Chapter 305 Gu Li

"For so many years, Concubine An's method of cleaning up the concubines is just a few hands back and forth. She is not tired of it, but the people in this palace are all tired of looking at it." At the end of the day, she finally became a little smarter. It's just that it's too late to realize it now. It's just to vent out some newcomers from a poor family. Originally, since His Majesty didn't protect these people, he didn't expect them to be in the palace. What kind of troubles are caused... Concubine An's doing this will only make His Majesty hate her even more."

She thought in her heart that if Concubine An had done the same thing when Yun Fenghuang first entered the palace, would Yun Fenghuang be able to get mixed up so quickly?

You must know that at that time, although many people were not angry about a noble girl entering the palace, they taught a fake noble girl to take the lead, but it was precisely because they were noble girls that they had the support of their father and brother behind them, and there were even sisters who took the lead. After entering the palace, she was already a concubine, so she was not happy about Yun Fenghuang taking the lead, but she didn't say that she had to target her and kill her. At that time, no one thought that Chunjia would take over the government so quickly, and then the Ji family was defeated like a mountain. According to the environment of Chunjia's early harem, the noble ladies were more peaceful than each other. Small cleverness like Yun Fenghuang can catch up.

Therefore, even if he was hostile towards Yun Fenghuang, for example, Wei Hengyan had argued with Yun Fenghuang in public, but he really didn't have the urge to tear his face and use ruthless hands.

But if Concubine An had done this in the first place and forced everyone to target Yun Fenghuang in a different way, how could Yun Fenghuang's life be easier?

No matter how cunning she is, she has no foundation when she first enters the palace, and she can't beat four hands with two fists.

In this way, these old people like myself may not wither away one after another...

Cui Lianye didn't dare to express his thoughts, and only sighed again.

Among the imperial confinement, there are only a handful of old people who have entered the palace since Chunjia's big wedding. Most of the concubines did not have such emotion as Concubine Shu, but they watched the bustle of Huzhu Palace with great interest, and there were even young and The good concubine even started a gamble in private...

When the queen found out, she couldn't laugh or cry, and was also a little melancholy: "At that time, it was an open secret that Concubine An oppressed the concubine. If it hadn't been for the kind mother, the empress dowager, and His Majesty to help cover it up, Ji would have caught her and dealt with it. I heard that at that time, His Majesty actually I also disapprove of her always killing innocent people indiscriminately, so I have persuaded her many times in private, and even turned her face off... But Concubine An has that temperament. No matter how His Majesty coaxes or persuades her, she will do her own way. Now His Majesty doesn't care about her, but he won't try to persuade her either."

Chunjia really didn't try to persuade Concubine An.

In fact, the Son of Heaven knew that Concubine An had sent all eight of the newcomers to the Huzhu Palace, so he just shook his head slightly, and then he didn't mention Wen Mingcui and others, obviously he had given up on these people.

Therefore, in the next few days, Liugong really watched a lot of excitement.

To everyone's surprise, Wen Mingcui, who had always been strong in Taichu Palace, was the first to be eliminated.

"But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully." The noble concubine said to the concubine De who came to talk about this matter, "When the big Wen family and the little Wen family were in front of His Majesty, they pretended to be at odds and deceived many people, because Concubine An almost killed her." The big Wen family exposed the real relationship between them. The others are not stupid, the two Wen families came from the same place, and it was not normal to get together, but they pretended that fire and water were incompatible in front of the imperial court. Who is it pretending to be for? It can’t be His Majesty. Your Majesty doesn’t like concubines always making trouble. It must be prepared for the future. Such a deep-minded newcomer, I feel that I have to be the first to get rid of it before I can rest assured. Others Can people think otherwise?"

Concubine De also understands this truth, but in order to flatter the concubine, she naturally pretends that she doesn't know this or that, coaxing the concubine to analyze each of them one by one, and said with a smile: "It's still my sister who is smart and talks a few words. I understand. I was confused before, and felt that the newcomer went to the Huzhu Palace, so maybe he was as confused as the head of the Huzhu Palace?"

