Three Hundred and Thirtieth Eight Chapters Public Grudges
"Looking at the Empress Dowager Mother like this, I don't really feel much pity for Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and then said to the Qing people, "Otherwise, how can the Empress Dowager Mother not mention a word during those years when Your Majesty has been dormant?"
The Qing people couldn't believe it, and said: "It shouldn't be the case. Maybe it was because the Ji family was powerful at that time, and even if it was brought out, it would be useless."
Yun Fenghuang said: "If it was brought out at that time, do you think His Majesty will be indifferent to the situation of the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager at this moment? It is somewhat important for me to speak in front of Your Majesty. However, do you see how much I have slandered Duke Yi?" Next time, when did His Majesty hear about it? Even Mrs. Yi Guogong, His Majesty doesn't like her, but he didn't explain how to ask Yi Guogong to treat her. Isn't it just thinking of the time when Yi Guogong assisted him? A little affection? Otherwise? As far as Yun Zhao's straightforward behavior, Ouyang Yanran can kill him with a little use of his brain!"
He also said, "However, this cannot be entirely blamed on the Holy Mother Empress Dowager. After all, His Majesty has not been close to her these years. She came from a humble background and has not been seen by the loving Mother Empress Dowager. It is reasonable to think about keeping some cards for self-protection." things in it."
She shook her head and didn't discuss the sincerity between mother and child in the Tian Family, but murmured, "The people in the hands of the Empress Dowager are not very good. Mediocre... I guess her heart is not very good, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen her..."
After all, Empress Dowager Qu has always kept a low profile. The manpower left by the old concubine was only for her to check and balance the Empress Dowager Yuan, who was still the concubine of Fuyang, and did not consider the intrigue at the court level at all. Yun Fenghuang's main focus was still on those officials who took refuge in Empress Dowager Qu after the fall of the Ji clan.
But I also want to know that at that time, she would choose the humble Queen Mother, who basically has no ambitions.
After all, even if the Empress Dowager Qu is the birth mother of the son of heaven, in terms of status and affection, the Empress Dowager Yuan will basically not be able to get ahead in a day.
Even if the Empress Dowager wants to maintain her position in the mind of her own son, she must first behave in a non-competitive manner.
Otherwise, the relationship between her and the emperor is not considered deep, and it will only become more vulnerable.
Chunjia is not the kind of foolish, loyal and filial master, he can even raise him with one hand, the Empress Dowager Yuan who loves her own son, can push the queen mother in front of the big situation, let alone the Empress Dowager Qu who just gave birth to him and has never gotten along with him at all. ?
"It's better than nothing." The Qing people knew that Yun Fenghuang was not very satisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it. Now that the Xie family was almost wiped out, the remaining children still had to keep their filial piety, so they really had no right to pick and choose.
Then he comforted, "Besides, earlier they had nowhere to ask and had to rely on the Empress Dowager's sect. This person went to a high place, even if he had self-knowledge, how could he have no heart at all? Now it's the Empress Dowager to help them It’s up to them, there’s absolutely no reason why they can’t make progress.”
Yun Fenghuang said: "It's not so simple. They chose the empress dowager instead of Ben Gong, because they didn't want to take risks, but following Ben Gong, how could they not take risks?"
She breathed out, concentrated for a moment, and then asked, "What happened in the north... Is there any news from the previous court?"
Huizhou suffered a big loss this time, and for Chunjia, it was not only a loss, but also a slap in the face like a heavy slap in the face.
If such an accident had happened a few years ago, other people could still be blamed, such as Ji's arbitrariness of power, the regent's ambition involved the energy of the emperor, and so on. But now the emperor really speaks his mind, and even the important ministers dare not say that they despise the emperor. In this case, the emperor is of course responsible for all the major events that happened in the country.
Ever since Chunjia took office, all of her characters have been portrayed as a Mingjun.
In the ruling and opposition parties, he has established an image of him being diligent and caring for the people, being discerning, and young and vigorous.
The results of it?
The late Emperor Xiaozong was generally recognized as mediocre and incompetent. He had never been able to suppress his family members in his entire life, and even died of depression because of this... To be honest, everyone sympathized with such an experience, and to some extent felt that he was a bit incompetent , without the demeanor of his father Shenzong.
But during Xiaozong's time, Guochao won the conflict with Weihe!
Don't care what price Guochao paid, don't care if this is Shenzong Yuze, and don't care that Xiaozong failed to intervene in this matter from the beginning to the end, it was purely presided over by Duke Ye who followed Shenzong. If he wins over his neighbors, the honor goes to him first.
Now Chunjia is doing well, with an attitude of not knowing how much better than Xiaozong, Huizhou has been burned, killed and looted in a mess, and even the beloved concubine's family is gone. If there is no strong fight back, everyone will be so disappointed?
