Chapter Eighty-Three: An Unexpected Past
"Du Langu has already entered the palace to file a complaint!" Lying in Xialou, Gu Jue listened to the advice of the little chamberlain, and said calmly to the queen, "This master has never bought the concubine's account very much, and this time he will definitely have a good competition with the concubine." But if what I expected is right, whether Your Majesty believes it or not, the concubine murdered the Qian family and daughter, and will choose to play a round. ”
Gu Zhen's face turned pale, and Sen Ran shouted: "This is your good idea?!" His Majesty has sent the Imperial City Division to investigate thoroughly, and if the clues are found, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
"Even if Your Majesty finds out the clues, it is impossible to poke them out." Gu Jue said, "Auntie, you still don't know Your Majesty well enough...... With His Majesty's current prestige, the prince can completely decide with one word! There is no need to listen to all kinds of discussions and disputes in the harem of the previous dynasty. And since Your Majesty has not done this so far, it can be seen that Your Majesty actually wants to be virtuous...... And, with the wisdom of His Majesty, can you not understand the benefits of establishing a successor? Therefore, as long as the tenth prince or the twelfth prince shows the ability to suppress the brothers, the concubine will not be able to return to the sky! ”
"Of course, neither the Ten Princes nor the Twelve Princes have this ability."
"At least not yet."
"Fortunately, the prince in front of the concubine is not a smart master in the final analysis."
"The reason why the ten princes are falling behind now is that the aunt can't fight the concubine."
Gu Jue said calmly that the queen was not as good as Yun Fenghuang, "Over the years, Your Majesty has attached importance to all the princes of Xuanqing Palace, and the princes in front of my aunt, only the ten princes and the twelve princes have been valued by Your Majesty, and that still depends on the identity of the son-in-law." Thinking about it carefully, how many things have the princes of Xuanqing Palace done that made His Majesty look at it differently? Don't mention those filial and sensible behaviors, everyone knows it, and it must be taught by the concubine in private and sent to spread it...... It has nothing to do with their own talents. ”
"But what Your Majesty wants is the lord of the East Palace, the crown prince, and the future master of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."
"Instead of asking for a son who is filial and obedient and will cooperate."
"So until His Majesty is disappointed in the Ten Princes, the Twelve Princes, or in other words, all the princes in front of his aunt, he will never let his aunt have an accident. Otherwise, what should I do with the many princes who have been involved in front of my aunt? ”
"If it weren't for that, Your Majesty wouldn't have been busy that day and would have taken the time to go to Zezhi Tower."
Gu Jue sneered, "The question that the concubine made that day, Princess Zhaoqing's hairpin, no one found it...... If it weren't for Your Majesty going, Auntie, you said, wouldn't anyone really find it? ”
Gu Zhen had a calm face and said, "You said so much, what do you want to do?" ”
"My niece just wants to do with the will of God." Gu Jue said calmly, "Your Majesty wants the most outstanding prince, not the kind of excellence that has a smart mother behind her to guide her speech and demeanor, but the excellence of herself...... Since this is the case, then let's help Your Majesty and give Your Majesty a reason to prohibit the concubine and aunt from mixing with the younger generation. After all, His Majesty doesn't have an aunt in his heart, and he doesn't care about his aunt's mood. But His Majesty still cares about the concubine very much, and for no reason, he rashly didn't let the concubine guide the princes, how could the concubine give up? ”
"The biggest advantage of Xuanqing Palace is the noble concubine, and the biggest advantage of Yanfu Palace is orthodoxy."
"If my aunt and concubine are banned from playing at the same time, in the final analysis, our side will win."
"......" Gu Zhen was silent for a long time before he sneered and said, "Are you sure Your Majesty will go according to your plan?" ”
Gu Jue said confidently: "Of course Your Majesty will." Auntie, don't you understand? The niece just did what His Majesty wanted to happen. Therefore, even if His Majesty senses that someone has arranged it, he will not say it. At most, it's just a matter of cleaning up my niece and nephew in private. ”
She was even sure that Chunjia would not kill her, "My niece and daughter will follow."
The emperor's heir seems to be old, even if His Majesty notices his niece, how can he personally put it down - and worry about his niece? It must not be left to the imperial heir to be sharpened. It's like the empress dowager and concubine Ji Sheng, don't you know that the young concubine is not good at stubble? Was it difficult for them to kill the concubine at that time? It's just that I think the concubine is still useful. ”
"My niece is also very useful now, let alone Your Majesty, even if the concubine knows that her niece is calculating her, I'm afraid she won't be willing to poison her!"
Gu Zhen was silent for a while, and said, "You have calculated so much, what you want is a fair battle between you children?" But are you sure that the prince on this side of the palace is the opponent of Xuanqing Palace? ”
Gu Jue said calmly: "Auntie, in all fairness, is it the concubine who protects the heirs under her knees more, or do you protect the heirs under her knees more?" ”
Xuanqing Palace has Concubine Min in charge, which naturally makes the imperial heirs in other palaces a little afraid, not to mention that the concubine has always protected her shortcomings, which causes the imperial heirs under her knees to be confident and bold, but in fact, they are not good at intrigue.
Because there are basically no opportunities for drills......
It's the princes under the knees of the Middle Palace, who were bullied and grew up by the Xuanqing Palace.
In terms of the battle between peers, once Xuanqing Palace has no protection from the noble concubine, it actually has even less actual combat experience.
After all, it was someone else who let them in the past.
