Chapter 25 You Can't Die if You Don't Work, Um.
"Your Majesty, this maidservant doesn't understand." It was late at night, and Jian Tao sent the noble concubine away from Xuanqing Palace.
There are many people living in this palace now, even at night, it is not as deserted as before, lights are lit everywhere, there are still vague conversations in several rooms, it is the newly recruited girls who are still hesitating, Sleepless.
But Jiantao was very familiar with the whole palace, leading the imperial concubine around, avoiding people along the way, getting more and more remote.
Seeing that the corner gate was ahead, she couldn't bear it anymore, slowed down her pace, and asked in a low voice, "Mao Jieyu was recommended by Concubine Shu to enter the palace, but she voted for the queen not long after entering the palace. Gladly agree... With such a person, even if we hold her to plot against Ji Muzi, she will definitely be obedient? If you just want to find a concubine with an obscure family background to raise the heir, in case of future accidents... The maid thought, Why not find someone more sensible?"
"Mao Jieyu is indeed rebellious and unruly." Concubine Zheng lifted her skirt lightly, walked up a few stone steps, smiled slightly when she heard the words, and said softly, "But have you forgotten? This palace is forming an alliance with her, not soliciting... ...So it is not necessary for her to be obedient, it is enough for her to be ambitious."
She turned her head to look at Jiantao, "You're right. Mao Jieyu is born rebellious and will never surrender to anyone. So whether Concubine Shu or Empress, she not only betrayed quickly, but she didn't even feel guilty at all. Therefore From the very beginning, I didn't intend to treat her as a subordinate, what I want is to confirm her plot, and then... add fuel to the flames!"
So Concubine Zheng is not afraid of Yun Fenghuang betraying her at all.
Because she was only lending a helping hand to what Yun Fenghuang had to do, and what had to be done, so as to collect benefits. If Yun Fenghuang wanted to cheat her, the first thing she had to face was to overthrow her overall plan... But considering the current situation in the harem of the imperial court, could she give up using Yun Qingman to hold the heir of the Yun family's bloodline and coerce the Duke of Yi's mansion? ?
Impossible, after all, Yun Fenghuang's background is doomed for her to gain a foothold in this palace, to go further, to stand firmer, so she must find a strong backer!
The Xie clan could not develop enough to be her reliance in a short period of time; the queen who accepted her to rely on was deliberately trying to cut off all her retreats. For Yun Fenghuang, who was seriously suspicious, he would resist everything to the end; The royal family and the Cui family also have a faction of powerful eunuchs. They all have spokespersons in the palace for a long time, and their positions are stable and their status is not low. The fact that there is no friendship, or Yun Fenghuang's previous betrayal, it is impossible to trust her too much.
Yun Fenghuang might not care much about their trust, but it is impossible not to care about their support.
So after counting and counting, this newly promoted Jieyu can only start from Yiguo Duke's Mansion. In this respect, she has the advantage that Concubine Shu's father and daughter personally sent her: she is the daughter of the Yun family, and she is holding the queen's thigh. Yun Qingman held it in her hands and suppressed her status. Once Yun Qingman became pregnant, the emperor's heir would basically be raised by her!
At that time, no matter how unwilling Yun Shi was, for the safety of the emperor's heir, he had no choice but to hold his nose and support her.
After all, not to mention the weight of an emperor's heir, it is enough for Yun's willingness to turn fighting with Yun Fenghuang into a jade silk, let's talk about Yun Fenghuang's heart, if Yun refuses her threat, God knows what she will do?
She doesn't feel sorry for those who are not her own.
"And Mao Jieyu is not stupid." The imperial concubine thought about her plan, and smiled lightly, "The Yun family has been rich for three dynasties, even if she took advantage of the loopholes and set it up, how could it be easy to provoke? She needs the help of this palace in the first place. , to balance the pressure brought by the Yun family for her...at the same time, it also buys the opportunity and time for the Xie family she truly trusts to grow stronger. So as long as this palace keeps its promise, she will also keep the promise."