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang was not worried that the emperor would not attack the grassland. Originally, Chunjia didn't have much good intentions towards Wei He. In addition, this incident greatly hurt his face. She was willing to bear it, but Chunjia would not Willing to bear.
Sure enough, the Qing people heard the words and said: "Your Majesty was very angry after hearing the news that day, and the ministers were also excited. They all said that they must avenge the soldiers and people of Huizhou... These two days, the generals are calling for battle."
"It's a good idea for them." Yun Fenghuang said mockingly, "It's just to see that Weihe's civil strife has not been a few years now, even if Xifa and Hele put aside their previous differences and joined forces, there is a quarrel after all, I think This battle is easy to fight, and it is ready to take credit... It's just that Uncle Zhaowu and Marquis Jingning are both in the north, and they don't care about their qualifications, so don't they care about their children?"
That evening, when Chunjia came to see her, she directly mentioned this matter.
Sure enough, the emperor euphemistically stated that he planned to use Jingning Hou as the commander in chief to attack Wei He. Uncle Zhaowu, however, stayed in Yanzhou, serving as the rear guard for the Marquis of Jingning, so that he could send troops to the fortress with peace of mind.
Yun Fenghuang first thanked the emperor for his kindness with pear blossoms in the rain. Although she knew that the emperor would do the same without Xie's grievances, she still thanked Xie, saying that she was very grateful to Chunjia for avenging Xie's revenge. Yunyun, at the end, he proposed that he wanted Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiaoyu to join the battle: "They are both in the heat of filial piety now, and they should concentrate on keeping their filial piety and not asking about other things. But the world knows that Xie's family was wiped out by Weihe. Now that the country is attacking Qiu Yu, how can the Xie family's children remain indifferent and watch the other's children fight in front of the battle?"
What she said was reasonable, coupled with her appearance that the emperor would not agree anytime and anywhere because she couldn't accept fainting, Chunjia hesitated for a while but agreed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yun Fenghuang burst into tears when he heard the words, and said in a hateful voice, "I only hate myself as a woman, so I can't join the army! Otherwise, I really want to fight the enemy with my brothers , to avenge the clansmen!"
The emperor thought to himself, if you really go to battle in person, how can I have the mind to deal with government affairs?
In fact, his hesitation just now was not because he suspected that the imperial concubine wanted his brothers to gain military merits, but because Xie family was originally a prosperous man, so it would be nothing if some children were killed in battle.
But now that the Xie family is so romantic, there are only a few people.
The ones most closely related to Yun Fenghuang are Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiaoyu.
From a moral point of view, it is right for them to personally avenge their parents and family members. But the sword has no eyes before the battle, if they have something good or bad, then how will he explain to the noble concubine? How could the imperial concubine accept it?
So the emperor thought about it for a while, thinking that if he refused, it would hurt the imperial concubine's heart too much. If it doesn't work, then tell the coach to arrange all the Xie brothers in the logistics, so you don't need to shoot arrows yourself.
As for the fact that if the Xie brothers refused to listen and insisted on killing the enemy with their own hands... that would be easy to handle, the main thing he felt sorry for was the imperial concubine, the left and right imperial concubines would not go to battle.
Let the coach send someone to tie Xie Wuzheng and others together, and when the war ends, they will be untied.
If they file a complaint in the future, they will punish the coach meaningfully and show it to the imperial concubine, since it has nothing to do with him, the emperor.
Not knowing at all, Yun Fenghuang was relieved to see his promise, thinking that his brother had missed so much, so he didn't have to miss this opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
But the emperor nodded, but there was still a problem before her, that is, even if it was Jingninghou who took the lead this time, Jingninghou had no grievances with her or the Xie family, but he couldn't hold back the soldiers of Jingninghou's commander. They were all trained by Uncle Zhao Wu. After all, it is impossible to mobilize the army from the south at this moment, right?
So among these soldiers, whoever gets the order from Uncle Zhaowu, who knows if they will kill Xie Wuzheng and the others?
When the time comes when people are cold on the battlefield, and everything will be pushed to Wei He when she comes back, she can still go to the scene to check if the truth can be found out?
The safest thing of course is to let Xie Wuzheng and the others observe their filial piety in Huizhou honestly, and don't get involved with that much. However, if you do this, you will be safe, but what about your official career?
If you miss this time, where will there be so many opportunities for meritorious service in the future!
"I have just asked His Majesty to let the son-in-law and the others personally go to battle to avenge the Xie family." It was because of her that she lost her father, and it was the period of filial piety. Putting on plain clothes, and within nine months, she doesn't plan to stay in Chunjia. The emperor didn't want outsiders to talk about the imperial concubine, who still didn't forget to win the emperor's favor at this moment, and was very cooperative. He talked with her for a while, watched the dusk fall, and then went to Yijia Palace next door.
