Two Hundred and Seventieth Chapters Sibling Dispute

In fact, Gu Zhen did not expect that the one who can make the emperor so cautious and sneaky in such a huge harem is the imperial concubine.

But because she didn't know the inside story, she couldn't imagine that the emperor temporarily dragged her out to cover the vat in order not to hurt the noble concubine's face. Now she just wanted to tell the lie to Yuan. move closer.

According to the noble concubine's attitude of being generous to her subordinates, she should not object to this matter.

So why should the emperor be careful?

Back then, when the imperial concubine herself was still a virtuous concubine, she recommended Wei Hengyan to be the concubine virtuous.

What's more, she is now second only to the queen, so what if Cui Lianye is promoted again?

Back then when Yun Fenghuang first proposed to be promoted to the Sixth Palace, he had hinted to several high positions that the high positions in the palace were vacant, so instead of letting young and beautiful newcomers stand out, why not arrange for some unfavored, old and decrepit people? An old man with no heirs is in power? In this way, he not only won the reputation of emphasizing love and justice, but also suppressed later generations from the side.

Recently, both Concubine Shu and Concubine have vacancies. It is not normal for Yun Fenghuang to support Mrs. Qing Shu... So the queen thought about it, and still thought that this matter had something to do with the previous dynasty.

As for why the imperial attendant quietly came to pass on the message, it must be because Cui Wan did not do it properly. In order to prevent outsiders from discussing it after knowing it, which would hinder Shengyu, shouldn't it be hidden?

So Gu Zhen asked the subordinates to arrange the matter in a very complicated mood, while he hurriedly asked his mother, Mrs. Zhao Wubo, to come into the palace to talk: "Mother, do you think I should go to the imperial concubine's place now, so as not to After my father came back, he was criticized, so it’s too late to entrust him?”

"Your grandfather thought about it, and said that His Majesty would not do anything to your father, at most he would pretend." Mrs. Zhao Wubo was actually a little worried in her heart, but she still said, "This time, the main thing is to let the The noble concubine is a good person, it doesn't matter if you go early or go later, anyway, the result will be the same, but why bother to check your face in advance?"

Gu Zhen said worriedly: "Then if the imperial concubine gets slanderous, Your Majesty will listen to her, and will you lay a poisonous hand on our family?"

"How is it possible? Among the famous families nowadays, which one is more reassuring to His Majesty than ours?" Madam Zhaowu shook her head and said rather bitterly, "The population is prosperous but there is no outstanding talent. Your father and uncle are ordinary people, and they will inevitably decline in the future... Not to mention that His Majesty will not rely on my Gu family like His Majesty Emperor Shenzong relied on Ji's family. Even so, do you think our family can have a family like Minyang Hou, Duke of Ye State? Talents, control the government?"

The power of the government and the public also requires means, not to say that with the emperor's trust and support, it will be a matter of course.

Some foreign relatives in the previous dynasty, although relying on the favor of the harem, were high and powerful, but they were controlled by their subordinates. indivual.

"Why is your empress suddenly worried? Could it be that she heard something in the palace?" Madam Zhaowu calmed down and asked again, "Otherwise, didn't we say it last time? Hold on for now and wait until later... Just take it easy."

Gu Zhen frowned and said: "I suspect that the fate of the Zheng family this time has something to do with the Cui family. Just now, your majesty quietly, really quietly, sent someone to explain to me, and asked me to support all the old people in Liugong , especially don't forget Cui Lianye!"

Mrs. Zhao Wubo was quite surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Because she didn't know the whole picture, she asked about the details at this moment, and seeing that Gu Zhen said it in detail... Gu Zhen was preconceived, and there were subconscious deviations in the statement. Mrs. Zhao Wubo frowned and said, "Our family is not the same as the Zheng family. Not the same, then Zheng Gu is an eunuch, even if he was once a great general of hussars, he is a slave for one day and will be a servant for life. He was born as a slave of the Gongxiang clan, and he can occupy a high position, as His Majesty said in the temple, That was all the kindness given by the royal family! The result? When Jishi threatened Xiaozong and emptied Jinshang, did he say anything and do anything? Not only did he not stand up to help the emperor, but he seized the opportunity to seize power... let alone His Majesty When Mingjun is here, even if Xiaozong is replaced, if he lives a few more years, I'm afraid he won't let him go!"

"So even if His Majesty has been in a hurry to give in after he came to power, but, if you think about the Zheng Fengdi case, it was said that he misunderstood Zheng Fengdi, but who of us still don't know the truth?"

"Zheng Ju himself knows that his birth is doomed that His Majesty will not let him go easily..."

Mrs. Uncle Zhaowu lowered her voice, "How can I say that Your Majesty is wise and mighty? If it was other promises and overtures, Zheng Ju would not have believed it, and it was even possible that he directly voted for the Ji family or the regent... But Your Majesty Promise His Royal Highness Princess Yun'an to Zheng Fengli!"

This sincerity moved Zheng Gu.

Because Princess Yun'an, as the blood of Xiaozong, tacitly agreed that Chunjia should treat her favorably.

Then, as Yun'an's husband's family, even if Chunjia didn't give extra favors, how could it be impossible for the Zheng family to fall into the same situation as the Ji family?

Therefore, Zheng Ju felt relieved and doubled his sincerity to Chunjia, and then there was a palace change, and then Zheng's family was logical, and Hefu was imprisoned.

Gu Zhen was reminded by his mother, now recalling what happened to the Zheng family, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, subconsciously said: "Mother, what happened in the palace...is it really the remnants of the Ji family, or is it?"

In order to deal with the Zheng family, the emperor called for a thief?