She sighed at this point, "In the final analysis, who made the majesty we meet be in the prime of life and able to endure? Uncle has served Emperor Shenzong and Emperor Xiaozong, but he is not sure what will happen to this majesty in the future... My Zheng family is no better than the Ji family The three regents of the Cui family, the Ji family and His Majesty have the grace to support them, no matter what His Majesty thinks of them these years, it is impossible to kill them all in the future if you want to claim their reputation!"
"Mr. Cui is the leader of the scholastic community. He has committed heinous crimes. According to the usual practice, His Majesty will always leave a line to show magnanimity."
"Let's not talk about the regent. He is the head of the clan. He went to the Gongxiang family with His Majesty. He is the only remaining male heir of Emperor Shenzong... Regardless of what they did, His Majesty must at least leave it on the surface. They have a way to survive, otherwise how will the people of the world think of him?"
The Zheng family is the most embarrassing, Quan Huan, don't look at the prominence like cooking oil in the fire, in the final analysis, he is just a slave of the emperor.
How could the emperor deal with his servants?
The group of scholars who controlled the public opinion could only clap their hands and applaud that the emperor was wise in punishing traitors, and they definitely didn't feel that the emperor was cruel because of this.
Therefore, in Zheng Gu's view, once Emperor Chunjia reappeared as Emperor Shenzong... the most dangerous thing is the Zheng family, because the Zheng family's natural disadvantages in starting a family are too suitable to be chosen as the sacrificial banner of the emperor Yuji Yunei.
Originally, Concubine Zheng Gui was happy, and the whole Zheng Gu faction was very happy. This was their best way out.
But the sudden dark hands, even up to now do not know where the problem lies...
It is true that Concubine Zheng said that she does not plan to continue the emperor's heir herself again, not only because she is afraid of being sad again, but also because she feels that before the root of the problem with the emperor's heir is found out, getting pregnant again is nothing more than tormenting herself.
If there is no accident, it is very difficult for their faction to have an heir of their own blood, so they can only use their brains from other people's heirs.
But the emperor's heir in other people's lives is not just for noble concubines.
Zheng Gu privately told the noble concubine that if the adopted son is used to plan for great things, the two people in the Sixth Palace have the most advantages. The first one is of course Empress Ji. The second one is Yunfenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang's background is not high, and he does not belong to the core direct line of any faction currently controlling the government.
But she is also fundamentally different from the poor family and good family who are caught in the palace—she is more tossed, rebellious, ambitious, and cruel than many high-ranking concubines... Such a character in a normal In the environment of marrying a wife or choosing a concubine, you will definitely be out of the game.
However, under the environment of Guochao, Emperor Chunjia was very likely to support her as the future empress dowager instead of Empress Ji.
The reason is simple: Yunfenghuang's family is weak, and it is unlikely that there will be a second Ji clan; Decline down.
And from the young master's point of view, it's not that the mother-in-law is a level behind, and she is not easy to be kidnapped emotionally. When I grow up, I can let go and flex my muscles.
Jian Tao hesitated and asked: "But your majesty, Your Majesty has always been magnanimous, so it's fine if you don't argue with Mao Jieyu, the one from Huzhu Palace..."
When mentioning Yuan Niangniang, Concubine Zheng Gui, who had a mild expression, couldn't help but turn cold: "At that time, Emperor Xiaozong thought about the Gongxiang family, and even though he had no heirs behind him, he wanted to establish an emperor's younger brother... Although it failed, my uncle said, Emperor Xiaozong tried his best to consider for the royal family and the world. Now he is in his prime, and he has been neglected in the palace for eight years and has never indulged in sex. At such an age, such a mind, for a woman without a brain, Don't even have this kind of awareness? Then Ben Gong and uncle don't have to work so hard for the future of the family!"
After finishing these words in one breath, the imperial concubine slowed down again, "Besides, I just told Mao Jieyu that there are too many people in this palace who want Yuan's death. Mao Jieyu is young and has little experience. Ah, I can't make it in the queue!"
The line of Yunfenghuang is their Zheng family's escape route in case of unexpected events, not to mention that the imperial concubine did not have a good impression of Yuan Niangniang, even if she did, the future of the family must be more important at this moment!
At this moment, he said, "I will arrange for this person, so don't worry about it."
