Chapter 333: My Heart Pleases You
Chunjia was clearly startled, then sighed, and said: "Ah Huang, it's not that I speak for Uncle Zhaowu, but... why did Gu Fangshu do this? To be honest, don't be angry, thank you Jian Why does it matter to a family like the Gu family? Why would he offend you? Besides, if he really wanted to put his thanks to him, why bother to agree to Wei He's request and negotiate? At that time, Dingbei The whole army is excited, and the Xie family is almost wiped out... Even if he refuses directly, in fact, the righteousness is not very good to blame him."
This is the truth, as a hostage Xie Jian, all his parents, brothers, nephews and nephews died in the hands of Wei He, at least on the surface.
He also couldn't open his mouth at that time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say the words of begging for mercy.
Otherwise, if it gets out, it will be for your own life to surrender to the murderer who killed the whole family, and you will lose your face in the future, and even implicate the remaining Xie family blood such as the imperial concubine.
"Because my concubine's body has changed so much over the years, even His Majesty is quite suspicious, let alone Mrs. Gu?" If you don't know the fault of the concubine, then you can only force the concubine to make mistakes! May I ask what else can cause the concubine's body to be in chaos, so that I don't care about it, and fight to the death with them? !"
"..." Chunjia's heart was shocked, and her complexion changed drastically.
He really did not expect this!
It's not that he is not as fine as Yunfenghuang, but that as the emperor, he has too many things to consider. Even if he has tried his best to pay attention to and take care of Yunfenghuang, it is impossible to put himself in the position of Yunfenghuang all the time.
Moreover, in Chunjia's mind, Gu Zhen's greatest protection in the Qingci Palace in the future lies in himself, not in sweeping the Six Palaces and killing the concubine!
If he disagrees, Gu Zhen and Gu Shi, even if all the other concubines and princes are killed, he can give Gu Zhen a glass of poisoned wine after the crown prince is established, and send Gu Zhen an accident like Ji's.
Therefore, everyone in the Gu family, including the empress, wanted to have a safe future, and should spend their minds on pleasing him, trying to understand him, and obeying him, not on noble concubines and the like.
The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Ah Huang, I don't think this is possible. You know the queen's temperament, she is not very intelligent, even if she thinks of such a poisonous plan, she has no ability to carry it out. As for Gu ... The old man Gu and Gu Fangshu, who are currently in charge of the Gu family, are sensible people. They are very clear about my intentions, and I prefer my son to be in charge of the East Palace. However, for you mother and son, I sincerely hope that you will continue to be prosperous in the future. Gu's father and son, there should be such a tacit understanding."
Yun Fenghuang tightly pursed his lips, feeling his heart sinking suddenly.
It's like falling into an ice cellar.
She regrets it.
She shouldn't be naive.
Yes, at this moment she didn't even bother to complain that Chunjia wasn't on her side.
But he thought, since he said these words, I am afraid that the emperor will pay attention to himself in the future, in case she targets the queen and takes revenge on the Gu family!
If I had known earlier, she shouldn't have said it!
Just now I pretended not to know that Xie Jianzhi died, why can't I continue to pretend that I don't have any grudges against Gu? ? ?
If Chunjia was not still in front of her, she really wanted to slap herself in the face!
"...But your doubts are not unreasonable." Chun Jia paused, and then said, "In this way, I will ask the Secretary of the Imperial City to pay attention to Uncle Zhaowu, if..."
He hesitated for a while, his eyes turned cold, he held Yun Fenghuang's hand instead, and said softly, "If Uncle Zhao Wu is really so cruel, I will not take sides, I will definitely give you an explanation, how about it?"
This is the truth.
After Chunjia betrayed his promise and appointed Gu Zhen as the new leader, besides thinking that Gu Zhen was incompetent and weak, he mainly felt that Gu Zhen was sensible and interesting.
But if Mrs. Gu is really as Yun Fenghuang said, superficially submissive to him, obedient and obedient, but secretly doing small tricks, even murdering the noble concubine's biological father, even if Chunjia is not for Yun Fenghuang, she will not Let this kind of family become descendants!