Thinking more deeply, how many accidents did the palace change cause? The fall of the two empress dowagers and the twelve princes, the repetition of the old story about the foolish king of Chu, the life experience of the eighth prince, the noble concubine... Did these really happen by coincidence, or were they expected by the emperor early in the morning?

"Who knows?" Madam Zhaowu sighed, "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable... even your grandfather can't be sure, let alone you and me?"

Seeing her daughter's pale complexion, she thought for a while, and finally said, "Your Majesty probably didn't do it. After all, the regent didn't have one last year. Now he's out of the palace, and if it's spread, His Majesty is ashamed..."

Yes, the current courtiers and their family members feel that whether the emperor does something or not depends not on his conscience, but on the pros and cons.

Because Chunjia really doesn't have much conscience...

In the eyes of Mrs. Zhao Wubo, a middle-aged lady whose children have grown up, Chunjia is particularly heartless.

After all, the way he treats the two empress dowagers, it is hard not to let Mrs. Zhao Wubo and others treat themselves and others. If his own son is like this, he can't wait to throw him out of the house early in the morning and let him fend for himself.

"In short, the current situation is all within His Majesty's plan, and it is no longer something that we courtiers can change or control." Mrs. Zhaowu said with some resignation and resignation, "Don't think too much, anyway, everything is waiting for your father. Let's talk when we get back. Your grandfather hasn't been idle for the past two days. He has been running around to prepare for your father's return to the court to defend himself. Our family has been with you for many years, and we have never done anything to apologize to Your Majesty. The matter... as long as His Majesty is reasonable, it is expected that there will be no danger."

It's just that military power is impossible.

According to Mrs. Gu's speculation, the best outcome for the Gu family would be that after Gu Fangshu came back, she would let the imperial concubine sell her favors, and then be left in the court to "entrust with important tasks".

Dingbei Army was taken over by the emperor's cronies, and from then on, the relationship with the Gu family gradually faded away, and finally the line was completely drawn.

Although this result is a bit depressing for Gu Shi, but...

Nor is it unacceptable.

In fact, Mrs. Gu thinks this is not bad, after all, the Gu family has no successors now, and after Uncle Zhao Wu, there is no one who can take over the Dingbei Army.

Moreover, since ancient times, courtiers with military power often have bad lives.

People like them who think about wealth and longevity without turning their backs... It would be more comfortable to think about it.

... Gu Zhen closed the door with Mrs. Zhao Wu and whispered for a long time before sending her mother away with a heavy heart.

Mrs. Uncle Zhaowu had just left, when she heard that the third prince had come to pay her respects, the empress rallied and ordered someone to let him in, but seeing that the son was behaving strangely, she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with Bing'er?"

"It's nothing, I accidentally knocked on it just now." The third prince glanced at his left leg, and said calmly, "Just now, the palace servants have massaged it with medicated oil, and it will be fine when you turn around."

The queen frowned, but she didn't ask after all. She asked him about his recent studies, and when she found out that everything was fine, she sent him away. Finally, she called the people from the third prince's side to ask: "The third prince is coming to the palace today. At that time, the pace was a little unsteady, what's going on?"

The man reported with some panic: "If you go back to your mother, it is... Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing hit her by mistake."

Gu Zhen's complexion changed, and he subconsciously sat up straight: "Why did Zhaoqing beat Bing'er?!"

"...It seems that His Highness persuaded His Highness Princess Zhaoqing not to be greedy for cold, so as not to hurt her legs and feet." The man said with a wry smile, "Our Highness, out of kindness, occasionally listened to it from the riding and archery instructor. Remember, forward it to Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing...who knew that Her Highness Princess would not appreciate it?"

"..." Gu Zhen's expression was gloomy, and it took him a while to say, "Bing'er and Zhaoqing are still young, so it's inevitable that they don't think carefully about what they say and do. But that's why you guys are required to accompany you in and out. In the end, you will only What's the use of watching the excitement from the sidelines?!"

Afterwards, regardless of the man's begging for mercy, he directly ordered the man to be dragged down for disposal.

Then he slapped the table, and the whole set of tea sets trembled, his anger still lingered, and he said angrily, "This lowly maid... a bastard bred by Xuanqing Palace!!!"

He was also annoyed that the third prince was too upright, "Bing'er doesn't know what he thinks! Is it because their brothers have suffered from that low maid's hand since they were young and have suffered enough grievances? What do you have to catch up with?" Think about her! If she loves to be greedy, let her go! Anyway, the root cause of the disease will be turned around, so what should I do with my mother and son!!!”

The queen knew that it was impossible for her to seek justice for the third prince, because although the emperor revealed the truth that his love for the eldest son and daughter of the concubine was just that, but...he looked at the grown-up King Qin and Zhaoqing were not as good as the heirs he planned to be crown princes, but compared to ordinary heirs, they were definitely far superior.

Not to mention a child like the third prince who was not liked since childhood.

Especially when it comes to Zhaoqing's legs...

Even the empress didn't like to mention this matter, even if the third prince had good intentions, since Zhaoqing beat him because of this, even if there was a quarrel, the empress could still imagine the emperor's attitude.

Chunjia will definitely blame the queen for not teaching the third prince well, and even blame the third prince for not knowing how to love his sister, thinking that since the third prince has poked Zhaoqing's pain, so what if he is beaten? It's just that the leg is hurt a little bit. Can Zhaoqing's lame leg suffer?

"...Tell Bing'er more later." The queen was so angry that she couldn't go to the culprit to settle the score. She was too depressed, so she had to order her left and right, "Keep him away from the Xuanqing Palace! Especially Zhaoqing! "

Although this is the most beautiful heir under Chunjia's knees and the daughter that the queen has never had, the queen really doesn't like this princess!

In fact, Yun Fenghuang also felt a little troubled by Zhaoqing's temper this time.
