Chapter 326 Concealment

"Don't worry, ma'am, Madam and the others are auspicious people, and they will be fine." After Xie Wuzheng left, Qingren waited for the servants to rush up to comfort him, holding his breath, "Furthermore, the servant girl listened to the old man at home. As I mentioned before, it is not that the city gates of Huizhou were not exploited back then. How could the army and the people not guard against it? No matter how deep and powerful the Ji family is, it has been destroyed in the end. Now, some of the remaining evils are, after all, rootless and sourceless The water of water cannot last long."

Yun Fenghuang's face was gloomy, and he taught several young waiters to go out first, leaving only one of the Qing people, and then said in a cold voice: "Ninth brother Zhida is not talented, and the son-in-law is also young and ignorant. These two people only want to take Ji Ming down. I don’t think about other things after Gan’s credit at all... I don’t even think about it. This person was personally named by His Majesty. The Imperial City Secretary has been the emperor’s eyes and ears all these years. How come he really has nothing to do? Why didn’t the Imperial City Secretary catch the person? But they can have clues, and they happened to appear in Huizhou so coincidentally?! Although the ninth brother and the son-in-law are greedy, they are not completely blind! If they find that Ji Minggan’s place is not in Huizhou but other places, they will try to hide it. Do you deserve this credit?"

The Qing people opened their mouths and were speechless for a while.

This is of course impossible.

It's not that Xie Heng and Xie Wuzheng don't know about Ji Minggan's difficulty, but Huizhou is where the Xie family's ancestral home is, with many clansmen and great influence.

Even in the face of Ji Minggan, who even the Secretary of the Imperial City has repeatedly fallen into the sand, they still have confidence.

How could the two brothers be greedy for credit in a different place?

"Ji Minggan should have disclosed this news to them, and the purpose is to use them, erase traces, and buy time." Yun Fenghuang closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said decisively, "Other courtiers don't have the guts! After all, we all know that His Majesty personally named the person, who would dare to delay the arrest? The two brothers of this palace are not out of sight at all, and I am sure that this palace will deal with them!"

The people of the Qing Dynasty were startled and said, "Your Majesty, the madam and the others are now...couldn't it be..."

She was a little afraid to go on.

But Yun Fenghuang calmed down a bit, and said slowly: "If that's the case, mother and the others may not have an accident."

After a pause, she said, "After all, at least for now, this palace is still favored by His Majesty. If Ji Minggan shows up in person as a bait, it is to plot against Mrs. Xie. In the end, many things will inevitably fall on this palace. Then My biological parents, direct brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and other close relatives, he should always keep them as hostages, instead of allowing the rebels to slaughter wantonly!"

That's a valuable benefit.

Even if it is an enemy, he is reluctant to vent his anger at will.

The Qing people listened, but they still couldn't feel relieved, and worried: "I'm afraid that Ji Minggan's plot is wrong, and the request he made will definitely harm the empress!"

She didn't need to say this, Yun Fenghuang knew it too.

But in her opinion, Jiang's safety is the most important thing.

As for the conditions that Ji Minggan threatened were too outrageous, after all, there was still room for negotiation.

Otherwise, in the chaos, Xie would be gone if she said no, who would she cry with?

Even if she cries with Chunjia and wins the emperor's sympathy, even if she is willing to send troops to avenge her, those who are gone will never come back.

Although Yun Fenghuang couldn't say that she was devoted to repaying the Xie family, the family that gave birth to her, even though there had been some quarrels, had a harmonious relationship on the whole. She used and guarded against the Xie family, but she was determined not to want such a big family What are the three long and two short.

"The key is that Ji Minggan appeared in Huizhou in person...why?" Waved his hand to make the Qing people calm down, Yun Fenghuang thought quickly, if what happened to Ji Minggan was just an accident, with Huizhou's conditions, It is very difficult to be breached from time to time, and the parents and clan are probably safe, which is of course the best; if the remnants of the Ji family really have arrangements in Huizhou City, then Huizhou will probably not be able to keep it, after all, the siege is too abrupt . In this way, Xie expected to rely on the relationship with Yun Fenghuang, not to mention all, but the possibility of most people being saved is relatively high.