Who didn't know his love for Concubine Min Gui?
Now that they dare to kill Xie Jian, will they dare to directly kill the new king after he lets go and returns in the future? !
The Ji family can be regarded as a negative example of foreign relatives, but when the Ji family was in Shenzong's reign, how well-behaved and docile, the real pillar of the country!
How could Chunjia tolerate such duplicity in the future descendants?
However, Yun Fenghuang's hand held by him was as cold as her heart.
She laughed hysterically in her heart, thinking: Yes, you asked the Secretary of the Imperial City to pay attention to Uncle Zhaowu, so how about the truth? You said that he is innocent, you must have said that you have dealt with the aftermath. With the power and status of this palace and the current decline of the Xie family, is it possible to find evidence to overthrow it? !
"...I feel that I am so useless." Yun Fenghuang drooped her eyelashes and whispered softly, "As a daughter, I can't support the elders in their old age; as a concubine, I didn't take good care of Zhaoqing, her legs... As an aunt and three nieces, I have only found a home for Menger so far; as a concubine, I didn't serve His Majesty very well, but always dragged His Majesty down, and came to worry about my concubine!"
The emperor was pitying her, and he hurriedly said: "What did you say? What's the matter with Huizhou? It's your fault. I can't protect Li Shu under the rule! As for Xie Kuo Xie's marriage, left and right They are still young, wait until they are filial piety, and pick slowly. The girls you raised yourself, are you afraid that they will not have a good place? As for Zhaoqing, you are her mother and concubine, and I am her father. , she is handicapped, so I am not responsible? Besides, I have never been short of servants, so why do I need you to serve me personally?"
He softened his tone and said softly, "I am pleased with you...you don't have to think about it, I only regret that I failed to protect you and Mrs. Xie well."
"..." Yun Fenghuang didn't believe a word, but her face was still clear, and the tears she had endured for a long time fell silently. She raised her head slightly, looked at the emperor with a moving face, and said word by word, "How lucky is this concubine? Meet Your Majesty!!!"
If I had known today, even if I had slashed my face with scissors, jumped off the embroidery tower, and seduced Yun Qike to go to Duke Yi's mansion to engage in a house fight, I would never have set foot in your harem! ! !
The resentment in her heart was overwhelming, and she was really not in the mood to deal with Chunjia, and she was worried about being exposed, so she showed a tired look.
Seeing this, Chunjia really persuaded her to settle down, made the bed and tucked in the quilt herself, took care of her to lie down, and stayed by the couch for a while to see that her breathing gradually became even, before leaving quietly.
He didn't know what Yun Fenghuang was thinking, and he kept deliberating on the way ahead, but in the end he couldn't bear it, so he sat down after the imperial case, and ordered Yan Yin: "I told Xie Kuo and Xie Mi to find two ordinary husbands and sons-in-law earlier. Let's put it down, pick those with good backgrounds, good natures, and Wenggu who are easy to get along with, and find some to come up."
Yan Yin was startled, if only the other concubines helped her nephew find two rich husbands, that would be fine.
But the concubine...
He knew, however, that the reason why Chunjia personally intervened in Xie Kuo and Xie's marriage was to prevent the Xuanqing Palace from becoming too powerful, which would affect the Li Chu, and even affect the stability of the Gongxiang family.
Now that the emperor changed his mind on the first trip after he left, this...?
"The noble concubine is heartbroken, and I feel sorry for you." Chunjia sighed, and said, "Especially Xie Jian died, but Mrs. Jiang has not yet disappeared... When the noble concubine is at home, it is thanks to her biological mother to teach her to be with Mrs. Jiang." I'm afraid it's more profound than the relationship with my biological father! If Madam Jiang can find it back, that's all right. If she can't, how can the imperial concubine hold on? King Jin is still young, how can he leave his mother? Take care of the concubine? The two girls on the left and right, whoever you marry is not married, I will find a good marriage with them, and when the noble concubine knows about it, she will feel more at ease."
