Chicao said: "The people of that palace were working in a remote place at the beginning, and they didn't serve any serious masters, so they don't know much. When it was only said that Xiaozong was the crown prince, although the Empress Dowager and Ji had a close relationship, she did not like the contact between Ji Sheng and Xiaozong. Later, when Xiaozong reached the age, the royal family chose a concubine for him, and at that time, the Ji family won the trust of the first emperor of Shenzong, and already had the power to lean towards the government and the opposition. In order to prevent her relatives from sitting big, it is not good for the royal family, and she may also be afraid of the suspicion of the first emperor of Shenzong, in short, she originally planned to choose the crown princess from other famous families. It's just that the first emperor of Shenzong has great trust in the Ji family, plus Ji Sheng, a concubine, and Xiaozong's childhood sweetheart, they are happy with each other...... In short, in the end, Ji Sheng became the crown princess. ”

"But after Ji Sheng became the crown princess, the queen mother was not bad to Ji Sheng."

Later, Shenzong died, Xiaozong ascended the throne, and the Ji family started a fight, once went to Qingci Palace, asked the Empress Dowager for help, but the Empress Dowager did not agree, only said that she was old and did not want to ask about everything. After Xiaozong left disappointed, it was rumored that Ji Sheng, a concubine, had gone to meet the Empress Dowager for Xiaozong, but the aunt and nephew said something but didn't know, but Ji Sheng, a concubine, didn't go to the Empress Dowager for a few years to ask for peace......"

Yun Fenghuang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Why is this Ji clan messed up?" ”

Red Calyx said, "The maid also thinks it is strange. The Empress Dowager did not agree with the Ji family as his wife before Xiaozong chose a concubine, and it may not be a sincere idea, after all, the Ji family was powerful at that time, and the Empress Dowager had to make some gestures to avoid suspicion. But the Divine Sect is gone, but why don't you go to the Filial Piety Sect? ”

"The Empress Dowager has given Shanyuan something so far, do they know about it?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "The Empress Dowager is filial piety to such a little bit of blood, even if some people in this world just don't feel sorry for their children. But for the sake of her own interests, the Empress Dowager categorically had no reason not to help Xiaozong. Bengong thought, did the Empress Dowager not help Emperor Xiaozong at that time, not because she didn't want to help, but because the Ji family took the handle and didn't dare to help? ”

Dan Cao said suspiciously: "But not to mention the Empress Dowager's seniority-identity is not something that can be grasped by ordinary handles, the key is that the Empress Dowager, as the daughter of the Ji family, is both prosperous and lossy with the Ji family in a considerable place, and others threaten the Empress Dowager, what should the Ji family do?" ”

It's this reason, it's like the relationship between the Yun clan and Yun Fenghuan is not very good, but if they catch Yun Fenghuan's handle, they may not dare to expose it immediately.

There are even some things that have to be covered up by Yun Fenghuan.

For example, a bad sentence: If Yun Fenghuan's fornication with a foreign man is known by the Yun family, no matter how angry and angry they are, they will have to help deal with the aftermath if they can deal with the aftermath, unless their brains are in the water, they will go to tell Chunjia.

The reason is very simple, after Xie Fengfeng and Hongxing came out of the wall, Xie's fate is a clear example.

That's still the case that Xie's lintel is higher than Wang's.

What's more, Yunfenghuang's husband's family is a heavenly family.

"Niangniang, is it possible that the threat to the Empress Dowager is straightforward, orphans and widows can't fight the Ji family?" Chicalyx then put forward another opinion, "The maid has been serving in the palace for all these years, to be honest, but I don't think the queen mother is so shrewd?" I want to take the throne of the first emperor of Shenzong, in addition to his own wisdom and martial arts, thanks to the Ji family. But this Ji family, mainly those people of Ye Guogong, may not be the credit of the Empress Dowager? In this way, after the first emperor of Shenzong went, Xiaozong was young, and the empress dowager didn't know anything in the previous dynasty, and there was nothing she could do about her mother's family. ”

After all, if the orphans and widows clearly can't fight the Ji family, at this time, they will tear their faces with the Ji family, which will be even more disadvantageous to them.

The Empress Dowager refused to help her son, kept in touch with the Ji family, and could talk about her feelings.