Yun Fenghuang called Chen Jing to the front, and said in a low voice, "You go back and send the news to Huizhou and tell the son-in-law and others. One more thing is to tell the son-in-law that although this expedition is very likely to be Marquis Jingning presides, Uncle Zhaowu stays behind, but... since the soldiers are under Uncle Zhaowu's command, he has to worry about other things. It's really not good, sometimes things that everyone knows will make people feel afraid. "
She only let Xie Wuzheng pass this on, but didn't let Xie Xiaoyu say it, because she felt that Xie Xiaoyu might not be able to understand it.
Sure enough, after receiving the news, Xie Wuzheng only thought about it for a while, and then turned around and had a fierce conflict with Gu Fangshu's second son, Gu Lun, due to an accident and misunderstanding in public!
Gu Lun is inconspicuous in the Gu family. To be precise, it is a lie that there is no successor to the Gu family. As far as Uncle Wu's status is concerned, none of the Gu family's children under him can become famous and leader among the younger generation. Qunlun, which shows the lack of talent.
But he is still more valued within the Gu family, and he has a particularly good relationship with Gu Li who was involved in things before. The reason why he is in Huizhou at this moment is also because Gu Fangshu deliberately took him to play emotional cards in order to persuade Gu Li. As a result, the family's negotiations have not yet come to fruition, and something happened in Huizhou first. Gu Lun was then left in Huizhou to help Huizhou deal with the aftermath.
Such a conflict occurred, Gu Fangshu who was originally in Yanzhou knew about it, naturally he did not dare to neglect, and he did not hesitate to rush to Huizhou to explain to brother Xie Wuzheng.
It's just that Xie Wuzheng kept Yun Fenghuang's advice in mind, how could he listen to his explanation? Putting on an appearance of a sudden change in temperament because of the destruction of the family, and even a few words made Gu Fangshu get angry!
As a result, news of Xie's and Gu's feud spread quickly.
The Secretary of the Imperial City did not dare to neglect this news, and reported it to the imperial court as quickly as possible.
After Chunjia heard about it, she felt a dull pain in her forehead. She was helpless for a long time, and finally sighed: "Go and tell the noble concubine. The cause of the matter is indeed Gu Lun's failure to do a good job. conflicted."
But the emperor said so, but felt that the imperial concubine might not be able to listen.
Because before, Yun Fenghuang suspected that Mrs. Gu was targeting Mrs. Xie. What's more, Xie Wuzheng and the others were the first to refuse to turn hostility into jade silk. According to the concubine's care for her natal family, they never said that they would not turn to their brothers, but to outsiders.
Sure enough, when Yun Fenghuang heard the news, he burst into tears at first, telling about Xie's fate, and the fate and loneliness of himself, Xie Wuzheng and others; then he dragged Chunjia to ask him to deal with it. Gu Lun, give my brother an explanation. As for Uncle Zhaowu, he has already dealt with Gu Lun in order to calm things down? The imperial concubine refused to admit it, saying that the father and son were all just pretending! Can't count!
The next step is to toss Chunjia, saying that the emperor doesn't like her anymore, and favors Gu's and so on.
The emperor was busy with government affairs, and he was a little annoyed when he was rushed.
At this time, Yun Fenghuang's attitude changed again, and she complained that she was born in a humble background and was not worthy of serving the emperor. Maybe it was because she was exceptionally favored by the emperor, so she had to pay a huge price, and she paid for it herself. I'm sorry, so I hurt my blood relatives.
When Chunjia heard the words, she couldn't bear it anymore, and instead thought that she was too impatient.
After all, such a big incident happened in the imperial concubine's family. She was originally a domineering master who couldn't rub her eyes. It is understandable for her to be difficult and think more at this moment.
He was immersed in pity for the noble concubine and couldn't extricate himself. The queen and others felt a little speechless when they watched clearly.
Gu Zhen sighed in private and said to the left and right: "This palace understands it, Your Majesty likes this kind of restlessness! It's just that Concubine An back then was only purely noisy, after all, she is not as good as Concubine Concubine who knows how to measure things! "
Since she didn't count on the emperor's favor for a long time, it's okay to be sour in private. On the scene, he had to express his apology for sending this and that to the imperial concubine for the matter between Gu Lun and Xie Wuzheng.
Yun Fenghuang was not polite at all, she took everything, and finally said lightly that it was all a matter of the previous dynasty, and it had nothing to do with the harem, she didn't take it to heart at all.
The queen knew that she was only talking about it, and she probably still held a grudge in her heart, but there was nothing she could do about it.
As a result, at this time, I heard something that the Taoist concubine persuaded Chunjia to take back the loving mother, the empress dowager.
The queen suddenly exploded a little bit.
