Chapter 140 Information Asymmetry
At first, in order to plot against Gu's aunt and nephew and King Chongxin, Yun Fenghuang discussed with King Qin, pretending that King Qin loved Gu Jue and would not marry unless she was the only one.
It was not easy to barely fool it.
Later, because of all the troubles, the mother and son almost forgot about it.
In the end, Mrs. Gu didn't forget, she actually took the initiative to "offer" Gu Jue at this moment? ? ?
This is not even allowed to marry, just sent out as a concubine!
"Old man Gu, old man." Yun Fenghuang understood the old man's plan after a little thought: King Qin actually doesn't love Gu Jue. The Xuanqing Palace mother and son know this, and Zhonggong, Gu Shi, and Gu Jue also know it well. .
But the problem is that the emperor thinks so, and most people think so too.
Now that the middle palace is gone, the ten princes have been demoted, the entire main palace is on the verge of collapse, and even the Gu family is also in turmoil.
But it's like the reason why the emperor showed mercy to King Chongxin: the imperial concubine is, after all, a loving mother who cherishes her children.
Since she couldn't bear to do anything to the third prince, and couldn't bear to pursue King Chongxin further, how could she not be tolerant and magnanimous for King Qin to get his wish?
After all, the Gu family is also a wealthy family, and even had a queen.
Regardless of the queen's current situation, since she has sat on the phoenix seat and held the phoenix seal, it proves the nobility of their family.
His legitimate daughter is more than enough to be an imperial concubine, let alone give it to King Qin like a plaything now?
With such a low voice, if Yun Fenghuang still refuses to give up and let them go... This character design will inevitably collapse a bit.
The imperial concubine's face was gloomy, "The old thing is as cunning as ever!"
"Your Majesty, although our Highness loves Miss Jue, he is a filial son." The Qing people's eyes flashed, and said, "Even if we had all kinds of thoughts about Miss Jue in the past, after this incident, how can we still miss the little bit of love for children?" Long? If you want to blame, you can only blame His Highness for being destined to have nothing to do with Miss Jue!"
This is also a reason.
But Yun Fenghuang thought about it carefully for a while, and then shook his head: "Perhaps the King of Qin will no longer remember Gu Jue because of his filial piety to me. But as a loving mother, I can't miss this favor! This old man is I am sure I have to continue pretending to be a good person, so I will do it intentionally!"
After all, she is a model of a loving mother in the world.
The girl whom the beloved emperor's eldest son misses so much is about to get his hands on it. As a mother, can she not give her son a way out for his future family's mother's family?
Otherwise, how to explain Aiwujiwu?
In fact, to be honest, Mrs. Gu's move is obviously to avoid being driven out, but it may not have other bad intentions.
It can't be said that there is any pressure on Yun Fenghuang.
The problem is that Yun Fenghuang has always been used to being strong, but he refuses to do so.
Of course, she doesn't like any flaws in the character design, so she is just pondering at the moment.
The Qing people thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to ask His Highness King Qin to resign from the matter first, and then your Majesty will come forward to forgive Mrs. Gu, and then ask His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing to insist on pursuing it. How about it? Beloved, although His Royal Highness King Qin is the eldest son, he is still willing to give way to Princess Zhaoqing."
"It's a little bit forced." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is shrewd, he knows that this palace can win over the heirs. If the abolished empress can't control the naughty children under him, I can understand. As for this palace, it is wrong It is intentional connivance, otherwise, how could Zhaoqing play tricks in front of Bengong? Besides, the Gu family is a prominent family anyway, Zhaoqing himself, how can he pursue them? This matter will inevitably come to Bengong, and Bengong will not Have to be generous?"
After thinking for a while, the imperial concubine came up with a plan, squinted her eyes slightly and said, "Send someone to tell Gu Jue in private that she should know whether King Qin likes her or not! At this moment, Mrs. Gu can't protect herself, so she abandoned her." If you come out, how can there be a good end? If you are interested, you can find a way to mess up this matter. Otherwise, Gu Shi will be spared by the net, and she herself will be hard to say!"