He had a hidden worry in his heart. To be honest, he would rather Mrs. Jiang be shot before the battle than Xie Jian.
Because Xie Jian is a man after all, even if he was not chased by Uncle Zhao Wu and taken captive to Wei He, it would be nothing if he was found back later.
The key point is that the Jiang family is a female family member, even if Wei He thinks that the rare goods can live in a courteous way to her, there may not be fewer discussions among the public.
At that time, for Yun Fenghuang, I'm afraid it will be another heart-pounding pain.
For this reason, Chunjia also had to break the rules she had set before, and leaned towards the imperial concubine.
He comforted himself, anyway, he was still young, and the emperor's heirs were also young.
Even if this move will cause hidden dangers in the future... Let's talk about it later, after the difficult situation when he became the throne at the beginning of the year, it doesn't make sense that now that he is in power, there will be no situation that he can't handle in the future.
But if you don't appease the imperial concubine now, what if the imperial concubine can't hold on?
He always thought that he would walk ahead of the imperial concubine, but he never thought that he would send away Yun Fenghuang at the right time.
"I am the Son of Heaven. When I am in the prime of life, if I can't even keep my favorite concubine, how can I live on a dog after more than ten years of being a king?" Chunjia thought so, and felt that the three sisters of Xie Meng were all married. It's nothing to be a high-ranking official.
Yan Yin felt that the emperor was a little impulsive, and the onlookers could tell, although he didn't know that Yun Fenghuang knew about Xie Jian's death early in the morning, considering Concubine Min's previous actions, he had some doubts that Concubine Min was deliberately taking the opportunity to invite favor, leading the emperor to do so. So he said a few words of euphemism.
It's just that Chunjia couldn't listen to it at all, and shook his head, "It's fine at other times. At times like this... How could the noble concubine want so much? You don't know that you are not the concubine. The concubine does not get along very well, but she really cares about the family. When she was favored, she spared no effort to support the clansmen, and took two nieces besides Xie Meng under her knees to raise them. Look at the Sangong Sixth Courtyard, how many people treat her like her Her natal family cared about her? After all, when she was in the Xie family, she was also favored. How can the relationship with the family be superficial? Right now, she doesn't have any thoughts at all, she just cares about being sad."
"I hope that she can still be a bit calculating now, so as to distract some grief."
"But looking at her haggard appearance, it's obvious that she doesn't care at all."
"I can only use this to try to see if it can distract her a little bit."
"After all, the imperial concubine really loves the juniors."
"If not... I have to think of other ways."
"You guys think about it too!"
"Although the imperial concubine is young, the ancients said that sorrow can hurt people. How many people can bear such bad news one after another?"
"Back then Xiaozong...cough, let's not mention the first emperor. In short, I know you are loyal, but I haven't done anything out of line now. I just want the concubine to slow down as soon as possible!"
"Could it be that the Son of Heaven, who is not yet old, is not even qualified to protect a favorite concubine?!"
In the end, all these words were said, not to mention Yan Yin, even Duke Yi and other veterans dared not persuade him.
After all, although everyone suspects that Yunfenghuangcheng Mansion is deep, as the emperor said, this master hastily promoted her mother's family just after being favored, no one inside or outside can doubt her deep affection for Xie.
At this point of view, who stood up to object, the noble concubine could not afford to be sick, who could bear the emperor's anger?
It's the same as when Concubine An made trouble earlier, everyone didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Mrs. Yuan would "get angry for good or bad" later.
Now everyone is also very afraid that the imperial concubine will play this game, no, the imperial concubine doesn't even need to deliberately play, maybe she really can't bear the bad news, what is the good or bad?
So what's the difference between bumping into it at this time and courting death?
It's not like looking for death alone, not to mention parents, relatives, friends, teachers and students... all have a good life.
After all, Chunjia has a wealth of criminal records, such as implicating, settling old scores, exterminating the family, reneging on promises, and so on.
