes, Chunjia was already worrying about the future of her mother and child, and she was having a headache trying to coax Zhaoqing.

The reason is the new companion Wei Zhizhi.

In all fairness, Wei Zhizhi's impression of Yun Fenghuang is very good, she looks well-behaved and lovable, not very beautiful but she is white and smiles often, when she smiles, her cheeks are deeply dimpled, revealing the pure sweetness unique to this young girl.

And his temperament is also well-behaved and lively, the kind that is not annoying, but just innocent and lively.

Yun Fenghuang felt satisfied after palming her eyes, and summoned Zhaoqing to ask her what she meant. Zhaoqing also thought it was okay at first, but who knows, after leading Wei Zhizhi down for a day and a night, he ran over angrily and expressed that he didn't want it anymore!

"Why is that?" The imperial concubine felt very surprised, "Didn't you say that Zhizhi was good yesterday?"

Zhaoqing said unhappily: "Yesterday was yesterday, today I don't like her! Concubine mother let her go, I don't want her! I still want to live forever!"

Yun Fenghuang frowned: "But, if you don't want someone, there must be a reason, right? Otherwise, how uncomfortable and embarrassing it would be for Zhizhi to go back? Besides, your concubine Demu doesn't look good. I like you so much, every time your third sister has something, I will never forget you. This Zhizhi is your concubine Demu's favorite niece. I heard that I want to accompany you, so I sent it here specially. There is no one at the moment How sad is it to send people back if you say so?"

Although Zhao Qing has always been pampered, but in front of Yun Fenghuang, he has always been willing to reason.

But this time I don't know why, no matter how much I ask her, she refuses to tell, but insists on letting Wei Zhizhi leave.

When he was in a hurry, he wiped his tears and asked Yun Fenghuang if he didn't feel sorry for her anymore?

Otherwise, why would we need a reason to drive away a Wei Zhizhi?

Yun Fenghuang: "..."

This is really a feng shui turn, the tricks she used to use on Chunjia in the past, these little bastards under her knees, one by one, the retribution came to her one by one?

Zhaoqing made it clear that he was arrogant because of favors, Yun Fenghuang weighed it up, and felt that Wei Zhizhi was not enough to cause her and her heirs to quarrel, so he had to agree: "It will be done, little ancestor, what's the big deal? Just say it well, why are you crying? There is no need to make mother and concubine feel bad."

She endured her irritability, wiped Zhao Qing's face with a handkerchief, coaxed her again, and sent her off when Zhao Qing burst into laughter, and then ordered someone to pass Xie Ao on.
