Volume 8 Chapter 57 The Crisis of the Mi Clan (I)
The sentence 'It's all caused by Beigong' expresses Mrs. Huayang's deep helplessness.
Ying Zichu and Ying Zheng are all people brought up by Mrs. Huayang, and the two generations of King Qin can be the king, and they are inseparable from Mrs. Huayang.
As Mrs. Huayang said, only the king she brings can reassure her and the Mi family. But now it's not good, since Yingzheng returned to Qin, became the prince, and entered the palace, the Qin Palace has been monitored by Xia Ji.
In the entire Qin Kingdom, what Mrs. Huayang was most afraid of was Xia Ji.
Mrs. Huayang laughed at herself: "You heard it right, it's all Beigong's fault." ”
"In your eyes, Sister Xia Ji has been cultivating in the Purple Bamboo Forest for many years, living in a shallow position and not asking about the world. It would be a big mistake to think so. I am the master of the harem, and the Qin Palace should be counted according to Huayang Palace, but why are the people below the largest number of people in the North Palace? ”
"It's all because the water in the palace is very deep, Zhao Ji may not have experienced it, but as Xiaomin, you can still explore the depth of this water. You were born in Zhao Palace since you were a child, and you are very familiar with the affairs of the palace, but after you came, you didn't care about anything. When asked by others, you say that you don't like to manage mundane affairs, which may be your character, but in your grandmother's opinion, it is not the main thing. ”
"You're afraid that the water here is too deep, and it will bring a lot of trouble to Zheng'er."
"Since you entered the palace, the maids you have used have all been brought from Zhao State, and you don't dare to use Huayang Palace alone. Because you can see it very clearly, more than half of the people in Huayang Palace are from Beigong. In other words, whatever I do in the palace, every move I make will be seen by the Empress Dowager Xia Ji. ”
"Although the Qin Palace is headed by Huayang Palace, can it really be in charge of the entire harem? No, there are two mountains on my head. One is the North Palace, and the other is the Yiling Palace. The Yiling Hall rarely interferes in mundane affairs, and the people inside are very low-key and only responsible to the King of Qin. Beigong is different, there are too many things to meddle in, except for Sister Xia Ji, no one knows who Chenxi is loyal to? ”
Zhao Ji frowned and said: "Ying Ai has a grudge against you, you are not afraid of the Yiling Palace, why should you be afraid of the North Palace?" At least in my opinion, the Empress Dowager Xia Ji doesn't dare to show you a clear face. Just like me, although I wish you died early, but in public, I still have to give some face. ”
"It's just a personal grudge between you and me, and it has nothing to do with the clansmen, even if we make a lot of trouble, it won't affect the great cause of the government. I want to fight back to Zhao, and you also want to annex Chu, we know it. But I don't understand, why are you afraid of Beigong being like this? Zheng'er is still too young, if Zichu is still alive, the great cause of reunification can come faster. Let Zheng'er do it now, even if you can annex Chu in the future, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to live to that day. ”
Mrs. Huayang said sadly: "I don't know this truth, it has always been my wish to return to the Chu State." No matter how big the ideal is, we must face the reality. The reality is very cruel, I sadly found that the Ba family had private business dealings with the Emperor Ming Mansion, and the Empress Dowager Xia Ji was also very close to Cheng Chan. ”
"Cheng Chan, this child, has never been pleasing to me, and he also has contradictions with many people of the Mi clan, once he takes the throne, the status of my Mi clan will be very embarrassing. Beigong is too powerful, this is my first private official institution in Daqin, there are masters in it, and all kinds of talents emerge in endlessly, no matter how I fight, in the face of absolute strength, I am no more than Xia Ji. ”
"At my age, I won't live long, if I die, what will happen to the Mi family? At least in my opinion, Natsuhime definitely outlived me, and that morning was very young. Therefore, I resolutely can't let Cheng Chan take the position, and at this time, Zheng'er walked into my sight. ”
"The first time Run'er saw Zheng'er, she was determined to be his woman, and from then on, I knew that the future of the Mi family could only be pinned on Zheng'er. With this starting point, I tried my best to support Zheng'er to take the position. But you know what? At that time, Xia Ji once sent a message to me, saying that Zheng'er's identity was undecided, and he was used to the way of doing things on the rivers and lakes, and it was most suitable for Cheng Chan. ”
At that time, the contradiction could not be reconciled. Cheng Chan is used to being arrogant and domineering, not only suppressing many princes, but also bullying my Mi clansmen. The princes and princesses of the two clans have lived in Huayang Palace since they were children, what is the difference between bullying them and bullying me? You tell me, should I resist? ”
Zhao Ji was stunned and said coldly: "Empress Dowager Xia Ji didn't even choose a politician, I didn't know about it until today." ”
Speaking of Yingzheng's body, Min Dai couldn't be silent anymore, and said lightly: "What Grandma Huayang said is the truth, which can be seen from Mo Wu's hiding in the Zongren Mansion, and the attitude of Empress Dowager Xia Ji. She wanted to meet Mo Wu'an, as long as they met, it would threaten the position of the king, so Zhong Dian would try his best to keep them from seeing, so everyone besieged the queen mother and forced her to retreat. ”
"I'm not familiar with Cheng Chan, but in my opinion, the king is still suitable to be the king of Qin. The king and I are both from the cold moon, and we have had a friendship in the wind and rain building, and everyone knows the roots. The king is the closed disciple of the head of my family, and he is also the helmsman of Leng Yue, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager Xia Ji not to know. But Beigong didn't send anyone to answer him, and he had to let him risk alone, and since then, I haven't been waiting to see Beigong. ”
Mrs. Huayang said: "Zhao Ji, you have lived in Huayang Palace for several years, and you know best who I come here every day. Every time Cheng Chan came, he would bully those princes and princesses, and I dared not speak out. Especially bullying my family Run'er outside the door, which completely angered me and the entire Mi family. ”
"Who in the palace doesn't know, I intend to train Mi Run as the successor of Huayang Palace, Run'er's father is still Mi Chen, who is in charge of the private treasury, such a Mi family concubine, was actually bullied by Cheng Chan's subordinates at my doorstep, what will the palace and the palace think? Although Cheng Chan didn't mean it, most of his subordinates were from Beigong. ”
"What kind of master, what kind of subordinate, at that moment, I have not been out of the palace for a long time, and I have been out of the palace twice in a row. Once the two princes duel, even if Zhongli is not there, I will favor Zheng'er; At a ancestor worship ceremony, he scolded Zichu for not punishing Zheng'er, he just came back from the people, where do you understand those palace rules? ”
"That time, Zichu was seriously injured, and even if Xu Fulai, who is a skilled doctor, diagnosed, he would not live for a year. Zichu doesn't have much background in the palace, and those tricks of scheming were all learned from me, I can't delay it any longer, I must take advantage of the crown prince to take the throne and let Zheng'er sit on the throne as soon as possible. ”
"Because I know that as long as it drags on for a year, with the power of the North Palace, I don't know who the King of Qin will be, in case Xia Ji says to let Cheng Chan take the throne, what will we do?"
