Three Hundred and Fortieth Chapters Do Not Agree
Deng Chengzhai had a headache for a while, and he couldn't be sure for a while whether Ouyang Yanran was helping and helping the younger ones, deliberately giving him a chance to show his face, or deliberately making things difficult for him?
Gathering his mind, the emperor's companion and close minister said slowly: "Mo Ruo exposes Wei He's treachery first, and then invites one of the empress dowagers to escape into Buddhism. After a year or so, after the limelight passes, we will be separated again." Counties, especially places with Lingchuan Mountains to build Taoist temples, please move the empress dowager."
The monarch and his ministers thought about it for a while, and felt that this operation was no problem.
The two queen mothers must have been wronged. Needless to say, this is the unified caliber of the upper echelons, so this is the truth.
After being wronged, as a highly respected and virtuous empress dowager, she suffered such humiliation for no reason, and became a monk in a rage to practice, not only to pray for her descendants, but also to prove her innocence, which is a logical thing.
A year and a half later, the practicing empress dowager tasted the joy of becoming a monk, indulged in it, and decided to build a better Taoist temple, the size of a palace, to continue to become a monk, it is normal! It is normal not to build it in Fuyang County, but to build it in other places, because there is not even a rumor of a high-level Taoist temple in a remote place like Fuyang County, how can it be worthy of a high-level Taoist temple?
"That's it." Chunjia sighed, and told Deng Chengzhai wearily, "Go to Fuyang County yourself and do this for me."
After a pause, he asked the others to leave, and left the close minister alone to explain that going to Fuyang County not only to deal with the aftermath of the two empress dowagers, but also to investigate the truth thoroughly.
Although the emperor used rhetoric to fool outsiders, he didn't want to rub the sand in his own eyes.
It's not that he's not filial, the matter of two empress dowagers fighting for a man has come out, and if he continues to be so muddled, who knows what kind of commotion will happen?
The emperor was very angry.
At this moment, the two empress dowagers who were far away in Fuyang County also knew his reaction very well.
Empress Dowager Yuan looked frosty, looking at Empress Dowager Qu who was not wearing makeup and wearing simple clothes but was still beautiful, endured her anger, and said in a deep voice: "...kill that lowly slave, set his bones to ashes, and tell the outside world , It was the two of us who made the truth together. This matter was not done by you, nor by Aijia. It was someone else who deliberately murdered you and me, understand?"
"..." Empress Dowager Qu was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes.
Her eyes are very standard peach blossom eyes, even in her old age, she still looks swaying and mesmerizing, seductive.
Empress Dowager Yuan is very familiar with her eyes. Back then, her husband, King Duan of Fuyang, brought the Qu family into the mansion because of this... Empress Dowager Yuan was young at the time. Not emotional. But since she left the court and married King Duan of Fuyang as a princess, it is natural for her to love her husband.
So of course I don't like Qu Shi.
I don't like her eyes even more.
But for such a person, in the past, she always thought that there were many opportunities to be crushed to death. After so many years of going around, she still sat in front of her. Even the seats are getting closer and closer, and now she is on an equal footing with her in terms of etiquette!
The queen mother was in a trance for a moment, and then noticed that there was a mockery and coldness she was not familiar with in those familiar eyes.
She had hardly seen such emotions in Empress Dowager Qu before, otherwise, even with all kinds of scruples, she would not have let Qu's live until now.
Empress Dowager Qu knew this well.
But at this moment, as if she had a reliance, she did not hide the malice in her eyes, and said softly: "You are always like this, even if my son has already sat on the throne, or even the emperor... in your eyes I , but I am still the same as when I first entered the palace. Do you think that you have been very patient and aggrieved to let me sit opposite you?"
Empress Dowager Qu narrowed her eyes, half-smile, "But, I don't think it's enough!"
She pointed in the direction of the imperial capital, "Even though I came from a humble background, I was born into the blood of Gongxiang, the heir of the late Emperor Xiaozong. What about you? You were born in the Yuan family of Fuyang, and you were the first concubine. When you entered the palace, the old concubine But I didn’t give the late king any concubines to hinder your eyes, but you have served the late king alone for many years, so what right do you have to blame the old concubine for not liking you?! And what right do you have to anger us concubines, under your strict guard? How can you give birth to a son and a half daughter just by being pitied by the former king once in a while?!"
There was a deep chill in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Yuan, and she said sternly: "Get angry with you? You are putting money on your face too much! What are you! The Ai family will be angry with you? You have children, but it is just for Ai The family has children! The more you give birth, the more prosperous the Ai family will be! What is the Ai family doing to anger you?!"
"Really?" Empress Dowager Qu sneered, and said slowly, "No matter how noble you are, have you ever hated a concubine like us who came from a humble background but was able to continue the heirs of the former king? You know it best. I don't either. You must admit it! After all..."
"The Ai family didn't call you here to talk nonsense to you!" The Empress Dowager Yuan suddenly interrupted, "You are simply insane about what happened this time! Respected by the Son of Heaven, it’s fine to use any tricks aimed at Ai’s family, it’s not going to be bad for the Son of Heaven! As a result..."