"Miss Jue is the daughter of the Gu family after all. It is said that she has been loved since she was a child. After the Gu family chose girls to enter the palace to accompany the abolished, she was among them." The Qing people were a little worried, "Now that the family is about to collapse, it is just what is needed. When she does her best... I'm afraid she may not be willing to listen to your mother's kindness?"
Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "When the family grows, it is inevitable that there will be a few people who only plan for themselves. I myself had some selfishness towards the Xie family back then, not to mention that Gu Jue is a smart person. She should know that he has offended the family. If you don’t like it, after all, the whole family can still kill her? After all, her beauty is left there. Wouldn’t it be a waste if she is executed? Anyway, she can marry off in exchange for a dowry gift and subsidy, right? Protect her, what will happen to me, need I say more?"
If it were her, saying that the Xie family was about to die, let her go to Longtan and Tiger's Den to earn a chance for the whole family... She might explode on the spot!
If you want to die together, why step on her to escape!
On the surface, Gu Jue looked more polite than she was when she was young, but as far as Yun Fenghuang knew, she was also a careful person.
There is great terror between life and death, but not everyone can treat it with a normal heart.
Gu Jue was young and young. A few days ago, if he didn't say how promising he was, at least he was a noble man, and he even had the confidence to refuse to marry the eldest son of the king of Qin.
As a result, at this moment, she can only be a concubine for the King of Qin, and she doesn't even dare to think about it as a concubine... In this situation, how loyal do you have to be to your family to survive?
Anyway, Yun Fenghuang felt that it was impossible for him to do it, and even many people couldn't do it.
Well, anyway, she felt that it was impossible for a normal person to agree to this request.
People in the Qing Dynasty are not as sure as she is, after all, it is only natural for the children of the family to sacrifice for the family at this time.
Those who do not do so are heterogeneous.
It's just that the imperial concubine ordered it, and she couldn't say anything, so she ordered someone to do it.
However, people were still on the way to find Gu Jue, and there was news from Qiongjiu Palace that Gu Jue knelt down in front of King Qin's bedroom at night!
Afterwards, he was brought in by King Qin's waiter to give him tea.
Although the two of them said nothing happened, and they didn't even take a photo, but...according to the current view, if this Gu Jue didn't follow King Qin, he would be innocent.
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
This backstab came without warning!
"Mother and Concubine, don't get me wrong, Eldest Brother didn't want to pay attention to her originally, but Ninth Brother sent someone to tell the son, and the son thinks, since everyone is here, why refuse?" King Jin confessed under the banner of peace, Shi Shiran said, "No matter how defeated the Gu family is, where is the bottom line? Isn't it better than the Xie family of the son-in-law? And much stronger. Now their daughter is abandoned, The entire Gu family is also in turmoil, and even sacrificed their precious daughter-in-law to serve the elder brother, just for a chance of survival... But the problem is, we don't have any deep hatred with the Gu family, so why do we want to kill them all?"
He said slowly, "Let them change their family and support us in the future, wouldn't it be good?"
"Isn't the biggest headache for my mother and concubine these years is that there is no help other than Yin Shangshu and twenty-one uncle?"
"Now this Gu family, isn't it ready-made delivered to your door?"
"Although the elder brother doesn't like that Gu Jue very much, but now he is not a concubine for the elder brother, but just a roommate. As the elder brother, it doesn't matter how many people you accept."
"But he was able to take advantage of the situation to catch up with Gu's who had nowhere to go..."
"Don't say anything else, let's just say that they are the mother's family of the abolished empress. If the abolished empress lost power and immediately followed the mother concubine, the history books will be more convinced that it is the abolished empress' mother and child who are not good, not the mother concubine's pampering. It is."