"There is no way at all, Xia Ji is the strongest person in Great Qin, and there are too many people who can influence. So I planned this plan to poison Zi Chu, but I didn't expect Beigong to start so quickly. I originally asked Lao Xiang to join Xinbo and carry it out together, but who knew that before Lao Xiang left Huayang Palace, Zichu died. ”
"You guys, is it appropriate for me to carry this pot alone? The plan was made by me, but Zhao Ji, you also understand that it is the people of Beigong who really implement it. ”
Zhao Ji and Min Dai stopped talking.
At this moment, there is no need for Mrs. Huayang to lie. Yingzi Chu's death, first he designed a bitter plan, and then Meng Jiang came to take revenge. The old eunuch who poisoned him also committed suicide on the spot, as if he was afraid of being asked something. With the power of Huayang Palace, he will not admit it, and the old eunuch is indeed not from Huayang Palace.
Everyone has always said that Mrs. Huayang is wrong, and they all say that she killed Yingzi Chu, but has anyone ever thought that the inside of Beigong is not monolithic, so does Beigong have nothing to do with it? At least Min Dai didn't believe it, she had long been unhappy with Beigong to the extreme. She is Mrs. Jun, and Chenxi didn't go to greet her and let her face go, so she moved to the Zhong Hall to live and give Zhong Li a strong voice.
Zhao Ji rubbed his forehead and said: "I can't tell this, Beigong has always supported me, I may not believe Xia Ji, Chenxi will still believe it." Chenxi is willing to marry Zheng'er, which means that she will not harm anyone around Zheng'er, if she ordered to kill Zi Chu, how could she marry Zheng'er? ”
Mrs. Huayang said: "The person who gave the order will not be Chenxi, nor will it be Xia Ji, as for which person from the North Palace is, only God knows." ”
"In my eyes, Beigong is a behemoth, and I must eliminate this threat while I am alive. There are some things I can tell you, Natsuhime has a lot of hatred for me. As long as she has the opportunity, she will definitely drive the Mi clan out of the Qin State. ”
"The crisis of the Mi clan is in the North Palace. Because of the changes in the palace that year, Empress Dowager Xuan and I killed many people from the Ying clan, and forced the whereabouts of Empress Qin Wu to be unknown. Empress Qin Wu has a great kindness to me and Xia Ji, and if I betray it, it will naturally make Xia Ji full of resentment. ”
"The reason why they didn't attack me is mainly because the Ying clan is weak, and the Mi clan is deeply rooted in the royal family, and it can't eliminate its influence in a short period of time. If you kill me, the two clans will inevitably go to war, and she is not ready for this, and she does not want to expand the contradictions. ”
"I still remember that after Zichu's death, I immediately united with Zhongli and set out to build the Zhong Palace. I don't know that Meng Jiang is also from Beigong, how did she be caught by Zhong Li so coincidentally into the Zhong Palace, and the battle in the Zhong Hall that night deeply frightened me. ”
"It turns out that many Beigong people live by my side, but I don't know it. Did you know? When Zhongli found me, he complained about me on the spot and asked me how to manage my men. A small half of the people who participated in the attack on the Zhong Hall came from Huayang Palace. The bell hall was built by me with great fundraising, and attacking the bell hall is attacking myself, and there are a large number of people from the Mi clan living in the bell hall, and I can't attack it no matter how confused I am. ”
Zhao Ji and Min Dai looked at each other, and this is really the reason.
The Min Dynasty lived in the Bell Hall for a long time, and many people of the Mi family, such as Mi Run and the Seven Sword Girls, lived in the Bell Palace. In other words, half of the people of the Mi clan live in the Zhong Palace. Unless Mrs. Huayang goes crazy, she will call someone to attack Zhong Dian.
So the question is, I couldn't figure it out before, but now I think about it, with Meng Jiang's influence, how can it affect so many Beigong people?