"It's just an optimistic estimate." The queen said coldly, "It doesn't mean a positive result. ”
Gu Jue said: "Yes, of course my niece has other plans. ”
But she didn't want to tell the queen about this, so she only said, "Auntie, we don't have much time to talk about now." The concubine is not a fool, no matter whether she has evidence or not, she is attacked on this eye, whether she really suspects us or not, she will immediately drag us into the water. Presumably, in a while, someone from His Majesty's side will come to invite you over to confront you. ”
The nephew didn't say anything superfluous, just two sentences: If the concubine is present, no matter how many vouchers come up, the aunt just denies it, and if she can't deny it, she will cry out for injustice. Although you are relieved, it is impossible for Your Majesty to let you be charged with murdering the wives and daughters of your close courtiers. At least not yet. ”
"If the concubine leaves, only you and Your Majesty will be present. Your Majesty asks again, you will say it again, but the person who came up with this idea, don't say your niece, it's not that your niece wants to take herself out, but that you, as the lord of the six palaces, have been reduced to listening to the words of such a big child as your nephew, what do you think of your majesty? ”
"Don't care how Your Majesty has a seizure at that time, you just remember that you did this just so that the concubine would stop helping the children in front of her!"
"It's good that the princes settle the competition between the princes...... What's the point of the elders caught in the middle? ”
"If you say so, even if Your Majesty speaks sharply, he must approve of it in his heart!"
"Otherwise, what would he do not interfere with the matter and arbitrarily decide, and it would also save the undercurrent of the front and harem?!"
Gu Jue sighed lightly and said cautiously, "My aunt may suffer a lot of grievances on this trip, but you must endure it." You remember, today, the concubine has suffered a greater loss than you! ”
After all, the entire Xuanqing Palace faction was supported by the concubine alone.
Once the concubine was forced to sit on the sidelines......
Gu Zhen thought of this, and suddenly felt that this niece seemed to be quite pleasing to the eye?
It's just that the next moment, a huge loss and shame come to mind: how to say it? I always feel that I have lived to a dog in my palace life for decades......
…… In the evening, it was overcast and raining.
The Empress Dowager heard the sound of the rain beating the banana leaves, and came out of the house, leaning on the railing to enjoy the rain in the court.
The attendant was afraid that she would feel cold and busy
He came out with a cloak: "Niangniang, it's cold in the mountains, let's put it on." ”
"Seems to be lively again today?" The Empress Dowager did not refuse, looked at the waiter tying herself with a belt, and suddenly asked, "I heard that the concubine actually suffered a loss?" ”
"Doesn't count?" The waiter said, "It is said that the queen mother and the concubine have been reprimanded, but the most unlucky is that Du Langu, the good wife and daughters are gone, the key is that it was neither the concubine nor the queen who did it, but those palace maids were worried that the return of the master mother could not accommodate them." The concubine was angry, and she didn't care about their life or death, and acquiesced to Mrs. Qian's disposal...... In a panic, he simply didn't do anything and poisoned the master's mother and daughter as revenge. Alas, the concubine didn't expect that she would pick such a person to reward her? Otherwise, with her shrewdness, how could she choose this kind of sex to block herself? ”
"But no matter what, Du Langu should hate the concubine."
"It's the queen who is the most unlucky, obviously it has nothing to do with her, because of the concubine's empty accusations, His Majesty not only let people go, but also scolded the queen very much......"
This waiter has been with the Empress Dowager for many years, and he has been serving since Sejong's time, so he naturally speaks much more casually, and he can't help but say at this moment, "Although this son of heaven is not ambiguous in political affairs, he is too far behind the first emperor in the harem." How much did the emperor respect you back then? Oh, and now the queen is not the wife of the Son of Heaven, but she can't compare with you at that time. ”
The first emperor she said was of course the Divine Sect.
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she also showed a look of reminiscence, but in the end she only sighed and said lightly: "It's also because this Gu family is too honest...... In these years, honest children will suffer after all. ”
She said meaningfully, "The mourning family only understood this truth later, but this Gu family is a fool, I'm afraid I won't be able to understand it in this life." ”
When the waiter listened, he asked in a low voice, "Do you want us to help this Gu family?" ”
"Help her?" The Empress Dowager smiled, her expression was a little strange, "No, it's not to help her, it's to help the mourning family herself." ”
She said slowly, "Everyone knows the nature of the concubine, and it is impossible to give up after suffering such a loss. This Xiao Yun clan is really smart to be honest...... It's a pity that she came from ...... background."
The Empress Dowager seemed to have thought of something, sighed, and said, "The Xiaoyun clan is the best at ingenuity, and the Middle Palace will not be able to be stable for the past two days." You make people look at it, don't call Xiaoyun too proud. Since it is a rule that has been handed down since ancient times, it should be honest according to the rules, Xiaoyun Clan...... Why struggle? ”
Yun Fenghuang didn't know that the Empress Dowager, who had not looked at things for many years, had obviously helped to guide Xie Kuo with her heart, but she didn't stand on her own, after all, the Empress Dowager and the Empress had nothing to do with it.
Even the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Middle Palace is not very harmonious.
She couldn't imagine that she was at this age, and the good thing to say was to concentrate on taking care of her old age, and the ugly thing to say was that the queen mother who was waiting for death would be unwilling to be lonely and choose the queen.
But because he didn't know Gu Jue's private advice, starting from the two lives of Shanyuanguan, the Qian family and daughter died not long after leaving the Taoist temple, and in the eyes of Yunfeng Huang's master and servant, the most suspicious person was the empress dowager.