"Your Majesty, treat Mao Jieyu so kindly, but what if..." Jiantao pondered over and over again, and finally asked, "If Your Majesty...well, I'll come back to stay in the palace in the future, what?"
The emperor has just started to take charge of the government. Ji and the others are still watching, and they haven't made a move yet!
What if Emperor Chunjia loses and returns to his puppet?
"It doesn't matter." Concubine Zheng said disapprovingly, "It's just that Concubine Shu changed people, Yun's grandson fell into the hands of the enemy, and Xie secretly got rid of some Yun's children... This is for us. , is it important?"
Jian Tao thought about it too, no matter how you calculate this matter, the most unlucky one is the Duke Yi's mansion.
If the emperor succeeds in his own administration, they will not only lose their own daughters, but also watch the concubine's children call the culprit, the concubine, and watch the culprit step by step sit on the throne of the queen mother, and the family members kneel three times and nine times under the phoenix seat;
If the emperor fails in his own administration, they will still lose their own daughters, and they will still be forced to watch their grandson call the culprit, mother and concubine, and watch the culprit flourish in the palace...
Just thinking about it makes me shed bitter tears for Yun Shi.
Well, after careful consideration, Jiantao took back the above sentence.
You can't die if you don't do it.
This sentence should be more suitable for Yun's.
"Yun Ronghua's status is still too high now." The imperial concubine remembered something again at this time, and told her, "You should think of a way when you are serving in the side hall, and demote her a few more levels... Ben Gong I have made a move today, although I have deceived Concubine Shu and the Empress this time, it is not good to continue to play in person, so as not to be seen by them as the real target, and if they become suspicious at that time, it will be troublesome."
Jiantao respectfully agreed, but showed a coy look.
The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
"My maidservant still has a doubt." Jiantao whispered furtively, "How does the empress know that when your majesty goes down, it will be the young master who takes the throne? If your majesty can really control Ji Yunei..."
Life and death are not in the hands of the ministers, so it may not wait for the emperor's heir to grow up!
The emperor's heir has grown up, so why do you want the queen mother to preside over the overall situation?
The noble concubine sneered when she heard the words, and said: "I thought you were going to say something...Look at your stupidity, it's fortunate that you are serving in front of Yun Ronghua, and you have hardly seen Mao Jieyu, otherwise, I'm afraid It has been seen for a long time.”
He stretched out his fingers and tapped her forehead hard, hating that iron could not become steel, "Since ancient times, it is rare for a master to live a long life! What's more, the father of today's life passed away before he could be confused! The two majesties of Shenzong Xiaozong are similar. Dead at age... Shengshou is twenty-three years old this year, and he has no children! Ordinary rich people need the protection of elders to support their family in their weak crown years, let alone such a huge country?!"
As far as the age of Emperor Chunjia's biological father and heir father was concerned, no one expected him to live a long life at all—well, even if he lived a long life suddenly, Zheng's plan to secretly invest in the future prince was in vain. Is this a big loss?
It's really nothing when Yun's is being pitted by Yun Fenghuang at the front.
Compared with the life and safety of the Hezu, this price is even more inconspicuous!
"By the way, you go back and tell the others to see if there are any suitable ones among the newly recruited girls, and help some of them to get up and make some noise." Seeing that Jian Tao lowered her head and repeatedly admitted her mistake, the noble concubine calmed down a bit, and ordered, "The kind that can make Mao Jieyu show her face in front of the queen... This Jieyu is very scheming, and her original bad hand has come to this point. To be honest, in time, even if Ben Gong and uncle don't get involved, She may not be incapable of accomplishing great things by herself. Even though Ben Gong has never been condescending tonight, and she is holding her back, she must still have resentment in her heart... There is no need for such a person to hate us in her heart, so what can be made up for is Do it nicely, understand?"
Seeing Jiantao write it down carefully, she nodded slightly, "That's it, I'm gone, you can go back to the side hall and look at Yun Ronghua."
But at this moment, Yun Fenghuang was resting his chin and listening to the people below telling the emperor what happened at Yi Xing'en's place: "...I've been asking questions about Yi Cai's daughter for a long time, asking about her health...and going to bed now?"