Yun Fenghuang groaned: "What this palace can't figure out is that since the first emperor of the Divine Sect is a Ming monarch...... Whether it is Ming Jun or not, the Son of Heaven throughout the ages, who has not been a little suspicious? Maybe the Ji clan coaxed Shenzong very well back then, but Shenzong's death was not abrupt, and before he died, didn't he consider the possibility that the orphans and widows couldn't suppress the ministers? Even if you are afraid that the first emperor of Xiaozong is young and no one supports the unstable throne, how can you only entrust the Ji family? ”

Looking at the time of the death of the Son of Heaven in the previous dynasty, if the prince is young and worried about the suspicion of the lord and the country, when entrusting the ministers to take care of his life, he must find at least three or five.

It's not even possible to just find two.

After all, it's just the two ministers, what if they join forces to bully the new monarch?

Guarantee the three courtiers, these courtiers still have to have contradictions and conflicts, to ensure that they can't stand together.

Don't say anything loyal and the like, such as Ji's courtiers who are devoted to the old lord and show off their power to the new monarch, it is not absent in the history books.

Shenzong is not an innocent and ignorant young man, he will not know that people's hearts are fickle?

Anyway, Yun Fenghuang didn't believe that because Shenzong had a good relationship with the Ji family, he would put his wife and children in the hands of the Ji family with confidence.

She is a woman, she was not so stupid when she was fifteen years old, can the Divine Sect be inferior to her?!

“…… This? The attendants couldn't help but look at each other as they listened.

Yun Fenghuang said: "Have those old people heard the relevant rumors? ”

Chicalyx hurriedly went out and asked again, and came back after a while and said, "Niangniang, they can't say clearly." At that time, they were not qualified to serve the serious masters of the palace...... But an old man said that on the eve of Shenzong's death, for several months, the Empress Dowager took Emperor Xiaozong to serve on the side, and the important ministers led by the Ji family entered the palace to visit and ask for peace the next day. The concubines were not qualified to approach, and even the regent could only go outside the screen for five days to say goodbye. At that time, Shenzong's spirit was very bad, and sometimes when the regent went to ask for peace, he drove Shenzong to fall asleep, and he couldn't even speak, so he could only kowtow and retire. ”

"The regent actually didn't have the last face of the first emperor of Shenzong...... It is said to be

The regent was grief-stricken when he wept for a time. It's just that he wasn't born to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother didn't pay much attention to it. ”

"But Xiaozong is very distressed about his brother."

"In this way, the Divine Sect may have lost the initiative when he was seriously ill." Yun Fenghuang thought thoughtfully, "So that he was swayed by the Ji family and couldn't make better arrangements for Emperor Xiaozong?" ”

It's not impossible.

After all, beyond that, it was difficult to explain why the Divine Sect trusted the Ji clan unreservedly.

The question is, the son of heaven who counterattacked the emperor with an unfavored prince, even when he was seriously ill, was so easy to deal with?

Xiaozong is considered mediocre, and he did one thing during his entire reign: fighting with the Ji family.

Also lost.

But on the eve of his death, even if the canonization of the imperial prince failed, it also added a lot of obstacles to the Ji family: handing over the imperial city division to the regent, leaving rumors of the half-step imperial brother, as well as a few royalists such as Yiguo Gong.

Shenzong is famous in the history books, how can he not even be as good as his own son?

"Mother, this should be possible." Chicao felt that this made sense, "Do you think that after Shenzong ascended the throne, he slaughtered countless clan relatives and nobles, and when he was seriously ill, the first emperor of Xiaozong and the regent were still young, but there was no one in the clan. For example, the eldest princess of Dongxing has a few bloodlines, but she is afraid that she is still trembling, but where can she dare to mix with the royal affairs again? Although there are also concubines in the harem of Shenzong, except for the empress dowager, there are no noble women. In this way, the Ji family and the Empress Dowager should cooperate with the outside world, wouldn't they control the harem of the former dynasty and the harem with one hand? Moreover, Shenzong only had two heirs, Xiaozong and the regent. If the Ji family and the Empress Dowager used these two heirs as a threat, no matter how angry Shenzong was at that time, I am afraid it would not help? ”

Speaking of which, it was the trouble caused by the Divine Sect killing too many brothers and nephews.

Otherwise, if there are so many adult close relatives, and Shenzong is sick in his prime, Ji is only afraid that he will be more anxious than Shenzong himself.

I was afraid that after Shenzong went, the young Xiaozong and the regent would not be able to stop the scene, so they asked others to pick up the cheap and go.