A look of disgust and disdain flashed across her face, and she said coldly, "The lowly maids from poor families just don't show up on the stage, and you don't think it dirty when you use such dirty methods, and you're happy to see Ai's family dirty, but Have you ever thought about the thoughts and situation of Emperor Jing's son?! No one in the world knows that he is now the heir of the Ji family and the Gongxiang family in name, but he is actually from the Fuyang king's lineage. Before the age of fifteen, he was an Ai family What did these people teach him?! If Aijia and you, a adoptive mother and a biological mother are all filthy-chaotic people, how will the people of the world look at the emperor?! As the biological mother of the emperor, you can have the status you have today, why not? From the emperor? You don’t think about him at all!!!”
"I used to think about His Majesty, but I realized later that His Majesty doesn't need me. You are enough for him. This was the case when he was a child, and even more so when he grew up." Queen Mother Qu said calmly, "Although he is I am my own flesh and blood, but you have carried me away from the moment I landed. When he was a child, he always thought that you were his mother. Later he found out that you were not. But I never saw how affectionate he was with me. Even in private Sometimes, I wanted to talk to him, and he walked away quickly... At first I thought it was purely because you were kind to him, and people around you said bad things about me to him. But then I found out, no. It is Because...you can help him more!"
Empress Dowager Qu said coldly, "There is an old saying that no one asks you if you are poor in the downtown area, but you have distant relatives in the mountains if you are rich! That's the truth!"
"We are the biological mother and child. It was an accident when I was pregnant with him. Only I know how many calculations and sufferings I suffered during the process of giving birth to him!"
"But does he care? Does he feel bad? No, he doesn't care or feel bad. He should be very worried, right? Worrying that if I tirelessly get close to him, causing you to be bored and alienated, at that time, he was fledgling, but What should I do?"
"I think it's about the last bit of mother-child love, and I never took the initiative to look for him after that, but he was relieved... Hey! Hey! Hey!"
She sneered a few times, and continued, "You are a good mother, and you never forget to think about him. You have told too many lies, and you believe it? It's as if you really care about him! If so At the beginning, after you raised him, you immediately took your undisciplined niece under your knees, protected him so tightly, and even beat the child to teach His Majesty to let your lowly maid?"
"In the final analysis, the most important thing in your heart is your Yuan family's blood!"
"If it wasn't for your inability to give birth, would everything about the Fuyang Palace, and even the chance to ascend to the throne, have anything to do with His Majesty?!"
"Your Majesty is your choice of last resort. It is your guarantee to the position of Dowager Dowager and Empress Dowager. That's all, but why pretend to be a loving mother? If you were really a good person, you would have sent Dowager Dowager off after the previous king left. Go down?!"
"Bang!" Empress Dowager Yuan's face was ashen, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up, "You keep saying that the emperor doesn't get close to you, why don't you think that the emperor didn't know his life experience since he was a child, and he never got along with you at all. You are his own mother, let him kiss you, but you don’t even know what he has learned, what he likes, and what habits he has. Why do you let the emperor kiss you for no reason?! Don’t say sorry You have worked so hard to raise him, but you see a cat and a dog on the road, waving for no reason, do you think they will follow you?!"
"Or do you think you are something extraordinary, and you want to kiss you if you are a person?!"
"Isn't it your own problem that your son doesn't get close to you?!"
"As for the importance the Ai family attaches to the emperor's son... If the Ai family has their own flesh and blood, naturally everything will be towards their own! This is human nature!"
"Otherwise, the emperor is your own son, so you don't have the slightest thought of favoring him indiscriminately?!"
"However, the Ai family has nothing under their knees, and the emperor is the child of the Ai family!!!"
"There is no doubt about this!"
Empress Dowager Yuan took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and slowed down her tone, "If you must settle the old score, after this incident, we will discuss it! But right now, you must listen to Aijia!"
"Whether it is to explain to the emperor or to the court, this matter must not be done by you or me. You and I must be victims. You are not a person who is not clear about the pros and cons. Only when you know how to do so can you protect yourself to the greatest extent. You and me! Otherwise, disappointing the emperor, and disappointing the important ministers, is there any good for you?!"
She felt that this condition was already very compromised.
Because she is the pure victim!
This matter is caused by Queen Mother Qu!
But in order not to disappoint Chunjia, and to avoid embarrassment in front of the officials, she voluntarily forbears, and agrees to cooperate with Queen Mother Qu to shift the responsibility to a third party that does not exist, and to purify the two.
It is tantamount to knowing that he has suffered a loss.
Empress Dowager Qu should understand that this is the best choice for the two of them.
Even at this moment, Empress Dowager Qu should come over and beg her to take the initiative to calm things down!
In the end, this Qu family came from a humble background, but he just didn't understand the general situation. When did he go to look for those old sesame seeds and rotten millet... It's ridiculous!
Empress Dowager Yuan hadn't finished thinking about it when she saw Empress Dowager Qu lift her eyelids and smiled... This Empress Dowager Mother was really a stunning beauty when she was young.
Chunjia's outstanding appearance was probably passed down to her.
Even if it is hostile at the moment, Queen Mother Yuan has to admit that this former royal concubine, Qu Shi, does have a charm that even the frail and sick Fuyang Duan Wang will never forget.
She was subconsciously absent-minded for a moment, thinking of those bitter and sweet entangled memories of her teenage years, she settled down just in time to hear Empress Dowager Qu say no.
"What did you say?!" Queen Mother Yuan couldn't believe her ears!
Empress Dowager Qu looked at her with a smile, admiring her unbelievable expression, and repeated softly: "I said no, this thing was done between you and me, it has nothing to do with other people!!!"