So the only chance right now to win the initiative, or not to be completely passive after taking down Jiang and others from Ji Minggan's side, is to figure out Ji Minggan's purpose and preemptively restrict it.

Otherwise, for the safety of the Jiang family and the others, Yun Fenghuang would have no choice but to give and take!

Although she claims to be courageous and courageous, she is not indecisive and soft-hearted like ordinary women, but other people are fine. Facing the Jiang family who taught and defended her from childhood to adulthood, and broke up with the entire Xie family after Xie Fenghuan's accident, she also wanted to plan for her daughter's future. , she really couldn't do it to give up on this mother.

Yun Fenghuang recalled Ji Minggan's situation. To be honest, she didn't know much about the former emperor's companion.

At the earliest time, she felt that this was a young son of the noble family who was spoiled by the Ji family, and he dared to be contemptuous in the face of the admiration of the only princess born in the dynasty. Afterwards... as the battle between Chunjia and the VIPs of the Ji family intensified, Ji Minggan became more and more inconspicuous. When the Ji family fell, the whole country was in an uproar over the fate of Lord Ye, Marquis of Haixi, Marquis of Minyang and others, and no one specifically mentioned Ji Minggan. After all, the Ji family had many heirs, and Ji Minggan was young at the time. Although he was considered an important person in the clan, it was mainly because of his status as the son of Haixihou. As for his talent and ability, he did not show it at all.

After the floods in the south, the remnants of the Ji family re-entered the court's attention.

Ji Minggan's fraudulent death was discovered...the emperor began to pay attention to him.

There are many descendants of the Ji family. Under the circumstances at that time, they did not protect the other children to escape, but arranged for Ji Minggan to survive with a broken arm. Maybe he was lucky, maybe he was favored, but more likely, he had It is unique in that it can undertake Ji's revenge or continuation.

Judging from Ji Minggan's series of actions, he is obviously more inclined to revenge.

So if you hold Jiang and others hostage and threaten Yunfenghuang, can't you let Yunfenghuang try to assassinate the emperor?

According to the grievances between the Ji family and the emperor, this is very possible, but if Ji Minggan is still a little sensible, he should know that doing this is too childish.

Chunjia dotes on Yunfenghuang, and is indeed not guarded against noble concubines, but these can't conceal that he is in the prime of life, and the emperor's civil and military skills are not something to brag about.

Even Yun Fenghuang had some riding and archery skills, and against this emperor who had worked hard, even if the emperor was defenseless, her chances of succeeding in the assassination were not very high.

The most important thing is that Yun Fenghuang has already given birth to the emperor's own Prince Jin.

In this case, the odds are not high that she would agree to regicide herself.

At least from Ji Minggan's side, the expectations are not too high.

Because I am alone, I may sacrifice myself for the sake of filial piety, but after having a child... Don't look at the 24th filial piety, and you can do everything when you are filial piety. You don't take your own flesh and blood seriously, but what those examples do can be recorded down? Is it because of the scarcity?

Most people do what they do to their elders for the sake of their own flesh and blood.

It's fine if Yun Fenghuang doesn't have his own flesh and blood, but since he has, Ji Minggan's side probably won't force him too much.

Because the Xie family is not a high-ranking family, the value of Yun Fenghuang is mostly blood and blood, but not much in terms of benefits. Isn't it a waste of time?

"Ji Minggan's hatred for His Majesty is inevitable... If I didn't want me to kill the king, what would I want me to do? Would I let me help the king? Is this impossible?" At this moment, the concubine was thinking. , "After all, my mother and son are rich and noble, and even the safety is on His Majesty. Unless I disregard myself and King Jin for the sake of my parents and family, there is absolutely no way I will agree to him!"

If it wasn't for Chunjia's protection, let's not say anything else, just say that Queen Gu Zhen, who is still polite to him these days, might be the first one to kill her for safety!

And she is gone, Jin Wang is only so big, no one to protect him, what is the possibility of growing up safely? Besides, the queen is just not good at intrigue, so she can't be too soft-hearted if she is to say, the daughter of a general, when she should be ruthless, she will not give up too much. If the queen kills her, can she prevent King Jin from revenge when he grows up?

It must be to send the mother and son on the road together.