After Wen Mingcui was eliminated, Wen Shijiang was next.

These two are purely the result of being besieged by the other six people. After such a thing, the other six newcomers have to be defensive no matter how naive they are.

Perhaps it was for this reason that they were deadlocked for a while. Although they fought each other once, they appeared to be evenly matched.

The concubines looked cheerful, so that when they greeted the queen, the topic revolved around it.

Yun Fenghuang felt that this scene was very familiar, but later he remembered that when he first entered the palace, the people of the Empress Yuan seemed to have similar expressions and behaviors when they watched her tear up Yuan Niangniang.

After all these years, it was finally her turn to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch the situation change.

However, the weight of the newcomers is limited after all, although it has been hotly discussed, the high-ranking people are still concerned about Uncle Zhao Wu's disposal.

After all, everyone knows how the empress came to power. The emperor's attitude towards Uncle Zhaowu directly determines Gu Zhen's future, or in other words, indirectly determines the candidate for the heir apparent.

Time flies by, and soon it is early summer, and one person is eliminated from the contest of concubines in the Huzhu Palace, but it is Si Zhan who was forced to commit suicide by Concubine An before... Everyone thought that she must die , who knew that this newcomer looked weak and immature, but endured it for several days before he died unwillingly.

The people watched with interest, and then heard the thunder from the previous court: Gu Li, the grandson of Uncle Zhaowu and the queen's nephew, was bewildered by Wei He, and actually assassinated the deputy general who was the interim commander-in-chief, and falsely passed on Gu Fang The life of the tree, forcibly integrating the Dingbei Army, turned against them, and attacked Yanzhou!

Liugong was at a loss for a moment when he heard the news clearly.

It was because Gu Li actually had no reason to do so!

He is the eldest grandson of Gu Fangshu's lineage, and he was destined to be treated solemnly by the elders from birth.

Since Gu Fangshu's eldest son was not outstanding, Uncle Zhao Wu, who had just entered his prime at that time, devoted his hopes to his grandchildren. Although painstakingly cultivated until later, he found that the eldest grandson is actually just a middle-aged person, but fortunately, the younger brothers are not particularly outstanding, and they still cannot shake his position.

In any case, Gu Li is one of the most valued members of the Gu family.

Before Gu Zhen made her queen, her status was not as good as this nephew.

Although it is said that the Gu family has gone from bad to worse in the past two years, and the future is uncertain, after all, the emperor has not done anything to the Gu family, nor has he done anything to the queen, the ten princes and the twelve princes. People can't understand!

Especially his biggest backer, Gu Fangshu, is right now in the imperial capital, under the eyes of the emperor!

Yun Fenghuang even suspected that Gu Li was not bewitched by Wei He, but by Chunjia!

It is to let the emperor get a legitimate chance to kill the commander who has been stationed in the frontier for many years!

Otherwise, is Gu Li crazy? !

It’s just that Gu Li’er is not crazy, but the queen almost went crazy. After receiving the news, she rushed to the emperor and explained to the emperor: “Although Li’er is stupid, he will never do such a crazy thing. Your Majesty is aware of the details, and returned Li'er's innocence, and also my Gu family..."

Based on her understanding of her nephew, the queen dared to take Xiang Shang's head as a guarantee for Gu Li.

However, before he finished speaking at this moment, Chunjia interrupted coldly: "The fact is that the Dingbei Army sent troops with Uncle Zhaowu to counterattack Yanzhou City!"

"Your Majesty, this concubine thinks that Li'er might be deceived by a traitor..." The queen subconsciously continued to excuse her nephew. Halfway through her words, she caught the emperor's cold gaze and suddenly woke up: for the emperor, the point may not be Yanzhou City was attacked, but why would the Dingbei Army, who followed Uncle Zhao Wu, be willing to rebel with Gu Li? ? ?

what does that mean?