"......" Yun Fenghuang groaned, depressed to find that due to the age, and the old people who are alive now were not of high status at that time, their knowledge was limited, but it was difficult to speculate the truth.

She thought about it for a while, but finally came up with a question, "By the way, did you ask them about Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Minghui?" ”

Chicao was about to answer, but there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by a little palace maid entering the house to salute: "Niangniang, someone outside has sent news." ”

Yun Fenghuang was deliberating about the affairs related to the Empress Dowager, and said casually when he heard the words: "What news?" ”

"It's the death of Qian's mother and daughter before." The little palace maid said softly, "Miss Gu Jue, the niece of the suspected queen mother, has a plan." ”

These words shocked the master and servant in the room!

Dan Cao even immediately shouted: "Is this true? Don't be the ears and eyes of the Woxia Tower, deliberately alarmist? How old is that Miss Jue? She has been raised by the queen for several years, and she has never woken up as Gu Jing before

Eye! ”

When Gu Jue entered the palace, of course, he immediately became the focus of attention in Xuanqing Palace.

It's just that she was quickly covered up by Gu Jing.

Compared with Gu Jing, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, is impeccable everywhere and has a smiling face, Gu Jue, who is shrunk behind the sky and looks a little soy sauce without merit, is difficult to continue to attract attention.

Especially since even the Ten Princes didn't care much about this cheap cousin, Xuanqing Palace naturally lowered her importance and lowered it.

It was also after Gu Jing went that Gu Jue seemed to have some impressive meaning, and he paid more attention these days.

But she didn't expect that she would be able to come up with a way to make the concubine suffer a loss?

"I couldn't believe it at first, after all, it's a big deal." The little palace maid said, "Therefore, I specially checked it, and then I dared to come to tell it...... It is said that when the news of the accident in Shanyuanguan reached Woxia Tower, the queen mother planned to make a fuss about this matter, so as to trouble us. They were all discussing, and Gu Jue rushed over when he heard the news. I didn't know what to say to the queen behind closed doors, in short, the queen's face was not very good-looking afterwards, but she didn't mention Shanyuanguan's words again. Then the Qian mother and daughter were gone...... How do you think about it, it's all the credit of Miss Najue? ”

Chi Cao couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the Gu family meant, let her pass the word?" ”

"But in the past two days, no one from the Gu family has spoken to the palace." The little palace maid said, "And the waiter of Woxia Tower, his attitude towards Gu Jue has changed a lot these days. Although it is not obvious, in terms of details, it is obvious that a lot of attention has been paid to it. ”

Chicalyx and Dancalyx glanced at each other, their faces were solemn, and they didn't speak.

They are all Yun Fenghuang's close attendants, and they are still the sons of the Xie family, so they know best what they are doing.

Gu Jue is to the queen, just like Xie Kuo, Xie Meng, and Xie Yi are to Yunfeng Huang.

To say that Chicao and the others are of course not bad to Xie's girls, but this is not bad, with a condescending attitude.

One is age, they are close servants, who have followed their masters for many years, and often grow up watching the master's juniors, even if there is a master-slave gap in identity, but the advantages brought by age still make them subconsciously overlook; The second is the position of power, although they are slaves and maids, but to be honest, the weight of speaking in front of their masters is often incomparable to many young juniors, and even older but not good enough juniors.

It was Yun Fenghuan who was born with a mind, and when he was a child, he annoyed the Jiang family, and it was also the Qing people who helped persuade him to be exempted from punishment.

If the attendants didn't help, the Jiang family would be angry, and they would have to whip her.

At first, they also looked at this lady with the mood of watching children, but later they still watched Yun Fenghuan with ease, as well as Yun Fenghuang's own domineering temperament and beating, and gradually re-acquainted with this little master, and then from the bottom of his heart, he regarded the little master as a "master".

Therefore, the close attendant in front of the queen may not be bad to her because of Gu Jue's identity.

But he will not pay attention to this Miss Jue rashly.

After all, their real master is Queen Gu Zhen.

With Gu Jue's current status and age, it is not worth looking at it differently.

Even Gu Jue needed their help to speak and persuade the queen.

However, they showed that they attached great importance to Gu Jue......

Yun Fenghuang pondered for a moment and ordered: "Go and inquire, what did Gu Jue do when he went back to Gu Mansion a few days ago?" and the number and time she met with the queen in the past and now. ”