Therefore, if Ji Minggan hadn't lost his mind, this kind of condition could at most be raised as a bargaining chip, so it is impossible to expect her to be so stupid.

She doesn't look like the kind of filial daughter who is desperate, doesn't she...

"Could it be that it's because of the third prince?" Yun Fenghuang thought about it, and suddenly thought, "I found out that the third prince was suspicious earlier in the morning, but I don't know if His Majesty has noticed... But even if His Majesty didn't find out before, After the Yanfu Palace was thoroughly inspected by the Imperial City Secretary, many people have been changed. Since His Majesty is worried about the Empress, I am afraid that he will have to devote a considerable amount of energy to personally watching the safety of the two princes. ...and the third prince is in the same palace as the two direct princes, unless the remnants of the Ji family don't care about the third prince, otherwise, it will be a matter of time before they are noticed..."

So, Ji Minggan was thinking of this point, so he wanted to blackmail himself, the concubine, to pave the way for the third prince?

Even cooperating with Yun Fenghuang inside and outside, arranged for the two princes who were born in the first place, and forced the queen and Gu to actively seek the possibility of establishing the third prince?

However, Yun Fenghuang felt that the empress might choose the third prince after the accident of the ten and twelve princes, but it was unlikely that the Gu family would nod, and so did Chunjia...

After all, the remnants of the Ji family have not yet been eradicated. Who knows who will get the best of the third prince?

She speculated for a long time, because of lack of understanding, she was really unable to determine Ji Minggan's intentions, and she didn't know the specific situation in Huizhou, so she didn't think much about it. Knowing that the important ministers had already resigned, they rushed over directly, and when they saw Chunjia, they fell to the ground and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, just now the concubine entered the palace and informed me that Huizhou City was besieged. They are all in the city! If there is a loss in Huizhou, I really dare not imagine the consequences! Please have mercy on Your Majesty, and order the Dingbei Army to send troops to the rescue!"

"Ah Huang, get up, I just found out about this, and I have ordered Zuo Jin to go to the rescue." Chun Jia was not surprised by her coming and this state of mind, sighed, put down the memorial that she had just opened, and said softly Said, "Besides, the number of soldiers and horses that invaded this time is not too many, the officials of Huizhou are not bad in their annual examinations, and Cui Wan also said that they are quite capable people, so there may be no mistakes."

Yun Fenghuang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, hesitated for a while, did not mention Ji Minggan's matter, after all, the emperor is shrewd, no matter how euphemistic his words are, he can't see the real intentions of Xie Heng and Xie Wuzheng?

At that time, even if the emperor didn't say anything for his own sake, he would definitely have a bad impression on Xie Heng and the others.

If Chunjia just rejected Xie Heng, that's fine. The ninth brother has not made a name for himself since he became an official. If he wants to rise to the top, there is a high probability of being used. Yun Fenghuang has no hope for him. But even if Xie Wuzheng didn't treat her wholeheartedly, he could still save her. Finally, the emperor let go of his mouth and let the brother-in-law return to court, and even said that he would send him out. Now that he said this, maybe the emperor would go back on his word?

At that time, wouldn't it cut off the way for my brothers to make progress?

So the imperial concubine just sobbed and told her worries about her parents and family, and after being comforted by the emperor, she retreated sobbing.

Back at Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang sent someone from the Qing Dynasty to personally deliver a message to Xie Wuzheng: "Tell him, he doesn't know anything about Ji Minggan! If the emperor or anyone outside asks, they will all know." It's Brother Nine's own thoughts, it has nothing to do with the son-in-law or this Palace!"

It's best that Chunjia doesn't know anything, but if Chunjia knows, someone has to come out and take responsibility.

In the eyes of the imperial concubine, the most suitable person to take the blame now is of course Xie Heng, who was originally the instigator.

After a pause, she continued, "Send a message to Brother Nine... I will treat Kuo'er well."

The implication is that when necessary, let Xie Heng be an abandoned son honestly, and don't drag his younger siblings into the water just because he is not good.

He is honest and honest, at least he can protect his daughter-in-law a good future. Even if Xie Heng himself suffers, Xie Kuo will always be able to take care of his brothers when he grows up; end!