Yun Fenghuang squinted at him, feeling that when he was his age, those who treated him kindly were truly as open-minded as the sea.
This son behaves very much like her when she was young, but why can't she like it at all?
Not only did he not like it, but he even wanted to drag him out and beat him to death.
"No deep hatred?" The imperial concubine looked at King Jin coldly, until King Jin's original leisurely attitude froze and changed to sitting upright, then said coldly, "How do you know how your natal family was destroyed?!"
King Jin was young, and this matter was kept a secret, even Chunjia thought that the noble concubine only temporarily and angrily doubted Mrs. Gu.
How does this kid know about those past events?
Hearing this, I was stunned, and took a deep breath: "Concubine Mu, you mean... Mrs. Gu!? How could they be so capable!"
"Actually, I'm not very sure." Yun Fenghuang's face was gloomy, "But they are the most suspicious! Your grandfather, the father of the abolished empress Gu Fangshu, ordered the soldiers to shoot and kill the front line in front of everyone! Your grandmother, The whereabouts are still unknown, and I don’t know if the bones are buried in a place that I don’t know... and your aunts, aunts, cousins... Forget it, let’s not talk about it, you haven’t met those relatives, or you don’t have any feelings. But for Bengong In other words, this hatred, this hatred, even if the water of the river is poured, it will be difficult to extinguish it!"
She looked at her own son, "Now do you still think that the Gu family can be used?"
"Even if they may not know that Ben Gong suspects them, but Youdao is a guilty conscience... How could they do things for Ben Gong?! I'm afraid it's too late to kill Ben Gong!"
Otherwise, doesn't she know that she needs help from the front?
Can't you think of taking this opportunity to win over Gu's?
The grievance of simply abolishing the empress is not enough to make Gu's rejection of her olive branch, after all, that's the queen's status in Gu's.
A wealthy family that has been passed down for many years is very sensitive in terms of interests.
Gu Zhen was abandoned, and of course their interests were greatly damaged.
But if you agree to the concubine's solicitation, even if there are not many benefits for Gu Zhen to be the empress dowager in the future, it is better than leaving the stage if there is no harvest.
"..." King Jin listened, his eyes drifted, and he muttered in frustration for a moment, "You didn't tell Erchen earlier, such a big matter... It made Erchen think that he could have someone in front of him. .”
Yun Fenghuang said angrily: "You also know about such a big thing? Just like your bastard, I will tell you what I am doing!"
The king of Jin said aggrievedly: "Although the son is young, he has never been a person who can't hide things. Why doesn't the mother concubine trust the son? In the future, in the future, our mother and son will be the masters of the country. Now you don't I trust my son-in-law, what will happen in the future?"
"You haven't written the horoscope yet, but you are very sure?" Yun Fenghuang was laughed angrily by him, and said, "Or you don't know how much your father and emperor value your third brother these two days?"
Jin Wang said lightly: "Mother and concubine's means and emperor's favor, and son's intelligence, what other princes can compete with son's minister? As for the third brother, he does have some means, but it's just because he is old. That’s all because of it. Ruo’erchen is the eldest brother, so there’s a chance for him to stand out in front of the harem?”
Yun Fenghuang took a few glances and felt that this son was becoming more and more domineering, and his tone softened a bit: "If you can really suppress a thousand brothers, I will naturally be happy. It's just a royal heir, how can it be so simple?"
Such a confident and arrogant look reminded her of her childhood.
It was also so powerful.
It's just because of Xie Fenghuan's matter, it passed very quickly.
The imperial concubine's heart softened, and she said, "Don't be careless. Throughout the ages, it is not uncommon to abolish the prince. Your mother and queen have been queens for these years. How easy is it for your father to abandon her? It's just a matter of will. Gu Hearing the news, he didn't dare to help smooth things over, and even racked his brains to get rid of the relationship... The emperor and the prince seem to be one step apart, but they are completely different! When will you really sit in that seat? It’s not too late to speak out like this.”