It means that at least the Dingbei Army who sent troops with Uncle Zhaowu is loyal to Gu Fangshu and not to the court!

The problem is that over the years, although Uncle Zhaowu has been stationed at the border, the supply of Dingbei Army has always been provided by the imperial court!

Which emperor can bear this?

Gu Zhen opened his mouth as if falling into an ice cellar, and wanted to find some reason for his family, but he couldn't think of any reason... In a trance, he only heard the emperor's soft order: "Send the queen back to the sixth palace. I've been a bit busy for a few days, let the queen just rest in the harem, so she doesn't have to come to the court to disturb me."

After she went back, Liu Gong didn't fall ill unexpectedly.

After Yun Fenghuang heard the news, he went to make a statement in the name of visiting, but he was also very speechless when he learned what had happened.

"I also ask the noble concubine to speak a few words of justice for Li'er." Gu Zhen was at a loss what to do now, and even regarded her as a life-saving straw, holding Yun Fenghuang's hand, begging bitterly, "That nephew of my palace is my son. Gong watched him grow up, he is definitely not a person who betrays his family and country, there must be a misunderstanding!"

"My concubine thinks so too." Yun Fenghuang's thoughts flashed, and he said, "Just don't worry, your majesty. You see, His Majesty just asked you to come back and not to bother you, but he didn't say anything else. It can be seen that Your Majesty I also have doubts in my heart. You might as well take a good rest and wait for the follow-up news. Maybe, General Gu thought that doing this was to be loyal to the country! After all, there are many things and many words that are passed on and passed on. It's changed, isn't it?"

She was always eloquent, and although the queen was unlikely to be able to relax completely with a few words, she was somewhat relieved, and after thanking her repeatedly, she reluctantly let her go.

On the way back to the Huanhua Palace, the Qing people couldn't help but said: "The queen is really... what confusion is there to make her nephew do something that betrays his family and country? It must be that Gu Li's mind is not right!"

After all, the people of the Qing Dynasty always hoped that the queen would step down and the noble concubine would be on the throne. Now that something like this happened to the Gu family, she was of course gloating about it.

"Not necessarily. For example, if Gu Li thinks that the whole family has been tricked by the court and only he is still alive, then it would be interesting to take his subordinates to attack Yanzhou City." Yun Fenghuang was startled when he said this, and suddenly said , "The Dingbei Army has been stationed in Yanzhou for many years, Gu Li is the eldest grandson of Gu Fangshu, and his father is the officially registered son... How did Yanzhou City survive?"

Because Uncle Zhaowu was summoned to return to the court, although the emperor's attitude has been ambiguous so far, he has no intention of targeting.

Ordinarily, if Gu Li wanted to do something to Yanzhou City, he didn't need to attack at all... He just led his troops into the city to rest, wouldn't there be someone stopping him? !

After entering the city, the events of Shumen Shulu, even if Jingninghou is old and hot, Yanzhou is the old nest of Dingbei Army, how long has Jingninghou been there? But it may not be able to hold back!

Even if the situation is stabilized in the end, I'm afraid it will be a mess for a while.

But this Gu Li...

I heard from the news that he was attacking Yanzhou City? This means that it has not been captured, this...? ? ?

Yun Fenghuang frowned, and asked Chen Jing, "It's a good idea to check some details. No matter how mediocre the descendants of Uncle Zhaowu are, how could it be possible that they are so substandard?"

Then the Gu family is not a problem of having no successors, but a succession of inhumans, how stupid is this?

Back in the palace, Yun Fenghuang thought about what he should do next.

Ordinarily, since the thorn in the side of the queen is in trouble, she should step up and step on it.

But now that there are flaws in Gu Li's affairs, and she has just begun to change her personality to be gentle and gentle, she thinks twice, and finally decides to continue to go to the emperor with the posture of seeing the truth in the midst of adversity. The queen intercedes.
